To clarify, this quote (posted by tboyd47) is the text describing "non-cognitive skills" from the body of the linked PDF. It seems somewhat related to the concepts shared on Udemy, but it's obviously better to use the definition provided in the paper itself.
The domain name. I'm pretty sure that's considered property, legally speaking. They will seize it as an asset, for example.

However, it may be that they have a different definition for revoked than I have. That would make me happy.
Go makes you write complex code so that they can be lazy and have a simple compiler.
That's not a good idea. It's an umbrella term that covers a large number of subgroups. Are Google, GoDaddy and Discord happy to ban all Communist related content? I'm not advocating that, and I think this pushes a much larger group to the margin than most people at these organizations think.
It took me a while to realize this is not the DAO from Ethereum, which incidentally, is such a (negatively) loaded name.

Maybe you should consider changing the name, at very list just so you don't get dismissed when reading the title alone in any post, newsletter, w/e.
I own a Citroen DS3 it allows me to plug my iPhone in via usb or aux. I would plug my iPhone in the USB port and the DS3 would say "No Audio File Found". Since I don't use iTunes (I'm a Spotify user), it occurred to me that I might need to put a song into my iTunes library in order for my DS3 to talk to my phone.

Turns out that did the trick.

Every time my car turns on and my iPhone is plugged in, the same song turns on until I load up Spotify and it takes over the audio signal. Sort of frustrating functionality.
I still have my bookmarks.html file I started building in 1995, but almost everything in it has rotted away. It's a shame too because a lot of the stuff in there would still be useful or interesting, but nobody wants to pay even a nominal fee to keep it online.
> This point confuses me; if Rust expects to run on a limited stack, why would it expect to put a ton of data on the stack?

Rust runs on a C stack, while it's not infinite[0] it's a whole other ballpark than a Go stack since it's non-growable (Rust used to use growable stacks before 1.0): the default C stack size is in the megabyte range (8MB virtual on most unices[1]), in Go the initial stack is 2kB (since 1.4, 8k before).

[0] you can set the size to "unlimited", systems will vary in their behaviour there, on my OSX it sets the stack size to 64MB, Linux apparently allows actual unlimited stack sizes but I've no idea how it actually works to provide that

[1] I think libpthread defines its own stack size circa 2MB so 8MB would be the stack of your main thread and 2MB for sub-threads, but I'm not actually sure
I don't.

Thanks, I initially took it to mean soft skills more along the lines of interpersonal relations.
So how much would you pay for a bare-bones, text-only version of the content, if you're going to read JS-decorated content?
So a regulated market is a market and an unregulated market is a...ponzi scheme.

That was a terrible article, by the way. Cyptocurrencies flow in and out of exchanges constantly. If Coinbase makes any sort of guarantee that Bitcoin will go up in price, then what you argue would have merit, and Coinbase should be reprimanded.

As for Strip accepting your coin account- have you ever tried? If you can satisfy all the regulation requirement of being a commodity exchange (AML etc.), they might actually accept your application.

As for utility of a commodity, unless you are a large integrated circuit manufacturer, gold would have no utility as well.
Other than it is shiny and looks nice, gold is useless to everyday live.
Both companies are in the US.

I've been an arch linux user for a very long time. I very much praise the documentation and it always gets me 90% of the way there when trying to solve a problem or configure something. But when I need that extra 10% I can usually find someone on the forums with a similar issue and the solution is usually a huge rabbit hole of links and some are broken, which gets really frustrating because I have to hope that it was cached by archive.org.
You're sorry that you accused me of supporting white supremacy because I disagreed with a point you made?
It's a bit of a special case, but I am huge fan of Kaitai [1] for generating parsers for reading binary data formats. You declaratively describe the format in a YAML-based DSL, and "compile" it into a parser that can target a variety of languages (C++, Java, Python, etc).

> How was that feature supposed to work concerning copyright?

Somewhere between "Better to ask forgiveness than to get permission" and "Fuck it, we'll do it live!"

You know, the usual response to copyright laws on the Internet.

As an addendum, a nontrivial number of people think copyright laws are about plagiarism:

(Copyright laws have nothing to do with plagiarism. Acknowledging whose copyright you violated does nothing to help you. Plagiarizing without directly copying is likely legal.)

As a general comment, I dislike deliberately obtuse writing in papers. In my current work, I came across a very in-depth survey of our industry (sex work). Excellent study, very helpful. But some of the sentences seemed to over-complicate the math. Example:
"Consider the set P {p1, p2, ... pN} representing providers and the set C {c1, c2, ... cN} representing customers". I am pretty sure this kind of stuff is filler or pretends to make things look more rigorous than they are.

On the other hand, maybe spending more than a line explaining what the birthday paradox is should be cut out and put in a backgrounder paper or appendix so that the paper can focus on the actual novel ideas.
You didn't address it and I think there is merit to the point being made about your "bedside manner". I agree with your viewpoint, but it is important to tread carefully when it comes to the lives of others. Your point can be lost not by lack of merit but by lack of semantics.
Honest question, if you just ran the video in reverse, could anyone tell that it was not an actual rebuild? It is stop motion after all, in a sense there is no motion but just captured moments in time, and those moments can be reversed.
Refusing to help means not giving them a platform. They've been reduced to the 21st century equivalent of an underground newspaper produced out of someone's basement. I fail to see the problem.

If I act like a complete jackass and no one wants to sell me a house, society wouldn't be "covering me up". They'd just be refusing to associate with me, as is the right of every individual.

Why do you think healthier Africans would cause mass societal disruption in Europe? Do you think they're not capable of contributing to European society? Are they more likely to leave Africa if they don't have malaria? Is there no room for population expansion in Africa?

I genuinely don't understand the premise of your questions. Why would people start leaving Africa, and why would it be a problem if they did?

From my understanding of the terminology, it means that the registry (Verisign) took away control of the domain from the registrar (first GoDaddy, then Google), since those informed the registry that their contract with the site operator (which formed the legal basis for GoDaddy/Google managing the domain) has ended.
The funding implies a requirement that you will work on research, which for most people would preclude working a full-time software engineering job. Assuming a full-time job would bring in more income than the tuition plus stipend, when we take opportunity cost into account, pursuing the OMSCS while working full time still is financially less expensive.
What problem does this solve? Isn't the point of code review just to see all changes?

An impressive feat. Mind sharing them?

And again, direct support - not "mating practices of birds" or "fetal hormone influence and autism" or other none sense.

And also not links to Business Insider articles, Wikipedia articles, blogs, Amazon, or anything of the sort.

You are aware you can't just make stuff up when I've read the article and examined its links right?

You don't see how quoting a person, and then playing free association with their words to conclude they're some kind of crypto fascist fog Whistler is kind of ridiculous?

Yes, exactly this! Sometimes on my drive home I think it's not such a good idea to be behind the wheel.

It's usually a combination of long days of coding and stress that causes my brain fog. The same factors cause me to regularly wake up at 3a.m. with my mind too busy to go back to sleep.
Good question! Accuracy of themes is subjective. We run several studies where we used opinions of several people on what the themes should be and then compared the overlap between people with the overlap Thematic has with each of them. This is also referred to as "indexing consistency" in Information Science.

You can check specific examples in our white paper: http://www.getthematic.com/net-promoter-score-verbatims/
(Don't need to download it, the bulk of the results is published on the page.)

In practice, some customers have read samples of responses and expect certain themes. Others have manually tagged them in the past. They compare their results with their fundings and can see straight away if our results are accurate and reliable.
I can't even find my own tweets sometimes. We're so screwed.
There are apparently plenty of IT professionals who only know how to Google and copy/paste commands into a shell. The second that the process deviates from the script they're stumped.

This also assumes their stated goal, a more gender diverse workforce, is actually their goal. I have a feeling their actual goal is more likely avoiding controversy and having employees be as "happy" as possible. If one forgets (as I always do) that when dealing with human beings, perception is reality, you might not realize that that is realistically about the most pragmatic approach you can take with this sort of policy.

And this memo certainly works against both of those goals.
There are 3 levels:

1. Surface web: public facing websites that can be found on google. Think public parks that are accessible to anyone.

2. Deep web: websites that require log ins because they have private content. Think of your home which requires a key to get in, or your office which requires you to scan an ID badge to get in.

3. Dark web: websites that are only accessible using special tools like Tor and the Onion Browser. Like Batman's secret layer, the Bat Cave.

>They treated qualified high school girls the way schools with big highly rated athletics programs treat star high school athletes. They would identify prospects, and then put a lot of effort into convincing them they wanted to come to Caltech.

Shouldn't motivation count? Shouldn't liking something, wanting something count? Would you do a good job if you don't like your job, think it was sold to you? Or, would you do a good job because you can't wait to go to job every morning?

Isn't what you say exactly what Damore's claim is? It's not like Caltech was rejecting women, but that women were not chasing education at Caltech. It was their decision, their choice to not go to Caltech. They were making choices on their own that had impact on how numbers at Caltech panned out. It's good to advertise to new potential candidates to join the college.

Has anyone spoken to women who joined Caltech only because of the hard sell that they did, later to drop out and do something else?

Why can't we trust women to make the decision about their career?

Amazon hired someone from car manufacturing to build the data centers. https://www.wired.com/2013/02/james-hamilton-amazon/ I can get behind that completely, it makes sense. Google wanting more of certain gender doesn't make sense to me.

How to Fail on Product Hunt
It's very hard for people to fathom this, but there is a level of wealth where it is rational to blow most of your money and set aside only a small percentage for your loved ones. If Bill Gates blows 99.999% of his wealth, his kids still get 9 million dollars inheritance!
Humans are a pathetically inefficient motor; Gasoline engines are around 30% efficient and battery-electric drivetrains are more than 90% efficient. A bicycle looks efficient because that inefficient motor is also pathetically low in power - a typical recreational cyclist can only sustain about 120 watts of output.

The leading vehicles in the Shell Eco-marathon routinely exceed 10,000 MPGe. PAC-Car II is the current world record holder, achieving 12,600 MPGe on hydrogen fuel.

Photovoltaic cells are also astonishingly more efficient than photosynthesis. The theoretical maximum efficiency of photosynthesis is ~11%, but most plants only achieve 3-6% efficiency. The leading commercially-available PV panels achieve ~22% efficiency and prototype concentrator PV cells have achieved over 46% efficiency.
Tesla is very popular here in Austin and I'm seriously considering buying one myself. There are a couple on my small street of just a dozen houses. However, the Tesla would only be for use in the city and I would still plan on having a second car for driving around the state.

Texas has, I think around 16 Superchargers; that's one Supercharger for every 1.7 million people in the state, about a thousand times less than the number of gas stations. There are extremely large portions of the state without Superchargers and inter-city driving wouldn't really be practical. Even in a gasoline powered vehicle the distances between stations can be over 100 miles (I'm thinking of the highway that crosses the King Ranch, but that's not the only long stretch).

If the service is still running then the added cost of hosting legacy content is near zero. Assuming the site wasn't full of bandwidth hogging live video or anything like that the cost of storage and hosting are almost zero.

Agreed, bias would and does plague us in every field. We can however strive to reduce its influence by being conscious of the bias in our decisions specific to the task.
However to completely give up the evaluation on the candidate's aptitude for performance and resort to hiring the remaining women candidates to fill up a quota simply cause the recruiters might've missed some excellent women candidates cause of some sexist bias is analogous to pouring oil on the bonfire.
The resulting overall performance of the hired candidates 'may' be worse than if bias was allowed to operate unchecked.
Instead one slightly better solution (within the quota system) would be to address this at the grassroots, instantiate more programs/workshops that cater to women candidates during their academic time-period allowing them to showcase their skills and learn how the company wants them to be.
At least this way you've the option of choosing from a much larger pool of women candidates thereby increasing the probability of not missing out the better women candidates.
The results would also speak for themselves for other future employers who're looking to recruit women candidates for a similar job profile.
Would be interesting to know if some these snafus actually turned out to be disasters.

Yes, it's certainly moment of embarrassment for the PR crew, but it might be that public forgets the actual thing and the brand just got visibility.
Subthemes are basically more specific versions of the themes. Check out an example on our Twitch demo: https://demo-twitch.getthematic.com/#!/demo/main/dashboard/2...

Ask HN: How to stop competitiveness within the Dev world?
I've been trying to understand why developers are so rude and arrogant these days. After looking at a lot of possible causes, it seems that competitiveness is one of the major keys. It feels like comparing sizes at school, you will never get a clap from a colleague when you say something right and relevant, only your weaknesses are highlighted and the list goes on.

How could we prevent competitiveness within the Dev world? Our lives could be so much better if we were all team players.
Seconded. Non-cognitive has a pretty clear intuitive meaning so to then define term to mean almost the polar opposite doesn't make any sense to me.

>linear congruential random number generator (well known, but not very good)

Relevant quotes from the paper:

"But if you began reading the section with the belief that “linear congruential generators are bad” (a fairly widely-held belief amongst people who know a little about random number generation), you may have been surprised by how well they performed. We’ve seen that they are fast, fairly space efficient, and at larger sizes even make it through statistical tests that take down other purportedly better generators. And that’s without an improving step."

and

"Despite their flaws, LCGs have endured as one of the most widely used random- number generation schemes, with good reason. They are fast, easy to implement, and fairly space efficient. As we saw in Section 3.3, despite poor performance at small bit sizes, they continue to improve as we add bits to their state, and at larger bit sizes, they pass stringent statistical tests (provided that we discard the low-order bits), actually outperforming many more-complex generators. And in a surprise upset, they can even rival the Mersenne Twister at its principle claims to fame, long period and equidistribution."

"Nevertheless, there is much room for improvement. From the empirical evidence we saw in Section 3.3 (and the much more thorough treatment of L’Ecuyer & Simard [28], who observe that LCGs are only free of birthday-test issues if n < 16p1/3, where n is the number of numbers used and p is the period), we can surmise that we may observe statistical flaws in a 128-bit LCG after reading fewer than 247 numbers (which is more than BigCrush consumes but nevertheless isn’t that many—an algorithm could plausibly use one number per nanosecond and 247 nanoseconds is less than two days)."
