>>Most other languages are "dead ends", because code written in them is not easily reusable from other languages.

FFI isn't the only way to be reusable from another language though. Many interpreted languages are easy to embed into C, C++, and often other languages.
Interesting. The article reads a bit like bro-science but there are plenty of references to scientific studies... I'll be curious to see whether 'cold therapy' starts appearing as a buzz word in weight loss treatments.

I'm not talking about /all. I'm talking about how, for example, on the C++ subreddit some lefties lost their shit and ruined a bunch of discussions because some guy innocently mentioned as an aside using the King James Bible as a text corpus for algorithm testing and interview questions. Only a crazy person would care that this guy mentioned using the KJB, but apparently a fifth of the people there are crazy. Which is weird because a lot of the specific crazies are otherwise very smart and interesting people. But they just couldn't let it slide. This is the totalitarian nature of the left.
Thanks for the AutoMicroFarm shout-out. We do have plans for software, but that's stage three, when we're trying to achieve stage one.

Specifically, here are the stages we have in mind:

Stage One: Dumb hardware, such as the mushroom media mentioned in the Apply HN

Stage Two: Smart hardware (sensors)

Stage Three: Software (control and communication)

Stage Four: Services and Marketplaces

sorry if that came off harsh, but that is actually the feedback, and it's valid. whether or not javascript/node is better or worse than python, it's pretty clear that bringing a python style approach to nodejs is going to cause problems, especially with error handling and async stuff.
I took a Chicago-NYC train once, and the crew was happy that it was "only" 4 hours late. IIRC, the physical rails are owned by freight lines, so freight gets a higher priority at crossings.

Email: scott at adie.io

I'm Scott, I've been working in the medical device field for a few years now but looking to potentially shift into some sort of full stack / backend / android position. Python is what I'm most proficient in and what I've used to build out my web apps, but I love exploring new technologies and languages. I have an Android application that has been a success and sees over 2000 monthly active users. It's given me a chance to be customer facing and coordinate with beta testers and customer support.

I'm willing to learn whatever technology is right for the job, simply because I love learning and want to find a place that encourages that. Ideally I'm looking for somewhere local to me or a remote position.

If you're reading this and you want to know more, have any questions, or just want to say hi, feel free to send me an email. I'll definitely get back to you!
Well, no-one would surrender to the Dread Pirate Craig.

You might try reading the linked study, which answers the question of how RMR data were collected (hint: it's accurate). Actually, this entire site would benefit from actually reading the paper.
Unfortunately, we don't offer any kind of internships at the moment :(
> When they traced everything, it was two orders of magnitude slower.
> At 100k event/s (quite possible in the situations x-ray is used), the app would be about 60% slower. For just a simple probe, not full on tracing.

I think you've misunderstood the post. The actual time reported in that post is 600 ns per probe, with sanity checks reporting as much as 2000ns, which he concluded was in the same ballpark.

He measured that by observing a program that just calls two functions in a tight loop, one of which is strlen() on a dozen-character string. That's basically the worst possible case for any function call tracing system -- I don't think it's fair to say that's "a simple probe, not full on tracing".

The "60%" slower conclusion is only by construction: if you have N events per second, and the framework adds overhead of T nanoseconds per probe, then you can pick N such that the tracing framework adds whatever percentage overhead you like. In this case, Brendan picked N=100K and came up with 60% overhead for that case, but I think there's a math error in there. For that calculation, he assumes a 6us probe time instead of 600ns. I think the overhead would be 6% for 100,000 events, not 60%.
No. If Weight is Satoshi, he knows who Satoshi is, so those are not orthogonal. Basically, the first dimension has four discrete states, while the second has two.
Clearly this was a pod of dolphin managers.
While that's a technically accurate name (in much the same way an "oleophobic" coating can help keep oil off lenses), I don't think you'd want to build a company around something with "phobic" in the name.
You can always try emailing him at hn@yombinator.com . But I'm not sure whether he will accept.

Remember that it will be manual process so if everyone and their dog send a rectification, it will be too much work and he will hate me. Try this only if you extremely dislike the application that you upvoted by mistake.
And what would be the point of claiming to be Satoshi and then turning around and feigning incompetence? Why make the claim in the first place?

A system like DynamoDB, that exposes no concept of database cluster size, would be a PaaS, then? Still sounds off, to me. "PaaS" just isn't a word that applies to a service that doesn't execute your code.

Something that's almost entirely a database on the backend could still be a PaaS if it runs your code, though—like Parse.
That's Customs and Border Protection.

Also of interest may be the Mammalian Diving Reflex (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mammalian_diving_reflex) - Exposing your face to cold water and holding your breath can induce bradycardia (slowing of pulse), dropping it by 10-20 BPM.

In my experience, it leaves me with a sense of calm and general body-relaxation similar to how I feel 30-60 minutes after cardio workouts.

Isn't that the point, though? Who are these jets going to fight -- pretty much any realistic hypothesis of conflict today would consist of asymmetrical warfare, especially if waged by the US or US allies. Asymmetrical warfare with existing weaponry, let alone next-generation planes. The only scenario where the US would face significant resistance is vs China or Russia, where planes wouldn't even get the chance to take off before Midnight is upon us.

Given the situation, it would make more sense to invest in something cheaper that will do the job just as well.
Cello – a programming language for living cells
Ask HN: How do you learn to read source code?
I'm a decent solo programmer and freelance web developer and I've created some simple back end programs together with a friend.

But when it comes to understanding even the most simple open source projects I can't for the life of me understand what's going on. There are so many functions relating to each other, so many classes that I just get lost. I'd probably get lost in everything my friends have written as well if they weren't there to in detail explain their architecture for me.

So how do you do you learn this? There are plenty of books and resources on how to program but I've yet to find any on how to read source code.

Now my messaging is off and I'm unorganized? I can't comment on the circumstances of the original complaint given that I don't know the identity of the person involved. I can say that I've spoken with hundreds of candidates across a variety of technical and non-technical roles. We've hired ~15 over the last year and hope to find more folks that are excited to build with us. I can also say that as a "technical executive" (ha!) my top priority is building a product that people love; hiring is a large part of that. I'd caution against coming to such specific conclusions based off of very little information.

I wasn't following the initial wave of submissions so here's my fresh-eyes take on the finalists. I'd particularly like to see other people's assessments of the whole field (vs individual submissions)

Not Ambitious Enough: These are in competitive spaces -- even if they delivered on their goals they wouldn't be #1 of their kind

Krewe (There are so very many social networks -- and nextdoor already exists. What makes this indespensible?)
Pikii (There are tons of pseudonymous social networks in particular -- what are you trying to accomplish?)

Too Narrow: I don't think there's going to be enough customers in love with this product for a funded growth business to thrive. Specifically, these have a low enough ceiling that they'd be stronger self-funding than taking outside money.

Bad Market: Your customers don't care about the problem you're solving:

Casepad (Lawyers are pathologically tech-phobic and by their nature are spending someone else's money and taking a percentage. Cost savings are taking money out of their pocket.)
Tiz.com (Liquor distribution is a de jure or de facto monopoly/kleptocracy. Being inefficient is a profit center for them.)

Pet Rocks: These solutions lack a problem

Eat My Dust (It's free to check if you live next to a superfund site. Have you?)
Utiliz (For almost every residential customer this is saving literally dollars a month)

Too Ambitious: These applicants are so far from winning that money would be premature

Brodlist (This is one of the toughest markets on both tech and marketing grounds. You need to demonstrate that you are better than the teams that are currently struggling)
Gresham Dollar (Your competition has an army and a navy)

Cowardly Lions: You already have what you need to succeed within you

By force of law, judges are not allowed to pre-judge, i.e., to express to the public what they will decide on the bench. Suggesting the opposite is the exact definition of propaganda. This impeachment will only be legal if the supreme decides so, and that can only happen when they sit to judge this issue. Until then, the whole process is proceeding in judicial limbo. It can quite rightfully be termed as a coup.
The Europeans are socialists. In the sense that (anglo-saxons aside) they like to socialize access to justice, thus the codefied law system. Having to switch to abitral courts which decisions cascade into laws and juresprudence, comes in detrimental to european legal cultures. TTIP is thus even more disliked than the European Union itself is, with its regulations and directives.
There are 76,000 people in Alameda. Are you saying there aren't at least a handful among them that you couldn't get along with? You have a few anecdotal examples of bad experiences getting to know people in your neighborhood, but I doubt that would be the case for most people.

People generally move to areas where they think they will fit in. Yet they rarely have a good way to comfortably meet people in their new neighborhood. A lot of the time, they just end up befriending no one and being lonely all the time, which is a really awful state to be in, trust me. Krewe will give everyone an opportunity to make good friends and have a real social life.
I'm interested too. I'm looking into adding hyperscan to Rust's benchmark harness (which already has PCRE1, PCRE2, RE2, Tcl and Oniguruma). I'm trying to figure out how best to wrap the API. The callback function in `hs_scan` is something I haven't seen in a regex library before (although I bet I can understand why it's used), but for example, Rust's wrapper cripples the callback in comparison to C by dropping the `void *context` parameter: http://flier.github.io/rust-hyperscan/doc/hyperscan/type.Mat...

I'm happy to wrap the C directly (in fact, that's what I've done for most of the other regex engines I benchmark against). Before I try to wrangle the callback-style API, is there an alternate API with a more explicit iterator-like interface?

It's about as expensive to live here as it is in many skyscrapers in Manhattan. NYC seems to have those other problems pretty well figured out. I've never heard a very convincing reason that SF can't be more like Manhattan in terms of density, except that the existing residents who've "got theirs" don't like the idea.
That might be true in theory. In fact, secrecy is used to hide a vast array of horrors and ram them through under the cover of "trade liberalization."
The main problem with most typed languages is basically that types are nominal by default.

What I want is free-form records and structural types by default, nominal types only when necessary. I get more than half of that with TypeScript (it does lack nominal types but there are ways to get around that), and honestly its the half I prefer having.
I wish voters could be somehow made to feel they are putting in their money here. This way they woild put in more thought. And people wont vote on a whim/as a protest/troll.

I don't know... maybe each vote means parting away with 100 HN points :) that's the closest to real money I can think of for anonymous voters.
With the caveat that their customers are all businesses buying large blocks of numbers, no?
Ask HN: Any interest for idea-to-launch in 6 weeks for $3800?
I finally found a small team of developers who successfully launched my side project. The hardest part has been, by far, finding the right team to outsource. It took me several years and several failed attempt to land with this team.

Since I was happy with the output for the amount of money I paid, I thought others in my shoes might benefit from something like this. So I worked out a package with team:

MVP, 6 weeks of effort, one mobile platform of choice, $3800, includes basic design, includes publishing to app store

Wanted to see if there is any interest from the startup community. Any feedback on the package, pricing? Any experience to share?
Everyone has their stumbling blocks, so I'm not judging you - only that I think it's not that hard for myself and an essential skill for mostly every app developer except in niche industries.

But I guess I'm curious what your stumbling block is. Is the database servers themselves, or is it something like SQL that gets you? SQL was odd to me when I first looked at it due to its declarative nature, and having to think in sets. But it was quite intuitive once I used it for a little bit. Indexes... I knew about them from when I was learning about C++ data structures, so it should be a transferrable skill.

Here's a link to the paper: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/oby.21538/full
I don't think you understand the legal justification behind the 5th amendment. It has nothing to do with the contents of your mind being private. It is a protection against forced confessions via torture.

A long time ago it used to be common to torture people until the admitted to committing a crime that they did not commit just to stop getting tortured. By making this sort of testimony inadmissible it removes the incentive to torture.

The various restrictions against law enforcement whether it be the 5th amendment or anything else all exist for specific reasons. They aren't just there to make law enforcement's job harder and as a general privacy protections. Extending these rules beyond the justification for their existence (as you attempt to do in your comment) isn't supported by legal precedent.
They are not using industry standard terms in the datasheet for some reason. I believe the 160MHz is the analog bandwidth of the device. There is no real-time bandwidth (RTBW/IBW) specification, which is the number the defines the widest channel bandwidth of a device. It is likely that the 60MSPS bandwidth can be shifted within that 160MHz analog bandwidth using the on-chip NCO to hop around.
We won't go to the stars until we're actually IN space. Not visiting, but there permanently. When people are born, live and die without ever being dirtside on Earth; when they live in habitats made from lunar and asteroidal materials, we're there. When we've colonized this system we will be prepared to reach out to another.

Now imagine these people, who've lived all their lives in wonderful space habitats, worked in ships and on other planets and such. I don't think they'll be looking for another Earth. Why would they? They'll think their space habitat is far more comfortable.

As far as interstellar travel is concerned, I'm certain we will solve longevity well before we travel to the stars. FTL won't be the big obstacle it seems now. When your lifespan is several centuries, spending 30-50 years of it traveling across the stars is as reasonable as our ancestors crossing Europe, the Atlantic or Pacific oceans, or the American Continent to colonize a new land.

Since their colony ship is a fine habitat, they won't be looking for an Earth-like planet; they'll be looking for a Sun-like star. Of which there are many. Humans can spread out at a sub-light speed across our arm of the Galaxy. But most trips will be one-way. Each colony must be self-sustaining. The best find would be an asteroid belt in the habitable zone. Cheap resources!
Not necessarily, thank goodness!

Question to YC - how representative are these, as a sample of the applications YC typically sees? I've always wondered what YC's raw unfiltered application sets look like. Is this more or less skewed in any atypical ways?
Thank you for posting this method of analysis (as well as the poster who pointed to ACH). I think the analytically-minded typically think along these lines, but it is very helpful to me to have a system to formalize around.
In unusual circumstances, like an audit perhaps. Many small businesses go their entire existence without sharing detail level transactions with the government.

So, when it's proposed, it's unusual, and is worthy of concern.
I admire your optimism, but statements like "Who wouldn't want X?" are inherently naive. When you ask people if they'd want X, they generally answer yes. What matters is what people will actually do, and I don't think it's possible to build a product like yours without a very keen understanding of that.
