A manager who feels he has to micromanage is redundant and unnecessary, as far as I'm concerned.

Everything you said is bang on, but this is one of the salient comments said so far in this thread.
So you're one of the companies giving H1-B a bad name by abusing it for cheap labor and taking money out of the foreigner's pockets then?
I don't understand the claim that you should get a large RAM GPU if you have a large dataset. It's the model and your training procedure that dictates the amount of GPU ram consumed (e.g. fft convolution kernels like fbcunn use a decent amount of RAM compared to CuDNN's fused gemm, larger batch sizes mean more ram for storing activations, etc).
Thanks for the kind words:)

Luckily, there weren't too many negative comments but I was happy to address their concerns. Can't make everyone happy (especially on the internet).
browsing visadoor, I now see a number of high salaries are missing.

If visadoor ever read this, please add salary range filters to http://visadoor.com/h1bvisa-database. E.g., only show offered salaries >= 300000. Thanks!
Built in GPS. I don't want to bring my phone on runs with me. For me, it replaces a Garmin GPS watch.
Thanks! That's what I guessed but never knew for sure. Hopefully v2 will ship with WiFi. Til then, maybe I should get a new phone.
> I am surprised by how often I hear this example.

Huh? That surprises me, too. I didn't know it was so common.

Anyway, I agree that there is an equivalence between a function and its graph. Knowing one implies you know the other. But just because it's equivalent, doesn't mean it's the same. A two-dimensional graph is, after all, a set of tupels in R^2. A function, however, is a mapping from one element in one set to another element in another set.

Mathematically they're very different. I can't draw functions, I can only draw sets. I can't apply sets, I can only apply functions. It makes sense to treat them as different things.

Actually, vector graphics are mathematically specified by graphs of functions, not pixel sets. This makes it possible to zoom in without pixelation, since the function in the graph can be defined analytically (like Bezier curves). If you started out with sets instead of functions, you'd get pixel graphics, since it's not possible to save an infinite set. So the equivalence of a function and its graph holds until you try to implement something.
You can make your ajax calls in actions or stores so if it makes sense to. Just make the query there to easily update the store.
I was sort of thinking the opposite here is more interesting. I just want to text to a blackbox:

"FOOD"

And a short time later food (possibly Soylent to keep the baby food aesthetic right) shows up. If I can do this while wearing a VR mask showing a strange new world with bigger people that talk, even better. I want to be an infant again.

Maybe they can add a feature where it can hear me shriek out and automate this process.

In your scenario the UX may be broken since Seamless can do this much faster I think?
I don't know any physics, but it seems like a bit of a warning sign that these new discoveries in fundamental physics are annouced on... a computer security blog?
You can have both.

The way I did this in some of my apps is that JSON data is shared between web and Android/iOS client, BUT rendering that data into HTML is done server side:

The server detects if the request is coming from the browser or client app. If it's the client app. it just hands over the JSON data. If it's the browser, it uses the same data to render HTML and sends that to the browser.
The only caveat to this is the ontological status of Faraday's "lines of force". Their model is based on these, and so far as anyone knows they are just a conceptual or pedagogical convenience. They have a quantitative meaning (you can actually calculate the "density of lines of force" between two charges or magnetic dipoles) but they aren't really good for much. They are generally mentioned in passing in intro or intermediate E&M courses, but mostly as a matter of historical interest.

If they could be shown to have independent effect of the kind that the vector potential was shown to have via the Ahronov-Bohm effect, then this whole approach to quantization would become extremely interesting. Otherwise, you're right: it's just another interpretation of QM, and not a very interesting one at that (despite their claims, as I explained in a separate comment, they can't reproduce the experimental violations of the CHSH inequalities in Aspect's and other experiments that introduce time-variation to precisely rule out the kind of prior communication they are arguing for.)
Except you gain better startup speed which was kind of the premise of this article.
I thought Atwood's Law [1] was a joke, but this is seriously interesting. I remember when Java was just a fun little toy language for making web pages, and I'm still surprised every time someone mentions it as a serious number-crunching platform. (I've heard that the entire Nasdaq matching engine is a single-threaded Java application.) Is JavaScript going to end up the same way?

Right, my question isn't where the call should be made though. Makes perfect sense in the actions. My question is if the call fails how do I post a notification to the view itself to communicate to the user that something went wrong? Actions can't post back to Views, so... Send event to store, store passes along the error to view? It's an elegant system otherwise, but this really clumsy to me.

Speaking personally, half of Magic's draw is precisely because it's over text. Sure, part of the allure is that I don't have to deal with the services directly. However, for me, the other benefit is that I don't have to interact with the people behind these services directly. Maybe I'm just antisocial.

For more applications, a couple back and forths is all it will take. Then, you can have your preferences saved for next time.

For me, I'd rather send a few text messages back and forth than sit synchronously on a voice call for 15 minutes.

Companies are able to handle a much larger volume of text messages than they could via voice (sync vs async).

At least for me, I send thousands of text messages per month but only do a few voice calls.
Early exposure 'cuts peanut allergy' by over 80%
True, that's maybe the only case where there's an improvement. But it's a one-time cost (the browser can cache the compiled version), and switching to bytecode is not necessarily the only way to improve performance.

For example, a JS parser specially optimised for asm.js.

Pete hunt said it should be relatively easy to wire up a RESTful api to flux relay. And since mapping data to complex front ends is hard, but defining restful endpoints is easy, I'd rather design my database to be optimized for the complex front end scenarios. I imagine that you would be able to make a standard REST api from graphql.
Back in 2005, I was at Rochester Institute of Technology, and our ID cards encoded our student ID... which was also our social security number. The Student Government made you take attendence by student ID number for certain functions, so at one point as officer of one of the campus's major clubs I was sitting with a spreadsheet of the names and socials of >1000 students.

They were also low-cap magstripes, and the checksums were predictable. Inventive students had a database of a few all-access keycards that were used to sneak into the tunnels under the academic buildings at all hours of the night...
HTML fragments are a (very) poor solution to real time websites.

Applications that use streaming data sets tend to use the data for more than just presentation. Does the backend send both HTML and JSON? The backend can't send the entire data set because that's too slow; the client needs to be responsible for maintaining its own copy of the data. What happens when there is a bug and the two sources are inconsistent?

Even if the client doesn't need the data, HTML fragments suck for practicality.

Does your website have any forms? You now have to write a bunch of code to copy the data and preserve the focus. Does your website ever use JS to update the DOM in response to user action? Does your website ever suck in any data from a third party? You now have to compare the state of the DOM (or whatever data generated it) against the HTML fragment and do something sane.

Even if you solve the problem of consistency and applying fragments to the DOM, chances are you will be left with performance problems. You will need to batch updates to control repaints.

Maybe, performance isn't an issue or you solve it, too. Congrats, you just spent man years rewriting React.
This is true, but the comment you were replying to was pretty clearly treating it as a language. With "VM" in scare quotes because it's a semantic model.
With PureRenderMixin, doesn't that also prevent child components from updating in response to state changes? For example if a child component must update due to some event, but none of its parents care about that event, doesn't that cause the child not to update?

Edit: Turns out my render methods aren't pure. I query stores right render, which causes problems when using this mixin.
There hasn't been any penalty on NSA/Snowden stories for a long time. I'm surprised to see this even come up, since I've commented on it quite a bit and thought the information had gotten around by now.

"Minimize awareness"? Obviously we don't try to do that, nor would we want to, or even think that way.

The reason there was a penalty—the mildest possible—was procedural. For several months after the Snowden news broke, HN's front page was overrun with copycat stories that were simply follow-ups and added no new information. Many users complained about this, and they were right. So we applied the best tool we had available, with the intention of taking it off when the flood died down, and so we eventually did.

Very interesting. I attended OSU. I bet most of universities have the similar kind of security holes. They probably use the fact that not too many people can exploit those technical security flaws as the single line of defense.
I'm also using alt and enjoying it. I like that it sticks close to the FB implementation of Flux but there is less boilerplate along with utilities such as bootstrap, snapshot, etc.

This isn't just a problem with just universities. I have a card reader as well, and any site that issues swipe-able ID cards is more than likely susceptible. You would be surprised how many use an incrementing ID that you can easily impersonate another user.

The equipment needed to create fake cards (not just blanks) that look good is trivial to purchase.

I would be curious if OSU built or bought this system to issue cards. If they built it, shame of them. If they bought it, shame on them as well. Any security audit would have caught this clearly. Cards like any interface require good design for use and security.
Yeah, when I looked at my LCA it contained:

- Prevailing wage

- My actual base salary (higher than above)

No sure which of the above they're using for this infographic (I know the actual base salary has to be >= prevailing wage, but is it public?), but when you include stock grants / bonuses / 401k matching, my total compensation is well above both of those numbers.

Companies won't solve the problem, because the problem is in a different domain.

"Our data" may be sort of safe, but the civil rights are being eroded, which is a much bigger issue. Having such powerful entities living in complete independence from the government, and with complete unaccountability, is a social disaster.

Besides, the data owned by a user in the more "immediate" sense, may be sort of safe, but don't forget that you're not the only possessing data about you; there is a large ecosystem, and such entities will be always a step ahead in the game.

In absence of accountability/civil rights, such entities are completely free to rape you, independently of your technical private defenses.

Nice write up. Just curious, how many of us are still in or near Stillwater (even in OK)?
That's kind of the point, at least as I understand it. You want to minimize the number virtual nodes that need to be reconciled to actual DOM nodes. If nothing about a parent's props or state has changed, then ideally nothing should have to change about any of its children.

Why do you think this addresses the claim "Reasoning from intuition has a terrible track record?"

1) Einstein didn't work from intuition, but from a particularly narrow insistence on that the laws of physics be the same for all observers. This informed both SR and GR, and in fact his "intuition", such as it was, led him wildly astray in the run-up to GR. His papers in the 1913-1915 timeframe were all over the map. Furthermore, the final decades of Einstein's life were almost completely sterile in terms of new physics because he let his intuition guide him: he insisted that "god does not play dice" and so on, which turned out to be a hiding to nowhere.

2) Even if Einstein had worked primarily on the basis of intuition (which he didn't) and had been right (which he wasn't when he relied primarily on intuition) it would not in any way absolve us from the duty of taking experimental results far more seriously than theoretical intuitions, because against that one (actually imaginary) triumph of intuition we would have to balance thousands of years of intuitions from very smart people that turned out to be false.

"Things fall toward the center of the Earth and planets move in perfect circles about it" was intuitively obvious to Aristotle. So were a lot of other falsehoods. Galen had a whole raft of intuitions about human physiology that were false. Everyone from Kant to the Positivists believed it was intuitively obvious that detecting a violation of the law of non-contradiction of the kind implied by the experimental violation of Bell's inequalities was impossible. And so on.

So even if we had a single instance of intuition being correct, we would still be crazy to rely on it given its long track record of abject failure. "It just makes sense" are the most dangerous four words you can speak, because they are the terminus of critical thought.
My main point is that there is only one meaningful difference: the presence of the unique mathematical framework. This alone would not be sufficient to put that theory in the category of science.

Why? It comes down to the basic requirement that the theory should make some new and falsifiable prediction. Without that, the theory would at best be a mathematical unification (admittedly quite an impressive one). If using it isn't substantially better than using the older theories, all you've really done is invented a mathematical object that behaves like relativity in one context and quantum mechanics in another (and doing that without introducing loads of hidden variables seems to be enormously difficult). There is only something noteworthy and new in that mathematical sense. Is it interesting? Absolutely. Is it a scientific theory? Not really.
The wavefunction is a superposition of n independent wavefunctions at different amplitudes, like you can divide a piano's sound into a bunch of pure sine waves. "From the inside" each feels like a self-contained world (in a physically rigorous sense), but the ratio between their amplitudes and phases can be an arbitrary complex number - just as even if you're only playing a C and a G, the ratio of their amplitudes can be anything.
Version control ftw!
So what is the bootstrap process going to be? Other than already have a Go compiler I mean. Or is it have a Go cross compiler?

Maybe it matters less, you used to always assume bootstrap from C but that more or less died with C++ based compilers, although you can do a multistage bootstrap from the last gcc before C++ still.
Omitting the frame pointer is a default on x86_64 its specified in the abi so it's going to be mighty tough to change that. I don't understand why you recommend not using the debug info when you already have to use it for symbol name resolution.

It's pretty amazing how quick they are going. Every single one showing as available that I've checked so far has gone. It's like people didn't know you could do this before.
When models like this are proposed, a lot of people are interested because of the philosophical implications of a classical theory of quantum phenomena.

The question I have, though, is this: does this model actually help model phenomena that we can't already model? Quantum gravity is the big spectacular example, but there are many others.

For instance, the Standard Model is very successful at predicting the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron. But it is not successful at predicting the same quantity for the muon. There are many other issues with the Standard Model that aren't so high-flung as quantum gravity.

Are classical models like these, if they can be shown to incorporate multiple particles interacting simultaneously, capable of going beyond the Standard Model or merely replicating it?
I actually think it's a good to understand Flux in it's purest sense before using a framework. As a learning experiment I created Aqua [https://github.com/jedireza/aqua]. It was published last week and there's a good Q&A thread going on [https://github.com/jedireza/aqua/issues/2].
