Apply even if you think you're not qualified.
Let them make the decision not you.
You'd be surprised the inconsistency alot places have between the job posting and what they'll settle for,esp if you're passionate and willing to learn.

They may even create a new Junior developer position for you until you learn what you need to.

Tech talent is SO tight that alot of places will hire someone with passion and train them up.

If you get an interview sell them with your passion and excitement to learn. Maybe give yourself a week before the interview and research their tech stack and do a little project.

If they give you a tech assignment that you can do from home...just crush it. Dockerize it, make a fully functioning app out of it.etc etc. Make it wayyyy past their expectations.

Even if you don't get the position you have a project to add to your GitHub.

That's my best advice. Apply even if you're underqualified. And show extreme passion for the company and tech stack.

Also apply to tons and tons of jobs. Your new job if you're unemployed..is applying to jobs. Apply 8 hours a day using every resource you can. Be willing to move anywhere.
It may take a month or two but you'll get a position. The US economy is trillions of dollars. The number of tech companies and business that use tech is in the hundreds of thousands.
You're chances are way better than you realize.
Using backticks seems like an anti-pattern to me, where you want to be correct, but are only going half-way. If you want to be correct, you can use the Unicode characters that specifically denote beginning and ending quotations, in both single and double tick versions. If you don't care about being correct, just using the default ASCII single or double quote suffices. I wasn't sure why someone would purposefully use backticks in that way in what appears to be an attempt to accurately express themselves, and not appreciate the knowledge that there is a more correct way to do so.

That it's a LaTeX habit does provide an explanation, but then the information that there may be a better way when using Unicode might also be appreciated for someone that does not know. I would appreciate being informed of that if I wasn't aware.

In any case, I tried to be informative and relay that it was my own problem that compelled me to reply, but I wasn't aware I was being excitable enough to need to "chill out". I tried to word it in a way to avoid people thinking I was getting worked up, and show that I just felt compelled to contribute. Unfortunately that didn't seem to come across.
Maybe wise though. Biting off http2 on both sides in a load balancer all at once might not be smart. Especially at the same time as multithreading.
False. The lawyers are there to protect the company.
I use the same stack most of the time in my professional work and I'm currently looking heavily at kubernetes to reduce the "size" of my smallest working deployment for complex systems.

Instead of rolling several AWS autoscale groups or elastic beanstalk deployments, I'll simply deploy one autoscaling kubernetes cluster using the well supported tools for doing so, and then leverage the best of what AWS provides such as RDS, EBS, and most importantly for future rapid prototyping EFS, adding EFS as a shared flat file system across multiple automatically scaling docker containers is extremely effective for testing out ideas without the complexity of using S3. The unix philosophy of "it's all files" but at massive scales.
Fumbled that, meant to say "Over twice the range at less than twice the capacity"- ie it's more efficient per kWh despite being larger. Unfortunately I can't edit any more.
It's not that anyone is "forgetting it". Right now Apple's chosen way of making money - charging more than its competitors so it doesn't have to collect and sell users data (Google) or install third party crapware on its devices (almost every OEM) aligns with my interests.

I am not bombarded with ads when I use iMessage on my Mac like I am when I use Skype on my Windows PC.

Apple has built in support for third party ad blockers. Google would never develop a system to allow ad blockers in Chrome for Android.

Yes. I'm lucky to have invested in June 2011, six years ago, when the price of bitcoin was around ten dollars[1].

I've never sold because I still believe in the long-term potential of Bitcoin.

I'll clarify my comment though. The object is really a model that's shaped like a turtle but with pictures of rifle parts on it. It's neither a rifle nor a turtle. Both human and computer are too confident in their classification and both are just as wrong.

Yes, not having to worry about any of that is primary reason for managed services.
Not to be all "both sides tho," but I think you're both right. I code on blockchain stuff from time to time, and it's both really awesome for the decentralized no-trust part and straight-up nonsense for entire categories of problems that would be better solved off-chain. The hype machine is crazy and driving things toward the blockchain that absolutely don't belong there. ("Uh, do you need a blockchain, or do you just need to cryptographically sign something, and you've never thought about cryptography before today?") There are still some very interesting untapped possibilities that aren't better-served by any centralized system yet.
GE had that policy for management (not the whole company), for a limited time.
If a proof of work solution is economically valuable to solve, the hashrate will just increase to the point where it's just marginally profitable again.
The problem then becomes how do you determine the 'real' Ethereum. For Bitcoin, it is generally understood as the blockchain with the most proof of work.

With proof of stake, what's the disincentive to participate in all forks, or even a large number of alternate histories. If there are multiple Ethereum blockchains using PoS, how can I as a new user determine which one is 'the' Ethereum?

>> It is very naive to think that AI programs in most of universities is anything other than writing code and pretty lousy one.

Are you speaking from experience? Because my own experience from my degree and Master's AI courses and lectures is completely different to what you describe. Particularly during my Master's, code was only incidental; the meat and potatoes of each and every lecture was theory.

It depends of course on the quality of the teaching in a given institution, but, for instance, you can find here the lecture notes from Oxford's Deep NLP course:

https://github.com/oxford-cs-deepnlp-2017/lectures

As you will see, it's anything but just code, or lousy such. Of course, that's Oxford, their teaching is world-class- but most AI courses I've found on the internet are similar in scope.

Really, it's pointless trying to teach AI with "just code" - because in AI you can't really code much, unless you understand the theory.

>> In 5 years today's ML/AI PhDs would be in the same peculiar position as PhDs of genetic sequencing.

I think what you're saying is that in 5 years, people knowing Tensor Flow or Torch will be a dime a dozen.

Perhaps- but someone will still need to figure out some way to acquire new knowledge.

Also, it bears repeating that AI is not just statistical machine learning and statistical machine learning itself is not just deep learning. AI is a broad field with communities focused on many different subjects. Just as an example you can find information on, easily, try probabilistic programming.

Awesome can I buy an adversarial tshirt?
It's a great paper, for sure. But using Chopra as an example was somewhat a cheap shot. I mean, many people rather suspects that he's bullshitting. But why not Buddha, Zen masters, etc? As I understand it, ambiguity creates space for introspection and contemplation. Maybe people who don't get that hear them as bullshit.
I thought the point was about exploitation, not absolute monetary values?

Because if we're going for absolute money amounts, we might as well all give up on any sort of career in technology and shift our focus to getting some managerial position in a big corporation, somewhere- that's where the money's at.

They burn it that fast because it brings more money in the future and they have funds reserve. Their net loss is getting smaller proportionally to the revenue constantly. They could stop capital investments any moment and be profitable, but that would mean much slower growth later.

There's nothing cheaper than proof of work:
http://www.truthcoin.info/blog/pow-cheapest/

The real reason Eth and others are going with proof of stake is that it locks up coins and thus dries up liquidity... this is a way to pump the coin price.

It doesn't provide the same level of security as Proof of Work, and the idea that Proof of work is somehow bad because it uses electricity is nonsense.

That's like saying we need to stop digging gold up out of the ground because its expensive, and we should just trade paper receipts for virtual gold.

The above post is not an actual technical argument (notice its logic is circular) and is just the type of typical FUD pumping of Ethereum you get from ethereum people.

NO it is not. Inflation does not mean growing money supply. It means money supply growing faster than the real economy that transacts on that money. Bitcoin money supply may be growing but not fast enough to accomodate the demand. So it is deflating.

How? Who decides?

This is really where every PoS algorithm seems to break down. The whole idea of blockchain is to build a decentralized consensus, and PoS just handwaves it away.
I appreciate you thinking of an example, but I guess I find it a bit convoluted.

Couldn't you also refactor that by changing the constructor of your temperature class so it converts things to Kelvins, rather than converting it every time you call the getter?

Oh, yeah definitely. Blockchains are for if you care about decentralized systems. And you pay a whole lot to get that one feature.

If you don't care about that one feature, decentralized blockchains are strictly worse on a number of metrics.
Sibling comments are on target but also the "relational" advantages of storing your data in a database.
This is what I like about Rebol & Red...pity Rebol didn't catch on more. The full Rebol download is a single executable (no real install) and can build GUIs, and so much more in a very small amount of code.
Good point, sorry, that was pedantic.

But I've actually kind of been thinking about that, too. Think about how much 'magic code' most 'hello world' tutorials have that you're told to just ignore. That can also be off-putting when there's too much of it.

I wonder if there's a happy medium for introducing the basic concepts, like starting with microcontroller assembly instead of 'std::cout << "hello, world";'.

Then you won't have to explain things like '#include' because your students will already know that it just means 'pretend I copy/pasted file X here' from when they learned how to make an LED blink.

Anyways, I guess this particular resource does look like it struck a pretty happy middle ground for beginners. I just hope they don't get discouraged trying to branch out with self-teaching; there are a lot of byzantine 'gotcha's with graphics APIs and parallel stuff.
Not that nice compared to kotlin:

Why? What other spending matter is put to the vote, like that? I don't know about the US, but in the UK at least, voters vote for a government, then the government publishes a budget. Voters don't get any finer control than that.

The max block size for bitcoin went from 1mb to 4mb in August of 2017. The ONLY reason it took so long is that the courtesy signaling that core put in for miners was used as a veto as part of this anti-bitcoin effort to try and increase centralization. Please at least familiarize yourself with the oppositions arguments before stating conclusions like this.
Both Scala and C++ have a set of type-system features that when combined allow you create functions whose return type can depend on the value of the passed argument. For a good step by step of how to do this in Scala see here[1], and a (unfortunately less in depth) C++ example is here[2].

Why not just make a new 2mm-1.5mm port and ship 3.5mm to 2mm adaptors with all phones? I know it would easier to bend but I feel like they would be pretty cheap to replace the adaptors and could be designed so that they break in such a way that you could pull the broken end from the phone. You could also have high grade titanium reinforced plugs/adaptors.
I like to think of Thiel as someone who has access to Facebook, rather than a person. Besides - It's not clear how much of a person is left in the face of such a pool of legitimate signals.

The tendency of the signals to reach a resonant frequency is another matter...

Basically, follow Thiel, he wasn't wrong throwing down with Trump ... another way of saying it ... I don't think it was because of what he believes in.
With "constraint programming" languages, do you mean languages such as MiniZinc that provide dedicated syntax for some tasks?

I am asking because support for constraint programming is among the most important and most distinguishing features of common Prolog systems: All widely used Prolog systems (GNU-Prolog, SICStus etc.) ship at least with a constraint solver over integers, and often with many more, such as constraints over Herbrand terms (dif/2), constraints over rational numbers and also constraints over Boolean variables (SAT constraints).

So, support for constraint programming is typically provided also natively by Prolog systems, with a simple and also very expressive syntax that blends in seamlessly into Prolog like any other relation.

There was a recent HN discussion about why Prolog is not yet more popular:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14439137

In my view, Prolog implementations are now becoming interesting because they are now quite robust, feature-rich and also reasonably efficient.

To play devil's advocate: why is it dark? If an AI can process significantly more data than us humans to find actionable intelligence is that not a good thing? Imagine a building is on a strike list and the intelligence on it needs to be revetted. An analyst pulls in SIGINT, GEOINT, OSINT, HUMINT, etc. The analyst has 48 hours to get his products uploaded for battlefield commanders to make an air strike or not. The analyst can't possibly process all the data in time. The analyst assesses it's a weapons cache based on what they can process. In reality, it was a makeshift hospital. This is how mistakes happen in war.
