> I don't give a crap if you've already used React, Redux, Express, whatever new flavor of the months are coming. If you're 23 and actively using them, odds are you're still going to be worth much less to my team than someone 40 who has to pick them up their first couple months but can immediately contribute valuable, hard-earned broadly-applicable timeless lessons about how to build and operate software.

Just as the majority of 23 year olds are what you are imagining (inexperienced, know-it-alls, chasing the latest fad, etc.) I would say the majority of 40 year old programmers are just as useless in the other direction.

Maybe not on HN where everyone is above average, but in the flyover states it's absolutely the case. Exceedingly few 40+ year old programmers around these parts I'd describe as holding a relevant modern skillset or holding any interest whatsoever in updating their knowledge or trying to stay competitive. It's almost universal derision over the "flavor of the month" until 10-15 years down the road when they realized flavor of the month turned into Linux and all they have left is bitterness over being left behind.

Just as you have the hiring skills to weed through the huge cruft of useless candidates of your preferred type, some hiring managers hold the skills to wade through the cruft of young hipster bros and find the gems as well. The 80/20 rule typically applies to all things in life.

So put another way - in the end, I'd say it all roughly evens out in my experience. I think age is an extremely poor metric for productivity, and it really depends on the specific individual.

I say all this as someone much closer to 40 than 20.
We used riot.im for 2-3 participants and it worked fine.

Maybe somebody has more experience with it?
Rails, without a doubt. Don’t waste your time on Django and all the Node stuff is just a mountain of distractions.

(I’ve been doing this for over a decade. At one point I was a Django zealot and avoided Rails like the plague. Boy was I wrong)
is this hosted on Softlayer/Bluemix? if so hit me up if you need help getting more servers in different locations or have any network or load balancer performance related questions (I am a net. eng. for Bluemix infrastructure)
"I spent some time in Tokyo and found the subway both amazingly useful and cheap"

I like getting around cities by public transit too, but Tokyo Subway system is rather complicated and expensive. You pay by distance in pretty granular fashion and there are several private companies operating, and not always compatible.

Seoul subway system is basically flat rate and much simpler, with free transfer to buses.
I think it's easy to get hung up on the means (that each authored). But as we know, the prediction business is a tough one.

For example, Orwell (in 1984) focused on the filtering, manipulation, constriction and reconstruction of information in order to continuouly redraw the history / truth. But today the truth is something that's often just as fuzzy because we're overwhelmed with too much information and too many distractions. Different means, same ends (read: confused and manipulated proles).

But it's the ends that matter. Both Huxley and Orwell have warned us. The irony is, at this point, too few are paying attention.
This is great! Looking for to using it.
Baby Bidet already exists if you have a pull out faucet on your sink..

There’s at least a few factual issues in the article. The big one I noticed is that it attributed the update framework to Docker. Which isn’t true at least historically.

10 Powerful Ways to Grow Your Business Using Facebook Lead Ads
I love uberconference and use it whenever call reliability is really important because participants can always dial-in in the worst case scenario.

One interesting edge case I ran into with uberconference was that I was trying to setup a sales call with someone behind an onerous corporate firewall that blocked all P2P traffic, and their connection to uberconference. The only solutions that were known to work on their network were Zoom and Webex.
Voting machine makers explain what they do to make sure no one hacks the vote
I'm guessing the big innovation here would be developing useful diagnostics that skew towards high specificity at the expense of lower sensitivity. Additionally, If you're collecting a bunch of datapoints much more frequently than current screening/testing regimes, You would need some smarter averaging to find trends and weed out many, if not all false positives.

I think Reliable, cheap, user friendly medical diagnostics would be a game changer, but of course the data analytics to make good use would be different than how current, one-off, medical testing is treated.
Probably not better but have you tried Tora (https://github.com/tora-tool/tora/wiki) or Dbeaver (Eclipse based) or Henplus (universal db shell)?
Generally, quite a lot, as long as you stay dry. I spent 8 straight hours outside shooting pictures while standing - and occasionally lying down - on a frozen lake in northern Canada in January. It was -25C / -13F. I was perfectly comfortable, although I did have to repeatedly switch batteries with ones that I'd been keeping inside my coat.

Goal was to get pictures like this: https://goo.gl/images/imXCMy

> ...a PoC can be negatively affected by racism...

> ...that isn't the result of a racist act...

Here, again, the words "racism" and "racist" mean two different things. I'm not sure why there's so much hesitance to just call the different things by different names.

Also, nobody has minimized anything. I don't think clarity in communication promotes injustice or ignorance. On the contrary, actually.
>>Somehow we have confused people who stitch together software from pieces of "magic" that they do not understand with engineers.

Exactly, this is like saying carpenters get obsolete every few years because wood pieces with new joints come in every few years.

>>It normally boils down to those people being willing to work longer hours for less money.

And for naivety, you can easily sell stories like 'work for great exposure' to newly arrived kids.
Agreed. People take sick days for reasons other than getting sick.
This is great, I've been thinking about this idea for years (as an outsider) and I just love that you've brought the challenges to this idea front and center.
Tesla Semi
Cold/heat exposure are great, cold water immersion in particular. I've observed positive effects on my physical recovery.

But I have not seen a comment here warning that cold water immersion is absolutely not something you should try for the first several times alone, even in very shallow water (IE a bathtub). The risk of entering shock/going unconscious and drowning is non-trivial.
Well to have that economy we need transparency (read: the open availability of essential data/information).

On top of that we need awareness that such tools exit.

And on top of both of those we need a universal belief that this "stack" is an enabler and that enpowerment can have impact; that the little guy/ gal do matter.

Currently, best I can tell, we're lacking quite a bit at all three levels.

In that outsiders who see the code are amazed people still proudly ship this glorp?
Yeah, I guess that they are still looking for the killer app. For a while, it looked like they could be deployed as military mules; but they were too loud (due to the internal combustion engine) for that purpose. So, what can they do?

Meantime, for $7.25/hour, you can hire a human that (hopefully) understands spoken words, and can do jobs requiring fine hand motor skills, e.g. pick-and-pack in warehouse, or serve meals and drinks, stock shelves, flip burgers etc. Boston Dynamics robot cannot do any of that. It can walk over difficult terrain, and flip, but who needs that?

Perhaps they should focus on the "hands/arms" parts (as opposed to legs). Industrial robots don't use legs, they are fine with wheels and rails. Also legs are not really what stands apart - cheetahs and horses and mice can use their legs better than humans, but so what. What matters is hands - opposable thumbs, and so on.

> YOU'RE BUILDING A HARDWARE FRONT-END TO EBS? You guys are insane!

It seems more likely that they've put in a software device model of NVME as a replacement for the BlkBack software device model that the BlkFront driver talked to. Not much different than the software e1000 NIC that xen/qemu already supports.

That said, with their virtualizable Annapurna wonder-NIC, they could be doing it in "hardware", though even in that case a reasonable part of the device model would be software, just running on a NPU, not a CPU.

Hopefully Amazon will disclose more details.
This is a different but similar problem. The wearhouse employees mark pretty much every return as "sellable" and put it on the shelf if it's in the box it came in. Even if the return reason is "tried it and it doesn't work." Leads to a lot of people getting returned items.

I wrote this is a comment last week:

>Several years ago I sold a memory card via FBA. The buyer returned the card, they said they were returning it because of a defect, they said "card slows down significantly after it gets half full." Amazon's wearhouse receives the return, they mark it as sellable, and then sell it (as new) again!! Clearly its not new, the problem was evident only from using it!...If the return reason is "defective," why would mark as sellable ever be possible?
Yes that's true. But Docker did popularize it, at least that's how I initially read about it.

It's exciting to see that TUF is now a CNCF project.
And in contrast, the EU explicitly allows exit. So it’s not a very good comparison.
Yes. That's exactly your comment parent's point.
I wonder how this interacts with submodule-style dependencies.
In the case of the AI for dogs, I wonder if the person who suggested this owns a dog. If so, it seems rather bizarre. Dogs are not particularly cryptic. They're relatively easy to read if you put your phone down and pay attention to them. Humans and dogs have been communicating for thousands of years. The idea that an AI would have greater canine emotional intelligence than a human is dubious.
Back in college (late 90's) I did collaborative class project (in Z notation) with XEmacs and a partner on a remote X server. It actually worked as long as one of us wasn't in the minibuffer.

TLDR; 3000 participants study that asked them to do cold showers for 30-90 seconds each day for 1 month. Main difference shown was ~30% reduction in sick days they took.

Comparing C++ to Frankenstein is a bit of a dis-service to the time spent developing this language.

There's some bad innards from C compatibility, but that's only a small sliver of the overall language. The language overall is very big, but has a high level of consistency and.... dare I say orthogonality.

The open-ness of the language at the outset, especially around the breadth of available overloading, means that future improvements can work in an extremely wide space. It's one of the few languages that stays true to the "every type is a class, no type is special" philosophy.

It's powerful stuff and gives you more control than you can find almost anywhere else, especially with the more modern improvements that pull in a lot of goodies from other languages.

I'd say the biggest wart is the compiler-linking process... the fact that the preprocessor is still a thing is rough.
I live in a metro center 90 mins outside of Sydney CBD - I absolutely despise the train network it is expensive and perennially delayed. At least here locally trains occasionally won't even show up no announcement or anything just no train at the station. Due to funding cuts our local station isn't staffed anymore so you can't ask anyone whats going on just a bunch of people left on platform scratching their heads when train doesn't arrive nothing you can do except wait for next train.

I fly to Melbourne fairly regularly. Any trip that touches airport line adds about $15 to the fare because some genius decided it was a good idea to privatize the airport line. I spend almost a third of my airfare cost just on travelling to airport.
Is it even possible to create such a system? The psychological flaws these companies are exploiting are built into every human being.
The converse is possibly even more interesting: what tech were you convinced would fail but took the world by storm?
I did this for a while. It’s good for increasing your brown fat.
Really tragic. I toured their SF facilities and was really impressed with the seriousness of their equipment. Definitely a huge leap above the average maker shop.

Ultimately the high price wasn't what held me back from joining, but the tool use policies required by their insurers. You had to pay for a brutally waitlisted class before they'd let you use so much as a laser cutter. I wonder how much this contributed - both the cost of insurance and its consequences - to their decline.
It's nvme. The GEOM disks (which are what you want to use) show up as /dev/nvd#.
WTF? It's just a countdown and a place to enter an email. Why would I want to give my email to Tesla without having any idea what this is about?
My guess is the cost is too high. First Adwords is an auction. Then you have to deploy to the billboard which requires an ad of suitable format and then someone to design and put it up. Maybe electronic billboards would work? I would think adwords inside video games would be good.. or live tv events (e.g. soccer matches).
I frequented the Redwood City location but bailed after the expansion. Or rather, I bailed after everyone else who I mooched knowledge off of bailed. Still, it was great while it lasted. Ace Monster Toys is similar in the East Bay.

That's because they're designed in Germany now.

What it's about isn't exactly secret. Tesla has built an electric semi (truck). This is them unveiling it... in 15 minutes.

thus spoke the manual nvme(4):
"The nvme driver creates controller device nodes in the format /dev/nvmeX and namespace device nodes in the format /dev/nvmeXnsY."

it's been a while since i've had access to nvme gear but it "just worked" at the time - although my use case was for a a daemon that accessed the block device directly to do its own horrible things to it.

They're unveiling a semi(truck). I agree about the sign-up, I'd rather not (and won't). But it's quite clear what is being revealed.
Tax avoidance is a felony.. so there is that.
You have given me a whole other perspective to an aws customer. I spend a lot on aws (70k/m +) but id be happy if i had core2duo cpus!

What sort of work do you have that requires the latest generation ? Or more why do you want the latest ?

Id expect aws to always be behind the ball - are they the right platform for you?

Gce is interesting, im moving half of my infra over there - but again its not really about their hardware offerings. Its more about being multi cloud/redundant
There are already robots being used for mine sweeping, bomb disposal, nuclear reactor inspection, even mars rovers. They all make do with just wheels, or sometimes rails.

It is not clear if adding legs to the above robots would make them any better.
Deep learning is certainly eating conferences, funding and PhDs. And that wasn't a bad thing until everyone got focused on generating another random architecture that yields another 2% improvement on their favorite dataset so their paper gets through.
IIRC the scenario was with clothing on where people spend extended period of time outdoors in the cold. E.g. shoveling snow, hiking on a cold day, etc.

Does that work? A NN might detect half a face, but then how do you switch over to the "find two dots" technique when there's only one eye? This seems susceptible to a lot of flapping.

The page source seems to include all prices, and links to at least one pdf with details on semi reservation.
I'm really curious if it comes with big differences compared to modern trucks (except for being all-electric).

I also wonder why they try to push multiple models and niches when they can't even build enough Model 3s as they had expected.

Thats what I can think of off the top of my head.
No, they don't mean two different things any more than food means two separate things when describing broccoli and ice cream. It's a broad term that covers many more nuanced concepts. I was attempting to cover the difference between overt racism and systemic racism. There's your two separate terms but both are absolutely forms of racism and to say that systemic racism isn't is just an attempt to rid it of the stigma that rightly gets associated with the term racism.

Those big super tankers operate at like $1m a day.. drones seem like they would be mosquitos in comparison. Maybe useful for spotting fires but I think satellite are the best plus traditional look outs. AI for sat images to spot wildfires is probably already done. It could track storms (lightning etc..). A bigger issue for wildfires is removing fuel sources which nobody does. A wet winter and spring fuels fire season.

Improving fire code is more likely to have a bigger impact. This is basically all about money though.
This exact situation happened around 1850 in Iowa, a small group of free black families settled in Fayette County. I wish I could find more than a passing reference to pass on what I've read.

Iowa has a history of progressivism. For example in 1851 it was the second state to legalize interracial marriage. In 2009 it was the forth state to legalize same-sex marriage (and not through any change of the laws, the Iowa supreme court decided it was legal)

I know the culture I experienced was not pervasive in the whole midwest. I'm also not saying that there weren't bigots, but it was certainly very much different than a lot of other places in this country.
It seems like it will require a $5000 deposit (with a $50,000 "full deposit") and the truck will cost between $200,000 and $250,000, according to the page source.

I don't know what you mean by 'late'. Skylake Xeons were delayed and have only been released recently, at least partially. You may be able to get them from vendors like Dell but you still can't go out and buy one anywhere that I'm aware of.
Supposedly with a 300 mile range versus ~1400 miles for a typical semi truck.

I'm sure there are niche uses, but it isn't any sort of enormous breakthrough.

I would add the caveat that it depends on your data heavily.

I supported a 20TB single-node DB, and it worked just fine. We had a lot of cold data though (about 10TB of it was solely for historical records, and 9.5TB of the rest was only accessed 4x yearly for massive reports).

The hardest part was never postgresql, mainly in numa related stuff.
No idea.

Just passing along the info. At about the halfway period of the aforementioned video she has of her talk at a conference, she goes over the biogenesis effect, but I dont recall there being a direct study link. But in other videos, she does show screen shots of the studies when she makes statistical claims which make the studies pretty easily searchable on pubmed.

Her published stuff on foundmyfitness.com does have studies though.
Unlike their cars, if they want to be successful they will need to release factory service manuals and sell parts to repair them. It's not going to be acceptable to send it to some far away service center to be repaired, at least for small outfits that heavily use all their equipment. When a critical piece of equipment is down, the mechanic is going to be working through the night hacking it together, possibly waiting on parts that are being overnighted. Diesel mechanics tend to be ridiculously intelligent and very resourceful.
Wow, the reason you would think that the fact that all the companies you've worked for have been doing the same as a positive thing, as well as that it might support any argument for collecting this type of information (or "aggregating") is beyond me. If you don't care about privacy and you don't mind giving away information about your behavior, that's fine, that's your thing, but please refrain yourself from spreading these false claims and arguments.
NVMe supports SR-IOV much in the same way that NICs do - which i suspect is how AWS is delivering "physical" NICs to VMs currently. So its a pretty safe bet that this is how NVMe devices are being delivered to guest Vm's.
