When I was working a blue-collar, industrial job, I would be happy to work 10 or 12 hour days. Usually the schedule was 4 10s, with the Mondays and Fridays rotating to give a four-day weekend every other week. Of course, longer days meant overtime pay, too, if it added up to more than 40 hours in the week. I was also commuting about two hours a day, so shorter days didn't really give me any extra free time (downside of government holidays was that they only paid 8 hours, so you'd end up still working 4 days, just for 8 hours each instead of 10).

Working as a programmer now, I find that I mostly can put in about 4 hours of real work in a day, before my brain is mush. Although there are other blessed days when I get in the groove and have plenty of work to do with no interruptions, and I might work steady for 12 or 15 hours straight. It takes something of a miracle for this to occur, though, since two or more 30 minute meetings, or having to bounce around a couple different projects doing email support can wreck any attempt at getting into a flow for the day.

Physical labor might be strenuous, but I generally find it to be less exhausting than mental labor.

"Even a successful company needs good engineers. They don't fire people just because they're "not loyal"."

Successful companies can still have a few crappy managers in them.
If the engineer doesn't want to play the negotiating game, they won't ever ask for a raise they'll just up and leave when somebody else in their network offers them 50k increase salary. Should proactively compensate them instead of swindling and expecting them to haggle.
Dunno that anyone is going to get an NLP library confused with an OSX frontend to Jupyter... there's not a lot of overlap. :-)

No, WHOIS data is of such low quality that it's useless. SSL cert data is of better quality, for OV (Organization Validated) and EV (Extended validation) certs. Contact addresses found in text on the web site are also useful. Those we match to commercial business directory information.
Or to be more charitable they wanted a name that conveyed the one thing they were doing and didn't want to prematurely optimize for something they couldn't be 100% certain they'd execute on or what timeline they could accomplish it in.

I think HN needs another "be nice" post from management.
Oh nice! Last time I checked I thought you only supported a dozen or so states, but that may have been quite some time ago.
I don't care what they "can do". It's fucking creepy and I'll never accept it.

A site can just as easily say "show me ads for <page specific tags> as hard-coded "recipes", and knowing where I shop just goes into the creepy factor even more.

can someone give me some real world business need where I can apply RNN and this type of knowledge? Obviously not looking for a hand out but open to exploring problems in the enterprise or any other potential problems worth solving which has a market.

I find that having a goal of what I want to solve or create motivates me to learn. Whereas if I'm studying Statistics but don't have a clear goal that motivates me (calculating sports betting odds) then it's that much harder to master and appreciate it's applications.

I guess to me, knowing the application of something before I dive both feet into learning it is actually the most important truth for beginners.

As a kid, did you want to make video games and then ended up learning programming but ultimately not making video games? No 8 year old thinks I'm going to implement lxml in javascript one day they just think of something they like or curious about (ex. video games).
I was curious if such a thing existed, thanks.
> Also like most people that I've spoken to, we're not interested in gitlab-ci at all

Consider me part of the crowd that is very interested. Travis is atrociously bad. Jenkins I've heard some good things about but I have mostly negative experiences with it. Alternatives are needed. And something like gitlab would sorely lack if it didn't have CI integration.

Given how IPython Notebook has been adopted, bundling is basically the only option. Its popularity is highest in the scientific-Python world, which has been Windows-focused because of the availability and ease-of-use of pre-built single-download stacks of Python plus all the relevant libraries (numpy, scipy, etc.).

Giving those folks the ability to use Macs too is a huge deal (and "just install things yourself" isn't really an option -- it's gotten better, but numpy and scipy have historically been the very devil to manually install on any platform other than Windows).

Don't you cache music offline in Spotify or Apple Music? Streaming over cellular is pretty intense data usage and it seems like most of us don't have unlimited plans anymore, at least not without throttling.

I have a 32 GB which hovers around 1-2 GB available with me using 25 GB (assuming the size difference is OS and built-in apps). Around this point is when I start to notice apps getting killed from memory more aggressively and slightly more sluggish performance switching apps, etc.
"Never ever use another offer as leverage, both the employer and the employee need to come to the table with good intentions."

More often than not, employers won't give raises unless you do.

"If an employee used another offer as leverage with me, I would probably 1) not give him a raise, 2) give him notice."

Then you're a terrible manager who likely will drive out all of their talent.
It's certainly true that real websites use many different hostnames, but keep in mind that one of the reasons why (apart from ad networks and such) is to help pages load faster over HTTP/1.1. If that factor were removed, it'd remove the need to put together a fleet of static content servers with numbered hostnames.

This book is the final product (and (not) master's thesis) of Alexis Beingessner (Gankro)'s internship at Mozilla this summer. He's gone a long way towards helping to define the guarantees that `unsafe` code must uphold and thereby auditing the soundness of the various `unsafe` bits in the stdlib.

2) My understanding is that my bank shifts liability to me for 3D Secure transactions. Why would I want extra liability?

It does seem odd, that the only thing people can change the color of is the top bar (and not even the text color with the top bar) and that this is somehow worth being a karma perk. Just being able to set a default text size would solve readability issues for a lot of people.

Windows XP is still used widely in the wild. It's still not considered a first-class platform (we don't gate breaking changes on it), various bits of the stdlib are unavailable, and the compiler itself will never function on XP, but getting rudimentary support for cross-compiling code to XP is not an undue burden on the development team.
Not much choice here (Poland). You can use payment gateway (say PayPal) but no luck with VAT and ridiculous VATMOSS regulations like being required to keep 2 pieces of evidence of customer location (say address and IP) which for example PayPal doesn't give you access to (you only go the address).

I think advocating Dale Carnegie is a sign that "the lights are on but nobody is home".

There is a lot of stuff in Carnegie that makes sense, but I have seen people advocate Dale Carnegie and get "upvoted" (or the equivalent) but I think the people who would benefit from Dale Carnegie aren't in a position to really benefit from it.

If you take the Pell Grant share as a rough indication of proportion of students that might get drop out or stretch out their study over longer times due to financial straits, Vassar has a 22% share vs 40% for UC Irvine this year.

Also Vassar shows an endowment per student of 32x the top public university. So 4 year 75% grad rate is great, but note that the achievement is in the context of a smaller proportion of pressured students and access to much higher resources.

And yet it's bewilderingly common to use it as a low-pass filter.

The reason I like the suggestion is that it asks the candidate to show you how something works which seems like it would demonstrate their ability to understand a topic, how they approach it, and importantly whether they can communicate what they know in a way that other people can understand.

I'm more interested in whether a candidate can write a decent bug report and form a coherent patch than how many puzzle solutions they've memorized to slip through my filters.

I see HN's ongoing War On Linkbait has resulted in the title of this being changed from the one presented on the article itself, "Why the Best War Reporter in a Generation Had to Suddenly Stop." Which feels a little insulting to the reporter in question, the New York Times' C.J. Chivers, since it results in him getting demoted to just "a war reporter."

But the edit also manages to make the article sound much less interesting than it actually is! So mission accomplished, I guess?

"More often than not, employers won't give raises unless you do"

That might be true, but you still should not use another offer as leverage during negotiations, that's bad either way.

"Then you're a terrible manager who likely will drive out all of their talent."

Well, thanks, I really appreciate HN compliments and that one is definitely one of the best :)

I can't think of a single case when using another offer as leverage and saying "if I don't get X, I am leaving" is good, not a single one.

I do however think that no matter how much you are asking, if you are respectful and you are worth it to the company, you will get it.

I'm sorry to hear you're workflow crushing bugs on updates. We'll certainly use the money to hire more developers and service engineers https://about.gitlab.com/jobs/

Although GitLab moves very fast and there always are regressions I thought we are getting much better at releasing patches for all regressions. I'm sorry to hear your experience is different.

How large is your repo? Code search shells out to git and that should be very performant. Are the repositories stored the same server as the application runs on?

Syntax highlighting switched from pygments to rouge, ensuring we don't have to ship Python anymore.

I didn't hear about the problem of assigning the MR, can you link to an issue for that?

We want GitLab to work flawlessly when you upgrade. And at the end of each monthly release cycle the patched version should not contain any known problems. We're working hard in the regression issues to make it so https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/1990 and https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/2297

We think that the CI configuration should be stored in the repository and that Travis and GitLab CI are the future instead of Jenkins and Bamboo.

We understand that not everyone will use GitLab CI (most enterprises are using Jenkins) but already have many organizations (including some very large ones) using GitLab CI in production. GitLab CI will undergo massive improvements after integrating it into GitLab itself in 8.0 so you might want to stick with Jenkins if you don't want to be surprised. But we recommend anyone to give GitLab CI as spin while we keep adding features. You'll be happy to know that GitLab 8.1 will ship with a commit status API that makes integrations with third party CI tools easier.
These people also pay taxes. Sure there probably still added tax burden but it isn't so black and white. It does a few things:

1) More jobs = more spending = more taxes in indirect ways (businesses)
2) Less stress on other public programs, such as welfare (if these people aren't employed, who is paying for their xyz?)
Interestingly, a lot of emerging languages are seeing huge interest from China, though we often don't realize it over in the West. Go is another example of a language with an enormous Chinese backing.

>the name of a programming idea after all

And Apple's a fruit. I don't really see how applying "YCombinator" to a startup accelerator is generic – did anyone else ever mention the phrase in that context before pg?

(Also, the guy who's bizarrely anti-YC runs a site called YC Universe? All sorts of confusing.)
Well written and harrowing. Can't blame him for quitting.
Either this was an invalid ruling or I don't understand trademark law.^0 A trademark is generic "when it no longer identifies a particular manufacturer or source of a product."^1 No one's using "Y Combinator" to refer, for example, to 500 Startups.

The other thing that pops up is that the company is reusing an existing term. This obviously can't be just "a word or phrase that already exists"; "Apple" is trademarked.^2 "Y combinator" the CS concept is certainly in the computing realm, but it's very different from a company. Is "technology and computing" one category that you can't reuse terms? Could you not, for example, make a rope company named "Overhand", because that's a type of knot?

Or would you have to call your company "Overhand Ropes"? I admit to being puzzled.

No problem, hopefully it helps.

I think from an individual perspective, sales will be tough unless you can address the issue with website not being informative enough. Is it a game or is it just a graphical interface to Wikipedia? The way it is positioned on the site I have no idea, so buying would not be an option for me.

Selling to libraries, again is going to be tough, especially with budget constraints. I am much older than today's generation, but I can tell you this much, unless that tablet played a game that I could play with my friends, the chances of me running to the library just to browse around on it would have been slim. I also think you may run into some of the same issues as with the individual consumer in that it is not clear to me what it does.

Don't discount the power of a website to any market. Even if you are having 1-1 conversations, you still want them to leave the meeting and have a chance to go look at something just as informative, or even more informative. It is human nature to not always be paying 100% attention in meetings, so if they get sidetracked for even a second you want a place they can go and see the app. Maybe even have a demo of the app itself on the site.

My advice, instead of searching around for a sponsor for a tablet, stand, art supplies, I would find a couple history teachers at schools that utilize tablets. Give the teachers the app and get them to install it with their students. Sell them on this being a pilot program and you are looking for feedback. Teachers are going to be your best advocate. If the app is great, they are going to tell other teachers, which is hopefully going to turn into $$$ for you.

Yes. The main organizer, Jonathan Haidt, is a well-regard sociologist. He's been crusading for more political diversity in science for... years? A decade? He has, of course, been doing very impressive science as well; check out his book, “The Righteous Mind”, if you're interested in understanding how people talk about morality, for example. Like it or not, climatologists sceptical of climate change should get their voices heard, just like Levin should be allowed to doubt the possibility of quantum computers, AI researchers should be allowed to doubt the possibility of general AI, and so on. They must, of course, conduct their science to the standards of their field, but the fact that they can argue for ideas not widely held in their field makes that field stronger, not weaker. Science isn't a battle for consensus, or even a battle for getting the largest agreement on a truth; it is a battle for the truth itself, any discussion and conversation, within a process that enforces good faith and good epistemology, only helps.
