I work at a health care company in the US and I've seen many tattoos but they were only because they were sticking out of shirts (such as lower neck that was just above shirt when not wearing a collar) and not covered fully by the shoes they were wearing. Nobody really knows if others have tattoos because they aren't shown.

Bottom line is that tech is more than just laid back startups but there are more formal companies too. If you get something make sure it can be covered up easily as not everybody is as open to tattoos and some companies have policies about them as well.
Sorry if this is too personal, but did you think your parents were blowing hot air or something?

This thread has been eye-opening from the perspective of all these comments who (apparently) had negligible guidance from a group of people (parents) who absolutely need to talk about debt to their kids.

Maybe a silver lining in this topic is a generation of future parents who will have better conversations with their kids around going into debt for their college education.
Aurora was his worst book, IMHO, and definitely shouldn't dissuade you from his other work.

Currently I'm working on Rakun.js (https://github.com/lukaszkups/rakun.js/tree/dev) (but as You can see I didn't push code to dev branch recently <oops>) - it's an un-opinionated JavaScript framework.

The idea behind Rakun.js is to create framework that doesn't require any additional dependencies but at the same time provides all the modern framework features (router, state management, components).

My main objective is to create tool, with a bit old-school'ish feeling (e.g. front-end devs, who worked till now only with jQuery etc. should feel like at home during work with Rakun.js) but at the same time powerful as other modern frameworks.

If I should compare Rakun.js to something, that will be Vue.js, but without templates method - it will be up to developer which render solution he will choose and how components will behave when their state updates.

You can read more about Rakun.js on my website: http://lukaszkups.net.
In spite of what the article claims, the vast majority of employers do NOT let you work remotely 100% of the time. They are mostly located in the big/expensive cities, so that's where developers will go. There's really no mystery there.
Why do you think I'm not saving aggressively? I have saved at least a six figure quantity every year since my early 20s, which seems sufficiently aggressive to me. Being able to save is part of being able to afford living here.

You're right that I could take a higher paying job in the suburbs or in a rural area and save even more, but money isn't everything to me.
Why? He listed his reasons for the ban in the thread. He though the customer was rude, so he disabled the $100 device he sold.

Gradget just now deleted a comment recommending contacting Amazon and the US attorney general, and has locked the thread.
Why was the original title modified? I thought it captured exactly what happened perfectly, and was not a click-bait.

Anyway, the Amazon page is getting attention from ArsTechnica and Vice journalists. It's getting more and more interesting.
Well, they do have many things in common:

* Warm weather year round

* Lots of great universities

* Large hispanic population (and immigrants in general)

* 2 largest states in the contiguous US

The most glaring difference is probably the conservative politics. But that's mostly the rural areas. And the hispanic population may actually help change that.

Note: not implying that all hispanic people automatically vote democrat, just that they do in general.
This only makes sense for those who think that removing congestion is intrinsically good. The social cost of removing congestion must be taken into account. Nobody likes to drive in congested roads, still many people choose to do so because of the outcome (hint: work). Reducing the congestion is useless if drivers are not free to enjoy the liberated roads.

PS: Yes, I agree with taway_1212
US does not have immigration program for outsiders. H1B to Green card path is mostly co-incidental. H1B is a temporary work visa and the person is expected to show evidence he will go back to his home country.

Ah, okay, I just assumed that they were using the building only for the scam, not for actual renting.
According to this article, people who went to college still do better then people who did not went to college in terms of home ownership. Which is exactly the same result I have seen in other similar stats.

They are not doing as good as they were expected to and that has consequences. However, the assumption so many people in this discussion take for granted - that young college graduates did overwhelmingly stupid decisions is simply wrong.
This. We have still 8 months left. How hard can it be to design a tower? I guess Apple is having some interesting trick in their sleeve, but come on, how long could it take? Just throw a few more engineers on it!
Proprietary licenses are not viral, in that they don't spread. They'd be better described as poisonous, since distribution stops completely.

Right now I'm mostly focused on building NeuralObjects, an open source "Machine Learning As A Service" platform, and the associated hosted service offering to go with it.

The idea is to simplify the provisioning of compute clusters and the installation and configuration of various F/OSS platforms and toolkits for Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, and then provide convenient APIs for common operations. For the first release (coming Real Soon Now, really) we'll have engines based on DL4J, probably SystemML, and a very simple engine based on Apache Commons Math (for doing simple stuff on a small scale). We also bundle Apache Zeppelin as part of the stack, for interactive analysis in a workbook format.

We'll have a REST API for operations like - defining models, training models, working with model versions, and making predictions with models. We'll probably also offer an RPC based API for predictions, likely based on gRPC.

Long-term, the vision is to serve as a one-stop-shop for all of the popular (and maybe some not-so-popular) F/OSS tools in the ML/AI space. Some things are are on the roadmap include Tensorflow, Caffe, Keras, Mxnet, SK-learn, and MLLib.

The first cut is using clusters based on Hadoop/Spark, but we'll probably also add the ability to provision MPI clusters. We'll also be exploring how to possibly take advantage of the Amazon FPGA instances down the line.

And since the whole thing will be OSS, anybody who wishes to install it locally will be able to do that as well. To that end, we plan to eventually add support for provisioning with OpenStack. We'll also add support for other cloud environments besides AWS at some point.
Great tips. Watching myself speak is extremely painful. Last time I could only get through half of the talk. The next time I plan to sit through the whole talk. I haven't tried the last tip but I will definitely try it next time. :)
> I think the one thing this really showed was most people on reddit don't really care about politics, but the vocal minority on there makes it seem like it's the forefront of every issue.

Isn't it also possible for the reverse to be true? That a very vocal minority cared very much about r/place, and that vocal minority happened to not care enough about politics to show up on Place?

This looks real baller! I'll have to look into ARK...
I would say rather that the GPL treats "the user" and "the developer" as one and the same, and while this is often not true in practice it is an important principle; without it, the user can never become the developer. And only a tiny fraction of users need to become developers for every user to benefit.

(A distinction not unique to software, and under threat in other places as well: "no user servicable parts inside". Many might be helpless, but who could argue that enforced helplessness is a good thing?)

I don't think we necessarily disagree - you think outsourcing the liabilities was a bad move, presumably because in private hands, collections will be ruthless... I'm complaining about the same point. I just see no reason why "private actor" must imply ruthlessness. The terms of the contract or laws governing the collection of gov't loans could be written to enforce a fiduciary-like expectation into the arrangement.
That's a pre-requisite. :)
Actually, 285 heading east from 400 yesterday evening was surprisingly light yesterday... I was prepared for the worst and it didn't happen.
right. i agree. and the original post seems to make an unjustified leap at the end. after spending the entire article discussing how traffic congestion didn't increase, they say:

...its a strong sign that more modest changes to road systems really don’t have much impact on metropolitan prosperity.

the amount of traffic congestion and the economic prosperity of the Atlanta region are not the same thing at all. where does the article support the notion that the economy was not hurt?
Damn, I had no idea. Growing up in the suburbs of Boston, I literally knew no one who had a tractor.
To be fair I don't think any new system would replace the current university/college system wholesale, at least for a long time. Honestly I'd take the trade off of being able to study degrees that don't provide careers in my school, but that's just me. Such a solution probably wouldn't be right for 100% of people.

Thank you for your deep interest and comments.

First, it is not allowed to put other folder within a folder because the service was created as simple and fast as possible. If many users ask us to support ‘other folder within a folder’, we will improve it.

Focus or Enter key issues will be improved soon.

It will take some time to select multiple links at once and move them into a folder, but it will be improved.

Thanks again.
They did a good job of scaring people into taking vacations, telecommuting, etc. But a lot of businesses were hurt, especially restaurants. It's was great for me. You could walk in to any restaurant without a reservation.
That sounds great! I'd move back to Florida in a heartbeat if I could. I used to live on the beach for chrissakes. But it sounds like a tremendous risk. You're betting that you're always going to get to stay with that company that allows remote work, or that you'll be able to find another one.

I've done a tech job search while living in Florida--not pretty. It goes like this: Company's hiring manager: "Move to the Bay Area or GTFO." I eventually had to do it so here I am.
Did you ever play CoD (the original) singleplayer campaign? It was magnificent for its time, gritty like Saving Private Ryan, epic scores composed by Michael Giaccino, and full of historic flavor (ex: WW2 quotes upon death). You didn't play the CoD campaign and simply forget about Pegasus Bridge, or everyone getting mowed down in Stalingrad.

Once CoD:UO (and 2, and so on) came out, they began killing off the great historical single player experience they had.
Thanks.. yes that is something I'm planning. Keeping the engine super flexible. Currently does TF-IDF, Okapi BM25 or an Algolia like tie breaking algorithm.
I want some of whatever you're smoking.
This is super cool! The clackety-clack is soo satisfying.

I'm working with someone on developing electronic noses (arrays of gas sensors to identify compounds, do process automation), and he too is concerned on keeping the boards easily-built: DIP ICs, through-hole components, etc.

I always wonder what the actual demand is for this. Open-source hardware is great, but how many people are ordering bare PCBs, sourcing each individual resistor, power jack, trimpot, etc and soldering them? I use arduinos all the time and consult their schematics constantly, but I wouldn't dare build one when I can buy 3 nanos for $10.

I'm mostly making an argument for embracing the awesomeness of tiny surface-mount components and then getting a place like CircuitHub to do a fully-assembled bulk run of them.
You were not responding to me, but sorry, it didn't.

> Moreover, a case could be made that EME will make it easier for content distributors to experiment with—and perhaps eventually switch to—DRM-free distribution.

I can't see how the author made this leap.

> It doesn't matter if browsers implement "W3C EME" or "non-W3C EME" if the technology and its capabilities are identical.

It matters as a matter of principle. It would have sent a message. Maybe this would have made the W3C irrelevant, but if it did, so be it, at least they would have gone without compromising.

I see you already discussed with sametmax about this, so I won't go further.
Article doesn't mention -- long term support is potentially cheaper for open source than closed source. If the author is claiming that backwards compatibility is the reason windows sucks, and there are really organizations that need to use the same binary for 25 years (dubious), those orgs should consider OSS (not necessarily FOSS).

This is a claim that would need to be studied, but I believe it because of the combination of large part-time development expertise (large population of people who can at least build the software) and reliance on open source libraries (i.e. key APIs are being kept up to date).

That said, gnome is a monster too.

I was running the same version of Xcode on the same version of Mac OS on a 4-5 year old Macbook Air and it worked fine there, just slow.

I've certainly had Xcode crash once in a while, but this was something else. Tried reinstalling it and no change. I don't think I even got it to finish a build.
I hope they don't remove all the ports and give it wireless charging... :D

Do you have anything substantive to contribute on the topic or just ad hominem?

Being a Harvard expert professor does not relieve one of the duty to write clearly so the intended audience can understand precisely what you mean

Much of what the inexpert commenter said is obvious to anyone and needs no expert pedigree, like the notion that natural selection can only change proportions, not create new genetic content, which requires mutation.

> we consider this subject to be extremely complicated and research-heavy

No, no "we", the word you were looking for is "I" ... Nobody said this but you. Nobody else thinks that this is an exalted topic that without years of study we are incapable of talking about even lightly. Because it's not.

I second the Spectacle recommendation, but it is frustrating that you have to download an APP to do something that should be built into the window manager.

You're completely neglecting to consider other transportation modes.

Vancouver hasn't increased, only reduced, road capacity for decades and so resultantly the amount of cars entering the downtown core is the same now as it was in the 1960s.

Meanwhile the amount of jobs and people entering the area has exploded. How?

The city gave people other options.

Investment in public transit

Investment in protected cycling lanes

Built denser housing near the downtown core so people could walk to work.
If it's anything it would be the moderators of r/Place. The admin's job is more of administration level (sitewide), and it's more of picking up where the mod privileges end.

There are subs where swastikas are allowed.
In my case (and a couple of friends) the remote salary was slightly less than your typical SF salary but I had no "fixed location". Right now I'm in London working for a different company but the job is also remote. The point of working remotely should never be "find very cheap talent" but rather "find talent globally and remove geographical bottlenecks". Or something like that.

When negotiating a salary, don't let your current location define your salary because in a couple of months you could be in London, SF, NYC or Tokyo.
I use that method too. When I found out it was available I ditched my experiments with jj, jk, etc. This and finding out how many users just use / for most of their higher-level navigation needs has helped me quite a bit.

This is good advice... but it's hard to follow if you don't understand the costs of particular forms of testing, or what benefits they provide. This was part of the motivation for creating the model I referenced in a comment above.

Sloth is a modern day copy and paste manager that allows you to search snippets by both content and context. Context here being what program you copied from and the type of text (whehter it's an ip, python, or bash script, etc.).

Right now I am working on a custom machine learning model to do better text classification.

It's built on electron and I am adding slack integration to create a shared clipboard. Essentially, slack would act as a cloud storage.
This is really great, but the tagline sounds awkward. Something like "capture your most useful coding snippets" would be more to the point.

People buy those Apple monitors because they are guaranteed to work to with Apple computers.

At least that is the reasoning. They can complain to their local Apple Store to make it work.

Most end users have no clue, and they don't enjoy researching, so they don't know they could get something better for less money.
It is a thoughtfully crafted product regarding what
"command-line interface" should look like.

How so?

I've never appreciated what's actually good about powershell... you pass objects around? So...? Is that a thing that's useful?

If you want to just automate a task, having intermediate objects that are serializable (eg. strings) so you can `foo ... > blah` and inspect the value of blah before continuing (`cat blah | command2...`) has always seemed far more tangibly useful.

Having methods on an object you can invoke like a REPL for the OS sounds like a good idea, but I've never actually found it useful; its like the python REPL; useful for prototyping and doing stuff after you've imported the 50 packages and setup all of the environment, but once you open a new instance, you've got to spend the time doing that before you can actually do any work; and its useless for scripting.

...but, powershell gets a lot of love from people; so what do you actually find it useful for?

Honestly curious, I've only ever touched it briefly and then swapped over to other things.
Yes it is everywhere, but it definitely exists in different degrees among different cultures. Some societies show much greater preoccupation with other people's lives than other societies. Which is why some cultures are known as more "tolerant" than others.
I'm putting the final touches on a desktop app that will take audio files and chop and recombine them into entirely new sound libraries. The end product has been promising. But since a lot of it is node.js code calling GPL-licensed binaries, it's difficult to see how I could ever monetize it.

Nonetheless, I think it's some of the coolest tech I've ever built.
