Would pipelining help much when the processing job is CPU bound (all cores maxed out)?

Sorry - what does co-tenant to compute mean?
This is a good opportunity to ask: Can anyone recommend a laptop I could put OpenBSD on and be fully functional for busy workdays (i.e., when I need to spend 100% of the day being a knowledge worker with a reliable tool I don't have to think about, and 0% being a sysadmin trying to get their tool to work)?

On one hand I've seen threads on HN and Reddit saying how OpenBSD works flawlessly, esp. on various Thinkpads. OTOH I read in-depth reports like these, by OpenBSD insiders who know far more than I ever will, and even their results seem insufficient:

* https://gist.github.com/reyk/80dca43c8bcfa76d2a7ff147ea64d44...

e.g., "The [wlan] connection is sometimes not stable or the firmware shows errors when switching the AP configuration. But stsp@ is actively working on improving it!"

EDIT: For those interested in this topic, I would start with tedunangst's excellent summary from earlier this year. Thank you Ted!:

Interested as well. Email is "nick" at the domain listed in my profile.
Linux ARM binaries require the OS to map a page at the top of the address space that is shared between the kernel and userspace, you would need to check whether OpenBSD ever included this in their Linux emulation.

The support for this isn't in NetBSD either but there has been a request to add it in order to run a Citrix app.
Enigma|http://enigma.io/| New York, NY

The volume of data created by governments and businesses is growing exponentially. Organizations struggle just to store it all, let alone make sense of it. Enigma helps organizations and individuals fuse, organize, and explore data to make smarter decisions.​​ At Enigma, we started from the realization that there is an enormous quantity of hidden knowledge locked away in data silos and obscure formats, just waiting to be released. We are building data discovery and analytics tools that make it simple for organizations to liberate their own private data, and for the wider community to explore and build upon Enigma’s own integrated public data platform. We believe data can reveal tremendous things about the world and that it will continue to transform it in the years and decades to come. After winning TechCrunch Disrupt NYC in '13, we have since grown into a Series B Startup, and we're growing quickly!

Currently hiring Software Engineers, Data Scientists, Designers and more.

Especially pandoras metrics just don't cut the subtleties of "good taste". E.g. listening to something like Bach, with many interprets, there will be just a few that play it to my liking, even though most superficial (every single note) stays the same.

Another problem might be the inability to split a personality. Many engines take the 7 people that behave most like you as a reference, but might compromise when trying to find people that like exactly the genres you like. (if you try to find people that listen to the same set of genres your pool of candidates gets so small, that the similarities within the genres are very few).
Most skilled developers probably. The rest can't figure out why the computer next to theirs can't connect to the test database and after googling a stackoverflow anwser have it listen on 0.0.0.0 forever.
Shameless plug: if you're interested in crowdsourcing, check out my subreddit AskOuija (https://reddit.com/r/AskOuija). It's a platform for linguistic collaboration at the most granular level possible: individual letters. This diffusion of authorship leads to some pretty interesting (and pretty stupid) results. Also it gave me an excuse to write a Reddit bot.
Had similar terrible experiences with Escrow in the acquisition we just did (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12406892). They're the worst.
Robots, Growth, and Inequality
Sorry, but those entrepreneurs attended most prestigious universities in the world at the time. That alone is way up on the top percentile of luck. Those are expensive and exclusive.

Dig deeper and you will find layers upon layers of luck.
Thank you.

So they are paid overtime for this, is that correct?

These exploits rely upon the ports being exposed on localhost. Even if you are not (as you should) using ssh tunneling to the VM, any exposed ports are on a separate IP address, not localhost. However, if one is forwarding ports to the host machine, that's obviously a problem.
This seems to be an extremely glass-half-full view.

The other view is that what would have otherwise been "non-people's" OS contributions now belong to the people. All these "corporate" coders are putting code out in the open. Isn't this better than everybody working on closed-source kernels?

Those that are violating the GPL would have done what instead? License a closed-source kernel? Use a BSD and not contribute back?

Even though corporate Linux may not always co-align with my interests as a user, it seems to align at least as much as any non-corporate dev who's contributing to Linux. I'm only one person, but the GPL projects that don't have full-time or at least paid maintainers seem to align with my interests as a user with the same or less frequency as the ones with a corporate maintainer.

So I'm not sure that corporate/non-corporate is a useful distinction for this.

>They are keenly aware that if Linux takes a hardline GPL approach it will gain the reputation of being unfriendly to corporations. That perception will kill Linux in the long run.

I'm not sure I agree with either of these statements, to be honest. Those corporations that are violating the license aren't contributing back to Linux anyway; so losing them won't kill Linux. And Google or other corporate Linux sponsors are not going to be scared away by having to conform to the GPL.
We make a platform for self-hosting (cloudron.io), so I am always reaching out to people making self-hosted products and curious to know who the customers are.

Best of luck!
are you guys open to intros from orgs? We have a couple institutions we work with in NYC who would love this
The majority of the people are completely lacking in taste the majority of the time.

Also, the majority of people have no musical training; not even a few hours tinkering with a music app to have a vague understanding of what makes a song meaningful; basic stuff like tension and resolution and song structure. This is effectively a random selection of notes within the key, and I bet "no note" will never win the vote, so there will be no interesting rhythmic variation. A simple script would work as well as these 65,000 people.

That said, there probably are interesting (though questionable in their artistic merit) ways to crowd source an artistic work. Focus groups for films and TV shows and such have been happening for a couple decades. There have been interesting surveys of popular harmonies and melodies, which could be applied to scientifically build songs that fit what is popular (and I'm sure it has been done). The uncanny valley is probably where you'd end up in most cases, though; at least for now.

Some interesting work in the area of understanding what crowds like:

Hey Kareemm,

There are a ton of project management tools out there, why buy Codetree? Was there something specific about the business that stood out to you?

I imagine when you buy a business you believe there are things you can do that will increase the value of the business. What are the top things you think you'll be able to do that were not already being done?

Cheers!
Which biases are you talking about? The right-wing bias of the editorial pages or the left-wing bias for the news part of the paper? According to this study, the WSJ's news section is more left-wing than the NYT and other newspapers. See p. 24. http://web.archive.org/web/20061128014117/http://www.polisci...
Makes, sense--thanks for the clarification.

I would like to see the ability to apply a rate to a person on a project and have that flow through to the invoice. I think there needs to be flexibility to edit the rate or write down hours but other than that its really nice.
My point was that you're kind of defining luck as a form of opportunity, which is itself a product of chance. I think maybe you're just describing luck in different terms without altering what is meant by the concept.
I'm a big fan of typing new code. My most recent example was while learning Webpack. You could pick from oodles of pre-existing configuration, but it's meaningless if you just copy and paste it in to your editor.

I normally type something out and then if I can't come up with a moderately reasonable assumption about what it does, then I'll pull up the docs and read about it.
Happy Dogs NYC (happydogsnyc.com) | Django web app developer | PART-TIME 10-20 hours/week | REMOTE OK

Love Django, web development, and dogs?

Happy Dogs NYC, a thriving multi-location dog daycare business in New York City founded by two MIT alums, is looking for a Django developer for new feature development, general code maintenance, and bug-fixing for a Django web app which is the backbone of our operations, including internal workflow, customer relationship management, social media integration, and payment processing. The app has more than 50k lines of code.

You will under the supervision of the original programmer of the website, who is an MIT computer science graduate who was previously a product director at Google, and you will receive a thorough handover on the project from the current programmer (who also happens to be an MIT grad). There will be regular code reviews for code style and quality.

Requirements:
-- Several years of hands-on experience with Django
-- A love of Python
-- Class-based views, multiple inheritance, monkeypatching? -- no problem
-- Skill with Javascript
-- Good taste in programming
-- Postgres and MongoDB experience (including PyMongo)
-- Strong software development practices
-- Experience with unit testing
-- Unix sysops/devops knowledge a plus
-- Experience with celery and Redis a plus
-- Great verbal and written communicator
-- Strong independent problem-solving skills
-- A knack for understanding business requirements
-- Excellent attitude -- enjoyable to work with

Hours are flexible -- likely to around 10 to 20 hours a week. This will be an open-ended gig -- with the intention of working together for at least a year.

The position is suitable for both a seasoned Django programmer and for a more junior programmer looking to build on their existing skills and learn from code reviews. Pay will be commensurate with skill level and experience.

To apply, please email ien@happydogsnyc.com and include a CV and some recent code samples (ideally from a Django project) that demonstrate how you think and write in code, as well as your hourly rate.
I assume this will be nice for stuff like Atom and VS Code, as you could embed the compiler directly into the editor and not have to run it externally.
Someone close to me has been learning to program (self-taught), and this is what I've tried to impress the most, the path to being an intermediate level programmer definitely cuts right through understanding as much as is reasonable about the effects the text you type have.

I think it's also hard for this advice to help certain beginners if they don't know where to stop when they start going for knowledge about what's happening... It's so easy to start looking up keywords and all of a sudden end up being bombarded with terms you understand even less.
Have you considered selling it on CodeCanyon? I've found great self-hosted products there (for instance, MailWizz).
This problem doesn't just apply to localhost, although it's most straightfoward to exploit that way. You could also use this technique to scan the user's LAN or, in a more targeted attack, bypass IP address restrictions on specific servers.

Scripts from the public Internet shouldn't be able to access private or local networks as a matter of policy.

Similarly, in a high-security environment, scripts from a private network shouldn't be able to access the public Internet - to help prevent exfiltration of private data.
NLP/Machine Learning expert | MONK Software | Rome, Italy | Full Time | Onsite or remote

MONK Software is a small but rapidly growing software house in Rome, Italy. We pride ourselves with having a hacker friendly environment like few other companies over here.

We want to start an internal R&D team made of software engineers/developers who love and have experience in natural language processing and/or machine learning. We already have different projects[1] going on which will benefit from these technologies, and we believe that this is just a start.

We already have fully remote team members in Europe and Asia, but for this important project we would prefer to create a core team who can work locally in our office in Rome. We'll also consider remote applicants if the fit is optimal.

If you're interested, feel free to write to hello@monksoftware.it

[1] One project where we want to use NLP & machine learning technologies is http://hashtagify.me/

We also have a chat app used by major customers who would like to add smart chatbot features. Other projects are in the works.
The bold text says financial gain should not be prioritized, but it them proceeds to rationalize why financial demands are required:

"Financial penalties are a legitimate tool to achieve compliance when used judiciously. Logically, if the only penalty for violation is simply compliance with the original rules, bad actors will just wait for an enforcement action before even reading the GPL. That social model for copyleft and its enforcement is untenable and unsustainable. An enforcement system without a financial penalty favors bad actors over good ones, since the latter bear the minimal (but non-trivial) staffing cost of compliant distribution while the former avoid it. Copyright holders (or their designated agent) therefore are reasonable to request compensation for the cost of their time providing the compliance education that accompanies any constructive enforcement action. Nevertheless, pursuing damages to the full extent allowed by copyright law is usually unnecessary, and can in some cases work against the purpose of copyleft."
Pipelining helps with hanging chads, tail latency of work steps. If you have a slow worker (due to, say, data skew), entire job slows down. All other workers are sitting idle, waiting for the one worker to finish their piece. Read [0] to see what Dataflow does, and BigQuery/Dremel do very similar stuff to deal with this issue. BigQuery also doesn't have to wait for ALL workers to finish step 1 before proceeding to step 2.

By co-tenant to compute, I mean that processing nodes themselves handle the shuffle in Spark. This can cause non-obvious bottlenecks. BigQuery handles shuffle outside of the processing nodes [1].

Sequoia’s 2010 fund is up 5.5 times and, unlike other venture funds that are mostly sitting on paper gains

It's very hard to value equity when there are funky things (preferences, participation, etc) in the cap tables. Any given "valuation" is higher for some and lower for others, and in a hard to quantify way. And a "valuation" based on selling 3% of a company is very different than 50%. But... The values are non-zero. And the company needs to provide something that's better than no information to investors in the interim.
Correct. Like developing to a common deployment target, provisioning a development VM with the same toolchain you use to provision production VMs, isolating your VM from the system state of your development machine. I cannot imagine developing any other way.

This makes a lot of sense. I don't think cut/paste makes anything stick in the head (no pun on "paste"). Maybe this is how my old-fart mind works (I go back to the punched-card days) but I've found that my millennial students also learn more by typing. It's a bit like studying ... using a highlighter can be better than just reading, but to really grasp difficult material, it's important to write things down in your own words/equations.
...or they could comply with the license they agreed to in the first place.

You've created a catch 22 here.
Thanks. I'll take another look at chroot jails when I do my next periodic "Install OpenBSD and see if I can use it as a day-to-day work OS" experiment :)
Have you thought about providing this as a SaaS offering? This looks really nice but I get the feeling you're in the middle between two markets. You're not quite in the enterprise space because this is super cheap and you don't seem to offer support contracts (and you're mostly going to get sales by doing demos for companies) and you're certainly not in the single user market (no single person except a developer, MAYBE, would install their own web application just to handle tasking).

In my opinion I would offer SaaS for a low price, say, $5 a month or something so single users can use it and then provide a separate area of business, much like Github Enterprise, where you will meet with companies and charge for the full product as a yearly license with installation and update fees and possibly support contracts.
