In one word: channels.

They might be theoretically equivalent to some degree, but in practice they are quite different, and I find reasoning about both concurrency and parallelism using goroutines and channels much more natural.

Sorry man. We all worked hard on this and were excited to get it out; it's been well-received by our users and I wanted to post it. Did not mean to offend.
Or they think they are running rings around them. Circle shaped rings, in an elliptical world. B/C players won't understand that... heh.
ditto.

I don't get their rationale behind killing iGoogle. Sure, it's not sleek looking enough nor "social" enough... but are those enough reasons to kill it? Cost of support? This is a product people actually find useful, and many can't live without, isn't that enough a reason to keep it?!

On the other hand, I wonder how many people would care about it that much if it's Google+ that were dropped... That's actually something you CAN live without...
I would love to see some objective evidence on the distribution of productivity among programmers. Is the distribution really so skewed?

Further, if the distribution really is very skewed and A players are rare, then I would put forth that the A players are vastly underpaid.

Putting aside the productivity arguments, talking about the immense value you place on your employees while (possibly) conspiring with your competitors to keep salaries low is awfully unethical. [1]

Same here, I'm running 20.0.1132 on Win7. (I also have Adblock, Ghostery, and FB Disconnect installed, in case those are somehow creating some interference.)

Edit: Nevermind. Figured out you have to click on the username. But, it also intercepts middle-mouse clicks, so I can't quickly open in a new tab.

Ah you're right, it seems you can get a static build by recompiling GTK+ and its dependencies with the appropriate flags and some extra manipulation...

I worked for a very large Mega Indian IT corp. Where many clueless folks got promoted en masse, in the 90's and early 2000's IT rush here.

What I saw was 95% of the middle management layer was thick. Practically of no use, and acted nothing more than an inefficient communication buffer between higher management and devs. They treated developers like tissues, choking innovation at every level. To make it look as though programmers are useless bunch of lot, and whatever good is happening in the organization it was because of them. The qualification of most these managers at best described was 'can write emails'.

Performance evaluation in such companies is a joke, Only managers pets get promoted. And company functions like gangs working for their survival rather than for the company.

Yes. But you try your best not to fail (i.e., don't buy jumbo jets with your Series A), so that your investors don't blame you. Maybe next time around, they'll invest in your team again!

Or, they can convince a big company to acqui-hire your company. Say, Monopo-soft purchases your company for $50,000,000. Then your investors can recoup a portion of their original investment.

Considering this is a man who's built one of the world's most successful computer software and hardware companies, I think it's safe to say he knows whereof he speaks. And we can put this question to rest.

And I think the exact number or ratio is not important, and probably not measureable. But I bet anyone who's been around long enough, exposed to wide enough variety of programmers, will agree that there is a wide range of skill & talent. But of course when it comes to pay, salary-wise, working for somebody else, there really isn't. And that's a shame. Or at least an inefficiency.
I like George Boolos' explanation because it plays with my paradoxic sensebrain, with something like poetry. Why not call it a poem?

But I like your explanations too.

However, I think that the Goedel card is counter-played well by the Schrodinger one. "This statement cannot be proven" is only a false statement because you inspect it with your system. It might otherwise be completely true.
> They are not like processes, they share the same address space.

Yes, but is worth remembering Go's (concurrency) motto:

Do not communicate by sharing memory; instead, share memory by communicating.

With channels you can send values, or pointers to the shared address space, so is much more efficient, or even channels (channels of channels are a very powerful and useful concept).
Nah, same here - and i just got up...

The article is probably spun beyond recognization...
Looks like you need to update some of your client side JS to set the proper environment:

/**
*	Sets a variable, given our current domain. If we're running on a dev
*	environment, it stays out of the hash and falls to dev.
*/
mg_.env = {
'staging.mygengo.com': 'staging',
'qa.mygengo.com': 'qa',
'mygengo.com': 'production'
}[window.location.host];
if(typeof mg_.env === 'undefined') mg_.env = 'dev';

Both Message-ID spoofing/reuse and dressing up the message body to look like it was coming from a mobile device would probably rank the spam's quality lower than otherwise.

Your design made me to like Microsoft and Look Current Microsoft product in different Eye. Believe me I'm a Linux Hacker.
Even then, the approaches were entirely different. Microsoft tried shoehorning their desktop os into a tablet, Apple did not. They did the same thing for their phone os, I for one do not miss the stylus phones.
You have to spend a lot of time doing it. A lot. Of time. Probably the fastest way is to pick up SICP and work through most of the problems. And, by extension, look at the undergraduate curriculum of, say, UC Berkeley / Stanford / MIT / CMU / Harvard / Caltech, get the book, start reading, etc...

The computer itself gives you plenty of feedback, although not on the quality of your code. Once you get good at the foundations, read through Code Complete once, skimming the boring stuff (and there is plenty of boring stuff). This will give you the basic framework for code quality.

Next step is to get a challenging job...make friends with a recruiter who recruits for start-ups. For example Python meet-ups. You have to be a professional programmer for 2 years before you get good.
And you're sticking up for the fair-weather fans who aren't willing to take out a second mortgage on their homes.

Easier for some people, harder for other people.

It's hard to please everyone when you organise an event.

We are looking to mix it up with more events both on weekends and weekdays, so stay tuned.
I had no idea how bad the scalping situation was in the US until I tried to get tickets to a Lollapalooza aftershow (I live in Australia, and am going to Lolla as a part of a holiday).

I waited up late to get tickets, was on at exactly 10am Chicago time, suffered a website crashing hard and, within 15 minutes, the gig had sold out. Defeated, I went to bed (it was pretty late in my time zone).

Next morning, I got up, and there were 400+ tickets for sale on StubHub. For a 1300-person venue. Even if 100% of scalped tickets went on sale, on one website, within 10 hours of the event going on sale, that's still 30% scalping rate. If anyone is wondering, it was Childish Gambino at the Vic Theatre.

Now, I agree that part of the solution is to charge more for tickets (and I'm used to it - a lineup like Lollapalooza's would be impossible in Australia - tickets to a RHCP gig alone go for $150+). However, by allowing scalping to this extreme, Scalpers can buy 10x$30 tickets and sell only 2-3 of them at a ridiculous price to superfans and still turn a profit, leaving the rest unused. Everyone loses except the scalpers.

Big festivals in Australia print your name and date of birth on the ticket, and either only allow you to resell the ticket back to the festival (at cost), who then on sell it under a different name, or charge a fee to change the name on the ticket so that resellers are at a disadvantage. Both have their disadvantages, but both are better than the current situation in the US.
I do miss phones with decent (and that meas physical) keyboards.
CS weeds out the bad programmers so they never graduate. If you can pass Stanford's CS program you are probably pretty smart.

I don't know, I'd much prefer the lies to be obvious "Beijing isn't polluted" than "No, that Apache isn't gunning down civilians". (Hmm, I realise, that is possibly inciting a whole other discussion).

That aside, I still reckon, that article was biased for no reason, other than to continue the 'us against them' mentality that gets no where.

And a non-biased fact/data based media outlet would be a great addition to the the world/national (which ever level) media.
Yes, some programmers are billionaires, and some are not. This is direct, objective evidence of the distribution of productivity among programmers.
Sorry guys - we've almost organised events in Kansai a couple of times, but it's a bit difficult for us right now. We're flat out with MakeLeaps stuff and the HN Tokyo events.

If you do end up doing one though, we're happy to send out a notice to everyone, and also happy to come over and have a drink and support you.
Thanks for coming along! Always nice to get good feedback.
Why did you turn off the Youtube full screen option??
Go Opera! Go!

How would one buy a computer in East Europe?

You go to some PC shop (the vast majority of them were not in a chain of shops, just one guy selling PCs in one area and that's it). You barely had enough money for the machine so nobody was buying software. Anyway, the shop owner (a technical person) knew that it can't work unless he installs some OS. So Windows was installed for free. They could also install some other software for a small fee (the fee was for the work to install it and not for software), or you could buy CDs with software. When they installed software they would usually install the best there was (because anyway, nobody was paying for it so why not?). That meant best software in the category and the latest version of that software. For browsers that meant Opera.

How did you fix the PC?

You just get you technical friend to do it or the shop owner that sold you the PC. When these people would see that you still use IE they would (start to cry and) immediately install what they used: Opera.

So Opera adoption was driven by technical people installing, repairing PCs.

Why it's not so popular elsewhere?

Marketing. MS was telling you how to get on the internet in ads. Firefox was fighting a big monster in articles. I don't recall seeing either for Opera at the time.
No, but it's very helpful for preparation and organisation if you can confirm as soon as you can.

Elevator: Why Take the Stairs When You Can Take the Elevator
> This whole "supporting browsers" thing should be gone, and very soon. There are specifications that browser makers should follow, and if they are all supporting those specifications, then they well be well-supported.

The problem is that those specifications have become so insanely complex that it has become impossible to either write them without any ambiguities or to implement them without any bugs.

Hell, most of those "specifications" wont be fully finished for years to come, and the implementations wont be feature complete for years either, and still, whole new specifications are huge sets of features keep being added all the time (WebGL, I'm looking at you, but there are more coming) before the existing ones can work well.

Actually Flemming did not.

He did the research, he published, and the publication sat for 12 years until a couple of other people came along, and tried to build on it by making a practical product out of it.

Also after penicillin was discovered, researchers going back found evidence that other scientists had encountered it, and had failed to see that it had potential.

About electricity, Maxwell (who unified electricity and magnetism in one set of equations) when asked to justify the value of his work famously replied, "To tell you the truth we don't do it because it is useful but because it's amusing." In retelling the story he added, "Would it be any good to ask a mother what practical use her baby is?"

This is a clear demonstration that the scientists studying electricity in the early days did not know what practical utility their work would have. (Though the connection between electricity and magnetism today drives generators and electric motors all over the world, and the prediction of electromagnetic waves lead to the understanding of what light really is, and to the development of the telegraph, radio, television, etc, etc.)
[video] Siri vs. Google Search (Jelly Bean)
Most of the time, following this principle will make sense. It should be also said though that it's not always the right choice.

There are situations where using locks or atomic instructions is the better choice. But they nearly only come up in performance critical contexts.

It would be very nice to have some kind of compile-time enforceable ownership of data regarding channels and goroutines because debugging thread-safety issues is a pita.
I don't know how feasable it is to implement this though.

It will be great if we can have one more round of discussion including insights from hackers about their recent experiences, in the light of new features and improvements by each of the major players.
Although I like Go as a possible replacement for C, it always amazes me when people describe Go features, as if they were new and not already available in several languages, that for whatever reason are not currently mainstream.

It makes me think that the development community has a serious problem knowing the history of computer science.

Brilliant scheme.. might not work for Microsoft as it Enterprise focused, and mockups are more concentrated on Consumer focused. Though Office might look small, corps still love MS Office. Windows Server family, Azure Family, most of these are nowadays forefront tech from Microsoft. Dev tools is another aspect of Microsoft arsenal. Little bit more work might be required. Good effort though :) Would love to see Microsoft taking some hints from this design.

USTR's Surprise Turnaround: Now Advocating Limitations & Exceptions To Copyright
But the article wasn't biased, it was talking about a company who broke the law of the country they were operating in, it wasn't talking about so much the "evil" Chinese government as much as it was talking about the "evil" American company breaking American laws that just happen to export restrictions to China. It could have been export restrictions to France and they would still be breaking the law.

Chinese get sensitive about any article that mentions China, whether they make value judgements about the Chinese or not. I've seen even the most fact-based empirically-evidenced articles posted from the most reputable unbiased international news agencies get shot down by wu mao dang commentors as being unfair.

> You go to college because you're interested in something enough to pursue a greater understanding of it.

Except you can already learn as much as you want, for free, on your own time, without limit, forever, without having to spend the money & extra time costs of college. It's like we live in a world with bodies and gravity and yet folks need to drive to a gym where they buy an expensive membership just so they can exercise their muscles and lungs. It's ludicrous from a certain point of view.

Pro-tip to all 18-somethings that are considering going to college: you can buy all those college textbooks, or equivalent, directly, without going to university. Even better, you can get the same instructional material and references cheaper or even free. But then you would already know that IF you truly had a thirst for knowledge and greater understanding. You already would have been self-educating long before reaching 18. (Unless your parents held you back, horrible family life, locked in a box, etc. all the reasonable exceptional cases -- but even then there is almost always a way to learn and gain greater understanding, without spending the big bucks.)

And I love college in many ways. But, "Death to college!" Let's keep the best parts and then trash or fix the rest.
A similar situation occurred in the UK, with a legal firm sending out extortion letters threatening to take people to court for copyright infringement.

A number replied demanding their day in court and, in the same way, the complainant withdrew the case.

However, the judge in the case refused the application and demanded they come to court, so he could enforce judgement, and punish the complainant for filing a frivolous lawsuit.

If i remember correctly, the complainant went bankrupt, dispanding his company, in an attempt to avoid going to trial.
