I'm not interested neither in Competitive programming nor in companies who do these kind of interviews, so I can't really give you any advice here. Another advice - just skip over those places. There are tons of companies which don't do this SV-bubble whiteboard stuff.
Well, here's the original Steven's quote.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f99PcP0aFNE

He was mocked more at the time for the email bit, namely the idea that the reason why he didn't get his email for 4 days was because of people streaming videos on the internet.

However, it's not clear that he had a good understanding of the analogy himself (I'm sure that revisionists like Mr. Blow, who do understand how the internet work, can justify it, but it's not Mr. Blow's understanding that we're interested in here, as Mr. Blow is not proposing legislation to block Net Neutrality). In addition to the email bit, he seems to believe that the internet used to be a point to point communication network, whereas now the "industry wisely provided streaming, in effect, a kind of long distance, which is what we've got now". Given this, it's really not clear at all what "it's not a truck, it's a series of tubes" is supposed to clarify.

Now, if Mr. Trudeau was using his understanding of Quantum Computing to justify a large government subsidy of DWave, there would be good cause to look at this throwaway quote in more detail.
Windows ran on DEC Alpha, which was 64-bit (even though Windows wasn't).

x64 is just shorter and it's unambiguous, so it should be preferred.
Microsoft first ported NT to IA-64 (Intel Itanium) and called it IA64. Next 64-bit port was AMD's x86-64 which they called x64. At the time AMD called it AMD64 and Intel started to call it Intel64. The terminology really didn't stabilized at the time to "x86_64".
Dolphins don't make tools. Cephalopods too. It's kind of hard for us to talk to somebody who doesn't make tools and thus has to rely on subsistence.
Do you remove all files from the directory before cloning or have you found some other way to get around "fatal: destination path '.' already exists and is not an empty directory."?
Show HN: surrounded – Simple, challenging HTML5 game
Serious question: have you had to _use_ the Azure portal for anything?

Like much enterprise software, the new side-scrolling mess which hides necessary information has the distinct smell of something that was built to sell on golf courses to clueless middle and upper management, and not for people who actually need to do the work. The load times are horrible because of the number of HTTP requests and the weight of their payloads, making it practically unusable on, say, plane wifi or tethering outside of LTE service.

Practically this might not be the worst thing ever, because it might encourage people to describe their infrastructure as code instead of a pointy-clicky mess, but sadly this still appears to be outside the Microsoft-blessed way to do things - so most never will.
That's a pretty bold statement for not providing any suggestions.
My advice is not to look at the whole but to look at pieces that you can do, make public commitments to doing them and the just do it, don't care at first if it is good or even right, just do it. Then review it (if possible review it publicly with someone you respect and trust) and then adapt it and continue.

You have to commit to starting it and being clear about what else you have on at the time and where this sits it the priority. Classic Scrum, but it works for me (mostly...)
homesick is such a good name though
My experience is that it is much easier to get on the front page of reddit (specifically reddit/r/programming, aka Proggit). As I am writing this, my submission from earlier today there is at number 2 [1] - the same submission to HN got 4 points (which is actually good, but not enough to get to the front page). One reason I think is that the turnover at HN is much higher.

The Huffington Post is a blog aggregator with pretensions of being a news source. I avoid it more strongly than I do the Daily Mail. It's full of woo science and SEO attention grabbers like this (which was republished from last year).
Every time I see a good article on sustainable energy I tweet it to Elon Musk.
- Assess product requirements

- Assess lack of knowledge points

- See how they correlate

- Pick a topic that coresponds to an issue/feature that has to be delivered.

- Prepare a hand-out, email, tutorial

- Use morning meeting to give hand outs that will help them deliver better. Make them ask questions.

This is an obstacle of being a manager. Make your team better, that's where the satisfaction kicks in :)
My guess is OP meant to say AWS vs GCP (Google Cloud Platform) instead of GCE (Google Compute Engine).
I agree. I looked at quite a few dotfile managers, and all of them were overly complicated and couldn't replace my use of stow. Stow was not created as a "dotfiles manager" though, and keeping dotfiles seperate from all the other crud under ~/ is a lot cleaner in my opinion. I don't want my home directory to be a git repo either.

I don't know my offset from UTC offhand.
If you're a C-SPAN junkie like me you look forward with christmas-morning glee to the call-in episodes about drone laws.

There is exactly one type of person who wakes up at 5am to hold the line for 30 minutes to ask a question about drones, and it is (you guessed it) local yokels who are planning to shoot a drone down and looking for permission.

The anti-vaxxers know more science words but the anti-drone crowd is much more entertaining.
Are you talking just about the VMs ? Because if you're talking about the platform, then just the fact that Amazon has Postgresql RDS to take care of your databases is killer.

And if I'm already locked in to AWS for one service...
How US covered up Saudi role in 9/11
People in America, India and China are pushing technology forward. We've gotten GOOG/FB/Uber/Tesla from the US; WeChat/WePay/mobile stuff + Shenzen ecosystem from China; Infosys, Oyo (and hopefully smart cities) from India, etc.

Imagine what we might have gotten from Europe if they weren't held back by bureaucracy, fear of failure, egalitarianism, and whatever else prevents Europe from competing with the valley. (It's certainly not a lack of smart people - see all the Europeans who do well in the Valley.)

It's hard to see how holding Europe back could possibly be beneficial (of course I'm not a mercantilist).
Good story.
You missed a few things though
The assassination my Michael lontoc, manager of red white and blue arms a Makati gun company owned by PLR.

If Netflix is contractually obligated to be xenophobic, it's both their fault for accepting such contracts and fault of those who made such contracts with them (i.e. publishers / content owners). The fact that it's a contract doesn't make it any more moral and it's absurd to think it's an excuse.

You can blame the system all you want, but if they participate - they are part of the system. I.e. they aren't forced to make such moral choice, they voluntarily make it.
I am looking for some feedback on this website from this community of so many like minded founders and experts. Thanks for any advice or help in advance.

I think OP means GCP: Google Cloud Platform. There's GCE, Google Compute Engine, as part of GCP. GCE is also different from another GCP product Container Engine.
A Dark Room
First of all, this is a rather short, non-academic article, not a book, so some generalizations (and catch-phrases) are necessary in order to state any thesis at all. Second, I think you're fixating too much on your disagreement with the author on the use of the word betas. You think she's misusing it and applying it to a different group? Fine. I don't see how her thesis is affected by (what you believe to be) incorrect labeling (I agree with her, BTW[1]).

Broad strokes and catchphrases necessitated by the medium aside[2], I think this is the best article on internet culture I've read in quite some time.

[1]: I think that she (correctly) applies the label as they (or some of them) self-deprecatingly call themselves (in opposition to the jock alphas), rather than as an objective description of "weak(er) followers". She stresses over and over that they don't view themselves as followers regardless of their self-applied label.

[2]: And those limitations are very clear to readers of a high-end magazine like the Baffler.
the 1-click GCE image for spinnaker is estimated to cost ~$200 per month; not much next to payroll but surprisingly beefy.
Have you paid any attention to the news lately? The number 1 and number 2 candidates of the republican and democrat parties are small money candidates that are embarrassing the shit out of both national parties. The GOP golden boy, Jeb Bush, has had to bow out. Even with a $100mm war chest voters still weren't buying it.

The only thing CU has done is put into law what everyone kind of already knew.
That's my read as well. Google has a bit of a hurdle to overcome in explaining their acronyms. AWS has a 10-year head start.
Given that the plane didn't have any trouble landing, and they hit birds all the time, I think that this might show that it's fine to hit a drone so long as it isn't sucked into the engine ;)
I think Steam installs a daemon that watches for game aliases being dragged into the Trash, and then deletes their locally installed content.

Maybe Apple could provide a builtin mechanism in MacOS (as I assume/hope it's about to be called) that watches for a .app bundle being dragged into the Trash, and offers the user a chance to remove any auxiliary files created by that app, and run its uninstallation scripts if any, when the Trash is being emptied?

Of course it will have to be seamless and resistant to developer abuse (or malice) and not make everything too Windows'y.
Perhaps he addressed that comment to someone who seemed to feel they already knew enough to have an opinion on the topic, and meant to imply that you should learn more about this if you intend to have opinions on it
Keep in mind that when you have a dll you are unloading instructions, not data.

Also C++ has unique_ptr that also tracks lifetimes, I don't think Rust would really give you anything you don't already have and I think you are overestimating the fragility. I've done hot reloading of .dll and it isn't really all that fragile. If you have the c runtime as a dynamic .dll the heap won't be tied to the .dll either.
Yes, I learned about this behavior in Introduction to Psychology; ever since I find myself learning more from people's behavior than ever before; after all that is psychology, the study of mental processes and behavior. The article is spot on. . .Overall, I think more emphasis should be put on the aspect of nature and nurture side of science to the application of understanding the people around with inclusion of holistic treatment for individuals; that is if one grew up poor can we than maybe attribute the cause of obesity to the psychological aspect and if they did not grow up poor then maybe we can attribute obesity and over consumption to sedentary lifestyle and relaxed selective pressure and mal-adaptation to the new environment. . . that is thrifty hypothesis. . .
Wow, this was a real eye-opener.

>Thanks to the hardworking Russians and their exploit kits... many businesses already have compromised machines in their network. Almost all of the Fortune 500, with their enormous networks, have a few bots on the inside

I could definitely believe that, having worked at a few, they have massive infrastructure and many users that are extremely relaxed about security in general.

What then struck me was the way he casually decided to hack a VPN (!) is it really so straightforward? And the way he seemed confident about testing his exploit on other compromised machines without detection.

I'm always paranoid every time I type 'last' on my Linux box, wondering if the thing is really compromised and totally lying to me - now I'm even more so!
http://hckrnews.com/ and other sites provide an alternative view of HN posts to combat this issue.
Not sure that is true, the large generators don't use permanent magnets. Old school generators used a small DC motor with permanent magnets to power the field windings. However I think the generators in large wind turbines use an inverter to proved power to the field windings. (So that they can account for small mismatches between the line frequency and shaft speed)
Here's a more detailed article about the device from The Economist: http://www.economist.com/news/science-and-technology/2167761...
Agreed. IAP for additional content is totally cool. Hell, even IAP for things like rare items or what have you are fine with me. We're just starting to toe a line at that point, but we haven't crossed it yet. We cross that line when we bury basic game functionality behind an IAP paywall: paying for "gems" to keep playing, or paying for items necessary to beat certain stages. Now we're in P2W Land, and the clouds above our heads are choked with grime and soot.

IAP done in a player-friendly way won't earn you P2W-level megabucks. But it'll do slightly better for you than a pure pay-once model will.
I moved on to found another startup.
It indeed reads like chauvinistic bullshit, but I think there is a lot of truth in there, especially for small/fast paced companies (like startups or game developers):

* compassionate engineers are most happy when then can do engineering, money is secondary to them

* unexpected bonuses are usually the only way a dev's partner can see that what (s)he is doing has some actual value (though banning someone who worked 80h/week for 2 months from office for a week so (s)he can spend time with the partner is, imho, just as good)

* the 5:1 ratio of "old goats" (or "wise hackers") and youngsters is good, imho. the experienced dev will put in 40h/week and go home unless really necessary, the youngsters have enough energy for 80h/week and are naive enough to think they know everything and will learn a lot by failing (and accomplish a lot by having the naivety/balls to just try things and hack on them until they are "good enough")

* hiring devs with asperger: Sounds evil, but I have some friends with very strong asperger who are remarkable devs and, if given the opportunity, deliver awesome code/solutions and be really happy about it.

* the "useless"/wage slaves: I think this statement is true in fast paced environments - and only there. In big shops those are the folks who keep everything running. But neither startups nor game shops need much maintenance, they need brilliant innovation and the willingness to do the 80h/week.

* the "educated idiot" - yes, I know a smart, well-educated guy who failed google's interview a decade ago because he knew the academically sound answer but not the hacker-style "well, of course, you parallelize like this, then aggregate like - you just need a few thousand of boxes to actually do this". Of course he was right, but if google had listened to guys like him they would never be where they are now.

Overall, the tone of the talk is despicable, but the advise is sound - at least it reflects my own experience pretty well.
To be xenophobic means someone has a fear/hatred of strangers/foreigners.

Racism is prejudice or hostility towards a person's race, colour, language, nationality, or national/ethnic origin.

Access to the Internet is a basic human right - and to block access to the Internet based on nationality is xenophobic and racist.

Blocking Internet access based on nationality is toxic - and should not be tolerated in any form.
A canada goose can weigh from 7-14 lbs, ducks are much smaller (3.5lbs). We test planes against bird strike. However, birds don't have screws and batteries. Even with that, they bring down planes (AWE1549)

There is a reason why airports are very, very careful about the vehicles that drive onto runways - FOD (foreign object damage) is a very real thing with very severe consequences when a plane is on approach and take-off.
Depends on the size and mass of the drone(s) and where they impact the plane (fuselage, window, turbines, etc.)
Hilarious that you blame 4chan. There's hundreds of millions of pageviews every month. Might as well blame AMERICA for school shooters or Islam for terrorists.

Your gut based fear response is uneducated.
If you educate yourself your fear will diminish. I promise.
I'm surprised too. But some people can easily be blind to outrageous xenophobia or other unethical behavior, when it's some "contract" or "copyright law" mess. It's not the first time that I observe it. I guess copyright lobby managed to poison common perception of such issues enough that people ignore them, while in any other similar case they'd be disgusted with such behavior.
Maybe. One never knows. But areas of interest shouldn't overlap either, so friend overlap is less likely.

The bizarre possibility is knowing people online via multiple pairs of pseudonyms ;)
Really hard to tell as we don't know enough about the incident.

We don't know how large the drone was or what part of the aircraft it hit, for example what happens if one of the larger commercial drones gets ingested into the engine.

If you want to an example of what even a bird can do to a plane see this picture - http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2016/03/13/12/3226FEF60000057...

Let's hope the future of closures in all languages (C++ through to JS / lua) is a rich one. The ability to synthesize code at runtime is powerful, but it would be much more powerful if it were better-supported.

The hoops these guys have to go through to get past console data-protection bits is insane.

FinFisher's step-by-step hack of Hacking Team
Yeah, GamerGate is... well to be honest, I don't think anyone supporting or opposing it really knows what it is nowadays, since it's become a catch all term for:

Anyone a journalist or media figure or opposer doesn't like/thinks is being a jerk on the internet.

Those who oppose corruption in gaming journalism.

Those who don't like 'SJW' types trying to censor things or complaining about privilege.

Certain groups of trolls who want to dox people they find stupid or strange, and need a justification for it.

People who oppose various changes made to localised video games.

Conservatives who think gaming and the media has become too liberal.

People who want to become internet celebrities off the controversy.

Many, many gaming websites and Youtube channels that support some parts but not others.

Basically, it's more divided and semi diverse than the rebel groups in Monty Python's Life of Brian.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHHitXxH-us

Either way, it's split across so many websites and seemingly encompasses so many radom groups that it's really all that associated with chan culture any more.
Did you go through Greenlight?
I'd use multiple smaller providers, preferably non-US ones when possible.
So, who's next? :P
I've never got much use out of AWS support for single-server installations, and my natural inclination is just to let things ride or work around them anyway. Once you are committing yourself to SLAs, and you've hired someone a bit shoutier to keep operations running they will suddenly find a lot more things to call up and try to get fixed, or at least get a story on why they went wrong and what we can do to mitigate. As you start to spend the sorts of money where the Enterprise support is economical it gets very useful indeed, with people to call who can actually chase down problems and make things happen.
How about using https://cloud.google.com/storage/ for personal backup (photos, videos, files..)?

It seems much less expensive than paying a fee for a big Google Drive. The bandwidth needed for GCStorage would be minimum (just uploading from time to time)
I don't think you can reasonably make a assessment of "most incompetent prime minister ever" when he's been in office for less than six months.
I work with 40+ partner companies, and they are all using AWS. Moving big data sets around is cheap and super easy. And, it's not been very expensive to process large data sets on AWS. On average, I crunch through 20 TiB for like $50 a pop.

Given that no company that I work with uses Google's cloud, I'm curious who is using it. They're marking hard obviously. Makes me wonder what's an ad and what's not.
I was referring to putting visibility modifier in its own line.

Is there a warehouse where you can order a bunch of portables like you can USB cables off of Amazon? No, prefab doesn't mean prebuilt. And that still doesn't cover funding, staff, and all the various local, state, and federal rules that make a school. Buildings, the US has plenty of.
Another happy stow user reporting in. Helps me a lot in managing my dotfiles across machines, and symlinking has been a huge improvement over rsync. Also, stow raises an error if it cannot symlink to the file (for eg, if a file/directory exists there with the same name somewhere in the path), so it is always non-destructive.
