http://www.pilotjobsnetwork.com/jobs/Mesa - First Officer (copilot) in their first year at the company makes $19/hour, and is guaranteed 76 hours/month. Equates to $17,328 pre-tax. It's why so many regional pilots commute, because they can't afford to live near the major airport which they're based at. The result is fatigued or sick (no pay if you call in sick) pilots operating these flights.

But hey, supply and demand. They wouldn't be able to pay so little if pilots weren't applying, and that won't change anytime soon because flying at a regional for a few years is a way to build hours and move on up to the mainline airline.

That's not quite true. Microsoft To-Do doesn't implement nearly the same set of features than Wunderlist does.

What a rubbish article.

In Australia for example it has NOTHING to with Indians and the situation is basically the same in all the countries listed. It is pure politics within the right-wing governments in power caused by the rise of nationalism, the struggles of blue collar workers who have been left behind and the fear of terrorism.

Politicians are so scared of being flanked by the right (e.g. Tony Abbott in Australia) that they are pushing the anti-immigrant angle at every opportunity. But if you look at the details you will see that any immigration changes are more about "feeling good" than doing anything substantive. For example recent changes in Australia have seen a "values" test added which is hilariously pointless. And in fact we have made it easier for highly skilled migrants to enter the country e.g. Indian IT consultants.

I'm cycle daily from Dalston to Holborn. And my daily commute was more or less similar for past 7 years. Most of the time I take main roads and I feel safe. I know all the sections well, know the sketchy bits where it's better to stay behind the traffic, etc. If you're not bothered to add +10min to every 30min of your commute, you can take smaller side roads which are usually very quiet and most importantly free from large vehicles. No accidents so far. Can't comment on effects of pollution though, I have no idea.

Surely you mean floppy drive?
That's a relief. Wunderlist was wonderful for several reasons:

- iOS client
- OSX/MacOS client
- Auto-sync across everything

I hope the next thing has all these features, i hear Todoist does!

Promises and now async/await go a long way to remedy the discrepancy between synchronous exceptions and asynchronous errors, by helping ensure that they both end up as promise rejections (as long as promises/async functions are your de facto async abstraction) while also being handleable with try/catch. The Koa framework (and in the future Express I believe) is designed around this concept, so middleware-level promise rejections can be handled in a single place, and by default simply produce an HTTP error response. It is a shame that it's going to take a while for the Node stdlib to catch up, however.

Also I thought something like PM2 (https://github.com/Unitech/pm2) or Forever (https://github.com/foreverjs/forever) was pretty much standard for production Node apps?

> A particularly terrible language is Chinese where most old people can't type the characters even though they can type Latin letters. That's because you have to deliberately invest time to sit down and learn an input method which is a non-trivial endeavor that takes weeks of effort and old people just aren't going to go back to school for that.

Is that your personal experience? Most input methods I know work by 1. knowing the Pinyin romanization of the word you want to type 2. typing it in 3. selecting the appropriate characters from a long list of candidates.

If they know the characters and Latin letters, then the only roadblock I can think of would be not knowing Pinyin. That shouldn't take weeks to learn if you already know Chinese, it's more like learning a very simple alphabet.
It is, but I think the OC was suggesting that the old code can be kept around and used for automated regression meta-testing, which is an interesting idea.

The distinction is extremely important as since the breakup of Yugoslavia Serbian nationalists have tried and practically succeeded in erasing Young Bosnia's ideology presenting them as right-wing Serbian nationalists. Even saying they were Yugoslavian nationalists probably doesn't correctly convey to people of today what they really meant and wanted—they mostly also considered themselves anarchists/libertarian communists (one of the most read authors among the group was Kropotkin, Princip was actually reading his Memoirs of a Revolutionist the night before the assassination). Čabrinović was extremely active as an anarcho-syndicalist and had prior problems with authorities for organizing workers' struggles. They saw national (under the premise that most peoples of west Balkans are really the same ethnic group divided by religion) liberation as a means to further workers' liberation (if one looks at economic conditions of Bosnia, and most of Balkans at that time it can make some sense, but that's a different topic). What complicates their case was the fact that the assassination was materially supported by the Black Hand, a secret nationalist organization in the Serbian Army. To see how words and designations can mean little in politics, later in 1920's Yugoslavia there was a prominent “Yugoslavian nationalist“ movement ORJUNA (ORYUNA, Organization of Yugoslavian Nationalists) which was an openly fascist organization—the complete opposite of what Young Bosnia was.
And just so you know, there was a great Indian physicist by the name of Satyendra Nath Bose (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satyendra_Nath_Bose) whose work was even appreciated by Einstein. Quoting directly from Wiki: "Einstein, recognising the importance of the paper, translated it into German himself and submitted it on Bose's behalf to the prestigious Zeitschrift für Physik. As a result of this recognition, Bose was able to work for two years in European X-ray and crystallography laboratories, during which he worked with Louis de Broglie, Marie Curie, and Einstein"

Quoting from here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bose%E2%80%93Einstein_statisti...

"Bose adapted this lecture into a short article called "Planck's Law and the Hypothesis of Light Quanta"[1][2] and submitted it to the Philosophical Magazine. However, the referee's report was negative, and the paper was rejected. Undaunted, he sent the manuscript to Albert Einstein requesting publication in the Zeitschrift für Physik. Einstein immediately agreed, personally translated the article from English into German (Bose had earlier translated Einstein's article on the theory of General Relativity from German to English), and saw to it that it was published. Bose's theory achieved respect when Einstein sent his own paper in support of Bose's to Zeitschrift für Physik, asking that they be published together. This was done in 1924.[3]"

The worst part was that Nobel Prize was awarded for research related to concepts of Higgs-Boson, Bose-Einstein statistics and Bose-Einstein condensate. However, Bose himself was never awarded the Nobel Prize.

Quoting from the same article: "SN Bose's work on particle statistics (c. 1922), which clarified the behaviour of photons (the particles of light in an enclosure) and opened the door to new ideas on statistics of Microsystems that obey the rules of quantum theory, was one of the top ten achievements of 20th century Indian science and could be considered in the Nobel Prize class.[33]

When Bose himself was once asked that question, he simply replied, “I have got all the recognition I deserve”— probably because in the realms of science to which he belonged, what is important is not a Nobel, but whether one’s name will live on in scientific discussions in the decades to come.[34]"

There are many such Indian scientists in the 20th century who made immense contributions to Science and Technology but were never recognized by the West. Maybe it's racism, maybe it's indifference. But I'm sure the future generations will recognize these contributions without any prejudice whatsoever.
> Countries that are reducing numbers of immigrant workers

Is this headline accurate? Are numbers of immigrant workers reducing?

The H1B visa program is always over-subscribed more than 4x so if the number of applicants decreases, there is still the same number coming in.

Every country looks to be trying to reduce low-skilled immigration which is fair enough.

Its tiring these days that every headline is made alarmist by lumping all immigrants into one big group. Illegal immigration vs legal immigration is always referred to as simply "immigration". Low skilled vs high skilled = immigrant. Temporary working visa vs. foreign-born US citizen = immigrant.
Google Reader was a fantastically useful product for me. Not "crappy" at all.
I've been reading the Economist for more than a decade and other publications as well in that time. They do an excellent job in my opinion of covering a variety of topics. Obviously reading specialized publications of each industry would give you a better idea, but a broad overview is great too.

For example, here's an article from 2011, titled "Print me a Stradivarius" [1]. If you were already familiar with 3D printing, the article might have struck you as elementary. But the vast majority of people don't work in tech, especially not in hardware tech. Such people almost certainly would not have heard of 3D printing in 2011, and learning about this would have been very valuable.

What I appreciate about the Economist is their restraint in covering current topics. A lot of their coverage is in-depth and subjects which _aren't_ topical. They aren't without flaws, but I've learnt a lot over the last decade by reading the Economist.

I love juicing but it requires substantial effort.

Juicing took me 20-30 minutes a day and so was unsustainable for my lifestyle. I probably went overboard with the ingredients and may have been exceeded vitamin intake requirements, though. Veggies and fruits had to be washed and cut. Parts had to be cleaned after each use. I use an auger-based omega juicer. I'd listen to a podcast to make the most of my time in the kitchen.

If I were to innovate in the juicing category, I'd begin with a produce washing machine + dryer. I don't know about you but where I buy my produce, it doesn't come cleaned and cut (Emeril reference).

The default maximum heap size for the JVM on systems with 4GB or more of RAM is one gigabyte. Has this been changed in your microservices' startup parameters? If not, it is no surprise that Java uses the memory that you have allocated to it before garbage collecting.

Spring Boot microservices that don't do much shouldn't need more than 32MB heap -- see https://spring.io/blog/2015/12/10/spring-boot-memory-perform... for details.

Why can't you apply the same logic in reverse then? We're not able to speed up and compress what takes the 100 Watt machine as much as 21 years to fully develop, into something cars use locally yet, so we sidestep the problem with Lidar.

Honestly both seem a little silly though, would an early, poorly trained version of Alpha GO confirm the need for lidar because it doesn't beat top humans?
If you want to quickly add new tasks to your todo.txt from the command line, I strongly recommend http://todotxt.com/ It is a fantastically lightweight solution and has an Android app for those times when you are not in front of a computer.

>That mechanical mirror is fairly expensive to build

Hmm, is it though? I don't have any data on that, but I wouldn't necessarily assume that a relatively simple mechanism of that sort is expensive to manufacture when cheap labour is available. I suspect that the cost of the mirror mechanism is a tiny fraction of the overall cost of making a high end DSLR.

>imposes some restrictions on lens design

For sure, but the de facto biggest lens systems are for DSLRs. Given the usability of old lenses (on Nikons at least), that's not going to change for a very long time. The restrictions on lens design have not proven to be a problem in practice.

Also, there are reasons to use retrofocus designs other than the presence of the mirror. Ultrawides with non-retrofocus designs have serious vignetting issues. I have a 75mm Schneider Super-Angulon that I use with an old 4x5, for example, and the corners can be around 1.5 stop darker than the center. The problem is bad enough that they make dedicated filters to compensate: https://www.schneideroptics.com/ecommerce/CatalogSubCategory...

Also an interesting quote from https://www.bhphotovideo.com/explora/photography/hands-revie...

>If there’s a downside to non-retrofocus lenses, it would have to be vignetting, which depending on the lens, can be 1 to 2 stops of light falloff toward the corners of the frame. When coupled to digital cameras, these issues can become exaggerated because, ideally, light shouldn’t strike the sensor at angles greater than 90° [sic], which is the case when it comes to non-retrofocus lenses.

So you might find that mirrorless cameras end up with similar wide angle lens designs to DSLRs.
I've got a Toshiba KIRA V63, which is basically exactly what you want except with an i5 processor. If I put the screen backlight to 11% (which is readable for me when I'm in the library or whatever) and run powertop, I can get 9 or so hours of real work done on the battery (Ruby on rails for the most part, Chromium and Emacs, judicious use of wifi).

I highly recommend the recent mobile i5 processors. They are ridiculously low power and amazingly fast. I really do not want for anything.

Now you almost certainly can't buy a V63 where you live (only Japan and even then I've heard Toshiba are getting out of the business), but this is the spec I recommend. The 1080p screen is the most important thing for battery life and performance. Don't get a higher resolution screen if you want to do a full day's work away from the power mains.

I absolutely love this machine to death (and take it with me everywhere -- even to the onsen).
This looks like how I used to work with BASIC back in the 80s:

My girlfriend uses the HP Spectre x360 (model 4105-no), which works great in Xubuntu 17.04. It's fast, silent and looks great. Maybe a bit higher spec than you want, but then if you want to run a web browser without noscript that's probably needed these days :-/

No hardware issues that I know of (but I had to uncomment HandleLidSwitchDocked=suspend in /etc/systemd/logind.conf to get it to suspend, and of course XFCE doesn't know what to do with tablet mode, nor do we …). The rather big trackpad might take some getting used to though :-)

Um no... I call then tabletop RPGs because that's just what they are called. It's just terminology, like the World Series is called the "World Series" and the winners are called "World Champions" despite not actually involving any team outside The US or Canada.

I'm not quite sure if I understand your second suggestion. Isn't that what the article claims to circumvent? I read that as 'Firefox/Chrome already do not render these characters, unless they're all from the same subset' - and the 'apple.com' is presented as completely cyrillic (I don't know/understand that alphabet and might've missed either your point or misread the article).
How about an icon next to the URL bar that displays and allows a user to select their preferred Unicode block(s)? If a character in the URL falls outside that block then the URL is highlighted in red or some warning is displayed.
What a blast from the past. I remember TeleGrafix fondly; if I'm being honest, I didn't really use RIPterm all that terribly often; I've always felt more at home in text. But I did run a BBS (1:233/24) and I enjoyed hacking on it more, I think, than actually running it. So I spent a lot of time trying to shoehorn RIPscrip into Maximus, more for the novelty than for any actual demand on the part of my callers.

After googling, I just realized that Maximus 3.0 eventually included RIPscrip support built-in, but I had lost interest in my BBS and moved on to hacking on Unix systems by then.

But I remember RIPscrip being a nice format. Thanks for providing me with many an afternoon spent tinkering with it.

Fwiw I have been writing production Haskell for years, am comfortable with Category Theory etc, and most of my code is still in "records and pure functions (that act on records)" style.

You don't have to use the most esoteric constructs the language offers, or get into the weeds of how lenses work (just a random example of a seemingly 'esoteric' library) or language extensions to write code that does something useful.

That said, a project centred Haskell book would be nice to have.
I totally agree with this statement, but here we're talking about 0.5 year of planning !

Planning is important, and cautiously thinking about your features before diving in can save you weeks later on. But spending 6 month in a tunnel, writing specs you'll spend at least a year to implement, is a huge risk : what if your users only use 30% of the features you designed, and lack a missing feature you didn't plan ? You could have figured it out way sooner have you built something earlier and released it.

Also, your time to market is way slower and you don't risk losing years of work by missing a deadline …

> Damn, now I need to move faster. My app must be ready by the time they close Wunderlist. I expected an eventual closure, but not that soon.
Not using AWS CI, using Circle.

Not using their code hosting, use GitHub for code + Wiki.

My question is CodeStar only worth using when you need to deploy a basic "template" app out the door? What happens when our requirements mean changing web server config, firewall rules and all the actual things that happen that are customizations? If you start on CodeStar are you "stuck" with it or can you easily get off it but keep the underlying services? I know its just EC2 horsepower under the hood. The last thing I need is a service that isn't customizable, if that's the case maybe I'd be better sticking with straight Elastic Beanstalk?
These hierarchy of nodes looks to me like a CNN, that is trained on noised image data to try to seperate noise from signal.
In what way are the nodes different from neurons?

It would be beneficial to highlight the differences to NN as I fail to recognize them.

Using neuralnet software infrastructure like tensorflow and the like, the parallelization of that task should be trivial. E.g. you could throw some money at a few AWS instances and see where it takes you.
Err, that's... simply not right. The difference isn't that dramatic.
