I'd be very interested in knowing what you've written that you have to re-write _every_ release, especially since you can use the OpenResty API. You'd have to do it for every OpenResty release as well. Doesn't sound right to me!

However, I do say, whatever is easier for you go for it, at the end of the day, it's business value that matters the most! If the refactor increases your business value, do it! If not? Then... don't touch it!
Building Vue Components So Back-End Developers Won’t Hate You
It's funny to see the nostalgia for that when I know people of the time who went to great lengths to get rid of the clunky bit interface. My dad built a pdp-11/34 and replaced the bit interface with a numeric keypad and some 7 segment displays. You still had to enter bootstrap code but you at least didn't have to do it bitwise!

Later he built an 11/70 and replaced the whole front console with a bootstrap terminal (with custom CRT driver if I remember correctly—ie, not off the shelf). That one you just had to hit the "boot" key and it would load the bootstrap code and do everything for you.
“Silicon Valley is completely 100% liberal and that is a serious problem” is because most Liberal people genuinely believe they are the disruptive punk rockers who are fighting against the evil forces of darkness. In reality, being Liberal is highly homogenous and unoriginal.

Silicon Valley definitely isn't 100% liberal. Not even close. The SF Bay Area is overwhelmingly liberal, true, but most male techies self-identify as libertarians, to the extent they choose to engage in politics, making the SV portion of the Bay Area comparatively conservative.

Moreover, you seem to be conflating multiple types of liberals into a single identity. Just as there are neocons, MRAs, white supremacists, and evangelicals on the conservative side, their are different types of liberals. You have treehuggers, bleeding hearts, socialists, progressives, pragmatists, BFL (business friendly liberals aka blue dogs), reformed Republicans, etc. Many of these groups (like the MRAs, neocons, white supremacists, and evangelicals on the conservative side) identify themselves by what they are fighting against. But the majority identify themselves by what they are for.
In this case, yes. They develop and maintain some of the best deep learning tools out there and it's completely free and open source. They have also publish a ton of high quality research in the field of AI.

Facebook may have it's moral and ethical failings but that's a stupid reason to blindly attack everything they do; especially when, in instances like this, it is objectively a positive influence. They're promoting open source tools and open access research.
It's a good discovery tool. I actually searched for devs doing live coding in twitch few days back but barely found anyone.
We have our differences, but you’re totally correct here, and I’m not sure why you’re downvoted.

The “byte addressable” thing is exactly why C was created over B, even, right? That was one of the crucial features not supported.
They report the amount of deposits quarterly, ya goober:

> Customer deposits decreased slightly compared to Q1 to $942 million. This does not reflect the incremental deposits we received once we opened the Model 3 configurator for orders in early Q3 2018. Deposits impact the P&L only once the vehicle gets delivered to a customer.[1]

$.94 billion in deposits, where deposits are $1000 for a model 3, $20,000 for a Semi, and $250,000 for a roadster. It's also up by $90 million from two quarters before. No matter how you slice it they have a crazy number of deposits. Musk also does bring it up fairly often, certainly every earnings call that I remember.

SQL Server: Binary EXchange Language and Packet Sizes
> What that means is that most C operations can be easily translated into the machine code equivalents and that makes debugging of compiled code so much easier. A disassembly of many binaries will reveal their C roots by function calls being equivalent to jump statements, as an example. If you have the C source then you can usually figure out what's going on.

This is very much not true in my experience. Optimization (even just -O1, which is required to make C be more worth writing than Python for large-scale apps) will do things like reorder statements, inline functions, elide local variables, set up tail calls, etc. It is a specific skill requiring experience to be able to understand what's happening when stepping through a C function in a debugger, even with source at hand and debugging information included. If you haven't been frustrated at "Value has been optimized out" or breakpoints being mystically skipped, you haven't done enough debugging work to really acquire this skill, and saying that C maps to the machine is just theory.

There is value in a highly unoptimized language toolchain for debugging, sure. But honestly CPython is closer to that than any production C binary you're likely to see.
>You can't always do a large study, but when you're presented with one it doesn't help do give anecdotes in response.

No, but it's healthy to be skeptical of a study in face of contrary immediate experiences. After all it's a product of a flawed human process (and most are crap, even according to researchers themselves).
I know this seems petty, but I cannot see "Get Station" as the url. I continually read "gestation.com", which doesn't have quite the same connotation.
This latest batch of census numbers still hinges on the subset of structures considered to be rental housing or owner-occupied housing.

And I believe the census goes by what the property owner claims. “My 120-unit condo building with nobody living in it? Yeah, that’s not housing, Ms. census taker.” “Ok.”

And even that doesn’t include industrial, commercial, and office properties that should be converted to housing in response to fair market demand, artificially withheld to make them more liquid as stores of value. The town is full of these and few people notice because they’re not housing and they’re not for rent.
Possibly worth observing: they bring in a ton of gross cash, but their revenue is smaller than a lot of Internet operations because their out-lay is high: physical storage, transportation, etc. are all expenses that Internet companies with similar profits don't have to shoulder.

In 2016, they made a profit of $857 million on a revenue of $30.1 billion--- i.e. profit margin of 2%, compared to Alphabet's 9.7% or Facebook's 36%(!!!). It's the number that investors care about, because it tells them how likely they are to get money back out of a business when the invest money into it. It's also a number the company cares about, because it tells them how much of a shock to their fixed costs they could stomach without suddenly finding themselves spending more than they make to keep the doors open.

Amazon's (relatively) razor-thin margins are what make the company so paranoid about costs like wages and benefits; they've seen America's history of burning hulks of older companies wrecked by making pension promises when profits were high that they couldn't honor when profits tailed off.
Right, and the logical conclusion of this is to stop interacting with companies. Any companies. All companies. Always. Because they are all doing it to an offensive degree. GM want to know where your car has been, and what radio stations you listen to. Facebook want everything, Google have everything. The pretty light bulb you bought is both a privacy risk and an attack vector.

Phone apps want to know your location all the time, Google maps constantly nags you to enable constant location tracking. Every other app has dark patterns to accidentally get the land grab on every mis-click, like Facebook's "Accept", "not yet" and no is buried many clicks deep in a new set of check boxes in some 8th level settings page.

Presumably if I had made my career in a different field like medicine or plumbing you would expect me to "educate" myself enough about IT to understand the real implications too, and the ways the tables can be joined. The genius who tunes your classic car should be learning advanced Wireshark to understand the complete fucking liberties and data mugging the weather app his friend recommended is taking multiple times daily.

It doesn't occur to you that this is ever so slightly asymmetric? Each individual should "take steps" whilst single-handedly going up against the combined might of regulation-free corporate America, where we learn everything can be sold and probably already has been. So what steps if it's not "go live in a cave and buy nothing made since 1999"?

I searched "Exhibit B Damore lawsuit," and the first link is dead because it belonged to a subreddit that got banned.

Of course, I can guess by the subreddit title alone, "sjwhate", that reddit had sound reasons for the ban. Nevertheless, I'm ticked to see the thing I'm looking for get censored by the monoculture.

I quickly scrolled through the list of supported “apps”, and one of them is Reddit. Doesn’t that kind of go against the “don’t be distracted” idea of Station if something supported as a first class citizen is a distraction site?

Also is it possible to add custom sites to Station? Like if I have an internal tool at work, which can’t be supported by Station at large due to it being custom for my job. And does it support stuff only available on an internal work network? Eg: even if JIRA is supported, if my work has an on premises deployment of it I wouldn’t be able to use the JIRA app if I can’t point to that instance.

EDIT: otherwise I think the idea is interesting. Considering I basically put my life into workflowy, having a nice wrapper around it sounds pretty great. Among the other sites I use.
> Either we need an exponential improvement in human behavior — less selfishness, less short-termism, more collaboration, more generosity — or we need an exponential improvement in technology.

This isn't implying that he believes technology _will_ make it better. He's only saying that we have 3 choices: Better technology, better human behavior, or environmental catastrophe.

Whether or not the first is even possible is an open question.

> I think the point is that many people aren’t worth $15/hour.

Who cares? If markets are allowed to compete freely, unskilled labor rates trend towards zero. Most of the people currently working at $7.50 probably would be paid even less if the law didn't forbid it now.

We live in a capitalist society where people are expected to work for a living. Saying that someone doesn't deserve to be paid a living wage is the same as saying they don't deserve to live.

Thanks for all your hard work Jeremy. In Cleveland, we are running a study group with about 30 people on the 2018 version of the course. Because of logistics, we aren't planning on rescheduling to match the new course, but its still nice knowing that the library is being invested into.
Never thought about this, but this could be super useful. There should be something like Twitch except full of people actually doing useful stuff instead of just wasting all day every day on video games.
Fair enough, but Dollar General is doing just fine: https://qz.com/1120552/the-retail-apocalypse-isnt-just-amazo...

The small mom and pop stores have been closing at record paces due to things like Walmart and Amazon. A higher minimum wage might speed that up, but it just moves things faster in the direction they've been moving for decades already.

The thing that blows my mind is what the federal government (by the definition of the IRS) considers the poverty level is based on the cost of food plus inflation, while entirely negating the cost of living. Minimum wage is made based on the poverty level, but the poverty level is wildly inaccurate due to not taking into account housing.
I think that is a bit of an exaggeration. Housing, utilities, groceries, insurance, transportation, education; all major areas where Amazon has zero or negligible presence. eCommerce is not a major family budget item for most households.

I started off with C 15 years ago, but now I find myself migrated, by and large, to C++. Everything that's good about C exists in C++, and all of the missing components (string support, smart pointers, tuples, maps, STL data structures) make life much easier. On top of that, it's the exact same compiler for both C and C++ on most platforms.

Amortization helps; even if you offer unmetered bandwidth, relatively few people will max it out 24/7. So even if they offer unmetered 100Mbps or unmetered 1Gbps, their net bandwidth won't necessarily be customers * 1Gbps.
> Why are you comparing 12 weeks with the entire 2017 revenue?

They aren't. They're comparing to revenue per hour. It doesn't matter what period of time you calculate revenue per hour with, you always get the same number.
Because employers often have more power than employees in that negotiation. they'll pay as little as possible/legal, with working conditions skirting what's allowed by law.

On top of that, taxpayers will have to foot the bill by funding welfare to all these people whose labor is being exploited. Especially since they increasingly don't have the negotiating power of a union to make this idealistic vision you have of the job market fair to both sides.

Techies like to believe they're enlightened when they lean libertarian, when in reality all that amounts to is privatized gains, socialized losses.
so multiply the number by 4ish to get the whole year?

In any case, it's not clear that revenue hours is a meaningful comparison anyway because it ignores how much of their cost is labor vs anything else.
As Amazon is in the retail shipping business, essentially, their market is also seasonal and accustom to hiring and firing. It's seen as a bit more of a stain on a software company's reputation to have high turnover in software engineers; much less so in warehouse workers, where the whole infrastructure is designed to staff up for the December holiday rush and then let most of those people go.
haha indeed, that's actually an inside joke in the team :) It's a provisory domain name and we should have a shorter one soon.
> Are the cloud providers just not competing with each other on price?

You mean the big three. Other cloud providers are certainly competing: Digital Ocean is $0.01/GB, Oracle Cloud $0.0085/GB, OVH and Scaleway are unmetered.
I don’t know. I use both. I contribute to both.

If you’re interested in supervised neural networks, Keras, in my opinion, is the best option. You’d use CNTK, or more likely, TensorFlow for your Keras backend.

If you’re interested in unsupervised or semi-supervised neural networks, TensorFlow and PyTorch both work. However, they both have noteworthy issues.

Until eager execution was added to TensorFlow, TensorFlow models needed to be compiled. It was difficult to spice your network with dynamic behavior that couldn’t be easily constrained to a TensorFlow graph. Especially if you weren’t strong programming with common parallel primitives. Eager execution has made this easier, but it’s still more cumbersome than PyTorch’s execution methodology.

PyTorch sacrifices many of the benefits of compilation for usability and this is most obvious when deploying to, for example, the cloud or mobile devices. PyTorch, also, inexplicably, breaks many of the conventions present in the scientific Python ecosystem making it pretty cumbersome to integrate into existing workflows that rely on a package like scikit-image.

It’s complicated. In fact, I believe it’s way too complicated. Thankfully Keras solves most problems for most people in this area.
Ah, but what if you don't know the task is necessary? It might be necessary from the perspective of the greater organization, but not from your perspective. You might consider it wasteful B.S. But from another perspective it is useful. That's only one way I can think where a workplace might have a certain amount of bullshit, I'm sure there are others.

I would also like to distinguish between toxic and abusive behavior (which I don't think anyone should tolerate) and a certain amount of B.S. The latter can vary across a spectrum, but is tedious, or frustrating, or annoying, not psychologically harmful.
This is a huge generalization and a guess on what it means. If you are in tech, looking to live in the US from abroad, some really only consider moving to NYC or maybe SF, LA or DC. Then once in the US, you don't really ever get a feel for living anywhere else in America. Whereas US born citizens living in NY or SF probably grew up somewhere else, so they have more of a connection with the rest of America.
Thankfully everything that's bad about C++ is absent in C. My least favorite term in CS is "C/C++" because they are two totally different languages, suitable for for totally different problems, and C++ is a smear on C's otherwise good name.
A little secret, laptops and 2-1 convertibles are desktops as well, while being mobile.
But isn't using welfare to fill in the gaps the most efficient solution?

A well functioning market drives down the cost of goods and services to the minimum possible price, provided there's adequate competition. Commoditization is a good thing. The fact that bread and milk only cost a few dollars is net-good for society. Commoditization of labor should, thus, also be similarly good for society.

At the end of the day, we as a society (rightly) demand a minimum standard of living for everyone, and we collectively pay for that one way or the other. Either we pay taxes to fund a welfare state, or we pay inflated prices for goods and services to maintain wage floors. I'd argue that paying taxes for welfare is more progressive, as the burden falls on richer people. Paying inflated prices for goods and services is regressive as it's a burden that falls equally on the rich and the poor.

As long as we make sure that markets are competitive via regulation and that everything is commoditized, this sounds like a welfare problem and not a wage problem.
I'm curious what would make someone get into stuff like this anyway?

I think it would certainly be very interesting if more companies provided rationales behind some of their corporate policies. Perhaps this would create more of a discussion and better educate employees rather than just setting out the rules. Maybe go one step further and allow employees to request changes?

Yeah I opened the page kind of hoping for something GraphQL. Scraping libs are cool but I have absolutely no idea why this is at the top of Hacker News. It's not declarative, it's unnecessarily a language instead of just a library, the only thing it has that HN would love is that it's written in Go and it's kind of an esoteric niche. Is that really all it takes?

RISC-type architectures with a branch-and-link instruction (as opposed to a jsr- or call-type instruction) generally have a stack by convention only, because the CPU doesn't need one to operate. (For handling interrupts and exceptions there is usually some other mechanism for storing the old program counter.)
Nice to see some manual curation in this space. For some reason, I've found Twitch's categorization of this type of stream to be challenging to find (i.e. it's under creative, but hard to filter from the rest of that category unless people specifically tag it things like development or programming).
That seems like it would cause a lot of shifting content as the table gets repeatedly resized due to adding rows.

I don't think C/C++ teach you how the computer works, but they do teach you how memory works, something which is almost entirely abstracted away with most other languages.

You'll avoid some really bad decisions that you might otherwise blindly walk into without that knowledge even in higher-level languages.
Or, you use EKS, no k8s cluster management required either.
