# Java Programmer [ONSITE]

Under the supervision of a senior software engineer, this position will participate in research and development of a media monitoring back-end. This position is required to participate on all aspects of harvesting big data streams, processing, analyzing and storing information in a distributed architecture (Hadoop) and delivering relevant documents to a web front-end with sub-second performance.

Yep. Spend way too much time on it but it was my first real web design. Come from an agency background where I worked with designers.

Another reply mentioned how the same questions can be asked of people joining the US military. And I'll add the examples of buying clothing made in sweatshops, hi-tech devices made in sweatshops, blood diamonds, bottled water, and even factory-farmed meat if your concern for suffering extends beyond human suffering.

It's easy to ignore the consequences of your choices when they do not directly impact you or the people you know and care about. I am not crying 'hypocrisy!' here--I take part in these systems too--only pointing to things that many of us do that can be viewed with equal abhorrence by those who pay attention to them. And I think that is the answer to your question: it's all in what you pay attention to.
Ah yes your mailbox is _THE_ benchmark for the world.
I agree that this is better than parachutes , but not because of the cost of the plane. If your engine is failing, your plane failed you and isn't worth saving. that's what insurance is for : ) the moment you pull a parachute (for example the CAPS on the cirrus , the plane is totaled anyway).

The most dangerous place to have a failure is during initial take off (low hour student pilot here). The engine kicking on would give you a chance to actually do what is nearly impossible in this circumstance, get back to the airport safely without a stall.

As I understand usually the most dangerous circumstances are the one above described, stalling on base or final approach to runway and flying from VFR (clear of clouds with visibility) into IMC poor weather conditions.

Both of those circumstances wouldn't benefit from a backup engine. : (

As other people in the threads have posted, Fuel Starvation, water condensation in the fuel, some of those situations this would definitely help, but all of those conditions are 100% preventable with proper pre-flight planning and inspections.

Have you really never heard of the benefits of the placebo response? Plus there's the social benefits of people focusing on good things and potentially manifesting them, and the community benefit of coming together to pray, and psychological benefits are a possibility, although I don't think that's well-studied (or even measurable?) enough to start that debate.

Prayer is like meat - it isn't for everyone, but if you're not getting it you have to be careful not to miss out on certain things.
Why do you feel that way? Biologically that's not really the way humans were designed. It's unfortunate that the modern first world economy and society is so incompatible with biology.
Interesting, thanks for the reference. Though paragraphs like

"But these “linear trend lines” based on the three previous years of data aren’t really useful. The authors’ projection shows that births would actually increase a bit during the period CFPI was put in place, despite the fact that, like the abortion rate, the teen birth rate is declining nationally, noticeably and steadily."

are somewhat bizarre. The entire point of using the trend lines is to take into account, well, the trend. Still, good to know the counterarguments, otherwise you're just listening to the echo chamber of "Well, of COURSE the program would work!"
>The idea behind the word "shareware" is that you "shared" the demo version with your friends, and anyone who wants to buy a licence can.

Not many people did that even at the time. Most people got their shareware from magazine disks, BBS, early internet shareware sites (TuCows, VersionTracker, CNET downloads, etc), and even the mail. So it's not like "sharing between friends" was essential to the market (the name "shareware" was a coincidental result of a magazine contest asking readers to find a generic name for this type of software).

And, as you say, it doesn't make much sense now either, because we have the internet. If someone wants, he can just send a link to a friend to download it himself (or 10 other ways of "recommendations").
For the same reason they don't make washing machines, or sell apples, or build houses - they believe their money is better spent on other things. Apple think they'll make more money in the long term innovating on consumer electronics.

That said, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see an Apple car within 5 years of the first autonomous vehicles going on public sale.
Not sure if we should give most software companies the label "high tech". I think that should be reserved for really innovative companies in the fields of energy or biology, or... software if it is truly innovative.

If a company is working with HTML and CSS and perhaps some tools pulled of github, then, imho, that's not high-tech. Or what would we call a company working on nuclear fusion, or on protein synthesis?
If the plant doesn't use all the extra chlorophyll as the article suggests, then what purpose does it serve when competing against other plants. From what I gleaned from the article, this in my mind is akin to a track athlete having 50 pairs of shoes outperforming an athlete that only has 1. If the athlete can't use all 50 pairs of shoes at once, then what benefit do they offer?

Can you clarify your interpretation of that statement because I don't get it.
At first I thaught "Searching Twitter for a better pangram" was the pangram.

It's not so simple. There are network effects at play(if we're talking about shared trips) - and those are hard to fight against , even for large companies like Google and Apple.

Have you had the same work hours for 2 years straight? That seems somewhat uncommon, unless you've worked at the same place in the same position for that long.

My current schedule, I would be asleep for most of your eating window. In the past 6 years, my working schedule has rotated around the entire 24 hour clock - early morning shifts, midday shifts, swing shift, early overnight shift, late overnight shift. My eating rotates around with my work shift, eating a small meal before work, a small one during (whenever during the day or night the shift is, there's a "lunch" break almost in the exact center) and a large meal after work.

The term "bailout" is too ambiguous. The lefties prefer some form of debt-forgiveness combined with other measures for eventual partial debt repayment. Most importantly, the lefties don't want to cut Greek pensions and certain other state spending. As Varoufakis explained it, he wants qualitative reforms rather than parametric reforms. Instead of "cut spending by another X percent", he wants reforms such as consistent enforcement of tax collection. In contrast, the IMF, etc. are trying to take the easy way out by asking for parametric austerity increases -- keep doing the same thing, just more harshly -- which is unlikely to succeed.
Isn't it a bit silly to throw away every single @<user> tweet? Imagine I'm having a twitter conversation with my friends about who can make the best pangram and this data is ignored just because we're tweeting @ each other?

I'm guessing that the majority of tweets will reference a person. How about just stripping that @word from the tweet?

Isn't this what Lyft does? I'm guessing Uber put some money in a reporter's pocket to submarine them in this article instead.
It seems that we almost reached the limit of Moore's law. 5nm seems to be a physical limit at least for sustainable changes of current technologies.
Yeah, it's hard to have a productive life with always moving targets.

With git, github and software managers pulling directly from it (although a decentralization way could be even better), I wish we get more often software by hash so we stop worrying less about copping with new changes and more about doing what matter to us.
Why would you expect an increase in STDs? Are you assuming that free IUDs and implants are encouraging more teenagers to have more sex? Is it leading to sexual behavior that displaces other safer forms of sex (that were leading to teenage pregnancies)?

The preoccupation with STDs in this thread seems a bit weird and irrational.
The number of households who answer in the affirmative when asked by pollsters has certainly dropped in that time period.

Right. It's a sort of asymmetric thrust, coaxial twin. Very unusual, and clever too.

No, you really don't.
Just FYI, it's Uber, not UBER. It's not an acronym.
That may explain why Broadwell isn't significantly faster than Sandy Bridge, but I don't understand how it has anything to do with this announcement. How does 10nm being delayed 1 year have anything to do with integrating graphics?

> Recently however I've started using sampling profilers and flamegraph representations[0]

Maybe you should take a closer look at what pprof does and not draw conclusions only from Python's line_profiler. Go's profiler doesn't have flamegraphs, but it has directed graphs. Here's an example:

https://rawgit.com/benbjohnson/5b4fb2ffb6874484e586/raw/60af...

As you can see, it is very easy to see the bottlenecks. In fact the first thing I always do when profiling is outputting this svg to have a good first view of what's happening.

pprof is a "global" whole-program profilers, so you don't need to care about what line to profile or not. My only limitation for the moment is that you can't dive in cgo code.

Lyft certainly lets you take more that 2 drives per day, and certainly not just too and from work. Also, at least in some locales Lyft has gotten rid of the "donation" fiction as many local laws explicitly state that any type of payment counts as a ride-for-hire.

This is basically just a carpooling app, and is nowhere near a rival to Uber or Lyft.

And given the USA third world level (mental) health care system, and the general belief that most mass killers are pretty well insane, it is ridiculous to compare the USA with 1st world countries with 1st world (mental) health care systems.
I wasn't trying to be polemic, it's just easier to understand "Germany" than "Troika", since there's an obvious public purse and a visible public figurehead to attach to in your mind's eye.

Also, there is more to it than polemics. I think Germany's political traditions and biases largely driving these policies and also their interests (as direct lenders and as the country housing the interested banks). Angela Merkel is not officially part of the Troika, but her role in it is still real. Germany underwrote loans.

You are right that it's not strictly true. But using the terms Troika or listing the institutions isn't more true, it's obfuscating. It's not clear what those acronyms mean.

I'm also not right wing (or left). I'm critical of the EU, but I care because I want it to succeed. I disagree with a lot of technical aspects but I am wholeheartedly in favor of the true goals of the EU: solidarity and peace. I believe the EU will give us our first 100 years of peace and our second.

So comes the <del>hypocrisy</del>inconsistency of the conservative rationale.

Cigarettes are a far more potent carcinogen than estrogen and progestogen (the Pill). However when it comes to smoking, conservatives believe the government shouldn't interfere and say it's "Personal Choice."

When it comes to birth control, they want government to limit access on the grounds of morality, and (dubious) health claims.

The Public Research Institute is an anti-abortion, anti birth-control group in leagues with the Catholic Church and thinly veiled under the guise of "Humans Rights Advocate" for Chinese.
Surviving the test of time is the ultimate empirical evidence. In fact I'd go so far to say it's the ONLY way we can test the truth of anything at all. This goes for anything, from biological systems (evolution), technical design - the wheel, to research papers. Look in your fridge: most of the food there has been consumed for thousands of years using basically the same cooking method and is for the most part considered healthy. The recent synthetic foods like margarine and recent cooking methods like deep frying are detrimental to health.

Keep in mind, practiced over 'x' amount of time where x > 2000 years.

That Wikipedia article says that Germany did not fully pay its debt to Greece. So, I don't see your point.

If Greece was not on the Euro, it would simply print money and inflate its currency until it could easily pay off it's debts. That gives you the same result as what Germany did, which was to basically only pay off some of their debt and just forget about the rest. The debtors lose, but hey, that's the risk for loaning money, right?
>And while I believe it's true that not every woman in tech gets harassed, it's obvious that a much higher percentage of them get this sort of shit than men. And it only gets worse as they get more visible for the good work that they're doing.

Well of course. Assume that 1/x of men harass and 2/x (ie twice as high a fraction) of women harass. Since this industry has so many more men than women more women will be harassed than men, even if each individual man is less likely to harass.

Once you understand how git works under the hood it's actually fairly easy to predict that performance will be poor. A simple checkout involves accessing 100s if not 1000s of objects. Also, you can't fetch these all at once because the objects you need to fetch are determined based on a nested tree. So you have to query the tree all the way down, getting each nested tree or blob based on the previous tree's contents. So ultimately you're doing 100s-1000s of queries for any given git command. Each query is fast, but even at 1-2 ms per query it adds up quickly.

IMO they have. Google maps (at least on Android) now shows me traffic incidents reported on Waze, and it will route me around these incidents in real time as I'm driving somewhere, e.g. "A faster route has become available. Say 'OK' to take this route."
On HN it is. Let's face it, that's the way it works on Reddit too, the difference is that HN aren't sanctimonious pricks about it.
The article is saying 10nm is delayed indefinitely. The supporting evidence is not there. Intel is not commenting, and kaby lake likely just means that 10nm will take more time. After 14nm broadwell was delayed a year, this is not a big surprise to anyone.

But the difference is that in this puzzle you can deduce that something is wrong by just using logic: In the absence of any hints, you'd just consider everything true. This obviously does not lead to a solution, as the red box states that one box lies. When you come to this point, you might wonder why you were trusting the boxes in the first place and reconsider your assumptions, i.e. not putting any trust in what the boxes say. After this step you realise that there suddenly is not enough information to determine which box the treasure is in.

The difference between the blog post and your example is that in your example there's nothing that makes you recheck your assumptions. A puzzle in the style of the author's would be:

Knights always tell the truth, Knaves always lie.

John and Bill are standing at a fork in the road. John is standing in front of the left road, and Bill is standing in front of the right road. John says: "One of us is a knight and the other a knave". You also know that one road leads to Death, and the other leads to Freedom. Bill says: "My road leads to freedom".
