When you hire someone you say that the person you hire is the best person available at that time for that role. Otherwise you hire the other person you think is best.
There is another alternative which is the moneyball approach [1]. Identify those people overlooked because they don’t meet the current fashionable ideal and hire on the basis of what they can actually produce.

I might miss something in that article, but this 15-30% performance increase when pitting a dual core against a quad core is pretty bad. I don't see the mention of single thread performance. It talks about overall benchmark performance.
No, you are right, sorry.

I thought it removed the grant for a broader range of FB patents, but I see now that isn't the case.
> person who is harassed

Depends on if you mean objective, or subjective harassment. Offense could be described as the latter. The power comes from being able to provide the latter, and it being treated as the former.
No mention of Clojure? In the comments the author says that since it was a functional JVM language, he never considered it. OK.

Well, it attempts to be utilitarian. However, there are routinely articles on HN, from the perspective of the prospect and the company, about how much of a crapshoot interviewing for coding is.

I think one aspect is income equality during the 1950s:

Especially these graphs:

And during this time, the GDP growth rate was great:

Of course the average worker would be less stressed, have more time for communal activity, as well as rotate A LOT more money back into the economy compared with money sitting still on top.

I'd argue it's not about "in tech" though, as another commenter pointed out, this is a completely different world of private jets and deciding where to spend the hundreds of millions these people have on, betting on their 10 million investment becoming a billion. This is the "snorting coke off a model's ass for lunch" world, not tech.
ECC is working with AMD if the motherboard supports it, but you can't always be sure that the motherboard does support it correctly. You need to rely on user reports/what the motherboard producer promises, instead of it being a default feature that always works.

Still a lot more than what Intel offers in that space.
The issue is that people who prefer open offices can make use of open areas, while people who need closed spaces actually need them in order to work.

One is a preference, the other is an outright necessity.

You have not mentioned any upsides of open offices for the percentage of the workforce which require isolation. Please, give their needs equal weight and consideration.
However you are forgetting in our court systems evidence can be thrown out because it was not admitted according to the Rules of Civil/Criminal/Appellate Procedures. At that point it isn't about trust or what people feel, it is only about evidence a jury can consider.

It would be akin to having to acquit someone you feel is quite because the state failed to make their case or because the state made their case but screwed up something on a technicality and now you cannot consider that single piece of evidence in deciding which side prevails.

In courts there is proof, evidence and admissible evidence. At the end of the day only the latter matters.
None of what you said counters the comment you're replying to.
OK, this is a very specific point to comment on, but - I'd disagree with you about the computer cables.

I occasionally get annoyed by my Big Box Of Cables: I used to work in digital filmmaking, so I've really got a LOT of cables in there. And it's a pain to have to wrap 'em, store 'em, and periodically cull 'em (I think I can safely chuck out the SVideo cables now...).

But whenever I need a cable whilst working, I can check that box, and after a bit of digging, it's usually in there. 5 minutes lost max.

If I don't have a cable in that box, I either have to go out to buy one - total time loss between 25 min and 2 hours depending on whether I need to journey to Maplin or can just get it locally - or buy from Amazon, which could be a day lost if the task I need the cable for is on the critical path for whatever I'm doing.

Local storage is sometimes more efficient.

(Having said that, I did make one change a while back. Unless I'm really, really sure I will need more, I only ever keep 2 of a specific cable type. At one point the spare cat-5 was threatening to take over the house.)

There's also something to be said about attention and creativity in most coding/tech jobs. I could sit at my desk all day writing marginally efficient code, or I could take a 1-hour break to do something else, come back and write really exceptional code, but most work cultures frown on doing this regularly.

I don't think bridge burning is a privilege only extended to men. Nor do I think that if you had Pao's role, and angrily left reddit, that the community would have given you a pass. Why would they?

Can you prove that the demand for "monolithic frameworks" and that "the community" of such frameworks is bigger than what you call the "outliers"? Composing software from small reusable libraries can hardly be called "theoretical computer science aesthetics".

The obsession with this is that people would like to be able to use their favourite JVM language to write CLI tools, consumer-GUI tools or AWS lambda programs. Sure, you can just say that the JVM is the wrong tool, but that is a somewhat unsatisfying answer because it still doesn't let me write those things in clojure/scala or whatever JVM language.
Ah, interesting. It would be nice to check if the people in this post are actually using React and also if the popularity of React is actually affected by these rants. Also, what about the non-React rule of Apache Foundation?

This is largely to do with subtyping and it's well known that systems with user-defined nominal subtyping don't have good inference. Scala's inference is really in the middle: squarely better than C/Java and much worse than Haskell/OCaml.
I dimly recall we were pitched something about joining the BCS when I was doing my master's - I'm not sure if it was a full presentation or just some pamphlets that were passed around. I don't think any of us joined because it was quite expensive (£139 annually now) and it was supremely unclear what the benefits were.

Since then, I don't believe I've ever heard it mentioned.
Even if a sign is modified, a human will sanity check/ignore it. Currently many machine vision systems would be fooled. Basically in this scenario I think it's likely humans would fail safe.

I think the opposite is true. Russia was among the countries where spreading communist ideas was punished the most. Marx and Engels were free to write in Britain, yet there was never a communist revolution there.
I think "wildly unprofessional behavior" is things like sexually harassing other workers in your company, insulting people, that kind of thing.

The problem here is I think people have different definitions of "wildly unprofessional behavior".

Perhaps this has to do with the increasing heterogeneity of American society. The US probably looked more like Sweden, Denmark and Japan in the past. People may feel more compelled to partake in civil engagement and similar things like helping your neighbors out if you have the same background. At the very least you must trust the members of your community to play fair. Homogeneity comes at a cost but it's definitely useful to be able to assume correctly that you are a reasonable model for other people in your community.
My 2 cents:

- it is not really pertinent to compute the correlation between prices. This takes the currencies trend into account since prices, contrary to e.g. "returns", are non stationary. This will lead to a biased higher correlation. Just do a ".pct_change()" before the correlation.

- also averaging the price between exchanges is a bit naive. It hides arbitrage opportunities and does not reflect the underlying traded volume. A VWAP would at least provide a better approximation.
CAL theorem
I agree with you, to an extent. By the same criteria, some PaaS services could also be considered serverless, but the term does not apply to them.
However, since the term evokes the idea of "less infrastructure to manage" and, consequentially, "lower costs", it works well to draw the attention of executives.
My definition of professionalism is about treating your coworkers and customers with respect and empathy, and doing the work with dedication and craftsmanship.

Appearing at the office at the right time is unnecessary just for appearance's sake, but can be a factor in respecting and empathizing with coworkers, for example to be available for questions. It is usually not that important in the grand scheme of things.
However, investigating every bug report while a worthy cause is something not practical for most shops, especially when the underlying cause for these 'only sometimes and only on my machine' issues is some bizarre bug in some underlying dependency or even windows.

Now fixing these issues can often lead to really lean mean software that flies, but if you're in the all too typical situation of overambitious deadlines then you're already in triage mode and long hard fixes are just about the bottom of the pile
> In tech people get away with wildly unprofessional behavior as long as "they get stuff done", and personally I never felt that was acceptable.

Which is completely false and not based on any facts. Businesses have different policies. You can't reduce all IT in world to a few businesses in the Silicon Valley. That's preposterous. And I doubt IT has anymore "unprofessional behavior" than any other industries. There is absolutely no data that demonstrate that.
What about your current behavior makes you think people will feel the need to constantly tell you to be more professional?

I'm assuming you don't intend to defend mistreating coworkers, so you must think that there is unprofessional behavior that is nonetheless acceptable in the workplace.
At that stage, neither is going from 20 to 40 million.

Look at the Australian Computer Society. You pay hundreds per year and have to jump through thousands of dollars of training and such. For what?! That you meet their standards?? What a joke.

My takeaway is not that videos were the key to popularity but the release of a public demo, something playable instead of promises on kickstarter.
Okay. Well, you should wait for benchmarks. If like in the anandtech article mentioned the clock rate gets decreased, and that would be very normal when adding more cores, then a single thread performance increase is very unlikely. In the last launch Intel did not get close to those numbers, and that was without a core increase.

Also, there seems to be some confusion whether those processors now are a kaby lake refresh or the new coffee lake architecture. The videocardz article mentions Coffee Lake (and some other news articles call those processors that as well), but the anandtech article defines them as a Kaby Lake Refresh. A new architecture would make a single thread performance increase more likely.
I am very happy to hear that top level components now support state :) It's a major pain that is now relieved.

For state management, we have built https://github.com/Portchain/markojs-shared-state. The main problem with this solution is that it's a singleton. Being able to have state at the top level will help in allowing us to pass the state manager to children.

Router wise, maybe it should not be a component's responsibility to know their route but rather the parent's ?

Marko already comes with an elegant way of doing conditional forks in the HTML. This is a huge strength of Marko. What is displayed is defined in the template (.marko files). We currently have input and state defining what needs to be displayed. Adding to these two a `route` object and simple state management is made easy.

This is something we'd be very happy to do as we could use it immediately. However it's not urgent because we route server-side*

eg.

<html>
<body>
<if(route.path === '/about' || route.path === '/about/*' /* matches 'http://www.example.com/about and all subpaths' */)>
<about-content />
</if>
<else>
<home-content />
</else>
</body>
</html>

With each component getting a nested value of the path but also being able to access the whole URL.
For example, in about-content.marko:

<div>
<!-- get the 'nested' path only -->
<if(route.path === '/company' /* matches 'http://www.example.com/about/company' */)>
<div class="company">Lorem ipsum...</div>
</if>
<!-- or access the full path -->
<if(route.fullPath === '/about/career')>
<div>Get hired !</div>
</if>

<!-- being fancy now ! -->
<if(route.path === '/:mySubsection')>
<div>Get hired ${route.params.mySubsection}!</div>
</if>
</div>

```

However, there is probably no need to re-invent the wheel. While I like the idea of embedding routes in the templates, Vue.js approach seem quite sane too: https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/routing.html

I think that's the point. If you look at /r/the_Donald as an example, they believe that all their ideological opponents are paid actors.

This is insidious belief that lets you dismiss different view points as the evil machinations of your favorite villain (Soros and Democrats on one side and Russia on the other).

I think it's much more likely that some people hold different views and express them online. Believing an evil power is hiring people to pretend to disagree with you is probably evidence of unhealthy delusion.
Exactly, because what can be considered serverless can wildly vary, such as:

Google App Engine, Google Big Query
, AWS Lambda, AWS Athena

The name (which is just a marketing term, not technical) just reflects that you don't deal with servers but with services.

Well, given that the majority (more than 80%) of land is used for growing grass, wheat, soybean and corn for cattle there's no fear for vegetables.

Although soy grown for human consumption is not popular now, it's the most efficient legume there is. More protein than a steak.

This went a little bit off topic, although my point was that removing subsidies on food makes things tricky. Given that in some parts of US burger price is halved if not 20% of what it should be due to subsidies on water and corn and soybean etc.

This is simple risk management. The risks are too big that you're paying someone $400/hr without the expected benefits. There's just a too wide margin of error. Pay four people, things even out if and the whole thing just becomes more predictable (and thus easier to manage). Managers are often eager to pay the cost of predictability.
Do you have a citation that suggests a completely US style system is being proposed?

It truly seems non-mature businesses should stop relying on open-source with "baggage" and utilize only free software (AGPL3+) that has dual-licensing for commercial use with support as e.g. in Qt, unless you are 100% sure for your product lifecycle you won't get into direct business collision with the "baggage" author.
What makes the PATENTS file legally binding? If I install React via NPM/Yarn, or even as a dependency of another project, I will not see this file.

LICENSE is a pretty common convention and you could argue I should seek out this file in every one of my dependencies' dependencies - but how would I know to look for PATENTS?

Are all statements in the code base legally binding? Could they be hidden in a source file somewhere?

I agree with you. The question then becomes: if you achieved this level of performance, isn't it better to work for yourself rather than work for somebody who all the time undervalues your performance? Isn't it better in the long run to build a product that might need minimum level of attention once it's done?

I'm a big fan of Stellar. It looks like the only cryptocurrency with an actual use case that works today and minimises costs for companies[1][2] building on top of it.

Flexibility was always our "secret" but even if we have people working remotely we prefer people who work at our offices. Few cabdidates are ready and responsible to work remotely. This is our experience.

So our other flexibility method is time. Most developers work 6 hours per day and that works.
That depends on the model for me, some work good others do not. But I don't know about daily use I've only worn them for two days max.
