Or marry out of desperation.

But I wonder, though, if you give welfare to women, will that lead to financially responsible, but "dull" men having a hard time getting laid? While "fun", but financially reckless men getting most of the women?

I suppose you may have meant a basic income scheme for both men and women, but the issue would still be there. Women get pregnant. Men don't. Thus men tend to be financially more successful than women, since they don't have to spend time being pregnant etc.

Ask HN: Advice on issuing equity to overseas team members
5 out 7 team members in our company are abroad. We'd like to issue them equity but they can't file 409a election as they don't have a US SSN or Tax ID. We are registered in Delaware.

As per my lawyer, who's not a tax expert, they face a problem only if at the time of liquidation they are in the US. They will be taxed as if they never filed the 409a Election with the equity grant.

There a real possibility that some of our team members will move to the US and face this issue.

Has anyone dealt with this issue? Any advise on handling this would be extremely helpful.
You don't put age on a resume.

You may leave out earlier projects and graduation date on a resume; even if you don't, speaking as someone who has interviewed, you don't really look at the years. "Oh, they worked at X, Y, and Z", not "Oh wow, they've been doing this professionally for twenty five years, they're at least in their mid 40s". Especially if it's a newish technology. This person has ten years of Javascript experience, two of that with Angular, awesome, we need a front end dev familiar with Angular. Holy crap, they're in their fifties; they just didn't list, or I didn't notice, all the non-relevant experience.
For me, it's because I want to make games. When I had a boring job, I found myself braindead when I came home from work and found myself unable to make games on my own time. For all its pros and cons, working in games allows me to make games, and for all its ups and downs I still love the challenge and the work.

I seem to be riding the average age wave. When I joined the industry 10 years ago I was the average age. Now I'm still the average age. Working conditions have (for me, at least) got better and I crunch much less.

I have to say though, it is worrying. People in the industry above 50 are like unicorns, and most of them are senior managers or execs. I'm in my mid '30s and I feel that I can't stay in the industry for much longer, and then what?

The fifty year old with ten years experience in X is identical to that thirty year old with ten years experience in X, except with an extra twenty years of other experiences to draw upon. Any other consideration you make based on his/her age is pure unfounded assumption; age should be a -plus- when hiring, not a detriment.

Aw, but what about utterly fast to develop in, utterly awesome at concurrency, utterly easy for ruby/python/dynamic-language devs to pick up and gain huge performance boosts, utterly easy to get in to the ecosystem, and utterly simple to use?

Most of those characteristics are also true for PHP, which is arguably also easier to deploy, since nearly every virtual hosting provider has mod_php enabled and it is 'platform-independent'.

Sure, it gets the job done.

However, a lot of PL research has gone into making languages safer. Allowing you to make bugs that manifest at runtime, compile time errors. And while large bugs may not be that big a deal for the average web application, not everyone writes web applications. Billions are wasted on software bugs, from research that turns out to be invalid due to multiplication of units of measurement that cannot be multiplied, to Bitcoins that are lost due to programming errors, to deaths caused by errors in life-critical software.

Go does almost nothing to solve the one of the largest challenges of software, namely to make it safer. Sure, it's more safe than C. But arguable it's even a step back from Java by its refusal to include some form of parametric polymorphism, requiring developers to revert to runtime introspection instead.
You realize this is most often hampered by the team the individual is working on? Not every company puts their employers in an opportunity to claim great successes.

Well, how can you draw a completely arbitrary, undefined boundary around some part of the world and declare that people Over There are just morally and spiritually better than everyone else, in the complete absence of historical evidence or even of specifically stating whom you're actually talking about?

That is actually an excellent idea. Loss of manpower is something that is overlooked in a lot of companies. I believe part of it is job security (make yourself invaluable). And part of it is HR optimisation. Why pay for 2 people to do the same job when 1 will do? The same reason you pay for 2 servers, 2 backup processes, etc.
I know it is a bit silly but I feel compelled at times to respond to and correct news headlines like "Hackers Steal Bank Passwords". Conflating hacking with criminal activity is another example of the depressing Prohibitionism which is such a drain on the American psyche and which props up organized crime and the militarization of everyday life.

There was a PBS kids show my kids watched a few years back:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberchase

Stupid as hell and despite the fact that it received science education grants - had nothing to do with science. There was a character called the Hacker who was like a Gargamel-ish character.

My boys eventually asked me why I didn't like the show and I had a parenting moment where I explained to them what a hacker was - I used examples like Leonardo da Vinci who did things that were considered illegal to advance science (human disection, etc).

More recently we had the opportunity to go tot HOPE X in NYC. They learned lockpicking and soldering and checked out the exhibits and books. And we had the 'lockpicking is ok if the lock is yours' talk...

I wonder what kind of processors would we have today if the market went into another direction, like LISP? Tagged registers, optimizations for deep stacks, optimizations for GC...

When considering a github-like service for my company, there were two main candidates, gogs and gitlab.

I favoured gogs because of the ease of deployment. What killed it was the fact that forking public repositories and creating pull requests is not implemented yet.

Since the ease of deployment for gitlab was drastically reduced lately, we settled for gitlab.

I love silence. Its likely one of the best things ever. I find myself not only enjoying it but needing it to cope with stress. A long week of work and constantly dealing with people, bullshit, people interrupting my thought process.

I find when I get home, I just want to be left alone, left in quiet. The hard part is when I don't (two roommates + work being done on the house), like the last few weeks. I get extremely stressed, to the point I get muscle cramps, and lose a lot of sleep.

I've even tried exercising daily after work to help cope with stress, and it doesn't help at all.
I think after having lived in several neighborhoods where noise was 21/7 (almost 24/7, that is, and where no one has consideration for their neighbor), it may be that I simply have grown to appreciate distance from that kind of living.

There's a lot of noise that I can live with, since I'm a pretty flexible person, but I prefer the outside world to be a choice and having that line between one thing and another (headphones are helpful). Equally, I like being able to go out to social places but not specifically having to be social (like cafes).
I was debating making one more reply to apologize for that, actually, when you pointed it out in our other thread of comments.

I'll do so here and edit my original reply (if I still can): I'm sorry for my replies to you, they were partially off topic, and I think I initially misunderstood your point.

I still think you're overly focused on kids' safety, which is one of the main things the regulation you're talking about implementing as the main question we face is actually supposed to deal with. (The other things it deals with is other kinds of verification that you're buying appropriate amounts, eg, not reselling.) I do agree that how we implement such decisions is one of the key questions about how we implement a decision to legalize drugs, but I'd argue it's entirely irrelevant (and a variation on "think of the children!") to the decision of whether or not to go about legalizing more recreational drugs.

> your incredibly dumb appropriation of the gay rights plight as an analogy for drug legalization

Gay rights isn't an analogy for drug legalization, nor have I ever tried to claim the two were analogous. It just happens that many good examples of clearly fallacious arguments which are widely known come from people arguing against the rights of gays, and I elected to use two arguments that have been told to me personally as examples of poor arguments which have a similar structure to ones you were making. There is no deeper link nor analogy between the two topics.

Author of those slides here.

They were made on the next day after the language was presented on WWDC and were based purely on the first draft of the Swift book published online by Apple. Needless to say the book was more of a tutorial than a full-blown spec at that time and many important aspects were not covered (generics were lightly documented without much details).

Can you please provide details about generics in Swift and how exactly are they different from Scala's?

Edit: changed 'superior' to 'different'.
Reference counting and multi-core performance are not mutually exclusive at all. In a lot of applications where you exploit parallelism, you parallelise loops (e.g. via OpenMP), usually objects go out of scope outside the parallelized loop (single threaded code), so you can use a bare pointer. In the loop you do mostly stack allocations.

Of course, there are degenerate cases where there's a lot of lock contention on the reference count. However, there are degenerate cases in most garbage collectors for multi-core as well. Isn't Go still using a stop-the-world GC?

Edit: I wanted to add that I am not against garbage collectors. You lose deterministic destructors, but a well-developed garbage collector like the JVM's is very performant in most situations, and in many cases indeed more performant than reference counting.

Categorize tweets automatically through machine learning. Any startup? Silly?
I'm working on a new project that helps you to categorize your tweets automatically through machine learning.

You just need to insert some keywords/hashtags, select your categories, possible ones are sentiment, identity, issue, ... You manually categorise just some of your tweets. Then, croakun will categorise the rest for you automatically through artificial intelligence. An interactive dashboard will be ready immediately for actionable insights.

Personally, I built this to train data to analyze social media insights for clients. I still don't have the user-friendly version yet.

1. Do you find or think of any alike startups or products?

2. Would you think this auto-categorise tweets application interesting and useful?

Hope to get some feedback from you guys~ Thanks!
Give it a try at croakun.com too :-)

How does this compare to Susskind's "The Theoretical Minimum"?
On top of the junky aspects of forensic "science" are many bad practices. 1600+ cases in Massachusetts were called into question due to a crime lab employee who told police and prosecutors what they wanted to hear. She was a hero until she wasn't.

She was convicted of a crime and got a short prison term. The investigation found she "acted alone."

Is she an outlier?
I see what you mean!

But in that case they should do a webcam interview first, before make someone move around (even it's paid) to see he "doesn't" fit the "requirements".
The sound of a running refrigerator is one of those sounds found in most homes and can be a source of constant distraction, whether this distraction takes place below conscious recognition or not.

I feel that silence is especially beneficial for (and sought out by) people who have a lot of divergent ideas or thoughts which they 'need to' converge and solidify into a more emergent and connected whole. Artistic people would be one simple example but also anyone who has done a great deal of autodidactic study and then wants to turn that into a more refined versions of internalized information...

EDIT: There are of course ways to dampen the sounds in a home or other building, namely, sound-absorbing foam which can be placed on walls or insulation inside of the walls.
Refactorings are used to adapt your code to newly acquired knowledge and/or changed requirements. That are things that CAN'T BE PLANNED because you simply don't know them yet. Therefore you can't plan how minimal you'll have to refactor.

Let's take the "rename function" refactoring. You claimed sed was sufficient. What about functions with the same name in different namespaces or different visibilities?

The same goes for move parameter. Sometimes you want to move a parameter so the order adheres to a guideline that you've accidentially forgotten or that newly emerged. Again: What about ambiguos function names?

Refactorings such as pull method up (e.g. to create an interface)/ push method down are probably not even possible with sed.

Those are small and manageable refactorings. But even a small refactoring such as rename function can mess up your code if not done correctly.
There are similarities, of course, as you could expect from any modern language (i.e. created in the 21st century) but if there is something noteworthy about all the recent languages that came out these past years (Kotlin, Ceylon, Swift, Fantom, Gosu), it's not how much they look like Scala but all the features from Scala that they left out.

The Scala experiment produced a lot of interesting results and added a lot of clarity about what features are interesting in a modern language (property, lambda, extension methods, sum/union types, and a few others) but the complexity of Scala's type system and the uncertain shape of its code base (see Paul Phillips' talks) is demonstrating that it's often wise to support fewer features rather than be a kitchen-and-sink language.

I am very excited by this trend of minimalism in languages and the willingness from language designers to say "Interesting feature but it will add too much complexity, so I'm not adding it".

Best of luck to Swift, and I can't wait to see if a language will finally emerge on the JVM to supplant Java (even though this might take a solid decade).

The latter is a subset of the former and refers to particular architectures/strategies for doing machine learning/data mining. Think deep as in hierarchies not deep as in "whoa, man". Some ideas in deep learning are new; some are old. It's not entirely a rebranding.

which makes me think I might enjoy living in Japan

Tokyo will disabuse you of this notion fairly rapidly. If you want pin-drop silence you have to either get out to nature or pay for private space. The substitute for silence that much of Japan uses is a social bubble. There's a polite fiction that things outside one's own bubble don't exist, and polite society is extraordinarily reluctant to impose itself upon others' bubbles. It's basically both required for sanity in daily life and an answer to the question of how many people in Tokyo are confronted with overpowering loneliness when it is one of the most densely populated places on earth.

Silence is a luxury.

I live in the shadow of NYC and in any 10 min block of time will hear a: helicopter/ airplane/ truck/ motorcycle. Garbage is picked up at 3am. There are vague oceanic noises which I imagine are nearby building HVAC systems. Bars and a W hotel add to the general ambient noise.

Spent 2 weeks camping in Iceland this summer and had moments of real silence. Not a brief lull before the next noise but quiet with no expectation of further noise.
