What you are describing also fits the description of a good manager. There is more to management than continuously asking "When is it done?" and the lines between tech lead and manager are very blurry.

Wealth inequality is certainly an issue, but it's not relevant to the issue being discussed. That there exists private sector executives whose salaries and benefits have more commas than most people can hope to make isn't relevant to pensions of an average worker.

> The Tech Lead is a “hybrid” role with one foot in management and the other in engineering

I may have a limited experience but I've never seen an effective Tech Lead who was a hybrid like this and I have serious doubts it's even possible. The amount of time these tech leads spend coding necessarily expands and consumes the time they have available for management. The type of "management" they do then becomes more defensive/territorial than directing/guiding. In the end they end up more of a dev with super powers who has a veto over every other developer's technical decisions, but is still primarily concerned with completing their own contributions rather than the project and team health as a whole. In the best case, they do split work, delegate, mentor, and lead meetings, but always end up doing the business critical or challenging pieces themselves (because why would I take the time to explain this when I could just do it...), and in the worst case, they don't delegate at all and actually communicate even less than they did as an individual contributor.
Don't #deletefacebook, it's your only diary
I use Facebook pretty sparingly with a small group of friends and family so I don't really share too much except for photos.

I don't think I post anything bad, but I'd rather not have an employer start making assumptions about me based on a few small bits posted on the internet. I've always felt that the less personal information my employer/co-workers know the better, but I am also one of those people who have a pretty barren cube.

The thing that makes me unhappy about Facebook is that it almost seems like too much work to make it worthwhile. Adjusting privacy settings, blocking/limiting certain peoples posts, etc. is just something that I don't like to do. I could care less that someone commented on a video or shared some garbage click bait.
If you have a robust SLAM method which is relatively computationally efficient, and you release it under an unhindered or attribution license, I think a whole bunch of people would use that. I know I would.

I've been wanting to spend some time in that field myself but workload hasn't allowed it. Just out of curiosity, have you looked into DTAM (PTAM's successor) or RATSLAM? Both were on my shortlist for a future project.
What perceptrons feed into the next layer are not features- they're activations. They can't be used as features because they don't represent attributes of some concept.

CNNs invent new features that can be used further down the track- sure, but the end result is not something you can use any further. You can't, for example, take a learned concept of a dog and then use it as a feature to learn about pets.

With language learning pipelines again, you're not adding a newly learned model to a set of features- instead, you use that model to label parts of your data that were not previously labelled.

What I mean (what my research group does) is more like what is discussed by Francois Chollett of Keras, here:

https://blog.keras.io/the-future-of-deep-learning.html

The kind of program-like modularity he's describing is missing from modern statistical classifiers, deep nets included.

"any harm in doing it for two?"

Think of it like the prospect of having unprotected sex with a partner. One potential partner has always been faithful, another has had a few slip ups, a few betrayals. Do you see potential relationships with each a little differently?

Of course, a valid followup question is, "Yeah, but has any data-hoovering company in SV been faithful?"

Hey @bargl-

I'm the author of that article and I couldn't agree with your summary more.

"The basic premise is how do you as a manager give your team 10x time to actually work, focus on work, and enjoy life."

Thanks for sharing that!

(Also, apologies for the click-baity, terrible title, lol. I tried to make light of it in the article.)
"Force multiplier" -- love that you borrowed this term from military doctrine, because that is exactly what a good tech lead is IMO. Per the Wiki definition [0]:

"Force multiplication or a force multiplier refers to a factor or a combination of factors that dramatically increases (hence "multiplies") the effectiveness of an item or group, giving a given number of troops (or other personnel) or weapons (or other hardware) the ability to accomplish greater things than without it."

OP here- not mocking, going for the Mark Twain "slice of life" approach.
I'm a little surprised that in the article, the tech lead is in charge of breaking up a task into parts. That seems like something a capable SEII should be able to handle, and it only improves them to be able to develop that skill. (Though maybe that means I was a lot less effective as a tech lead than I thought.)

> w # or better yet:last |head # who is/has been in

The post argues that 'last' will not always give the desired information:

> Obviously, I could also use 'last' to see who's been on the box recently, but this isn't the whole story. It's totally possible to "ssh root@box /path/to/command" and never start a login shell, which then leaves no trace in the lastlog, but then goes on to break something on the box. The syslog is how you'd find this.

You can get individual comments deleted if you ask the moderator nicely.

I think at the very least a 'hide' feature for a comment would be useful. Presumably you don't want 'anonymous' comments created either so you'd need to hide the entire comment from the public and not just the username.

Sometimes one accidentally leaks personal information, and in this day and age privacy matters (or should).
> Running a company of 10 people is VERY different from running a company of 100, which is VERY VERY different from running a company of 1000

IMO thats a classist lie that keeps people in their place. Any reasonably smart CEO can learn his way from 10 - 10000. Yes, (s)he may not be capable of 10k on day one, but they can grow along the way.

Node.js Security Release Summary – March 2018
In production builds, yes. Webpack is massively plugable - you could probably use it to build C++ if you wanted (tho.. why). So for web production builds minification plugins are used (Uglify is bundled, but Closure Compiler, etc can be used too).

But there's nothing about webpack that requires an AST, it can use things that do tho.

>There is a parade of 'content' to get through

Did you know that the content is also shallow? According to E.D. Hirsch [1], one of the reasons low-income and other marginalized groups do bad in schools after elementary school is because they lack the exposure to "cultural vocabulary" and end up feeling like a fish out of water when any more challenging material comes up.

So in line with the spirit of the OP, some of the "tooling" that we need in education is simply a deeper understanding of the national culture that all well-educated people have naturally adopted.

For instance, you could help low income students by simply having them watch shows like The Big Bang Theory and then maybe have a discussion about it in class. (And I say this as someone who doesn't like that show. But I know it speaks a very strong cultural language used by well-educated Americans.)

That doesn't really happen. Certainly it is a scare tactic that the rich have successfully employed to fool people with, but rich folks tend to stay put even more than poor people.

Here's one article of many, many you can find:

https://www.citylab.com/equity/2016/06/do-taxes-really-cause...

The closing paragraph:

"Ultimately, the study finds that, while some millionaires do move to lower-tax destinations, the overall rate of millionaire migration is extremely low. When all is said and done, the super-rich tend to migrate less then the rest of us. The reason for this is simple—most people depend on the places they live for their incomes, since their businesses are based there. Indeed, this new study confirms an increasingly important fact of our economic geography: because some places generate a lot more wealth than others, the amount of money we make is largely tied to where we live."

> being hugged to death

Whenever I read about this I can't help to think that people don't make a good use of a load balancer like HAProxy in front of their web-servers. Even if it's a single server behind the load balancer.

There's this sweet spot where your server is handling requests as fast as it can but if you cross above it everything halts. To make it simple, this usually happens when one or more hardware resources (CPU, RAM, disk) reaches 90% utilization.

So just do some basic benchmarks and find that sweet spot and put a limit in HAProxy. Say 100 concurrent connections for static assets and 50 concurrent connections for everything else.

All requests above the limit will go in a HAProxy queue but they should not stay there for long because the web-server is able to work at full speed without being overloaded.

Maybe it's the anti-intellectual climate, but that's a side issue.

I finished a doctorate in 2003, went on a few academic interviews which include a very long cycle for you to actually get hired someplace, up to a year in some circumstances. 2003 was a pretty bad year economically, especially in tech. I ended up in various university IT roles and was adjunct teaching part-time. By 2005, I fled academia and immediately doubled my pay in the process. Looking back, even though it was possible for me to become a professor in my field, there was no way to justify it when I could do better for myself and my family by working in the private sector. I would be pretty far behind the proverbial 8-Ball had I stayed in higher ed. Also, in my experience, most universities reserve non-faculty roles for spouses of faculty, but I was lucky that I had contacts in the IT department who helped me get hired full time.

My take on higher education is that the really comfy professors are independently wealthy and thus academia is a haven for the "gentleman professor." That is probably true in a lot of fields even though you can't tell that from the outside. If you have reliable side income from publishers, or better yet, inherited your wealth, being a professor makes sense.

Despite my tribulations, I enjoyed my time in higher ed as a student and beyond. It was a positive chapter in my life journey and I learned much about myself, people, and life in general along the way. Just don't let anyone tell that it all translates easily into a workable career.
The basic case (John McCain's case) is simple:

In general, a Child Born Outside the U.S. is a Citizen at Birth when the Child’s Parents Are Married to each other at the Time of Birth IF...
Both parents are U.S. citizens at the time of birth,
AND...
At least one parent lived in the U.S. or its territories prior to the birth

Canal Zone is a US territory.

OP's case is interesting because the petitioner's parents are not citizens.
I think what you mean by "maths" is "formulae" or "equations". Before you get to the formulae, you have to figure out what you're trying to do. If the formulae are irrelevant to the problem at hand you will not find a solution.

As to your question- I wouldn't bet at all. There is no way to know.

Here's a problem from me: I give you the number 345.

What are the chances that the next number I give you is going to be within 1000 numbers of 345?
Write the law vaguely and make punishments potentially scarily harsh, the general idea that if companies would like to continue to play dumb farmer, they better hope they don't run into someone with a strict personality. In law, there is the notion of both the latter and the spirit of the law, so this notion isn't unprecedented.

You might think this is a bit crazy, and you'd be correct, but it's nowhere near as crazy as thousands of things in the actual reality of our current legal system (banks crashing the global financial system, yet no one was guilty of anything, black men being executed at point blank range and the cop walking away, etc etc etc etc etc).

> Yes, bankruptcy is a well established option for people who have bought things they can’t pay for. Part of the deal is losing your own assets. Residents signed up for these debts; residents must have their own retirement savings and property seized to pay for them. You’ve established that there’s no problem seizing already-earned compensation when the going gets tough, so why not yours?

Residents didn't directly sign up for these debts. A series of corrupt Democrat politicians who used theses pensions to buy union votes are responsible. While I admit the thought of their personal assets being seized to pay off these obligations does make me smile, I also don't think that'd be legal.

Similarly, it's not the personal assets of the rest of the citizens of Illinois that would be at stake here. There may be an argument for the sale of public assets, owned by the State itself, to cover some part of this in a bankruptcy hearing but I'd imagine there is going to be significant legal challenges to that as well. The optics of literally selling our children's public inheritance to pay off these corrupt deals is not going to play well with the electorate.

The counterparty for these pensions is not the individual residents of the State. It's the State itself, and possibly a subordinate institution. Sinking funds for current employees of those institutions are fair game. Similarly, the rest of the country is not responsible for these debts either.

These teachers are all part of the TRS pension plan and get lifetime pension at retirement. That's the jewel of the benefits package, but the rest of their benefits are pretty fucking excellent, too: cheap health insurance, huge numbers of vacation days.

Say what you will about the importance of teaching (and the fact that these comp numbers are perceived to flow right back into property values), these are not standard deals in the private market. They are, from the day you start your job to the day you retire, superior to the deal most private sector workers get.
