Respect is kind of like personal hygiene. If you want to be the smelly kid, go for it. People might not want to hang out with you though.

What's so funny about the great PC-hate is that people sit there and complain that others are spending too much time being PC. Now just imagine those same fools complaining about others spending too much time on their personal hygiene, pretty ridiculous eh?

What's even more funny is that some people think that politicians could be non-PC and do just fine...do smelly kids get picked first or last?

If you think about it, PCness is such a non-issue that it really brings to light how completely botched the US political climate is. If you spend the time to post a diatribe on PCness, you are supporting non-thoughtful/non-constructive discourse on important issues. You probably think bathtime is stupid and you probably think careful, respectful communication is just too much effort. Well, sorry to burst your bubble: politics are EVERYWHERE. Everything we do is awash with political forces and the more effort/thoughtfulness/care you put in to dealing with them, the more you will gain (at least the respect of your peers). On the flipside, the more you choose to ignore PC, respect, etc., the more you will find yourself an outsider and a pariah.

So the next time you read/hear someone expressing the ills of PC or the joys of nonPC, just imagine they're school-age kids complaining of the degradation of bathtime or waxing poetic about the virtues of smelliness.

Doctors "practice" medicine. Know one knows it in and out.

Remember that next time you get a diagnosis. "Doctors practice medicine."
@Xyik, I agree with you. Let's not forget job descriptions are written so poorly, it does not tell you exactly what the company is looking for. So for a candidate whose background closely match the job description, I don't see how this is a good question to ask.
Some of the big chains now have a "best rate guarantee" intended partly as marketing, and partly to pressure their franchisees to offer the cheapest rates through the official booking channel. If you book directly and then find a cheaper rate elsewhere within 24 hrs, they'll match + usually give you something extra. For example Holiday Inn matches plus makes the first night free; Hyatt matches plus an extra 20% discount; etc. This is enforced by corporate management's customer service, but gets charged back to the individual hotel, making for interesting dynamics.

In practice whether this actually works is all over the map. Some chains will deny the claim if the cancellation terms are even slightly different, e.g. they'll say the rate on the official site was more expensive but doesn't violate the best-rate guarantee, because it allows cancellation until 6pm, instead of 5pm, which is a better set of terms. This then makes it easy to discount in third-party channels without technically violating the guarantee, by deliberately modifying the terms slightly. Other chains follow closer to the spirit of the "guarantee", but it's a bit of a lottery.

As for why they don't just offer their best rates on the official channel to begin with, without some kind of policing from the franchiser: mostly, it's market segmentation based on price sensitivity. People booking at an aggregator are more likely to have no real brand loyalty and be sorting by price, so hotel owners want to discount their rates to show up competitively in the comparison. But people booking through hyatt.com or holidayinn.com are more likely to have brand loyalty, possibly be accumulating points/status on the company dime, possibly are already committed to a specific hotel, etc. The hotel in this channel isn't competing as directly with side-by-side search results from other brands, so doesn't want to unnecessarily discount. It's in the brand's long-term interest if the official channel becomes known as having the best rates, but each individual hotel may sometimes benefit from charging more through the official channel and discounting elsewhere, hence this back-and-forth between the franchise owners and the brand management.
I'm just wondering what it's like for a data compression expert whether algorithm or coding. It must be really wonderful and energising to see such interest and momentum in ones field.

I wonder if anyone working on the field would have a comment on that.
You keep saying generic. Daraprim is a generic, which has a government instituted monopoly, making it not a subject to free market.

Others could go through the process to be Medicare approved, but that doesn't change that it's not subject to a free market.

Absolutely, but one might just suspect that the download was corrupted, no? Especially in these circumstances. I think as developers we have a responsibility not to assume that, and to be diligent, but I can understand how it happened.
I agree with you on the Adobe software issues, particularly PDF reader. But you raise a question: how can we tell if a security vulnerability is an intentional back door or a goof? It's pretty easy to say "intentional" in some cases, and "goof" in others, but what about the vast majority that will inevitably lie between the easy-to-tell ends of the spectrum?

As an example, there's still room for argument about the Dual_EC_DRBG algorithm, and RSA making that the default PRNG for some or all of their products. RSA denies taking money for it. Nobody can make an airtight case for the NSA deliberately weakening it. Yet we still all kind of view Dual_EC_DRBG with suspicion.

A Disruption Cautionary Tale

Well it would have stopped this actual piece of malware! How often are you installing unsigned applications that a single right click to add to a whitelist is too much effort?
As an anecdote, my mouth watered just a bit when you said "ketchup-soaked burger and fries". :(
I have two words for you:

diaper rationing.

30 minutes late on a 24 hour trip is not horrible. That's only 2% late. But 24 hours late on a 18.6 hour trip is 129% late. That's packing a lunch, eating it, then eating the snacks you packed because you know Amtrak runs late very often, then having another five meals on the train that you didn't plan for, because you never expected even Amtrak to screw up this badly. And this was before mobile hotspots. It was finishing your book, then finishing all the puzzles in your GAMES Magazine, then rereading all of yesterday's newspaper, down to the obituaries from a city you don't even live in, then staring out your window at the featureless nothingness of the Great Plains.

Your traveling companions go from "what an adventure!" to "maybe air travel with a baby over a holiday weekend wouldn't have been so bad," to pandemic cabin fever, to plotting the violent overthrow of the conductor with the guy you just met in the next car.

A ranking executive of Amtrak would literally have to kiss me on my literal ass and hand me a free first-class private sleeper cabin ticket before I would even set foot in another one of their siding-idlers ever again.

I did the math later, and determined that, while it would not have been accurate to say "it would have been quicker to walk", a professional touring cyclist would have been able to beat the train in a race, even including an 8-hour rest break, if he was taking all the performance-enhancing drugs and riding a faired recumbent bike.
Backblaze Announces Low-Cost Cloud Storage Service to Compete with Amazon S3
There isn't really any correlation between smoothness of booms and busts and regulation. Quite frequently regulation causes massive swings because it prevents the market from pricing risk correctly (e.g. The affordable housing act leading to banks not needing to care about mortgage payback risk).
A whole lot of these epidemiological results largely boil down to IQ. You see it over and over again as the missing factor. People with higher IQs drink more. High IQ is independently linked to better health and longer lifespan, almost certainly at the physiological level. They don't live longer because of smart things they do, they are smart because they're healthy. So from the epidemiological data you get the false impression that things smart people tend to do reduce disease or increase lifespan.

> The right click trick works only if the app is not signed. If the app signature is invalid it won't work.

Is it possible that the malware version of Xcode had its signature removed?
Sorry if I sound pedantic but the major gain seems to be related to the use of a cache. It is never said that "React apps render much quicker on first load". Actually, the author almost admits that its application was taking 500ms to render a page on server-side.
Note that "anchor apple" means "signed by Apple's build system". It will not cover the Xcode you get from the Mac App Store (it uses a different kind of signature). This incantation is good enough to check for "an Xcode I legitimately got from a web page download."
Isn't that the entire point of an interview to suss out the response to that question through, albeit, through indirect means. If you just ask it directly, you're not going to get honest answers.
Well, I use Octopress (similar to this) for my own blog. But, for the course, where I wanted all the students and other staff members to be involved, I wanted something much more simple. More specifically - nothing that would require building. Perhaps that could be just me and my preference.

This might be a good solution if people want something a bit more fancy as a course website. Thanks for sharing.

> "I operate on the mindset that the damage done by filling a position with a bad fit is far greater than the damage of not having enough people to do work, and so I believe in optimizing to find the right person for the job."

Who is this guy kidding? This question will simply weed out those who are actually honest. If the person wants the job they're going to tell you what you want to hear to get the job. Unless he's being subtle, and "The right person for the job" is the one most willing to tailor himself to the needs of the employer, and skilled in double-speak.

What a ridiculous question.

You misunderstood the intent. He intended "it's a given that it's at your ideal company with your ideal job title and salary, so we don't have to talk about those".
It was intended as a euphemism, not a literal example of loan sharking.

But the analogy holds. Selling something for 20% of its value with the expectation of having to fulfill the order in a few months is effectively the same as paying an extreme rate of interest on short term business financing.

Do NOT use these techniques please!

I have experience of an early nineties project that was entirely structured like this and trust me, it ends up as a disaster.

C is not meant to be OO, consequently all the tooling in editors and the like do not understand the links between classes and methods.

What it ends up like is an impenetrable mess with all the mechanics of C++ exposed but being impossible to navigate.

again... please do not do this in any project... for the sake of any who will follow you in maintaining your code!
A faster link, but also an already open TCP and SSL connection. By moving the TCP and SSL handshake to an edge-based server, you have much lower-latency when starting a request for the client. The long-haul high-latency connection between the edge and your server is already open, no extra roundtrips required.
The article says, and I quote in detail, "The World Health Organization reported last year that drinking can increase your risk of depression and anxiety, liver cirrhosis, pancreatitis, suicide, violence, and accidental injury. Alcohol is also linked to cancer of the mouth, nose, larynx, oesophagus, colon, liver, and breast cancer in women."
it thought I was spamming b/c replying quickly.
I completely agree with this.

My ideal job? I get paid a hefty salary (presumably by an eccentric patron or institution because who else would front it) to read around in the OED, essays, philosophy, novels, and whatever else catches my fancy, occasionally writing up responses or pointing out interesting or striking connections. My remit also includes writing doggerel, shaggy dog stories, and academic papers. I think I'd be really good at that, and I'd definitely enjoy it, and I could absolutely start on Monday.

But you know what? I've never, ever interviewed for that job, and I never will. I'm interviewing for this job, which presumably I know something about and chose to apply to, even though it's not the ideal. (It's something even better: it exists.)
As PG wrote - persistence is key (http://www.paulgraham.com/really.html). Resources (runway, personal savings) can let you outlast the competition or exist long enough to let the industry you are changing/creating catch up to your innovation.
I was reading about how Estonia and Ukraine were victims to all these client side hacks from the Russian government which Kaspersky magically couldn't detect. I think its pretty obvious they're in cahoots. I imagine these governments are no longer running Kaspersky.

Brian Krebs also writes about popular malware that first does a check to see if its being run on a computer in Russia. If so, it stops running. There's a lot of government sponsored malware coming from Russia. There's a public private partnership to put profitable malware on non-Russian computers and Russian officials turn a blind eye due to corruption, bribes, etc. Its all fairly ugly.
For the record, the TEPCO plant in Fukushima prefecture provided power to Tokyo, Japan.
This is kind of a horrible question. If you are working towards doing something else in the future, you would like to be doing that - and being trained for it - realistically you won't be, you'll be doing the job you are being interviewed for.

There's one issue with Meteor that rarely gets mentioned. While you get hybrid mobile apps out of the box, you'll have hard time integrating native apps with Meteor backend. DDP clients are not official, and there's no minimongo on native clients so you lose critical part of Meteor's appeal. In the late game switching to native apps is more cumbersome compared to when you have a regular REST API backend. But still, Meteor is a amazing piece of technology and I'm happy to see this update.

Just today I went to the doctor and had a bad experience, as it is usual since I came to the US.

I basically love everything about living in America. I love this country. But one thing that I don't love here is primary medical care. It is so damn shitty compared to what is was in my home country of Brazil.

I don't understand what goes on here. I have to basically convince doctors to examine me. They treat me like they're doing me a favor. I'll usually leave the office with a recommendation to take ibuprofen or a prescription for antibiotics, and most of the times that doesn't address my concerns. Also, doctors here have this huge attitude that I don't recall ever seeing on a Brazilian doctor.

I can't fathom how the country with the most advance medicine in the world does so bad on primary care.

A very slim chance, alcohol is the common ingredient to all of those drinks. Alcohol is a muscle relaxant and lowers inhibitions, these qualities make it ideal for stress relief. Which is why it is so popular.

Pure alcohol is toxic, so studying its effects is kind of hard.

I've seen the same deal locally with car detailing. You can walk in off the street and pay $100 or get 50% off regular $200 on Groupon. Or groupon car detailing doesn't include (long list here) so basically you just overpaid for a car wash.
Into whose code? He found several bugs and is now writing about it. I'm not sure if I understand your question?
Using global variables isn’t even the worst part. The big problem with this sharing model is that files are loaded in the alphabetical order, thus the only way to control that file a requires file b as a dependency is to give to b a file name that is before a in the alphabet (this is not true for Meteor packages where we can control the file order).

Thankfully MDG plan to address this issue soon.
LOL.

Yeah, that's like saying, 'hey, if you don't like the laws in this country, you can move out.' You sure can; you sure CAN. Disparity of "power". That's what interviews are all about. So you would pass up a great candidate because they disagreed with the relevancy of your line of questioning? It takes a lot more intelligence and self-confidence to consider a question and respectfully opt out of it than to blindly do your master's bidding and muddle through a through a question you don't even understand.

They use Blowfish. Says it all really - their default encryption is a long-obsolete 64-bit block cipher you might have picked in 1999 because it was faster than 3DES.

I can only assume they do this because migrating would cost them money, and being able to advertise "448 bit encryption" actually sounds like a plus to most people and not the glaring red flag it actually is.

> it seems like their software is still first rate

What, like their backup client that can't actually do restores? It's still all "log in to our website and let us decrypt your data for you" :/

It's not clear at all why. Moderate drinkers may live longer than average, but i really doubt your teetotaler statement. - http://www.deseretnews.com/article/705377709/UCLA-study-prov...

The cause is the tricky part. Perhaps moderate drinkers have a more active social live, thus having a larger support group for getting through difficult times. Perhaps they take a moment to reflect on their lives at the end of the day, thus making slightly better choices than their peers (pipe smoking, aside from smoking itself, might fall into this category http://www.seattlepipeclub.org/content.aspx?page_id=22&club_...) Perhaps having wine over dinner, means meals are more thoughtful, increasing quality of food and improving quality of discussion around dinner, improving family life.

Alcohol is bad for you. Perhaps in low regular doses there are some beneficial chemical effects, but what would you put that probability at .05? .1? Far more likely is a halo of other effects that come with the consumption environment.

Slight clarification: "Airmen" in the context here isn't necessary referring to pilots, but Air Force personnel in general. No one should be surprised that the Air Force is seeking to put this program in a positive light, but the headline makes it seem as though pilots are being forced to talk it up about it.

What they're describing is more of a policy statement. Public Affairs Office documents put in writing the message so that various components will speak with a single voice and avoid inconsistencies. Just like PR departments in companies do.

As to whether or not you think the message is valid, I leave to the reader. But I thought I'd give my two cents on what seemed like a slanted headline.

>Where as with alcohol, you can never really strengthen your body against a hangover.

Actually, you do. A sign of true alcoholism is that you stop having hangovers (if you could call that strenghten is another question). But that's just nitpicking, the running analogy is far-fetched in other ways.
