> Say what you will about the importance of teaching

Just curious, how does the teaching compare with other schools in other states. I've been saying for a while that teachers should have high salaries like that because for one it matches the rhetoric of "think of the children" / "children first", and that teaching should be a prestigious job in line with engineer, finance, doctor or lawyer. So here is a case were salaries seem to be in the ballpark of being "prestigious" would you say the quality of teaching and the environment in school is correspondingly better?
Less granular audience targeting forcing increased ad spend to reach a broader audience. FB really doesn't lose out.
Agreed. This would also reduce mid/large enterprise worries regarding adoption (or investigating the tech for possible adoption). Being on the upgrade train several times a year is too probably much for them...
In March 2015 the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer classified glyphosate as "probably carcinogenic in humans" (category 2A) based on epidemiological studies, animal studies, and in vitro studies.[1]

For example, eMMC supports a very low level hardware booting sequence (boot ROMs on SoCs can clock in data without needing a driver to initialize the eMMC device).

I know about that feature but the SoCs that use it are usually very primitive and not those in smartphones and the like, which have a much more featureful boot ROM. Keep in mind that even the Raspberry Pi can boot from SD, and that's not even a very powerful SoC. The MTK SoCs which I'm more familiar with have a boot ROM that supports booting from (e)MMC/SD, NAND, and USB/UART (for recovery). TI's OMAP series are similar:

The CMB is the cosmic microwave background, essentially the earliest light in the universe from when atoms are formed. The power spectrum of the temperature fluctuations in the CMB contains information about the constituents of the universe because each constituent (radiation, baryonic matter, non-baryonic matter) behaves differently in the early universe. Here is a Scientific American article that offers some explanation: http://background.uchicago.edu/~whu/SciAm/sym1.html

Microlensing involves gravity. The difference is that normal matter that could be dark matter would be relatively things massive but compact things like black holes and brown dwarfs as opposed to a diffuse halo. The compactness would make them detectable by lensing.
No, I'm definitely aware of that phenomenon and definitely check for it before I say things like this. I'm thinking of specific individual people I know, whether in real life or consistent pseudonyms on communities I have exposure to. It happens often enough in that small, detailed dataset that I'm comfortable extrapolating a little bit to the larger dataset instead of assuming that it's different subgroups with contradictory viewpoints.

I come across thoughtful people all the time who have a baseline assumption of intelligence and intellectual honesty that doesn't match almost any group you're likely to actually come across. My prior for people having obviously contradictory views is simply higher than yours.
I really don't understand what the difference is between tech lead and engineering manager after reading this article. I did exactly these things and also people management as an EM but I spent 75% coding/code review and 25% in meetings/one-on-ones. 30% seems awfully low for a tech lead; is this just like a new term that's been recently birthed in job descriptions? It seems like it's for companies that are too small to have principal software engineers/architects and also too small to have a management track, but they have EMs at Webflow so I'm really curious what the author does in his day-to-day.
Smbcs are tiny on the scale of galaxies. You can measure their mass, they have a negligible impact on the rest of the galaxy.

Smbcs exist because crap tends to fall towards the middle of galaxies and pile up. Galaxies do not exist because of SMBCs
Heh, I remember that thread as if it were posted yesterday! A great article and discussion honestly.

That's not what I said.

I said that you need at least 20 something parameters to believe in the Big Bang Theory. You can't prove theories, you can only falsify. With every "prove" you just exclude all theories out of the infinite that exist, that do not predict a certain fact.

Date of introduction and parameters you can find here:

It sounds really cool but also very opinionated workflow. Not to say I don't agree with it but I can only imagine the amount of effort making this whole workflow was also what went into defining what that workflow was.

There are a lot of workflows and I personally don't think it's on an IDE to enforce that. Yeah sure it's "integrated" but it's to the extreme which I somewhat disagree with.

If their workflow and emacs scripts were open sourced, I could actually try it and watch my tongue but since it's all proprietary all I can really say is good for you, thanks for sharing but I probably wouldn't use it myself.
Passion comes from a Latin root meaning "to suffer". If you work in technology long enough, you will become passionate about it.
There's nothing about terminal-like windows that precludes using the mouse. The magic of escape sequences makes e.g. mouse selection in Vim possible. I just don't find it very useful when there are keyboard shortcuts for everything.

When you need to open a shell in a certain directory, do you use cd or do you navigate using a GUI? I much prefer the tab-completion I get with the former, especially in hierarchies with high branching factor.

Honestly, I’m not afraid of AI.

Instead, I’m terrified of that step before - which does not yet have a name - in which sophisticated bots generate a news bubble (whether real or fake may not even matter that much) that leads us to destroy ourselves.

Think about it - the riots shortly after the election, the cries of fake news (on both sides of he political spectrum), the growing gap between the left and right, etc.

That’s enough to get us off the rails in the US. Now imagine what that would do in a country with a much more fragile democracy, or a split religious population.

Truly, that is more frightening. If you’ve ever seen what one person can do to another under strained circumstances, you know what I mean.
I'm not speaking of groups holding collectively contradictory views, I'm speaking of the group consisting of individuals who hold individually contradictory views. I know many people personally who hold the views described above.

Was going to non-helpfully comment that as the title says:

61% of "Entry-Level" Jobs require 3+ years of Experience

And <insert stat> of "Senior Software Engineer" jobs require only 3 years of Experience.

In the Bay Area culture, 3 years is enough time to jump jobs once:

year 1 = figure out how to navigate tech corp
year 2 = figure out that it's a sh!t show.
year 3 = jump and find greener pastures. repeat year 1.
Dark matter isn't "missing". It's invisible. It's something that has gravity but can't be observed. This galaxy is weird because it's mass is equal to the sum of its stars. In every other galaxy, its hundreds or thousands of times more heavy than all the stars put together.
What are those physical interfaces to the cameras? Connector type, cable, protocol?
It seems that a lot of people on HN have a visceral negative reaction to founders stepping aside in favor of bringing professional management. Ousters aside, I wonder if it has to do with value creation versus value capture phases of the company, with people here being generally more interested in creating value than capturing it?

There are vim plugins for auto-completion and it supports code folding out of the box. I'm not sure what you use tooltips and context menus for, but that functionality is probably available via some : command.

But then most command-line editors are actually GUIs in the terminal with excellent keyboard support.

Why do you assume that programming is more like Interior Decorators than not more like Civil Engineering? There's been a number of cases in our history where software has killed people or cost people/corporations millions of dollars.
A lot of the awesome I see people smarter than me doing, is not getting bogged down in nitty gritty but instead thinking about how to DTRT. Then, when they do it, the apparent effort is low: you've discounted the french metric tonne of thinking time that led up to it.

Equally, they should get their hands a little dirty. Best is to be a great chef but spend some time with the bottle washers relating to being a dishpig. Nobody really likes Gordon Ramsay as much as the chefs who invest in staff development.
Can you imagine being in a civilization in that galaxy, they must really think they are the center of the universe.
OK, I can see where where you're coming from. I think it's a little silly, and insufficient, but it's not a crazy position.

A little silly: Consider the examples. E.g., Russia took out facebook ads raising awareness about police brutality in the US. This is clearly "provoking both sides into hostility," but so what? Does it really matter that it's (scary voice) Russia doing it?

The second reason I think it's silly is it's just impossible to trace influence, ultimately. How many political commentators have gigs at think tanks that are ultimately funded by foreign governments? Lots! Or what about people that have close family members living in other countries? Etc.

Ultimately, I think people just need to evaluate arguments on the merits, and also be sophisticated about considering all possible sources and motivations for any given argument they are seeing.
I wouldn't put anything past the jerks. But truly, what he's said is not very different from what the Tor Project says. And they're primarily funded by the US government.

And like Tor, it's primarily a framework.

You are correct that there is no Nobel prize in agriculture, and the Nobel prize winners are not subject specialists in crop science, plant breeding, nutrition and plant biotechnology.

But if you ask from the scientists from those fields, you are going to get the same answer.

This is admirable. Totally fucking admirable!
Just want to make sure that people realize that Emacs has decent support for pointing devices and can link with the native GUI libraries on Windows and Mac and GTK+ on Linux.

So for example although the (very old) version of Emacs (/usr/bin/emacs) that comes with OS X was built in such a way that it can communicate with the user only via the terminal, the following command line will install a GUI-capable Emacs:

brew tap railwaycat/emacsmacport && brew update && brew install emacs-mac

(The simpler command line `brew update && brew install emacs` would install a GUI-capable Emacs, too, but delivers the pure-FSF version of Emacs, which for mac for many years now has been buggier than the FSF version plus Mitsuharu's patches, which is what the first command line delivers. In the past there have been times when `brew install emacs` would install an Emacs that is just not usable because of bugs while `brew install emacs-mac` would install and Emacs that works fine.)

Whether or not the code Jane Street added to Emacs can be used with a pointing device I do not know.
The idea is good. I am sending another project to graveyard.

AFAICS, the only one that's explicitly gendered is "journeyman". We've had a pretty good track record swapping out "person" in such situations when it's an issue. One might take issue with "master", and some senses of "master" are gendered, but some are not, such as senses 1c (particularly applicable here) and 1d:

> "c : a worker or artisan qualified to teach apprentices (see 1apprentice 1b)"

> "d (1) : an artist, performer, or player of consummate (see 1consummate 1) skill (2) : a great figure of the past (as in science or art) whose work serves as a model or ideal"

Ah, Spectrum Holobyte. Such a great version of Tetris. Sadly it doesn't run under SheepShaver (hangs SheepShaver), and the music, arguably the most unique part of that version, didn't work under Classic.

How is integration with Tor? Can nodes be onion services?
Like EVs, yeah great, love it. Great job by the engineers there. Good stuff.

But it's the auto-driving that seems to be sub-par thus far. Though the data isn't public (mostly), it seems like the auto-driving software is worse than the average driver. Again, seems.
Nice idea - makes sense on the surface - but I wonder if a 3rd party can actually do what the visionary cannot - yes they have sales and marketing chops - but they need the story, the connection to the original use case, and to provide feedback to the "too busy" developer - there are lots of "better mousetraps" that "should" sell, but often it takes the inventor, meeting the customer, sharing the passion, sharing the vision - to inspire an early adopter to take the leap...
Correct.....old conversation, new comment.

The giveaway, imho, is a downvote on a completely inoffensive comment, combined with certain other increasingly common patterns.
Yes, when starting in Tor-mode OpenBazaar creates a new hidden service.
That's a good point and definitely a source of contention from both the sales and dev perspective and I'm definitely open to ideas about how to help with this, if you have any feedback.

The way I see it is from the sales perspective, you get access to great products that have sales potential. It gives a seller the ability to make extra cash on the side, while the dev is granted the luxury of being able to focus on what they do best. Build.

Several apps out there are hyper focused on building teams, businesses, and finding co-founders. This proves very difficult for the exact reasons you mentioned, among others.

The main focus of this app is getting the underground projects a chance at the lime light. Connecting dev and sales in a way that they can give their projects life (and make some money doing it). It's not attempting to "find the perfect cofounder" or "build the perfect team" but simply to connect the right people, with the right skill-sets to get projects off the ground (and make money doing it).

> Mission critical software is created by processes, not individuals.

I worked on software for the military, which was under a process (heavily regimented, I might add), and yet US soldiers still died when the software failed. It wasn't one person with a keyboard, it was a group decision and politics that allowed it to happen.

Processes in the end are still run by people. Sometimes people do the thing they think is right, yet end up with a result which is very very wrong.

I mean, yeah, that's really insensitive.

It's not about the number in this situation, it's about the stats. Uber's cars kill at a higher rate than the average driver.

My father has a wonderful old book published in 1896. It's a textbook for University students on physics. What makes it interesting is that the electron was discovered in 1897.

I can't say I've studied the book in detail, but what I did find was something that reminds me a lot of where we are today with dark matter. We understand the problem, and where something ought to fit into it and there's lots of good theories being tried out- but we just don't know what the answer is yet.

I suspect we're writing this generation's version of that book right now, and we call the subject "dark matter".

Answer A: in the case that you think you can publish at just the right time such that every political party would have enough time to master the tech before the next election cycle.

Answer B: in the case that you can charge exorbitantly for access to the published algorithm, and that - being a rational actor without nationalistic pride - you don't give two hoots and a holler what happens to the nation where you publish, so long as you can walk away with a fat paycheck.
