I'm tempted to start taking odds on the redacted:non-redacted ratio in the released document.
Hm, I guess I didn't think about it that way since we wouldn't actually ever give out "real" work, we give out the same problem (which is an extremely scaled down version of a real application) to most everybody who passes a phone screen.

I think paying them is perfectly reasonable, but I'll also note anecdotally that having done this for many candidates for years, I think very few people have ever declined.
Why on earth is the CEO of anything engaged in a long-running email discussion over two fraudulent coupon redemptions of $10 coupons? Mentally chalk it up to "cost of doing business" and move on.

Shrinkage should not be a new experience to the owner of a fast food restaurant. (Neither should pathological customers, although I could see a Groupon getting you more of those than usual.)

> The JOB of the manager is to stay abreast of the issues his team are working on and provide REGULAR updates as to progress. Even if that means "We are still working on problem X, expected resolution is Y"

This is pretty much what Amazon have provided, that OP's link complained about. Management-level updates: "we're working on it", not a line by line log of technical hypotheses.

I would hope that in a critical situation they'd realise most customers want the service restored, not to know about why it's broken in exhaustive detail.

True - In Toronto downtown, locks don't do anything. Thieves come fully outfitted in hex key sets and pedal wrenches - and they steal everything - from rims to forks to pedals to front shocks, and chains (who steals chains??? - apparently the thief had a chain tool handy to break the chain).

Anything less than encasing the whole bike + lock + secure post in a steel case (like a bike locker) won't ensure that your bike will stay in tact.
Asm/C and Java/scala are unfair comparisons, since they're totally different languages with different structures and idioms.

I just started using CoffeeScript for a project of mine and while it did clean up the messy look of the Javascript, it doesn't improve much upon Javascript feature-wise. I felt like I was still writing Javascript, it just looked a little better.
The claim that PHP frameworks are not well maintained is completely unfounded. Are you going to seriously say that Zend, Codeigniter, Symphony are not maintained?

The claim that they are more trouble than they are worth is also a common misconception. Yes, in some situations for very small projects, frameworks are probably unnecessary, but it really helps to not reinvent the wheel when it comes to security, form validation, database management, caching, and any of the other repetitive things that frameworks try to standardize.

I'd recommend taking a look at Codeigniter, I've been using it in production for 2 years and have completely enjoyed it. It is very well documented easy to use, and flexible... and since it's been opened up to the community with the codeigniter-reactor branch there is much more development taking place.

I've also started working some with FuelPHP http://fuelphp.com/ which is a new framework but also very well documented and makes great use of the features php5.3

I wouldn't recommend CakePHP though. From what I've seen it is bloated and tries to do too much auto-magically (like rails) but fails to execute as well.
Why do you even care? I never look at that part of the code. If PyCharm automatically removed/added imports without me managing them I would be a happier person.
> You basically need to either extend MarkDown, or invent a new intermediate language for these.

You mean like some sort of HyperText Markup Language?
Definitely BASIC science.
Wow. That is a great read.

“What’s the harm in keeping it flexible?” $7.5M in harm, that’s what! "flexibility" is rarely desired in programming!
Instead of ordering 5k drives of a single model, you order from 2-3 manufacturer, and split the order between 2-3 different models from each, and build each array from one drive from each distinct type of drive.

I think he was trying to appear heroic in the statement rather than seeking pity.
I agree about the Model S. I think it looks decent, but not really any better than other luxury cars. I think Audis are significantly more attractive. It's other features that make it awesome IMO. It's quiet, has tons of trunk space, a sweet touch screen interface, and is apparently the safest car money can buy.

I would say testing is a small part of building models: building models should essentially be driven by theory, not by experiments.

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, domain-specific programming languages sprung up. Languages for simulating economic systems, for a company's financials, for modeling biological systems, and many more.

Now, in the twenty-teens, functional programming is gaining new traction as developers learn that, at their core, they start with defining a domain-specific language.

The tools for creating domain-specific models are orders-of-magnitude too abstruse, complex, arcane, and difficult. If Eve can make creating and playing with models even one-order-of-magnitude more accessible, it will help shift much of programming up a layer of abstraction.
'Hysterical' + 'nutcases' = ad hominem. Personal attack intended to discredit the argument. I wasn't referring to the 'Austrian' part. If someone thinks Austrian economics is wrong or a flawed framework for understanding some phenomena or topic, just explain why.

Also, I'm not sure that their Austrian favoritism has any bearing on this particular claim. Arguing that the BLS is intentionally fudging and later revising data to mitigate its effect on the markets seems economic-creed-agnostic.

Windows is seen as critical to Microsoft's future and, apparently, Windows division has a lot of political power with the accounting folks. Any news that could put Windows sales in doubt could be seem as the always announced beginning of Microsoft's inevitable downfall.

I have no love for Microsoft, but I too get tired of people saying that Microsoft is dying. Of course it is. We too will die, hopefully a good many decades from now.

Besides that, what good would it do for Microsoft to downplay the entertainment division's revenue? It wouldn't make sense to title the article that way when Microsoft is most probably trying to make its numbers look a little better.
Why do you assume that he's the one who is wrong? Is that the conclusion you arrived at with your vast and infallible brain?

By the way, Adams would have said, "continuously making" and not "constantly making." Your grammar error doesn't prove that you're the one who is "usually wrong," but it's the only data point I have. Just sayin'.
This may just be a thin client for the multiplayer version of Minecraft, meaning it would talk to a Minecraft server but not actually simulate the world itself.

When you say "every programming language" I assume you mean "JavaScript"?

I would not be surprised if embedding a javascript interpreter and running a validation script was probably already easier in most languages than embedding an XML parser & validator.

JavaScript has become the lingua franca of programming. I hope they teach that in schools. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lingua_franca
One of the main benefits to discounting students rather than just anyone-who's-broke is that it's easy to prove that someone is really a student. It's not foolproof (some non-students can "prove" it, and not all students are broke), but it's the low hanging fruit.
This is something that has bugging me for some time; why is there such a lack of nightlife in Palo Alto? Does anyone know what the latest allowed time for a bar to be open?

Anyone interested in opening a hacker friendly bar that's open late and has coffee/wifi during the day?

Edit: I'm actually quite serious. I have restaurant experience and it sure as shit seems like its in need. Anyone at all interested should drop me a line!

That's fun, but esoteric languages in general and brainfuck in specific tend to lack things you'd want out of c: file system access, system calls, etc.
As soon as they crossed the outer barricades, I support the use of tear gas, pepper spray, and rubber bullets, just like the police would use on leftist protesters. Inside the building, when they are about to breach the chambers of congress -and- there are legislators inside, I support the use of deadly force. When they attack democracy, they are attacking all of us. And I don't care what their ideology is.

If the building is empty, then I think deadly force is unwarranted.

The national guard response was indeed delayed. The actual reasons for that, who was directly responsible, and any evidence for why they made that call, have not come out yet to my knowledge.
To be fair to OP all of these companies outsourced production to Asia.
> But in truth, most of their value comes from x86 which could be produced by any fab.

This is why I suggest it's a profit taking move. If they ditched all manufacturing, their profitability will certainly go up in the near term.

But then how does Intel fend off increasingly competitive ARM CPUs? So long as Intel had a hand in manufacturing, they at least have a chance of maintaining an edge through their processes.

I'm also deeply frustrated that yet another manufacturing giant is leaving the US. But that's more or less another issue.
Cool. I've been grabbing little projects like this for my son who's showing an interest in stuff like this in middle school.
It's so refreshing how this article doesn't try to impose an opinion on me. It really engages me to think about the matter and form my own.
What about the city/county where a few issues causes insurance to not want to touch the place? All of a sudden they can't hire enough police and this causes social issues.
Thanks! I found quite a lot of interesting stuff there.
So what do you suggest is causing the fairly dramatic reduction in cases when we have lockdowns and them rising again when lockdowns lifted (at they were last summer and at Xmas)?

Why does that worry you? AMD already has ARM cores in their portfolio at least for their A-series Opterons and the PSP.

good point. I've got it in the top right on the 'basket' page so it's super obvious how to proceed (it's a huge big "Checkout" button), and so wanted it to be in a consistent position so the user doesn't need to 'relearn' where the button is on the next page. But I'll take that on board - maybe it is more logical at the bottom of each page...
I do not have any real data to back up that statement. But I'm pretty sure about it.

edit: To explain a bit, just take web developers. No one would outsource creating a web page to US (or wherever it would cost 10 times the money). Various Information Systems as well. Even bigger US companies have usually development centers in some "poorer" countries.

You're right, really big fail on those (and a t of integration, f from of), but otherwise it seems like a really good job.

This is why I have to laugh when people suggest browsing with JS enabled. Do you have an idea what it would do to my system performance to open 20 tabs of this crap. Yet I still see pages that say, well, I can see that you turned off JavaScript, visitor, but you're wrong, and my site is a special snowflake (which needs 5-20 JavaScript includes from third-party domains) and please enable it before I show you a blog post with a couple of images...

The good news is that almost without fail, the content on these sites is as good as the coding, and I've proven to myself time after time that I lose nothing by just closing the tab. In fact, I gain the time I would've wasted on reading low-quality content that rarely adds anything to my life.
Assuming that they can even read this.....
sounds like you really need the authentic "word of God" much more than others... like, you can't even appreciate the honesty and pivoted to something written 700 years later based off the same source material? well at least its just one person's rehashing of it and there is no ambiguity there. I can acknowledge that are plenty of other reasons to find Quran scholarship fulfilling, I just can't let a good irony go to waste.
That's definitely the wrong place for excitement: it's a vanity project for someone who imagines that money can burn past necessary research.

Look at real biological research programs if you want to be excited. Even in computery tech, the recent advance in AI protein folding solvers is much more exciting than anything likely to come out of Neuralink.

Which is all fine and dandy but if you've bought a fancy new TV with bleeding edge features for use with your next-gen console, like low-latency gaming mode, HDMI 2.1 4K/120Hz, dolby atmos, etc, it can all comes apart when you realize you need a firmware update that fixes a bug with said bleeding edge features, since a lot of consumer HW these days is rushed out the factory door with their firmware partly unfinished and the expectation that a day-one patch will be available once the HW gets to consumers and the manufacturer has had more time for testing.

What then?

Even on TVs from over 10 years ago you could update the FW offline by plugging in a USB drive with the FW binary you would download from the manufacturer's website but now your only option is to keep the TV online and have it pull the updates itself, often unencrypted from some often unsecure CDN server while it sends telemetry data back to the mothership about your usage patterns.

I know I'll have to miss out on the next-gen features for a while but you can count me out from the shit-show that is smart TVs.
I certainly don't call it justice. In my view, this 'just is' about a combination of institutionalized racism ... abetted by people with the power to get away with it... some of whom are themselves morally-challenged.

Some people really believe they're 'doing the right thing' when they decide how others should live or die. Their 'morals' are based on belief systems that are unchecked by reality-tests. They'll call themselves patriots, yet the laws of their gods over-ride the laws of mammon. Most of the history we do know about is full of that. Probably just the tip of the iceberg.

That's absolutely not what I've seen in the news. No one's "canceling" run-of-the-mill conservatives for run-of-the-mill conservative views, but there've been literal swastika flags in alt-right parades.

I have and will cheerfully work alongside people with whom I have significant political disagreements. I absolutely would not share an office with, say, an actual white supremacist. That's a hostile work environment and I want nothing to do with it.

Edit: There's a wide gulf between "political activity" and the stuff I'm talking about. You're a Republican? Fine, I'll discuss this with you over lunch and we can have fun teasing each other about our various beliefs. Get arrested storming the capitol? Yeah, that's a jobstopper.
Same is true for Singapore, you buy effectively a 99 year lease that gradually returns to the government.

It's actually a pretty brilliant policy that strikes a good middle-ground between giving individuals stake in the country without losing sight of the public interest to maintain control of land ownership.

This sort of combination between state control and individual ownership is vastly preferable to the patrimonial wealth acquisition in the US, which gives private interest groups extraordinary power at expense of both individuals and society at large, and it's an effective mechanism against generational inequality and it avoids creating a society dominated by heritage.
I find it interesting watching the web coming to the desktop through projects like Electron and at the other end of the spectrum coming from native to the web with things like Flutter.

It feels like a race to see which one can overcome its shortcomings the fastest.
It seems to me excluding even convicted criminals, is discriminatory. Let's pretend we're talking about an "ordinary" crime like armed robbery, instead of one of the ones the news media like to obsess about (which would be terrorism, hate crimes, child porn, and mass shootings - and back in the day that list would've included the Mob). Once the ordinary armed robber has been convicted and served their sentence, they come out of prison and face enormous barriers and discrimination, and that's not exactly fair. It's not clear from the article what Twitch will do in those cases though; all they do is define a list of exotic "misconduct" activities, most of which are crimes (and by the way, ctrl-F "crim" yields zero results in the page). I don't see a link to the original announcement they're reporting on, and I have to admit that I don't actually care enough to go hunt it down from the horse's mouth, but that is usually better.

Anyway on to the "free market." I have yet to see one in action. There is always meddling by unfairly-advantaged players and competition is never perfect. But more to the point, a free market is not magic or a god or even intelligent, and doesn't necessarily make good decisions on behalf of humans. It knows nothing of what's good or what's right. The one thing it does well is allocate finite or scarce resources. But humanity is not a resource, and even at their core task, markets make mistakes all the time.

Building your business on someone else's property subjects you to a material risk that the owner may someday kick you out. Being a responsible business owner means you recognize that risk and mitigate it as needed for business continuity, and have contingency plans in the event that it happens.
I spent a lot of time w/ latinos in college. Argentinian spanish does have some peculiarities that make it more difficult to understand than other countries' variants - most notoriously, 'y' sounds like throaty `j` (bordering on `sh`), and some vocabulary

In my experience, latinos in school often end up congregating with other latinos and they're usually able to get past the linguistic differences fairly quickly (and the linguistic idiosyncrasies becomes a recurring topic of conversation), so I think the concern about difficulty to communicate doesn't apply as much for the native spanish speaker (since they can just switch to english to speak to a non-native-spanish speaker)
I would love to see this made available in an editor. When writing, if I could pull synonyms and definitions up instantly with a single keypress, I suspect my prose would be better. I like to think I have a good vocabulary, but this great blog post (which I found through HN) has had me thinking I could always, and should try to, do better: http://jsomers.net/blog/dictionary

I'm curious if anyone has numbers on how much a homemade sourdough loaf costs on average. My experience is that flour is quite expensive (and currently not available in UK shops).

I've also noticed a spike in electricity costs since we've started baking regularly. (Difficult to calculate exactly)

My guess is that baking your own is a bit cheaper than going to some artisanal baker, but a lot more expensive than a standard load.
