But what about situations where you think you understand but you don't?

That's often the point of paraphrasing back what was said. I do this in cases of doubt, and often enough I learn my paraphrase was either incorrect or had the wrong emphasis.

I do it routinely enough that I often learn I was wrong when I had no doubts.

This technique does not seem to annoy people; quite the opposite. I'm sure it can be done badly - pure repetition rather than paraphrase would be senseless.l

Edit: upon further consideration, I think I do this when I notice there are multiple interpretations to a remark, or multiple factors at play (where I might think one is weighted 90%, but it could be 10%). I don't paraphrase things that are unambiguous.
To be clearer, it's not the concept of self driving cars itself that scares me. It's the aggressive timeline that sounds like it was dictated by marketing and strategic goals rather than technical feasibility and engineering estimates.

If you listen to tech CEOs, there's this huge "shortage of software engineers".

There is no shortage of software engineers. What there is, in the eyes of those CEOs, is a shortage of H1-B visas -- i.e., cheap labor from abroad with low mobility. Of course, the alternative is to invest in training citizens and permanent residents, who will then go and get higher-paying jobs elsewhere. So the myth of the software engineer shortage lives on...
Yup. For most use cases, SDN is now good enough that you don't need premium/bespoke hardware solutions, commodity hardware works just as well.

And for the segment of the market where SDN isn't yet good enough (HFT, for instance), there are a lot of players in the field.

See this article that was on HN recently about one of Cisco's competitors, that seems to be making more performant switches than Cisco.

So from my understanding, given how you've commented that it works with Xorg, you're getting the list of everything on the screen that is currently drawing a rectangle. Do you get some false positive issues with things like your window manager. What about if I made the mistake of listening to the wrong kind of music while programming (or playing YouTube in the background) -- thyme wouldn't be able to track those, right?

What mysql lib would you recommend?

I'm doing a `pip install https://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/Connector-Python/mysql-c... on older centos boxes. Because I found `pip install mysql-connector-python` seems to fail on older boxes.

I also wonder if I should not start to look at SQLAlchemy. Not so much the ORM. But rather the simple DBAPI[0] interface.

I'm already using Postgres FDW to integrate PostGIS into our mysql dbs. So I am going to drag a Postgres python lib around in the near future, any recommendations.

PS: I Believe I just convinced myself, to go invest some time into learning SQLAlchemy.

Yes, in about 4 months. Winters in San Jose tend to be pretty mild though.
As someone who made the mistake in working for an international office, and caught the train out almost 10 years ago now, I agree. I escaped one set of layoffs and then kept thinking I'm next.

I was next.

Got fired at end of financial year, along with a couple thousand others. Had a new job before the day was out (another result of said anxiety).
> those who have worked there in the past constantly raved about how little they actually have to work and how empty the office is on Fridays among other aspects that give the impression that much isn't expected from their engineers.

Cisco is a huge place and this varies by person/team/BU. Fridays a lot of people work from home.
>. why would you want to run it on a non-csco/vanilla x86 boxes ?

AWS, for instance, with the CRS1000V. Though, I think that is IOS-XE and Linux based. IIRC, they are moving to IOS-XE/XR which is more Linux based and can be run on COTS boxes.
One of my favorite listeners is the pianist Chick Corea. Sure he can dazzle when the spotlight is on him but the support he provides as an accompanist is also top notch. Interestingly his listening skills as a jazz pianist are evident in his speech. In the same way that he helps his colleagues on the band stand to realize their visions in the moment he also seems to help channel the ideas of the people he talks with. There is an interview he did with John Mayer that I think illustrates this well. IMO Corea is a better listener than Mayer where as Mayer seems to be more involved with his own thoughts.

Idiotic -.- "In fact, much management advice on listening suggests doing these very things – encouraging listeners to remain quiet, nod and “mm-hmm” encouragingly, and then repeat back"
I don't think that's a very good metric. In fact easily coming up with follow up questions that already come to one's mind while listening is a strong indicator for an engaging conversation.

Or did you mean "being busy" as struggling to come up with anything worthwhile to say? Then I'd agree.
You do realise it is completely backwards, right?

It's a bunch of different dumpster fires created by a bunch of committees across a bunch of companies which mostly compete with each other, and as such have no real incentive or motivation to have it all work well together even if they had the ability to, and the ability alone is seriously in question.

Fine, then we agree. But the question you still have not answered is why your opinion of where that line should be drawn in PA should override the opinion of the residents of PA as expressed through their democratically elected local government.

So called biological controll (for example parasitic wasps) is a very powerful way to deal with insect problems, as you point out.

As a side note I am wondering about there only being two parasitic wasp experts in the US, that must have been a long time ago.

My brother in law, who is one of the world's top parasitic wasp experts (based on papers published and scientific awards) has been working with US parasitic wasp experts for decades. He never mentioned this shortage of US scientists in this field.

As an amateur beekeeper, I can tell you that honeybees _are_ wild, in a sense. A captured swarm is just a wild colony with the queen trapped in an excluder box in your hive.

They can't be domesticated, and containing them after they swarm involves tricking the bees into thinking they are the ones making a decision (you can turn their hive 90 degrees after they swarm in summer and they will return in most cases, assuming they've found a new spot for a hive).

Also, mites (and foul brood) are still a pain in the ass and I can see why bees need a beekeeper to even stand a chance.
The confirmation letter was a few years ago so it may have been updated.

The legislation was focused on 'debt' based notifications - e.g. the way the existing laws were written, a paper-based notification was the legally recognised way to notify someone of their debt obligations (i.e. credit card statement)
White box switches are all great in the data center if we are talking about a shitload of layer 2 and TRILL, but somebody still has to manufacture the core routers capable of advanced IP layer 3 features at line rate 400-1000Gbps bus backplane per slot. You're not going to whitebox replace an ASR9010 with 3rd generation line cards.
Seems to me like shipping paper bank statements scales quite well -- linearly in fact!
I know I'm cynical, but from what I've seen, the massive skill shortage is specifically for young, early career software developers willing to work for somewhat subpar wages. A 45 year old embedded systems manager would have a much harder time finding a new job.

I Implemented GPU-Accelerated Digit Recognition with WebGL
$5 billion from Civil Forfeiture vs $4 billion from Burglary.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/11/23/cops-...
Not quite so clear. This is a layoff of 14,000 hardware or low-level networking systems engineers [1], not 14,000 front-end developers, it is not so obvious to me that the current Silicon Valley market is ready to absorb them so easily.

Interesting to think those were the kind of jobs, and CISCO the kind of company, that once gave Silicon Valley its name. Makes you wonder how the market for software engineers, even adaptable always-learning hack-through-the-night-for-fun engineers, might look in 20 or 30 years.

[1] Read "(low-level networking systems) engineers", not "low-level (networking systems engineers )"
The demo uses WebGL, and if you can't get the demo to work, you can
here(https://github.com/Erkaman/regl-cnn) find a recorded gif that shows what it is supposed to look like.

This demo does handwritten digit recognition by evaluating a
Convolutional Neural Network on the GPU with WebGL. The network was
trained in TensorFlow by this script here(https://github.com/Erkaman/regl-cnn/blob/gh-pages/scripts/cr...), and the network was then
reimplemented on the GPU by hand with WebGL. The main purpose of the
demo was to demonstate how our WebGL framework
regl(https://github.com/mikolalysenko/regl) can be used to greatly
simplify GPGPU programming in WebGL. The secondary purpose was to test
whether evaluating Deep Learning networks in WebGL is doable. To our
knowledge(but we may be wrong!), our implementation is the first
implementation ever to attempt GPU accelerating neural networks with
WebGL And we hope that this implementation will provide a foundation
for people who, like us, wish to experiment with Deep Learning and
WebGL The GPU implementation can be found here(https://github.com/Erkaman/regl-cnn/blob/gh-pages/src/gpu.js)

Note that this network will probably be slower than the corresponding
network implemented on the CPU. This is because of the overhead
associated with transferring data to and from the GPU. But in the
future we will attempt implementing more complex networks in the browser,
such as Neural Style(https://arxiv.org/pdf/1508.06576v2.pdf), and then we think that we will see a
significant speedup compared to the CPU.

Lastly, if anyone has any questions, I will be glad to answer them
here.
Parallelism doesn't matter for big-O complexity
> Your comment contains theory and pop psychology popular in the West.

It does contain theory, but it doesn't contain psychology or anything "pop". It's anthropology and evolutionary biology. My views also aren't popular among Western people, except those who like to scientifically pick apart the origins of beloved social traditions. This makes most people uncomfortable.

> many Eastern cultures do not view mating or courtship in the same way

That's nice. Do you actually know anything about "Eastern" views on courtship rituals, or are you just saying that my views aren't mystical enough and you assume that "Eastern" people have some sort of mystical interpretation?

The fact that you're appealing to cultural folklore about dating at all should cause you to re-consider your argument.

Got it. We’re looking into it.
They do prioritize faster sites over slower sites, and they announced it at least a year ago or more, but I think we can all agree that despite Google's announcement, the mobile web is still pretty slow. (Like, average page can take 8s to load.)

Google noticed that the mobile web is still pretty slow, and they also noticed Facebook's Instant Articles initiative. Under Instant Articles, news sites provide a special RSS feed with limited HTML features to Facebook, who caches the results and shares ad revenue with the news site. As a result, viewing participating news sites in Facebook is faster than viewing them in a web browser, e.g. in Google search results.

Google saw this as a strategic threat, and said: "How can we do what Facebook's doing, making news sites provide fast lightweight HTML to Google and our users, but in a more Open way? At least somewhat more open?" AMP was the result.

When you use AMP on your site, a third party (Google--in principle anybody, but in fact just Google for the moment) can verify easily that a site will load quickly, by design. They don't have to launch a browser and run a speed index test; they know, for sure, that the page is going to be pretty fast.

A third party also knows that all AMP pages allow third parties to cache them. (Again, only Google is doing this today, but it could be anybody, e.g. Facebook could present AMP pages from a fast Facebook cache, too.)

Google takes no ad revenue from AMP pages, and supposedly doesn't rank AMP pages higher (except by virtue of the fact that AMP pages tend to be faster and faster pages rank better). AMP pages do also get the lightning-bolt badge in search results, which might encourage users to click on them. And AMP has a github and accepts actual PRs, so AMP is open in that sense, too, except that it's officially governed by Google, so it's not really very open in governance.

Folks here seem to be pretty skeptical of AMP; I think it's a mixed bag. One positive outcome of AMP would be if its HTML components eventually become official elements in a future HTML document, built into browsers. Then AMP would be nothing more than a set of guidelines and a validator; that sounds pretty good to me.

OpenStack is a great example of going "community" before the problem is well understood or there is a solution people trust.

It's basically a tire fire at this point and most of the community participants are market losers.
In my opinion, it's libraries that secretly use threads under the covers (but still access state shared with the rest of the program like the malloc heap) that are what's dangerous.
How so? Most of the OpenStack stewards are as stodgy and corporate...
If you have zero containers running most of the time, AWS Lambda is attractive because it costs $0 when there is no activity, unlike instances that costs all the time even when idling.
I love Debian system.
> You seem happy to throw out causality? but not the faster than light bit.

Nope, going faster than light violates causality. As I have said N times, wormholes do not allow you to go faster than light. I really can't be any clearer on that. What they do is alter the topology of space so that you can create a shorter route between two locations that used to be "far away" in the old topology.
In some things, yes. OpenBSD was always, and remains the industry leader in security innovations.

I don't understand why this library exists. I am (literally) manipulating datetimes for a living in a Django app this whole year and we don't even have Arrow installed.
Pytz and maybe dateutil is all you need.

Also I really hate when someone fragment the energy and their time making a new, inferior library instead of fixing and patching the existings for basic things like this.
This way we will have a bunch of incomplete, inferior libraries which all have quirks instead of only one really good one which could everybody use...
slackpkg itself actually does just wget and install binary packages. You may be thinking of sbopkg or sbotools which grab SlackBuild scripts and source tarballs from slackbuilds.org, builds and installs the resulting packages. They are extremely useful tools every slacker should have, but they're third-party (as is slackbuilds.org) and not officially a part of Slackware.
Low mobility? Immigrants on H1-B can change employers.
guh. Those bugs aren't fun to hunt down. I don't think you really understand the importance of avoiding global or semi-global states until you have to do concurrent stuff, or when you have to start being serious about tests.
I wouldn't write an 'app' that accepts SQL, but I've given out database access to clients who had software developers on-staff. It's a quick way to give access to data, and you can use permissions to restrict them. You'll want to give them their own private database.

I wouldn't give out general access to a database to the wider internet. There are plenty of ways to cause trouble even with read-only access. Transactions and expensive queries are the first ones that come to mind.

The paper bending, sticking a pencil through explanation
is science fiction.

There is nothing science fiction about a curved 2D surface in a 3D space and travelling to a different location on the 2D surface via the 3rd dimension. I can both demonstrate the 'fiction' on my kitchen table and mathematically describe the system, showing that something seems to have moved from A to B faster-than-light.

It's entirely unclear why you believe this would be impossible if our observable 4D universe is curved and embedded in one or more additional spatial dimensions.
This area is prone to severe bikeshedding. Back in 2012, I filed a Python bug, "datetime: add ability to parse RFC 3339 dates and times"[1] RFC 3339 timestamps appear in email, RSS feeds, etc. The datetime library could output them, but not parse them. There are at least seven parsing functions in PyPi for them, and each has some major problem.

There have been steady discussions of this issue for almost four years now. I dropped out years ago, but the arguments go on.

I'd assume the lack of open source is related to the price tag. Not a lot of people can afford one just to play with and release code to open source. My guess they are mostly bought by companies with a specific application in mind.

Are there better places for this kind of thing (I'm basically looking into consulting, freelancing, telecommuting, remote working, etc), and if so, then where specifically?
I dunno--under that definition every concurrent GC is "dangerous".

Django provides django.utils.timezone to make handling dates and times easier. Not every python project has access to django.utils.timezone. pytz is mostly what you need to get timezones right, but there's still room for something like this.
I must disagree with the notion that using Ant and Maven does not introduce a new language to the project. Using Ant does require you to learn a completely new language albeit one which follows the XML conventions. To say it is not new would be like comparing XHTML and XSLT, they are both XML and both are very different. I do not like the Gradle DSL because I find it chaotic and inconsistent, however sprinkling XML tags everywhere does not do much good for readability.
I've closed many a sale by simply just listening.
I won't happen, there was this presentation some time ago that the language design was done and their focus was improving the runtime and tooling.

Hence why I decided to stop arguing about Go's lack of generics and rather advocate it for those that search for a C + GC with improved type safety.

For the rest of us there are better options.
