I'm very interested, would you have a link?
If you do it because you are loyal to the company and you are good at what you do, you MUST be promoted. If, on the other hand, you do it because you need a promotion and all you have to do is to wait, well... I don't have the numbers, I just know that people are human, and many humans seek the best opportunities with the least effort.
The most recent graphics cards (1080/1070) have 3 DP ports, one HDMI, and one DVI. Also, every laptop I own/use/know of has a mini-DP port too, across roughly 4 brands.

HDMI got their foot in the door first, but I think we'll be seeing more DP stuff in the very near future. The only downside of DP is the cables are usually more expensive.
If it runs on Ubuntu it'll run on almost any Linux distribution ;) -- Though, not sure if sse4_2 is enabled on every virtual machine.
Thanks for the answer! Interesting to hear what you're doing now, as it's something I've been eyeing myself. Aside from money, do you find interesting opportunities/problems to look into?

(one recent little example of what made me think of this was the scene in the documentary Spotlight where the journalist analyze volumes of data on priests' assignments and whatnot - all by hand. I couldn't help but think it'd be so much easier to OCR the pages and analyze the data with some basic scripting.)

We are currently subsidizing living in low density areas. The per capita cost of streets, sewer, etc. is much, much higher in the suburbs. We should at least stop the subsidies.
Well, they have benchmarks! Against Vertica! Which is surprising, because I imagine Vertica's EULA forbids that.

Another flaw might be if I wanted to attack nonspamminghost.com I would just need to send out spam in their name with links to their site and let antispam measurements do my dirty work for me.
Who are these people that aren't aware that taxes, shipping, and duties are a thing?

They must be Amazon Prime members.
If Mazda produced the RX Vision, I think many would forgive some loss of reliability. It's gorgeous, though rather close to the F Type.
Are you sure that you actually read what i wrote?
No they can't, they have a requirement to be at work and to perform their assigned duties. If they suck at their duties, well, employer should provide training I suppose. But they have to work of course, no question about that -- this was just about firing not being possible "at will" as it is often the case in the US.

Also, stuff like coming to work drunk is a valid reason for immediate firing.
Keep Your Email Out of the Spam Folder
Hah, I agree. That's why I developed some degree of depression and vowed never to do this kind of thing again. Not that I'm likely to solve some huge problems, but at the very least I don't want to make the world a worse place.

I don't know if your view and interest are in conflict though. Valuable knowledge can come from bad sources, no?
I mean, it does, the marginal utility for each bit of the key just drops off very quickly.
I guess the community will step in and for starters will: add support for other Linux distros, and add comments in English alongside Russian in the source code.

Under the empathy umbrella, I'd add patience. Play the long game. Give people time to come around, catch up. Earn the respect and trust of the people around you.
I had a friend who had a side-gig designing all the packaging for the products for a giant (billion dollar) dollar store. He did it because it paid extremely well, but it frustrated him so much as a designer because every time he'd do something that looked good it would get rejected - he had to intentionally make stuff look cheap and crappy!
Everyone pays the same for infrastructure regardless if you live in a low or high density part of town. However, you require more infrastructure living in the suburbs. Only two other families ever use the piece of street in front of my house. At best a hundred families ever use the small park across the street.

When I had a public transit commute, I rarely read, even though I read a lot in general. Even if I had a seat concentrating on anything was too difficult. I listened to a lot of podcasts, which I still do in my driving commute, and those had the side benefit of drowning out the noise of humanity.

My favorite commutes have been walking commutes, but I haven't had a job where I could do that in years, and I bought a house which isn't within walking distance of any jobs I'd want so that won't happen for the foreseeable future. Unless the walk from my bedroom to my home office counts as a "commute".
It's definitely used that way, but it's not that it's a bad language.

Really it has the PHP problem: lots of new (inexperienced) programmers use it, and so there seems to be a disproportionate amount of their not-very-good code floating around out there. The implication of course is that if you find some random project written in VB.NET, there's a higher-than-average chance[1] that it's not great quality.

For what it's worth, there's actually quite a few features in VB.NET that aren't in C#[2], though honestly not many that are compelling enough to switch. The reverse is actually not true: There's really nothing you can do in C# that you can't do in VB.NET, though in many cases the syntax is slightly more awkward (lambdas, ternary and coalesce operators come to mind). In many cases (plain procedural code) the only difference between the two is semicolons and how you end code blocks (if/for/while/etc).

All that said, these days I'd be surprised if anyone chooses VB.NET over C# for anything new. IMHO C# is still a much nicer language.

That is more likely just a result of the people available to them for drawing/writing those ads, i.e. in non-English communities, rather than a willfully intended effect.

Haven't you seen all the legit Chinese/Japanese/Indian/etc. ads in their home countries with spelling errors and "terrible graphics?" It's even somewhat of a meme [1] especially some of the stuff written on their t-shirts.

You sent me off on a tour of the internet about this topic that I'd never previously heard of and it ended here:

There are no known examples of ring species, which is a pity because it would be really cool.
How is STM like a kick in the teeth? In performance? How? In clarity? How?

Can you give examples of STM being a kick in the teeth versus mutability.
I thought that scientific theories should always be open to criticism.

They should be open to valid criticism, yes. But when their results are constantly under attack with baseless and unverifiable arguments, scientists grow weary and distrustful.

That page has four examples but then goes on to suggest that there is doubt as to whether these are actually examples of ring species.

This is an example of the kind of disingenuous arguments that evolution has to deal with; the page actually lists five examples, of which only two are disputed:

- The Larus gull, which may not fit the definition because there are subspecies that are not part of the ring (not because the existence of the ring itself is disputed).

- The Greenish warbler, which is not disputed.

- The Ensatina salamander, which is disputed. The page on the Ensatina itself suggests that there is interbreeding between all subspecies except for one, which suggests that it may actually be two separate species instead of a ring.

- The song sparrow, which is not disputed.

- The Tithymaloid splurge, which is not disputed.
Interesting. I know that as a crystal, diamond is going to have directional cleaving planes. Intuition says that that would be an issue with shearing loads, but at the same time it can obviously withstand very high pressures. I don't have any mech. background, so I appreciate your better informed viewpoint.
I agree that America has in the past de-emphasized safe pedestrian paths way too much in favor of car culture (the South in particular is pretty bad... Atlanta's not great, but I don't think their walking-unfriendliness compares to Houston or Dallas). I think the culture is changing somewhat though. I think there's a much greater desire for pedestrian friendliness than there used to be.

Of course, any demand for improvements will always be the usual mix of NIMBY, people who think almost any government spending is useless, people who don't like change of any sort, people who fear sidewalks will bring in "undesirables", or people who don't seem to understand what an easement is.

It really depends on the neighborhood culture, though. Personally around here (Tampa Florida) I think I've seen more concerns along the lines of "why can't my child safely walk to school". The statistics probably help shed light on the problem too... Florida cities in general has very high pedestrian fatality rates (due to the issue of being a traditional retirement area + poor pedestrian considerations in road design).
There are lots of assumptions about complex interactions here. I'd say this is more speculation/thought experiment realm than an inductive proof. Not that I disagree with the sentiment in your post per se, just whether or not it actually proves anything.

If you are wondering, the video feed from the barge got cut off during the landing, but it didn't appear that it was very good. Lot of smoke. But I'm no pro. For now, we (the viewers) don't know if the landing was OK or KO.

> Partly it's also because of the transparency of it all.

What's transparent about it? The process is totally opaque -- some executive evaluates whether they feel you're meeting their standards, which may or may not be obvious, and then decides to let you go if they feel you aren't. I don't think it could be any less transparent.

Did the "experimental landing" work this time?
Yes, and more often than you seem to think, "waiting" is a good choice, because it leads to better opportunities in the long term. I don't advocate to stay in the same company forever. I suggest to do exactly the opposite of the flock, i.e. leave when people are coming in, and stay when people are leaving. (That's also a way to make money on the markets, maybe the only way.)
How a College Student Tricked 17k Coders into Running His Sketchy Script
One thing that pops up is that it does not include the context of the other people in the organization and how they work as a whole.

That's to say you may have it where the most efficient organization is made up of non individually optimum components rather than it being comprised of the most optimum individual components.
No telemetry from the landing stage? Or views from the nearby boats (how close is the nearest boat anyway?)
No, it's a thousand times worse than that. They're comparing a city from the 1400's to a tiny piece of a city of the 21st century. It's such a bad comparison, it blows my mind.

No clear word yet. Feed froze as usual and whatever was on the screen was covered in black smoke.

It's not clear. The video feed cut off at landing. There was a lot of smoke, and possibly a standing rocket.
We'll assume these are equivalent kids (being regular kids/paying customers). Awarding one with a better service (to kids this means toys and candy) than the other is absolutely punishing the other.
> All that leads to is "really nice, hard-working people" you would not fire jumping ship at the first sign of a slightly better deal, because why not?

If you combine this behavior with really high compensation for those you keep, you'll likely be the best deal. Most companies' compensation does not match their rhetoric about 'hiring the best' and will balk at the cost to poach from you.

That and the fact that high-performers want to work with other high-performers so they wouldn't risk a crappier work environment without a big raise.
Revealed: first mammal species wiped out by human-induced climate change
It's not that a specific person does a specific things that's bad. It's that cultures have different takes on accepted behaviors. Some behavior that seems more or less ok in culture A, is going to piss people off from culture B. Do you stand on the left or right side of a hallway when talking down it?

At the same time you will find people going against type regularly. Which has a moderating effect. It's hard to think X are bums when you see hard working people from X.

An unfortunate suggestion, given the context. :)

GP and others always mention using C/C++, but what about Rust? Is it viable [enough] for these kind of problems? For high-performance code in game engines etc.?

Edit: Ah I should've searched: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11908849
Well, they (the people at spacex) probably have everything, but I don't have access to this information :) Just watching the webcast, nothing indicated if the landing was ok or not. The people presenting the cast didn't know either.
Benchmark points are meaningless you can have a card which scored 3000 and a card which scores 1500 but both of them won't give you playable framerates in games.

If you are looking for game performances don't bother looking at synthetic benchmarks.
Same goes for compute performance look at real world benchmarks the rest is meaningless.

You should also consider that benchmarks are the most optimized software for all vendors which adds another layer of illusion on top.
You can also increase the priority of your thread/process. Works pretty well. On Windows, you can also mark your thread as being audio related and latency sensitive (Multimedia Class Scheduler Service)

How is their maintenance/durability? My understanding on rotary engines is that in order to maintain compression, they have to have a solid seal on very fast moving surface contact points, which is incredibly hard to do. Naturally, the material that produces the seal is going to wear down over time, and to replace it the entire engine will have to be taken apart.

I love the concept of a Wankel engine, and it would be awesome if they've overcome that particular aspect.
i keep seeing people say that, but i can't find (reputable) seller with price <$3. do you have some links for sellers with that price that you've done business with?
There both about inference, just slightly different philosophical approaches. Statistics, dating before computers and big data, comes out of math, has a greater emphasis on proofs and closed form solutions, and IMO an opinionated view that what it's modeling is a well-behaved function plus a well-behaved error term.

Machine learning is kind of like statistics for street-fighting. It doesn't care about Bayesian v. frequentist philosophical debates, resorts to cheap tricks like regularization, dropout, using many dumb methods that work better than trying to find the smartest method (ensembles and funny tricks like random forest). If it works in a well-designed test, use it.

There is more than one path to enlightenment. One man's 'data mining' is another's reasoned empiricism, letting the data do the talking instead of leaning on ontological preconceptions of how data is supposed to behave.

Machine learning often works well but you don’t always know why. Stats doesn’t always work and you know precisely why not. (because your data doesn't fit the assumptions of OLS etc.)
Same with Lenovo where mini-DP is the standard for Ultrabooks.
It works for Netflix because they appear to pay above average. So the marketplace can accomodate companies that pay less and tolerate more, as well as ones that are super demanding but pay more.

But if the labor market were compressed more like in Europe, all companies could afford that behavior, without having to spend abnomally higher in salaries, and that would be a problem.
Also possible, but Rust's Rc/Arc are RAII'd, so that also shouldn't happen, you don't normally need to manually decref.
Probably not, because that'd be a breach of contract (assuming you're contractually obligated to show up). But being good at what you've been hired to do is usually not a contractual obligation.
If I'd asked you that question, and this was your answer, I'd probably have asked you all about the papers you'd been reading, what kinds of issues you ran into reviewing other people's source code, and the what and why of the projects you were improving. I'm sure I'm not alone in that.
That they fire people rather arbitrarily is being written about in a national publication. So someone applying for a job has a good chance of understanding it going into the process. That's a pretty high degree of transparency about how they do things.
And you can tell that it's a loop because it has an even first number.

I'm glad someone mentioned this. There is interesting history around DVS because the first mainstream product "Final Scratch" used a modified Debian Linux OS (I believe the prototypes were on BeOS). This was in around 2000.

I publish an open source DVS called http://xwax.org/. I had the same goals as you describe; it had to be 100% stable before it did anything else. Hopefully it serves as a reasonable example of some of the advice in the article.

That is not what btilly means. You are talking about using a type system to write an arbitrary program. btilly is talking about using an arbitrary program to specify the typing rules for a set of values. His assertion is correct: if you can use an arbitrary program to determine what the types are in your program, then figuring out the types of your program is undecidable.

Again, this is different from using a type system to write an arbitrary program. But, it is true that type systems which allow you to write arbitrary programs are undecidable. Because it's possible that such programs written in the type system cannot finish, then they cannot be well-typed. Most programs will be okay, and can be verified to be well-typed, but there still exist some that cannot be.

This scam is very old. My father described a version of it to me when I was 12.

In the early 1960s he knew a widow in Germany and she got a letter explaining about her husband's account in Nigeria. Her husband was a former oil exec and she obviously found it convincing.

The key to their scheme then was to get her to come to Nigeria where they would arrange a little drama to get her past customs so she wouldn't have to declare coming back out.

Once she was in illegally they just extorted her by threatening her with jail.

So in this case there are clear reasons

1. They'd ultimately like to get the mark on site as it were

2. Everybody thinks Nigeria is corrupt so they believe dirty money will exist there in large quantities

3. Colonial contempt for Africans traditionally makes older people of a certain attitude susceptible to the idea that they are dealing with less savvy people than themselves.
