Of course it would start with a conversation and then move on to the implementation where the ones with knowledge would shine through. Having the same start line as someone fresh out of college does not give an experienced person, the chance to demonstrate his abilities. And also after some time it can become boring to brush up the same old algorithm style questions in my opinion.
That's a very insightful observation. Over my career, I would find myself doing the hard work to advocate for improving code and developer practices, and I would often encounter resistance from management. By becoming starting a consultancy and narrowing the work that we do to just that kind of improvement, we're able to ensure that only the organizations that are at least somewhat open to the idea are the ones who approach us for help. Fighting that battle internally is a tough job.

That courts are current split on whether it applies or not indicates that there is some weight to the DOJ's opinion. That Netflix decided to ultimately settle instead of forcing the issue does not speak well of their confidence in succeeding (or their willingness to bear the costs of getting to a decision).

However it ends up finally playing out in the courts, if Facebook were to fail to properly label sponsored content in tags, you can bet someone will take them to court over it.
Typically HOA fees don't exist in rentals where as in condos that's an extra fee you're paying every month in addition to your mortgage. The $400k condo is going to have a substantial HOA fee.

I only have knowledge of my local area, but for condos around the $200k price range here have HOA fees around $500/mo. That would put him right back at a wash for monthly price if they didn't put any down payment on the condo.
you borrowed money and already made the purchase, just like a loan for a car. Car's depreciate quickly but people don't default on the loan because they are underwater based on ltv.
If they're pervasive then it's irrelevant. Looking at this stuff from a purely academic viewpoint isn't useful to people who care about implementation details.
I think that's the worst part about Google's hiring practices. You nail the 5 interviews, pass the hiring committee, the executive committee, talk to teams and then someone finally tells you "we don't have any position for you, sorry". A very standardized process isn't always a good thing, not everyone is an interchangeable cog, fresh out of college.

Yes, don't worry! Thiel merely wants to shut down worthless, trashy publications like Gawker, and the presidential candidate he supports merely wants to shut down worthless, trashy publications like the New York Times and the Washington Post.

Valuable, classy publications who adopt the proper fellatory posture toward their betters have nothing to fear whatsoever.
It's init + your app, which is exactly what you want. PID 1 has some important responsibilities that aren't handled anywhere else. I'd argue that most init systems go far beyond what you actually want PID 1 to do, but that is a different discussion.
I'm always sceptical if I see poor eating habits blamed solely on "well that's how the human species works". Yes, much of our biology and preferences are still influenced by the old hunter-gatherer lifestyle (such as our preference for salt, fat and sugar).

However, between the stone age and the present lie many centuries of culture in which humans reflected on their reading habits and changed it in many different ways. As such, blaming the stoneage heritage to solve present-day food problems doesn't seem very useful to me.

Blaming those that exploit that heritage (e.g by producing deliberately high-calorie food so it tastes better) might be more useful.
I was going to disagree with you but talked myself out of it.
Rice and beans at the very least, to get all the important amino acids. You need at least some fat too.

You can survive for a long time on just rice+beans+vegetable oil - emphasis on survive - it's not optimal for health, obviously. You want to throw in at least some fish and vegetables for health.
There's rarely partial results available. That doesn't stop media from doing exit polling and printing headlines like, "Banana is leading by 10%! Can Pear make up the difference?". I'm sure this already has some impact which is limited simply by the single-day period. Imagine if that was on the nightly news instead.
it is difficult to accept for us that may be for couple of billion people on earth have one or two varieties of food daily.
Logical constraints and CSS/DOM constraints are entirely separate things =)
Interesting idea. I don't necessarily 100% agree with everything you said, but the overall idea is a good one
Food waste is very small problem. If it was eliminated there would be 1.5 times as much food.

That's not inconsiderable. The global problem with food/hunger is one of distribution. If 50% of the food demand in the industrialized 1st world is just waste, reducing most of that could increase the share of food purchasing power of the rest of the world.
If it became prevalent enough, then theoretically you could update the *block extensions to identify the javascript (or libraries) that are used to render the ads and nullify them.

My guess is that actually implementing this kind of thing would not be worth the cost.
now I have to ask, is it just to run/execute things or there are other stuff you do with it?
> Larrabee ran Compute Shaders and OpenCL very well - in many cases better (in flops/watt) than rival GPUs

Oh god the horror that was OpenCL on Xeon Phi.

1) It was extremely buggy. Any OpenCL program of decent complexity was bound to encounter bugs in their driver.

2) FLOPS are not the only measure for computations / simulations. The bandwidth is is extremely important for many applications. Whatever Xeon Phis OpenCL was doing was not achieving anything close to its peak. Any OpenCL kernels we had tuned would end up improving the performance of the host CPU (16 x 2 Xeon) as well. It would usually result in the Xeon CPU performing better than the Xeon Phis.

3) NVIDIA released multiple generations of their GPUs since Xeon Phi was released. The performance per watt on NVIDIA and AMD GPUs has been improving substantially over the last 3 years while Xeon Phi's stagnated in 2012.

4) Even their claim for best FLOPS / WATT is wrong. The Tesla K20 released around the same time had the same power usage (225W) but about 50% higher FLOPS (2TFLOPS vs 3TFLOPS single precision).

The only selling point was that they were x86 cores and hence did not require rewriting your code. But you had to write additional directives indicating what part of your code you wanted to offload to your accelerator and when you wanted to get it back. The best performance ironically came after a lot of tuning for your application.

4 years down the line, GPU based accelerators still dominate the market and growing. and I wonder how many of the researchers who went with Xeon Phis regret their decision.
The jury is still out. Larrabee is in the wild but it's a hell of a long way from 'not failed' -- every single deployment I'm aware of suffers from massive failure rates of the hardware and every single developer I've worked with much prefers to work with Tesla gear.

It's all well and good for them to aim for 'prestige buys' like Tianhe 2, but when the marketing smoke clears, the product is not achieving the things we in HPC buy products to achieve. Utilization rates are in the toilet across the ten or so Phi contracts I touch. I'm sure KNL's integrated architecture will change this, since everyone will just get this by default from vendors, but I don't know a single site who decided to buy Phi twice.

As far as I can tell, Phi is a play at a numbers game: you can ram up the Rmax of your system under LINPACK, regardless of whether it creates any actual value for your users. In other words, it's a cheap way to claw some false cred out of your top500 position, and not so much a useful HPC tool yet.

Time will tell, I guess.
Thanks again for your answer. It gives me more direction to investigate and hopefully I would find something that works for me. As you noted, can't divulge too many details: corporate contracts that I signed :)
Thanks a lot though!

Netflix won the case, so they wouldn't have gone to the Supreme Court. Their opponent could have appealed to the Supreme Court, since they wound up the loser in the case, but they didn't - either because they ran out of money or didn't believe they would win.
Which is not how the term is being used in the article. But also "technically questionable decisions for the sake of reducing development time and costs" does not automatically become debt. Technically questionable decisions happen regardless so debt can be incurred without intending to save any money, and reducing development time and cost can be done without questionable decisions so without incurring any debt.

The article uses Docker as an example of "remodeling" which could very well be a technically questionable decision, because their argument for it is that it saves a lot of money (and is not a technical argument, which is why it could be technically questionable).

So in a sense, they're actively promoting technical debt because they're choosing their tools based on cost. They should rename their method from "remodeling" to "debt restructuring" or "refinancing". Of course, the middleman always gets paid.
Both of these narratives are incomplete - in other contexts (e.g. any primarily pastoral society) the poor did not eat meals prepared by people outside of their kinship group almost ever. The reality is that the relationship between food preparation and class have been very different in different food cultures; you can perform a comparative analysis to critique our food culture, but a narrative of a "historical shift" from "how it used to be" is misleading.

okay thats just kinda semantics then. he didn't get revenge because he did something wrong. he got revenge because he felt someone else did something wrong. so this is still all about revenge for thiel at the cost of chilling free speech.

thiel saying he is defending free speech is disingenuous when the supreme court has given the press considerable latitude to write about someone's sexual orientation. he is mad about something that was completely legal for gawker to do.

now it is a really shitty thing to do to out someone as gay. but let's not pretend this wasn't thiel's payback.

The author brought up some very valuable points I thought which aren't often talked about. Namely whether the requirements are skill based vs talent based and the time horizon of the employment. They also have a good sense of humor. This was a good read.
> You can be proudly gay while still believing that 'marriage' is only between men and women. AFAIK this is a pretty common belief among those who are both Christian and gay.

Is there any reason to believe this is a common alignment of views? While I haven't seen things broken out at that detail level (e.g., gay marriage views of gay Christians), in general, belief that society should accept homosexuality tracks pretty well with belief that gay marriage should be allowed; I'd be very surprised if, even among, say, Evangelicals (the Christian religious subgroup polling shows most opposed to gay marriage), the share of that population that is gay isn't mostly part of the 27% (from Pew earlier this year [0]) of that group that says that gay marriage should be accepted.

It's discriminatory and unconstitutional.

For what it's worth, I don't think the government should be involved in marriage in any way, shape, or form. States should issue civil union licenses, IRS 1040 forms should refer to one's civil partner, and medical decisions should be deferred to one's civil partner. In that model, a marriage would be a purely symbolic act between you, your partner, and whatever higher power you believe in. Not the state.

Also, out of curiosity, which of the many biblical models of marriage do you subscribe to?
It depends on the problem and current circumstances. Just because MongoDB doesn't work, it doesn't mean alternatives to relational DBs should be ignored.

What makes you think that? I hate ads and am more than happy to pay to not see them and to support things I use. I do this all the time with, for example, Netflix, iTunes, and a few others. I even pay for the NPR I listen to in my car where they can't track me or force me to subscribe or pay.

I think the reality is that most users get very little value out of the web sites and apps they use and would be just as happy to not use them if they disappeared due to low ad revenue. For those that they would actually miss, some large percentage might be willing to pay for them.

In fact, Hulu [1] just announced that they are no longer offering an ad-supported version. That's pretty telling. Either their service was so bad that they couldn't even give it away (doubtful given that they've kept the paid version), or users actually do hate ads and are willing to pay for content that's actually good.

> Similarly, while i understand that breaking things down to multiple tarballs have made developer life easier over at Xorg, building it requires compiling a pile of small tarballs.

I wonder if Xenocara works on anything other than OpenBSD...

I sympathize with your sentiment. Trying to maintain packages even for something as small as Xfce has been a nightmare (with all the Xfce-goodies, at least). I can't imagine what it would take to maintain so many packages needed for KDE and Xorg these days.

While "modular" sounds nice in theory, in practice you wind up wanting most of the modules anyway, so the modularity just becomes a pain in the ass. At the very least, some sort of "mega module(s)" would be nice: one could provide everything, one could perhaps provide a "20% of the code for 80% use cases" type of subset, perhaps there could be various customizations for special purpose applications, etc...

I suspect Japanese are generally neater and cleaner because they have to clean their own schools as students. I'm constantly amazed and the amount of schmutz that my housemate leaves behind in the bathroom, that would take literally a few seconds here and there for him to just clean up after himself. I've spoken to him about it, and it's literally invisible to him!

Recently, I went away on vacation for a week, and when I returned, the bathroom sink looked a nightmare. I come back, and it's fixed again. I don't think he noticed at all.

Totally understand your viewpoint, with your level of experience it's borderline offensive to ask you to jump through similar hoops as a recent graduate. Arguments of standardization/filtering and homogeneity of candidates aside, let's be a little contrarian.

You've been doing a job for x years. There's been some personal development and it's been challenging (maybe you're now managing 10 developers and are having to write proposals, for example) but ultimately you've not had to prove yourself in the way you do in an interview in over a decade. What's to say you haven't allowed other aspects of your skillset that you've acquired over the years? If you're reviewing 20 peoples' code per week, when would you have had time to code out your algorithms? Using your own example, it's not at all unusual for senior doctors to lose their skills at suturing or putting in IVs. That's not to say that they've not acquired other valuable skills but there's also something to be said about keeping your fundamentals sharp.

Now maybe I've been drinking the kool-aid, but my understanding is that at your Googs and FBs they have open remits and expect their staff to be dynamic and quick to learn. One of the most valuable skills in that case is sharp fundamentals.

Losing that familiarity with the nitty gritty is a perfectly human thing, I saw it happen with professors being "outsmarted" by undergrads while at uni and early into my professional dev career I am already feeling certain aspects of my skill base deteriorating, I can only imagine what it'll be like in a couple of decades.

With all that, it's not hard to imagine why your big 5 do have such rigorous hiring loops, especially when they're already oversubscribed...
I agree with all of your points but I think KNL will be a turning point.

Traditional multi core CPUs simply aren't an option to advance in the HPC space any more. Per generation there's not enough of a performance improvement to make it effective. And buying more of them isn't feasible from a power perspective. So everyone is going to have to re-write for massive parallelism. I think Intel's KNL and future Knights will be the most attractive path for a lot of people. You have the tooling and familiarity of x86 and a simpler memory model than GPUs.
If the questions are relevant to the job, it shouldn't matter if the candidate has 0 or 25 years of experience, because longer experience doesn't necessarily imply greater skill. That being said, it's legitimate to ask whether all those algo questions are actually relevant to begin with.

* Whether this sets a precedent or not - That is another question and can be resolved in future. That does not mean we should support a publication which is just gossiping about the private life of a person.
