Generally speaking, this is a turn off for me, because I want to see proportional investment by the employer in the hiring process.

If I have to spend two hours doing made-up homework for you before you will even talk to me, I expect that you will then spend an equivalent amount of effort proving to me that your company is somewhere that I would like to work. If you are not willing to invest that amount of time, the whole point of the interview is to reach an arrangement wherein I give you time and you give me money, so you could pay me for those 2 hours instead.

While I don't necessarily walk away from interviews that turn me off, every warning flag does add to the minimum offer amount I would be willing to accept from the employer. If you don't treat me with professional courtesy and respect during the interview, I am silently adding numbers in my head. If you act like I am the one wasting your time, I am probably adding $20000/year to my salary expectations.

I would much rather moonlight for a few hours every week, while getting paid to do actual work, than spend even one hour doing a stupid toy homework problem that ends up being a great signal for the employer and a very poor one for me. It isn't a matter of whether the pay is significant for me, but whether the employer is making and demonstrating an effort to make the process an exchange between equals rather than a superior-inferior relationship.

Are you fucking kidding me? What am I going to tell my current employer while I "audition" for the mere possibility of a next job?

Most working adults in the US don't even get three to eight weeks of discretionary vacation that they aren't already using to spend time with family or, you know, recharge after working the salt mines for meager scraps.

This is the wrong approach for anyone except - maybe - very junior candidates. Fresh out of college, zero responsibility, wide open prospects. Those people could actually use 3-8 weeks of paid auditioning. Those of us who have families simply can not afford to do this.

I can't guarantee that I can reproduce it, but I have been able to get a nice Eclipse dark theme that includes the scroll bars (on Windows).

I'm starting to use IntelliJ for other reasons though - double-shift is one of my favorites as well.
That depends a lot on what you mean by "complex". If your problem naturally and profitably decomposes into a pipeline of smaller, simple subproblems, Go can still be pretty nice to work with.

I wrote a (bad) compiler in it, and Go wasn't really any of the trouble I had with it.

Deep Learning Benchmarks
I got one for the sole purpose of access to the amazon instance library for my daughter since it wasn't an android offering at the moment.

I tried to use it as an android tablet, I was able to come up with most of the apps needed but in the end it was little things like lack of configuration that just made it useless to me. Not being able to change the keyboard and such.

Now it's only used by my daughter for content and solarium mobile.
The non-standard default keyboard shortcuts bug me as well, but on the plus side they can be rebound.

The thing that frustrates me most in IntelliJ is that all of the dialog windows are modal for no apparent reason. Why can't I focus the main window or at least interact with it to change tabs, select text, etc when I have dialogs open?

"Find in Path" is a particularly obnoxious example: it's fairly common that I want to search for a string fragment, so I open the search dialog and set up my search context, then try to select text to copy as the search term, but I can't, so I have to start over.

I want to be able to interact with the editor at all times, though I could see locking it during complicated refactors to keep me from changing code while the IDE is trying to change it too (only while a progress bar dialog is visible).

Modal windows should be the exception, not the rule.

---

To be clear I love IntelliJ. While I prefer simpler editors in many situations, I can't see myself going back to anything else for medium-to-large JVM projects (Scala especially). The modal niggle and a few other minor usability issues are small blemishes on an otherwise great IDE.

Congrats on your twins! ...my condolences regarding your free/down time.
Steam has a defacto monopoly for gaming on Windows and there are over 2000 games for Linux on Steam. So Microsoft would be foolish to try and restrict games to their own app store. That would be the end of Windows as a gaming platform. And given Microsoft's past efforts failing miserably it's unlikely whatever they come up with this time can win on its own.
Maybe this was intended as a joke, but the sad truth is that more often that not, sometimes people consider this option. I myself came relatively close to committing suicide, but was pulled out of this vicious cycle by a friend.

A lot of people develop this depression this way, or they became this way because of depression. It's concerning that people often underestimate depression and consider it a synonym for sadness or melancholy. Depression is—for the sake of simplification—an emotional and mental cancer.
The only thing I don't like about IntelliJ vs Eclipse is unit testing. Because Eclipse eagerly compiles everything with its special compiler it seems to have a much faster startup time for unit tests. In fact with Eclipse I use JUnit as a Java repl because you can test a single method. Also I hate how I can't configure IntelliJ's gutter size. It feels massive. Other than that IntelliJ is far superior.

As for dark theme and theming Intellij/Eclipse both have their quarks (Eclipse being far more quirky).

Here is a screenshot of a personal port of the Atom One Dark theme (I love that theme) to both IntelliJ and Eclipse (left and right respectively): http://imgur.com/Myo4KxM

I had to Google for it and I don't have the story right.

Claudia Goldin was one of the authors of this study:
https://www.aeaweb.org/articles.php?doi=10.1257/aer.90.4.715

She was able to attribute 25% of the increase in hiring of women by orchestras was due to the blind auditions. She also found that there was an explosion of auditions when orchestras adopted the blind format.

So it had an effect, just not as large as I thought.

I like there's absolute no fees when using the debit card abroad and you get the exchange rate 'at cost'. There's a building society that does this but it needs 5k or 500 a month in deposits

I heard about them when they were applying for their license and just felt lots of people would find it appealing. While it is making less money they save a lot too.

It would be acceptable if the results of the project were sufficient to make a hire/no-hire decision.

If I do one two hour project, and either get an offer letter or polite refusal in response, I'd do it in a heartbeat. But no one does that. They would be fools if they did.

Publishing a new idea (by Ralph C. Merkle)
Hopefully stronger push for Linux gaming will prevent this kind of thing.
He did say it was something they could do in their off time, so they could still keep their old job while they worked on it, and they'd get paid for their time too. I think that's why it's 3-8 weeks, because some people have more time to work on it and some people less.

I don't think it's great necessarily, and certainly not great for everyone (some people really have very little free time outside of work, kids, and other responsibilities) but I also don't think that's bad. I actually wouldn't mind the side income from such an endeavor right now.

There is also the potential legal problem of people working under contracts that don't let them do side work, which is also a legitimate argument against this approach.

Wouldn't quite discount the markdown as some mere accounting formality. While I agree that markdowns, in many cases, are not indicative of fundamental company performance issues, they are clearly indicative of changing market sentiment (i.e. contraction of valuation multiples). Look, these are all clearly viewed as close to IPOs (otherwise, mutual funds would have no business investing in them), and it is only natural that they dip a bit when the overall market dips a bit (NASDAQ was recently ~20% off the highs in July last year). If you look at high quality public comps (e.g. WDAY), they are still ~20% off the highs, so it makes sense that private "unicorns" are marked down just about the same amount. Basically, these mutual fund valuations are as close as you get to how public markets would value these companies, simply because these mutual funds will be the top holders and buyers when the companies hit IPO.
Disclaimer: I've played with toy deferred renderer a bit, not a graphics guy.

This not about "traditional" deferred rendering, but textureless deferring rendering. No textures, surface normals, material information or other data typical to deferred renderers is baked in the per pixel MRT buffers. Just barycentric coordinates and a "pointer" to the geometry and material data.

In this technique, and texturing (unlike in traditional deferred rendering) is only done at the final texturing and lighting pass (or passes). Thus no texturing or lighting will ever need to be done for occluded objects.

Textureless deferred rendering technique can get away with rendering significantly less and with a tiny 64-bit (8 bytes) per pixel buffer. Only 2x 16 bits for barycentric coordinates and triangle + instance id stored in 32 bits -- as a memory pointer or with some type of packing, like 16 bits for both.

This saves a lot of buffer memory (2-4x), computation (each screen pixel is lit and textured just once) and memory bandwidth.

Traditional deferred rendering is used so that lighting and material calculations (fragment shader) needs to be done just once per rendered screen pixel. It requires a huge buffer, usually either 16 or 32 bytes per each screen space pixel. Or in other words, 128/256 bits.

Deferred renderers bake texturing in the pre-lighting passes as well as information about material, surface normal, etc., which the final lighting pass will use. That's why they have to store so much per pixel data. Just 16-bit per component RGB alone is 8 bytes. That's why they're limited to relatively small number of materials (or at least parameters for them), because the final lighting step fragment shader must get all of the lighting related data from the per pixel buffer.
That was my interpretation as well, but not as an active OSMer.

Indeed, it's the only option that will remain really. And luckily things are improving for Linux gaming now.
iOS always include hardware accelerated components for various tasks, for example voice, video encoding are super fast on iOS and super slow on high end androids. Androids traditionally doesn't have any hardware acceleration modules.
You're reaching way too far into it. I don't understand the mentality from peers in similar life situations as me that are "so busy they barely sleep". To me that just means bad time management, because no matter how busy you are (all assuming you have free will, it's your will to be busy) you still have room for great sleep every night. "I barely get any sleep" becomes a substitute to reap the gratification from peers as if you actually accomplished something.
> Why should people lose their individual rights simply because they cooperate?

They don't. Individuals can continue to donate to campaigns. Corporations, on the other hand, should be limited in their ability to fund election campaigns, directly or indirectly. Their money is large and tends to be wielded by a small number of people. This subverts the original intention of our democratic republic.

The iPhone itself
He does go on to say that it's 10-20 hours per week that they can do on nights and weekends for which they are paid. That said, I don't really disagree with your basic point. Under the appropriate circumstances, some limited paid contract work can make sense. For example, for an industry analyst job, we used to ask for writing samples. In retrospect, asking them to write something on a specific topic (and paying for them to do so), might have been a good approach. But 100+ hours of audition does seem awfully high to me.

Assuming this is a serious question it is because working for yourself is not that easy. It requires sales and marketing to get your value out there to the people that are willing to pay for it.

Working for someone else is easy because there is an established system to connect you to the people that are willing to pay for your value. That channel doesn't exist for everyone, especially people with skills in areas that do not commonly hire contractors, like IT.

It's amazing that you'd go through all sorts of hand-wringing to supposedly eliminate (or at least claim to feel bad about) bias, and then put people through a mandatory process to basically go back to square one. You're implicitly excluding mid career employees with actual obligations, single mothers, people with obligations outside of work, and people who work for companies with contracts that assert copyright for work performed outside of work.

If anyone asked me to do an "audition" contract job on nights and weekends, screwing up my family life and my professional job that I'm still obliged to perform, I would laugh heartily before hanging up. Even in a unemployment situation, I'd get stuck with a more complicated tax return, and be faced with a future of similarly douchey behaviors to follow.

This is one of those examples where a totally well intentioned move is completely misunderstood.

What is the purpose of an interview? To see if someone's a good fit and works well with you. Interviews don't tell you that. Working with the people fixes that.

At least these are paid contracts. It's one thing if they were unpaid, then sure, yes it sucks. But it's the equivalent of doing a freelance gig for a couple of weeks to see not only if they like you, but if YOU like working at that company.

You can evaluate working at a company, get paid to do it, and find out all the pitfalls BEFORE you leave your existing job. What could possibly be so damn disgusting to you about this?

Manage Flow: In Search of Flow Efficiency (2014) [video]
I totally agree with your view (the system is built/exists to serve the people).

But the supply of jobs must not be void of meaningful/useful jobs; and the State/system is very, very unqualified to create such jobs - it tends to build on the jobs necessary to self-sustain (on the practical and political planes), and not much more.

Most qualified to create those new jobs/missing chairs are the people, on their own, or through the business they build. Then the (clever) support of the state or of big players is required to make those grow in their turn.

You may demand something out of a system. Which can self declare "everyone ought to get a job". But the system on its own is not capable of providing.

Note. I'm heavily biased. I'm French, living in France. And I am beyond amazed how this country is run on the economics level.
