This is basically payback time for Korean people. Lee is partly paying for sins of his father and grandfather.

In the 60s, his grandfather got slapped on the wrist for major tax evasion charges.

In 2000s, his father basically got off scot-free for tax evasion and having $4 billion in political slush fund.

And just like his Dad and Grandfather, he also 'almost' got away with bribery charge, when presiding judge unexpectedly kibosh-ed the case a few weeks ago, much to chagrin of special prosecutors that brought charges against him.

National wide outrage ensued, and then the appeal followed. Now he is in the slammer awaiting trial.

People are so pissed off, even if his hands were completely clean, they may have to put him away. (figure of speech)
Happy to see the modules chapter and the testing chapter early enough in the book.

Thanks. The new format looks a lot better, IMHO.
I also sold my startup. same story as far as revenue, exit etc. I'm not sure that selling your company was the reason for your social issues.

I've had the best year of my life post acquisition - spending more time with family, friends and thinking what's next. constantly thinking about what's next, it's actually annoying that I can't turn it off.

The "how much did you make" question is super annoying and it happens but generally those around me are respctful and understand that I still plan to work and in many ways will need to. Not enough to do nothing, enough to choose something meaningful and not waste our precious time.

My only advice to you is don't be afraid to reconnect with some old friends and embrace new ones, especially friends of friend who don't know much about your exit and ask to hang out with you because of who you are when they interact with you sans knowing your financial history.
A recent Python project I was building for AWS Lambda required lxml and thus required C extensions for libxml2 and libxslt.

I struggled getting that package built and ended up solving it with Docker.

I'd appreciate some critical feedback so I can improve this article. I am relatively new to Python, Docker and Lambda so I am sure there is a lot of room for optimization here.
> It's impossible to 'look at someone like a little girl'. It's mostly likely that these people either feel insecure, or, they project certain qualities upon the author.

It's definitely possible to have a look in your eyes and facial expression and body language that clearly says "I'm not taking you seriously right now."
First i've seen this, and I'm already excited for it. Love Sim games, love Airports.
There are plenty of ways to verify for identity and skill level that don't come with the automatic implication of dishonesty. For example, even exactly the same test could be done using a testing center... such as those physical testing locations administered by PAN, one of which I visited once upon a time as part of a job application in a different field.
This unfinished one. Despite being unfinished, I still preferred the content over the current official one.
Are Korea's other families similarly vulnerable?
If the penetration depth is << 1 mm, I can't imagine that ocular heating would be an issue. And I'd expect that power levels would be too low to heat metal. But maybe so.
Original title: "End of fillings in sight as scientists find Alzheimer's drug makes teeth grow back", but that is even more misleading.

The drug doesn't make lost teeth "grow back", but it can be used topically to prompt dentin regrowth/recovery in a decayed tooth, which is still pretty cool.
Although, you could argue that an attacker who is targeting self-driving cars could modify the sign in a way that is unnoticeable to humans, but greatly affects how the self-driving car interprets the sign.

Eg. look at the panda images at the start of the linked post. The third image looks like a panda to humans (and most humans probably wouldn't be able to see the difference between the first and third images), but it greatly affects the machine learning interpretation.

By modifying the sign in this way, if it is possible, it would be much harder to detect and enforce against than it would be if the attacker was targeting human drivers.

Material things do not make people happy, at all.

This! This is the found God moment everyone needs to come to. We will all die. You had better get your eternity in order. Answer that call within, and go find the true "why" that is eating at you on the inside. Read Acts 2:38.
There are places to go find a secure, long career.

I'm coming up on 14 years at my current company (developer to executive) and there's a developer working here who is longer tenured than me and still happily coding away. Of course, there's some element of luck of finding a good place, with a good business model, good leadership, good execution, not getting hit by a meteor, etc, but it's clear that not everyone job hops every 2 years.

You won't find me as an 80-year old technologist, because I'll have made way more than enough to retire 25 years before then.

I have been reading it as well. For my taste, it is a bit too verbose.

I like to see something along the lines of the K&R book or the GoPL book. I was hoping that "Programming Rust" is such a book, but I was disappointed. And (may be it is just me) I like to see exercises in Programming books.
I had always wondered why aspirin tended to smell like vinegar and rarely helped with headaches. It's quite satisfying to have an explanation for both.

She gave a great keynote on this subject at NAACL 2016. The conference papers are available online.
This depends on the particulars of what happened, and it's going to be difficult for most non-experts to navigate, in the same fashion as "determine whether this code is Python or Ruby" is difficult if you've never seen a command line.

Say you're talking to your friendly neighborhood CBP officer and they say this:

"I think you're an immigration risk and, accordingly, I'm issuing an Order for Expedited Removal. You get on the next plane back home." Your passport gets tagged with a 5 year timeout.

However, they could say something like:

"I think you're not eligible for the Visa Waiver Program, because some factors suggest you're an immigration risk. I recommend you withdraw your application for entry into the United States and voluntarily get on the next plane back home." You will not get timed out for 5 years.

Note that the second one is neither a recommendation nor a request.

How did this get so high up on HN? This is in no way a breakthrough.

The volume of scans and age ranges help nail down etiology, but the article and commentary here suggest that we didn't know what brain structures were involved or that ADHD is a "brain based disorder."

We've been doing MRI research on ADHD for decades[0] and independent longitudinal studies that track ADHD children into adulthood[1].

Do a search for "Lorentz attractor". It's the result of an early numerical weather model.

The weather is a particular point on the twisted surface; it is impossible to calculate what point you'll reach at a given time, for reasons that you'll find in a search for "Lyapurnov exponent".

The climate is the butterfly shape. If you run the simulation with different parameters, you can look and see how this changes.

The Lorentz equations are much simpler than a realistic weather model, but the same principles apply to the complicated models, and to the laws of physics that the atmosphere actually follows.
The amount of rejection this name evokes is considerable. Maybe they should think about branding, unless their target is to stay in the fringe.
And it allows you to write specific queries that can then be post filtered / ordered / paginated by a more general mechanism.

Or you can write queries and play around with loading strategies later / change them over time as the shape of the data changes without having to change any other code.

Every time the ORM thing comes up on HN most people jump on the ORMs are evil bandwagon. I think sqlalchemy is probably a bit of an exception in terms of just how flexible it is, however in my experience you get all the benefits with next to no downside (performance overhead being the most obvious). I generally wouldn't start a project without it these days.
R and Excel have benefits that in many ways do not overlap, I use both to good effect. But Excel has and will continue to be responsible for major errors in data analysis [1,2]. Its default autoformat/correct behaviour will without fail screw up your data at some point. Therefore, although you make a valid point, I wouldn't go so far as to say it is the 'better' choice.

The developers in the article make the same mistake - using native SQL "for performance" instead of working with Hibernate.

I read the title as referring to the (male) author's career; I understood him to be telling his own story through these hypothetical characters.

That's true whether or not your are successful.

In any case, the only people who are genuinely happy about your success are your parents.
Unfortunately, I no longer have very many friends. I worked so hard in my 20s and early 30s that I let my closest relationships lapse in the name of making money. It’s tough to keep friends around when you’re either working, or work is on your mind 24/7.

One of the unfortunate side effects of hustle/grit/what have you, that I myself experienced and can relate to the author.
A long time ago, in a programming language now forgotten (gosu) some interns and I created a SQL typeloader that allowed you to define your domain in SQL DDL files and then write query files in SQL that were accessible, type safe, directly from Gosu:

https://github.com/gosu-lang/ragnardb

https://github.com/gosu-lang/ragnardb-test

No codegen, just made SQL resources a top level type safe resource you could work with.

I liked the idea a lot.

Don't take this guys negative position to heart - personally, I think he's basically wrong.

Your portfolio is actually pretty decent - especially for someone so young.

You're only 2.5 years out of school and you clearly are a multi-skilled individual with a solid ability to 'get things done' (the best skill ever) - especially wherein you've clearly required a number of different skills.

I'd suggest that being young and wanting to work remotely, or go to 'a foreign country' is hard. Immigration laws are real, and they are a barrier.

Try searching for something closer to home, or facilitating your career by getting some kind of 'status' in the US so that employers there can hire you. (Easier said than done, I know).

Keep your chin up, I would hire you in an instant if I had a role for you.
The relationship among different Chaebol families is less like different Mafia factions, and more like different Wall Street bankers. They may compete in the market, but they're all in the same boat, and they have a vested shared interest in keeping themselves largely out of the law's reach.

Moreover, virtually all of them are connected to each other (and to most powerful politicians) via marriages. In a sense, they are one big (corrupt and powerful) family.
I did not modify anything Citus related, just wrote scripts that are using their API.

Also the code is messy (as everything built for an in-house use).
Which, incidentally, was released without a rating because the MPAA wanted to rate it as NC-17.
I'm not exactly a Trump fan, but why is Clinton's daughter rolling into a $600.000 job at NBC straight out of college not considered 'bribing close friends for political favor'? The US is so fucked up politically..
Yeah, I don't usually post an article I've written myself here, since most aren't relevant to Hacker News. But in this case, I think it's important for as many people to know about the state of the UK education and computer science teaching's terrible quality as possible.

We cannot afford to see kids leave school at 16 (or even start university to learn computer science at 18) with no knowledge of how to program or develop anything.

What's worse, this isn't even ancient history. I mean, I'm 26 at the moment, and this is literally all I was taught about IT and computer science through high school and sixth form college. We've got a whole generation (or more) of young people who could be getting started in the tech industry but don't anything other than how to type out a few documents in Microsoft Word. I actually suspect it might even be one of the reasons why London doesn't have as many successful startups as the US and Silicon Valley. Because the skillsets necessary to succeed with a web business just aren't here.

Either way, it needs to be fixed pronto. Otherwise we will continue to have a situation where most of the UK knows nothing more than how to use Microsoft Office programs and the odd web browser.
Funny that. The larger our (not particularly large) JIRA account gets, the slower it performs. Very noticeably so.
Ah ha! Yeah, so it makes sense that the latest version would need the latest version of the compiler. You could use the previous version and it should still work. Usually, when a project requires a new Rust version, there's a bump to whichever version determines compatibility. (for x.y.z, x if x != and y if x == 0) Given that you said it was breaking, I thought you meant you had a project that suddenly stopped working, my bad.

For now, that's the standard way, at some point, we might pull a "cargo add" command into core, but there's some blocking on parsing.
YC’s Paul Graham: The Complete Interview (2013)
> common of a problem to have to ship code that has to work with different database

when you are not writing a SaaS, but shipping a piece of software for a customer to run on their own server, it's a very common use case to support different database vendors - especially in enterprise software.
What is the best place to start if I want to learn Go? Any books? Tutorials?
Definitely minimizing wasted empty seats. Additionally, by encouraging people to book far enough ahead, they can change equipment to match the demand or add another flight to that day.

It also allows them to price discriminate against business travelers who tend to have deeper pockets (flights expensed to their company) and tend to make lots of last minute travel changes (need another day to close a deal, etc). Losing the ability to ramp up the price on these types of travelers would mean higher fares for everyone and likely fewer ticket sales.
She's also a daughter of the former president(dictator) who modernized South Korea. Her father was the main reason why people either voted or didn't vote for her. When she was elected it came as a shock to most liberal people just like when Trump won.

This has nothing to do with the formal specification work.
I think you've somewhere lost the plot of what Google has achieved here, and in no way does it detract from running Spanner against Jepsen.

Google is claiming they've built a geographically distributed CP system with linearizability and 99.999% global availability. They haven't defeated CAP because A is about total availability in the face of network failures. But for most practical purposes they've achieved exactly what most people want in their database. Consistent and mostly available except perhaps 30 seconds a year. That is why it is completely acceptable for Eric to say this is a "effectively" a CA system.

Eric was hired to help BUILD this, not market it.

Aphyr also has no issues with Eric's comments (read Twitter) - Spanner a CP system with better latency due to the use of TrueTime.
I would say so.

I know someone who does private Pilates training at homes of ultra rich families in Seoul.

Because of the fall outs from this scandal, she is saying that all her clients are cutting activities and laying low.

Older generation of Koreans in general have more lax attitudes about political abuses by the wealthy families because they also indirectly benefited from the cozy conglomerate & government relationships, and saw Korean rise from abject poverty.

No so with the younger generations born after the 60s. They've basically had it with the current soul-crushing system, and are desperately hoping for radical reform. And in doing so, they're willing to watch their world burn.
Young people are tolerant of other people, except others’ intolerance
Question here is about they using the new model as a smoke curtain for the price hike.

All their marketing during the change was how it was cheaper. When it clearly was over double the price. And your argument is "it is cheaper if you are not using". So good luck going to a hotel and not booking any room so it can be cheaper.
Ouch that is awful. Sounds like ORD, that's the only airport I've been to that consistently sucked in TSA lines.
West Elm makes a living by being "not Ikea". You have to be willing to drop 4x the price on any piece of furniture to get something that's marginally better than Ikea. West Elm sells the same quality (or worse) with a 50% markup. The only problem is Ikea is too affordable so it seems "lazy".

Not saying the situations are that closely analogous, but a huge part of high level languages is not worrying about that issue.
Right, stop making pained carpentry analogies. I couldn't build a wooden box to save my life, but I do have 7 years of professional software experience. I would much prefer if you drew from that experience.
I've read your comment several times, but I'm not sure what you're saying, actually. Certainly functions have been described in several books. No one is said that functions are the only design pattern.
It would be great if you could provide evidence that this occurred, and that it was bribery in particular. There are many possible reasons it could have occurred; I feel that we don't benefit from more speculation about politics.
only if it is reported.

Most people will just ignore it and call a fluke. Just like everyone does when their servers signatures changes. everyone just save the new key and type their passwords away ;)
On the other hand, most friendships die out when people reach their late 20s (career, moving elsewhere, kids, marriage) so it might have been inevitable even if you didnt do a startup.
What if normalness and humanity are not synonyms? Could it be our responsibility to evaluate what's good and what's bad for society independent of other' opinions?
To be fair, her dad was an infamous "shaman-esque pseudo-Christian cult leader" who was the mentor to the former President and used his friendship to solicit bribes.

And her and her mother are accused of laundering $1 billion. At only 20 years old, it'd be fascinating to hear her philosophy/perception of business and life.
Couldn't this kind of problem be mitigated by some form of coordination between vehicles? I think a fully automated fleet would have an overall net positive effect, due to, for example, improving the reaction time to traffic lights (or eliminating them altogether).

When we started out, we were just building a bot (droid) to manage our deep learning workflows (scheduling jobs, logging results, etc.)

So, Flow + Droid => Floyd. Also, a hat tip to one of my favorite bands :)
I'd mostly be worried about that case if they, afterwards, decided to sue me for copyright infringement of my own code. I expect that that could be a difficult situation to explain in court. "Yes, your honor, I wrote the software, gave it away for free, and said that someone else could take credit." It just sounds weird, and I think it'd be a somewhat foreign concept for most people.

If I'm putting my stuff out on WTFPL, it basically implies that I'm already OK with someone taking it, relicensing it, and distributing it under a new license (and even under a new attribution). Personally, I would have a problem with it, so I've never licensed anything under WTFPL.
It is worth noting that you can also find fulfillment in intangible things that are not religiously oriented. Teaching/taking courses, artistic endeavors, and volunteering come to mind.
When I went to the US two years ago I got LTE in the Baltimire, Washington DC and Los Angeles areas so you guys do have true 4G. The issue is more the amount of LTE coverage avaliable which isn't that great outside of the main cities (or at least it wasn't at the time I visited).
I think you missed the point, Netflix evacuating a region is not the same thing as that region failing. If the whole region goes down, their (AWS's) total capacity just took a major hit and unless they have obscenely over-provisioned (they haven't), shit is going to hit the fan when people start spinning up stuff in the remaining regions to make up for the loss.
Ha, classic straw man argument
It's not about nuance. It's just echo chambers reinforced by the media those in support or denial consume:

Consolidation of corporate media combined with algorithms of biggest, online providers have really cemented the effect in. Past few years, esp election, had strongest effects on isolation and reinforcement I've ever seen.

Is it possible that his experience is not representative?

Edit: Digging a bit further, it looks like the startup that he sold was Valet Gourmet which was a food delivery business in North Carolina and he worked on it for ~12 years. That's probably a bit longer than the tech startup timelines we tend to think of here.
