When my folks buy a half or whole beef creature from the farmer down the hill, it works out to be cheaper than buying the same cuts at retail. Last time I ran the numbers it was $3.50 - $4/pound; of course that's over everything, from stew meat and liver to ribeyes and tenderloin. The farmer takes the animal to the butcher shop, where it's slaughtered, hung, cut, packaged, vacuum-sealed, and flash frozen.

In every way, it's superior to grocery store meat. You just need to be able to purchase it in bulk and have an entire freezer to store it.

It's generally much harder to poo on professions, after you've had to walk in their shoes.

Personally, I found that ML consulting gave me a valuable perspective on this process. So many hats to wear: research & development, lead gen & marketing, sales, support, product management, legal & IP, administrative & taxes.

Consulting definitely teaches you humility. You will no longer be "that researcher" who thinks whatever happens after their precious math formula or the 5-line Matlab prototype is "unworthy stuff for code monkeys".

Or that engineer who thinks "the suits" are out to ruin your perfect towers of code and logic, with their silly deadlines and requirements...

I'd suggest RAML for pure documentation. Its way of structuring resources is nested with the URI, so UI generators can use that information to group together in the docs.

Also it supports union types for request/resp. Which means that you can template a URI and have multiple response schemas to go with different values of the template. Unlike swagger which forces you to enumerate every endpoint if you want them to have different response schemas, which is very ugly for logically grouped sets of resources which aren't explicitly part of a collection.
I had a similar experience with an Australian ISP, although not with a typo.

When I moved house I had to make up a new username/email. They couldn't just change my address, they had to create a whole new account.

I'm looking at you, TPG. Truth be told, they have been a fine ISP, other than that WTF.
Already learned the joy of waiting for a Surface to drain, to force a reboot. Forbidding shutdown/reboot without authentication on the network was the proximate cause of the wait. But not being able to remove power, from a device that was not trusted, and could be doing anything in theory, was a sobering thought.

Should devices like tablets, with enclosed batteries, be required to have physical circuit breakers for power, as a security measure, if compromised?

We realized that we had to have a planned action to block MACs from the network, in response to any device having questionable integrity.

Even a small Faraday cage was considered - WiFi not the only radio on portables: laptops without removable batteries hop across LTE via VPN... so that was another policy to set a script to shut down.

Persistence, in this case of processes - or just not being able to remove a battery - is a threat that with good reason shocked us, because it is so ubiquitous. I believe the moment a unscheduled reboot or shutdown occurs, at the very least all LAN/WAN access needs to be automatically cut.

WebRTC allows you to connect directly to the IP addresses of other people viewing the same video as you (no fixed list), but their JavaScript could easily be detected & blocked. The value prop isn't a better streaming experience. It's that their customers don't have to pay hardly anything to serve their content and it's distributed so it's far more resilient to network outages. It shouldn't be tough to tell if someone is on a metered connected by looking at their ASN. I'm hoping they do that.
But that's already the problem: You start by ignoring instead of explaining things.

If you start with

print("Hello world!")

you can already start explaining your subjects everything they've just written and build from there.

So, you'll get around faster to teaching the mindset of programming instead of explaining access modifiers. Those are not needed for that.

Also, if you would start an explanation of anything new to me now with "oh, that's magic, just ignore it.", I still would walk away from your course if you can't explain that within a week.

It's just like taking a bus, so how will an app help?

Well, when the world isn't perfect, an app that readily answers questions such as "how long is the plane going to be delayed for?" or "when will they send us the baby carriage? We are tired of holding him." or "does that guy have a license for that submachine gun he's holding?" is appreciated.

And you can get those answers without getting up from your coffee table or calling the authorities.

The distinction should be made between training data and [actionable] data.

In the former case we are taking data, labeling it, then using it to build our nets and models. You are correct to an extent that it's a usable model once trained and that data is less important.

However, equally if not more important is the data that is being put into the net to come out as a result/action. Arguably this data comes through the same pipe as training data - and the pipes are similarly limited. So its ALWAYS important because you can't take an action or classify or otherwise without it.

When you add in the reinforcement mechanism, or later unsupervised techniques then those data mechanisms blur between training and action data so the point is moot. It's not a one run process in the long run, it's iterative and always evolving based on the user.

My anonymous (to everyone but the NSA) username will be a different anonymous username. The karma/privileges are entirely dependent on the quality of my posts, not some inherent value of the username. Also the posts that generated that karma would still be there under the new username.

No they aren't. This is a nice theory, but it simply does not hold up in reality. Stop repeating it as gospel.

People vet their employees either way.

No it isn't. This reasoning was used to justify the 90 day trial period in NZ and it did NOT lead to more jobs.

Real estate appreciates at 4% (on average, but let's say it's constant for the sake of argument).

I buy a house that costs $100,000. My down payment (cash out of pocket) is $20,000.

I pay 3.5% interest on $80,000 as I'm paying down the loan, plus property taxes and insurance, and it comes to $546.74/month [1]. The rent comes in at $550/month, pretty much canceling out the mortgage.

Am I making 4% per year on my investment, then, because that's the amount the real estate appreciates?

No, I'm making 4% of $100,000 per year, or $4,000, on my $20,000 investment. That's 20% per year. [2][3]

Leverage properly applied can raise your net profit.

[3] I'm ignoring repairs and vacancy rate for simplicity. Those obviously hurt profitability. But as I mentioned in [2] above, if you pick your investment property strategically, your margins are much higher, so that's your cushion.

I didn't do a whole lot of planning for airflow, but it seemed to work ok. The back was more open than the front. I built out a metal frame that was inserted into the box, but afterwards realized that I probably could have just bolted the rack mount rails to the wood and called it a day.

Unfortunately, it was kind of big and unwieldy for keeping in an NYC apartment. I wouldn't be surprised if it's still sitting in the Brooklyn apartment where I abandoned it during a move.
The problem there seems to be that you were learning an IDE/Gui builder and c++ at the same time. I still think I language that exposes pointers directly (c, c++, others?) are far better than something like python. Pointers force you to understand memory, allocations, the heap and stack, etc. There are way too many professional programmers that don't understand them.
Yeah, the Nazis were into license plate readers, big time. It's what they are most remembered for. License plate readers and genocide. But mostly license plate readers.
Or worse, someone designed the database correctly, but then added a (hidden to the user) unique identifier that's normalized in some way to make it short, unique, and limited on allowed characters.

Often /that/ doesn't get updated when they update the username, leading to mass confusing since external tooling will use that as the subject identifier instead of actually being given a proper internal identifier. (Offhand I can't recall if any particular standard happens to require that such an identifier start with a letter; at least one probably does.)
I am curious your life experience that makes you assume fixing the errors is doable with a phone operator. I'm from California, and my assumption is no, the person on the phone wouldn't be able to recreate the account with benefits/promotion.

In my experience with phone staff in any large org, once an error is committed, it's generally a one-way street. Attempts to get the person to fix things lead to worse and worse problems, more damage, more problems.

My experience with T-Mobile seems typical: simply wanted to take monthly plans of myself and wife (both with TMbl) and combine into a single family plan. By the time the ordeal was done, I'd forfeit the remainder of my month's payment into the plan, had no functional phone, was being bounced between two different departments neither of whom could fix it, and both of whom insisted the other was the one to fix it.

In the end I just let the money go and moved my phone number onto a competitor. I have no faith the competitor will fare better if some error is made.

The mapping layer to treat Optane as RAM, comes from ScaleMP. They have a free tier product. For heavily read intensive databases, cheap read optimize SSD can work pretty well with that. Now I don't have to also buy a product license with Optane, to do that, the price for the Optane drive looks much better to me.

Not sure drive is quite the right word, any more. Has a better nomenclature settled yet?
>He's deliberately made the java example of file input too busy, it's poorly written.

Do you have evidence to judge the intention of the author?

The simple truth is that good pedagogical code is hard to write in any language, but Java makes it especially hard since it makes the two most essential things, invocation and I/O, needlessly difficult. Java also makes graphics (AWT and Swing) and even something as simple as Date/Time needlessly difficult. Just about the only thing that's really outstanding in the standard library are the Collection classes (arguably util.concurrent is good too, but a) concurrency isn't for beginners and b) concurrency requires better language and runtime constraints, like those provided by Clojure or Erlang).

Java was invented for embedded devices and was supposed to be C without pointers that could run anywhere. Not quite sure how it ended up as an Enterprise Server platform. marketing, I guess.
The team needed to build such a plane might be far removed from the network or knowledge needed to raise the money necessary to build such a plane.

In that case, YC is tremendously helpful in giving the platform to raise enough money to do all of the hard things involved in building a plane that's never been built.

Time is the most precious resource in startups. One way to get more time is to have a phenomenal team, so you do things faster (either by building the right things faster, having the expertise to not build the wrong things, etc.)

Another way is by having more money, so you have a longer time to figure things out. When I say that the $120k isn't what is valuable about YC, I don't mean money in general. The fiscal benefit just tends to come indirectly, from access to platforms (Demo Day, press), investors, and pitch advice.
Isn't it crazy that certain new tractors (eg John Deere) and cars (eg Tesla S) come with dongled software? Just to destroy the reseller and after market, such evil things got introduced. If one buys a good, it should be his very own, like the law reads. Though this concerning movement is destroying the very fundament of owning goods. (Owning avgood is a lot cheaper in the long run. Also you can buy a good, when you have the money and still continue using it when you don't, because you own it. You can even sell the good to get some value of it back - well not anymore if you buy a good a dongled software with a kill switch - than you might own just a very expensive brick)

I quite enjoyed playing with Reason and would love to get a chance to use it for something at work. We use a ton of Scala on the backend here at Verizon Labs (so many of us are into hardcore FP) but we occasionally run into GC issues, so the OCaml runtime is something that could potentially mitigate that.

Can you talk about what FB uses Reason to develop, and what kind of services are being built with it?

>> It's like you think crime doesn't exist in New Zealand.

No, I just find it extremely unlikely for a single family to have been targeted in four separate cities. I firmly believe that any burglar deserves life in jail for their first crime, and tend to try not to blame victims for being targeted, but... 4 times across 4 cities, averaging once every 5-6 years? That doesn't sound legit whatsoever, unless the family is doing something to paint a target on their backs.

>> we used to have washing stolen off the line all the time so we would dry clothes in-doors

I mean no disrespect - frankly it's better for the environment and I would normally applaud - but in this modern age using an outdoor clothesline is a sign of poverty, meaning you at least lived in a poor neighborhood where outdoor drying was common. I would bet that you displayed some indication to your poor neighbors that you were not as poor as them. Maybe you're hanging $30-per-pair of designer underwear on your line while they are hanging $1 budget underwear from Walmart on theirs. You probably own a middle-class brand new car, > $30k off the dealership's lot, compared to their < $500 third-hand vehicle that barely gets them from point A to point B. The moment a poor neighbor living off welfare knows you are even slightly beyond their means, you WILL become their target. You might have been hanging clothes outside (ie: "possibly poor"), but you've shown otherwise that you have more money than someone who must hang their laundry outdoors to make ends meet. There is a perceivable difference between hanging clothes outdoors as an optional luxury, vs. being forced into doing so by being at a financial disadvantage.

Source: only been burglarized once and it was while I was earning an above-average income, while living in a poor neighborhood. I know it was my neighbor who couldn't even afford to have electricity hooked up, and they saw me leaving to work every morning with my laptop case. It's unfortunate and disgusting, but yes - if you live in a poor area with more money and possessions than your neighbors, they will notice and make a victim out of you.

tldr; While you were living in a below-average income neighborhood, most likely working for a living while your neighbors lived on free welfare, you found them stealing from you? Forget your sense of basic entitlement and privacy for a moment; quite simply, am I right or wrong? Again, I'm not insulting you for your likely "above average" situation at the time. I'm merely trying to gauge against my own experience, which is that you will become a victim if you live amongst those who are poorer than you.

The solution, obviously, is for everyone to be a stakeholder and everyone to get a formal veto on the matter.

By all stakeholders I mean:

* The department needing the software.
* The department integrating the software (usually IT).
* The department(s) consuming the data.
* Any other departments that interact with the above dataflow (IE does it contradict things they are/plan to do?).
* Whoever signs off on the check.

The formal veto would include written problems with the proposal "this is not a good idea as proposed because Z" and/or "for this to work we need X as a requirement, but it isn't in the proposed spec".
So, in about 1997 or so I inherited a network where we had a Cisco router connecting Silicon Valley to a remote office but didn't have the password, so I hired a Ccie to help unpack the network and reset the password to this device...

So as we were working on the 3640, and we got the password out of it (which was "Feet4Monkey") he was telling me about how they (Cisco) was required to provide back-door access to the NSA

Again this was in the late 90s, and everyone thought EChelon was bullshit....

I haven't worked professionally since 1995, so my example will seems too obvious. It's hard to believe how drastically things have changed and how our expectations have changed.

My most striking work was finished in 1989. Any mildly competent programmer could use a framework to do what I did today. I had to carve my own framework out of a block of wood. Maybe I exaggerate a little bit. Yet, creating that framework wasn't really difficult. The technology (dynamic color graphics and mouse monitoring) had been around for a few years.

We had a data base of polygons representing the boundaries of geological formations, a data base of mineral deposits, and an extensible data base program (4D). I wrote extensions to display interactive geologic maps on a mac screen.

The user did a search for mineral deposits of interest. The mac displayed their locations on a custom map. When the user clicked on a location, the mac displayed the complete data record for the deposit. The user could get similar information for other objects displayed, e.g. faults, Forest Service boundaries... Believe it or not the USGS national headquarters was actually considering waking up Ronald Regan to show him what we could do. Times have changed.

Most GUI apps at that time were pretty static. Click on a button. Type into a text field. Click on a text link. Drag a rectangle... Complex displays that were custom created for the user and that contained deep information were largely unknown.

"Programmers did not do things like that." While I had great respect for those guys, they were self-limited by their expectations. The very real demands for small footprints and fast execution times imposed by hardware and software limitations of the past few decades had been so binding on the profession's expectations that few of us realized we were unnecessarily limiting our imaginations. Times had changed. The first time this app ran, it took 26 minutes. It did not matter. That's what the others missed. Any passing similar inspirations (and I'm sure many had them) were immediately rejected as unrealistically slow, too futuristic to consider practical.

I think that our expectations are still limited by excessive concern for efficiency. I admit that programmers working in a production environment have little or no choice in the matter. There, creativity is properly focused on obtaining efficiency.

The big question is what marvelous innovations are our current perspectives grounded in the past hiding from us, innovations that in the future will be considered mundane.
Yep! You know what I am talking about...
I bought a pair of dress shoes from Amazon on Cyber Monday.

The first pair arrived in a plan white box, and were damaged (not due to the courier).

I returned them to Amazon for replacement, and the pair I got back were in a fully branded box, with a lot more accessories than the first pair (storage bag, shape retainers).

So I'm left thinking that even though these were "Fulfilled by Amazon" there must have been some counterfeit mixed in with legit inventory. Otherwise I can't explain how the first pair seemed so... illegitimate in light of what I received as a replacement.
