All else being equal (i.e. assuming equal functionality and performance), customers would prefer code that's written in "beginner" programming languages. Customers don't always know many things about code, but every single one of them knows how to count money, and they fantasize about replacing their maintenance staff with a bunch of beginners. Hiring competent beginners is difficult enough.

An important aspect of this problem: Even if the overall system is too complicated for beginners to understand, beginners may be able to usefully tinker with the system if it is built out of parts that they understand. The problem with PHP-based systems is that their most complicated parts may need to be built out of PHP, but the bonus is that all their simple parts are also built out of PHP, and often the bulk of the maintenance boils down to tinkering with the simple parts.

I've kinda wanted to do a 360" of my home office, but I think I mostly just do Starcraft there.
For the record he did live to 88, which is a bit more than double my age (almost triple the original poster's age).

I don't think he believed he would live to 150, but saying that expressed his feeling of something that was beyond his reach but which animated every moment of his life and his art.

What I take from the quote is that existence shouldn't be a bell curve, with half or more of your life as an inevitable decline, but that your youth can be a foundation upon which to build knowledge and wisdom. You should end up smarter after many years, shouldn't you?

To be able to look back and smile at one's bravado, knowing that you can do so much more now, with less effort and rush, and that if you continue striving, you'll do even more in the future. To deeply and truly understand your craft.

That's what I'd want, a real life worth living, not to be the tech equivalent of a child star.
Something tells me you benefit a lot from copyright being abolished

"If you don't agree with me it's because you're corrupt". Frankly, that's just a disgusting personal attack. And if I do, it's just because I'm a member of society and I believe society as a whole benefits a lot from copyright being abolished.

Do you think it's possible that you don't value copywrite law nearly as much as an artist would because their music would be effectively free and you wouldn't pay for music or movies anymore?

Hmm, you should checkout http://www.thepiratebay.org. Music and movies are already effectively free for anyone who doesn't want to pay, and for nerds like me who know how to install and run complex software it'll always be.
The elimination of copyright (not copywrite) law doesn't benefit me in that way, no.

And quite obviously, I mean for you to answer "I'm going to pay for everything because I want to!" so I can understand that there isn't something I'm missing in all this, just a lot of people who want an easier and cheeper way to get music and movies.

If I pay, it's already because I want to. Do you really think copyright law stops a person with the average knowledge that HN users have from getting free stuff?

Yes, I pay for stuff I can get for free.
You are on a forum for technical people. We don't talk about things that are provably impossible to implement. Enforcing copyright law is provably impossible, hence the moral question is moot. We are trying to examine what that will mean for artists and producers.

You on the other hand, are whining about the unfairness of it all. On a forum for technical people.

You are either ignorant of the technology portion of things, or are trolling. Either way, please leave until you have fixed the problem.
This is the right track.

Keep doing things. Be lazy. Try to do less. Figure out how you can reduce and write less code. Ask yourself again and again "Do I REALLY need this part?"

Your process sounds a lot like mine, honestly. Keep going, it works.
Hehe. SourceSafe is still the standard at the state govt I work for... high tech for, say, mid 1990s, which makes it downright fancy for us.

It's worse than giving them a kill switch. It even gives merchant account providers the incentive to take out "rogue" sites before they even get to make that request of them. The providers get to claim "immunity" from lawsuits if they "act in good faith" and take the sites out themselves before they ask them to.
Realize that the amount of "art" you've created is altogether meaningless if you have a shallow experience of life. Let your self-esteem become unhinged from what you perceive as success, and just enjoy your time. If you have a single creative bone in your body you will create something amazing in due time. I recommend reading Siddhartha again and then getting back to work!

Have a look at the Chikni Chameli avatar of Katrina.
> In most of the frameworks I've seen, to do so means to hack around the base framework.

ActiveRecord [1][2] and Django [3][4] both feature logging sql and dropping down to custom sql out of the box, so I'm not sure which frameworks you had to hack around to accomplish that but those are the two examples you used in your OP.

> It's also much faster to just write the correct query in the first place rather than logging every query from the framework and trying to change them for each situation that requires optimization.

In my experience, 90% or more of the generated queries are fine, there's just a few that need rewriting. And it's not like it takes a lot of cognitive overhead to glance at a console to see what queries are being executed while you're testing that new feature you just added. For me, it's certainly less overhead than writing all of them myself.

We'll have to agree to disagree. I never thought that there was anybody "reappropriating copyright" on digital artwork that didn't honestly believe they were doing something wrong.

If nobody gets paid for producing art, then our artists can't afford to make it their jobs, which means they won't have enough time to make better art.

What is simply amazing to me is that anybody would rather steal the work than just not have it. If it doesn't have any value, then why do you need it?

Yes, I'm implying that there is tangibility to a digital good. Perhaps the car analogy wasn't great, but if you're the guy selling your mother's famous chocolate chip cookie recipe, and I steal... errr, COPY the recipe down and put you out of business, I'd imagine you wouldn't think too fondly of me.

Please excuse me if I can put myself in the shoes of those being stolen... pirated... copied... victimlessnessed upon, and that I feel more for their needs to get compensated more than the arrogant needs of those who feel justified in stealing something they didn't create while trivializing the efforts of those who created it in the same breath.
The defer syntax feels wrong to me, I think because it looks like a function call but doesn't behave like one (because it assigns to its arguments). If it behaves different then it should look different.

Since it creates a continuation, perhaps it should resemble the syntax for creating a function, like this:

await resolve "host.com", (ip, err) ~>
console.log "#{ip} #{err}"

or this:

await resolve "host.com", (ip, err) <-
console.log "#{ip} #{err}"

Introducing an operator like this would also avoid some name collisions.

And does the callcc really have to be able to assign to things? Make it work just like a formal parameter list, and then you can actually compile it into one, avoiding all that pass-by-reference hoopla.

The autocb thing is even weirder. Magic variable names? I've never heard of a language that resorted to this. Why not just some new syntax to mark a parameter as the callback? Perhaps some postfix modifier, to match the splat syntax?

resolve = (host, callback <-) ->
...
return ip, err

or overload a keyword?

resolve = (host, return callback) ->
...
return ip, err
Apart from the comments seen here, just a small bit of advice from me: Fix the color of your ordered list. I noticed that it's gray for "li" in general, and white for "#splash ol li", but its still gray in Chrome for Ubuntu.
The problem with your statement is the equivalent developer is extremely common in the PHP world. There's tons of people who hack on WordPress or Drupal and 'have no idea how things work underneath'. It's probably the majority of people with "PHP" on their resume.

I've never understood the fascination with voice control. It's clumsy, it's inaccurate, and honestly it's a bit embarrassing to use alone or in public. Yet, "everyone" seems to want it, despite the fact that spatial-sensor-based (e.g. motion sensors, Kinect, etc. -- note that I'm not talking about gestures, which have the same problems with ambiguity as voice) and tactile controls are much more efficient.
Not buying and listening doesn't derive benefit from it.

If you don't believe in copyright as a natural right, and as a result, simply do not purchase music that you find objectionable on whatever grounds, then I support you 100%.

Regardless of whether or not copying the material deprives them of a tangible good, it didn't cost them nothing to produce the work. Instruments are expensive, recording time is expensive, distribution is expensive, etc.

More to the point, I believe that even if you don't consider the artist the owner of the work, then I believe you should respect that they are the owners of its distribution.
Startups in Singapore
I know Silicon Valley is the place to be for startups, but with the difficulties of US immigration, there needs to be another place in the world to copy the success. I believe Singapore may become just that place. Singapore is the easiest place in the world to do business. Everyone speaks english. I am a startup and will be setting up in Singapore soon. ycombinator do you (or anyone) have plans to branch out?

Holiday Hack: Christmas Planner
I was at conference recently talking to a group of "developers" and one finally asked, so what kind of language requirements do you have of the people you hire. I answered that I don't really have any requirements of the specific language. They all looked at each other and nodded, oh, so you must not be too advanced as you are not looking for people with experience in new advanced languages. I was a little surprised because I was thinking the EXACT opposite. I work with _developers_. I don't really give a shit what syntax they prefer of are used to. If you can create your own framework error handling, message queues, custom db libs, etc then that is useful. A real dev can pick up a new language and syntax in a week, so just because you can write hello world in 10 languages or use some rails ORM to output some stuff does not make you a developer.

It's all starting to take me back to my youth watching Robotech and remembering the Zentradi, an advanced race with awesome technology and tools that were developed for them generations ago, but none of the understood how any of it worked or how to fix it, they could only use it. If it broke, they just start over with a new copy instead of debugging it. I hope that the our new generation wont end up like that.

I recently interviewed a recent CS grad that had no idea of the correlation of array of characters and pointers to those characters. You know that it's all just addresses to memory, right?

Anyway, of course there are those who truly dissect and get all the languages and their benefits but are few and between.

Give me a dev that "gets it" in one language any day, instead of someone who thinks remembering the function call or some syntax in 10 languages is of value.

If I hire someone here is how I rank them...
1. 5 years experience in C
2. 5 years experience in PHP
3. 5 years experience in Rails
4. 5 years experience in Rails, Python, erlang, java, php, c, other languages dujour.

Ok, there are people that are just picking up PHP and don't know squat, but at least they know they are beginners and are teachable.

Probably not. I still think in javascript and rely on the assumption that I can peek at the compiled output anytime. Looking forward for source-mapping though :)
So when you say "use that as justification", you mean purely in a legal sense? That was most unclear if so.
Don't build SOPA
I think it will be more like the "self-checkout" stations we see already at grocery stores. Instead of 3-4 people cooking, and 2-3 people taking orders at the counter/drive through, it'll be a bunch of "robots" cooking the food, and a self-service ordering station, with one person that oversees the robots, and one person overseeing the registers. Unfortunately, you usually need a human being to handle exceptional situations whether it's the human beings making mistakes, or the food preparation going wrong.

I think your moral justifications are simply that; justifications. Stealing isn't right, and if you don't want to support an artist, don't buy their work. That is, in my opinion, both the legal and moral way to be on the right side of artists.

The same way debugging between machine code and source code works when all you really have from the processor is an instruction pointer. :D

You maintain a two-way mapping between file names/line numbers in the CS source and file names/line numbers in the JS source. When the debugger throws an exception with a line number, just translate it before presenting it to the user. For break points and stepping, go in the opposite direction.
