"Because there is basically no type system that fights against you, you are unrestricted in what you can do, which allows you to implement very nice APIs."

If you feel like the type system fights against you, chances are that you are doing something wrong. When I program, the type system definitely fights for me. It gives me a lot of guarantees, plus it's a really convenient way of self-documentation. I mean, I'm not even talking about Haskell or something really sophisticated: I see the advantages even in old plain Java or C++ (so much that, in fact, most of my gripes about Java are about its type system not being complex enough).

Also, being "unrestricted" is far from being an universally good thing, since it also means many more opportunities for mistakes. I know for a fact that I make more mistakes in languages without static typing, but well, I guess it's just me.
Are you able to link to the research? It sounds like a native-JS version of NoScript, which is really interesting (apologies to the dead comment under me which asked something similar)
I'd make two observations:

1) Illumina/Solexa's breakthrough was to convert sequencing into a problem limited by computing resources (reassembling the jigsaw), so they were able to leverage improvements in semiconductor processing.

2) This quote grabbed me:

"But Flatley is confident that Illumina’s footprint, which includes not just machines but also the software to handle genomic data, will make the company hard to unseat."

I usually just google "alfred (something I do) workflow". For example, I wanted to be able to turn Caffeine on and off through Alfred. There's a workflow for that. I wanted a timer. Yep, already there. Look up the weather? Sure.

Alfred seems to have enough enthusiastic users that whatever you do regularly is probably done regularly by someone else as well.
I wonder how the THC thing could possibly work. I opt out at every checkpoint, and each time, they maximize body contact and then generate an input to those machines. Wouldn't it go off for anyone who had smoked up earlier in the day, or the preceding day? It seems like they'd be spending all their time doing drug searches.

(Don't get me wrong: drug searches at TSA checkpoints are extremely alarming, because TSA has been given a near all-access pass to mechanically searching people).

Fun fact: if you do any welding before you get on a flight, there's a good chance you'll set those things off.

So this is a consulting services lawsuit, not a product lawsuit. Interesting.

Not to sound insensitive to Oregon, but simply speaking as someone who deals with contracts from major software vendors regularly, I still don't see what legal standing Oregon will have against Oracle.

I saw this because major system integrator's structure their contracts in one of two ways:

(1) Staff Augmentation. This construct clearly states the implementer (e.g. Oracle) is there simply to provide an expert service and no deliverable's are being defined and no responsibility is on the implementer to "complete" any work. You're essentially just paying an hourly rate for an consultant and that consultant is under your direction (as such, 0 liability in on the implementer).

(2) Fixed Fee Deployments. This construct clearly articulates deliverable's and earn-out. Once the implementer successful completes a predefined milestone, the implementer will earn-out a predefined amount. In this construct, the only liability the implementer burdens is the labor to achieve the milestone and typically they can disengage at anytime.

In both contract types, it clearly states the implementer is not responsible for damages, missed deadlines, etc.

So again, I'm curious to know how Oregon is going to win this case.

But also, the NYT has been such a cheerleader for Brooklyn and the "creatives" that have transformed it, that more interest in their latest impulses and self-imposed dilemmas seems too obsequious.

It's also sad that the tone is like, this is not Brooklyn, but it's the closest to Brooklyn we can afford. So limited.

one where people could just walk on openly carrying a rifle if they so desired

So you also want airlines to modify cabins to handle oversized carry-on luggage? Nevertheless, the amount of people who would pay more to do this would not be commercially viable - you yourself state that cost is a significant factor for users. Keep in mind also that your security-free airline would have to have its own terminals, as its customers wouldn't be able to mingle with existing airline customers.

Also, why would you pay more for an item that's better off in checked luggage anyway? It's not like you can use the rifle between luggage drop-off and pick-up, and it's irritatingly large to carry around a cabin. It sounds like sacrificing pragmatics for pointless idealism, to me.

Ask HN: Growing faster and starting to have scaling issues. Where to go from here?
Hey everyone!

Note: using throwaway account for privacy reasons.

We're a two-person team running a bootstrapped startup - a community marketplace for a popular consumer good. We are currently experiencing faster growth and expect it to continue to increase a lot more (we’ve found a good way to grow). We now have over 80k members and nearing $1 million dollars worth of goods exchanged. The issue now is keeping up with the growth.

The site is written in PHP and the code isn’t exactly pretty – but we know how to grow and have a ton of potential for expanding to other products. We’ve had to hold back on some marketing because we don’t want to risk breaking things.

So far we’ve been outsourcing the development because we:
a) Couldn’t afford a full time developer in the past and
b) Didn’t know any developers that would fit as a co-founder where we’re from

We’ve now just moved to San Francisco to start networking and find a CTO/technical co-founder but it’s going to take a little time to find the right person.

We’re also looking at just hiring a contractor short term. We wanted to give at least a week or two of being here in case we can find someone networking first but recent growth has sped things up. This can definitely still be done but two things make it slightly harder:
a) Although we’re making a good profit now we can’t really stay competitive with salary compared to other funded startups.
b) We both have limited knowledge with programing but need to make sure we hire someone that has the right skill set and can fix the issues we're having.

Are we covering everything we could be doing? Does anyone have advice on where to go from here or been in a similar position?

Any advice is much appreciated! Or on the off chance you think you could help us out, please drop us a line!

The best part is that every question about why a group of barely shaving 20 somethings with zero corporate management experience are charging out hundreds to thousands of dollars per hour to "advise" senior C-level staff on how to run their billion dollar companies is answered with "well these are Ivy Leaguers, we only hire the best!"

Meanwhile every 6-12 mo program turns into a scheduled 24 month program that inevitably misses every deadline ever set for it and runs millions of dollars over before producing a barely functional solution that gets scrapped and rebuilt a year later.
That's not accurate. A wayland compositor can implement plugin support and delegate stuff to external processes; this is how weston works. You can swap out one shell for another, and if you want you can implement a shell that itself delegates out the dock, window decoration, etc. each to different processes. But the defaults will and should be that arbitrary apps cannot in any way snoop on or interfere with the user's interaction with other apps, so obviously any app that wants to do so will have to get authorization and use some interfaces that aren't part of the normal protocol for presenting an app to the user. You're not "being constrained by [the] architecture" of the standard implementation in any way that's not completely justified.

I wonder what sort of work most of them are doing? The article doesn't really go into specifics. For software development, at least, the job market seems really shallow, and you pay the price literally, and in what sort of work you can do as well. Compare the job market in e.g. Seattle with 1/10th the population, yet somehow there is more to do. Tokyo is nice, but there is never going to be a thriving tech community here if the pay is terrible and projects pointless and boring. For my part, I will probably leave soon :-(

e: In many cases, the graduates won't actually know what they'll be doing until after they're hired. So maybe that's why there isn't a breakdown by field of work.

What exact niche is that? Unless you mean "dynamically typed" (in which case that begs the question), I don't know what niche you think it couldn't occupy with static types. Not even arguing for static types: your comment is just really unclear.
So, what you're ultimately complaining about is the lack of a standard API for creating window managers and the like - the X11 protocol includes this, the Wayland protocol does not. But this doesn't stop you from using the API provided by specific Wayland implementations to create a WM, and the ability to innovate on just this aspect without touching the rest of the protocol should make it a lot easier to create a good WM API. Yes, you have to choose the architecture/API of one of the existing implementations, or write your own. But this is much better than having no choice, and being forced to use the X11 protocol!

I agreed with you more before this post. Let's consider the advantages of centralization:

(1) A single agency can have within its mandate, expertise, and budget the security apparatus, which requires full-stack authority: airport design and administration, customs officials, airlines, planes, luggage, etc. The airlines can focus on the task they actually want to perform and are qualified to perform, whereas the one agency responsible for security can be audited and held accountable for that task as a unit.

(2) Customers cannot purchase less security. This is an advantage. It is nonsense for a customer to walk openly onto an aircraft carrying a rifle.

I think "airport security" has much less to do with passenger security than the risks inherent with allowing planes to fly through our skies. 9/11 is a clear example that many more people than the passengers of the flight can be affected via air-terrorism. This is why planes are controlled.

I'm not opposed to that control; I just marvel at how awful a job the U.S. government does at determing the cost/convenience/effectiveness tradeoffs. In my experience in the United States, this seems to be a systemic problem with governmentally-administered services that does not seem to exist so much in other governments.

There aren't many airlines, and I expect the overwhelming majority of consumers would consistently purchase the cheapest option. If airlines are the agency entrusted with safe flight, this makes everyone less safe. Rather, airport and flight security seems better serviced as an airport-surcharge or tax. What's missing is effective, accountable security provided by experts that we trust. I don't know why that isn't something we can solve.

Nah. Many small firms and tech-oriented startups are much more casual and often liberal too, so no worry. I (as a native Japanese) work for a small tech company in Tokyo. The workplace is pretty friendly and negotiable. I bike to my work and have a power nap every day. I can have weeklong vacations a few times a year. The pay is not as great as the big guys, but generally I consider it a good life. Good luck with job searching!
>If you feel like the type system fights against you, chances are that you are doing something wrong.

Like most things, I think this depends on context. Doing exploratory data analysis in a static, strongly-typed language, for example, is extremely painful. And writing quick, one-time scripts in such languages is usually more trouble than it's worth. For this reason, Python is a wonderful language for doing data analysis and writing quick one-time data munging scripts (and yes, I realize that Python can be considered strongly-typed).

On the other hand, I've now been exposed to languages like OCaml and Rust, and have had time to think about Java, and I now have a different attitude when I'm building a large application that will have to be maintained. I'm beginning to feel extremely vulnerable when I use a language like Python or (worse yet) Javascript to build such applications.

It's not that I'm not a Javascript hater. I like Javascript in general -- it has a kind of functional feel to it, it's easy to prototype quickly, you can use it client and server, nice ecosystem, and unlike so many I actually enjoy async programming. And I've long enjoyed Python for similar reasons.

But for building a robust application that will have to be maintained a long-time, you have to religiously write tests in these languages or you'll be buried in bugs. And even then, you still may be buried in bugs that a static, strongly-typed language would have detected. For this reason, I'm looking hard for an static, strongly-typed alternative to Javascript for the browser (i.e., a language compiling to JS) for building large applications. And Ocaml's js_of_ocaml is definitely on my list of things to evaluate.

So the programming language philosophy that I adhere to now is encapsulated in the hackneyed old saying "use the right tool for the job".
Your definition of "training" and the "training"[1] new Japanese employees receive are almost certainly WILDLY different.

PSN Down as Sony, Blizzard, Riot and Others Are Under Siege by Hackers
I wish more states would do this to the large vendors that operate this way. Yes, no doubt, states bear some responsibility wrt project management failings, but time after time I hear/read/see sales promises of "this is easy", "yes the product does X", only to find out months later that in fact, no, the product doesn't do X - what they meant was "once you sign an 8 figure contract, we'll assign some junior developers to make it almost do that."

Perhaps this may serve as a turning point for more governments to bring litigation to bear when things go wrong. In many cases, it seems, more money is thrown to the original vendor to fix their own mistakes.
From the perspective of a user who isn't really experienced in running servers:

* I think they're called snapshots. Let me setup my VPS the way I want it, upload my stuff, etc, then let me backup/save my entire VPS on your servers. Two weeks later, when I'll try to setup a mail server for the first time in my life, I will probably break a lot of stuff. With a few clicks, I should be able to restore everything in a matter of minutes.

* Slashdot 'protection'. If I bought some starter package, and at some point I start getting 100%-1000% my usual traffic, then instead of killing my VPS for abuse or letting it suffocate on its own, make minimum effort, like boosting my resources, etc. Reach out, help me decide if I want to upgrade, or give me enough time to move out.

* Wiki/guides/tutorials. Maybe try creating a community where users can request guides, and (heavy) contributors could get some free server time :)
