Except of course that that would make it completely boring to play, so why would you do that? This, I can't help feel, is kind of the point. It's the part of the game that's encoded socially rather than algorithmically that make it unique and interesting.

As stated before, there are ways to avoid them and ways that Nim will soon handle them, but do you know how many other languages deref a NULL pointer? Unlike C, this does not result in undefined behavior in means that it will execute something unsafe in Nim

SEEKING WORK

Location: Cambridge, MA (Across the river from Boston, MA) or Remote

7 years of experience building web apps with whatever stack you use. For my own side-projects I tend to reach for Python (Flask) or Rails for the backend but have also worked with Django, Lua and many a PHP framework. I also work on the client-side/frontend doing Backbone, Angular and some preprocessed work in SASS and Coffeescript, although regular ol' CSS and JS are fine as well. I recently shipped a mobile web app that was entirely built and rendered in JS and hosted in a single s3 bucket. Also experienced with MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, Memcached, Amazon Redshift and MongoDB and have setup AWS infrastructure to handle heavy traffic loads.

My first job was doing inbound marketing and I have deep experience in the advertising vertical as well, although I'm by no means tied to them and want to work wherever I can create the most value.

#2: You are building a feature app on top of Apple's "Health" solution. They'll add streaks to their solution, and you're done.

This feedback only matters if you are focused on making money long term on this. Essentially: what is your competitive advantage that you can actually sustain?

Edit: I'm asking a legitimate question, you can stop down voting.
I have a friend that used to do embedded programming for nuclear power plants.

From what he said they have 5 systems, two running software from vendor a, two from vendor b, and another running software from vendor c for failsafe. A quorum have to agree, if any don't it gets pulled out of service and analyzed why it wasn't the same output. If you get down to one there is still a mechanical failover but at that point you're already bringing things down. 3 at any time was considered a critical failure. Two at once would be full stop time.

I'd presume planes are similar. I know the space shuttle did the same at least so I assume the technique is common.
>Soil loss and desertification is generally caused by excessive tillage, not by chemical use.

It's both. Herbicides wipe out soil-stabilizing fibrous root networks. Fungicides wipe out soil-stabilizing mycelial mats. Nitrogen fertilizers poison the microbial environment in healthy soil (with about a trillion organisms per cc), destroying a significant source of organic matter. Insecticides kill off the earthworms, which aerate the soil allowing it to soak rain instead of running off (taking soil with it).

Any fertilizer that's mined out of the ground is obviously transient, so the ability to have a food system without fertilizer is a Very Important Thing.
I have a bootleg copy 3rd or 4th generation copy of Chainworld (two or three people had it before me). I won't speak about what I've seen though.

I LOVE the idea of Chainworld. And the fact that it the chain splintered and forked actually reflects religion - Christianity has many different forks.

Most of our users at the time we got investigated were physically located in the same office space as us. We gave them a printout with the league rules and fielded questions in person. Based on their feedback and questions, we were updating our FAQs and peripheral pages.

> I do understand the appeal for automatic car parking, though, as the facility can be more space-efficient then.

Yeah for cars it may work, but I don't see it becoming big.

1) Capital expenditure to build a facility that can move cars which weigh 4000 pounds on average I don't think ever will be economical

2) We're a few years away from automatically parking cars, and a few decades from most cars having this ability. Much sooner than the possibility of seeing thousands of mechanised car parks around the world.

But yeah it does make more sense than bikes. The issue with bikes here for example is throughput. If you look at the bike facility video you see there's one entrance, and one person waiting for the single-bike bandwidth facility to retrieve or store his bike. That's actually very poor considering places where parking is an issue, you tend to have hundreds of people picking up or storing their bikes during peak hours. Which means you end up needing multiple horizontal and vertical lanes and/or multiple facilities. All of this is pretty expensive, and the lanes used for robots might as well be used for people doing it manually. For cars throughput is also a problem but not as much, as here we have about 18 bikes and 8 cars for every 17 people, and the bikes are used more frequently. (i.e. you might drive from and to work once, but you'll bike from and to work, friends, grocery store, drinks in the evening, school etc), which means throughput is probably a bit more difficult for bikes, which is where machines do poorly considering adding bandwidth increases cost and decreases space efficiencies, which is the only thing this storage has got going for it. (besides security).
So who is actually running Reddit these days? Because a CEO involved in very high-profile personal litigation likely doesn't have the time to be a very effective CEO.
Could the fact that you are a co-creator have something to do with the sticking power?

I see you feel strongly about this.

"The point of Metropolis-Hastings is to sample from a distribution when you do not know the partition function."
That's one point, yes. The other is optimization. In which case I prefer the others I mentioned.

"they do not seem to have either theoretical justification or empirical success."
That's just patently false. They _do_ have empirical success. And besides, a lot of these variants have MH implemented inside of them to some extent o.o

"MH is embarrassingly parallel since you run multiple chains at the same time."
I can make six single grilled cheese sandwiches in 2 minutes, but it takes me 8 minutes to make a 6-decker grilled cheese. Is that a parallel process?

"Being 100 years old is also largely irrelevant."
In my opinion it is relevant since computation can now be done in completely new ways than 100 years ago.
Thanks. I was under the impression that it was some channel for experimenting with education. Whoops.
Kensho, Boston, MA (Cambridge), Stamford, CT, New York, NY (NYC): FULL TIME Software Engineers, SRE, UX or UI Designers ONSITE

Why does any company make open source software, then? WebKit, Android, OpenGL, and OpenCV (Intel) are certainly hard to develop.

OSS development has proven to be a useful tool as part of greater business models.
Perhaps this has already been said and I missed it, but Facebook has the capability to be a pretty neat public key repository.

You could have a pretty high degree of confidence that the public key associated with a Facebook account belonged to the account owner.

Hopefully they'll be come kind of API (if there isn't already).

Either way, I hope http://keybase.io lets me add my Facebook profile now!
They call that "I-Banking" or "Investment Banking" where I come from.
This may be an unpopular view, but I can understand why they did this. Without a fine, we wouldn't be talking about this, and they'd have to spend time and money trying to find and stop this kind of thing in the future.
LabVIEW makes the syntactic stuff a lot easier, but as soon as you want a modular program or you want to create something polished, it stops working the way you want it to.

And I'd argue that it's because LabVIEW is meant only for R&D purposes. It does work fairly well for FPGA-based applications but that's often because those programs are fairly compact and uncomplicated when done right.

I wish there were a more modular and useful version of LabVIEW (or G or whatever the language is called) because I'd like to use something like that. Not having to worry about execution order is a marvelous thing, and it really transforms the way one thinks.
I feel conflicted about giving publicity to someone who "doesn't believe in" vaccination.

Planet Labs (http://planet.com/) in San Francisco, CA has a large number of positions open. We're a collection of electrical, mechanical, aerospace, software, science, etc. folks looking to image the whole planet on a daily basis with a large number of small satellites. It's a terrific bunch of folks doing what we call "agile aerospace".

I've personally been with the company for almost a year, working on "Mission Control", an internal web app for managing the satellites and make life easier on our "Spaceship Captains" -- the operators who manage them. This is definitely one of the most interesting and fun roles I've had in my career (and I've had a few).

Python (Flask, Django) and Javascript (React, Backbone) are used heavily in the web projects. We of course have systems programming to do for the onboard software. Plenty of other interesting work from the satellite design and various subsystems, manufacturing, georectification of images, image corrections, and heaps of possibilities with a supremely interesting dataset that we're growing.

Some gigs are onsite only, others may be available to remote workers.

Well, part of my point is that the whiteboard isn't really the issue, it's just the most egregious aspect of the situation.

You say if you're in person, pair program. But where, on what computer, doing what, in what editor, etc? All these things plus the inherent pressure of the situation make the experience unpleasant enough, and the results unreliable enough, that you just shouldn't do it in my opinion.

World War II: Loss of Life Visualized [video]
An F-22 had a FCS failure and didn't realize takeoff. The pilot didn't do a IBIT on the FCS as required, therefore wasn't aware that all 3 rate sensors latched up. The jet was uncontrollable once it left the ground, and the pilot ejected safely. [0]

As I recall, they modified the sensors to avoid latch up (extra pullup resister) and updated the FCS software to provide a warning if all 3 sensors return zero output. Even though this wasn't really an error in the FCS software, It could be argued that it failed to detect an erroneous input from 3 redundant sensors that latched up for the same reason.

This is a classic example of a pilot who misunderstood the pre-takeoff checklist procedure and cost the USAF a $325m aircraft.

Please wait until you're hiring to post. These threads happen every month.
It's a good thing. If the take-away from my post was that it wasn't then I'm sorry for not conveying that more up front.

Again, I'm responding to the grand-parent post that said this would be good for abuse victims. It's not all that great, but that doesn't mean it's useless.
I find it interesting that my parent comment has been voted down to -1 (without reasons provided as to why) while the child comments seem to imply a lively discussion.

If you are going to down vote, at least say why (other than zzalpha's pointless assertion)

Here's how I see FPGA in a perfect world: You have an x86 compiler that finds, through static analysis, a subset of your program that fits nicely on your FPGA, and according to performance models leads to a good speedup. This program is then automatically passed on to the FPGA compiler. So for the novice programmer the thing is just a black box, enabled by some compiler flag. Furthermore you can steer the compiler through usage of compiler directives such as OpenMP or OpenACC. We know that FPGA compilation takes a long time, so the problem here is fixing mistakes - every iteration may potentially cost you hours, which AFAIK is what makes FPGA programming so costly. Therefore the static analysis has to be of very high quality and the auto-offloading should be conservative. This sort of thing IMO could significantly change the popularity of FPGA, thus offsetting the R&D costs.
I upvoted you because I think it's good feedback.

In actual fact, Apple have just shown their hand with this with the Apple Watch daily goals. It's somewhat similar, yet I think both can co-exist easily.

In fact, I use both. Streaks doesn't rely on the Health app, but once the prototype was up and running it was clear the app was superior with HealthKit integration so it became a bigger part of the app.

Apple are investing heavily in the health-related aspects of iOS. Your argument could be applied to any app that integrates with the Health app.

(Side note: I also make public transport apps for iOS, so I'm well aware of how things can go, with all the rumours circling about transit announcements at WWDC)

Oh, wow. Takes a lot of cluelessness to not notice it was a joke.
The Australian National University teaches a course in Snap aimed at non computer science majors.

Whilst I was originally skeptical of the language and thought it might be "babyish" I was pleasantly surprised to see how expressive it was. Most of the labs use a javascript-y like object model behind the scenes and provide useful functional programming primitives (map/fold/etc <3).

The response from the students thus far has been pretty great. Some of them are looking into taking more programming courses as part of their degrees; often very separate from computer science. I'm not sure if we would have gotten this result chucking them straight into a CS101 course.

No it isn't, people leave college with many times that amount of debt. Split it up between you, ask to get into a payment that's capped at a % of your income, work it off over a year or two. Make copies of your bank statements and your tax returns to confirm that you are in fact poor. You could probably make the money back in speaking fees or writing an e-book about your experience and what you learned (rather than how pissed off you are).

Yeah, it's a lot of cash, but I've been billed more than that for a night in the ER when I didn't have insurance. And seriously, it was up to you to think about the fact that this was bound to attract regulators' attention and that the time they spent on you is currently being picked up by taxpayers. I know you want to compare yourselves with bucket Shops, which you think played an important role in democratizing/disrupting finance a century ago, but this whole idea of 'a chance for regular folk to get in on the action!' is unfortunately the same sort of psychology that con artists use to qualify their marks.

Honestly, if one of you had done an ask HN about whether this was a viable thing people here would have told you why not and what you needed to do to be legit.

Edit: come to think of it, I'm surprised your mentors int he Accelerator didn't point out this very obvious pitfall to you.

In addition to what others have said here; often recursive calls can also trivially be optimized into loops by the compiler.

This is very convenient in most cases, but could hide the fact that a direct recursive call will overflow your stack.

This isn't apparent and would test out ok until someone makes a small; seemingly insignificant change which the compiler can't do tail call optimization on, and all of a sudden things fail.
More than 20 years ago, I used a C interpreter called EiC.

Hmm, someone tried to resurrect it on SourceForge a couple of years ago, it seems, but it's dead again.

Centuries of religion argue against this; instead, people tend to make up a ton of story to 'smooth over the cracks'. I agree that people are better at things they are interested in, but it's just not true that having a strong opinion makes you better at it. Check out the 'autism vaccers' as another counter-example.
