I agree, This seems like arbitrary opinion than an actual solution.

Private schools pioneer new learning techniques, they offer unique opportunities that the public schooling systems cannot offer. Example Montessori schools are mostly private and they can be extremely beneficial.

Yes private schools are expensive, but there are ways to fix the expensive part.

Suggesting that we should eliminate private schools because they are expensive and cater only to the rich is like suggesting that we should eliminate expensive cars because they cost too much.

We need schools which range the spectrum, We need public schools to be like a Prius for example, Efficient, affordable, reliable and checks all the basic requirements of a car. While there's always room for the ferrari or the Rolls Royce for people who can afford and want that experience.|

Also there's rarely, if ever, a single solution to a complex problem like schooling.
The best people I have worked with are "Foreigners". Good people just get here. It is just how it works.
Of the people I know who have or are finishing PhDs, about half are happy with the choice. The commonality seems to be that the happy ones really love their chosen field - they'd rather play and work on whatever topic than anything else. One is making absurd gobs of money, but she also really loves her niche.

Another, less universal aspect is that many folks I know who went for one have attenuated interest in typically 'normal' life-goals - one or more of things like marriage, kids, 2.4 picket fences, etc. are either not part of the plan or substantially less important to them than to other people. (Though this may be bias introduced by me, because I also fit that description, and family-less folks over a certain age tend to find each other.)
This used to drive me crazy when GraphQL was first announced without a working download, compared to OData and several usable implementations.

At the time there was also a compelling js library supporting OData.. [1].

> Client-side querying, caching, dynamic object graphs, change tracking and notification, model validation, batch save, offline support ...

Unfortunately I never had the opportunity to use it for a real project.

This is a tautology. The more you are paid, the more productive you are by definition.
You're making a lot of unwarranted negative assumptions and setting up a lot of strawmen here.
> If rich parents couldn't choose which type of school their kids end up with, would public school still suck?

though my parents aren't rich, i did attend a private school, so i am likely biased here. this strategy amounts to holding people's kids hostage until they do what you want, not sure i can get behind it.

random aside: one of the great pleasures of my high school experience was having the opportunity to take several years of ancient greek. i know of only a couple other private schools in my state that offered this at all, and i don't know of any public schools that do. obviously it is unfair that only a few students can have this, but it would make me very sad if no one could at all.
Yes, but the argument is that these untrained amateurs more often make grave errors from ignorance that make existing situations worse, or at best divert resources from more well-considered approaches.

Which produces net better global outcomes I couldn’t say, though I have my own intuitions.
Pick up Discrete Mathematics by Knuth, Foundations of Mathematics by Sibley, Modern Operating Systems by Tanenbaum, and Computer Organization and Design by Patterson and Hennessy.

You internalize those, combined with your experience, and you'll be better off than a lot of CS grads.
Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking everyone 1000 years from now, after we've decided how everyone should be will live in a 10x10x10 box with a screen that shows a beautiful mountain.
This may shock you, but some people prefer doing research to working a normal job and earning lots of money. Those are the types of people that should and will do PhDs (there are unfortunately a lot who think like you and still try and do a PhD for god knows what reason).
I run on the theory that if an alien civilization intended to destroy Earth, they would have succeeded. An alien civilization that reaches out once every few dozen million years years to sorta kinda whack the Earth seems about as likely as aliens hopping in their FTL spaceships and traveling the vast distances across the cosmos to our primitive little dirt ball, only to constantly crash into mountains located near secret military bases.
You make it sound like this is some elephant in the room across the industry. I'm curious if others here have found the same conclusions you have.
The denominator is not important at all, though there seems to be a convention of keeping the rhythm fraction around 1, so 6/8 instead of 6/4, but say, 5/4 instead of 5/8.

And 6/8 says nothing about the beat structure within the 6 beats. You're stating the most common occurrence, but that's not the definition of 6/8.
But is RCE worth 15 because he got 5? If he'd gotten 1, would you say he deserved 5? Or 3?
Burning Man, a utopia for guests, was hell for many workers
That's fascinating because in my talk with a patent lawyer, they have a very special set of rules for "perpetual motion machines" that make them quite easy to reject.
Meh. "Machine Learning" is (a branch of) "Artificial Intelligence". And all "Artificial Intelligence" is, is making computers do (mental) things that currently only humans can do well. Note that by this definition the goal-post is constantly moving and so we will never achieve "AI" until there is nothing humans can do better than computers.

And that's been the pattern since the term AI was invented. The field has achieved absolutely amazing, mind-blowing things... stuff that would have been science-fiction at Dartmouth in 1956. But as soon as it works, it's not AI anymore, and so we get this tired old refrain about how disappointing AI is.

As for the Turing Test... I obviously have mad respect for Alan Turing, but all that test is doing (at least the way its generally interpreted these days) is nudging people to learn how to make computers lie well. I personally don't see much value in researching how to make computers better liars.
Hi Tara, that's great. I have been working with Stripe for years and I love what you guys are doing. The integration to Stripe requires development, although I agree that the experience is painless initially. When the SaaS company grows and needs to update pricing models frequently, they need to build a dashboard on top of their Stripe integration so non-technical teams can update pricing without consuming development resources.

I spent the past two years building a product on top of Stripe. I've been wanting to show it a Stripe team member and if you are interested I would love to get your feedback on it. I was supposed to meet with Edwin Wee in SF back in July but never got to actually meet.

Here is my calendar link if you are interested to talk: https://calendly.com/servicebot/shar
Yes, deliberate abuse of the laws would be the main problem and nobody could be trusted to run such a lucrative fine program. It would just be another excuse to treat people like piggy banks and to rob them as often as possible.
I've seen it among many managers from several companies. After I got involved in the hiring process I saw why. Like unable to fizzbuzz more than half the time.
None of these are for remote jobs and just look like they are data farming
You may be a professional drummer, but you are of some sort of mindset that has you in denial of the concept of convention. You also certainly feel rhythm but do not intellectually understand it.

Rhythm is a cognitive/perceptual/psychological process whereby we relate events to one another. It is not mere timing. When you impose in your mind a structure on a timing by giving extra attention to certain events, then you are experiencing rhythm. taDA and TAda are different rhythms even if the timing is the same and the sounds even are the same but you treat them as having those accent patterns (either at-will or through other things that draw your attention such as a their timing in relation to a meter that has gotten set in your mind or even visual cues as to which should be accented).

The 3/4 vs 6/8 distinction is a historic convention, not something in the math. By convention, 6/8 is divided into 2 sets of 3. And yes, these get fuzzy in various real-world concepts like the whole idea of hemiola which is the overlaying of these two meters.
Hey, I just found the user again, check out https://www.reddit.com/user/ScottishTrader

He posts about Wheel Strategies a lot.
Traffic signals have hardware interlocks so that can never happen. I don't know if they are using mechanical relays or what, but you can't turn both sides green in software.
A lot of work into visualization and media on that page. Impressive.

But a minor nit... I wish the publisher had done a more apples-to-apples comparison between 6/8 and 6/4.

3/4 is universally accepted to be a Waltz by composers and performers.

However, there's not much consensus in the 6 and 7 beat signatures whether the notes should be quarter or eighth notes.
Not really. As an untrained amateur myself hoping to create great solutions. Thing is its the exception, not the rule.

Also with highly complex things (large scale - global problems) often it is possible for an untrained amateur to create a solution that is easy to communicate why it should be good, and it works in the short term. However awhile later, it is found that long term failure occurs
You're confusing cause and effect. If you have compound time with 2 significant beats, you should see 6/8. If you see 6/8, it does not imply there are 2 significant beats.

Let’s Rethink What a ‘Bike Lane’ Is
Depends on the area but yeah many intersections use sensors (cameras, sometimes under the road pressure sensors, etc) to make anywhere from subtle to extreme changes based on traffic patterns. The under the road pressure sensor has been around for decades.

When I was a kid there was one light that, when you drove over the pressure sensor, it wouldn't really do much. But if you backed up and drove over it again it must have registered an additional car coming through and the light would almost immediately go through its light cycle to change. It was really interesting to see!

Nowadays I think it's mostly cameras? We have a light near my home and the left signal will literally never trigger unless someone is in one of the left lanes.
The only code they executed was "sleep(100)" If they started dumping env variables/snooping around they would have done a lot more than $5000 worth of damage.
Since these are hyperparameters, some of which are annealed over the entire training period, and given the fact that the training required ungodly amounts of computing time, I think it is just impractical for them to have fully checked whether they were set optimally. They probably went with what seemed good, and trusted deep networks to pick up the slack. (this is total speculation on my part).

I do think if they'd used some more sophisticated RL algorithms, perhaps with intrinsic curiosity, or some kind
of hierarchical task learning, they might have been able to reduce their training time and maybe been able to tune their hyperparameters a bit more
Private schools also have the luxury of being able to reject expensive to teach students, and generally do.

Of four children in my household, one costs over twice what any other does to teach. Guess which one stayed in public school?
Or you could be the cellular telco/hacker who knows how to program/attack the baseband from the RF side.
Would you consider postgres "open core" as well?

Citus makes proprietary modules for it, and likely employs some postgres devs. I wouldn't consider postgres "open core" by any means. I would consider Citus "a proprietary extension".
There's lots you could do w/o abolishing private schools:

- Pay public school teachers more & hire more teachers (reduce class sizes)

- Free lunch for all kids in the public school system up until senior year of high school

- Widespread access to tutors for specialized tests

- More funding for extracurricular activities (academic and non-academic)

- Pay public school teachers more.

- Desegregation bussing
It's not an unreasonable opinion, but I doubt a PhD can make up for lack of real-world experience. Likely, the best way to get better at solving global problems is by doing just that for years, preferably alongside others with more experience.

IMO learn to swim in the pool.
Doubly right. Parents who read to children and nurture a love of learning are multitudes more effective than expecting the best teachers and tutors that money can buy to encourage kids of any socioeconomic status to care about their education.

I did exactly that and flying back from Germany to Usa, I was heavily questioned at the border as of “why is my phone empty”. It took 3 hours of details i dont want to get into. This is my last time flying with cellphone. Next time im just gonna buy one when i land and leave it with friends for my next european trip.
Looks like author is focusing on grad school as in PhD only. PhD highly depends on the field. For example in hardcore sciences, to accelerate career PhD is often helpful. However, in applied fields it depends on industry to industry.

I was doing my masters with focus on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). I was considering PhD but after talking with academic advisor, I realized having PhD will limit my options to either research labs or academia, for which jobs are few and far between. For industry jobs, I felt I didn't need PhD. Yes, you might be few steps below in the ladder but you can quickly catch-up as you climb.

So everyone should seriously consider where they want to end up. If research is something they fancy and their field has ample research opportunities or can be leg up in the industry with PhD then PhD is a great option given the opportunity costs.

Because of the 'network effect', networks are more powerful when they are larger.
You don’t need an OS for that.
I vaguely recall wanting relative imports back when I first started dabbling with Go. Then I moved on and really have completely forgotten it was an issue.

If you want to fork a project, I'm pretty sure there's a program (gorename maybe?) that rewrites these import paths for you, but I've always just used `sed`.

I haven't used Elm, but Node's `node_modules` folder has always been a hassle. Grepping for anything is a pain, and regularly the directory seemed to just get borked so you'd have to `rm -rf $(find . -name node_modules) && npm install`. I don't want to overstate this problem; Node wasn't what I had in mind when I was thinking of difficult project conventions.
We had such a tech lead. He had never designed a system until this one. He used the very latest techniques and technologies. He estimated the contract and recommended a fixed cost 5 month contract with 5 people. The project was terminated after 18 months with 10 people full time. All 27 developers from the company were fired and within a year the company went under.

Many peripherals with serial interfaces still use AT commands - Bluetooth <-> Serial adapters, the original ESP2866 firmwares where it was a Wifi-to-Serial adapter, most Serial <-> CANBus/OBD adapters like ELM327, basebands all spring to mind.
Isn't this assuming ending the class divide is something we should be aiming to achieve? Where is the case that the cost of doing this is less than the benefit?
Progress is much farther along than I expected. At the same time I wonder how well the bots adjust to the meta. Dota 2 changes every time a new patch rolls along. I also wonder if bots could make some of the more unconventional picks work. As an example, I love Medusa, and she's one of the least picked heroes in pro dota
While medical stuff is very exciting and is still basically in its infancy, I think there's a lot to be done for technology even in the "developed world."

Internet infrastructure generally limits upload rate for consumers in home internet and mobile internet is heavily capped. Both of these heavily limit one's ability to communicate. A recent popular example of the latter would be the issue where the firefighters in California had their data run out. SLAs or not it's a clear example of how our communications infrastructure is lacking.

Transportation infrastructure is has a lot of room to grow, only a few cities in the United States have functional subways, and many are researching new ways to easily move large numbers of people in a dense area.

These are tied together as well in that better internet will allow for more remote working so even in denser areas people may not need to all commute simultaneously.
In that screenshot, the gamma is also set wrong - it says “PC” instead of “Mac”.
I always wanted to get a PhD, but I don't have a BS.

Is there any way I can skip the BS?
I'm would call that 6/8, no question. It's slow enough that the accompaniment often subdivides into 16ths, giving the immediate impression of each measure divided into two 3/4 bars. But listen to underlying drum beat, and it clearly repeats every 6 beats, so I'm comfortable calling it 6/8.

I might almost call it 6/4, which wouldn't exactly be wrong (as long as you double all your note values when notating). But that's conventionally reserved for unusual beat groupings like 4/4 + 2/4.
I've wondered if working for 10 or so years and then getting a PhD could be a good strategy.

Yes, there are a few crackpot ideas for which there are special rules, including perpetual motion. But anything else is fair game, and there is a fairly foolproof process by which you can get a patent on anything. It goes more or less like this:

1. Draft the patent application. You don't even need to do any research. The PTO will do that for you.

2. Wait for the application to be rejected, which it almost certainly will be the first time around. But the rejection is required to contain specific reasons for the rejection, which will almost always be citations of prior patents that already cover what you have claimed (because there is no shortage of stupid patents). In effect, the PTO does your homework for you.

3. Tweak the application to get around the specific objections the PTO cited and re-submit.

4. Iterate if necessary. But I have never had to go more than one round, and I have eight patents.
spoiler alert, COBOL and Assembly are used for major financial systems that you use every day (no snark intended). I live in a city that headquarters one of the largest credit card processing companies around (they use Assembler), a large insurance company (they use COBOL), and a too-big-to-fail bank (they use COBOL).

The CS school within the state school in this city is sponsored by one of those companies, and they still teach (2018!) COBOL as a course req--obviously as a way to train up talent--but the fact that it's still taught today boggles the mind for me as a web developer learning something-newJS every week.
I suppose my best questions back to you might be:

1) What concrete guarantees do you think you get from a special RTOS?

2) Which of those guarantees are meaningful to the scenario?

3) How (by what mechanisms) do you think the special RTOS guarantees the things that it guarantees?

4) Which of those behaviors are something that only an RTOS can provide?
I love HN, but of course there’s a but...how narcissistic of most of you. It’s the annoying person at the bar, not listening, or contributing, just looking for an opportunity to say “Look at me! I’m awesome! Do this and you can be awesome too!” Jeez man. Y’all is vapid.

CLI: improved
The economic harm to society that comes from patents is more than enough to fund public research that could employ the same smart people to discover the same medicines.
What do you study and how does a citizen with practical experience in the field help? A lot of things I have read about software engineering isn't really well tested. How does your research stack up? Is that something people on HN could help improve on?
Reminds me of arguments against affirmative action, which I can relate to. Underprivileged Asian families in the US will save on everything, sometimes go as far as skipping meals, only to be able to afford tutoring for their kids so that they end up in a good school. If someone has sacrificed so much to get their kids there, should they be denied that right just based on their race?
> Meanwhile, it is all-but-certain that the overall findings were correct: people hit the wrong pedal regularly, and if enough press attention is given, all of those wrong-pedal-pushers find each other and try to blame the manufacturer instead.

At risk of beating a dead horse, I do find it interesting how despite the myriad of "driver hit the wrong pedal" news stories out there, only the Prius one starts from the "it had a mind of its own" angle.

I think what most people don't realise is that it's so incredibly easy to be fallible with "automatic" familiar everyday activities (i.e., not maths or remembering facts). I recall in driving school approaching a quiet intersection where I once lost proprioception of my foot and had to call the instructor to use her dual brake because I didn't know where my foot was or could no longer reach the brake pedal (I guess I'd have attempted the hand brake if I were alone).

From this single experience along with running other dark hypotheticals through my head, I am so cautious with many things that it bewilders me that activities such as "carpool karaoke" is not an atypical practice.

But otherwise yep, same thing with software only that the stakes are often lower thanks to the sheer number of non-mission critical projects out there. It's only the mission critical bugs that get the most attention and surprise.

This is something I can agree with. I worked with someone like OP describes but with the added side effect that he had management's ear by complaining about every developer without their knowledge. I left and have no regrets, but I agree that sometimes people could bring value by being involved in non-technical product decisions
Bill Gates did it, so I guess it's possible?
