The second example doesn't do a copy of the data. The underlying data storage of a string is immutable. In your example x would point to the memory location of the constant string s. If you do for example:

x += "\n"

Then new memory would be allocated, and the current contents of x would be copied in, and the "\n" would be copied in after it. Since the string's type can't modify the underlying data, it's safe. However a slice has the ability to do so, the data must be copied. As the article link elaborates on, one of the main design features of constants in Go is their ambiguous type. Since slices or arrays require their components to have a specific type, the only remaining feature is that they do the copy as you talk about. (Unless you want to really complicate slice logic.)

It's a rare request that you're talking about. If you have a slice which code references but doesn't edit, make it a package level var and be done with it. If you need to be able to get the same starting slice which you can then edit, make a function to return and initialize it. These solutions fit well within the language's design, and mean that everyone learning the language doesn't have to learn a specific feature that they could easily do without.
Oh its more innocent than discrimination. Is it stupid business practices? Sure. Is it illegal? Its not. Im not suggesting people should do it, you should pay an employee what they are worth the business, but ultimately things that are legal and stupid business decisions are more innocent than blatant discrimination.
QuantifiedDev
True, but that device is destroyed with operation unlike the device described in the article.
An integrated mobile manipulator is a very different beast from a standalone manipulator bolted to a generic mobile base.

For example, UBR-1's lift torso means that it can pick an object up off the ground and place it on a tabletop. The placement of sensors is also key, with having a depth cam ideally placed for both looking around and supervising a grasp operation.
> Why do these things have to be made illegal?

To stop people doing it.
Not being the GP I don't know, but I'd wager it has something to do with the whole planning to disrupt their usual business part of it. It's not just recruiting, it's running interference.
The logic doesn't sound that far-fetched if you've read the linked article and find the business case plausible.
If only I had someone else to talk to on IPv6 other than Gmail or YouTube.

+1 to Google for caring more than most and thanks to Comcast for giving me a IPv6 /60 prefix delegation natively. :)
I also use Lyft and Uber in Seattle, and I much prefer Lyft.

It's interesting, there are two totally different cultures when it comes to Lyft and Uber drivers. Lyft drivers are always happy to talk and love it when you sit in the front seat. Uber drivers are always pretty friendly but often encourage sitting in the back like a taxi. There are drivers that are both on Uber and Lyft and they are always great and seem to be more like a typical Lyft driver than an Uber driver.
I do think that, hardware failures are inevitable, but using a RAID system, should prevent such things since all data is written on 2 or more disks at the same time. The backup might be one or more days old, think of Facebook would say: " hey 1 billion users the 10x billions of images you have uploaded in the last 24h are gone, please upload them again "

I think ultimately than it would be best to move on, tell the cofounders what you suspect is happening and let them know they are losing top talent because of it. Its really unfortunate that you have to do that in 2014, but it might be the first time that you encounter illegal things being done to the detriment of employees or customers but it won't be the last. The best thing to do for you is to leave, and not worry about. The last you want is for them to tell their network that you are slandering them or you are a "bad employee". Its unfortunate that they are probably the kind of people that would also try to ruin your career. It sucks, but there isn't much you can do/should do without hard evidence.

I guess bad gyroscope data in lots of Android devices, lots of fragmentation in OS and hardware capabilities, and less people using Android on the more valueable for advertisers market segment, limits developers will to push something simultaneously.

It's similar with music apps, were Android has crappy audio APIs and latency issues. Almost all synths, samplers, etc from professional music companies like Korg et co are made for iOS only.
By the way, I mentioned in the article that I am not much of a Facebook user, but didn't mention this great video about how the Facebook stream has become a kind of "alternate universe" - almost proving that "the stream" has become nearly useless http://goo.gl/TM7qz0

Unicode-aware Regular Expressions in ES6
Most people probably have their own private words; it's hard to know what the "standard" pronounciations are if you're just reading text.

Another one I've thought of is that I always say url, not U.R.L. - didn't know you weren't "supposed" to. It's not as stupid-sounding as you might think: I'm not saying "Earl" all the time; it's more like the vowel in "her" than the vowel in "hair". That phonetic merger doesn't exist round here.

They've got negative brand equity. I reject them with extreme prejudice.
>Smartphones are small and light. Standing them on an edge is in the best case precarious and in the worst case impossible (because the edges are sometimes rounded). Depending on where you prop them up (e.g. stone walls) it might also be damaging to the phone. Also, since they are so small and light (or not so much small, just not really ergonomically shaped for steady holding) holding them steady is a real challenge, especially when moving.

These issues with Hadoop and HDFS in particular are pretty well documented even by people in the Hadoop project. There was also a bunch of blog posts posted at Yahoo shortly after Cutting's departure that looked at a bunch of other issues with the IO subsystem.

Much of this stuff has been heavily refactored, particularly with Hadoop 2.0, so the problems are at least much smaller than they used to be. Early Hadoop was not exactly a masterful work in terms of the code & algos. What was great about it was the community that was built around it.

Crunch is longer than usual work with a looming deadline. Crunch doesn't have to be long term. Crunch can be working for 7 hrs seeing you are going to make your goal and busting ass for 3 more hours. The slope should match up with the expected outcome, mx+b or else it is futile and not crunch. Crunch should be "doable". What the author was describing is a death-march. The goal isn't to arrive at a location but to kill as many people as possible in the journey. Ref, trail of tears.
Poor people are likely as rare in elite Silicon Valley investor portfolios.

The vast majority of investors today are from upper middle class backgrounds and educations. We know this isn't based on merit because they're almost universally bad at investing. But who makes the decision to invest in VCs? It's LP money managers with almost identical backgrounds.
The Psychology of Kickstarter Campaign Goals
Facebook doesn't make its money off the tweens though, they don't spend money online.
These sorts of arguments or claims aren't very convincing, or don't appear to hold true in practice.

The claim that the development of Firefox OS is somehow more "open" is very suspect. Even if the source code is publicly available, and outside contributions may be accepted, Mozilla is still going to act as a gatekeeper, which inherently limits which contributions will or will not make it into Firefox OS. That doesn't strike me as being any more "open" than the development of Android or iOS is. A contribution to Firefox OS is a suggestion at best, but one that can be unilaterally disregarded by Mozilla without any sort of consequence to Mozilla. That's no different than making a suggestion to Google about Android, or to Apple about iOS.

The recent tendency of Mozilla to force totally unwanted changes (like Australis) upon Firefox users, even after very vocal objections to such changes, further makes me skeptical about how much openness there truly is when it comes to their products. Any objections, suggestions, feedback or contributions that aren't compatible with the direction that Mozilla has already decided to take appear to be ignored. "Openness" means that non-Mozilla parties can actively influence the development and future of Firefox OS. Merely being able to provide non-binding feedback or suggestions, even if in the form of code, is not really openness.

Likewise, the claim that Firefox OS "doesn't limit your freedom" is suspect, too. How can that claim be made when developers are pretty much forced into using HTML5, CSS and JavaScript to build apps? I don't consider myself to have "freedom" if, as as developer, I'm forced into using JavaScript or some half-baked "transpiler" that attempts (usually poorly) to target JavaScript.

It's also odd to claim that these apps will somehow be portable to other platforms, especially if they're using APIs that only Firefox OS currently supports. Even if there have been efforts to standardize these APIs, the fact that they aren't widely implemented by other browsers or platforms renders them as proprietary to Firefox OS, in practice, at least for some time. A standard that exists but isn't widely implemented probably shouldn't be considered a standard.

And the "HTML5 is a first-class citizen" distinction seems quite irrelevant in practice, as well. If the same apps will supposedly work on other platforms, either natively or with the help of something like Cordova, then they're just as "first-class" there as they are on Firefox OS.

So as you can see, the arguments you gave are theoretical at best, and some of them don't even appear to hold true in reality.
Thanks god. Last thing we need is actual meritocracy where people can cross class boundaries with hardwork and a bit of cunning.

Tweens are also extremely nomadic when it comes to apps. They'll drop snapchat like a bad habit over the next couple years as the new thing comes along.
That's a potential software developer's salary, whose contributions are certainly worth more than that - I'd call it substantial.
I just got back from the U.S.

Where I was, Uber was constantly jacking up the price with surge pricing, between 1.25x to 1.75x the normal price. Meanwhile, Lyft not only wasn't jacking up the price during those same hours but was running a 25% special. On top of that, the Lyft drivers were typically friendlier. No brainer which one I recommend to others.
Curb (TaxiMagic) is just a (bad) dispatch-management service; it's not really built into any taxi system, and doesn't provide any sort of feedback or quality control on the ride experience.
MalwareBytes doesn't like your link.
What really matters: Are the most capable getting into elite colleges?
Don't let the fist bumps and mustaches fool you, Lyft has raised over $300,000,000 in VC and has tried to poach many an Uber driver. There's no one to feel bad for in this race.
Talk about head in the sand. CS is subsuming stats (not really) because computers are a, if not the, major driving force begind statistical advances. L1 regulation became a fad in stats because computational optimization could efficiently solve this non-smooth optimization problem. Engineers are now advancing algorithms and moving it to real world use, while statisticians are still re-searching their field and finding applications using existing algorithms. There is nothing wrong with application, but this means that they are not at the forefront of research and more importantly they have to wait for other people to solve their problems because they are no capable of inventing novel algorithms. When the world at the large relies on computers for every little thing and on computer scientists for a lot of scientific advances, is it really surprising that computer scientists are more prominant?

And computer scientists have plenty of rigor. NIPs conferrence is an AI/neuroscience conference that is now prestigious in stats as well. Some machine learning experts lack mathematical foundations but statisticians are not really good mathematicians either. Being able to regurgitate stat theorems and prove convergence in expection under two dozen conditions (no kidding; read average JASA papers) are not the hallmark of analytic rigor. Average stats Ph.D., even from top programs, lack thorough understanding of measure theory. Just look at standard stat textbooks; examples are aplenty (using statistical software), but proofs are nowher to be found. It is amazing how many statisticians are still using pseudo-inverses in numeric computation.

The statistical education is a problem. The biggest factor being the very software this article is promoting: R. It is an atrocious monstrocity. Perhaps statisticians can live with it. Fine, but don't expect good programmers coming out of using R for five years. Python would be far better. In the end, statisticians are not professional programmers, the same way accountants are not. I don't see too many accountants fretting CS is subsuming their field. Let us not forget, most statistical methods have their roots in other science and engineering fields, and they are not particularly bothered.
Indeed. We hear this a lot and we have some ideas. Stay tuned.
Well, your current approach is "give up". I suggest a different tack. It would be easy to say you're just trolling but I suspect you're possibly just depressed. Going to a hackerspace and meeting people in the industry and showing you have a genuine interest in the field quite often WILL get you a job, actually, or even better it will give you something to work on and make your own business, if you care about it. I wish I had your citizenship; I'd love to start my own business (brewery, probably) but my current visa forbids it.

Nobody is going to promise you a job in Norway. You have to go make it effing happen. I don't mean to be vulgar, but to express that if you want it badly, if it damn near hurts not to have it, you'll make it happen. At this point you don't seem to know what you want. Even if you have no job experience, you could at least have project experience. Show off what you've done with Arduino, or open source, or painting, or skateboarding, or radio, or whatever.

How to Benchmark Code Execution Times on Intel IA32 and IA64 Instruction Sets [pdf]

I'm also having trouble in FireFox 28.0, but that seems to be an SSL issue being caused by my Fiddler install.

UPDATE: I've hacked at their demo and replaced the search button with some jquery that executes the search on every keypress - works really well. I've already applied it to one of the software-engineer training videos here at my office.
Why do you have to fully decouple if it's not necessary. Create a gem(s), and call it a day.
there is absolutely NO way a packet with an internal IP can get anywhere on the public Internet

That very much depends on your definition of "public internet."

My service provider doesn't properly filter RFC1918 space at their border. From my home on the west coast, I can hit 10.0.0.0/8 devices on the east coast in a separate AS.

Is a reachable printer web interface 3000 miles away in New York on the public internet? The "Internet" is a very tough entity to define succinctly, but I'd argue yes.
I see Uber as wanting their own future monopoly. They aren't some egalitarian democratic plumb bob making the world better for everyone. They are a national and trans-national transportation monopoly that has deep brand recognition while forcing drivers to play or pray, same schtick as the taxi companies. Why else would Goldman Sachs and Blackrock be involved?

Someone needs to make the craigslist of Uber or a Meta-Uber. The fact that many uber drivers are also taxi operators is very telling.
It'll mean less bars. More bars have opened than closed since Uber has been around.
I suppose it depends on where you are using the services. In Los Angeles, after you factor in tip for a taxi driver, Uber and Lyft are about 40-50% cheaper. Here's Uber's analysis of the pricing in LA http://blog.uber.com/LAuberXpricecut
Odd, no problem for me.

There's a lot of ads on the page , so maybe that's why.

Facebook Hyperlapse: Your friends' videos, but better
Among other things:

Person A wants to ruin person B's day. So person A plants rumors that person B has been bribed, and gets some random shady person to send a reasonably large amount to person B.
The stats from comscore show how heavily skewed toward the younger demographic Snapchat is: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bv3CIHgCYAEF0P0.jpg:large
Fast-motion time-lapsed videos are a good point of entry. But to keep users’ attention, Hyperlapse will need algorithmic intelligence -- a smart editor per se -- that chooses the best parts of the video, similarly to how Google Plus Stories selects the best pictures to create a compelling normal-speed video with the brevity and impact of time-constrained videos.
I used Meteor for a project and almost killed myself. Its good and fancy but loads a bajillion javascript libs that you have no idea. Also loads of dependencies on specific versions. DO NOT USE IT FOR PRODUCTION PROJECTS! I've had a very very horrible experience.
Except probably the drivers.
They are using RAID 5 and probably cheap ssd storage. I'm not surprised. This is what they give you for your money.
Do you think that it's rare that the poor are the most capable? Presumably, if the poor are underrepresented at these schools, they're missing out on a lot of potential people who are very capable. I studied at Harvard and certainly wish the student body were more economically diverse, as challenging of a problem as it is to solve. It can be very hard to identify highly capable high schoolers from disadvantaged backgrounds since they often don't go through the sort of differentiation that the wealthier high schoolers coming to schools like Harvard do (top high schools, academic summer programs, research at local universities, et cetera). And that's ignoring the problem of getting them to apply and attend.

Edit: grammar
I wish the readme/wiki explained why - should we expect much greater performance from a Go version or is this just a fun project?
Why were they trying to recruit you if you were already driving for Uber?
From the article, the organization was to ensure that they didn't hit up the same driver multiple times, giving away the scale of the game they were playing. Clearly they don't care about canceling rides, since they were literally just in the news for intentionally canceling rides for no reason other than to make Lyft and their drivers lose money.
Likewise. I reran the install script (curl https://install.meteor.com/ | sh) and it removed my existing install and installing 0.9.0.
And who owns the newspaper that was responsible for getting Abbott in?
So Google, Facebook, and Apple are bad because they come to secret agreements to not poach each other's employees and now Uber and Lyft are bad because they'll do everything in their power to poach each other's employees?

Make up your minds.

This sort of poaching is good for the drivers, and this sort of ruthless competition is a good indication of a market that is good for riders.
Bush has an MBA from Harvard, which unlike many MBA programs, is pretty impressive. He got his BA in History from Yale, averaging a 77. (All according to Wikipedia.)

Edit: I mostly agree with your post, but I don't think dragging Bush into the discussion is constructive.
"upper class"? As in aristocrats? Old money? I don't really think so. Maybe upper middle class.
"most users don't care about the type of login"

Majority of the population get paid, minority of the population go pay.

Same theory works here.
And still less verbose than SVG.
And your point is? A lot of lame people graduated from Harvard. A bunch of them. And they have no clue how economics work. 96% of political contributions from ivy league staff and faculty went to obama, not romney.

Looks like GW was a yale grad, Obama harvard. Oops I stand corrected, GW has degrees from both.
Would you mind elaborating on what you mean by "capable"?
Why? The drivers are in huge demand (hence trying to be poached and getting hefty starting bonuses). In this scenario they are being paid to drive around an Uber recruiter. If they don't want to work for Uber they still get paid for a ride they wouldn't have had otherwise.
