Definitely. A bunch of HFTs even post on Who's Hiring here on HN.

It's a rather diverse industry in terms of the type of developers being sought. People with skills ranged from low level hardware design all the way up to Haskell/Scala are pretty constantly in demand.
I think folks should keep an open mind as to why this works. It works because a 404 page is normally a f@_kup, and here its a gag. Frankly, it still works if you don't know its branson.

It's really a balance - you say the world needs "investors" and not "day traders". By this, I am assuming you mean those who purchase shares using a buy-and-hold strategy as opposed to those who seek to profit off of short term swings.

It's difficult to have one without the other. Day traders and speculators supply the liquidity that enables long-term investors to buy in when they choose to do so. This does improve the efficiency of the markets, as there has to be another side to every trade.

To take it to the extreme: If everyone was a buy-and-hold investor, what would happen? IPOs and infrequent sells from buy-and-holds existing would be the only supply of stock. Would this be efficient? (Note: I'm not asking this as rhetorical question as I actually don't know the answer)

I am not arguing for or against HFT, as I've read both sides (from "they provide liquidity and lower spreads" to "they are akin to parasitic front-runners") and am not sure of where the truth lies. Instead, I'm just arguing against this concept that "day trading" provides no value.

Consider the UK police treatment of demonstrators. It's one of the most brutal in Western Europe, and in many countries the very idea of a practice like kettling brings out images of fascist dictatorships.

I'm Norwegian. In Norway, government officials are often found participating in May day demonstrations, and it's a public holiday. Imagine my shock the first May day I experienced after moving to the UK, with police lining up units on horseback with shields all around and slowly forcing demonstrators into a smaller and smaller space and keeping them their for hours.

How does that fit with Peelian principles to you? It's the kind of method that is pretty much designed to provoke violence and distrust.

Contrary to popular belief, psychiatry is popular in France, with above average usage of antidepressants and anti-anxiety medication.

Hypothesis: French kids have ADHD, it's just managed by the structure provided by their parents. Those kids then grow up and still have ADHD, which is left untreated. Then they may end up on treatments for anxiety and depression instead of more appropriate stimulants.

ADHD is a global phenomenon [1]. Any industrialized population that simply tosses it out in the garbage as an unwelcome Americanism is doing a disservice to themselves.

Certainly my experience is insufficient. I have only dabbled in profiling and performance analysis - enough to prove it can be done but that it can be time-consuming and that sometimes you may have to give up some elegance/purity in favor of performance. However the performance I get from naive code is so good (so far) that I have not yet actually had to delve into it.

I am dubious of Haskell's prospects in large teams but I was completely dubious of Haskell in general (like you) before I had experience in it. Perhaps after experience with large teams I would be more bullish on this point but I haven't had that experience so far. I am quite optimistic about the size of the problem space that a small, skilled team (say 5 developers) could solve with Haskell.
Other than the official documentation, you'll probably have to wait a few days/weeks.
I think it is also hard to be aware that you are in a trend when you are living it. Many of the things that pass as "clean design" at the moment are just a trend, and I promise you that they will look dated soon. This always happens.

The late 1800's is when doctors were first licensed in the US. Before that doctors practiced medicine but were not licensed, yet they were still doctors. Official licensing undoubtedly raises the quality of doctor's practicing medicine, but it is not an inherent quality of being a doctor. In most places, someone is not allowed to practice medicine without a license, but in places without medical licensing, someone who practices medicine without a license is still a doctor.

Engineering is the same. Licensing most likely raises the quality of engineers, but that does not mean an unlicensed person who does the job of an engineer is not an engineer.

Caution: if you are using a single drive you are in danger.

I also recently did a bunch of research on the best way to back up around 500 GB's of data (too expensive for my taste to put on something like S3 and I also needed a NAS). The conclusion I walked away with was that at least two drives and ZFS is a must. Silent drive corruption is a real problem. ZFS takes care of that much more intelligently than any hardware or software RAID and sure as hell better than no redundancy at all.

IMO, the idea setup for a home backup system is two servers with ECC RAM with 2-3 drives each running ZFS and connected over at least a gigabit link. One of these would be the primary NAS server, and the other the backup. All important documents: your Documents folder, tax returns, home videos, pictures of kids, etc. go on the primary server. The backup retains months of copies of the primary server and exposes the files over SMB and AFP as read-only (unless you are all Linux, don't bother with NFS as nothing else supports it properly, even Macs). The backup server also has raw space for system-level backups, such as Time Machine, etc. Basically, space that's not backed up twice.

My current setup is simpler: just one machine with no ECC (this makes me very nervous), with two drives running ZFS in a mirror setup. Since I am treating this array as reliable, I am using it for both primary storage and backup storage, though I will be changing this at some point soon when I get the time/money to build things out a bit. My biggest worry is physically separating primary and backup servers to different locations, at least within the house.

As for software, I use netatalk for AFP (Mac file sharing), Samba for SMB (Windows), and rsnapshot for backups. rsnapshot is particularly nice because it's the least pain in the neck to browse backups. It is similar to Time Machine but FOSS.

Sysadmin here. My experience:

1. Infant mortality. Drives fail after a couple months of use.

2. 3 year mark. This is where fails begin for typical work loads.

3. 4-6 year mark. This is when you can expect the drives that haven't failed earlier to fail. By this point, we're looking at 33% fail.

Interesting that my experiences roughly match up with Chart 1.

My experiences are 10 to 15k SAS drives. Slower moving 7200rpm drives? No idea. Haven't used them in servers in a while. They seem more of a crapshoot to me. SSD's, thus far, are even more of a crapshoot and we don't use them in servers and only hesitantly in desktops/laptops and only Intel.
If you want to take that into account, then go to youtube and search for "Sweden riot", then you get a grip how the population grew, why the crime rates grew and why there are less people in jails while most smaller crimes are unsolved.
> Letting the market allocate resources has a lot of inefficiencies, but it works better than any alternative that has been tried.

I don't think we've ever tried having the market solely allocate resources. I think pretty much every government has regulated trade, collected taxes, that sort of thing. What seems to have worked best would be letting the market allocate resources to some extent, but collecting taxes and investing in long term goals (such as research and infrastructure). But maybe this isn't necessary, maybe in a truly free market there would always be genius entrepreneurs like Elon Musk appearing every now and again to progress humanity. Still, there's a massive difference between the kinds of long term planning that modern western democracies already do and a communist dictatorship.
Ah, that makes a ton of sense. I was thinking in the case of if a hashed database of passwords got leaked. If you know the scheme, you could do this sort of comparison at a login. But, yeah, overly complicated for this scenario, I believe.
Good luck with your plan. My advice on the subject of side programming gigs, is to start now.

I've found, when doing any kind of freelance work, that things generally ramp up slowly and steadily over time through referrals, new leads and whatnot. So if you want to have a reasonable amount of work to do over winter break, start getting out there and finding leads as soon as possible.
The one thing to know about cheap consumer cloud backup solutions like CrashPlan and Backblaze is that they only have one copy of your data. So if their RAID array where your data is stored dies and cannot be rebuilt, it's all gone. You can Google for a few disaster stories about both companies.
At least 2010. I think before that.
Your first point isn't a fallacy to the argument. If they are good enough to to a job there, they're good enough to do a job elsewhere.

Your second point is trivially answered: you let the market decide where they work.

That's not obvious to you because you conflate "provide utility" with "make money". There are lots of things that make money that provide no utility. A large part of the history of business regulation is basically restricting those so people focus on providing utility rather than making money at things that provide zero or negative societal value.

The argument you respond to is basically suggesting that HFT is not generating any value for society. If you want to demonstrate that it's false, you have to show that HFT creates value in line with its costs.
A database with a spreadsheet front-end would be incredibly useful. We would like to try and build something like that.

I think the ideal route might be to grow into that product instead of trying to build it from day one.
The understatement of the year...
Memento is really the best lens through which to view Inception. The former was the more metaphysically mind-fucky, intellectually and emotionally jarring experience. The latter is the more visually spectacular, but shallower variation on a similar theme.

For what it's worth, I enjoyed the idea of Inception a great deal. Part of me really wants to love the movie. But it's hard for me to love it when I've seen Memento do the same thing so much more deftly, with such a smaller budget, given a lot more constraints. Memento is Nolan the filmmaker, and Inception is Nolan the movie director. I enjoy both, and I'm not saying Inception is without its originalities or its merits. But I can't call it a masterpiece; it's disjointed and incoherent in a way that smacks of excess.

I dig your analogy, but I am not sure it's 100% warranted in this case, given that Nolan made both movies. It would be one thing if the Wachowskis both wrote Neuromancer and made The Matrix. But they didn't. They made The Matrix as an action movie that just happened to have some metaphysical underpinnings. They didn't make a philosophical piece that happened to have great action sequences. The movie is pretty clear about where it stands on that spectrum, and most fans who are honest with themselves about why they like the movie will admit they like it for the fight scenes. (As a mental test, replace the computer-simulation plot device with any similar construct: dreams, alternate dimensions, etc. -- and everything else about the movie holds up just fine.)

With Inception, I can't tell where Nolan stands. Is it a thought piece with cool special effects, or a special-effects piece with deep thoughts? As much as we might rush to categorize it as the former, I'm not so sure. Trying to be the latter gets in the way of the former. Nolan tries to have his cake and eat it, too, and he's not entirely successful at either. What results is a beautiful, haunting, provocative, but flawed movie.
Flexible compared to what? Any crud generator that I've worked with creates a better UI than Drupal, is almost completely customizable, and also loads faster.

Drupal is not a good piece of software.
> They are way too emotional for this profession and this results in drama and absolute shit code in production.

So that is where all of the shit code in production (which is the majority) comes from? it's really insidious, because the commits are made using male names. This must have been going on far longer than i imagined, because I've dealt with really old legacy code that is shit.

Since, you made a provable statement, I'm sure we will soon see a tremendous number of papers documenting this coming gynepacalapse of bad code.
I think Drupal was built to be a "content management framework" and not a "content management system". Out of the box, a system like Wordpress is substantially more limiting that a system like Drupal. You see Drupal projects like OpenScholar that are built with Drupal but are highly customized and don't really even look like Drupal. It's certainly possible to build a full-fledged web app with Drupal, whereas CMS systems typically have one core function. You can use Drupal as a CMS, but it does other stuff.

For most CMS use-cases I've come across, I'd rather use Wordpress. It's simpler for most website needs and provides substantially better default UI to editors.

Wow. So ethnocentrism. Much condescent.
Great idea!! Let's think of all the reasons it could hurt someone's feelings.

But here's an interesting fact about being offended: it's a choice, just like most emotional responses.

You can choose not to be offended. That doesn't mean you always should choose that path but most of the time it is the better choice.

If someone cuts you off in traffic on the way to work, you can A) be mad at the person, try to retaliate, and go to work in a bad mood or you can B) forget about it and not waste your emotional energy on a bad driver you will probably never meet.

Choosing to be or not be offended is similar.

Although you are correct in your assertion that Fairchild was basically the "mother" of VC, that does not invalidates the OP's point. Take this example: Do you know any VC firm today that would invest in a company like Apple, ran by a smelly barefoot hippie followed by two other nerds holding some weird circuitry machines?

Mike Markkula did, and that's the classic story of VC as in Venture Capital: He provided critical funding in a very risky business attached to also very specific conditions (part of the funding was a loan, for example), and in exchange he asked for a high return.

What we have today is NOT venture funding: We have funding without risk. And that's the OP's point.

On the other hand, Barcelona is a great place for young people to live.

I know plenty of people here in Barcelona who could earn much more in their home countries, but choose to live in Barcelona for the better quality of life.

A web developer would probably earn twice as much in London (where I'm from) than here in Barcelona, but they would have to spend all the increase on rent to rent a nice apartment. Forget buying in London on a junior- to mid-level salary, but here you could buy a nice apartment in a nice part of the city.

Not to mention the weather, scenery, beach, cheaper restaurants and bars (with better opening hours), lack of violence, and sheer excitement of being in a foreign country.
Is there a breakdown somewhere of two distinct groups of human activities:

Design where correctness is defined as optimizing some metric goal, like designing an electronic circuit for maximum performance at a fixed price, or the strongest bridge pylon for a fixed cost or perhaps for a fixed concrete volume.

vs

Design where correctness is defined as a large group of people trying to imitate each other at an optimum distance as close as possible without introducing legal difficulties with accusations of direct copying and not failing at user interaction much worse than anyone else.

Web design and most software UI is obviously almost entirely in the latter category.

A huge source of disaster and trouble is people using language and attitudes from one category in the other category.

I'm not sure what to google / wikipedia for... this must be well trodden ground after a couple millenia of ladies high fashion clothing design, for example.
Being offended is, I believe, a choice that people make, and I think people should choose to be offended less, not more.
