I'm sure it is an extension. The thing is, I can't easily figure out which one. Since it takes a couple of hours for the problem to occur, it's too much of a big deal to try a binary search of all extensions to figure it out.

The difference is that, for the duration of the callback, you know the state will only change in ways directly related to the functions you are calling.

That is true for a single threaded reactor, but in practice I haven't found it to be an especially useful property because naturally that doesn't include external state (i.e. the database).

Getting atomicity right in evented-code has in fact often been a hairier issue for me than doing the same with co-routines or threads, because when you're not allowed to block ever then you quickly find yourself in a situation where you need a retry-mechanism.

Such codebases then tend to quickly converge towards the actor-pattern (tied together by queues) which, ironically, could be had much easier by starting out with co-routines in first place.
Making Easy Application Installations to your Website – Review of Softaculous
If I feel like my life has changed for the better, I don't have to validate it with other people. It's my life, not theirs.
- Credit markets seized up because no one could tell who
was insolvent.

- Massive outflow of foreign capital from the US as
investors realized what a mess the US financial system
must be in.

I'm in favor of letting a bank like Lehman Bros collapse despite that. The most important thing for day-to-day economic health is to make sure no one loses retail deposits, and Lehman Bros wasn't even in that business. But what should have followed is much more intrusive regulation and oversight of the financial industry to determine exactly who is insolvent and arrange an orderly writedown of people's bad financial positions. Unfortunately, the disproportionate political power of the financial industry made such a policy impossible to implement. (See the recent book Confidence Men.)

It's always helpful when clients give unambiguous signs of unreasonable insanity upfront instead of hiding it until you're halfway through the project. It makes running away as far and fast as humanly possible so much easier.
Fair and appropriate. I'm clearly not Google, but I am looking to hire people who value my company the way you seem to value Google. If that isn't you, I think we'll both agree that it's best that you don't complete the code eval.

You might be the best programmer in the world, but I'd rather hire a 'really good' programmer that gives a damn about what we do than a 'super awesome amazing rockstar' programmer that doesn't.

That said, since somebody called and asked... No, I am not hiring.

I directly disagree that a complex system will be replaced by creating a new complex system to replace it. I do not think that will happen, because I don't think the world works that way. What happens is something slightly simpler is created to solve a simpler problem, and gradually accretes more and more functionality until it gradually replaces something, in a kind of process of innovator's dilemma; or alternatively (and IMO more likely), one or two pieces in the complex whole are individually replaced by (perhaps) one thing which is simpler. But there's never a moment of high drama where we suddenly realize what a pile of crap we have and switch forthwith.

Just about everybody knows that all our software is imperfect crap on top of imperfect crap, from top to bottom. Everybody, when met with a new codebase above a certain size, thinks they could do better if they started over and did it "properly this time". Everybody can look at a simple thing like a submit form in a web browser, and sigh at the inefficiencies in the whole stack of getting what they type at the keyboard onto the wire in TCP frames, the massive amount of work and edifices of enormous complexity putting together the tooling and build systems and source control and global coordination of teams and the whole lot of it, soup to nuts, into a working system to do the most trivial of work.

But this is not a new or interesting realization by any means. It's not hard to point almost anywhere in the system and think up better ways of doing it. Pointing it out without some prescription for fixing it is idle; and suggesting that it will be fixed by wholesale replacement by another complex system is, IMO, fantasy.

Another option not mentioned in the thread is to accept it, and pay any of the fines associated with not meeting it.

It does mean that the organization needs to set the right fines to make that unfeasible.

Show HN: openSNP, towards open genotypings
Hello everyone!

This is a project some friends and me have been working on for quite a while, would be awesome if you'd have a look / critique / use!

Basically, openSNP is for customers of companies like 23andme and deCODEme who want to know more about their genotyping, and for scientists who work on human SNP-research. Users can upload their genotyping, and each SNP is then parsed against three sources: the citation management software Mendely, the Open Access publishing group PLoS and the wiki-project SNPedia. Scientists can search for certain phenotypes (e.g. blue eye color) and download the linked genotypes.

We put up a longer blog-post explaining it here: http://opensnp.wordpress.com/2011/09/26/welcome-to-opensnp/

Please have a look at http://www.opensnp.org - what do you guys think?

Apple does, but for devices that are clearly different. There is clear differentiation between the iOS app store and the OSX app store. There is also clear differentiation between the iPhone and iPad sections on the app store. The three forms are physically different enough to draw a cognitive line in the sand. I doubt many people who own an iPhone think it's an iPad or own an iPad and think its a Mac.

If Amazon ultimately uses WebOS to get into the phone market, I could see them easily managing two different app stores easily. If they create one set of Android tablets and one set of WebOS tablets, it's going to be a bit trickier. All of this is really going to depend on how apps fair on the new Amazon tablet.

I haven't read Dealing with Darwin, but I thought Crossing the Chasm and Inside the Tornado were just as insightful and useful as Clayton Christensen's Innovator's Dilemma.

They're also complementary to that, because Innovator's Dilemma is more about the strategy of building a product the right way to transform the market, while his books are about managing the market growth once you build the product.

Record-Breaking BitTorrent Lawsuit Decimated
The sunspider tests are also fairly dubious as a performance indicator because of their very short execution time, the Chrome team posted a modification which ran it 50 times to get a better idea of steady-state performance (http://blog.chromium.org/2011/05/updating-javascript-benchma...). Sunspider does act as a fairly good indicator of any latency overhead the JIT adds, though.

In terms of real-world scripting, almost any script I've benchmarked has always been ~1.5-2 times faster in Chrome than firefox (versions 4 through 6), except when bound by API calls (last I checked Firefox was on-par or better when dealing with TypedArrays). It looks like TypeInference might be a really big win though.
That's a bit of a "true Scotsman".

And misses the relevance of the app store for Amazon, who sell slates to sell book content.

It also ignores the most common approach to app stores.

The OS determines which app store one can visit.

I.e. even my mom can't download Macapps to her iPhone.

[Edit]Your argument also assumes that Amazon will not differentiate the tablets which seems contrary to their differentiation between the Fire and Kindle (e.g. touch screen operation means different sorts of apps).
One Last Thought on Tech Startups and Failure
I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic, but I would say it is certainly true that most people don't read good books. Most people don't read books, in general. Of those who do, most read for entertainment (like me), rather than seeking out great books to have read.
as far as unix is concerned, i would say a huge part of the complexity of those systems comes from insisting that dependencies be installed, and shared, system-wide. This approach comes from a time when disk space was very expensive. Hence the need for those super-complex make/configure/install/apt stacks, LIBRARY_PATH, etc.

IMO you could simplify things a lot with a distro that only shared, say, the kernel/module/libc layer, plus a package management system. Beyond that, each packages would manage its dependencies, and install them under its own root directory - so you have only the package maintainer to blame if something is missing. This would give an application much more control in how to configure itself. It would also have the added benefit of super simple uninstall - just delete the app's directory, just like on osx.
I think you are confusing SPDY[1] with WebSockets[2]. SPDY is Google's experimental replacement for HTTP. You don't build your app around it at all - from the application layer it should be mostly invisible.

SPDY can be implemented as an Apache module[3] which could be used only when the browser supports it.

It is true that WebSockets replace long polling, but there are plenty of libraries that abstract the differences out nicely.

I've definitely seen hosting services do this. Sure, there's a 100% SLA, but if you actually read it, it says you get back the pro-rated monthly fee for the time it was down. So, in other words, you don't have to pay for it when it isn't working. Not much of an SLA.

Are you seriously challenging this? Java was the number 1 language for years with all kinds of big businesses throwing people at it. Java easily has more libraries than any other language. No matter how obscure the subject, I've never had trouble had trouble finding a Java library for it (usually several).

No, I'm not aware of a central CPAN-like repo for Java, so what?
Public transport does this too: in order to provide a robust, perfect implementation of a schedule, you need extra busses/trains/street cars (expensive capital goods) and extra manhours (generally most expensive part of the operation). Rather than invest too much money in making sure the schedule can be met, it's cheaper to pay fines when there are delays.
It's only fair that we, developers, start suffering a little from the poor state of system software usability after inflicting so much pain on our users.
There's a rather large gap between what the accessibility standards say you should do and the way actual screen readers work.
Not than Java, no way.

It would be great as a starting point to be able to charge in currency other than USD, I suppose that should be easier to set-up than accepting non-US based merchants. There are a lot of non-US people like me that have a SSN and US bank account from past US experiences that can already use Stripe in their home countries. But marketing a product in Italy with a price in USD won't cut it!

Of course, and I wasn't attempting to be antagonistic. I was merely pointing out that when you say you feel it "changed me for the better" in your original post, that could be for one of two reasons. I was simply curious as to whether you could determine whicgh reason(s) applied in your case.

Some interesting details left out in this article: Commodore bought MOS already in 1976 and shortly after fused it with CSG (Commodore Semiconductor Group), but kept the MOS label alive and let the logo remain on current and subsequent IC designs for several years later. A not insignificant portion of Commodore's revenues came from selling licenses for the 6502 family. The only 6502 core in use today, the 65C02, along with derivatives such as the 65C816, are owned by WDC, which was founded by Bill Mensch a few years after Commodore's purchase of MOS.

This is what happens when developers want to do sysadmin. Come on guys, we, sysadmin, spent as much time learning our job as your learned coding. If we would be trying to code, we would be lost and pissed off. That's why we don't do it.

The OS is not wrong, what is wrong is you imagining that every system should be as simple as "right click / start". If you want that, take the Heroku/<you PaaS here> route and you'll be happy. But the day you have 5000 customers connecting at the same second and your environment collapses because you don't have the flexibility to tune it, don't come crying.
He's saying we've become the proverbial frog in the boiling water. The inability to abstract well has made any medium-to-large software project a Rube Goldberg contraption.

Seems reasonable, actually. "100%" is obviously not going to be achievable, but "external users should be ok if our office network fails" is not necessarily a bad requirement. There are lots of things that may make this client happy: a VPN to an "internal" server in an external data center, synchronous replication, etc.
I suspect that's not windows fault this time, but maybe your USB key's IO driver. OK, so maybe it's windows's drivers fault ;)

To sum up, flash disks can only access data by big chunk of say 32KB. So if you have 32 files of 1KB each, the (dumb and not optimized) flash disk driver will overwrite 32 times the 32kb block where the 32 files will be stored. In this example, 1024KB (32 x 32KB) of data is written instead of just 32KB. So it slows you down 32 times in this case.

As you can see, the bigger the block and the smaller the files, the slower the transfer.
The complexity of your work (as I assume a web developer) is substantially reduced to only HTML, CSS (and its various implementations on various browsers), Javascript, the modeling language you use, the framework you use, the database, SQL, ...

sure - email in profile. most appts here are unfurnished, i think (makes sense for local long-term use) which probably explains why homechile (which i didn't know about, thanks) exists. providencia is a nice place to live (i live there and i imagine it's similar standards to what people from the usa would be used to), but it's certainly not the lowest price area.

ps wasn't going to post this as a separate answer because it's 10 years old and i had a local job offer, but i found getting permanent residence to be very easy (i had arrived on a tourist visa, which can be renewed for up to 6 months). i can't remember if having the job offer was critical (i think it was the other way round - i needed the residency because employment would have been illegal on a tourist visa), but what surprised me was the need to show evidence of education level, so bring some kind of certificate!
