Exactly. My professor who taught one of my Communication courses was so underpaid that the Times Union covered her.

RPI is a neverending horror story.
I’m not sure that was the plan so much as their ruthless search for power efficiency and integration on the phone.

But wow does it look like it will pay off.
War has always been great for plunder and profit. Some of the biggest corporations are in the war racket. Arms dealers arm both sides in a conflict, sit back and rake in the profits. Corporations constantly stoke the WWIII fire, little people like us are lucky that a situation beyond our ability to contain it hasn't developed.
It's a hard balance. Dvorak is vastly better than Qwerty and is ubiquitous. I have seen Colemak pretty commonly, and Workman once in a while. I don't doubt Workman might be marginally better than Dvorak, but I don't know if it's enough better for me to be the change that I want to see in the world.

Idle CMOS transistors don't have very much leakage current. They do consume some power but not much. Intel has gotten a lot better about clock gating ensuring more of the chip is truly idle.

I always have my projects setup to use Kibit and Eastwood.

And depending on my editor, I might use Joker for syntax checking as I type. Cursive has pretty good inbuilt linting too.
My dad was an accountant and eventually ended up having hiring responsibilities. Same deal: if you bought on someone who spent 3 years at university getting an A+ on everything, they probably didn’t spend a ton of time out meeting people and exploring the world, and thus typically less good in front of clients. Obviously lol everything, there will always be exceptions.

To get the max performance on modern CPU the code has to be cache-aware. It is painful to program for that in C. One often ends up with very complex macros or writing code generators that writes CPU-specific C code. So modern ISA are not designed for C.

By such arguments one can claim that CPU are designed for Fortran as it's compilers allows to write fast code with less efforts than in C/C++.

If this is really the case, which I suspect it is, then university is a gigantic waste of time, and hiring practices are more like reading tea leaves rather than an "employee SLA".

that 30k i spent really wasnt worth it!!
That's why I think the universities should be holding high school exams. More generally, students/pupils should be judged by the institutions they're about to enter, rather than the ones they're leaving.
Was this post written on a phone? The amount of abbreviations ("Ppl", "gfx") and emojis is bothersome.
I don't believe it is possible to hand tune every program to beat a compiler.
hi Greg, we don't offer filtering by cities at the moment, only states/countries, so, you wouldn't have been able to look up, "Bridgeport" specifically, right? A lot of people punch in a city and hit "search" but what they get as a response are matches from "any country" which is the default. Which is why you didn't see the basic filtering you were expecting.

Regardless, I just looked at our results for tech support in CT and I agree we need to work harder on our results, but comparing to Google, they only had tech support jobs (not even business listings)... which makes sense in their product use case.

I can see what you're saying and Google is by far, the industry benchmark, but it's also difficult to compare results sometimes ... it's like Apples and Oranges.
Yes. The projects someone has done is more useful, but only as a source of topics to ask questions about. I keep on running into recent grads from prestigious University of California system schools with 3.75+ GPAs who don't know basic things about pointers, who can't concretely specify a design for even a small subsystem, and who seem to have only ever glued libraries together with a high level language, nothing more.

I introduce a 2 element cycle in a dataset, and ask how we can detect such things, and have repeatedly gotten an if-clause that would only detect the 2 elements. Then I ask about a 3 element cycle, and I've even gotten another if-clause to detect the 3 elements as an answer multiple times.

What in the world!?
Thanks, this is exactly the kind of thing I want to read up on!

TI isn't in the application processor business like before. They don't do cutting-edge like 10nm parts, and they are also well-diversified in other sectors. They'll sell 10,000 op-amps for every Sitara that goes out.

PE advisor guy here.

I'm not sure why the author acting as if the negative externalities of subprime lending are all of the sudden new because PE firms are taking stakes in them. Are they "supercharged" because of mega PE funds? Probably, but I think the fact that these firms are so profitable (regardless of PE) is the bigger topic at hand.

Problem here is two-fold:

1. Why isn't the regulation that does exist working like it should?

2. Assuming you think these loans should just not exist - think again. First, it's obvious there is demand for this type of lending. Second, I would love for someone to tell me how for-profit entities in this space would avoid using dark patterns to get people to pay them back. There's usually a reason many entrepreneurs stay away from these business models - they are notoriously scummy for a reason.

This all reminds me of dark patterns technology managers implement to increase conversions (which IMHO is no different than what subprime lenders do). So for people who read this and think "oh this is so wrong"...is it ok for you to maximize profits using dark patterns (and thus extracting value to the wealth of your company) but not for a sub-prime lending?

For record - I'm not arguing one way or the other, just something for the HN crowd to ponder. For more details on this topic, great documentary on netflix:

Is SBCL winning in anything? One of my acquaintances, a Lisp zealot, convinced me to jump in and make my next project in SBCL. Short story, it was a joke. Nobody seems to have done any serious work in SBCL in over a decade. Basic things are either completely missing or broken. Clojure I can at least make working software in. The fact that you are putting SBCL up there with Clojure makes me wonder if you've ever used SBCL.
>Humans have a 1/3 lifetime cancer risk, and I suspect it will go up if we extend lifetimes. It's a wall to longevity.

No, it's not. Cancer is just a form of malfunction of cellular machinery, and as such, can certainly be mitigated or cured at some point. There's already lots of promising research in eliminating it, such as by re-purposing viruses to program the body's immune system to recognize and eliminate the cancerous cells.

It might require artificial intervention, but I believe cancer will be mostly eliminated before too long. And artificial intervention shouldn't be a problem: we have to do this on all our other machines too, we just call it "repair" or "maintenance". There's no such thing as a machine which never needs maintenance from an external source.

SEEKING WORK - San Diego, CA or Remote

Email: hey@workwithgosha.com

I’ve been doing a lot of mobile and front-end work past couple of years, but I know my way around back-ends, architecture, deployment as well.

Most of my experience comes from consulting. You can see my some of past works & references here: http://goshakkk.name/works/

I keep a blog about React Native & React (http://goshakkk.name) and have self-published a book about forms in React (http://goshakkk.name/the-missing-forms-handbook-of-react/).

A bunch of buzzwords because apparently everyone needs them: React Native, React, JavaScript, Flow, Redux, Ruby, Rails, PostgreSQL, Haskell, type systems.

Note: my handle has nothing to do with the kkk.
Not just resolution, but overall sensitivity as well - meaning that green light of the same intensity looks brighter. This is also why most night vision devices use green phosphor, why some flashlights have a green LED (less energy for the same perceived brightness -> more battery life), and why green lasers for pointing/marking are increasingly common.

Since black is the same black in both cases, a green CRT will therefore has a higher perceived contrast.
The problem is banning all coins from advertising with some sort of blanket ban is unproductive. As it stands there are tokens that can be used to purchase file storage (Sia), computation, gold-backed ERC20 tokens, social media curation via Steemit, rewarding content creators via micropayments (BAT), etc. The definition of a cryptocurrency and what it's used for is fluid and changing. Not all crypto ads are investment oriented. I think a more sensible approach would be to require advertisers to either encourage responsible purchasing or warn them that a token could lose value.

Right. That's what I actually wanted to ask with my first question (but didn't).
I worked my way through college and still got a 3.75 in a double major of Math and CS. My girlfriend at the time got a 4.0 at her college but had a full tuition scholarship and did it by dropping any hard math course that wasn't absolutely required. We both later got PhDs in our respective fields. I used to help her with her homework a lot.

Who was more well-rounded? I challenged myself with some of the courses I took and was overloaded some of the time due to work obligations, etc. I got a "C" in one math class in my final semester. Grades tell a tiny fraction of a story about discipline and self-sacrifice.
