You don't have to download an entire torrent to access a single file. Most torrent client can prioritize files so they get downloaded first, or avoid downloading everything in favor of just one or two. That is, unless the torrent is just a single zip or something.
I see the security argument come up often but have never once heard an anecdote of someone having a security breach or whatever people are scared of happening because their chromebook was in developer mode.

Installing a chroot isn't that difficult, in fact it was actually kind of fun and started me on an incredible tech exploration journey that currently has me learning software development using Vim on a command line only linux distribution. I never would have imagined such a thing a year ago. It is weird thinking having a $140 refurbished acer c720 may have led me on a completely different, exciting life path.

I won't argue about a relative comparison to other cities, but the claim that there aren't a lot of tech jobs doesn't hold water.

Searching for largest employers in Durham and Wake county, you'll see that there's a lot of tech. IBM is third largest overall employer in Durham, SAS is fifth in Wake, Cisco is seventh, followed by plenty of others that aren't quite as big. (Red Hat headquarters are here but they don't even make the list I searched http://d4.nccommerce.com/QCEWLargestEmployers.aspx).

What the triangle doesn't have is "sexy" tech. There's a lot of medium or small satellite offices, companies like Fidelity, Lenovo or Credit Suisse hiring people, and so on. Far fewer consumer oriented startups.

I was planning on mentioning it as soon as I saw this post as well. I think most people who try using a functional programming language that encourages you to use sum types (at least when you're beginning) run into this in some way, but most people probably aren't aware that it has an actual name.

Here's a post on solving it using type classes in Haskell, if people are curious! http://koerbitz.me/posts/Solving-the-Expression-Problem-in-H...
Atlanta is the center of tech ambitions for the southeast. It has a lot of Fortune 500 company headquarters - Turner Broadcasting with 18+ major online brands, Home Depot, Lowe's, etc. Yahoo and Google had offices. There are also a lot of small satellite consulting firms. Cost of housing is much lower, though traffic is bad as well. It's a nice green city, but Venture funding is low, so it depends on your ambitions.
The key is don't follow accounts that tweet about politics. I filtered mine down a few years ago and have loved it ever since.
It seems like your points 3 and 4 could be solved by using a Forth-like syntax. "abc" r<TAB> would only suggest functions that can operate with a string at the top of the stack. Threading code would be `1 1 + 2 /`. There are no parens to match in `h g f`.

Of course it's even more obscure than functional programming (point 2) and if the semantics aren't changed, point 1 isn't solved either.

If your plan to grow your company by begging for money then you need have a co-founder: you need to convince somebody to work for free. That is first step toward convincing VCs to give you money.

If your plan to grow your company is thru business (actually making something) then having co-founder is not required: you can hire senior people since you are solving real problem.

Yep even well written papers will be dense and jargonistic for laymen -- and it is childish to expect everything to be well written.

But imagine if the incentives of scholars somehow shift so that they look less to funding committees and more to the audiences of blogs and magazine articles. I think such a shift would do more good than harm.

Scholars would still write serious papers to establish their reputation amongst each-other, but insofar as they rush to publish, I'd rather they pump out accessible blog style articles than the kind of gibberish that is made today in order to inflate the citation metrics.
You can be incorporated without going public. The ability to raise needed capital is a great thing, but it also comes with a lot of negative aspects as a result.
> Statically-typed Python 2 would not have solved this, since the problem was a single type permitting both string-like and bytes-like operations. A static type checker would simply say "yup, that type supports that".

You'd have to change type definitions then...if you define the type to allow those operations then obviously a static type checker isn't going to help. From the article they have this Python 2 -> 3 example which seems like static typing would catch:

self.streams = zip(sizes, page_lists)

and

# zip return a generator on Py3
self.streams = list(zip(sizes, page_lists))

> Also, I've been involved in porting very large codebases and have never felt a need for static typing to assist. The "dynamic typing is only for tiny puny baby child's toy programs" meme does not reveal your sagacity; it reveals your ignorance.

Why would you not want assistance from the computer to automatically check things for you given the choice? Why would you not want ways to automatically refactor your code? Those are good reasons, not memes or ignorance... Basic refactorings like changing an ID field between being a number and a string type are just horrible with languages that have dynamic types and implicit conversions for example.
Why wouldn't we build a vehicle that can drive on streets, on rails, can fly, swim and dig through the earth? It would be a marvellous construction. And awful engineering.

I remember seeing a thing about how the primary cost for selling t-shirts online made in India (for example) was the last mile delivery.

At least in Japan, there's extreme turnover among these delivery people at the last mile that would go away.

I agree that it's not clear-cut, but to me it feels wasteful, at least in densely urban areas where 24 hour pickup windows at the PO/ "pickup-only" places are reasonable.

And for people at the margins (for example, people who have difficulty moving), you could imagine having the "direct to home" delivery service still existing, but no longer being the default. Not sure how you would know you have something though....
I was going to link the same article!

I think the interesting part is the similarity between haskell and clojure. Essetially programming to very small classes/protocols. The linked article is cool, because i think the java approach would generalize to the OP's C++ solution, and be able to eliminate that gross dynamic cast.
Well, this isn't exactly how I expected my PDB parsing library to end up on HN ;)

The bytes/string changeover is probably the biggest pain point for RE tools written in Python2. Indeed, despite lucasg's excellent work porting things over, there was still at least one byte/string issue that needed to be fixed:

I think that Walmart is a very strong competitor, and too easily dismissed by the tech crowd that wants to pretend they're unsophisticated because they aren't based on the west coast.

In many ways, Walmart is in a much stronger competitive position than Amazon, as they have "warehouses"/physical retail outlets within a reasonable driving distance of most Americans, and they're equipped to handle products that are not really feasible for someone like Amazon, who is still almost completely dependent on parcel carriers for access to the customer. Walmart does not have such external dependencies and Amazon is really only needed when the product is so obscure that Walmart wouldn't carry it.

Walmart has next-day grocery pickup, electronic receipts and payment via Walmart Pay, and several other high-tech features available. They've been acquiring e-commerce upstarts like Jet and Bonobos. A crew of Walmart delivery drivers that covered a 5 mile radius from each store is Amazon's nightmare.

I don't think it's wise to count Walmart out. The biggest challenge for them is internal, and whether forward-looking ecommerce advocates can win out against the visionless MBA types in resource competition.

Ask HN: How Would You Stop Sybil Attacks in a GBI Blockchain?
I've been thinking a lot lately about crypto and using some sort of coin w/ built in DAO's owned by everyone... where the coin is how much you get of real-profits from the DAOs which could be real estate rental properties, vc funds, saas apps, etc.....and you can also buy/trade coins like normal, -- but everyone who owns coins could earn a GBI as well as in they'd be paid dividends of coins daily/weekly etc... But the biggest problems keep coming back to --how do you ensure every participant is a single REAL person on the network with no duplicate accounts, etc?

Anyone have any thoughts on ways to do this?

I know so far Web Of Trust... maybe requiring Biometric scans... could have a bank tied into it where all funds from DAO's are deposited in USD, and each person would have to go through that bank's own verifications to ensure they're real people. But that would piss a lot of crypto-fans off who hate centralization altogether.

I believe I read about a month or so ago that Bezos plans on selling ~$1 billion worth of stock annually to fund BO, I could be misremembering the exact figures though. Even at that burn rate, assuming Amazon continues to do well, I don't think it will be too much of a drain on his wealth. Plus, he seems like a pretty long term thinker so I don't think he'll throw in the towel even in FH captures a big chunk of heavy lift. BO is currently investing around $200 million in a new production facility in Huntsville. I'd say it's more likely that Boeing/LockMart try to rid themselves of ULA than ULA acquiring BO.

Well, that's a refreshingly reasonable approach to frameworks!

I agree 100% that the biggest challenge solved by many of these frameworks is state management and, more specifically, capturing and reflecting state changes in the UI. Just seems that most frameworks start addressing this single issue, then get greedy; metastasizing their way up and down the stack. Suddenly, you're completely hooked in, using npm or similar to generate tons of boilerplate with framework-specific templating and a mini language, on top of a custom build process.

So, simplicity is kind of an amorphous concept here. Maybe you pick up the binding, but you've traded away a lot for it. I haven't had much experience with React, and maybe it does a better job of confining its intrusions to view state management. But, with Angular and others, I have seen and experienced these huge learning curves that make sound developers' heads explode. Like anything, we eventually get it and it becomes second nature, so the perceived complexity is hidden to some extent. So, we tend to say, "hey, look at this neat binding that simplifies my code". Meanwhile, we're completely overlooking the learning curve, boilerplate, build process, and MB-denominated framework file sizes.

>potentially being less flexible if the project’s needs change later as the big disadvantage

Interesting take, as it's usually the reverse you hear: that is, without a framework everything will devolve into utter chaos as the project grows and takes on new requirements.

My take is that, framework or no, at the end of the day nothing can take the place of good design. And, I guess that's really my larger point here. People tend to offer up "framework" as the one word answer to Web development these days, and I don't think that's a healthy state.
Well you could move to Baltimore and take the MARC train into your DC tech job if cheap housing is what you're optimizing for.
Sure, but on what timeframe? That's why small family businesses are some of the longest enduring - because their owners want them to generate earnings indefinitely. Investors who buy shares are often looking for much shorter term gains (1-5 years) and will put pressure on the board to sacrifice long term viability for a short term boost in share price.

It's different in that publicly traded company market caps are usually based on the value of common stock. The valuation touted in headlines for private companies is usually the implied value of a new, privileged block of stock. The common stock is not valued at the same amount.

But, only IPO all those special classes of stock convert to common stock. So in the success case, yes, valuation and market cap are eventually consistent.
Yeah AoM was the best. I was introduced to programming in their editor. Made it into a short turn based rpg.
I think I understand the point you're trying to make (modern apps draw to larger screens, and therefore must use more memory) but this is a poor comparison for a number of reasons. The most obvious of these reasons is that graphics cards are leagues ahead of where they were back in the days of Half Life. Sure the framebuffer takes a bit more memory, but a 4k frame is only about 32MB of memory at 32bits per pixel.

Anyway, you're root argument is still somewhat valid: Half Life was working with some really tiny constraints compared to modern machines, and did amazing things within those limits. Modern apps, were they coded to the same level of optimization as Half Life, should be much, much smaller and more efficient than they are. But as it turns out, the human cost of developing video game software is high, and the one area where Electron truly succeeds is in its ease of use. By driving development costs down for non-game apps, it balances out its high resource usage, and to a company producing software, that's enticing. I think that's awful (and would prefer to run optimized software personally) but the industry seems to disagree with me.
But writing a daunting block of text will often take more than 20 seconds. What you wrote comes off as an incredibly self-centred point of view.

If you're writing big paragraphs right off the bat, then perhaps you need to think about what your typing and refine things a bit more before you break someone's attention from what they are doing.

As Mark Twain wrote, “I didn’t have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead.” You shouldn't do this, even with instant messaging.

> If and when people start to reply promptly to messages…

And there's that air of entitlement again. There seems to be two wrong assumptions: First, that everyone is in front of their instant message client all the time; and second, that they're that invested in dropping everything they are doing to sink ten or twenty minutes of chat messages back and forth with you.
Yes, but they're usually unsound. If you rename a field in thousands of lines of JavaScript code for example, you've no guarantee it's still going to work because of JavaScript's dynamic nature. I'm not saying refactoring dynamically typed code it impossible, it just makes life harder and I don't understand why you'd want that if you had a choice.
That is a fairly simplistic viewpoint reality is a bit more complicated. Also to understand the psychology you would have to grow up in Soviet Union or something similarly f@#ed up.
Yes it's a sample problem but the natural conciseness of the Haskell compared to that C++ is almost comical.

You can count non-whitespace lines or lexical constructs and get a 3x reduction. But conceptually, the ability to have that much code so concise is way more than a 3x productivity gain.
> A woman's maternity is never in doubt but a man's paternity can be.

That's not always true. See the Lydia Fairchild case [1], and the earlier Karen Keegan case [2]. These are both cases where women were told, wrongly, based on genetic testing, that they were not the mothers of their children.

Fairchild was pregnant when the controversy over her maternity arose, and the court overseeing that controversy ordered a witness to attend the birth and ensure that blood samples were taken for testing from both Fairchild and the newly born child. Those samples were tested, and the result was that she was not the mother of that child.

How could this be? The answer turned out to be that both Fairchild and Keegan were chimeras. A chimera is a single organism composed of cells from different zygotes. This can happen when multiple fertilized eggs merge. In other words, both of these women were conceived as part of a set of fraternal twins, but sometime during development they merged with their twin.

Some organs and systems developed from one of the twins, some from the other, and so when you do a DNA test you get the DNA of one or the other, depending on where you sample. In Fairchild's case, for instance, DNA taken from her skin and hair did not match her children's DNA, but DNA from a cervical smear did.

Human chimeras are thought to be very very rare.

I have a theory that part of this is related to shrinking real economies. People use less energy, buy less stuff, etc. The real economy shrinks. Money has less utility. Business lags. Fewer employers can afford to pay competitively.

I think that the economic system assumes constant growth, and doesn't have a way to deal with the sustainable consumption rates that we are now trying to adjust to.
