Well it's true that the Go compiler isn't comparable to GCC in terms of optimization but it's still quite new and is likely to improve quite a bit. As for Go supporting other compiler backends that's already happening with GccGo which is a Go frontend for GCC and yes it does generate much faster code than the official compiler (although it still lacks some key features last time I checked).

I don't think we'll see GCC (or LLVM) as the official backend though, as they've stated that the reason they decided to do the whole compiler from scratch was that both gcc and llvm backends were considered too large and slow.

There's been a couple articles[1][2] that talked about Dell's Enterprise and Networking platforms gaining more ground and getting a heavier push from corporate.

It's nice to see a big purchase like this to show how committed they really are.

While this may be true, people can't be expected to go tracking down and installing a font just to see the characters that don't happen to be rendering in your site / app. Another solution is required, such as normal ascii brackets.

I think there is nothing wrong with it as long as you are conscious of the image it sends, and are willing to counter the obvious negative stereotypes, namely that you are not a hacker, not part of hacker culture, and therefore incapable of starting a tech startup..... ;-) Of course, low expectations can be made to work to one's advantage.
I really think that you're completely missing the point in defending Google and maybe Goldman Sachs by saying that their decisions are ok because they are made rationally.

Rationality is emotionless and mechanical. It's about making a reasonable decision based on whatever information is available to you. However, rational decisions do not involve morals, culture, or feelings. This is exactly what companies like Google and Goldman Sachs are being criticized for.

When game theory is baked into your corporate culture, this is what you get. The company starts an inevitable slide from "Do No Evil" into "Make the Best Decision You Can With the Information You Have".

If I look down into my wallet and see no money there, and I'm hungry for lunch, and I decide to steal some money from a little old lady, that may be a perfectly rational decision to make. An outside observer may say I'm being evil, but they don't have a complete information picture about how hungry I am, or how long the line at the ATM is, or that everyone else is eating lunch so I have a duty to my shareholders to do the same.
OK, let's amuse your suggestion for a second:

1. I go to a shop, want to buy a cucumber, what I find is oddly shaped with bulges on it. Perfectly edible, but not that great for cooking and therefore I get less value. It is however sold as a cucumber; I am dissatisfied. I understand it might be a good idea to be able to sell those cucumbers; I do not trust your assertion that the cucumbers could not be sold legally - they probably could be sold at prices lower than usual. They could also be sold to companies that turn them into pulp or something like that; as animal food; etc. They just couldn't be sold as the Standard Cucumber Type #23.

2. Farmers are allowed to sell as much as they want. Some of them go for it and are able to sell the extra and end up making more money; others produce a lot of shit and end up not selling. I remember reading the news about road blocks set up by farmers dumping their grain onto highways. Yeah, nice thinking, Commisar Rafski.

Countries which do not have quotas end up with cheap butter. Why? Because the government ends up being forced to buy the surplus milk at standard price. Lots of farmers end up working on the assumption that as much milk as they produce is good, because it'll get bought at that specific minimal price no matter what quality it is. They could instead spend their time and resources making something that's needed, but no, they end up making volatile produce that'll decay in a week if it doesn't get turned to butter. And so, you end up having lots of butter. Again you are incentivizing completely pointless work. Really well intentioned, too. But short-sighted. Think twice the next time you compare the finance and economic prowess of the leading scholars in the whole European Union combined, with that of your farmer friend-of-a-friend who hasn't finished high school (that's the typical educational level of farmers in Poland).

I really don't get what is so fundamentally wrong with email. Sure you get a lot of it, but with spam control, filters and tags set up stuff gets sorted out pretty well.

And if you have something that can be solved with a 2 minute call don't waste an afternoon of back and forward emails.
An estimate for the rent was specified in the slides: A room and office space is 1200$/person/month in a shared room or 3000$/person/month for a single with ocean view.
Presumably it has something to do with external stakeholders. The more influence they get, the more they can drive the company towards short-termism and potential destruction. You either need an incisive leader, or a bootstrapped business.
It's not that this post bored me, it's the "This is amazing/great/terrible/stupid" reaction to the news things are getting ported. Progress, time marches on, etc.
It's interesting how the tone of this article is almost exactly the same as the one about the Microsoft employee that recently quit Google.

Something happens to companies as they get larger, where the culture of a company starts dying from a death-by-a-thousand-cuts, and then they start promoting the wrong people into upper management that seem to really poison a very good company culture. It sounds like Goldman Sachs is one of these companies.

The irony is that I think the shift in mentality came from Wall Street itself pushing the idea of "maximizing shareholder value", in the 80s. This lead to a bunch of financially positive but culturally negative (some would say sociopathic) decisions, such as closing plants that were profitable, but weren't profitable enough. I think Michael Moore had a movie on this called "The Big One".

Forbes has an article on this, calling it "The Dumbest Idea in the World":

http://www.forbes.com/sites/stevedenning/2011/11/28/maximizi...

I read the biography on Goldman Sachs, and I don't doubt for one second that there was a historic culture that most of the employees were fiercely proud of. But as the author mentioned, a few mistaken promotions into power and the whole culture of a company can change through death by a thousand cuts. No doubt the same thing is happening at all large companies that started off with great roots. I saw this occur at Yahoo, where completely idiotic decisions were made in order to preserve revenues so that managers' bonuses were left in tact.

Is this something that can be avoided? I'm not sure... corporate culture starts at the top and works its way down. It's something that must be demonstrated by the leaders of the company at every level, and it filters down to the lowest ranks. So if you have a company with strong leadership, then I think it can be staved off for a while, but it requires a relentless focus.
"The hope is that the remaining 30% that will never make back their budgets will get paid for by the successes. This is a gamble, but it's the most essential one of every entertainment industry: a few huge hits that subsidize tons of losers."

If this figure is accurate, then it represents a far better hit rate than what the US movie and TV industries usually achieve. (The rule of thumb in the US entertainment industry is that less than 25% of TV pilots makes it to the airwaves, and of those, a very small percentage last a full season; an even smaller percentage of those last more than a full season; a fraction of those, still, last enough seasons to become financially successful. I can't recall the film industry hit rate off the top of my head, but I believe the going theory is that 4 in 5 films will fail, and the remaining 1 must subsidize those failures).

In fact, I think the US entertainment businesses will need to learn a lot from the anime business. As distribution techology becomes more sophisticated, we're going to enter a world where two things happen: 1) opinion leaders within a certain genre (superfans, otaku, loyalists, diehards...whatever we want to call them) will discover new content via collaborative filtering as seen on Netflix, iTunes via the Genius algo, etc.; and 2) those folks will, in turn, share their discoveries with linkminded friends via social networks. These distribution patterns will be less than kind to the mass-market, "shotgun" approach as it's been practiced by Hollywood firms for nearly a century. Conversely, they'll be much kinder to niche-portfolio production and marketing. To patio11's point, this will mean resources being devoted to product differentiation: basic stuff for the casual fans, and more limited-edition, souped-up stuff for the otaku (where the real money gets made). It'll also mean that entertainment firms will need to get very serious about high-involvement CRM with their otaku bases, as video game companies currently do. (To some extent, this has already been happening in recent years, i.e., with everyone in Hollywood's annually bending knee to the kingmakers at ComicCon).

>The most visible (to a young person) sign of a bank's character is how it treats its employees

Character in a limited sense, but I don't know how much that translates into client satisfaction. Foxconn, Apple, and Disneyland come to mind.

As a trader I officially had a 50 hour week. I stayed for 70+ hours because I found the work I was doing, at least initially, interesting (I was generally the last trader on the desk to go home). Specifically regarding investment bankers, yes they work very long hours, but the analysts there generally see the time as financial boot camp. Besides, the staff senior to them are no less workaholic.

Some start-ups have their employees working 90+ hours. This isn't because they're evil but because they have limited resources, a lot of work, and the people there are amazingly passionate about what they're doing.

You are mistaken about #2, optimization pass is not very relevant in total build time, even for compilers that spend a relatively long time in the optimization pass. Go build times are fast because 1) the grammar is not ambiguous to yacc yielding an O(n) parser that doesn't require maintaining a symbol table, 2) Dependency resolution is handled in an unique way, objects pull their dependencies so if A depends on B, C depends on A, and D depends on C and B, D doesn't need to look for B, since C contains A, B, and C. This doesn't seem like much, but it is, build times scale linearly with the number of objects instead of O(n^2).

The gc suite doesn't produce code as tight as gcc, but almost no code in the world is CPU bound, everything is I/O bound.

This is indicative of the shift of power within GS from investment banking to the trading side of operations. That shift itself is based on who is generating the most profits. Seems that trading and investment banking maybe ideologically opposing forces, from a client interest standpoint. So to remove conflicts of interest they should divest of one or the other and decide who they want to be.

And I wonder, is this sort of moral decay necessarily part of the current corporate world?

by construction:

The documentary is critical of the modern-day corporation, considering its legal status as a class of person and evaluating its behaviour towards society and the world at large as a psychiatrist might evaluate an ordinary person. [...] corporations are systematically compelled to behave with the DSM-IV's symptoms of psychopathy

1.) 18 is legally an adult, I don't see why this is any different than when an 18 year old murders someone or deals drugs. Obviously the crimes are very different, but if/while what he did is illegal, why should the legal system treat it differently age-wise than anything else?

2.) He kept doing it for years, which indicates he didn't (or at least hadn't yet) regret it.
That part of it seems more lazily stereotypical than anything else, but yeah.
You can go on "shore leave" as often as a US tourist visa allows. I recall having read in a previous mention of Blueseed that they could set up connections to ports in Mexico and Canada as well, although I'm not perfectly sure how that would work - a ferry would take a long time. Seaplanes perhaps?
I think it's a bit early to decide that. DoubleFine Adventure and Wasteland 2 are really big hits with the fans, and this is the first time this has happened. There's a lot of emotion involved here.

If this were new IP and/or new devs, it wouldn't be nearly so crazy.

I'm not saying it can't be done, just that it's not going to be a free ride in the future just because these 2 groups did it. They're going to have to work hard for it... Probably a lot harder than these 2 projects did.
What I am asking is whether great places to work inevitable decay as the company gets large

Odds are you will definitely lose that personal connection as you go from working for "the owner" to working for a manager that reports to a VP that reports to the CEO that reports to the Board that reports to the shareholders.

But what I've seen in a lot of these "leaving" posts isn't quite that... It's more of a "the king has no clothes" epiphany: They go to work at a place thinking it's a thing-in-itself then wake up one day and realize how the sausage is being made.

So GOOG isn't a post-grad research lab: It's a company that sells ads.
So GS isn't the equivalent of a fee only financial planner.

They never were more than that.. only the people involved thought they were something more.
I'm not sure why this site is being treated any differently to all the other link sharing sites out there? Is he being made an example out of?

Just seems like this is all at a great cost to both the UK and US, and yet, does very little to tackle the perceived problem. Link sharing sites continue to exist. As his site was taken down after authorities spoke to him, was any money seized? Either way, if the police feel the matter has been dealt with, I'm not sure what the US aim to achieve out of this.

Perhaps we should compile a list of US based link sharing sites and ask they focus on problems at home before extraditing others. Maybe then the laws and procedures involving such sites will be suitably developed to be able to take overseas.

Seeking Work Remote | Node.js, Python, Scala

I'm a passionate programmer and product developer. I've been programming professionally since 2002 and I bring expertise in both front-end and back-end development.

In the last ten years, I've successfully executed freelance, open source and enterprise projects. I have been part of cross-functional and cross-cultural teams and I've had the opportunity to work with some very interesting people and companies.

I enjoy building browser based, real-time apps using innovative technologies including Node.js, Socket.io, Express.js, HTML5, JQuery, SugarJS, CSS3 etc.

Enterprise technologies that interest me are primarily Python and Scala. I've been working with NoSQL databases — MongoDB and Google Data Store APIs in particular.

Other technologies that I've had fun with over the years are Adobe Flex, Java (Spring, Hibernate and popular enterprise frameworks), PHP 5 and related platforms, frameworks and libraries.

I'm a keen open-source enthusiast and my GitHub [1] profile contains contributions to various Node.js, Scala, Python and Adobe Flex projects.

Most of this can be gamed, even the $10^6 purchase: a bunch of shell-companies, buying and selling between them, but the net result is that no money ever changes hands. Also, is "250,000 likes" a meaningful metric? Everyone can post a lolcat ;)

In the slide deck, it mentions that to get onto the boat, you need to put down a deposit to cover travel to a country of your choice.

I don't know why this is downvoted. Apples fall from trees, water is wet, and consulting businesses can be sold for money. Happens all the time.

Valuations are calculated very, very differently than for product businesses. There exist consultancies which have sold for amounts in excess of every YC company which has exited through today, although I don't know of any examples off the top of my head which rival Dropbox / Airbnb / etc.

But I'd you're doubting that e.g. you can sell a consultancy for $20 million or $200 million, you're doubting an observable feature of material reality.

Limited resources. That's why the long hours are not a sign of evil in startups but are one in banking. Banks could easily hire more people. Startups generally hire good people as soon as they can.
