If you don't need the speed, Apple sell a USB to ethernet adapter. I think it's only 100 Mb/s.

That could then go in a USB hub, which my Apple display includes.

In most forms of organized gambling, the odds are against you, so the behavior only has negative outcomes. In real life, this is not always the case. Lots of the most successful people you're aware of (CEOs, VCs, actors, musicians, politicians, etc) probably took a series of pretty insane risks at some point in their life. If they had not, they would just be normal people. But they did, and they got a huge payoff. That's why risk taking is wired into many of us.

Maybe, but you have to lean in very close: http://imgur.com/a/ovuhZ This is on AGS-101, probably the best screen (backlit) of old handhelds. Whole screen is a fine grid of pixel units which are visible and negate (interlace with) pixels in pixel art. Also, when things start moving, it becomes a blur - due to both laggy screen and small size of it. I've seen some graphics demos (and games) overlaying grid mesh over art and it looks better, more like original seen here.

Your point stands in theory, but in practice it also doesn't look anything like pixel art on modern screens.

edit: to be clear, I'm mostly talking about the edges on the sprites. That's where it's most visible. It's not as clinical or smudged as on modern monitors / upscales.

I don't think you have to worry... there is a NET outflow of people living in California[1]. Why? My mother always said if you don't have anything nice to say about a group of people, don't say anything at all.

It's a weird situation, because I was working remotely for a tech company and was required to move to the Boulder, CO area recently. It's an awesome company and I was stoked about the area, so I went ahead and did it, but the requirement for collocation that has been driven by certain management ethos' is odd in such a technology driven world.

The advantages I've had by moving from Arkansas to here have been numerous, and mainly this is due to human nature causing companies with enough co-located employees to leave remote workers out of the loop.

The OP is right though: I find the "herd effect" that occurs from a bunch of very similar people especially potent in SF. What's funny is how diverse they think they are based on superficial traits like maybe ethnicity, but the reality is they tend to be very uniform in socio-economic background, age, and education.

Jared Tendler[1] is a poker coach and has a great line that stuck with me, beyond my poker playing. It goes something like this

Visualizing your win is important to help you stay focused on a goal but equality important is not to get carried away with the visualization. If you imagine yourself winning too often, you'll feel like you already achieved that goal and won't be as motivated to follow through. After-all, what's the point in doing the extra work, if you already think you've won?

He's got a lot of other really good insights. If you're a poker player, I highly recommend his audio books which are available on audible.

Typical problem of over tuning. Not every tunable needs to be tweaked (or worse cut'n'pasted somewhere from the internet). Your street cred as a admin does not depend on how many settings you can change. If they had just kept using the defaults everything would have been fine.

That said 250MB is really a lot of code. Their binaries must be gigantic. This by itself likely already causes performance problems because all caches will be thrashing.
I never trust Microsoft benchmarks or studies they paid for.

Why?

Because they've lied so many times that it's impossible for me to trust them. Remember the TCO of Linux versus Windows? They used different machines AND tacked on thousands per individual in training if they used Linux. It was comparing apples and oranges.

Who knows what they came up with to show off Edge here...
Googling up socket 3647, it's hard to see what a person would do with a 7210 because there are no mother boards for sale either. Which makes me think that the people who can get a 7210 are the people who were in the 'focus group' during its development and that availability will probably come in the form of integrated systems from companies specializing in that business rather than in the form of components on NewEgg.

My advice: talk with technical sales at Intel and tell them about your project. Though the best likely result is that Intel points you toward a system vendor.

Good luck.
I don't think that makes a difference. I can take a scalpel to my Redux code without really worrying about how it affects my React code.

This is why I use React + Redux with some Webpack magic -- everything is encapsulated and composable from the ground up.

I wonder if this is due to the licensing costs for putting an HDMI connector on something. IIRC it's $0.15 per port.

Gave this some thought, pretty sure your conjecture is correct about number of users, and you don't want to waste the effort (it will be large). My only suggestion is to weigh the fact that cpython is embeddable, if a bit large, and consider how that would cannabalize uptake of your effort. Whatever you decide, good luck, and have fun with it!
Thanks. That's what I thought as well. Writing a book on a technology without any experience in it probably isn't the best idea. :)

But maybe I can pick up something I find interesting, learn it and create a few projects with it, and then I can write about it.

I'm in my mid 40s and have not had any problems getting interviews and job offers. It might depend on your attitude and your skill set. There might be a time when my age will become a factor but not yet.

I've more than accepted that kids half my age are very talented and I need to prove my worth. Boy there are 26 year olds that I work with that are so mature and intelligent that it makes me worry. But my experience does buy some benefits, namely in how careful I code and being able to spot architectural and code issues well before most of my coworkers.

Meanwhile I'm spending 1-2 hrs every night reading and programming and learning new tech so that I don't fall behind. And it's not easy to do this, believe me but if it keeps me employed then I have to do it.

I hope we never achieve that level of proficiency in psychology (and in a way, we already do -- look at ads, and in-game purchasing strategies).

* The share of GDP generated by America’s 100 biggest companies rose from about 33% in 1994 to 46% in 2013.

* The five largest banks account for 45% of banking assets, up from 25% in 2000.

* About 30% of global foreign direct investment (FDI) flows through tax havens; big companies routinely use “transfer pricing” to pretend that profits generated in one part of the world are in fact made in another.
This topic does bring out a fair amount people who get very upset over something they themselves claim is not worth worrying about.
The article seems to me to hint that exploring inner space is the key here. Perhaps the internet, computer games and other ways of interacting socially without actually coming into contact with each other are a way for us to expand the amount of real estate we have to use and stave off the effects of overcrowding.

I agree that the book is much better than the movie, but I don't think the movie was terrible. I'd argue the movie was "dumbed down" to reach a wider range of ages. I liked the movie when I was 5, I liked the book when I was 11.
Yup! Good production systems shoot for RTF ~ 1.0. This means that they can usually answer almost as soon as the speech is ended, because recognition is streaming.

And it's _really easy_ to increase accuracy by taking more time, by: building bigger DNN acoustic models; exploring a larger search space of hypotheses; using a slower language model (like an RNN) to rescore hypotheses; considering more possible pronunciations; etc....

(ML is usually a space / time / accuracy trade-off, so if you get phat accuracy gains at the cost of significant slow down, I'm usually unimpressed. The deepmind TTS paper _was_ impressive because it went beyond the best we can do, so even though it was 90 minutes to generate 1 second of speech, it's cool because it shows where we can go. TBH all of these switchboard papers don't do a ton of new stuff, they just get more aggressive about system combination and tuning hyperparameters.)
No, it's not. I have no problem with someone making a job site for older folks.

My problem is when that site is accompanied by an attitude of old developers being better. Likewise, I would absolutely object to a job site for black people marketing itself by disparaging white people: "give tech companies your white and naive to burn them out and make them piles of cash."

Thanks. I got into the industry with the expectation that I would launch a startup. Yet, I starting really writing code and decided that I wanted to do something really novel and killed my original real estate domain related ideas. Once you learn to write code you realize how weak your ideas really are. Since I love coding so much, I don't mind improving as a dev because novelty and quality my ideas seem to be improving as well. My experience is unusual but I encourage anyone I met to try it because you never know if software development might change your life's trajectory.

Don't run stuff as root then.
> It takes major dedication just to work that amount in, I have no idea how I'd spin up to do 40 mi/week.

Slowly, and do a little every day. Or at least, that worked for me. I do 3-4 miles a day (longer on weekends) for 25-30 mi/week total. I've worked up to that from zero over 18-24 months.
The thing that taught me the most was writing an application and having to maintain it for 4 years. You see where the pain points are (as you end up revisiting them often), and you have no one to blame but yourself. You learn from your own mistakes.

I also learn from other mistakes as well. I has a habit of inlining conditionals in python -

if False : continue

until I noticed that the same style made reading someone elses code harder. I didn't notice it in my own code as I was more familiar with it. When I did notice I stopped doing that.

Keeping the logic as close to the data as possible helps as well (ideally in the data schema if possible). I think Linus's quote about bad programmers worry about the code, good programmers worry about the data and their relationships is true for most of not all levels of the stack.
Evan has added a dozen collaborators to Vue team. so it is no longer a single developer project.

Yes, the majority of code is still written by Evan, due to speed required. but we know that vue is heading in right direction.
> As simple as possible, as flexible as necessary. That requires knowing the future.

Knowing the future in this case should usually mean that you have requests for a feature from customers, but you don't have time to do it in this version. At least that is something I find useful as a rule of thumb. If that is not the case, you should really think twice before making it flexible rather than simple.
> And no, I'm not expensive. I usually don't get to the point where they ask me for the money.

Same (a bit older now but it started at the same age). I don't care about the salary: it is always more money that I can spend while working, and at the same time I am not going to get from any honest job the kind of money needed to do what I'd like .

The only time I got an interview, the guy wanted me to fill a leader/manager position. I had not applied for it, I had not written I wanted such a position, I had explicitly described the grunt work I wished to to. But that would contradict his mental model: "But... with your age, your experience, we thought you'd be a leader". Well, that's not what I wrote, that's not what interests me, that's not what I am good at. Impossible to pull this idea out of him.

For other applications, I don't know since I get no answer or off-topic answers sent by human robots fresh out of school. So I can just make hypotheses, like too many experiences abroad that doesn't fit the mould of my country, in too varied domains, with studies in different domains, and of course 'why on earth am I not a manager at my age'. I was recognised (at my own surprise) as a top guy in my previous job but I don't get a single chance to (at least try to) demonstrate it again.

So, basically, after only a quarter of the carrier our leaders now expect us to do, we are trashed.
Any need for a growth marketer?
We struggle with this too. There are so many ways the dynamics can change--daily/weekly/seasonal cycles, robots, client caching, etc. One best practice we use for high-volume services is to minimize the variance in call mixtures--if there are two calls with vastly different call patterns, it's probably worth it to split them into separate services, so you can tune throttling, GC, load balancing, etc. specifically for those calls, instead of having to tune them to support both calls (which is often difficult or impossible to do). Of course, it's hard to predict how your service will evolve over time, so making the split is often painful for you and your clients. Some of our services can't be handled by a single load balancer, so we use DNS round robins, which have a whole other class of problems when you have mixed call patterns. Gotta earn your pay...

Some other techniques we use are one-box deployments that receive a proportion of production traffic and "bake" new changes before deploying to the whole fleet, and shadow fleets which let you tune and test against live traffic. We've found that simply replaying production traffic at higher volumes sometimes isn't sufficient, because our calls don't necessarily scale that way (some of them scale with upstream traffic, some of them scale by downstream fleet sizes due to client caching).
I fail to see how contributing to a downvote is "hating to pile on the downvote-fest".

To defend my point a little: I invited them to consider their use of language, not tell them how to live their life.

I can tell you how I came to this view: I read around through philosophy, pop-psychology/self-help, nlp, linguistics, religion and science-fiction; I spoke with feminists; I spoke with trans-folk and their admirers; I looked at my assumptions as a younger person and found them wrong.
