I've spent a lot of time writing Javascript on the front-end in the last year using both React and React Native. I've found the React ecosystem to be a sane, productive and enjoyable development environment.

Interested in sharing more model logic between our front- and backends, I also investigated writing some new backend features using Node (we're currently developing with Rails). But after days of research and playing around with the available options, I came to a conclusion similar to Gavin's -- any reasonably complex backend requires you to either roll your own everything, or try to cobble together literally hundreds of tiny dependencies that weren't built to go together, and then somehow keep track of all of their regressions and breaking changes.

Node's fantastic performance and unique ability to share logic between client and server are enticing, but I just don't trust the community and "best practices" around it enough to bet the farm on it for now.

BrightWork looks like a really interesting proposition. Out of all of these, it's the one that jumps out to me as "I'd use this myself".

The other "I'd use this" for me, is probably Eat My Dust. After some of the recent debacles like Flint, MI, I've been really interested in "at home" testing for various contaminants in water, air, soil, etc. This is something that I think a lot of people care about and might use.
I really think the "woman issue" is tangential at best, and distracting at worst. The simple fact is that a good deal of tech "journalism" consists of rewriting PR pieces and very little more.

Investigative tech journalism is a very rare beast, and always seems to come from major media outlets taking an interest in tech, not tech media outlets taking an interest in actually investigating something.

I honestly think this constant talk of tech bubble is the best thing that can happen to this industry. It keeps people skeptical and allows the industry to make course corrections. It's a much needed regularization.

It's just easier to cut 50% for a couple of months than 10% for years because the results come faster, and so does the motivation to keep it up.

Also, counting calories is not really an exact science, so you want to make sure you stay way below your daily goal, just in case the lunch had 300 calories more than you calculated. This is much easier with lower calorie-goals.

For me a good pace was 1 kg a week, which I could do by sticking to 2000 calories. Most weeks it lost only 0.5 kg but there's still some progress. Luckily, maintaining my weight works just fine with a daily intake of ~3000 cal.

Regarding quick-fixes:
You still have to keep tracking your intake long after you reached your goal of course, otherwise the old eating habits will come back slowly but surely. I think this is where most "diets" fail: They hold your hand for a few months, when you need them to do so for the rest of your life.
> between 1959 and 1975, when the Soviet networks are getting their start, the Soviet computing industry is often pioneering and interesting.

And when you really decide to see what was so pioneering in Soviet computing industry, it all boils down from 'pioneering' to only 'interesting'.

Which helps to get a perspective on a true scope of Soviet CS research.

After all, layered copying of Intel x86 CPUs also was 'pioneering and interesting'.
I agree. It's screwing with my objectivity.
Theory: Andresen met with Wright on Wright's terms, in a hotel conference room prepared and controlled by Wright. Wright anticipated that Andresen would ask for a clean-room laptop to work with. One of two things happened: either (a) Wright had his "assistant" go out and "shop" for a "brand-new" laptop that was actually a pre-bought laptop with a modified copy of Electrum on it. This is the copy of Electrum that was running when Andresen thought that his freshly-downloaded copy was running. Or (b) Wright actually did have a clean laptop bought, but suggested that Andresen connect to a Wi-Fi Network set up and controlled by Wright with a password provided by Wright, by which he then provided the false copy of Electrum through a MITM attack.

Both scenarios require the ability to modify Electrum in a deceptive way (presuming Andresen is familiar with Electrum and uses it frequently). The complexity of either scenario would require considerable literacy both with networking and code, and perhaps months of practice to make sure everything went off without a hitch. Thus, they seem pretty implausible. But if anything out of this scenario is true, I give props to the guy for really committing, you know?

Throwaway to avoid giving too much away but I have used the AD9364 in a few point to point links at my current employer. Its ADC sampling rate is 640MSPS [1]. This oversampling is important, if not outright necessary for noise shaping, and appropriate baseband filtering. I am not quite sure how the LMS7002 chip can achieve a usable 56MHz channel bandwidth with only 61MSPS.

Searching for high-performing Data, DevOps, and Go Engineers. --> https://jobs.lever.co/gametime

Gametime (https://angel.co/gametime) connects communities through frictionless and beautiful mobile applications. We believe communities get closer when people get off the couch and have fun at a live event. Backed by Accel Partners as well as team owners Jeff Mallett (Giants / Whitecaps / Derby FC), Vivek Ranadive (Kings), and David Blitzer (76ers / Devils) we've raised $13mm (including $8mm in May of 2015).

Built for iOS and Android, Gametime makes getting into the game as amazing as being there. Inside gametime.co/app we provide high-res panoramic photos from every section, curated listings as we decrease a universe of 5000 options to the 50 best with ultra fast two-tap checkout and no printing. With our mobile-only approach, we've reduced a 30-minute process to 30 seconds. This approach has led to fast (600% annual) and viral (92% of new purchasers hear about the app from friends) growth.

New Gametimers join for the community of high-performers (known as the Gameteam). New employees also love the environment as we aspire to build the best place to work in SF...

We offer market rate salary (even though we’re small) and real equity (meaning you come out way ahead). Everyone here does meaningful work. You won't end up on the "login button team" here, you will be a big part of the most important conversations on the engineering team. There’s free catered lunch Monday through Thursday and lunch on the company outside the office on Friday! Who said there was no such thing? We offer Blue Cross / Blue Shield via Zenefits and dental insurance. We also have monthly $75 cell phone reimbursement and $80 commuter benefit. We love going to games and we're right by AT&T Park so (if you're into it) you'll hit a bunch of them with your $100 monthly Gametime credit. Go Giants!

In summary, we're fast, well-funded and growing quickly. It's an exciting time to join the Gameteam.

> some speech is so incredibly corrosive to the health of a community that you must draw that line

How does one assess the health of a community as large and compartmentalized as reddit's? Without that data, you'd have no idea which kind of speech is "so incredibly corrosive".

Making guesses as to what speech is "harmful" won't help anyone.

> If there is a general sub for topic X just starting a sub that is "X with stricter moderation" isn't very likely to attract a lot of users.

So you realize a minority of users are willing to make a fuss over how offensive some subreddits are, then.

> the FPH brigades

Yeah, that sucked. But brigading is extremely rare now on reddit.

/r/The_Donald and their "high-energy shitposting" might annoy you, but you can block out the noise. And if they begin to brigade other parts of reddit, they'll be banned just like FPH was.

> moderate general subs so that their tone remains, well, moderate

Tone policing? (even beyond the absurdity of moderating "tone") I don't think reddit users would like that at all. Default subs are run by community moderators. You can subscribe to them, ignore them, make your own, whatever you want. But those are their communities.

Messing with the link between the moderators and the communities they built can very seriously backfire.

It could collapse any subreddit entirely. And that's not good for anyone, especially not reddit's bottom line. They don't make money off of carefully regulating speech.

> ban extremely offensive subs

Well, but they do that already. FPH is gone already.

> it will prevent some people from expressing their legitimate opinions

Then you clearly don't care about free and open discourse. Removing certain ideas from the available pool means you will undoubtedly make your community more extreme. That's fine if you want a (commonly termed) "circlejerk" sub.

But if you actually want to hear a diversity of opinions, understand what both sides of an argument have to say, and actually for once create agreement between two sides rather than pulling them further apart... heavy moderation doesn't work.

If a community sucks, why not just leave it alone? What's it to you if someone, somewhere, is badmouthing minorities? They might be morons, but then why are you wasting your time worrying about someone who's not going to be taken seriously?

I see two dimensions to this situation: is Wright actually Satoshi or does Wright know who the real Satoshi is, and does Satoshi want to be found.

Condition A: Wright is Satoshi and Satoshi wants to be found. In this condition, Wright's actions make no sense. Why publish an obviously fake proof? I suppose if Wright/Satoshi lost the original private keys this would make some sense, but is really unlikely.

Condition B: Wright is Satoshi and Satoshi does not want to be found. Here things actually make perfect sense. Wright/Satoshi is trying to discredit himself by publishing fake proofs. This is a sort of hiding in the open thing that might work.

Condition C: Wright is not Satoshi but knows who the real Satoshi is, and Satoshi wants to be found. In this condition, Wright is trying to prevent Satoshi from being found for some reason, and he is doing this by trying to muddle the waters and throw doubt. If the real Satoshi shows up and provides a proof, non-technical people can now say "well Wright provided proof, but that turned out to be fake. Do we trust that this is real?".

Condition D: Wright is not Satoshi but knows who the real Satoshi is, and Satoshi does not want to be found. In this case Wright is trying to somehow capitalize on being considered the real Satoshi, or is trying to protect Satoshi from being found.

Condition E: Wright is not Satoshi and does not know who the real Satoshi is, and Satoshi wants to be found. In this case Wright is trying to somehow capitalize on being considered the real Satoshi, or is trying to muddle the waters for the real Satoshi.

Condition F: Wright is not Satoshi and does not know who the real Satoshi is, and Satoshi does not want to be found. In this case Wright is trying to somehow capitalize on being considered the real Satoshi.

P(c|a) is not 1. If we assume correlation is Pearson, then the "shape" of the causation has to be a linear effect for P(c|a) = 1. A U-shaped effect will probably give you a Pearson 0, etc.

I do love the work of Pearl, et. al. But even they do not admit Pearson (or any other type) of correlation, but rather the nebulous "statistical dependence". So the proof only works if your statistical dependence tool of choice matches the nature of your causal effect perfectly.
>From reading it, I believe no other tool is both (1) non-sampled and (2) supports instrumenting all functions simultaneously. (At least none of the other comments in this thread point at tools that do this.)

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding things, but I don't see how perf doesn't fit those two requirements. It does a lot more than just sampling
These types of articles make me laugh. Typically a dev with many many years experience with one language, learned all it's quirks, standards, etc decides to try Node.js because it's the "new hot fun toy", and expect it to work like their old language, and realize that is not how it works, doesn't know where to find what and fails real hard to realize that JavaScript in general is in a huge influx of updating at this moment, which by nature propagates to Node.js.

The end result is they get frustrated and go back to their old language.
