Startups are not big companies, which is what the article was largely talking about.
People did have children and they lived in cities before suburbs were developed in the 1940s and 1950s, though, so it has to be possible.
I'm not sure how it's possible but it's definitely not rare. Lodash' methods are faster than their respective native implementations (Lodash `map` > `Array.prototype.map`).
If your platform connects you to arbitrary users worldwide, why wouldn't you expect to get garbage from any joe blow that happens upon your project and feels like saying something stupid? What are these other platforms outside the "very few" that somehow prevent that?

Besides, the best you can do is take action after the fact, not avoid being subjected to it, unless you cut yourself off or have weird vetting barriers between you and others, instead of an open communication platform.
Violence against Trump supporters? I watch live feeds from rallies on both sides.

I've seen Democrats calling out to protesters and hecklers, suggesting that those protesters are wasting their time trying to gain support for their candidate, and reminding them of the expectation of civil discourse. Mocking, sure, but not "hate speech" (if you'll forgive the loaded term) and not violence.

I've seen Republicans punch, kick, slap and spit on protesters and hecklers, and shouting that they have no right to be there. Demanding the arrest of the protester, in some cases, with the candidate actually suggesting that, back when "America was great", the police would've locked them up sooner, or that the person who had the audacity to speak out would often be carried out on a stretcher. That seems quite violent to me.

I'll admit I may have missed something, as I can't watch every rally, but I've watched an equal number from both sides as far as I can recall.

There is a lot to digest there...

Banks can be in the 'burbs, but when most were incorporated, it was beneficial to be next to the exchanges and to government (both the fed office and the feds, etc.) but some have moved to Raleigh or RTP... And, for some a big skyscraper = prestige.

>There is 'not that much to do' in Palo Alto

For people without kids this makes a difference --it makes a difference to the newly independent, the ones in fraternities and sororities, they want to continue their partying. For people with kids, even if they live in the city, most nights are spent at home -unless they are one of those "power" people who must "rub elbows".

>how many truly innovative companies were ever created in the city

I think that's just a coincidence. As you point out, lots of universities are in the burbs (Cheap land for a nice campus and dorms) and a nice place to start on your idea with your mates/pals/etc.

In addition, till recently, companies had to "build things" physical things and it's easier to build those things where there was land. There is a reason Toyota isn't in the center of Tokyo. But nowadays where the product is non-physical, we do see some innovative companies begin in expensive cities.

>A lot of great Universities seem to be out in nowhere-land as well

True, but there is the exception of Boston.
why does the "cost of an engineer" continue to keep going massively up whenever these comparisons are made?

$430k? are netflix engineers that special?

glassdoor shows sr engineers around $200k - i can't tell if they're including stock/bonus in that or not. Range start in $120k range. Yes, taxes, yes benefits, but... $430k?
Yet, when they need distribution centers --where do they go for real-estate? Where do AMZN, GOOG, MSFT, etc., go for their DCs? That's right, not in downtown.
Please just stop. Have we really become so blindly partisan as a nation that we complain about uneven distribution of evidence of corruption rather than the corruption itself? Ponder that for a moment, please.
I am a big fan of "testing via types".

Unit tests can demonstrate that my code is correct; it can say nothing about how my code is used by others.

In contrast, a type system can extend those protections downstream.

(Yes, yes, unless you go way off the deep end of dependent types, you still need tests. But a powerful type system can systemically prevent a huge number of very common bugs.)
You two seem to have completely opposite impressions of the same city. Is it really that big? Or just subjective?

I have spent almost 3 years now writing code(with very few or no tests) and my current organization stresses on agile practices a lot.I encountered TDD from here.So I would like to chip in here too.

TDD solved a major problem for me which I have seen a lot of people suffer with. _Where do I start ?_ . The thing is TDD and refactoring go hand in hand. I cannot imagine doing TDD if I was not using an IDE like Intellij or something. When you normally start writing code first(typical TLD) then you need to have a plan before hand.
This plan cannot change much because you really do not get feedback till you complete major segments of the code. TDD ensures you keep getting nibble sized feedbacks which assure you that what you are writing works. This according to me is the single most beneficial point of the system. TDD or TLD would allow maintainable code too.And often while doing TDD too,you can strictly follow TDD. It might not have an impact on code quality for seasoned developers(coding for years on the same codebase) but it does help for the others .It also reduces my inertia considerably too. So while it might not have impacts on development time or code quality. I tend to sleep well without large UML Diagrams floating in my head and knowing that each unit of my code works independently.

It's equivalent in the eyes of the families and communities in which these civilian deaths are occurring. And, I think you're naive to say that we don't target civlians. The MSF hospital strike was clearly intentional -- it may not have come as an order from the top (the strike was authorized by regional commanders), but the feeble attempt at discipline (there were no criminal charges) is essentially a go-ahead for other low level actors to engage in the same behavior.

The US government paid out a pathetic $6000 to families of the dead civilians. I'm guessing that didn't quite break the bank.

Reminds me of a comment by Harry Roberts on CSS methodologies https://twitter.com/csswizardry/status/539726989159301121

Modularity, DRY, SRP, etc. is never a goal, *it’s a trait*.

Extrapolating from that, perhaps it's worth considering the benefits of thinking about system design before you code.
> We already pay plenty of taxes

Who is we? And by what standard is "plenty" measured?

Less tax revenue will result in less accomplished by government; it's inevitable. Already, important programs are cut in the US and UK. For example, as people were dying the US Congress wouldn't fund Zika virus research, and CDC (or NIH) shifted resources from Ebola research and/or treatment. The US military has clearly stated they cannot defend the country and accomplish their mission with current funding.

People can always claim they can 'trim the fat', etc.; it's just words; a promise of something for nothing, government services without having to pay for them. It's been used by politicians for as long as taxes have existed.

I'd be interested in serious research showing where such inefficiencies exist and what can be done, but the claim by itself isn't substantive.

I don't think Java needs any help in that department given how crazy popular it is.

The mainstream press has already interfered with the election process (which has probably been going on for decades). Wikileaks just brought this to our attention.

It's sad that if not for Wikileaks, we would have complete and utter political bias from almost every single mainstream media outlet.

A CNN reporter even said that we shouldn't pay attention to the content of the Wikileaks because it is 'illegal' and we should only listen to what the press tells us.

It's one of the things that currently reminds me of Russia: the state-owned media.

Tests are most useful when refactoring someone else's long-forgotten code; the sort of thing that happens frequently in long-running projects consisting of large teams. In other words, the "real world".

Why are they not focusing their efforts on getting data from the insurance companies? They obviously will have far more detailed records on this.

Another question I have is if a car is in an accident and it is proven to be the AI's fault how liable will the manufacturer be?

I've tried to TDD numerous times in my professional career; I'm confident it works for many. I prefer to use white-box as my second pass through at my algorithm. It allows me to identify potential weaknesses, write test cases around them and correct them in one step. I never feel quite as secure with TDD as I do with post-hoc testing. I'm also not going to tell other people that's the one-true-path. Unit tests? Critical. Before vs. after? Personal.

With respect to this study, I think at best we can say that equal quality tests yield equal results. I don't think -- based on reviewing the methodology -- that the headline can clearly be drawn from the study.

What version of Mercurial were you using? Additionally, was your repository very branchy? Were your pulls stuck for a very long time on 'adding manifests'?

It's possible that your slow pulls were due to the initial storage format being inefficient for very branchy repositories. I've documented migrating to generaldelta to solve this here: https://book.mercurial-scm.org/read/scaling.html#scaling-rep...

Additionally, using the 'clonebundles' feature, it's possible to speed up your initial clone by a huge amount (making it way faster than non-clonebundles Mercurial or Git): https://book.mercurial-scm.org/read/scaling.html#improving-s...

It may be unfair to say this in response to the parent comment, but the great majority of HN discussions start with a comment like this one: It's seriously flawed, etc. Occasionally it's true, but the noise drowns out the signal.

In a graduate-level engineering class, the students were making similar statements about all the studies we read. One day the professor said: It's easy to find flaws in someone else's work; humans are flawed. The real challenge and benefit is to find the value in their work - find what has lasting value, learn from it, and carry it forward.
Yes, he did. Johnson was forced out of the primaries by Sen. McCarthy.

I should get better stats. 4.5M users, 6 nodes split between 3 datacenters. Each node has 16 CPUs. 2158341079 total write transactions (over 8 years); not sure how many read (10-100x more?). I'll try to get better stats on peak read/write transactions per second. Not sure the total number of rows of the largest table (that actually takes a long time to count).

Counting "failures" is difficult -- if it breaks, it's because of some bug in our application logic (eg, our stored procedure). Most of our restarts are due to normal maintenance and upgrades. In the history of the company there were a handful of core problems to the logic (generally as we encountered some weird edge case for the first time), but I can't remember the most recent.

Regardless, I'll try to get better data on this. Thanks for asking!
I agree. At least for me it was a common pattern that by fixing a bug I've introduced another (sometimes suprising one), and by fixing that I've introduced another and so on. I would have given it up without strong editor support giving hints on the fly.

(I don't remember similar experiences learning other languages even with strong static checks (e.g. haskell). Either my errors were 1 level deep there, or the propagation of errors (like changing a type somewhere) was easier to follow/predict to me)
Ahhhh your right. The revenue per subscriber is per month.
Spurting out 'false dichotomy' and stating that I haven't provided the necessary treatise of evidence is kind of ridiculous. I hope you can see how pretentious that sounds.

If a news organization only exists because the Koch brothers own it and it operates at a loss, its primary purpose isn't to serve unbiased news, but propaganda.

Contrast that to a news agency or journalist whose existence is funded only through subscriptions, with zero advertising. These type of agencies are not subservient to a Murdoch, a pharma company, or anybody. They only have to interest their readership sufficiently.

Of course there is still bias. But now you have multiple viewpoints. If the only news you're getting is from papers owned by billionaires or heavily moderated forums owned by billionaires, then good luck.

I would agree with you that sending money to Fox News isn't going to help with the bias much.

The mistake is in creating unrefactorable code. TDD may be a possible solution if done correctly but there are other ways to skin that cat.
The

* fire your QA team

* dev team is the level 2 production support, and

* get to continuous integration nirvana

management fads have been sweeping through my Scrum enterprise for the last 18 months.

Teams that aren't testing constantly, well, they've got tons of escape defects on every release. And those devs are constantly in fire-fighting mode, it's miserable for them. And I see that leading to compressed schedules for them and more reckless behavior like asking to push their releases during the holidays where there could be severe financial consequences to bugs.

As far as I'm concerned, in an environment like mine, where developers can no longer hide their incompetence behind bureaucracy like a QA team, it is official insanity to not spend inordinate amounts of development time writing automated tests. You should be spending 70% of your dev time writing tests and doing devops and 30% writing features.

I read in these comments a lot of bellyaching about how much time it takes to write tests. First, TDD is a skill that you can get good at, and it won't take as much time as you think once you get good. Second, I just don't think you have a choice to not test comprehensively when escape defects become a mark of shame in the organization.

I don't think this was some kind of wordplay attempt around dealing a deck of cards. Hopefully they're just "dealing with" the information instead. Typos in statements proclaiming how safe and secure they are...

The concept seems fine, I think some of this is already possible with other card issuers. I doubt I would pay a $49 annual fee for the service when there are free cards available.

How could WikiLeaks be interpreted as anything other than promoting civil liberties? Its sole purpose is to expose the corrupt behind-the-curtain dealings of leaders and political elite---to give power to the people and remove it from the corrupt.

If you want to assign responsibility for these leaks, assign it on the people who have taken action: the hackers who obtained them and the organization that published them.

Neither the writers nor recipients in this exchange bear responsibility for their exchange being published without their consent.
And I think you're being overly negative :- ) I think there are lots of places on the internet, where people are friends and want to help each other and are honest.

I'm getting the impression that you think that by default, people mindlessly copy the behaviour of others, and don't spend any time thinking themselves. Perhaps contact their friends to downvote a comment. And that they try to game the system & cheat, and fight with each other and want a revenge.

I don't think that happens as often as you seem to think.
— For example, I think downvotes here at HN works fairly okay, and at StackOverflow and related sites. They're not perfect, but better than nothing IMO.

Also remember that all the Disagree vote does, is to show that many disagree. It doesn't hide the comment. So in the cases it gets abused, it won't matter much, in comparison to here at HN or Reddid, where it can be used to censor.
