I am sorry that you had a bad experience with us. Evaluation is a really complicated thing. The bar that we use for evaluating the take-home project is to treat it as real work, e.g. would a teammate feel good if you were working with them on this task, and you came back after half a day with this. Because we can't see process, all we can do on the take-home track is judge of the finished result is professional-level programming. We do indeed pass people who do not complete the project on the 1st call, but they need to be on a good path (where we think they can finish by the 2nd call).

I do not know who you are (and would of course not post details here), but from what you say, it sounds like we did not think that you were on track to finish, and has some concerns about the design that you selected (we track whether a number of milestones in the game have been reached). It is totally possible that we were wrong. We much prefer to see a working front-end / back-end combination that has missing features than we do just a front-end or just a back-end.

Again, I apologize for your bad experience. I hope we can make the take-home interview better in the future with some tweaks.
I noticed your distinction, but didn't see the relevance at first. With your clarification, I think I understand your point, although I still think this is separate from the current kerfuffle with Canonical.

Mogen and Choudhary address come close to addressing this in a footnote:

4. The phrase "derivative work" is also a term of art in US
copyright law, but is absent from most of the rest of the
world's major copyright systems. The idiosyncratic meaning
of "derivative work" in US copyright law is unrelated to
the use of the term by the kernel developers. This causes
confusion among US copyright lawyers, but the kernel
community's use of the phrase is consistent and clear
notwithstanding.

I don't know that they are correct, but I think they would assert that while a collection of kernel modules bundled as a single download could constitute a "derivative work" under US copyright law, it does not constitute a "derivative work" as defined by the GPL, and thus does not violate the license.

I think you raise a good point, though, and I don't think there is yet any case law covering this. Is it legal to distribute a tar file that contains both GPL and non-GPL files? I'd hope so, and hope that a court would agree, although I fear it would depend on which court and which lawyers are arguing it.
I could use that exact logic to point to many other disingenuous working groups and say Vulkan is an attempt to create a new lock-in scheme under the guise of an open technology.

> I don't think it's possible for the average person to fast in any of the ways suggested here.

I'm quite an average person (or at least I'd like to think so) but for many years I did what that first guy from the article did, i.e. not having breakfast nor lunch, I was eating most of the calories for the day during dinner. Not sure how that has affected my health, at least now I'm back at having breakfast again, but the culture of "three big meals a day" is certainly not the be-all and end-all of nutrition.

I also cannot eat meat before 4 or 5 PM, I can't understand how people can have things like English breakfast so early in the morning. I also love fruits, if it were to me I'd eat fruits all day, every day.

What are you talking about? Facebook is not a "high value target" and "this bug would not cause Facebook much damage"?

For example, if you wanted to monetize it, I have to imagine TMZ (or someone even less scrupulous) would pay a lot of money for dumps of A-list celeb and athlete Facebook accounts.

You don't think Facebook having "The Fappening Part 2" on their hands is worth more than $15k to prevent? Or having every US Government FB account simultaneously posting ISIS propaganda?

The PR for any number of scenarios like those would be an absolute nightmare for Facebook.
Apple said that could sync the data if the AppleID password wasn't changed. Can Apple just revert the AppleID account on their servers to a backup with the old password hash (or however it is stored)? Why wouldn't this work? Has something on the phone changed because of the password change or is Apple unwilling or unable to revert the AppleID account?
Pyston has a goal of full C-API compatibility, unlike PyPy. Dropbox are almost certainly not trying to create the greatest benefit for the community, but rather the greatest benefit for themselves, and they have huge amounts of Python 2 code in production. As such, Python 2.7 with full C-API compatibility makes sense for them to focus on.

In brief I disagree. More the product of determined coalitions and misinformation. Things we can change, regardless.

> There is a tendency for capital to be more valuable than the results of labour,

Ironically I think capital is far less valuable than labor at the moment, partly because valuable labor is far scarcer. I suspect capital's value is being artificially propped up, but I'm not sure of the cause.

This is a good slogan, but there's some subtleties when it comes to HTTP status codes. That is, there are the defined ones, but any number is legit, so you end up with an enum with a member that's basically "anything we don't know about", so it's not as clear-cut as it is in other situations.
>>> exit
Use exit() or Ctrl-D (i.e. EOF) to exit

> You know god damn well what I mean Python, so just do it instead of nitpicking me

Python has no idea that's what you mean.

>>> repr(exit)
'Use exit() or Ctrl-D (i.e. EOF) to exit'

It's just the exit function has a __repr__ that returns that. Why the hell would Python make just 'exit' exit the interpreter? That's unlike anything else in the language.

>>> print 4
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'

This is a special case to help with the transition from 'print' to 'print()'. Should 'i 1' have a message saying a parenthesis is missing? I could mean 'i + 1', or 'i, 1'.
All frames and wheels used in UCI-sanctioned races must pass UCI safety tests. The weight limit was not introduced for safety reasons but as a result of the Lugano Charter, which stated that technological development was inherently antithetical to the sport of cycling.

C.f. the hour record. Until recently, the rules essentially stated "the hour record must be attempted on a replica of Eddy Merckx's bike circa 1972". Rules for the hour record banned streamlined helmets, aero bars, disk wheels and frames with non-round tubing. These rules were introduced directly as a reaction to the battle of engineering an ingenuity between Obree and Boardman.

"so that people understand that some of us actually do make decisions not purely from pragmatic standpoints."

Well I guess you meant in fact:

I typically do better having breakfast, a hearty breakfast allows me to have a light lunch without heavy cravings. I've tried skipping breakfast with mixed results. I've also tried moving my eating period to breakfast & lunch with skipping dinner with some positive results, although it can be tough when I'm with others eating or drinking after work.

I do agree though, that the concept of breakfast being important is bunk. Everyone is different and as these IF studies show, no one meal is all that important.

An hour, I'm fine with. It's less than what I'd schedule for an interview, and far less than I'd schedule for an in person interview (which might include a flight out). On the other side of it, though, I'd be concerned about cheating. It wouldn't be too hard to hire someone to take the test for me, I'd imagine.

The BSD angle is one component of the security. The other is strictly cultural. OS X users aren't in the habit of clicking "Yeah, whatever, just install" on every dialog that pops up in their face. They're used to just dropping the application into your Applications folder and running it, or downloading it from the App Store.

Windows is a wasteland of garbage, of unsigned applications from shady looking sites, where telling the real thing from a malicious fake is often very difficult, even for experienced users.

If you're not familiar with the application in question and just Google for it and download the first match you can get burned very badly. This is generally not the case for OS X since the applications tend to be more tightly curated.

Consider Panic Software, makers of Transmit, which comes signed by the developer, and Filezilla, which generally comes from Sourceforge. The official site for Transmit is well maintained and offers a no-nonsense download link.

For contrast, the official download for Filezilla, an equally popular FTP client for Windows, came with malware bundled in due to SourceForge's bad business decisions. If that isn't a sign of a completely dysfunctional software ecosystem i don't know what is.

In the Windows world people are constantly battling this sort of garbage. In the OS X world malware like this is a shocking anomaly.

Ours are a few years older than that, but you can certainly do outdoor activities with kids, or trade off so one person goes to do something while the other watches the kids.

We used to take our daughter rodelling (sledding) in Austria, for instance. We had lots of fun!

It's certainly more isolated - for some people, that's a big negative. I'm mostly ok with it. Being constantly rained on and seeing gray skies is a far larger drawback.

I've read conflicting information about whether it's truly necessary to consume protein/carbs within 30 minutes of a workout, which I think is the basis of your question. Or whether as long as your overall diet is sufficient, it doesn't matter.

I've been fasting on Mon/Wed, and these are usually the days when I do recovery (i.e. slow) runs. I will run once or twice on these days, with my single meal in between. Typically I'll get up, have coffee (black), work an hour or two, then do a mid-morning run of 6-7 miles (about an hour). I'll have my meal around 1 PM. I then do a second run in the evening of 4-5 miles (about 40 mins).

My "meal" on fasting days is typically a nutribullet shake of spinach, frozen blueberries, banana or apple, cocoa powder (no sugar), unflavored whey protein powder, cashews or almonds, and two tsp of fish oil. My Fitness Pal says its ~ 600 calories, 27g fat, 60g carbs, 34g protein.

I'll have a second black coffee in the afternoon, and a green tea in the evenings.
Your comment does not reflect how vulnerability sales work in the real world.

In the real world, vulnerabilities are sold to blackhat groups who want to make a profit by attacking as many websites as possible. Generally, these websites will have valuable credit card or other information that can be stolen from a compromised server.

Compromised user accounts (not even the server! just users!) on a single website do not constitute a valuable target.

The idea that TMZ would pay a significant amount of money for this is a Hollywood plot, nothing more. Vulnerabilities are not valued highly just because you can come up with a contrived scenario in which it would be valuable to someone for some reason.

This is a market, and like any other market there are buyers and sellers who dictate supply and demand.
I think OS X had a somewhat more secure core than windows historically because of the unix heritage but updates to core packages came in slower than for *nix distributions. from what I recall apple lagged in some of the security upgrades that windows implemented like address space layout randomization and some other techniques because windows had been hit hard with vulnerabilities. There is no good measure of absolute security levels between apple and windows that I am aware of... all the studies I have seen have been somewhat flawed.

I disagree with the money analysis... there's a reason those spam emails from a Nigerian prince contain intentional misspellings; it's to act as a filter to filter out the people that would not fall for the scam so as to not waste the time of the scammer. Higher levels of affluence correlate(not cause of course) with higher levels of education[1] so it's probably a less effective target just on that point alone. I do agree that Ransomware will be a more lucrative form of malware on OS X per 100 machines infected though for your reasoning. More money, more valuable data, more incentive to get the decryption key.

San Diego is awesome. The cost of living is probably 30% less than the bay area (I rent a 4 bedroom single family house for $2495), I live 3 miles from the beach, and there are a fair number of tech companies in the area, focusing primarily on healthcare and defense. And I love the outdoor activity opportunities. Direct flights to SFO are about $140 round trip, or less.
i interviewed there earlier this year and they asked me a question on the piece table. i didn't know what it was called until now but based on that question, they might still use it.

Ask HN: Collaborative json data model design tools?
Title kind of explains it all. I'm looking for essentially a Google Drive for json data modeling that I can use with a team to iterate on API request/responses formats. Would need syntax highlighting, versioning history, maybe comments too?

I think I could use a gist for this, or a whole repo with each one in there as a single .json file, but curious if there are tools out there specifically for this.

Thanks!
I doubt it based on my past experience.

After I changed my iCloud email/password my phone tried to use the old one for months, and I had to escalate the issue high up Apple Support to get it fixed (you can't erase your iPhone without proper iCloud credentials if findmyiphone is enabled).

And actually, that may be a great sign of a healthy, mature community. Python has reached and held a level of maturity at which change happens slowly and methodically.

In fact, Google Trends [1] seems to indicate that, too. After what was probably an initial stomach-drop of broken compatibility, python is picking up a lot of new developers again.

Yes, but why do you think your experience generalizes to anyone else?
I haven't done much research on this, but I thought the secure enclave actually did contain the key in question? I know the secure enclave enforces the 10 tries rule (and the timeout between tries), which suggests that the secure enclave is responsible for destroying the key when the rule is violated.
I actually submitted this 13 hours ago, not 1 hour ago. Take a look at my profile. Curiously, the front page shows 1 hour.

I've built alot of stuff and apart from hash tables, never really needed to understand:

Hash tables
Linked lists
Breadth-first search, depth-first search
Quicksort, merge sort
Binary search

Dynamic programming

I guess it depends if you are going for a job that REQUIRES these techniques then yes it is important, but for web application development - even sophisticated web application development - not needed.
There is no forced cadence. The motor is not fixed at a particular RPM; if the motor were unloaded, it would spin a lot faster than it does. It supplies a certain amount of power, and the bike hits a certain ground speed, and through the gear ratio, that determines the motor's speed.

If you only want to go that fast, then you don't have to crank the pedals, and it's awkward. However, you can crank the pedals to go even faster.

That's the point of using the motor. You + motor is faster than you alone or motor alone. Or: you + motor requires a lot less effort on your part to maintain a certain speed than you alone. Suppose that you can go 30 mph, but with great difficulty and not for very long. Suppose that a given motor by itself can go 20 mph. If you use that motor and your own muscles together, you can go 30 mph with a lot less effort, and sustain it a lot longer. The cranking of your pedals and cadence will be natural; you're cranking 50% faster than what the motor can do by itself. It will be like cycling in the slip-stream of a truck, or down a slight downgrade. To the spectators, you will just look like a strong cyclist.

About the 100W, almost any amount of cheat torque can make the difference between placing N-th and N+1st. Every second counts.

Even a 2.5W power boost could be a game changer. If your muscles put out 250W, 2.5W is 1% more, which is significant. It's about 36 seconds shaved off a one hour haul. The game has changed from a neck-and-neck race to the front runner having a 36 second lead.

A tiny, light-weight motor of just a few watts that would be useless in a commuting bike used by someone who is out of shape and cannot climb hills could nevertheless win trophies for a cheater.

One minute you're racing just beyond your lactate threshold. Flip a concealed switch, and a tiny power boost drops you within your threshold.
I don't think pro cyclists are particularly health conscious. They're performance conscious, which is a very different thing.
OS X inherits nothing from FreeBSD that would prevent a program intentionally executed by the user from encrypting that user's files.

I'm from the US, down here in Melbourne, via Shanghai, via Boston, via NY. Had no idea what a vibrant tech scene they had on my way down. Envato, Fastmail, and Atlassian give the city some cachet.

That's the standard recommendation from sports nutrition texts, and I've certainly found it to be very true for myself. Over many cutting cycles as a strength athlete over the years, I always lost high ratios of muscle:fat during IF-style cuts, and augmenting with protein intake during long breaks between meals has made a tremendous difference despite my advancing age.
Are you talking about light resistance in the bearings?

I think you are (forgive me if I'm wrong), but that doesn't matter. That is not an example of the wheel "doing work". That wheel in the video looked stopped at the end of the crash, and even if it wasn't stopped, the video looks really awkward. Sure, his crash started at 30mph, but ended at 0, and his wheel looks to be firmly placed on the ground, immobile. For sake of understanding though, it'd be interesting to know what power could be stored in a theoretical wheel that could stand in for Ryder's.

Eg. a pair of Mavic Cosmic Carbone Ultimate[0] apparently weight 1185g. The rear will weight a bit more (because hub/drive/gears), although that weight will be at the center of the spin, so I _guess_ not contribute significantly to the velocity of the wheel (angular momentum). So, how many watts are stored in a ~700g wheel that was moving at 30mph? That will determine the ability to do work (like spin a bicycle on the pavement).
