Recoveringhobo

We have this debate over and over again in r/berkeley, a community which I used to be an active part of. Essentially, every time Berkeley makes national news the sub gets brigaded by TD. Some of those trolls stick around and then post tired tirades anytime there is something remotely political on the sub. And some of them even try to pose as Berkeley students.

Almost everyone on the sub is tired of the constant brigading and would like more active moderation of the trolls. The main moderator refuses to do anything and has similar views to your own, thinking that we should welcome them with open arms. This has the effect where Berkeley students and residents can't even talk about things affecting their community as they get drowned out by the mass of right-wing trolls. And this usually comes at times when its most crucial for there to be an avenue for Berkeley students/residents to have a platform to speak with each other (e.g. protests, riots, local political issues).

> Well, there is a big difference between "Austinites" and people that moved to Austin from somewhere else and now make up 4/5ths of the population. I made up that number, but it's not a bad guess. Austin is an east coast city in Texas.

You could say the same thing about SF, Oakland, Portland, LA, Seattle, Boston, New York, etc etc. Name a city with a booming economy in the U.S. that isn't mostly transplants.

> Everybody there is from LA or the east coast and brought their road rage and terrible attitudes to Austin. It seems all the actual Austinites are leaving the city for nearby small towns like Dripping Springs, Elgin, Fredricksburg, San Marcos, New Braunsfels, etc.

Once again, you could say the same thing about any of the popular cities for young people to move to. I currently live in Seattle and hear people saying the exact same thing all the time. Californians pricing Seattlites out and bringing road rage yada yada. I'm originally from the East Bay and have experienced the exact same gentrification process in my own home town.

> People actually from Austin seem to be way cooler than the people that moved to Austin from somewhere else. No offense to the transplants -- I used to be one and certainly Austinites are way cooler than I am. But I'm guessing they've also looked around and come to the same conclusion like the person here. Austin was probably as cool as they say in the 80s and 90s. Not so much these days.

I've heard this exact same sentiment online about all the hip cities in the U.S.

Uh... I'm sure every paragraph there is a red flag for most peope on HN. I know it is at least for me, and I own guns and was an Eagle Scout.

For the uninformed, what problems would Rust's features and microkernel not protect against?

Really? Awesome!

What's Microsoft's game plan with this? Are they trying to drive more people towards Azure?

I don't think there's enough time to teach. My machine learning class at Berkeley only felt like we were getting our feet wet.

Yep. I have two services using the API, both only really used by my friends. One is a cost splitting web app and the other was to send money to your friends only through SMS.

The legacy of Go will be a movement by many developers to statically typed, compiled languages after spending many years with Python, Ruby, and Javascript.

Although it is not groundbreaking, it will continue to be used because it takes the ease of dynamically typed languages and gives you fast compilation.

As a former resident of Lafayette, I'm glad that someone is taking action against the NIMBYs but BARF is out of line here.

The picture BARF paints of what happened is not entirely accurate. The city did not deny the developer from developing the land. After years of public planning meetings the owner of the land decided to work with the city after overwhelming public opposition against the development.
