Really hard to fit years of relevant experience on a single page; you'll see a lot of two page resumes from people with more than a few years of experience. Of course college students don't have two page resumes, they don't yet have enough material that actually needs to be on a resume: they typically have a skills section, an education section, one or two short-term relevant jobs, and maybe enough fluff to fill the rest of the page.
Not meant to counter your argument, but at least one compiler out there (GCC) is - in my experience - very good at finding optimizations for x86 but fails most of the time for ARM unless you provide very clear and very strict hints in your code. NEON optimization is one of them. It wouldn't be the first time that GCC completely ignores intrinsics in my loops or (I kid you not) introduces 16-bit Thumb code in my 32 bit code. Very frustrating to constantly have to second-guess your compiler.
In the last year alone, he has increased profits by around 20% (which is 5 billion dollars, not pocket change). People don't give him enough credit.
"You can stand on the shoulders of giants, or a big enough pile of dwarfs. Works either way." - (wish I knew the source)
Based solely on my previous experience with a "flow-based" programming system, which endeavored to make programming financial decision logic a matter of connecting boxes, it's the 80/20 problem. It makes 80% of the work dirt simple and able to be completed.

The remaining 20% still needs to be implemented in code, and takes most of the time. It got so bad that they actually ended up implementing "code" objects, just so the code could be edited and incorporated into directly into the tool instead of around it.

This page describes receiving WebMentions. If you're looking at sending them, a while back I implemented that in a small npm library as part of a grant. In case it's useful to anyone: https://www.npmjs.com/package/webmen
Coming from EU, I absolutely agree on this one. There is also an API standard that banks are required to implement now.

There are no smart contracts in those systems though, and I guess it will take a long time to implement that - if ever. And without smart contracts you can have no tokens, DeFi and whatnot.
Sometimes I casually flash my B-Unit around or pretend to check the time on it just to let everyone know I have a subscription.

Other times I will go out of my way to send emails from the terminal just so others get a glance at my @bloomberg.net email address. I also have people send me stuff to the email if it's someone I haven't met before.

The Bloomberg Terminal is well worth it for these two perks. It's much better than paying for an @hey.com email address.

Why is it ok in software to pay a 20% - 30% commission?
Imagine if your car dealer would ask an extra 30%

Ok, ok I get it, it's not a physical product but still people get paid to work on it and develop it, and there are income taxes and all that, but really 20-30%?!?!

If you sell a product chances are your profit margin is 20-30% and that it's good, but here in software we have to do a cut for 20-30%, well again 10% it's not going to buy all the fancy tech and spaces in expensive parts of the world.
I think trials for this are beginning - I suspect it would have been a hard thing to include in the WHO trial, as a hospital needs to be fairly sophisticated to be able to coordinate plasma retrieval and cleaning locally (vs buying RBCs from a local supplier).

I’m curious /excited to rare how this dynamic changes once we get serological tests online. Maybe all of the mild cases amongst youth can give enough serum to treat the harder hit individuals.

Here’s a recent discussion about serum:

And that argument would be more persuasive if so much NATO spend wasn't funnelled back to the US in both direct and indirect ways.

The UK has Trident and was supposed to be buying F-35s. A number of UK military and civilian aerospace projects were either cancelled (various examples) or crippled commercially (Concorde) because of US interference.

The Afghanistan and Iraq misadventures are still causing significant political costs across Europe. Meanwhile the US has failed to protect the EU against some obvious and immediate threats, including political interference. (Although to be fair it hasn't even protected itself - which is a different problem.)

In any case - the US really isn't a credible victim of exploitation in any of this.

> It's all in the books. Gang of Four, etc.

No worries, I've read the usual suspects. Taking your example of Gang of Four though (and this applies similarly to the other usual suspects), it definitely does not discuss this observation (and potential trade offs), given it predates common use of structural type systems by far.

I think as professional engineers it behooves us well to prefer actual argument and exposition of engineering tradeoffs over authority ("whole industry does it", "learn from good books").

Seems to be attacking the wrong issue.

Love it or loath it, AdWords does seem to actually work. I usually get a fairly high percentage of advertising targetted towards my interests. The most common way it goes wrong is when it continues to show me adverts for something I've already purchased.

But video ads? I get: A lot of adverts for trading platforms. I have no idea why. A lot of french adverts at work - because our connection surfaces there. However, I'm logged into my account, in English, I see no reason it shouldn't know better.

Youtube seems to have perfected the art of showing me adverts I'm not, and will never be interested in. Whether they have my attention or not is irrelevant.
Microsoft bit the hand that fed them. Most developers I know have found the inconsistencies in IE a huge thorn in their side, and eventually this led to the advancement of better options. That, and it's ludicrous to think that something as open as the web would forever be dominated by one player, no matter how powerful that player is/was.
If there is indeed nothing wrong with the science, then there is a "clear and present danger" of a "catastrophe". In which case, what's wrong with saying so? (Shouting "fire" in a crowded theatre is a sensible thing to do if the theatre actually is on fire. Though in that particular case there might be safer ways to begin.)
Look at it this way. If I'm at a REPL, and I have this:

o = SomeObjectOfUnknownCapabilities.instance

then I can do this:

p o.methods

...and see what I can call. The method names give me no guarantee as to what the methods will actually do ("slice" could return a subset of data, or cut a pie), but once I have the verbs, in either case, I can experiment. That's the important bit here—discoverability isn't about knowing what new things do right off the bat, because that's impossible unless there's a finite set of things you can do; discoverability is simply about being told the affordances, so you can manipulate them and observe the results.

I've tried most of them and they didn't really do what I wanted. I don't want to do all my git commands from my editor, but I want my editor to visualize important stuff for the files I'm looking at. In netbeans the gutter of the open file is color coded to show how the code your looking at is different from HEAD (or whatever).

I just remembered- I bought the house to set up a beauty salon. My profession was a hairstylist - one of the more elite profession. I spent well over $100 on a hairstylist chair (I had to watch the auctions for weeks before one even showed up), and people would pay $2 or more to have their hair cut/styled. For the first while I did it for free- just for the cost of hair gel and supplies. Crazy enough for you?

Other 'elite' professions at the time were body modification (plastic surgery) and coloring clothes. Red was crazy expensive. Every once in a while they'd release a new color and the price would skyrocket.

Crazy times, crazy game.
Right, and the main character of this story never faces heavy odds, nor tries to do anything ambitious, and nobody in his universe ever accused him of having delusions of grandeur... I gotta ask here, have you read up to Chapter 5?
I wonder if you could set up a parallel git-repo that is kept in sync when the master repo via scripting. This way you don't mix the work product that changed (code) and the results of those changes. (screenshots)

Alternatively, it would be cool if you could keep a repo with copies of every working version of the end software product such as abinary file or live website. e.g. chrome checkout <commit-hash>
Why is it that when HN talks about the TempleOS guy, we're all careful with our terminology, but now we're totally cool to call this person "fucking crazy"?

I get that in the former, the man fits the mold of "misunderstood bit-twiddling genius" or related mythologies of the craft, but the latter is no less of a person. Show some humanity.

Besides, what did putting this person in 2 months of jail do? I doubt this accomplished anything other than spending more of taxpayers dollars. If she's "fucking crazy", then do you think 2 months of jail is a deterrent to stalking somebody? Or just something to make sure she's more careful when stalking?

Throwing people with mental illnesses into jail is as effective as spanking a baby. Sure, they might be conditioned to associate certain behaviour with punishment. But it won't fix underlying causes like behavioural patterns, addiction, or value systems.
I haven't found anything really in the same class as a rMBP 15 inch maxed out:

Retina display (anything higher than 1080p would count here, so the Chrome Pixel and the ThinkPad X1 count)

Quad Core CPU

16GB RAM

1 TB PCIe SSD

Ability to drive 3 monitors in addition to its screen

Good enough battery that I am not always thinking about it
under 5 pounds

I've looked at various manufacturers and nobody makes a machine like it, especially at the weight and cost.

The equivalent lenovo, for example, is the Thinkpad W and in a similar high end configuration costs $3700 vs the rMBP at $3200 and weighs > 5 lbs.

EDIT: added pricing example and fixed formatting.
I’m working on a reader app for newsletters (kind of like what Google Reader was). The idea is to remove these things from the mail box and keep it organized in the app.

I’m also planning to add email address obfuscation, similar to what sign-in with Apple provides. That should make it easy to forever unsubscribe from newsletters.

I get what you are saying... I'm just wondering why you feel burned by WPF. They've recently announced that it will be under active development for many years to come. Granted, they've announced new application models, but they haven't abandoned WPF.

Akka.net has been developed as open source for longer and benefits greatly from that, but Orleans is open source and is being used by internal teams at MS...im not sure how that really compares to the uses of akka, but its not really "abandonware".
Most of suggestions people give on this problem is like this;

Problem: Site doesn't work in IE

Solution: Then don't use it.

It is not that easy.

Her problem is really complex one. As i can not answer it on site (protected question), i will try to give some ideas to her here.

She needs to somehow trick the family members and the husband in US. One solution can be getting a fake paper that wants her to give information about the people she is related in US. This can stop family members asking her to come to US, since her husband is not legally living there. But connecting this fake paper to her travel to US is little tricky. Family needs to somehow believe that it is coming from government. Maybe women rights association can help with this one, if she can reach them.

The other option can be to somehow make them believe that she took the flight but they send her back. In this case she needs to find a really good excuse that family members will believe and will not investigate further.

If you think these are reasonable ideas, please let her know on travel.stackexchange, because i can not.
Yeah, I think you're right. Didn't quite a few early C++ compilers just generate intermediate C code that was then compiled down?

That is not a No True Scotsman. A No True Scotsman is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zzSqL--d_I , a Strawman is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGZkCPo7tC0

What that article did was a Strawman, and a rather popular one used to promote grain-based diets.
my bad, removed it. Thanks for pointing me to it.
Wow, I'm the complete opposite. So much so, that I bought an external keyboard with the 3 keys and eraser-knob for my desktop system. Damnit Apple, I'm USING those function keys, Fn-F7 for mute is no good; give me a single button for mute so I can make it shut-up! PLEASE give me a page-up and page-down, for when I need to go up a page and down a page, I also want a home and an end key. (Don't want a numeric keypad though.)

I do, however, very much want the same input - and the closest I've found is a Thinkpad w/ an eraser-knob and an external Thinkpad keyboard w/ the eraser-knob.

I wonder how hard it would be to build an external keyboard with 'a big touch area' out of mac parts - they're both usb to begin with, all you'd need is a sleek enclosure for it.
A person in my friend list has decided to friend a bunch of people based on a simple "attractive person of the opposite gender" criteria. The actions of this one person have significantly polluted my suggestion list. I'm tempted to just de-friend him, but I share an office with him! Easier to ignore Facebook.
nit picking, but many of the words listed (such as "smaller" and "crude") aren't verbs.
Python. I'm sure people will fill in the scripting language of your choice, but knowing at least one is a real time saver. I have lost count of the hours and hours and hours of drudgery I have saved because of being able to fire up a script in short order.Life is good when you can make a 2 hour task take several minutes :-) Especially if that task is something you have to do on a consistent basis

For life in general, exercise has been good. I'm in crappy shape now, but getting back on the wagon. Being in some semblance of shape does wonders for your health and well being. And strength training in particular makes you less of a victim in many life circumstances, like having your snack stuck in the vending machine or moving furniture. The downside, obviously, is that you get asked by people to tip vending machines and move couches...
They go somewhere, and they are instantly assumed to be less competent.

That's a correct assumption for many groups (e.g., college students) due to the effects of affirmative action.

By lowering the standards/imposing quotas for group X, that group will probably not meet the higher standards of everyone else. Thus, everyone will have to assume that members of X are less competent.

Oh, to answer your question: if I could become black, I would.
And Twitter. They couldn't have acquired a better team.
Women currently make up the majority of workers and college graduates because of corruption. Colleges decide admission and grant scholarships based on grades from high school that are 75%+ non math/science * and 90%+ taught by women, who like women more. They then graduate and go into jobs, like teachers or bureaucrats, where being a pedantic, to-the-letter PITA is good for your career.

*Of the 25% that is "science", the bulk of it isn't really, it's just memorizing definitions. I remember in my 9th grade physics class we had to memorize that the definition of a "virtual image" was an image that appeared behind a mirror. They never went into any detail about the physics of lenses, they just found a science term and made everybody memorize it.
I'd like to see what this looks like when run on bond derivatives from the early 2000s. I wonder if it would have been able to foresee the subprime crisis better than the big investment banks.

(My theory, as someone involved in the industry, is that emotion dictates 90% of whether or not someone is going to make a trade. This is why nobody noticed how bad the subprime bonds / CDOs were -- they bought them, so they must be good. I feel the same way about my telephone and keyboard ;)
If you're running a large number of VM's, vagrant-lxc is awesome, so are offsite targets. (digital ocean, AWS, et cetera)

Vagrant also has more options for stateless deployments than Docker: docker, packer, nixos, et cetera.
My early 2011 MBP has had one logic board replaced so far at my own expense a short while after AppleCare expired. This site has been compiling relevant information to those experiencing the same problem, and the #mbp2011 hashtag on Twitter is also a good resource for those affected:

Although I am a Ruby programmer and would hate to have to work in Java, I do adore C# (it is a near-perfect language). And I feel I need to defend this certain aspect of statically typed pre-compiled languages.

1. Dropwizard is not a minimal web service library, it's a minimal web service framework. You could've used just a library, for example this[0] one, and be done in 10ish lines boilerplate that you fully understand.

2. That would also mean you wouldn't need Maven or any XML configuration. Just a bash script or a Makefile that invokes your compiler.

3. There's 3 ways to deal with global variables in the world. The first is plain allow them, and let everything go to shit when two threads access them at the same time. That's how most languages, including Java, do it. The second is allow them, but never allow more than one line of execution at the same time, this is how many scripting languages like Javascript and Ruby do it. The third is 'not' allow global variables at all, and instead only expose shared state through mechanisms that explicitly deal with concurrency like pipes/messages/locks, this is how Haskell and other pure languages do it. (There's also STM, but that's a bit more complex)

Once you know which of the three your language does, you'll know exactly how to deal with it. No need to be uncertain about it.

> my solutions to the underlying problems are fragile ... This is the nature of our business

I think this is a mistake. A lot of business is run this way, though.
> ... error verifications in Go ... you understand by reading your code the places where error can occur or where you decided to ignore errors (By using _)

This compiles:

package main

import "errors"

func main() {
f()
println("hello erroneous world")
}

func f() error { return errors.New("boo") }
Initially I was ripping my hair out with Swift, but after couple months of using it full time, things are much smoother now. I still have doubts on it's production-readiness though.

And the strictness is pretty badass imo. Objective-c feels very imprecise and unsafe in many ways.
That's missing the forest for the trees.

There is a difference between being able to choose between 15 tools and being able to choose between 15 hammers. The point of the article is that we just don't need 15 hammers -- especially as 10 of those are obviously inferior -- and the existence of 15 hammers is incredibly unhelpful.
My impression of Hayek is that he was trying to shut down his opponents by saying "it's not possible to build models which are predictive". Since the models he was criticizing have been vety successful, I think we should take this stance with a grain of salt.
DV certificate (cheapest, most common one) does require only proof of control over the domain.

So dnsdelegation.io can just request certificate for the domain you've delegated via cname from any CA.
I see what you mean, a kind of IRL extension of the "problem of naming things".

I'm sure the opposite exists too, interviewees who can rattle off the names and principles at interview, but don't actually apply them in their code.
I'm not comfortable implementing any form of UBI. In my estimation, UBI will create an easy, explicit mechanism for vote-buying, which will be too much for politicians and voters to resist and would drive the benefit ever upwards.

If everyone gets $50 UBI bucks in the mail every month, and candidate A runs on the platform of raising it to $100 per month, they will guarantee themselves the support of some significant self-interested portion of society for whom this would be a net benefit. Other candidates would be pressured to make similar offers to compete. We already see this kind of thing (farm subsidies, student loan forgiveness, etc), UBI would be more explicit/immediate, and expand the affected block to include every eligible voter.
Just how hesitant politicians are to make the needed reforms to social security, even though we all know that it needs to happen in some form. UBI would be worse.
Is that different to DNRs? It's the job of doctors to make life and death decisions. It's fine to not trust doctors; after experiencing some medical errors I don't either. But often there's no choice other than to trust doctors, if you are on the operating table for instance. Terminal illness is another such case.
VW Jetta does 30MPG in the city, Jeep Wrangler does 22MPG, i.e. 36% more emission. In the winter conditions (e.g. Toronto where I live) Jeep wins hands down. I don't even have winter tires. If you drive kids, the higher and stronger vehicle provides much more safety. Is it worth an extra 36% of pollution? I don't know. But the view that SUVs are just a gas-guzzling marketing ploy is a stretch.
The officials deciding about your status most probably couldn't care less.
