This was written by my coworker, Kilian Cavalotti. We have two main file stores: $SCRATCH is a Lustre cluster, which is extremely performant but doesn't do well with lots of inodes. And $HOME is a multi-node Isilon, which can handle all the inodes, but is not as performant. And we have users who sometimes like to put many files in single directories.

The acronym SIDS really does a disservice to parents by obfuscating the fact that babies die as a result of being accidentally asphyxiated by a sleeping parent. How many lives could be saved by an acronym like 'Accidental Parental Baby Asphyxiation' that raises awareness of what's going on and how to prevent it?

I find it somewhat difficult to work at a company with a UX team. It is just another stakeholder you have to take care of. One more obstacle to get anything done as a developer.
Hey there! I’m really interested in this idea, as I hold daily office hours for my free manager mentoring program (shameless plug, link is in my profile).

I have daily sessions and currently use Calendly to handle coordination. It allows me to cap the number of sessions to one per day, while letting people pick slots in my calendar that haven’t been filled by work meetings. It’s worked well to date, but I’m hitting limits of the software as I have other mentors who want to join but calendly doesn’t have great advanced settings to load balance across multiple people with limits.

In essence, I want to be able to have a mentor take up to N calls per day, and rotate between other mentors when that person’s calendar is full. Right now it only lets me set global limits across all team members.

If you’re going to be doing any sort of discovery, I’d love to be listed as well. My email is in my profile if you want to collaborate.
So, what you're saying is, Uber is committed to accessibility when its easy for them and there's big PR points to score. That's probably correct.

I'm pretty sure commercial leases are more likely 10 year leases.

And I'd imagine the risk is broadly similar to residential rentals, e.g. trouble evicting tenants, the tenant damaging your property.
Ok, I didn't think about it but it might depend on countries. AFAIK only businesses needs token devices to do a wire transfer in Europe - at least in France (for individuals you usually need to register your phone number with your bank and add beneficiaries to a white list via text message confirmation for wire transfers in the SEPA zone) everything else is freely accessible via the website.
> with huge barriers to entry that requires a ton of money to get started

Just a note that the proof of concept stage was very cheaply done. Travis hired someone to make an app and the "dispatch" system was just a single php page. He then tested it out with his friends.

That said, I agree that ultimately to get to the position they are today required a ton of cash - just the getting started was pretty cheap.

Actually we have the blow-by-blow of how it all played out on our podcast since Jason was employee #7 and built out the original node dispatch system.

It's not really that hard.

Personal email server will send ~100 emails a month (maybe 1000 if they are extra prolific). Roughly half of those emails will be in reply to emails that originated on your mail server (you can link those with basically unique message-ids that you generated). There will be a bunch of extra safety measures on the server (reverse DNS, SPF records, no open relay...).

Spammers, on the other hand, will send thousands of messages every hour. And have none of that "other" stuff.

Commercial leases are normally much longer than residential leases: 5-10 years is typical. Restaurants also normally require extensive renovations to the space, which then have to be ripped out at additional cost to make the space usable for the next tenant.

Don't believe the hype. Any KSP nerd can work out how many sats would be needed for coverage at a given altitude (thousands to keep two above horizon in leo). Then any networking nerd can work out the number of hops and downlink stations needed (hundreds). Those thousands of sats will also need to be replaced as quickly as 10-15% per year, unless they are going to get their own propulsion systems, seriously multiplying their cost of launch/operation.

Take a look at the difficulties in setting up downlink stations at a global scale. To facilitate the dreamed bandwidth the number of hops between satellites will have to be as low as possible. Hundreds of large base stations will be needed. New land must be purchased, new laws passed, and old laws abolished. Unless spaceX intends to have Musk elected to the presidencies of many nations, the regulatory hurdles alone will take decades.

So UBER is just an more advanced cab company. You call a driver to drive you from A to B.

Windows 10 and Windows 7 Cumulative Updates Released with Fixes
I find it mind-blowing that Gmail's algorithm doesn't lean more on users to train the spam filters...instead of top-down arbitrary keyword filters & rules that constantly result in false positives.

Apparently human users are trustworthy enough to train 4,000 lb self-driving cars to not kill humans via CAPTCHA. Why the hell can't we rely more on humans to train the spam filter?

It could solve literally every issue with email deliverability today. It's clear the current algorithms are simply not sophisticated enough to do this job properly. Hell, gmail can't even properly discern the difference between an "Update" and a "Promotion." Every dev-related newsletter I'm subscribed to (all of which I want to receive) randomly alternates between those two tabs each week.

To be honest, I highly doubt Google is using any sophisticated Machine Learning algorithms inside Gmail. It doesn't seem like a big priority for them. The space is ripe for a competitor to come in.

I would LOVE to have an email address where I was 100% confident in the spam filter, didn't hide a large portion of my emails behind disappearing tabs, and had more control over what categories my messages go to. Any alternatives out there I should be using?

Your reliance on "logic" and not statistical training (it appears you don't have much) has lead you astray. Read the other replies to my comment to understand why you haven't understood.
Thanks for sticking your neck out. When these kinds of articles happen, it often feels like a witch hunt.

How extensively does the Gmail team test interoperability with other mail systems? From my personal experience, one sin committed by many teams who in say they play nice with the ecosystem is to neglect to test integration against other players in the ecosystem. It's annoying to test and slows down development pace, so frequently no developer wants to do it. This leads to a situation where it may be unintentional, but there is definitely a "favored client."

The risk of death with cosleeping is always higher than not cosleeping. It's even higher if either parent drinks or smokes.

Of course, these are public health interpretations of the data which are applied across a population. Individual parents need to do their own risk / benefit analysis.

Also, people sometimes mean different things by the term "cosleeping". In this thread it seems to be mostly people talking about parents and the child sleeping in a bed, but some people include parent and child sleeping on a sofa or in a chair. This (couch or chair cosleeping) is riskier than bed cosleeping.

I think that if you were to poll the users of an OS about what matters to them, the language it was implemented in would be at the absolute bottom of the list.

It may matter to the author of the article. That's fine. To the users? I'm pretty sure that hardtoreason correctly reflects their attitude.

And if you're writing an OS, but don't care about the users? Well, write it however matters to you, because you aren't likely to have users who care, because you aren't likely to have users at all.
> A bunch of fun but barely-profitable things can exist here, that could never exist in a city, simply because of how hostile dense urban economics is to human beings.

The same kinds of things can exist in dense urban environments when they're otherwise terrible places to live, like NYC up-thru the '90s.

I would say or write that they're 'aggressive', not hostile. There's lots of reasons why the (economics of the) same areas are perceived to be incredibly welcoming. Density itself is (or can be) amazing, e.g. more (potential) customers, many more competing employers.

Yes, I know Chez Scheme, and I know about the excitement around Lisp in the 80s, and now Clojure is giving Lisp a bit of a resurgence. I assure you that Lisp still has fans in the Java team today. I also know about various cool features in various runtimes -- we monitor the field closely and learn from everyone, but as those who've built the most successful programming runtime in the history of computing, which is also one of the most successful and capable Lisp runtimes in the history of computing, and also made not one but several breakthroughs in JIT compilation, garbage collection and low-overhead monitoring, the Java team knows a thing or two, as well, especially about which features have a big impact.
I had a similar reaction to that statement. Google tends to make the happy path quite pleasant, but the moment you stray from it, things get kafkaesque very, very quickly.

Saying this from firsthand experience as a customer of Google's B2B offerings, Google earned its bad reputation on the enterprise side.

Saying this after a good number of years as a PM: when you spend 40-50 hours a week thinking about your product, it's really easy to get lost in the weeds and forget that your users see your product from a totally different perspective than you do. I see this all the time because it's very, very difficult to avoid this problem.

Burgess did well. He also wrote '1985', a sort of 'Nineteen Eighty Four' takeoff, but not nearly as powerful.

I read many of his writings, and he was OK for the 20th century, but I'm afraid that 'Clockwork Orange' will be his monument, Kubrick-aided.
A courier is clearly a little over the top (though maybe not totally absurd: a faculty search costs tens of thousands of dollars).

I would expect both sides to make a bit of effort. Applicants should check their spam folders and follow up, especially if there's a known timeline (American grad school offers need to be extended and accepted by the 15th of April, for example).

Institutions should maybe not rely on only an unreliable, unacknowledged form of communication. Since the applications usually collect phone numbers and addresses, a phone call or letter would be a very reasonable follow up; neither costs more than 50¢ to use. I think all of the PhD programs that accepted me did call and it seems like a good way not only to notify, but to actively recruit.

>The owners of the building are sitting in the most enviable position in the economy — just by owning the asset, they will get money in the form of appreciation, from work done by other people.

You mean like a savings account? Or a treasury bond? Or stocks? Or gold? There is such a thing as opportunity cost. The money that went into buying the property, as well as the money continually spent in maintaining it (from repairs, to taxes, to insurance, to advertising for renters, to managing renters) could have been spent on something else, like an index fund - which, without any effort, could net you a nice 7% return.

You're also missing the risk profile. Property values could crash at any moment, and take all the capital along with it. It happened in 2008 to many people. Could happen again at any time. Historically, real estate hasn't been the best store of value nor provided the best rate of return on your investment.

If you think it's that easy, you should try it.
Non-SIMD algorithms work better in some cases, for example if you look up the same key over and over (so the control flow is predictable) or when all of the data is in the L1. The SIMD approach tends to be more robust inside a larger program where there's less chance for branch prediction and caching to help you.
How are you able to guarantee that?

I don't have a "who is a good company" algorithm, it's pretty complex and outward seeming behaviours don't always reflect what's going on inside , and our own interpretive judgements from past negative experiences can colour our approach to new opportunities, like if a founder doesn't call you back, or plays hardball on contract terms, might trigger something personal that doesn't reflect the true nature of the business - as I say it's too complex to codify.

For me personally the logical starting point is identifying what is important to ourselves. I won't say a "wolfpack" organisation that tears shit up and thinks about consequences later is any less valid than a more open and considered organisation. So any method, to me, starts with identifying our own values and goals.

I made a spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18frXcsVnPoa8tIxdVCqf...) to help identify my value "pillars", quantify their meaning to me in terms of fulfilment, then guide the process of satisfying those values. I try to explain it here https://medium.com/@aparker/spreadsheets-for-the-mind-de1c19...

Whatever method is used, figuring out what you actually desire is the hardest part, I find. Maybe I'd be happier herding cattle in northern Australia? I wouldn't know if I didn't take the time to lay it out.

I think once you know what it is you actually want, then it's much easier to answer your question, because until you know yourself, you're just bouncing from one situation to the next without full agency.

Assuming you know your goals, desires, pillars etc, then a lot of it comes down to experience. Investigate the history of the company you're interviewing for - do they align? Ask questions in the interview that put them on the spot regarding your values, they probably won't call back but that's a bullet dodged. Talk to people who have worked there before.

Do your research, search for local meetups, startup companies, be active in the community, stay in touch with colleagues and friends and always be ready to meet with someone new for a coffee. Hard to do between the 9-5, there's no instant formula, but chip away at it and build up a network of people you trust and respect, and who trust and respect you.

It has taken me the best part of 40 years to get to this point though, sometimes you just have to swing it but knowing yourself is the first step I think, as you're no longer walking into interviews as the "candidate", instead you're walking into interviews as the guy who they need (and if they don't need you, that's fine, everyone dodges a bullet).

Yeah, I had a huge improvement in my posture from a lifting regimen, it really counteracts the bad habits from sitting all day. Deadlifts and front squats feel like they're the most effective. The great thing about lifting is that it trains your muscles to want to hold correct posture (as in, you don't need to constantly remember to sit up straight). Wish I had gotten introduced to lifting earlier in life, it always seemed like some intimidating thing that was just for the bros club.
The situation is I apply to 4 jobs, 1 requests spec work requiring a couple days of dedicated time while the rest are happy with what's in my portfolio. That 1 job is less of a priority compared to the others.

The same applies to 8 hour interviews or multiple interviews. It might not be common place, but I've learned to ask upfront about the start-to-finish hiring process.

I'm not saying its unwarranted or even a hidden cost to the business--just that it raises the burden and likely will filter out qualified candidates. I do think networking and shared experiences you mentioned should be thought about. That's often the best/cheapest way to get qualified candidates (why referral bonuses are a thing). If candidates are telling each other informally or on something like GlassDoor how onerous the interview process is, you have to compensate by reaching out with things like ads and job fairs and do the filtering yourself.
