I think we are vastly more conscious of this sort of thing than we were, say, in the '20s and the '30s, and that consciousness is going to help us screw up less.

Which isn't to say we aren't screwing up some things now; I'm just saying that we're getting better at this sort of thing, in the two steps forward, one step back kind of way that humans as a whole seem to get better at things.

Founder of Codenvy. There are 400K projects built on Codenvy hundreds of on-prem cloud installations. When we look through the saas project types, about 60% are Java and the rest are scripted language types. When we poll our saas users, most of them are in teams of <10 or working as individuals (students). Project types typically include student projects, web development projects, open source contributions, and virtual labs (setting up a complex dev scenario for sales, marketing or other purposes with factories).

Our on-prem customers are enterprise. So a lot of WebSphere, WebLogic, maven, ant, node, Oracle DB, SQL Server, Postgres.

We also have about a dozen OEM customers that use Eclipse Che or its derivatives to create new embedded or hosted IDEs. SAP is adopting Eclipse Che at the core for building new business applications that have dev IDE built in. IBM is doing similar work with Orion on BlueMix. WSO2 is embedding cloud IDEs into their API management servers using Che.

We try to capture real user reviews, which always help. A lot of the cloud IDEs are on these sites:

Yeah, it's the same about the "real-world-news". I watch the news once a day on TV (in Germany, there's the really good "Tagesschau." 15 minute round-up of what happened during the day on public television), and read a weekly news paper. No breaking-news sites, no news-outlets in my RSS reader. And I still feel well-informed.

Show HN: TwistedWave, a Web-Based Audio Editor with an API
The only thing that has really changed is that information distribution is flattened and networked now, rather than top-down authority. Everyone has the same megaphone. We're not closer to 1984 every day - we're getting farther from it, every day. 1984 was all about centralized authority, not distributed opinion.

If you're getting accused of "fostering rape culture", I strongly suggest that rather than feeling victimized, you ask some women what they think of your position on a situation, and listen to them. Don't lecture, and don't whine. Ask trusted female friends, not strangers. And if you don't have women in your life that you can talk to about it, that's probably part of the problem.

Always have an open mind and be willing to change your opinion based on deeper understanding and better facts. It's possible to express even radical views without offending, if you are openminded and respectful. People react poorly to dogmatism and distrust.

They don't. The files are stored on the server.

I imagine that one can upload local files to the server, but when you're saving a file or compiling, it's all being done on the server side rather than locally.
> local belief is that you are either incompetent and can't finish the work assigned to you in your normal work schedule, which will cost the company money to train you or hire a replacement, or your manager is incompetent because he over-assigned your time and it will cost the company money when you finally burnout or start taking shortcuts in your work.

That belief makes too much sense. To be a belief shouldn't there be a contrary believable belief? I wouldn't want to be part of the other retrograde group who believes something else.
Hi HN,

There is a small flash module used to record audio, but I will be happy to get rid of it as soon as we have a browser with support for the AudioWorkerNode.

> Second [...] In that case, why use 2PC at all?
Heuristic decisions are in the XA standard since its first version (1991). YMMV, but they are very often used (to say the least) in 2PC production systems. See for example how Mark Little describes them: http://planet.jboss.org/post/2pc_or_3pc. Not really presented as an optional thing.
It shows traditional databases are not that 'CP at all cost' when it comes to managing failure.

> Your conclusion is correct [...] the resulting algorithm is not C or A
Yeah... I see 2PC as not partition-tolerant as a partition breaks acid-atomicity. Once partition intolerance is accepted, CA fits well: 2PC is consistent & available until there is a partition. Saying '2PC is not consistent and not available but is partition tolerant' is not false technically but it's a much less accurate description.

> Third [...] datacenters full of commodity servers [...]
> redundant NICs and cables, located next to each other
> [...] It isn't hard to believe that you could build a system, like that,
> in which you could add algorithms that were CA

I just totally agree with you here. CAP as a categorization tool is used for all types of distributed systems, but there is a huge difference between an application built on commodity hardware running in a multi-dc config and a 2 nodes system running on redundant hardware in a single rack.
Typically, 2PC is historically used on very specific applications: few nodes, a limited number of operations between the nodes, expensive redundant hardware all over the place, limited scaling out needs (if any). Not your typical big data system.

It would depend entirely upon whether you wrote all of the C++ code and thus provided yourself with C wrappers inside an `extern c` call. In which case, yes, it would be simpler (though still with an interpreter layer going from C to C++).

However, if you use an external library, or you are interfacing with C++ overloaded methods or classes, you have to write an interface inside the `extern c` wrapper which handles calling out to C++ code.

Of course, there is always the option of running something like swig to create the C bindings for you.

[1] EVIDENCE IN WHICH I PRESENT THE NOVEL AND FAR FETCHED IDEA THAT BOOKS ARE GOOD (tm): Last night I read some shitty paperback about some traveler following the route of Marco Polo through Afghanistan, written for a 1980's audience. Cool, I get to find out what Iran / Afghanistan / Pakistan was like in the 1980's & what Marco Polo thought about the 3 wise men & the possibility of how this related to a myth in Zoroastrianism & that there was a parallel myth in a small town in Iran, and that Mathew may have been writing for a Zoroastrian audience, which presented the interesting idea that Jesus may have been a prophet of the Zoroastrians in a way that it was said he was for the Jews. I'm not religious or anything, it's just interesting.

For the cannabinoids themselves, certainly. Now, what's a good way to refer to the products that are sold in head shops and all sorts of other places? They are a blend of plant materials laced with a one or more synthetic cannabinoids.

Synthetic cannabis does not seem wrong here.

These sorts of issues are quickly going away. While it is true they have not been entirely eliminated, there are some architectures rolling out that should eliminate them. There are a couple technology problems various teams are trying to solve. First is that the editing experience has to be local fast. The new Monaco project coming out from Microsoft soon is an adaptation of Atom that is getting to near desktop editing speeds, including aspects related to Content Assist that require processing of large files in near real time. The second is internet connectivity. Increasingly, the editors that are being embedded in the browser will have transient services that can co-locate within the browser, enabling continued editing / saving even while the connection is offline. These technologies, as they mature and the edge cases are ironed out, should work to improve this concern.
Modern CPU's are so complex I'm not convinced that one can reason about the performance implications of micro optimizations such as the div trick. Perhaps the 0.001% of developers that specialize in, and understand how said CPU's work might be able to, but for the rest of us, we have profilers.

There are so many layers of abstraction and so much to understand in modern computing that it is a Bad Idea(tm) to tell engineers to not profile.

Ask HN: Are you currently using or learning a functional language?
Very much so.

To try to avoid it, I'm ignoring anything political or opinion based on my Facebook account. I've added opinion blogs in my RSS reader that are obviously intelligent and thoughtful but completely infuriatingly different from my own opinions. Once in a while I read them and try to force myself to keep an open mind. It's tough.

I'm trying to avoid using Reddit for anything but stuff that relates to hobbies. Unfortunately a lot of them are starting to get depressingly political. I might have to cut Reddit off entirely if it keeps up.

I get my news from news agencies. Their stuff is significantly less biased than newspapers and news blogs.

I'm starting to read more new litterature. Rethreading the same old stuff that's sure to reinforce my opinions is unhealthy in the long run.
Doing an internship is sometimes more 'profitable' than not doing one. If you go with one of the big companies, you'll have a similar to full-time new grad salary plus free accommodation of really high quality that would normally cost you in the Bay Area easily upwards of 3k a month.
Why would you use anything other than "standard" dev environments for student interns?

You've probably ironed out many kinks in your dev environment, and can help them when they run into them. You run risks at alienating your interns with un-manageable errors.
It's been my experience that tech internships are paid some reasonable fraction of what a full timer would get in exchange for a more interested program of work - I get paid 50% of what a full timer does, but I get more training and more flexibility in what I work on.
This article claims that it takes one extra gallon of fuel for 100 pounds of weight on a domestic airline flight:

http://www.budgettravel.com/blog/overweight-passengers-cost-...

I don't know how accurate that is, but it passes a basic smell test for me.

An olive is about 6 grams, so the per-olive fuel consumption is about 0.0001 gallons. Jet fuel currently costs about $1.70/gallon, so that's about 0.017 cents per olive in fuel.

To save $40,000 in fuel per year by reducing olives, you'd be flying about 200 million fewer olives.

American flies about 500 million passengers per year, so $40,000 in fuel savings could be achieved with about 0.4 olives saved per passenger.

I have no idea if this actually happened, but the numbers look about right!
It's probably even more complex than that. Just took a quick look at the original Schengen Agreement: they only talk about harmonising visa policy. According to Wiki, visa policy is still set by the EU and all members of Schengen Area must abide by it.

Because it intersects with most of what you're doing. Why is that process supervisor I'm using crashing? Oh, it's still using select(2) instead of a modern I/O multiplexing mechanism, and exceeding its FD_SETSIZE limit. What do all these calls mean in my tracing output?

Is it really people passing of as 80-Hour Workers, or is it that they just solve the tasks given to them without creating additional work for their bosses?

Are the successful guys fakes or are they doing something that we could learn to be more successful hourselves?

In any case I would be interested in more in depth stories of these successful guys to learn from them. Choosing the right tasks to work on, for example, seems to be a very important strategy. I would love so much to read more details about how to do that. And especially in this case, if I would be the boss, I would appreciate people with that skill more than people without that skill. Someone with that skill will be able to pick most of the low hanging fruits and might also be more able to solve the really necessary ugly tasks, because he cares about getting it done.

He was asking for his inhaler during the initial arrest (aka complaining that he was having difficulty breathing).

I don't pretend to be informed enough to say how likely it was he sustained significant injuries prior to the arrest. I guess I think it is more likely that the significant injuries came after the arrest, but given further evidence that more clearly established the nature of the injuries and indicated it happening prior, I wouldn't simply deny the possibility out of hand.

It looks like even if it did happen prior, they still hugely screwed up by not more carefully assessing his injuries (the typical thing to do if a neck injury is even suspected is to immobilize it as soon as is possible).

One piece of advice: don't put C, C++, etc on your resume unless you're really comfortable with those languages and want to focus on them. Your resume highlights your design skills and projects using web technologies. Great! Focus on those!

For example, your Github has no examples of C programming skills and your resume doesn't highlight any projects where you'd likely use C. If you were interested in getting an internship where you'd primarily be programming in C you'd be better off focusing on highlighting projects that interest you which use that language. You'd stand out if you had contributions on Github or your own libraries or applications on Github written in C.

Profiling is great when you have hotspots, but too often these things are plagued by a death of a thousand cuts.

Serious question: why else would you go?
I also have some experience working in Germany and I feel you are right with the hours but that's not the point. Even if everybody wants you to work just 40 hours people still have unreasonably high demands because they don't understand the complexity of the situation they are in (coworkers, bosses, customers all the same). So you still need to find ways to satisfy people without always doing exactly what they have asked for.
