Say the average web page is 100kb, and assuming gigabit connection in the office, then that's about a thousand pages per second. If the office switch is on 10gbit that would work out to 4000p/s naively counting. But we're in the same order of magnitude for the speed even on gbit, and we're not accounting for gzip, and the actual average page size might be a bit lower too.
newline | Course author | Remote | Part Time | https://www.newline.co/write-with-us 7 out of our last 10 authors made $50k+ (each). We’re the authors of Fullstack React, ng-book, Fullstack Vue and we’re looking to work with authors like you to write a few new courses this year. Our books & courses sell very well because: - We go way beyond API docs and teach everything you need to know to build real apps. - We guarantee they're up-to-date. - We invest in marketing the books (and have an active email list of over 100k) - We love the topics we write about and aim to create something remarkable every time.
If you decided to self-publish, you may find the marketing is more than writing the course. We have an audience, and we know what they want to learn - so when your course is done, we already have people who want to buy it.

If you decide to go with a “traditional” publisher, you may be given a mediocre editor, write your manuscript in MS Word (ha), and earn 5-15% in royalties. With us, our editors (me) are programmers first, our tooling is dev-friendly, and our royalties on profit are split 50/50. (For scale, the author of Fullstack Vue earned $20k on the opening weekend, Fullstack D3 even more.)

We’re looking to write the definitive guides on programming topics. Things like "The newline Guide to Authentication with React and Node in 2020" - But variations on that can be any major stack or task: Not only JavaScript, but also Rust, Go, Java, AWS, DevOps, Angular, React, ASP.NET Core, Serverless, Python, Elixir, Data Science etc.

If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, fill out the form linked below. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Everything was awesome except the 3090. $1500?!?!?!?! That's a big jump from the 2080Ti pricing of $1200.
Nautical miles are used in navigation because one nautical mile equals one minute of latitude when you're traveling North/South, making it a very useful unit of measurement on oceans. Planes use it for the same reason. A knot is simply a speed of one nautical mile per hour, so it's a useful unit for speed when you're using nautical miles for distance.

So I wouldn't call these two specific examples relics, but I agree with you on uniforms & ranks.

ActiveState | Full-time and Contract | REMOTE | https://grnh.se/772329f92us

ActiveState Platform - made by developers for developers! We are reinventing build engineering with an on-demand SaaS Platform and CLI tool that lets developers automate the building of any runtime environment using any open source language ecosystem on any platform. In Beta right now, we support Python and Perl and we're hiring to add more languages and packages! We’re building an ambitious language distribution platform so that no engineer ever has to suffer dependency hell again, and we need your help to build it.

Most of the positions listed have Build Engineer in the title, but these are for two different teams. The positions with "BE" in the code like "2-2020BE" are focused on fixing build problems (package X failed to build on platform Y). The positions with "LE" like "2-2020LE" are coding positions where you work on tools that do distributed builds.

The internships are only available to Canadian students in undergrad or grad school programs.

I'm a Team Lead here at ActiveState, though only the Platform Builder intern position is on my team right now. Please email me at autarch@urth.org if you have any questions.
I can appreciate that an automated test that runs to completion will cover more code that a unit test which aborts early. And that using 'soft' asserts lets the test run further than a hard assert.

My question is more basic than that, though.

Perhaps to clarify my understanding: code coverage indicates what code was 'covered' by executed tests. This can be useful to show: what parts work as expected in at-least one case, and what parts of code haven't been covered by tests at all. -- But with code coverage from failing tests, you can't get either of "covered code will work as expected in at-least one case" or "this code isn't covered by tests" (since the code that fails the tests is shown as 'covered'). -- What value do you get from code coverage from failed tests?
I think there is a growing part of america that is coming around to the idea that the path to more negotiating power for laborers is not unions. It is through basic income and social safety nets.
That is correct, CHF prices are more or less the same as USD nowadays.

Would you agree that there are some corrupt market-based economies in our world? Would you say that the fact that there are corrupt and inefficient market-based economies means that all market-based economies result in negative outcomes?

Saying that support of organized labor = support of corrupt unions is a pretty weak strawman.

I don't know about last gen, but that was the same as the generation before it - the 1070 beat the 980ti. It's the cycle they do, and as a gamer why I'll never buy more than the x70 card.
The 3080 requires a 750W PSU, while the 3070 only requires 650W. Given I have a 650W, that might tip the scale for me.
I always figured it was a matter of relative security rather than absolute security: having a good enough lock that it was easier to take the other guy's bike. Sorry, guy with cheap lock.
Why?

Two of the projects (fuzzing, benchmark sets) don't affect the compiler behavior at all. The third project (heuristics) already interfere with reproducible builds if they use things like time budgets but could also be made entirely determistic.

Caper | YC W16 | https://www.caper.ai/ | Remote | Fulltime
Caper builds smart shopping carts - powered by deep learning and computer vision - to enable a seamless grab-and-go retail experience. We differ from other emerging cashierless technologies like Amazon Go because we are the scalable solution. Caper’s autonomous checkout technology is plug and play, meaning it requires no in-store renovation, no operational overhaul, no heavy computations or endless image labeling. Any retailers can buy the carts and their entire store is upgraded with cashierless capabilities. Caper costs less than 1% of Amazon Go's infrastructure. We are already live in-stores and our customers love us! See here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2019/10/25/tired-l....

It's worth remembering that even normal people can do this.

I often hear people say "I cannot imagine X (person I know) can do Y." They have a poor imagination.
Putting those numbers into context, from the article there's about 40k employees earning on average 131k. That would be somewhat higher than the median wage in SF (~100k), and for all the employees be about ~5 billion in cost, which is slightly more than a third of the budget of 13.7 billion for the fiscal year 2020.

I haven't looked at what percentage of cost for other cities salaried employees are, but it does not seem exceedingly high. I guess you could justify shaving off 10-15% or so, but I wouldn't characterise this as being a major source of trouble.

Seems like the obvious solution is to use hard assertions unless you have a good reason not to.
Probably, people regularly place their own lives as a much lower priority than the group their part of. I assume most air traffic controllers get emotionally invested as their actively talking to the pilots involved.
Meanwhile, if you create a new Twitter account today from a VPN and follow 30 people, it will lock you out until you verify a non-VoIP phone number.

Removing the number instantly re-locks the account.

It’s really immoral that they demand identity-linked PII while running such a loose ship, where anyone with enough money can buy their way in to obtain that PII, track you down, and maybe cut you up with a bone saw.

Twitter is complicit in this abuse, considering their explicit technical steps taken to ensure that you cannot use Twitter without exposing yourself to these sorts of criminals in the governments of foreign countries, as well as similar ones in the government of Twitter’s own jurisdiction.

> And while Alzabarah’s job entailed maintaining systems to keep Twitter working properly, his position at the company did allow him access to the private information of many users, including their phone numbers, email addresses, and IP addresses. That meant that in some instances, Alzabarah could not only help unmask an anonymous regime critic, but also pinpoint the person’s location.
There’s several variations due to varying languages, dialects, and such but I always heard what he’s referring to phrased like this:

> ”The chicken is involved but the pig is committed.”

That is, while both are needed to make breakfast, the pig has a bigger stake in the project.

The chicken may be providing the eggs but the pig is being eaten!
> I feel an ideal library would offer a real-time and offline client db, user auth, and billing, tied to a backend database of my choosing (eg. Postgres, MariaDB).

I've been searching for something like this for a really long time (specifically in the context of mobile but web would also be great). For the last project I settled on Realm and their sync service (not entirely open source). There's a lot of things that get you 90% of the way there but surprisingly little that ticks all the boxes.

I have some CUDA code that I need to run as fast as possible, so if I was going to blow $1500, my use case would imply that I should go with two 3080s.

However, I also play around with deep learning stuff, expect to do so more in the future, but don't currently follow it so closely.

Would someone care to ponder on what difference they think a 24GB gpu vs a 10GB gpu will have as a tool for deep learning dev over the next 3 years?

For what it's worth, I'm a computer vision guy, but I did have a play with DeepSpeech earlier this year.

I hope AMD can pull it off, as I am really hoping to make my first red box build. That being said, the performance:cost ratio of 30xx is mindbogglingly attractive (assuming the reviews back up NVIDIA's claims).

Kintaba.com | New York, NY or Remote | Fullstack Engineer | Full-time | https://kintaba.com/careers

We're building intuitive software for dealing with high severity incidents (SEVs). We have folks near Montreal and in New York City, but are open to hiring anywhere (relocation not required).

At Kintaba, we believe that failure isn't a dirty word, but a critical component of growth. We're building tools to empower organizations to not only fix failure quickly, but to learn from failure.

We realize that great engineers come from all sorts of different backgrounds. We're not looking for someone with X years experience, or someone who is an expert in certain technologies. Instead, we're looking for someone who embraces Kintaba's growth mindset. You may fit for this role if you:

* Are able to dive into the unknown New codebase? New tools? No problem! You feel comfortable taking on a task where all of the details haven't been figured out yet.
* Have a tools building mindset You're constantly looking to make work more fun, the code more stable, and make the manual automated.
* Are a strong generalist You feel comfortable wearing multiple hats: backend today, frontend tomorrow, helping a customer the next day.
* Are a pragmatic decision maker You're able to settle on good when perfect isn't an option. You can work with codebases filled with decisions you didn't make or don't necessarily agree with. You can settle on gradual evolution over large scale refactors.
* Don't play the blame game When things you wrong, you're not looking for who's responsible, but what you can do to fix the issue, and how you can prevent it in the future.
* Have good debugging skills

> The majority of large companies in China will in fact be forced to participate in a joint venture.

That's just not true any more. Companies sometimes choose to enter joint ventures, but in most industries, they're not forced to. Many large foreign companies operate without JV partners in China.

> There can be no rule of law without an independent judiciary, and the WTO mechanism's you speak of are completely unenforceable.

WTO rulings have led to concrete changes in Chinese policy, and beyond that, China has undergone very fundamental changes to its economic structure and regulation as a condition of WTO membership. In terms of things like IP enforcement, there is something approaching rule of law in China. Western companies can enforce their IP rights through the Chinese judiciary, and they have a very good success rate.

> They were technically "broken" up. But they still have have CCP liaison committees

Having a "liaison committee" is very different from being a giant monopoly that rules the market and doesn't have to fear competition. Many large state-owned enterprises were broken up, forced to operate on a profit-basis for the first time, and forced to compete with one another and private enterprises. Private enterprises now make up a large share of the Chinese economy.

> It did improve for a few years, but the current administration has managed to reverse nearly all those improvements.

Do you mean Xi Jinping? Restrictions on foreign companies have continued to be loosened (e.g., the recent loosening of JV restrictions in the auto industry, which made Tesla's Shanghai factory possible).
A Tale of Two Killer Whales Types
In 2020 the sitting US president was impeached, we saw a massive stock market crash, a global pandemic, the worst civil unrest in the US in 50 years, massive wildfires all over california, and are heading into what will almost definitely be a contested election where we won't know who won the most contentious presidential election in the last century likely far past what the inauguration date is supposed to be.

I think this year is worse than most.
