It's the super terse anonymous function syntax. You could use the slightly more verbose version with named instead of positional params or put a named function in there instead.
Apologies for that. The machine ran out of disk space as I wasn't garbage-collecting containers properly.
I think you'd be hard pressed to find someone who doesn't know parser combinators tell you the snippet above is readable.

First of all, what language is this? Well, I know, but you seem to forget that the parser combinator syntax varies per language. What's the equivalent syntax for Java? Or for Python? What about a language that doesn't have a parser combinator library? Or one that has several ones, all slightly different?

I think you're falling prey to the specialist fallacy: you're obviously very comfortable with parser combinators but you've forgotten how long it took you to get there and you now see them as an ultimate solution to all problems without realizing their downsides.
Hopefully it's a future of options: not mandatory to work remotely. I'm with the majority though: I prefer to work from the office most of the time
Word analogies are the simplest problems on an aptitude or iq test, and are really just vocabulary questions in disguise. I think this result shows the limited usefulness of such questions in measuring intelligence rather than showing that the researchers' approach is a way to create AGI.

Are frameworks like this really a thing anymore? Okay, I have to admit I always avoided frameworks that incorporate code generators, so I don't really know.

When using Node.js I always just throw some small modules together and be done with it. It also seems to me, that newer modules encourage this behavior, for example Koa is more modular than Express.
No, the base rate. If you're doing a significance test to detect a rare disease that only occurs in a tiny fraction of people, for example, the majority of statistically significant results you obtain will be false, despite having p < 0.05.

This is a common problem in many fields, and you can use false discovery rate control methods to account for it: http://www.statisticsdonewrong.com/p-value.html

Captain401 (YC S15) | San Francisco, CA | Full Time | ONSITE

We're building the perfect retirement savings plan for startups and small businesses. We’re following in the footsteps of great companies like Gusto (formerly ZenPayroll) and Zenefits in making essential HR administration a snap for businesses large and small, and like Wealthfront, in making sound investing strategy accessible to everyone.

We also just closed a substantial seed round from top investors, but we’re currently just six people. If you’ve been wanting to dive into an early stage startup, this is the perfect time to start talking to us.

We have a lot of open roles, so we'd love to hear from anyone interested to working with us. Specifically, we're looking for Account Managers (entry level welcome!), Growth Marketers, Designers, and JavaScript engineers.

That's a serious breaking change to existing windows programs and can safely be put in the "never going to happen" pile.
+1 thanks for the reference to websitetest.org! I was looking for something that. I tested my major sites and they all tested good (0.1 to 0.3 megabytes) except for one that was 3.5 MB because of a banner image that does not add much to the site. I will fix that!
Decoherence alone doesn't solve the collapse problem.
Do you think that advances in interstellar travel capability will appear out of thin air? We make iterative improvements. The current state of the art will require humans to spend a lot of time in space to travel between planets, so research into how to keep them safe is valuable. Progress on more efficient and safer travel can't come unless we are actively experimenting and innovating.
Telecommuting is a sweet deal, congratulations!

Realistically speaking, no amount of density housing would provide a 3000sqft house for 400k. Maybe a condo in a high rise, possibly skimping on "good school district". Density housing is not the path towards the 3000sqft SFH American dream, sorry.

Why we must save Facebook's Free Basics
Last time I checked no, but it's been supported in FF for quite some time now.
I use Emacs for almost everything, so I'm pretty aware where text editing ends and support processing starts.

That said, consider Microsoft Word. Since forever, it's been doing similar - if not greater - amount of work processing and reprocessing text every keystroke than IDEs contemporary to it. Yet somehow, it is not bloated, it does - and always did - work well on even low-tier machines. Also compare with OpenOffice, which does more-less the same things, only much slower and buggier. If M$ can keep Word functional and performant, I'm pretty sure Eclipse and IntelliJ could be made fast as well.

CloudFlare https://www.cloudflare.com/ | San Francisco, CA; London, UK; Singapore, SG | VISA, ONSITE

CloudFlare is building a better Internet -- performance and security optimization at the edge. Our long term goal is to give every site the same performance, security, and reliability that major sites like Google and Facebook accomplish, without any specialized network hardware or complicated administration. We enhance over 2 million sites,
including this one. We're hiring for a variety of roles -- started 2015 at 128, ended around 220, doubling again in 2016. This is a perfect time to join -- product market fit is established, but there's a lot of great engineering, product, sales, and support work to be done. We've publicly said we're profitable and on track for long term independent success.

You may wish to check out our blog to see the kinds of engineering work we do. (https://blog.cloudflare.com/).
https://www.cloudflare.com/join-our-team has a listing of positions.

We're always hiring for operations/SRE, sales, general systems engineering (mostly in Go, nginx, and network, as well as DNS at scale), and web development.

Specific roles we're keen to hire include:

0) Great operations/SRE staff: operating our system at scale (65+ datacenters around the world, 24x7 coverage, millions of sites) requires highly competent, hard-working, and communicative engineers.

1) Billing engineer -- someone to take the lead as we build a new billing system. Also hiring a billing PM. We're using a great YC company's billing product.

2) Great front-end engineers -- building new UI/UX to expose controls and data to customers is an increasing portion of what we do. Our current front-end stack is Backbone + Marionette with Browserify and Sass. Our new projects are using React + Redux + Babel + css-modules, and generally adopting Higher Order Components. We're also starting the process of re-imagining our main WWW Front-end stack with a migration to Redux.

3) Systems Engineer -- looking for people to help serve even more traffic, build infrastructure for security and robustness, and contribute back to open source projects. We make extensive use of nginx, lua/luajit, and ssl-at-scale.

4) "Prototyping engineers" -- people who want to prototype things in go (backend) through js frontend. We're adding a lot of new products in 2016, and people who love building the first prototype and pilot versions of these products make everything faster.

After maybe three years of experience with cmake I must admit its scripting language is just disgusting. Makefile provided a nice, well thought out, simple DSL, with just three concepts: targets, dependencies and actions, and while it didn't provide enough support for handling multiple compiler toolchains, etc. I think replacing it with the cmake shell like 'scripting language', sporting one data structure (string; lists are really just semicolon separated strings...), is an example of very, very bad engineering.

What I wonder about most is how we are going to do the certification of the code. Given that the code is probably far too difficult to analyze manually, I assume that certification will mostly be a matter of letting the car drive for X miles and seeing if it doesn't crash.

The problem that arises then is that after every tiny update, do we have to go through the complete certification process again? It is not possible to simply record and replay sensor information, since every change in behavior may result in a change in the environment, and you cannot predict the environment.

For a first lamguage I think kids should use something instantly rewarding. Something that lets you write gui:s or hack minecraft etc. It should be something that lets you accomplish things quickly but still teaches good practices.

If you are a first year CS student it's different. Then you need a few langs - One functional, one OO, one low level, at least.

I've interviewed a couple of candidates who mentioned seeing my job posting on HN. One candidate received an offer and the other did not.
(STILL NOT AN ACCOUNTANT). I believe the cap is not on the gift -- it's on the giver and what they have to file. There is no tax until gifts go over ~5 million.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gift_tax_in_the_United_States

There are two levels of exemption from the gift tax. First, gifts of up to the annual exclusion ($14,000 per recipient in 2015) incur no tax or filing requirement. By splitting their gifts, married couples can give up to twice this amount tax-free. Note that each giver and recipient pair has their own unique annual exclusion; a giver can give to any number of recipients and the exclusion is not affected by other gifts that recipient may have received from others.

Second, gifts in excess of the annual exclusion may still be tax-free up to the lifetime estate basic exclusion amount ($5,340,000 in 2014, $5,430,000 in 2015), although for estates over that amount such gifts might increase estate taxes. Taxpayers that expect to have a taxable estate may sometimes prefer to pay gift taxes as they occur, rather than saving them up as part of the estate.

For something to be a gift, the giver can have no consideration

https://www.irs.gov/Businesses/Small-Businesses-&-Self-Emplo...

What is considered a gift?

Any transfer to an individual, either directly or indirectly, where full consideration (measured in money or money's worth) is not received in return.

The difference is on the client-to-server communication, since it's a one-way stream. So you're right in saying it's just as realtime when getting results from the server, but there's added latency to each request being made from the client. My point is that this latency is probably negligible for most "realtime" applications. The benefit to all this is that you're not re-inventing protocols on top of a low-level transport, and both front- and backend becomes significantly simpler (and thus more cost effective) to implement.
