Even if you enjoy it, you're still limited by human capabilities: I've seen so many slides that were laden with dense technical information that essentially nobody could get through in the time before the presenter hit "next slide," and I've made some, too. Your goal will not let you say less than necessary; so I say you should always cut every word whose absence won't defeat you. A second is a valuable thing, and you're either writing poetry or working where the second is a unit of cost. (In the extreme, if your goal doesn't require you to write or say anything, then why get words involved at all?)
I partially agree, but I think is has less to do with social safety nets and more to do with our atrocious healthcare regulations. I can go to my dentist or a car mechanic and know how much something is going to cost me. Good luck getting a quote from a doctor's office or medical insurance provider. And don't mind that auxiliary bill that arrives 6 months later. Wait, what appointment was that?

The fact is heathcare costs are outrageous, medical insurance rates are just as bad, and our current regulations are clearly not making it better. I don't know whether the ACA has slowed the progression or made it worse (everyone seems to disagree). But it needs to be fixed. That could include heavy price controls, "free-market" insurance, "single-payer" insurance, or whatever else. That would require both parties in Congress to work together, though, and not on pet projects.
Looks very cool and I'm going to give the free tier a try on a project. But this concerns me:

> Can I update my card details?

What is your process there? You're not asking people to send credit card information via email, right?
Yeah. You can do keystroke logging without root but typing into password fields can't be intercepted. This would be a nice complement to that capability.
Amazingly it runs really well on a standard MBP with Intel graphics (under Chrome 62); though if you choose "insane" mode it chokes hard.
Excuse my ignorance on the subject, but isn’t the CDS issued and traded by third parties unrelated to the company it pertains to? I don’t see how the company in question has any moral obligation to not take this deal, nor do I see why it would affect future CDSs, which will almost certainly add a clause that prevents this from happening.
Everything and More is a delight... right up until the last chapter where he manages (iirc) to misstate the continuum hypothesis and generally garble a lot of modern set theory. To be fair that’s where the theory of infinity really crosses over from what a competent amateur can understand to something that requires fairly deep mathematical knowledge.

No, this is in the menu bar of OSX that shows [File, Edit, View...] of which should embed an item that says "Open Location...". It is there for Safari and Chrome. This isn't just any item, it allows quick access to the omnibar. As it is, it defaults to command+L and I want to map that.

It is part of the application and it use to be there. The fact it regressed in feature is unfortunate but more so the shortcut allows me to perform quicksearch on the omnibar which is actually very important to have. (Instead of using the mouse to click on it). Just because you have never heard of someone using it, please don't downplay its importance to others. It can be a make or break feature.
The speed limit is irreverent. It's about relative speed between vehicles. Slower stays to the right. Slightly faster moves left to pass them as they come up behind them and moves right as soon as appropriate afterwards. Apply recursively for the number of lanes.

The "I'm following the law, screw moving over for anyone " attitude when applied in the left lane is exactly the problem that's causing this discussion.

>So people need to chill when the driver in front of them seems to be traveling 2mph below the max speed limit.

This attitude is exactly the problem.

No, that person needs to stop making a rolling road block and move over. Even if I'm going 10+ faster than the next lane to my right I'll move into the next open spot and slow down if there's someone who comes up behind me. It's just basic manners. It's the exact same at 55mph as it is at 85mph.

Maybe not in the legal field, but the counter example is online advertising (ppc).

Not sure what you mean here, COM has become the main way of doing Windows APIs since Vista, going full circle to the original design of COM Runtime with WinRT (now UWP).

If Järlström had actually referred to himself as a traffic engineer then both the state and you would have a point. But he didn't. He said he had an engineering degree which he has and he stated that he was doing work related to the problem which he was.

"Tan" doesn't necessarily mean that someone got that tan through healthy sun exposure.

If you spend some time in the sun without getting a tan, it's still good for you even if you don't tan, as long as you're not burning.
Speaking only of the Facebook point, I'd bet quite a bit of money no more than 100-200 of your friends have any idea you posted that or ever saw it. It's been 5 years or more since you could be guaranteed your friends would see something you posted on FB.

This looks like a nice book but I'm wondering if the overhead of learning Idris on top of Coq (which I'm familiar with) would have any benefits - would you say it's different enough from Software Foundations?
If this policy is based on fear of automation (and I sense that this is the case), it is totally misplaced.

Impending paradigm shifts are best adopted early and surmounted immediately, rather than waiting for someone else to reap the first fruit. Doing otherwise is equivalent to putting one's own head in the sand.
Pandas is useful and I don't want to bad mouth it as people obviously find it useful. However, it has a complicated API and contains about 200k lines of code. So, it is not a surprise that documentation is a challenge and that there are lot of Stack Overflow questions. For example, figuring out which method result in copies of the data vs new views is hard.

Compare with dlply. It solves a similar problem as pandas does but has a vastly simpler API. To be fair, Pandas does do more but dlply is also more flexible. I looked at implementing something like dlply in Python but you really need to have a lazy evaluation syntax. dlply makes extensive use of this feature of R. As the downside, it can be very confusing to new users as it is hard to debug this lazy evaluation code.

Rather than adopting Pandas to build our product, I built a very minimal version of it (on top of numpy) that only does what we need. That was some extra work but I'm happy I did it as we avoid this huge dependency. I understand quite well my little minimal version does, it is only about 1000 lines of Python code and some tiny C extensions.
My father is an executive at a major hospital and this is only part of it. There is also issues of brands forming monopolies when appearing in communities. Mergers are also incredibly complex. Also lots (but not all hospitals) are nonprofits which complicates it further. ERs are required to treat patients if they come in which means some are making tons of money while some not at all. One person can significantly alter ERs profits[0].

There's a way to still do the rm -rf / bypassing the warning but you shouldn't do that.

Ever since systemd was a thing, that command has stopped being 'safe'. It no longers solely affect the filesystem. It can wipe your EFI variables and make your comnputer unable to boot at all, even unable to boot installers to reinstall linux.

Some garbage services are like that: they'll go to your backyard and carry the bins to their truck, then put the bins back. This sort of service is only available when a single firm hasn't bribed its way into a municipal monopoly.
The way I'm thinking about it is that it's an instantiation of Noise where, except for the curves, all the crypto primitives are derived from Keccak.

Apart from just being a cool thing to design, Hamburg's rationale for STROBE was for microcontroller environments, where being able to derive everything from a single sponge function saves on text space.

If you don't have that very specific problem, there's not really a good reason to use STROBE (or Disco) --- it's subtantially slower than "vanilla" Noise, which uses primitives either designed to be fast on modern hardware (Chapoly) or that have hardware acceleration (AES-GCM).

Excuse me, I think that at this juncture a Kruskal-Wallis would be more appropriate (assuming multiple distributions).
Who do you like for short non-fiction? Just collecting recommendations.
Came here to say the same thing. I printed and bound a couple of books using the very instructions from this site back in the early 2000's. I tried to trim one of the books myself with the "chisel method" and I was displeased with how it turned out. The one that I had a buddy cut with a guillotine paper cutter at his workplace was much, much more pleasing.
+1 for Designing Data-Intensive Applications. I worked my way into the hadoop ecosystem a few years ago and read dozens of books before I started seeing the big picture of databases, data processing and distributed systems. This book gives the same grounding in a single read, it’s an instant classic.
That's a very intriguing idea. I'm definitely going to look into the mechanics of this. I don't know if it'd make it possible to have them in different sizes, but thanks for this! I'm definitely going to look into adding a field with this.

In addition to the sibling comment, there's a non-trivial risk that, when the crash happens, it's because of a legitimate, non-local drop in value, and you're stuck holding something worthless.
I think you're projecting. The simpler explanation is what he says, "although [Amazon has] thousands of books explaining how a construction site works, and hundreds of books explaining how farms work, they did not have any books that explained what I did [as a programmer]".
In the short term, some will be worse off, because their current certificates will be valid somewhere between 30 and 90 days, instead of the 0 to 365 that is common with traditional certificates.

Still, it's worth it. I have some private sites that now have TLS thanks to let's encrypt, which were plain HTTP before.

I picked two $1000 components from memory. I recognize that there are other choices out there, but $1000 is a nice round number and I honestly don't know the market any more to pick another price point.

If you know the name of a Xeon Skylake-server, and its memory capacity, that is roughly $1000 (and therefore comparable to a Titan X in MSRP cost), you are welcome to rerun the analysis yourself.

I can't do that because I don't know the capabilities of the Xeon Skylake servers from memory, nor their prices. And I'm certainly not going to spend 30 minutes googling this information for other people's sake.

What I will say is that the i9-7900x is a Skylake-server part with AVX512 support and Quad-channel memory. That's way stronger than a typical desktop. And I think assuming Quad-Channel 4xDDR4-3200MHz is pretty fair, all else considered.
I've seen enough regressions with enterprise stuff that I've wondered what their testing looks like. Of course they've always neglected the enterprise so I gave them the benefit of the doubt about the OS as a whole but now I'm starting to wonder.

Sorry. Libertarian philosophy is my bete noire. But the point is evident enough: I highly doubt libertarians can offer a credible macro-economic justification for the creation of a decentralised currency sustained by the whims of the market alone, and that they rely on the force of a prior moral theory. If the moral theory is void, so is the justification. I'm not sure how you would go about justifying bitcoin on its own terms. Its outside of effective social control, consumes masses of electricity, relies on centralised economies of scales in mining, and doesn't have any use-function apart from being a store of value. I imagine that blockchain technologies will have lots of useful applications down the road, but bitcoin is a primitive piece of technology that probably has a net negative effect on the world.
They can list a beneficiary on the payment, not an arbitrary number of beneficiaries. They can list a beneficiary tax residence on the payment, and that'll apply for the whole payment. Two beneficiaries means two amounts (you have to specify how much goes to person A, anyway), and thus two payments.

That may be his intention. But an author is not in full control over how a reader will interpret his work. And there is no doubt that a lot of people will read this work as if it is a tool for teaching their child coding, rather than as a way to teach them about what it is they do all day.
In my experience, many companies are wanting to hire a lot more data scientists (and paying them six-figure salaries to boot), when what they really are looking for are what has traditionally been called a "data analyst" position. I.E., the entire sum of the job is Excel reporting and basic statistics, but instead wrapped in some "Machine Learning" marketing language.

100% Agree.

Some of the execs I reported into were obsessed with the idea of being a startup within a large organization, and part of this was the assumption that one of the things startups did was use data better than big companies. To them, there was some hidden value in their data that their Business Analysts did not have the skills to unlock. Data Scientists are perceived as the magic key to unlock this value, even when what the business is asking for doesn't make sense or isn't feasible in the short-term.

One of the small ways we delivered value was to write small ETL scripts that fed into Tableau dashboards. People loved the Dashboards because it cut down on so much Excel stuff that was done weekly/monthly/quarterly, etc. The company did have a large IT org with a BI team, but they were always busy and took months to do anything. So for us to do ETL+Tableau in a few days was seen as a miracle. Plus, Tableau has an Excel export :)

Of course, ETL+Tableau wasn't enough to retain the team.
Not to besmirch you, but you outline the 'problem' very well: Hiring managers are people too. This means that they also come in a variety of shapes, colors, sizes, and with personalities and preferences. Essentially, the resume is as much a filter for the candidate as for the employer. Some candidates will have long extensive CVs that will appeal to some employers, some will be a tweet's worth of content that will appeal to others. There is no way to 'win' the application/hiring process. It's more like dating than a test.
>inflationistic, fractional-reserve-banking enabling

The entire point of bitcoin is lack of trust in the financial system and a trust in math. With bitcoin nobody can take it, nobody can dictate what your company is allowed to sell, by holding your access to the financial network hostage; nobody can force you to pay for their schemes by coin clipping or inflation and nobody can hide counter-party risk in fractional reserve-banking. Your money is either there or outright stolen, not messed with by Wall Street cronies.

Bitcoin exists because the current system is untrustworthy. what you are proposing is making Bitcoin less trustworthy.

I feel ya; this is almost exactly what I've felt this year. It's just incompetent management and leadership, and it's all too common. But it's incredibly demoralizing to be on the front lines of it. When you can't control anything, and are reduced to reacting on ever more tactical issues, it burns you out hard and fast. Indecisiveness is killer; better to pick something and do it, than waffle around forever spinning the wheels.
In classic gambling, whales are the people you comp high worth rooms, food, drugs to, because they are willing to drop huge sums on the games of chance.

I really like this idea and think it could even be expanded upon. What if applications had a screening survey? You answer a set of questions, auto-scored, and based on that score your resume is accepted or rejected. There can be a box to explain why you think you are qualified which can be read for all applications to stop filtering of good but atypical applicants.

Then you can submit a large resume with that. Hiring managers get more detail but also help in screening that 1-page resumes give the benefit of.

Even better, we really should get rid of the "make your own resume idea" and come up with a standard resume format by industry. Companies can then add supplements as needed.
