> My answer to this question was that we need lecture notes stored in plain text files (like rmarkdown files) and data stored in csv files with direct links.

When I think of lecture notes I think of two uses:

1. An informal reference/mnemonic for the lecturer. This use suggests a format that suits the particular lecturer (which may not necessarily be text, or even a digital format).

2. Potential answers to exam questions for situations where there are too few instructors (i.e., lecturer plus TAs) chasing too many students over too short a time for students to practice critical thinking.

Are there other uses? If not, I can imagine standardizing notes across schools could be a detriment by streamlining "plugging-and-chugging".
*entirely different
It is a little bit of both really but along a spectrum. If a person is really really good you don't care much about their resume. If they don't have relevant experience but spent some time on their resume it helps show interest. If you are fresh out of college, the second approach is probably all you have.
We've had entire threads here discussing MM's overpay. Consider the subject exhausted.
I don't get why people keep making this argument; they never strayed outside of their core computer business, they just committed genocide against buttons and added a big battery. They made a massive design innovation, not a huge technological shift.

I have to respectfully disagree with microcolonel in the context of trying to educate more politically progressive people about firearms.

I cannot recommend the NRA as many people (former members, including myself) feel they have gone from being an advocate for the 2nd Amendment in the United States to being a mouthpiece for the Republican Party and it tends to come up with their instructors, classes, and other students and would probably put most progressives off.

I would do research to see if your state offers any sort of Hunter Education programs instead as they tend to focus less on the politics (IMO) are more comprehensive multi-week classes. Plus some of these classes are available for no charge or help the state with preserving vs having to pay for the NRA courses.

If the author reads here and is accepting feedback: please let go of these ancient and inefficient tropes called Resume and Cover Letter.

They're quaint, meaningless and "work" because of old people's habits and for no other reason. They have no real useful purpose.

"I am really enthusiastic about not ending up living in the streets" can be a good cover letter too, you see.

EDIT: The classic letters are a one-way tool. That's not okay. A 20-minute chat serves the same purpose and gives more info to both sides.
The 64K of RAM, amounting to the full address space of the 6510 CPU, were partially shadowed by other things (the Kernal ROM, the character map, the BASIC interpreter ROM, etc). Memory writes always went to RAM. By just setting memory location 1 appropriately (POKE 1 in BASIC) you could decide where the reads came from. Since there was a single thread/process (i.e. yours) you could do this as will.
Ask HN: Can we upgrade vanilla Markdown?
So markdown is loosely defined somewhere on the web and it seems like the syntax is set. However, couldn't we start versioning it and incorporate the new features that these alternate flavors provide?

It's a valid question but looking at his posting history doesn't convince me that there's a way to word things which would result in a more productive response. Note that I lead with the observation that there wasn't anything to his post other than the attack — I don't think there's too much more to say about that before hitting diminishing returns.
What I am really looking forward to is to hear how Marissa Mayer will frame her time at Yahoo in hindsight.

Will she show humility for failing at turning the company around? Will she claim success for a coincidental share price increase she had nothing to do with? Will she claim nobody could have done better? This will allow for a better judgment of character.
Ok, I was going through your website. i found few issues.
1. the progress bar and the percentage do not match up.
2. I think you are storing the search results in sessions. Try to clear out the sessions every time. when i did a search on a term it shows me the result when I did a new research or refresh the page, the results are not being updated with new search
3. Upper case on the nav bar tabs labels which looked weird to me.
4. Applications remaining and upgrade plan gives me the same page. I would expect application remaning 10 should be a label not anchor tag
5. when I click on my profile and try to open current resume. I would expect resume to get downloaded. But it takes me to a blank page

What Is a Cap Table, Why Do You Need One and What Should It Look Like
In the days when Mayer was at Google, Silicon Valley was one of the few places in America with a relatively meritocratic labor market and its firms (including Google at the time) had risen to prominence by upsetting incumbent industries and not through corporate welfare and cronyism.

A lot has changed. Schmidt weaponized Google's offering and helped sell to DC, turning Google into the Halliburton of information.

I think the typical notion of capitalism is too broad (and encompasses the gamut of disruptive businesses, traditional "crony" capitalism, rent-seeking, and borderline fraud). The WSJ caters mainly to establishment ("crony" and rent-seeking) capitalist readers. HN includes more classically liberal views.

Also, I think few people realize that Mayer's comp package was an exercise in leverage and risk reduction for both parties. Taking the helm of a project that has failed under a handful of seasoned practitioners is certainly not something most people would feel comfortable doing in their own line of work.

Usually in math we assume the axiom of choice :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axiom_of_choice I'm assuming this could somehow lead to such a "random" pick in the technical sense.

In terms of implementation, I'm not aware of an algorithm that can randomly pick a real number on an actual computer. Perhaps a mathematician could show how to pick one on some abstract machine with infinite resources, and not constrained by finite bit representations of numbers.
True - and it's not by accident - a market exists only because exploiters do. The very purpose and mechanism of markets is to limit the degree (not prevalence) of exploitation by forcing exploiters to compete with each other. That's what markets are, that's the whole idea.

Where you want to make exploitation illegal (say drugs, prostitution) you don't want a market - but you lose it's benefits, too. For example by reducing competition and increasing the price of entry, thus greatly enriching the most successful criminal gangs. (Especially true re drugs.)
The point I'm trying to make is that every system has risks and externalities, but for some reason they only get added up when we're talking about nuclear.

Org format is great, but the designs of many of its more advanced features rely heavily on the Emacs editor's ability to collapse metadata. Once you've built a file that uses drawers, tags, some spreadsheets, and several levels of nesting, the resulting file can be too cluttered with metadata to be easily understandable in other plaintext editors.
>"I find it interesting that the comments section of the WSJ (a pretty capitalist-friendly corner of the internet) is filled with complaints about Mayer's "overpay" as CEO and outrage over her "golden parachute," while HN (a much less capitalist-friendly corner of the internet) has gone through 40 comments and I've only seen a couple questioning her pay as CEO, and several comments praising her job in the role."

A CEO's compensation is used to retain and motivate that talent to create value for the company. If investors feel dissatisfied with how much they paid for the level of value creation they received on a particular asset that is very much a capitalist sentiment. There is nothing even remotely anti-capitalist about that.

Those hundreds of millions of dollars in CEO pay have to come from somewhere and that somewhere is increasingly company stock. Company stock is an asset that belongs to the company and that company is owned by shareholders. Money spent on "rock star CEOs" is money that could have otherwise been used to deliver more value to shareholders, an example would be returning money to shareholders in the form of dividends.
People spend far too much time ruminating about what makes an especially productive programmer. Essentially it comes down to making good choices most of the time, so basically IQ.

Bad developers are bad because they do stupid things. Hallmarks are wheel reinvention, misuse or abuse of patterns, excessive abstraction or complexity, ignorance of security ramifications. You could go on forever but really it just boils down to someone making bad decisions from inadequate knowledge and lack of foresight.

Code written by good developers can be understood and read easily and often appears simple. The extreme complexity that many companies are proud of is just a sign that their developers lack the foresight to build an elegant system.

I'm not sure that I've ever seen a CEO get extensively criticized on HN for their pay. I feel like this needs at least a single anecdotal comparison from both the WSJ and HN for the question to get any sort of real answers.

This is a great result for Tesla and shows the benefits of an electric SUV. Though it would be interesting to see results from Euro NCAP and IIHS as well, as the Model X has yet to be tested by either.
You'd be surprised. ~10% of the US population has "drinking problems" in any given 12 month long period. Finding stats for alcoholism is surprisingly tough, I think because defining it is so difficult, but about 30 million Americans seem to have 'issues' with the booze. Meaning that you can expect to discover ~1/10 of your team members has an 'issue' with using the bar as a meeting place, whether they admit it or not.

The future of <X> is the solution that best meets the job.

For exchange and processing data (data != information), UTF-8 text with contextual formatting like Markdown, CSV, etc is nice as it is generally tool agnostic.

But for conveying information (information != data), plaintext sucks. That's why Markdown is a copout -- the formatting still matters... and humans don't perceive markup coding as well as the rendered result. Humans do better with visual queues when interpreting written data. Formatting, typesets, bullets, tables, graphs, etc all help use process and contextualize data.

If being able to reference information or data over time, where time > 10 years, you need to think about what you're doing. (Archivists do this professionally.) PDF is the quick path to address this for format-sensitive applications, as big & important institutions like the US Courts use PDF for their documents -- it isn't going anywhere. Big datasets are more complex to deal with... you have to decide whether the raw data should be preserved vs. the processed/analyzed data, etc.
Not at all. Anyway some features are "secret sauce" "it looks good but the implementation is a mess", so the poster may politely decline to answer.
I just went through this. I was due an upgrade from AT&T. I had a dead iPhone 6 that I had to replace. Here were my options:

* $18-22 a month for two years to buy an iPhone from AT&T. No money down, no voice/data contract. The phone is locked to AT&T until you're done paying for it. Total cost works out to around $525.

* Slightly more, like $25-30, for two years to buy an iPhone from Apple. Differences: it's unlocked, you get Apple Care, and as stated above you can return the phone after one year to get a new one (and reset the two year clock). Cost works out to around $600.

* Buy refurbished from the Apple Refurb online store. Cost is about $450 the last time I checked.

* Buy refurbished from a 3rd party seller on Amazon. I did this. The seller got a ton of great reviews. The phone was complete crap: battery was shot, would not hold a charge, slight screen discoloration, very noticeable screen artifacts when hitting "Home." It was just unusable. The cost was about $339. I returned it.

* Bought a new Moto G5 Plus unlocked from Amazon for $229.

I'm hoping for a new iPhone 8 to be introduced in September, and will probably upgrade from my current iPhone 6 (the one I replaced was for somebody else) to that.

what about Euroncap ratings? It looks like the NHTSA only does occupant safety while the european system does pedestrian and safety for other cars.
I strongly agree with your second point. Especially for Amazon, Blizzard, and other companies that subscribe to multi-page registrant forms. I'll often come across a job posting, or a mention from a recruiter that just points me to the standard application portal. If I'm thinking "Hey this looks right up my alley, maybe I'll send them my resume. Long shot at best though" please don't make me do this. Running into these arduous forms turns a long-shot application on a whim into a long-shot 40 min enthusiasm crushing affair.
> "... given the 16 GB limit." Can you explain that?

They are referring to the fact that Apple portables ship with soldered memory and max out at 16GB while PC manufacturers are shipping systems which support 32 and even 64GB in laptop/mobile workstation form factor.

So they are referring to the physical memory (RAM) limit of Apple devices, not any logical limitations of the OS.
Is the Guardian Backdoored? A Timeline
So basically they took a simpler version of software used in hundreds of medical imaging labs around the world and put it in an app?

I've worked in labs that do this exact same thing. It's cool that they're putting this in a consumer-facing format but the technology (re: accuracy in ML models) still isn't there yet, and there are a lot more performant and sophisticated models than the relatively simple network architectures the authors describe. At risk of being overly critical of the author, to me this just seems like a first, rather naive implementation of ML to be shown as a proof of being able to do ML related things, with the actual performance or usefulness of the model being secondary to that.

In short, putting this into practice at a consumer level: good. Actual modelling: maybe not so good.

For me a large part of the reason I use Vim and only Vim for writing code is it just makes the experience so much more enjoyable. I realise this is quite subjective, but my personal experience is that whenever I use a colleague's non-modal editor I find the experience frustrating even though I know how to use it. Years of using Vim has sensitised me to the constant annoyances that accompany using a conventional editor.

Has Vim sped up the rate at which I can edit text? Probably, but for me this is missing the point.

I'm not a physiotherapist but being able to rest my forearms/wrists on the table 99% of the time when using Vim significantly reduces the risk of RSI.
Wow I didn't think I would be down voted so much.. Is it because I spoke of Steve Jobs?

You can look all the problems a bad CEO can do : Kenneth Lay with Enron, Theranos, Twitter, Caterpillar 2 years ago even thought he said he didn't know. But it was his job to know... And now Travis Kalanick with the culture he created at Uber and now the damages it makes.

And you can look at all the value a great CEO can do too.
Thank you for laying it out so well. I am a female executive and I am so sick of everyone saying that she's only getting criticized because she's female. So what, we can't get criticized if we do a horrible job? If we treat our employees unfairly? If we don't do what's best for our companies? She was a bad CEO and she deserved to be fired long ago.
No really. Go to /r/natureismetal and witness it for yourself.

It is more common for the applicant to apply for the job so the job post has to be generic. Now if the company is recruiting someone unique they will approach them and tailor the opportunity to that person.

Also I don't think one has to spend a few hours to customize the resume. Make one for each industry you are considering and spend 5-10 minutes tweaking it for the employers you really care about.
Do be warned that there are jurisdictions that do not look favorably on self-defense shootings, and often page 1 in their playbook is to play up any modifications to the gun involved. The argument is that if you're interested in enhancing the performance of the gun, you must just be walking around itching to pop off a few rounds. Personally I'd feel like I'm in a weak position if a DA started telling a jury all about my high-tech "holographic reflex sight".

So by all means mount a red dot sight for your 3-gun competition. Personally, after speaking to a few folks in the know in such places, my concealed carry / home defense gun is very conservative. I opted for the most popular handgun used by police with a very mainstream laser / flashlight combo instead. Hard to make me look like an extremist / survivalist gun nut if I ever had to use it. Something to think about, depending on where you live.
Ah, that makes sense, I stopped playing just before HoTS came out.

I think, however, if there are still micro mechanics (e.g. marine split vs banelings), then you will only be able to use the mouse to do that action - I have never heard of a professional player that uses the keyboard for microing units exclusively, but I do admit not having played in a while.

My larger point was that it's going to be hard to make proper comparisons because the result of the action has to be 100% equivalent. Otherwise, the comparison is pointless.

Is it carriage return then linefeed? or just linefeed? or maybe just carriage return? or maybe linefeed then carriage return? or maybe a different character or sequence of characters to denote a newline?

I sent someone an important text (7-bit ASCII) file once. Much later, I found that they had tried to read it using NotePad. They had spent an inordinate amount of time trying to format it into something they could read. Had they opened it in WordPad, Word, a web browser, or practically anything else it would not have been a problem, but by default text files are opened with NotePad.

Please don't get me started on tabs vs spaces.
ClojureCUDA – GPU Computing in Clojure
there was a whole movement exploring distributed shared memory in the early 90s, using VM hardware to trigger distributed swap with coherency protocols on top. in fact there was a parallel version of OSF/1

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_shared_memory

which isn't to say that low latency and high bandwidth doesn't make this a lot more feasible. fault tolerance is pretty hard though :)
I imagine it would be easy enough to - at a discount - sell all the bitcoins to a (single) other party and have them sell the coins over time. Don't know if many entities would want to take such a position, but there are probably at least some.

If mtgox were still operational, they would probably take a loan (in yen) with the btc as collateral, if they needed the amount of money on a short notice (and provided they really owned the bitcoin by that exchange).
> And if you want to get technical, the US Constitution is the oldest, surviving charter of government in existence.

No, even if that was relevant, if you want to get technical that of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is older, whether you date from writing or adoption.

> I resent the fact that Europeans have the gall to suggest that we're the immature ones when it comes to government.

We are, and those of us who are quick to resent it being pointed out do nothing to diminish the truth of that. We're old enough that the (second, actually) system set up when we founded the country is dated, and young enough that we still imagine that our founders' innovations are somehow the end of history so we don't even consider dealing with it. The latter is immaturity and arrogance.
SuSE was the first Linux distro I used, so it will always have a special place in my heart.

Last year, I kind of went on a buying spree and got myself two new laptops (in my defense, I'll point out I got an awesome bargain). I tried to install Debian on them, but the installer froze on both machines.

That's when I gave Tumbleweed a try, and I was pleasantly surprised. The major drawback is that a rolling release distro requires far more frequent reboots than, say, Debian or CentOS. At least once a week a package gets updated that is so central to the system (kernel, libc, systemd, ...) that a reboot is practically required. Besides that, I have been very happy with it for the past ~12 months.
