Nice reminder that Yahoo is far from down and out, despite what you hear amongst the technorati these days.
From experience, development in Go can definitely be classified as rapid. The type system stays out of your way, and compile times are insignificant. Try compiling on play.golang.org, or tour.golang.org to see what I mean.

About this issue: yeah, its unfortunate, but its a property of the class of garbage collector that Go uses atm. My servers are all 64-bit, so doesn't really affect me. But I do feel bad for those who are trying to run Go on ARM, or on 32-bit servers.
Currently Rackspace but moving most of my servers to Leaseweb (NL) shortly.

Yeah, Microsoft did the same thing with the Xbox. They threw lots of money to developers in a climate when I think most people thought there was no way Microsoft could be cool enough to sell a console, particularly when it was going up against the PS2.

Now, 360 is the market leader.

NYT makes it sound like Microsoft is somehow cheating, but it's wise enough to realize that it needs to invest in order to bootstrap a new platform.

A custom protocol wouldn't strictly be necessary. You could have the browser tell the server the path of the dropped files then have the server instruct the native client to fetch and upload those files.

However the File object hides the full path from the JavaScript code for security reasons (see https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/File). I assume most dropped files would contain the user's home directory and therefore account name in the path.

Sorry PG but you don't have the full story clear. The 911 is on its sixth major product evolution and to say that 996 was the first 'new design' is inaccurate. Kirk Seaman's retrospective here, while not complete, is a good starting point: http://blog.caranddriver.com/porsche-911-generations-the-leg...
What you consider as verbosity in Python might the 'being explicit' philosophy of Python. For example though the succinctness of crafting a Perl regular expression is alluring , I have found writing regular expression the Python way and referring the results in an explicit
manner helpful in keeping the code readable.

The gain you mention (though the exponential part is debatable) is not limited to Perl alone[1]. Scripting languages provide a substantial gain in developer productivity freeing them from things like typing,
faster debug cycle etc. and that gain is not limited
to using Perl alone.

Check Table 1. in the reference I have mentioned, which
compares the time it took to develop the same application
in Tcl with time it took for development using in C/C++/Java. I think similar gain can be seen when one uses other scripting languages (say Python or Perl).

"I think Microsoft is just too focused on the phone market to give it a serious try."

My read of WP7 has been that the OS is super-chatty by design, live tiles and such. It seems a huge part of it will be knee-capped by not having an always-on connection.
I am skeptical that there are few women in tech primarily due to sexism or any bad behavior on the part of the men in the field. But regardless of the source of the imbalance, I am also strongly in support of efforts to correct the imbalance, as I think that women have a lot to offer the field that it desperately needs. I firmly support "sexist" efforts to create artificial incentives to lure women into the field, however unfair they may be to men, since by my estimation there is real wealth that will be created by getting them there.

Though I support that ideal, I question whether approaches like this are effective ways to achieve it, or even push things towards it at all - Etsy is basically throwing reasonably large amounts of money ($5k apiece) to get people that have already expressed a strong interest in tech to...continue expressing their strong interest in tech.

It's like the customer has already started entering their credit card number as the final step of a purchase, and you're spending all your development time optimizing the wording of your product description on that final page because you really want to make sure they finish entering that credit card number. You've already made the sale, spend your time worrying about something else!

What I'd much rather see is a focus further up the funnel, where you can actually affect people's behavior and choices in some meaningful way. Spend that 50 grand by offering, at a select set of good schools, $100 apiece to the first 500 freshman girls that enroll in a real CS course, and I'll cheer the effort - $100 bucks is a small price to pay to know that a smart girl at a good school is taking a programming class, but it just might be enough so that you actually see an increase in enrollment. If it's not and nobody bites, bump it to $200 the next semester, see if it changes. Keep the sample of schools small enough, and you'll at the very least be collecting some interesting data on how much money it actually takes to convince college girls to take CS classes. [I suspect even a $100 incentive would be enough to get female enrollment on par with male for intro classes, since at most schools an intro CS class will satisfy some sort of distribution requirement anyways]

If we can get girls into first-year CS classes, we will see more women enter the field, I guarantee that. Not all of them, but some, and some of them will be fantastic. It might be crass, but I have no problem with bribing them. I'd happily contribute a few thousand to the effort if there was a sizable one set up.

But if we're going to resort to bribery, let's at least make it cost effective. Bribing a tiny set of people that are already going to do what you want anyways is not a smart approach, not when there are so many more creative options.

This is realistically not an issue. First, on a 64 bit machine, the range of actually mapped addresses is small relative to all the possible values that can fit into 64 bits. Second, from an attacker's perspective, the values corresponding to mapped memory are extremely difficult to predict, and the values binary-equivalent to large allocations are impossible to predict, even with access to the source.

If you think you can still do it, all of *.golang.org and golang.org are running Go on Appengine, with the source code being freely available. This is your opportunity to get a back door into Google's servers.

>a bit of nuance. I know most people in the world can't easily get 8-10k/mo salaries. But talented developers in the US (or willing to work remotely) can.

No, we can't, if we don't live in Silicon Valley. I would call myself "talented", but the highest salary offer I've ever received was $87k/year. The lowest was around $72k/year. The average was around $80k/year.

Mind, most of these offers sounded better once you factored in things like stock options, working for a start-up, or really nice health insurance with stock options, but still. Outside of Silicon Valley, it's not at all routine to earn $120k/year as a programmer, even a reasonably good one.

The problem itself seems quite serious and I would seriously reconsider using Go if I was interested in it in the first place, but after seeing the way this is treated by the Go "community", I am pretty sure I will never ever even think about using Go for anything.

>Of course everything you say about the software industry is true, right down to the "libertarianism and Austrian economics" (I take it you prefer critical race theory and postcolonial studies).

Why would I prefer that bunch of idiot hippies? My preference is for Karl Marx and Henry George (with the former being better at seeing what capitalism really is, and the latter being the better economist).

>Your problem seems to be that you haven't considered the possibility that academia is even worse. Academia is even worse. (I dropped out of the Berkeley PhD program in 1992 - specialty, OS and languages. From what I can tell, academia has only gotten worse since then.)

This is precisely what I was considering at the end of undergrad. Hell, I'm in basically the same specialty as you were.

>Even if you want to be a bureaucrat, there's no guarantee that you'll be good at it. Good bureaucrats don't write posts like the one you just wrote. They don't antagonize anyone, ever, in any way. They would rather lie - and they do. Are you good at that?

Cool story, bro. Do you think I didn't consider the office-political implications of what I wrote?

* Most academics don't read Hacker News.

* Most academics would perceive this as on their side.

* I openly admit that I wrote the post not even with mere bias but with an active bent towards an overly-negative portrayal of reality.

* Most start-up folks here on Hacker News don't necessarily agree in whole, but agree in part. I've seen Steve Yegge's speech referenced a disturbing number of times on Reddit and HN.

* Most of the votes have been upvotes, indicating a perception that the discussion is worth having rather than storming off in a huff and blacklisting the offending poster.

>You think someone is going to fund you just because you're smart and have cool ideas?

No, I thought someone was going to fund me because my adviser is well-known and prestigious within the field. There's no point breeding inferior academic DNA into myself, is there?

>Otherwise, the simplest way to do the kind of research you want to do is to decide quite consciously to give yourself over to the salt-mining industry in the most mercenary possible way, spend a decade making as much money as you possibly can (and spending as little as you can), and (if you succeed) found your own little university of one. It's not Victorian science, either, but I'll tell you it's a lot closer than Berkeley.

For my field I never even saw any point in applying to Berkeley, but how do you propose to go about this? Even the successful industrial programmers I know, unless they became millionaires off a start-up, did not actually make enough money to "settle down" out of working and "found your own little university of one."

Provided you had the cash, it does sound like a fine idea.

And if I don't have that money, it's still someone else's to make.

to say that 996 was the first 'new design' is inaccurate

Well, the same thing could be said about "that guy with mostly C, PHP or Java experience".
In Go, you'd have to be using the unsafe package and some gnarliness to cast between the allocated pointer and int, so you just wouldn't be able to do this in vanilla Go.

I think the Internet needs an open trading platform for ad space. Something like an overarching OpenX. Google has their proprietary bidding system for Adwords, however we need a similar system for blogs, local websites, etc. Competition breeds quality and dynamism.

Another thing is that advertisers are tied to the same medium for long periods of time. It would be great to have a platform that could switch an ad (banner ad in this case) from one portal to another, depending on price, date and web traffic conditions.
Precisely. I use obfuscated store procedures.

The reason you have to defend yourself is that your style is currently less idiomatic than their style. The caveat of non-idiomatic choices is that you have to defend them either indefinitely or until the idioms change, whichever comes first. What I find odd is when people make a non-mainstream choice and aren't willing to put in the effort to back it up - swimming against the stream is great, but you have to be able to explain to people why you're doing it or be tough enough to ignore them when they ask.

Sorry but this is not 'ideal', this is Capacity Planning 101. If you're launching a new product which you expect to be very popular, take your peak traffic and double or quadruple it and build out infrastructure to handle it ahead of time. I thought this was the whole point of the "cloud"? Add a metric shit-ton of resources for a planned peak and dial it down after.

Last time I checked, I haven't built a service with +20mm users. I Googled you. I don't think you have built a service with +20mm users.

Programming is hard. Scaling is harder.

Let's have some empathy here. I bet the Instagram team has parents and siblings and significant others and friends that they haven't seen in a while. I bet they have responsibilities that they have neglected to keep the service up. I'd rather not poop on their head when they are trying to scale their service by millions of users.

Security hole in Facebook and Dropbox iOS apps
Why is the latter better? It seems equally good, but less idiomatic and certainly less obvious to most Ruby programmers.
I believe that apps are deal breakers in two different ways. First, for some small percentage (10%? 20%?) of the Smartphone buying community, they really want particular apps in order to be productive. Whether it's WhatsApp, Skype, Adobe Sketch, iPhoto, iMovie, GarageBand, Instagram, Path, etc.. - if the platform doesn't have _their_ favorite/desired/needed app, they will be unproductive/unhappy, and as such, won't chose that platform.

The second, much larger category of people, consists of those who, as you said, probably won't be inconvenienced by that missing app - but they don't want to be seen making a bad decision. These are the people who either are afraid of having purchased the "wrong" (whatever that means) device, or are worried about missing out on future benefits from their platform when developers don't roll out the AAA titles for it.

There is a reason why App developers pick and chose their platform. There is a reason why, my poor friends with Blackberry Bold's are getting almost NO application support from developers. My mother complains a little about how her HTC Desire HD lags behind my iPhone on some features or capabilities of some apps, but, nine times out of ten these days, the cool new app that I'm using on my iPhone is not (and probably never will be) available for the Blackberry.

So, the average user is actually smart to avoid these "dead end" platforms. They realize that, while there may not be a killer app that they need right now, if they truly want to enjoy the "App Ecosystem" - they need to chose a device that will get great developer support.

And right now, that is IOS first, Android Second, and, if Microsoft has anything to say about it, WP7 third.

Blackberry and Symbian are basically dead as far as App Development goes, and, as their Applications die up on the vine, their users are flocking away.

Some users see this as an opportunity, because with no competition, they have a much easier time making themselves seen, and (for the limited audience that they have), have a better chance of making revenue.

But that's from the _DEVELOPERS_ perspective. From the _USERS_ perspective, they could care less whether the individual developer is able to make a lot of money - all they care about is whether the World Class Apps are available for their platform.

I guess this is a long way of me saying I disagree with your thesis that Applications aren't critical to the success of a platform. Without the App developers, the platform will die. Microsoft realizes this.
