Howdy, been doing this for a long time. I have worked on old hardware that occasionally pops up here in ``remember when'' post. I've spent most of my time working on the backend of whatever interface stood was between the users and the data. I have given baseball talks and open source conferences, and open sources talks at baseball conferences.

Presently working at a larger corporation where things have stall technologies wise for various reason. Thought it might be time to see if I can find a better fit where I can help people learn some old tricks while learning new ones myself.

I put together a blog post for people looking for internships or full time jobs on how I got interviews at Google, Facebook and Bridgewater etc. with average grades, non-target school and no relevant work experience.

Hope my shitty server won't die now.. I have been planning to migrate this to faster stuff..
CNN this morning: "Tesla will soon report whether it met its target to make 2,500 Model 3s a week. It is on pace to make about half that number, according to Bloomberg." [1]

From the statement: "In the past seven days, Tesla produced 2,020 Model 3 vehicles."

A pretty big improvement, still some hard work to do, but they really are ramping up.

I'm relieved at the announcement they won't need another debt/equity raise this year. Let's see where we are in 3 months.

[1] http://money.cnn.com/2018/04/02/news/companies/tesla-stock-a...
> The Model 3 output increased exponentially, representing a fourfold increase over last quarter. This is the fastest growth of any automotive company in the modern era. If this rate of growth continues, it will exceed even that of Ford and the Model T.

Way to spin all the production issues and delay of the previous quarter into a positive.

They're way behind the goals they set for themselves, but instead of measuring by those goals, they measure themselves by their weakest performance, and suddenly their performance becomes historic.
The subject was whether Facebook's stock price going down could be predicted based solely on classical physics. I am arguing that it cannot.

I am arguing that classical physics can not in general predict human behavior. Publishing a paper on quantum mechanics is a human behavior. Classical physics cannot predict whether someone will publish a paper on quantum physics, so clearly it cannot predict all human behavior.

This in itself is not enough to prove that classical physics cannot predict Facebook's stock price, but since Facebook's stock price is dependent on a vast number of human behaviors, it should cast serious doubt on the idea that the stock price could be predicted using classical physics.

Is there some part of this that you disagree with?

What I don't agree is study. I mean that you should be paid for the work done, regardless of your college or degree that you have done. You can be at a real high degree and are not good at your work and you can have low degree and rocks.

College don't mean you are good at work.
Send an email or XMPP message to gettor@torproject.org, or a Twitter DM to @get_tor, to receive links to download Tor via GitHub, Dropbox and Google Drive.

The download is a zip file that can be extracted and run anywhere without installation.

We run a Mac and Linux setup here - me being the admin, this is tolerable. Mac's still-essentially-Unix underlying OS makes this reasonably consistent - I can SSH between either platform fairly easily, for example. We offer new starters the option, and are about 50/50, though I've had a few surprises - one user had only previously used Windows, and from experience these sort of users switch to Mac more easily than Ubuntu, but he gave his MBP back after a day and switched to Ubuntu instead, which he's stuck with. I could not be more proud :D

It's very nice to give end users the option - when I joined, I asked for Linux and was given a brand-new Dell XPS with Ubuntu pre-installed, root access, and told, customise it to suit you. I keep that spirit with my users.

Throwing Windows into such a setup is a nightmare though - two users actually installed their company laptops with their own personal Windows 10 licenses without my knowledge or approval - I still hold a grudge because I had to actually read the MS EULA to make sure they weren't about to cause trouble! It means I can't manage them (I have no real tools to do so on Ubuntu), so they're on their own for that. Fortunately management has my back, declaring the company to be a *nix shop.

Our actual product is all containerised so it should run anywhere.
You don't owe your parents anything nor does family always do what is best for you. Especially in this case. OP was taken advantage of for years.
You would think that right? Except then you actually want to run a simple python script on Windows and observe things like: os.rename not being able to replace opened files, the default encoding not being UTF-8 (wtf), not being able to just `pip install scipy` because of some weird BLAS/MKL dependency...
It's a close call though. Schiphol recommends arriving at least two hours before departure for European flights (and in the busy seasons this has proven not to be an exaggeration!), and you still need transfer to London itself.

The Eurostar conveniently terminates at King's Cross St. Pancras. This year the direct London → Amsterdam Eurostar service is being introduced, with the reverse following soon after, cutting down travel time even further.

Also, legroom, comfort, and very few luggage restrictions (especially weight, and no restrictions on fluids either, so bring along that bottle of wine and make it a picnic!).
Some, but not enough. Men and women should be absolutely equal in terms of economic power, they currently are not.

This is interesting. I’ve been out of the cockpit for about 5 years, but we had what we called “mode 1” approaches back then where the carrier would lock onto our f-18. We could land without touching the controls. At the end of my time, they actually incentivized us to fly these approaches more frequently to develop unmanned systems more quickly. (Incentive was giving a perfect grade for a landing...usually Mode Ones were a “no count” in the grading rubric.)

I guess the difference here is that an actual person (the LSO) is controlling the jet vice the computer?
> Yes, because I never use my PIN Number

I get the point you're making, but that doesn't change anything:

Unix people (and devops people) don't say 'recursive DNS resolver'. I've met 0 people who do this in the last 20+ years. I'm using the term 'nobody' very deliberately.

I guess technical people are more specific - or like to keep things shorter - than the general public.
I got lucky and saw the Zinus thread last year, I was close to spending over a thousand when I heard about them. I spent 400 for a king mattress and a stand. My Wife loves it!
If it is true, it implies we need help programs for the young men who are being systematically discrminated against or otherwise oppressed by society. That includes new assistance programs to boost the rate of college graduation, since young men are so badly falling behind there (with projections for it to get much worse yet).

Victim blaming would be a common response, to proclaim that it's the fault of these young men. The real question we must ask is: what is society doing to these young men to leave them so unprepared and falling behind, and how can society correct that injustice?

> But this is not what should be measured

It's a perfectly reasonable thing to measure as long as it's not being used as a proxy for equal pay (which it explicitly isn't in this case).

What it can show is systemic bias. Now, unlike unequal pay, it's not necessarily blatantly unfair bias. It might not be unfair at all depending on the detail.

But knowing that there's a gap and understanding the reasons for the gap can be beneficial.

> I can't make use of it if it's not available

You also can't make use of data if it doesn't have appropriate metadata indicating how it can be used. Metadata is more than just "good"- it's essential for actually being able to run an analysis. Take fMRI for example- someone could just throw a brain image up on the internet. In fact, one particularly uninformed individual (who possibly broke Virginia state law) did so here: https://github.com/dcunited001/mri-scans

However, the raw data is not useful without knowing what scan sequence was used, slice-timing order, etc. Some of this is encoded in the data itself (the example above uploaded DICOM, which has somewhat rich metadata, although by no means is it comprehensive enough), but other data that is necessary is not (Phillips in particular is somewhat infamous for doing non-standard things with their scanners that aren't recorded in the DICOM headers, and in general it's a Herculean task getting MRI vendors to agree on standards). You could try performing an analysis with contextless data, but you're likely just going to make really spotty conclusions.

> I'm not in academia

Why should that matter? The circumstances of data collection are also important for business intelligence data or financial modeling data. I'm certain that the lack of this also contributes to poorly formed conclusions that cause real hurt to businesses out there.
TowerView Health | Philadelphia, PA | Full-Time | Remote and In Office | Back-End Engineering | http://towerviewhealth.com
TowerView Health is a rapidly growing, venture backed startup in Philadelphia looking for a creative, self-driven back-end engineer to help us scale up our service for patients.

We help chronically ill patients manage complex medication regimens in their home. We partner with pharmacies that send patients customized pre-sorted medication trays that insert into our custom-designed smart pillbox. Our pillbox can sense when medication is removed and send patients and/or their caregivers automated reminders. Explainer Link: https://youtu.be/vWaBJVrSOiE

We sell to health insurance companies, hospitals, and pharmacies so patients receive it for free. Our patients love us because we take away the complexity of managing medications and our customers love us because we keep patients healthy and out of the hospital--only 33% of patients take their medication as prescribed and 125,000 people die each year because of medication related errors. We’re on a mission to help patients and revolutionize the way that medications are taken in home.

Experience in/with: Node.JS, Docker, microservices

Projects we've worked on:

- IoT backend processing sensor data to help identify patients who need care

- Microservice backend platform to manage data from multiple client web applications

- Automated notification system to coordinate online and pillbox-centric alerts for patients

More info here: https://angel.co/towerview-health/jobs/96130-backend-enginee...

The author is correct that trying to get modern toolchains on older systems (like RH6) is a real pain. But sometimes there's no real choice -- some applications value reliability above all else, and tend to be deployed on RH where its relative stability is a feature, not a bug.

I've written about this (http://btorpey.github.io/blog/2015/01/02/building-clang/), specifically in the context of getting clang running on RH6, which required first getting a C++11-compatible gcc running on RH6. For those who are in the same boat, you may find the article helpful.
I can heartily recommend 'The Right Stuff' by Tom Wolfe, where he gives a great description of how challenging it is for new pilots to learn this skill.
db01 is taking it into meaninglessness. Is that running PostgreSQL, Redis or MongoDB? Was Redis on db05 or cache01? That's not far from naming them server01, server02, etc.

sql01 is good if you only use sql abstraction layers, otherwise you probably even want postgres01 and mysql01. Or even postgres-olap01 and postgres-oltp01, if that's what you do.

ATARI system? Is this post a few days old?
AMD had an octocore that still crushes most of intels stuff and it's been out for 8 years now.
There appears to be no LPDDR4 support in these processors, which seems like a major omission:

https://ark.intel.com/products/134903/Intel-Core-i9-8950HK-P...

Which means they'll be stuck using LPDDR3-2133 memory with the same bandwidth as previous generations in any power conscious design.

For example, Apple's MacBook Pro line continues to use LPDDR3-2133: https://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs/

I wish AMD would add LPDDR4 support to their mobile chips, if only to light another fire under Intel to have feature parity like they did with core count.
2,020 is under Elon's 2,500 prediction, but well above the 1,000-1,500 expectations of those shorting the stock (unless the shorts' articles were deliberately misleading, of course).

Also, according to the release, those are customer-delivered numbers. Overall, a good trajectory and a sign of long-term health.
> I suspect the high failure rate of drone batteries is due to the extreme loads drones put on batteries. Very few other devices are continuously operated at loads that will drain their batteries in a few minutes.

Indeed. The charge / discharge cycle causes physical strain on the carbon anode. Microscopic pieces of it break off with use, and are part of the cause of capacity degradation over time.
It depends on the job. What you say applies mainly to Twitter-empowered employees at consumer-facing tech companies.

The track is narrow and short, with potential movements in 3 dimensions.
You can just as easily link the runtime libs statically, it's even mentioned in the article, but since not everyone does that (for reasons), you might still run into issues, when linking to other applications.

"not related" might have been some bad wording, but the point is that it's not an issue of the C++ language or any C++ features, but it's because of how the tooling and libraries for C++ have been invented.

(And because there's no standard ABI.)
Despite the disappointment of missing the goal of 2500 cars, this is good news. Tesla came reasonably close to their goal and certainly won't stop at that number. To put the number into scale, they made as many Model 3 in the last week as Model S and X combined. That means, Tesla is on a good track to produce at least twice as many cars in 2018 as they did in 2017, which already was a record year.

Yep. In a world of such pervasive intellectual dishonesty, what's the best course of action? While I admire the people and arguments that have the most intellectual integrity, it seems that demagoguery just works better when it comes to shaping public policy.

At the end of the day, the problem is that most people (voters) wouldn't even begin to understand or appreciate the distinction between demagoguery and intellectual integrity.

Yeah, if they're able to consistently hit that weekly number (and continue to improve upon it) this is some much-needed good news for Tesla.
Depends on what made these numbers. Late night burn or proper automation ?
I've never heard of anybody refer to an authoritative server as a "resolver" before. Even the article considers them separate:

> any third party who can observe communication between a client and a recursive resolver, a recursive resolver, or an authoritative server

The "recursive" adjective is pretty clearly to distinguish between stub and recursive resolvers.

Hi, I made a browser extension to quickly write down what we learn. When you are reading Stack Overflow or technical blog articles, you can jot down new lessons with minimal distraction, and get a email digest every Friday to refresh your memory.

12 Months ago, I made a CLI called Dnote to track what I learn inside a command line. The reason was that I forgot most things I learned because I neither wrote them down nor revisited them. This is a browser extension version, and integrates with CLI and both are open source.

I wrote more about my idea here: https://dnote.io/blog/myth-of-learning-by-writing-code/

It should probably mean something to you that women are collecting advanced degrees at a rate significantly higher than that of men.

However, given the "women earn ~70 cents for every dollar a man earns" rhetoric we traditionally hear about unequal pay, which compares female earnings to male earnings outright without controlling for education, qualifications, or the "same job"[1], it would seem this comparison is done in the same spirit.

”The primary focus of this article is asynchronous control in digital electronic systems.[1][2] In a synchronous system, operations (instructions, calculations, logic, etc.) are coordinated by one, or more, centralized clock signals. An asynchronous digital system, in contrast, has no global clock. Asynchronous systems do not depend on strict arrival times of signals or messages for reliable operation. Coordination is achieved via events such as: packet arrival, changes (transitions) of signals, handshake protocols, and other methods.”

What concerns me more is that the .rpm build is consistently later than other builds. Usually it means, that the user is staring 2 out of 4 weeks every month on update notification, that cannot be used, because the build is not ready yet.

It brings back the memories of MSIE and WMP that used to be available for Solaris and HP-UX, always slightly later... until they weren't and the users were left in the dark.

Again even within that quote it's: "on US exports or assets or exchange"

You are ignoring the or, if it said 'on US exports such as assets' then you would be correct in your interpretation.

Exports are a subcategory of total trade, which again is a useful distinction otherwise they would say trade not Exports. This was intended to confuse without being wrong, but exports and trade are meaningfully different and used in context correctly, but you are interpreting them as the same thing when they are not.

PS: Another way of stating this is trade must be balanced. I exchange one apple for one orange then by the existence of the trade the implication is the orange and the apple have equivalent value with each side valuing the others item more than their own. That's still true if you replace apple with Yen or whatnot which is again why trade deficits are only meaningful when you only look at goods.
