Sure, but on an evolutionary scale, humans and other dependent species have time to catch up to the changes. That's not true for changes wrought from GM.

Our company had a horrible experience with Elastic Cloud: 1. We were provisioned hardware that was less performant than promised (HDD rather than SSD-backed.) 2. The dashboard suggests significantly lower memory utilization than reality. We

There's also Nightmare, which is built off Atom. We ported all of our PhantomJS-backed headless tests to Nightmare recently, and it's paid in dividends: http://www.nightmarejs.org

Natural gas releases less CO2, but it releases more methane in the shipment process, which is far more potent as a climate change agent than CO2. Depending on which estimates you buy into on the amount of methane lost, natural gas may be wo

I know most job boards are pretty noisy, but there are a few that are really good. Depending on the city/industry you're interested in, there's likely a niche board - including HN itself. I'm at The Muse (YC W12) - I thi

I've been writing Rust too, but I'm not why the argument that it'll reduce the attack surface is glib. It can't prevent all security holes, though, because nothing can.

Parallelism necessarily implies concurrency [1] So, "SIMD concurrency" is not incorrect (although SIMD parallelism is more correct :) 1: http://programmers.stackexchange.com/a/155110

The assumption there is that a regressive tax policy "lifts all ships." Piketty (and plenty others) have demonstrated that this does not happen.

How do you then prevent a regressive tax policy, given capital is almost the exclusive form of wealth accretion for the 1%?

I was a $BIGCO intern in 2011. I only hung out with Justin briefly at that time, but he more than anyone else got me into the startup scene. He came off to me as both rawly honest and friendly - attributes that are usually mutually exclusiv

> Difficulty is relative. If you don't study modern C idioms your C code will be crap. Same goes for Rust. That's not a valid argument for why better tooling can't help alleviate some of the difficulty. > Honestly using

We made git-fit, which was inspired by git-media: http://github.com/dailymuse/git-fit On the plus side, it's stupidly simple. On the down side, it's stupidly simple. The readme explains how it works.

You can deadlock in purely message passing code, even if there are no blocking sends. See an example in Erlang: http://james-iry.blogspot.com/2009/04/erlang-style-actors-ar...

You can have "implicit" currying behaving as you described in a dynamically-typed, strictly evaluated language as well.

I think the point they're making is that the Go community is unusually pitchfork-ey. Having used Go since pre-1.0 days, I certainly agree; there's a very strong sense of, "if you want <feature X>, you're doing it w

Why should this be the "most controversial theory"? Have we already forgotten what triggered the Arab Spring, and consequently the power vacuum that created the IS? The only thing off, as far as I can tell, is the remark that &quo

We ported a major production site from python 2 to 3 a year ago. Exactly one bug has come up - something to do with unicode encoding on a relatively minor part of the site. Thanks to 2to3, the concerns for bugs coming up in porting are way

I feel like this is the direction Julia is going in. It's in this interesting space between statically and dynamically typed languages - technically it's dynamically typed, but you get a lot of the safety and performance guarantee

Don't believe the hype. Google has been saying that they can execute javascript for years. Meanwhile, as far as I can see, most non-trivial applications still aren't being crawled successfully, including my company's. We rece

We use Chartio at my company. If you haven't tried it yet, this product is stellar - almost all of our BI needs are handled directly by stakeholders rather than having to go through an engineer, and their support is very helpful and re

In my experience, this isn't really true. Google still can't crawl most non-trivial javascript-powered apps, and if it doesn't work, there's little insight on what you need to tweak to get it working. It hasn't been
