Startups have a perception they have a lot of choices. Everyone copies and pastes, they get flooded. They are just A/B testing ways to filter through candidates.

Don't take the rules too seriously. Simply respond by asking you're expecting the market rate for what your position is. If they press, pursue another lead.

It's a numbers game for both sides.

Don't take it personally - finding talent and interviewing is very impersonal and mechanical. Keep applying until you find someone who will interview on terms of your technical merit and value you could bring.

HN has a number of protective mechanisms. No-one but HN staff knows exactly what these are. I think that sharing a post in a work chatroom - causing a rapid influx of upvotes - will trigger one of those mechanisms. Asking for upvotes is not allowed and that seems to be what you inadvertently did.

There are domains that are banned on HN - submitting those will get you either a "try again" message, or will post an article that shows in your feed as dead. Your submission isn't either of those.

It is a bit frustrating that good posts (like yours) are caught by the filters, especially when there are people who spew out two or three submissions a day to not particularly good articles or there are vote-rings who've learnt to stagger their upvotes over a few hours.

EDIT: if you had noticed quickly and then emailed HN they may have been able to remove the penalty. I think they've said they will do that. It might be worth submitting the post again in a few days?

Interesting that they mention mindfulness as we know it today is been gutted of theological meaning. I would say that is largely true of modern mindfulness, but it doesn't have to be the case. Christianity, for example, has a form of prayer called "centering prayer," in which one mindfully meditates on God while letting distracting thoughts flow away [1]. The parallels between westernized mindfulness and centering prayer are notable, and I find it encourages an opportunity for deeper spirituality than the more ubiquitous conversant prayer ("God, please forgive me for lying and oh can you please let the Patriots win the Super Bowl"). I have been practicing both for a couple weeks now and I find I am much better able to concentrate on focus-driven tasks like reading literature, something I have always struggled with due to a history of ADHD.

This is why we talk about mean time and still have to account for discrepancies as leap seconds. That's not an issue with the clocks, just the earth.

However, the situations are actually pretty different. If you look into the study of the Shortt-Synchronome clock, you'll see it's actually talking about the gravitational effects of the sun and moon on pendulums. The Harrison clocks had no pendulums.

The Shortt-Synchronome is still a pretty amazing clock, though.

Don't forget that on the consumer side, anything above 1Gb is an entirely different kettle of fish. We can achieve 1Gb over the most common cat5/e cables (1000BASE-T) but they simply don't support carrying anything more, same goes for the NIC on most computers, it's just not common to get anything above 1Gb.

The main benefit that is reasonably achievable for most people would be that they could aggregate at over a Gb, so they could connect multiple devices and expect a full Gb for each. Even then you would have to ensure they either both connect to the router directly or you have > 1Gb towards any switches (either 10Gb or LAG).

Achieving more than 1Gb on a single device would require the use of both cat6e cable or fiber and having a 10Gb NIC on that device - this is assuming the Comcast router even has 10Gb ports! And even then I'm sure they're would be some other hardware/firmware/software issues to tackle...

An interesting problem though....as for delivery, it could be using GPON, most active point to point is either 1 or 10Gb whereas most existing GPON ports support up to 2.5Gb which seems to fit better.

> The Harrison clocks had no pendulums.

The clock referred to in the article does have a pendulum.
In addition to the other replies to your post which make valid points, you have to remember that Harrison was a self-educated carpenter and clockmaker. The Longitude Committee was composed of the great and the good, and preferred the lunar distance method for getting the longitude at sea.

Edit: child post points out the Longitude Board's examination of Harrison's watches for finding the longitude at sea was much earlier than the publication of Harrison's book. Wikipedia page has the time-line.

> If the ads paid for the road you're driving on, then yes you'd be "stealing" access to the road by ignoring the ads.

Something which boggles the mind is how a lot of people who work in advertising still don't understand the concept that you do not have an innate right to your users' brains.

Putting it down to the technical level: When you send me bits, I have complete right and control to refuse them on a selective basis. I have a right to write a program that will refuse them on a selective basis. I have a right to share that program with other people, and those other peope have a right to run said program.

Adblock is not stealing, no matter how much you want it to be. If ads are paying for the content, the business that uses them should be made aware of the risks of adblock and the portion of people who are not willing to accept ads (and at which level they won't accept them).

Advertising in its current form is broken by design. It's a wonder it works at all. And yeah maybe we would be better off without it. The businesses that depend on the kind of ads adblock blocks tend to be shitty, low-hanging fruits, "appeal to the masses" sort of sites. Yes exactly, Buzzfeed. That's a debate for another day, but the point still remains: broken by design. Don't blame the users who just fucking want to be left alone.

That is majestically vile. It took me a while before I figured out how it was assigning the new coroutine's stack pointer, and then I was filled with admiration and a little nausea.

I'm not sure if this will work in real life; it looks like it's relying heavily on C compiler magic to ensure that the stack's laid out the way it wants. (Plus, allocating stacks with malloc() doesn't work on some architectures, and I have encountered pthreads implementations that get very unhappy if you change stacks on them).

But it's still a deeply impressive piece of lateral thinking.

My journey through the JavaScript pattern jungle
I wouldn't say it was dictatorial - Metro was a strong set of guidelines and templates to help developers get a good enough looking app without the need of a UI designer (can't say it worked though).

Nothing was stopping you from actually doing a hamburger menu yourself - other apps have done it - see Facebook and Barclays.

To me the decision to move away from Metro feels like it wasn't made by the design team. I think it was mostly driven by engineering and the business and of course time constraints to launch Windows 10. I can understand it from that perspective, but I don't necessarily think it will help adoption for WP.

Will developers now suddenly consider to port their apps, just because the UI is similar to iOS / Android, implying that it will be easier?

I doubt it.

> I love the gauntlet-throwing fire in this statement, and I only wish that it was practical to arrange for a showdown on this to actually happen.

Yes, but it's already available in a simpler case, as eluded to above and in discussion on the preview of this talk. There wasn't an answer to the question about which compiler is competitive with OpenBLAS on the linpack benchmark in Fortran (dominated by the triply-nested matrix multiplication loop).

A typical computational chemistry program of the type that consumes many cycles on HPC systems might use three types of kernel in assembler for good reason, e.g. OpenBLAS, FFTW, and ELPA (scalable eigenvalues). This is unfortunate, but at least a few people doing the work can have a large benefit; many thanks to them.
I'd like to see this as a book.
What I learned from teachers, mostly, was to distrust authority figures. Maybe iPads can't provide this lesson.

The article says: "Finding and growing great teachers is devilishly hard. Retaining them is very expensive." How do we even know who is a great teacher?

One of my best teachers told me, after years of me skipping his classes to play around with computer stuff, that he loved my style of learning. My style was to mostly ignore school, stay out of trouble, and read and tinker on my own.

I might be biased and wrong, but from my perspective, it seems like there's way too much talk about teaching, and way too little about learning.

The kids in that nightmarish Indianapolis "learning center" are being oppressed. If there's anything they're interested in on their own, they're probably too burned out when they come home from the "learning center" to pursue it.

And they learn that learning is something you do with someone else's permission, guidance, and monitoring. I learned that learning happens when I'm free to play around, follow my curiosity, and work hard with the natural zeal of a restless child.

Alan Kay had the idea of building an educational tablet computer in 1972, and was quite realistic about it. [1] Since he has a humanistic and child-centric view of learning, he envisioned the tablet as a tool for children to learn on their own. When interviewed in 2013 about whether new computing devices are helping in the classroom, he said:

"The perspective on this is first to ask whether the current educational practices are even using books in a powerful and educative way. Or even to ask whether the classroom process without any special media at all is educative.

"I would say, to a distressing extent, the answer is 'no.'"

Hijacking your comment to recommend those fascinated by time (and those that aren't!) to look into this year's FOSDEM main track dedicated to time.

I find it hard to stay motivated at times as well. But when I do, I like to be inspired by people who worked very hard to achieve their goals in life.

One of these people (that might surprise you) is Arnold Schwarzenegger. There's a very nice speech of him on YouTube called "The 6 rules to success"[0]. I like to re-watch this speech every now and then and it helps keeping me motivated.

Bill Burr can explain very well why Arnold is such an inspiring person[1].

The problem is less about when someone learns math (an easy subject once one cares), but rather the attitude about math. In the US, people walk away from math education hating and fearing math. "Math is important, but I can't do math" is the attitude many have. What is the attitude of general people in France? Do they take math ignorance as a point of pride as they do in the US or they take math knowledge and use as a point of pride?

Every time I see these posts where people claim that they will feed the world with crickets and bugs, my mind screams that's just complete nonsense. The problem in the developed world (that is where they are marketing this kind of things anyway) is that people are eating too much meat already, not that we need to product more meat, that is just the opposite.

The current meat is indeed really expensive to produce in terms of resources compare to other kind of food but that's not a problem at all, it's just people are eating too much of it because it's too cheap already, that is the problem. And it's not going to be solved by replacing burgers by cricket burgers. That would just make things even worse, you could get even cheaper meat so the consumption of meat would even raise a bit.
Would it be possible to make a coroutine implementation that allows the stacks to grow dynamically? (If there are N coroutines, you will need N stacks, so for large N it does not suffice to have a statically conservatively preallocated stack for each coroutine).

Also, how is Rust's support for coroutines?
What's a random opponent? If you mean "choose one opponent from among everyone who currently plays M:tG with equal probability", ten bucks will get you a better than 50/50 chance. A lot of young children play without even knowing some important rules.

If you want a 50/50 chance against a random opponent at the pro tour, you probably couldn't get that just by investing in cards (although, if you get to know their deck in advance, you might do that well or better).

If you want a deck that people wouldn't laugh at you for playing in the pro tour, probably three to five hundred dollars. Red decks are often much cheaper than other decks.

It's not "one perceived limitation" though. You work with Swift enough, you start tripping over things like this on a regular basis. I think I've had "Oh this isn't implemented yet… wait, my workaround isn't implemented either!" dance several times.

They aren't limitations by design. They are just things that the Swift team haven't gotten around to doing yet. Take a look at some of the messages from Apple engineers tracked by Swift in Flux [0], for example. It's full of things like:

> Optional methods in protocols are limited to @objc protocols only because we haven't implemented them in native protocols yet. This is something we plan to support.

…and:

> > [Is there any] specific reason why you can't reference initializers like a function?

> No particular reason, it's just not implemented.

…and:

> We currently have limitations in the type system and implementation that force some things (e.g. countElements and many others) to be global functions instead of methods, but we consider this a deficiency, not a feature.

…and:

> The prevalence of generic free functions is more about current language limitations than an intentional stylistic direction

It's a good language, but it's terribly unfinished. Back when Swift was in beta, things like this were to be expected, but Swift 1.2 feels more like Swift 0.2 to me. Apple are filling in the missing parts, but at the rate they are going, it will probably only end up feeling like a complete language at next year's WWDC.
