"Conjoined Triangles of Success" and "ruinous empathy."

Pure genius.
With that extra detail, it appears you are seeking the sort of job I posted in the hiring thread:

You say that "nothing on my resume shows "security"" and that is fine... look, the job posting doesn't say it either. Certifications don't count for anything. Most of us here don't show up with "security" or certifications on a resume.

That said, the skill you list as "sysadmin/SRE/shitty dev" (for "SRE" being either "software release engineer" or "site reliability engineering") probably isn't going to cut it. Something more low-level is usually needed. You almost need to be good at assembly language.
I can't help but think it was a publicist or something and not them...
​Samsung SDS AI Wins StarCraft Competition
To clarify, the Lantham act covers trademarks and unfair competition, not copyright. That makes the title of this blogpost confusing, because it seems to be conflating the copyright and trademark arguments that were both rejected.
Plaintiff had bad copyright notice. If the copyright notice is changed to be specific about the data and not 'everything under the under sun' on this website. This would be like someone trying to copyright the word 'crayon' on his website. Crayon in most countries counties means 'writing device'. Since So you can copyright the word 'crayon' your website. But you could copyright 'Crayola Crayons' since that is specific.

In this case the copyright was 'This is our website. We don't have anything specific about our data.' So no specified claims to sales or specific claims to sales data puts everything in the public domain as long as the scraper uses the data for 'informational purposes' and does not make a copyright claim to the data itself.

FYI: a more specific definition for crayon is 'a writing device where the writing material wears off to leave a meaningful mark.' Examples are: crayons (duh), pencils, charcoal sticks, etc. Since pens and markers have ink or pigment reserves and do not wear down they are not considered crayons.

Sadly I'm talking about a city in the top 5 VC funded cities.
Yes! That scene was hilarious. I also like the scene when they're super excited that they hooked a lamp up to a port on the open internet and someone turned it on. Then someone asks, why spend the time to do this? And they respond, because we can. It reminded me of me and my friends in college, and the response we would get for some of the things we did.
He doesn't get enough credit. The fact that King of the Hill and Silicon Valley come from the same person is astounding and suggests a comic breadth that is hard to grasp.
As I recall, when Sun was all big on hot-desking at one point, you could reserve a space but I don't know if you reserved a specific location or just a desk generically. I suspect though that if had a program like this and were near capacity, you'd almost certainly want to reserve specific locations; otherwise people will end up wandering the office looking for a space.

However, TBH I don't find this an issue. I'm often at various company locations and I can always find a space to plop myself down and work on my laptop whether it's some sort of enclave or just the cafeteria.
... why nothing to you?
He then worked 15-hour days, seven days a week for seven years.

"I've never worked less than 65 hours a week," he says.

He's barely gotten outside of Vermont and Montreal because of the schedule. Now, fortunately, he gets a day off on the weekend. He's recently been to both Connecticut and Boston.

NOOOOPE.
That doesn't make sense. By "response" he probably meant response variables, as in the dependent variables. Features would be the independent variables (or "predictors" in some stats/biostats circles).
Flo-rida has just been smart about capitalizing on that easy valley money. I’ve been to several parties where he performs and gotten on stage with him during Dreamforce.
It only works for recent shows. Outside of the last decade or two, every sitcom had to have a laugh track, period.
Understand and accept your schedule. How much time can you realistically spend on such projects?

Then, schedule and budget that time. Maybe you have an hour on Monday evening. Plan to do something that you can accomplish in an hour. Might be two thirty-minute tasks, or half of a two-hour task.

I used to have lofty ambitions for spending time on side projects, but I came to realize that I must of necessity limit my expectations. Weekdays, I might only have an hour or two. Sometimes zero. Weekends, probably more time, but maybe not.

So I work on smaller projects, or on larger projects that I can divide into smaller chunks. I am working on evaluating my mentality at the beginning of my project time; some days I am just too tired, but instead of accepting this, I sit there and pretend to work for an hour or two. That's a waste. I'd rather read, or exercise, if I'm not in a good frame of mind to actually work.

It can be tough! And the work output might not be as high as you like. But you can still do great things.
Ask HN: Paying for big-ticket expenses by joining forces with people you trust
Hi all, I am working on an app called Prana that is based on the practice of informal lending popular in immigrant communities.

Say you need money for car repairs end of month. You can use Prana to start a savings group and invite family and friends to join.

At the start date, all members contribute to a communal pool that goes to one member, based on regularly scheduled “draw” dates. You can opt to get the first draw, which helps pay for your car repair.

After that, the money is distributed round robin to a different friend or family member every month, until everyone has received a lump sum.

Prana is a resource to help you cover large expenses that would otherwise require you to use a credit card or take out a loan.

What are your thoughts around the idea and how open are you with joining forces with trusted friends and family members to participate in this form of no interest loan?

This is a popular practice among immigrants, but I am curious to hear from those who've never heard of this financial tool.

Thanks!

What benefit does scraping your site give someone else? If someone posts your listings on their site, how do they connect would-be buyers with the sellers, anyway?
This email is pretty unhinged: https://coinjournal.net/craig-wright-threatens-to-crash-bitc...

Comparing him to Trump only speaks to the fact that Trump also has issues, not that Craig does not.

Moreover, the style of writing/behavior is polar opposite of Satoshi.
yep, you'll definitely have to work through issues around getting network access, meeting requirements for keeping data adequately secured in transit and at rest. some places might really not want to run external servers, and run the server(s) on their premises

The brain zaps are no joke. I was on the lowest dose of lexapro for a year.. as in my 'taper off' schedule was to just start alternating what days I took it and eventually spread it out because I couldn't even step down in dosage size I was on such a low dose.

Static electricity in the brain is a weird and painful experience. That said, it wouldn't stop me from going back on it if I had to.
Anecdotal FYI: missing one dose of mirtazapine feels exactly like a moderate hangover the next morning. I would vaguely hypothesize depression accrues in sleep, ethanol is indeed a CNS depressant with long-term effects and missing doses of medications causes much more harm than previously thought.

Also, I had some nasty vestibular dysfunction from withdrawing from vortioxetine... eyes randomly moving around quickly in all directions on their own, limbs twitching randomly, and any horizontal eye movement causing instantaneous nausea/vertigo.

And, I once titrated off mirtazapine and had some serious nausea... recommend ginger and weed.
Some do get by on very little sleep and claim to be able to functionally do so. However, there is a growing body of evidence to indicate that this has serious long term health effects and may contribute to dimentia later in life.
Indeed! In fact, the library author cites this as one of the "main advantages" of their library (under "Getting Started"):

> As you can see one of main advantages of using this library is ability to document every line of code without any hassle.

In other words, the 'x' flag. Though it turns out JavaScript doesn't provide the x flag, but it's the same thing as string concatenating a regex across different lines.

The fact that the author includes the warning "Never-ever add a semicolon if you want to continue expression" on a method chain shows the level of sophistication this library is intended for.
I love portraits like this, as the lifestyle is so far from anything I experience in my day to day.

Along these lines, although this seems very tame in comparison, I'm reminded of the "A Day in the Life" chapter from Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential (which I highly recommend):

"Thanks to my Bigfoot training I wake up automatically at five minutes before six. It's still dark, and I lie in bed in the pitch-black for a while, smoking, the day's specials and prep lists already coming together in my head. It's Friday, so the weekend orders will be coming in: twenty-five cases of mesclun, eighteen cases of GPOD 70-count potatoes, four whole forequarters of lamb, two cases of beef tenderloins, hundreds and hundreds of pounds of meat, bones, produce, seafood, dry goods and dairy. I know what's coming, and the general order in which it will probably arrive, so I'm thinking triage -sorting out in my head what gets done first, and by whom, and what gets left until later."

It's a shame that google, the internet's largest advertising company, has done so little to help this. Instead of addressing the problem the hard way by talking to advertisers and, you know, using people skills, they approach it through engineering ways that push the problem to someone else: AMP, Lighthouse, speed-based pagerank, etc. Google is perpetuating this problem by whining about it but not actually addressing it any meaningful way.
The reason you can't POST a transaction [1] is primarily that due to ~25 years of Web inertia that has hardwired people's brains into thinking that the request lifecycle is that a request comes in, you deal with it, you emit your response, and then you drop all state on the floor. For a good chunk of those 25 years nothing else was possible due to memory constraints, but today things are bit more fluid, yet the old ideas persist, often still unexamined [2].

I could build you a transactional API in Erlang, Haskell, or Go fairly easily, where it is easy and not necessarily unidiomatic to have a thread persist for a long period of time. It would do the obvious thing: You POST to get a transaction ID, the thread starts a DB transaction [3]. You do your various other POSTs, passing the transaction ID. When you're done, you POST to the transaction itself the commit request and get the response back. If you take too long, the coordinating thread will automatically roll back. It's not terribly different from other REST-based workflows that exist in the world; a REST interface [4] is not particularly required to not have workflows in it. There are various technical issues, some of which I footnoted even, but it's conceptually perfectly possible.

There isn't a representation of any sort of resource until a developer creates it. There's no particular reason why a transaction can't be such a resource, any more than any number of other very abstract resources that exist in the world.

[1]: Properly speaking, not a GET because it changes the state of the world.

[2]: Unexamined != wrong, by the way. Some of the old issues still obtain. Some, however, do not. Dropping all state is still often a great idea, but there's a lot of APIs and code bent around a repeated cycle of "drop all state -> immediately reconstruct it all in the next request" that wastes a lot of developer and computer time for something that is not always necessary anymore if you're not scaling to the moon. Scaling code is great, but don't pay the price for 10^8 when you're never going to pass 10^3.

[3]: Possibly it could build up a list of desired changes you want, or a number of other ways around holding open DB transactions for long periods of time, but let's go ahead and do it the hard way for demonstration purposes.

[4]: At least, the modern colloquial sense of the term. I'm not particularly concerned about the details of The Thesis, which I consider a nice piece of work, but not something particularly binding on the rest of world, and not necessarily that much more interesting than an extended blog post since I do not believe it to have been based on anything like extensive real world experience or anything else that would give it more heft than any other thesis.
I disagree with your premise. I believe there are advantages to having a body of knowledge built around consistent principles even if we don't believe that scientific methods yield unequivocally superior epistemological outcomes - in fact, even if we believe it yields inferior outcomes.

Scientism is certainly a problem, but the solution is not to jumble the methods of obtaining knowledge with science in an attempt to bleed some prestige from it. It should be to valorize those other methods separately, recognizing their particular advantages (and disadvantages) over science.

You always have to deal with timeouts and other network issues, regardless of protocol.

Rather than retry every second, you retry on timeout.
Pachyderm is hiring Go engineers after raising Series A
I’ve definitely worked with more APIs that I dread working with, but off the top of my head one of the most pleasant I’ve used has been Rollbar.

At my workplace we own/maintain/create a lot of custom small apps for various groups, as well as a fewer larger scale ones (and a few of those are pretty legacy). Prior to Rollbar, we just had random apps kinda using things like NewRelic, but most of the time if we needed to track an error, it meant diving into logs. But, getting everything on Rollbar was an absolute breeze, and the best part (and a sign of a good API/Service) is once the initial setup is done, that’s literally been it, no constant fussing with configs, service changes, it’s been set and forget.

The setup process is more-or-less:

1) Add the app from the web UI
2) Install the gem into the Rails app
3) Setup the token’s for prod/staging environments
4) If the app has a JS frontend, add the JS package
5) Setup the client token
6) Deploy

And after that all errors are being piped into the dashboard, and (almost) out of the box, I’ll be able to see the line it occurred at, the trace back, the IP it came from, the user it occurred with, number of occurrences, and receive notifications when a shitload of errors starts occurring, all from an easy to use dashboard. It’s even a bit better for frontend errors, because you can also see the series of clicks/events the user made leading up to the error.

And a few more clicks in the web UI, you can have it link the errors directly to your source control and issue tracker.

The “RQL” (SQL-like query language) feature initially didn’t seem that useful, but overtime it’s actually come in really handy being able to query the errors in a fairly powerful way.

The documentation is great, they provide official APIs/packages for almost all popular languages & frameworks (with the caveat being focused on web dev).

Definitely a service I’d recommend to any shop that doesn’t have a solid error tracking system in place. I can’t think of a single issue I’ve had with the service in the year+ we’ve been using it.

ExpressionEngine Is Now Free
I don't see any reason to conclude that the parent is the problem. But if lots of people just disappear for days to weeks for no reason (that you're aware of), that's a problem with co-workers and management, not remote work in general. Yes, remote work probably makes slacking easier, but it's the slacking that's the issue, not the remote work.

The word chicest doesn't seem right to me; I keep reading it as a typo for choicest or something like that. Should it maybe be chic-est? Most chic? I'd have avoided the problem by saying "The rebirth of a chic communist-era scooter". Maybe even "a chic Czech scooter".
I mean it can't be all that it takes - as a student you need a place to stay at anyway, and renting a place could be far cheaper than paying tuition.

He's got another one out now, "Lab Rats", on how open offices and other trends are making office work miserable. (Not sure there's much on how unpredictable scheduling of retail workers is making their lives even more miserable, but some of the motives of management are at least broadly similar...)
He also programmed for a time, so he had some background for Office Space and maybe Silicon Valley. But then he made KOTH so it’s not like he’s limited either.
Not a perfect rule... Kids In The Hall demonstrated for me, that in some cases, audience laughter adds an acutely essential ingredient to comedic performances.

The Kids In The Hall is a seminal example of sketch comedy, but as a broadcast show, the audio from the live audience had to be engineered into the sound channel of the program, since live performances have to mic the audience, to capture their laughs as part of the recording, and mix it properly, so that its volume pairs well with the broadcast performance, just like a sporting event.

The show really does hold up, years after the original recordings, still proving funny and awesome. But it turns out that the sounds of the audience change the whole dynamic of the humor. This is demonstrable if you stand it next to their movie, Brain Candy, which is also funny and watchable, but a different experience, without the noise of an audience.

You could argue that the performers have had their performances altered by the demands of improvisation and the give-and-take interaction that occurs with a live audience, but in retrospect, as a viewer watching the same show twenty years later, I don't really care about whether the audience effects are manufactured or not.

The truth is, the quality of the show has the sounds of the audience built into it as an integral quality, that boosts the entertainment value of the show.

The Kids In The Hall seem to have realized that the live improvisation really was a strong aspect of what made their show good, which is why they opted to engage in touring as a live show, instead of continuing as a broadcast series. I think if anyone were so inclined, though, the right kind of genius could be applied purely as post-production. It's just that the authenticity is preferred for obvious reasons, and ultimately, it's probably actually cheaper to just be talented.
If you ever find you've entered a cafe and need to sign a waiver because they're filming a reality show scene in there, I highly recommend staying to observe the process. It is hilarious the extent to which they fake the drama on these shows.

The scene was two women fighting over something. Between takes, the director and players were riffing and helping each other to develop their nasty insults and "bitchy" comments.
I hear a lot of complaining like this from Java devs. Oddly, they are often okay only knowing one language (Java). The exact words from a Java dev were, "well, when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail".
Without products to list eBay has no business. So, there's a strong incentive for companies who want to be in the space to acquire listings through a variety of means, including some means they ought not to.
Apologies for the confusion but I was talking about Samuelson's argument against the Kelly criterion.

If I was to make one gamble per day and wanted to maximise my profit after 50 years, I don't know if I'd use the Kelly criterion. I need to think about it.

Someone who's gone to the trouble of modifying their vehicle in that manner may be beyond the point of reasonable discussion. On the other hand, that's likely to be a pretty small proportion of people, overall.
Google is very much more than an aggregator. They've invented a proprietary standard (AMP) which they then strong-arm publishers to use, and is only beneficial to publishers when hosted on google's platform. They're forcing publishers to give up their content in order to play the game. I hope the US FTC+DOJ is paying attention.
You have a small cluster and you need cluster software for that. Look into Slurm (https://slurm.schedmd.com/) which is pretty standard in HPC world. It allows you to manage ressources (like your individual GPUs), schedule jobs, copy codes and data to the particular machine when the job starts, and much more. It is pretty customizable.

Having said that, of course a shared filesystem (NFS, better something like https://www.beegfs.io/ or https://ceph.com/ceph-storage/file-system/) together with a good network interconnect (Infiniband cards are expensive but worth their money if you transfer a lot of data) can save a lot of headache.
Marketing works, we've had 100+ years to tweak and it justify marketing's huge budgets. Tweaked ads work too.

Further more, why can't it be both, because of AND in spite of those ads? Successful propaganda often uses false images from another perspective to generate scorn, e.g. obviously idiotic comments from tumblr SJWs (r/tumblrinaction, for example) who are likely sockpuppets.

Regardless, marketing is about numbers on the whole, not whether Bob or Sheela specifically voted -- and on the whole it worked for Brexit.
