Capital One Spark Business (Visa) has worked great for us.

Very friendly service, good online system (not as great as Amex though), $15K limit from day one for a new business with zero revenue at the time. Best of all, 2% cash back on every single purchase (no categories), which adds up to real money when you put all of your expenses like AWS on it.
I completely agree. I'm actually very much an extrovert, but I also do deep focused work (data science stuff) and really like being at home, in my locked "office" (walk-in closet with an attached bathroom) working on stuff. I get so much more done, and I love the efficiency of not having to get in my car and commute somewhere. Any kind of office environment will come with a commute, car maintenance, and a rigid workday. Wanna do a few hours, take a nap, and then do a couple more, have dinner with the family then do some more? Yeah, not happening in any kind of office I've ever worked in.

I WFH a couple days a week just so I can make up for the lack of productivity from the three days at the office.

Who's to say what's going through the mind of the person who wrote that job advertisement? If it sounds like work you'd like to do, it couldn't hurt to submit an application. If you don't hear back, you're not what they were looking for. The fact that you don't have what they posted for may be a deal breaker, but then again, it may not.

As a word of caution, a lot of overly-specific job postings are written with an internal hire in mind. HR departments often require that a public posting be made, but the manager seeking to fill the position writes it in such a way that it's basically impossible for an external applicant to satisfy the requirements. Unfortunately, there's no way of knowing, so you might as well apply.
Seems quite Vulkan-y. I'm interested to see how far the support with this one gets. Also, I'm not really pleased with the Apple-platform and Metal choices.

Typescript lints your code, then removes the types, leaving you with valid ES2015 that is EXACTLY your source code without types when you target ES2015 and stick to writing ES2015.

Typescript's transpilations are primarily to downlevel "future" ES features to previous ES versions (just like Babel). In my experience you absolutely can make assumptions about what the code looks like, and I have never been surprised by Typescript's output.

Typescript and Flow are a lot the same. Typescript has a few more "Babel features" built in.

My case was also a sqldump, actually. I forget what I eventually did. I think it had to do with hitting Ctrl-C to stop the entire file from loading up front, and only load the page I was looking at.

The link to this SO question was purple when I Googled this just now: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/908575/how-to-edit-multi-...

In retrospect, I do remember also messing around with disabling syntax highlighting and splitting the file up into more manageable chunks that I loaded into separate buffers.

For my purposes, I was trying to delete certain portions of the dump - so vim was the perfect tool to do something like "delete everything from line 850 to the next time this regex is matched", with a minimum of scrolling around and rendering things unnecessarily. iirc, Sublime just locked up and refused to scroll.

I wonder if I could have used Vintage to do what I wanted in Sublime?
yeah, you wanted a license because you were going to hammer them with questions and suck up all their smart peoples' time, and then complain loudly when they didn't heed your beck and call for $5000, possibly in a public forum, negatively affecting their business to the tune of $millions thanks to google.

guess what: so does everyone else. also guess what: there isn't any money in that, because that time:revenue isn't built in to their business model, because they are a software company.

$5000 is a lot to an individual. when an individual spends $5000, they want to feel important. to a real company, $5000 isn't even a single paycheck for a single senior software engineer, let alone sales person.
The snowball method is nice in that it frees up monthly cash flow due to having to pay fewer minimum payments. In these situations, it can certainly be good.

But in order to minimize payments overall, assuming you have no cash flow issues and self discipline, it's financially optimal to pay off your highest interest debt first (the avalanche method). I'm guessing it might feel psychologically better to pay off smaller debts as each of those paid off is a win, but it's financially irresponsible to recommend the snowball method to everyone.
People aren't missing the point, they just aren't engaging with it because TFA makes it's point by claiming category theory is expressively inefficient... but nobody programs in category theory, the link between point free programming in F# and category theory is meaningless. Tacit programming in F# is a reflection on tacit programming in F# nothing else.

So the commentariate has decided to talk about point free programming in general instead of engaging the article's very narrow and unsubstantiated point.
I like them. It's not that I don't like point-free functions but more often than not specifying the point makes sense in my opinion — more clarity, less beauty.
That's a good point. If they're corporate and the tractor driver is paid by the hour then the pressure to fix isn't there. Though I suspect a corporate farm would contract out harvesting so they pay a fixed cost per unit-area, and now the contractor is under pressure to fix asap.
I find it really funny when a site asks me to turn off my adblocker, and my blocked element count is displaying 60-100+. Not a chance.

Meanwhile, duckduckgo never asked. They're pretty awesome (check their wikipedia page) so I turned blocking off.

If we want the web to be a better place, we have to use and support companies who are making it one even if it means not getting to use the 'best'. Like Firefox. Damn I miss Chrome's performance, but the alternatives won't get better and compete unless we back them.
If you've never lived on freenode or one of the other support networks the community that develops open source is often very remote from the people that end up 'supporting' it. People sharing expertise is why databases like MySQL and Postgres win for all sorts of people, and there are many ways to provide this support that has nothing to do with contributing code.

A great example is melpa and marmalade for emacs. The difference between having a package manager and not having a package manager has transformed the open source project but all they are doing is mirroring a bunch of elisp.

Sometimes just providing the infrastructure to make a project available is the only reason why the project is popular. npm anyone?
Yes you should.

I hate this. Kubernetes is designed specifically for stateless applications; everything about running stateful applications on it now is experimental.

Running k8s/Docker in prod is hard enough for actually stateless apps, running a database in it is an utterly horrifying idea.

Please limit the extent of your lemming-ness to at least not attempting to containerize PostgreSQL or other old-school database systems. They could not be less suited to this type of application.
Such a challenge could be a huge disaster for the EC of India

Can a single EVM be hacked? when its not connected to internet - With sophisticated tech (and engineers) - Yes. Its digital electronics after all

Can that be done consistently across machines under different ambient environments? - Higher than 50% accuracy, but not 100%.

Can it be done at scale? No - that would be too costly even for the political parties with a higher probability of it becoming a widely known technique

But the answer to the first question is enough for the opposition political parties to force India into paper ballot voting. And paper ballot in India is easily hackable for political parties - just spend money, hire bullies and prevention is ensured not to work at this scale.
This actually proves that once the social cohesion has disappeared and that the fault lines have actually enlarged then these methods are just the tip of the conflict.
I prefer to work in my cubicle at the office instead of at home even though I am alone in the office for most of the time and all of my development team colleagues are in another country. The reason is that it is simply easier for me to concentrate there, fewer distractions, fewer excuses to take a break. But I'm glad I'm not in the same location as most of my colleagues in the team because they are in an open plan office so crowded that they have to leave the room to make a telephone call and need to wear closed headphones to cut out the distractions.

> He should totally bring a multi-million dollar lawsuit, it's a total cake walk as it'd be hard to find a jury that wouldn't sympathize and he and his grandkids would be millions of dollars richer. Not to mention all the dirt you can drag United through during the lawsuit in the media. Love to see some testimony from the dick CEO as well who tried even character assignation of the poor doctor they needlessly assaulted.

It'd be a cake walk alright ... for the airline.

Pilots have similar powers to the captain of a civilian naval vessel, and can legally refuse to carry passengers or order them off the aircraft:
https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-extra-ordinary-powers-tha...

Moreover, refusing to leave the premises when requested or to comply with the police when they arrived, is unquestionably against the law.

Even a jury has to operates within the constraints of the law or be overturned on appeal. Remember, the airline would be the defendant and has the right to appeal.

Sure, being bumped is lousy behavior by the airline but the doctor doesn't have a legal leg to stand on for his tantrum. If anything, the airline could probably sue him for delaying the flight and win.

As others have said, the answer is yes. It is so rare that someone will meet every listed "requirement" on a job posting. In the best case scenarios the companies are shooting for the moon in terms of what candidates they'd like. In the worst case scenarios they know no one can measure up and use the lack of fit as leverage in salary negotiations. Either way you should apply and see if they interview/make an offer.

If someone uses my phone to make a threatening phone call, I'm probably first in line to be investigated. Just because it's not inherently dangerous, or would result in legal consequences for the phone owner, doesn't mean it is a risk-free thing to do.

I would suggest to get the second business card (not for every employee, but for paying your critical service bills) from a different provider altogether, since the goal is to make sure the backup works when the primary one doesn't for whatever reason. So choose for example your bank's card as primary, with a corporate Amex as backup.

There are a number of differences, though. Roberts isn't trying to claim that she was a cradle Hindu (Dolezal found a black man to claim to be her father, with the implication of being her birth father). Roberts isn't taking any leadership positions in Hindu organizations or trying to speak publicly as a Hindu; she's been quoted as specifically refusing to speak about religion. Other Hindus, one would assume, helped her in the process of deciding to convert. She isn't trying to claim any identity other than a person who happened to convert to Hinduism and is practicing Hinduism privately.

Even if trans-race were a reasonable thing (and the reasons that it's unreasonable are far too complicated to get into, and far too off-topic), Dolezal's actions and Roberts' actions would still be very different. Even if you lived in a world where trans-race were somehow legitimate, I'd imagine lots of people would still be uncomfortable about Dolezal's approach to it. But religious conversion, in general, has long been accepted, and Roberts' conversion is extremely normal as conversions go.

It is true that occasionally religious identities that have ethnic identities get complicated; as a random example, the Eastern Orthodox churches in the US have some trouble with this, since the communities overlap heavily with ethnic (Greek, Russian, etc.) identity, and there are occasionally some awkward spots when converts to Orthodoxy start gaining leadership roles in the church (which is reasonable!) and then trying to mold it into the vision of the church that they were looking for before their conversion. But I wouldn't doubt the seriousness of these converts' conversions, even so, and regardless, Julia Roberts is doing nothing of the sort.
We did a survey on the current state of the container ecosystem
But could it be part of the reasons for its success ?
Yes, and to add to what others said: in cover letter say "I can do X and Y and Z and I'm a quick learner too", then give a real-world example of learning something new quickly. This will help reduce the perceived risk.

Applying for a job is a marketing exercise, you're trying to convince them that you are the specialized person they need. So if you're missing one specialized skill they mention, try to find another to emphasize... ideally one that other candidates don't.

The class system was already an EcmaScript proposal at the time Typescript adopted it, and what Typescript launched with was directly based on the ES proposal at the time. The proposal shifted a bit before it was finalized and TS did the necessary catch-up work to the final accepted specification. It hasn't added anything whole cloth other than types that wasn't in some stage or another an ES proposal. (From that perspective TS has always been Flow + a few curated Babel plugins.)
Thanks! I'll give it a try when I move to one of the paid services.

I switched careers at age 30 also (into programming). A buddy told me something that has held out to be true. Think of your career like you would guiding a canoe down a river. Parts of the river will bend and get narrow and parts will be wider and easier to navigate. Try to stick to the parts that are wider and easier to navigate and you'll be just fine.

Is that actually true? The Borg paper[1] mentions that Google uses it to run stateful things like Bigtable and GFS nodes, and as far as I can tell, Kubernetes has the exact same goals as Borg.[2]

As my hockey coach would say, you miss 100% of shots you don't take. The market right now is very tight, and hiring managers should know to hire on potential. Make sure you research the software ahead of time and try to analogize with something you've done before: "it seems like it's X that I've worked with before." I've found that works in cases like this. Go for it. At the very least, if you get in the door, it's interview practice.

I'd say they're correlated, which is part of the reason the fallacy arises. But the coefficient is different for every customer, so unless you're in a market with homogeneous buyers, any segmentation you devise is very likely to be wrong for almost everyone. See my longer answer nearby for some pathological examples.

Options aren't a bad thing, and an abundance of options can't be construed as Apple's fault here.

Back when the first Mac Pro launched there wasn't a huge difference between their machine and the theoretical best machine. A quad core Xeon system was pretty good by the standards of the time, and if you needed more horsepower you didn't have many options.

Now you can get a workstation with 36 physical cores if you can afford it. Apple cannot possibly hope to cater to that extreme end of the market, very few vendors even try. Dell only seems to offer dual 8-core workstations, HP offers dual 18-core...if you have $12K sitting around to buy one and the patience to configure the system properly.

As the theoretical high end keeps getting higher and completely detaching from what everyday professionals need, the most demanding of that group will find more and more reasons to complain about Apple's line-up.

"not enough"

This is my gut feeling too.
This guy is flat-out wrong. He bags on the CISSP - thats a friggin management cert, not a technical cert. Like bitching the CEH doesn't go hard into Opex/Capex.

Meanwhile on planet earth "draw up an inter-agency security agreement compliant with all local jurisdictional laws and industry regs" is also infosec and command line kung-fu will do fuck all to help you get it done.

This guy just drinks "unicorn" piss - he didn't get "trained", he's just so darn smart and hardworking and special. I bet his business card says "lead ninja" or some other IT fuckboy bullshit.
Turn around and run any time someone starts talking about "beautiful" code.
I would think if you have a consumer application that can't handle double what is set as the rate limit during a very small corner case (start and end of the the minute barrier) you have bigger problems. As you're still effectively enforcing your rate limit over time with that approach. This just sounds like micro-optimization at its worst.
I did ignore that mostly, you're right. My basic claim is that on average this is actually true:

> The only time avoiding the certificate entirely is when the signal it provides is negative.

And further, I think all your examples are perfectly valid, real-world examples that I don't dispute exist and that lots of people find important. I also think perfectly good and reasonable people operate in the reality of their industries and play ball with these things when necessary. AND I think all the use cases you mentioned are bad for the system overall. As in, they are real, and in a practical sense we can't just ignore them, but ideally we wouldn't have them.

HR using negative signals for filtering is bad. Job requirements tailored to the actual job are good. Broad and mostly arbitrary requirements from a third party are bad. Applicants to a well specified job also know to address weaknesses in their cover letter. Specific and well-specified requirements are also useful in legal disputes. Using arbitrary requirements to provide legal for firing people is bad. Employers colluding to control the training pipeline using arbitrary requirements encoded in law is bad.

I agree with you that they useful in the real world, but I'm arguing that that usefulness is evidence that the system is worse than it could be.
I'm not sure it is quite the same, since it is WAL based (i.e. can you write to any node?)

There is semi-sync in MySQL as well, which ensures N replicas have received a write.
