Yeah, I always cringe when conservative politicians rant about 'traditional' marriage. Especially when the bulk of their region's history allowed for things like polygamy^1 and forcing their victim to marry them after rape^2. To be fair, their 'traditional' definition of marriage is certainty saner than parts of the historical version in the good book:

^1 "..I will take your wives [plural] while you live to see it, and will give them to your neighbor. He shall lie with your wives in broad daylight. You have done this deed in secret, but I will bring it about in the presence of all Israel, and with the sun looking down." (2 Samuel 12:11-14 NAB)

^2 "If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her." (Deuteronomy 22:28-29 NLT)

to me, R was a waste of time and I really dont understand why its so popular in academia. if you already have some programming knowledge, go with Python + Scipy instead

I don't understand your point. The semantics around type-handling are very clearly defined in the JSON spec: a number is simply a series of digits (plus decimal point, - sign, etc.). If you choose to interpret that JSON in a language with less than infinite precision, then you need to accept that some data loss can occur. That will happen if you're mushing an XML string into a number type, too.
I'll admit to never actually done it myself (due to aforesaid huge sums of money).

Nah, not at all. Neighborhoods change a real lot over a short amount of time. I grew up in a city that went from desirable (my parent's lifetime), to very undesirable (my childhood), and then back to desirable again (last decade). That's why I always laugh when people talk about their home's future value in 50 years which is basically a dice roll.
I'm aware mod_perl and CGI aren't recommended for modern projects (I spent a good few years as a Perl developer too). The reason I neglected to mention Catalyst et al was because my post was a historical piece and the frameworks you've discussed didn't exist back then.

As an aside, mod_perl's tendency to segfault was easily the single most frustrating thing about Perl development. I've lost count of the number of times I've ran strace against apache processes trying to trace whatever was causing the code to crash. Ugh, glad I don't have to do that any more.

Rstudio is R for a lot of people. I'm a computational biologist in a group. Our PI is trying to get the postdocs to learn R themselves, but it's an uphill battle. I eventually warmed up to it - primarily for the plotting.

But a few weeks back he asked me how to do some kind of data sorting / manipulation in R. My answer was that it was a 10 line Python script and I gave him the code. Alas, he couldn't figure out how to save the script and run it from a command-line.

You can't underestimate at how important Rstudio is to the popularity of R for non-programmers.

This PDF explains what I discuss below in more detail: http://moodle.technion.ac.il/pluginfile.php/315285/mod_resou.... Prediction of aliasing is discussed on slide 25.

The patent in question pertains to an optimization of what these days you'd call "memory disambiguation." In a processor executing instructions out of order, data dependencies can be known or ambiguous. A known data dependency is, for example, summing the results of two previous instructions that themselves each compute the product of two values. An ambiguous data dependency is usually a memory read after a memory write. The processor usually does not know the address of the store until it executes the store. So it can't tell whether a subsequent load must wait behind the store (if it reads from the same address), or can safely be moved ahead of it (if it reads from a different address).

If you have the appropriate machinery, you can speculatively execute that later load instruction. But you need some mechanism to ensure that if you guess wrong--that subsequent load really does read from the same address as the earlier store--you can roll back the pipeline and re execute things in the correct order.

But flushing that work and replaying is slow. If you've got a dependent store-load pair, you want to avoid the situation where misspeculation causes you to have to flush and reply every time. The insight of the patent is that these dependent store-load pairs have temporal locality. Using a small table, you can avoid most misspeculations by tracking these pairs in the table and not speculating the subsequent load if you get a table hit. That specific use of a prediction table is what is claimed by the patent.

Maybe this is worth a patent, or maybe not. For what it's worth, I don't think anybody was doing memory disambiguation at all in 1996. Intel was one of the first (maybe the first) to do so commercially in the mid-2000's. Apple's Cyclone architecture also does it, and I think it was the first in the low-power SoC space to do it.

Not really, it makes it less likely sure but far from impossible. For one, a guaranteed cashflow contract is something you can sell to lots of different parties for a discounted lump sum right away. Hell a month ago or so there was an article on HN about a iirc mentally handicapped woman who'd received a legal settlement payout because a company had been negligent in letting her live in housing which was filled with neurotoxins (in the paint iirc), and some guy called her up and swindled her out of a large portion of the money by buying her settlement contract and paying her a ridiculously low discounted value. Anyway it happens all the time, most companies sell or buy B2B with 30-60 day payments, and many companies with cashflow issues will sell those future payments for money today. It's not a loan that you pay back at some point when you get the money, rather you're selling a loan/credit (for instant cash) someone has with you who's contractually obliged to make future payments on that to you.

And secondly you can incur lots of debt, or spend money you had saved up, knowing it'll be replenished.

Either of the two or a combination could let you blow through the money in half a year, not impossible, although it's unlikely.

Same here. Take crying for example. In our society we're seen as weak if we cry. Except crying is a perfectly valid human emotional response. Sure, we naturally don't cry as often as women but I still can't understand how we got to the point where we have to deny ourselves a basic physiological response lest we be shunned by the other monkeys who also need and want to do it!

You may be interested to know --- well, I find it interesting --- that there are lesser known meanings of 'affect' and 'effect' which are the other way round. You can effect a change, where 'effect' a verb. And people can have an affect, where 'affect' is a noun largely synonymous to 'mood'.

I believe it's even possible to affect affects by effecting an affect effect, in effect. English is weird.

But this is already the case -- nobody believes the price tags put on big government projects, at least in the US.

You simply can't build something like the Bay Bridge for $250 million. And the reason public works projects are so expensive is usually because they're big, things go wrong, and there's a political element. You can't predict everything that will go wrong, and you'll never remove politics from it.

The problem isn't that huge public works projects cost a lot of money, it's that the estimation process is more about politics than reality. People building the Bay Bridge knew they could go find comparable projects and build an estimate that way -- they didn't do this because they were trying to come in at a certain price point, which means throwing a defendable methodology out the window.

I'm not saying this is the way it SHOULD be done, but it's the way things are done. And if you try to do it differently, someone else will just underbid you and raise the price later.

Interesting. I should have said "... in the United States." I know very little about taxes in other countries.
This is just a series of incredibly generic operations on an already cleaned dataset in csv format. In reality, you probably need to retrieve and clean the dataset yourself from, say, a database, and you you may well need to do something non-standard with the data, which needs an external library with good documentation. Python is better equipped in both regards. Not to mention, if you're building this into any sort of product rather than just exploring, R is a bad choice. Disclaimer, I learned R before Python, and won't go back.
Also, what the employer thinks you're worth is totally subjective.

Some companies said I'm the best front-end dev they ever had (this might even be true) and paid me much more than the other devs and some wouldn't even consider hiring me.

Maybe you didn't mean it this way, but to me your comment reads as, basically, "I tried R for an hour and didn't immediately grok it, therefore it is a waste of time."

As a result, I have some experience rewriting the underlying C code in other languages. What one finds under the hood is not often pretty. It would be interesting to see a performance comparison between Python and R.

Popular art is attractive because it's new, but after a while, most of it becomes tired. Only the best has a depth that people will appreciate many years from now, but it's impossible to judge if something will be a classic until you give it time to prove itself.

Here are the common mistakes employees make

#1 Give a "range". When you are asked what your expectations are, it should be a single finite number. The minute you give a range - say 0.8X to 1.2X, you've just settled for the lowest number i.e. 0.8X. Why would any sane employer offer more?

#2 Give a quotation before they prove value. Always quote a price when all the interviews are done. At that time you are in a position of power.

#3 Price themselves based on what the market says and not on value provided. Think in terms of how much business you are bringing in, how much money you are saving them, how much would it cost if the employer got someone really bad.

#4 Not seeing the employers view point. The employer wants to get a "good deal". He wants to have saved money in the deal. If you ask for 2X and then settle for 1.5X, both parties leave the deal feeling like they have won.
Although - now I'm going to contradict myself. Things like skyscraper heights also follow a power law distribution, and those don't grow in any meaningful sense. So I guess I don't know what that means. But if anyone else does, please enlighten me.
Ask HN: “Backoffice” to mean admin area of a website?
I have a question. Something that's bothered me for a while.

I work at a web agency work in France. We work in French but often use English words like "wireframes", "benchmark", "reporting" or "responsive".

The admin area of say a Drupal website is usually referred to as the "back office". I find this odd and claimed, admittedly based on anecdotal evidence, that this is a uniquely French usage of this term. Or at least that it's very uncommon in the anglophone world.

I realize that "back office" is common in finance but do people use it in your region to refer to the admin area of a website as well? Have I been been away from an anglophone region for so long that I've somehow missed this?

Please answer with at least a Yes/No and country.
> because they cannot get any other funding

Really? I seriously question that "because". If I had FU money I would definitely start my own lab and pay for research out of pocket. Science is fantastically fun if you don't have to care about funding (and by extension tenure) and only publish because it's nice to get feedback from your peers (rather than because you need X papers to get your next grant and keep your job).

Conversely, writing grants is a total bore.

A "because" I would be more willing to buy: if you made that kind of money for yourself, odds are you spent your prime years achieving that and therefore haven't dedicated the time to science that's necessary to be at the top of your field.

It's quite telling that FB would block links that talk about FB in a negative way. The one true test of the long term viability of any medium is whether or not that medium is managed hands-off to the point that discussing the medium itself critically does not lead to the discussion being squelched. FB it appears does not pass that test.

It would be interesting to see what other links that discuss FB can not be shared there and even more interesting at what level of FB the directive initiating this blockage originated.
