The problem is that without a catapult the takeoff weight and therefore range and armament of any aircraft is greatly reduced. That's a problem fundamental to the Wasp class.

It's not bikeshedding. Who the fuck wants to work for a company called Cockroach Labs? Seriously, sure your tech friends and recruiters might appreciate it on your resume but anyone outside of tech? Applying for an apartment, mortgage, car, lol good luck. And also not too sure that anyone outside the immediate tech/startup nerd scene would appreciate it other.

That aside why the hell do I want to thing of cockroaches day in and day out when I am using their product? Seriously, is this someone's idea of a bad joke?

OK, so now this is out, how about we discuss what is actually in this release!

The sort pkg now has a convenience for sorting slices, which will be a nice shortcut instead of having to define a special slice type just to sort on a given criteria, you can just pass a sorting function instead.

HTTP/2 Push is now in the server, which is fun, but like context might take a while for people to start using in earnest. Likewise graceful shutdown. Is anyone experimenting with this yet?

Plugins are here, but on Linux only for now - this will be interesting long term for things like server software which wants to let other compile plugins for it and distribute them separately, presently that has to be compiled in to the main binary.

Performance: GC times are now down to 10-100 microseconds, and defer and cgo are also faster. Compilation time improving but still not close to 1.4.

GOPATH is optional now, but you still do need a path where all go code is kept, perhaps eventually this requirement will go away - GOPATH/pkg is just a cache, GOPATH/bin is just an install location, and GOPATH/src could really be anywhere, so I'm not sure if long term a special go directory is required at all if vendoring takes off, then import paths could be project-local.

There's a slide deck here with a rundown of all the changes from Dave Cheney:

Finally, as someone using Go for work and play, thanks to the Go team and everyone who contributed to this release. I really appreciate the incremental but significant changes in every release, and the stability of the core language.

> I agree, I wonder if C++/Java would have gone down the exception path if they had multiple return values? Its it seems to me exceptions are really a special kind of return value that doesn't clobber your single return value.

Because of constructors, I don't think they would have eschewed exceptions. Constructors don't return any value (in both C++ and Java ABI terms, they are implemented as void functions!) anyways, so having the "I don't know how to do what your arguments told me to do" be indicated via an exception being thrown is an intentional model rather then using return codes.

One of the much trumpeted features of the QE class is they were going to be modular and upgradable to cats and traps for little cost

Realistically that was never going to happen. We were never going to have steam catapults because a) where would we get the steam with no reactor (and no-one uses conventional steam turbines anymore) and b) steam catapults aren't reliable in arctic waters, which is why previous British and Russian carriers used ski-jumps. And we weren't going to have EMALS either because again, with no nuke where would we get the electrical power?

But the REAL reason is that British Aerospace is involved in the F35 programme and couldn't take the risk that we might shop elsewhere, say Dassault, so they fucked up the design entirely deliberately. Someone should be in jail for that, or at least lose their final-salary pension.

> you should do it in <20ms

I've heard perfection needs less than 7ms latency. That's over 140 FPS, possibly higher if you have any kind of double buffering.
I think that's even more scary. You're confirming that you've halted development on the Marathon-UI-for-Mesos because you are resource constrained. I've got a working Mesos+Marathon cluster. The marathon part is now a dead-end, but more importantly, I now know that dead-ending a user is an option for Mesosphere: and its either because Mesosphere doesn't care, or because it does care, but is so resource constrained that it has no choice. Either option is a huge red-flag.

I wish you had forked it. If you're resource constrained and need to meet goals for LargeCorp, then fork the entire front-end/back-end. The approach of just ditching the UI half of the app while you iterate the same backend but with the DC/OS UI is really what's causing the grief here.

> (though now refined)

That's exactly the point. Google didn't start with that mission, it had to be refined. And Google, meaning Larry and Sergey working on algo's prior to actually starting a commercial entity. The parent's point is that many of the most successful tech investments have come from businesses that are generally dismissed as toys in their initial phases. YC invests in companies at their earliest stage, so it seems odd that the mission statement needs to be so well refined. This invariably means there's a disconnect between what pg has traditionally said and what sama is dictating now.

> Don't be discouraged if what you produce initially is something other people dismiss as a toy. In fact, that's a good sign. That's probably why everyone else has been overlooking the idea. The first microcomputers were dismissed as toys. And the first planes, and the first cars. At this point, when someone comes to us with something that users like but that we could envision forum trolls dismissing as a toy, it makes us especially likely to invest.

http://paulgraham.com/organic.html

Anyway, I think the reason that sama says this is because it is absolutely essentially for a company to get big, but that doesn't mean they need to have it right away. Also, let's be fair, determining something that is clear and important is very subjective.

I guess where I disagree with you is that I don't think civil law can be the definition of "if someone has been harmed". Otherwise there really is no point to these parts of the Constitution. Among other things, the Constitution defines things that they can't make a law against. Don't you see why the law can't also be the definition of what the exceptions to that amendment are? That interpretation is literally saying "you can't make a law against X unless the law says X is against the law". It's circular logic. I get that it's a tough line to draw but that makes zero sense as the line.

I think the answer lies in the small plot in the article: Difficulty vs Complexity.

As the intrinsic complexity of the problem at hand increases, the (intrinsic) difficulty of using Excel just rockets after a certain point.

The more experienced R-user have a lower threshold of preferring R over Excel, since the (accidental) difficulty of using R is low enough for them to do even trivial stuff. It might be much smarter and faster to do the same thing in Excel for just about everyone else.

On the other hand, if people with no previous programming experience whatsoever keep building excel-workflows for larger and larger problems, it WILL turn into a catastrophically incomprehensible mess eventually, since they know no other alternatives than hitting the complexity wall.

(For myself - a fairly decent professional programmer, it requires a bit of swearing and stackoverflow to use R since although a solid core, a lot of syntax and conventions are decidedly non-cs... But so does Excel.)
Well, for one thing you need to understand the difference between racist prejudice and racism. It's quite important.

As for the rest, sure there's black people who are anti-Semitic, but I've never seen one using anti-Semitism "ironically" as a form of self-promotion. This "Look at me, I'm so edgy" behaviour really does seem to be restricted to white people. (At least in the West.)

Want to talk actual racism? Take a look at the habit the press have of giving white people like Ryan Lochte the benefit of the doubt, whilst not extending the same privilege to black lawbreakers like Eric Holder.
Note that it's not really about using go, but more about implementing routing on client side : you lose http status for non api urls, whatever the backend language is.

But then again, when you have static pages for public facing (and indexed) pages, and you have proper http status for api requests, having or not http status on web client urls is not that a big deal, so that's probably why it's not often mentioned.

The only problem it could cause is if someone makes a deep link to somewhere in your app, it will return a 200 status and will be indexed by bots, probably indexing login form for just any url, so that's the annoying point (huge trolling possibilities, btw, there :) ).

Depending on what the deleted functionality is, vulnerabilities in that functionality may not affect you anyway even if you're using NTP Classic. If you're not using that functionality to begin with, then it's hard to be affected by vulnerabilities in it. I say "depending on what it is" because of course you can have functionality that, even though you don't care about it, you still can't actually turn off (e.g. a protocol server that implements commands you don't care about, but can't disable).

It's not clear to me offhand whether the NTP Classic functionality that NTPsec deleted is the type that doesn't affect you if you don't use it, or if it's the type that can't be disabled.
Hey Sam,

Here's a question for you (or other YC folks) on YC recommendations.

Give that I'm planning to apply for the next cycle, would it benefit me to ask for recommendations from 7 or 8 folks who I've worked with in the past and have strong relationships with?

It's not totally clear to me whether it would be kosher to ask for those or if it's something you'd rather that people do spontaneously. I'm also wondering if 7 or 8 is too many given how little time I know you have to spend on each applicant. Thanks!

> I listed that was a reason, not the only reason. Skill sets being equal, the candidate with a knowledge of the local culture will likely be the better candidate.

Why is it better to know the local culture? E.g. would a local 65 year old be a better or worse culture fit than a 25 year from Canada?

> That's not saying choose the local candidate solely because he is local. I fail to see how it's contradictory. I think we're talking about two subtlety different things. I'm talking about where someone currently resides, not where that person was born or raised.

The problem is you haven't given a pragmatic reason why it's better to hire a local person. Well, in fall fairness that's not fully true, you might have implied less hassle during the hiring process (the remote person has to move locally, find a place, might need more time to settle due to that).

> I'm pretty sure you meant "increases diversity" because that's the popular trend.

I meant decreases, then I've meant that diversity is an advantage as per several studies. I'm sorry it was not clear.

I am the one referencing objective reasons, not sure why would you precisely call me out as a trend follower though.

> I've never comprehended why the "diversity" attribute magically makes a candidate superior. Typically, "diversity" superficially targets ethnic diversity rather than diversity in expertise, experience, or thought. Granted, those aren't mutually exclusive but they're not mutually inclusive either.

It's interesting that I keep seeing this "diversity of thought" mantra more and more often. I am seriously asking: Where did you get it from? I mean, it starts to look like a meme, so I wonder if it's on purpose.

Anyway, back to the point: What do you think diversity brings? And what do you think we refer to with "diversity"? For me it is:

- Different age

- Different gender

- Different socioeconomic background

- And any other thing that would've exposed you to different challenges in life: Your skin colour, your country of origin, your native language, where did you study, your level of studies, etc

Bringing e.g. more women or people from a different ethnic background to the team is a sure way to increase your so-called "diversity of thought". These people have probably faced different challenges than you did. Now if you want to hire someone that looks like you, grew in the same part of town, studied at the same place, had a similar socioeconomic background while growing up... Your chances of getting very similar points of view are very high.

And again, please spend some time researching the different studies, there are several by reputable sources. Apparently it is a fact that diversity is an advantage.

This is something I think the National Holocaust Memorial in DC nails, the human plane. The room full of shoes, two stories of ghostly family pictures you normally see on a fireplace mantel.

Are there any examples of these kinds of adversarial patterns that don't look like noise?

While it is pretty easy to add noise to another image, it isn't exactly easy to do it to a real object. The noise wouldn't remain the same as you change perspective with respect to the sign, which would likely change its effectiveness.

IPTorrents permanently bans user after exposing a web vulnerability responsibly
While these modifications are fascinating for being something that humans can't readily notice, the underlying attack is something you can also trivially perform against a human driver by covering, removing, or altering a stop sign such that it no longer looks like a stop sign, and it will be much more effective than trying to trick self-driving cars.

In the case of a human not seeing a stop sign, some drivers will remember a stop sign used to be at that location, but a self-driving car is less likely to forget and might (in a world with networked cars, which I find slightly scary for different reasons than this) be able to "remember" that other cars had previously seen a stop sign at that location.
> I'd be interested to know if any US cities have deeper tunnels

The downtown portions of Chicago's Blue Line[1] and Red Line[2] were primarily dug using tunnel boring machines in the 1940s. Here's a better view of the tunnels being not square[3].

Is it possible to go outside the bounds of what a typical international airport looks like today? E.g. no security screenings so people can pretty much just walk on the plane like it's a train station?

That would mean you don't need space for restaurants, or lots of space for people to pool as they're waiting past security.

It would be very interesting to experiment with changes like that and see how it would look.

Edit: There's now an entire discussion downthread about how airports did and didn't look like before 9/11.

That misses the point of what I'm asking, which I'll rephrase. I'm asking as a simulation game, how customizable is this? E.g. in in SimCity 2000 it initially looks like you can do anything, but really you can't design something that doesn't look & function either like an American suburb or car-centric Los Angeles. There's no way to construct something that looks & functions remotely like the city of Venice in SimCity.

Similarly in this game, can you really design your own airport that works anyway you want from scratch? Or are you just placing all the pieces in your typical international airport in different places on the board, while the NPCs walk in some pre-determined route from parking, to checkin, to security etc.

There's nothing that appears in the very brief trailer that suggests that it isn't highly constrained in the same way SimCity is. But I'd love to know if that's really the case.
Hold on, once again, because you're oversimplifying the situation here. You might be comfortable being turned back at the US border, but there are plenty of people who aren't in that situation --- they're children, or are coming to take care of their children, &c --- and being turned back at the border can mean it's very difficult to return to the country under any circumstances for years afterwards.
