No, it does not - as evidenced by most of the industry. Being deeply interested actually hinders your ability to work in a lot of typical programming jobs, because it'll make you get bored out by the realities of business and pushing the same pointless CRUD or boilerplate JS code.

I feel that the reason startups like young people is that only fresh programmers can feel passionate about or impressed by this kind of work.

who said they were an alternative to relational databases? The problem with the post was not that the 4 mentioned were bad, only that they were the "only four worth using" which is an eye-rollingly ridiculous statement. Anybody who asserts that relational databases are the only serious databases is plain wrong, or has an ulterior motive. And this is not for "web scale bullshit" by the way. It is about large amounts of financial timeseries ingest for machine learning optimizations that I can promise you, has nothing to do with the web.

NB, Rust RFC 1133 "Make Cargo aware of standard library dependencies" isn't the same as IETF RFC 1133 "Routing between the NSFNET and the DDN".

I first searched for just "rfc 1133" and the matches didn't really make much sense :]

Rust RFC 1133: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1133
These are just experiments on the margins. In each case, the flagship languages are not implemented on top of GC'd runtimes or interpreters. Apple's Objective-C and Swift runtimes are both C++. Microsoft's C# CoreCLR is C++. Google's V8 and Dart have runtimes written in C++. Oracle's HotSpot is C++. Go's core runtime is in a Go-minus-GC subset.

It didn't have to be this way - Swift could have been written atop the JVM, v8 could have been implemented via Boehm, etc. For whatever reason, when it counts, the stuff under the hood doesn't use garbage collection.

That solution (append(a[:0], a[1:]...)) doesn't look remotely performant. I don't have a copy of go handy to test, but exploding most of the list into individual arguments and passing them to a variadic function, just to pack them all back into an array, seems quite circuitous to me.

What kind of review are you looking for?

Posting it on HN is going to be a pretty good review in itself (though possibly a bit harsh).
Which mobile ISP are you using ? Telekom has LTE pretty much everywhere outside and i frequently get >50Mbps when doing a speedtest around the city, all reception is usually strong. Vodafone should also be decent, but anything based on O2/Eplus can be shitty (but cheaper).

Not saying mobile internet is great, imo it's too expensive to get a decent amount of mobile data and speed, but it's not shit.

At home, if you get cable it should be set up in a couple of days, DSL can take weeks though.

I am somewhat confused here. How can an antenna (a passive device) multiply (or amplify) the power? Yes, it can effectively increase the range by allowing the signal to propagate farther, but actually multiply the power? I don't think so, unless it also includes a signal amp/booster.
Python && Haskell? That seems like a contradiction.

>>> But I never actually wrote up a "complete" project in my own time, not a single one, I couldn't stick to anything. And I kept worrying that it would make me less employable.

Same here, and I know a bunch of other people like this as well. It's just a matter of perspective. When you read such forums and similar, you often read opinions and insights of people who are the top of the field. So it's easy to lose the perspective of where you stand compared with the rest of your class or some other cohort.

>>> He's just smart, puts out good projects, and is productive when he needs to be.

Smart is the key word here. More hours of work does not necessarily mean better work. It shouldn't be about working longer, it should be about working smarter.

At the same time, writing good code is only small part of his success, I guess. Managing to ship top quality products without hand holding, making sure you are productive without anyone breathing down your neck, are all important and not something articles will teach you (usually).

> People like that exist and are part of the workforce.

The overwhelming majority of the work force, in fact.
One of the best ways I found of actually getting to write "complete" code outside of the job is to combine it with another hobby or an activity.

RC, home automation, every other silly thing you can make or teaching/volunteering at various places that do coding tutoring (schools, community centers, or even your own kids or family) might help you with that.

That said it only works if you like it, if you already considering programming to be a hobby, it's ok not to.

Not every profession needs to be also a hobby, and you don't need to spend your free time on your profession to be good at it.

I know plenty of developers that don't like technology that much and pretty much dislike IT related stuff specifically, and I know plenty of developers that spend every weekend cloning some project from hack a day.
Both of these groups consist of good, lesser, and poor developers and so far I haven't really seen any substantial statistical proof that hobby programming enables you to become a better developer.

There could be extreme cases in which being a "super weekend hacker" gives you some advantage, especially if you are a single digit employee at startup and you need to hack everything together like crazy without worrying about the finer details, like documentation, maintainability, performance and all the other things that separate a hack job from a product, if your entire professional programming career is about flying solo and pushing out MVP/POC's then effectively one could say you are being paid for a hobby.

But if you are a developer at a large company with an established development life cycle and methodology the small hacks you pick up from your hobby would not really be relevant, hacking micro services on the newest SBC over the weekend won't necessarily help you work better as part of a team, won't necessarily help you write better documentation, and won't necessarily help you adhere to strict coding practices.
About you:

You have a passion for CRUD apps. You dream about CRUD in your sleep.

You attend (or give talks at!) CRUD conferences. Your bookshelf has at least five books on CRUD. You attend CRUDathons, and maybe have won first place in the most READs or most CREATEs category.
As Tomte and jdoliner pointed out, 4 points in 11 minutes would get you on the front page at any time, let alone a slow time like this one. As for why the post would get rapid votes, that's easy: moth-to-flame subject matter.

It's not great to post comments like this taking a thread so badly off topic, let alone jumping to conclusions that the admins are manipulating what is obviously (once you're familiar with it) baseline HN behavior. Love-hate-Go posts are a drug here; and so are all things Rust, which is why those stories are currently #1 and #2. If we did anything to posts like that it would be to downweight them, but I'm tired, and a good pro-and-con language vent seems like a fairly innocuous thing for HN to do overnight (with apologies for our Pacific-timezone-centricity), so have at it.
Same. Probably that's why I usually abandon my side projects ;) well, at least I learn something new every time.

Just sometimes you need to get focused and finish some ugly small issue that prevents you from actually shipping. The feeling of shipping something that works usually beats it all at the end.

The question was "What interpreters did these orgs write in GCed languages?".

It doesn't matter where those interpreters are being used, the fact is that they exist.

> Microsoft's C# CoreCLR is C++.

Yes, but they have moved their compilers to C# with the Rosylin project with MDIL and .NET Native moving more code to C# side.

Also check the Phoenix compiler framework, a LLVM like project from MSR using C#.

> Go's core runtime is in a Go-minus-GC subset.

Of course, there needs to exist a Genesis for the GC, but once it is there, 99% of the remaining infrastructure makes use of it.

If you take Nashorn engine running on Jikes, it is an 100% Java stack running a JavaScript interpreter.

> For whatever reason, when it counts, the stuff under the hood doesn't use garbage collection.

Most of the time it is just building on top of whatever already exists instead of starting from scratch.

Taking Swift as an example bootstraping the language would increase the burden designing it, as they are still far from fully stable design.

If they would throw away in man years invested into the LLVM, which happens to be written in C++, it would take ages before pure Swift compilers would ever manage to catch up.

However these shortcuts open the door for those not savvy in compiler design to use as ammunition against secure languages.

I now have a "more real" panic_fmt in the repository:

#[lang = "panic_fmt"]
extern fn panic_fmt(details: ::core::fmt::Arguments, file: &'static str, line: u32) -> ! {
println!("Panic at {}:{}, {}", file, line, details);
let row_2 = ::gpio::Pin::output(::pins::ROW_2);
let col_3 = ::gpio::Pin::output(::pins::COL_3);
row_2.set_high();
loop {
col_3.set_low();
::busy_loop::wait_approx_ms(5);
col_3.set_high();
::busy_loop::wait_approx_ms(200);
}
}

Note that println! is a macro I defined myself, it writes to the serial port.

I still don’t know about eh_personality, though.
What do you consider so lowly about CRUD work?
CRUD can get pretty sophisticated. In fact my guess is that the majority of applications are some sort of CRUD.

But this isn't about the case, you can always chain your router to an external amplifier (your SNR might be a bit flaky but that's another issue) you can always hard mod your router to do whatever you want.

This is a simple case of the routers adhering to the specs out of the box and that the spec could not be modified via software, and I really haven't seen that many TP Link routers that can actually broadcast outside of the "safe" spec, most of them can be unlocked to use the forbidden channels on 2.4 but their power limits are pretty low.
Because it will be easy to learn coming from a Rails background (or so I have heard). In terms of features I think they are pretty equal.

To me achievements make more sense when you count the community aspect. They can be humorous or motivating while playing standalone, but usually games have their own ways of providing a sense of progression and achievement (or they will be boring!). Achievements become really interesting when you compare them against the community, and you can find extra motivation in "oh, only 10% of the players have managed to do this, lets go for it!".

Further development ideas for retrophies inclued building on this community aspect. Although now that I've discovered retroachievements.org I'm not sure it's worth the duplicated effort :P
