Interesting. IBM also acquired a startup I worked for (Vivisimo) because of the search technology. We never really focused on web crawling though. We dealt mostly with enterprise systems. Now we're a part of Watson too. Also the Alchemy API seems like it kind of touches parts of what we do which is another recent IBM acquisition.
Mobilecoin was flat for long time at around $7 and then on March 28th started a dramatic rise to $66 today.

There were rumors in late January that Signal was looking into Mobilecoin but that seems unrelated, and I'm not sure I buy a short-squeeze scenario as mentioned on Twitter.

> You assume the majority ignored that additional information.

If they didn't, why is it never even mentioned in the opinion? Why does the majority not even acknowledge the fact that there are other facts involved, which do not support their conclusion?

Of course any answer I might propose would also be an "assumption" to you, but I'll propose one anyway: because the majority knew quite well that if they did mention or acknowledge any of those other facts, it would be obvious to anyone reading the opinion that their argument was not cogent. My reading of many, many other Supreme Court opinions over the years tells me that that kind of thing happens all the time. At least dissenting opinions are available, though it seems like the ones that really point out fundamental flaws, like this one by Thomas, never actually get any traction.

> The court can totally "assume for the sake of argument"

The court can of course do whatever it pleases; there is no higher court of appeal to overrule them, and the Justices serve for life so they can simply not care what anyone else thinks of their rulings.

That doesn't make it right when they twist the law, or outright ignore it, to produce rulings that are in accordance with their ideological preconceptions. Which, again, is something that happens all the time.
So, now you've read what I quoted about Stallman defending pedophilia, right? He calls it pedophilia, he says he's skeptical it's harmful. That's a defense.

Now you have read something you had not read before. I am glad to have shown you something you didn't know.
I'm sure for $2-$5 million per year Apple would rather just hire a few additional developers and never touch new FreeBSD source again than deal with those types of arrangements. As would a large portion of the developers and users - you don't pick BSD licensed projects because you liked restrictive licenses.
They also have a code generator that can record your actions and turn them into scripts
When a company sells more shares, they money they raise from selling those shares contributes to the value of the company.

If a company sells 100,000 shares at a dollar each, the company is now worth $100,000 more because they now have another $100,000 on their balance sheet. No value is lost in this process.

> This is why a stock will tank when a company talks about diluting their existing shares by creating new shares out of thin air.

Companies can't just declare that more shares exist and dilute away shareholders like you said. They either issue them as stock based compensation, which is an expense, or they sell the shares to buyers, which means money goes toward their bottom line.
While reading that article, "blog" in the menu wasn't highlighted. I trust the app has a better UI.
Part of the problem is that "well written code" is unbelievably subjective. Take 10 people from hacker news and you will get 10 likely very different answers, some of them most likely the exact opposites.

Maybe it has to do with being "a new industry", but by now we have accumulated decades. I think it's more because you can get away with it. In other industries, you can't. If a bridge collapses, people die. If a car's brakes fail, people die. If you administer the wrong amount of anesthesia, people die. If you write spaghetti code .. shrug and move on.

Even within the code base of the place I work in, a few hundred sw engs in total, we don't have a shared understanding of what exactly "good", "clean", ... design is. Everybody has an idea, and there are overlaps, but the criteria that people seem to optimize for, and thus the conclusions they draw about design, differ vastly. Within my company, and even more so across our industry.
The last thing I think I got from SO was an implementation of the Boyer-Moore Algorithm for a byte searcher. I think retyping it would have probably introduced bugs: and as it worked on a test case I had to hand and could verify (finding the data header size in a WAV file by looking for `data` followed by the SubChunk2Size bits, which I could verify with `afinfo`) I was happy to use it rather than learn how the algorithm worked.

As Morpheus said, “Time is always against us”.. so I just made sure it followed our coding standards, checked the test cases, and moved on.

But, I am old enough to remember code listings in magazines. I like to think the typesetters introduced deliberate mistakes because they hated the work so much - not to disrespect the fine profession of typesetters, but when you set your 100th `Poke` command in a row, you might think this isn’t what you signed up for..
As the price of homes rises, wouldn't you expect the 67% to shrink? fewer individuals would have the capital to afford a down payment, and some portion of the 67% will liquidate the equity for retirement and other activities.
> you appear to consider FB/Twitter etc. to be "virtual public squares". They demonstrably are not this. At the very least, it would require legislation to make them so.

Yes, that is what I am saying. I am advocating for legislation to protect free speech on platforms like FB and Twitter in a similar (but not identical) way that the First Amendment protects free speech on a public street.
> They've plenty communicated their intention to not turn the Mac into the iPhone/iPad.

Of course not, because they need to differentiate. This doesn't mean they renounce their plans to further lock down macOS. Running non-appstore apps is getting harder and harder each year.
starlink sats are in a particularly low orbit, so they will reenter within a couple of years.
Yeah, I use portainer and then load a docker image of Jupiter and import the notebook there.

Dependency management hell isn't just a Javascript problem these days.
In Denmark's case, the rates are set to defend the krone's peg against the euro. Denmark being above average in terms of stability within the euro zone sets negative rates to shoo people from parking their money there, which would otherwise drive demand and increase the exchange rate for the krone.

In Europe as a whole, yes, it is in deep stagnation. There is no where near enough investment opportunity for the wealth within the block, and this is made doubly worse by the governments subsidising all investment, essentially eating half the investment opportunity (while simultaneously creating a beaurocratic nightmare which also needs to be paid for). All the remaining wealth just piles into any old unproductive asset which can out perform the -0.6% bank rate.

If you really want a laugh, read up on how banks are competing to acquire physical currency because cash is cheaper to store in a guarded vault than a database entry with the ECB.
It’s not for the faint of heart. The consequences of failure are equivalent to setting off a bomb. You can’t just tweak a line of code and recompile. You have to know how to manage the risk.

Advanced degrees help. Operational experience helps. I have a master’s and flight hours, for example.

If you’re serious about aerospace, you’ll make your own way. Piece of advice though: don’t tell an interviewer you’re getting into this field just because it’s the next big thing.
Without complete asset transparency, these issues will only grow worse.

Off and on I have pitched folks the idea that we need some concept of "universal asset accounting" or a "universal asset graph".

A federatable body of data about assets at various levels of detail, abstraction and age.

For example: I should be able to have the digest for a file and be able to see anywhere it has ever showed up. I should be able to zoom in and out from that pivot point: to debian repositories, to container layers, to dependency graphs in NPM, to Helm charts. I should be able to see where it lives in my own systems, and exactly how it came to be there, from the network operations in my own systems all the way back to tickets and commits. For any given asset I should be able to discover everything that was assembled, transformed, transported and inspected in its scope.
> ... country cannot find a proper job.

As an Iranian who saw many people back home facing sanctions, those sanctions are enforced based on the country of residence and not origin. So refugees are okay to hire, as are Iranians currently residing in other countries.
No, there are fixed and variable rate mortgages.
That's an interesting approach.

An alternative one is to actually look in to the substance of their respective arguments, analyze the evidence they offer, and judge them by that.
I've struggled with weight for almost my entire life. I know how much it sucks to try everything under the sun and to watch the pounds come rolling back. Sometimes, there is just more to the equation than is in your immediate control. If you're 100+ lbs overweight and feel completely helpless/hopeless, there are surgical options with very high success rates. I've had a gastric band for the past 13 months and I feel like a completely new person. If you need some to talk to, please don't hesitate to email me - my info is in my profile.
I agree too... Categorizing these based on subjective gut reaction from a single person takes away any credibility from the author.
A very transparent, friendly attitude... from the same company who does this: http://kirils.org/skype/27c3.pdf

I guess companies can have several faces, but it still strikes me as bizarre.
Video seems to work fine with Quicktime open network option. Thanks for posting!
Age 12, BASIC on the Apple II at school. I learned from some books that had cartoon robots in them. Anyone remember these?
That gets trotted out as the counter argument (even with vb .net vs c# where the 2 languages are very similar), but it's moot. Code reuse doesn't happen without clean interfaces (which reduces the problem of different languages) because few programmers will read your code even if it's in the language they want.
No, because wikipedia isn't going out and saying "you should support us because we have a page about Hacker News". They say that we should support them for everything they do.

of course, because allocating a donation to a specific page would be nearly impossible. just as allocating openbsd donations to specific commits on src/usr.bin/ssh is difficult and not worth the time.

What Theo is would be like me saying "if you use bsdiff, you should pay me to work on FreeBSD" -- bsdiff is a small part of FreeBSD, and only a very small amount of the time I spend on FreeBSD is even remotely related to bsdiff.

if a critical component of my commercial product offering was bsdiff, i would certainly donate to freebsd (or wherever you directed donations, being the author) to see its continued development.
Coming from 5 years in the Army, I can attest to what they call - "Death by Powerpoint." It's not just the bullets, but the use of templates that suck, formats that suck, and well...information that sucks.

Perhaps it's not the bullets that kill, but the animated ones :)
Take away: including permalinks for included bits of pages (such as comments) can be useful when they are crawled. Encouraging serendipity.
I'm pretty sure paying for groceries is drastically easier than stealing them, further hurting the comparison.
I never said it was. However, you're implying that other solutions missing this means that they are not valuable or effective, which is just as wrong. It's purely subjective.

I'm not talking about your relationships either...I could care less. That's my point. Facebook is what it is, but just because it's popular does not mean it's necessary.
awk -> I forget what
grep -> global/regular expression/print
sed -> stream editor
perl -> I'll give you this one
cat -> concatenate
finger -> I'll give you this one
man -> manual

A large percentage of them are mnemonics.
For reference, here is a screenshot of my Appleseed newsfeed:

Yes, that's very true.

The second statement though, was a blatant call to violence (if white redneck militia dudes...), and the author did not get banned from twitch, instead they were simply limited in their monetization options.

But "America deserved 9/11" was an ethical statement, you're right.
Small wheels are easily caught in potholes. Think eScooters wiping out.
If you go to any community board meeting, you'll hear old people rant for hours about how their cars are essential and bike are destroying the city. And for some reason, this is who politicians listen to.
JITs have been extremely successful for dynamically typed languages, but that has always been a low hanging fruit for optimization.

Once you have a static type system, the JIT doesn't bring you much over ordinary AOT compilation, and no benefit over PGO...while losing out on global optimizations that aren't feasible in a JIT.
Reading a fantastic book called Digital Minimalism on this very subject.

Back when I used social media I noticed I'd be very angry arguing with people I didn't even know. Never meet anyone with a job. Deleted all that crap, moved , and had an amazing partner( she had a JOB) within a month.

Life is right here, if your at a coffee shop and you notice someone reading a book that seems interesting ask about it. Works out much more often than chatting with bots. Even when snapchatting with a "real" person, the "typing" notification felt like a raw anxiety machine. Now I only meet people in real life, text her once if she'd like to get dinner at 8 or so and then move on with my life.

Feels really good to hop off the social media hamsterwheel. Me a few years ago:

Gotta get more followers to get more likes to get more followers to get more likes to get more followers. Then maybe my matches will see how cool and popular I am. It's very much pointless. You'll never be popular enough. Without question I've removed the vast majority of stress from my life by ditching social media. Frankly my life is amazing. But if I'm staring at what other people have all day I'll never recognize it. Everyone will post 'just engaged' photos , no one is posting 'our marriage has been really rough, but I don't want to move back in with my parents'.
There are many services that let you livestream. Twitch is just one of the most popular.
> I found this distasteful: I had devoted extra time to finding the optimal solution, at the expense of spending more time on other parts of the exam

Sounds like a good lesson for someone graduating into the workforce ;)
(Long after the fact, so probably missed the boat. Also, I'm Not An Expert on This, so grains of salt, etc.)

My understanding of Mad Cow was that the prions involved were ones which were allowed to pass the blood/brain boundary, which keeps arbitrary chemicals in food from having a big effect on our neurological state. (Drugs like MDMA imitate certain chemicals used by the brain and are thus allowed to pass by.) One of the reasons cannibalism - especially when brains are involved - is that the brain proteins look like your brain proteins, and are thus expected to be on the 'brain' side of the boundary. So when cows eat dead cow brains, they get serious neurological diseases, just like human cannibals are known to. Prions may be arbitrary bad proteins, but they're especially problematic in the case of eating brains.
This is one cause of the current global urbanization trend. Consider relocating to a major city.
That is a valid point that I didn't think about.

I forget that not everyone uses something like 1password generate random passwords for all sites. Therefore, compromising one doesn't compromise them all. I recognize that is not common behavior.
Yet, in CS courses it doesn't. An A+ means you passed all of the automated tests.
This is a good tutorial: http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/4451
Today, tomorrow, or yesterday?

SF is already sold out, so it doesn't apply at all; there is nowhere to build and all the property is spoken for. It might have applied 110 years ago after the great fire, or even in the early 90s after the S&L crisis, but not today.
You can take delivery yourself, or you can contract it out to another company like Redapt or one of the other systems integrators. Authorize them to act on your behalf with the data center and tell them what you want to be done.

I've used companies like that for small scale (<=500 node) deployments and their cabling is top-notch from what I saw. It made me sad when I had to bust up their awesome cable bundling to move some servers around in the stacks.

It's way overkill if you're doing a single server, or anything under a cabinet, really.
Historically there haven't always been jobs, so why should there be in the future?

A job means you have something to offer that somebody is willing to pay you for. If nobody needs anything from you (or nobody has money), what job can you get?
Acorn has been my go-to image editing app for a long time. Over a decade. It does layers, channel operations, composable filters. Really easy interface. Completely worth the low cost.
Think of the demographic here. They are not techies.
I'm going to send a link to this article to the MPAA, RIAA and my ISP the next time the claim I was downloading/sharing something illegally.
Only sort of. The abolishment of Daylight Savings would help a great deal in this area, though (because it makes writing time-based code so much harder).
Yeah, is there any technical information on how this would be done yet? Seems like I could just use DNS servers from another country if worse came to worst.

I really like this sort of question since it allows a candidate to work their own way while showing their process and lets the company see if the applicant can handle the sort of thing that will be a good part of their job, at least for the first year or so. The popularity of white boards and writing binary tree traversal pseudo code is frustrating to me. I haven't done an interview where that's a part of it because the thought of it freaks my brain out a bit. Which seems odd since I regularly perform improv comedy and am considering teaching it in the near future.

The Roman emperor at the time would have been Tiberius, who was a rather cruel man, even among emperors. Throwing people off of a cliff was a particular punishment he seemed to enjoy, even for petty things.

It is quite likely that Pilate feared for his life much more than looking like a fool. Under Tiberius those two might have been one in the same.
This is reason why we must diversify these techs. If same company builds everything like mobile, os, search engine, Youtube, it would have debacle in future. If there is diversification, it simply takes toil and sweat to convince everyone.
The accommodation is allowing people to use tools which allow them to be effective. The ableism is finding people “mentally limited” because they may need affordances (often but not always) physical to contribute.

Hiring is supposed to be qualifying. Qualified people using completely irrelevant-to-the-task assistive tooling is none of your fucking business. Unless the job you’re hiring for requires coding in Notepad, your expectation that interviewers do is discriminating probably illegally but definitely immorally. And probably also limiting your hiring pool in ways you don’t want.

Not a problem for me in this particular aspect, I’m never going to seek employment from you. But disadvantaging people who need accessibility tools is shitty.
The end game was AI driverless cars. It would solve the economic problem assuming they could get to level 4 in time.

> Via its incr and decr commands, memcached provides a built-in way to atomically add k to a number. But it doesn’t provide other arithmetic operations; in particular, there is no “atomic multiply by” operation.
Your programming challenge: Add a mult command to memcached.

Protip for people in junior roles: if you're interviewing for a more senior position, the correct answer would *not* be to jump in straight and waste 3 hours implementing something that then you have to maintain forever.

The best answer, from an *engineering*[1] perspective, would instead be noticing (or knowing) that memcached supports a CAS command (https://github.com/memcached/memcached/wiki/Commands#cas) that would allow to implement equivalent functionality without changes in memcached, and try to confirm why that would not be a viable solution. If, and only if, CAS is confirmed not to be a viable solution (e.g. excessive contention, unacceptable pX latency, ...) then you should spend the 3 hours (+ all the maintenance effort required until the end of life for that solution).

The risk, in case you jump acritically on the solution, is to show you did not spend any time trying to actually understand the problem and you did not consider the pros and cons of viable alternatives (and this is a problem both during an interview, as well and especially when you're doing actual work), something that is normally frowned upon in senior roles.

Obviously, being an interview, it's all play pretend so you'll eventually have to complete the coding exercise, but if I was interviewing you for a senior position and you skipped the part above it would be a pretty big red flag (same in the unlikely case I were to ask to implement some functionality that is commonly found in the standard library of most programming languages: huge red flag if you don't ask why the functionality provided by the standard library is not a viable solution).

"This", as they say. Bright 14 year olds manage to read too many books.

They need to get out, make friends, make things - especially learn to finish things.

They need the tortoise and hare fable pounded in by practice.
