"Maybe a first step YC could take is by taking the request for an age of founders off the YC application or creating a diverse funded pool."

Absolutely. And not only are there people over 31 (I know you agree, just adding to it) with great ideas, ambition, and drive, there are actually people over 40, 50 and 60 with the same. Generation X fell into a terrible trap and I don't see it written about much. When the Gen Xers were of what is considered peak professionalism age now (early 20s), there were no jobs for them until they proved themselves by going into massive debt to get multiple graduate degrees. When they were finally done with that process, so they could "prove" their worth, they were tacitly told that they were too old to work starting at age 37 or so. As a Gen Xer, I've watched this happen to practically every accomplished person I know. Those who have not been crushed under the wheel, picked themselves and their two PHDs up off the floor and retrained themselves in tech only to be treated like they know absolutely nothing, or are a poor "culture fit". They seem doomed to have to prove themselves over and over again to be shoved aside. When we speak of college debt, we only speak of millennials, but GenX was the first suffering generation, and they got nothing at all for that debt. The only way for GenXers to get a decent job these days is either to lie about their age if they can or to depend upon connections and get a job that isn't based upon merit. Let's face it, everyone needs a connection, but the GenXers are surrounded by colleagues who are in the process of lying and other millennial colleagues who use Botox already. So many of these people are great at so many things, and yet companies pretend that if someone has not been VP of social media marketing, they have no idea how to write good copy. There is this strange need to have specialized in mico professions that aren't lifetime pursuits as though they actually are great art forms. It would be wonderful iif some of these accomplised folks could have opportunities to use their accumulated skills instead of gradually becoming homeless with advanced degrees.

I won't lie. They are difficult to overcome. I really advocate going a full XP style if you are going to do pair programming. Getting really good at TDD makes such a huge difference. You can drill down into one aspect of the design and build it up -- because you are isolating it, it reduces the amount of conversation necessary. You can say, "How about we start with object X and see where it takes us", even if you have a pretty good idea where it's going to go. Those who are lost are given something to hang on to and focus on. But it's also important to be flexible because often you have a whole architecture in your mind and your pair starts taking it in another direction. It's good to allow it to move forward, checking in code as you go, without fear that it's all somehow going to be ruined.

On my team, I often say that I know exactly one way to be really, really successful -- XP. There are other ways to be successful, I'm sure, but that's the way I know how to do it. If you start mixing and matching techniques, it gets harder and harder to find a path towards excellence -- because you are walking through the unknown. Although I'm a huge advocate for pair programming on an XP team, I don't really recommend it for other types of teams because I don't know how to make it work well.

(Just to be clear, I can be successful using other techniques, but the kinds of success I've had on highly functional XP teams, I've never seen anywhere else before)

Indeed, I considered the idea of installing Ubuntu Server and then putting CentOS 7 into a KVM guest. In the end, just using a desktop machine for the testing system was more practical.

I would have been far happier if they retained the driver as an "unsupported" option with a warning during installation, rather than flat-out removing it.
I used to work selling and maintaining instruments primarily to physician's offices. They were all 50k+. It depends on the tests being run, and what type of insurances the patients have. If they have good insurance that doesn't require the blood sent out to Quest or other mega lab company, they can make decent money on specialty chemistry tests.

And yes, these doctors would order absolutely everything they can bill for as it was going in their pocket. Homocystine, and Vitamin D are 2 high reimbursement tests they liked a lot.

However as I always said about Theranos they have no technology that could possibly work for a wide variety of analytes, and this is already a very competitive market in both equipment and labs. They still don't have a chance. I have no idea how people were so fooled by this. A 40+ billion dollar long existing industry that relies on heavily regulated hard science is not going to be disrupted by a college dropout.
I'd expect quiz creators might find embedded feedback from users to be of value - "Report a problem" or "Send comment to author". Even with play testing, quiz bugs turn up in use.

At least for me, I've found learning from user testing feedback to be like consulting, in that confidence that I totally understand what's going on, is a big red warning flag with sparkles. :) In part, because getting from what users say, to what they need, is such performance art.
well, that sounds like one heap of bullshit. Let us know when it IPOs so we can short it.

Has anyone ported Aphyr's type-level 8-queens code (https://aphyr.com/posts/342-typing-the-technical-interview) to this typesystem?

I tried porting it to Rust a bit back but got stymied by, uh, the typesystem trying to resolve equality in the wrong direction (by adding type constructors instead of removing them) or something. I guess that's UndecidableInstances maybe?

In the case of BRK.B, the shares still have voting rights, unlike SNAP and GOOG (C).

I've always been impressed that people would buy GOOG instead of GOOGL at such a small discount. 1.8% is not a lot to pay for voting rights.

> That's like saying busybox is an operating system

I think that I will have to disagree with that. Instead I would argue that it is actually like saying that Busybox + Linux is an operating system as defined by POSIX or like saying that if Busybox had its own kernel it would be its own operating system as defined by POSIX.

> GNU is not an operating system, but some small projects that are used as minor components of Linux distributions

In my previous post I mentioned some of the components that allow GNU to be used as a modern and POSIX compatible OS. It just so happens that most Bash distributions instead of using GNU Mach use Linux as their kernel.

> as minor components of Linux distributions

I think that calling them as "minor components" is quite a bold claim.

> Nobody uses them

Does not change the fact that they are both part of the GNU project. Nor does it change the fact that one can use them in order to run the GNU operating system without 3rd party software.
> Why only them?

I did initially question their path to success but I later made it clear that I saw them becoming dividend paying, slow moving utility type companies. I said that same thing in multiple ways in my reply to you.

The competitors like HBO or Hulu are privately held and are therefore less susceptible to market sentiment turning against them.

(Also, I may be wrong about this but your tone sound antagonistic to me. Please don't impute motives like "crush for them over their competitors." Not only do I not know what you mean by it, I really don't feel like engaging with anyone who talks like this.)
It seems very unlikely that Spain would have immediately adopted a stable, multiparty parliamentary democracy after Franco if it were not literally surrounded by a community of European nations that it interacted with intimately.

The right to self determination for every nation is the bedrock of the international system that Europeans created after centuries of bloody religious strife. Not sure how Hong Kong is a great example, unless you're proposing to go back to the days of colonialism and Westerners imposing their rules and values by force.
I've learned that Chinese vegetarians also want to eat them, and mock meats are quite a staple of a lot of Chinese vegetarian cooking. (But indeed not of the other cuisines that you mention.)

They did that. It apparently wasn't enough. When I signed up a few years ago, I did a thing where I wrote and recorded a song a day for a month. A few days in, I had to start handing Soundcloud money for a Pro account so I could upload more songs. And when I forgot to renew in 2015, my stuff temporarily disappeared.

IDK what they do nowadays. I only release a new song every couple of months.

Hey gorm, there are a few where once you get into them.. you realize they are a bit more complicated to use or just don't suit your needs. I tend to favor CSS the most and stay away from sass and less platforms, even though performance is supposedly better.

I think it really depends on personal preference. I have stayed away from using the larger CSS frameworks. I won't mention them because I don't think it's right to "call out" CSS frameworks when its just my own personal usage of some frameworks over others.

For my only real experience with amazon (audible) the quality of their app is a negative, I'd much prefer they made an API available. The same can be said of others, I'd much rather native apps connecting to a netflix API than use their awful web player.
npm host half a million packages. It is impossible to manually QA anything. People also rename and re-publish unmaintained packages pretty often.

The problem is JS that lack sensible standard library. Node is at fault.

We generally want the compiler to finish within a reasonable amount of time and either give a compiled version of the program or an error message. This is literally impossible if the type system is Turing complete, because the type checker could loop forever and you'd be unable to detect the difference between a program that can't be compiled and one that just takes a long time to compile.

Ask HN: What high level language for writing a command line utility?
I notice that a number of shell utilities are written in c. I have some ideas for some utilities, but I won't be learning c anytime soon. And, it would seem to introduce a level of low level concerns, such a memory management, that would be a pain for a small, simple utility.

What high level language would you recommend for writing a utility? Off the top of my head, it seems that python and ruby would be the top contenders. Bash itself seems to simple to write a decent sized utility in; I understand things like arrays are cumbersome
That are a vast number of laws that are designed to enrich one party at the expense of another. They are nearly always portrayed by the captured regulators as being for the safety of the citizenry when actually they are primarily for the purpose of enriching themselves and their cronies. One could argue that it is every citizen's duty to circumvent or directly violate those laws in the interest of fairness to all citizens. One could go further and assert that supporting such laws is immoral since as a result many people lose freedom of choice, freedom of speech, freedom to associate or move about, have reduced access to knowledge and opportunities, and the list goes on.

Not if you remove certs from your browser trust store. If I understand correctly a browser has no obligation to follow your OS trust store. If someone here knows, what browser actually trust OS certificates in addition to its own trust store?
I'm working on a node-based REST endpoint. It's nothing special - it looks up stuff in the database, does CRUD things, pokes postgres, has a cache layer in redis, a websocket for handling sidechannel stuff like model update events for realtime data updates and so on. It has 514 dependencies in total. It's actually only 39 real dependencies, the rest are subs and sub-subs (after removing duplicates).

Also, some of those 39 dependencies are things I wrote (various general-purpose ORM type mappers for different styles of datastore), so I guess that number could be a bit lower.

Either way, there is a lot of verification to do here. And there's two different kinds of attacks. The dangerous attack that automated key lookups and signing can protect against would be someone publishing a malicious version n+1 of a library I wrote or rely on (either hacking the npm credentials or just buying access as in the case of the minimap / autocomplete-python debacle from last week). In that case, the key change might be noted, but then again, people lose access to keys so you'd want to have ways for package authors to revoke and reissue keys (in which case compromised or purchased credentials might not be noted).

Another type of attack is the one we're seeing here - a typo attack. Without protections of the type discussed in maybekatz's tweet (in that thread), it's pretty hard to see you're in a typo attack. The malicious publisher can still sign a malicious package, and if you accidentally install crossenv instead of cross-env, there's no protection from signing. Again, unless you are manually auditing all 500+ dependencies in your tree by figuring out who the author should be, since you're viewing the npm-reported information as potentially compromised you'll need to find other connections to that person.

At this point, you've basically recreated a web-of-trust architecture, with all the challenges that go with it. This isn't simple, I don't think isaacs and the rest of the npm crew are maliciously ignoring obvious answers. It's more likely that the actual answers are hard to find and harder to scale.

The answer ultimately is: we need to audit all the code we use, or have someone else we trust audit the code we use. And if we're not auditing it ourselves, we probably have to pay someone else to do that, and that's not cheap. Walled gardens have their benefits, but explosive growth and rapid invention / iteration / elaboration is not one of them.
It's not that users don't care, they just don't know it's an issue or who to blame. When they're out of space on their phone the blame whatever company logo appears on the phone, they don't blame the authors of a dozen bloated apps they installed.

Without knowing more about how many prospective customers are in a 5 mile radius it is hard to advise.

That said, right off the bad I get concerned when I see zero data on conversions, CPAs, click-to-call conversions, etc. You can't really measure performance for this sort of thing just by spend and clicks, particularly at that low volume.

Get tracking setup first and foremost. And even if they can't pay online, look for other events you can tag as "micro-conversions" that that help form a funnel. Maybe it is checking pricing, maybe it is submitting a form for more info. Just get SOMETHING there to make a more informed decision off of. And then make sure you actually keep at it until you get a decent amount of data with which to make a decision.

That's the best I can suggest to start. Everything else stems from that.
That line from the C/C++ "fix" is an atrocity; `low`, `mid`, and `high` should never have been declared as signed integers in the first place, since array indices are never negative. It's unfortunate that in Java there is no other option than to use signed ints.
