Though I get the humour and agree with the sentiment, the history of C tells us that a language can massively succeed even with constant "breaking changes". One of the things I learned working at Coverity is that there is no such language as C or C++; rather, there are hundreds of mutually incompatible languages with those names. Almost no compilers implement any of the standards exactly, and there are so many standards to choose from. The vast majority of real-world line-of-business C programs are designed to work with a single compiler and are therefore never evaluated in terms of their correctness when ported to another compiler.

That said, the C# compiler team was and continues to be extremely concerned about breaking changes because we very clearly perceived the cost to customers and the barriers to upgrading entailed by breaking changes. I introduced a handful of deliberate breaking changes in my years on the C# design and compiler team, and every one was agonized over for many hours by members of the design team who were experts on the likely customer impacts.
No, you don't understand. They are customers of the dispatch company. They pay the dispatch company licensing fees and rent. Totally different, way more exploitative and way more legal arrangement.
And at that point, you have.. nominal types with less documentation?
How many businesses really need Kubernetes? Can't you orchestrate infrastructure + rolling deploys with Terraform + Docker containers?
Mainly I take issue with the title "...: The Complete Guide". More accurately, its a very abbreviated overview. The table of contents has a fairly reasonable list of topics, but for a complete guide I'd want each section there to be at least an entire chapter of material. Instead they are 4-6 sentences per section.

Personally, I think that any comprehensive guide/textbook for machine learning, especially deep learning, should contain a chapter on the mathematics of control systems theory. The feedback/back-propagation is very similar to what EE's and ChemE's do with PID loops or Op-Amp tuning, and I feel that so much is lost academically when that topic is glossed over.

>If it is more lucrative than growing food, does that mean you can buy an equivalent amount of imported food and pocket the profits? If that was the case then it would be an example globalization at work.

If the infrastructure for transporting that food exists, then yes. The problem with relying on food from other countries is that it undermined your (food) security. It's possible that this can be used as a tool in in relations against your country or in the time of a crisis you're more likely to be left hanging. Eg look at all those companies/countries that depend on some important goods from China. During the current crisis the resources in China will be used in China first. Now imagine that same situation, but with food. I think that's why western countries subsidize agriculture so heavily.
> BSD didn't need legislation. GNU didn't.

They absolutely did. Both depend on copyright. GNU licenses in particular were created in reaction to copyright protection being extended to computer programs as if they were literary works. Today, all of free and open source software directly depends on copyright in order to even be recognized as such.
I don’t remember the exact details but for example loading classes that reference each other was hard unless they were all in the same file. I ended up writing a preload step that would combine all library files into one big file and execute that. In general I found it hard to write reusable code once that code started referencing each other. Maybe there are ways around that but it seems kind of stupid to create a new way of achieving what other languages have already solved decades ago.

If cmdlets were easier to use i would probably have used a proper language like csscript or C# instead of Powershell.
Ask HN: How to get a job as Data Scientist
I have a Computer Engineering degree and have almost finished my Masters in Statistics/AI (both in Brazil).
And I'm having a terrible time to find a entry-level job as a Data Scientist. At this point I've done a bunch of interviews, here are some thoughts about then:

- Almost all places have some first phase as a internet test with hard/very specific questions about Software Engineering/Statistics/ML, all with an
infuriating time limit (one of them wanted me to code a Merge Sort in 4 minutes, fine I guess, if I had practiced this yesterday...). Oh, and 2 of these tests would disqualify you for copying or pasting text on the screen.

- I've been eliminated from more than one company by recruiters (after having gone through technical phases) for not having business experience (the wrong "profile"), when they specifically asked for someone with a Masters degree.

It seems to me that the hype on AI has broken this hiring process, there might be so many people applying for these companies that they are forced to apply these obnoxious technical interviews, as they suppose no one is qualified for the job.

Other problem is what they expect of a entry-level Data Scientist. It looks like it they want someone very knowledgeable about coding and statistics and business, but not having experience in the very field I want a entry-level job is a no-no.

So what do I do? One thing that got me a couple of interviews was doing a end-to-end ML project and posting about it on Medium... Should I do more of that?

Or go back to study the type of stuff that they want to test on these technical interviews?

Or try to get a job as a Software Engineer on something related to AI and then think about changing positions?
I figured I'd mention it since it's sorta related. But no such thing as net neutrality exists for text messaging to carriers. I believe that calls have to land from any destination by default, but text messaging (SMS usually) has no regulation forcing it. When it first launched you couldn't even SMS message outside your own carrier.

What this has evolved into this year is that telcos now get to charge marketers extra money for the ability to send to their customers. For example: https://support.bandwidth.com/hc/en-us/articles/360041687274...

Previously, you just made sure a message was compliant with regulations and paid the usual rate to send it. Not anymore, pay to play with each carrier!
I don't, and it is. This is coming from someone who spent a multiple of that amount on a wedding.

My issue though, is that you're attempting to apply logic to something driven almost entirely by emotions in the first place.
>Once again, we are not going to tolerate our community being overridden by the mob. If this starts to happen, we will nuke, delete, lock, close, ban, and do whatever we have to do to put the fire out. These discussions drag on and on and on, and they don't make communities better.

"if you don't shut up about being mistreated by our community, we're going to ban you"

The level of sheltered techbro is too strong.

If you can afford to "not care" about issues, shut the fuck up yourself and don't try to shut out others who are affected by these issues with bullshit like this.

>Q: Your name is offensive. CoC sounds like Cock, and I feel that this is a group of white males that is trying to downplay the seriousness of this issue in our community, and I boycott your movement, and am going to tell others to as well!

Nice strawman. Wow.

Also way to demonize everyone who is sick of techbros being assholes by calling them "the mob".

This is disgusting.
Looking at the current infrastructure and the current investment in said infrastructure. I think it’s a safe bet to go out 30 years or more before self driving cars are the norm.

In cities sure. Rural areas not happening. Add the fact people like to drive to Mexico Canada and Alaska I’d call it a non starter.

Example. I have a place where the road on google maps and the place people drive vary because rural Arizona uses washes as roads. Cars driven by humans get stuck.
I have noticed that profile scripts slow down my startup a lot.
Thanks for your question!
I completely agree with you, Notion is an amazing and powerful tool.

The key difference is the way how data is structured. I think it's easier to navigate and use the data on a board than within a document. However, as a drawback, the amount of information on the board is more limited than in the document for comfortable usage. That's why I believe Boardist won't work well enough for huge volumes of data and big teams.

We are also more focused on personal needs. For example, we already have an extension for bookmarks. Our next steps will include providing content scrappers and more productivity tools.

My goal is to provide the best experience with data organization. Don't hesitate to try Boardist and hope you will enjoy using it. Your feedback is highly appreciated.
How could any organisation possibly argue that sharing their advertisement is copyright infringement? If you change it.. maybe. But arguably an advertisements principal aim is to be seen. It's like suing someone for trademark violation because they show your company logo in an article about your company or product - absurd.
Thank you for the detailed response.

> In addition to the raw compute costs for those nodes, there's the SRE overhead for managing, upgrading, and securing them.

By that logic, can we expect to see charges for GCP Projects and the GCP Console? Cloud IAM?

> people have created many zero-node clusters

I'd be really curious what is driving folks to do that. Are they using the backplane for CRDs and custom controllers and no compute?

This feels like it could be addressed similar to alpha clusters, or with a quota, e.g.: clusters with 0 nodes for > 24 hours will be terminated?

Separately, It seems like handing everyone 3 months to figure out what to do about a new $73 * X fee isn't the best plan. Including some kind of estimate in the emails that were sent out would have been helpful. There was a change in pricing for StackDriver a while back that did this. It was very helpful to understand how we would be impacted.

> Furthermore, each billing account gets one zonal cluster with no management fee.

My feedback is that you would probably get getting way less blowback if that free-tier didn't come across as inadequate. I can appreciate that there are use-cases where it makes sense for you all to be charging. But one zonal cluster... It makes the whole thing feel punitive.

> I'm not sure what you mean by that verb.

I have a feeling we're all about to go on a journey of discovery together.
It´s very sad that Google basically has such a monopoly on online ads that people have to resort to creating their own ad platforms.

Maybe that's a space worth disrupting? Google is getting fat and lazy (but still has a scary warchest and resources).

In the long long ago I used to enjoy chasing down bugs to their source and fixing them, but technology ground that out of me. I used to believe, deep down, that things generally worked and made sense so if I dug to the root of the problem and fixed it things would be better forever. Sadly, this is not the case. Instead complexity just keeps getting piled on top of complexity forever, bugs just get more frequent and harder to diagnose, and just about when you've finally ironed shit out some jackasses come along and decide to rewrite everything with a new layer of complexity or two in there.

Fuck that. I don't have time for this shit anymore. If it doesn't work and I can't fix it in a few minutes I just use something else or revert to a previous version. I don't even bother to file bug reports because it is my experience that no developer cares about bugs they don't personally encounter anyway, and regardless will make me waste even more of my time collecting logs and shit. There are major projects out there with paid developers working on them that have 10+ year open bug reports for fuck sake.

How to get 15k+ pages indexed by Google in 24 hours
At some point, not only do returns diminish, but they actually become negative because your productivity during the first forty hours of the week goes down when you don’t get enough sleep, relaxation, etc. Perhaps that point is at 100 hours/week, or more, but I’d wager that it’s at the 80 hours/week mark where working more decreases your productivity.

And yes, it does depend on the activity, but even cold calling customers all day can become too much, or an extra ten hours of calling could make your sixty hours of programming less productive.
Mortality rate of covid19 for people with cancer is estimated at over 6%. My mom has cancer. Every person who gets covid19 but thinks "oh it wasn't that bad" makes it just a little more likely that people like my mom will contract it.

The reason to not panic but be prepared is that humanity has zero immunity to this virus, whereas there's lots of group immunity to influenza. I'm not sure why it's so hard for people to see the issue here.

It's significantly more deadly than the flu. But also, people should probably take influenza more seriously anyways.

Hard to find numbers on asthma, specifically.

I have mild persistent asthma, for example, which for me means if I take a daily (low) dose of an inhaled corticosteroid, I can generally go about my business like a normal person and almost never need to use my rescue inhaler.

I've only seen stats for COVID-19 fatalities for people with "respiratory conditions." Which could be anything from mild asthma on up to stuff like emphysema and cystic fibrosis.

I know, insufficient data.

I don't think it's eloquent; it's pretty poorly written IMO; it is more cutesy than serious. Despite your assertions, those are subjective things. If you feel that your opinion is more valid than mine, feel free to explain why.

I read up to the cinna-stix line and my only thought was, "why am I wasting my time reading this?" It doesn't appear to be thoughtful and it puts focus on all the wrong things.

I realized at that moment that this post was not really about depression. It was about not getting what you want, not meeting your own expectations, and having to deal with reality.

YC is, for many people, a path to building a business. For others, it is a status symbol, a place where they try to make the next "Uber for X" as a way to spend time working with friends on something cool. That has nothing to do with YC and everything to do with the person's mentality. It is not specific to entrepreneurship and has everything to do with saying, "oh shit, this is actually hard to do."

Ultimately we are all alone with our thoughts, feelings, goals, and pain. Nobody else can sense or really know these things, but us. Getting kicked in the face teaches us this reality. There is some pain in beginning to understand reality. In this context, disappointment is healthy. It means you recognize the incongruence between your mental model of reality, and reality itself.

Depression sometimes has no connection to outcomes, and at other times it is a lingering rot from past outcomes. It is a trick that the mind plays, a tiring mental race through the muck of the past that leaves no energy to address the challenges of today. Depression is not burn-out, fatigue, nor disappointment. It is a slothy form of mental pain about an irreconcilable disparity between past expectations and the present. Irreconcilable means there's nothing I can do today to bridge the gap.

For me, the useful part of depression is the clarity it can offer about the future.

Do you note the difference in the way I am writing about the topic? I am not talking about pineapple pizza, nor cinna-stix.

It's not a childish topic and I don't want to be the audience to someone who discusses it in a childlike way.

You may now have the break that you requested I give to you.

I've been mentioning Google's penny pinching for awhile here. Simple things like Chrome's address bar showing google searches before my bookmarks. It's all part of the monetization. Are fees like this because Google is struggling to continue to grow? That's probably the most concerning thing for Google's future, rather than a $73 fee.
I think all 5000 of them are busy "moderating" complaints.

You can't compare absolute deaths between the flu and WCV.

The flu infects nearly 20% of the world's population each year. Estimates by the NIH are 10-20% annually in the US, and those numbers are probably similar in other countries. China has a billion people, so that means the flu infects probably 200 million people each year but only 130,000 die. The death rate is below 0.2%.

In contrast, only about 90,000 people have been infected with WCV so far. Thousands have died. The death rate is at 3.8%, or roughly 19-20x higher than the flu.
Neo4j is licensed as GPLv3 unless you want the enterprise features (replication). I've run the non-enterprise version in production and it was working fine for a limited workload. Replication would have been nice at some scales but it wasn't the reads that were the issue anyway, it was the writes which replication wouldn't help anyway.

RedisGraph is licensed under their weird license but as far as I can tell you just can't expose the RedisGraph API directly to your customers. Building an API on top of it that adds some abstractions should be fine (think a social network powered by the extension). I could be wrong about that though.

Are you actually doing graph work in Postgres? I learned about recursive CTE queries once upon a time and that was what prompted adoption of Neo4j.

Practically, I find that I'm way more efficient with the messy integration enabled.
Outside of just hating Microsoft...why not Azure?
I think people forgets that if the ordinary flu would have caused this outbreak the counter measurements would probably be the same. But now it’s too late and too complex to stop it. Having two such viruses would probably very problematic and expensive. And which I believe many who compares this to the flu, forgets that we don’t know what this virus does and can cause. A person that had their lungs destroyed because, if true, the coronavirus still will have a miserable life than just dying. Assuming that the death rate is 1% there perhaps be 10% who will have major issues after an infection. That’s not dying but still bad enough.
Twitter can't. Lots of people use third-party clients or the website, where detecting a screenshot simply isn't possible.
What version did you use? What you are describing sounds like Neo4j from around 6 years ago, not today.

India Got Free from Cryptocurrency RBI Ban
SEEKING FREELANCER | REMOTE (but some overlap with US-Eastern time required)

We're looking for freelancers interested in taking on short-term projects involving developing, modifying, and maintaining Shopify themes for our customers at CALA [https://ca.la]. The time commitment needed would vary based on each project, and we would discuss availability and timeline before kicking off each new project. You'll be working on highly visible websites for some of the world's most creative fashion and apparel designers, ranging from indie brands to major celebrities.

We're looking for folks to build an ongoing relationship with; this isn't a one-shot project, we want to be able to offer you a continuous stream of new projects as they become available. We'll provide branding and design guidance and ensure that projects are well-scoped and constrained, but we're looking for folks who can make design and creative decisions themselves based on these guidelines.

We're based in NYC, but this is a remote position. Hours here are completely flexible, though there may be times when we'd need some overlap with US-Eastern time for calls or meetings.

Prior experience designing, building, and maintaining Shopify themes (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Liquid) is required. Please send examples of past work to dylan+shopify@ca.la

We have a couple of dozen clusters, two per client, and can't change the architecture. We use helm and terraform and can build new clusters quickly but we can't treat them entirely like cattle because we don't own all the DNS. Our clients are not the sort to do things quickly - or even slowly.
