> What they should do is work an equal split. Five parties? 20% each. If the "leader" wants to run with the project and pursue it in a more serious capacity they can make an offer to the team that will result in dilution.

Exactly, that makes total sense. Why then did one of the developers, OP's friend, another developer that agreed, propose 0.4%? This is where I get the feeling OP isn't telling the whole story.

Knowing nothing else and asked to speculate, I'd say that they proposed 0.4% knowing that Billy wanted to work on his own idea and wanted to turn this into a company, while they just wanted to have a fun startup weekend working on someone else's idea and then go home and go back to their normal lives. As a reward, they propose 0.4% of whatever company arises out of the startup weekend, without wanting to be part of anything else later. Billy said he's happy with that arrangement and they go forth.

Why 0.4% and not 100% / n team members? Because it makes no sense for the team of 9 people ultimately for each to have 11% equity in a company that perhaps only Billy will be running. That would mean if a company is formed and everyone gets an 11% share, but nobody actually works there except Billy who works 80 hours a week the next 10 years and turns it into a success, he has the same 11% share as any of the other guys who merely spent 20 hours over a weekend on this. That's why, if you're not interested in running this company beyond StartupWeekend, you'd propose 0.4%, a small percentage for a weekend contribution that is still significant if the company ends up worth a lot (e.g. $10m, means $40k for a weekend of work). A more granular valuation of the work is to simply value it as a fixed amount of money, say $1k per dev, but then you're getting in the realm of 2-day work-for-hire which doesn't make much sense in the context of StartupWeekend, it requires money transfers, investments and risks, and it just doesn't make much sense in a 2 day context to hire random stranger devs. Saying let's see what is possible, if it has any value well let's each have 0.4% even if we don't continue past this weekend, is more practical.

This is why I suspect that the article is only part of the story and that perhaps everyone was aware that Billy wanted to turn this into his own company and that the rest just wanted to work at it over the weekend for fun and get 0.4% in case their weekend work turned into a valuable enterprise. Why else would you agree to 0.4% and not just say 'let's see what we can come up with this weekend, and after incorporate it on an equal basis if we want to, or buy out the work by those who aren't interested in pursuing it further'?
That's what I'd expect from any middling-to-competent regime, not just the commies (though they of course do it too). For example, the Argentines are famous for making up exchange rates, and my own (American) government has a policy of systematically misreporting inflation and unemployment.
I think it's worth observing that a number of these are just common-sense guidelines for good programming practice, rather than being specific to C++. For example:

"Use exceptions for error handling only"

"Avoid data races"

"Prefer a for-statement to a while-statement when there is an obvious loop variable"

"Don't pass structured data as strings"

"Eliminate redundant indirections" (for performance)

and so on. These don't really lend themselves to automatic checking, but it's still nice to see them written down in one place along with the more language-specific stuff.
What does typing have anything to do with this 'feature' in the number parser? If atoi in C also parsed octal numbers, you would have had the same problem.

Your issue is with the too liberal number parser.
The best thing is to just learn your clientele. I was regularly driving 30-ride days on Lyft where 75% of my rides were at elevated pricing. I do have a PhD in chemistry and a degree in math though, so I had somewhat of a career in analytical thinking and pattern recognition prior to becoming a driver.

If you have questions, feel free to drop a line (contact in profile), I drove in two cities for about a year (I do contract coding now)

This is not possible if you are loading resources over HTTPS (unless the carrier has installed a root certificate on your device, in which case you're not in a great place security-wise anyway).
You seem to imply that all rules are equally as important as one another, while I would say they are not. For example, in a casual game of chess, most would be okay with some of the aforementioned deviations, like taking back a move. I do not think most would accept it if you started moving your pawns around like queens.
I flew Concorde right after it came back into service in late 2001, right after the crash. Highlights were feeling the heat on the windows and seeing the curvature of the Earth. Downsides were tight seats, and the fact that it didn't save that much time vs. a conventional jet. But, it was amazing, and I still wear my Concorde cufflinks. It still seems complete uneconomic.

Sounds like the problem there is layovers.
You can end up needing a lot of different RAII types, which can get a bit annoying. If you're trying to interface with anything that wasn't written with RAII in mind - e.g., any library that tries to be C-compatible - this is pretty much inevitable.

In theory, doing without is a huge problem, because you're running the risk of resource leaks and stale identifiers - but in practice, neither is a huge problem. Picking these sorts of bugs out has been pretty simple in every project I've worked on. I've had far more heartache from the bugs stemming from RAII-type mechanisms holding on to resources longer than they should, than I've had from fixing bugs caused by resource leaks or stale resource identifiers.
Mine too. So much embedded in that simple phrase. Like a Nas verse.
Well, the course is a 5mile run up to a 200m speed trap. So if you allow batteries/motors, you could just sit stationary somewhere in that 5 miles pedalling for a while, and then use electrical acceleration to get up to speed for the trap. You're not bringing any additional energy, but its clearly not in the spirit of the challenge.

The reality that advertisements are the main targets is indicative that they have perhaps been the worst offenders. I'm sure there are many good advertisers out there. I'm sure it is only the 99% that make the rest of them look bad.

>With the pharmaceutical industry, however, there is no such check. To go against Pharma as a Republican is to go against big business. To go against Pharma as a Democrat is to go against "Science."

There are very, very few true ideologues in Congress. The real reason is more prosaic - they won't cross big pharma because they need money for reelection.

Incidentally, the other industries you've listed don't have parties against them. They spread money around on both sides of the aisle.
Time was, laziness was one of the three programming virtues.
747 seats didn't lay flat at the time but, to your basic point, the real market for the Concorde--such as it was--was the international lawyer who had to jet over to London for the day. And it was relatively cramped compared to first class on a 747 and certainly compared to today's wide bodies. I'm not sure how much the Internet has to do with it as the Concorde never really did have a market but probably the "need" for 4 hour trips to New York or London have declined in any case.
Kind of odd to say that a famous playwright and a famous silent film star who were roughly close in age would make an odd couple.
I invite people to have a look at the street view at the map location you've given. It seems like a perfectly wonderful place! If I were to move back to the UK I would pick a place like that over London any day.

I don't think programming ability is actually related to love of large city centres :-P Certainly it is much easier to hire in large cities, but I'm sure you can lure the ones who prefer small towns out of London if you offer them a competitive salary. Whether Dyson is interested in doing that or not, I have no idea.
Would it be within the rules to include a power capturing mechanism like a flywheel or spring that can be unleashed at the end? That would change the game to maximizing total energy output over the 5 miles, and make the whole section count.
As someone who has grappled with fairly severe depression, it's not that you have no desires. Your body does a decent job of making sure you maintain your body by giving you plenty.

It's true it's a bit off topic, but I think it's closely related. Both doctors and researchers are causing deaths and neither has any accountability. Doctors are perhaps a bigger problem. In general, they're simply not competent at their job as seen by examples like this. There are no checks and balances to keep them competent. Perhaps their job really is too difficult for a human to do but then they should be honest about that and tell the patient "I don't really understand your condition, and all I can think of is ..."

You're separating which third party can do that, which is useful. I don't think it's at all unusual or wrong for me to decide that, if I'm using minified jQuery, I trust the jQuery project signing key, but I don't really trust whatever CDN I'm using (or that I want the freedom to choose a CDN solely for technical performance and not for security infrastructure).

If that's not convincing, consider the case where it's my own JS. I don't trust myself to run a CDN; I don't trust a CDN with the ability to modify my code. This allows me to build a single-page app that has ridiculously long cache lifetimes (so my own server load is low), and hand the actual, changing code off to a CDN, but verify my own signature on the data.

If that's not convincing, consider that data signing keys can generally be kept on non-internet-facing machines (and you can airgap, use a HSM, whatever), but performant SSL implementations by definition have to have their private key be in memory on an internet-facing server.
Yes, in case it was not clear, this was intended as a cautionary statement about the impact of having literate and illiterate classes where the literate class constructs a world that keeps the illiterate oppressed by limiting and sanctioning their access to power (and tools).

> An ad blocker actually destroys potential value because sites that used to generate money no longer do.

Or maybe it creates value by allowing me to spend my money on things I care about, rather than bandwidth for video ads?

Or maybe it creates value by speeding up the web for me, giving me the one precious and non-reneable resource: Time?

Or maybe it create value for me by giving me privacy? I value that.

Ad blockers are simply moving value around. If people didn’t think it created value, they wouldn’t have paid for it.
Oh boy Ahmed's Clock reminds me when I brought the (working) guts of a transistor radio to school in 3rd or 4th grade. The teachers proclaimed that I made a radio and had me show it to everyone. I ascribe this to the fact that most people have not ever seen the insides of any electronic device.

It's quite bad, and that's been pretty universally agreed upon, but back in the 90s we didn't think it would be too bad. It turns out in javascript it isn't actually that bad because you can write out a short list of very unambiguous rules to completely avoid loose-typing issues. And virtually everyone except people who just picked up the language follow these rules religiously.

My impression is that in PHP-land it's very hit-or-miss. Some developers adhere to strict guidelines to avoid these kinds of problems and others don't.

Perl programmers generally avoid loose-typing when writing libraries and larger programs, but not while writing scripts for personal use, which I think is a pretty reasonable attitude to have.

It's important to note, because it's often missed, that etcd can operate either as a participant in the high reliability / consensus portion of the cluster, but also as a proxy that does not participate. So you don't have to think in terms of 50%+1 of an entire cluster needing to stay up for consistency, only 50%+1 of the etcd cluster. This is nicely illustrated in the the cluster architecture docs at CoreOS.com.

There is: ads, but people don't like them.

But a natural consequence of thinking about concepts such as entropy and chaos is the emergence of the idea of perfection. A single-atomic layer, defect free crystal of graphene for example. And the fact that we can conceive of and perhaps even strive toward perfection has always seemed "suggestive" to me.

It's really weird to see a frequent fliers' club come together and open their wallets with the sort of dollar values normally seen at, say, alumni events for a major university, or perhaps a charity fundraiser for an ongoing natural disaster.

Then again, when one reads things like "A particularly extravagant excursion was a one-day visit to the pyramids in Cairo in 1982; priced at £780, it was marketed as the most expensive day trip in the world," and ponders the sort of mindset where "most expensive in the world" is considered a marketing point, F. Scott Fitzgerald does come to mind: "Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me."

In Python it does. But then, Python has strong types and won't coerce the strings to numbers for '-', what makes this sane.

That seems like a big liability for them... I'm sure some enterprising lawyers are already plotting a class action. Consumer buys car after test drive and loves performance, but it turns out performance was a lie. They may have to do a buy back.
On additional huge benefit to having a statically typed reflection-less language for a unikernel would be that dead code elimination becomes rather a lot easier. (You'd need whole-program analysis, but that's pretty doable for the ML's of the world, see e.g. MLton.)
I like the movie, and in general most Tarkovsky's movies, (favorite is The Mirror). But I think many expecting a traditional Sci-Fi movie like 2001: A Space Odyssey, or Aliens, might be disappointed.

It is more about humans and what it means to be human than about aliens or special effects.

To summarize the idea of the movie, this quote from Dr. Snaut probably is probably appropriate:

---

I must tell you that we really have no desire to conquer any cosmos. We want to extend the Earth up to its borders. We don't know what to do with other worlds. We don't need other worlds. We need a mirror. We struggle to make contact, but we'll never achieve it. We are in a ridiculous predicament of man pursuing a goal that he fears and that he really does not need. Man needs man!

---

It is also interesting that Stanisław Lem never quite liked this version. It was mostly Tarkovsky's own re-interpretation, which I think is great, but it was not true to the book.

What do you mean you made them pass but you failed? Do you mean that you coded them for the base cases but forgot about the edge cases? If that's the case, maybe you should spend some time on trying to think through the edge cases in your daily work to understand them better.

It's tough to know what you're asking. Are you asking about how do I improve at algorithms or should I apply again?

Don't let it be "humiliating". A guy I've worked with and know he is good at algorithms and is one of the best developers I've worked with also failed the tests. There will be false positives and the time limit doesn't help as it puts unneeded pressure on you.

I did pass the tests and work through Toptal. For my experience, it has been a good one and worth it. I don't know your location but you say it's been difficult to get remote work lately so it sounds like Toptal would be a good source of leads for you.

Also, work on your attitude. You say "pointless exercises" and "stupid tests". If you think that way, you're definitely not going to do your best on them. Just think of them as something interesting that would be a good challenge. It's only 90 minutes IIRC so if you do retake it it's not like you're out that much time.

Also consider, Toptal tries to filter for just senior engineers. Is your skillset really that of a senior developer? It may be. I'm just putting this out there for something to think about.

Hopefully you use this as an experience to grow and become a better developer instead of just dismissing it.
I can't speak for the poster, but I have global entry and share the same sentiment without sarcasm. The government didn't "take" my fingerprints, I gave them to it in exchange for skipping most of customs and domestic security screening. The interview was probably the most noninvasive interaction I've had with CBE. If you don't feel like s worthwhile for you, then don't do it. If the government gets a hard on for framing me, they have much more surefire and efficient methods than planting my fingerprints. Until they start making the normal screenings worse to try and force people into it (which I don't think is the case, the TSA has gotten a lot easier to deal with in the last few years) I don't see it as a miscarriage of justice.
