Traveller from the future!
Many years ago I attended a small scientific conference that P&T were also attending. They weren't presenting; they were just in the audience listening because they're interested in science. One presenter was having great difficulty with the A/V equipment. This went on for about 10 minutes and the audience was growing frustrated but we were all too polite to say anything. Finally one guy stands up and says -- very loudly -- "My name's Teller and I'm a professional magician and I know a little bit about A/V equipment. Would you like some assistance?"

The guy has no problem speaking when he's off stage.

> Not that you can use the language-provided == on floats anyway, due to precision issues you should always check if the difference is below a specified limit...

Hehe, I've been there. ;-) Fortunately, that code dealt with physical coordinates, so if two points were less than 100µm apart, they were equal for our purposes.
Unless the contestant is an ass about it, in which case they blow the secret wide open. That part's fun too.
This is very cool. Constraints are definitely the mother of all creativity, even in indirect ways. This reminds me of my first few years of programming as a pre-teen, on a TI-82 calculator (I had no computer at home at the time), where I'd input code directly with the tiny keyboard. You didn't type keywords (if, else, etc.) directly - instead you would pick them from a menu system and the editor would insert them in your code. You could use the number keys as shortcuts in the menu system; after a while you'd develop pretty good muscle memory and type relatively fast on the machine. When I graduated to assembly, it was a whole other ordeal. I also remember drawing sprites for my game on graph paper, and then painstakingly inputting the coordinates for on pixels in the source.

It's funny how every programmer who got into programming before the age of ubiquitous laptops/tablets/phones/etc. has stories like that to tell; one of my old boss's favorite stories is deleting the boot sector accidentally while programming an old DOS machine, and having to rewrite by hand and from memory while the computer was still powered. When he restarted the machine, everything worked, which was pretty much a miracle.

On one hand I wonder if programmers who had to face this kind of drastic challenges end up having a stronger understanding of their craft and tooling compared to the new generation, learning languages and machines with very strong guard rails, never having to learn the deep insides of what they're working with; on the other hand, every generation bemoans the fact that the one before doesn't get things quite the way they do, but things usually turn out fine.

That's just not true.

- Network ist worse than the competition for sure, just benchmark it and you will see it. And if you benchmark it over a certain time period you will see that it's very unpredictable. If you only need 5mbit all the time, sure it's the same as anyone elses. The good thing is that you don't pay for traffic, but I would rather have a stable system/network. Also, the AMS network has a bad carrier mix which is why they route a lot of the traffic through Paris, which adds latency because their network is bad.

- The storage system is a joke. Max 150 GB per volume, it's very slow depending where your VM lands. If you only look at the price, sure it's quite good, but that doesn't make it production ready.

- How is an additional automated backup system vendor lock in? It's quite nice to restore backups with a click, how is that a bad thing? You can still do your own backups, but at least the option would be great.

- No, the ARM CPUs don't statisfy 99% of projects. Because most web projects need single thread performance and that's exactly where ARM CPUs are garbage.
I think the first step is integrating secure design practices into curriculum. I was surprised to see how little emphasis was put in in both Traditional CS and Engineering courses at the universities I work with.

Hm, as someone who's finished that book, I don't know that I'd say Haskell Programming from First Principles really teaches much category theory -- it teaches specific applications of a few things as it exists in Haskell.

I'm currently working through Conceptual Mathematics (an intro category theory book), and while the Haskell book has some overlap, it's been extremely minor. The main thing I can think of at the moment is determining the number of arbitrary maps that exist between sets. There is some overlap of things like monoids and functors, but even those have a different, more nuanced treatment in category theory (for example, the relatively simple fact that endomaps are functorial interpretations of the sum monoid was new to me, coming from that haskell book).
Electron misses some core native application type features because they are not available to it. I can't see them coming to HTML5 either. It is just a colossal stuff up all round.

I'm worried that this is marked as "just like a brethalyzer" when it's really much more equivalent to "just like the government demanding full access to your phone", presumably they will claim that it does one thing and doesn't do another, but it will be closed source and no one will be able to verify that.
I wouldn't say a flat-rate is exactly correct. Some sites receive tens of thousands of comments on a single article. Others, 5 or 10. The overhead on the service is more likely a better determinant, such as bandwidth and performance requirements for hosting. If SiteA uses 95% of your traffic and SiteB uses 5%, and your overall costs are 200 FakeUnits, you ought to be charging in respect to usage. Starting it at a price that wouldn't impact you negatively would be a good idea, and making it scalable would be even best. I'm moreover just throwing out ideas and thoughts though, I'm no VC or business expert myself, just someone who hosts servers for fun.

20% is impossible. When dealing with so many factors, thousands of failure points, is boils down to either safe (1%) or nothing (100%) with a very slippery slope between. It is basic algebra. When you multiply lots of factors you must either aim very low or accept near-infinity. There isnt much advantage to midpoints. The individual factors before multiplication would be nearly identical, with slight errors quickly adding up to total unpredictability. The 20% rocket wont be much cheaper than the 1%. You will spend far too much effort bouncing around between 1 and 100 trying to hit the 20.

No doubt savings can be made, but the overall reliability of such a complex system isnt directly and smoothly related to cost.

> Sakurai, who was 20 at the time, says he simply thought this keyboard-free programming environment was "the way it was done," and he coded an entire functional test product using just the trackball.

Maybe ten years from now, I can recount the horrid tales of writing code in notepad that didn't even have Ctrl+S shortcut, let alone code highlighting. :) Joking aside, I revere veteran programmers who wrote without keyboards, and coded mostly in assembly but I can't help think if it was pretty normal because that's the way things were done at that time.

There is a opinion I hit on every now and then—of programming, especially web development, getting ridiculously easier compared to the past. It has, to a great extent, considering the tools and the computing power we have now, but the complexity of software is also pacing at the same speed, briskly consuming that efficiency. The real question that should be asked is: was programming in the past inordinately difficult when seen in perspective of software complexity the market demanded? Is software development easier today because the gain in programming efficiency is more than the complexity of software that needs to be made?

I am aware, but even if silicon valley was how it used to be described it was never an option. Maybe its because I am younger, but in my age group everyone went to college and got massive student loans because that's what every adult in your life told you to do.

How were you supposed to travel to the valley and work on something that didn't make you a lot of money when you had large, non dis chargeable loans tied to you for decades? The only people who had that option were rich kids, or the few who took the "bad" choice of not going to college and ended up lucking out.

Seeing people reminisce about how silicon valley used to be always reminds me of older people complaining that the youth are no longer treating college as a place to learn. Well no shit. We are, on average, much poorer than we used to be and everyone has to eat. All those old ideals are nice, but they matter much less when you end up having to work yourself to death or decide between medicine or making rent that month
Concerning RentBerry, it's the first I've heard of it and I know nothing about California bylaws, but isn't it illegal to just put the price of rent up in an unrestricted auction?
I was at a startup conference a few years back where they did a fireside chat with Copperfield. It was amazing.

He talked about how he had to constantly work to stay ahead of the audience, to recreate and create new concepts and tricks, and how to continue to appeal to groups as the technology available and interests changed. Some of it was marketing 101 but the vast majority was someone who was truly dedicated to mastering his craft and making it "look easy" while making it incomprehensible to everyone watching.
> There are many reasons why an organization would need to build a distributed system, but here are two examples:

> - The demands of a consumer Web site/API or multitenant enterprise application simply exceed the computing capacity of any one machine.

> - An enterprise moves an existing application, such as a three-tier system, onto a cloud service provider in order to save on hardware/data-center costs.

When you've exhausted the capacity of a single machine, typically you don't jump straight to a distributed system. You can scale out horizontally with a stateless application layer, as long as the data storage on the backend can handle all the load. You can also scale database reads horizontally, using read replicas.

This horizontal scale-out is not a distributed system, since consensus ("source of truth") still lives in one machine.

So I think a better phrasing of #1 would be "When your write patterns exceed the computing capacity of any one machine".

Every site seems to have a life cycle. I find that I prefer the early stages, before things settle down in to the predictable debating club between stable poles of opinion that define the acceptable range of discourse there. That stage can last a long time, but it doesn't last forever.

This doesn't work for everyone (which is probably why it still works at all), but, at least for technical discussion, mailing lists are where I have the bulk of my quality online interaction. I've found fewer good public lists for wider intellectual discussion, but they're out there, too.

The difference is that they tend to range from somewhat to very topically silo'ed. Well, and they're email, so the cool kids don't want to play. (Again, I think that's partly why it works.)
Yes, I've had some informational interviews. I should probably do more following up with them as time moves on. That is great advice - I usually see if they have anything for me, and if no I move on. Will follow up now.

Also, I understand the no feedback policy, just really sucks when you go so far.

The author makes a good point about intelligence not being one-dimensional, and I think the same thing holds for flying ability. Efficiency is one dimension, but you also have speed, range and so forth.
I agree with your notes but not your conclusion - wouldn't these people be way more screwed if they couldn't work from home at all? These aren't devs we're talking about, they likely don't have many options besides this or something way shittier not at home.
On one hand the Dropcam is constantly uploading video and audio of you and storing it in the cloud for extended periods of time, even when you're home.

On the other hand, the Echo Look only uploads photos when you ask it to, and AFAIK doesn't store them, but everyone is freaking out because it could upload photos whenever it wants.

Sure, HN doesn't see the value in a Look, but it is clearly less invasive than a Dropcam.

Bug: hnchat's 'N users online' list shows users who are arguably not online
I'm one of the devs on Kobble. Kobble is a versatile tool that can be used in a variety of ways.

One way is as a content sharing platform. Gists are great for this purpose, because as you have noted, the discovery mechanisms are largely built into GitHub. Our use of gists for this purpose was entirely intentional. On top of that, we have built a flexible data model (similar to YouTube) for organizing and sharing the content. We are attempting to build an open content sharing platform where users have control over the data.

For note taking, obviously you want private access. We will have support for private repos very shortly. This was stated in the intros, and we have improved the wording to make it clearer.

Hope this helps.
What was the nature of the exam?

The reason that the people that one rater's referred didn't pass might simply be a cultural difference between the rater's locale and the locale of whoever designed the "right" answers.

For example, if you assume the test was written by people in SV it would not be a stretch to imagine a bunch of people failing because they (for example) failed to flag content that included the confederate battle flag as offensive.

US Dollars and Euros are the national currency for roughly the same number of people.

320 million people live in the USA, plus there's Ecuador and El Salvador.

(516 million people live within the Single Euro Payments Area, where international bank transfers in Euros must cost no more than a national bank transfer. My employer in Denmark has a Euro-denominated bank account; this is presumably typical for businesses in the non-Euro countries in Europe.)

That's the whole point: you shouldn't get into this situation in the first place, and the reason you did is that you've got a culture of short-termism that doesn't place enough weight on maintainability. This disaster's been 40 years in the making, and everyone thinks they made the right call.

I have exactly zero solutions to this. If I did I would be rich beyond the dreams of Bezos. But let's not pretend that this isn't the end game of a short-term, low investment, low innovation culture.
Rent is high because supply has been restricted by low-density zoning regulations, especially in San Francisco and Seattle.

Policy-market mismatch is partially due to low participation in local politics, and partially due to high-income neighborhoods influencing local politics to keep their area low-density (raising their property value and the surrounding area's rent).

> The problem with a fixed / structured filesystem is that it's largely inflexible. The next option would be to have some sort of hybrid -- a persistent data store plus, say, hardlinks or symlinks onto that store based on other elements, could work, but would be somewhat annoying to maintain (though not impossible, and a tools-based approach might well work).

People you know about != the best. John Carmack is significantly above average, but unlikely to be in the top 1,000 developers world wide. Linus Torvalds is a very good developer, but world class at managing developers.

It's a classic catch-22. Self promoters are by definition getting less done, but without that promotion your never going to hear about them, just projects they worked on. Michael Jordan was better in very public ways, the absolute best developer at Verizon, Delta, or the DoD are not spending time competing under spotlights.

PS: I am not a great developer, but I have worked with people that would blow your mind. "We stopped testing his code years ago."
The unroll.me privacy policy says "We may collect, use, transfer, sell, and disclose non-personal information for any purpose."

People aren't going to read a clearly written privacy policy they have to acknowledge during signup, but they're going to read SEC filings?

This is perfectly legal so public/private companies will both do it and I believe it would be illegal for private companies not to disclose it in their privacy policy anyway.
Oh wow, I've never heard of that. (EDIT: I knew what color quantization was but not the algoritm) I, too, want to know the implementation details, as I haven't been that impressed with open source libraries to detect distinct colors.

Understood. Just sucks when you go so far with them - and I reached out to the hiring managers for feedback, which is why I was hoping for more. I've been trying to target more, but also blasting. I take an approach of blast in the morning, and then target in the afternoon. I've attended many Python meetups, and my bootcamp was one that popped up for a lot for a lot of those. I was hoping their network would help me, but it has been nonexistent. I do need a better network, but I feel like my wheels are spinning from going to meetups and events like Techday last week.

> is such an elegant approach

In theory more than practice. For example if you use array destructuring (`[x, y] = something`) and Babel cannot verify that `something` is always an array it inserts a 664 character function that handles generators and other things. That adds performance and size overhead (grep for _slicedToArray in your compiled js files), when all you really want is `x = something[0]...`
