At least in regard to the Linux kernel, the interesting thing about this code base is that you can study the different sections separately. For instance the networking code, the VFS, the scheduler, are quite isolated from other stuff. However this also means that there is a variety of authors writing a variety of unrelated parts, in practical terms is a non uniform code base so it's hard to have an evaluation that works for everything. Btw, some of the parts I liked less are the ones written by Linus :-) Because he tends to make things a bit implicit in certain cases apparently. The VFS layer is an example.

I've been using redis + resque[1] for a few side projects and I have to say I'm glad that streams are getting first class support in redis. I was always a little wary of hacking this sort of functionality on top of redis lists. It worked, but it sort of seemed a little bit fragile.

I actually disagree, from what has happened when trying ads ads (basically micropayments in terms of $ amount per view), we get click bait and sensationalist headlines for any news source which focuses on income-per-article-metrics.
Article | Front End Engineer | Vancouver, BC | ONSITE, https://www.article.com

Article is a vertically integrated online furniture brand. I am looking for several Software Engineer to join my development team.
Here are some of the exciting problems you can work on while at Article:

1) Traditional furniture companies sends out millions of physical catalogues. We think are inefficient and costly. Can you build the ultimate digital alternate to the physical catalogue?

2) We manage our own Transportation and Deliveries. Can you optimize and automate the warehouse and final mile carrier selection for a shipment?

3) Furniture takes lot of space and they are costly to store and ship. Can you answer the question What product should keep in stock, how much should we keep in stock and where should we stock them?

4) We currently operate our own warehouses. Can you predict where and when should we open our next warehouse?

5) Current generation of warehouse management systems are geared towards small items. Furniture is huge and bulky. Can you design and build an efficient software for managing and shipping furniture at scale?

6) https://www.article.com is the only way to buy our furniture. Can you create a better customer experience?
Static typing reduces the time you spend on debugging. Automatically reducing errors in code is not just for reducing errors in the resulting program. It also greatly reduces the time you spend on hunting bugs, especially if you have a poorly designed type systems where errors are reported far from their origin. Null, interface{}, NaN etc. propagates errors and thus gives you a stacktrace that is worthless when it finally fails. It's a waste of time.
It would just be easier for Facebook to build their own VPN for China.

It's actually fairly easy to get around the Great Firewall of China
Same thing at my company. We've been trying to fill out our team roster for the better part of a year and ended up hiring from overseas to find the talent and relocate them to the region.

To be fair, we didn't have zero local interest, but the applicants we did get were a fairly interesting parade of awful.
Soundslice | Product designer | REMOTE | Full time

Soundslice (https://www.soundslice.com/) is "living sheet music." We make web-based, responsive music-notation technology that you can listen to and interact with. The goal is to be the best way to learn any piece of music.

See https://www.soundslice.com/demo for an example. It's one of the coolest HTML5 web apps in the world that's an actual business and not a project. When I originally posted it to HN, it stayed at the top of the homepage for the better part of a day and was universally praised: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4790636

Soundslice is a small (two-person) business -- you'd be the third. It's proudly bootstrapped and makes money.

We're looking for a designer. Somebody who's good at the whole design process -- understanding problems, creating mockups, implementing in HTML/CSS. You must also be a musician at some level.

WHY WORK HERE:

* You'd work on an amazing product that helps people learn music.

* Design is front-and-center of our product. Much of its value is pure design/UX.

* Excellent work/life balance.

* You'd work with me (one of the people who created Django, plus some other stuff; see holovaty.com). I'm an experienced developer and can teach you a lot, if you're open to it.

More info is at https://www.soundslice.com/blog/53/job-product-designer-at-s... and feel free to email me (Adrian Holovaty) at adrian@soundslice.com.

[No, we are not hiring a programmer. Designers only, please!]
>Later, his idea of then taking shotgun sequencing and applying it to whatever DNA you could find floating in the Sargasso Sea or any random teaspoon of dirt literally opened a whole new world of evolutionary biology.

This field is called metagenomics and Venter did not come up with the idea nor was the first to publish in it. There was a 2002 paper of shotgun environmental DNA sequencing on viral communities, and the Tyson + Banfield 2004 paper came out in March while his came out in April. Craig gave metagenomics some needed publicity but I don't think anyone would say he advanced the field or contributed much to how metagenomics is done today.
Ah, that makes sense. Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation!
Just a minor correction: if you provide a stable API for querying the database, you can ignore the technological details on the caller side, the website.
So if I'm reading this correctly, you need to quote your text, and it can't be multi-line... why not this:

alias notes='cat >> ~/notes'

Just hit ctrl+c (stops cat) or ctrl+d (signals EOF) when you're done writing. No quoting, special characters that might act funny, line or size limits, etc.
There’s two main formation pathways for black holes: ongoing stellar collapse and galaxy collapse in the early universe. The former makes stellar-mass black holes. The latter makes enormous million-stellar mass black holes or larger. That’s 5-6 orders of magnitude difference.

What’s interesting is that we can measure/infer the mass of a black hole from these gravitational waves and we are finding a lot of ~1000x stellar mass black holes. Too big to be stellar collapse, too small to be galaxy centers. Where do these come from?

The number for how many there should be is very close to zero. Presumably you’d only get one from a stellar black hole gobbling up enough mass to get that big, but 10 doublings is too much to have happened except by freak accident, and these are regularly occurring.

The current best theory is that they formed in the early universe before or during galaxy formation by some process that we don’t yet understand.
The two languages I develop in are Javascript and Swift. Couldn't be more different in type safety.

I love everything about Swift except the compile times and occasionally inscrutable compile error messages.

I love the interactivity of Javascript, but despise the lack of types, it's like I'm sketching out the idea for a program instead of directly defining what it is. And the lack of types burns me occasionally.
Hey there. When "grit" is shown as a core value that translates to me as "we expect you to work crazy overtime constantly until you burn out." Happy to be wrong about that if that's not the case.

I see the relation - but it's also how nearly all information is gathered and infered - even at a human level. You take incomplete information, look at the landscape, and try to fill in the blanks.

A friend you're meeting tells you he's in the starbucks with a red shirt. That's not enough information to know his exact coordinates. But you combine and infer - you know how many starbucks there are in the vicinity, and which one he's likely to be at. You know he's in a red shirt - but there's several people. Luckily you already know his height well enough to filter out false positives within milliseconds.

The method I don't find intrinsically scary - but perhaps the scale and depth at which it happens, and for what motives.
You mean like the Rachel Maddow fan who shot Steve Scalise?
In what sense is Kafka (or your use of it) hacky? I have never used Kafka, but I have always thought of it as being more solidly engineered than Redis but also more complicated and perhaps tricky to deploy (based on blog posts I read).
Chiming in with some 2011-2012 perspective for you, which is kinda-but-not-really-all-that-early. IMO you are wildly overblowing the "success" and apparent foreknowledge of early miners (i.e. you're displaying classic results-oriented thinking, because hindsight is 20-20 ofc). Anyways, anecdote != data, blah blah blah, make your own conclusions, blah blah.

I worked at Microsoft, and one of my coworkers started talking about Bitcoin. He was always one of the more cutting-edge, cyberphunk type of people, and he said he got a group of his tech friends to agree to build a "mining farm" in their closet basically, mostly as an expensive hobby of sorts (he was a motorcycle guy, so he had no problem spending money on expensive hobbies).

They spent around $25k-$30k buying GPUs overall; they had great difficulty acquiring their GPUs, as by the time they had decided to start this venture and went to the local Best Buys and Fry's and whatnot, all the good high-end GPUs were sold out already (meaning there was ample competition in the Seattle area already, as they talked to the Best Buy guys who were also puzzled by the sudden increase in demand for high-end GPUs).

Eventually by late 2012, with the increasing competition for mining, the rise of ASICs, high volatility, and no way to foresee the future, last I heard they eventually liquidated everything, sold their hardware and their BTC, and had recouped their costs and made a small profit, but not much more than anyone with $25k-$30k could've made just gambling on some regular stock picks. In other words, they bought in at or around the bubble to ~$30 in mid-2011, and didn't hold out long enough to see the growth to $100-$200 in 2013.

Myself, I dabbled with pool mining using just the single GPU in my own gaming PC for 3 months in the summer. I told my roommates and voluntarily increased my share of the electric bill (which went up by about $80-100/month, iirc). I received ~5 BTC, which at the then exchange rates, meant that I made like $50 or something silly after paying for electricity (but not counting the $2.5K gaming PC, which I bought earlier and without knowing about cryptocurrency).

---

The point of this story is to say that, even fairly sophisticated and "hardcore" hobbyists, i.e. those willing to spend tens of thousands of dollars to dabble in Bitcoin, were by and large not minting millions and millions. Most people sold their coins along the way, either in the rise and falls between $0 to $1, or between $1 to $30, or between $30 to $1000, or between $1000 to $4000+. There was no grand conspiracy, and certainly no way to know that Bitcoin would actually survive (would you call this thriving?) to where it is today. Almost universally, unless you were on the cutting edge of the ASIC race for a long long time, for every old miner out there who spent thousands (millions?) on hardware, they would've been better off simply buying and holding bitcoin the whole time instead.
Getting rich as in- getting flooded with indio mined cheap silver, driving inflation of the currency ever onwards, while mercantilism ruins the competition ability of ones industry?

Sublime Text has this feature on hover, but I am fairly certain it is based on text search of the modules in the python path.
Haha the reality is that the reverse is the problem: Look at the green card backlog for various of these countries.

IOW, most people like me WANT to be a permanent resident/citizen but the system has been keeping us waiting for years (In my case about 7. Without any legislation changes, Looking at another 10-15 before I can be a citizen).

This makes me wonder, if such a high percentage of people are already infected by this parasite why should mothers avoid handling cat litter boxes when pregnant? They're already infected, no?

Is the parasite dormant when it settles itself after infection? i.e. when you've been infected in the past, there is no risk to the baby, but if you're exposed to it again you can infect the baby?
CareEvolution | Software Dev | Ann Arbor, MI | ONSITE, REMOTE, VISA, https://www.careevolution.com/

What we do actually matters.

It's estimated that 250,000 people die in America annually because of medical errors.
