I still need to find the time figure out LLVM IR, do you have anything easier to read through than the official docs?
Depends on what you're trying to do.

If it's something that really can be split into small parallel jobs, then NIFs make sense here; the overhead is pretty low, since the NIFs are linked into the VM itself.

If it's something that can't be easily split into small parallel jobs, then you might want to go with a port, such that the long-running job doesn't hang your whole Erlang VM.

I really dislike how fast icons have been changing over the last several years. Everyone has an opinion, and I am glad Microsoft went with something a bit more recognizable over what they felt was pure. The new icon matches the "send" mentality over the "share" social trope.

It is, but it's also important not to alienate the person you're trying to help.

I'm not being sarcastic - you're absolutely right - but it's very easy to come across as spouting happy-clappy cliches ("it gets better!"), or claiming to know their life situation better than they do.

I could go for a "self driving is on, not my fault" model.

If insurance rates are lower for a car with self driving features, then that 10k extra doesn't seem as bad.

I imagine the actual hardware doesn't cost too much so in the long term should be able to be standard in all vehicles.

Celery Distributed Task Queue in Go
I'm not a developer but just last week I was visiting one of our locations where a lot of the people I work with are actually located. I was down there for a specific meeting but I bumped into enough people and had serendipitous conversations with them that I left saying to myself that I should really go down there more often.

To your other point, communication tools are still pretty limited. IM/Slack/IRC are good for some things though a lot of people I work with don't use them. I've yet to see anything that remotely compares to being together in a conference room for high bandwidth interactions.

Do you have some simple pseudo-code?

And are you using the same number of instructions in both cases?

Note also: If you are moving data structures of different sizes, you are not using the same number of instructions(calculations), as the challenge required.

Unless you have a workload that won't fit on a single machine, a distributed database isn't really an advantage over a single master with one or more appropriate replicas that are available for failover.
I don't think those links support your claim. The Judgment of Paris was between high-end California and Bordeaux wines. The received wisdom of the time was that California Bordeaux-style wines (or, more generally, anything from the New World) were inferior to true Bordeaux wines. The Judgment of Paris showed that wasn't true. But they certainly didn't use California table wine.

And the study you link to just seems to show that judges don't rank wines in competition very consistently. I don't think that table wines are often entered into these sorts of competitions. I'm fairly confident that someone with a good palette could distinguish between a high-end Bordeaux and Two-Buck Chuck.

Two reasons:

* I expect a larger load in the future,

* I want multiple nodes not just for speed, but mostly for data replication.
What is the reasoning behind not using sharding and homing each customer to a replica set?

How did you deal with customers growing large or spiking in usage? How did you manage such hot spots?

Sharding is one of the key benefits of MongoDB (and frankly most NoSQL solutions). Of course, you have to pick a good shard key.

One reason I can think of is that IMO sharding on MongoDB before version 2.4 had too many issues to be production reliable. If Parse started with MongoDB 2.2 or earlier, then I can see how they would avoid sharding.
Remote employees' market is the entire world though, that's the part you're not taking into account. Your competition is the other NYC or Boston or SFO or wherever companies that are willing to hire me and pay me a generally competitive rate (very roughly 80-100% of SF pay, in my experience). Sure, you don't have to compete with a GoogFaceAzon offer, but you do have to compete with the companies similar to yours that do pay a more globally competitive rate.

There's a very important difference between: "SFO is very expensive so we have to pay people who live there more" and "we can pay people who don't live in SFO less"

I can think of one great example of this. Charles Lindbergh won the Pulitzer prize in 1954 for his Spirit of St. Louis autobiography. He worked on it for 15 years and refused to use a ghost writer, and the result was a masterpiece. Between his poetic writing style and the mountains of fascinating details leading up to the historic trans-Atlantic flight, I wouldn't hesitate to rank it as the most inspiring book I have ever read.

It's true that Wayland uses more RAM and if you don't have enough swapping will kill you. But in this case (and others) RAM use is inversely correlated with performance. For example Wayland uses more RAM as full backing buffers for every window, and this actually makes moving windows around faster because it doesn't have to ask the app to re-draw exposed areas. Unless you spill into swap, then you are indeed screwed.

Maybe you're looking for event sourcing? It's great in theory but for all the reading I've done I haven't been able to find any case studies on it working well in practice
As someone who's gone through hired's process last year with a close friend, I feel this does a disservice. Primarily because COL is never 1:1 in spite of the very best analysis available and I feel like this becomes a credible source those in hiring positions. The train of thought goes something like this, seemingly from anecdotal evidence from my close friend: "Oh you're making $70K in Atlanta as a PHP developer? That's like $150K in SF!" (the SF value was plucked out of thin air because I don't quite know the calculation). When the reality is in Atlanta that's well below market rate for a seasoned developer. This is also the state of their data compiled from last year but I suspect more than most will treat it as a projection or try to run the increase/decrease as one.

My understanding may be seriously flawed because I view salary negotiations as nowhere close to a zero sum game it should at least attempt to aspire to be. From the get go, everything is entirely skewed in the employer's favor and this just feels like more ammunition.

My close friend and I shared the train of thought that if a company based in SF has $x for developers, while they can likely get more remote developers for the total at their COL decrease, splitting some of the difference with those employees would go quite a long way. Employees likely wouldn't see that total compensation range anywhere else in their current location and that difference becomes its own motivator, at least for someone like me who has struggled to reach market rate. It becomes a double edged sword when that offer is vastly above market rate as finding another job in that range would be increasingly difficult. Employees would likely be way more tempted to stay well after burn out sets in because what should be closer to the norm becomes more of a golden ticket.
You seem to work at a horrible place, with abrasive characters.

It begins with the fact that the company's code needs documentation. I'm a big proponent of Robert C. Martin's "Clean Code" and the idea that code should read like prose - by reading the code, its purpose and ideas should come across naturally.

It ends with people asking "Didn't we already talk about this?".

Is this your first job? Don't let yourself get treated like this.

5 ways to build a “Silicon Valley” career
Per the Daily Mail:

"Prosecutors have insisted they will not go easy on Dani Mathers, the former Playboy playmate who took a photo of a naked, 70-year-old woman in a gym and posted it on Snapchat.

The model has asked Los Angeles City Attorneys not to send her to jail, saying she will undergo counseling and anti-bullying courses instead.

She also said that she would go around to schools and talk about how harmful bullying is.

But prosecutors scoffed at her attempts at mercy, claiming that she never apologized to the victim in person, TMZ reported.

If convicted, she faces up to six months in jail for invasion of privacy, and a $1,000 fine."
Err most common meters are not rated for 1000V and especially not mains current levels, not even a lot of nicer ones. Are you maybe thinking the probes? Those usually have much higher ratings than the meter. Browsing Amazon...

* Fluke 113 - $110 CAT IV 600V

* INNOVA 3320 - $25 CAT I 300V

* Mastech MS8229 - $50 This one is CAT II 1000V

* Extech EX330 - $50 CAT III 600V

* Brymen BM235 - $125 also CAT II 1000V

* Etekcity MSR-U1000 - $40, CAT III 1000V <- definite winner if it's true

All of those except the INNOVA would be ok to test on an outlet in terms of their safety rating, but most of the really cheap meters I found (<$15) are CAT I rated, meaning not safe to plug into the wall because they aren't rated for high power circuits. Sure you'll probably be OK, but I'd rather be confident.

My comment though was more along the lines of whether or not you trust their ratings. For example, I'm kind of suspicious of the rating on that Etekcity meter and I don't know if I'd be comfortable plugging it in to something really killer. My point was, if you want to really be confident you have to pay for the engineering and legal liability.
This one is about propaganda:

Pretty sure those investors are counting on a pay day. One that comes only if Tesla hits its 500k production goal by the end of next year. Tesla has already worn out its welcome with investors, hence selling magic beans in order to raise $370M via Model 3 preorder deposits. It's do or die for them now. GM is catching up, even beat Tesla to the Everyman's car, and has capital to burn.

Personally, I'm rooting for them. But they only get to play altruist if they make it pay for the investors.

Among others this is probably confirmation bias at work. I'm feeling exactly the same right now.
I at least agree there are lots of people in this world who are obsessed with getting in other's business and unnecessarily making it theirs, whether it's sex or abortions or bathrooms or guns.

But rather than taking things for granted I think it's the opposite.

For example, your statement about it being hard/easy to find relationship seems to assume that trying to find love should just be acceptable and not hard in most social contexts, whereas I think it's often obnoxious regardless of orientation/identity and probably best reserved for contexts where it's explicitly okay.

Likewise, I agree that understanding yourself and your own feelings is really important, but I'm not sure why everyone's own internal voyage of discovery is something to be worn on on the sleeve more like it's some security blanket and less like it's as intrinsic to them as gravity. I'd actually posit that past a certain point a need for social acknowledgment of one's identity suggests some level of discomfort and uncertainty with it, which is fine. But why it's something everybody has to parse when they're just trying to bag your groceries or go over a quarterly report or something is beyond me.

I do think there is something to "targeting" as you put it, or people not minding their own business as I may have put it. But I'm also definitely naive enough to think that telling those people to mind their own business shouldn't require a particular identity.
I'm using Rust in exactly that capacity (along with ports). In fact, if it weren't for Rust, I'd probably steer clear from writing my own NIFs for the sake of my own sanity; coming from the Perl 5 world, where XS is king, I'm not exactly keen on splaying open Erlang's C API unless I have a language with which to do so without slicing off my own leg.

(Ports, on the other hand, are inherently safer due to being isolated from the Erlang VM, such that even if they crash they don't bring down the whole VM. They also communicate over STDIO, meaning that I'm free to use them to interface with components written in languages with less-than-pleasant methods of achieving C ABI compatibility, like Perl 5 and Ruby when not augmented with extra packages.)

On that note, Rust also has some wonderful implications for the Perl 5 world in terms of providing some semblance of safety around native Perl extensions. Same deal for Perl 6 (though its FFI mechanisms are infinitely nicer than Perl 5's).

I've seen:

1) Incorrect ordering of output "Buzz Fizz"

2) Printing only Fizz or Buzz for 15.

3) Starting at a number different to 1 (say 0)

4) Off by one error at the end (going to 99, instead of 100)

5) Forgetting to print out the number when neither Fizz nor Buzz is output (first output is Fizz for 3)

6) Always printing out the number. (3 Fizz)

and that's the people who can code at all.

Then you get people who can't code, and can't even produce a for loop.

Oh and extra points for arguing about the solution being correct, particularly after prompting that there is a bug "Is it correctly dealing with 15?" is a pretty huge hint that there's a bug.
Brainstorm new startup ideas
Not sure why there was such a knee-jerk reaction, but it's actually fairly straight forward and not scammy at all. You're performing two trades, using a money market ETF that trades at the currency exchange rate, and paying standard brokerage fees + spread instead of currency conversion fees.

If you pay $20 in fees + spread for 2 trades, that'll be the cost of the conversion. For a $10k conversion, that's 0.2%. Unless you're suggesting that a money market ETF is prone to manipulation, your brokerage is going to scam you, or you don't like to deal with taxes on your stock purchases/sales, there isn't much drawback other than time. The larger the amount though, the more it'll potentially be worthwhile.

Practical Linux Pipelining
You are right, that was not a good choice of words. What i was getting at is that the article reads as "i was constantly fighting Rdb and Pg solved all my problems" and even if ppl don't make judgements on the developers they do so on the tool and that kind of remains in your brain, you attach a stigma to the tool and never consider it even though it will get a lot better if you just give it time. For example, i tried pg back in 2000 something, did just a stupid benchmark on how fast it does a count, compared it to mysql and never looked back, so for 10 years i ignored pg because of that stupid test and because in my brain there was this idea that it's slow. Thank god i somehow got over that ...
