Thanks for sharing. How are you guys organized at Netflix? Is there a distinction between platform product managers and solution product managers? From outside it looks like the world is divided as Content led by Ted Sarandos and Platform led by Neil Hunt.
You mis-read the comment you're replying to; you both agree.

The US military is the largest "economy" in America. It employees massive numbers of people, it requires a huge amount of industry, and massive connected government contractors to supply everything. The only thing that keeps this engine running is war. It's fundamentally baked into the system and it won't be easily stopped even if there was any political will to stop it (and there isn't).
I hate to do this but I have to quote you, "You mistake concurrency with parallelism."
For example, right now Blacks are admitted to med school with an average MCAT score around 61%, while Whites and Asians are admitted with an average of about 91%.

Bigotry from that group predates Affirmative Action, so don't use that as an argument.
I wouldn't necessarily say so. Rightfully pointing out that someone has made a statement which doesn't add anything to the discussion or support their argument is a valid counter to ad-hominem attacks which aren't automatically themselves ad-hominem.

Looking over their public work experience and perhaps open source contributions you will already know if this person will be a good fit.

When tasked to interview I have found that asking a question which you know the candidate will be unable to answer will show you the most-intriguing parts of their character. Something deceptively simple like a puzzle or logic problem but scales up quite quickly.

This is when you can learn things about them that they would not put to paper and thereby determine if they are for you.
OK. I think I understand a bit what you mean. I tend to think of Japanese culture as having an inside and an outside. All things are negotiable if you are outside. No things are negotiable if you are inside. Everyone is allowed inside, but you must play by the rules -- all of them, with no exceptions.

Foreigners often have difficulty with this because rules in most western cultures are negotiable. You can appeal to common sense. You can argue your position and modify your environment. This is generally not possible in Japan. The idea of drawing a line, as you have described, will almost certain end in an extremely difficult position if you wish to be inside.

I think there are 2 happy places in Japan. You can decide that you aren't going to follow the rules and accept to be outside. Everyone will smile and be polite. They will be very helpful to you. They will praise you on being able to use chopsticks, etc, etc. You will forever be an honoured guest.

But not many people want to be treated as a guest in their own home, so most people want to be inside. This is also fine, but you have to learn the crazy rules and follow them exactly. You have to be OK with being reprimanded for making the slightest error. You have to slot yourself into society exactly where they put you. You have to do what is expected of you.

Where you get into trouble is when you want to be inside, but you want to pick and choose which rules that you wish to follow. Or if you wish to negotiate those rules. Or if you wish to convince others to play by other rules. That's just not going to work in Japan and I think it's why most foreigners don't stay, even though it is technically very, very easy to immigrate here. Like I said, especially if you have a very strong moral sense of right and wrong, it's going to be really, really difficult unless it happens to match exactly the sense of right and wrong in Japan (which is pretty unlikely if you were not raised in Japan).
Or more likely, if you're just a super-hater of Trump and/or Republicans and feel the need to claim that every single decision is terrible, disastrous, stupid etc. Let's face it, roughly 80% of political discourse comes down to this, from one side or another, and can safely be ignored.
Please no personal attacks like this on Hacker News.
Looking at the top few comment threads, I don't see much shitting going on in non-downvoted comments at least, rather valid questions and answers on who this guy is and why he was selected CTO (a position more like chief visionary). Having worked for Microsoft myself, these decisions, and more importantly their consequences, always seem to be opaque unless you are somehow in the know.
Equating skyscrapers only with supertalls (200m+) is pretty misleading. For example, both Sydney and Singapore are currently experiencing massive skyscraper booms, but they don't appear on the charts because they're "only" in the 150m range.

Also, the "cities" are poorly defined. Tangerang is a suburb of Jakarta and should be counted as such, while Mandaluyong is in Manila. I suspect the same applies to a number of those Chinese cities.
Not really. Once again. What stop completely concurrent code to run on different schedulers ?
When you listen to people it sounds so easy... i'm just gonna launch an mvp and iterrate on my users feedback. %99 of the time you won't even get one single user. So in order find out what people want - you need to build an MVP and go out there to collect your first user. We always forget about the second part. It seems like an MVP would attract a bunch of users by default, who aren't happy. All i have to do is to make them happy... at that stage you've already past seed fundings, medias, etc.

To build something people want the first real step is collect your first users. Then after it's everything people mentioned here...
You're only identifying a problem, what do you do once you have that idea other than build an MVP to solve it?

Ask yourself this: Do I, a US taxpayer, own everything the government buys with my money? Think I can take a trip to my local military base and use one of "my" tanks?

And before you counter that there is a difference between data/research papers and "real" things like tanks, the government (and the media industry, and the scientific industry, and...) don't see it that way. It is intellectual property, owned by the US government.
Also, some of the perceived bigotry is perhaps actually perpetrated by people who believe they are fighting against bigotry. For example, right now Blacks are admitted to med school with an average MCAT score around 61%, while Whites and Asians are admitted with an average of about 91%.(3)

Aside from the fact that one would have to be more than a bit muddle-headed (or simply lacking perspective and generally naive) to think that there might be some net "anti-bigotry" effect to expect from the Trump administration -- the document you link to doesn't support what you're saying. (It doesn't in any way mention the ethnic background of applicants, or how they scored differently).
The summary seems to pick the most unique sentences, so maybe LexRank? Amazing though, I've been really wanting a way to skim HN articles quicker, since there is so much volume and you don't want to miss anything

Great work!
This. Often, you can't find where this variable or function comes from. You read the sources only to discover that there is no trace of this variable and it is probably defined dynamically in some callback. You can only find this kind of stuff with the help of debugger. The dynamism, which allows one to create beautiful interfaces, and is often advertised as a programmer's friend, is actually the enemy of the programmer who is going to read the code afterwards.
It's true that there are competing concerns, but that is why we hold up dissenters that safeguard the public interest as heroes. They are making a noble attempt to protect the public in times of adversity.
Sure, and it is also likely 100x the size. That wasn't the original question, the question was what has LinkedIn done engineering wise. I'd say Kafka was a pretty smashing success having met all of Neha, Jun, and Jay Kreps and talked Kafka with them.

I said it is trivial to parallelise a C program that implements an embarrassingly parallel algorithm. Embarrassingly parallel means no resources need to be shared, and there needs to be no communication, so no need for locks or messages, even in C. That's why I say it'd be trivial to parallelise it. Just add a pthread_start. Of course almost no applications are embarrassingly parallel.

Outside of IMAX cinemas, it seems ticket sales for 3D movies are lackluster as well (compared to 2D showings of the same film at the same location). Not sure if it's the actual format or just the 3D surcharge.

I imagine smaller chains opening new locations may pass on adding 3D capability to their theatres in future, however many may continue showing 3D films on the equipped screens if only to justify the extra $15k/cinema in equipment they were hustled into buying while making their mandatory 3D conversion.
Parallel programs really are not that hard to write. The hard part is figuring out how to make a problem into embarrassing parallel. Once that's figured out, the coding is simple. In this case, the language choice won't help.
The externality is on the customer who didn't factor the noise into their value calculation, because it's hard to judge before you live there for a while. So because they don't bear the cost of inadequate soundproofing, developers will tend towards the cheapest option.
Most of it ends around midnight though. After that it's taxi or bust (or wait for first train in a manga cafe)

Jesus christ. It's so hard to believe that's only from 2004.

I feel like that era transpired 40 years ago. The period of time before smartphones feels like it happened in the 1970's to me.

The difference between 2000 and 2015 is so absurdly radical it begs disbelief.

A Conversation on Data Science with Prof. David E. Culler
If you are familiar with Sinatra, have you checked our Padrino [0] ?? Padrino gives you a lot of the Rails goodies without too much bulk added.

I've developed and deployed several 'real world' web apps in Padrino now. I looked at Rails in the early days, but for some reason could never really get to grips with it (probably because it was too opinionated for me). Sinatra/Padrino's DSL methodology seemed to sit better with me, and I ran with it.

Oh, I completely agree with you.

I'd also extend PE so kids have it all through school - in high school, I only had 2 semesters over the years. 6 weeks of that was Ping Pong. Yes. Ping pong. Valid physical activity, sure, but I really don't need to know the rules. It would be more helpful to know how to build up a running habit and how to do resistence and flexibility training safely. It'd be helpful to know how to stay active without equipment - and in addition, how to use the equipment safely.

I generally seperate the nutrition into a health and life skills class, but they could be combined easily.

> Keeping a blanket gag on any bureaucracy is a futile endeavor.

Look what Obama did to Snowden and Manning, and that from a Democratic president.

Trump meanwhile has stated multiple times that he supports torture and Guantanamo - I don't know if I'd have the courage to be a leaker under a President Trump. One thing is for sure - anyone caught leaking anything opposing or contradicting Trump will spend a long time behind bars or worse.
Your analogy is flawed in that Samsung is a private entity which owes no accountability to anyone other than its shareholders. But government here is a res publica, that is a public matter. Executive authority necessitates hierarchical structures as a purely practical matter, but the notion that executive authority should be unlimited is untenable - as a practical matter.

Edit: of course Samsung has obligations towards regulators and those governmental entities whose issuance of a charter permit it a corporate existence, but I think you get the point I'm making.

In my view the Constitution is on life support and has been for some time, most notably when the Senate last year abrogated its constitutional duty to advise the President by even granting his nominee a hearing; they could have voted against every nominee Obama presented but that legislative body had an obligation to at least examine said nominees.

I don't wish to have a long argument about politics here on HN but I will say that I think the US is headed towards and existential crisis and that the results of the last election affect only the timing of that.

Can you point to some specifics by Adam Bien? I'm very curious but don't know where to begin.
There was a moment in web development where a single "full-stack framework" was possible, that moment has passed, and that moment was more rare and unique than it seemed at the time. The future seems to be more about lambda functions[1], api gateways, and many native clients.

Quoting DHH, the Rails pitch was use Ruby for everything:

> The core premise of Rails remains in many ways as controversial today as it was when it premiered. That by formalizing conventions, eliminating valueless choices, and offering a full-stack framework that provides great defaults for anyone who wants to create a complete application, we can make dramatic strides of productivity.

That premise is irrelevant today. A complete application today isn't just a website. It's a website, a phone app, a car app, a TV, a kiosk, a conversational bot, etc. Choosing even the highest common denominator across all those platforms means eliminating unique opportunities to delight the user.

If now the premise of Rails is that it's a great way to generate JSON on the server, sure but that's a fraction of the stack. The selling point for Rails is now simply an aesthetic choice between Javascript and Ruby. DHH admits as much with his closing argument:

> Just look at some code. I dare you not to fall in love.

Since the core premise of Rails remains full-stack, plugins at best are a cycle behind innovation. Conventions have to be explored elsewhere before they can be formalized, and before choices can be exposed as valueless. At worse, plugins are multiple cycles behind innovation due to pointless infighting.

This just seems way too slow, I'd rather get my hands dirty today.

[1] or process containers, let's not get bogged down in vendor details.
>You're talking about someone who can't finish anything, and won't even bother to document his half-arsed, half-baked code, as a "brilliant" mind? And on the basis of, what? That he (it's always a he, in the article) used to get good grades at school.

People who, since early age, could obtain success in school without putting in any effort might not develop the will to study and the discipline required to maintain a healthy study habit. They might start expecting to be able to simply grok subjects as they are presented.

When they reach higher education, they discover the material is harder to understand and struggle since they haven't developed the necessary fortitude to cope. When they start complex projects, they don't persevere to the end since the boring 20% that remains to be done requires 80% of the total work.

I don't think they're acting like rockstars and ninjas. Maybe they're just doing as experience has taught them only to find out later it's not enough and that real effort is required.
It's not specific questions that are important so much as the process. You want the questions to be tailored to the candidate.

See this example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfyWvJdsDRI
Tools -> Options -> Advanced

Under File Input/Output Connections, check the box labelled:

- Do not ask whether to synchronize or overwrite; force synchronization

It's a program option, rather than a database one, so you need to set it on each computer running KeePass.
(D) The President should put in place a process for agencies to recommend release of reports, relying in good faith on agency recommendations in doing so while retaining ultimate authority and accountability over what is released.

Back to the Samsung example: the engineering department almost certainly prepared that pretty graphic explaining the causes of battery failure. But it was the company acting as one entity that ultimately reviewed that disclosure and made the decision to publish it.
I mean it sounds rational until you realize that modern rails apps are a perfect example of the complexity you want to avoid.
Good point, and I can admit that you are right, I misread his comment. He is making a legitimate point about representation in government. I took it to mean: 'all Trump supporters are...'

> Trump does. He's going to implement his policies, since the voters have voted him to do so.

All voters have influence, not just the ones who voted for you and not just for one Tuesday every four years. He's the President of all Americans, not just Trump supporters.
That's neither here nor there. He hasn't cast any doubt, he's simply said things that are contrary to reality. Much as he has done in the past and continues to do.

I've only used pluralsight but it's ridiculously good in my opinion. I was asked at work to trial a couple of courses from some providers and in the process was signed up for the pluralsight free trial. The company decided overall it was too expensive, but I was hooked so I bought a subscription with my own money. It has definitely been a tangible boost to my career. I'd be interested to hear others experience of how other providers.
> Honestly an init process implementing a DNS resolver?

Systemd is a project that manages a large number of low-level services and programs that work together to try to help create a cohesive operating system.

Systemd is also the name of a init program.

These have the same name, but are not the same thing.

Systemd init process does not provide any DNS resolver features. Systemd-resolved, however, does.
Just for the record, Obama never wanted anything to do with Syria and Libya. And when he got involved, he did so reluctantly, and under pressure from the likes of McCain and Hillary.

As for Russia, remember the Reset button? That was Obama's idea, one that was counter to what the war machine wants. The disagreement between Obama and the military regarding Russia wasn't a small matter. At the end of the day, he lost that battle.

Now we have a Republican administration that's even closer to Russia than Obama will ever be.

Who's going to win this time. The White House or the military?

And what's even worse, so many drivers have issues when compiling shaders that were writen maliciously (or even regular ones), that I'd say we'll see security problems with this really soon, the same we saw them when web fonts started to pop in and code that dealt with fonts simply wasn't written with security in mind
They should have done it long time ago. The pages today contain a lot of third-party scripts (advertisement, tracking, etc) and they sometimes can use up to 100% of a CPU core.

Mobile browsers are already stopping background pages because otherwise the phone's battery would be drained in hours.

Unless a background page is doing something useful for user, it should not consume any CPU time.
