Hi man, I just interrupted my game of Overwatch because a colleague pointed me to this comment. My C compiler in Haskell is located here: https://github.com/tinco/nanc it's not fully functional yet, but will be soon ;) Also, just got owned by a team with 3 tracers :(

edit: Just read what this thread is about. I really like to program, so much so that I usually find an hour or two per day to code (not every day, check my github streak if you want) Usually it's between 11pm and 1am, after dinner, after a movie with my partner, when she's playing a video game or watching a series, I do some coding.

So I also play video games or watch movies. I like competitive games, mostly SC2, DotA and now Overwatch, but I don't worry about my MMR the way I used to when I played over an hour per day. Compared to achieving a high MMR building a ninja rockstar software project like a C compiler in Haskell is easy. Who is going to compete with me? It's a crazy idea anyway! I just work on it a couple hours per week, and after a year or two it'll be an impressive project no matter what. It's got everything I learned in it.

Regaining the MMR I had in SC2 back in University will take me months of hard practice, but when I feel like continuing my C compiler, the commits are still there. The C compiler stems from a deep passion I have and a deep frustration I feel with the state of the art, that's why even if I don't dev on it for a few months, I'll go back to it eventually and continue. So... I can relax and play Overwatch for an hour or two, no worries. (Overwatch is much more forgiving than SC2 or DotA btw.)
It's been 2.5 months. Last week, it was pushed back to the fall: http://www.space.com/33145-spacex-to-refly-falcon-9-rocket-f...

It is interesting that it was 2 months.. then after landing a few, it's now 6 months. Makes you wonder how much damage the rocket is sustaining during launch/recovery.
Or the opposite- working a job you don't like just leaves you drained...
They track out even if you don't have an account. They have no reason to change their policies, because you cannot hurt their business enough as a user (you're the product, not the customer).

The only reasonable option, if one cares, is to use disconnect/ghostery/abp with the right lists, etc.

In case you are not aware: Every single web page that has a 'facebook like' button reports your surfing habits to Facebook, whether you have an account or not.
Quantopian is awesome! We plan to release an API this summer for those who want to play with triggers and their brokerage accounts programmatically. Thanks!

It's funny the guy who named his company micro-soft is interested in condoms.

I looked into the contest and it previously ran for a short time and is not really set up for people who want to make money of the product.
fair enough. But let's compare them to the competitors, Facebook, Google, Apple. Only the last can legitimately be said not to pollute your life with more ads than Microsoft. MS is benign by comparison with the first two.
I genuinely don't get the point. Of course the buildings aren't legal under current zoning laws. They weren't built under current zoning laws! We don't tear down every skyscraper whenever the earthquake requirements change. Nobody moves their house when the setback requirement goes from 8' to 12'. These kinds of articles are tautological.

edit: the article mentions "illegal neighborhoods and illegal houses" but doesn't say anything about the laws when they were built.
I seriously doubt a derailing train could take down an entire skyscraper.
Yes, I agree with you. Unless I'm fundamentally misunderstanding what a "Happiness Hero" is, it appears they are paying a developer's salary for email support. $77k in Louisville, Kentucky would be about $135k in NYC.

$77k is not "extraordinarily" high for Kentucky without any context, but it would be very surprising for an email support role. In fact, I would expect $70k to be a very upper bound for technical support in NYC.

That said, there might be a very technical component of the job role that we do not have any insight on.
Hello! Co-founder here. We're working on it but don't have anything to announce at the moment. Stay tuned!
>In short, this was all caused by the fact that we grew the team too big, too fast. We thought we were being mindful about balancing the pace of our hiring with our revenue growth. We weren’t.

>Reflecting on it now, I see a lot of ego and pride reflected in that team size number.

> In many areas, we grew the team more than was truly necessary for the time, more than was clearly validated.

I feel like we all experience this pull by vanity metrics, ego, etc. The level of honestly we've seen in this post will hopefully serve as a reality check for many of us.

>Both Leo and I have taken a salary cut of 40% until at least the end of the year. Savings: $94,000.

>Leo and I are committing $100k each in the form of a loan at the lowest possible interest rate, with repayment only when Buffer reaches a healthy financial position. Savings: $200,000.

This is an attitude and decision I saw made by the C-level during the financial crisis at a company with hundreds of employees. The C level took home $0 in pay and the staff took at 40% until they made it back to profitability, in order to avoid laying anyone off (this is Japan where reemployment would be incredibly difficult).

It shows maturity and commitment to the organization (i.e. your people) that is rarely seen these days in startup land. Much respect.
Without going into specifics, yes.
We plan to offer a premium subscription to unlock premium triggers (like compound ones, if this AND that AND that) and also premium data types (like cryptocurrencies). In addition, we plan to offer an API that we can license to both developers and financial technologies businesses.
My first instinct was that it was some kind of scam, but apparently these people did some hard research into my publicly available information (LinkedIn, etc). They didn't mention their name which almost set off a red flag for me.
create resentment over compensation and lay people off it seems.
My Show HN post didn't mention the YC company, and the post was reinstated without any revisions of the post itself after I emailed dang.
When you buy an accounting system there's a lot of customization that goes on to set up your chart of accounts, configure check printing, etc. They were apparently running the business off an Excel spreadsheet, so even Quickbooks would have been a step up.
> Perhaps they groovy or scala

You're using Apache Groovy as a counter-example to PHP blowing? Groovy's the PHP equivalent in the JVM world, the sloppy partner to the more exacting Scala, Clojure, and Kotlin.

Since its first release in late 2003, Groovy's been extended and repurposed so many times it's not really one unified language anymore. The MOP stuff was added for Grails in 2006, the half-baked types when generics were added in v 1.5, the pluggable annotations in v 1.6, the command syntax in v 1.7 to appeal make Gradle builds look nicer, the static typing in 2.0, traits in 2.2, the unsuccessful switch to Android deliverables after that, with backwards incompatibilities between minor versions. And then there's the stuff that silently got dropped, like interceptors and empty try statements.

Groovy's OK for quick'n'dirties scripting Java classes and defining builds, but for actually building systems use a language built from the ground up for that purpose, e.g. Java, Scala, or Kotlin.

Not only is 10ms roundtrip latency critical to the interactive audio type applications mentioned by others -- it is critical for VR too.
And the founders each loaned the company $100k out of their own pockets at "the lowest possible interest rate."

There's a lot of laudable humility and self-accountability in this post and the actions they've taken.

Except according to an earlier posting from someone who went thru the process -- they didn't get a direct offer: they still had to go thru technical interviews. I thought a big point of this was that you could skip the BS technical interviews and prove yourself thru this.

Yes, all conditions orders, like limit and stop loss etc at the end of day are triggers. Right now you can set a level for a trigger an issue a market order (which is a SL) or a limit order (stop limit order) with your existing brokerage for just the commission they would charge you. In the future, you can construct your own sophisticated stop loss orders, like IF GOOG trades below $500 AND it's outside of 1 hour of the close, THEN sell.

Actually, couple of things I forgot. First IMO Microsoft has always been properly credible on programming languages. Right back to MASM. There were 20 years of awful behaviour, but the languages side was always a highlight (I forgive VB but even that was okay for its use case).

Also, little things. Anybody looked at Babylon.js? Brilliant, brilliantly documented, and the sense that this Open Source "side project" by a few MS employees is really being given enthusiastic support by the parent, the feeling that it's not going to wither. Strength to strength. I love it.
Did you read the article, because the author is pretty much calling the whole thing a forgery.

As a Korean American who also has worked at Samsung headquarters, I think it's more of bad news than good news, no matter how Joyent wants to spin it.

Its corporate culture only allows the most cunning, politically savvy person to stay alive and move up the rank, and thus most executives (all if I limit it to small sample of executives I've personally met) fit that model.

And shit literally flows downwards, where goals/promises set by them would be pushed downwards and engineers have to take the burden.

It doesn't help that Korean society is very hierarchal and based on Confucius principles, where you don't usually challenge older persons and/or someone higher in the rank. This is one example that describes serious problem - http://thediplomat.com/2013/07/asiana-airlines-crash-a-cockp....

For those of you who are intrigued and have time, I suggest watching Misaeng with English subtitles (https://www.viki.com/tv/20812c-incomplete-life). Samsung isn't as bad, but the same hierarchy, verbal abuse, social dynamics, and strict rules on paper format exist.

The best outcome would be if they leave Joyent's management and culture alone. But I doubt it.

I also have the first-hand experience of their applying the same "consumer electronics" mentality to completely different business which required high-touch sales.

There is no denying success of Samsung - multi-billion, international corporation. However, Samsung is only good at generating quality hardware products at mass scale. There have not been success in any sort of software and services. Perhaps they are trying to expand beyond their strengths, and I applaud that effort and they actually do need it, since it's only matter of time Chinese companies will catch up and produce as quality products as Samsung, as Samsung did to Sony. I hope it bears fruits. I hope they can allow Joyent to succeed and thrive, and learn from that.

I will see what happens next few years.

Absolutely, you don't need to have a brokerage account to use Trigger. You can just set alerts to get notifications on events and price movements you care about, but also track the performance of how you would have done if you sold or bought a stock at that time.

Re-robinhood, we are in line to get access to their API, and it will be the next broker we chose to integrate with. You can potentially have free algorithmic trading from your phone!

If I had to guess, their first priority is launching new rockets that generate revenue, with paying customers' payloads on them (as all of the recent Falcon 9 launches have been), rather than a self funded R&D flight. I don't think any paying customer would put anything other than a boilerplate/test article satellite on the very first ever re-use of a first stage.
Remember, the stock market is just gambling. Fancy tools and triggers just let you kid yourself you know what you're doing. Unless you do it as a full time job, you probably should not ever directly trade individual stocks. What do you know that the pros do not?
Just downloaded on the 6S. Nice UI but the app is a little buggy. Good Luck and awesome seeing a startup launching from Cornell Tech!

Price/performance always wins.

Can an application unikernel on a hypervisor (which is really a lightweight OS that nowadays supports many pass-through features) beat performance of an application on a regular OS? (I didn't mention containers, since they should ultimately be irrelevant to hot path performance). So can it? With a lot of work, I bet they can.

So who has has the better price/performance? That's going to depend on how much engineering work it is to adopt, fix, and use unikernels, when they are competing with an established ecosystem around Linux and containers. And that may be where unikernels actually loses on price/performance, where price includes total cost of ownership. We'll see!
Yes, but then you need to buy ~200 metric tons of fuel per day (@ $500/MT), pay port and canal charges ($350,000 each way for a PanaMax), etc.

The most money I ever made was with a group of fellow startup friends, who I considered my family. Being a career warrior might work for you, but that idea worked for us.
For the record, it looks like Musk never said "we will do it in two months". He said SpaceX would aim for June and even mentioned likely delays in the same sentence. There's a huge difference, and the headline you linked to was written as clickbait.

I had a similar epiphany when I started using Rust. I hadn't really understood the power of ADTs, having only come across them in Haskell, until I saw them in an otherwise more familiar language, and it totally changed the way I think about things.
This is so 100% on point. I think the Netflix NYT article from yesterday had a more realistic tone regarding the "family" aspect: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/19/magazine/can-netflix-survi...

> The key concept is summed up in the 23rd slide. “We’re a team, not a family,” it reads. “Netflix leaders hire, develop and cut smartly, so we have stars in every position.”

Your last sentence here is really important. If that's the mindset a person is in, when a business-centric action happens they won't feel as betrayed. Trust me, feeling betrayed while also fully logically knowing you shouldn't feel betrayed because it's a corporation in a capitalist ecoystem is such a bad feeling.

I admire Buffer for being so transparent with their salaries, but I don't think I would ever decide to work for a company that mandated it.

In my (admittedly limited) experience, mandating salary transparency tends to increase the salaries of low performers and reduce the salaries of high performers. It usually eliminates the potential for negotiating raises and poses difficult questions about paying some employees more than others in the same band.

Case in point: according to Buffer's salary calculator[1], a "master" (their highest rank) backend developer living in San Francisco and optimizing for salary over equity would earn about $155,000/year. I can't think of any definition of "master" developer that could be competitive for. Friends of mine at AmaGooBookSoft and even other startups have earned nearly double that for being merely "senior" (L5).

Was just going to post at a higher level, but your comment nails it. These guys are feeling the pain. It's clear. There is honesty going on here - I feel a lack of cynicism from the post, real soul searching, and for that, I can mitigate the otherwise knee-jerk negativity to the managers that I usually feel on layoff justification posts. Reality is hitting people. The market is slowing. Tough choices. No forgiveness for not having seen it, and for hurting the laid off people, but at least I see a genuine search for reasons and genuine empathy. Good post, under the circumstances.

Here's hoping that the wisdom on display will serve this company well.
It's funny that you mention MJFreeway. Their one of our competitors.

I'm an engineer at [Greenbits][1], a marijuana POS system running on almost 50% of stores in Washington State. We were runner up finalists at [2015's Tech Crunch Disrupt][2].

Every quarter, we do visits to stores (some of our customers and those of our competitors). It's amazing to see the state of the industry and how underserved it is. I think part of this is that everyone, retailers and regulators, are still figuring out how to run things. The problem is nuanced because of differences in taxes for recreational and medical, tracking of the product "from seed to sale", and various weird business regulations. We learn a lot of these trips and always come back with a lot of ideas on how to improve our product for our customers and do what our competitors don't.

We are visiting Denver, CO in a couple weeks. :D

Also, this is a plug, but we are starting to ramp up [hiring][3]. Currently, we only have the Engineering job posting up, but we are looking for a lot of positions and more will be posted up within the next few weeks.

I would get absolutely nothing done...
Unikernel proponents seem to assume that hardware virtualization will forever be the abstraction of cloud computing. However, hardware virtualization is the wrong abstraction, which is why the industry is beginning to adopt containers. There is no reason why you cannot run a unikernel in UNIX binary mode inside a container, but then it is really just a different way of developing a userland process rather than a unikernel. You definitely could still call it a unikernel. You would get the advantages of modularity that you specified and you would have all of the debuggability and observability that regular applications have today with the tools that we have today. However, that is rather different than the role in which they are intended to operate.

I guess my point is that the unikernel is always going to be the equivalent of a userland process. The question is whether your bare-metal kernel is going to be a traditional one or a hypervisor. They have definite performance advantages over a traditional kernel when your bare metal kernel is a hypervisor, but I believe that is the wrong abstraction when I consider overhead.
Hypervisors offer decent security and performance guarantees, which means they are good for sharing resources among potentially hostile customers. Their simple resource semantics and small ABI makes for a fairly secure abstraction.
Pretty much every word in this title is wrong- it's not Stanford, it didn't confirm, and it wasn't fraud.

- Can't have the compiler side by side with the debugger, even though there's plenty of room on the screen

- When the PC jumps, the highlighted instruction doesn't follow, leaving you lost when stepping through a program

- Can't hit enter on a blank line to repeat previous command

- No 'finish' debugger command?

- Seem to end up in random functions when stepping over simple instructions

- Am I supposed to type 'flash' or 'run' to execute my compiled program? Sometimes the one I just compiled gets executed, sometimes the one I compiled previously - how can we view what's being executed?
