Any new language will have a maturity gap to make up for that will be hard to bridge.

Java has to some extent displaced C++ (and the .net framework has done some more of that), but I haven't seen any language that displaced C in an arena where C is strong.

For rust to make this happen they'll have to finalize the language spec, gain a decade+ experience in what the quirks are (these things only come out over time it seems), sway a generation of programmers to adopt it rather than the incumbent.

Go is shooting for the same space and it already lost the plot in several aspects (for instance: newer Go versions break older code).
I wonder why she ended up with such a large work load of interviews? Are they allowed to deny interview requests given to them?

However, sometimes the companies listed are subsidiaries and you can't tell the 'major' cellular provider for someone at a particular number.
Some people are good at interviewing, and in particular at filtering, and some are not. If you're good, and you do more than your regular share, you're doing the company a huge service.

I've heard of this function being applied at the other end of the interview loop. Microsoft has its "as appropriate" addition to the loop at the end. (Senior person isn't bothered to interview you unless previous people liked you.) Amazon has their "bar raisers", seasoned interviewers added for quality control, at least one on each loop.

Doing this up front seems to make more sense, as you waste fewer employees' time. At the same time, as Rachel indicates, it's less satisfying to the valued 'well-adjusted' interviewer, as they see few of the people they interviewed get hired.

Are there other models that solve that problem?

Question: how often do you actually ask women on dates? I mean unequivocally ask them on a "date"?

Empirically, I would say you are simply wrong. I know a fair number of short men who are successful with women. It's probably something else you are doing: dress, hygiene, posture/eye contact, lack of confidence (and not in a "you have to change who you are/act cocky" type of way.) I'm not asserting anything specific because I don't know you. Being short can hurt ones chances in the dating world, obviously, but do you really think all short guys just go dateless their whole lives? It's a ridiculous assertion.

We ran some tests on using CloudFlare for our S3 assets. It didn't speed things up at all.

On top of that, quite a few people have reported that CloudFlare would serve CAPTCHAs to users / mark the site as down and serve a static version. Anecdotally, I have seen this happen before browsing CloudFlare-enabled sites once or twice.

One other issue we saw: the incorrect image was once served. That was pretty disconcerting.

Between all of these issues, we gave up and ended up using CloudFront. It's a shame because CloudFlare is so much more feature-ful and pleasant to use. But I don't think it's a mature product yet.
23 Killer Lessons From Shark Tank
If losing that much weight made no difference your either still significantly over weight, gained no mussel mass, aiming rather high, or something else is wrong.

My honest suggestion is to remove you expectations. Spend a month responding to every profile until you start getting responses you don't have to keep going after that but you need a little signal to start. Then do some A/B testing to see what helps vs. hurts your response rate.

PS: Think of your profile like a resume you get ~5 seconds to catch someones interest.
New twist in stricken rig saga: Shell was moving it to avoid tax
My concern is more about scaling than raw page speed: of course going through a reverse proxy is going to be slower end-to-end than going directly to heroku. But taking the static asset load off of heroku without a Rube Goldberg CDN deployment is great, IMO: they just leverage standard HTTP caching headers and then those requests rarely if ever hit your dynos, like the old varnish functionality you got with bamboo stack on heroku. It's much more brain dead, which works for me.

I don't use or care much for all the dynamic optimization they offer (I turned it all off) and, with respect to the SSL cert, I don't really care about how it is issued (to a first approximation, no one looks at certs except the browser verifying the cert against the URL) but YMMV.

It does appear that wildcard certs have gotten very cheap now: http://www.namecheap.com/ssl-certificates/comodo.aspx so the cost savings isn't as great as I thought. (Thanks for pointing that out aioprisan.)

I've found that heroku performance thinking is a bit different than raw page speed thinking: my goal in life is to minimize the load on my dynos. I'd be willing to put up with a CDN that was slower serving static assets than heroku is, just to keep the load off the dynos, but I've found CloudFlare to be plenty fast.

Perhaps, but besides Google agreeing to provide reasonable access to those Motorola wireless patents that are standards based, other highlights include:

1. The FTC found little or no evidence of search bias toward Google's own products;

2. Google agreed to refrain from scraping content such as restaurant reviews;

3. Google agreed not to penalize websites in search rankings if the site opts out of Google's verticals (e.g. shopping);

4. Google agreed to give advertisers more flexible access to its AdWords platform.
Look, Google Music lets me listen to my music in the web interface without taking 6 hours to index my library, consuming tons of memory, locking out my MP3 player if I plug it into a different machine and doesn't require large client updates. It matches my music in higher quality than iTunes Match.

I'm sorry you live in Canada, and I'll concede that 25K>20K.

What the hell else do you want me to say? I'll still take a wireless sync and app install system every single day of the week over iTunes.

I am wondering when will the author take on correcting errors in MMIX code in Knuth's books. He will at least earn a hex dollar for his efforts.

Jokes apart, I admire the bravery in questioning K&R C's status. I have only a few personal insights to share as I don't code much these days.

1. I got introduced to C in 80's via some popular book. K&R not only taught me C but also was my entry point into the systems programing world. Before K&R, the BASIC programming books never allowed me to deal with memory or interrupt vectors in the way C allowed me.

2. C has a great power dynamic built in to it. You are on your own in dealing with this power. It's you who crashed the machine, not C and surely not K&R C.

3. Almost every language since C has borrowed something from C. Hence, anytime I saw a familiar notation or code block in any language that reminded me of C, I got confidence that I can learn this language.

K&R's many virtues give it an unique status. It did something that no C book or website can do it. It is the word of the language designer themselves. They shared their reasons of the choices they made.
That seems intuitive to me. When the computer is affective, I assume the programmer is talking to me.

Similar to cars, where we ascribe the physical properties of the vehicle to its owner, so we think that a tiny lady in a giant SUV is a big aggressive being, or that a truck driver is slow and dull.
The problem I have with this is that in real life, it doesn't matter how hard you work on something; what matters is the quality of the result. While I understand that praising kids for being smart causes problems, as Dweck suggests, I'm concerned that the approach she recommends will encourage the belief, already widespread, that effort alone is deserving of reward. This belief encourages struggle and mediocrity.
Damn. I'll fix that. Yes I have a Androided TouchPad but I didn't think I was fair to consider it a proper Android device so I didn't add it in.
One question that's come up for me a number of times in the past 2 years or so is "how permanent does a healthy relationship need to be?" Traditional values suggest that "'til death do us part" is the desired level of permanence, but as a society (even preceding online dating) we've been moving away from that idea. More specifically, it used to be somewhat taboo for a widow to remarry, but now it's almost expected that a young widow will eventually find another spouse.

As our expected lifespan grows, are the costs and benefits of fully committing to a single person changing? As far as kids are concerned, you want a marriage to last long enough to get the kids to a certain degree of autonomy, but is that level changing too (which is interesting, because it might seem that kids are taking longer to gain autonomy compared to a hundred years ago).

But we all expect to become grandparents. This is clearly beyond the point where you need to commit to a spouse for childhood reasons. Is our changing environment enough to justify an expectation that marriage should no longer be permanent?
You have software that you write once, then use, then throw away (scripts). For that sort of thing the time to write the software is relevant.

For all other software, which lives for years if not decades, most of the time is spent on maintenance, not on writing the first version. Reducing time in maintenance is much more important than reducing the time to write the first version from scratch.

I'm not saying Play is bad, or that a piece of software written in Play is not easier to maintain than software written in other frameworks. I'm just saying that the time to write the first version of a piece of software, which is what this article is about, is mostly irrelevant.
I think that's the wrong way to look at it. The time she put in also meant that some people that could potentially have been a bad fit were not hired which was good.
The writing world might be coming around to the whole Lean Startup thing.
The one has passed on, the other is currently otherwise engaged. You couldn't afford them, and you're so arrogant that anybody halfway versed in the art will probably not want to be associated with you to begin with.

You'd be HONOURED to work with people of that calibre, but instead you feel you need to show you're better than they are by kicking at them. Trust me, you can't kick that high up.
I have a CR-48 that my mother in law uses for Email. It's a browser, and a slow one. I will mention it but my premise is that touch is essential.
OK, I love the tide of unbridled machismo -- here's a little secret: No one is special, but one of the precious gifts we get from our parents or guardians is unconditional love. And given the harsh reality of our situation: that we live in a world which is indifferent to our survival, that it will only briefly remember any of our accomplishments, that we are more likely to go on forever struggling with our own mediocrity, we are deserving of that love and it is invaluable. It is something that (as far as we know), our species creates that is unique. And if it chokes us a little bit and if it stunts our growth, then that is acceptable bargain for the brief memories of peace and happiness that it will create for us, which we can carry with us on our long journey to the grave.
I'm not surprised he got these results. While the author raises some valid points there are a lot of flaws with this. He doesn't say what the times are for. Is it the time to DOM ready? To the page completely loaded and rendered? Did he load each site at least once before running the tests to make sure CF's caches were primed?

CloudFlare can make your site faster or slower depending on how you use it and what you're serving through it. Since it's a proxy response times will be higher for dynamic content it needs to fetch (the page itself, unless it's cacheable). Static content (with proper cache headers) will be served through its CDN (everything else) which will almost always be faster, again assuming CF's cache is primed.

The author's finding may be accurate about a base level install of these platforms with no performance improvements. I believe that without proper caching headers CF is going to have to query your server for everything to make sure nothing has changed. Sending proper cache headers with your static files will eliminate this issue and improve your performance. AFAIK none of these platforms use proper caching headers out of the box.

One last nitpick. Why the hell is this article spread across 6 pages? That's incredibly useless, annoying, and takes away from the user experience.

Edit: Originally I called out the author for claiming his site has a PageSpeed score of 97. I did so because the site issues 57 requests, including 8 CSS and 20 JS files, some of which aren't even minified. I assumed there was no way his score could be 97 with these glaring issues. Turns out I was wrong. I tested it[1] and it does have a score of 97, which just goes to show that PageSpeed and YSlow have plenty of their own issues. IMO his site shouldn't have over a 90 based on these obvious and easy to fix flaws.

Huh. That's a really good idea.
Why I Program in Go
I can't find the article, which is a huge shame, but the gist of it was the difference between Asian parenting and American.

Many Asian parents praise their children's effort, rather than the outcome of that effort.

It sounds like your parents did half: Encouraging hard work, and not praising accomplishment, but not giving recognition for the hard work.

If you have kids and find yourself with a similar attitude as your parents, I'd add in that you should praise how hard they worked, regardless of their outcome.

Hope that makes sense...

Also, disclosure: I'm 28, with no kids. Take any parenting advice with a grain of salt :D
> That's a pity. You should not do that.

I agree that is rather harsh. Children most of all need love and affection that is a solid base for everything else to grow on.

The response to avoid excessive pointless praises for every simple task it not constant harshness and lack of affection. There is a balance, but rather it is praise for hard work.

My parents never told me I was gifted or smart instead they always praised my hard work, and taught by example -- for example, never to half-ass a job, always try to do the best you can.

In the end I don't think I am gifted or better than anyone by some genetic fluke or something. However I am persistent and will never give up until I reach my goals.
I hear you but if that were the case, wouldn't the iPad have a Trackpoint? Seems the TrackPoint will always be a niche, like the SpaceOrb - a superior controller, unquestionably, but still the one that lost.

It's identical. The only real change the anime did was to double the pace for the second half due to how much worse it is.

The entire second half was tacked on at the request of the publisher due to how popular the series was, so it's not surprising that it didn't work all that well.
Honest it was just because a rooted TouchSmart is a crappy Android tablet.

But "more particles are high-energy than low-energy" is pretty meaningless. It doesn't explain at all why a system so close to absolute zero would give away energy to boiling water, for example.

Ask HN: What are the biggest limitations of HTML5?
Ubuntu's and Firefox's mobile OS'es are coming soon, and Google's Chrome OS is on the rise (the Chromebook was Amazon's #1 selling laptop). It seems like we should start taking "web apps", or whatever you want to call them, more seriously.

BUT, there are undeniably some serious limitations. I think it's time we start openly discussing these problems, and how they can be addressed.

I do believe that the usage of certain type of language depends from the place and the time. So from my point of view, it's one thing using "fraud" in scientific paper and completely different story using in a community platform. Should I write on my web site, just like I would talk in the court?
I disagree utterly. There's a significant number of people looking for real relationships on OKC -- you just need to find out whether the other person is on the same page as you ASAP (profile, messages, first few dates).

Thanks to OKC I went on several first dates, which led to two exclusive relationships (at different times, of course!), one of which resulted in my marriage. I also found that OKC gives greater flexibility in self-expression and how you discover others.

Online dating is a bit of a numbers game, so I feel that it's poor advice to steer someone away from a dating pool. Maybe adding a pay site to one's online dating efforts (at least for a trial period) would be a better strategy.
LOL two interviews a week.. I do about five to six a week and had three in a single day! My goal is to get four in one day...

When you're growing staff by 100's of percent year over year recruiting has to be one of the most important tasks you can put energy behind. You want the right people on the right teams and you don't want a random non-tech person making the determination.

I see engineers over-worked, up to their ears and always complaining about interviewing. I often wonder, we're in a rational, problem solving industry but we can't see the simplest problems. You're over worked and up to your ears because the team doesn't have enough people on it or the "right people" in it and you're slammed. Does it make more sense to just keep working your backlog or take time to get quality people on the team so you can double your velocity on your next sprint? Why is this so hard for people to see?

You have to kiss a lot of frogs to find the right people for your team. It's a numbers game, perhaps it's hard for programmers to understand that the hiring process is a lot like debugging, most people don't like doing it but if you don't things will break and stay broken.

All this said I do think companies have a hard time figuring out how to balance this. I'm consulting right now with a company that has a very large recruiting team and crazy hiring goals. Meanwhile they were sending a lot of "questionable" candidates to the engineering teams. Engineers were bitching about this to me over lunch in the hallways etc. My response, simple, I swam up stream. I started meeting with the recruiting team, reviewing as many candidates as I can and helping them develop a better process. We're setting goals and measuring our rejection rates and getting feedback on each one even if it went bad. Recently I told them that if we're cutting someone on site to let me do it. I want to meet these people before we cut them to understand what went wrong, did we do something wrong? Did we cut the wrong candidate? I want to give everyone the benefit of doubt and figure out how to improve the process. Could we have avoided wasting their time and ours?

In the OP's case perhaps upstream should have been measured by how many she rejected. They should have been incentivized to improve their own "quality score" instead of burying people on the "well-calibrated interviewer" list.

You can sit there and bitch about something that is broken.. Or you can choose to fix it.. Which will it be!?
Hi Rimpinths, not to hi-jack Ancora's thread, but I'm in KC and would be interested to talk, if you have some time.
Wow, I didn't realize how cheap they had gotten, thanks for pointing that out! I may pick one up just because.
Thanks, that's kind! I am overweight right now too, that photo was when I was lighter (recently) - I lost loads, then gained again partly due to anti-depressants, partly due to feeling there was no point in keeping it off.

I think confidence is a big part, but height is huge. And I don't think I could exude the kind of cockiness that might lead to success, as I am naturally a skeptical person, and a depressive as well which makes that hard anyway.
If I'm intentionally writing a one-line if I will write it on one line. I think using an indented second line without braces is less clear, and more prone to problems later when the code is modified.

So I'd write:

if (max > 0) printf("%s", longest);

or

if (max > 0) {
printf("%s", longest);
}

but never

if (max > 0)
printf("%s", longest);
agreed with the rest, tons of these jobs are in SF. Mobile development is also huge and salary on the rise if thats your thing.
I think the hidden assumption is that "hard work" is also applied to learning not just pure rote doubling of effort to pick twice as many apples in a day. Rather the key is "persistence" and even more saw "persistence in learning".

This can make a huge difference if a breakthrough occurs on a meta-level and eventually you get better at learning, by repeatedly trying to learn something, you learn how to learn better, then learning anything is easier.
How is the quality of results what matters?

When you focus exclusively on the quality of results, you stop growing.

It's not about "effort", so much as the deliberateness in which you go about things. (The word "effort" is weighed down with a number of baggage and connotation). Or to put in different words, how mindful are you as you are doing whatever it is you are doing?
We do have one working for us and this has worked out well. I think you might have a point in your use of the word "targeting" - it raises possibilities of advertising and targetted promotion outside of the normal channels.
It is, but I think it's tough to do well. Google+ implements this thing where you tell it how much of each circle to show, but then you have to do these weights up front.

Ideally system would try to figure out what you like by measuring time spent reading threads, upvotes, link clicks, etc and automatically set those weights for you. This doesn't preclude giving users the options manually setting weights, which could be another useful signal.
beta.playigl.com and www.playigl.com have A records (same IP). playigl.com doesn't have an A record, so it doesn't resolve to anything.

As I understand it, you don't want playigl.com to have a CNAME, because then the MX records wouldn't work. You need to give it an A record, and have the webserver handle it.
Depends on how good that other person is, doesn't it?
