Windsurfing also requires stronger winds. ~13/14 knots is enough to kite and jump around, and I think you need 3/4 knots to windsurf comfortably.
The data might be very complex, the algorithms too, but the code itself probably has much less branches, corner cases, ifs, and other PM-added mess).

Being able to do complex stuff with less mess sounds like a big win to me. Current users of FP in industry tend to be in the financial sector(though a quick check of haskell in industry shows several CAD users too).

Though I have to agree with you, I haven't seen a really convincing case study yet. For me at least it has wiggled its eyebrows and said look over there convincingly enough for me to take a look.

> Edit: I meant to note that the reason the specification hasn't been updated, afaik, is because it doesn't have to be updated. All the tools you need to add the features you require are there in the spec. You can make it into the language you need.

That's a big part of the reason I haven't used CL for anything bigger than some toy projects.

It's a crusty, old language, and instead of keeping up with the times, everybody has to build the features they need. I can do that, or I can use language that has the features I need and that I don't have to assemble myself.

And to make it worse, it's hard to even use libraries that solve the problem, because nobody in the CL community can agree on anything. There's always a dozen incompatible solutions, and it's never clear which one should be used.
Ooops, that was a typo, thanks for catching it!
I should have been more clear: I meant that just as engineers are optimizing the risk/reward ratio for themselves and their interests, lawyers are likewise balancing risk and reward and optimizing for their interests. Often those interests overlap with those of their client/employer -- but at times they don't, as you underline.

My only point what that good lawyers probably use the same process. Good engineers aren't the only ones with strong logic skills.
Incredible Timelapse-like Aging Animation Made from Family Portraits
I think Conan's "act as if" advice unknowingly points to a whole field of research that claims that your actions and ideas are reciprocally linked. That is, if your idea of yourself is that you're confident, you'll act like it. Conversely, if you act like you're confident, your mind will develop the belief that you are truly confident. A great book that discusses this topic is Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman.
It doesn't seem like th author has a very clear grasp of what 64-bit word sizes actually allow over 32 bit. Here's a hint - not much. Sure, eventually more ram and more registers (which is very important but not really inherent to 64 bit as far as I know). It seems like the author thinks 64 bit magically makes things run faster or easier to develop for - neither of these are true except in the very small minority of circumstances.

I'll leave with this: Nintendo came out with a 64 bit game console ~15 years ago at half the cost of the iPhone. This is not ground breaking stuff.
It would be high time for some capable & easy to use IO instrumentation in Linux. This (vmstat) has been the state of the art for ~ 20 years and you often long for something better. Not to mention it's pretty inaccurate sometimes - reports these huge bursts of IO between periods of idleness even though the disk is munching constantly. Especially with write loads.

My ideal tool would let me switch a knob to turn on io profiling and then would let me drill down into the trace, show what processes caused the io, was the io like (contiguous vs seek heavy, fsyncs, etc). A second need is report what kind of io a process incurred during its runtime, a bit like "time".

I guess much like "perf" now but for io.

For all I know all the kernel pieces are there already. We do have some newer tools like iotop/iostat that are small steps forward. But it's pretty quiet.

The cost of shipping a phone by plane is insignificant because they're booking so much capacity. This isn't like FedExing one phone from your house to a friend. This is a whole other scale. They probably only pay a couple of bucks and they save way more than that by not having to stockpile these phones anywhere, with heavy security to keep them from "leaking", for weeks on end.

environment without racism being a significant factor

You demonstrate my point. I approach every sacred cow as though we should skip the emotionalism and let the facts lead where they will. You view the issue as being inextricable from the politics and emotion. You can't even begin to try to approach the subject without politicking and spinning, such as calling the linked article "racism" when it's really just a study that gives us some possibly interesting data points.

Hence, discussion is fairly pointless - as I was pointing out to the previous poster.

I am having nightmares if the future is hundreds of arm cores on workstation class systems. I'd rather have a couple big x86_64 cores which are "just there and work" without having to deal with all kinds of scary things.

Also I think it's funny how people fall for this 64bit marketing bs. It's like back in the days of AMD Athlon64 when people though everything it's faster just because of 64 bits.

I am interested in the new Atom generation too, which seems really promising.
I agree that Apple has helped to promote LLVM/CLANG, but I'd rather give the credit to the Unix community as a whole.

Counsyl - South San Francisco, CA

Counsyl is a medical genomics startup in South San Francisco, California. Our goal is to make the human genome practically useful for life-altering decisions.

We invented the Counsyl Test, a breakthrough diagnostic intended for parents planning to start a family. It was featured in the New York Times, named one of Scientific American’s Top 10 World Changing Ideas, and won the Wall Street Journal Innovation Award for Medicine. Our test is now being used for 12% of all carrier screens in the United States.

The cost of sequencing human genomes is plunging - over 5x faster than the cost of computing; the potential impact on preventive healthcare and the medical landscape is boundless. The science is there but the scale isn’t.
That’s where Counsyl comes in. We are building the technology platform to make genomics useful and accessible to everyone.

The vast majority of our operations are powered by our own custom-built infrastructure on a Python/Django/Postgres stack, from ordering to lab processing to billing. We’re building new tools, new workflows, and new infrastructure to solve the challenging problems of a technology startup involved with not just bits, but also interconnected physical components like lab robotics and patient samples.

We're hiring:

Software Engineers (https://www.counsyl.com/jobs/software-engineer/)
Web Developers (https://www.counsyl.com/jobs/software-engineer-web-dev/)

And many more positions at http://jobs.counsyl.com
One clarification: Rust's concurrency primitives aren't based on shared-memory data structures, because that leaves you vulnerable to data races and can require either a stop-the-world or concurrent GC. Instead it makes use of linear types to keep track of ownership between tasks, which is more restrictive but also means that sending data between any two tasks is memory-safe and never more expensive than the cost of copying a pointer.
If it were GPL (without an explicit exception), they wouldn't have been able to embed it in Safari, without distributing Safari under GPL or something compatible with GPL.

KHTML was also pretty sweet already, before WebKit was born, but it lacked the polish ... e.g. web pages weren't rendering properly because KHTML was adhering to standards, whereas Mozilla was adding IExplorer features to make web pages look nice (remember, this was back when "works best in IExplorer" was still the norm). Fortunately for all of us, Mozilla decided against implementing ActiveX (it's a pity that people don't remember these things when speaking of PNaCl or Dart).

Unfortunately, WebKit has become in a lot of ways the new IExplorer on mobiles (at least this time it's driven by standards and it's open-source). I hope Mozilla can bring some balance.
I got a Chromebook at Google I/O this past year and really wanted to love it. I'm currently using a Macbook Air and most of my work is writing code (vagrant, virtualbox, vim, browser).

Obviously, I couldn't use the Chromebook. I had hoped I could put Linux on it but that proved to be more hassle than it was worth (only doable in development mode).

Then I thought my wife could use it. She primarily uses a computer for email, facebook and blackboard (LMS). It would work great for that.

But you know what else she uses? Skype. To talk to her mom.

Dead in the water for the both of us.

Yes stealing. Really!

Utter nonsense. Opinions like these only come from people who don't understand business, have never run one and never risked their own capital, effort and health launching one.

Nonsense.

It's just like reading a physical newspaper without paying for it and, at the same time, having some kind of a machine that blacks out all of the advertising. Stealing. Plain and simple.

Businesses cost money to run. Advertising is an age-old method to make money. And for some businesses that's the best way to support their operations.

Look at Google [0]. It costs TEN BILLION DOLLARS TO RUN GOOGLE FOR JUST THREE MONTHS. TEN FUCKING BILLION. And you would use Google with an ad blocker? How dare you!

Take it to an extreme: Starting tomorrow everyone in the world uses ad blockers. The internet would collapse overnight.

Either pay for the service or allow the ads. Yes sir! You are stealing.

How to Think Like a Data Scientist
Ask Technical Recruiters of HN: Where to add value?
I'm a student, but I want to support another venture of mine by doing some recruiting.

Where are the best places to extract value?

- Sell 'consulting' to companies, helping them set up events and get presence on campus, and know who they should be trying to hire

- Work like a regular recruiter and get the x$k fee for each each successful hire

- Sell to the recruiters themselves - sell them services that make it a bit easier for them to do their jobs.

Where's the best point to add and capture value?

Prefrontal cortex is still developing through our early twenties. Mitigating the effects of emotional responses takes work, just like any other discipline. That work grows synapses and it's the reason mental health therapies change connectivity patterns in the brain. Leaving the word 'emotion' out (which some here seem to have strong reactions to), self-regulation is well-understood.

Edit: Got rid of a sentence that wasn't really part of their model.
Right. I did not think I was stating anything grand here. I was simply pointing out that "imperative" mixed with "mutable" state is not something that is hard for users to grasp. Especially when limited in scope to single threads of action. The hard part comes in making sure this "type checks." That is, if you had it dependently typed such that you could not "add_into( &pot, contents );" until after you had "add_into( &pot, waterfactory() );" than you could conceivably catch more bugs.

The trick, to me, is that the "type" of "pot" is not fixed in this. Since I consider the "type" to be dependent on its state. I know this can be done with generic and higher order programming, but usually not with the same reference. That is, each call would create a new reference to pot such that the next one fed off of that. Thing is, that doesn't read well. (I mean, it does for toy examples, but doesn't for long ones.)

Make sense?
What You Should Know About Electronic Gates 
Breckenridge fence and gate companies install four common kinds of electronic gates: cantilever, slide, swing, and vertical lift. Cantilever gates slide, but don’t use a ground track. Instead, the gate is suspended above the ground. It’s quieter than a sliding gate with a track and is great for slopes. However, Denver fence companies caution that cantilever gates don’t do well in windy conditions, and require a lot of space beyond the gateway.

Tracked sliding gates need embedded rails the width of the gateway for bottom gate wheels. They work better in high wind situations, but require clean tracks for optimum operation. Denver fence companies install swing gates that open like a regular door and usually swing in, so they need dedicated space for opening. Vertical lift gates rise from a horizontal to a vertical position to allow access. Breckenridge fence and gate professionals, Strategic Fence and Wall Company, install a variety of styles and colors.
FoundationDB (https://foundationdb.com) provides optimistic transactions-- the client does reads from a consistent snapshot, and then tells the database what it wants to write and what serializable reads it did, and the database figures out whether the transaction can safely commit or whether it needs to be retried.

Beastmaster is just a client that sits on top of FoundationDB's transactions and fault tolerance, and adds coordination-specific things like a global clock, fair locks with timeouts, and a data model for service discovery. And then provides useful command line tools and a simple DNS and REST server. We should have it on github soon.
I think you're right. There might be a fun/playful way to do it, like "when you're done, come help save the boobies"... But I'm not sure I can get it quite right.

According to Murphy's law, in one way or another, sensitive information will leak. When this happens you'll need to show that you did your best to avoid it. Lawyers can be more expensive than programmers therefore it is probably better to save on lawyers than on programmers.
Hi there, where did you receive your advanced degree in psychology, education and/or psychiatry?

Recursive descent parsers are linear in the size of the input, but they're also linear in the nesting depth of the grammar, unlike e.g. PDAs or operator precedence parsers, which is why they're a poor choice for things like math expressions.

And performance is not just time, but also space.

There are niches for most parsing algorithms, but PEGs are a poor fit for most tasks except lightweight ad-hoc use, especially implementation languages for which tool support is poor.

Just to make sure you don't misunderstand me. I don't have any affiliation with McKinsey, I just think it's a bit odd to dismiss a firm with a pretty solid reputation out of hand without much evidence.

I don't think anyone asks of McKinsey that they should be entrepreneurs, or even risk takers. I don't see how risk mitigation is irrelevant to startups. You'll find little about risk mitigation in 'Starting Up' though. It's more about how you can describe your business in a standard way so you and your investors can reason about it more easily. If that's something you want I'll leave up to you.

I don't think you should follow the book to the letter, I just think it's a good little book. There's no stories in it that promise golden showers, none that stuck in my mind anyway.

Isn't the whole idea of risk taking to promise yourself golden showers based on an assumptions based revenue model (or none at all), like webvan did?

I agree with you that it's a good idea to take advice from entrepreneurs themselves though, that's also why Bubbleconf makes an effort to get founders to speak at the conference (and not consultants :P).

(btw, I work for a company that coorganizes Bubbleconf, but I'm a part of the organisation of the conf this year, just a helping hand)

After handling lots of contracts back and forth, my experience is that you avoid adding new conditions to a contract for a large company if you can, but you had better remove anything that you don't intend to actually comply with. As an independent contractor, I've had companies remove the insurance requirement, non-solicitation, any unusual IP ownership clauses, etc. and never lost a contract yet. I especially watch for clauses that affect my ability to do my normal business with other companies after this work is complete and anything that puts a weird reporting burden on myself. You'd be surprised what's hidden in the company's contract boilerplate text that even the company lawyers forgot about.

My overall goal when doing this is to ensure that when the work is done, the customer signs off and the checks stop coming, that I don't owe them anything more.
The apology was also removed.

With the NSA committing industrial espionage and able to do insider trading in order to fund its operations off the books I am sure they can also most generously "donate" money to Universities.
