This is how the best placements get made.

If you're an engineer there's a list of requirements that would convince you to switch jobs whether it be for working in a certain industry, with certain proven founders, your comp., certain tech, title a company can offer, remote/flexiblity, benefits, etc. When I meet a candidate and they tell me that list and a few months down the line I come across a job that matches well it's a win-win for both me, the company, and the candidate.

tl;dr recruiting can be a relationship-based game with many moving parts. At a certain point, with a complete and up-to-date dataset, you can provide tons of value for everyone as an information arbitrator.

"preindustrial" being tagged at 1900 seems more than a bit off. Steel boomed in the 1880's (starting in 1850's with Bessemer). I would think a better data set would be to look back to 1850 or better 1800 to be sure to capture a decent number of years that show the "preindustrial" time period.

All that said. It is nice to see the trend over the past 30 years!
Not knowing much about the industry I have 3 guesses:

1) they do but the options are for fame rather than financial gain. E.g. working for small productions hoping to get noticed.

2) No, because actors usually work with agents, and the agents want real money.

3) No, because everyone knows about "Hollywood accounting". ("Yeah the box office numbers are great, but we broke even, sorry!")
I personally think the issue is that we have defined Saturday and Sunday as the weekend. I worked retail, and I loved having Saturday as my "Friday", and Sunday and Monday as my weekend, because services had normal hours on Monday, and I could relax on Sunday. The downside at the time was that my schedule often didn't overlap with that of my friends, such as those who worked as servers in restaurants.

I find three day weekends to be much more relaxing than the standard weekend. It means I can spend time with my friends on one day, do chores on another day, and spend the remaining day relaxing. As long as I still have a day I can spend with my friends, I'd be okay with a different schedule than M-F or M-R.

There is a barrier to a shorter workweek I don't see touched on often, and maybe it's just me. I'm hesitant to work less because I'm afraid that people would find out that I'm just not that necessary around the office, and that the work I do isn't important as I think it is. Realistically, I think such a realization would be more damaging to my personal pride than anything else. I think I base too much of my self-worth on how replaceable I am to my organization. It's a bit ridiculous to seek validation from an organization, but it is one reason why I'd be hesitant to have a day off while other people are working.
Pretty much all of the high end and midrange chipsets support multi-cameras, iirc the 820 supports 3 cameras with up to 25 gpixel @ 30 fps recording.

iPhone didn't had the crown of having the best camera since the iPhone 3G/3Gs and even then you had options that could match the camera.
Tom's Hardware is a pretty poor site when it comes to photography not only for mobile it tends to have the complete conclusion of virtually any other photography related website (e.g. Samsung's low light performance with the S5 which were considerably better than the 5/5S based on virtually every professional photography website out there).

If you only cared about the camera you had plenty of options, however if you cared about the overall package then the iPhone tended to be the better device overall on many occasions.

However if you go for pure photo quality then the problem aren't the 800$ flagships, but are the 200$ phones which most of them can product near or better in some cases quality photos simply because high quality sensors are easily available and are actually affordable today.
A good source for actually mobile camera performance and benchmarks is probably DXO https://www.dxomark.com/Mobiles you should check them out.

You can add Pope Francis to that list too,

"For the rule of law, the death penalty represents a failure, as it obliges the state to kill in the name of justice. … Justice can never be wrought by killing a human being. … With the application of the death penalty, the convict is denied the possibility of to repent or make amends for the harm caused; the possibility of confession, by which a man expresses his inner conversion, and contrition, the gateway to atonement and expiation, to reach an encounter with God's merciful and healing justice. It is furthermore frequently used by totalitarian regimes and groups of fanatics for the extermination of political dissidents, minorities, and any subject labeled as 'dangerous' or who may be perceived as a threat to its power or to the achievement of its ends."

No I meant newspeak. If you name everything in an app with noncommittal things and then use them in different spots to mean different things, you end up with code that has to be memorized to be understood.

As someone more eloquent said, they are so afraid of making a bad decision that they try not to make any at all. Everything is named neutral words like 'context' or 'options', the verbs are neutral too, and there are other code flows that use the same name with different data.

As a general rule, if you would describe a code flow out loud in plain English, and not use any of the nouns or verbs that appear in the code, someone has ruined that piece of code.

There's a difference in saying you have that opinion, and asserting that opinion is objectively true as in the article.

While I disagree with the "anyone" part, I do believe that condemnation of Snowden comes most often from ignorance. The more I learned of the leaks in particular, and Snowden's reasoning on the information, the more I came to view his actions as necessary for a free society.
> But it has had man-centuries of work to get it where it is now; a de novo solution will necessarily need similar levels of work to get to a similar point.

This reasoning falls down in two ways: sometimes changes need to be reverted (and there's no reason to repeat those mistakes) and sometimes changes make further changes harder (and these changes can be done smarter in the new project).
I couldn't find hard resets to my drum unit/fuser. No soft ones too. Here the replacement costs more than I would pay for a new printer.

GC is not a feature in all cases, and without GC you must manually handle allocation and deallocation in some cases, C or C++ let you free of lifetime annotations at the cost of crashes, Swift force you to use counted pointers and Rust force you in a semantic that forbid errors at the cost of some lifetime allocation that you consider ugly. But it is still shorter than copy pasted Go code to simulate generics, and multiple "err, res" that stains the code.

Beating AWS on price is trivial, though. If you can't beat AWS on price, you have no business starting a cloud service.

So it's a question whether they think they need to beat AWS on price or not. AWS pricing certainly makes it very clear that Amazon have no interest or need to compete on price - a lot of the cloud market is extremely price insensitive.

It's a curious effect that seems to be largely down to businesses not used to paying as close attention to the long term opex costs of cloud infrastructure vs capex spend on servers etc.. E.g. I have had clients who paid more just for bandwidth with AWS than their whole infrastructure cost after migrating them elsewhere (AWS bandwidth is easily anywhere from 5x to 50x as expensive as elsewhere depending on location)

>Prove that I'm intellectually lazy.

Snowden has a well-argued moral case for what he did. He demonstrably tried to minimize harm and maximize the positive impact of his disclosures.

You give literally no reason for your condemnation (though in all fairness, your comment is likely to be rhetorical).

More to the point, you will likely argue that he broke laws and cite some unspecified damage to the intelligence community that can neither be qualified nor quantified. Importantly, you will likely do this -- as every condemning voice has -- without offering a cogent rebuttal to Snowden's case. Lastly, and perhaps more importantly, you will fail to address the the clear and present danger of allowing a government to perform dragnet surveillance on its citizens without suspecting them of criminal activity.

If that's not intellectual laziness, then I honestly don't know what is.

If that's not going to be your line of argumentation, then congratulations! You are literally the first person I have encountered who condemns Snowden without being intellectually lazy or dishonest. I'll believe it when I see it.

(I feel compelled to mention, once more, that I mean no disrespect. I think your comment is rhetorical in nature, so I beg of you not to take anything personally.)

You, sir, know what you're talking about. The jury is definitely out on brownfield and so far Amazon doesn't seem interested in that space. Which means there's a helluva lot of market left up for grabs.
Fixed Do sounds awful! I just spent some bit of time reading the wiki on Solfege, as I realized I have a limited view of it. Interestingly, there are additional syllables beyond the 7 I learned! There are also syllables for flattened and raised notes, which is really nice. I have always been bugged by saying "flat three" or "minor three" when singing intervals, and it's hard to make the voice actually make it minor (for me) because of the muscle memory for three being so firmly set.

So, I may have to somewhat rethink my dismissal of the solfege, at least for singing intervals. Unless there's a secret system for singing with intervals by number that accommodates accidentals.

The Apple Goes Mushy Part IV: iOS and Apple's Razor
Honestly, did somebody had to code the Bender [1] illustration manually? The source code [2] does _not_ make me any excited about the library, since it's essentially SVG wrapped in a prettier(?) syntax.

I would love to have a library that can "import" an SVG generated from, say, inkscape or Sketch and then allows to animate just a few parts of that vector -- this would be useful in this context too -- draw Bender, and simply move the eyes from JS.

You're having a hard time keeping a coherent train of thought. In your computer simulation of people, if you're modeling individuals as processes, then another process feels pain when a process it cares about is killed. If you're deliberately killing people in a computer simulation where you know the simulated people are sentient, you are an asshole. Your computer analogy only holds when simulating sentient people; the whole point of computers is that they are capable of arbitrary computation. Since we cannot currently use that arbitrary computation to simulate a person, kill -9 in 2016 isn't analogous.

A lot of people have made comments on the tech. But there's another issue here: trust. How many people are going to be willing to trust Oracle with their data? They don't exactly have the best reputation, and they don't have the best track record either. And what they did to Solaris just makes it worse.

Also, Larry Ellison has a history of overselling whatever Oracle's doing, so I doubt the product will be as good as he says in any case.
A small followup to Jurgen's post. Python's indentation is meaningful so any change to it would mean we changed the program. In that sense, python is not a good target for this tool. Also, as a simple implementation expedient for this version, I assume that '\n' is not significant.
Indeed, the "anyone" was hyperbolic and misguided on my part. It should read "I have yet to see a condemnation of Snowden that was not intellectually lazy or misinformed".

I don't understand the conceptual leap at all from more representatives to smaller bills. Large bills are the result of political negotiation. You want X, I want Y, let's talk... That results in a bill with both X and Y. That's not going to go away with more people involved. In fact, it will probably get worse as everyone wants their own piece of pork in the barrel.

For the scenario you're targeting: databases, this makes a tonne of sense, database data regularly exceeds the size of RAM and the operations you want to do on the data are pretty static in the sense that they're the SQL operators.

In deep learning you are usually doing a lot more custom processing and your datasets are usually not as big, such that just buying more RAM is often cost effective.
Depends on when you lived in Oakland, CA. When I lived there (Lake Merritt and 17th) in 1998/1999, it was a total war zone. Absolutely nobody went out a night, and cars would typically drive through red lights rather than stop.

I visited it recently, and the entire Lake area has become gentrified. Almost like an entirely new city, with lots of people out at night. And I wasn't too worried about being robbed. Of course, I was robbed at gunpoint just a few years ago walking home from work in Redwood City - so it just goes to show it can happen almost anywhere. Except, of course, Singapore. Gotta be the safest city in the world.

Ebook: Music for Geeks and Nerds [pdf]
Probably the correct way to phrase this is Western sheet notation was designed around the diatonic scale. Western art music rarely deviated a lot from diatonic until the late 19th / early 20th century.

Another way would be to say, "most music historically has been built out of 7-note scales", because from my perspective, that would be correct... the vast majority of music systems in the world are either heptatonic or pentatonic. There are obviously exceptions (Gamelan scales for a start -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slendro), but to be honest I can't think of any historical octatonic or higher scales at the moment. I'm sure they exist, but they seem pretty rare (until the late 19th / early 20th century classical era that is).
There were a ton of apps for the original iPhone if you jailbroke. There was no App Store because Apple didn't originally plan on supporting any third-party apps.

Then everybody pitched a fit and Apple hastily threw together an SDK, then released the App Store in iPhone OS 2 the next year.
Prototyping intuitive user interfaces: Q&A with Buffer’s Product Creator
I'm not so sure Octopress belongs on this type of list anymore.

I've been using it for about 4 years now, and I simply haven't had the time to convert it to anything else but plan to as soon as I can.

Over the last couple years I've dealt with countless type error issues, gem incompatibilities, etc. I have one single machine that Octopress generates my site from now, and it's an old Linux install that I refuse to update (because that will break OP). I believe the author tried his best to make what's essentially a clever Jekyll hack work as well as he could. He's tried creating a newer, smarter version but I'm not sure what the current status is. I'm guessing it's going slowly because most he, like most people, don't have time for such a huge project that isn't paying bills. I appreciate the attempt for sure, it worked great at first.

I don't want to sit and complain about a free product but would caution others about investing in it heavily like I did. I spent a considerable amount of time on overhead with this product as it sits. There are much easier (non Ruby!) solutions out there.
About 5.6 is probably right (on full frame).

My point was that you can't really talk about bokeh without considering subject distance relative to effective length. That shouldn't be controversial. You're right that background blur and DOF but even that is an oversimplification (circle of confusion comes in here, "sensor size" is a proxy for this but flawed). This wasn't intended to be misleading, just pointing out that the conversation was too superficial.

It's true (and I didn't deny it) that a phone sensor won't do this for typical portraiture.

It doesn't look like the iPhone 7+ will really do this either, but employ some software tricks and perhaps a rough depth map to do slightly better than a simple filter would. The examples seen so far were hardly compelling.

Fwiw, depth of blur for portraiture and sports photography are usually achieved through different mechanisms anyway, on being focal plane location and the other (mostly) motion relative to that plane.

The "portrait" look that most people actual want is achieved through foreshortening as well as blur, and you aren't going to achieve that with the (typically quite wide) optics on a smart phone. Even the 7+ "tele" is actually a normal, it seems.

That sort of situation has never existed at the national level (except maybe back when only white male property owners voted).
