That's true, but I don't recall having issues searching for specific SPs. A better point could it's easier to understand at a glance which comes later if there's a number in it.

- Creators Update

- Fall Creators Update

Which is first? "Creators Update" doesn't have a modifier, so maybe it came in Spring? But which Spring? Before or after the Fall update?

- Service Pack 1

- Service Pack 2

- Service Pack 3

If you can count, you can figure out the order.

It's a tradeoff. The old SP1s and SP2s with Wacom digitizers get funky at the edges because of how Wacom's technology works. IIRC it's a big array of sensors behind the screen, and they have to extend past the edges of the sensing area to keep accuracy workable across the surface. If you're out at the edge of the grid it can't measure the pen's position accurately.

With Wacom's Intuos tablets you've probably noticed they have a really big bezel. Maybe 2-3 inches around every side. It's not just a physical design decision, they need that in order to work. MS couldn't accommodate that on the surface, so the accuracy at the edges dropped off. And this being Windows with a lot of software not designed for touchscreens, that meant you were trying to poke at tiny toolbar buttons in the least accurate region of the digitizer.

Ntrig solves that, it's let them at least be consistent across the whole surface, even as bezels got smaller and smaller. But like you said, the peak accuracy of Wacom in the middle of the screen probably beats it.

I sold my SP3 to buy a 9.7" iPad Pro when those came out, mainly because I got annoyed with the digitizer. If you draw a line slowly you can see it get visibly pulled back and forth along the digitizer grid. To get smooth lines you have to do fast sweeping strokes, which I really didn't like.

For reference, lines drawn on a SP3 in OneNote: http://i.imgur.com/bxpnPSv.png

In an AMA on reddit the Surface team attributed some of the pen performance issues to "capacitive coupling" making the pen not detected as accurately if you let the tip touch a ruler, so those are drawn freehand. Even so, you can clearly see the lines get pulled into the pattern of the ntrig grid.
I really liked the chocolate sea salt ones. The rest are kinda meh.
Yeah, that's true. I went to the MS ISO Download website and it said "Creators Update." I couldn't tell if that is the new one or the old one.
Yeah, inquiring minds want to know.
I've done some reasonably in-depth (hah) oceanographic GIS work.

we know _nothing_ about the oceans. Even the things one would think are pretty easy are known at very, very coarse granularity. "what shape is the ocean floor? what's it made of? how deep is the sediment here?" are questions that, for the vast majority of the ocean, we have answers for at a resolution of about one data point per square mile or worse, and that survey data is decades old.

The last "proper", "get on a boat for 6 months and count animals" surveys of marine mammal populations in some high risk areas of the ocean (like the gulf of mexico) are almost 40 years old for some species.

etc.
> if there were any use cases that could be solved using inheritance that could not be solved more elegantly without it?

There are behavior mixins, that you can look at Django views as an example. There are interface implementations when you want to have a few almost complete standard ones.

Both are cumbersome to implement on Haskell. If you make sure to not use any widely used class, you can hack them out of some sets of hierarchical type classes with possible some overlapping. But leaving half-done stuff at your API to be filled by client code is never pretty there.
The difference is that Uber wasn't a taxi because they didn't (and still don't) accept street hails.

The question around Uber was whether the laws would be changed to make them a taxi, which after much lobbying they weren't, but they were already fine under the existing laws. As kenbaylor says below, Uber themselves thought the laws would quickly be changed to make their business illegal, so they didn't even get into that market until Lyft forced them to do so.
Regarding your regexp question, it depends on what implementation of regexp you use. If you go by the formal definition and the state machine parsers optimized for that, then multiple matches is not problematic for finding the longest match. It can be if using some common extensions though, that change the running time to exponential. See https://blog.codinghorror.com/regex-performance/ for example.
This is a deceptive title. The maps presented are interesting, and the article touches on related points of where infrastructure is located, and where people live, but aside from noting that parts of the deep ocean have not been mapped in detail, this article does not show that any "dark spots" exist on the map.
I think there's some other world of NYC tech (maybe those oh-so-hip DUMBO companies?) but I have had the same experience. We get a flood of resumes from bootcamp grads whenever we post an opening for web dev or full stack and historically have found them difficult to hire.

Doesn't show any automated verification of code in deployed fashion, no load tests or verifications which would be part of a world class pipeline. Also no canary or red-blue tree type rollout hooked to sentry. At least it has a staging but don't know what they're using it for other than to test migrations before promoting to prod. Nice little write up but far from world class.
I agree on the naming convention, Microsoft is once again defending its title as the limbo champion of naming things.

I'm inclined to defend Microsoft's strategy for forced security updates, they're really doing a commendable job of proactively defending their users from newly discovered threats. Feature updates not so much.
More or less, everyone participating in an ICO expects gains. It's not for philanthropic reasons.
Nice to see Microsoft bringing new consumer hardware to market. In the meantime, all Surface Pro 4 i7 devices become unusable due to graphic issues.

The brilliant concepts by Microsoft are so amateuristically executed. I learned my lesson and am staying away.

I've hired 5 people from flatiron school, all of which worked out very well. desperation had nothing to do with it, I found the folks there were very helpful with matching potential candidates to what I was looking for. Additionally, I found candidates to have more diverse backgrounds on average and that was a positive thing for me.

Of course, anyone coming out of a bootcamp (or undergrad if they have no work experience) is going to be a relatively inexperienced hire, and not all companies have the inclination/ability/experience/desire to support these kinds of hires and the mentorship they require.

I've been a hiring manager for a very long time, and my opinion is that it's foolish to dismiss any potential source of candidates, especially one where you are not directly competing with google/facebook/amazon/goldman sachs. Many people from flatiron have engineering or math degrees, and realized after school they loved to code.

Also, back in the day, when I was a sophmore in college, someone hired me to be a sysadmin when the only experience I had was running the network in my college dorm for 6 months. Within a very short time I was writing all kinds of code, learning a ton, and making small but meaningful contributions. I've worked as a software engineer ever since. My first boss took a risk on me, and it worked out really well for him, and me. Some of the best hires I've ever made had skillsets that didn't, on paper, line up very well, but they turned out great. These experiences are why I'm willing to take risks in hiring.

I think most hiring managers are far too narrow minded when it comes to this stuff, although I understand why that's the case, too.
> They try to sell this as a "solution" to ambiguous grammars

But it is a solution... the grammar is no longer ambiguous if you define choice as giving priority to one side or the other. There's no need for scare quotes! It is a solution that removes ambiguity. There is no longer any ambiguity, and there's nothing 'vague' at all about a rule as simple and clear as this.

> but they're just ... wrong

You'll have to give a more convincing argument than that if you want to persuade people!

> It's as if Java, when resolving method overloading, arbitrarily prefered the method that's declared first in the source file, instead of refusing to compile ambiguous code, as it does now

But if you had this rule, then the code isn't ambiguous any more is it? It has a well-defined way to decide which method to use, which everyone can understand and implement.
On the other hand, Wikipedia is going to have to migrate back off of HHVM now that Facebook is planning to break compatibility with PHP and focus totally on Hack [0]. So hopping on board someone else's solution can bite you if their priorities change.

I have built a prod K8S cluster by hand (back in the 1.1 days). It taught me a lot of the foundations of K8S, so I don't regret it. It is why we are using GKE.

With GKE, most of your focus will be around (1) tooling for generating manifests, such as Helm or (forgot the name of it). I had written something called Matsuri, but that is only useful if your team is a Ruby shop. (2) what to put into the containers and how they link up.

So yeah, I agree with your assessment.

From my own experiences looking for a job in SF (where Galvanize has a strong DS base), full-time Data Science positions typically require a Masters/PhD, even if it is stated as optional on the application.

I did meet a Galvanize DS grad who was working as a DS at a large SF startup...in a probationary role created explicitly for bootcamp graduates. (I had applied for the same startup with a strong referral and was eventually ghosted due to lack of Masters/Phd)
An HN user's perspective as a Flatiron student, from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11734796

> One of the things that attracted me to Flatiron School was their audited jobs placement report. Very detailed statistics about how many students graduate, how long it takes them to find jobs, and how much they earn. I've never seen traditional colleges hold themselves to that standard of disclosure.

Apparently these phony statistics played a huge role in many student's choices to attend.

edit: 'illegitimate' or 'misleading' would apparently be a better choice than 'phony.'

I hired a bootcamp graduate a few years ago. He worked out pretty well and is still with the company.

We (the interviewers) did spend a lot more time discussing him than other candidates that same year. He interviewed extremely well, had a compelling story about why he took the path he took, but we hadn't hired somebody without a 4-year STEM degree in ages. He was persistent, didn't get scared off by our hesitation, and we decided that his persistence was a strong enough additional signal to take the risk and make an offer.

Hacker News isn't a trading forum or a place for investment advice!

But here's a hacker-friendly strategy for investing in cryptocurrency:

Buy some tokens. Then spend your time, energy, and genius on significantly improving the protocol and ecosystem for those tokens, and then enjoy your return on investment!
Fred Wilson from AVC is pretty bullish on bitcoin. His advice was to have 10% of networth in bitcoin! but, I don't know if he meant you should buy in at the price it's at right now.

But, unlike the stock market, or the housing market, there doesn't seem to be any PE ratio we can keep an eye on to determine whether or not bitcoin is over valued or under valued, so it really feels like a crapshoot.
Posted this in a different thread:

A quick chat with an attorney who is an SEC specialist basically said "if it breathes" i.e. involves money that ICO is seen as a security. The SEC putting together the digital division which covers cryptocurrency tokens is part of what led to him saying this. Basically fish in a barrel.

It is in my opinion that any US-based ICO is now in a lottery as to whether they get the SEC visit.

Not legal advice at all, just sharing an excerpt from a coffee chat.
Digital Ocean recently announced a partnering with a Kubernetes vendor. You can run managed K8S on DO now.
Sure, which is why basically all of the people running ICOs are now risking prison time.
> As a result, brokers (i.e. your hypothetical entity that gobbles up all the shares and then loans them or sells economic/voting rights) must be registered with FINRA and are subject to very extensive regulations, including rules from FINRA, the SEC and the public exchanges.

I still don't get it, length and complicatedness of rules notwithstanding. Why can't a holding company not subject to these regulations simply buy from the broker and then resell? Why can't I personally buy and hold a bunch of shares and then sell stakes to people in my office completely off the books? What if I only sell a partial stake (e.g, 90% of dividends and 40% of voting rights)? Repackaging/Securitization happens all the time and in a million forms; is every allowed form simply listed exhaustively in a broker contract somewhere?
I really knew very little about the whole affiliate marketing economy before reading this. My primary reaction after reading it is just to SMH at the fundamentally greedy acquisitive dishonesty of the whole mess. I realize it's nothing new, but still.
Not what I was expecting. I was hoping for a dark spot on the map that might harbor an island with dinosaurs still roaming. Sad.
From my experience, boot camps are more frequently a supplement rather than a replacement to college education.
> I still think "investing" in bitcoin is a gamble

Maybe there's more to be gained than an increasing exchange rate.

I've gained a lot of knowledge by running Bitcoin Core on testnet, grabbing some free test coins from a faucet, and learning how to use the API.

There's a lot to learn! Not only sending and receiving, but also importing and exporting private keys, signing and verifying messages, M-of-N multisig transactions, paper wallets, brainwallets, etc.

And there are now several implementations of the Lightning Network for instant and very low cost transactions which make micropayments feasible that you can learn using the testnet.

Then once you understand the fundamentals of Bitcoin, you might do the same for Ethereum and its smart contracts, solidity, and ERC20 tokens.
Yeah, I don't think people in the US worry about white supremacy in Sweden so much. But racists in the US like to play up their so-called "pure" heritage by co-opting Scandinavian culture.

Thank you Filipe :) I hope that not too many hours were added!
I agree. I don't think government is useless, but private industry is much better at innovation and meeting consumer demand.

A story everyone speaking of education reform should be cognizant of is that of Jaime Escalante.

Another issue aside from innovating to meet demand: Personally, if I want to sit down tomorrow and earn a degree in a subject, I don't know why I can't just self study and take exams to do this. To me, anyone in the world being able to earn the equivalent of a Harvard degree appears to be the ultimate policy in dismantling inequality and advancing opportunity. Why should Harvard degrees be limited to a small number of people? They really shouldn't.
This is the most beautiful laptop/computer I've seen in a long time, it hits all the right buttons for me:

it has great battery life,
it comes in 15" and you can detach for tablet mode
it has a pen (so I don't have to have ipad pro + laptop)
touchscreen is just better, I've seen people use it, and it is better then my macbook air
it has nvidia 1060 so I can play games

I need to figure out how to work on this, as it has Windows and I am game. I need some really good terminal and graphical vim and I will be golden.
I can't believe the author doesn't mention gitlab. Setting up full CI on gitlab is amazing. They have the easily integratable gitlab runners i.e. travis-ci functionality + different build stages for automatic deployment via ansible/chef/whatever and unlimited free private projects to boot. If you're working on anything that can't be public I highly recommend gitlab. Its an amazing service.

FYI: I am in no way affiliated with Gitlab.
After trying various supposed solutions to this, most involving toggling some arcane Group Policy setting somewhere, all of which I dutifully toggled, only to find many days later that actually it made no difference, eventually I managed to hit on the right combination, and now I now get prompted for each update!

So it is possible, at least with Windows 10 Enterprise... even if I'm not quite sure how. I've ticked so many damn boxes in that stupid policy editor. But, if you ever find yourself losing faith as you click through another advert-infested Windows "help" site, stay strong! A solution is out there!

(It still isn't perfect, though. Sometimes the updates are downloaded before I get prompted; other times, I'm prompted and then they download. More than once, the "download" process has used 100% CPU for an hour, which makes me suspicious that it's doing a bit more than it claims. And a couple of times when I've had the Security & Updates page open in the background, I've seen things just install themselves without asking, suggesting that certain updates are able to bypass this. But: no forced reboots.)
There were similar feature articles about security.txt and humans.txt on Hacker News in the past.

> they don't exactly tell you BUY THIS, DONT BUY THAT

> but for what I care about it sucks, its hard to use, and it doesn't dry dishes AT ALL.

I'm confused, it sounds like you wish CR had just told you which dishwasher to buy without going into more detail, but you also wish they had gone into more detail about specific strengths and weaknesses so you could make a decision based on what's most important to you.

Did CR just not talk about the things you hate about your dishwasher, or did they talk about it, but only as part of a complicated, confusing review?

I've generally found CR to be a million times more informative than any of the crappy, sleazy affiliate marketing sites peddling "reviews" that clog up the first few pages of Google search results. That said, I haven't really looked at them for a few years, so maybe they've gone downhill. Their business model does seem harder to sustain in the internet-era.

> Angular momentum is a man made calculation

So is linear momentum, really.

I agree that you can analyze an actual physical gyroscope just in terms of linear momentum without reference to angular momentum, though the calculations end up harder. But there are things that have angular momentum that doesn't obviously correspond to linear momentum (circularly polarized light and nonzero-spin elementary particles come to mind).

> the well-understood cost

Cost, yes. Well understood? Not by the vast majority of the few billion Google users, who think it's perfectly normal for Google's service to just magically appear on the Internet without them having to fork over any cash.
That's the wrong question.

It sounds like you've already made the decision and want to hear anecdotes that validate your choice, and you'll probably disregard the survivorship bias (explicitly asked for successful examples) and participation bias (hacker news users voluntarily answer).

What you should do is look at some numbers -- % of friends vs nonfriends founders that exited successfully, perhaps.

After that, I suspect the question you will want to ask instead is "How do I find a good cofounder outside of college?"

This reminds me of a line from "Bill Nye the Science Guy" from when I was younger. Here's what my fuzzy memory recalls:

We know more about the moon than our oceans. Getting to the moon is easy, all you need is a few billion dollars, a rocket pointed at space, and a space suit to keep you pressurized.

In the ocean you have to deal with such unimaginable crushing pressures that push the limits of human engineering. Whats insane is that there is life there! There is so much left in the ocean to explore because humans have not been able to get there yet.
