Do you have any links to your experiments and/or those of your colleagues?

See also https://geoblaze-gsoc.vercel.app and the underlying libraries it uses, which also do range queries on GeoTIFFs. I'm super interested in this space, including in helping fi…

Well, I guess it's a good thing that I was a manager and basically never issued any operational commands over chat.

This is great! If you're interested, I'd love to have you at a GIS/mapping-focused retreat I'm hosting at https://www.gradientretreat.com/ this summer. You can reach out privately …

How hard would it be to support the Teensy boards? I didn't see any mention of them one way or another in the website.

Interesting, anyone else seeing this? It's hosted on Netlify and is just static HTML&JS.

From what I can tell, Causal's models only run forwards, with no inference (ie, they can generate predictions from priors, but they can't update those priors from observations). Is…

Yes, we are - Rainier is used in production, though so far it's a very small part of our overall ML efforts.

Huh. No, for the record, we'd never heard that acronym when we chose the name for Dabble DB.

Stripe | Seattle | Onsite Search & Query Infrastructure Engineers I'm helping build a new team for Stripe in a new Seattle engineering office. We're focused on building distributed…

That was awkwardly phrased, I guess. I live in the Gulf Islands in British Columbia.

We're open to remote or distributed teams within the US and Canada. All else being equal, we'd prefer to hire people in SF, but for a sufficiently great team, being elsewhere would…

I often cook steaks from frozen (sous-vide, or just low temp in the oven). I'm curious: is that one of the use cases you're testing or thinking about?

I take your point that there are a number of possible explanations (at varying levels of plausibility) for this effect, but to address a specific example you mention: whenever we c…

That's a fair concern. The sample sizes here are relatively high: you can probably back some estimates out yourself from the numbers given in the post (millions of dollars raised, …

There are some nice, very efficient implementations of their solution #4at http://hdrhistogram.github.io/HdrHistogram/

Thanks very much for the feedback. (Feedback helps! As you may remember from the previous thread, we did change the Remember Me + phone number fields to be optional, in large part …

Sorry, I didn't actually answer your initial question: yes, Alipay is only available through a checkout.js integration, not a stripe.js integration. I think it's unlikely that we w…

(I work at Stripe) Can you say more about "(a) stable"? If you mean that you've had problems with robustness or availability, I'd love to hear about that, because in general we bel…

(I'm Canadian and work at Stripe) How often do you actually buy things online with interac? I think I've maybe done it once, and the redirect-to-the-bank flow is pretty awkward. My…

I had the same thought, and went down the simplification rabbit-hole. Here's where I ended up: https://gist.github.com/avibryant/545e63b446a840951d5e

There was also a brief comment from pc about this a couple of weeks ago that might be worth linking to here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7400884

Yeah, for those same reasons I much prefer using Scalding's typed API [1], which feels very similar to Scoobi. The tuple API shown in these slides is great for places like Etsy tha…

(I worked on Dabble DB) I don't think it's so much that there's no market for it as that the market is very hard to reach and we had no good channel. Intuit's Quickbase is a very h…
