It's a great program to write when you start learning machine learning, kinda like the next step to OCR.

Since it's hacker news just wondering what would be the best ML program to do it? Also as for datasets I think you can just download a huge ttf library from the net and write a program to render them into png files.
A Detailed Look at Why Mabl Chose Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Over AWS
Very interested in the role! But the e-mail provided didn't seem to work for me - is there another e-mail we should try?
> Would you mind sharing how long your browser was sending CSP reports to 3rd parties before you knew about it?

I'm not sure what you're asking - when did I become aware of this possibility? I guess when I learned about CSP?

> I personally was unaware this was possible until this issue came up, and a free pass through ad blockers to a 3rd party seems like an advertising/tracking company's dream come true.

Adblockers block requests to things like Google Analytics by matching the domain (and other patterns). Why is this not an acceptable solution for CSP? If tracking tools start using CSP for this, they'll be added to the filter lists, just like any other tracking script. We're not asking uBlock to block all third-party requests on the off-chance it might be an ad or tracking service, so why would we do that for CSP?

> Many of these are blocked by ad blockers in the default configuration.

Do you have a source for this? This would break a large number of sites. uBlock seems to have an experimental feature that mirrors certain popular CDN URLs locally, but it doesn't seem to be enabled by default and the Wiki page hasn't been updated in over two years. AIUI, even with this feature enabled, requests to non-popular (non-local) assets would still go through.

They also had a strong embargo enforced by different countries that prevented them from signing any deals involving mainframes, it must be said.
If every military contractor was as good as SpaceX there would be no problem. It’s not crony capitalism or a monopoly just because the government is your primary customer.

The military contractors (“defense contractor” is doublespeak like DoD) are actually bribing generals and congressmen while SpaceX competes on technology and price. They’re bringing the price down on space launches which is a major strategic goal of the US military. They’ve got some cool shit to put up there but a lot of it is not yet economically feasible even with their budgets.

Like any webapp they analyzed their paint times and made great performance improvements.

From the data structures of how they store lines and tokens of currently edited files, scrolling, refreshing changes on the screen etc they analyze perf, see what can be optimized and make it happen. Very few teams put perf above features at MS. Vscode is exceptional in that sense.

Also vscode uses processes quite a bit. The main app lives on one process, the language servers are all different processes, extensions are different processes etc. all communicating over jsonrpc

This means the main editor cannot get clogged by an extension hanging up or crashing.

Uh, what about the Arab Spring? Modern communication technology is what enabled those revolutions.

In China, policies like the great firewall exist because the internet does challenge the central government. China is stable because 1.) people are happy with the CCP's economic results, 2.) the state controls large Chinese tech companies, and 3.) the government regularly "disappears" vocal dissenters. Expect a state crackdown if their economy starts crumbling.
Oh, so you're just ignoring the Red Terror? Or the murder of the Cossacks before Stalin came to power? Lenin never murdered anybody?

The failings of the Soviet Union are the failings of an ideology whose explictly stated goal was the overthrow of every existing social institution. Stalin merely implemented the Bolshevik vision on a much grander and bloodier scale.

Unless your argument is that the Bolsheviks were wrong (which would include people before Stalin).

I agree that there is no "perfect" interview process, but I have seen from experience that there are ways to go about it that reduce the crappiness for both sides, beyond what a lot of "top" companies are currently doing.

How about sticking with standard phone-screen/on-site process, but emphasizing writing real code, on a computer, solving realistic software engineering problems? I've interviewed at several companies (including one of the "big four") that took this approach and found it was the best overall balance IMO. You get evaluated in a more realistic setting than a whiteboarding interview, but takes the same amount of time an also doesn't depend on "side-projects" or "take-home" assignments.

Some general examples from my own experience:

- Here's a poorly-written / buggy program: Find the bugs and do some refactoring

- Here's a loose spec for a small program: Spend an hour designing & coding it up (on your own, no one looking over your shoulder the whole time), and then walk through it with the interviewer AFTERWARD and explain your design / answer their questions about it.

I think that’s a given here
All valid points about the sell-side in general. I used to work there. That being said, a downgrade is usually the last resort for an analyst, because they don't want to risk angering the management teams they interact with.

It's so strange how people think the main thing wrong with poverty is lack of material goods or entertainment.
It obviously fluctuates with the economy. For example, in 2009, I spent 8 months with not a single chargeable hour.

What has changed the most is the nature of the work and being able to work remotely. 30 years ago most people who "ended up" being syadmin were people who coulnd't write software. There was a lot of demand but very few people who were willing to commit to what looked like a "career for failed programer". Nobody would go to university with the hope to become sysadmins. Then sysadmin became a sought after job. People did mix of IT and CS in uni in the hope to become sysadmins. Then it became a commodity. Then it sort of disappeared. These days there is a lot of demand for "DevOps" (which means different things to different people). If you're interested in both the ops part, and the delivering software in the most automated way possible part, there is work out there.

Until 5 or 6 years ago, nobody, or at least very few people, were hiring remote workers. It still isn't the majority, but you can find remote contracts if you look really hard for them.

To give you an idea, 30 years ago I was the sole sysadmin (for UNIX machines) in a software lab, and was in charge of 5 AIX servers. These days I tend to be part of a small team and working on CI/CD pipelines, controlling resources and security on public and private clouds, help with the architecture of some solutions (CDNs, type of stores (redis vs S3 vs...) etc... You do need to adapt.

When I receive calls from recruiters asking if I know anybody who could do the same type of work, I contact my old sysadmin friends who often haven't worked for a few months, some of them who are often younger than me, they say they are not interested in that DevOps and those cloud things, they want to stay sysadmin, and some of them like to blame ageism for their lack of finding work.

I'd never seen that 2nd half of the quote.

It's interesting how the full quote played out. Trump supporters assumed the deplorables she was talking about was a smear against them personally, rather than identifying with the 2nd half of the quote.

But then they also never heard the 2nd half of the quote as much as the 1st.

....still, an incredibly inpolitic statement.
