There's tradeoffs to choice. In the case of another commenter "too much choice" means a ton of churn and a lot of friction when it comes to building models.

I think there's always a trade off of innovation vs stability that people should be thinking about here.

Granted, things like the model formats should help long term, but for now we're going to be dealing with a ton of churn on APIs.

I'm sure another thing like dynamic graphs will come along and we'll need to update the apis.

I suspect keras will respond to this at some point by adding primitives for eager mode and the like.

I know both data scientists who need more advanced models and others who prefer the keras api just building off the shelf models.
So let's say you undersell yourself, but you're also somewhat older. That's just going to lead employers to ask "why is this guy/gal not more accomplished after all this time."

If you discount the quality of a degree from a well-regarded university just because it’s in a foreign country, it’s racist (or xenophobic or something roughly equivalent). Not against the candidate but against (citizens of) the nation hosting the university.

With that said, I think hospitals want American candidates with degrees from American universities because the concern is that an American educated by a university in another country was perhaps unable to gain acceptance to an American school, in which case perhaps the foreign university isn’t actually as selective.
Yes they do. And it's even hardware accelerated in the brain! Racial profiling is one word for a special case, but the general case is just refereed to as learning - e.g. using personal brain-stored data from the past to make future predictions.
Does rejecting a candidate for under-qualification not result in age bias as well?

He said it took that time to "to understand how all the moving pieces of the business data flow fit together" which doesn't seem to me to be that long at all. Not every employer is an "Uber for X" where you can understand the product concept in a day or two. I've had jobs where I didn't feel really comfortable with my understanding of the entire scope of the business until I'd been there a couple of years.
It's not competition from Hyperloop that's in consideration. It's the diversion and absorption of public demand and political capital. If people think Hyperloop is in the works, they are less likely to ask for high speed rail. And politicians are less likely to become banner carriers for high speed rail in such a situation.

Not taking a side here, but it doesn't seem useful make fun of the parent comment for what, on its face, seems to me as a pretty apt comment.

These two gentlemen stand to gain from the failure of mass long distance transit. So, why are they spearheading any kind of Hyperloop project? It's a valid question, and the suggestion about their motive is not farfetched for a couple of successful business magnates.
I remember playing multiplayer KAM a few years back. I don't know how they wrote the netcode, but the game ended up terribly out of sync pretty fast.

It's a shame the remake has decided to go 3d and lose the original art style. The original really has timeless graphics.

Every Chinese social media app/company has to follow the Chinese censorship rules, so yes. Toutiao has an army of censors working to censor the content.

Not do what they do, but think like they thought. Many medieval authors wrote from the perspective that the ancients were much more intelligent and knowledgeable than they. The Renaissance, for example, was sparked by the discovery of ancient Greek manuscripts a couple of centuries earlier. As those ideas were reintroduced, there was astonishing intellectual discovery and growth in Italy and then throughout Europe.

I scored around $1016 after costs were removed. I don't think a $1000/week mortgage is reasonable, if you're an Uber driver on those costs, you need to rethink your entire life.

That being said, if mortgage was actually $1000/month and I still have 3 other weeks, being an Uber driver is suddently not so bad.

Because the seats going to the smaller parties would come at the expense of the parties currently in power, who are thus strongly disincentivized against changing the rules towards proportionality.
I was glad for a transcript!

I find it interesting that the technology of the time meant it was hard to write ∀ and ∃ (though APL users seemed to go OK) and so they chose a complex syntax that reminds me of COBOL. The early database applications were business applications (SABRE being #1 I believe) so this wouldn't have been at all an unreasonable basis for SQL's syntax.
Ya, something smells fishy here. On the other hand, I hear my PL PhD is great for working on ads at google.
What if I invested in Blockbuster instead of Boeing? How much would my $1000 be worth today?
I cannot think of a similar trajectory for a company that is today a large platform. The big companies of our, and previous, eras began with small products, targeting markets and grew organically and gradually. Stealth had a purpose, but there was a technology serving a market at a relatively early point. Even in semiconductors. There's no precedent for this degree of fundraising, lack of product release and opacity. I can't think of reasons that this is justified when product/market fit is so unproven.

Even if the experience is fantastic, the product flawless, the content engaging -- none of that means that there'll be product/market fit. Iterations will likely be needed. I'll be delighted if it's a big success, and hey it's not my money. But, the systemic signaling (and actual) risk posed by a potential Magic Leap failure on the larger AR/VR community is being sorely underestimated by everyone. And that is worrisome.
How much of the game was actually in assembly? I always heard that it was mostly stuff like the guest AI that was in assembly (which is why you could have hundreds of them running at once), and the graphical stuff was in a higher-level language.
Well, wasn't the whole idea of Uber and the "gig economy" to not have professional drivers, but just people doing it in their spare time _if they already have the means to_?
Brevity was a consideration, but the idea was refusal. If it is refusal, we have a problem. If, as an above poster suggested, there's an offer to fix the system then I'd not consider that a refusal and I'd be a fool to not at least hear them out.

It's not about thinking, it's about feeling. If half-baked but apparently working features inspire confidence and are perceived as progress by clients and investors, then that perception will drive the rewards and thus the process. The phrase around 1999 was "who cares if it crashes randomly, the user will just reload the page." Shortly afterwards, amount of bugs fixed becomes an additional metric of success, so delivering less features that also come with less bugs means hitting your success metric twice.

Sad, but remember that many startups never deliver profits, AKA actual tangible value, before they exit.
Not even if I ask nicely?
As someone a year off 40 doing contracting, that sounds incredibly depressing.

It also doesn't fit other software devs I know who are similarly old.

That's a statement about potential, not capability.
The amount of unsafe code necessary for low level work, the difficulty in sending a stream of bytes to an io port and the innate complexity of the language. C's philosophy is everything is a series of bits which you can manipulate at will. Rust's is the same except you have to through a huge amount of hoops first to make things "safe".

Things like converting a String to an i64 are a pain. There is large amount of boilerplate code needed.

All in all this is a personal preference. I prefer some unsafeness in c to (in my opinion) the constant inconvenience of programming in rust.
Why? A company with no products that no one has really seen building something people are living without, sure its worth another Billion. Maybe we will all die in a nuclear holocaust and then it won't matter. In meantime you can have nice parties.
An argument made on such vague terms is easy to make. You never qualified how you measure intelligence, nor which people you're talking about (those who in the past who were wealthy and well-written enough to leave records vs the 'common clay' of today,) nor have you said which cultures you believe to be on the cusp of collapse, nor any prediction of the cause of such obviously imminent disaster. And of course, no proof that it would be a disaster, rather than a mere rebirth.

So I would argue that the provider of such an unenlightened exposition is not in a position to be giving such analysis in a meaningful way.
A good number of engineers from facebbok and google are active developing on mercurial, even if it gets comparatively less attention from the big public.

The “features” missing from Windows Phone were mostly high quality 3rd party apps. Windows Phone had a ton of great features in itself.

As a dev (at Microsoft), I’m well aware of the potential risk of dismissing features. However, I’m also aware that features are not free. Everyone who actually ships has to make tradeoffs. You can’t ship every feature so you have to cut ones that you think are low value (to the customer or the business, depending on how you look at it).

This is entirely the right way to see things.

I'd like to emphasize that a copyright notice' purpose is to serve as evidence, should a copyright claim be made. As you said, it is neither necessary nor sufficient to establish a copyright. There's no harm in putting a copyright notice on uncopyrightable material. With that understanding, including a copyright notice just makes sense.

If you're AT&T you have two options. You can tell your engineers to just always include the copyright notice, or you can ask your engineers to understand copyright law well enough to decide whether the notice is called for. The decision is pretty obvious.

EDIT: Ohh, there is a third option. You can pay lawyers to review every code file.

Guess they are scamming the TV advertisers.

From reading your post, I feel like you already know you're problem is sales/marketing.

If I was a betting man, I would imagine you have a great technical product but it maybe needs some adjustments and better market positioning.

If I were you, I would get rid of all your staff if you have any. Cut your costs to zero. Then figure out where your product stands versus competition and put together competitive pricing. Show potential clients how much they can save in X (man hours, downtime, reputation etc.) if they use your product. Focus on selling. Maybe even bring on a sales-focused co-founder.

Failing all of that or if you've had enough try and sell your tech....

EDIT - Also go out and listen to your potential customers. Ask questions. Find out what their problems are and how you can help. Find out what is stopping them from buying your product. Speak face to face or over the phone not email!
I'm not really able to think of any of those medieval authors who thought that way. I'm sure there are examples, but I can't think of any. It seems that, at least in practice, we've pretty much always felt we were the apex of morality and knowledge. That's, I would guess, why broad changes are the exception, slow, difficult, or violent.

I guess I probably should have written something longer and with some caveats.
I have an implementation of Minecraft I'm pretty proud of: https://truecraft.io

However, it is the evolution of several much more embarassing projects. In order from oldest to newest:

https://libminecraft.codeplex.com/

https://github.com/sircmpwn/Craft.Net

https://github.com/SirCmpwn/PartyCraft

https://github.com/SirCmpwn/TrueCraft

I still hate the client code of TrueCraft and it's due to be ripped out and rewritten from scratch. There were also projects earlier than LibMinecraft which, thankfully, have disappeared from the internet.
They are getting tons of apps from top schools like harvard, stanford, etc. I don't think they will have any problem hiring people. Maybe this would help some small company a lot more that can't afford pay google salaries. Also If you believe the Pareto principle most of people at google probably aren't that important to their successes.
I didn't downvote you, but I didn't agree with the first half of what you said (I'm also past the hill). In fact I just upvoted you, because down voting isn't for disagreements, it's for shallow and unproductive arguments (which yours was not).

>However, just as an employer may look at something like commuting time and say to themselves "wow, they're going to commute for 2 hours, that's going to be tough", an employer can look at someone who is older and assume more expenses and say "wow, they might be digging into savings, that's going to be tough".

I think it really boils down to context. If you are a 6 figure developer taking a $40K job, yea, maybe, but if someone is paying $40K for US developers, they don't get to bitch about turnover, that would be a given.

So let's take something more realistic (and I'm framing everything in terms of development, because that's what I know). Say a $150K guy drops down to $100K. To me that isn't a red flag, maybe the guy wants to do something different in a new language. Say a Windows guy wants to do iOS or Linux or vice versa. Unless they are crazy with their money $100K is easy to live on for most people, even as a sole provider with a family.

Another example is they are unemployed and looking for work. A lower paying job is better than no job, so they would already be digging into savings, so I would consider that a moot point. I would imagine that person would be more likely to stick around because they have to dig out of that hole and knows the sting of being unemployed. (It happened to me in 2001 and it sucked.)

It also greatly depends on where you live and what industry you are in. I happen to live in a low cost of living city.

I forgot to add that B2B sale cycles tend to be longer. Be persistent and read around sales + self-help books.
Not quite. If your hiring for a certain level depending on the scope of work, an overly experienced person may not be satisfied with the scope of work. So a good manager would try to find the right level person for the scope of work.
The viability of hyperloop is nil. It doesn't exist. It is literally physically impossible for it to be viable.

You're entitled to your opinion. I know lots of overskilled folks who are happy to put in their 40 and leave.

You're under the impression (it seems, correct me if I'm wrong) that labor is entirely fungible in an org and you can just shuffle people around to match skills to tasks; rarely is that the case, whether you're a company of 80 or 8000.

Managing people is super hard, and technical skill overlap with management skills is almost non-existent.

On their own, % and / are way slower than +, -, *, <<, >>. Cycle counts depend on your architecture, you can look them up. That mod is so slow and should be avoided is a kind of folklore based in truth - kind of like function calls being slow - but like everything time-sensitive the mistake lies in not profiling before (manual) optimization.

There's an example on SO, I got similar results just now when I replicated it:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15596318/is-it-better-to...

It doesn't matter on my machine whether the divisor is 10 or 42 (as in the example), the branching is way faster. Now, maybe if the branching were not in a loop and hence not so easily predicted, it wouldn't make a difference. But if this code is not being used in a loop, optimization may be premature anyway (as indicated in my original comment).

Probably f() has something to do inside the main game loop and gets called on a bunch of objects every frame. I haven't looked at the code enough to know if that's a bottleneck.

You might wanna look into EmberCLI. It's not as trendy or popular as Vue or React (rendering speed is a big reason), but it might be what you're looking for.
The essence of it is in good application of macros. Macroassemblers were essential tools for software that wanted all three of complex, high-performance, and fast to build on hardware of that era. Although it's a bit intimidating to write a large program without a higher-level syntax backing it, it's possible to invent coding conventions and reuse strategies that get you to the desired level of flexibility and maintainability, but perhaps without as many built-in checks and a simpler strategy with respect to resource usage(a general-purpose "malloc" is not a thing you would want to do casually in an assembly program since it makes everything considerably harder to track - but simpler fixed-buffer or mark-and-release strategies were fair game).

And if you were a little more ambitious you could also write a custom code generator that added whatever additional features you needed - expansions, type checks, expression evaluators, simple optimizations. Code generation is actually far easier today since the scripting languages now are so much more powerful and feature-rich than what a typical early 90's setup would have(assembly, buggy proprietary C or Pascal compiler, Basic variants).

Of course there's nothing stopping you from taking a similar approach now and custom-generating some source instead of using templates or compile-time evaluation or other fancy features - it's just harder to communicate.
Haha. I like this bug fix fixing an issue with people always vomiting.
