I think the open source obsession is a bit sad. Open sourcing would mean an end to another entrepreneur and indie developer.

So, instead of open sourcing, I think these should happen:

1. He should get partners who can take care of Sublime Text if he isn't able to do it himself.

2. If Sublime Text is about to become abandonware, then it would be better to sell it to another small company, which could carry on developing it.

> Plenty of European examples abound where despite generous - some would argue very generous - state dispensed benefits certain sections of the society just do not respond positively in measures of improvement of their own station in life much less "working on things to improve everyone's else (lives)".

For many years people on English out of work benefits were not allowed to do voluntary work or be a student - those were things that would have stopped the benefits.

This carried over to some of the disability benefits. If you did voluntary work to prepare you to get back into full time work your benefits would be stopped.

That Makefile is... weird. Why issue a "make sub-target" command? Makefiles are all about understanding dependencies, so you should actually be doing

target: dependency
<commands>

...instead of

target:
make dependency
<commands>

Doing it this way actually breaks dependency checks. It's just plain wrong.

Here's a "proper" Makefile, complete with conditionals, expansion, etc.:

Lennart has stated very clearly, that if someone where to propose some other publicly available server, that he would be happy to put that down instead.

Also note, that the reporter didn't write "don't use this, we can't handle the load", but "don't use this, weird stuff will happen to your server".

But yes, I agree, Googles NTP servers should be removed as a default. But a vendor pool also isn't a solution apparently. Luckily, there are people actively working on a PR to simply have no default. So everyone should just calm down and give the issue a while to resolve itself, instead of venting here on HN.

I tried to use WordPress once. I downloaded a theme from wordpress.org with the assumption that themes are reviewed before making there. Nevertheless, I did some basic pentesting before putting my app live, and I quickly found a XSS vulnerability in the search bar of the theme (their paid version featured the same vulnerability). Maybe my experience is not to be generalised to WordPress in general, but it put me off.

Network Locum (http://www.networklocum.com) | London, UK | ONSITE | FULLTIME / INTERN

Network Locum is a data-driven marketplace fixing the problem of flexible staffing in the NHS, matching hospitals and surgeries with temporary doctors. We get over 10000 sessions posted every month, and have just series-A'd.

Our tech stack is mainly microservices – currently in Python and Django, Angular and Node – running on Redis, Mongo and MySQL.

What we believe in:

* Getting stuff done
* Testing quickly and often
* Making informed, data-driven decisions
* Lean principles and Agile + Scrum project management
* Developers spending their time doing what they do best: developing
* Cultural fit is as important as raw technical skills – we can teach you!
* Everyone shapes the direction of the product

We have an office in Shoreditch that our team of ~20 works out of. We're looking for engineers, designers, and thinkers of all shapes and sizes. If you’d like to join us and be challenged on a daily basis, while having fun with great people, then shoot us your github profile, or a description of the coolest project you've worked on to michael@networklocum.com
>The vast majority of people are not. You're vastly over-estimating the general population. The majority are lazy, and if given money, will sit watching reality TV and stuffing their face with ice cream.

I've always felt that this argument against basic minimum income said more about the arguer than society at large. In my experience, everyone has a personal project that gets sidelined for their work.
Growing up we definitely couldn't play on the streets, since cars were everywhere, sports and entertainment were far away and expensive and schools we a toxic social environment.

Computers got relatively cheap (we didn't own the latest and greatest) and provided quite a lot of fun. I'd probably do much worse if I avoided them.

Maybe concerned parents would do better if they lobbied communities to provide better environments for children - more opportunities for fun, safer and less controlling.
Any discussion of basic income should at least mention the excellent novel by Janusz Zajdel, "Limes Inferior" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limes_inferior). I think he very accurately portrays a system where everyone is guaranteed basic income (along with some other interesting and mostly terrifying concepts).

It is true (and sad, I think) that many people, given basic income, will do nothing to improve themselves or their surroundings. But I still think basic income is an idea worth pursuing.
Translation: "Society at large has no value, it is up to the strong to take from the many and cull the weak."
Communism: "A theory or system of social organization in which all property is owned by the community, and each person contributes and receives according to their ability and needs."

Basic Income: "An income unconditionally granted to all on an individual basis, without means test or work requirement."

I dunno, they sound pretty different to me.

I completely agree that it's good to be cautious and to pay attention to recommendations. That's absolutely orthogonal to legislating on the matter!
I don't understand why it's always been such a surprise that various hominid groups interbred. It's not like one day there were Neandertals and the next day they stopped existing and the next group took over. Surely that's just part and parcel of evolutionary theory?
I guess the TL;DR is: Sure it's not very good, but it caters to non-technical people who have no idea it is, so, eh, what're you gonna do?
I don't think what you're referencing works as a good counterexample. Currently benefits only goes to those who needs it or seeks it. It says little about how the people who don't need it, or wouldn't seek welfare payments they don't need, will behave.

I think public welfare systems has a tendency to make "leechers" more visible. They leech on the government rather than family and they probably tend to collect in specific areas, but I'm not convinced it makes the problem worse.

Although I think basic income would work, I agree that he was exaggerating when he wrote that it "seems pretty obvious". There are some evidence that it would be beneficial, and there's also some pretty straight-forward arguments for why it would be good on a national scale (less bureaucracy). But we won't know until we try. I think more experiments are in order (1: removing restrictions and terms of welfare payments to see if that leads to more undesirable behavior. 2: giving basic income to a whole town with correspondingly realistic taxes to see if working people's behavior changes)
Yeah. I've been using fig for a while now (and will eventually replace everything with compose), and it's simpler than Vagrant for reproducible environments.

There is one little caveat when using boot2docker, in that when you're running tests on a separate terminal you need to be careful to remember to do $(boot2docker shellinit) _and_ expose container ports so that they're visible outside the boot2docker VM - so check your IPs and make sure your containers log the environment variables they're using for links, so that you can check where to connect your tests :)
Wow, interesting. Why do people use YAML syntax then? I find JSON much simpler, less ambiguous. Much prefer JSON for configuration over YAML.

My first reaction is also: that is cool. When I think about it I come up with this: a human could also easily have taught her that. Learning things by yourself isn't always a bad thing of course. But, by using the iPad way she missed out on social interaction.

> Maybe my experience is not to be generalised to WordPress in general, but it put me off.

WordPress plug ins are - as far as I know - not reviewed. You're at the mercy of the respective developer.
> I wonder where would these people fit in a world where we all are putting so much pressure to work super hard and be smart.

Nowhere. Fortunately, working one's ass is not that important.

Look at the thing this way: there's only so many people who are excited about
writing yet another social portal, chat system, invoicing application, or
video publishing service. Industry needs people who are capable of creating
and maintaining those. Being passionate about them surely helps, but it's not
a requirement. It's much easier to find people who have craftsmanship strong
enough to do their best wherever they are assigned.

> Or is it that few people at the right place at right time bragging on their blogs for popularity?

I wouldn't assume they do it for popularity. It's more like popularity follows
their narrative, because people like stories about good things happening.
@beyti: Agree, Added now!
The international press seemed to get hold of this last week and the early coverage pointed to a Dutch article with far more direct quotes [1]. My Dutch is poor but my understanding is that the primary aim is as much (if not more) about reducing administrative burden as it is about basic/universal income.

Also, I haven't seen any coverage in the mainstream Dutch press... which is somewhat telling.

How to turn your server-side code into a service with generated APIs and SDKs?
I'd love to work in a place like that - I feel very uncomfortable in an ordered environment where row upon row of offices is filled with a placid set of cubicles, all the same shape, color, and design. Visual noise definitely helps me focus - some of my best work has been done in a coffeeshop environment during prime time, headphones on, in the zone, lots of chaos and motion going on around me - and some of my worst work experiences have been while sitting in a row, upon rows, of static desks all looking the same. Conformity may be good for the bean counters, but a lot of us can't get ourselves seeded and primed without a sip from /dev/random first, it seems.
Very nice! How is the performance/feel?
What I mean is, that many people are still stuck at the 'we need more data' stage, or at least at the 'better data collection/verification'. And that the focus of much analysis and modeling is less on actionable advice, but more... well how shall I put it, 'dissecting' data, without having a clear way in mind how that dissection will lead to insights that are relevant for the stakeholder.

I should probably mention that this in the context of academia, I guess business analytics has an existential intrinsic motivation to be actionable.

"sounds like a good argument to use a local bank that only operates in your state, rather than a national bank"

These thoughts are all valid, but they don't apply to you as an under-two-years-old. The brain development that takes place in early childhood is as once-in-a-lifetime as it gets. If you miss or destroy something here, you ruin people for life.

Better environments for children would be a universal plus either way.

I would wager there will be people who will take advantage of the system and use it as a opportunity to not work and laze around all day however those people will be the one who are not particularly productive in their work anyway.

They might find something else to do they might not but that's OK it is an acceptable loss.

On the other end companies which used to take advantage of the job market and the fact that everybody needs a job to survive will have a hard time to find employees since now people can afford to be selective.

When survival is off the table nothing is more important than enjoying your job since you spend a great deal of the day doing it.

Another possibility is part-time work being more sought after since some people may want to work but wouldn't like to spend 8 hours every day doing it.

Overall i believe it will have a positive effect on society if you don't get hung up on the fact that some people will take advantage of it which most politicians tend to do even with the benefit system in the UK.
Wow, that's really sad. Do you have a link for that statistic? How is it determined?

"Features" are not the only things that matter when it comes to weighing languages against each other.

Is it unanimously agreed that C++ is "superior by definition" to C? What about Objective-C?
I never understood, why this is a problem. We live in a society of abundance. Tying coverage of living expenses to work done, just leads to people doing pointless work. This is at least the reality in Germany: There aren't enough jobs for everyone, people live under the illusion that it is wrong to just subsidize people living, thus the government rather subsidizes jobs, that are not profitable to be done by people (my mother crimped cables from home for a living, something that can be done by a machine for a fraction of the price in orders of magnitude less time).

Apart from that, it is called "basic income", not "luxurious income". Ask these people if they still wouldn't work if the alternative is not being able to afford a smartphone, Game console, plasma TV or car.
The idea of basic income is to take people out of starvation and lack of shelter. It would still leave people wanting to earn in order to e.g. go on holiday, own a computer, go to a bar, go to a restaurant, eat nice food, own a car (in Europe where owning a car is not required at least) etc - i.e. still plenty of incentive to work, earn and save just more freedom to take risks by e.g. starting that business...

You also miss a basic premise of basic income - everyone gets it with no means testing. It is a different concept to current benefit systems. Normal people would receive it as much as unemployed people.
Awesome library.

You don't mention the fact it's completely unworkable mathematically. In the UK I believe it'd cost £240 billion a year. Where the hell would anyone be able to find that money from? (Tackling tax avoidance from Starbucks isn't a credible answer).

Channel 4 is a "public service" channel only in the sense that it was one of the first four channels to come into existence at a time when the quid pro quo for having a broadcast licence was that challenging, worthy, high-quality programmes were broadcast.

Today, Channel 4 is still technically a PSB, but it's not and has never been "non-commercial" - it shows adverts and makes profits just like any other commercial channel.

Calling "Benefits Street" a documentary would be like saying that Jersey Shore or The Osbournes was a documentary. It's not.
