That's just a circular way of saying "x86 is more popular, therefore better." Which doesn't address the person aboves' point that x86 is inferior in terms of its design.

Of course x86 is going to be faster per dollar spent. One is mass market (x86-64) and the other two are hugely niche (Sparc and Power). Plus the Linux kernel has by far the most human-hours spent on its development relative to every other operating system in the world.

There's also a reason why some of x86's market share has been eaten up by ARM. Moving from x86 to ARM was hugely expensive by all measures, but it was worthwhile because x86 was so wasteful.

Ask HN: How I avoid impending bank account doom?
Hello HN

I have a problem: My startup ran out of ramen+rent money... It can pay its own fixed bills (servers, weather service API, etc...) but nothing more.

The other founders had jobs before joining the startup, and returned to their jobs, but I was jobless, and in severe debt (that thankfully now is mostly paid!)

I am trying to get a job, and get freelance gigs, but I never had a freelance gig before, and the jobs that use my skills are not in my country (Brazil), and the jobs in my country that I can do are scarce and don't pay well, specially because our economy is tanking hard (national inflation of 6% for the past few years, and GDP growth averaging 1%, this year the government expects a growth of 0.7%, but several market specialists expects negative growth).

Right now what I am doing is keep working on my startup (our flagship product is ALMOST 100% done), and I am studying on coursera and whatnot skills that might be more relevant to my country, and I am applying in the most popular job site for all jobs I am barely qualified for.

But I already ran out of money and I am now living on selling BTC I bought when I had a normal job 4 years ago... that will not last long, so what I do? I don't want to get evicted (I live in a rented apartment), and cannot really expect my parents to help (the government defaulted their clients, that defaulted they in turn, and thus now they have some absolutely crazy debts, if Brazil had personal bankruptcy they probably would have used it already).
Backend Ruby Developer / Data Geek - Charlie - Chicago, IL

* We go out and do fun things (concerts, Bulls & Cubs games, and occasionally ski in Colorado)

Requirements:

* Back-end developer, front-end is a plus

* Ruby on Rails preferred, but you can learn.

* DB experience (SQL or NoSQL?)

National Climatic Data Center - http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov - Asheville, North Carolina

Scientific software developer, full-time

NCDC is the world's largest active archive of weather and climate data, and a leading source of climate research. I'm part of a new project that aims to take some of the key software here and bring it in line with modern software standards (a lot of it has grown organically over many years, and has been mostly written by scientists, not professional developers). In some cases that means rewriting it; in others it may mean surrounding it with better infrastructure: automated tests, better configuration management, better deployment practices, thorough documentation etc. It's a small team (you'd be the fourth dev), and a really strong one. We care a lot about bringing better software practices to our day to day work (for the sake of our own sanity and morale) and to NCDC as a whole (because the global climate record deserves nothing less).

We're looking for someone who's smart, passionate, and likes making important things better. You've got to be comfortable picking up new languages on the fly, and new domain knowledge as well. Good (English-language) communication skills are a must. Some background in the physical sciences or scientific software would serve you well, as would experience with large refactoring and rewriting projects. Decisions about languages and tools are being made on a project-by-project basis, and you'd be a big part of those decisions (all else being equal, we have a fondness for Python, but performance and user community buy-in have a big effect on language choice for these projects). You should be able to get behind the idea of using best-practice approaches for projects where reliability and long-term viability matter a lot.

Asheville (http://www.exploreasheville.com/) is an amazing little mountain city nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains. It's a fantastic place to live. You could think of it as a smaller version of Portland, OR and not get it too wrong, although it's definitely got a character all its own.

Please feel free to contact me with questions (eggdavisjs(at)novonon(dot)com), or you can apply for the position at http://gst.iapplicants.com/ViewJob-624553.html . No H1B or remote.

> A law is a written order, adding the remainder is just an inflammatory accusation that undermines the public at large.

Undermines the public how?

> A particular rule of law may be arduous today

"Rule of law" is a misnomer. It's actually rule by those who decide what the laws are. That would be the "elected representatives", ie. politicians of course.

In other words, politicians are our rulers because they make the rules that are ultimately enforced at gunpoint, if you don't feel like obeying at first.

But a law is just text somewhere. But even if the text contains a decree on what everyone must or must not do, that alone does not change people's behaviour one bit.

For example, if I write down on a piece of paper that you have to give 30% of your income to me, will you do it? OK, what if I threaten you with imprisonment if you don't?
Yes, but Public Universities tend to be much cheaper than the other options.

The University I attended charges $6,000 per year in tuition, plus about another $1,000 in fees. Of course, you'd have to pay housing and food costs on top of that, which if you live on campus, ends up being about $10,000 a year, or less if you live off campus.
That's just what brudgers said. But don't worry, CPU and GPU manufacturers are increasing the number of cores exponentially :p

ShareLaTeX - UK, full-time, remote, first non-founder developer.

Help us empower scientists by building usable research tools.

We’re looking for a full stack web developer to join us as employee number 1 at ShareLaTeX (www.sharelatex.com). Our flagship product is an online LaTeX editor that makes it trivial to get started with LaTeX and collaborate with your colleagues. Students and scientists love us, and now we’re looking to expand our team so that we can solve similar workflow problems in data analysis and numerical modelling (using Python and R).

You should be comfortable quickly learning new technologies and enthusiastic about improving the efficiency of scientists and their tools. Our current technology stack involves Node.js, MongoDB, Redis, Coffeescript, Angular.js, and Docker, so experience in these is useful but not required. We’d rather see that you have demonstrable interest in the problems we are solving, and that you’ve created some great stuff in the past.

Some reasons you'd enjoy working for us:

* Around 80% of our codebase is open-source and we’re big fans of free software.

* We’re agile (with a lower case a). We test everything (unit and acceptance), we have a CI build process, a full staging environment to play with, and we automate as much as possible.

* We don’t expect you to have to fill up a 9-5, 40 hour work week. A work/life balance is important and we don’t think programming is an activity that can be neatly time boxed.

* You can work fully remotely (in fact, you probably will). The founders work remotely already.

* We’re a bootstrapped company with no outside investors.

76 of 79 Deceased NFL Players Found to Have Brain Disease
That was me one year ago.

I just graduated and I must say - I am really glad I did. It has been frustrating, exhausting and driving me mad for the most part of it.

I was working two jobs and attending the uni at the same time while having a normal relationship - all at the same time. It was getting harder and harder, no free time, no weekends no nothing, no me time. I have felt helpless and I was going to give up twice. The university was boring and I couldn't focus on the stuff we were doing there because it was to easy, and the way we were learning it was... not suitable for me.

Talk with people, it helps. You will feel frustrated for most of it, but I must say - it is really worth it. It is just a year, it would be a shame to lose the previous years.
I promised myself that I will do it. And I stuck it out, got my "let's d this" hat on, kept the jobs, finished uni and now doing a gap year before my masters - I need a break. It will pass, talk to your girlfriend, and relax - it seems like an impossible thing to do, but you will be glad once you graduate.
They spell out the requirements for getting on the list - one of the valid ways to qualify is basically just being a webhost that uses Xen.
It adds up. More and more applications are that fat. My system drive is 1 TB, and I am a point in which I need to judge which application is worthy of taking space. I agree that 400 MB for an editor is a tad too much.
WePay.com - Palo Alto, CA - Full-time (Relocation assistance provided)

WePay is looking for talented and motivated software engineers to join our rapidly expanding team. Our transaction volume has more than tripled year-over-year, and we need your help to scale our customers’ payments to even higher levels over the next few years. We are eager to grow our team of engineers who love programming, take pride in the quality of their code, and are at least decent at ping pong (rock climbing is a nice-to-have).

Requirements:

You must be a great coder that loves to write efficient and maintainable code. We believe that great coders can adapt to whichever new language they need to, whether it’s Java, Python, PHP, Javascript, C++, Scala, Ruby, or any other SEO-optimized buzzword, so we don’t care what background you have (unless you have solely coded in brainfxck). And in fact, we have outgrown our current PHP-MySQL environment and are in the process of architecting our next-generation service-oriented architecture, so we will be excited to make full use of your experience and perspectives as we select the right tools for the job.

You must be able to take complete ownership over a bug, feature, or entire project and drive it to completion. We have to trust that each of our team members can work in relative independence because we hate micro-managing.

You must be open-minded, flexible, and have a pragmatic approach to solving problems. The payments industry can be baffling at times, so we value people who can persevere and continue to make progress with a positive attitude.

One or more of the following specialized skills would be awesome:

* Front-end expertise, including JavaScript, CSS, AngularJS

* Back-end expertise, including extensive database experience

* High Availability and Distributed Systems

* Big Data experience, including Hadoop and/or Storm

* Machine Learning and Modelling

* Experience in Risk and Fraud Detection

* Experience in payments and PCI compliance

* Expertise in Security

* Team Lead experience

If you have any interest or questions about WePay, please contact me directly at steven at wepay.com. I'm an engineer, not a recruiter, so your email will get a response.
Not only the start up time, it seems to hog memory and bog down my Macbook Air (4GB) after using it for awhile. I'm not entirely sure if it was the length of time I had Atom open or the size of the project. I usually have Chrome running with a small Vagrant box. After a few hours it was unbearably slow to even switch between open files.

I closed Atom and my memory pressure dropped considerably. Installed Brackets and the pressure is still low even with Chrome and a box running yet.

This probably isn't an issue for people with 8+ GB of ram though, unless it actually has a memory leak.

Stronger shoulders carry larger burdens, and all that.

In the Netherlands, for example, >50% of income tax is received from the 10% highest earners. So it's not unreasonable to expect a high earner to contribute accordingly.

Awesome! Very excited to use the hacker plan on some smaller sites.
I'd say you are correct.

How is this different from just having a commercial and non-commercial license? At least then people don't get locked out of features by not paying.
In the University of Warsaw, Poland, the only compulsory fees are $30 for registration, and $35 to get your diploma nicely bound. Well, come to think of it, you can even skip the binding.
It depends heavily on where you go, but large and popular public schools can still be very expensive in the US. Here's an example of the cost breakdown at one such school:

http://admissions.missouri.edu/costs-and-aid/costs/index.php

Even more popular public schools like UCLA tend to be about $10k/year more:

http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/budget.htm

Just to give you an idea of the cost of, say, Harvard...

https://college.harvard.edu/financial-aid/how-aid-works/cost...

Do note that extremely wealthy private institutions like Harvard tend to be correspondingly generous with financial aid, so the number there is likely not representative of what you'd actually pay unless you came from a very rich family (as a fair number of Harvard students do).
