Its probably just nscd that is caching dns requests on debian not glibc. Though I thought nscd dns ttl caching was broken there. I could be wrong.

Musl libc's dns strategy should actually be faster than glibc when its used.

That said a local cache would be ideal.

It's not even clear why self-driving is an important pursuit at this point for a company like Uber. They're going to blow through billions on this and someone else will come in with a solution that just works.

I doubt a scrappy "startup" like Uber can beat companies like Toyota, Volkswagen, GM, Google or even Apple to market with a viable, certified self-driving car. They have, at best, a few billion left to dump into that venture. Those big companies could throw in ten times that if they wanted to.

Maybe someone needs to disrupt Uber. Go Lyft!
Fair enough, that's a much better way to convey your point, and it's one I agree with.

If we consider each domain, from hiring to operations, finance to development, I'll take your 100% odds - there are just too many areas of concern for a handful of people to get exactly right.

We could also get into a social discussion, but I won't, and instead will just say I suppose technically that makes what the startup is doing criminal. However, I personally, which is irrelevant since I'm not running the whole system, find the types of things Uber has done to be magnitudes more criminal than incorrect usage of a software license.

That said, I concede that it is indeed illegal, and therefore, your estimate probably isn't too far off from the truth. :)

My real counter-argument: the US has tremendous geographical advantages and a massive military. When it didn't have a massive military, it still had huge oceans around it, and both neighbors tested our borders before we had a massive military.

So I'm very skeptical about any correlation between firearms ownership and homeland defense.

That's OK. The Internet Mob agrees and will "Execute" anyone they see fit via job loss, death threats, vandalism, and destitution. But, that's OK, at least according to the comments I received.

For some reason, "We're" happy with extralegal punishments, and then sweeping them away as some sort of 'rights of the employers'. More and more claims are being made by a single person, and used to fire and blackball them. It's Salem Witch Trials all over again, but with respect to "Sexual Harassment".

Meaning that your assumption is that there is an optimal generalized network structure for generate a neural network as described in the paper and that as such, what is missing from the research is how to create an optimal way to generate a malformed source/target seed.

Is that correct?

The parts about no complicated file formats, ease of backup, keyboard only, fast, easy to use, text only, etc. strike close to home for me because this is what I also desired, to the point that I've written my own program to keep various notes. It also had to be portable (Windows and Linux) because at the time I had another weaker laptop that had to run Fedora and I wanted to use it there too. I just couldn't find such a program, everything was bad, not portable or 'rich' (aka images, styles, etc. aka needs mouse or has a complex file format).

GoCardless (YC S11) | London | SRE, Data, Backend, Full-Stack, and Pre-sales/Solutions Engineers | Onsite | Full-time | Visa

GoCardless is building a payments network for the internet. Since 2011 we've been focused on simplifying Direct Debit for small and medium companies (who previously had no access to it) and we've expanded to serve the largest companies (think newspapers, utilities) and connect with existing payment systems in countries all over the world. We already support the UK, Europe and Sweden and are aiming to expand to more countries over the next year.

As an engineering team at GoCardless we care most about stable, reliable, understandable code. We rely on automated testing, code review and a culture of frequent constructive feedback. We define and manage our own roadmap and run projects in whatever way works best for us.

Our stack: Rails, React, Postgres, Elasticsearch, Docker, Chef, Terraform.
We also have a bit of Go (for Infrastructure) and Python (for Data).

We love learning new things and contributing back to the community. We open source everything we can[1] and regularly host meetups and hackathons at our wheelchair-accessible office in Angel. We have a bi-weekly bookclub within the team and give internal (and external) talks about things that interest us.

Interview process: an intro call, one technical video interview, then a couple of onsite interviews (coding exercise and some chats - no whiteboards!)

Probably not widely. They likely have some sort of source of information that they use like for example: 'the current published price on bloomberg by Intercontinental Exchange'. Though this may not be the exact market price of the REC at that particular instant, it would be within a couple cents or so. Also with such a small market the amount you could get per REC changes significantly based on volume. Anyways, you as a customer with a utility bill probably have 0 say in what you sell your RECs for. You already would have signed away those rights when you signed the lease on your solar panels. (at least that's how it all works to the best of my knowledge)

> The automaker is using the all-electric Chevrolet Bolt as its autonomous mule

Wonderful.

Has anyone tried the Bolt yet? I think Bolt is turning out to be what Tesla Model 3 was intended to be... it's cheap, electric, rides excellently, and looks pretty slick. One of the best things about it is the top-view, which is a god-send when it comes to parallel parking: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/5kei2BVFGb8/maxresdefault.jpg

It seems really innovative in lots of clever ways. For example the "one pedal driving" is neat (push the pedal to go.. and when you take your foot off the pedal, the car slows down, the point being that you basically stop using brakes and save energy that way).

IntelliJ IDEA 2017.3 released
This article comes to entirely the wrong conclusion, and I am very encouraged at the number of commenters pointing it out.

Engineers engineer. They are highly trained professionals who are doing their job when they are figuring out how to build something, improve something, or fix something, often with the goal of being able to develop new features quickly without an inordinate number of bugs.

Your engineering team shouldn’t be running your business. Even if they have good ideas. And in practice, they will be overruled immediately, anyway, the moment someone with any real authority makes a roadmap or a key decision, because they are engineers. They aren’t answerable to the board. They haven’t studied the market and competitive landscape in depth. They can’t pivot the company.

There’s something perverse and The Office-like about diagnosing Jamie as a problem “but it’s not his fault.”

Engineer runs into boss’s office: “Sir, code quality is critically low. I suggest we begin paying down technical debt before it’s too late.” Boss, smiling to camera: “This is Jamie. When he started, he was a team player. He believed in the vision. He didn’t spend all day nit-picking about things like code quality. Look at him now! I don’t blame Jamie, though. I blame myself. If I had made Jamie feel like his big ideas and product insights were welcome here, early on, he wouldn’t have devolved into seeing himself as a mere code monkey.”

"I have one goal: To produce a significant return-on-investment for you and your business."

I'm a software engineer, but I also studied a business school, which puts me in a unique position for solving your real business problems that lie behind the lines of code.

My engineering experience includes creating a brand new content delivery network for a filesharing service, developing new low-level network protocols at one of the largest Internet companies, or creating a Machine Learning tool that analyzes Facebook posts.

Additionally, as an author of a book for new and aspiring managers, I know how to work with people. And how to finish stuff, because writing and publishing a book takes quite some grit.
