Almost half the comments here are just to remind everyone that C can/will never be replaced. Is that really the most insightful we can be? Is HN so pedantic now that we can't analyze an interesting language idea, but…
Can we join you guys?
The good news is that most non-founder startup employees never risk losing out on this much money.
SV colloquially refers to the entire region comprising SF, the peninsula, San Jose, and East Bay.
No this is not about separating the work from the man. We're not talking about personal stuff. In his capacity as a senior leader of a major silicon valley company, he actively worked to limit people's employment…
Except lucb1e's critique was actually entertaining, because I stopped reading the post myself because it was just so much fluff. All that high school college la-di-da stuff.
So, in the Bay Area, how should one buy a house?
Lol Walmart people are fat! More accurately: there is a higher concentration of overweight people at a store that caters to lower income brackets. When machines do everything, people won't have to settle for cheap…
That's a very negative opinion of human nature, and a big reason I thought Wall-E was bullshit. Humans enjoy their bodies. We play sports because it's fun and feels good. We enjoy the burn of a good run. We like to look…
All the articles on Magic Leap are short of details. All their YouTube clips have had some questionable element. All we have are breathless investors, a couple of reporters, and the due diligence we assume was behind…
Why is BASIC totally left out? An entire generation was inspired by power-on basic in C64 and other platforms. More than just "inspired"... Some huge amount of today's technology wouldn't exist otherwise. I know I'm…
Y not both?
Strangely, golang adopted this practice of very short variable names. Surprising since golang is so focused on clarity and readability.
With all due respect to Alexandrescu's incredible C++ skills, I find that his style of programming is very detrimental to the overall quality of the C++ environment. C++ is a very abusable language. This is reflected…

What's Google's policy on speaking fees? Or are you just curious how people would emotionally react to find a co-worker making a lot of money on the side?
TLDR: the VP is awesome and loves VR and is working on integrating it throughout Google properties, expect some release at I/O. Unfortunately the revolution seems slow to arrive. Since the official release of Rift --the…
You should probably not comment.
Wow, major props to him for having written four proposals!! Still, he says they're all flawed so far...
Came for a Proposal. This article only provides motivation for generics. Are there any concrete proposals on the table? I don't recall seeing any, and it would be great to work from that and pick it apart. Otherwise,…
You're right that there's gonna be selection bias if one just judges by press. But I've seen this internally many times as well.
C'mon, the point is a lot of people were inspired by a young woman forming a powerhouse medical company. Now we've found out it was all smoke and mirrors for years, and everyone who looked up to her was let down.
Obscene to feel for someone who fucked up their career so bad? It's just common empathy.
I wish more stories about executive appointments were promotions instead of just hiring existing execs. I have zero insight on the person referenced in this article, but my professional experience has been full of execs…
If by done, you mean "a team designed a rigid flow-chart and rules-based engine where you can painfully map out every specific interaction in your system"... then yes!
