I agree with you, completely. In fact, more than completely -- it's likely that there are a large number of signals that we didn't even think of as signals that a reasonably intelligent, resourceful alien detective could use to find us. My mind immediately jumps to the specific chemical composition of the metals, for instance. Or perhaps remnant zodiacal dust grains that will certainly be on it. Even simple orbital backtracking is likely to be successful on any reasonable timescale (and for unreasonable timescales, who's to say we won't be very obvious in ways that are much, much faster to be received than Voyager).

Yeah, unfortunately that's the problem. It's probably worth doing what you suggest for multi-day vacations though (and un-doing when I'm back to my desk).
That would fix things for a few years at best, and then it would likely end up even more expensive than the bay area.

In the case of seL4, they are WCET (Worst Case Execution Time). That's as "contended" as it can possibly get.

They do provide formal proof of WCET, so these numbers are solid.
This. Also, I've muted all channels that I read to generally stay abreast of what's going on in the company but rarely to never need to actively participate in. And #random.

If you (or you and a group of allies) have the ability to influence your company's Slack culture, the following can help.

1) No one should ever @channel unless they absolutely positively need everybody's attention immediately that very moment. "The website is down! All hands on deck!" "There's a rabid raccoon loose in the office! Evacuate!" @here is slightly less awful but should still be used sparingly.

2) If you need someone's attention, @mention them. If you do require a group's attention, @here the appropriate channel. If you do this consistently, people can disable notifications for non-mentions and assume that any channel that has unreads but no mentions may be read at their leisure - instead of having to constantly keep up with dozens of conversations.

3) Use and teach people to use highlight words so they can get notifications of conversation topics that require their presence, and ignore other unread channels.

4) Set aside a channel or two for global or large-group announcements that aren't necessarily urgent. "We're ordering t-shirts. Tell the office manager what size you want." "Our phone system has a scheduled outage next Tuesday from 2-4pm."

5) The larger your organization and the busier your Slack, the more granular you need your channels to be. For instance, in a company of 5-10, you might have a single channel for all discussions of product, and another for sales, marketing, and partnerships. In a larger company you'll need to separate out channels for client vs server engineering; for engineering vs design; for engineering and design vs QA, and more. Don't make your designers try to filter out what content is relevant for them in a combined design and engineering channel or force your QA folks to ignore a whole bunch of technobabble in order to find the discussions that are relevant to them. Don't be afraid to break out project-specific channels too. If a conversation crosses boundaries, only then bring it to a more general channel.

Counterpoint I wrote a while back that focuses on compilation speed: http://benhoyt.com/writings/language-speed/

I've used Scala a fair bit recently, and the compiler is so dog slow it's painful. Maybe it's just my relative fluency with Python, but I find I'm much more productive with Python's almost instant edit-compile-run sequence.

Edit: I do like many of the benefits of static typing, though. I think mypy is coming into its own in the Python community, especially now with Guido behind it. Maybe this kind of optional typing is the best of both worlds...

Personally, I did never feel that way. Either types come out mechanically and just mean some more typing slowing me down because they don't say anything interesting, or creating the types is exactly "proving that I'm even able to do it".

I tried, but I can't recall any single time when thinking about types distracted me from thinking about the problem.

Moreover, writing down the types by creating stub functions is a great method of designing.

Languages get used because they cover specific use cases or libraries.

UNIX -> C

Browser -> JavaScript

Data Science -> Python, R, Julia, Chapel, C++

Windows Development -> .NET languages, C and C++

Android -> Java, Kotlin, C and C++

macOS, iOS, tvOS, watchOS -> Objective-C, Swift, C and C++

Docker, Kubernetes -> Go

Game development -> Assembly, C, C++ and C#

High performance data switches -> Erlang

Of course one is free to use outlier languages and try to bend them into specific use cases, but then one also has to live with less tooling as the ones that are the "platform language" for the specific use case.

Throughout my career I always kept an open mind to try out new programming languages and paradigms, but in what concerns production code I learned the hard way to only use the official platform languages.

Neither is underpaying employees, which companies like Infosys are known to do on a massive scale. If they really want the talented engineers to stay, they should consider paying them market level salaries, having a clear career path etc.

An H1B is not a promise to the employer, BTW. It is a regulatory requirement imposed by the US Government, and not everyone gets it (you gotta have a college degree, masters degree helps, and then get it through a lottery process). If an employee gets a better offer, he/she should absolutely take that offer.
Maybe I haven't met a true 10x programmer but met plenty who pretend that they are 10x. I would say those 10X programmers that I had "pleasure" of working with, are net negative to overall productivity.

In my experience, 10x programmers are hard to manage, they complain all the time, no one wants to work with them, their ego gets bruised easily.

But you keep them around because they seem really smart until you look at overall work produced. They might produce 10x work over a weekend but over longterm, they hardly produce any more work than average programmer.

In my interview process, if anyone even slightly hints that they are smarter than average, I end interview immediately. My team is composed of average programmers who get along and have fun working together.

As another guess at the difference gamblers feel: another aspect to the situation is whether the potential outcomes include a large reward, or if the best outcome is just 'less bad'.

A lot of times in the engineering situation we have to make these critical decisions which have a large impact on how the rest of some project goes. But the attitude generally seems to be about mitigating negative consequences, and not really hoping for or working toward some very positive outcome.

There is a similar analog in a lot of human behavior. Part of how I characterize it to myself is whether I feel that I'm, "digging myself out of a hole" or just striving for the highest gain possible (while lower gain is also fine). They two create vastly different experiences, the latter being far more positive.

I was kafkes's guide on this project, and the WAL-E author and maintainer...

I'd say the differences between WAL-G and Barman are similar to WAL-E and Barman, which comes up relatively frequently. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13573481

In summary, WAL-E is simpler program all around that focuses on cloud storage, barman does more around inventories of backups and file-based backups and configuring Postgres. There are integrative downsides to its span. WAL-E also happens to predate Barman.

> Here, "binary" simply means "not text", just as for instance images or zipped files are binary.

If it's not text, then what is it? I'm not sure "not text" is a good definition of the word "binary".

> A compiler typically goes from a high-level language to a lower-level language, losing data.

I don't agree, I don't think there is any loss in data, the compiled-to representation should cover everything you wanted to do (I suppose not counting tree-shaking or comment removal).

> I prefer calling this a compression mechanism, insofar as you can decompress without loss (well, minus layout and possibly comments).

Ahh, so you mean without losing the original textual representation of the source file.

> Wasm is about native code

Here you are making claims about their project that are just not the whole picture. Here's the one-line vision from their homepage[1]:

> WebAssembly or wasm is a new portable, size- and load-time-efficient format suitable for compilation to the web.

With that description in mind, how do you see BinAST as different?

> Well, we're trying to solve a different problem :)

I think you might be misunderstanding what wasm is intended for. Here's a blurb from the wasm docs that is pertinent:

> A JavaScript API is provided which allows JavaScript to compile WebAssembly modules, perform limited reflection on compiled modules, store and retrieve compiled modules from offline storage, instantiate compiled modules with JavaScript imports, call the exported functions of instantiated modules, alias the exported memory of instantiated modules, etc.

The main difference I can gather is that you are intending BinAST to allow better reflection on compiled modules than wasm intends to support.

Here's another excerpt from their docs (and others have mentioned this elsewhere):

> Once GC is supported, WebAssembly code would be able to reference and access JavaScript, DOM, and general WebIDL-defined objects.

OK, now would be so kind as to pretend that we've been leaked your birth year and state of birth?

Before you answer, you may want to poke your answers into this site and have a look at the outcome: https://www.ssn-check.org/lookup/

Caveat: This tracks your issue date, not truly your birthdate. In the past couple of decades many/most babies get registered at birth, but if I stick my own (birth) data in there I actually get the wrong answer, because when I was born issuance wasn't automatic yet. But that will work for a lot of people.
Docker built a better mousetrap.

I'm so curious to understand how you pitch Docker at a 1.3BUSD valuation. With I assume a potential valuation of ~10BUSD to give the investors a decent exit?

Does anyone have an insight into this?

Looks like Github's last valuation was at 2BUSD. That also seems high, but I can understand this somewhat better as they have revenue, and seem to be much more widely used/accepted than Docker. In addition to that I can see how Github's social features are valuable, and how they might grow into other markets. I don't see this for Docker...

It may be victim blaming, but having 3 months of work and it only exists on one hard drive on one computer isn't very bright. He learned the hard way. I mean honestly, disk drives fail. PCs break. The code should never be in only one place regardless.
Also, coming from VSS to Git has been, and still is, one of the hardest things I do as a windows dev. I hate git. It is non-intuitive and I have accidentally deleted my work before also, the difference being that I have it stored else where to get it too.
The company's aim is to import low-wage labour on the promise of access to the states. The employee's aim is to obtain access to the states in exchange for accepting sub-standard wages.

I'm not sure how savvy employees jumping ship is a moral failing of the employee rather than a retention rate issue to be addressed by the company.

Nothing specific. It is being used to convey that the code was written at an emotional high or low maybe when the author was tired or under time pressure to get something that worked.
Why do people agree to work in such conditions? Please don't be offended by my question, but my impression was that literacy is very high in China, and everyone gets basic education.

Erlang with dialyzer is a great "mix", it allows you to move as quickly you would with a dynamic language and, as long as you define the type specs, have a reassuring type safety. Of course it's nowhere near haskell's or elms type safety because, as you said, dialyzer follows the success typing model, sort of like an optimistic one ("you are correct until I prove you otherwise"), and haskell and elm follow the opposite way ("you are wrong until you prove me otherwise ").

It's a tradeoff, as everything else in computer science, and one that has worked for us. Can't recommend both erlang and dialyzer enough :)
I have no regrets.
Go 1.9 Release Party [slides]
The original comment I was responding to in the article was concerning the ways humans were unique from animals. I'm not describing intelligence full stop, or claiming that animals are the basis for intelligence or reasoning. I'm not saying animals need to be like humans to be intelligent. My point is that the thing that makes humans unique from animals is our ability to reason, our cogitative powers.

They don't need to do it in the same way humans do; they don't do it in the same way humans do. In the absence of language, they have no way of expressing the depths of cogitation in the same way humans can.

In regards to your last question, I have found PMS Hacker a particularly compelling author in this area. He is a very good analytical philosopher. His works are peer-reviewed, and extensively researched and amply sourced. He's an established professional philosopher. He has also written extensively with M.R. Bennet, an established neuroscientist with many papers, a good book of theirs is: The Philosophical Foundations of Neuroscience (http://ca.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-140510838X...)

I'm not a professional scientist, I don't have access to papers. I have access to books.

All while constantly listening to the yelling/banging of the peddlers, up and down, and up and down the aisle. Mercifully the cabin was somewhat air conditioned.
