I'm going to disagree with the bootcamp grads don't do interesting work. My company employees a couple bootcamp grads including myself. All of them work on what are considered the most critical teams in our company. I work on search, which has some of the best engineers in our company. I will be working on elastic search, building our first angular 2 app, and I might even get a little exposure to machine learning / nlp.

I also extremely disagree with the do a bootcamp and then go back to a pm. You will have wasted a lot of money and will definitely not absorb much. We have bootcamp grads who have done that and they forget everything they learned. You need at least a year of professional experience to really get any meaningful knowledge. Not recommended.
FWIW, you can get a taskbar if you use "gnome classic" (which otherwise seems to be identical). It usually comes installed alongside gnome shell. If using GDM, click the wheel on the login screen and select "gnome classic" before entering your password.
“It’s really hard to withdraw from antidepressants,” said New York psychiatrist and pharmacology expert Julie Holland. In some cases, “people feel like cold water is running down their spine. They can feel their brain sloshing around, or electric zaps in their head.”

Dang.

If it's true as claimed that medications only help half the time, this seems like a strong encouragement to try things like exercise, yoga, and lifestyle changes before going the medication route.

Unless you're so depressed you honestly can't make those changes... as commenters have mentioned, sometimes medications are absolutely helpful, needed, and life-saving. I've heard of cases where being on a medication just for a short time helped people break out of a rut.

If you're getting a prescription, it seems worthwhile to ask docs for options that are less problematic to get off of.

Here's the strategy that one of my professors uses and that he explained to me some time ago: While he reads and replies to incoming emails througout the day, he set up his mail server (or email client) to only send out his replies once a day, namely at 4.30am. That way,

1) correspondents are prevented from using email as chat, i.e. from burning a lot of his time
2) people write more result-oriented emails, knowing they will have to wait for his response for a day
3) the total volume of emails reaching him decreased because a lot of the issues people (want to) email him about often solve themselves within a day, so people don't bother emailing him about them anymore, knowing that he won't be able to help them in time.
Wikipedia says:

> According to the CBO, between 1979 and 2011, gross median household income, adjusted for inflation, rose from $59,400 to $75,200, or 26.5%. However, once adjusted for household size and looking at taxes from an after-tax perspective, real median household income grew 46%, representing significant growth."

> Another line of analysis, known as "total compensation," presents a more complete picture of real wages. The Kaiser Family Foundation conducted a study in 2013 which shows that employer contributions to employee healthcare costs went up 78% from 2003 to 2013. The marketplace has made a trade-off: expanding benefits packages vs. increasing wages.

I feel like "Marxist," like "cuck" and "SJW" have been so overplayed and diluted as perjoratives by the right that they long ago lost any meaning or weight.
I would suggest that rather than a "coding bootcamp" you take courses from your local community college, state college, or similar (do you have something like Harvard Extension School?) in actual computer science and software engineering.

But yes, by all means, if your goal is to learn to write software yourself, go ahead and get that extra education.

Coding bootcamps produce people who are conversant in the hot technology of the week, but if they were weak on fundamentals going in they're still probably going to be weak on fundamentals coming out. If you want to be a leader in the field, and not in the rank and file, you need strong fundamentals.

> For starters, you should be clear on when they expect a response back

If only recruiters and hiring managers took this seriously! They've been the worst communicators I've ever experienced in my professional life--as the applicant. I'm cool with ignorance of an initial application. That's normal. It's just after I interview with a company 2 or 3 times for a position and then they ignore my communication that I become quite annoyed.

Example 1: I am currently waiting on a response to a second in-person interview I had with a number of people at company X. I was told that I would "hear back next week" from the hiring manager. 2 weeks later, I sent an email to check in. 1 week later, still no response.

Example 2: A while back with the much more well-known company Y I was told that I would "receive feedback soon" by a recruiter after they had flown me out and had dedicated basically a half-day worth of interviews for me with their team. I followed-up 1 week later and received a message that "the team has been busy" and that they'll "get back to [me] next week." I sent another email checking in 2 weeks later. Ignored. I tried again 2 or 3 weeks later after that. Ignored again. And just because I still had the recruiter's email address, I followed-up 2 months later and finally got an email that the position had actually been removed.

> I don't understand why people are acting like every liberal was on board with these policies until the election.

As a libertarian, I agree. Many liberals have opposed these policies. I think even Glenn Greenwald may have or may still identify as a liberal.

However, every person I know who self-identifies as a "Democrat" and not a "liberal", has supported "all" of Obama's policies (including mass surveillance), and has condemned Snowden in the strongest terms. There are a few of those on HN, but I agree that by far most HNers oppose mass surveillance (unless there's a large "hidden" segment as is apparently the case with Trump supporters, who have come out en masse on HN in the past few days).

When someone buys a condo in my building like in many, many (most?) such buildings, they agree to bylaws saying they will only ever rent their units out for a minimum of 6 months at a time.

It's meant to avoid overuse of some shared facilities (loading dock, etc), having to reexplain the rules we all agreed on every other day, improve the sense of community, and all around make it nice for everyone to enjoy their apartment and live with each other.

If they go out and airbnb their unit out, it's not the hotel industry they're hurting. It's their neighbors, community, and they're breaching rules they specifically agreed to.

Some MPs 'ready to vote against triggering Brexit'
Very much indeed. What I'm not sure is understood in these jobs calculations is that there is always a domino effect. The paper mill closes down one of their machines. This lays off 100 people. All the truckers that supplied wood for that machine also lose their jobs. There's another 25 jobs. All the logging contractors that supplied that machine have to either find other contracts or lose their jobs. There's another 25 jobs. The businesses that supplied parts and repairs for the loggers, the truckers, and the mills, lose that business. There goes some more jobs. The sandwich shops, gas stations, restaurants and everything else in the community takes the hit because of the hundreds of other people that have now lost their jobs, and some of those people lose their jobs. People leave the area. School districts downsize, the road departments and the police forces and the hospitals downsize because the population has shrunk.

It's a vicious circle.
I don't have a problem with hiring workers from outside the country. My problem is when you lay off American workers and replace them with cheap foreign labor, while claiming you're doing so because you can't find qualified workers. That smacks of Silicon Valley doublespeak, and it's grossly unfair.
They aren't buying consumer GPU's they aren't buying the NVIDIA dedicated servers, but they aren't running Geforce chips either.

If nothing else is that because you cannot virtualize Geforce line GPU's, there is no CUDA Direct or NVLINK support etc.

If you are telling me that Google is buying Geforce GPU's and flashing the bios with a custom bios ripped off a Quadro card so they can do PCIe passthrough in a hypervisor and initialize the cards then sorry not buying it.
How did you do that in-browser spreadsheet? It is amazing. Is it React-based or what? I didn't know it was possible to set width and height for <td> elements.
Increasing the supply of workers will ALWAYS drive down cost. So you can debate the minutia, but that is the trade off we make.

Lawyers and doctors have strong "guild" protections to stop overseas labor competing. Software devs do not.

Ask HN: Falsely accused of ad fraud; what do do?
Over the past weeks I've been changing my advertising setup. Now I've already been informed by a couple of potential partners that they don't want to work with me because a third party has (falsely) labelled our website as being involved in Ad Fraud.

I'm sure that there's no ad fraud on the website, since I'm the only person benefitting from ads on the website. I've had the website for years and have always just ran AdX so it can't really be a historic problem either. I don't see anything suspicious in logs or in Google Analytics either.

What I'm thinking that might cause this is the following. The website is a browser games website, so people spend a lot of their time playing a game (as opposed to reading / scrolling / interacting directly with the page). The games are either an swf object or in an iframe. I think that this means that the main page doesn't see any activity / interactions (in terms of DOM events) from the user, which might cause these automatic fraud detection systems to fire.

Is that possible?

Does anyone have another possible explanation?

Is there anything I can do?

One of the companies in question is DoubleVerify, the other is AppNexus. Does anyone know someone at one of those companies who could take a look?

BTW HPE provides some storage solutions where you can scale it up to 8 petabyte (in a single rack afaik).

I have a really small setup but i would personally look into a dl580 as VM host and having two for redundancy.
And a dual path storage system in my case I used a 2u MSA2400 (not sure if that is the latest name)

Since it could continue to scale up and provided dual path too.

I don't have experience running CEPH so I am not sure what are the hardware requirements for CEPH.

I think what you're seeing in this post has product implications for Google Cloud.

The OP is asking for guaranteed IOPS/latency SLA for which they're willing to pay HUGE money for by ROLLING THEIR OWN.

Possibly think about high service pricing tiers for systems that require it. This is a standard operations problem that can co-exist within pooled service models.

How bad does a leader have to be before supporting him is a genuine moral outrage?
No, it is exactly the same problem. It's impossible to police whether a particular short-term guest is a loud one or a quiet one. So we separate the areas where tourists stay, where hotels are, from the residential ones where people live permanently.

It's a great solution, until people start defecting and creating things like airbnb.
I'm intrigued by the Futamura projections and the possibility of getting a compiler for a programming language "for free" by using partial evaluation to specialize an interpreter. It appears that fully automatic theorem proving technology isn't powerful enough for this to work well enough to be interesting.

But what about proof assistants? It struck me that using a proof assistant to guide the theorem prover inside a partial evaluator offers an opportunity to repartition the coding task. The idea of "end user programming" always fails because we cannot sufficiently separate the idea of a program that serves as specification (here is what we want done, its a shame that this specification isn't really runable because the implied algorithm is too inefficient (think about PROLOG, where a naive program may well be logically correct, but backtracks itself an exponential runtime)) and a program that describes a tolerably efficient algorithm. The poor end user has enough trouble with writing code that specifies the computation correctly without worrying about computer-sciencey stuff about how the computer should actually go about computing it.

If only there was some way the person rewriting the code to make it go fast could do so at one remove. He works with the end user programmer first time through, but subsequent revisions by the end user get rewritten automatically...

Wow, there are a lot of really positive comments here for a youtube video that might as well be called Conspiracy Fnord. Can we get a more appropriate link so the comments at least slightly match the content of the video?
1) app academy San Francisco
2) it was challenging you get rejected a lot, you get tons of homework projects, and you end up having to practice skills that are useless for your job. I am dreading when I have to do the next job hunt (a lot of engineers hate the process). On the plus side most companies will want to interview you because of your background.
3) I am doing full stack web dev. Started mostly on the front end moving more towards the back. I just got moved to a search team.
4) Mostly not. I feel capable of doing web dev, mobile, and possibly embedded stuff. I do see myself able to get into machine learning within 4 years but that's because of my stem and math background. It is true though that by being a web dev many large companies will let you work on a team with machine learning guys so you can hustle your way in. Just don't think a bootcamp will give you the knowledge.
5) I like building things. I don't care that most of the things I build are crud apps, I have so much pride in being able to see something I built in the real world.
6) I feel lost and dumb a lot of the times. I realize now this feeling will never go away as an engineer - it's a part of the job.
7) I don't enjoy programming as much over the weekends. Before being an engineer I used to work on small coding projects on the weekend and loved it. Now that's it's my job I look forward to doing other stuff. It's kinda like how some NBA players probably don't want to play basketball in the offseason even if they love basketball.
8) I plan to move past web dev and go into something like computer vision or embedded systems. This will take several years but I think I can do it because I have a strong math background.

FYI I agree with many of the commenters that your reasons for doing a bootcamp seem a bit misguided. I did one because I'm genuinely excited by building things. I feel like I could be building boring crud apps for the next 5 years and I'd still be happy. If you don't feel that I would reconsider.
Thanks sharing this. I actually see some equation needed for my last midterm lol
Yes you are. I'm a PM and researched this decision myself a few months back. Most of the "well regarded" bootcamps teach basic front skills (HTML/CSS/JS). You're going to struggle to get a job in any of the the exciting technologies you've listed with this skillset. It's also not widely talked about, but I get the sense that there's a bit of negative signal associated with these boot camps a la ITT/University of Phoenix. I'm not saying this is justified, but I do believe the association is there.

I think your general premise (that management is becoming less relevant) is true, but you're approaching the problem incorrectly.

If I had your goalset, I would cram hard on EdX, OpenCourseware, etc. You need a good first principles education starting with Algorithms, Data structures, etc. I'd also start to learn how to do SWE interviews, which are a whole other skill set.

One last note: even if you do all of the above, the best way to ensure you're working with cool technologies is to start your own company. I work for a major SF tech company, and our ML team is two orders of magnitude smaller than our monetization team. At the end of the day, companies exist to make money and a lot of the stuff you've highlighted is currently speculative/nascent. There's just not going to be many jobs until these technologies prove their financial value.
Edit: Sorry, I read your reply below and obviously I'm not telling you anything you don't know. Maybe someone else finds it helpful.

My original reply:
"Photogrammetry" in this context, assuming the article is using the term correctly, should mean that the models are a computer reconstruction of the 3d shape based on a dataset of a large number of photos.

Depending on the coverage and quality of the photos taken, some cleanup would be necessry, and potentially a human might have made up particular details after the fact if some portions of the ship were not visible in the photos taken, probably due to occlusions etc.

The article seem to say this was a side product of a geological survey mission, so my guess based on that and personal experience with photogrammetry techniques is the geometry of the model is feature accurate, although some noise may have been introduced. The lighting is likely to be artificial.
How does he/she do that?
Yes, I think this is what makes this project so interesting. It keeps Ceph in the data path which has been tuned over 8+ years while leaning on the stability and advances in etcd for consistent distributed configuration.
> EDIT: And while I'm at it, are his/er packages what one usually uses in common lisp for web development?

No - but there are no packages one "usually uses in common lisp for web development". There are choices for every aspect and one is expected to make an informed decision or simply write yet another implementation of the same functionality if preferable in the specific project.

Of the packages mentioned I only use cl-who regularly; I have a modified hunchentoot for dev work and my own css generator. Using a package for handling ajax requests never occurred to me because for all my projects a 5 line macro did the job.
