The thing is that we already have/had that. Data science is really just a blend of statistics, machine learning, data engineering, and software development. I think the data science explosion is the result of more people/companies wanting to hire a single person to do all of these jobs rather than individuals for each.

If we ever go back to a world where we distinguish people by these specialties we would basically just be going back a decade to where we had statisticians focusing on statistics, data engineers maintaining databases, software developers creating the prodect, etc. (which isn't necessarily a bad thing).
I'm glad the poster, posted their article instead of this knee jerk reaction. My manager is a good person. This team deserves good workers. This company deserves more support than knee-jerk reactions such as "If your manager is more inexperienced than you, QUIT!" This is why our grandparents think we have no company loyalty.
Electron/Chrome is not slow or bloated. The majority of people developing for the platform are idiots who do not know a damn about memory management or writing performant code. They just throw in some random code copy/pasted from stackoverflow or download a npm package and then cry about memory usage and performance.

The general reason for the performance of C/C++ apps is that the language forces you to care about your memory usage. The lack of a garbage collector ensures that you think twice about what memory you allocate and free. Someone with a background in c/c++ will write efficient electron apps. Their past experience ensures that they reflexively write good code.

I wrote an electron based music player that uses less memory than a native player developed in c# that i wanted to replace.
I spend an hour reviewing and profiling every feature that I add to ensure that i am not wasting memory. And it shows.

People need to understand that it is not the platform that is slow. It is the stupid code that you write without a thought that is the problem.
The real question is why those pages are being held in RAM. If they're needed, swapping them out will induce latency. I'd they're a leak or not needed, the application should be fixed to not allocate swathes of RAM it does not use.
A string of good mentors at companies where this was a valued activity. (Though it left me wholly unprepared at places where that’s not the norm)
The "unified Italy" only happened in 1860/1861, and the Northern Italian state was the "Kingdom of Sardinia", which comprised mostly Sardinia, Liguria and Piedmont. Only 1.5 centuries ago.

What you are referring to is the Norman conquest, which is different.
Cool - thanks!
I've had every previous Nintendo console to date except for the Wii U. I've gone through 2 SNES's, 2 N64's, 2 Gamecubes, 3 Wii's, but 0 Wii U's.

Nintendo had a great streak going, and they just ruined it with such a shit piece of hardware. Sure, the Wii was pretty terrible, but it redeemed itself with the ease of which it can be hacked and customized, plus the Wiimotes were pretty neat even if not perfect.

My solution to shitty hardware? Buy the games and emulate. Never touch that awful gamepad.

I don't care if full-blown 100% commercial emulation dropped tomorrow, I will still buy a Switch this year and probably another in a couple years.

Hardware design is extremely important, and with Nintendo's commitment to continually finishing last in the GFX arms race, it's all they have. At least with the Switch, they found a way to justify reduced graphical performance with a hybrid mobile design.

As soon as some nice third-party joycons hit the market, I'm in.
Hmm I agree with 1st part on the second parts most public tech companies grant RSUs.
It does not open an infinite amount of doors, these days it merely prevents doors from closing.

If your life is disrupted because you find yourself having to ship and maintain side projects just to get a job or be considered a good developer, then ask yourself, are you writing code or is code writing you?
Hopefully NASA uses it to do real science instead of further buzzwordy grant title creation.

Actually, decentralization has hurt Ethereum quite a lot since Ethereum Classic was created because of the DAO.
Your recommendation doesn't take into account monitor size. If you always keep the top at eye level, the larger a monitor you get (assuming same distance away), the farther and farther down most of the monitor will be. Monitor sizes have grown a lot over time.
I believe the definition was purposefully left vague to allow authorities more discretion in shutting down the services designed to facilitate peer to peer transactions(e.g. sites resembling localbitcoins).
While I think luck plays a major part, in almost all cases the consequences of a retaliation set quite a high bar for the evidence from warning systems to pass. In the case of shooting down spy planes, that bar is lower. In the case of arresting a foreign national on suspicion of espionage, it's lower still. If armageddon wasn't on the table, many of the individuals involved in these close calls might have acted differently.

So I agree we've been lucky, but I think we should acknowledge that mutually assured destruction has at least loaded the dice.
openlayers has more functionality built-in.

Not quite relevant here.
Or some people like me believed in the technology and decided that an early fix was a good thing. Most people who were against the fix did not care much about ethereum, if they did they are on ethereum classic now.
Hidden control flow is why I decided to learn Zig [1]. I was learning Rust, and I intend to keep at it, but I have chosen Zig to be my C replacment because I am personally finding it easier to be more productive. Andrew Kelley's doing a great job with the language!

That's correct but this not a parimutuel wager, it's fixed odds; so if you take Atlanta at 3 to 1, you will be paid 3 to 1 for Atlanta winning regardless of what other folks bet. In parimutuel your payout would adjust according to the rest of the money wagered until the betting closed. Horse race bets are often parimutuel, but most proposition bets such as these are not.

The books can be wrong, and the betting markets aren't perfect but they can be useful tool to gather what the rough consensus is at any given time.
If the UK, France, and China were not main actors in the Cold War, then why are they, along with Israel, Pakistan, India, and North Korea, main actors in the modern world? The UK and France haven't exactly been getting more important in the past 50 years in global affairs.
You need to draw some triangles and relate b to w. Assuming a still, straight shore, the answer will depend on your distance to the waterline, the ball's distance to the waterline, and the distance parallel to the shore separating your starting spot and the ball's spot.
One of the things that my travels have shown me is that there are people everywhere. To eradicate humanity completely is an exceedingly hard task. Maybe a massive nuclear conflict would destroy civilization and our knowledge to the point that the last ones alive would simply give up, but we're an incredibly hardy and adaptive species. See: Greenland, the Andes, Nepal, Siberia, Nunavut (36000 people on 2 million square kilometers, you'd have to roughly assign one bomb per person to ensure you got everybody) and so on. Some of those places are likely to be on somebodies annihilation short list, but all of them would require a degree of carpet bombing with nukes that I highly doubt it will happen. Though Washington DC, and just about every other major capital would very likely be a smoking crater.
Also (as seen from 4,000,000 ly away) is there necessarily a difference between a civilization and the technological artifacts of the civilization? Could it be that some members of a civilization would be happy with a change and other ones not?
They can claim something is illegal all they want, but that has no impact whatsoever on the actual legality of it. Anti-consumer EULA/TOS items haven't held up in court for a while now.
Can you show me where in the post that is described because I do not see it. All I see is a description of how they moved the UploadToS3 aspect to a job queue, but it's still sending individual files to S3.

Cool. I'm looking to setup a simple mail server at work. It's only purpose would be for users to receive emails about their batch jobs. Would this be an overkill? How secure is this to be exposed to the public IP?
But in general, they don’t. You have to be very, very good for your contributions as an IC to outweigh the value of a merely decent manager.

What I’m saying is they the pay tends to mostly reasonably represent value, in my experience. With a slight discount due to ICs often being bad negotiators (bit so are technical managers). As an individual, you have to consider what the job does for you, not just the other way around. If you want to increase your salary, absolutely you should be considering how you can change what you do to make a compelling argument that you are (or will) bringing more value.

Which isn’t to say that a great IC can’t bring a ton of value - it’s just that they are also rare.

What makes it harder is that typical IC ‘s lack both the visibility and experience to estimate value well (in the bottom line sense). So without infrastructure around it, you are at high risk of spending expensive time on the wrong things.

Quite the contrary, they probably have a very good understanding and are happy to take losing wagers on San Jose and the public is willing to oblige.
This is bass ackwards. The founders get diluted more than anyone else. Every time you issue a new tranche of equity, the existing holders take dilution proportional to the share they currently own.

If the original founders each hold 40%, and some employee holds 1%, after 50% dilution (common after the first couple rounds) the founders are down to 20% and the employee is down to 0.5%. It's possible to bump a star employee up by 0.5% to counter dilution. It is impossible to bump the founders up by 20% to get them back where they started.

The reason founders are OK with this is that they understand that 40% of a $1m company is worth less than 20% of a $10m company.

Sounds like it might be a network problem? Like for instance if you (like a number of other HN-ers I guess) like to restrict firewalls as much as possible?
It seems somewhat ridiculous that he managed to convince five people to "invest" in his idea. I'm surprised the article didn't touch on what seems to be the larger point: Don't advertise things you don't sell. The ad was dishonest not because people actually expected a harrier jet, but because it tried to make a non-existent association between something "cool" and its product.

This is of course something very hard to legislate, but it still feels dishonest to me, more so than almost any ad seen today.
> but I think we should acknowledge that mutually assured destruction has at least loaded the dice.

Even loaded dice come up '1' every now and then. So that's just a means of staying in the game a little longer, it will not ensure a long term outcome.
The Soviets also traded Lada cars for New Zealand dairy products (mainly butter) [1], and after the fall of the Soviet Union, Russia apparently even offered MiG fighter jets, a nuclear submarine, and tanks in an attempt to pay its $200mm debt it owed the New Zealand Dairy Board [2], which is particularly ironic as New Zealand was at the time (and still is) a nuclear free nation.

If you're on AWS I would probably go with DynamoDB, if you're on GCP Datastore. They aren't drop-in replacements for one another but the way you architect your system will be similar(ish). The main benefit is that it'll cost less upfront and require less to manage. Now that AWS have simplified back-ups it's a pretty simple system to operate. If you're looking for better controls over latency then I'd probably go with Cassandra.

There's a big caveat to any NoSQL database and that's how you handle aggregates/roll-ups. With a standard database it's easy to write these queries. If you do it without thinking on a NoSQL system it'll cost you in performance and where billed per access, money. There's a few ways to address this;

- batch ala map-reduce.

- streaming ala Apache Beam, Spark, etc.

- in query counting (aka sharded counters).
No they cannot. Code that is loaded into memory stays in memory when three is no swap. (Mlock is to prevent swap out or compression - major faults.)
The exception would be lazy library loading. BIND_NOW is your friend in this case.

Essentially having no swap is similar to having everything mlocked - no major faults can happen except with mmapped files which will just use direct disk IO.

If you mean disk caches, when have you seen a multigigabyte executable?
I think the average business gets no advantage from a mobile app as opposed to a web site. The average user gets an active detriment since I find "apps" are frequently harder to use than web sites, are less frequently updated, less complete, buggier, etc.
It's literally close to worthless. If the startup is not being funded by top 5 VC outfits your chances of payout already drop to pretty much 0 and even if it is all things considered it still will not compensate for the salary haircut you took even in most best case scenarios. So there is no rational way to make an argument that working for startup makes $ sense. There are obviously other reasons why you might want to work for a startup but rational $ analysis is def not one of them.

I feel the same way. Headspace's guided take 10 course was a solid introduction for me, but once I got used to regular practice, headspace's "extras" weren't needed anymore. Now all I really want is a timer and tracking of when I meditated, so I use Insight Timer.
I suspect you mean UltraHLE (Ultra 64 was the original name of the Nintendo 64) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UltraHLE

Another oddity is the GBA - an emulator for the machine existed before it was even released (GBAemu - I believe it was capable of at least running Nintendo's tech demos), and BoycottAdvance was, IIRC, at least somewhat viable around the time of the US launch of the console.
What do you mean by "iterative exfiltriation"?

Does this mean PII can be extracted by an attacker one user at a time?
Certainly UX can always be improved, but doing so without proper training and making the operator ultimately responsible for their actions is just ridiculous.

Sure the buttons could have been named something different, but with a confirmation box, this UX passes what should be considered reasonable to prevent a literate and aware individual (the only type that should be approved for this position) from making a mistake like this.

I'm really astonished at the need to defend my position on this... it's almost like everyone replying here is thinking that they, too, would treat a legitimate missile defense drill (in the era of saber-rattling between Trump and Kim) the same way they treat installing a software EULA or an update to their FB ToS.
Not to discount your experience, which is pretty consistent with my own, but what you've just described is writing your own wrapper component.

I think there's something to be said for doing it yourself, particularly when the available options make you have to care about their internals anyway. But perhaps some of that effort might be put towards making a better open-source wrapper.
Electrifying current models, as the article says, is a bad idea. You loose many advantages of an electric car, such as more interior room.

This sounds like the kind of thing the EU has laws for, where a company is legally mandated to fix vulnerabilities that may reveal personally identifiable information if made aware of these. Worth asking someone who's more of a lawyer than I am about that (since I am definitely not a lawyer).
Yes! Why is the action to run a routine test right next to the action to start a consequential chain of events?

My original comment was not meant to say we should pay more or pay less to teachers, the whole argument is a red herring. Teachers should make a professional salary for their location and they mostly do. There are certainly some outlier states who do not value teachers and they are having increasing difficulty retaining teachers. This system is working.

My comment was meant to highlight the disparity between districts. You can pit the best US students against the best students from any country and get excellent rankings. Our worst students are far worse then other developed nations. We need to address the systematic problems in our country that are causing us to value certain students more, and give them better opportunities. All children deserve opportunity.
Slight correction; its not in shareholders interest to make less revenue, and they are in charge. If it was up to Facebook engineers, I think they would come up with much more fancy tweaks and ways for you to enjoy your feed.

If you want more interesting consoles that break from the "set top box" paradigm, be sure to buy a switch.

If you want more games that are awesome and fun to play, buy those games.

Only after you've bought them (or can no longer legally buy them), break them apart and create roms and emulators for your own use.

Artists will often create even without pay, but the scale and quality of many of these games is beyond what even a group of artists could create in a decade long side project.

It's strange that they seem to think this is an amazing amount of scaling and then go on to reveal that it's actually with 20 servers. And it's not like their solution is novel.

Sorry, but I have first hand experience on multiple occasions in the bay area that say otherwise. I'll take my anecdata and disprove your anecdata.

As a long time HN'r myself, I really appreciate the comments you add to discussions, but telling people "you are not X" will make it difficult to get your point across. Not to mention, you don't even live/work here. How are you so comfortable postulating on something you don't have direct experience with?
For what it's worth, you can just to Ctrl+K (and I assume Cmd+K) in Slack to quickly jump to a channel, no need for shift.
Always "Hi $name" or "Hello $name". "Hey" feels to me like a California-ism and just a touch too informal for email in particular. Whether the downvotes on my original comment support or reject this hypothesis, I cannot say.
For me, it was reading “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance” — one small part of it especially.

Long before Pirsig begins asking fundamental questions like, “What can we know?”, and “What is the meaning of Quality?”, he mentions the seed of his destruction — his realization when studying biochemistry that there were an infinite number of possible theories that he could propose to explain any observation, and that there was no way he could ever know which theory was right, nor would he live long enough to soundly validate any hypothesis he might invent of his own.

Pirsig's ensuing battle with subjective thinking and eventual mental decline as he lost faith that objectivity was fruitful as a way of life, much less realizable... This was my first glimpse into the futility of pursuing a life dedicated to exploring objective reality, i.e. science.

In the 30 years since, I can only confirm that epiphany — there is far more to be gained by telling people what they want to hear and by self promotion than in persisting with reality. Storytellers are far more beloved than are sticklers for the truth.

Except, if you read that entry closely you’ll see that the Tea Act combatted smuggling. While the Wikipedia talks about the grievance of colonists, what I learned in high school in Boston (different from what my kid learned in California) was consistent with this: it was the smugglers who destroyed the tea.

New England remained a hotbed of smuggling. Consider the origin of the Kennedy fortune or the current heroin and people smuggling channels through New Bedford and Rhode Island.

Also note the opposition to pot legalization in some of the rural counties of California appears to mostly be lead by illegal pot growers afraid of their (de facto, though not de jure) government price support going away.
