The problem is that you make something cool in Tableau and then want to collaborate with someone... and even if you talk them into it, soon their trial runs out. Yes, it's powerful and featured, but today's scene is about collaboration and sharing... and the sticker shock is just too much for that.

Cool, what's new in this release?
"Spotify's fraud detection system is a very good thing for artists."

It isn't if anybody can remove an artist's songs just by click fraud/too much listening.
If they can detect the fraudulent plays then they should just not pay for those but should not remove the song.
Yup! Tableau isn't just about the end visualization. It is about the exploration of your data and the analytics that go behind the final visual. That is where the power of Tableau lies.
I think writing an abstraction that allows you to decouple your app in a way that you could use either Angular or React is going to take far longer than just rewriting your app if you ever get to the point of needing to switch.

RIP Twitter is trending
I worked developing a Revit plugin for one of the biggest furniture manufacturers in the US for the past six months and despite the fact that Revit has a really good UX for people who is used to it, the development side is not as good feeling like they have been bringing the same stuff forward for the last ten years which turns their API into a bloated unfriendly piece of software.

Now we are starting to develop a replacement using Configura which is a swedish company working on the same space for the last 20 years or so and although they have a proprietary language and no documentation at all, still makes for a much better developer experience and game changing UX where users can design, render photos and produce movies of their project from within the tool. It's a whole different world.

However, both tools are, in my opinion, stuck in the past since I expect to see some competitor coming up in the next few years bringing the same experience in a web environment.
Type safe, memory safe.
I would argue that you need to evolve with the software. Google search isn't the same anymore. Intellectual Darwinism, Evolve or become irrelevant. You can't search the way you used to or you'll get crappy results. If you don't want to be limited by your Google search bubble then search in anon mode.
Using "gcc -Os -m32 -c sqlite3.c; size sqlite3.o" I get 443,264 bytes using the latest SQLite source on Ubuntu.

The "size" command gives a more accurate measurement of what actually ends up in a compiled and stripped binary. "ls -l" includes symbolic and linking info that gets stripped from the finished binary.
It seems like your first and second paragraphs express opposite opinions. In the former you seem dismayed by the over-application/overhyping of the term "AI"; in the latter you seem frustrated by the high and ever-increasing bar for categorizing systems as "AI". Am I misinterpreting you?
The problem is underspecified because it does not define under which renderer the text should be measured. Kerning could reorder some of the close ties.
I wonder if your face would look different enough in the 3D map while under duress to stop it from authenticating. Or what about if you're unconscious? It sounds like it would be real easy to break this security with a $5 wrench.
Introduction to Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Imaging
No way this is licensed (no copyright notice, even; not even a mention of Fox), and no way it is fair use. It has frame-by-frame, full resolution images and full transcripts of every episode up for browsing. This is textbook mass copyright infringement. Short of offering unlicensed video downloads for a fee, it could hardly be more clear-cut.

Yeah, it's cool, I get it, but you can't just steal and redistribute content en masse for your cool project. Well, he did, but I expect he'll be hearing from Fox's lawyers soon.
Good, using Ubuntu as a base for official images always seemed dumb.
Yeah - all of which mean that I have to move away from Linode.
They can't backup anything other than a vanilla ext4 volume. I setup a direct lvm docker vm on Linode (was surprisingly easy) - but Linode is refusing to back it up.

Oh well, should have done this long ago.
Actually, I use Keybase without having them store my private keys.
The term "full-stack" has related problems. Most people, regardless of where they center their expertise, have some idea of a layer of the stack beyond which is Somebody Else's Problem.
But isn't the same true for a statically typed language with sufficiently powerful macros? I don't know if Rust falls into that category, having never used it, but I don't think it makes a difference whether the metaprogramming happens during compile time or runtime.
Babel doesn't solve the problem of having a minimal standard library. Unlike say Python or Ruby, where batteries are included, JS is roll it yourself, add a dependency, or go without in almost every case. Even for seemingly trivial things like "Array#contains"
Are there other examples of poor UX? Overeager pattern matching alone wouldn't bother me, but if it's a sign of other inattentiveness...
That's valid, but ORMs have been pretty standard for years now too. Most mature languages have either ORMs or some database abstraction libraries, so it's good to see Rust getting those now.
The additional 18k people that Amazon apparently plans to hire will probably keep the Seattle market hot for the foreseeable future. Also, Chinese investors.
If I look at the Glassdoor salaries for places I've worked the numbers (total comp especially, but also base salary) are sometimes quite low.

They get less accurate the higher up you go (where you also have less data points), I think mainly it's a combination of sparse data + older data points being way out of whack with recent increases due to the competitive market.

I've personally seen numbers at several places that some people on HN vehemently tell me I shouldn't believe... and sometimes, even Glassdoor seems to give numbers that a lot of commenters here don't always seem to believe (like that $268k number).
I don't get all the hate. Reading the comments here yesterday and then today again, made me really question what's going on in this community.

They (InfluxDB) made huge progress, they work hard on an open source DB (and ecosystem) and people insult them and question Paul Dix's >30 minute response time to your support questions in a HN thread.
"You have no control over what queries it writes"

Huh? Just write a view or a stored procedure and point Tableau at that. There's no need to compose a query in the Tableau interface.

This is why I said generalised Moore's law, not Moore's law. We are pretty much at the limit of current designs, but there is still plenty of room for parallelising computation.

I do agree we are going to need something new to get to human level.
Explain (consisely).
20 bits would do it.
>The S is for "stochastic" -- i.e. you get a different 2D projection every time you run it on the same inputs.

That's not the part that's "stochastic"; sensitivity to initial conditions is just nonconvex optimization in action. You get the same thing with most other local embeddings.

The stochastic bit is that the model is based on optimizing "the asymmetric probability, pij , that i would pick j as its neighbor"[0]. Those probabilities and the associated positions in 2D space are not estimated stochastically (e.g. with Monte Carlo sampling) or anything, though.

Because all you're really doing is increasing your attack surface and wasting storage space. If you have a need for a specific piece of software, you should be able to identify that and include that in your docker image. Starting with a kitchen sink is only good when you're too lazy to spend an hour to understand what your software depends on.
Seriously, this is good advice, if you're in the above average skill set range in an area that is in demand, such as senior sys admin/ senior programmer, and various other combos. Then you can name your price, the trick is finding a company that can afford you and isn't a total shit place to work for.

I took a decent cut in pay just to be able to work for a company I actually really like. And while I can't afford to buy a new computer nearly as often I do get to work with really fun people and on projects that I really care about.
Silicon Valley's Biggest Opportunity? Better Marketing
By investing in the entire market continuously, and squeezing every spare penny to invest even more when there's blood on the streets.

You don't have to time anything right or pick any winners with this strategy, because you'll invest all the way down and all the way back up. You might not have made money from Jan 1 2008 through Dec 31 2008, but that money would have made a killing subsequently.

Of course if you were out of work in 2008 that is easier said than done.

OTOH If you try to make a killing by shorting, there's an infinite number of ways to end up broke by getting the timing wrong. If you bet everything on picking bottom, you can miss the boat or miss the bottom. Not nearly as risky as shorting, but certainly not as reliable as staying the course.
>Anyone else wanna share?

Yes please do (everyone). The reason is to drive wages up. Hiding this knowledge doesn't protect YOU, it raises the bar for your next job. They're going to outsource and insource you anyway so that's nothing to fear.

Looking for an entry level Django gig and have always wondered what it should be (of course market matters). Generally stated, finding -any- developer under 85K is a bargain IMO and you pretty much confirmed that. I know many make less than 85 (like me), but I've had it with being taken advantage of as well. Only have so many healthy years to provide, next job is going to be the right deal to take care of my family.
Sorry, hiddencost is correct here.

While we understand the math of backpropegation, we don't really understand why it lets neural networks converge as well as they do. If you asked a mathematician they'd point out that yes, backpropegation can work, but there are no guarantees even around the probability that it will work. And yet, it does work, and often enough and in enough different cases for it to be useful.

Yes, interpretability can be an issue, but that's not what is being discussed here.

There have been some attempts at making models which humans can interpret. One program named Eureqa fit the simplest possible mathematical expression possible to a set of samples. A biologist tried it on his data and found that it created an expression which actually fit the data really well. But he couldn't publish it because he couldn't explain why it worked. It just did. But there was no understanding, no explanation.

This is a pretty well understood issue in the ML community. Different tools have different strengths: Regression (sometimes), Tree based classifiers and Bayesian nets are nice for explaining your data, but others methods (SVMs, Neural Networks etc) can be better for prediction in some circumstances.
I'm 32 and I've been setting my price for the past 4 years. I also didn't get out much for 6 years :D but it was worth it.
What worries me about Alpine is that it invents YET-ANOTHER package manager(apk) . I think it claims that it builds on top of Gentoo... But could someone explain why Deb or rpm could not be used.

Does using Deb or rpm screw up size or security in some way. We could also have gotten access to the Debian/Fedora repository in a pinch. Not all of us run statically compiled go executables and often have tons of dependencies that need to be installed for webapp.

P.S. And the package manager apk is unfortunately named to conflict with IMHO the biggest package repo in the world:Android. It is virtually impossible to Google anything meaningful without running into android.
If you're using emacs you can use org-mode for note taking. Plus, there are lots of benefits wherein you can organize everything just in plain text.

An AngularJS Filter for Converting 'camelCaseStrings' to 'Camel Case Strings'
I posted this link to ask if there are any startups or academics doing innovative work with the data currently collected from PET scanners.

The imaging I see, and that my oncologist sees as interpreted by a radiologist, shows a 3d spinning liver (and associated organs) where the tumors light up brightly. Their relative brightness is read by the radiologist to determine their size.

What I'm wondering is if the data that was captured can be re-interpreted to provide more accurate tumor location automatically.

The linked article gives a good (IMHO) layman's explanation of the system - but I don't understand if the final result is the image, or if somewhere in the DICOM files there exists a machine readable data set, perhaps an XYZ scatterplot with the gamma ray pairs represented such that you could in effect do ray tracing to precisely place tumors and their exact size relative to features of the relevant organ. (eg, portal vein in the liver)

Last year, this came out:

http://makezine.com/2015/01/14/hands-on-health-care/

Its relevancy to my case is that I while I have metastasis to both lobes, one mass in particular seems to be straddling between the two, making resection unlikely.

I'm wondering if having this information would make a surgeon's job easier? Or if they even care? Is it pointless to pursue this because obviously smarter people will have already thought about this?

It was a joke mostly because Bitcoin is legitimately innovative and Linkedin is yet-another-social-media-platform-except-for-Serious-Business. No one gripes about investing in stocks even though they (they being one of the biggest companies) can obviously tank 50% in one year. However, every post even remotely related to cryptocurrency will have, guaranteed, a comment or 10 about how "No one will ever invest in this because it is too volatile." It's just an observation of mine.
That one doesn't make sense to me unless all US reporters must also notify all locals that the US is planning a surprise attack. What gives them the impression that her duty is to preserve the life of one man (of an invading force, no less), but not another?

Well, casting doubt on knowledge assumed to be true, which may lead to overturning, but is still provisional when you're at the point where you have one published experiment claiming a result, and one published failure to replicate that result. Even correct results are not always successfully replicated on the first replication attempt, including in "hard" areas like physics/chemistry. Lots of possible reasons. One frequent case is that the original results were, even if broadly correct, underspecified, i.e. there was some key component of the original experimental apparatus or method that wasn't sufficiently described in the paper, either due to an oversight or because the original authors didn't know it actually mattered to the outcome. Sometimes figuring out what that was makes it possible to replicate the result, although other times it turns out to undermine the original results (e.g. the entire result turns out to be due to some specific impurity in a specific supplier's equipment). But in any case still very useful.
>custom-built your maximum BI tools and with a reasonable price
Have you ever really seen that happen? Not me.
It doesn't matter to me who asks first, just the the discussion is had to avoid wasting time if it's likely to be a problem. Sometimes they ask about salary range, sometimes I ask about salary requirements.

Debating whether a disconnect on $$ is a "fit" issue seems kind of silly. If it's not a job they would take because of pay, it's not a good fit for them.
Oh I know what compose means. Having written a ton of stored procedures for large scale web applications I've never found the need to dynamically build such queries. Instead I focus on what I need a specific query to do, provide the options to a stored procedure or function (depending on the RDMS) and that's it. Much like unix with simple programs that do very niche things I look at procedures much the same way.

Don't get me wrong I see the simplicity in it from the ORM side I've just never had a good experience with ORM tools. Having worked directly against many RDMS and key value stores at least for me I don't see much value in them.

But anything that helps get a product out the door more power to ya, in my opinion.

THE Unix ACRONYM LIST
To me it depends a lot on the job though, which is not always clear up front, so I usually like to find out a little more about what they have in mind. My real "minimum salary" is a really huge range, roughly anywhere from $70k to $130k depending on what kind of job it is. I do AI research, which can be more or less applied, and more or less "researchy". Is there very interesting work, good vacation policy, freedom to pursue research, and company support for me publishing code & papers? I'll take quite a bit less money for that kind of job. Less interesting work, less freedom, little time off, and a no-publishing policy? Well, then I'll want a much higher salary.
Advertisement is relevant. http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=KO produces nothing of intrinsic value, yet it is valued at $185B. Why? Because they've built and maintained a very valuable brand, via advertisement. The day CocaCola is headed for bankruptcy is the day I start worrying about Google and Facebook.
See Sandi Metz' recent piece, The Wrong Abstraction [1]. I prefer a SQL template approach such as Yesql [2]. The trouble with an ORM like ActiveRecord is a lack of control of when and how the query is performed.

I think you might be right. I remember about 10 years ago having a discussion with a coworker. He was bemoaning the fact that Microsoft was so far entrenched that nobody would ever be able to challenge them. Back then Microsoft looked like Google does today. Nobody stays on top forever.
No, he did and has not. He does charity as a public benefactor through his foundation.

>>Eurocom says the machine has a battery, which is a bit of a disappointment because it had previously labelled the portable power source an “uninterruptible power supply”.

> The difference being?

Once I'd taken in the specs I noticed where the corner they shoved the tiny battery, and laughed.

It probably manages 45 minutes on a full charge. Maybe a bit over an hour. I'd be very surprised if it managed any more than that. Mobile chipsets are designed to be aggressively obsessive with power consumption, whereas it appears this behemoth crams a full socketed i7 that most definitely does not have any such power-saving tendencies.

> Is there a point in using RAID 1 on solid state drives inside a single machine? There's no mechanical failure to worry about and I wouldn't trust it to prevent any other kind of simultaneous failure.

I'm honestly not sure. If anything it probably wrecks the wear leveling in the chips. It's probably a marketing move to make it feel like a "fast" laptop - I would hope most smart users would probably nuke the RAID and use Storage Spaces, ZFS or LVM instead.
It's the nature of the drug, not availability, that causes these problems. Caffeine is even more widely available, yet doesn't have the negative effects.
Ahem.

I know a thing about tech, lawyers, and banking. You're talking about misconceptions about tech while feeding misconceptions about law and banking.

In reality, most people in all three industries don't make $200K salaries. A big chunk (but by no means all) of Bay-area FANG engineers, New York bankers and Biglaw lawyers get this type of remuneration. Should be said too that most (not all) of these are pulling off insane, crazy-making hours as well.

If you think lawyers are rolling in it you have not been paying attention to what's happened to the profession over the past decade. Simply anachronistic. If you're going to generalize, it's a much better time to be an engineer than a lawyer in 2016.

All three of these professions have massive disparities in remuneration.

Ubuntu is great because people already understand it and probably already know how to install their apps on it which makes moving to Docker easy. Most businesses unsurprisingly don't like the idea of running on a OS they never heard of with tooling their engineers don't have experience with, limited community or enterprise support, or even internal repos.

Alpine may be the 'technically correct' choice but Ubuntu is easily a much better business choice.
