The affordability is only one thing that draws people to Uber. The convenience of the app and the fact that the fare is prepaid (and therefore there is no incentive for the driver to fuck around to inflate their fare) are imho at least as important. If the fare is known in advance I can make an informed decision about whether I can afford this ride. Taking a normal taxi is just always a gamble: will they try to win me over by taking the short route? Will they try to fuck me over? Will they get far and then say that they only accept cash, thus driving me to an ATM and charging even more? Who knows!
Correct. The time step is independent of the compute time.
To be frank, drew answered me RTFM once regarding one of my sway questions. I found the answer valid, because I couldn't find the manual before. As sad as it is, many projects do not ship a man page, which makes it very difficult to find documentation.

Sway has quality man pages, and I very rarely have to find someone else in a chat room or fire up the web browser to find answers. I can understand the devs' frustration: they spent a lot of time writing those up, so have people use them.

Give someone an answer, you'll help him for the day. Show him the man, you'll help him for life :)
The tyranny of rounded corners still bugs me - and these were not even novel , its a modernist aesthetic! Architecture is still ‘contemporary’ since 2000, no impressive progress there, but probably huge horizontal expansion in china.

As for music and even film - maybe they re going through a long winter? Youtube travelogues are more interesting , to me. I think gaming , and virtual socializing has lots of unexplored potential too.

I m not even sure if someone is studying this seemingly quiet cultural period. I think we need someone to record this zeitgeist . Who are the eminent intellectuals that will be remembered in 2 decades?

When I first saw the redesign, I thought it was kinda weird but would probably be great on an ipad. But when I checked it out, the navigation was broken.

I checked it again just now on my iPad to see if they had fixed the problem. This time my iPad was redirected to the "mobile" version of the site - which is just a long list of headlines without any pictues.
AWS platform on a private cloud, it is not the same as AWS platform for us commoners.
A blog post last month touched on this:
"Q: Why is reddit tied so tightly to the affected availability zone?

A: When we started with Amazon, our code was written with the assumption that there would be one data center. We have been working towards fixing this since we moved two years ago. Unfortunately, progress has been slow in this area. Luckily, we are currently in a hiring round which will increase the technical staff by 200% :) These new programmers will help us address this issue."

Not sure if the costs of data transfer between regions (charged at full internet price) would justify the added reliability/lower latency though.
Just wondering if it is standard practise.

Paul seems to write about obsession as something that can be cultivated. In my personal experience, this has been either a personality trait or extreme focus and hard work because of some expected reward. For me this article feels more like a motivational speech rather than an actual theory.

Anyway - my question is this: Is that an elitist thought or is obsession also one of those things anyone can do if only...?
This a thousand !

You don't even need to give them actual nics, just veth pairs with routing (some CNI plugons do just that btw).

I think a big part of why overlay nets are so common is that a lot of the engineers deploying these systems have a shaky or non existant understanding of networking and routing, they are stuck in the "local network and a default route" model and if you only have that, overlay it is...

I'd suggest that you try serving the same people freshly roasted and ground coffee from a clean french press and pass it off as cheap coffee.
Afterwards, serve them the cheapest coffee you can find from dirty coffee equipment and tell them it's high end coffe.

I'd be surprised if they don't prefer the "cheap" coffee.
The only exception is that some people will actually prefer old, bitter coffee made with dirty equipment because they're used to that taste. Just like some people will prefer McDonalds to a good restaurant because that's what they're used to. Still doesn't make good coffee or food "mainly hokum". :)
I disagree on

items.forEach(function(item) {
doSomething(item);
});

being an anti pattern. Many of these looping functions actually pass more than one argument to the callback, so writing

items.forEach(doSomething);

will break if doSomething is a function with optional arguments.
Exactly. "Oh no! Too many people are publishing their code! Developers have too many excellent options (along with many awful ones)!"

It's true that our community could use a renewed focus around best practices, and it's true that the stack itself is way more complicated than it needs to be. In that sense, I don't disagree with the point of this article at all, but it's important to remember that when things grow organically they will tend to get messy, and the alternative (somehow structured growth, governing bodies, etc) is far worse.

As someone with a mild amount of ADD, I disagree completely here. The Internet is way more distracting than people moving around in my field of vision. Having a private office gives me the privacy that I need to "Internet" and that winds up driving down productivity more than I would care to admit. While I haven't actually experienced an open office plan recently, I actually welcome the change to see what effect it would have on my productivity.
I think VB.NET was just tainted by Visual Basic. Back when it was released there was a lot of resistance from the VB crowd where as all the C++/MFC programmers could see a huge and immediate benefit in C#.
I thought it has been solved years ago. Open offices have the same benefits as huge halls in a 20th century industrial factories as long as workers are doing "routine, mechanical tasks". Filing forms, coding html, translating a small specifications into Java code, any kind of a "drone work" - repetitive tasks with a little or no variation - could be done in an open space with the best benefits/costs ratio for an employer.

The only kind of work which cannot be done efficiently in a constant noise and distractions are these "engineering tasks" which require intense mental concentration (or what they usually call "meditating on a problem").

But such kind of high-skilled jobs are about 5% (and the best guys have their rooms, because they are worth it) so there is no wonder that 90% is an open space.

An example of such a task, which requires a quiet place would be "analyzing and decomposing an unfamiliar problem domain into a reasonable, valid metrics/heuristics to be used within machine-learning algorithms, given that you have no PhD in ML or problem domain's field". Very common scenario, isn't it?
Your advice is on the same level as "eat healthy" and "exercise more". It's nice, we should all do it, however for some people it never happens.

And here's the problem - some people just cannot be respectful of other people's time or flow and also you can find a lot of variation between communication styles (e.g. synchronous vs asynchronous) or noise tolerance of people.

For example, some people only want to work from home, whereas I cannot work from home, but on the other hand I need a very distractions free environment. I have really good and respectful colleagues and yet I find myself saying no to requests and interruptions several times per day even, actively declining attempts at synchronous communications between us, just so I could get anything done. This happens to the point of becoming nauseating, not only because "Alex, can you talk?" is distracting enough, but also because I have to say NO a lot. And I'm probably labeled as being a jerk, yet I cannot help being one, because contrary to other people, I really, really need to be left alone when focusing on something.

On your experience, I'm not arguing that the open office in question wasn't productive for you or for your close peers, but have you asked the others about it?
And to be clear, this largely makes sense: humans are not good at preventing long tail failures that require constant vigilance and are not responsive to unlikely punishments, no matter how severe. The thing we have to do is improve the systems in which people operate.

Yeah, imagine investing in things like... the first electricity service provider, or the first telephone, or the first TV. All of those things are multi-billion dollar industries. I'm sure this entire exchange has been played out before for other emergent industries!
So I would love to have/see some discussions on HN about creativity. But I'd prefer to hear less about how some state affects creativity and more about specific creative exercises any of you might've taken.

Travel makes you more creative. Learning a new language makes you more creative. Sure, but... so what, you know? Were we really sitting around thinking to ourselves, "Oh, if only somebody told me how to be more creative?" I doubt that's the case!

I'm more curious to know about how/why some people manage to stick to creative exercises/practices/disciplines more so than others, and how I ought to apply that in my own work.
I like that they're all wearing helmets while in the jacuzzi. Because, you know, it would be completely irresponsible not to.

If you start conflating free speech with child pornography when that isn’t even relevant or necessary to the point at hand then it’ll be no wonder if you lack responses, and maybe you’ll consider that proof of a strong argument, who knows? Maybe that’s even the point of slinging that in there. I fail to see how that will lead to productive discussion though.
I'm sympathetic to all of these, but I do remind myself that sentimental reasoning is probably as close to diametrically opposed to Signal's goals as you could be.

Main Street Hub // Austin, TX // email: brandon.beck@mainstreethub.com

We are looking for a few experienced software engineers to join our small but growing R&D team in downtown Austin. Within engineering we are a passionate group of people who are extremely interested in building the software that helps our customers around the country thrive in their local communities. We’re a really small team (currently 9 people) so you’ll have plenty of say around how we develop software going forward.

We are currently in the process of modernizing our software platform to be more modular and truly data driven. Our goal is to use data to make sure that we provide the right content to the right consumer at the right time. We’re building our internal API using REST based services implemented in Java, and while our front end is currently implemented in PHP, that may change in the future. Some of the technologies that we’re using: Dropwizard, Swagger, Flyway, CodeIgniter, Phake, Guzzle, CloudFormation, Troposphere, and Ansible. All new engineers get company provided downtown parking, flexible work hours, 100% of their health insurance premiums paid for by the company, the ability to build their own work computer, and access to our kitchen with plenty of drinks and snacks. We’re looking for individuals only so please no recruiters or agencies. In addition we’re looking for full-time employees who are already in Austin, TX or willing to relocate.

This is at a high level how one of our Google internal black box optimizers behaves. The term used is "infeasible region" but it's the same idea as using a nan.

I would caution against using nan to always mean infeasible. Instead users should catch experiments outside the feasibility region and return a special infeasible value. This will increase visibility into the behavior of the optimizer, because it leaves nan to be used for values inside the region of constraint that are still problematic (due to bugs, numerical instability, etc)
Interestingly enough, the ultra rich would probably like to move to a sales tax model too. As a fraction of income, I'm sure that billionaires do spend less than any of us.

For a sales tax to derive the same amount as an income tax, it would have to be very large. Warren Buffett said that his effective income tax rate is around 16%. For a sales tax to be comparable, it would have to be, say 32% and Buffett would have to spend 50% of his income on taxable goods.

The author does mention a wealth tax, but does not really elaborate on that.
Some restaurants don't 'sign up' at all.

The apps just populate them regardless of their consent. As in, a restaurant does not want to be on their app, but is listed against their will anyway. Not only does that happen, but the menu on the app may not be what the place is selling nor the prices correct. And the app does not know if an item is sold-out for the day (as may be common with doughnut or BBQ places) yet charges for sales nonetheless.

And these these issues in favor of the delivery companies, they are loosing 10's of millions of dollars a month.

It depends on the software a bit, but I got a taste of "programmers not allowed on production" environment (in a very small scale). The problem I run into is that you have no idea what's going on on the production environment. Some characteristics are maybe reproducible on the dev site, but actual users will always do something differently. Sometimes not being able to poke the live system in a specific way while it's live, will cost you weeks of guessing in the dev environment.

Then again, there is no perfect solution for this, is there? If you tried installing new version with more debugging points, you'd be deploying something unstable over something previously unstable and trying to push more data out which might be problematic in itself. I'm not even going into "rollback to stable didn't work" scenarios :(
$22 was not salary, it was some estimate of the cost of developing on the GPU instance, per day. (Seems high though, should be $2.10/hour * 8 hours unless there are other fees I didn't notice.) In any case, this is very cheap compared to the developer's salary, and since there are multiple cores, could be shared. OTOH, there is some cost to developing on a remote machine since it takes time to set up an environment as productive as the local one you already have.

Fun fact: Nintendo of America and MSFT are both headquartered in Redmond.

Money. Old companies are merged, acquired, or spun-off all the time.

It's completely possible that Nintendo would prefer to spin off portions of their business which, while profitable, no longer align with their primary markets. Consider companies like General Electric; they started off producing equipment around electric power generation, installation, and use (lightbulbs and appliances), then they got into television, radio, computing, jet engines, health insurance, etc. Over the years they've spun off many of these divisions and today's GE looks nothing like OG GE.
