Pushing models to prod is often MLE work depending on the organization, though MLE is often slang like how dev is slang. MLE an be a job title just as Developer can be a job title, but more common than not the job title is Machine Learning Software Engineer, or just Software Engineer for short.

I suspect a lot of people want the sexy Data Science job title, which is why there has been such a push for it, and why most new "data scientists" take the title but do Data Engineer / Infrastructure Software Engineer work or MLE work instead.

I think MLE is more sexy in a lot of ways, and it often pays better than DS work, so it's odd that many haven't flocked to that job title, but maybe the whole software engineer part turns people off for some sort of reason.

Me, I'm more a classic data scientist / research engineer, which involves a lot of digging through data and research and generalized learning, then presenting my findings. I'm not using any ML on the job right now, but often I have in the past. It's just a tool, not an end.

> All userdir URLs on one server run on the same host and thus are in the same origin. It has XSS by design.

The ship has now sailed, but I still think it's worth pointing out that it is Javascript's security model that is broken by design, that XSS vulnerabilities are the result, and the same origin policy is an incomplete workaround as illustrated by the article. This becomes clear when you consider that userdir URLs pre-date Javascript.

The public suffix list is yet another incomplete workaround for the security flaw in the same origin policy (that "same origin" isn't a concept that can be clearly defined).

The modern web stack is a security house of cards, as demonstrated.
because they seem to only support that, from their page:

"As of now, SIMD operations are available for non-keyed aggregation queries, such as select sum(value) from table."

not even sure if they support where clauses on that, sums of functions of a column, or even other things like stddev of the column.

their storage format though looks good and simple (similar to kdb actually), but they really should have an 8-byte char instead of the 16-byte one since that would be far more used.

their partitioning scheme is only on time so less advanced than other system.

single designated timestamp column (so no bitemporal), but do support asof joins which is nice.

they totally screwed up on dates and time. dates only to milli and timestamps only to micros. huge mistake.

long256 which is nice, but strangely no long128s (which wind up being nice when you have base-10 fixed-point numbers normalized to a large number of decimals).

i didn't see any fixed-width string/byte columns. Does have 32-bit symbols (i assume similar to kdb?) that might cover some of those use cases.

some good and some bad in there. never going to compete with kdb or onetick on performance (and nobody competes with kdb on query language/extensibity) , but could find a niche based on price and having simpler more easily adapted to querying and more human interface.

The key difference is that almost all the value of the domain comes from the fact that you have a monopoly over it, whereas that is not the case with stock: I can buy an equivalent Apple stock from someone else if I don't like your price.

The other aspect is thinking about which activity is actually economically productive. In the case on investing in Apple, you're producing value, since Apple wouldn't otherwise been able to exist without the capital. In the case of domains, me buying a domain in 1990 is completely unproductive (the domain is still "there" regardless if I buy it or not). I don't see the value to society in rewarding people for rent-seeking on monopoly goods, while the value in encouraging capital investment is clear.

Capitalism doesn't require this sort of rent-seeking, and Adam Smith (as well as other thinkers) identified (and formulated solutions) this problem in the case of land, which is similar.

I find it incredible that no one has done these studies before issuing the lock down orders. Without knowing what the proportion of people who have been exposed but aren't sick any response is the wrong response.

>If someone tried to smoke behind a facemask it seems pretty likely that most of the smoke will be caught behind the mask then drift out behind them like a comet trail, or move up/down. Only small wisps would end up traveling forward to where I'd be standing for conversation.

You ARE the person in the faceshield (I assume you meant that instead of facemask), you don't control what other people do so assume they uncovered. The smoke is in the air, it can reach you. Will it get around that shield or not?
It might depend on where you are. In a big building, that makes sense, since the driver probably stops by your building nearly every day. I've also had an overall great experience using UPS and FedEx at work, where it's a similar situation.

But, for home shipping, I've always lived in 2-3 flat apartment buildings, and Amazon's delivery service has been like a breath of fresh air. They always deliver to the correct location, they're usually conscientious about placing the package in an inconspicuous location if possible, and then you get a push notification on your phone. USPS does the same, but loses points for notifying us by ringing every single doorbell in the building and then walking away, typically during someone's baby's nap time.

UPS, for their part, will generally drop the package at the bottom of the steps, essentially right on the sidewalk. FedEx, not to be outdone, likes to leave it on the sidewalk in front of some random building a block down the street.
They'll spin the eventual deaths as inevitable and brag about how it wasn't 2x worse.

Yes it is, and that's exactly the problem I have with defending any news outlets. None of them have those complex conversations, and they prevent us from doing so. It's important we have them. Until that massive blinder is removed, they will be overjoyed for us to bicker about which news outlet is best, because it means we aren't looking square at them and everything we miss because they never talk about it.

Point 5, “ Your impact is tough to measure” is also shared by Quality Engineering and SRE, and not unique to Data Science. The point about being a support role holds true for them and it is thoroughly frustrating when a front-end dev makes a small change to a visual element is praised to the roof while complex automation projects by the quality team, ingenious recovery and reliability projects by SRE, and massive and fascinating inferences by data science are undervalued by leadership. The truth is most leaders just can’t connect the dots. I’ve worked as a full stack engineer btw do not taking a dig at front-end work, but it’s clearly easier to measure impact. I’ve worked in quality too and when you’re only called in to ask why one bug got out and never asked about the thousands you’ve stopped it’s demoralizing. It’s part of the reason I started Tesults (https://www.tesults.com), if you’re in one of these support roles, measure, measure and measure and throw those reports into the faces of leadership. It shouldn’t have to be done but without it, the point the author is making here will take place.
In the future, we will release other products with features geared towards enterprises. We don't think that having our code open will harm the business.

On the contrary, it will hopefully help us gain some popularity by allowing any developer to access latency levels only seen in trading. We hope that QuestDB will allow them to stop worrying about database performance bottlenecks.

Do you have any source on how face shields are an effective tool against atomized covid19 viruses? The general guidance is that facial masks are effective at barring infected people from emitting contaminated particles, but not good at stopping healthy people from having contact with the virus. Therefore why would an open face shield, which filters zero, be a better solution?

The neutral network is not an unlimited amount of data. It is fixed size, and not transferred.

Further, if you're not familiar with the pigeonhole principle, it might be worth a read on Wikipedia.
Cool! Just a thing to think about! Code size is a useful metric, especially as it improves auditability. But not having to think about object lifecycle bugs ("can this timer fire into a freed connection state block", etc) is a huge intrinsic structural win. Having an unusually clear, audited documentation of the lifecycles of all the objects in your design would also go a long way.

Interests rate are low for low-risk borrowers, Airbnb isn't one.
These are the current going rates for junk bonds. There's nothing surprising about that. And yes, pretty sure that Airbnb does not deserve investment grade - I haven't seen their books but those that have and laid money for this loan clearly think it's a junk bond. Startups generally should not deserve investment grade, and generally should not raise debt at all if possible. What are you going to pay the interest with, your negative profits? You're a growing company, go raise equity.

BTW, junk bonds can be pretty solid investments. $HYG for the ETFs era (beware: it has decent energy exposure).

Interest rates on a house reflect the fact that the bank can repossess it if you stop paying.

AirBnB's higher interest rate reflects the chance that there'll be nothing left.

We're heads of product and engineering at our company (a rapidly growing enterprise SaaS company with hundreds of employees). We're writing a guide to scaling enterprise SaaS product and engineering teams from our experience as ICs, eng managers, and now product/engineering execs.

Overall we feel that we have interesting perspectives to offer having played virtually every role that one finds on a growing tech team. There also hasn't been enough written about SaaS, as much of the literature on best practices for building a company comes from the large consumer tech giants (FAANG, Uber, Lyft, etc...).

Looking at Glassdoor and a couple other Google results, the median is closer to $50k than >$100k for Fedex and UPS, as well as USPS. Though the point stands that gig workers should save money, even if they mess up fairly often.
They're bad at last-mile, yeah. (All the providers seem to be, for one consumer-group or another.)

But if you can cut off the last mile, Amazon's "pick-up point" service beats UPS's or FedEx's hands down.

Amazon Lockers are 24hrs; never have line-ups; there's one outside every grocery store near me; and in a pinch, my own post office can be used as one, too. (Though I don't do that, because my post office is not 24hrs, and because there's a Locker directly on the way between my home and my office.)

FedEx and UPS, meanwhile, both bounce my packages to a warehouse at the airport (40 minutes away) or in a neighbouring exurb (50 minutes away), and only after first attempting to deliver them to my house (which will never work), with no option to send them straight to the pick-up location. (Yes, I can get the packages redirected from the airport warehouse to a pick-up location once they're already at the airport warehouse, but that means an extra two days of waiting for my package, and then I have to go to a pick-up point that's 20 minutes away from me anyway. I may as well go to the airport!)

I live in an apartment building with a flaky buzzer entry system and no lobby mailroom. "Pick-up from a nearby location" is the only viable option for me. Amazon nails it. Everybody else is way behind.
This makes sense. My guess is that Amazon was lower prices by taking a loss on this service, trying to scale it up. They definitely have the cash necessary to sustain losses until they can drive down competition!
Have you considered integrating this system into, say, Thunderbird, or some other FOSS GUI mail client?

This probably explains why some people have a great experience and some people have a horrible experience. If you live an apartment with gated entry, you will have a bad time. If you live in a house with ample parking in front, it will go well.

Airbnb is exactly what is wrong with tech, and this is more reason why. There is no reason why the company needs that much cash.

Also, the company is actively hollowing out our cities so they can make a quick buck off of the back of low-to-middle income renters.
> "I was thinking that I needed to in order to stay on top with marketable skills."

These people are fine not being on top and are consciously or unconsciously accepting the risk of falling off the rails. The risks have been fairly low for the past decade or so since software's role has just kept growing and growing in society and, at least for the foreseeable future, that growth doesn't seem likely to slow significantly.

Not a strategy I'd pursue but it doesn't seem like an unreasonable bet.

I always felt the dashboard looked and felt sensationalist and provided less information than what it could have.

Most of the view is used up to create a map that looks more like a board game, and perhaps fits people's perception of what a pandemic map "should look like" rather than being a resource of utility.

Those large red circles of arbitrary sizes don't scale well.

There many better alternatives IMHO, like the Worldometer corona tracker.
When you're large enough it's easy to hire people to gain a 0.01% lift in metrics and still come out ahead. At least on paper/dashboards but that's usually all that promotions and budget allocation is based off of. Downsizing after that is hard and expensive.
Keep in mind that this is emulating old hardware. See: http://www.osdever.net/FreeVGA/vga/colorreg.htm If the size of the array changed, it would no longer be compatible with the hardware it's trying to emulate.
