I think there are two very helpful skills when it comes to preventing burnout:

1. Being able to know where your limit is

2. Being able to tell your boss were your limit is

Many of us try to be good at their job and are not afraid to give constantly 120% but while focussing on the task at hand we put aside our physical needs. And telling your boss you have enough work for the next days and that any additional tasks will have to wait, is something many people are afraid of. Often they fear to give the impression that they are not enthusiastic about their work.

In my opinion, everbody who tells his boss about his or her capacities cares about the efficiency of the company.
Apple iPhone 8 Price Might Be Less Than $1,000: Analyst – Fortune.com
In Finland each child gets a yellow cap when they start school around age 7. They are expected to be making their own way to school, and this cap makes it easier for other road and public transport users to spot them and assist them if necessary.
Right, that was my instinct, it is just that the documentation I have seen, including the O'Reilley bitcoin manual, on the coinbase transaction, glosses over this point.

This is the best explanation I've seen so far: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/10050/how-balanc...
I'd argue more, according to your definitions, the "fundamental value" of the dollar (which you conveniently didn't specify) relies on violence (as in, pay up of guys with guns will put you in prison). Whereas the fundamental value of Bitcoin is determined by the free market.

It's quite clear to me which one is a more moral system.

Again, based on your own definitions.
Sorry to be a pedant, but the singular form is phenomenon. Phenomena is the plural.
Two comments:

1. First and foremost, go Olin College! It sounds like a really special place where liberal arts and engineering are valued. I wish more colleges followed this model.

2. It's not very surprising and likely a statistical quirk that their per capita founding rate is so high. After reading this piece on why the highest and lowest cancer rates by county in the US are in rural counties, I am seeing this statistical phenomenon everywhere: https://books.google.com/books?id=JRueDgAAQBAJ&pg=PA14&lpg=P...
What about over-stretching a expansionist movement as a counter strategy does not make sense?

Europe has grown hard, not smart. It never evaluated what it integrated, and as a result, is more unstable then ever.
I think you have a valid point, but, ultimately aren't all or most trades digital today?

Are countries exchanging actual loads of gold and/or cash around? If the answer is no, then isn't it all just data on a hard-drive?

In that case damaging internet links will have the same effect all around, though information can probably still go in/out in different ways with some effort. Is there some aspect of crypto currency that makes it different (honest question)?
Go to JFK international arrivals and ask immigrants why did they come.

I guarantee you would get hundreds of reasons not just one.

Although they are probably gonna be "simple" reasons.

Maybe something like having the right to waive the Rainbow Flag in front of the Whitehouse in case of Russian immigrants.
I can recommend the Anker vertical mouse as a budget option. I use that at home and a large trackball (Kensington Expert Mouse) at work, with a block of foam under one side so it sits at an angle. I found a small trackball to be more painful than a normal mouse, but the large one is an improvement and I didn't have any trouble adjusting to it. But YMMV.
As per every thread Watson is brought up in, it's mainly a catch-all term for its consulting division. IBM's consultants aren't very good, and the good ones move on to brighter futures.

This is why Watson is a disappointment and every Watson project ends in cost overruns and failure.
We are for sure.

We run a number of physical hosts using SmartOS (only 20 or so, but they're quite big (512GB, quads)) and on top of those we use a mix of KVM and zones (both solaris and lx) for various workloads (around 400 zones/vms).

It's easily been the correct choice for us. YMMV.
Yes! I'm the lead developer for the ground control software for the Mars rovers. The missions are expanding the bounds of human knowledge, and doing my job right means we get more/better science data back from the rovers!

The article does a surprisingly good job of addressing this issue as well:

> What, though, is the value of a digital currency?

> It's a fair question, but one that could equally be leveled at gold. Since Richard Nixon ended the fixed $35 an ounce convertibility of gold in 1971, its value has risen at times (the 1970s, the 2000s) and fallen at others. The best argument to justify investing in gold these days is not that it's an eternal "store of value" but that its very weirdness makes it special: According to modern portfolio theory, you should buy the shiny stuff not for its superior investment returns, but because it doesn't correlate much to other asset classes such as stocks, bonds and commodities.

One can argue about the validity of the "gold is equally worthless" argument, but I was just impressed that the article didn't shy away from these hard questions.
I'm not sure. The return address is printed on the back of an envelope, whereas the sender's email address is prominently displayed at the top of everything you send.

It's a subtle difference, but IMO a relevant one. I think it's closer to writing a letter on the company's stationery, letterhead and all. Particulary since, in my experience, company email accounts normally add a signature with company's contact information and the sender's position in it.
Putting this one on the suggest/visit list for my son, definitely.
> I don't think you understand what nationalism is.

I was misusing the term nationalist in a literary device in order to deliberately mimic your misuse of the word colonialist. I wasn't so condescending as to assume you didn't know what colonialist meant so I assumed its misuse was deliberate too.

> my reply was thoughtful, not pointlessly insulting.

My mistake. It's rare to see colonialist used as a term of endearment.

> sovereign destiny / sovereign rights

I guess this is the meat of the point. See I don't believe that just because someone in temporarily in charge of a country that they should have carte blanche to do whatever they fancy. Now, in the case of the Coptic monasteries in the Sinai, there is no threat from the present government. If, say, the Sinai Insurgency escalated and the monasteries were under threat, it would be entirely appropriate, in my view, to pressure Egypt to do something about it.

I can't envisage a realistic situation where external forces would be appropriate in this case. I do believe that it is both right and proper to care about, and if necessary act for, our fragile collective cultural heritage. If that makes me a colonialist in your eyes then so be it. I've been called worse.
I run Arch on a Dell Precision, which works great for me.
Working in public health research, absolutely.

I don't save lives myself, but I help collect the data that's used to do so.
Same deal for me. Although I'm likely moving back to Linux for work once this Macbook bites the dust.
Well, perhaps ...

1. There is more opportunity for Stanford students to pursue graduate degrees, leading many to forgo the entrepreneurial route

2. Stanford students receive better job offers upon graduation, leading many to forgo the entrepreneurial route

3. Stanford attracts more international students who come from countries less encouraging of entrepreneurship

Regarding the first two, I could probably think of 10 more positive reasons the numbers might be what they are. What's perceived as a positive for Olin may actually be due to an inarguably positive thing for Stanford
Not yet in the making, but surely something that will happen down the line.
So what does that say about the wisdom of port scanning a machine your life is currently depending on?
Perhaps the larger percentage of founders has more to do with the substantially smaller student body and shorter track record of the university. Daniel Kahneman touches on this phenomenon in "Thinking Fast and Slow".
Just a warning: The Google book PDF is Adobe DRM'ed. Which puts a bit of a bumper on downloading it on Linux.
I think AR and VR have incredible educational potential, but I don't know that it will do anything to decrease screen addiction in children. It will likely only increase it.
I've no experience w/ Riak what so ever but years ago I was contacted by hh for an open position at Basho. They where looking for field support engineer to a local gaming company. They would hire me and put me directly to client. Maybe i'd have gotten some training on the Riak, but it was never mentioned during the rounds. All interviews where done remotely. Eventually I did say no to the offer.

Some time later, even the guy who interviewed me was out from Basho.

Idk, whole process just fell very weird.
Go to hacker way
There's a bigger issue at hand here. AI generally has not made huge inroads into disease treatment. I think this is because we haven't figured out a good way to describe the diseases. Where it does work, we have a good way to classify the data (i.e. a set of training images or clear metrics to feed it). As Google/Verily learned the hard way, its not easy to fit digital models to organic beings.

In the area of cancer treatment, my guess is that the reason specialists are highly paid/trained is because the analysis and judgement required is highly manual and varied. Surgical intervention, prescription medications, targeted radiation treatment machines, patient psychology and counseling. Other than maybe guessing the prescription based on symptom list, what could the AI profitably help with?
It's still a huge issue, given that even if you have insurance, out of pocket costs can reach 12k per family before it kicks in to 100%. Healthcare is about to be 1/5 of the U.S. economy (compared to ~10-12% elsewhere)
> The minute you start two db transactions within one script you have eventual consistency.

You may also have two independent items of information that have no consistency relationship or requirements.

That's why eventual consistency "works" so "well" with NoSQL: because there's an overlap between using NoSQL databases and not requiring actual consistency.
> If the US would take a similar approach, maybe people wouldn't feel the need to fake service animal status.

We don't all like having animals in every public place. They are still animals.
So I'm 31, and I've had what you describe on-and-off for a long time. However, I don't have it for things I actually enjoy doing (e.g. solving some puzzle, playing a video game, helping a person, articulating how political systems would need to change to drive progress)

For myself, I always blamed the system. The fact is, I don't think it's fair to take a primate, put it in front of a screen all day, and expect it to want to type constantly and drag jira tickets. At least not this primate.

A lot of the time my job has felt like defusing my manager's daddy issues rather than improving the world. And I think surrendering to the idea that that was inevitable was crushing to me. So I quit.

Once I realized the world wouldn't collapse if I broke out of the system (e.g. you could quit, you could move to malaysia and coast, etc etc) I realized this was prison was entirely in my head. I realized most rich people I knew weren't really happy, and most jobs are dysfunctional wealth-making machines for those at the top.

Right now, I'm researching whether there is a possible connection between environmental chemicals and the skyrocketing illnesses (ADD, allergies, asthma, etc) for a youtube channel. Will I go back to work? Not sure.

But I've decided, if push comes to shove, I'd rather be poor than surrender to feeling like a pawn in a system I do not respect.
Automatization is one of the best contribution to society that can exit, i can't wait to live in a world where we all acknowledge that not everyone needs to work and we can focus on really important things like NOT reinventing the wheel and spend life on useless jobs.

That is at least if everything (or almost) goes as planned and things like universal income become a reality.

Also, i thought everyone from hackernews thought this.
Are those objects in the queries and queues separate and distinct types then? And, what about the object store, what types go in there? How do we handle data migrations?

I like queues as much as the next developer. Queues let you scale performance Mt Everest and deal with concurrency.

CQRS as an architecture is like queue abuse.

Hence our dilemma.
Fair enough. I was obviously reading the above as having a polynomial time as having an efficient time one. Where efficient was shorthand for "quick." Both leaps, I concede were misguided.

Haha, you think that's bad?!?! You are moving society forwards enabling faster and faster technological growth. I, however, make software for market speculators. The greater good doesn't even know I exist.
Bitcoin is global. If you want to be sure your transaction is on the longest chain you can just wait for more confirmations. You could even receive confirmations over satellite now.

> I guess my point is: be careful, this is still very much experimental, don't invest everything you have in them.

Also experimental: Central banking and fiat currency. The lifetime of these non-crypto backed coins isn't that great either. Also they tend to be devalued in times of war. Not sure I'd want to be holding onto paper money.
I'm going to go against the stream an say -1 on "Designing for Scalability". Not that it isn't a good book, but the title doesn't really reflect the contents. It's more of a beginners book on Erlang/OTP than of scalability.
Iota uses a "tangle" instead of a block chain
Testing foundation is great but that is not at all what the current interviewing system does. It hides foundation in trick questions that require you to have a moment of insight that fires off a light bulb that you can then use your foundation to solve.

For example why cant they just ask. Ok givin an array find all the pairs of the array. Great now whats the big O of that. Great...

Instead they ask some trick question that disguises the fact that you should solve this problem by finding all pairs etc.
I think either the company name or product line should be "SmartAss". Lots of good bad marketing opportunities that way.
For languages/environments where REPL is not available, it can be helpful to create a setup where you get an almost instantaneous feedback from your changes. Nothing kills flow like having to wait 10 seconds every time you change a line of code and want to see the result.

For the parent poster: I think a good way to tackle learning new stuff is to break it do it in small increments at a time. Ex. if learning graphics programming, start with trying to open up a blank open gl window, then try displaying a single triangle etc. If the tasks proves to be more complex or requires going on a tangent, break that down into goals as well. The point is to always have something on your plate that is small-ish and feels achievable.
There is nothing to play with or try out, just the opportunity to provide an email on the plans and pricing page. I think getting a buggy half-baked implementation online would be more productive than assembling a pricing page and harvesting emails because a buggy half-baked implementation might create actual users and a providing an email does not make a person a user.

Unfortunately, there's nothing else to give feedback about.

Good luck.
>Bitcoin is a serious threat to that because unlike gold, it is orders of magnitude more difficult for governments to confiscate and control.

Nonsense. Nothing stops China from seizing all of the largest bitcoin mining operations tomorrow, and building some additional miners to conduct a 51% attack. They would then effectively control the network. Bitcoin is actually easier to control than fiat currency or gold because it requires network access.
Is Amazonification Real?
No, I'm not, but that's, to be rather frank, a stupid fucking reason not to try. :)
I think it should be noted here that this only ranks garbage hands and flushes. Quad 2's is certainly worth more than 3 Ace's yet 2^4 < 41^3.

Edit: I missed

>>> rank them against each other in a lookup table

I'm just confused about the prime factors thing now. Why not just hash the hand itself? "3459To" where o stands for off suit?
You don't get to decide how it'll shape up; public choice and markets don't work like that. The decision to mandate licensure unleashes forces that very often lead to the kinds of problems that I described above.

Unless you have a very good reason why it won't in this case, you're just playing with fire.
Having children impacts your career (assuming you make choices with them in mind) because suddenly, long hours are less appealing, you can't put all your energy and time into your job, and a job you can hang onto for 5-10 years is more appealing (moving a lot with young children is a royal PIA).

Regarding job safety when you can get another right away: Finding and getting another job is stressful. You have to acclimate to a new environment. You probably have to learn or relearn some skill. So while doing this once every 2-4 years is fine, every couple of months or even once a year is disruptive.
I struggle with this.

I work for a company which is owned by a big health insurance company and we make consumer-facing applications. Our products have a varying degree of public benefit from online insurance open enrollment (turbotax for benefits) to provider transparency (find doctors and see how much common services cost).

In general, I'm glad I'm working on improving consumer experience in one of the more stressful human experiences, but I know at the end of the day, I'm still improving the bottom line of a huge company and enabling the propagation of a broken system.

Having things like Juicero exist gives me a little bit of relative ethical reprieve: "at least I'm not wasting a ton of money to make an elitist, wasteful food fad product".
At one of the companies I worked at, years ago, a service discovery system I wrote did a very light scan of every listening port bound on every system. One thing it did was an HTTP GET.

One of the core apps had a control port that implemented HTTP. Unfortunately, my GET hit a route that didn't exist, and that caused a small memory leak every time.

Nothing too bad happened; the leak was slow, and even though the app stayed up many months at a time, we did notice the leak and figured out what was causing it.

As others have stated elsewhere, I've seen completely 'easy going' TCP connections to embedded devices cause immediate crashes.
As an example of C++ making code reuse a lot easier, consider the Windows platform from a developer's perspective. Before C++, there was this huge library called Win32 in C that contained several hundred functions and data structures to access the services of the platform. Since it was not object oriented, there was a fat book by Charles Petzold, which was like a Bible for windows programmers that described how each of the functions related to each other, in what sequence to call them and a bunch of stuff that was not even documented by Microsoft.
Once C++ came, there was a library called MFC which was object oriented and hence a lot better documented and organised and now there's .NET.

The organization of functions into objects makes it a lot easier to understand systems software specially if it's very large. Also the ability to subclass means you can take the base functionality of "template" classes provided by a library and subclass them to extend them with what you need. This was not as easy with C where you had to rely on sample code for this purpose. The Petzold book had a ton of sample code.
Agreed - for an article in MSM, I was surprised it wasn't completely terrible!

But I'm tired of the BS line that "gold has no value" continues to be repeated as nauseam. If people value it, then it has value. If people don't, then it doesn't. End of story. Things don't have value because some Minister of Value makes a proclamation about what has value and what doesn't (USSR tried that, didn't work!)
Good to hear you found a solution for your problem. Generally I find it good to hear that you had to find a solution to it. That is where I am trying to step in :) and I hope being 10X better than Gmail-filters is possible
This stuff is hard and we're all still figuring it out. Just recently we realized we built a monolith because we weren't paying enough attention to whether all the features should be a part of a single system. We're going to revisit that.

Don't look at your function as an app, it's an function and the best functions do a single thing. The definition of a single thing depends on the scale of view you're taking. But that may help you to realize your functions shouldn't be very complex and possibly small enough to test more easily.

However, that results in increased system complexity as you start adding SNS topics, SQS queues, DynamoDB tables, and all sorts of event triggers. Something I've adopted is using draw.io (others use Lucid Chart) to draw out the system logic. Maybe this helps?

Maybe this makes the confusion worse?
He probably should've done his port scan once the plane was on the ground. Though I'd be REALLY worried if there was even the slightest risk of network access to the IFE causing a flight control device of any kind to seize up, and would hope that someone at Boeing made sure that was not possible.
Dealing with eventual consistency adds a lot of mental complexity to almost every feature. It turns a simple rule like "Do not allow registering an username if that username has already been registered" into an entire rulebook on what should happen if a username is registered twice. It even forces you to deal with the obvious "Once a gizmo is created, it should appear in the list of gizmos". Every part of your code becomes a potential race condition that you have to detect and handle appropriately.

You can't get rid of eventual consistency, obviously, but you can set up your system so that your code expresses rules and features in an "immediately" consistent abstraction, and the system then translates those rules and features into the eventually consistent world, by applying tactics and techniques that you would have otherwise applied manually. It's a really natural approach for programmers: automate the translation from immediate to eventual, instead of doing it yourself every time.

Of course, most of these tactics come at a cost, either of performance (we won't acknowledge the creation of a gizmo until we've propagated that creation to every server capable of rendering the list of gizmos) or of availability (the registration of your username can't be acknowledged unless the persistent consensus reflects that you're the only one who registered it). But that's fine: most of these things aren't critical enough to make it worth dealing with eventual consistency manually, and when they do become critical, it's time to go down a level of abstraction and apply immediate-to-eventual translation tactics that rely on additional assumptions about what you're doing in order to improve performance or availability.
Sent you a note, thanks for the reply.
