so that's even in a fairly rich "developed" country...hello the rest of the worlds roads aren't generally any better...

this is exactly the moment when I ponder "why the hell is this whole automatic-self-driving-car thing being pushed so hard generally?"

it seems like a rather absurd and silly effort to begin with... what's wrong with a bloody system of maglev propelled capsules being shot through tubes, or the train, or a normal car you drive with a steering wheel, accellerator pedal, and brakes?
Just more evidence the media, that for months has been sounding the alarm that Web 2.0 had burst, is almost always useless and wrong. Tech media no exception. I guess it's not burst. The Nasdaq stock index is up 15% from the lows in Fed. We're seeing a flight to quality, not a bubble burst, which is a subtly that is lost on most journalists.

I agree with most everything you said; I just wanted to add my $0.02 to the remainder:

> I hate GoDoc. I tried to like it, but it's essentially a list of function signatures with a near complete absence of examples or clear instructions. The documentation culture in Python is much better, IMHO.

Just to give the opposite opinion, the nice part of godoc.org is that you get all the information in a consistent format in one place, and you can write documentation without needing to know Sphinx in all its complexity. Also, godoc.org is automatic--you don't need to publish anything yourself. I'm especially frustrated by documentation in Python because half the time all of the documentation for a given library is dumped onto one massive page, making it difficult to know if I'm looking at sqlalchemy.sql.select() or sqlalchemy.expression.Select.select() or sqlalchemy.sql.schema.Column.select() or etc. ReadTheDocs is great for libraries that use it, but there are too many that don't.

> Channels are kinda slow

They're still very fast for someone coming from Python.
Yeah, my sister just recently got tenure at a regional state school, and was able to parlay it into a tenured position at a large state school in the midwest where her husband also works. It's brutal out there. It was brutal even for them.

They didn't go to top-10 Ph.D programs. They went to top-2 Ph.D programs.

If you're not getting a Ph.D from one of the 3 absolute best-regarded programs, the odds are just insane.
I believe you're being honest, but what about in two years? Four years? Six years? Anything can change in that time span, including your sales model.

That is certainly more musically interesting from a perspective of what can be achieved with computers, however the translation into electronic music of that tennis data involved lots of artistical freedom and it needs much more precise information on how that was translated.
How else, if not by human interference, could there be some 4/4 techno beat and offbeat hihat. A much better interpretation would take the quite irregular time-based counting structure of tennis 'point'&'advantage' 'game''set' and interpret that as a rythm without the boring techno-bed. The sounds here are also much more fitting, since they are synthetic and adequately mixed.

Maybe all the cases of 'music done with some neural-machine-learning presented as awful sounding midi piano renderings' are just there because music seems to be a universally liked phenomenon simply presented as pitch over time and its appealing to research students of this specific field of programming to take this as an anchor for their experiments.

As a general tip for these projects:
If you take music as a main plot point, then learn some basic music dsp and render your experiment with well behaved sinewaves, or get some daw and put some nice preset sound to it - basically put some minimal effort to the actual musical presentation. Awful music is much more unbearable than awful graphics.

Oh ok, I didn't know that. I tried Quip when it first came out. Anyway, even if functionally they are similar, the Slack ecosystem is too strong now.
Well, my point was that maybe moving the guy (and no other people) was not an option that would solve the issue. In no circumstance do I think someone be forced to move like that.
Now, if we change the program while it is running, is it going to change the program on disk? I.E., once I've hotpatched this thing, can I rely on the patch "sticking" when I shutdown and reload my program? My understanding of this is rudimentary, so I want to make sure that I understand (even though I don't see a use case for me).
great arguments there. specially the closing one.

also not sure what you are comparing from that fellow on your first vague argument. He was a Governor of a lowly state. what's the comparison to president or the dictators?

but well, i think you at least gain some points for not being on the dictatorship-denial group like the other pro-impeachment people...

Wondering if any of the current/ex-employees were allowed to liquidate their holding?
Facebook, specifically, is struggling with the issue that strong correlation doesn't imply semantic value (i.e. posts with a lot of activity can be really good OR really bad) and corner cases. The semantic value issue they're addressing with the multifaceted "like" button.

The corner cases issue may not be fixed. As harsh as it is to say---and as unacceptable, perhaps, as it should be to work this way---there is a train of thought that goes "Even if we get the occasional bad result, when we have a billion users and 99% of the results are good; ship it. That's 990 million happy customers." The 1% bad results have to be really bad to tip the scales.
Rackspace Mail is the leader in this category, with 3 million paid mailboxes. They offer webmail/IMAP/POP/Mobile/Exchange hosting, a 100% availability SLA, and 24x7x365 live chat/phone/email support.

Pricing starts at $2/mailbox/month, but there's a $10/month billing minimum. $10/month is more than reasonable for a small business to spend on e-mail hosting, IMO.

In the same category of curve ftting, there's also work done by Itoh and Ohno ("A curve fitting algorithm for character fonts", https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/e8fa/3b676324dc17ce3098ddbc...) that tries to do the same kind of fitting, with fewer segments but slightly higher MSE. If you read graphics gems, you might want to read this, too.
Don't you get it? People are not willing to put up with older technology that works, because the UI design has fallen out of favor. People need something dumbed down, mobile friendly, with low barriers to entry, but most importantly of all: it has to be something everyone else is using. Because the most important proof is social proof. There is no place for your solution here /s
Small PRs are an issue because PRs are dependent on other users and can't be dependent on a prior PR.

Let's say we're adding an interface/typeclass/protocol and a concrete implementation. I'd say these should be two separate commits, as they're adding two different things. An interface doesn't require a provided implementation to work. But, if we were to create those as two separate pull requests, it would be more work for the project maintainers, and the initiator wouldn't be able to create the PR for the concrete implementation until the interface PR was merged - the concrete PR can't be added as a dependent PR of the interface one, or something to that effect.

Since you can "compare" almost anything on Github, small commits aren't really an issue, just view a larger-scope comparison to get an idea of the whole PR.

Another way to put this might be that commits are for individual code changes that build up to a pull request, which is a conceptual change?

> - There's enough metaprogramming capabilities to make some really clever code. The downside is that there's enough metaprogramming capabilities to make some really clever code

Interesting. My chief criticism of Python (as a Python dev) is that Python has too much metaprogramming capabilities, and people always write code that is more clever than necessary. I find that Go's culture seems to value doing simple things unless absolutely necessary. In one case, a recent Ruby->Go convert made a middleware library called Martini that leaned heavily on reflection, and the community's response was something like, "This is neat, but this seems too clever to be idiomatic", and the developer turned around and built Negroni, which is (I hear) more idiomatic and less clever.

You got significantly downvoted for some reason, and I'm not sure why, especially in light of Microsoft's most recent embarrassment (http://www.theverge.com/2016/3/24/11297050/tay-microsoft-cha...).

Do people perceive, perhaps, that there's a difference between "corporate Microsoft" and "AI research Microsoft," and the former would never make a mistake with their products like the latter has? I find that a less-than-likely assumption.

Much of this holds true in other fields as well, even technical fields if you intend to go into academia rather than industry

Yeah. That's why I posted it. In 2012 I wrote my own version about why going to grad school in the humanities is a bad idea: http://jakeseliger.com/2012/05/22/what-you-should-know-befor....

When I started, in 2008, the market wasn't fantastic but wasn't as catastrophically bad as it's become. Fortunately, I now work as a grant writing consultant and do some teaching that's more for a change of pace than for serious, keep-your-head-above-water income.

Hey, OP here.

I originally intended to leverage Rack all the way through by inspecting headers. However, much to my chagrin, I discovered that Genius does not reveal its identity in the headers, so I had to resort to JS instead to accomplish my goal.
Yeah, but I don't think Python adheres very well to its own zen. I actually think Go follows it better. :/
As a person who reads and is mindful of what I click, I click the button that says what I want it to do.
I suspect a lot of software developers would benefit from a similar approach when it comes to improving quality and, in particular, improving security practices. There seems to be a striking dichotomy in our industry today between those who welcome responsible disclosure or even actively encourage it with things like bounty programs, and those who consider anyone knowing a potential vulnerability in their systems a danger and will treat even a genuine attempt to help through responsible disclosure as some sort of threat to be handled by lawyers or police. I'm fairly sure about which group generally makes more secure software. However, it would be a welcome cultural shift if not only support for responsible disclosure but also publicly acknowledging and discussing security issues were more common in our industry, so others could learn from the same mistakes.
So.. somebody is suprised ?

They took the public concept of "show someone a youtube video and film their reaction" and turned it into a major business (millions in revenue) on youtube. Then they turned around and tried to trademark "reaction videos" and offer "licensing" to anyone else who.

Then 4chan organized some raids and they lost a bunch of subscribers and panicked and backed-off the trademark attempt.
Navigational hints would be one step ("Use arrow keys to navigate" would be soooooo simply to add).

Alternative methods would be another (floating/transparent arrows on the sides... prev/next page area's to click... sliding bar on the bottom to indicate something that can be moved)

CloudFlare https://www.cloudflare.com/ | San Francisco, CA; London, UK; Singapore, SG; Urbana-Champaign, IL; Austin, TX | VISA, ONSITE

CloudFlare is building a better Internet -- performance and security optimization at the edge. Our long term goal is to give every site the same performance, security, and reliability that major sites like Google and Facebook accomplish, without any specialized network hardware or complicated administration. We enhance millions of sites, including this one. We're hiring for a variety of roles -- started 2015 at 128, ended around 220, doubling again in 2016. This is a perfect time to join -- product market fit is established, but there's a lot of great engineering, product, sales, and support work to be done.

We've publicly said we're profitable and on track for long term independent success. You may wish to check out our blog to see the kinds of engineering work we do. (https://blog.cloudflare.com/).
https://www.cloudflare.com/join-our-team has a listing of positions.

We're always hiring for operations/SRE, sales, general systems engineering (mostly in Go, nginx, and network, as well as DNS at scale), and web development.

Specific roles we're keen to hire include:

0) Great operations/SRE staff: operating our system at scale (80+ datacenters around the world, 24x7 coverage, >4 million sites) requires highly competent, hard-working, and communicative engineers.

1) Product designer(s) -- we're looking for great talent to help build UX for new products, and to improve the interface and user experience of our existing products. We have a range of customers, from consumers with a single blog all the way through some of the largest sites on the Internet, and designing interfaces which work well for all of these users is a big challenge -- are you up to it?

2) Great front-end engineers -- building new UI/UX to expose controls and data to customers is an increasing portion of what we do. Our current front-end stack is Backbone + Marionette with Browserify and Sass. Our new projects are using React + Redux + Babel + css-modules, and generally adopting Higher Order Components. We're also starting the process of re-imagining our main WWW Front-end stack with a migration to Redux.

3) Systems Engineer -- looking for people to help serve even more traffic, build infrastructure for security and robustness, and contribute back to open source projects. We make extensive use of nginx, lua/luajit, and ssl-at-scale.

4) Really interested in people who want to help fix problems for Internet publishers (articulate what those are and how you think you could help)

(Also -- We're particularly interested in people with Mandarin experience; we have a joint venture with Baidu, and want to make the experience for both Chinese Internet users and Chinese sites abroad as great as it can be.)

If you're interested, please apply through the https://www.cloudflare.com/join-our-team link
Technically, no, it's not the same thing. But, for a user, it is the same thing. Ultimately, it's the user's experience that matters, not the technical details.

Much like I don't care which bus gets me from point A to point B, or if I'm the only the one on the bus or not... it's the experience of the trip between points that matters.
Sure, it's a terrible feature to always use. And it's likely to be of little use to contributors who know how to use Git well. But in large open-source projects, often new contributors make a small change that needs a few minor corrections. Eliminating that final back-and-forth ("squash please") is a huge win for maintainers.
WebRTC happened in that time.
That's what I said/tried to say. Not very clearly though, it seems.

There's no guarantee that every individual commit of a feature branch is meaningful, or even builds. It also makes the history of the master branch a lot harder to read when it has tons of commits representing the minutiae of the feature's development.
