Decent Java IDEs handle import statements automatically. (And can also organize them for you)

Many people don't like Eclipse but I find the Java-oriented distribution it pretty decent for an IDE. Auto-complete is handled well, and searching through classes/types is also easy. (Knowing the shortcut keys helps)

As for imports, when you start typing a class name that isn't currently imported or in scope, you can use auto-complete to select which one you want. There may be multiple matches from multiple packages if you are searching for a class name of `Result`, so you can select the `org.foo.someframework.Result` and the IDE will add the import statements for you.

In general, I haven't really had much trouble with Java and an IDE, even in large projects with a huge number of dependencies.

I haven't really tried IntelliJ but from the feedback I've heard, it's a great IDE as well.

Thanks for the pointer to GraphFrames. I was unaware that effectively supersedes GraphX.

I had been thinking back to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-3789 and now that I've doubled checked that issue, I see that Python-bindings for GraphX are moot, given GraphFrames.
50% of paid customers in a freemium model looks insanely high. 20% would be huge already.
That's a good question. When Steve came back to Apple through the NeXT acquisition, he didn't come alone. He brought a team of smart devs, and a pretty awesome technology stack (Foundation, AppKit, Objective C).

Now Steve was obviously the lynchpin and you probably couldn't have gotten one without the other, but I wonder hypothetically what the value of those things separated would have been. Steve alone, or team+ip alone. I suspect neither one would have been as valuable as both together.

In other words, curation. For every readers letter that reached the opinion pages, 100s or perhaps even 1000s ended up in the bin at the hands of the editor.

What seems to have happened is a mentality change. Rather than seeing ads as a funding source for journalism, journalism (or a watered down variant) has become the means of pushing ads in peoples faces.
NoRedInk | San Francisco, CA (or REMOTE for Senior, up to 6h difference from Pacific)

Full-Stack Rails Engineer, Back-End / Infrastructure Engineers, Front-End Engineers, Junior Engineers

We’re an ed-tech company on a mission to help all students become strong writers! Our team may be small, but NoRedInk is used by 1 in 3 school districts in the US, and students have answered over 1 billion questions on our platform.

We’re a group of friendly people who listen to and learn from each other. We discuss past mistakes openly so we can adapt our processes to the challenges that come with progress. Puns flow freely across our San Francisco office as well as on Slack, and we have remote engineers spanning six different time zones.

Our engineering team [1] prides itself on code quality and innovation. We use the cutting-edge Elm programming language for all our new front-end code, and have been migrating legacy React code to Elm as well. We started with Ruby on Rails on our backend, and have lately been working to introduce Elixir to our stack. You can read about our experiences with these technologies on our team blog! [2]

In addition to spending work hours open-sourcing useful libraries we develop [3], we also invest financially in open source. We hired the creator of Elm, Evan Czaplicki, to develop Elm full time. [4] Evan discusses his plans for the language with the team every week, periodically pairs with other engineers on Elm, and cracks up members of the sales team with his lunchtime jokes.

We use Amazon AWS for our infrastructure and automate all of our deployments using OpsWorks and Chef. We write a lot of tests, and use Jenkins for continuous integration. Our process for new features begins with our product team and in-house visual designer, continues with a GitHub pull request from a feature branch into master, and ends with our in-house QA specialist trying to break it before it reaches production.

We’re hiring both Senior Engineers who have been around the block many times, as well as Junior Engineers who are just getting started. We’re looking for Junior Engineers who are eager to learn, who thrive on great mentorship, and who want to work on a mission that makes a difference. We’re looking for Senior Engineers who are the type of collaborators that value kindness and open-mindedness, over convincing the group they’re right.

You can learn more about what it’s like working here through Hardy’s on-boarding blog post: http://tech.noredink.com/post/143787279069/on-boarding-as-a-....

Sure, I love Flask but Django has it's own ecosystem and that's what I'm talking about. I know anyone can use cookie-cutter, but I'm talking about trimming Django itself. Externalize Forms, Templates, etc. and build several core starter packages (including current Django). This gives a few base starting points.
Well, you're okay with what's happening to Gawker because you don't like them. Nice double standard.
> The Olympics are truly not about money for the athletes. And indeed, they cannot be.

Once you started allowing pro players into the Olympics, that went out the window (although calling any Olympic athlete an "amateur" is kind of a misnomer ...).

While people didn't like seeing "amateur" US teams lose to "professional" Soviet teams, allowing pro players into the Olympics robs people of the emotional impact of things like "The Miracle on Ice".
How about the US Department of Defense? They seem to love maintaining old tech.

> More and more we live in a culture where people think it's their right to feel offended for anyone saying anything that makes them fell that way to just be shut up by someone (some faculty department for instance).

Um, it is someone's right to feel offended, you can't control how anyone else feels. Now others can determine whether someone taking offense at something is reasonable in the situation, but people have the right to feel whatever they feel.

Now sometimes it becomes problematic when people who feel offended attempt to shut down discourse, that much is true.

> It is becoming basically a Politically Correct culture of censorship and we keep seeing opinion texts (just like this one) that appeal to that censorship like if it was a good thing.
I don't see it as more and more people becoming jerks, I see it as more and more people becoming thin skinned.

Or maybe there are whole groups of people who had to accept unkind behavior in the past in silence, who now are demanding better treatment. Women in the workplace have had to (and still do) put up with all manner of misogynist nonsense and more women and men are saying this is no longer acceptable. To that, some will complain that things are becoming too 'PC' but the fact is that poor behavior that was tolerated in the past is no longer tolerated.

Same deal with race. A few decades ago it was ok to refer to a grown black man as, "boy" in any context. It was okay to disparage other races openly at home, at work, in public, now it largely isn't. Some will cry 'Censorship!' or whatever but the fact is that social norms of decency are relegating those attitudes to history. The people complaining are the ones who refuse to accept that those attitudes belong in the past.
I'm not convinced such a probe can be much smaller than a large global civilization. What makes us think they can be compact? Just magical nano technology?
Selfycart (YC S16) Turns Your Smartphone into a Self-Checkout Machine
I suspect the answer is something along the lines of:

The subject matter and associated demographics of some sites is such that, with appropriate moderation systems and commitment to consistently dealing with bad (or at least the worst) behavior, discussion forums can maintain a reasonable signal to noise ratio. The worst offenders usually get bored and go away after being banned enough times.

But a site that deals primarily with political topics? Even on HN, the level of discourse is far lower than with more fact-based technical topics. And even politically-oriented blogs and sites that I consider to have somewhat readable comments, are far more "raucous" than would be tolerated here.

And as for comments on controversial topics on truly mainstream sites like your local newspaper? That's pretty much a lost cause. There's so little signal to start with.
I used Logo on an Apple in the early 90s. I dont recall what model it was though.
> wouldn't you expect the design to merge

It depends on what we're talking about. I would expect UI design elements to merge where the capabilities of devices are converging. That's not happening from the desktop since Apple is against desktop touch input; if anything the mobile side should be moving closer to desktop, but that's not happening either. I would also expect UI designs to be merging where innovation is concerned, say if they invested in better desktop/window manager UI, but in actuality all that is happening is the backporting of iOS ideas that are all centered on the fullscreen mode.

> I wish they would spend time looking at some of their interface changes and really work extra hard to help non-techies "get" them

In my experience that's not really a pain point. I have seen several of my clients adopt an OS X-only landscape in their offices (mostly non-technical people). I feel Apple is actually making heavy inroads in office and home use, but for many reasons is losing the support of technically-minded people who - at the risk of sounding self-absorbed - are early warning indicators that the base of the platform is withering significantly.
Perhaps, but I doubt it. Very dependent on a very specific environment to reproduce, and can't really spread itself to other star systems without evolving intelligent species and hoping they come up with von Neumann probes themselves.
Because you have zero risk bias. Faster economic development reduces overall risk of mortality more rapidly than lower rates, and there is good theoretical and empirical reason to believe the unadulturated free market maximizes the rate of economic development. This holds true even if risk of starvation is not zero percent in an unadulterated free market.

>It's just an infographic with a basic level of interactivity.

No, it's just a graphic. There's no info, and it's inflammatory.

It tells you what X is by listing all the bad things X has done. That's like telling someone what the US is by saying "The US tried to purge the North American natives in the 19th century."

It doesn't tell me what "the US" actually refers to, and it poisons the well against it. You are no better at implementing a classifier to distinguish "US" for "not US", and now you're armed with entirely negative things about the US.

yeah but... $750M for notes?
Yes. Technical tools can be useful, but technical solutions do not solve social problems. Social problems require social solutions, something technically oriented people who run online communities sometimes seem to just not get.

Thank you for adding that info.
Man, like others here I hope this is satire. But the fact that I'm not sure, that I could see this maybe being real, is pretty scary.
Modern pianos are pretty marvelous things. Think about just the tension the huge number of strings applies to the chassis. Then the force a hand is capable of delivering to the keys, with their delicate linkages connecting them to the hammers. Then think about 19th century furniture-making techniques.
I would assume AWS allows Netflix to be lower cost, more agile, etc., allowing Netflix to deliver a better product for their customers and allowing them to focus on their core value (not servers). In addition, I doubt that Amazon Prime Video services go unfunded if Netflix wasn't an AWS customer. I don't think it's such a simple, two element zero sum concern.
Battery electrodes: Magnetic influence
Yeah, same thought while reading this. I come from a generation where bagging your friends was common and played a large role in building character. Now if you honk at somebody to prevent an accident, you're flipped the bird. Even mild constructive criticism comes across as a massive assault against one's pride.
>What would you actually do?

Well, it's up to the smart peoples working on this to figure out how to take down the cartels and the big time players that are importing guns illegally into the United States and selling them illegally.

So what are you saying? Focus on the small time criminals?

http://mathoverflow.net/a/153106

Because of the list of correct answers for a finite subset of the Halting Problem is finite, the Turing machine you mention does exist, but we not only can't find it, we can't know when we've found it!

Where the Math Overflow post mentions that "experts could compute the particular value of n", there has recently been such a bound published in a thesis, such that we can be confident that we can never construct or recognize the solutions beyond that point (using a particular axiomatization of mathematics).

You referred to the idea that "you can have a Turing machine that solves this", and we can agree on that with the caveat that, above certain problem instance sizes, you can't know or verify in any way that you have such a Turing machine!

If those numbers are freemium for businesses as well then yes it would be far lower. Most likely 10% conversion. He said 'business customers' though which is confusing. To adjust my numbers,

10% of 30,000 = $1,746,000/year
100% of 30,000 = $17,460,000/year

What matters most will be those conversion rates combined with (potential) growth rates.

Note that as a general adage, this is "praise in public and criticize in private" (which doesn't just go for managers/higher ups).

But it's not bullet-proof. When the criticism is private, there is no signal to the rest of the group that the behavior in question is not appropriate. The person being criticized certainly isn't going to say anything. This can lead to the situation where the behavior by one person is stopped, but as a whole it continues due to the fact that there is no social signal to the rest of the group to stop.

So, as with many things, there is no clear cut approach that works all of the time. Knowing when to signal something publicly or privately is a skill like any other.
