NYPD Kicking People Out of Their Homes, Even If They Haven’t Committed a Crime
Similar, but based on git: https://github.com/wilhelmtell/dis
The thing I wonder about is less that, but the fact that if everyone near college age is being steered to "code" we'll be producing less and less actual goods to sell, and what the long term impact of that will look like.
Translation: "There are no good engineers who will work for the price I'm willing to pay, either in terms of initial dollars or time to retrain."

As the realtors I worked with used to say about houses, "there's no problem that price won't fix", and that works for labor as well as real estate.

I have personally met one of the Unabomber victims. I saw him before and after. I can't appreciate the Unabomber manifesto at all. When someone's opinions lead them to deliberately maim and kill people, I can't read their opinions without remembering their actions.

Power BI, Microsoft's answer to it is $10/mo - yes, not $50/year, but a lot closer to that than to $1,000. The vis layer doesn't need to be expensive.
Its not that the cities aren't attractive, its that VCs force their portfolio companies to move to SF/SV, mainly because of the financial interests of the VCs.

There are a lot of companies that would happily locate somewhere else if their funders would let them, and once we get done with this "market correction" it would be neat if the tech industry could get together and agree on a model that doesn't involve making life miserable in the Bay Area for everyone who isn't a software engineer.
I'm with you and I have a pet theory why this is so:

When Google was new I found it strange that when I looked up "Apache" pages about the web server appeared before pages about the Native American tribes.
I was happy because the webserver was what I was looking for, but I found it strange because this was not what most people around me would have expected.

DuckDuckGo is like the old Google, it's great for tech and science queries. It's great for masters of the old Google fu.

Google on the other hand tries to cater for a huge and diverse audience with different expectations from the search results.
Some would expect information about the web server, some about Native American tribes. When Google's user base grew improving overall search quality meant worse results for some specific user groups.
Google tries to solve this problem with personalized search.

My pet theory is that Google puts almost all effort into personalized search. Regular search is probably not so important to them anymore, because almost everyone is logged into Google or has at least a long living Google cookie.

tl;dr DuckDuckGo is the old Google, the new Google is only good with personalized search

I believe it considering 2006-2008 was when all the deep learning pieces came together (some parts were decades old, some 5 years, some 2 years). Google's main push in ML is with deep learning. Although, I would like to see the source too. Tried to find it using Google, but no luck! :)
"We know why gradient descent and back-propagation works."

I would phrase that differently: we know when gradient descent and back-propagation work, not why they work for so many real world problems.

For the when, there are zillions of published mathematical results stating "if a problem has property X, this and this method will find a solution with property Y in time T", in zillions of variations (Y can be the true optimum, a value within x% of the real optimum, the true optimum 'most of the time', etc. T can be 'eventually', 'after O(n^3) iterations', 'always', etc)

However, for most real-world problems we do not know whether they have property X, or even how to go about arguing that it is likely they have property X, other than the somewhat circular "algorithm A seems to work well for it, and we know it works for problems of type X"

Well fortunately/unfortunately the police do not camp outside of an embassy for years waiting to arrest someone and send them to another country for questioning because they may have broken a moral concept. They do that when there are laws being broken. So in this situation, all that matters is the law.

The question was "what is rape in the Swedish sense, and how is it different from rape anywhere else". The answer is, this type of sexual misconduct is considered rape in Sweden and not in many other places. Nation-states define laws, which is what the legal system is based off, so it doesn't matter what moral people recognize. It wouldn't have been legally rape in some other countries, and that's the answer to the question.
And people can rely on friends and family to get them fixed. I bet most HN readers are very familiar with the concept when it comes to computers breaking.
The legal work-around is giving the lemonade away, free...

Sitting on the counter nearby is a cup for voluntary "donations" which will go to a specified "cause"...I've seen multiple fundraisers that appear to be hacking local regulations in that way...

I'm unaware of any legal work-around regarding Health Department regulations...maybe a location with a low profile helps a bit...not necessarily a good business model...

"High availability" and "high availability with automatic failover" are not the same thing. (The tricky bit is actually the un-failing-over part.) I assure you that people were setting up high availability systems with PostgreSQL 7.x in 2004 or so.

Very few organizations need to scale their database in any other direction than vertically. If it works for Stack Overflow, it's certainly likely to work for your application.
This so true.

At BBRY for example, directors make 300k to 400k per year. That's for having a few nice lunches, shaking a few hands, and meeting with the management a couple of times per year - at the same time that the company flounders without any direction, fires hundreds of people and the stock takes a long multi-year dive into the dumpster.
Except the last time the markets dropped, real estate prices went up.

If there is a problem, the Fed will drop interest rates, maybe even go negative, and that will cause bond rates and conceivably mortgage rates to drop as well.

The Fed wants inflation, and most importantly home price inflation. They will do whatever it takes to stop deflation, they've already said this. Bernanke said he would drop bags of money out of helicopters, obviously an exaggeration, but basically this is how critical the Fed views the fight against deflation.
OK, can you name a cheap, somewhat durable, and translucent substance that's not glass?

The typical translucent substances people use in practice are various kinds of glass, plexiglass (not durable; scratches up a lot), transparent ceramics of various sorts (generally not cheap), gems like sapphire (not cheap, especially for large-scale applications). Anything I'm missing?

I'm stuck using Gnome 2 at work for the time being, and I must say I really don't dig it. I think various pieces of 'bloat' that have been added in the years have made my life better.

I find myself taking longer to find the open window I want. Instead of doing an Expose effect then clicking the window I want, I have to look through a list of windows. I find myself frequently clicking through the list in order to find the window I want. The fact the order isn't consistent doesn't help.

That's just one example I know, but after hearing Gnome 2 hold outs continually claim Gnome 2 is still better, I found it really shocking how much I don't like this experience.

Soon we will get support for Unity and I honestly can't wait.

Make sense with the seasons. Certainly helps when you've got issues like season 11 being off like it is. There's other reports of the search functionality being literal with punctuation and other things to work out. It'd be really neat with more polish and possibly adding in more tv shows. I imagine the data needs are pretty substantial, but I wonder if there might be a good way to deal with that by having the server generate the jpgs on the fly from the better compressed video files. That might really be a big win if BPG or other formats actually take off and begin replacing jpg.
LinkedIn's "shadow profiles" are absolutely horrific.

I deleted my LinkedIn account over five years ago, and hunted down every "no, really delete" option I could find on the site and in their emails. It didn't work. LinkedIn will still happily let users and recruiters find my old ghost profile and try to connect with it. I have quite a number of former co-workers who think they have a contact channel with me in LinkedIn even though it would never reach me. LinkedIn isn't just a nuisance, it's actively poisonous and dangerous.

I'll be doing all my future job hunting on StackOverflow Careers, thanks.
Loading this on a mobile browser was an adventure in viewport movement.
I assigned my F-keys to control multiple desktops (F1 - show all windows, F2 - show windows of current app, F3/F4 - switch to left/right desktop, F5 - show desktop), that made OS X much more pleasant to use for me.

OS X took some time getting used to - I'm still not sure what the green not-really-maximize button is supposed to do, but I've gotten used to it.

I don't really get what this person does with his MacBook or iPad, and what exactly makes one better than the other. I use OS X on a laptop - but it's a big ThinkPad T420 (Works surprisingly great! Got a lot of slots for storage, and can't get enough of that keyboard and TrackPoint), so it's not quite portable, so I end up carrying my Surface Pro 3 around instead - which I mostly use as a laptop, and have configured to have the same shortcuts. Maybe if there was a new version of the ThinkPad X300 with modern guts (and good OS X compatibility), I could ditch the Surface.
A guilty plea counts as a conviction.
I didn't read the article, but texts messages are a common form of computer-mediated communication (CMC). I studied this a bit during my undergrad, and one of its more interesting effects is that it does seem to be significantly easier to form strong emotional bonds when utilizing CMC rather than more traditional methods. A compelling theory as to why is that people generally tend to assume that the unknown elements of the person with whom they are communicating are likely to closely align with their own ideals until proven otherwise.
I'm inclined to agree that a home thermostat is probably not the best place to be hacking around--especially, but not only, in cold climates--although this is really a comment on DIY generally rather than open source. Heck, I'm not even inclined to trust a Nest over a more traditional thermostat.

There are plenty of opportunities to fiddle around with sensors and other "smart home" gadgetry. But there are some areas where it makes sense to be very cautious.
This is vaguely reminiscent of a SO comment I ran across recently: http://stackoverflow.com/a/27962571, which really opened my eyes to the powerful combination of variadic templates and tuples. OP's guide is very informative in breaking things down, kudos; but I also suggest checking out that SO comment as it's a more barebones exposition of variadic templates + tuples (no threading, no watching, etc).
Great suggestion! That's next on the feature list!
As a bonus, if there were more of these guys around their prices would go down a little bit.

In certain parts of American where you have a large amount of immigrants (Texas, California...) you can get a gardener or carpenter much cheaper than say, in the north where the population isn't as high or diverse.
Salaries tend to be sticky. A more likely outcome is the bottom ~25% of engineers being laid off or moved to contract status.

There is a "verbatim" mode of search that may help in these cases, which looks like it turns off a bunch of search heuristics. When you get your result, there's a "Search tools" button that reveals a dropdown that defaults to "All results". In that dropdown is a "Verbatim" option. Try that.

You can add the query parameter "tbs=li:1" to get verbatim results right away.
For me the main point about Tableau is not building dynamic dashboards, but actually working with data interactively in an intuitive fashion.

It's for when you want to figure out what the data is telling you, and not how to wrangle the data into saying something.

Well the problem is, Victoria is the only city in Canada that collects citizenship information in house sales. It's the only data we have.

Victoria isn't that far from Vancouver, but prices have gone through the roof, similar to what Vancouver has experienced.
This is a good step. I expect to see a whole slew of cloudkit dashboard services pop up soon.

And that maintenance is minimized, avoided and cheapened out on as much as possible. You know all those stories of poor people being ticketed for burned out headlights and similar car problems?

I don't know anyone in the tech industry who ever have a burned out headlight on their 2 years old leased car. Maybe it's because they can afford to have it fixed and maybe it's cause they don't own, let alone drive, a junker in the first place.

Since I get downvoted a lot, perhaps a clarification in order: My point is when 2/3 of the high paying jobs in a locale get yanked, the service industry folks that depend on people having income they can use are the first to get screwed. Coal mining is high-paying (compared to median pay, it'd be shit by SF standards...)
First it was all the immigrants. Now it's the kids stealing our jobs.
I have no idea what you're replying to, but I don't think it's anything I wrote.

I'm not arguing for or against legalization (what I think you're responding to). I'm making an observation. OP described the number of accidents caused by cannabis users to be low or uncommon. I was replying that that's likely due to the (relatively) low number of cannabis users and users on the road, and proposed that, as it becomes legal, accidents (caused by cannabis use) will become more common.

I DID NOT say it would be equivalent to drunk driving accidents.

I DID NOT say driving stoned was the same as driving drunk.

I DID NOT say cannabis should remain illegal because of this.

Go ahead and call me ignorant, but at least read and reply to my comments instead of replying to things I never wrote.
Tableau is a great product but with a high price stigma. I really like it, when clients asking for recommendation my first answer is Tableau. They like the product and the features but the reaction is always the same: nice, but it's too expensive for us, we'll go with PowerBI. Competing with Microsoft is a tough game.
Great concept. The text editor is broken for me (I place the caret, then try to type, and it only works half the time and jumps around to other spots the other half of the time without inputting any text). Also, I'd like to see results directly, à la CSS editor in Chrome devtools rather than having to run the code.

The example that the author gave about "Vitamin C" is also ridiculous. Spotify says that song has about 2.5 million streams. Even if he literally did nothing else but listen to it for 3 days straight, including not sleeping, that's only 1440 streams, or 0.06% of the total. Spotify wouldn't even notice.

Shocked, shocked I tell you.
They did. I believe they had to uninstall the previous version and delete a lot of leftover registry keys and files. Amazing how uninstalls never really uninstall the thing. Never understood the logic in that. I've seen companies (like HP and Kofax) have to make cleanup tools for their own software because the uninstalls don't actually remove everything. I wonder if they contract their installation components out to third parties that screw it up.
This. Freelancing is the future. Hiring in-house developers, or better still, freelance programmers will ensure that you will have custom-built your maximum BI tools and with a reasonable price. Of course, finding and hiring good freelancers who are not only dedicated in their craft, but also reasonably priced is a bit involved task, but certainly doable.
Exactly what I needed to know, and answers my question about Linux too. Thanks.

There's a lot of unsexy dev work out there. Not the kind of change the world startup HN is all about but the kind that made the website for your caterer or hairdresser or an "e-commerce" website for some small business.
I remember Softimage XSI, that was a beautiful system and I loved working with it back when I was playing around with some 3D stuff. They used to have great deals on pricing so it was also much more affordable than a lot of the other professional systems, but still seemed to provide a lot of the same functionality.

I was really sorry to see them go.
Neither will you in Denmark. It's the same approach.

For the bay area, I think compensation drop will be far worse. The base salary of bay area companies has never been that impressive. Even the big tech companies like Google and Facebook, base salary is not much more than other regions. The impressive compensation numbers are always because of bonus+RSU. These will probably be massively reduced or even eliminated completely if the tech downturn gets bad enough.
Agreed! It's the Model 3 that is aimed towards the economy segment which is dependent on higher gas prices.

Yes, because there is no difference between an @reply and an ordinary tweet. Not technically at least. It’s just text. But implementing a filter on your side should be trivial if that’s what you want.

Maybe I’ll implement something which makes it easy for users to specify custom filters and/or highlights.
Do professional football players teach playing football? Some, probably, but not all. We don't call those who don't teach amateurs. They're getting paid. The amateurs are the high school and (arguably) college players, along with rec club and pick-up game players.

You're noticing a common root, but not the meaning of the word in the modern day.

Decimate means to destroy 1 in 10 of something (like an opposing army). But today we use the word to mean destruction of a large percentage.

I suppose an argument can be made that modern use of amateur is more akin to what used to be novice. However, I'd have a hard time accepting that except when it's used as a slur. We talk about amateurs in many fields, but don't intend to dismiss them as unskilled or inexperienced, we're classifying them as non-professionals. In a forum like this, filled with amateur programmers, it seems, to me, that it's wrong to misuse the term in this manner when a large portion of the readers here are amateur programmers but of moderate to high skill level.
