I'm not sure what government your experience is with, but my experience (mostly with governments within the United States) is that government workers also includes the lazy, the incompetent, but also the hard working who aren't given the resources they need, and also the hard working who have the resources they need and do good work.

For that matter, I think you can find people in all of those categories in any large organization.
I would really like to see more evidence about what effects income-share agreements have on higher education.
I totally love that feature, actually.

I'm toying currently with an app to do play by post d&d campaigns on Dat, I make one user create a Dat archive to hold game data, then each player has their own archive for their character, the game archive hold references to the public keys for each one, and then the application takes each character feed and merge them to present a seamless discussion.

This feels like contributing to the same document, and yet each user is in total control of their data (almost total control, because they cannot decide to erase it if other people are already seeding it). I also love the possibilities of scaling it implies : when each user hosts their own data, the number of users doesn't matter (provided they all interact in reasonably small groups, of course).

EDIT: oh btw, I can create archives on-the-fly because I'm using Beaker browser's api. I don't know if it's something possible with Dat by itself.

The good news is that because gender is a social construct, no one can challenge your assertion that you are in fact non-binary. Religion is the same. Verdict is still out on race however.

HN mods generally do a good job of banning/retitling tabloid click-bait titles like "X reasons to do Y", but this is definitely another form of title clickbait that needs to be added to that list.

I work in the tech healthcare industry. I wonder why they only went with (or focused on?) ML/NLP text analysis to analyze data. There is a wealth of discrete data available in EMRs (pharmacy, lab, eMAR, etc.). Yes, there is plenty of diagnosis text but that is almost always associated with ICD10 codes. The only area where I believe text analysis would be useful is documentation and microbiology data, and in many cases micro is discrete as well.
(It’s helpful for the first post to be a summary, right?)

“Instead of building your own ground station or entering in to a long-term contract, you can make use of AWS Ground Station on an as-needed, pay-as-you-go basis... You don’t need to build or maintain antennas, and can focus on your work or research.

“We’re starting out with a pair of ground stations today, and will have 12 in operation by mid-2019. ... [T]he raw analog data from the satellite is processed ... and routed to an EC2 instance that is responsible for doing the signal processing to turn it into a byte stream.”
I did this when I was studying for Italian GCSE as an adult. The last three assertions are all true:)
Useful maybe but expensive (at least in the older networks). Handset reported cell-tower signal strength information (what you need to triangulate) was only accessible to non-core parts of the network to reduce data load on regional links.

Typically you can find out which areas have spotty coverage by looking at the dropped call and load stats of base stations (which use directional antennas), looking at osm maps of roads and developments, collecting complaints, as well as occasionally calling out and taking field measurements.
Well that's my point, they seem to have a perception of the Rust community that is incorrect. It's not neccesarily a bad thing, just an observation.
Is that really xenophobia of just bias? If it were xenophobia, why would they hire foreigners in the first place?
I've heard English described as "fault tolerant". Sure it's hard to get completely correct, but people can still communicate usefully even while messing it up quite badly. Which helps makes it useful as a de facto standard.

Probably because even most native English speakers don't know how to get it completely correct either (I count myself in that group).

It is not allowed in China either if you are referring to the recent gene editing experiment. The researcher is widely denounced in China and will likely be in legal trouble.
China is officially communist, officially a republic. Actually neither.

As far as atheism goes, the government propaganda under Xi has been including a lot of Taoist imagery and references lately, from what I understand.

What I'm saying is that they're people and demonization serves nobody. I'm also saying that the demonization I've seen lately from the tech industry correlates negatively with actual knowledge of the country.
I've taught quite a bit as an adjunct: https://jakeseliger.com/2016/02/25/universities-treat-adjunc... and also like the idea of taking on higher ed; one school had a sticker price of $25K/year for tuition and paid adjuncts $3.4K/class. Even accounting for discounts against the sticker price, the situation just doesn't add up.

Accreditation is an underrated, little-understood barrier to entry in the higher ed industry.
Space in itself has no temperature. It does have some background radiation, and thus you can measure its temperature (pretty cold at something slightly over absolute zero).

Here's the thing though. There's very little matter even in low earth orbit, so you can't use matter to transfer heat, as you would do on Earth (conduction and convection are out). That leaves only radiation, which requires a pretty large surface area. Try placing a computer on vacuum even on Earth and report back how the temperature looks like.

So no. Getting rid of heat is a big issue over there. Even in the shade.
As a career I am hesitant. Given my experience and dealing with former colleagues prejudices over simple misunderstandings.

A lot is assumed when you are black. Here are some things that I have experienced:

- Think you are not qualified to do the job.
- Think you are filling a quota.
- Think you do not have a technical background.
- Whenever there is a disagreement: I was seen as being aggressive, impatient, or loud (Echoes the authors sentiment).

You are locked in a state of always having to prove yourself. Honestly I don't want my son to go through something like that let alone someone else.

I once interviewed for a job at a local company where the hiring recruiter asked me if I was a citizen because he said I sounded foreign (What does that even mean?). I told him no that I am a local and never heard from him again. This has happened to me a few times.
My wishlist for DynamoDB is now down to:

* Fast one-time data import without permanently creating a lot of shards (important if you are restoring from a backup)

* Better visibility into what causes throttling (e.g. was it a hot shard? Was it a brief but large burst of traffic?)

* Lower p99.9 latency. It occasionally has huge latency spikes.

* Indexes of more than 2 columns

* A solution for streaming out updates that is better than dynamodb streams
Yeah, last I checked Bitfinex made it incredibly slow and difficult to convert Tether to USD. Like in theory you could do this conversion, but in practice ... not so much. Obviously there was heavy speculation that Tether was a scam. Is this still the case with Tether’s service? Or are they actually allowing easy, practical, quick conversions for whoever wants them?
Prison knife/shank fights/assassinations would probably be more relevant for "self defense" than any kind of regulated TV spectacle?
Facebook has a white people problem too. Among US employees white people are grossly underrepresented at only 47.6%[1] while they are 72.4% of the population according to the latest census[2]. If these numbers were for any other race it would be front page news.

Why are you asking me? What about my comment, or its grand-parent comment makes you ask me that?
Even if police get extra training on deescalation, they have no incentive to apply it as there are virtually no repercussions for using force to resolve every situation. You can be arrested for no other crime than resisting arrest, police have almost godlike powers in the states and are actively protected by those meant to regulate them such as their fellow officers, prosecutors, courts and leadership. If they are caught egregiously violating civil rights, the taxpayers have to pay a fine for the officers who then return to work none the worse. Legally police officers don't even have to know the laws they are enforcing with courts having ruled that if an officer arrests you for something even if you weren't breaking the law their wrong assumption of the law trumps your 4th amendment rights.

A police officer can shoot an unarmed innocent civilian in a swoop and swat and receive zero repercussions essentially turning swat teams into assassination teams on call. In my personal opinion, every accusation of police misconduct should be fully investigated by the FBI and if laws are found to have been broken then federal charges are brought and if found guilty, the officers right to be a police officer is permanently removed in much the same way people with felony's are not allowed to serve in the FBI or own a weapon. If an officer kills someone who was "reaching for their waistband" and that person is found to not have been armed, instant manslaughter charges. If officers are found to have known about a violation and protected their fellow officer even if just through their silence, they should be charged with obstruction of justice or a similar crime. Until police officers are held at the very least to the standards of their fellow citizens, things will never improve.

I have seen officers off duty that are wasted pile into civilian cars and speed off then throw zoom past on duty officers who laugh and let them continue on their way. Luckily no one was killed. All of those officers should have had their badges trashed, especially those on active duty.

I respect the police, they have to deal with the worst humanity has to offer and they charge into places everyone else is running from. Many of them are good people. They cannot be given carte blanche to rough people up, or kill them. They also cannot be allowed to essentially run state sanctioned gangs.
Everything is not black and white. There is a spectrum and let us not pretend that China is close to most democratic countries on this scale.
It will outperform them (although not by much in the case of Go and C#), and it's also a pleasant language to use. It has a number of features like traits and enums which make it possible to expresa business logic in a way that can feel more natural than OOP classes.

It's also fantastic for reliability. In the same way that Java and C# represent a step up from python/php/js in compiler driven correctness, Rust represents another jump of similar magnitude.
How do you have time in your day for this? I'd really like to see your hour by hour to see if I can make more time in my own day.

I wake up for work before the sun rises, and by the time I get back home this time of year, its been set for about 2 hours. Work in preparing dinner, errands or chores, and trying to get in 8 hours of sleep, I'm left with maybe 2-3 hours where I don't have to be doing something or going somewhere in a given weekday. Sure, I could have a side project or a hobby in that time, but then my day would be entirely occupied without any flexibility for if something comes up.

All through college I told myself 6 hours of sleep was fine, that I could catch up on the weekends, but now my sleep schedule seems to be wrecked so 8 hours is nonnegotiable until I stop feeling so exhausted all day.
This is cool, it lifts the burden of having to bake "atomicity" into your app if you're using a key/value store like DynamoDB. I can see a nice balance of combining this with some built in error checking in the app itself.
Daily enduring something like that from people you work with has to be depressing. Poor guy.

If this document tries to extract "modern policing practices" from American policing practices, I doubt there is anything to learn.
Interesting. My creative outlet is music, as it has been for 20 years, and I can tell you that your timetable holds true there as well. I’ve written a boatload of material but released very little (at least as a solo artist) because I never felt that a song was complete unless it felt utterly orgasmic to listen to. It took me a very long time to come to grips with the fact that even my idols have very few of these “perfect” songs. They probably felt like me quite often, but the difference is that they released anyway. So now, at that 80% point, I release the song. The ones that are special and can go to 100% become obvious as the song progresses, but they are rare.

The point is that it’s better to share a lot of imperfect creative works than to never release anything because it’s imperfect.

If you look at the code, they seem to follow a similar convention. But the computed GOTO described above is using a set of labels employed for what looks like an inner state machine, related to a previous inner state machine (thus the offset by 20). It seems perfectly reasonable (preferable, even) to use an entirely different domain of numeric labels, distinguished by length, for those parts of the code.

We're not as cheap as online Udemy courses due to high touch instruction at a physical campus. Though we are substantially undercutting traditional bachelor's degrees on cost.

Students will on average pay ~$100k for their degree, but because they enter the workforce 2 years sooner they also have $200k more earnings than their peers (pre-tax/tuition). From a net-worth standpoint, this ends up being comparable to getting a full ride at a 4 year institution.

That seemed... pretty unconvincing. It seemed to boil down to "Restricting people by national borders is immoral, therefore there's no moral defense for it, therefore it's immoral".

Yes, it tried to do a bit better than tat. It tried to make a case that restricting people is immoral. But if you didn't already assume that it was, the argument was... rather unconvincing.

It also assumes that no moral case can be made for borders, instead of actually taking such an argument seriously and addressing it.

Presumeably the number of open issues should be proportional, no? A high star/open-issue ratio suggests people like the library and are not having problems with it. (And if they do have problems those problems are addressed -- i.e. issues are getting closed.)

It's strategic, it's rational, and still it's disappointing. He was renown for pressing forward against the odds and clinching unexpected victories. Mathias Feist on Carlsen:

"There is an equal position on the board, and the opponent thinks: this is dead drawn. I can play almost anything and there is nothing he can do. But Magnus plays on, seeking complications, setting up threats. He is narrowing the margin required to hold the draw. Soon his opponent is thinking: why is he still playing – I can hold a draw with any of these three moves. Then: I can hold with this move and with this move. And then: I still have one clear way to hold a draw. And under the strain of constantly having to solve deep and complex problems, more often than not the opponent will crack. Magnus wins not because it was in the position, he wins because he is Magnus."
So there is malware on the app that can’t be detected but they know it’s there?

What is this malware able to do? Intercept network traffic? Read other apps data? Surreptitiously record your screen? Turn on your camera? Turn on your Mic? Get to the Secure Enclave?

And then he said.

“Sounds reasonable, but how are you going to determine that when there’s no way to examine the app on the device? Forensic extraction of the app and analysis on a different platform is never going to be a mainstream solution for that.”

Like there ever is a “mainstream solution” to doing forensics.

And guess what? He works for malwarebytes. Anti virus companies have been trying to sell bogus “virus protection” for iOS for a decade.
Don't forget the new coins being mined which have to be immediately sold to pay the $2.7 billion dollar operating cost [0] to secure the network. It should come as no surprise that the price of bitcoin has fallen so much and peak mining capacity has fallen by 30% when you have $2.7 billion dollars worth of newly generated bitcoin supply being sold each year.

I got excited and almost learned Spanish, Japanese, German, then I realized I was simply addicted [1]. The good part is that at least it gave me the confidence to speak to people in different languages thinking I made sense, even though I didn't. The confidence to make mistake is how you end up learning anyway.

Indeed it is surely not true that they have camps where they do large scale genetic experimentations on babies... But from what we know they still at least did one such experiment. And this is completely insane and past any most basic ethics to do a non-consenting human experiment that moreover does not even aim to cure him but tries to find out how to build a stronger race.
Looks like good diagnostic criteria to me. If you are only y out of x, maybe you aren't a senior after all, or like you said, a bad senior, someone who's spent 10 years not growing and acquiring necessary skills to support your team and company. What would be the other definition then? Would you consider someone who doesn't have any of the listed abilities a senior?

Right, YouTube buys and sells human attention. I imagine they did a cost/benefit analysis and feel like this change is a net positive for that business.

If users were paying for video hosting with specific features, then legacy support would likely be a higher priority. Different customer, different concerns.
It’s true. Also note that you get a physical core for each vCPU with t2.

I’ve benchmarked c5 and t3 against t2 and have found single thread perf to be better on c5 compared to t2. When loading all vCPUs the performance suffered on the newer instances (each HT performed worse than a single t2), so you would get more bang for your buck on t2. YMMV of course.
In 2007 the world rural population dropped below 50%. That leaves most people today living in a city. Cities are dominated by multi-unit dwellings.
Do you cook for yourself? Cooking is one of my biggest time sinks. It takes me like 45 minutes to whip up some eggs and pack a lunch for the morning. Dinner is around double that between cooking the dish, eating it, and cleaning.

What is your commute like? I can bike to work in 15 mins but now its too cold and icy for that, and it takes 45 minutes to drive through rush hour and park (and I'm bent over with the parking pass situation near work). Lately, I've been using the bus, which is hundreds of dollars cheaper than maintaining the parking pass, but no faster. Somehow, I live only 1.5 miles away.
Right, I can pay someone else with a macbook...
Indeed over time a project will accumulate more stars and issues. It's the ratio that's important. You can think of them as something like upvotes vs downvotes. Except the downvotes are much more meaningful because it takes a drastically greater effort to open a ticket than to star a project.

Same. Spent a lot of time on Duolingo trying to learn French, couldn't understand anything a French waitress asked me. Surprisingly, I can now understand a lot of written French, but maybe that's normal for English+Spanish speakers?

I recently found Anki (https://apps.ankiweb.net/), a free cross-platform app for index card-style learning. Their shared decks seem useful, and I like that you can customize exactly how you practice, though of course its effectiveness in "conversational" practice is obviously limited.

Love it... "sign up driving development". Pretty funny.
the problem (as I said in my other comment) is that "development" is incredibly vague, software development or product development are hugely different fields, almost always those roles won't be covered by the same person, unless we're talking about a very small startup. In the article the author makes several statements that apply e.g. to SW dev but not product dev or vice-versa. I find the article confusing for this reason.
