That's true, but a good cover letter can go a long way toward helping with this. Most cover letters are generic, bland, and obviously copy-pasted from a template. (Or more often from a previous application, sometimes with info about the previous company left in!) A cover letter that talks about something exciting you've done recently, and ideally how it might be related to the job, or even just how it demonstrates skills you'll use in the job (and describes exactly how), is awesome in comparison. A letter like that would absolutely get you an interview with me, almost regardless of experience. One of our current co-op students actually had almost no programming experience on paper; he had actually switched out of a theatre degree iirc. But his cover letter was awesome (the theatre degree probably not being coincidental). Got him the interview, which got him the job, and I haven't regretted it. Just a co-op of course, but the point stands. The cover letter is probably the most important part of your application. Take the time to write a good one.

Your average FPV multirotor is 2.5 lbs of carbon fiber, electronics and motors, and a DC-10's "typical cruise speed" is over 500 mph. The laws of physics aren't on the side of the DC-10 in this case.

There are civil war cannons which fired projectiles with less kenetic energy than that.
I guess it depends on what you mean by "predictions that the ACA would be crippled". Certainly states which chose not to setup their own exchanges and not to tax businesses in order to subsidize healthcare would have much less universal healthcare. Likewise, states that chose to setup their own exchanges and provide subsidies through taxation would see much more universal healthcare. Citizens would continue to benefit from freedom of movement between states in the union, and at least we could sleep at night knowing the judiciary is marginally beholden to the laws of the land as they are actually written.

We're talking about the Solicitor General of Indiana who filed an amicus brief in support of the petitioners [1] -- these are states whose representatives decided they did not want the subsidies, now having those subsidies forced upon them by an outright red-lining of the law of the land under a novel "broader context theory". Personally, that's terrifying to me. The amicus brief is quite well written and summarizes the counter-argument quite well if you're interested in actually hearing a reasonable argument of both sides (rather than the typical political commentary, which is irrelevant to the actual case at hand)

Next perhaps we'll be talking about the "broader context" of the CFAA when the Feds want to expand the scope of hacking charges, or perhaps the "broader context" of mandatory sentencing minimums. I'm sure there's a "broader context" to go along with just about any ideological ax that may presently need grinding, regardless of the ideological slant of the ax grinder.

Well, airports sometimes hire out hawks to keep birds out of the sky, and they intentionally limit the speed of aircraft at altitudes where birds fly. If a multirotor can fly higher than birds (they do), they could pose a significantly greater threat than a flock of birds.

Yes, it logically follows from simple economic principles: if you're competing with other companies for good candidates (which you are), your hit rate will go up if you look for signals that your competitors ignore or reject, because that gives you access to a pool that hasn't already been picked clean. So if most companies prefer candidates who have a college degree, look for candidates who haven't. If most companies are looking for experience in some mainstream language, look for candidates who have experience in something quirky and unusual. If most companies discriminate against candidates outside the age range of 20 to 39, look for candidates outside that age range.

I'll add a note that it's not necessary for every company to do something different. It's perfectly okay for your company to copy the way this one did things. It's perfectly okay for five or ten companies to do that. Only if a large fraction of the market starts copying a particular strategy, do you need to switch to something else.
Drones will have trouble with overhead obstacles and packages above a certain weight for a while, I think.

Google has really gone too far in this case. "Do No Evil" can no longer apply to them.
There are apps that just bring value to Society, apps that "push the boundaries". Robin is one of them. In the case of such apps, they should be treated differently than "Me Too apps" (or monetization apps). In the case of such apps Google and society in general should treat them with compassion. They should enable them to thrive and so they can continue to add value to mankind. In the case of Robin especially Google should have requested the app developers to fix what needs to be fix and enable the app to continue from the point of suspension.
Google - please consider!

Ask HN: A question for ios developers/pm's (to validate an idea)
would you be interested in an online app debugging tool that:

1) would tell you who is using your app? (like chartbeat, but for apps)
2) see all properties/tags set by devices, let you filter & inspect devices
3) be able to change properties online, etc and see it affect the app
I just tried it on a 35MB log file and it gave me an alert that said it was gonna be sluggish, then took about 20s to actually open the file I requested (I could navigate to other tabs in the meantime but there was no indication that anything was happening), and then once the file appeared, it took another 20s to become responsive. Searching for a string which appeared in the second line of the file took over 30s, probably because it was searching the entire file to highlight all matches, and all the while, it was completely unresponsive. Then when I tried to close the file, the entire editor hung and eventually gave me a "this tab is not responding" dialog. I clicked "wait" and it took another 10s and the window finally closed.

All in all I'd say the experience editing large files still completely sucks compared to every other editor I use.

Don't get me wrong, I still love and use Atom, but they really need to come up with a solution to this problem, because it's just ridiculous. The fact that I have to occasionally leave my text editor to edit certain text files is a huge black eye that many people won't put up with, and which I will eventually get tired of putting up with if they don't do something about it soon.

One thing I think they could do is take advantage of the fact that when you are editing a file that large, you don't expect to have a particularly good experience with the scrollbar. I don't open a file with 10 million lines and grab the scrollbar to get to the spot I'm looking for; it's just not practical. Over a certain size, they really don't need to have the entire buffer in memory at once, and maybe they don't even need a usable scrollbar so much as they need good relative navigation and search. It would be perfectly reasonable in my opinion to have a "large file mode" for the editor window that has subtly different behavior that makes it not so ridiculously heavy.

My wife, who is into graphic design swears by mindmap.
This is a great and such a underrated topic. Thanks for bringing out.

There are 3 things that I practice and I feel has guaranteed wins.

1. Fitness-
Damn Right. Several people have given the reason. and its as simple as putting half and hour, 5 days a week in moving your body. Keeps you physically fit and mentally robust. At times I have realized that my mental activeness is directly proportion to the exercise and my fitness level.

2. Family and Friends-
Yes, they are the support mechanism. Talking to them and taking some time out to talk to one of your closest friends(friend/mom/wife) will help you shift your focus from your business into people that matter to you. Believe it or not at some point you will realize that relationships and people matter the most and investing in them is a worthwhile guaranteed win.

3. Fun-
The part would be just having fun, doing something that you love. The best part is you can easily fit it into your daily schedules. Just after your office hours, give 30 minutes unwinding yourself by doing a hobby that you love (e.g. reading a book, writing the journal, playing that guitar, singing songs, playing basketball). Life is short and ultimately everyone makes money so that they could have fun or do what they love, why not do it everyday. It helps you completely detach yourself from your day at office. Fun everyday, keeps stress away.

lol, I'd like to see Sublime opening a multi-GB file. It certainly can't handle more than 50 MB on Windows, and that was after waiting 30 minutes for it to load.
I disagree.

When Instagram was first released, it was a necessarily shallow product. They needed to put out an MVP to see if it was a product people wanted and if it was an implementation that would stick.

Once it started taking off, they realized they needed to add depth to their product. Depth usually means features but not always. So stuff like editing, more photo editing tools, more filters.

It's hard to appreciate all the depth they've added to the product over the years. Even then, they're probably unique in that they had to spend A LOT of their time scaling but if they didn't have as many scaling issues then I bet we would have gotten some of this depth much earlier in Instagram's life.

Remember, Instagram started off as a super simple app with maybe 8 or so filters. Now you have tons of filters, multiple cropping options, panning, colorations, etc etc. It can now almost go toe to toe with most of the dedicated photo editing apps in the App Store. People used to go to another app to do more advanced editing and then come back to Instagram to maybe drop a filter on top and share with their friends. Even some styles of filters weren't available on Instagram so people used 3rd party apps just for a particular filter.

Today, people do all of this inside the app itself, effectively cutting out those third parties that enjoyed a lot of success during the early days of the app store. Now that Instagram has sufficient depth, users don't have to get kicked out to 3rd parties for most of their editing needs, even some of the more advanced actions. This is what I define as "sufficient" depth.

Once sufficient depth is achieved, they can buy some time to focus on other things (like the Hyperlapse experiment). How do you know if a product has reached this mystical "sufficient depth"?

Well that, my friend, is an art.
> Restaurants who don't want to manage delivery drivers can outsource it to postmates.

I don't see that as a viable option for most restaurants, unless postmastes can absolutely guarantee that a courier will be out delivering their orders within 10 minutes of them being completed by the kitchen and delivered within 30 minutes after pickup.

And at that point, if you're basically paying postmates to constantly have a courier on call for your restaurant, why wouldn't you just hire a driver? They mostly make minimum wage and live off of tips, and they pay for their own car, insurance, gas, etc.

I knew a delivery driver once, and he was not a happy man.

What about resume styles that focus on "You should hire me if you need X..." with a listing of strengths rather than rote "Seeking a position that Y". Then the CV builds towards that with concrete examples.

As others have said, it isn't hard at all. It's just Git. You can host your Git projects anywhere you want. To be fair, Github has reasonable prices and even though I complain about the strange UI, there is a lot of good functionality. The strangely named "Network Graph" has saved my butt more than once.

I have been thinking, though, that I don't like the workflow associated with commenting out of band. I would really prefer that people comment by making a branch and modifying my PR (either with code comments or just fixing the problems directly). If I knew how to do that efficiently, I probably would have almost no attachment left to GH.

What better way to measure two Liskov substitutable[1] approaches?

Factoring out extraneous computations in order to measure performance differences between two abstractions allows empirical analysis of those implementations themselves.

> This kind of performance benchmark, IMO doesn't represent real world applications where people either parallelize computational heavy operations or IO latencies.

That is not what this benchmark measures. It measures the performance difference between scalaz.Task and scala.concurrent.Future. The conclusions are drawn from the author's measurements between these two substitutable Monads.

What those containers eventually schedule is moot it this specific context.

The article doesn't seem well-sourced (their graph is a screenshot from a slide that says "confidential", and you can't make out the text that might be a reference). But the point was that the chassis isn't a big part of the footprint which isn't contradicted by their claims.

Note that the slide is not talking about the same measure (co2), the slide screenshot is titled "total environmental system damage" which smells a bit like picking an rarely-used but favourable metric here.

And that generated C code is quite amusing to boot!
It seems like I say this every time we have this thread, but anyway here goes:

The problem here is not that massive, nearly record-setting levels of wealth disparity are unfair, or even that people are unhappy. If everyone, or nearly everyone, is materially taken care of, it can be difficult to talk about fairness or happiness. What we're losing out on isn't fairness but self-determination - a democracy can't survive long if a fraction of a percent of the population controls half the wealth. Wealth may not literally equal power, but there is an exchange rate there and it stays pretty stable over time. If a concentration of wealth leads to a concentration of power, that will undermine a democracy which can only work if power is relatively more diffuse. We may be finding out the hard way that capitalism and democracy are not compatible, and if they aren't then so far capitalism appears to be winning.

The monthly bills for small purchases of SaaS fits on what could be expensed on a corporate card. By the time IT gets wind, the product has already infiltrated the organization.

The step function is about techniques for analyzing discontinuous functions. You can create discontinuous functions by multiplying a normal continuous function by the unit step function. Which was at the time a new thing. It took the mathematical community a long time to get comfortable the techniques. Indeed if you take college math they call it the 'unit step function' in order to avoid referring to it as the Heaviside equation, which is what it's called if you take engineering math.

Constants, reciprocals, parabolas have been known since the time of the ancient Greeks or earlier. Classically they are called Conic Sections.
