Being a project manager I have to agree. You seem to do your job best when you act as the assistant of the others, not when you treat them like they are your assistants.

And as funny as it sounds in contrast to the 'Murican Movie Manager, from that kind of attitude even shy people can gain power. When you work for others well being they are more eager to consider your opinion and follow your guidance as well. (That just because of that second quote making it sound like the manager should be the engineers "bXXch", it's not the case)

Being able to compile stuff on CP/M wasn't much help if you wanted to develop MS-DOS applications.

I first used C in 1983 on MS-DOS, I didn't use UNIX until a couple of years later. I bought Turbo Pascal 1.0 when it was released but already had a C compiler at that point.

We did attempt this, eBay would not allow it. I personally bought my own product from the arbitrager on eBay. waited for delivery. then initiated a return. They get a free shipping label from Amazon and email it to me the eBay buyer and charge for it. They charge about $10 shipping for that free label that came from my own store. when I contacted ebay and said "technically" the return is complete as this is where the destination would send it, they said until it has been actually shipped it doesn't count, even though it was coming to me anyway. the ebay seller then hits me with a 20% restock fee, together that arbitrager made off with over $20 from the buyer.

I wont even begin about how they use an Amazon issued credit card to get an additional 3% cash back on the purchase, or that they use an Amazon affiliate link to get another 5 to 8% commission. That is a whole story in itself.
And before Microsoft maybe IBM or DEC.

Exactly what I was thinking - remote server activation of every single feed was just a fuck-up waiting to happen.
Cats are opportunistic feeders: if food is available, they will eat. This was a fine adaptation for cats' EAA, as for wild cats, food was much scarcer and would run away unless stalked and caught!

But leaving more than enough food lying around to be eaten ad libitum is a recipe for a fat cat, as they will not stop when they've had enough.

To answer the spirit of your question: the really interesting thing about deep models is that once you've developed and trained them the forward pass is really easy to deploy. The forward-only version I did here relies on numeric.js[1] for the basic matrix operations (addition/dot-product etc). The really useful and amazing thing about both TensorFlow/Theano is that they can automatically differentiate the model so that training becomes tractable, meaning the actual linear algebra concepts aren't too hard to grasp. Aside from that, you'll need lots of time, a bit of money, and patience: I first started adapting Dracula from a tutorial[2] (although the structure of the model is different) about a year ago, but things didn't really get started until November last year after I'd bought a decent GPU (a GTX 980). Happy to answer any more questions :D

I agree with @dev360. I think it has to do with RavenDB being more common with .NET developers (at least from my experience).
Overseas U.S. military bases are often very much like this, with the dual need to house troops and their families, they often have schools, shopping, and various other services in place.

It's very common for deployed families to come back after 2 or 3 years overseas with almost no knowledge of the local language, area or customs because the comprehensiveness of the "little America" on-post is so complete. You can even buy cars, American breakfast cereal and fast foods and get TV shows and radio all pumped in at almost no cost differential to being in the U.S.

If the bases aren't large enough, they'll often set up an American enclave nearby that extends the services and provides a few neighborhoods for the families to have extended social interactions. When I was touring in Germany, I came across the town of Vilseck, which has a large American base nearby. The town was full of deployed families, and imagine my surprise when I came across an honest to god Soul Food restaurant! After eating German and Italian food for a couple weeks, getting some very traditional American food was a very welcome site.

It is pretty common in imperative compiled languages.

Back when compilers were sold, the professional version always had an assembler in the box.

In MS-DOS even BASIC compilers like Turbo Basic could use inline Assembly.
on a somewhat related note: if you're reading this and you use OpenSSH, you really ought to donate to the OpenBSD project via their foundation. And you should band together with the rest of your technical team(s) who most likely also use OpenSSH, and get management to make a donation in kind.

The relationship between Boost and the C++ standard library might provide a good example (especially in recent years, as there's been sustained focus on expanding stdlib). Boost has a stringent peer review and comment period. Sometimes I think they let in designs that are too clever, but they rarely let in the clunkers that are seen in Python's standard library.

People then gain experience with it and sometimes subtle issues emerge. Those issues can be fixed, either in Boost itself or when libraries move from Boost to stdlib (and sometimes the issues inform language features).

While C++'s standard library is not "batteries included" like Python's, it's been very gratifying to see it expand slowly and surely over the last few years.
tl;dr; If I want to accuse a minority group of killing 500k people, causing droughts, controlling the world , usury and profiteering, or draining blood of christians and using it in religious rituals, that's a claim which requires no evidence at all.

But if I dig up statistics suggesting certain more concrete and less conspiratorial claims are true, suddenly the issues are "complex and multifacted" and I've "cherrypicked".

Well I don't know much about CVs and that sort of hiring. I was mostly concerned about your own possible confusion about who you'd like to be. You still seem to list a lot of "random" technologies rather than just operating on high level concepts. I.e. just saying you know networking rather than "iptables, firewalls..." [0]. I really don't know if that's a good strategy job-application wise or not, no idea.

I was imagining you just finding a way to network with startup people, making some friends and eventually getting a job. Especially since you mention you're willing to do anything [for I assume not so much pay] Applying for jobs is definitely an unlikely path to such an arrangement.

[0] and btw mentioning firewalls and iptables separately in that context is werid unto itself

Strange indeed.

Why are they using a software development process that optimizes for time to market when reliability is critical to their business? The former is somewhat acceptable for a startup in the web but incredibly irresponsible for developing hardware.

It's not like it's impossible to ship software that rarely has major bugs even though there are no consequences to the real world compared with the space shuttle. We've done that during the entire console era until consoles became internet connected devices.

Locally caching the results from the application server would have done the job just fine.
Forgetting all the points already made, when you're going to make this argument for any given group of people who should "just" move (which by the way, how is it every single iteration of this argument involves the word "just"? As if throwing all your crap in a moving van and hitting the highway is just a thing you do some weekend when bored?) why don't you consider doing that yourself for five minutes? You'd almost certainly need a new job (though that's probably why you're moving), you'd never see any of your friends regularly again, you may be moving away from close family which could be good or bad depending, strong probability of losing a significant other, you'd almost certainly need a new bank or at least to change the addresses on all of your accounts, then you'd have to handle mail, any trusted experts in your area such as mechanics, repairmen, etc. you'd need to find new ones which is a hell of a thing to do in a strange town, and on and on and on.

Plus there's always the chance that wherever you're moving TO is just a case of grass being greener across the fence and won't actually help anyway.

THAT is why the word "just" does not belong in that argument at all.
I understand the benefit of creating a pet feeder with Internet connectivity. It allows you to provide a web portal to your customers so they can update their feeder timings or view food reserve quantities while they're in the office or on holiday.

But making it so the pet feeder needs to be connected to dispense food?? That's insane. The internet connectivity should be to upload new timings. But if a connection can't be made, the old timings should continue to be used.

Write failsafes into your models!
Ask HN: Help me see why everyone seems to love TDD?
I've been a developer working for large corporations for the past 4 who are more concerned with "fast" delivery than "correct" delivery. As a result of that, the concept of Unit Testing is somewhat foreign in the environment (I think we have somewhere around 40% test coverage, our unit test suite takes ~40 minutes to run on a dev machine, and new unit tests rarely get written). Unit tests aren't "valuable" to the customer, so they are pushed out in favor of "value" code (features) and the reliance on manual QA testers to catch defects (which doesn't happen).

Imagine you were hired as a consultant to come in here and fix our process. How would you sell TDD to the bosses/managers who only see it as extra work for the same value? I'll admit I'm a little fuzzy on the benefits as well. I'm slightly ashamed to admit that even on my side projects I'm like "I'm totally gonna do TDD you guys!" but that rapidly falls by the wayside.
I love listening to the English butcher (assimilate?) loanwords. Sure, other English-speaking peoples do as well, but the English in particular do it with gusto. Even McDonalds gets 'filet' mostly right.

I started on a help desk, from my experience the management knew which ones were smart enough to do real damage and triggered enough to actually do it.

If I had any advice it would simply be to avoid letting a corporate environment allow you to forget you have real people as employees with feelings. "It's just business" doesn't translate to everyone.
The one place I can think of that this might be useful, is where you already use a remote control and you're doing other things e.g., a geo-fenced trigger to open/close an automatic garage door/automatic gate.

That I could probably use - we have a ~6m wide rolling gate and are considering motorising it, as opening a gate in the rain in Thailand is basically like going diving without a wet-suit.

However, even that would need some decent consideration, and its entirely possible the standard remote system is more fool-proof.
Reminds me of my chemistry professor who spent time teaching in Japan. He didn't carry a brolly, much to the surprise of local residents, who would ask him "what do you do when it rains?". Answer: "i get wet".
So let's say Amazon comes up with an IoT operating system. Then the question is: do you want a cat feeder/ home security system/ teleporter that is made by Amazon, according to their standards of quality and reliability, or one made by a random company you've never heard of? Then it comes down to privacy and who gets to use what data. I.e. Amazon would have a motivation to use your data sparingly (otherwise nobody would use the system). Or it could even be a freemium model, where you pay in exchange for not giving access to your data.

Many questions to sort out.
For that price I would expect build-in battery as a backup for main power supply. This thing does not even work without internet.

To provide anecdata contrary to all the other replies you're getting, yes, our cat does the exact same thing. She's even neutered but she will just eat when she's hungry and she hasn't gotten fat or anything.
In medium wind, the most practical umbrella is the clear plastic dome-shaped kind that you can hold in front of your face but still see through. Maybe there will be a new Jonas Hanway who pioneers men carrying this style of umbrella.

I used to think that men wore whatever was practical and only women were bound by fashion. This may be true of shoes, but this style of umbrella revealed to me that it isn't true in general. Men (including myself) will eschew practicality for our own fashion. I'll keep carrying my impractical black umbrella for now.

On the one hand, if you squint, yes, we all have them in our pockets.

On the other hand, I recall a lot of "personal assistant" predictions in which phones were personal assistants, not just glorified calendars. As in, able to call the other person and do a live negotiation of times over voice, possibly with the other person's assistant. We don't have that yet; that turns out to be harder than we thought. Even the recent trend towards "bots" are still focusing on people interacting with the bots; nobody's brave enough to have the bots reaching out to people other than their customers and interacting with them yet, AFAIK.

US Venture Capital’s Tougher Q2 in Historical Context
I didn't see anyone actually mention sql so I'll just assume your first line is to be interpreted as "sql is the counterexample of why Go's standard library is not as great as it may seem."

>Virtually everyone I've ever spoken to either uses a high level wrapper around the sql library or a no-sql solution.

How does that reflect the quality of the std lib implementation? All the high-level wrappers I've seen still utilize database/sql, they just provide convenience methods on top of the existing functionality. Are people using NoSQL databases because database/sql is so bad or merely because that technology fits their project's requirements?

>That's the definition of 'stdlib is where packages go to die'.

steveklabnik's example of Ruby XML parsing libraries is a better example of this, if only because the std lib implementations are almost completely ignored by all other gems. Go's database/sql is actively used outside of the std lib to great affect, whether in wrappers and ORMs or in implementing other SQL databases (like Postgres).
