hassiktir··on CrowdStrike Update: Windows Bluescreen and Boot Loops
We are in the process of calculating this but need this 24H period to roll over so we can benchmark the numbers against a similar 24H period. Its hard to tell if the numbers we get back will even be reliable given a lot of the statistics back from today from what I can tell have been via emails or similar.
hassiktir··on CrowdStrike Update: Windows Bluescreen and Boot Loops
I dont understand how this isnt bigger news?

Local emergency services were basically nonfunctioning for better part of the day along with the heat wave and various events, seems like a number of deaths (locally at least, specific to what I know for my mid sized US city) will be indirectly attributable to this.

hassiktir··on U.S. Startups Fail to Attract Expected Crowd of Small Investors
I don't really understand this logic. If you are trying to determine which company (all else being equal) is more likely to be successful, would you not take the company that has validation already from a population that is more likely going to be using whatever it is that you are pitching? Essentially you are saying that getting funded by a big name is more indicative of success than consumers who will be using the service/product/etc.
hassiktir··on Ask HN: What podcasts are you listening to?
Is there stuff like this for more 'modern' events? These suggestions are great and I like stuff like HH but was wondering if there was anything that covered like 1920's events or cold war or something in that same period (up until maybe 80-90's or so?)
hassiktir··on Why Do We Admire Mobsters?
a constitutional monarchy is almost a direct parallel to many organized crime syndicates. is that not legitimate governance?
hassiktir··on Using generative neural nets in keras to create ‘on-the-fly’ dialogue
ahh that does make sense now, and think it could be very feasible with a much more complex and sort of blended NN since the .SRT file's do have the time for each subtitle phrase (i.e.

  7
  00:00:23,060 --> 00:00:24,619
  give a turnaround version
) but i am not sure the best way to go about doing something like this.
hassiktir··on Using generative neural nets in keras to create ‘on-the-fly’ dialogue
I'm not entirely sure what you mean, as in feed back the predictions for some length to see what the dialogue's become?
hassiktir··on Ask HN: Did you get invited to YC Fellowship interview?
It's all just a ruse to create excitement for yc and no one was in fact invited to interview.
hassiktir··on How to implement a spreadsheet
python pandas in an ipython notebook?
hassiktir··on Why is it taking longer and longer to fill open jobs?
Yep, I don't get why people act like being an "employee-friendly place to work" is a perk, I've never seen a job posting or had a recruiter contact me with "well we aren't a very good place to work, but we pay 2x above to compensate."

If anything, I think I've realized from my limited experience that companies who push how great their culture is are usually the ones with really high turnover and HR is being pressured into creating an environment (on job sites and screening) that new dev's want to work at.

hassiktir··on Our perfect submission
Usually the writeup is just supplemental to the posting's on the forum (and there is usually a 'post your solution' type deal where people walk through their process and sometimes post code) but I'm guessing it's just one of the competitions that will end up taking a month or so to gather all the interviews from the actual winners as well as BAYZ. Probably will not be too informative as they go quite into depth about the process and the linked blog post show's almost literal step by step of how to "game" kaggle leaderboards which is a huge aspect of competing (and why there is a private vs public dataset, why there are competition 'must enter by' deadlines and why people post benchmark code that will beat 25% of the current leaderboard before the competition is over and a lot of various other reasons).

Also looking at my submissions and notes from the competition (I stopped after the first week or so though) I even noted which 'groups' were most likely on the public leaderboard as it becomes easy to tell based on how your personal metric scores vs how that score results on the leaderboard since you know the evaluation metric for each competition.

hassiktir··on Looking Forward: Support for Secure Shell
wow, didn't even know of jq but look's super cool. was trying to avoid using packages you would have to 'install' since it seemed that all the functionality the post I responded to used built-in's for powershell commands.
hassiktir··on Looking Forward: Support for Secure Shell
This is really cool (and unfortunately I know nothing about powershell, I'm young and dumb) but I'm pretty sure this is replicable line for line with bash (and curl, maybe awk too idk). Am I wrong?
