I am tempted to try this on some unfinished projects to try to suss out their flaws that I only subconsciously am aware of.
My point wasn't necessarily that you can't get hired at Google, but that it's fairly well-documented that Google during the first decade or so of its existence explicitly favored candidates from elite school. That culture isn't something you just change overnight. I put no judgement in that fact, just that it's unlikely to produce relativly more diversity, non-conformity or original thinking compared to other hiring methodologies.

Edit: From Eric Schmidt himself:

> A few of the rules we had were: we didn’t want to hire your friends, we didn’t want to hire people from “lesser universities,” we only wanted to hire people with very high GPA’s. The constant problem was somebody was a good employee, had someone they had worked with, who was very loyal, but not from a great university, did not have a high GPA. We would not hire these people. It was controversial. We relaxed it a bit now, but the fact of the matter is it got us to the point of where we are today. They got us these intelligent generalists from top Universities.

> "Even though the actress Gwyneth Paltrow had created a best-selling cookbook and popular lifestyle blog, Mayer, who habitually asked deputies where they attended college, balked at hiring her as a contributing editor for Yahoo Food. According to one executive, Mayer disapproved of the fact that Paltrow did not graduate college."

Looking for reason, logic or restraint in lawnmowers[1] demanding utter, total and complete control and submission to their DRM demands is rather futile.

In all my time in the digital broadcasting industry, there was no logic or thought given from legal teams demand complete prevention of any kind of recording or usage beyond extremely draconian DRM terms. At the ISP/IPTV provider I worked with, at no point noone stopped and thought about how these provisions affect the users. DRM was demanded by content providers (or you didn't have content) and every year the demands for more control, spyware and lockdown of devices increased.

The fact that there is practically no concern given to fair use (which should be laid down by law, but has been trivially worked around by content providers' legal teams) means that as soon as technical DRM capabilities will expand, you'll soon only watch and listen to art on completely locked down devices that will call home constantly to make sure you've paid enough and seen enough ads. Removing DRM is already illegal under DMCA in USA anyway.

Cory Doctorow can explains and outline the utter catastrophe of modern state of DRM and draconian copyright laws better than I ever could in the new episode of The Changelog podcast [2].

This is huge news. Glad to see a sleazy offshoot reconciling with the open source community. They originally hijacked the name and tried to strong arm a lot of businesses, which seemed to hurt the arduino community.

Even though it was the biggest and most influential hobbyist electronics environment, there have been other mcu based environments popping up. Some were offshoots, such as TI's Energia, which added some innovative elements like an RTOS. Hopefully, the arduino environment moves forward even faster from now on.
That's a very uncharitable reading of my comment. I'm curious how I could provoke someone into attacking me with cinder blocks or threatening to run me over while driving in a bike lane. To me, it sounds like you're either calling me a liar or victim-blaming.

I'm not saying the cops should have used expensive equipment like helicopters. But cameras –even stationary ones– could have recorded the license plate numbers (and perhaps faces) of the drivers. In the case of the homeless man's attack, the police spent a good couple of hours getting more information. They went around the neighborhood and knocked on doors asking for footage from security cameras. A more centralized system of surveillance cameras could have tracked the man's movements and helped the cops both find and identify him.

More automation and surveillance would not ensure these people were caught, but it would increase the likelihood enough to discourage such behavior.
"That argument makes no sense. I as a user don't benefit at all if some analytics company has a contract with Facebook that allows them to access my data. If users should realistically be able to migrate to another service, they need free and automatic access to their data - which Facebook is in no way forced to provide."

That's not how it works.

You have rights and easy access to your data - always have. 3rd parties don't get my PII unless I let them. Heck, I can download a ZIP file of everything I've ever uploaded with a single click! It makes zero sense they would prevent you from getting at it, if they did, they'd be breaking their own value prop of a place to share things, which by definition means people need to be able to get at it easily.

Again, this stinks of non-customers trying to interfere with Facebook customers for dubious reasons out of fear.
I'm not sure, but there seems to be something wonky in the input images. They are very blocky, so I thought that they would be just pixel doubled (or quadrupled) from low-res pictures, but the blockiness lacks the regularity I'd expect from pixel-doubled images.

How were the input images prepared?

I am imagining treating the last commit as your staging area. Am I missing something that makes that impossible? Specifically, what is the operation that you can't map from staging to a final commit?
Thanks. I'd prefer that actually!
Just turned 30. I make $95k before taxes and I'm eight years a developer. I'm married and have two kids. We rent and have no plans to buy yet. I'm east coast.

I worry about ageism sometimes, but it still seems far off. I'm more concerned about just not getting jaded. I've been in a lot of work environments that seemed good at first, but turned out to be rather unpleasant.

I love being 30. It's a great age. I'm excited to get older, too. No desire to go back to my 20s.
To be pedantic it's guaranteed to be fully reality compliant in regard to how many EXTRA LINES of code are required (which was the context of the all caps assertion you've quoted). As Zoffix showed, it takes zero extra lines. Clearly, no language can do better than that.

But perhaps you're asking if any language can do better than the best that Perl 6 can do, assuming we're counting characters instead of lines.

Before trying to answer that, it's important to be clear on what is actually the best Perl 6 can do.

The two word solution Zoffix showed directly following the "THERE'S NO ..." slide is not the "best" Perl 6 can do.

Better is the single character operator » which Zoffix covers near the end of the talk.

That would be hard to beat but Perl 6 actually goes even further than that for what most Perl 6 folk call "auto threading", namely auto threading of junctions. This latter arguably requires zero extra characters. See https://docs.perl6.org/language/glossary#index-entry-Autothr... for more details.

In summary I'm pretty sure no language will ever do better, where better is about number of extra lines OR EVEN CHARACTERS, than zero. :)
> But why would anyone want to spend time there if it's a worse place to live than Earth in almost every regard?

People who don't agree with you about it being a worse place to live than Earth in almost every regard might want to live there. I don't think Mars is a "worse" place to live than Earth in general, though it's certainly more challenging to live there. On Earth, humans have lived everywhere it's possible to live, not just where it was easy.

Antarctica was uninhabited until comparatively recently not because it isn't a nice place to live, but because without modern technology it's basically impossible to live there. The Sahara has been inhabited for thousands of years.

The Andes and Tibet are places which are so hard for humans to live in that the populations there have genetic adaptations to help them survive the low-oxygen environment. I mention that not to suggest that Martians might evolve the ability to breathe Martian are, but that humans haven't allowed mere inhospitability to stop them living in a place: history tells us that if it's possible to live somewhere, people will live there.

I absolutely agree with you. There is good reason to differentiate staging from commits, I was just curious why he seemed to think it couldn't be done.
If you had bothered to actually read the guide, you would have learned that it was not written for the tiny fraction of the population that wants to get super-muscular, but the far larger number of people who would like to gain a moderate amount of muscle.
I've been writing Go daily for various security project for over 3 years now, and so far it's been a trusted ally. I can't remember being anywhere as productive in any other language I've used in the past.

Let's note that Go approaches boring from below; it gives rise to much copy-paste programming and some clever code generation.

I think this page (and other like this, e.g. https://quicknotes.io/n/1XB0) show that Go is no longer a "niche" language, unless you consider python and ruby a niche language.

Go is a general purpose language and people write many different kinds of programs in it: from command-line utilities to network tools like web servers and proxies and file servers to distributed databases to website backends.

As long as you keep calling it "niche" I guess we do need those kinds of articles.
And just an edit: I have 18 years of experience, and this was a pretty hefty pay cut from my last job. The full remote makes things worthwhile for me, at least.
Or any common password shared by "open" networks. If enough APs intentionally adopt the same password then they are effectively open, just with the ritual step of having to enter a password.

I doubt any competent developers are even considering Angular for new projects. Not just because of 1.x but because it's not a relevant technology anymore. Everywhere I look cyclic data is the way forward. Using Angular now is like using Backbone in 2014.
In the context of macOS, shipping out even a 75MB bundle of trusted certificates is "not significant".

Bundling it into the browser would increase the download size by a substantial percentage, but 75MB as a 'security update' distributed through the App Store is comparatively tiny versus the 1GB+ which is typical for 10.11 to 10.11.1 style updates.

The class syntax feels like they wanted to make it clear that an object is just a tagged record with a vtable. Unfortunately, it ended up looking like they were trying to design a Java-like OO system without using the word “class”.

Thankfully you can generally avoid OOP in Ada with the really well designed packages and generics. I wish they hadn't tried to tack on OOP or at least not half-assed it so much.

I agree with you about the core language. It's elegant and fun to use. The stdlib isn't too bad either. I just wish it either was explicitly GCed or explicitly not-GCed like Rust, instead of “well, it could be GCed, so we'll make pointers kind of safe but kind of not”.

I agree, but browser developers have to work with the reality that most users use Windows, and windows has no reasonable solution to handle tab equivalents, or even large amounts of windows. And windows doesn't have a good way to extend or replace the window manager to fix that.

So instead we are stuck with each program implementing their own tabs.
Probably wouldn't fly in court; the whole idea behind requiring passwords is to be able to tie a person to the device connected to the network.

" (now we can't even say "government regulation" and have to euphemistically call it "alternative solutions" as if government involvement is an act of economic deviance?)."

I presume an unregulated market is preferable to regulation at the outset, yes. Government regulation should be done in the face of systemic failures while retaining Pareto efficiency.

Put another way, I think the market can be very effective with well thought out regs. but I don't believe there are better general/default alternatives than to start with a free market and use the empirical evidence to guide policies...

"likely will get the economic equivalent of a slap on the wrist because users simply aren't technical enough to know how big of a problem this is."

I disagree that this is a case of market failure.

This is a case of "you know better than the market" and you want to force a specific outcome through regulation. But I'm not sure that's what people want.

what if people don't really care about their data being exposed all that much? It's a risk they're willing to take to use social networks. The penalty is that people might move off your service if you leak their information (as is likely to some degree with Yahoo). That to me seems to be the evidence here. That's not a market failure, that's a choice.
Have you ever heard of Golgi apparatus? Well, it is the thing in your cells that is responsible for estimating how much stress it can take (roughly speaking).

Human strength is limited not by the muscles but by the tendons and nerve signals. Here is an explanation.

When you try to lift something your body knows instantly whether it is able to do it or not. If you do not believe me, go try and deadlift an impossible weight. As soon as you start lifting it after setting up, your body will relax and will not let you. It is a protective mechanism. Now, it the weight is close to what you can handle it will let you fight the weight and attempt the lift.

Similarly, there are many occurrences where a mother will lift (with ease) concrete blocks of several hundred kilograms to save herself and her child. Perhaps the more famous one was of a man who was stuck under a huge boulder after an accident in the mountains. As far as I recall, the boulder was about 600kg. He threw it off with ease. You know what happened with him? He tore every single muscle off his bones while doing that. I am giving these examples to illustrate why such protective mechanisms exist. If they did not, we would be tearing muscles off bones daily.

Now, when it comes to powerlifters, they use low repetition and high weight precisely to increase the limits of their tendons and the power of their nerve pulses. In addition they are working the creatine-phosphate (ATF) energy capacity of their body that is responsible for very short-term work. This has nothing to do with protein. I assure you that any person is physically capable (speaking of muscles) to lift huge weights. It is just that your body will not let you.

When it comes to bodybuilders, they train their strength (tendons and bones) as well, but as a side-effect to trying to bloat their muscles.
True, but it seems like their second attempt with Instagram stories is going well.
Make sure you don't destroy your immunity/adrenal glands by overtraining. Lifting is a major source of stress and can overload your stress-coping mechanism; if you go through a phase of increased stress from work/family, tone it down or do just maintenance cardio, or else you might break down and become seriously sick.
Honestly, a more meaningful step would be to remove the Federal Circuit's exclusive jurisdiction over patent case appeals.

Normally when a federal case gets appealed, it goes to the court of appeals for the part of the country where the case originated. But appeals in patent cases go exclusively to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC). This has led to the CAFC diverging significantly from traditional interpretation of patent law and to several strong rebukes from the Supreme Court, thanks in large part to the feedback loop of primarily seeing cases from people seeking highly expansive readings of patent law. Restoring diversity to patent cases -- by having appeals go to the geographic circuit courts instead of concentrating them all in a single specialized court -- would do a lot to roll back the overzealous expansions of patent law we've seen in recent decades.

I think of it like a sales funnel:

1. A certain number of crimes are committed.

2. Of those, a certain number are relatively easy to solve (thanks to surveillance or dumb criminals or luck).

3. Of those, a certain number are actually solved by police. (Because they have the inclination and time to do so.)

I think improving (2) will help, even if (3) also needs work. Though in my experience, OPD has spent a significant amount of time and effort attempting to both document and solve crimes.

When Robinhood was first announced a few years ago, I was excited that the retail brokerage industry was becoming more accessible for a number of reasons. Most obviously, we live in a capitalistic society, and inherently those who are able to make an equity investment (whether it be in a home, a small business, a startup, or a publicly listed company) are giving themselves a better chance at long-term financial freedom if they are also able to properly diversify their investments.

Robinhood still provides a great service to those who have a relatively small amount of money to create a diversified custom portfolio, but I would highly recommend against Robinhood Gold in today's interest rate environment. If you are 25 or younger, which is a core demographic of Robinhood, you are much better of with Interactive Brokers for any type of margin account. The UI/UX leaves a lot to be desired, but you will likely save a lot of money. Let's say that you have $2000 to invest and want to borrow another $1000 for a total investment of $3000. Since you understand the importance of long term investing as well as diversification, let's assume you are going only going to make 10 trades per year (if you are making more than 10 trades per year with a $3000 account you should seriously reconsider your investment strategy). For simplicity, let's also assume your portfolio balance maintains a $3k balance. Each year you will pay:

Interactive Brokers: (max($1 x trades per month, $3) * 12) + 1.9% * $1000 = $55 per year

Robinhood: $6 * 12 = $72

Of course, this is a very specific comparison, but I encourage you to look at the total cost of a margin account for your specific situation:

I would also highly discourage anyone from trading outside of 9:30 AM to 4PM ET unless there was major news on a specific company (up to 4:15PM for the most actively traded etfs given the futures market keeps the bid/ask spreads tight).

Finally, I would encourage you to read more about the systemic risks ETFs pose to the market before deciding to use them as an investment vehicle. They provide great utility to small investors, but also contribute to liquidity risks that are still not fully understood/tested.
