The Switch supports Vulkan but it also has its own native API. It's a bit early to tell but it looks from my perspective a lot like OpenGL on PS3, though perhaps with a bit more adoption since Vulkan is more suited to console-style dev and the Switch has less "weird" hardware like the SPUs to get in the way of a standard API.
That and the abysmal upload speeds of cable internet providers. Comcast's 1Gbps option has 35mbps upload speeds and they charge more than both Google and AT&T. I pay $70 a month for 1Gbps symmetrical upload and download from AT&T - flat rate no additional fees or taxes. On my best computer, I can usually get 950Mbps+ up and down wired. My house is wired for gig-e throughout.
I think that depends on how well the transportation is in the city. Me and my wife would have no reason to have cars in New York City, but we lived in Atlanta for a few years and public transportation is not a viable option unless you are willing to take an hour or two to get anywhere not directly on one of the few train lines so transportation costs are less than $100 more for the gas to go into town from the burbs.

Hey that is a great question. Our very first customers were actually some of our friends. We promised them free service for their trust which helped us identify pain points and iterate before we initially launched last May. Since then we have seen a lot of our users find us through tutorials and other educational content that we've written. In terms of how we got users to trust us, Slack has been an invaluable tool. We have a really friendly community of developers that we speak to every day and I think that has gone a long way to developing trust. It wasn't always smooth sailing and the platform has grown a lot but we try to be as transparent as possible and address problems as soon as they arise. We've dedicated a lot of time to building out our architecture, security, and scalability and I'm happy to discuss that with those interested. We are really passionate about what we are building and we hope that our customers see that and can rest easy knowing that we are working around the clock to make sure their applications run smoothly.

N00b question, is this tech only on the Model S or is it available on all of the Teslas?

Lots of jobs in gas and oil are very highly skilled jobs. Automating the stuff that's high paying because it's risky, dirty, and far from the workers' homes will increase pay imbalances as the software developers, automation folks, sysadmins, robotics engineers, mechanical engineers, petroleum engineers, geologists, executives, et al will continue to get their pay and probably more while anyone automated away who doesn't retrain will make far less in another role.
As someone who was born, raised, and lived a significant portion of my life in Hawaii, I really wish he approached this in a better way or just chose a different place. There is still a lot of negative sentiment (arguably justifiable given history) towards "outsiders" within the islands and maneuvers like this do not help things. I don't see how the negative publicity surrounding this is worth having property and "joining a community" that you'll probably only spend Christmas in.

I don't really agree. I'm not an academic, but it's my understanding is that academia's function is to advance human understanding of various topics. I would think injecting "professional civil servants and administrators" into the process would simply push the focus away from scholarship and towards more quotidian things that the government and the administrators are interested in.

Lists like Beall's seem like the way it ought to be done. The academic identify and compile lists of shoddy publications and their peers can treat those journals an as persona non grata.
the ESP8266, when it came out, was more proposed to be used together with an Arduino. Only after people made it run arduino sketches on its own, it became compatible.

That's not even remotely representative of the general climate for development in the area, and wasn't one of the projects I was talking about. That was a huge and high profile project to reshape the busiest street and transit hub in a borough of 2.5 million people involving the relocation of a pro sports franchise, building over railroad tracks, etc.

It was bound to be complicated, and it's worth noting that it got built anyways. I've lived walking distance from the neighborhood in question for 17 years, and that project has nothing to do with a developer wanting to put up a regular old high rise rental apartment building or three, which seems to happen nearly daily around here. The Fulton/Flatbush corridors have been transformed literally in a matter of months.
Basics of what? High performance computing? I'd say those are numerical analysis topics and there are tons of books for that. Unless you can make a case that there are high performance aspects to root finding, I'm not going to include it. (You should have said FFT. That has very funky interaction with caches and TBL that absolutely necessitate its inclusion.)
I use the old KeePassX on Windows, Linux, and Mac. I use KeePassDroid on Android. The password database is shared via Dropbox. Works fine.

Thanks for the clarification. That's really helpful.
Why fight it? It seems only fair that poor people get the same option to choose good schools for their children that rich people get. I honestly don't see what possible argument there is against it.
Were you at any organisations where they did 360° feedback? What kind of feedback did you receive from developers or designers from your team? What I'm trying to understand is how are organisations ensuring that PMs and team are not in disconnect from how things really are. I know that's a different realm but just trying to understand how did you find what to improve or learn to be a better PM?
Oh yeah, it was definitely just something I've heard a bunch of times, and not something I'd personally looked up the research on. Thank you for the links.

You might be interested to hear another point of view. I am one of the people who tells others I'm bad at math, but it is because I struggle with mental arithmetic due to working memory deficits. For example, I struggle to keep two two-digit numbers in my head while I compute their sum. It's embarrassing, so the natural reaction is to try to make it funny.

That study assumes a lot (suddenly you have a 2 car household if you live in the suburbs vs 0 cars in the city?), looks at averages, analyzes two things that people spend money on, and only considers Vancouver and its suburbs.

That's not quite enough to support the blanket statement "living in the suburbs is not cheaper than living in a city."

As someone who's in this situation right now, I can guarantee you that moving out of my city is the frugal option.
But I've found this is where you start to want a full-blown web framework, at least in my experience. Logic sounds very close to what Cloud Code is on Parse Server, is that right?

No, it's about google being able to continue jerking off to the idea that they only hire the best.

I've seen people smarter than me get rejected and people dumber than me get hired. Google's process is shit, and that would just be par for hte course but the company is god damn arrogant about it.

Hell, you decided to be a condescending fucking asshole just talking about it on HN.
Doesn't look like there's a real time clock and accompanying battery, like most other boards like this. I wonder why that's left out? It can't cost that much to add and seems pretty important.

IMHO, it's because bad students are like bad apples: they spoil the entire barrel. Randomly mixing your students ensures that every school has a fine selection of each of the types of bad students, with the expected result that every good student's education is negatively impacted.

Selective schools, OTOH, can attempt to select against bad & disruptive students.
Consider Phlebas is like an action movie with a few parts that could be omitted entirely (the eaters of filth) and the book would be just as good. That being said, it far and above gives you a full background in the entire culture universe so the rest of the series makes much more sense.

I actually really enjoyed Use of Weapons and think Player of Games (the ending at least) might be one of my all time top 5 favorite books I've read. Brilliant stuff, keep reading it!
> In defense of the article, which is pretty reasonable, it doesn't mention the ridiculous hijacking example you were harping on. That is quite a unique situation, technically and ethically.

It is clearly one of the implied reasons a bunch of armed men would be standing around on the road in that picture. What makes it "ridiculous," exactly?
Well, now we have Clojure, ClojureScript, and projects like Untangled. Is Lisp on its meds now?

Except they were artificially high paying because of the massive risk and shit work. Human labor in such an environment was just a stop-gap solution until automation took over. These are not "good" jobs, they were high-risk gambles masquerading as jobs. This is a bit like saying that its unlikely kids who work in coal mines will find paying jobs when we outlaw kids working in coal mines.
There are a few services popping up with aim to provide data repositories for analysis/ML (Kaggle, data.world, /r/datasets)

As someone who likes making analyses from random datasets, I have a few issues with these types of services:

1) There is often no indication of the distribution rights of the data, or whether the data was obtained ethically from the source (i.e. following the ToS). I made this mistake when I used an OKCupid dataset released on an Open Data Repository; turns out it was scraped with a logged-in account and the dataset was taken down by DMCA

2) There is no indication of the quality of the data, and as a result, it may take an absurd amount of time cleaning the data for accuracy. Some datasets may not be salvageable.

3) Bandwidth. Good datasets have lots of data for better models, which these sites may not be able to support. (BigQuery public datasets solve this problem however)
It usually doesn't depend on the model but on the hardware level. Tesla's Model S has had major updates at a pretty high rate, and in 2016 Tesla introduced a new generation of autopilot hardware (more / better sensors). I suspect most new advanced self driving features will only be available on cars with that level of autopilot hardware (which is available as an option on all Model S and Model X cars, and probably model 3 too).
Care to elaborate? He does a pretty good start.
> [0] Of course, "everyone" likely means "every property owner", as school taxes are usually property taxes.

everyone pays property taxes, but only property owners pay it directly. for everyone else it is hidden in the costs of goods and services that required real estate.
The point of polymorphic variants is that the entire type doesn't have to be fully defined in one place; you can have partial definitions in a module and those definitions can even overlap. You can have (say) [ `Int of int | `String of string ] in one module and [ `String of string | `Char of char ] in another, and the typechecker will handle intersections and unions of these types.
Hi pmx - which country(countries) are you looking for support in?

I just checked local Cinemark and most movies showing (including the Star Wars one) are available in non-3D. So it may be not the function of availability :)
Would love to get feedback. It also has a link to github where I posted all the source code, in case anyone's interested.
"We need to reform housing, allowing increased density and by-right permit approvals, and then the little guy has a chance to build affordable housing."

But why do we tend to create such restrictive zoning and approval processes? I think it's inescapable to conclude that this is a rational response to the low holding cost we currently impose on holding land.

If you're a landowner equipped with the power of zoning, why would you want to allow more development elsewhere? In the immediate reaction (common to NIMBYs), one has everything to gain and nothing to lose.

In a more market-driven situation, the landowner would weigh the desire for lower density against a real cost-- that is, the rising value of land would create more of a tax burden. (This would be the case in California if not for the anti-market behavior of Prop 13.) In an ideal situation, the burden of additional development nearby (congestion, shadows, etc), would be perfectly balanced against a drop in a tax burden.

So I'll just conclude that you're correct, but not looking deeply enough. All things eventually go back to the taxation policy on land and other natural resources.

I can't recommend enough the book by William Fischel, "The Economics of Zoning Laws"[0] (later published in a revised edition as "Zoning Rules!") to see the rationality of all actors in the current paradigm.

And the constructive recommendations?

1) Repeal Prop 13.
2) Push for a Land Value Tax.

There's no question about that. And it definitely is an issue that nearly everything new is luxury, or semi-quasi-luxury at least. With that said there are lower income requirements usually as part of the tax packages for these new projects, and also the glut of somewhat higher end studios and one bedrooms clearly puts downward pricing pressure on all the second-tier and older units nearby as well.

As mentioned, NYC isn't perfect but it has a reasonably functioning democratically elected city government that at least tries to deal with major urban issues and occasionally succeeds. Which I've heard anecdotally at least makes it a little different from San Francisco.
What's all this fuss about Erlang? (2007)
No student in any language learns by writing production ready code.

Anyone who thinks this is what it means to learn a language is attacking a strawman.
Why are German and French taught in so many schools when their native speaker counts are so much lower than other languages? Are we going by economic importance? Then why isn't Mandarin just an assumed course at every high school? I know lots of schools are starting to pick up on this, but it seems like it still viewed as a special thing.

Kids should be far more computer literate than they are now. People understand basic biology, chemistry, etc, but almost no one I know outside of work could give you even a rough abstraction of how a computer works (except maybe the idea that there is "memory" and the "cpu" is the thing that does the work).

I could rant about this topic forever, the state of high school education in our country is absolutely atrocious. I learned way more from reading in high school than I did in class (save my Chemistry teacher who was awesome).

> You don't have to keep 100 hands on a drilling site for the peak demand if you can effectively schedule.

Exactly, which is why automation is going to kill so many white-collar jobs. "Effectively schedule" means let a computer do it, not Sally Scheduler who has been doing it in Excel only because they forced her to stop using paper and pen.

This article is basically saying "the planes practically fly themselves", and I'm like "yah but do you still see two pilots in the cockpit?".

There might be 50 extra people on a drill site but there's 5,000 in the back office whose jobs could be replaced with some quick programming and no robots.
Is transportation really less? If you can take public transit (including walking) it is. However most people live with some sort of family (traditionally husband and wife and 2.5 kids). That means dad and mom both needs to have jobs accessible by public transit, and the schools need to be good enough. If any of the above fails your transit is more expensive: you have to pay for parking for your personal car(s) which is not cheap.
It would be a security problem if you could cast any value to an int array without getting an exception (and without the resulting byte code containing any sort of check). And it sounds like there is no guarantee that the exception will be thrown? (Or maybe I misread) So that does seem very serious to me.
> It would be preferable to teach about "form," and then about manipulating expressions to convert them from one form to another.

Teaching, even defining, form would not be so easy, either. In some cases, maybe for partial fractions decomposition or completion of the square, but generally, no.

Instead there is an easier approach, plenty effective: Just present the student with two algebraic expressions that are equal and have the student show that the two are equaly. So, the student gets practice in manipulating algebraic expressions; the goal, show that the two expressions are equal, is clear; and there are no issues of style or form.

Of course a lot of the work in a common course in trigonometry is of this form. So, sure, when a student gets to manipulating trig functions in calculus, they have lots of practice manipulating trig expressions, maybe even more than commonly needed! :-) Or, maybe a good trig course would trim back some of the manipulation exercises and, instead, move on to some of the trig applications, especially to signal processing, Fourier transforms (just the finite versions if want to avoid calculus), power spectra, etc. Heck covering just overtones in music, how a violin or organ is tuned, would be both good and fun.

'Bug' in that context is mostly American dialect. I'm British, and 'bug' in that context is infantile; by adults, it's either a verb or a small device planted by MI5.

But the OP is right, of course. Spiders are not insects. Although I suspect that most people I'd talk to in the UK would call them such. I'll have to hand in my Pedant's Society card (which is actually made out of plastic)...

> Millennials were born 1982-2004
What source are you getting this from? Looking at wikipedia, a lot of them put the beginning of Gen Z at ~1995-98. As someone fitting into this bracket (I don't remember 9/11), I'd say it's accurate to loosely define the cutoff for Millennials as somebody who remembered 9/11, was in the labor force during the great recession, or was socially active during Web 1.0. Gen Z doesn't remember life without the internet, grew up on Facebook/Instagram (vs. primarily chatrooms, forums, etc.), and didn't have as much experience with desktop computers for leisure in leu of phones.

This is just my observation as someone who has seen and is currently engaging with a spectrum of youth in the school system. Thoughts?
