I have to ask...did you invest in either Nvidia or AMD? They both had huge gains in the past year.
Remember that 52% of the UK voted to leave the EU which leaves the other 48% hurt that you paint us with the same brush. Such a big decision should have been a two thirds majority. I live in London and work as a software developer for a big investment bank. These institutions are more IT companies than what people traditionally think they are. A huge portion of the floors are for IT developers, a small number for trading and the rest for admin. My point is that the revenue generation part of the bank could move anywhere but the IT remains where they can find a large pool of financial software skills. Here for now.

The big investment banks are struggling to be profitable these days and it has nothing to do with Brexit or the EU. After the financial crisis in 2007 they have had to hold more and more capital and be more transparent about their complex transactions. And rightly so. In order to be competitive they build software that lets them comply with the regulations as tightly as possible, to maximize profit. The more the financial regulators see the more they regulate. Smaller institutions like hedge funds don't bare such a high burden. My building has been quietly emptying out for two years and so are the others. The giants are dying but it's not because of Brexit. I see purely software companies and specialist hedge funds taking over in this area in the future.

Truth be told, Brexit will hurt the EU more than it will hurt the UK and I won't hold any grudges if the EU member states fought hard to defend their union. If they impose punishing import and export duties on us then it will most likely not be out of spite but to protect them from other member states leaving too. Picture yourself on the other side of the fence, what would you do?

And one last thing, the EU was created to economically tie as many countries in Europe together so they would all depend on each other for resources. That way no one country could start world war three. By design it should maintain connections and dependencies regardless of what localized people living in it desire in the short term. Making member states more wealthy and comfortable is secondary.
There's no fear about accuracy - the plan is that Galileo will charge for high precision services. Indeed, you can buy centimeter-precision GPS services right now for applications like surveying and precision farming [1] - those are small markets, of course; self-driving cars are the real prize.

The objection from the US amounted to the fact an early Galileo design would have reduced their ability to degrade satellite navigation in war zones. Later the design was changed, so the US can jam Galileo - which avoids the US objection, but makes Galileo less useful as a backup.

agree, plus this wreaks of the "safe-space" culture pervading modern times
Once thing not mentioned here is that starting a business is usually a major commitment to staying somewhere, and you may not want to be prepared to make that kind of years-long commitment to a particular place. Sure, it's all exciting at first, but you may not like it long-term. I ran a successful publishing business in Japan, which kept me interested and happy, but it was a huge challenge to get the company to the stage where we could sell and leave. Problems multiply if your business does not do well. You may be stuck with tons of debt, in a foreign country, with very little support. Start small, make sure you have customers, and grow safely.
Because although I'm fine with swearing everyone else judges me harshly when my 3 year old says 'fuck'
Try Kotlin - much easier, works with java and js and still have many functional features.
The immature thing to do would be to make things worse for the other side, at no gain to your own side. No one is suggesting anything of the sort.
Thanks! :) Fixing now.
Are there any stats about the average return on the options handed out? It seems most people have a few fail stories, or an unusual success story... not much of a sample size to go on.

Yes we are over complicating it, but that it primarily about trying to take what is essentially an artistic process and turning it into a regimented process (a known hard problem).

Rob Gingell at Sun stated it as a form of uncertainty principal. He said, "You can know what features are in a release or when the release will ship, but not both." It captured the challenge of aspirational feature development where someone says "we have to have feature X" and so you send a bunch of smart engineers off to build it but there is no process by which you can start with an empty main function and build it step by step into feature X.

That said, it got worse when we separated the user interface from the product (browser / webserver). And you're rants about microservices and continuous integration are really about releases, delivery, and QA. (the 'delivery time' of Gingell's law above).

These are complexities introduced by delivery capabilities that enable different constructions. The story on HN a few days about about the JS graphics library is a good example of that. Instead of linking against a library on your computer to deliver your application with graphics, we have the capability of attaching to a web service with a browser and assembling on demand the set of APIs and functions needed for that combination of client browser / OS. Its a great capability but to pull it off requires more moving parts.
I've read most of the Wikileaks materials. I've taken them with a grain of salt because there is strong evidence that Assange does not have control of Wikileaks, and therefore it's very difficult to trust the entirely of the corpus.

Even if I take all of them as 100% verified, I am certainly not "chilled" the way you are. Nor do I think having IT fuckups should be a federal crime. Given how shit both R and D party security is, I suspect the private email servers are actually afforded a bit of security by being obscure.

And the only aspersion I've thrown your way is that this allegation of "codespeak" is rubbish and lead people to dangerous actions on the grounds of "PizzaGate". I don't agree with your picture of reality, but I think you're an adult capable of recognizing this and therefore should be responsible for your viewpoints in a public discussion forum you choose to engage in.

If I didn't feel that way, I wouldn't reply. You wouldn't be responsible for your actions.
Completele free and open is going to be difficult. Even the already existing and announced RISC-V boards you have non open hard or software involved. Its still going to be a huge step foreward.

But I think within the next year or two, we should get something that can run Linux resonable well and is mostly open.

Actuall production laptops is going to be difficult. Im rather waiting for "build it yourself laptop" kits, or something along those lines.

There are allready projects like it, for other hardware.

Maybe somebody from SiFive or lowRISC can comment. They probebly have the best information.
Saying magic words in legalese that sound "right" to the choir in the court of public opinion is necessary but not sufficient to see through to overturning standing precedent in courts of law.

What's even more frustrating is that the startup in question is actually doing pretty well for itself. It just doesn't have a liquidity event in the near future. On paper my stock looks really good right now but is just out of reach.
Aside from engineering/software development (which is maybe 10-20% of the job market), the average college grad only makes about $40k in Silicon Valley out of college.

Future referendums on leaving the EU, in core EU countries. There are more or less advanced plans or propositions in many EU countries although none have yet had a proper referendum (and doing so in a Eurozone country would be more complicated than Brexit)
My opinion is my opinion.
Not as much as you'd think compared to the UK, when it comes to income tax for example. In the UK, you hit the 40% bracket from £43K, in France that's only at €71K ! Granted, France has a 30% bracket from 26-71K€, in the UK it's 20% from £11-43K.

Capital gains taxes are slightly higher in France, so is corporation tax for big companies (much higher), and there are definitely higher labour taxes on French salaries, but there's no comparison in terms of what public services you get for that money (it includes unemployment insurance, child benefits, comprehensive health care, and a state pension you can actually live on, amongst other things)
>To exercise the notion of entertaining thoughts we don't agree with, let's write out a very uncomfortable sentence that might be uttered by Mark Z: "I don't want to build private offices because that would be a competitive
disadvantage and handicap Facebook's ability to innovate."

Did that sentence make your eyeballs hurt? Good. If the programming community can't honestly engage with people executives who feel the truth of the above statement in their heart, the discussion on the topic will go nowhere. Showing news articles such as the one by Lindsey won't convince them.

An executive, including Mark, can be an arsehole and hold any kind of BS opinion (e.g. "I can't hire women and/or pay them the same, because they are not as good as men").

If they can't see why something is bad for their employees, fuck them. It's not like they run the only game in town.

And "it's good for the bottom line" is not an excuse. All kinds of shit can be good for the bottom line, including illegal practices (e.g. blackmailing foreign employees that you'll have them deported).
The situation is different, in that you don't necessarily have the right to choose your coworkers or teammates as you would your friends.

And no, I'm not promoting a Stalinist regime by suggesting that people be considerate of the feelings of others.

As an aside, and probably why I replied in the first place, is that I feel people are just too extreme nowadays. Everything is offensive to everybody, including getting offended of others being offended. People can't swear freely without eventually offending somebody, but people can't object to offense without being belittled. The extreme component of this is that nobody has chosen to pick their battles, instead further entrenching themselves in an ideology of moot points rather than a focus towards conflict resolution. I feel many of the comments in here are representative of this.

I'm hopeful that people realize that there's a middle ground to all of this, but folks on both sides don't seem to care.

Sorry for my rant.
Why do you think there are no experts cornering the HFT potential gains? Is the market just too small/unstable?
Individual regional immigration offices and the individual clerks at them have pretty substantial latitude with regards to how they interpret the regulations. Another similar issue is how much salary you need to have to "self-sponsor" one of the professional visas (which is a thing which isn't really anticipated in the written regulations per se but can be finangled out of Immigration). The amount can, depending on the whims of the examining clerk, be "3 million yen", "300k yen per month", "at least as much as a Japanese person in your line of work", "enough to not be a burden on the public purse", "at or above the average income in this prefecture", etc.

(I will pause to say that if you'd trust an HN comment over the advice of your lawyer it is time to get a new lawyer.)
Thanks for the link! Will definitely have a look! :)
Apple is sitting on so much cash. I never understood why they couldn't throw a couple BILLION dollars at a long term project to eliminate bugs from its software. Instead they have had tons of regressions with almost every major release. This hurts their bottom line and reputation.

Apple developed Swift and GCD, they could have pioneered new levels of reliability and revived Dijkstra's focus on provably correct practices. They could have gotten their reputation for "it just works" back and then some. Why don't they? Do they care anymore?

Other areas:

* Network and social. Why not get this right? Ping was their best attempt, seriously?

* Voice. They let others own this space after buying Siri? Why? You are rolling out interfaces for cars and homes and you don't care about people associating you with "smart and natural interfaces"? What happened to the Mac standing out for being easy to interact with?

Instead they invest it in some shadowy fund that makes safe investments. At least use 1% of your money on this every year you guys! What is wrong with you? Haven't you learned from every other company that has stopped innovating along the lines of what they were known for?
> A female shark separated from her long-term mate...

Aw. Do most sharks exhibit long-term pair bonding?
At this point, I think a lot of software development problems are complicated because we are building on a platform that really isn't designed for the apps we want. The web makes everything a lot more frustrating and hard. It complicates testing and requires a lot more process than is justified by the apps. At some point the era of the web will come to and end then maybe we will get a net gui (probably based on messaging) that will hopefully take the lessons of the web to heart.

My guess is that he's using a compiled language such as Rust or Go, with a lightweight non-blocking framework, plus intelligent caching of backend queries, plus a decent backend such as Sphinx or PostgreSQL.

Compare with interpreted languages for the frontend and Java monsters as backends (PHP and Lucene anyone?)

People forget what modern computers are really capable of, when used properly.
>"My goal every year is to help Go developers. "

I believe that if one were truly concerned with helping Go developers, they'd be helping them migrate to a more productive, more community-driven language, such as Rust or Elixir, depending on their needs.

It is the doom of Go to remain Google's play-thing and that has and will continue to lead to choices at odds with the needs of most developers.
You are correct. We cargo-cult Google and Facebook so much that we forget to apply lessons learned decades ago. People and interactions over processes and tools. There is no silver bullet. You Ain't Gonna Need It.
I find it very unlikely that we'll "solve" this problem. At best we'll just deal with the effects and survive accordingly.

1. The majority of the world isn't even on par with say, France, in terms of their contribution to this problem. It's only going to get worse as they develop (finally).

2. Those living in the countries that contribute the most aren't going to pay the price, figuratively or literally. Would you take an 80% paycut to eradicate this problem? Probably not. Would you not have children (who will comparatively consume, and therefore contribute far more than 3rd world children)? Probably not. This line of thinking is obviously a part of the problem.
What are the legacy GPS system stats? Its kinda important to compare before deciding the Russians hacked them.

Its surprisingly difficult to find real, detailed data about the GPS system. The block II first production run of GPS sats that were launched around 1990 and decommissioned in at most 17 years had a design life of a pitiful 7 years and used dual Rb clock and Cs clocks. I'm not sure the modern block details are declassified. Anyway the failure rate for Galileo seems consistent with a "less than a decade design life" I'm not sure block IIIa is even finished designing yet.

People have this peculiar idea that "the gps satellite" was launched one time in the 80s and its been running ever since... not so, gosh there must have been a hundred or so launched over the last couple decades.

I have some limited experience with Rb-standards and on the ground in telco land you'll get an amazing song and dance from the mfgr about how in theory they should run for eternity but being a vacuum tube (actually conceptually closer to a fluorescent light) they do wear out and end up on ebay after a decade or so for ham radio microwave and EME operators to do peculiar things with them cheaply. Not good enough to run a data center is still stable enough to help bounce signals off the moon.

I have no experience with hydrogen standards they don't even appear on ebay in my price range. Again perhaps its normal for them to wear out, etc.

So Rb standards "should" die off on a regular basis. Possibly the biggest classified secret of the entire GPS project MIGHT be you have to massively overspec your clocks or you get an economic kill shot of spending a billion bucks (rubles, euros) on something that only runs six months LOL shoudda just licensed our technology that learned the lessons the hard way in developmental block I satellites in the mid 80s.
Video really is a terrible way to make an argument, or teach most skills (there's some educational uses it's good for but they are few and far between). I have no idea why so many people seem to prefer it.
I think your suggestion we watch the video and make our own decision is unreasonable and made in poor faith. An hour is quite a long time to spend watching a presentation by a man who is notoriously untrustworthy, based on his prior history at the University of Colorado and Macquarie University.

Since I am not a scientist in the field of climate change, I do not feel the need to convince myself that scientific consensus is correct by examining the raw evidence myself -- in fact, I suspect that doing could only mislead and cause confusion, since I am not trained in how to analyze and interpret that sort of data. Therefore, I defer to the scientific consensus. The opinions espoused by a very small minority of climate scientists that disagree with that consensus do not trouble me, particularly when these scientists have been fired from multiple research institutions, since I cannot be sure they are operating in good faith.
> Not every database is a transactional database.

Huh? It was my understanding that Redshift was a fork of PostgreSQL and is therefore not only transactional but also relational.

Simple Google search confirms transactions in Redshift: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/dg/r_BEGIN.html
Yeah, and the visual patterns seem to somehow relate to the character of the sounds. I've always wondered if I'm seeing a 2D spectrogram of the sound, or something similar.
CSS and design skills have nothing to do with having JavaScript disabled.
I quickly glanced over the post, it looks great. This kind of rebuttal is more convincing to a misinformed audience than saying, "the guy is bad".
On the other hand, the frustration from people continuously spreading scientifically wrong ideas is understandable.
It certainly could hurt. Most lead developers don't respond well to their codebase being refactored by someone more junior without prior discussion. I kind of agree with the sentiment, because all that refactoring has to be reviewed before anything can be done with it.
Excellent read. Official package management looks more about 'when' than 'if' now. As someone in Java world who did not graduated to Maven/Gradle and stuck to ANT I hope it will be minimalistic and immediately useful to Go users.
Just a little (to me, important) correction: You mean 52% of the UK THAT voted. The turnout was 72%. So 37% of the electorate (not 37% of the population, as a lot of young people that would like a saying in such a drastic change that will affect them the most, couldn't get their voice heard either).
Seriously? These are lectures. Did you attend lectures in college? Why? Why didn't you just read the book?

Lectures serve a valuable purpose to most of us. If you could just read your way to an engineering degree, that would be awesome, but somehow, it helps to have somebody talk you through things. Haven't you found that to be true?
I love that instead of arguing that women don't do that, you argue that they do and it's OK. Wow. Glad I don't work in an American office.

It's completely unreasonable to expect some underdog architecture to get anywhere close to the big ones, which have pured dozens of billions of dollars into research over decades to optimize their designs, tooling and fabrication.

A reasonable expectation is to get some low-end-ish CPUs out that might be on the same level (in terms of efficiency) than older, not really optimised ARM designs.

The biggest incentive RISC-V can offer is less legacy bullshit (like AArch64) and the fact that you don't have to pair royalties to ARM. Perhaps better standardisation of peripherals compared to ARM, so less time/money spent on integration, BSPs and stuff like that.

(And even then: Looking at recent POWER one can see that they can outperform related Intel offerings, while being drastically less efficient.)
