Thinking about this a little more, your final point may be right. It may be that companies become good by optimizing for F-measure, develop a talented and deep pool, then transition to optimizing for precision to manage the applicant load. Thus, most companies considered good have already transitioned while the ones who haven't aren't widely known.

> With no real reaction after the NSA leaks

I know where you're coming from but I don't think this is the case. There are too many examples to give but here are some nice ones:

In 2013, there were only a small number of E2E encrypted messenger users. Now there are over a billion Signal Protocol users alone, not even including other systems. This isn't getting deployed because it's easier to develop, support, or use than plaintext.

In 2013, RC4 was widely used in TLS and random number generation (on BSD systems). It has been kicked out and now ChaCha is seeing wide deployment in the same places (although FreeBSD is lagging behind).

Let's Encrypt has substantially increased TLS availability and usage.

In 2013, the default crypto in OpenSSH was (IIRC) P-256 and AES-CTR, with ECDSA host keys. It's now X25519 and ChaCha20-Poly1305 with EdDSA host keys.

In 2013, TLS was mostly RC4 and CBC. Now (on my servers) it's mostly GCM and ChaCha. Even the IETF has said to stop using RC4.

The NaCl family, including in particular Libsodium, has a TON of users. Besides supporting only strong crypto, the high-level API has made it almost impossible to publish a successful new crypto library today that's in the style of OpenSSL where the only answer to "how to I accomplish X?" is "go fuck yourself." Good riddance to Russian roulette crypto libraries.

We're even seeing movement in pqcrypto. So while some people are being reactive and switching out bad crypto for good (as in above examples), some are being proactive. Google is experimenting with pq-safe key agreement, as just one example. Tor is working on it as well. So not only has there been a positive reaction since 2013, but people are beginning to be more proactive as well, trying to stay ahead of the curve.

The number of users of strong crypto has increased by several billion since 2013.
Last time I went to such an interview I got to spend a night in a very good hotel, in a very pretty town that I otherwise wouldn't have visted. I got to take in their summer festival, which I didn't even know was on.

And on the next day: I spent few hours talking about about programming to programmers. That done, I wondered about the town some more, eating local food and sipping foreign wine.

Damn! What a waste of a holiday.

Short Code was an interpreted bytecode proposed by Mauchly in 1949 and implemented by Schmitt on the UNIVAC I in 1950:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_Code_%28computer_languag...

Going back further, Turing's 1936 Universal Machine is "universal" because it can interpret a description of another machine, which could be a different Universal Machine (i.e. an interpreter), an application-specific machine, or even the same universal machine (i.e. self-emulation).

Gates and Allen developed Altair BASIC on a PDP-10 at Harvard in 1976, handling invalid-instruction traps by emulating the 8080 instructions they were using, thus turning the PDP-10's operating system into an interpreter for a different instruction set.

The Alto being used at the same time at Xerox PARC was optimized for such emulations: it ran "microcode" loaded from RAM, so that you could program it to interpret whatever instruction set was most appropriate for your application.

Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, a large fraction of IBM computer time was spent running emulators of earlier IBM models like the 650, 704, 709, and 7090, in order to run the software developed for those older machines.

And of course today much of our computer time is spent running software represented as JVM bytecodes, SpiderMonkey bytecodes https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/Sp..., CPython bytecodes, or Lua "bytecodes"; and Vulkan, the new replacement for OpenGL, defines a vendor-independent bytecode format for representing GPU programs.

A level below this, the currently popular out-of-order CPUs recompile the i386 or amd64 instructions emitted by our compilers into sets of "micro-ops", which are then independently scheduled; sometimes these micro-op representations are cached so that the recompilation process doesn't have to be repeated every time through a loop. You could argue that this, even more than the usual microcode approach that was supposed to go out the window with the advent of RISC, has turned our entire software infrastructure into bytecode for a more convenient virtual machine.

Your comment seems to be predicated on the misconception that programming a computer to interpret a more convenient instruction set is some kind of bizarre or unusual thing to do. In fact, it is not only commonplace, but absolutely central to our modern concept of "computer".

Marathon used a different system of level-building (portals instead of BSPs) that let you stack levels vertically, so it's actually possible to create a lot of nice architecture with some good view faking. Also, it's one of the few games with a good story, and maybe the only FPS.

There is one major thing missing for constructing a "modern" game with it, and that's scripting - the open source version has Lua, but I don't know if anyone's written anything amazing with it.

3rd party scenarios for Marathon were also oddly literary, like this one where you go back in time and save Leonardo da Vinci from aliens.

> So you're actually arguing for companies to hire employees who will likely produce negative output (their code will be so bad as to take not only their own time, but other programmers' time to fix) just to ...what, not hurt the feelings of the bottom 80 percent of developers?

I did nothing of the sort. In fact, I am arguing that your hypothetical negative output employee is much rarer that some people think.

> Your analogy is poor: Hiring a bad programmer is an extremely high probability event, even in a broad pool of candidates as would apply to a high-end company like Amazon, not a low priority event.

I have seen no data to support this. My personal experience does not support this.

> There have been studies dating back to the 70's that show a 10-20x skill difference between average and great developers. If you're going to pay roughly the same for a 1x as a 10x developer, wouldn't you want the 10x? So they tune their hiring process to skew that number as high as possible.

Citation needed. I have certainly seen this bandied about the Internet quite a bit, but the best the citations only claim a 10x difference between great and terrible developers, and even those studies are likely flawed.[1]

> I did know at least one person who applied to Amazon and who was rejected -- and rightfully so, in my opinion. His skills were sub-par, and the interview process detected that. Most others that I worked with while I was at Amazon were also above average; people I've encountered at other jobs have been mediocre by comparison, with the exception of a number of game developers I know.

I'm not saying people shouldn't be rejected or that bad developers should have jobs at places like Amazon. I'm saying that optimizing for false negatives because you are paranoid of false positives is an anti-pattern and that there are better ways to deal with false positives.

It's a really terrible guess, actually.

Suppose there is a pattern of 10% of traders being sloppy, and 90% being not sloppy. If you run this strategy, you lose 90% of the time.

Additionally, whenever a small trader comes along, you are again overreacting. I.e., I make quite a few (automated) trades. I never cross exchanges or blow up more than 1 level. Whenever I trade you are again buying all the shares and probably losing money.

What I described as acausal is responding to an order at BATS before it gets there. Guessing that maybe an order might go to BATS because you saw one at ARCA isn't acausal.

This is strangely similar to generative adversarial training in neural nets. They are composed of a generator and a discriminator. The generator has the purpose to generate examples that fool the discriminator and vice-versa. They improve together, iteratively. It's a smart approach but has stability problems in training, because both the generator and the discriminator have to be balanced.

Maybe they could try to apply this kind of technique to improve their auto-generated articles to the point where they can't be distinguished from those created by humans, and at the same time, fool the FB bots which filter the feeds.

What I hate about Google onsites is that EVERYONE YOU EVER KNOW is invested in the outcome, without consider what you think is right for you.

You could be interviewing full time at 20 companies through Hired.com and nobody bats an eye - no matter if they are interesting, pay extremely well (or not), are located in a cool place - Google's interview has people in lalaland. Which makes a non-offer outcome much more compounded than actual.
Amazon aggressively recruits people all over the country. If you have a pulse, you can probably get through their initial phone screen and they will pay to fly you out to Seattle for a day of interviews. You typically won't have a lot of time to see the city, but you can roll the dice and "miss" your return flight and try to get a standby booking which might buy you a few hours or an overnight - which you can then book a hotel on your dime.
One other way of finding how much memory is used is to enlist JMH's -prof gc option to see what gets generated between runs. I used this to see what StringBuffer did in http://alblue.bandlem.com/2016/04/jmh-stringbuffer-stringbui...

You can run the test with and without C2 (eg with -Xint) to see the effects on the inlining/escape analysis, and (on Linux) with -prof asm to see where the code is taking time.

So I don't think you understand what's going on.

Fortunately, breakfast is also the meal that you can best get away with eating no carbs at all. Nobody looks funny at you for eating bacon and eggs. Even if you have to accede to custom and have some toast, you can just butter it and have a protein-rich meal that is far closer to ideal than you can often get away with eating lunch and dinner.
Do you think there are circumstances where it's ok to shame fat women? E.g. if they had incorrect beliefs that lead to bad diets?

"serving where you are" could easily be mistaken for servicing where you are, which has a whole different connotation.
This is missing the other side of American breakfast: Eggs, sausage, bacon, ham... Often combined with these other items, but not always. Very different macronutrient profile.
I accept the Amazon specific revision that "in the eyes of the reviewers, you did not meet the bar." The rest of the advice follows just as naturally from this premise. The only variable that is eliminated is the current application pool, which the candidate has no control over anyway. Performed ability level, interviewer perception, and "resume traits" are the variables any candidate should manipulate to increase the odds of being hired. The first two are very noisy, the later can also be a function of effort (the same information can be presented better or worse in a resume).

I reject the notion that Amazon's hiring practices are neither implicitly nor explicitly comparative. The notion of hiring candidates that "raise the bar" is explicitly comparative to existing employees. That said, I do not know the details of Amazon's hiring philosophy. I do know that internal promotion within Amazon is quota constrained and therefore implicitly comparative.
They explicitly call this out and apply population stratification later in the paper.

I've always hated American breakfast. My family often traveled when I was a child, which meant many Mcdonald's and Ihop breakfasts. The insane greasiness, saltiness, and sweetness of it all made me sick. To this day, I still can't eat any sort of typical breakfast food without feeling nauseous (which I suppose could be due in part to the conditioning of eating and then hopping back into a hot, smelly car for a 12 hour ride)

Breakfast for me has always been a sandwich with veggies or other typical lunch food, just a smaller portion. The whole "breakfast all day" campaigns more and more restaurants push kind of bothers me since there's no "lunch all day" movement anywhere. If you want a good sandwich or spaghetti at 9 AM in the US, good luck.

I'm living in Japan now, and the typical breakfast offered at hotels here is some meat, veggies, rice, and bread. Far more balanced and I don't feel like shit all day.
