How interesting. I would have thought such a common database operation (querying by ranges) would have been a better solved problem by now.

Also, how come the author of the blog post writes O(k) instead of O(1) for constant time? Is it because 1 is as arbitrary a constant as any or is there some difference that I am not aware of?

Angular 2.0 is removing a lot of complexity and "magic" of 1.x. I've moved onto React but I think it's a bit too soon to say Angular 2.0 will be a bloated monstrosity relative to 1.x.
That's been fixed, thanks for reporting.
dont be ashamed!

All the OP links have affiliates codes. (namecheap, digital ocean, sendy).
It is also useful for rewriting routines in the critical path for slower, but more productive languages. Particularly languages that need to do a lot of heavy-duty data crunching (think Python, R, Matlab, Octave).

I mean, I guess you could do that in C++ instead. But why would you bother if C is good enough (and it typically is for most numerical algorithms).
Maybe I'm just rationalizing it because I want to think of myself as a calm, non-ragey person, but to me it feels like something else.

I agree with others that it feels rude when someone else takes up the whole sidewalk.

But it's also that I walk a lot, and use it as a form of transportation. I go twice as fast as a lot of people on the sidewalk, and it seems like if people just sped up a bit they'd find walking more useful, which would make them drive less, which is a good thing, and it drives me crazy that this isn't obvious to them.

Like I said, I'm probably just rationalizing :)
Yes cold calling does work and also cold emailing (although be careful not to come off spammy when cold emailing). Try to establish a connection before just emailing. Your best bet is to work your connections and their connections.

I know you said you do not have contacts in the target market, but maybe some of your friends, family, coworkers, etc.. do. How did you get interested in this market? Someone or something led you down the road this product so follow that road back to see who along the way can help you now.

Splurge on a premium LinkedIn account and hunt down contacts in the market. See where they are within your network and seek out introductions.

Once you land one or two clients use them to build out. HR and Legal are two very well connected groups of people and they tend to talk among themselves at various networking events and within their circles. Get references and use their connections.

Finally, you missed an opportunity here by not linking to your product/service. Even put it in your profile here. I know I would have looked at the site to see if (a) it was something that I could use, (b) if I knew someone that could help you, or (c) just to put on my radar if something popped up down the road.

Finally participate in forums, blogs, etc... to promote your product. Don't spam them, but become a resource in the market space. It may take some time to build a reputation but if people see you can be trusted as a resource they may just buy your product.

I was going for the "worst" kind. Not everyone might agree with me, but I honestly don't see a severe offender as an impediment to being able to get a project done and would happily hire one.
YMMV, but in my time consulting has tended to be when customers ask for strategic, architectural and design input more than Contractors, who often are more focussed on implementing a plan that is a bit more formed.
"Android" doesn't use the same hardware, just a similar OS. And given that many manufacturers replace the stock software for camera, it wouldn't even be the same software.

I fail to see how it would be meaningful to anyone to see "shot on Android".

Whereas with an iPhone, you pretty much guess that the latest phone has the best camera - if you like what you see, you can get best version of the same tools used.

>clarify the legality of the GPL

So far the decision of German courts has been that if GPL wouldn't be a legal license, then the licensee wouldn't have had any rights at all (since you would default back to regular copyright).

It's possible that some points of the GPL will be debated, but I doubt that this will bring much additional clarity.
I've seen it argued on HN that the GPL's definition of a derivative work differs from the legal definition, and if you never distribute the GPL'd code, you aren't bound by it.

Thus, one could write kernel drivers, which (it was argued) are not derivative works under copyright, and be safe as long as the kernel is not redistributed by the same entity.
ha, "horrendous"? Try an S4 mini and see what Samsung can do when they really want a phone to have a bad camera.

Certainly with law (perhaps less so with medicine), early self-learning is quite possible. (As, for that matter, is early organized learning targeted to adolescents, such as middle/high school mock trial programs.)
Actually it looks like it's been on reddit multiple times in the last 2 years with some decent interest and a fair number of positive reviews (as well as a few negative, some of which could be dichromatic which it doesn't work for).

My experience is very different than yours. I've never heard of anyone leaving before 1 year and not getting anything.
Any litigation of the GPL is more than likely more dangerous for the GPL than it is for the companies. A relaxing of the understood requirements of using and distributing GPL code could cause an avalanche of fall out from formerly protected code becoming less protected. If I was this organization I would only risk a lawsuit of something that would have profound positive consequences for open source. VMware's risk is relatively small vs the risk that the GPL's viral component is weakened.

Not that I can completely disagree with your point, but there are many reasons outside of the intrinsics of a programming language that can and will influence ones success.

The marketting muscle that was put behind Java certainly helped it in its time. Same for the actual market that backs objective c.

C probably benefited as much from the open distribution as it did anything else. Combined with a relatively high quality compiler that was heavily distributed (gcc), this can not be understated. The only languages that were as highly distributed were probably the various BASICs, and there are obvious reasons to fall off of those at some point.

So, you can blame lisp's lack of popularity on its complexity. I am not so sure that is a good foundation, though. I feel it is as much lack of a high quality distribution of it as it is anything else.

Though, highly on topic, it should probably be noted that the approachability of the original C Programming Language book that is making so many people excited about this book probably had a very heavy influence, as well. I am not so sure a book can have as heavy of an influence in today's environment, but I think it would be foolish to discount the amount of influence a publication like this could have had back in the day.
I second Paul Grahams essays. Paul has written a lot of essays. They are all pretty interesting to read, and they have some great information in them.

I read that chess was originally considered impossible to implement on the 2600, but there were promotional materials showing a guy playing chess on it and a customer complained that it wasn't available, so Atari went ahead and wrote it.

The graphics were horrible but the AI was actually pretty good, so we just used to set up a real board and mirror the moves on that.
I treat the issue like the issue of remembering the operator precedence rules or just using some extra parenthesis.

Although I feel remembering where semicolons are needed is simple I still use them anyway for personal preference.
>The people interviewing couldn't get that. They showed zero understanding of the problem space. They were clearly stupid.

It's always possible that they wanted to see how the team would react to those types of questions. We had a very similar experience during our interview (asked questions that we thought were clearly explained in the application).

There was a bit of discussion on this topic yesterday here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9147252
gmail.com supports fetching email from external servers via POP (it's under settings, accounts). His users could use that and skip most of gmail's spam filtering completely. It doesn't (reliably) support forwarding mail to it without using some list software in the middle. I believe if jwz set up mailman or something similar, it wouldn't have a problem with that, because mailman would properly re-write the envelope sender as the list address.

> Those kind of companies will fail anyway.

Given the same company before and after launch, it's hard to see why waiting until you have traction before doing YC would decrease your chances of being successful. At best you get a lot of interest on demo day and save a month you would have otherwise spent raising money, and at worst you're not really any worse off than before. (This is assuming you can figure out how to make a good product on your own, and that not doing YC earlier won't slow you down at all. Not true for all startups.)

There's no question that earlier companies still get a ton of value out of YC and that it's still worth doing even pre-traction, but that wasn't really my question.
So, there's two major things I would suggest changing:

1. Easy answers keep users from developing Google-fu. Competitors answers should be sufficient. If they aren't, make a separate doc and have it be easily Googleable from a hint. This keeps them from developing a dependency on that "Answer" button that would show up on the end.

2. The big problem with currently existing tools for this is that they haven't come up with a gameified way to give -structure- to a program. Which is a problem because for a real program structure is the very first thing you do.
All the Right Angles
Profit/Loss != Cash flow
XOR = Addition (without carry)

Left Shift = Multiply by 2 ^ n (without checking for overflow [1]).

Right Shift = Divide by 2 ^ n (without rounding)

As all data in stored, and processed in binary representation right/left shifts are fun hacks we gain from this system. Moving an entire integer 1 space left/right will double/halve its value! Its also very easy to replicate this operation in hardware.

"Frankly, I'm really sick and tired of the pervasive image in America that all men are rapists and child molesters. You talk to a woman on an elevator, or you accidentally make eye contact with a child that isn't yours for a brief second, and everyone assumes you're a sexual predator because penis. Sure, I'll accept that men are more likely to be. But we're talking about 0.000011% of women versus 0.000018% of men here."

Yes. In my "other life" I work in fire and EMS, and in uniform regularly have parents stop us and point us out to their kids - "If you're ever hurt or in trouble, you can ALWAYS go to these people, they're safe.", or the look of absolute trust when someone thrusts their sick child at you, hoping for you to make it better. And that, somewhat unsurprisingly, sometimes include seeing that child in undress.

Take off my uniform.

My partner spent several years in childcare, both at centers and as a nanny. We're out in public and she sees a crying child? She goes to it, talks to it, hugs it perhaps, reassures.

Me? Not a chance. For better or worse, societal conditioning is that that is something I as a male /do/ /not/ /do/. Because it's nefarious that I'd even want to.
Dart can be run in both modes. Chrome (dunno if enabled by default and/or in stable) contains a Dart VM, so you "only" need to transpile into JS for non-Chrome.

The main problem I had with Dart was [a year ago] that using existing JS libraries like jQuery wasn't as seemless as I would liked. So that would be a reason against Dart, if Angular wants to make that aspect easier.

Haven't looked at TypeScript's interop with JS. I got frightened by the name Microsoft and the fact that they only had a huge language spec PDF and not a single tutorial or something easier to digest.
The new leather Apple cases are quite nice in feel and saved my phone from a couple of dings already. It adds a minor bulk, but I really prefer it with the case - plus I hide my Mountek plate in the case without sticking it on my phone.

Amazon SES rocks from a pricing standpoint but deliverability isn't its strong suit. There are too many spammers using it. ISPs seem to barely trust mail sent from their servers and I get a lot of bounces. I stopped using it for critical email and rely on it only for bulk-type emails where missing that one email isn't the end of the world.

MailChimp for newsletters and SendGrid for everything else. That's a winning combo.

> Why has there been such a dramatic turnaround in medicine, but not engineering or technology?

AFAIK, there's been a fairly dramatic turnaround in some areas of engineering and technology (biotechnology particularly), modest turnaround in others, and substantially less turnaround (even compared to other engineering and technology domains in general) in computing, both hardware and software, domains.

Biotechnology, like medicine, may benefit from the fact that the early preparation overlaps substantially with the early preparation for traditionally female-dominated fields (e.g., nursing) such that early interest isn't socially discouraged even in contexts where gender stereotypes about appropriate careers remain significant social influences.

Yes, they are. Where were they playing CAH? Oh, at "a professional setting like a conference" (not in a session, certainly).

I somehow doubt it.
Do they have a showcase where the same app is implemented on both iOS and Android?
"Linking" and "calling" are also technical concepts, not legal. The GPL and LGPL claim a distinction, but that claim may not have teeth in all cases (as I understand it as a non-lawyer who has worked with FOSS for more than half my existence).
There have been several rulings in germany in favor of the GPL and its enforceability[1][2][3] (pages in german), so these aren't exactly untested waters.

My take from the article was that they just broke out the average entry SAT score of each race. Which concluded Asians needed 50 points more than whites to get into Harvard while Blacks needed 200 points less.

But as said elsewhere, Harvard isn't looking at SATs solely - they are looking for "interesting" or future leadership potential.
Agreed.
$50 is not cheap in comparison to other options.
Thanks for that. I was able to see it after a force refresh. Looks good now.

There is strong precedent in German courts for enforcing GPL violations. Probably stronger than in any other country's legal system. The Software Freedom Conservancy is probably the organization least likely to screw up the decision to enforce the GPL through the courts.
If I'm not mistaken this is the first instance of a kernel developer participating in a GPL lawsuit. That could bring a whole new era of GPL lawsuits.
The ability to actually pick-up the phone and call prospects separates then men from the boys in this game. Yes, cold email can be useful to start a dialogue. But true business developers know they must use the phone.

Hyper-V is great, also System Center Virtual Machine manager kicks the pants out of VCloud Director and friends.

If you prefer a more hands on approach just plain Xen or KVM is a great option too. As for orchestration in that space have a look at running Openstack or Xen Orchestra etc.
No, I don't want some random website knowing my name, email, and friends list. This solves that problem.

Why don't men want to be elementary school teachers? Well nobody really cares that much why, but they definitely don't. I think they don't because it's a low-pay, low-respect job and there's a risk of being called a pedophile.

Why don't women want to be in tech? Full of nerds, full of people they don't really want to be around. Hard work, the pay is getting lower every day, have to compete with low wage offshore workers. There are lots of men with no social skills in tech. Women can probably earn more money outside of tech, and have more networking and social outlets in non-tech jobs.

I think networking is essential here. Ask your friends (and friends of friends) to introduce you to HR / legal folks within their employers. Be politely persistent. It may take several asks, especially for the most important connections.

Well-crafted cold emails are remarkably effective. Subject lines are key, concise content, close with a specific ask ("can we speak / meet at this date and time?") Lots of good content and examples out there on this. If no reply, send a follow-up three days later politely asking for a response.

If the GPL isn't strong enough to hold up in court, it's not a very good license and could use some modification. It's going to need to be challenged some time, or else it will stop being taken seriously. If companies think they can trample on the GPL and get away with it, the GPL is destroyed. If someone challenges a company and the GPL is weakened, it can be made stronger.

This can only have a positive outcome. The alternative is the GPL ceases to exist.
