Front-end lead here, building large desktop apps for my company's internal use.

I've never had a web-app that failed due to performance. I can't recall any that ever have, except Facebooks' attempt to use HTML on mobile.

UI performance has little to do with algorithms, and only occasionally requires opening the profiler to hit 60fps with some tweaks to bone-headed nested loops. Or maybe reconsider your use of Angular!

Front-end apps fail because long-lived mutable state is a powerful engine of complexity, and algorithms do not solve complexity. I am constantly telling my team (CS back-enders prepare yourself!) to ignore performance concerns. O-whatever has zero-impact on delivering simple, extensible, bug-free web apps that please its users.

But admittedly, crafting good software isn't as objectively clear as implementing a mathematical function that makes your server code perform. The proliferation of front-end frameworks and compile-to-js languages indicates that writing FE software that works remains a far greater challenge than writing FE software that hums.

To that point, maintaining a popular github repo for a library or app that demonstrates your ability to write, maintain, and extend FE software is still the best sign that you know what you're doing, and that you like what you're doing. Conversely, knowing a lot of algorithms as a FE candidate tells me nothing about whether your first PR will be your last.

On a happy note, Netflix didn't ask me a single question regarding algorithms! Their interview's focus on OOP made sense, even if it didn't fit with my own focus on ClojureScript and FP.
I'm right there with you on SpaceX and timelines (my recent post history here includes trying to convince folks that just because they landed a stage doesn't mean cheap and easy rocket reuse is right around the corner). In this case however, my gut feeling is that they're a lot deeper into the development cycle of this project and they feel pretty confident about the 2018 timeframe.
The main problem with this bit is that is reveals that the authors (and editors, if they bothered) are completely financially illiterate.

We do not tax "wealth" in the US; we tax net income. This fundamental flub -- in an article ostensibly about money (!) -- tells me we can't take any of the numbers or financial mechanics it presents seriously.

Great summary. I especially like your point about the programmers migrating to systems programming having a different mindset than an older person like me, who started with assembly. Thanks for that.

Not sure if by 'disagree with this' you mean the whole piece, or just the quoted sentence. Addressing the obvious quoted sentence:

Don't get me wrong, I like C. I am currently writing a Lisp in C, playing with ImGui and Nuklear immediate-mode GUI kits. That is why I used the word 'needed' vs. something like 'are majorly used'. C pulled me from my Vic-20 6502 assembly language days (I lie, I had moved to Basic before C!). When I program in a higher-level language (Lisp/Scheme, Python, Julia), I find I am dealing with what I actually want to get done, and in the end my programs are not AAA games, or large deep learning neural networks, so they are plenty fast for my needs. I start out clearly with an objective in C, but usually get mired in some C-specific, non-goal-related task, whether I need to refresh my knowledge of pointers, or platform-specific idiosyncrasies. I certainly would choose C over Java any day, or move to another higher-level language. I think Java's VM is a fantastic piece of work, and Java syntax is very C-like, but I'd rather not use it. I use a lot of programs written it though! I prefer Lisp/Scheme, and compiled SBCL is fast. And now with the opensourcing of Chez Scheme, I will be busy this next week. The Spring 2016 Lisp Game Jam is starting in about 24 hours [1].

Hiring IS in fact broken, dude. Did you read his whole piece? Its not just pulling questions off of hacker rank or writing full data structure implementation from scratch at a white board while being time or whatever. The author also mentions the culture of unprofessional recruiters and interviewers who show no interest in the candidate or selling him on the job(yes It's a two way street.) If someone takes time out of their day to talk to you or come to your office, you owe them a little professional courtesy and respect. I think lots of these companies have no idea how poorly some people are representing them and their company during the interview/recruiting process. And these aren't just early stage startups that might not know any better, many of these are Twitters, Netflex et al as well. So yeah its broken.

A wealth tax is inherently limited; for example, you can't tax 100% of wealth-- that would be pure confiscation.

However, a land value tax can scale up to 100%, because you're taxing rent, and not wealth that is bought/created by any individual.

An estate that has its rent taxed 100% will eventually dissolve, unless it's constantly generating new value aside from rent (which is in general not the case).

CoreOS Aims to Bring OpenStack to Kubernetes with Stackanetes
I'm guessing you are just trolling, but still going to address this.

Every time an american agency finds a vulnerability they are faced with a choice:
- Use it, possibly against foreign targets
- Share it with american vendors to make the country and its businesses safer

It should be clear that in most cases the value of protecting american interest is vastly more valuable than attacking foreign interests.

It's like Clinton lobbying cruise missiles at Afghanistan, whatever they destroyed was worth a lot less than the missile itself. If for example Apple and Google can be protected that is probably worth a lot more than whatever can be gained by using this offensively.

And note that every time a cyber weapon is used there is a large risk that the entity being attacked can learn how the attack worked and use this back at your interests.

I hope that the security community reciprocates: if the FBI won't disclose security flaws to the community, then neither should the security community give the FBI any special privilege or notice in disclosing flaws in FBI software.

Sounds like you get it! Honestly, what I really want to see is long strings of binary projected as 2d or 3d abstractions from the raw binary, by a variety of means. I really wanted to account for leading up to this, these were also considerations for the binary format. The idea is to test a variety of ways that 1d binary can be replotted in 2d or 3d in a virtual space, then examine the 2d or 3d space to see what sort of weird computations it does! It might be possible to isolate groups of binary that interact and do specific things. The idea is to emulate a computational space that does not decay! I'm inspired by the idea that computers don't have to work by exactly the same principles we have always used.

Basically, I want to see every computer become a complex transistor.

I suggest that you offer at least two tiers (personal/education and corporate). You can keep the personal tier low to drive adoption as part of your growth strategy and price your corporate license at $200-$600 per person per year. I have never been in a situation where there was even a need to discuss the cost of a tool at those price points. If it will increase productivity, just buy it.

Lastly, consider an enterprise or site option for users with more than X licenses.

That does not refute my point above. Section 309 only applies to incidentally acquired communication that is collected via the routes mentioned above. It does not allow the NSA to collect traffic between domestic endpoints just because it is encrypted.
I don't see that response as dodging anything. He did answer the question - he think that chatting is a decent way for newbies to learn.

You or I may not fully agree, but this is subjective. And it's an answer, even if it might not satisfy you!
Oops, his ballpark was $50 million. I obviously have no idea how much things cost.

Still, I think many of the key ideas behind Kraken are out there and not patented. Zstd and lzfse already use ANS variants, for instance. But they're targeting different speed/compression tradeoffs, and aren't implemented as well as Kraken.
SpaceX Says It Plans to Send a Probe to Mars
That does sound like an incredible start. I fear that for the kinds of applications we're talking about speed could be an issue. For instance, if the system has to respond to events it can't control, queues of events can build up or things that are likely to be synchronized might not be etc. I feel like in many situations, you'd want to run at full speed for official tests though early testing could use an emulator. Of course, if you're emulating a much slower hardware as you mentioned, the test is more realistic. ;)

If you're careful about hiring and put in place the right incentives, then there doesn't have to be much dead weight.

Ok - re #2 - look at what % of political movements succeeded despite most of their leaders being killed. I'd say that since majority of political movements succeed with live leaders, it must mean that the ones whose leaders were killed in time, did not succeed.

Calling failed builds "damage" is rather overstating it. If building a specific package fails, OPAM continues with as many other packages as it can. Arguably that's not even "transactional" in the atomic sense, but the behavior is pretty much what you said.

Then it gives you the error, and gives you a command to roll back everything to the previous state -- something I cannot do with eg, apt, as far as I know. But that's a bit apples and oranges -- apt, yum, pacman, etc are all binary package managers, with a different set of tradeoffs.

Apply HN: Mental Health Medication Self-Assesment App
Selection of medication used in mental health treatment is often a complicated process of trial and error. A prescriber will begin with an educated guess for the most effective treatment for a given patient and the patient begins a period of medication evaluation to determine if if the right ratio of efficacy and side-effects are met; if not, the process is repeated.

Sometimes during this process, patients will only meet with prescribers for 30-minutes once a month providing a narrow window for observation. Patients are given the difficult question of answering if they feel the medication "is working". There are two main challenges to this evaluation:

1. In a study of 1, it is very difficult to control for other factors that effect mood or the effectiveness of the medication (e.g. sleep, diet, dosage timing, external life events)

2. The nature of these medications could change perception, so it is sometimes difficult for a patient to self-evaluate how their mood one day compared to the past. A patient may have one feeling about the effectiveness of their medication and another a week later when visiting their doctor.

I would like to build an app that acts as a friend during this difficult evaluation: regularly asking questions about sleep, diet, stress, mood, and general impressions of the medication. The patient and doctor could use the data from this app together to discuss a more complete picture of the patient's recent mood than may be revealed in a discussion on any one particular day.

With the correct privacy controls in place, this app could provide a source of research data for studies to help discover why some medications work better for certain patients.

I would like this to be a tool to help people and create greater efficiency in this are of mental health and would like to make it available to all patients. I am considering if a non-profit would be a better path than attaching a business model to this.
> This means we never know where a function is being called from.

Not really. Chrome dev tools has an "async" option which allows the stack trace to follow through async calls. You will see the async caller instead of the async execution mechanism in the stack. Further, you can black-box frameworks so you only see your code.

> The danger I see with promises is they can be used incorrectly.

The real danger of promises is the different implementations that existed beforehand. For instance, jQuery promises weren't standards-compliant. Their implementation of `then` (which came from `pipe`) wasn't the same as the native one. Getting used to one, you'll easily write wrong code for the other.

> generators will provide more fine-grained control.

Depends. It's a foreign concept in JS, making it harder to follow as opposed to promises which are nothing more than stateful objects. Also, one's mental model will change with generators. One has to look out for that tiny `*` to know the code is "generator friendly".
