My message is it's a very thin line. And one day you go from "this is fine" to "whoa, hold on." The longer you hang onto justifications for heavy drinking, the easier it is to cross that line.

You can offer any advice you like, my issue is no longer recognition of the problem. I'm working hard at fixing this.

My purpose in engaging is to let you know that often it's hard to recognize where you are on the spectrum. Your perfectly fine situation today may reveal itself to be less than ok in the near future. That's what happened with me.

Edit: and as you described, I can still drink 6-8-10 drinks until the early morning and be perfectly fine the next day. The effects of drinking are cumulative and not always easy to see on a daily basis, particularly when you get to the point where there's little acute effect from a night of drinking. I don't really get hangovers anymore, so it's easy to say "hey, it's fine, my life is going as it should and I feel ok."
there will only be a legal number of single family homes because we legally require the land to be used for single family homes. Change the land use regulations to change the makeup of the land. If they upzoned the land from RH-1 to RH-4 most of those SFHs would be subdivided into multiple units. Thats the reason many apartments in SF are in divided victorians.
Word! I know a lot of places paying a lot less than that lol.

Shoot, when I graduated from college a few years ago I knew people taking up jobs at $70k/year. In programming. XD In California, in the Bay Area even!

I dunno where people are getting these $200k/year jobs but I'd totally take one...
Analysis that claims counter-intuitive conclusions should provide extraordinary evidence. The ones you provided are pretty tepid, and, as I mentioned, do not even deal with the actual important question at hand.

Edit: To be more precise, on a regular basis one reads reports of black people getting entangled in situations where law enforcement escalates an encounter into violence and/or death, or where the officer involved gets away without legal consequences for initiating such escalation. Does this happen just as regularly with other races? If so, where is the reportage? Is it being deliberately ignored by the media? Nothing you linked addresses this.
In the future maybe we can just hook up a drone to this and have it fly around taking nice pictures.

>it's not like similar doesn't happen with US providers

I think that's a false equivalence - the TLAs might have access to your data, but are unlikely to look at it/act upon it except when your company/users run afoul of the law. It seems China is much more proactive in this regard - actively policing speech, etc. OTOH, given the political situation in the US, one can't rule out a slide towards parity with the situation in China, and indeed it seems pretty likely to me.

What does IBM even do anymore? Is it some bizarre set of buildings where they just play with computers and print money?
What product do they sell? Whom do they sell it to?

Not quite sure if I understand the question, but we've been using their iOS product for a couple years now and have appreciated their support. They upped their game last year with a key hire or two, although there were growing pains.

Overall we are happy with it. I don't think CircleCI 2.0 is available yet for iOS, though, so nothing new to discuss yet.

Google and Amazon were presumably left out because the segment was in the context of the healthcare field. I don't think DeepMind's healthcare initiatives were very mature at that point.

I agree the language is problematic for non-technical viewers, but at the same time these are difficult concepts to explain to non-technical people, and explain the details of what it can't do is obviously much less compelling than focusing on what it can do.

No need for judgement. But I'm wondering if she has had the opportunity to grieve a childhood with a father who was checked out emotionally and how that relationship has laid a foundation for how she relates to her partner and the world.

No need to "judge", but if she's still seeing her father as super human, she's probably got some healing to do to allow him, and her, to be ok with their humanity.
FWIW I think this is a fair criticism. We've had so much help from the Go community, not just for those two issues but also for essentially all the work we've done since the release in 2009. Go simply wouldn't exist without the community, and we're very grateful for it.

I couldn't fit any kinds of thank yous into the talk, except for the credit to the overall community in the first few minutes, because I had a lot to say and only 25 minutes. It's possible I should have written an extended blog post that was more than just the talk, but I didn't - the blog post is just the talk, as it says.
Rather than correcting grammar, why don't you respond to the numerous rebuttals of your point of view elsewhere in this thread ?

You says its important but don't explain why, and empathise that you place no "normative judgement" on it.

Normative judgment doesn't make sense btw, judgement adhering to the norm - eh wat ? I think you meant moral/ethical.

IBM has a huge problem with misrepresentation. It goes all the way to the top, with a CEO that promises major growth without a clear plan forward. The employees themselves seem to doubt whether they'll have a job in the near future, given the near-annual mass layoffs and the unclear market strategy.

Talking about market strategy, no one knows what IBM does anymore other than garner support contracts and land body-shop jobs. Everyone knows Watson because it's won Jeopardy and a few other games. But that's not because Watson is ground-breaking or anything, but because IBM hasn't done anything else new in 5-10 years. So Watson seems less like a crowning achievement, and more like debris from the Titanic. The company's treading water, and barely, at that.

Sales, however, swears that Watson can do everything from getting the best tax return to curing hair-loss and replacing 80% of the work force. But anyone who's not a fool knows that current AI still has to be tailored towards an industry to be useful. And that's still going to take a huge amount T&M investment. Which you can see from the well-known failed (and expensive) Watson projects.

Usually the only companies who fall for it are the ones where management is less about technical skills and more about kickbacks and favor trading. Or national/international-level contracts where the most important thing required is someone to blame or sue when things inevitably go wrong. Everyone else either understands the technology is more complicated than the presentation, or they have enough insight into IBM to discount the powerpoints.

I mean, IBM still isn't as bad as Oracle. But, if I had to pick a metaphor for IBM's reputation... I'd go with "IBM is as much an innovator as Steven Seagal is an action star."
Chipkill is an IBM name for the feature that corrects multiple bit errors in DRAM, are you sure about the reboot thing or are there two similarly named ECC techs that do different things?
And if you _do_ want to assign blame, it's fine to put it on us. I did as much in the talk:

"Just as we at Google did not at first understand the significance of handling leap second time resets correctly, we did not effectively convey to the broader Go community the significance of handling gradual code migration and repair during large-scale changes."

Our fault, both times.
Good to hear from someone working on W.Health. Just yesterday I saw the latest ad. on Watson which is now promising to help Basketball recruiters spot future stars .. which is quite a let down compared to the original promises of Watson.

Anyways, any way for someone outside IBM to read about the health division effort and collaborations ?
Right. The difference is there's at least some push back from (some) US companies, where they attempt to use secure encryption schemes. Whereas in China, it's taken as a given that all these large enterprises will submit to any kind of government demands without resistance or public debate.
Two words - prove it.
How about not giving cops guns in the first place? It works in plenty of other countries. Of course, you still have armed police and SWAT teams available for more serious situations. I think short of this, nothing will solve any of the police shooting problems here in the states.
Ask HN: How to submit “List of prior Inventions”?
I'm currently submitting a list of prior inventions. I'm curious:

Should I add anything that would fall under California Labor Code Section 2870?
Is it worth doing if I don't think any invention has any monetary value?
There seems to be a cost associated with static types and that is that it takes longer to write code;

But this is not the only cost that matters, indeed might not even be a cost.

I've gone from being neutral about static vs. dynamic types to being pro-static types -- and the change happened when maintenance became a bigger part of my job.

Writing new code is now far less important to me than looking at a small part of a large system and trying to understand what is and is a not possible at that point. Static typing does not make this easy, but dynamic typing makes it far more difficult.

Forgive me, but why not just use Google Compute Engine in the Taiwan region? Can US citizens even signup and use Alibaba Cloud? I'm very skeptical about using a Chinese based cloud provider given the current world situation.

Also, back of the napkin math, but GCE is even cheaper.

2 Core CPU
8GB Memory
80GB SSD

You could do interactive view options / drill down with this that needs on the fly reanalysis of the traffic. Doing it all beforehand and generating all possible graph data "just in case" gets too expensive fast.

You're missing the point. It's not about whether I'm "ignorant" about your points or am ashamed of said ignorance, it's that you should never assume you know more than someone else—especially if you barely know them.

In my experience, there is never a benefit to assuming ignorance. Your original comment would have been much better without mentioning a "teachable moment." If you avoid assuming ignorance, then there are two outcomes:

1. The other person can actually not know what you're talking about and ask clarifying questions.

2. They do know what you're talking about, and can confirm your statements and extend it.

If you assume ignorance, you automatically put anyone who already knows what you're saying on edge. (This is also part of why "mansplaining" is such a grating phenomenon.) It's a conversational strategy with no upside and many downsides.

Having made that point, I'll say that I agree with everything you've said of there being lots of advantages that wealthy students have for getting into elite universities. That doesn't mean companies are necessarily wrong to concentrate on elite universities. Even though I think there are much better signals out there, if I had to choose a random Ivy league student vs. a random state college students I'd still choose the former.
"Need" is a strong word; I don't "need" to eat any one particular food. But I'm sure that between salads, Mexican food, sandwiches, and whatever else sounds good at the time, I eat at least that many.

> But this is not the only cost that matters, indeed might not even be a cost.

I'm not saying otherwise. My point is that there's no objective way to proclaim one better than the other. This depends on application domain, economic constraints, engineering constraints, what you're doing, and so forth.

Writing Ada software that controls a pacemaker has totally different requirements than exploratory programming in Jupyter that mostly deals with integers, floats, and arrays and matrices thereof, for example.
I'm not quite sure they are underused, but that's a relative judgment. Streams took a while to get right in node, and even now they're a little bit clunky. Not terrible, but not "pick it right up and run with it" easy. (If you want to use them, you probably should look at Mississippi https://www.npmjs.com/package/mississippi because that simplifies a lot of common tasks.)

AFAICT there used to be more energy in the community for them. Gulp.js was conceived as more powerful build pipeline that used streams (https://github.com/gulpjs/gulp), and that's the last time I remember anybody getting psyched about streams as "more elegant" than a nonstream version (in that case, Grunt).

Now, I think people tend to reach for streams when there's a performance-based reason for it, since streams can do things like faster time-to-first-byte, and less memory overhead.
From other responses in this thread, it sounds like they don't, but instead sell it to the executives who make purchasing decisions.

> Were you prepared to compare the plight of the solar installers who fall off of roofs and get injured to the construction workers injured on the job during various nuclear plant construction projects?

The Banqiao dam killed 170k, and that's just the largest dam failure, there's a heavy tail following it. Wind and solar don't have any single incident so dramatic, but they require so damn much manufacturing, construction, and maintenance to generate so little energy that they don't do particularly well in the comparisons I've seen.

Admittedly this is a surface level understanding, but you speak with the confidence of someone who knows better while providing even less concrete information. I'm hoping you've got deeper knowledge to back your position up and that you're willing to share.

> Were you ready to justify why states like New York needs to subsidize nuclear...

Everyone in the energy industry gets subsidies. Big subsidies. What matters are costs per kwh, and nuclear seems to win there too.

Are these numbers wrong? If they're wrong, and fission is actually much more expensive than it looks, is it because fission is fundamentally hard / risky or because the updated prices factor in risk due to irrational public perception?
Anyone with a passing familiarity for Watson does view it that way.
Have you actually used Go 1's goto? There's not a lot it can actually do. It's there for generated code state machines, and that's almost all it's good for. But yes, goto will stay in the absence of a very compelling benefit to take it out, a benefit that would far outweigh the cost of breaking all the programs that use it.

I'd say it's already all but at an end. The Witcher 3 is probably the most intensive game I currently own. On my CPU (i7-4790k, 4 core/8 thread) standing still in a crowded city environment shows about 50% load across all 8 HT cores. Once you start running through the city use across all cores rises to a steady 60-70% with regular (every 2-3 seconds) spikes to 90+% on all cores. That's a two year old game. I have a feeling that when the next big wave of major AAA titles starts to hit, many of them will be severely limited by 4 core/4thread.
If "fruit on toast" is a "frivolous luxury", then I can't think of a better example of how unimaginable wealth inequality in this country has become.

Capitalism is not a tool; it's a system of human relationships, typically intermediated by markets.

Tools can be used for different ends, whereas participation in capitalism determines the ends we apply our tools toward.

Participation in capitalism isn't optional for most people. If capitalism is a tool, it's a tool for a very small minority of people and a mandatory system for most.

They have you take a quiz and (maybe) do an interview with one of their partner companies. FWIW I took the quiz and it was actually one of the better "fill out this survey and we'll see if we want to hire you"'s that I've ever seen: finding subtle-ish errors in code, demonstrating more than beginner knowledge in a couple of languages, and a pretty solid set of design questions. I didn't feel out of my league, but I also didn't feel like my intelligence was insulted.
