This sounds like a list of excuses to be lazy and rude.

It's quite possible to be extremely critical while remaining respectful. Of course, you avoid criticizing the programmer: that goes without saying. But saying "it sucks" changes the tone of the discussion to a confrontation and that is rarely the best way to handle a corrective situation.

Point out the errors, introduce the dev to the quality standard expected by the team, offer help if needed. But treat people as peers, not as cretins that your manager forces you to work with.
Exactly my thoughts. The near silence in the MSM and tech press is most... curious.
UMIST is top 3 in what rankings? It's not even Russell Group!
There is a list of songs that content ID knows about here: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/ad_supported_music

responsibility for the failure does belong to management, certainly, but taking away all responsibility from the employee for producing poor work is amazingly populist, but not particularly helpful to the reality that the person is unable to do the job assigned.

I'm assuming such this is some of that good old low-current class warfare you get in tech circles... all managers are stupid and evil, all engineers are pure and virtuous. that's the same sort of thing that leads to Aaron Swartz being lionized for breaking the law, because the prosecutor sought a ridiculous punishment.

a failure in process does not have the side effect of absolving individual responsibility.

Well given that you _have_ mentioned it, why don't you want anyone else to mention it? It's obviously relevant.
"those two to three months when pirated versions were unavailable must have reduced the overall level and impact of piracy" - (referring to game sales of Spyro)

I think that is a pretty big assumption to make. Pirates that can't afford the game at all will just wait the 2 months. And people who are die-hard Spyro fans will pre-order or buy in-store so they don't have to wait the 1 week to a few days for the game to be released on torrent sites, or deal with any bugs caused by the crack.

There are people who are in the middle of those two groups, who are good at pirating, have enough money to buy the game if it's not available on torrent sites, and don't mind the inconvenience / moral-dilemma caused by pirating. But I wonder if the sales to those people are large enough to offset the performance and technical cost of advanced DRM.
At least scrolling and zooming animations can be smoother even if they aren't quite caught up with the finger. shrug
I have not done a census of the various libraries around, but all of the free finite element libraries in common use (deal.II, libmesh, and FEnICs come to mind first) are written in C++. I suspect Fluent and Abaqus are written in C (maybe Fortran?) but they are a bit older.

Trilinos is another C++ example, while PETSc and HYPRE are written in C.

My tentative conclusion from this is that newer projects tend to use C++ and slightly older projects use C.

Yes, there are things like ODEPACK, QUADPACK, and FFTPACK, but those are not under development anymore (as far as I know). The only widely used Fortran library still under development I can think of is LAPACK.

I did not count the occasional 'bespoke' code. There are still some Fortran applications in development for particular purposes (like MOM), but those are harder to survey.
Developer here - I needed a simple solution to monitoring my sites. I liked the idea of it being an app and sending alerts to my phone, however, I couldn't find any good offerings on the market. Everything is either an expensive monthly commitment that does too much (like Pingdom) or is a tool that only monitors from the app when it is open (useless). I made this utility to be cheap, last forever, and do it's job properly with no extra frills. I'd really appreciate your guys' feedback.
I was raised bilingual in German and English, growing up in Germany.
For me both languages are very different and to this day I prefer English when I want to talk about ideas and areas where I explore while talking and I use German when I need to be precise. I could never pitch in German and really don't like talking about my projects in German, since everything needs to be exact and committed to.
If 90% of players pirate and if your statistics for how many players there are for a given game usually come in the form of "number of sold copies", then you could be severely underestimating the size of the potential userbase; feeling that you are getting a small piece of a small pie, while in fact you're getting a small piece of a much larger pie.

Statistics on pirate behaviour are sort of hard to come by anyway -- if you buy games at all, you're not really a pirate, you're someone who downloaded a game they didn't know if they'd like, or you didn't have money at that moment and wanted to check it out, or any other explanation. Over the years, me and my friends, have basically bought every game we've played. On the other hand, if you habitually pirate and never buy, game developers aren't interested in talking to you; in fact you're basically a criminal in their eyes, stealing their profits. I really wish to see some sort of study disentangling these two groups and finding a way to talk to and understand the latter group. Why they do what they do, what motivates them and so on. Once you know that, you can start addressing the issues that drive such behaviour.
Stanford is at a crossroads right now, because it could take its immense wealth and influence to clean up the Valley and, if it did so, that would be a great thing for everyone. What other institution would be capable of bringing the moral leadership that the Valley needs? (You can't say, "you, Michael O. Church". While technically correct, you'd need to get people to listen to me. In 3000 years there may be a NoSQL database named after me, just as there is one for Cassandra now.) Stanford has clout and wealth and immense power. It also has (despite the bad ones who get lots of press) a lot of really good people in its student body and professoriate. Unfortunately, these resources aren't being used right, because the culture of the Valley is anti-intellectual, status-driven, clubby, and run through with every dark aspect of human nature that universities were supposed to educate and elevate humans out of. It needs to show moral leadership rather than caving in to crass commercialism.

It could start by de-degreeing some bad actors, and making it public. Evan Spiegel's earned it with his frat-boy era behavior, and Lucas Duplan with that stupid fucking name (Clinkle) and that picture of him with the fat stacks. I'd go further. Caught red-handed in age discrimination? Degree's gone, and professors will be disciplined if they refer students to you or invest in you. Put stack-ranking in your company? Congratulations, you're no longer an alumnus, and the reason why will be made public.

Stanford isn't a bad institution at all, but it needs to show some leadership if it wants to gain the respect of the East and the North. It very much can. Plenty of the professors and classes are top-notch already.
Your comment regarding the gravity was really insightful for me (I didn't learn PID formally). When I put large values for i, the ball just oscillated and I couldn't see how i is useful. After I added gravity (in my local build, not published), I began to see how the integral affects the control. That's awesome!

I'm the one who originally submitted this on 9/1/14, FWIW.

I'm not sure if there's any substantial progress update yet. Last I heard, they're still waiting for kdbus to be merged, after which they'll need to finish up the GNOME sandboxing features, and only then will they truly start.

Given that kdbus is receiving some shaky reception, it might prove to be a while.

The weird thing to me is why Nix was never brought up. Not only that, but Lennart was actively avoiding the question when he submitted this to his G+ feed.

Interesting list. It's also interesting to see compare the lists for different ranks and see how the focus changes.

e.g. Enlisted get a lot of books about courage and valor, higher up guys get recommended books that seem more like cautionary tales.
You've confused the meaning of spam with opinions I don't agree with.
I never had to give a scathing code review but every time I had to give one with a lot of requests for changes I would always point out why I'm making each request - with links to style guides, articles about code quality, code smells, best practices etc. There are also automated tools that can do some of that for you (codeclimate.com comes to mind) so that you can delegate some of your 'work' there.

BTW from my experience teaching people to avoid nested control flow is one of the simplest things to do - just show them how many different code paths are possible (and how many tests would be required to cover each one) in a function with 4 nested if's.
One downside is that it breaks searching using the browsers in-site search function, which I probably would try to use in many situations where this might be used.
Disdain for the suit is a counterculture (aka American mainstream culture) touchstone and as such is just as much an example of group membership as wearing a suit is for a different group of people. This is why you frequently hear stories on here of people not getting hired because the candidate wore a suit.
They got rid of most of the IPO pricing restrictions ages ago, now the primary driver is liquidity and margin lending, with official margined shares making up around 30% of the current free float and the Shenzhen market turning over its free float every 7 days (!). To put the margin in context, for the US market its around 3% of free float and you can margin 50-100%

ChiNext is on around 50x earnings now, most stocks above 5x PB. Could go further though, brokers only 2/3rds through their margin limit...

oh but think how much nicer the cable looks without the bulky box of the transformer.
App bundles work for Apple because they have perfect control over the API/ABI stability and what consists of the base system, and then the user applications.

On GNU/Linux, where you work by assembling white-box components, it's not so straightforward. That said, there have been similar attempts: Autopackage, Klik, 0install, Slax packages... none have received widespread adoption. Seems like no one actually cares until you force the ecosystem into it.
Failure Detectors
Actually, the finance sector has this figured out better than most other sectors imo (just consider how much bonus they pay even their lowly analysts after working them to death). A good boss / company there ought to be more about earning money than having money, and so should spare no expenses rewarding employees who bring a lot of value to the corporation... So my point is you want an employer who has the character to reward everyone in the company (including him/herself) based upon some open and fair system of value contributed / need without being prompted, rather than someone who will pay you what he can get away paying you.

But deciding that most inner quality of character is difficult (since it's an hidden attribute on people), so it makes sense to look for various outward expressions of that hidden trait... one of which I postulate to be the question of whether your boss is in it for money, or in it for a vision. In the finance sector, where it's only about money, my postulate admittedly breaks down.

it seems like a very well optimised system that bonds rich investors with already affluent students to generate money for themselves and other already rich people in rich countries.

This is a good first-order approximation. One generally admirable thing about American culture is that it's not acceptable to just inherit wealth and try to rule society. Where this backfires is that it means that rich kids get dumped into the mainstream labor market and, with their superior social resources, take most of the top jobs. VC-funded startups are mostly a mechanism for taking parental wealth and influence (a socially unacceptable thing for the child to live off of) and laundering it into shares of newly-created businesses, so that the sponsee looks like a genuine tech entrepreneur rather than the beneficiary of a managed outcome (acqui-hire!) put together by his parents' friends.

There is a lot of technology work, even right now, that improves peoples' lives in immensely meaningful ways. Perhaps the people doing such work are a "silent majority" of technology. The problem is that you never hear about it on Hacker News or TechCrunch, and the contemporary crowd of Valley king-makers runs away from it.

If something is worth doing, it's usually hard to do and even harder to control. If several of the constraints are socioeconomic arrangements (e.g. Joffrey must get at least $10M and a VP-level position in the inevitable acqui-hire; and we must let Squabbling Hen Capital in on this deal, with a board seat, because we owe them a favor) then it becomes a lot harder to actually do anything useful. Instead, it becomes "tech is hard, let's go Snapchat".
I agree with your assessment only thing I did not understand is the Erlang integration with other languages. I am not sure if he is saying that NIFs are bad or he is saying there are is not support for other languages. I think non of these are true...

Why do scientists call programs 'codes'? It's something that seems to be particularly common in HPC, and quite rare elsewhere.
Ask HN: Would you buy Solar Bonds?
Solar Bonds[1], bonds issued by Solarcity, pay 2%-5% and can be purchased online, look very compelling. On the other hand they are super leveraged and have no asset backing them, they are truly naked and finance the most dangerous trench of the Solarcity business.

As a rule of thumb, English in ASCII compresses 8:1. I would guess that log files compress even better because they tend to be repetitive.

Edit: well best case is 8:1 if you put a lot of time into it. Gzip with default settings is more like 4:1 which is still significant.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_relativity

I'm not sure I can feel it personally. I suppose as with many polyglots, I tend to speak different languages in specific contexts. So it's hard to compare, which I guess is why these researchers are setting up specific situations to do this.

For instance, I only really know science/business words/ideas in English. I couldn't do a degree in my first language. And it's awkward to talk business in English with my family.
Dude, Hacker News has been battling this weird opponent for more than 4 years.
I'll agree that the sentiment "death to C" is hyperbolic and unrealistic. A very, very long term phasing out is more realistic. :)
Dave was an excellent CEO and the nicest guy - everyone at SurveyMonkey liked him and liked working for him. This is just devastating news.

I guess somehow they got the idea that someone could breach the firewall between the entertainment system and the flight controls, and insert a bogus entry in the right spot to trigger this.

Frankly with all the scaremongering going on with computer security these days i kinda agree with Torvalds policy of not highlighting security fixes in Linux patch notes.
I was never that good of a Japanese speaker so someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but to me it felt like there was a lot more ambiguity about things in Japanese than in English. And I definitely found when I used it for long periods of time, even my way of perceiving the world around me changed, in a way that seemed closer to how the Japanese I knew perceived it. I never knew if this was a cause or an effect. And I _definitely_ experienced, as you say, knowing that there was no way to translate something to English without losing its Japanese "feeling".
No, it can't generate a PDB file itself, at least not today. Maybe in the future the MSVC linker will be able to generate one even though you compiled with Clang/LLVM (it does that already today but the PDB file is almost empty).

You can definitely build obj and lib files and link them with files built by MSVC. That works well.

We also support putting DWARF debug info (the standard format) into the binaries, and the LLVM linker LLD will link them and you can debug the resulting program with the LLVM debugger LLDB (or GDB for that matter).
In those areas I guess you just install it inside the home somewhere, which is the whole point of making it look decent.
It's a bachelor thesis... probably doesn't aspire to be the new authority on HPC. :)
It starts even earlier than business school, with the kids who campaign to be president of ten different school clubs just for the sake of being in a leadership position and being able to put it on their resumes. American culture really encourages this shallow sort of leadership by entitlement, while truly great leaders almost always earn their authority through a medium to long period of hard work side by side with other people, not necessarily as a follower, but at least as an equal.
No one cares Why You did anything. These "Why I..." Articles are self-indulgent narcissistic click-bait. Utter trash that shouldn't be published.
I would rather say doesn't translate as is, from my experience in French, English and Amazigh languages (order or proheficiency). It very rare to miss a word except specific things like the famous manyfolds words used by iniuits to describe ice.

But what is causing the irregularity? Is there any benefit to conjugating "to be" differently to everything else?
Hiring indiscriminately doesn't sound so great either.
> What's wrong with giving exactly that feedback?

Giving feedback on a code review is really meant to improve small bits here and there. Incremental improvement. If someone doesn't know a new language construct, a better way of doing things, etc.

If someone simply writes crap, telling them that they wrote crap isn't helpful ... because they're clearly incompetent and are only capable of writing crap.

> If your managers pressure you or your coworkers to "go easy" on the quality (ie. "It works, let him check it in!") then again you have a big problem.

This is really the issue. First, you'll piss off the incompetent coder. Second, you'll stall the project. Third, you'll piss off your boss, since he's probably the guy who hired the incompetent coder.

All the while, you're "making waves". All based on what is essentially your opinion on what clean code should look like. Because it does run.

I would just take it slow and incrementally target some of the worst offenses. You'll never make the guy into a competent developer, but you can at least ameliorate some of the worst offenses and improve the quality of the code.

If you're actually working on the codebase as well, instead of just reviewing it ... I would talk to management. Explain the situation. They're either going to fire the new guy or you're going to need to find another job.

One of the reasons I like freelancing is that I don't have to face these dilemmas. The next client is just around the corner.
Short reply as I'm on a phone, but thanks! I can add an option to pick the nth field, and to skip the first X lines of the input; I think this'd cover your use case!

Quit my job now or wait one more year?
I live in Seattle and I am a sort of PM for a construction firm. The last two years, work has slowed down and since I am hourly I don't get to work much over time, so no extra money.

If I wait another year before quitting, I can finish a management BA/MA online which hopefully would make it easier to get another higher paying job. Also I could have another year of profit sharing at work.

If I quit now, I could spend a whole year learning to program by working in entry level positions and working my way up as I learn. (I could also still do online school for the degree, which is not that hard)

My main reason for leaving would be to get a technical job where I get paid 100k+ in a couple of years after getting experience. Currently I feel stuck financially. I know some Python and Swift and I want to take the full stack and ios nano degree certificates from udacity.com . Currently I don’t have enough time to fit all the learning in. I spend at least one hour a day reading and practicing to code. I want to learn Go, Elixir and Rust next.
