You're basically saying that there is consistent negative correlation between performance and social skills - which is not true

I am not claiming any correlation between performance and social skills, I want to say, if performance is good but employee sucks social skills, then HR should help them in some way, maybe guy has a vision for future, but because he lacks social skill, he shouldn't be suppressed.
PaaS solutions are worth more than IaaS I think -- someone is applying security patches, autoscaling your app, load balancing, etc. For a more apples to apples comparison:

It's 5x the cost of Elastic Beanstalk... 250 / (0.067 * 24 * 365 / 12) = 5.11 -- though this is misleading because the closest instance was an m3.medium, which has 3 vcpus and 3.75gb of ram. You can also get a major discount if you go reserved.

It's 0.68x the cost of App Engine F4 instances (the biggest available).. 250 / (0.20 * 2.5 * 24 * 365 / 12), though those only have 1G of ram, so that's assuming you somehow buy 2.5 of them :p

It's 2.2x the cost of AWS Lambda... 250 / ((0.000001667 + 0.000002501) * 10 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 365 / 12) = 2.28, though this is misleading because it'm adding up a 1.5gb instance and a 1gb instance. Also it's likely much cheaper as Lambda only charges you for used time, and almost all traffic loads are TOD / DOW dependent.
Ask HN: Choosing between Web development vs OpenStack development
I am a web developer working with cutting edge technologies like Rails, Angular, Redis etc. Few days back i attended a OpenStack developers meet up ( conference ) and it excites me.
What do you recommend me to choose between a Web Developer and OpenStack developer. I have been working in web for more then 2 years and have good grasp over it.

Thanks
Hinton was a fascinating character. Many photos of him, his family and acquaintances as well as the infamous baseball cannon are here: http://www.academia.edu/1710283/Charles_Howard_Hinton_Pionee....

Hinton provides detailed instructions to make tesseracts in his book, but care must be exercised in playing with these too much:

"A shudder ran down my spine when I read your reference to Hinton's cubes. I nearly got hooked on them myself in the nineteen-twenties. Please believe me when I say that they are
completely mind-destroying. The only person I ever met who had worked with them seriously was Francis Sedlak, aCzech neo-Hegelian Philosopher (he wrote a book called The Creation of Heaven and Earth) who lived in an Oneida-like community near Stroud, in Gloucestershire."

The letter from Hiram Barton, “a consulting engineer of Etchingham, Sussex, England” responding to Martin Gardner about an article of his on Hinton’s cubes.

BTW, his son, Sebastian Theodore Hinton invented the jungle gym (http://winnetkahistory.org/gazette/j-is-for-jungle-gym/) based on his father's prototype.
> Whereas powershell is, a shell. I would have expected it to be more UNIX-like in that regard.

Well they don't adhere to Unix because they're trying to be better.

Pipes pass _objects_ around in Powershell, and the entirety of .NET libraries is available for use in Powershell... including plugins and everything.

http://www.tomsitpro.com/articles/powershell-piping-filterin...

New Microsoft features are available too, like V-Server integration, Package Management through Chocolatey and so forth.

I am not exactly a Powershell guru, but its definitely evolving in a way superior to BASH scripting. I mean seriously, BASH is so backwards that I can't imagine why ANYONE would seriously recommend taking cues from it.

No - we seem to be at a misunderstanding here.

I believe content creators should not deliver their content to me at all if they feel that delivering content to me at a loss is not worth it. I have no privilege to receive their content and they are under no obligation to provide me with it.

The fact that they continue to deliver content to me at a loss shows that they value their Google Ranking and the possibility of me sharing the article to outweigh the cost of providing me with the content. They are making a cost-benefit analysis and deciding to show me the content anyways. The benefits of showing me the content, even at a loss, are superior to not showing me the content at all.

If they have an issue with that - they can bring it up with Google. It isn't my problem that they care about their Google ranking. It's their problem with Google.
Oh, that's clever. Had to read it a couple times to see what was happening.
Rigor is a loaded word, but otherwise I love the proposal. Maybe call it confidence instead, or something?

I'd love this to extend to pursuits outside of science too, ranging from "mathematical result verified with multiple proof assistants" to "this thing I made up and argued persuasively". Unfortunately, most of my arguments for why Haskell is the best language would fall dangerously close to that end of the spectrum :P.
Again, it's not an exit code or return value, it's an _argument_ to the catch block.

I tried to teach myself how to program using it when I was in high school and I didn't understand a thing it was saying. Like I've said elsewhere, it teaches C, not programming.
>Whereas powershell is, a shell

Hmmm.....I think PowerShell blurs the line between shell and full blown programming environment (as in I can build complete WinForms apps in PowerShell).
> But what’s unique about Eatsa is the focus on health and taste.

What's so unique about that? Restaurants have focused on taste since there have been restaurants and have focused on health since there's been demand for it (last few decades). I had an avocado-kale-lemon smoothie this morning from a new place that just opened up in my neighborhood...
You need one byte for the colors (4 bits to specify each of foreground and background) and 8 bytes for the on/off; if you have 1000 cells, then you need 9000 bytes in total.

Another common thing to do, especially on machines just a little bit earlier, was to use one byte for the colors, one byte for a glyph identifier, and then put the 8 bytes per glyph somewhere else, maybe ROM, which was way cheaper than RAM. You could only have 256 distinct glyphs on the screen at a time, and maybe you couldn't even reprogram them, but you could do quite a bit of useful graphics inside those constraints. Text especially, obviously. And you could do it with a lot less memory.

Nonprogrammable fonts were mostly just idiocy, because a quad-input NAND gate would have been sufficient to distinguish a 16-glyph RAM area from the ROM, and 128 bytes of RAM would have been sufficient for 16 8×8 glyphs; also, 5×8 glyphs were actually pretty common at the time. In the VT-52 and ADM-3A era, you had a good excuse; by the time of the VT-100 and H-19, it was just dumb. For better or worse, the less-idiotic Apple and Commodore mostly swept those pointlessly-crippled devices aside.
They were universally reviled when I visited Amsterdam years ago. I don't think I even tried.
Vegetarian food is easier, logistically. There's a lot of food handling precautions you take with raw meat and fish that doesn't apply to raw vegetables... Cook times are also shorter, and as everything can be served raw or cooked, food safety is more or less a non-issue.
As is typical, this doesn't address my biggest concern, which is that I absolutely don't want any ads alongside my content, ever.

Now and forever, I reserve the right to read documents that I'm interested in, without any ads visible. If the web economy cannot exist without this, then I want to find another way. I don't have the answer.

Yes, I'll pay for subscriptions, but this obviously doesn't solve the whole problem. Until then, I'll use adblockers until I'm forced not to or they are out-maneuvered (presumably pretty soon).

We need to stop taking it for granted that the future of the internet is one in which ads are always visible.

This is why I love bisqwit's videos on YouTube. He takes a middle ground between "typing it in" and pondered narration. The typing effect is sped up and faked and done at just the right speed to 'follow along' with his thought process. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQYsFshbkYw
I understand what you're referring to about Powershell ($_ being the current value in the pipe), but what are you referring to by:

Is that common in UNIX? Can you give an example?

Or is that something that isn't really possible?

Great. How many "good" CSS developers are there, and what is their hourly rate? If average developers still can't figure it out after its been around for a decade (see [1]), then the language has failed. At the end of the day CSS needs to usable for regular programmers, or its not very useful as a core framework for the Web.

How are they going to solve the problem of querying into the data that's stored as json? E.g. trying to find all pins whose "link" is from, say, reddit. Just pull out all data and filter them through in client side? That's not gonna scale. Or having a sort of cron job that periodically picking out interested fields in new json data and store them in a separate table? <-- this is essentially what we do in one of our projects, but curious to see how they do it, or alternatives.
How Phone Companies Used 'Supercookies' to Track Customers' Web Browsing
A friend wanted to open a FEBO franchise in London too.

The failure of hot food vending machines to become more widely adopted over the last century, even in venues already selling only pre-cooked food with minimal service, is a pretty good indication that many customer service workers who could have their jobs automated out of existence by better technologies in future will end up keeping them.
They aren't going to become advanced enough (if they were going to, they would have already). But if that was an option it's certainly the better one.

That race they [would be] dependent on is a pretty nice one for the most part.
Nicely integrated infrastructure? AD integration etc?

Lack of choice to. Which sounds bad but can be good. For example Linux you have lots of webservers Apache. Nginx, tomcat all with different config methods.

Windows? Add the web server role, use iis and be done with it.
Are you saying that /bin/sh isn't turing complete?
Not really. For example, following a procedure which behaves well in the long run and provides 95% coverage you could get a confidence interval that contains only impossible values. Consider also the following example: you want to estimate x from two random numbers taken uniformly from the interval[x-1,x+1]. The interval defined by the two random numbers is a 50% confidence interval (half of the times x will be in the middle of the two). However, for some specific realizations (when the distance between the numbers is grater than one) you will be able to say with certainty that the interval contains x.

Bluesmart (YC W15) Is Hiring an Android Developer in SF
The host actually responds with a 301 that redirects you to:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Microsoft/Virtualization-D...

If you're worried just enter the above instead, fully HTTPS-ed. Invoke-WebRequest (aliased to wget in this example) follows 301 links unless told not to, so you're actually downloading the script over HTTPS all the time, but someone could still MITM the link shortening service.
It seems like they still struggle with Security exploits--It's not a perfect system. For example:

I think the value proposition mostly lies in the autoscaling, but seems like a waste in aggregate since most apps never hit any sort of scale.
I'm sorry, but it appears you are completely ignorant of the technological complexities involved in denying a user content based on whether or not you are blocking ads from a third party provider. It has nothing to do with search engine rankings or the trivial potential of "free promotion" by sharing the content. It has nothing to do with Google at all, in fact. I'm not sure where you're even coming from with that argument.
Good points. Can't emphasize enough the need for annotations and smallish patches. The worst for the reviewer is a 2kloc patch touching several dozen files without any annotations.

Positive culture is very important too. Invariably I found that the best way to start a discussion is with a question: "why did you implement it that way?" instead of "this code is wrong/bad/unreadable". Another mistake: starting with trivialities such as deviations from coding style. Spotting stray tabulation is easy, spotting a bug or suggesting better architecture is hard. Lastly, remember that the author has got something working and your suggested changes can introduce bugs, so this possibility should be weighted against potential "improvement".

Giving a good code review is as hard as writing the code in the first place.

What if an exploit is found in the signed copy? Someone else can host the old version which is still signed and supply it to the user. Are they going to revoke the certificate used to sign it entirely?! Not using HTTPS is a sloppy security practice on their side.
honestly, it has no appeal to me and it blows my mind why anyone would find it fascinating... but what do i know, when twitter came out i thought no one would use it either.
In MySQL 5.7 this will be possible because there is a native JSON data type + indexing available via computed columns.

Families exist regardless of marriage, marriage != family, so to claim that attacking marriage tears at the foundations of society and then to move the goal post and say they're attacking families, your must first demonstrate what you're saying is true. Marriages don't make families, loved ones do.
I'm frequently puzzled at the apparent lack of curiosity of the scientists that conduct these experiments (or perhaps the bias of journalists who write these articles). Surely there have to be some outliers who are able to overcome some biases that come naturally to most of us.

What is interesting is not only that _the majority of human beings act within certain patterns_, but that _some individuals are able to overcome these patters_. What makes it so? Do they have something in common? Can we learn anything from them?

I don't want to nitpick the experiments themselves, it is wonderful that science is being done and that these biases are pointed out. But they seem to paint a very dim perspective on humanity. If I recall correctly around 30% of the participants in the Milgram experiment refused the instructions to shock the actor to the maximum voltage, yet very little seems to be written about them.

The fact that you can't come to an agreement with a supplier (of anything) doesn't mean you can just rip them off. It means you pony up more cash or do without whatever it is they were selling. China is flush with dollars these day.
As you note, the redirect breaks all benefits of HTTPS. That can just be trivially stripped.

Powershell, in any case, allows for scripts to be signed. Since the script in question is semi-auto-generated in any case, they should just include that as a step in the build. But serving unsigned scripts over HTTP is just beyond the pale.
Wow, I could not agree any less in terms of appeal.
I'm in the UK which is only one part of Europe, and while "penalty clauses" are not illegal here, they are unenforceable. Liquidated damage clauses that impose reparations of a genuine pre-estimate of probable loss are fine, however. Whether $30000 is such is a matter for debate. If the software would cost $30000 for licensing on a single laptop, maybe it would be.
Not exactly, you have to turn off WiFi and Bluetooth unless when needed so that e.g. "smart bins" can't track your MAC address.
Linux packages are signed and commonly served over HTTP by various mirrors. How is this any different?
Maybe "display this resource text-only" rather than "hide this resource" would be a reasonable compromise.

Ideally, you'd want them to use HTTPS to deliver the packages as well. However, I cut free software distribution some slack, because of massive distributed mirroring and delivery by a number of third parties. For Microsoft, it would be easy: why _not_ use HTTPS and get another line of defense?

I think my biggest issue though is that for a site that is focused on programming having things like C/C++ (I think it was C/C++/C# at one time too) be grouped together as categories and other weird minor things just makes the whole site feel like its not really ran by people who are like.. actually developers.

That problem has nothing to do with linear algebra. I like it! Presumably the submatrix size is limited, or there are negative numbers. Personally I'd precompute the submatrix sums S[r,c] for row 1...r and col 1...c in r*c steps, which will then allow you to give the sum for any submatrix in constant time.

It did seem a bit odd but I think the main idea is that storing big, non-text values has traditionally been seen as hard (expensive, unreliable, prone to security hazards, etc.), not without cause given how bad most enterprise IT departments are at it. Now that it's available as a simple, highly-reliable pay-for-usage service, app designers need to reconsider that bias.
