No. The relevant theorem is called Darboux's Theorem. It states that if f(x) has a derivative f'(x) everywhere, then f'(x) satisfies the intermediate value property, meaning: If f'(A) < 0 and f'(B) > 0 then there exists a C between A and B such that f'(C) = 0. Why this is interesting is because f'(x) can be a discontinuous function.

f'(x) being discontinuous is not the same thing as f(x) not having a derivative at some point; for example, the absolute value function |x| is simply not differentiable at x=0. The following function IS differentiable at x=0 but its derivative at x=0 is discontinuous:

f(x) = x^2 sin(1/x) if x != 0 else 0

You can verify that this function satisfies Darboux's theorem.

Darboux's theorem implies in particular that if f'(x) exists at some point x and is discontinuous at that x then the discontinuity is not a jump discontinuity.

+ I'd probably go ahead and move "How it works" to the landing page. It's an important question for the target market. Maybe more important than the list of features in terms of content (if so, put it higher up the page) because the features emerge from how it works.

+ On my laptop the Hero image takes all of the screen height. It contains almost no useful information. In part because the image of the report is a lorem ipsum. Showing actual output would start to answer my most important question, "what the hell is it?"...the other two important questions are "why should I care?" and "how does it work?".

+ The "elevator pitch" lacks clarity and sizzle:

Communicate project progress
from developer activity
with just a few clicks

Maybe something like "Quick progress reports from Github commits"...though I am just guessing at the Github part, maybe it's Trello, maybe it's something else. Back to the "How does it work?"

Good luck.
Right now we are going through a federal audit. We sell only to US orgs, but also have a social media platform.

Because our social media platform is open to all, we are addressing adhering to the GDPR. In spirit, we already do, but they want what amounts to 5 documents how we use metrics and user data.

(Edit: we use metrics only in a '20 new people signed up'. We treat all data as federal confidential data. We also abide by deletion requests - immediately all user data is zeroed out, and a script overnight removes the zeroed fields. If it should not have been entered, we also will nuke users on backups too.)

If you're doing things respectfully and the right way, the GDPR is a nuisance. If you were hoovering anything and everything, you're in for a bad time.

And given your comments above, I'd put you in the company of "Hoover, Dyson, and Electrolux".

Edit:
> "My customers are all happy with my privacy policy,"

Do they have a choice, aside to never use your stuff? If do you force acceptance of the 'privacy policy' on usage of your service? If you, that is in direct violation of the GDPR.

Hope you never want to consider European citizens as a customer. Building in this respect is cheap, but is expensive if you ignore now.

Think of this as "California Emissions". Eventually the US will adopt, even if in defacto. Might as well be on the right side of the fence.
Objects definitely do get brighter* when coming towards you and dimmer when going away from you, but this is special relativity, not parallax. It certainly wasn't known at that time.

* The light becomes more energetic, anyway, thanks to blue shift. Whether you count this as brighter depends on how you define brightness.
I gave up on reddit politics because it has an overwhelming pro establishment, pro-corporate-democrats bias. And in their effort to fight against "fake news" this has gotten worse because they effectively only accept links from pro-establishment sources like the washington post.

Additionally,criticism of the democratic party from the left is frequently met with accusations of being a russian shill.

Also I got tired of seeing overused words like "slammed" in article titles.

I get the impression I am misunderstanding EU law (not necessarily a surprise) when folks say things like "Civil law vs. Common Law" or "legal context."

If a law is on the books, it can be enforced in the EU, right? I understand there is precedent but precedent is not law, it's merely the common understanding of that law in that particular context. Precedent is overturned all the time (not to mention ignored when convenient), as it should be.

Is there a critical difference here that I am not understanding? Perhaps it has to do with the fact that the EU is not a state, but a high level guiding body for a number of states?
Recruiter here. Data Science is one of ~3 roles I generally don't recruit for. Not because Data Scientists are super hard to find, but more because companies seem to all want data scientists and all want them to do completely different things and none of them really understand those things. Makes for a pretty lame hiring experience unfortunately. :(
It is interesting to see how we got here. Seeing a long arc of...dismissed ideas, let's say, can give us perspective on the ideas we hold today that are more or less a historical accident and, hopefully, the conceptual room to change them if they don't work.

I haven't read the article, but does that about sum it up?
If you read some biographies of influential people, they were often very obnoxious and uncaring assholes in person. When the culture is obsessed with personality cults, there is tendency to to worship them or completely dismiss their achievements.

A significant amount of how our society approaches technology issues almost seems like everyone has agreed that they WANT a gigantic catastrophe. Like they want to see an action-movie-scale real life supervillain to emerge who uses technology to severely harm people. I won't be surprised when one nutcase has prison doors flying open, planes falling from the sky, ATMs nationwide spilling into the streets, stock market prices spinning randomly, electrical grids frying themselves and everything attached, all at the same time.

Yes, and JS was not the center of it at all. Support was inconsistent, it was slow, leaked memory...

Actually, most actors tried to find a way to replace JS with something in house (ActionScript, ActiveX, Java applets) so they could dominate the market.
Recently I wrote a tweetstorm of my not-so-great experience hunting for a data science job last summer: https://twitter.com/minimaxir/status/951117788835278848

Despite data science being a hot job, the sheer, growing number of MOOCs available will cause the high amount gatekeeping from many prospective employers to get even worse.

I am very happy as a data scientist now, and yes, it's more complicated than doing Excel VLOOKUPs! Although I did get rejected from those VLOOKUP positions many times in my job search...
Here in Lisbon all the subway lines have mobile signal (the operators installed base stations along the line back in 2006). I'm not sure how good is the internet connection, but works fine for calls.
The western world has developed institutions that give it security. Once those parts of the world ravaged by war do the same, they too will enjoy peace and stability.
> State actors demand access to the source code of proprietary software

So, when China or Russia are building windows exploits, they just demand Microsoft hand over source?

Also, the idea that “locked down” Linux would do any better than windows is ridiculous. The Linux codebase is enormous and complex and full of bugs. At least if you’d said some type of high security microkernel, you could put forward forward some logical arguments.
For all the evidence we have, MAD has worked. Still here. Still no WWIII. At the beginning of the twentieth century it was looking like we'd have another world war every twenty years or so for the rest of time.

As best we can tell, nukes actually did end large-scale war. I would call that at least a partially mitigated disaster.
> Newtonian physics cannot even predict the future positions of three body from their initial positions.

Uh... yes it can. We don't have a closed-from solution [1] for the three-body problem, but we do have existence proofs that, for any initial condition that does not result in a collision, there is a well-defined, unique solution for the motion of bodies given that initial condition. (This kind of uniqueness/existence proof is quite hard in differential equations, hence why you win $1 million if you can prove the same thing for Navier-Stokes equations).

[1] Actually, reading on Wikipedia, we do have a series expansion for the 3-body problem. It's just a really, really, really slow converging series.
> So taking a year or two to figure out how to be an adult is not the worst approach to take.

A year spent figuring out how to be an adult would indeed be helpful. Unfortunately, for students who are still immature and sheltered at 18, an additional year spent having their lives completely managed by their parents seems more likely.

Hey Jeremy, I’m saying they should take care of it for me.

As a database operator I treat safety on i3 similarly where I have multiple hot replicas of my data so that if any fails I’m good to go. Additionally, there isn’t any reason you couldn’t have a EBS replica of an ephemeral node.

What we typically do with i3 is mirror the data locally, replicate it, have an EBS replica, and take backups. This is probably overkill but the data needs to be both accessed quickly and secure so that’s where we are at.

For me the value of my degree is very clear: without a degree, I would have had a hard time immigrating to the US.

So this whole "Is college useful thing" is basically only relevant if you never want to live anywhere else. Immigration is far harder if you do not have a degree.
I do agree with the power of government to break the prisoners dilemma regarding to public works, but not that they have that much control over people's behavior.

The tendency of people to follow laws has shown little relation to blunt enforcement. It has to do with peoples tendency to follow norms.

This only shows that just as there are religious myths about the history of science, there are also atheist myths about the history of science, and both sides have their "true believers" who will not be swayed by the historical record. The idea that the Catholic Church was on some monolithic crusade pitting scientific inquiry against scripture is a-historical. It wasn't true in the case of Galileo. (For the record, it wasn't true in the case of Columbus either.)
Even more interesting and along the same lines of thought, Stuxnet was probably considered a failure in the eyes of its creators. The fact that we're discussing it, analyzing it, and patching its exploits is probably the exact opposite of what its creators wanted for it, even if at a point it did have the desired affects.

But now, everyone's wiser, so the game just got more complex.

The GDPR regulation directly applies in all member states, and does not need individual states to do anything at all to enact it. If national courts decline to enforce it then it can escalate to the Eu courts.

It is also international in that it applies to EU citizen date no matter which country it is held or processed in.

I tried both at the beginning of 2016, and neither of them seemed very usable at that stage. Both look much better now, and I can't wait to give them a shot.

Also noting that the semantic UI docs still give a horrible mobile experience (iOS 11).
Most scripting languages were slow at that point, and memory leaks are still rampant in popular browser engines. Microsoft had an enormous team working on "JScript". I wouldn't be surprised if the size of that team significantly exceeded the size of the V8 team in the early days.

Netscape and later Mozilla were also heavily investing in JavaScript long before Google came on the scene.
Yes, you need to look into regulations to make sure you're complying with them. I really hope that this is not news to you if you are running a business or service.

When not in an an interview I like playing with these kinds of problems, but if I look it up I'll probably find interview prep where it shows the answer as well.

Could you summarize just the problem please?
Unfortunately a lot of the "Data Scientist" I meet are nothing more than excel / sheets gurus. Most of them have never written a line of code or syntax that is more complex than a nested vlookup.

Those kinds of jobs are advertised as “data science” jobs. In fact any job that involves data manipulation at all is getting re-branded as “data science”. Partly this is employers doing a bait-and-switch to attract better candidates and partly its just jumping on the bandwagon.

But candidates aren’t entirely innocent either. How many programmers - an honest title for honest work - call themselves Senior Certified Enterprise Solution Architect Team Thought Leaders or some such nonsense? We’ve all met a few. LinkedIn is crawling with them.
If I were to guess, probably many different types of media. Music CDs, DVDs disks, usb.

Maybe those types of facilities are 99% focused on keeping data from leaving. But employees were bringing plenty of media to listen to while watching the monitors before stuxnet.

A typical facility would likely scan that incoming media and pass it to you later if it was okay’d. You aren’t allowed to ever take that media out again, however.

I’m just guessing though.

Weird how “writing portable software” was (and in many places still is) considered deep wizardry. I remember the timeframe described here and indeed “porting our software to a non-Windows platform” was on every company’s list of things they’ll never have time to do, because everyone’s code base was so thoroughly (often unnecessarily) tied to Win32.

Ask HN: Is frontend engineer valued more than backend engineer at your company?
I myself have done a lot of frontend development and UI/UX design. But I feel at my workplace, frontend dev is given less importance and money. :(

On the contrary, I think designing good UI/UX requires a lot of creativity and hard work (specially eyes get strained a lot after styling at pixel level).

While backend is all about logic, and writing organized code. But I think, thinking logically is straightforward, fun and easy. And writing organized code is something that comes with experience.

So, at your workplace, are frontend engineers valued more than backend guys?
They simply categorized internet providers as a utility. They most certainly are since it's a natural monopoly, merely a different implementation of telecom infrastructure, and is a vital service to the underlying economy... Much like electricity. You don't see electrical companies buying say Amazon and then increasing the electrical rates to their competitors Google and Microsoft. Neither should Comcast with their Xfinity streaming service be able to block or increase the cost for connecting to Netflix. Or favor their own VOIP compared to Vonage or Callcentric. This is about stopping exploitive behavior by entities which have a lot of power right now because this specific implementation of telecommunications was never defined as a utility, simply because it's new, wasn't any essential service to the economy early on, and also didn't have these anti-competitive behaviors going on until recently.
You’re right. I guess lip-reading is quite the stretch to be called body language.
Nevermind. If you check `vim-use` mailing group release email, you can see that there's `help version8.1` command which discusses the new release in more details.

I think an obvious reason for this type of interview problems is because developers at work usually talk loudly while solving problems and write code without the help of any external resource while the clock is ticking in the background. Oh, wait...

> An old work of philosophy does not describe the thing you are meant to be learning about. It was created by the thing you are meant to be learning about, much like watching a video from skater-Aristotle’s GoPro. And the value proposition is that with this high resolution Aristotle’s-eye-view, you can infer the motions.

tldr; read old philosophy to learn how to reason, read new physics to learn the results of reasoning.
This argument makes about as much sense as "if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear" in support of surveillance laws. Presumption of guilt is a terrible rule to live by.

There seem to be many more jobs in software. The jobs I found in more hardware-related fields seem to be harder to get in (especially if you're not an electrical engineer), and seem to have lower salaries. Besides, there only seem to be hardware jobs around cities with technical universities - which means I have to either give up the place I just moved in to, or travel about 3 hours a day.
My thought exactly.

At one point I even thought he might conclude with that despite a very semantically compressed solution he reverted to the original solution but with a minor twist and some lessons learned - would have been a lovely twist :)

In this case it probably was very worth while since it was so commonly used. These kind of simplifications are often riddled with trade offs that you get better at identifying and making informed decisions about as you mature and gain experience.

I do agree with pretty much everything written, though I do feel that it is hard to avoid writing bad code in the beginning (but we can certainly improve on it!).
Good luck running sql queries on your tape backup or event sourcing backend.
I'm wondering why do you think this is true? Using stuxnet as an example, would it not be better if they used every feature within reason that would add to the likelihood of success? Why does reductive elegance make an application of technology superior to an inelegant solution? Does final effectiveness not overrule the developer's aesthetics?

I'm asking in honesty, not using the question to merely attack your opinion. I recognize there are things I have probably not considered.

No, I'm sure whoever created it doesn't consider it a failure.

Its mission was to destroy some expensive industrial centrifuges and set back Iran's nuclear program. And it destroyed some centrifuges precisely as it was designed to. At that point discovery is inevitable, but whatevs because "mission accomplished".
Wow that would really turn the tables; a job board where companies must not only disclose their interviewing practices and durations but their office environment as well. It would be developer centric so developers can pick and choose the companies they want to work for based on often hidden parameters. Just the transparency requirements would automatically filter out most the chaff companies. I might have to build that out of spite. :)

We have two closely related groups in our company. Mathematical Optimization and Data Science. I am in the optimization group, but when I query the data scientists, they seem to be doing similar things - simulation, network optimization, resource allocation and planning. I am not sure why management wants to call them data science.
