I have seen this from multiple angles.

I used to teach at a data science bootcamp where many of the students got hired by big companies.

I've also been running a deep learning startup for the last few years and have hired quite a few people.

Many of our team don't have phds but can still write backprop code for even complex modules like inception among other things. A lot of my students didn't have phds either.

A few of us (me included) are self taught. I've also coauthored the largest oreilly book on deep learning:
http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920035343.do

1 piece of advice I would offer is building something that differentiates you from the rest. Many of these "medium thought pieces" you're talking about are actually very cool applications of deep learning. If you want to get hired for these kinds of roles, I would demonstrate you understand how to build things with deep learning. The litmus test I would also look for is "I trained a net from scratch and innovated in x way". Honestly, there's a rare amount of talent out there that can do well at software engineering as well as deep learning. I'm not convinced a phd is a hard requirement.

I get that recruiters at these larger companies definitely tend to look for the buzz words and often can't tell the difference so it's definitely harder going the traditional route.

Tech hiring also tends to be a networking thing as much as it is buzz word bingo no matter what field you're in. If you can network a bit and build something cool that demonstrates an understanding of deep learning I don't see the problem.
I have to reference an Arthur C Clarke essay, "Hazards of Prophecy" with this quote

> When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that
> something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When
> he states that something is impossible, he is probably wrong.

I have found that the wisest, smartest, most mature folks will re-evaluate their opinions in light of new information, and often change their mind.
Kraken is a git gui tool that ia cross platform (OSX, Linux, Windows).

I wonder what frameworks are being used to build cross platform ddsktop apps. Do you use something like QT or Electron... or do you go full native?
This has got to be one of the most honest descriptions of how job hunting actually works ever written and posted on HN.

It's a sharp contrast to a lot of the stuff that is posted here that depicts job hunting like some kind of spiritual search for your life's passion.
> made again the rich unhappy and they decided to attack with all they have and this includes the media.

From what I understand, the government has pretty much eliminated the independent media.

More generally, are you saying that the government has done a good job of managing the oil industry, and also developing the rest of the economy so it is not so dependent on oil?
In my context it's because big data became a thing. Nobody wants to pay the virtualization IO overheads anymore.

That said, I've found myself swinging back towards preferring VMs - with docker-like infrastructure made available. The runv project (https://github.com/hyperhq/runv/) is an interesting and functional take on Docker-with-VMs since I spend way too much time wanting to do privileged things in containers.
Why are you investing in things with a 0℅ return then?

If you're part of society you're ideally using labor and resources from other specialists such as farmers and miners who need some reason to move dirt around to make your life better. If you have money then you put that to work helping those people be more efficient, and maybe spawn other kinds of specialists like web developers.

If however you'd rather not be a part of this society, then you're free to opt out. But then you don't get the benefits of "being on the team" and now either your standard of living goes down (I.e. homelessness) or you have to work super hard (I.e. living off grid in some remote area).
This is his weakest video to date, though. If you weren't familiar with his body of work, I can see how you'd be underwhelmed. It's informative as usual, but it's less interesting than all the others - I mean, right after he builds his own smelter from scratch (and inventing his own airflow tool) and smelts iron from riverbank bacteria, a simple cane trap is a bit anticlimactic...

> I'm curious to see what others think about your comment, notyourwork. To me (maybe only me!) it looks like you're putting a pithy stamp on what the GP said.

The response was a long winded way of saying collaborate with people and don't work in a closed box. I was merely trying to summarize that open source can be a simple and beautiful thing. It's not complicated to get involved but tossing pull requests over the wall isn't the way to do it which brings us back to precisely what I said. Sorry you didn't find value in it.

"I feel like the old static print mindset is on its way out and designers have been leaning towards the web as a medium with dynamic layouts."

I want to believe you, but I feel like the sheer number of designers who whine about GIMP's lack of CMYK support in their justifications for using Photoshop instead (nevermind that pretty much all modern display technology is RGB-centric) suggests otherwise.

I can understand thinking in a CMYK mindset and not wanting to have to think about RGB, but that nonetheless suggests an unwillingness to change one's mindset to adapt to current media.
This is true for me as well, although I picked up Smalltalk first, then Lisp (Scheme actually). After learning Smalltalk learning Java, C#, and Python just meant learning the details. Ditto with how Scheme made it easier to learn OCaml and Erlang.
"a 0℅ return"

I've seen ℅ used a couple of times recently where I would have used %. Is there a connotation or other difference in meaning implied by ℅ (care of) instead of % (percent)?
11 hours commuting a week + 80 hours working = 13 hour days 7 days a week.
Is there any specific reason you are trying to use Vue?

If not, I'd recommend taking a step back, look at the few most popular options, and start with the most "blessed" config/boilerplate with no custom changes.

Like for react, use the create-react-app thing. Don't add anything on top aside from what is needed for the bare minimum of your project you are learning with.

Feel the pain points, feel what you struggle with, make notes about what works well. Then when you have a minimum viable product, start adding "stuff". Maybe try out redux, or mess with webpack yourself, try out that library that you see people on HN bitching about all the time to see if it's really that bad. Just start fixing the worst issues you had with the language/stack, and understand how the additional tooling solves (or doesn't solve) your problem.

Don't worry about size, number of files, performance, how messy it is, how over engineered it feels. Just make something first. You'll have plenty of time to learn that other stuff once you have a good foundation. And at that point you'll know to leave out x, or that y isn't over engineered, it's just engineered.

Rome wasn't built in a day. Expect your first few things to be complete trash, and don't worry about it.

"You're going to need a lot more evidence to support the extraordinary claim that Apple "solved" any of these in a final way. Especially considering every MacBook Pro review I read picks out specific, non-iterative features of competing products that the author wishes Apple considered."

I think you're referring to touchscreen/convertible/etc. ?

I don't think those are laptops. They're interesting and exciting and maybe they are even better than laptops. But they are not laptops.

"I have all Macs, and I'd be pretty pissed at the universe if the best laptops feasible in this reality were just my current hardware when you take the limit as versions of USB and Thunderbolt tend towards infinity."

Why ?

I'm happy with hammers just the way they are. Sure, I'd like a superlight, super strong hammer made of unobtanium, but the form factor doesn't need to change.
Switch into software as a career. I've been learning Node.js for fun for the last 4 years, while I'm a full time chemical engineer with experience in oil & gas, metals & mining, and supply chain.

Ideally find something that lets me use my project management and industry experience, rather than just being a junior dev.
I don't think Apple will ever do a detachable. They're problematic and have very limited use cases.
Hmm.. I might use that. For typing, I wouldn't miss the physical space bar key like I'll miss the physical escape key. It would be closer to where my hand is naturally on the trackpad too.
I believe you are being willfully blind here. Your quote from Mike Semel comes from a Washington Post story headlined:

"Jackie’s rape story was false. So why hasn’t the media named her by now?"

You're actually trying to use a story headlined that the "rape story was false" to argue that the same newspaper hasn't actually concluded that the story was false?

A quote from the same story: "Her story has been shown repeatedly to be false, both through news reporting and an extensive police investigation."

> But they never come to the conclusion you did: that there was no rape and the story was entirely fabricated.

...really?
When I see stuff like this I have to say I am amazed at how precise some drugs are.

Somewhat related I was watching a video about protein motors and how they work. They are small structures that walk on microtubules (as mentioned in the Alzheimer's article) inside cells. There are many types but some walk using hinged protein feet.

The narrator explained how his team invented a drug that helped to make one step in that process better. They made the hinge part of the foot work normally giving it more strength. It was a single phosphate molecule added to this step.

It was incredible to think one small part of a protein motor the "ankle" part of the foot of that one protein motor on a microtubule inside a single cell had some help.

I explained it horribly here is the video https://youtu.be/9RUHJhskW00?t=1946

edit: phosphate not sulphur
Apple's HIG[1] on the Touch bar is actually great. You can sort of understand the reason Apple put it on the Macbook. You can at least envision two interesting things:

- Touch UI for scrubbing/scrolling contents faster.

- Dynamic shortcuts for most used commands that previously only accessible by using the keyboard.

Are you referring to the i7-6700HQ that was released in 2015? The CPU that's present in the 15" Retina MacBook Pro? Or is there a different CPU that nobody else is privy to?
Not just the money although that's part of it. But I've dealt with Oracle as a database before and I found it to be a miserable experience. Figuring out why something was slow or wasn't working the way you thought it should involved paying Oracle a whole bunch of money to help you figure out which undocumented switch you needed to flip.

It may be solid but it's complex enough under the hood that you are practically required to pay ungodly amounts of money to them to be able to effectively use it. I'll never willingly use them again.
> From what I understand, the government has pretty much eliminated the independent media.

There's no shortage of independent media in Venezuela, both press and TV.
I'm one of those people, though my reason is more so that I can fit more code windows side-by-side (especially on a system with a tiling window manager, like the laptop on which I'm typing this comment) and not have to deal with horizontal scrolling or weird word wrapping that's out of my control.

It also helps to keep my code readable; the shorter the line, the quicker I can work out what exactly that line happens to do. In the vast majority of cases, an inability to keep a line within 72 characters is a line that needs refactored.
it could still work as a key :>

Signal may not transmit any payload via Google Cloud Messaging, but Signal's requirement to run Google Play Services compromises the user's privacy in ways that have nothing to do with Signal. If you run Play Services then you have a device which provides your communications metadata, whereabouts, and device usage habits to Google.

I don't trust Google with this information and don't want to carry such a device, but a handful of friends and family use Signal, so I must choose between easy/secure communication with them, and reducing my exposure to corporate surveillance.

Signal may be "pragmatic" among the current choices (just like the project's decision to use GCM is pragmatic), but OpenWhisperSystems absolutely deserves criticism for:

1. Tying secure communication to running what amounts to Google's spyware on your device

2. Offering no alternative for privacy-conscious users

3. Showing hostility to those trying to introduce such an alternative to the project

I think those dismissing these concerns as "crypto-puritanism" will be on the wrong side of history.
Scorched Earth is another popular suggestion :)
- Learn React(complete the video courses I've started), and use it to build the project I have in mind(discovery platform for webdev learning resources).

- Keep making progress at my fiction/comedy writing. I've been struggling with it for a long time, but I've had a few epiphanies recently, and I want to finally make it work. The goal is as always - learn to competently craft my short funny science fiction stories.

But before any of that happens, I have to take a break, cut out the caffeine, and go through several days of withdrawal. It will be miserable, but I really have to make my body rest, sleep, and recharge. I can't keep taking more and more stimulants, it's not working anymore.

There are feral pigs in QLD, which have their own hunting culture. We were give a copy of Bacon Busters magazine: http://www.sportingshootermag.com.au/news/new-bacon-busters-.... In it we learned that real men hunt pigs, real real men hunt pigs with a bow, and real real real men hunt pigs with a knife (joking, of course). Kevlar armour can be purchased for your pig dogs (chest and throat). And when you fell your pig, take a photo with a stick propping open it's mouth... unless you have an empty beer can to do the job.

But yes, while there are feral pigs in QLD, it's a bit much to expect him to hunt them with a stone-tipped spear just to appease some random naysayer on the internet. I mean, the guy builds a tiled-roof house with chimney and underfloor heating using nothing but the stuff he pulls from the forest by hand, and somehow that's not enough - apparently he has to risk his life attacking a feral pig with stone tools to get 'cred'...

I'm unfamiliar with what detachable implies here. What's the distinction between a detachable and something like an iPad with a Smart Keyboard? Is a Surface Book or a Surface Pro a detachable?
But will it work like a key?
What media manipulation are you talking about?

I heard that you can still get the 1USD:13bsf price only if you have connections, and then make insane profits using the black market to exchange the dollars back to bolivars. Rinse, repeat.

And what do you mean no demand for the 2000:1 price? People aren't willing to trade 2000 bolivars for 1 dollar or people aren't willing to trade 1 dollar for 2000 bolivars?
They're fairly close together and easy to mistake for each other when typing fast on an Android keyboard. I certainly meant to write percent (%), and probably others too. In fact I just learned there was even a "care of" symbol.

Social Marketplace with a subscription model
Our vision is to create a social ecommerce marketplace, where sellers and buyers are not locked inside and can communicate and transact freely on or off the market. Where the marketplace operator charges no margin, so sellers can provide their products and services at the lowest cost possible, while distinguishing themselves with a great brand, excellent customer service, and feedback.

We will make it easy for consumers and small businesses to setup online and mobile presence in minutes at no or very little cost with powerful, simple, and easy to use cloud-based solutions to connect with customers, run their business, and grow.

While our flagship product is a socially-enabled online marketplace, we are a technology company, a Cloud Distribution Company.

Every little bit helps recoup that settlement
I agree completely. It really pisses me off when you complete the take home test and then get called in for another 8 hours of whiteboard technical interviews.

WTF is the point of giving these work sample tests if they're not sufficient proof that you can do the work? And how can anyone think actually programming things into a computer is superseded by asinine whiteboard sessions that have less in common with the day-to-day of programming?

IMO, after the take home test, the in-person should be a couple hours or half day for personality fit and maybe some loose questions to determine if you actually did the test yourself. Mainly, the in-person interview should determine if you can tolerate sitting next to each other all day.

So I've started giving negative Glassdoor reviews to companies that abuse these tests, either by handing out broken or excessive ones or by wasting a full day of my time with algorithm questions AFTER accepting the test. I suggest everyone do the same.
Your average hacklab will do the job just fine.

There is a real use for an actual document management system, whereas G Suite and Office365 are more properly described as "walled garden onboarding platforms." A real document management system provides just as much value for documents drafted in 1965 as it does for the company picnic newsletter.

Having said that, this does not appear to be what the headline claims it is. This appears to be some kind of half-assed Sharepoint clone.
That wasn't always the case. Before WIFI and laptops, cafes could be pretty crowded and social.

"Every enterprise I have worked at/with had Salesforce, but I've never seen or heard about anyone use it. (What do they even do?) I feel like it's one of those companies that's good at selling but not really building product(s) people actually use."

Salesforce is a webapp. It's a big, giant, monster database driven webapp that should be immediately familiar to anyone who has built any kind of business Intranet.

The actual salesforce product is (IMO) not that interesting.

However it turns out that lots of huge companies were buying Oracle database deployments almost solely for the purpose of building webapps that do what salesforce does.

So, nobody is buying salesforce instead of Oracle - that's silly, since salesforce isn't a RDBMS. Instead, they are using salesforce instead of building their own internal webapp - which just happened to run on Oracle. Which means fewer Oracle licenses get sold.

Do I have that right ?
