> It is almost a cliche but my friends who moved to LA truly do miss the seasons, especially leaves changing colors.

I lived in Orlando for eight years and suffered the same thing. At least, I think I lived there for eight years. It's hard to tell, because it started to feel like an unbroken smear of days.

I live in Seattle now, and I love the cadence of seasons. It helps mark the passage through my life and I get filled with positive anticipation of every single seasonal change. I love picnics and playing in the sun in summer, mulling cider and carving Jack-o-lanterns in fall, snuggling under blankets and driving to play in the snow in winter, and, uh... OK, so spring here doesn't have too much to offer. But it's a good lead in to the incredible summers here.
At my last real job, they gave me a couple of months of notice (funding cut) and the guy before me, he gave them a couple of months notice. So this sort of openness does exist but is extremely atypical.

Here are some typical scenarios:

Employee: "I'm thinking of leaving. I'd rather stay here but I think my pay is below market. Can you do anything to address that?"

Manager: "Why yes, I'll see what I can do at your next review. We really like your work." He's out of here, its never the pay. I've probably bought myself a month to get his replacement. I can't trust him anymore, he's not loyal to what we're trying do here.

Employee: "I got a job offer from another company. If you match it I'll stay."

Manager: "Let me see what I can do. I wish you'd come to me earlier" He is -so- out of here. He's just going to leave within a year. I'll get him a raise and keep him until I get a replacement.

Employee: "I've taken another position but I'm happy to stay another two weeks."

Manager: "Well I wish you had told me earlier."

Employee: "Hey, I can't log in! Here come HR with a box and the guy from security..."

Basically, yes. But then they typically produced so little heat they had passive heatsinks, up to and including the Pentium II (~20 W TDP) and ATI Rage 128 that I used back in '99.

Well sure, in the same way MATLAB is a general programming language. It can be done, but it'll make you feel icky.
Haskell is very popular. It's a top 40 in a field of thousands. It's more popular than Rust.
After about 10 years out of the Northwest (and a particularly severe drought here in CA), I've finally started to miss the rain a little bit. But I sure don't miss the constantly-ruined plans or the incessant depressing grey.
This makes very good sense and it reminds me of proper business internal controls.

eg at least two or more employees must be required to be involved in any decision making process. and separation of duties as per your suggestion for a start.

It's like you're recommending a restaurant by saying that its food is "edible".

All in all, this is a bad recommendation. Julia is version 0.4. Its syntax changes with every version. It is not going to be stable soon. It is so far from stable that it doesn't have a plan for what stability will look like.

It's fine if you want to get in on the ground floor of a programming language, or to learn a new language for the fun of it, but it's completely unreasonable to suggest that you could replace a programming language that people use for their jobs that way.
Oh, absolutely. I'm not questioning the author's decision to study rather than build something. The author's goal was to get a job, and he did the thing you do if you want a job. I've worked as an SDE at Amazon; it was a good experience and I wish the author the best. I just don't believe that the whiteboarding the author did to get the job was a good predictor of engineering ability. I think the wrong actions are being perversely incentivized, and I think that makes us weaker and worse-off as a community of engineers.

> But they do not drop cases because its a white guy and keep them because its a black guy as you are insinuating.

Actual studies of plea bargaining have shown that there are racial biases in what prosecutors offer in deals between black and white defendants [0]. It seems unlikely that the same bias would not also be reflected in decisions to charge in the first place.

[0] https://www.bja.gov/Publications/PleaBargainingResearchSumma...: "Studies that assess the effects of race find that blacks are less likely to receive a reduced charge compared with whites (Farnworth and Teske, 1995; Johnson, 2003; Kellough and Wortley, 2002; Ulmer and Bradley, 2006). Additionally, one study found that blacks are also less likely to receive the benefits of shorter or reduced sentences as a result of the exercise of prosecutorial discretion during plea bargaining (Johnson, 2003)."
Illegal, probably, but Venezuela is widely acknowledged as a pretty corrupt country.
That is why I mentioned it in the first place. The paper reads very much like they think using a ring buffer provides a performance advantage over other queue implementations but then they compare two implementations using ring buffers. So their improved performance stems definitely not from using a ring buffer but from implementations details like the synchronization mechanisms used or preallocating and reusing queue entries.
I am afraid you are wrong. Any entity strong enough to blackmail you into bailing it out, is strong enough to demand for the bailout to be no strings attached.

Pressure governing bodies to bring in regulation to allow you to operate legally.

Uber isn't some small business fighting against an unfair market. It's a multi-billion dollar multinational corporation that deliberately flouts regulation to attempt to gain a foothold and then strongarm their way to a favorable outcome under threat of pulling service and pissing off voters.
A good friend told me that he felt that Google Cloud and AWS had "a severe lack of imagination".

Imagine what you could do if you didn't even assume a process model? All app state just resident in memory, but magically persisted? Who needs object storage, re-invent the pointer!

I have no idea either. The new site was never discussed once on the list ( https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/commercialhaskell ) nor does there seem to be anything in the CHG charter that would let it as a group do anything at all, such as making a collective decision to sponsor a site.
Right away it said it was testing "wealth shocks" going from something to everything in a day. Take a person who has a habit of gambling (the lottery) and they win millions, could be great or a disaster. Someone who has had money from birth, say Donald Trump, gets all sorts of perks like the best schools and a dad that gets him influence and early good deals.

This is a really awesome response, coming from an expert in the field.

It makes me a little sad to read some of this, since it runs a little counter to what I thought was becoming a more general understanding about how to and how not to interview candidates. I give search/social companies a pass because the algorithms and graph theory are core skills there, but in general it's well-known that any kind of closed question isn't all that valuable in an interview, tech or otherwise.

I don't see programming problems any differently. Looking for a "right" answer just means they know what you know and maybe think like you think. It's a very egocentric way to proceed, to be honest. I don't need a team of me!

But it does open my eyes a bit to the fact that new grads may have a pretty different experience than others. I'll try to keep that in mind in the future. I don't want to interview this way, but if I know someone has expected to interview this way it'll help me understand them better.
That is what I keep hearing. With PetSets rolled out in 1.3, GKE is getting more competitive. At my current job (startup), we're probably going to move towards that.

If the market value is what people are willing to pay, then you've just ignored any responsibility for answering the question "what are people willing to pay for", which is exactly what the question "where is the value" is supposed to be answered by.

In other words, you've just swept a messy question under a rug and acted like we'd all be smarter if we just called the mess "a rug" and ignored the details. Economists talk like that because they don't care about the art (they care about economic abstractions.) But you can't think like that if you want to answer questions about art, because those abstractions break down if you do.
If you fit a multilevel mixed model, either the intercept or the slopes can vary, but the model fit at each level (and accuracy of predictions on held-out data) will improve substantially if the terms matter and you include them.

In this case I would only believe the result if it led to across the board improvement. Contrarily, if a stratified fit's cross-county predictions were dramatically shittier than within county, I might believe it, but by pooling information in a Bayesian framework these authors appear to have aimed at a happy medium.

The multilevel aspect is important (country -> county -> locale) because of the shrinkage you get as a side effect of propagating each estimate. If time permits I will look at their code and data (available in the supplement, the author appears to have used Rstan for the fit, although a Python person could probably get a similar result with PyMC or PyStan) and try fiddling some of the dials.

The write up is a little wordy, but the model and data is all there for anyone genuinely interested in sensitivity analysis or alterntive fits. They're not hiding anything that I can see.

So why not accept a lambda? I saw that http://stackoverflow.com/questions/334851/print-the-code-whi... gives you the source, though I'm not sure if it'll always work. This does work though:

I'm definitely a big fan of using Lisp's quoting for code-as-data, but I feel stringifying it makes the problem even worse.

Taiwanese is as different from Mandarin as Cantonese is.

Mandarin is the most commonly spoken language in Taiwan, partly because the Taiwanese language was more or less outlawed during Martial Law rule from 1949 to 1987. It's also the primary language for education.

Taiwanese is still commonly spoken as well though, especially in southern Taiwan, and is actually becoming increasingly common (partly for political reasons, which are a different topic).

For comparison:

他會曉講台語無？ (Taiwanese)

他會講台語嗎？ (Mandarin)

I also intentionally used 講 instead of 說 for the Mandarin version, since both are valid and it makes it more similar.

A bigger difference would be the standard greeting:

你好 (Mandarin)

你食飽未？ (Taiwanese)
There are lots of cases where AWS builds services that are not revolutionary but purely evolutionary. Consider Amazon Redshift, their data warehouse. You would _think_ Redshift, with its poor elasticity and tight coupling of compute and storage would suck compared to BigQuery, which is a truly new way of doing things. However, the combination of "it's just Postgres(-ish)" and rapid feature iteration make it a pretty good system to use. Most importantly, the cost model is very good. TL;DR it really depends on the service.
> Kind of like gradually splitting up your giant monster truck Java thing running all your endpoints into a variety of microservices.

That's a perfectly apt analogy. "Too big to fail = must be killed immediately" is like saying if you have an Java monolith that is a SPOF for your entire business, you must immediately blow up the server running it to protect yourself from the danger of it failing later...

When he asked me to implement atoi() on Java, Integer.parseInt() was the not correct way to do things at Amazon.

I have to agree with them here. If you're being asked to implement a function for parsing integers, they're clearly not looking for an answer of "I call a function which parses integers".

I've been in this same boat a few times (e.g. looking to replace a slow Python tool that has big dependencies like PyQt5). The quick and easy solution (even for someone with very little JS experience) was to rewrite the application in Node.js and bundle it up as a single executable with nexe [0].

> Any entity strong enough to blackmail you into bailing it out, is strong enough to demand for the bailout to be no strings attached.

"Too big to fail" -- if they genuinely are [0] -- banks are not in a position to blackmail anyone into bailing them out; the danger of them failing is indirect effects of that failure, not actions the bank triggers if it is not bailed out -- its not blackmail. While policymakers have a strong public-interest incentive to prevent them from failing (that's literally what "too big to fail" describes), they have a similar public interest incentive to take steps to make sure that they aren't in the position to choose between similar failures and costly bailouts in the future -- and, quite often, the way that manifests is through conditions on the bailout which can extend as far as government taking control of the institution it is bailing out.

This is born out by the past history of US government bailouts of institutions that were deemed to critical to the economy to fail, many of which had management conditions attached, and some of which extended to government taking significant control of the entity for some period, and those who previously controlled the entity losing out -- the entity (itself a legal fiction created by government) was preserved, the actual people the entity belonged to were not always bailed out.

There are times when bailouts had no or weak conditions, which may be a policy failure, but clearly does not demonstrate that imposing conditions on bailouts is impossible.

[0] "Too big to fail" can also be an pretext for policy-maker favors to people with whom they have personal, social-class, or other connections, rather than a genuine fact, in which case its still not blackmail, but a whole different problem.

> A good friend told me that he felt that Google Cloud and AWS had "a severe lack of imagination".

I don't know about that. Google Container Engine (hosted Kubernetes) is actually pretty awesome and imaginative. It's feeling like GCP's niche is going to have a sizable containerization element. If you browse around their docs, you'll find that GKE/containers have started creeping into the examples for seemingly unrelated services. They're not just dipping a toe in.

More generally, I feel like GCP's container strategy is just leagues ahead of AWS' at this point. While this article was thin on substance, ECS is definitely difficult to set up and maintain. If I'm going to go through all of that trouble, I might as well run my own Kubernetes or Mesos setup and not be locked into ECS.
Corporate firewalls have ruined the internet. You can't put a website on an arbitrary port. The shift to SSL won't even change that, because sysadmins and similar professionals like categorizing traffic by port, and no amount of reasoning will change that. They still think you can filter good/bad, allowed/disallowed by port, even if you can't scan it.

Load-balancing isn't within the ambit of HTTP, so that doesn't weigh in favor of SRV.

The _service._proto template for SRV names is pointless for anything already communicating over HTTP, as it's going to be either too specific/redundant or not specific enough for your particular scenario. For example, I'm using SRV for a automatic service registration and discovery project and ignoring it entirely. But ignoring that in a standard is awkward.

Finally, IPv6 (presuming we get there!) will make ports redundant. You can just assign a new address to your service. The historical baggage will be annoying (requiring root to bind to ports <1024), but with VMs and containers corporate software doesn't bother with old-school best practices like that.

And we're ignoring that there's already an installed base and market for load balancers, redirectors, etc. I understand that the dream is to be able to move that logic back toward the edges, and I whole heartedly agree. But as with filtering by port number, the majority of IT professionals just don't think that way.
