interesting to read all these from the engineer's perspective. from the manager's side of the table things are quite different. If an employee comes to me and asks for a raise then I begin the process to replace them. We give reas

there are all kinds of intangibles not mentioned here. what if you have an idea that transforms the company's sales numbers or you dream up a better way of doing the builds that reduces integration bugs. So many ways an employee contri

a 25% raise is unlikely next year, sounds to me that this was more of a salary adjustment than a raise which are typically between 3-9%. At your salary level it's not uncommon to have adjustments to bring you in line with others in you

I'm not sure pointer concepts are very difficult, pointers might confuse people that didn't grow up with assembly language, but they really aren't very hard to understand and they are also less and less relevant. Over the yea

it's hardly java's fault he's looking at a stack frame and not seeing the variables that belong to a different stack. This is simply a matter of selecting a frame prior to the forEach.

you'll also notice some editorializing the topics (venture -> venture capital) the lda features are already grouped, that's exactly what an LDA does, however, translating a group of words into a "summary" (whatever th

Isn't this the city's job? I actually think it's kind of creepy that Corporations are taking the role of the City. The general idea is the City collects taxes and uses those to provide services like buses.

This seems to be written very much from the perspective of a VC backer and not the company itself. There are lots of reasons to sell a company, many are ignored by this blog article which does little more than make the M&A guys look lik

actually this is not true, what you're not noticing is that the parallel() use is akin to Spark, basically these streams are just map functions and if you can put the closure onto multiple cores/machines you get much better perfor

it simply means the opposite of local and really I think that's what the parent comment meant. The issues in EPA are local and not systemic.

It's more complicated than that, an LDA clusters documents into topics but it's non-trivial to determine what the topic is. You can use the head words of a tf.idf analysis but those still don't necessarily equate to topics. F

agreed, this is basically a tag cloud with the addition of movement that serves little purpose. visualizing textual summaries is not a solved problem, the word cloud was the web 2.0 attempt but I don't believe anyone has really solved

This is a rather pointless debate but I have to agree that OSX is getting too "consumer" for this audience. I have a Thinkpad and it runs Linux great. A lot of the problems people here refer to are really where they should be on a

that's the most insanely stupid thing I've seen posted on hn in a long while. You've totally missed the whole point of experience - part of it in this day and age is to be able to relive it and share it with a wider audience
