Nice analysis. The last paragraph has an interesting idea worth pursuing.

However, all those who seek and read negative news may not be craving for action. I think it is more of a craving for interesting things or shocking things which "jolt" the brain.

Are there any tools to create a single binary from JavaScript (using Duktape or some other embeddable JS engine)? I am thinking about the deployment scenario here. In its current form Duktape shipping a binary and a JS file separately. Is there a way to “compile” the JS file into the C file and produce a single binary?

Is this preference influenced at all by where the money goes? You seem to state that you want to keep your whole check regardless (which is reasonable), and yet you feel you have a stake in how it is spent after it has been taken from you against your will.
it's pretty trivial to do that - just define a macro and use it to insert the contents of a .js file into the .c file, and use it as a string like in the sample program.

I think it's a bit different. Woz saw the great potential for the hardware he was making, and said that the only thing he wanted was a computer, something he actually wanted to use. With that motivation and excitement I can see how you'd want it to be perfect.

I'd say I wish more people had things they were so passionate about that what they were making felt to them it was more than just 'software', or 'hardware'. If you are making a product purely to make money, I don't think this mindset would be there, but if the product exists as something bigger (in Apples case, Jobs saw it as a 'bicycle for your mind', it wasn't just a computer). I like to think if you allowed the people just slamming libraries together till something runs something they were truly passionate about, things may play out differently. But iono :p

Depends on how much the tumor mutates down the line. Most immunologic therapies and actions are based on specific markers antibodies can latch on to to mark cancer cells for destruction.

Just taking a wild stab out to left field, the skin component of your reaction might be related to some sort of allergic-ish reaction to the mouse component of the cetusimab.

They certainly biased their own readership by announcing the editorial agenda ahead of time. It would have been far more interesting to do this unannounced and then inspect the results.

That's what I got from his comment too.

But the first difference (with bikeshedding) is that bikeshedding is not "doing the tooling around the power plant instead of the plant itself" but spending time discussing and designing some insignificant detail instead of the power plant.

(That is: bikeshedding is getting lost in DEBATING the easy and incosequential details of an implemntation).

Docker is neither "lost in discussion" (they're building things, and a lot, and fast), nor a trivial detail (that would be e.g. LXC code's tabs vs spaces convention etc).
This is the story of the author trying to decide what to be when he grows up -- of course it uses the word "I" a lot. Perhaps you're suggesting that he tell a different story, though personally I like this one.
OpenBSD has always had a strong focus on protability. It's just the focus on portability was never restricted to "modernity" for the reason that there's few interestingly different processors anymore you can compile against to check for breaking errors.

It would be interesting though if Bitrig became sort of a DragonflyBSD for OpenBSD, where weird experimental stuff can be tested in a separate playground.
We already have that, and it's called Kotlin.
They're basically equivalent, so just figure out whether you like Python or Ruby more as a language and base your decision on that. And meanwhile, also try to figure out whether you enjoy making CRUD apps, because that's what Rails and Django are for.

I don't think we even need to combine the good and bad news in the way you describe (although clumping related news together is certainly good). The key to useful news seems to be that something changed. For example, trains are on time may not be useful, but train accuracy improved is.
The 'consumerisation of the enterprise' is here to stay.

Or you need to look up the definition of "etymology".

Etymology is not the same as the dictionary definition of a word. Nor is its historical use in the far past.

"in effect": virtually (will literally turn the world upside down to combat cruelty or injustice — Norman Cousins)

Their readership might not enjoy 'good news', if you build up readers who enjoy a negative story, then putting 'good news' may put people off.

Completely agree. I'm a founder CEO and we don't do whiteboard coding interviews at all in our company. Instead the candidate is given a realistic coding problem and allowed to produce working code in with as much time as they want to take (within a period of a day or two) on their own machine and using whatever reference resources they see fit to look up. This goes on while any queries about the problem, approaches, coding style etc. are answered over email/chat/phone/hangout etc. Once the candidate is satisfied with the code they designed and wrote, we have a discussion about it at a suitable time later.

It takes a bit more time and effort from the interviewer (and the interviewee too of course) but the signal strength from this exercise is so superior to the traditional whiteboard interviews that the mind simply boggles that the other form even exists.
I'd agree, with a few caveats:

1. If you make it to upper-management (VP of Eng. / CTO, etc) you can expect to make an additional 100k or so.

2. Your "total comp" is going to vary widely. If you're lucky enough to work for a public company who comps you options, the actual value of your package could me many multiples of your salary.

There is a good chance you are right.

.NET was a huge advantage when it came out compared to anything else. Faster than Java, easier than C++, etc.

Now there is not as marked an advantage. There are now so many great frameworks and languages to choose from, and alternative languages for frameworks. There isn't much competitive advantage for .NET in the longer term.

Father and 5 Year Old Son Create Word Game for iPhone

FastWord, the game invented by my son after he got tired of beating me at Scrabble is now live.

The guy is barking up the wrong tree. There is indeed a crisis in science, especially in pharmacology, but it isn't caused by an oversupply of biochemists, it's that since 2004, and especially since 2008, everything that isn't academia has stopped hiring. It's not that the source is too plentiful, it's that the sink has become plugged up.

There may be a cautionary tale in there for computer science: once the VC carousel stops the situation in computer science will be quite as bad.
Amazon and Google don't have to license their cloud technology, so why would Microsoft (be forced to adjust license costs. or to license it at all)? (Unless MS were to become the dominant hosting provider and some anti-monopoly law or regulation were to come into play, but right now they are far from there.) Licensing IIS is a side business to the cloud hosting business.
I was in a similar situation for a few months while traveling (and living within a 13gb/mo hotspot).

Biggest piece of advice: Open up your activity-monitor, click the network-tab and just watch it while you work. I was amazed by how many things are constantly polling or backing themselves up. I ended up switching IDEs because of this.

Second piece of advice: Unless you're literally in the middle of nowhere, then your neighbors are having the same problem. Sometimes a handshake-agreement with the guy next door can save a lot of headache (eg, I'll give you 50 bucks to let me use your wifi).

Yes, most of the visitors come from organic searches. Not necessarily, because a tool based site will be competing mostly with other tool based sites, with little or no text content. So other factors may be more important e.g bounce rate.
Doubtless there are roles within the financial industry deserving of the "vampire squid" label in social impact, but I'd expect them to be fairly obviously unethical if not outright illegal on inspection (deceptive sales of risky exotic derivatives comes to mind). Quantitative pricing of exchange-traded products (e.g. HFT) is much harder to argue against, IMO. To me it seems like a clear net positive to process information better than others to offer more competitive prices to anonymous buyers and sellers, because tightening spreads means more efficient markets through better price discovery. It doesn't sound very different than a retailer undercutting prices by running a leaner business than the competitors and afford lower profit margins. Of course the competitors are screaming bloody murder, but how is this not good for society?
> For example, I actually come to HN because in general there are 'happier' or at least less depressing stories on HN than negative. If all of the sudden this changed, I probably would visit it significantly less.

Same here. I actively avoid reading the local and world news. I didn't even know about the Ferguson case until starting talking to me about it. I assume that if there's something really important happening in the world that I need to know about, I'll either see it on Facebook or hear about it from a family member.

I love interesting articles about math, science, technology, music, and other thought-provoking ideas though. That's why I visit HN.
