I've recently discovered Netbeans and I like it. It's currently the only Java IDE I can get running on aarch64. But I know what you're saying. The contributors that are left sound rather desperate for help.
Everyone I disagree with is a "foreign bot". I swear this is the new form of American elitism. The fact that the leftists of the coastal regions apply this kind of thinking to even their countrymen only proves my point further.
Between the likes of "Iraq WMDs" or "FISA memo", I don't think I'm going to trust anything the U.S. intelligence and counterintelligence community says, thank you very much.
Could you please stop posting ideological flamebait to HN? Two of your last three comments have been that—this is bad. The other of the three was quite good, so if you stick to posting civilly and substantively, you'll be fine.
The point here is simply that Google's algorithm is translating texts and applies a statistical bias, i.e. the algorithm introduces systematic errors into translations. This results in objectively poor performance of a translation system.
> you still have to leave after a year to get more than inflation
This hits home. I've been in software development for quite some time (10 years), I've been with 4 employers so far (full time) and pretty much all my significant raises have come as a result of me looking for a better paying position and then leaving. I may have been unlucky (I also did not work for a really large company yet), but I feel like the "career develoment" opportunities within software engineering companies are way under the level they should be.
I think this has been the way of the tech industry, and particularly SV, for a long time now. My uncle, now passed away, started at Atari in the early 80s and hopped companies every three years until his final job with Nvidia in a fairly senior position. He stayed with Nvidia until his death a little over a year ago.
Each time he switched it up he grew his salary exponentially.
Constant growth rate gives rise to a quantity that is an exponential function of time [not to be confused with a constant rate of increase, which gives rise to a linear function of time].
As that Wikipedia article says, the continuous-time equation for exponential growth, x(t) = x(0) e^(kt), arises as the solution to the ODE x'(t) = kx, where k is the constant growth rate.
Similarly, in discrete-time, exponential growth follows the equation x_t = x_0 (1+r)^t, where r is the constant growth rate.
The formula for constant growth over time, for example, a 2% increase every year, would be starting salary * 1.02 ^ t where t is the number of years. So there is an exponent present, and constant growth is an exponential process.
Someone please explain to me why is this kind of thing on HN? This place is becoming more Reddit-like by the day. The problem? You only have one subreddit, the main one. Could we please stop filling it with garbage like this? Is HN really a place for dumping random people's opinions on investment opportunities?
If you don't see the "good sense" then maybe the problem is in you. Politicians should probably watch what they say, but they should definitely watch what they do. In the age of a random accusation ending people's careers (this year's events made this painfully obvious to anyone even outside of the college space, the #metoo overreaction and what happened to James Damore being prime examples), it makes perfect sense to watch who you're meeting with and under what circumstances. Don't "trust women"? What about just don't trust people. Blindly trusting women, as if they're a special case of a human, that's like something from a neo-marxist book of a social justice activist. Nonsense. Defending yourself from an accusation is infinitely easier when you can prove that you in fact weren't at the place at the time.
The other side of why this makes "good sense" is the temptation angle - you can't get tempted if you don't have an opportunity. Unlike what the lefties think, Christians are people too and they get tempted just like other people, especially when drunk. Men are like recovering addicts when it comes to mating (all heterosexual or homosexual men with regular levels of libido are like that, if you say this doesn't apply to you, you are a liar). Resisting a beautiful woman/man flirting with you is like being a heroin addict trying to not shoot up a dose in front of you. Of course you can resist, but it's hard, requires a lot of self control and most people are incapable of doing it without first experiencing the drawbacks. Is there another option? Don't put yourself into that situation in the first place... if you're married, there's no reason for you to be alone with likely sexual partners when alcohol is involved. All the cries about "sexism" of what Pence said are absolute nonsense and probably stem from the left's disrespect of traditional family values and marriage (they don't see having 50 partners in a year as a problem and an "open relationship" is almost a goal for them). There were multiple cases this year (not two, but like a dozen) of self-proclaimed male feminists who supposedly "trusted women" and "trusted themselves to demonstrate appropriate behavior" who should be the beacons of proper behavior when it comes to "respecting women" who ended up being sexual harassers, rapists or even murderers in one case. Does this prove anything? No, but it illustrates that "trusting yourself" is easy to say and hard to do even if your stated goal is exactly that.
Not that it matters, but since this accusation is very likely - no, I'm not a Christian... or a Republican... or an American.
"In the age of a random accusation ending people's careers (this year's events made this painfully obvious to anyone even outside of the college space, the #metoo overreaction and what happened to James Damore being prime examples),"
Do you have any specific examples of "a random accusation ending people's careers"? As far as I know, all of the recent media activity has had confirmative evidence and Damore 1) was never accused of anything other than being none-too-bright, 2) is a significantly different case, and 3) was hardly a random accusation.
P.S. The sexism of Pence's statement probably has more to do with the part about requiring any aides that work late with him to be men. Rather limits the career of any female aide, no?
P.P.S. Don't forget that lefties don't have blood like normal humans; they have a thick, black tarry substance that smells of sulphur.
When did "neo-marxism" become a slur? Did people just stick "neo" in the front for no reason? Are there people who refer to themselves as "neo-marxists" or is it just some word that goes next to "postmodernism" and "third wave feminism" as words that make people mad but have been completely detached from their actual meaning.
"Marxism" is actually really out of style in modern left leaning academic and social justice activism circles, since it focuses on exactly one axis of oppression.

Asking members to support journalism, The Guardian - I'm sorry, is this a joke? Buzzfeed (yes, that Buzzfeed... well when they're not making one of their retarded videos and actually do some investigative journalism) has higher journalistic value than The Guardian.
In all fairness, it's not entirely obvious that this is how to do it.
But it's a good tip nonetheless. Once you click the "x minutes/hours/days ago" link, besides bookmarking the resulting URL in your browser or elsewhere, you also have a few more options that show up at the top of the comment page. One of them is to "favorite" the comment. You can also favorite a submission in a similar way.
Just be advised that your favorite submissions and comments lists are public.
> it's not entirely obvious that this is how to do it
I totally agree that this is an example of insane, hidden functionality. How could anyone know that "click timestamp" = "view details"? Makes no sense.
However, seemingly every site/app has adopted this, from Twitter to Facebook to several PM services.
OK, so on HN, it's clickable. But "gray text without underline" isn't always clickable on HN. This is true of other sites: it isn't even clear that the timestamp is clickable at all, let alone what'll happen if you do click it.
Why not acknowledge that this is a problem and just add a little "Permalink" link, which some sites used to have? Or at least a permalink icon?
Surely the combined design talent of Google, Facebook, and Twitter can solve this problem better.
I think hidden is not quite the right word. It's a link, likely displayed in a hypertext browser.
A hypertext system that doesn't treat links as slightly opaque, explaining them in detail wherever they appear, sounds unpleasant to me.
I guess you could probably modify most such systems to have a flashing popup on every link that said "There is more information available if you click on the text here!!!!".
YouTube is demonetizing any and all content that is politically charged or even just not interesting to the advertisers. If content by Brady Haran is not safe, no one is safe.
