There may be occasions when a single letter makes sense, but this should be the exception, not the rule. If you've got a ton of "anything" variables in your code, then that means there's probably a better, more understandable design for your system which expresses what the variables represent with more precision.
It's great to have for as long as it does not indirectly tie back to your LinkedIn ;)

But when writing that scrubbing script you may as well make it save a local copy.
Agreed. And with Dragon, SpaceX actually has a ton of experience with orbital reentry.
Or, hire the best, and make a team out of them. Or hire people with high potential and push them to reach it. Or, hire people who can get the job done.

One thing for sure: if you have mind-numbing processes, "the best" will leave, and others will not reach their potential.

PlushCare |Full Stack Engineer| San Francisco| Full Time| Onsite

PlushCare is looking for motivated and talented individuals to join our engineering team. We're passionate about helping people and bridging gaps in a bloated healthcare industry that doesn't put patients first.

We’re well funded and backed by respected investors like GGV Capital (Airbnb, Square, Slack, Soundcloud) and Lightspeed Ventures (Snap, Grubhub, Nest), putting us in a unique situation to deliver much-needed features and services in the healthcare space.

Here are some of the meaningful problems we're working on solving:

- Aggregating scattered healthcare data to provide doctors with better tools for diagnosing and treating people

- Creating seamless and intuitive user interfaces for both physicians and patients

- Writing software that smoothly ties together components in a fragmented insurance industry

- Delivering on our mission to make a positive impact on people's health

We've had success hiring from hacker news in the past, so please don't hesitate to reach out to careers@plushcare.com if you're interested.
HN has audience from both sides of the pond. Smart people from both sides write insightful comments. Some people should add a disclaimer to their comments, as it's rather obvious they are related to the company mention in the news.
Not sure what I was expecting from the title, but for sure not what I read.
Maybe I'm quite old now, but working with latches and switches was always a way of thinking.
Writing awful BASIC with GOTO and subroutines was not that different.
Writing OO code is quite different at first impact but then you discover that it is basically the same way of thinking.
The real way of thinking of programmers doesn't have anything to do with the languages, it's more about finding solutions for some problem.
If you can't find solutions by yourself, banging your head, it doesn't mean that you have to find a better language for your software, doing nothing in the meantime, it means that you have to start from scratch understanding how to fix things and how to solve problems.
If you just wait for the next big thing or the next shiny solution that fixes everything for you then imho programming is not for you.

The problem isn't that the Mac Pro isn't upgradeable. That is a symptom and a potential solution, but not necessarily the best one.

The real problem here is that Apple itself hasn't been able to keep up with demands. If they were able to enhance and sell a "new model" of Mac pro every 6-12 months, the problem would go away. Nobody wants a hackintosh, barring the long tail of people who like building PC's anyway. (And that's an enthusiast market, not worth catering to.) A vast majority of pros would just buy a new machine every couple years. So the problem, then, is that there's no "new machine" for them to buy.

Positing that the solution is to offer an upgradeable tower implies that Apple can't keep up with demand. Which, let's be honest, they can't. But the better solution here is to build a Mac Pro that Apple can upgrade in the form of a new model. That enthusiasts can upgrade it as well is a moot point (or an additional benefit).

Hell, they could even have a Genius-led support model that swaps out the guts of your machine every 12-24 months. Apple-Hardware-As-A-Service?
It's much more likely (like infinitely more likely) that the 68000 name stems from the earlier 6800 8-bit product line. There's nothing definitive saying 68,000 transistors and I've read both 40,000 and 68,000. I believe that 68,000 was just marketing. FWIW, Motorola also employed 68,000 people in 1980 (approximately):

> Housing costs are directly related to the cost of land, which is much higher in dense urban areas.

Land and labor. The dense townhouse-style constructions have significant non-land cost. Anecdote from a tiny lot Seattle: 17% of our house "value" is land; the rest is all labor and materials.

> ... a paper that uses entirely unnecessary equations, and doesn't bother to define symbols. This practice wastes everyone's time.

I agree with you there, notation should be defined, otherwise it doesn't help explain anything.

However, consider that for people who are already used to the notation those "unnecessary" equations are actually more compact and precise than reading the accompanying text. What seems difficult to you may be easy for someone else, and vice versa.

> ... the key to it is to force mathematicians to name their variables.

I believe you overestimate how much of an improvement that would be. How much code have you seen that had variables like int num or String str? If num can be any arbitrary number, and str is just a generic string, there isn't necessarily a more descriptive name you can use.

Mathematics is full of these cases. Say, some general equation involves three real numbers and a real valued function of two real parameters. They are completely generic, so a mathematician might name them x, y, z and f and write the equation as f(x,y) = z.

How would you call them? All I can think of would be the first parameter, the second parameter, the result and the function, which is not much more descriptive for the added verbosity.

The problem with using descriptive names in mathematics is that most entities you are dealing with are so generic that naming them doesn't help. Of course I'm not opposed to e.g. writing NormalDistribution instead of just N, since this is actually a very specific concept. But there is just no way to completely eliminate single letter variables from mathematics without using an equally nondescriptive replacement.

How to Install the Postman Native App in Ubuntu 16.04
Depends on if you use all your feature or not. Sure, can be mostly empty is you mostly don't use what you pay for. But if you use everything you pay for, it can get pretty tight in there.

That being said, if you want a smaller case, you can get that as well. It really depends. You have flexibility, and you get what you need. This is something Apple has been missing for some time now.

From the family stories I have heard, my great-grandmother raised rhubarb, so my grandmother had it because my grandfather was used to it. I was encouraged to take a stalk whenever I wanted growing up, which, at times, was twice daily.

As for location, I grew up in Illinois, my grandmother was from Arkansas, and my grandfather and his mother, while being from Illinois, traced their family roots back to Pennsylvania Dutch.

I still prefer the raw stalk to anything else.
As a sysadmin at a Windows shop, I don't know what to make of this. Has Intel commented on this, yet? Any OEM?

Joanna Rutkowska, who is a renowned security researcher, warned of something like this happening sooner or later[1], so I don't think I can afford to just ignore this.

But without something more specific to act on, there is nothing I can do, except wait firmware updates to be released by various vendors. If that happens.

And what if Intel does make a statement that essentially says, "This is all total BS"? I wouldn't know whether to believe them or not.

The only scenario where I could have any degree of certainty would be if Intel came out and said, "Yeah there's an exploitable security hole in ME, here's a patch to disable it".

How can ethereum be leveraged in fintech?
I find this surprising. I recall watching/reading accounts (from sources that were definitely on-board with the venture) claiming that unanticipated solar flares add a lot of complication.

But even disregarding the perils of such a trip, there's so much to contend with that makes it not just a exciting hot-spot for pioneer types. The static buildup due to soil up to 50 times as fine as dust on Earth (soil full of toxic perchlorate salts too), living for the rest of your life in 38% the gravity human bodies have evolved in, zero nature or anything else we evolved in, and of course living in a bio-dome without Pauly Shore.

I wish they'd teleport us there with better, and better, VR equipment. So everyone on Earth could experience Mars first hand.

> Applies machine learning to extract data.

Not only machines are let loose on that data. Ever try to open some websites through a VPN or Tor? Often you'll be presented with Google's Recaptcha tool to verify that you are not a robot but a genuine human visitor (to prevent spam and DDOS attacks). To gain access to the website itself you are enlisted to train Google's algorithms to properly recognize objects on outdoor photographs — including but not limited to mountains, store fronts, house numbers, and cars.

A recent 'innovation' has you freehand draw the outline of traffic signs.

PayPal | San Jose, CA | Fulltime | Onsite (relocation available) | Hiring Javascript Application Engineers

PayPal is looking for JavaScript engineers who want to work both in the browser and on the server-side in Node.js. Over the past couple of years, we've worked hard to migrate our entire web application stack to Node and powerful client-side apps and we're looking to turn the dial towards product experimentation and innovation. We need your engineering ability and your desire to be a part of the whole product!

I’m a manager on the Online Checkout (that’s the “Pay with PayPal” button and experience) engineering team. We're looking for experienced JavaScript developers. My team is currently working primarily with Angular on the client and Kraken on Node. If you've got experience with React, we're actively exploring doing an inside-out migration of our application and could use your expertise. As most Node shops go, we're leveraging a whole lot of other open source tools as well and we're very supportive of open source activities for our people.

We have several openings within my team as well as within other teams--so drop me a line even if my particular opening doesn't sound interesting and I'll help you find the right place! You can contact me at swesthafer at paypal dot com.
Yeah, it is strange. A charlatan is someone who is lying and has no intent on following through on their unrealistic plans.

Musk clearly isn't a charlatan as he's trying his very best to make his unrealistic plans a reality, and has already succeeded tremendously.

Is Musk crazy? He might be. But he's earnestly crazy.
It isn't on all hardware. Intel has two ME firmwares, a small one for consumer systems, and a big one for corporate/enterprise systems. The small one does not (or at least, should not; is not supposed to) include the remote management features.

In other words, the separation that you describe exists.

Systems with the full firmware sport things such as the vPro branding, and only certain combinations of CPU and chipset support it.

I heard this rumor as well and believe it to be true. I don't think there has been much mention here of how Paulson & Co colluded with Goldman Sachs during that time to essentially rip off Goldman customers. There was a huge lawsuit about that that I believe Goldman ultimately lost. IIRC the vehicle involved was called Abacus.

I always thought Paulson was slimy. After the increased scrutiny it is no surprise to me that his returns have plummeted.

Thanks, but that's not really the point that is being communicated. We're just trying to empasize the fact that, while some track records can be used as an indication of future success, a guy who makes a bet with the same logic as others but years later than they did (then got rich merely being lucky enough to be late) should never have been thought of as someone who could generate alpha in the future off of that track record.
