The code for Twik has a simple AST in it. Of course, it's Lisp, so it's perhaps too simple.

Erlang would not really fit the systems level programming model. Erlang runs on a VM the BEAM (Bogdan/Björn's Erlang Abstract Machine). Erlang is primarily design for back-end services to other systems. If you want a multi-node redundant system and need to do message passing to handle state and concurrency then Erlang fits that bill.

I think the blub paradox applies to everyone. Unless you spend time using a feature in earnest, it is easy to convince yourself that it's not valuable. Do you have reason to disagree?
Hmmm interesting - do you recommend I use the same key for github, my personal server, some work servers, etc?
It would be nice to see the strongest of the various Apache contenders represented here too. Once upon a time, there was just ActiveMQ to worry about:

http://activemq.apache.org/

It's long been very popular, and has all the flexibility and enterprisey goodness you could want, but has not had a reputation for speed. However, i believe there was a release a year or two ago that significantly improved performance. I vaguely remember this being based on an infusion of technology from the Qpid project, which itself has a broker:

http://qpid.apache.org/components/java-broker/index.html

Or maybe that was what led to Apollo, which is the faster, more reliable successor to ActiveMQ, but which hasn't, er, succeeded ActiveMQ:

http://activemq.apache.org/apollo/

Or maybe i just imagined the link to Qpid.

I'm fairly hazy on how these bits of software relate, and i can't promise you there aren't more somewhere in the vast Apache mansion. Even figuring that out would be useful, never mind the benchmarks!

Really... so the hundreds of thousands innocent users that was not doing any crimes?
What about them?

This just proves that the current authorized domain system is not working, and its the beginning of the end.
so, I would say that the easiest solution here is tab completion. Suitably modern bash-completion should expand entries in ~/.ssh/config (as well as ~/.ssh/known_hosts if its not hashed).

Host hosta.mycompany.com

and then type "ssh hosta<tab>" :)
Also, if you consider the user-to-engineer ratio of Whatsapp, it's theoretically the most productive language for distributed systems.
I never said that concurrency was the only problem with large applications. I never even meant to imply it.

For example, one of the big problems is circular dependencies. Go solves this by explicitly prohibiting it - your dependencies must form a directed acyclic graph. You therefore have to work out a solution the moment you would want to introduce a circular dependency. You can't introduce even the first one. That means that you can never build up the kind of nightmarish hairball that large projects often turn into.

Is it painful to have to prevent circular dependencies all along the line? Certainly. But it prevents more pain later.

Now: Do I know that functional programming, map/filter/reduce, and avoiding mutation cause problems at scale? No, I don't. On the other hand, I doubt many projects have been built using FP at this scale, so one can't assert that FP will scale this far.
Congrats on the recent round, guys :-)
Any list of 'SSH tricks' should contain: 'ssh -D 2001 user@host.com'. This creates a SOCKS proxy on localhost:2001 that goes through host.com. For example, I use a digital ocean instance hosted in the US to tunnel through, so that I can watch hulu (I'm from Europe).
That sort of thing is easily available for any reputable charity: http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary...

Looks like administrative costs are about 10% of overhead (fundraising is a net positive, so I wouldn't hold it against them).

The rich and poor in Liberia are the same race. The rich and poor in the USA have a strong racial component, and its politically correct to act racist as long as you don't speak racist. So saying the (insert color) man cannot participate in our white man's economy isn't going to fly, but applying that same attitude toward poor people who just coincidentally happen to be people of color is perfectly OK.

Its the same deal with disinterest in the prison industrial complex. 1/4 of all black men in or have been in prison, well... lots of people not seeing a problem with that. If the demographics inside and outside prison were (at least racially) identical, lots of people would have a problem with "the system" as it is. But as long as its a Black problem... no problemo (if you're not Black, anyway)

Think mint.com for medical records. Literally. We help patients find their patient portals. We credential them in (just like mint) with username and password, providing a tool that pulls their data out. We normalize it and display in a meaningful way. Then we go back to the hacky solution of automating e-faxing back out to keep other doctors in the loop.

It's definitely nuts that this would be the solution, but I don't think we can wait for HIEs or for someone to get data access/sharing agreements for exactly the reason you state. Every player is jealously guarding their data.

You're right that we don't get the complete record, but whats in there is actually pretty rich.
Does anyone read man pages anymore? This is all well documented in the ssh, sshd, and ssh_config man pages...
> I would not be surprised if, due to the disparity in the overall wealth of the two places, homeless people in New York skewed much more into the latter group than homeless people in Liberia.

I would. Mainly because Liberia, from 1989 to 1996, was in the middle of a civil war that claimed the lives of 200,000 and displaced millions more into refugee camps. Liberia has been the center of coup and counter-coup and counter-counter-coup since 1980. I would be extraordinarily surprised if the incidence of PTSD and disabilities from trauma were lower there than they are here.

And given that neither USA nor Liberia have significant mental health facilities for those without the means to obtain it (we just dump them in jail), I doubt the incidence of other mental illness, as a percentage of population, are any different.
Was just following the style seen by quite a few other posters to make it easier to scan[1]. The links go directly to the listing, so not much more I can do there.

Unfortunately, HN won't let me delete/edit it to take your suggestions into account.

If you're willing to branch out beyond physical sports, Marion Tinsley [1] is perhaps even stronger, losing only 7 games in his 45-year career of checkers.

I think the important bit the article was trying to press is really, more [citation needed] less stereotype. "I would not be surprised" is your assumption of the situation, either way it's worth exploring and researching.

You also touch on another important topic, which is mental health is also sorely needed for many people. It is very expensive, not widely available and essential to those who are suffering with those type of illnesses. Especially if they do not realize it.

Perhaps new, but filtered to exclude certain sites that get a lot of attention here anyway.
"It hinges on a gut-level judgment about what sort of universe we inhabit."

The thing is, I don't think a gut-level judgment is the best course of action here. Similarly, I don't make gut-level judgments about whether I believe in gravity, or whether I believe in evolution. In my mind, the nature of the universe falls squarely under "science."
Race can correlate strongly to culture. Culture can get you put in prison. Its more complicated than 'black and white'
But one would expect the opportunity available in a worn-torn country to be lower as well.

It is an interesting scenario that they play out in Toronto. However, this is a programmatic feature built into the traffic systems - and in the current location I live in completely different.

Here the countdown hits zero well before the lights shift to yellow and finally red. Perhaps Toronto needs to readjust if there is a high number of rear-ends occurring due to drivers going off of the pedestrian control devices instead of vehicle control devices.
There are also lots of legitimate uses for a SOCKS proxy, such as sshing to a useful machine in a corp network and using something like FoxyProxy to direct *.intranet sites via the SOCKS proxy.
It's not all about fricken video piracy :)
Go is not even suitable for soft real-time systems, because for that you need a GC that never stops the world - right now Go is even less suitable than Java in this regard, because at least for Java you've got the pauseless GC from Azul Systems.

This is an inadequate analysis. I am writing a soft real-time system in Go, and GC pause simply isn't an issue for me. Go allows one to greatly limit the reliance on GC. The GC in Go certainly places an ultimate limit to the memory footprint of any one Go process, but a whole lot of productive work can be done within such limits.

Also, my program is a rewrite of one in Clojure, so it ran on the JVM. Go is giving me better performance for my particular application. Also given that Go is just starting out in its development, I expect there to be some improvement in the future.
Having different variables under the same name, especially when we have to keep track of which is which (different values in different contexts, defined by indentation) does not sound like a good idea to me.

For example, here's a problem I had in C when I used a local variable with the same name as a global variable:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19214293/unable-to-modify...

You're saying: "immutable things tends to be easier to reason about because names do not change what they refer to within a context"
Can you please provide an example of that? Maybe some code where this 'feature' is useful? Your example of let x = 3 in print ((let x = 4 in x) + x) shows what you mean, but it does not show why would I want to do that.

Thank you very much for your effort to help me understand.
That's an incredibly small and relatively inconsequential market.
I can second that. Having interviewed a number of SaaS vendors as part of the customer development work we've been doing at StartHQ (https://starthq.com) it became apparent that some vendors are seeing as many as 60% of their sign ups using Google OAuth.
Our incredible journey!
"Given that the Gnome foundation ran out of money because they diverted donations to women's outreach, rather than focusing on the core mission of programming"

This is, shockingly, incorrect:

1) The GNOME Foundation did not run out of money.
2) The reason for the financial issues was not that money from donations was diverted to women's outreach - instead, corporate donations that were intended specifically for OPW were not received before outgoings to students were due. Money from existing reserves was used to cover the shortfall, most of which has now been made up as the original donations have been received.
3) The GNOME Foundation's charter does not define a core mission of programming. One of its roles is to promote development of the GNOME platform, and recruiting developers from a pool that's been largely ignored by the free software community is an excellent way to do that.

That's three fundamental factual errors in 25 words.
So in your opinion is the bureaucracy actively oppressing the poor? Or just being intentionally incompetent? Because I'm not sure that you really answer this question "why the system picked them to be the bored masses", either.
Thank you for this comment. I came here just to ask what others experienced. I love these buttons (all hail confirmation bias). It would be great to hear from other peoples experiences whether their users use oauth or not.
This is how I got my first programming job. I spent two days writing a simple project with the employer's technology of choice and they were impressed. Demonstrating that you can get something done puts you ahead of most other candidates.

For the first one you can figure it out based on the text before it. But I agree, it annoyed me too.
FWIW, I think it can be helpful to discover features of tools in smaller chunks, in the context of a blog post. man pages can be very dry and it's not always easy to think of all the possible ways some particular flag could help you.

I'm not necessarily defending this particular post, just making a general point about the more esoteric features of something like ssh :)
Wow, so fucking brave Google. All this SJW bs is just retarded and instead of focusing on advancing the technology or something else important these companies try to solve imaginary problems that only people who identify only by their sexual orientation have.
Infrastructure experience is most definitely relevant.

It captures what happens but I find the conclusions wrong. Yes, we are often unable to act with complete scientific rigor because the systems we have to deal with are way to complex and so we use our intuition and the like to deal with the situations, but this does not at all mean that this is a good or useful way to understand our world - after all our intuition and common sense is exactly what gives us a wrong picture of our world. Only scientific rigor was able to teach us that the world is very different from what we usually see, from space and time over energy and matter to the dynamics of life, the earth and the universe as whole.
Do you have some work you can show? The company I work for is hiring, and I'm looking for a Python + JS dev.
I've been skimming it.

Grossly put, it's making the case that the U.S. is economically and technologically vulnerable and our security services have responded to that by initiating surveillance of citizen and corporate internet habits surrounding consumption and other practices involving money.

The author does build up a respectable synthesis of these ideas, but then in a sentence or two comes to the vague conclusion that we must demilitarize internet consumption. Unfortunately, this second, major thought is not as well-developed.

It's a fascinating concept though- that law enforcement would de-emphasize -or expand beyond- protection of bodily harm in favor of protecting us from events that would destabilize commerce. In other words, they might not search your smart phone for banned porn as eagerly as they would for evidence of cybercrime. The logic being that porn might hurt individuals, but cybercrime could empty corporate bank accounts, leading to disruption of international trade and therefore social instability through missing food and employment.

AFAIK the black homeless population is barely larger than the white homeless population. Black people are disproportionately represented, but I don't think that homelessness is widely considered a "black problem." The homeless people that one is likely to meet are not significantly more likely to be black than white.
