It's quite possible that in SPEC benchmarks they used 2 Elbrus cores and 1 Pentium M core, so IPCs are about the same. And it's confirmed by 7zip benchmark.

In theory Elbrus can dispatch 23 non-SIMD ops per cycle, it has only 6 integer units and 4 among them can do FP, so it's not clear what remaining 17 operations can do. Modern x86 CPUs have about the same number of integer/FP ALUs.

Current IPC is quite good, but it's hard to tell if core clock can be increased without lowering IPC. If ALU pipelines are short, it may be difficult to increase frequency without adding more stages. If more stages are added then pipeline flushes due to unpredicted jumps will result in heavier penalty. And it looks like Elbrus doesn't have a branch predictor at all. Pipeline stalls caused by memory access will also increase with CPU frequency. In x86 CPUs they are somewhat masked by out-of-order execution and SMT, which Elbrus doesn't have, so it should depend on memory preload instructions inserted by compiler.

I am a front-end guy, and I end up doing UX, design, back-end, bug tickets support, managing projects and clients and even back-end.

If you try to stick to your job description, you are not going to be very helpful in the real world.
It's interesting to compare this list with the topics covered by the Software Engineering Book of Knowledge or the Software Engineering PE exam. Requirements engineering, formal documentation, estimation, project management, and ethics all seem to be overlooked in Google's guide.

I guess this is sufficient to be an engineer at Google, but this wouldn't be close to sufficient in other industries.
You might have imposter syndrome.
At the end of the day whether or not the source data is in a proprietary format or not, it's being rendered into HTML in the case of web apps. The only difference is whether that happens on the client or server side. It's trivial to parse in either case. In fact I'd argue it's usually easier to dig up a JSON end point in the case of a web app which is far more parseable than HTML.

I don't think we can point to this reason to explain the rise of web app's.
I want to know if there's a huge difference between charging your laptop and running off of battery sometimes vs leaving it plugged in all the time - I sometimes move to my couch or something to do some work, and maybe leaving the charger behind is actually an additional cost
Could you give more information on how do some websites react to a google referer?
If each button is seen as ad and paid for by the brand shown on it, the costs likely look good from both Amazon's perspective and the brand's perspective.

A button that costs somewhere between $5 and $10 might result in something like $240 worth of sales over its lifetime. (eg. 1 sale per month x $10 sale price x estimated 24 month lifetime)

Seems scalable to me.
Interesting, I had not heard of ruby before! (more info here, as linked in TFA https://hacks.mozilla.org/2015/03/ruby-support-in-firefox-de... )
I doubt Nest and the Tesla battery will take off all over the world, maybe in a decade or so, but not soon. However, I think smart sockets could be useful if you want to save power without investing thousands of $$$
If you buy slightly nicer luxury-ish vehicles (M-series BMW, E/S class Mercedes, Audi, Porsche) the extended warranties are unbeatable. It's nice getting a Porsche Cayman rebuilt for $150 deductible because you purchased a $4500 100,000 mile warranty. Jalopnik had a write-up on a guy who bought the much maligned Range Rover and basically recouped his purchase cost in 1 or 2 warranty-covered repairs.

Regardless of what should or should not be on this guide, it's on Google's Career pages and is being served up to students interested in a career at one of the most admired employers in the world. Not only is it on the career section, it's on a section specifically targeting software engineers, which are considered a key component to Google's success. And the page is incredibly sloppy, both to those in the industry and probably many who don't even code but are in the industry (recruiters, non-technical hiring managers, etc.).
It will not; the border search exception is as old as the Constitution.
I think you nailed it here. I started learning SQL years ago from W3Schools, and it was great because it got right to the point. I can't imagine trying to get a handle on something completely new by starting with full reference material.

> I think we're there today with a bit of skill and minor bit of work on top, but a little bit of work from cloud/virt solutions will push us over the hump.

I think that's true, but my timeline is based on how long I see it taking 'mainstream' enterprise companies to adopt immutable infra—for many of the orgs I've worked with, they've only recently completed a sea change from dedicated servers to virtualized 'cloud' deployments.

So it really depends on who you're working with; many businesses are making the move today, but cautiously. Once the early adopters complete rolling things out to production and working out the kinks, we'll finally get to the late majority/stability, and I won't have to commiserate with the thousands of sysadmins stuck with dozens, hundreds, or thousands of VMs :)
I don't see anything wrong with the quote you posted. It doesn't imply that people of different races are stupid or inferior. It just implies that you expect genetic differences to correlate with all manner of other measures.

Some form of Dash exist with industrial manufacturing and assembly( some part call it bins) Where the no of items are limited ,where obviously it scales nicely. To think that the Dash is a solution for all the items is not productive. I think Dash may have market for consumer items like diapers,sodas, Ramens kind of stuff, basically which once you consume more frequently.

Writing it off might be premature, at least it is worth a try.

In the US, people don't really haggle every day. It's not part of the culture. This stands in stark contrast to the experience of buying a car, which is something people are never going to do frequently enough to build up haggling skills. So it's really context dependent.

In a culture where people haggle constantly (or at least more frequently), then a larger portion of people will have the relevant skill set to navigate these waters. I guess you could "solve" it by building haggling into the culture, but you could also "solve" it by forcing car dealerships to normalize with the way that most other average purchases work.

> libraries and frameworks seem to have shelf lives measured in months!

What "shelf life"? If the library works for what you app needs it to do, there is no use by date.
Sorry if it sounded like that. What I meant is that the 2d matrix representation with shape (n_samples, n_features) actually goes beyond scikit-learn and python(ex: dataframes in R or Julia), it is the standard representation of data in Machine Learning so it is assumed that someone who wants to do Deep Learning should already be familiar with it. That is why I thought you should start with something simpler than Deep Learning to get used to these concepts. Scikit-learn is a good option because it has more tutorials/examples/videos and more beginner friendly documentation in general.
That's what I would have done.
This reminds me a lot of what happened (or didn't) to Tcl, although Lua has two major advantagen in LuaJIT and its "rocks" system, even though they probably could be exploited a bit more.

I think a general problem is the lack of a bigger standard library and access to libraries and APIs. Not needed as much if you use tcl/lua/scheme as an extension language, but pretty much essential for a stand-alone language. Note that even within the sector of new-fangled hyped languages (Rust, Go, Julia, Nim etc.), it might not be the one with the biggest library/package selection that wins -- or else we'd probably never stopped using Perl -- but it's pretty much required if you want to compete in the first place.
I built and run DocketDaily (http://www.docketdaily.com). We mine and process litigation data which is used for a number of law-related purposes. As others have mentioned, Thomson and LexisNexis have the law firm market nearly locked down (for the time being, at least, as even this is changing), so we decided to target a slightly different space. We focus on legal vendors -- those selling into law firms and in-house counsel -- and provide them with very useful data and information for their sales/marketing efforts.

This strategy -- not targeting the law market head on -- has proved beneficial, and has allowed us to establish a base from which to expand to adjacent verticals (law firms, in-house counsel, legal recruiters, etc.)

We have a few competitors (Lex Machina, DocketNavigator, LawProspector, others) but they each tend to carve out a niche. In the case of Lex Machina and DocketNavigator, both are entirely focused on 1) law firms, and 2) patent litigation. It's a big world out there, and data in law is relatively young and nascent.

In any case, if anyone wants to discuss further, I'd be very happy to share learnings. I'm gene@ the website I mentioned earlier. If anyone is Cambridge/Boston based and interested in the law sector, I'd love to get together!

This is going off on a tangent but I think you are spot on. It isn't just two incomes fueling the credit increase but also the insanely low interest rates. I don't think female workforce participation will/should go down, but I wonder if interest rates will ever go up to reasonable levels and pop the real-estate bubble (e.g. in Canada)? I have friends with crappy income situations buying houses for 600K+. I've been trying to hold off for as long as possible but we would really like to plant our roots somewhere (poor immigrant to the Western world so owning land in my new homeland was a dream from childhood). In places like Toronto and Vancouver, buying a home for people of modest means seems financial suicide (perhaps only if you have taken Econ courses). We live in messed up times.
The design intent is almost certainly using Google's "first click free" policy, which primarily applies to newspapers like the NYT or WSJ. Google back in the day struck a deal with the print media: they would remain in Google's index if and only if clicking from a Google search to their articles circumvented their paywall on the first click. If they put only partial content or a full paywall, they'd be delisted. It was not exactly a secret that this would mean that Google would rank scrapers higher for NYT articles than they'd rank the NYT.

Thus, when someone posts a paywalled link to HN, someone inevitably posts the advice "Google the title and click through." (Other than, say, "If you're a working professional, just buy a WSJ and NYT subscription.")
Many news websites will pop up a paywall if you visit a link directly, but won't if you arrive from a Google search.
It's important to realize that when the government makes these sort of comments their intent is usually to enforce it on a per-company basis.

Regarding speed, I am not sure it really is the bee's knees.

The existence of LLVM and the likes, the fact that Javascript got a HUGE speedup in the past 5 years seems to be an indication that it is by essence a factor that can be tuned eventually. I doubt a "slow" language will ever get to be C in that regard, but I also doubt C will ever provide the kind of ease of mind that a more inherently modern and secure language like Rust offers out of the box thanks to its memory management model. And at the end of the day, in a web-centric world, the latter might well be what programmers and users alike happen to care more about.
MDN contains both guides[1] and reference documentation[0] (which I happen to have read some minutes ago). While I have seen the occasional digression on a particular history point that explains some particular design choice, I found references to be often concise, complete, to the point, and correct (even across browsers, providing details if need be). BTW w3schools apparently contains squat about MutationObserver.

That's the fallacy of the GPL. It's less about privacy (YOU Vs big brother) and more about people feeling entitled to free software. All the time.

And now it's too far - you're trying to bankrupt people who aren't big corporations in big suits - but people who felt humble, artistic passion. You think you can act like a mob to crush their dream and gut it out.

This is another example of people swarming like locusts because they fail to understand that other people have mortgages to pay too.

Taken further, the license that Linux falls under makes like all the more miserable for providing your own value and creativity. GPL is truly a minefield for commerce.

Great proof of concept. I think it would also be interesting to have a version that uses public keys instead of/in addition to the checksum for people to publish content that they can edit and it be signed.
It would be nice if Google could make some of the Chrome permissions a bit more fine-grained.

This one needs to "read and change your data on all websites", but with a better extensions architecture could be something much less scary like "read and change your data on the current website whenever you click the extension's icon".

She reported receiving an email a month after a conversation about investing, not a funding meetup. I think a lot of fantasy tends to play into discussions of this topic. Women are not being called sluts just for flirting or being attractive, men are not treating women as prostitutes just because they have money.

Even between men I think "attraction" or getting along well would play a role in deciding to fund somebody. Just because somebody is interested in a woman doesn't imply they just want her body.

What if it's attractive to an investor if a woman is also moving in the same world as she is. So that maybe they have something to talk about at the dinner table?

Who would it be OK for an investor to date?

I know lots of brilliant people who don't write well. If Google doesn't run posts through 10 levels checkers, fine.

Excluding non-turing-complete languages is probably a bad idea technically, as perhaps one wants to promote a toolkit of appropriately-powered languages. (I've seen arguments over "HTML isn't a programming language" before, and really don't care about the of precision when it's unwarranted in the context. Concepts like mathematical functions weren't all that precise until precision was needed.)

"but I think that the analogy might be that if the team is using an interesting technology stack, there's a higher chance the engineers there are of higher caliber"

My experience doesn't support this for a few reasons. One of the main reasons is what I alluded to before, the people interested in "interesting" tech stacks are fadish, even if the tech isn't. In 2-3 years, your "interesting" tech stack becomes "uninteresting" or worse, a bad idea. I remember when java was "interesting" then it was php, then python, then ruby on rails, then scala, clojure, haskel, then backbone, then node.js, then angular, then react, then go and rust, then ....

The job description was a bit disjointed, and she chose to ignore relevant portions and focus on irrelevant ones. The company in question could have done a better job with the posting (wtf is a "B.Sc. in Design"?). On the other hand, her reaction that FizzBuzz is only for some uber CompSci geeks is nonsensical. First sentence from the Wikipedia page for FizzBuzz:

You're largely correct, but there are some pretty substantial differences in the experience.

First, Tesla does actually have some cars you can just buy and go. They're (currently?) the minority, but they're there. They're starting to sell used Teslas, and they also have "inventory cars" which are showroom, test drive, and loaner cars which have finished their corporate service and are ready to be sold.

Second, test drives are pretty key to the whole process (even if you can't test drive the specific car you buy, most people want to test the model) and even that gets caught up in this whole nonsense. Until recently, you couldn't even get a test drive in Virginia. I had to go into Maryland to try one out. Tesla had a showroom in Virginia but they couldn't even let you drive one, let alone sell you one.

Third, in states where they are allowed to sell, you can configure and purchase on site rather than online. The effect is the same, and they're basically just punching the order into the computer for you, but for people who prefer buying from a real person it can matter.

Fourth, taxes and registration are different depending on how you bought it. When I bought mine in Virginia, I had to take delivery in Maryland, and the sale was actually processed in DC. I had DC temporary tags, and I had to handle Virginia registration and pay Virginia sales tax on my own at the DMV. Now that they can sell directly in Virginia, they can handle registration and sales tax themselves, which saves a decent amount of hassle.

Finally, it can affect the post-sales experience in extreme cases. For example, New Mexico is so strict about this stuff that they won't even let Tesla open a service center. You can buy one there, but you'll have to go extremely out of your way to get it serviced.

None of the big ISP's from the 90's "made it". Earthlink, Netcom, Prodigy... They were all either acquired, went bankrupt, or became DSL resellers. They didn't have any content so they were worthless as broadband took over.

There's only a handful of dot-com's still around from those days. Google, Amazon, eBay, Yahoo... AOL would have ran any of those into the ground had they purchased them, and buying ISP's like XO or Covad wouldn't have worked out well, or buying someone like Sun, Cisco, or SGI would also have been a disaster.
My dutch manager has a nice anecdote about how he worked in France and got in trouble when he walked to the labs and talked to the analysts there to get an idea of a project. The Project leader felt extremely bypassed and pissed. In Holland, if you would be pissed you would be considered a dick. Surely if your project members can't be trusted to know things about their project and to be positive about you, you should be fired.

In my company our group leader is judged by all employees every year and we openly discuss what we don't like about his management style. He earns a lot of respect by listening and changing or defending why he doesn't change.

The best managers find a perfect balance between competitive behavior, ego, humbleness and the ability to delegate and trust employees. Yes, the silicon valley eagerness is rewarded and encouraged but you really won't get anywhere if you are a dick. Guess that would make a dutch Steve Jobs impossible. Perhaps it is why we don't have a silicon valley equivalent.
