Take a week off and go travel to India or Africa(Ethiopia, Sahara Morocco, Congo are good candidates) or Tibet. Join some NGO or missionary for helping them.

You need perspective in your live to understand how really lucky you are. It is always greener on the other side of the fence.

Your life is miserable and the faster you change your track the better for your life.

For me it is just obscene hearing you. You are a passive aggressive coward. If you think sales is so good, do it for a month! It is a very useful skill and most places will let you do sales if you do engineering.

I do it with the engineers in my company. Clients love to hear engineers and trust them more than just sales rep, and engineers learn about people skills and good product design.

Most of them will go back being able to create products more useful to clients as they know their problems and being grateful about the existence of people doing the sales for them.

People in sales learn to respect the knowledge of engineers. They also believe the greener is on the other side if they live isolated from engineers.
It's true -- as Jeff (lead core dev/maintainer the last several years) often says "Wes gets the kudos, I get the hate-mail"

The Top 26 Blockchain, Crypto, Bitcoin, Altcoin Related Podcasts – Novice to Pro
Both of these are redundant as long as there is the country code already included in the API response object.
Good thing they aren't abandoning AJAX Crawling Scheme support though. Specialized lisp dialects are the lifeblood of our industry.
I can't find the source right now but I read somewhere that it would take approximately 100 years to mine the last few bitcoins in the blockchain. The difficulty will be very high and I'm guessing the transaction fees will be high to incentivize miners to keep going.
I don't think it's event possible to change the protocol and allow for more coins to be added since this would create an entirely new blockchain?
Agreed. Also this "The ... vulnerability affects ... Android 5.0 and newer... Applications that have been signed with APK signature scheme v2 and that are running on devices supporting the latest signature scheme (Android 7.0 and newer) are protected against the vulnerability."
Objective-C was the first language I used where I looked under the covers and tried to understand the machinery of the language, and its extremely dynamic nature makes it a great place to start to understand language runtimes.

It's so conceptually simple, and (aside from objc_msgSend) you can implement the whole thing in C. libobjc2 has (if I'm counting correctly) 23 .c files, and it includes things you can totally ignore as you're learning, like an ObjC garbage collection implementation that no one uses anymore.

The only tricky part is the message-sending routines, since they have to be written in assembly. But as long as you understand what they're doing (rather than how they're doing it), you don't even need to look at those if you don't want to.

Today, McKinney works full time on Pandas and other open-source data science projects as a software engineer(...)

What? It seems McKinney didn't commit almost anything for the past few years to pandas (not lowering his contribution per-se, but the article made it sounds like he's still dedicated to improvements of pandas).

Written by a true salesman.
This is what I don't understand. If you can watch every transaction, is the key to successfully getting away with theft the ability to withdraw funds without being detected?
People programming in Go today already have workarounds to provide the functionality of generics, but at the cost of type safety and speed.

It is very common (especially in libraries) to pass `interface{}` around and use reflection to do manual type checking and type casting.

With generics the code that uses `interface{}` today would actually be much more readable, because the intention of the author would be clear.
Get in with a small, clever company. Do, fail and repeat but better. Just like data science.
Large companies. Meh.
How would a sysadmin use Wayland? I would expect lack of remoting to be a showstopper.
True but for most users it's enough.

And it's sometimes the only information they have if the geolocation api doesn't give them anything.

That is exactly what it is. It is informing Coinbase's customers that their resources are finite and that they cannot be relied upon to execute trades nor provide support in a heartbeat.

It is important that they say this, as it appears to be true.

PSA: If you're a Coinbase customer, and you have never made a withdrawal, are you aware that there are weekly sell limits, priced in USD, not BTC? It was a surprise to me.

If you're sitting on a little BTC kitty at Coinbase that has grown large, do know that you may not be able to convert it all to USD on a single trade even if Coinbase has liquidity and buyers.
Their support for rendering JavaScript is, IMO, that they have turned Chrome's engine into their web crawler.

We see some signs of this with the chrome headless project and with the fact that Chrome, masquerading as a mobile viewport, can be used as an effective mobile crawler, even when the mobile UX is provided primarily by JavaScript.

I think they still use a plain HTTP request based crawler for "most" sites (mainly for speed), but then flip on Chrome-based crawling for popular sites and for sites that seem to be JS-heavy. I see no reason why, long term, Chrome wouldn't become the primary crawl/render engine for Google.
We are going back to server rendered templates yes. We are using erb's for templating, jquery, sass and bootstrap, and Turbo Links. It's old and boring and works like an absolute charm. It's not that we don't use JavaScript, we do quite a bit (we're not into CoffeeScript, it's a personal preference). We are using Action Cable for rendering data through web sockets which is one of many examples of a JavaScript heavy portion of our application. We also have a near native mobile application for Android and iOS. Other than the wrapper for the mobile applications, the application is monolithic.

Overall, we've seen a substantial increase in speed, responsiveness, and most importantly our ability to maintain and extend the application.
This looks good, I could imagine buying one for my daughter, though we in the UK and this is in US English.

I'm guessing internationalised versions are not in the future - apart from "Behavior" are there many other US spellings in it ?

It took me quite a while to realise the picture of the cover was a link to Amazon, but maybe that is just me.
Sorry, but "single payer systems" "cost so much less" because they externalize and obscure and obfuscate the costs in many different ways and the whole accounting of the system is totally inaccurate. You are also trying to compare an American system agains single payer systems that are made up of generally healthy people.

There is simply no easy way to determine how the single payer systems would deal with things like the huge black obesity rates and accompanying diabetes and dialysis and associated complications. And that doesn't even address the fact that, of course single payer systems "cost so much less" when the government sets the qualifications for care AND the government further obscures the true cost by heavily subsidizing it with tax money that is involuntarily taken from lip service citizens.

I find it rather baffling that ostensibly intelligent people simply cannot seem to wrap their minds around the fact that the true costs of single payer systems are not at all easily detectable. And that doesn't even go into the far greater issue of the authoritarian nature of single payer systems where you are forced to not only pay for something, but you don't even have control over it.
contrary to what you may believe, some people need to work on content and should not be touching security. it's absurd to expect apple to fire all their non-security related staff and replace them with a whole organization of engineers that only work on basic security.

I do agree that apple has had a ton of problems in this area and needs to work on it, but this example is very played out and boring.
Counterparty risk is through the roof.

I tried moving some prediction market contracts on US Election Day, couldn’t trade anything due to traffic volume. This feels familiar.

Decades of technical and legal work went into our stock exchanges, the bitcoin bucket shops are a few generations behind. It doesn’t matter until suddenly it does.
It's begging the question by making the basics of your political philosophy axiomatic.
The problem is that the individual coins aren't tagged. It's not like cash where you could conceivably note the serial numbers of all the bills that were stolen. You can track the theft and see where the coins got sent, then see where those wallets sent additional coins, etc., but they'll soon get mixed up with legitimate coins (especially if the thief uses a mixer) and you won't be able to know which is which.

It would be possible to fork Bitcoin to reject the transactions used in the theft, thereby restoring the funds. This is what Ethereum did for the DAO hack. But so far, the Bitcoin community hasn't shown a willingness to do this.
I didn't see any problems like that in Firefox 57 under Windows 10.
That’s not how you make money.
yes, there has been serious thought to this.

The fee to verify transactions is based on an auction model. Miners will always pick the transactions with the highest fee. If you want your transaction confirmed, you'll increase the fee. Or lower it, because you can afford to wait for it to be confirmed later.
First of all, I don't think 90% will get concentrated between just 100K people by the time cryptocurrencies actually do take over (and they will, in some form). And then I don't mind money being more concentrated among tech people, they are generally more rational and tend to spend on important things.
Trending Kotlin app on GitHub
Most of her claims are true for all 40h full-time jobs, which is the majority of all jobs. In that logic, nobody would have kids.

But.. I totally struggle with keeping a life aside to 40-60h work aswell so I wont blame her - I feel the same.
Of course there is; my folks don't have Facebook. But it's one of those points of data that, if you can confirm, should increase the confidence of a valid transaction.

That font is ridiculously huge. It's painful to read. Looks like the browser's font resize functionality is blocked but you can change the size by resizing your browser width. I really don't like that UI pattern.
Yes, if those laws were able/used to silence PhDs using the title Doctor and/or nurses giving informal friendly diagnoses.

The proper test is fraud, not trademark or unauthorized subject matter.
What is the optimization algorithm for these if not backpropagation? This page does mention the use of hyperparameters for optimization and compares itself to an adaptive stochastic gradient descent method, which makes me think that it is using backpropagation.
So sitting AND standing are both out. Now what? Walking desks? Neutral buoyancy fluid desks? Supine desks?

This will help when CME and CBOE get their contracts launched, right? They can handle the real life traffic for such thing as crude oil. I do not think the bitcoin volume would phase them very much...
Gas inelastic as a good, but gas vendors are easily substitutable with low friction. The vendor you get gas from one week doesn't need to be the same as the next. And that transaction, the purchase of gas is completely interchangeable and identical from one week to the next.

Medicare care in general does not have any of those characteristics (except for maybe annual checkups - but that's not where the bulk of medical costs are in our system). That has to do with the nature of the product and how it must be delivered, not necessarily with any monopoly effect. Even with a checkup, if you go to a different doctor every time that would reduce the effectiveness of the care.
I've been working on innovating core computational and IO infrastructure for pandas (and projects like pandas) --
much of this work has been happening in other codebases. See: http://wesmckinney.com/blog/apache-arrow-pandas-internals/
The vuln affects all APKs on 5.0 <= Android < 7.0, and APKs not signed with APK Signature Scheme v2 on Android 7.0 and newer.
Surely you could have used data to have demonstrated how poor the ‘non robust’ model was and won the glory of the guy who argues and proves points(and is disliked for it?). My experience.
Also keep in mind people are lazy. The higher up the chain you go the worse it seems to get.

I recommend all e-mails to Director and above be written as if your audience is a hyperactive teenager. Go with simple statements (they don't understand nuance) and bullet points.
This article assumes that every developer works for an SV-style start-up that requires 80 hour weeks building trivial things. I work in the medical industry, rarely work more than 40 hours a week, take six weeks of vacation a year, and can generally feel okay about my output actually helping people lead better lives.

Of course, yes, sometimes I do a lot of BS things at my job. However, as another comment has already noted, there are few jobs that include some sort of BS at some point. That is why it is called "work."
Software development has proven methods for organizing labor by labor instead of by the whims of the owning class. The most useful software in the world is developed by an ecosystem of communities that resembles anarchist, communist ideas of how society at large could operate. Because of the unique capital requirements for software development, cooperative firms are more viable than in any other industry. We could be doing our work in radically different ways.

Too bad most programmers are allergic to collective labor action.
You can just pass it through mixers to anonymize it.

Input 1,000 different peoples coins, output any one of their coins one at a time. There's no way to know whose coins are coming out the other side.

So what does one do when you tried to verify, but coinbase shows this:

Driver's License + Photo Verification
Reason:Unknown response status:

Every time I take a photo, I see "we're verifying your ID." Then nothing happens...

Edit: Even worse. Their status page implies things are working now, but they don't. I found that I can retry the upload, but now it says "You have reached the maximum attempts for identity verification, please try again in 24 hours." Wow.
Do they not lay out those limits in a clear way somewhere or had you not looked for the info?
Please show me where can you buy a $800 card that can be used to develop for the _compute_ architectures; i.e. the GV100 or the GP100 for that matter.

Also, please show me how can you use those $800 cards for serious computing/research without potentially running into silly issues and a lot of pain (from not being able to use the "supported" standard OpenCL to running into cooling, fan speed, clocking issues that makes reliable perf tuning a pain, etc.).
Despite the sizable and ongoing increases in our technical infrastructure and engineering staff, we wanted to remind customers that access to Coinbase services may become degraded or unavailable during times of significant volatility or volume. This could result in the inability to buy or sell for periods of time. Despite ongoing increases in our support capacity, our customer support response times may be delayed, especially for requests that do not involve immediate risks to customer account security. You can read more in our Coinbase User Agreement.

This is the problem they should be solving, not avoiding with blog posts
By the way, you really think Coinbase's BTC is insured even after the massive gains in BTC's price?

What do you think will happen if Coinbase's cold storage gets emptied?

If you're storing your coins on Coinbase, you're doing it wrong. Get your coins under your control.
I could count on one hand the number of good recruiters I have worked with and the number of Voltron lion robots.

Every second I spent talking to a recruiter has been an absolutely unmitigated waste of time. And they always try to waste so much of my time, too. They always seem to want to "touch base" and "reach out", or try to mine my contact list for other prospects. It didn't take long for me to figure out that they care not at all about my outcome, and overwhelmingly prefer quantity over quality.
The health care system has arbitrarily chosen the "hospital" as the place where nobody can be turned away.

If your kid has a possible ear infection or broken arm, and you have insurance, you go to an urgent care clinic. If you don't have insurance, you go to a hospital. In all other respects, the care is the same.
The same NiceHash that had every single one of their 4700 BTC stolen yesterday...?
I have a Drip page for Radical Digital Painting here: https://d.rip/jeffreyheart89

To be honest the product and UX still has a long way to go but I enjoy Kickstarter's enthusiasm about it to say the least.
Reading other parts of the thread, people are describing issues that I didn't experience at all while browsing the site. No issues with broken back button, changing URL for each picture, etc.

It's behaving differently at work on FF57+Win7 than it did at home on FF57+Win10 and FF57+Linux though, so I've got to assume it's some kind of browser compatibility issue.
Yes it is possible to check the history of a Bitcoin and see that it has been stolen. Provided that you take the effort to do that.

This is no different than when a bank is robbed and banknotes are stolen. The bank might have written down the numbers of the banknotes and those can be published. But most shops won't check those when somebody buys something.
Absolutely loved "Everything and More". It went waaay over my head at a lot of points and I studied a lot of (applied) math in college. I believe it shows more respect for its reader than any other book I've read. I do think it works better for people who have read DFW's fiction - some people I've recommended it to put it down pretty quickly due to finding its style of prose pretentious.
Well, he isn't exactly wrong. But redirecting like that is pretty immature in itself.
Black mothers keep dying after giving birth
To me the books looks quite underwhelming. It seems focused too much on the superficial aspects of programming, like jargon a software engineer may mention occasionally at home. It may look fun and appealing to their adult parent. But what can a child learn from it?

Maybe doing more with math (even if at 1+1=2 level), repetitive processes as loops, idea of recursion, idea that a computer cannot compute more than one can do with pencil and paper.. More _universal_ aspects of computation can be really illuminating to kids, I think.
The question was whether it was a "big" risk. Every action, including the decision not to take a particular action, is a non-zero risk.
If the geolocation api doesn't give anything - that probably means the user has chosen to configure it this way because they don't want to share their location. You should probably ask them in case you actually need to know where they are.
So now you've simplified your 1 app server into 2 app servers that aren't even the same language or environment.
How is that relevant?

In many European countries, gasoline taxes are quite high. Wikipedia's "Fuel tax" page says that in 2014 Germans paid US$6.14 per US gallon of gasoline.

Yet there is also an abundance of suppliers in Germany.

The hospitals in many European countries are publicly owned and operated. Quoting Wikipedia's "Healthcare in Denmark" page, "The central government plays a relatively limited role in health care in Denmark ... Hospital care is mainly provided by hospitals owned and run by the regions."

There are five such regions. Aren't there, using your argument, also five local monopolies in Denmark? But the situation in Denmark is nothing like the US.
What really pisses me off is how it got handled by NiceHash:

Alex Zvyozdny: Many of you already know that the site reddit spread information about the alleged hacking of our service. We hasten to assure everyone that your bitcoins are safe and sound. And we are the largest pool in the CIS countries are not going to close, but rather increase our presence in the regions.
In connection with the increased number of those wishing to mine the crypto currency at our sites, as well as rent or lease capacities for mining, we conduct PLANNED technical works, which are to be completed on Friday morning. From December 8, the service will work in the standard mode.
Since this is the most massive update in the last two years, we have indeed suspended all Bitcoin payments, and the funds were taken to a safe place. After the works - everything will be returned to their places. Please do not panic!
Sincerely yours, NiceHash.
Yes because I'm sure those same people are also able to work on security.
I don't see why you're getting down-voted. If you've got "bad" insurance that fake ID from college and memorizing 12 random digits is probably more useful when it comes to emergency care. Sad but true.
Honestly not really, the blog "bleeding heart libertarians" tends to focus on the consequentialist arguments more, but most of the contributors seem to be deontological in outlook.

Most of the consequentialists wind up becoming pretty standard neo-liberals as they are willing to consider government intervention when needed.
Something like that yes.

You can try to conceal your coins by sending to many addresses, using mixer services to switch your coins with someone else and then trade them often to other cryptocurrencies which makes them harder to track. I would personally try to trade them for Monero where you basically can't trace your transactions.
Maybe just less hours in total at a desk (aka work)?
I think that was the point she was trying to make.
Use seq_len(n) instead of 1:n to get an empty vector for n=0.

There's also seq_along(x) instead of 1:length(x).
Well they are characters so they are in different sizes by design (like vector graphics).
