So I can feed Watson public info about someone and it can make recommendations...for travel like the example, maybe preference of beverage, or custom dictionary words/terms that would be associated with this relevant information. Like a custom dictionary customized to an individual with a little alpha/numeric replacement and some special chars thrown in...wait I have to go ask Watson a couple of questions.
Right. Or wrong. Why do I even bother answering...

You remind me of my 12 year old son. He also fetches the most ridiculous notions from who knows where to justify some of the silly things he does and says.

"All the value judgments" you accuse me of apparently means a single word, "overeducated", which I used as a tongue-in-cheek synonym for "perhaps a little too sophisticated for their own good in this case". I think you're being a little oversensitive about it, but just in case, let me formally (and literally, not sarcastically) express my gratitude to the makers of HN for creating a website of great value to me.

Now, having said that, this is a website where the discussion of the pitfalls of one dev approach vs another is why we're here, and I was seriously suggesting that this might have been a case where the naive approach of a "less-educated" developer might have worked even better. I wasn't claiming to be a less-educated developer myself (ahem). ;-)

As I said, I could easily be overlooking something, and I won't be building my own Hacker News in outrage over the issue, but it still seems to me that just letting me have more items at a time on each page would solve the problem well enough (for me) with no need for anything fancier.
Sorry I forgot to ask, do you even have a CV?
Yep, it is "luck of the draw", and the default hero brain, while very good at gathering diamonds, does tend to be vulnerable to the "assassin" roles.

Eventually we'd like to add a slightly smarter matchmaking system (assign users to games based on some sort of performance ranking perhaps?), but for now it's very possible to end up on a less-than-stellar team.

Slightly offtopic probably, but to provide more context: Syriza is heavily criticised for making a very conservative turn to the center.
I don't think the number of possible games has anything to do with the difficulty of programming computers to play Go. There are 10^120 possible games of chess, for instance - still 40 orders of magnitude larger than the number of protons in the observable universe - and yet computers roundly defeat humans at chess these days.
Thanks for the heads up--it looks like we have an infrequent but recurring bug that's causing this issue. We're working on a more permanent fix for the very near future, but for now it should all be working again.
No-one who uses "politically correct" unironically is going to have opinions worth listening to.
Interesting link. The contrarian in me says it only looks at a couple bulbs, and in my (limited) experience with a variety of new low-end LED bulbs the light quality varies greatly and has also been improving, so maybe this won't end up being much of an issue on circadian rhythms at all. But it's an interesting factor I hadn't been considering (how do LED's compare in this to the CFL's that have already replaced incandescents for many, I wonder?)

You'd get collisions if you're trying to determine the language of a single word, obviously. But a sentence or two should be no problem. You're just matching words in a dictionary.

Different languages are mostly quite distinct. It would be a more interesting challenge to recognize and understand, say, German dialects.

I use New Relic. They provide, IMHO, fantastic realtime server monitoring functions. You can tell if the hypervisor is stealing from your allocation, how many resources you are using, and other useful information. All of this is displayed on nice looking graphs and such.

They also give you downtime notifications if your server goes offline for more than a few minutes. Not only is the service free, but they give you a free T-shirt.

They have application monitoring tools as well, which they are monetizing. I'm very happy with the product.

I didn't read the paper in its entirety, but is the argument something like

competition introduces a superlinear factor in the time/pay equation

superlinear factors on average hurt women more than men since the latter are more likely to be on the upper end of workload (assuming a linear correlation of time/pay, you'd already get from a 77% "wage gap" to a pay gap of around 92%, which would tighten further or disappear if we account for "winner-takes-it-all" distribution of pay)

I find it relatively easy to believe that today's working environment leads to an incentive structure similar to all-pay auctions, where the employer reaps huge benefits due to everyone's fiction of attainable winning, and which hurt a majority of people, but women more visibly than men.
High resolution microscopy techniques rely on the fact that the fluorophores respond non-linearly to the excitation light. In the semiconductor industry a non-linear response in the photoresist was used (for 193nm) to obtain feature sizes considerably smaller than illumination wavelength and numerical aperture of the objective would suggest.

Is this really a "wiki" or is it an online document editor? It's easy to create the basics of a "wiki," and while reliably importing documents into a wiki isn't easy, it's just a starting point. The important features of a Wikipedia (Mediawiki) are an emphasis on links within the site, the ability to view changes across the site, changes on one page, and to see how a page was composed in clean markup, the clean markup also preventing behind the scenes jumbly messes of "structure." Missing any of these points loses a vital aspect of wikis. The category structure and templates are also important features, supporting what in Wikipedia's case is a strong support community that can go well beyond what a formulated menu structure can offer. (Mediawiki has emphatically refused to implement any kind of fine grained access model, this is one area other wikis have advantages.)

But now people expect more, they don't want to be forced to use markup and they want to simultaneously edit documents in a rich editor, in a social setting where its easy to find and connect with other contributors. This is the current focus of Wikipedia and while other efforts have their own strengths, not connecting finely to Wikipedia's developments is, to me anyway, missing the greatest element of development.

This was about the most minor kind of information leak you could imagine. I doubt anybody is going to feel any real 'hurt' from this.

In this case the information seems unlikely to contain anything sensitive pertaining to customers. If it had though then the companies that had negligently put sensitive information on untrusted servers would be held liable and could face significant fines (violating the Data Protection Act 1998 in the UK can lead to fines of up to £500,000 and similar legislation exists in other parts of the EU). That more serious kind of breach is the one we are trying to avoid by advising companies not to use cloud services.
I am not familiar with that particular implementation. PAX is not my nomenclature, it is what sorted in-page columnar formats are called in the literature. (It is what the first paper describing them called them.)

Not all columnar formats have great CPU streaming performance and even then it is data type dependent. Many columnar formats have significantly worse streaming performance than vector formats because only the latter is primarily optimized for it and column stores will trade that for other things (like format compressibility). And for data types that have no mathematical order of any kind e.g. interval data types, columnar formats effectively degenerate into very inefficient vector formats. It is still an open academic discussion.

I don't understand this. If he has the freedom to choose what he works on, and if it's conceivable that he could coast on 40 hours doing 'just his job', what forces him to spend the 40-60th hours on advertising research etc rather than doing his own?

It seems like he should be able to just do his 40 hour job then do as much personal research as he likes after hours.

I couldn't find anything to indicate that any of those people are or have ever been Red Hat employees, or in any other way inclined to take marching orders from Red Hat management. Heck, as a Red Hat "associate" myself I can say that even our current employees don't always take such orders very well. The idea that someone with an even more tenuous relationship would participate in this kind of conspiracy seems laughable to me.

How our staffing-as-a-service IT startup reached break-even
As previously stated, this isn't listing the rooms or groups inside a slack account, it's listing the slack accounts that you might potentially be trying to login to.

IMO, this seems like more a security issue of the individual creating slack accounts for, a) naming the accounts for a specific (potentially revealing) sub-set of their company, and b) turning on the feature that allows anyone to create an account if their e-mail matches the domain.

The company I work for uses Slack but has this second feature turned disabled and our company is not listed when you try and sign in with a bogus e-mail account.

Yes there are tradeoffs, but I'm not sure this is all that great of an example: a slower application and harder to maintain code are simply not worth it. Computers are cheap - devs and customers are expensive.
How to Effectively Market Your Brand’s B2B Message on Twitter
What was once a way for the technorati to share their day-to-day activities with the rest of the world, 140 characters at a time, Twitter has emerged to take on a much more powerful role than many of us expected. In short, this social network has revolutionized the way people connect and share with each other.
To give an example ... Here is what a retail partner is building with these services around specialized marketing: They have (or get) a user's twitter handle, feed the content authored by the user into the user modeling service and based on the characteristics, send appropriate coupons/offers (e.g. very adventurous or less so etc). Combining that with the machine translation & language identification services, they are able to broaden this to many more languages vs. just English.

The part that they are doing next is: with the community of their users, they want to check the potential resonance of their marketing messages to those users, which they do with the Message Resonance service. Based on that, they can pick the most likely to be resonant message before sending it to the user.
Law firms are a prime example of that. When the client calls at the end of a 60-hour work week, he wants to talk to the guy who is primary on the case. Even if he's burned out a bit, the answer he gets from him is still better than the answer any other person in the law firm could give him
As mentioned in other comments, this language is not yet supported. But it would be better to return "unknown" rather than guessing, so we'll look into that.

The funny thing is regular business users think of it as a wiki. Me and you know different!

Think of the business folks at Wells Fargo or any other larger enterprise. They will upload 100's if if not 1000's of documents. Now they can link between documents or just work on each document as they do.

Wiki is a word we think doesn't fit -- but we keep running into it.

Thanks, I wanted a public display of how the Scala community treats people having a problem and you did a great job providing a very typical example.
If it was just a question of salary/prestige, I think taking a lower-salary job with more research time would be appealing to many people. But many pure-research jobs also have little employment stability, or just don't exist. The ones that do exist are often "soft money" jobs like postdoc and research scientist, which are tied to grants, typically with a contract length of 1-3 years. It's possible to chain such jobs together, but stressful and uncertain, and may require moving frequently (which can be tricky if you have a partner, and especially if you have school-age kids).

There are stable research positions, but they tend to actually be high-prestige and hard to get, like faculty member or permanent fellow at a research institute (Institute for Advanced Study and the like). In some fields you may also be able to find research positions in industry, or at a national laboratory, and those options are pretty popular, where they exist. A really well-funded lab that can string together enough grants to insulate the research scientists from the money flow and provide them de facto permanent jobs can also be such a place, e.g. the heyday of the MIT AI Lab, which had many non-faculty researchers. Also a popular option when it exists, but fairly rare in CS (more common in areas like medicine).
It sounds like you don't mind the tradeoff made here but you'd like a better failure mode. That's a great point.
I selected Scala (with Play Framework) for mostly the same reasons: JVM ecosystem, expressiveness, thread-safety, hybrid functional and OO style, type safety and good runtime performance. I chose it over C#, Java, Python and Ruby. After using it for over a year, my experience is very much alike to the one described in this article. I don't see myself switching language or platform anytime soon.

Ahh Polish. You guys are true artists when it comes to telling the truth in creative (and often rude) ways. My compliments!
Except it will forever be called that. A quick example is where I work we have a 'new product x billing' system and it is still called the 'new' one five years later when it is also the only one.

There is some debate internally over whether 'new' refers to 'new as in old' or 'new' as in the opposite of 'renewal'. No one knows why it is called what it is called.
I welcome the idea, but this barely qualifies as an API. The most useful part is the "current top stories" - but what timeframe exactly? Seems to be over 3 days at least and can't be customized. And even my test parsing of the 100 top stories took a good minute.

And that returns only the ids, nothing else. To get basic information like the score, title or url you have to lookup the ids individually. And even the story items do not contain such basic information as the number of comments. And you can't calculate it yourself since only the top comments are even returned (as ids of course). So you'll have to recursively dig through the comments to get the number.

This is even more curious as there is a very solid Algolia API where you can filter for submission time, story score, number of comments and even return a greater number of results + access page numbers to get even more.

To get the information of a single algolia api call you will need hundreds or thousands (in case of nested comments) "official" API calls. Hoping for updates

That isn't really the key question, the key question is: Why when that check failed were the routers "unable to connect to the internet" inspite of actually being connected to the internet.

I'm guessing the software on the routers is designed to constantly release/renew the WAN side when connectivity isn't established. The problem with that design is that ANY disruption will cause a complete internet loss (e.g. DNS timeout, site goes down, route to host, etc).

Microsoft has a similar kind of "am I online check" however the difference is when the check fails all Windows does is display a different icon and suggest (via a graphic) that you're not on the internet.

So that to me is the real Belkin blunder, not the check, or even that it used Belkins' site. The blunder is that they had the router continuously renew the WAN side until that single check worked.

I think that your benchmarks are a bit off: instead of comparing 5to6 with Traceur + Runtime, you should compare 5to6 + <polyfills> versus Traceur + Runtime (or 5to6 vs vanilla Traceur).

Same, the Op/Sec doesn't tell us much about how much time is actually required to compile a significant codebase.

Anyway, I really like these projects (especially since I'm working on an ES6 library), so good luck ! Is it possible to live-compile ES6 scripts, like with Traceur + ES6-Module-Loader ?

Finally, I note that 5to6 doesn't use ES6 itself (when the Traceur build process self-compile, for example).

In a perfect world, that would be true. But this isn't a perfect world, and Amazon is a publicly traded company, so their mission is to make money for their shareholders. That _may_ mean doing what is best for the people buying goods & services from them, but if serving the publishers over the readers benefits shareholders of AMZN more that the other way round, then they are obligated to do that.
In fact you can already get very good results, even without a dictionary, just with a distribution of the trigrams in your input languages (which is immediate to compute from a corpus). Just compute the distribution of the sample and return the language that has the closest one.
