"By giving such speakers a forum, they're endorsing that such views are worthy of being heard or debated"

Exactly. Free and open debate of controversial ideas, however heinous, say in a classroom setting is very different from actively providing hate-mongers a prominent forum from which to spread their hate. Former is academic freedom, the latter is a political decision.

Like this 850 page behemoth that I wrote a driver for:

So many undocumented pieces and workarounds for silicon bugs, etc. Luckily there is a Linux driver to refer to, but still...yuck.
I will say that my only experience with sacrificial anodes is that they help but don't prevent corrosion entirely. We had screws starting to turn to dust from a couple hundred hours of pool water exposure even with a sizeable anode. Maybe it wasn't in sufficient contact or whatever. They're unlikely to be curealls anyway.
SQream DB (http://www.sqream.com) is an SQL analytics database which uses GPUs.
It is on both AWS P2 and Azure NC machines, and it can do very fast analytics on hundreds of raw terabytes on those.

Having said that, on-premise or bare-metal is about 25% faster than AWS P2 for large datasets (over 2TB). For smaller datasets that may fit in-memory, they function about the same.
Curious how a cleaning company (Hogaru) basically identical to Homejoy that shut down and failed can simply focus on another market (country) and still get into YC? If it doesn't work in the US (arguably the best market in the world), what conditions make it more likely to succeed in South America?

FYI, I spent 2 months in Chile as a digital nomad, and quite honestly most people in South America don't have a lot of disposable income. House cleaning is definitely a luxury item there, way less common than the US.

There is also a German startup Helpling doing the exact thing for the German market (which in my opinion is a better market). https://www.helpling.de

Start-Up R&D Tax Credit Calculator
Mods / Dang, the actual title is "Saving 80% in 90 Seconds?"
"When Tech Makes Insurance 5x Cheaper",

The tldr is: "our acquisition costs are already 10x lower than legacy carriers."
Of course, but when the decision of where the workers pay is on that scale is taken out of the hands of the workers, it tends towards table scraps then full value.
GPUs have over 3000 cores nowadays (http://images.nvidia.com/content/tesla/pdf/nvidia-tesla-p100...)
For the Cortex series, at least -- a full trace probe will give you a buffer that allows essentially realtime instruction view, global, long-term recording of all executed instructions and memory accesses, etc. (I imagine the same idea is prevalent among all tracers, modulo whatever vendor-specific addons they have.)

An example are SEGGER products -- their ordinary JLink products (JTAG/SWD) vs their J-Trace series (dual Cortex Trace/JTAG) -- https://www.segger.com/jtrace-pro-cortex-m.html -- The difference is somewhere in the realm of $1000, in this case (plus some other CPU support differences). Their tools are even fancy enough to reconstruct the instruction trace back into live code coverage/profiling reports (using the DWARF information). Your IDE "populates" the report live as the trace comes in.

(As a side note, SEGGER makes an excellent and affordable JTAG probe if you're new to embedded stuff like me and using ARM systems. It's a standard probe but comes with a _lot_ of very useful features and is standard GDB-compatible -- the RTT features are much nicer and faster than printing over UART/SWO, for example. The non-commercial, basic version is only $60 too, so it's very affordable. I have one along with my BusBlaster for OpenOCD setups.)
remove_if is a convenience method; for full generality you can use remove_copy_if. I don't see how any of this allows you to achieve your idea of two independent containers backed by the same storage and thereby eliminate the extra step of calling resize.
"Bad ideas fall to reasoned debate"

Clearly not. Haven't we learnt anything from the recent victory of bad, horrible hateful ideas on the platform of media manipulation and louder-than-thou debating techniques?
> Bad ideas fall to reasoned debate.

No, they don't. For that to work, this requires the proponents of bad ideas to respond to logic, and for the acolytes of reprehensible ideas to be ashamed of what they are doing.

The skinhead shouting "Hitler did nothing wrong" isn't going to back down when you call him out for what he is, and he isn't going to be convinced by logic, facts, or rationality.

If he were, the second world war would have been called "World Rational Debate Competition, Part II."

Likewise, the religious fundamentalist isn't going to back down, or stop preaching hate, just because you point out the absurdities and inconsistencies in his holy book, or the hypocrisy in his prattle.

For some reason, though, liberals are falling head-over-heels to defend the right of the former to amplify his message.

Freedom of political discourse is not fundamentally incompatible with zero tolerance of fascism - just like freedom of religion is not fundamentally incompatible with zero tolerance of violent fanaticism.

What is fundamentally incompatible in a tolerant society, is toleration of intolerance.
Bread Time: Unsolicited Redesigns
Ironically the example given (Amazon) does include the hiring manager and engineers from the team in every interview loop.

Teams do their own hiring which has its downsides in terms of consistent quality, but does mean you will be interviewed by the direct manager.
The only "s" I see is in 'sgtatham' and 'releases'. If the webpage that lists the link is unsecured, who's to say that the listed links are valid?

That's an interesting point, otherwise I'd say it's basically the Windows equivalent of LD_PRELOAD. Running executables from the "downloads" directory is certainly a thing though, never realized the security implication there (beyond trusting the download natch)
Seeing a living breathing hue-man reminds me that none of the projects I use happen for free. And seeing people being turned into marketing material also reminds me that Github ain't free either.
> There are doors that close when you do not have a college degree

The question then is, are those doors worth opening? Most jobs ads I see with "requires degree in CS" are for large boring companies and government agencies.
It's not too obvious, but this is a Github "Story" (not just the profile of an OSS contributor). Pretty interesting content in the article. I know of her from Twitter (guess I randomly followed some time ago) - definitely worth a follow.
I use Instacart because I don't own a car and convenience. When I'm making $60 an hour overtime during the weekend for a 12-14 hour shift, you bet I'm going to be using Instacart for a nominal 10% markup for groceries from Costco.
It depends on how much equity you're getting. If you're getting 1% and it looks like it's going to be the next Google then that's a great deal. If you're getting 0.1% for something that will probably only be moderately successful at best then it's a terrible deal.
I just went through a long period of self reflection that I found very helpful. It wasn't easy, but there wasn't really another option as I didn't have the energy to try new things. Now I am doing new things again and it is of course helpful, but I can't discount the benefit that reflection provided.
Not sure why I got down voted. What I am saying here is - from the university point of view, if universities are worried that the platform is used for spreading fears via nonintellectual arguments, they can create a framework to mitigate such problems... I dont know why I got downvoted, please attempt to understand the point I am making here before down voting me.

I dont think universities should shut down the other side, but they can create a framework for communicating ideas .... one way OXFORD does it is via debating (which you can find on youtube).
Then again one glance at stuff like what happened to PewDiePie with the mainstream media smear campaign started by WSJ and I know that I am right and you're wrong.
Ask HN: How do you document your applications?
I'm wondering what are others using to store documentation of their (non-public) services. Github wiki looks nice, but including charts/diagrams is a pain. It has the advantage of keeping docs close to the code, but searching wikis does not work.

Confluence kind of works (and has gliffy integration!), but its search is also terrible.

I'm referring to documents like: architecture overview, what is it and how it works, user guide, but a place for javadoc/godoc would be nice as well.

What works best for you?
Maybe, but I worry that we are now exposed to more memes than lived experiences, so their power to overcome reality is increased. People have extremely strong opinions about things they have no first hand exposure to. I worry that the increase in polarization is simply people having opinions about more things. If that's the cause, I don't see a way back.
Early exercise minimizes the tax burden reason for handcuffing.

Does Uber make efforts to increase star ratings for drivers or is it all up to the driver? I was a quality manager for a call center and bad ratings can happen to even the best people. We always worked with them to improve for the future. We also did not rely exclusively on customer ratings and used internal QA. Does Uber have internal QA for drivers?
How are you handling execution of each language? I've looked at https://github.com/remoteinterview/compilebox a bit, but looks like it has some issues around infinite loops.
"it has far greater negative implications on the world at present than any other current issue facing college campuses."

I call bullshit. The price of college, the elevation of it's utility in our society, and the economic illiteracy of most of it's professors and attendant lack of preparation of it's students all present far more danger to society in the long term than blocking a speech from Milo or some other overblown vacuous controversy surrounding "free speech".
Is kubernetes a company?
This is interesting. You're awesome
> Would decent people --intelligent students at a university-- truly buy into these arguments? I think not.

The origin of the term 'genocide' arose out of eugenics ('geno'). Eugenics was primarily 'educated' people making fancy sounding (though largely incorrect) arguments which started with justifying sterilization and ended up justifying euthanasia for the 'greater good'.

Critical thinking is not the default state of humans in any group and otherwise decent people have bought into dangerous ideas before.
This is neither a discussion nor interesting.
How long until this guy gets screamed at by students claiming he made them feel unsafe and then is forced to resign?
I think you are making an assumption of shared value. To many trump supporters the idea that international approval matters is somehow repugnant.
Why would the rates change so often? I thought they are based on some risk profiles that don't change that quickly.
No universities are seekers of truth and knowledge, even a cursory glance at the progress of knowledge and understanding will demonstrate this to be true. I mean, seriously, where would technology be without universities? Don't let your political ideology blind you to the actual world that we live in.

The issue is the unwillingness of those attending to take advantage of the full diversity of views and life experiences that university life has to offer.
I'm excited to see what kind of discussion comes up around this codebase.

It's worth noting /u/eneff's comment about the initial code though:

The tricky part of a 2 month free trial is that it's not nearly enough time to explore the offerings unless you're a company that's already got a product ready to go and staff to migrate it full-time (and I assume the latter is exactly who you'd want to charge full price to). I took advantage of the 2-month GCP free trial, and ended up using 1 GCE instance, 2 Cloud Storage buckets, your cloud storage webhosting & DNS, and....that's it. I don't even really know what other services exist. It takes time to program things...by the time you get around to realizing that there are other GCP services that may help your project, the trial's already over.

Since there's a dollar cap as well, I don't see the problem with extending the trial out to a long calendar time-period.
For those who might miss the date on that blog post, it's an April Fool's joke.
But why not just use the installer?
Another data point of ridiculousness:

I fairly often receive emails from recruiters who have 'read my profile' and found me to be 'a great fit' for some 'senior ...' role.

Had they actually read my profile, they'd have found me to be a student, who's only relevant experience is as an intern, and has accepted an offer for a graduate position.

Certainly not a fit for senior anything, but it makes me wonder how far it would go if I replied OK - do companies using these recruiters get hopelessly underqualified candidates to interview on a regular basis, and still stick with them?
What about environmental impact?
Not a US citizen but I find the whole tipping experience rather stressful and an additional item to worry about. I like it that Uber has it built into the service and there's only one thing to pay. I'd rather pay a flat increase on the menu and expect higher staff salaries than to have the delivery boy/waiter be at my mercy of tipping.
According to the analysis [1], the material issues that SGML has with HTML are

- lexical issues; in particular, id/href values can
be almost anything in HTML5, and are case-sensitive
unlike other name-like tokens; note that while
id/href values can be anything, they are however
effectively constrained by other specification
rules (eg. id values can't effectively contain
quote characters because of attribute parsing
rules)

- script parsing is especially foobar'd (and
injection-prone) in HTML (cruft from HTML3/HTML4
times)

- HTML 5.1 constrains attributes on elements
depending on the value of other attributes
(possibly on parent element attributes), and also
makes content model features dependent on parent
attributes in some cases, which can't be described
by an SGML DTD grammar (but then doesn't have to be
described for parsing)

YMMV but none of these things really matter that much in practice.

Hi! Thank you for your message. Yes but with April coming, companies start to have filled their seats for their H1B already, or they ask for H1B transfer only.. I am going to try again here and continue to send everywhere I can on angel.co in the next weeks.
If anything, this thread has just made me newly impressed with Google's approach to inclusion. It's also really, really obvious that the person you are responding to isn't able to reconcile seeing PoC and women with their own world view.
Fair point. She came up to me asking to find choices in the sense I described. Ultimately it'd be her who tries it and makes the final choice.

My objective is to get pointers like what you just gave - Dell Precision M7510 so I can research and give her a few options to choose from :-)
Thanks!
In what way does Windows offer a superior user experience than macOS? Certainly more games are available for Windows and that's a key feature for many. Are there any other advantages?

I've used both and I appreciate a few things macOS gets right - installing and uninstalling applications is copy and delete, which is simple. Most applications have a consistent look and feel.
Agreed. The tendency to cling to views and debate rather than pursue truth is extremely unfortunate. Sam Harris gave a talk on this subject that I found quite interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOL3kUHjp2Y
I doubt anyone trying to hire you is insulting on purpose.

Take it for what it's worth, if the fundamentals don't work then walk.

FWIW On the East Coast we see engineering roles from 70-130 DOE base in second rate cities. At 6 years you're probably right in the middle of that.
> Who likes atlassian software?

I do, just because you dont like it does not mean others will have the same opinion.

If you think you can do a better job you should start your own company.
I don't understand the outrage, I like Amazon Fresh even more, next to the tipping box it specifically says in big letters tipping is neither required nor expected and defaults to zero. If the current laws regarding minimum wage are inadequate why not try to pass new laws instead of trying to read between the lines on why Instacart moved an input box and put it somewhere else?

Why keep things murky? If it is against the law we have a justice system, I will not all of a sudden be reminded of greedy bankers on Wall Street being the reason that box was moved to a different screen. Do people benefit when things are less crystal clear? Why do we want them to stay that? Why should the tradition of tipping should still be alive in this country? What are we trying to prove? Who is benefiting? Do we enjoy this sadistic power imbalance every time we get a meal at a restaurant? Is it because it gives us control over livelihood of someone else? How is it any different that the Romans throwing Christians to the lions for their enjoyment? Let's create a society that we think is fair and just instead of trying to take things in our own hands. Engaging in social debate to win over your fellow citizens to see eye to eye with you on things like increasing the minimum wage would be a benefit not only to those at the bottom but also to the society as a whole if that's what you think is the right thing to do.
Spark is a poor joke.
DigitalOcean should have named it "sealab".
I tried using Transferwise but it was demanding I prove myself a registered company, so I can't see me using it for a few more decades/never.

Heck I'm commenting before reading the article, I should go read it first...OK, slideshow..

Yeah, they seem to pitch it as a Paypal type thing that anyone can use, but I hit a brick wall when it came to accepting payments. Perhaps I should try again or something but I do recall last time it was asking for business registration numbers etc.

If I can use it then I'd happily do so, as Paypal rob me blind accepting money (fee) and then transferring to Malaysian ringgit (fee).
The word "reason" (or its friend, "logic") is misused so many times that it has become basically a marketing term. The most outrageous instigators branded themselves with "reason", from Nazi to Marxists to 9/11 hoaxers to alt-right.

Have you ever heard someone arguing "Reason is on their side"?
> installing and uninstalling applications is copy and delete, which is simple

It's still black magic to most people.

As for user experience, I've never liked OSX, it never clicked with me. I find the menu bar at the top especially confusing, I run apps side by side a lot.
Indeed. And in particular, consider the thesis of the argument:

> Any statistic that accurately measures health-care systems across nations must satisfy three criteria. First, the statistic must assume actual interaction with the health care system. Second, it must measure a phenomenon that the health care system can actually affect. Finally, the statistic must be collected consistently across nations.

Says who? The authors use these benchmarks to determine if life expectancy and infant mortality are valid units of measurement. Their actual claim, implicitly, is that life expectancy is unrelated or unaffected by quality of the health care system. And the infant mortality's numbers are biased against the US (here their argument is better but why would the UN knowingly include such biases?). The argument they present is weak...to put it charitably.
Universities are educational institutions, and invited speakers are invited by little committees made up of professors, students, administrators, and board members. The chemistry dept has some speaker series and they figure hey we gotta please the physical chemists and the polymer chemists and give a spot to the organic chem folks, and oh our students are getting hired by a lot of pharma companies recently so let's have some industry speaker from pharma, and we ought to have some alumni & some networking thing. Some activist group will have a committee and will decide to focus on (whatever). The student activities board will have something and will have some pro-Trump kid advocating for inviting Milo and some first-generation immigrant kid advocating for someone else and some other kid advocating for Natalie Portman.

I've been on a bunch of these little committees. It's a combo of who has a bee in their bonnet, what speakers fit the schedule, and who will talk for free or for cheap if we can't get funding for high-profile speakers. We've managed to get Nobel Prize winners because they were in town for another speaking engagement at the right time and we could broker a deal. You seem to imply that there's a big institution-wide agreement to serve some institution-wide set of interests. On a mundane level, this simply isn't true. You're seeing the outside of a bunch of misfit cats scrapping for meager amounts of cash and drawing some pretty grand conclusions. Patterns emerge out of this system but they're not, in general, intentional or under the control of any single entity.
Every time code is run/checked it's done inside a docker container. This allows me to set up an environment for as many languages as I want and unit test them. The containers run for a maximum of 2 seconds so if there's an infinite loop, the container is destroyed eventually anyway.
Thanks. Coming from a rMBP, I definitely appreciate the ability to see more at once if needed and see crisper text in general.
XPS 13 seems to be a popular choice. I will ask her to definitely try it out.
Yes thats right, you can come up with any solution. But make sure O(1) is satisfied (both in time and space complexity).

Anyways I had failed to give proper answer and I was rejected in the interview. This was the last question of my last round!

Spoiler: Here is one such solution using a simple but very clever trick: http://www.geeksforgeeks.org/design-a-stack-that-supports-ge...
Wouldn't there be an issue, that such speaker would use the fact that his speech is accepted at a mainstream public forum as if it was an endorsement?

While you're deleting stuff, I noticed someone on the new page has posted pornographic images. Alas, I'm not terribly surprised since this is the internet after all, but I'll +1 a feature to report dweets as being inappropriate.

A system to automatically hide dweets (for later manual review) after receiving a certain number of reports would likely solve the problem in the short term.
> Yet recently Apple has started to get into CPU design. Why?
I think the analysis of this decision would be fascinating to see.

Oddly enough why would Apple have left it through dumping PowerPC then if it's just going to repeat this cycle
