With frameworks you need a mental model of how the framework works. With libraries, you need a mental model of how your code works. On the balance of things, I would say that libraries often (not always) have less cognitive load here.

If you need the best library for the job, you can spend as much time as you like picking one. It's a matter of restraint to simply not spend that effort, and instead just pick a library because it meets your needs (without spending more than a moment evaluating whether it is better or worse than alternatives).
Mine was CS with a stats twist, yes. Fortunately the stats component put me in good stead for industry work.

I'd say TCS and pure math are about equivalent in terms of the career opportunties they offer.

Something I forgot to mention: under no circumstances should you self-fund a PhD. Make sure you have a stipend to keep food on the table. Self-funding magnifies the risks I've described tenfold.

This is a realistic perspective of what grad school is like in the average-to-bad case. I could identify with parts of it:

In the Iterators section if you use

for (idx, x) in xs.iter().enumerate()

instead of

for (x, idx) in xs.iter().zip(0..xs.len())

you get the 4x unroll (https://godbolt.org/z/XDyx0w).

I just did a quick check of the last 10 or so I received. None of them were listed as robocallers. They were all legit phone numbers of innocent people who live in my area.
I wonder if Netflix has overoptimized this for their metrics. I realize "the plural of anecdote is not data", but I've had the same problems with it lately; it's impossible to "browse" anything before the UI starts yelling at you. I'm sure their metrics look awesome, though, with engagement up in all sorts of ways, but I question if it's "real" engagement.
Consider Javascript that replaces native browser functions. Web pages that are essentially static documents, but still dont work without Javascript.

Is this good Javascript? I dont think so. Does disabling it on an individual level help? No.

Another article about how San Francisco is prohibitively expensive!

I think more mid to big companies should consider investing in moving to some of these areas where there's little to nothing else. If you look at something like Epic in Madison WI, they basically own that town in that sector, so a lot of people end up working there a lot longer than they want to because they've invested in that area (whether economically, emotionally, or something else).
I like what Slack does for GIFs: there's some (not sure if configurable) size threshold above which the GIF won't auto-expand. This is something browsers could do in general.
They aren't the first or the only one doing this. Crackdown 3 already semi-famously uses Microsoft's cloud systems to do some physics processing in the cloud and not on the client.

Stadia might be a lot easier for devs to code against since everything is in the "cloud", rather than having to split where the processing happens specifically, and so we might see more exclusives there because of that, but MS and friends aren't going to just fall over and give up if this ends up working.
What will be done about this situation?
This is not generally true. When you overtly brand products with machine learning or AI, there’s often a customer perception that it’s overly complicated or something they could never understand, which often drives them away.

For example, you don’t see too many of the most successful or long-term quant finance products touting machine learning or AI. They do use these techniques (sometimes directly for trading, sometimes only for auxiliary problems), but don’t make a big deal out of it.

I worked previously in both adtech & quant finance, and have seen products where ML is the absolute core of the whole thing, yet it wasn’t marketed that way (even recently). I’ve also seen products fail to gain market traction due to overly aggressive ML/AI branding that customers (mostly other enterprise business marketing teams) found alienating and overly complex.
> I could literally take a crack at selling a house after a week of training and probably do alright.

My father was an agent, so I'm obviously biased. However, thinking that 'selling a home' is all there is to being an agent is incredibly naive. It is a professional certification, where you have to be knowledgeable about the laws of the state you operate in, because they control your business.

Compared to the regulatory environment of real estate, software is a dream. You pay the realtor for having passed a test saying that he/she is capable of representing you in accordance with the law.

Also, you probably would not be able to sell a home. Sales is a skill unto itself. Only non-salespeople think it's easy. Having seen what my dad would have to do, I noped out of sales real quick. Engineering is way easier.

I should introduce you to my mother.
I am a maths PhD researcher in a CS department, just like you describe. In a few short words, my recommendation would be that you do the PhD for its own sake, not as a tool to get a higher-paying job or to learn for an industry job. If you want the latter, you're better off elsewhere, plus you will probably be miserable in a PhD. Be sure that you get into it for the sake of doing research in a field you like (even though it surely will net you numerous other benefits) because if you don't then you will not enjoy your time and also probably be at a disadvantage compared to not doing a PhD.

Myself I'm not particularly worried about maximising income or whatever. I like what I'm studying and researching, and I'm paid enough to live a comfortable life at least for now. I could honestly do this for the rest of my life (which is what an academia career is, I suppose), but if I ever get fed up with it I also know I have loads of doors open everywhere, which is certainly a comforting thought.
Coordination is easier too when projects involve the cooperation of multiple individuals to get things accomplished. Escalating to more senior people is also easier when someone can walk over and ask for help in some situations.

Plenty of people have brought up the "looks ugly/terrible/dumb" criticism and they seem to be sticking with the "total private encapsulation" proposal.

Personally I don't have a problem with it, since Typescript offers "soft" access modifiers that work fine for any use cases I can think of.
Mine made an offer way below asking that I thought was insulting, but he told me to go with it, so I did. And they took it, and even on top of that he said I should ask for a few repairs to be made, and they even did that too at 100%.

So I too am in the bucket of people who think's the 3% is well worth it. Not to mention the time spent showing houses and the research he did. I get some peoples issue with it being a percentage of the house, but for the house I bought at least, I see no problem with the amount of money he made. If I was buying a million dollar house, I'd probably think differently.
You're lucky! In the US, you have to make the mistake of giving your phone number to nearly any business.
Google announces Stadia, a new game streaming platform – Polygon
Slowly but surely the creative potential of the web is eroded until nothing is left but plain text and ads, to thunderous applause. Gross overreaction after gross overreaction and now we're in a state where extensions are a shallow husk of their former glory, you need to jump through legally vague ridiculous hoops to do anything involving user data, a vast trove of great Flash content is no longer accessible to the average user, web apps with sound and video aren't allowed to work seamlessly without an obnoxious "click here to let the webpage do what it should be able to do anyway" button, and various other unnecessary restrictions. How soon until it's the default that you need to give a website permission to display images and you need a license to make a webpage? That's the direction it feels like we're heading in. I'm saddened that the golden age of the web is probably behind me, but at least I was alive for it.

I've been on Xaxax 9 years, without it, I would be dead. I only take it infrequently though (10-15 days a month ?) so I can't comment on everyday usage and increasing tolerance. It does bother me quite a bit that my doctor only lets me be a functional human being approximately half the month, but, I'll take what little solace I can get. On higher regular (everyday) dosages seizure and even possibly death is a real possibility if you go into withdrawal, so I suppose I see where people are coming from. It doesn't make me feel any better the rest of the month though....

I suppose that's why I am so interested in these one and done kind of drugs, who wants to take a pill every day just to feel normal ? Nobody. I think the new study of these psychedelics (mdma therapy, psilocybin (especially), ketamine, dmt and their derivatives) really needs to be looked into so people can break the chains of the other medication they are on and live full happy lives.
Agree with slantyyz... go for the Mac users first. The users tend to be more vested in the apps and you can get good feedback going. Going for a larger audience is not always the best approach especially if you are testing the waters.
> try to reject implausible ideas like the notion that there’s some grand scientific conspiracy against your preferred ideas

You mean like academics who push blank slatism to prop up dubious political outcomes? Or people who push notions of racist math or sexist physics?

The questions are 1) how/why do our institutions allow these frauds to be so prevalent/powerful 2) how do we make the necessary changes 3) how do we help laypeople distinguish between ideologues and real academics?
For some numbers - Diablo 3 was one of the best-selling AAA titles with 12 million copies sold in its first year, about 30 million within the first 3 years. The entire Civilization franchise has sold about 40 million copies - Civ 5 & 6 each sold about 8 million copies. At $50/copy, that's about $200M per game, ranging up to about $1.5B for a bestseller over multiple years.

By comparison, Wargaming (a mid-level F2P publisher of World of Tanks, World of Warships, and World of Warplanes) made about $600M in 2015. Fortnite (a bestselling F2P phenomena) made $2.4B in 2018. Pokemon Go (also a huge fad, but one now passe) made about $795M in 2018, and roughly $2B since launch.

The playerbase for these F2P games is more than an order of magnitude bigger than traditional AAA titles, so even though a large percentage players never pay, they still pull in roughly 2-4x what the traditional business model does.

(This is also what's driving the sky-high valuations of Twitch and Discord - all these players use related services even if they don't pay for the game itself. It's also interesting to compare this to movies - games are now comparable to or even exceeding blockbuster movies in revenue potential.)
> maybe a quarter of the people out there in the waiting area don't

That's probably a very low estimate, depending on the ER and region anyway.

The ER is too often used as a general clinic / doctors office, psychiatric ward, or even homeless shelters in many areas. The latter issue with the homeless taking up considerable ER space and hospital beds may be unique to the west coast, where homelessness is far beyond crisis levels.

This is obviously a multifactorial problem at many levels.
Note that "realtor" is a trademarked brand name invented by a trade association to distinguish from the generic "real estate agent".

-An unsurprising, but somewhat amusing tidbit from the article is that Hydro's senior employees got a chance to shine today - while younger employees had only ever operated the plant via SCADA systems taken offline today, the staff closer to retirement ran the show like it was 1975.

A diverse workforce can be a bonus when things go pear-shaped; with any luck Hydro (and others!) take the lesson to heart and train all staff in fallback measures as part of their disaster planning.
You are right that employers want "proof" and butts in seats is a proxy. Having everyone go remote also requires changes to process and communications to keep people in sync. It requires tools and works to get everyone on the same page and keep them there. Most companies don't want to evolve to solve this, it is easier to rent a building.
Other than all the reserved words and major libraries being in English, what do you mean?

How does western philosophy or culture impact software design? I'd argue that how software works is influenced by how computers work, which is influence by how physics works, which is culture-agnostic. You can't possibly say "binary is so Western". So, what, exactly is influenced by the culture / philosophy?

Amphetamines (used to treat ADHD and narcolepsy) and Benzodiazepines (used to treat anxiety disorders) are both well-known to be addictive. Benzodiazepines in particular can have fatal withdrawal symptoms if a patient quits them cold turkey.

SSRIs and SNRIs both have horrible withdrawal symptoms and can take months for patients to taper off if they decide to quit or change their meds.

SSRIs and SNRIs do not really meet the threshold for being considered addictive, however, since they do not induce any kind of euorphia, intoxication or immediate relief of depressive/anxious feelings.

Amphetamines and Benzodiazepines have a much higher potential for abuse, which is why prescriptions for them are carefully monitored by drug enforcement agencies.
The size need only be proportional to the amount of hot data. And realistically, it need only be proportional to the amount of hot data that's randomly accessed in small chunks, because that's where the bulk of the improvements will come from.

I wonder why the performance ain't so great. I bet 32GBytes is in principle more than sufficient.
Amazon Private Label Brands Analysis
It really doesn't take much input lag for things to feel sluggish and unresponsive. I've tried to play Rocket League on a Steam Link, and while it was technically _possible_ to do so, there was just enough sluggishness in the controls that it just felt _off_ - like I was at a disadvantage to every other player. Even something as simple as a 2D platforming game can require precise timing of button presses, and it seems unlikely to me that Stadia or any other similar service will be able to fully address this. I'd love to be proven wrong, however.
This is going to be so cool....if it works.

I wonder where the instances will be? Will they put them in their regions, or will it be rolled out to their CDN POPs?
> Maybe this is incorrect but it's rarely the middle man stepping in to take the bullet.

Yes, the seller is the party responsible. However, if he hired an agent and was relying on the agent's advice, the seller can sue the agent. That is the difference between hiring an agent and doing it yourself. You are basically paying the brokerage to insure you against sticking your foot in your mouth, and the brokerage -- to limit their liability in the first place -- gives you an agent who tells you how not to screw yourself.

As you yourself said, once you threatened to sue, the agencies started getting stuff done. That's the point. If you didn't use them, you would have no one to shift the blame to.

> That being said I do believe it's s scam that realtors in a legacy mindset are offended when negotiating their rate comes up - regardless of their work put into the sale of the home

As someone who believes in the free market, I of course do not object to wanting to negotiate rates, but if no agent is willing to do it, well then, they're just charging what the market will bear. You are, of course, free to sell your home and take on the liability yourself.
Are you sure Firefox doesnt check the signature if you use that menu item?
Probably: "We used that code, and it harmed us in some way (e.g. we had to give someone money for something). You wrote that code. It is your fault. You have to pay us that money now."
CRSF is not an issue for JSON API endpoints, since cross-origin requests are disabled by default.

XSS in my experience is best solved by a reasonable templating language. The same way you don't use string concatenation to insert user data into HTML documents, you don't use string concatenation to insert user data into SQL queries. Frameworks don't add anything here that you don't already have, and a lot of frameworks let you choose your templating system anyway.

This was a big reason to use frameworks in past days, though.
Can I buy just the controller? Sure does seem the PS4 controller is about the best out there for most gaming, and I've been hesitant to buy anything else. This controller seems just as well made.
-On the contrary, Norwegian newspapers stress that Hydro is restoring data from recent backups and to heck with the blackmailers.
This is a major reason I don’t like to work from home any more than necessary. I would also never go full time remote, because, as another commenter says, comp is usually based on cost of living. If I’m delivering the same value in, say, Arizona vs California, why should I get penalized for living somewhere that isn’t insanely expensive?
Its possible. I didn't run any numbers or look at patch levels. It just went from running AD FS flawlessly on one to being barely usable over RDP on the other. Now I'm interested and might have to dig up which AMIs I've been through.
What more features? All can be done in javascript, without making users install garbage, without spending extra resources. I prefer companies spend their resources on improving the product instead of implementing same thing thrice.

What most people dont realize is web apps are a boon to linux people. Most companies would not develop for linux at all.
Really impressed with this batch! These companies seem to be targeting a lot of really cool hard tech problems which is great to see.

In particular, a lot of super cool next-gen transportation: electric planes (Heart Aerospace), jetpacks/bikes (Jetpack Aviation), hydrofoil cargo ships (Boundary Layer Technologies).
Also seems to be a big focus on India, China and Africa, and a big increase in the proportion of bio/med-tech companies. There are even two (2) companies turning CO2 into cool stuff (Prometheus turning it into gasoline and Saratoga Energy converting it into nanotubes).

Feeling very optimistic about the future and looking forward to reading what Day 2 has in store.

Bonus: seems to be a handful of Harry Potter themed company names (not counting Centaur of course).
You still paid the seller's agent.
> Can someone explain why it seems such hard to resolve problem elsewhere while it seems hardly a problem at all here?

Because politics is broken in the US. There is a ton of lobbying money that is spent to ensure this problem does not get effectively resolved.

About what year (and month) would that be? Trying to find a copy. Sounds like a useful doc to have for situations like travelling, hiking, picnics, etc.
When I visited SF and the valley a while back I wondered about all the low rise buildings in many areas. Homes with 2 stories max. While I think it’s an essential part of the areas’ culture I wondered why the space above is left unused. Because of geological reasons? Esthetic reasons?
How many years until its canceled and our game libraries erased from all existence?
There are such things as dynamically sourced, or generated, images. On-the-fly-computed SVG data visualisations might be such a case.

Generally, I'd agree that authoring time is some 9X% solution, though there remain edge cases.
You can upload and download video streams just fine without any Javascript.
> could be as simple as a penalty for breaking one of their webmaster guidelines.

Agree. Could also be for not having a mobile-friendly version, or for not using AMP.

Still, even if google does nothing illegal here and acts in good faith, do you think it’s OK to de-prioritize relevant search results based on these technicalities?

As a consumer, when I search stuff in a desktop browser, I don’t give a damn about mobile versions nor webmaster guidelines. I want search results relevant to my search query. Arbitrary limitations imposed on web masters by search engine decrease quality of results.
It's true that these substances can change you. But then it is worth asking, who are you? And is that anything worth holding on to? And what is normalcy, and what exactly is that worth?
Sounds like the usual methods to get around public sector limitations on employee pay.
The problem is nobody wants to live in Madison WI.

If you're a top performing engineer you're likely to want to head straight to the epicenter of tech innovation. You want to knock heads with the best of 'em, and that isn't in Madison WI or any other small town.
I guess the hope is to get on the front page of HN and hope someone in Play policy team sees it? Pretty sad way of handling it. I wonder if this was an automated action? I also wonder why that personal account was terminated.
Seems like they're trying to squeeze somewhere between pickup services (e.g. MealPal) and delivery services (e.g. Uber Eats). Cheaper than delivery thanks to reduced labor and logistics costs, more expensive than pickup services because those costs still exist. I guess they're banking on people being willing to pay a little more than pickup service rates in exchange for more options.
There is an addon for firefox: "i don't care about cookies" which removes such popups. I think it works well, because I can't remember cookie-popups on desktop.

This is interesting, there's something deep in many humans' tendency to follow.

I wonder if it has something to do with being in a world (i.e., a "system") that people are still trying to understand? Over time, science tools like microscopes and telescopes have helped individuals shift their thoughts on the way the world works. I wonder what the next breakthrough tools will be to help us advance our grasp of the world?
