These are your most expensive ingredients in NYC today in a non-upscale ( and non-ethnic ) supermarkets. At best you are getting 1/4lb per portion. All other ingredients would barely make a dollar if you don't buy a precious single onion and instead buy a bag of onions or instead of getting a single carrot, you buy a small bags of carrots.

Obviously you don't buy salmon when it is $16/lb as you know that at some point over next few weeks it would be $11/lb. The last one that I got at Chelsea market was $9.99/lb because they did not correctly predict how many were going to be bought as fillets and sushi so they wanted to offload the last two at the end of the day before getting another 10 next morning.

BA cost of raw ingredients is at best 5-10% better than yours when you walk into a random supermarket and just buy non-insanely priced items.
The reason is because the starting salaries of people coming out of the boot camps is higher than the average starting salary of people coming out of top colleges.

Tech Bootcamps and tech college replacements have a starting salary around 80-100K whereas top schools for an average graduate(including ALL graduates, not just CS majors) is less than 80K.

Test scores are dumb. They don't matter. What matters is OUTCOME. And the best way to measure outcome is via salary.
Does it have the same pricing as O'Reilly's online store did? Heavy discounts (60%+) for multiple book purchases over $100? Early access books? What about .mobi? (I still have some actual eInk Kindles including the original DX!)
I have some reservations about how this is designed.

All we need are columns labeled with conditions. We don't need rows. And the matrix can just have true/false/don't-care entries, with code assigned to rows.

Concretely, say we have these conditions:

(> x y) (stringp foo) (oddp n)

Right? Okay, so now we can identify the combinations of these and assign them to code like this:

(> x y) (stringp foo) (oddp n)
#t #t (whatever)
#t #t (other-thing)
#t #f (etc)

There could be a way to mark some of the rows as having "fall through" behavior. If they match, the expression is evaluated (for its side effects, obviously), but then subsequent rows can still match.

This could be worked into a straightforward S-exp syntax without any diagramming shennanigans:

(table-cond
(> x y) (stringp foo) (oddp n)
#t () #t (let [...]
(whatever))
() #t #t (other-thing)
#t #f () (etc))

Here, don't cares are denoted using (). Something else could be chosen.

A #f entry means "must be explicitly false". A blank column entry is a "don't care"; that condition is not taken into account for that row.

I ran into a similar issue with kernel memory caching behavior.

While it's nice to just say LOL upgrade you fool, most of us are stuck with the environment were given.

You can adjust kernel level memory behavior, in particular vfs_cache_pressure can be set very high to force dentry to empty more aggressively.

I think the reason for the denials is a change in the interpretation of the rules.

ESTA used to be for short term visits for any reason.

I think some people in CBP now interpret it to mean a short stay that is not "work" related.

You can look up all the academics -- which were definitely covered by ESTA -- who have had issues because some people at the border were not sure on how to interpret them.

They are not alone. Way back in 2007 or so (so before Trump, but after 9/11), I overheard a German visa officer tell an American that it was totally illegal for them to work if they just came as a visitor. He had to get a work visa and it was long and complicated.

He had made the mistake of telling her that he planned to hop over to visit some clients.

He then said something like "oh, ok, its not a work trip its just a vacation. Nevermind about the visa, good bye." and walked out.

I think someone interpreted the conference as "work", and that is what lead to all this.

I think they (whoever it is) should make it clear to the officers what the policy is, and I also think the policy should be that conferences and the like are covered by ESTA.
> It is completely unthinkable that Facebook would do this.

Facebook is a (among many other things) a software company, and software companies do warfare with patents. It might be their least favorite weapon, one they have yet to use - but "unthinkable" can only refer to your beliefs -- it is actually extremely thinkable, even if at this point in time improbable.

You might be interested in what this commentator on economics had to say about piecework:

"Some workmen, indeed, when they can earn in four days what will maintain them through the week, will be idle the other three. This, however, is by no means the case with the greater part. Workmen, on the contrary, when they are liberally paid by the piece, are very apt to overwork themselves, and to ruin their health and constitution in a few years. A carpenter in London, and in some other places, is not supposed to last in his utmost vigour above eight years. Something of the same kind happens in many other trades, in which the workmen are paid by the piece; as they generally are in manufactures, and even in country labour, wherever wages are higher than ordinary.

"Almost every class of artificers is subject to some peculiar infirmity occasioned by excessive application to their peculiar species of work. Ramuzzini, an eminent Italian physician, has written a particular book concerning such diseases. We do not reckon our soldiers the most industrious set of people among us; yet when soldiers have been employed in some particular sorts of work, and liberally paid by the piece, their officers have frequently been obliged to stipulate with the undertaker, that they should not be allowed to earn above a certain sum every day, according to the rate at which they were paid. Till this stipulation was made, mutual emulation, and the desire of greater gain, frequently prompted them to overwork themselves, and to hurt their health by excessive labour.

"Excessive application, during four days of the week, is frequently the real cause of the idleness of the other three, so much and so loudly complained of. Great labour, either of mind or body, continued for several days together is, in most men, naturally followed by a great desire of relaxation, which, if not restrained by force, or by some strong necessity, is almost irresistible. It is the call of nature, which requires to be relieved by some indulgence, sometimes of ease only, but sometimes too of dissipation and diversion. If it is not complied with, the consequences are often dangerous and sometimes fatal, and such as almost always, sooner or later, bring on the peculiar infirmity of the trade. If masters would always listen to the dictates of reason and humanity, they have frequently occasion rather to moderate, than to animate the application of many of their workmen.

"It will be found, I believe, in every sort of trade, that the man who works so moderately, as to be able to work constantly, not only preserves his health the longest, but, in the course of the year, executes the greatest quantity of work."

-- Adam Smith, An Inquiry Into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, 1776. Book 1, Chapter 8

Very true, I'd personally never use the tab completion since the secrets are short enough, and I will probably raise an issue on the project to have that be optional.

More people should know about Paul Fussell's book.

>Being at work and not working is quite a far cry from actively lying that you did things that you didn't do, or from inserting defects in your code so that they pay you to remove them.

But that's almost exactly what my coworkers did: Lie. If the manager came by asking if the work was done, they'd say no even if it were done. Or they'd intentionally ensure they didn't have it done until near the deadline, which to me is the same as intentionally ensuring your work is not done by introducing defects.

>It's at least honest to screw around at work when your manager can observe that fact,

Who screws around work where their manager can observe it? These people would pretend to work. Which could mean having the Excel sheet open whenever the manager is nearby and do random work.

>Frankly, I'm finding what I'm reading from you and others here so outrageous that I'm nearing a loss for more words. I literally cannot remember the last time (i.e. I don't think there was one) I was this disappointed at HN users and ashamed of even being among them. It's disgusting.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are misreading people's comments. I could easily flip this around and say I'm disgusted that you think pretending to work is OK.

As I said, I still find the action unprofessional, and that's why I chose to leave. But I will point out that people who choose to stay and want to do well in the job should behave as the others are (pretend to work). If the employer is not fulfilling his moral/ethical duty, you shouldn't feel obligated to if you cannot leave.

I think I'm being clear enough. There has been an objectively massive shift in wealth between low and middle income earners to wealthy asset accumulators over the past 30 years, and that has accelerated over the past 10. This solution you're lauding has been engineered by exactly those asset accumulators as a response to problems caused by exactly those asset accumulators.

It's like you're cheering on an arsonist because after the fire he lit that has burned down your house, he hands you a bucket of urine to help put the fire out.
All I can say is that this is not universal. My colleagues in Research and I have been able to pursue longer-term research directions at Mozilla that are now successful and which, frankly, most other companies would have shut down long ago for not having enough short-term value.
Try gigster.com. It's a bit hit and miss but it works kind of like you are describing.
You can't retain the best workers with that attitude. Most workers don't see work as punishment but the time it takes is an impediment to other aspects of their lives that generate more personal value that their job.

If you take a worker who operates efficiently to increase their own personal time and increase their workload without providing some offsetting "carrot." The worker has two rational responses in a liquid employment market:

1) Reduce their efficiency to median company levels and only use their efficiency "secretly." Congratulations, you've broken their spirit!

2) Find another job because they're an above average employee.

In this case, the manager knew enough to know the person was spewing BS objections most of the time. He was actually an expert in the field and the discussions were often of a technical nature related to his expertise.

Although yes, it was a separate problem that he didn't know plenty of the operational "small" details which caused him to always underestimate project timelines.

"Should" is an interesting word choice here. It seems to me that someone doing evil "should" stop doing it and report his guilt to the proper authorities. Not change his behavior to more effectively cover it up.
>Higgins’ incitement to violence passed muster because it targeted a specific sub-group of Muslims — those that are “radicalized” — while Delgado’s post was deleted for attacking whites in general.

That seems disingenuous. Higgins' rant starts by pitching "Christendom" with-a-capital-C against "these heathen animals", before he ever mentions radicalization. And when he does mention it, he says "radicalized Islamic suspect", which is fairly meaningless as a category as no burden of proof is required. Coupled with repeated incitements to "kill them all", I think that's pretty clearly directed at all Muslims.

The trouble with this policy is, I can apparently be as racist and hateful as I like as long as I take care to slip a "non-protected category" in there - even if by doing so I am implying that all members of the protected category are such. For example, "lynch every last one of those baby-raping niggers" is fine, because it only applies to those niggers that rape babies. In fact it is exactly this sort of speech that is the most harmful - "All niggers rape babies and we should lynch them" is far less potent.
Land redistribution is indeed what drove many communist revolutions in the third world, more than philosophical differences about economic systems.
You are completely correct. I was considering that to be like ocaml, kotlin, scala, etc which transpile to JS. For what it's worth, I think either ocaml or SML is far better than dart for compiling to JS, but dart is far better than typescript (and has a more sound type system). It's not a huge wonder that Google apparently uses angular-dart instead of the typescript version.
The problem is that interoperability is basically impossible.

There is a reason that you can't have everything on one blockchain.

And that is because blockchain scales in an N squared manner.

A chain that is attacked is easily going to shift to a different PoW that renders hundreds of millions of dollars of miner hardware obsolete. And the miners know it.

You can argue it all you like. Nodes define consensus in bitcoin, not miners.

Clearly.

You mean like assuming that 80,000+ current bitcoin core reference node users are going to suddenly uninstall their node client software, and install a new unreviewed, untested node client? Because a bunch of suits got together in new york to have a pow-wow? In three months? You mean those adults?

The only reason the nya is accelerating the adoption of segwit before aug 1 is because of these supposed uasf kool-aid drinkers. And isn't it kind of telling that this scalability that has been blocked by bitmain for a year is now suddenly good for everyone? Even though they've been blocking it for a year?

> it is frustrating right now due to scaling.

Take it up with bitmain. They've been blocking scalability for a year now. I'm not that concerned though. I'm happy with just the asicboost bug being fixed and no increased blocksize. Looks like I'm just going to get the blocksize anyway, and I can deal with that. But the hard-fork three months later? You can fork off onto china-coin if you want. I'll just continue using bitcoin.
Decide the Career Track – Developer or QA
Recently my younger cousin asked me about how to decide about selecting being a QA or a developer in Software Engineering Career. Suggest any questions or aspects which help in deciding the cross roads.
The whole blockchain festival doesn't make sense to me. Every blockchain must have a coin attached to it, otherwise there's no incentive to people to watch the blockchain and invest resources in securing it. Bitcoin was about money, not "distributed consensus", that was just a way to achieve money. Now when people talk about blockchains as being the solution to the distributed consensus problem they forget about the money part of it.

The most bizarre phenomenon I've seen was Tezos, a coin whose value proposition was that of solving governance through the same blockchain it would use to manage its coins. The creator of Tezos was talking about governance as a consensus problem that could be solved in the same way money was solved by Bitcoin ("everybody must agree, right?") without realizing there were two different concepts of "consensus" being used.

tl;dr

Prof Jim Vaupel, a specialist in ageing
at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic
Research in Germany [is outraged at the idea
that statistics might be used to infer clues
regarding commonplace realities about the
natural world as it exists, based on typical
observations of everyday circumstance.]

It's irrational to get angry at the use of statistical figures as a utility, in order to gauge the appropriate manner of approach to natural barriers emergent in phenomena found in the wild.

Just because we come across a rocky outcropping, doesn't mean it can't be climbed, just as much as it may mean it can't be easily climbed.

This looks like a hard problem, which very likely means that if one gets "old" before it starts to look like an easy problem, it may come true that one might be rendered unrescuable or pass away altogether before life-extending therapies can improve a person's life span.
One of the documented use cases for UPnP is IGD which expressly allows UPnP devices to configure fire wall rules and to set up NAT to map ports to the outside world. So a UPnP device that wishes to expose itself to the outside world is able to do so and this is by design, not by accident. Whether you agree with that or not is another matter.
Looking at it from the other direction, we can start with the premise that applications like Excel, Max, Nuke, and Blender are already visual DSLs. The users are "programmers" of a sort, but not "coders" because they don't type code. Then the question is whether such a DSL can be extended to general-purpose computation with any advantages over text-based coding languages.
