I am pretty sure he skipped compiling! I am being serious here.

Honestly, I am not sure why you are surprised. Competitive programming is different from regular programming, and like every other field it require years of training and experience to become good.

After a while you just learn to recognize patterns and common topics.

I think your comparison to chess is a good one. Both chess and competitive programming require years of deliberate practice to become good.

Source: done both. Though I was only somewhat good at chess, I was fairly successful at programming contests a few years ago(not this guy's level good though).

> Is that person simply a genius? My ego is shattered beyond recognition. (Instead of being happy that I solved my first competition problem...)

Don't feel bad about yourself! Imagine a Java programmer writing their first haskell program and being surprised at how quickly haskell programmers are able to write code in haskell. That's how your post looks to me.
The rule of thumb in the car business is that you have to sell 40000 of the things to get the economies of scale needed to be viable.

I'd rate this story as one symptom of a broken visa system. There has been a lot of talk how other companies "exploit" holders of certain visa types to a lesser degree than what would be called slavery.
This mostly begins and ends with fear of liability. Amazon has lots of assets, tiny margins, and a lot of deep-pocketed competitors more than happy to fund legal battles by proxy, to say nothing of smaller trolls. (What other company is going head-to-head with Walmart, Microsoft, Google, Bertelsmann, and Apple in different market sectors at the same time?)

Restricting "official" contributions is really about limiting the legal attack surface.

Quoting from the article:

Part of the problem is that none of these articles were
co-written by a Liberian scientist. The investigators
collected their samples, returned home and published
the startling results in European medical journals.
Few Liberians were then trained in laboratory or
epidemiological methods. Even today, downloading one
of the papers would cost a physician here $45, about
half a week’s salary.
Interesting, but it would be nice to see a picture of the resulting palette.

FWIW: It seems like none of these issues are related to largefiles. It might be problems with the eclipse plugin or "something else" (configuration issues, bad interaction with other tools, incompatible versions, bugs).

The only exception could be lack of history. Largefiles make some tricks with storing the hash of file X in a .hglf/X file and folding it back in the right namespace is tricky and had some errors. Annotate and largefiles are conceptually incompatible; largefiles is intended for big and binary files where annotate wouldn't work no matter what.

My experience is that the main problem with largefiles is the problem it is trying to solve. It is not a good idea to store large files in a VCS - especially not in a DVCS. Storing large files in VCS is last resort. Given a situation where you have to / want to do it anyway, largefiles is a fine solution. It works quite well for us and without significant problems.
Thanks for chiming in! Your earlier part about your experience is popular among my colleagues.

I'm not sure what you intend with this. I am using that as a counter example to "laws against slavery restrict freedom", because the person I'm responding to was implying that restriction is inherently good: restricting slavery is generally a positive, but restricting gay marriage is generally a negative. The fact that the same idea in two different scenarios can be good or bad means you can't use it as a maxim.

TLDR;

Connect all people, addresses and businesses in the business register in a big graph, sort each node by its amount of neighbours and work from there through the list of best connected people.

The underlying idea is that money laundering requires a good network (of people, addresses, companies) while staying "under the radar", so unknown people that are well connected are potential money launderers.
It sounded so familiar, that name. Thanks for pointing out, you are right.
> People really do want things like clean energy and cures for cancer.

No, people SAY they want these things (because maybe it makes them feel good or because it gives them social capital). But when it comes time to actually put their hands in their pockets and give, they come short. I know this since I tried to crowd-fund for cancer research. It was hard. I got barely enough. I'm still backing the project out of my own pocket to the tune of 10-20%.

I've had my nonprofit website (with a donation link) on my lyft line profile for a week. I've had about 10-20 good conversations about what i'm doing. My conversion rate? 0%. In this time, I have had zero dollars donated to my nonprofit. It's ok - I am well within budget for my project.... But I'm just saying that it is facile to say people want these things but in the end one really wonders.

Fact of the matter is, that politics is not very good at funding these things either. A lot of grantsmanship goes into twisting your expertise to allow the bureaucrats to dispense their money into your project. There is very little accountability, and the administrators are trained in the same system that creates the professors, (and reviews the journal articles) so it is a bit of an echo chamber.
Reminded me of the Doom/Keen days
I began the course last time it was offered on edX. And I didn't like this course at all. In my opinion it was pretty inefficient with regards to presentation of information, motivation of students, integration and realization of interactive lessons.

And that struck me as surprising given how often they emphasize how much experience they have with teaching. I took multiple edX and coursera classes from Alpha to Omega and this was one of the worst.

Going App only: Myntra to shut website from May 1
Logic based AI is definitely taking a backseat to data driven methods in the current environment but dead is a gross exaggeration. There are a large class of problems for which heuristic search in logic domains is the most performant technique, and a significant class of problems where SAT solvers are feasible solutions. Many of them are real world examples, rather than academic problems. Also, many techniques are evolved or emerging for systems of logic that can handle uncertainty. I've done work on hybrid systems combining rule-based systems with data-based systems (the typical process takes a rule-based system as a starting point and evolves it towards a pure data system as the data sets get large enough). However, starting with a rule-based system is actually a good approach for most start-ups when you don't have enough data to get performant models.
On the 'liability' angle...

Was the legal team really ready to bring lawsuits against any other open source project that was used internally that may have broken or caused a problem (like anything from Apache, for example)?

If not, why would they think they'd be sued as well?
Even there though, isn't it mostly bug fixes? Has Amazon contributed any major functionality back? They do a ton of custom stuff and I don't really see any of that showing up like you do with say, Google and cgroups.

Show HN: I created an Excel plugin for using SQL inside Excel
or all the good and competent people are busy fixing the problems made by the first set
Hi all!

So as a side project I developed a plugin that lets you do SQL inside Excel. It's called ThingieQuery (www.thingiequery.com).

When you install ThingieQuery, you get a SQL IDE window inside Excel. It uses an embedded SQLite engine to process the queries and uses the data from excel tables. Basically you get full SQL support inside Excel.

In case you want to query your excel tables together with the tables on an external db server you can do that as well. In this case the data from Excel tables will be copied in the form of temp tables to the external server. If you wish, you can write the results of your queries back to Excel.

It has syntax highlighting, code completion (currently rudimentary tho), and can do some neat tricks.

I've also made two tutorials so far:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ld-mbyAGsow

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vjlEd2-bJQ

I could be happier with the tutorials, but they do illustrate the point of the plugin.

I created the licensing infrastructure and the website, and am trying to launch it as a product so I'd really appreciate feedback.

If you do a lot of data manipulation in Excel and you're good with SQL do give it a try.

Thanks! Antonio
If you think you think those things seriously qualify as "foundations", well, you're just wrong in my opinion. At least for my purposes, the only important foundational tools are the language (JavaScript) and the runtime environment that supports it (Chrome/V8). Everything else is just so much hot air that only gets in the way.

I am honestly a "foundational" kind of a dude. I was into philosophy before I was ever into technology.

I'd just like to say that I found the tone of this article so much better than all of the other rust guides I have looked at. It managed to be interesting without being annoyingly cute or overly dry or explaining basic concepts which any programmer will know.

One of the things that I am aware of them Open Sourcing are their chef cookbooks used for opsworks(https://github.com/aws/opsworks-cookbooks). Unfortunately the activity on the repository is a sad read. A lot of issues and PRs created that solve real problems for users of opsworks and in some cases fixes security issues. Most of these sits ignored and unmerged and some, such as one of mine(https://github.com/aws/opsworks-cookbooks/pull/231), have been rejected elsewhere(on Twitter in this case). There are in fact many PRs dealing with SSLv3 and POODLE besides mine for example https://github.com/aws/opsworks-cookbooks/pull/291 and https://github.com/aws/opsworks-cookbooks/pull/281. So while these cookbooks might be open source they are nothing but a read only representation as PRs are very rarely accepted.

The catastrophes involving space vehicles are certainly more impressive and public and obvious, but they aren't particular large in terms of loss-of-life. It's not hard to beat with a building fire or a large freeway accident, let alone a series of small failures or the really impressive failures like structure collapses or industrial-scale explosions. And while it's true that most of us aren't working on things which by themselves have the potential to cause these disasters by themselves, many of us are working on things that could spark an accident or cause one in progress to get worse. Any small electrical device could start a building fire. I've seen small USB devices, when left in a laptop in a bag, start smoldering. It was only luck that it was noticed before combusting. Nearly any component of an automobile could cause an accident -- the ignition switch, for instance. I don't remember if the floor mats were exonerated in the "stuck accelerator" cases (did it end up being driver error?). People use Maps applications and GPSs to find hospitals -- if you don't return the closest hospital or send people to a wrong address, people could die. Most of us don't work on Therac software that can directly shoot people to death, but it's not hard for your bug to be one of a chain of things that go wrong.

Meanwhile, a lot of us work in or contribute to a culture which promotes risk-taking. Risk-takers get a lot of the done and only sometimes have problems, and get promotions, bonuses, congratulated, and trips to tropical locales. Sometimes things go wrong, but a lot of times you'll be forgiven because you perform so well. If you're overly cautious, things may never go wrong, but you also won't get as much done and you'll probably not get as much praise, and might even be let go for being low-performing. This may not directly result in any deaths, but it contributes to an industry-wide culture where risk-taking is the norm and success is defined as "getting a lot right" and not "getting very little wrong".
The moral of the site: If you are a broke college grad who can't seem to find the perfect job, then just throw up a fairly standard wordpress/jquery site that boldly claims to be the ultimate job seeker's solution. As long as you provide a side-by-side comparison between yourself and the 30+ billion valued behemoth in that space that shows your solution with twice (!) as many check marks, then you have given a self-grounding truth as to why any potential investor would not be better served throwing their investment dollars into the Cracks of Doom.

Unattributed quote found on the site:

"This is really revolutionary. Bylder is taking the job hunt to the 21st century."

This kind of rhetorical device is NOT the way to instill the greatest investor confidence.
I think everyone, including those who agitated against Facebook's original patent license, understands and agrees that patent licenses are important and should be encouraged.

Where the original patent license was perhaps "worse", in an ethical if not legal way, than no license at all, was that its limitations were non-obvious, and there was a feeling, right or wrong, that Facebook were attempting to restrict developers' rights by stealth. Licenses without any patent grant are problematic and uncertain, but they are at least problematic and uncertain in an obvious way, if that makes sense.

The original patent license felt akin to the Microsoft's early attempts at "shared source" versions of their libraries and frameworks, where just reading the source code could theoretically curtail developers' ability to work on open source implementations.

I think it's natural that people will react more negatively and forcibly to these kind of apparent bad-faith actions than to simple omissions. Furthermore, taking an aggressive stand against these sort of license tripwires hopefully makes it much less likely that others will attempt to insert similar clauses in future.
