I think it was funny to presume that the employer wouldn't pay for it. At one of my old roles I had a second laptop I used solely for VMs just because I ran out of space on primary workstation. A simple fix orders of magnitude cheaper for a developer compared to more ESXi or cloud hardware.
(OP here)

It appeared to me as though they deleted my domain registration from their system. That's mostly why I freaked out. I wasn't sure if I'd even be able to transfer my registration easily.

However, on the advice of someone from HN, I found that if I went through the flow of linking an external domain to my cloudflare account the registration details came back.
This is absolutely true. It was just as easy to fire someone as it was to hire someone, so hiring was a lower risk activity.

But even so, most people did not get fired, contrary to popular belief. I don't remember the stats, but almost no one was fired within their first year for example.

I often recommend reading this essay. The conception of LP described (and embodied) is only tenuously related to modern systems claiming to be LP, and what's presented is really interesting.

That said, I still find myself unsure how it translates into practice. Does anyone have experience working on a system described this way? In particular, I wonder what refactors feel like, and how general problems around stale documentation apply (or fail to).
As someone who accidentally met their partner of 6yrs while looking for casual sex on OkCupid, and someone who is and was just on Grindr earlier... no. No.

Grindr's great. I'm proud of us queer folk for eschewing the shame and ironic "pomp and circumstance" of sex culture in the US, but, in my opinion, Grindr is NOT an example of how to fix dating apps for the masses, or for straight people.

(Though, and I don't say this to be mean or directly to who I'm replying to... I can certainly see why a straight man looking for sex would envy Grindr. At the same time, talk to any queer therapist or psychiatrist in the [large city] metro area and ask them about the mental effects of Grindr/Scruff on the LGBT community. It's a double-edged sword. What does it mean when there are literally thousands of horny men around you and NONE of them are talking to you?)

That all having been said, while reading this thread and seeing the number of men saying "I get dates and I'm not attractive", I'm realizing that either (1) the bar really just is lower for gay men on Grindr or (2) I'm better looking than I give myself credit for...

Also, I can't +1 enough what `nerdjon` said. Really condenses it down nicely.

> some of the most promising applications of psychadelics are for treating things like treatment resistant depression.

The most promising applications for psychedelics are studied in conjunction with intensive therapy sessions before, during, and after the psychedelic dose.

The problem is that too many people read this articles and conclude that the drug is doing all the work, ignoring the rigorous therapy that surrounds the psychedelic dosing in all of the clinical studies.

My point was that taking LSD in your basement alone is not 1:1 equivalent to the clinical research that uses LSD as an ingredient in a structured therapy program. Even this article explains LSD use in the context of therapy. Yet people read these articles and assume that LSD operates as a standalone wonder drug.
Yeah, it asked who was the director of the CIA from 1976-1981. I answered "George Bush" (lazy, typing on phone), it answered the more exact "George H. W. Bush". It marked me correct, but it was marked wrong. It also asked me what country the island of "Honsh" was in (should be Honshu). I answered Japan and was correct, though. It guessed Iceland.
I saw this at Kubecon 2018 and even got a sweater from the folks there. The idea of an all-in-one soup-to-nuts system is pretty unusual these days.

So, this is a fascinating project. I don't know how I'd introduce it at a company though. Maybe in a skunkworks group or something. Possibly if I was working as some sort of middleware-integrator group.

The JVM bits don't bother me, but it does make things heavierweight than I'd like.

Curious if anyone is using it, it seems to have tons of potential.
No, this isn’t likely at all. The reason they are undercounting cases is because the cases not being counted are mild. If some of those mild cases go on to die, it’s pretty unlikely that it’s due to misdiagnosed severe atypical pneumonia.

Absolutely no reputable sources have advanced this theory, just people who are scaring each other on HN and reddit.

To summarize: undercounting mild cases is definitely happening. Undercounting of covid deaths is extremely unlikely to be happening. Therefore, we know that the current death rates are overestimates of the real values.

These are facts.

I’ve heard it explained that every ‘great’ civilization has a ‘great’ energy source, and that slavery was Rome’s energy source. Much of especially the late Roman empires expansion and conquest can be seen through a lens of needing to capture more slaves. Not a historian, but I’ve heard that argument at least.
Now a days DL models are becoming commodities very fast. By the time you train NN to solve a particular problem, a new efficient model is out somewhere and is available public. So you need to go through the process entirely or else you risk losing business. Unless your NN is so unique like you are handcrafting your own in which case you take lot of time to arrive at a best model and you need more PhDs.

Except you can bet that a lot of cases will end up with a battle of back and forth emails arguing over whose fault it was and who should pay the $100.

The vast majority of support tickets are the customers 'fault'. They'll be things like setting up DNS records incorrectly, believing they don't need to pay a renewal with their old registrar just because they moved their DNS over to cloudflare, frustrations over cached resources, etc.
JavaScript was used for very simple things when it was launched. Most pages used it for modifying button images when you hover or press a button, and for handling some web form operations. As others say JavaScript was very confusing, a programming language that was launched with Java in its name and to fill gaps in HTML limitations but there was no clear direction towards web app programming. Another confusing aspect was that Java was created for this purpose (to create web apps via applets).

We should not forget Macromedia Flash, it was a very interesting option offering a better programming language but it was not an standard with an open source reference.

He has elementary textbooks on calculus and differential equations, as well, so you get an entire development from precalculus all the way to topology and analysis from the coherent viewpoint of a legit (but sympathetic) mathematician.
I think that's a perfectly reasonable position to take and is more generous than the alternative (as someone who dropped out of a degree program, I can attest that I wasn't able to return any of my student loans 6 weeks into the semester. I checked).

I wasn't trying to talk past you. My original comment was that a specific complaint about the amount owed being 40% after 4 weeks, despite 4 weeks not representing 40% of the program, could be addressed by tying payment directly to portion of curriculum covered. You responded that this is how it works, but you redefined the denominator in the proportion from the original complaint.

I don't think you're doing this in bad faith, I'm legitimately just trying to point out a response something that is clearly a frustration isn't translating how you intended.
Indeed.

Microsoft also exposed all of that HTML/JS engine as COM or whatever component, so it could be used by applications other than browser.

I remember using Microsoft Money -- personal accounting software -- and it seemed to be all built on that HTML/JS engine.
As I don't have a lot of time to investigate at this moment - is this intended to be a generally-standalone guide that one could use to learn OCaml? I'm guessing not, since it doesn't seem to dive in too deep into any subject, just giving a very broad overview.
There's a few legitimate issues with OCaml syntax that have been fixed by Reason at least. E.g. `match`/`if` not having an `end` means you need to use parens or `begin`/`end` to nest match and have ; inside of an `if` body. There's also some ambiguity between functional `if` and imperative `if` in some situations.

There are many viewpoints. As a counter example, consider the article for one of the topics you mention ("truly of interest to the community"). A user could come across a concept (or person, place, etc.) that they aren't familiar with, click a link, find a short and formulaic but truthful summary, then return to continue reading - all within their own wikipedia. That's useful.

In my second compiler design course, we were told we could use any language. I (jokingly) asked whether we could choose shell, and consider a C compiler a feature of the language. I was (in the same spirit) informed that it would be cheating.
Fileformats.info is a thing. You could try and add it to their wiki, then you would have a "reliable" source for the English Wikpedia. Specialized websites are usually considered "reliable" for that purpose.

You know, thanks to Hyrum's Law https://www.hyrumslaw.com/ , there's a variant of this in many engineering contexts: you can never remove functionality directly, you can only add new functionality, deprecate (but maintain) the old ones, and kill it once everyone has moved.

Put that way, it's surprising that people haven't felt incentivized to ship the smallest and most replaceable things.

"Which is that programmers naturally want to build perfect tools while the business need tends to be for a quick and dirty solution that can be assembled out of prebuilt pieces"

I spent quite a few years trying to balance different kinds of speed in "quick and dirty solutions" - speed of writing, speed of execution, speed of understanding...and the risk of failure. To me, that's infinitely more interesting and enjoyable than an unconstrained environment or just one dimension of optimization.

> What sort of performance do you get with TensorFlow vs other implementations of Needleman-Wunsch?

TensorFlow runs > 10,000 instances of the Needleman-Wunsch algorithm in parallel. But I believe each instance of algorithm runs in serial. This is very efficient if all the sequences are roughly the same length, allowing for millions of sequences to be processed each second.

> What scores did you use for gap opens and extensions?

Another great question! There are two gap penalties. One for skipping weights and one for skipping features. If I know there are always more features than weights, then I set the penalty for skipping a feature to zero. This does not penalize the model for having more features than weights. I then set the penalty for skipping weights to a value approximating negative infinity. This ensures every weight is used and is not wasted.
To be fair, many antidepressants and stimulants can lead to psychotic episodes in vulnerable patients. This happens a non-trivial amount in Bipolar-I patients taking antidepressants. It's a stated side effect that psychiatrists take into account.

However, I agree with the general sentiment of your comment, especially given that pharma drugs that trigger episodes would do over the course of months whereas a psychadelic can do it in an hour.
Okay, I can see that, but it's related in my opinion because even in low-context cultures, the average person is "medium context", using social interactions and concerns as their primary way to communicate and coordinate. Us "logic-striving" (LS) people are really the low-context people in that we wish to clarify and debate assumptions and choices instead of let "the flow of the group" determine that organically and/or socially. Medium context people may make a passing suggestion, but won't challenge it further if the boss says "no". Us LS-ers are more likely to ask for specifics regardless of rank. We believe the merit of an idea should trump rank.

High-context: don't challenge authority, except via subtle hints.

Medium-context: lightly challenge authority, and quickly back down if counter-challenged.

High-context: authority is secondary to idea merit.

I do realize a group can waste too much time debating, but even important/common issues often get flattened by social concerns in a typical US office.

One related "problem" I've encountered is when the 2nd iteration of something turns out better than the 1st (and the 3rd, 4th, 5th get subsequently better). Perhaps not as big of a problem when you're making stone tiles, or some other output, but it sure does suck to have one good sock and one "eh" sock.
I failed my interview with Amazon and I blame them. They tried to rush me to an onsite after passing my online coding assessment. 4 different recruiters were in contact with me about the same position. Review materials were sent 5 days before the interview, I didn't know what Leadership Principles were before then. Travel arrangements weren't made until 3 days before the interview. A prep phone call where the recruiter tells me what DS&A material to focus on wasn't scheduled until 2 days before the interview. Material I was told not to focus on by one recruiter was brought up in one of my interviews. Another had such crippling anxiety that he couldn't finish a sentence making for a very agonizing hour where I made little progress on the parts of the questions/problems he could communicate.

I did the best I could given the circumstances and I have no regrets. Had I somehow passed it would've been very difficult to accept an offer given how chaotic the whole experience was.
As has been discussed multiple times here on HN, it is highly debatable that apps like Tinder work for more than a minority of men at one end of the age spectrum, and women at the other.

There are possibly therefore other gatekeeping opportunities to consider along with those you suggest and the brilliant parent "lemon market" comment, subject to the scale barrier noted.

My profile isn't necessarily shy, but all of these things have happened and yes, it is expected to be part of the territory.

1. People calling me by my name in the first message. Because they know me and think its funny, despite them having no profile picture nor identifying themselves, etc.

2. Nudes. Lots. Unsolicited. Every angle, every sight, no crevice left un-illuminated.

3. A level of straight-forwardness that I'm not even comfortable fully describing here, as an example, on a throwaway. Near-interrogations about interest in fetishes, positions or play-by-plays of what is going to go down on a given meetup.

4. Calculation. Every gay man on Grindr knows the game. "You interested?". If the answer is "yes", then the answer is "maybe" - they're talking to someone hotter and seeing if it will work out. If it was going to work out, you'd have swapped numbers or one person would be on the move. There's games here too.

5. Bluntless. Such a time saver when someone says "not interested, good luck hunting". Rudeness. Some people have less tact when doing it.

6. Invasive questions. Are you clean (a bad way of asking if STD free), are you clean (a somewhat fair question about your ability to receptively bottom), how big is your penis, how fat are you, etc. Though I have never been asked how tall I was...

Anyway, I know lots of men that are completely turned off by this and I can fit more fingers in my nose than it takes to count the number of women (whom I know) that would opt into this experience. And yes, these aspects are integral to the Grindr experience, it wouldn't be Grindr and it wouldn't be popular without it.

Grindr is cool, but I feel like Tinder has already lowered the barrier for casual sex for straight people.... and uh, that's not solving any of the long-tail issues being discussed in this thread.
No, He's thinking about various developing nations that are trying to have a tech boom.

Phillipines is a good example; Average yearly salary is somewhere around 12k USD, Median is 8k USD.

That means if someone is doing a tech startup there, 300$ is somewhere between a quarter and a half of some employee's pay for a -month-. And given the potential for tight margin/cash flow of startups even in the US... it would still price a lot of smaller players out of the market.

The reagent tests that are in those DIY kits aren't as reliable as the Gas Chromatography / Mass Spectrometry tests that ecstacydata runs.

It's easy to misread a reagent test[1], and they won't tell you all the substances that are in a sample, just the particular sample(s) they test for.

GC/MS is much more definitive, in that it'll tell you every known substance that's in your sample (though, unfortunately, ecstasydata is forbidden by the DEA from telling you the amount of each substance they find[2] -- another stupid and harmful result of the War on Drugs).

Still, reagent testing (when done carefully, knowledgeably, and properly) is definitely a whole lot better than no testing at all.

[1] - For example, was that color you saw black or dark brown or dark violet? Did you wait long enough for the color to change? Did you look at the reagent color under the same lighting as the light you looked at the reference under, and was that lighting adequate enough to differentiate between all the different colors properly? It matters!

Many Wikipedia articles start out as just a few sentences and then slowly accumulate content. To give an example I noticed recently, compare https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pu-Xian_Min&oldid... in 2007 vs. now https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pu-Xian_Min

Having some basic information already present means that potential editors won't have to start from an empty page, making it easier to see where content can be added.

Of course if what you're interested in is actually how much humans contribute to Wikipedia in a given language, you'll need to ignore bot activity, but that doesn't make it useless.

Generally the point of hiring is to determine someone's skills, which is a lot more standardizable across an entire industry than compatibility with a particular person is. This is how something like Triplebyte can exist.
Ok fair. Usually those folks had their first couple interviews on the phone first and then we flew them in if the feedback was positive, and then compressed phase one and two into a single day. After phase one you got lunch and then either moved onto phase two or got told that it wasn't a good fit and got sent back to the hotel.
