Well I described one in the message you replied to: the value of a person is derived solely from their value to the polity (I am glossing massively so no nitpicking on the wording: you can go read yourself as he is widely translated). And I think his approach to observation is lame even when compared to his contemporaries, thus I don't agree with Bluestrike2's defense.

And yes my view of him is formed in its context. Classical Greek society was profoundly weird by contemporary western standards, the closest analogy most people might understand might be 8th century islam. I always get a laugh when I see Greece portrayed in film, or cited by a politician: sure, I can and do draw a line philosophical from Athens to London, but but it is almost incomprehensible today without study. Then again I feel the same way when I see physics or computing in film.

There's another important piece of context Bluestrike2 mentions though you might have missed it: the modern view of science is very recent the result of several profound revolutions / dislocations / breakthroughs. Apart from the lovely lack of specialization, 2-3K years ago, philosophical (AKA scientific) theories were discussed more in essay form, like literary criticism rather than through reasoned debate, somewhat rigorous analysis and euclidean-style proof from postulate and theorem. I have read some Vedic era Sanskrit disputations on the nature of zero and they suffered from the same thing.

And yet, all that being said, I think Aristotle doesn't deserve the level of good press he gets. Though frankly my writing on this thread is more than I have really thought about him in 35 years. He simply doesn't have contemporary impact that many of this predecessors do on my daily life.
In this GitSense iteration, Bitbucket Server users can now do what GitLab and GitHub users have been able to do for quite some time, which is browse their code with a tree. Code browsing with a tree was something I really needed myself, so this feature sort of killed two birds with one stone.
if someone is unaware of CAP, they're unlikely to have been working in an environment where it was relevant. if this same person starts working in an environment where it's relevant, i'd wager that it will be hard to remain unaware.
I find it gets easier, the older I get. Right now we're bottle-feeding a hydrocephalic calf named "Georgie". He can't stand up for more than 30 seconds or walk in a straight line (and therefore would have died if left with his mother), but he will produce a fair amount of veal. Probably not enough to make up for the $3500 we could have gotten selling him as a young bull!
> If you do not know the complexity class of the bubble sort then you probably do not a have formal CS education. It also follows that it is possible that when you see a similar bad solution then you are not able to recognize it as such.

This is absolutely absurd. I have a CS degree from Berkeley (universally considered one of the best CS programs in the world), and I spent the last few years on an unusually CS-focused team within Google (specifically, artificial intelligence). Off the top of my head, I could easily imagine not remembering what exactly bubble sort is. What's the use of retaining the details of an algorithm that's literally held up as the "don't do this" solution to sorting? The most I can imagine being useful is knowing the theoretical best case average complexity of a sort. And my job is wayyy more CS-focused than the average engineering job at Google (let alone elsewhere). You heavily overestimate how useful rote memorization is to real-world productivity.

Whether a candidate _understands_ these concepts, on the other hand, can actually be illuminating. If you described bubble sort to someone and asked him to describe the complexity, then you're getting all the signals you're describing about CS understanding and education. (though there's controversy about the usefulness of these skills as well)
> Yet proposing a better, widely useful and backwards compatible alternative is extremely hard.

we keep inventing new stuff, but always end up just using it to emulate and display terminals in new and interesting ways.

even my new, shiny 4G LTE + iOS + touchscreen mobile device is used to run a terminal emulator over ssh half the time. i've even use its web browser to run a web RDP session .. to display a terminal console.

i think there's just something soothing about a screen full of text. it's a very efficient way of displaying information.
Huawei was banned from government contracts, not from the U.S. [edit: afaik]

Also, it appropriated so much of Cisco's IP (quite poorly), at least as it was establishing itself as a network equipment vendor, that I wouldn't call Huawei innovative, not back then.

It was a pretty clear case of cloning very expensive tech for a dime with MASSIVE government support.

Thank you for this. It's an odd mistake, since brogues are so easily identifiable.
Well, by that measure it doesn't even matter if a drive fails with 10% or 5% probability beyond the replacement costs. Because a test with 50% sensitivity effectively halves the failure rate you have to use.

Since it's all probabilities, triple redundancy does not guarantee complete absence of data loss. On the other side of the spectrum, single replication might offer a better cost/safety ratio for some applications.

A failure that is known in advance is equal to no failure in these term and even when discrete, it will make the difference once in a while.

A related Google story:- In Canada, I used to have a rooted nexus device which used to be my daily driver until I choose to switch over to Apple around 2 (maybe 3) or so years back. Before moving to Australia, I totally wiped it all up, and yesterday fired it up and setup a fake email account on Gmail to access Play store. It does not have a SIM card, but the fake email account asked for my Phone Number verification, and had my Canadian number already pre-filled. I was totally creeped out. I am out of explanation, except maybe connecting to my Canadian Wi-Fi address after wiping it all up (But wifi was used by 5 other people too). I have never used it to call anyone up after wiping it, and haven't had SIM card in it since. It runs Cyanogen too. You cannot deceive Google, it is futile. I will just stop at running ublock origin and ghostery in my browser, until they deceive me too. Nowadays, you cannot even create an email account on gmail or outlook without giving away your phone number. The scale is not titled towards us.

It depends on what X,Y and Z are.

What you may like about go if you come from:

python/ruby: go is faster and allows you to write concurrent code
php/js: go is faster, concurrent, and its designers were competent
c/c++: go is simpler and prevents some common mistakes, compiles faster
java: go is faster and simpler. garbage collection is less of a problem
rust: go is simpler, compiles faster, io/task switching might be faster
functional languages: go is simpler, for some its faster/more predictable

What you may not like if you are coming from:

python/ruby: go is verbose, you'll need much more code to express the same thing. Many libraries/frameworks are missing. more advanced concepts will be hard/impossible to express in elegant way. Long list of language features is missing.
php/js: can't think of anything, everything is better
c/c++: no access to c/c++ libraries, many language features missing. You cannot write operating system in go. It has GC
java: no access to java libraries, lot of missing language and platform features, verbosity
rust: lot of missing language features, verbosity, sloppy attitude to code correctness and safety, GC, slower generated code
functional languages: Any functional language features are missing

So you may come for speed or simplicity (meaning low-level primitiveness, not high-level elegance)

> the integration of rich graphics and video give an important story an appropriately compelling presentation.

Or from the other perspective, rather than simply presenting the facts and letting the reader judge the story's import, the "digital magazine experience" and "rich graphics and video" manipulate the reader's emotional state and seed his response. In other words, not journalism, but activism.

"But this is The Intercept," you might say, "the guys who exposed the NSA's malfeasance!"--or in other words, the ends justify the means. And we all know where that leads, even if some of us won't admit it.
The difference is IDEs understand the underlying structure of the code, including relationships between entities, symbol types in their context, indexes for searching, and so on. That allows you to express transforms that can't be expressed if everything is just a text stream. I can grab a chunk of a function in resharper and do an "extract method", and it can figure out data dependencies, or I can do a "find usages" for a variable called "map" and not pick up every comment that has the word "map" in it, or I can move a class to a new module and let it figure out all the call sites that need to change their using statements.

Comparing unix to an IDE is like comparing a CSV file to a relational database. They both store data in tables, but you're not going to replace Postgres with grep, I hope, even though you could do very basic "queries" with grep. And unix can never be a very good IDE, comparatively, because "text streams" are not a sufficiently good data structure for representing program structure.

this is difficult for a variety of reasons.
Thanks for clearing that up.

I'm in final test on a 4.8-based product and actually put in a backdoor to replace the libraries...just to be safe and compliant. Guess the work isn't totally wasted.
I was QA prior to the advent of mandatory unit test for commit (I'm actually an SDET or tools/infra SWE nowadays, depending on hat) and, even then, untested code was mostly fine, as evidenced by the fields of green "PASS" spreadsheets.

Those spreadsheets either meant it was good when you got it or you did a crappy job testing it, and either way it was fine before being tested. Regression testing in particular is an exercise in generating "PASS" results, and historically QA practice has been dominated by regression testing.

Luckily, SW practices have changed enough that (as you say) most code is at least minimally tested by the developer and, maybe more importantly, some minimal level of unit testing is expected now as a basic professional standard. Hopefully we never move backwards again.
This is laughably wrong. Aristophanes wrote an entire comedy on the subject, "The Clouds", in the 5th century B.C.E.
STREPSIADES: But by the Earth! is our father, Zeus, the Olympian, not a god? SOCRATES: Zeus! what Zeus! Are you mad? There is no Zeus. STREPSIADS: What are you saying now? Who causes the rain to fall? Answer me that1 SOCRATES: Why, these, and I will prove it. Have you ever seen it raining without clouds? Let Zeus then cause rain with a clear sky and without their presence! STREPSIADES: By Apollo! that is powerfully argued! For my own part, I always thought it was Zeus pissing into a sieve. But tell me, who is it makes the thunder, which I so much dread? SOCRATES: These, when they roll one over the other. STRESIADES: But how can that be? you most daring among men! SOCRATES: Being full of water, and forced to move along, they are of necessity precipitated in rain, being fully distended with moisture from the regions where they have been floating; hence they bump each other heavily and burst with great noise. STREPSIADES: But is it not Zeus who forces them to move? SOCRATES: Not at all; it's the aerial Whirlwind. STREPSIADES: The Whirlwind! ah! I did not know that. So Zeus, it seems, has no existence, and its the Whirlwind that reigns in his stead? But you have not yet told me what makes the roll of the thunder? SOCRATES: Have you not understood me then? I tell you, that the Clouds, when full of rain, bump against one another, and that, being inordinately swollen out, they burst with a great noise. STREPSIADES: How can you make me credit that? SOCRATES: Take yourself as an example. When you have heartily gorged on stew at the Panathenaea, you get throes of stomach-ache and then suddenly your belly resounds with prolonged rumbling. STREPSIADES:

Yes, yes, by Apollo I suffer, I get colic, then the stew sets to rumbling like thunder and finally bursts forth with a terrific noise. At first, it's but a little gurgling pappax, pappax! then it increases, papapappax! and when I take my crap, why, it's thunder indeed, papapappax! pappax!! papapappax!!! just like the clouds.

SOCRATES:

Well then, reflect what a noise is produced by your belly, which is but small. Shall not the air, which is boundless, produce these mighty claps of thunder? STREPSIADES:

And this is why the names are so much alike: crap and clap. But tell me this. Whence comes the lightning, the dazzling flame, which at times consumes the man it strikes, at others hardly singes him. Is it not plain, that Zeus is hurling it at the perjurers?

The biggest point, really, is his outsize impact on early christianity and later Islam, which I personally can't all consider benign.

Just for reference, for people unfamiliar with the name: Wilczek also worked on the theory of anyons, the non-Abelian form of which are at the heart of Microsoft's work on topological quantum computers. (He was the one who coined the term 'anyon'.)

His work on anyons coupled with his work on time crystals makes him highly qualified to speak on what would be useful computational structures.
I had a chance to hear a lecture on Odeo by either Jack or one of the Odeo founders back in the day at Yahoo HQ.

Consider the fact that coding under pressure is hard and it probably doesn't mean that the candidate is incapable of merging two sorted lists. Right now I can think of a way to do it:

var ar = [];
ar1.map(function() { ar.push(arguments[0]); }
ar2.map(function() { ar.push(arguments[0]); }

However, under pressure it's so much different than responding to a comment. This is for sure a great question to ask.

For those of us challenged by so many zeros, that's about $13,000 per human being, ostensibly to be spent over the next 15 years.

For the US, that'd be a cost of ~$4.8tn, or, just over $300bn annually for the next 15 years. Spending that much would represent an increase of about 8% of the US government budget for 15 years, and have to be funded by raising taxes, cutting spending elsewhere, or borrowing.

On the plus side, it would all get injected into the economy and put many people to work (like some of those disenfranchised men who were a topic yesterday [and the disenfranchised women who apparently weren't] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12649106 ). And it would hopefully thereby reintroduce inflation and the fed would raise interest rates so we could move back to a less abnormal economy. Unless, of course, that we're already in the new normal.
I don't see anything obviously wrong in any of the Dash reviews (I think this is the correct app):

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:1e3kQGL...

It also seems somewhat unlikely that a developer with such great reviews would deliberately trash his competitors.

I wonder if Apple's automated fraud detection system detected it as a false positive, simply because he got so many good reviews?
Is it genuinely offensive to be asked the complexity of bubble sort?

Offensive, no. Just trite and tedious.

And more fundamentally, simply not indicative of the high quality, (genuinely) cerebral environment the interview subject, back in the original article, is looking for.

Why be rude to the interviewer even if that is the case?

I get that it's generally better to be polite. But when the same kinds of tedious and disspiriting (and sometimes downright condescending, and/or simply time-wasting) behaviors come down the interviewing pipe, over and over again... I can understand the temptation to bypass decorum, and allow a gut-level, emotional response to surface.

Being as while we might generally prefer to keep things professional -- we're not potted plants, either.
Japan has very low rates of drug crime, and the punishment is far more lenient than the death penalty.

Both Singapore and Japan have low rates of crime in general, especially drug crime and gun crime -- two kinds of crimes that depend on criminals having access to items that are highly regulated or completely banned.

I think the conclusion to draw from this is that islands are able to control their borders pretty well, and they can prevent a lot of contraband from coming in. That alone is sufficient to explain the low rate of drug crime in Japan, where drug trafficking is not a capital crime. It's probably also sufficient for Singapore, which means that the death penalty explanation is probably overdetermined.

Thanks for the answer--it's very encouraging. Of course, I forgot the "find an equity partner" route. I could see approaching someone with money and an interest in technology but no time/talent to maintain the product. But even if you do that and negotiate an ownership share in whatever you're buying, you're more like employee #1 than a true partner. Did you guys each put up an equal amount of $ when you first started doing this?
Yes I think what corrupts this ideal is the extent to which words come to represent feelings and associations instead of facts and ideas.

Like how "literally" has come to represent the feeling of emphasis, and the association with the experience of one-upping other emphatic adjectives like "extremely."
