This is cool, and reminds me of the wide, wacky world of Perl one-liners. But with an interesting twist.

I used to use a lot of one-liners, but as time passed and I worked with more different languages, I came to prefer having things "programmized" and available either through BASH functions/aliases, or in my handy "tools" directory.

What I like about Gorram is that it should be trivial to make it turn the one-liner into a standalone utility program.

So: try a one-liner in Gorram and if it's useful, run it again with a flag, say "-s FILE" and it saves the compiled program for you.

I guess that's a feature request. :-)

Also, I really like the "STDIN or file" guessing.
Of course it turned out that NASA's two biggest failures were human/cultural, and which led to the loss of two shuttles. Besides, as you say it's not about prestige, it's about knowledge, and if you're publishing something with basic math errors, it leads to questions about whether you'd know "knowledge" if it bit you.
Wow, never come across this project before; also never used any of the 'workflow dominating' programs they mention (although I've heard of Slack, WordPress and Atom).

Certainly seems to be following a very different approach to the terminal emulator that I use: http://st.suckless.org

I noticed the same thing. I couldn't help but read his response in Trump's voice. "I'm very very smart, believe me. I went to a tremendous school and learned yuge words. No one knows causation better than me let me tell you."
I doubt that these body cameras are very different from dash board cams (except for a need for more battery power) technically. Dashboard cameras are ephemeral in some parts of the world and cheap _and_ a consumer mass market.

Even assuming that it's technically very different: there's ~1 million sworn police officers in the US according to Wikipedia. That quantifies as a mass market for me given the price segment.
What the hell is with those numbers? Is it a joke I don't get?
They should probably have added an @2x version of the image, the text looks super blurry on high dpi displays. I'm surprised apple wouldn't have an automatic build process for generating multiple resolution versions of all images.
> Quite a few times actually. It was not quite obvious at that time how to run Pagerank and other algorithms efficiently at that scale while keeping running costs down. If it was just a library call and delegation away, they wouldnt have had such a meteoric rise.

We're talking about two different things here—the theoretical PageRank and the practical one. My point is that the skills required to scale a thing like PageRank—writing code to parallelize tasks, divvy up traffic, etc.— are very different than the ones involved in inventing PageRank as an algorithm.
Is Apple shilling on HN? I don't see much of a point in posting this.
Where did I say engineers are not or dont need to be fantastic communicators.

All I am saying is that if you are in a hard tech area with problems that has not yet been solved well enough to be monetizable, communication and delegation is not what is going to solve it. Agile, extreme or whatever is 'in' at the moment is not going to do it. It gets solved by ability to reason about technical things. I can for instance communicate the need to cure cancer (bad example sorry) or delegate willy nilly, but sorry thats not going to solve it.
What about the Orthodox?

"The Church" is really an anachronism. You are speaking of the Roman church which is about only half of Christianity at the time: Western Europe.

What about the other half of the Church? Eastern Europe, Russia, Asian, Norther Africa, the Middle East, Greece?

How did they receive Galileo?

I've always been fascinated by this total amnesia over the Orthodox Church as if it didn't exist or was only a few percent.
I also second that book. I think the other possibility that people who are struggling with getting things done is maybe they like the idea of something more than actually doing it. I came to that realization when it came to programming. I discussed with one of my teachers (who also happens to be a life coach) my struggles, and when he suggested maybe I just like the idea of being a programmer more than actually wanting to be one. It definitely got me to think about things. Now I'm just spending more time learning about what I'm good at and focusing on my strengths.
I treat forums as writing prompts. I've written long-form works based on questions, or discussions, or occasionally to debunk items.

This started as a comment in a G+ thread, _including_ the 37 footnotes: https://ello.co/dredmorbius/post/5l_8MqtVwLLvX_DabPjY-g

This got written (along with the research for the numbers) because I'd gotten sufficiently pissed off at zero-information-basis discussions on the topic: https://ello.co/dredmorbius/post/nAya9WqdemIoVuVWVOYQUQ

A re-share of a meme that struck me as slightly too-good-to-be-true inspired this: https://www.reddit.com/r/dredmorbius/comments/39w8u4/jp_morg...

Follow-ups to the Google numbers piece above inspired this: https://www.reddit.com/r/dredmorbius/comments/3hp41w/trackin...

I've also used forums to try out ideas I'm developing, solicit feedback, etc., etc.

Most of my writing is nonfiction and explores topics, or reports on findings based on explorations, usually of literature within one or more fields.

And I've considered shopping a few of these pieces around, though I've not yet done so.
We can always change economic systems with a dial, and turn the dial back when things turn bad.
What numbers?
I think of comments similarly to footnotes and embedded notes in prose writing. If there's something I can explain in the normal flow of writing, I do so.

If I have to refer to some research, a bibliographical reference, some outside documentation about data formats, or some special business rule which impacts the case I make a note. They are for asides, deeper context, and outside references.

Don't use footnotes to explain the paragraph. Use them to explain the context in which the paragraph is to be understood. Likewise, use code comments to explain the context for the code.

Many of my comments are an example record for some legacy data format. I don't write a comment for every line of the parsing routine. I give the example record and the code. Many are also notes about an RFC or standard, down to the paragraph, and where my implementation ignores some obscurity in that or which way I interpret some ambiguity in it. Why that standard was chosen rather than a competing standard, though, is often more suitable for the developer doc / README rather than in the comments themselves.
In what way does any of that support your/Srivastava's assertion?
You can get a less precise version of that by holding your hand over the pan. After a while you get the hang of it.

This! A thousand times this. Investors know that infinite growth in a finite environment is impossible. But, they always seem to expect that their project should be an exception, or at least, it should push everything else aside and take the world for itself. Can't we all just get along?

I think the parent commenter was agreeing with me; I certainly wasn't suggesting the resources are or time spent learning them is a waste.

It's specifically the "future Googler" print-outs, and plethora of usernames and websites that include "Google" that I think could make it a heart-breaking rejection. (Though of course, I wish OP all the best and hope it doesn't come to that!)

Frankly, I can also imagine it being more than a little embarrassing after a successful application.
That sounds concerning, I would really like to know more about what that really means.

There are two aspects to the feature. There's not a setting to disable that one. I've disabled the setting that does exist but the while-you-were-away version of the feature persists.
I'm not sure that it's rude, per-se. But, it would be considered a disclosure of sensitive IP. (Obviously, most corporate codebases deserve to be gutted and rewritten from scratch, but there's some kind of internal valuation.)

For some perspective -- the company I work for was sold for a tidy sum, and part of the negotiation was that the buyers got statistics about the codebase (number of lines of code, which languages certain sections were in). They didn't get to see any of the code before the sale closed. And, a prospective buyer has a lot more to lose & a lot more influence than a prospective employee.

My point was in relation to your comment about these old machines being in use for a decade whereas "That fully loaded Macbook Pro will be outdated before the ink of the advert is properly dried."

I think that software developers and computer enthusiasts back then wanted to upgrade as often as they would now (though I might still argue that even for developers the pace is less today than it was back then). For your "average office worker" or "average home computer user", I'm guessing that their computer will serve them well for longer today with less clear incentive for upgrading.

I mentioned the web browser, word processing and such because those are things that many non-developers commonly do with computers. That 2009 MacBook Pro would likely continue to serve a non-developer just fine and the only reason they might consider upgrading is that Mac OS Sierra doesn't support it.

In short, I think desktop/laptop machine replacement pace started dropping off for most people years ago. In the 80s the performance and storage improvements were way more meaningful than they are for many people than any time recently.
I agree with you wholeheartedly on the documentation, but having a full-featured HTTP ReST API from the beginning has been a powerful driver for ES, imho. Depending on your use case, this may or may not matter. Currently, I use/admin both - ES for logs, Solr for actual full-text document search.
That document seems to describe the ideal of the law. The reality is much different. DA's will side with and protect police, courts will believe police testimony over mine or other citizens. It also, mostly deals with citizens. not off duty police who can appear as citizens but then, after fact, apply/claim their authority as LEO.

Case in point, the man in above article is still being charged even though he was resisting a bogus arrest. Despite that article saying that "won't" happen.

Completely false.

What a lot of people don't seem to realize about Qt Quick (as apposed to using C++/Qt Widgets), is that it's like a game engine. People seem to think its akin to HTML and JS, i.e. 'interpreted' scripting language, but QML is actually more like a game engine language, it loads the assets into high performance GPU and has much better performance characteristics then anything else including the C++ widgets in many cases.

IMO, Google suffers from the curse of Oil in corporate terms. As long as they milk their core product they can do just about anything and look competent. Which allows a horribly dysfunctional leadership to thrive.

It's disabled in settings. They periodically re-enable it, it's a very user-hostile behavior.
Multi-tenancy at scale with RDBMS is just hard to do. Once you get to certain volume, you just have to have different data stores for different needs. Only a subset of business require ACID properties so you would use RDBMS for those and for the rest choose a NoSQL stack that has the least resistance to ramp up WRT team skill set.

You can get away without using NoSQL but you probably would end up spending time and money maintaining several DB clusters, migrations, handling replication lags etc.

Yes, mass consumer devices have economies of scale that exceed VieVU's capabilities. No doubt about that. But that might account for 20% of the cost and at face value given what the article stated, the product seemingly costs many multiples of any reasonable fee.

Also, there should be some sort of economies of scale involved when VieVU is providing tens of thousands of cameras across the country. It's not just the NYPD.

I did some additional research and posted a follow up comment that sheds some light on the breakdown of the cost. It makes it more tolerable but still too expensive in my opinion.

When did populism become a dirty word?

>Decades of declining productivity growth

What decline of productivity is he talking about? The decoupling of productivity from wages is the issue. Productivity has continued to rise while real wages have stagnated. [0]

>In the past, differences in pay between corporate executives and their workers were constrained by a greater degree of social interaction between employees at all levels—at church, at their children’s schools, in civic organisations. That’s why CEOs took home about 20- to 30-times as much as their average worker. The reduction or elimination of this constraining factor is one reason why today’s CEO is now paid over 250-times more.

This is a ridiculous rationalization straight out of little house on the prairie. CEO pay is out of control because our values have shifted? Because we are childless atheist heathens? Seriously? He is clearly ignoring rule shifts in the system[1] that biased us toward this outcome.

>While the top 1% of households now pay more of their fair share

A lot of the myth of the "Dark Ages" has been exaggerated to show how the Reformation "saved" us from them. A lot of this historical revisionism comes from the Enlightenment era.

The Renaissance itself didn't occur ex nihilo in a benighted world of ignorant superstition either; it was a wholly organic evolution of the great learning and development that occurred before it, especially in the 12th and 13th centuries. The period we call the "Dark Ages" were certainly more chaotic than the era of classical antiquity, etc., but by no means did culture and learning stagnate.
At some point I realized Unix is basically a long-running IDE + REPL, and thought that was just so cool. And then I realized how horribly inefficient it is at being that. So I started longing for the days when we had some kind of OS where it actually is a IDE + REPL, like an OS based on Lisp. And then I learned that that already was done and didn't turn out as cool as people had hoped. Oh well.
The email's in the mail. I guess I should have been grateful for what, 2 hours advanced notice. You obviously have little loyalty to your crowd sourced folks. Seems to me a LOT of advanced notice and some extra information to the original crowd sourced folks would have been appropriate.

Another reason why I'm NEVER crowd sourcing again. The very people that should get the MOST consideration (after all we're basically throwing money at a promise) actually get the least consideration (we often are robbed or get a 1/2 ass implementation.
This is a great list of fundamentals for CS.

I admit I have never interviewed at Google. I have interviewed at a number of companies that use the "CS trivia" style interview process. I got some of these jobs and didn't get others.

In the cases where I didn't get the job, I naturally asked why. Despite repeatedly having assured me that they just wanted to know how my brain works and not whether I'd memorized specific concepts, I am usually flat-out told the rejection was because I had implemented some minor detail of algorithm X incorrectly; that my implementation failed in some corner case.

I've also passed and worked at companies which do CS trivia style interviews. When they later interviewed other candidates while I was there, I sometimes observed how the people conducting the interview would first study algorithms and data structures for hours on Wikipedia prior to going in -- because they themselves can't recite any of that without preloading.

Maybe Google works differently; I don't know. At most places, the "CS trivia" style interview seems to primarily serve as a vehicle for bolstering the egos of the people conducting the interview -- they get to feel superior and ding people for not knowing the gotchas of algorithm X.
I don't get using the word outdated, yes technology is always moving forward so things become "outdated" really quickly but they don't become obsolete quickly at all.
Interesting. Any ideas on how the bacterial flora interacts with the sensing small intestines? Would they react as well when the sensation of sweetness goes over them?
I posted a follow up while you were writing this. Check out that comment. TLDR - it most likely includes overpriced data storage.
What's there to comment on? As phrased, the sentence is correct. If we want "broadly shared prosperity" then capitalism alone can't deliver because without an external influence (socially conscious leader of a private company, government regulation on wages, etc), business will always try to optimize for higher profit at almost any cost.

The debate is around the words "broadly shared". How broad do we go? What level of prosperity is targeted?
Exactly. Unless you're ACV is $100k+ this is strategy isn't really sustainable and might materially impact your gross margins.

Why? We have customers with ACVs under $10k (even after adjusting for cost of living/general prices level) with this model. We simply automated the whole process, so the clients can register for our service and get a new database (created from a template) without any manual intervention.
It certainly can, but as far as I know, it hasn't been hacked. Those leaked photos were protected by weak passwords.
Do you believe the poor and lower middle class are mistaken in being discontent with table scraps and a clearly disproportionate struggle? How should they react to perpetual promises of change that never materializes for them? Assertions that prosperity is rising ring hollow to this large segment, and rightly so. "The system is working; you just can't see it."
Any good book you recommend about these topics?, a lot of things are not clear in my mind, like why is Galileo known for "fighting" the Catholic Church about this, but not Copernicus? I have to admit I haven't gone further than some Wikipedia articles.
^^ what he said. Definitely high on the list. I debated just making this code build the executable, but given that they end up a couple megs each, and that go run is quite fast (~120ms).. I figured the default of just writing the file would be fine.
That's infuriating - is there some way we can contact the app review team to complain about their "final" decision?
If you prefer that, instead of answering :)
If you start in medias res to begin with, you can just skip writing the boring part.
This was covered in detail here[1], and much of what set people into different camps on the issue is how they interpreted what he said. This was somewhat resolved later, when it was patched in the kernel[2].

My interpretation, for an alternative take, was that Lennart acknowledged it was a problem and should be secured, but noted that there were tools that needed read-write access, so it wasn't as simple as just mounting read-only. He did note how you could mitigate the problem using fstab, but I think a lot of people took his statement that you could do so as the official response and that no fix would be forthcoming, when nothing of the sort was said. In fact, that comment, even though separate from the prior one, had its text encapsulated in parenthesis, which I take as an attempt to indicate it's something he forgot to include in his prior response, and just an addition, so not the definitive answer from the developers on the "solution".

Note, the eventual fix to the problem was at a kernel level, not systemd, because systemd didn't design efivarfs, they just use the accepted mechanism for accessing EFI variables on linux, which happens to be a filesystem. Whether you think that's a good choice for an interface or not, or think it was poorly thought out and implemented even if it is a good choice, none of those things have to do with systemd or Lennart, since they are kernel level issues.
