This folds into the general class of calls-to-inaction which they use to pass off systemic problems. "Why are millenials poor and expecting more? Perhaps they were raised wrong by TV. Let's not examine it further."

I personally didn't see shots at Mr Rogers get much further than this weak Fox segment among conservatives, for what it's worth.
“get colonized by a superpower” = “inferior culture doomed to fail”

You’re not wrong in the one dimension that people preserving a culture are by definition “losers” (otherwise it would take no effort to preserve), why don’t we try not punishing kids for speaking their mother tongue and see how that goes for a while?
Doesn't it intuitively seem like the life by definition would evolve out of any particular niche - say 1,000 Kilometers under the surface - to other areas?

I'm at best doubtful about life on Mars because I find it hard to imagine some form of life that occupies a small part of Mars i.e. it's only in the parts we haven't seen. I tend to think if there's any life on Mars it'll find a way to deal with the conditions on all of Mars. By the same token if there's any silicon based life then it'll pop up in places that we can find as well as those we can't. Maybe it does best in places we can't but surely there would be some oddball silicon based creature that would beat the odds.

The macro example would be the extinction of the South American marsupials when the North and South American land masses merged. All the placental animals in North America went south and all the marsupials in South America went extinct. Except for Opossums which for whatever weird reasons not only survived but went into North America.

> Certainly, it's faster to go learn a language than to learn a new domain.

It's not only the language but the framework. For example I know javascript well enough but I now am quite a noob with Ember in my new role.
I would say the framework is just as important as the language, at least when doing web development.
The silicides would meanwhile say that the gaseous nature of CO2 makes carbon useless as a basis for life, and even go so far as to offer a plausible reason.

I am not surprised after seeing how US tech companies created their own rules what public can discuss and undermined democratically elected leaders. They don't want Chinese versions of Jack D, MarkZ, and numerous MSM groups. No country would want social media companies that US now has.

> That said, the languages that boast about their memory safety are written in C/C++ (python, ruby, Java, llvm) and run on operating systems that provide process isolation with memory safety written in C/C++ on top of hypervisors which are also written in C/C++.

Not all of them, and it is more a consequence of building on top of existing tooling instead of doing everything from scratch.

D was originally implemented in C++, nowadays the reference compiler is pure D.

Go was originally implemented in C, nowadays the reference compiler is pure Go.

C# and VB.NET were originally implemented in C++, nowadays the compilers are pure C# and VB.NET, while Microsoft keeps porting the runtime from C++ to C#, with each release.

Java compilers like JikesRVM, MaximeVM and GraalVM are implemented fully in Java.

Just like bringing new parties into power, first accept the existing forces, then rebuilt the system once enough parliament seats have been assured.

The argument I get from the article is that the video game industry will not strengthen the U.S. geopolitically versus China compared to investing into "hard" technology like better semiconductors or more advanced military hardware.
The OP's comment is still absolutely correct if you replace NYC with Berlin or another European city. HN is very biased when it comes to certain subjects and, in all fairness, there is a large contingent of users here who are very willing to downvote comments simply because they disagree with their personal opinions.

Let me add context to why I upvoted the OP's comment. There are large portions of the United States (and I'm currently visiting one) where big-box discount stores simply don't exist. These are the same places where Amazon two day shipping is either not available or unreliable - Amazon doesn't pack everything in their inventory in every warehouse. Smaller discount stores add some variety, and are a benefit to people who would otherwise have to spend more in fuel and lost time to get to the nearest Costco/Walmart/what ever than they would save from lower prices.

This is an issue for a large minority of the United States, and may very well be an issue for a geographic majority (if not a large majority) of the country. I'm sure there are plenty of HN users who live in places like this, but it's also very, very likely that a majority of HN users, such as myself, live in urbanized regions - whether in the US, the EU, or in other developed areas.

While it's certainly expected that these users will have different views and opinions based on their situations and life experiences, echoing the OP's comment, I've noticed that many of them have a concerning lack of empathy for people who come from different backgrounds.
I think the argument is that these are the only options in certain areas, so it's marked up higher than grocery stores.

I think many people on HN have not been in a dollar store, not all sell for a "dollar" like Dollar Tree. Dollar General and such usually have a "larger" markup on basic goods.
Airbnb | Remote (preferably West Coast), Seattle, WA or San Francisco, CA | Staff/Senior Software Engineer | Full-Time | airbnb.com

Airbnb Infrastructure is hiring for several key positions - we're looking for talented engineers across a wide variety of domains to build the platform that supports our mission to create a world where anyone can belong anywhere.

Airbnb is at a pivotal point in its growth and maturity as an engineering organisation. We run some of the largest Kubernetes clusters in the industry, have open sourced some extremely successful data tools (e.g. Superset), and are rapidly adopting newer technologies like Flink and Istio.

We use Terraform, AWS and Chef extensively. My team (Cloud Infra > Compute Infra) mostly uses Golang but it helps to have familiarity with (or a lack of fear of) Java and Ruby, which most of our product teams use.

We recently joined the CNCF end user community, and I recently shared my perspective on the Kubernetes ecosystem as part of a panel discussion [1].

I’m specifically helping hire for our Cloud Infra team, looking for engineers with experience with:

- Kubernetes

- Istio/other service meshes

- Golang

- Disaster recovery

- Large scale infrastructure (think Borg, or Tupperware)

- Load balancing and edge/cloud networking

- CDNs

Note that these positions are for experienced engineers and it helps if you have 5+ years of experience and/or have acted in a similar capacity in prior roles.

Check out all open roles and apply on our site [1]. Note that most of these Cloud roles are not yet listed on our site. If you're interested in learning more, you can also send me a brief note about why you'd be a good fit, a link to the role you're interested in (if one exists online), and a resume to sunil.shah@airbnb.com.

I think it's the last step that's not happening here. DG comes in, outcompetes the less efficient alternatives, and then stays DG for the long-run. IMO, making the consumers in the community better off.
> No one evaluates your interview questions

Are you saying each interviewer just makes up their own questions?! That's ludicrous if so. Where I work, we have a standardized pool, with standardized evaluation criteria.
You are being pedantic developer fixated on numbers as a measure of value across the group. The world does not work this way. The business makes a decision based on what it takes to get what they need and salary can easily vary based on social aspects afterward. The number tells you something, but not everything.
I'm pretty happy with Linux on my desktop - I use it for development, making music (Bitwig - I have a full studio hooked up to it, using an audio interface, a midi interface, a control surface, a variety of midi controllers, and sufficient VSTs, all over out-of-the-box ALSA), CAD (qcad), voip (Jami), and general web related stuff. Wifi hasn't been an issue for me since the days when you used iwconfig from the command line, which was what, 2006? Network Manager is generally good software (otoh I don't love systemd-resolved's ownership of DNS, and have had intermittent issues with that in the past couple years.) I use my wife's mac occasionally to upgrade firmware on my hardware synths, since synth vendors don't tend to support linux.

On one of my laptops, there's been some intermittent nvidia driver issues (leading to screen tearing), but they're only an issue on one of the compositor options in KDE (I don't remember which). I also have it installed on an intel nuc (which is acting as a print server for an old/reliable but unnetworked laserjet), an MS Surface go, a chromebook, and a few older laptops.

In many cases you buy a windows computer with the OS pre-installed. That almost never happens with linux (I will probably buy my next laptop from system 76), so it's always smart to either run a live boot to check on driver/hardware compatibility, or do a little digging up front to find out the state of hardware support for the configuration you're planning to build. You can certainly end up with hardware that isn't supported.
No, it doesn't

Linux has dropped plenty of obsolete hardware over time. Things like AGP, 386 processors and many others
I’m the interviewer, I’m still wondering what happened.

This was the introductory question before launching 200 threads and asking him to solve the deadlocks/inefficiencies, which was
the real question supposed to let him show off his skills in front of my employees, specifically crafted for him because I wanted to persuade my employees he was an excellent hire. So he had a taylored chance to show off his skills but failed at the introductory question.

But on the other hand, how can you be asked “Here’s a substring, return true or false if it contains the substring, this is the introduction of 5 questions so don’t sweat it” and not just write two nested loops and an if? I’d pass on UTF8 problems, but when you’ve been working with Java for CRUD apps, you still should have your UTF8 correct. This is how you end up with passwords that must be ASCII because the programmer is bad.
It is norwegian! My SO lived in Heimdal, Trondheim.
Also, keeping a service running exposes you to liability in the event of a data breach or GDPR violation. As I understand it, even if a tiny service that nobody cares about is found to violate the GDPR, the company can be fined up to 4% of its global revenue, which for Google would be quite a lot of money.
> Single engineers will pick clojure at companies , build a project in it, later that engineer will move on, now nobody can maintain this code so it’s rewritten in some normal language

"Normal language"?

You mean, whatever language is most popular at the company. What's "normal" at one would be completely alien at another. Even things like Java. If you don't have anything in the Java ecosystem, the oddball Java app will be alien and will likely get rewritten into something else.

The reason Clojure remains niche is that some people somehow think it's not a "normal" language, for whatever reason.
I would assume based on your comment that you're already aware of these [0] but if not, consider reading up on "Towers of Silence". It may interest you.

Reading your comment made me wonder why we have even numbers of limbs for different body plans. I realized it's due to bilateral symmetry for most organisms must some how be advantageous to asymmetric body plans, but I'm unsure how symmetry is advantageous. What are the evolutionary pressures selecting against asymmetric body plans?

There was a court decision recently (2 years ago?) that started to open up online gambling in the US.

I follow soccer, and right after that mlssoccer.com started publishing vegas betting odds for all the games, and ESPN FC started using UK betting odds for EPL and EUFA competitions.

They're definitely warming up Americans to the idea of normalizing betting and sports betting in the mainstream.
Sure some countries have some of the same problems, I don’t disagree. However, the magnitude of the problem is 10x worse for China. Remember that China is still extremely poor - 600M lives on $100/month. And another 500M lives on $1000/month. All this is the party’s doing, and the people won’t forget it. So when things goes bad like it is now for China, it will go really bad for its dictator.

Also other countries prob don’t have the problem of “what if the dictator was killed or dies early, and civil war and political struggle ensues”
The real problem is that when the basic infrastructure that maintain the entertainment industry is gone, then the whole thing breaks down in shambles. For example, someday there might be a global shortage of electronics due to geo-political factors, and then you will have no chips to make those fancy consoles and PCs with.
Hazel Analytics | Engineering Manager | Seattle, WA | ONSITE HYBRID NO-VISA | https://hazelanalytics.com

Hazel Analytics provides data and analytics services to food service/retail companies and related industries, working to improve food safety compliance. Half of the 100 largest food retail chains use Hazel technology, and we proudly count Uber Eats, Instacart, Target, and Starbucks among our customers. In 2019, we won two food safety innovation awards, and we still have big ambitions to keep advancing the state of the art in food safety management. We're also honored to have been recognized by Built in Seattle — two years in a row — as one of Seattle's best small businesses to work for.

We're currently seeking an engineering manager to lead a team of 5-6 software engineers, working predominantly on our data collection, data quality, and data sharing initiatives. The role will blend a strong focus on people support and team growth with near-term project support and medium-term roadmap planning. An engineering manager will be exclusive to a single team, so you can build strong working relationships, invest in your team's success, and execute on your vision for operational excellence. Our team culture is laid-back and friendly, balanced by a strong sense of personal ownership and motivation to deliver; we're a small company with close collaboration among all roles.

Compensation is $130K - $150K (DOE), plus equity, year-end bonus, and a generous benefits package (including parental leave). Our current plan is to adopt a hybrid model of "minimum 2 days/week in office" starting in September; although we're currently remote and will be adjusting plans according to public health developments, we're not presently looking for long-term remote hires. We aren't able to provide H1B sponsorship; relocation assistance within the United States is negotiable.

Please apply here: https://jobs.lever.co/hazelanalytics/6d5cc23c-eaad-42e7-9e0d...

Yeah this makes me apprehensive. Every time I see windows system API (particularly userland stuff) I kinda get sick, as the docs seem to be in a bad state and nothing feels consistent.
This is just flat untrue. There's so many usecases where you would have to be a masochist to choose only jQuery or stock JS.

The average user prints exactly one colour page during the lifetime of their colour printer. It is usually the test page.

Really? So I guess I'm one of the few that accidentally prints in color more than once during a printer's lifetime?

Hardware support has been great. I have a linux laptop now for home use and am quite happy with it.

Someone left a hp1200 laser jet on our buildings swap table. I couldn't leave it... schleped it upstairs and plugged it in (popOS). It found the driver and I can print. Is a little slow for graphics, but its quite old (8 mb ram...) I got a USB headset/microphone as a gift. I plugged it into my machine and it works like a charm. Its kind of remarkable.

I feel like there's a missing axis in the static/dynamic debate: the language's information model.

In an OOP language, types are hugely important, because the types let you know the object's ad-hoc API. OOP types are incredibly complicated.

In lisps, and Clojure in particular, your information model is scalars, lists, and maps. These are fully generic structures whose API is the standard Clojure lib. This means that its both far easier to keep the flow of data through your program in your head.

This gives you a 2x2 matrix to sort languages into, static vs dynamic, and OOP vs value based.

* OOP x static works thanks to awesome IDE tooling enabled by static typing

* value x static works due to powerful type systems

* value x dynamic works due to powerful generic APIs

* OOP x dynamic is a dumpster fire of trying to figure out what object you're dealing with at any given time (looking right at you Python and Ruby)
