Mattermost, anyone? Its a libre Slack replacement, with additional functionalities.
Also he ended the Vietnam war as promised. Whether that was the best thing can be left up for debate, but he delivered.
No, they don’t inject you with cyanide or something that kills the organs.
Oops, modified that page last minute and accidentally removed the port. Its fixed now! (try copy / pasting again)
That seems to be correct Spanish, is there something wrong with it? I think the tilde should be removed though now that this is American land. You could preserve the pronunciation somewhat by renaming to Anyo Nuevo State Park. Similar to how was done with the Spanish cañón to the English canyon.
> the bigger issue is that companies are being stupid by interviewing anyone this way, period.

I don't know about being stupid. I think it's an okay way to evaluate candidates, and as a person who does regularly interview people for engineering positions I see its value (I just get people to code a simple singly linked list with an insert and a find method). It's just unfortunate for a small minority like me that don't do well in situations such as these, particularly with the more difficult and involved problems.

> Just decline the ones that do use algorithm puzzles / whiteboard questions / etc., and include your constraints about how you will be evaluated just as you would include constraints about salary, insurance, job duties, etc.

> ...

> If part of what you want is to be treated with basic dignity and respect while being evaluated during an interview — something incompatible with trivia / hazing style interviews that are ubiquitous in the tech industry — then just own that choice, be proud of it and straightforward. Just politely tell interviewers it does not work for you, accept that you may need to opt out of a lot of interview pipelines, and you’ll find options better suited to you.

The thing is, I can't really do that. I want to move to America, in particular San Francisco, where I have absolutely no network I can reach out to like I do where I currently am. I can't imagine a situation where a company would forego a technical interview in a case like that, despite my work history or GitHub account

Thank you for taking the time to reply mlthoughts2018, I really appreciate it :-)
Having a single spot where broadly useful data can live is sort of the point of OSM.

Grab would already be using the OSM data in bulk to host their own services. That's sort of the model that the OSM community has pursued, the openstreetmap.org website and associated services are a tech demo with no service guarantee, so you wouldn't want to rely on them much for a business.
Depends on who you ask. http://geocalc.clas.asu.edu/pdf/ZBW_I_QM.pdf

I can't recommend America: The Fairwell Tour more highly... it gets to the core beyond manufactured divisions that atomize citizens, set them against each other, manufactured consent, grotesque inequality, learned helplessness and the broken American dream paving the way for grotesque inequality.
Uh my counterexample is the Sun itself. Uses fusion on a daily basis to provide vast quantities of light and heat. What a fusion reactor does is it decouples the plasma superhot gravity-laden center of a sun with a magnetic field strong enough to hold tiny pockets of plasma to generate energy (once we can go straight to fusion reactions using Boron) or to generate other particles which will create heat.
Its possible you hit a bug with our github oauth where we were expecting an email from your github profile and it didn't exist. It should be fixed now if you'd like to try again!
It's not overstated. The only people I've heard say this are the ones that prefer remote work. You're definitely more productive around where the action is happening than in a house with kids screaming.
While Electron is inferior in almost every regard, at least the UI might actually make sense for Mouse and Keyboard manipulation.

Seeing touch sized click targets on HiDPI non-touch displays as one does with the Marzipan approach is not great.
Some highlights I saw -

* SF is center of the tech world. Next biggest is just around half of its size. (not withstanding HN bias).

* Approx 25% jobs allow visa sponsorship

* HTML, Python, .Net overwhelmingly dominates everything else.

* Reduced interest in databases, SQL, Obj-C, Java

* No TensorFlow or PyTorch in demand

* 90% jobs in development/software engineering, 10% in management and misc.
Python has strong typing as of 3.6, although not at compile-time, since it doesn't compile.
I was a lead on Blitz. You’re right that there are ways to get around this domain ownership check, but in practice it was enough of a hurdle to avoid bad actors. Also, I’m pretty sure that these stressors were way more cost effective if your only goal is to DDoS a site.
> Why can't people see trouble-tech?

I like that term. Would really like a definition.

How does 'technology whose short term value is negated by long term negative effects' sound?
"If you think like you do, then it's no wonder a mere $12,000 USD is a lot of money to you."

$12k is a decent down payment on a small house or condo (at least if you're living outside of a place with grotesquely-inflated property values like the SF Bay Area), or a significant amount of the way toward a new or lightly-used car. It's more than the vast majority of Americans have in their savings accounts. That you consider that to be trivial betrays how thoroughly out-of-touch you seem to be with the real world.

Regardless, given my mediocre-at-best academic record in high school, my tuition likely would have been much higher than a "mere" $12k even with my (at the time, and probably still in effect) plan of pursuing the Associate's degree first (unless I stop at the Associate's degree, but I have a feeling folks like you would still be snobbish about that).

"managing to get a degree in it does make one intellectual elite"

No, it really doesn't. Not all institutions are equal in terms of academic rigor, and not everyone graduates from CMU or MIT; some of them went to ITT Tech or got to be a "Legacy" at Harvard. High-schoolers in America (myself included) were/are constantly bombarded with propaganda about how "if you just get a college degree you'll make so much more money" and then the kids flock to whichever degree mills will get them that piece of paper. And again, I know from direct personal experience dealing with CS-degree-holders that the degree itself is not a reliable indicator of competence for that reason.

If you think that a piece of paper is the thing making you an "intellectual elite", then you're in for a rude awakening when the rest of us manage to peer through that veneer. What does make you an "intellectual elite" is actual merit, and that is earned, be it through actually-rigorous academic study or actually-rigorous experience in the real world (and ultimately, the elite of the elite will more often than not have an abundance of both; most such folks start with the academic side of that equation, but I missed the boat on that so I guess I'll have to make do coming at it from the opposite direction).

Having been on the receiving end while working at a contracting company, I wouldn't say that.

The process seemed fairly open. The government send requests for proposals and contracting companies can bid. There is no trick involved. I found the requirements to be surprisingly well written on a few I had to read.
Honestly, I disagree. The only Marzipan apps I’ve used so far are Apple’s built-in ones, and maybe things will get better because this is the early days, but they’re gag-inducingly bad. I honestly much prefer well-made Electron apps like VSCode and I’d take that any day if we can’t have good native apps.
This would be true if fuel usage was linearly related to wear and tear on the roads, or road usage.

Fuel taxes almost never tax heavy usage vehicles enough, compared to the amount of damage they do to the road.

A fuel tax also doesn't solve the problem grandparent post is trying to solve, excess usage of 'high value' roads.

If road usage, and road wear and tear, was evenly distributed then a fuel tax would work, but the reality is that is simply a convenient and fairly effective proxy solution. As technology improves a solution similar to grandparent, some form of usage tolling, will become feasible and provide a more effective outcome.
When will the first class graduate? I would like to hire a few people immediately, we could also allow for remote phone / video internships or testing during their course.
You're comparing an HN post, which is typically smaller companies, to an overall statistics where large companies hire from body shops.
Matrix is another great replacement. The devs also offer dedicated hosting for a much cheaper per user cost than slack.
If someone has one of these in their house I will leave. Recording without permission of all participants is forbidden in many places anyway.
>SF is center of the tech world. Next biggest is not even half of its size.

The article lists SF as having 2922 jobs and New York 1746 jobs
I really don't understand why slack is so popular. It's just irc, if you have a devops person they can stand that up over lunch, and send out the email to "hey download this app"
I feel like I just read a thousand Dr. Bronner's bottles..
The oiginal Bereshit, the first section of the Mikra, was written left to right. This was ancient Hebrew but the writing was in Aramaic in the form of abjad.

So they should both be Aramaic but the “dialects” would have been ~960 to ~480 years apart and from different regions.

But in this case maybe hebrewed his own favorite translation since he used an “online translator”. He probably has the first DNA version of a poorly translated tattoo.

I've always thought of New Age as what you get when you puree every religious, philosophical, and occult/esoteric text together in a blender and then strain out the gritty bits.

I do kind of agree that New Thought is a stronger influence on pop new age than Crowley. He's too edgy.
Xhyve looks promising, but it’s really new and at this stage it lacks all but the most basic documentation.

I haven't visited in about a decade so don't have a full picture. I'd say a lot of people have access to a VPN, but would not go as far as to say they are always connected to a VPN.

Yeah, I've worked with plenty of companies who have a whole public range and use it internally, but the external firewall still stops them from being publicly routed. Simply having a public IP doesn't mean it's actually public.
Glowing Bear has a preference to hide channels that don't have any activity.

As for using wee-slack in Weechat, go.py helps. I bind it to meta-g, it's a script that lets you jump to channels by typing the name. Also, /part any channels you're not interested in.
I see your point if the term profit is defined in a general sense, but with the exception of "corporations as people" caveat there's plenty of everyday examples where people are trying to maximize outcomes other than capital (sometimes at the expense of capital). I'm not sure that makes it any less of a free market
They're worse than that. Houses are a mass medium of child abuse. It's a lot easier to rape children indoors than to find a a suitably secluded spot outside any house.
Sadly yes.
the answers to your questions are

1: I never said recent advancements are directly leading to AGI. Not in ML.

2: I don’t hold any contradictory ideas in my head

Your comment is aggressive and unpleasant which is an offense that should get you flagged. I constantly get flagged for making comments like yours because I happen to have an unpopular opinion. I can’t believe I put up with all this for YOUR benefit. Do you think I derive pleasure from trying to make people like you see things clearly?

As I have said so many fucking times, a layman is just as qualified as a ML expert to talk about the impact of AI on the world. Just because someone is an expert in a field that is tangentially related to AGI doesn’t mean a god damn thing. This is not a discussion about modern ML. But just to make it super easy for you to understand, let me put it this way: even if someone here were an expert in every detail of the theory and practical aspects of implementing an AGI, that person still doesn’t know any more than a layman about the consequences of AI. The point that you so annoyingly cling to is like a car mechanic thinking he was the ultimate authority on how cars would impact the world. You don’t have to be a car mechanic to understand and reason about the concept of transportation. Ultimately, the most qualified person to talk about that is an economist or someone. Not you. You don’t have a deeper understanding of the concept of AGI than literally anyone.

It is to the benefit of humanity that you observe the deep, fundamental changes that AGI will cause in the basic economics of human life. Dismissing it as “too far off” or “alarmist nonsense” is irresponsible.
Yeah, I’m normally not a fan of creating a new protocol and further contributing to fragmentation of open source effort, but in this case matrix.org fills a technical need that old protocols like irc and xmpp simply weren’t up to the task for.
Hyper V requires a Windows Pro license last time I checked. That’s significantly more expensive that VirtualBox.

Why on earth is it OK that this spot could have been taken at all?
I was wondering what they were using since the Oneplus3 have been discontinued for so long.

It's irresponsible because they wrote an apk that patches to a python script... They could at least have some portion written in some hardware language like C++, especially the safety check section. Also, when I first read it there was zero redundancy. They could at a minimum do a soft watchdog how ROS does it. Putting your Drive by Wire node and the logic processing all in one unit is a horrible idea. They should have one device to do the inference like the TX2 and another do the DBW (the LePro 3).
I worked at a BigCo and my best friends are still there. Same department but different teams.
Tomte, thanks, not particularly for the original reference to the article about smell, but for directing us to the person in question and all the great stuff she has written. I got lost for an hour an 45 minutes.

Thank you!
> According to Ferguson’s complaint, Epic is copying videos frame-by-frame to create the dances, a case of straightforward copying. “Epic creates emotes by copying and coding dances and movements directly from popular videos, movies, and television shows without consent,” alleges the complaint. “Epic does so by coding still frames of the source material. For example, upon and information and belief, Epic coded the ‘Ride the Pony’ emote, frame-by-frame, from the ‘Gangnam Style’ dance made famous by the Korean entertainer, Psy. The Ride the Pony emote and Psy’s dance are identical in every respect.”

Does anyone know if this is the process Epic actually uses when coding the emotes?
That's possible but that's quite a bit of processing for actionable speech to text which means you have a chance of the device acting sluggish when you query it or you have to give the device way more processing power than it needs which increases cost and from my understanding with devices like Amazon's, they're already being sold relatively near cost because they are intended to get you to spend more money inside the Amazon ecosystem.
Even their logo makes no sense as a trade mark.

Supreme is a common noun, and uses one of the most common typefaces, Helvetica, on a solid red background. There’s no unique aspect to their logo at all.

Maybe I should start a company named The. Start suing any product line prefixed with “The”
Off-topic, but I love the logo at the upper-left corner of the plato.stanford.edu web pages.

Stanford has an amazing collection of sculptures by Auguste Rodin, including his iconic "The Thinker". If you have business or just visiting the Silicon Valley area, it's worth exploring the Stanford campus and its Rodin museum.

It's not really that time sensitive. The main event loop for something like this only has to run at like 50hz.
I didn't find the code to be all that hard to understand either (at least the car interface bits needed to port to another car).
We have Mattermost at work, a very traditional Skype For Business kinda place, and it's awesome!
Mass privacy invasion is probably one of today's trends that our descendants will look back on and say "what were they thinking?" Another example for comparison would be 1950s-60s mass atmospheric nuclear testing.

Societies regularly undergo bouts of either really extreme political corruption or mass insanity (or sometimes both at once). All this mass surveillance is going to be a blast next time we have a Hitler, Pol Pot, or Stalin. We are already seeing this abroad but Americans still think it can't happen here.
On Twitter, here is their standard language

> Our systems may have detected an account on our platform with an IP address originating from a designated embargoed country. Please send a note to feedback@slack.com so we can investigate further.

Try going to a Walmart or big chain supermarket some time.
What's the rationale behind the current model?

From a business perspective, the older versions are used by older or larger companies that couldn't or didn't want to upgrade, they have money to shell out and should be charged more.

That doesn't make sense. You have them cut it, ask to smell it, then give it back to wrap it?
Those aren't the options, but nice attempt at a strawman...
They did offer an appeals process, but that can be safely assumed not to be a process for appealing the US law and their interpretation of it — it’s much more likely a process for appealing technical errors committed by accident during bulk work, such as “you identified my IP as Cuba when it’s Florida” or “I was hacked and we discussed that back then, please recheck your logs excluding the hacker’s activity”.

So they are absolutely offering recourse and resolution, but only where it is in their power to do so.

TLDR: Don’t expect Slack to be responsive to arguments that contain “please ignore US law for my individual circumstances”.
But Slack isn't strictly for businesses. It's "teams" in "workspaces" which could mean whatever. Especially in the case of free accounts there's a fair possibility that those could just be some people.
> to smell worse when diluted

It's possible that non-diluted concentrations smell so intensely that it appears like it smells less. Similar to various chemicals where after a while the smell fades, even when the concentration in the air remains the same.
I'm kinda shocked they both exist. Both were good products back in the day, but in 2018? Come on.
You can simply turn on airplane mode?
You can absolutely train your own models. Your comment is patently false and a fraction of the time it took to write it should have been spent reading that API you have so inaptly described. I encourage you to delete it.

That's a fascinating thing to be compared to, lol.
It’s strange that you admit the interview technique doesn’t work well for people like you, yet you choose yourself to administer a similar technique and see “value” in it.

Why do you think you’re in the minority? Belief that whiteboard coding puzzle evaluations are broken is very widespread. Even many people who do not experience anxiety from the time pressure or “gotcha” nature of these interviews also see them as a scourge of the industry.

San Francisco is a large place with many companies. Better to find the ones that really fit your needs than to compromise yourself by trying to fit into an interview procedure that isn’t right for you.

Plus, since you mention you already have a job, it means you can take your time to filter out companies. No need to rush or apply pressure to yourself to hurry up and meet some interview standards... you can take a longer, careful search before relocating.

Timeline for the release of Rails 6.0
Hello, Marco CTO of Kong here.

Kong is arguably more popular than Tyk (and other similar gateways) when it comes to adoption (55M+ downloads and more than 70,000 instances of Kong running per day across the world), and faster when it comes to performance. BBVA - a large banking group - wrote this technical blog post a while ago comparing Kong's and Tyk performance: https://www.bbva.com/en/api-gateways-kong-vs-tyk/\

Kong OSS is 100% open source, not limited to non-commercial use.

Kong is basically a programmable runtime that can be extended with Plugins [1]. There are more than 500+ plugins that are available on GitHub that we are (slowly) adding to the official Hub, among over 5000+ contributions. You can talk to the community at https://discuss.konghq.com/

Kong is also lightweight with a lower footprint, which is required to support both traditional API gateway use cases and modern microservices environments (Kubernetes sidecar, for example). Because of that, our users are basically using one runtime for both N-S traffic (traditional API Gateway usage) and E-W traffic within a microservice oriented architecture. You can easily separate data and control planes to grow to thousands of Kong nodes running in a system.

There are users/customers running 1M+ TPS on top of distributed Kong clusters spanning across different platforms (containers, multi-cloud, even bare metal) with less than < 1ms processing latency per request. One of the reasons for this is that with Kong you can include/exclude plugins that you don't use instead of having a heavier all-in-one runtime like many gateways do.

As a result to Kong's adoption, the business is also growing very rapidly which will allow us to better deliver OSS features moving forward :) [2]
