We've been using A2 since RC3, and are approaching a GA of the product. Everyone on the dev team has had a positive impression when using it, but those who knew Angular1 had some "relearning" to do. A final observation - the adoption of Typescript turned out to be less painful and more fulfilling than anyone of us expected!

I guess I'm behind the times in that I still use jQuery. Is it really worthwhile to go through everything described in this article to create a simple filterable table?
I was also a "lifetime" customer and my memories of the terrible treatment, including one of the founders flaming people on the forums for making reasonable requests, mean I will never do business with Joyent again.

I'm looking into react, and I fix things in legacy code, but that's still mostly jquery, or native js. But backend I just get things done.. I much prefer working on teams where there are 'specialists' who do all the frontend and I just give them an API to feed into it.
Excellent! someone in this world has their head screwed on right!

(you're getting downvoted unfairly I think, probably a bit politically incorrect in this neighbourhood).
Most of these places have systems in place to make hardware issues unimpactful, which is why they make the big bucks. But you still have hard limits and issues that can and do arise because it's still reliant on hardware.
Seeking work | Remote or UK

Full-stack developer with 10 years experience working on Ecommerce sites.

I can help with, A/B testing, SEO, payment gateways, analytics, etc.

I have strong experience with PHP/JS/Angular/SQL/Git

But also some experience with, Java/Xamarin/node.js
I think its not just the length but the concept: Every other language has a normal looking version (Rust 1.12 announced! Java 8, etc). They had that with ES3, ES5, ES6, then decided (perhaps for very good reasons) to change to a unique (?) version scheme.
> Strangely, I see so many new developers rushing toward the front-end

"Easiest" area of programming to get a decent job and enter the industry. It's so much easier to find a job in big cities if you know Angular or React. As long as you keep yourself up to date in frameworks and tools you can theoretically stay employed for a long time.

That said, I have heard of plenty of people who had done the above getting burn out or bored after about a decade.
The point is that the bias is linear, and my model is linear, so the model fixes things. The example is synthetic (so we could know what the right answer is and check if we recover it) so of course I put everything in.

In the linked article, I explicitly reference a real world case where the same linear model was used to discover that grades and test scores are biased in favor of blacks: http://ftp.iza.org/dp8733.pdf

In more complicated situations, the bias would need to be amenable to detection by a neural network, an SVM or random forest. The entire purpose of models like this is that lots of hidden patterns are detected.

Even if relevant measurements are unavailable, one can use redundant encoding to fix bias. Delip Rao explains redundant encoding here, for example, though he is more concerned that ML models might learn facts he wants to remain hidden:

HR exists to obtain resources for as little as possible.

It's just business. Hate the game.

In a private capitalist environment, everything exists to maximize return in investment: morality, goodwill, company culture, values, information asymmetry.

Take the emotions out of it. Everything is quantifiable.
That's actually probably a good idea, I will add that, thanks.

EDIT: Added!
I'm not sure, but perhaps the parent poster's idea was that if you have secrets that would be released if you die, you might give people who want to know those secrets an incentive to kill you.

"oftentimes done nightly, when server load is low" what does this mean? Unless you are running a highly localized website, websites don't have a nighttime. We see pretty much constant usage 24/7 (though a bit higher when it is daytime in Asia). This probably would have made more sense thousands of years ago when the world was flat and the sky barge would pull the sun over the horizon into the underworld to travel back to the other side during the night, but nowadays? Not so much.
Slightly shooting from the hip here (as I'm still learning).

Low-ish volume- design your system such that data flows [at the relevant crucial points] through a single actor to ensure proper concurrency.

High volume- trickier but I think same idea in principle. First thought that comes to mind here is the new GenStage stuff in Elixir.
Hilarious article, but seriously, can somebody tell me where I should begin learning all of this stuff?

What are the 2 or 3 top-priority things I should get started with, if I have experience with Django/HTML/JQuery, and want to expand into more advanced frontend programming?
> But if your model is sufficiently expressive you don't need to explicitly build or model the corruption process

This is the claim that I am having trouble with.

Say I have two random variable X,Y with some joint distribution. If a corruption process can mess with the samples drawn from it, I cannot see how it could possibly recover either the joint or the conditional.

Are you saying that the corruption is benign like missing at random or missing completely at random ? Then its much more believable.
ES6 refers to ECMAScript version 6, which was the official name of the latest version up until around December 2014. I believe ECMAScript 2015 was coined by Dominic Denicola to put additional pressure on TC39 to publish that year.

Browsing through their changelog page, it seems development is very active indeed!

I never would have guessed - even though nmap is a go-to piece of software I've come to lean on here and again.
Fair enough. I've hit a sweet spot now in having done Ruby for ~8 years, so I can get away with saying, "having someone else deal with the front end. I just want to talk about data".

The new problems I'm working to learn to solve are with ML, NLP, etc. I'd like to step away from web services completely soon, and just live completely with data.
The app is written in Django, probably all the way from 0.96. I rewrote it at some point, but I must have forgotten to add the CSRF middleware on an upgrade.

Analytical Flavor Systems | Manhattan - NYC | Full-Time | Onsite | http://www.Gastrograph.com/

Position: Full-Stack Engineer, Application Engineer, DevOps, Data Scientist, Sales (inside or field)

Application & Data Stack: Golang, Javascript, Docker, Streaming Infrastructure, R, TensorFlow, MySQL, AWS

Team: we're a diverse 6 person company (across Data, Engineering, Chemistry, and Biz)

Analytical Flavor Systems uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to build tools for the food & beverage industry. Our Quality, Process, and Market Intelligence services create real-time predictive decisions metrics at each stage of a products life-cycle. We leverage our predictive models across products & industries for flavor profile optimization, production process optimization, demographic targeting & cognitive marketing - helping companies create and sell the best product to their highest value consumers with every batch.

Our Services

_Quality Intelligence_: Real-time predictive quality control, assurance, and improvement from human sensory data.

_Process Intelligence_: Real-time predictive process control and optimization from human sensory data + manufacturing & LIMS data.

_Market Intelligence_: Linking flavor-profile, demographics, and sales data to find the highest value consumer demographics for a product's flavor-profile.

The Position(s)

_Engineering_: Web-application or Streaming Infrastructure focused full-stack engineer capable of integrating the data pipeline and outputs of machine learning models into an easy to use management platform.

_Data Science_: Data science is central to our predictive Quality, Process, and Market Intelligence services. We didn’t build a data science team to optimize our product's marketing spend, sales funnel, or client retention – we built a data science team to build our product. We need data scientists who can understand our clients and can take a nebulous business goal, create a set of quantitative decision metrics, and build predictive models to optimize those metrics.

The extensive role of data scientists at Analytical Flavor Systems allows us to invest in their education across sensory perception (standard sensory science so they know what we’re improving and replacing), tasting experiences (so they appreciate the products we work on and understand how the data is collected), production knowledge (test batches in our R&D brewery and roastery so they understand the data they work with and how our predictions impact a client’s process), and data science tear-downs (a meeting where the team collaboratively attempts to find and fix problems, try new techniques, and debate the philosophical implications of a model's construction).

_Sales_: We prefer the thoughtful relationship builder to the cowboy negotiator. Most of our contracts are multi-year high-price affairs, so relationships are really important. Plus, you get to spend your time at breweries, distilleries and roasteries (I've personally never been to a sales meeting where beer or coffee wasn't served freshly brewed).

Next Steps

Please submit something awesome to JasonCEO@Gastrograph.com to apply.

I go back to the HP LaserJet. As someone noted, quality has been on a constant downward spiral. This is particularly true when it comes to firmware/software.

HP printer software has ranged from annoying to down-right stupid. And their firmware, at least the visible portions of it, nonsensical.

For example, every single HP ink-jet I've owned refuses to print with black ink if any of the color cartridges are empty. My current HP is supposed to revert to black-and-white only if you run out of color ink but I'll be damned if I know how to make that work. And, of course, this always happens when someone is in a hurry to print. I ought to be able to print down to the last drop of ink, regardless of color. The user ought to have ultimate control of this, not the printer.
I couldn't get through the entire thing. Even knowing that it's a fun/sarcastic piece of writing, the portrayed pain is all too real, as someone just starting to dive into the front-end.

In all honesty, can I still use jQuery for new projects without issues in 2016? Is there a real reason not to?
Years ago... I was a pretty prolific svn user. Coming from svn, I knew that it would fetch changes from the central server (remote in git parlance) and then rebase them with whatever you had in your local tree. This is where git up came from, literally an equivalent of svn up.

>The success of many companies, and probably all of the unicorns, has nothing to do with technology.

Most of the unicorns are founded with engineering talent coming straight from Stanford, MIT, Harvard, UCB, Waterloo etc. you name it.

Making a company successful is as much about economics of scale than raw engineering and of course, both are closely related in this day and age. Engineering shapes what and how your products feels like in real-time (= understand very short code-to-production lifecycle).

It might not be politically correct to say but I am not here to make you feel better. Anyone who has actually been in a team at a company that has exponentially grown will tell you the same: your chances to ever survive that "first wave" of users is directly proportional to your ability to hire the best, which of course is a lot easier when they are your current or former classmates.

That's not to say there aren't companies founded by people not going to the schools mentioned above or that engineering talent is only available at these places. It is obviously not the case.

However, the density of talent at top-schools is absurdly high. And this is a game changer for most early stage companies and even more so for soon-to-be-unicorns.
Making something asynchronous doesn't do anything magical to unblock the client; a long running asynchronous call that's not accessing an external resource will block the client just as much with the only differencing being the scheduler gets freed up just before running the asynchronous code. If you have something long running you need to use a generator yield pattern (process in pieces with ES5). I addressed this in my initial comment.
As I understand it, in many (most?) places voter fraud was already pretty rare. If that's the case, then it's not hard to see how a "solution" to the problem of voter fraud could actually prevent more legitimate votes than illegitimate votes simply by making things slightly more difficult for some or all legitimate voters.
>does the bird care that it's in a cage?

Yes. Because the bird ultimately has no control over the cage, cannot be assured of the motives of those who do, and knows its true freedom is always subject to the whims of the same.
If you want universal background checks then let private sellers use the same system gun shops do. Paying $25-$50 per gun at a gun shop to do a transfer is cost prohibitive.

There is no reason a buyer shouldn't be able to go to the ATF website submit themselves for a BC and get an approval code for a seller to verify. That respects privacy and gets you closer to 100% background checks. No responsible gun owner wants to sell to a felon. Thats why a lot will only do private transactions with CCW permit holders.
Wonderful, thanks for giving it a second (third?) look.

if ALL you are displaying is a table, then you can write a quick little jQuery(or native JS) function to remap the array and re-draw the DOM.

If your fancy little table is part of a large app, or even a simple app, it is much easier to implement the entire app using a framework like Angular. The model view concepts really help to tie things together.

I'm in a weird position where I like JavaScript and Node but dislike frontend (or at least I am disliking it more and more).

With Node, I can get quite far with just a couple of dependencies that install quickly. I don't need transpilation unless I want to use TypeScript or PureScript and I can target any version I want. I find it very fun to mess around with Node and a bunch of little modules.

I am slowly "transferring" back to server-rended pages using Node or Elixir. Probably not good for my employment (even in NYC most JS jobs are frontend), but whatever.

If I was learning JS right now and didn't care about employment I'd just learn Node (which just means learning JS really) and experiment with stuff.

Mine as well. I have two active work projects -- one is React, and one is plain Javascript. The latter is to keep the project extremely lean (mobile form single time use type thing) and I've enjoyed using no libraries in it (yet). So I would have responded positively to both of those questions.
