You're Latin American! Impose the right terminology!

This is cultural colonialism from the, typically WASP, urban elite. Who possibly finds Spanish's gendered pronouns annoying? How many are them are native Spanish speakers? And yet they feel slighted and therefore try to impose their (typically poor) Spanish on us!

They ignore that, technically, Spanish has three genders (the neutral which is almost, but not completely, withered away; see "esto/este/esta"). So, even in Spanish, "Latin" would be a far more correct gender neutral form.

They ignore that objects can have multiple genders according to the synonyms used to refer to them.

They ignore that linguistic "gender" has little to do with gender, the term appears to have been coined by Aristotle to refer to sets of nouns, which largely follow gender when applied to people.

Why are on Earth are we accepting of unpronounceable adjectives and nouns (the -nX soup of constants being especially unpronounceable for us native Spanish speakers!)
Tecton | UI, Data-Viz, Backend, Data Infra | San Francisco & New York City | Onsite

At Tecton, we are building a new kind of AI infrastructure that is transforming the way companies solve real-world problems with machine learning at scale. Our founding team created Uber's Michelangelo ML Platform (https://eng.uber.com/michelangelo/), which has become the blueprint for modern ML platforms in large organizations. We are well funded by top-tier VCs, have paying enterprise customers, and have excellent engineering teams in SF and NYC. We have years of experience building and operating business-critical machine learning systems at scale at places like Uber, Google, Facebook, Quora, and AdRoll.

We’re growing our engineering team and are looking for top UI, data-viz, backend, and data infrastructure (especially Spark and streaming systems) engineers.

Prior experience with machine learning is not required. We are looking for exceptional software engineers who are driven to find simple solutions to complex problems and who are excited to stretch themselves as part of a growing team at the intersection of systems, data, and machine learning.

If you are interested in joining this exciting adventure (or know someone else who would be) please email me at careers@tecton.ai.

Completely insane. I can't understand who came up with and spread it around with a straight face.

"hey we better hire predetermined % of <insert any group that is non-white-christian-men> otherwise we are bigots"

Truly remarkable how insane it is.

I haven't seen a single case where the people that ought to be employed are white Christian men.

Why is that so? Does nobody ask this question? Can it be coincidence that nobody, ever, ever raised an issue that not enough white Christian men were employed?

A lot of illogical and improbable things, and IMHO it's just not a coincidence. But I don't have good understanding on why it happens, though.
The VPN tech itself is not the only concern. Localization & payments & legal are also huge concerns beyond the US. This is also aimed at not necessarily tech-savvy folks, so that is also a concern.

Anyone know if there's something weird about OpenVPN that makes it particularly bad? You'd think crypto + UDP encapsulation at consumer internet speeds would be pretty straightforward to implement performantly in this day and age.
>If someone, particularly a marginalized person, brings up an experience they have had but you have not had, your first impulse should be to hear them out, NOT to invalidate them.

The fact that the recounter of a first hand experience is a monirity does not mean that their perspective is automatically valid. And it isn't some mortal sin to question or invalidate the conclusions they draw from experience. It drowns out unpopular (but not necessarily untrue) perspectives and stymies productive conversation.

No one deserves special privileges for having a particular skin color or sexuality. This is exactly the kind of unnecessary segregation that the gp is talking about. It's the first steps along the path that leads to some of us being more equal than others and these pedestals we place minorities on are doing far more harm than good.

Using customer feedback and years of data to launch a swoon-worthy product
Perhaps it does depend on how well you can express a particular way. Probably best to handle it the way that works for oneself.

In the last fifteen years or so of adulthood, I've met few roadblocks. Perhaps I would take a different approach if that's what I saw.

We definitely should not have standardized a worldwide standard design for car engines 40 years into the history of the automobile that everybody is required to implement bug-compatibly and nobody is allowed to change.
That feels like they used the ground work laid with AWS Outposts to enable such smaller auxiliary local zones as well: In both cases the control plane still resides in the "real" region, but the data plane for a local zone and an AWS Outpost is located somewhere else (customer data center or in the case of this local zone somewhere in LAX). I'd even bet that the hardware that they use to power AWS Outposts and such a Local Zone is the same. Of course obviously the scale and the offered services are different.

I've thought along similar lines, but it was never clear to me if such a policy really performs "better" in real-world, politicized policy issues.

Do you know of any supporting examples?
A word or symbol does not represent every single thing that can be free-associated with it. If you want to show that "1" represents the Washington Monument, it is not sufficient (or even necessary) to point out that they're the same shape, you have to show some evidence that there once was a culture that used the symbol "1" whenever they wanted to say "2 15th St NW, Washington, DC."

The author is leaving unstated what we all know to be true: most of these jobs aren't really that hard. You don't really need the people with pedigreed CS backgrounds, but it's easier than actually figuring out how to screen candidates. The "pipeline problem" is the pipeline itself. So you have to go around the pipeline by avoiding the formal education system, which is where the bias is observed.
>Google is 54.4% white, 39.8% asian

it correlates well with what population looks like if you look at the percentiles of 750 Math SAT - 3% of whites, 20% of asian and 1% of the rest of race/ethnicity categories (like African American and Hispanic) make it there:

https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/pdf/sat-percentile...

Multiplying by their representation in the overall population, 61% white, 6% asian and 33% for the rest , we can see that the representation at Google is a very close correlate : (3 x 61) / (20 x 6) / (1 x 33) = 183 / 120 / 33 vs. (54.4 / 39.8 / the rest about 6%)
Not all of China was included, just Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang.

As a general rule I have trusted PIA for years and I now trust your judgement in choosing a partner. Seriously I've considered all alternatives, other companies don't say anything about themselves; who owns the other VPN companies? couldn't find any info. Service has been great, price has been right. and I appreciate the honesty. The fact that you are here responding means a lot; and more than I can say for other companies.
I think if you have all of those things, in toto, in your basement all where they belong, it's normal. Those specific things, hidden in your bedroom, are enough to make your parents ask questions. If he was a homemade pyrotechnics enthusiast, it'd be perfectly normal. Was he?

Also, LOL at the bag of perlite. It's almost as if someone told him to go to the hardware store to buy fertilizer for a "fertilizer bomb", and this guy gets a bag of chemically inert soil amendment instead.

Deep Learning Model Morphs VTube Talking Heads with a Few Mouse Clicks
I'm on IRC constantly via Weechat on a VPS and Weechat-Android connecting my phone.

Servers I use:
irc.tilde.chat
irc.sdf.org
irc.freenode.net
and a few others here and there.

There's a huge amount of IRC usage in the wild still. Major projects use it, like the web-extensions project. Hobbiests have servers and channels gallore. Every programming language has a presence. There's so much to see and explore.
Huh? I'm not sure where you are reading that.

I'm saying that any internalized biases, anxieties, etc are deeply personal whether you are of an in group or an out group. It's totally a mental thing for me to get psyched out in an interview so of course therapy helps.

It's deeply personal but it's also something I know anecdotally is common amongst my peers of similar background. I'm pointing it out as one of the ways an interview can be unintentionally biased.
Gotcha! Thank you! Running a pinning service definitely still has rough edges =/ but I know the Infura team recently open sourced some of the tooling they built to make it a bit easier: https://blog.infura.io/new-tools-for-running-ipfs-nodes-196d.... Might help others who are self hosting a large chunk of data on a persistent node too...

If you ever want to chat about how we can make pinning services on IPFS easier to run, would love to chat! I know cluster has been researching how to improve "IPFS for enterprise" usage and would really appreciate the user feedback!

> I am all in favour of reducing the industry’s reliance on fancy name schools for hiring.

1) The fact that people aren't hiring from schools lower on the list tells me that we have an oversupply of CS majors. If I need an employee, I'll do what I have to to get one--this indicates that most companies don't really need CS people.

2) "60% of software engineers at FAAMNG hold a degree from a top 20 school" isn't automatically damning. Some of those schools simply produce a LOT of students. I seem to remember something like University of Illinois produces almost 20% of all engineers graduated annually. Silicon Valley also may simply have a local bias because Berkeley and Stanford are literally next door.

3) If I had a chance to direct a talented female in terms of college study, I would point her at engineering, not CS. Engineering has its own bias problems, but seems to be a lot less toxic than CS. It also seems to have better geographic spread of jobs than CS right now.

buymeacoffee.com has a single use coffee cup in their logo, while ko-fi.com has an environmentally friendly reusable cup. Might sound trivial because it is just virtual, but some may argue it is an indication of thought processes and values.

Nice idea though. You could have a Buy Me A Coffee link on your own site for those who like the idea but aren't customers.
Ah. Of those, I've used Linode and OVH. Neither ever gave me grief for having IRC, but I also ensured that I never had botnets connecting to me, which is what most of them don't like dealing with. I've never tried 1and1, Hetzner (ive heard good things about them), HostGator or Liquidweb.

I am certain that Linode won't give you any grief as long as you make some effort to keep botnets from abusing your service.
Yo. Two points here.

* You can absolutely stay within structured concurrency constraints using ASGI.

* The ASGI spec doesn’t have anything to do with asyncio. It’s purely an async/await interface - You can build against it just fine using other concurrency backends.

Although I agree with you on points 1-3, point 4 is no longer the case as of this last year or two. Most people are only interested in the main apps such as YouTube, Netflix, Disney+ etc. My 2019 Samsung TV OS is not only fast and smooth but those apps are as good, if not better than the same ones found on an Apple TV. Compared to a crappy Android box the experience is far better.

Why have a seperate device and two remotes when you don't have to? I'm convinced that the marketshare for these external media devices will flatline and steadily decline. In the case of Apple, the only way they can try to compete in the future is releasing their own standalone TV panel. I suppose they saw the writing on the wall which is why AirPlay and Apple TV are now available on Samsungs TV OS

I agree 100%: if it provides good enough suggestions, it could pay for itself pretty easily on regular day-to-day PRs. (Although: not all 500 line PRs are made equal.)

My original comment was definitely unclear. I actually had two separate thoughts (that I didn't communicate well at all):

(1) if your team has occasional large, automated PRs (code generation, automated refactors, etc), you probably don't want to run this tool on them because of cost, so anyone that has these large PRs and uses CodeGuru probably needs to build a way into their automation to suppress CodeGuru (or build a way to invoke it for specific PRs)

(2) I also wonder if it's good enough to justify the price on regular PRs

We don't have many situation (1) PRs where I work now, but they do come up occasionally. For example, I've used IntelliJ IDEA's structural find-and-replace to do very large automated refactors where CodeGuru would be very expensive and probably provide little value. We also do check in some generated code (we usually don't do this, but there are a couple exceptions where we weighed the tradeoffs and decided checking in the generated code was a better solution, in our eyes).

An AWS region consists of several availability zones (AZ's) which consist of several data centers running AWS' hardware. Each region is designed in a way that services provided by it can tolerate the loss of a availability zone. A local zone is now something like an additional availability zone with the important difference that it only runs a subset of services of a regular availability zone and doesn't feature its own control plane (which are the services AWS needs to run all this infrastructure including API endpoints, etc.). Instead the control plane of the local zone just runs the so called data plane which is what contains the services used by their customers.

The fact that they're not an advertising company? That their business model doesn't depend on monetizing your personal data? That being privacy-oriented is a distinguishing factor compared with their competition?
The basic issue with this criticism of Cargo is that the fact that updating dependencies can cause breakage never actually goes away. The package management tool either makes this problem easy, or it makes it hard. The approach Cargo chooses is to make "cargo update" more likely to work by allowing library authors to specify incompatibilities. This can go wrong in edge cases. But that's inherent to the problem itself. Minimum version selection only seems to work because it doesn't actually solve the problem of keeping dependencies up to date. The moment you want to do that, you're stuck with "go get -u", which is just a worse version of "SAT solving" because it doesn't know how to detect and avoid incompatibilities.

(As an aside, I don't like the term "SAT solving" for the problem of package version selection. By focusing on an implementation detail, it makes the problem seem scarier than it actually is. Register allocation is NP hard too, but nobody calls the register allocator "the SAT solver".)
You will need very powerful hardware to deploy the deep learning models on-prem for incremental learning.

And most of the time, while not indexing, the hardware would be sitting there sleeping. Probably not very cost-effective for enterprises.

As others point out, contract brewing is definitely a thing, but a better comparison than cloud computing would be shared hosting: you're stuck with whatever stack they happen to have installed, no admin rights, and you get the same dismal bandwidth as all other tenants. Or back to brewing: yup, the process is fairly standard – and how could it not be – but great breweries tend to be great not just because they have good recipes, but often because they have mastered their gear and have perfected their processes across the board. Only very few contract breweries are that good.
I definitely believe you and I think plenty of good devs have just a boot camp education, but I've also had a conversation with someone who came out of a dev boot camp and was very upset that they weren't treated like any other dev in the job market.

This is rather interesting development. Just last week I saw similar feature in IBM Watson being demoed on IBM Cloud. And now AWS Sagemaker has this capability.

Does this mean that going forward, for small-to-mid size IT companies and Corporates, the demand for Data scientists and ML developers would decrease?
