Quoting from the article:

> AS IT TURNS OUT, good craftspeople don't shy away from questioning, criticizing, and trying to improve their tools (or even switching to other tools entirely!)

C is the best tool for a lot of use cases, but no tool can be a perfect fit for every use case. This is the reason that multiple programming languages exist and the world has not converged on using only C everywhere. Also, there are properties not intrinsic to the language that also affect the fit.

Show HN: Firecracker Farm
https://firecracker.farm/
Hello! I’ve been involved with design, web development and media production since the late 1990’s mostly working on other peoples apps, startups, e-commerce, photo and video productions. Some large and well known, some small and unknown. This year, my family and I decided to go a bit more analog and make a thing… to eat. We grow super-hot Ghost, Trinidad Scorpion and Carolina Reaper peppers on our farm and use them to make exquisite hot salt.

Check it out!

Thank you!
Alex

One more thing: I suck at social and understand I need to "grow my audience" ha... Anyway, if you follow and message @ultrahotpeppers on IG, I'll DM you a coupon for 20%off.
Why computer jobs will become more challenging, interesting, and paying?
http://www.futurechips.org/thoughts-on-latest-happenings/ios5-icould-impact-computer-scientists.html
iOS5 and iCloud have connected even the naive users to the cloud. The author describes how this can make computer science a more challenging, interesting, and paying job. I wish he is right:-) It comes from a real engineer (at Intel) and not a "tech writer." This dude knows both software and hardware which makes his views balanced and insightful. Found him on slashdot.

Ask HN: Has HN changed the rules for being able to reply to existing comments?
I've been a registered HN user for 504 days and accrued a modest 269 karma points over that time, but I do think my behaviour has been fairly courteous over that time.

Until earlier today I was allowed to reply to existing comments but the "reply" link has since disappeared. I'm permitted to add a new comment, but just not able to reply to existing comments - and these are on fresh HN posts where I can see new "reply" comments being added all the time.

I've checked my profile and my existing activity using with a new test account over a VPN, in a different browser, and nothing seems untoward - I don't appear to be "[dead]". Also that new account is also missing the "reply" link which leads me to believe a minimum threshold has been set before one is permitted to reply to existing comments.

Has something changed?

Another View At Goldman's Trading Perfection And Statistical Improbabilities
http://www.zerohedge.com/article/another-view-goldmans-trading-perfection-and-statistical-improbabilities#
When a firm's trading performance challenges not only all preconceptions of realistic trading, but also of statistical distributions, one can merely stand back and watch in awe. Attached is a graphic of what a rigged, backstopped and manipulated market is all about. The chart demonstrates Goldman's YTD trading track record: out of 194 trading days in 2009, the firm has made over $100 million on 116 occasions! This alone accounts for $11.6 billion in revenue (and is likely much more as Goldman could have easily had a $1 billion trading day in the rightmost bracket as it is open ended). Assuming midline averages for any given bucket and multiplying by the amount of days that the firm traded within these, Goldman Sachs has made $15 billion courtesy of the skewed and very highly improbable (but not impossible, thank you taxpayers and Ben Bernanke) chart.

PipelineDB (YC W14) is hiring founding engineers
San Francisco, CA - Full Time Only

We're on a mission to build a new type of database for a modern world in which information is constantly moving, and moving fast. PipelineDB runs SQL queries continuously on large volumes of streaming data, giving companies the capability to easily develop scalable, realtime applications and services using only a familiar SQL interface. No application code is required.

This inherently involves solving a lot of big problems, many of which are novel. We’re looking for creative engineers who appreciate the value and freedom of choosing their own projects, approaches, and working with other top talent in a low distraction, streamlined work environment. Our small team has backgrounds from Berkeley, MIT, Facebook, Locu and AdRoll, and we're all doing exactly what we want to be doing: building a groundbreaking new product out of thin air.

We are well funded by top investors including SV Angel, Susa Ventures, Data Collective, Paul Buchheit, and more.

If you’ve been waiting for an opportunity like this, please send your resume and a quick blurb about yourself to jobs@pipelinedb.com.

About the position:

As an early stage engineer you'll ultimately own a very large part of the product. Which part of the product you take charge of depends on where your interests are, but there are several different potential areas of focus. You'll be entrusted to make sound architectural decisions as well as implement your vision effectively. We review each others' code for quality, awareness, and learning, so you'll spend some time contributing your valuable perspective to those efforts as well, although the vast majority of your time will be spent designing and building your own projects.

There is also an optional opportunity to help produce technical and marketing content, speak at conferences, interact with customers, and work as a developer evangelist.

Requirements:

* Bachelor's degree or higher in CS or related field

* You've worked with large C/C++ systems in a Linux environment and are highly effective at navigating them

* You understand the difference between good code and correct code, and you care about testing

* Strong understanding of concurrency

* Strong system-level debugging skills--you are not intimidated by the obscurest of nondeterministic behaviors and race conditions

* Strong understanding of CS theory--you are able to translate theoretical concepts and academic research into practical code

* You have a habit of figuring out how something works before asking someone to explain it to you, regardless of how deep the rabbit hole goes

* Strong understanding of how performant storage systems work

Bonus points:

* Experience with/contributions to PostgreSQL, Storm, Kafka, Samza, Kinesis, or Esper

* Experience with database internals

* Experience building distributed systems

* Experience building realtime systems

Benefits:

* Full medical/dental/vision insurance

* No set work hours--work when you feel smart

* Choose your own setup

* No vacation policy other than that it is strongly encouraged

* Large equity ownership

Show HN: Munchy - a recipe search engine (pt.2)
https://joinmunchy.com/search
Last year, I made a post to hacker news showing off a demo of a recipe search engine. The product was unfinished; there was less than 600 recipes, the search engine was primitive, and the UX was mediocre at best. After receiving a lot of feedback from the hacker news community, I went at improving the product. We now have over 150,000 recipes, are using a more sophisticated search algorithm, and have implemented over 5 additional filters to filter by your dietary preferences and needs.
We are building a search engine that will help anyone access recipes that are nutritional. I believe everyone should have access to the dinner they want, no matter their dietary needs or ingredients they have.

Ask HN: What would you want in a web app template?
After submitting a WordPress theme to ThemeForest and having it get declined, I decided to gather all my themes and sell them myself. I built and launched "themESC" (http://themesc.com) in a day.

I got really great feedback and encouragement from HN (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2014428).

Because all I currently have on there are WordPress themes, one of the suggestions I received was to build HTML/CSS templates sans the WordPress for web apps.

So, if you were buying a HTL/CSS template for your web app/ web biz, what would you expect it to have?
