All I am saying is it's better to communicate along the lines of "let's also explore this way of building games" rather than "nobody is doing anything worth looking at, garbage collection is a no go, too much safety is bad and it's a first initiative ever just like the moon landing (which was kinda secondary to actually going to space first time anyway)".

But he is quite smart, so some arrogance could be forgiven. He is also not afraid to say some fair and true things out loud:

> "...the web is a giant pile, I don't want anything to do with it, it's all horrible; it's not an exaggeration, anything to do with web is like so broken and it's so nasty and it's so hard to do good things...".

Maybe it's a correct attitude if we ever want to get rid of legacy crud like JavaScript and HTML...
Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (November 2014)

Well I'm going to pay in phone apps and home-made chocolate. I think you will do alright on the treasure, but you might find it hard to shift the blood.
Those answers are so vague and abstract and far from a conceptual understanding from most people that have them told to me, that one comes to wonder how much they resemble the mystic explanations of the universe by priests and samans of yore in functionality.

E.g. a lot of big words that many repeat but few are supposed to understand (and even those, not that good).

SEEKING FREELANCER - Remote

I have an entirely virtual software consultancy with developers on contract around the world. We have quite a bit of work, but not enough great developers. I have had good results from HN before.

Requirements: 1) Rails 2) Any Javascript framework (we use Ember, Angular and Meteor) 3) Testing. OMG. It's so hard to find developers who write integration or unit tests.

How we work: We have Hipchat for the team where we collaborate and help each other out. We have a project manager who does lots of the client interaction and translates bugs/features into granular user stories in Pivotal Tracker.

If you're interested, hit me up here: jevin+hn@quickjack.ca
He does actually mention Go as the inspiration.

Anyway, I still much prefer RAII for this - not only for guarding against your own forgetfulness, but also to make sure a rogue refactor or patch doesn't break anything.

Is Space Tourism Ready for Takeoff? Probably Not (2004)
Pathgather - NYC - Senior/Lead Frontend Engineer (pathgather.com)

Hello HN! We’re Pathgather, a Techstars NYC 2014 startup looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer, a Javascript expert that can come in and own one of the most engaging interfaces in the enterprise market today.

Our product is an enterprise learning platform that - unlike traditional learning systems - is one employees actually want to use. We’re solving a big problem felt by almost all large and fast-growing companies: how to continuously train and educate your workforce with modern content on a system built for today’s employee. More than 75% of all companies use a Learning Management System (LMS) in hopes to help with this problem, but their > 60% dissatisfaction rate shows these systems simply don’t work. We’re changing that.

We launched earlier this year and our product is already in use by tens of thousands of employees at some of the world’s most recognizable brands: Qualcomm and HBO, to name a couple (we’re also about to launch within one of the world’s largest companies). We’re a small team, but we’ve got investment capital in the bank, real revenue coming in the door, and are now looking for the right person who is ready to take ownership of our frontend.

What we’re looking for:

* Javascript/Coffeescript expertise

* Strong experience with AngularJS

* Mastery of CSS & HTML

* UX focus

* Design skills a huge bonus

* Ruby/Rails knowledge another bonus, but certainly supplemental

What we can offer:

* A (more than) competitive salary & equity

* Opportunities to contribute to the open source community. Every Friday, you have the opportunity to work on anything open source: you can contribute to existing projects, work on your own, or open source a part of our codebase. We’ve already open sourced our recommendation and prediction engine (https://github.com/Pathgather/predictor) and would love to do more!

* An awesome team to work with, in an awesome location! We work in the Techstars NYC office with several of New York’s most promising startups.

* A chance to have a truly influential role at a company with an ambitious mission: to foster a culture of learning and continual improvement within every workforce through an engaging, rewarding, and collaborative learning platform.

If any of this sounds interesting or if you have some questions, please reach out to me at jamie@pathgather.com. Thanks!

> No. Government needs to have laws against this.

Or you could just, you know, not buy that crap, and let the market sort it out?
> let's also explore this way of building games

That's what he said, isn't it? He also actively encouraged people to write their own languages which address what they care about.

> nobody is doing anything worth looking at, garbage collection is a no go, too much safety is bad and it's a first initiative ever just like the moon landing (which was kinda secondary to actually going to space first time anyway)

Those are his views, he needs those in order to make the new language. It's similar but not equal to your judgement of JavaScript and HTML. Those things are not bad per definition, they are just something you don't happen to like. The bigger theme here is that working with things that you don't like makes you unproductive.

So yeah, it does bother me a little when he says these things so emphatically, but they're still well distinguishable from global blanket judgements because they are expressed within the context of designing the new language.
That is dangerous - you could very well be missing out on very important features all along the way without ever knowing it, wasting tons of time and productivity in process. This happens also when you directly start using an appliance without reading its manual first.
I don't think the parent comment works at Atlasssian.
I don't think that's a fair characterization. Isn't it liberals who are always saying we're part of a society? Normalizing drug use, just like the normalization of drinking, affects everyone. You can choose not to drink, but when your kid gets into high school, society's normalization of drinking forces you to deal with the social ills that result--their being pressured to drink, their friends drinking around them and the resulting behavioral changes, people driving drunk.

That's a legitimate criticism of conservatives in some areas, but not with regard to drugs. You don't have to look any further than alcohol use to see how drug use can have externalized effects.
I don't think he meant an import tax, or a special sales tax on the drugs. But rather, the "now legal" drug would form part of the normal taxation framework (profit, income, whatever flavor your country has).

The problem with the fake cigarettes sort of scenario you cite is one that is caused by a special sales tax. The sales tax, as I'm sure you already know, artificially increases the value of the product. It also creates a larger "price" differential between regions/countries that encourages illicit smuggling and counterfeiting.

If you ask me, such a targeted tax is a cruel double-tax on the individuals we are "punishing" for doing something "we" find morally-offensive, and have post-justified as a health-concern. On the one hand, they pay more for the product, and on the other hand the state has now created a potentially harmful/lethal market of that product. Triple-taxed, even, if you consider that the higher cost reduces accessibility of this product to the poorer members of society, driving them to crime/desperation to get it, or resorting to the fake-alternatives created by the new black market.

(I am strongly in favor of legalizing all victimless crimes, and allowing individuals full control over their own bodies.)

Can also happen while tired. Especially for languages that you are not fluent in.
The reason that I used redis here is because I wanted it to work even if you scheduled the thing in cron, or have it work when you restarted the process and not give any false messages. Also, putting things in redis makes it easier to integrate it with something else, e.g. a UI, without really having to tool anything.

But yes, at this point it doesn't really need to use redis and if you don't already have a redis-server running it's a bit of unnecessary work to get the proof of concept working.
It's quite a good CMS. Lots of modules that let it be easily extended. Has a cli management tool (drush) that allows for a lot of automation. Non-coders can build complex content sorting and display pages with Views, etc.

It is a bit of a culture shock if you're using to spewing your PHP all over everything ala other lesser blogging tools, but once you've got your head wrapped around how it works internally, you can be very productive and do things that would be difficult/impossible in other systems with almost no code.
SEEKING FREELANCER - REMOTE ONLY - based in Slovenia

Looking for Web developers who enjoy building tools for web developers.

Our product Pinegrow Web Editor (http://pinegrow.com) is a desktop app that lets users build responsive websites faster with live multi-page editing, CSS styling and smart components for Bootstrap, Foundation, AngularJS and other frameworks. It is packaged with node-webkit and runs on Mac, Windows and Linux.

Web developers from more than 100 countries use Pinegrow. Here's what they are saying about it:

"Pinegrow is my discovery of the month! Makes sophisticated web page creation brilliantly easy, visual and exemplary clean. A Must Buy!" - "It's the best visual #html #css #bootstrap editor I've seen." - "Severe competition for Dreamweaver. Pinegrow - an entirely different and very efficient approach." - "An amazing app. Seriously fantastic experience. I think this one-ups Macaw even."

We launched Pinegrow in January 2014. It's a bootstrapped product. Now it's the time to expand the team and accelerate development and marketing.

We're hiring one or more web developers who are good in:
- HTML, CSS, LESS, SASS, responsive stuff
- JavaScript
- frameworks like Bootstrap, Foundation...
- explaining how things work, creating tutorials and writing articles
- helping users
- writing in English

Bonus points if you have:
- graphic & web design skills and experience
- Node.js experience
- good spoken English (clear, without hard accent)
- familiarity with Pinegrow

This position is great if you enjoy working on variety of different tasks without a Dilbert-esque boss constantly looking over your shoulder. Your job would be extending Pinegrow support for various frameworks, building reusable web components, improving UX, creating documentation, tutorials and helping users use our products. You would be involved in the whole cycle of product development: from idea to implementation, testing, launching, supporting customers, marketing...

It would be great if you can work with us full-time from the start. First we would do a one-month pilot project (paid, of course) and if that works out fine for all of us, continue to work together.

We are (and plan to remain) small fast-moving remote-team-only company without office politics, micromanagement and useless meetings. Our focus is on building a great product that helps users save their time and effort.

Pinegrow has strong potential. It is extendable, so many interesting add-on products and services can be built around it. This is a good opportunity to get involved with Pinegrow at the very beginning of the journey.

Our company Humane Technologies is based in Slovenia, EU.

There is code in there to pull the arp table and use that, but it's commented out because I never found a good way to determining how long things stay in the ARP cache.

I think the issue was that although Tim Cook was not secretive about being gay, he had never publicly spoken about it. The CNBC guy got a lot of flak, but as many mentioned, there are several other places where Cook was identified as a gay man before that clip, so the backlash was a little unfair. It can be awkward to differentiate between public knowledge and "open secrets" when someone hasn't officially come out.
