The way I would view it would be to outsource it until you can afford to hire someone to work on that full time. Search is a bitch. Elasticsearch makes it a bit easier, but if you're a startup and search isn't your primary business it's not a bad idea to outsource it to experts.

> A new study from Harvard Business School backs up this line of reasoning. It found that when service-sector employers used a job test, they hired workers who tended to stay at the job longer — indicating that they were a better match. When employers overruled the test results to hire someone for more subjective reasons, the employees were significantly more likely to quit or be fired.

That's an interesting finding considering that standardized tests are often criticized for not promoting diversity. Ive read that standardized tests were originally intended to combat bias, and i think they are fairly successful in that regard. It's a shame that they have fallen out of political favor in favor of looking for "the right type" of subjective qualities of candidates.
Do you have any more info on this new "standard" from the FCC? If true, that…sucks.

What I'm curious to know is, outside of the arguments about React being the superior pattern for developing UI's, how is this fundamentally better than or different from other hybrid libraries like Appcellerator Titanium or Xamarin?

In my experience they all fall short when you try to get the last 20% of your app written. Because you're not writing in the native language, directly accessing native API's, you're always going to be limited to the abstractions that the hybrid framework has (or hasn't) defined.

I much prefer either going full native or full HTML5 because I never hit a wall when I try to do something that hasn't been covered well by the hybrid framework yet.

Why are we jumping to the conclusion that the whole internet would follow the same rules though? I imagine some sites would want to cultivate certain kinds of humor (it might allow abuse, but at least not everyone's walking on eggshells), and others don't (and would rather enforce some rules in the hopes of cultivating an abuse-minimized environment).

Why wouldn't each individual service be able to make its own tradeoffs? Then users would vote with their feet and hangout in the places they like best anyway..

I think the key to this business is getting both employees and founders/board/investors to like you. In practice, the board will prefer some secondary markets and that will drive most of your business. Boards care about the stock not getting into the wrong hands, such as activist investors or hostile acquirers. So being able to offer the board "we'll give employees liquidity, hold your stock without voting it, and not sell till N months after the IPO" would make the difference.

In this way, it seems that React makes a lot of sense as a migration path. Honestly, I find flux/redux and other unidirectional data flows are much easier to scale than most patterns for UI development, especially class/oo ones.

That said, React is just a part of it, and some flows are counter-intuitive in React. This must be said because it is true... that said, I find that React is far better, all around than most of the other options I've used, and I've been building web apps for two decades now.

I'm currently working on supporting an Angular 1.x app, have a proof of concept built in Redux+React, and another app I've been instructed to write in Angular 2. I've also built a couple of SPAs using Backbone. In the end the Redux flow has meant less code as features are added, and I'm working towards writing my Angular 2 app with that in mind. Modern React takes a lot of tooling setup to get started (or starting with someone's existing boilerplate), but the shear amount of boilerplate code that you have to write with Angular2 is just unnerving. The DI model is awkward, and I'm not enjoying it at all...

The Redux+React proof of concept is for half the functionality of the Angular 1.x app, I'm pushing for the change in the next version... with about 1/3 the functionality, the code is 1/10th the size, and there's a lot less complexity... A single state tree, in the end is easier to reason with, even if you're only looking at part of it. It's much easier to deal with, even with scale than trying to add more message channels in an application between components. Getting used to separating actions via a single dispatcher, and the resulting state changes takes getting used to... but so much easier in the end.
Conversely, there's a balance to be struck here. Non-specific error messages can be very annoying, as they are un-Googleable and provide no troubleshooting hints to a technical user.

I think the best approach is to give a user-friendly error message ('you're not connected to the internet: try this ...') as well as an error code, exception message or something similar.
As far as i'm aware those are all still proposed regulations and not in effect yet.

>> How in the hell is a computer ever going to make determinations about the reasonable likelihood of human actors that are sufficient to have as bases for contract conditions?

I'm afraid this is not as far-fetched as you may think.

Determining what is a "reasonable likelihood" of any event is basically the
essence of Bayeasian analysis, a well-understood branch of mathematics that
deals with states of belief. In fact, determining what is a reasonable state of
belief, given some information about a certain situation is the whole point of
Bayesian probabilities.

To give you an example, in the case of "there is reasonable likelihood that
there will be no further suits filed against [x]" someone may well gather some
evidence to build a model of the kind of people who are likely to file suits
against entities similar to [x], then use that model to argue that person A is
very likely to do so.

Personally speaking, I think this is a crap way to reason about human behaviour
but then again, if you throw enough maths at an argument, eventually most people
will back down, and let you have your way.

P.S. Sorry if this isn't clear above: the process of building a model and using
it to estimate the likelihood of an event is fully automatable.

I believe he or she is thinking of the FCC proposal regarding software-defined radios.

It was widely (and incorrectly) reported as requiring all routers to have locked firmware, but that's not really the case, and if the proposal were to go forward there are a variety of ways that the SDR could be locked down while allowing firmware updates in general.

It's not clear that the FCC is even going to go forward with it, though; industry pushback was quite heavy.

edit: it looks like they went forward with the guidance, after amending it to be clear they specifically weren't going after open-source firmware
not really a "bunch of patents." Four or five. There's an entirely separate lawsuit that was tried to a jury in federal court in San Jose that Apple won and has been upheld on appeal. Samsung has asked the Supreme Court [1] to overturn the appeal's court decision. That was based on the iPhone design patents. This one was on utility patents for various features of the iPhone, including slide-to-unlock.

Unfortunately this is not the same as a clustered index as seen in other db's like MS SQL server.

With a true clustered index, the table IS the index, this saves space and time by not having to maintain a secondary index and then looking up the result in the table. This can be very important especially with large datasets.

Really wish true clustered indexes where implemented in PG. Kind of odd the article doesn't mention this while starting out explaining clustered vs non-clustered.
I guess it depends on what "influencing policy" means. Say a scientist using public funds happens to find results that contradict current government policy. Publishing the results could be considered as influencing policy, particularly if the opposition party picks it up and runs with it.
> Were admission rates loosened to accomplish the goals, or were they not?

They were not. The class of 2014 (admitted in 2010) consisted of 101 women and 95 men, having more women than men for the first time in the college's history. The following year it swung back the other way, with only 42% of the incoming class being female. In both years, the same percent of admitted students were valedictorians or salutatorians at their high schools. In both years, the 75%ile SAT and ACT scores remained the same. Admittedly, I don't have access to all of the data, but the numbers I have show that there was no loosening of admission rates.

> graduating the best CS students, regardless of colour, race or gender.

I maintain two counterpoints to this argument:

* Especially when you're talking on the scale of admitting 200 students a year (only ~40 of whom will be CS majors) the difference between the best 200 men in the country and the best 200 women in the country is exceedingly small, if it exists at all. So given that the school is going to admit 200 equally qualified people no matter what, it might as well admit them in the ratio that it chooses.

* That statement has an implicit assumption that individuals are the best CS students. With a few notable exceptions, this is not true in the wider worlds of academia or professional industry. Teams with diverse skill sets, view points, knowledge, and experience perform the best in both academia and industry. So rather than trying to produce the 40 best individual computer scientists every year, Mudd tries to produce the 40 best team players who will succeed and make their chosen teams better by a multiplicative factor, rather than just an additive one.

EDIT: s/colleges/highschools/ when speaking of valedictorians

Standardized tests are rarely job tests. Non-job-specific standardized tests may eliminate bias with regard to what they are designed to measure, but the choice of such a test itself introduces bias to the extent that the test favors one group over another in ways which do not reflect the job for which it is given, even if it is unbiased in what it is intended to measure. (This is the basic reason behind the case that is often mispresented as outlawing standardized IQ tests in hiring, which did not actually do that but instead required that, to the extent that such tests disproportionately disqualified members of a protected class, that there be evidence that the test was a real measure of performance on the job for which it was used as a hiring filter.)

A valid point, but I'd argue Reddit was a better example of a distinct moderation structure than the example she actually did provide, Facebook.

I wasn't commenting at all on why it was invalidated, or whether the invalidation was correct. I was responding to the comment

> I interpret that they didn't find on narrow grounds, the Federal circuit just invalidated a bunch of patents. That's good, right?

The way the comment is phrased, it makes it sound like ajross is saying that it's good that the Federal circuit just invalidated patents. Which is to say, it sounded like ajross was saying that it's good for patents to be invalidated in general, as opposed to whether it was correct for this particular patent to have been found invalid.

> Our current system hinders innovation and causes a hostile environment for anyone creating anything in technology today.

You're talking about software patents here. Design patents are different. Which was kind of the whole point of my comment.

Note: I don't know if I'm using the phrase "design patent" correctly here, because IANAL and I don't know if there's actually a specific legal term for that. What I'm referring to here is a patent that describes some aspect of user experience, which is different than a patent that describes how to accomplish something. It's easy to accidentally infringe on software patents because it's easy to accidentally do something the same way someone else did without knowing. But for these "design patents", you typically infringe these because you explicitly want to copy what the patent holder is doing, i.e. you don't infringe on these things accidentally.
Ah, I hadn't considered that aspect of it. I was presuming that the robot was writing for humans...

React Native doesn't claim "code once, deploy everywhere", and in fact embraces native APIs where appropriate. As a reference, their slogan is "learn once, write anywhere". In other words, learn React Native, and write native apps wherever you want. Indeed one of the opening talks about React Native at React Conf specifically mentions that React Native is a leaky abstraction, and embraces that by allowing multiple escape hatches so that the native APIs are always available.

Railing against React Native seems like railing against Unity3d, or saying that abstracting the common parts of mobile development (while leaving the non-common parts 100% available) is a bad thing.

By the "right way" I mean use every language for its intended purpose, you can't build desktop apps in browsers

You can build desktop apps in browsers (ie emscripten). Additionally, can you explain why a "language" (as compared to platform specific APIs) has any relevance to what can or can't be built for a mobile device? For JavaScript specifically, if Apple didn't think that it was a language for building applications on iOS, then why would they ever have release JavascriptCore (which is what React Native uses)?
