Perhaps, but the GPL licensing of this code isn't a barrier to them doing that, since most of them will be running web services that can use GPL code freely without having to release the rest of their code. If it was AGPL then maybe you would have a point.

The issue in this case is that image formats need widespread support to take off, and picking a license that is incompatible with 4/5 major browsers ensures that won't ever happen.

Its start up is incredibly slow, its operations are slower then native, but then you aren't doing native things.

The argument commonly used is productivity vs speed of operation. Even slow file systems are faster then I can humanly see happen more often then not.

> Would it not end up penalizing the exceptions?

Yup, but so too do credit scores in general. If Harry was unlucky, lost his job and missed a few credit-card payments, then his credit card will suffer regardless of whether he is now actually likely to default; the trouble is that he is the type of person who will default.

It's unfortunate, but that's what happens whenever one tries to categorize people. And it's unavoidable, even with extensive work in-person, as anyone who's ever been deeply disappointed or pleasantly surprised by a family member or close friend can tell. If Pete couldn't tell that his brother would steal his car, can he really be certain that a stranger won't default on his loan? All any of us can do is play the probabilities.

>I think that "ignorance of the law is no protection from breaking it" is desirable. Otherwise it would be on everybody's best interest not to know the law.

Have it depend on some community average. Common laws, ignorance is no excuse. Esoteric laws? Not knowing is an excuse.

This way, society will make sure to know the laws they value (such as knowing theft is wrong because more people would rather not be stolen from than be able to get away with stealing), but society is still protected against insane esoteric laws that just serve to make everyone into a criminal.
I agree with the sentiment, but we're also putting a one-size-fits-all approach to that. It's hard to gauge the recipient's shoes.

>Why should we care about some long-dead slaves' opinion about what is good or bad?

Because they had a more direct experience of it than we can ever have.

I think the (even if implicit) claim that it is better to physically harm, rape, and kill slaves than to be nice to them is highly questionable.

Yes, both are bad situations, but adding additional physical violence doesn't make things better, only worse.

Edit: I guess I should also add that we can never truly know what someone else's experience was. It is especially difficult to know if all you have left after hundreds of years is some text.

I don't think there there is a good objective definition for simplicity, since a large component of what I'm getting at is subjective and context-dependent, and therefore involves "appropriateness". API design is different than app building is different than container building, etc. This is why good developers are so important.

Regarding APIs, I like them to be layered: http://devblog.guidewire.com/2008/10/05/api-design/ so that code built on top of them can be as simple as possible.

I couldn't live without folds. Whether I'm in C++, Java, Go, Ruby, or a custom ASCII report I've written, I use them extensively. I add fold tags around every method/function implementation, and sometimes an additional one around around groups of them (e.g., classes). I generally set foldlevel to 0, so most files I enter have a few intro lines and then N folds, so that even large (1000+ lines) source files fit into a single page or two. I almost never use searches or tags to find declarations, since I can usually navigate to them directly with a single keystroke.

FWIW, I map <Space> to za, so that I can unfold/refold quickly. I also map - to zx to quickly fold up a file I may have drilled some holes in.

As the Show HN guidelines say: "When something isn't good, you needn't pretend that it is." But you also needn't trample over someone's freshly planted garden.

Helpful criticism is fine. Asking a question is fine (a real question, not a gotcha one designed to make someone look bad); for example, one could ask "what do you mean when you say this is a new kind of spreadsheet?" Pointing out similarities to other work is fine. All we want to avoid is being dismissive. Since the line isn't obvious (especially to a million readers), simply err on the side of not being.

On HN, new work doesn't need to be useful, just alive. One can't always predict what will turn out to be useful anyhow.

Everybody showing new work deserves a minimal baseline of respect here. If you know more and have done more than someone else has, that's great. That's an opportunity to teach and to share, not put them down.

Edit: since "new kind of spreadsheet" is arguably a bit baity we've changed to the HTML doc title.

The issue with your comment isn't the subject matter of the discussion, or the correctness of your statements, it's the way you spoke to bsder. I respectfully disagree that my comment was uncalled for.

> your assertion here is laughable

This is an insult. That's what laughable means: his claim is so ludicrous that you could laugh about it. If you don't intend to insult someone who's not on stage delivering a comedy routine, then you shouldn't call their ideas laughable.

> Of course they don't

You purposely emphasized words in a way that, if emphasized by tone in speech, would come across as very condescending.

> obviously not compatible

Telling someone that it's "obvious" what they claimed is incorrect is arrogant. If it was obvious to them, they wouldn't have said it.

Get better lawyers.

Clean-room implementation has been around for ages, I've done it professionally myself, both from source code and disassembly.

Also not every company has clueless lawyers, nor does a clean-room re-implementation of this format need to come from a company, I'd say it's more likely not.

Seriously this sounds more like GPLv3 scaremongering than anything else, I've never seen anything like this in my professional life as a developer.

edit: as for my personal preference, I think GPL is a great license for full application/solution style software, but for libraries/frameworks, I prefer permissive licensing.
I don't consider that a remotely relevant argument. CSS is intended to style webpages at all times, webpages which are dynamic; CSS has never had a 'purpose' of rendering once and only once since oh, I don't know, 1997 or so. You might as well object to the _Magic: the Gathering_ example because it assumes a human to play each card mechanically; or you might as well object to the very first Turing machine in Turing's paper because he asks us to assume a setup where it's a human (or 'computer' as they were then known as) following the instructions mechanically.
If that isn't at the top of your profile, moving it up might help. Recruiters probably make the decision to contact you early on in the profile (if they are even reading it), and might not make it to the bottom where LinkedIn typically keeps the "Advice for Contacting" section.

Ask HN: Those with a non-technical background, how did you get into tech?
I have been in tech for almost 10 years or so now. I have recently started mentoring women from various backgrounds (publishing, marketing, teaching etc.) who are taking coding bootcamps or self studying.

The concern that comes up again and again is that they are at a disadvantage because they come from a non-technical background. They are worried that a recruiter will take a look at their previous background and deem them unfit for the tech job that they are applying to.

I am having trouble convincing people that there are many who have gone into tech without a computer science degree. I want to ask you HNers, those of you with a non-technical background how did you make the transition? What worked? What didn't? How did you explain the transition to recruiters? Specific details would be great!

Thank you.
In a typical office environment, everybody knows how to work with spreadsheets. They're a common interface and a great way to present and explore tabular data.

But as soon as you put that data into an Excel document and hit Save, it's outdated. Somewhere, somebody in the office has a .xlsx file on their C: drive with the data you need, but that doesn't help you much, does it? Or somebody puts the data into a spreadsheet and emails it to everybody in the office, then a few people make some changes and email again, and now you've got 15 different versions of the same spreadsheet floating around and nobody knows which one is the latest and most truthful.

Or you put that interface on a web page connected to a shared data source and all of those problems disappear.

This is huge because it has potential (hah) to become an ultra high speed photodetector, which have numerous uses in the industry.

Conventional photodetectors are essentially transparent photodiodes, and you have to pass a constant current through them for them to work, which generates heat and is generally a bad side effect.

Antennas on the other hand are completely passive and therefore immune to heat related issues. Also, unlike photodiodes and semiconductor devices, antennas are completely linear. Nonlinearities cause distortion that limit usable bandwidth.

[Note: I have omitted links embedded in the original text.]

The claim is not that CSS is Turing-complete, only that it can be used to represent the rules of a Turing-complete automaton. You still need to provide a physical driver.

>The focus of a lot of brutalist architecture was on functionality – that is, discarding the pomp and frivolity of some older architecture – and making them more focused around the actual functional needs of humans.

I disagree with this, based somewhat on personal experience. While modern architecture did away with ornament in the name of "functionality", but that is a misnomer. Whether a building is functional ought to be judged by it's layout, not by ornament; by ergonomics, not aesthetics.

I live in Brasilia, which I once saw described as "something out of a bad science fiction movie". And I can say there's nothing more annoying than trying to navigate through any public building, as they try to compensate their lack of ornament by being over-sized and obtuse. And though this particular experience is my own, I don't it would be hard to find similar examples of how hard navigating in any modernist design (building, neighborhood, town) can be - another poster mentioned Moscow. It's no wonder that the the period between the 1960s and 1970s is also the nadir of urban planning, with widespread use of single-use zoning and awkward car-centric planning.
