Yes. Most recommendations for implementing recursion in Haskell that I've seen have amounted to writing it in terms of folds. You gain the benefit of experts vetting the code, and novices being able to understand what it is doing it a glance.

Whether people are adopting VDI as supplemental support for the transition to first-class web/mobile workflow might be interesting during the transition, but the end result is the same.

Making BYOD work means building an enterprise that needs far, far fewer Windows desktop "seats" than they do today.

VDI has a strong value proposition as a solution for those remaining seats, but that number is going to be very, very small compared to what people deal with today.
I see the job of a dev manager (i.e. his direct reports are mostly engineers) as the following:

(1) Filter requests for work to his team to avoid them having to constantly task-switch, with the associated loss of productivity and job satisfaction.

(2) Provide his team with the business context for the work he asks them to do, and trust them to handle details.

(3) Get his team the support they need to do their jobs.

These all involve tradeoffs. If you constantly tell your team every part of every business discussion that takes place as part of (2), you can fail at (1) and distract them from their long term goals and work.

I've worked with managers that didn't protect their team at all, and who constantly forwarded emails and repeated conversations to us until we could barely get anything done before having to switch to a new task. I've also worked with managers who didn't tell anyone anything, and let their reports toil in the dark for months before letting them know that most of their work was wasted.

A good manager will sometimes fall on either side of the line; a bad manager will consistently err to one side. Managers are just like engineers - there are a lot of bad ones, and some good ones, and size of the company is pretty orthogonal.
Given your analogy, it seems to me that if one wants to work for a start-up it would be wise to vet the CEO as much as they should vet any engineer. Naturally, not all CEO's are created equally and not all of them are bound to succeed. However, if one can determine which CEO's are good at problem solving and making good architecture decisions (maybe based on existing business design patterns?), then it is possible to at least narrow down which ones are likely to be more successful, and thus leave you less frustrated.
HAVING specifies a search condition for a group or an aggregate function.

This is the essence of real culture. If a company is "just a thing that you should use (to pay bills and advance your career) while there are common interests" then I have no interest in loyalty.

I have worked for a couple companies that are more than just mutual interest, and I feel very lucky for it. This highlights the value of establishing that true culture. So many companies completely misunderstand this type of culture.
I'm not sure what your source is, but I did find a similar statement from Iribe:

Oh come now, surely you can't be this ignorant of the way any company (of almost ANY size) works? Take Microsoft as an example: For the last decade, they've been the prototypical example of a dysfunctional company flailing around, and yet you'd have to be a complete fool to think that that suggests anything about how talented their engineers are (all the ones I've met have been exceedingly so). Ignoring all the layers between the intelligence of rank-and-file employee and the output of a corporation with ~50,000 employees and tying the two together is honestly just stupid. You even alluded to this with "(as an org)".

You're also hopping the goalposts around a bunch between revenue, success, and some subjective measure of "quality", but Android has over a billion activations, Chrome has three-quarters of a billion active users, GMail has 600+ million active users...again, one would have to be a complete fool (or a recent immigrant from Mars) to think that "only GoogleX and AdWords have had success".

By the way, in case you're planning to move the goalposts again to focus on only revenue, if you can't understand the concept of a product having monetary value without directly being a source of revenue, then I'm honestly just in awe of how little you understand how any of the industry works.

The IRS is not limited to the technical realities of Bitcoin in coming up with explanations for how it interacts with the tax laws of the United States. "Individual coins cannot be traced on the blockchain" doesn't affect their operations in an iota. The IRS is well-adapted to environments where there does not exist a single public record of every transaction, principally because that is pretty novel.

If the IRS believes that people are misreporting bases in such a manner as to meaningfully affect their tax obligations via using Coinbase, all they have to do is send Coinbase a letter.

Morbius: Thank you for accepting atleast 50% of my theory was wrong...may be u r conceding that 50% might be right.That's good enough for me.

Here's where I got it almost right: "2.Plane was on autopilot there after ,nobody complained since nobody was alive.Fell silent into the ocean and rests there"
The plane according to most was found near indian ocean some 2000 kms...it flew on autopilot for 7 hours.

>>Disintegration should have left debris. There was none.
Debris is found some 2500 kms away..now resting in the ocean.

Boeing is being sued by one law firm today:"4.I dont know why boeing company is not talking about this much, they just are silent ....the biggest benefactor if pilot theory is right is boeing.Boeing benefits alot if its pilot error which caused the incident."

>> No "consipracy theory here" its indeed looking more like mechanical failure and the pilots died due to depressurization...boeing should own responsibility.

I might be wrong abt 787 , it was too much stretch to bring two 787 and 777 together but they are from the same company, that is my point,boeing needs to own some responsibility for this kind of failure either mechanical or design failure. They have put an off switch for ACARS?..why did they have off switch in the first place? Is it not design failure?

Finally they have only 2 hours of recording of cockpit in blackbox for an international flight which might be flying 7 hours...?Explain that design failure...how can they only have 2 hour recording...even kid will tell 2 hours is not enough for 250 million price tag.
Agree. I've been in both types of companies.

It's certainly true of some companies; they'll drop you without thought, you're only a number, etc. etc.

It's an honor system, the same as for other non-tracked property. You sell bitcoin, you pay capital gains taxes to pay for gov't infrastructure and services provided to you (the things they give in exchange for taxes). You get robbed of your bitcoin, if the gov't has no reason to suspect otherwise they trust you when you claim a capital loss to pay less tax.
My favourite kind of tech hater, which I am one of, is the "Your application of technology creates more problems than it solves" hater.

This type of hater rails against new technologies that have no realized advantage over old analog/interpersonal systems besides appearing more high-tech (and thus making the user appear to be 'in tune' with the times).

Ever seen a AV presentation room decked out with the state of the art of 2004-5? Shit like ceiling lights, projector screens and projectors, and sound systems that can only be controlled from a piece of shit pre-iPad tablet PC that takes 5 minutes to get turned on and another 5 minutes to work... when simple mechanical switches on the wall near the door would have worked just fine.

This sort of tech is characterized by taking a system or process that worked perfectly fine and reliably without a computer/software, and adding unreliable computers and software that don't actually give you any new useful capabilities.

The "IntelliLink" South Park episode does a great job of representing and mocking the sort of tech that I am talking about.
To overprint a whole line using 0x08, you'd need one 0x08 for each character in the line. So an N-character line overprinted that way would take N3 characters in memory.

Python tries to make it easier to avoid pitfalls. In contrast to PHP or Perl, Python believes that

Even something like significant whitespace forces everyone to format their code similarly.

That's not to say an incompetent programmer can't write horrible code in Python, just that Python tries to make it easier to do the right thing than the wrong thing.
Sure, but consider how this works in ReQL:

> One might question why all control codes in the ASCII character set have low values, but the DEL control code has value 127. This is, because this specific character was defined for deleting data on paper tapes. Most paper tapes in that time used 7 holes to code the data. The value 127 represents a binary pattern were all seven bits are high, so when using the DEL character on an existing paper tape, all holes are punched and existing data is erased.

I love this, it shows just how old the roots of ASCII are.

It kind of works with standard unix tools.

cut -d$'\37' -f ...
sort -t$'\37' -k ...
join -t$'\37' ...

Those will parse ASCII-31-separated fields. But records are still newline separated, no way to change that AFAIK, short of running everything through

tr '\036' '\n'

first. Which defeats the purpose of choosing "weird" delimiters in the first place.

(Also note that the $'\..' syntax is bash-specific and doesn't exist in POSIX sh.)

"To tax Bitcoin as property, he says, destroys its fungibility: One Bitcoin can no longer be exchanged for another."

I think that is false. From what I understand you only get taxed when you realize the value of bitcoin, such as purchasing something with it.
It's a very hard job, and not everyone is up to the task. Good management is very hard to find, and that's true of any position. It's hard to find good engineers too.

If they're still small enough, grabbing coffee and having a meetup with the founders is very practical.

C-v-shift-_ and C-v-shift-^ both work for me.

They print a little strangely, but if you were really dedicated to the idea, you could alias the tools you use to use these by default for their input and output separators.
They can iterate. But also, they were working within some tight legislative constraints (eg $1m cap IIRC) and when you look at the public comments a lot of them 'how will you guard against grifters' and the like. I was pretty depressed by how vapid most of the comments were, incidentally...I feel bad for whoever was required to sit down and read and classify them all.
Interestingly, Apache Hive uses control characters for column and collection delimiters by default. I commend them for that decision.

The major issue I've had with wp is the speed. I don't know if it's a php problem or a wp problem, but running wp on shit-tier commodity hardware results in a complete inability for your site to be {hn'd/slashdotted/dugg/whatever} due to the ~500ms page generation times (that only increase with any plugins at all). The caching plugins mostly resolve this, but still not well enough to be accessible during a wave of pageviews.

It seems like unless you're willing to pay for managed wp hosting (or fancy hardware), you can't expect more than 10 pageviews/s to be handled. This makes me sad.
One Haskell resource leak I've encountered a couple of times has to do with opening large numbers of files combined with non-strict semantics. By default Haskell will open IO handles but not consume them until the contents are needed, and thus, not close them. To read the contents of many files in a directory, the result is opening thousands of concurrent file handles and exhausting the OS's IO handle pool. The solution is to add strictness annotations to force evaluation and relinquish the handles, which isn't fun and isn't pretty.

> well-written plugins for every function

This is what I think the main problem is. There are so many plugins and many (most?) are poorly written. Since most users don't know how to code beyond maybe some html/css, they just search for the functionality and install whatever matches. That can typically land you with a WP site running 10+ plugins, each with their own security / bug liabilities.

WP is fine by itself and there are lots of good plugins but like anything user managed, it gets blamed regardless of what's causing the problem.
At first the worst thing about haters is that often they have fake arguments. I believe that in general if you don't like something, you can either ignore it or at least use some kind of constructive criticism, so sometimes it is really annoying when you see that the criticism has serious flaws.

But recently I started to appreciate the value of lemming haters: who is not able to understand when to use or not a technology regardless of what other thinks, is destined to be a loser in engineering. Engineering is a matter of braveness, you trust your judgment, so you are able to do great things instead to follow the common opinions. So, what happens is that lemming haters create a filter for lame people from entering into a community, which in the long term can be a blessing.

I am glad to see an Elixir app on HN! Elixir is a great language I have been enjoying messing with in my spare time. It's far below a 1.0 release but its syntax is delightful and it's been a good excuse to get familiar with BEAM and OTP as I know nothing of Erlang.

So quality of the app aside (I haven't looked) everyone should give Elixir a go.
The reference client doesn't even provide a way to choose specific bitcoins to use when sending a payment. And even if it did, do they really expect users to keep track of every single address in their wallet and the date of acquisition of its individual bitcoins?

As it currently stands, if your client decides to spend a bitcoin from an address you owned for less than a year, any gains would be taxed as ordinary income.
Pick databases have used record marks, attribute marks, value marks, sub-value marks, and sometimes sub-sub-value marks in ASCII 251-255 since the late 1960s. Like the control characters this blog post recommends, the biggest obstacle for Pick developers working on modern terminals is how on Earth to enter or display these characters. There's also the question of how to work with them in environments that strip out non-printable characters.

This isn't some clever new discovery. It's begging us to repeat the same mistakes that led to the world adopting printable ASCII delimiters in the first place.
