One weird thing I notice is how people say "countries such as Spain and Greece" when they actually mean "Spain and Greece".

Do they feel like speaking in generalities is more prestigious? Is it as a hedge in case there are more examples they don't know about?
I find that 'excess mental activity' blocks peak-performance when coding. Excess mental activity can be described as 'aversions/judgements/fears' about the work to be done - self-talk like "this looks hard", "fuck I hate this build system", etc.

I try to just stare at the code without judgment for a few moments, then let the fingers do their thing. Sort of a meditative practice - quiet mind instead of quiet eye.

YMMV! :-)
ah, thanks, I forgot about this. Although it doesn't quite do what I want: I want it to truncate to the screen (like normal top), and just print the next summary without clearing the screen. That way you'd use it like normal top, but in case you wanted scroll back it'd be there.
I thought most tech companies are already ball pits to begin with.
cheaper is sometimes from lower-quality, but don't discount the effect of economies of scale. Every doubling of production volume reduces cost by ~30%. For example, Tesla thinks it's gigafactory will reduce the cost of their battery pack by ~30%, because that one factory will double global battery production. The same thing is happening to solar panels. As production sykrockets, prices plummet.
But they have to carry a lot more load which then goes to orbit, making them much more heavier, hard to control and to land. And indeed the separation velocity is Mach 6 - Mach 10 for Falcon 9, so Space-X booster needs to go faster.
You have a very high quality JPEG in this case, even bigger than the PNG. So there aren't visible artifacts in this case.

AMD on Linux is anywhere from 20 - 150% slower than on Windows on either driver depending on workload. Regardless of your title choice, Nvidia will at least have parity with AMD's performance and will usually crush it. It is hard to persuade gamers to adopt a video card with significantly lower performance / $ when they don't care about software ethics.

And its inappropriate to say AMD have "better" open source drivers - Nvidia has nothing to do with Nouveau besides three commits to make their mobile APUs boot right on it so people can immediately install their blob driver, and its a disservice to the community and all the developers that have put huge effort reverse engineering one of the worst technical black boxes in history to give Nvidia any credit for their work. If its any companies driver, its Red Hats, but a super majority of contributions to it are from unpaid or freelance developers.
Vista was a flop because of OEM marketing inadequate hardware as supporting it.

"the only way possible other than accept that it will become a vassal of Russia."

So a few seconds of a flight by a plane from a country supposedly on the same side against the ISIS, over the few km of the territory, is equal to becoming a vassal of a said country. So the only way possible is shooting the plane. Thanks for explaining your view.
Your question seems unexpected, and not necessarily in the charter of every programming gig. I happen to have a great answer to it, after making big improvements to build times, but that is pure chance. The comment at the top of this whole thread has the right idea: sometimes candidates randomly meet unknown expectations, and sometimes the opposite happens.
> Curious, do you write comments like this whenever...

Uh.. I actually often do. I would more, but it generally isn't appreciated and is off topic of the main thread. Here, the software license is a key component of the release seeing as it is a unique component of it.

>Open source is about the source being open plus certain benefits.

It's more than that. The key intent of OSS is the right to study, change, and distribute the software to anyone and for any purpose. The source code is just a prereq for that ability.

I did initially use stallman-esque language, since it's terminology most people are familiar with in this field, but I'll approach it from a different point since I personally have problems with strong copy-left licenses.

The primary thing this license doesn't do is allow distribution in the OSS spirit. This is really just a pervasive license, actually in some ways similar to the Stallman-esque virality except with a corporate intent. It simply masquerades as OSS.
Fitting the expectations of existing communities is valuable for programming languages. Not having operator precedence made Smalltalk eaiser to learn by 8 year olds, but much harder to sell to engineers.

However, if we'd like to get at what in language design can facilitate learning, reduce bug rates, and enhance productivity, we probably should do some research by introducing programming languages to children. It would be useful to be able to separate out qualities and features that affect bug rates and productivity, without the confounding effect of programmer preconceptions.
Having read "The Inner Game of Tennis", this just seems like the obvious thing to do.
Looks to me from a simple Wikipedia search that the Netherlands follows the Bismarck Model (Germany, Switzerland) rather than the Beveridge Model. UK's NHS is one of a kind. Not a lot of countries have or can afford to have the same type of healthcare system as UK.
The difference between Paypal and real life is that Paypal works with arbitrary laws they set up, and real life works with the laws of physics. You can prevent fraud on the Internet by doing tricky filtering. You can't prevent someone from stealing a sandwich at gunpoint by rewriting how the universe works.

Enforcement is not perfect, but that the police can punish the armed sandwich thief in principle is already a deterrent. It is common knowledge who in this situation would be in the right. Compare with government-free world, where to determine who's right we'd have to make our security companies get into a firefight over it. And they'll probably decide that fighting isn't in their best interest and shoot us instead. They can always find more customers.

Microsoft accused Google of spying on you and invading your privacy in a number of failed PR campaigns. It was then discovered that not only was Microsoft spying on you, but they took it to the next level with their links with the NSA, their invasion of a user's email and storage accounts and the built in spyware embedded into Windows 10.
Berlin has a housing shortage, and these measures are just workarounds. Before the refugee crisis, a growth of 40.000 people per year was expected, vs. plans to build 10.000 new apartments. The decision against developing the the abandoned Tempelhof airport only makes it worse, and shows some of the social problems in the city. Bear in mind that everybody who got to vote on the referendum already lived in Berlin:

"Though about 20 per cent of the development was to be reserved for affordable housing, the locals decided to keep their expansive city oasis free of any new buildings. The rationale was that increased supply often only means more luxury dwellings and does not address affordability."

"Luxury" here doesn't mean huge, it just means "well built, nice kitchen, 14 EUR/m^2". It's like saying: "I don't want anybody else to buy a car, because they might get a Mercedes, which I cannot afford."

The social housing system is also quite unfair, if you ask me. Social housing apartments are in regular buildings, not separated from the rest. The idea is to counter gentrification, and keep the population mixed. You are only eligible below some margin of income. So far so good, but if you work and earn one Euro too much, you need to pay twice the rent, for the exact same apartment.
Regarding the semantic search, does this / could this have the capability to do multi instruction queries?

Example, show me variables that are incremented, not validated (ie. don't appear in an if statement), and used in an allocation?

These things are dismissed because they are dismissible.

For example, the article says:

And links to an Ars Technica article. If you follow this link, you will find that it says nothing of the sort: Windows 10 doesn't send identifiable information to Microsoft as far as this article is concerned.

Quick & Simple Tutorial on Angular2 Templates
I interviews around a bit this summer. I found one position that, on paper, I was the perfect candidate. I ticked every checkbox the hiring manager mentioned. I met with the hiring manager first, and she loved me and by the end of the meeting was insisting that I come into the office for an onsite with her team. A few days later, I went into the onsite and nailed it. I mean, there were zero indications that I had flopped. By the end of the day, the hiring manager came in, smiling and asked me the good stuff about salary expectations, when i could start, etc. All good responses.

Then she said that since this is a senior position, we'd have to run it by the CTO, who was based across the country. They decided to do a Skype interview. As soon as the screen came up, I got a sinking feeling in my stomach. The CTO was relatively hostile and didn't smile throughout the whole session, even when I cracked a joke that never fails to get a response. By the end, she gave a terse "Thanks for your time" and that was it.

I didn't get the job.

But this is one of those things where I really believe I put my best foot forward, and I really believe that I was a great fit for that job, and I really believe that there was some other factor completely, 100% beyond my control that caused me not to get the job. Maybe she already had someone in mind. Maybe she was having a bad day. Maybe I had something stuck in my teeth, or maybe someone close to her died. Who knows?

I'm still really bummed I didn't get that job, but at the end of the day, it is what it is, and I have to move forward.

Good luck with your next interview, OP. It'll work out eventually. :)
It looks like this is only possible when we are mixing server side / client side templates? Enter an expression into input, a user hard refreshes and the expression is rendered into our angular template. Are there any good approaches to always scrubbing expression input on the server side (or just avoid the client side / server side template mix?)
You should thank technological progress instead of capitalism.
Just to verify, railroads are the most efficient mode of transportation? We wouldn't want roads with electric vehicles instead, right?

As analogy, I guess I'd compare the electrical grid to solar panels with batteries (think Tesla Power Wall).

> You know what they call the big thinker who is looking for a job with his shiny new PhD?

In technical fields (which is what this article is about)?

The ones who choose to stay in academia and are lucky enought to find a position are called "Professor".

The unlucky or disillusioned ones -- as well as the (majority) of PhDs who never even intended to go into academia at any point during thier studies -- are called, variously, "Engineer", "Analyst", "Consultant", etc. and typically start in the low six figures (and not even in the bay area / NYC). They take a marginal hit to their lifetime earnings, but in most cases make decent salaries and get to work on more interesting problems (obv. interesting is subjective).

> Unemployed.

The unemployment rate for STEM PhDs is ludicrously low (FYI: if you google this, be aware that the Slate article by Jordan Weissmann is IMO purposefully misleading. See Table 1 of http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/infbrief/nsf14310/ and compare to his graphs. E.g., his graph seems to indicate that the unemployment rate for CS PhDs was over around 15% in 2001, but the NSF tables makes it clear that the rate was 0.9%, which is even more than what most economists refer to as full employment. In fact, in CS, the increase for 0.9% to 2% is almost entirely attributable to there being a lot more retired CS phds now than 10 years ago (for rather obvious reasons). So the stats he's using to tell his story are, at very best, unintentionally but absurdly non-representative of the actual state of affairs. It's like asking someone the day after they quit their job if they've started their new job yet and, when they say "hell no, taking some time off to recharge", assuming they're unemployable and/or don't have something lined up.)
From the research I have done, this is a true statement. The reason being is people are adding Angular into their web apps that were initially built with an MVC framework of some sort.

The problem ends up being that they mix server side templates with client side templates. If user input is rendered in a server side template and ends up in an element that is part of the Angular scope, the expression will evaluate. So attaching an angular controller to your body tag and then including server side templates within the body, is bad...

Introducing 'Formative' by Reddit and Google
In a very narrow view (i.e., how the world exists at this moment) I agree that both are necessary.

Over a longer time horizon, I'm not certain how "obvious" it is governments are superior. It takes time for alternative institutions to develop, but the institutional problems that are inherent to governments are avoidable through private institutions. The presence of governmental institutions causes a lot of distortion and disincentives to create alternative forms of governance (governance that could surpass governments in terms of quality provided), so I'm not certain we should simply look at the world as it is today and conclude that governments are inherently superior.
Everyone else has already told you, but I'll tell you again. The media is saying Elon was just beat at his own game. Elon tweeted to point out that it's a horrible comparison, what he's been trying to do is much harder.

There is a slight mistake in the article toward the end where the interviewer asks what good the BJS statistics are and the response is polite waffling and its wrong. What its actually extremely useful for is numerical prediction of how many beds you'll need in 10 years so build X prison beds per year etc, based on greater population growth and "repeat customer" rates. I'm not talking about conspiracy level stuff or isn't the prison industrial complex evil signalling, but just predictive numbers. The meta problem that the article does overall get correct is trying to apply "how many beds to build" statistics to "what fraction of prisoners turn their lives around" is totally useless as the interviewee properly states. In that way the BJS stats are awesome for construction budget projections while being simultaneously totally useless for pontificating on cultural problems. The dude interviewed basically gets this correct in long format, only screwing up this one question.

No one else has caught the obvious startup analogy of freemium model whales, AFAIK. Most people playing freemium games do not pay in. On the other hand a huge fraction of freemium revenue comes from whales. Therefore you can make all kinds of weird inaccurate statements about the revenue vs population distribution. Like if all your revenue comes from whales, all your customers must be whales, right? Or all your revenue comes from repeat customers therefore most customers are repeat customers. Strange logic like that.
I've been talking to these guys and using their stuff in various forms for over a year now. I worked on developer tooling for years at Twitter, and had been feeling like this space (code discovery / review / nav ) was ripe for an evolutionary leap for a long, long time. I was really excited to meet the team at Sourcegraph and learn they not only had the same vision, they were executing on it at a very high level. I'm really curious to see how the world uses their stuff, and I hope it lights a fire under the asses of all the other people working in this area. :)

The fact that the source is publicly available (with a license that, I think, is just as evolutionary in that space as their product is in its space) is the cherry on top of a really tasty sundae.

(Full disclosure: I invested in their team as soon as I was able to. So I have a financial interest in the company doing well, although my primary interest is in seeing products of this sort continue to evolve and develop in a direction that will give greater leverage to developers everywhere. I am also a total fanboy, but that follows from the above. ;-0)
When would you actually need a relational database running on such a small platform, today?

I understand programming in general and microcontrollers; I was paid to program one. Still, surely nowadays a system with a tiny 8-bit microcontroller is probably considered as auxillary to some kind of larger machine, which should be way better equipped to do the heavy lifting such as SQL databases?

So much bias to unpack in your comment. Nobody needs all of these things? Nobody's idea of progress? According to you? Your strawman example seem awful to me, but I bet there are many many people who would prefer to be workaholics with mansions and nannys to having lots of free time to enjoy their family in a rented apartment. I find it a little contradictory that you seem to simultaneously think we're all brainwashed sheep that really should instead be a bunch of robots that all only value things purely based on utility. How is that different?

> Hidden city ticketing doesn't waste the airline's fuel. They'd burn just as much fuel if you used all segments you purchased.

The same amount of fuel is being burned, but one less person is getting transported to their destination. I see a pretty clear-cut example of waste here.

> It's not generally considered unethical to, say, buy a bottle of wine just to dump it out. Why would the same thing be unethical when it's an airline ticket instead?

Not sure if it's not generally considered unethical. It's probably wine being in abundance that makes people don't mind. But imagine if you bought one of the last few bottles in the shop, and then went and dumped it on the ground. It's totally legal, but I don't think many would argue it's good conduct.
