I don't think it is apples and oranges. Here's my next example:

int ComputeStuff(int *value) {
if(value == NULL) {
long and complex computation for a NULL value
return result
} else {
long and complex computation using the data pointed to by value
return result
}
}

Then I call it from somewhere else like so:

// NOTE: value must be non-NULL
void DoStuff(int *value) {
int pointedTo = *value;
// do some work with pointedTo
int computedResult = ComputeStuff(value);
// do some more work with whatever
}

Now, are you saying the compiler should not take advantage of the fact that it knows value is non-NULL at this particular call site and eliminate half of the code in this situation?

LP needs to know that there is basically nothing that he can say that the vitriolic people will accept. He will always be evil and out to get their "free-dums".

This is such a non-issue. How many people build systemd from scratch? Distro's all do their own thing for system time.
While the article focuses on older videogame music, I think more recent examples show the complex relationship between mainstream popular music and videogames. Artists like Austin Wintory (composer for TGC's Journey and Monaco), Darren Korb (Bastion, Transistor), and Michael McCann (Deus Ex: Human Revolution) have created music that would not be out of place on the radio, but create a distinct ambience and mood intended to enhance a setting rather than make the music itself the primary focus.

Because it can be so entertaining without being too distracting, videogame soundtracks are primarily what I listen to while I'm writing code.

Emotional stability as a startup founder
So, two distinct comments:

- We, as a species, tend to attribute way too much credit to the people in key roles and not enough to the people around them. You see this in sports, in tech, and in politics. I wish there was a name for this cognitive failure, because I see it all the time and it really deserves its own name.

- The second point - as to the merit of Musk. You've already discussed his managerial and technical excellence - but for me, what sets him aside from many other highly talented peers (Zuckerberg, Page, etc) is that he focused on very concrete 'solid' problems. Facebook is a marvel, but to me, rocket science will always remain more impressive than social media. This willingness to take on incredibly difficult problems is something that I really admire - which is also why I love what Gates is trying to do with his foundation.
I don't particularly want to be Elon Musk -- frankly, I prefer the life I've built for myself. But I think the world could use more people like him, trying to effect big positive changes. Social networking technology is lovely stuff, but it doesn't inspire me in the same way as NASA's glory days.

I have to disagree. I don't play online games myself, but the people I know who are active players certainly seem to consider the interaction between players the main part. They even choose the game to play based on what their clan/guild/whatever is playing.

As a sysadmin who's embraced Go for a lot of my day to day work, it really bugs me when Go developers do not publish binary releases of their apps.

1) Go makes this easy.
2) One of the advantages of Go is that the program is compiled. Most of the people who want to use your app are not going to be other go developers.
3) Versioning your code is a good practice and if there's a hosted binary release somewhere I can rely on it in my docker/config management process.

Clever (YC S12) - Software Engineer - San Francisco - Onsite

Right now the market for educational software is a mess. It’s incredibly difficult for developers to get their products into schools, and it’s even harder for them to scale. School districts spend tons of money on learning applications, but they have no way of knowing if students are even using the apps they’re purchasing. Teachers know there’s great software out there, but relatively simple challenges like getting 30 students logged in at once make using it impossible.

At Clever, we’re working to change all that. We provide schools with a free API and single sign-on solution that makes using educational apps a breeze. We’ve grown fast: after three years, we’re moving data for a quarter of all K-12 students in America (16M kids), and 36,000 schools are using us to manage their education apps. Our goals are much bigger than that, though. We want to be two things:

-a single place where schools can easily manage and analyze all the software they’re using, and

-a single identity that students can use to see everything they’ve learned across multiple apps.

We’re a team of 60 (25 engineers) based in downtown SF. We’re looking for full-stack engineers who like:

-Go, Coffeescript and Python (or are willing to learn)

-big responsibilities (there are 700,000 students on the platform per engineer here)

-hard technical problems (managing a huge, constantly updating data pipeline)

-tech talks on everything ranging from the history of hip-hop to neuroscience to exoplanets

You are absolutely correct that he does not accomplish these things on his own. That is a valid point that can be said of many people today.

Having read books like "Good to Great" and "Creative Capital" and given my own personal experience at a large company, I raise Elon Musk to the "Super-Man" level because of his leadership. Consider the technical challenges and setbacks that his companies (Tesla and SpaceX) have faced. It is no easy task to maintain the vision and energy necessary to motivate the thousands of people who work for him in the face of such issues and audacious goals.

I don't really consider him Super-Man by the way and I have never met him. I only know how difficult realizing my own visions in life have been. To be in his position certainly requires more of "something" that I am yet to discover in myself. I therefore consider him worthy of my respect.
Does he though? And are those solutions actually viable?

Soundslice - Web designer - Chicago, IL. ONSITE.

Soundslice (https://www.soundslice.com/) is "living sheet music." We make web-based, responsive music-notation technology that you can listen to and interact with. The goal is to be the best way to learn any piece of music.

See https://www.soundslice.com/demo for an example. It's one of the coolest HTML5 web apps in the world that's an actual business and not a project. When I originally posted it to HN, it stayed at the top of the homepage for the better part of a day and was universally praised: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4790636

Soundslice is a small (two-person) business -- you'd be the third. It's proudly bootstrapped and makes money.

We're looking for a web designer. Somebody who's good at the whole design process -- understanding problems, creating mockups, implementing in HTML/CSS.

WHY WORK HERE:

* You'd work on an amazing product that helps people learn music.

* Design is front-and-center of our product. Much of its value is pure design/UX.

* Excellent work/life balance.

* You'd work with me (one of the people who created Django, plus some other stuff; see holovaty.com). I'm an experienced developer and can teach you a lot, if you're open to it.

Email me (Adrian Holovaty) at adrian@soundslice.com.
This will ultimately hurt Apple. They're giving away marketshare of end users who want or need to use some other browser than Safari.

Web browser is arguably the single most important app on any phone. Or a computer. How many browsers you have currently installed on yours?

I should be able to install any browser on iPhone, just like I can on my Macbook.

While I was still using iPhone, that forced me to always reach for Android phone when I wanted to read any page with wrong size font for me. Which is pretty often.

IMHO, there's just one good mobile browser, and it's Opera. Not mini version, but the proper mobile one.

The big feature? It can always reflow any div (paragraph) text to 100% screen width. Always the font size I want and never any horizontal scrolling.

I hope Apple will finally allow other browsers that are more than just embedded mobile Safaris. Including full Javascript JIT support, because that's what modern web requires. Currently on iOS only app that can allocate executable pages is Safari.

Add in favoritism for underdog positioned companies. Tesla vs GM. SpaceX vs ULA.
It's a serious comment. Sure doing it this way would give the government access to all your knowledge(not really a new state of things). But that won't stop commerce - as long as security from theft is guaranteed, which i think can be assumed under government control.
