If I were more ambitious, I'd love to see meta-analyses investigating questions like this. Given the tools we now have available, it's likely more a question of figuring out how to design the experiments. Might even be useful for the organizations themselves.

I'm not so naive as to think anyone is free of bias. Best we can do is be aware of them and build processes that guard against our biases from negatively influencing our desired goals. This might be one tool in that tool box.
Well most of Apple's servers and services run on Linux and there is clearly a demand for Linux laptops from developers. If Apple has to be friendly with OSS supporting Linux will take them a long way - good for developers including Apple's own services/infrastructure folk, broadens up the Workstation market again for Apple etc.

Doubling down on Open Source is not really doubling down if you just continue to dump code on github.

I agree with what you said.

Of course, I've also heard psychiatrists call me irresponsible for going off medication that was actively holding me back from the energy and motivation I need to work well (and feel good about my life).

There is certainly a diversity of opinion amongst practicing psychiatrists even what the role of the medication is.
That doesn't make the house less on fire now.
Prolog is extremely different than other programming languages and as a result, learning it and writing a few small programs is very mind expanding.

It really drives home how different paradigms are suited to different problems. Prolog is suited toward problems like Einsteins riddle

That's the thing, you don't have to enforce any law 100%.

You start enforcing it for the most egregious cases and others get a little more hesitant to break the law. Then you do it again and more back off. At some point, you reach a happy medium where there's "enough" enforcement that egregious cases are rare and punished heavily while the rest aren't worth punishing.

Yes, just like speeding.
This seems so simple.

Decisions and draws are independent - we can ignore the other guy and just go for the highest value. Draw the first number. If it's below 0.5, draw again, since the odds then are that the next draw will be higher.

Is there more?
Got an EE degree and a BSc in Math but 3.0 GPA - still possible to be a quant? Will they chuck out my resume or will I still get an interview.
Former high salaried person who jumped ship for a coding bootcamp here with some quick thoughts.

1) The negative image of coding bootcamps on HN is worse than in industry, not the other way. There are plenty of coders who came from bootcamps now working in industry. I agree that you aren't as well regarded a CS major, but it is definitely better than self taught.

2) The things you listed he should do are pretty much the things you'll do at a coding bootcamp. If you can stay on a good course and keep yourself motivated, it is completely reasonable to think you can be in a similar position in the same time frame (with an extra 10-20k in the bank.) However, you should be very honest about those two qualifications. It's quite easy to get side tracked/not do as much work as you think you will.

3) You're right on about the new tech. The reason that we think it's cool is because it's the thing that everyone is talking about on HN. The reason there is so much traction with all of these topics is because there aren't a lot of applications for them and a lot of people are playing with them. I'd expect an entry level coding job to be writing REST APIs and front ends for CRUD apps. You might be pleasantly surprised, but I wouldn't quit your job expecting otherwise.

a) The thing that isn't frequently talked about wrt bootcamps is that you don't get a job after the bootcamp. I'd expect 30-60 days of applying and interviewing before you get the job, just FYI.

I also spent a lot of my time watching the film trying to sort out how much is truth, and how much is propaganda or deliberate misinformation.

However, I think this also exactly the point this film is making about our modern media and political environment, which makes the film all the more effective and terrifying.
>>This is not accurate however. Other important senses in use include proprioceptive, hearing and tactile feedback from wheels. In addition to vision and the improved dynamic range of eyes, there is the important fact that human vision integrates a world model into expectations. Human vision also models time and motion which help manage where to focus attention. Humans can additionally predict other agents and other things about the world based on intuitive physics. This is why they can get on without the huge array of sensors and cars cannot. Humans make up for the lack of sensors by being able to use the poor quality data more effectively.

Yes, but all those things you listed are very imperfect and can increase the risk of mistakes. For example, someone two lanes over honking their horn can cause a momentary distraction for you ("are they honking at me?"), causing you to not notice a cyclist cutting in front of you. And so can a dancing clown on the sidewalk.
Because only Apple knows best about their hardware and there's a market for that. Apple also support Windows via Boot Camp - without that Windows would not be any more functional than say Ubuntu. It isn't like we are talking about full Linux port to their hardware - Apple's hardware deviates from standards for example - Linux people don't really have a way of knowing that. Only Apple could provide the glue required to enable those type of things.
If they are "doubling down on open source", maybe they could get open source Darwin working again? From what I've heard, while they still release some of the source code, it is no longer in a form in which it can easily be compiled into a usable operating system – e.g. some of the components they release source for can't even be built because they rely on unreleased Apple private header files – basically, things have gone backwards on this front compared to earlier versions of OS X.

(From what I've heard, I don't know how true it is, Apple became less open with Darwin, around the time of the PPC-Intel transition, out of fear it was making life easier for people trying to use OS X on non-Apple hardware easier.)
Servauditor's use of it is super usable. No interia at all. A swipe gives one click. It's so fast and pleasant to use.

Reminds me of the final book in the Hitchhiker's Guide "trilogy". The advanced version of the Guide is calibrating itself so it can perform "reverse temporal engineering" on behalf of Ford.

It asks a series of questions, one of which makes no sense, and then says something like, "Oh, time travels in that direction for you."
Did you hear about Apple's latest marketing initiative? They are renaming all the Apple Stores. From now on, they will be known as "Dongle City".

Unfortunately I don't have deep knowledge of our infrastructure, so I can't answer all of these questions myself.

That said, a decent chunk of this info can be found in the discussions on our Infrastructure issue tracker[1].

The last infrastructure update[2] includes some slide decks that contain more data (albeit it's now a little under 2 months old).

Looking at our internal Grafana instance, it looks like we're using about 1.25 TiB combined on NFS and just under 16 TiB on Ceph. We're working on migrating the data currently hosted on Ceph back to NFS soon[3].

I'll get someone from the infrastructure team to respond with more info.

I feel like this transition would go way way smoother if Apple released a single Apple TV-sized USB-C to everything else hub, with USB-A, DVI, HDMI, thunderbolt ports, instead of 5 different adapters.

Even better, they could have added all of these to the MacBook charger brick. In fact, why hasn't anyone released such a product yet?
Do tell me how you got on.

I found myself I couldn't finish it in one sitting. It was just too deep. I did it in a series of short sprints, accompanied by my weird music suggestion :)

Keep a notepad and pen handy, I found that useful to jot down various hypotheses that came to mind while I was reading it. Was useful for figuring out what certain words meant. Stay away from Google at all costs, the risk of spoilers is too great, don't even read the blurbs.

Sometimes I would think: is this thing I think I'm seeing really there, or is this the linguistic version of the Voynich manuscript? Then I'd read on and it was like being in a dark room and having a door open from a well lit hallway.
Yes but no one wrote the kombu broker for it yet to my knowledge. To use a new broker in Celery you have to write code on how to send and receive messages.

Does it have to be Linux? Could instead be something like this: http://www.gnu-darwin.org/

That project looks dead, but essentially, it would be XNU paired with GNU, operating similarly to Linux (Though you'd still end up with MACH-O binaries instead of ELF). Honestly though, I find the Unix inside Apple to be more than enough for my general needs, and VMs step in where it is not.

Also, iTerm2 is still better than anything I've used in Linux. I work in both Linux and macOS every day, Mac is still a better experience.
Indeed! Even though I originally got that lesson from Martin Fowler (his absolutely legendary book "Refactoring"), I do see Paul Graham's article as an amazing source of this same wisdom as well.
That's a good idea, but people don't always place the brick part of the charger on their desk. I usually use the direct connector (not the long one) and plug it into the wall. I would need extension cables to connect everything to it.
Any particular reason you think Prolog should be abandoned?

I think it looks like very nice language for untyped, high-level programming.

this is what Salesforce does - they have publicly visible shards in the url (na11, na14, eu23, etc) and login.salesforce.com redirects you to your shard when it figures out who you are.
The class I was taking kind of blew my mind when I saw how you can solve some problems in such cool ways with Prolog, but I would certainly admit that this server isn't exactly the kind of use it's best suited for.
The author states many times that they did this to learn about networking and Prolog, killing two birds with one stone. This is clearly in no way meant to run any serious server software.

Are you saying that people shouldn't teach themselves powerful technologies?
I ran across quite a few of them while working tech at an investment bank. Never anything that resulted in direct losses, but implied missed revenue -- definitely.

Gnome-shell extensions recover a lot of the functionality that was removed from the defaults. Eg,

- For a taskbar: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/584/taskbar/

- An applications menu: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/6/applications-menu/

Agree with all your opinions otherwise.

Being against surveillance and considering Snowden a traitor are not mutually exclusive; one can be pro-privacy and liberty and still think of him as a traitor for seeking refuge in Russia and for having a deadman switch for example.
Nobody can say! But the main thing technology is doing now is pushing us to engage design skills and critical thinking. Just "knowing ML" or "knowing blockchain" makes you a potentially useful product or service, but not a change agent. And being good enough to command the big bucks is a superstar game played per subfield and specialty. The people who are really, really into engineering work latch on to a challenging problem and can't let go - it's a pretty rare mindset and most working programmers don't actually have it, as they are there to fill seats and go to meetings and unambitiously do enough to get by. And most businesses employing them don't need a level of technology much above that either - that's why bootcamps are succeeding.

This is a world where you really need to aim to be the best in what you are doing, though. It's so competitive and there is no reason to expect that to let up. If you aren't doing that you can get stuck or hit a career deadend when the market shifts and those surface-level bootcamp skills become irrelevant.

So in my own space I am focused on a mixed stack of design, coding and leadership skills that is more in line with founders. The ability to pitch, to write up planning documents, to prototype and hold a vision, to study the marketplace and identify opportunities, to hone the vision through philosophy, as well as PM-type managerial duties. Those things are robust to changes in the technical landscape and they build on my own background.

You're saying that our intrinsic chronocentric thinking prevents us from seeing the danger of the have-nots abruptly encountering a Western lifestyle? That futureshock in large numbers could wind up causing disruption on a scale that would pull us all down?
"We have listened to the feedback and this year for the first time we are expanding WoC to a full two days!"

It's been a long time since I thought I'd see the day when Commodore conferences were getting bigger over time.

The crowd looks pretty old (not to say I'm young), and I think it's likely that this will be like classic cars. It'll come and go, as a phenomenon (or, at least, the era of what makes something "classic" will shift forward). But, it's fun while it lasts. I'd really like to make it to an 8 bit computer show one of these days.
Thank you for the kind words, it's so very appreciated :)

I have merged many features, like broker transports, result backends, etc, and while the initial contribution was great, it ends up being unmaintained with issues that nobody fixes.

If there's any feature that you really want back, chances are the problems with that feature are not super difficult to fix, so please reach out!
Sorry about that! I was on my phone, and followed the first thing from the linked post/issue; I didn't realize it wasn't published.
What kind of dell discounts does dell typically give larger customers? We get 0 (from HP) at my workplace and I've always wondered.

I'm sure it depends on how much you buy.

Does it vary by components? They seem to charge a lot for drives so I'm guessing those can be heavily discounted.
Well, they make lots of USB-C to micro-b superspeed, so that's not really an issue:

As for needs X number of adapters... or just buy a hub? Or are you actually carting around an external keyboard everywhere you go...? In which case why are you using a macbook in the first place?

https://www.amazon.com/Ethernet-Adapter-Including-ChromeBook...

I can get hating on Apple when they introduce new PROPRIETARY ports. But for the love of god, USB-C was the best decision they ever made. Is it going to take some time for devices in the rest of the ecosystem to make the switch? Sure... but the short-term pain is worth dragging the industry along.

Also... you can replace the battery pretty easily in a macbook.

Consider heads or tails: you get two flips, what are your chances of getting heads at least once? 50% for the first time then theres 50% chance you didn't, of that you now have a 50% chance to still get it .5*.5=.25. so for the two chances p(1)=.5, p(2)=.25, therefore overall p1+p2=.75 for redrawing at <50% or getting heads once with two tries.
Imagine how it feels when it's software you've spent many years crafting. I've been developing on the Mac since the late 80s and pretty much the entirety of what we think of as the "Mac" has been deprecated on multiple occasions. There used to be this thing called the Toolbox which contained all the windowing GUI methods stored in ROM, then it was pretty much the entirety of the classic to NeXTSTEP transition we called Carbon, then it was most of Mac OS when they downsized it for iOS.

Nowadays I wouldn't advise using native calls. It's probably better to get into something like Cordova or Ionic since if you are going to have any online capability, things like Core Data are going to feel antiquated compared to something like Firebase or RethinkDB. Not to mention the basic pain of rewriting your app to be cross platform with something like MinGW or The Cocotron.

I still love Apple but from what I can tell, they are running out of options in both the hardware and software space because everything is about to go to VR and nobody is going to care what's running behind the scenes. Maybe Google is the new Apple, but to be blunt, no company has had the UX vision that Apple has. People are worried about a lack of ports on the new MacBook Pros but what we should really be worried about is a world without the simplicity and elegance of Apple in all things.
"The Grubhub incident was truly disturbing"

Are you referring to the CEO e-mail? [1]

"While demeaning, insulting and ridiculing minorities, immigrants and the physically/mentally disabled worked for Mr. Trump, I want to be clear that this behavior - and these views, have no place at Grubhub. Had he worked here, many of his comments would have resulted in his immediate termination."

Sounds like standard HR policy to me.

I avoided replying to this earlier, but I've thought about it a bunch, so here's my 2cents.

You're crazy to do this. I've been (largely) a developer for years, and I struggle to get excited about client work now. It's amazing to be able to MVP something myself, or throw up a project over the weekend, but that's kind of it. Kids are younger and hungrier than me. Having experience is fantastic and certainly helps with day-rate, but I just don't have the time or the energy to keep on top of everything anymore. Now it's time for me to transition to other things.

In your position - keep the job. But invest time outside of that to learn to code. Build fun things. Experiment, learn, grow. Having an idea of what can be done, how it can be done and the time it takes will make you 10 times more valuable in your roll and moving forwards. You will be better positioned to talk to clients and talk to developers.

If or when the time comes that you want to run your own business you will be in a better position to recruit and to muck in yourself.

But for now, spend your spare time learning, and save as much money as you can to take a chance when and if you're ready.

That said, good luck with whatever you choose. Right or wrong, you can only learn from your choices :-)

Completely ignoring the democratic party's platform as usual. It's starting to look like this "right-wing base" is obsessed with identity, and it's preventing them from actually understanding the other people who want to help them. The rest of us just want everyone to get along and be happy.

This article makes it sound like working or middle class people are dumb as shit. My neighbors aren't dumb. They didn't vote though.
This looks really nice and well set up. I love the fact that you chose typescript and bundle a good definitions file. I totally understand homepage performance was not on the agenda yet, and its really no big deal to me, but I have to agree with others on the mobile support: this sadly crosses blueprint of my list for 99% of my work, if not all. Will be coming back to see where to project is going though!
Wow, guys you are so awesome. I did not expect this kind of positive answer. I'm making now a slack group, so we can learn together and I will send you invitations. Please contact me on twitter @RautaAlin to give your emails and start sending the invitations.
