To me, the follow 2 sentences look like they contradict each other:

>It's not progress of culture or language, simply an increase of quantity of slang

>, I never argued that the vernacular / slang being generated today wouldn't be used or become accepted by society at large.

If those 2 sentences are not contradictions, can you clarify your comment?

Isn't "accepted by society at large" part of what culture __is__ ?

The point I saw (and heartily agree with) is to be deliberate. DRY is an optimization. What is the cost of DRY? What are the costs of not being DRY?

I think we frequently fall into the trap of doing DRY "because we're supposed to" rather than on a case by case basis evaluating whether or there is a net expected benefit.

That doesn't always mean taking a hard YAGNI line. There are plenty of opportunities for DRY that don't incur a big cost but enable simplicity in future development. It's fairly simple math (though it requires some degree of arbitrary numbers). <Expected cost of refactor (time and added complexity)> vs <Expected benefit (saving future time)> * <Likelihood you will need to update this code>

If you know you're most likely going to revisit the codebase in a month and it's a fairly simple refactor then go ahead and do it.
If you haven't used Tor in several years, you're not really qualified to comment on the current state of Tor.
I figured that any attempt to make a superior target language/bitcode would run into the same problem that JavaScript has of eventually needing things bolted onto it making very complex and fall short of perfect in order to fill some important use case the creators didn't think of at the time.

To be honest, I'd prefer to see them go to other markets.

I'm actually with Comcast, and they've been a dream. I've not even had to threaten with USI or CenturyLink yet, and my service is always at advertised speeds and I've not had any downtime.

While it would almost definitely expand the fiber build-out around here, and that would be great, there are plenty of places with a single broadband provider. I also imagine Ting would have better chances in a sparser market.

May I also say that this is the only place on the Internet, of which I know, where an admission of being incorrect is greeted by a torrent of support rather than mocking or denigration?

Academic discovery includes being wrong, and the fact that this is still understood here makes it an extremely rare place.

Please, please no upvotes to this comment, as I'm simply trying express my gratitude for all of your support for an essential element of academic inquiry.

From the deepest part of my heart, thank you, HN.
Fair enough, though then you have to say that the Sophists artificially constructed their arguments, too. (Socrates was very against this.) And every sellout author since the origin of the printing press artificially constructed his or her books to appeal to the public. The news is artificially constructed– if it bleeds, it leads.

A lot of everything is "artificially constructed". The Beatles artificially constructed their songs.

Any sufficiently advanced "artificial construction" is indistinguishable from "organic construction".
> Was there any book or resource that helped you shape that view?

Haven't read that anywhere, but is just a precis of something from one of my drafts.

I believe you're misunderstanding what stream fusion is. A language compiler does not really need "good iterator/generator abstractions" more than a guarantee of side-effect free transformations in order to be able to de-forest the intermediate data structures. http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.104.7...
I just fail to see the progress part here, I suppose. Maybe my view of this is daft, but the slang being created by the generation today isn't helping us say things we couldn't say before or moving anything forward - its simply the nature of slang, it constantly changes through the generations.

You're mixing up techniques. Heel-toe is so called because you are using your right toe to operate the brake and your right heel to operate the gas pedal (at the same time) while the left foot operates the clutch.

The technique is used in racing during corner entry to allow the driver to rev-match downshift while under hard braking. This way they are already in the optimal gear as they release the brakes and initiate the turn
Something being accepted by society does not imply progress.
I'm curious to hear your thoughts about what progress has been so far. What do you feel have been works or movements or creations from the past that allowed for progress?
Have to check this out. Of all the container buzzness around, I like their spin--no spin, just get the job done filling in all the blanks.
> As another example, rkt intends to work better [than Docker] with systemd/kubernetes, but AIUI that’s still on the roadmap and not actually implemented.

Could you elaborate on this? Do you mean working better with systemd as a process supervisor or as a runtime?

Many people don't know this, but it's already possible to use systemd as a runtime for Docker containers[0], which is about as integrated as I can imagine[1]. Though admittedly, the Docker daemon and runtime do not play well with process supervision (of any kind, including systemd)[2].

Last I checked, CoreOS had posted to the systemd mailing list announcing their plans to integrate with nspawn, though I don't think that's been released yet.

[0] This is the best-kept secret of both Docker and systemd. I recently conducted a workshop on "Docker Without Docker" - in other words, how to run Docker containers without even having the Docker runtime installed (using pure systemd).

[1] And, depending on your use case, I'd recommend giving it a shot - there are a number of things that systemd provides that Docker still does not. On the other hand, Docker has a large ecosystem, and the tools for building initial container images are very accessible.

[2] At least as of recently, you can use 'exec mode' to specify the initial process (PID 1) inside a container running under Docker, but systemd still does not have access to the actual process on the host, which makes it cumbersome to monitor - the CoreOS documentation tells you to do something like this for Docker + systemd: https://github.com/ChimeraCoder/znc-kibana-playbooks/blob/ma...
Sounds great! I'll test it on my mac :)
> No, it's not 'hot reload' - it's not even 'reload'. It's just 'load', because everything is gone at the end of the request (yes, you could call it reloading, but it's not reloading and replacing an existing internal thing, because that thing is gone).

And it's not things are gone at the end of the request - it's more like each request has nothing until it acquires it. You have multiple requests in parallel in a modern setup.
You're arguing that regulations against redlining would mean Tesla cannot just sell expensive cars.

Tesla does not discriminate based on your address. They discriminate based on income.

The problem with discrimination based on neighborhoods is that historically, it has not been income-based, despite claims by businesses that their only criteria was income[1].

You realize Angular depends on jQuery right? And that extending Angular with new functionality involves using jQuery...

jQuery is not dead, and until DOM apis converge across browser vendors and become 100x easier to use it will remain active.

>It really doesn't seem to matter which language one writes in that can be transpiled to JavaScript. Pick one you like or just use plain JavaScript. This seems to be one of those cases where you can just pick what you like - a different situation than choosing between Java or C# or Haskell, etc.

Google should redirect the Dart project's resources toward the creation of a legibly-errored, fast, golang to js transpiler.

The open source community has already performed the heavy lifting with the gopherjs project. Google should get on board and support its own language in browser space. A project like gopherjs would take off with the weight of Google behind it: all it needs are increased examples, tutorials, and publicity.
> you're imposing a tax on the system, taking time away from your current employer

An interview shouldn't feel like such a transactional process. An interview should be a great way to share between two workers at different companies different team and technical challenges. A good interview is one that I'm learning from, no matter which side I'm on.

Unfortunately, this concept is mostly limited to small innovative and agile companies asking their employees to wear many hats.
On April 3rd biggby emailed all their customers of the breach that they downplayed as a part of damage control and they stated tighter security measures have been implemented to stop such an attack from ever again occurring. They specifically stated sensitive information was not stolen, this is wrong.

The hacker responsible for it, has access to all the credit cards used at POS terminals from all of the biggby stores starting from february 4 until present. If you are a customer of biggby, you should monitor your transaction history for any unauthorized transactions. The database of biggby.com has been compromised, employee SSN's have been stolen as well.
I have rarely worked at a place that hasn't kept an ad on their site for an engineer even when not hiring. At one, the hr vp quite honestly admitted they interview continuously at a reduced level in case someone leaves.

And really the idea of loyalty to a place that has you sign an at will employment agreement and a non-compete clause doesn't make the much sense. And that so many companies seem more than willing to move overseas or outsource work solely (and inevitably foolishly) to reduce wage costs surely shows no loyalty to their employees.

And surely the endlessly quoted "market forces" requires all rational actors to pursue the avenue with the greatest fiscal returns doesn't it?

It would be nice if it were otherwise. And the first mandatory step to bring that about would be eliminating the at will employment agreement.

Now if your company does none of these things and retains employees through their whole careers then I applaud you enormously.

For the rest, it is deeply foolish to remain loyal to an organization that is so demonstrably unloyal that, for example, it has never kept a single employee up to anything remotely like retirement age.
His example is terrible but his conclusion is sound (imo):

> Yeah, jQuery is dead not because frameworks make you write better code - we know they don’t - but because your framework does DOM manipulation better than you ever could.

If what I need to accomplish can be done in 4 lines of jQuery, I use jQuery. When I know there's going to be a ton of DOM manipulation, I reach for a suitable framework/library because I know the mess I'll end up in if I try scaling up the 4 lines of jQuery to handle a complex web application.
This is a big eye-opener.

Ask HN: Most efficient strategy for my next career step?
I'm a 27yo software developer. I'm working as a IT generalist for a small company. Pay is low,late,and bosses are terrible. That is mainly because of unemployment rate which is around 25%, so people tend to tolerate a lot. They treat me okay so far, because they need me, but I think it is just a matter of time until I get treated like everyone.

I know Java well, I've worked with GAE and their NoSQL Datastore. Also, I worked with Android, but only on some smaller hobby applications. I know RDBMS rather well and PLSQL. They thing is that I always worked on smaller applications, and never on something bigger. So I like that kind of professional experience.
It might be biased, but I think I have a good foundation, and that I understand programming on a bit lower (abstract) level, so I can adapt quickly to any new technology. Also I like to learn, and I think I learn rather quick. All I need is an inch of opportunity.

I decided to quit my job in 2 weeks from now. I have enough money to survive for around 4-8 months (if they pay all they owe me). I want to try my luck in working as a freelancer.
I know about standard freelance sites such as Freelancer. Also, I know about Toptal, where I managed to get in, and that is my main hope for a freelance job.
Since I want to minimize my risk as much as I can, I would like to know where else can I try to find that kind of a job?

Also, what are some other steps that I can take in time while I'm out of work. On what to focus in my professional development in terms of polishing current and learning new skills? Any general opinions are welcome.

My friends and family think I'm crazy for leaving my current job without having something safe. I know that I'm taking a risky move, but I really feel like it is now or never. I don't want to waste anymore of my time. I just don't want to work 10+ hours a day and in the end still calculate if I should buy all the groceries I need this month.

Thank you for reading.
Reminds me of http://motherfuckingwebsite.com
I'm also a guy that's always interviewing. It keeps me fresh, which seems to be an inoculation to what I see as the number one career killer: stagnation.

I would have no problem if my employer constantly interviewed for my replacement. This would be an excellent thing to do because they would have a better understanding of where others want to take their careers and general trends in software development. Cheaper than bringing in business consultants.

Work for yourself, never settle. Loyalty just means you might be the last person laid off in a slump. Only exception to this rule might be ownership benefits or a pension.
laying the fiber is actually the cheap part, if you count the cost of securing Rights of Way (ROW). lawyers and politicians are far more expensive than skilled workers with heavy equipment.
I'm pretty sure you can use Angular without jQuery and even without using the jQuery-lite thing they have in it. I've moved on from Angular now but I definitely didn't rely on jQuery at all during my end of my Angular days.

Hyperboles aside, tablets are vastly easier and more intuitive for small children to use than keyboards and mice. Undoubtedly, a very different generation is growing up now, for which a "computer" means a screen you can touch, and actual laptops and PCs are something esoteric you sometimes use for schoolwork to input large amounts of text.

I get where you're coming from, but look at it from the perspective of a smaller company. If a developer leaves, they're only going to give 2-3 weeks notice, but onboarding a developer, even if they were found day one, would take months and steal time from the rest of the team. Chances are it won't be day one, which means you then have a smaller engineering staff doing the same amount of work. I WISH some of the companies I've worked for had simply interviewed outside of times of need and brought on developers simply because they were good developers, to minimize the pain when key people leave.

Look at it like servers. You want to have some level of redundancy because machines will fail. Yeah you might not have full redundancy everywhere, and a perfect storm of failures might bring down your application, but if you have NO redundancy, your application will fall over under the same amount of load.
This article is long on condescension and short on enlightenment.
That's because of the NON-insiders trading.
I don't understand. The article talks about how there is nearly no publicaly available proof that these tests actually work, yet they're selling them in drug stores and hospitals all over the country? And all we know is that supposedly "Theranos' labs have been evaluated and deemed acceptable by drug companies, hospitals that work with them, Walgreens, and others"? Why is this legal?
Serious scientific papers are written using Latex, not Microsoft Word

You'd be surprised. I know labs publishing multiple high impact papers pretty much each year and then some more less high impact papers and they all use Word. Also PowerPoint for posters. Probably not the best tools for the job, but I see that often in research.
This is ridiculous linkbait with no substance. Man alive, as if there's ONE use case in the world for front-end development!
ah, I believe if we got into a deep conversation about that here it would be a bit of a derail. You can e-mail me at sevensharpscales at gmail dot com if you're genuinely curious about my thoughts on this subject. Personally, I don't think they'll be of much interest.
The question for me is whether you can retire the FE issue with a BE dispatch, and if so pull in another FE issue.

Almost certainly yes. It's supposed to be fully out-of-order, which means it should have a fully functional scheduler in between the FE & BE.

Not to mention, given modern memory latencies (vs. clock speed), letting the FE run ahead is important for performance.

If this page is getting lots of signups...I would guess many of them are signing up because they want answers to those questions...but might have no interest in converting into users...

Yeah, the worst part is companies like Amazon will expect you to eat multiple days of PTO to go through their screening process. Hell, I feel this way even tho they have recruiters trying to fill quotas that contact me about jobs at Amazon :|

> A person I'm familiar with has a severe endocrine disorder

He said "unselected patients". The point is, some random guy with no preexisting condition might not actually benefit from being able to measure shit in his blood more easily. It could mostly lead to false positives, stress, and unnecessary costs. The only way to know for sure would be to do a study on it... but Theranos doesn't seem to like doing studies.

Making blood tests faster and cheaper would definitely be a good thing, but it's possibly not a completely transformative thing.
