Actually that part wasn't too bad once the GC was working as I handle activation records more or less like normal ECMAScript objects.

Yesterday I finished an article (https://mras0.github.io/mjs/doc/gc/initial.html) on how I implemented the GC and some of the challenges, if you're curious.
Thank you for sharing this, I enjoyed it very much. I've always been fascinated by the fact that the culture of architecture is (or at least has been) more aligned with that of art and literary criticism than, for example, engineering. I get the feeling that most here at Hacker News would think that's a bad or ridiculous thing, but I think it's wonderful.
It's a bit higher than that. 150 mg for anti-smoking (as Xyban), 300 mg for severe depression or Bipolar 1 (as Wellbutrin) is not uncommon, but with all the others (esp. the Adderall and the mood stabilizer) and coffee to chase, yeah, that would wake up a mummified corpse.

That shrink should have his license pulled.

(That said, Buproprion is a miracle drug. As far as antidepressants go, it's in class all by itself.)

"While the typical college student in the United States accrues an average of $29,420 in student debt..."

Ok, this is killing me.

That statement comes from https://archinect.com/features/article/112509888/the-state-o..., which says, "While the average student debt for a US American student is $29,400,..." and links to a search, https://ticas.org/search/google/posd%20OR%20homestate%20OR%2.... On the other hand, they're not the only ones: https://www.forbes.com/sites/zackfriedman/2018/06/13/student....

Here's the deal: all of the numbers I can find in the $30,000-$40,000 range are for people with some educational debt. In other words, it excludes those without debt. (Want to bump up your average? Exclude the zeros.)

"Twenty-seven percent of adults report that they borrowed money to pay for expenses related to their own education, .... Among just those who completed at least some education beyond high school, 41 percent acquired at least some debt to finance that education, and half of those who completed at least a bachelor's degree acquired at least some debt in the process." - https://www.federalreserve.gov/econresdata/2016-economic-wel...

Second, this defines "the typical college student" as the average college student with debt, as those are the numbers they're using, as opposed to the median college student college student. The median is consistently lower: "Among respondents who report that they currently owe student loan debt for their own education, the mean level of this debt is $30,156 and the median is $12,000. (The median amount of education debt is consistently lower than the mean due to some individuals with large levels of debt)." - https://www.federalreserve.gov/econresdata/2016-economic-wel...

In fact, the reference this essay uses says, "In the United States, around 40 million people currently hold student debt," linking to https://www.huffingtonpost.com/kyle-mccarthy/10-fun-facts-ab..., which links to http://pages.citebite.com/c2y6l3p2t8uga, "More than 40 million Americans have student loan debt, amounting to roughly $1.2 trillion in outstanding debt." [Thus, the roughly $30,000 average value.]

I just wish to note that (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Educational_attainment_in_the_..., https://www.kff.org/other/state-indicator/distribution-by-ag...) there are roughly 125 million Americans with a bachelors or greater, leading to an "average" student loan debt of $9,600.

Does the Harvard Design Review fact-check their essays? Is the author taking entirely too many psychoactives?

Thanks. I feel better now.
JetBrains | Senior Software Engineer | Munich, Germany | ONSITE | https://www.jetbrains.com/objc/

Are you passionate about developer tools? Are you an excellent engineer looking for a new challenge?
Join us in building the best tools for developers!

We’re currently hiring a Senior Software Engineer for AppCode, our IDE for iOS and macOS development, supporting Swift, Objective-C, as well as C/C++. Tasks at hand include: language support, problematic code highlighting, auto-completion, refactorings, and code-generation as well as debugging, testing, and tools integrations.

On top of challenging tasks, we offer a fully transparent development process: team members can take part in any task, always participate in feature discussions, and version planning. Listening to and openly communicating with users in forums, issue tracker, and during conferences is one of the most important parts of the JetBrains culture and vital for understanding our users’ needs.

AppCode is based on the IntelliJ platform. Most of the code is written in Java, some in Groovy, and an ever growing part in Kotlin; low-level libraries use C/C++ (for instance, LLDB integration). All our code is stored in Git repositories, covered by automated tests, peer-reviewed, and extensively tested by QA.

To apply, and to learn more about what we offer as well as this and other positions, we invite you to visit https://www.jetbrains.com/careers/jobs/?team=AppCode

Please note that we cannot sponsor work permits at this time. We are also currently accepting applications for internship opportunities from students at German universities.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out: florian.kistner+hn@jetbrains.com
I feel that it has become less useful since containerised tabs were introduced. One of the use cases for profiles were using a separate browsing profile.
I'm not sure if this falls under "brain hacks" but here's something for the folks who work remotely.

What helps me a lot is to start working within 15 minutes of waking up (9AM). No reddit, no hackernews, no any other kind of news before noon. This usually results in the majority of the work getting done before early afternoon. After that, I work at a more relaxed pace until 5PM.

> Artificial deadlines

Artificial deadlines has always been my go-to phrase to describe a situation where people try to hold to a deadline that isn't reality-based. Everyone stresses about a fake deadline that won't be hit and won't matter and burns out. The deadline should if at all possible move with actual status and nature of the work.

So your boss giving themselves a fake deadline and deciding things in the last 5 minutes... I will be honest, that story doesn't make them look smart.
As someone who's had to read/review thousands of CVs, interesting != good. Your CV is incredibly difficult to grok, if I have a stack of CVs to get through and I can't immediately identify the information I need, I'm probably going to pass

no, open sourced software has copyright, but with a license that fits the open source definition and allows extra rights(be it BSD, MIT, GPL, etc...)

The only software with no copyright is that placed in the public domain, which is usually discouraged as not all countries allow the author voluntarily assigning something to the public domain, as such it's encouraged to selected an extremely permissive license, like the ISC license for example.
If Silly Valley was run like Hollywood, you'd have Version Control Engineers as a class and no one with their Version Control's Guild cards would have any say in that field.

(With how Hollywood is run, you might as well have While Loop Engineers.)

Be careful of bias. Users often aren't the best judge of their own experience - for example when Facebook launched Newsfeed in 2006, people said they hated it, but the data showed differently. Obviously, the feature actually worked. Particularly if your users are people who know you, they may be trying to make you feel good or to look good in your eyes, rather than giving an objective report about your product. If possible try and branch out and get feedback from people outside of your circle. Of course, feedback from folks you know is valuable too, you just need to be aware of the possibility of bias.

Yeah, I've had my share of interesting bugs (see the article I linked in another post).

All pointers are tracked automatically (except for specially optimized classes), so that part isn't so bad, but it's still (too) easy to accidentally use a stale pointer value.

At the moment I can safely collect after every statement, but there is still work to be done before I can claim to support collecting after every expression (like I'd ideally be able to - so I can collect when I run out of heap).
I've set tests more or less like this in the past and I took one just the other day.

It's actually kind of interesting doing this from the hiring side because it became evident that there are a lot of relative "bargains" out there - excellent developers who do poorly in whiteboarding and chatty interviews so have lowered salary expectations but who are nonetheless very good at their actual job.
Unlikely given the high altitude of the cave.
The discovery algorithm serves the consumer first and foremost. When users start complaining about not being shown interesting stuff, then Valve will jump into action.

In this case, how do we know that the algorithm change isn't correcting a problem? I'm sorry for the game developer in the article, but every time his game was being promoted, somebody else's wasn't. How do we know he wasn't being over-promoted with the old algorithm? Without seeing everything that Valve sees, can we really know?
