Surprisingly not worth it for many, most of these coaches have seven figure salaries and are employed for years or even move on to the higher pay in the NBA, they wouldn't want to jeopardize that.

Plus some of the higher paid coaches wouldn't go along with it because it's too risky. Use Duke's coach as an outlier, he earns $7 million a year and has been with the team for thirty years, good luck getting him to risk that career for twice his annual salary.
Great, i landed in the middle of nowhere in Oklahoma.

That source control integration is definitely not 'mature'. It's terrible. Forgetting that TFS is just awful to begin, the integration in VS is lacklustre and based around very poorly thought out identi-lists and identi-tables that it's hard to extract any information out of. Simple things like getting a list of changed files in a build is several clicks and barely readable when you do find it. You get lost on what screen you're in cause they all look exactly the same. You're never sure exactly what you're committing and it also likes to throw some obscure warning which 90% of the time means nothing, 10% of the time is a repo or commit killer.

Even something as basic as Tortoise SVN is a massive workflow improvement over trying to use TFS.

And test integration got vaguely good in this VS maybe? I wouldn't call it good or mature. Maybe it was 2012, they happened so fast I barely used 2012. I remember trying to use it in 2010 and clicking on failed tests wouldn't take you to the failing line or the failing test, it would do bizarre things like expand an info pane that didn't actually have the info you needed. It was such a complete failure that they totally ditched it in VS 2013 and had a whole new UI.

And don't get me started on the god awful profiler they've added, what a disaster.

Half the things they add in VS suck, but are better than nothing.
Python's `__dict__` is probably a better example of duplicating Haskell's `derive Show` behavior.
Really? You think? Gosh. If only this were /. & I could award you +1 for being so insightful.

@OP: sad story. I am a little surprised, a little disappointed, and sad that it's only a little.
You have faithfully channeled John Yoo, articulating the case for U.S. military action directed solely by the president, wherever and whenever he perceives a threat to Americans or American interests. It's bizarre to me that the failures of the Bush administration seem to have done little to damp the enthusiasm for this kind of thinking. You'll note, for example, the growing calls from various government officials to add drug cartels to the official list of terrorist organizations. Presumably to justify increased militarization of the War on Drugs.

I actually like John Yoo. I disagree with him, but I find no fault with those who don't. But I think it would be intellectually honest for you to admit that you've aligned yourself with a very contentious neo-conservative strain of political philosophy.

To be clear, I don't pretend to have any good answers here. I think I agree with you about trials in absentia. I don't agree that handing all the keys to whomever occupies the oval office is the best solution.
I have no idea what you're talking about. :-)
I'm not sure why he needs to be on TV in the first place. His job is to prosecute whatever crimes happen to be occurring in his district. Instead, he cherry picks those that will make headlines in order to further his career. He is in the news vastly more often than any of his counterparts in other jurisdictions have ever been in the history of the DOJ. In short, he is abusing his office for personal gain.
awesome! ;)
I can't remember the last time I actually noticed a username, or assumed a user was one gender or another.
Awesome, like I said, very cool idea! I love what you've got right now and I definitely think you're on the right track.
McDonalds or Cracker Barrel ought to get in on this at a corporate level.
It feels slightly horrible to admit it, but I'd probably try to be more encouraging/nicer to someone who posted something I disagree with if I thought that person was very young, new to the topic, female, or other underrepresented group. The "female" part is probably specific to tech; if it were a forum with equal gender distribution (biotech, or say fans of a tv show or something), I wouldn't.

OTOH, I'd also be similarly polite to a respected person, particularly from outside the field, who posted something wrong. e.g. if a regulator or most VCs said something fundamentally incorrect, I'd politely try to counter it, but I'd back off rapidly unless the disagreement were really core.

All of this is without specific information about the person; there are specific counterexamples. e.g. if pmarca were the VC who said something "wrong", I don't think "back off to be polite" would be useful or necessary; however, he's probably also less often wrong about things.
Yeah, the common implications of the word "test" have always been problematic. The BDD movement did a good job bringing that to light, but I didn't want to re-litigate that all in my post just to make a point about semantics. Totally agree, though.
Surely he'd also be indictable on fraud charges ... though it wouldn't surprise me if he has a lawyer who's made some way for him to wriggle out without making it a fraud.

As an early HN user I secured the username "amanda" before promptly ditching it after 2 weeks. While I don't hide that I am female in my bio, I have also found that the style of interactions changed significantly when I changed my username. Figuring out how to leave the kid-gloves off in real life has been a bigger challenge.
how is one supposed to read that blog!
You're right, of course; it's not the 2001 AUMF that specifies al Qaeda by name, but rather the 2012 NDAA.

The 2001 AUMF authorized force against people and organizations "he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons". Which is al Qaeda and the Taliban, but yes, not by name!

And yes, of course, the 2001 AUMF is awful.

But to 'nate_meurer's point: the President does not have the authority to kill people simply because he has determined that they are terrorists. Nor does he consistently have the authority to kill people that are determined to be in al Qaeda; for instance, if they're on American soil and not actively engaging in violence, Holder has testified under oath that their killing would be unconstitutional.

The author has a really high opinion of commenters on hacker news. I don't really think it's that high quality. There are all kinds of weird conspiracy theorists, uncritical guffaws and just plain obnoxious toxic commentary. I think it was pretty high quality about one thousand days ago[1], but it isn't anymore. And yes this is a new account, but I'm not new.

Solution: Use SSL with extended verification (I think it's called that). This will let your app ensure that it is talking to the correct server, and not an impersonator.
That is arguable. All else being equal it might be true, but all else is not equal. The benefit of never having your compiler enter an infinite loop may not be worth the cost in terms of lost expressive power.
OMG not this again. This has to be the most overinflated topic in tech. Just do your thing, if you're good, nobody cares what sex you are, if you're bad, don't use your sex as an excuse.
Good initiative! Just a heads up that server push does not seem to be implemented.

Server push is one of the spec items that got much wanted clarifications in SPDY3 and would be awesome to see nginx support that. Apache mod_spdy, jetty and netty do have it.

Server push makes it handy to provide super low latencies for full page loading by pushing out all the files that "server thinks" browser might need for a page without waiting for the requests.

Server push is not a magic bullet, it can take more bandwidth compared to the regular visit with a browser that has required resources (images, css, js etc) cached. But still better than inlining in html because the resources from server push can be cached.

If you care more about page loading speed (especially for first-time visitors) and less about actual bandwidth consumed, SPDY with server push can be great. Hint: deciding on whether visitor might benefit from "a little push" as a fresh visitor could be done with a cookie existence check or smth similar.
By amateur I was imagining ~1500. If in chess circles "amateur" means "anyone other than a master/grandmaster", then my statement as written is probably false!
Yep. Other than 1 or 2 people who often post extremely relevant and thoughtful comments and articles; I never "follow" anyone on HN.
yes - exactly - most of us use gender agnostic language, rather than he/she usage, it is preferred to use they. this takes away any gender identity, except where specifically called out for gender specific topics.

this whole thing about how women are treated is utterly dumb. am I male or female? Who can tell, does it matter, does it change anything about this comment? Of course not. gender agnostic language begets gender nondiscrimination.

Yes. A sports team in one of the major American sports leagues.

Just to clarify a bit, C++ and Objective were not written in the C pre-processor, but rather implemented as their own pre-processor program, analogous to Qt's moc.
He's not channeling John Yoo. The President is acting under the express authorization of Congress, which authorization could be withdrawn, and with it the President's ability to drone strike people simply because they are on hostile soil working with al Qaeda. John Yoo's view of the authority of the "unitary executive" is far more expansive.

Of course, what you're actually doing here is invoking a bugbear (John Yoo is also notorious for conjuring quasi-legal justifications for abhorrent interrogation policies, including torture) to avoid engaging with what 'rayiner is actually saying.
Lots of those, too. My random view put me on the North Slope Haul Road in Alaska. Even more strange, there was a second Google car in the picture!

This sounds very much like Buffet, but I doubt Buffett's being paid directly for it (He protects his image and reputation very carefully and wouldn't sell it out for any amount), just his insurance company for the premium.

It sounds like he just came up with the idea for fun.
I think it's more about the character of the person than the gender.
If the chance of anyone winning is y and the prize is x, you can pay the insurer (x*y)+z dollars to pay out the x dollars in the event that someone wins. I'm sure z is probably tied to x in some way, but just know that z is the money that turns into the insurer's revenue in the long run.

You're basically paying the expected value(cost?) of the prize, plus a fee to the person who's insuring you. That way a billion dollar contest will not actually cost you a billion dollars, even in the event that someone wins.

Weird, I wonder what percent of HN users are actually looking at a user name when posting a reply, I personally don't even read a username of a person who I reply to, never mind looking for any male/female meanings in it.

But because you posted this sort of comment I actually read your username for the first time :)
I once needed help on a project I was working on (building a lithium iron battery pack out of 18560 cells) and posted as DIYGirl. Got a ton of responses in a relatively less-traversed tech-heavy sub-reddit. If you explicitly state you are female people will treat you different.
"I'll pay you $1 million now. If anybody wins the prize, you're on the hook to give them the other $999 million. If nobody wins the prize, you get to keep the $1 million."

edit: And where I say $1 million, do some hand waving with the odds and figure out a number on which both parties agree
Thats great. I have been waiting for this since Firefox and Chrome stated that spdy will no longer be supported on next versions.

As a guy, I get pretty sick of it. I've noticed the "kiddie gloves" effect for a long time on HN and so I tend to just stay out of those threads altogether. I've found that if I disagree or critique a woman a thousand misguided defenders swoop in, presumably in some attempt to be chivalrous.

Guys, give it a rest and treat women the same as you would men. They don't want or need special treatment.
while a gray area it is still legal. It's only illegal when the courts say it is, so de-facto it's legal. That's a pretty basic property of the US democratic system.

My point is that only looking at those that are successful is missing most of the data on people they should have funded. Assessing this is really hard, but they shouldn't fool themselves into thinking they have all the data.
I believe that when people complain about "lack of stack allocation" in Java they sometimes mean "lack of value/non-reference types," which in other languages (at least C#) are frequently but not always stored on the stack.

I couldn't agree more. I'm glad the OP took the time to write this up, as I've been thinking something very similar recently. In fact, as recently as earlier today, I saw some comment about bootstrapping that hinted at this "bootstrapping == small" thing.

Sorry, but that's just wrong. TFA here nails it... going the bootstrap route doesn't mean you don't intend to build a billion dollar business, it just means that, if you do, you plan to do it on your schedule, not a VC's. That's it.

FWIW, we're proudly bootstrapped / self-funded at Fogbeam Labs, and anybody who knows me can tell you that I don't do small dreams. As far as I'm concerned, we're on our way to being a public company with a multi-billion dollar market cap. I can't tell you when we'll get there, but that's the goal.

Now, that said... I don't think "bootstrapped" or "not bootstrapped" is something that's intrinsic and unchangeable. We haven't taken any outside money yet, but I'm not saying we never will. We might do it tomorrow if the circumstances dictate that it's the right thing to do, relative to our goals. Or maybe next year. Maybe never. Outside money is just a tool, like a screwdriver or an Open Source library... we may need that particular tool, we may not. If we do, we'll use it. If not, we won't use it just for the sake of using it.
The USAFE/USAREUR driving test is way more difficult than any test in the states. But still far easier than the tests the Germans themselves have to pass.

The priority road concept, with unmarked intersections, is one that wouldn't work all that well in the US.
Since you're not building the same thing every time, you don't have wholesale proven and tested solutions for everything. The engineering part is going about filling the gaps systematically, and figuring out what parts require closer inspection in the first place.

In my opinion, this last part is the art, figuring out what to do when you tread a new path. A good engineer will find the critical parts, but that relies on as much intuition as process. A really good engineer will find the meta-mistakes in the process.

The decision to "swing it" can be an engineering decision. If I am doing something I did before, and all the parts fit, I can swing it, and forego a tedious process. I have to balance the risk of implementation delays and bugs vs. spending time on simulation and paperwork.

It's also perfectly possible to do everything by the book and still fail, if the process is a bad fit, or you run out of time because you're all caught up in following procedure instead of taking common sense shortcuts.

So either swinging it or doing it by the book can be engineering or idiocy, depending entirely on the situation, and, in retrospect, the outcome.
"if you're good, nobody cares what sex you are..."

Part of the reason this is such a hot topic right now is because the above statement is not at all true. It is certainly applicable for some, but not enough to claim true equality in the system.

1. Hacker News usernames became a blur of random characters quite some time ago. I don't know how I'd begin to tell what gender you all are, and it never enters my mind. 2. I really don't think there are that many people who care whether you're carrying the batter or the oven. 3. I don't know how to say this nicely, but you - not your gender, but you the individual - are sort of known to be a little sensitive to this, in a way that comes off a bit attention seeking. If you feel this is your message to bring, then great. More power to you, really. Just saying, this seems like one of your things.
If you can't adapt your workflow to work around the current shortcomings of Julia as a language, it's perfectly reasonable to complain about that. What is frustrating people in this thread is that you are implying that because automatic recompilation of dependent functions isn't implemented (in a language that is not yet production quality nor represented as such), the authors must be mentally deficient. You are receiving a vocal response not because we want to sweep Julia's shortcomings under the rug, but because we know that Julia's authors are quite intelligent people and we disagree that the absence of this feature at this time reflects poorly on them. I hope that, once Julia reaches v1.0 and has proper recompilation of dependent functions, you'll give it another shot.

There are established behaviors people exhibit towards males who are good or bad. The author is noting that people tend to treat women differently, period.
From a previous article of the same author: http://theorangeduck.com/page/c-preprocessor-turing-complete

> This is a fairly clear distinction and a compelling argument. Clearly there are languages where you can effectively express unbounded recursion function() { function() } and the C preprocessor is not one of them.

>* But there are a number of subtleties going on here. For example, if we consider the set of macros I created to be the "machinery", and the "language" to be the Brainfuck input to my system, then it is indeed Turing complete. That is - I have created machinery which can simulate Turing complete languages. Taking all the above definitions into account, consider how odd it is that Turing complete machinery can be expressed in a non Turing complete language.*

And from the “Brainfuck interpreter written in the C preprocessor”: https://github.com/orangeduck/CPP_COMPLETE

> Currently the maximum recursion depth is set to around 1000 and the data array size around 100. These can be easily extended but for now, as a general rule of thumb computations exceeding 1000 steps may not run.

Here is the problem. We can consider the one-step-interpreter: it’s a function that has as arguments a program, the current instruction index and the whole memory state, and this function computes the next instruction index and the next whole memory state. This one-step-interpreter is primitive recursive.
He put that function inside a bounded loop, which is also implementable as a primitive recursive function.

So essentially he created an interpreter that runs a program for at most a fixed number of steps, where this number is an argument of the function (or worse, in this case a constant). Interpreter(Program, Memory, MaxSteps) is a recursive primitive function. To be Turing complete, he needs to write InterpreterForEverIfNecesary(Program, Memory).

With a fixed MaXSteps value, it can’t compute all recursive primitive function.
any better now?

It keeps coming up because it's a real problem.
I don't think an upset free bracket has ever happened. Some of that is because of the first round match ups; 7 plays 10 and 8 plays 9, and if the seeds are good, those games are toss ups.
I don't even look at peoples' handles when I reply to them. I suspect a lot us are similar to me in that regard. Also, are men just attracted to women in general, site unseen?
YES. Women in tech would probably be treated more equally if they talked about ANYTHING other than being a woman. These types of posts do a serious disservice to women.

Show me a woman who has actually accomplished something of merit who also writes about gender inequality. Complaining about inequality is just an excuse for not producing anything of value.
