> Lots of interview processes today deal with culture fit at the end, but should it be item 1 and then coding skill item 2?

Culture fit should be focused on areas of professional interest, general preferred work modes, and possibly professional ethos (e.g. you're a big open source shop, are they an advocate?).

Many interviewers and companies think culture fit applies to non-professional aspects like do they like bicycles, wear the same clothes, like the same music. Unfortunately, this is easily filtered through unconscious and unintentional racial, gender, and age biases because what the interviewer is really doing is determining if the candidate is "like me".

It's the second interpretation that annoys and intimidates candidates and is probably a root cause to much of the diversity issues faced by the tech industry.
We've had several decades of warnings about global warming, yet we've barely done anything about it. Why?
If you work for the site, do you think you could get the it fixed? The social media buttons obscure the text and zoom is disabled for some reason so it's impossible to read.
Exactly. If you need a way to send data across a network, queue it if your partner is unavailable, ideally make sure it works on a large number of platforms out of the box... Email is already there and it works.

I found it interesting Microsoft Garage made an "IM client" that uses email in the backend recently. In some cases, I think all these new protocols we invented was reinventing the wheel, when we already had something that worked fine.

Using it for games is a really neat idea. In a plaintext format, you could even space out things like a Scrabble board, using @ and & symbols for special blanks or such, and one user could be lower case letters, and the other could use capital letters. Dots for normal blanks.

I love simple formats.

Isis getting a nuke is quite far fetched. What is a bigger danger is one of the terrorist groups in Pakistan (which actually has nuclear weapons) getting a nuke. Or India & Pakistan having a nuclear exchange. Or one of the wars in the Middle East leading to Israel or the USA to use the nuclear weapons they have ready there (which they continually threaten). Nuclear war is one of the scariest things we face and could destroy us instantly, it's a small chance but a possibility.

However climate change is definitely already happening and is potentially also devastating for the survival of the species. It could itself ignite a number of conflicts, we have no idea what will happen, but we know it could be very bad.
Probably not that much. What worries me is feedback loops like the melting permafrost, and collapse of the Amazon ecosystem. Or the loss of ice causing more sunlight to be absorbed. Or a sudden overflow of the ocean's ability to store energy (something that has been masking most of the warming so far). Things could run out of our control in a very short amount of time.
I just see this as a headache for developers.

I don't want or need a Linux ABI, I just want to run a Linux container on Windows (if I have to use windows, which I would prefer not to do).

If node running on windows needs access to a database running on the Linux layer then what happens when things aren't working? They can't possibly make all programs interact in a seamless way.

Well, I'm not really sure what to make of that, but this is a pretty common claim in both US and Japanese sources; here's an example: http://theweek.com/articles/453219/everything-need-know-abou...

> Why aren't they getting married?

> There are both cultural and economic barriers. In Japanese tradition, marriage was more about duty than romantic love. Arranged marriages were the norm well into the 1970s, and even into the 1990s most marriages were facilitated by "go-betweens," often the grooms' bosses. Left to their own devices, Japanese men aren't sure how to find wives — and many are shying away from the hunt, because they simply can't afford it. Wages have stagnated since the 1990s, while housing prices have shot up. A young Japanese man has good reason to believe that his standard of living would drop immensely if he had to house and support a wife and children — especially considering that his wife likely wouldn't be working.

I don't think labor should be forced, but data should be accessible. Apple had the keys to use the backdoor, and they should have been forced to choose between using them to sign software, or handing them over and letting the FBI sign it themselves. Apple would prefer to sign it themselves, so they can effectively be forced to do so.

I disagree that they can force the inclusion of a backdoor using the same logic. The reason I think they can compel action is that the real thing they want from Apple is information, I.e. the key. Apple can get out of revealing the key by using it themselves.
I guess it's kind of a semantic argument. I stand corrected. It seems the culture accepts "cognitive" in AI according to the wikipedia link you provided. Although, I question the degree to which the use of "cognitive" in marketing materials contributed to this acceptance.

On the topic of "processing," it's very difficult (sometimes impossible) to know what humans or nonhumans are doing covertly when they "process" stimuli. Thus, I'm not sure how you can determine that "they [animals] categorize differently than us."

A dog that is trained to sit when his owner says, "sit" must be "processing human language" when the dog sits. Right? I know this is an oversimplified example, but I'm just making a point that calling things "cognitive" and referring to "processing" doesn't help explain what is really happening. Sometimes these terms obscure a description/explanation. Skinner [0] makes this point a lot better than me.

I have had the exact same experience. I will get comments like, "That's the best submission we've seen for that take-home test" followed by literally no response of any kind after that. I've had places say, "you are absolutely perfect for our needs on Team X and you will help us meet our deadlines by the end of the year" and then make a job offer with a salary less than 80% of my current salary, worse equity, and worse benefits.

"If you don't give permission the action is not taken. Granted I am currently getting spammed to update my home computer from win 7 to 10 but it hasn't force installed on me. Likewise for automatic updates."

You only answered to the first point and still why would anyone change to machine where you either have to do crazy hackarounds and avoid critical updates in the future or become a slave?

"Which is what this new initiative is trying to fix."

Bringing a single tool to current version of Windows has nothing to do with the fact that they can still go down the Windows 8 road in the next version.
It's going to be a lot worse than this. Time to get realistic about the fact that the balance of the natural environment has been broken, and it will definitely lead to a collapse of the global ecosystem in a couple years. This problem is not being caused by CO2 alone. That's only a tiny part of it. There will be massive tectonic activity. Global warming is only the first step. It's like when a human gets a fever. 1°C of global temp increase is a huge amount of heat but does not show terribly dangerous symptoms. But 2 - 3°C increase means massive upheaval and risk of brain death. To solve this problem, we need to be looking into gravity, not just radiative transfer/greenhouse gasses.

But perhaps a bigger problem than nobody knowing about the gravity problem is that at this stage, nobody wants to know, either. For that reason, nobody can prevent the coming period of change.

From what I understand, a carbon tax is one of the most immediate and effective things we could do to combat climate change. If I understand the Macroeconomics correctly, the supply side shouldn't feel too much of a hit. Low-income consumers could maybe write off the carbon tax. I.e., the revenue from the tax could either go towards infrastructure spending, or it could go back to people in the form of a tax offset somewhere else.

Imagine if the money pouring into the American political process right now was channeled into electing Congressional leaders who, you know, believe in science. Or if some of the grassroots dollars being burned on TV ads for candidates A, B and C could be spent on a campaign to convince the public that a carbon tax would be good for us.

Do note that the sea ice extent has little to do with what the ice sheets are doing. From what I last heard (my information might be out of date), the slight increase in sea ice extent in the south pole could be due to changes in winds or ocean currents in the southern ocean.
Or perhaps it's because people don't trust that the government is interested in protecting them. If a private company uses the information it has on you maliciously at least you have some recourse - a competitor, or the justice system.

On the other hand, even tho the code submitted is of high quality and good, it may have negative social effects on the projects: the feature may be out of the scope, the project owner(s) might want to make sure that the author of the patch will be there to support it because they don't have the expertise, etc. For example if I was maintaining a web server and you submitted a default mime.types file, I'd hesistate to take the patch if you said you wouldn't be able to support it, because I know nothing of MIME (sorry for the silly example).

Article simply counts when the All Writs Act has been used to make a request of Google and Apple, not focusing on what that help was, and thus, isn't terribly informative.

For example, when Apple turned over the iCloud data for the San Bernardino iPhone, I don't know if that was under the All Writs Act or not, but Apple claimed no problem with doing so. If Google did similar (or, in the one case this article details, reset a password), that's completely compatible with Apple's recent stance.

I switched to Mac for my personal development in 2001 but still used Windows at work. I have found over the last couple years that I have been migrating back to Windows for quite a few things. For me personally, I find the UI in Windows to be more productive and faster. The features Apple has been adding are not things I'm very interested in and I haven't been using my 2009 MBP for much anymore except syncing with my iPhone. A number of Linux VM's are always around for development work and if I can do it all now in Windows, I'm all in.

I've been holding off buying a new laptop and, if this new feature works as advertised I will not be buying Apple.

Haven't had malware in years. Vista and Windows 8? Advertisements? Future shit and other awfulness you can't remember? Yeah those really sound like valid points.
I do not doubt that the climate is changing nor I doubt that humans play a large factor in that. Yet I cannot gather the will to be afraid. It is true that we haven't faced this challenge from a prevention standpoint, at least not beyond small mitigations, but when has humanity embraced prevention from the start? We usually leave that as a lesson for the second time...

Climate change will stress our civilization and we will deal with that stress, becoming more capable and sophisticated in the process. Well that, or we will die. But that has been the deal since the start. Lets stay awake people, there will be lots of adapting to do!
Lobbying is just telling a representative your views, which is how democracy works. What I assume you mean is giving campaign contributions in exchange for influence, which is bribery and is illegal if you can prove quid pro quo.

Corporate lobbying is questionable for other reasons, but it's not bribery. It's on elected officials to not let businesses influence them too much, no matter how many lobbyists they hire.
>Getting 38 job interviews is very much a sign of the times.

I've noticed that many employers have copied google and have stated to interview with as many people as possible. Lots of them take pride in their acceptance ratio, some even advertising that on their careers page. Def a sign of times but might not in a way that you are suggesting.

Getting an interview is not all that hard these days, you can get an interview with google/facebook ect pretty easily.
Water is also essential for life, still you can drown. Yes, we had higher levels of CO2 in geological times of the earths past. The problem is, we are changing the CO2 content at a rate where ecological systems might not be able to cope with it. Also, even if the ecological systems do not collapse, just flooding of the inhabited costal regions would create enough human suffering to justify strong countermeasures against raising CO2.
Your mistake is in assuming we're simply optimizing for volume and nothing else.

Factor in each of size, cost, and deployment complexity, and it's clear many feel that inflatable structures represent huge potential wins.

Besides, it's not like you actually need to build single, huge volumes. Space-based habitats built of multiple, smaller linked structures makes more sense, anyway, as it enables module isolation in case of failure.

Git repos change way more often than domain or company names do. Moving from code.google.com to github.com, moving a project from a user to an org, transferring across orgs, renaming an org.

That makes me wonder whether Safari extensions can access iCloud Tabs. If so, it'd really come in handy to be able to do things like "move all these tabs from this device to this device". I accumulate tons of tabs on my mobile devices that I'd like to move to my Mac (or vice-versa, depending on circumstance) so I could just crank through them all at once.

[Edit: A brief look makes it appear that native OS X apps can, not sure about Safari extensions. But a native app could be sufficient.]
In your own lifetime it does make more sense to worry about those short term things - in comparison to climate change, the inequity / unemployment / economy change very quickly.
