What's a "type two" error?

I had to google it. It's a false negative.

A "Type 1" error, is a false positive.

Is this like how people overuse the term "orthogonal"?
ah, youre right up to a point. around 2014 there was a great flurry of work done, which meant its metadata speed improved >50x turning it from a great streaming file system, to a good all rounder.

Wage inequality is just a labor aristocracy, divide the masses tactic. We should also be looking at non-wage income i.e. dividends, interest, and capital gains. The untold story: non-wage income in the US is increasing as a share of total income, and the richest of the rich pay the lowest in taxes
If you do, I would recommend framing it to suit the position you are shooting for.

For example, I would say something like. "My apps generated $1x,xxx over a period of 6 months. I handled the marketing as well as the development of it. Now I am also doing technical support for it." It shows planning, grit and careful consideration.
It shouldn't take more than 1MB, but a "power user" with the stock Slack desktop client will probably see RAM usage of 1.5 GB[1]. So* GP was referencing the fact that currently the Slack desktop client is using >1GB and that is way too much.

* I recognize your sarcasm, but figured I'd reply anyway since the internet is a weird place and lots of people might not catch the joke.

I worked for one too and I can't say the same thing. Entire projects were poorly thought out, designed and improperly executed. The people working for the company were incompetent and their "hiring bar" was if you had a pulse. And this was a big well known firm.

Now I want a mattermost version of this; the mattermost native client for linux is so terrible as to be nigh unusable (I need to restart it every 24-72 hours as it just hangs regularly).
IMO essentially ML experts don't work in a bubble and may interface with potentially anyone at a company; C-level, engineering, product, marketing, ops, etc etc. What other tech-employee needs that flexibility? So, I grouped communication / life skills into being able to understand, read, interpret and ultimately provide value to potentially any team. Just having the technical skills will only get you so far.
damn shame.
Unrelated: it seems like this site has some sort of "debug" script set up that downloads half a dozen copies of some test image ("r20-100KB.png"). Safia, if you're on here, you might want to get it checked out since it's more than doubling the amount of time it takes your site to load.
I'm certain one of the reasons is that all kinds of things were selected, before getting to the meet of the requirements. Which is typical of large government IT projects, where the order is often: choose some of the technology stack, write an contract opportunity (RFO, etc.) around the chosen technology and a vague (even if stated in terms that seem precise) concept of the requirements, select a contractor, who then pre-determines more of the tech stack based on their own offerings, business relationships, or competencies, then starts gathering real implementable requirements and building the customer-specific elements of the software (and even the last two are sometimes in the reverse order.)

As a Canadian who has worked at IBM, I'm not surprised that this didn't find success. In IBMs defense, I don't believe our public sector has the experience or aptitude required to act as a supporting interface for a job of this scale.

With that being said, IBM isn't a successful technology company with a proven record building good software products. They were an unwise choice from the get-go. IBM is a successful financial engineering and sales firm that sells things, then scrambles to hire/acquires to get things done to an ever-evolving, always justifiably rough spec. They quack and then start the hack-show.

What do you expect from the organization that invented "FUD" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear,_uncertainty_and_doubt) as a way to emotionally manipulate perspective clients into making a purchasing decision?

For me the main feature is that Dropbox is less confusing about where files and folders actually are. And has simpler sharing settings.

Now, with Team Drives and File Stream Goolge is catching up and of course Google Docs have no equivalent in Dropbox. (Dropbox paper is very limited). But Team Drives have very weird limits (max 20 subfolders deep, max 250000 files)

What gets me is the job holders in the upper 20% who actively support a system that benefits the non-working (or don't need to work) top 1%.

I make a pretty high wage compared to a cashier at a store, but my interests align with them a lot more than a Walton. Yet my peers are convinced that because they have the trappings of the petite bourgeoisie and a well funded 401k that they have more in common with a Koch.

I'm not familiar with a society that experienced such high inequality and did not have very disruptive upheaval afterwards. One would think the wealthy would advocate for universal health care, education and safety nets as a small price to pay for their own self preservation. On the other hand, they haven't had much to fear from the lower classes for a long time now.

Not a fan of this "data scientist is a unicorn" style of thinking. The best people in any profession (especially software engineering) also use these skills in their day-to-day work.
Won't this just add costs to higher value manufacturers further up the supply chain?
Fallacy of the excluded middle much? We can (and should!) aim for a situation between the two you have described. And in any case, your proposed model isn't working: everyone else has had stagnant real wages since the 1970s.

And income inequality actually is a problem even in and of itself, even without reference to absolute living standards. There's an increasing body of research that higher inequality in a society lowers happiness and increases resentment, ultimately undermining social cohesion and trust in government.
Interesting, upvoted. So maybe I'm seeing a regional problem. It's honestly terrible. DFW area Dasher, if you're listening.

I took a machine learning graduate-level course from Andrew Ng himself, and I don't recall learning about Jaccard indexes or topic drift. Maybe your sense of what counts as "very, very, very basic" is skewed toward your own experience. There's a phenomenon known to psychologists where people tend to think that the stuff that they know is very easy and basic, so they conclude that anybody who doesn't know what they know must be uneducated. But then it turns out that the person you think is uneducated knows about a bunch of surprising stuff that you don't. I can't remember the term for this phenomenon, but I often remember it whenever I find myself beginning to judge another person's expertise. This phenomenon is also super relevant to the failings of most technical interviews, in my opinion.

I'll provide the short version, and will encourage the exchange team to do a proper write-up once they feel ready for it. But to provide proper context, keep in mind that everything below is considered with a trading exchange in mind.

Distilled down to bullet point material, the change is driven by:

- language ecosystem; support libraries for Erlang are, regrettably, not that well maintained

- familiarity; the team maintaining and improving the exchange stack are not Erlang experts but know C++ pretty well

- hiring pool; finding good engineers who know Erlang is impressively hard. Intersection with engineers who have been exposed to financial exchanges is ... well.

- performance; as I've been explained to, the underlying data structures in Erlang are designed for maximum concurrency and share-nothing model (the Actor pattern in its pure form). These impose constraints that happen to hit the hot paths pretty hard. And related to that...

- memory model properties; exchanges rely on data structures whose critical paths cannot avoid invasive operations. Routinely working around your runtime's central assumptions is not exactly a best practice, regardless of the language used.

I will let our exchange team tell the complete back story, in their own style and with their view from the trenches. Known interest probably helps.
I'll forward this along, sorry for the inconvenience. Do you want to email me directly and I'll get you sorted?

I miss SpoonRocket. It was super convenient and they had some really good food.
He certainly didn't just make that idea up. You can find plenty of research on it by googling "turnover in the 1%".

That's really cool. I hadn't considered that model before. Seems other's have, my gut tells me there's a successful business to be had just have to keep the financials inline.
Still mentions his full name and title front and center. I think that is what gp was referencing.
> If /usr/bin is on a case-insensitive filesystem, and you execvp("CD", ...)

That seems like fairly rare edge case, considering that UNIX typically had case-sensitive file-systems, or rather handled filenames as opaque blobs. I wonder what actual system caused the need for case folding? Maybe HFS?
Does anyone know what the real problem was here?

> Some people were paid too much, others not at all. Those issues snowballed with the deluge of requests to fix incorrect paychecks.

> IBM said it’s “fulfilling its obligations on the Phoenix contract, and the software is functioning as intended.”

Okay, so the cost is coming from incorrect paycheck values, but the software is working correctly?

Does that mean it's human error? Can these issues be traced back to one or a few major instances of human error? Is this a widespread issue caused by a confusing or misleading UX design?

The article is quick to talk about the projects costs and failures as well as the politicians involved, but I can't learn anything or blame anyone until I understand what went wrong.
So we've gone from IRC which worked perfectly fine to a billion dollar business just to port that software back to the terminal, where we started out to begin with

I don't understand this world any more
It's been a long time since I've heard about any successful projects coming out of IBM's consulting and services businesses. Mostly it's one headline after another like this- "Billion dollar project scrapped". How much longer can they keep coasting on the reputation of what was, if we're being honest, a completely different business that just happened to have the same name?
https://dev-blog.apollodata.com/the-future-of-state-manageme...

What about apollo-link-state? Not a replacement either per se, but seems like its one step closer to isomorphic (client & server side) state.

On one hand it normalizes your data & avoids thousands of lines of boilerplate, on the other hand you lose [some] control of the underlying data structures which is where you'd still need something like redux.
Unlikely, I see the world heading much more toward a 1984-style triad of powers with constantly shifting alliances to prevent any one power from gaining world control.

Ask HN: Has anybody successfully changed their career to become a writer?
Thanks! My second in command went from fresh out of uni to superstar in a matter of months, so we know it’s possible! :-)
from eavesdropping while on vacation...and having a few million to invest.
Whipped cream. 2.5dl instead of lunch
Don't.

The issue in Michael's case is not politics, and I don't know how HN gets on this stupid tangent about the "political game."

The issue--speaking as a Big Company engineer/manager--is quite obviously misalignment, either between Michael and his manager or between his manager and the committee.

If you don't know what your manager thinks is important or disagree with it, you have a problem. (Possible solutions: ask, argue, switch teams.) If your manager's priorities don't match the org's, you may also have a problem (depending on your manager's ability to protect you). (Again, possible solutions: discuss with your manager, discuss with your skip, move.)

The idea that there's a "political game" that you can play to get ahead is, mostly, belied by my experiences. It's probably true in some places some of the time, but it's unclear to me that it yields better results (faster promotion, greater happiness) than being smart and motivated.
Actually looks like it copies the path into the address space of the parent, backs up some register state, tickles the i386 syscall interface by setting registers to call chdir(2), then restores the registers to their original state, resuming the program already in progress.

Guess it's a regional issue then. Upvoted. Dfw is honestly terrible. Less than 50/50. I'd be embarrassed.
As far as I understand:

If you throw a promise (throw as in throwing an error) from the render function, React will retry when it resolves. `createFetcher` is a cache layer so that you don't DOS your own server on re-renders. Maybe though encouraging people use a ServiceWorker for that would have made more sense (edit: it also throws the promise for you when you access the cached value. so, yeah, it is very well-thought indeed).

Apart from that, this seems to be very simple to use, well-thought and useful.

You could try this libpurple plugin for Mattermost [0]. Should work fine with finch if you want it to live in a terminal or tmux session or something, or else Pidgin or Adium if you want a more GUI look.

The other day I met with someone who was visiting my city to attend a big ML conference. In the course of our discussion, it transpired this person did not know the Halting Problem. He'd "heard of" Turing machines, but nothing more than "hearing" of them.

Gatekeepers shouldn't keep gates just for gatekeeping sake. But if so-called ML experts don't even know undergraduate computer science, that should really give you pause before you open up your wallet for them.
Where did you got that number?
A better UX I guess
There's definitely a need for it. I'm working for a startup,
called Carol Health[0], that's trying to do a similar thing but with nurses instead of doctors.

There's a huge need for in-home care, especially in the aging population. For able bodied humans, going to the doctor's office is a pain but not a particular challenge. For aging, disabled, or mobility-limited individuals, it can be nearly impossible for them to get to a doctors office. Not to mention, an office is full of nasty things that can harm immuno-challenged individuals more than the office visit can benefit.

Telemedicine is a really good start, but there are huge limitations without being able to actually interact with a patient. As more of these types of services popup, it's going to be incredibly beneficial for aging and homebound or almost homebound individuals.

It really exciting to see a whole gamut of services, like Shipt and ClickList, popup. Hopefully in 10 years, aging in place will be more common until the point that individuals actually require frequent assistance or medical attention.
