In IT generally, yes; but specifically in pre-money startups, you usually can't afford to employ enough people to have an "on-call roster." The single ops person (who is usually also one of the devs) has to work a regular shift, and then also be on-call to put out fires.

(Not that this situation has anything to do with the law under discussion, which is only for 50+-employee companies; but it is an awful situation generally and one we should figure out how to avoid—it's IMHO one of the primary causes of burnout.)

> Remote work requires focus and discipline. Focus is way easier than in an open office, discipline is more difficult.

For you. But not everyone works like that.

Here is a scenario for you: you're a manager at a company that does not have a remote culture in place. You have ten employees on your team. Two of them want to work remotely. You let them.

I'm interested in hearing how you would resolve these issues:

1. The remote employees now feel left out because even though on paper they are video conferenced in to all team meetings, important insights or decisions are happening in organic social discussions for which it is awkward or simply not worth it to start a video chat? What happens when everyone in the same room gets involved in a conversation that was started by two of the in-office employees talking about a weekend project, and they decide to port a discovery to their current software?

2. Some of the in-office employees start to find it cumbersome and annoying to communicate with the remote employees. They hate video conference software. They're reluctant to reach out to the remote employees because they know they have to set up a video call. Video conferences become prone to connection issues. Conversations that would normally be a five or ten minute check in with your peer in the same room become 30 or 40 minute asynchronous conversations over Slack.

3. Some of the in-office or remote employees encounter a lot of friction in communication, because they don't really know how to interpret tone over Slack. Video conferencing remains a pain in the ass, and some people simply don't want to do it.

I work remotely. I like it a lot. But I think your characterization of many of the comments here as a "crab mentality" is unfair. Not everyone wants to work remotely on a beach and not everyone focuses well or has the same discipline like you. Far more importantly, companies that don't already have remote cultures have employees that don't really want to work with remote employees for both rational and irrational reasons. It is a complex business problem to implement a functional remote culture for all involved.
Yes...updating. thanks.
>This article is sort of fundamentally wrong that it's difficult to write small, purpose built languages. It's not,

This "correction" is mischaracterizing Walter Bright's article. He's writing about industrial "professional languages" and that context is made clear multiple ways:
1) he's referencing his D Language and presumably languages like it, 2) desire for the compiler to display quality error messages, 3) a good runtime library. The comparables to D Language would be Java/C#/Golang/Rust. All those languages took years by a team of people to get to v1.0.

> we have seen code generators deployed regularly.

But no professional language's (like D's) canonical compiler I know of is the direct output of yacc or ANTLR.

It seems like you have made reasonable and correct statements about programming languages -- for someone else's article -- but not specifically Mr. Bright's. The context really matters here.
From what little I have read on the topic adversarial attacks are succesfull on neural networks because in order to train them succesfully we design them to operate on a linear regime as much as possible. This linearity compounded with the high dimensionality of the problem (images) is what makes easy to find small perturbations that make the output oscillate wildly. My point is that "attacking machine learning" maybe should be renamed "attacking neural networks"

I think you're overstating the meaning of the empirical observation.

The observation as I understand it is that if you take the average over a large set of programs, then the hypothesis holds.

The observation is _not_ that if you take any program, then the hypothesis holds.

I'm hedging that it's the average over a large population of programs. I'm not making a claim about every program, only most programs, or rather - "most programs most of the time". I think that this is important because without a doubt, some programs are not generational at all.

Great example: go navigate from this page to another one. You want a full GC, not an eden GC, at this point. If your primary activity when browsing is navigating around and you're not spawning a new process for each navigation, then you are violating the generational hypothesis big time.

Note that this is somewhat orthogonal to the question of whether you should implement a generational GC. Generational GCs are great in part because they are rarely a regression on non-generational workloads.

Classic example: in the MMTk project they built this goofy "only for testing" non-generational collector that allocates in a bump nursery and then during GC it simultaneously evacuates the nursery and marks the "old" space. This non-generational GC, which has some traits of a generational GC, was slightly faster than their mark-sweep collector. It's often the case that generational GCs are really about a lot more than just exploiting the generational hypothesis.
I wish I could give out a prize for comments like this. "I tried to use X language casually for a few days and didn't like it, it must objectively suck!"

PowerShell isn't 10x harder to use than C#, how do I know that? Because many people use PowerShell regularly in their day to day jobs, and do so quite successfully. Most people who actually use PowerShell don't complain about how hard it is.

It is harder than C# to debug, probably more than twice as hard, actually. Does that make it impossible to program in? Hardly. There are tons of other languages that are roughly equally difficult to debug, especially many of the dynamic languages: PHP, Python, etc. People have been building things of tremendous value with hard to debug languages for ages. The fact that C# has such a good debugging story is great, but it's not the end-all be-all of a language. Also, PowerShell has some significantly advanced debugging tools compared to a lot of other dynamic languages.
It's protecting the commons. As an individual it might make sense for me to opt out of those regulations because I can get a job easier or command a higher wage. This only works if most people follow the regulations. The problem is when companies make opting out a de facto part of the deal and then individuals are no longer getting a benefit from their choices but are forced into it
I'm thinking being terminated with cause will have a negative effect on the Otto transaction. Did they just hand him $680M on day one? I think deals like this are structured with progress payments, milestones and maybe incentives for hitting milestones early.

The stats are a little unfair there, as I've done a lot of rearranging and housecleaning, which tends to inflate github's scoreboards.

"Workers protection need some balance"

Exactly. Balance is the keyword. The last decades have shifted this balance towards capital owners and the Trump administration is trying to do even more.

"France switched to 35h weekly legal a few years back, but why not 30h? Or 20h? "

You could ask the same questions the other way: "Corporate tax to 0%? Dividend taxed at 0%? Patents and copyrights never expire?"

The "economy" is not a natural law like gravity but human created. We can decide where the balance should be.
I am a huge supporter of affirmative action, and I'm glad you're trying to do it, but you're doing it the wrong way.

Who follows you on Twitter? Do you have a big black/brown following there, or is it mostly white people? If it's mostly white people then you should just accept that's a white marketing channel, and don't go trying to find black folks there.

Now ask yourself: what parts of the Code For America community are substantially black? Do you have teams that have better representation? Do you do events that have better representation? You can reach out there, without even mentioning race, and get a higher probability of black applicants. Just send an email "We're hiring programmers of all experience levels! Please forward this to friends/post on Facebook/etc!" You'll get some good white applicants in there too! Great! Hire them! But hopefully it's a better racial mix than whatever you're getting with your existing marketing channels.

If you're a pretty white organization, you might have to look further. Look at your city. Where do black folks congregate? Where do latin american folks congregate? Go to those places, and again, just do regular marketing. Not "Any brown folks want to work for us on prison stuff?" but "Anyone want to work with us on the wide array of activities we do?"

Maybe they don't even care about prison reform. Frankly, that is a little racist. Lots of black people don't. Maybe they like your mission, they care about voter turnout or something, but they're happy to apply for a job in the accounting department.

Now you've got 1 more person of color on your team, that will make all of your future job marketing activities work better.

Please be careful here, affirmative action is not a straightforward concept, and it's easy to alienate both white people AND people of color. There's a right way to do it and many very wrong ways to do it.

Feel free to email me if you need someone to bounce ideas off of.
Disagree. I sure wish I could have got some equity (bundled via some proxy) along with my purchase of an oculus rift.
It leads to consumer surplus being further and further converted into supplier surplus. Ultimately, this trend will approach 100% conversion so that there is no more consumer surplus and all surplus is realized by producers.

It is an interesting sort of economic reality to speculate about...but I don't really have enough background to even credibly start.
They may not produce sufficient testosterone, but testosterone production definitely occurs in XX individuals.
I agree with the morale and wellness argument. Too many distractions lead to mental thrashing.

But -- there's an assertion here that the $30,000 would have been better used in another way. The concept of agile development encourages these distractions because it encourages changes earlier, rather than later in development, where more resources have been squandered. Microsoft famously found that the cost of a defect grew by an order of magnitude for each stage of development in which it was allowed to fester.

Hence, I don't think the author has proven that business-related "distractions" are a net negative. If the distractions are completely unrelated to work, that's another animal altogether.

HPEs should only be considered "high-performance" if they are able to deflect distractions when they need to. Otherwise, they are simply highly compensated.

I'll second the use of Lisp as the implementation language. I've also used Prolog. For low level code, e.g. a virtual machine, you'll also need a low level language such as C or assembly language.

If you're designing a language as a learning exercise, or a domain-specific one, my advice is to go right ahead, using a Lisp variant. If you don't know one, now is the time to learn one.

If you're developing a general-purpose language, ask yourself how your language will be better than, or at least different to, every general purpose language in current use. Be ambitious. As languages belong to families (e.g. Algol variants, Lisp variants, functional languages, visual dataflow languages, etc.), you should aim for your language to be the best in its family.

Your language should also be one you'd use yourself.

I'm developing Full Metal Jacket (http://web.onetel.com/~hibou/fmj/FMJ.html). It's very different from almost everything else, so I'm not expecting popularity overnight.

The Dr Dobb's article is way too conventional for my requirements. My language doesn't require any parsing. Syntax, type, and memory errors can't happen. The ideal target machine would just run the code directly without any need for compilation, though I will at some point need to cross-compile it onto the von Neumann architecture, and for that dataflow analysis is unnecessary, making optimal object code simpler to generate.

This is the direction I'd like to see computing go.

Yes I think I'd agree in practice. I was really replying to the 'nothing wrong with it' assertion. I think there is something fundamentally wrong with it and we should acknowledge we're taking away people's freedom, but it's probably an acceptable trade-off in practice.
Yep. Use their soundfonts.
No that's not accurate. The brain may not be able to distinguish the two focal planes but it's just wrong to say "the brain interprets it as a 3rd, or 4th or 5th plane".

And this Facebook technique clearly doesn't use the same technique. Instead of a focal plane they have a focal surface that isn't restricted to a plane. It might not be noticeably better (who knows) but it's definitely not the same technique.
Emacs has the same problem. The best editor for Emacs is the vim emulation evil-mode.

>As someone who is broke and actively trying to skill up; often frustrated when people with better skills, resources or opportunities imply that it's easy and critically that even if you ARE leaving it's a process not simply a decision.

When you have a job that pays well, it's actually very easy to find a new job, because even if you hate where you're currently at, you have the benefit of time. Nobody is implying that the parent comment should just strap on their job helmet and squeeze down into a job cannon and fire off into job land. But if you're able to sit for a year watching job boards, contacting recruiters, etc, you will eventually find something.
> if you're in the habit of writing tests after your function is made - it shows you haven't put much thought, which means you haven't done the proper analysis of why the function exists, if the function is really one function or should be two functions, what arguments it can take, what it should return etc.

I don't want to be a capitalist and to spend all my waking hours wondering if I'm competing as effectively as possible against every other micro-capitalist out there.

I mean, I have a life plan that involves accumulating sufficient capital to provide approximate financial security, but that's just a fancy way of saying I hope to put together enough to stop worrying about it. What I actually want is somewhere to live and work in modest comfort free of distractions, and to able to travel and visit interesting places at regular intervals.

I like making art for art's sake (as opposed to commercial design or monetizable brand creation etc.). I'm not super-talented or super-skilled, I just have an overriding compulsion to produce things that are aesthetically pleasing to me. It might even be a form of brain damage, because this compulsion hasn't done me much economic good but it still takes priority over other activities. I have absolutely no desire to get rich off it, just not to be poor. Realistically, if my work does have art value in the eyes of others most of that is likely to accrue to the work long after I am dead, like this Basquiat that someone decided to park $110 million in yesterday: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/18/arts/jean-michel-basquiat...

Pretty much just Reddit leaking into HN.

Some people live in a political/cultural "tribe", and see the entire world through a prism where everything they dislike is linked to "the other tribe". They often punctuate every paragraph with some meme jab at the other tribe, even if it's seemingly irrelevant for everyone else who doesn't share the same prism.

On Reddit, this results in imaginary Internet points (i.e. upvotes), which reinforces the behavior and the underlying mindset. The HN community is better, but still not immune to this. I'm convinced that the "gamification" of online discussion over the past ten years has pretty deep impacts that future generations will look back on someday.
