Are you arguing that investors will sidestep Bill and invest directly in the bonds? If that was the case, I don't know how PIMCO manages trillions.

The reality is that he wants to attract investors to his fund. Obviously, accounting doesn't include that in his returns.
Curious because this isn't my field...is Python close enough? If not python, what about Rust? Lua? All of above?
There is some very shady SEO going on here. The French translation link goes to a Wordpress blog with a very bad translation of the introduction. The root of the translation website is a completely unrelated Dutch used car website.

Other pages on the translation blog follow the same pattern: an old webpage (this HN entry is from 2009, but other pages go back to 2000) is edited years later to link back to a bad translation in some random language.

This is very far from my area of expertise, so I'm curious to know if this is well-known, and if those pages were hacked or if this was inserted by the owner himself.

EDIT: This is fascinating. I'm finding dozens of similar blogs, with links spanning at least a thousand hosts, which I'm assuming were hacked. This is a big network, with sophisticated wording designed to look as innocent as possible.
No, that is not what you said. You said "people who stand to benefit directly from HFT will tell you it has benefits, and everyone else will tell you it doesn't."

Your comments are right there for everyone to read, and they're getting flagged off the site for a reason.
Well put. Likewise, you can reframe the difference as 'women are paid less overall than men' or as 'men get less leisure time and less time with their families overall'. It would be interesting to see a campaign for shorter hours for men without changing pay.
You are being overly reductionist. You are conflating "the economy" with economics. "The economy", the noun is very recent. Treating economic activity as an abstract system without its sociopolitical context, tacitly assuming that its telos is to grow and grow, this is all very new. Aristotle spoke of economy. Pundits today talk about the Economy. Job creators. Growth. It is a cargo cult.

Cooperation shapes and drives biology just as much as competition does. Civilization did not give us prosocial tendencies. The founding myth of civil government is exactly that. A myth. It is historical revisionism. It is reductionist. It is a mutilated view of people. Hobbes was wrong.

> But as long as there is human desire for status over other humans, there will be haves and have nots.

Honestly i am so tired of conversations that appeal to human nature as some immutable, invariant, unassailable truth. This isn't an argument, this is an assertion. Speak for yourself. If you desire status over other people, admit it. I find your characterization of the billions rest of us crude.

This article speaks directly to the problem that Art of Problem Solving is trying to address. https://www.artofproblemsolving.com/
Richard Ruszcyk wants to teach kids to think, how to solve novel problems, and hates the normal approach of teaching rote formulas. No student steeped in the AoPS way would crash during the Oxford interviews. An Oxford interview is their "middle school normal".

The AoPS text books are the best math textbooks I've seen anywhere. The online classes are great, but the pace is blistering. But most kids should use the AoPS books, just at a more suitable pace. (And by blistering, I mean my daughter was very seriously challenged to keep up with her peers all the way through single variable calculus, where AoPS tops out. She then enrolled in multi-variable calculus at a local engineering university at age 13 and blew away the curve.)

AoPS is an example of where learning can go. AoPS teaches how to think, not how to takes tests.
Harsh, yes, but I had the same experience. I scrolled around looking for some actual music, then left the site to check HN news comments.

Thanks for the tip about the "popular" link, I had missed it. After checking out a couple scores I signed up, looks like a cool site. Had the site simply put their top 4-8 songs (with that nifty preview-on-hover) on their landing page, I imagine their sign-up rate would skyrocket.
I was hit by this issue too. Everything that came up online (and worked in the past) was to reset the date in the Terminal. Of course, that didn't help in the slightest.
it does seem to exclude media.

That text is now more than 15 years old. In those 15 years, has it actually made a damn bit of difference? To anything? Anywhere?

I mean, it's cool and all. But is it more than that?
I'm a huge bridge fan - it's a very logical game, and the rules are simple but the implications many. It also has two parts: the bidding, in which you signal to your partner what you have as well as determine both trump and which partnership will play (The game incentives bidding as high as you can, but not bidding higher than you can achieve; and the play, which is an exercise in odds and using the information gleaned during the bidding - it is often practical to pull off bids that sound highly dubious.

Duplicate bridge, as described in this article, is one of the most satisfying ways to play - you aren't relying on the luck of the draw, you are scored how you do on this deal vs others that play WITH THE EXACT SAME DEAL. (generally you preserve your hand as you play, and pass your hands to the next group to play). So even on a terrible hand, if you can do better than others, you score points.

The problem in dealing with cheating is that any efforts to block communication or signaling first require you to have no social chatter. Boring - play Go or Chess then.
(and second, they require you to signal to the other partnership if you're using non-standard signals, which gets messy but isn't boring)

For people interested in learning bridge, just recognize that the need for exactly 4 to play is one problem, and without the duplicate part (which then requires at least 8 players) luck plays a bigger part. Despite greatly enjoying the game it's been years since I played. The local bridge club at the time was hard to enter because I was a young 30-something and everyone else was a retiree.
That argument ignores cultural evolution, which humans have long used to adapt to changing circumstances much more quickly than biological evolution. Just as we evolved culturally to accommodate the transition from hunting and gathering to agriculture, we will do the same to accommodate our modern post-physical labor society.

And I don't think we live in a "hyper-PC" society in this regard at all. Let's put it this way. People would be more surprised to find out that a woman's husband quit his job to stay home with the kids than to find out that her husband is a different race.
There was/is a 'looking for co-founder?' thread yesterday, but it hasn't taken off yet. Enough upvotes, but too little content. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11213803
Surprised as well, but I suspect any discussion on this topic will again turn into a lingering H1-B discussion.
> What does still exist is a position gap as researched in earlier years.

This is key and should probably be mentioned in the title. People of different genders in the same position have similar salaries. It's the disparity in positions they attain that creates a wage gap.
Really? I would consider it to be quite common, given the prevalence of used cars.
It's not trivial, unless you mean you are able to find software to edit it. Most people are not capable of doing this. If you run into a recruiter who edits your PDF you should probably bypass them anyway.
Actually, a lot of kids can't switch between bottle and breast (even with the new 'nipple imitation' designs) and they end up 'losing' the ability to drink from one of them
Neuroscientists use the word "inhibition" for the situation when an excited/activated neuron suppresses the excitation of another neuron. An inhibitory connection is like a negatively weighted connection in an ANN. That seems similar in spirit to the psychological use. Yeah, context is important.

There is still a fundamental problem with voice: it has to understand your words.

A text field in contrast doesn't need any intelligence, nor do buttons.
This is in particular important for instance for people living in non english speaking countries but using english in specific contexts (work, gaming, minor hobbies etc.). Switching language in audio applications are generally a PITA. Then even when you do the switch between languages every time, the engines are still have huge performance gaps between the languages.

Sofware has become way extremely tolerant for multiple languages IMO. Voice recognition interfaces are not so mature yet in my experience.

Seems like you're letting perfect be the enemy of good.
I like the longer articles in the New Yorker. The charm of articles like that is becoming familiar with a milieu, not the notional theme of the article. Learning about a small but dedicated subculture by reading an interesting story is more interesting than just knowing the facts about a professional contract bridge cheating scandal.

This tl;dr thing makes sense in articles about technical subjects when all you really want to know is the answer. It makes no sense for things you read for pleasure.
There are new languages with quite nice IDE support e.g. Swift or Kotlin.

Does Crater ever find unstable tests that don't pass consistently on a good baseline? If so, do you just blacklist those packages and/or feedback improvements?

NM: after reading more carefully, it's clear that at least in the case where rust causes the "regression" you feedback the improvements, so likely the same for unstable tests.

That would be interesting. You could fairly easily write an automatic spell corrector though. Just replace each word with the most likely anagram as scored by a Markov chain.

I imagine you could do random word substitution with synonyms. By this "watermark" you could identify the source of a leaked document.
Not a novel usage at all. It's frequently used to mean "insulated" or "protected from the outside". E.g.:

(Googling lowercase "hermetic" is nearly impossible since the uppercase meaning is much more prevalent.)

Of course, talking about "hermetic containers" makes it a sort of pun.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that's not how this will be viewed in a local/regional context. My guess is the local boys just trying to survive won't be seen as the problem when compared to the international imperialists and dictators we seem to be viewed as.

Just a guess, really, but on an international level, we'll know the truth. But, I'm guessing this dam(n) failure will be yet another successful recruiting tool for ISIS and the like.

> The "algorithm dance" only demonstrates that you can memorize an algorithm and how to use it to an academic degree. That's it. I've never seen it differentiate between developers to any useful degree and found that it only helps those who are more "fresh" with the specific algorithm knowledge you happen to ask about.

Indeed. When I've interviewed junior candidates, I gave them a function with some inputs and asked them to produce the outputs. At least this requires them to exhibits some degree of analytical reasoning on something you've never before seen. You'd be surprised how many candidates can't even do that.
As an electronic musicial (http://www.soundcloud.com/decklyn) I'll give you some feedback from years of hanging out in a DAW. I'll bring up my perspective on some points others have offered and a few other items primarily related to usability. Note that I've spent a lot of time in a piano roll rather than notation software so my experience is very colored but hopefully this is somewhat useful.

1) The need for instruction others have cited I think is a bit over-stated - I was able to get in and start writing immediately without any introduction.

2) Using social media for login eliminates the barrier to entry for me personally. I was fine signing in. Sure it might be fun to allow an ephemeral experience if people just want to check it out but I wouldn't put that at the top of your backlog.

3) Placing notes.
IMO placing a notes should be a toggle not a draw function. I don't want to select a note and delete it - I want to double click it and have it disappear as you would in pencil mode in a daw. At the same time, I don't want to click a note and then click on the length of the note to change it - I want to drag the selected note's length.

3) If I want to change a notes length, I'm forced to change a group of notes existing at the same time. I'm assuming this is a limitation of the modelling - eg that for each fragment of time, a group of notes exist together. This inherently limits me from producing music. If I want to write a quarter note A and two eigth notes C and then D I have to draw a twice and then tie it - this is a lot of work IMO. Again maybe it's because I'm used to the piano roll in a daw and I haven't worked in notation software as much but I fell like it should behave somewhat similarly - that notes are more of a toggle.

Using ties doesn't seem intuitive - although it lets me span the length of a single note, maybe you could have a tool that treats notes like a grid and lets me click a noted and drag it in the grid - vertically for pitch and horizontally for length.

Just some ideas based on things that I found where a bit difficult for me to get done having a quick trip through.

It's cool though - thanks for making this. I'd consider laying ideas out here on the go.

Speaking from someone who uses Java everyday and has built a company that mainly uses Java I can tell you the Java tooling is fairly irritating (and I like Java).

Java doesn't have really good canonical tools that ship with the JDK nor is there a necessarily an industry preferred choice (Javadoc is probably the only exception). This of course includes more than just build tools. The fragmentation is huge.

For example Java doesn't have a defined format tool like gofmt or rustfmt nor does it have a preferred build/dep system like crate (there are several ... maven, gradle, ant). Even more annoying is that unlike code completion and refactoring tools (Rust racer) for Java are tightly coupled with the IDE and there are really only two choices: morbidly obese and broke: Eclipse or trust fund expensive but works: intellij.

With Racer you can use whatever editor or IDE you like. I wish I had something like that for Java.
Why wouldn't internal candidates have been vetted prior to spending time on the application process and phone interviews with others?

It could be that the internal process started simultaneously, just that the internal candidate "grabbed the thread", and either the HR contact wasn't informed, or didn't think / wasn't coached to notify the external candidates as to the change in status. Until they went back to clean up their inbox.

"What on earth is going on inside Etsy? What are they doing?"

I've come to accept that even when all parties involved have the best of intentions, the workflow of candidate vetting, combined with the inherent game theoretic aspects[1] of finding the best available candidate on the market (when one generally has no idea what market looks like until one has churned through a goodly number of candidates), all come together to make the process more complex (and time consuming) than people generally anticipate.

Unfortunately what gets added to this is that seldom do people stop to think, "Wait, if we don't treat ALL candidates nicely during the process, that means the good ones won't apply again. And they won't recommend their friends to apply to join us, either." And so, "Maybe we should put a little more thought into candidate experience, and make a point of treating them better."

Again, this is under the best of circumstances, and assuming that the parties involve seem to have put some degree of thought into, and to have some sense of discipline behind their vetting and communication process. Sadly, this isn't very often the case.

I read the comment as a reference to Godwin's law, not Windows.

Rustwin's law: As discussions of C++ grow longer, the probability of a comparison to Rust approaches 1.
Part of my comment was questioning the meaning of support. Are we talking emotional support, and simply being accepting of other's identity? Are we taxing some roles and subsidizing others to normalize economic freedom? What if the market also has inherent preferences that mirror natural preferences? Do we actively recruit youth and try to get them into under-represented roles? What about undesirable roles?

I don't know... maybe this is all moot if we're still working through the "simpler" stuff like balancing laws and getting rid of stereotypes.
Constantly declaring victory doesn't mean you've won an intellectual debate. The left have convinced themselves that gender roles are bad, and the left happen to dominate some academic fields. That doesn't make them the sole arbiters of true and false.

I received an offer from them early last year (declined) and cash compensation wasn't any higher than the other offers I had at the time, but the equity was substantially higher.
Note, a gender gap in salaries does not imply an absence of a large differential in proportional representation.

In fact, given the tech sectors large salaries compared to the population at large, the presence of proportionate salaries and disproportionate representation would add to the overall wage gap.

Am I wrong to think that the stretching of the band does not have anything to do with "how far along the band" the mouse will travel? Maybe it's my English as a second language, but my intuition is that the mouse still travels along the band as it expands, and you would probably need a point of reference, e.g. How far along the gap that the elastic band bridges to make the question more challenging.
