> Always remember, a disabled person see's themselves as disabled only in the eyes of the people with prejudices.

No. I stutter, and I'm somewhat disabled due to that in my own eyes, in that I have to spend more mental effort to speak clearly than a normal person would or else my vocal apparatus collapses into a mess of bad feedback loops and I'm completely incomprehensible (and, sometimes, in a certain amount of pain).

Your platitude is a bit beyond the "You can do anything!" fluff, which I understand and agree with in that stutterers have gone on to have very productive careers in public-facing roles (James Earl Jones stuttered, as did the disgraced Nazi-sympathizing British king, etc.), and veers into the simply incorrect. My ability to express myself verbally is, by default, less than it should be. I can compensate for it, and I do, but I will not pretend nothing is wrong here.
You are not obligated to yield to traffic entering from an onramp. You are doing it right by not letting them in front of you.
> IPFS feels closest to it as of now.

I'm rather skeptic. IMO, IPFS is just overengineered bittorrent. At the lowest layer, the semantics are the same, except with really bad ideas thrown into the mix - wantlist instead of bitmaps, forcing DAG in places where there's no use for it, all driving overall performance of the network into the ground.

Yea. True. But they have to pretend they are friends of employees.

Not really, if you didn't tie up significant proportions of your net worth in the initial buy.

Deserve is a worryingly moral word to apply there.

My only dispute is that early adopters took a lot of risk. It's not like they sunk their life savings into opening a small business.

The document at given link does not answer that question. It's a marketing piece for a "Tinder for friends" site. The piece implies that people with similar interests become friends, but doesn't say why it's harder after college.

patrickarenson has only posted three times, all related to this site.

I'll take a crack at answering the question. My working model is that when you share transformative experiences with others, then it's more likely that you'll become friends.

This can include college, military service, growing up together as kids, jail, a road trip, etc.

I recently watched a couple seasons of the reality TV series "The Great Swedish Adventure" about people from the US who are the descendants of Swedes, and want to learn more about their Swedish heritage and meet their unknown, distant relatives. The game show aspect of it had people formed into two teams, at random, to collaborate, and the losing team then had individual competitions to determine who drops out.

In the interviews during the season they talk about how they have all become friends, and some of the post-season interviews talk about how they are still in contact. They also talk about how they feel like being a participant changed them. I think the structure of the competition helped them become friends in a way that simply jetting 12 people to Sweden wouldn't have gotten.

So, why is it hard after college? Because college is at a peak transformation time for most, and most people there are going through the same sorts of transformation.

Another major transformation is parenthood, which is also when people make entirely new sets of friends.
How do you get a job in algorithmic trading?
I took "execution" here to mean "scaling up". In a trivial case, a model may fail to scale up if it's computationally too slow or too sensitive to noisy data. Sometimes these shortcomings cannot be tested in a laboratory environment with limited data sets.
Not to mention, saying that PhDs are underprepared to lead. Which the article then jumps to essentially saying, "hire the MBA".

That is a recipe for disaster - non-technical people leading technical people. Maybe we should hire an MBA as VP of Engineering too?
I beleive our disagreement is fundamentally one of semantics. However, I'll concur that I have not used this method for front end or mobile or embedded code yet, and there may be problems that I haven't anticipated.

That said, I think you miss my point - I'm not saying don't test in a real-world environment: I'm saying decouple your program logic from its inputs, and enforce shared test data between top-level edge and the integration test suites to ensure end-to-end integrity (and do the same for every other part of your code that interacts with another part of your code, fwiw).

> Test the endpoints separately. Wrap the endpoints to allow you convenient dependency injection. Test the wrapper.

So, test in the browser, or on the app. Just test the endpoints separate from your integration test, and use the explicitly stated output of integration test as the input parameters for your browser tests. I'd go far as to argue that browsers and hardware - where you have the greatest concerns about the stability of your 3rd party APIs, are actually the circumstances where separating edge testing from integration makes the most sense.

Perhaps a better way to explain my process is to think of my set of edge and integration tests as the equivalent of your 'integration' test suite, with the addition of specific contracts (the shared data) to ensure that interaction between modules is also controlled for. You are still testing end-to-end and you are still testing with real-world data, since that's what the edge tests will be returning. You are just explicitly stating what you expect at each boundary of the code.

I'm not a founder but agree with a13n. Working long hours is not the norm for software development. I live in a city 99% of the people here have never heard of, working 40.0 hours a week (not 36, which seems like an odd number to pick), and I'd need to make $330k in San Francisco to have the same standard of living.

There are plenty of very well compensated 40-hour-a-week software development jobs available.
As someone (a Director) running for the exit... lack of control over: taking on new projects, staffing, infrastructure, meeting schedules, deadlines. Complete lack of ability to say "no" to our biggest client. Add in conflicting priorities from leadership, month long delays in compensation adjustment, lack of clarity around valuation status, and having to focus primarily on new and maintenance ETL work.

I got frustrated enough to where I almost quit on the spot a few weeks ago. Frustrated enough to b on the verge of tears and punches because I felt I'd wasted the past two years of my life. I worked to get myself transferred from my leadership role to, ostensibly, a more thought leadership type role which should happen in next few weeks.

However, if I don't see significant changes in January, February, and March then I'm leaving. Honestly, I'll probably leave anyway because I think I can grow my skillset, work on better problems, and set my future up better somewhere else.

What I hate about this situation is that I used to be the biggest supporter this company had. But years of this difficulty is enough.
Rely on the assumption that the prosecutor, judge, and officer do not care about nailing you, specifically, as much as they care about just doing their job and going home. If you make your case seem like more work for them, or if it will end up costing them money to prosecute, they will very likely drop it, even if you are guilty as sin. If I could make 100 deals in the same time it takes to prepare for one trial, I'd throw the trial case on the floor, too.

All the good traffic-ticket lawyers will know all the tricks for your state, and some of them are kind enough to give away those tactics for free, essentially as stealth advertising for those who would rather pay the money to ensure a professional will do it correctly.

It's pretty obnoxious that USPS regulations have discouraged innovation in home delivery arrangements. Even so, a sufficiently determined homeowner with the right setup could definitely build her own auto-emptying locker (i.e. closing the front door would open a trapdoor package chute) and post a sign directing parcel delivery to it. We don't have to wait on AMZN if this is really a thing that we need.
Do you have any good reading material on consequentialist libertarians? I only ever run into deontological ones.
No. Stop it. This attitude is consistently responsible for the most dangerous road conditions I see driving in America.

Keep right except to pass. Period.

Everybody traveling the same "maximum speed limit" is a fantasy and rarely exists in reality. There are lots of good reasons for traveling over the speed limit (quickly passing to avoid prolonged travel in close proximity to another car, for example).

Left lane cruisers inevitably lead to long queues in the left lane with empty lanes to the right, which leads to people passing on the right, tailgating, and a host of unpredictable situations that increase the danger on the road much, much more than simple speed (duh, many speed limits are arbitrary and political, not based on some absolute "maximum safe speed", which is a ridiculous notion anyway for roads that carry both sports cars and heavy tractor trailers).

Your prescription creates situations in which it is literally impossible to drive safely (and frankly, I'm sick of finding myself in these dangerous and completely unnecessary situations because of Americans' insane (and sometimes illegal[1]) driving practices...I don't want to race anybody, I just want to get to my destination safely and efficiently). Even choosing to waste your time being the slowest car on the road in the right lane, you end up being put in danger by cars trying to right-lane-pass with dangerous closing speeds up to dangerously close distances.

Keep right except to pass.

I'm on the fence about generics...but to answer your question generally...it's not all 'enhancements', it's making a language less readable. Sure, I can choose never to use it. But now I have (more) trouble reading others code. Go's strength, to me, is readability.
You can focus on improving your sales skills within your own job; all jobs require some degree of "sales skills", as it really boils down to communication.

Maybe observe how effective you are in convincing your colleagues of the merits of your ideas, or getting to be involved in projects youre interested in, etc. Observe when a conversation doesnt go as youd hoped, and think about why. Find a colleague you think does a good job of this and learn from her / him. Make it a goal to focus on listening as much as possible. Read books, then identify tactics youd like to try, and try them out at work in a comfortable setting

If you have time, you can create a side project and try selling that. Doesnt even have to be a real business or something youd want to pursue, just make something you think people could want, find the ppl who might want it, ask about their needs, and see if you can position your product to meet their needs

I haven't tried it but there is a package for R that I find similarly useful, called sqldf. The back end is sqlite, which is quite fast for anything that fits on disk.

I find both hobbled, however, by their rather simple SQL dialects. No window functions, common table expressions, grouping sets or similar, etc. An improvement, no doubt, but Postgres still has it beat.

I honestly wish the vast corpus of effort put into statistics and machine learning in R and Python were more easily portable as Postgres foreign function packages. I've tried the ones I've seen mentioned and they were all horrible, mostly due to embedding an entire language's runtime and memory model on top of the SQL inner workings.

Last week I was resizing a window in High Sierra, and I noticed that the Chrome app in the background was also scrolling. That was completely unexpected. It's long been the case that the window doesn't need to be on top for this behavior, but in this case it wasn't just a focus issue, it was that I was in resize mode. Completely jarring when it happened, but seems related.
I mean those two have pretty clear risks as well. Morality might moderate people's primal feelings but they are even better moderated by understanding opportunity - costs of the actions. Nevertheless, there is nothing inherently "bad" about "negative" feelings. They just tell you something isn't going right and you have to fix it. How you do that - is up to you.
Totally agree. You can go the .js.erb views and `$('#div_id').replaceWith('<%= escape_javascript(render partial :partial_name) %>')` route, or you can use render_to_string and put your partial HTML in JSON and replace it with frontend JS, and so on and so on. And there's also turbolinks to consider and the idempotent stuff.

It's all great, I got my way around it, but I never know if what I'm doing is considered best practice or not.
Likewise - I spent 6 months back in 2004 working in the US office at a large company doing data management as part of a big team. I was the only person in the entire group who tried to understand how our whole team fit together and what my inputs and outputs in the data chain did - and why they needed what they needed. Everyone else was a narrow specialist in their little bit, and the project managers were specialist project managers who knew how to gantt, but didn't understand what we all did.

I'd been used to working in a smaller company where I HAD to understand everything because I was building tooling for the entire chain. Obviously I didn't know enough to do everyone else's job, but I understood what their job meant and what kind of problems they existed to solve.
That s the thing I don’t get, how do they “issue” tether? Because if one says they peg it to the dollar then it must follow the dollar’s inflation. Otherwise somebody is at a loss because there s more tether value than usd or viceversa, even if they were fully transparent and fair.

Edit

Unless of course tether is not a store of value in any way and just a fancy name for a dollar.

Spin Selling by Neil Rackham presents a useful theoretical framework for selling

https://www.amazon.com/SPIN-Selling-Neil-Rackham/dp/00705111...

There are many sales books that present scripts, in general I think they are useful to read for generating ideas, I would suggest never using a script that doesn't feel comfortable for you to say, I would suggest also thinking about fitting any script you use back into the larger theoretical framework from the above book

personally, I like the scripts presented in Stephen Schiffman's books, https://www.amazon.com/Stephan-Schiffman/e/B001H9PRO2/ref=sr...

mainly on the ground that none of them make me cringe to say (specifically the '250 sales questions' and the 'Cold Calling' books), what makes you cringe is likely to be a little different from what makes me cringe, so your mileage will probably vary

there are a lot of books in this general genre, check out https://www.amazon.com/Brian-Tracy/e/B001H6OMRI/ref=sr_ntt_s... and https://www.amazon.com/Zig-Ziglar/e/B000AP7VIY/ref=sr_ntt_sr...

I do think these books present lots of good material for brainstorming, but some percentage of both these books I couldn't say to someone without cringing (I would suggest listening to that voice in your head, if it'd make you cringe, it's likely to make whoever you're saying it to cringe as well)

-----

fwiw, these books tend to be exceptionally easy reads, so I suggest checking them out, taking what you find useful, and leaving what you don't

I work for a large consulting firm that does both of these activities (data engineer/analyst delivering rapid value + long-term data scientist / architects engineering fully integrated solutions connecting ML to business process) and I can say without a doubt we get much higher feedback from the the former than the latter.

Most businesses think small. I'm not even sure it's about risk/reward, either. I think people really don't have vision especially when it comes to technology and more specifically data.

The next generation is coming, though.

I think the issue is that with out of the box rails apps, there's not a lot of opportunity to perform one of these 'targeted air strikes'. Emergent requirements incentivize quick solutions and you can end up with a bunch of ad-hoc foundation components and really bad jquery-ui slapped around in erb files.

At least, that's been my (very limited) experience with it.

> Most applications need to be reasonably fast, reasonably responsive, and extremely easy to maintain and extend.

Exactly this. I do a lot of freelance rails work and have worked on all kinds of ruby/rails projects. I would say for honestly at least 80% probably around 90% of projects, the "old school boring" rails way is by far the way to go. The whole front end heavy craze is really not the right choice unless you need a very high degree of desktop-like interactivity which again is something most i.e. 80/90% of applications I see in the wild do not require.
