> Namecalling ("SJWs like you") is against the hacker news guidelines

But it's not against common sense to drive focus from what's important to what's personal, right? It bothers you I wrote someone's a social justice warrior? It's not name calling, it's a simple, factually correct observation. A person comes along, reads the content, decides to fight in the name of all men, completely disregarding the contribution that the post is about, deliberately missing out on a clear JOKE. I don't have to draw it for you, right?

> Also, it's worth noting that actual, self-proclaimed SJWs (I know many and am in their communities) wouldn't have any problem with the joke in question

Which implies that you know EVERY "SJW" because you know a few, therefore you're expert in the field? Let's not play this game. It's an insult to both our intellects. Again, I'm not name calling, it's a fact. I'm a person with access to broadband internet, I've seen way too many members like this one - or you for that matter - who are focused on bashing and discrediting and being toxic in general. There's no greater good coming out of this pointless discussion.

> I see them questioning a bit of context around the joke, which is a perfectly valid thing to do.

No, it's not valid. That's the bit you don't get. That's EXACTLY what's wrong.

> Why aren't you? The poster is asking a legitimate question around the context of a line of the book, and you're insulting them and denigrating them for this.

I'm not insulting anyone, but you did take the opportunity to play that person's lawyer. Does my existence offend you by any chance? I'm a human being entitled to an opinion (just like the SJW in question is), I felt like voicing it after witnessing a toxic person online. You seem like another one. Would you, given the opportunity, shut me up because you - obviously - dislike what I've to say about someone with ill intentions?

Again, it's not an insult. It's an observation. Don't turn everything into insults, it's a common way to defend your faulty opinion and justify your own toxicity.

I'm sure you'll have a lot to dissect and post, perhaps to satisfy your own ego or to impress other readers, it's irrelevant - I just wanted to say that I won't read it so if you're a smart individual - you won't bother straightening me out. Have an excellent day, may you focus on learning instead of fighting other people's battles.
It looks like a lot of the lines of diffs are to HTML/XML files related to the certification of the code, rather than executable code. So, definitely not very dense.

Sign me up. I’d happily contribute to that as much as I can, whenever my parents aren’t using the phone line.
Looks like they’re having trouble just keeping the lights on without taking VC money.

Not exactly a sustainable plan if you value using their service, and they’ve already got early investors pushing them to monetize.
Five years from now, 5G will be widely deployed, with a connection density of 1M/sqkm, 1000 times larger than 4G. The TV will connect directly to the 5G network without asking for permission. For your convenience [TM].
That's probably a better explanation than I would have posted.
TFA says this is could make sense for objects over 10kb. They clearly aren’t advocating doing it everywhere in a code base.
I just heard a recent Joe Rogan episode with Dan Aykroyd - this topic was the majority of their discussion for at least 45 mins.
They make a lot more than does the little outfit I work for and we manage it.
I don't think Reddit grosses a hundred billion USD per year. Do you? That would put it very close to Microsoft.
I would love to hear more about this data, as everyone I know who has used it for vulnerability finding has very good things to say. Semmle have also demonstrated its capabilities with some high profile examples.
Do we know this was scheduled maintenance and not some kind of unexpected outage?
Rust is an interesting language where writing good linked collections is really hard. You'd often start learning a language like C or Python with "create a library for handling linked lists". Well, with Rust it turns out you can write a book about it: https://rust-unofficial.github.io/too-many-lists/

I'm not surprised that the author gave up if he started his adventure with trying to write bindings that use tree with parent links. Fortunately many other things are actually simpler than in other languages, so there's a balance.
I get that you have axes to grind, but that all doesn’t actually have anything to do with what I was talking about, which is essentially that nobody thinks “lots of lines of code” is a good thing anymore.

I work in a startup full of twentysomethings. None of them have read “Mythical Man Month” but they all know the bit about how adding engineers to a late project makes it later. It takes time, but these things find their way into the conventional wisdom.

It’s not 1988 anymore. Not everything changes, but some things do.

Or do you think we all still need to be reminded that “goto” is bad and we shouldn’t use it?
Stuff like this is great, you can always point to it when management demands an explanation why the company email server was unavailable for 5 minutes.
In general I think matching your tools to your needs, and coming up with solutions that are as simple as possible (but not simpler) is a super power and hard to get right. Your goal should always be to maximize your leverage by hiding and offloading as much complexity as you can while still meeting your requirements.
I've had projects where literally just opening the project and scrolling through it (moving the cursor) crashed the program reliably within 20 seconds/10-20 scrollings. This made me think their QA is a joke at this point.
Literally parsing carbon-shittons of JSON right now out of spite. It's worth the spot instance cost! Especially since the power usage + carbon created is on the other side of the world from me! Mwahahah!

> Planes are getting blasted by RF in the cellular bands continuously from the ground, too, so this is taken into consideration in the design process.

It's a totally different affair if you are receiving a signal by a 100 Watt transmitter at 10 Km or a signal from a 1 Watt transmitter at 5 meters distance. The 1 Watt transmitter will overpower anything in its band with great ease and any dirt on the spectral output will have the same effect in other bands. Note that most cellphones will crank up their output if they can't connect to a base station that they can receive.

Of course plane designers will still do what they can to reduce this nuisance but leaving our phone on makes it harder than it should be. Please turn your phone off or to airplane mode and consider it a very small price to pay for flying an airplane.

Yes, flight mode does matter, no it probably won't crash a plane but does it have to before you would consider following a very simple rule?
Here's a super-basic test using MySQL CTEs w/1.6M nodes and 30M edges that I did a few years ago - https://intertubes.wordpress.com/2017/11/28/benchmarketing-n...
I've always understood intuitively the existence of .map(), .reduce(), and .flat() in JavaScript, but .flatMap() felt like a weirdly arbitrary combination of two of them. Now it makes sense!
I did mean “can’t”.

Coronado used porcine (pig) hookworm eggs that’s can’t complete a reproductive cycle in humans.
I remember the read-only mode as some presumably cached pre-rendered html, not sure if it ever existed for the app/api. I wonder if the read-only mode didn't mesh well with the single page app they have been pushing - perhaps it wasn't monetized in the same way.
At least in the US they grow fast growing trees that are only good for paper pulp[1] —they’re not good for furniture or construction frames (plywood is okay), for example, so “stopping deforestation” is a red herring.

Also some of them are transporting the paper all across the ocean; it’s not a grievous negative, but it’s not a positive.

No site is that high other than Google or Facebook. Reddit is actually pretty poor in revenue generated and can easily make up for lost inventory with more ads on the page.
Could always be a good think to check, thank you. This thing happen on different hardware for me though, reliably.
Author here. Actually, we were in California when all of this went down. Total coincidence.
IIRC there isn't a problem for most of the flight; but right as you're ascending/descending your phone can end up getting a very weak line-of-sight connection to a whole bunch of cell towers at once, which causes a few different problems, but all of which come down to "it makes both your phone, and all the towers, shout really loudly at one-another to try to achieve a circuit." Which, sure, means that there might be EM interference (on bands ATC doesn't even use, but which the pilots might like to switch to in event of emergency.)

But, more importantly, it puts your phone's radio through an unusual high-power-draw situation that the phone's manufacturer may not have bothered testing for, which can make phone batteries explode that might not have otherwise ever exploded.

Oh, and also, a plane-load of people whose phones are all ranging hogs circuits on a bunch of towers at once (for no productive purpose, since the phones don't have high-enough SNR to actually communicate anything useful with any of the towers they can "see"), so the cellular service providers have politely asked the FAA to get people to not do that.
Unlimited data even when roaming internationally is a game changer. Definitely worth $70/mo for people who travel frequently.
You mean Steemit?
The “Whatsapp box”. The “Instagram Connect”. The “Zukerberg eye”. There are many names better than Facebook.

I reckon it's misdirection. "We'll say it's a UFO, but really it's a hypersonic plane in development."

Just like the SR71 had a cover story during its development phase. "The wreckage was recovered in two days, and persons at the scene were identified and requested to sign secrecy agreements. A cover story for the press described the accident as occurring to a F-105, and it is still listed in this way on official records." - https://www.cia.gov/library/center-for-the-study-of-intellig...
I still regularly see Reddit failures every week.
I wonder if this project, at least VCL compiler part of it, could've benefited from the use of a parser generator. I understand going slow, but using a parser generator would've allowed for faster development of VCL freeing up time to add more features so it isn't so hard to write for.
Was there anyone there with you that also saw?
This would be optimizing network performance ahead of customer product and price transparency, which is unlikely to be as profitable. When asking, "How much does it cost?" the answer "It depends" isn't very satisfactory.
Reddit gold, the new Reddit platinum and bronze, they already show ads, redesign shows ads much more prominently. Literally dozens of ad trackers when you load their site.

Reddit is just as much of a profit driven company as Facebook or Twitter, I’m not sure why you’d think otherwise.
Generally software architecture solves for non-functional requirements, rather than functionality. Product managers organize business-level functionality.

If you were to test the microbiome of a family, you’d find they are very similar. Humans living in close quarters exchange biomes readily (oral - fecal transmission).

I’m certainly not arguing there is no impact of the microbiome on disease, but right now the data is far to early to say anything conclusively.
People laugh when I say this, but one of the main reasons I want to buy my own house is to to install a bidet in all the toilets. As someone who’s been using toilet paper only for about three years, I find it absolutely disgusting.
Heh.

That being said, I've always thought that the right way to implement a distributed social network would be not with blockchain, but with IPFS, or something similar to IPFS. Pinning someone else's IPFS hash would be the equivalent to an upvote for that item.
Most projectors are like this. Mine is a JVC, plugged via HDMI into an AVR that does the input handling. I feed that with a DirecTV Genie, AppleTV, Bluray player etc.
I bought my wife's phone bundled with Fi with interest free installments. However since I had to activate the phone itself using her email id the installments never happened they charged me the amount all together. I called support but they didn't help/ didn't know how to. I have never had to call them since then which helps.

I myself have a republic connection which IMHO opinion is very similar and has a very similar plan getting bandwidth from different carriers to operate. Republic is much better for some reason in terms of coverage and is cheaper as well.

Overall I am appalled by the cost of mobile data and internet in the USA compared to countries like India. Reliance JIO just changed the game in India with the unlimited data and every other provider was forced to up their game. Not seeing anything like that happening here.
> I hear about them every day because I sit next to the HR manager, and hear the horror stories of the blank faces when basic concepts were asked. The phrase ‘how did they even make it through a CS program?’ is common.

That's true but entirely beside the point. Being given the opportunity to learn CS concepts and failing to do so is separate from never having been exposed to the concepts in the first place. They don't even know what they don't know.

> No, our lack of degree doesn’t imply we lack fundamental concepts

It doesn't guarantee that they lack fundamental concepts but I would say better than 95% of the time, they do.
Except UX is everything. 100s of billions in corporate value are based on nothing more than better UX.

Yikes, tough crowd.

Quantum computers are a kind of "because it's hard" problem. Some useful discoveries might come out of it by accident even if quantum computers never become practical.

And, uh, it's not your money, nor is it mine, so why complain? In the grand universe of wasted resources, quantum computers are probably not where I'd begin making cuts.
It's a simple question, nothing else. You're free to interpret it however you want. Why are you focused on how much I maybe "hurt" the other toxic person and not on the fact that we've a creator being bashed by a random person with access to broadband internet about something that's intended for comedic effect?
I wish! If there's a good book out about it, I'd love a recommendation too. I lived it though, writing my first "software" as a youth in the mid-80s. I've seen a lot of change in computing. And not all "get off my lawn" bad, just different.

I see software now as having three different faces: software-as-art, software-as-business, and software-as-engineering. The 80s and 90s had a lot of activity in software-as-art. I was mostly following Mac culture at the time, so I saw this through Bungie, Ambrosia, BareBones, and hundreds of smaller indie developers. The environment at the time enforced the software-as-art discipline, because downloading a program happened over 14.4kbps or slower, or 28.8kbps if your parents had good jobs, and came along with yelling that often sounded like, "get off the phone!" "But I'm downloading!" Installation media was 700K or 1.4MB, and that had to have all your code, art, sound, and other resources.

That's mostly all gone now. Bungie of course got married to Microsoft, which pissed off Mac enthusiasts way more than when Jobs announced a partnership with MS to get Office on the Mac. They've done well. Panic are the only old-school indie commercial desktop software developers I can think of off the top of my head that are still pretty true to their roots.

A lot of software of course just became free. I enjoy so much more high quality software at no cost now, which is really only possible because of the massive benefits of scale that have come from all the tools that have trickled down from software-as-business.

Software-as-business really took off. Apple, Microsoft, Sun, Oracle and others were always kinda big, but not the impossibly large megacorps that they are now. Most of them were still vulnerable to serious mistakes, and that was good, because it meant the users still had some power. Now, mistakes in software development don't really matter to these companies unless they impact 8 figures of quarterly revenue, and that's a process that has zero room for software-as-art.

Software-as-engineering is mostly stillborn, languishing in academia or a few places with rigorous standards (like NASA) or still finding its footing in modern DevOps. I still hold out hope that eventually this aspect will get some love too. I think it will be necessary, eventually, but maybe not until after I've written my last line of code.
Does the idea of having a degree mean anything to you?

If the only thing between degree-you and non-degree-you is "4 easy online classes" would you be doing this for the accomplishment or the piece of paper?

>> Should I just go get the silly degree?

I loved school, valued my time there, feel it's had tremendous value in my life and am really proud of my degree. None of that seems true for you, so why not spend the time, effort and money doing something more important?
> a bit of context around the joke, which is a perfectly valid thing to do.

It is not.

The poster insinuated that there was "casual sexism"

It makes people feel uncomfortable.

It's micro aggression.

I have a right to read the comments section without being forced to read aggressive comments out of context.

This isn't true at all. Sick of all this anti-american sentiment floating around the internet.

No, you are not better or worse, europe or wherever you are from is not better or worse, america is a massive country and you'll receive an equally massive number of responses about this.

I've never been employed anywhere that is "anti holiday" and if I was I'd promptly leave.

Here in Panama, babies are disproportionately born through C-section in privately run hospitals.

Update: While I can't cite any stats for Panama, there is an article [0] that says

"The rates can be even higher in private clinics. For example, in Brazil, 80-90 percent of births in private clinics are now C-sections, compared with about 30-40 percent of births in public hospitals."

It's important to note that "barely space, by consensus" and "able to orbit properly" are significantly different heights.

100km is where there's barely too little air to keep a plane up, and you have to be moving at orbital speeds. But you still need a lot of constant thrust to stay up there.

Even at 200km, your average object will fall out of orbit in a day.

At 300km you're reasonably stable, with about a month of orbit life if you don't boost.

At 400km you find the ISS, where orbit life is somewhere around a year.

There are a lot of milestones between 50km and 600km where you could pick any one and make a reasonable argument that it's the edge of space.
Yes I have. I posted about it in an unrelated article https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18367198

I’d make a correction though. It was not as fast as a super fast bird but more akin to a lightning fast game of laser tag or air hokey. The weirdest thing is that for some reason it immediately impressed on me that this was technology.
I call it "weird results require weird behavior."

Two problems tend to arise from it:

1. Ex ante, people who don't understand it think that just by being weird, they will have exceptional (weirdly good) results. So they are libertine or uncivil and that alone doesn't drive anything useful.

2. Ex post, people who achieved highly attribute the success to the weirdness, and take it as extra license to let the id flow free.

In fact, my belief is that a good bit of weirdness both causes and is the effect of some other qualities that in turn correlate with success: obsessive knowledge of a domain, obsessive levels of effort, single-mindedness, manic level charisma, inordinate confidence (itself charismatic), and willingness to be contrarian / unorthodox.

But man is it annoying when people are just assholes and wave it off blithely as coming with the territory.
Yes, but I think it is the community of reddit moderators that make reddit what it is today...
How much does reddit make, I wouldn't be surprised if it operates at a loss.
I don't buy the index-free hype. Leaving aside the problem of a distributed implementation, imagine you have a node with lots of labeled edges going out, and you're only interested in following some of those edges. You have to find the right ones somehow - full scan of all the edges, or - an index. Or, for a more detailed comment (not mine), see eg https://www.arangodb.com/2016/04/index-free-adjacency-hybrid... .
It’s too bad Google doesn’t take on this project.
Right. Reddit's ad revenue is forecasted at 100M this year, so ~$190/min. I was more referring to Facebook's $65B annual revenue, which is $123,668 / min. That's like an FTE's annual salary each minute, so throwing people at uptime has lots of ROI.
Uncle Bob (writer of the Clean Code book) argues that functions should be small (3-10 lines long, and not longer).
He brings up 2 points as far as I remember.

1 - functions are(should be) well named so anyone later on will have better understanding of the intent of the writer of the code.

2 - bugs have a harder time to hide in 5 lines of code than 30 or 300 lines of function code.

If you did not read it I recommend it or the video series based on the book.

I worked on only one code base where we more or less held ourselfs to this and the class length limit (classes really should not be more than 2-300 lines long) and it turned out pretty well.
Citing UX in a thread about Reddit, the company with an almost universally hated redesign that moved away from a mostly text-based condensed format is... interesting.
