This isn't exactly anything new and leaves off what happens once the artists/artisans finish making the neighborhood attractive to more development.

Actually, it's exactly what happened to Dumbo in Brooklyn through the late 80s and 90s. Two Trees bought up most of the neighborhood for $12 million, gave free space to artists and performance venues like St. Ann's Warehouse for 9 years, and shortened leasing arrangements to 2-4 years in order to attract startups and small shops that couldn't sign 10 year leases.

Once they moved in enough people to make the neighborhood desirable they started developing luxury units. David Walentas went from hearing about Dumbo from an artist at a party to becoming a billionaire with Two Trees.

What I'd really like to hear is how this revitalization can include the artists that kicked it off. I have friends that grew up in Dumbo throughout this process, kids of artists that moved in in the 80s, and they've long since been evicted from their homes to make way for condos costing $1000/sq ft.
Show HN: Links – easy shortcuts for developers
Thanks for the feedback :)

One challenge of writing an article for a large audience is trying to keep things brief. Since I wasn't really writing about the investor experience - I was writing about tech having a blind spot for the way a giant part of America lives - I didn't want to spend too much time on the investor anecdote.

A more detailed way to explain it would have been that the investor absolutely "got what we did" - it really isn't that complicated.

But at the same time, he didn't "GET IT" - he didn't grasp the massive opportunity in front of us (millions of brick-and-mortar retail locations with no HR technology in place, 75 million hourly workers having to put up with terrible online applications, etc), or why what we've built is so useful for our specific market - and I think that's reflective of a larger blind spot in technology for this slice of the world.
Lodestar-Ractive a light, strong but simple JavaScript framework
In some ways, the recent HTML specs allows the dev to go back to that old-school handwriting.

For example, instead of bringing in a JS framework, you could now just replace the input type with "date", and a modern browser would show the date picker.
Is that link right? You linked to a bug about http client support for Expect: 100-continue, and it looks like a fix was merged in October: https://github.com/golang/go/commit/dab143c8820151538fea908e...

Or are there still problems that aren't mentioned in that issue?
I have no degree. I attended exactly two of the three semesters of college for which I paid. I make a very nice living running servers and writing code at my company. Before this, I have worked in construction and as the guy under your car in one of those quick oil change places. I've been an outboard mechanic. The world owed me nothing. I have made my own way and earned everything that I've gotten. I respect hard work and I understand that I will sometimes fail. I learn something from every experience.

I'm sorry but your attitude here that the world owes you _anything_ just goes to further prove my point. Life is not fair. It never has been and never will be. You can sit there feeling sorry for yourself because the world treated you unfairly...for which will get you absolutely nothing...or you can go out there and do whatever you need to do in order to make it through this day so you can try for a better day tomorrow. The onus is on you and not the world. You want something better then show the world that you will work for it.

Two things come to mind for me in this:

1. The "younger generation" is going to have to learn to take responsibility for their failures as well as successes. There seems to be a real problem with the former.

2. To use the words my father repeated to me almost daily during my teenage years when we worked together: "If you aren't going to give it 120% in whatever you do, don't even bother getting out of bed."
The degree issue is very stick for some places and not stick for others, but overall I think it is less of an issue than in the last 15 years.

The best thing you did for yourself was learning the HTML, CSS, etc that you did. That is going to get your resume farther, faster, even without a degree. Having been on hiring committees for organizations looking for new copyrighters, etc, there is such a focus on web that it is always a plus to see, even if there are other developers doing the heavy lifting.

Well, then you have to make it so that new instances automatically contain your packet filter. You have to think outside what the current implementation easily supports, which obviously reflects the limitations of the current network setup, and think about what would be possible if those limitations didn't exist. And it's obviously technically possible to automatically deploy the same packet filter to each VM that gets added to your network range ...

Also, as I said, the point is not that a central firewall cannot ever be a good solution--but with the current limitations, you have no other choice even when it doesn't really make much sense.

> I have no idea what you mean by JavaScript being "easier" to learn than C++. My experience has been the exact opposite.

You are a tiny minority in this. I've taught C++ and JS and have never once seen JS be harder to pick up.

> On the other hand, in JavaScript I have never found anything even remotely close to methodological guidance for writing programs.

The #1 selling JS book is (was) literally called "JavaScript: The Good Parts". It teaches "methodological guidance" for writing JavaScript programs. Just as modern C++ books teach the "good parts" of C++.

> JavaScript seems to make sense of anything as long as it is syntactically valid - a very low bar.

That's (a) not true, with the static resolution semantics in modules; (b) to the extent that it is true is mostly a criticism of dynamic typing, which has a lot of advantages and is not a criticism of JavaScript.

> JavaScript's ability to run in the browser is, as !far as I can tell, its only advantage over C++.

Memory safety? GC? A module system (as compared to #include)? Dynamic typing? This is silly.

(NB: I also think C++ has a lot of advantages over JS for certain domains. I'm a language pluralist.)
I'd recommend anyone looking for their first job out of university to consider strongly a job at a supercorp. Starting a start up will be much easier with a network of professionals, a pile of personal savings, and it is way easier to go from supercorp to startup than vice versa.
I agree, but a year's a bit tight. You may want to give yourself an option of another 6-12 months, if your job is still rotating through things and changing enough that you're not pigeonholed yet. I'm not sure I could put into words why, but I'd look much more favorably on two years rather than one if I was looking at your future resume.

Flip side, I'd also add an option at months three and six to ask myself whether I should just get out now and basically just not put it on my resume in the future. Interesting tech is interesting, but if the startup has pathological personnel or psychological problems, a year may be too long. I would suggest sticking out anything other than outright abuse for at least 3 months, though, since you do want to account for the fact that, ahem, a real job is not school and there are certain different expectations, regardless of where you work.
> Keep in mind that the situation she recalls, the one with the guy that apologizes to her for cussing, is perhaps not the sort of sexism you would want to try and get rid of.

IME, I would respectfully disagree. I'm not a woman, and I'm sure you can find some for which this is true and some for which it is untrue, but....

My perception is that women want to be "one of the guys" just as much as guys do. If you want to censor yourself around "polite company", by all means, I think there's nothing wrong with that. But if you want to censor yourself because there's a woman around, that's still sexism, although a more polite, accepted form of sexism.

There is an excellent Norwegian documentary, Hjernevask, that explores this question and many others like it. The premise is set up in the first couple minutes of the first episode: why is it that in one of the most gender equal countries in the world that women and men still flocked to traditional jobs? It had such an impact that the government decided to shut down their Gender Studies Institute.

But you won't see these kinds of things discussed on HN. I'll be surprised if I don't get any ad hominems lazily labeling me as a redpiller.
The same happens in Brazil (and Venezuela). It's exactly how Lula, Rousseff and Chavez were elected.
When it comes to compensation I think it's pretty clear that Big Companies win. You don't even need to point to Google, Facebook, etc to make this point.

However, his argument becomes truly hand-wavey and spurious when it comes to the interesting work part. Of course some of the most interesting tech papers are coming out of Google, that doesn't mean anything for the average Google employee. Also, in his, argument, he goes from "here's what the average can expect for compensation" to, "you need leverage to work on interesting things at big companies...get some".

Of course not all start ups provide interesting work, but I think the dice roll is solidly in the camp of start ups for interesting work against the Big Cos, whose interesting work dice roll, I would guess, is similar to the start up comp dice roll. Unless rebuilding a bog standard UI framework is your thing.

I really enjoyed the article but I hope that the conclusion is that it's now possible to live in a bubble (not meant pejoratively) where you don't experience sexism.

Being able to live in that bubble is probably dependent on class, status, confidence and certain personality traits; but it is possible and that's great!

It is really important though to realize that it is a bubble and to be mindful of where it ends and what happens when you hit the edges of the bubble.

I went about it the opposite way, and can definitely recommend that as well: big company first, then small. The big company experience shows you a ton of things, like how to interview, build, and deploy at scale. The small company can benefit from your ability to bring order to chaos, develop tools which are obvious in any big company but strangely missing from every small one, and more.

Maybe it doesn't matter which one you start with, but you should give both a try at some point.

Some links are pages and some links are downloads (zip, exe, dmg), that's why in settings, site allows you to open links in a new tab or current tab. The reason for this is that some websites don't have dynamic links to download latest versions. (`example.com/download_latest_win`)

I think this is an exaggeration. People that select to be in positions of power are not always the kind of people who can be trusted to always execute that power honestly.

The difference in degree of corruption in a country is roughly the same thing as the trustability of people in positions of power.

It isn't necessarily an either/or proposition. Between remote offices, remote work, or local startups, you can live in $NOT_SV and pick certain elements of the SV lifestyle that you may appreciate. You don't get full unrestrained choice, but, well, you never do anyhow, so shrug. Tech workers can still have it better than most could even dream of.

That's not what I said. What I said was that JavaScript would continue to be the most important client-side language on the Web. It's great that Web Assembly gives developers alternatives, and I hope it gets used to write games and to accelerate performance-critical parts of apps. I also hope that it allows people who don't want to code front-end logic in JS to deploy alternatives--I'm not even passing judgment on whether you should use JS (although I think choosing C++ over JS for high-level front-end app logic is a very poor decision). I'm just nearly certain most code will continue to be written in JS.
Yes, but after the data has changed, I don't want to waste time sending data in the snapshot that is no longer in the live data. I'd rather just carry on from where it is now. My current system does this just fine.

It doesn't make someone a better person, but it does make someone a well-rounded person and I think there's ample evidence to support that well-rounded people often become better employees. If university admissions were purely exam-based, the quality of US universities would instantly decrease, as would their international appeal.
There's a gaping hole in your argument where you don't acknowledge that a student has any responsibility.

Example situations where the low grade is absolutely the student's fault:

- The student doesn't go to class
- The student falls asleep in class or otherwise doesn't pay attention
- The student doesn't understand a part of the course and doesn't do anything to clear up their understanding (you can't honestly expect a single explanation to give all (often) 150+ students 100% clarity) by emailing or speaking to staff
- The student disrupts the rest of the class and is removed from it
- The student doesn't turn in papers for avoidable reasons

It's similar to a doctor. If you go to a doctor and don't follow instructions or give them correct information, they can't do their job and fix you. It's not their fault if you don't take the drugs they prescribe you.
While I can't say for sure, you probably did have incorrect papers.

"Indeed, the name Thomas Jefferson Beale suggests an inside joke. Thomas Jefferson was, of course, the author of the Declaration of Independence, the very document Ward claimed to have stumbled upon "by accident" (in his words) as the key to the cipher. The name Beale suggests Edward Fitzgerald Beale, who became famous when he crossed what was then Mexican territory in disguise to transport the first samples of California gold from the west to the east, 37 years before Ward's book."

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Fitzgerald_Beale

"In the late 1850s, Beale surveyed and built Beale's Wagon Road, which many settlers used to move to the West, and which became part of Route 66 and the route for the Transcontinental railroad."

Sounds like today naming the author of the code "Michael Jackson Gates" and giving for the second key the lyrics of "Beat it"?

But the wish for treasure was blinder. Skeptoid concludes:

"After (the pamphlet's) publication, Ward tried to downplay the tale, claiming that all remaining copies of the pamphlet had been destroyed in a print shop fire, despite researchers finding no newspaper records of any such fire. Only the first few pamphlets ever got out, and once they did, it appears that Ward realized he'd created a monster with a greater effect than he'd anticipated. Ward had been friends with the Buford and Morriss families, and it's perhaps most probable that the unexpected attention changed his mind about promoting his fictional story at the expense of his friends."

But the wish is warmed up again and again.

From Justice Robert's majority opinion of Riley v California:

Our cases have recognized that the Fourth Amendment was the founding
generation’s response to the reviled “general warrants” and “writs
of assistance” of the colonial era, which allowed British officers
to rummage through homes in an unrestrained search for evidence of
criminal activity. Opposition to such searches was in fact one of the
driving forces behind the Revolution itself. In 1761, the patriot
James Otis delivered a speech in Boston denouncing the use of writs
of assistance. A young John Adams was there, and he would later write
that “[e]very man of a crowded audience appeared to me to go away,
as I did, ready to take arms against writs of assistance.” [...]
According to Adams, Otis’s speech was “the first scene of the first
act of opposition to the arbitrary claims of Great Britain. Then and
there the child Independence was born.”

Remote work is one of those Roman ideas that I just can't bring myself to be interested enough in to try. Sit at home all day with nobody but the cat for company while everyone else is at work / school? Give me a regular desk and let me see my coworkers in person every day.

Besides, from what I've gathered from the job postings here, SV startups mostly don't hire remote workers. You're expected to move to Rome.

Local startups offer substandard salaries, the very real proposition that your company will run out of money, and inevitable reticence on the part of the founders to clue you in as to how the company is really doing. No thanks.
