Sure, but why did you enable the -R flag?

We are talking about the default way of doing things in the most commonly by far used implementation.

I'm not saying someone should have relied on the specific ordering or that the code that does rely on it is a great way of doing things.

CPython2 did make that promise -

CPython implementation detail: Keys and values are listed in an arbitrary order which is non-random, varies across Python implementations, and depends on the dictionary’s history of insertions and deletions.

In other words, the order should be the same no matter how many times you restart the application.

It is a subtle source of bugs since it always worked in each specific version of CPython2 without the -R flag.

First, there are other categories a brilliant scientist could use. The O visas are set up for this type of person. Second, if brilliant, non-tech scientists aren't getting as high a wage as a code monkey then can you really say there is a shortage of non-tech scientists? One of the main justifications of the H1B program is that it fills a shortage. If there is a real talent shortage then wages should increase as the supply of available workers dwindles. Allocating visas based on wage is a rough attempt to identify the biggest shortages and fill them. It also helps address the criticism that H1B visas are used to drive down wages.
It's a couple of things.

First, cell phones ate EVERYTHING. So, the only volume is in cell phones. Cell phones only need a few different types of chips but they need them in massive quantities.

Second, the cost of creating a chip is too high. The "maker" culture relies on the fact that creating a PCB is cheap. Between the cost for EDA VLSI tools and the NRE for creating a mask set, you blow $100K before you even get started making a chip. I suspect that we probably have the ability to digitally image 1.0um or larger features so we don't have to cut a mask set, but it's a chicken/egg problem. Since nobody wants 1.0um+ processes anymore, nobody will develop the technology for them, so nobody will design for them, so nobody will want 1.0um+ processes.

Third, modern fab capacity is ridiculous. A single 300mm wafer can produce 70,000 1mm^2 chips or 700 1cm^2 (a big chip nowadays). How many customers can consume those kinds of volumes?
I call bull.
The government has a strong incentive to prove to us that they are doing an effective thing, and obama and various other officials have been quoted saying from 54 down to various numbers of attacks, and their claims have been shown to be bogus.

This argument is actually subject to Russel's Teapot, if you cant prove or disprove anything the burden of proof is on proving the thing. I have yet to see any evidence.
So this phone is $10 retail. In it you gotta discount amazons margin, any middle mans margin, shipping and logistics, and marketing. Now add subtract to the original manufacturer. The manufacturing has to be few or less dollars, and that has to include raw materials and labor. With such a low price it's very unlikely you have the nicest pays and most environmentally responsible practices.... There isn't enough room for it.

The only plausible way imho is if all the stock to make it was already fabbed and not sold, so either they lose the already invested money or discount it significantly to minimize loss (and it'd still be a net loss)
Just went through an IPO and we had a stock split to bring the price down to a number around $14. Square could also be doing a split so that $9 doesn't mean D & E are getting screwed.
> If surveillance works, then Paris, Beirut, Bagdad et al wouldn't have happed.

I don't think surveillance is very good at preventing terrorism, but I think it could be useful to law enforcement after the fact to round up co-conspirators. I bet that once the identity of the Paris attackers was learned, the NSA pulled up a graph several levels deep of everybody they communicated it or associated with. It could very well help them figure out who else is involved and should be watched.

For the record, I'm opposed to surveillance and would be even if it were shown to be very effective. Privacy is important and is worth more than the lives that have been or will be lost to terrorists and other criminals.

a stock split doesn't account for the lower total evaluation.
That's how a lot of pilots die in crashes. They think they can pull a plane out of a hopeless dive in time to save it, and they end up cratering. It was pitch black, he had no idea of the attitude of the plane, he was picking up speed, and he was at the absolute minimum safe distance to eject. At that point, it takes a cooler head to punch out than to try to save the plane.
They'd be smart to hand out some heavy cash bonuses to employees that have been dreaming about $20 per share for years.
Good to see the Triforce in there.
The stock options priced is based on the 409a valuation, not on what investors paid in the last round, so they might not be worthless.
It'd be just a trait. You can have better vision than 20/20, does that make 20/20 vision a disorder? Truth is some people have below average ability to focus on far objects, but to go outright saying there's something wrong with their eyes or minds, I think is getting one or two steps beyond truth.
I didn't pick up on your sarcasm at all! So lol!

This is an interesting story, but misses a much more important aspect of the creation of national parks: the expulsion of native Americans who lived on those lands. You see, america was never an empty wilderness. It was always full of people. The idea of unspoiled nature is an idealistic dream, like the myth of Paradise.

What's worse, the myth of an empty wilderness provides a convenient excuse for white settlement into Indian lands: we never had to steal the land from the Indians, because the land was empty.

It wasn't empty.

A smart meta-OS, a computer butler a la Jarvis. I want a ultra-light weight daemon that sits on my network and learns what I use, when and where. Then, after getting a fair amount of data it starts to subtly suggest my next step.

Say, I use Itunes every morning at 6 am for my morning run, except on Sundays or holidays. My Jarvis would see that I'm up and going outside and it's a Tuesday and get my regular playlist ready as a little icon on an unobtrusive toolbar. Or whatever it finds and figures out. Sure it would be a little clunky at first, but people tend to be regular and predictable. Also, people tend to externalize their bodily functions, fire is an external step of digestion and clothing is an external form of fur.

Clearly defining a psychological disorder is far more nuanced than colorblindness and myopia, and there is good reason to believe certain of them are diagnosed too frequently. We can acknowledge this without denying the existence of psychological disorders.

Why? The investors get an exit, Jack can cash in his shares, and the general public can inherit the rest. In the near term there will probably be layoffs, as soon as Wall Street realizes that the company had no real direction or traction that can support a multi billion dollar valuation.
Anyone who is against this "privatization of public lands to extract wealth" can you explain what is different about this than, say, Tesla's gigafactory or your family home, or Giant Stadium, or literally every other piece of property in the world?

I don't understand how someone could be against this kind of thing and yet feel that they are entitled to their quarter acre lot just because they were able to make a deal with someone who made a deal with someone who murdered the native people who are arguably the only legitimate inheritors of the land.

The conclusion I've come to is that no land deed has any moral claim, and they should all be invalidated. Other people who are open proponents of manifest destiny and acknowledge that it's essentially just a violent power struggle and you protect your land with whatever means you have... these days being in good standing with the police force and other people with weapons... That also seems like an internally consistent position.

But people who think one piece of land can be owned by a person but another one can't... I just don't get it. How does that make sense in your head? Is it just a statute of limitations thing?
This sort of true-Scotsmanning does libertarianism no favors. I say that having voted for Gary Johnson last time around.

* Jank occurs frequently

* hidpi support until theoretically recently was only on the Mac

* it's too often indexing

* vim support is mediocre

* themes are terrible and require difficult ways of installing instead of centralizing and hosting

* too many tiny icons of poor design with no text unless you hover

* overall UX is terrible (why can't it be like someone Apple would design for consumers -- Xcode isn't their finest work but is better than the low bar of IntelliJ)

* font rendering is shit (blame Java)

* their iOS environment is such a shit show that it's not even funny, and only now they're opening Xcode for IB instead of having a decent replacement that can do story boards (does it even have swift 2.1 support?)

* many more issues but this is enough

> A lack of mathematical intuition is a serious problem for many people from engineering to biology to economics.

This is true. I can't really say why, but after my Discrete Mathematics class a lot of my Computer Science problems became a lot easier to reason about.
You don't have to use those words. For instance, for

n >> k >> ln(n) >> 1,

he says "Specifically, we require n much greater than k much greater than log n much greater than one", and says it's unwieldy. Well, if you say it like that, then it is.

"Specifically, we require than the magnitudes of n, k, log n, and one be in decreasing order with significant distance between each."

Not a problem. Just don't try to read notation literally in the order it's written.

It has to be posted in 2 visible places in the place of work (typically a bulletin board). I believe the rationale behind this is to allow other employees to ask about applying for the job.

As people below mentioned, it is anonymized and typically shows the salary range and the job classification.
This is for preferred stock though, not for common stock. Employee options would be priced to common stock.
> I led a platoon in Iraq, and we did nothing of the sort.

I fought in Fallujah; I would be very surprised to hear from the residents that they did not feel terrorized or modify their behavior in response to our activities. I have no doubt that you don't see yourself in that light, but your intents mean very little to those people.

Putting too much weight on either perspective, the action's originator or recipient, leads to all sorts of silliness (the concept of hate crimes, donglegate, etc). Try to detach yourself and just consider the facts.

Don't forget that in 2007 Edward Snowden started funding and training anti-government groups in Syria, then in 2009 when he won election, he upped his game and then in 2011 started arming them. Then in 2012 when Russia approached him with a deal to have Assad step aside and force the Syrian government to stop murdering its people, Snowden laughed and said Assad was on his way out anyways and he didn't need their deal. This is definitely all Snowden's fault.

If you look at gross profit (164.4 million for the first semester 2015) it's a much more comparable metric to what SaaS revenue would be. The problem with overall revenue in this market it that it's a low margin and more that half of it goes to the credit card companies.

With ~328 profit per year, they are getting about 8X multiple - very comparable to Hubspot, Zendesk which are doing terrific in the public markets.

For anyone getting stock options, expect as much as 6X-8X multiple on revenue if your gross margin is >60% and your year-to-year growth is >70% - the 10X-14X days are gone. Else, if year to year growth is below 70%, or gross margin less that 55%, expect 2X-4X.

"Disorder" is just a label. Does it matter whether you call it a "disorder" or some other word? The key thing is not that it's something wrong with you, but rather that it's something about you which is shared by a lot of other people, which means you can learn from their experience instead of trying to get by with just your own.
Wait, seriously? That sounds horrible. :(

What version of OS X are you using? Are you using an Mac-oriented keyboard (ctrl/option/command) or a Windows-oriented keyboard (ctrl/windows/alt)? Also keep in mind, if you haven’t already tested it out on multiple computers, it could be the keyboard itself that’s dying.

(I’ve never experienced the issue. I actually do use a Windows-based keyboard on my Mac, but I use it with ControllerMate¹ (swapped the Windows key and alt key and changed the functions of all the nonstandard keys (multimedia keys, zooming in and out keys, Windows Flip 3D key, etc.)).

It becomes a disorder when it's detrimental to regular life. Many who have ADHD are incredibly frustrated at their apparently lack of willpower. It's not the rest of society pressuring them to come closer to the norm, they want to get themselves to the norm too. Perhaps it is overdiagnosed and overmedicated in some settings, (I realize you're trying to get conversation away from the more black and white physical conditions... myopia has always seemed a good analogy though, so I'm going to continue using it temporarily) but you wouldn't tell a shortsighted person that they're not that far off of the bell curve, just squint your eyes once in a while to make up for missing detail.
Exciting to see the rc released. I've been waiting up until this point to really dive into a project.

One of the things that will be a huge barrier for me though is the lack of system.drawing. I've worked in the sign and graphics industry for 8 years and a lot of software I have written relies on system.drawing. The font rendering is crucial. It appears the only feasible option is the mono implementation.(and maybe that is good enough)

Looking ahead I'm curious if there will ever be aa coreclr replacement for this? It seems Microsoft closed the open issue regarding this.

Like you, I am not as confident as some of the other commenters that a diagnosis is beneficial in all circumstances. The issue is not whether mental health disorders exist, but the difficulty in diagnosing them accurately and treating them effectively. Their definitions are nebulous, the symptoms are subjective, and some of them only exist within a certain social context. With a diagnosis, a person might find a treatment, or may become resigned to being a certain way. Subjective symptoms might arise as a result of belief in the diagnosis, thereby confirming it. Treatment options are often of doubtful effectiveness, and those that are shown to be effective are generally very blunt instruments. The fact is that our understanding of the human mind remains primitive, and we much approach this subject with humility.
>There's a difference between being able to come up with a solution in 1 hour vs being able to come up with a solution in 1 hour on a whiteboard, with no internet access, and with someone breathing down your neck the whole time.

You can usually fit about 15 lines of code on a whiteboard which tends to bias questions to simple logic questions. Why do you need internet access? Also why does someone have to breath down your neck? They could leave you alone for 45 minutes and come back.

>Otherwise, I feel you'd be better served by an interview that more closely emulates the actual working environment that your employees work under.

Why do you feel this way?

I think that programmers should have as many programming related patterns memorized as possible - For e.g. How to compose different kinds of programs when given different resource restrictions, or having basic algorithmic concepts in their head so they can quickly choose one over the other. A programming test should immediately indicate if the candidate has such things on the tip of their tongue or not.

In much the same way as you don't open a high school physics textbook when you go about building an airplane, you don't want someone who has to google basic programming knowledge that they should just have in their head.

IME, when you start with a very high level of intrinsic knowledge it's much easier to make connections and come up with unique solutions, because your not constantly 'searching' for things. Instead you're just 'picking' the right building blocks. Or maybe trying to quickly eliminate obviously bad choices. Ofcource there is much more nuance, but you can't state everything in a single comment ! :")

Well, given the fact that Phil himself doesn't use PGP, I don't think I'd call it a 'conspiracy'. It just turns out that reliable, secure, identifiable crypto is hard to do...

That's why prz is doing Silent Circle now. VoIP crypto is actually easier, since you can rely on the fact that it's very difficult to convincingly forge someone's voice. Tie that to the crypto verification (via SAS) and it's easy for anyone to have a secure channel they're confident is actually secure.

What incentive is that? The only people they have to prove their worth to are the people that have the power to shut them down.

We as a society do not have that power, and that should be obvious by now.

When a court decided what they were doing was illegal, less than a day later (probably the fastest anything has EVER happen in the legal system), another bench decided that what the NSA was doing was TOO BIG TO STOP. Like seriously, their argument for not stopping something UNCONSTITUTIONAL was that they were doing too much of it.

You and I, and every other civilian who actually understands what they're doing have ZERO power to stop them, so they have ZERO incentive to convince US what matters.

You know who they DO have to convince? The exact people that keep voting to KEEP THEM IN POWER.

I don't care what Obama and his administration claims, like I said, they have no incentive to prove anything to the American public.
