I feel desperately burned out every night when I go to sleep at 2am or 3am but when I wake up the next morning at 7am, I feel completely refreshed and I want to keep going.

I think that having an open source side project can be rewarding in that way.

Financially, I'm broke as a camel's back but open source work does give me a sense of satisfaction. At least for now.

I think it's vitally important to have some social recognition for your work otherwise it's very easy to feel burned out.
You would need to first match the asteroid's velocity, and by then you do not really need the asteroid. But something very similar to your idea is used constantly for interplanetary travel - gravity assist which uses other bodies' gravity to accelerate and change direction.
No, that's not showing light reflected from the sun. In the still image, the radar source (aka Earth) is to the left; in the animation it's at the top.

In the still image, the vertical dimension is the bearing of the transmitted radar signal, while the horizontal dimension is distance away from Earth, as computed by the time of flight of the radar signals. In the animation those are swapped.

Since posting here earlier today, I've gotten a lot of feedback and had many conversations with people about Key Values. I wanted to share a couple of thoughts and observations :)

1. Most people feel strongly that some subset of the "values" listed on Key Values don't belong there.

I interpret this as a success!

I've read hundreds of careers pages and countless job descriptions working on Key Values. You know what they all say? "Make an impact, learn a lot, and have fun doing it." I've also talked to and interviewed 100+ engineers to learn what they look for when changing jobs. You know what they always said? "I want to have real impact on the product, learn a lot in the process, and have fun at work."

When everyone checks all of the boxes, we don't get anywhere. I wanted to choose values that were general enough to appeal to multiple teams/people but divisive enough to only be selected by a few. Different values resonate with different people, and that's the whole point. (For the record: I will certainly add values that I've missed over time, but I doubt I will remove many.)

2. Many of us have strong opinions about what certain values signal about a team/company/organization.

These opinions say a lot about our previous experiences. Let me use myself as an example. When I first dropped out of grad school and joined a startup, I genuinely believed that "work/life balance" was a pseudonym for a lack of passion. "If you truly love what you're doing, you don't even call it work." A few years later, I was burned out and swung the other way. I wanted to establish a clear separation between work and personal, so I never worked weekends, never worked late, and never attended company happy hours. Now, I kind of crave that fast-paced, work with urgency kind of environment again. Right now, in this particular chapter in my life, I'd be a little sad if everyone went home at 5pm and I was working by myself until 8pm.

To piggy back on the work/life separation: I am a female in tech who no longer drinks alcohol but I still appreciate teams that do so professionally. My personal experiences with drinking at the workplace happen to all be goods ones. Sometimes introverted, socially-awkward people need a beer to loosen up and I really like connecting with my colleagues on a personal level. I don't feel left out or uncomfortable at events where everyone is drinking except for me, and I know that while this is true for me, it isn't for everyone else.

Sorry to compare looking for a job to dating again, but it works here too. We specifically look for things we didn't get enough of in our previous job/relationship when looking for new ones, and we specifically avoid things that we've made negative associations with in our past (we call them "red flags"). Everyone has their own set of personal experiences to draw from and use to navigate the world.

Thanks everyone for your thoughtful feedback and insightful discussions!
If your team was really agile it would be the case. Retrospective should be used to discuss and adapt the way you handle your iteration (not sprint). If your daily stand-up are a problem, remove them.

But agile is like communism or free market: it does not exist.

Bell Pottinger “incited racial hatred” in South Africa
The article reveals a few "dark arts" of the PR firm:-

- Twitterbots to "amplify the message"

- "manipulate Google results to 'drown out' negative coverage of human rights violations"

- get Members of Parliament "known to be critical of investigative programmes could be used to attack journalists over minor reporting errors"

- "a team dealing with negative Wikipedia coverage of clients"

and this bit:-

> In 2016 the Bureau revealed a secret $500 million propaganda operation run by Bell Pottinger in Iraq for the Pentagon after the invasion in 2003. It involved making videos which would look like they had been produced by local Iraqi TV stations to spin the news, and recutting insurgent videos with code to track anyone who watched them. When the Bureau revealed this Lord Bell told the Sunday Times that "it was a covert military operation" for the CIA, the Pentagon and the National Security Council and "we were very proud of it".

>neither lightweight nor a framework

Weight - relative to UE4, unity or lumberyard, this seems lightweight. Unsure about the framework vs engine part - I always felt that when something comes bundled with batteries included, you can still call it a framework, but once it starts providing tools (scene editor), pipelines (asset processing), packaging for platforms, it becomes an engine. Debating over semantics of framework vs engine is pointless however.

Coarse-grained SMT (what Intel call 'hyperthreading') is when a core swaps to a second task when one task stalls on a main memory access.

Intel chips typically have just two tasks they can pingpong between.

The Cray XMT takes this much further with a very long list of tasks it can swap between, with hardware caching, ready-monitoring and scheduling of them. This is excellent for graph problems with lots of main memory stalls. There are plenty of graph problems where there are many tasks that can make progress but they are all waiting on main memory all the time.

The research I linked to takes it further and allows the tasks to be executed speculatively. Basically a tree of hardware transactional memory.

Everything you say about speculation being cycles you can't use for non-speculable computation is true. But there are problems with bottlenecks that force them to be essentially serial.

When cores are cheap, the problem doesn't fit in on-chip-cache and the buffers needed for SMT or SMT+speculation are affordable, speculation is a good way to utilize cores that would otherwise sit idle if that fits your power budget.

It has worked fine for me, so I guess that disproves your sweeping claim?

I had mentors (at various times) who were the VP of Engineering, the GM of a $300 million product line, and the CFO of a $6 billion company. I was able to share concerns and still get promoted, get raises, get extra equity, and so on.

Just because your experiences have been different doesn't make your experiences universal.
YouTube-MP3 Settles with RIAA, Site Will Shut Down
Priceless to whom ? How many hindsights are we really going to gain from that ? How many people are even going to benefit from it. No, how many will even hear about it or will effectively access this ?

We have tendency to consider that all knowledge is precious. That all information, especially from the past, should be treasured. It's sounds more anchored in a collector mindset that in any real assessment of the value of the discovery.

We can't save everything. We don't have to save everything.

As usual, we need to evaluate the cost vs the reward.

Now the hard part is to put a value on knowledge and potential, which I agree is very hard and controversial. But stating we must save things as soon as we discover it doesn't help.

The book "A Conflict of Visions" is by far the best treatment of this topic I have ever read. It was recommended to me some years ago by an anonymous poster on an internet forum and I am glad he/she did.

It's essentially a generalised theory that explains left/right (liberal/conservative) differences in terms of a single underlying intuition about human nature. Because it's an intuition, you can't alter people's point on the political spectrum through an interesting fact or argument, it's only experience that can change people. And yet he shows how starting from this one basic assumption you can logically extrapolate all conservative and liberal political positions from it, in an entirely rational way.
4-5 hours of sleep is definitely not enough. 6 hours is a recommended minimum in nearly every related study I've ever seen. Even though it might not look like a problem immediately, but it's a serious burden on your body (heart, especially) and on the long it will take it's toll (heart attacks in 30' are common as never before). Get some sleep.

As someone who has played poker my entire life as well as a programmer, and have drifted passively into playing online poker recently over the real game. I found this fascinating and hadn't really considered taking the data science route to playing until I read this article as it's more of a hobby. I always have a minimum I'm willing to walk away losing should I do badly, however this approach has changed my view.

Does anyone else on HN have more resources like this, applying data science to poker. I will google, but on forums like this one, I find personally recommended resources to be very helpful.
So someone went looking into the public voting record, presumably to find things they could exploit to get rid of him.

I don't mind the idea of the state protecting children. What I mind is it happening without essential protections such as a right to jury trial, a presumption of innocence, and illegal behavior being limited to what is defined by actual laws written by elected representatives.

What we have here is the terror of the police state. Anonymous tips, petty bureaucrats making life changing rulings on a whim with no clear laws to establish legal behavior. I would love to see the whole thing challenged as unconstitutional and abolished and folded into the much more functional justice system.
This is a non-issue and you are projecting your own fears on others.

I work on very large projects and frankly, some of the code is utter crap. Still, if someone came along and criticized it without offering patches, they'd be the one looking stupid.

It doesn't seem to work that well.

> This review of reviews included 37 systematic reviews of school-based sexual health interventions. It excluded low-quality reviews and spanned 1990 to 2016, so is likely to reflect the best evidence available on the topic.
That's a bit like inciting sex at an orgy.

I'm a Firefox user working at Google.
A lot of internal tools are Chrome only and when they get released to public they have a lot of technical debt to make it compatible with FF.
The thing is engineer seems to always go for the latest internal library like Polymer which are only supported by Chrome. FF is working on supporting it which would probably improve the situation for a lot of Google product but it's taking time.

Also I've heard that Google is not so good at hiring front end engineer, as they are less likely to have the "inverse a binary tree" background.

How do you define reputable opinion? Reputable for whom?
I agree with what you say, but your example of context seems to (unconsciously?) reflect your own politics. What if the coworker's brother signed up specifically to go to Iraq because he truly believed in the mission? What if the coworker's family viewed him as an all American hero? In that case, why would the coworker be upset?

Your conversation leading to upset is based in the assumption that the coworker already shares your worldview in regard to the Iraq war. It's one I share too, so I can see why that'd be automatic, but I've met and known people who fought in Iraq. They didn't exactly seem ashamed!

Diversity: A Business Strategy That Works
In this particular genre there are no off-the-shelf platforms or even accepted set of best practices for something as comprehensive as this for generalized ML pipelining infrastructure. It's still very Wild West. I've done a lot of research into what pipelines look like at different companies and cloud providers and I can tell you this is a nice one. Some have a good training story, some have a good deployment story, some have a good experimentation story, and so on but none have all the things. Projects like Tensorflow Serving and PipelineAI are heading there but still quite a lot missing compared with something like what was presented here.
I think the question of pets in public spaces is a bit of a culture-clash issue. I was raised with well-loved, well-trained dogs, but I would never have considered taking them to a grocery store or restaurant. There are a lot of people whose enjoyment of public spaces is impeded by the presence of animals - one person's emotional support animal is another's source of anxiety, and often for good reason.

I think it is reasonable to expect people to tolerate the broad spectrum of humanity encountered in public, including those at difficult developmental stages, but extending this tolerance to other species is a matter for debate.

You wrote quite a long text, but none of it supports the equivalence of Breitbart and the Guardian you’re trying to defend.

Incidentally, the regularity of pedestrians being killed by drivers - to the extent that many folks (sorry, anecdata) blame the pedestrian more than the driver because walking is seen as the aberration, is my biggest fear about letting a kid run about. Funny enough people move their families to the suburbs for "safety', thereby increasing their miles driven and increasing the kid's risk of getting killed by a car.

Your comment is indeed not helpful and prevents people to open-source their work unless they think that it is awesome.

This tool may not be great but can inspire similar tools or may be helpful for developers who want to learn how to develop a software similar to this one, or attack developers to contribute the project and eventually may become a standard tool as UI for ML pipelines etc.

Why make all that noise with a detailed blog post then? If it's a custom-fit internal tool, then good for you, the rest of the world doesn't care. Each company has internal tools and stuff.
A random idea: in this article, they talked about a Feature Store shared across teams. Feature extraction also seems a major bottleneck in their modeling. It seems a very natural and valuable thing to have a platform to share "generic features".

Yann LeCun said once a deep neural network predicts many targets, say 1000 classes in ImageNet, it is possible for the model to learn quite generic features. So it makes sense to pre-train on a large amount of data and a reasonable number of targets, and then share the learned feature extractors with others.

Could this be a business? Or a community? Thoughts?

both sides

I think that's a big part of the problem right there. Politics doesn't have two sides; it's got far more dimensions and nuances than that, but in some cases it's been turned into a brutal, hatred-prone "us and them" of a ridiculously simple and inflexible two tribe system.
My whole life I was a boredom-driven person.

This means that, for every productive action I'm taking, I have to "roll a morale check" and I fail that one more often than not, and stop doing whatever I wanted to accomplish. I consider myself talented but my output thus is inherently constrained.

It was very shocking for me to discover that many many people don't work like that: instead they need to roll a check to ever stop working, otherwise they don't, eventually burning out (but in process, earning e.g. good grades which was always unreachable to me).
I wasn't commenting on the particular issue. I was merely saying that "who are you to judge me?" is a peer in society. Our lives are interconnected to varying degrees and your life will definately affect others.

Everyone should definately recieve input on how they're living their lives. Some input may not be valuable, but unilaterally dismissing it is hubris.

I'm not arguing for some extreme where people are stoned in the streets. Just that you should entertain some feedback from society.

For example:
I was eating lunch outside and staring at my phone the whole time. An older lady came up and said that I should put my phone away, slow down, and just enjoy the weather/my lunch. I gave it some thought and decided that she was right. Now I conciously try to use meals as a true break and it's been refreshing. Valuable input.

Another example:
I was out on a rainy day. I was wearing a JHU raincoat (had for $3 from a clearance rack) + boat shoes and someone said I should be careful about what I wear lest people think I'm "white priviledged".

Personally, I think that's bullshit, but I was still respectful. I probably won't be taking their advice, but their input might actually be valuable.
