It has nothing to do with job hoppers deserving more money, it's more that companies don't typically pay those who stick around as well. The job hopper would be more likely to already be making more money, therefore he'd have more leverage going into negotiations. The likelihood that you'd spend ten years specializing in something that is exactly what lots of companies need at the moment is fairly low, especially in an industry where the churn of technologies is high. It's more likely that they'd have ten years experience in a dated technology.

The key word is key. There's not enough hours in the day to out train a bad diet. That said, there is the psychology of training. You don't have to be a fitness freak to get that "game face" feeling. That in turns is self-support when you finally decide to eat.

Put another way, there are benefits to exercise beyond calories burned.
That depends on who you mean by "they". BO is planning on landing the whole first stage, like SpaceX. BO has some experience doing stuff in that arena with their New Glenn rocket (there are a number of factors that make the New Glenn landings a lot easier than the Falcon 9 landings, but it's still very useful experience).

The BE-4 will also be used by ULA, on their Vulcan rocket. ULA has talked about detaching the engines from the first stage of the rocket and having them fall under parachutes (to be caught be a helicopter). It remains to be seen if they ever implement that (it kinda feels like a token nod to reuse to get people to stop asking question).
I realise that you tried to work with the same constraints as the Go solution for the sake of argument.

But the whole rationale for having 3/ in the first place isn't valid in Swift, so it seems to me that the obvious Swift solution is to use an enum per operation.

Reminds me of what got me to this site many years ago. I was reading a lisp programming book that had a footnote that somehow got me to HN.

As a teenager I got enamoured by the idea of the future of the tech being driven by small fast-moving hacker friendly companies rather than big corp, as portrayed in PG's writings and this site.

I remember how I increasingly became disillusioned as I gradually realized that many (most?) startups were optimizing for the acquisition by the same big corp (investors gotta cash out, right?) instead of building long-term sustainable businesses.

This seems to have attracted the kind of personality that just wants to play the game, cash out and get rich.
Multiply the cost of one case of diabetes ($85,200) by the marginal chance of developing the disease (18%), and divide by the number of 12oz cans consumed over that decade (2555) gives $6.00.

The marginal increase is not 18%, it's 18% of the base rate.
$0.70 a gig is really high. Even for cutting edge high density SSDs, I would expect to see around $0.50 a gig.

Why does the language matter when reasoning about the problem?

It seems to me you're conflating "how to solve this problem" with "how to use a particular tool to implement a particular solution to a given problem."
> If you have enough money you are free to do what you please to the detriment of the planet.

But it wouldn't be a detriment, the extra cost would be derived from the expenses associated with offsetting the negative externalities (by cleaning pollution, planting trees, recycling, water purification, whatever).
Yea, suicide rates are just as bad too. Same with medical malpractice and just getting an antibiotic resistant infection. Bad things will always happen. An issue here is control. I have an amount of control on the road as an active driver. Truly once self driving cars become a thing, no one will be a passive driver realistically. Everyone will have their nose in their phone. I grew up in Florida and learned to drive in Florida. The rest of the USA has rookie numbers when it comes to deaths on the road. Defensive driving is why I’ve dodged 2 drunk drivers. I won’t give up control of a vehicle to a computer. The reason why flying commercial flights is scary, lack of control even though it’s statistically safer. But it’s also statistically a complete shit storm when something does go wrong. Engine failure in a car and a plane have different stats on result for a reason. Point being, I doubt annual deaths on the road will differ all that much. We will all die in new ways because of self driving cars.
That and folks who drive drunk are actively not making a smart decision already. “I don’t need the car to drive me home. I’m fine” that’ll be the new last words. Anyone who goes they’re too drunk to drive, don’t already, without having a self driving car.
I prefer we keep doing all those things if we can figure out how to make them harm less.

That might just be because you are getting older and value your time more.

I used to try every new app, every new service. I used to run Linux on my desktop. Doing those things was fun and challenging, but took time.

I have kids now. I value spending time with them over fiddling with the latest app or spending an hour tuning my kernel so I can run my window manager at max resolution. I use a Mac and it just does that for me now, albeit with far less customizability and fun, but that is the tradeoff I'm willing to make.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'm saying your sample group has an age bias. :)

Funny, I had a lot of overlap in this kind of smart data quantizing when I was trying to build a venue page crawler that would intelligently mete out live music event dates, times and locations. I realized about 20% into the project I'd need some form of machine learning and then bailed.

It's so interesting how genetics and data science are changing taxonomy. Instead of biologists classifying species into families and the like based on observable attributes, now we are seeing computers do the classification with experts forming theories about why the results turned out a certain way.
me too, it's amazing how such a simple tool can make you really take advantage of your minds potential. Spaced repetition is an invaluable learning tool.
They did talk about spaced repetition, which Anki implements.
I think it's no coincidence that it's also one of the most liberating

On an open highway, sure. In rush hour gridlock, it's awful.
Have you ever learned how to play an instrument? That’s a space where the effectiveness of spaced repition is obvious. It’s like there’s a maximum amount you can improve between sleep cycles.

> The trick is to not live in the suburbs if you can avoid it. They're money-sucking black holes

Interesting considering living in the city with anywhere near the same quality of life of living 5-10 miles away will cost 2-3x more money.

Outside of money, I'd much rather sit in my backyard and look at the marsh/water over seeing some drunk/high person passed out in front of my house.

I see you're in Europe which, based on my travels, is a much more city friendly place. Public transportation options are good, services are good, and based on my limited research there are still decent city apartments for reasonable prices. One day I play to live in Europe for a period of time and it will definitely be in a city.
I went looking for evidence that supports my conclusion hardly makes for a compelling case.

The initial supposition was largely based on price and a larger SSD than normal without considering the obvious reasons.

The pixel Chromebooks have always been expensive, so no surprise there. Likewise, loads of people (myself included) refused to spend thousands if the most local storage was 64gb with a horribly slow USB 2.0 SD card reader for expansion. I remember reading (a Reddit IMA IIRC) that they wanted a larger drive, but couldn't because reasons.

I'm seriously considering getting one now that my biggest objections are gone and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Question about AngelList, did you bother with their built-in coding challenge that they are pushing? Or did you just start applying?
I find so many things wrong with this article.

This is coming from Indeed, which is a job searching site. I think its fair to infer that younger people would always look for jobs more than older people since younger people are just getting out of college and/or trying to figure out what really interests them by job hopping. I would imagine an older developer that has already his/her interests figured out, and has a network built out would visit a site like Indeed less.

I'm only 26, so you would think that I'm the "prime" years of my career, but I work for a large enterprise tech company, where I'm the only one under 40 on my team. I would say the average age overall is around 40 for the people that sit around me. They all seem to like place they work, and much more relaxed about their career future compared to me or my friends that are still deciding what we want to do.

Things get a little better if you use the new Web Crypto APIs. They can act kind of like a virtual hardware security module from a web page's point of view: with the web crypto API, you can create and use an encryption key (symmetric or asymmetric) whose key material can never be exposed to javascript. The browser keeps the key material completely private from the web page, but lets the web page use the key for certain crypto operations.

This means that if a website uses this and generates a key through the Web Crypto API on the first access, the user only needs to trust the site on the first access (to serve javascript that actually uses the Web Crypto API) in order to trust that the key material stays safe. (However, if the website admin turns evil and wants one of the user's files to be decrypted, they could serve javascript to the user that silently makes them decrypt the file for the admin, so the problem isn't completely solved.)
Superintelligence FAQ
Startups have also seemed to have morphed from ventures started by founders, to vehicles for investors to make long plays for monopoly control of a market, like Uber and Netflix. I am not sure of the laws regarding dumping and artificially low prices, but when startups operate at a loss for years and gobble up the entire market, that looks like what they're doing.
The Betfair prices depend on market depth. It's data available through the API, so you can have a pretty good idea of what price you will be able to strike for any given bet size.

My experience with traditional bookmakers has been severely limited or closed accounts very quickly. I haven't used a traditional bookmaker for a few years now, betting solely on the exchanges and 90% of the time with Betfair. I do still have a Corals account, which was somewhat un-restricted through leveraging a contact within the company, but I think my max bet is only £200. As I haven't used it for while, I don't like the chances of it staying that way if I started pumping winning bets through it.

There have been various investigations conducted on Betfair prices, and they are usually a few ticks above traditional bookmaker odds. However, the over round on highly liquid Betfair markets is only 1%-2%, whereas a traditional bookmaker is generally significantly higher, more like 110%-120%, depending on the event.

One way to extract the best results from traditional bookmarkers, as far as horse racing is concerned, is to bet with Best Odds Guaranteed. In this scenario, you'll receive a winning payout at the highest price the selection reached, rather than the price at which you struck your bet. This works best in overnight markets, that is placing bets the night before the race. However, this route is also one of the quickest to restriction and closure.

Something you're neglecting to account for is that there's more to driving than simply moral hazards and safety. There's also the matter of liability and financial risk.

While it may be arguable that it's morally preferable and safer to adopt self-driving cars if they can be shown to reduce the incidence of accidents by any amount compared to human drivers, it isn't desirable for the corporate entities producing vehicles capable of fully autonomous operation to make them a mass market product until it is remarkably safer to ride in an autonomous vehicle compared to a human-operated vehicle.

One of the biggest boons for automakers in the status quo is that the liabilities associated with operating their products is mostly distributed to the users. From a financial risk perspective this is a massively preferable operating model (and not dissimilar from what you see with 'disruptors' in the consumer space like Uber, Air BnB, etc). When we remove the primary cause of faults while driving from the picture (the human agent operating the vehicle), the distribution of risk that has generally protected automakers in the past disappears. When an autonomous vehicle crashes, the automaker now must fend off claims about vehicle features (sensors, software, etc.) that will in some way be directly responsible for causing traffic accidents.
If something seems stable enough to try to make a career around, sure, nothing wrong with that. I'm just saying there's very little for which that is true. 40 years ago was 1977. You can find the help wanted ads here:

https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1977/10/23/iss... (p 370-395 or so)

The ads I can find there include Computer Console Operator ("must be able to operate 370/145 and 370/418 under DOS/VS with power"), Network Control Analyst ("3 yrs exp troubleshooting lines, modems, and multiplexors"), Keypunch Operator. Programmer and Programmer Analyst positions requiring COBOL, RPG II, Fortran IV, and a lot of assembler. And IBM was its own job category.

And relational DBA is a great example. That used to be a serious job, one with prestige and promise. People were even specific about vendors; one was an Oracle DBA or a Sybase DBA. But now that's in decline. These days programmers are supposed to understand data migrations and transactional thinking. The notion of submitting requests to the DBA department worked in the days of 6-18 month release cycles, but not today. Relational databases themselves are commoditized, going from a central technology to a peripheral one. Does Google even have a relational database running anywhere these days?

Basically the only job title that has lasted is programmer, and even that has changed almost beyond recognition. Maybe we've now plateaued, and jobs will be stable for the next 40 years. But I doubt it. "Virtual server" is a phrase like "radio with pictures" or "horseless carriage". Its a sign that we know things are changing, but we don't know where they're going yet.

Educate? The only thing between me and a home cooked meal is fast food. Cooking is not inaccessible.

If the only problem is nutrition education then that is not a rich person privilege.

Hackers or bugs in software can already kill you - a modern car is a computer with an engine attached. You think that pedal is any more advanced than a scroll mouse?

Congress already passes laws controlling when, where and how you may travel and you may be effectively blacklisted today by insurance companies, courts or police officers for a range of reasons. Do you honestly think that you are entitled to roads wherever you want and your license can never be revoked and insurers can't charge what they want?

Half of the total lifetime emissions of a car are in the driving of it. Autonomous vehicles open up the opportunity for an Uber-esque experience where you're less likely to buy a car and just rent it for when you need it: most people actively need a car for less than 10% of the total time that they own one for. That means significant environmental gains will come from lower demand for car manufacturing. How is that a problem?

Sprawl "getting worse" is another way of saying housing becomes more affordable as it does not need to be so concentrated. City centres will become more comfortable, communities will become more connected.

And finally, if there is one area that will cause a boon for investment by autonomous cars, it's mass transit: driverless buses, trams and trains, will all allow for more money to be spent on more vehicles and the net price of using these services will drop as the cost of employing, training and managing driving staff is reduced.

We can go around and around on this: it's happening, come to peace with it, and try and make sure we maximise the positives and reduce the negatives.

Note though, I did not counter the advertising thing. Tesla's T&Cs on their cars already suggest the owner does not really own the car. I think that's a problem. RMS in one of his more popular talks says he doesn't want software inside his microwave to Free because he would never want to modify it: I think a good argument can be made that if I buy a car that drives itself, I should be able to see and modify the source code.
(2012) Which is better: Many customers at low price-point or few at high price?
This should be a good reminder that the only way we can have safe and just criminal courts is that the evidence, techniques and technology used by experts and prosecution are public and reviewable. Whether it's the software that a dui measuring blood alchohol system uses, how they analyze your dna, it all needs to be public so we can measure things. I keep reading cases about how poor people get accussed of a crime and the "evidence" against them can't be understood or defended against because it's coming from unassailable experts with mystical skills.

A recent example I read about is the police trained to detect people high on drugs, where there is no real evidence behind the training and many known cases of false accusation, http://reason.com/blog/2017/05/12/georgia-pd-our-drug-recogn.... Most of us fortunate to work in the technology world have money and access to lawyers who can defend against such accusations, but poor people don't have that.

I am not a cop but I know it must be incredibly hard to be one, and frustrating to see people get off of on technicalities. But poor l.e. practices must be prevented so we can have trust in the system.
> GDPR has significant scope to enable DDOSing of commercial organisations with information requests

Another way of looking at it is that it adds significant incentives for organizations to make user data more easily accessible to users. There's no reason information requests _have_ to be expensive operations.

Electric autonomous vehicles will already be quiet without much effort compared to today's predominant ICE cars. And comfort, well... the absence of a steering wheel, the center console and all that will free up space for some nicer seats.

And today a lot of cars waste a lot of space on cargo space in situations where you're not carrying any cargo. With hailable fleets they could have a mix of vehicles with and without trunks, the trunkless ones offering more interior space for the passengers.

I don't see those general feature changes to be specific to manufacturer brands, they are more a feature set optimized for sale towards ride hailing services because they might not work as well for individually-owned cars.

From the article:

"We’re already seeing this. Consider Y Combinator, by all accounts the gold standard of startup accelerators, famously harder to get into than Harvard. Then consider its alumni. Five years ago, in 2012, its three poster children were clearly poised to dominate their markets and become huge companies: AirBnB, Dropbox, and Stripe. And so it came to pass."

"Fast forward to today, and Y Combinator’s three poster children are… unchanged. In the last six years YC have funded more than twice as many startups as they did in their first six — but I challenge you to name any of their post-2011 alumni as well-positioned today as their Big Three were in 2012. The only one that might have qualified, for a time, was Instacart. But Amazon broke into that game with Amazon Fresh, and, especially, their purchase of Whole Foods."

Look at the list of Ycombinator companies from the 2012 batch.[1] Where are they now?

I think the parent might mean that letting their customers talk, unguided by specific questions, results in feature requests. If you’re not a marketer, that’s usually how you interpret “talking to customers.” If you are a marketer, that sounds like useless nonsense. :)

I have a ridiculous urge to refactor this.

It's enumerating all of the boards, legal or not. Judging by the letters, it's doing one player's moves at first, in a way that's trying to avoid repeats. If I were to do this, I'd have, well, menace_x and menace_o, and build move n from move n-1. Depth-first would also work, really, as we're talking about only 300-ish boards.
