You could also spend that developer time trying to untangle code reuse between various components, or the more subtle breakages caused by changes that don't account for the expectations of all callers. Code reuse is still a tradeoff.
C++ currently compiles slowly due to lack of modules.

Ask HN: Do you write Airbnb review frankly?
Right now, I am living in a house I found on Airbnb. The host is very nice and the housing is very good. But not everything is perfect. I feel it's hard/embarrassing to write something not good because the host is so nice and exposing that might affect her future rental. Not doing that might be not fair to future renters.

What will you do? Of course, this not only applies to Airbnb. But this is a little bit different from the amazon review where the connection between a product/seller and you is much looser.

I know many love to consider Snowden and Assange "heroes", but I think these two are people we should think outside the box on. Are they acting in the interest of everyone, themselves, or another party? The releases, interviews, and otherwise that get released seem very scripted and controlled. The propaganda machine is skilled and there may be unseen benefits to these leaks.
Because they focus on Java and C++ on their arguments while forgetting other languages.
I'm not saying that you're wrong (because I don't know) but the 2nd paragraph on wiki seems to suggest different:

Generics appeared in programming languages with CLU back in 1974 followed by many others, C++ was hardly the first language to get them.

The first version of STL was actually done in Ada.

Don't mistake generics in programming languages with what C++ does.
Villages that quarantined themselves during the Plague were left completely to their own devices. Back then, you couldn't even try to communicate with other villages without risking the messenger's life.

Today, outsiders can airlift food, clean water, and medical supplies to any isolated village that asks for help. So let's stop wasting resources on people who don't want to be helped, and focus on people who actually are desperate for help.

A computer is a general purpose machine, with capabilities for business, clerical work, arts (graphics, multimedia etc), entertainment (games, web tv, media distrubution) and of course communications.

A car, by now, is just a car. It's 2014, they are a known quantity, and the big change they were to bring, they have brought already.

Plus the key in the era of Mac and IBM PC was that the personal computer was just beginning and exploding from only nerds and large enterprises to billions of people. The personal computer was something genuinely new and disruptive for all kinds of markets, business processes and personal life. An electric car is just an incremental innovation on the car everybody already has.

Now, if it was a flying car, or a self driving car, that would have been more impressive in its possibility for change, but still nothing like a computer in the pre-mass computer era.
At first I thought this title was a poorly timed April Fools Joke.

I would imagine there are only a few decisions the founders make that ever come down to votes based on shares. Off the top of my head: Selling the company, firing the CEO, electing a new board, diluting existing shareholders, dividends.

The impact of this decision is probably heavily based on how often Felicis has a big enough stake to be a factor in shareholder voting.
Because normal users with 3-400 friends don't care about most of the updates around. Your feed would be full of pages and comments and pictures that these people are liking. "Friend A likes comment by person you never heard of in an open group about something you don't know what is" would be littering your feed.

Obviously you want some sort of filter on this data. You wouldn't want a live feed of all subreddits combined. At least not for normal consumption.
Ah damn. I saw Robert Smith and LARD and thought the singer of The Cure wrote an article about the death of Jello Biafra's side project.
Snowden is a controlled pawn, though even he might not know it. This is all too....Hollywood.

Edit: Feel free to downvote as much as you like, the points don't mean anything. If it's determined later on I was right, I hope you remember this post and consider it for future events.
The releases are outside Snowden's control now. He carefully gave a dump of information to two newspapers. Those newspapers control the flow of the information now, and they obviously want to maximise the benefit to themselves by releasing the information in controlled manner.
Show HN: CSS3 Rotate Menu
That sounds right, and if you're good at self-promotion, interviewing, and negotiation, I don't think 200k within a year is unachievable.

I've heard of fresh college grads getting 200k all-in compensation (base + stock + bonus) at Google/Facebook.

As for cost of living, it's really up to you. You don't have to live in SF. The only reason prices in SF are high is because you have swarms of engineers with 6-figure salaries and startups with millions raised bidding up the prices in a few highly desirable areas of SF. If you're willing to 1) have a roommate, 2) live in a less desirable (specifically, a much higher crime area), or 3) give up being able to walk to work / bike to work in 10 minutes and live with a 30 minute commute from other cities in the SF area (East Bay, some parts of South Bay, etc., then you can lower your costs a lot.
Who cares if they're working for someone? Benefit to who?
Will any of this really make any difference? I feel that, in the long run, it won't.

Edit: And to further clarify my question (since I'm being down-voted for a very legitimate question)... I know a lot of smart people and none of them (as in 0 of them) seem to take any notice to these conversations. There is a lot of apathy towards mass surveillance.

Sure, the conversation comes up a lot on HN but HN is not a very good sample of the general public.
Jobs: I actually lost $250,000,000 in one year when the stock went down. [laughs]

Playboy: You can laugh about it?

Jobs: I’m not going to let it ruin my life. Isn’t it kind of funny? You know, my main reaction to this money thing is that it’s humorous, all the attention to it, because it’s hardly the most insightful or valuable thing that’s happened to me in the past ten years.

I believe that Jobs laughed because- the value of starting or investing in a business is in making meaning first; by making meaning you are looking to change the world. Starting or investing in a business on the sole purpose of making money, means that if you don't make money, you’ll quickly lose interest and on top of that you’ll be left with a meaningless company that doesn’t change the world.

You might want to watch that interview again, because what you're saying is not true. I can't even imagine where you would have gotten that idea.

What's worse, even if it were true, your conclusion doesn't make sense and is just a cheap shot based on your own political views. Nothing about his stated motives are undermined by these releases, whether you agree with his actions or not.
One of these three things is not like the others.
Not that much. Machintosh wasn't a huge success at the time.

And anyway, that's beside the point. They didn't go to that approach to make more money, but because they felt they had to go to that approach.

I posted an explanation of how Dylan's macro system would handle this elsewhere (including http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/2gesag/comparat...).

Dylan was one of the original languages to have an infix-syntax with a Lisp / Scheme style macro system. (It is fairly similar to Scheme's syntax rules, but there's an implementation of something more powerful that is used within the compiler but isn't currently available to users.)

The examples that he is demonstrating in the other languages would like this in Dylan:

define macro swap!
{ swap! (?place1:expression, ?place2:expression) }
=>
{ let value = ?place1;
?place1 := ?place2;
?place2 := value; }
end;

and:

define macro each-it
{ each-it (?collection:expression)
?:body
end }
=>
{ for (?=it in ?collection)
?body
end };
end;

Dylan's macros are hygienic by default, and as can be seen in the ``each-it`` macro, ``?=it`` is a way to violate hygiene without much difficulty, when needed.

I just threw out my Dreamcast after finding it in my parent's garage. The internal battery was completely drained and was soldered to the controller board. So that wasn't going to be an easy fix. The fan was much louder than I remembered. I can't remember if it was always that way. The 2 games I really wanted to play, Soul Caliber and Virtual On, were missing from their jewel case.

My son and I did have a great time playing Sonic Adventures. One of the things I noticed is the games held up really well and they went on for hours! None of this 2 hour single player and then online that is the norm now.

Sadly, it died 4 months after rediscovery. Something about spending almost a decade in a humid, Florida garage probably didn't help. I did keep the VMUs for the day when I'll find another in a thriftshop in middle america somewhere.
"..., talk to businesses. I could give you a vague fact pattern to ask about (a problem which is amenable to a solution with code) but people seem to get hung up on that so I'll give you something really specific: you are looking for a MS Excel spreadsheet which has ever been mailed by Bob to Cindy, had Cindy edit it, and mail it back to Bob. Every time this happens a SaaS app gets its wings. Now go out and find, in the actual physical world, ten firms which have that same darn spreadsheet. Offer to build them a software system which solves the business problem which that spreadsheet represents. Ask if they would pay (pick a number based on how big the firm is) $50 to $250 a month for it. If yes, ask them to commit to buying it when it is ready. If you get 5 commits, build it, sell to them (n.b. you'll lose some commits here), and then start trying to sell it in more scalable Internet-y ways." - patio11, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5904316

If you do go into programming, try doing what patio11 mentioned in that comment, but for the petroleum industry you just got out of. I think most entrepreneurs in the "software side" would tell you to go back to the petroleum industry and build a software business around it using your 9-years worth of domain-expertise/network as leverage.
Glenn Greenwald a Bond Villain?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Greenwald

I see no preference for white furry felines and plenty of journalistic awards. He's not planning to take over a military base in the pacific (or one in outer space), doesn't have a private submarine.

He probably does have some 'nation state' enemies but that's mostly their problem (that's something all three have in common).

Greenwald is as respectable as they come. Not that that stopped some from trying to use the fact that he is gay to smear him.

For instance:

I think a large amount of people don't understand the full extent more than intellectually. They are aware that it is happening but it doesn't have real context. They aren't aware that their position is tracked or logged, their porn habits monitored and that their is a subset of the population that has become wildly powerful and extremely clandestine. However, people are taking note. People like Ladar Levinson and others. They are combatting this with technology. This is also happening live in NZ right before an election, people will have more information to make that decision. So things are changing at their usual pace: slowly. Hopefully for the better.

As far as I know, this is the first time Snowden is directly penning an article. He even has a staff page [1] now on The Intercept. This is interesting because to me because "At the NSA I routinely came across the communications of New Zealanders in my work" is much more impactful than "Snowden stated that he routinely came across the communications of New Zealanders in his work as an NSA Analyst".

The death rate from the current ebola is approximately 50%. While that sucks, what patients have to lose is both a 50% chance of living and their right not to be a playground for medical experimentation.

edit: and just who vets the people/companies who get to offer drugs to desperately ill people? Does anybody with $1k to buy needles get to make a sign and advertise curative injections? I'm sure glibertarian idiots will say it was a freely made choice, but choices made while infected with ebola (or even scared of being so infected) aren't freely taken, not to mention the asymmetric information.
This is interesting because I was wondering why so many of these startup videos seemed so similar (not in a good way, IMHO, but that's just my personal tastes and preferences).

You're deliberately trying to discredit a person who made available proof that the surveillance machine is out of control.

While everyone else is dissecting the information and trying to digest it and working on solutions to the surveillance problem; you're obsessed with the messenger.

Why?
I completely agree. Most information is nice to know but not actionable at all. It's the reason why we don't have any dashboards. Just periodic updates (weekly and monthly) in static PDFs.

Nothing real time, no dashboards, static data, but customers love it.

There is an argument though, that this issue is so deeply ingrained that we need a rather rebellious approach to actually change anything...

What's more appropriate for a rebellious movement than rebellious leaders?

Are these links in relation to generics? Generics weren't the issue I had been posting about.

For what it's worth, if the people responding to me had said "yes, what you say is a potential downside of our approach, but we think that the advantages of our approach outweigh the disadvantages," that would have been fine. There would have been no need to debate anything further.

The reason the argument went on is because the Go advocates were dismissing the possibility that my concern had any validity whatsoever.

I grew up in North East Scotland and therefore must have consumed a vast amount of lard in the form of "rollies" (AKA rowies/butteries/Aberdeen-rolls).

Since his "sexual assault" allegations were, in essence, an orchestrated smear campaign to discredit him and by extension Wikileaks, and the health of the former depends on the latter, I see absolutely no problem here.
