Yup. I'm not really going to be interested in this landscape until i can get a full NLP / Intent Recognition / Voice Transcripting package in my home, completely offline.

I'm not even paranoid about the NSA/etc either, i'm paranoid about a potential 3rd party listening in and knowing when to rob my home, or viewing my family through the IP camera, etcetc.

Yeah, but you can't even use the flight search widget because it requires dates to see flights.

Honest question: have you seen how the Perl world handles this stuff? Now that I've mostly moved over to Python, the Perl experience (overall package mgmt) seems much, much better.

Note, it doesn't feel terrible in Python land, to me at least. But it was almost a joy working with Perl's packaging system.
Agreed completely, I really don't get people that fake their CV or lie at interviews.

It might land you a job, but then you have to keep the lies going indefinitely, living in fear of being found out.

Is it worth it ?
I don't know... I've met some absolutely maniacal contractors too.

I met one guy once who didn't seem to understand that projects sometimes started before he'd arrived, and often continued after he'd left; the concept that maybe a load of code was written to satisfy some business requirements a year ago, but those requirements had now been dramatically changed, seemed impossible for him to understand - "Why wasn't this just done the same as the other thing in the first place? Code re-use is supremely important! This is lazy programming!" "We get that, but these two things used to be totally different, but now we've decided to merge them." "Well that's stupid! Obviously anyone who understood OOP would've subclassed this thing in order to..." lead developer loses it and pushes the contractor off the balcony

That is very unconvincing as 49k hands is really nothing and not enough to iron out variance unless the edge is really big (which doesn't seem to be the case). Any serious poker player will tell you that.
They should play 1-10 million hands (depending on the edge) in order to get a decent idea of where this is going.
SEEKING WORK – FREELANCER – WEBITE TESING (Remote Work)
I am Samuel, a usability tester and consultant based in London, UK

I started out usability testing 4 years ago. For the past 3 years i’ve worked as a lead usability tester and consultant for global brands like BMW and a number of startups. I've worked with clients in Australia, the US, Russia and pretty much all of Europe. I am really passionate about usability and what influences user behaviour online. This covers topics such as evidence based user research, modern web design and the psychology of online persuasion.

I am extremely proud of my high quality work and excellent feedback in the thousands of websites, apps and prototypes I have tested to date. You can see samples of my work

This rings true. I'm a German living in Korea, and there's a fair number of Western foreigners here who eventually grow restless and unhappy, or even embittered. It's usually the people who came for economic reasons, without strong interest in or ties to Korean culture - they have no positives to be able to offset the sometimes very real negatives, and it slowly whittles them away. It's not smart to move somewhere if you don't have a couple of sure-fire things you know you will get joy out of on a consistent basis at the destination.

I think there are immediate ML applications in medicine in addition to radiology.

Drug discovery, any kind of imaging (retinopathy, neuroimaging, ultrasound etc).

I think the reason DeepMind are also doing a non-AI related project with NHS is because it's a quick win (current hospital IT is horrible) and they are in some ways trading it in exchange for access to lots of medical image data.

I agree there need to be more public anonymised medical datasets, so research results can be benchmarked against a common metric.

Microsoft's Linux Love-In Continues with SUSE Support in SQL Server
> That is the root of the problem: It does NOT[1].

Yes it does. There is a difference between saying there is an unverified report alleging kompromat on Trump and saying the pope supported Trump. The latter is categorically false, the former is simply a fact. Any critical reader can understand, just by reading the article, that the former are allegations which have not been verified. No such thing is possible with the latter without referring to other sources. Equating both is just muddling the discussion.

> Lying[2] is the core business of most respected media outlets.

You provide no justification for this bold statement. Just some hand-waving about distorting reality and hiding facts.

By trying to spread this misinformation you are - possibly unwittingly - playing into the hand of those who would prefer the free, independent press to disappear.

I think it's valuable for history. These allegations should be part of any exhaustive historical account of the man. If nothing else to better understand the times of his day.

Edit to clarify my point:

should we erase from history books accounts of baseless accusations of prominent people? People accused of being witches, accused of being traitors because they subscribed to the wrong beliefs etc.

Regarding Clarke, I can easily imagine people having a beef with his (also alleged!) homosexuality prefer to smear him as a paedophile. Indeed the term is used interchangeably by many to this day, by malice or lack of knowledge or both.

If he actually was one, well we may never know. Knowing the nature of mankind, he would not be the first. But we have not been presented with evidence of wrongdoing, so, the allegations are baseless.
This could have also been entitled, "A Story of an Incompetent Screener".

I have interviewed over 2500 programmers and have never looked at their previous work, on github or anywhere else. Never.

- I don't know if it's their own work.
- I don't know if they were part of a team that did the work.
- I don't know their role on that team.
- I don't know how long it took to build it.
- I don't know what else it connects to.
- I don't understand the context that the work fits into.
- It's usually far too much for me to review to get a feel of their ability.

I only need to see a very small sample of work done just for me.

I usually have them do something small in 15 to 30 minutes, on white board, pencil and paper, or environment of their choice. OP mentions fizzbuzz. This is often a good choice (and weeds out 90% right away).

Then I review what they've done with them. I'm interested in their "noun" (what they've produced), but more interested in their "verb", the discussion thay have with me about what they've done. That discussion can get very interesting...

- Why did you do it this way?
- How else could you have done it?
- What could go wrong?
- If you had more time, what else would you have done?
- What additional data could you have used to make your decisions?

That is how you find you what a programmer can do, not by looking at some repository without context.

Believe me, I know there are lots of Fraudulent Bryans out there. They don't get past me. They shouldn't get past anyone who doesn't have a lazy dependence on stuff like github.
> That was absolutely not what I intended to say with this admittedly tongue-in-cheek quip.

Thank you for clarifying.

> There is a kernel of (subjective) truth in there though: if you find yourself agreeing with one side of a meme war 100% on everything, it's most likely time to rethink some assumptions.

Yes. But "you're probably wrong if you agree with anyone completely" and "you're probably right if you disagree with most people" are very different.

> > Group identity and culture wars are not new (and are certainly not going away).

> I thought I addressed that.

I think here it's me who has been unclear. That was just an introductory remark. The substance of that part of my comment was to wonder whether the internet is really what's been exacerbating the current culture wars and factionalism, or if it's just coincidental. I still don't feel confident either way on that question.

I'm not even sure what you were looking for. If I don't know any graph theory, then my first reaction is to google what you just asked: "shortest route between two points on a directed graph". Knowing graph theory sounds like "the means to figure it out" from the conversation.

If you think everyone needs to know graph theory to write code, then I guess that's a fine opinion, but that's not a widely held opinion. It's not common knowledge to people looking to join the field that you'd need to know that.

I agree they did misunderstand OSS/FOSS badly. The last thing a company like Corel needed (or needs) to do, and I know this i very opinionated; is to make their own Linux distro. This is kind of my entire point. A platform as such that is coherent and well evangelized (I know i keep coming back to this, but I was around for the 'we're going out of business in 90 days' Apple years. It took a huge level of evangelism to keep that ship moving) perhaps would have encouraged Corel to just make their software for Linux, which to me is the win. Yes, its a proprietary Word processor or Image manipulation tool, but the OS would still be free/libre, and Corel, at the time I'm assuming this happened, could have been a win with the platform.

I reject, as someone else mentioned, as an aside, that macOS is just free software with a non-free GUI on top. That is missing the boat completely.
>> and now chief engineer of the Rolls Royce Rocket Division

Definitely cool for ideas. However I assume you are trying to monetize by getting me to buy hotels and flights through your site, which is not easy right now. I actually think I will use this, for spring break or something.

Just some initial feedback:

1) I want to specify an airport / dates before searching. I live in the DC area where there are 3 different airports prices could be from, but only like to fly out of one.

2) When I try and look at a destination, and find flights, I cannot seem to find where to add the dates, which it complains about not having.

3) Scroll wheel doesn't seem to affect zoom on the map at the location. That's taking away an expected feature of the map, and not something I like.

4) Number of people up front along with total budget. Sharing hotel rooms makes thing much cheaper where hotels are expensive. You could have a more expensive flight and go somewhere more interesting for the same amount.

5) Once I am on the results page, I might want to filter out specific countries and not just whole regions. Or I might even take a whole region, but I can't seem to add a filter after the fact.

6) Why does the 'Home' button open a new tab? If I am clicking home I want it in this tab. In fact I always want it in the current tab. I will 'Open in new Tab' if I want it in a new tab.

7) You have a way to get reminded about the site for later travel, but what if I want to book now for a Spring Break trip? How do a search for a trip 2-3 months from now? I am not planning a trip like this site is useful for last minute.

8) Maybe its just me but 'Return' flight is not what I am used to calling it. Normally that is referred to as a 'Round Trip' flight.
Love it.

In my case, the price premium isn't really that much to even think of, as I would have been going with a fully loaded GTI, which would have sticked around $35k or so, so it's not even _that_ much of a price bump.
The same argument is true on smartphones. Only an application you've installed is able to snatch your clipboard info.

Treat your phone like you've always treated your desktop - only install trusted applications and use tools like XPrivacy to analyze sketchy applications and block "features" for the ones you absolutely need to use.
It's actually quite a difficult problem for the browsers themselves and they have all the information that's available. There have been a lot of issues with showing the new URL while the old page is still in the browser, for instance.

Show HN: Simple link shortener with built in ;) URL builder
I think it’s more than that, actually: Rust is complex, and it takes time to absorb that complexity. This is also the root cause for some of the other issues such as the compiler performance (it’s immature and takes longer to make fast).

Something like Go is much easier and faster to become productive in—but then its ruthlessly constrained design paints it into a corner for some things. (My own experience with it is that Go can be fairly nice for writing applications in, but it’s often quite painful to write libraries in.)

Really, the conclusion of the matter is that Rust isn’t for everyone, and it’s not perfect yet and will take longer to get to a given level of quality than something like Go. (If as much effort was expended on Rust and rustc performance as has been expended on JavaScript performance, whoa, that would be breathtaking.)
> He emigrated to Sri Lanka in 1956 mainly to scuba diving.You did not mention references related to that period.

I did not see any reference saying he emigrated because of wanting to scuba dive. I also find that to be unconvincing. Many paedophiles use such activities as covers. The other common cover is missionary or religious work.
For movies, you could try MovieLens. I started using it a lot once Netflix's recommendations were becoming inaccurate for me. You can choose between 4 different algorithms, there's tagging to classify what you like/don't like about a movie, and lots of stats to help you understand the algorithms & your own taste. It's run by the University of Minnesota.

What's frustrating for me is I tend to choke in high-stress situations like this.

Obviously you can't trust a generic todo app in someone's GitHub, but some people have a very unique set of projects and it's clear that it isn't Stack Overflow copy and paste. By not looking at their GitHub at all, you're ignoring a huge signal as to the applicant's coding ability, as well as organizational skills, git fluency, etc.

EDIT: that said, even on my worst day I can handle basic fizz-buzz problems. As long as the screener is basic enough, and only step 1 in a larger process, I have no complaints.

It's stated in the article. During a day's play, the AI suggests plays based on its current knowledge. At night, the day's events are fed into the system for it to learn on for the next day.

I assume there are probably papers that specify what form of learning is taking place, but the article didn't go into that level of detail and I haven't tried to track it down.

anecdotal, back in the late 80s I was in the USAF. Our secure communication center was running the first model Burroughs machine to not use tubes. It was that old. It could boot from cards, paper tape, or switches. The machine was older than many people who would be assigned to it. This was closely repeated in the main data center (personnel records, inventory, and such) which had a decade old system that migrated off physical cards by 89 but still took them as images off 5.25 floppy uploaded by PC)
What I suspect is that a lot of the small changes such as not being able to delete comments (without asking the moderators) once they have a reply are a response to non-constructive behaviors which some users are applying systematically.

RF energy doesn't quite work like this. If your transmitter has a high EIRP (either due to antenna directionality or high TX power), then its signal is going to travel a long way, even after the signal level has dropped to that of a lower-EIRP transmitter. That is simply the inverse square law at work.

You could place sufficiently absorptive materials that this isn't so (e.g. enclose your house in a Faraday cage). But as hydrogen18 points out you're still limited by the FCC.

The planes were perfectly capable of flying. I haven't seen what the issue was but it's equally likely that it was a problem with the reservation system, the pricing system, the weight/balance calculators (admittedly I wouldn't want to fly with this being wonky), even the shift scheduling for backup flight crews.

There is no remote management of planes. Nobody at ATC or on the ground can prevent a plane from doing anything the pilot wants to make the plane do.
