Ask HN: [Help] How do I become under performer to a decent developer?
In my last job- which lasted for 2 years (it was also my first job)- I was given "needs improvement" rating. After that, I changed my job.

In my current job (it has been 1 year), my first 6 months have been fairly productive, though I have been alluded to pace up. Last few months have been rather slower productivity wise.

I find it hard to concentrate (though I am technically capable of completing the given task, or to reach the answers/solutions when I don't know them at first) and miss my deadlines. I don't feel much motivated to work (though, I always intend to perform better and be a better developer).

As much I would like to blame my depression for it, I know that isn't the cause. I also feel inferior because of missing my deadlines and lagging behind.

Has this happened to you? Is there a way out- did you become from "bad hire" to "valuable asset" to the company?
First, you can't choose Venezuela because is convenient for you. You have to explain Japan and, even, nowadays the States. In fact, the fed and the CEB are trying to rise inflation without exit. Venezuela is very easy to explain: their economy have almost nothing except oil that they export to get foreign currency for buying all the rest. If the oil price suffer Venezuela suffers.

Second, you say "But what happens when we run out of capacity?" but I could say the opposite, what happens when we have excess capacity? Leaving it alone is good if you are rich, who cares about public spending and unemployment? And who wants even a little of inflation if that means owning less of the pie?

If you accept that inflation can be managed balancing spending and capacity, you are accepting that inflation can be managed. Why are you not willing to accept the risk of inflation but you are willing to risk unused excess capacity, what means slow grow and poor living conditions for a lot of people, and unemployment? It seems to me because an emotional aversion to everything that sounds as government expending.
The reason I wrote my long response was because you said exercise was painful. Sure, if you overdo it, it can be painful to anyone. But it's not supposed to painful. Uncomfortable sure, tiring sometimes yes.

But not painful. Afterward you should feel alert and relaxed. And in reasonable amounts it should feel like it is increasing what you can get done. Usually anyway.

If not, something is wrong. Hopefully something that can be treated.

Good luck to you! Health can be very tricky. In so many ways health and wellness is still in the dark ages. So many incomplete models and misinformation. I've been there and feel bad for anyone else bewildered because they don't fit into mainstream ideas of how their bodies are supposed to work.

If artistic ability has a strong influence on intelligence compared to athleticism, then P(intelligent | artistic) >= P(intelligent | athletic). We know that P(athletic) > P(artistic) from the data.

By Bayes' theorem:

P(intelligent | artistic) = P(artistic | intelligent) * P(intelligent) / P(artistic).

P(intelligent | athletic) = P(athletic | intelligent) * P(intelligent) / P(athletic).

Ignoring P(intelligent) for a sec, we find

P(intelligent | artistic) ~ P(artistic | intelligent) / P(artistic)

P(intelligent | athletic) ~ P(athletic | intelligent) / P(athletic)

If we accept the assumption that artistic ability is a bigger influence, then

P(artistic | intelligent) / P(artistic) > P(athletic | intelligent) / P(athletic)

Because P(athletic) > P(artistic),

P(artistic | intelligent) > P(artistic) * P(athletic | intelligent) / P(athletic)

P(artistic)/P(athletic) must be less than 1, so we get

P(artistic | intelligent) > P(athletic | intelligent)

I'm not really sure where I was headed with this, but it was neat to think about. If anyone spots an error please just correct me.

Is there any worry that someon might perform a DoS attack against a client by replaying a valid packet from the target from different hosts so that the other servers cannot correctly route to the real IP of the target? This is based solely off of the description on the homepage and it might not be possible due to implementation details I'm unaware of.
That reduces, but doesn't eliminate, the amount of information you're leaking. If you pad the data to a multiple of some fixed block size, you'll still learn something across the boundary between two block sizes. An attacker can do a CRIME-style attack that includes a wrong password guess plus some of their own padding, and vary the amount of padding until it is just big enough to take n + 1 blocks instead of n. Then they can vary the password until it goes back to taking n blocks.

Randomizing the padding limit also reduces the leaked data, but doesn't eliminate it: your random numbers come from some distribution, so the attacker just has to repeat each inbound message many times, and do some stats. If a correct password guess gives them, say, 1000 bytes with standard deviation 500, and an incorrect one gives them 1001 with standard deviation 500, they simply need to issue a ton of requests.

(If you're padding the data to a fixed absolute size, period, and you know no message is smaller then that, then sure, please pad the message, but there's also not a whole lot of point in compressing it at all. Leave it uncompressed, and pad that.)
Yep, I actually used Ram Mounts in ambulances and fire trucks and they hold up really well. And those things shake rattle and roll all day long and go over crazy roads we would never want to take our own vehicles. So I am kinda partial to Ram for the lack of failures and solid support for when we needed a little extra help.
Yes, better, but still VERY clearly trying to hide choices in plain sight.

The ONLY choice that looks like a button in the new version is “Upgrade Now”. The other choices use some weird link style that is not even underlined (and yes, people will overlook this).

I learned how to use make by reading OpenBSD's man page for it[1]. It's written extremely well, and is concise yet comprehensive. Of course, it's specific to BSD make, but most of the concepts are portable to GNU make with some caveats. FreeBSD and NetBSD, iirc, both have similarly high-quality manuals for their respective makes, and I've come to favor BSD make in general, using bmake[2] on Linux and Cygwin for my own projects (bmake being a portable, packaged-up version of NetBSD's make).

It's regional. I spent a few months in southern Spain last year. Here's a representative anecdote: Mixed group of fifteen people in their 30's out to a slow lunch on a Sunday. No one looks at their phone for an hour. Then I catch one woman peek at her phone under the table. After a few seconds her friend taps her arm and she puts the phone away for the remainder of the gathering.

My theory: American culture is individualistic and not heavily tradition based. This allows new tech, habits, rituals, and patterns of living to catch on quickly. This is both a good and a bad thing.

It's not the same, but fiscally they're not really in that much of a better place. Too much going to rent, and not enough towards other living expenses, savings, and entertainment.

In either case, when the job is lost, they are both going to run out of money at about the same time.

FWIW, I used to use Notepad++ back around 2005 and it was a piece of crap stability-wise. Frequent crashes, and not-infrequent UI glitches like syntax highlighting just stopping working.

This isn't a reflection on its state now, but I'm trying to make the point that good software takes time. They've had 13 years to clean it up now, and evidently it's gotten a lot better. But that's worth remembering when judging the crap software that's come out in the last couple years.

Linux printing also used to absolutely suck, so much that CUPS was generally synonymous with the hassles you (used to) need to go through to do practical work with a Linux system. Ubuntu has been an absolute godsend in terms of getting a stable, productive Linux desktop working.

Wow Modern C++ is really different from old C++

The main issue comes up with compiler standards compatibility.

In the past with very large C++ projects, we've wanted to move towards newer C++ programming idioms but cross platform compiler compatibility has held us back. More specifically not all of these are on the same page when it comes to standards compatibility to use these features:

- GCC

- MS VCC

- xlC

- Clang

Standards compatibility is one thing, good performance with standards compatibility is another.

So unless you're only targeting a single platform, it'll be a while till everyone has full support for modern C++.

In cases like these, Python, Java, Go or any other VM based language just makes sense unless performance is absolutely paramount.
It would help to "make progress in an intellectual context" if you'd deign to back-up the claim you made, which I now strongly suspect was simply incorrect from the start.

I've done quite a few of these embedded systems with real time constraints and your summary is quite accurate. The good part for me is that once you have things nailed down they (usually, and if not then you're really in for a long night) don't shift and what works will continue to work reliably.

This in contrast to non-real-time systems which tend to just freeze for random periods of time (sometimes seconds or even minutes) without any apparent cause. That's something that really puzzles me about todays software+hardware. In theory it should all be faster than ever but in practice I spend as much or even more time waiting for my computers than I ever did in the past.

Maybe I'm just more impatient but I don't believe that's the reason here.

Real time should be the norm, not the exception, just like encrypted communications should be the norm, not the exception.

Computers should respond without noticeable latency to user input at all times.
It's important to note that the sort of stuff YC Research is doing--and this is doubtless an unpopular opinion--is basically social whimsy by the investing class. It's perhaps interesting work, but it hinges on having somebody with deep pockets and a willingness to ignore good sense^W^W traditional wisdom.

If you are actually serious about doing this sort of thing, don't go to school for economics. Do civil engineering with a focus on urban planning, or study public health policy, or something similer.

Long after the bubble pops and the money dries up for this sort of humblebrag philanthropic advertising, the cities of the world will still need people to plan roads, organize public transportation, and suggest policies to help cities grow.

While this threat is specific to the renting market, I digress to the general housing market,as renting has steadily turned into a very expensive option for most households in the bay.

We were in the market to buy a small home in the bay and were totally out priced from the market despite being a 2 income high tech couple. While most people talk about the hip SF and downtown areas, desirable homes in even more middle of the road places like Fremont and South Bay(Milpitas, Sunnyvale and Santa Clara) are over inflated. In one instance our offer was declined in East Palo Alto / East MPark area even after being over 22% of list price.

While I am not for protectionist ideas, It might be worth considering a cap on the number of foreign 'investors' in residential real estate -unless- they actually live in the home or area. I have seen that a huge section of the current price inflation is driven by overseas investors putting together a safe home for future generations without actually living in the place. This ensures that sufficient stock is available in the real east market.

Also all overseas cash home sales in the bay area above $'X' should be subject to an IRS audit to prevent overseas ill-gotten gains, corruption money or worse drug money being re-invested in US real estate.
Whew, I actually started to build my app on top of the Dropbox API a couple months ago, but switched it up to Google Drive since their API seemed more powerful and up to date.

At the time, API v2 seemed to still be in flux, so I started with V1 since it seemed more "stable". Now it's deprecated and will be turned off? It seems like I can't keep up lately.

Well, the true is that most economic textbooks are wrong about, for instance, how banks and money creation works. This is a fact. If you don't believe me, go to your favourite orthodox textbook and read the relevant chapters and then read this from the Bank of England (that is what MMT have always said):

http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/publications/Documents/quarte...

Nobody is saying that inflation is not real, what MMT is saying is that public deficits are arbitrary. In fact, in a way, what MMT says, precisely, is that inflation is the only limit.

The funny thing is that you are not, I think, disagreeing with me, because your answer is about inflation, not about public debt. We hear politicians and economists talking about the big problem of public debt and the policies they want to implement to solve it, and it doesn't make sense. I hope you keep them to the same standard that you keep the MMT people.
This is called domain adaptation and transfer learning in the literature. There are ways to do that. It is an active area of research. Basically the idea is to run a few real world dogfights (you could conceivably collect a few hundreds), and use methods to adapt the simulation model to the new domain. Solutions involving unsupervised learning (e.g. no dogfight, just collect sensor data from fighters - you could collect thousands of hours this way) are also active areas of research.

It depends on what you value. For instance, I used to have a 1200 sq. ft. 2 bed, 2 bath apartment for $1200 in Pennsylvania. I moved to SF and I have less than 1000 sq. ft. and I pay twice as much in rent.

But, my wife and I enjoy going to concerts. In PA, this meant we had to drive an 1.5 hours to Philly, pay gas, tolls, deal with Philly traffic, pay for parking, then drive 1.5 hours back, and try to stay awake for the ride home. Also meant I couldn't really drink at concerts.

By contrast, I went to a concert at the Fillmore yesterday. 5 minute Uber to get there, dropped off and picked up in front of the venue. Home by 11. Yeah, we're paying $2500 in rent, but we are paying for intangibles like not having to drive home through sketchy areas of Philly in the middle of the night.

At the end of the day we just ask ourselves "are we happier here?". If the answer is "yes" then the rent is what it is, and we just live with it.
