Ask HN: Best language for cross-platform mobile (non-UI) code? (Go? Haxe? C++?)
I'm experimenting with making a cross-platform library (specifically for iOS and Android) and I'm curious to hear what languages other people who have done it ended up using.

The most obvious first thought is C++. I've only lightly dabbled in it, and the most frequent opinion I hear is that C++ is more "necessary evil" than "a delight to work with". So I started looking at alternatives, having used none of them before.

Go has built-in functionality to make Go code callable from Objective C and Java. But it's still the Go runtime underneath, just proxied out to native.

By comparison, Haxe can output both C++ and Java. Presumably it has some cleverness built into C++ to handle garbage collection, but it sounds like the output is more "pure" than Go would be.

But does that even matter? Haxe definitely feels like a more familiar language to write, but a more obscure language in terms of raw popularity (but it has generics!). Go feels more alien (and I'm concerned that it doesn't seem to let you explicitly handle threads, which has bitten me on iOS before), but everything I'm reading about how it's structured, testing etc. just feels very sensible.

Has anyone used any of these options to make a cross-platform library? Or is there another one I haven't thought of? I'm curious to hear any experiences.
scsh is awesome, although I don't believe it was intended to be used interactively.

eshell[0] is another one. Has a few warts, but is generally pretty cool.

Someday I'd like to write one in Common Lisp. Just haven't gotten a round tuit yet.

As an end-user of software, which do you value more?:

a. A smaller executable that makes efficient use of your machine's resources

b. A developer with less knowledge and experience who is able to write a memory-hogging desktop application

Thank you for not falling into the "Conservatives hate science" trap.

I can't speak for other people, but my personal issue with Musk's ventures are how much money he funnels from the government.
I believe a fixed supply of currency is beneficial when determining price. The ability of an institution to secretly change the amount of a currency used to measure price introduces yet another variable into the valuation equation.

Additionally, when the dollar was fixed on the gold standard, employers needed to be upfront and honest with their employees. When they needed to cut wages, employees knew it was happening. Much of the labor movement and union formation happened because employers needed to be honest about what they were doing.

I've yet to hear a convincing argument that inflation is good for me.

You are correct that the fees may be too high for typical consumer transactions like buying a soda from a vending machine. But for large transactions, and institutions moving money around Bitcoin provides a big advantage.

AdvicePay | CTO | Bozeman, MT | Full-time, ONSITE preferred, but REMOTE is an option. | Golang stack

Check out http://careers.advicepay.com/o/chief-technology-officer-cto for more information. Here is a little more about us:

At AdvicePay, we are helping shape the future of financial planning because we believe there is a more straight-forward way for consumers to get financial advice. AdvicePay is the missing piece of the puzzle to bring real financial planning to Americans. Historically financial planning advice was only available to millionaires, however advisors have shifted focus to helping people build wealth, instead of only those who have wealth. Those advisors have bet with complicated compliance regulations have have hindered the ability for advisors to work with these clients. AdvicePay is the first and only way for financial planners to get paid in a compliant way on a monthly or one-time basis by ACH or credit cards. We’re looking for a Chief Technology Officer to help lead our team.

We are a small team, and we we work independently or together. You’ll have an opportunity for autonomy, but there’s also opportunity to work with other team members, share ideas, and grow together.

Feel free to email me (joe [at] advicepay [dot] com) if you have any questions on the role or apply directly and our CEO will review your application. I am an engineer on the project.

An economist who defected from the Soviet Union, Yuri Maltsev, has been quite vocal about his experiences in the Soviet Union. There are plenty of videos of his presentations: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=yuri+maltsev

But, he doesn't hang around HN.

He saw his well-educated colleagues reduced to stealing paper-clips. When he visited the US, friends asked him mainly for mascara and condoms: https://youtu.be/1KzaJwEaOwU?t=96

In 47:50 of this video (https://youtu.be/s88pMN3qDRQ?t=2870), he states something extraordinary: the Soviet economy was between 6% and 7% of the US economy when he defected to the US. The US and UK intel. agencies had higher estimates of between 45%-90%.

> truism

Maybe, be people in this thread treat Tensorflow's creation as an act of simple altruism.

> And if "anywhere" includes the users' hardware, it's wrong: tensorflow runs flawlessly on any Linux/NVIDIA hardware. Maybe it works better with GCE than AWS, but that would once again fall into that "rather unsurprising" category of factoids.

Sorry, Tensorflow is slow on GPUs compared to other frameworks. This is not just an early blip, its a consistent pattern that has been repeatedly demonstrated. Why is Tensorflow slow on commodity hardware? Why isn't Google with it's infinite resources making Tensorflow run as fast as other frameworks on GPUs? Because it needs to demonstrate an advantage on the Google Cloud with TPUs.

On that cloud, it surrounds Tensorflow with other functionality that makes it easy to build AI, which aren't part of the Tensorflow project. Tensorflow is hard and inefficient to serve for inference, for example.

Machine learning is Google cloud's only hope to salvage Diane Greene's efforts and extend their dominance to a new sector. They're running a distant fourth.

It sounds scary to a lot of companies that don't want to be controlled or destroyed by Google. But by all means, lend them a hand, geek soldier.
Are you alluding to other launch providers such as Russia, European Space Agency, etc, or did you have something else in mind?

Plain vanilla convnets are not very complex. If you look at recent papers on Deep Reinforcement Learning with extra modules or Generative Adversarial Networks from DeepMind and the likes, the complexity is much higher than much of CS used in industry and it is increasing rapidly.

More importantly, the performance of many AI implementations could be improved with the increased sophistication, so the demand for such complexity is there for businesses in competitive sectors.

Any examples of topics in other fields of CS in practical use that are more complex than recent AI advances with potential practical applications?
I read your previous comment as you wanting access to the servers that your code will run on. I'm guessing from the reference to VSCode that you're talking about your local work machine, so I apologise for my mistake and I agree, you should have trust from your company to look after your own work machine as you see fit.
>he's talking more about mitigating the pain of recessions for the average person.

So your claim is that the pain of recessions for the average person have been getting worse over time? Where is that evidence? I don't see it.

Unemployment during the depression was around 25% and people were starving.
If you want to get conspiratorial about it, SpaceX is a huge threat to both the Russian space launch industry and to Boeing/Lockheed.

I've addressed this in a bit more detail in other comments, if you need more you're welcome to look into it.

Calling what Breitbart promotes "conservatism" is very kind. I wouldn't be that generous.
But you normally write code for an hour or many hours. Just opening one or two files for a quick fix sounds more like devops work.
I agree with rafiki16, the candidate "hacked" the interviewing problem - great! The stuff you bone up for a technical interview isn't going to hurt your work performance, it just an adaptive response to a broken interviewing process.
This might be 'process fit'?

Some people have a bigger need to find a good fit on this, but many of the choices are philosophical in nature and having constant battles over why so/don't we do X is not productive. (Having occasional discussions can be productive, especially if there are clear deficiencies in the current flow).

As an interviewer, I appreciate when candidates ask about our process, regardless of if they love or detest what we do, I know they're asking important questions. As a candidate who can afford to be choosy, I would ask this of interviewers, as I know from experience I'm not going to be happy if I am fighting with the process all the time.
