Hi! My team works on analytics at Medallia. Our company's mission is to connect businesses with their customers. My team specifically works on sentiment analysis, topic classification, outlier detection, etc to derive insights from feedback including comments from hotel review sites, transcribed tech support calls, suggestion boxes left at your favorite restaurant, etc.

We've built an 85%+ accurate sentiment classifier which works in six languages, open sourced a Java port of Word2Vec (https://github.com/medallia/Word2VecJava), optimized a language detector for comment data, and are currently working on a semi-supervised topic clustering algorithm. In addition to the research component, our team also handles scalability and real-time distributed processing, processing millions of comments per hour.

If you are passionate about applied machine learning and want to impact the way businesses interact with people, please reach out to me at wko@medallia.com :)

If this sounds way too ML-oriented but you're still curious, fear not! We're also doing some pretty neat stuff with:

Docker - https://github.com/medallia/docker/blob/master/README.md
Swagger - https://github.com/medallia/swagger-codegen/blob/master/READ...
and other stuff - https://github.com/medallia

Programming a CPU is becoming more and more a problem of fitting as much in the data caches as possible. Bandwidth is the problem, not the speed of the execution units. I don't see the huge benefit of an FPGA here.
In robotics, a lot of speed problems can be solved by spending more money on a bigger arm with better acceleration and backlash characteristics, reducing vibration by bolting it down to a stronger bit of floor, making your vision system less blurry by adding more and brighter lighting, avoiding people hitting their heads with a proper guarding system, and possibly throwing more CPU at your processing problem.

These issues are all eminently solvable, but the solutions take time and make the system harder to work on and more expensive, without generating a contribution to knowledge or academic papers.

Better to have a slow system you can transport to demonstrations than a fast system bolted to a lab floor that you can't demo anywhere :)
It's all just a question of cost.

We know how to write software that comes arbitrary close to perfection. But as defects asymptotically approach zero, cost skyrockets.

The interesting question is what technologies can bend that cost/quality curve.

Nginx works well as a reverse-proxy, often in front of Apache or IIS or other application servers. So this isn't really a fair comparison...

I don't know much 'bout the wider world, but FPGAs are hot right now in atomic physics and quantum computing, e.g.

results which were only really possible when those labs started switching to FPGAs from the DACs they'd been using previously.
I almost always use an app over the browser on mobile. Generally, apps are faster, have better mobile UIs, integrate with the OS, and are easier to reach.

To be fair, that is not really SpaceX's fault. It is due to the U.S. laws that make an overly broad definition of what is a weapon, and an overly optimistic belief that the technology can be hidden from dedicated spies.

Strictly speaking, they could hire non-U.S. persons, but that requires a specific individual exemption from the state department. I don't know how hard it is, but I suspect it is only something they would try to do if they really wanted you (i.e. they recruit you, not you apply to them).
Germany is not a tax haven.

Taxing the repatriation of funds that have already been taxed (Eg: Apple sells a Mac in germany, it pays taxes on the profits in germany) is punitive and very rare for a country to do.

Most countries actually want money coming into the country from outside- and call it "foreign investment". This money tends to stimulate the economy and benefit everybody.

The USA is neandrathal in its taxation schemes. Leaving money outside the USA is not "evading" taxes, because no taxes were due (the local taxes were already paid). It's simply not enabling the federal governments' attempts to double dip.

It's curious that vim uses modes and it is actually one of the things I really like about it. A lot of HCI talks about how modes are "evil" because the user can get confused and what mode they are in. I do occasionally issue a command from the wrong mode but I find that the time to correct is usually extremely small and far outweighs having to create more cumbersome bindings that don't have collisions in other modes.

When people started testing programmer candidates on whiteboards people actually did program on paper as part of their normal workflow because computers were expensive:
http://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/51286/how-did...

However, it is strange that the practice is still so widespread long after people stopped programming on paper.

In our company we do not test candidates on whiteboards as part of our hiring process since I find it rather ridiculous and do not want to communicate to our candidates that we follow conventions even when they are obviously stupid.
Hi Scott. We're not using PEAR.

If you are interested in looking at the implementation and other interesting security stuff, we have a lot of security openings:

It's true that writing software requires only computers, and that's it would be too expensive to test it in real situations, when the stakes are high maybe it's also important to do live testing ?
Soylent 1.5 Has Arrived
Asking an imprecisely worded question is sometimes a good way of weeding out people who expect every little requirement defined up front before they work on a problem.

Any idiot can say, "ERROR. Your question was worded ambiguously, please re-state with more detail." Often the better candidate is willing to ask clarifying questions and/or make (and state) reasonable assumptions and move on.
Nice work. My suggestion would be to add a screenshot of the comments.

I spend most of my time on HN reading comments so I'd like to be able to preview how your app handles them before I install the app. I'd like to be able to see at a glance whether you support expanding and collapsing nested comments, how you display the nesting, etc.

A happy medium might be to post a link to the Google search for the title. Clicking on the WSJ link from the result will bypass the paywall. Also I'm not necessarily trying to knock the poster or suggest spamming on the part of WSJ, but he or she has an awful lot of WSJ paywalled posts here [1].

Perhaps calling it "culture fit" is the problem - it's not specific enough. Define more clearly the characteristics and signals you're looking for. Evaluate your team and culture to better identify the characteristics you're trying to match in a candidate. For instance, instead of "culture fit", say you are looking for signals that someone is "passionate about web development", then think about evidence that supports the characteristic: eagerly learning, involvement with development-community, excited about new technology, willing to experiment, etc. You can also provide evidence that shows a candidate isn't "passionate". Just a matter of semantics.

Anybody knows about OS lectures that use this and are freely available?
If you're often running in to the WSJ paywall that means their content is often good, and they fund that content through subscriptions. Their competitors, who you're not running in to very often are not funded through subscriptions.

Maybe subscriptions lead to higher quality content?
If that impresses you, you should definitely go into trading. ;) (How much is the S&P up?)
Well, this is currently highly speculative. What I proposed to Andreas was essentially a model based on Eiffel's SCOOP (with some additional influence from Erlang). Whether it's a practical design remains to be seen.

Note that shared, lockable heaps need not be heavyweight structures. It is entirely possible to imagine a shared hash table with one heap per bucket and fine-grained locking, for example. Collections for such small heaps can be fast because the number of roots is limited, and (depending on what invariants you guarantee), you can even forgo stack scanning for most collections or limit the number of stack frames that need to be traversed.
Don't worry about making it "pretty" specifically. Use line breaks/simple indent/asterisk/hyphen for dot points etc and let clients wrap it.

The problem is all the connecting lines (I haven't seen it on desktop so no idea what it's supposed to look like, but I assume it's the shell-style tree view?)

Edit: Oh sweet merciful crap. I just saw it in mobile safari (which doesn't wrap so it's "desktop like"). Please.
Don't. Do. That. There aren't that many posts in the freelancer thread that you need to somehow game the system by making a big song and dance.
Not to keep harping on this issue because I know we're way off topic, but I'm genuinely curious how the React code can be simplified because this was one of my main pain points using React. Reflux and alt were major improvements over the Facebook flux impl, but they still require the boilerplate I posted above. If you remove that then you have "Flux magic" :)

There's no Ext magic in the code I posted. Flux and MVC are different patterns. In MVC, the controller typically has direct access to the view and model which is why the code is simple:

myView.setLoading(true);
myModel.save(...)

That would look the same in Java Swing for example. Flux is a fundamentally different pattern and one that I really haven't seen the need for in the products we're building to justify it's disadvantages. But for some applications, it's probably the right solution.
Do you think if we could that we should subject every idiocy fueled by alcohol, narcotics, etc., to the court of public opinion. Things that people say in frustration, a fit of rage, etc?

If you were to record surreptitiously everything people said under all circumstances, you'd have a whole bunch of people to castigate and berate. More than you can imagine.

Random feedback:

- No other way to switch to comments other than triple dot menu?

- yes, collapsable comments!

- comments waste a lot of space with whitespace. I like the time formatting on them though

- Maybe add an (optional?) domain hint like on HN?

I'm a 2014 Vanderbilt Engineering grad and just graduated from Hack Reactor. I've been programming since high school and placed first in Vanderbilt's ACM programming contest freshman year. I've worked with startups all throughout college, but I wanted to write production code and move to SF so I went to Hack Reactor. And I also wanted to show that I can pick up anything, so for my thesis project I learned Rust and implemented HTTP/2 features with my team. I'm ready to hit the ground running in any team.

I just went through and installed GPGTools for mac mail, and installed the key into facebook with no issues. (Well I copied just the 'random' set of numbers and the fb site told me to include a bit more of the header/footer of the key ). ]
It all seems to work (perhaps they fixed the issue?)

... the challenge now is how will my email come through on iOS!? Any recommendations for that? I saw https://ipgmail.com/
You're active in a lot of threads, and the more time you spend on HN, the more toxic it will seem. There are a lot of argumentative personalities here and communication in the modern forum format isn't very good (where everyone always has to rush to write replies before a thread becomes inactive and is replaced by the next active thread). So it can lead to friction and people's nerves get frayed.

It sounds like a silly thing to say at first glance, but the less actively you participate on HN (or Reddit, or Slashdot, or probably most places), the better the community seems.

Otherwise it's too easy to make the mistake of getting really invested in the small dramas, like this one.
Not at all. Simple things like instanceof / typeof checks can be resolved without a static type system. Because with a const everything is known about the const in question. Obviously the const prototype may change but then again if the const has a frozen prototype - that too can have static analysis applied to it.

I am simply repeating the well-known benefits to immutables which is completely orthogonal to a type system, static or otherwise.
I missed it too... so far over my head I frowned and muttered something about chemtrails.
Rand Paul lead the charge to expire the Patriot Act
Rand Paul defended our liberty passionately last night against this program.

The author of the patriot act said, "it wasn't meant to collect everyone's metadata"

The law says, "you can only collect things that are relevant to an investigation"

The 2nd circuit court ( one below supreme court ) said, "it's not relevant because it might be relevant some day"

The NSA director said to congress, "we're not collecting this stuff wittingly", then later said,"i forgot about that", and he still has a job.

The president says, "congress should do something about this", when he could do something about it since it was executive order

We knew Tsnarnov was suspicious, but we didn't know he went back to Chechnya to become more radicalized, because perhaps we were too busy looking at too many records instead of following up with known suspicions. Then he bombed Boston.
Agreed. If JavaScript only had a hygienic macro system I could have written 'let' (and a whole bunch of other forms) for myself a long time ago.
> Diversity visa is your example, really? Diversity visa is completely random, that's what it's called the lottery.

All the quota-limited immigration visa categories are distributed, among those qualified, by lottery. Diversity visa aren't called "the lottery", the process for assigning all quota-limited visas is called that. The diversity visa is expressly skill-qualified, permanent, and independent of employer sponsorship.

> Employment based immigration requires an employer sponsor to file a petition.

True. For most employment-based categories, though there are several exceptions.

> Does not refute my point that there is no independent skilled permanent immigration scheme.

"independent" was never stated previously. The original claims were that there was no skill-based permanent immigration system and that it was all family-based. Permanent immigration to the US is not all family-based, as there are family-based, employment-based (most categories of which are skill-qualified), and diversity (which is skill-qualified) immigrant (permanent) visas.
There is a screenshot with comments (last picture), but thanks for the feedback :)
From talking with the corp dev guys at my company it sounds like they (the corp dev guys) get pitched via email and make calls to companies they're interested in.
I hope that MS treats these acquisitions seriously.

Sunrise is lagging a bit on the Mac dekstop - it still cannot connect to Exchange - and the mobile first craze is starting to look like desktop becoming a never reached second.

Desktop and mobile integration is where I believe success lies, and hope that Wunderlist (and Sunrise) continue to be universally usable.
oh! yeah, that does make more sense; i was thinking of something like a qt webview.
That's awesome! :)

I am going to implement polyphony, I just decided to release early, since monosynth is still a playable instrument.

And it definitely will be a switch option (mono/poly), because I just love the monosynth style of playing.

JSX doesn't break line numbers in error messages because JSX to JS transform preserves line numbers.

I think you're perhaps focusing on the PyCon case while I'm speaking only of the FHRITP case. If your "idiocy fueled by alcohol" is volunteering offensive answers to a reporter, on television, you've entered the court of public opinion on your own accord.
Whiteboard tests are already stupid, but some companies take it to another level. The last time I went to get interviewed by Amazon, they told me to write a complete, syntactically correct, "ready to go into production" code (I was literally told this). I didn't get that job.

They did even worse when my friend was interviewed by them. He was told to write production quality code on a whiteboard, and when he did that, they asked for an explanation, and clicked a photo of it through their smartphone to evaluate it later, probably on a real compiler. Really, when you can't even understand production quality code on a whiteboard by yourself, how do you expect people to write it in a tense setting?
This seems like a pretty cool idea!
Where can I follow?
Callbacks? Users PII? There's really no good ways to do phone verification. You can't use any kind of shared secrets as people forget those.
Someone from big C(M&A division?) typically calls you and says "We would like to explore if it is possible to we can work together". As part of it, they may ask you to do a small project for them, asap (This is to test your speed of execution. I believe it happened in case of Google Docs). If they like it, they will ask for company financials/Growth numbers etc
