Well, there's somewhat of an argument to be made that immutable data structures are a bit less performant than mutable ones... but it still seems to be the way forward, especially when you take any sort of concurrency into account
There's no reason to personally insult the poster, especially with very inflammatory wording. Everyone is allowed to have their own opinions even if the rest of us disagree.
I really agree with the "Avoid special cases", or the Zen of Python version: "Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules."

For large systems it's absolutely critical to be careful around special case, at best avoid them. The hard part of dealing with special cases is to explain to business people that their "It's just ONE special case, how bad can it be" will snowball if allowed.
Could you clarify what you mean by identity politics? I'm mostly used to see them in that gay people, trans people exist are considered identity politics. It's confusing that they are considered a politics that demands for more binary. Wouldn't the acceptance of sexual and gender diversity actually be less Binary than the total rejection of any sexuality and gender identity besides cis and hetereo?
I'm not sure if it's still the case, but I don't think you could record iPad screens at the start, though Apple demonstrated it as a possibility during their live demos.

I'm not sure if Apple made it available to other companies privately though.

It's a pretty bad benchmark. I don't think there are any conclusions about WASM, ASM.js, or JavaScript that we can glean from this. All we can get is "this person's translation process is not very good."
They didn't document what version of Rust they used, but our support is still fairly preliminary. For example, it wasn't until very recently that we even passed in flags to optimize the output at all. My understanding is that there's still a lot of low-hanging fruit with the integration generally.

I agree that the talk has been from MS that this was a moving target and not ready for anything close to production till after 1.0.
Legacy device markets are pretty firmly entrenched on both sides. Intel with server/PC MCUs, ARM with any silicon at the SoC/MPU level and below for smartphones, embedded systems, etc. (also gaining share from migration away from MIPS and Power architectures). Throwing money at these mkts probably won't help much, and many are low growth anyways.

The interesting, high-growth spaces where ARM and Intel are currently battling for hardware mkt share are the IoT Gateways market and the autonomous vehicle SoC market.

The supporting software ecosystem will also become increasingly important over the next few years - this is a spot where ARM could really outpace Intel if it receives a big infusion of resources (see ARM mbed cloud/OS).

>I just don't want to fool myself or anyone else that my job performance hasn't suffered.

I think you have prioritized correctly. There can be beautiful periods in life when your passion, discretionary time, and energy (physical and mental) are all coherent with the content of your job and you are highly productive and feel awesome. These times are wonderful and should be appreciated, but they can't last forever.

I have had those times, and I've had times where I felt I was really letting stuff slide at work and playing catch up all the time. These days I seldom feel like I'm giving my employers the full 100% of what I am capable of on my best day... maybe I only feel like I'm giving 50-60% of that most days. But if you are a diligent enough person to care/worry about your own productivity and contribution to the company ... you are probably STILL more valuable than many people who come in aiming to do only the minimum needed to keep their job.

>on Monday mornings I try to remember what was it that I'm working on.

This is so freaking healthy. I love it. Don't feel bad.
This is misleading article like the guys who show you optical illusions and then say you can't trust what you see. The fact is that it is rational to let past experiences affect you. Of course here people are told their past was a lie - but they weren't given any additional facts about what is right now. It was still pure conjecture as to how well they did.

I think this is a very poor conclusion, an article by a professional journalist who just is trying to make money by posting something dumb. It's obvious why people are "irrational". There is so stinking much information in the world, not to mention the pressure our own minds put on us in the form of wants and needs. We have to sift through that to make decisions. The fact is irrationality comes from not sifting through the information correctly which is a difficult task that takes time and training.

There are all kinds of reasons we don't sift through information correctly, and as machine learning shows that takes time. Plus we often have pride which keeps us from acknowledging the truth.

The of course even if we have the facts sometimes it is difficult to make predictions based on those facts. This is in my opinion often because we don't really understand the facts. The only way to make predictions is based on past experience of some sort. If you don't understand the past well you can't make a good prediction, so once again it comes down to not understanding the huge amount of info in the world.

>One of the many great things about children, if you're not a total heartless bastard of course, is that having them really sharpens your mind as to what's important and what's not.

Why do parents think popping out a kid gives them some mystical wisdom? Maybe it just gives you one thing to focus all you energy on and suddenly that feels really important?

> I often find myself having to write comments to make it clear what the parameters are supposed to be so someone reading the code instantly understands what needs to be passed to the function, whereas in a language like C or C++ that has static typing, the type would make it obvious.

I'd encourage turning these sorts of 'comments' into Javadoc-style 'annotations'; they're still comments, so language implementation will ignore them, but that small amount of structure makes it possible for separate tools to perform sanity checks (i.e. obvious combinations of incompatibly-annotated types), or even to show annotations at call sites in an IDE (e.g. when hovering over a name).

Arnold Schwarzenegger Infrastructures of Wealth
I don't know? I'm trying to be frank here. You can't really dance around these issues. I know this because I've sat in many hiring sessions and interviewed many people. By the time you've shook someone's hand and they've uttered their name it's already 50% made up in people's mind if they're gonna hire this person or not. Welcome to the shit show.

I'm just giving a heads up for some poor dudes that wanna "play the game" and make a good career. Or what is worse is the poor guys that post on HN about "I've been to 50 interviews, everyone thinks my resume is great but I'm not landing any jobs". The fit or fuck off attitude is still very much alive in the corporate world.

I could write a similar list for the typical white geek that dresses like Rainman or has autistic body language and wonders why he's not getting hired.
When you change the meaning of racism to actually mean only institutional racism, the behavior that the old meaning represented suddenly becomes much more acceptable. In my opinion this shows a lack of moral clarity on the part of the people who do this, either willingly or not, since it shows that the reason they were opposed to racism was only because of the social prohibition to whatever was thought to be racist, not to the act of racial prejudice itself.
> You blog sounds like the PR spin that came out of Aereo, a company that spent an inordinate amount of effort to stay within the absolute letter of a law.

Without reading the blog, I just wanted to comment on Aereo: a lot of us think that this was the wrong decision, and not in a facetious or 'cute' way.

To quote Scalia's dissent in the case:

> In a dissent that expressed distaste for Aereo’s business model, Justice Antonin Scalia said that the service had nevertheless identified a loophole in the law. “It is not the role of this court to identify and plug loopholes,” he wrote. “It is the role of good lawyers to identify and exploit them, and the role of Congress to eliminate them if it wishes.”

I just got back from my first trip to LA and my impression is the same. I stayed with a relative in Venice, met a friend in Silver Lake, and went downtown the next day. The amount of travel was pretty crazy. I'm from Chicago and traveling 15 miles is pretty much going from the far North Side to the far South Side, a trip that no one would make just for brunch.

An analogous LA day in Chicago feels like it would be brunch in Schaumburg, coffee with a friend in Gary, Indiana and dinner in Winnetka.

Maybe I'm way off, I was only there for three days, but that was what I took away from the trip.
Why is this even a valid article? The evidence given was based on studies that actively deceived the takers in order to prove a point. Of course if you trick people they become defensive. You've primed them to believe one thing and then turned around and said it was another.
I often feel like there is an opportunity for a hybrid model. Build the app "without code" but then pay to download the code and customize it to your will / deploy on your own infrastructure.

Not saying this would happen with this company but if you don't own the code you are just (as another poster put it) renting your app. If the company you are renting from goes under or raises their prices you are out of luck and the cost of recovering might actually be higher than the cost of having just used a traditional platform in the first place.

Not saying I don't believe in those systems. I was one of the founding engineers at a company that did WYSIWYG website creation tools in the early 2000s (think Squarespace only not). I just think customers need to be aware of the concept of vendor lock in and data portability.

Edit: another important point is time to market. If your intent is to use an app like this to prove product market fit before going out and building something custom that might make a lot of sense depending on your use case.

Linux not Microsoft
Imperative code can be clean and stay clean too, it just requires more effort. Remember that functional programs are easier to understand only because they are less expressive - they can't express concurrency and nondeterminism.

That being said, the principle of least power applies in full force, so if (a part of) your program can be written purely functionally, it should probably be written that way.
Its more like a crash course on putting other before yourself, which can for sure adjust ones world view.

Ask HN: Which linux distro at home?
I am currently owning an amd fx 8350 + nvidia gtx 750 + 512gb ssd and 8gb ddr box.

After trying out ubuntu for a while I have the feeling that it is too bloated and it is coming with too much stuff out of the box, beside the fact that the daily updates are quite annoying. My feeling is that it will end up as windows in the long run (slow and bloated).

I am evaluating between debian and fedora (since are the ones I am familiar with) which one to use for my machine ?

It's not about marketing, economics or other MBA-feuled non-technical ideas. It's about a software vendor saying: this is our platform, here are API's for you to use, don't go outside it.

It is perfectly reasonable, and so far, any other interpretation seems to be a skewed view to facilitate some sort of non-compliant piece of software.
I used to think like this. I have two kids and one more on the way.

Setting aside the emotional part of the equation, having kids _is_ very taxing on your time and energy. It forces you to prioritize like never before. And that shows in your work. You are forced to learn how to focus on bigger-picture issues because there's no time for bullshit anymore.

To reply directly to the OP: if there is an OSS project on Github that is really important, your green graph will stay green. If its not important, it won't stay green and it won't matter anyway.

In my experience, no, kids that young do not understand that. Furthermore, if you have the door closed for the length of a conference call with a child that young, I'd expect there to be another adult (or responsible elder sibling) there in the first place, such that the burden of not bothering you was never on the child.

If that can't be arranged, you reschedule the call.

A few comments are mentioning the implementation is probably dated.

Does anyone have benchmarks that tell a different story?
I moved to PC-BSD and then TrueOS from Linux. (and kind of MacOS, I was using my Mac as my primary workstation for while).

The reason I chose PC-BSD over vanilla FreeBSD (or Ubuntu) was its integrated ZFS / beadm system, which creates ZFS snapshots at update time that are integrated with the boot loader. That means you can roll back if an upgrade fails, or breaks a crucial piece of software. There is less reason to do this now, as FreeBSD current now has decent beadm and zfs boot support baked in as of a few months ago.

The things that I hate compared to MacOS and Linux:

- No support for U2F in Chromium. In fact, if you have set up a security key, simply getting the U2F prompt will crash. See https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=451248

- Chromium version historically lags Chrome on supported platforms by weeks or months (though, as of today, I have chromium-56.0.2924.87_1, which is pretty recent).

- No support for Google Hangouts (or other video conf. systems)

- "Complex" Linux commercial binary software (like Chrome, slack desktop client, my kid's Kerbal Space Program) does not work with the Linux API support.

To work around these things, I've actually installed a bhyve VM running ubuntu for Linux apps (and gone through the pain of routing pulse audio via a network socket so that sound works). With PCI-passthru, I can actually pass a USB controller into the Linux VM, so U2F and a video camera for conf. calls works. For KSP, Wine works reasonably well on the Windows binary.

If I had it to do over again, I might just reverse things, and run Ubuntu for my desktop, and pass the disk controllers through to FreeBSD and run my FreeBSD stuff in a VM.
I don't think this has much at all to do with the words used.

Give it a few goes and eventually "advice" will become the bad word. People will realise that they're just getting the same response that dissuaded them originally from responding to requests for "feedback".

It's not the word you use, it's way you respond to what you receive.

Unfortunately, we don't get to choose whether or not a word has a negative connotation. "Hustle" suggests duplicity, using people and gaming the system for selfish benefit.
I seriously doubt it was, at least not a blanket automated attempt aimed at multiple people.

It was years ago but IIRC, there were actual names and the email was clearly between two people who knew each other personally, contained phone numbers, etc. Also, it wasn't in English, so it wasn't some automated Nigerian scam or something like that for sure.

And if someone went through the trouble of obtaining so much intel (names, phones, company titles, bank branches, etc) - makes no sense they would then get the email wrong.

Also, at most the person sending the email would gain is some business bank account number, that's probably semi public knowledge anyway, without any authentication-enabling information.
