One thing that I've found difficult to do at times is to give your team space. Space to explore, try new things, do some things differently than you would do, make mistakes, etc.

You should always feel like you can overrule or supplement a decision, but you don't have to be the one to come up with every solution.
API Security Checklist for developers
So true. I got my CS degree at a top school in US, I work at a good startup and get paid very well. But I am so disillusioned with the United States, I feel like going back to India is much better than being an H1B slave.
True. Some will go other places like you mention and some will remain in their home countries.

In any case, it's not just having talent go to developing countries that I see as a positive, but also seeing other countries' increasing tech scenes. I think having geographical diversification in the tech world is healthy. For starters, if one country ever elects a leader that wants to attack tech and automation as aggressively as the US leadership is attacking immigrants, then human technological progress will be less affected.

I think there's merit to both arguments - but I agree with the grandparent comment in that too often nowadays we tend to dismiss people in Ivy League colleges as simply products of a wealthy background.

This is one of the reasons I never liked to work with certain C++ teams back on my C++ days and drifted to other languages that don't allow to turn features off, because I always enjoyed having exceptions and RTTI turned on.
I agree. If your provider goes down you need to literally change your email and inform everyone and change it in all your services. If you own the domain, you can just switch providers.
Sure---if catering keeps that sirloin roast coming for another seven days. Have you tried it?
That's a tough question, and now I'm not so sure I can defend my opinion. It just comes from the fact that (today) the output will not be as good as a human writer. It's disingenuous to pass off a low quality product as a higher quality product, when it will take my time and attention reading it to differentiate them based on quality. Think of it in terms of branding and counterfeiting.

Later, after general AI, I will argue the opposite, that human-written articles should be labeled as such so I don't waste my time on them. ;)

ive only used vbscript and javascript extensibly. when ive tried java and #C ive been annoyed by the verbosity of types. and when looking at haskel or ocaml im just confused. for me types are an optimization or extra documentation for undescriptive naming, like str x, int y, list z. vs. name,age,friends.
so i want to know what im missing, will there be less bugs and regressions? will i be more productive ?

That would cool!

> Is your display client using some sort of "open" protocol that you could hook other things?

Pretty much, except it's technically the server which does the rendering etc., and the clients send over information about data structures (as JSON 'operations' which say thing like add/remove to/from some position in a data structure). It probably would not be very hard to write a client which observes React programs and sends that info over.
Because throwing an exception can bubble across library boundaries, including over C-style APIs that are fully compatible across library boundaries.
>maybe a fork of Storj's core to be compatible with Onion vs Blockchain?

That is the impression I get from the Storj and ORC faq's. They both are distributed storage networks with files split up in pieces and encrypted. Storj uses the blockchain to make files immutable, ORC uses tor hidden services and zcash to make the file owners anonymous and the servers hidden.

I went to film school in Finland around 2000, and I remember that 25 fps was the preferred production and projection rate for 35mm. I got the impression that this was common practice elsewhere in Europe as well, but I don't know for sure.
Oh nonsense, it's not all or nothing. There could be value in:

* Making the trust-liability explicit

* Building a trust-less core system that can swap out 'trustful' sources of data as needed

* Streamlining the processing and accounting of something that depends on a 'trustful' source of data

Not to mention that trust-less data is potentially achievable with prediction markets. This is obviously not a trivial innovation, and they may not be practical, but writing off the whole system is unfounded at this point.

> It seems very unlikely that either a human typing this, or a computerized system would make these mistakes (if it learns word associations from a corpus).

You underestimate people's ability to make language errors, including
spelling ones. Every time I see somebody I suspect is a native English speaher
using "it's" for "its", I grind my teeth. (Another instance is somebody using
phrase like "as a programmer, the data bus should be written..." to mean "I,
as a programmer, think that..."; this phrasing makes me simply furious.) With
those errors they make reading my second language so much harder, and I can't
even point their bad spelling or writing style out, because I'm seen as being
nitpicking or something.
The mix up is not your fault. I see it routinely written that the interpretations don't make any difference to predictions, and I never see anyone talk about or acknowledge the issues I just raised. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
Fair enough, though I'm not talking about capital punishment or lack of racism in the US justice system. It's terribly unfair, especially to blacks in the US - zero argument there.

Do you have any suggestions on straight, fact-based reading on the subject, sources that aren't trying to appear sensitive? It's hard - even admitting races and may have differences upsets people.

On Norway, I'm just saying they don't have the same levels of racism baggage as the US regarding "Africans" (quotes cause it seems weird that many of them have families in the US longer than mine, but I would get no qualifiers as an American) yet still Norway sees overrepresentation.

Citation needed.

> I would be willing to bet there is a strong inverse correlation between link size and likelihood of being clicked.

4 extra characters (www.) is a pretty small fraction of the total link length most of the time, when people link to individual blog posts or what have you. I'd argue that readability of the link is far more important, and www does not harm that.
I wonder if the VOD URIs are consistent enough that you could automate adding a link to the VOD+timestamp to your git commit descriptions...
When I let go of something, it falls to the floor and hits it at exactly the correct speed. The correct speed accounting for gravity and the air and air currents and all sorts of other things. That's a lot of calculations to make. And it was exactly correct at every instant of the fall as well! Somehow, all these calculations are being made instantly. Where are those calculations occurring?
Who said so? Look, 200 years ago someone said that the atom was solid and it was science. If someone said Dalton was wrong at the time she would not be wrong. And we can't deny that ADHD sells a lot so there are a lot of reasons and funds for this kind of research and science.

You call it analysis, I call it bullshit.

Doesn't every bit of research we have show how hopeless all this analysis is?

Cloudflare, among others, has a feature called "CNAME flattening" that resolves the CNAME to an IP and serves it up as an A record. It makes this articles point a non-issue, and in fact probably results in a faster DNS lookup. The only drawback is that it is unclear how often they refresh the value.

I'll try to take a look at this later, but Amazon says the publish date is 2017. I'm really looking for something that prognosticates.
outlook on mobile and web is great. I happily throw my $8/ month at them.

My only peeve is the confusing admin tools -- it is still Exchange on the backend, so there are a ton of features and settings that are simply in the way.
Random thoughts:

* Facts delivered with arbitrary fluff words is pointless even when written by a human - it obfuscates the
real purpose which is the data
* Companies pay humans to deliver articles in most cases and the bias of the writer or the institution
that paid for it shines through. I cannot find a real difference between intentional angling by
payment or by algorithm
* When the day arises where computers could generate actually new, intelligent and thoughtful pieces I
for one will be very interested in reading them. Sadly there would be millions of variations that could
occur at an astounding pace. We'd then need algorithms to filter the generated content for the things
that are really noteworthy.
* News at its core is a sequence of facts which begs the question if we really need the cruft around
those facts which can often lead to misinterpretation?
I think that would be really great. You can already call Rust code via FFI, but it looks like that languages have a lot in common with the LLVM backend, and memory- and type-safety. Imagine the boost to productivity Pony users would get if they could call Rust code from the crates.io ecosystem from Pony, with next to no glue code?
Yes, facts don't matter, only the political pedigree of the person relating them.

My mind always boggles at humanity's general inability to standardize on one thing without great pain and fighting. Whether it's Metric vs. Imperial, Beta vs. VHS, Blu-ray vs. HDDVD, OpenGL vs. DirectX, USB speeds, power connectors, instant messaging protocols. Nobody can just sit together and cooperate--we always have to go through that painful period with multiple incompatible standards that fight it out until (hopefully) one of them wins.
>The DMCA created anonymity? Whatever, I'm not even going to try to understand this one

Not sure if you are trying to be intentionally dense. Have you heard of DMCA notices ? You get them if your IP is in the swarm, and are uploading copyrighted content. Hence the need for anonymity.

>WTF does this mean? You can't distribute content over Tor or VPNs?

Again, you seem to like being thick for no reason. You can distribute content over every medium imaginable. That doesn't make it the best or an efficient medium.

>Wrong. It works incredibly well.

You can't have adaptive streaming bitrates. The tracker model still relies on a central tracker. Magnet links solve some of those issues, but not everything. There are still some things that are, or would be better off, being centralised. There are several limitations that we don't need to go into length, but it's a far cry from incredible.
This is such a clean concept.

If you have a tiny application, doing a tiny thing, do you need redis? Do you need sqlite? do you need to write some custom-text-file-ma-bob? nah. I feel like simple simple little tools like this are in short supply.
neither is true. Having capital means you will blow it a good portion of the time. Control is illusionary, just as it was for Sears, IBM, and Microsoft.
Huckleberries on hot summer days: Henry David Thoreau
This is a great article for programmers too - maybe too much for non technical artists.

The article doesn't really go into how to make more performant art, and thats probably for the best - a lot of that will be game and engine dependent. It's really easy to 'optimize' in a way that hurts the engine (or for programmers to build/configure the engine and shaders in a way that is counter to the artists workflow or visual targets).
Can you explain? I don't see how you got to that conclusion.
Ask HN: Is starting a UI design service for nonprofits a good idea?

For practical listening, I actually prefer modern brickwall mastering techniques to more traditional mastering with a high dynamic range, for one reason: what the author sees as "hijacking the volume control from the listener" I would consider the opposite.

With a high dynamic range, a headphones listener may feel the need to adjust the volume several times in a song to boost the clarity of softer sections or to make louder sections more comfortable to the ears, depending on the listening environment. With a "loud," low dynamic range, however, the listener need only adjust the volume once, as the whole track is roughly the same volume. In other words, the listener is in control of the volume, rather than the engineer.
Anyone know of a list or resource that has collected all the of this type of notebook IDE's? I know of a few but I'm sure there are more out there.
Bloomberg has these articles as well. If a service that costs $20K a year is promoting these (and not removing), it's a safe bet "free" Google Finance will be showing more rather than less of these in the future.
The lack of search kills it though for me. Doesn't say anything about that for the premium tier either. But even for a small test run, no search and no IMAP so I can't hook up a search engine myself makes this largely useless to me. Sad though, it looks pretty promising.

Aside, IMAP and POP3 can guarantee end-to-end encryption. Since they aren't used to send your messages, just for you to fetch them from your provider, all you need is TLS and we're done. So it could be supported without compromising much of anything from a security perspective, though you'd lose the rest of the encryption features.
I'll second this. 4 companies across three years before landing at Amazon.
I've already explained in one of my earlier posts in this very thread: In my opinion, it was dishonest to advertise certificates as "100% free" when they charged for revocation.

Just because the revocation charges were documented somewhere on the web site doesn't make it right. A large percentage of certificates is revoked. Revocation is a normal and expected part of certificate lifecycle. Thus they should have been crystal clear upfront saying "we charge for revocation" in the same sentence where they said "we don't charge for issuance". They could have mentioned it on the same page, but they didn't do that either (I just checked their "free" certificate page from a random point in time.) So ask yourself why they didn't put such an important fact where most people would see it.
>Try L-Theanine and Caffeine combination in a 2:1 ratio
How do you consume this? Pills?

Yeah, generally I take a 200 mg pill. It's worth giving a shot, the effects wont be as strong as amphetamines, but they will make a difference. People say to start with 200mg Theanine and 100mg caffeine, this depends on your caffeine tolerance. Coffee is preferable to caffeine pills, as there are beneficial additives.

>I would stop using psychedelics they are not healthy for the brain
Source? So far I read the opposite, eg [0]

This was anecdotal, but everyone I know (and I know alot of people) who took a ton of psychedelics was noticibly slower. I have also dosed LSD and felt that it negatively affected my cognition. They have such a dramatic effect on the pysche, it is really hard to believe they leave no effects. Also, the amount of research that has been has been near zero. All we have are the acid casualities of the 60s.

Also levels of well being is seperate from ability to focus.
Watts in the Water - Tapping the Oceans for Power
Because it's consumerism. You want quick and deep stimulus. Not subtlety. When you're "educated" [1] you start to look the other way around. I remember understanding the value of a good DAC chip on a smartphone, even with a crappy mp3, I could rediscover songs that I've listened to a thousand time on bad DACs.

I think the use-cases are different here. This library is set up for write-once, then read-only access later. LevelDB is all about mutability. I think the use-cases here is for constant-time lookups on fixed-size data sets. LevelDB is a tree-based map, where this is a hashmap, which may give better performance for the author's purposes.

From the second paragraph:

My usage is mostly to build the hashtable once and then reuse it many times. Several design choices reflect this bias and so does performance. Building the hash table can take a while. A big (roughly 1 billion entries) table took almost 1 hour to build. This compares to about 10 minutes for building a Python hashtable of the same size.

I used to use this a bunch when calculating gradient descent algorithms, but I've since moved to using libraries with auto-differentiation (numpy with autodiff or theano) and it's a huge force multiplier for my work (not to mention GPU implementations basically for free).

Of course there's always some derivation that's easiest done by hand.
