For example, look into Chapter 5 on logistic regression from the Gelman & Hill book on hierarchical models & regression.

It walks through an example with arsenic data in wells and a problem of estimating how distance, education and some other factors relate to a person’s willingness to travel to a clean well for water.

Deciding on how to standardize the input features, how to rescale for regression coefficients to be interpretable in meaningful human units, how to interpret statistics of the fitted model to decide whether a feature is helping or hurting by adding it (since this cannot be deduced from raw accuracy metrics alone), how to interpret deviance residual plots for outlier analysis, etc.

All those things have nothing to do with changing the architecture of the model, except possibly including or excluding features, and in that example there were no hyperparameters to tune, and the inference problem would not make sense for hyperparameter tuning on raw accuracy outputs anyway, since the goal was not optimizing prediction but rather understanding impact of features that have semantic meaning in the contexf of possible policy choices that could be adopted.

By way of contrast, applying an automated subset selection algorithm to automatically choose the features would be a naive idea with likely bad results in that case, and setting up an optimization framework that would optimize over possible transformations or standardizations of the inputs seems equally dubious compared with expert, context-aware human judgment.

And this is a very trivial example. If you modify a problem like this to address causal inference goals, or add some type of cost optimization on top of it, it becomes more and more complex, but exactly in a way that a tool like AutoML can’t help with.

In other words, making an AutoML that can truly apply to all types of estimation or inference problems is no easier than solving strong AI computer vision and natural language problems entirely, since you need contextual reasoning and creative proposals for inventing features and sleuthing the goodness of fit of a certain model architecture in light of the human-level inference goal you’re trying to reach.

They support UWP which includes all modern Windows environments (Windows 10, Xbox One, Windows Mixed Reality)

There is experimental support for MacOS, but it's actually very far along, close to being usable for production if not already.

Linux support isn't very widespread for many cross-platform technologies in the first place, so Electron is the best bet there. Maybe someone will make a react-qt project.
People aren't using those sites because of their UIs, but because of the content they offer. UI isn't the only factor, but it is a necessary factor.
I’ve expressed my thoughts on this already. And now it wasn’t 5% teens, but 18%?!?! That changes….nothing. Look through the letter from Facebook and see how many times they were notified they’d be collecting your data. They knew what they signed up for and they got paid to do it. This is such a non-issue, it’s insane. What terrible thing has happened as a result of this app? A few teens made a little extra money by letting Facebook see how they use their phone? Let’s do another 15 stories on it please TC.
I'd agree. Given the opportunity, programmers will often work without regard to business needs. For example, rewriting an old codebase using their favourite new stack.

As far as I know, all languages in the Finnish-Ugric family use a similar system of declension suffixes. Usually, the different declension cases are similar in number and their functions, but the actual suffixes used may vary from language to language. Proto Indo-European is indeed believed to have had a suffix-based complex inflection system, which the modern Germanic prepositions either have replaced or developed from.

I basically built it exactly for these sorts of reasons I found that I had all this dead time. On my commutes and in between running errands, or biking, and I wanted to maximize my learning and staying informed.
Yeah I know but is it really all the hassle? There's tons of great stuff on Netflix. If you are really into video then all those monthly subs won't kill you. Plus amenities like where did I stop watching, great clients for any platform, always top-notch quality up to 4K, multiple languages incl. subtitles.

A decade ago torrents made sense. Then, official offerings were rare/poor/expensive but now? The current most expensive productions come from Netflix and Amazon and cost you few bucks a month...

Edit: You changed your post, so my reply above doesn't fit anymore. However, in which countries is Netflix not available?
netflix content is crap in a lot of countries outside major western countries.

youtube doesn't have films / series

twitch, I don't really know what this is, I thought it is where you watch people play games? Why the hell would I want to watch this?

fortnite, I think is a game? Again, why would I want to watch this?

Also, a lot of places connection speeds make streaming difficult, so downloading a torrent to watch later that evening makes sense

> OpenSSL is affected by what we can call "fame".

OpenSSL is also affected by the problem that it was basically a toy project in the first couple years and got very little attention for well over a decade. OpenSSL is currently where Windows was ~15 years ago: XP and previous releases were an unmitigated security disaster, and slowly, release-for-release things are now improving.

OpenSSL also suffers from typical industry diseases: Very poor documentation, poor interface design.
Every time my daughter wants a new app, I take a look at the PP and Terms - then I try (and try hard) to let her know why this app is app is a bad idea. Hopefully, she'll get it as she grows and won't do something stupid with an app or a device.
Did your devs have the same turnaround time for new equipment and services as AWS? When they had problems, did they have the same volume of searchable material to help them repair? Did your services evolve and adapt as quickly as AWS? Does your networking connectivity survive DDoS attacks fairly transparently? Do you have DCs all around the part of the world that’s relevant to you? Can you survive multiple DC outages?

I was a cloud skeptic and ran Tech Ops (including our DCs) for years. About 5 years ago, it dawned on me that even owning the whole budget for Tech Ops, that I wasn’t capturing the full costs of trapping my org onto our in-house solutions.

At tiny, small, and medium scale, cloud is obviously the way to go, IMO. At large and huge scale, I think letting some hybrid leak in where systems change rarely and cloud costs are WAY out of line (DropBox storage, Netflix CDN, etc) makes sense.

Even the popular registrars accept Bitcoin payments and offer free whois protection. All that is left is a temporary email address and not using your own IP.

I'd call that reasonably anonymous. Pay attention to the TLD, because it might be against ToS to register some of them anonymously (mostly ccTLDs). There's plenty that don't have such restrictions.
So, why would you stream something that is designed to be downloaded? How is that better in any way? The whole advantage of streaming is from the publishers' point of view.
"youtube doesn't have films / series"

Yes, it does, if you pay. It works the same as Google Play Movies.
Patents punishes everyone who is not first. Why would anyone innovate when the rewards are 2 lotto away: 1. innovation itself, 2. be 1st among 7B ?

Patents might have been fine in local economy of 25M 100 years ago but they are definitely are not in global economy of 7B today.
what hassle?

During the day:

go to torrent site
click link

watch film that evening. Browse video review sites of new releases, find a film to watch. No more hassle that finding a film on netflix.

Only extra hassle is, you have to click a link a few hours before you want to watch it.

I have not used US netflix, but torrents have more content than the netflix I have seen (UK and Latin America)
The growth is due to cuts in regulations and taxes.

Both of which Trump spear-headed.

How do you explain away the record breaking employment statistics?
There's just no other options; it's still one of the best markets in the EU and going to the US is impossible for most developers so they have to accept the lower salaries.

I wonder if this is new buyers in the market (people foregoing/complementing cars and transit) or previous bike owners going electric.

I’d be happy if it were the first group but sad if it were the second group because it seems like it would result in a less active population.

In some countries, torrent consumers' IPs are tracked and they get sued => hassle.

Besides, I have all Netflix, Amazon Prime, Twitch Prime. The last time I watched any of them is months ago, I am too busy with life to watch some random torrents I have to download hours before.
Yes. But will a frontend or designer guy question what he is doing in the same way?

I hated Lost because they kept alluding to some epic story arc when it was painfully obvious the punchline was just “everyone is dead” and the rest of the show was mearly filler that they were making up as they want along.

Battlestar Galactica was a great show but Unfortunately I ruined it a little for myself when I watched a “how it’s made” style show midway though the second to last series and they commented about some of the writing decisions they made. That’s when I realised they were just making it up as they went along as well (previously I thought the same as you in that they had a pre-defined arc). Battlestar Galactica did still have some amazing writing though, even if I was a little saddened by my realisation.
I work at a company that is one of Plaid's largest customers and have chatted with their engineers before at a meetup in San Francisco. They were very open that they store the data themselves, and even shared this blog post with me about how they poll for data: https://blog.plaid.com/distributed-duplicate-detective/.

For what it's worth, I actually like Plaid's API compared to Yodlee, but have serious concerns about privacy. There's no way to determine if they are _just_ collecting transactions when you request the user's transactions as a dev. The user is handing over their user/pass/MFA and Plaid could be doing god knows what with that.
I hate UI redesigns, absolutely hate them; From the end user point of view, and from 15+ years of webdesign, if its working why the hell are we fixing it?

Well I'll tell you why, since i asked; And its neither for the end user or designers benefit. Its for the non-user, or the not-yet-user, the people who were put off by the old design. We are like fish, that have been caught, wondering why the fisherman is throwing nets into other parts of the sea..

Michelangelo's David; Trying not to read too much into the cropping, it may be innocent enough.. Though sometimes i think we've reverted back to the dark ages catholic cleansing (chopping off of stone penises) mentality about such things.
Twenty-three Skidoo (Phrase)
Yeah, there is — if you live in a western state.

There's mostly just originals everywhere else. While some of them are fun to watch, I find it increasingly difficult to justify its price.

What else is there? Hulu is US-only, YouTube Red/Premium is only available in about two dozens of countries, and you end up paying for Prime for nothing since most titles will appear as unavailable.

Music streaming... can be done, but video streaming is far from a viable option for the majority of the world.

I had a similar thought the first time I read this a few years back. I mean, I get what the author is trying to say here (e.g. the ball dropping/rolling probability thing), but it’s just a little more convoluted (ouch) than it needs to be, IMO.
One of the best articles ever on HN. I agree with you 100%! I've often thought this with web pages or apps with a new design. Most of the time the new one has only 80% of the functionality the old design had. I stopped updating most apps on my phone because of that.
This comes down to the cost of failure. If your app crashes or hangs sometimes, some of us might get annoyed but in the end we are all used to this now. It's a different story if your engine blows up from time to time. I am sure if every failure meant a 6 month and a million dollars setback, we would be designing software differently.
What I meant: nowadays, there is such a huge and great offering for your media consumption needs and all of the above are competing for your airtime. All are so good that it got quite tough for all the market players. The urge to watch some stellar movie as a torrent is not that big anymore as years ago because of the good competition.
actually torrenting is fine in most of Europe
Wow, sympy looks amazing. Seems to solve exactly the kind of things I'd use Mathematica/Wolfram for, especially back in my university days. Will play around with it when I have some time to repeat my math knowledge, been meaning to refresh some things for a while now.
Talking about filler episodes, that’s what ruins DS9 for me. I love the story arc in that (albeit I hate the final episode) but the filler episodes are just too painful to watch. Generally speaking at least, there are some really notable exceptions.

I’d be really interested if they did an abridged version of DS9 in HD. Sadly it’s the fillers that are putting me off from rewatching it.
That is the category. For example, math.GT is Graph Theory and math.NT is Number Theory.

> Companies have a responsibility to their customers, who should have confidence that the products they buy are not fuelling human rights abuses, cultural destruction or environmental devastation.

We need better agreements between countries that force politicians to support humanitarian actions. Right now rich countries expect to get goods without looking at the atrocities committed to produce them. And then, there is an increasing willingness to protect frontiers to shield that some countries from the consequences of their actions.

We need to improve the world together. We need to support environmental protection all over the globe. It is very difficult for small economies to eradicate violence and corruption when rich countries pour money that makes the problem worst. It is not an easy task. Patronizing developing countries is not going to work.

The article also links to that: https://www.globalwitness.org/en/campaigns/environmental-act...
As a JavaScript developer I can say that does happen, but its usually due to bad decisions from insecurity coupled with chasing trends rather than any overt act to justify thy existence.

My company doesn’t sponsor visas, but we get a lot of overseas applicants anyway.

One theme I’ve noticed from these resumes is that for the summary of experience they tend to list out technologies and job responsibilities. And also to have about a dozen bullet points for each job, which is overwhelming.

This makes the candidate look incapable of independent thought - reinforcing a negative stereotype of Indian developers. Too many of us have had or heard of bad experiences with outsourcing companies that need to be given instructions almost as detailed as you’d give a computer.

American and European companies (at least the good ones) aren’t looking for coders to accept and execute instructions. We’re looking for software developers who can synthesize context and business goals to develop software that will create value for the business.

What I’m looking to see on a resume are projects undertaken and even more importantly accomplishments. And only the most relevant 2-5 for each position. How did your work impact the business?

Instead of ticking off “I’ve used this technology” boxes, focus on highlighting your business value.
Why’s that? Aren’t there shortcuts for about everything?
