Good arguments.

None the less, i think it's usefull to know the age, sex and interests of readers ( small client websites with some blogs).

Religion, political affiliation, your living arrangements, your relationship with your family, ... are none of the concern.

But i'm not sure that people are unhappy that ads are there. They just don't want to see them, without knowing why they are there or that it's privacy related ... ( subjective opinion of working with a lot of consumers)
Sure, I'm happy to help.

I think the tools section is mostly good to go, I'm on mobile and there is a lot of scrolling involved for each section. Perhaps make it even more modular and collapsable?

For the Jobs, I would suggest sorting and filtering like how Angel List provides.

It is cool to see a list of front end jobs, but it would be good to sort and filter by company size, location, etc if available.

What is your ultimate vision for the site?
> If this were true, salaries would be skyrocketing

In my corner of the world, they definitely are.

I think a lot of these discussions are complicated by the fact that there are essentially two developer job markets: prime and sub-prime. The prime developer market is for top-tier developers who work at top tech companies and startups, primarily in SV & NYC. The sub-prime developer market is all the developers working on companies whose primary product isn't software.

The hiring market for both markets looks very different, especially since people don't really recognize that as such. A hiring manager in the prime market might legitimately perceive there as being a shortage, even when receiving dozens or hundreds of resumes because the vast majority of those resumes are simply not qualified. When I was last hiring, we received plenty of resumes—but many of those resumes were from people who exclusively had Microsoft experience or simply maintained WordPress installations. They didn't meet my standard for a senior developer, and once we found someone who did meet that standard after months of searching we did whatever it took to hire them.

I don't feel like an outlier, since I'm looking at the market from the prime sector where it's normal and expected to have multiple competing offers.

There can be a shortage of senior developers while still having hundreds of applications for every open position because most of those applications won't pass the bar. If you're capable of passing that bar, you have your pick of positions.
The only innovation with Soylent is its triumph of marketing babble.

They have have taken what is possibly one of the least attractive products imaginable -- a product that is expensive, tastes awful and initially afflicts many people with diarrhea... and successfully marketed it.
It's a test. You can extrapolate the actual range when you change the launch angle to one that is optimal for distance.
It's not the position of the FSF who actually wrote the license. GPLv3 requires that users be able to install their own copies of the program onto the device. The device can allow a user-settable key in order to accomodate the requirement. No Apple keys need to be published.
I agree, but i'm Indian and i could relate more to what happened in India.
Understanding Asyncio in Python
Outsourcing companies are treating Workers like Employees and misclassifying them as "Contractors".

The Workers are told where to work, what time shifts to work, how to do their job, provided tools and equipment, and their pay is limited to minimum wage (or just marginally higher).

That's just straight up abusive and illegal. They are treated like Employees and therefore deserve the benefits of Employees; including healthcare and paid vacation.
Sure, but adding GA to a page is what I meant by copy/paste, this still happens everywhere outside of the build process. Then of course marketing needs to add 10 other things and they can't figure out whatever hip new build tool someone set up and then suddenly things get really messy.

Yes this happened even at whatever company you think is a paragon of engineering best practices and modern development.
I believe at the time in the UK not just homosexuality (cf. Alan Turing) but also depictions of it were illegal, so this was a way to have gay characters without the BBC directors or censors realising.

The article's author's point was the feasibility and reasonableness of testing 4 Billion entities (full 32-bit range). The linked sci-fi story is about testing 9 Billion entities (names of god in a given alphabet).

The relevancy is that a sci-fi author thought about applying this method over 60 years ago, and at the time it seemed like an insurmountable task for humans that could be solved with massive computers. With the unexpected consequence of ending the universe. And now anyone can do this on their desktop.
Not sure what you're saying is obvious. What makes you think they can't do this on their own?
Yea, I used to believe that fairy tale. "Just wait! The quality of your work will speak for itself" is nonsense. Reality is, for every person who uses the Hope And Prayer career development strategy, there's another person who hustles, self-promotes, or brown-noses their way into promotion after promotion. In most places, a raise that I get is a raise that you don't get, so you really have to think about it as a competition.
This is a plot point in season one of Silicon Valley, for whatever that's worth.

Wait.... thats even worse than "stop challenging". Yes, clarifying that it must be done with a warrant is nice, but this doesn't solve the problem they were challenging which was that the seizure orders can often conflict with the laws of the areas where the data is.

So British people want better things than American people? BBC quality vs American?

The networks aren't in business to give people what they want. They're in business to make money, and doing what sells easily is the usual way to make that money. The BBC have a different business model, so they don't have to chase the money that way.

Jobs is talking as if people can afford the things they want - if he instead said that "the construction industry builds tons of cheap, shitty housing, because that's what people want! It's the truth!", it'd be immediately obvious that he was speaking blubbering nonsense.

I've seen many cases where specific implications and consequences from vague ideas of the details could not possibly have emerged until a bunch of code is written.

Obviously it could have been found during planning but it never would have. It's hard to get people to think in that much detail without anything concrete.

Edit: with the exception of literal rocket scientists -- they're very good at planning and getting the details right compared to the average person.
Alphabet has too much money syndrome. It's a nice problem to have; they obviously don't have enough good stuff to invest in. Lyft/Uber have no special sauce. They have a quickly growing revenue stream with dubious profit potential. That's it. Consumer internet is AlphaGoogle's bread and butter. They could easily put these guys out of business.

Regulatory concern and Wall Street accounting image management would be the justification for this kind of deal.
Even Hamas can launch rockets with pitiful infrastructure, what makes you think a nation like North Korea that has granted itself the capability of using all productivity and resources in the land wouldn't be able to do this?
One site ( a non profit, where donators also complain about how much money they spend on servers and wages), can't be a reference for an online business. The chance to duplicate this is minimal + it has thousands of free employees / volunteers that don't need to be paid.

The change, cookies can't track users. Will probably be a loss of ad revenue per user, more companies that will have paid subscriptions and a lot of knowledge / news / interesting stories will be behind a paywall --> Personal opinion.

If you only need a encyclopedia, then you don't need to pay anywhere or "free payment through ads". If you sometimes scroll HN and read content for free, then i'm not sure if the content, that you want to read, is only available on Wikipedia.

I think a lot of that content is actually produced by paid journalists, that work for big media companies.
I've been thinking a little about the economics of self driving cars and it seems to make sense that they'd seek a partnership with a ride sharing service. While I guess the eventual goal could be "a self driving car in every garage", you'd probably pay for more for one if (1) you're using it all the time (high utilization), and (2) it introduces some other kind of savings (like not having to pay a driver). Consumers have neither really but taxi/trucking companies would have both. I guess it's a question of how much the hardware is really going to cost. Does anybody know of publications that talk about the economics here?

This isn't really true in the market today. 100G switches have emerged at roughly the same cost per port as 40G from a couple of years ago and, indeed, can often accept both 40 and 100 gig optics. Even at list price the cost per port for 100G switching has been under $1K for more than a year.

As a result it's actually fairly common to find new DC fabrics (read: inter-switch connections, not end hosts) being built with 100G because there's no significant economic disadvantage to doing so. That said, the pricing for inter-site 100G is still high enough that it hasn't commonly made its way to smaller organizations.
Worse than that is all the GPL-licensed stuff, which are stuck in 2007 because Apple has a vendetta against GPLv3

Your point is valid, but just wait till you encounter "isomorphic javascript". Web development uses formal terms in a more "feels like" way than academic literature, sadly.
I'm kinda surprised to see Go score so low on some of these, given that it's AOT-compiled to native code, and that its memory model and safety guarantees are optimization-friendly.

I'm also kinda surprised that OCaml scored that high, considering how high-level it is.

Well my assumption is that liberty, life, and property are things that can be taken away.

edit: I may have misunderstood your comment. I mean that human rights are things that are violated by taking them away, not failing to give them to you. So while life can be taken from you, doing so would violate human rights. Whereas arguing that internet is a human right doesn't work with this model, because the current violation of that 'right' doesn't just result from someone taking something away, but from someone failing to give it to you.

Do you still consider it an "absurd generalization"?

How many years does it take for the benefits of slavery to disappear? I think it's far longer than you do.

British slavery meant more income to the government, which lead to a better navy, which lead to the ability to defend the triangle trade. A better navy helped advance British imperialism. How might Trafalgar have turned out with a weaker British navy?

British control of sugar production was built on slavery. But even once the slaves were free in a legal sense, the black population of ex-slaves was still at the bottom of the social ladder. The white landowners kept political and economic control for generations, and the profits went to Britain.

In the US, institutionalized racism, not just in localized Jim Crow laws and sundown towns, but also in federal policies like redlining, prevented generations of blacks from getting the same economic benefits as whites. (See Richard Rothstein's “The Color of Law”; interview at http://www.npr.org/2017/05/03/526655831/a-forgotten-history-... .) I know less about British history, but I do know how many thought the "Anglo-Saxon race" was above all others.

You earlier wrote: "Furthermore, the civil war that was waged to end slavery ultimately brought economic ruin to the southern States that had relied on slave labour."

I don't think you appreciate the full impact of slavery on the US or British economies. Quoting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_the_United_States#A... :

> slavery was entwined with the national economy; for instance, the banking, shipping and manufacturing industries of New York City all had strong economic interests in slavery, as did similar industries in other major port cities in the North. The northern textile mills in New York and New England processed Southern cotton and manufactured clothes to outfit slaves. By 1822 half of New York City's exports were related to cotton

and from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Cotton#History

> By 1860, on the eve of the American Civil War, cotton accounted for almost 60% of American exports, representing a total value of nearly $200 million a year.

Even though slavery was banned in the British Empire, Britain still profited from slave labor carried out elsewhere. The cotton mills of Lancashire produced a huge fraction of the world's processed cotton. You know where that cotton came from? The forced labor of American slaves.

Quoting now from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lancashire_Cotton_Famine :

> When the slave-owning Southern States of America demanded secession from the United States of America and declared war in 1861, the cotton supply was interrupted at first by a Southern imposed boycott and then a Union blockade. The South's thinking was that it could force British support through an economic boycott. ... Of the 1,390,938,752 lb of raw cotton 1,115,890,608 lb came from America.(80 %) ... Confederate flags were flown in many cotton towns.

Britain's economy profited from American slavery even until the 1860s, and they knew it.
Annotating variants with Hail
My guess is that what you describe as the "prime" developer market represents 1% of the tech labor force, surely no more than 10%. Much smaller than you think it is. There are plenty of talented people, even in these "top" tech companies, who do not have 6-7 offers thrown at them regularly and have to slug it out with the rest of us in a brutal labor market. I think what is being argued here is whether collective action would be beneficial to the remaining 90-99%.
>Who's helping them and what's their objective?

Who's helping them is obvious - China.

What's their objective? Destabilizing and undermining American military hegemony in their sphere of influence and establishing themselves as Asia's sole superpower. I don't know how North Korea works into that, though. Maybe China just wants a proxy to harass the US with while having politically plausible deniability. Maybe they're hoping to step in when NK takes it too far and look like heroes, while making the US look feckless and weak.

User-settable keys also compromise the security of the device.

The most plausible approach is one outlined in another comment in this thread wherein you get a new key when factory-resetting the device and if you don't write it down it's gone forever, but even that approach will likely cause problems with Activation Lock. And in general it's risky to introduce stuff like this because the potential for unforeseen security compromises is very high, and the upside is very low (the number of people who'd actually take advantage of this is extremely low relative to the number of iPhone users).
Coincidentally, The Cassini mission to Saturn comes to its scheduled end in a few hours. From what I have read about how NASA develops software, it is essentially a waterfall process, and I am fairly certain that its programmers have more than a vague idea of what they are doing when they write code.

"but you would never get some file handling / parsing library into boost, or the standard, that did that."

Why would anyone want to write code that would go into either of those? In the general sense, I mean.

Good production code is simple and is implemented preferably verbosely and understandably than cleverly.

Speaking of good software patterns, I'm not sure boost nor STL are great examples of good software architecture. Boost especially is very templatey-bloatey. The biggest merit of STL is that is exists.

"installing libraries can be fiddly."

Does anyone really need to do that? Install C++ specific libraries I mean. In 10+ years I've never developed C++ software that would not store all of it's dependencies part of the project hierarchy or sub-structure, except for the standard library.

The worst part of C++ is that is has these warts that subtly guide developers into copying all sorts of patterns for their own sake because they are seen "as the standard way to do it". Object orientation and templates should not be considered the basic building blocks of the archictecture of a C++ program, but rather escape valves when some usage pattern would end up more complex without them.

For example, when someone spends long production time creating an elegant template based solution for whatever, generally it is an indication that something is wrong somewhere. There are of course exceptions to this rule, but just saving some boilerplate is never a good reason to do it.

I don't know whether to think it is real, or that it is a myth. It's true that tech companies are picky, it's true that salaries are not skyrocketing. Open reqs attract hundreds of unqualified applicants, at least, that was my impression.

I just wanted to add, this is inline with my experience. It is difficult to get multiple offers to align in the manner suggested.
in china, google services have been blocked by the gfw for some time now, after a few months of requiring vpn just to access gmail and websites, i decided to switch to other products, for example, outlook.com for email. in china, life is fine without google, i use baidu maps, youku/iqiyi video, outlook.com for email, i'm already using an iphone so the lack of a play store is irrelevant. i imagine this would be worse for places where there aren't local solutions where google is the best or only solution for things like maps.
My point wasn't that garbage collection is more efficient than people think, but that "manual" memory allocation is less efficient than people think.
Possibly, but it's in the right neighborhood. It depends on whether we're counting from the time of design/initial fabrication or actual mass production and general sale.

The point is that 12.5Gb/s SerDes pretty much means they'd be practically to 10/40G. At least in the DC networking world this puts it several generations back.
