- Spend 5 extra minutes when the details matter, to focus on the details.

- Beliefs are not binary; treat them like probabilities more than certainties. "Think in bets", like Annie Duke's recent book on the subject.

- Your beliefs, opinions, work - all of it is not connected to your identity or self worth. The more you can disconnect from it (non-attachment), the less ego-driven your work will be, the more likely you are to seek truth.

- Knowing about blind spots doesn't make you immune to them. Balance yourself with other opinions, and seek out people who respectfully disagree with you.

- Remember that the world is bigger than this piece of code, this job, this decade of your life, your entire life, all of your friends and family's lives, all of humanity. And the universe is bigger than the world. Take things in stride, less seriously; this reminds us to be delighted in our work, not stressed about it. Even when we fail, if we can see the expiration date clearly, we realize it doesn't matter enough to waste our little bit of time worrying about it.

- Your feelings about reality often distort your experience of reality. This is how depression and anxiety (loosely) work. We feel something, physically, that changes what our brain sees as truth. Remind yourself of this when you are catastrophizing, as well as when you feel on top of the world.
Cisco has the Webex Board (formerly SparkBoard). It has an array of 12 microphones on top and does audio processing to pick out who's talking, cancel the noise, and since it has an idea of where the participant is, the video part zooms into the speaker during a call.

I've been away from work for a long time (maternity break), but I think I'm now ready to get back to work. I have 2 years of manual tester experience. Shoot me an email if would like to learn more about me and would like to give me an opportunity (I'm on H4-EAD).
This is more like papering over the cracks.

Let me tell you a story; I rarely spend time with my uncle nowadays (We are far far away from each other unfortunately). In one of those rare occasions, we sat down and had lunch. It was a delicious food with nice conversation, then his mobile phone rang. He pressed NO. I told him he can talk. He turned me and said "No, I am eating and speding time with you now." This really blew my mind. He really had his priorities and applied them accordingly. He than later on called the guy and said that he was having lunch and meeting me, thus could not talk.

If you dedicate your time to a thing, try to enjoy that time. If you find yourself distracted then it is not the phone that is the problem. Let it distract you.(for real) because it is probably not more important than the notification you got.

You're hitting the wall soon and I see a lot of cats in your future hon. You've probably been riding the c@ck carousel in your twenties and you just woke up from your tinder marathon. you never that carreer you read about in feminist magazines. It's too late. Remember that nice guy you kept ignoring favoring the chads for a quick night stand ? You could be a happy mother right now, have that nice house in the suburbs you made fun of with your friends. You're fvcked.
To each their own, but in answer to your question "why would anyone in their right might settle for that?", where I am guessing you meant "right mind", one reason is because of the huge collection of Java libraries (and libraries written in other languages that run on the JVM) that can be easily called from Clojure. There are also some software deployment environments where the code must run on the JVM, or it is not considered for deployment, and Clojure can play well there.

Clojure on the JVM starts up in about a second with only the core Clojure code included. It can definitely take in the tens of seconds to read/compile-to-JVM-byte-code step for larger code bases that are not precompiled from source, but for long-running server processes, many people consider that a blip compared to VM startup times.

Of course that _is_ an issue for quick-running command line tools, and most people therefore don't use Clojure on the JVM for those purposes. Many _do_ use ClojureScript running on a JavaScript engine like node for such things, because its startup time is lower.
For the prosecution. The accusers had all continued flirting with (and in one case sleeping with) Ghomeshi after the alleged assaults. One lied about it, and the other two didn't bring it up until the defense got hold of their emails.
Still gullible though. If all it takes is a story about going to see kids to get $20 out of you, you are gullible whether or not your are helpful/emphatic.
> Feature engineering is a mechanism of creating new levels of abstraction in knowledge representation because each (non-trivial) feature extract and makes explicit some piece of knowledge hidden in the data. It is almost precisely what deep learning is intended for. In this sense, feature engineering does what hidden layers of a neural network do or what the convolutional layer of a neural network does

Very intriguing and thoughtful statement. I hadn't ever thought of it that way.
there are a lot of jokes being made along the lines of "there goes their userbase" but for me personally this is a huge loss.

especially for those of us who have certain kinks, Tumblr to this day has been the only place to ever exist where women could safely express their sexuality.

it allowed us to meet like-minded people, it allowed us to break the taboo and it ended the isolation that many of us felt.

Tumblrs main asset has always been it's community,and I'm deathly afraid this new policy will take all of this away
I tried that for a week. Couldn't get used to it. I found that too many apps use color for important distinctions, which they shouldn't because of colorblind people, but it is what it is.
yeah but were not talking about university students

You know, you're right and I have (Even having said that I would not personally want them to go through the bs that I have had to go through.). It feels pretty good to vent this kind of thing.

Definitely, I am always trying to mentor those who need it but, I do give forewarning about what to expect(What I stated above).

I also agree about the labor issues. The experience I described above has happened to me quite a few times when I was out on the job hunt. We have great students who maybe are not at ivy league level but, are either self taught or willing to learn. We need to give them a chance first. Btw that's all diverse groups, not just Black Americans.

Ofc there are servers; the point is that its server-independent — and ofc theres a setup and configuration to it: certain ideas still have to exist somewhere, if its no longer implicitly known by your server

What’s the point in being pedantic about the marketing naming? If you’re going to lay critiques, don’t swing wildly at the first thing you see; you gotta hit ‘em where it hurts (eg as always, most codebases don’t need that kind of scaling; the code architectural benefits can be had without buying into k8/docker entirely; auto-scaling always offers the risk of a surprise high bill; limited to short-lived functions; server configuration replaced with cloud services/docker configuration; etc)

Who do you imagine you’re trying to convince? A first year cs grad? Your mother? Does you really believe anyone who could make claim to an informed opinion would be so dense as to never think “wait! There must be something underlying all this magic!”

Serverless is not really serverless! And cloud is just someone else’s servers! Have got to rank amongst the most commonly useless statements in tech; it convinces no one and is pure signalling
A carbon tax is a pigovian tax, which works purely to internalise negative externalities into the price of the good. Any purported bonus that could be achieved by directing that money, somehow, is just that: a bonus. It would still work without it.

A carbon tax would work if you burned the money. Bonus points if you captured the CO2 from the fire :)

A carbon tax serves to connect our intuition to our logic. We logically know that, somehow, the sum of all our disparate little actions is responsible for global warming. But the feedback loop is notoriously long, and complex. And humans are no-to-ri-ous-ly bad at properly valuing that. We couldn't do it to save our lives, or that of our species.

Furthermore, it helps break free from the tragedy of the commons, where every independent agent makes a game theoretically optimal move, to the detriment of the global system. No amount of proselytising or appealing to humane sensibilities, no amount of ecological lucidity or sudden flashes of intuitive insight into that awful feedback loop, would ever solve that problem.

No weapon works better against overfishing than quotas. Not necessarily a tax, but leveraging the market similarly.

No weapon works better against carbon emissions than a carbon tax.

Pigovian taxes are powerful weapons in a market oriented society. Very, very powerful. This is why vested interests will do absolutely anything to prevent them.

Doing something useful with the money is just a tiny cherry on top of large cake of success.

I'm an FBA seller doing mid 7 figures, it's certainly possible to be successful here and I have a lot of peers that are also pulling in multi 7 figures. The problem I see most beginners entering the business is that they're reading too many forums and watching too many Youtube videos thinking that there's a get rich quick scheme here. Let me tell you that there isn't.

Here's the secret, treat FBA like you would any other business - that means focusing on competitive advantages, barriers to entry, customer acquisition strategy, and other general business model type stuff.

For example, one of our best selling products took 2 years to develop, over $150k in R&D expenses, multiple patents and thousands in marketing to build the brand. It's currently making millions, but the road to get there certainly wasn't easy and it certainly wasn't "Off the shelf". No one talks about that stuff though because it's not sexy, it's just like any other business, you really have to put in the effort and think about what you're doing to get anywhere - or else like multiple comments have already said, the Chinese sellers will just totally crowd you out. And why shouldn't they? You have nothing special going on.
Karuna Health | San Francisco, CA USA | Full-time | Onsite

Our mission is to give every patient a guide in the healthcare system.

Karuna's software allows patients to stay in touch with their care teams using the same channels they use with friends and family: from Whatsapp and text messaging to voice calls and video.

Those people are out there, just not posting on HN at 2pm EST cuz they're not at a desk, they're working 10 hours on a site job.

One of my buddies was a linux admin, but now he blows glass and does custom stained-glass windows. Still has a website and does other techy stuff but mostly just playing w/ fire and sand last I heard.
I was cutting corners a bit. Here's more in depth:

You can always read very accurate position with pneumatic actuators. You just can't keep it very accurately in place in dynamically loaded situation. You can also read the force of hydraulic system, but you cannot keep it constant as easily in dynamically loaded situation.

If you want (roughly) certain force and you don't care about precise position, then you have lot's of advantages from pneumatic system. The whole volume of the system acts as "hydro-pneumatic accumulator". Which means that the whole volume of the system is trying to average out the change in force. And you get that free of charge. And also you don't have to invest any money into hydraulic fluid. Air is free and available (almost) everywhere.

If you then insist on hydraulic system, you have to put separate hydro-pneumatic accumulator. But because almost any hydraulic fluid is heavier than any given pneumatic fluid, you have more mass in any given pipe section. That means the system will react slower to any(?) pressure increase. You can read the pressure very accurately, but you cannot smooth it out as fast as pure pneumatic system would.

There are caveats though, sound can travel very fast in hydraulics. And turbulence can eat out pressure very quickly. I'm kinda professional in the business, but still starting out.. :D So take this with pinch of salt.

PS. Hydraulic systems can handle 60 bar safely, while 6 bar pneumatic system can already explode and be quite dangerous. That's sometimes enough of a reason to go hydraulic.
Things I always want when looking at something new:

- Where does it sit in relation to other data science components?

- What does it integrate with, and what is it agnostic to?

- Smallest self-contained use case? I see some examples in the repo readme but they are not self-contained so its harder for me to imagine its use

I recently finished my master's degree and I'm looking for a job. Ideally I'd like to find a position where I can apply my experiences with LLVM or at least C++. Learning something new is no problem for me, though. Going abroad is another point on my wish list. Aside from German, I'm fluent in English and I speak a little bit of French as well. It's important to me to see my co-workers in-person. While I enjoy (mostly front end) web development immensely I'm hesitant to pursue a career in this field. However, I won't say I cannot be persuaded otherwise given the right arguments :)
Looking forward to hear from you!

> There seems to be generally a fear of newer systems languages like Rust

It's not fear of newer languages (most of the time). I would love to use Rust for embedded in a professional environment but it loses out quickly based on supported platforms.

As leader of an embedded development team, I can't choose a language that will limit the processor parts we can use when we get closer to manufacturing and cost reduction. At volume, many millions spent on software development is dwarfed by cost savings from swapping in the right part.
When I was a kid, I got a beginner microscope, and it was awesome. I guess you don't need the best optics if you are just starting out.

There were a few sources of frustration:

1. The built in lamp was way too weak, but there was also a mirror, but positioning the microscope to get light from the window was a pain. The biggest difference to the awesome school microscopes was that they had great light.

2. The microscope only came with 5 or so glass plates to put your samples on. I could only look at a handful of samples, and had to wash my glass plates again, etc. Until one day I just "borrowed" a small box of glass plates from school (I guess I should have just asked my parents for more plates, they don't cost much, but you need lots of them)

3) My microscope didn't have any mechanics to move the sample, which made it pretty tricky to move especially at higher magnifications

4) I also got a box of prepared tissue samples with the microscope, but didn't really understand what to do with them. They had nice colors, though.

> This is why no one needed a baked in "dark mode" for Windows 98.

Nevertheless there was and it looked really crazy.

> There is no equivalent dialog in modern Windows

The last version of Windows I used was Windows 7 and I'm pretty sure it was there. I was coding WinForms apps and it uses native system widgets stylable via these settings. Now I use Qt to develop cross-platform apps (on KDE5 as the primary environment), it follows the principle in almost every aspect (it doesn't let you change the colors easily however, you need to design a custom theme for this), it also suggest attaching a keyboard shortcut to every action and displays these right to the menu items.
It's really not that difficult if you take a few classes.
It's fake. I could write such stories all day long.

This isn't true though. There are ton's of uninterpretable model methodologies in classical statistics that have little to no ability to allow for understanding but are aimed entirely at accurate predictions. Where is this narrative that statistics is only interested in understanding coming from?

Motivity Systems is hiring a full stack developer in Seattle to help on our mission to make autism behavior therapy more efficient, effective and able to reach more patients in need.

We are currently preparing our flagship product for release early in the new year that will allow therapists to specify therapeutic programs within our system, which in turn generate interfaces for recording performance on tasks (games, response to certain prompts, etc.) and real-time visualization of patient progress tailored to the various roles involved in patient care.

Some functional programming experience might help, but certainly isn't required -- honestly we're really just looking for sharp developers who are enthusiastic about learning and being a part of a growing, early-stage (but thankfully well-funded!) startup.

YouTube’s PewDiePie and T-Series battle to break the internet
Creator here. This has been a fun little project. I used reactjs with react-easy-state for the front-end, and then chose to roll my own url shortener for the links. I still have a long list of features & fixes to implement yet, but this should be mostly functional for most users.

There is no help doc yet, so basically in the "Track" area, you press the "SINGLE-CLICK TO RECORD" button once while the video is playing, and it will record a sleigh bell at that point. If you play the video back over that point, you should hear the sleigh bell.

During playback, press and hold the "HOLD TO ERASE" button, and your previously-recorded bells will be erased.

Some known issues:
- basically NO mobile support at the moment
- doesn't work in Safari

If you tweet your creations, I'll add them to my timeline for others to see. I'm looking forward to seeing your creations, comments, and constructive criticisms!

Thanks!!!
