Mostly swing trading. e.g CAN SLIM. My biggest concern is whether it's worth the added stress and time commitment vs passive investing. I do enjoy it, but it does take an emotional toll.
Anyone care to explain the technological situation of Cruise? I feel like I read mix messages all the time about them. Some say that Cruise is just putting up smoke and mirrors while others make it seem like they're the closest thing to level 4/5 autonomy compared to anyone else. I'm super curious where they actually stand in terms of technology.
I saw this on the 10/08/17 broadcast of 60 mins and was shocked to hear how cheap it was. I bet someone using squarespace would probably charge more money. I never saw the original but it had to be very simple. I'm sure he charged more overtime but a $1500.00 initial quote is nuts for a major presidential website. That's less than 10 hours for building,testing and implementation.

What do you all think? How much time do you think it took to make it live? Is website production a dead career?

See, that's interesting, because besides being voiced by the same actor, there is some evidence in the show that Morty is Rick.

When has a UWP app ever had more features than the Forms app it replaced? I'd love to know. Windows Mail doesn't even properly support attachments let alone do even a quarter of what Outlook does.
They didn't lose though. They're back without having to change anything on their end.

He's talking about where GitLab should run their services from. He meant GitLab should purchase hardware and move into a colo rather than run off of cloud services.
I'd really recommend taking a look at BigQuery, as I think it could address at least the inefficient query trigger extreme load. It'd be great to have you report back your experiences as well.

The GCP podcast team just did a good interview recently with some team members that you might find useful:

ORM's let you write a lot less code since you don't have to do the object-relational mapping yourself. That's just one of several reasons I usually recommend them. The issue is, as you've pointed out, that people sometime use ORM's as an excuse to not understand SQL, which is a terrible idea. But the bottom line is that you have to optimize all your database calls, including ones implemented with ORM.
>I really appreciate that there are companies that are prioritizing San Francisco as a testing ground.

I think it has more to do with them not having a snowball's chance in hell in Boston, Rome or New Delhi (in increasing order of difficulty).

You can't compare the complexity of a dota char with a unit. Sc units are very basics, they don't have xp, don't have a skill tree, don't have have 100 of possible objects and their skills don't vary so much in context.

Elitism is a self-protecting cabal. SV doesn't really do that. That's the point of disruptive technology. You're disrupting an existing order. That's anti-elitist.
RStudio 1.1 Release
OMG. MFC ? You mean Microsoft Foundation Classes ?
mmh. that stuff is still supported ?
eventhough there was/is all the .NET crazyness.
That's actually pretty good of MS.
I guess the main question is: how do you in advance if you got a MFC-like library from MS with 20+ year support vs a library like Sliverlight where they drop support and let you alone with a migration to a different platform ?
I am just going to sit here and smirk.

That's the problem, you seem content to feel superior rather than offering useful information. Granted, you actually did both, but if you had simply posted your link without the snarky assumption of the OP's state of mind, perhaps you would have been better received.
Anecdotally, i've always been counter offered - and i've left 4 jobs as a developer. Usually around 10% more, assuming you say your primary reason for leaving is monetary and 'advancement' of course. If you say you're unhappy because of behaviour x and y they'll probably think they can retain you just by changing those. You have to be up front.

Edit: 2 of these were 'big companies', 2 were small (small business and a startup)
If only iPhones used LIDAR...
Two things that the article missed:

1. The startup scene's smarmy feel-good rhetoric and forced friendliness. The cutesy aesthetics, the wacky company names, and most gratingly the lofty mission statements that cover up at best business as usual and at worst actual corporate malfeasance. How did we get to here? When did "making the world a better place" become the mantra of Silicon Valley, and why did this laughable cliche get created? Was SV truly idealistic at one point, or has it been trying to cover up its true mission all along by pretending to be better than Wall Street or Hollywood, those other synonyms for wealth generation and inequality?

2. Silicon Valley can't even make the Bay Area a better place, never mind America, or the world. The extreme inequality in San Francisco and its environs is largely due to local government and broken politics, it is true. But SV companies should spend more of their lobbying efforts not in D.C. clamoring for special statuses, but in local legislatures securing better housing and infrastructure. Both their employees and the local populations will benefit, and like them more for it. Instead, what's the most high profile example of an SV executive interacting with local leaders? Steve Jobs presenting the new Apple headquarters plan to the Cupertino City Council in 2011. How's the traffic on Stevens Creek these days?
I use Foobar for music and VLC or MS "movies" for movies. I've dabbled with Groove which is an adequate music player, but not a patch on the old Zune app which I still fondly recall.

I never use WMP because to me it feels like the poor cousin to iTunes (just a feeling, probably not justified), and iTunes is ineptitude incarnate (justified)
I believe he means that the "SaaS option" is run in the cloud by GitLab itself, which is probably very expensive given that the nature of the service is both storage and network-intensive. If GitLab operated their own datacenter(s) it could be considerably less expensive.
The Moldbug Variations
If DOTA is anything like league I'm not sure I agree completely. I think in league there's more 'future prediction' needed, i.e. the current state is less immediate than in star-craft. In star-craft you can quickly see who is winning but in league there are things such as pushing lanes to consider and knock-on effects from later back timings (I know dota doesn't have backing but it has couriers?).

While that all can be extrapolated from current state I think starcraft is much easier to go for immediate gains by destroying more supply/resource value of units and extrapolate from there.
This doesn't let you persist ad hoc setups, but I have a `~/lib/tmux-code` file that I source from `~/.bash_profile` with entries like this:

function ins-code {

env_name=code
long_name=insurance
short_name=ins
tmux_session=${short_name}-${env_name}

if tmux list-sessions | grep ${tmux_session}; then
tmux attach-session -t ${tmux_session}

else
cd ~/src/${long_name}/backend/app/models && \
tmux new-session -d -s ${tmux_session} && \
tmux rename-window -t ${tmux_session}:1 models

cd ~/src/${long_name}/backend/app/controllers && \
tmux new-window -t ${tmux_session}:2 -n controllers

cd ~/src/${long_name}/backend/app/views && \
tmux new-window -t ${tmux_session}:3 -n views

cd ~/src/${long_name}/backend/app/assets/stylesheets && \
tmux new-window -t ${tmux_session}:4 -n css

tmux select-window -t ${tmux_session}:1 && \
tmux -2 attach-session -t ${tmux_session}
fi
}

Then I can just say `ins-code` and it will either launch a new session or attach if it already exists.
>Deontological ethics doesn't tell me to take good care of numbers in a computer, unless you adopt a set of rules that says otherwise purely in the name of being contrary for this post alone. (In which case I'd also like you to analyze the ethics of the numbers you changed simply in the act of posting your contrary reply.) Consequentialism doesn't tell me to be concerned about the value of numbers in a computer; I would have higher regard for the health and well being of an individual bacterium than a pedestrian in GTA.

It runs afoul of some formulations of Virtue ethics, where the idea is to cultivate certain proclivities and habits/patterns of thinking and behaving that make you “virtuous.”

In this case, the argument is that diminishing your capacity for empathy/compassion and gratifying violent or anti-social impulses are bad for you.

Count how many datastores you can use right now. I bet we could find 200 active data stores.
It's a truth universally acknowledged, that a man in possession of a keyboard is guaranteed to spot spelling errors and trivial errors absolutely last of everyone watching.
You're presupposing a uniformity of needs that simply does not exist.

Do the government canteens have vegan options? Vegetarian? Nut-free? Just peanut-free? Gluten-free? Halal? Kosher? Why or why not? Which of those are "necessities" and which are "luxuries"? It may well turn out that your opinion on that last question differs from your neighbor's, which differs from that of the bureaucrat who actually makes the call. And at least in the US, having government-provided food facilities that are expected to be widely used but effectively discriminate on a religious basis in any way would end up in court on First Amendment grounds in a hurry...

That's just the food end. There are similar questions about housing. Should all the apartments involved be wheelchair-accessible? Should all the bathrooms be accessible by someone who is mobility-impaired?

(Healthcare and education have similar issues, though to a large extent people seem make the opposite choice on those, as compared to food.)

Anyway, one of my big takeaways from the history of the 20th century (both from nominally communist countries and the experience in the US with housing projects and urban redevelopment in general) is that uniformization schemes like what you describe tend to lead to a good deal of misery...
It will also add an additional level to the node tree, I think.

Additionally, connect from react-redux seems to provide a better API for the common case where you want to export both the bare and the connected versions of a component.
I am glad they took the time to mention Super Smash Bros Melee. That game took over my life for a time, and in hindsight it was because it was the medium that made me feel as if I was expressing myself honestly for the first time.
+100. I spent almost two decades in SV before moving to PHX and agree completely with your tips.

I've found that since moving to PHX, the hustling and "revolutionizing/world-changing/disruptive" rhetoric is kept to a minimum. Tech isn't its "own world" as much here and most of my friends and co-workers in the tech community end up talking about things we all enjoy doing as hobbies, or our families, more than anything. It's nice to find professional peers who enjoy hiking in Sedona, not worrying about how many PRs their open-source project has, or how many retweets their presentation at RubyConf got.

Its totally subjective, but its my kind of environment.
Do you remember where this is implied in the show? That theory is super interesting.
Neat. I personally use https://github.com/tmuxinator/tmuxinator for this.
Also, in languages that support HEREDOCS, if you call the HEREDOC "SQL" then VIM and the Intellij editors will syntax-highlight the SQL.
They were great at getting their OS preinstalled on nearly every PC. They were really good at backwards compatibility, and they were absolutely ruthless against their competition. But they always, always sucked at marketing.
> I cannot distribute .APPX

You can distribute .APPX. You can't distribute an unsigned .APPX and guarantee users can use it, but you haven't been able to do that with .EXE in years either.

> I cannot run .APPX.

Double clicking an .APPX installs it.

> I cannot run .EXE.

You can include Win32 .EXEs in .APPX packages now. There's a bunch of tools to support just that scenario called the "Desktop Bridge".

> I cannot run from command shell.

The desktop bridge now supports command line apps: https://blogs.windows.com/buildingapps/2017/07/05/command-li...

Any app that supports protocol activation (URIs like xbox:// or my-custom-app://cool-action) can be called with PowerShell (`Start-Process xbox://`). Most apps don't publish activation URLs, but some common ones are discoverable.

From within a UWP app you can launch other apps and files to their associated and URLs: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/api/Windows.System.Laun...

The Desktop Bridge has an API to launch an .EXE from UWP, either as a background task or a foreground task. There are also APIs to transfer data between the .EXE and UWP apps.

> I have to use exclusively Visual Studio in order to run my app.

You don't have to. It's a lot easier, but it's not the only way. APPX isn't that special, it's a zip file with an XML file and your binaries and whatever else, and any IDE could put one together if it desired. I wouldn't want to hand-build .APPX packages, but that's an option if you really desire it.

> I cannot launch automated UI test.

There are automation drivers for Appium and Selenium for UWP.

> Why should I play bureaucracy games with certificates on my own machine?

You don't, Windows Developer Mode does all the security work for you for your own development/testing needs.

IF you want to let others install your app, you need a security certificate. This has been the case with .EXE and .MSIs for decades, this is not new security.

> "Launch from Layout" API

I have no idea what this is referring to.
So, you update a 5,000+ line file every time you need to change a query?

What do you do when you have five similar queries, and each needs to be changed if one changes?

This seems like smaller projects might work, but I'd be concerned about using a strategy on a larger project.
In states, maybe. With uber that cancer spread worldwide.

As far as I know, they've used that model (UberPOP) only in few places. In my European country, they just accept companies, which hire their drivers as employees.

Sure, I've written nothing about SV in my post, only about a world without iPhones, Facebook, Google, Uber/Lyft

And only those products/companies have insane EULAs?
The set of people interested in running external DACs for their phones is vanishingly small. I’m pretty sure that losing that market wasn’t what doomed Windows Phone.

Regardless, my point wasn’t that the hardware was perfect for everyone or every use case. The point was that there were premium Windows Phone devices before the 950 showed up. The 950 arrived after the end state for Windows Phone was pretty obvious.
This is a random tangent, but I've been meaning to build my first PC and was thinking of going with Ryzen.

Do you by any chance run Linux or Linux dev tools on it and if so have you experienced hard crashing issues that I've been reading about?
> You make it sound like white males get together with conferences to discuss new ways of oppressing people.

Yeah so... about that. Here is an article about someone infiltrating one such conference in Seattle that was literally full of white male mostly techies who were discussing different ways of doing that.

http://www.thestranger.com/news/2017/10/04/25451102/we-snuck...

Yeah, yeah... you'll probably point out that this was a only a couple hundred people, and thats very few when you compare it to the total population of seattle. And I'd mostly agree with that argument.

But I just thought it was funny that one such conference just happened.
webOS still had a chance when HP's CEO churn killed it. It's UI is still better than modern Android or iOS. All it needed was a single generation of decent hardware.

Moblin was merged with Nokia's Maemo into Meego. Meego was a resounding success on the one phone it shipped (Nokia N9 sold millions of devices in non-primary markets with zero advertising). We can thank Elop the Trojan CEO for that one.

Meego morphed into Tizen which Samsung promised not to change too much before proceeding to basically replace the entire UI stack with Bada. Tizen offers nothing but a rip-off Android experience and an SDK with a EULA that screws devs so bad that even MS or Apple wouldn't dream of having it (last time I checked, if you write something with the proprietary Tizen SDK, you hand all your rights to your code over to Samsung).
CBN’s Aisha Ahmad and Religious Hypocrisy in Northern Nigeria by Farooq Kperogi
It's tragic that some consider "classical liberal" an alt-right dog whistle.
I think Rick and Morty resonates with people who are struggling with the disillusionments of adolescence: that you aren't as unique or special as you thought, that your parents have problems and concerns that have nothing to do with you, that you're just a lump of matter, and that how people value and treat you is influenced by your practical value to them.

It resonates even more with people who would prefer those issues be brought front and center, people who dream of achieving social acceptance but can't swallow the apparent disregard for larger issues that casual society demands. That the powerful and confident Rick openly addresses their fears is validating; that he manages to be blasé about them is reassuring. They are tired of feeling weak next to their peers who seem strong (or, preferably, stupid) enough to work at forging confident and polished versions of themselves that aren't marred by of the horribleness of the world. Rick provides an alternative model of strength that includes adolescent disillusionments front and center instead of sweeping them under the rug; Morty to Rick presents an alternative route to competent adulthood.

And of course it seems "nihilistic" to them even though it is nothing of the sort. Nihilism is a natural fascination for socially isolated adolescents, because they feel all of their illusions being stripped away and wonder what will be left when the illusions are gone. (Adolescents who feel socially connected don't feel a gaping nothing waiting to swallow them up when when their childhood illusions are gone. That's why some kids are able to gloss over it as an occasional terror, while it feels like an essential aspect of reality to others.) "Rick and Morty" is leading them along, season by season, to the discovery that there is something left, and, like math, you don't understand it so much as get used to it. The more weird and amazing things you learn, the more you learn that you are going to have an ordinary life even if you also have an extraordinary one, and to go one step further into painful territory, even if you don't.

Just pointing it out so please don't shoot the messenger, but I've noticed that a lot of people from China will text like this. FWIW I don't think the ellipses have the same awkward meaning that's conveyed in Western conversations.
All resources I've ever read argue that coffee is super helpful. Probably, I'm a sort of outliner. I drink no more than 1 cup of coffee per day and in 5 years this habit has gifted me with painful heartburns and chronic gastritis.

Initially, I started consuming coffee only because my mom has Parkinson's disease and coffee is supposed to have preventive properties. I'm afraid I will end up with ulcer sooner than I will live to Parkinson's onset.
Curious, any reason you've left out MS Azure DW?

I'd be interested in seeing their numbers in there as well.
Equifax Breach Fallout: Your Salary History
>Urban centers through most of human history have lacked a lot of open spaces

For most of human history transportation through urban centers was done primarily on foot and roads were designed to facilitate that. Contemporary urban planning is designed around speedily moving motorized vehicles through and the streets, such as they are, are rivers of traffic that pedestrians have to hurry themselves across during the short windows of time that cars aren't speeding by.

The invention of the automobile has been terrible for letting kids roam around. On the flip-side of the dangers they face in urban centers, the ones growing up in newer suburban areas lack the density to have an appreciable amount of kids of similar ages within walking/biking distance of each other. Many older style, "streetcar" suburbs do, but we haven't build many of those in the past 30 or so years.
I had the reverse happen to me with a recruiting company that shows up occasionally on HN. I had started filling out a profile in the evening, and when I returned to finish it the next morning I already had a rejection email sitting in my inbox.

I probably submitted something on accident and just didn't notice it, but it still hurt when I sat down at my desk that morning and discovered I'd been rejected before I'd even managed to fill in all of my personal information.
I am. You'll notice I am not the one advocating people just moving to chase ephemeral opportunities.

This would be so much easier if we just replaced the consumer with a more efficient AI.
There are several other "no-ops" services that Google offers in GCP that we leverage to great effect (and personally, as the guy who would be doing the "ops" part, really enjoy using). It's quite liberating to be able to use a powerful product with _literally_ zero operations 'cost' in terms of mindshare - not getting sucked backwards to upgrade/fix/whatever service we're using, reliably, reduces a lot of mental burden and makes it easier to keep moving forwards.
