I look at it this way: before Tesla the electric car was a joke. Now the car industry is slowly rolling out electric cars. If today, Tesla crashes and burns we are still, overall, better than we were if they never existed.

I would also argue that building a car is hard, and starting from scratch is insanely hard and was done before maybe a couple of times, 100 years ago. I may be wrong.

So to sum up: I am not surprised by Tesla’s behavior and think that the way they are framing their story may contribute to the success they had / will have.

I've got to say, I think this is parallel to the issue that faaaaaaar too many people are getting bachelor's degrees. Generic sales jobs require them at this point, which is nuts. One should absolutely be able to get a sales job with a 6-digit income potential with mere experience in lower-powered positions, but for some reason we're forcing these people to study humanities for four years before we let them sell a CRM tool.

Shit, there's no reason most low-level programming positions need a CS bachelors. We really, really need good associates degrees that teach functional coding (logic structures, two common languages, git, agile). There is no reason to expect someone to be in school for four years to be able to code.

Grades must be inflated to accommodate the horde passing through universities. The masters degree is the new bachelors degree.
I feel like C++11 and Rust have shown a way forward and the C standard should focus on a design that takes into account ownership and protected arrays in a simple way, hopefully as backwards compatible as possible.

Maybe the solution is for the major compilers to default to strong static analysis.

Even though there are safe languages, the enormous integration and compatibility of C means that it isn't going anywhere soon, so I think even imperfect solutions can offer a lot if they are low hanging fruit.
We are talking about end user packaging.

Lib packaging is a solved problem. For installing, people are just using pipenv. For creating, it's just an 2 lines setup.py file and a ini file to fill in now (http://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/setuptools.html#c...)

"That is said a lot, but what are actual desicions that are made to conform to the C model?"

Among other things, special instructions to support a function call stack, which is very much specific to the C model. In Lisp the call stack is unnecessary because of the use of continuation passing style, which implies that all function calls are tail calls and mostly requires that everything be heap-allocated (many compilers will use a call stack as an optimization to avoid excessive garbage collections; unlike C, it is not a fundamental part of the lower level semantics). If you wanted to design a CPU for Lisp or functional languages, you would probably choose to provide special instructions to support continuation passing style or normal order evaluation.

You could also imagine a CPU that does not support general pointer arithmetic or which has some form of built-in array bounds checks, which would all be fine if supporting C were not a requirement.
He's adding "1" to the pointer that points to the variable
"b" which in this case is allocated immediately below "a" in the stack. Thus adding one will make the two pointers equal.

consumers don't always have the ability or the option to discriminate based on employee pay. And the lower you are the less you can discriminate which creates a vicious cycle because you are almost certainly in the same boat as the employees at $low_wage_employer.

Highlights:

1. So much faster. I'm getting super consistent 30ms response times on a heavily trafficked web app. AND I did this while completely ripping out a complicated layered caching system that I was using in last iteration of the app. It's just web app talking directly to postgres database, which sounded crazy to me, but actually works.

2. Socket/Channel goodness baked in. I built a real-time chat experience in about a day with Phoenix channels/presence. Makes it quite easy.

3. Less moving parts. Language level support for async tasks and in memory caching lets you do A LOT without installing/managing redis, queues, and other tools. For fancier use cases you still might want to go there, but for a lot of common tasks (send email after user registers for instance) you can go a long way with just Elixir. And you can keep related code together more easily because of this.

4. Easier testing and maintenance. Functional language by nature tends to lead to more modular, maintainable and testable code. Hard to appreciate this until you build a large-ish project with it, but I've found this to be very true.
I bet there are some steps within the tent that have better yields or better QC than inside the factory (others are undoubdtedly worse). How do those effectively get transferred over? Thats technical debt.

Ask HN: Just finished my dissertation, what language should I learn for fun?
After working so much on my PhD dissertation, I finally want to take a break and code some things for fun. I want to start by learning a new language (I have been using C#, Python, and JavaScript). I'm not looking for a job, just a fun and capable language for side projects.

Nim and Crystal have been getting a lot of praise on HN, but I am also considering Go, Rust, and Elixir. While there is no perfect answer, I am open to suggestions.

Kudos to Tesla. I've been a somewhat vocal skeptic on a lot of things Tesla-related, and this is still two quarters later than initially promised, but I'm still impressed.

It's been hard to tell from the outside whether "late" just meant "we underestimated this, so we're late", or if it meant "we underestimated this so badly we'll never get there." Even when I started to believe it would just be a matter of time, I was concerned that there wouldn't be enough capital to get here. But flamethrowers or whatever got us here, and I'm impressed.
> A pointer is just an integer and I can manipulate it like an integer.

Except it's not. Not unless you cast it to uintptr_t. Doy. :) Understanding the underlying asm can give you context for what a pointer is, but you can't assume that a pointer is an integer, any more than you can assume 'int' is a machine word in length.

There are reasons why C seems so abstruse and abstract. It has to exist on a huge variety of architectures and environments, from supercomputers to tiny embedded microcontrollers. Fun fact: The Lisp Machine had a C compiler! In Lisp Machine C, pointers were fat: they consisted of a machine pointer to an allocated chunk of memory and an offset within that chunk. And of course it was invalid to have a pointer outside an allocated object; the machine would throw an exception if you even tried. Hence why C pointers are only well-defined over valid references to objects and arrays, one past the end of an array, and NULL. And lest you say, "well no modern cpu works like that anymore", there are programs out there written for the Burroughs architecture that are still running. Are you going to cut off the maintainers of those programs because the architecture they're coding for doesn't resemble an x86?

This is part of why I disdain the call for modernity in programming. "Modern" means "limited". "Modern" means "I have no intention of testing this on anything but my laptop, so I will make assumptions that suit my use case and fuck you if yours differs".

C is a pain in the ass, but it becomes more approachable if you take into account its history. And it still fits in your head more easily than Rust.
rich != income-rich
Wait, then what is the debt measured in?

I get the difference between "money" and value, but if you magic money into existence, you've caused inflation of your currency, increasing the amount of currency it would take to add up to the pre-magic "value" of your national debt number as measured in dollars. Therefore increasing it by definition.

Just saying it's meaningless sounds a bit disingenuous unless I'm missing something.

I smell a rat.
When I was in high school in the late 80's, our school would give an award at the end of each school year to the student with the highest grade in each subject. My geometry class ended up with 8 people who had a 100 average. Rather than break tradition and give out multiple awards they opted to give each of us a harder test to determine the winner.

At my daughter's high school award ceremony they just gave the awards to everyone. Times change I guess.

Next-gen group chat: The power of tags
Ask HN: Has any small dev team successfully deployed a complex app with docker?
I've been pondering the implications of using Docker / Kubernetes to deploy a fairly complex application to production. We are a small team of a few developers, and although I personally deal with deployment using scripts, I'm by no means a devops expert or sysadmin.

Whenever I look into Kubernetes and everything that goes with it (maintenance, monitoring, logging, etc), I feel like it requires a full-time devops engineer to create and manage all of it. Our team will soon undergo a major rewrite of our application and the decision should be made to use Docker or continue using deployment scripts with ansible.

Have any devs here successfully learned docker and kubernetes, deployed it in production, and not regretted the decision later? What benefits did you obtain? Any tips about it for a dev?
Because when you're shorting a company you want that people lose their jobs and innovation doesn't happen and the company goes down. Just so that you can make money out of thin air.

People that go long still make money out of thin air, but at least their incentives are aligned with innovation and economic growth.
