Are these equal in quality? Go ask people who have taken them!

I'd probably go with the theory course, because I think (for me) the other one would be easier to learn on my own. Also, from the top-level points given it probably doesn't go to much in depth. If you don't have any prior networking knowledge that might be different though.

There is a fundamental difference between a 30% subprime car loan, and the senior tranch of a portfolio of them. There is absolutely nothing wrong with building AAA securities from subprime loans.

You'll only get into trouble if you fundamentally misestimate the default probabilities. This is true for any debt instrument, however, prime or subprime, fancy or vanilla.
Never heard of this but the comments here are piquing my interest.

I'm currently reading Digital Computer Electronics (1977 edition, current here: http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Computer-Electronics-Albert-Ma...).

Would others agree this might be a nice follow up for me, especially if I'm looking for more current material now that I (am starting to) get the fundamentals?

Yes. I purchase Amazon MP3s and play them on Linux. I like actually owning my music as good old-fashioned files. Highly recommended.

Amazon doesn't just provide a link to the files once you purchase them, there is a downloader client. I have never tried the official one, there is an open-source command line alternative called "clamz" that works perfectly.

Why not feature something like our free marketing meme generator in your "growth hacks," column? For some reason, even though it's open source, functional replacement for say Bufferapp or Hootsuite, we're not getting any pickup yet. The SaaS free version is in process of getting approval for the app from Facebook to use the graph API.

Tell me: since my open source software is free, life and working - the meme generator doesn't even need a login! - does it represent the kind of thing you'd feature? OR can you give us other content examples, because the "hype," on the home page feels way too thick.
Some of the parts discussed are probably in wide use because they are mentioned in AoE. The uA741 effect.
That's an interesting point conceptually: the best result for some purposes might be best for a reason that comes from the offline world. For example, if you want to buy rare things, you want to find the dealer with the best expertise and access to sources of those things. That dealer might have an incredibly minimal web site with almost no content -- maybe just contact information.

The original link-structure analysis idea in PageRank was meant to address issues like this a little bit: if everybody links to that dealer's page, it's a good suggestion that that dealer is important, regardless of the content of the page. But there are also things that people don't talk about on the web that much, or don't link to on the web that much (especially if they relate to a secretive, insular, or otherwise not-heavily-web-using community).

You could say it's no fair expecting search engines to know about social facts they can't possibly observe, but in any case it's a reminder of how complicated the idea of relevance or the best result really is!

This should be its own HN thread.
I see what you're saying and it makes sense. I used to think that the cure for epithets was to ban them (that's how you think in grade school). But I have come to think that in some instances something becomes noticeable in the conscious only after others point them out.

In other words, when people use 'she' for ships, aircraft, etc. I didn't/don't really think of them as 'female'. It's only pointing out that 'she' typically means grammatical female gender that I even think about it. So when my father would use 'she' for ships and aircraft I never thought about the pronoun implications. It was only until much later in life and seeing these issues discussed that I saw some oddity in the pronoun usage.

That is, in some cases it can be that a non issue is made an issue by bringing attention to it. A kind of Streisand effect. In other words, we can be actively socialized into thinking about something thinking something typically neutral as positive or negative or inconsequential.

You tell him he should seek medical attention because he has an opinion you disagree with and you think that's respectful?
There is a lot of good introductory type material, but the book treats many slightly advanced topics as though they are casual, and skips around topics plenty. An example would be how quickly (within the 1st chapter) Thevenin circuits come up. I remember taking an entire semester to get to these in my EE coursework.

Many may say otherwise, but I would argue that this is a better reference than it is a book to learn electronics from the ground up, but that doesn't mean that you can't use it as a guide as you learn and look elsewhere for missing info.
"with no way to contact you"

Why doesn't the "reply" button suffice? Other people may be interested in the answers.
Yeah, I haven't seen anyone do a darkside other than him yet.
Upvoted. I definitely agree that many erstwhile "analog" functions have joined the dark side. ;-) And I've been programming digital / analog systems since the early 80s.

But I think that two challenges / opportunities remain for analog. The first is that advances in digital capabilities place new demands on analog. For instance, the possibility of higher sampling rates and bit depths requires us to go back and update transducer preamps.

Second, some archaic skills can still be lucrative if the number of practitioners decreases faster than the number of remaining applications. I'm still betting my career on the need for somebody to care about physics, while also knowing how to program. At my workplace, I am possibly the last remaining person who knows how to compute a noise budget that includes transducers, analog signals, and digital processing, in an instrumentation system.

Horowitz and Hill had a chapter, "Digital Meets Analog" that discuss ways that digital designers have to keep up with analog concepts. The ways that digital systems can go wrong are often analog.
>> I'm pretty sure that's culture and social experience in general that allow us to evaluate art. Not sure robots will be able to do that soon, as it seems to be a product of our intricate biological structure.

That doesn't tell us much about the limits of models trying to emulate that to some level of accuracy. It just tells us it's complex. But we can create complex models.

In my case, even messing with settings doesn't roll me back to old bookmarks. It's thanks to an update that's just been rolled out and it may be heading your way.

However, installing the following 3 Chrome Extensions has helped somewhat:

- Chrookmarks
That's wordplay masquerading as understanding.

Instead consider a CPU architecture and accompanying notation designed especially for playing chess. The other idea is not very interesting.

Assuming some arbitrary architecture plus the necessary code to emulate it on a normal architecture (including your stupid CHS example) would normalize the "size" of the program, anyway -- unless there are hardware structures that are especially good for chess. Which was the essence of the question.

> "Right to use" != "right to have it provided to you in an easy-to-copy way".

One of the big problems with DRM is that this ends up being not "right to use" but "right to use in several very narrow ways that someone else deems fit". If your use is innovative or just different — such as using a more capable media player with more features than the one provided to play the media with —, you end up being not able to do it.

Self interested lobbying is different to regulatory capture.

Even Wikipedia says:

Regulatory capture is a form of political corruption that occurs when a regulatory agency, created to act in the public interest, instead advances the commercial or special concerns of interest groups that dominate the industry or sector it is charged with regulating.

I don't think I could say it better. Regulatory capture is different to lobbying because the regulatory agencies act in the interest of the company instead of the public. Lobbying is when the company puts forward its own interest.
rolling back a LVM snapshot involves dding off the snapshot, and on to whatever you want your production disk to be (or just running off the snapshot forever, which has.... performance consequences with LVM.)

Yes, LVM snapshots exist, but they are of limited utility compared to ZFS and the like.

I've been experimenting with CentOS6 and ZFS on Linux; so far it looks pretty good. it handles failing consumer grade hard drives vastly better than lvm on md, and snapshots are inexpensive.
Oh, I'd missed that happening. Thank you for pointing that out!

> Dane Carpe, of Creswell, Ore., lost his 2008 Dodge Charger when he could not repay the $17,116 he borrowed at a 23.74 percent interest rate. Credit Carl Kiilsgaard for The New York Times

What?! 23.74%? That's nearly as bad as credit card debt. And for an auto loan?

It's one thing to pay higher interest rate for credit risk, but totally another to not understand basic financials - if you already have bad credit, you want to build up your finances, not dig a deeper hole by purchasing things you cannot afford, at interest rates you cannot afford.

A good case to improve financial literacy amongst the masses?

I think this is equivalent to money-lenders in India fleecing poor, illiterate farmers who don't even understand the interest rate they are paying.

Linux, hands down.

1) You probably write code that targets Linux. That means using Linux as your dev machine is going to reduce complexity.

>Eventually you get burned. For me, it was a routine should-have-been-minor web server update where one of the packages I relied on suddenly became unsupported and every single hosted site stopped working. Since there's no way to roll back server upgrades, I had a marathon night involving building a new server stack and migrating all hosted sites there by 8 a.m.

The traditional way to handle this in a cluster is with testing. The idea being that you have the upstream repo, the testing repo, and the production repo.

Note, in most cases 'repo' means "directory tree served via http" and "sync" means "Copy, you know, with rsync or something" - This is not complicated.

10% of your servers point at the testing repo, the rest at the production repo.

every X days, you set a test box against the upstream repo, update, reboot, and run your tests, you know, to catch the obvious stuff. If that works, you sync your testing repo with the upstream repo, and so 10% of your production now runs your new stuff. This is where you are gonna catch most of your problems, in my experience, but if something chokes, you only lose 10% of capacity.

after Y days of the test stuff being on 10% of your boxes, you sync the test repo to the production repo.

Of course, if you are like me, and when 10% of your boxes are down 10% of your customers are down, you want to spend a lot more effort on the 'test before you get customers on it' step.

Also, sometimes there are 'don't sleep until you roll it out everywhere' updates, like this one (oh god, I am so happy that srn is on that now and I didn't have to deal with it) or like shellshock. In that case, well, sometimes you sync the upstream repo straight to production.

Demonstrating the broad appeal of Slack - my dad's medical practice has started using it. The current software ecosystem for collaboration tools in medicine is horribly bad and this can actually have tragic consequences. Slack would be wise to take a closer look at this market and see how they can optimize for the needs and requirements of physicians and nurses. Healthcare spending will only increase in the years to come and if they can demonstrate positive patient outcomes and get a few hospital CTOs on board this vertical could explode for them.

I can't imagine not using Xcode for a large Obj-C project either. The UI and tooling is not the issue. In that regard, I love Xcode, it's very helpful. The issue is that it's dog slow on my computer and it eats up all the memory it can get its hands on. That's why I prefer to do non-iOS development, where I don't need to use an IDE.

I wasn't in that far a different situation from OP, at a similar age at the time. In my case, I grew up poor. I did what I did because I followed the advice of my parents and neighbors -- it's what they did, and they hadn't yet been bitten in the ass by it. Thankfully, I didn't get bit either.

Fast forward to today where I found long ago (~10 years ago) that getting serious about personal finance is a valuable thing. To my folks I might as well be speaking a different language, but I haven't paid a cent of interest in nearly a decade, and have maxed my tax-advantaged retirement accounts for the past 8 years.
Not really. Android apps are still HUGE (~60MB for an empty project). I'm waiting for them to optimize for mobile before getting into it.
About the HTML5 build, I read that they were waiting for a fix on Emscripten itself.
Slack is definitely an experience, if you compare it with something like hipchat.

A few of the small things I've noticed -

- Sounds are just beautiful. The pings and the clings are selected very thoughtfully. Sound is the invisible thing that generally makes a good game, great.

- The slack loading message - there are a bunch of different welcome messages that just bring a smile to your face. And they cycle through it, so you don't see the same message every time.

- The loading animation is just beautiful. I saw an update where all they did was improve the resolution for this icon on retina display

- The channels thing is awesome - it's like the IRCs. They even went ahead and added the "#" even though it's unnecessary.

- The details - the colors chosen, the fonts, even the minimalistic design in general - it's just done very, very nicely.

- The search is just awesome.

You might go "meh" on this, but these are things that the competitors are ignoring. These are things that made me fall in love with Slack when we started using it an year back. Yes administration is simple, yes they have amazing documentation. Yes, they have segmented their users well. But I think the core product is just beautiful, and that gives them a huge leg-up over their competitors even without the other places they are doing well.
No "all hands" meetings. Send us all an email.

Good start, finally adding records, patterns, tuples, non null, would be a good first step to making C# not feel so heavyweight compared to F#. If the F# team ever gets enough resources to complete with C#'s VS features, perhaps we'd get some serious adoption. As is, F# comes across second class both in tooling and MS marketing - that's not really competing fairly ;)

But without making things expressions, it's still gonna be clunky. First class immutability and expressions instead of statements would help propel it further. I still would feel rather limited about having no type inference on local functions, though.

What would be really exciting is if the runtime was also open for some real changes. Traits, non null, slices, maybe even ownership (so we could stack alloc, a huge perf win)... One can dream.

It would be interesting to run these tests on different instance sizes, specifically for data on the instance store. The larger the instance, the fewer neighbors you have to worry spending those precious IOPS.

As for SSD vs Magnetic EBS, I can't say that I'm surprised. I'd assume that EBS implements some sort of cache in between you and your actual disk on the other side of the network so that the writes can return even faster. Try doing this again with reads and I'd bet you'd get some interesting results.

Edit: Also, did you pre-warm your EBS volumes? http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ebs-prewa...
All I can say is be weary of HIPAA compliance. It's a pretty big concern because failure to comply can be very costly; I've heard from many in the health/medical field that they can't touch these kinds of tools until they get comfortable with HIPAA.

It would be insane to demand the company to pay for the maternity or paternity leaves. That would be like charging money for elementary schools and forcing companies to also pay for thay! Small companies could collapse by just a few employees having kids at the same time.

If the government wishes for the people to have more children, the only reasonable payer for the costs is the same as with all goverment spending - the taxpayer. Handing out a proportion of your salary as the maternity or paternity benefit will also make the it more equal and not cripple the incomes of better paid people.
