I know Postgres really well because my job is mostly scaling Postgres. I got a good feeling of the tools of available by reading the Postgres manual. Then I got to learn when each tool is effective and the tradeoffs between each of them while working.

Ask HN: Efficient ways of gauging a candidate's English proficiency?
We've found a bit of a bug in our hiring process. Our latest addition is performing pretty well, but their English skills are seriously lacking. Especially in writing. This is a bit of a problem considering one of their tasks is customer support via e-mail. It's not something we screened for -- and not something easily noticeable when you don't interview candidates in English.

Are there any easy ways of quickly gauging a candidate's English skills, especially reading/writing? Something that doesn't take much time?

Internet forums exist for a reason. It is always wise to take the advice of someone more experienced than you. I don't see any wrong in it.

The people who are on top are there because of a reason. The root of hacking lies in outsmarting a coder by exploiting the mistakes in his code. Now even a field like this has become a corporate profession.

But there's something that differentiates a hacker from rest of the people.
I think learning from somebody else's mistakes is one of the smartest thing you can to do.

The active drug in vivitrol, naltrexone, can also be injected under the skin as pellets for a similar time-release effect. Vivitrol is just a company making a new administration method (such as the ephedrine/epipen swindle) to cash in on a generic drug.

Naltrexone is a much better treatment than maintenance opiates, but still does not address the fundamental factors behind addiction.

Hey! First of all, congrats for making it this far!

I had a startup, but we never were able to secure funding before we folded. We got approached by a company that was both interested in our product and also wanted to invest. When this happened, we've already been doing the startup for 2.5 years, and I was already pretty tired, burnt out, often thinking about opportunity costs, esp. when having beer with "normal" friends. I had a pretty bad feeling about going into this negotiation for a number of reasons, mostly because I was already pretty tired, and at this point we learned a lot about the downsides of the business we were in (enterprise software sales).

But despite this feeling, we agreed with my cofounder that we'd go for it, after all, this is what we had worked towards! It wasn't a bad decision---it was a gamble, and we took it. But for me it would have been better if we didn't take it. The negotiations went on for a year, it was very painful, I became pretty depressed, couldn't sleep, one time for a straight week (!). In the end the other party pulled out of the deal for totally unrelated external reasons, outside of our control, and we folded the company. But also my then-wife left me and I got divorced. I payed a big price for the gamble I took in that last year.

I'm still happy that I did that startup (2009-2012), and I plan to do one again, this time much wiser. But today I would not take that last gamble, I'd call it quits there. If it doesn't work, if it doesn't feel right, then stop.

One good thought experiment is this: imagine you continue on. Then you probably have to hire people at some point. Imagine hiring +3 people. Two have families, kids: they will quit their current job to come to work for you, on your project, at your company. Does it feel right? Imagine them showing up on the first day, and you're their leader, you have to motivate them, etc. Does it feel right?

Dude , your hopeful at best.
Again, agreed for the most part. I just think you're underestimating the power of (board or otherwise) games, how they capture and reflect patterns of reality that are not immediately apparent or not directly useful (or even verbalizable).

There's this deep connection between curiosity, idle fun and problem solving.

The idea of driving people to "sustained and detailed scientific studies" to tackle "existential threats"... that is just not how the world works. Innovation doesn't happen by committee. It happens by making weird connections in unexpected places.

To be honest, I don't think you're giving enough credit to the evolutionary process that gave us our propensity to admire "games and stories". Dismissing it as "just navel-gazing", or just philosophy, in favour of rigorous science, sounds extremely perilous -- as if killing something fundamental to humanity.

Java 9 delayed to September 21
-20°C (which would be -4°F) sounds highly unlikely for Berlin. I live in Dresden (about 200km south of Berlin), and the lowest we had was maybe -10°C on a single day last winter. It hovered between 0 and -5 for a while (maybe two or three weeks), resulting in an unusually persistent snow cover. (I'm not used to seeing snow for more than a week at once.)

Before Dresden, I lived north of Berlin, near the Baltic Sea, and I don't recall -20°C there either. (Well, maybe it happened a few times over the course of my childhood, but I cannot recall anymore.)

I highly motivated and want to learn in a professional environment. This would be a wonderful opportunity for me to work on your side.
Looking forward to your reply, please accept, Madam, Sir, the expression of my most profound respect.

Hello here,

Thinky beeing unmaintened, we've been starting a new RethinkDB ORM for our needs. It has some parts based on Thinky of course, but here are the main differences :

- Support for custom join tables, pivot data, 3-way relationships (or more)

- Support for Joi for schema descriptors

- Using RxJS for changefeeds

- Simple source code

- `deleteAll` does not exists :(

- `sync()` function to ensure everything's ready

> Are people in German nice to Indian people?

If you have an Indian accent, that should be pretty recognizable. If you don't speak, though, expect people to think that you're from the Middle East, a region that's (to say it lightly) not that popular with a certain part of Germans.

Which isn't to say that you won't be able to make friends. Quite on the contrary. The outspoken racism of a small part of the population (catch phrase: "I'm not a nazi, BUT...") has made another part of the population even more willing to embrace multiculturalism.
The /r/programming discussion of this is interesting [1].

Someone does a Go version and gets the same speed as GNU yes. Someone else tries several languages. This person got the same speed in luajit, and faster in m4 and php. Ruby and perl about 10% slower, python2 about 10% slower still, and python3 about half that. The code is given for all of these, and subsequent comments improved python3 about 50% from his results, but still not up to python2.

Google is trying to patent video compression use of Asymmetric Numeral Systems
Asymmetric Numeral Systems ([1]) is entropy coding family currently replacing Huffman and arithmetic coding in data compressors, among others, of Apple, Facebook and Google, thanks to being up to 30x faster [2]. Its author has made it public to prevent pathology of arithmetic coding, which wide use was blocked by patents for many decades ([3], [4]).

However, currently others are trying to patent basic applications of ANS – including Google for AV1 video compressor (initially suggested by ANS author, who has helped them for the last 3 years: [5]) in very general patent application, to prevent others from using it in image and video compression – claims and sources: [6]

Hi, interesting answers.

1) Could you tell me more about replenishment of Uranium in seawater, or point me towards your source?

Wouldn't it mean that we would reach a maximum saturation of Uranium in the ocean after some time (with precipitation of excess Uranium in the form of salts)?

Have you seen / access to estimates of Uranium electrode deposition cost from water? Are they cost competitive in any way in comparison to other energy systems that will be employed in the future?

At the end, you would need to use electrical energy converted from another source to gain Uranium. For me, that scenario is a bit 'fishy'.
Thanks for sharing Jordan!
The selected approach "1 customer data artifact == 1 database metadata object" doesn't look scalable. Sooner or later (I bet sooner) metadata maintenance overhead will outweigh all the benefits. It didn't work with tables in thousands projects (poor man's multi-tenancy) there's no reason it'll work with indexes.

Treat all your metadata as data at DB level, your DB metadata are one level higher.

Would you prefer the "humans are basically good" narrative?

Do you honestly find that to be a better explanation of human history the past few thousand years than "humans are evil, and the cause of all nature's ills"?

Personally, I find the latter proves true to life. Better to accept it and deal with it, than to sweep it under the rug.
The problem, as talked about in the article, is that it is NOT science. Science involves experimentation, which string theory so far has eschewed. It more resembles mathematics in that sense (which is ostensibly not a science either).
Leipzig (about 200km south-west of Berlin) is also quite hot with startups right now from what I've heard. Cost of living is (afaik) lower than in Berlin or Munich, and the city is pretty nice to look at (lots of green, and the city center has been restored to former glory after the Wall fell). As an added bonus, it's quite central within Germany and well-connected traffic-wise, so you can get to any other place in Germany within 5 hours max.
I hate to do it but I have to do it, the "String" phenomenon is an out-growth of the academic (industrial?) complex. When you have a group of closely knit scientists from a handful of universities who have a steady stream of cheap labor and fed by a media that bedazzles their untestable hypotheses, when you're propped up by that hype and prestige, the fumes that academics at the top feed off, then you can plunge further into the deep, while offsetting the externalities and opportunity costs onto governments and broken graduate students who eventually find themselves unemployable after about 5 to 6 years.

I smelled the stink early on when a project at the LHC I was joining found 6 (plus or minus 4!) possible supersymmetry events in the two years of PBs of LHC data(!) in their specific search. I made the bet against supersymmetry and went for a less hyped field, and now that their funding is drying up, I'm happily taking almost double (or more) the salary compared to other graduate students since I'm in another field. Haven't regretted since.

The hype behind string theory and HEP in general needs to die. There are so many interesting problems worthy of investigation that are not High Energy or Quantum Gravity. Yes, few things beat the fun math of HEP and string theory (although there are close contenders in the condensed matter world), few things--except perhaps validation in experiment...you know, the entire point of science in the first place.
You can replace "UK" by "the rest of the world" and it would still be accurate. For example, UK has probably the highest salaries in Europe.
This explanation of why larger batches might make optimization harder makes a fair amount of sense to me. This comment on Quora helps a bit as well - with a slightly different approach to characterizing the trade off of batch size/accuracy/runtime performance.

https://www.quora.com/Intuitively-how-does-mini-batch-size-a...

I wonder if rather than computing a single gradient for a large batch you could simultaneously compute a gradient for the batch and for several subsets of the batch -- then pick or combine the gradient subset(s) that most differ from the full batch result. Not sure if that would work out to a computational efficiency gain.

Are there any optimizers that dynamically scale the batch size up/down based on an online metric?

This is super interesting. I believe the general expectation was that convolutional neural networks would soon surpass recurrent neural networks in machine translation tasks, but this is an entirely novel approach.
> You really have no reason to own a car in Germany.

If (and only if) you're living in a city. A lot of people live in the villages surrounding a city and commute into the city center by car.

Berlin might be an exception here because Berlin is just so fucking huge that you cannot commute into the city center from outside the city within reasonable time.
Why does this affect your device? Is it not calculating everything locally?
And in the real world you learn that price elasticity is a suggestion rather than a law.
String theory might occupy a different space perhaps, this is kind of like changing the underlying domain so now your function is "continuous" somewhere, although String theory and HEP theory in general isn't quite rigorous enough to be considered mathematics proper.

Yeah, the US making you pay taxes as a citizen while working abroad is pretty cruel. I had a colleague from America who was sitting in our German office for some time, who didn't know about this rule and was utterly shocked when the US told him he'd have to pay some 20k dollars or so in taxes. He flew back to the US within a day or so to avoid any additional taxes.
