The simplest advice* people can give you without predicting the future can be found here : https://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2016/01/08/46...

Basically: Get awesome grades, get a top offer, jump ship when you can earn 15% more elsewhere (and its not a down step job), Save at least 20% of your gross salary into some kind of index ETF/fund, live way below your means, wait 10+ yrs.

When he says "data structures" he actually means "interview questions".

Data structures and algorithms interview questions are the only thing that Google and FB care about.
If so, that's going to be a big undertaking :)
Please take a look at the list of features.
Yeah, I’ve considered this. Maybe in years where return exceeds 4%, you invest the excess.
Sadly they use Gremlin that is so often said to have poor performances
"And then before you know it, your youth will be gone. Time is more valuable than money."

Can't agree more. If I had to do it over again, I'd just live my life, not worry about being super frugal or saving a ton of money.
(author here) I'm a tech lead. My job is to answer questions all day, but at the same time i need to actually do some tasks that require focus. I wanted to learn who is interrupting me, when, and why so that i could take measures to improve the situation. If Bob is always bugging me about X i could sit down with Bob and help him understand X better. If i'm always interrupted at a specific time of the day i could make sure i don't try and dive into anything that requires focus then. If many people are interrupting me about Y i can write documentation so they can answer their own questions.

As @borntyping said "The purpose is tracking who is interrupting and why, not stopping interruptions, with the aim of finding patterns."
GM invests in puff piece PR.

Waymo invests in self-driving tech. We'll see which one wins out.
Ahh, makes sense. Thanks for the clarification there!
With ECS and EKS you get a managed master, then you set up your own autoscaling groups etc to deploy nodes (which you manage) into the cluster.

With Fargate, you get access to AWS-managed multi-tenant nodes. So, Fargate connects to either your ECS or EKS cluster and avoids the need for you to worry about managing the nodes as well.
Did you succeed?
What does the bedtime routine entail? I've never heard of such a long routine.
Classic problem of non-technical management making technical decisions.
Talking about unit testing, what are people using for coverage, and more specifically on Windows + MSVC (Professional, or Community)?

What are the sane choices there? (I've installed OpenCppCoverage two days ago, and so far so good, but wondering about other choices)

GDPR is addressing precisely these things though, and tightening up the allowed actions. It doesn't really matter if it was previously allowed, you need explicit documented consent to store PII.

But, I thought it wasn't coming in to force until next May.
Don't marry :)
Really wish "serverless" also meant that it can work with AWS Lambda efficiently. As is, each function would try to open a connection, making the overall overhead extremely high and stressing DBs.

True, makes sense. It's interesting, I found a few other sites having issues right now too, like Kraken when trying to log in it has an SSL handshake issue with cloudflare.
exactly right. I've been wanting to figure out how to get every message i receive on slack piped into a script so that i could then extract "interruptions" from that. but yes I track everything that wasn't a "planned interruption".
Same opinion. Total bullshit and I will not be doing it.
Don't confuse "only supporting Chrome" with "not supporting every crappy browser ever made". Standards will move on so the acceptable bar for what you support will also keep changing.

Safari might have user numbers behind it but it also has a huge pile of rendering oddities and half-implemented standards. They're not keeping pace with other browsers.
I’ve considered going into this with neural nets - given your bio it seems you have some experience. But is this viable with a low amount of starting funds? If I programmed a .51 optimal crypto trading bot, it’d take a long time for my money to grow.
In many respects I agreed with the original comment you replied to, but something didn't quite sit right. I read the comment and thought that the commenter was obviously much more qualified to speak to the subject than I was, but I just felt that while he wasn't wrong, he wasn't completely right. You hit it right on the head.

Working in a Fortune 500 company it is amazing the kind of information we have available for "Powerful People". I also feel like more and more of that information is available to everyone, the difference is that "Powerful People" have the money and resources to pay teams to sift through, organize, and present the information in an actionable way. Companies, Powerful People, and Governments spend tons of resources on trying to understand the information. Data is cheap, understanding the data is extremely expensive.

Information is out there for the taking, but it is useless in the raw state it starts in.

I read an interesting story a few weeks ago about how the CIA has entire teams of cartographers whose job is to show data on information on maps in a way that tells a story. That is their full time job to work with researchers and analysts to create "pretty" representations of data that are informative and easy to digest.

I think data is only interesting because of the stories it tells. But picking a story out data can be time consuming and expensive and prone to errors. If WikiTribune enables experts and laypeople to collaborate in a productive way then I think it will be an amazing service.

I have lots of thoughts on all of this and am very very very interested to see where it goes. I really hope this is as great as it has the potential to be.
Ph.D. students, in the sciences and engineering at least, spend the majority of their time doing research that benefits the university. Much like professors, they have teaching obligations, make research contributions, and generally work to advance their field. While they are labeled students, the day-to-day life of a Ph.D. student looks more like an employee than a customer. This is why there’s been a push to unionize, and why even charging tuition in the first place is suspect.
So, if I'm understanding right, it is using the database server instances as the current Aurora does. You just aren't responsible for managing them, the service makes those decisions within the spectrum of Aurora's capabilities and can change it in a very small time increment.

EDIT: pretty impressive though, looking at James Hamilton's criteria for "Automatic Management and Provisioning" here: https://www.usenix.org/legacy/event/lisa07/tech/full_papers/... , I think this addresses everything database related, as long as you are under the maximum capacity of Aurora.
Maybe my response was too paranoid. But certainly a well-known hotel chain has more to lose by misbehavior and bad publicity than an individual renting out their house does.
Thank you for your feedback and clarifications.

Vault is a well regarded project that is designed to solve a broader set of problems than Strongbox (i.e. Vault has many different backends, more auth solutions etc.). While there are third party solutions and plans to get more convenience functionality into Vault, we decided to focus on what you would get out of the box today.

"file secrets" was intended to be that you can input a binary file directly either in the CLI or GUI without having to manually base64 encode it first. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that is not currently possible with Vault? Strongbox used to require the user to base64 encode the binary file first as well.
yeah. i'm sorry about that. I'm in the middle of a rewrite that'll address that. setup's been a pain and i don't want people to have to install chicken scheme just to use it. message me on twitter (@masukomi) or email me at masukomi@masukomi.org and I'll let you know when there's a new version that should "just work"
From what a saw, exceptionnal people aside, those who learned to code with a language favorising bad OOP (most OOP languages, maybe with the exception of Lisp) write nasty code. Especially when they work with a language like javascript, but even with c++ or Rust you can easely find abominations.

Everybody should learn proper data structure before learning OOP. I don't like Go, but i'd much rather work with an intern who was first taught Go than any OOP language, even one i like. OOP is a great tool, but people that learned with it have the tendancy to use it poorly and everywhere, and to use abstractions of abstraction when this is not needed. Maybe for you, it was not an issue, because you were brilliant enough, but for average devs like myself, it is.
The ability to write is largely ignored at tech firms these days. Grammar is viewed as a bunch of stodgy rules to be ignored at will. Some are indeed silly throwbacks, but the basic structures are what allow us to communicate effectively. Drop them and errors in understanding creep into nearly every email.

Yesterday I had a back-and-forth with a boss over "login", "log in", "log in to" and "log into". That might seem silly but little things really do matter. (fyi, login = noun. Log in = verb. We never settled on 'into' or 'in to'.)
I feel like in the end most of it just comes down to how memory is managed and the type system, at least if you consider C++ instead of C.

Personally I just wish for something like C# without the garbage collector (and some good options for static compilation). Right now it just seems like the only two choices are C(++)/Rust, where your only option is to deal with everything manually even if the compiler or optimizer would know better, and most dynamic GCd languages, where your only option is summoning Cthulhu to do it for you.
Fargate looks really expensive compared to just running an EC2 instance. A 1 vCPU container with 2GB of RAM will run you $55/month. An m3.medium with 1 vCPU and 3.75GB of RAM is $49. The prices seen to get uncomfortably worse from there, though I haven't priced them out the whole way, but a 4 vCPU container with 8GB of RAM is price-competitive ($222 for the container, $227 monthly for the machine) with a freaking i3.xlarge, with 4 vCPUs and 30.5GB, and the i3.xlarge also has 10Gbit networking. Topping Fargate out at 4 vCPUs and 30GB of RAM puts it right between an r4.2xlarge and an i3.2xlarge, both with 8 vCPUs and 61GB of RAM (the i3 is more expensive because it's also got 1.9TB of local SSD).

Enough people are still trying to make fetch happen, where fetch is container orchestration, that I expect that fetch will indeed eventually happen, but this is a large vig for getting around not-a-lot-of-management-work (because the competition isn't Kubernetes, which is the bin packing problem returned to eat your wallet, it's EC2 instances, and there is a little management work but not much and it scales).

If you have decided that you want to undertake the bin packing problem, AWS's ECS or the new Elastic Kubernetes Service makes some sense; you're paying EC2 prices, plus a small management fee (I think). I don't understand Fargate at all.
Just seeing now that you already noticed that, nvm.
Yes, you need to know what is is. I didn't but found the second last explanation here helpful: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27434431/what-is-html-is...
I believed that GraphQL is more of an protocol for interacting with an api, and not for graph databases, which is what Gremlin and SparQL are used for.
Well, I think marriage helps give life some sort of meaning, and from a pragmatic standpoint, two salaries and a permanent roommate for life. So it might actually make more sense to marry.
I'm no journalist, but I guess that being first to report is more important than minor errors in the article.
I'm curious about your reasons for wanting to drop GCP. I am having a grass-is-greener-on-the-other-side moment right now being on AWS.
Haha nice, I always like when people think this way because I've realized I only need so much money also and killing myself working to get more than that is pointless because I already know very well that money doesn't bring happiness by itself but having too little also leads to unhappiness. I have no idea what the answer is to your question but I'm going to be reading the comments.
By "new" do you mean you just wish they had a different elevator pitch, or do you wish for an entirely new platform with communication and collaboration features, maybe along the lines of Google Wave, or do you mean something different, like OpenStreetMap where it's globally collaborative like Wikipedia, just for a different sort of information.
If you want, give yourself one or 2 extra punishing workouts since you took a week off (some nice hill repeats, hard tempo, etc.) and then forgive yourself! Even the best of us have lapses in our routine occasionally.
Unless it was somehow possible to remotely trigger a battery explosion, no, we would not be giving anyone control over “mobile bombs”.
Seriously, one of the best investments I've ever made.
Let's unpack this:

* Academia does have a left leaning bias.

http://theconversation.com/yes-academics-tend-to-be-left-win...

https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2016/07/05/new-analysis-...

(and others - I can find very little that actually challenges the belief)

* The mainstream media has a left-leaning, status quo, (and as used in Wikipedia) American bias

https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/erik-wemple/wp/2017/01/...

http://www.journalism.org/2006/10/06/the-american-journalist...

Given that Wikipedia has, as enforced policy, that mainstream media and academic sources trump all else, it logically must share the same bias as its sources.

This is even acknowledged:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Wikipedia#Systemi...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Wikipedia#Consens...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Systemic_bias

It's not like I'm making some accusation of conspiracy or malfeasance here, so there's no need to interpret it as an attack. This is simply the way the site and its user base operates given its current policies.

If the media is getting something wrong, Wikipedia will necessarily get it wrong. If the Academic community is getting something wrong, Wikipedia will necessarily get it wrong. The reason I speak of these disparate groups as wholes is that, on Wikipedia, consensus determines what an article says, what gets relegated to a "criticism" section, and what can't be said at all. (Arguably, the biases of the editors will win over the actual state of the sources, but this is just my read on the policy)

This is one of the downsides of acting as a tertiary source alone: you're only as good as your secondaries and primaries

I then extend this inference out to this new project. It has the same people at the helm, will likely attract the same group of editors, and so it will share the same problems as Wikipedia proper.

Great courses and friendly help on the slack channels.
...er... what? I assume you're joking, but even so it doesn't really make sense. I could imagine that in a calendaring app. I'm not sure how it applies to something that tracks interruptions. I'd honestly like to know because sometimes those jokey ideas have a little value hidden in them.
Best thing you will ever do, quality courses for life! Don't miss out, once it's over, it's over!
Both of the cases you describe in your "not even clear" are problems. If it was either of those things then it would demonstrate that Rubin was acting irresponsibly as a leader.

Yeah, he put a knife to her throat, no doubt. (sarcasm, OK?) She complained, said x, y and z and her word is taken at face value today. Plus, simply by dating her, he clearly violated Google's employment policies, probably a firing offense.

Do you think that all the actresses that are complaining today were unwilling participants? For a lot of them things didn't work out as planned so whatever happened 20 years ago is now rape or sexual harassment.
Duplicate of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15808065 (which has comments)
the problem with living on a fixed income is some big unexpected inflationary event.

This happened to my parents in the 70s. They retired in the early 70s and then BOOM inflation went nuts and what was a comfortable retirement turned into subsistence.

doesn't seem likely anytime soon, but it is still a risk.
Maybe because of the awesome organ they have there ?
I think you are right, but it's still been in the wild for several months, despite that Apple just realized a comment claiming they discovered the problem yesterday.
That comment sounds a lot like my latest performance review. It was actually the constant interruptions that caused me to be less helpful, less friendly, more cold, and more aggressive toward my colleagues. A tool that could help mitigate these interruptions would probably improve my relationship with them a lot. I don't think people realize how disruptive minor interruptions are when multiplied by the size of their team. I can't have impromptu face-to-face chats with 30 people every day and still do my job.
Yeah, but where does the $11k calculation come from? Did she run it through tax software from 2016, which doesn't include the larger standard deduction? This change would dramatically reduce the taxes owed by many people who do not itemize.

The author admits she isn't a tax lawyer, so I'm curious to know how she arrived at such a detailed figure. Did she use a "how would the GOP tax bill affect your taxes" calculator from some website? She didn't just pull the number out of thin air, and its odd she doesn't say where it came from.
Yep, I definitely agree here! I think it was a reasonable choice for Go to make, I just personally prefer working with things the Rust way.
I can imagine an UI designer coming in for an interview.
...yeah I want you to invert a binary tree.
Amazon DynamoDB Update - Fully managed backups processed in seconds
I believe there is likely a lot of truth to this. I'm sure we can all agree crony capitalism is awful. However, I do not agree with this article that red meat is a cause for health concern. Such claims tend to be based on weak associations from flawed epidemiological studies, which cannot prove cause and effect.
Goal is to have a developer write up a service definition with e.g. a web tier, service tier and database tier, wherein some of those pods might need to have persistent data volumes and expect EKS be able to run that application for them without my intervention, even if I were to have something shooting the underlying compute nodes in the head (but ideally, I won't even sweat those nodes' existence thanks to Fargate).

We'd be using services like RDS for everything we could, of course, but sometimes someone insists on persisting something to disk, and sometimes that strategy makes sense.

Well that's one of the more nonsensical names to come out of AWS recently.
Build something:

2,200,000 = Delivering $1 of value to 2.2mi people. Just play with that numbers until you can figure out something that you can build that fits into that model....

$1 of value to 2.4mi people (in a year) // (i fudged the number to make the math easier)

$1 of value to 200k people a month

$2 of value to 100k people a month

$3 of value to 75k people a month

$4 of value to 50k people a month

$8 of value to 25k people a month

$16 of value to 12.5k people a month

$32 of value to 6.25k people a month

...

The tricky part is figuring out what people want to pay for.

There are also abstractions to this... like advertising... An average cpm is $2.80. So you'd have to get ~$3 of value from 75k people a month (if they viewed 1000 pages/mo each).. or 75mi page views a month would get you 2.2mi a year.

You can do everything that a marriage entails without the legal contract that gives someone else leverage over everything you own.
The Shield is great, and can handle 2-3 transcodes at a time just sitting there silent. Can share with both me and partners parents who have Roku built in TVs. However I have a lot of h265 content and it will transcode stuff back to h264 and suck up bandwidth/processing when I wish it wouldn't but I think that is a limitation of Roku.
I believe Gremlin is just the query language. There is an original backend that implemented it, which might be what you are thinking has performance issues. But the query language intrinsically doesn’t have issues I don’t thinks.
In my very limited experience from what I have seen:

build a company and then sell it.
AFAIK gremlin is just a query language - it shouldn't have much to do with performance.
I really have no idea what the system should look like. I am surprised that the tuition waivers aren’t already taxable. If you owe somebody money, and they forgive the debt, the amount forgiven is considered a taxable benefit. That’s especially true if the “somebody” you owed the money to was the IRS.

I’m not saying all current grad students are tax cheats. I’m saying that I’m surprised the law is set up how it is, since in other cases, whenever the IRS sees a dollar value, it tries to collect a tax.
https://pages.awscloud.com/NeptunePreview.html
That's a pretty dramatic take.

It's just "the medium is the message" applied to Snapchat.
:) and if you ever have questions or feedback we are a tweet away.
Fair enough! Not having done any PL work in a while, I tend to think of types in terms of the properties of how I use them rather than their implementation, so I was just surprised to see them compared this way.
Will this also affect scholarships at the undergrad level? i.e. need based aid or merit scholarhips?

Law school as well has a lot of these. The articles focus on grad students, so it hasn't been clear if tuition rebates at other levels are affected.
I think I have AWS fatigue. I have a few certifications and a few years of experience working with AWS, but it's getting difficult to even keep track of all the services.
