I think the best way to describe the issue is to consider why people claim being in healthcare is bad (try googling around for whether it's worth being a doctor because you feel called to help people). Healthcare (and biotech feeds into healthcare) is very heirarchial, so advancement gets blocked. There are better ways to find meaning than the field you work in. Like all technology jobs it's viewed as grunt work compared to MD/PI/regulation visionaries. My main motivation is cash and experience that are difficult to get in an underfunded and sinking industry; genomics is really struggling to float as science progresses to new fields not out of the ninety's. I feel like someone stuck in a third world country watching America glitter into the sunset. Sure I make very interesting products but it is boiled down into the same day to day mundane work, but for less pay. We might get a thank you letter from someone thanking us for extending their life and that is awesome for someone like me who is not their doc. But I'm like a firefighter- utterly unappreciated by everyone else no matter what interesting piece I work on. And it's hard to save much for retirement. I haven't felt the void you feel. I would rather make a less drastic but equally important impacts on people in my spare time like as a coach- think of Maslow's heirarchy of needs and how healthcare inverts parts of it.

I see in this thread lots of people who have their security level established and are now looking to fill their social level. I feel inverted on the subject and let's just say Maslow's order matters.
You've gotten confused about how the numbers interact. The 2.5GHz is a base frequency calibrated to be under the TDP under all operating conditions[1], actual clocks are allowed to be higher (in particular when only a subset of cores are used), but subject to thermal throttling. The chip turbos to 3.8GHz in single core operation. Surely the 5GHz number is likewise a turbo rate.

This sounds extraordinarily doable to me. I'd be very shocked if this was anything but an off-the-shelf SKL-SP die with consumer fusing.

[1] And given that it's a server part, this calibration is inherently more conservative than you see in desktop stuff.

My personal pet peeve is the confusing paste buffer(s). On macs it is always ⌘+C and ⌘+V. On linux it may be CTRL+INS and Shift+INS, CTRL+C and CTRL+V, mouse-select and middle-button click and so on.
So according to you IBM and Unisys mainframes, the Xerox PARC computers, watchOS apps don't run native code.
Except that's not right. It may be. In fact persuing correlations is how we do science. At some point we gain enough confidence in the correlations that we call it causation.

Make sure you include taxes in your "total cost." You will owe taxes this year on the difference between what you pay and the current valuation of the company.

Even though your company has not raised money in while, they may (should?) have been filing 409A's which calculate the current value.
Hmm. I could do that.How much money would that be valuable to you?

I'll second that too.

LSD has much more of an edge and has caused long lasting psychological issues for me (having dropped a dozen times) that I still find myself struggling with on occasion to this day (about a year after my last dose).

Mushrooms are much softer on you, and I believe they can be much more useful. In the right setting, with the right people I would be inclined to take mushrooms again at some point in my life, but I wouldn't take LSD again.

> Right now I'm working on a feature that I estimated as 'a couple of hours'. I've been working on it all day by now. Not because the feature is that difficult, or because I didn't get a set of good requirements. The requirements are crystal clear and should be easy to implement.

Just because you're wrong sometimes doesn't mean you can't be right more often than not.

Another way to look at it is, as a company how can you budget anything if you can't make even the slightest of estimations?

What you're suggesting results in throwing away any ability to budget, roadmap, coordinate, etcetc. Absolute prediction is of course impossible, but if what you're saying is true than I should buy a lottery ticket because my estimations are insanely lucky.

And sure, I get estimations that run long, we all do - I'm not saying otherwise.
I'm fine with that, just don't ask me to take personal liability for your mistakes. That's the line this crosses. I expect society to eventually fix the repair issue and if it doesn't, I'm not too worried about getting priced out of the repair market after my warranty expires.

This affects me personally.

it would be funny to write license agreements for money. They don't actually "own" the money you "gave" them, you just grant them a license to use your money. Just reciprocate the license. Just put the EULA sticker on all your big bills and they are forced to whatever you want, right?
This assumes (incorrectly) that every app is released by a different developer with their own account. In reality many of those 2M apps are basically shovelware - with developers releasing dozens if not hundreds of different apps under the same account.
tl;dr; Think about your daily workflows and what apps you use most often. How many of them are Mac-only and can you find an acceptable replacement in Linux (90% yes)? It's really easy to get started with Ubuntu and be productive from day 1.

I've used Linux as my primary system since late 90's. I switched to a Mac for a few years twice and back to Linux. My motivation for the (latest) switch is the complete lack of quality hardware and the cost of buying a Mac (not to mention Apple's complete abandoning of the desktop). For details, look at all the discussions on HN about the latest MacBook Pro.

I would echo what several people have stated here, about getting a Developer edition from Dell preloaded with Ubuntu. Those Precision laptops are not the same as the XPS's, though they look alike. The hardware is just different enough to make it easier to run on Linux.

The way it worked for me is: I took stock of the apps I spent 90% of my day using on a Mac, which are: gVim, Terminal, Chrome, Firefox, Slack, Spotify, Keybase, Dropbox and a few system monitoring things.

All of that runs great on Ubuntu out of the box and with an hour's worth of Googling, you'll have your laptop configured exactly as you want. The only real issue for me was dealing with the touchpad; all that took was installing a different driver and I was done.

I do install the latest kernel when it comes out, but that's cause I like pain and is completely unnecessary.

It's been a year since I made the switch and the only thing I miss from my Mac is Sketch. There is Gimp and Inkscape, but it's not the same.

My workflows are the same, if not better. Running the same OS as the EC2 instances I'm running keeps a lot of dumb mistakes from deployments.

Being able to spin up a bunch of Vagrant boxes or Docker images and not have the UI come to a halt is fantastic.

Easiest option, install a Vagrant box with Ubuntu desktop on it and use it for a day. You'll see if you like it very quickly.
There's a company called Beyond Sports which is working on this sort of technology:

https://www.beyondsports.nl/products/vr-broadcasting

I think the future of all sports broadcasting will be a kind of hybrid video + realtime rendering thing which will all for virtual cameras and other sorts of data overlays, controlled by the broadcaster and by the viewers.

Our current technique of just aiming a few cameras at the action will seem primitive and incomplete. Like how listening to radio broadcasts of old baseball games feels to us today.
> I would say failure by definition cannot be held up as a goal.

It depends on who is doing it. Maybe you understand what you said, but others have an interest in not understanding it because they have an obstacle in themselves.

> The upside of failure is that it teaches more reliable lessons than success, there's no survivorship bias at play when learning from failures like there is with success.

I would like to improve your abilities or otherwise open up your wisdom. Any "upside of failure" is by definition a success. Therefore people's statements about success and failure, as if the nature of the result can be captured by a singular datapoint, are self-contradictory, and meaningful only as a reflection of the individual's limitation of understanding.

> if you'd like to see that perspective defended by someone with authority.

We're talking about wisdom here, so the only authority is a perfectly enlightened being, not an ordinary human being who has knowledge but no way to confirm the degree of exactness of their own ability to make confirmations. No one without enlightenment perceives the causes of why things happen to them. If you want to convince me someone is an authority on how a good and a bad thing happens then I will need to see any proof at all they realize the principle by which the world operates. Otherwise you should realize that's merely their own ideas, of which some percentage may be correct, despite their inability to confirm it.

> Contrary to popular advice, I am not a fan of "trip sitters" because the presence of third parties tasked with judging your sanity can be a little stressful.

i totally see where you are coming from with this, and i mostly agree for experienced trippers.

that said, the worst thing that's likely to happen with a sitter is that they mess up the vibe and you don't enjoy the trip. much worse things can happen when you trip unsupervised. i've seen a dude try to jump off a three story building (to be fair he was probably not in a good mental state before the trip began) and have to be physically restrained. another of my friends, very experienced with psychedelics, lost his shit on shrooms and ran up to a security guard and starting talking to them, which got him suspended from school.

anecdotally, i have found that most people have the good sense to just stay put and not do dangerous things while tripping, but shrooms in particular seem to make people get up and move around and do crazy (risky) shit. maybe you don't need a sitter, but you do need to take measures beforehand to stop yourself from doing stuff you would regret. having a relatively sober friend around can prevent most of the truly awful outcomes, especially if they are bigger than you.

You can also leverage embed() within ipdb too and it can be nested. Very useful. Especially when combined with the ultratb or set_trace() from ipdb (or pdb):

syntax is a little different dependant on whether you're in py3 or 2.7 so just google it but the jist of it is you replace the sys.excepthook with this colortb then when your script hits an uncaught exception say, you'll be presented with an ipdb colorised traceback.

You can step up and down the stack frames, embedding at any point with `from IPython import embed` then `embed()` to get a fully functional ipython repl. game changer
Generally speaking, the code you write in a notebook isn't too important for presentation, the code you write in a notebook creates something to be presented (a chart, an output value, a pandas dataframe). I'll grant that this isn't true 100% of the time, but I find its normally the case.

So start with the assumption that you have magic tooling (which I know exists) that allows you to ignore diffs in generated output as far as code review and committing is concerned. The impl doesn't really matter. Then you also have magical tooling that allows you to write unit tests at the cell level, either treating a cell as a function container, and testing the single function within or treating a cell an "hermetic" function itself, where you configure globals, run the cell in the context of those globals, and see what the globals look like afterwords.

That's why I'm saying you need dedicated tooling support. And you're still thinking in the realm of "oh I test this normally". No no, I mean truly dedicated libraries that hook into the notebook environment itself. You might structure your tests as pytests, but under the hood they're spinning up a notebook env and doing magic.

>units of implementation logic into a separate helper module in the first place.

Well sure, you need this anyway though. Any kind of shared infrastructure should be factored out into a module, not because of the notebook environment, but because that's good abstraction independent of how you're presenting your models.

They totally do use old kernels, but in practice I have not run into issues (and almost all my consulting clients were in on CentOS before I started working with them, so the die was mostly cast).

I liked OpenSUSE when I used it. Fedora's the path of least resistance for me. I kinda feel like "Not Ubuntu" is a bigger thing, in 2018, than whether you're in on Fedora or OpenSUSE or Arch or whatever; the tide seems to have turned against it as a server operating system in my neck of the woods and I tend to think you should try to stick at least reasonably close to what you're deploying on.
I transitioned from OS X by installing Debian on a Macbook (dual boot with OS X). If I remember correctly, I never booted into OS X again, and eventually switched to Thinkpads, Dell XPS etc. I am a Backend Engineer so I have the luxury of not being dependent on proprietary developer ecosystems like iOS etc.

Good luck!

I appreciate the followup. Note that I'm not defending the Reveal investigation as a whole, for the sake of this argument. The complaint that Reveal is unfairly or disproportionately criticizing Tesla is not for me to decide. My main point is whether the investigation's primary claim -- that Tesla is undercounting reportable injuries -- is valid.

The way US funds public transport sometimes feel really silly to me. It costs $5 to drive across the Bay Bridge. Traffic is a nightmare. But it costs at least $7 for the same trip on the Bart. Bart is still at full capacity showing a clear market for it. A new tunnel would ease the traffic on the bridge and provide better public transport. But, even the so called progressive politicians talk about building a new bridge.
Similarly costs are absolutely outrageous - it could cost up to $400 million just to add a bike lane to the Bay bridge.

The Chromebook 2 will always have a special place in my heart.

When I was transitioning into software development, I had ~$1000 left in my bank account, but the consultancy I had just landed an internship with asked me to provide my own laptop, so figuring the compatibility would be decent, I forked out roughly $450 for a Toshiba Chromebook 2 and a new emmc drive. Developed on that thing for a over a year running Ubuntu and later GalliumOS.

The screen is still better than my ThinkPad. Unfortunately, I spilled water on the keyboard at some point, but it pulled double duty as a travel laptop for a year or so after retirement as my daily driver.
Very well put. It reminds me of the “Halting Problem”. Although for a subset of programs, it can be proven that they will finish in a predictable amount of time. Maybe this also holds for projects.
I don't see how you take the writer saying "These people are reporting outright falsehoods and their falsehoods appear to closely match the talking points of a PR campaign" as an indication that they're committed to defending Tesla. If those facts are true, that seems like the sort of thing an unbiased analysis would explain.
In this case I prefer Microsoft than Google. They both spy on us, but Google has a much more complete profile of me.
The simple fact is that individuals or companies following System 1 have a much greater chance of survival in the competition. The consulting individuals or companies will simply find it hard to survive without System 1 - unless they already had a lot of capacity and capability built up. Unfortunately many get comfortable using System 1

System 2 works for Products (includes SaaS) and chances are that it mostly works for Products that have been slightly successful in the first place. This is where you also find consulting companies that may have obnoxious rates.
The headline should be "Ashur advocates that it is better that a device be unencrypted, than encrypted with Speck". Ashur argues for that position and you can read his reasoning in detail in the above link, but that's the question you want to be thinking about when thinking about this.
You have succinctly, albeit unintentionally, summed up why the GDPR is often seen as bad. The way I read it "the end goal is good and/or some part of it is good, so it is all good, right?" Requiring transparency requirements of companies like Tesla is laudable without a bunch of baggage and large sweeping changes. Unfortunately people often can't see the difference between intent and implementation and assume you are for both or against both.

This isn't reversing the question - it's asking an entirely different question. My question was about the value of the data to a consumer. Presumably, this data is a mixture of location history, sensor/actuator logs (maybe human readable?), and maybe various state data for ML algorithms.

Depending on the human "readability" of this data - how could someone without proprietary knowledge find any value in it? That's my question - which is more leading towards "Tesla won't give drivers a means to analyze their crashes" which is a much harder pill to swallow as a Tesla driver, law enforcement officer, etc.
chromebooks would be great if it weren't for the rather large software limitations of their ARM processors. so many packages and libraries just wont work. at that point, chromebooks feel like just another toy similar to your phone.

For the record, 18.04 isn't a dev version now, but 16.04 won't offer the update until 18.04.1 is released in a couple of months. That's a chance for early bugs to be ironed out before lots of LTS users upgrade.
I dunno man I found that after using mac the transition was pretty much seamless. Mac has a lot of GNU tools that I was already familiar with. I guess it matters how you had been using a mac. It is true that it is much easier to use a mac as a non-developer but it's also equally easy to use as a developer.

I took a new job and had the opportunity to pick my computer. After using a personal Mac laptop for a few weeks I wasn’t happy with the performance of the tools, so I took a chance and got a Thinkpad X1 Carbon 2018.

I am really happy with it. It’s running Ubuntu 18.04, the performance is really good. I have the 2560x1440 screen and I don’t use scaling; it’s small but I have lots of real estate.

I like how light it is and how well it makes use of its form factor. I like the keyboard, I also like that I don’t need to worry about a stray hair causing my E key to stop working.

The only issues I had were some changes that needed to be made to system configuration so that it would sleep properly.
