Something I didn’t see in the article: is their a pricing model for multiple bras? I can imagine that a lot of people who would buy a $350 bra would gladly pay $750 for, say, 10 bras. Or even for a smaller number of bras and a copy of the pattern that they can use to get new bras later from Bra Theory or elsewhere.

This is not entirely true, although the goal shifted over the years and progress (outside Google) is very slow. See J2CL, jsinterop, and elemental2.
You put the service account token on the filesystem and then have it removed from the filesystem after loading it. then it lives inside a process, where it is still recoverable by a determined adversary who attempts to obtain root and can inspect process memory, but you can further protect that by encrypting it in memory with an ephemeral key (which also should not be at a predictable location).
The problem is that nobody else is paying attention to the Yak. Its getting out of control and your house guest thought it was a rug the other day. All you need in order to shave it too is to sharpen your scissors, and the sharpener is at the hardware store. Easy.
The failure mode here seems to be assuming that every business must be a "tech" business.
Any woman who has worn a $30 bra from Target will tell you how uncomfortable a budget bra can be.

Not quite ANY woman.

Whether it is easy to get a bra that fits depends on the shape of the breasts. Women who have "teardrop breasts" can pick a random bra of roughly the right size and likely be happy. My wife does, and it wasn't until she was reading a site about bra fitting that she understood why she never has the problems that she hears other women complain about.

Given her luck, she has always just picked up cheap bras. Since that's going to work just fine, why pay a premium?

Display brightness establishes the absolute limits of its output color space (i.e. the display's dynamic range).

By which I mean: bright colors won't be anywhere as bright with a dim display as they would be when the brightness is turned up. And the difference between dark and light colors is more pronounced with a higher brightness level.

Car technology always filters down from high-end models to daily drivers over time - today the tech will be in Polestar, in 5 years, it will be in Volvo's generic platform covering several models. Even Tesla kicked things off with the expensive roadster and the tech filtered to cheaper cars, and this follows a long tradition (power steering, airbags, traction control, cruise control were all premium models features at some point but are now standard)
Are you saying that only products affordable at median income are suitable for rational businesses? That premium products are irrational?

Diving into Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD)
I read many of the comments. There are lots of good suggestions. I believe these skills should be checked as well.

- to be able to explain something (whatever the candidate knows) by drawing boxes+arrows on white board

- to be able to write short and clear messages especially emails in corporates

- to be able to learn something new in a limited time

- to be able to document something clearly

- to be able to hack arhitecture/framework/existing mechanisms when necessary

- to be able to design something so that it will require minimum hack in the future (similar to O of SOLID)
That might make a marginal difference if you have large libraries that are used in a large number of applications that run concurrently. Otherwise, the sharing is completely pointless.
A lot of Windows applications built with .NET do a dependency check and launch the .NET Framework installer (often included in the installation package) if you are missing the minimum required version.

Of course, that is a system-level change, which can potentially break other applications on your machine (if they're written badly and/or poorly supported). .NET Core removes that by supporting side-by-side versions and versions packaged with the app, but it certainly wasn't critical to assume a given machine already had a .NET Framework version in question.

Honestly, with Windows 10 now including .NET Framework updates along with feature upgrades every six months, and the fact that pre-Windows 10 versions of Windows haven't that many more years to live, it feels like that advantage isn't as big as it used to be anyways.

My concern is .NET Core may lead to a lot of unnecessary software bloat. Where Windows has the current .NET Framework, but we still have to have six versions of .NET Core installed, and then half the programs on the computer don't use those and have their own bundled versions as well. I find .NET Framework already being on-system to be a big perk of writing my app with it: My software is a 7 MB file because most of the code is already built into Windows.

To be fair, China is a signatory to all of the major copyright treaties of the past 60+ years.

And I clicked on "I Accept" on hundreds of EULAs. That doesn't mean I'm going to abide by the terms I "agreed" to.

Because of its manufacturing sector, China can sign onto whatever it wants and still not enforce the rules. What are the other signatories going to do? Make iPhones in Brussels?
Hey folks, we've been around for a while. We make it super easy to print and mail stuff, and this is a pretty big release for us. As far as we know, as of today, if you want to print and ship via FedEx you have to walk into a Kinko's, get it picked up, or do a complicated multi step flow on FedEx.com.

With us you can do this in 5 steps. Try it, give feedback, and be candid. Thanks!

Might be location specific but out of 300+ candidates for 15 positions mid to senior level over 8 years in London recruited using this technique I've only ever had one person turn it down. We ask for fairly simpler requirements and for people to limit themselves to 4-6 hours over the course of a week with a focus on comments and recording their thoughts in a readme to suggest how they'd scale things if it was a real project. We don't really bother with many technical questions outside of the project anymore. It really is the single most important thing to get a glimpse into a persons ability to deliver, let them code at their own time in a setting they are comfortable with and then do a peer review with them on location and discuss the implementation and potential enhancements. The rest after that is generally just team fit and culture alignment checks.

I can get behind your first statement. Having NULLable as a default on columns is "probably" a bad idea.

I'm not so sure I can agree with the other two. NULL<>NULL (and NULL=NULL) both return false for a very simple reason: truly missing data _can't_ be equal to anything, including missing data... Because it's missing. You cannot with certainty say that value1 is or is not equal to each other.

For the third point... What should max(column) return when there's no data? You're telling the engine "give me the maximum value of something that doesn't exist". That is, in my experience, "missing data."

>Courtesy of Planck, of course.

No. Absolutely not. This is where physicists get their history wrong and what the lecture explains.

When Planck described black-body radiation, he wrote that it was "as if" there were resonators in the walls that can oscillate at certain discrete frequencies. He did believe that light was a wave.

Even after Einstein published his paper much later, Planck and everyone else thought he was silly for almost twenty years. They accepted the photoelectric effect explanation but not how Einstein came to the result (photons).

I'd agree, except that Fortnite is hardly the originator of this sort of model. Blizzard has been doing similar things for years. And once upon a time Team Fortress 2 being dubbed a hat simulator comes to mind. And then there was Counter-Strike.

I don't buy into the "please, won't someone think of the children", type arguments like this is a new problem or that this game is specifically for kids. Or that Epic should change their business model when it turns out lots of children end up playing their wildly popular game.
"Just shy of 1000" is a curious definition of "a few hundred". And definitely not a trivial expense for many OSS/indie developers.

I fail to see how this is a problem, mostly because the job it was designed to do (build guis for desktop applications) has seen little innovation since the 90s.
Ask HN: Team structure: Specialists vs. Generalists?
When structuring a team - of software engineers in my case, but it could apply equally to other disciplines - what are the pros and cons of having team members each “own” specific parts of the code base versus share responsibility equally? To be clear, I’m assuming the software organisation is already broken down into teams of ~5-15 developers.

I’d be interested to hear peoples experiences of both approaches. What circumstances might come in to play here and make one approach preferable?
> one of a founder's most valuable assets is a deep understanding of the customer's problem(s) and how to solve them.

IMHO, it's the ONLY thing that matters - and like you, I too learned it the hard way. Optimizing for non-existent (or non-critical) problems is a very common mistake.
"Hey kid, how does it feel to want?"

If they want it that bad, let them go mow lawns or shovel driveways or whatever. You know, like kids have often had to do when there was something they wanted, no matter how silly it seems to adults.
I bought my car 8 years ago for $5000. To date, it cost me around $2000 in maintenance, and I give it $30 a month in gas. Car insurance and registration are roughly $500 a year. Add up all these costs, and on average I pay ~$150 a month to own and operate my car, and that's ignoring the fact I can probably still sell this car for $3000-5000.

Either the math on that website is way off, or a new car is truly the worst investment you can make in your life.

You already explained this in your parent comment.

"After that I’ll be hoping for their stock to shoot up of course."

Why would it suddenly shoot up after you join? Assuming you're not joining as CEO, of course.

"And that’s the scenario OP was outlining."

What are you referring to? This scenario was not outlined in the original NYT article nor in my root comment.
Accesses to unallocated global data is the type of errors that you typically hit on the first test run. Another example would be function pointers loaded from DLLs.

is there any science behind this? or is it all just 'personal experience'?
I think you can say something similar about programming languages that don't have automatic memory assignment.

It can be perfectly valid to have a pointer reserved in memory, without having given it a value to point to yet. I see why this isn't much of an issue in 2015, but it was.

I don't think NULL is a problem at all really, but it sure isn't fun in languages like C# where you can have nullable types, but I think that's a problem with C# and not the concept of NULL.
Lately I've felt like New York is turning into a bit of a theme park. Everything is turning into a popup experience/temporary museum, a speakeasy, an overpriced fast-casual restaurant, a Wework or a luxury apartment building.
