You're seeing the Last Resort fallback font, which shows a symbol representative of the codepoint range, and the range's name, so you can identify what type of font you need. Since the suits are in the smiley block, you see a smiley. If you had no Latin alphabet font, you'd see an A.

GoTTY – Share your terminal as a web application
Docker: Containerize your startup
I sympathize. My experience was much better than yours - nobody showed up 15 minutes late, and everyone was exceptionally polite. Given how stressful in person, whiteboard exams can be, I'd actually compliment google on how well their interviewers treated me as a candidate. But in the end, I was (as I stated below), surprised with just how much optimized, relatively clean and ready-to-run code I was expected to write at a whiteboard. Writing plenty of code that shows you are capable of doing so, along with outlining a strategy that shows you clearly understand the problem and are working toward a solution? As far as I can tell, that's a no-hire.

One disagreement, I don't think this is purely about remembering algorithms from college. That's a necessary but not sufficient condition. If you can't do the basic binary tree traversal (and so forth) stuff cold, I'd say there's no way you'll pass the exams, because you need to solve more complicated problems that are based on core data structures and algorithms.

Honestly, I have to say I'm pretty damn impressed with people who can do this at the whiteboard. I might be able to get there, with a few months of study, though this would probably require neglecting other aspects of my life and job for a while. The cynical part of me has this vague suspicion that this screening is actually designed to hire only those without these sorts of demands on their life (kids, family, outside interests).
Solitary doesn't just mean single occupancy cells, it means separation from most human contact.

They could easily have groups of cells where inmates are confined individually but can still have non-physical contact with other prisoners.

And as most of those in solitary aren't raving psychotics (mostly they attacked guards or rival gang members, an issue largely due to prison overcrowding) they could be allowed monitored time in the yard with other prisoners.
Is hostname,pid,date really enough to avoid collisions?

If avoiding them is really important, I don't think you have any choice other than to go the whole hog and basically implement half of Maildir.
Considering the inmates in solitary are the ones suing because it is cruel I think that answer is quite apparent. Yes, people would rather be with people even if those people aren't perfect.
I feel validated!
Aus Machine Learning geek and Dev touring the Valley keen to meetup with startups
If you're referring to |0 then I would disagree. It shows how horrible JavaScript is. This is very confusing if you're not familiar with this trick or strange behavior of the language.

suit = int(i / 13)
suit = (int)(i / 13)
suit = math.floor(i / 13)

Are much easier to understand for someone not familiar with the code.
At the end of the month I am going to be in silicon valley touring facebook, google, twitter & 500 startups and a few other places - I am very Keen to meetup for beer and just generally network with anyone building cool stuff while I am in the valley.

'Expressive' means that it's easy to write code that's easy to understand.

JS doesn't even come close to the expressiveness that you get in C# due to the fact that in JS, you don't even know the type of arguments being passed in any given function without looking elsewhere in the code - therefore, it's not easy to understand.

If you're going to go with the definition that says expressiveness means "the variety and quantity of ideas that can be expressed", Javascript also loses there since there are whole classes of behavior that cannot be practically expressed in Javascript. For instance - try writing a function that only accepts a standard single precision floating-point number as it's argument and see how much work you have to do compared to other languages.

Try expressing a Dictionary, Linked List, HashTable, SortedList, SortedDictionary, etc in JS - you'll be writing those structures yourself or cobbling together some random lib. Better languages let you actually express those things without having to write them yourself.
> They like to have yards. They like spacious homes. They like to see the sky and the mountain vistas and the water.

People flock to the Bay Area to have a yard and a spacious home? The lack of those things is the reason I left!

Maybe the very wealthy have yards and large houses in the Bay Area, but most everybody else is living in Manhattan-sized apartments without the benefits of living in a high density area like Manhattan (more walkability, public transit, etc).
If you zoom in on the images you can see why they have so many cameras: loads of dead pixels everywhere. They don’t last forever up there because of the increased radiation. I would assume they don’t really fly stuff like still functioning cameras with loads of dead pixels back. (Even some old iPad seems to get good use as a wall clock next to the dining table.)

Also, if I remember correctly (from some interview with some ESA guy, I think) people on the ground would prefer it if the station were kept tidier – but the people up there are busy people with more important things to do than to keep everything always super-tidy. But inventory management is apparently a big topic and they do have a system for it. (I think even including a barcode scanner to catalogue items.)

I mean, even still, looking at those images, I do have to say everything does seem … tidier than usual. I think they cleaned up before they took them. Those more improvised tours of the station from astronauts you can find on YouTube show a station that is substantially more cluttered. Or at least seem that way. Looking at those pictures and being familiar with others and videos of the station my first thought was not how cluttered everything is but how tidy. Compared to the usual state of things, at least.

I would be happy to use languages like J/K or Julia for our actuarial projection simulations instead of C++. However, despite quicker development times, a factor of 2 in the runtime for our stochastic projections would be terrible. Has anyone experience with those languages in an HPC environment and can compare it to a C++ implementation?
It now works. Pretty pointless post IMHO (in the very sense it fails to make any point).
> causality is still a strong axiom

The "causality axiom" is a nice (or trivial) statement in philosophy. But as far as we know, there's no such axiom in any mathematical theory proved to match physical reality, and nothing so clear cut in modern theoretical physics at all afaik...

Also, physics isn't that much built on axioms, in general: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaUlqXRPMmY (Summarizing Feynman: you still get from time to time cases where you can prove something from "axioms", but then you also find it to still hold in contexts where the axioms don't apply, or even to not work in others where they do apply... and the latter is the case where you have to remake your theory to match reality)

But my main point is that considering something impossible simply because our puny ape brains can't fathom them is preposterous!
I am using Rancher (https://github.com/rancher/rancher) to deploy my containers to AWS and have been pretty happy with it so far. It has a nice UI, good documentation and all the features I need (except for data container persistence, but that's coming soon). I like that it plays nicely with docker-compose files.

I previously used Kubernetes (http://kubernetes.io/) to deploy my containers. It's a very powerful platform, but documentation and usability is seriously lacking compared to Rancher. Kubernetes seems like a good choice if you run a large datacenter and need a lot of control. For a small company the management overhead isn't worth it IMO.
Did some programming on the Kyoto accord. At the time, old forests were thought to be carbon neutral (e.g. in a steady state), while a growing forest clearly absorbs carbon, and we assumed cut trees were released carbon into the atmosphere.

I am curious about the last assumption: Wood products can hang around for quite a while, so while long-term decomposition may release their carbon into the atmosphere, in the short term we have some very old wood around. Hell, maybe we could grow trees and sink them into oxygen-deprived water where they never decay.

Ultimately investment in this area has been reduced as the truth could be very inconvenient for the economies that rely on tree farming or land created by deforestation. See the disgraceful yellow blob: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyoto_Protocol
Someone at Reddit explained that these ridiculous cases come from inconsistencies between federal and state law. In most USA states, adulthood is granted at 16-17 years, but federal law states adulthood is granted at 18 years.

How the prosecutor gets to convince the court that someone is both a minor and an adult illegally taking advantage of himself without being laughed at is beyond my understanding.

A cellmate and no contact with people ever are different things though. You don't even see the guards when food is delivered, it's shoved through a hole in the door. Recreation meant being in a concrete walled yard alone. It's literally worse than a modern zoo.
I've spent my whole life here as well and have ended up in jail because of bureaucracy. I lost a fair amount of of money and missed several days of work, because of this.

The situation was that I got a minor speeding ticket in another state. Paid the ticket. State didn't update their records and it got marked as not paid. My state arrests me for failure to appear in court, suspends my license, threatened to impound my car, etc... I did nothing wrong in this case. The only way I was able to get it fixed was to talk to the director of the department of transportation for my state. I got lucky basically.

By the way, I'm a white middle aged male, so this isn't anything to do with race. I'm not saying this is a good or bad thing, just that the issue is systemic and not something that's merely cultural. The US justice system is extremely heavy handed and fairly deficient.

Where is the accountability in your world? If I pistol whip somebody in the face and take their wallet, then it sounds like (by your logic) that society has failed that person, rather than that person failed to abide by the shared social contract (to not engage in criminal behavior).

The behaviour of JavaScript's bitwise operators isn't that unreasonable, but the excessive use of this trick for tiny performance gains at the expense of readability is a shame.

something similar happened to my best friend when he interviewed there.

They told him to take two days for the interview process. He goes through both days (16+ hours of grueling questions and whiteboard tests) and he's set to fly out at 6pm, the interview wraps up at 2pm.

Recruiter comes up while they're exiting last interview and asks him if he can stay one more day, another department head wants to interview him for another position. He balked and caught his flight back on time, thinking whatever he just went through should be more than enough information for whoever wanted to take another full day to ask him questions.

Never heard from them again. No follow-up, no email, no nothing.

He figured the last question was a test, to gauge how bad he wanted to work there. He said it was a really shitty way to determine how driven someone is by wasting two days of their time, then rudely asking him to cancel his flight, call his employer, and make another boatload of arrangements on the spur of the moment.

He did get subsequent recruiting emails and simply replied after his last experience, he wasn't interested.
The problem we are having today is people that are overweight. Notice I said overweight and not obese. You don't have to be obese to have sleep problems. Simply getting your weight down enough can often reduce sleep apnea, which increases the quality of sleep.

In addition, when we go to sleep matters, and this can vary, depending on the person.

Finally, the amount of light, noise, the mattress, pillow, etc. all matter. Don't cheap out, but the most expensive mattress is not guaranteed to be the best. Don't sleep on a couch or an uncomfortable mattress.
I've wanted this as well... plus keep track of how long commands took to run and (heck, why not?) output!

I don't like the idea that my IDE is a tool that will stop working if I stop paying the ransom for it. This model may be the future, but it's a very icky feeling that I can't purchase to own software that runs entirely on my desktop, since that's been the model for YEARS.

Paying annually for support and to receive upgrades feels very reasonable. My IDE ceasing to function because I've stopped paying annually does not.

Not to mention that a lot of the problems you mention have native solutions in ES6.

A simple point along these lines- if something is commonplace, it generally isn't newsworthy. The contrapositive applies as well.
This creeps me out for several reasons. One, we don't know why they're targeting certain people. It could be based on their search term, it could be based on their search history. It's a little coincidental that this guy happened to need a job at the appropriate level.

Secondly, it's trying to make this horrible recruitment-hoop-jumping bullshit fun. Imagine asking a worker from...basically any other industry to do exercises for 2 weeks before you'll consider them for an interview. You'll be quickly told where to go.
Betteridge's law of headlines gives a definitive answer ?
Is there any indication or evidence that this will be successful at a massive scale?

Quite frankly, at those prices, I'm not sure either has an appeal greater than my own car, sitting in my garage, available whenever I want.

I'm extremely sceptical that all the people I see driving on the freeway every day would rather sit in a Prius with three strangers twice a day on their morning and evening commutes.

I think driverless cars are the future of transportation, I'm just not certain that driverless cars and car sharing will be married at the hip from day one. There is lots to figure out to make car sharing appealing at a larger scale than it already is. Most of the things I see suggested just don't have enough appeal to convince me that people will change their current behaviors for them.
Thanks, great answer!

This seems a little unsettling when you think about it. As if they had been tracking him and just waiting for the right moment to spring this on him. I wonder how receptive he would have been had they approached him in a more traditional manner. Perhaps because of the uniqueness of their approach he was more receptive to going along with it?

Had this happened to me, I probably would have done an Elliot Alderson and tossed my PC in the microwave.

One of the things I liked about the previous model was that I could continue using an older version of the software, assuming it met my needs and evaluate future planned features and future versions before deciding to purchase an upgrade or new license. If I don't renew, I don't get support and I can't use the new features in the new version - but I can still use the software I purchased in the state it was in.

If I'm understanding correctly, there's no option not to upgrade and continue using an old version of the product under the new model - the instant you stop paying, the product can no longer be used (after the month has finished). Personally this makes me feel like I don't 'own' the software anymore - instead, I'm just renting it.

I'm also interested to see if IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate will continue to offer the other language plugins (PHP, Python etc) that allows it to do what the other IDEs do under this pricing model.

I'd have no problem with this pricing approach if it was available alongside the existing system - so developers who use many different languages can use the subscription service if they feel it offers better value for them. Developers who prefer the previous model can opt to continue renewing annually to receive support and updates. I'm somewhat surprised and disappointed to see JetBrains forcing everyone down this path once their existing licenses have expired.
