> What does lack of generics have to do with concurrent vs non-concurrent data structures?

Generics allow building reusable forms of complex data structures, reducing the cost in developer effort of each specialized use. By not supporting generics, Go increases the cost of each specialized use of complex data structures, which narrows the range of circumstances where the cost will be justified by the benefit.

Whether or not "the problem calls for it" is always a cost vs. benefit question, and Go -- compared to languages with support for generics -- increases the cost of this particular solution.
It doesn't avoid them. You listen to events, and then you change your model. Based on new model view is rendered using the code you provide (one way rendering - model to code). Then React compares the two instances of rendered view (before the event and after) and renders the changes if there are any.

>IE is still very popular and defaults to Bing. Firefox is very popular and now defaults to Yahoo or Yandex or Baidu depending on the country you're in...

That's not true . (maybe IE is more popular in some corner of the world , or among some users but) We all know in search engine market share , google is ruler and leader, without even a serious competitor. (recently maybe bing become a little more viable).
Does not matter you (as company) put yahoo or anything else in your browser default homepage , most people will use/switch to google.
Need for search engine will be increase with Internet and population growth.And I think this will end up with Google's exponential growth in compare with Apple or Microsoft linear growth.

> The majority of their revenue is advertising, and the majority of the advertising revenue comes from search ads, so search is exactly where their revenue is coming from.

Yes , exactly , because of that they don't care if they create some "free" OS better than Windows. Like what they did with Android. They just want better IT industry , better OS , better PC. Because with increasing IT users , their revenue will increase.

>huh? I don't see how that could possibly be true.

I see this problem in reverse order , with Microsoft giving up on bing, Google will end up without any serious threat to its income and core market share. And recent years already proved my , Google wants everything , after a while their ChromeOS will be viable replacement for Windows.They will push gaming on Android. and etc etc etc , and after years mayble Microsoft will end up where Companies like Novel are today .

But these are my view , I could be wrong.

I dare to say that most Ruby code is written in Rails projects and we almost always know were a method is defined, because of conventions (models, views, lib, concerns). It's when the developer is too smart that we get into troubles. The only project where I needed ctags in the last years was a php zend application that I had to get familiar with to be able to design its v2.

So it might be another issue with Rails' influence over Ruby: not many chances to move beyond the fence (me too.)

That's why I used the word took, Docker used LXC as a base till version 0.9, untill it got enough traction, at which point it basically recreated LXC with libcontainer.

But that was not the point. The point is you have always had perfectly usable end user containers from the LXC project even before Docker. Then a VC funded company Docker bases itself on LXC and markets itself aggressively and suddenly a lot of users think LXC is 'low level' or 'difficult to use'? This messaging is coming from the Docker ecosystem and the result is the user confusion we see on most container threads here.

Informed discussion means people know what OS containers are, what value they deliver, and what Docker adds on top of OS containers so there is less confusion and FUD, and users can make informed decisions without a monoculture being pushed by aggressive marketing.

But that discussion cannot happen if you are in a hurry to 'own' the container story and cannot acknowledge clearly alternatives exists and what value you are adding exactly on top. I see people struggling with single app containers, layers and lack of storage persistence when they are simply looking to run a container as a lightweight VM.

The 'open container movement' is yet one more attempt to 'own' the container technology and perpetuate the conflation of Docker to containers. How can a 'open container movement' exclude the LXC project that is responsible for the development of much of the container technology available today. It should ideally be called 'Open App Container' because there is a huge difference between app containers and OS containers. OS containers provide capabilities and deployment flexibility that app containers simply cannot give because they are a restrictive use case of OS containers. Containers technology as a whole cannot be reduced to a single PAAS centric use case.
You're thinking too narrowly. Your point is correct, but the broader point is that there should be those same work opportunities spread out around the country so that you don't have to move to SF or wherever to get a good job. That is what hurts the economy on a broader scale.

Employment is "sticky" in that personal mobility can't move as fast as capital mobility and that seems to have led to concentrations of wealth.

When you're small (startup), hiring is a reflection of founders' values. When you grow big, it's a reflection of your company's values.

First hence, be clear about what your values are. It's not easy to figure those out. You have to interview several candidates and introspect after each interview, to narrow down on what you want. It's a bit unfair to first few candidates, but overall it works out better. Once you arrive at a nugget of values you can cohesively describe, you design your interview process and questions based on what you've arrived at.

Also realize that you cannot design direct questions to probe for values you want. You have to demonstrate that value yourself first and see if they get excited with it. e.g. if one of your values is transparency, you can't ask "are you transparent in your interaction with people"? You have to tell them some things about your company or the role that they are not expecting you to disclose and see if they value that.

If coming up with core values is too hard or too vague for you, then start with these three: Curiosity, Humility and Hard work. You won't go wrong with these. Most high performing people demonstrate these values.

In order to probe for these values, you can ask pretty much any reasonable question, and then pick up on cues. e.g. if it's a programmer interview, you can ask them a difficult coding question/assignment based on their background. Then see, if they ask good questions (curiosity)? Do they test their code (humility)? Do they give up, or continue to push through (hard work)? Don't expect precise answers to your question, but look for these signals.

When picking questions, you should prefer questions that are "peeling the onion" type questions. i.e. start with a simple question, let them answer it and then add constraints. Keep adding constraints/twisting until they are able to answer it. That will give you great insights into how they think and how they value.

Hope this helps.

Reddit's moderator system isn't perfect, by a long shot. As with its voting systems, it's subject to abuse: calous moderation, power-tripping, and a lack of integrity, if not outright corruption. Reddit's own rules make ensuring quality moderation difficult -- admins cannot remove moderators unless they violate site rules. This leads to situations such as /r/xkcd being overtaken by a group of neo-nazi holocaust denying anti-semitic MRA promotors. Eventually resolved (see the subreddit's wiki for details).

But: Reddit absolutely relies on moderators. Which means that it's putting power in the hands of an unpaid workforce.

I actually find Reddit's moderation tools and systems pretty useful and better than most, though I manage only two small subs (each <300 subscribers)

So, no, individual Redditors may not individually care about the personal plights of moderators, much as you probably don't put much thought into the working conditions of the person who installed and adjusted the brakes of the car heading toward you. But you absolutely have a vested interest in the consequences of their work.

Thanks for the suggestion. Yes I agree that knowing each other beforehand is strongly desired. However, when you really reduce it down to the actual reason, I think it comes to trust. Knowing someone and working alongside them builds a trust relationship that carries you through. It's becoming apparent through the responses of the survey that the platform will have to address building this trust level , whether that's through a short term program with networking, or something else - i'm going to work to figure it out!
Don't fall for it. The goal here is to blame the leak, make people believe that because of this leak terrorists now have more power. Associate leak with terror increasing their power. Pretend that the software is a "natural cause" that had to happen anyway, and only this irresponsible leak is the problem.

This has been building up for a long time. Recent events was just the catalyst.
For people who might not be economists, let me give some background.

Paul Romer is a quite influential and famous economist who is one of the creators of modern "endogenous growth theory". Growth theory is about coming up with simple models of how we think economies grow over time. His theory suggests that economic growth occurs because of innovations that come from features inherent to the society that is growing, and each step of growth has a feedback that affects the next phase of growth. So for example, the amount of knowledge in an economy determines the level of growth, and growth dictates the level of knowledge in the next phase. This is against exogenous growth theory where growth is as a result of exogenous technological innovations that arrive randomly and shock the system. He's widely tipped to win the Nobel sometime soon for this and related ideas.

Now, Bob Lucas, another famous macroeconomist and growth theorist (and Nobel Winner) and his co-authors have been in Romer's crosshairs for some time because of what he calls the "mathiness" of their work. He defines mathiness as something that "uses a mixture of words and symbols, but instead of making tight links, it leaves ample room for slippage between statements in natural versus formal language and between statements with theoretical as opposed to empirical content." (http://paulromer.net/mathiness/)

In a relentless series of posts and papers, he's been asking questions at the root of whether macro-economics is a science, how it works and how it could be improved. Hackers might like his "Illustrating Mathiness – Code Analogy" (http://paulromer.net/illustrating-mathiness-code-analogy) where he compares poorly done economic models with bad code.

Rough translation:

WikiLeaks has just published new documents about U.S. spy targets in Germany, according to which the NSA has been conducting comprehensive surveillance on the BRD government for decades. The eavesdropping is said to have gone as far back as the Kohl administration.

The federal government has apparently been under surveillance longer and more systematically than has hitherto been assumed. Yesterday evening the leak-disseminating website WikiLeaks published a list of telephone numbers that are said to have been targeted by the NSA. Among the 56 numbers are dozens belonging to high-ranking officials in the Chancellor's Office -- both during the Bonn era as well as after the Government's move to Berlin.

In addition to elected officials, non-elected officials responsible in the foreign ministry and intelligence services were targeted. The list is quite impressive: among the 56 numbers targeted were high-ranking officials from the administrations of Helmut Kohl, Gerhard Schröder on up through Angela Merkel. Around two dozen numbers are still active today, some of them dating to the time before unification, when the Government was still located in Bonn.
> But average people just can not resist the lure.

This is simply because there are few alternatives. The Chinese people are making more money than they need to spend, and as a lot of them do not trust the government to honor it's promises about pensions, they want to save the rest for old age. The Chinese government does not like the very positive savings rate, and tries to force it down by limiting the ways the people can save and invest money, by imposing tight capital controls and limiting domestic investment opportunities. What's left is the shadow banking system, which could collapse at any moment, domestic stocks which are terrible, real estate which has limited opportunities, and weird stuff like hoarding gold.
I think you have captured the nub of this issue. I read the article and then shared it among my Facebook friends after seeing it here. There, my tagline was "I'd like to see this happen, and that's the truth, but I don't expect this to happen, because I see Internet technology used every day to spread lies around." Truth-seeking is HARD, because it disturbs personal prejudices, and many people don't make the effort to seek truth even when verified facts are spoon fed to them. (I should probably write that last part of that last sentence as "everybody prefers factually incorrect prejudices to verified facts at least some of the time".)
I've been thinking through this a lot and intend to do a similar thing - but not immediately, and not without traction. These days, I think that moving down to SF without traction will probably mean you'll get a lot less made a lot more expensively, and you won't be all that more likely to raise money. After all, you're just another person who's there for the gold rush, and there are a lot of them, even if there's still a bunch of angels.

If you still really wanna do it, are you Canadian or Mexican? You can incorporate in the US, and get your business partner or whomever to sign your TN visa letter. Definitely go the TN visa way - though you'll usually need to back that up with proof of a technical degree or a lot of experience, because even if the "Computer Systems Analyst" says it just needs a bachelors of anything, in reality border agents will give you heck if your education doesn't match up with your experience.

It's not a 30 second outage! Your domain will keep resolving the bad IP. Even with an extremely low TTL (also not recomendable) ISP's DNS will cache it and even some will ignore your TTL. A big portion of all new users will keep hitting the bad IP.

Anyway, I won't try to convince you to change your setup if you are happy with it, but it's obvious from the comments that I'm not the only one thinking it's a suboptimal solution, so at least some of us won't be considering DO for HA systems given the circumstances.
I'm sorry that you were harassed by Reddit users; I certainly don't approve of that behavior. Like I said before, however, conflating those rotten actions by certain individuals with the larger ideological issues is not constructive. My complaint wasn't against censorship per se, but rather against what appears to be biased censorship. Certain harassment subreddits continue to exist, and it appears that they do so because their ideology is more closely aligned with Reddit management/admins than the ones that were banned. Rules need to be applied equally.

Amid Turmoil, Greece Turns to Bitcoins
Ask HN: Beyond Google, Wikipedia, quora for realtime search
Not sure how to title this. It is 2015 and we have so much information/data available over a variety of resources. Online is just a small part of it.

Google is great at its core. Search for the most relevant online information that is available. These could be existing websites, articles, blogs and some of their own stuff like "what is the time" etc.

But a lot of times, searching for something like "How can I register a company in USA as a foreigner" will at best give a few blog posts or law/accounting firms etc. Then the user still needs to filter through all that noise to see if there is anything that actually helps them.

What if we could create a crowdsourced (i really cannot come up with a better word) network of information related to anything including healthcare, law, business etc and give it a bit more structure ? So think of it as Google + Custom User contributed data but a much smarter resource than wikipedia.

Using the same example above of "how to start a company in US as a foreigner", what if we could invite people who have already done that and get them to write a wiki/structured doc ? Then when someone is searching, this information is presented to them in a very smart way.

The system should guess/know what I am trying to find instead of saying "here are some resources we think could help you". Can we do this ?
