> you can get a lot bigger than 6T

Come on - most companies reasonably can't. There's a WD 10T smr/helium drive, and seagate is selling that crap 8T video drive. Unless you're talking ssd 3d/TLC density (more $), or the vapor-ware 20T drives that some storage vendors hint at and don't let me file a PO for, I literally don't know what you're referring to (now I'm getting where I can't name names)

The reason I'm complaining is because of you don't state:

- what the current state of the art is that they're not meeting

- what they could do better with their design goals given that information.

You merely state that it's just not state of the art, and to come work at dropbox. This is what I mean by being disingenuous.
That's interesting. You're looking at it from the point of view of the bettor. My concern is just that non-dominant lines of inquiry are already intensely selected against and this just institutionalizes that bias. But I see your point that the lopsided upside incentivizes contrarians. That's very interesting .. I have to think about that!

[Edited as enlightenment dawns ...]
There's a certain bias in that assertion that "human names aren't unique", especially in the John Smith example. A legal name is at least partly social construct meant to interact with a government bureaucracy. Compare the surname situation in Japan, which had most people come up with their own surnames a scant century and a half ago and consequently has a huge diversity of surnames, with China, which has been undergoing surname extinction for millenia. Ultimately this has more to do with large legal and kinship systems more than purely social identification.

Human names in an oral culture on the smaller family-and-friends scale seem like they'd be much more diverse, unique, and informal, with names that are more like nicknames than legal names. But certainly humans use them for gossip ;)

Many of the rules for the house and senate are specified, very clearly, as well.

Sorry, it isn't a "vague document" nor a "rough guideline". It is very specific on many points. Also, the idea that no one but trained professionals can read or understand if the document is being followed is not only wrong but abhorrent. Certainly, legally the judiciary is to interpret the law for implementation, I don't disagree. But again... we as voters have a right and responsibility to read the rules, to understand the rules, to ascertain if they are being followed and to vote accordingly. The ultimate power, in theory, resides with us, not with "trained professionals". This principal is of extreme importance for our system and seems to be quite often forgotten.
Don't worry man, relationships will come when you least expect them. So, best thing to do is carry on with the heavy work until you reach work success. Then relax and take on hobbies you enjoy. The relationships will come, or they won't. Worrying and forcing them isn't the best strategy to allow them to grow and flourish and fruit.
There are two stories here. One is, how do you—I'm guessing you're not a scientist—tell which studies are worth a damn. In this case, yes, reading the study is the best thing to do.

The second is, how do scientists know which studies are good? This is a harder job than for you¸ because you're only ever made aware of papers that made it through the publication gauntlet. (No, they won't publish "anything" these days, not in a journal that gets any coverage.) For scientists, the task is harder, so prediction markets might be the tool they need.

Calling a $60k job in tech in the US a "sweat shop" really trivializes the term.

Is there any indication that this has an overall limit of 95 years as per the U.S. Copyright? ("Copyright protection for works published prior to January 1, 1978, was increased by 20 years to a total of 95 years from their publication date."[0])?

This cannot be stressed enough, that the real losers here aren't people who want to remix ultra-famous copyrighted works-- it's that works that nobody cares to profit upon will remain orphaned.

If there is one protection to the Public Domain that needs to take place, it's that copyright owners should have to show a willingness to profit off their material (by paying a recurring fee) so we don't experience this deadweight loss.

I think this is a bigger part of it. There are occasionally scandals that get media attention where someone got through the immigration system when they arguably shouldn't have (past involvement with organized crime, etc.), which produces public pressure to add another check to make sure it doesn't happen again. So the system is oriented around an adversarial sort of approach: we think there's a good chance you probably shouldn't be here, and you need to go through this complex process to prove otherwise. The system is designed to find dozens of reasons to exclude the applicant (since voters demand excluding people for those reasons), so there are a ton of pitfalls. Which is where the immigration lawyers then come in, since an individual immigrant with no idea how the system is designed or what it's looking for has a high likelihood of stumbling into one of those pitfalls.
I can't help to ask why? My guess is that the bulkyness of the device is gotta have a lot of bad effects on their muscles and skeleton.

Over the past 3 years I've assembled a 21U eurorack modular (in addition to my otherwise relatively large synth collection) and it's been the best thing ever.

Freedom from traditional keyboards (I generally use a Makenoise Rene + Pressure Points, although occasionally will use a Moog Voyager as a controller) has really opened things up for me.

I know that I'll never get the same sound again, and everything feels very fresh and creative. While I don't think I ever made a 'original' sound on guitar, I think that many days I am hearing things that might actually be new, or at least relatively unexplored.

Its also overall slowed down my wants to buy additional synths, effects pedal, etc since I have nearly every possibility in this. The only significant purchase I've done in about a year aside from more modules has been an Eventide H3000.

Plus, it looks badass. I've even performed with it live a few times. I've wanted one since circa 2002, but only recently could afford it. Totally worth it.

Surprised at the layout of the drives. Would make it a huge pain to actually replace failing disks - but I like that they put a decent Xeon on there.

The connectivity to the drives is really quite bad, but now I'm just being picky. Thank you for the link, really appreciate the follow up!

The spin of the article is that smaller companies are more deserving, but I don't see why we should expect that in general. If Apple or FB bring in a thousand people on H1Bs, is that a problem?
I've used Go for a couple years but am only just writing my first production system in Go. I think one of the major complaints is that it's use-cases are ambiguous to beginners. Go, IMO, is a systems language and should not be the first thing you pull out when someone says "write a web app".

I think Go has a very limited use case, but it is incredibly good for that use case. If I had to define it right now it would be along the lines of "Highly concurrent micro-services (re: small code bases) that requires decent performance (memory + speed) in a somewhat distributed fashion". Obviously it's not perfect but it's the feeling I've developed recently.
That was the pun, yes, but my comment was about a real issue.
You won't succeed at making a "pull request" in 2035 against a piece of code written in 2015.

The person who wrote the code has another job now. The programming language it's written in is unsupported and unsafe to run. The site it's hosted on was sold to a holding company and then taken down. The entire concept of a "pull request" has been replaced by some new idea that's as foreign to us as a pull request would be to developers in 1995.
Burnout is a problem with open source like any other software development modality or career in general. If it is burnout, then the money probably won't make as much difference as might be hoped. Depending on the donors, it may make things worse if donating the money gives them a sense of entitlement to make demands in regard to features or overall direction.

To put it another way, if you're ready to move on, it's probably best to move on.

Gonna look more into how they lay the disks out. I wonder what the serviceability of the drives is.
No. Because bugs.

If you can write to arbitrary kernel memory you can do anything you like. Disable selinux; write funny messages to the console - it's all yours for the taking.
I can understand your use case, but the need for case insensitive slugs is one I've never had (or wanted). Then again, I tend to use simple lowercase slugs, preferably single word, and hyphenated for multiword. For that project I might use /image-colors.

I'm not sure about that. I don't tend to use an IDE, but the Go plugins for Sublime seem to do a pretty good job of identifying unidiomatic code and errors even before saving, which is certainly a benefit. Gofmt is fabulous.

The slog seems to be in the frequent feeling of 'why do I have to do this – surely the computer should be doing it for me?'. This is mostly around things like list comprehension, where it feels like using stone-age tools. It sucks, because the development story around e.g. goroutines and channels is so elegant in comparison.
Very true. There's another one floating around somewhere about how good we are at estimating the IQ of other people. Pretty interesting.
Why I Tell My Team to Leave at 5:00
Was thinking Douglas Adams myself.
Not easily. The big problem - the one that has never been solved - is that software needs a programmable interface with fixed hardware controllers/knobs/sliders, but dynamic labelling. You can certainly imagine using modern controller and display technology to build such a thing - studio mixers have had similar features for years - but the price is always going to be prohibitive.

And there's no standard display API for softsynths. (NI have tried to produce one called NKS, but it's early days.)

And softsynths can have hundreds of parameters. Showing them all at once is always going to be a challenge. So most controller products either show nothing at all, or show a handle of items - like eight or so. Which are different for every synth.

If a softsynth supports OSC you can fake the tactility on an iPad, but the small size is a problem; I expect the Pro will be better, but still limited.

Music certainly works better when it's tactile, but - as someone who used to design and build modular hardware, occasionally for cash - I now find modulars rather ridiculous, and certainly just as limiting in their own ways as any other technology.

They make great toys, but IMO the spirit of modulars - build completely new things to make new music - is a lot more alive in software than hardware now.
When you have another 60 HDDs in the same case, I guess you think about reliability differently.

I don't think it would immediately kill it. If Google abandoned Go then given it has only a few unique features it would likely fall in amongst the hundred other second-tier languages that are around today.

It is pretty inarguable that a large part of Go's success has been it's affiliation with Google.

It's the classic problem in a democracy, that a minority with a vested interest (here, the rent-collectors on copyrighted material) are far more likely to effect what they want than a majority who, by and large, doesn't care that much.

I think the key here is simplifying things-- the public domain isn't going to afford the lobbying power as the rent-collectors, but we can at least try to simplify the message, that rent-collecting is harmful.
I'm surprised there haven't been more requirements on AirBnB's part to do due diligence with the rental properties - e.g. user has to upload a copy of their lease to prove they have the right to rent it out.

The economics don't make sense by just simply pouring more money into the problem. If they need to hire an additional employee to support that $60k ARR they'll be heading into the red in terms of net profits.

They also probably figured that's true given they already raised $500k so they actually do have additional capital at their disposal. They're not bootstrapped anymore. Smart move to pull the plug and rethink things.
That's as it should be, though. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and studies should be regarded more skeptically the more surprising their results are.
Additional 1k accounts crashed production servers? I think fixing the software stack is much more important than business strategical adjustment.

> The research article you linked confirmed that job experience (years in a similar job) has positive predictive validity for job performance.

Job performance does improve with experience up to a point (evidently six months), so this factor will have some predictive validity just for that, but this does not support comparing five years vs ten years.

> Can a hiring manager improve their hiring decision by excluding a factor known to have positive predictive validity?

Yes, if the manager had given undue weight to that factor (say, by rejecting applicants with little experience, regardless of performance on job knowledge tests), which is precisely what happens whenever managers consider employment history.

> This roughly matches how a lot of hiring is done in practice

No, what happens in practice is that managers say "no unemployed need apply" or ask for the applicant's "most recent résumé" (with dates, of course) and then exercise the sort of prejudice against the unemployed that you displayed earlier.

> What concrete change should a manager of a small business make tomorrow to improve their hiring?

The manager should filter applicants using GMA tests, job knowledge tests and integrity tests, which are inexpensive and have high validity, and then pay the candidates to take work-sample tests. The manager may consider experience (up to six months), but as no more than 5% of each candidate's grade, and this should be monitored by the business owner.

I've had this message several times, but "What the heck are you talking about" doesn't break any rule whatsoever that I can find. In fact I fail to see how it could be toned down anymore. Are we not permitted to express confusion? Is 'heck' not the lightened American friendly version of 'hell'?

Exciting to see this! I haven't taken a look at TensorFlow code yet but it looks very similar (method names and all) to Caffe. I've wanted a CNN library for Rust for a while.

It sounds like performance is important to you. Are there any plans to add GPU paths soon? If it's CUDA, are you going to use cuDNN?
IIRC Clang on Windows also announced a similar thing (supporting only Win 7+) maybe they plan on building it with Clang on all platforms and it's a result of that.
I own a 21U eurorack, plus a dozen other analog (and a few digital) synths.

I've done stuff in CSound and Max/MSP (only touched SC and PD a little), but what I most enjoy about hardware isn't the sound or capabilities but that it frees me from my computer. I'm a software developer and all day I'm stuck at this infernal machine. Having a eurorack that requires none of that is a nice thing at the end of the day. I've thought of getting an 8-track 1" or 2" just so I can completely escape from the computer.

The feel is completely different to turn knobs vs writing code. Yes, I know midi controllers... but that really isn't the same and not so immediate.
This is very worth reading – it does offer some insight into the design process. In practice, there's still a lot of boilerplate error handling, but treating errors as values does help.

I think you have the whole process upside down. Digital media already has no value, and it can already be copied freely.

The changes in the law that Disney and other copyright maximalists are doing is attempting to re-value digital media. So, the only option open to them is to push for ever more draconian laws simply to protect their broken and outdated business models.
Correct, which is what the parent was asking about. :)
