It seems like HN has lost religion on open standards and freedom of user agents. If my MUA (which happens to be Gmail) can receive, interpret, and display a certain type of payload (which happens to be AMP), then good for me. It is nobody else's business what my MUA does with my messages.
If there is never enough time to refactor and new features are always being pushed when does anyone have time to write new tests.

Tdd helps focus and structure some developers but rarely does it save time. In situations where everyone is being pushed too hard for too long saving time is more important. I would bet documentation is also a low priority.
That doesn't make sense. It's a unicode code point, after all, the rendering is immaterial.

There is no way that 73k in Toronto is the same as 153k in San Fran. I wonder if the 73k is in CAD or USD... Regardless, the average home in Toronto is around $1m CAD, plus you lose a bit more to taxes because you live in Canada. I have a hard time believing that things are 3-4X as expensive in San Fran. Are people really paying $60 for a burger?

Like someone else in here pointed out - they 2x'd revenue and 1.5x'd costs - which is actually great to see. If they keep that kind of trend going with revenue growth, they'll have an incredible business on their hands.

Of course, there are hurdles along the way, but if they did that in 2017 with all that turmoil, then I think they'll do fine under Dara's leadership which seems promising so far.

That is very clever, but the article says that this drone "introduce[s] control surfaces into the airstream to change the direction of the airflow and create a thrust vectoring effect." My guess is tiny spoilers around the inside of the duct to cause separation of the flow in one quadrant of the duct, allowing the Coanda effect to draw the stream in the opposite direction.
Most likely they were full, which is why there was surge pricing.
IMHO you can't expect the preferences of particular age groups to stay the same as they age, as their needs change drastically because of their lifestyle.

In particular, a major difference between streaming and edited short-form videos is the density of content, and the preference for that highly depends on the availability of your time. If you have all the free time in the world (or even an actual need to spend it because you're stuck waiting somewhere where you don't want to be), then streaming is excellent; if you're generally busy and overwhelmed with things you want/need to do, streaming sucks, you want an edited, compressed "highlight reel" that gets straight to the point.

So the fact that streaming is the thing for particular group (even if generally trend-setting) doesn't mean that streaming is where the puck is going; they might stick with particular brands/services/tools/ecosystems because of the habits they form now, but they are likely to use less streaming in a decade (and the youngsters replacing them are going to take up streaming) because of changing needs in their life.

Another important thing is understanding what's going on under the hood with C++ features— like, how you'd compile C++ into C. I don't put a ton of weight in it, but I enjoy engaging interview candidates about what's going on with virtual methods, casting classes, specialization with polymorphism vs templates, "public virtual" and multiple inheritance, etc etc. Like I say, no one thing is super interesting on its own, and its not a textbook answer I'm looking for, more just a sign that someone was curious enough to dig in at some point and figure out how the sausage was made.
Sure, but at that point you are content with learning "the x86 virtual machine" -- and is that fundamentally different from being content with learning "the Java virtual machine"?

I'm arguing that it's a matter of degree, not of kind. People make it seem like it's the latter.

Team Lead/Manager here. I frequently have the opposite problem: people who think code coverage (quantity) is as important as or worse more important than test quality. I'd much rather have low percentage high quality coverage than high-percentage low quality coverage.

The article doesn't mention that Taco Bell's kitchen systems are designed to eliminate many weak links in fast food preparation and handling. It doesn't prevent the line worker from sneezing influenza on the burrito, but that's also not how you get e.coli outbreaks.

If CMG is looking to get past their previous history of systemic food safety issues, this was probably a good choice.
Backreferences are one of the items that makes regexes non-linear, which defeats the point of being able to trust arbitrary regexes to have good performance.
First, they can be in different jurisdictions. Second, it depends on what threat model you use; I for one am hiding from my ISP, not the government.
You’re quite right.
Most of the C language texts that I have come across just seem to teach how to use the language, say pointers etc. Maybe there is something about how to use make.

I've found it hard to go from there to link up with the more abstract stuff. Not so with python, because the mental energy I spend reading python code is very little, which enables me to move very fast.

Reading sklearn source has been a revelation to me. I can't imagine having to read a similar high level equivalent in C.
Why? Obviously latency would spike, but bandwidth should be fine.
In theory you could use one or more lasers to ionize the air and potentially make it conductive enough to zap someone. In practice, I expect there would be a serious risk of eye damage for everyone involved and it would probably be unworkable, but who knows?

This really makes no sense. Even if every school had identical curriculum and teachers, students who manage to get into an MIT or Stanford have to have work ethic and prior experience that places them well above the average CS student. The fact that these students have already been vetted by a respected school is one reason why I think companies prioritize them.

I am all for big data analysis disproving common conceptions, but this feels off.

In San Francisco, the story goes that before the ride-sharing days, if you lived in Potrero Hill or in the Richmond, Taxi Drivers would refuse to pick you up even if you called their dispatch center (they would just no-show). So the end result was that people who lived in those districts were not served equally.

Yes it's technically illegal, no there is no one enforcing that.

Uber/Lyft come along and create an incentive structure where the driver can't discriminate even if they want to, and everybody wins.

There are real benefits to what ride-sharing companies have been able to accomplish.

I’d actually assume the opposite—- that like in most life situations, those who “wing it” will generally do worse than those who practice.

Is the choosing frameworks and technologies really a thing that CTOs do? That seems like more of a tech lead/architect job to choose the right tool for the job. I could see the cto pushing back on those choices from time to time if something is being drastically over engineered but declaring what technology is being used seems like a job far below a cto.
Then hopefully I can turn it off in my GSuite administration account...

Refactorings worthy of the name aren't scoped by class. In fact refactoring is one of the strongest arguments against unit tests; refactoring typically changes the split of responsibilities and alters the articulation points in the design, such that old tests are discarded and new kinds of tests need to be written.

Solid integration tests may work, but it's hard to get really good coverage in any reasonable running time from integration tests.

These days I try to cover the happy path with a fairly integrated flavour of test, the edge cases around the tricky bits of code, and fairly exhaustive coverage for authentication / authorization code paths, and not a whole lot more.

If you're reading HN, one alternative is spin up your own VPN on AWS/Gcloud/DigitalOcean/etc. It's not hard, and there are some scripts / ansible playbooks to automate the process.

My experience is that what you're saying is true if it's being done dogmatically. I've been a subject (victim?) of this before.

But strategically applied? I think it's a pretty big win. Specifically, I'm talking about onboarding people (onto the company or a project) and working with interns and juniors. Doesn't even have to be a senior and a junior, two juniors working together is significant. And it isn't just about information flowing from SR -> JR, the benefits are tangible the other way.

I'd say at a minimum, having everyone spend 4 hours a week pair programming should be a goal to try.
FWIW it's already possible to build apps inside email. There are now full ecommerce stores that run inside gmail messages.

I suspect studies like this trail reality by a few years. Austin cost of living, particularly housing, has sky-rocketed in recent years. It's still obviously much cheaper than Silicon Valley, but it's not cheap compared to surrounding major Texas cities like Houston or Dallas.

It may still be a good balance of salary to cost of living, and probably is since most tech hubs are also very expensive. But, it's not like it once was (I first bought a house there in the early 2000s, and have rented, and shopped for real estate, there on a number of occasions since then).

AFAIAC, Google should not exist in its current form. I'd urge employees to question if they think the organization should exist as it is.

This point keeps getting made, but their cut is ~25%. The driver is getting ~75%. For it to be fundamentally unsustainable, it'd have to be impossible to run the entirely administrative / virtual side of the business on 25%, which is difficult to believe.

I suppose they're not violating that, since apps aren't distributing the font file.

What problems does this solve? It ensures you still have a unique IP on the internet which can be traced by governments trivially, while a VPN service which actually doesn't log will keep you safe from simple attacks like that by sharing your IP.

If you assume the service provider is malicious and DOES log, then why is a VPS provider any better than a VPN provider?

We’re actually working on an MVP very similar to what you’re describing. You can check it out here: http://getnextup.com

We’d love to hear what you think about it.
A guess: If random VPN service is doing something malicious to traffic, they won't get caught and nothing would happen if they did. If AWS/DO/gcloud do something malicious, one of the many very technical shops using them will notice, and the fallout would be epic. Now, "arbitrary generic VPS provider", maybe less so, but there are big names that are probably trustworthy in hosting.
This was exactly what occurred to me. I haven't read the spec, but I presume they want to display AMP content pre-click.

As you pointed out, that violates user's expectations about what security vulnerabilities they are initiating when they open an email. Indeed, even lay users may sense that it just feels "wrong" for an email to act dynamically without anything being clicked.

I've heard C language was designed with the idea that the programmer knows what he is doing and
the programming language shall not be standing in his way.

For me the cost of forsaking C would be not to experience 100% programming freedom/power (which comes with 100% responsibility).
And yes, C also gives you the freedom to do any nonsense :)

I was always fascinated how little resources are needed to run C programs,

> I don't think you will go very far in C++ if you don't understand pointers, heap vs. stack, when to allocate and release memory and a lot of other stuff.

This reads to me as if you ascribe those attributes to C, which simply isn't true; C++ has an equal (to C) concept of pointer, allocation/freeing (and, with RAII, I would argue superior).
