I've learned a bit about a Watson from internal IBM information and this is something they understand and are working on. There are serious ethical concerns about what to tell someone, even if the diagnosis is quite compelling, IOW, "you have 6 months to live" needs to come from a human.
Obviously, the approach is to have it work as a tool for a doctor, not as a WebMD type self-diagnosis service. There are all kinds of follow-up questions, which you'd need to be a doctor to even answer, because they'd be couched in medical lingo e.g. systolic/diastolic blood pressure.
In case it's useful for anyone, here is a gist of a gulpfile I use to use Istanbul to instrument my Node.js app, then run tests with Mocha and output the results:

>For example, sometimes you'll get Unicode code points, but sometimes you'll get bytes of UTF-8.

This isn't true, you only get code points when you convert to []rune, I'm not aware of any situation where you would magically get codepoints.

>If any thread runs in an infinite loop that doesn't call built in functions, the entire runtime will freeze.

This is not true, since 1.3 all function calls can potentially yield. Also it only happened if you had as many goroutines running infinite loops as you had kernel threads.
> SSDs as a whole have moved into a space where I don't really need to worry about them being signifiantly less reliable than hard drives

The majority of SSD reliability problems never had anything do with flash endurance. You can tell this from the failure mode too: all the data disappears. Instead, they are caused by firmware and design bugs that cause occasional corruption of the FTL internals.

Regular benchmark-style IO patterns aren't a good way to tickle these bugs so the endurance test doesn't really say anything about this main problem.

I would not believe any of the numbers in that article.

Just look at the numbers for Paris vs Munich. Paris is higher in everything but is ranked one behind Munich.
For code length maybe. But for performance I'd find that questionable. For most things you don't need all the performance you can get from the machine. If clicking a button spends 100 cycles too many, who cares? Performance is something where you investigate when you have a problem and then optimize the part that is problematic. Sure, if performance out of the box is inacceptable and cannot even be optimized, the language should probably not used at all.

But for idiomatic code I'd find speed of execution a questionable benchmark, simply because you rarely find idiomatic code in performance-critical places. That holds for C as well as for Java. There are all sorts of rules that have to be followed to make code fast, such as no allocations in the hot path, etc. that don't usually hold for normal code.
Beautiful interface, the Istanbul trip looks awe-inspiring..
"Marketing people" is one of the most egregious generalization errors on HN.

That was the case for me as well, back when I moved to Munich in 2012. It also helps if you speak at least some German(I didn't), and send emails in German(just ask some colleague or friend to fill it for you). Also, in the end(it took me roughly 3 months to find apartment) I just had a stack of papers which basically would tell everything about me. I dunno if it helps, but I have heard Germans like bureaucracy.
Surely it's exactly why you might ask that — admittedly as a semi-trick question, which you should probably only direct at experienced people who really ought to recognise it as such.

Email validation is a problem with a lot of plausible answers — many of them wrong — so it has the potential to be quite a good discriminant (depending on whom you're trying to hire, of course).

Hating on "marketing people" isn't just an HN thing, I think. I'm fairly sure most people hate marketers, particularly because it's their job to try and part you from your money. In fact, on HN we are probably more lenient because we are some of the people that are interested in separating people from their cash.

> 1. Early-stage startup teams cannot afford to handle the hardware fragmentation that plagues Android.

You have a full stack of iOS devices, too, maybe even more expensive. It's a point if you develop quite near hardware features or want to do pixel-perfect designs without auto-layout, but that's difficult for iOS, too, these days. A messenger app is really not that device specific.

> 2. Study after study demonstrates iOS users are not only growing in key geographies, but are more valuable customers.

If it's about hype and money, you might be right, but if you just need users with a much more social diversity, Android is likely on your side.

> 3. iPhone 5c and future low cost models will likely steal share from Android relative to yesterday.
Dunno. You say "likely", too, so why is that even considered as a top 3 argument?

Nevertheless, the most important point here is: It's a messenger. For teams. You don't want split between iOS and Android devices and Talko itself sees this as negative point:

> (The corporate beta testers I spoke with sighed wistfully when reporting that a couple of team members could not participate because they didn’t use iPhones.) “We can’t build a business on this until we have all of the above,” says Ozzie, who wanted to make sure his engineers aced the iPhone first; [...]

And the problem with "languages for those who can't" is the rise in off-shoring and erosion of working conditions for everyone involved, in both sides.

Not targeting any specific language, as I imagine all of us that went through this, have own hard earned war scars.

Also, it has never been cheaper to make a movie, distribute it and fund it. On a kickstarter budget you could certainly make a film, as people have done in the past. Then, you can see if people want to watch the movie before you make it. Many people don't want to watch low budget indie documentaries, however the ones's that do are often willing to pay.

I do not know about the situation in Munich, but I spent lots of time looking for a place in Bonn last year and from my experience the approach from the article has one serious flaw:

While the real estate websites offer contact forms to send e-mails, many people hate dealing with e-mails. Landlords and even "professional" real estate agents often ignore e-mails. Sometimes it is because of the sheer volume they get, but I suspect often it is just that they never really adapted to the medium.

Many (most?) ads include a phone number. And I have had far better results by calling than by sending an e-mail. You should of course be one of the first people to call...
Sure, and it wouldn't be the first advertisement strategy predicated on fooling people. I just think that any goodwill associated with handwriting will quickly evaporate and on top of that it will make their marketing copy less legible (handwriting takes more effort to scan/skim). I'd say it's a lose-lose situation.

A startup can easily take 10 years from funding to the point where it's purchased or no longer needing more investment.
My first business was founded in 1995 before being sold (for decent money - e.g a successful outcome) in 2011. Was the business still a startup after 10 years? I would argue yes. There were still many ups and downs, funding challenges, near-death experiences etc, and our culture was still largely that of a startup business.

Even if you consider the massive tech IPOs and classic success stories, the timeline between incorporation and IPO is pretty long. Microsoft was founded in 1972 and IPO'd in 1986. Google took 9 years from incorporation to IPO, and it was 8 years from Zuck launching 'thefacebook' until the Facebook IPO. I think this backs up Sam's assertion that a startup is a 10 year commitment for a founder.

I really dislike this mentality. I think it's counterproductive, and I hope you change your mind.

Laws play their role. Sometimes they walk fine lines between usefulness, uselessness and harmfulness, but they are not unequivocally useless in all such cases. Consider the gay awakening. When I was in high school the world was a qualitatively different place for homosexuals. A worse place.

The axis around which culture has pivoted on this and other issues, is difficult to name. But, an important part of it is just defining, explaining, defending (and sometimes even legislating) what is by our standards an asshole position. If you are so hung up on the idea that men are shagging each other in this world that it affects how you interact with people, you are an asshole. Society says so.

To this day, many non assholes are uncomfortable with gays. Maybe it's conservatism, cultural habit, latent homosexuality, whatever. But, if you're talking to an intelligent young person chances are they'll think of you as a crazy asshole if you start making fidgety mean statements about gays. That's the cultural change and it's a powerful force.

Legislation is a part of that. Perfectly enforceable or not, it allows an avenue for enforcement of blatant cases and formalizes the moral position of our time. Thou shall not be a crazy asshole that gets bent out of shape around the idea of a gay neighbor.

Legislation's role in this is sometime minor, sometimes major and sometimes ineffective. I have no illusions about what legislation can achieve without the winds of change at its back.

But, there is such a thing as our society.

Judging from the Robot letter in the article, the easiest way to spot a robot-penned letter would be that specific words are all the same. Look at the word 'the' in the picture, or even the 'th' in 'this'. They're all identical.

The robot seems to be working from just a small pool of characters.

Some sort of randomisation algorithm would work well here, varying the size, weight and slant or jitter of each letter would at least make it appear more random, and harder to spot.

Having said that, if you are someone who works on this sort of invention, please take a long, hard look at what you're doing with your life and consider just how this invention is contributing to the advancement of mankind.

Suggesting that offshoring is a result of languages that are "too easy" is both insulting to those who work offshore, and totally inaccurate.

There's plenty of off-shore C++ programmers, and I doubt anyone would say that's an easy language.

And yes, offshored work is almost always of poor quality, but I actually think this is due to the inherent problem with paying people to write a product that they are not fully invested in. The same thing happens with contract work done in your own country. If the developers don't work for your company, they don't have your culture and they don't know your business. This is compounded by the communication inefficiencies from being outside your trusted mediums.

I have seen pay-for-code (contracting, offshore or not) fail many times. The only times I have seen it succeed is when the contractors are hired to work for the company directly, are taken inside its boundaries, and given full access to the company communication facilities and culture. But then, they may as well be regular employees.

None of this has anything to do with the language being used. As they say, you can write bad code in any language, and even the best code doesn't help if it's not doing the right thing.
I know that theory, but I suspect it doesn't apply to these faux personal messages.

There's certainly a good amount of racism in Munich (it's really best for a lot of people that you can't understand most drunks around here), and realtors generally aren't the creme of the crop of basic goodness anyway.

But I think a part of it comes down to a higher chance of young people with Arab names either being students (short-term, prone to be loud and messy no matter where they're from) or more likely to bring in additional residents. And most landlord's I've known would prefer if nobody would live at all in the apartment at all...

Perhaps. But working 4000 hours a year, and producing 4000 billable hours a year, aren't the same thing. There's lots of "fluff" that goes into running a business. Sure, if you can show me someone that are able to produce quality code for 4000 hours a year, that'd be great. But sounds like the EA death marches to me. On the other hand those games, bugs and all, do rack in a tidy profit. So maybe I'm wrong, and you can throw shit at people for a year, and still have them come back for more shitty code the next year?

As a kid, when I used to write on white paper, my lines used to slope and I used to throw them in the trash and try again. Over time, underneath the white sheet of paper, I started placing another paper that has lines and a margin, so I can see through the white paper and know where exactly I should write. The result was perfectly straight lines and a perfect margin.
