>When looking at the advancements in GPUs these days, where are the improvements coming from?

A considerable chunk of it is process improvements. Take a look at the chart at http://wccftech.com/nvidia-pascal-gpu-analysis/ that's about halfway down. nVidia's current generation GPUs are at 16nm. For comparison, Intel is at 14nm for their processors (though their 14nm process is better than most other chipmakers 14nm process) and hopes to start delivering 10nm this year, a year or so later than planned. So nVidia has a couple more process bumps to go, whenever they become affordable, and then they hit the wall like everyone else and have to focus mainly on architectural improvements for further performance gain.

Common Sensing | iOS Developer | Cambridge, MA | Full-Time Onsite | common-sensing.com

At Common Sensing we're modernizing chronic disease management. While big data has become the central theme of the last decade in tech, it has left little mark on many aspects of healthcare. We're changing that, and we need your help.

Our first product is Gocap: a connected device that integrates seamlessly into a user's workflow to collect data on insulin doses. Dose information is combined with blood glucose readings collected by our app and sent to our backend. There it empowers healthcare providers to make treatment decisions based on thousands of data points rather than the single reading they use today. This requires well-built software at all levels of the stack: device firmware, mobile apps, backend data storage and processing, frontend web portals, and a variety of tools to support building and testing the physical devices our team designs. We all wear a lot of hats here, and we're looking for software developers who'd like to do the same.

We expect you to:

• Own the iOS app, refactoring and rebuilding the current codebase where necessary and adding features as we go.

• Implement an iOS test suite that supports our verification needs.

• Learn one or more of our other software platforms and contribute to those products (C, Android, Python, Node.js, Ruby on Rails).

• Help determine the future of software at Common Sensing, from architectural and platform decisions to team process and structure.

In addition to software development, there will be opportunities to learn and participate in all aspects of the business, from fundraising to embedded electronics to clinical trials.

If this sounds fun, we'd like to hear from you at hiring@commmon-sensing.com.
Obviously the dock can keep the machine powered while playing, so there is at least one.
Dammit. I thought I could now remove any tweet that had the word 'trump' in it[^2], which meant I could refollow a bunch of people and make twitter much more useful, but it seems that it only works for notifications in which you are mentioned[1], which means the feature is pretty pointless, at least for most people.

[^2]: this is a complaint I have with almost any social media, even google plus. I want a persons insight on subject x, I don't want to hear their political ramblings, no matter what side they are on - politics are poison.
Is this really the different country with the different language, or "just" the other people?

As far as I know, everybody behaves differently towards old school friends than towards later friends, colleagues at work, their spouse, and so on.

How can we eliminate this effect? A study would need to observe the same group of people, all multilingual, in different langauges. It would be interesting to see whether these behave differently depending on the language (or mix of languages) they use.

But I personally doubt it. I believe it is "just" the people.
>>So long as we have countries as political units, this will be the reason. Countries are by and large semi-closed systems in terms of economics, do it would make sense we protect our own economy, just like the majority of big economies do.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news to you. But US itself pursued globalization policies to cut the influence of USSR during the cold war. Globalization was a US political project gone crazy during the internet years.

In fact no one reaped more benefits at the world stage than US.

Even as we speaking now. US has more to benefit from H1-B and other Visa systems. You don't really want all these highly trained brains from India to go to other places.

>>how protectionist and nationalist a place like India is.

India has let in far more foreign business in the recent past than US ever will.

If you are a US business making insane tens of billions worth profits selling stuff in India. Its really not a lot to ask the company in question to hire a few Indians to run their operations in India.

Oh, wired, your insistence that I not use an ad blocker on your site is actually the reason I am never visiting your site again.
Is that technically possible, especially keeping in mind the need for very low latency?
Nothing's going to change for these users, though. Their shouting at random celebs will go unseen, as it always has.
Because it's vastly preferable to driving away all the nice people and having your entire userbase be nothing but shitheads.
This is just Data Management, a term which predates "DataOps" by more than a decade in both research and enterprise. I don't really think it needs a rebranding.

So far for example SteamVR is tied to Steam. So I'm more interested in open VR runtime, though of course a common and standard API is very good to have as well.
I'm trying to think how this might fail - like if someone throws a bag over it. But then I guess it just immediately calls the police assuming foul play? I guess if you cut wireless communication and then covered it with a bag it would be ineffective, but I'm guessing places with enough loot to seriously interest thieves can afford more than just the robot. I guess it's basically a mobile and controllable security camera. How unhappy are places with security camera setups today and what do they cost?

It's certainly an interesting idea and I could see it working, but there are so many moving parts I could see a lot of issues. But it seems like most of those problems can be ironed out with time. Best of luck to Cobalt!
Interesting. Did heart rate monitoring change any other behaviours?
No budget.
Yeah, it's really brutal. I find the new recaptchas which I hit almost every time are much more exhausting than the old text-based ones, and probably much easier for a machine to solve to boot.
Better-Than-Nothing Security: An Unauthenticated Mode of IPsec
I probably haven't been to a doctor for years and years. Like most Americans I have pretty shitty health insurance, and it's mostly about avoiding unnecessary expenses. I don't have any burning desire to pay a doctor, a blood test lab, and all the other various administrative leeches, just for them to all tell me everything's good. If something happens and I get seriously ill, I accept that I'll be paying through the nose for it, but that's the case whether or not I waste time/money on "checkups".
I've got a good stable of local folks with interests that match mine. Plenty of interesting conversations to be had - who you follow is up to you.
What's the salary ballpark range? I'm an experienced SW developer in Tucson and I find this position very interesting.
In practice there aren't many languages that support anything more than yaml 1.0 from my last look a few years ago.

Ie yaml isn't nearly as supported as it looks once you start actually trying to use it between languages with anything more than 1.0 as most of the purported library support seemed to be roughly 2009 abandonware.

Yaml also precludes easy https://www.sqlite.org/json1.html and postgresql jsonb etc. Not to mention trivial js consumption of the file.

Superset or not, Yaml automagically introduces bugs to and from json through the magic powers of more lines of code involved.

Most projects would have a hard time not having a json library these days? I've not done a survey of music apps though.

In practice, as someone that has been vim/emacs for a few decades I'd put a low priority on yaml vs json text editability. They are about the same for changing a few characters and I'd probably use orgmode+ python to do anything non-trivial but not full program(and probably drive the transform via json data from somewhere...).

In 2017 yaml doesn't seem tasteful for this format.

Email: sjenks (at) gmail

Hi! I’m Scott, a passionate and curious software engineer with a wide variety of experiences.
Most recently, I designed and implemented a service in the Microsoft Commerce Platform which removed entities in a NoSQL store using Cosmos. However, my future interests were more influenced during my experience at Amazon. I enjoyed combining my interests for innovative user interfaces and rapid development on the Fire Phone and Fire Tablets. I carried my vision to completion as scrum master of the team responsible for the Home application and owner of the 3D icons. The ideal company for my next position would be one with innovative ideas and products, where a single engineer can still make an impact.
Sure, but those are just two different ways to achieving the same goal: a feeling of superiority.
My effort is a collection of custom operators for operations that we use very commonly (run a query, python script, or mapreduce job) and a code generator that takes a simple text spec describing a set of operations and generates the Python DAG script. I'm not familiar with Cookiecutter or Yeoman but generating Python code myself hasn't been complicated. Open-sourcing it isn't an option right now with my current employer.
A lot of third-party clients implement this properly. Tweetbot's my favorite.
Me too, at the Naval Research Laboratory. Did you use C*? (This was a version of C designed for the CM, with parallel operators.)

Why Google didn't tell Uber about alleged employee misconduct
It might be self-serving, but there's still a social aspect to it. By seeing people react to something with outrage, it tells you that it's alright to protest and be vocal about things in life when it matters, which is extremely important when faced with injustice.

The portable screen is just 720p, which is not the end of the world. What I found surprising is that even when it's running Zelda on a full display, it only runs at 900p. I think if it can't do 1080p in 2017, it's fair to call it underpowered.

Not just the valley but in any of the developing nations like India, China, Brazil either. Those populations have a constant stream of educated youth rolling in. It is very hard to compete with youth (not on knowledge but on the aspect of how much work hours you can dedicate at that point in life). But I am happy to hear there are places that respect > 55 year olds. Note that the population of > 55 in software is probably quite small now because this all started only in 1990s proper. So, we will see the real problem only 2020 or so.

IMC | Chicago, IL | Full-time, INTERNS | ONSITE | Software Engineer, FPGA Engineer

We are actively hiring talented engineers to grow our trading operations across the world. Entry-level, junior, and experienced. For intern/entry-level software roles, prior experience in Java or C++ helpful but not strictly necessary. Also actively hiring entry-level, intermediate, and senior FPGA engineers. Prior financial industry knowledge helpful but by no means required.

We are building, optimizing, and scaling high-frequency trading systems. It's fun and challenging. We have a very open and collaborative culture and you will find yourself working closely with traders, quants, network and system engineers, and other devs. We release code nightly and generally have a quick iteration loop: your 'clients' are frequently the coworkers sitting next to you, so you can work closely together to get to a solution. You'll learn a lot, and hopefully we'll learn a lot from you :)

I lead our dev onboarding team where we focus on getting you the knowledge and insight to be effective at IMC. Despite kicking up our growth rate, we regard a highly interactive and in-depth training and mentoring process to be critical to our growth. A typical day finds me reviewing a lot of code and discussing design and implementation with the rest of the team, as well as fostering the onboardees' relationships with the rest of the organization.

INTERNSHIPS: We’ve found the best and most educational internship experiences come from working on production code. Our interns spend the summer working with our full-time software developers on their projects. Learn a ton from real code reviews and find out how building software together in a continuous-delivery environment is different from typical one-off homework assignments.

IMC is a leading derivatives market-marker with offices across the world and was founded in Amsterdam in 1989. https://www.imc.com

Apply for internships and entry-level (“graduate”) positions at https://www.imc.com/us/careers/graduates/.

Obviously. I am dumb in any other languages, except English and my mother tongue.
No mention of how filtering might apply to Twitter's trending algorithms. Since much of the activities of bots are aimed at pushing a narrative to a wider audience (getting it trending), it seems like Twitter is currently neglecting one of the most serious harms that bots pose to the community.

I get that Twitter is focusing on harassment in order to make people feel safe when using their platform, but I hope the solution will also effect this other aspect of bot use/account abuse.

It's likely https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premature_ventricular_contract..., a lot of people have them but some people feel them more than others and unfortunately once you start noticing them it becomes really annoying (needless to say the more caffeine you take/the more anxious you are, the more you will feel them). Still you should do a heart check with a cardiologist to be sure there is no underlying condition (unlikely) which can help living with it by being less anxious.

Edit: replaced french word
I believe, at least for your anecdotes, that this has less to do with language, and more to do with context.

We all speak (and behave) differently when we are with our parents, our colleagues and our friends - and arguably online, even when speaking in our native tongue in all these (and other) scenarios.

That is not to say that certain languages don't lend themselves better to certain forms of expression, but I'm not convinced your anecdotes support that argument.
Really? For me, editing JSON is always a chore, because you have to match the multiple nested brackets, otherwise your whole file is invalid and you get to have fun finding out what you did wrong. YAML, in comparison, can be visually inspected quickly.

However, with all the apprehension in the thread, I'm rethinking this decision. Maybe TOML would be better?
