People have died trying to pick psychedelic mushrooms in the wild and getting it wrong. Then again, that danger exists with regular food mushrooms in the wild as well. You just really need to know what you're doing.

From a dealer, you're very unlikely to get toadstools, for the reasons you described, but non-psychedelic mushrooms (even from the grocery store) are frequently dosed with cheap and often legal, but dangerous "research chemicals" and sold as psilocybin mushrooms. This was done with LSD back when it was cheap and readily available as well.

I'd say this is more like government taking a local optimum from one time period, and casting it in stone. You can see the same thing happen with in the nuclear power industry, with light water reactors being given a regulatory blessing that made sense at one point.

Those were my precise thoughts. This is exactly the kind of problem that is easy to avoid in a distributed VCS and hard to avoid in a centralized VCS.
No, there is something fundamentally wrong with fanboism. Imagine a company very similar to Apple that suddenly came into existence; call it "Orange". Suppose Orange had products nearly identical to Apple in quality/UX except for a few innovations here and there. Would an Apple fanboi embrace Orange as a potential new vendor or defend their current pet corporation?

I understand people liking a product/process because it is efficient and profitable or even aesthetic. But fanboism in all its forms creates a stagnant mind with blind loyalty that dismisses superior products.

BTW, this also extends to musicians, actors, sports teams. Sports teams are way too transient even define as an entity. Players become free agents or retire, coaches get fired. I do wonder if any Houston Oiler fans cheer for the Tennesee Titans.

Talkdesk is hiring: http://talkdeskapp.com

Back-end developer and front-end developer.

We are not picky but we work mostly with Node.js, Rails, Backbone.js and MongoDB.
Actually though, there was a 0% chance of this happening to anyone who uses git properly and commits before merging, and a 100% chance of it happening to this guy.
So I’m more optimistic; the basic conflict human vs. vacuum may yet be won as private companies rightly take interest in the final frontier-c.f. SpaceX and their amazing ambitions. Also, if the powers that be are listening: sign me up for the first trip to Mars.

I agree that the author should've been committing far more regularly than he apparently does. In addition, "git pull" is a bad idea (you never know what nastiness someone else might have committed — "git fetch" + "git merge" is a far saner way to stay up-to-date).

That said, hats off to the author for tracking down the problem. Regardless of workflow flaws, the behavior he observed is a bug, and I'm glad it's fixed.

How To Maintain Your Broadband Dongle and Make It Last
Define your problem, and then make your decision.

For this particular example, you can apply this sequence of logic (with thanks to wccrawford):

if(Baggage) use a car.
else if(In a hurry?) use a car.
else if(Need to be rested?) use a car.
else if(Need to go 150 miles^ or more?) use a car.
else use a bike.

For the life of me, I could not figure out why he would not save his changes before pulling stuff down on top of them. Some people still go days without saving, which is foolish in my opinion. Change a function (or similar unit), and save. Rule for dummies: save before leaving for the day (but that's not granular enough).

San Francisco, CA (25 Kearny St) - MindTribe Product Engineering, Inc.

Hi, I’m MindTribe’s director of Software Engineering. I’m searching for people who enjoy learning and making. We’re a small company, and I’m looking for people with whom I would personally like to work and who want to work with me. We're moving from Palo Alto to SF on Nov 1st. And now, besides experienced SENIOR embedded programmers, I am looking for INTERNs and JUNIOR engineers as well. If you enjoyed your microcontroller classes in school, come join us in SF for continuing education.

Here are the tools I use regularly: The C programming language (specifically ISO/IEC 9899:1990); Eclipse, Make, Subversion, Git, Python; Linux, Embedded Linux, Android, iOS; ARM processors (TI OMAP, TI Stellaris, NXP LPC); Atmel AVR/AVR32, Microchip PIC, TI MSP430, Cypress PSoC

Here is what I enjoy doing at work: Writing embedded software that runs on cool hardware; Figuring out how to apply agile techniques such as test-driven development to embedded product development; Reducing regressions and supporting customer development with agile techniques; Developing embedded libraries for things like USB, TCP/IP, graphics displays, sprites, fonts, encryption, etc.; Having long, dorky conversations with coworkers about programming languages, physics, estimating Facebook’s relative revenue distribution between advertising and games, etc.

Here is what I enjoy doing outside of work: Hiking, walking around San Francisco; Pseudonymous humor blogging; Cooking and baking; Photography; Reading. Recently: "Test Driven Development for Embedded C", "The Clean Coder", "The Four Steps to the Epiphany", "The Art of Racing in the Rain", "Norwegian Wood", "The Mind's Eye", and "Cutting for Stone".

You can see examples of how I’ve applied my tools and passion here: http://mindtribe.com/portfolio/

You don’t have to use the same tools and you don’t have to enjoy the same things. But if you’re excited about similar stuff, drop me a line at hn@mindtribe.com to let me know.

We're also hiring ELECTRICAL and MECHANICAL engineers!

Once a bureaucracy is created, its 1st act is to perpetuate itself. It has no allowance for self-destruction someday.

Certainly we can all see the results of this sort of behavior, which is a real thing.

You can't extract, from that observation, the general principle you propose, though. The boards, bureaus, and commissions that have allowed themselves to fade away are gone, of course. The ones that act to perpetuate themselves persist. When you observe the behavior of the organizations around you, you're not looking at a fair sample of the organizations that have existed.

And exactly the same is true of private clubs, charities, corporations and companies of every sort. This isn't a characteristic of governmental organizations, it's a property of organizations, period.
For comparison purposes: The best code I have ever read was written with Sam ( http://sam.cat-v.org ) by Ken Thompson, the second best code I have ever read was written in ed(1) (by Ken and Dennis Ritchie), and the third was probably code written by the rest of the Plan 9 team at Bell Labs written using mostly acme ( http://acme.cat-v.org ).

P.S.: Both sam and acme were written by Rob pike (ken wrote ed), in Plan 9 circles some people would call acme 'an ide', and while I use acme, I would consider sam a better text editor in part because it is precisely just: a text editor and nothing else.

Inside Google Search by Image
Oakland, CA - Root Labs

We are a fully-funded startup with a major paying customer, building a web-based service for analyzing and searching code. You will be in charge of building a large, distributed computing system for parsing and indexing code for our search engine. We've been creating the code analysis tools for existing customers, and we need you to build the automation framework to help us scale. We are building something really uncommon for a HN hiring thread, so contact me even if you're just curious!

We're solving problems that will have a major impact on the software industry. For example, one goal is that independent, open-source authors have a way to get paid for their work.

You'll team up with us to implement solutions to some challenging problems. (But don't worry, you don't already need to be an expert at all of these).

* Nearest-neighbor search in high dimension (or knowing how to
avoid this by projecting to a lower dimension)
* Classifying code by various metrics (structural flowgraph analysis,
symbol sequences and frequency, etc.)
* Map/reduce deconstruction of complex queries
* Distributed computing design, cluster management, software deployment,
load balancing

Being a good programmer is the most important part. We mostly work in Python and C/C++ although considering Scala or other options for some tasks. We use PostgreSQL, Redis, and Riak for a lot of the existing components.

You need to understand distributed computing, fault detection and error recovery, messaging, etc. An interest (but not expertise) in low-level details like compilers, operating systems, and reverse-engineering is a good plus.

We have much more details here:

It is easy to get fast scrolling pseudo-UITableViews using UIWebViews, as long as 1) the tables aren't /that/ long, 2) you change the grid size to something larger than default (to avoid checker-boarding), and 3) you decrease the deceleration constant to match those of normal tables. (Note: I know this from experience with a very widely deployed application: Cydia.)
Yeah, so you want a girlfriend, here is my sloppy second.

Getting to the "frontend developer"...They need to also know Java (nay, OWN Java), JavaScript (like a million closures cried out in terror), Scala, Groovy, PLUS, they can learn fast and you want them language agnostic (going to Ruby? No problem!).

Then of course there's the "passions" (HTML5, CSS3, jQuery, continuous deploys, high performance, and, of course "breaking the rules" because they're such a bad ass rebel. At least you didn't include ninja or rock star.

As a front-end developer myself, this seems a very odd mix of a front-end and back-end developer. How goes your search for someone like this?

How do I get smartphones to automatically react to software/data from other phones that triggers an automatic call to that phone? e.g., I am in a loud-ass bar and suddenly my phone goes off. I have a short, 2-sentence profile: "1)Girl 2)"To Carthage I have come." So a girl, who also has Augustine's famous line in the app's profile [her info might be: 1)Boy 2)"To Carthage..."] has her phone set to automatically call the phone with a matching profile.

Really REMOTE. You don't even have to be in the USA.

deviantART (http://www.deviantart.com) wants developers. We're fully remote[1]; there's no central office with a devteam located there. We expect all hires to be comfortable working in PHP, JavaScript, CSS, and SQL; we like our developers to be able to hack on any part of the site, rather than being frontend/backend specialists.

One exception to all that: there's an Infrastructure Engineer position which is located in Vancouver. It's C++/Java focused, and involves developing backend services used by the rest of the site.

We post information about our development process here sometimes: http://dt.deviantart.com/blog/ Apply here: http://deviantart.theresumator.com/apply?source=hn
