You assume that any of the anti-vax arguments are based on the manufacturer's warning, which is not the case for anything I've seen.
I'm having a hard time enjoying Go. It just reminds me a little too much of Java, and I programmed in that language for way too long. After I finished my test program, I uninstalled the toolkit from my system. Right now, I feel that there's no perfect language for me. I do love JavaScript, but there are some things I wish they'd fix. And it takes browser makers way too long to support the latest features. Been messing around with Erlang. Kind of an interesting language.
I don't believe the FCC has jurisdiction over physical movie theatres and their comestible policies. The FCC, their rules, and their basis legislation are what is operable in this case.

The FDA also doesn't have jurisdiction over that kind of activity, I don't believe.
> I've noticed a lot of Rust lovers commenting about how great Rust's type system is. It probably is, but I haven't run into any problems with Go's type system. I've found it to be practical and easy to use.

Go doesn't have generics. To someone coming from a language like Rust, saying that your type system doesn't have generics is like saying your car doesn't have wheels. It's just considered non-negotiable.

This is actually a good point, many of the higher viewer streams I see don't use ads all that much and many of the "full time streamers" really seem to value subscribers yet I imagine a strong reason for this is that a subscriber has a good chance at also being a donator. I Imagine twitch also uses subscriber numbers as a sort of measure as to who gets featured more often and such.
I think that's their goal, is to be accepted again. Their late rash of investments seem to insinuate that.

Back in the 90's, it was cool to be a Microsoft fan. Not so much over the last decade. They're trying hard to change that.
> - Go is a minimal language and has been called boring. [2] I don't claim to be an expert yet, but I don't think I've reached this level of productivity with a language this quickly before.

I was drawn to Go initially because of its promises around concurrency, but this is why I stayed. Within less than a month, I was as productive in Go as I was in Python, despite the fact that I had been programming in Python for several years at that point.

> - I totally agree with the comments on this thread about dependency management. Godep [1] is nice, but it would be great to see a canonical dep management tool for go.

For what it's worth, Docker has more or less replaced this need for me. I know it doesn't actually do "dependency management" in the traditional sense, but by the time that ad-hoc vendoring no longer works, I've found it's already time to start using Docker for deployment for other reasons anyway. At this point, it's just as easy to use Docker to manage the dependencies at the application level while developing as well.
You're probably right, but the articles I've read suggests that Ford and Edison continued tinkering and working right up to the end. Edison was in his 30's when he invented the light bulb and the phonograph. He was in his 40's when he invented the motion picture camera and made a bunch of improvements to battery technology. I've read stories that Ford was still tinkering with engine technology when he was in his 60's and 70's.
There's plenty enough corporations pawning off egregious malfeasance with "oh, it was some rouge employee...we can't be held accountable". One could even argue the other side of the coin of the limitation of liability incorporation confers is collective guilt when an individual employee does wrong.
I have no idea why you are being downvoted to oblivion. I've been on HN for over 7 years, and this comment is upvote worthy.

Yes, it goes against what PG preaches, but you don't downvote people that have intelligent well thought out comment just because it runs against the zeitgeist of SV.
In my experience, it was almost the opposite. The Snowden revelations illustrated how imperfect the NSA's coverage actually was compared to our prior speculation, and that they had some semblance of decency with regards to handling data.

Of course, I have my doubts that said decency holds at higher levels, and I'm sure it greatly depends on how important you are.

So unless you're a legitimate surveillance target such as a terrorist, politician, investigative journalist, or EFF attorney, you likely have nothing to fear.
I learned long time ago that you just need to wait a few programmer generations, than the bias against whatever technology is solved by virtue of nature.

When I started programming, the bias was against any language higher level than Assembly for home computers.
React is much simpler.
Indeed. The 2nd edition companion Student Manual by Tom Hayes (which will also be updated) used in Harvard's class covers building a functioning computer 'from scratch'. Lots of practical labs and discussion in it.

Also, the AoE 3rd edition has a new chapter on microcontrollers.

> saying that your type system doesn't have generics is like saying your car doesn't have wheels.

To overburden an analogy, it'd be more like complaining that your tank doesn't have wheels[0], or your hovercraft. Go takes a different approach to the same problem (in this analogy, getting from point A to point B).

But really, this is a rather tired flamewar that gets beaten to death literally every time a post about Go makes the front page, and there's really nothing more that can be said about it. Either program in idiomatic Go, which means using the language as it's designed (ie, without generics, at least in its current form), or don't, but it's very tiresome to see this argument rehashed again and again.

If we found microbes and nothing more, the larger public would be underwhelmed. We've been trained to think 'alien = adorable/murderous creatures'.

The scientific establishment would be excited, of course, but I fail to see how that excitement would percolate down to the average Joe.

What's more interesting is the long-term impact on human society. We will see a gradual shift from human-centric narratives to more universal narratives
You're describing a world in which said data is available on the market, which is already a drastically different world than the one we live in. I would be surprised if they can legally sell that data - surely credit cards come with a privacy clause?
Sunshine was a criminally under appreciated movie.
Love my 928. Still runs as smoothly as the day I got it (1.5 years ago). Haven't had an android device that has competed performance-wise for the same duration. Having used the big three platforms for several years now (and still developing for all of them), Windows Phone is still my favorite, by far.

I really like this analogy to interactive games, thanks!

I kind of see, logically, that the types can't be wrong in quite as many ways as the code/values/terms, but that's still a (possibly) infinite amount of wrong to contend with! Yes, we can, and frequently do, narrow it down, but still... :)

I've been aware of Mr. McBride's literature for some time, but I haven't ventured in beyond a cursory look at that ridiculously-well-punned Sinatra one. ("Do be do"... something?). It's a bit beyond what I can manage, in theory terms, at the moment.

EDIT: Sorry to sound like an excited puppy, but I don't think the time/place was quite right for me to have gone into or explored this field as I would have liked to as an undergraduate.
I so wish they would have picked Qt of GTK back in the beginning. That said: I love the tool, use it all over the place, one of the apps i always install.

I find it interesting in light of the licensing debates between GCC and Clang. GNU goes to great lengths to ensure that anyone modifying or extending GCC is legally obliged to release their changes -- including technical design decisions that actually make GCC's code difficult to reuse even in GPL-compatible projects. Clang is under a permissive license, so Sony has no obligation to release their changes, but apparently they are anyway.

I realize that GCC's policies were actually important for getting Next to release their Objective C code in the 90's, but it seems like times have changed. Companies have learned that keeping their code a secret actually isn't a huge competitive advantage whereas releasing it has a lot of real benefits (such as reduced maintenance cost). It's always better to have people doing the right thing because it's in their interests rather than because you forced them to.
I wouldn't say it's a recent trend. I joined hn about 2 years ago and notice popular Go posts frequently. Before joining hn I heard about go from classmates around 2010.

I doubt it will be a flavor of the month. Go has a really strong community. I think a better and harder question would be about its longterm popularity and adoption.

Money is essentially a measure of your influence/ability to make people do things, so it's not surprising it's tied up with status.
"High-achievers (and most people) are trained to simply put in more hours to get past problems"

Hmmm, with personal experience, most people are not ever trained to do this. I'd say the majority are content to let things fester away, sometimes literally. Not that it is necessarily a bad thing, in most people's lives, things pass and they are the same, maybe a little poorer and wiser.

"...why management is so tough is that you can't always solve problems by simply working more."
Yes, you can work your way through management. In fact, I'd say thats the best kind of management: leadership. Look at good leadership role models: Drill Sergeants. They march every step of the way and set the bar for their recruits. Yes, there are MANY differences, but as far as a role model for managing, the military has a lot to look at, and from Major on down, they live and breathe the working management style.

"hey had to find an intuitive sense for how much time away from the office was too much"
Or, just talk to the folks and see what was up. Any time not spent in front of the people trading their time for your money is not good. They need to know why, almost reflexively, why the boss is out playing golf with clients and drinking at 2pm. It's not a matter of not working, its a matter of communication, which is work.

Not to say that you are not correct a lot of the time though. Management is a skill just as any other, and it takes a lot of mistakes and time to learn it. Though the MBA is reviled almost in the Valley, it does give an initial survey of how to deal with these issues, if used as it is intended.
My parents did something similar.

FAFSA is supposed to provide some degree of assistance for nearly everyone in the middle class, and overwhelming amounts for working class families.

We left money on the table at a time when money was short because my parents didn't want to break out the tax forms, and assumed assistance was for Other People.
What kind of problems are you having with it? I'm using npm on Windows and it's working out great! I'm actually using it as my build/task runner rather than using bloated grunt or gulp. It's easy to configure and read. I run my linter, unit test, jscs, and bundler all configured in package.json.

I also install git bash and conemu to have bash on Windows which makes things much better. I don't use windows console.
Rub-on tattoo for diabetics could mean the end of finger pricking
I also am surprised to find that this is considered radical. This has never been a sensitive topic in my family. I know my parents' salaries and I know what they've got saved for retirement. I even know what some of my other family members make (cousins, uncles, etc.) because they're open about it.
What I'm saying is the following:

In the eyes of a court, either it's reasonable to infer that a disclosure notice compliant with the Dep. A.G. letter is a sign of having received a NSL, or it isn't. If it isn't, then the court can have no objection to such a notice. If it is reasonable to make that inference, then the Dep A.G. letter amounts to a formal authorization from USG to issue a document permitting that inference.

In the eyes of the internet at large, a 0-249 notice never actually means 0 – by the Gricean maxim of quantity, if a range is given then it can be assumed that it was necessary that a range be given.
I agree that parents should tell their kids how much they make. Even better, bring them in on the budgeting process, explain how much of their paycheck goes to taxes, etc.

I was raised not knowing any of that -- my mother absolutely hated talking about her finances with me. So I never really had a clue what a reasonable wage or salary was, or how much I would actually lose to taxes, or what a reasonable budget was... and of course, none of that stuff was taught in high school, either.

Even with the FAFSA, etc., I remember being told to just sign it and my mother would insist on taking the form and going to fill in the blanks herself.

I think that parents talking to their children about this kind of thing provides them with a healthier financial barometer overall, which would be useful when they start getting pounded with credit card pre-approval letters out of the blue.

Edit: Even now, as a 29-year-old adult, I have no clue what my mother makes, what (if anything) she has for retirement, what she inherited from her father last year, the status of the house she lives in, etc. She just won't talk about that kind of thing because it "has nothing to do with me."

As a child, it can be a handicap, but as an adult, it can be massively stressful. I can understand the need to be independent (especially as a single mother), but money is just a sensitive topic when there isn't a lot.
There's not a specific reg for hotels and convention centers, there's a document about how a general rule against jamming applies in the context of those venues, because the FCC has been getting numerous complaints which seem to indicate a potentially widespread problem I'm that area with violations of the generally applicable no jamming rules.
Are you the original author?

If so, maybe change "Money Earned" to something that mentions monthly? There appears to be no mention of monthly anywhere in the area of your graphs, which is the first thing I jumped to (skipping over the introductory paragraph that says you are looking at monthly revenue).
I've only been playing around with it for a few weeks but my experience has been entirely positive thus far (usually when picking up a new language there's at least a few "ugh, I hate how..." moments). I feel it's a very well designed language and that should give it some staying power.

Minor nitpicks- "Convolved" with the pixels. And the FIR filter doesn't depend on the frequency information in the adjacent pixels, but rather the intensity of the pixels. A short FIR filter must have large frequency support, so the filtering depends on the frequency information given by all pixels.
I suppose that is true. However, I see money as giving me the ability to not have to do what others want me to do (within legal bounds of course).
The cynic in me says that this may not be the point of SV ageism.

Maybe young founders are preferred because they are cheap and they fail fast. They don't have the proverbial family to feed, and they don't have enough life experience to worry about going head first in a direction that may contain a blind corner.

If you want even more cynicism, it is also possible that less scrupulous VCs find younger founders easier to manipulate, over promise, over work, and under deliver.
Why do you assume that I'm assuming? I've looked into this a lot (I myself was an unvaccinated child and I've had plenty of exposure to this stuff) and these are the conclusions I've reached, not assumptions I've made.

You think I haven't asked people where they're coming from in a non-hostile way? I've had tons of non-hostile conversations about this stuff.

If you want to present some data for that side, then I'd be happy to see it. Otherwise, stop insisting that it must somehow be there, because as far as I can tell it's not, and I'm not just assuming this is the case.
Would you have had the same experience by coding directly in Ruby? The magic of Rails would similarly be hidden from you, forcing you to learn what's going on under the hood.
I know quite a few Midwestern families that are like this. I think it's considered "adult topics" not suitable for children for various reasons.
Yeah, good point. I'll fix it once I get out of class :)
Sure, but releasing a commercial Unix is different than investing in a Linux company. The former is less inconsistent with popular anti-Linux perception of Microsoft than the latter.
The Business Value in Software Quality
There are quite a few packages in npm that require native compilation of some part of their system during install. These usually fail horribly on windows without spending a lot of time tweaking your system in ways you probably don't want to. This is in sad contrast to how well many of the other libraries just work.

I would have thought it'd be possible to emscripten compile something like tinyC, and make a C compiler you could naturally fit into the node ecosystem to build native libraries.
Excellent demo! I love how easy this is to use.

I think they were primarily a victim of their massive success. If they had only made $500,000 instead of $2.8 million, they might still be going along fine.

How did they get caught? Did the SEC see this account has 1,800% return on investment over 3 years and investigate who owned it? Or did Capital One discover some odd queries on their production database and report them to the SEC?

This is just another generic Go vs Node post. Do we really need another post telling us about Go's concurrency/built-in features/compile benefits.

This post sadly doesn't really go into much details that bowery.io is trying to solve, how Go fits that and why Node was so bad.

A basic crud webapp would probably be better suited towards node and it's larger list of libraries supporting that kind of stuff.

On the other hand, building you own messaging queue or doing heavy mathematical processing might be better suited for Go.
I did not know either of those things! Thanks!
Another anecdotal data point: My parents have always been open about their finances with me and my siblings, but my father says that's largely because his father (my grandfather) would never discuss money with the family. Money can cause a lot of stress, so I can see how you would want to avoid discussing it with your kids.

> Sorry they moved your cheese but the rest of the world isn't going to stop progressing even if you do.

I was not complaining about progress (which, in this case, I would simply call change). I was merely responding to drzaiusapelord's complaint about LibreOffice not 'keeping up' with MS Office by expressing my appreciation for the existence of a more 'classical' alternative.
>Well...that and statistics.

Which are only tangentially related. The contention is there aren't more women in tech because sexism. But there are no statistics that bear on that question directly. All we can say is there aren't a lot of women in tech. But there aren't a lot of women in tech in college, either, despite campaigns to attract them. Like that nonsense "77 cents" statistic, it may be women simply make life choices that don't put them in tech.

None of the women in my graduating class lasted as engineers for more than a handful of years, preferring to go into sales or management instead. When I asked why they said they couldn't stand the lack of human interaction, something that doesn't bother me in the slightest. Maybe... maybe, and I'm just spitballing here... maybe men and women don't have exactly the same motivations, desires, and tolerances.

>But even without statistics, if a group of people say they feel unwelcome and another group says "no you're welcome", is your conclusion that the environment is welcoming to the former group?

You can't assume anything either way. It's a mistake to think you can divine what other people are thinking unless they tell you. If I don't offer a woman a job it's because there was someone else that was a better fit. If she goes away thinking she didn't get it because she's a woman, well, who's in the wrong here?

But the entire focus of the argument is wrong. Nobody went out of his way to make me or any other man "feel welcome". It's a job, not a Christmas party. You match your skills against what employers need and come to an arrangement. If you're such a wilting flower that some nebulous "not feeling welcome" is enough to keep you out of the industry, how can you possibly deal with problems on the job?
