Keywords support is currently quite naive. This filter definitely needs to be more sophisticated. While writing the feature I just wanted to make it as simple as possible, covering the vast majority of cases with a very straightforward policy (no punctuation marks, no symbols, spaces, etc). I agree this limitation needs to be improved.
>I know my text editor very well so that I can write efficiently. I know my compiler well enough to use it to build my programs in the various configurations I need.

Aren't these somewhat different details to know tho, compared to knowing the insides of git? Knowing the commands, and options available in an editor is familiarity with an interface. You don't need to know exactly how it stores the buffer so it can stay responsive with large files, you don't need to know the rendering algorithms involved, etc. etc. Just the same, I don't think being able to use a compiler effectively depends on knowing how it does register allocation, or knowing if the parser is LALR or recursive descent.

These are all implementation details. Good interfaces generally abstract over them, and present the user with what they need to use it. Version control being necessary doesn't change how people should approach learning it. At least, no more than we should expect good drivers to understand piston engines. (Though, drivers of manual transmission cars should probably understand clutches. Maybe Git is comparable to that?)
it's a bit expensive to live there

This is heavily location-dependent and also dependent on lifestyle factors. Raising a family in Tokyo as rich expatriates (the lifestyle that e.g. Citibank managers adopt when "in country") would require an income pretty deep into the six figures (in dollars). However, 22 year old employees of Japanese megacorps take home salaries which are less than typical San Francisco rents and make them work.

The ramen profitable number [+] for me in Gifu prior to getting married was about $1,500 a month if I were cooking Japanese food and about $2,000 a month when I was eating my usual diet, which included lots of meals out (not too expensive here) and Western food (quite expensive). An example of the difference: I find it literally impossible to do a taco party for friends for under $60, where if we were having a typical Japanese dinner that could cost $10 to $20.

[+] Edit: This is really important: while $1,500 is indeed ramen profitable, if you attempt to use that level of income in support of getting or renewing an engineering status of residence, it is highly likely you will be ramen deported. The examining clerks have wide discretion in how they define "enough" income but "at least as much as a Japanese person" or "3 million yen" are much more common than "ramen profitable" in sustained applications.
It would be interesting to know the amount of background efforts in the years prior to these "sudden groundswells" (which makes me think of the overnight success myth). For example in the civil rights situation, a a t of stuff happened in the background of WWII and immediately after in the army, as well as having lots of academic and popular writing going on.

I'm also interested inthe demographics of the social graph of the wave of support. I suspect it starts in the 20somehing crowd realizing that they are allowed to have their own valid opinions and taking up the banner that was conveniently placed there for years prior waiting for them to find it. All those years it was available were formative years for those people and the idea was floating in the background, therefore not foreign.
Not every STEM major can write a quality, detailed, qualitative analysis, with proper jargon.
Yeah. Your not wrong. But you do have a choice. I'm not going to put up with it. Software dev has driven me to the edge of suicide because it has reduced me to a coder. And I'm a terrible coder, I'm a very good big thinker, but thinking in the small scale, logic problems of coding? Terrible and yet this is my job as a coder. I can't take it anymore and I am out. I've quit my job and am trying my hardest to get a business analyst role. No luck within the first 2 weeks of looking. I'm not sure I'm going to get anything. But I'm never going back, doing so would probably kill me sooner or later. 14 years into a career :( but I'd rather work construction than this shit.
>The average amount of energy needed to load each of the twelve web interfaces, along with each one’s endless fragments of code, was 30 watts.

What is that supposed to mean? A watt(= 1 J/s) is a measure power so energy per unit of time. Shouldn't this rather be given in joule?
In the end, it's the customers who lose
If you have credible source to this version of the Cuban missiles crisis, I'd be interested to hear about that.

I have seen insanity on both sides but from reading both US and USSR propaganda, the latter was even less rooted in fact than the American one.

I just joined a 70 people company from a company with 50K employees globally....and loving it here.

At my past company I worked on an important module, it was well tested, everyone loved it. After 2 months it was on the 'path' to be released after 2 months. At this company I worked on something last week and we are looking to release it in 2 weeks (with enough QA).

People work in mid-small companies. Big companies have smart people but they get LAZY and eventually the culture builds up on you.

It is important to work for a big company and get exposed to the culture......as these are the people you might make products for, these are people who may put money in your company, etc. I would RUN after spending 2 years.
Each machine has its strengths and weaknesses. I find that stationary bikes tend to get really uncomfortable after awhile, too. My posture isn't the best and I feel like I suffer on a bike because of the hunching I feel like I have to do in order to grip the bars in front of me. It's also worth mentioning that a mediocre seat can definitely be painful after a period of time.

In the bike's defense: as a runner, spinning on the bike is an absolutely awesome to maintain cardio-fitness after a running injury.
That wasn't so bad, and here I thought you were about to wage holy war against me just for asking...
Yes, I understand that. You can configure the system tray to hide icons from specific programs. That way you have every icon except for Opera. The program need not include an option to hide it.

First, are they bringing you in as a "co-founder" or an employee? Makes a big difference. If they are bringing you in as a "co-founder" then you should expect a little more in terms of equity and what rights you have. If they are bringing you in as an employee then you most likely will be subject to the stock option plan they have.

Either way you will want to know how many shares are issued, outstanding currently. It may be helpful to know who has what percentages, but they may not be willing to discuss with you depending on your relationship with them. Also knowing how much funding they are seeking and at what percentage they are looking to give up. This way you can determine how much dilution to expect when they do.

If they are bringing you in as a "co-founder" it's hard to say what to expect in terms of percentage. If they are considering you an equal and you are 3rd co-founder than you may see as high as 1/3 of the company. Most likely though it will not be this much.

On the other hand if you are under the option plan, you will see a very small percentage compared to the overall outstanding. For example, they may have set aside 10% of the outstanding for the stock option plan to cover all employees. You will see a small sliver (under 1%) of that.

Voting rights, well unless you are a co-founder and are on the board your "voting rights" will be minimal at best.

You will want to know what the vesting period is. That is how long before you actually own all the stock. You will want to know what the strike price is (that is the price at which you will have to pay for the stock/options).

Personally, unless I truly believe the company is going to take off and see a acquisition down the road, I don't look to equity to get rich. Your chances of making millions on stock/options in a startup are minimal at best, especially in the case of options. Not to discourage you, but that is just a fact of the matter.
I hope this "innovation" makes more people stop going to the movie theater so the movie industry can blame piracy for it.
Instead of focusing on engineering schools, if NYC wants to attract engineers it should focus on its elementary, middle and high schools. Engineers value education. Engineers usually do not make enough to afford fancy NYC private schools, and most engineers are not going to send their kids to NYC's public schools. So even if NYC succeeds in attracting young engineers, it will lose many of them as they start to raise families and leave looking for better public schools for their kids.
If Chaos Monkey hits during a test, you just run the test again. Multiple tests are a good thing, after all, and the failure might expose a weakness you wouldn't have seen otherwise.
I've often thought that alien civilizations would also probably invent asymmetric cryptography pretty much the same as us: Lattices, Diffie-Hellman, RSA, etc. Those are all based on very pure mathematical problems. Whereas symmetric cryptography, while it all does need some common themes like diffusion, there's no way an alien civilization would design something that looks close to AES or SHA2. They'd have symmetric ciphers and hashes, but they'd look quite different I think. I'd love to be convinced otherwise on this.
> Huh? Dragging and dropping things into modal dialogs sounds like a terrible way to do anything.

This sounds exactly like what the proxy icon functionality in macOS does.
You’re describing credit card fraud and more often the banks eat up the loss and issue your credit back. They don’t bother investigating further then write off the loss in tax. Wire transfers are usually available to withdraw immediately so it’s really hard to recover. Some wire frauds take months to recover via court system. That’s why real estate wire fraud is popular and more complicated over time. Overall crypto is not as bad as you think.
Hopefully Google can push the foundation to stop adding bad complicated language features like pattern matching or the walrus operator to the language.
As expected since Chris Lattner left Google, and TensorFlow conferences kept having content on S4TF.

They should just had chooen Julia.
Based on what I saw in the movie, didn't read the book the rate of infection is unrealistic, at least the time it takes from initial exposure to full on aggressive zombie mode was a few seconds. Realistically this would take much longer than that which means we won't end up with hordes of zombies instantly.
> is that this is some right-out-of-college 22 y/o entry level sales person (SDR) who was likely told to to take this list and message everyone on linkedin 1x1.

We don't know that

It could also have been that this person, just in the company and wanting to make a sale has used leads he wasn't supposed to act on.

I can definitely see an inexperienced person doing that kind of mistake. Not blaming the guy, he was just trying to do his job and meet his targets.

But I've seen a lot of "stupid" things done by new people at a company with various degrees of "making the customer or other departments annoyed" (in sales and in technical positions)
"One: Short deadlines can be really effective. I know 37signals isn't always a popular source here, but their idea of setting a deadline and then adjusting the scope of your project down to meet the deadline and just release the thing is a powerful one."

I like this. In fact that's what I'll do. Tonight, I'll simply create a functional spreadsheet and save the bells and whistles for another time. A minimum viable product, if you will.

"Two: Do you have any sort of accountability? A co-founder? Having someone you're answerable to can be really useful. Don't be worried about them taking your idea and executing it better than you. Have someone who can challenge you. Ideally, you can challenge them on a project of theirs."

No accountability. I've always fancied myself as the Lone Ranger type. I know in theory that it's good, and have even experienced its benefits firsthand.

"Four: The motivation you mentioned is being rich. While there's nothing wrong with that, it's a bit of an abstract goal. I generally prefer for my projects to solve concrete problems that I'm having. Is there any way to pivot your focus, off of money, and onto solving the problem? That might motivate you more than money. YMMV."

Hmmm, I'll have to give this some thought

"Best of luck with it."
Thanks.
That's true. I'll try and nail down that quote if/when I decide to leave.
Good thoughts. To answer your main thoughts, maintaining custom reports on a generic platform is itself a major cost. I agree I'd love the repeat business but I think my approach is dead simple enough that I could easily hand it off to existing tech talent within a company.

My main thought is that rarely can a company pull either their business or tech people off of "working in" the company to "work on" the company for a few weeks to improve their reporting.
This has been down voted. But there is a grain of truth. I have worked in several american companies and often the directors were tall, white, gray hair, and good looking. In one case the director was like that and he had a guy (brasilian born japanese) who was really sharp and handled all the operations. When they moved to other positions they moved together. Clearly they were a team. One was the PR guy and the other one was the one making sure everything ran smoothly.
Edit: added a coma
It would have been better to see a comparison with SGI (ex-Rackable) CloudRack systems, which have a bit of an inbetween approach, using Xeons, but at least nominally seem to pack in more cores in the same enclosure size. One of their power tricks, in addition to pulling back DC converters further from the computers, is to allow things to run hot, resulting in savings on cooling costs.
I read it to be they created a chip that runs code written to emulate/virtualize most of the other (non-cpu) logic on a motherboard.

That's exactly what I meant by "virtually (de)muxing everything but the CPU." I should have said, "CPU+chipset," though.

I wonder if their architecture is also (unintentionally) optimized for languages like Ruby/Python? I suspect that languages like those tend to have more CPU operations per IO operation. I wonder if anyone has researched this metric?

No offense, but in another thread that's at the top of HN right now ('Ask HN: Please explain short selling?), you're asking people to explain what short selling is. Based on that, I'm not sure I trust any predictions coming from this system, at least not on the sell side. This is a complicated problem you're trying to tackle, which requires a thorough understanding of the markets.
Wait a sec-- So someone can write an opinion, and that's ok-- but hey: no one critique it, ok?

But if I write an opinion-- that's not ok. But you-- you're allowed to critique my opinion.

_______

Let's apply your logic to your replies:

Well, jack_riminton, It seems like I've touched a nerve.

Why did you feel compelled to comment on my commentary, when you could have just ignored it?

Why are you critiquing my opinion if you're making the case that opinions should not be critiqued (and should simply be ignored if a person is in disagreement)?

______

Ohh.... Now I see. You're the one who posted the article.

Well, everything is very clear now: Simple bias.

______

Note: You never followed up when I questioned the premise of your claim "he could be right." It seems you're not interested in analyzing whether or not he is right. So what's the point of even posting this article?

Yet the purpose of my entire thread is to draw attention to the fact that him being right will not result from conclusions of a poorly contrived, low effort, pop-tech article.
Yes I do grow some food. I also eat as much organic food as I can. I also am a thoughtful and careful buyer of all things. But medicine stands out above all other industries b/c it has extreme life-and-death consequences. For the companies involved, to make money there is a strong perverse incentive to have sick people. Compare it for instance to the police. How do you think we'd fair if the police were all run by private corporations and you had to pay them for service and protection?
>> "The correct response is to dial 911"

Is this not a bit of a waste of police time? Why can't you say "You tried screwing me, this is all I'm giving you. Got a problem? Ok, I'll call the police." Reading some of the comments in this thread it seems like people are seriously scared of taxi drivers. It's like any other business. If a restaurant tries to charge you for something you didn't order you don't pay them for it. You don't immediately call the police.
I always forget that my ad block extension is active. Makes sense. Thanks.
In the anecdata of my family & friends who have done both, they have come to expect a higher percentage on bar tabs (~20%) than on restaurant tabs (~15%).

There's a ton of factors to consider, of course. Some people get angry when drunk, some get loose with their money, some try to impress. Some people are surprised by large bar tabs and feel cheated. And all the normal factors, like that certain groups are notoriously tight with their money.
In general I agree and am as anti-64-bit blocks as it gets; but I don't think it matters in the specific case of SSH.
Yet summaries without that term often sky-rocket: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2002255 And more than one HNer publicly stated that they read comments first, to see if the article is worth their time.

This only make sense if "tl;dr" is considered as a swear word here at HN. Is it?
This is exactly my problem with cloud computing and web apps: relinquishing control over your data.
And to paraphrase Benjamin Franklin, he who gives up freedom for convenience deserves neither.
Then again, all ML eventually is used for real-life prediction, so you ought to be able to buy a lunch if you really want one. The GA here is a fun start that'll introduce a training algorithm; there are plenty of gradient-aligned steps forward.
Agreed about the churches, but if by schools you're referring primarily to universities, well...don't those donations help fund financial aid for people who otherwise wouldn't be able to attend?

BTW, are you the R. Branson? You never know on HN...
I want to like Girl Talk, but that's just too many samples per track.
It sounds to me like you need to do pre-authorization transactions to do the hold. When looking at gateways, check that their API supports it, and how long you can do the preauth for.

I use Beanstream for processing, and they aren't too bad. I've also heard good things about the API for braintree.
The technique sounds promising, since it avoids the typical problem of gene therapy, which is how to get CRISPR past the immune system into every cell in the body. With this technique you can do the CRISPR procedure in vitro.

A big downside to this treatment is that as far as I know this kind of chemo can make male patients infertile.
The sense of smallness of the self is probably what causes the claustrophobia. The last time I read of agoraphobia was in an Ian Fleming novel!
If you really did any serious work writing template metaprogramming code, or were aware of what happens under the hood with libraries that were developed with it, you wouldn't be criticizing recent contributions to improve it's UX, for both developers and library/module consumers, as a trainwreck.
I think I get it now. You're basically who Gilfoyle was representing in SV! It makes sense now

Good article. I would expand the conversation to why we don't have better TV on demand over any device. Hulu Plus was initially promising but the advertisements were too long. I would like the option of paying a small fee and having no commercials. For old TV shows, Netflix is close to perfect.
Even proof of work has a flaw. It underestimates some of the drive of these people to make make a few bucks. How much would say 200 raspberry PI's cost to network up? For proof of work to 'work' you need to get past the cost they would make on it. All you are doing is slowing them down which they can make up in volume of cheap devices. It does not 'solve' it. I have seen them setup rooms of low end Android devices to do things. This is not out of the realm of possibility.
Too late to edit my original comment but a lot of people pointing to the "peg" as proof that Tether is legitimate.

The only peg that exists is the one whereby you should be able to go to Tether Inc and redeem USDT for USD 1:1. That peg has never ever been demonstrated (publicly).

All the other "pegs" are just cash trading. If I trade USDT/USD on Binance...I don't actually have USD. Even on that pair, my USD profit/loss are denominated in USDT.

For anyone who disagrees with the above - please show me market where I can go sell my USDT directly for USD.
No, not a specific political difference, more of a differnce of socio-economic/age/class/possibly even race. As we saw at the last election Corbyn wasn't that popular with some traditional Labour voters.

Perhaps we will see some changes now that we are getting stories of Hard Working Families (TM) having to spend large sums of money to buy Cannabis based medications for their children.
They did spell it out in a law: the one that was just overturned. I expect it will be very difficult to come up with a wording that will stand up to the scrutiny of the court.
There's many bitcoin derivative exchanges which allow you to short, in addition to the CME's contract.

You seriously think RT should be given the same credence as the BBC?

Now that's worthy of a laugh.
isn't that the main theory for Zebra vs Horse domestication?

Heirarchichal structures in Animal societies is directly correlated to suitability for domestication.
You can see it in videos of people who do have them as "pets." They, like monkeys, are just constant stress/work. And very destructive.
