Maybe companies should flunk if they can’t train workers for jobs. In the US there is a tendency to put pressure on the educational system for EVERYTHING. Eating healthy, sex, keeping our STEM knowledge competitive with the Soviet Union, training a 100% perfect labor force for businesses, etc.
So are machine learning framework developers going to stop being so subservient to CUDA and start supporting OpenCL now?
I want to replace InfluxDB with it. Here's what we gain:

- Postgres' reliability. Influx is awful and I absolutely do not trust it; I've had far too much data loss and consistency issues with it.

- Postgres' internal tooling. Simple things such as "What is my largest measurement on disk" are not possible in Influx

- Simplified stack. Timescale makes good on that promise: We no longer would have to ship influxdb libraries for internal apps. Permissions are simplified as well.

- Hosted, managed metrics. Our InfluxDB instance is managed by ourselves and is a source of issues. Our RDS instance, comparatively, has always purred.

- More advanced operations, including the full power of Postgres user-defined functions. Influx doesn't even support dividing one value by another.

- Grafana support! It's finally here!!! :)
I think I'm on board with your "self-control is aversive" model. Practicing self control just, well, sucks, and makes me not want to do it anymore!

Not sure why the down vote. It does depend on the sponsor, which country you hold a dual citizenship with, and what level of clearance you are trying to obtain.

The below poster is incorrect. In order to move forward in the process in some cases you will need to formally renounce and physically destroy you foreign passport in front of your investigator.

I know that sounds bad, but keep in mind no one is forcing people to obtain a clearance.

I suspect GP is referring more to complexities in the gameplay, not loopholes (though I'm sure 5e has fewer of those, by nature of being less rules-heavy and more reliant on the GM's interpretation). For example, weird corner cases like grappling rules have been greatly simplified. So have skills, weapon selection, and combat rules in general.

As late as 3.5e and Pathfinder, you could easily spend 5 minutes figuring out how to resolve a single 6-second action according to the rules. Say I'm grappling someone (complex rules) and move them across rough terrain (5-foot step or not?) while threatened by an enemy combatant (attacks of opportunity) with while under a Bard buff (pluses to defense)… figuring out who attacks whom when and how can easily involve flipping to many different sections of the rule book. Whereas in 5e half those rules don't exist and the remainder are simplified.

My understanding (not from experience) is that previous editions had even more complex rules than 3.5e, and 4e simplified the rules in the "wrong direction" (away from role-playing).
Pretty awesome, bGlench! ;)

I wonder if a kind of hybrid programming would be possible which switches between this dataflow-like functionality for parts and more traditional ('large blocks of text'-based) techniques for other parts.

I was working on a simple framework a while ago where the highest-level organizational structure was a 'domain' and these domains would connect to one another via 'converters'. I think the dataflow format would work really well for defining and linking up domains, and small functions that do things like filtering would work well within converters—but then maybe within particular domains it's somewhat of a free-for-all again (i.e. you use traditional programming techniques). Just thought I'd share the idea on the off chance that it sparks something for ya—I'm not really doing anything with that project at the moment.

I'm also curious why you prefer the tabular format over something graph-based. Is it just that it's more straightforward for people to lay things out/organize?
Those are great points.

From that perspective it's very telling that the editor's/document's/spreadsheet's/product's name was taken from a long-time editor for the web, Coda.
> Note that there is no picker for <input type=time>. We decided not to support it since we think it’s easier and faster to enter a time using the keyboard than selecting it from a picker.

I've thought this so many times, even on my phone where typing is less accessible, I still prefer it over those analogue clock face inputs.

With such a clock input, I'll often hit the wrong time, either an hour/minute too late/early, due to my apparently fat fingers, or 12 hours wrong, because I live in a 24-hour-format region where normally on an analogue clock you read things in 12-hour-format and so my brain thinks "8 pm" and enters "8" when it should have chosen "20". That doesn't happen with typing, because digital clocks almost always display 24-hour-format.

And even worse, in an attempt to speed things up, someone came up with the ingenious idea of directly advancing from hour input to minute input as soon as some input has been made. So, my first few wrong inputs then mean that I have to find the way to get back to the hour selection multiple times.
Local control of housing and zoning should be taken away and placed at the State level or above. Over time that will probably become just as corrupt and it will need to revert to the local level again. I am amazed what people
will complain about on my Nextdoor group. There
is not one ounce of sacrifice in these people for even a 30 second increase in traffic or a change in the student:teacher ratio from 21:1 to 21.3:1. Maybe we’d have more money for schools if we didn’t keep having to deal with all the externalities developed by expensive housing and long commutes.

Reminds me of that lady in SF who opposed a housing development recently because she said it blocked the sunlight to her zucchini garden. Now many YIMBY groups are adopting the zucchini as their logo...
It's amusing how they threw 'millennial' in there too. We probably should start downweighting the M-word.

Looks like a neat little project.

Quick question; why not split the PHP file into index.html and upload.php (or whatever)? I get that simplicity is key ("This one file does everything!"), but you could use that to build a couple more features (maybe some sort of PIN protection). Just throwing some ideas out there, cool utility nonetheless.

Edit: And by splitting the file you could allow other people to build little frontends like native apps or browser extensions.

They state that Aurora "supports the same set of PostgreSQL extensions that are supported with RDS for PostgreSQL 9.6." Which is a yes. PostGIS version 2.3.2, I believe.

If you want to bring more women into your firm because you think they have some biological or sociological advantages over men in some areas then that's fine, do so. But look at the majority of posts in this thread, they're all about reducing gender bias. These other posts don't make sense in the context of an employer whose payroll is already proportional to the pipeline.

You're saying the opposite, that increasing gender bias will provide you with some economic benefit. At least what you're saying is rational and consistent.
Here's a related thought: what if the law stated something along the lines of, if DRM/hardware locks/etc prevent you or a 3rd party of your choosing from repairing, then the party who owns the lock should be responsible for the repairs (including costs)

Then a company can decide if they're in the business of licencing or selling, and make their decisions accordingly. it could also help establish a line between ownership of the device vs of the license.

I have AT&T Fiber - $70 a month all in no extra fees are taxes. Gigabit up and down theoretically. I can get 600Mbps/600Mbps on a bad day wired and 900 u/d on a good day. It's unlimited.

I'm not saying that wireless is a good alternative for everyone but I know a lot of people that could get away with the "unlimited" plans that carriers offer. In the future it could provide real competition.

The plans aren't throttled any more - as soon as you reach limit they automatically cut you down to 2G speeds, you are "deprioritize". Meaning that if you are in a heavily congested area, your speed will be lowered to give lighter users full access.

When we were between renting and buying we were in a place with horrible internet and we used our phones on t-mobile for everything - including streaming to an Apple TV. We used 70-150Gb per month mostly at night with no noticeable speed issues.

For technical reasons, I'm more accepting of wireless data limits than wireline. No matter how much a wireless carrier spends, they can't beat physics. There is a limit of how much data can be delivered over a certain spectrum (Shannon-Hartley theorem?)

I went and did the phone screens and in person. Took 2 weeks to reject me. I don't really mind a rejection, I thought the interview was pretty meh on my part.

Decided to try again a while later. They had me start at the phone screen stage again, then wanted me to do a second. Almost did it, called it off because I decided it just wasn't worth the trouble.

I've been rejected by other places but google just really annoyed me. I think it was the overwrought, slow, unpleasant process which produces high false negative rates but that they are also seemingly extremely proud of. Only place I wen to where they told me multiple times about how common it is to interview 2-3 times before getting in. I'm sure that happens at other places but they seem to treat it more as a flaw then a feature.

Anyway, I hate jumping through hoops. I'm hoping next job I can leverage people a bit more and maybe move through things a bit more quickly.
So why not just use another email client besides Gmail? And when you find one you like you can even set it as your default email client.
That lady may have purchased her place in order to have a sunlit garden. It's frustrating there's not an easy way for that housing development to simply compensate the gardener fairly for her loss of sunlight, along with everyone else nearby who is adversely affected. Of course, she could also be charged a fee for the benefits of increasing density -- more restaurant options, etc. -- according to how much she appreciates them. It's tough to calculate these things.

So many aspects of our society seem forced to either-or situations when some compromise would benefit all parties more.
I have been living in rural Kentucky for 4 months and casually asking farmers about the issues with John Deere tractors. They are all familiar with the problem but the ones I have spoken to seem to think it is necessary. I think these are smaller scale farmers, though. The heavy machinery mechanic next door disagrees, and says the company he works for buys a certification for the right to repair. I got the impression they somewhat depend on it. At least, he doesn't seem to put up a fuss. He is a neighbor so I didn't put him on the spot.

My guess is that it is about political will. If people in career services want a fief where "Guarding their gatekeeping function was of greater concern than doing their job." -- then it will take political capital to fight that. Depending on their incentives, university bosses might not bother.

But the Ivy League schools know that their bread is buttered by their ability to get students into elite positions, so they make sure their career services department gets things right. And have been doing so for so long that these departments do things right on their own.

“Most black people are lazy”

“Sort if that’s a sore point, I didn’t say all black people are lazy though”

What a joke of a reply. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Sure, dogma is not very useful. But when people ask "what should I use" saying "well, there are valid cases for everything" (like someone else in the thread basically did) does not help much either.
To me what is frustrating is the planned obsolescence can just as easily be accomplished by just abandoning software support. Many older phones will never have new software because cendors cannot (or will not) allow electronics to upgrade to a new kernel, functionally limiting it to an old one and limiting what it can upgrade to. I would like to see some sort of law where if the electronic is abondoned, the software can be relased to allow consumers to update it.
That's not a drop-in replacement for dynamic programming though, is it? Can you do something like edit distance with IP?
To be fair, amazon's actual cost in that case was probably predominately in the human time to review the case and credit the account. I doubt it cost them more than a few pennies in terms of cost of goods sold.
There's also the mental aspect of things. At some point I just want to "move on." As you lose loved ones (assuming we haven't cured all of death) and experience great sadness in life, you may not want to live in the torment of all your memories. Or maybe the positive memories out-weigh the bad ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A housing collapse hurts and could have unintended consequences.

There's no guarantee that allowing a collapse to happen would be better than what we have now. It's a very blunt instrument of economic management.

There may be other ways to sort out the problem. I believe we should focus on those.

> as a DM/GM I generally threw out the rules as soon as they got in the way of a good narrative.

5e seems to be designed with that in mind. Bonuses are largely replaced with the "advantage/disadvantage" system which gives the DM much more leeway in determining bonuses (beside simplifying the mechanism overall). Skills are greatly simplified and reduced in number, and partially replaced with "Backgrounds" which are 100% DM fiat.

Example from my first 5e session. "Use Rope" is gone, but my character has the "Sailor" background. So by DM fiat I was able to identify the condition of a rope. No dice involved.

> The very elitism the article is deploring is on full display when people seem to assume it's these top five schools, then a country full of drooling morons. That is not in fact how it works.

The fact that assignments are similar isn't evidence that "it's these top five schools, then a country full of drooling morons" is inaccurate. Perhaps the assignments are easy, and nobody cares about the quality of the program so much as the quality of the students.
It's a shame that none of the policy suggestions for something like this would leave Apple's Activation Lock unscathed.

Activation lock caused something like a sustained 50% drop in phone thefts the year it was implemented. Before that, stealing phones was starting to look like stealing shoes in the 90's. It even had its own slang, "apple picking".

I don't think we're going to see a crash, but a correction is definitely in order. Companies producing AAA games have been doing design by committee for a few years now, trying to distill its essence into a factory line product the same way movie studios give us the same Joseph Campbell plot in different skin over and over.

Still, you're probably right about the golden era and the difficulty of discovery. It's a shame game journalism is so corrupt.
For those company where school names open the door, it's still going to open the door for later jobs. Your previous employer names may also open the door. But many companies that hire only from top schools also hire only from top companies, or at least well known companies.
Yeah, that ride is over. Google's rep is fucked with a lot of top schools anymore. Don't get me wrong; it's still a good company to work for, but getting a job at Google in 2017 is like getting a job at Microsoft in 2007. And the recruiting process is so stupid that the best candidates don't bother.
Probably, but the skill system in 5e is totally different from 3.5e/Pathfinder. To me, 5e feels like it took the ideas behind the simplifications in Pathfinder and ran with them.

As an example, Pathfinder simplified lots of different combat rules under the Combat Maneuver system (CMB/CMD). 5e simplified them even more, simply as contested skill checks selected by GM fiat.
