Shallow article, it's like it had all the engineering in the design/construction has been sucked out. I would have expected something on the lack of:

* energy efficiency/re-cycling of building materials used

* integration of passive/active energy saving power

* poor design in creating buildings capable of whole life existence

* improved use of natural light and air flow

* use of factory built, prefabricated frames (ie: Holland)

If you watch or catch Kevin McCloud's, Grand Designs (BBC) would appreciate this. [0] Any others you can think of?

Yep, this is a real thing, and is actually an extremely good idea.

You should get a market rate salary post series-B or damn close in my opinion. This is the round where founders can take money off the table, making them millionaires. If they take money off the table but tell you that you should take less then market, you are getting taken advantage of. At a large company, with stock and bonus you could be getting $100k more per year. Your startup stock should cover this and more since you are taking a risk it is worth nothing in the end. Your base salary should match what you would get elsewhere. Founders take money off the table so they can focus on building the company and not worry about finances. There’s no reason employees shouldn’t be treated the same way.

How would you like working at a place like Secret for a discount only to find out 18 months before shutting down the founders each made 3 million.[1] Don’t take a below market salary at this point. There’s enough money the company can afford to pay market. If the founders can make millions they can afford to pay you the wage you deserve. Even post series-A I feel should be close to market, since the company just raised millions. Seed can be lower, but you should have a guarantee that it goes up at the next funding round. There’s a lot of money in the market and a lot of bad founders, so don’t make personal sacrifices to make others rich. If you want a mission, join the Peace Corp. Startups are business, otherwise they would be incorporated as non-profits.

One-time audit is great, but continuous auditing is also crucial. There are three kinds of vulnerabilities I can think of:

* software bugs

* design flaw

* backdoor

First could be detected using fuzzer, static analysis and proof reader.

The second and third, unclear to me how could be found intelligently without human code review. Perhaps https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12236394 is relevant? Anyone?

World first wildlife-focused fundraising platform
World first wildlife-focused fundraising platform
Edge Pledge, the new challenge-based online app, raises money for wildlife on the brink of extinction. Edge Pledge enables anyone (and everyone) to become an Extinction Fighter by putting themselves ‘on the edge’. The web-app officially launched on 15 August 2016.
http://www.edgepledge.com
The app’s world-first challenge generator takes users out of their comfort zone by finding three unique challenges which inspire them to do something out of the ordinary. Then it is up to family, friends and fans to vote, by pledging a donation, for the one challenge they most want to see the participant do. After a few weeks of voting, the Extinction Fighter then completes the challenge, documenting their experience with video or photos, and posting them on their social media to show those who pledged money how they were put ‘on the edge’.

I've always been suspicious about those schools. Computer science is far more than just "coding".

The difference between a CS degree and a coding bootcamp is very similar to the difference between being a computer scientist and a developer. In my 20 years of development so far I've never implemented a doubly linked list or designed a search algorithm.

Interesting, this is like a TSA pre-check program for coders. The main benefit, I assume, is that the exam is proctored and your identity verified.

If not, then there is no value to this. I've already run across someone who said they were sent to a testing site, Googled the answers and got a perfect score. They didn't get the job, but the coding test was not the reason. So if you could guarantee against cheating, that would be an advantage.

I'd say sites like interviewing.io and Pramp sort of do that already.
There are some dubious examples of English usage in the section on verbs. I understood what was intended but only because I am already well familiar with the topics the author intended to illustrate.

> However, there is something funny about transitivity: some verbs, like "walk", you can only use intransitively (we don't say that we "walked the street", for instance), but many verbs can be used either intransitively or transitively, like "eat".

One can "walk the streets of Bakersfield".

> For instance, traversal verbs (such as 'walk', 'run', 'fly', 'sail', etc.) are intransitive in English, but ... while in English one does not "fly the sky" or "swim the ocean" (at the very least you'd need a preposition such as "through" or "in" to make those correct English), in Japanese this is exactly what you're doing.

Although we don't often say that someone swam the ocean, Columbus "sailed the ocean blue".
Here's another paper, "Learning Styles - Concepts and Evidence":
http://psi.sagepub.com/content/9/3/105.abstract

I quote:
"Although the literature on learning styles is enormous, very few studies have even used an experimental methodology capable of testing the validity of learning styles applied to education. Moreover, of those that did use an appropriate method, several found results that flatly contradict the popular meshing hypothesis. We conclude therefore, that at present, there is no adequate evidence base to justify incorporating learning-styles assessments into general educational practice."

Wikipedia has many links to more criticism of the concept:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_styles#Criticism

For instance:
Psychologists Scott Lilienfeld, Barry Beyerstein, and colleagues listed as one of the "50 great myths of popular psychology" the idea that "students learn best when teaching styles are matched to their learning styles", and they summarized some relevant reasons not to believe this "myth".

Hackerrank seems to be same as codility - I apply for ten jobs I get to do ten different code tests. Not one and then the companies all look at it and go "ok"

I was not planning to make this site - was just intellectually curious as to why, despite we always saying "the software engineer has the whip hand" we end up with business models where we the applicant are expected to sacrifice hours and hours for a shot at an interview.

The cause seems to be "because employers pay" and "applicants don't" but it's interesting enough to ask why we don't pay.

(Personally I think people will get enthusiastic about one opportunity early on in the search and do one code test and then ... Be ever more reluctant to do another test.

It also means you need to be extra careful compared to simpler architectures (like AVR). For example for locking you may need to disable/re-enable interrupts also within an ISR not just in the main loop / threads.

If nesting is a problem for you and you want to be lazy, I think you can disable nesting between specific interrupts by giving them the same priority (though I can't find any docs right now about that).

Because of the huge reach of Mad they were popular before but they felt more like mediocre filler content within Mad. Yes the style was distinct but the plot was always the same and predictable. With the games they found their real determination: the visual style, the always recurring topic of the spies tricking each one into a trap--the games were the perfect media for Spy vs Spy, way better than the strips.

And it was more than a handful of games. Spy vs Spy was a strong merchandise running over many years with an unique and innovative gameplay then for many platforms.
Yes some kind of anti-cheating feature. To the extent of having a human being watch you, not sure - this is more an intellectual curiosity than a real business model (I think it won't fly - but the reasons why are interesting)
Thank you for posting this example! I've used something like this myself to describe Set, but it didn't occur to me when I wrote my comment on the OP. The notion that one can quantify over properties (not just concrete objects) is one that is not necessarily obvious to someone without mathematical training.

My Spotless Mind
Which models are coming out with electrically assisted turbos?
As a Palo Alto resident of a little more than a year I completely agree with you.

I understand rents being high because of the cost of housing in general - it costs a great deal of money to pay the property taxes alone.

Let's face it - Palo Alto is a wondrous city. So many great things come out of this area because it's chock full of talent in so many areas - from software developers to financial investors, medical researchers, inventors, lawyers, etc. There's a reason why the cost of housing is high: many people want to live here, and living here affords all kinds of opportunity and inspiration.

But it does need to be managed. Pricing out talented individuals is bad for the future. Families should be able to move into the area to work important jobs at local businesses.

I have several children, and it's a struggle to get by in the area, let alone save for the future. I see so many people that work non-stop in great jobs that are barely making it. The cost of housing is such that it's affordable for people with multiple high incomes and that's just about it.

Many local businesses don't look good, and it's no wonder. How can they possibly bring in workers at retail wages? My neighborhood is full of people sleeping in their cars every day who work at local restaurants. At first I was completely wierded out by the phenomenon, but at this point I understand. They are just trying to get by, and can't drive in during rush hour to prepare for the dinner shift, so they do what they have to do.

The cost of housing in this area is great for some, but it affects the quality of life of many residents and many people who come to the area to work. Palo Alto needs to expand the availability of affordable housing in order to sustain itself.

Other communities have found solutions. In Huntington Beach we had Median Income Housing developed with caps on pricing. There are large facilities in town that look to be unoccupied or sparsely occupied. Surely there is room for high density housing like apartments or condos. Even a hundred units would make a difference and help drive sustainability.

My 2 cents.
XML namespaces still are a good idea.
Wonder why he never mentions Nix/NixOps or Guix.

If we talk about purely functional configuration and runtime changes those seem to be like the projects to focus on.
Two more I'd add:

- Actually doing something is a necessary condition. An obvious statement but I've heard people bemoaning not having a startup success who didn't try. (Also, those regretting not having a bestseller book, didn't try writing a book, etc.)

- Failure is very likely (regardless of Paul Graham's inspiring and encouraging essays). This doesn't mean you shouldn't try. Many of the factors that determine success are things that you don't control, can't predict, can't understand no matter how smart you are, and can't even explain after you're become rich or broke. There's a lot of randomness in outcome.
Try writing the same thing without a computer why don't ya.

As an interviewer I can see why you would want to force someone to jump through arbitrary hoops like that but if someone can show me `() => i` and explain why that works, that would be good enough for me.

> They buy them because of interior features.

This seems incorrect. If it were true, then there would be no reason for the exteriors to be so god-awful. If all you care about is a lot of good interior space, then why pay for misplaced Roman columns? In fact, some McMansions can be identified by their poor handling of interior space, mostly due to having too many disjoint or poorly connected masses.

You can't really use SVGs, except on the web. MS office, latex, ... all need conversion. This seems a minor issue at first, but companies will simply not bother converting their logos to SVGs for the web then.

Even on the web wikipedia prerenders als svgs to have uniform look of them on all browsers, image hosters don't support them (probably because they could contain javascript), when I see something that looks like a vector graphic on the web it's >90% of the time a png.

How does fixing such vulnerabilities work in practice? Is he going to patch the code in private branches so that nobody can infer the vulnerability from the commit, or will people be expected to update to the latest commit if he pushes to the public repo?
Ah, a trick question.

Employees should always negotiate to be paid their market rate, regardless of the stage of the company. Founders can pay themselves as little as they like, but once they start hiring people they need to actually pay those people to work for them. Stock options (on top of that market rate) and other things are a nice way of offsetting the risk that the company will go away in a matter of months, but never make the mistake of trading away salary for them.

Doing otherwise is a combination of betting on other people's lottery tickets and simply being taken advantage of.
It's a composite of recognizable bad habits of a bunch of well known companies, including Google.
You are going to pay for it either way. Why not cut out the middle man and pay for it through taxes?

Once the take rate for the municipal network is high enough, paying for it with taxes is more efficient anyway.

As with roads, you get one regardless of if you have a car or not, no you pay for it via taxes.

A good model would be to pay for the fiber network via taxes and then you'd pay a monthly fee to your ISP of choice, if you want service.

This has the additional benefit of giving you connectivity anywhere within city limits, as the fiber network would be ubiquitous. Plug in anywhere, connect to any wifi, authenticate and you'd be online.

I think what pissed of many users was that the update messes with your settings once again, and that Cortana cannot be disabled anymore without messing around in the registry. Another point was that they forgot to turn off some debugging option they had presumably activated for their developers which opened up a big vulnerability.
Didn't have a house. Grew up in a tiny 1 room appartment with my parents, then moved to a 2 room appartment and actually had my own room since 2nd grade. And yes that was a "great house". The 2 room tiny appartment felt like so much space.
Automated API Testing
I find Postman is great for API testing during development, but is there any tool for automating API integration testing as part of a CI setup?

Of course such a tool would probably need to work within the corporate firewall in order to access dev endpoints, perhaps also be able to interrogate internal DBs to verify data correctness. And of course automatically running tests and reporting/failing builds if desired post-build.

I will build a tool that does this if:

a) Such tool doesn't already exist.

b) There are enough comments here to suggest demand from people willing to pay for this.
I have looked for a year and a half at 4 bedrooms in Palo Alto for under $5k / month - the caveat being that I have pets.

I have yet to see anything pop up other than where I currently live. It was available for all of three hours.

The upside is that if I were to leave the area, I would be able to provide my landlord with acceptable tenants quickly.
When I worked at Rackspace I recall the same sentiment as the majority of the comments here.. Testing for specific things the interviewer(s) happens to have fresh on their mind at the time. I've fallen into this trap myself and recall a particularly harsh interview we put an internal candidate through. It was almost a joke in this case and we wanted him anyway(incidentally he did surprisingly well regardless), but these were par for the course at the time. I doubt I could answer the questions I asked as well as he did if I had to today.
Good luck.

I saw some weird glitches when I read this article in Chrome on Ubuntu Touch (it is fine in Firefox on the desktop though); it was reloading itself at weird intervals. At one point it looked like the last paragraph was the one that ended in “(You didn’t think I could write an entire column without mentioning him, did you?)”, after that it reloaded and I got another four paragraphs that did (lightly) touch upon the subject of the column.

Perhaps you had this issue as well?
