Ask HN: QA Cascade?
How do you guys handle a case during the quality assurance phase of a project, where one bug cascades into many issues? For example, a Javascript error that causes several functions around it not to run, thus breaking several features?

There's no good way for QA to know that they're all from the same root cause, so we end up losing a lot of time to the administrative overhead of say, 5 tickets, when as a developer I know it should only be one?

I'll speak for the late 20's Crowd (although I just turned 30..)
No one in my age group, that I know, watches sports at home.
If they do, they go to the bar to do it.

ESports are MUCH more interesting for at-home watching.
It's possibly because the Go libraries are much newer, although age didn't help OpenSSL in this case.
No need to apologize. I know you were just writing what you needed to write...expressing your disagreement with the decision 'dang made. My post was just an excuse to write (and think since writing is thinking) and these are good activities and perhaps you were to some degree even writing simply to get better at writing.

Of course I may be just projecting what I do, and anyway this response is largely driven by my need to think.

Your post fell into the form of argument because that's sort of what the internet trains us to do. It's the path of least resistance when we want an excuse to write another post after the one we are currently writing. It's the primary game of internet fora.

One of the observations of 'dang and PG before him was that a problem which is particularly salient in political threads is people arguing rabidly when they agree...and those 'arguments' turning heated and nasty. In other words the comments devolve to look like the rest of the internet. That's sort of the reason why the Idea thread was problematic: the conversation could have been happening anywhere. There were none of the elements that make HN HN.

And that's just what I used the opportunity provided by the reply button under your post to write because I felt like writing, i.e. I was just indulging my thinking habit...and working to improve my writing in more or less a free writing exercise with writing as the topic.

Youtube has streaming. Also probably a bit different target audience and market. Plus, it's likely that they'll just make the sadfucked G+ a requirement and be done with it, no mucking with what works.
I live in Kirkland (a suburb of Seattle). Paying Comcast $50/month for "Blast Plus" which is 50 mbps + TV, while it's ~$69 for just 50mbps internet. Both are "promo rates" (aka call the retention dpt. once they run out and you'll get them for another year).
It's both Google trying to force web sites to help their algorithm and spammy sites trying to exploit the current algorithm that are causing these annoyances.

I suspect neither would be a major issue if Google modernized their algorithm to take into account (mostly/only) which links people actually clicked on rather than what is linked from where. They'd only have to be able to distinguish people from click-bots, which might be easier to do with some confidence than recognizing the intent behind a particular link (spam/SEO or real information for visitors) - I hope they are already able to do this, for the sake of AdWords customers ...
I know of some Twitch streamers who migrated to Twitch entirely and stopped using YouTube because of what it had turned into.
Where will they go to now?
A lot of people are saying this is a bad move because insert reason that contradicts YouTube's existence. But consider Tumblr's sale to Yahoo! and nothing changed. Google bought YouTube when Google has 1% of the internet traffic. YouTube already had 6% [2006] (and is the worlds most popular site per unique visitors).

To be honest, I'm surprised MSFT didn't try to buy them first.
The result is that the best young people, who should go into science, sensibly refuse to do so, and the graduate schools are filled with weak American students and with foreigners lured by the American student visa.

Not quite true, but what I have noticed is that, at the graduate-school level, there's a very low correlation between the quality of the program and the students.

If you go to a top-5 PhD program, you'll be surprised by how many of these supposedly "best in the generation" people just aren't that good. Many are, and the talented outnumber the talentless, but you'd expect there to be zero talentless schmucks at the top programs, and it just ain't so. This is where the OP's perception that PhD programs are "full of weak students" probably comes from; the fact that even top PhD programs can't keep the schmucks out. It's not hard, even for a total mediocrity, for a 22-year-old packing socioeconomic advantages, and already coming from an elite college, to appear smart.

Drop down to the #10 or #20 or even #35 department, and the talent distribution isn't much different. The difference, in raw intelligence, between the students isn't that strong. There are some really good students and some terrible ones, at any of them. The change is barely perceptible. You wouldn't be able to tell the difference except by the reputation of their advisors.

If you go in to a top school and expect its students to be the best of the best, you'll be disappointed when only 75-85% of them are halfway intelligent, and you might conclude that the #30 school has no intelligent students. In fact, it has almost as many. There are probably 20-100 times as many people (probably 3-5% of the general population) with the talent for academia as actually put themselves anywhere near contention for the positions.

What we now have, and it's not new, is evidence of a sorting system that doesn't really work. We can't sort talent from well-positioned mediocrity (read: socioeconomic status) before college, we certainly can't do it in college, and we don't do it for graduate school (George W. Bush is a Harvard Business School graduate). At all levels, we do a terrible job. We're actually talent-rich as a society, because we've had the smartest people coming here for generations. We just haven't a clue what to do with it.

No. I have not paid for TV since I move out of my parents house 4 years ago. I have 0 plans to purchase TV ever in my life.

Even for sports, there are numerous online streams (though illegal) that I will make use of to keep up with critical games like the NBA playoffs.

Other than that the content on TV is garbage, and all the good content I can pirate easily or watch on Hulu/Netflix.

They're dismissive of your comments because you don't understand that most OS systems programming realistically has to be done in C.

If you want to create a library like OpenSSL that every consumer in every language can use, C is your only practical choice.
Wow - what an amazing ride to acquisition. To think it all started when Justin strapped a camera to his head! Congrats guys!
This looks cool but I couldn't imagine putting a development concept through someone I don't know's server.
The Squid codebase had a custom malloc in it for a while for some operating systems, but on systems with competent malloc it used the OS implementation. I doubt that malloc remains today (I believe Squid has been somewhat rewritten in C++, with a more modern approach to memory allocation, since I was working on it).

There was a time about 15 years ago, when many UNIX variants had sub-optimal malloc, or other core libraries, and custom implementations were common in large Open Source projects (as well as commercial products). Those operating systems are mostly gone (Solaris remains, kinda, and there's still some big iron running those old beasts), but I haven't seen a newish project using a custom malloc or other core library in years. I couldn't name the projects that made that choice back then, but I remember seeing it very frequently, when I used to read a lot more C source than I do, today.
Wow, that is actually really cool.

I remember seeing ad's for this camera when it came up, but never actually saw a picture from it until recently. I really love that weird tech like this existed.
Stop it. You're being purposely obtuse if you're trying to equate freedom as the freedom to do crazy and nonsensical things versus freedom as a sense of liberty for people to access information, resources or services (regardless of if it's in the context of the Internet or public roads).

Your argument is in the same vein as people who try to win the debate over if we have freedom of speech or not by saying we don't because we can't yell "fire!" in a crowded movie theater. Context is everything; you can't just ignore it conveniently because you're trying to save an argument that you made under a misinterpretation. Why do we have the 1st Amendment? Because the founders wanted to preserve the ability for people to make politically averse opinions in opposition to those in power, not because the founders wanted people to be to somehow able defy the laws of the natural world.

People are fighting for a free and open Internet, because it has value in being able to quick access to important and useful information without restriction, not because of some super-literal definition of "freedom" or because we want it for 0 dollars and 0 cents.
US set to decide on crucial net neutrality rules
Quality doesnt seem to be that much different from the first ever digital camera, the cromemco cyclops (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cromemco_CYCLOPS). Judged by the few examples that can be found via Google images, that is.

Incidentally, that camera used rather interesting technology. Its sensor was a regular CMOS ram chip with the opaque cover replaced by a transparent one. Bits would flip back from 1 to 0 due to the light projected onto it.
It also ignores the subsidies being provided.
That's great. For Melbourne, Australia komoot is offering sensible bike paths that google maps never does.

They switched to LED bulbs instead of the CFL's. You probably want this one. The smaller screw type: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20254091/
Their infrastructure is good enough, they're able to stream to 180k+ viewers in HD without problems.
Buffering and delays got worse with the launch of PS4 streaming, they're not just due to tournaments. It is true that tournaments are a 'worst case' for them.
what if these are in fact two separate problems? then perhaps it is simpler to solve them with separate tools instead of conflating them.

What you've described is very much the classic "curse of being gifted". Breaking out of the curse is really quite hard and I think there's really two ways to go about it.

1) Give up, just be a normal, non-gifted person. Do normal non-gifted people stuff and enjoy life.

2) Realize that you're smart, and if you're so smart, figure out a way out. For any problem you have, use your smarts to figure it out. Figure out how to study, how to motivate yourself, use your gifts on yourself. Then once you've figured yourself out, turn your new skills outward and use your gifts properly.

It sounds obvious, but people "cursed" with being gifted don't often realize they have the single gift they can use to get themselves out of their mess. Instead they simply coast on it like a ship adrift at sea rather than using it as a ship of exploration that can take them anywhere.
If Youtube screws this up and drives away the users, there will likely be an alternative that rises. That's how Twitch got so big, so it might be able to happen again.

Unless your blog has some good traffic, it will probably take long time to reach 50 subscribers. It makes sense to spend your time writing more/better blog posts instead of engineering your blog.

Also, not all blogs are wordpress. I have two blogs. One of them is on medium and the other is custom written by me. I could use this app on the custom written one.

The people who say "get an antenna" must have never seen a mountain or high-rise building before. Television signals require line of sight and if you're unlucky enough to have a sizable obstruction between you and the transmission tower then you're out of luck.

This race is rigged. Even if the streaming providers win the telecoms will just jack up the prices on their bandwidth when net neutrality is killed completely, which I don't think is an avoidable situation at this point.
That is exactly my point though - the way to maximize profits is to provide a social good in addition to your excellent product.

Most startup ideas sorta suck. Doesn't mean they won't be lucrative.
Presently, yes. However, it does not have the same long-term potential as Twitch. Snapchat is ephemeral, a trend.
It's a little scary for me that the source of available package is a wiki page which is editable by anyone with a GitHub account.
The presumption here is that you can correctly identify a startup idea that sucks. Here's a quick experiment you can do right now to see if that is true. Try to think of at least one startup that you cannot understand why it is getting traction, press, funding etc. I'm willing to bet you can think of several (I can even think of a couple companies that have actually gone IPO that I still think are dumb ideas).

The fact that you think an idea is dumb is irrelevant. The only opinion that matters are those of the customers. Instead of telling your friend that their idea sucks, ask them what their (potential) customers think of the idea. If she doesn't know, and you really feel like being helpful, push her to get meaningful feedback from a couple customers.

Having a real life customer tell a would-be founder that their idea sucks is so much more impactful than the same feedback from a random friend. Plus, there is the added benefit of saving your relationship.
Exactly. It's about owning the market and removing a potential competitor who saps money from YouTube.

It's a smart move for Google.
Here's an idea: Google buys Twitch and shuts it down. Thus making people go directly to YouTube to stream.

But something more realistic is they buy Twitch and then integrate it into YouTube so everyone has to use YouTube to stream everything. Smart.

This is what I came to point out. Sure farm to table should help us be more diverse in our food selection but the ABSOLUTELY gobsmackingly large subsidies the farmers throughout the Midwest and west are given to grow soy and corn is the main reason we haven't seen a massive change yet. I also highly doubt that 80% of American shoppers care about sustainability when buying grosicies, but all I have to back that up is experience not actually science.
It looks like Jmat is using the series expansion (about zero) for Re(z)^2 < (Re(n)+1)/10, with z the argument and n the order. They switch to the asymptotic form for larger arguments, but they're only using the first term.

To improve accuracy, they could truncate the large order expansion when the terms start growing or drop below precision. See the wonderful DLMF S10.17 (http://dlmf.nist.gov/10.17) for the higher order terms.

Note that this expansion will not perform well for large order, and they should switch to one of the series in order instead. Olver's uniform expansion is lovely, but a bit tedious to implement.
What about Internet time (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swatch_Internet_Time)?
It's interesting that YouTube is acquiring Twitch and not Google. I realize that's sort of a smallish point, but it's interesting how that might be announced officially. Google obviously owns YouTube, but in terms of branding and identity and control, it's interesting.
Nobody wants advice that starts off by making them feel like a fool.
Why not arrow up? That's what I use and it is very natural.
Here in France both twitch and youtube are both unusable if you're using some providers like Free.

For Python 3, I've added optional type checking based on function annotations and decorators to the Ensure library: https://github.com/kislyuk/ensure#enforcing-function-annotat....

@ensure_annotations
def f(x: int, y: float) -> float:
return x+y

f(1, 2.3)
>>> 3.3
f(1, 2)
>>> ensure.EnsureError: Argument y to <function f at 0x109b7c710> does not match annotation type <class 'float'>

I think it works better than other approaches mentioned here because it (1) doesn't repeat the contents of the function signature, (2) doesn't install any magic system-wide hooks (and the attendant performance issues), and (3) is completely optional.
$69 for internet is the full price, not the promo teaser rate. The promo rate is $34 (see linked image). I don't know if you can get the promo rate if you aren't a new customer though.

You seem to have missed what she's saying. She is say 'EVERY SINGLE CROSSFIT GYM' does high-rep heavy weights for time, which is a bad idea. Doing squats or snatches as fast as you can is a recipe for disaster, and this high-speed high-rep style IS crossfit, and ALL crossfit gyms do it, and that's why she says this. It's not about 'some gyms don't care about form'.
I'd never heard of it so I didn't dig too deep but it seems like a VOD site, not a streaming platform. On the homepage there are zero live channels and nothing mentioned about live broadcasting, only VODs. Had you suggested something like MLG.tv or Azubu, actual Twitch competitors, I don't think you would have been down voted.
Sure, there are a lot of companies that initially sounded like bad ideas. But there are ideas that aren't just bad; they aren't thought through.

I hear dozens of people tell me about an idea and it's apparent that there's no chance they will succeed with this. A lot of time they're trying to enter a market they know nothing about (as this article described), for example finance students trying to do a clean-tech startup. Other times, it's the market opportunity. These ideas that suck so badly are just people who haven't been around startups to realize how to think about them. They're the kind of people who I wonder if they've ever read The Lean Startup, PG's blog, or any of the commonly-accepted startup wisdom.

To my understanding, this isn't correct. Storing anti-matter isn't really that hard. The Tevatron would store anti-protons in the recycler for hours, and I'm sure if it was important we could engineer much more efficient mechanisms.

No, the hard part is creating the anti-matter in the first place and then cooling it down to a reasonable temperature at which it can be stored. All of our mechanisms for creating anti-matter generate anti-particles traveling at fantastic, highly relativistic speeds (and also consume much, much more energy to create then they contain in mass energy). Cooling them down without loosing them all to annihilation is very difficult. But once they're cool, it's not so bad.
