Yes .. but. I had a great education/CV early in my career, and had the opportunity to interview at some of the top most companies prior to their IPO (some when they were tiny companies). Google, Facebook, Stripe and maybe 3 more that w

The last sentence struck a cord with me. Emergency-mode doesn't just have to do with money. Asking for constant status updates on projects has the same effect. I don't understand why some companies force this on employees/tea

FYI .. I work in deep learning and lucidrains is becoming a legend in my line of work. Seems someone who is obsessed about transformers (the deep learning ones, and rightly so, they are amazing). To the author (if you are reading this on HN

Thx to you and others for the suggestions (I upvoted everyone and appreciate it). Good point that CUDA is its own world and won't really give me that pure software feel. Part of it might be me getting old and missing the days of my you

I play with microcontrollers for fun, and enjoyed mucking with Freertos a few years back. But that was all C code. It did scratch the event driven programming itch. There were a couple of good Udemy courses on ARM and Freertos (also freely

No .. Linus can approve it on himself. Linus cannot approve such a thing on behalf of other maintainers.

This is a good question. You would recruit actual maintainers, [edit: or whoever is your intended subject pool] (who would provide consent, perhaps be compensated for their time). You could then give them a series of patches to approve (som

FYI .. many ACM conferences are now asking explicitly if an IRB was required, and if so, was it received. This does not prevent researchers from saying IRB doesn't apply, but perhaps it can be caught during peer review. Btw .. I posted

These two sentences seem contradictory from the author's response is contradictory: " The IRB of UMN reviewed the study and determined that this is not human research (a formal IRB exempt letter was obtained). Throughout the study

Holy cow!! I'm a researcher and don't understand how they thought it would be okay to not do an IRB, and how an IRB would not catch this. The linked PDF by the parent post is quite illustrative. The first few paras seem to be down

You may want to take a look at the Coinbase founding thread from 2012. You should consider putting in more details about yourself. Are you deeply technical or more focused on the business side? I understand why you would use an anonymous ac

There used to be this awesome resource called codepath. They took a developer from tutorials to actual intermediate/senior tier. It was a bay area hands-on thing but I would frequently watch their recorded videos or their online docume

There are two issues that come to mind .. do we have enough materials to make more and more LiON batteries (grid level storage) and are these things recyclable/not going to mess up the Earth?

by throwawaybbq1 7y ago
I was at an event today where Al Gore spoke positively about LiON battery as energy storage. I was a bit surprised .. is this sustainable tech?

Hindsight is 20/20. I recall looking at k8s and swarm closely circa 2014-2015. K8s wasn't very good. The networking worked best in the Google cloud .. not your usual datacenter. I recall concluding Swarm was the better tech. If hi

BS ... Manhattan is dense and not a ghetto. Stop scare mongering. A lot of people are sick of paying 3-5K for single-two bedrooms in Mountain View. Just because you have had yours doesn't mean the rest of us don't deserve the oppo

This was a good lesson for me not to get tech books well before I get a chance to read it. I got the 1.0 book thinking I'd read it when I get a break. Still haven't had a chance to do it and it is already somewhat obsolete. Live a

Thanks for the nice writeup. You mentioned Javascript in the article. Is webrtc tied to browsers and JS? Or can it be used by other clients too .. like mobile apps or wearables?

Cool project! The part that I was fascinated by was not the electronics but the physical design and manufacture. It is very impressive! Would love it if you go into details .. what 3D printer, post-processing, software tools used, etc.

Space pirate trainer ... I love it!! It is so simple but so perfect with touch controllers. I used to be a gamer back in my youth but little time these days. This game is instant action as soon as you start. Darknet on gear vr. Same deal ..

IANAL. However, as an industrial researcher in CS, the standard is this. Once you patent your work, the company is okay with you publishing. There are exceptions. There is a story (no idea if true of not) that the folks who published the dy

Heh .. I don't want this to turn into an AMA. But yes .. I too have questions. How long have you been away from academia and how do you feel about it? I had success in grad school (papers in top CS conferences). I went the industrial r

Don't run into stuff??? You realize it is called an "accident" for a reason. The backup camera and blind spot detection are worth real dollars in my experience.

I had a huge hurdle using Uber - after trying it once with someone else, I am now am a power user. I just cannot make the jump to AirBnB. I have friends who use it a lot. I found the rates paid by myself and friends are very similar .. when
