If you make a few competing 3-man startups.

One team has 2 devs and an op guy

One team has 3 devs, one of which knows enough ops to ship code

One team has 1 dev, 1 MBA, and 1 QA

One team has 1 MBA, 1 QA, 1 Marketing guy

I pick the 3 dev team, and hope each of them can fill in some of the other roles on the side (ops, marketing, qa).

Not everyone would pick the dev team, but I would.
Yeah forgot about Sun...
I suspect that's intentional. Google seems to prefer Apache-style licensing, as that's what they used with Android. By not relying on the Linux kernel, they get to avoid the whole copyleft kerfuffle.
The blocking (i.e. synchronous) syscalls for IO are doing asynchronous things internally, they just wait for the event to finish before returning. The kernel can even do similar scheduling things to a language runtime, e.g. when a thread does a call to a blocking read on a socket, the thread can be switched out until the socket actually has data, allowing other code to run on that core.

1) "10 years in the tech industry" is not the same as "Moving to the San Francisco Bay Area to establish a career", which you originally said.

2) People rarely get a PhD to maximize earning power, so that's a weak proxy. The career path are also different. I think developers after 20 years are more than PhD researchers to become managers. (There are plenty of exceptions.)

3) Last I looked at the numbers, some years ago, a MS in computer science lead to higher career earnings than a PhD. (That's specific to CS - other fields are different.)

What is the source of your numbers? The best I could find was https://www2.census.gov/library/infographics/pathways/engine... which says that in general lifetime earnings for a software developer with a BS is $3.3M while a MS is worth an additional $200K. The US Census numbers don't appear to take cost-of-living into account.

I couldn't find numbers for people who started a career with 10 years in the Bay Area, nor for PhD graduates of top research universities.

4) "Equivalent" is a very broad term. Had you said "career earnings" I wouldn't have a problem. But a PhD nominally means that someone is able do to independent research. 10 years in industry means, what, that someone is able to be employed in industry? That's more like a MS than a PhD.
A few years ago I wrote a poem loosely based this event.

I know unsolicited poetry from strangers on the internet is almost always awful, but this poem still holds up for me, which is pretty unusual for anything I've ever written.

So I hope you enjoy it, too:

NYOS

You took me in on dusky breath,
tasted me, tasted nothing,
gathered by my easy take
that I was oxygen enough
for idle inspiration.

How swiftly my lack became your
lack; my misgiving, your mistake.
Your eyes flashed a baffled
petition as you fell limp in a
thousand different doorways,

cribs, embraces, fits and fields,
yet I pressed after whatever it was
I thought to find in the lowest
parts of Cameroon, as foolish in
love as a gas trapped in a lake.
OS upgrades, sure, just use two systems with one of the existing async rep solutions between them. You'll need to make the master read-only for a brief period before failover as the slave "catches up" with the master.

Online PG upgrades aren't (until now) possible because the binary log format changes. But pglogical (which underpins BDR) solves this issue: https://2ndquadrant.com/en/resources/pglogical/ Process would be the same as an OS upgrade (brief period of read-only availability required), but you can do it on one machine.

You monster. You fucking monster.

The reality is that ORMs are a huge headache and a chunk of dependency and magic that make some people uncomfortable. Even though I make more mistakes writing the glue code between SQL and my backend than I would with the ORM, I know how every bit of that code works, and I've reduced significantly the magic I have to deal with in order for my code to work (basically, just the database driver since I own everything else).

ORMs are a huge surface to secure, tune, and understand, and I think that it's unfair to tell someone their app sucks just because they refuse to use one.

And there was once a matter of debate whether blacks in the US counted as full human beings.

If there's brain activity and a beating heart, there's really no scientific basis for saying an unborn human isn't a human being.

This goes back to Orwell's essay. We use euphemisms to soften brutal realities. A war monger may say we're simply bombing "savages", and an abortionist may say we're simply culling a "clump of cells."
I have been using a Hackintosh for about a week to test drive OS X before buying a Mac. I don't recommend it, I spent 2 days trying to get it to work on AMD hardware, and in the end the results were poor. Ended up buying a MacBook Air and an Apple keyboard and mouse and a 2TB USB 3 HDD for storage. It's great for me, works flawlessly.
The financial exchanges I know DO use GC.

Startup cost on server side apps is big O of 0. The average JVM for most apps run from maybe 1 hour (continuous deployment shops) to 1 month (slower to release shops). 3 seconds to start the JVM? Does't matter in either of those, don't server traffic until it is done.

Something like builtwith.com(http://builtwith.com).

This reminded me of the story of Builtwith, which started without knowing the commercial potential (http://www.startupdaily.net/2015/09/builtwith-is-perhaps-one...)...i wish you to reach the same results!
SGI brought us so much that we still use today. I use XFS as the default filesystem on all my machines (the AMI's I use in Amazon even use it). I hope HPE finds a good home for the best of the best that still stuck it out at SGI all these years (through the downturn, the Rackable years, and after).

A company I worked at previously bought a bunch of Rackable systems JUST after the SGI acquisition, and we insisted that they include SGI badges with the systems because, in my words, the logo was just way cooler.
The main writer is snarky and not that great, but

a) the comment section goes more in depth

b) it's not the only LanguageLog post/author taking down Orwell, it's just the first that comes up on google

c) as pedantic as the criticisms are, it just so happens that so are Orwell's, so it's about as good as you need to be to criticize this essay.
Another area that's scarily inefficient in transportation:

http://money.cnn.com/2016/01/12/technology/lyft-medical-ride...

"Typically, National Medtrans Network calls livery cab companies to book rides. Cancellations, late cars and fraud are big problems. Sometimes it can take as many as six phone calls to complete one booking. A 2005 analysis found that 3.6 million Americans miss or delay medical appointments every year because of transportation issues."
I'm surrounded by people who speak 'politically'. Rather than making their statements clear and explicit, they structure their words in ways that allow them to conceal the true meaning of what they said. Using verbs to misrepresent meaning makes it tough to have good communication and solid understanding between group members.
48V is the threshold before you're regulated as a high voltage device. That means all sorts of safety standards, larger or less efficient electronic components, risk of injury, etc which translates directly to cost, risk, weight, etc.

Iteration will be slower than Arraylist.

Just like LinkedList (which is even worse), there will be cache misses on jumps to new nodes.

Random access lookup will be (very slightly) slower as you determine which node to look inside.

This is hardly a new datastructure. Just one that's been thought of before and not standardized due to lack of compelling performance differentiation.
In fact, I declined to post the implementation for that reason.

I'm not sure if you read my writeup but I attempted to address that "users only glance at one or two characters" by suggesting the client show the users which characters to compare. It's a little kludgy with a text UI, however.

The idea is that the field of characters is large enough that comparing only a few is fine-- so long as they're selected in a way which isn't predictable to the attacker.
I've never heard of ASCIIDOCTOR before. Thanks for the pointer.
This is not nearly enough evidence to conclude that EMH is invalid. Yes, it's not perfect, but to conclude from this evidence that dividends are not priced into the price of a stock is... well, it's not sound reasoning.
You have a point. There is always that possibility that a particular employment of language politics is just, so to reject all political neologisms risks rejecting the just ones too.

I struggle with the language of women's rights, for instance. I think about Orwell when I hear 'mansplaining' for example. Yet, at the same time I often see challenges that are unique to women.
Hey, I bought zero bitcoin because by the time I looked at it - when the price was still in two digits - I thought the bubble had come and gone and there were rumors of an impending government crackdown. So you did 15k better than I did!
Someone here tried it but we quickly gave up on it.

- It's ugly and borderline impossible to write by hand because it's JSON. To document something complex your JSON objects get 20 layers deep and you don't get any decent commenting.

- Because it's so hard to read, it's useless by itself as a guide to how the JSON should be structured.

- Someone would change the code and always forget to update the schema to match. It only makes sense if you're somehow generating the code from the schema.

You can read a bit more about our infrastructure -> https://www.backblaze.com/blog/vault-cloud-storage-architect... - Right now we essentially "RAID" across multiple racks - so we can lose an entire rack and it wouldn't really affect us too much.

> For instance, getting the Broadcom wifi card that comes with my Dell XPS 13 to work on Fedora has been such a pain in the ass (proprietary driver only) that most people recommend tearing it out and replacing it with an Intel card that has a more Linux-friendly driver.

No, that's actually the fault of Netscape.

Anyways, that video is awful and totally wrong. Node code can be clean, threaded code can be ugly. Both can be fast, but the perf characteristics are different (for OS threads, anyways).
If the software returns this point in such a way where there is no way to tell whether it's saying "this is RIGHT here" from "this is somewhere in this massive area" then that's a huge fail on the UI designer behind it. And again, if the software just doesn't know, then it shouldn't return the point at all. Why would you? It doesn't mean anything and it's not useful.
No Man’s Sky’s biggest thematic problem, explained in four tweets
As a counterpoint, I didn't quite understand the point of the first paragraph, until I read the second. And the second paragraph, while less poetic, is clearer in meaning in that it makes a concrete statement that can be evaluated, which in this case is good because it's clearly wrong. Success or failure in competitive activities exhibits a strong correlation with innate ability, otherwise what would innate ability even mean? I don't see how I could make an argument like that on the first paragraph; it's too waffly and vague and grand.
The theory is that building something and turning it into a company are wildly divergent things.

Yes, someone could copy your idea and implementation.

But are they going to dedicate themselves to this full time for a year like it took you before you reached a poverty level income? Are they going to cold call 10 people per day for three months? Are they going to learn to write, nurture a following of people and provide content and value to those people in the hopes that <5% convert to customers? Anyone who starts by copying an idea probably doesn't have the same drive to make the idea successful.

The actual trouble isn't that transparency invites competition. The trouble is competition that already exists somehow using the transparency against you. Numbers, to me, don't seem like the type of thing that an outsider could use against you. Effective marketing tactics and growth hacks on the other hand can be gold.

The thing is, there really isn't a market for a huge number of maids when it costs $1000/month, and you can't really go below that because, as you say, $10/hour.. about the minimum wage in many places.

The middle class in USA definitelly can't afford to pay $12k/year (plus taxes!) for such a service. The most highly paid white collar professions would generally scoff at such an expense. At best, the top 1% could afford that, but they don't employ that much maids because there's not so many so rich people.

> I could see a lot of people on HN enjoying rock climbing. Each route you climb is essentially a puzzle to solve.

That must be why I love climbing so much. It requires such focus and determination, and there's an immediate sense of progression that isn't seen with weight-lifting. When I got home from college there wasn't a rock climbing wall near me and I don't live near mountains. So I started climbing concrete structures in the city parks. It eventually turned into a game about movement and finding the fastest route. Then I learned it was already a sport called Parkour.
back-end paradigm shift will be there. Similar to what is happening for the front-end. Servlerless architectures are the hosting & platform part. But someone has to write business logic for the backend. Correct?
Whenever I'm behind a corporate firewall, which is often, I find that a lot of third-party services like Disqus are blocked. At those times I would have preferred the site to host it's own comments.

I didn't put words in your mouth. I explicitly said that was just the only thing I could come up with to fill in the blanks, and I explicitly asked for you to clarify. So again, here's the concrete question. It's a positive question about the world, not a normative question about what you think should happen.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_statement#Positive_st...

Suppose we implement my scheme and people who can't find a job wind up caring for children in return for in-kind benefits. What objectively bad things will happen to the children as a result and why will those things happen?

What I'm trying to disambiguate here is moral/aesthetic preferences ("should not be forced into a salary race to the bottom" because I don't like it) and positive claims about the world ("a basic job will cause children to die of aids after former welfare recipients stab them with dirty needles").
Time is often an underrated element in these discussions, as is the sunk cost of already owning a car if transit can't take you everywhere.

I can get a bus to downtown Pittsburgh a block away from my house, but I'll almost always drive because I can often get downtown in almost half the time (25 minutes vs 45), I can often find free parking, and I can then set my own terms for arrival and departure. Fares are currently $7.50 for a roundtrip, which is over two gallons of gas or a gallon of gas and a cheap parking spot.

Point being, if you already have a car and if you can park cheaply, public transit, as much as I personally like it, becomes a tough value proposition.
You're responding to a much broader claim than anyone here is actually making. The point is not that the passive voice always conceals agency. The point is that people often use the passive voice in order to conceal agency.
Except 0,0 is not in the Arctic, it's a little bit off the coast of Nigeria.

And, the problem with returning Null or 0,0 is that it implies there is no information available. There is still value in having a default location of the country of an IP is known, but the location is not. If you work with MaxMind a lot, you know that 38,-97 is a US IP with unknown location.
I have not looked at how this framework does it, but I have built a nodejs server that does similar things myself.
Some advantages:

- The server can render the full page in html for the client, which means the website is viewable even without js (or before js has loaded, for example on slow network)

- The server can preload all data the client needs. The webapp might need to fetch data from 3 API endpoints. Having a server do this and pass the results to the client on load is much more efficient. If the client (browser) loads it, the following happens: html loaded -> js loaded -> start calling APIs. If the server does it, the client instantly has access to this data.

Rendering all the html can be a bit heavy on a weak server though, but you get the advantage that you quickly notice bottlenecks in your rendering. You can also implement some caching on your server to make it faster.
Broadcom is useful if you want to have a hackintosh partition as well. I run Mint/Win7/Win10/OSX on a single QHD+ ultrabook with 1TB M.2 SSD, no WiFi issues under Mint (I am typing this using it right now).

Simpler general extrapolation - every (macroscopic[0]) physical process radiates information about itself at the speed of light. The information is always "out there", there's no "airgapping" that. The question is, and always was, how expensive and difficult is it to read that information.

[0] - not sure about some quantum ones, but then again, those that do not radiate information aren't exactly very useful
With Java, and any other VM that doesn't specify an exact GC algorithm, it always depends.

IIRC the train algorithm used in some JVMs improves locality. Most GCs use a pointer-bump scheme anyways, leading to pretty good locality for objects that have been created together.

So yes, the JVM _may_ have some pretty cool mechanisms to minimize those. I would be also interested in G1s behavior and whether or not it improves locality somehow.
How does the existence of side effects in other medicines affect the status of psychiatric medicines and their percieved (in)effectiveness or their overprescription status?

You claim I'm 'demonizing' (i.e., being unfair towards) a subset of the medical profession when in fact I'm only relaying my personal experience and skepticism based on that. I don't doubt that there are a whole host of other medicines whose effictiveness is unknown and whose popularity is primarly due to its availability as free samples in doctor's offices and the U.S.'s notoriously effective prescription drug advertisement industry.

But to make that a point in this discussion seems like a misdirection more than an counter-argument. Two things can be bad at the same time independently.

To answer your questions: I dated someone with night terrors from Chantix, have a relative who is addicted to opoids (but who thinks no one knows when he's high at Christmas dinner), but have thankfully never had to deal with the last two.

Even still -- none of those latter series were prescribed to treat disorders discovered after the invention of the drug itself. This is the primary point of skepticism: horrible side effects for well-advertised drugs for disorders we just recently discovered affecting, what was astutely noted by another commentor, the most complex organ of the body.

Many psychiatric medications are an excellent example of 'when you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail.'
As a quick tip, I don't think any modern browsers allow a site to wipe out history from previously visited sites. In this case for example two quick hits to the back button should have worked.

You can click and hold the back button to move backward more than one history instance.
Shaun the Sheep is wonderful sometimes. It is a mix of things kids enjoy as well as references only grown ups will get.

My kids will come and tell me when it shows up in between all the braindead stuff because they know I'll sit together with them. Same goes for Tom&Jerry (eh, the part about me sitting down to watch TV, not the part about hidden references.)

Edit: oh, and I found the Winnie the Pooh audiobook from before Disney bought it and turned it into another educational timewaster. Kids have learned to like it as well.

You know Orwell himself was a fairly radical leftist, at least in his youth? He fought in a Trotskyite group in the Spanish Civil War.

People read Animal Farm's denunciations of the founding of the USSR and confuse his anti-Soviet stance with an anti-socialist stance. He was disillusioned with the behavior of the Russian communists during the Spanish Civil War, which really turned him against them.

(The anti-fascist coalition was broadly anarchist, with a smattering of foreign, communist, socialist and other forces. Despite being <5% of the total coalition, the Russian communist government refused to provide material aid unless their forces were put in charge, which the coalition declined. Since the western governments (Britain, France, US) refused to help at all, the anti-fascist forces had no support, and were overwhelmed by Franco, ushering in decades of fascism in Spain.)
The premise is unfalsifiable, so claims of falsehood are unscientific. Doing this is just as bad as preaching from a book if you care about truth.

It's a shock when you try to switch mental gears from reading something like a HEP paper, talking about 3 sigma like a big "Well, it could be interesting, probably not." Then you read a front-page "study" about something involving nutrition and "Five people tested, effect confirmed!! Everyone eat Goji Berries!!"

It's mindbogglingly bad, non-science.
Interesting, I've never seen that. Can you give an example of such a discussion? What would you share specifically?
