Show HN: Arnoldum.com – collection of audio quotes from Arnold's movies
I'm an actuary - from your site bio it appears you may be as well. As you know, P/C insurance carriers have been using machine learning for quite some time. What is it that you are doing differently?
Hello everyone,
Would like to share with you results of my passion for Arnold Schwarzenegger's movies!
I have created a simple app (next, express, firebase, react, redux...) to play Arnold's quotes online anywhere, so he is with me everywhere I go.

You can search by character, movie, year of the movie or simply by quote. You can also share the specific quote with friends!

So I was thinking that it would be great to also give you the opportunity to enjoy mighty Arnold!

Go check it out and any feedback appreciated!
Migrating to Unified Logging: Console and Instruments
I would argue that what makes code "good" is completely subjective which is why I don't spend too much time thinking about it.

The only criteria I have for good code these days is "Does it work", "Can I understand it". Everything else is a good IDE's command away for being willed into reality. So I really don't spend too much time on the "good" code debate like I did as a teen reading "Clean Code" and GOF books. I actually wish I could have that time back, I would have read, in their place, books on type theory and OS design, Posix, in other words things that actually help me build stuff and get things done and that I subsequently had to read later. Undo the damage done by the "good code" people that have me thinking about stuff that nobody cares about. Take a month off, read a book on game design in opengl, and write a cool robot simulation or something and remember how much more gratifying that is than writing a small do-nothing program just to try out some useless design pattern that doesn't scale beyond micro-examples.

There is so much varying lit out there on how to write good code that I am surprised that I am surprised if even 2 programmers can truly agree on what good code is. So Again, I'll say that "good" when it comes to code should be equivalent to "easy to understand" and "does the flow of text match the flow of program execution" in other words "is it easy to understand given I am familiar with the problem domain".

More about me

I am a frontend developer for two years now after a late career change at 37 years old. I quit my last job in digital marketing to study software development full-time. After eight months studying, on my own, through free, online resources only, I got a job at a fintech startup.

Here is my blog with more details about my decision to become a software developer and how I learned to code: https://rodrigohgpontes.github.io

I am from Brazil, by the way. Currently, I live in São Paulo, but I am moving to Los Angeles in May, following my wife that was accepted at a Masters program in USC - I will apply to the J2 visa, allowing me to have a work permit.

I receive consistently positive feedback about my communication skills, which I believe I can maintain in English, even it being my second language.

Here is a newsletter I started with written communication tips in English that can serve as evidence of this statement: https://writingfordevelopers.substack.com

I also have a side-project that can serve as evidence that I can get things done on limited time, as well as demonstrate my UX/UI and product skills. It is a SaaS web app for 1:1 meeting management, built in Rails API + Ember.

That's what "the community" here wants, cheaper Internet access (or moar bandwidth without corresponding price hikes), isn't it?

One way to get more bang for the buck is to cut down the costs (eliminate unprofitable services/coverage, and that's what mandatory uneconomical investment in rural bandwidth is, right?)
It's interesting that anything paid for with funny money, like loans, the sale of one's nest egg, or insurance, is wildly overpriced.
Yeah this is just completely wrong. Without getting into specific products, public test sets from the 1990s like Switchboard and WSJ are now at around human-level transcription accuracy rates; 20 years ago the state of the art was nowhere near that.

It's also not objectively a simpler problem. Humans are actually not particularly good at speech recognition, especially when talking to strangers and when they can't ask the speaker to repeat themselves. Consider how often you need subtitles to understand an unfamiliar accent, or reach for a lyrics sheet to understand what's being sung in a song. For certain tasks ASR may be approaching the noise floor of human speech as a communication channel.

GC is only part of the equation. I have always found this article informative: https://marc.info/?l=git&m=124111702609723&w=2

Performance for higher-level languages is usually great in-so-far as you're able to essentially write C code in that higher level language. When the language's limitations inhibit you from writing the C code you want to write, performance usually suffers. In java's case, lack of value types and stack allocation can be a major performance hindrance. Boxing is also a problem, although, as the mailing list post notes, this is easily overcome-able via manual specialization.

That's a good back-of-the-envelope assesment, thanks. Also, very good point about the infrastructure leakage. I didn't know much about the issue, so I took a quick look (1). Iagree - that persistant problem is probably a much bigger issue than intermittent end-use leakage.

My basic point was simply that the U.S. using more natural gas isn't necessarily "great news".

Can you provide an example of a metric that meets this criteria?

Not always. You start with the IP and try to work from there.

My general rule is you (1) never attempt to authenticate to a system. (2) use only publicly available information. Think GET verb only or equivalent. Don’t modify state on purpose. You could do a lot with Jenkins to find an over. Morally, what these guys did is acceptable IMO, but, ethically, no good.

The financial crisis is what happens when we don't have access to credit. Whether the financial industry self-destructs as in 2008 or is destructed by the guillotines outside, you're going to have a hard time getting credit without it. No credit, we'd just be in the 2009 world at steady state.

Ask HN: Should I do a postdoc in ML?
I'm wondering if it is worth it to do a post-doc in Machine Learning. I'm deciding between doing that and taking an okay job at a genetics testing company (bench plus computational). I'm really interested in using ML in genomics/biology, but I've already done 4 years of post-doc in biology, and I want to go into industry eventually. Would it just be better to learn it on my own and try to apply it in my job?

My background is an undergrad in physics and a PhD in Computational Biology both from the Ivy League.

Milton Friedman argued for essentially UBI (he called it "negative income tax") 50 years ago[1]. Unfortunately, selling the American voter on anything "unearned" (I realize the U stands for "universal") that's going to come out of "my taxes" is going to be a long and uphill effort, especially when the mindset of the current administration[2] is in the other direction:

> Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue says the administration thinks these people should be able to get jobs, especially now that the nation's unemployment rate is the lowest it has been in years.

> "People believe that able-bodied people who can work, should work," Tennessee Republican Rep. Scott Desjarlais told Perdue, "Do you have any idea why there might be so much pushback and concerns on this measure?"

> "I have no clue," Perdue responded.

I don't see how we get from there to: "Universal Basic Income (UBI) is a form of social security that guarantees a certain amount of money to every citizen within a given governed population, without having to pass a test or fulfill a work requirement."[3] Fox News can't even discuss UBI without dismissing it out of hand with contempt and mockery[4].

We've got a ways to go to get back even to GWB's "compassionate conservatism," much less a serious discussion of UBI.

I realize how pessimistic I seem. I'm actually pretty excited by some of the current candidates. I think a couple of the candidates[5] have it right when they argue our first priority has to be to restore democracy to the political process[6] and that the way to sell that to Americans is with the notion of fairness.

> Why are you advocating memorization?

Because it's something kids do really well and it's something to take advantage of when learning at that age. In other words, it's better to memorize the multiplication table then find insights into how it work later, and do proofs and make connections with calculating an area of a rectangle etc. A lot of the tricks and insights don't mean anything to the children if they didn't already do many examples the rote, repetitive way and in a lot of cases the "insights" are often a distraction as well. Those should come later. Even more interesting is when children see or discover these tricks or rules on their own, then they become really memorable to them.

I don't have many samples work with, but I have observed this over the years based on my own experience, my kids and my extended family members and I have noticed the same patterns.
> Fortunately for us, we’re competing not only on salary, but freedom, and that shouldn’t be taken lightly.

Personally, my issue with non-monetary compensation is that it can be "altered" much more easily than the money I'm paid.

You can hire with a middling salary and promises like "there's so much freedom, and the food is good!" Then one day I'll notice the food isn't quite as good as it used to be... and oh, hmm, they decided not to offer unlimited vacation anymore... and eventually the freedom doesn't seem as expansive as it once did, the company has goals to hit so I can't work on that cool project I had my eye on... and I realize my goose has been cooked.

But my salary will get paid every two weeks (or whatever), with no messing around.

It's not that I'm only motivated by money, it's more that money is the only thing I can trust I won't get fucked on. After you sign, everything else is negotiable, in the bad way.
