There are all kinds of considerations with respect to node.

But discounting all interpreted languages because they are interpreted is crazy biased. I don't at all accept (and it is not self-evident) that a high-boilerplate compiled language is necessary to have a large codebase or acceptable performance. Unless most of your storage is in memcached, the database is far more likely to be a bottleneck than your interpreter (!)

There are a number of compilers for Lisp.

Between these two issues with your post, I would not be convinced to accept your advice regarding node, either.
Wait, do you really want to know? Really, really?

The President is not a dictator, and if he makes a bunch of promises he'll be unable to fulfill because of a hostile Congress it'll come back to bite him.

And in all honesty, Reddit is terrible at AMA questions. 50% circlejerk, 50% obvious softball questions any interviewer would ask. It's a rarity that we even get any probing questions voted to the top.
It solves your problem. You'd be giving up the Gmail web client, but the Gmail web client has turned to crap lately and other mail clients have grown an "archive" button and a usable search feature, so there's no compelling reason not to switch.

So nice there are more and more companies which understand that keeping their employees in comfort is so essential for the long-term success. Giving more freedom and spare time, makes people more productive during work time. No stress, no pressure = more job done. I also admire companies, that have understood that a 6-hour working day, would be more productive than the 8-hour, since time for distraction is reduced to significantly.

Fascinating. The last "Fourth Turning" was roughly 1925-1945, with the crises of the stock market crash, Great Depression, and World War 2.

It also was the formation of the New Deal, the Allied victory, the GI Bill of Rights (free higher education for vets), the rise of the US as a global superpower.

Further, it was followed by the "First Turning", from 1945-1965, which was the post-war boom.

A crisis can lead to a lot of good.

I'm not quite sure what this has to do with trusting the government - I think you may be reading far too much into Strauss-Howe to coincide with your own political beliefs. The US is not a totalitarian state, nor is Europe (though disclaimer, I'm in Canada). One of my parents did live in a totalitarian state - it was not like this, by any stretch.

We do exist in a time of crisis, financially, and in terms of global political leadership. In the US, the Republicans have become radicals, not conservatives, while the Democrats can't seem to be focused or unified on anything. In Europe, the leaders can't seem to accept the Euro will destroy their economies if they don't either fix their central bank or move to a more unified fiscal arrangement. In China, the government artificially keeps their currency low to foster growth that hides the fragility of the kleptocracy at the state and local levels of government. I could go on.

These are crises, but they are also opportunities to fix problems that seem intractable today. I do not think anyone can foresee the outcomes, I suspect it will be not hewing to any particular ideology, but rather a mix of pragmatic approaches that "just work".

Let’s Learn from the Angry Birds
"thus douchebaggery is in its DNA"

Let's play "name the logical fallacy"
Angular as in circles, rounded corners, spheres and generally not grid based designs?

Originally the idea came out of necessity. Computers cannot do circles. They can just do many-MANY-edged 'things' that appear as circles to us.

If you draw a simple circle in your favourite graphics program (not a vector image), save and it and zoom in; you'll notice pixels right? Well, those are the edges/lines that I was talking about.

Also, put three blocks in a row. They will be more space efficient for putting stuff into than three spheres/circles in that same area. That is why a circle of Diameter D can fit into a cube whose dimensions are DxDxD and still have room to spare.

Squares (which is what pixels on your monitor are anyway ... usually at least) are simply more space effiecient.

Though many designs do use circles to enhance or bring to attention a certain topic, message or idea.

You can though create a 'angular' design. But it'll be very much so on the creative side of things and won't fit most standard uses.
hm. That /sounds/ like a lot of money, but, like most people, I have no real handle on how much that really is; fifty thousand $200K/year developer years? I don't know if that's enough to support a bubble, but certainly it's a acquisition pool that would make angels, at least, drool. I don't know if that is enough money (considering that they probably won't spend it all in one place) to interest the more serious VC, but eh, it ain't nothin'
The difference is who takes on the risk. With startup investment, the investors risk their money, and if the company dies, the investors take that loss. They do this because they can make a lot of money from the startups that make it big. With student loans, the risk lies with the student.
So just have a manual "get mail" button that you can mash like every other mail client ever. If someone sends me an urgent email, and it's genuinely urgent, they'll follow it up with a phone call or a text or an IM, and then I can mash the "get mail" button.

Dremel was specifically invented to solve the problem of analyzing website logs for a web search engine. They didn't build it to study particle accelerator traces and then throw it at weblogs later.
When did you send it? I don't know about the recipient of your email, but it's not uncommon for me to have a multi-week backlog of email. Long emails tend to get a long reply, so those take even longer.
As I said somewhere else in this thread, it's easy enough to think up plausible scenarios given what we've heard so far. One that fits the possibility of saying that quote is that the lead wanted to clarify why it was not a good fit (a situation I have been in a few times before from both sides0.

More to the point, however, is that I was presenting a spectrum, with the-only-thing-worse-is-to-bomb-the-office bad on one end and about-as-well-as-leaving-early-can-end-without-bribing-everyone good on the other end and suggesting that bridges would really only expect to be burned near the worse end of the spectrum.

Or, even more of a key point, we only have a fragment of a second-hand telling of a single account of an interaction that really doesn't mean a whole lot and yet people still see the need to take sides and attack one party or the other from this position. This is so many levels of ridiculous that I couldn't help but try to inject some perspective.

Software Developer is not a Clown
TechCrunch is just a joke.

I would never go there outside of HN posts, but it's really amusing to see how self-important a bunch of hipster bloggers can be when writing about people doing actual work.

The puff pieces that they run as the majority of what is published, those are pretty funny. It's the slag pieces that are most entertaining.
Just to be clear. Sellers using Gaglers can be using any IM client or Gtalk as well. For sellers who do not want to configure an IM client, they can just use the browser.

On the buyers side, buyers have to use the browser to ask their quick questions. You can have the buyers use a IM client, only if you know the buyer ahead of time.

Can you explain how else you envision buyers using Google talk or any IM client? We'll be happy to collaborate with you to do this.
This comment branch is proof that all is not lost on HN. Thanks for being 'Good Guy Gregs' in the comments.

What is really needed, is a HN for other domains outside of technology.
lay off Paul, he's not making an arguement here that one is better than the other, he's arguing that the press wants stories that pull readership. Writing that Instagram sold for $1B is more interesting than someone that makes a few million in profit a year and has 4 day work weeks.

I myself side with the 37 signals guys that profit is king, but that takes nothing away from my friends that are in start ups chasing big coin.

Either is a viable strategy and i think it's terrible that this community doesnt allow both to co-exist as viable options.

This article says in many words what can be said in one sentence:

Make tech for low-skilled rather than high-skilled kind, there are far more people of the first kind.

That's how mysql succeded, that's how PHP succeded, that's how java succeded, that's how mongoDB and node.js are succeding.

You want your tech to be used widely ? engineer it to fit perfectly in the hand of unskilled individuals.

This is utterly disgusting, there are less good programmers today than there were 30 years ago, and most of that is purely related to the emergence of the "tools for the average dude" that end up plaguing even those who could've learned and become great.

I like the sound of how you did that. If someone tries to pull a surprise reveal on you they're hardly treating you with the respect you deserve in an interviewing context. Making it clear to them this is not acceptable behavior by disengaging is the only real signal you could send.

I have been in many situations where someone wants to talk about a gig but tries to squirm it around to more of a favor on the promise of some future funding event paying me. I usually have more experience than the other party, in such situations, with the funding process and likelihood of their success in it. What annoys me isn't the over-reach, it's the deception. It's being treated like an idiot who cannot handle the truth by someone who fears the rejection that might come with being up front. Truth is I do freebies and favors all the time, when I have spare cycles, as I really want people who have ideas to be successful - and if I can help I love to do so. But they need to be honest with me up front.

Sounds like you were dealing with inexperienced folks (though I'm extrapolating from insufficient data so I might be wrong there). If so you have done them a favor by sending them market signals about what they're offering and what they can likely get in return. I think you're right about dirty pool.
Because it's not about the forum, be it a TED talk, Reddit or a campaign speech. It's about voters and winning.
Currently, very little. Only when I have to revise some things ( < 5% ).
Nah, happens all the time. They just say the candidate wasn't up to it. Existing employees' vanity works as a defense against disbelieving the company line here - they must be special to have been hired, after all, not booted early like that donkey of a candidate.
Better integrity checks, mostly. Built in checksums of files, stricter limits on what you can do as a package ( no controlling terminal and so on ) whereas in deb it's "optional" and "flexible" (aka. not built in and maybe people will get together and decide something)

rpm has some build time analysing tools to track library (.so, python, perl, php, ruby imports) use and annotate this as dependencies.

This above feature is one that causes the mess when you don't have the full dependency graph for a package, because rpm by itself does no dependency resolution.
I'm aware that lisp can be compiled, that's why I said that dynamic languages "tend to be" interpreted (the implication being, they're not always interpreted).

My point is about comparing dynamic and non-dynamic languages. Dynamic languages tend to have "magic" where complex logic occurs without you explicitly declaring it, at the expense of either a) maintainability or b) performance or c) both

There's a trade off here: varying degrees of magic vs varying degrees of boilerplate.

Boilerplate code can make things very explicit and thus easier to reason about.

Now, NodeJS has the worst of both worlds. The callback mess is not easy to write, not easy to reason about, not easy to maintain, and there's no magic.

That's a lot of sacrifice, it better be for good gain. But exactly do you gain? I don't see any gains. Performance? You can get that with other languages/platforms (like Go for example) without sacrificing code clarity.

GMail can be configured to retrieve mail from another mailbox. That is, it can function as a POP3 client. That's the route I would investigate first.
Would be good to setup a system where you are able to get people to label something as urgent and you would still get this otherwise you would see it when you wanted. Depending on who is sending the majority of email your way and your social relationships this could work well.

I've read a lot of Jason's stuff and he has a lot of insightful things to say about running a successful small technology business. He probably understands it about as well as anyone on earth.

The part of the rhetoric I'm not as fond of is this false dichotomy that he often raises of "either small business is right or big-startups are right". Both can be right--they just have different goals. And there are strong relationships and dependencies between each type that make it particularly disingenuous to slander each other.

It reminds me a bit of the "you didn't build that" hubbub happening in American politics lately. There seems to be a "I did this" hubris, as you create high-quality web services catering to small teams.

Let's get real: you are building web services consumed by a browser (Netscape) on someone's Macbook Pro (Apple); your data found its way there over some serious switching infrastructure (Cisco); you stock your offices with goods from the best online retailers--oh yeah, and they host a bunch of your bulk data too (Amazon); your site is indexed by the major search engines and you expose your brand to potential customers via sophisticated advertising networks (Google); your keep your friends and fans in the loop on what your business is up to via massive social networks (Twitter).

Many of these companies were ambitious, they had low probabilities of success, they had much higher capital needs and a tighter window to hit the market.. than a slightly better product management system for small teams. But these VC-powered longshots--the lucky few winners--now form the beating heart of our industry. They provide good jobs to hundreds of thousands of people. And.. would 37 signals even exist without them?

Jason wants to make great money and have a good business and take Friday off. That is fine, that is seriously great. I'm not sure why the tone is so defensive, b/c, really, who's attacking that? That's a damn good way to go.

But some people want to "make a dent in the world". They need some money to do that! And they might fail! And rich guys are willing to gamble on the outcome! Who cares? It's audacious fucking fun to try to change the world, and sometimes it works. Afterwards, we can take a shower and feel clean and wholesome about the birth of 38 signals.
Well yes, we are all very fortunate that TC can figuratively pat itself on the back for such groundbreaking journalism.

Alexia's comment is just a reminder about the article's high quality.
Author raises a lot of good points. And given how tied we are to technology it's really good there's continual interest in us evaluating it in our lives and how we feel about it.

The pendulum seems to have shifted in recent times and I think we're all going through something analogous to the drinkers/smokers in the 60's/70's. Those were feel-good times of indulgence and merriness. We realized the consequences though and learned moderation as a society. I have a feeling we're about 10-20 years from coming to terms with a healthy technology lifestyle.
Me too please! Pretty please? ^_^

Do rpm-based managers still work out the package dependences incorrectly, take a long time to download the headers, and generally break constantly?

Honest question, I haven't used an RPM-based distro since a couple of years ago. Last was opensuse 11, then fedora 3.

rpm is a pretty great format, but the frontends are not very good. apt, on the other hand, rocks, and aptitude rocks even more.
Obama jams Reddit but keeps beer recipe secret
But no, it's actually worse my dear.

For example, let's say you start with mysql.
You have no features whatsoever, implement your own workarounds or simplified model, create your own text search because there is none (except in Myisam but then that's totally fucked up), and then you migrate to postgres, where every feature is available and working as advertised, you still have your workarounds and text search to remove, and your data model is all wrong because it was made on a pitiful dbms.

MongoDB is the same but worse, it has even less features than MySQL and is not even particularly fast so ...

Those who believe it's slow to design a database are just not DBAs and should leave it to the pros.

I write data models for full applications in SQL directly without any document or plan or layout, and it doesn't take long.
But then, I know why mysql is a piece of crap, I have truly kick ass instead of triggers on views on information_schema that maintain historifying triggers on any table whatsoever, so not exactly a first-timer.

Really, those people are only afraid of learning (the real powerful tools), and will stick to the shittiest ones provided they're just a bit easier to learn.

When google does not use an SQL database, it's because for the very simple task at hand, a full-fledged DBMS is overkill. Because what they do is indexed search. not run a database. thinking you can replace a database with indexed search is going back to the dark ages before databases were invented.
Calling people names is not really ok with the spirit or guidelines of Hacker News: if that's not something you'd say to DHH (who often pops in to comment here) in person, you shouldn't be writing it.
That phrase really is not universalizable at all. Where would we all be if nobody called out anybody else for anything?

Consider me voluntarily opted out from that nonsense. Please call me on my crap, you do not have to be perfect yourself to do so.

Your question is a straw man argument.

1) It's just not for entrepreneurs without coverage. Though that's not trivial - healthcare costs are non-trivial even for relatively healthy people, and the risks are very high particularly during a period where you're perhaps earning less money because you're starting a business.

2) It's not just about chronic illnesses, all healthcare costs money. Most people will have some expenses during any given year. It's a significant additional risk.

3) To grow a company you need to hire people. People need healthcare. You either are restricted to employees who can work without healthcare or you have to pay a lot for it because plans are more expensive at that scale. Healthcare is a challenge hiring older people with more experience.

There are lots of talented people who are discouraged from starting businesses or from joining startups because of the burden and risks associated with our staggeringly expensive, inefficient, employer-based healthcare system.

I have two children. I am divorced. Healthcare is always a concern when I choose to start a company or move to a company. This is not an atypical case.

First of all, I don't think you understand what a union is. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_unions_in_the_United_Stat...

Second, I don't think that's a very realistic picture of how things work. There are businesses which have a) a plan for how to operate and make money b) employees whom they pay to perform services. Then there are outside parties who may interact with that business in some way. But the business is going to operate in the fashion that makes the most sense for the business.

So Twitter has decided that it is in it's own best interest to limit how outside parties interact with its service. You'll have to convince them otherwise if you want to reverse that. Similarly, Apple has decided that allowing outside parties to have a certain degree of free reign in developing for its products is best for its business. Hopefully the distinction is fairly clear, but I'll lay it out because it seems like maybe it isn't to you:

Apple makes most of its money selling devices like iPhones, iPads, and computers. Third parties developing software for those devices only serves to increase their sales.

Twitter, on the other hand, is still trying to nail down their business model for making money. Third parties developing software using Twitter's APIs really only serves to increase the load on their servers. Perhaps initially it helped drive traffic, generate interface ideas, and even offered a company or two for Twitter to buy and integrate, but they are beyond that need now. At best they may be interested in allowing outside parties to build software on top of their service IF you grant them a share of the money you make in doing so (hence the whole, "let's talk when you get over your token limit" stance).

Businesses exist to make money. So if you want Twitter to open up their service, you'll need to demonstrate how it makes them money. That's the bottom line.
Furthermore, other sites jumping on this story are just as lame.
