I'm assuming you're referring to the behavior where activities are restarted on rotation and onSaveInstanceState() gets called.

This behavior is the default because it prevents developers from needing to think about their UI changing dimensions (including runtime screen size/density changes!)... but it's certainly not required by the framework.

If you set android:configChanges="orientation" in your application manifest, your app won't be automatically restarted. However, you'll become responsible for swapping out any UI resources at that point.

(Keep in mind that Android lets you declare completely different UI layouts and drawables for different device configurations, so depending on how you wrote your app, you may need to re-inflate part of your UI.)

Or just implement onSaveInstanceState() and let the OS do everything for you.
And it's the totally right thing to do. Bad hires are disastrous and have a much greater impact than missing out on a few pretty good engineers because they didn't think to use dynamic programming. Programming interviews aren't perfect, but the reality is there aren't better alternatives.

Oh, interesting! Don't know why I would have assumed it to be less than that. Thanks for this article, good to learn something new.
I think you're forgetting that there are dreamers, crazies and malcontents that historically have been more than willing to risk everything to make a go somewhere new or get away from their civilized peers.

Persecution is certainly one motivator, but hardly the only one. Some people are driven to explore, some are religious nuts looking for whatever they look for, some just hate civilization or people or their family or whatever, some can't explain their motives.

Civilization isn't for everyone.
What is the end game for this hypothetical professional bullshitter? Let's say you hire someone who can successfully bluff past your interview. They come in on the first day, do all the HR forms, get their computer and start setting it up. Eventually they will be assigned a task, or pairing, or whatever it is you do. At this point what happens? If they are able to do the job they did not bullshit you. If they are able to do the job but not as well as you wanted, then maybe it wasn't bullshit but slight exaggeration. If they completely cannot do the job, they were obviously bullshitting.

At this point, what happens? If they can actually do the work, then you are fine. If they can actually do the work but not as well as you want, maybe they can be trained. If they are completely incapable of doing the work, every state is At Will, and though I know from personal experience firing someone is no fun, that is the risk you take.

I believe the threat of someone talking a good game but being unable to produce is vastly overstated. It absolutely happens, but the harm is minimal.
Uh, yes you can. You can hire someone at $10/hr (minimum wage) salaried at 40hr/week. You just can't have them work unpaid overtime. You can still have them work overtime, you'll just need to compensate them for it.

If your business can't survive without a ton (if it's only a little here and there, then this shouldn't be much of a hardship?) of unpaid overtime from low-paid employees (less than $20/hr), then that sounds like an issue with your business.

One of the things that makes frontier colonies interesting is they can be selective in who they bring along. This can make control moot, since everyone in the colony agrees on most things anyway. But it can also, conceivably, be problematic.

I have much more respect for something that an actual person owns. If it's some mom and pop bed and breakfast I respect it a lot more than if it is some hotel.

EDIT: After thinking some more it is all boils down to how much the owner cares about it. For example I really care a lot about my car but the rental comapany doesn't really care much about any specific car that they own.
"While in Nagpur, I met a young man who loved using YouTube to watch WWE wrestling and wanted to show us his favorite video. But after he found it and tapped to play, the video just wouldn’t load"

I believe this is really bad example, as WWE is a "premium content" so you have to pay extra to watch it. Therefore Youtube removes those videos (there is only 2 WWE videos which is from legal accounts).

So it's pretty awkward example just as "the young man in Nagpur wants to watch Game of Thrones with his HBO Go membership but he can't because of he is poor internet connection."

My emphasis was less on the replication of effort, which duplicate tagging definitely resolves, and more on the idea that broad open-ended questions raise the bar for a well-qualified high-quality answer far above and beyond that needed for a simple and concise question of limited scope.

Allowing such questions effectively lowers the percentage of questions that get good answers, thereby training users NOT to expect an answer to a posted question, and leading to decreased engagement.

On the other hand, by disallowing such questions, the questions that do get asked are more likely to be answered, and this encourages repeat visits and increased engagement.
I don't know.

Maybe it has something to do with them not being able to show you ads when you video ads when your screen is minimized. Or maybe it is to prevent people from using youtube as an alternative to paying for google music.

While I agree that you should "plan for the worst, hope for the best," YC started with a very idealistic concept that a couple of guys with a couple of computers and a few thousand dollars could seek to be Ramen Profitable (instead of seeking to be the next unicorn).

Venus also has no magnetic field. It has much stronger gravity as well, requiring larger rockets to take off from it, and it is quite difficult to mine resources from due to the high temperatures and pressures at the surface, meaning all materials for a colony would need to be sent from Earth.

I am fairly sure that almost everyone with a cs degree can calculate something like 56 * 13 with a pen, paper and some time.

The thing is that you can teach almost anyone to memorize a table which is why you can teach them to multiply single digits. But once you try to teach them how to follow an algorithm a lot of people just wont get it, which is why multiplying things they haven't memorized gets almost impossible for some.
> n the case of real analysis, it is an issue of switching from "Can you apply known operations to produce the right answer?" to "Do you understand the structure of the reals well enough to prove it?".

Is this really the case in general? My math degree curriculum started with 100% proof-driven classes almost immediately, long before most people got around to taking real analysis. It was my impression that that kind of approach was fairly ubiquitous.

I'd rather teach generalized sequential logic and reasoning in high school. Then the programming will naturally fall from that, if they decide to learn. However, if they don't decide to learn, then at least the class will still have some applicability to their life.

EDIT: Think of teaching at the level of what's in this Atwood post, and the related paper:

In making the comment in question, my hope was that the movement to view users as commodities would be echoed in Alfred Hitchcock's words comparing actors to cattle.

As I hope is clear, the comment did have substance, though that substance may have been obscured by my pithiness, lack of wit, or inarticulateness, in which case I beg you to forgive me.

I'm wondering if that's because of where you live? In the US at least, if your not in a top 10 city, chances are your data connection is terrible.
The "huge" graph is only virtual. It exists in principal but you are not going to materialize the whole thing when it gets huge. Or if you are you are going to do it with stupid Hadoop methods, not by trying to grow traditional databases up.

Realistically you create the indexes and data structures necessary for your workload, it is not that different from any other technology except in the case of RDF the math is known.

As someone who spent a lot of time in the past 5 years at MSFT and also at tons of other firms doing security work / SDL-work on code bases; there are very few companies where a giant C/C++ code base is getting even close to the quality of Microsofts.

And indeed; very few companies spent as much money as Microsoft on their entire SDL. Sadly never had the chance to get a look into Google's kitchen but I'm hearing that they're great too.

They're also not dealing with the kind of backwards compatibility that Microsoft is dealing with which helps them out a lot too.

> You can't hire them at a salary below that 2x minimum wage (41.6k) threshold for the law I noted if they're a full-time 40 hr / week employee.

Yes, you can. If you hire them for less than that, they just aren't exempt from state wage, hour, etc. rules, so you have to pay them overtime, etc.

It is not a minimum pay for full-time employees, it is a minimum salary threshold for employees that otherwise qualify for either the professional, executive, or administrative exemption to wage and hour laws.

Its basically the same as the other law, except the other law covers federal wage and hour rules, and the California law covers California wage and hour rules.

While I agree with spirit of your comment, in practice I have to check my beliefs.

I don't think Europeans really care that much. As evidence I present the title of the article which conspicuously doesn't read "Facebook ordered to stop collecting data on Facebook users".

If people really cared about mass surveillance would they actively participate in Facebook et al?

I don't use Facebook, Twitter, etc, ostensibly because I'm not keen on mass surveillance. But if I'm truly honest with myself it's because I know I'll post things I'll later wish I hadn't.
Because Mars doesn't have a thick enough atmosphere to parachute-land a big spacecraft. The atmosphere is thin not only in density but in altitude.

It wasn't until about 15 years ago that it was realized that we had no clue how to land a large craft on Mars. "Plainly put, with our current capabilities, a large, heavy vehicle, streaking through Mars’ thin, volatile atmosphere only has about ninety seconds to slow from Mach 5 to under Mach 1, change and re-orient itself from being a spacecraft to a lander, deploy parachutes to slow down further, then use thrusters to translate to the landing site and finally, gently touch down." - JPL.[1]

The approaches used for the small landers don't scale. Giant supersonic parachutes a hundred meters across don't look workable. There are some exotic parachute/heat shield concepts such as "hypercones" which have never been tried. Deceleration outside the atmosphere with rockets takes huge amounts of fuel, but should work.

The refueling in orbit plan makes sense. (Sending the fuel tank up first would be simpler, if less impressive visually. Build up fuel storage in orbit with multiple launches. This was von Braun's original lunar plan.)

> I'm just saying it's probably unwise to focus and spend time and money on this right now. We probably won't even make it to that day. It's better to learn to live on Earth responsibly and then maybe, once we've learned our lessons, start looking further.

I'm quite thankful none of the European powers said "you know, we really should stabilize things here before we try and head west".

And when they landed in America? They KEPT PUSHING. In every single direction. Through revolutions, bloody coups, and multiple changes of government back in Europe, people kept exploring and expanding.

Perfect is the enemy of good.
It ran its course. It was only supposed to be a three month project. See the original announcement: https://medium.com/project-tofino/browsers-innovators-dilemm...
Lastpass is zero-knowledge but subject to any number of attacks on the client. As the old adage goes: If you can't attack the crypto, attack the client! My personal setup is an always updated version of KeePass. I gave up using 1Password when I realized the loopback is cleartexted when autofilling passwords, and a host of other vulns like the .opvault format not used as the default, and too many other vulns to count. The master password is also a single point of failure and once you get that, you get everything. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link and all that. With KeePass even if they have the master password, they also need a second key / keyfile, and a machine ID so a copy of the KDBX file is useless to an attacker (unless they can emulate your machine UUID).

You can read more about that 1pass vuln here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11212002
Short of using tor I'm not sure anything else really can work. You can dump all the cookies, block all the javascript and use all the VPNs you want but ad companies are working very hard to break through those protections. And until there is a law forbidding them to do so, they'll just keep doing it.
> Like the intense friction, and heating

The heating does not come from friction. If a gas is compressed, it heats up. Moving through air compresses it in front. There's a point on the leading edge where the air is actually still. That's the point of maximum compression, and maximum heat (and minimum friction!). (Pitot tubes work on this principle, they are simply air pressure gauges calibrated to read as speed rather than PSI.)

This misattribution is one of my pet peeves. <grump>
Seems great for all the basic research it will require.

But I'm unsure about the morality of it. I think the drive to expand and discover new things is perhaps a direct cause of the deeper problems we have on Earth. Would humanity be better off just becoming a sustainable population of monks? Or are we morally equivalent to a virus, reduced to survival of the fittest and always seeking out the next host to reap?
Does anybody know the total number / exact list of SNPs covered in this panel? How about the read depth?

I found this whitepaper on their website, which provides some level of detail...

However, there were a good many asterisks and caveats about not testing every position along these genes (some of which are quite large).

While I'm not aware of any other companies that are doing this type of direct to consumer testing, companies like Myriad have offered targeted panels on some of these gene targets for some time.

Are you sure this is what happened?

I ask because we interview lots of candidates who always jump straight to their favorite data structure. Given any algorithmic question, they'll immediately create an instance of their pet data structure (usually it's a HashMap), without specifying the types of keys or values. They can't explain why they're choosing this, and continually try to shoehorn the problem into it even when it makes no sense.

This interview doesn't sound nearly that bad to me. It sounds like you were discussing the advantages / tradeoffs for your choices, given various performance considerations. How do you know they considered you "wrong"? Maybe they were seeing how you reacted to being pushed.
It has an "atmosphere"
It's 0.00628 atm according to Wikipedia. That's effectively a vacuum. You can't have liquid water on Mars.

This relies on being able to accurately identify poor performing engineers, which is very tough at a big company. What I've seen happen is they hang around for a year or two, jump from failed project to failed project, until they either find a niche role where they can do no harm or run out of options and get fired -- but at that point they have a year or two on their resume and will find it that much easier to get the next gig.

Good question, one that probably has less to do with what Google wants, and what the music industry requires. If you turn off the screen, the "video" is indistinguishable from an audio stream. So they want to track for terms of royalties paid per "listen".

This is only feasible on a subscription basis (no one has a good microtransaction model with actual payments) and so Google and the music industry limited the feature to only subscription based.
In many ways reflecting the notion of privilege. The "valids" gained much of their quality of life benefits due to the nature of their conception rather than the nature of their person. Similarly, the "in-valids" were denied those things for the same reason.

This is mostly unrelated to the main topic of the article, but this paragraph caught my eye:

> For example, Padavic et al. [20] found that the "work-family" narrative in business is an example of a social defense: people will say that women leave the workplace because of "family", despite the large amount of evidence that women leave their jobs because of inadequate pay or opportunities
for advancement [20], particularly when they see male co-workers promoted ahead of them. The "work-family" narrative is a more palatable explanation rather than to confront sexual discrimination in the workplace, and so the narrative continues.
>
> [20] I. Padavic and R. J. Ely. The work-family narrative as a social defense, 2013.

I tried to track down the work by Padavic et al. that Patitsas et al. are citing, and found this:

http://www.hbs.edu/faculty/conferences/2013-w50-research-sym...

However, this article by Padavic et al. is actually saying something different from the way that Patitsas et al. summarized it. Padavic et al. appear to actually be arguing that the work-family narrative is a social defense against the uncomfortable truth of excessively long working hours for both genders at the corporation, not against any uncomfortable truth about sexual discrimination. Also, Padavic et al. don't seem to discuss sexual discrimination in wages or promotions at all.

Did Patitsas et al. make an error in citing their sources? Am I missing something?
