I disagree with your POV.I would rather say that everyone likes a change.Most of the programmers have very active lifestyle where they pursue physical labour based hobbies.To bring in an age-old platitude , "Everything is good in moderation" .You have extremes like a person who decided to leave programming to become a farmer[1].
And several other examples like this exist.What you need to understand is the satisfaction which comes from making things.
I love programming solely because of my ability to create. Infact I feel that it is the ability to create that would drive any job.A skilled artisan pursues his interest because of the satisfaction he obtains from his creations.The same goes for us programmers.
It comes down to the fact of skilled labour possessed by you.And if you really think that blue collar workers earn less,then you are quite mistaken[2].

TLDR; its the passion for creation which drives any job.As a programmer having things setup in hours or weeks and then seeing your product being used by a percentage of the 3 billion people[3] who use the www.It brings a hell load of satisfaction in me.

It's one thing to put multiple people on the same task or question and have a focused, active collaboration. This would include things like brainstorming and pair programming.

It's another thing to give people their own tasks but put them in an environment of ambient chatter and real time notifications. This would include things like open floor plans and Slack. (I'm not arguing that these things are bad, just that they're not genuine collaboration.)

It's pretty easy to make an office look and feel like a collaborative space. It's quite a bit harder to find a few tasks that would benefit from real collaboration and invest double or triple the "hourly rate" for that one thing. Then again, maybe it's totally worth the cost?
I had been freelancing on and off for years, so I understood how those relationships worked. I started off freelancing on my own, then brought on a part time contractor to help take on some of the extra worked and scaled up from there. Now I have multiple contractors working all the time. I did the jump while also moving into the "nomadic" lifestyle, backpacking around se asia while building everything up, which kept expenses way lower than my nyc rent.

C is great. I wouldn't recommend starting programming in C, though. At least not with the standard exercises you see. Get user input, read a file, do this do that with it.

Why? the C standard library is full of gotchas and tricks and goofy shit that makes it unsuitable for new programmers. The comp.lang.c FAQ should be standard reading material for anyone taking a C class. Look at all the posts on StackOverflow about the stdio functions 'not working right' and asking how to do menial things like collect keypresses.

C works well as a first language if you teach it like assembly (use of which as a teaching language is another debate): flip some bits and do some loops. But not for collecting user input/output. Half of your students are going to get stuck trying to collect a list of names from the user, before they even get a chance to get stuck trying to sort the list.
I enrolled in my university the same year they switched from teaching C to teaching Java in the CS curriculum. As someone that learned C++ in high school I was less than enthusiastic about this change.

But what surprised me more was that the courses became more institutionalized. Professors were bettering you for a cushy career as an employee at a bank or large corporation instead of showing you how to use the computer to solve a dizzying amount of technical, social and and financial problems. I could understand a technical college emphasizing a safe, risk-free entry into a nice career but I expected better from a university.
I'm a full-time employee. Managers and government benefits are a pretty big part of it. Work hours are very flexible (some roll in at 6am, others 10am), lengthy vacationable time, etc. Like morga3sm said, we want to do things correctly.

It has its downsides of course: getting a TS security clearance can be stressful, but that goes away afterwards; not being able to tell your SO what you do other than high-level stuff; career advancement and progression can be a long process and you basically know where your salary is going to go when you first start (because it is standardized); and so on.

> So is Apple, what has it brought to iDevices?

Who knows. Being part of the working group might mean they are considering it. Or may be not. MS though lets everyone know now that they don't care (by not being part of the group).

> So how are they again different from MS?

They are pretty similar in many (bad) ways, including the issue of lock-in. Apple is probably even worse these days.

Not sure why I'm being downvoted here. In the USA, deliberately using counterfeit trademarks is a crime, not just a tort (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trademark_Counterfeiting_Act_o... ). The standard for being found guilty of a crime is "beyond reasonable doubt", not just "preponderance of the evidence" as it would be for a tort. There is no way to electronically establish counterfeiting has occurred beyond reasonable doubt, because the completely legal scenario I described is electronically indistinguishable. It's not acceptable to go accusing people of crimes when you know you can't meet that standard of proof.

EDIT: As a practical example, consider the case of I2C. This is a proprietary NXP protocol, and you have to pay to get slave addresses. So instead people use "Two Wire Interface", which is not I2C but is electronically indistinguishable. The only way to detect counterfeit use of I2C is looking at the packaging/documentation.

That's assuming a technological civilization's natural progression is towards space travel, which may or may not be true. The Aztecs were way "behind" when explorers first discovered them, but were doing pretty fine.
This sounds like a very likely scenario... sad but true.

You want the author to do more than just minimal work. The minimal work was the two weeks notice. "I stopped the service as planned, on November 15th, after a two weeks notice." They had a chance to patch and didn't take advantage of it.

If a company is using an external business-critical API and isn't bothering to pay enough attention to it that they see and respond to a two week shutdown notice, nothing is going to make them transition except a hard shutdown. And the service provider's request, to redirect the author's domain to their own endpoint, is obviously a non-starter. Maybe they could have offered to pay the growing hosting bills instead.
Huh, the website won't show you any content if you're blocking cookie request notifications. You need to disable your adblock / cookie notification remover to be able to allow the site to use cookies, and only then will it show you the article.

what about sandstorm.io, rocket chat (and there are more apps which may fit) ?
My read on pushing collaboration is that it's a hedge against doing the wrong thing. In startups (say, <100 people and in grow-or-die mode), I think you have to focus on producing revenue on a 3-9 month timeframe. If you have a bunch of people working on their own, a lot of them will do things that are valuable, but won't show value to the company for 2-5 years. That not really OK, unless everybody agrees it's OK.

So, everybody collaborates constantly, so when you do something like run a pen-test before you have a customer with a CISO, there's agreement that it's OK to do it early. Otherwise, you might end up with a bunch of interesting work that doesn't have any coherence, and with only 25 people, that's not enough to sustain a company.

Of course, if everybody is working on the right things, and you have manager drive-bys via Slack/email/daily standups 3 times a day, that's a separate issue. It's the fear of working on the wrong thing that's motivating that pattern.

I take it you've never seen a newspaper "bullpen", or a clark's office. :) It comes down to class. Many professions that were once afforded private accommodation are now being downclassed. It's also easier to scale up and down by moving what are essentially picnic tables.
It would be cool if you could expand on this. Do you live in one of these places?

I'm also wondering when there's going to be a sea change. London is full of people in their 20s spending ~50% of their income on rent, and pretty much just breaking even overall.

I feel like people are going to get sick of this eventually. Either people will leave the most expensive cities, or new ways of "hacking" housing will emerge.
Everything at the function level that isn't `let` is an expression. And that `let` is not an expression is just an aspect of Rust that reduces boilerplate and rightward drift; the block containing those three statements in your example is still an expression which evaluates to the same thing as the Haskell below.

The original commenter seems to mean 'purely functional' rather than 'expression based'. OCaml uses `let in`, but still has side effects.
Machine Learning Engineer at Mixpanel: Build the Future of Predictive Analytics
Hey HN,

No boring /jobs URL needed here, just a message:

I run the Machine Learning team within Mixpanel Engineering. We are a small but impactful team within the company. We envision and then build ways to leverage ML technologies into product features that help our customers understand their data, and their users, better, and without any technical expertise on their end. Our first release was a product which predicts which of your users are likely or unlikely to convert, based on whatever you consider to be conversion.

This role is a fun and challenging mix of ML research (the problems we want to solve do not have known solutions, yet) with production engineering (we design, build, and maintain our own production services). This is an ideal role for somebody who is interested in both areas, and has expertise in at least one of them.

Please contact me directly at jenny@mixpanel.com with your resume if you are interested.

Cheers, Jenny Finkel

Note: this role is based out of our headquarters in San Francisco

> C has immense cultural value. Lots and lots of extant source code, important source code

Yes, exactly! In my opinion, C for a programmer or computer scientist is like Latin for a medieval scholar. You don’t need to speak it fluently, but it’s good to know enough to read other people’s works and understand how concepts are expressed.

In practical terms, I think that almost any programmer can benefit from reading K&R and doing the exercises in it, even if they never go on to write “real” programs in C. The book is very short and readable, and finishing it is a much tinier task than learning the standard libraries and toolchain options and best practices and all the other stuff you need to be productive writing production-quality code.
