Good performance comes down to using suitable algorithms - not optimization’s after the fact. Thoughtful algorithm choices are never premature.

There are also a lot of times when it doesn’t matter, possibly the majority of the time in some domains. I’m working on a project now where the answer takes a couple of seconds to generate but it isn’t needed for minutes so spending time to make it faster would be a waste of my clients money.
Hi Deepak,

I met you at TreeHacks this year, where I was critical of your product. I saw your post looking for a CTO and I feel compelled to warn you against pursuing this idea, again. The lobby is a bad idea because:

1. The careers space is crowded

2. Your customers are not earning money and have a multitude of free alternatives

3. Your product is extremely expensive

4. Your product is a liability for the supply side (it is a risk for employees to advise outsiders about careers at their company)

5. You overvalue the time of the customer and undervalue the time of your business side users. Being the middleman in a low-volume business like this makes no sense.

You seem like a nice guy and I don't want to see you fail. This is a terrible idea. You don't have product market fit and your CTO is going to quickly burn through your capital. The people here seem optimistic but do you really think you're going to make your million off of these interviews? I advise you to pivot/restart as best you can.

If you still believe in the lobby, just put a phone number on the website and handle everything yourself until you're up to your eyeballs in customers.

Best of luck.
My comment was a joke based on mass requirement through social pressure of people to self-oppress as presented in novels such as "1984."

Phillip K. Dick also described a machine in "Do Robots Dream of Electric Sheep," which injected the right chemicals to emulate emotional predispositions, such as compassion.

That said, I'm certain your one-on-one training is very helpful to those with an open heart and mind. My brother had to go to AA after drinking and beating his son. The whole time he complained, and I couldn't help thinking to myself, who beats their child and cannot muster up enough compassion to admit they were wrong. He was later diagnosed as manic, and I've noticed he also demonstrates a predilection for self-cruelty (per your comment).

He works at Oracle (for example). No disrespect meant to people who work at Oracle, but I've heard it's not a very easy-going place to work.
Ah, the petty media attack on elon musk continues after elon musk called out the biased media.

https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2018/05/25/business/tesla-...

The atlantic and others already attacked him. Expect the attacks to pick up. It's embarrassing how thin skinned, petty and biased journalists are. I'm not much of a musk fanboy, but it's obvious what these journalists ( if we can really call them that ) are doing.

Also what is theguardian, a british newspaper's and other british newspapers' fascination with america? It seems like I read more "news" about america from british newspapers than american newspapers online.
I can't agree with the execution as described. It's manipulative and dishonest. Instead of squandering virtuous labels at every opportunity, do something much simpler and more genuine. Simply notice when people do something good, or right. With time, they'll internalize that feedback, and I believe the positive effects will last longer because the recipients make the connection to an actual action they have taken and can sense the authenticity of the statement in a way that coheres to their actual worldview. Much different from telling people, "you're honest", when they've done nothing to indicate it.
According to the Wikipedia article, it was required reading for a specific course, no?
As a primarily urban provider, CenturyLink almost certainly pays more into the CAF than it gets out of it. (CAF is money is collected from all ILECs and redistributed to rural ILECs).
> Then there's a misguided but common phenomenon called split-horizon DNS is also common, where you serve different records as answers to the same query based on what the query originator's address is.

Do you consider the whole functionality of views to be misguided, or just predicating the selection of view solely on source address?

I'm not sure if there's a way to handle multi-homed hosts in a more simple/elegant fashion than with views.

Merely for serving distinct "internal" and "external" zones from the same server, it seems like a convenience fraught with pitfalls.
The most unfair thing is the slave labor wages being paid to Chinese workers to make the stuff that Americans enjoy daily. In trade you obviously trade off things you need for things they need, and you don't reach an agreement unless it was ultimately beneficial to you. And let me tell ya, I'd much rather be the side that has to deal with some tariffs than be the side that has millions of my population mired in slavery to service your nation.
I used to love Opera until they made the major revision. Funny I just installed Vivaldi browser yesterday, writing this comment on it. Vivaldi is more Opera than Opera, it's no accident the founder is also one of the founders and former CEO of Opera.
I think the point is that they are willing to accept the risk of not choosing the truly best available solution in return for speed. Most practical solutions for these NP problems make the same sacrifice. The authors are just claiminng to be more effecient in deriving an approximate solution.
Another interesting one that came up recently was a Catholic priest in Kenya who raps.

However, he ended up being suspended from leading mass: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-44601638

The article doesn't go into a whole lot of detail, but I'm under the impression that the problem was that his rapping was separate to his liturgical work.
an important, at least to me, point of data that's missing is the Decibel level.
We've ended up with everyone getting a "mandatory WFH day" (not everyone takes it) because our open floor plan can't accommodate everyone in the office, and we keep hiring more people.

While I don't necessarily think writing a spec for package.json is a "horrible idea," I definitely think it's far, far too late to even bothering starting one now.

package.json is in use in so many places, with so many different changes, that it's more or less pointless to bother enforcing rules anymore.
What's the history behind 192.168.1.1?

There was an exercise by The Skeptics where they interpreted a document to provide predictions about the past and future a la Nostradamus.

It was pretty convincing for some.

The document was a manual for a clothes washing machine.

I've tried to find the link but can't at the moment. I think it was in one of the skeptics.com.au publications.
Awesome setup Brad. I wish I had a tenth of that speed. I have Verizon DSL (1.5 Mbit Down and 700 Kbit up). They advertise it as 3 down and 1.5 up, but I've never seen that. That's the best I can get in rural Virginia. I do use SQM on a Ubiquiti Edge Router X to fix buffer bloat, so latency is very good.

And thanks for all the Go code. It's awesome! I'm building 1.10.3 on an old Beagle Bone Black right now ;)
As far as I know everything you'd find in a US grocery has the measurements printed in metric and avoirdupois, but sometimes the metric measurement is a round number, and sometimes the other one.

If you look at the Wikipedia page about the 2L soda bottle, it states that round metric numbers are rare in the US, but I don't know that this is accurate* - if I look at alcohol on Wal-Mart's web site, it generally seems to be in quantities of 750ml, 1.75L. That's hard liquor, but for example rice cooking wine is also sold in 750ml. Regular wine is standardized on 750ml (occasionally 1.5L) bottles as far as I know.

Then there are things that don't make sense in any units - there is a bottle of cooking wine that is 12.9 fl oz and 381 ml.

*And it had no citation.
Something I find helpful is to performance and memory profile your projects on a semi-regular basis and establish a baseline. When things suddenly deviate (esp. memory usage) you catch it early before the problem has time to grow.
Google is also removing inline install in September, together with some other chrome web store clean-ups.

All in all, this is nothing new and it seems to be a lot of huff about a simple mistake.
What time do cafes usually close in Amsterdam?

Because it seems that the standard in Australia and NZ is for cafes to open early and close early, at around 3pm or 4pm.
If you don't keep them all, then you have to choose. Choosing takes time and effort that many people would prefer to spend in other ways.

Very few people think that every single shot will be meaningful in 30 years. But it's hard to know what will be and won't be.
American narrator: "Were artists really artistic or did they have help? Is it possible their talent was ... otherworldly?"

American talking head: "I'm not saying it was aliens, but the leaps these artists made in artistry is spooky. If they didn't have help making art then I can't explain it."
Highly amusing: "The East Berlin guards watched this exchange from a nearby watchtower. They could see he was really annoying the West Berlin authorities - so to annoy them even more, the East Berlin authorities made sure that Kalin had free and full use of the land."

Because there are no ads in the paid version, (and because they are dealing with hippa/soc2 etc.) They have no need to look at your data.
Check Google, Bing, Virustotal, Parse HTTPS Certificates including the metadata (Censys.io is great for specific queries), subdomain bruteforce with a good wordlist, download source code found in Github and regex search for HTTP urls, then parse them.

Now don't do it by hand people have already built tools. I recommend sublist3r https://github.com/aboul3la/Sublist3r, however, grab other subdomain bruteforcer wordlists and append them all together.

Go to https://opendata.rapid7.com/, download the reverse DNS and Forward DNS and grep for your domain. I.E grep "*.mydomain.com" These are amazing.

I will make a note, sometimes if you are looking for servers related to a company specifically people miss ones that aren't in a company's zone file. You need to use a service like Shodan or Censys which regularly scan the internet and index these. It can be a pain to parse through these results but if you are strapped for ideas on getting a foodhold try this. I have found some juicy servers with this in mind.

If you are on a pentest it is completely ok to ask your client for permission to view their zone file/route53 as well. This will save you a lot of time up front.
This line of reasoning does indeed embrace an alternate theory, the theory that Shakespeare didn’t write Shakespeare’s plays. And it does so based on an isolated morsel of circumstantial evidence, just as the OP described.

When an argument hinges on the sentiment “it seems unimaginable…” it often means that circumstantial evidence is being recast as something more definitive than it is.
I think it's also that most people feel like they are under a microscope, fishbowl effect. It can feel internally chaotic until sense of self stabilizes.
I really wish flexitime was a thing in more countries. I'd happily work 45 hours a week in exchange for an extra couple of weeks of annual leave. 4 weeks (Australian standard leave) just isn't long enough for a good trip anywhere, especially since you usually end up burning a week of leave through the year for random things.
When I read a post like yours, it reads like $100k salary, boring system, small company, small total addressable market, so even if wildly successful, not much upside. Boring tech too: Basically a classic database system.

My friends are mostly at Amazon, Google, or Facebook with incomes from $250k up to over $1 million. The others are at startups solving big hard problems with big dreams.

If there is no particular complexity, I'd outsource to India, Ukraine, Pakistan, or similar. If there is, I'd describe the hard problem.

The minimal qualifications aren't a draw either. I want to work with smart people. Microsoft stack reeks of low end employment.

Midwest, rural, Deep South, etc. beats Seattle too. Lower cost of living draws many developers of the sort you want. Problem is a minimal living salary broke $200k in Boston, SF, NY, etc. You don't want a low end job.

> This is a great time to call out California and its Prop 13 (1978) where property taxes are capped at 1%ish and can grow no more than 2% from time of purchase.

This is incorrect.

It's limited to an annual increase of 2%. That's still limited, but far different from 2% of the original purchase price.

https://www.californiataxdata.com/pdf/Prop13.pdf
You're getting downvoted but you're absolutely right. Don't worry though, Prop 13 is untouchable and will never get repealed.

It's ironic that most of the people complaining about Prop 13 driving housing prices up are oblivious to the fact that they, if not born in the bay area, are the sole reason for the astronomical housing price increases. Housing is expensive in the bay area for one reason, more people want to live here than there are houses available. How about addressing the real root cause and implementing a new resident tax? We can use the proceeds to pay for affordable housing initiatives.
The rule of lenity works that was for US criminal laws. For US civil law, it is not quite so.
> The standard Shakespeare, the one from Stratford-upon-Avon, allowed his children to grow up illiterate (this is an agreed fact among Shakespeare scholars). For someone who valued the English language so much, who was one of the greatest writers of the English language, it seems unimaginable that he would not have made any effort to see that his children learn to read and write.

His children were all female, no? You didn't educate women in those days.

You are applying 21st century first world standards to 16th century denizens.
> Who do you think enforces property rights?

I assume that you intended this as a rhetorical question, but the answer is not "the government". Governments do not exist to defend property rights—that is merely propaganda. No criminal organization violates property rights more brazenly or systematically than governments do on a routine basis. Every tax, every regulation, every disproportionate punishment, every victim prevented from pursuing justice while those ostensibly granted that role do nothing—almost everything the government does involves violating property rights in some form. The only point in their favor is that, like any other protection racket, they are jealous of their monopoly and not very tolerant of lesser criminals setting up operations on their turf.

> And by what basis do they lay claim to make other people respect those rights?

There is no need to "make" other people respect anything. That is what makes property a natural right; the very act of violating a property right naturally justifies a proportional response in kind. That is simple universality and reciprocation at work, the basis for any self-consistent system of rights, and it is more than sufficient to ensure that most individuals will respect others' property rights without being coerced, because they in turn need others to recognize their claims to property as valid. Those who chose otherwise cannot rationally object if their victims respond in kind, taking back their own property plus a proportional amount as retribution.

If you are interested in further reading on this subject, I can recommend Stephen Kinsella's "Punishment and Proportionality: the Estoppel Approach" (https://mises-media.s3.amazonaws.com/12_1_3_0.pdf?file=1&typ...).
I doubt it is that "critical", they likely have other cross-checks and enough production data to make that call.

Granted time crunch, but they aren't the old school with the old baggage either.

Amusingly, my friend is a high school math teacher, and had to find topics to keep the kids interested in between the AP test and the end of the school year. So he had an exercise where the kids used a software program to come up with different strategies for gerrymandering our state.

I agree, I don’t think dependent typing and validating the correctness of your program using formal proofs is ready for mainstream adoption. I think it might be ready for some domains, like aeronautics, where the cost of errors is very high.
>why are so many human beings using it?

honest question: isn't crypto currency a closed system of speculators selling to speculators? From the outside, to me at least, it seems like an incredibly energy hungry ponzi scheme designed around printing monopoly money using ultra rare deep sea squid ink.

So are people using it for any purpose other than to sell it to the next rube?

All honest questions. I really don't know of any economically useful way that crypto currency is currently used for.
My understanding is that the new language hasn't been released yet and the specs and source will be released within the next year or two.

Any of us could talk about parenting strategies ad nauseum. I have no greater wisdom. I'll just share two bits of advice I found helpful. And one belief.

Most young humans don't misbehave. It's their job to explore the world, test boundaries, learn. It's the parent's job to preserve the boundaries. Reassure the child the world is safe and predictable. Stuff like bed time rituals are super important to keeping everyone sane.

Ages 0-8, imprint your child with your values. Ages 9-12, have fun together. Ages 13-25, keep them alive.

Cognition is social. We resonate off each other. Model the behavior you expect, your kids will pick it up.

I've really enjoyed working with Sikich.
I'm a European (born and bred) who just renounced US citizenship (gained through parent) and I have to counter you. Yes Amsterdam is way better than any US city but that has nothing to do with internet entrepreneurship. The EU, European governments and European culture in general do not support entrepreneurs. I bootstrapped a company in Berlin and all the government did was try find ways to shut us down. Our main competitor (Rocket Internet company) had the means to deal with this BS but as we were a small scrappy bootstrapped company we were treated like dirt. The Stripe story is very telling in this regard. Before moving to SV they tried to launch with Irish banks as partners and were laughed at for being naive children. No one is laughing anymore.
It’s not illegal. It is against the terms of credit card agreements, and you could make the case that there isn’t enough competition there. They seem to have at least some loopholes, as I’ve seen quite a few places either offer cash discounts or require additional fees for card payments.
There's a much more obvious reason: the OP's extension presumably requested permissions to inject scripts to google.com. This is a very common pattern for malicious extensions, which can use that permission to hijack the user's Google session, or to inject third-party ads into Google search result pages. Coupled with the lack of information on the extension page, it looked risky.
List comprehensions are more a substitute for map than anything else (which is generally discouraged in the ecosystem). For comparison: `map(lambda x: x * 2, range(10))` vs `[x * 2 for x in range(10)]`.

However lambdas are mostly discouraged because they're often harder to read for anything non-trivial (and really you can't do much non-trivial with them since they are so dwarfed) and you can just define a function in the same block and pass the function reference in place of a lambda. I think the premise is more that it's clearer to pass a clearly named method describing the intent instead of a lambda describing the how.
People perfectly get this. When Google is used as an auth provider, people get accustomed to robo-clicking the "allow" button.

While there are legit use cases to grant permission to emails, many 3rd parties rely on you robo-allowing them access. It's Google's duty to protect users from such apps
Summary: a JS developer wrote a spec for the package.json file, used in Node.js projects. It has many uses, including dependency management.

A developer who has worked on some Node.js package managers (npm, yarn, pnpm) is annoyed that the spec was written by an "outsider" without getting input from stakeholders. And, trying to enforce a rigid structure and behaviour on a configuration file that is interpreted in different ways by different tools.

I agree with thosakwe's comment. The "clearly defined structure" horse has bolted. I can only see this working by creating a new file with its own conventions, which will not be compatible with any existing tooling, which means it will not be adopted by the wider community.
> Indeed. My understanding of LINQ is that a where clause, for example, creates a matching clause in the SQL it generates, so the database only fetches the elements that you want. In contrast, the Java solution seems to "select *" in SQL then iterate over the results in the application itself.

That's the difference between IQueryable and IEnumerable. If you use IEnumerable, it'll filter on the client side rather than the server side. Potentially a performance and resource and even security/privacy problem. With IQueryable, the filtering is done on the server side.

Personally, the best thing to do is to use stored procedures. ORMs and query generation on the client side is such a bad idea. But it's easy, so people go for the easy solution.
