For a project of mine I created an 'actions' table in my database. For every visit (only server-side data) I make an entry into that table. That way I keep track of key metrics that I am interested in (basically which page is loaded and where did the visit come from?). I also store the request id so that I can differentiate between different visits. Entries into this table are made in an new thread in order to prevent any issues or slow-downs on that end to influence load-times, etc too much. Works very well.

I obviously know nothing about this sort of engineering, because to me this looks like a teeny weeny bridge, taking ~50 cars a day - it breaking is barely more newsworthy to me than dropping my coffee. Is this a sort of "not just in Italy..." story?
The law only provides if the child answered and acknowledged they are a minor that Google has “actual knowledge” in law that does != google does not have actual knowledge if the minor lied or didn’t answer. It’s simply a matter of the burden of proof, but in either case I think the evidence will be there that Google knew or should have known the user was/is a minor.

COPPA also requires “verifiable” consent of the minor’s parents...is a check box really verifiable consent? How can Even Google claim they verified who checked the consent box?
As a European I don't understand this. Here, salad is merely consumed as an "oil delivery device", it's all about the dressing. So, accordingly, not one bit of salad should remain dry. Ranch is thick, therefore annoying to use on salad, because it doesn't drench the whole thing. Unless you shake the salad, you'll have plenty of dry leaves. ewwww.

Pretty good with fries though.

Why should advertising be considered the default or the correct method ? People still need jobs to feed themselves and their loved ones. It's about their survival and oppression and discrimination is still a thing.

Would there be a debate if ethnic was used instead of gender ?
Yep, we are in a sustained global economic and technological boom that's been going on for decades. If it bleeds it leads is true of almost all news media, it's up to you to find good sources of information. The business news is actually a great source to prioritize as making accurate bets about the world is the most important thing to its readership.
This is making me wonder: Thinking about Dan Luu's research on latency of modern systems (https://danluu.com/input-lag/), what is the minimum latency one could get in a modern system (e.g, USB keyboard, modern display hardware)?

Are the qualities you value in managers related to your experience of poor job satisfaction? Are you happier with managers that in hindsight aren't as good?
My problem sometimes is just getting started.

I have a simple little project I'd like to make to manage movie night with my friends. Right now we do it all over email and it's a confusing mess. Since I'm new to the world of web apps (and looking for an excuse to dive in), I needed to learn some background and now I'm firmly gripped by analysis paralysis. I've learned a bit of Go, of Ruby and Rails, Dart, Angular, and some others. I've read through most of the HTTP spec and I have Roy Fielding's paper where he defines REST in my Pocket account.

This morning I'm thinking I should check out Azure or maybe Google Cloud. But also I've done work in Java + Tomcat... maybe I should dust of my JDK?

I need somebody to say "here are the four things you need to make a one-page app that lets users express some preferences and constraints and a little engine in the background can tally the results".
No, I mean for productivity as well. 10 hour days (for many) aren't all that taxing.

> That said, the chances are that what will emerge from the dust will be something that looks like the same kernel community that has achieved so much in the last 27 years. Only hopefully it will be a bit friendlier, a bit more diverse, and much stronger. This could indeed be one of those inflection points mentioned by Torvalds in his announcement; the kernel has always emerged from those episodes stronger than ever. It is hard to see any reasons why this time should be different.

Is the message to take away here, not some alt-agenda anti-CoC message.

Just please, for one moment, consider that this isn’t the end of roman imperialism. Its just a general, welcome, already in progress, change towards more professional conduct.
Such a long comment about dealing with gender. It’s probably easier to just let a machine do the work and not deal with these issues.
> Everywhere you look can be a monitor.

But what's the advantage of that?

You still can only focus on one monitor/window? The only difference is that you switch focus/windows via head tilting instead of keyboard/mouse, so I don't really see what that buys you.
That being said, filing bug reports that end up being duplicates is not wasted time, because they aggregate information from duplicate reports into the main report tracking that issue.
On first glance it seems like they're building a sort of Godel sentence- a self-referential experiment that forces things to end up looking contradictory.
I read The Beach during a summer off from University after finding it on a relative's bookcase. I'd just seen the movie and I remember thinking how much better the book was than the movie (which I'd enjoyed, but that always seems the way). I spent the best part of a year backpacking about a year after that in the very early 00s - so still remembered the book well.

When I got to the Koh San Road (in particular) after about 6 months in Asia, I remember thinking how much it had changed from Richard's experiences in the book, and how much the other places I'd been to (Laos, Cambodia etc) probably felt more like the book.

I went to the Koh San Road a couple of years ago and really couldn't believe how much it had changed. The islands as well. In the early 00s, I was amazed at how connected Asia (Thailand in particular) was compared to the UK - I had a small web business, I could email pretty much every day (obviously phones weren't connected back then), there were Internet cafes _everywhere_. But now it was like a late 90s Ibiza - the chilled 'watch a pirated movie in the evening with a beer/smoothie' vibe had totally been replaced with music, booze and nitrous oxide balloons. 24 hour party.

I think even now the book would be a great read - particularly if you'd never holidayed in Asia. But times have changed, and Niven's comparisons at the end of the article are pretty apt. It'll be interesting to see how the further future looks back at stuff like this. Everything moves so quickly and periods like this are just so _fleeting_. Fitzgerald and Hemingway - it sort of seems like you can place them anywhere in a period of like a hundred years. But books like The Beach - you're thinking, "right, this is after Gameboy, but before mobile phones and Google..." Anyone younger than me read it and have thoughts? If you've been the Thailand or not?

I'm getting old. :-\

Well, after decades of things like redlining, I'm ok with the industry trying hard not to discriminate.
You'd at least want per record salts. But even then it's trivial to check if a given ip is in the dataset. Better, but not great. (ie: you have access to the dataset, you want to check if a given ip/time match the log - read the salt, check the hash).
Very cool! If I ever get around to my hobby-OS project, these would be great.
Getting a situation from 90% optimal to 91% is very difficult and produces an improvement few care about.

Getting a situation from 20% optimal to 50% is usually relatively easy; getting to 75% is a giant pain, and either result will get you hailed as a hero.

You also deal with the politics with the disengagement of an outsider, and you're gone before it can suck you in too deep.
I think the comment above yours may be misleading. Perhaps lawmakers are following a different set of metrics (contributions from private prison industry) when considering their rulemaking.
Those people are operating on a flawed understanding of the process though... it’s not futile.
In the future we will have even more abundant resources so I'm not sure they care that we like to invent good dipping sauces.
I think before they get big we needed a resolution update. Reading text is still difficult in VR and I can't see collaborative VR spaces getting big until texts start becoming more legible. Also I think we needed trackable office furniture and keyboards. Finding my keyboard blindly while in VR is a pain still. Once those issues are solved I think collaborative spaces will come. It's a good space for a startup to solve.

When we share personal observations, especially on a site like this, it's reasonable to expect that most people will interpret them as an invitation to treat them as insight into wider patterns. If your anecdata was of no wider application, and you only believe it be relevant to your specific circumstance, it begs the question why publish it at all?

In any case, no need to apologise - from your other comments I don't think we're on diametrically opposed sides in this particular political tussle. Go in peace.

> margins are better on "nice" things anyway

Not really. Nice construction is generally not valued highly. Builders construct to code because higher R-values, better house wrap, pressure treated cladding, etc. don’t really raise the sale price of the house. If you’re talking about multimillion dollar custom homes, sure, this stuff starts to matter, mostly because the people buying multimillion dollar custom homes will sue you for only building to code because they expect better.

Not OP, but suffering is a sliding scale (sidenote: some suffering is good, it teaches you how to be a better human; think public speaking). You shouldn't be abused or attacked when interacting in a public project, of course, but you also don't have a right to not be offended or having your feelings not hurt. My personal sentiment is that CoCs have been weaponized (in the name of inclusion and protection) when it suits certain supporters of said CoCs to eject members of a collaboration they take issue with.

TL;DR All things in moderation.

In the Ordinary Least Squares section, this sheet says the vector of residuals is equal to the sum of the squared elements of that vector.
While I agree, I was just shocked by the amount of legal stuff around realtors that basically keeps them from being able to be helpful. It has a huge effect on the perception of the profession because people are forbidden from really distinguishing themselves out of fear that a wrong word can get them sued (not just for equal housing but tons of other stuff).
It's the same effect though. Regardless of pathology.
I think passion matters. If you aren't going to be self-employed (most people), and you don't land some really great job (most people) then there will likely be a bunch of things that will suck about your job. If you have some intrinsic passion about the tasks, that will carry you through more

Though I'd say it might be a good idea to avoid making your favorite thing your job. Because all of that stuff could suck the fun out of your favorite thing, and then you've associated a lot of negative emotions to what used to be something that could get you out of bed in the morning
How did the attackers get the JS onto the cart page? That's the interesting part to me that the article leaves out. They managed to break into a PCI-compliant website that presumably has significant defenses and auditing in place.
Keep our ad-hominem attacks to yourself.
In theory you absolutely need both, and the library fixes the most pressing issue: that your site might be broken today, and more importantly will remain broken forever, unless the user chooses to upgrade, since Safari does not do automatic over-the-air updates (ala Chrome on desktop) but instead bundles it’s updates with OS versions on mobile, and updates that may or may not be set to automatic on macOS. As such, you should in theory now always have a bug-detect in your code (simple to write, make two identical 2-item arrays, reverse one, check for a difference), and apply the fix if needed.

Unfortunately, PCI does not put very many restrictions on the parent website. If credit card elements are in an iFrame, the parent site is excluded from most requirements because the iFrame is "secure."

I guess you're not paying Matomo and don't need to have another company controlling your data?
I think people trying to interpret quantum mechanics are mislead by saying that probability wave upon observation collapses to precise value that upon next measurement stays exactly the same. That's unrealistic because no measurement is of perfect precission. Next measurement will give slightly different value. So we really can't tell if we have one exact value or still a probability wave just reshaped to very narrow thing by interaction needed to do the measurement. We can make probability wave wider and fuzzier again just by scattering particle we measure of some other unmeasured particle.

That's how I understand quantum mechanics wave-particle duality. That there's no duality. There are just waves that interact and reshape each other through that interactions. And the only reason that we think of them sometimes as sort of little billiard balls is because annoyingly equations that govern evolution of narrow and sharp probability waves look (not accidentally) exactly the same as primary school level math that governs billard balls.
Most companies that think they need a team of data scientists just need a SELECT with a WHERE clause and maybe GROUP BY.

I agree that the other issues you described here make work on large long running projects harder. It is challenge and somethings fight for every inch. Which is why I am increasingly sick of people who can't do it kicking those who can and kicking tools that make it possible (I have better chance to figure out the system with oral history only you just described then in javascript or python. Not easy, but tools make it less hard.)

It certainly works best how you describe it for highly skilled positions in fields that the majority of HN works in. The examples in this article such as trucking are less skilled, lower pay positions in somewhat undesirable roles.

Information should never be criminalized. Bad behaviors like poaching endangered species, however, should.

As someone who has been looking for Data Scientist jobs in the past few months, I can reliably say that the term can mean everything from software engineer for big data systems, SQL guy or a person that builds complex machine learning models.

It is just as vague as the job profile of a "programmer". In that sense, the title is right. But, in the context of the article's content, I disagree.

The job done by a data scientist in demanding roles, requires a strong grasp on undergrad level statistics. But because of the recent trends towards ML, the person also needs to have a strong grasp of linear algebra, vectorization and software engineering / undergrad algorithms.

While it is unlikely that one data scientist may need to summon the whole skill set, an interviewee will never know which subset of these skills you will be asked to demonstrate to get hired.

Modern software jobs have figured out distinct subset of skills needed to differentiate between different software roles for experienced employees. Junior level employees are barely even expected to know anything other than algorithms, data structures and high level system design (at least during interviews)

Another funny observation (anecdotal) is there seem to be more openings for "senior data scientist" (who is expected to know everything), than "junior data scientists" whom the company is willing to mentor.

As of now, I find myself scrambling to decide which skills I need to prioritize, often feeling like I am being pulled in opposite directions. Almost of which require formal instruction (the maths), and can't be picked like software skills through youtube and online projects. This isn't a knock against software, just different type of subject matter.

Companies interviewing for these roles may ask everything from leetcode algorithms questions to statistics to questions about modern ML algorithms and domain specific models (in NLP, Vision, finance, recommenders)

I personally find a "junior" Data Scientist's role (in expectations) to be harder than that of a junior SDE. There is a reason many these jobs will put phD into preferred qualifications. It is ironic that there has been such a massive surge of people without the necessary background, who do a couple of MOOCs and crown themselves data scientists.
