So you draw the line at "no turmoil at the office". That's what important to you. That's what you value. That's what you consider respect.

One person can be offended, but its on the person to take on themself. You can go anywhere you want with this.

If I masturbate on my chair during my break, I don't harm anybody. Do you take offense ? Why ? I don't harm you. But the majority of society would feels it's weird, so you would not allow it. No more "the offended person should just keep the peace" here.

Besides, with your example, you can't hire an autistic person.

The person will cause turmoil.

Just like a person in a wheelchair will need an elevator.

So there is some sort of diversity that you decide up front not to accept by design.

> But, going back to the variables that diversity actually pertains to, such as race, gender, sexual orientation, and religion,

You are limited diversity to a class of parameters you valid. Diversity is, by definition, completely open. You don't decide to limit what's diverse. People are people, they are different. That's diversity.

> the output that you’re actually getting compensated for

People are more than robots outputting thing. They interact and create likes and dislikes. They talk about something else than work, or they don't feel they belong. The "only" work culture is an illusion, work doesn't happen in a vacuum.

But I can see you are starting to use words such as "asshole", which indicate to me this conversation stopped being about sharing idea.

I assure you I read all your arguments and took them in consideration carefully, and wish you a good day.
The purpose of advertising is to influence behavior. But in Google’s search environment, it’s worth considering: Are your ads influencing behavior, or mainly serving as the default front door to your business?
I did not mean to question the rigor of more traditional apologetics; merely to note that there are certain approaches and points of view that they tend not to use, which is entirely understandable. Apologies if it seemed that I did (question their rigor).

Beyond that, though, I had in mind more the amateur Facebook/Tumblr apologist than the more professional, philosophically-educated sort.
> But the 23,000+ hours I've invested into becoming skilled at my work also play a huge part

It's not like the poor people don't work; it's just that their skills aren't additive in the same way as a programmer's are. Serving in McDonalds for 23,000 hours doesn't make you a better server. For them, it's just a job, not a career.

I can't imagine what hell my life would be if I didn't have a feeling I was building towards a better future (also, my present is pretty sweet already).
The airlines are generally accommodating.
If someone is a genuine threat, you can bet your ass he won't be carrying "suspicious" flashcards in airports.

It's a myth that all dangerous criminals would never make a simple mistake.

> Convinced that the family, as the fundamental group of society and the natural environment for the growth and well-being of all its members and particularly children, should be afforded the necessary protection and assistance so that it can fully assume its responsibilities within the community,

> Recognizing that the child, for the full and harmonious development of his or her personality, should grow up in a family environment, in an atmosphere of happiness, love and understanding,

And Article 5

> States Parties shall respect the responsibilities, rights and duties of parents or, where applicable, the members of the extended family or community as provided for by local custom, legal guardians or other persons legally responsible for the child, to provide, in a manner consistent with the evolving capacities of the child, appropriate direction and guidance in the exercise by the child of the rights recognized in the present Convention.

There are reasons why states can intervene in family life. But those interventions need to be in the child's best interest; and they need to be proportionate.

Article 12

Also probably a bit of article 16.

You can then access the data via API or edit and retry from the web interface.
Given their maker/taker fee setup, they clearly are trying to attract liquidity providers, who definitely want to be able trade algorithmically.

But, other technical choices make it clear that they are not targeting existing HFT firms. For instance, cloud based virtualized servers are unacceptable for HFT firms. Not being located at one of the "major" exchange data centers is a problem for most firms as well. Finally, building an http/json based proprietary api instead of a standards based one or a proprietary binary format is a clear signal that they are not targeting existing HFT firms.
Likewise. I'm working on getting much stronger.

Rackspace (and really all the "popular" US hosters) seem ridiculously expensive compared to hosting prices we have in Germany (see e.g. http://www.hetzner.de/en/hosting/produktmatrix/rootserver-pr... this is one of the biggest root server hosters in Germany).

Is this really so or are Racksoace and co. Just "boutique" offerings?
I don't think he is saying that. He is saying that in a non-dedicated environment, you share the same spindles with other tenants who may have different I/O access patterns than your application. Careful choice of indexes, good data locality for fast reads, making sure writes are sequential - all that goes out the window if some other application is causing the disk to seek all over the place.
I hope people aren't reading this and thinking about doing this crazy diet especially with all this misinformation.

Hunger is not just your "brain craving sugar". I get hungry every single day and I eat virtually no sugar.

Yes, insulin response has been known to cause some cravings, but that isn't the only factor in hunger.

Fat and protein also satiate you more than carbohydrates which means you shouldn't experience as much hunger.

I think it's incredible that you guys can run a site at all with the few people you've got. Hope it all gets better again soon.
Sure, I think this would be a really interesting study to do! I have been meaning to scrape a big chunk of GitHub in order to do this kind of analysis. I think I would be surprised (just based on my own use of Codex and Copilot) if they were copying at the level of "same code but renamed variables" either. Past that I think comparisons get pretty difficult, and to some degree I would actually be more impressed if it understood enough about programs to be able to mimic higher-level structure without just memorizing text.

Why do you think Python isn't good for comparing program structure? Certainly you could compare ASTs and bytecode pretty easy; I think it's actually much easier to do so than in C/C++ since you don't have to deal with preprocessor junk and compile flags influencing the meaning of the code. There's less available for classical analyses like data and control flow analysis, in part because those are much harder in dynamic languages, but there are some tools out there like the ones used in PyPy for getting SSA CFGs [1].

I feel like many people are equivocating a bit on what they mean by "regurgitating" here. It seems clear that the models have at best a shaky grasp on code semantics (e.g., they are bad at things like predicting what the output of some code will be: https://arxiv.org/abs/2112.00114), and struggle with problems that are very different from anything they've seen before.

What you're probably experiencing is Phosphene [1] or, more specifically, closed eye hallucinations / visualizations (CEV) [2]. Level 1-2 is very common. Level 3 is normal. Level 4 isn't rare but not likely for most people.

I get level 1-3 most nights. Typically a kind of lava lamp fractal experience. On occasion I get a level 4. Level 4 for me is usually like a high speed slide show of random visual memory frames from throughout the day. Almost like a snapshot low frame rate summary but played back quickly.

I hope you find these links useful and enlightening.

Cool. That’s still not functionality available out of the box (if I recall correctly that’s true for sideloading even on Android). You could try to tease that out but it’ll be low single digit percentage of Android users.

In other words, nitpicking pedantry, but nothing that should meaningfully shift the overall numbers. Same reason that you wouldn’t expect to include SmartTVs on this even though they’re all running Android.
This very much so, Tesla looks like it’s somehow immune to regulators. I do think mostly it’s that regulators move slow, kind of a like a fish net but eventually if you do bad things they will strangle you with red tape it just takes years.
Thought this was about you not negotiating against yourself every time an employer asks your current salary.
Nice. It is on audible as an audio book too. Sounds like a good book to listen to a chapter on a nice long walk and think about.
Right after that statement the article describes how people did indeed see through this and quotes three such people.
Essentially, that's where I'm at, as a practical matter. But it feels wrong to be typecast that way, since I regard my C/C++ capabilities as being quite sharp as well. And it seems like knowing when to write 100 lines of Python instead of 1000 lines of C++ ought to be valued, rather than seen as more of a technical faux pas. (Hey, I can dream, can't I? :-)
Wikipedia has always had problems with vandalism, though it has always mostly been adept to fighting it. There's been infamous high-profile cases such as John Seigenthaler being implied in JFK and RFK's assassinations, Bertrand Meyer (of Eiffel fame) having his death faked, Willy on Wheels using automated scripts to conduct mass article redirections and other shenanigans, a made up Polish historical figure receiving mainstream coverage, and other examples.

I don't see why some instances of vandalism that are puerile but directed towards certain women imply a downfall of Wikipedia just like that, especially when the author is so disjointed and unable to provide concrete data. This analysis seems awfully selective.
This is a really bad analysis. I'd be willing to guess the author doesn't know much about statistics. (Or more charitably, he's just trying too hard to write for people who don't understand statistics.)

That said, it does look like the sample was large enough for the results to be valid, at least for "17".
Congratulations, SeoMoz, you're king of the shitpile!
In the first scenario, the reverse-split to reduce your equity value makes no sense. Founders go for this? Why wouldn't you just say, "issue new shares". That way the VCs have skin in the game too.

And make sure that as a founder, you are accelerated to fully vested in case of termination, wrongful or otherwise.
You guys are totally talking past each other.

Varnish makes the assumption that the OS cache replacement policy is awesome. You should let it do its thing and write your data structures accordingly. Considering that the author is intimately familiar with that policy, it's a valid approach.

You could alternately say that you don't want to depend on the OS policy, which you don't control. You could say that using a differently-packed heap layout is more important than retaining 8MB more page content in the cache. (Maybe you have a nice fully-debugged heap library handy and you don't want to throw it away to get that 8MB back.) In that case, wiring that 8MB into physical memory is a valid approach.

Databases (and, indeed, OS kernels) override generic cache replacement policies like this all the time.

What is not a valid approach ("doing it wrong") is not thinking through issues like this at all, ignoring the dominating runtime cost of the memory hierarchy.
Name of recipient, state/province/etc., postal code and country, maybe. But for the rest, that bit (at least in the UK) that goes in the middle... what policing can you do? That part is just a text blob. You can't do much meaningful with it except for showing it to somebody (e.g., on a label affixed to the package you're sending) and have them figure it out.
Leaving aside very wrong impression of what Emacs is or how it works, this comment assumes that the model being adopted by the browsers now is somehow wrong. It isn't. It was implemented in the past with great results: Smalltalk, Self, Common Lisp environments did deliver on their promises of increased productivity. They all died because of things like $1000+ price for a single license or things like that, not because of their technical (lack of) merit.

The truth is: having to deal with all the idiosyncrasies of various OSes and subsystems of those OSes is a huge pain. Some parts of OS are being written just now, while others are 30 years old - how can any sane person expect those to seamlessly work together on a first try?

The browsers, just like the environments before them, free programmers from having to deal with all that. Which is in itself a nice thing, but then - just like the similar environments in the past - the browser go on to make programming into what it should be: an interactive, dynamic process with a very tight feedback loop, with interactive debuggers, profilers and other tools. It's not on a level of a Smalltalk system (but see Amber Smalltalk) just yet, but it looks like there is a chance of programming finally breaking free from a 30 years of dark ages and actually progress a bit.

Of course, there are people who are opposed to change, they always are. We'd be still flipping switches on a front-panels of our machines had we listened to them.
it's a 'don't hate the player, hate the game' scenario. Sure, I've been on the receiving end of school corridor 'where's your tie?' antics but as a source for finding out how x can do y, it's the best we've got. Remember experts exchange?
Hard problems don't become more tractable just because you get angry at them.
> I do wonder if it leads to a modern day society where educated people are able to rationalize the indefensible, as long as it's good for whatever organization/bureaucracy they've aligned themselves with

We have good reason to believe this has been the case since at least 500ish BCE and one may well suppose the phenomenon pre-dates that, so it seems to be more a society thing than a modern day society thing. It's probably hard to educate people to defend or promote ideas well without also enabling them to defend or promote bad ideas better than most people can do for good ones.
I once failed an assignment in university for submitting in ODF instead of DOC.
You're the PM; the army's been sent in, at your command; now you have to justify your decision. Thus it presupposes it was the "right thing" in the PM's context.
For people into this kind of stuff check out “Taste: What You’re Missing” from food scientist Barb Stucky.

It’s a pop science collection of stores about measuring tastes and food pleasure. I remember reading a chapter on texture and how one of the founders of Ben and Jerry’s ice cram, Ben Chohen, doesn’t have a sense of taste. When you can’t taste anything food, ice cream in particular, becomes very boring after the first couple bites. So the sense of pleasure comes from different textures rather than different flavors. That’s why B&J’s ice cream has so many chunky ingredients.

Atleast he's not both buying high _and_ selling low.
that text doesn't appear on that page. and that's a very generalised statement covering a long period of time and wide area.

My understanding was that adults were rarely castrated, rather boys from certain regions were targeted (I believe boys from modern Sudan were preferred by the Ottomans)
HyperV is lightweight and from what I understood, windows runs on top of hyperV too when you enable WSL2. You may lose a few % of performance in video games.
>> Finland never participated in the colonial era except as a dirt poor third world economy to be exploited.

A lot of this, I think, is the result of geography rather than the Finns (or rather, their leaders) being different / special.

Romania never participated in the colonial era as well but it's not they wouldn't have liked to. Only neighboring Habsburgs, Russia and the Ottomans there was little direction to go. By the sea, they'd have to cross Bosphorus and Gibraltar straits to reach the open ocean so forget it either.

But once the opportunity present, there was no hesitation to jump and snatch. Took Dobrudja from Bulgaria after they got beaten shitless in the Balkan Wars by a coalition of Turkey, Greece and Serbia. Invaded Hungary opportunistically in WW1 after posing neutral for a couple years and managed to shoot a few poor unsuspecting border guards before being pushed back and nearly wiped out by German troops (lead by a young Erwin Rommel), after which sign an armistice with the Central Powers and invade Moldova to "secure" some space. Then 12 hours before the end of WW1 declare war to Central Powers again and be technically on the winning side. Invade Hungary again and "secure" Transylvania.

>> There is xenophobia and racism as elsewhere, but there is no historical past we should be particularly ashamed off.

The past is mostly presented as "special military operation" :P
Aviation too would benefit enormously from this.

You have a different definition than a therapist would give - mindfulness is often defined as being present in the moment. The meditative practice of being aware of thoughts and feelings is a tool to stay mindful - to catch how you are thinking, and direct it back to the moment if/when you drift. But getting caught in the moment and fully engaged in a conversation or programming is being mindful. Mindfulness is about engaging, not holding oneself at a distance and watching.

Please add as comment to an existing discussion thread at https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=whoishiring If the thread is too old (I think 14 days is the cut off), then you'll need to wait for the next month's thread.
Would your rather that they have you come on-site and perform the coding challenge for half the day, then continue their normal interview process for the other half the day?

Or worse, go through a normal 5-6hr interview loop doing random questions on the whiteboard?

I think their approach is much more flexible and approachable. The overall time commitment is the same either way.
Wait you think people in jails should just not exist? Do you want to uh elaborate on that a little?

EDIT: yes I got it thank you to everyone who explained. I'm not a native english speaker and misunderstood the phrasing.
I don't deny that. It's just that so many companies have so much inefficiency else where that addressing resource inefficiency has too low a marginal return.

This all feels very Soviet. I’m reading a book Mosaic of My Life by Larisa Zalesova about the life of a young girl during Soviet times. One of the chapters in the book almost reads exactly like this account. The No Fly List is equivalent to open air imprisonment, enforced extra-judically.

And don’t think if you’re not an Arab, 100% cold blooded white American then you’re safe. How many Trump loyalists were put on no-fly lists without any due course of law, any trial, or any recourse after Jan 6?

VP CoinX here: We do have an exchange, www.coinxtrader.com (it is mentioned on our main website, coinx.com). We were the very first exchange to obtain MTLs, that is the route we took when we established our company.

With respect to the second point, "real-product" We have a working exchange in addition to money-transfer services in the shape of coinhub.com (which goes live in a few weeks time).
It is interesting and surprising how many allocations per request other frameworks do, from 100s to 10000s.

They're sort of cheating by having a pool, and sort of punting with things like "// MaxParam sets the maximum allowed path parameters. Default is 5..."
Is it working for you? I agree this is innovative but I feel it is spammy with no value shared. Basically it's like getting into a bar early for spamming all my friends and telling three of them to get in the regular line.
It was Altoona, PA and in 1990 the population was somewhere in the 50,000 range. I'm not saying there were no ATMs just that I remember when they put the first one in at our bank. It was a big deal that they were giving out ATM cards.

In solidarity, I reproduce the comment that I had written just before reading yours:

Every time I see a link like this out of the corner of my eye I hope it's a link for Go, the board game. And every time, I am disappointed.

I guess this is how it must feel to be a fan of pythons. Or rubies. Or Java. (No, not that Java, the other one.)

It really does make it hard to like the language. All I can ever remember about Go is that it's about clicking the Back button over and over in annoyance.
>Monads are just not that confusing

I don't think the 'what' is confusing, but the 'why and when'. Monads are a pattern; when I first learned about the Strategy Pattern, I understood it. It wasn't until a while later I started seeing the need for it and could explain why...
You missed the part where he took 6 hours to install MySql on Windows. It's literally Next -> Next -> Next -> Finish. I guess he probably meant, "Installed and working", ie, connected to it in a meaningful way, etc.
Do you imagine Go ever being able to create Android applications?
I can't speak for the 'Ruby world', but the loss of blocks is significant. Significant whitespace makes code ugly sometimes. "There should only be one way to do it." is wrong. Basically, Ruby values _flexibility_ above all else, and Python introduces unnecessary rigidity, which feels 'wrong' to a Rubyist.

And that's another difference between the two communities: Gems are always installed through Rubygems, no exceptions. Distribution's packaging systems (I'm looking at you, Debian) have always just screwed things up, and so Rubyists tend to just remove any system Ruby, install rvm from source (which entails running one bash script), and doing it all through there. Then, everything works great.
This is also a ringing endorsement to buy things from Amazon over eBay or independent sellers.
