WebSockets is not really a layer over HTTP as such; it uses an HTTP request format to set up the connection, but then it's mostly just a raw socket (with message framing, like in UDP).

Your question is still valid, I'm just dispelling the myth that WS is like TCP-over-DNS or something similarly inefficient.
I think this is the answer. Look at all the recent threads about grads struggling to get a job. The experience you'll get from this sounds golden. Then again it probably doesn't hurt to ask for more money. And learn to manage their expectations about what is achievable. One way is to come up with a roadmap you are comfortable with for 4 months and present it to them. Also maybe get quotes from experienced devs and show how much cheaper you are.
I private label. Amazon's respose process for this is completely broken. Right now we are having several entities jump on; as part of our process for getting counterfieters off of our listibgs we make test buys; probably 10 buyers have sent exactly the same email, including a weird space between a word and a comma.

Want to know how truly bad it is?

Look at this listing:

Anonymity would not affect diversity, but it would not necessarily enforce it. Indeed until all races, genders, sexual orientation, socioeconomic strata, etc. apply in identical numbers, one must discriminate in order to guarantee diversity.

EDIT: Upon further reflection, anonymity could help combat ageism (scrubbing specific graduation and employment dates, for example). but in the general sense I believe the point still stands.
> At a minimum, long-polling requires a server round-trip per message. Among other problems, this limits throughput to (message size / latency).

I don't see why? Just have N multiple outstanding requests to the server (with N being large enough to achieve whatever communication rate you can accept). When the server wants to send you something, it picks one and replies to it. While you're busy processing it the server can still reply to anther one and send more data. When you're done you send more outstanding requests to the server to reach N again.

And if you ever run out of outstanding requests, then that's equivalent to your socket not being able to accept a new connection because there are too many pending already, which can always happen.
Depends upon how you look at it. I find the idea of property rights a bit funny because every physical thing you can own exists because in the past someone murdered the fuck out of people to own what it's made from.

In that regard, intellectual property is the only property not built on human suffering.
1,000 jobs is about what the American economy creates every two hours. Politicians tout these deals because they know that most voters are clueless about the magnitudes involved.
I was recently trying to buy AKG K712 headphones on Amazon last week and many of the units sold as "New" and fulfilled by Amazon were actually used or refurbished. I literally went through 4 different units from different FBA merchants before I gave up and bought it on the official Harmon audio store instead.

One-day delivery is nice, but I'd rather wait a couple weeks and pay extra if it means getting an authentic unit.
Totally anecdotal but before the over 60yr old office manager was hired only young were hired (college and under 30). Now, recent hires include two over 55 women. Interviwees are only older.

We concluded it is a simple as who does the hiring.
Your solution #2 is one of the major selling points of "blockchain".

Unfortunately the hard part is getting everyone along a supply-chain to participate in a new tracking standard that could easily reveal valuable information to competitors. So it's probably not going to be adopted except in cases where counterfeiting is an obviously greater threat.
liked the film a lot, the best parts were the clips of Baldwin himself speaking. Spellbinding is exactly the right word.

i was somewhat distracted by Jackson's narration. a huge contrast in energy. spoken, basically, like an older man. and i suppose that could be by design since i gather the narration is from later writings of Baldwin. either way, i thought it was interesting how much extra magic and feeling he could convey in the words, via his delivery. it certainly has a way of cutting through any preprogrammed white defensiveness that may be secretly lingering.

im sure a lot of this footage is on youtube (especially the panel with MLK and Malcom X) and i would definitely check that out if nothing else.
Um, the graph doesn't match the given list of vertices and edges. At all. In the very first paragraph.

Added later: they fixed it. Quietly.
They would. They're terrible at it, and they're probably no better at shooting down a 1 foot wide drone than they are geese.

They're designed to shoot jets and helicopters, big things with a well-defined thermal or radar image.
> When talking about software the work on the Linux kernel has clear, undeniable social value. Same for projects like Postgres and other indispensable tools. And this is mostly the work of volunteers, who during their day job work on software that does not meet this "clear, undeniable value" benchmark.

Note that in several projects, including at least linux and postgres, the percentage of purely volunteer work is constantly decreasing. See e.g. https://lwn.net/Articles/713803/
I've been a long term customer as well. From what I've seen they just really don't give a toss about their customer. They make a lot of money and don't have to do anything via their market.

Only solution... stop using Amazon. Go elsewhere for everything.
I whished I would have been with older classmates, I connected much better with those a year ahead. I also was boored from the 2nd year of elemantary school onwards.

However I don't remember the extra kindergarden year and how nice it probably was compared to school. I'd guess this was more important, but I'm not sure. After all it's 1 year (an important year though, becuase childhood is so very important), against 13 years that might have been better.

Finishing school a year earlier I don't see as a benefit. It took me extra year after school to really know what to do further anyways.
Well part of that is that in the United States every single state and multiple municipalities set their own rules for taxation. It is quite burdensome for an online retailer to comply with this (whereas a brick-and-mortar retailer generally only has to worry about the one set of rules for where it is located). In fact, one reason Amazon may have changed its mind about whether it should be mandated that online retailers collect sales tax is that the complexity of doing so may keep new competitors without Amazon's vast resources out of the market.
An A-10 could probably deal with it, but yeah, it'd also obliterate anything in the background.
I see. What exactly is the step that is the biggest bottleneck in long polling that is being eliminated here?
IMHO, those are often rationalizations - the real reason is often that an older worker must have obviously 'failed' in some way to be asking for the job in the first place.

It's threatening to people's narrative that if they work hard, they will be rewarded. So, obviously, an older worker must not be a diligent worker.
This article is naive to the HUGE patent library Apple will be capitalizing on for iPhone 8, which will be a device to see. I've heard to called as ambitious as the original iPhone.

To the comments on platform shift, might you call it a paradigm shift? If so, Thomas Kuhn, the man who popularized that phrase in his book "On the Nature of Scientific Revolutions" argues that individuals within a revolution would likely not be aware of such a fact.
Much akin to medical students undertaking a residency, no?

> Meanwhile, multiple brands of existing, human-driven cars already have the ability to detect an impending collision and avoid it, either through automatic emergency braking or other mechanisms.

Without more details we can't say whether this accident would have been avoidable with those systems.
The claim of Excocet backdoor rest on the thin reed that somehow the French supplied the codes but U.K. Leaders didn't use them, willingly risking the lives of hundreds of their sailers, for "strategic reasons", while the U.K. Was already in danger of quitting the war had they lost more key ships such as carriers or transports.

And Exocets were "fire and forget" missiles with 3 mins to target flight time. They had no need for a remote control system once launched. They flew only a couple meters above the sea, and didn't turn on radar until half way into flight, making them extremely hard to detect until the last seconds.

Super improbable that any backdoor ever existed.
If you’re serious, that’s... the worst solution I’ve heard yet.

That’s the same mistake C did with void, Java did with Object and corrected with generics in 1.5, just called interface{} this time.

And while with python and Java, even if I circumvent the type system, I can still use annotations (see typed python, or JetBrains @Contract, Google’s @IntRange, etc), with Go I have nothing of that sort.

Types are useful to provide safety, if your type system has to be turnt off, then I am losing all that safety, and might as well code in PHP (although they also* saw that mistake, and are fixing it now, with 7.0 and later).
Uber suspends testing of self-driving cars after crash
True true, and this sub-thread is specifically about someone who is afraid to use c++ due to lack of a linter. I've used c++ for the majority of my career, and all I really wanted to say to @codebeaker is don't be afraid to learn c++ for lack of a linter, because it comes with one. My mistake that I framed it in an argumentative way, that ultimately wasn't my intent.
Bingo.

Cheaper, too.
The listing says, and I quote: "Apple A1385 USB Cube Adapter ..." (in the title) and "Includes 1 Apple certified charger cube". I'd bet that neither is true.
I guess you were illegally leaving all the use tax off your tax returns then.
You can disagree that animals can perceive pain, or that killing is wrong, but you can't disagree that what we do to them wouldn't be torture and killing if done to a human. Most people also wouldn't disagree that animals react to painful stimuli and would struggle to explain how they don't feel pain.

IMHO this is just a really common form of cognitive dissonance, and that internal discomfort comes out as aggressive dismissal in a lot of people.
> I don't doubt that there's age discrimination going on in the industry.

I actually do, but I'm eager to be convinced by facts.

How would you measure this? Does anyone do that?
A counterpoint to this is Derek Abbott's "The Reasomable Ineffectiveness of Mathematics." Personally, I think domains with low-N (dimensions and sample sizes) and high complexity remain beyond the optimistic expectations of Eugene Wigner. https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/462d/7b6b1ee8243b6aa8897be3...
In Massachusetts it doesn't matter how small it is; you're still subject to the use tax. Of course it's practically impossible to verify and very few people even have accurate records.

Helpdesk was my stepping stone as a degree less high school dropout getting into a software development role. They can certainly serve a purpose, but I wouldn't stay there longer than I had too given a choice.
While I agree in general, I don't think we have enough details here to say that this was preventable by the Uber car, or any existing car. It's possible that the officially-at-fault car was sufficiently outside the envelope of expected behavior that no system could have prevented the crash. Stuff like predicting whether someone else will yield is basically mind reading, a Hard Problem in the general case.
I'm 40 with 20 years of real and varied industry experience (big and small companies; crossing systems, desktop, and much web/distributed dev), rabidly curious, and deeply study (and use on real, often side projects) bleeding edge this and that. What I think is my core value is the long-developed ability to build sound/robust architectures fast, with very good estimation and delivery prediction, and using latest tools, platforms, and technologies.

I know this may sound self-promoting, egotistical perhaps but I believe it's true. Less experience brings a lot of risk in the form of opportunity cost -- without hard-won experience, you simply don't yet have the ability to predict delivery or make the kind of "don't-look-back" decisions and optimal prioritizations that comes with mastery.

I can go to market and find a few companies that can pay my current salary. But the jobs I've been interested in (often medium-sized companies) seem to be trying to fill out a slate of 5 junior/mid-level roles, implicitly devaluing the kind of experience that I have.

I don't blame them. How do you demonstrate that you can truly "make better prioritized decisions" or "build sound architectures quickly" -- I can do these things, but the proofs are all counterfactuals. I know people in the industry for more than 20 years who did not cultivate their skill set. So how does a company first differentiate between me* and the other 20-year veteran? On the job you'll experience the difference in talent between him and me, but how do you a priori tell?

We need a way to show the houses we've built in our careers. How I can I show you that the 100,000 LOC code base(s) that I built or refactored at my last job(s) is stucturally sound with little leaks and supports agile development? As opposed to the other guy who left his spavined˜construction to a company in misery trying to maintain it?

Then the second thing is how do get these companies to value the skill set? "Working" is the mantra of the day, but "working" code that's not "sound" doesn't just start bleeding you in a year or two but in weeks from now. In other words, 20 years is worth paying for.

* Swap "me" for "some guy who _has_ mastered his craft to the level I'm describing".
Yes, needs definition, but assume there is a definition.
They do it because it makes them tons of money.
The F-35 pilot who flew during the F-35s overwhelming defeat by an F-16 in dogfight testing (yes it lost to a 40 year old design that had its performance degraded by keeping wing tanks on) reported the helmet was too large for the confined cockpit and made turning his head to see the enemy difficult.

It's also been reported that the helmet is a safety risk because of its weight.
The desktop PC became the dominant computing platform almost 40 years ago with the introduction of the first generation of affordable home computers (Apple II being the primary example). Even though laptop sales have overtook desktop sales around 10 years ago, the preferred form factor (15"+ screen) and intended use (sits at a desk 90%+ of the time) of the vast majority of laptop owners means the majority of laptops are nothing but desktops that happen to be easier to move to another desk.

Even though the amount of time spent using desktops and laptops in a desktop-like manner is decreasing, it's still a form factor found in every home. There may be more smartphones in that home but in my opinion, any product which is universally present in people's home is dominant even if it isn't being used as often as other options. Another example of this would be the microwave versus the oven. I'm not sure which one is used more often than the other but both are still dominant in terms of their universal presence in every home.
But this way it's the car buyer who assumes the risk in case the timesharing model is less lucrative. The manufacturer doesn't want to hold any more inventory than it already has to.
The name of the product says "Apple" and includes an Apple model number. I see nothing, other than the shady price, to indicate it's not genuine.
That's easy for someone who's worked at many different companies. What about the applicant who's primarily worked for a single company for many years? This is much more likely to be true for an older applicant. Do you lie about how many years you worked at the company?

Regardless, it still doesn't solve the problem for foreigners who may have only worked for companies outside the US.
Totally agree... there is a misunderstanding about the problem. In fact, the education system is not flexible enough to adapt to the children's mental age. And, therefore the education system as it is designed is causing damage to a group of students.
A solution might be delay 1 year to enroll the children. Another solution is to subdivide the admission to 2 or 4 times per year or ideally grouping students by maturity level and personalized education.. but I guess the cost might be prohibitive.

False. Syndros is delta-9-THC.
Ugh. We have lots of people in our area into the whole red-shirting thing, where parents send their kids later and later, then bitch about kindergarten not being 'academic' enough for their enormous child who is 1-2 years older than the other kids.

I seem to recall that most studies show the advantage of this practice fades over the years. As the article suggests, class is heavily correlated here with the practice (more likely to be able to afford another year of childcare).
Social Entrepreneurship and a New Understanding of Profit
Just for the record I've worked on large codebases but 100,000 LOC isnt the goal just an example. Mastery of course (typically) yields smaller code bases.
What conclusion should be drawn from that listing?
This is one of the reasons why Apple is still great. Their designs are thoughtful and deeply-considered. They may disappear up their own asses with a fair amount of regularity, but that doesn't stop them from excelling in certain areas (such as, indeed, privacy and security).
There is a reason whey employees over the age of 40 are an legally protected class: your story isn't unique.
Mine actually was counterfeit. I could tell because the phone comes up with the message "please replace your unauthorized battery with a genuine battery" and the phone wouldn't work. My phone is at that point where it starts working slow for no reason despite all the free memory. I've been using samsung phones since 2005 but now I'm never getting another samsung.
It isn't directly related to my graduation (I never needed to work to gradaute) more like I took a job at the school, like a librarian, but instead a developer.
Since you brought up IQ, I'd guess this was something about the bell curve. It's not obvious what "nuance" could have to do with that, however. Perhaps that was an unhinged spell-correction of "variance"? Sometimes I wonder if people post with imprecision because they think that way...
This is unlikely to happen. I've been following this industry and have seen so many failures thus far, that Nautilus will not be anywhere ready for mining by 2019.
As a shy introvert myself whose even been suicidal in years past, I'm thoroughly aware of the obstacles it presents. However, since becoming a personality researcher, my views have shifted to viewing it more as a net positive for a lot of things, and it's certainly less of an uncommon opinion these days:

https://youtu.be/85s9wJlzkrk

That being said, there are a variety of other character traits that play a role in how different people reach success, thus part of the issue is simply the interpretation of "success" itself, because quite often we look to very specific examples of successful people (e.g. Steve Jobs) or paths, that don't suit our personality taits nor strengths at all, and set us up with unrealistic expectations for ourselves.

Success comes in all forms, shapes, and sizes, so there should be no reason to let certain traits limit us on the hunt for success, when the game is largely about filtering out the noise and focusing on paths and pursuits that actually play to our strengths, instead of ones that make us perpetually anxious and stressed out.
I don't think I was apple bashing - just the contrary. I have one and think it's great - I develop for Apple products, I said maybe his was broken. A bit confused...
I pretty much don't buy anything expensive from Amazon anymore. I've been slowly going back to B&M or ordering direct from manufacturers. Even if you do get the correct item, I've had enough things damaged during shipping that I'd rather just buy the thing from a store and drive it home myself. I still buy from Amazon, but only cheap and non-fragile things.
I use since a year https://ondevice.io which does ssh and others via websockets. I run it in all my devices an I'm very happy.

I think this is the Deep Forest paper you meant:

http://www.cv-foundation.org/openaccess/content_iccv_2015/pa...

That's Deep Neural Decision Forests; they benchmark against MNIST and obtain state of the art results.

The other paper is about improving decision forests, although it also uses MNIST as a benchmark.

Apologies if I'm wrong and you did mean the Zhou & Feng paper.
Physics means it will never win a dog fight against any front line fighter of the last 50 years. It's weight/aerodynamics/control surfaces are all compromised for better stealth and cross service requirements (VTOL).

It's role is to be a standoff weapon that can shoot opposing fighters out of the sky at long range before their sensors can detect it. The problem with that is at 1,200 MPH closing speed they go from long range to dog-fight in less than 5 mins, and closing speeds can easily be twice that.

The other problem is it has limited other roles. It's too fragile and lacks the ammo capacity for ground attack. It can be effective at taking out ground targets from a distance, but that's not what ground forces need, they need a tough plane with lots of ammo to fly slow and low with great loiter time.

Stand-off is useful for SAM sites, but that's a damn expensive plane for a role far cheaper drones are perfect for.
