Maybe there are legal implications or company policies, but seriously, how would your employer ever even find out you were using that laptop? Just don't go around advertising it if you do use it, backup your data and wipe it before you

Yep, really the disease is taking ANY such rule or heuristic and interpreting it to be valid in all situations or in an extreme form. The last paragraph is the simplest and most effective solution - start asking specific (well defined) qu

Yeah i have seen Mesos used for managing big data frameworks like Spark. Any large distributed computing framework has to deal with some of the same problems - managing resources on worker nodes, sending tasks, getting results, scheduling e

This is a cool idea - the holy grail scenario I'm envisioning is storing all data in the log i.e 1. the transaction log is a central repository for all data 2. much more detailed data is stored, enough that analytics and can run off t

I can understand how this can relieve nerves in an interview, but the answer doesn't tell you much IMO. The questions are the only opportunity to assess the company or the position directly from an engineers standpoint. Yes, the power

Have there been any changes to the in-memory columnar caching used by SchemaRDDs in 1.2? I noticed some problems with that, for example if a SchemaRDD with cols [1,2,3] on parquet files [X,Y,Z] is cached, and then I create a new one with a

Typical freemium model. They reel you in with F2P and as soon as you're hooked onto food and oxygen and all that you find out it takes in app purchases to have any fun.

Adopt a beginner mindset - you are a beginner. Sounds like there a few things you know you are good at, and the rest is "out of your depth". Build a new depth. Jump into something you have never done before. Sounds like you have s

Holy shit does anyone else see a huge problem with filming a fucking reality show in an E.R? Distracting and intruding upon medical professionals doing their jobs when lives are at stake to make a TV show? Thats absurd!

I use evernote to journal - the mac and iOS apps are good and I know it has tons of extra functionality if I ever need it. It also supports encrypting text in a note, although there is no way to encrypt/decrypt entire notebooks which m

I've been using Kifi[0]. It lets you collect any webpage thats interesting, tag it with multiple tags, and search your whole collection based on tags/content of the page. I highly recommend it. For example, I want to learn more an

Essentially you want to make context switching into a task as easy as possible. Some ways to do that are: . Maintain a list of tasks you can work on, and make it good enough that you can blindly pick one up and start working after a switch.

I don't know about the justice system, but blaming 'Serial' is bullshit. Damn it every piece of art doesn't have to be about shedding light on some societal problem. How does someone even decide what the purpose of a pod

While we are on the topic, anyone care to illuminate me on the practicalities of H1Bs as a worker? 1. What do you do if your petition for H1B is rejected. I have 2 shots to apply with my time in OPT, but what if both fail? Is the only optio

It is one of the many concessions to the god of political correctness - there are already a large number of south asians here, so they are not discriminated against anymore. Blacks and latinos are still discriminated against, so now they ar

I'm a recent immigrant to USA, and while I don't presume to know everything about American culture, your comment and this article really resonate with my observations in the time I've spent here. There is a consistent message
