>The price of a (non-dividend-paying) stock is set strictly by supply and demand.

I don't understand what you're arguing against. First there are plenty of stocks that do return dividends (or do stock buybacks which are equivalent). Second, pricing may be suboptimal, maybe non-dividend stocks should be worth less[1] but it's still pricing something. Bitcoin is just pricing digital gold.

You're also going into the pattern of taking a comment and very vehemently discussing a small part of it as if that's what's being discussed. The initial OP assertion was that somehow fiat currencies are "printing wealth" as if printing dollars is somehow printing wealth, it's not. You've then made an even more incredible assertion that Bitcoin is strictly better than land or stocks because it's more "liquid and useful". Care to explain that? Certainly you're not arguing that Bitcoin is more valuable than all the world's stocks/bonds and all the world's land? And certainly you don't think something that struggles to do enough transactions a day to sustain the current network is actually currently more liquid or useful to the world economy than the capital markets that handle several orders of magnitude more transactions and total value?

[1] Almost certainly not 0 but that's a totally different discussion not worth going into here.
Steps Every Entrepreneur Must Take to Build a Business
I suppose you could use the technique to render a backdrop (either by rendering to a texture or by rendering it first, although you’d end up with a lot of overdraw if not careful) and then use a traditional renderer for the foreground. Not sure if it would win you anything, but certainly possible.

Could you also upload dynamic object data as VBO’s or uniform arrays or something and read that in your single-shader-renderer? Still likely not worthwhile, but a fun possibility perhaps.

I guess that’s not unlike what jheriko said above.
Ask HN: Real world examples of interaction between Python and Go?
My manager allows me to use some of my time on personal projects so I started a library for an internal tool. More as a learning project that anything else, but now, it seems is useful for other people.

The thing is, the library is completely written in Go and I would like to use it as a Python library.

I found a few blog posts but I cannot find real world examples of libraries written in Go but been use from Python and I feel a little lost.

Anyone knows public repos like this?
Seriously wtf. Very little trust in them deleting the photo. Very certain they’ll use the photo to train a high quality ML model of your face to better recognise you on ANY photo they find on the web.
You started a great topic. As a customer, I also want VISIBLE option to delete my account anytime, not just after request and writing to particular support. Being in a role as a service provider I offer this option directly in the dashboard as I believe if users don't need an account, they must have the option to delete their data completely.
its such a braindead problem that its plausible that the person who disclosed it over twitter didn't know what responsible disclosure is.
Usually exploits are hard to exploit meaning that those who find them likely know of responsible disclosure. In this case though anyone who has ever installed Linux is capable of stumbling upon this.

I've never bothered to seriously use DirectX, I've always used some flavour of OpenGL (quite successfully on Windows).

But speaking for other devs, a long time ago DirectX was indeed really crap. It took for example 16+ pages of code just to initialise. But in later iterations MS did a lot of work to clean it up and improve it and its performance, which is a large contributing factor as to why people started using it (along with of course having to deal with countless OpenGL extensions, which became a really tiring exercise).

Again I'm with you, I dislike the modern Microsoft practice of tying specific DX versions to specific OS versions, in trying to force people to upgrade.

Sadly the solution to the problem isn't either of OSX or Linux. Apple is too closed off and expensive in general, and Linux perhaps too abstract to be bothered with by the average gamer.
Why do you compare Kotlin against React? They can work together: https://blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2017/04/use-kotlin-with-np...

Every time this happens, I have a hard time going to sleep. I don’t understand what the actual problem is. I mean, I see them undertaking strange initiatives all the time. It is probably the most strange company I have ever followed. But, nobody seems to have much idea of what the root cause is.

Just please don’t cut 3ds Max. Oh, what’s the use? They’re going to cut 3ds Max.
I think you make some excellent points. I think the oft mental block engineers stumble into is that management are often not clear in articulating that speed for a certain project is more important than reliability or quality for example.

There is a trend in our industry for each company to claim they fulfil speed,quality,cost.
Dominic Giampaolo of BeOS/BeFS fame. He now works on APFS at Apple. Their work is really - impressive APFS was announced in June 2016 and rolled out on iOS devices in March 2017. Given that the APFS roll-out was relatively uneventful and how they tested it [1], it seems that they can still do low-level engineering and proper testing.

Of course, until recently they had Chris Lattner as well.

[1] For some iOS releases, they converted HFS to APFS in-place, report the results back to Apple, but did not write the APFS 'superblock' to keep the filesystem HFS+. It's quite a smart idea, because they got reports from millions of devices without actually switching them to APFS.
Idea... "Alexa, how do I (get you to do/ask for)..." "Sorry, I'll have to think about that for a few minutes" In that time, a support tech reviews the question, perhaps with some machine leaning assistance, and then gets back to you with the answer. "(first name), about your request, you can (insert instruction or apology)." Amazon already has mechanical turk... no reason why Alexa shouldn't take advantage.
I think your example can be simplified :)

Recursion + memoization provides most of the benefits of dynamic programming, including usually the same running time and well backtracking is recursion so the strategy can very well be -- Explore the possibility of a recurrence relation, if the possibility exists, try recursion :D

Indeed, but you'll need to be able to supply the current. Tesla superchargers are the exception; other than them, 50kW is the max you'll get.

For cars, having twice the capacity with the same charge speed would be enough, since you can charge slowly when you sleep, what matters is that the car can handle the distance you can travel in a day.

Yes, this. I'm American but have cumulatively spent several years in India -- mostly Delhi, with about 6 months in Ahmedabad -- over the past couple of decades. It's given me the the ability to comprehend (but not really speak) basic "chaste" Hindi, with a bit of Gujarati on the side.

In practical terms this is essentially meaningless, because most of the time, people are speaking several languages at once. Last night I was in a supermarket in London, listening to the staff who were animatedly speaking what I think was a mashup of Bhojpuri (some of which I could understand) and Malayalam (no chance). Was totally baffling. Elsewhere I've seen Salman Rushdie describe the language of Bombay as "HUG-ME": "Hindi Urdu Gujarati Marathi English", with the apparent objective being to cram words from all five languages into every sentence. He's not wrong.

This will be one hell of an ML challenge.

scaleway and packet.net both offer bare metal

the AWS machines looks to be huge.. hence, high cost.
So it appears that in just the last 5 years, Autodesk, Inc. has sponsored over 500 H1B visas.

The majority of these sponsored positions are in the Bay Area, with its high cost of living; a median salary of about $100K for software engineers is definitely appropriate and the prevailing wage for such uber-talent which they searched high and low for in the US, but simply could not find. /s

I'm assuming that of the 1000+ workers to be laid off, the majority of these 500+ H1Bs will be included. Though I won't hold my breath.

If Autodesk truly has a need for such hard-to-find talent, they're in luck: the O-1 Visa was made for just this.

5 Letters That Will Change Your Perspective Instantly
A few different tech projects that we consider open sourcing:

- A CLI release tool that properly ensures deps & CI are green, bumps version, creates Github release notes (with links to PRs) and notifies team. Is configurable to be used across projects (both backend and frontend).

- A deployment dashboard that shows what version or feature branch is deployed for each of our projects on our different envs (prod, staging, testing etc). Think a minimal matrix grid for easy overview.

- Elaborate bash script that helps setup all projects and dependencies local on new employees' machines. Onboarding was always a major hassle so we've tried to automate it as much as possible.

is there a way to force a copy?
like String copy to &str (on the stack?)
I thought chatbots were the worst form of customer service, but then I had to deal with WES. The only option they provided for customer service was a question form. I clearly laid out the three questions I had and submitted the form. Three days later, they sent a reply that didn't answer any of my questions. It seemed to be copied off of the first help page that came up if you searched the keywords of my first question. Their response was from a noreply@ address. So effectively, they took a useless chatbot, added a half-week delay, removed any possibility of interaction with it, and presented it as their only support option. I hate that company with every fiber of my being.
That's completely off topic. In fact, the question is so broad that I cannot think of anyplace other than the water cooler or Quora to ask it.

Career advice: Never go "foobar-only". Make an effort to learn "foobar" but understand whatever is one layer below it in the stack. Want to go "cloud-only"? Learn OpenCloud, not AWS.
it's just a lot harder to automate reliably without any form of userdata.

packet.net I do coreos and provision with userdata specifying what docker image to run... that's all it takes to have immutable deployment :)

> There isn't just one test though. Like you alluded to above, there are 'culture-fair' tests, even though they may be less common. The heart of our disagreement is probably the role we see culture and genetics playing in socioeconomic outcomes.

Nope. I disagree that verbal tests can be extricated from an intelligence measure, and by extension, culture. I did mention 'culture-fair' IQ tests, in quotes, and that I don't consider them to be very good. It is even suggested that such tests don't even remove cultural bias.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cattell_Culture_Fair_III

> and even though it's a bitter pill to swallow I think we need to soberly assess the genetic component of IQ

I can certainly see the moral imperative in avoiding genetic mental disabilities that have profound effects on social outcomes, burden on social services, and maybe even happiness of an individual. Otherwise, what imperative is there to do so?

Does anyone else feel that Uber is severely overvalued?

It's definitely worthwhile to learn Lambda, S3 and serverless apps but all that stuff can be learned on the job. S3 is especially easy to use for most use-cases and any decent programmer can learn to use it in an hour or two.

However, I would definitely learn a SQL dialect and learn how RDBMSes such as Postgres work (especially what is meant by ACID) as most companies are based around a database. Don't believe the hype - SQL is not dead. Dynamo is a great technology but there are many problems it can't solve for you.

Finally, I personally don't know Azure or GCP so well. Only knowing AWS in-depth hasn't held me back so far. I've used a few of Azure's services but I've never built a serious app on it.

My recommendation is to not really worry about individual technologies and to focus on safely handling and working with data.
In my time as CTO in different companies, this would be something testers would have tested, perhaps not at the first release but over time.

Could you expand a bit on the niche you see them filling? I think some of the negative perception of chatbots recently owes a lot to exactly what the OP said - gross overapplication in areas with very marginal benefit, if any, to user experience (e.g. why do I want to interact with your service though an opaque natural language interface versus less ambiguous search controls/interface?).

It depends on who you already have in your team.

Having a few members who can solve hard problems on their own is great, and they usually have to be silent and focused while doing it. You also need people who are good at participating and helping and explaining their thought process. A team that has only one type isn't going to be the most effective team.

There are many languages (notably Slavic ones) that don't have articles. My guess is that the comment author is a native speaker of one of those languages and not English.
It's not that it's impossible in C++ just that it's impractical to write large-scale solutions with a complex threading model with the "don't screw up" model C++ uses. The Rust compiler provides what amount to built-in unit tests with every build pass that allow you to fearlessly write code without data races. This in turn allows the new architecture you're referencing.

But if you’re going to use emotions to explain a significant portion of gold’s value, surely the emotions of Bitcoin traders should provide an equally legitimate explanation of Bitcoin’s value.

I don’t really like appeals to “inherent value,” except for assets that can be expected to be desirable to almost any individual in almost any conceivable scenario (like food). Even then, there is some level of social or “network” effect, because in order to trade food you need your trade partner to have confidence that your assets are genuine (e.g. it’s not fake cans of beans) and that there is some fundamental protection of property rights (e.g. you’re not going to trade your canned beans for their eggs, only to immediately steal back their eggs using the threat of force).

In that sense, all “inherent value” is just an abstraction based on your confidence in your ability to predict the future behavior of other humans, which isn’t so different than your decision today to trade fiat currency for cryptocurrency (or even to trade your labor for fiat currency, like most of us do in traditional jobs).

I learned React and later React-Native. Selling myself as a "mobile consultant" then worked fine, nobody cared "how" I made these mobile apps.

My idea was the same with back-end, learning some framework and start selling myself as "mobile cloud consultant" or something, with the hopes that clients also don't care "how" I create these cloud back-ends.

I know SQL, worked most of my time with RDBMSs, so this wouldn't be big of an issue. As I said I already did a few back-ends, but my focus was on front-end, usability and such.

I just mentioned DynamoDB because I had the impression that it was "the AWS DB", do they offer an SQL service besides Redshift?
And the candidate has no way of knowing what you expect, he's just been given a problem to solve.

One time I was rejected for not identifying and discarding some particularly stupid attempt at doing something (it involved assuming that it was safe to trust input coming to the server over HTTP), but I have explained to people not to do that so many times that I really don't consider doing things that way in the first place.
If the problem is too hard it's not always possible to talk or draw something while thinking about it. You go through dozens of possible solutions in your head, to find a good one.

That's like asking a champion chessplayer to explain what he's thinking about while trying to make a move.

So this only works if the candidate already knows the solution, and knows which way is right and just explains that one (and maybe a few bad alternatives on purpose).
Or if the problem is relatively easy.
