> because the money lost by SpaceX not being able to launch on anything close to schedule costs them more than the few percent they could save

This is a valid pitch. Memorably, Skybox almost went bankrupt waiting for their Ukranian launch partner to put their birds in orbit.

That said, this isn't a good business plan. Pitching availability for a non-just-in-time manufactured product is a bearish bet on competitors' production schedules. Not a bad bet in the rocket business. But re-usability both decreases costs and increases launch frequency. Ariane 6 is, on multiple levels, the EU calling Elon Musk on a bluff. Not unreasonable a decade ago, when the project was planned. But wrong today.

It's also awkward to advertise a project by the low demand for it.

>I closely watched the financial news during the last two economic expansions and contractions, and for the last 3 months I’ve seen the same indicators I saw at the top of those two expansions.

Anyone know what those signals are? A lot of 'end is nigh' articles I've read have more details. Is it just too much growth in the stock market? Debt? Speculation?
Organic crops use organic pesticides in the US. That is, the lobby of big agra has the regulatory framework for "organic" changes to suit their purpose. It's not what you think ir is.

Or just anywhere in general?? I've always assumed 90% of anything I read in any comment section is possibly bullshit personally. I'd really like to know when I missed the 'suddenly everything on the internet is supposed to be true' boat. When did this happen. Because, i've always gone with the assumption that the internet is full of lies and nonsense.
I flat out do not buy this argument. Business is always going to complain about any kind of worker's rights, claiming they'll "kill jobs". Given the record low unemployment rate, I do not believe them.
Thanks for sharing EGreg.

Elasticsearch has geo-indexing as well(based on geohash internally), and by default it does id hashing similar to what you said(murmurhash3), we actually leverages that for location based searches.

The challenge addressed in the blog is not in how to search/address(as said Elasticsearch handles it already), it is about how to distribute the load so calculation only happens on limited nodes, and reduce the index size so it can be more performant.
Tongren county? That is like out in the middle of nowhere (well, near fenghuang in hunan) and is only known as a tourist destination for seeing Miao (Hmong) villagers. Strange.

Backpackers should visit this place, it’s like yangshuo/Lijiang before they became saturated.
Funnily enough I came across the same thing today. I was browsing for a new switch game and came across http://www.fallenlegiongame.com/.

My first thought was that if you have to put a moving sign saying "scroll down ya dummy", then maybe you shouldn't be designing pages like this? But hey, at least they tell you to do it, unlike most others.
No we only know about it because Snowden blew up his life to reveal it. That should give you a hint about how this works. China is remarkably transparent about their efforts. The government literally holds classes to explain the social credit system. In the US these efforts are buried for years until somebody risks everything to expose them.

Why the condescending quotes? Are you somehow above a programming language?
Don't make it personal. This is a business transaction. So don't think or talk about it in terms of what you want or what you think you need or what you think is fair. That's going to lose the negotiation.

Find jobs that are similar to what you actually do (not necessarily the same title or description) and get salary information about them. Pick a number that's in the range of what you can find and go with that.

The conversation from there is simple: this is what I'm actually doing, and this is what the market pays for it. That number will either be in your boss's budget or it won't. If it is, the conversation shouldn't be difficult for either one of you. If it isn't, you can negotiate for things that might be available but not counted towards budget. Extra paid vacation, ability to expense some things, etc.

If it's just not in the budget, though, you've accomplished a couple of things by keeping it a business transaction. 1. You've put your boss on notice that you know what the market value is for your skills and you've done it without having to play any mind games or go get some other offer to try and negotiate that. And 2. You've just done some of your boss's job for him/her. You've just given data they can use at the next budget meeting so say, "Yeah, this position is getting x amount from everywhere else. We need to match." 3. You've proven that you have an adult understanding of how these things work, which will be very much appreciated.

If you let the conversation go personal based on what you feel like you want or need, this is a risky move, whether it's an initial salary negotiation or an incremental. If you say you need this or were hoping for that and the company can't match, you're a flight risk. You have very probably just priced yourself out of a job.

Keep it business, appeal to market data, and play your personal feeling close to your vest and you can negotiate for as much as you want without painting yourself into a corner.
I think people are less concerned about hardware specs and more concerned about cataloging of software installed, logging DNS traffic, and capturing PII.

Managed C++ and C++/CLI are not C++. They will not help you if you have an existing C++ codebase, or if you want to avoid GC.
> The design they chose was the most successful at achieving their goal (new user signup or something).

Sounds like they didn't define their goals well. I bet that would lead to a lot of people signing up just to learn more and then abandoning their accounts.

Personally, I provide fake info/email address to sign up on sites when it is required but never plan to return to the site. Do they get more signups this way? Yes, but it is probably a low quality user group and not likely to convert further.
>"The detection was triggered by software. You can't choose to ignore that."

In one detector, which (afaict from the sentence you think im cherry picking) is usually discarded or something, but these were exceptional circumstances...

Look maybe I'm just unclear on what happened here, but to me it sounds like they have humans in the loop making decisions and its not automated. If that is the case, its a recipe for disaster when it comes to comparing a signal to the background.

You are saying that you know there are no humans making decisions in the loop? Is that correct?

> “Because while it’s very easy to imagine noncommutative situations — putting on shoes then socks is different from socks then shoes — it’s very difficult to think of a nonassociative situation.” If, instead of putting on socks then shoes, you first put your socks into your shoes, technically you should still then be able to put your feet into both and get the same result. “The parentheses feel artificial.”

> The octonions’ seemingly unphysical nonassociativity has crippled many physicists’ efforts to exploit them.

I'd say nonassociativity is extremely physical property. And example with shoes and socks, if anything, shows just that. In idealised mathematical model, if you put socks inside shoes and then insert feet into socks you could end up with same thing as if you put feet in socks an then both in shoes. But in real world or just accurate model of physical world you'll end up with very different result.

I feel that nonassociativity is what's missing to take into account time which unidirrctuonality is suspiciously missing from almost all of the physics.
LinkedIn portability (NOT delete) is a useful use case to Microsoft because of Teams, VSTS, Outlook, etc.
You don't necessarily need to quantify the value for every item in this case, or in some cases for quantifying achievements I'd look for other measurements outside of a $ impact or estimate of time saved.

For example, for something like fixing bugs, if its difficult to peg it to a financial or resource benefit, measure how quickly you closed your issues, point out that all of your fixes had no further issues, etc.

If you delivered FeatureX but FeautureX received no traction, use this as a starting point to have a discussion about your expanded role in the company. Perhaps after you've received the promotion/raise you could take a more active role in the design/research phase, and have some ideas available offhand.
That and the wish for a stable society- not some aristocratic mess reminding of the late Roman empire, so ready for a final civil war as show down, that its rulers rather collapse the whole problem outwards.
This is bad advice that gets repeated a lot. Employers will work to retain good people and they know that good people understand how a labor market works.

Managers aren’t going through the hassle of making a case to raise/promote you only to dump you later. That would make them look pretty bad to their managers.
The editor based REPL is how the Clojure folks stay productive (as opposed to running tests at the command line). Using a keyboard shortcut to eval any expression in your code is really great.

Not per se because there's no active monitoring. But the value of most artifacts is in displaying them or selling them (even for the raw materials, like melted as gold/silver bars). So something with purely historical value is harder to hide. Which means sooner or later there's a good chance it can be traced back to you.

But yeah, if you plan on keeping them for your personal collection I guess nobody ever has to know. Except a few of your best friends or family who definitely won't tell a soul, ever :D.
I hadn't heard that term before, but yeah, something like that as well.
> 1) Threading. [...] I'm a bit sceptical whether there's a way to add this after CPU speculative attacks (Spectre, etc.) became known.

The plan is to rely on site isolation, where every origin runs in a separate process. Spectre only exposes memory in the same process so this should make it benign.

SharedArrayBuffer was disabled due to Spectre but Chrome plans to re-enable it soon: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=821270
He's probably using a GPS watch which is very convenient but error prone. They'll frequently get misreads (where they briefly think you are miles away from where you actually are) and accumulate small amounts of error over time (the granularity isn't great, so sometimes it will continue to increment distance even if you are standing still).

Really reliable GPS trackers are big and heavy, and for someone attempting speed records just not worth the weight. And even with reliable GPS tracker there will still be doubters who will claim the data was faked.
Excellent short story.

We each have to find our own personal meaning to life. For myself it's simply knowledge. And starting to colonize other planets, and more generally become a genuinely space faring civilization, is going to revolutionize our knowledge and understanding of this universe. To what end? Well, I'll tell you when we run out of things that we don't know. I expect, even if immortality should come to pass, this is a question I will not have to answer.
Language Oriented Modularity: From Theory to Practice
Because $20 million is about 0.05% of what Apollo cost.

The rocket equation still applies. You still need a huge booster, and prices haven't improved all that much.
Unless someone buys 100% fair-trade products, they are basically complicit in the exploitation. People most likely to purchase exploitative goods are those that are earning the least. Making these goods more expensive will just plunge people into poverty. This is why more people in 4-season climates freeze to death in the winter when the price of oil goes up.

We're all part of complex systems and collectively as buyers we act as a forcing function on prices that leads to these practices you disapprove of.
Usually an engineer in large company doesn’t need to prove their work had business impact, only that they did what was asked and did it well. But if you can identify the work that you’ve done that did have positive business impact, talk only about that.
I like using zip/map/reduce in my data munge phases as much as anybody and I think python can become a ball of mud too fast sometimes.

But your statement is just so out there to me:
> it largely resolves to "write it out yourself by hand"

me: Oh, I always felt the ecosystem was thorough between numpy, scipy, and bindings to most any database or C code like zookeeper, openCV, redis, etc. but I guess you needed something in a more specialized domain?

> Need to coalesce an Optional, or need a switch statement? Write out the conditional. Need zipWith, flatMap, or mapMaybe? Write out the list comprehension. Need a combinator, or something curried? Write it out.

...

I tried to be charitable, and maybe coming from a language with all of these things these are glaring omissions, but I had trouble no rolling my eyes.

Whatever itertools doesn't have can be done in 2-3 lines. A little repetitive? sure. But so onerous it factors into language decisions? bizarre.
Google Inbox basically does this automatically for me. It has learned which email addresses I correspond with for work and other important topics, which it pushes directly to my inbox. It also automatically bins other emails into categories such as forums, commercial promos, social (newsletters and what not), which arrive in a single bundle each morning or each Monday morning. These bundles can be opened to see individual emails or archived as a bundle with a single click.

Definitely feels like an opt-in experience to me, and far better than previous email solutions I used.

Try to value the results of your work, not the work itself.

1. If you fixed a bug, what problem did it solve? Was it costing the company money or time? Your customers? Be a partner to the business, not a code-monkey.

2. Fixing a line of code has no value (gasp!) in a vacuum. What happens if that microservice uptime alert doesn't go out? How did your work prevent THAT from happening?

3. You delivered exactly what you asked for. Full stop. You executed (well, presumably) and worked with the business to build to address an opportunity. Not all opportunities pan out but all opportunities go to waste if not acted upon.
How is your relationship / communication with your boss (assuming he has some input on the decision)?

Fair! Yeah, I had a kiosk software company that took it in the shorts, at least my attempts at making it work in the US. (Primary customers were real estate trusts like malls and airports and such.)

But yeah, I was back in dev land from the end of 08-onward and despite all the blood sloshing around the canyons of Wall St. the job market for dev bros in NY was booming.
I don't think you'll find more instances of overburdensome regulation than you'll find of too little regulation.
I am just a bit biased when it comes to my perception of most javascript developers. I should probably have left out the quotation marks. That would have made the comment more focused. However, with that being said, then the point is, that I find that there are significantly more developers who identify as being javascript experts than there are actual javascript experts, and that both groups contribute to the inertia.

Clojure startup time is only partly related to JVM startup time, which is ~60ms[1][2]. The reason Clojure startup is slow is because Clojure requires a very elaborate initialization. OTOH, the Erlang VM (BEAM) is much, much, much slower than the JVM (Hotspot, at least).

I wish there were more information on how data is accessed / stored. The site claims that the only thing that is stored is the email address of the user, the rest lives in gmail.

Is there an app that can read all the email and then store metadata back into each thread ? Can this app 'tee' my data somewhere else without me knowing?

I guess a lot of people are not excited to give anyone else access to their email.

Why would that have caused more technology development than Skylab, Mir, or ISS?
In the approach from the article it seems as you are picking a mathematical structure in the middle of nowhere with the universe faintly visible at the horizon and then you start wandering around hoping that you will stumble across a path leading to the horizon.

But there don't seem to be many reason to believe that such a path exists, there are countless mathematical objects you could pick as a starting point and almost none of them have a path leading to the universe at the horizon. And even even of those with path going roughly into the right direction many will take a turn before you arrive at your destination.

So it seems much more promising to me to start at the universe and the mathematical structures describing our observations in a straight forward way and then explore from there the surrounding mathematical structures to see if they are a better fit, suggest new ideas, or whatever.

All of these answers are right and wrong. It depends on the company and how things are structured. I manage about 90 people in an environment where the main lever for compensation upgrade is promotion. About 5-10% can get promoted in a given year. IMO, 30% deserve more. You may be a superstar, but go unrecognized (in dollar form) because I have a position in a different title series or tied to a project.

You need to have a clue about how decisions are made and where discretion lies. In some places, you’ll be assigned numerical ratings and HR pukes out a number. In other cases, a manager/director has discretion, in others you get a 2% raise for breathing for another year.

In all scenarios, you need to be able to confidently talk about the value you bring today and tomorrow. The hardest part is knowing who to tell the story too.
