Not a prep course, but for example Redis has a very good source code overview here https://github.com/antirez/redis#redis-internals

More remarkable is the fact that antirez updated the documentation in response to a post in Reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/redis/comments/3re0aw/any_pointers_... Thank you antirez! :-)
I had assumed the answer was "no", and I asked the question because you seemed to insinuate that the pay gap correlates to merit, and that's why things can't be simplified to comparing people with "programmer" in the title.

Well, yes, not all programmers are the same, nor are all definitions and valuations of the title "Programmer" -- which is partly why good data on the subject of "pay disparity" is hard to come by. But I'm arguing that even in some dream world where this data exists, merit would be a very tricky variable to incorporate. As you said, programmers who are 5x, or even 2x, are not paid by multiple-of-productivity. The fact that they aren't isn't so much a reflection of unfairness, but the reality that productivity of a programmer is not at all easy to quantify, and even if it were, not at all constant.

The corollary of great programmers not being paid great wages is that there are some shitty programmers are not paid shitty wages. It's possible to accept that there isn't a pay disparity between males and females for a given job at a given company, while believing is that there's a greater tolerance for non-shitty wages to male shitty programmers.
You pay for their healthcare through your taxes. Every pothole on the road, unbuilt subway station and uneducated youth is a result of more tax money being redirected to the healthcare system in order to treat some smoker's lung cancer or some sweet tooth's diabetes.

JSON types are actually not very often requested feature so we have not prioritized it very high. I suspect that's because most people just store their JSON data as text and do processing in their applocation.

There's an open issue about it on Github:

Of course it is hypotheticals, that is what talking about alternatives is all about.
Let's be clear--right now, there is this discussion. Now, when some people promote racism, others explain that they're wrong, and why. This is exactly the thing that the article argues against--the author wants to remove all this censure, and have that majority stop arguing that being racist is wrong, so that racist people will feel comfortable expressing their views without any fear of chastisement.

So, you're suggesting that we can argue that racism is bad without making racists feel judged for being racist? Please, explain to me how we can do that.

Piggybacking on this a bit: does anyone have a good recommendation for learning more about home water distillers and RO systems? Both for just certain faucets and maybe even the whole household? I know filtering all the water at home is likely overkill (in most places!), but I'm curious.
Could somebody with more expertise explain how modern day protein folding simulations work? (Like Rosetta) I'm only familiar with the folding@home method of brute force molecular dynamics simulation. What kind of computational power does it take to go from an RNA sequence or polypeptide chain to stable protein with these algorithms?

This has always been a subject that has fascinated me, ever since high school when my biology teacher told us about folding@home. I went into computer hardware, so I always saw this problem as a computational power problem. I always believed that if we could figure this out, we could do a lot of cool things like make nanotubes and cure diseases. I saw it as the key to the nanotechnology revolution.
Is that like a theoretical limit or are is it just a big number?
I don't recommend using minifiers which contain bugs or do unsafe transformations (a form of bug IMO).
Yes, exactly. Scylla needs proper AIO/DIO support at the filesystem level and XFS has so far been the one that implements it best. There are fixes to Scylla to make it also run well on ext4 (by working around some of its limitations), but that's not part of any release yet.

There might be confusion about causality here. Generally women find more success in a field that's not jammed full of highly competitive men who push anyone weaker out of the way. Where they move on to some other target, the playing field becomes more fair.
My understanding is the 409A is supposed to be a true valuation of the company, not of the shares. The price of shares sold to investors (probably with liquidation preferences, extra voting rights, maybe a board seat, etc) of course costs more than the company's value divided by number of shares.
The Sateré-Mawé people of the Amazon domesticated and perfected the processing and imbibing of guaraná over centuries, and an extensive trade network of the product even grew in the area, but they did not develop into an advanced civilization. Moreover, products like guaraná, coffee and tea have been ritualized and developed into a social practice, identical to the Europeans once coffee houses were introduced to western cities in the 17th century.

Whether it be coffee in Yemen [and later western Europe], tea in China [and later Japan], or guaraná in the Amazon, each product has been revered by its culture in some form. They were adopted into the culture as they were discovered and developed, but they did not inspire some grand change in the technological progress of the civilization. Coffee leaves were boiled and drank for close to 300 years before some sultan's cook had the bright idea to roast and grind the beans and cook them in water.
You're talking about continuation-passing style, which makes stacks superfluous. It's a mind-blowing idea. But it's also a royal pain to write code directly this way, so some compilers convert to continuations under the sheets.
Just a guess, but if we evolved as hunter-gatherers, meals would likely have been much less predictable, particularly in Northern winters. So perhaps our metabolisms are tuned to an irregular intake and the regular breakfast/lunch/dinner timing just throws it off.

The Milky Way has a diameter of 100,000 light years, and there are 100 billion stars in this system alone. If only intelligent life arises 1 out of 10 million stars, we are looking at 10,000 civilizations in this milky way alone.

Statistically speaking, even the Milky Way galaxy should be littered with civilizations, with average distances between them measured in dozens of light years, not millions.
I really should be doing something else, but this is too interesting.

It doesn't yet, but it could. Keep it mind, at the worst case scenario I get to pick which of the four individual minifiers I run. I will always at least be able to match the best one.

There is absolutely nothing that prevents me from running zopfli over the final outputs and comparing the sizes. I can use the compressed size to drive search. A matter of a change in metric used to consider what is an improvement.

I'll add this to my todo list on this project. Looks like I may be doing more on this than I originally intended...
Ooh, neat! I've used GANs to generate synthetic temporal sequence data for training electrophysiologic (i.e., EEG, EMG) signal decoders. In fact, I wrote up the section of my dissertation on this topic today! In my experience it worked quite a bit better than other generative techniques (I've used convolutional variational autoencoders in the past for this and had so-so results). Looking forward to seeing what you guys do with this!
Where did you see that kind of estimate?

We are currently working on first finishing materialized view support, which will hopefully be completed in the upcoming months. Secondary indices will be implemented after that and we're hoping to reuse MV infrastructure for that. So I personally expect both features to land into a release later this year.

The CIA took control of the SIM card manufacturer company through in-q-tel years before and willingly sold their shares just before the keys got stolen by NSA/GHCQ.

It was a big deal at the time known as "l'affaire gemplus" and it prompted the french government to set up the "Fonds stratégique d'investissement" or strategic investment fund, sort of a french in-q-tel.

Intel being a US company it is probable the US agencies have their ways with them.
I can't think of a weather station that uses decimals, the forecasts and current temperature reports are almost always whole numbers. My Nest thermostat goes to the closest 0.5°C because I guess why not, but even that seems overkill. Most systems go to the nearest whole degree.

Decimals are only for those who are making a fuss over nothing unless they're doing something that requires precision, like chemistry or in rare cases cooking.

There's no benefits to Fahrenheit. If you want to argue they're both arbitrary, fine, but the entire world uses °C, so get with the program.

You can't compare caloric content of lettuce to that of beef. Vegetarians don't stock up on lettuce to get calories. That being said, if every single person was vegetarian, I would bet we could get the efficiency of vegetable farming to beat the current efficiency of cattle through indoor farming.

I'm just old - I forget how long ago some of these conversations took place, but mid-90s sounds right.
The article didn't mention a lot of other factors. If you drive to work you might go to the gym after work to burn the same calories the cyclist burned. Then you'd consume the same extra calories he did. Not only that, but the cyclist wouldn't have to go to the gym so they wouldn't even put in those miles.
Because there aren't enough women applying. At my previous job, I interviewed 50+ people, and fewer than 10% were women. For the record, I advocated strongly for most of them, and contributed to several being hired, including one of the best engineers I've met. Companies have a hard time hiring enough software people in general, and there are many more men applying for software jobs than women. If there were some untapped pool of female engineers all looking for jobs, believe me, that pool would get tapped. It just doesn't exist.
The only contention I have is one you agreed to elsewhere: that the actual aggregate wage-gap once you've controlled for common variables (such as life choices) is 3-6% (with women earning more in some fields), which likely isn't significant or correctable.

A difference on that magnitude can easily be something about aggregate behavior correlated to sex, an uncontrolled for variable, or just random chance.

So let me ask you: do you have any evidence that 3-6% gap is the result of sexism instead of merely being a fact correlated to sex? (Particularly if we were to confine the data to people under 40, to control for historical biases that take time to age out.)

But there are more than 325 million people covered by socialized medicine in the EU. Why is that unrealistic?

Heck, it could even help our economy, because you probably don't buy your own health insurance anyways, but get it from work. Take away that burden from the companies, and it could actually make them more competitive.
That is well put, probably worth slightly revising your old article to highlight that.
Not what i said. Look at parent to what i am answering. Current system was positioned as a burden for startups, my point is simply that healthcare is a burden no matter whst and that changing the system wont make it less a burden, it will just have consequences other places.

There is a case to be made that you only need to be good enough to get in. I myself am not nearly at the level where I could write a hypervisor exploit even though I have been in the industry for a while. However I feel pretty confident in my ability to break into almost any company if I set my mind to it. Fancy exploits are just things that take time to create and if your super great payload gets flagged by fireeye down the line you might have just wasted a ton of time for no other reason than showing off if powershell would suffice. So I guess I am torn on this because I don't want to flame the sysadmin's turned security people for not being a top speaker at blackhat or CCC because I myself come from that background, but on the other hand I think I should expect more quality work out of the CIA than what comes out of infosecinstitute. If this is the average of the CIA I really think NCC group might have more capability than the intelligence agency of the US government which is kind of crazy to think about. I am sure they have some really great zero days that they save for very important projects, but I doubt we will get to see the same level of capability that we saw out of the NSA leaks.
I actually found out about Big Agnes while I was living in NYC, but I'd like to see more domestic production as well. Melanzana looks interesting - I'll stop by sometime.
That didn't come out recently, that was known from the very start, as Gwynne Shotwell noted in the press conference prior to CRS-10. They have flown with cracks in the turbopumps since Falcon 9 flew for the first time and it was no big deal (customers have known and were okay with it for cargo flights). It's just that for human flights they want every most bit of safety margin they can get, so they'll fix it for Block 5.

To my knowledge there has only been one engine failure (which resulted in the secondary payload being lost), and it is not known whether that was due to the turbopump.

One other thing to consider is that most pre-Block 5 rockets won't fly that often even if/when SES-10 is successful and even lands again. Most customers get factory-new rockets and they already learned a lot on how to make the first stage easier and better to reuse. So once Block 5 comes around the older landed boosters are probably not needed much. They converted one of them into a side booster for Falcon Heavy already, as far as I know, so that may be one point for salvaging them.
HN: For all your constructive criticism needs.
Can you do an implicit test when it's nature is made explicit?
I agree that rational debate is good, but in this case the rational debate has to include judgment because the one side of the debate is arguing that the other side (say, racism), is evil. That prevents it from being a perfectly calm, rational debate because the other side ends up (accurately) feeling judged and condemned. That's exactly the thing the author dislikes here--that the people supporting the non-mainstream views on these issues feel that it's not socially acceptable to have those views, so they feel they can't speak up.

So, how can people argue that bigotry is unacceptable and wrong without making it harder for bigots to speak up?
For many users, that "super high performance" really just means lower request processing latency, which is a very desirable feature to have in various market segments. Look at the various benchmarks available (or run the benchmarks yourself) and you will see that Scylla has a very consistent, low latency that's a direct result of its non-blocking, shared-nothing architecture and implementation in a non-manage language, which gives us more control.

Thoreau didn't condemn being a farmer. He pointed out how it doesn't go along with his values. Like an empty room you can fill in with thousand different things, we all have the liberty of choosing different values to fill our lives with. Bear in mind Thoreau never got married or had sex, which probably is almost everyone's recipe for a happy fulfilled life.

Educate yourself and stop spreading FUD. Solar panels already paid their cumulative greenhouse emission debt and if not it is likely happen very soon.

Fossil fuels wouldn't disappear overnight but there is less and less real dependency on them and more of a choice of using them.

There is no reason not to go wind/solar if looking just at greenhouse gases emissions.

http://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms13728

"As a result, we show a break-even between the cumulative disadvantages and benefits of photovoltaics, for both energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, occurs between 1997 and 2018, depending on photovoltaic performance and model uncertainties."

I'd be curious where you got that 104% number. Here's a source saying woman make 1-6% less in tech[0]. Here's one saying ~28%[1] among programmers.

Based on my casual research, the correct answer to "what's the gender pay gap" is to sidetrack into a half-hour discussion on what you're controlling for and whether it's appropriate to control for that.

For example, professions where flexible schedules are rare see the wage gap grow for women between their 20s and 30s (compared to professions where flexible schedules are more common). This is likely because that's around the age where people have children and women are expected to handle a disproportionate measure of childrearing duties.

Is that something you try to control for? If you're looking for direct, hiring-manager-discriminating-against-you sexism, then yes, you control for it. If you're looking for the wide variety of subtle ways women are discriminated against, you don't.

From what I've found, if you're looking for the sort of direct sexism of hiring managers paying less to _exactly_ the same person for _exactly_ the same work, you come out with a 3-10% wage gap.

If, on the other hand, you're looking for the wide variety of systematic ways women are prevented from getting equal pay, you get 10-30%. Some of those ways can be addressed at the individual level, some at the company level, and some at the societal level.
