I have a phone and a smartwatch on right now. I could also see some kind of mini-wearable like a pendant or bracelet or cufflink that could change colors for priority notifications or other user defined events. Heck, I could see something built, tastefully, into the frames of my glasses as well.

As long as its convenient, useful, and easy to use, people will be on board.

As a side note, I stopped wearing my Moto 360 for a week due to being too lazy to unpack my charger from a recent trip. I was driven half-crazy by having to pull out my phone all the time for basic notifications or to check the time. Once people get a taste of wearables they'll love them.

Of course it's better than the alternative and I am sure they are thankful. But a common scenario is, send a family rep, typically the father on the dangerous journey, a person most likely to succeed. This person then in the receiving country applies for permission to get his family over too. By the time everything is done, children may have been without their father for two years. Everyone is getting kind of traumatized from it. I am all for thorough background checks, but at least in my country, they take a long time not because of thorough checks, but because the system is seriously backlogged. Most of the time could be cut if we had more resources allocated to the task. Alas, reality, budgets and stuff gets in the way...
Why do you state this like it's a truth?

If you are fleeing from ISIS why, for heaven's sake, would you go to Saudi Arabia?
True - there's still ways of helping without that.

But what's the fear about letting refugees into the country? Why are people so scared of this? (genuine question =))

It seems to me the only countries whom are scared are the ones who think they're the best, greatest and fear loosing that status. This sounds like idk...country ego? lol.

edit: accidentally submitted too early, sorry.

Syria was fairly stable until its people made demands and their leader responded with gun fire. Not sure where you see the role of "the West" in that escalation. Do you think the problem was that the West sneakily infected Syrian people with the absurd idea that they could have the same rights as people elsewhere? Or maybe that the West failed to support Syrian rebels when they begged for it, allowing Assad to go on fighting his people for years and IS and other jihadist groups to gain ground in the country?
They're often not the same culture, and not the same religion.
You're right. I just toned down my language. What I meant to say is that doing away with type safety is an old idea, and its downsides are old too. You end up with code that's harder to read, because you can't tell what the types are supposed to be, and you run into bugs that show up far away from your mistakes.

Well, unless you are 10 years old, you need to know how to accept responsibility. If you accept someone to live under your roof, you need to plan for a situation when they can't/won't move out. Similar to adopting a child - if you get tired of being a parent after two weeks, you can't just give the child back.

I know some people who would be ok with living with a refugee. I know some people who wouldn't. I'm one of them too. But I think it's alright either way.
The thing about Go is that some parts, like channels and goroutines

I have written a fair share of Go now and have only rarely used channels or goroutines. In practice, channels are only a good model for a subset of concurrency scenarios and they come with problems.

Also, those criticizing Go are right (of course). No amount of Go usage will alleviate its shortcomings. The lack of parametric polymorphism is incredibly annoying, error handling is mediocre (Rust handles this much better), and the lack of support for even simple abstractions (algebraic data types) is jarring.

Nonetheless, I continue to use Go, because they also got a lot of things right: compile times, tooling, a very-well documented standard library, good compatibility between 1.x releases, a UNIX feel, low-barrier entry for other contributors to Go projects, and a thriving ecosystem for a relatively young language. (Of course, the JVM and Java do as well on these points, except for UNIX-feel.)
Unless, of course, it was assumed this discussion would take place.

> There's nothing wrong with examining a person for a year before letting them settle in your country. The system has worked well thus far, why bust it up?

The Australian government just got given yet another report telling them that this attitude is dangerous. Most estimates from reviews of Australia's current system (intake is in the tens of thousands, however arrivals by boat are processed offshore in Nauru or PNG) is that the timeframe from someone seeking assylum to being declined/accepted needs to be about three months or less - any longer and mental health takes a serious toll and children end up being behind in education.
Love this thing. Whoever made it is a genuis
So what I fail to understand is that, if those two reasons are why we end up with these homogeneous companies, why is that a problem?

If the field your company is in is something that is predominately an Asian culture thing along with being mostly appealing to males, why is it bad that your company may consist of mostly Asian males? To me, those would be the ones who understand their target market the most and can relate to their customers. Even a company that has a very diversified customer base may be be made up of mostly Asian Males, and there is nothing wrong with that.

I think it's wrong to see a company that isn't "diversified" in the way this article puts it, and think it needs to change. The sheep of political correctness have made too much of an impact on people and for some reason today it's wrong to take any stance that disagrees with the popular opinion.

If I want to start a company with all white females, I should be able to. Is it the best for the company, probably not, but that shouldn't matter. Yes I know employer discrimination laws makes this illegal, it's just an example. If my company sold products to west Texas oil men, guess what, I can't have anybody wearing a turban. That is just the ugly truth. We are human. People will not like other people just because they are different, by appearance and culturally. Hiding this truth behind a veil of ignorance does not solve anything.

It seems most people today lie to themselves to stay politically correct in the public eye. Yet they know their own believe is different.

Section 8 housing has seen this problem. People want to live next to similar people, both wealth, status, cultural, etc. When they declare a property section 8 in a neighborhood like that, the neighborhood's property values decline and people move.

If my company had a strong culture full of people with similar ideas and views, and I forcefully put people in for the sake of "diversity", I would most likely create tension among some employees and possibly lose productivity, cohesiveness, or talent.

Sorry for the rant, I guess my TLDR is: Don't think you have to be diverse (racially and gender wise) for the sake of being diverse and public opinion. We are human, don't hide what you believe and don't sacrifice your morals to be politically correct. I should never have to defend myself by saying "I'm definitely NOT a racist." for who I employee or choose to spend my time with.

To clarify though, I do not have a company full of Asian Males or any other dominant race or gender combination, it was just an example.
Interesting concept. I especially like that you've made it a little bit more fun, which could make it more accessible. If I'm not mistaken, these are bite-size tutorials?

> European countries to accept these "refugees" when the majority of EU countries is not responsible for this situation at all.

I'll pass over the casual xenophobia implicit in your post (just for you info, Lebanon has over 1 million Syrian refugees for a population of ~4.5 million, Jordan has ~600,000 refugees for a population of ~8 million), I just want to mention how the whole Middle East fuck-up is the result of the post-WW1 partitions, for which the UK and France are hugely responsible. I'll also copy-paste this from the wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_involvement_in_the_Syr...):

> On 19 September 2013, French President François Hollande hinted that France was ready to begin supplying lethal aid to the Free Syrian Army during a press conference in Bamako in a "controlled framework". Hollande told the conference that "On delivering weapons we have always said that we want to control these supplies so that they do indeed go to the Free Syrian Army ... because they represent the Syrian National Coalition that we recognise as the legitimate representative of the Syrian people and today they are caught between a hammer and an anvil. The hammer is the air strikes and actions of the Syrian regime and the anvil is radical Islam.

Two years later it turns out that the FSA is almost an empty shell (with the partial exception of the southern region around Daraa - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_Southern_Syria_offensive), and the forces now fighting Assad in Syria are mostly Islamist, from Al Nusra (the local Al Qaeda branch) to the Islamic Front. So what Hollande was suggesting was something along the lines of "let's bomb Assad and help this other bad guys instead".
This looks very interesting. Applied for the backend javascript developer position through your job portal. Hope to hear from you soon.
A friend of mine died a few years ago. He was no success by society's standards, but a success in my eyes. He had a saying that at first I didn't agree with, but saw the wisdom as I got older. He used to say, "When in doubt, do noting."

There's some usefulness to that comment. Sometimes, procrastination can let the mind(including subconscious) figure out all consequences of an action. In other words, "Don't do any thing hasty." sometimes is the best plan? I know by procrastinating on certain legal/business decisions, I saved a lot of money/time. The more I thought about the problem/opportunity, the more I saw its flaws, and pitfalls of acting too quick. (No I didn't read the article, just the comments. I find myself going right to the comments on some topics. I wonder if other HN's do the same? I imagine it must tick off the website who wrote the original article?)

Java appears to be the lingua franca of the enterprise world, for better or worse, and that means there's going to be a lot of mediocre code out there. Unfortunately, the only way around a lot of it is going to be to hold your nose.

You'd do well to learn the extras provided by Java Enterprise Edition - basically it bolts web services stuff onto the standard Java stack.
I think it's a canary. How many languages do you hear this said about? I've only heard it in regards to Go which is fairly pedestrian (read: looks and acts something like C / Java) as far as these things go.

More exotic languages, which take the uninitiated longer to acclimate to, don't seem to be trying to tell people they're not allowed to think deeper about and question the design of the language. Good criticisms of Go were made on day 1 and are being made to this day, Rob Pike's ego notwithstanding.

At the end of the day, if I see a problem with a developing language I am interested in, I'm going to report it. If I'm met with: "I don't know you but I'll assume you don't know what you're talking about" that's a second problem and I'm not about to double-down on it.
It totally needs to be.

Warning to my fellow chumps: that is a direct link to the gzip bomb. Clicking on it causes a download, which results in Windows Defender promptly losing its mind as it tries to decompress the whole thing looking for viruses. (win 8.1)

Interestingly enough, it's not using up any memory, but it is hitting the disk at 55MB/s, so I'm guessing it's decompressing it to disk, and will eventually crash when it fills up my hard drive.

EDIT: It gave up after fifteen minutes. That's nice, now I don't have to reboot. There was about 2 gigabytes of stuff in my temp folder when I ran disk cleanup, don't know how much of that was gzip bomb output.

As a country of 80M people (Germany), they can probably handle quite a few but there's a point when the demographic shift is going to be.. unpleasant. Most immigrants don't leave their old practices behind and in most cases, that's not a big deal. This group of immigrant isn't Christian or areligious (most of Europe is one of the two) and doesn't hold similar views of [choose: women, society, gays, religion, etc, etc], so there already are and will continue to be clashes.

Hopefully those groups assimilate into the common German belief/societal structures but history says that with big enough numbers, they won't have to..
By that admittedly subjective standard, goroutines and channels have been a big success (compared to asynchronous code).

Most Syrians supported Assad. Also, many of the militant revolutionaries were imported from other countries and supported/trained by foreign powers including the gulf states. Now we have ISIS which is simply an extension of that program that has maybe gotten a bit out of control.

Foreign meddling caused this problem. Very simply.
It would absolutely change. GPL defines any incorporation or usage of a GPL work as a derivative work, thus effectively only permitting other GPL codes to use this library. That means any software in the Apache, Eclipse, or BSD-style ecosystems (among many others) cannot use this.

As for multiple authors, in theory you were required to have their permission to release it under the GPL (or any other open source license) in the first place. Given your uncertainty, it's possible that permission wasn't obtained and you could already be on unstable legal ground. I would reach out to all contributors and ask them for permission to release under a more flexible license like BSD/MIT or Apache2 to encourage more widespread use.

Actually I see this as a monetization issue. As site visitor all I have is your IP address and typical user-agent stuff. That doesn't get me much money.

In the world of apps, I can fool you into giving up your location (or on android just sample it as needed without the end user knowing) and other privacy stealing tricks I can resell to advertisers and marketers. I can also embed ads right into my application and have IAP to make even more money.

Until the mobile platforms fix these issues, there will be a financial incentive to push apps over pages. That's the elephant in the room here.
