> I don't think it is a straw-man to point at a real problem and demand answers. A straw-man argument is creating something that doesn't exist then attacking that.

"You are shifting the blame" is a straw man because the GP didn't do that. Rather, it pointed out a nuance in the issue that the previous comment didn't acknowledge.

(And a nit: a straw man attacks an argument that was not made, not a thing that doesn't exist.)

> He didn't call them evil, you are accusing him of doing that (You are closer to constructing a straw-man than he is).

Read my comment again. I said "a lot of rhetoric does X," which is vastly different from "you are doing X."
I live in SV as well.

Hard to say really. I'm just beginning to raise seed funding myself, so I'll have more perspective on that side soon. So far so good though.

On the VC side... I went to a VC panel in SF a couple weeks ago, and they all were gushing how this is the best time ever to raise money. They are all looking to invest.

There does seem to be a consensus though that investors are preferring to invest in "quality" businesses now vs chasing the Ubers and Uber for this. So potentially in line with the article talking about the levels of "uninvested cash".
If this is enough to "really confuse" someone than there's a serious problem with understanding VS rota learning.
It is a US thing. And it's because until middle school (age 11-13) your teacher is likely not that familiar with math (they have taken math courses, but likely little formal math beyond geometry and trigonometry, perhaps some courses on math pedagogy). So for them, math is all about the numbers, they barely got to the more abstract concepts.

In middle school in the US you start getting teachers specialized in their teaching subject matter, but often tangentially. Any one with enough college math credits can teach middle school math (with some other certifications, usually). High school you may, finally, get a math teacher who is a mathematician. If you're lucky.
You can read that disaster in two ways...

I consider the fact that a stupid-simple package was depended-upon by so many mature libraries as an indication it should be a language feature.

Working with network protocols I find myself needing padding functions all the time, and there isn't really an elegant way to do so inline, so I welcome this addition.

Please don't:

(1) snark on HN about HN talking about something—that's incongruent and supercilious;

(2) paste earlier comments into new threads;

(3) rant in a flamewar fashion. It never persuades anyone and it damages the commons.

I don't have a gluten allergy. But my wife wanted to try a paleo diet. I found that a fair amount of mental fog went away when we did that. I've become much more aware of how my diet affects my brain. I don't have to do pure paleo - just cut down on the amount of junk and hyper-processed food.

This is anecdote, not data. Your mileage may vary...
True, but we are aware that this isn't like the speed of light. Our own brains are testament to what is possible.
1) You are in Ring 0. There is no defense unless you reimplement a normal Kernel to run a process in Ring 3 along with the monitoring process and capabilities management... etc

2) No, the attacker is most likely there because of some bug in the app, once in the network, it becomes harder to stop the attacker infecting other instances.

3) Hypervisors are not perfect. There are known instances of people infecting the host through the hypervisor.
You know, this sounds like a great idea.

Maybe we should be building ourselves one of these...
I would not interpret "one of the most dramatic periods of economic development in history" as referring to the boom of China's internet sector starting in 2008.

If you intend to give credit to the GWF for that particular thing, then by all means do so. But that is not at all what I got from your original comment, nor your first reply.
I doubt that has much to do with it.

As I went through school I saw many students who were bilingual either do poorly or exceptionally well in math.

These were students who spoke Spanish, Tagalog, Chinese, Burmese, etc. at home for the most part and then spoke English at school. Some learned well and some didn't.

B&H has been the only online store (and maybe NewEgg) that I trust for SD/flash memory. Strangely, I bought a SanDisk SD card from Best Buy (in retail store) that went bad after a year of very light usage (write speed becoming slower over time), and although I'm sure it's genuine, it leaves a little bit of a doubt, even when I buy something from trusted retail store.

There's something about air traffic that is very HackerNews. Search for "air traffic" to see what I mean. Maybe it's something about coordinating big complex systems, or maybe radio chatter is nerdy, I don't know, but it does make sense to me.
Note that the original article describes space complexity as "N + O(sqrt N)", i.e., there are N records and O(sqrt N) extra space.

Their data structure is considerably more complex than traditional implementations of std::deque, I wonder if it is actually of any practical interest.

"Think of it this way - any dispute with the "sponsoring" VC firm could snowball into a complaint to DHS which could result in the "entrepreneur" having to leave the country"

I don't know if you believe this to be true. How would this work?

VC: We have a complaint!

DHS: Yes?

VC: The entrepreneur wants to grant more options to their main people.

DHS: okay... so?

VC: Please dissolve the company, make my equity worth zero, and return this person to their country?

DHS: What?

VC: Good point, just make them turn their equity into MY equity and then kick them out

I just don't know what you imagine this rule to be. How do you think this works? On an H1b you can just fire the employee and they have to leave. I understand the mechanics of the power. For a VC and an entrepreneur, the VC has shares in a company that is run by the entrepreneur. The entrepreneur ALSO has shares in the company and always will even if they leave the country.

I've filled well over 500 gigs with VM images.

Now, whether I actually need 500+ gigs of VM images is another question. I could definitely clean up and pare them down to just what I need, which would no doubt be much less than 500 gigs. But time is money, and it's just cheaper to buy more disk space than spend my time being an overpaid garbage collector.
Never had an actual class for this but in elementary school we would learn how to use the card catalog and the dewey decimal system and all that. We maybe went down a few times and that was it.
Pictures take up the majority here. I do not keep them on my primary (SSD) harddrive though.

Then there's also video, which is getting more and more popular (gopro, drones) with filesizes not really going down much due to things like FullHd and now 4k.

Edit: I did not register your 'nothing fun' point properly. I guess you mean a pure working machine? Then no, I do not see a reason to have a hard drive above say 512gb. Do keep in mind that code-bases grow quickly though, I have about 25gb of source code on my main work machine.

Very true, good point, it's much easier and more convenient to do algebra on the symbolic expression. There is a reason math has evolved the way it has. Not using any symbols would suck, no question.

But, nothing about writing math in text prevents manipulating the text, right? You can do it, it would just be laborious and exhausting for people who are familiar with the use of symbols.

>I credit TPW for giving me words to describe this to engineers ( http://tom.preston-werner.com/2010/08/23/readme-driven-devel.... ) and my high school English teachers for giving me the love of words!

This so much. I find that my strong liberal arts education in high school has made me a much better developer. Things like meter and pacing are quite applicable to writing code, and like you I have only my high school English teachers to thank for that.

So many of the processes around writing (good) code are similar to those around writing (good) prose, it amazes me that non-technical writing and literary analysis aren't more strongly preferred.
I don't really think the situation in the article is directly about people not being skilled in math. It's about math-phobia with it's after-affect of people not having skills in math.

It seems like an especially American thing - being good at math makes someone a freak and so it's something kids actively avoid at the ages in which being a freak is not tolerable.

That kind of attitude would need to be actively confronted because what happens is that kids who previously were developing skills tend to drop out given the peer-pressure.

I bought a SanDisk SD card from BestBuy (at physical store), trusting that it was genuine, so I never ran any test. Only after a year or so, I think it might possibly be a fake, as the speed was incredibly slow - write speed was slower than my 7 year old SD card.

Agreed, I'm having to constantly manage space and move media files to external drives to keep using a SSD for my primary drive. I bought 30GB, 128GB, and 256GB drives as prices came down and I had hoped 1TB drives would be under $200 by now. Not even close. What is worse, I built a new desktop and planned to use a M.2 SSD for even higher speeds. That's a long way off now and will probably have to wait for the next build.

Truly a first-world problem but damn, where are my cheap SSD's?

The semantics can still be quite different. You start hitting a lot of corner cases very quickly, unless one of the languages was designed to have semantics close to the other's, or the two languages at least share heavy influence from a common ancestor.

Many dynamically typed languages treat null/nill/None, empty string, and empty list as "non-truthy" in a Boolean context, but that's not universal.

JavaScript's notion of a class is very different from Python's. Ruby's take on who can call private methods is different from most languages. Python is in a minority for supporting multiple inheritance.

In Common Lisp, functions and variables have separate namespaces, whereas in Scheme, they share a single namespace.

PHP just has bizarre object conversion and comparison rules that are often inconsistent and therefore incompatible with most other languages (ignoring the Turing tarpit).

Getting good enough lexical analysis of the source language to efficiently implement lexical closures in a target language without them can be a pain.

On the other hand, if you're cross-compiling buggy webapps written by developers who don't properly understand the semantics of the language they're written in, maybe you can just ignore the semantic mismatches and get a different set of bugs coming out the other side while accidentally fixing other bugs.

I think that the rules of this startup visa made perfect sense for the venture capital people who were pushing it. The rules basically boil down to, If a VC thinks that so and so has a good enough shot at a business that we want to fund him, don't make immigration a barrier.

It was never intended as a path for large numbers of good people to immigrate to the USA, and so makes no sense for that. It was just meant to get government out of the way of people who are likely to generate jobs here.
"Anyone can be successful by working half time. Half time is twelve hours a day, seven days a week."

Work for a company that has several offices that are geographically spread out. This is a good indicator that the company has already developed the necessary prereqs (good code collaboration tools, everything is a videoconference by default, annual all-company occasions, travel policies that make cross-team sessions easy) to accommodate remote work. Once you know they have the pieces in place, remote work is a really easy sell. Sell it to your manager/director, not HR.

I would not want to work remotely for a company that hasn't gotten used to distributed workers yet.

I'm guessing you mean for a work machine as an entertainment machine(like gaming) would easily use more than 256G. My dev machines have 120G ssds and that's enough. The real number crunching happens on a machine that has 2 960G ssds in raid-0. I know, that's not exactly safe, but all the data on there is ephemeral anyway.
It varies. Sometimes I listen to my "stock" music - hard rock and heavy metal of all varieties, with a special focus on 80's era glam metal, speed metal, and thrash metal.

Other times it's various forms of electronic music. House, trance, europop, Hi-NRG, synthwave/darkwave, etc.

And then sometimes I go with classical music. Bach, Vivaldi, Verdi, Wagner, Strauss, Orff, etc.

So, something like The Matrix, Antitrust, Tron:Legacy, Hackers, Sneakers, The Social Network, etc.
