Hey, I run the Growth team at Pinterest. I just wanted to comment on the article to be very clear and say we have never scraped Google search results either currently or at any time in the past.

What a waste of time and resources.
Before the actual head-on collision the star would be spaghettified(that's actual term, see below) by the black hole's gravity and that... is not a silent process, with exception of supermassive black holes.

In particular, it contravenes the treaty (the Sino-British Joint Declaration).
I've done something similar with descriptive summaries of each target. It's an idea that is easy to reinvent independently.
It's not hard to recoup your investment if this helps you in your work.

If you are on Spectrum, check out the TV Choice package as a decent option for a la carte. It's $28/mo (including the broadcast fee) on a 2-year promotion. I get all the local channels as well as 10 channels that I pick (which includes ESPN/2/FS1). They have decent app support, and while the app blocks certain channels (like ESPN) while not on the home network, the subscription allows you to use the ESPN app anywhere.

I strongly doubt the take-home assignment is project code - not only would that be a legal minefield, but they couldn't compare across candidates. It's probably a standardized test. I personally vastly prefer these interviews to in-person whiteboard trivia sessions.
So what? You want to ban all websites with a comment section that are for profit? What about non-profits that make the founders rich by simply paying out a huge wage? Do you mean it should only be allowed to run on donations?

What if the US bans them, and Britain does not. Do you want the US government to systematically control the internet to prevent US citizens from using that British websites?

The things you say are easy to say, but hard to actually make in the real world without running into many more complications.

The price point for the beach wheelchair you linked is $2,440.00.
That's about half the price of this rig, and it does not get you to the beach. You need to have (and park/stash?) another wheelchair for that. Oh and you have to have someone push you.

By the way, I read @codekansas' comment [1] not as a warning about feature creep, but as a comment on the inertia in the medical industry (emphasis on "industry") versus just a few enthusiasts who don't feel bound by patents, conventions and markets, and simply want to build something to improve their lives.

>production is just being moved to Rochester though.

I don't think this really captures how important small business is to Vermont. This is likely culling a lot of jobs across the whole supply chain that locals rely on to survive.
Yes, but for the cases where you don't need to do that, the Pi can blow it out of the water.

I have an STM32-based controller board next to me (I'm a firmware developer) and I had originally suggested that instead of us spinning up a custom board, we use a BeagleBone or RPi Compute Module and build out the I/O and take advantage of all the OSS out there. I got a lot of pushback that I wasn't willing to fight (I said it a couple years ago with the same results), but if we had gone that route, the entire project would have been done months ago. Same would have been true the first time I brought it up on that other project.

Sure the Pi's are cheap and attractive, but it's the ecosystem that provides the real value. And these days, with software usually being the main cost of the project, you can't beat OSS.
Wow, this is such a throwback. Along with Hoegaarden (pre-Inbev acquisition) and Harpoon's UFO White, #9 was one of my first forays into craft beer. That being said, it's been years since I've seen any Magic Hat on a shelf. Perhaps I'm not looking hard enough? Either way, here's hoping that Magic Hat makes a resurgence!
In my previous gig (2017 timeframe), we moved from AWS instances with terraform plus chef which took a couple hours of focused engineer time to generate a new dev environment. This was after some degree of automation, but there were still a great deal of steps one had to get through and if you wanted to automate all that how would you glue it all together? Bash scripts?

We transition to k8s, with PG and other data stores in cluster, specifically RabbitMQ, and Mongo, which runs surprisingly well in k8s. In any case, after the whole adoption period and a great deal of automation work against the k8s APIs, we were able to get new dev environment provisioning down to 90 seconds.

There was clearly some pent up demand for development resources as we went from a few dev environments to roughly 30 in one month's time.

Following that, the team added the ability to "clone" any environment including production ones, that is, the whole data set and configuration was replicated into a new environment. One could also replicate data streaming into this new environment, essentially having an identical instance of a production service with incoming data.

This was a huge benefit for development and testing and further drove demand for environments. If a customer had a bug or an issue, a developer could fire up a new environment with a fix branch, test the fix on the same data and config, and then commit that back to master making its way into production.

These are the benefits of running data stores governed by one's primary orchestration framework. Sounds less threatening when put that way, eh?

ICA | Dev Scala / dev Angular / devops(bash)+data(python) | Full time partially remote | Paris | We are a company that provide to financial instutution an interctive big data tool ( think of an crossbreeding between Apache spark and excel pivot, on steroïds). We are currently growing fast, and are hiring on multiple roles. Shoot me an email : julien(dot)fraichard(at)the(dash)ica(dot)com
You want this:

apt install remake
remake --tasks
remake --targets

The "remake" tool is "GNU make" + some extra bells/whistles, most notably a REALLY usefule interactive debugger. It's 100% compatible with GNU make because it is GNU Make. And you can ask it for --tasks and --targets.
Yup, and exactly part of the reason they are protesting. Goes to show how much "relative" economic success is important to peoples' satisfaction of government.

Even in the US, that is the #1 issue in every Pres election. How's the economy? Aka do people with 401k's think that they are better off, and thus do they think they are doing better against their peers (their competition for finding a mate/maintaining their mate)
BuildBook is an early stage company hiring for several key roles to help us continue our early momentum building technology tools for the residential construction industry:

BuildBook | Product Engineer | US - Remote | https://angel.co/company/buildbookhq/jobs/875012-product-eng...

BuildBook | Product Manager | US - Remote |
https://angel.co/company/buildbookhq/jobs/830833-senior-prod...

BuildBook | Product Designer | US - Remote |
https://angel.co/company/buildbookhq/jobs/887462-product-des...

We are a remote SaaS startup with team members in multiple cities in the US. We have a small, tight-knit team that is flexible in how/where we work. We are moving fast and are laser focused on a specific customer and specific problem. We have a solid core product in market, early customers that are raving about us, and a big vision to solve a massive problem.

Our product is a collaboration platform for residential construction teams and clients. In short, we are on a mission to make construction projects (new homes, renovations, etc) suck less for everyone involved. Our primary customers are small business owners - custom home builders, remodelers, interior designers, and others in the construction domain.

Given our early stage, all roles will be hands-on with an opportunity to lead as we continue to grow.

Our product process is centered around lean and agile methods. Our tech stack currently includes React, React Native, Ruby on Rails, and Postgres. We are deployed on Heroku. We manage our backlog with Clubhouse, our code with Github, and Sketch+InVision for our product design flow. We are always open to new tools and technologies that will help us move faster and deliver more value to our customers.
The problem is more due to a general culture that prefer rigour over clarity. Mathematics by definition is made of layers upon layers of intuitive conclusions. Then why do universities prescribe books with long dry derivations over clear explanations? Rigour is important to ensure correctness - and that should never be compromised. But that isn't the reason why humans learn mathematics. People learn it because it extends their imagination. Clarity and intuition are important for that and those who can't see it becomes disillusioned.

Rigour is better left to computers these days. They are better at following rules. We can have better proofs with software like metamath. Surprisingly, you can even gain deep insights by writing automated proofs (compared to manual proofs). Ideally, practitioners should consider simple and clear explanations as their primary goal and equations and proofs as necessary supplements. Think of this as literate programming for mathematics.
For people asking why the mailing list, among other things, GKH did an ama session[0] a couple of weeks ago, worth reading before jumping to conclusions too quickly.

I know JS is mocked for the horrible type coercion, but on a day-to-day basis I don't find myself needing to know how it works in detail. All you really need to know is that you should avoid it. Use triple equals and don't try to add or subtract non-matching types.
I got banned from using FB's ad service a long time ago. I was linking to sales pages for my own books for a few years.

One day I got an email saying "You are no longer allowed to use this and the decision is final. You may not contest it" or something like that. I responded asking for more information and they wouldn't give me any.

So, here I am, still trying to find a viable alternative. My novels and poetry books don't really sell since then, which is mostly my fault for being lazy, but I was getting rid of a few here and there before.

Sucked that they had such horrible customer service tho.
I nearly based my Master's dissertation on a topic I discovered on a wikipedia math page when I was looking for something to cover. Turns out that subsection was maintained by the 'inventor' of topic and essentially served as a vanity page. The topic itself had no recognition in the community and if I had forged ahead on it, I would have failed my dissertation pretty hard.
As a white man, that is also my perception.

Discrimination has outsize effect on mediocre people. Exceptionally good people will always be able to get far and exceptionally incompetent are likely to be poor.

The discrimination usually shows in lots of small decisions that each separately is very difficult to call discrimation but together amount to making your life more difficult.

Mediocre people don't get many chances to get ahead and they can slip up sometimes. Discrimination makes those few occasions to get ahead much less likely and pay much less and the occasions when they slip up much more unforgiving.
To me the most interesting bit in the article is they managed to scrape Google results at scale.

I think while Magic Hat holds a place in the craft beer renaissance story, much of the regional beer from that era was unremarkable. The idea that it was better than the macro beers stemmed largely from the experimentation and derivation from American adjunct lagers.

As the smaller, more rabid craft beer industry grew from the late 90s, bigger regional brewers like MH never really evolved. Some of that might have been due to the acquisitions, but survival in this extremely saturated space means making a name for yourself via taste and/or quality and Magic Hat didn't measure up. Very few people I know would reach for a MH over a cheapo adjunct lager.
Interracial marriage does not eliminate race, but in my experience as someone in an interracial marriage, it does greatly ameliorate the harms of racial divisions in society. It closes the empathy gap, allowing a large circle of people on each side learn about the unique experiences and circumstances of people in the other culture. It opens a kind of wormhole in the social graph allowing cultural knowledge and resources to flow between communities previously alien to each other. I believe the power of intermarriage really cannot be overstated as a means of bridging cultural divides.

It specifically gives you an example of how "==" clearly sucks and shows you how "===" fixes it. I don't see why a "guide for professional programmers that know more than the average JS programmer" (as per the request) would need to belabor that any further.

If the objective is to generalize, then differentiation is simply the adjoint of the boundary operation, which is a homomorphism; extending the notions of closed and exact forms to general differential forms along with that the differential operator is nilpotent allows setting up de Rham cohomology, which also has analogs by multiple authors.
Or you could model it a different way. They know it sucks, would rather it not be an issue, but hey, take all the advantages you can get.

If everything is the same, would a rational actor not pick the one which is more advantageous?
In my experience, with very large software projects, the multiplicity of targets tends to be related to a combination of multi-stage builds (where you need to build some tools to generate files that are needed to compile the project), installation insanity (e.g., needing to build a large set of locales for upload to the FTP server), and testing (differentiating between multiple test suites!).

The "current situation" is not as clear-cut as many would make it out to be. Watching an emotional video is not the smoking gun that shows one side to be completely right, but that's what's happening now.

I would think a good write up/analysis using high quality statistics would be the way to decide what is happening in the "current situation".

But a graphic and emotional video is going to pull the strings much harder.
All of that is the result of opt-out.

Imagine if Apple was enforcing opt-in (with a free trial). None of that would have happened.
> The higher the language is, the slower it is. That’s why C and C++ are so much faster, they’re very close to the machine code language: the assembly language.

Wait until you see Rust ;)

> That means that new properties can be added, replaced and removed during execution time. This is not possible with languages like Java, for example, in which everything (classes, method, objects and variables) must be defined before program execution and can’t be dynamically changed after the app starts.

Nit: they can; this is just not normally done

Nope, not buying those. Perhaps I should have defined "downside" with "for whom".

> Increasing housing prices are a long-standing policy in the UK (and many other Western countries, as evidenced by low credit rates and extra bonuses for mortgages) and a gift to many voters (whose personal wealth is tied to their homes), and would be a welcome boost in times of COVID.

Would you apply that same argument to say, Vancouver? Would you say their increased housing prices is a welcome boost? The locals certainly don't think so.

> If the UK was afraid of brain drain of London's financial elite (UK's big "export" is finance) because of Brexit just a year ago, vacuuming up HK's financial elite would be a welcome counterweight.

My understanding is that the "brain drain" is because the finance jobs would move to somewhere in the EU (and the expertise would simply move with them). It's not like they're leaving because the UK doesn't pay well in that sector (e.g., Canada vs. the US in the tech, medical sectors).
It's not.

From India, working in software product companies since late nineties. My experience all in India, other than couple of years in USA very early. Have worked in companies like Microsoft, Google, Amazon etc in India.

To be honest I'm amazed at all the top level comments around caste, surname etc.! In my career never came across such situations.

At places like Microsoft, Amazon etc the promotions and perf eval brutally gets fought over during calibrations time. All in open, one manager against another, supported by data - who shipped what, how well, who could have done better, and so on. The last thing one would bring about is 'caste', 'surname' etc., even whiff of it would have pulled down the managers among their peers and their managers (typically group head), before even reaching to HR.

I'm not sure what kind of companies all these people worked at. Just so that HN readers does not get a skewed view - in my two decade plus experience I did not see any evidence AT ALL in those FANG+M companies and also do not hear in startups from my friends.
