Yeah, I saw that you guys take a query test and spit out json with emojis :). It would be nice to have official one so you guys don't cut IPs off :)
Gaza and Palestine are one, historically, and as the Oslo accords designate. They are artificially separated at present. Yes Egypt is hostile to Gaza, there was a brief period during the revolt when it wasn't but now it is, under Egyptian military dictatorship. Jordan is hostile, it's in a military alliance with Israel. Palestinian nationalism is against all of these countries' interests, that's why they have always countered it. For example Jordan in 1971 with Israel's aid put down a Palestianian revolt.

Ok I live in Pretoria, South Africa, where do you stay? Sderot?

Chomsky is a very fine scholar on Israel, one of the greatest. Very much worth reading, particularly "The Fateful Triangle" He was a Zionist, lived there.
At my work, that tabs vs spaces ended up being the most discussed scene. I thought it was genius.
They are in a tough spot with so much riding on every model. If GM makes a bad car, it's one of many current products and one dud in a century-long track record. If Tesla makes a flop ... they might be bought by GM (which, after all, was originally an agglomeration of smaller car companies).

And unlike a small software company, they can't just fix the problem (at least, not a hardware problem) with an update.

Then again, they may have more room for error than someone making spaceships.
As a language, one problem is that it is many people's first programming language, and it's a very bad introduction. In particular it doesn't teach people to think in terms of standard data structures like hash maps / dicts. It's bad for the job prospects of lots of grad students who might hope to leave academia.
Well those are sort of equivalent. But yeah, we use cross-entropy between the projected output and the target emoji distribution as our objective to minimize.

And yes, we do the t-SNE on that pre-projection space. That's why we can visualize the targets (emoji) in it. We can also t-SNE the word embeddings themselves — the input to the RNN — which is also kind of interesting. It automatically learns all kinds of structures there. Chris Olah has a good post on word embeddings if you're interested: http://colah.github.io/posts/2014-07-NLP-RNNs-Representation...
Physically damaging batteries can directly cause a fire, whereas a punctured gas tank won't unless the leaking fuel finds a source of ignition. This is a failure mode unique to electric cars with batteries located there.
I'm afraid the article has left me unconvinced. I'm open to having my mind changed on the matter, though.

The point of passing boolean params instead of named functions is that most of the time there is shared code between the two paths and not literally all the code is enclosed in either the if or the else block. If the author was intending just to restrict to that one specific case where there was no overlap whatsoever, then I guess I would agree but I'm not sure how often that happens.

Polymorphism has some advantages but it's certainly got it's own troubles in terms of understand-ability. The author links to an article which even states "I think that we hate conditionals more than we should. Introducing polymorphism too soon will complicate your code, making it hard to understand and test." It then goes on to give an example where it says polymorphism is actually the right choice, to avoid two switches. I'd say that at least this trivial example would be best handled by some data-driven approach. Look up salaries in a database instead.

The inline statement one can certainly be better in some cases, but the example given is quite poor. What does "foo && bar || baz" mean? Well, now I have to remember the order of operations ... 'or' after 'and' I guess. Surely this is easier to misread than the if statement example, which in my mind closely matches how I think. At least it should be "(foo && bar) || baz". But even then, that only works when the actual return type is boolean and there are no state changes made.

I don't really see how using an Optional type would remove the if(null) checks. It just makes the meaning explicit, which is good but not remedying the original problem.

5 seems nice.
Wow that is a painful way to read this excellent book.

For a long time hard copies of this book would go for $200 to $300 on Ebay, being bought by computer collectors and general computer knowledge archivists. There is so much solid information in it about computer design, the tradeoffs, the engineering that it really should be on anyone's bookshelf who is serious about systems.
and a very inadvisable way to learn programming. (But I agree with what you said.)

Ah, back when gaming was fun :-) Best gaming I ever had was back at university where we rented out a floor of the student union, setup 8 bitchin' PCs in each of two separate rooms, wired it all together with a huge projector in the central room, and invited players from all over the state for a 16-team bracket playoff of Quake 1 CTF. That was a hell of a good weekend.
Read about the four types of luck.

By doing more & learning more & meeting more people, you essentially increase your luck surface area in 3 different ways, increasing the odds you'll get lucky.

Given that the consequences were really bad (your car caught on fire) and the problem was easily fixed, it sounds like a reasonable complaint, even if the circumstances where it happened were pretty extreme.
In short, yes. The portals are a wreck. Every time I, or anyone I know, uses it, they are pissed off. It's just needlessly "Metro" and confusing.

It's terribly slow, too. Machines take forever to startup. Their SSD story is a joke (requires special machine types on pre-sized arrays, instead of just a switch). It's far more expensive (2x to 10x GCE last I checked, depending on machine size). The networking is bizarre - all machines in a "service" share an IP. So their recommendation is to put SSH on different ports like 221, 222, 223, to get to a specific machine. Just silly.

I really, really wanted to like Azure; it'd be good for AWS to have real competition. And I am very biased against Google. But GCE is just so superior.

I suppose to see for yourself, try setting up a 3 node SSD Elasticsearch cluster on Azure and GCE. With GCE my experience is that it'll take significantly less time, even if you already know Azure and GCE.

Not as much "moving away from Clojure" as "haven't needed to write any server-side code in a long time". I would still use Clojure for that, unless it was a socket-level cluster thing where BEAM would work better.

Lua is a great fit for this for several reasons. Mainly it's because I want to make it a game where you can learn to program, and teaching beginners Clojure is incredibly difficult. Lua's relentless simplicity really shines here. Teaching tables is a snap, and trying to teach lists, vectors, hashes, and structs in Racket makes my kids' heads swim. Secondly because the of in-game programming, you need sandboxing, and Lua has excellent facilities for this. And Lua's speed and access to the LÖVE game framework make it the best choice for games that I've found.

Lua has its problems, but in the context of games 90% of them can be summed up with "you had a nil where you didn't expect it" which is something Clojure is quite bad at too. I would say in some senses it's been liberating to work on a codebase that doesn't need to interact with the madness of the web, and being able to count my dependencies on one hand (and read through their sources exhaustively) is wonderful.

> Which, at the time, I thought was a bit odd bringing up in casual conversation with someone he didn't know.

I'm not sure that being crass is necessarily an indicator that he's more likely to be a rapist. That's the problem with all this, there's a lot of substantiated stories about him being an asshole, an actual refutation by the party involved of one of the stories that was originally conveyed by a third party, and a bunch of unsubstantiated stories about him being as asshole and a rapist. I don't think the correct thing to do in this case is to assume his guilt. The right may not include assuming his innocence either, until more information is presented.

There's a lot of "you should believe the victim" stuff going around, but at this point are we sure there even is a victim (in the rape accusation)? Is it all third party accusations about anonymous victims, or do we actually have a victim that has come forward? I think that's an important distinction. I put a lot less trust in anonymous sources.

Their best hope is to get their assets acquired by a big defense contractor like MOT, BAE, etc, to supply the niche of north american public sector mobile devices.

Like a Canadian hockey team Blackberry insists they invented the game, but every time they get to the playoffs they choke because they're just so overwhelmed at being invited.

Any interesting engineering they might have done in the past is dwarfed by their farcical inability to turn it into something people actually wanted.

It's just all so....canadian.
In many countries the warranty period isn't binding - the product is entitled to repair as for as long as the 'expected lifetime' of the product.

For a luxury car like a Model S, you'd be well within that period still, especially given that they're being described as 'premature failures'.

> The safety regulator is examining the Model S suspension — the springs, joints and other components that connect a car to its wheels — for possible defects that could be causing premature failures.

Also, the last thing Tesla need at the moment is cars failing just outside the warranty period and then not repairing them - as noted, it just highlights their lack of support network and lack of general repairability at the moment.

Personally, for some issues I feel it's important to be sure that we know what we are talking about.

Speculation can lead to widespread misunderstandings. That's no big deal when talking about the latest Chrome update, but it is for serious issues. And consider that in this case and in many others, so many people have suffered based on misunderstandings (sometimes deliberate ones) and people spreading them. For me, it makes a few hairs stand on end!

I went to a bootcamp, I have a pretty varied but useful skillset in growth hacking, front & back end dev, the tech industry & tech trends, software & frameworks ect. I'm unemployed, however I attribute this moreso to moving from LA to a tiny east coast town, ect. I am just being transparent about my bg to give context. Also, I have had freelance & worked at a startup, ect. I finished General assembly ~2 years ago.

I agree with the author but the issue is that it is both very difficult to measure, track and maintain data and it varies wildly. Consider it almost like a vc portfolio. some years, everyone applying to bootcamps will get a job because of timing & numbers ect. However, more bootcamps spring up, and pre existing ones do more cohorts. All of a sudden, there aren't any "hot companies" to invest in(to carry on the vc analogy). You have to keep putting that fund to work though so the pool becomes diluted.

Another issue is accounting for massive disparity within schools & within the wider ecosystem. Some people in my class were very talented & had a lot of peripheral experience. Some codecamps are not selective. I taught myself html/css/js a bit of rails and jquery ect BEFORE, i ecen applied. I laugh at even typing that now as it is trivial, but some students had never even looked at web inspector. not only does that change demographics, but 1-2 students can kill productivity here.

This is why unoversities evolved into what they are. Some schools carve out a niche as elite and their rep allows them to be selective. sone don't, because 10s of $1000s per applicant is crazy to just add 1.

everyone knows this so i wont beleagure the obvious anymore, however, the last bit is tracking. I have a job interview tomorrow, and have been working on my own startup ect. I am financially unsuccessful and sonewhat professionally so. However, I consider it a success in that I can hacn out projects and build shit and as long as I can eat, I love it. Other people got jobs for 2 months right out of bootcamp, were terrible and got fired. Schools with "great" numbers have no idea how they actually look outside of that snapshot. its tech. and its a first job. people have freelance gigs and then go to 1-3 conpanies within a year or so.

tl/dr

transparency is inportant and I am for it 100%. However, if you cant/wont be, then be selective and protect your brand and rep. Being a long term institution that is selective & well known will help you retain teaching talent, attract top applicants and be worth way more than the short term $$$.

Do you find that every student wants to be a full time developer though? What if the student were fully capable of finding a job as a developer but that's not what they wanted to do? Or maybe they were just open to many possibilities. Seems like just have a simple statistic like % of students that became devs would be 1. misleading and 2. acting against the bootcamp's own interests.
From what I recall, they acquire IP when its from companies in this situation. I'm not a betting person, but I would not be surprised if this situation was a good opportunity for RPX's PR.
You made the claims before, but can you back them up? The fact that somewhere on Reddit, YouTube, Twitter and Facebook you can find it happening isn't data or evidence, or even a meaningful anecdote. You can find anything and everything expressed in those massive forums.
Awesome, I live in NYC too so maybe I can go check their sets.
Slightly OT, but I hate it when an article on someone's death shows a fairly recent photo of them healthy and charismatic. It always brings the eventuality of the end of life so close to home. That someone can go from healthy and happy to dead in a few short years is unnerving.

RIP.
I'm not making a point for anyone, I'm asking a question (and please, stop it with "the PC crowd". It's simply a way of dismissing criticism).

I get he didn't mean the rich 1% are being rounded up and gassed, I'm not that literal. This is not an emotional reaction. What I'm asking is in which context does the comparison make sense? Forget about the holocaust... in what sense is persecution of a powerless class comparable to being angry at the rich and powerful? In what sense is criticism of the marginalized comparable to criticism of the entitled?

If the only ground for comparison is "well, they were both about people being angry at other people" I'd say the comparison is so weak as to be stupid. People were right to find it offensive.

I think what you hear is people trying out ideas to see if they are any good, then building them up if they are. "Obvious" ideas like Tinder are often the result of years of work. You can't do it in a vacuum.

We went through this at my previous company, which we sold to a large Silicon Valley software outfit. Even though we had an existing business and could sell product to customers it still took about a year to build a solid presentation to help sell the company itself. At the end we could explain the company value proposition in a few sentences, but that was after talking to numerous insiders as well as a bunch of prospects. It took a lot of practice as well as feedback from many people to get the story right.
That's not universal. When a company screws up, an individual rarely goes down for it. The impact of the crime is often absorbed by many people (or no one).

What is "the PC movement"? "PC" usually has some connotation of sensitivity to racial/gender/ethnic/cultural issues, but I have trouble seeing how that applies to the criticism of Perkins' remarks. Indeed, I would have thought that the kind of people who use the term "political correctness" in earnest would identify spurious claims of oppression as an example of the concept.

It's often the case that some work needs to be done outside of the request/response lifecycle, eg external api calls, data aggregation, sending notifications etc. Most of it is essentially IO bound. We happen to have lots of such tasks and therefore use celery, but there's only so much celery can do, given it's concurrency level is bound by the number of cores available since it uses multiprocessing. An actor based approach or sth like Go's goroutines would be a better fit.
>Free software won. Yay!

Sorry, but it didn't. Not the way we wanted it to, back in 1999.

It just won companies who use it on their servers or as a lower level component of their value added offerings (from Android phones and iOS -Mach, BSD etc-, to set top boxes).

And the main things those companies care for is that it's free (as in beer) and free (as in "lots of volunteers help improve their software they then wrap and sell as part of their commercial products for free").

But FOOS didn't won the consumers and end users -- those could not care less whether their Android device is based on FOSS Linux or not.

Besides, it's mostly closed/proprietary mobile apps they buy and use on it day in, day out. Plus closed (silo-ed) web services.

I can happily endorse the company's public statements on this subject: personal data will be deleted within the timeframes specified (for obvious technical and that's-a-bad-idea reasons, it's not instant). Part of SRE's function is to arrange for SLAs to be met, including deletion SLAs.

I can't speak much for the power setup since I'm on the networking/infrastructure side, but it's pretty hefty and accounted for with tons of wiggle room. The switch alone is a decent chunk of the power. Back when we were setting it up in winter, it was able to heat a full house while sitting idle :).

For bandwidth, I'll be setting up an http cache server this weekend so that steam downloads (at least) can be retrieved locally as often as possible. The internet we have is 100Mb/s, which I personally think is more than plenty if managed correctly. We'd like the network and its capabilities to pretty much be as open as possible with a noticeable disclaimer that traffic can easily be intercepted and that Bad Stuff won't be tolerated. Ideally, we'd want the network to be as old school LAN-y as possible, which means that we unfortunately have to make some security compromises. We're going to place heavy restrictions on southbound traffic coming in, but northbound is going to be pretty limited. That said, we haven't set it up entirely yet, so we'll probably change a lot as we go.

We haven't really talked about wifi that much, but I've heard more and more that ubiquiti routers are incredible for the price. We'll probably buy two or three decent ones.
