I really like the look of Elm --- to me it seems to hit the sweet spot of being enough like Haskell to be awesome while also being understandable by humans. It also fixes some of the rougher edges of the Haskell syntax; I vastly prefer Elm's record syntax to Haskell's, for example, which apart from being much cleaner and obvious also avoids some of the more common Haskell namespace traps.

The one piece I'm really looking for is server-side Elm, though. I've love the ability to write both my client and my server in Elm. I know there are some projects to allow Elm via node.js but they're still quite rough.

(Is anyone looking into transpiling Elm to Standard ML, so that it can be compiled to fast native code with MLton? Because that'd be, like, really cool.)
I'm an MMA fan who grew up watching Pride (Fedor, Shogun, etc.).

I never became a fan of the UFC. Little things like the lack of production value for the graphics, the commentators (Mike Goldberg makes me cringe), to the need to use ring girls bothered me. I couldn't get over how low class and over commercialized it felt.
The Karate guys in the UFC and cleaning up these days like Stephen 'Wonderboy' Thompson.

Early MMA/UFC until recently was battle of the PEDs Royce was juiced to the gills in those marathon early matches.

Selling UFC right now was a good exit, the barrier to entry has fallen where competitor promotions can easily move in now since early UFC did all the arduous regulatory lobbying to legalize these matches and create a PPV market.

| As the cube gets larger, the complexity will get reduced, ( by ratio of volume/surface area ) ? Am I right ?

I know nothing about this except what a Rubik's cube looks like, but at first cut I'd say your comment is wrong but on the right track.

Rubik's cubes don't depend on volume at all, but the ratio of increasing the surface area is still an inverse square, so you'd be right if you focused on the ratio between area to linear dimension rather than the ratio of volume to area...

> I'm not interested in Flow.

Curious: Why not?
Yes, it was considered to be something like secretarial work. It took a long time for there to be a real appreciation for what programming was going to be like.

The contributions of Hamilton and Hopper during that era suggests to me that when things are new, they are undervalued, and that undervalued professions and undervalued people have a way of finding each other and doing great things.
> How do you process a million jobs in parallel across many machines?

Start the processes that execute the code, get notified when they are finished. Literally a couple of lines of Erlang/Elixir. Not some large framework that does all that for you, it's in the language. It is built to run a lot of tasks in parallel and across many machines.

> How do you schedule a job to run in a week?

Like anyone else, put it in some permanent storage like redis. You can also keep it in memory, you can also use mnesia which is a distributed database that comes with Erlang.
It's funny you say that as I just confirmed and cited it in another comment:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12073592

A prior comment related to Amazon Prime's apparent discrimination. I pointed out that Prime was avoiding crime not minorities. Local drivers, which Amazon outsources to, confirmed it for me personally in an unofficial sense where they agreed & personally wouldn't deliver to those areas.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11545009

So, it's a recurring theme but the crime angle is usually downplayed by left-leaning media. I agree with Microsoft's approach but I urge companies focus on crime statistics. There are many areas that are white and have tons of violent crime. Many areas are black with little violent crime. It needs to be about avoiding violent areas rather than minority areas specifically.

That is such a strange question. Vale Tudo is synonymous with MMA. UFC is a brand of MMA events, products, etc. UFC is currently the most recognizable and successful MMA promotion in the world. I guess to answer your question, the UFC is a big deal because they were the first promotion to bring MMA to the global audience and have been 1000x more successful doing so than anyone else before their existence. This is little different than asking why the NBA is a big deal, why the NHL is a big deal, etc when basketball, hockey, etc existed for many years before those leagues formed.

Not all the problems can be solved by training Indian developers.

By rule, good developers you get by self-thought guys. Certification is attended by people who might not be as good.

So... there. I don't think it is bad per se to have people trained in Android, since there is a lot of Java people in India, I just don't see mobile development going this route.

A Software Architect's Perspective on API's and Copyrights
I've built Germany's biggest online resume editor (https://lebenslauf.com), which started as a side project next to my main startup.

Some years ago a friend asked me to help her out with her resume, how to convert it into a proper PDF file etc. – busy and short of time as I was, I simply looked for some online tool to point her to.

Disappointed by the results of my search back then (2011) and motivated to fully design, code and market a small project on my own (after all those years mostly doing management), I started Lebenslauf.com and quickly got fascinated by the idea and technical challenges of a WYSIWYG CV editor.

For quite some time, it remained a side project where I'd spend about 4 hours per week maximum. Meanwhile the number of users grew slowly but steadily thanks to word-of-mouth from my friends and their friends and their friends...

After I sold my main startup in 2012, I finally found the time and fully realized the huge potential of Lebenslauf.com. So I started making it my main project in 2013 and at some point charged money for the created PDF files, which instantly led to five-figure revenues.

About one year later (2014), I sold it to https://xing.com (public company, essentially the German LinkedIn) for a higher seven-digit figure. I managed to get competing bids for it from multiple companies, so the whole sale process is a story of its own.

It's still astonishing to see what has grown out of it and how many people use it every day, and it was an exciting journey with totally different experiences than a venture-funded company.
I think Wozniak would have fit in well on the Alto team; he had the same approach of minimizing hardware as much as possible.

One unusual thing about the Alto is the code to run the disk (and other devices) was in microcode, not machine code. (Are there other computers that used microcode for programming, not just to implement the instruction set?)

I also hate puzzles and I never understood why so many programmers find them interesting.

I think much of real-world problem solving is about understanding. Understanding the situation. Understanding the history of the problem, what has been tried, what didn't work, etc. Asking a lot of questions and analyzing the answers. That's what I think should be called problem solving and I think there is very little overlap between this and puzzle solving.

Puzzle solving is generally about finding the trick that the creator of the puzzle used, or in the case of job interviews, fitting your solution to what the creator imagined. Real-world problems don't work like that.
> I can understand the brother's perspective. Shareholders, especially ones who own 40% of the company, have a reasonable expectation that the company CEO will be acting in their financial interests. In this case, the CEO was acting in a way that is favorable to his employees' interests, but detrimental to the interests of the shareholders. Given that the CEO legally has a Fiduciary duty to the shareholders to protect their best interests, I can understand the brother filing suit.

I'm not sure how you drew any conclusions about the lawsuit from the points you're trying to make in this paragraph; in fact I can't see how any of what you're saying has anything to do with the lawsuit? From TFA:

> On Friday, Judge Theresa B. Doyle of Superior Court in King County, in Washington State, ruled that Dan’s brother, Lucas, had failed to prove his claims that Dan had overpaid himself and inappropriately used a corporate credit card for personal expenses.

He wasn't getting sued for paying his employees $70k. It's a short article: you could have read the entire thing in less time than it took you to write an uninformed comment about it.
I'm currently using a "TypeScript loader" for either Webpack or Browserify.

Tell HN: New features and a moderator
Today we'd like to introduce five new features and one moderator.

1. You can collapse comments in threads. If you're logged in, collapses persist across page refreshes and devices for a week.

2. You can tell which way you voted and undo a vote if you want. An 'unvote' or 'undown' link appears after a post's timestamp when you vote.

3. Save and share the best stories and comments. Click on a post's timestamp to go to its page, then click 'favorite' at the top. Your favorites are linked from your profile, and you can browse other users' from theirs.

4. On the front page and /newest, click 'hide' if you no longer want to see a story. The next story in the list will slide up at the bottom. If you change your mind, visit /hidden and click 'unhide'. If you're logged in, hidden stories persist for a week.

5. Find out which stories were the most popular on HN on a given day by visiting /front?day=yyyy-mm-dd. You'll see all the front page stories for that day, sorted by how much time they spent there. For example, Alan Kay's AMA had the most front page time on June 20: https://news.ycombinator.com/front?day=2016-06-20.

Finally, I'm pleased to introduce sctb, a.k.a. Scott Bell, as a Hacker News moderator. Scott has been moderating HN incognito for a long time, but starting today he and I will be sharing the public part of the job. Since Scott is familiar with all aspects of HN moderation, you shouldn't notice any changes in practice; this is just an internal refactoring to enable such innovations as vacations and a day off. Scott is my cofounder from Skysheet (YC W09), an excellent programmer with a meticulous eye for detail, and a thoroughly decent human being. Please welcome him and be nice!

I am surprised how many young CEOS themselves forget this. My friend is a VC who invests in startups in India. Recently he invested few million dollars in an Indian startup and then invited the founders to SF. Later he learned that both the founders traveled business class and stayed at a beachfront resort. While this VC himself has been traveling econ class to India and staying with friends and family.
> Interestingly, the plaintiffs allege several violations of Israeli law but they are seeking relief in US federal court.

The first and second claims are claims under US law. The third and subsequent claims are claims under Israeli law. US law -- specifically, 28 USC Sec. 1367 -- gives US federal courts "supplemental jurisdiction" over claims (regardless of the law under which they arise) that are part of the same "case or controversy" as claims within their original jurisdiction.
Why is that a bad argument?
It's a pragmatic approach which I believe to be A LOT BETTER than the status quo.

Unfortunately people prefer the current way of implementing things: pretend to make everyone happy because people can't think 5 seconds ahead of time or even imagine that their actions affect others.

It's so easy to sell everything for the small, immediate benefits while ignoring the bigger picture.

I once failed a Microsoft interview where the biggest strike against me was a question which was just simple algebra, and one that I later saw in some programming interview book and realized it was actually a fairly simple one.

However, my brain froze at the time of the interview. Because I was furious. Because the interviewer kept asking me "Are you sure you have not seen this question before already?" and I kept saying I hadn't. So here is what she was actually conveying a) she does not trust the candidate b) actually having seen the problem before would have made the solution much easier (does it mean not having seen it before would make it that much harder?). Most interestingly, I later saw that the solution basically hinged around a specific insight, in other words it was a fairly binary outcome: you either figured out that little insight, or you didn't. It was not exactly a question which could have been progressively solved, and of course this brilliant interviewer was not moving on to another question either. I should have given the interviewer a piece of my mind, but unfortunately I was brought in for the round of interviews by referral from a friend.
Urban gyms are easier to defend? It seems to me the more people in an area the harder a gym is to defend, especially if you're early in your 21-hour cycle. I was in the last 20 minutes of my cycle today, and the gym at my suburban post office got taken from me about 5 times. The frustrating part is beating the gym and not getting one of mine in to defend it before someone else does.

So true. Happy to see this. Makes me think of how Rust works.
Race, Truth and Our Two Realities
The problem is that macro-op fusion, at least as commonly implemented, requires instructions to be adjacent, or at least close, for fusion to happen. This means that your careful plan of "not designing the µarch into the ISA" effectively goes out the window. It's not literally in the ISA, but the compiler needs to order the instructions just so to benefit from the fusion opportunities of the µarch that it's targeting, which often penalizes low-power designs that don't have the fusion in question.

There are some sequences where it makes an enormous amount of sense (cmp+jcc, mulhi+mullo, etc); most sufficiently complex µarchs already do those. RISC-V isn't magically going to squeeze a lot more macro-fusion opportunities out that other architectures aren't able to take advantage of.
"A Tesla Model X crashed in Montana Saturday night resulting in the SUV driving through a guardrail and going off the road. The driver blames the Autopilot but Tesla has yet to chime in. Based on the pictures of the aftermath, the vehicle appears to be totaled with the front passenger side being completely torn off, including the wheel, but fortunately, both occupants are reportedly OK."

“The car was in Autopilot at speed between 56-60 mph, the car drove off the road and hit the guard rail wood posts. I questioned him on how can Autopilot drove off the road by itself, he said he also want to find out.”

The accident happened in Whitehall, Montana.

Now that you say it I can totally see this. They need to add some major features for this game to stay in the top slot for very long.

Battles between friends, messaging, trading, etc.

I'd like to see them add in battling to capture Pokemon in the beginning as well but I'm ok with it how it is right now. It's a fun game that I think introduces the gamification of walking to a new level that I love. It gets nerds (like me) out of my house to play and really brings AR to a new level.

It would be awesome to have more rogue-like games that are AR based where you have mazes and bosses to get through.

> And the ISA has been around for 30+ years, so if it's still bad, is it the compiler's fault for not being smarter

Well, the base ISA's been around for 30+ years, but all the interesting extensions are a lot newer, and the µarch (and therefore what's optimal) has changed enormously in that time.
