Can you cite some overwhelmingly negative comments that pcwalton has made towards Go? I always cringe whenever I see him comment in a Go-related thread, because I know how people will interpret any criticism of Go that comes directly from a Rust dev, whether or not the criticism itself mentions Rust. That said, pcwalton has seemed even-keeled every time that I've seen him comment.

I ask because I'm the moderator of the Rust subreddit, and I have a strict rule against bashing other languages there. Not even Rust devs are exempt, though thankfully this has never been a problem. I'd like to encourage a culture of respect, rather than letting us get bogged down in holy wars. The constant comparisons of Go and Rust that I see on HN and the like are quite dismaying in my eyes.

> This kind of categorization perhaps wouldn't fly in the States

I see this as a bit of a paradox in the States. There is always some discussion about how everyone should be treated as equal, yet your "race" (whatever that means in the age of genetics!) is recorded by the government, and minorities are tracked by employers even though this is absolutely not related with their skills. If i think too much about it, I'd call it madness.
I wouldn't be surprised to see the Soylent guys come out with a solid food version for this and other reasons.
It certainly seems like it could be handy to have those flags, especially in a labor-based job. From a safety perspective, I'd think it is a win if people are immediately aware that person X has a disability. Then they find out what it is, and act accordingly...

As a question, how do you rate Team foundation server?
First of all: you don't have to automate the entire workforce in order to have devastating unemployment, inequality and poverty. Every automated job means one fewer job on the market and one more unemployed person competing with everyone else for a job. You don't need self-diagnosing and self-repairing machines to wipe out entire classes of jobs. Retail, fast food and delivery/freight are huge examples of job categories that are coming perilously close to total automation.

Secondly: automation, like blackhat hackers, never gets less sophisticated. When a problem is solved by automation it stays solved. The sum total of the capability of all automation in the world increases monotonically over time. Human capability, on the other hand, tends not to increase at all.
It's also interesting to think about the points mentioned in PG's "Being Popular" [1]. I think the most important one is "to have a system to hack". Emacs lisp is popular because of Emacs, Javascript is popular because of the web, and how about Haskell?

I barely made it through this article. After the 10th minute of pushing through my tears to read, I had to resolve that nothing would stop me.

On HN we dream big. And we all agree that we can dream big and maybe hit it big. Imagine what it feels like to realize at a young age that you DONT get to go after your dreams because you are missing the tools. Imagine what it feels like to believe something is wrong with you because you talk to yourself sometimes. Now get back to starting your company.

And yet, you can be happy to commute, to have co workers, to have some freedom from our parents.
Not necessarily. Individual expression of TAS2Rs is genetically determined and varies considerably[1]; and so the perceived bitterness of sinigrin-containing vegetables like cabbage (B. oleracea) differs from person to person [2,3].

Its incredible to think that Fortran is alive and actually improving! Browsing the wikipedia article(I've not yet dived in too deeply) you find features like easy concurrency that one would expect in Go being added to a language whose closeness to C-like syntax enters uncanny valley.

I've found that people who don't cook regularly often overestimate how difficult it is to cook at home. Sure you can go big and cook extravagant meals that take loads of prep time and cook time, but you can also saute some fish filets and some vegetables in 20 minutes start to finish - and most of that time you're still free to do other things around the house.

Of course this advice might not apply in a 400 sq. ft. NYC studio without two burners and room for two pans, but for most people that's not the issue.
> the Rust crew has decided that they need to aggressively
> attack Go

As the one person in the world who is perhaps most up-to-date on what the "Rust crew" is doing in the community at-large, I can definitively state that this characterization is untrue, though I'm dismayed that you have somehow gotten that impression. All of the people that I've seen who bash Go while praising Rust are completely random internet commentators with no connection to the Rust community. If you can find me examples of Rust community members aggressively attacking Go, I will gladly ban those users from both the Rust subreddit and the official Rust IRC channel.
One thing struck me as being kind of strange. It seems the customer wanted to hide the fact the camera was digital. To what end?
You're focusing on hiring discrimination, but the article's focusing on spending money to increase "upstream" tech interest in under-represented groups. That's because hiring discrimination isn't really the issue; upstream interest (and thus upstream qualification) is.

If non-Jewish White people are underrepresented among successful tech founders, does that not represent an upstream issue?
Dunno man, everyone tells me I have an awesome hat ;)

E. Scalable supply. You can do all 4 at a point on the supply curve for blueberries for instance... But there's not enough production to feed a significant percent of the population.
I have a strong sense that online work - on CrowdFlower, Mechanical Turk, or Elance - could be the path forward for someone like Jaime. Please do note: I work for CrowdFlower.

The beauty of online work is its promise of operating as a meritocracy. Access to the labor market is not about who you know, or how you appear, but about your ability to perform. Everything about Jaime, from his diligence to his incredible cataloguing memory, struck me as a perfect fit for the type of work that's readily available online: data collection, cleaning and labeling.

Even better, this type of work is going to become a larger and larger part of labor market as the machine learning field grows and the need for clean training data grows along with it.

I wonder if San Francisco would still work for things like this.
Here's one of them:

"The only waste product from silicon power stations would be large amounts of solid silicon-dioxide “ash” but this could be recycled back to the smelters to be reduced to silicon again."

So, if ash is a 'waste product' then it cannot be produced with 100% efficiency as the 'non-waste' is the goal of the process and not the 'waste' itself. Also, if you take that 'waste' and 'recycle it back to smelters', another round of inefficiency is introduced (as no physical process is 100% efficient).

Is there something wrong with that reasoning?

Hispanics mentioned 4 times in this thread as of 10:23pm MST. Asian's mentioned 18 times...

Everyone talks Black (27 mentions) and White (82 mentions).... meanwhile Hispanic and Asian ethic groups race higher and higher in total number. [1] In raw numbers, Hispanics are growing far faster than any ethnic group in the US. Companies in this game for the long haul had better recognize that Hispanics will be the dominant ethnic group in relatively short order.[2]

But who are the Hispanics? Better figure it out. It matters now and will increasingly matter much more going forward.

I'm fortunate to have my grandfather's writings of his time in World War II: http://86thchemical.us/Site/Bills_Memories.html

Back in college I spent a semester in France and during the weekends I tried to partially retrace his steps during the war. I went to Normandy and photographed the graves of the seven men from his unit buried there and I visited the bridge over the Rhine he helped capture—my family has the Nazi flag that flew over the Bridge at Remagen, which he removed and replaced with the American flag.

He never talked much about his time in the war but he did write it down.
Two strong mechanisms for staying ahead here.

(1) Watch the licensing process. Want to release a phone in Europe/US? You need to have the electronics licensed first.

(2) Want to release a phone in large numbers via a major carrier's retail operation? Watch their carrier pre-approval process (in the US this is months long).
Having used both extensively, Perforce workflow is just a lot easier for a layperson to understand. Add files to changelist, move files between changelists, remove file from changelist, check it in. It has a nice GUI and command line tools. With git you have staged files vs commited files, commit vs push, multiple commits and the need to rebase, difficulty of removing a file from the commit before push, not to mention lack of a good built in visual merge solution tool and stuff like detached head state. Git also has a more complex command line, and multiple UI choices, none of which are great. I love git and it is my vcs of choice, but just because we know, love, and understand it doesn't mean intern Katie from the art team is going to feel the same way.

Soylent launched with claims of being a total meal replacement.

People mentioned all of the existing similar products.

Soylent supporters said that those products are only supplements, and you could if you wanted live on mothing but Soylent. (Those people are wrong about the other products - you can live on some of them).

Now some Soylent supporters are saying "of course you wouldn't live on it. It's just for supplemental use." In which case, what advantages does Soylent have over all the other products?

Other products come in a range of flavours; you can get unflavoured versions; you can get savoury versions; you can get formulations designed for naso-gastric feeding and, importantly, they've got many dietitians and registered nutritionists working with them. (I realise that Soylent have nutritionists now.)

There are plenty of products available to you today that you could use tha do mot taste like pancake batter. They're not particularly pleasant.
Around late 1990s and early 2000s, right when the internet started getting into people's homes with Mozilla web browser and IE, I noticed many memoirs that were put up by the old veterans themselves. I spent much time reading through them.

Sadly many of those memoirs are not around anymore as their accounts were shutdown or the web hosting company itself went out of business.

I fear much history is being lost in the transition from pen/paper era to digital era.
very touching young story - I bet this kid is a lot of fun to work with. The fact that he was on time every day for 6 months probably whips all the other employees into shape from an HR perspective. "If this kid can be on time and take the bus, then so can you."
I totally agree about the sadness that must accompany realizing you are "missing the tools" to follow your dreams.

A wonderfully written account by his father, one which makes me hope I can be continually thankful for the gifts bestowed upon me going forward.

Agreed. I have long held that there's no good reason to use Ipsum, since you're effectively saying, "I don't care about the part of the design that involves the look, character, and meaning of my text." I've found it much better to write out my own rough version of whatever I expect the content of the text to be, and refine it as I tweak the layout and gradually hone in on a reified design. I find it deepens the harmony between visual and linguistic communication.

I feel that the Tag is the most simple kind of taxonomy, I mean there is absolutely no business ideas in them, they are just there so you can tag multiple things with different keywords. The playlist on the other hand since it inherits from tag I could potentially add some features to it, like only a certain group of user can access certain playlists.

In terms of the significance to end user, being able to put different types of taxonomy into different "named" groups help people visualize them differently, I feel. People think of tags differently from playlists. Hence if you try out the filters on the posts page of our site, you can only view one playlist at a time, but you can activate multiple tags at once.

I hope that helps.
I bet the number of days they had to turn over the keys was very low (~48hrs), hence the ability to get the commits at the last minute before the deadline but still do a proper release process and building binaries for each platform.

I have always wanted to record an interview my grandpa on his military experience, and I did. I was not smart and didn't record the interview.

What is your experience with recruiters like? I'm about to move to a new city and got hooked up with a recruiter through a friend. He seems very well connected and professional but I'm a little nervous about putting my job prospects in his hands. Anything I should be wary of?

The question was about precise control over memory allocations. Arc hides it like other forms of GC. You can tread carefully to avoid pauses with GC, but it is more fragile than explicitly manual mem management.
Ref counting does pause, you get cascading deallocations. More deterministic than other GC though.

If your trying to build a site that will allow you to sell digital goods, you are going to have problems if you use a static site.

With writefully the idea is you get real business objects you can build business intelligence into. So for example I only want users who buy a piece of content to be able to view it, I can do that with associations or some sort of logic to detect who bought what. It's difficult to do that sort of thing with static sites.
