10x productivity is fairly common when onboarding people to a project, though it's not quite so obvious because you'll give the new person small bugs or stories. And if someone is simply not productive, there might continue to be a 10x between team members, and the team keeps giving the unproductive person small or non-essential tasks, and not accounting for the support that member receives to finish that work.

I've been on both sides of the 10x divide (i.e., the 1x working with a 10x, the 10x working with a 1x). To be clear, these productivity levels were relative to the project, understanding of the project, and the point in the project's lifecycle. There's native talent, but context is just as important.

It's not really sustainable to have that productivity difference unless you have a team structure to support it and bring people up – and sometimes I wonder if the team structure is more emotional cover than an actual aggregate productivity boost. It's not sustainable because the 1x developer can't handle the 10x developer's velocity of change. If you are the 1x developer, just at the point when you think you've finally made a valuable improvement, the rug gets pulled out from underneath you yet again because of a change or fix made by someone else. It's demoralizing for everyone, and the 1x developer often becomes the 0x developer (I'm afraid this has also happened to me).

It's harder to find unsustainable states because they don't last for long (team breaks up, everyone becomes demoralized, people drift off, etc), which is part of why I think 10x productivity is sometimes treated as a myth.

The Chromebook 'powerwash' seems to fulfill this requirement nicely[1] - you can even let students drop the machine into Developer mode, play with Crouton[2] and so on, and if (when) things go wrong, poof, a single chord at startup and you're back.

Personally I feel a mix of eagerness and skepticism. Just to rule out the bait-and-switch, this is $500k to write code? Not to travel half the time and bring in more sales? They say they want "React/Redux specialists, Unity developers, data scientists, and data engineers (proficient with TensorFlow), technical project managers (who used to do the above, but have evolved into managers), and technical account executives." The hero image is just some React.

If this is for real, I'm willing to apply. I've built web-based software for clients for 17 years. I can handle the tech, but also lead a team, manage a project, design products and features, learn a customer's problems and advise them, and offer creative solutions that bring massive value and savings. I'm a great fit for a consulting company. I do pretty well right now working for myself, but $500k would still be a big bump up. So I'm looking for the call-to-action, and it is . . . "Subscribe to the newsletter." Really? Who is this article for anyway? It is just one executive commiserating to others? It definitely doesn't seem to show ShellyPalmer in their best light: I don't see any solutions, just complaining and excuses. They are advertising their inability to hire the best people?

Offer me $500k to solve technical problems (and not leave Oregon), and I'll apply. But I can't even find a Careers page. I guess they feel I should have to work for it. That's fine, I'll tweet at you if you want, but in that case I'd like to see some proof first that this offer is for real.
Flarum is not ready for production yet, and using NodeJS is far from the cheap stack of LAMP.

Also, id like to hear what's the reasoning behind using MongoDB for a forum. I mean, I'm just learning this stuff but a forum seems to be a perfect case for a relational DB.
Looks like that shortlink doesn't even go to an SRE job title, let alone a valid page:

The page you are looking for, http://solarwinds.jobs/san-francisco-ca/senior-developer/8D5DBA4312AD442E8935E95C63B46BF4/job/, does not exist.

If you found this page from a job link, then that job is expired.
It doesn't work when the law enforcement just uses parallel construction to get untainted evidence. Illegal wiretap to get information on where to look for evidence.

Lisp is not a functional programming language.
There is a ton of clickbait potential in Ryzen anything right now, and quite a few people are cashing in like crazy.

AMD has a very dedicated fanbase, but because they've been on the defensive for years they've built up a "siege mentality". Now that they're finally competitive again they're just going nuts.

Reviewers who put out Ryzen reviews that were perceived as less than ideal were getting death threats, and obviously the positive attention from people who were praising Ryzen as the second coming was just as intense.
Clojure has a BDFL (Rich Hickey) and it lacks reader macros. It's kind of the exception that proves the rule.
The tricky thing here isn't first-class functions, but closures. For the example to work, the inner function construction has to implicitly capture the argument to the outer function.

Yes, exactly. Also, tables could be refactored without having to update clients.
That's odd. I don't recall saying more than 1 table is complex. For me, it's just a good time to think more about what kind of database to use, esp for pet projects.

You could argue that kind of outcry is less about legitimate belief, and more about political skepticism and/or suppression of demographically inconvenient truths.
When was the last time you saw a web page or application that was actually designed with 16:9 in mind? It's a wonderful format if you have a huge screen/high resolution where you're able to fit multiple applications or windows side by side. For small screen you just get a lot of scrolling.
I've never really had a problem with video players not working; I have had about a thousand problems with them automatically playing content, sometimes from a tab I can't identify.
That's much more complicated than just mocking your context in unit tests....

Go down to "Testing Query Scenerios". I've wrapped the four "mockset.As" lines into one extension method to make it a lot less verbose.
Right, Haskell's function application syntax is more "minimal" that Lisp's, at least in the simple case.

But golergka said that Lisp's syntax is the clearest, not the smallest. And while that's probably something that depends on one's knowledge and past experience, I think there's something to it. The parens mean that it's unambiguous, and there is very little work on the reader's part to figure out where an expression begins and ends.

There's no operator precedence to keep in mind, no special whitespace rules, etc. It's about as minimal as you can get while still being completely explicit about syntactic constructs.

The ARPANET. And even after ARPA became DARPA, it was still the ARPANET (or the net), except as a lame joke when the name changed.

And for the rest of the world: it's "the Internet (though it uses internet protocols). Like the Universe there is by definition one (though you can have little local internets).

Oh, and about my lawn: stay off!
What size of case will fit that board?
Well also, they seem to have a weird idea of what "modernizing" a web app means. While it's true that traditional web forums have plenty of usability issues, I don't really think Discourse actually solves them. It just hides them with fancier ones IMO.
Turning on the stove or crossing the street can result in death. Should we perform those activities "with the expectation that someone may die"?

You're right that it's often a legal requirement to contact the police after a crash. But if "someone may die" then that seems like a good reason to break the law.
It was 1983, and the author cut his teeth in Z80 assembly language and stuff like that.

The fact that we have "any language where functions are first class citizens" owes a lot to Lisp research.
ORM is in the client. I'm talking about making wrapping functions for popular views in the database itself.

Who Defines Expertise?
My problem with the concept of a "10x" programmer is that its baseline is not well-defined. Who's the 1x programmer? Figure that out and then we can have a fun discussion about the existence of 10x (and maybe -10x) programmers.
Sounds a lot older than fifty. A fifty-year old would have been thirteen in 1980. Maybe they're sixty?

Median household income in 1980 was $16,671 [0] so someone making $40,000 was a high earner. In 2014 it was $53,013.

Why Chinatown Produce Is Cheap (2016)
Looking at the job req, it mentions the expectation is for 5 minute response times when you're on call (from alert to being online) and that you're on call one week a month.

Is the compensation provided in line with essentially working 24 hours a day for a week once per month?

https://basecamp.workable.com/j/A5A189B311

"We have a shared on call responsibility which is about 1 week (5 week days, and 2 weekend days) a month. (The responsibility means you'll be online within 5 minutes of receiving an alert.) We constantly work on making the on call responsibility as calm as we can. We try to finish what we start vs leaving it for someone else to clean up. When there is a code red event (like a site outage), we all pitch in to help until we are sailing on calmer seas again."
6: Lisp is ancient. It really is.

Also on the front page of HN today: SQL is 43 years old.

So, exactly what is the problem with being ancient? Nobody objects to SQL on those grounds. So I suspect that 6 is really "I want to object, and I found a plausible-sounding reason to do so". (It could be people who actually evaluate stuff based on how new it is. But I'd prefer to think that there aren't people who really evaluate languages that way...)
I upvoted you because those are true... But yes, except for getting incompatible parts and thermal problems, it's hard to manage to fall into any of those other errors.

Specifically about static electricity, almost always it's enough to just make sure you touch the metal body of the processor before its pins (what's inevitable if you are taking it from the original box). Despite the warnings, most parts are not very sensitive to static at all, make sure you discharge any extra charge by touching the floor and you are good to go.
That is kind of BS. Let's contrast what Pai says:

>Net neutrality, if it means a free and open internet, is something that everybody agrees upon,

Meanwhile, in the Ars article, we have a sponsoring Senator who hates Obamacare saying:

>In the announcement, Cruz repeated his charge that net neutrality is "Obamacare for the Internet."

So not sure what you're trying to do other than misinform us.
This is also not how it works:
"Almost no one has a blue deficiency. Accordingly, nearly everyone can see blue, or, more accurately, almost everyone can distinguish blue as a color different from others."

People with "red-green colorblindness" usually have difficulty telling purple from blue.

> What's missing is the ability to close over values, which is a key part of first-class functions.

This is not true. You can have first-class function which are not closures: every dynamically-scoped Lisp works that way, see Emacs Lisp without `lexical-binding: t` and the `lexical-let` implementation.
Cloudera | Engineering (& More) | Full-Time | Onsite | Globally

Cloudera was founded in 2008 to help businesses capture, store and analyze that data. We built a software platform that can handle the huge amounts of data now available. We developed a powerful collection of processing and analytic capabilities. Our customers are able to ask very deep questions of their data, and get their answers quickly.

From the beginning, we recognized that data could drive social, as well as commercial, value. For example:

* Producing and distributing clean energy is easier and cheaper if we can instrument wind farms, solar collectors and transmission networks, and continuously optimize them.
* There are seven billion people in the world today, but the population will grow to nine billion by the year 2050. We must feed two billion more people but won’t find much new arable farmland. If we can analyze data on soil chemistry, model weather accurately and select the varieties of seeds best suited to produce in those conditions, we can increase crop yields.
* Genetic analysis, both of patients and of the diseases that afflict them, provides a rich toolbox for interfering with disease onset and progression, and offers the hope of designing new drugs that can cure many varieties of cancer in our lifetimes.

Cloudera was also started "because we believe that data makes things that are impossible today, possible tomorrow. There’s more data coming, and there are plenty of impossible things to work on. Our journey is only well begun." ~Mike Olson, Cloudera CSO

Where can i learn more about this type modern SQL tools you mention? (Besides what you've just mentioned of course :D)
Study reveals first recording of cuttlefish fighting over a mate in the wild
Whoa I was way overcomplicating this. This is all you need, semantics AND ergonomics included:

CREATE TABLE P (
name VARCHAR(100),
count INT NULL,
count_empty AS CASE WHEN count IS NULL THEN 1 ELSE 0 END,
count_key AS ISNULL(count,0),
PRIMARY KEY (name, count_empty, count_key)
);

No trigger or updating two fields needed at all. Just update "count". If you insert NULL twice it will yell at you.
I've been writing SQL for almost 20 years, so the pain for me is the grunt mapping of data to and from. jOOQ does much of the grunt work of mapping, and lets me write typed SQL that it smartly translates to queries. More advanced features like various types of fetch make my job even easier.

That would mean a user who manually blacklisted 10 domains took on the added risk of letting 10 ads through that were potential malware vectors.

Another problem is that the ads the user deemed to be acceptable visually don't necessarily carry a correspondingly lower risk of malware.

Yet another problem is that the user likely thinks that by allowing ads for domain X they are allowing X to serve them ads. When in reality, they are allowing X to add a third-party service Y that sells access to Z, and that neither X nor Y currently have a way to guarantee that bad things won't happen from letting Z (or even who Z is, or that Z was a possible participant when X signed up for the service).
No worries. I took a look at your github, etc and you didn't look like either Navathe or Elmasri's kid :) Congrats on setting an example for others!
Sure, using hypothesis tests could pick out some of the structured examples in the Datasaurus, but in practice, things are often more subtle. Goodness of Fit tests to check for normality, in particular, are a little bit thorny, lacking power in small sample sizes, and rejecting normality for slight departures in higher sample sizes. My experience has been with assumption checking that by the time a hypothesis test has sufficient evidence to reject an assumption, you'd usually be able to see it visually.

Until you get into high dimensions, it probably doesn't hurt too much to visualize the data. Additionally, it can be helpful to understand what signal has been left in the residuals (ex: you fit a linear model, but failed to include a quadratic term), which is something hypothesis tests aren't as good at telling you.
I've read through most of it, and I think you're safe calling it a web-based IDE. Obviously "IDE" means more than it would have 15 years ago, but that's still what it is.
There are very few disputes about authenticity of records. And communication between lawyers is often done on a "without prejudice" basis where it won't be introduced later as evidence. And despite the love of paper, lawyers do most of their communications through email. The printed paper record is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to law.
That makes Johnny Mnemonic sound a little less crazy.
Sven Yrvind – Sailing around the world in boats smaller than your car
This is funny to read, I've recently started giving up on ORM's, but I felt really guilty about it. Like I have to really justify myself. Like you, I use it in a hybrid manner, simple queries I still use it... but for complex selects, I have yet to meet an ORM that can dish it out as good as I can.
It's fine for skyscrapers. The Empire State Bldg isn't going anywhere. It's dumb for thin flexible skyscrapers that will accumulate microfractures in a relatively short time span and whose steel structure is insufficient to support the building in the face of significant concrete degradation.
Can you expand on that? I'm not familiar enough with how boards operate to understand what you mean.
iC Consult | Germany (Munich, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Essen...) | Onsite, Remote | Full-Time

We are a still rapidly growing security consultancy (about 200 persons in total), specialising in identity and access management solutions and integrations. If you've got some security background, know your way around a linux box, have some coding/architecture experience, and are not too shy to go meet a client from time to time, we would like to get acquainted.

We are looking for candidates at all levels of experience!

Fluent German is really important for us. Readiness to travel is optional (and I mean it - you don't have to if you don't want to). If you've got experience with anything IAM related (be it open source or proprietary) including but not limited to OAuth, SCIM, OIDC, even just plain LDAP, that's an advantage for you.
If interested, drop an email to Georgi (that's me) with a reference to HN. My email is kehaiov at ic-consult dot com.
you can combine different network adapters/storage options and instance types and also create your own virtual network, with various other options.
while these VPS providers only allow a specific amount of storage for a specific type of instance and also have a included traffic option while ec2 does not have that.
I mean more and more VPS providers have an API, but they still don't have the customizability and services like a cloud has, yet they are preferable in many use cases.
A Clue to Where Cancer Metastases Are Born
It is bewildering how different these Senators' concepts of reality must be from mine to consider this a good idea. I wouldn't even consider it debatable... There's a reason, after all, that ISPs around the world have largely shied back from such practices in the past.

Part of the problem may be that those most hurt don't even exist, yet. Depending on how blatantly ISPs would exploit their position as gatekeeper of the last mile, it could doom any startup. Oh, your two-person team wants to run a ride-sharing service? Start by negotiating access fees with every ISP, in every market...

I guess the best hope is that former startups act somewhat altruistically: Apple, Google, Facebook, or Netflix may have the clout (cloud?) to stop this. Maybe thousands of calls and emails help, but it appears that Republicans consider this their rumspringe, and are probably emboldened by polls showing the ideological divide is so deep, policy is no longer relevant for public opinion.
What's weird is Russia simultaneously has teams building CPU's so threatening that Intel will buy one in defense but the one making desktops is worse than what some academics built on RISC-V and OpenSPARC. Russia needs to pay their top people for a competitive design that can be cheaply licensed due to the subsidy. Then sponsor some SoC's. Then a desktop. Then get the process rolling.
