Right, but this is still impressive given how quickly Databricks created and open-sourced the dataset. I would expect more improvements in the future.

The article doesn’t emphasize the impact made by new technologies invented in pursuit of this prize. For example, this contest was a motivating factor for the creators of Apache Spark.

If anything, I think tech is protected from the effects of the coming recession. Our industry is one of the best poised to maintain business as usual. That said, the impact of the economic effects is coming.

Does anyone have statistics on the impact of robocallers? They're ubiquitous and universally obnoxious. I haven't seen any reporting on their effectiveness for the services they're advertising for. I wonder why do they even b

For the uninitiated / confused, this refers to yarnpkg, the JavaScript dependency manager, not (Hadoop) YARN, the cluster manager.

Exactly. This isn’t a benchmark at all.

Legal question: Most employment agreements require employees sign an arbitration clause. Even though these have mixed enforceability, they are very intimidating (which I believe is their intended purpose). If you had a high-profile case lik

Agreed. Personally I think asking for general blog recommendations is not helpful. I just google topics I'm interested and start to create that list myself. Also - I think the idea of creating blog followers is becoming less popular. I

I mean, it's CIO mag, so it's written for the audience. This is the first announcement I've seen for this topic, so maybe they'll follow-up with some engineering blog posts in the next few weeks.

This isn't unique. From Snap, which had a net operating loss in 2016 of $515 million, compared with a net loss of $373 million a year earlier: "We have incurred operating losses in the past, expect to incur operating losses in the

I agree with general sentiment expressed by others; a reasonable next opportunity shouldn't judge you because you worked for an unpopular company. In fact, we're thinking the opposite: let's use this as an opportunity to hire

The other way to respond: thanks, I'm interested. Alternatively: no thanks, I'm not interested. Recruiters aren't monkeys or slaves. This post is arrogant and rude.

Sorry, I was criticizing the referenced article not your title on HN.

He's not alone. The article talks about the importance of his collaborator Slee. Weird, click-baitey article title.

I think it's interesting that despite deep and widely-publicized privacy concerns, Facebook's users have mostly been loyal to the platform. Myself included. Data collections seems necessary to monetize the platform. Are there any

True, but I think the issue is that quality engineers of color are few. When I say supply side, I mean, there are far fewer graduates of color in STEM from top universities, etc.

No, it's still fair to currently represented classes (whites and asians). In practice this means exploring different networks, using different sourcing techniques, creating mentoring environments, etc.

I have always viewed tech diversity as a supply-side problem. Demand is definitely there.

I kinda see Jira and Trello as separate target markets. Jira = Enterprise (for me) and Trello = Small-to-mid-sized companies and personal use. My company uses Jira (correctly) and it is great - for software. I keep all of my personal lists
