Thank you for helping to make the Internet a delightful experience.
This has been up/down voted a lot fyi.
Talk about addressing a symptom instead of the problem.
mind summarizing this a bit before I click over blindly to your link?
The timeseries databases I have used are good (and fast) at answering queries like "mean value of sensor_1 for every 10 min bucket". It can answer this fast. It can handle that some buckets have 1000 points in them, some have 0 or 1. It can calculate the moving average, again correctly with possible missing/unevenly spaced values. It can calculate the rate of change (the deriviative) fast.

Often there are other time-related stuff in there as well, but I think the vast majority of use is fast calculation of "mean/max/first value of sensor(s) for X-second buckets".
I work for a small financial SaaS in Boston. 30-50 people. Nobody offshore. I've worked here for 18 years and 11 months and a couple of days. Yes, we're hiring.

The best thing about the company are the people who are already here. The basic hiring criteria are "clever, competent and kind". That doesn't mean we never have disagreements, but they tend to be technical disagreements about the best approach to reach the same goal. Before the pandemic, and hopefully after it, the kitchen was the center of the company: casual questions turned into great discussions, explanations... there's a big whiteboard wall in the kitchen, and it got used a lot.

That goal, incidentally, is to drive down the cost of good portfolio analysis until it's within everyone's reach. We're succeeding: there are clients who have programs where people start their investments with $50/week.

Our folks are reasonably diverse in terms of background and talents. There's a robust co-op program. The benefits are pretty good -- fully paid health care premiums -- but it's definitely the people that make it great.
link? I can't find any results on that level on ballotopedia yet?
> If you look at the numbers, the Clinton "surplus" was merely some fancy accounting achieved by borrowing money from government trust funds, like social security.

What numbers? Care to cite them?

Social Security has always held its surplus in t-bonds. Ergo, the government has always "borrowed" from SS. So I'm having trouble seeing how it was magically different under Clinton. And also why republican presidents don't use the same "fancy accounting" to make their deficits look lower.
> Now, to be clear, the focus should not be on the person.

He said after spending several hours drawing focus to the person, including by name in the very previous breath.
Why are DHS clearances required for these?
Excellent point. But I don't think anyone is gonna pay much for "Right-click. View source code. Done." LOL
>"why would anyone start a new program in C"

I wrote a firmware recently for low power microcontroller. No memory allocations in code. The language is simple and easy to read unless one is purposely trying to be fancy. It is very performant - the end result and compile steps as well. And there are megatons of C libs for microcontrollers. Would not dream of using anything else for this particular task
Do the same thing. There's still a human behind the wheels.

No. This reframing of the issue is incredibly reductive. The best thing you can do for homeless people us provide them with housing. Shocking I know.

Once they have housing — no strings attached housing — you need to provide health care (mental/physical). Now they have a chance to get reintegrated into society.

But without permanent housing nothing is going to happen.

Having said this, of course drug problems are extremely prevalent among the homeless population. It‘s rarely ever the root cause of the homelessness though. Maybe they had an accident or illness and were prescribed opioids frivolously and for too long. After they are sandbagged with crippling medical dept they are addicted and can‘t pay for their expenses at the same time.

Also, living on the street in extreme poverty is terrible and bleak. So no wonder one would end up depressed and start using even more opioids to mentally escape.
There’s a reason that ballots are supposed to be cast behind a curtain.
> "good problem to have" then you probably don't want to work there

Well it's a tradeoff:

[growing pains] = [potentially valuable stock options]

[ever changing technical choices] = [not boring / not stagnating]
They’ve said before that the work that was done in Servo has already been incorporated into the shipping version of Firefox. It would have been better if they didn’t have to do layoffs, however the Servo project served its purpose.
We do standup on slack, which I like quite a bit. I'm a PM now, so it's very valuable to be able to quickly figure out what someone has been working on for the past few days, but it's async and minimally disruptive. Threaded conversations can happen when someone has a question. Easy to scan for the info you need and team doesn't have to post at a particular time of day or spend much time on it.
Most of the small hobbyist machines I've seen (including this one) use Grbl, and Grbl does support G02/G03.

A shitty environment certainly contributes, but drug abuse has risen in every demographic, and genetic predisposition is a huge factor (40-60% cited here[1]).

Kids have the most psychological development from looking at people's faces, emotions and smiles. Saying that's a "minor inconvenience" is silly. Especially since there's negligible risks for them.

And mandating something which neither prevents catching, nor transmitting the virus is definitely not a "minor inconvenience".

EDIT: In my last sentence, I wasn't referring to masks. I was referring to vaccine mandates which the truck driver also ran on.
I know this is more charged in the US, but you can still vote for whoever you like and just not tell people you don't want to tell about it.
I do wonder about number 2. Obviously it's a great solution, and even a less expensive one that you might think for a pretty good swathe of the homeless. But I've always had a pet theory that the real reason NYC and SF homeless seem so different is winter, and Vienna also gets really fucking cold. Ideally I am wrong in this, but I wonder if the most visible group in SF need something closer to assisted living than just housing.

Which honestly I am fine paying for, I just wonder if rehabilitation just isn't possible for many.
They started building this kind of thing around London Walk after the war - rather than more tunnels the cars are at ground level and the walkways above. Best seen at the Barbican and in a newer flavour around JP Morgan’s new office nearby.
The hubris of these engineers are going to kill lots of innocents. I wonder how long until regulators are forced to step in?

Self-driving has continually been proven to be a "not-ready" piece of tech...can't imagine allowing this.
As @kadoban mentioned, DDC/`ddcutil` is the tool you're looking for. They have explicit documentation for the Raspberry Pi (http://www.ddcutil.com/raspberry/) though you'll want to make sure you're running at least a 5.10 kernel if it's an RPi4.
I can't reply, but anyone downvoting the sibling comment about Biden needs to do their own research rather than downvote reflexively. It's perfectly fine to think he was better than the alternative, but it's pretty silly to look at the evidence and conclude that Biden is perfectly mentally OK.
Consider working for yourself under a corporation. Quick to be hired, fired, and fire your customers. You may be the best boss you've ever had.
VMware has a lot of different teams working on very different and interesting problems. It's not listed with the FAANG companies, but it pays well and you won't feel like you're making the world worse off than it is.

You'll probably see some complaints about some teams in VMware, but it's been mostly a great place to work.
Judging from my Dad's trajectory, reconstructed from his accounts of his politics, during his adult life, from the 1960s-present, plus my own observations: talk radio in the 80s did it. 100%. Completely defined his worldview and all his political opinions. That was it. Long before Fox News came along.

Rush & others said such-and-such about Carter. Day. After day. After day. Until he believed it.
I'm referring to the people running. This guy spent $150 on Dunkin donuts and put himself out there, home address and everything.
> And mandating something which neither prevents catching, nor transmitting the virus is definitely not a "minor inconvenience".

They have studied this though. Actual scientists, not people on Youtube or Facebook, and they have found that masks diminish the transmission of COVID-19. This is kind of what you'd expect with something airborne.
This outcome should also be entirely unsurprising and should pass people's basic sniff tests as Timescale works within the existing, mature architecture of PostgreSQL, where-as ClickHouse is a greenfield single-purpose system. Software makes trade-offs.
as a ardent user of the plugin back in 2008-09, I want to say thank you all who made it possible
I'm really enjoying Google too. The only downside to it is the challenges of working for a bigcorp: getting everyone to agree on what you want to do is a lot of work.

But everything else about the company is super nice.
That's an hour long video, could you provide a TL;DW?
I am out of the loop: what did Mozilla to Firefox on Android?

As far as I know it's the only browser for Android that supports the uBlock addon, that's why it is my go-to browser.
The writer used the word “average”, but it would be clearer if they used median, or quintiles or deciles. I could not find a source for the report they claim to be saying 3 million people in NJ would benefit.

NJ income tax is ~4%, and average property taxes are not that high:

https://www.nj.com/politics/2020/03/njs-average-property-tax...

It would be nice to find statistics by percentile, but I would find it hard to believe that many single households are living in houses paying $8k+ property tax, and married households are paying $16k in property tax.

I use $8k and $16k because that would mean the remaining $4k and $8k would be for income tax for a person earning $100k/year (78th percentile) or a couple earning $200k per year (83rd percentile).

https://dqydj.com/income-percentile-by-state-calculator/

Edit: the best way to figure out if the SALT caps hurt or not is to see if the amount of people itemizing on federal returns increased or not. I cannot find any NJ specific statistics, but IRS says only 11% of tax filers itemized in 2019.
I've heard OpenTHC is pretty cool ;)

How to do config management like a breeze
Good. To be honest, if the tech companies (i.e. MSFT, Google, Amazon, etc.) ever decided to fully compete with defense contractors, like Boeing, LM, Northrup Grumman, etc., they could clean up easily. There are plenty of defense contracts that don't require you building bombs or munitions.
Disclaimer: I work at MSFT on Julia's team

While the recent hot reload was super disappointing and a larger organization failure, I can't say enough good things about Julia as a leader. She is incredibly developer-focused, smart, and approachable. She is everything I would want to see in a CVP / President, and a fantastic track record of both people and product.
>>especially if you care about the license not adding too many restrictions.

Compression is one of the many closed-source/proprietary features in Timescale. Timescale is a great idea, as its just a postgres extension, so no need to add another database, but with such an important feature being proprietary, I end up looking at the fully Open Source ClickHouse and I see the operational overhead of another DB as reasonable trade-off for keeping my stack Open Source and avoiding vendor lock-in.
Masks don't stop covid, nor do the current vaccines stop infection, but we keep going with it like anything will change.

We are not a serious nation, but I'd argue it's because we do things like mask children in school, a cohort that faces an infinitesimal risk from Covid but a real and obvious risk of psychological and social harm from the negative effects of blocking their faces all day in critical periods of their social development.

You've looked at the death rates, or the total deaths of children from covid over the entire pandemic, and concluded this practice is a necessary and healthy choice given the negatives? Why?
Midsize companies are great, but they're not for slackers because people there actually expect you to work. However, if you do actually work, they're good for that.
And how would people get in and out of the tunnels?

>(2) House them. Another poster mentioned it in this thread but this is essentially the approach to Vienna took. House people, in houses, not shelters, unconditionally.

I think we should house them, but not unconditionally. Housing should be offered to everyone, but continued housing should be dependent on ongoing participation in drug rehab and mental health programs. This should be paired with enforcement of public health, shoplifting, vagrancy and other quality of life laws. Housing and rehabilitation services should be available to everyone without regard to their ability to pay, but if they choose to reject this, and insist on acting in a publicly disruptive and criminal manner, then they should be locked up.
At the other end of the spectrum, in British Columbia (population 5 million), there have been 0 deaths in age group 10-19 and 2 deaths in age group <10.

To further confound the issue, mortality rates in infants is significantly larger than in older kids, for US something like 500/100k vs 20/100k, reflecting a number of infants with congenital issues. Some of those end up counted as "death with covid", even if they were not going to make it either way. It is better to search for epi data for kids excluding 0-1 age group, if at all available.

I can't help you with ideas of how to accelerate build times of open hardware, but thank you so much for sharing that link. Looks really promising, will probably test it using the CNC-machine someday soon!
My experience is, you get to work with a company who "advices" you what to do and they also do the certification. In my opinion, this makes it worthless. The company i worked for got the certification like this every year.
Yeah, the pandemic has really highlighted how many people rather adjust their world view and deny basic facts when accepts something that's uncomfortable or just plainly don't want to make even the smallest sacrifice for society.
I'm in WA now, came from MN. It infuriates me thinking about voting in-person: my wife and I used to go to our city hall, wait in line maybe a half hour to 45 minutes. We'd snake our way through the line, get our IDs checked, fill out these forms just so, and if you get a technicality wrong, you'd have to work with someone to fix it. Yadda yadda, finally you'd have time in a booth to cast your vote.

But now in WA, my wife and I typically make our morning coffee, sit out on the patio, read through the voter guide to understand what the arguments for and against a particular ballot initiative are and the statements given by individuals. We vote together, sign our ballot, seal it up, then we drive three blocks to a local drop site (only because I prefer doing that versus putting it in my mailbox).

It's super easy to participate in the system here, and in my jaded perspective, that's exactly why certain people and organizations hate it so much.
Federal govt IT is basically competitive on salary but the hiring process is rigged. The job descriptions are tightly bound to specific experience that only other govt workers or contractors could know and understand.
haha, as it should. Taking the "hard line" here seems awfully stupid to me though. Isn't that what causes the problem? I would happily pay my share of taxes to provide the most problematic homeless with a lifetime supply of heroin and hookers if it meant my family could safely park their car when they visit.
There's a very recently announced (https://security.googleblog.com/2021/10/launching-collaborat...) initiative by Google, Salesforce, Okta, Slack and others to create a minimal security standard - https://mvsp.dev/ - which will hopefully reduce this overhead and encourage an improvement in security across the industry.
> the typical course is still not that much different 15 years later.

For context, I checked your profile to see where you did your undergraduate degree. I am familiar with the way calculus is currently taught at that university, and it looks quite similar to the "radical [...] era-appropriate" textbook that you linked (at least based on a quick read of a few chapters). Those courses are also taught in a quasi-active learning style (though nothing as extreme as a flipped classroom, etc.). Your observations may have been accurate 15 years ago, but that's thankfully no longer case. There's also pressure from the department/admin to make these changes in upper-level courses. See e.g. https://people.math.harvard.edu/~community/inclusive-classro... or materials from https://bokcenter.harvard.edu/active-learning.
Pretty much yes, can't force people to get mental health help, can't force people to quit opioids. People who think housing and access to mental health and counselling programs will solve the entire homeless crisis are incredibly short-sighted.

Anecdotal for sure, but a couple of my friends have had parents who were addicts, even when they had the love and support and housing options of being with family they chose to stay on the streets, unless they decided they needed to rob a family member for some more spending money. Spreading subsidized housing out doesn't work, addicts will just hang out closer to their dealers/sources on the streets. Putting up highly concentrated housing programs just make this problem even more dense, creating a radius of exceptionally high crime.

Even in the most idyllic scenario of creating perpetually well-maintained and totally free housing, many will end up choosing the streets anyways, out of convenience, mistrust, or mental health issues.
What's weird about that. The campaign collected that much and didn't spend it.

The PACs financing everything wouldn't be reported as the $10,000 raised so you are conflating issues there.

It doesn't cost anything to put a video on the internet. He only needed to reach more than 30,000 people in his 1 district. If you look closely at more expensive campaigns, you'll see a lot of wasted money.

Thank you for the explanation, very clear and concise.
> And what do you mean by rasterization - we still have to deal with pixels in the end, so it has to happen somewhere?

At a high level, you could think about it as where in your nested loops you put the loop over geometry (say, triangles). A basic rasterizer loops over triangles first, and the inner loop is over pixels. A basic ray tracer loops over pixels, and the inner loop is over triangles (with the BVH acting as a loop accelerator). Just swapping the order of the two loops has significant implications.
It’s almost 2022 and 95% of all backends are still just CRUD.
This is accurate in my experience.

Actually, I'd say you're lucky if you find a small company that isn't at least mildly dysfunctional.
As a Missouri resident, what is the best method of contacting these baffons (and their opponents) to voice my displeasure with this appalling response from state officials?

Something I am absolutely missing from TypeScript is enums with associated data like in Rust: https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/items/enumerations.html.

The usefulness of this obviously depends on pattern matching control flow ops in Rust that don't exist in TypeScript but it would make my life just so much easier.
I don't believe anyone gets a windfall by saving 7% of every paycheck either. Those who ran a startup make it a habit of burning through millions a month too. What's really unintuitive for me was seeing that CFAs are terrible at personal money management.

This post is completely false. Literally every word of it is false.
Clinical Death != brain dead, Clinical death has a very well defined and nearly irreversible process [1].

The longest human is known to be revived is only in the range 10-15 minutes. Brain damage is quite likely at this point. The longest for an animal is for cat - 1 Hour.

Only clinically dead people are eligible for organ transplantation

Author here, you are correct, not tuned.

Bingo. This is precisely my point. I think they're going to phase out DevOps and replace it with GitHub in their lineup.
That standardization and automation you're talking about costs money too. Schools deal with technical debt on the IT infra level much like SaaS companies do.

Of course, you should be able to cut a $129k/yr DBA if you just spend the millions needed to streamline the IT systems.
Blocking the faces of children in the prime of their life, where they need to develop social skills through interaction and facial expression, is madness.

The covid risk for children is a rounding error. This is not prudent risk management; mind-boggling for someone from the tech industry who should be able to do a cursory look at statistics and dismiss this practice out of hand.
There have been several consensus failures from PoS, including the recent outage of Solana. One just needs to look at the Steem/Hive 'takeover' by Sun to see how political wars can form and threaten the security model in PoS world. Contrast with bcash incident of 2017.

A few years ago, I saw a Hybrid PoS/Work chain (a satoshi-client derivative coin) being attacked in real time, and totally hijacked. Ultimately it was a bug in the PoS logic that enabled it. I am very apprehensive about PoS even providing a fragment of the security.
Chain takeovers are a real threat in PoS world. The attacker needs very little physical resources -- just know the right stakeholders. PoW need resources. PoW is trivial to verify and test.
PoS advocates like to gloss over all the real world failures.

You may notice that during the China ban, Bitcoin worked pretty much as expected (with some slight block delays until difficulty adjusted). PoW works.

The other metric to observe is how many chain reorg's occur due to PoS. This is practically a non-event in large PoW chains like Bitcoin, today. In Turing complete chains like EVM chains, it might not be possible to reorder transactions with no-loss during reorgs as transactions are state dependent. PoS potentially destroys finality.
