I still get recruiters randomly messaging me. However they're all looking for someone to move laterally, not up. This wasn't the case when I was more junior. Much like salary I find myself wondering if there isn't a limit to finding new opportunities without networking.
The very specialized things that ASR, NLP, and Image recognition can currently accomplish is very nearly sufficient for creation of lots of autonomous and devastating weaponry. WW-III is a somewhat arbitrary yardstick, but sufficient technology undoubtedly exists today to execute a false-flag hacking debacle that results in serious armed conflict.

The worry shouldn't be generalized AI attempting to exterminate humans like The Matrix but the drastically decreasing dollar cost of causing violent damage to society as facilitated by technology, ANNs and AI. An individuals' martial power and our species' technological advancement have a direct relationship, and I don't see technological advancement slowing down. What's coming up next isn't a singular technology revelation that stabilizes humanity for many years, but an ever-increasing frequency of chaotic events. Technology is beginning to change the economics of violence at all scales.
Okay, so you want to opt out of all google services and data harvesting.

In addition to replacing chrome, search, and gmail, drive, maps, calendar, youtube, allo, duo, keep, hangouts, etc, etc you must also:

- Never send/receive email to/from anyone else with a gmail address. You're still providing your data even if this one won't affect you directly.

- Block third-party tracking on websites and advertisements which are basically everywhere now, or somehow avoid the websites with tracking. That's assuming this is even possible, and remains possible. Yes there's uMatrix/uBlock et al, but there's also Admiral and Instart Logic et al, and no way to confirm that the measures you're taking are working.

- Settle for alternative services with different and/or inferior experiences. This is hard even if the alternatives are perfectly usable and of comparable quality. Google wins because it has stuff that is more convenient than the alternatives, and usually better quality.

- Don't use Android, the mobile OS with something like 80-90% market share which also happens to be the lowest cost option for a decent smartphone. Oh, you use a ROM without play services? Captive portal detection still contacts a google server to check for internet access and I don't know if there's other stuff like that baked in.

- Know enough to question your trust in google in the first place.

So through a buttload of effort and some domain specific knowledge you can exercise some percentage (probably less than 100%) of your wallet vote which was worth 3/10ths of nothing to begin with. You have to be a tech-savvy idealist to go through with it, and that demographic is never going to be big enough to force a massive corporation to self regulate against their own best interests.
I think we found the website of the "alt-left"
I don't mean to nitpick, but if you don't think the "alt-right" should be labeled as such then maybe you shouldn't use it in your vocabulary, as it only strengthens the presence of the word in our society regardless of if you say "so-called" before it.
No. The BSD+Patents license says that Facebook grants you a license to not only the software, but any potential patents they might have around React. _If_ you were to sue Facebook for something patent-related _first_, then you would lose the patents protection, but not the license to actually use the React software. Facebook has already granted you the license to use React in general, and can't/won't just "revoke access if they want".

And you would have been wrong. Unless the NDA was nontradirioanlly drafted, this is still an agent of Google's telling an agent of Forbes confidential information. (This is why it is important to consult with lawyers when such contracts are involved.)

I agree, however, that much of the blame rests with Forbes' lack of internal controls.

My dad was a middle class landlord. He bought the duplex we lived in and rented out the other side and eventually moved into a better place and rented both sides. People move out. People become delinquent and have to be evicted. If you can't handle unexpected periods without rental income then you've blundered into the business of owning rental property. He had all kinds of problems and periods without rent coming in. He always found a way to keep in the black with the bank.

I highly recommend Write Yourself a Scheme [0]. It is self-contained; besides knowing Haskell (and perhaps Scheme), it doesn't expect you to know anything about writing compilers.

While I'm here, does anyone know of any practical resources on how to implement LLVM languages with GC? The documentation [1] leaves something to be desired.

Yes definitely. Although you could build a new image based off of the original one, add a bash script that sets it all up for you and overwrite the entrypoint i never like that sollution. It should be something that the software supports out of the box as it plays into one of the strengths of docker, easily spinning up and taking down instances.

I think this is bordering on a no true Scottsman argument, although maybe unintentionally. But whether that's true or not, I think lots of people take it as a euphemism for failure.
I can't agree with this more. I hated math as a kid, I could learn the concepts very quickly but was prone to silly errors. So I'd fail many tests and I thought I was bad at math and shouldn't bother with it. Later doing an Engineering degree I found out math was this amazing tool that could help you model systems and do amazing things. The practice I got while solving interesting problems helped me learn to stop making silly errors. It wasn't that I was bad at math it was that I wasn't interested enough to focus. I just couldn't figure out why this wasn't the way math was taught at high school?

Only the first couple chapters deal with lexing and parsing. The Dragon book covers a lot more than just the syntax analysis: semantic analysis, type checking, run time environment design, intermediate language design, code generation, code optimization, and more. It doesn't have the newer stuff like JIT or Hindley–Milner type system, but those can be picked up separately with reading the papers.

OP asks for resource to build a language. The Dragon book is a very good book to cover the whole process.

The electorate is much better educated today than it was 50 or 100 years ago.

It was common to drop out in 8th grade when my grandparents were kids. In their parents time dropping out at 5th grade was common. Do you think farming better prepares you to elect competent candidates than public education?

Average performance on IQ tests has steadily increased since we've measured it.

There is no objective measurement that would lead to the conclusion that we are less educated today.

What are the pros and cons between artificial grass and natural grass?
A very important factor that affects flawless residences is the maintenance of natural grass, because their colors easily fade under sunshine. In such case, try to pay more attention to artificial lawn, which could possibly be what you’re searching for.
Very low Maintenance
Once you have artificial grass installed, weeding can also be one of the activities you can leave behind. This provides you a lot savings in funds and efforts. You can liberate from the stopless work once required by natural grass. With artificial grass, you just need a vacuum and occasionally clean the lawn.
Major Saving
Documents earlier mentioned are one of the positive aspects you will get from the installation of synthetic grass. Besides, one of the biggest stuff you begin saving is water. In daily life, natural lawn requires considerable amount of water. Synthetic grass implies you do not need water to keep your garden green. Meanwhile, you can also save a lot time to do other things.
Several other Pros of synthetic grass
In addition to the very low maintenance, along with the major price savings, synthetic grass has other positive aspects. First, it can be natural along the full season. No matter what weather is like, irrespective of the conditions, you could have a natural backyard garden. You may have one green garden that looks all natural all year round.
What’s more, with your artificial lawn, your house members could prevent themselves from allergies caused by insects or chemicals in natural grass.

I'm surprised he is surprised. Everybody knew Solaris was dead. I'm more surprised Oracle still had so many engineers working on it. I guess they where waiting out some SLAs.

Of course Oracle is a horrible company and all but Solaris has been dead for a long time.
It's amazing how much this cultural conditioning can affect one's aptitude towards math. When I used to help my brother with his maths, he would oftentimes complain about not being smart enough. Shortly after, he would give up on the problem and come up with a rudimentary solution just to have an output. On these occasions, I'd prod him to solve the problem, ask him about his approach, probe his mental process, and most of the time, he'd tell me the correct steps to solve the problem. Had he not given up sooner, he would've succeeded.

I think that an interest in maths, is the fuel to help one cross from problems to solutions. With how mathematics is taught nowadays, mechanical rather than analytical, I can imagine how easy it is for kids to develop a negative sentiment towards math especially when they get dozens of rote problems every day.

The guy has deliberately changed a default setting (sql_mode) to make MariaDB/MySQL look worse. When someone pointed that out in the comments, he left it unresponded. Which is already telling something about PostgreSQL evangelism.

Speaking of comparing MySQL and PostgreSQL functionality, I've been spending some time recently on this very topic. Both are great databases with interesting and sometimes unique features. Here are some of the features PostgreSQL is missing as compared to MySQL:

- synchronous multi-master cluster (Galera, Group Replication)

- distributed in-memory grid with automatic sharding (NDB)

- semi-synchronous replication (will be available in PostgreSQL 10)

- built-in logical replication (will be available in PostgreSQL 10)

- built-in event scheduler

- clustered indexes

- declarative partitioning (limited functionality will be available in PostgreSQL 10)

- optimizer hints

- optimizer tracing

- efficient MVCC implementation that is unaffected by XID wraparound problems and VACUUM issues (see also Uber's report on moving from PostgreSQL to MySQL)

- page-level compression

- page-level encryption

- page-level incremental backups

- user variables

- NoSQL client APIs (HandlerSocket, memcached protocol, X protocol)

- virtual columns

- ability to choose data page size on database creation

- ability to specify column order when adding a new column with ALTER TABLE

- write-optimized storage engines similar to MyRocks and TokuDB

All of that may seem small from a developer's standpoint. Those things, however, are huge for people who design and operate the busiest websites on the internet. Which is probably why MySQL still shines in that field.
Are you the only company offering solutions? If so you can probably get away with it, but if not then it's not just 20 minutes it's 20m * n companies. 20 minutes is generous too, if your website is vague and your sales guys are clueless then it's much more than 20 minutes.

If even one of the competitors has a sticker price and publicly available documentation then I'd be evaluating them closely before even considering you.
Author of the book here. Thanks for the shout out! I'm happy to hear that you appreciate the book exactly in the way it was intended to - little magic, lots of code and unit tests.

I'm also super curious about your "not in an idiomatic way" comment. If you have a minute, feel free to send me a longer version - me at thorstenball.com. I'd really love to hear what you'd do differently and what could be more idiomatic.
I'm sure spammers apply same logic.
You're thinking good thoughts as far as being aware of the various effects that software design will have on community. Hacker News, for example, restricts certain actions (like downvoting) until you've crossed a certain participation threshold. Other sites disallow downvoting entirely. Some sites don't allow images or links. Others do. Some require a few bucks payment to join. There are all sorts of technical tricks to help tune a community.

But there's also just non-technical stuff. Which I would argue is actually more important, since any piece of social software can be perverted if a certain subset of users is determined. A non-technical example: setting community norms. Hacker News also does this reasonably well -- the community doesn't respond well to goofy memes, for example. This isn't something you read in the rule book, it's something you experience by reading comments and feeling out the tone of the conversation. And if you do post something that doesn't fit the community, you'll pick up a few downvotes or some-such. Most users understand the nature of the community so it self-polices relatively well (with a little help from moderators). I think large open communities (Twitter, Reddit) that need to maintain a ton of traffic to make money have trouble with this: It's tough to want to service the community needs of the entire planet and tell people "Behavior X isn't something that's appropriate here."

I'm not an expert and before you tear me a new one, remember that this is a Hacker News comment and not a peer reviewed journal article. I'm just tossing out some thoughts.

But my belief is that designing for communities is actually quite a challenge, and the fact of the matter is most people putting communities up online right now don't really put much thought into it. Which is a shame. It allows a small subset of toxic users to really damage what should be a good thing for the rest of us.

Back in the days of yore -- late 90s through 2006-ish -- community design was actually a pretty hotly debated topic. But, like I said, it really seems like these days old fashioned comment threads (like you see on news articles), Facebook, Reddit, and Twitter have established themselves as the blueprint for community design and people just sort of copy those without thinking about how they do and don't work. And then online communities become toxic and some people assume all online communities are toxic and then some people start thinking all people are toxic and -- hey! Look where we are. (I'm stretching a bit at the end, here, of course. ;-) )

That’s helpful background, thank you. A lot of it makes sense but, hear me out, I don’t believe you’re point on difficulty or definitions has much to do with the the most frustrating parts you mention.

Research is always difficult, in any field. You don’t get a PhD for courses, when you’re expected to have insights that no one ever has had before, that’s just a hard thing. Same with designing research. It’s so difficult and complex across the board people make big mistakes doing it all the time.

Same with the parent problem. Recruiting humans to study is always a huge mine field, medical/psych/sociology/etc. all deal with it.

So what’s different about education? I don’t know your field, but it sounds like things are too tightly (inherently) coupled to public policy controversy, on top on the money thing.

I meant that using up those resources to make an ornate pen is the negative for the world. The use of the word "paying" is just because the person is buying it, not making it themselves.

I should make it concrete with an example. Say someone buys a $4000 pen, which has a 75% profit margin. Those $3000 were not wasted, they just moved from the buyer's bank account to the company owner's bank account, which could use them for anything, including helping the poor.

Meanwhile, the $1000 went to pay for actual resources that were used up, and so in the POV that these pens are useless compared to helping the poor, that's the actual waste.
