> You have been able to split strings in t-sql forever. The link you are referring to splits a string by a delimiter and returns the result as a table.

Generally ones wants to either extract the Nth element from a delimited string, or convert a delimited string into a table, are you thinking of a different scenario?

Somewhere on an official Microsoft page, there is something to the effect that SQLCLR is "not recommended", which gives your typical DBA a perfect excuse to say "no", with no interest in the particulars of why Microsoft might have written that warning.

If you had 100Mb of data I strongly suspect it'd return too many false positives - the likelihood of a string being in there would be too high. A spellchecker isn't very useful if it knows "Donald Trumo" is a real name.

For reference, the hunspell dictionary file used in apps like Libre Office and Firefox is about 400kb. That's effectively the whole of the English language.
I wonder how much of the efficiency increase comes from simply bypassing photosynthesis (e.g. what is the thermodynamic efficiency of yeast for glucose -> ethanol)?

In any case there are a few important questions re feasibility. Do these bacteria work at atmospheric partial pressures of CO2? Do they perform at the advertised rate at the ~0.0015g/L of hydrogen you'd be lucky to get in solution from his leaf?

Nocera is a blow hard, so pending the full paper I expect the answers aren't encouraging.

That is the whole point of punitive damages though. The big awards are a punishment of the person or company which lose.

Plenty of environmentalists would be happy if an oil company got sued into bankruptcy over a spill.

It's the way of the courts, really.
Sounds like they could optimise the costs by encoding two versions of the video - one without the sound that would play by default, and the other when you click on the actual video.

The CDN invoice probably isn't the smallest of sums you can imagine :).

For some reason I read your entire post in a voice sounding equal parts surprised and annoyed at Facebook not optimizing for the Flashblock add-on.

Are you hitting a different CDN box to me? In Australia, the text under the download box on the front page says "Sublime Text 3, Build 3114, 64 bit". Screenshot is still of v2.

No, because the JVM is more supported, tested, used, and developed for linux.
No, that should be the return value.
Different strokes, I suppose.

Also "understand fully" isn't "can contribute to a sub-problem meaningfully".
5 seconds seems to short unless paired with page/mouse position, I regularly notice that videos will start playing when they are 2/3rds on the page and I'm read or looking at a picture above it only to scroll right past the video as soon as I register it's of no interest to me.
They feature version 3 on homepage now.
Interesting learning streak. I took the same route, started on Vic 20 at the age of 10, but skipped on the amiga assembly, something I suffer from on a daily basis, so good choice.
I only see the option to toggle the quality.
Yeah really, it just means now maybe people will have more options.

You can choose an easy simple not-private way of doing things, or you can do things in a private way.

Being up front about it is 100% the only way to manage this properly so what else can be done?

It's not like we should suddenly not make useful tools because they dont use end to end encryption on everything, not every action needs that level of protection, but some do.
For me, visiting on desktop only allows me to choose between "SD only" and "HD when available". There is no option for "disable autoplay".

This is two private parties slugging it out. The government adjudicates but does not have a specific law that is broken. That is by definition freedom of the press.

The danger is when the government starts setting laws that the press has to follow, or has the power to drag the press through kangaroo courts where the process is the punishment.

When you have an essentially private dispute between parties like this it is interesting but has little relevance to actual freedom of the press. The only issue would be if the government of the day started weighing in on the case.

Very useful features for writing code.
The fact that you need to involve three different departments just to hire someone for a week is a key part of why hiring is so broken these days.
Is there a quick rundown on new features from 2 to 3?
In addition to screenshot of version 2, in an impressive display of consistency :D
From the perspective of a hiring company, say they have 5 final candidates. Suggesting a 1 week placement will not be practical either for most of the candidates (who still have their old job) or for the company (who has real work to do and not 5 weeks of on-boarding). Also to compare candidates they need them trying the same thing, not 5 different things.

I think a few hours discussing code is a small sacrifice for a fairer, more equitable interview process.
Solving that code test in a more effective manner? :)

Plenty of heirs "lose the farm."

The transfer still worked. And people who get success more on their own sometimes lose the farm too (more often, I'd bet - I don't think there are any low risk strategies of getting richer than your parents).

Maintaining and growing wealth are different than receiving and spending.

It's much easier than getting it in the first place, though.
Jesus, it doesn't. So go fork it and change that! It doesn't mean other people aren't free to design their plugin as they see fit.
I would say pretty likely, plugins are Python based and easy to create.
All of them hit work-acquired wealth just as hard as inherited wealth.
laptop chipset

You're talking about Intel video driver issues, I assume? If you can, I'd suggest trying 11.0-ALPHA1 (https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-snapshots/2016-M...) in case there are bugs you can report. It's always difficult with new hardware to get enough people testing before the release to get everything fixed.
What settings do you see on that tab?

For me, I can only change the default quality, there's nothing to configure autoplay behaviour.
It's not open-source, so generally, no.

Packages are in python, and most of those are open-source (and thus available as examples) so extending through packages is probably easy.

Quantify what you mean by "better," please. I'd assume you're still talking about latency (quantify that, too; TTFB? TTLB? Lower median? p95?) but there's an "and" in there, so I'm not sure. RPS? Throughput? Utilization? Fan0 RPM? Revenue?

I might have been kidding at the end there.

Pardon the questions -- I'm suspicious (seems high) but willing to be surprised.
I am not in that field, but have researched into methylation a bit. The way I understood it, is that methylation groups are applied to genes that are to be "muted". Thus, if there are not enough methylation groups available, genes that should not be expressed, are.

Looks like you are putting performance as a top priority for you. Do you think that a good candidate should at least measure cpu time somewhere?

Looks like all the performance related things I'm seeing there are assumptions based on experience.
Intel Broadwell-E Review
हरामी ससुर का बहु संग रोमांस || Harami sasur aur bahu Ka Romance
>>This is quite literally nothing more than the age old 'there cannot be an objective morality without a higher power

Indeed, the argument is quite storied. Since Hume's observation in 1738, it has never been refuted. Following Hume's observation that we are unable to derive morals from observations of Empirical facts, the concept of Moral Nonrealism—that moral statements are merely delusions we told ourselves to help/comfort us—seized humanity and led to a variety of interesting reactions including Surrealism, Dada, Egoism, Existentialism, modern art, postmodernism, et al.

>>[Sam Harris presenting Utilitarianism at TED]

Seen it. Hilarious. Sam Harris has heard of Is-Ought and begins by acknowledging it is the barrier to secular realism. His answer is to pretend it doesn't exist and move on with his talk. See this comment, #99, for more: https://web.archive.org/web/20150302143837/http://www.projec...

>>slavery is fine, rape is fine, beating your wife is fine

Jesus in Matthew 5:21-22 explains that calling someone a 'fool' is equivalent to murder relative to the /actual standard/ so slavery, rape, beating, &c. are going to be hard to explain. For more on this type of perspective you can look into Anabaptist theology.

>>Making a claim about what is good/bad is something we can judge, particularly as society advances.

What is moral doesn't change, or you would have Relativism.

>>Our modern moral code, subjective or objective, is "better"

This society did not spring from a vacuum. Then Wesleyan theologians led Abolitionist efforts; now we "know" slavery is wrong. Like the Personalist Project puts it "Those who repudiate God cannot preserve the personalist affirmation of the incomparable worth of each person, though they may for a time live by the light of a setting sun."

>>We know this. It's undisputed fact that owning people is wrong.

Indeed. This type of knowledge falls under self-evident truth, the same way we know that all men are created equal and are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights. That we universally, inherently are positive about these natural revelations either points to something or they are collective delusions.

>>the question isn't objective or subjective morality.

To believe in objective morality you've departed from the realm of Empiricism. Perhaps you won't and will choose subjective morality but then you'll be unable to provide evidence your whims/wishes aren't disposable opinions.

>>all have fallen short

ha, great reference :)

Concurrent Revisions [1] are even better IMO. Much simpler to reason about. In fact, if you know how to work with git and other distributed SCM tools, then you already understand the model: branch, do your work locally, then deterministic merge.

Just ask them simple questions about their code. "Why did you use a class here? What does this function do?". Or even what motivated them to do the project or what the hardest challenges were. It should be pretty clear whether they're the real deal or not.
Came across this link on here a while ago, curious if anyone has experience with similar interview experiments: http://goo.gl/fDGYhC.
Sites targeting tech-savvy users are more likely to use HTTPS because they know their users will notice it, tech-savvy users are more likely to use ad blockers. More of a correlation than a causation. At least, I assume that's the theory. Seems like the effect would be small at this point though.
Yes, because Jails and ZFS are cool. FreeBSD has superb documentation and a giant software repository.

I did a 2 week stint like this for a small company once, and the setup took maybe 10 minutes.

In a bigger organization it's probably more involved, but if you set out to make it a standard way you interview some developers, I think it's perfectly doable.

I agree that improvising it when a developer asks for it, which is what I think you're describing, would be harder.
The OS is BSD. Everything else is Arc IIRC.
I've seen nginx failures recently, so there might be a nginx reverse proxy hanging out in front of Arc (the whole stack noticeably behind CloudFlare, too, but that's sort of beyond the original question).

That'd be how I'd build it, if I'm right. Doing webby things without nginx is like forgetting pants, to me.
I did it, more or less. I had a software company, now I am a full time musician.

Even movies are too slow now for me and some others I'm around. Rarely am I engaged the whole time. It doesn't matter the genre.

They take too long - just like books - to get a point across.

It's definitely a symptom of the proliferation of smartphones.

I'm not sure it's an entirely bad thing - just a shift in the way we consume media. Short burst rather than long-form.

Long stretches of passive consumption could be argued as harmful just as not being able to concentrate on one long-form piece.
Such a great piece of software. Fast, cross-platform, and extendible. No brainer purchase.
Very appropriate.
My understanding is this is at least partly because of a lack of mac build machines for hydra.
I understand you're joking, but this is important. It's $70. I know that's a lot to some people, but if you're selling your time as a developer it's probably quite a lot less than 1/2 a day at your usual rate. For a tool that will save you many days a year (and increase your bottomline as much), that's really cheap. If you were a designer and needed Adobe's tools you'd be paying much every month.

If you're using Sublime professionally you can afford it. You're choosing not to. That's fine because there are some great free alternatives to use instead, but you have no reason to complain.

This is something I've been waiting for. After years of standby I've been working on Arch OS X again lately (fully operational but currently waiting for trademark approval from the Arch Linux team) and Arch Darwin is something I was contemplating to do for fun at some unspecified timeframe in the future.
How so? HR needs to be in the loop unless I want to take on payroll, contracts, etc. IT needs to be in the loop unless I want to spend my time setting up equipment, which certainly isn't the best use of it. I am most valuable when I am leading my team and doing engineering. Not every company is some five man outfit, and successful five man outfits have to grow up at some point. There are many things to consider when bringing someone on, even a contractor.
The argument isn't to "prove...that morality is objective" or, for that matter, to prove God exists. It is just an observation that "For morality to be Objective, this is the necessary dependency: God".

It's not saying much more. Even when we understand and acknowledge Hume's observation, morality may or may not be Objective, God may or may not exist.

But if God does not exist, morals are not Objective. Just our inventions, along with God and we used both for our comfort/survival/thriving. And what's fascinating is that in such a world, all those times Theists (and Atheist Humanists) proclaimed that humans had value without scientifically-accepted empirical evidence they would not have been acting Immorally/Wrong.
And this is important because existing Sublime Text licenses are only valid for the beta. When 3 exits beta then everyone will have to buy the upgrade.
This cloud thing has gotten really ridiculous lately. I was at the Maker Faire recently and this guy at one of the booths was pontificating on the virtues of their 3D printing platform which ran in the cloud. Finally he finished with, "I'd love to give you a demo but we've been having trouble with the wifi all day." If I was drinking milk it would have shot out my nose.
Car-free zones are pretty common in German cities. My hometown has a really nice and fairly big one with lots of shops, cafes, restaurants, and other businesses.

> I'm tired of companies asking me to code at their interviews. I have 10 years experience

I just saw some code a candidate wrote (offline) who also had nearly this much experience in C#, and who apparently explicitly called out using C#6 and being a C#/.NET expert etc, etc.

Their code was written like it was 10 years old. Used array allocation (rather than collections). Time calculations like Convert.ToDouble(Convert.ToInt32(hourStr)/60)+Convet.ToInt32(minStr). Giant for loops where a simple LINQ query would do. It also failed to solve the problem.

10 years but hasn't learned anything new doesn't count for 10 years experience, in my opinion. That's why even "experienced" developers get coding questions.

(Btw, If the candidate hadn't explicitly called out their supposed expertise their use of old coding style could be overlooked; but since they had this on their resume, it either meant they were completely clueless about it, or simply lying. Either way, not a good start.)
The field isn't going to get trapped in a local minimum with neural nets because the field is too big now. When AI was 20 people each at Stanford, MIT, and CMU, that could happen. With 50,000 people taking machine learning courses, there are enough people for some to focus on optimizing existing technologies without taking away from new ideas.

Riffing off the OP's argument of AI as gradient descent, one could say the 50,000 new people aren't necessarily doing purely random-restart hillclimbing so much as sequential monte carlo, sampling around a distribution laid out by the main pillars of the ML community. That is to say, it should only be robust against weak local minima. Hopefully we should be self-aware enough to know when we're trapped in a strong one, and await a true random-restart.
If you really want people to pay attention, simply factor a few large numbers that are currently believed to be hard: RSA-230, RSA-232, RSA-240 and RSA-250 should do:

I for one actually appreciate coding interviews. Besides, I know my resume isn't a bunch of stuff I made up yesterday, but how are you supposed to know that? I do wish most were done differently though.

A few months ago, I interviewed with a company--the first rounds were remote, and we used an online tool so the interviewer could watch me work problems in an environment with a "compile and run" button, which was great!

Imagine my disappointment, then, when I got to the in-person interview, sat down in a nice conference room with a computer attached to a giant TV and a wireless keyboard, and was handed a pencil and a pad of paper on which to code.

That's clearly something I need more practice with--but why? It's yet another thing I have to be good at to get work, that doesn't make me better at doing the work I get.
