Agreed. Also, given the current cultural fork, I do think there will be plenty of loud, vocal people out there commenting on how Python 2 was the last "real" Python. Programmers are weird.
It suppresses speech on your site. That's what matters.

Same with government-enforced censorship: North Korea can censor speech, but only within its borders. Just because North Koreans living in the US can speak out against Kim Jong-un doesn't mean that what North Korea is doing doesn't count as censorship.
Glad to hear that! This was our intention. CI and CD is something everyone knows they should do but it isn't always done. By making it easier to set up we try to get more people to do it and feel good about themselves.
Isn't the Erlang VM and ecosystem sort of the selling point of Elixir? Not that I'm particularly well versed in the specific strengths and weaknesses of that platform.
Not at all. The incentives behind an income tax don't change based on whether they're paid on the employee's side or the employer's side. If you're an employee that costs 5% more to hire, you're going to get paid less.

(Unless the idea is that taxes should be based on whether or not a job posting requires a degree. But that would be silly, because employers could omit the education requirement from the job posting but still hire the best candidates, or have the need for a credential be taken for granted via codewords like "engineer.")
What architecture do you need to get 100% accuracy?

Don't forget to use a validation set for the model and hyperparameter selection though!
That is largely driven by the content creators and they don't have nearly as much control over it. They signed the Starz deal before streaming was big and when it came up for renewal Starz wanted more for catalog access than netflix was willing (maybe able) to pay. I would pay more for a bigger back catalog, but i guess I am in the minority.
Sure, but the way it is being handled is a sure signal were things are going.

Apple even mentions Swift as a C and Objective-C replacement on their documentation.

Of course, it doesn't make business sense to stop the engines and rewrite all the stuff.

> Netflix will become the exclusive US pay TV home of the latest films from Disney, Marvel, Lucasfilm and Pixar

What does that even mean? Can someone who understands the lingo clarify this for me? Does that mean I'll have to pay per-view to see Disney content on Netflix?
A logarithmic Y-Axis makes that really hard to judge.

Come on, we're programmers, get good at math!
Any nontrivial image relies on a large number of other images as a base, and just because you built it yourself doesn't mean that you didn't just download and install software with known security vulnerabilities.
Sure, and shit is productive in a biological sense. Doesn't mean I want to work with it.
I hate the idea of having to subscribe to a dozen different services for different content I may or may not want, but I guess it's more along the line of paying for only what you want.
They did in Europe. It's called Disney Life. https://disneylife.com
If you're upset about exclusivity in this deal I don't understand. These movies won't be on Hulu or Prime after this deal, but they aren't there currently. A whole bunch of movies are going to become more available for more people.
In most countries hunting is a way to control animal population

After hunting, in a dictionary definition of irony, killed off all the natural predators of the animals that need "control". So I don't think parent was an odd reaction in light of "we created a problem by killing animals, so the obvious solution is more killing!", the outgrowth of which is "got a problem with an individual animal? Just kill it!"

Now you might not agree, but can you at least understand how someone might have an "odd reaction" when someone's first suggestion to the problem is to pick up a gun?
Under that argument - choosing not to mate is erasing people from the gene pool. Choosing who you mate with is also erasing people from the gene pool and denying people the possibility of mating with you at all is also erasing people from the gene pool. With the safe assumption that sperm and eggs have variations from one another - masturbating erases thousands if not millions of potential people from the gene pool and every period a female has without fertilization is another person missing from the gene pool.

Given the number of people on the planet - resulting in trillions (and trillions) of DNA combinations between mating pairs - millions of possible people are erased from the gene pool on the grounds of "not everyone can mate with everyone in a given lifetime, even if we wanted to". Not to mention all the potential genes that die each day.

I'm not sure I see your point.
> To be fair, the top comment here calls out Poe's Law.

The top comment when I posted was a copypaste of the joke disclaimer. And the top reply to the top comment at the time of this posting is a copypaste of the joke disclaimer.

If someone can't figure out why generating a CSS class for every (property, value) combination is funny, then I don't think an explanation will help. Maybe it will give those readers an A-ha! moment and a valuable life lesson, but it won't be funny for them.

If you got rused then that's great. The joke did what it was supposed to do. What sucks is that people who instinctively click the comments first won't get that experience, because some killjoy had to post "IT'S A JOKE DON'T FALL FOR THIS."

Yes, we should fix the slow page loads on GitLab.com. We're working on it in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/operations/issues/42 I'm sorry for the current slowness.
I am skeptical when I hear about what Google is doing w.r.t. to Android, in particular I wonder if any of these people have actually used an android device.

My Nexus 7 tablet has a hard time just charging, turning on and off, and the people I know who have actual phones have continuous problems.

I remember Win 2k allegedly having "power management" on laptops, which mostly meant that my co-workers at the time had their laptops lock hard 4 times a day and have to remove the battery to reboot. Android is a much worse mess than anybody admits it is.
Ok, doing a little research about ADP I realize that this is quite a large company. Sorry, I didn't knew it (am from Germany). But this would make it even more interesting how unicorn is used at ADP and if this already is a reference with regards to the scale of larger installations of Unicorn.
>How much can they really contribute marginally to tuition inflation given that they are only 5-10% of the population?

Being 5-10% of the population does not imply they only provide 5-10% of the tuition. They might also be more likely to be full time, again meaning they pay disproportionally more.
The incentives for roles where the credential is reasonable don't change.

The incentives for the roles where the credential is meaningless change because the employer can choose not to pay the tax (by removing the requirement for the credential). Under your proposal the employee can't.
Quite true. Thanks for the tip!
Not sure I understand your second example.

Just FYI: The lunch paper has very serious problems as described in this reply, also published in PNAS: http://www.pnas.org/content/108/42/E833.full)

In particular, the cases are heard in a particular order. For each prison, the prisoners with counsel go before those who are representing themselves. As in the US, those representing themselves typically fair worse. The judges try to finish an entire prison's worth of hearings before a meal, so the least-likely-to-succeed cases are typically assigned to spots right before a break.

There are some other bits of weirdness in the original data too. They found a statistically significant association between the ordinal position (e.g., 1st, 2nd, ..., last) and the parole board's decision, but failed to find any effect of actual time elapsed (e.g., in minutes), even though the latter is much more compatible with a physiological hypothesis like running out of glucose.
And of course, the "look how awesome I am" answer isn't useful at all, because there are unproven assertions made to make the question tractable, and unknown realities not brought into the problem space(for example, people having genetic predispositions towards birthing sons rather than daughters, or vice versa)
Now that's a job for a bot. By now, someone should have a bot that's smart enough to figure out how to sign up with an arbitrary site. The comment spam crowd seems to have that technology.

And, for me, using Bruce McKinney's stuff[1] really helped fill the gaps. One of the things he said that really stuck with me was "Visual Basic makes 95% of the work really easy and 5% of the work impossible" (probably paraphrasing a bit). And then he'd go on to show you how to make a DLL in C++ that took care of the 5% and link it to your VB program. I stopped free lancing and making money off of VB somewhere between 5 and 6 so I wasn't really there for the whole transition to .Net. But before I found GNU and Linux I had a lot of fun with VB 4 and 5 and even managed to make a decent living from it for a while.

When I'm reviewing an application, the most important thing to me is the cover letter and the specificity in it. If you don't state why you want to work at the company, how you think you could grow being a part of it, or even mention the company by name explicitly, I ignore the rest of the application.

Spray and fire might work if you don't actually care about your job, but this really seems like spam to me.
Of course, but the competition is fierce.
I think the above structure is eerily reflected in large corporations and in government. The actual work/know-how resides in tier 3 and 4, with the top two tiers actually just being better at politics and self promotion.
This is the culmination of some very old news, when Netflix outbid Starz in 2012 for Disney's "pay TV" rights:

http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2012/12/04/netflix-outbid...

Why September if the deal started in 2016? It covers movies that premiere in 2016 or later, and September is nine months after the January 29 release of The Finest Hours[1], the first Disney movie expected to be exclusive to Netflix.

[1] — I earlier opined that Zootopia would kick it off, but The Finest Hours was Disney's first 2016 release and since 7-9 months is the typical wait for a pay-TV window, it seems Disney movies will be on Netflix 9 months after release.
"Determination, patience and grit" go a long way only because other people don't have them. There's a limited number of opportunities and only the people with the most "determination, patience and grit" (among other less moralistic factors) will get them. It's not that you have to pass a set threshold of grit, you have to beat your neighbor.

Living in poverty and in absence of financial security already demands a certain amount of grit just for baseline survival, and hopelessness drains the rest. But regardless of the fairness of the situation, the existence of poverty is bad for everyone, and education is a way out of poverty. And in a democracy, education is and valuable end in itself.
I had quite a few friends who excelled in Science and Tech in highschool and went on to MIT, Stanford, Virginia Tech, GA Tech, Purdue, UofI Urbana, etc.

My parents were over 500k in debt when I was applying to colleges and I had a pretty good idea what I wanted to do with my life, so I opted for an associates degree from a community college and to start my career as a computer programmer as soon as possible. I was making enough money I made it a point to travel to visit my friends and they all seemed miserable, stressed out, disappointed with their choices, frustrated, lost...

All except my friend who went to WPI. He was as enthusiastic and happy as ever eating bad Chinese food, bent over 30 half assembled hacked gameboys, same as when I'd last seen him 3 years ago.

Its the first place I want to take my son when he's looking at colleges.
It's too late for me to fix my comment. I'll tone it down next time.
microsoft knows that vb6 users want vb7, not .net, and that opensourcing it would likely divert millions of people away from microsoft.
There are several things that give away that he is unlikely to have been a real hedge fund manager (oh well, maybe he managed $5mm of friends and family money, but that does not make him a pro!), but what he says on the fee structure is not one of them: several hedge funds would have the standing to claim 2/20 (or even more) without hurdle rates.

A tiny fraction of hedge fund managers would be infringing any laws, if at all.
Excluding the over-the-counter markets(!), the better you are as a hedge fund manager, the more you know what can make you money, what can lose you money and which of your decisions were wrong and which were right: there is no room to blame it on other people doing insider trading.

family favorite franchises such as Back

> The incentives for the roles where the credential is meaningless change because the employer can choose not to pay the tax.

Which would be illegal, and carry a penalty. Unless they choose not to hire someone with an education, in which case, they didn't need the person to have that costly skill.
> There is nothing out there to disprove what people fearfully claim either.

That's not how burden of proof works.

> Sure there were people with allergies long before GMOs but they were in smaller numbers.

Besides the fact that you've made this assertion based on no data what so ever, even if the data existed from the 1800s it's unlikely it would be that good as most people would just not report it and had no access to medical treatment.

> There has been a growing trend of abnormalities and scientists cannot understand why.

Such as?
That's not the right solution. The right solution is opening up intellectual property and copyright laws so that unfair and anti-competitive market conditions stopping forming everywhere around them.

Because the companies that profit off our extremist copyright laws control the media, they don't talk about this very much, but copyright, as currently implemented, is extremely unfair for the consumer, to the extent that many consumers break copyright laws several times a day and often don't even know they've done anything illegal.

We need serious intellectual property modernization and reform.
Thank you, we're very determined to keep shipping. Please let us know if there is something you can use that we're not doing yet.
I think you misunderstood the context of that sentence.

The way I read that was: "most people are hesitant to try a new language with a small community, and lack of stackoverflow support, but here are some potential upsides of being in a small language community".

Not so much: "hey, you should switch to this shiny new thing just because it's new".
He should have used a Recurrent Neural Network with Long Short Term Memory so that the neural network won't have been dependent of the maximum number given NUM_DIGITS. Scalability! No wonders he didn't got the job.

Joke aside, it's funny how simple machine learning problems can reveal people who think you can just give neural networks anything and output anything, and it will work like magic.
It was a path forward that required the people to leave their intellectual property behind. Not sure if path forward is the correct term for that.
It seems like there is very likely a relationship between the explosion of consumer debt and stagnant or falling wages.

I meant by removing the requirement for the credential from the position. I edited in a note about it.

More: But I see that I've misunderstood what you initially proposed. It doesn't make any sense to me to tax the education, I'm not sure taxing the (credentialed) position makes sense, but at least it provides cromulent incentives.
I'm in the same boat and found the claim that "coding is more creative than algorithmic" idiotic.
Ask HN: Are there other developers trying to learn design?
Just curious as to whether the big recent 'designers should learn to code' idea goes the other way for any developers out there?
Interesting, I was unaware. I need to associate more uncertainty to my beliefs about how terrible humans are at making decisions.
Because they've already built giant systems in Java and a rewrite would be extremely expensive.
This is because a huge community of VB developers built up during the VB1-VB6 era, and then Microsoft blew that community to smithereens with the language and licensing changes that accompanied the move to .NET. VB still exists in the form of VB.NET, but in terms of popularity it never recovered from the diaspora of VB6 users who abandoned the platform and never looked back.

So today you have two groups with an interest in talking about VB: a huge community of VB expats who moved on to other languages when the crack-up came, and a relatively tiny community of VB.NET users who either stuck with the platform or came to it later on.
> Why? What positive economic impact does this have? How can you justify 4+ years of lost positive contribution by these individuals to the economy? How is that economically efficient? What metrics are you basing your reasoning on?

Spending 10 years to get a degree versus 4 if you come from a privileged enough background isn't horrendous, especially when the person is working the entire 10 years to help get through the degree (probably close to break even vs going to to educational debt).

Would it be better if they finished in 4 and were able to potentially start earning more money earlier? Of course. But I feel it is completely reasonable for someone who is less-affluent to work hard for 10 years to make their life better if they choose to follow that path. That is what I meant by my statement, not that it's the best path or the most fair path, but it is a path that can be successfully achieved by many (and probably rewarding in many ways that the more affluent will not experience).

Also, Sun did make money on Java with certifications and some licensing.
I highly doubt that. They've already made significant in roads to monetizing the product:

For a small/startup kind of shop that might not be overly appealing, but there are definitely classes of business who see support as a requirement.
Good question.

- The main assumption is you should counter and we're just figuring out the right amount.
- It's assuming that you will not take the job for less than your "minimum acceptable salary", so that's basically the floor for your counteroffer.
- It's assuming you'll counter between 10% and 20% above the job offer you receive. This is based on my own experience negotiating salaries and my background working with companies to develop and leverage their compensation structures.

It accounts for the two 0–10 questions to dial in your specific counter in that 10–20% range I mentioned above.

Once you hit the big "Show my counteroffer!" button, it also updates the "3. Prepare for your final discussion" section of the page to reflect your preferences (like which benefits you value most).

The idea is you could literally be on a call and get a job offer and then use this tool to calculate your counter and navigate the negotiating process.
Glad to hear you're super stoked! I think you're on the money regarding the s3 backup. I think it is making the configuration accessible. I expect you can work around that by doing it yourself.

Ugh no. The main reason we have a problem with a lack of saving in the U.S. is that we spend like our parents did but are paid less than they were. If the wealth didn't always flow to the top, we'd be just fine. But sure, go ahead and blame the poors for not saving enough money.

> for some reason people think its a good idea to market it to consumers.

I'm skeptical of the assertion that most people care, at all. Outside of specific circles (overrepresented on HN), I know vanishingly few people who are willing (able?) to tie company's actions to their market-level consequences.

Marketing this seems like a no brainer: allowing consumers to think this feature isn't exclusive to you just means that they're more comfortable switching to or picking your competitors. Being clear about exclusivity means that you're shifted well up the "must-have" spectrum for many consumers.
