About to graduate from a Masters program in CS, Physics BS. I want to work for a company at an entry level to get used to their stack and way of doing things. I like the MEAN stack! I am especially interested in work in NYC/SF/DC

"only in specific circumstances do you know the company that your interviewer is associated with"

Currently interviewing.io is setting up and testing system, where engineers who did well at the practice interviews can choose companies to have anonymous interview with.
Can I use the generics introduced with the new type annotations in Python 3.5, so I can refer to Sequence[str] or something like that?
"Invented the computer" is a strong assertion. I rather like Walter Isaacson's history on "The Innovators", where he talks about the parallel creations of Zuse and other inventors, to show that things are not as black-and-white; that the "inventor of the computer" depends on a murky definition of what a "computer" is, and what the final act of creating it is.

It's more likely that we should attribute the invention of the computer to a collective group of individuals; some that advanced the notion of what a computer should work a little bit, some that advanced a lot, and some that had good ideas that didn't go anywhere at the time.
Isn't a core tenant of DevOps that your developers are the ones doing the Ops too? I keep hearing things like "Hiring DevOps" or "According to the Stack Overflow survey there is 1 DevOps for every 30 developers.", and that feels like... an Ops role, right?

>Is there any evidence that criminals conduct more criminal activity during their prison sentence than the general populace?

The point is rather moot, considering that one of the main purposes of incarceration is incapacitation (effect of a sentence in positively preventing, rather than merely deterring, future offending).

I.e. you cannot steal, rob or kill because being monitored in prison prevents you from doing so. Lack of evidence therefore wouldn't make much of a justification for removing such monitoring because it could be argued just to show that the monitoring works.

However, without digging into statistics I would expect that there is more crime in prisons than outside (not because incapacitation wouldn't work at all, but because offenders are concentrated in prison).

There is substantial violence in prisons between inmates. (Not only in the US but everywhere).
When I saw the post with this number in it the other day, I had a similar thought! "Man, they're that well-known and they still aren't profitable... Will I ever be?"

I know most startups aren't "crushing it", but it's nice to commiserate and know that publicity and openness are not proxies for success. Really the only proxy for that is an awesome product that people love. (which baremetrics has!)

Mmmm I think it's the opposite: On more animals using the same static air balloons, less Oxygen will be there.
It's an analogy.

The weirdness of QM comes from the following, slightly more complicated, situation.

You have two cards, a red one and a blue one. You also have two envelopes. Without looking at anything, you put one card in each envelope. You label them, and send one each to Alice and Bob.

Now, we know for sure that when Alice opens her envelope and looks at the card, we immediately know which card Bob has. There is no information being exchanged, so Alice knows what card Bob has immediately when she opens her envelope.

The weirdness of QM comes from looking at the intermediate states. i.e. the states before Alice opens her envelope. There are (waving wands) ways to tell what the intermediate states could be, by varying certain (QM) magical properties of the experiment.

The weirdness of QM is this. Every single idea you have about the intermediate state is wrong.

What do I mean by that?

You could say there are "hidden variables". i.e. one envelope "really has" a red card in it, and the other envelope "really has" a blue card in it. This interpretation is wrong.

Every experiment shows that the envelopes are in a "superposition" of states. That is, the envelopes don't contain either a red card or a blue card. They carry... something... that is maybe red and maybe blue.

That seems strange, but OK. What happens when Alice opens her envelope?

When Alice opens her envelope, the card which is "maybe blue, maybe red" suddenly becomes either 100% blue, or 100% red.

The weird part is the next step.

When Alice opens her envelope, Bob's card immediately becomes the opposite color. This happens no matter how far away Bob is from Alice.

So is information traveling faster than the speed of light? No. We knew Alice's card was red or blue, so Bob's card must have been blue or red. Lo and behold, Bob's card turns out to be one of those colors.

And yes, Bob's card really is in an indeterminate state prior to Alice opening her envelope. And once Alice opens her envelope, Bob's card really is 100% either red or blue.

The confusion comes from what is really happening behind the scenes. i.e. What is the real explanation?

The current QM research shows that the answer is "Uh... right... we're not actually sure."

Somehow the two cards are connected (QM people say "entangled"), because when you look at one, the other immediately "decides" (?) what color it is. But there's no information being passed between the cards. There's nothing exchanged between the cards. Yet somehow Bob's card "knows" that Alice has looked at her card.

This is profoundly strange and confusing. No one has any idea what's going on. Physicists have many theories, but it's difficult to either prove or disprove most of them. That takes time, money, expertise, etc.

So we're left with "QM is strange". As Richard Feynman said, "QM is not only stranger than you can imagine, it's stranger than you can possibly imagine."

I think you misunderstood his question. I have the same problem.

How do you get from this line:

(A1Y and B2Y and B3Y) or (A1Y and A2Y and B3Y)

to this

(A1Y and B2Y) or (A2Y and B3Y)

BrandonSmithJ just did some replacement to make it easier to read. Maybe he shouldn't have used the same letters to avoid confusion.

Let's write it differently: Why are these terms equivalent?

(u && v && w) || (u && x && w)
(u && v) || (x && w)
While that's an interesting (and somewhat concerning) result, it doesn't go as far as this case.

Heien was about meeting 4th Amendment probable cause standards to prosecute a different crime. This is about ticketing people over the non-criminal act out of ignorance. It's like if Heien had been fined over the brake lights even though they were legal.

As is, the NYC statue of limitations will strip most of these people of the right to contest tickets that were given for non-crimes.
Only 10 percent of 17- to 24-year-olds have a college or advanced degree

I get that they're trying to capture the demographic of recent high school grads, but pushing it to something like 21-27 would give more realistic figures, and avoid conflating the figure too much with current college students.
Like many words, "legendary" has multiple meanings, and the correct one needs to be inferred from context. A dictionary can help if something, like this, doesn't makes sense. For example, http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/legendary says:

> 1: of, relating to, or characteristic of legend or a legend

> 2: well-known, famous

It seems you only knew of the first definition, when the article uses the second.

But it's not a compatible API. At that point, I have a second library and everyone has to rewrite their code to use it. This defeats one of the main benefits of having libraries in the first place.

The benefit of a library, fundamentally, is that any library with a compatible interface (described by the API) can be dropped in and used in place of another library without modification to the calling code. Cloning functionality is not the same thing if we have to put a prefix: thrawaykf05s_leftPad or Jtsummers_leftPad in front of everything.

In theory, as a developer using dynamically linked libraries, I can drop in any version of a library without recompiling. As a user that means you can drop in AMD's OpenGL implementation or a GPL implementation or Nvidia's and see no difference in how you launch your program (though you'd see a difference in performance and perhaps behavior).

(OpenGL isn't a great example because the consortium running it won't do this, but it is a great example because there are many implementations.)

Now, as a developer you have to develop 100 code paths to handle each potential OpenGL implementation. Or maybe some nice person does that for you with a wrapper library. But now that wrapper library API is also copyrighted and it's out of date. So another API comes into existence that wraps it AND adds new APIs to its backend. That'd be really fucking stupid.
"Even so, the economic recovery has progressed more slowly for young high school graduates than for those coming out of college."

I'd imagine this has something to do with the job pool coming out of the recession being heavily seeded with people who already have degrees or degrees plus working experience. Economy takes a nosedive, people get laid off- so when the economy is on the upswing, those with degrees and working experience will be the first to get hired again. I'd be curious about pre-recession numbers of high school grad employment vs. now, post-recession.

"He added that vocational schools should no longer be thought of as dead ends, since they can serve as steppingstones to associate degrees at community colleges or to enrollment at four-year institutions."

I also think it's a tremendous disadvantage to say "Oh yeah, vocational school can get to you an associate's or a college degree" because at some point we have GOT to stop acting like a college degree is the be-all-end-all. We cannot keep protesting against the tremendous student loan debt burden that's creeping ever bigger on the one hand while touting college degrees as being the ONLY way to get a high-paying "respectable" job. Not to mention there are a shitton of services out there that you don't need a college degree for that are for jobs which are highly skilled and that pay well. There's always going to be a need for welders, plumbers, electricians, mechanics, crane operators, etc etc etc. These are jobs that are absolutely necessary for society to function as a whole- and I think it's really dumb how at some point these jobs were downgraded to being for "dumb people" or people who weren't "rich or smart enough" to go to college.
Are there any reasons not to make an i2p-darkweb-site with dark-web torrents?
Originally yes, it was about being more cross functional instead of separate silo's.

However operations people had an issue with that(not in a bad way, just observing where stuff is going), and decided to obtain devops skills. So you ended up with pure devops people.

A lot the first devops people were developers, who also knew about infrastructure issues and been in those roles. They were fairly rare.
Exactly, not a single link to the site. Had to google and find: Here it is just in case: https://arxiv.org/
If you do erasure, then you can't also have the level of platform integration Scala has on the JVM: Scala on .NET either ends up as a different-but-similar language that isn't 100% compatible with Scala-on-JVM on a language level (as well the library differences), or its a second-class citizen that doesn't integrate well with the .NET platform, in which case, why have it?

So, in a sense, no on cared -- because neither of the available options was anything anyone wanted.

I'm inclined to think that university departments are really sets of social norms: agreements about what the canonical texts are, ideas about what methods and tools should be used, and, of course, the kinds of phenomena they study. Among other things.

So it's hard turn up at the philosophy department and insist they start teaching Indian philosophy because no one there will really know about it. It's not the intellectual project the staff at the department have elected to study. You could, and I think should, nudge them to broaden their cultural horizons where possible. Links with other cultures should absolutely be explored. (This is a lovely short podcast on Hume and this possibility he was responding to Buddhist thought - http://philosophybites.com/2013/09/alison-gopnik-on-hume-and...)

At the same time, philosophy departments have a problem because - at least for analytic philosophy - it's a huge hierarchy of interlocking thoughts that you can only access by learning a large body of fundamentals. So any attempt to broaden the curriculum will necessarily prevent students getting to many of the most interesting ideas within the discipline. Especially because such a wide variety of though is colloquially designated philosophy. What is the connection between the Bhagavad Gita and Russell and Whitehead? Students would end up knowing virtually nothing about everything.

As for gender equality in philosophy departments - that's a whole other issue. Of course they should strive for gender equality. But they can't stop teaching the thoughts of dead white men to achieve it any more than the physics department ought to stop teaching Newton to increase diversity. You can't ask a whole subject area to radically shift it's focus to ensure balanced demographics in the students taking it. That's not fair to anyone.

Nevermind, I think it makes sense to me now.

The following statement is true, correct?

Even though the probability that Alice and Bob's chance of both answering yes varies, the individual chance that either of them answers yes without any other information does not change.
Talking to relatives who can't find jobs, "How many jobs did you apply for today?" and the reply is inevitably "well, none".

How are you expecting to find a job when you don't apply? I applied for five to ten jobs a day when I got out of trade school. I was unemployed so I certainly had the time. It took almost six months to get someone to take a chance on me.

The trick to getting a good job without a degree is to get someone, anyone, to take a chance on you. You will be underpaid until you prove yourself but it will cost you less than a degree in the long run.

He's not wrong about the car. Apple filed a patent in October for MONITORING A MOBILE DEVICE EN ROUTE TO DESTINATION (20160112837) along with a handful of other image processing/camera related patents.

So maybe they are developing a car, maybe they are just amping up their IP for the impending shift of tides. However, MacRumors mentions an electric car possibility: Project Titan http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-car/ so a physical product makes sense.

They are not equivalent. The former term logically implies the latter term. That means the set of situations described by the former term is a subset of the situations described by the latter term. That means the probability of the former set should be less or equal than the probability of the latter set.

Good science makes good predictions and often leads to useful tech. There's an obvious external arbiter of quality. Same goes for math, where more or less everyone has agreed on ZFC.

Good philosophy... is whatever other philosophers decide is good. No external arbiter of quality. Lots of disagreement about foundational assumptions (certainly nothing like the agreement we have in math).

This looks like a very clear-cut case of rent-seeking by an insular cultural institution.
"Probing just 30% of the top prefixes is likely not enough for their use case. Probing is also an after the fact approach. Fastly needs a solution which will give best possible path from first packet."

That's not how BGP works. There's no such thing as getting the best path from the first packet in terms of latency. There's nothing in BGP that tell you about the path in terms of latency or performance. The only "best" that BGP gives you is AS path length between you and the destination. It tells you nothing about congestion/packet loss upstream. The only way to get that is out of band probing, like taking latency measurements and pref'ing routes. There is no approach beyond "after the fact"

There is nothing in this article that talks about optimization of routes.

Or maybe Instagram has an automated system which correlated hashtags with reported porn. Tags with greater than X% reported porn get banned.

If that's true (and we have no reason to think it is or isn't true), then the banned tags come out simply because the #bi, etc. people happen to use those tags more for porn than (presumably) #straight people.

I'm wary of waving the racism / sexism / whatism flag. We're not all racist. We're not all sexist.
I don't think the term is well-defined. At first, it was about liaising between developers and operations. These days it seems to be about infrastructure-as-code like Chef.
I'm really surprised that more companies aren't open about their intangibles that set them apart. Why can't I search for jobs based on location, dress code, office layout?

When it comes to internal line of business apps, let's face it, most of the work is the same. It's the individuals that you'll be working with + aforementioned intangibles that differentiate.
