Here here. Cancer patient. I've met a LOT of doctors... only two of whom I trust more than my own research. I had to diagnose myself (!!!) after two doctors gave me the old "it's nothing", took months while it spread, demanded biopsy. Am now stage IV while they're still raking in the cash, coasting through their half-assed careers.

It's bewildering to me that I'm expected to put more effort and research into building some stupid web app than they do for being responsible for a human life, for a fraction of the money.

People who've not been through the system have NO idea just how dysfunctional it is. It's sickening and criminal, at every corner -- and NOTHING is being done.
This is truly the most awesome thing ever.
Am I the only one who saw the arrow and understood it without reading some shitty website first?

Do explain, though. It's a topic I rarely hear discussed.
We do not yet know. Gigabyte specifically says ECC memory is compatible, but runs without ECC on their boards. Asrock only says that ECC ram is compatible.
So the choices are wait for the economy to suddenly unfuck itself or give our lowest earners am immediate boost?
Jup, I think pretty much the same.

JavaScript is freaking everywhere.

Your DMS? Chances are it understands JavaScript.

Your scanning software? Understands JavaScript.

Your security gateway? JavaScript.

You API management software? Also JavaScript.

And a ton more. JavaScript is here to stay.
I keep seeing this refrain "we don't want to turn HN into reddit because of low effort jokes"

I also see some pretty good, very nuanced jokes (the kind you chuckle about at first, then the second level of the joke hits and you chuckle a little harder) getting voted down heavily as well.

Dunno if I can buy the "most of it is lazy" line here.
While this used to be true (and mostly still is), the tide is shifting on this point. Games are using more and more cores. Overwatch, for example, uses 6. I believe DirectX 12 makes it easy/reasonable to use 4 cores, with some benefit to be gained with up to 6.

Not that it really helps with some games. Dota 2 is CPU bound for the moment, so if you play that a lot then maximizing single-threaded performance is probably the way to go.

Still, if I was buying a CPU today, I'd be cautious about going for less than quad core if I was interested in new AAA games.
Les Miserables as a novel is a massive oeuvre, with perhaps only Tolstoy's War&Peace as its equal. The novel succeeds in painting the story on a much larger canvas and does so superbly. The part about Waterloo however is needlessly French-patriotic, although still a valuable account. An excellent, more accurate and detailed book about Waterloo is the one written by Bernard Cornwell. It is words that still convey abstract reflexions or concepts/method more aptly and concise than VR or multi-media I think.
The GPU is faster than a human can move. You don't need to render all around.

Even better, if you render just a couple degrees extra you can double your framerate via interpolation. That way you can have 120Hz head-tracking while only having to render the world at 60Hz.
It wasn't always true. Only in the past decade or so have newer cars standardized on that iconology.
Where'd you get this idea? Any citations?

Your comment reads condescending to me: "my pain is all in my head." But it's not, and treating my mental heath is treating the symptoms and not the cause. The best thing for my mental health would be an end to my physical pain.
Weird I have said the exact same stuff and I get massively downvoted for calling KalaDick an asshole.

He needs to step down he is so stupidly arrogant he is getting what he deserves and I hope worse.

He has no humility (he hit the luck jackpot) only stupidity and arrogance!!!

Hated him and Uber ever since they let my account get hacked and 1k stolen from me for a ride in London. Their response was it's the users fault for choosing a lame password ... BLOOD BOILING... users fault (??) is the PR you put out for your users getting hacked and you keep letting it happen; don't care???

Uber/KalaDick treats everyone equally like a piece of trash.. from their customers to their drivers to their female employees to all drivers on the road who one might get killed because KalaDick wants to win the self driving car war to their competitors and more.

Die Uber die!!!!
Actually it's depend on both motherboard and CPU.
It requires that the memory controller support ECC and that there are extra traces from the memory controller to the RAM.

This used to mean it was solely a motherboard feature, but starting about a decade ago, the memory controller was moved onto the CPU, so now it requires both CPU and motherboard support.
You're not on trial for referring to someone as a dude. It's an old as dirt tactic to put you on the defensive.
There is so much more going on here than this video clip, this was just the icing on the cake. There have been rumors of slippages over the years, but the stuff that's been coming out lately is way over the top. Putting the pieces together, it's not hard to imagine this guy as a driving force behind the sexistic asshole culture. Mr Boober, I nearly puked when I heard that.
Why should he have to apologise for this? This is normal 'robust' conversation between an employer and an employee who have a disagreement.

The driver is apparently bankrupt (well done), so I would not be at all surprised if he deliberately tried to bait Travis into this conversation so he'd have a story to sell. At the end of the Bloomberg article where this surfaced, they noted that the driver got 1 Star for that ride - I find it hard to believe that anyone other than Uber and the driver would have been able to know that.

I've seen lots of unit tests tests trying to reproduce the exact circumstances of a known bug, in an attempt to trigger it, and thus prevent regressions.

The problem is, legitimate changes to your production code can make your test go blind.
What I mean is that the test looses its ability to trigger the bug, while the potential for the bug to be re-introduced is still high.

This is what happens if you're trying to trigger known bugs instead of asserting behaviours: your tests might stop playing their role and you won't even notice.
I understand why all the Uber negativity exists right now (really it existed since early on), they've earned most of it. However, not a single thing in that article does a good job of arguing why Uber is doomed. Having an emotional reaction and a strong dislike to the way a corporation behaves, isn't an argument for why it must fail. Just wanting something to be, doesn't make it so, and most of what that article does is want Uber to fail.

Back in reality, once a technology company acquires the kind of market position that Uber has, they almost never end up doomed. Quite the opposite, they overwhelmingly tend to go on to dominate their market for a long time. If disliking a corporation could make it fail, Monsanto wouldn't exist, and Microsoft would have been broken into pieces by the government (the hysteria around Microsoft for example, while different from Uber, was every bit as extreme and angry in the tech world circa 1996-2000; tech people flat out hated Microsoft and its behavior with a special passion).

Airflow is just the workflow management layer on top of your data pipeline. The flexibility to generate custom graphs based on user-specific parameters should be handled within a pipeline task.

Based on your example, I would have a single dag that would 1. get user data and 2. generate a graph.

All the flexibility should be defined in whatever function, script or program you define to generate the graph.

Perhaps things have changed.
This kind of relativism with truth isn't really leading us forward. So now pretending to change is suddenly more or less equal to actual change? Can you imagine any negative effects from that redefinition?
Those qualities aren't necessarily orthogonal, but think about what it implies about how you should treat that ruthless capitalist.

I think the trolls attack the public figures, which make the public figures less likely to attract the little fish, and the little fish are your audience, who need to be both entertained and interacted with, lest they decamp for a more robust social network like reddit or facebook. Both of which are far, far harder on trolls, bots, and spammers than twitter, not coincidentally. They recognize the fight to the death they're in, and are by and large winning.

Twitter was fine and good and groundbreaking at one point, but the naive implementation of a social network they cling to as a moral stand is obsolete for a billion dollar company. One who is more than large enough to game for profit or lulz.

They're going to adapt or they're going to die. Possibly both.
Google Takes on Cable with ‘YouTube TV’–40 Channels for $35
I spent the last half hour thinking about this on and off, trying to shift my perspective. I feel sort of guilty. Advocating for objectivity and dispassionate truthseeking is the second easiest way to curry favor on HN, and it feels cheap. (The easiest is still outrage, never to be topped anywhere :))

If anything, I find it sort of funny that Travis got mad. He handled it pretty well at first; they were just having an honest disagreement. Then it was like he just decided, "fuck it, I've had a bad day, and I don't need to take this guy's shit." He might meditate on the fact that this guy spends his evenings being the reason that Uber's business model works.

> It's applying a victim card on top of asshole behavior.

Well, we're all in a sense victims of what our environment did to our tabula rasa to make us who we are (for better and worse).

All humans have flaws (insecurity among them). Mistreating others is never an excusable way to conduct ourselves. I do not intend to give anyone a pass.

FYI I think it's necessary to point out that brash behavior can have its origin in insecurity, since many seem to assume it has its origin in competence and frustration with others' incompetence.

Most of what I've read claims that games and applications need to explicitly add support for dual/multiple GPU, as it's not something you get out of the box. And very few games do.

Anecdotally, this seemed to hold true for me, as I initially had dual 1080s in SLI and moved one of them to a second machine with no noticeable difference.

If all you want is 60FPS, current cards work well enough, though 60FPS has too much latency for VR in my opinion.

Ever since I got a 144hz monitor, my 980ti struggles to do 144hz consistently at 2k. Even though I'm not doing VR, the extra frames are very noticeable, and its hard to go back to 60hz displays for things in 3D.
This proposal makes much more sense than Apples "Metal Only" solution (https://webkit.org/blog/7380/next-generation-3d-graphics-on-...). I liked Metal at the beginning but over time it turned out that it is just another OpenGL/DX flavor with the same old driver/performance problems. Also using SPIR as IL allows the use of the preferred shader language. WebGL Next is about parallelism and abstraction, otherwise there would be absolutely no benefit.
Having friends who have had startups that relied on contractors the death blow is being forced to treat contractors as employees.

So the real question from all this bad press will it sway states and cities to start forcing uber to make this change? If so it will definitely hamper who they can service and their valuation.
Please help me understand this.

These Uber drivers disrupted the regular cab/taxi business by driving their wages low, and now their complain is their wages are going low?

In California (at least), the pumps work regardless of which side the car is parked on. The hoses are longer and the hands free mechanism is very different from the east coast. Actually, I prefer to extend the hose over the car as it feels more sturdy. So, dictating which side the fuel door is on doesn't necessarily create gas pump asymmetry.

But a lot of what you describe is what most people here would describe as basic competence. We're not talking about something like continuously deploying to multiple regions with architectures that permit high scalability, availability, yadda yadda. We're taking about the ability to create a simple back-end that won't lose customer data (because it has tested backups), obeyed 80/20 rules on cybersecurity, and are reasonably maintainable (code isn't suffocating under centuries of tech debt).

Every other engineering discipline has licensing requirements. People think software is special because the industry moves quickly, and indeed I agree that creating a formal, standard licensure body is extremely difficult, bordering on impossible, but think of it this way:

If, hypothetically, there was a proper licensure - how many people would be competent enough to earn it? We may think that there's a labor shortage now, but really, it pales in comparison to how bad things could be if all of a sudden everyone had to get licensed.

That's the real problem - most "software engineers" are not at a level of competence where they could get licensed, if such a license existed. And the industry's way of dealing with a lack of licensure is to throw more people and money at the problem, because the problem has defied all attempts to think smarter about solving it.
