I find it curious that there are so many courses for data-science related subjects, which superficially seem to cover the same material, and relatively few courses covering more traditional CS topics such as computer systems, networks, OS. I suppose it has to do with the market, but also feels like colleges are skating to where the puck is, rather than where it will be (or perhaps, where it could be).
Right. Crops affected and beaches shut down. Probably would change weather patterns drastically, too.
I compliment my regular nutrients with multivitamins, chelated magnesium, enzymes, amino acids, probiotics, omega-3 fatty acids and medium chain triglycerides. My health has been steadily improving over the years. I look and feel younger today than I did 10 years ago.

My only regret was not starting this much sooner.

> I think the difference between arbitrary code in buildfiles and an obscene zoo of plugins running arbitrary code is rather small in terms of actually understanding the build.

Completely disagree. Off-the-shelf plugins behave in defined and documented ways, and understanding a build that uses a particular plugin just means reading that plugin's documentation. When you allow arbitrary code in the build file, it means you have to puzzle out what the author was trying to do, for each and every case where you see unusual arbitrary code. You also get into situations where there's more than one way to accomplish many tasks, so you have to learn all of them instead of relying on a standard built-in method.

Sure, any random maven user in your organization can write a plugin to add undocumented behavior, but I rarely see that happen in practice. Even though writing a maven plugin actually is pretty easy, there's an implied barrier both in setting up a plugin project and writing it, as well as publishing it in a way that that a consuming build can use it. So you end up with it being rare to write a custom plugin. There are very few things you can't do with off-the-shelf maven plugins, and arguably I'd rather be restricted and be unable to do some things than have to deal with the mess that arbitrary code creates. I've seen it time and time again with people who try to introduce sbt into my org, and it makes me want to scream.

I see it a big surprise that something known even to schoolchildren out there, is such a "revelation" to the British public and law enforcement. The hearsay was around for at least 8 or 7 years.

I cut the cord 12+ years ago, and would never go back.

I watch quite a bit of YouTube, a mix of regular channels that produce content I enjoy and random things I discover. I watch 80+% of that on my TV via my Apple TV.

And while I use an ad blocker on the web and on my phone,
it's not too bad on YouTube. They let you skip most ads after a few seconds, only forcing you to sit through every X number of them.. That seems fair enough for free content.

I'm also way more inclined to sit through an ad if it's presented during a long(ish)-form video that I'm interested in, rather than something I'm skimming past on Twitter (I'm not on Facebook).

I do hope they get smarter about figuring out where to insert them though (maybe creators can set suggestion markers?) because sometimes they show up at awkward times..

So yeah, anecdotal evidence of course, but based on how I consume video, what Conde Nast is doing makes a lot of sense.
I think vaporware does the job.
That's what I was thinking, having used RDF a bit. I liked that the article touched on some more intricate details, things like the timestamp when a fact was added, or disputed facts (well, tags ...). But obviously it gets complicated quite quickly.

The volumetric video rendering they showed seems particularly compelling for me, having played a bit more with VR recently.

What're the current methods for doing reasonable volumetric video capture? I had a set up of kinects a few years ago, but it was quite tedious to programmatically interact with in real-time.
Yeah, I've found this is the case as well. Ever since I've gone remote, I've faced ongoing pay cuts. I used to live and work in San Francisco, where my salary was quite high. If you work for a company that is not based in SF or NYC, you will take a massive pay cut.

Most companies based out of SF will only hire local employees because they want to justify their huge real estate expenses. If they do hire remote, they all try and pay local market rates for where you are based out of.

In the end, the trade-offs in pay are worth it for me since I've gotten significantly better types of work, and significantly better quality of life. It still irks me though, since I know I provide the same or better value as I did while my butt was situated in SF.
Of course it's a difficult problem, but why try and dissuade people from attempting it? Nothing novel ever came from somebody who didn't fail first : )
Right. And in my opinion that's a strength. I don't want it to be trivially easy to do something custom. I want the person who thinks they need to do something custom to think long and hard about it, and really pause to consider they might be approaching the build issue in the wrong way before plowing ahead with some custom, (often) unmaintainable code. Having guardrails in your build system that are difficult to jump over is a good thing.

Pretty much what people expected, the cars cant handle roads with faded or incorrect white lines. Lots of people now looking for bad roads with incorrect white lines and releasing videos how the cars get confused and almost run into the barriers or walls.

You guessed wrong! Apple's deal is with the card issuers, so the only people doomed by Apple's disfavor are customers with cards from banks that haven't adopted Apple Pay. Apple has no say over which merchant can use it.

Also I think you missed the part where Apple Pay doesn't involve 3 digit CVVs.
That's sounds a lot like the problems France had prior to the revolution internal trade had to go though lots of little local barriers.

I don't know what "perf equivalent" means. Parallel performance tools usually use PAPI, which provides similar data, possibly a superset of perf data on Linux. Score-P has an actual perf plugin. http://www.vi-hps.org/training/material/ is one source of material on such things, though biased towards distributed (MPI) systems and OpenMP threading.

You can mostly do this by making all of your objects "ref", meaning you can have multiple readers and writers but you can't share the objects between actors. However, you can run into multithreading quickly because so much of the system is built on top of actors. For example, you can have a mutable (ref) string, but you can't easily print it out because the stdout stream is managed by an actor and you can't send a ref object to another actor.

Once you get used to reference capabilities they aren't really a big deal, but it can be hard at first, especially if you aren't thinking about your program executing thing concurrently.

Even after years of programming, most people (myself included) still instinctively think of concurrently executing code as the exceptional case, rather than as the common case. Pony makes it easy to write concurrent programs, but it makes you be explicit about how to do it safely. So I guess I see it less as a premature optimization and more as a different way of thinking about problems.
"If you just hurt yourself, nobody cares. If hurting yourself hurts others, then other people care." That's pretty cold-blooded and brutal, but it does make some sense...

This being on the front page makes me question the standards that the HN community has for managerial advice...

Anyway, bad hiring/firing advice is a lot like a bad hire/fire... Really bad. And this is almost entirely bad hiring/firing advice.

I love this. This is the ultimate wisdom of crowds hack.

Have a thousand people throw in a thousand bucks, each one selects an option play to purchase. Randomly select the purchase. If the play is profitable, keep the money. if it's a loss get the trade reverted because 'a lot of people were involved in the process.' I can make the process as convoluted an necessary to meet your 'no one person you can lay blame on' rule.

I think that's a stupid rule, because it's so easy to hack.

The more money staked on a trade, the higher the threshold should be to roll it back. More people mean more chances to catch the error, not the other way around.

edit

also, the corporation itself is the person that takes the blame. if it can't manage itself, it shouldn't manage your money.
Yea, I thought that Euclideon had changed their name.
A couple of times, and it’s nowhere near a real hamburger, but then, neither are a lot of what people get from fast food or buy frozen. It could probably replace the ultra-low-end burger, but anyone who likes actual beef is going to be confused by the hype. Personally, I’d rather eat less beef for health and environmental reasons, an avoid substitutes that try badly to be like beef.

Vegetarian food is at its best when it’s not trying to imitate something it isn’t.

Certainly a larger number than the number of deaths caused by Autopilot failure (which makes major news in every individual case). Have a look at YouTube for videos of Teslas automatically avoiding crashes.

This is a good point, and easy to imagine a situation where a foreign citizen might fear retaliation from various bad actors were it know that they were exfiltrating assets to other countries. I think the question should be whether this is remotely as common as laundering. It seems implausible to me that a considerable number of people other than the elite and corrupt use anonymous foreign shell corporations to protect their safety and legitimately acquired property.

I think addressing this kind of corruption is an international cooperation problem and, in utilitarian terms, the people who are harmed by financial corruption stand to gain more by solving it than the people who profit from that kind of anonymity.

I’m certainly willing to be convinced by evidence that a considerable number of foreign citizens need to own shell corporations in my country simply to protect their liberty and property, but I find that pretty far fetched.
Very interesting. So native Linux version is possible?

Thanks Nightdive!
Atomontage has been around for many years now without any release. The two Achilles heels of finely detailed voxel engines have historically been animation and lighting. Based on the video, it looks like they have animation now but the lighting doesn't seem to be any better.

All of the shading that I've seen in past Atomontage videos has been screen space ambient occlusion, which is a great effect but is no substitute for real lighting with dynamic shadows. I've also seen them use AO baked directly into the voxel models.

I just wish that they would actually release something instead of posting countless tech demo videos. If the technology is so great, why aren't they trying to put it in the hands of real game developers right now? The whole thing smells of vaporware...
Sure, if you're going to use non-portable constructs, there're better alternatives to the self-pipe thing. Linux has something roughly similar with signalfd.

The nice thing about the write-a-byte-to-the-pipe thing is that it works virtually everywhere.

My problem, at least with Windows, is that it's an unholy mishmash of the two ideas.

I really just want something like a Unix filesystem, with a single root. Just with things coming off that root that actually make some goddamn sense and aren't relics from the PDP days.

Yet on Windows I have different drives that act as independent file trees, and then I have special folders that are handled somewhat differently, applications that save things in hidden folders that non-power users don't know are there, three or four different cloud storage providers that all need their own special folders, applications that can and cannot be installed in custom locations, weird special-case access control restrictions on some folders, some of the time. And all manner of other abominations.

It is far too much work to try to setup document storage in a sane way, and commit to actually doing it, and so my experience is that people increasingly don't even bother to try, and just flood their Downloads and Documents folders.

Probably (maybe?) not intentional, but suspiciously timed. Presumably off-boarding from Facebook looks a bit like a funnel, where every additional hurdle means more people will bail on their original intended action.

I nuked my facebook account a couple years back and I remember eye rolling at the number of steps. And then there was the waiting period where they’d keep my account around for some number of days or weeks just in case I decided to come back. Easier to buy a gun at a gun show than do something truly grave like get rid of a social media account.
What you describe matches my understanding perfectly.

Even if you leave finance charges out of it and are discussing debit cards - the interchange revenue is way more than enough to cover fraud liabilities. Throw in account fees, and you've got yourself a profitable product.

I was working at a small bank during ye old Target/Heartland breach years, and the only time I heard dissatisfaction expressed at the security status quo was when the breaches forced large-scale card reissuances. General fraud scaled proportionally with transaction volume, and was easy to deal with. Mass-reissuance didn't.

“Fire people whenever you can.” Don’t do this.
“There’s often someone to fire, but not many opportunities to do so.” I thought you were hiring for good reasons, why the bloat?

“it is good to at least apply a low-frequency filter when passing along the “news”, so that good and productive people can carry on without too much hassle.”

The x86_64 address-space size is currently 49 bits. There are two 48-bit halves. It could get bigger eventually. So NaN-coding (or Nan boxing, or whatever you want to call it), is risky.

I remember Solaris had a problem because it would put anonymous mmap()s in one 48-bit range and the heap and stacks in the other range, and this broke some ECMAScript implementation that used NaN-coding with the assumption that all data would be in the top 48-bit address space.
