Anyway I wouldn't trade a 'benevolent socialist system' (somehow Polish case) for a 'benevolent fascist system' (somehow Portuguese case). Average life standards in Portugal were light-years distance from Polish ones.

Ex: While living in Poland, once I commented to a friend that my grandparents could barely read and one grandmother couldn't read at all. He thought I was joking. Or another example: my grandfather got his first shoes when he went to military service. These situations were unthinkable in Poland during communist times. In Poland at the same time lots of people were having university education and most people from lower classes were having holidays.
No it doesnt. If the law stated that it was not possible to ask the full price, then it would protect consumers. But now it includes cases where the price is halved, which means I can't get cheap transport.
pyed, you are hellbanned.
I agree with most of these points, but there is one niche where this could make a lot of sense: programming contests (e.g. topcoder, google codejam). These are very similar to sports to begin with, and it can be quite interesting to watch somebody implement a moderately complex algorithm in 15 minutes.
> To me, with a timeline, livestreaming and archiving is the ultimate in source control. What if you could trace a line of code to a check in to a time stamp to the video of that line of code being created? What if you could stitch that all together to a work item or ticket, and get video of the design and thinking process, to understanding why the code is a certain way? That's exciting.

Isn't that the exact use case for code/commit comments? :P

Just an interesting aside: Lem is famously known for Solaris, mainly due to the movie adaptations. According to Lem the movies don't really reflect his vision:

..to my best knowledge, the book was not dedicated to erotic problems of people in outer space... As Solaris' author I shall allow myself to repeat that I only wanted to create a vision of a human encounter with something that certainly exists, in a mighty manner perhaps, but cannot be reduced to human concepts, ideas or images. This is why the book was entitled "Solaris" and not "Love in Outer Space".

I wonder how coding in front of a live audience frequently would change how you write code. I can imagine both positive and negative effects. I think you would probably get very good at getting boilerplate code out of the way, but I assume it would make you more prone to mistakes, at least in front of a live audience.

I would be interested in seeing the workflow of other python programmers. So less about watching them program in python, and more a demo of what a certain set of tools linked in a certain manner looks like, when shown by someone with experience. (IE, it's not the same when I try stuff out because I don't have the familiarity.)

They could just start doing MITM attacks against _every_ connection, and we'd be in the same situation as we were before implementing opportunistic encryption?
Short because I'm on my phone: my sibling is correct. But I think it's important to understand that Vec<T>, [T, ..N], and &[T] (vectors, arrays, and array slices) aren't different because of mutability. The differences are in ownership, growability, and where the backing memory is allocated. Also, Vec<T> isn't part of the language, but part of the standard library, while the other two are language items. Any RFC would have to take this into account.

Nobody really claims any of Go's features are new in any way. And yet, Go put them together in a fashion that attracts developers because it is put together in an absolutely easy to use way.

There's this wonderful comparison of Go and Algol-68, actually meant as "Go is boring" criticism, but it really shows that Go has all these exciting features that have been around for several decades, and yet nobody bothered to implement them, integrate them and popularize them until the Go development team did so.
Currently a bit light on detail, at least it seems their services database is encrypted:

where c means "an encryption module is loaded" although only later versions of Atheme say which encryption module it is.

Yeah - why should a user switch over from Pathogen or Vundle? I'm not trying to be a jerk -- just suggesting that that explanation is probably worth giving.
Unless you're Automattic (Wordpress.com). Or Acquia (Drupal).

This is built on Jetbrains MPS[0], which is essentially an abstract tree editor made to behave like a regular text editor. The weird thing is, the DSLs can collide; there can potentially not be enough information in the text to unambiguously decide which DSL the author intended. Therefore, additional data has to be stored to disambiguate this.

Absolutely worth the gamble if you think there's realistic potential going forward.

It's a chance of giving up 2.5 weeks of pay to keep a 4-year company going longer term. If it flops, you're out a couple weeks pay but hopefully can take it, you've kept your staff on for a couple extra weeks, etc. If it succeeds, you've delayed pay for the executives by a few weeks (it may not be lost - much will depend on structure, etc. but if you're salaried and the startup is independently incorporated, it may be legally obligated for those 2+ weeks of pay), you've shown the staff that you're willing to give up your own pay to keep them on (loyalty!), etc.
Condescending tone aside, what I read as being proposed for Ruby isn't the same as what is being shown for Perl.

In Perl, a dev says "Huh, I don't think this is being maintained properly", and then proceeds to contact the original author, and failing that, a set of admins.

The Ruby proposal, on top of that, allows a dev who is abandoning a project to mark it as such, and that then is individually findable or noticeable. This is actually a rather more interesting approach, as it means those downstream know when a library they're using is being abandoned, and can decide -immediately- what to do about it, from switching to another library, up to and including taking ownership of the existing one. The community can have a proactive notification of abandonment, if you will.

I started out with PHP in ~2000 as that's what people used, but then migrated over to Python around 2007 and web.py. Now I've experimented with node and Go, Java and Scala, but I prefer Python and Django. There's so much that Django gives you, it feels stupid not to use it. I haven't tried Ruby or Rails, I just don't feel like I need to.

Quite, but this would be moment by moment, not "huge chunk after an hours work", a proper stream of the flow of time, and very high fidelity. Isn't source control just a fancy way of saving plain text files? In a certain sense sure, but it's also a lot better. I think it would be interesting to explore.

I think the big difference for me is treating a timeline as a first class programming artifact, giving you locality on the code, and being able to explore. What lead up to this code? How long did it take to create? What dead ends were explored on the way? etc.
> Do innate geniuses are more successful as entrepreneurs or inventors?

1. Can you rephrase that?

2. Can you unambiguously define "genius"? The term doesn't have a generally agreed meaning.

3. It might have been more productive to ask this about entrepreneurs and investors separately, because they're very different activities and outcomes.

Ask HN: Real-world programmer salary in Silicon Valley
Hello, i recently applied to a programming job (Backed Java Developer) here in Germany. The annual salary with standard benefits was 48k Euro which equals about ~62k USD. Obviously salaries in Germany and the US are not 100% comparable, but lets just ignore that for now.

During the job interview, i was asked why i am not working in SV. I wasnt prepared for the question so i did not know what to say. The interviewer said that for my profile i would be making between 100-150k USD in SV. I was rather stunned.

So, to give you some information on my background:
I am 100% self-taught. I do not have any academic degree but a decent amount of experience.
I have a total of 8 years programming experience (including work at Startups) with a strong focus on web application development. I consider myself very experienced in Java and Python, plus decent PHP and C skills. Needless to say i also have HTML, CSS and SQL on my resume. On top of that, Linux is my home. All the coreutils in general, administrating and deploying the most used services.... not a problem.

So tell me, what would someone like me be making in SV?

Searching for this info on Google brings numbers anywhere from 40k-250k USD, so i would like to hear some people with real-world numbers.
So who would you want to see streaming their development?

Let me nominate:

Bret Victor
Rich Hickey
Scott Hanselman
Jon Skeet

How to explore Wikipedia offline (without the media files)
I'll be very interested to see how this goes.

In a former life, I worked on developer tools and as part of that we did some extensive on-site filming of experienced developers, in order to do some new product development (I think we used 10 years of professional development as the minimum bar). I don't remember the exact numbers, but it was over 75% of the time was spent reading code - just navigating, stepping through a debugger (without making any changes), and just staring at huge piles of code.
One of the big drawbacks for me is the scraping, it's tedious and thankless. I guess that's why older people do it more, they learned patience.
The biggest reason over Pathogen is automatic installation of your dependent plugins. Biggest reasons over Vundle is parallel downloading, dynamic plugin loading, and static plugins. (all of the reasons for me, YMMV)

I've found even that I can install vim-plug with only a few lines of vimscript so that I don't even need to store a .vim directory in my dotfiles repository. Everything can just be installed and run the first time I start vim on a machine, and I can easly :PlugUpdate to get updates to any of my installed plugins.

The "Cyberiad" is an incredibly great introduction too. For example, it contains an electric bard which produces a long poem about tensor algebra, starting with:

> Their indices bedecked from one to n
> Commingled in an endless Markov chain!

Needless to say, Michael Kandel's translation is also hugely impressive.
Quote: "The ratio between a circle’s circumference and its di-
ameter, named π, is a mathematical constant of crucial
importance to science, yet most scientists rely on pre-
computed approximations of π for their research. This
is problematic, because scientific progress relies on infor-
mation that will very likely disappear in case of a cata-
clysmic event, such as a zombie apocalypse."

Easily solved, no shotgun required: divide the path geometry of a walking zombie by that of a non-zombie, relying on the observation that zombies tend to walk in circles and non-zombies don't.

Just because the mafia doesn't simply break knees randomly doesn't mean that the threat of violence doesn't underpin the mafia's operations.

Yes, this includes targeted killings and violent extortion when required. Since this threat has been proven credible it's normally not required to actually break people; people simply give up before the tire irons have to be brought out.
Tech libertarianism is cute.
I wasn't suggesting to blindly use a tar pipe for as many files as the OP was trying to address. My main point was that the tar pipe (locally or over ssh) is superior to cp/scp for the sorts of things that many of us do regularly (as discussed elsewhere in this thread), such as copying tens of thousands to low millions of mostly smallish files locally or remotely and wanting to preserve the structure of links and file metadata, and that pax looks like a simpler alternative to the tar pipe that accomplishes the same thing in a single command, although it does still use a hash table internally.

I wonder if using something other than a hash table would be worthwhile for cases like the OP though, or if there is a tool that has that option -- the memory overhead of empty buckets and resizing seem like serious downsides when you're trying to handle as many files as the OP.
This is really nice ! Thanks !
I think you misinterpreted was I was trying to say. I didn't mean you should force people to use PHP (obviously that would be suboptimal) , but that the choice of technology has generally little to do with startup success. People who can execute well in terms of distribution and product can do so using any technology. It's just that this group of people is less likely to choose PHP for their projects because of cultural circumstances (SV, press, peers, etc).
I think it's different: You can see the color green in multiple ways: Monochromatic light of 520nm wavelength looks green to you, but so does dicromatic light composed of a mixture of yellow (580nm) and blue (440nm). The two situations activate your 3 cone cells in the same way.

When painting, you might 'see' the 520nm green in your scene, but choose paint that is a mixture of yellow and blue to recreate it since the net color looks the same to you. However, the paint will look different from the scene to someone missing (eg) red cones.: Your red cones contributed to the blue+yellow looking green to you, since the yellow paritally activates the red cones.

The most obvious benefit I believe is its ability to update plugins in parallel. A GIF [1] shows that it managed to update 40 plugins in mere 4 seconds. The other notable point is that it allows you to load plugins on demand, which helps reducing the startup time greatly [2] if you happened to use many number of plugins. It also provides some other nice features that pathogen or vundle do not have while still being easy to use.

> A bit off-topic, but one great Polish writer

I'll pipe up for another, the dazzlingly imaginative Bruno Schulz. His work is half an evocation of his family's life in a small early 20th-century Polish city, and half cosmic and out-there. He's like a Polish Kafka, but more whimsical, less austere. He haunts his own writing like a ghost because of his shocking death and the fact that his major work was lost. This adds poignancy to reading him that wouldn't otherwise be there, like a painting that was damaged in a way that became part of the art and made it a different whole.

Two other Polish modernists that I've been meaning for years to read are Gombrowicz (Ferdydurke) and Witkiewicz (Insatiability). Both are said to be fabulous.
