Yep, I live in the EU but I am in Cambodia now and I love three languages the most; Lisp, Forth and APL. So you know what to do to make me cry and have eternal enlightenment...

Edit; I use Lisp in the form of Clojure daily as well as Forth for embedded. When writing embedded code, instead of assembly (check my profile, the stuff we use definitely has no room for Node but often not even C) I usually port a Forth if one is not available, at least for testing but usually it is good for production too.
It's early days, so we haven't filled out a lot of our content. While our main newsline is on Conor McGregor, the UFC fighter, there is not much fake news or bias surrounding him. A far better example is to look at the newsline for Emma Sulkowicz, the so-called "Mattress Girl" [1].

Ms Sulkowicz, at that time a student at Columbia University, claims she was raped and in protest at what she saw was the University's lack of action, decided to carry a mattress around the campus for a year. The problem for readers wanting to find out more about her story is that the media is highly polarized. They are either written by feminists, or their opponents. There is no middle ground. If you try to get an overview of the case on Wikipedia [2] you will encounter that site's systemic bias, where the most powerful group on the page "owns" the content. In this case the page is controlled by people sympathetic to Ms Sulkowicz claims and reflects their bias. There is also the issue that Wikipedia does not allow embedded content such as documentation or videos.

Newslines fixes the problem of bias by allowing people to build up the page by adding news events. Each news event comprises only the factual information in the source article. Even if the source is highly partisan we can still extract non-biased information. In effect, we are converting articles to data. As each factual summary is added to our system it builds up an unbiased account of the topic, and the reader can then decide the result. Compare this with a traditional news article or biography where the writer starts out with the conclusion in mind. Also, because each post goes through editorial review, the potential for fake new is minimised.

Meh. A bank account earning compound interest will achieve "all-time record quarterly revenue" every single quarter.

Apple's quarterly profit is only up by 2.4% per share. Let's look at earnings per share for each calendar year [1]:

2016: $8.35 (down 11%)

2015: $9.42 (up 27%)

2014: $7.42 (up 29%)

2013: $5.76 (down 9%)

2012: $6.30

Looks to me like Apple's growth spurt is over.

No offense taken. See my answer above.
grzm, why are only a few people to be able to downvote? Again, I'm not against down voting. I'd like just upvoting. NO downvoting. Or all up/voting.

Again, I'm not speculating. If you allow a few to down vote all, you have a big fucking problem.

It's not HN specific, many websites reported returning the laptop or being very very disappointed, which was rarely the case before.

Now it's possible that it was just mass web hysteria. My cynical brain thinks that 1) people are gullible and want shiney 2) their previous MBP was getting too old so they bought the new

> Were early modern people perpetually drunk?

It's an idiotic premise. Turn up to work drunk and see how well you do.

Who the hell would want to do a labourer's job drunk.

Who would hire someone drunk?

Imagine the whole workforce drunk?

Even tipsy, seems worse, the afternoon sucks after lunch drinks.

I think if you look at current 3rd world countries they are not far off culturally to 'Early Modern People'

There's a huge crutch on alcohol, it kills a lot of people.

But most people are not drunk (or tipsy) most of the time.
Here's the book on this topic-

>Maybe the discussion on their hiring team was "Well, if he pulls out some magic in the coding challenge..."

This is an unreasonable expectation. If it gets to that point then it should be a no-hire, don't waste the candidates time.
Ask HN: Is it front-end, frontend or front end?
Engineering things to work well and the troubleshooting process at a low level are one and the same. It's just that in some cases other people found these bugs and issues before you and fixed them. But this is the cost of OSS, you get awesome stuff for free (as in beer) and are expected to be on the hook for helping with this process. If you don't like it, pay somebody.

Really everyone could benefit from learning more about the systems they rely on such as Linux and observability tools like vmstat, etc. The less lucky guesses or cargo culted solutions you use the better.
Maybe the list doesn't have any reasoning but was picked to distract you into posting this comment.
This seems quite hyped advice in SV recently, but validation can be difficult for certain classes of businesses. For example, I recently spoke to a US startup founder who had failed in what is roughly our segment, burning $300k. His advice: validate, validate, validate! In our area, however, it is essentially impossible to do so without similar to launch expenses, so we are just running with a regular development trajectory (in a far cheaper and higher demand market with other positive attributes) and the broad assumption that people want to eat food - http://8-food.com/
The Liberals have frequently not been in power, as Nixon, Ford, Reagan and two Bushes show.

However, Trump broke all the rules when running for President (by, for example, crudely insulting opponents and by being a pathological liar) and he seems to be keen to break all the rules now.

The system worked when both Republicans and Democrats had a similar view of the democratic process, even if they differed on policies. Trump is systematically wrecking the process.

Plenty of people are theorizing about this turning into a de facto coup, including Michael Moore.

I would be inclined towards genuine antipathy towards corruption.

I have a brother that at one point regularly dealt with top levels of Chinese government. His summary was, "China is a country of crooks ruled by honest men; the USA is a country of honest men ruled by crooks." He's not sure which is worse in the end.

Based on that, I would bet on the top levels of the Chinese government being basically ethical (albeit within an ethical system that values life and liberty a lot less than we would).
>1. LVM snapshots are by default only taken once every 24 hours. YP happened to run one manually about 6 hours prior to the outage

>2. Regular backups seem to also only be taken once per 24 hours, though YP has not yet been able to figure out where they are stored. According to JN these don’t appear to be working, producing files only a few bytes in size.

>3. SH: It looks like pg_dump may be failing because PostgreSQL 9.2 binaries are being run instead of 9.6 binaries. This happens because omnibus only uses Pg 9.6 if data/PG_VERSION is set to 9.6, but on workers this file does not exist. As a result it defaults to 9.2, failing silently. No SQL dumps were made as a result. Fog gem may have cleaned out older backups.

The synchronisation process removes webhooks once it has synchronised data to staging. Unless we can pull these from a regular backup from the past 24 hours they will be lost
The replication procedure is super fragile, prone to error, relies on a handful of random shell scripts, and is badly documented

>5. Our backups to S3 apparently don’t work either: the bucket is empty

Sounds like it was only a matter of time before something like this happened. How could so many systems be not working and no one notice?
I know this is a risk, but I think science and tech have to be at the center because of their association with forward looking narratives. Part of the reframing has to be positioning science and tech as being at the service of constituencies that have been left behind in the past order. Trump has been able to conflate them with elitism because they have thrown their political weight behind a neoliberal political order. Since that's on the its way out, the door is open to align them with a new, more democratic political narrative.
The first amendment is an infernal deception that you don't ever need to invoke to tell the government it sucks. The deception is not in the freedom of the press but in the other part.
> No magsafe

Has anyone seen or personally heard of someone yanking their laptop, of any brand or model, onto the floor via the power cable? I haven't. I instinctively think it's a risk, but reality says otherwise. It seems to me like a solution looking for a problem; the only reason I ever suspected that it's a real problem is that Apple made the Magsafe connectors - maybe they had some data that I didn't. Now I suspect it was all to address unfounded fears in consumers.

I've seen it happen plenty of times with cell phones, however. I wouldn't mind a Magsafe connector for an iPhone.
It'll definitely be a priority now!

Thank you for the transparency. This is a good read and I'm going to be sharing it with coworkers tomorrow. :)
For the foreseeable future, machine learning experts will be in sufficient supply for them (i) to have wages which are considerably above zero and (ii) have the ability to raise capital from people that don't think they're commodity labour

(it cuts the other way too: if an oversupply of labour in a field as difficult-to-learn as ML does arise, the demand shortage causing wages to fall is almost certainly because ML techniques aren't giving companies and traders as much of a financial edge as they hoped for...)

Added bonus for the ML experts: in a lot of the possible areas they can choose to work in, their individual marginal contribution to the company's profitability is at least as quantifiable as that of a salesperson. In many areas of finance you can quantify the impact of an individual line of code!
Why, are you confused about whether to downvote me? I don't see (a) why it should matter or (b) that it's any of your business... The fact that you need to know the letter next to my name to evaluate my statement is exactly what is wrong with America.
People are drawn to this sort of thing because it evokes a certain sense of accidental surrealism. When you see an image like that in the middle of watching something else, your brain reacts to it. A good example might be the twins from The Shining, which Kubrick borrowed from Diane Arbus.

There's an artist by the name of Stan Brakhage who built an entire career out of exploring this effect. And once you watch one or two of his films you begin to see his influence everywhere.

The engineers that drew up the Tsar's plans for industrialization implemented them under Communism. There is nothing surprising about that.

Likewise, it is predictable that a centrally planned economy would be able to develop industrial goods for industrial needs, but fail at producing consumer goods, which ultimately catalyzed far more economic growth in capitalist countries, both because of the market segmentation that a central plan could not predict or accommodate as well as a free market, and also because the incentives for the creator and access to the means of the production (primarily startup capital) were easier to come by in capitalist economies.

I think your comparison with Hitler is lacking in depth, unless it was meant to be a dig at my comment, which I believe I have rebutted.

I fundamentally disagree with your final statement. The accumulation of physical resources and political power is and will always be intertwined. If you can name one example in all of human history (from agriculturalization onwards), whereupon the political system did not depend on the economic system and the economic system did not depend on the political system, then I will concede my point. Until then, I find your argument lacking.
Yes you have a right, and a duty, to be angry.

I say duty because it's our fault for not massively speaking up and demanding a radical change. We let companies get away with this, and it's not going to stop until we do something about it.

Unlucky mate. Even monkeys fall out of trees. Good luck with the fixing.
The courses are identical to the courses one would take if they were getting their Master's at Stanford - the only difference is that only four classes are required, while a Master's requires about 15.

I'm enrolled in Stanford's CS Master's program right now through the Honors Cooperative Program (which lets you get a Master's online while working in industry), and I'm currently planning on doing a dual specialization in Systems and AI. For the AI specialization I've already taken CS 221 and 229, and I'll have to take three more AI classes drawn from a list pretty similar to the Elective Courses list in the OP.
This has to be sarcasm right?
I just gave up arguing over the surveillance state with people. People just trust that the government had their best interests in mind, or they think that they're too unimportant for anyone to care about them.
The best system administrator is the one that has learned from their catastrophic fuck up.

To that effect, I still have the same job as I did before I ran "yum update" without knowing it attempts to do in place kernel upgrades. Which resulted in a corrupted RedHat installation on a server we could not turn off.
What resources would you recommend for getting started with Forth?
You're interpreting my comment too narrowly. I agree that the concentration of power is a big problem, in fact, the biggest. But most everyone is complicit, both through their actions and inactions. Nearly everyone is putting self-interest first and foremost, including most liberals/progressives. We are complicit when we vote for people like the Clintons into power to represent progressive values. We are complicit when we take higher paying jobs at companies that put profit over people and society (and thus act behave just like those CEOs). We are complicit when we try to handsomely reward ourselves via SV get-rich-quick schemes building products that no one is willing to pay for except the advertisers who bombard us with self-serving messages in turn turning the web into click-bait, fake-news viral hell.

Also see my other reply.
My naive hope is that, post-Trump, we'll see a change in the relative-strength of the Presidency versus the Congress.

Over the years Congress has given away a lot of cultural and practical power to the Presidency, partly because it allows them to look good in the short term, by pushing decisions over to the executive branch and then giving "oversight".
> How do people still not get this? The First Amendment is a limitation on the government of the United States. Period. It does not apply to other countries. It does not apply to private entities within the United States. It does not apply to Facebook, Twitter, Reddit or any other social media.

To be fair, most of the time I hear your complaint, the people complaining about the loss of free speech has nothing to do with the Constitution (though that isn't the case in this instance, of course). It's possible to oppose certain speech restrictions as damaging to a community you care about and to be upset when those restrictions arise. Not for constitutional reasons, but for reasons having to do with the health and ethical grounding of a community.

Though this is just my sample: It's of course possible that we are exposed to very different circles and that you're more often exposed to "Reddit can't ban this subreddit! It's unconstitutional!". If so, I'm sorry, that must blow
I was rejected for by one for not doing TDD because I checked in the new test and code in the same commit. I suspect some of it is part of their "we can't find any Australians to fill the role" 457 requirement.

Also, if a code test takes 7 hours (some take days) then they are limiting themselves to the already unemployed, so probably not paying well.

I'll be writing a blog post in the coming week and publishing it on HN regarding how we do it; its a simpler method I think, though we aren't the scale of Etsy yet, but should be useful for smaller startups to adopt.

And if we don't take a stand then it's going to be like that forever. We can't let companies continue to get away with this.

Xinerama can be enabled but has been deprecated for a long time now (circa before I built said desktop). If you do decide to use it, you'll have to learn to live with the many problems and bugs that comes with using something that hasn't been updated in years.

> This constant regression in features is what I dislike most about Linux lately. Eternal September in software form.

This is what pushed me from using Linux full time for almost a decade to jumping ship to Apple a year ago. That and people like AsyncAwait who never seem to respond to people like me who post concrete real world problems despite claiming everything negative is FUD.
Maybe that's because for many people, the belief that communism=authoritarianism was propaganda, spoon-fed at an early age and whipped up by the government at regular intervals to keep people afraid of the other and from questioning their present authority.

Same goes for terrorism these days. "If you're not with us you're against us," was the phrase I believe Bush the junior liked to tell us.

> Create issue to change terminal PS1 format/colours to make it clear whether you’re using production or staging (red production, yellow staging)
I've been interviewed many many times in my career. I switched jobs about 7 times always going through the standard hiring process. Looking for better opportunities and higher challenges. So, this is based on my knowledge and experience I'd say. It's subjective indeed, but I've interviewed candidates as well from junior to staff and I know when an interviewer is happy or not. Still subjective though.

prestigious = Google/FB etc.

Most of the questions I get lead to a "you know it" or "you don't know it" kind of answers. If you know it then you explain how it works. If not, I personally consider that a failure. Sometimes we go into edge cases, same scenario... you know when you give the right answer or if you doubt then it's a failure. In terms of coding challenges on a shared code collaboration tool, I would say that I come up with a working solution, on time, using a great approach. I might have failed one or 2 coding challenges (fail = needed a tip to move forward), but I knew right away I wouldn't count on these interviews. Some interviewers would verbally approve my solution, some would simply move on to the next question.

From what I've been doing in the past, this would easily move the process to the next step or onsite interview.
I'm still holding out for official support of external GPU enclosures. The hardware already supports driving an external GPU over thunderbolt. People have hacked the software to work, but its still buggy. And right now it requires turning off some macos security features so they can inject 3rd party kexts.

I'd love to have an external desktop class GPU at home so I can play games or goof around with OpenCL and VR. Then I can simply unplug the laptop & use the integrated graphics chip when I'm on the road and need power efficiency.
