Sub 500ms? Read the solution, read each project file, read the first level of file and folder names in each project, then show the solution explorer. Anything else can go in a background thread which doesn't block building, running, or opening individual files.

Sure. For example, throw a 503 on requesting that URL, or present a captcha. But then feed readers that get caught in the DDOS protection, can't do the captcha, and don't handle errors will fail to get the feed.

Absolutely! I always ask to see the code, and have turned down jobs before because I can see the system is a total train wreck.

I dont expect perfection, and indeed perfection doesn't exist. I also believe that done is better than perfect.

But I have seen some royal clusterfks in my time, and I think it's perfectly reasonable to ask to see the code.

Scaling has its own set of algorithmic challenges; at the small scale there's not much to be gained from asymptotic complexity improvements, but at the scales Google operates at it definitely is the case; I'd wager that a lot of work Google does on its distributed computing platforms involves algorithmic challenges.
I can see the value in that, I don't see how looking across to a browser which has rendered the results of a command piped into a script is the end of the world.

One issue I have with bluring the lines is you open yourself up to a huge attack vector. If I can craft the output of my shell command to get code execution within your terminal I can now do anything, anything on any system you have access to.

> UTF-8 code units space is quite limited by single byte - 0...255

Yes, but no one said "UTF-8 code units space", and its pretty clearly that the "UTF-8 space" intended was the full space representable in UTF-8, not the space representable in a single UTF-8 code unit, so this is not only pedantic, but also a non-sequitur.
If you can't debug with just print statements, you're doing it wrong :)

That's not really right. You can oscillate without constant energy input. Two particles can orbit forever.

But normally that oscillation represents stored energy.

They key to a time crystal is that it's oscillating while it's in a minimum energy state. It would take energy to make it stop moving.

> Because of my ethics re animals, if I'm going to take a life, I want to use every last bit of the animal. This meant capturing the gallons of blood in a five gallon bucket.

I buy whole chickens and part them out myself, and I do use every bit of the chicken that comes in the package. The bones are used for stocks, skin gets rendered for fat, etc. So I like to think I (can?) get using every last bit of the animal.

But I'm curious, what use(s) does the blood have? I was of the impression that like the viscera, the blood is something that necessarily must be disposed -- it cannot safely be used. Is that not the case?

One very good reason to use Qt is QML. It's just such an amazing language to work with for creating GUIs and is also a great way to learn declarative programming. And it is easy to mix QML with logic in either Javascript or C++ if you want to. Every time I work with anything else, like HTML+CSS, I just miss working in QML.

I don't have a lot of experience with Electron apart from working on some Atom packages. Electron seems like a good choice to me if you have existing code or libraries in JS that you want to reuse. Or if you want to make a combined web+standalone app. But if you want something that's fast, cross-platform and fun to develop, I would go for Qt.

> No, science is - literally - knowledge.

No, science is a means of generating (and justifying) beliefs, it is not knowledge itself.
I guess I thought the cost of development would be higher than $128k, so it would be beneficial to the seller to use that as a metric.

One month of an average engineer's time costs an employer around $20k. Could one engineer recreate this product in 6 months working full-time? The maker of codetree probably has a really good idea of how long it takes. If the answer is yes, does the buyer have someone on hand to take this on? if not, you have to hire someone, that takes time. If you don't want to do that, contract it out at double the cost. Then at the end of the day you're now delayed however long it takes to finish the product plus maybe hiring time.

Codetree's initial blogpost says the developer took 6 months working part-time to launch the initial product. Supposing it could be done in 3 months working full-time to get to the latest iteration, cost to develop is $60k + 3 months + 1 engineer or $60k + 3 months + 3 month hiring process + 1 engineer(new hire) or $120k + 3 months + 1 contractor. Pulling an engineer off of a project also adds cost to the project they would have been on had they not left.

I would guess the effective cost of development is $120k + 3 months time, if you want to acquire the product instead, the question becomes how much money would you be willing to pay to have it now (plus negotiation time) instead of 3 months from now?

Bank loans, equity partners, seller financing, and cash are the options I've seen. Equity is harder for a deal this small. But bank loans are a definitely option. If you're in the US I think there are SBA loans that are available too.

This is so true. I don't know how they do it, but it feels as though they're running an experiment (like Segment's[1]) to see when people will stop using the app. It baffles me that I can go from seeing the badged icon (i.e. Snapchat knows that I have a message waiting) to a five-second loading screen for the Snap-taking screen to a three-second loading screen for my recent snaps (with no indicator of the message that I received) to a five-plus-second loading screen for the snap to actually play/show. To make matters worse, that's on wifi.

Yes - it is a possible attack vector but that doesn't necessarily mean it shouldn't be attempted.
Nice article. There's one paragraph that exposes a certain bit of web dev mindset that rubs me the wrong way:

"Updating things as you go also means that parts of the application that get less love tend to be written with an older style [...] and using older technology (like indexOf rather than contains or a for loop rather than reduce)."

That's not "older technology"! You're talking about whether to use some helper methods on Array.prototype. Who cares? It's certainly not any kind of technology choice.

It's really no different from whether you prefer to put your opening curly brace on the same line as an if sentence or the next one. Sure, it's slightly annoying when someone does it differently, but you shouldn't spend any time bikeshedding your codebase over stuff like this.

> As of utf-8 encoding... It is a variable encoding that is capable to encode any 32-bit number: from 0 to 0xFFFFFFFF. Not just current set of 21-bit unicode code points.

You're thinking of an older version of UTF-8 which allowed sequences of up to 6 bytes to be used to encode a single code point. UTF-8 is now defined to not allow code point values above 0x10FFFF and not allow code point values between 0xD800 to 0xDFFF (inclusive) to allow only the same values as possible in UTF-16.

This is a red herring. Name a company that doesn't leave something to be desired. No company is perfect. The idea that Google's imperfections have something to do with their hiring practices is not prima facie ridiculous, but you've offered exactly zero support for it. You're just lobbing out complete conjecture. How does that advance the conversation at all?

I fixed my fair share of Y2K bugs in COBOL in 1998-1999. I agree with you. I know from the work I did then that there would have been some pretty serious, life-disrupting issues had there not been the colossal effort to fix it all (payroll jobs in fact did fail to run, as did financial reports, report cards, etc.).

I'm generally an optimist. I think there will be fairly widespread support for environmental engineering in our state to protect and repair our natural areas. (There already is a lot of that.)

But it looks like a really big, scary problem from the boots-on-the-ground perspective.

Ask HN: What did I get into by accepting this job?
I'm going to be as anon as possible. I've been interviewing a lot, since I need a job out of school. I recently finished interviewing with a company in NYC. The job description was essentially for a fullstack JavaScript Software Engineer.

I passed the interviews. Before the interviews, I stated I was looking at $50k to $60k (come on, that's not a lot for NYC). They said they'll try to do their best.

Today I got the offer: 3-month contract (no staffing firm/recruiter involved) at $30k/year with no benefits.

It's a late stage startup owned by a parent company. I'm accepting it, because unemployment sucks. But come on, $14/hr for a CS graduate with lots of responsibilities is much less than I pay my barber.

Does anyone have advice on how I can make the most out of this? I really can't comprehend how I ended up with this. There was a whiteboarding interview, so it's not like anyone would be accepted. I don't even know what the expectations are, when the salary is so low.

Not sure this is what OP is getting at, but CSS is getting a bit bloated and yet is still unable to fulfill many simple tasks without extra divs and/or JavaScript.

With Flexbox we're soon going to have _sort-of_ solved one painful issue in css - lack of vertical centring, but it's amazing it's taken this long and that the solution is still so ugly.

Larger issues with CSS can't really be solved without breaking backwards compatibility (which will never happen). For example, I wish CSS was more modular and perhaps didn't cascade so freely as it does. It's very rare to see an old site where it's possible to modify the CSS without risking breaking random pages.

Even that is a little contentious though, no? Even if we define sentience as the ability to feel pain (which is a bit of a simplification of sentience), the definition of pain seems fairly vague when talking about non-human animals.

AFAIK for certain groups of animals (one that comes to mind is sharks) it's very unlikely they feel anything approximating what we would call pain. Still, I imagine few advocates would say that eating shark meat is ethical behavior.

Certain animals could barely be said to do anything approximating feeling pain besides responding to external stimuli, which plants do as well.

It's a fascinating, complex topic though.
> Side note, if you truly believe carnivorous diets are barbaric, than you'd probably also have to kill all the carnivorous animals (especially considering many of them torture their prey, rather than quickly killing it).

I don't understand your logic. If we can't stop all suffering in the world, we should participate and financially support it?

I assume you are against rape, and for this reason, you are not a rapist. The fact that some species mainly use rape as a reproductive strategy will convince you that raping is somehow ethical?

Regarding animals being accidentally killed in the harvesting of plant foods, do some research on veganic farming. We are moving in the right direction, your "all or nothing" argument is not very productive.

Here are some counter-arguments, for anyone who might be considering the dilemma:

> It's too hard on my own.

It can be, but it really does depend on the scale of what you're making: there's a large class of games that aren't too difficult for individuals, and a large class that are; and, in the class of approachable games, there are still fun, interesting, novel projects that can be undertaken.

> It involves a lot of planning.

This is one thing you'll learn to find a balance with by writing games. There is too much and too little planning. Don't worry too much about making them the 'right' way to begin with. In my own case I intentionally didn't look up any info. on the correct way of making games until I'd tried my own way first (which is much more fun and worked out fine). After doing that, looking up established practices was way more interesting (and my own approaches were laughably bad in comparison—but ya learn!).

> It's a big time investment.

Some are, some aren't. As others have mentioned, you can make a quick game in two days or so. More importantly though, I'd say to try it out and see if you enjoy the process: if you don't, then the time investment probably will be too much, and you could end up spoiling your love for games in general. If you do enjoy it then, whatever the final outcome of the game, it was time well spent.

> I won't really be able to make something worthwhile.

You may get ambitious about it one day after you've developed your skills to a certain extent, and find yourself with a greater interest in sharing an experience through your game than in working on it. If you get to that point, you're now in the realm of working on art, and that's got its own whole host of difficulties.
