The Complexologist: Tragedy and Telepathy
To me, Hadoop was primarily designed around large-scale semi-structured data like logs; this plays to its strengths of scale and schema-on-read.

If I'm not mistaken, Hadoop was created at Google to handle weblogs (side note: in 2014, Google announced that Hadoop was no longer being used internally)

Enterprise data however is primarily structured and relational, which is more suited to handling in a database-like system. Hadoop was never designed for this use case. Scalable cloud databases like Redshift, Aurora etc. always seemed to be a better fit. Cloudera created technology like Impala and Kudu to address this but not sure about the uptake there.

No thanks! That adds chatter to the open office.
I know plenty of people who rent out houses in other states. It’s not crazy at all. They have good property managers and good insurance.
I did the math on SV, New York and Toronto, and I'm not in any of them. Hooray!
I mostly work on a desktop, but when I travel, I love my T480. It's user upgradable so it'll last a while for me, and it has removable/replaceable batteries. On a full charge, it lasts like 30 hours when writing, programming, etc. Hardware support in Linux is great (with the exception of the fingerprint reader, which is in progress), and there's even an option for a pretty nice screen.
If you attach a Bluetooth keyboard and use a larger tablet what is the effective difference between that and a small laptop?
If you want to, yeah, pretty much every SQL database supports replication.

I left a job partly because I felt too dumb to understand the use cases for the product I was writing code for (extremely high-end Test & Measurement). It's very uncomfortable. Maybe not the same kind of "understanding", but this kind of thing can extend beyond morals, at least in my experience.
yeah it's still going to be a problem. fortunately I don't care all that much. my HR manager is here locally and there are other teams working on same project around me so I have a spot to jump to eventually. This team is way better than the local ones so I take what I can get :)
When you post something to the Internet, you should assume it is or eventually will be public. You’re sending it to a for-profit company, not privately to someone you know, and hoping they do the right thing with it forever. What are the chances? It doesn’t really matter whether you asked the company to pretty please make it private.

I think best case is there will be a generation whose only “online presence” are the stuff about them from ages 0-10 that their social media obsessed parents posted before the kid could acquire any agency in their own online life.

he has some things right, but not nearly enough.

is this the way you concede your opinion expressed above was wrong? because you just jumped from "financial system is not a risk, counterparty is a risk" to "but what about transparency and law enforcement"..
I'm glad it was. I hadn't heard of it before, and now I'm watching the introduction video to learn more. I'm not really familiar with IPFS, but what I do know is that it has had some consistent buzz for a while now.
In all likelihood, the authors are aware of this irony. Journals can be very rigid organizations.
Facebook had this a year ago as well. I quit and exported my data at the beginning of 2017. I actually only just looked at the export after reading this hn post. Up until now I just kept it zipped as a backup "just in case". Looking back at all the things I used to share and participate in on social media just reconfirms my decision to ditch it.
You created a throwaway account to post this? Lately the regulars have no courage.
I think the question was equivalent to "why use this over facebook videos on the phone or laptop" which you do already. How is it so much better than it requires the spend for this extra equipement. I'm also interesting to hear your take.
> what “meritocracy” used non-ironically denotes is very much something which humans fundamentally do not do

... when applied to a situation where people are ranked.

The meritocracy of open source wasn't about "who gets promoted", but about the merit of the code being contributed.

It's the code that was ranked, not its authors. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Internet,_nobody_knows_... and all that.
>He's getting 7 years and stiff fine.

If found guilty, they faces up to seven years and possibly a stiff fine, depending on how much was made. This may end with a deal made and the cop making a tidy profit.
It's Lagunitas. It's not fancy beer.
I believe your "question" is loaded, misleading and missing the point:

It's not the OSS folks complaining about a change in meaning, but those who wish to retire meritocracy because they're too inflexible to accept that other people make a word mean something else.
Modern training techniques focus heavily, almost pathologically, on maintaining Officer safety and controlling the situation. Training techniques, like the Tueller Drill reinforce the notion that everyone is a threat and should be treating accordingly.

There is very little training on de-escalation as it's incompatible with Officer safety and often requires an Officer to relinquish control of a situation. And unfortunately when dealing with people who have mental health issues, you're often not in control of the situation and neither are they.

If it is a US-based company, for US-based hires, your best option is to use a good PEO (note: all PEOs suck, but some suck less than others), which will have presence in all US states and thus be able to handle benefits, payroll, and local employment laws. For international staff, you need to hire a lawyer.
Ask HN: Do you use terminal based GUI applications?
I'm not referring to the typical CLI application that you call from the command prompt with some arguments and wait for the output. I'm referring to the kind of applications that draw an ascii-like user interface in the terminal. Examples include: vim, top, midnight commander or NetHack.

Is there any of these apps that you use frequently? Is there any particular thing that you like about these interfaces?
Just chiming in to say that I agree with what you said. I found the released libraries to be underwhelming to the point of almost uselessness based on the descriptions. I've written stuff like that for projects back when I was in school, and if I needed such tools, making my own would likely take about as much time as implementing someone else's.
It's more accurate than humans.

This law is socialist in the sense that having the corporate form in law is itself socialist, which is to say, not at all.

Like most bourgeois identity politics, it is an effort to defend capitalism by distracting from proletarian class interests by instead shifting power around within the bourgeoisie while encouraging the proletariat to see that as progress for the “disadvantaged” by way of identity groups that have little to do with where the structural disadvantages of the capitalist system actually fall.

I'm not sure how much of the outrage by defenders of “capitalism” is genuine ignorance, and how much is play-acting to help reinforce the charade.
That may be true, but the OP is talking about risk, so you need to compare those figures to the population breakdown. The risk experienced by a white person (representing 45% of those shot by police and 72% of the population) is significantly lower than that of a black person (22% of those shot by police, 12% of the population). Similar story for other minorities.

I think you may be missing the larger point here - there is a lack of friendly/decent/sane programming environments.

Not for beginners, for everyone. For beginners, it's only overwhelming and can be helped with someone who already knows it. For people who are solving real problems - the awful tooling programmers have to deal with everyday is a major pain point that hasn't been addressed in decades.
And these companies are also making it their job. I am not willing to abdicate their responsibility in the matter. They are the ones that chose, of their own free will, to push these appalling conditions onto people.
>Because you could be making $100k and banking $50k.

But is it really worth it if you have to live in an area you don't want to live, spend time commuting that you'd rather work on something else, etc. that could potentially affect one's stress/anxiety and even cause health issues? I'm aware that there are people with jobs making 6+ figures that are also very happy with their jobs, but I also don't think it's fair to frame his situation as a negative simply because he could be making more.
I'd say the XC mtbing is pretty limited. There's only one good trail system.
Money alone doesn't create more qualified engineering applicants. They may be able to use money to poach those resources but the candidate pool for this sort of work is extremely finite.

There are good meeting solutions that make meeting remotely a lot easier. I happen to work on Webex Teams (full disclosure) but we dogfood our solution and having video meetings call participants in when it starts makes us jump into the meet without the old "wait till quorum is here, can you hear me, etc". Best, that happens by just adding @spark or @webex in the location of the calendar tool (Mail.app, Outlook…).

If you're looking to get totally away from the big urban experience, look at any midwest USA town where a state university is the primary anchor. Politics will be liberal, if that's what you're lookging for. Cost of living generally low. Many more cultural and intellectual activities than other towns of similar size. Public schools will be good.
It is also possible for commoners to be ennobled if they show sufficient merit. It also doesn't take many generations of second and subsequent children under primogeniture to fall out of the nobility entirely.

Neither system necessitates the active oppression and exclusion of out groups.

The problem in both systems is that "merit" is defined by the few at the top, and is often either defined or executed in a way that favours individuals in a preferred class.

> Obviously we need some students to become programmers, and we should start them early, but do we need all students?

I've always viewed the current use of programmers to be temporary - in the future, most people will so a little programming, but much of their day will be in their specialty.

Because most everyone would benefit from some programming, but not enough to justify pairing them with one or neglecting their other duties entirely.

Today we are crippled by a lack of coders. Take most anyones jobs (who isnt a coder) and you are likely to find ways a program or two would help - but not enough to justify using one of the too-rare coders. Once they can code a bit themselves, they can quickly address that problem.

Most people interface with a computer during their jobs, even many physical-labor based tasks. It's a small step to ask them to code a bit.

The rest of us that code 100% will be making tools and analytics, not doing a job that could easily be replaced if enough people knew excel.

They are the same problem, and not a jump at all. You even used the phrase “court of law” yourself.

Financial security depends on the ability to show who bad actors are and undo their transactions. I don't see how this is possible without some sort of middleman involving civil government. Yes, the current banking system has flaws, but they are not technological flaws and cannot be solved by technological means.
I don't think bureaucracy is bad per se -- it's an inevitable development in large organizations. Or rather, not inevitable, but better than the alternatives. Bureaucracy, with its attendant paperwork, procedures, and audit trails, retards the growth of personal fiefdoms and makes individual parts of a larger organization behave more like each other. It also retards forward progress, but I think that's part of the cost of having a large organization. Big ships are slow to turn.
The prefix micro in Microservice is very misleading. It is a microservice in the context of a >1,000KLOC monolith. I do like N=5 guideline as a way to make you think twice before making too many little services.

They have published blog posts on google products before (just glancing at that page, you can see there is one about chromeos).

You can also see in the dom fuzzing blog post this page links to (https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2017/09/the-great-dom...), that they fuzzed chrome as well and found bugs.

But they really just don't publish that many blog posts in the relative scheme of things, relative to the number of issues they find/report.

They find and report (publicly) plenty of Google product issues.

So i'm not sure you can really draw anything just from the small sample of blog posts they do write.
> Asimov's dismissal of 'newspeak' as mostly just abbreviation completely overlooks the power of propaganda and fake news, or the Whorfian concept that underlies it.

But the strong Sapir-Whorf position of linguistic determinism in which the concept of newspeak is firmly grounded has generally been rejected and was never well supported; propaganda more generally is a different issue than newspeak specifically.
>I keep nearly all of my gross because of the standard deduction and the nature of cash tips.

Instead of the "nature of cash tips", it would be more accurate to state "the nature of people to evade taxes (or do other bad things as defined by society) when chances of being caught are sufficiently low".

Also why I always use credit card and tip with credit card.

If you believe this, you can measure it. Take a year and write down all the truly important things that you see on social media, then cross them out when you hear about them outside of social media.

This is super cool, great work! It's the second (mostly-)language-native implementation[1] outside of a browser that I'm aware of, both started this year despite the WebRTC spec being finalized about 5 years ago.

It's really important for libraries like this to exist so more people can build apps without binding to massive hard-to-compile browser codebases. Thank you for working on it!

Also kudos for going asyncio and Python 3 right from the gate.

Then I'm sure you wouldn't have a problem with whatever name they choose to call you based on your skin color etc., right? Because it's their lexicon, it's not for you to decide. Or maybe being able to say others must accept your choice of words is an assertion of privilege.
Naive question: what's cool about doing webrtc outside a browser?
If the responsible party is not American (or is American but has a vendetta against America too), then why not? After all, the allegations said that some very high profile American companies were compromised from the hack, so why not involve another one?

Besides, it's more shocking if the Chinese hacked an American manufacturer rather than a Chinese one (where they would't necessarily have to "hack" anything, just compel the manufacturer to do it)

I went to school at Michigan Tech. This is located in Houghton, which is Upper Peninsula of Michigan. If you like lots and lots of snow this place is pretty good.
Primarily rent/house will cost little.
It's a college town and has international students (mainly Chinese and Indians), the place is very quiet, there's one Walmart and chain of restaurants.
MTU has library where you can find lot of people. I haven't been to cafes around the place, so I can't say for certainty if it will meet the 'intellectual atmosphere' criteria.
This is interesting work, but the claims in section 5 need to be proved.
Temporary Wall Company in New York City
Hey, Jason's co-founder here.

In general I think this fear about candidates cheating is mostly over-blown: I don't think it happens anywhere close to the frequency that people worry about it.

My counterpoint is usually this: People can cheat on the technical phone screen now. The chances of someone being caught out for doing so are pretty low; "I had a cold" is almost certainly enough to ward off suspicion if you even remember their voice clearly enough to begin with. Further, a discussion about the take-home during the in-person interview (which we highly recommend) will pretty quickly suss out whether someone cheated.

There are solutions that purport to solve this cheating problem, but tbh they're really gross in my opinion (and of course, the really motivated cheaters will find a way around it). I refuse to ever install a rootkit on someone's computer in order to catch cheating. Better a thousand guilty people go free, etc. etc.
