Peloton is Hiring!

Peloton is a $4.1 billion dollar fitness technology company based in NYC. We are reinventing in-home fitness with a new take on blending together the best hardware, software, and instructional content through our Bike, Tread and Digital offerings.

Our SRE team is building a deployment platform that supports millions of at-home classes taken each month by our customers. We have numerous opportunities for automation and development, and value partnering with developers to help deliver value rather than just fighting fires. Instead, the SRE team's goal is to make sure that our developers can get their job done in the most frictionless way possible, so that new features and improvements can reach our user base faster (and bugs get squashed easier!).

Our infrastructure is in AWS where we leverage several AWS services. We manage our infrastructure with Terraform and Chef, and code primarily in Python. We’re spending time now working on scaling our CI/CD story, and investigating use of technologies like Kubernetes and Spinnaker for deployment. F

We are looking for engineers who are excited about working on infrastructure automation as well as working directly with developers to help make the Peloton platform awesome. We strive to have an open engineering culture that values execution and decisions based on technical merit.

haha, I have the same thoughts. I was thinking there should a simple way to do this.
Any resources you would recommend to learn more about the philosophy behind AI/ML?
Are bug sprays safe? Is deet different from ddt or are they similar molecules?

Great work by Microsoft and all the contributors.
They could also get some inspiration from Krita.

Just out of curiosity, what are some of the tasks that you run in vscode ?

I've never found a real use for them, so I want to know what other people use them for.
I suspect Americans travel approximately as many if not more floors in elevators than stairs, making a direct comparison more meaningful. Sure, you can slice it by trips or time, but stairs still kill a lot of people each year.

EX: NYC has 8.5 million people who probably average 50+ flights a day in elevators. People may travel up and down stairs more frequently, but few people are traveling anywhere near that far.
I'm sure there are people who are UI experts who would be willing to improve FLOSS UIs in their spare time.

The problem is that the current developer base of many FLOSS project don't understand that a) decent UI requires an expertise and b) knowing how their poor UIs are implemented doesn't count as expertise in UI development.

For example-- if I write to a FLOSS mailing list that the way they are using realloc leaves some stale pointers that can cause crashes, they very quickly fix the problem. But if a UI expert posts something about a similarly severe and easily fixed UI bug, they'll get at least 5 authoritative-sounding responses from people who know absolutely nothing about UI design.

Such a UI developer would definitely need a full-time salary to deal with that kind of social situation.

Especially for photographs that are mostly about getting an image rather than wringing the last piece of technical quality out of a scene, DSLRs have pretty much approached good enough. Sensitivity is still improving a bit, as is autofocus, but I'm at the point now where the gear I have is at the point where a new camera isn't going to really improve on my enjoyment, quality of photograph, etc.

There's still miniaturization going on. My Fujifilm X-E3 was a big improvement over the X-E1. But as long as I'm willing to lug a full-frame DSLR around, there isn't a lot I feel I'm lacking even though it's 4+ years old at this point.
I don't like single quotes and double quotes as delimiters, as the start character and end character are not distinguishable, and can't be matched or nested. But I do like the backtick ('`') as an escape character. In general, I like being able to type as much as possible without using the shift key.

> Boys of about 13 would be captured from areas to the north of the Persian empire, and trained to become an elite force for the personal use of the sultan or higher lords. The Arabic word Ghulam (boy) was sometimes employed for the bodyguards they would become. The boys would be sent by the caliph or sultan to enforce his rule as far afield as Spain (Venice and Genoa were major players in their transportation despite Papal interdictions) and sold to the commanders of the Islamic governments of the region. Under their new masters they were manumitted, converted to Islam, and underwent intensive military training.

Think about the mass human history involved in that: each Mamluk was either bought from a desperate family or (more likely) captured in raids in which many of his friends and relatives were no doubt slaughtered; he was carried thousands of miles from anywhere he knew or recognised; then he was 'freed,' with no choice but to fight on behalf of those who'd bought him. No doubt many of them were subject to torture and abuse.

It's very similar to the Janissaries, who were taken from Christian villages in the Balkans and Anatolia (modern-day Turkey), made to convert and then trained to serve as soldiers for the Ottomans.

The mind boggles at the centuries of boys taken from their families at forced to fight on behalf of their kidnappers.
Maybe that might change now that they bought github (heavy users of ruby) but I doubt it ;)
Related: recent studies have shown that there are people with "musical anhedonia", and that this condition may affect 3 to 5% of the world population [1]. These people "get" music, meaning that they can learn to sing or play an instrument, remember and recognize melodies etc., but they are completely unable to receive any pleasure from it. As someone who gets a significant amount of his daily joy from listening to music and who always believed in music to be a universal language, I find this astonishing.

Wouldn't this require the Ethereum community adopting a modification to allow paying for gas with ERC20 tokens, and thus purposefully making ether worthless?

If they were to do that, how would platform development be incentivized? Sounds pretty far fetched.
Ooohhh, this is something that I've been meaning to get back to...

There was an atrociously bad "undoing work" issue that I popped out of hiatus to fix, and that bug was the cost of the fix. I meant to add proper support for that, but me not using splits that much (especially for the same file) as well as other commitments have prevented that.
How do you have global tasks setup?
Robots usually consist of many complicated components. ROS provides a unique and consistent method for those components to communicate with each other via an API and a pub/sub method. That way each one of your components can handle it's own logic via whatever software it likes, just so long as you can connect to the ROS api and let the OS handle orchestrating each component. A bit like a conductor in an orchestra.
It's extremely noticeable in certain situations on MacOS.

Use a full screen terminal with a 12pt font on a 4K display. Split the tmux window into quarters and pull up some logs in each pane. Now use the mouse to click and drag on the center vertical border; quickly resize it from left to right. The border takes about half a second to catch up with the mouse cursor as tmux repeatedly reflows all the text on the screen.

People searching 'facebook.com' on google seems like a user education problem to me.

In fact, if I was Google (and I was less scrupulous), that's the kind of behavior I would encourage: train users to type destinations into Google, serve up the results using AMP, obfuscate the whole thing by eliminating URLs, then users will just stay in Google's ecosystem and never leave.
Just googling and that is exactly what some scientists are trying to do.
I disagree with your definition (I don't think it has to do with history, or with a subjectively-chosen list of characteristics). I guess my morality is different, i.e. we're taking sides.

But regardless, parent used "hate speech directed at an absolute monarchy" which doesn't fit into any of your categories and is clearly an oppressive abuse of the overall concept. Quite immoral, if you ask me.
Thank you for laying that out well. It's a shame the concept of time-to-replace can be overlooked.
What's mind blowing is the community support behind VSCode. If you report a bug, you get a reply in less than 24h, your bug gets tagged, assigned to someone and fixed ASAP. Then you get a new release every month with ton of bug fixes, improvements and new features.

Compare that to any other IDE or even any other open source projects.
Well, England is technically a monarchy...
We should research stabilizing our climate. Absolutely. But while we are at it, it would also be in our interest to make humans a multiplanet species, in order to protect us from a global extinction threat that isn't man made, as well. Super volcanoes, calderas (pretty much the same, I know), large meteor strikes.... none of these have anything to do with man made pollutants, and survival of the species is kind of a neat little concept, in my opinion =) Granted, we would probably become a new species in several thousand years, once we were off planet, due to the radiation and gravity differences, but hopefully the problem solving and intelligences would remain.

So who gets to decide which groups get protected and which are not protected? And doesn't that immediately demonstrate protected groups have more incidental political power than the groups who are not?

I don't know how you're measuring "half as good". But I have a high end Dyson. When I first got my Roomba, I cleaned my office floor with the Dyson as good as I could going over it several times. Then I set the Roomba loose on it to see if it pulled up any dirt. When it was finished the bin was completely full. I assume not all of it came from the edges of the carpet where the trim meets and that since it was moving much slower it actually pulled up dirt the Dyson had missed.

And don't misunderstand this at all, I absolutely love my Dyson.

BA's G-BOAD was painted on one side in Singapore Airlines livery, and jointly operated for three round trips to Singapore via Bahrain; I don't know if any Singapore Airlines crew were involved in the operation.

A more obvious example of another airline is the Dallas to Washington flights (and on to London and Paris), which were operated by Braniff airlines crews within the US (as they couldn't be operated by any non-US airline), and the aircraft changed to US registrations for each of the domestic legs.

My experience has been similar. Every real system I have worked on starts with ROS for fast prototyping, then slowly replaces each component with an in-house replacement due to recurring frustrations.
The concrete routine that is dispatched to is based on the type of the input number.

So `sqrt(2.0)` will, in the end, call the assembly-instruction (depending on your specific CPU) `vsqrtss` since the input type is a 64-bit float,
`sqrt(Float32(2.0))` will end up calling `vsqrtsd`, `sqrt(big"2.0")` will call the sqrt
from the arbitrary precision library (MPFR) since we now have a "BigFloat" number etc.

Directly from a Julia REPL session:

julia> sqrt(2.0)

I had similar question few days ago and posted this on HN https://www.quora.com/Why-does-music-make-you-want-to-move-d...

"It has been noted that rhythm is a built-in part of every human being so the urge to move is very natural and it comes from deep inside. There has been a lot of suggestions that this would develop during child’s growth in the uterus, since hearing is the sense that develops close to its final stage before birth. This way the child absorbs the sounds of environment along with mother’s steady heartbeat that could be seen as a steady pulse in music."
Read the thread from avar's comment down and maybe you'll understand. My point is that thinking that slaughtering whales is not OK but pigs is is an arbitrary value judgement. They are the same ethically in my view.

That's all. I made no judgement on killing animals.

The reasoning that breeding something for slaughter makes it more OK to kill it opens a path to arguing that breeding humans for slavery is different from enslaving "wild" humans. That's actually line a lot of slaveholders used. They argued that their slaves are too dumb to live on their own and have to be kept in slavery in order to survive.
So then the problem is that they're expected to go before congress and answer these kinds of questions and be all rah-rah Apple Pie?

I don't think this goal was clearly accomplished based on the analysis.

For one, it's unclear how many companies in their analysis are still "active" companies. For example, a company could still have an angel.co profile with posted jobs, but if the last company activity was ~1 year ago, their company status may not be up to date.

They also could/should have adjusted for paternal age, which may be a significant factor (see [1] for lots of links). (There is some interesting statistical stuff going on with paternal age -- some researchers claim if you bin by birth year some of the paternal effect disappears, which is odd! However, the article under discussion considers only children born between 1987 and 2005, so it's not a huge range of birth years...) They do have data on paternal age, but they don't include it in Table 1. Odd.

I have used the full-blown Visual Studio.NET for over 15 years now, and JetBrains has got my $150 for the latest ReSharper update every one of those years.

VS Code is still years of dev work behind the baseline VS.NET, and likely will remain that way indefinitely (so that people like me can continue paying for the Real Thing). JetBrains will be happy to fill in the gap to bring one up to speed with the other.

They'll do just fine.
> it felt like it wanted me to do things "its way", instead of letting me decide what I have found out works through years of experimentation.

Arguably that's not "your way" either but "vim's way", which you've adopted over those years of experimentation by force. Only now that there are alternative options which are equally as powerful is it apparent that there are other ways of doing those things.

Individually, maybe. But the organization having morals? It's hard to tell what that would even look like.
Robotic lawnmowers may be a good application to draw inspiration from. They need to be low cost and likely have similar safety requirements to meet in terms of avoiding collisions and going out of bounds.

That's the fiduciary duty of every CEO: Duties of care, loyalty and disclosure. The loyalty is the most important one because it involves having the best interest of the shareholders in mind. This very simplified means "increase value".

If this is done taking into account all available information, no info is ignored, no info is hidden, then there is nothing more to say. The CEO has done their job.

There is no mandate for a business to be ethical, moral unless this is considered to be in the best interest of the shareholders. Is FB value going up or down if FB decides to be moral and ethical towards the users? That answers the question "why are only some companies moral".

Apple for example decided to take the high road and be the champion of user privacy because they failed to compete with FB, Google, and the likes in the battle for users' data. So adopting a "moral/ethical" position opposing others was the way to bring value to the company.

Companies are not people. Decisions are driven by profit whether in the short or long term.

How's that? Inciting violence can be a crime, but it's not hate speech, it's a different crime.

Saying critical things about a political regime can be a crime, in an oppressive country, but again, it's not hate speech.

Wikipedia's working definition seems about right:

> Hate speech is speech that attacks a person or group on the basis of attributes such as race, religion, ethnic origin, national origin, sex, disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
