"No Indians, No PRC" can also mean bias on citizenship (i.e. politics)! That might be especially so when the same (Han ethnic) Chinese from HK or ROC would meet no hardship. So it may not necessarily be the race (or at least not for all landlords) as it may be the way they expect that their tenants will think or behave. It's called Memetics, and until naturalization in a new medium the individuals may present a higher risk of getting themselves at odds with the others around them.

>What he created and grew is undeniably better than where he started, even with loans from his father.

The question is: What could have created without those loans? Without the connections from his father?

If it's true that he would have more material wealth if he had just invested that money in an index fund, I don't know that we can say he's a particularly great businessman. If we compare him to people that have created much more with much less, it's certainly difficult to argue he's in the same class as they are.

How many people in America that run small to medium sized businesses would have been able to do as well as he did if given the same resources? This is something that's hard to come to any sort of scientific answer on, but I imagine the number would be quite high, and I don't think that they would all be qualified to be president.
One of the bigger problems with serverless architecture (beyond catastrophic lack of good debugging and development tools) is the idea of managing multiple users, working on multiple code branches, and all needing environments that somewhat closely mirror production. This leaves servless as a decent way to hook an event callback to some AWS event (new file uploaded to S3, etc) but IMHO not anything that approximates any kind of business logic - or anything that will need to be iterated on by more than one developer. I feel it is a massive reach to market this to anyone at this point, and if this catches on, would really make me hate programming compared to what local development in VMs feels like - where I have much greater tools. It's inefficient both for the developer and at runtime.
Yeah, I guess less so now, but before C# was open sourced the only viable option was Windows servers and people usually used SQL Server with it. So in that case many people chose to lock themselves into that vendor and stack. So in my mind Lambda as a back end is no worse than that in terms of vendor lock-in. I suppose that Amazon will be able to provide support for many years given how much of the internet currently runs off of them.

OK thanks for the answer. I agree that this context sensitivity is probably the most Perl-ish part of Perl. I just read over the Camel book section on this, and it says:

"This is the most important section in this chapter. In fact it's the most important section in the entire book."

"Not only that, but you can't make any general rules to apply what you know about some expressions to others. Each expression can make up its own rules. ... Perl is very much a language that tries to do the most common, mostly right thing for you."

"In fact, a big part of learning Perl is actually learning how Larry thinks. Therefore, once you can think like Larry does, you know what Perl should do".

Those quotes don't inspire confidence in me -- it sounds like a battalion of mostly correct special cases... mostly correct meaning "sometimes wrong". However, I do appreciate that the linguistic part of your brain is very large and powerful, and once you internalize all these rules they can lead to a beautiful expressivity. Larry is making use of a different part of your brain than other languages do.

But I have to work with 5 languages regularly, and I see this polyglot trend only increasing in the future. So I appreciate when languages are a little more predictable, and a few months away from them won't diminish my fluency.

I wouldn't doubt it - some stuff is easy to agree on (an incorrect date, value, etc.), but when it comes to political and other topics, it's never a done deal. But I do think a place to report this stuff is nice.

I can barely stand to visit reddit anymore - but even there, it's not the hardest task to identify some of the rational comments and check their veracity - thats essentially what I would be interested in.
Does it matter whether something is new or not? The fact is there are services such as AWS lambda that people are using and talking about, so we need terminology for that.
to be fair, when you say "(which are well known)", you are just repeating the liberal/left/media/anti-Donald perspective that he's a racist and he thinks all Mexicans are rapists etc. The rest of the population understands that isn't the case.
In my experience, what does a manager do if there's no one around to manage?

Deal with weird interpersonal issues of members on the team. Seriously, if you've never been a manager before, it will shock you some of the childish things people complain to you about.

I do agree with you that the ideal is to have the team be self-managing, but there is usually some maturing that needs to happen among the team to reach that goal.
Dear Sir, English is an Indian language :)

Honestly, its the consensus language, since its already is the commercial language of the world. Knowledge and fluency in English is the basic for cultural and professional sophistication (in India). India during the moguls had similar thing with farsi. BJP(current ruling party) want to impose Hindi, but primarily South and East peripheries have strong linguistic identities usually are not comfortable, so English is the happy compromise.
While there are a couple of good books about the economy of the soviet union - just this NYT article quoting Yeltsin should be enough - http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/23/world/europe/23cnd-yeltsin...

The light industry and consumer good sectors of the Soviet Economy were woefully underdeveloped - the Brezhnev Stagnation, didn't improve matters and robbed the Soviet economy of much hard currency that could have been used to invest in the economy - but to an extent just like us - the elephant in the room was the amount of GDP spent on the Military - there is a report of a perhaps apocryphal conversation between Gorbachev and Reagan about how each of their respective generals are always demanding more money, more for planes, missiles, tanks, and more.

The soviets lost the cold war not due to any inherent moral issues with their system (where there were many) - but due to economic collapse.

Funny memory. We bought an SGI machine for when clients were around (doing 3D graphics and video compositing). In the backroom we did it all on Amigas and Lightwave. Clients thought it was all done on SGI/Softimage - so it must be good! It would've been (better) if we could afford as much workstations and application seats as we would've wanted. I still have two SGI's that work. It feels like owning a vintage Ferrari or something, even though nowhere near the monetary value.

The phrase I remember was that the WordStar key commands were no one's favorite commands, but everyone's second favorite. That is, everyone in microcomputing in the 1980s knew and could use the ^KB, etc. set, but preferred some other editor's way of doing things.

Looking around now, this may have come from Phillipe Khan and Sidekick. Quoting Jim Mischel at http://www.mischel.com/diary/2005/08/22.htm :

> While I'm on the subject of WordStar, I've heard a story that I haven't been able to verify. When Phillipe Kahn was asked why he chose to use the WordStar command set in the first version of Sidekick, he said that he asked a lot of people for their editor preferences. Almost everybody had a different first preference (back then it could have been Emacs, vi, Word Perfect, WordStar, Brief, Leading Edge Word Processor, or who knows what else). But almost everybody he asked knew WordStar and named it as their second preference. I don't know if it's true, but it smacks of truth. Certainly every microcomputer programmer I knew back in the late 80s was proficient with WordStar.
Finding remote work in mobile test automation
Hello HN,
I’m a test automation guy with 3 years’ experience implementing UI automation scenarios for iOS and Android. I write the bulk of my test framework in C#, my test layer in gherkin and I use Appium as the driver / server for sending my commands to the mobile device. I generate a report at the end of each session and as I am using a BDD test layer it’s very easy to read and pinpoint problems. I also know how to integrate this all into Jenkins so that each night the daily mobile build from that day can be tested.

I have now, with great success, implemented this type of solution at two well known companies but later this year would like the flexibility to work remotely and not be tied to a specific location.

My questions are, firstly do you think this is a viable idea? Secondly, could you recommend how I can connect with companies who might be looking for remote employees / remote contractors for mobile test automation? Looking on LinkedIn I can see many companies are looking for people with my skillset but they are all location dependent.

Thank you for your time.
Imo they realized it doesnt work for their users core usecases that well. Therefore they removed efforts.

The problem here is in the end that there isnt a easy way for a company to communicate it's product strategy to api users and people are left to reverse engineer it.

the number of Americans who are no longer in the labor force has hit an all time high of 94.7 million. If one were to factor in the low labor force participation rate, the actual unemployment rate would be significantly higher than the headlines.

According to CLSA economists, if the participation rate stayed at the levels before the financial crisis, the unemployment rate would be 9.6%, more than double what it was at the time of their study (fixed) [1].

Write into the job description what you actually expect from the engineer. Sadly, we don't have the shorthand you might expect in other industries, so, spell it out. "Expected to be able to drive product requirements and fundamental architecture, interact at a peer level with product and project management, mentor other team members, and make wise use of resources." Add other criteria for software reliability, security, performance, backwards compatibility, etc. as appropriate to your domain. Someone who may think they're "senior" will if they are realistic realize they haven't done that.
> As much as I agree with that I'm still at a loss as to why butts in seats management is still so dominant today.

Don't be at a loss. Political games (or politics) are best played in person. It's the reason for campaign trails among other things.
I find this article fundamentally confused. The author spends a lot of time talking about what he invisions a senior engineer ought to be in his opinion (which involves all kinds of ownership). But senior engineer is just a title, it can't be used wrongly, because it's inherently a meaningless cat-and-mouse money game between employees and companies. It's politics; it's a name.

Much in the same way that somebody founding a startup can be "engineer" or "CTO" or "Software king Ninja Level 7 dan grandmaster." Titles will never be objectively consistent, this is why the whole industry is now discussing consistent interviews instead hiring based on titles on resumes.
Have you only tested syntactically valid code? For example, the code snippet:

for (int i = 0; i ? N; ++i) {
a[i]->val = i;
}

Is clearly either C or C++, but it's not valid C or C++ because "i ? N" is not a valid boolean expression in the for loop. I actually think your techniques would work on syntactically invalid code, but I'm curious if you tried.
Frankly, this sounds absolutely insane. How is a death march that doesn't exact a toll a death march? Does anyone work a 40 hour a week death march?

Why wouldn't you just look for a new job? Why waste your own time on a doomed project?

I certainly hope all the engineers are in on the joke, because if I found out some others on my team conspired to create this situation without letting me decide to be involved or not I would be super pissed.
Reasonable people disagree with you that Marx, Engels, Hitler, Mussolini, Lenin, and Trotsky have defined the word "socialism" with the precision you feel it now has.

Invoking Mussolini this way is a particularly telling example.

So is Hitler. Why not just simplify your argument to "The Nazis were National Socialists. Check and mate!"

I know people who have opened stores in the US, and all of them have needed permits and various bits of government approval, sometimes zoning board hearings and whatnot. The larger the enterprise, the more approval needed, just like the USSR. You seem to lack knowledge of how tbe economy in the USSR functioned.

You keep using this word market. A market in the US was the same as a USSR market. Yes, other things varied, but markets were the same.

Also you are attributing and inferring some statements to me that I did not say.
Is this why IKEA, which is one of the largest non-state owned Swedish companies is set up as Netherlands-based entity (INGKA Holding), ostensibly for tax evasion purposes?

Sweden does have a lower corporate tax rate than the U.S., though the U.S. tax code offsets this by providing a multitude of different deductions for business expenses. Among other things, government imposed fines are tax deductible as per the U.S. Tax Code. When it comes to personal tax rates, Sweden's rate is much higher than the rate in the U.S. (http://taxfoundation.org/blog/how-scandinavian-countries-pay...)

Not debating the validity of your larger point here, but your assertion re Sweden being economically free as compared to the U.S. isn't that accurate. It is a very much a socialist nation that is also very prosperous.
I look forward to a fix, especially if the (I think) larger issue of large aggregates not being initialized efficiently is addressed. It feels like it is another instance of the same issue.

Sublime Text plugin review: GitGutter
I work in the video games business and for us (at least at the better companies I have worked at) the title senior programmer is not based on years of experience. Usually it entails being able to work without supervision to design and deliver complicated features on time. It requires someone who is up to date with industry developments and best practises, who can take lead responsibilities but not always. Strong mentoring is another plus. I've worked with people in their late 30s that are still intermediate level. However there is a strong correlation with years and senior level, because those that stay in the business are the ones that thrive and succeed, whilst those who struggle to advance tend to quit and take more suitable work.
I'm reading a lot of comments exclusively blaming communism, but when I lived in Caracas during the first years of the Chavez presidency, I witnessed an overwhelming public support in his favor.

Elections were won with ~70% of the votes, and I also recall various referendum-like votes which Chavez won easily as well. Another fact that surprised me was that every Sunday he would give these 4h long speeches, and a crowd would invariably go to the streets/TV to watch him speak.

Later on I am aware that this scenario changed drastically, but in my layman's eyes the first years of Chavismo seemed very democratic, and of course also very populist (e.g. housing for the poor), which only made the governments approval rates soar.

I'm not saying I'm pro-communism, but before pointing a finger at communism, maybe the democratically elected Venezuelan government's incompetence, especially regarding spending all the revenue from it's single main natural resource on unsustainable populist programs with little ROI, should be blamed.
