poligeenan, also known as degraded carrageenan, was shown in some studies to be carcinogenic. Some high profile foods had carrageenan and there was some bad publicity due to it.

I am not a doctor, but I do believe that carrageenan has been classified as perfectly safe by the FDA.

And how they run the interview may influence whether people accept an offer should they make one. While the power is definitely heavily weighted in the interviewer's favor, it is important for them to remember they are trying to find someone they want to work with, and who will want to work with them.
Awesome! Now lets see how we make that a CI test...hm... :D

Really? Is this the way? When you asked me, I started thinking - maybe the latency of the keyboard all the way up to my code is known... in some spec. As well as the latency after. As a matter of fact, I don't have any control of anything before and after, so there should only be something in the pathway under my control, that makes sense to be measured.

I definitely will give this some thought, thanks for asking.
The point about revolutions setting you back are fantastic.
Benchpress is a C++11 header only micro-benchmark framework
Okay, but react has a bunch of performance and design pitfalls that one could fall into just as easily as not compiling templates. In fact, probably easier to fall into, because compiling templates is a best practice thats built into scaffolding libraries and discussed all over the place.
This is why this discussion sometimes frustrates me. A lot of the defects we have are because you aren't willing to pay for the sort of software that wouldn't have defects. It's natural to read that as a sort of cynical accusation, but instead, I mean it straight... you really aren't willing to pay what it would take, and you shouldn't be. A $1000 Facebook-access app for your phone (that still somehow has some sort of economies of scale going for it, but that's another discussion) might not crash on you and might take a lot fewer phone resources, but there's no way it's going to be $1000 better than what we get today for free for the vast bulk of users.

On the flip side, the cavalier attitude developers who are on the very, very low side of the curve, where huge quality improvements can be obtained for very cheap, towards those cheap practices also frustrates me. What do you mean you can't be bothered to run the automated test suite that I have handed you on a silver platter on your build server? Are you serious? How can you pass up something so cheap, yet so powerful? And I don't just mean, how can you not be bothered to set it up, etc... I mean, as a professional engineer, how can you justify that?
Ah, I think the difference is that usually when I'm working on something, it's a new problem, and I need some time to not only try to find a solution, but first understand the problem. I find that trying to write a solution helps me to get the problem space loaded into my head.

Different people have different processes, I suppose. And that's a probably a big reason for why people have different opinions on tools: they have different use cases.
So that is probably why they specifically call out that the type of carrageenan in 1.5 is not the same type people have been complaining about.
I would love to see numbers on innovation, compensation, and quality of life of developers in the USA versus Europe. I have my suspicions on how it'd turn out, but a full exploration would be fascinating.

I'm disappointed they haven't fixed the low amount of fiber (16g/day). The Institute of Medicine recommends 38g/day in men [1].

They reduced fiber in v1.4 because it was causing flatulence in some people. This is probably because those people were already eating a very low-fiber (unhealthy) diet; the gut microbiome would adjust given more time.

I am very enthusiastic about Soylent and currently use it (with a fiber supplement). However, I can't in good conscience recommend it to other people without that caveat. I don't know of any evidence for safety of the fiber reduction.

Clicking usernames doesn't seem to work.
If there's one thing I'm thankful for, it's my fourth grade teacher telling me to write with my elbow, not my wrist, on the blackboard.
It doesn't necessarily take much work to run integration tests as diagnostics on production, especially if you plan on it in advance. I've had good success with it.

Of course there's a certain level of destructive testing you can't do live, but that you really ought to do on your development system, load testing being a simple example. It behooves the wise developer to keep these quite separated in the code. :)

Could you elaborate on why that's a problem?
There is a lot of truth to this - Intel's process (and their tools!) is a FUCKING NIGHTMARE
Do you have any thoughts about how you would implement dataflow programming in Snap? I know I'd be excited to see Snap hooked into some of the really interesting streaming data work we're doing at MIOsoft (beyond just the storage of projects).
Dropwizard (a web application framework/library) incorporates the idea of such health checks, and you can also implement additional ones specific to the application. It is encouraged to run them periodically in production to ensure that the database connection is still up, threads are not stepping on each others' toes, etc.

It still needs a bit of work, but I like hosting my own list.
Nim is as safe as any other language. Perhaps it's not as safe as Rust but that brings specific trade offs most people dont wan't to deal with. I don't understand why people think that Nim is "terribly unsafe" when in reality it's like any other language
In business - "the hard part" == "competitive advantage" . If you open source that , soon you'll see more competitors knocking on your doors.

For example, if intel wanted, it could have built a decent FPGA, probably in a reasonable time(there were startups that built decent fpga's).

But building good fpga software ? that it couldn't do, first because it's really hard and second because you need tens of thousands of designs from your customers to run on this in ordered to make good software. That's not something acquirable.
Obligatory nitpick: C libraries should be careful to prefix all exposed identifiers, to minimize the risk of collision. But when you include picoc.h, which is careful to do this, you also get interpreter.h, which... is not.
I'm surprised there is no cholesterol.

"Soylent still contains no significant quantity of cholesterol"

I was under the impression that it was required in a healthy diet. Can we otherwise synthesize it ourselves?
> The extraordinary efforts of our Operations Team have also led to great strides in manufacturing and distribution, ensuring that all orders now ship within 2-3 days.

That's nice to hear. Might look into official Soylent more, then.
Even while running the radar would keep track of communications between the parts and make sure things were still ok. The system needed messages periodically from the external components and vice versa to make sure things were ok. There were status messages sent around too. And a display of how things were doing. Its been a while, but I remember some of the things.

You could command the external things to run diagnostics and report back. Part of this was it makes fixing things easier (like your car computer's diagnostics), part of it was required so we can figure out where things weren't working optimally.

For example if a motor was running its controller computer didn't hear from the main system in X seconds, it would just stop, send a message about what it was doing and then wait for an instruction. Presumably this was to prevent all heck from breaking loose if the main system went down or was not responsive.

This was all spelled out in long requirements documents.

I wonder sometime if our cars controlling computers are doing this...
Not technologies, process.

I am 90% sure that actually taking any organisation and committing to good known process will raise the game by orders of magnitude - so technologies supporting and enforcing said process will be of benefit

And I think the process looks like this

1. Written requirements up front
2. Total isolation / integration points defined and contractually enforced
3. Test harnesses built first
4. Per romance and event metrics built in

Any ideas?
If it was DO-178B/C Level A, then yeah, they'd have to inspect the machine code. Regardless of trusting the compiler.

And the compiler would have to be inspected too.
> I am not a doctor, but I do believe that carrageenan has been classified as perfectly safe by the FDA.

I am not a doctor (nor, more to the point, a food & drug regulation expert), but I do not believe that FDA has a classification of "perfectly safe" that it applies to ingredients.
>> So I think when they mean "bug free", they probably mean the chance of a bug is below some threshold of probability. The famous six sigma rule comes in mind.

No doubt, and that was in fact my point. I think most of us would be very reluctant to use the phrase "bug free," and in this case his statement was obviously meant to be in stark contrast to that reluctance.

SEEKING WORK - SF Bay Area or remote

Generally available for freelance web app engineering work. I've been working with Rails and JS for ~8 years now, at all points up and down the stack. Everything from performance work on existing code to bringing up a full-fledged product from wireframes.

In the past, I've worked with companies like Leap Motion, Anki, Rocket Fuel, and TaskRabbit. Before that, I had two startups of my own. In my spare time, I fly airplanes. Currently fully booked through summer 2015, but I'm always happy to grab coffee and chat.

Cool, it would probably be less complex if the items were at one place all the time, like with a robotic warehouse: https://youtu.be/6EmR0KHBj_M?t=1m
The project I'm working on (for the Federal government no less, and very much not life and death) involves having test data in the production system and tests that run in the production system. (I was impressed by this when I found out.)
"What would you recommend to someone who don't own a laptop capable of acting as a development machine?"

Twenty year ago, this was an important question. Today it's much less important, because machines are very cheap, relative to developer salaries. If you can't, well, it's the whiteboard for you then.

"Or what if you're allowed to use your laptop, but aren't allowed network access to reference Google, SO, or even documentation?"

This would fall under "if this concerns you, fix it then". Granted you can't get arbitrary SO searches, but almost everything has offline/local docs. I prefer them anyhow; the web's latency has not gotten better anywhere near as fast as it should be.
I looked on your website but there is no application for Sales people (I'm one of those, on HN). Can you point me somewhere? or give an email address?
Maybe something like civicrm would give you more ideas/starting point?

I generally agree with this sentiment but it's important to note that they don't know beforehand whether their technology is worth anything or not.

In a way, entering such contests is a way of lower risk in exchange for more modest rewards.

If they wanted to setup a startup instead it would have taken them ages to get the same kind of recognition this contest immediately gives them.

The protected OS is de-privileged though. In order to protect a hardware virtualized hypervisor (i.e., one that also requires VT-x), they need to implement some sort of nested virtual machine.
Recent article that goes into this issue in depth:

Agreed. And it's why, even though it's another play in a crowded space, a friend and I built yet-another-to-do-app. I've tried loads of them, but go back to pen and paper every time.

However, for one subset of the to-do world (regular habits), I think an app can consistently help. I've been using our beta for a couple of months and have stuck with it. (Link in profile if you're interested.)

I think us pen-and-paper types might finally be swayed when AR/VR is stronger and we can interact with our to-do items quickly in a more organic way - moving them around, easily prioritising, associating sketches, etc.
People can travel.
I guess this will only work on untyped languages and where the application isn't checking to see if the value of 'username' is a string

All the more reason to watch your inputs, and assume everything is malicious.
London, UK - Pusher - https://pusher.com/ - Full time - No Remote

The current Pusher product is a multi-tenant distributed system that allows our customers to deliver billions of messages to their connected users. We operate at massive scale, and this informs and affects everything we do.
Our engineering team is based in London. We are looking for engineers who will thrive in a challenging environment, working on interesting problems. Our team is small but growing, and we value people who can contribute not only individually, but in the context of the team. Our engineering team is also heavily involved in operations, so you need to know how to deploy, monitor and maintain a large production system. We wrote our code in Ruby (Main legacy language) and Haskell.

Our software stack is built around Linux, Ruby, Haskell, nodeJS, Redis, MySQL, Git, Puppet and Go.

We are currently looking for Platform Engineers to continue improving and scaling our core real-time infrastructure. More info on this position at https://pusher.workable.com/jobs/52789.
Basically, they're fucked. Altera's next chip was going to wipe the floor with Xilinx anyways. Xilinx has better tools, but they are going to be in trouble now that they are behind in process.

They'll get acquired by someone, probably in a year or two. If they lose their market leadership in the meantime, the acquisition will be for less than 17B.

They really need to invest in their software and tool flow right now. That's where they have a strong lead.
Something I did not mention in this article -- which I note I wrote eleven years ago -- is that in the time since I have occasionally had candidates say "I get anxious when writing on a whiteboard, can we do technical questions on my computer?" In those cases I have gone to the extra trouble to set up a problem on a computer, and then had the candidate explain their solution to me.

So I have tried it both ways, and I see very little difference in the outcome. For example, I give a problem on detecting whether a tree is out of balance. A great many candidate makes the same bug; they check to see if the subtrees are balanced without also checking to see if the subtrees are of similar height. They make this mistake whether they are writing the code on the whiteboard or on a computer, because the error has nothing to do with how you are writing the code, it has to do with the thought process that happens when trying to translate a clearly-written specification into one line of bug-free code. Candidates who are informed that they have a bug solve (or don't) the same way on a whiteboard or a computer: by reviewing their code, re-reading the specification and thinking about test cases.

That's very manual. If you're going to archive links, why not archive all URLs you visit (with a blacklist you occasionally update)? Disk space is cheap, and you can add in additional functionality like making a snapshot in the IA as well. I wrote my own simple daemon to do this after noting that far too often the IA had not captured a URL I needed on its own, and the daemon has worked well over the years: http://www.gwern.net/Archiving%20URLs

sorry right- weakly typed.

my point is if you are using a weakly typed language, it doesn't care much about developer intent with respect to type. so why would it be concerned with developer intent with respect to mutability? seems arbitrary.
In a democracy and a free market economy, being "right" isn't what makes your opinion matter. These are citizens and consumers. It's politicians' jobs as well as the media's to give them what they want. If they need to believe that spending $7 billion a year on TSA keeps airliners from blowing up, it's proper for the government to spend that money.
As much as that helps, it doesn't yield software, or systems, without faults. The AWS wikipedia page lists a few major outages of AWS[1]. My recollection is that they are generally caused by cascading failures and complex service interrelationships, which are likely much harder to formally prove, if possible.

Not if you need to be thread-safe.

Everything that has to be thread-safe uses channels. I use channels to sanitize everything for a purely synchronous game loop. As an optimization, in cases where there are atomic operations available, there are places where concurrent code can mutate values visible to the game loop, but this is strictly an optimization technique, to be used judiciously. (So only values like "speed" can use this technique. Anything that's a reference is verboten.)

How would that work with multithreading? (Assuming you had a thread-safe GC, which Nim's isn't.)

I didn't realize Nim's GC wasn't thread safe. In my current architecture, you'd only have to worry about the part using channels to sanitize things for the synchronous game loop. If everything outside of the game loop was written such that most everything was allocated on the stack, the GC would never have to collect anything outside of the game loop. So maybe it could work as a port. I couldn't say for sure, though.
> think it's because they want to get a glimpse at the process, not just the end result.

I absolutely agree that this is what they are after, but it is a very poor way to extract the information. The interviewer basically hands over his preferred tools and asks you to build something sane out of a pile of vague rules under extreme pressure. Its a close metaphor to real-life where a client (in-house or otherwise) will hand you a pile of vaguely defined rules, someone else gives you a particular toolset and then you go about your job, but it is broken.

Remotely performed and turned in code tests (if crafted correctly) are a better assessment of a developers abilities along with code samples of his / her work. But I think all of that should be reserved for people without an established work history. I have excellent references. I have a solid work history. i passed the code test. I have code samples and open source code. Why in the holy fuck am i writing with a marker on a board or worse, answering a riddle?
