Yeah, I think they're a mistake in Scala too. Hopefully I'm wrong.

I think "the primitive" is a good characterization; I view writing a macro the same way I view using a mutex directly, or as I said, goto (or, less trollishly, manually expressing a program in continuation-passing-style). That is, these things are occasionally necessary, but it's usually a sign that your higher-level constructs are inadequate.
Sorry about that. Removed.
Not sure about that (haven't used yarn however), YARN seems extremely Hadoop specific, whereas Mesos is a "closer to the metal" generic framework to build frameworks for scheduling things on.

If I was to compare the two, I'd call YARN an application scheduler and Mesos a more meta scheduler. You could build yarn ontop of Mesos. You likely couldn't easily build Mesos ontop of Yarn. It should be relatively trivial to make a YARN Framework, which someone has already done with Mesos:

My team is a mix of 2 and 3, we have comp sci, math, actuarial, engineering and physics people with about an even split. Oh and one quant dev who was a medical doctor but found programming more fun. So it's all sorts.
I would really like to see one too if anyone has a good example?
Product demos have a different target audience than, say, the TV ads that Google also buys for Google services (nominally, Chrome or Android, but both, particularly the former, often are more highlighting functionality of service than the product nominally advertised.)

I would suggest that the audience of product demos are people for whom need for flight information is more frequent than the average user.
Would require an extra roundtrip... Problem is that you get challenges with client side and solve it with server side. It's website who should go, get a challenge for you, put it in your session cookie and make sure you don't go and get another one. Which complicates it a lot
>People with college degrees earn significantly more over their lifetimes.

This is almost certainly due to people with college degrees having more racial and economic privilege than people without college degrees. Controlling for this I'd doubt the difference was that large.

>Also, they usually understand the world and critical thinking much better, have better communication skills, etc

This is probably the just-world fallacy.

People who can waste money on higher education, especially during a sustained "recession"/depression, are people who already have money and connections.

It's never been about what you know, it's been about who you know. College is a good way to buy those connections.

If you start seeing rosy pictures of the world, you should notice that and correct for it. The world is not a rosy place. For any question that fits the template "Does X fulfill its direct stated purpose?" the answer is almost certainly no.

Notice that the sea change we're seeing doesn't actually amount to a paradigm shift. It's not like people from the economic class prevented from getting college degrees now can afford to fuck around on Udacity and "hustle" to get a job. Don't worry, there's no more equality now.

So I had this stale app in the Play Store for over 6 months. I just didnt feel like updating since I hate Andrdoid UI design. And yesterday I got your announcement email. Too bad I was at work. 5PM comes around, I rush home, download supersonic and re-wrote the whole app in 30 minutes! I <3 you!

Seconded. "Mathematics for the Million" is an incremental, bottom-up approach to learning Mathematics. It should be an interesting read for those fond of history.
But hey, it must have been a fun, taxpayer-subsidized ride. Or as a certain person in the industry once famously said: "As long as the music's playing, you've got to get up and dance", right?

I did read it. My point is, you, or I, or anyone for that matter does not know the inner details of how it works.

And those who down vote something that is so blatantly funny to my inner 12 year old as "Homo Erectus" need to stop taking themselves so seriously. I really gotta wonder why the people who came up with these names didnt put a little thought into what they were saying. Homo Erectus?!?!? That is hilarious...
Thank you very much for taking time to post many elaborate, useful comments! I straight away went and purchased "Real Mathematical Analysis" thanks to your recommendation.

> One thing to keep in mind: do not be mislead by similar notation between mathematics and physics: they are very, very different subjects.

This has always bothered me especially while tackling analysis. Isn't analysis' origin rooted in Physics problems? At least that's the sense I get while reading various introduction to analysis chapters/videos. But when I read initial few sections of Rudin I almost got into an enlightened state when he introduces metric spaces which are so abstract but also make sense intuitively. I'm bit confused.
Because you get to work on really interesting math problems, in an environment that isn't stingy with pay or equipment and has clear objective measures of what things are important for the business?
Amazon Expanded Far Beyond Retail as Bezos Took on More Rivals
Software Development Life Cycle: Applying Consultancy Scrum
I'm no expert but I believe most modern javascript engines now compile Javascript JIT. In fact I think Apple recently added LLVM to their Javascript engine.

Node.js runs Javascript local to the machine in the V8 engine, which compiles it. As I understand it, that is architecturally analogous to running Java locally in the JVM. So I think that practically speaking, Javascript and Java are not so different from one another in how they access the hardware resources of the machine.
"a line-up of mostly white male executives"

What's the point in such a statement?
I have been working remote for two years now. The office is 800 miles away and I stop in four times a year to say hello.

My experience has been that a good number of smaller companies in smaller cities (U.S. Midwest, cities with populations under 100,000), that just can't find local talent and so reluctantly pick up remote workers to fill their ranks.

As another poster said. It is lonely. I pay for a co-working office out of pocket so I can get out of the house. If most of the team is in-house and management didn't really "want" to be managing a remote team, then you end up being treating as a kind of necessary evil whose sidelined and left out of the loop most of the time.
As far as I know, veracity is no longer developed. The list has been dead for a long time (last post over a year ago), and the last release is 20 months old.

A shame, really, because they were at least trying new things in places.

Microservice Infrastructure as a Service
Nobody, but that's not a problem with namespaces. Just a problem that they didn't specify a default.

Treat them like namespaces aka packages aka modules in programming languages and I don't see a downside. Import what you need, allowing defaults. You're able to override terms if you really need to with stacked imports. You're able to use conflicting terms by specifying the namespace. You're able to alias namespaces to convenient short-hand. i.e.:

<acme:video>
<src>https://blah</src>
</acme:video>

Yes writing "html:" explicitly everywhere seems pretty silly. When the domain's primary purpose is writing HTML, that should obviously be the default/root namespace.

But adding support for alternatives on top of that...? Not seeing the evil there.
If you're smart enough to build something that 50k web

I have the feeling you cannot go anywhere these days without hearing about how amazing Microservices are. I'm pretty sure it is not the silver bullet everybody is looking for ;-) But still, the idea is compelling. For me one problem with microservices is the orchestration, coordination or whatever you want to call the way they interact with each other. The folks at Giant Swarm have come up with an idea how to tackle this problem. Backed by Docker you have the facility to create apps composed of those microservices.

At least for me it was a good way to dive into microservices and Docker. Bonus: They super nice and very open to feedback :-)

I do like following the terrain; it's just a bit much at a few points during the panorama. It's 90% perfect. Maybe you could split the difference between terrain and helicopter.

Any plans to add non-resort mountains?

While I'm throwing out feature requests, it would be really cool to see the surrounding terrain from certain points on the mountain. I'd love to see what a skier sees from the top of the mountain.
In my experience in finance it's all about the interviewer showing the interviewee how smart she is.

There's smart quants/programmers/traders/etc and people good at solving brainteasers. You need the former, but people who use brainteasers in the interview process typically only find the small sliver of overlap in the venn diagram.
Boosting throughput with redis pipelining and scripting
Tell HN: Thank you for interface change
I've noticed that in the old days here on Hacker News that if I submitted an article with its original title (which is always the preference here) and the title was long, the error message would just tell me that the title had to be no longer than 80 characters. Now when an article is submitted with a longer title, the error message helpfully announces how many characters are in the title as submitted, helping all of us know how many characters to trim out of a title to make it fit the forum software limit. That's a helpful change. Thanks. Maybe in discussion here, if you please, we can list any other recent interface changes we have noticed.
These days, companies keep trying to control a whole stack. Buy music from our store, use our software to play it, sync it to our devices. Buy ebooks from our store and read them on our reader.

I like your approach: pick the best thing in each category and use them together. A dumb TV with a good picture, getting video from a video input source of my choosing. An ebook in a standard format, read on whatever I want to use.

The short-term convenience that a "complete ecosystem" provides is often a giant pain the long run.

Could you spell it out? Because the words "bias" or "belief" don't appear above this comment as of right now (and I've read them all in detail)...and I'd like to know what the snark you're point is :) You seem to be saying that whatever the bias or belief is, it's probably illogical. Is that correct?
I have a history of sites like that too. None of them ever made any money. I finally bit the bullet and started working on one site that does something that I charge money for: http://www.liberwriter.com

It's not perfect in a lot of ways - no recurring revenue - but it's done way better than any of those fun projects ever have, in terms of making money. I've also learned a lot more because I have real customers that get angry if things go wrong, or are very happy when things go right because I'm solving something that's a real problem for them.
I believe all that. Still, its more per-megawatt calculating. Are large farms installed using automated processes (large prefab panels, cranes etc)? Then the per-worker death rates may be significantly affected by the roofers, who are likely numerous.
I understand that it probably doesn't work with the intended aesthetic, but I kept looking for a "make it go" button, because using a nub-mouse to wind the gear around repeatedly is hard.
Technically it should work on mobile, as long as they support WebGL, which for example iOS8 devices mostly do. That said, the current version, was built with desktop in mind. As such, the experience will likely not be great on mobile, and the UX will definitely need tweaking to work better there.

For somebody that wants a career on electronics? "Sure" is not enough to express it... Your question is almost equivalent to "Is it worth it to spend time studying electronics"? The only thing I don't knwo is if the book goes deep enough, or if he'll need another couple of them.

Now, if he wanted only to get good at the software realm, I'd recommend a more superficial understanding of calculus, saving time to study discrete math and CS (that are mostly the same thing in different languages).

Anyway, I'd also recommend algebra to both specialities, to be learned at the same time as calculus and discrete math. It'll make the learning easier.

The problem with AWS reserved instances is their limitations on modification later http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ri-modify... -- if you grow and need more capacity, you're kinda stuck unless you have Amazon Linux AMI. It would be nice if you could upgrade RDS instance, for example -- but I don't think that is possible.
That's when you maybe reconsider hiring 800 employees behind the success of a single mobile game.
I would still prefer

(select :/name, :/salary from :employees where :/division = division)

I don't think these additional parentheneses add enough value to justify people learning another reinvention of sql.

It should be possible to make it accept regular sql syntax, just with added /column for table columns and referencing variables from inside.

Anyway, nice work.

Reminds me a bit of http://platform.qbix.com which we built to power social apps (on all devices).

One tip: if you're going to make it for business, have the demo document the keyboard shortcuts to get around quickly, like in gmail. Ideally your "front end framework" could have a controller that would accept a keymap object like {"a": "actionName", "r": "someOtherAction"} etc.
I don't think programming or electronics require you have advanced mathematical knowledge. Can you cite an example of things you got stumped on?
If this is Amazon trying to compete with Google's pricing scheme, they missed. Google's sustained use discounts just happen, and give you a discount on whatever time you used. With Amazon's new pricing for reserved instances, any reserved instance you buy (upfront fee or not) commits you to pay an hourly fee regardless of whether the instance is running now.

They removed the light/medium reserved instance options where you paid a discounted usage rate, and now just have 3 ways of purchasing a heavy reserved instance.

This is going to raise prices for us on AWS because we won't be able to use reservations for the instances we autoscale so the current medium reservations we have are going to be on-demand now.

The broad strokes of making money from a tight, commercially relevant audience: collect their email addresses by promising you'll send them something valuable, send them something valuable, continue doing so, offer them the opportunity to purchase something one step more advanced than that for a meaningful amount of money.

This may or may not be achievable from the position you're in, since "50k visitors across a portfolio of websites" is possibly quite different in character from "50k highly paid professionals with congruent interests who make a habit of coming to your site to solve a problem which implies the existence of a second problem that has an active market in solutions available and lots of money sloshing around in customer acquisition budgets among them."

All of the sub phrases there suggest valuable things to shoot for in new projects, by the way. Given the choice between a website which could be used by anyone in St. Louis or anyone in a well-paid profession of equivalent size, pick the second. Given the choice of serving nail artists or lawyers, pick lawyers. Given the choice of solving a problem which is peripheral to their interests or one which is more central, pick the central one. Given the choice of "totally noncommercializable" versus "abuts a very commercial field", pick the second one. etc
50k visitors is not the same as 50k visitors that are all web developers. What patio11 is saying is that you need to either add more value to your product, or make sure your simple product is used by people that see value in your product.

This is nearly three years old, and certainly has been mentioned before on HN, even if not actually submitted (although I was sure it had been submitted as an item in its own right.)

I created sendtodropbox.com (email attachments to Dropbox) as a side project about 3 years ago. After the initial prototype, two-ish rewrites, and monetizing it with a freemium model, it's now got 1100 paying subscribers and brought in $20k in revenue this year. I did the whole thing myself (aside from the website template design, which a buddy of mine helped out with). This doesn't technically fall under the "informative value" category, but going solo on a project to make it profitable is definitely possible.
I second this, we almost never use brainteasers but they can be useful for seeing how people think about solving problems. Once people have 2+ years of experience it becomes less relevant because it's more useful to talk about actual work they've done rather than some puzzles.
