You mean they were the ones to codify these things. Stocks and sauces have existed ever since it was possible to create cookware that can simultaneously hold liquid and be heated, the 'brigade' is a basic concept of organisation of human labour, Escoffier just codified it, and milk based sauces, or sauces thickened with starch (often crushed bread or grains), go back a long, long time as well.

I mean, I know the real reasons Carême and Escoffier are considered so important (they codified the canon of French cuisine which had its heyday in the generations after WWII and became global 'fine' cuisine), but that style of cuisine is on it's way out, even in places such as Paris. Nowadays global fusion is the standard cuisine, and brigades are getting smaller and less rigid due to economic circumstances.

Anyhow, I came up through the industry in rigid brigades headed by a French chef. I know all the terms, techniques, etc... Nowadays though, a successful restaurant is just as likely to be headed by some hipster doing Chinese-Italian cuisine, with techniques that would make my old chefs cringe. But it doesn't matter. Tastes are becoming more cosmopolitan, and all that matters is what's on the plate nowadays. I just came back from a culinary tour of another city, visiting acquaintances in the industry, and the 'top' restaurants are all tiny, loud and have very eclectic menus.

I personally think Scappi could be quite relevant in today's culinary atmosphere.
I purposely left out templates because I do not consider them to be the same as generics. Their is no "runtime" support for templates; templates are basically a glorified macro engine for creating new code based on type parameters. But yes, templates by definition specialize since they are creating new code every time they are instantiated.
Yeah, lots of questions to get it right.

That's an interesting read. One of only a handful of tech books I've read twice. It's thin and doesn't repeat itself all that much so if you read it twice it's still faster than reading most tech books once.

More recently though I heard someone proved mathematically that CPS can be transformed one-for-one into one of the more conventional models. That doesn't mean it might not still be easier for the humans to deal with however.

Fahrenheit 451: first book that really made the idea of fascism real to me. It sounds crazy to say this, but before reading Fahrenheit 451, I learned plenty about ww2 and the rise of Nazi Germany, but it seemed like a different world. But then something like Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 comes along, and it just hit me. Not only that, but it just gave me a whole new perspective on the power of literature and how important a genre like Sci Fi can actually be.

What nobody does is look at a PC, and say, where can we simplify? If you start by assuming that a lambda user needs to be exposed to a complex file hierarchy for example, then you're not really thinking ahead. Then you come up with a hybrid device.

I'm sure Surface Pro is a great device, and it answers the needs of a certain demographic but "windows on the tablet" is not the answer to the computer of tomorrow. For what it's worth I heard from artists the Surface isn't a replacement for the Wacom as it has its problems.

I assume you're referring to the fact that iPad Pro doesn't accept USB keys, or lets you access filesystem etc. But what Apple achieved with the iPad Pro is to make a tablet first and foremost, with a fantastic touch interface. Not a hybrid device.
When the article gushes with praise for the cooks and artists employed by the Renaissance Papacy, and condemns the Counter-Reformation Papacy for no longer making use of them -- using language like "a rare moment of jollity before the flogging of whores and adulterers began", "no pagan pleasures in the Vatican while the red slippers covered the toes of this pontiff", or "like asking Michelangelo to paint all four walls of the Sistine Chapel in a single coat of magnolia" -- it certainly sounds like praising the Renaissance Papacy to me.
I think this is closer to reality. Tim is not competing with many folks like him -- he's a knowledgable, experienced, and capable data scientist with significant infrastructure experience, and a net positive to any team he joins. Some problems possibly originating from the company perspective

(1) They are inundated with applications folks of all sorts of backgrounds: engineering, finance, academia, marketing, BI/analytics, etc.

(2) They still haven't figured out hiring. To be fair, no one really has figured it out. Jeff Kolesky recently covered this as part of an excellent blog post. [0]

(3) In addition to the typical variance in engineering interview processes, we now introduce variance in the definition of data science across companies, which just complicates things further.

(4) Basically everything else Tim mentioned in his post: role or goals aren't clearly defined, remote data science is an unknown, etc.

Can you guarantee that a large, rapid influx of immigrants won't lead to a poor underclass? Because that's as much of an issue as wherever they came from...
The rule of law, as a social construct, is harder to apply to people with more social influence. I don't think the wealthy are hard done by, sorry; and I don't think it's wrong to "make excuses for the poor and uneducated"; there are social structural reasons why injustice is perpetrated primarily against the poor and uneducated.

It's easy to point at the rapist; it's much harder to point at the chap who got away with his bonus while the government propped up his bank. But how many people died because of redirected funds, reduction in spending on healthcare, or even something as mundane as road upkeep, increasing vehicle accidents? White collar criminals indirectly kill people. They are scum, parasites on our social constructs.

It's not feel-good ranting, BTW. It makes me extremely angry that people try to push hot buttons like rape and murder that would anger animals, to distract from greater crimes perpetrated in more abstract ways. It's a cheap but effective trick; and I'm sick of it.
Just a helpful tip: mentioning being downvoted is against the HN guidelines and usually attracts more downvotes.

pkahler's sibling post also brings up an important side point: beyond the basic core, what you study really needs to be focused on what aspect of the software industry you want to be in or are likely to find yourself in. While I, too, encourage you to take C/asm courses or whatever your preferred focus is, the bulk of the jobs in the industry are in creating web sites and business systems (much of which are so-called CRUD apps; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Create,_read,_update_and_delet...). Even if you plan to do something else, a course in databases and concurrent programming will stand you in good stead as a fallback if your career doesn't quite go as planned.
I suspect they tested and tweaked what sort of format kept the most number of clicks and page views on Google owned sites.

Prominent attribution wouldn't help in that regard. These kg entries are great for Google. They present the most likely sought out info, so little reason to click through. As a bonus, the vertical space they use pushes down any organic results that might be better answers.
Nothing prevented the other companies to port their OSes, many of each were implemented in variants of Algol and PL/I, they just didn't saw a business value in doing so, and thus lost to the availability of an almost freely available OS, that universities which didn't want to pay for mainframe OSes, adopted to their existing computer labs, instead of getting more licenses.

Students at those universities then picked UNIX for their startups, for the newly workstation market, like Sun did.
I'm not particularly confident in their methodology. I think particularly their first stage will suffer from a large number of false-negatives:

- "top venture capital firms" is an odd filter, especially given that industry specific investment funds are likely to have pretty good signal on good businesses in their industry.

- "companies that already show traction in their industry" isn't great considering that "AI" is considered an industry here, and startups being particularly "disruptive" might be difficult to classify.

- "companies in a sector that was an expanding market opportunity" is incredibly vague.
Neet idea!

That is exactly my point, it would have been probably a footnote in programming languages compendium.

Case in point, how interested were people in using Limbo?
I have similar experiences. To add some color: I find that for data science tasks, someone who knows statistics & can program is much, much more productive than someone who only knows one. Part of that is because data science has to do their own product management–the question you ask next changes quite rapidly depending on the results of a single query.

That said, most companies should probably be hiring data engineers rather than data scientists–for most "data science" jobs I've seen, almost no statistics is actually necessary/useful.

Leaking information over Tor is no worse than leaking it over non-Tor, and in general cases Chrome isn't directly sending information that allows a single site to identify you.

Too little. Which probably goes to show that uptake doesn't prove much.
I understand where you're coming from. Unfortunately, the academic literature on OT is really difficult. A lot of the papers are flat-out wrong, and even the ones that aren't have tons of confusing notation and terminology. It's a specialized area, so I don't have hopes there will be an easy-to-follow tutorial any time soon.

Not sure if I'm overlooking something obvious, but given the possibility to reduce dates/times into simple integers (doable according to the example), you should be much faster sorting the data and using and intelligent comparing than allocating a tree with O(n•logn) nodes. Those heap allocation should slow you down drastically, at least for any problem size where linear work is still efficient enough.

I don't even feel like getting into this, but it looks like the troll is winning: Parameter Modulation, unlimited nesting/grouping/takes. Dynamically create and split audio channels on one track. Mixing of MIDI and Audio in one track. Video editing support. Surround Sound and (more multichannel) mixing. Scriptable with LUA. Includes it's own DSP scripting language (Jesusonic) with hundreds of included (and source available) tools made with it. Great support for odd or rapidly changing time signatures. Rock solid latency compensation (looking at you, Ableton). Ability to undo even after saving (looking at you again, Ableton). Completely theme-able.

Reaper isn't a perfect DAW, none of them are. But it's up there with the rest and has some features others can only dream of.

Reaper is officially supported on OSX and unofficially supported on Linux. Many VSTs run fine under Wine.

Web developers spend most of their time in javascript - coding fronted where closures and functional programming matters a lot. Maintennable modern fronted is done that way.

They spend very little time staring at http error codes. Like, none.
Why do you think it works this way and not the other way around as well? Grocery stores shop their data around to see who will pay the most for it. A person who is out of work goes to the local courthouse and requests a bunch of records, compiles them into a spreadsheet and then cold (or warm with something like LinkedIn) calls to see if anyone is interested in the data. An online quiz company is going out of business, and as part of their bankruptcy settlement, they sell off their database of answers at auction. etc, etc, etc.

As pointed out elsewhere, it's a marketplace, and as such there are going to be buyers and sellers. Some of those sellers are going to be primary sources themselves.

I like the sharpness of RGB though, composite looks a bit blurry. As someone who grew up with emulators and ports (J2ME, Nokia N-Gage…) I'm used to e.g. the vertical stripes on water in Sonic :D
I'm sorry to be the bad guy here and point this out, but ... this article is completely wrong :/

An emulator outputting 100% perfect RGB pixels onto an LCD screen is very different than running an analog RGB output to a CRT television.

I have a PVM-2530 CRT, and a hand-built Multi-AV to PVM-CMPTR adapter board ( http://i.imgur.com/EgCX2EJ.jpg ), and the colors still blend perfectly fine in his example of Kirby's Dream Land 3, as well as the more odious test case of Jurassic Park's translucent menus.

CRTs don't have an "official" horizontal resolution .. the number of RGB columns is dependent upon the tube and its size, and there's never an exact match against the analog nature of the RGB output from the SNES to the columns on a TV. So the colors naturally bleed together and produce the desired translucency. Maybe just a touch less severely than composite, but well more than enough to achieve the desired blending effects -- without all the horrific composite video artifacts.

Further, my SNES emulator simulates this effect as well, by choosing "Video Emulation -> Blurring." It doesn't quite work the same way as a CRT would, but it simulates the effect very nicely. It's not yet connected for my Genesis emulator, but that's only because it's very new and has more pressing issues to address, but it'll be there in time as well.

I can't speak for how these effects look on an XRGB-Mini (I haven't tested these types of translucency tricks on mine yet), but I would venture a guess that it would not even look close to as 'pristine' (striped) as the emulators output: it's still having to use an ADC on the RGB lines, and that's always going to be lossy to some degree.
I feel like he went through all this effort just to make the joke "A more perfect union."

But seriously, a great write up. std::any looks like it could be dangerous in the hands of the inexperienced, especially in a sea of other changes that makes working with types easier and safer.
A Year of Projects – Validating my business ideas and realising creative projects
I made an attempt at this around 2001, as part of the XScreensaver collection. See video at https://youtu.be/p3QZqhp67l8?t=30s. It generates an NTSC signal, adds noise, and recovers the H and V sync and color in a DSP implementation following the schematic of an old TV. It reproduces the color fringing of text and many other cherished artifacts of Apple ][ computing.
And like I said "you have a lisp" isn't actionable feedback. It is a factual statement, but it suggests no action, and in fact, the person with the lisp likely already knows.

Because "it doesn't scale" doesn't imply that you need to increase capacity right now. "It doesn't scale" could mean that "this will be problematic when you have 2,000,000 users", or as you used it, it could mean "I can't get to your site right now". Personally I don't consider "it doesn't scale" to mean "I can't use your app right now".

Which comes back to my core point, once again, that your original post, "Doesn't scale", isn't actionable feedback, it didn't clearly convey any immediate problem nor did it provide a clear action to follow. The fact that you've had to clarify your post to multiple other users should be evidence of that.
Which must necessarily be urgently addressed by open immigration for anyone who can write code! The future of silicon valley demands it!

Most jobs in this world do not require a laborious interview process with timed puzzles and riddles.

Bear in mind that the companies that do put people through that kind of thing do it because they can. When you have people lined up down the street to work for you, you can be very selective in who you hire and put them through all kinds of skill tests before hiring, to triple check that they have the requisite skills. Many (most?) companies do not have that luxury.

I'm surprised people bother spending so much energy looking for someone who is both a statistician and a computer scientist knowing they are so rare. There are so many more statisticians who can at least communicate and work effectively with developers and vice versa. Why not just compose a team?

I don't think that the biometric issue has anything to do with it.
