If you're going to be that disingenuous, men are told what to wear as well. No boardroom meetings wearing only jogging shorts, no funerals wearing flip-flops.

I grew up with a lesbian single mother during the tail end of first-wave feminism and the start of the second, so I've seen a lot of the struggles up close. It really bothers me that in the attempt to be inclusive people of muslim backgrounds, the modern progressive tends to ignore the rampant sexism in Islam.

Yes, there is still a mismatch in the west between the genders, but it's much less extreme - for example, nowhere in the western world is there anything like official morality police. Women in the western world have considerably more freedom to wear whatever they like, and while bikinis are frowned on in the workplace (so are speedos, by the way), women can still wear bikinis elsewhere, out in public. The government doesn't penalise them for wearing a bikini down Main Street, and droves of women do just that, weather permitting. In some places in the west, it's legal to go topless in public as well - like NYC. Whereas before first-wave feminism, it was considered shameful to be seen in public if you were pregnant.

The west is getting better and better at getting rid of these taboos. The islamic world is not - check out photos of Iran before the revolution, and there's plenty of muslim women without head coverings. To suggest that the issue boils down to simply where you draw the line on clothing is really disingenuous.
I mean: the independent variable is 2d and the dependent is 1d, like f(x, y), that's 3d data. By 2d I mean a pie-chart, which you _can_ display in 3d (by making a "thick pie"), but it is superfluous and detracts from the data.

I think 2d graphs are easier to graphs _are_ easier to grasp, and easier to make. Not sure tooling is the main issue, there's plenty of tools around to make 3d plots.
$525? Coincidentally that is the exact amount I paid for my first computer (in NZD though). That was two years of saving up money from delivering newspapers.

It was the TRS80 model II and model III from my fathers work that made me want a computer. My the time I had saved up a chunk of money, the ZX Spectrum was released and I could finally afford one (I waited a bit longer so I could get the 48k one). The C64 was far too expensive for me at the time.

Wasn't Facebook caught scrubbing positive conservative news stories in the past? I could see secret deals between facebook and political parties regarding the consumers of their "free" internet.
Sotto voce: I'm being sarcastically rhetorical. ;-)
Twitter and Snapchat need to merge. But their stock prices are hyperinflated.

The businesses are very similar. The products are similar. The trends are similar. Even the demographics are similar. It is a shame that Twitter can't be more, when it totally needs to be more. And snapchat can do so much better too.

But the problem might be they are tripping over the problems in front of them, not pursuing solutions to problems that lie ahead.
My mom has potted for over 40 years. We had a kiln and a wheel in our house throughout my childhood. I know a fair bit about it, even though I haven't done that much of it myself.
At the end of the day, 50 pounds weights 50 pounds. it'd be hard to lift, but to make a crappy hugely thick base with something resembling a pot on top wouldn't take much effort.

If university taught me anything, it's that most people don't seem to be just interested in learning.
The 70% Rule: How to Move Fast and Break Things (and Why You Should)
No it does not. If you received no utility for your work but instead a 1:1000,000 chance of a million incomes, you would starve to death. The math you are using does not describe reality and rational people, since about Galileo anyway, have known better than to insist on broken models.

There is a reason people are willing to buy $1 lottery tickets but not $1000 tickets. (hint: a certainty of misery or high chance of death is not compensated by a remote chance of enormous wealth of ever decreasing marginal utility)

You are simply misunderstanding the use cost benefit, I assume because it clashes with some ideological point.

But if you want to buy a one in a million chance for a trillion dollars, I have a bitcoin address you could send a million bucks too.

Unfortunately, the parties that need this most are the least likely to implement it. The usual response to a question whether or not intrusion detection or exfiltration dectection / prevention measures are installed is 'What?', which I find a much more scary answer than 'No.'.

My main takeaway was the paradox that the interesting arrangement of matter could be in its lowest energy state, yet still moving. And that no energy could be extracted from this movement.

-Using VC money, make something. Hopefully this thing goes 'viral' or really scratches an itch everyone has. Doesn't matter what it is, really.

-If you manage to have a thing people want, monopolize it. Become the only company in that sector, or at least have only 1-3 real competitors. Do whatever it takes to be that monopoly. This is an ugly process.

-Now that you are king, slowly turn down the thumb screws. Progressively add in Ads, make a premium version that is paid and then reduce the free version to squat, sell the user data, etc. Whatever it takes to make the VCs happy. This is the real trick though, and the CEO that does this is mostly a different beast than the guy that made the monopoly. You HAVE to do it, but you can't do it too fast, otherwise the users bolt. It's a real balancing act and is mostly just luck.
This is where snapchat is at now, maybe the early part of this. They have the 'cool' and the monopoly (mostly), now they gotta turn up the water's temperature.

"Can you see my code before I hire you? No."

I'm curious, but why?

Pros to letting him see the code base

- You just made an offer to this candidate, you obviously like him and think he is a good. Good candidates are expensive and time consuming to find. Recruiters will charge 40k to give you a candidate you have a 50%(this is being super generous) of hiring. Letting him see the code base probably saves you 5k-30k depending on how selective you are with candidates.

Cons

?He figures out your secret sauce based on looking at your code base for 10 minutes and builds your company from scratch and runs you out of business???
You're right. That was a strange way to phrase it, on my part.

To give you some background, I'm a 20 year old college student. By the time I was in middle school, Facebook was the hot thing for a 7th grader to have (I remember debating over MySpace versus Facebook). By my junior year of high school, it was Twitter. During my first year of college, it was YikYak.

Over the last few years I've shed most of those social networks, either by deleting the apps for them or by disabling accounts entirely. This isn't a unique experience, at least in my immediate circle of friends and peers. Snapchat is now the hot thing, and has been for a few years now.

People (not just techies!) talk about deactivating their Facebook accounts, or abandoning Twitter. I haven't even heard whispers of a similar movement with respect to Snapchat. That, to me, is a testament to the strength of its core model. What remains, then, is how we'll they'll actually hold on to that model.
It's all the same. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat. People want a free way to broadcast to their friends. Someone invents a service that does that. Slowly ads take over. Now the stream needs to be "curated". It's no longer a timeline. It's no longer sensible. Now you can no longer reliably broadcast to your friends. People search for a new service that did what the old service used to do. They don't even realize that's what they are doing, but that's what they are doing. I've done this myself now what, a half dozen times? Every 2 years you have to do it again.

It's the same damn model. It's all the same thing. Sometimes I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. Does no one see this?

Snapchat will rule until he ads take over. Your stories will slowly be interrupted by ads. Then your stories will fall out of time sync and you'll only get some updates or a "Featured Updates" or some other features that's really just a way to prioritize and guarantee ad delivery. And while this is happening someone will put out something new, that essentially does what Snapchat originally did in a slightly different format. Maybe square instead of portrait or GIF or Live Photo or whatever. But it's all the same thing. This game will continue forever.

All people want is a way to broadcast into a stream of content, and view other people's content in a timeline. That's it. It works for a while until you get too big. Then you can't pay for it and you have to start inject ads and resorting the timeline until it's no longer a timeline or it's a timeline full of all this stuff no one ever wanted or asked for.

When I was 15 I'd get home from school and run to my computer to check my favorite message board. I'd hit "New Posts" and see all the content from my friends. Cool new video game discussion, new video card benchmarks, some photos someone uploaded, some rant. Honestly, nothing has really changed in 15 years except the format of the content has been continuously updated to be technically (and culturally) relevant. But a post is still a post.

Absolutely. Facebook works with despots all over the world to contort information and works with the US to flip elections and seed political instability.

"Free" (gratis) will never be worth "free" (libre).
I find it hard to believe that monopolistic control of the media is good for the happiness of people in totalitarian regimes. By analogy I think the maintenance of the public space in common is important for the good of all. Projects like this run up against that need, and should be blocked when promoted by profit or power-seeking entities.

Net neutrality aside, let's consider the image promoted by the company. It is brazenly false advertising. A product where the user is made to do useful work for the company should cannot possibly be free to that person.

oh absolutely, there's a bad problem in security where people don't want to admit there might be a chance their controls aren't perfect, and by deploying better detect/react controls you are very much admitting that point.

So there's a tendency to downplay those requirements (what OS or application vendor is going to say "hey you should deploy something for when our security fails on you")

"One reason why space-time crystals are interesting is that their periodicity in time makes them natural clocks. So there should be plenty of people with more than a passing interesting in making one."

The problem here is that it isn't Twitter that needs to accept this but Twitter's shareholders.

Other than that I am totally in agreement with you, Twitter is a success, just not as big a success as some people hoped but that doesn't mean it needs to sell to the highest bidder either. It's just another large company making a modest profit, and there is nothing wrong with that.
When correcting someone for misquoting, you should take care to avoid misquoting yourself. Nursie didn't mention murder, and didn't mention the hijab or anything islamic in particular - though it was clearly about islam in context, the comment itself was culture-free, and was about moral relativism.

For many, probably most, people, times aren't the best they have ever been. Part of it is inequality in the distribution of the spoils of growth in productivity. Another part is that subjective well-being isn't perfectly correlated with economic facts. Maybe it's the fact relative wealth has more psychological impact than absolute wealth. Maybe they see others struggling and are empathetic. Many middle-class people may suffer from the constant fear that the loss of a job could mean an immediate and permanent drop in social standing and quality of life.

Usually, countries can react to common problems: if people are willing to forgo some income for security they can strengthen social system etc.

In the US, for some reason, people with identical experiences came to two different conclusions. The left advocates for policies "kicking up" - basically redistribution from top to bottom. The right chose to "kick down", basically trying to strengthen their competition by eliminating the competition from those considered lower than them.

These sides have fought each other to an almost perfect standstill, thanks to a few quirks in the constitution like first-past-the-post-voting and a three-legged legislative. As nothing happens, people get more frustrated etc. pp. rinse repeat.
Seems like you won't stand by the logical conclusion of the argument you've been making. Terminating a viable pregnancy is murder.
I'm arguing that you've got the direction backwards. I'm asserting that, when the basics - the stuff lower on the hierarchy - is available in abundance, the stuff higher on the hierarchy should pay better than the stuff lower on the hierarchy.

For an example, basic food costs less than a ticket to the opera. The opera is higher on the hierarchy.

> Wasn't Facebook caught scrubbing positive conservative news stories in the past? I could see secret deals between facebook and political parties regarding the consumers of their "free" internet.

Yes but it wasn't because of a secret deal (and would likely never be such). SF/SV just leans more liberal and its conservatives are generally libertarians. So, natural biases were likely the only cause and why pay for what you can get for free?

I think every Democrat would agree the GOP being killed off by the Libertarians would be a good thing simply because it narrows the scope to fighting over financial/economic issues and related civil rights issues. Rather than fighting over things like abortion and having the GOP quietly use building codes and other tricks to kill abortion clinics anyway.
> For example, I’ve told recruiters about my salary expectations and had them laugh and say “no one gives that kind of [salary/equity/vacation/benefits].” This has happened to me multiple times, most frequently when the company was offering a below-market compensation package.

This happens to men and women. Recruiters suck, it's not a gender bias in most cases, it's that the role attracts a certain kind of person.

A lot of this doesn't need to be viewed through the lens of gender. The fact is our industry has a lot of money in it and that attracts all kinds of jerks/sharks/shady people. Men deal with all of this on a daily basis as well. I'm just starting to think we don't spend as much time organizing as a group and instead just put our heads down and take it/fight through it in isolation.
Nice analysis.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4553624/hashmap-get-put-c...

It's a dumb question to be authoritative about because there are different implementations of hashmap and hashcode meaning that you can't guarantee the runtime complexity.

According to the SO answer above Java8 will be mostly O(1) but full buckets may be stored as trees meaning that they will be O(log n). But as the answer says

"So no, O(1) certainly isn't guaranteed - but it's usually what you should assume when considering which algorithms and data structures to use."

The interviewer could have explored the candidates knowledge of how hashmap is implemented, or could be implemented, which would be more rewarding than insulting and gloating.
The greater Houston area recently expanded its offering of toll roads. The effect is dramatic - it just feels like it's now possible to zip anywhere that's covered. I can only imagine the effect on carbon emissions - it has to be quite positive ( check the EPA estimates for city v. highway - there's a difference ).

However, I still see ( in cases the majority ) pulling over to hit the cash lane.

Are there that many people with credit bad enough to not be eligible for a TXDOT pass? Surely not the majority. Is it because people feel like they're being tracked? Is it some variation on a frugality exercise - sort of Dave Ramsay's "envelope" system? Maybe it's some grumpy expression of discontent with toll roads? So you're gonna sit in line to pay more, cash?

I don't get it.

You don't need a "Custom test-version" of every class. If you're using dependency injection you can create a "Custom test-version" only for the things that sit at the border of your domain and use real code for everything but those.

The classic example is again storage, suppose you use Redis for storing key-value strings.
Create an interface that has the store and get method and have two implementations of that, one that actually injects a Redis client and one that injects nothing and saves everything in a map.

Now you can test the real implementation with mocks and a real Redis if you want, but all the other tests can run on the in-memory implementation just fine and super fast. No need to mock anything.

I've found mocks useful to exercise interactions (and Mockito is awesome), but once you have a fake for the types at the boundary of your dependency graph you're pretty much sorted.
Uh-oh, the average USAmerican probably doesn't know what "If you aren't paying for it, you're the product" means. :/
Which they're within their rights to do, as a company. They can distort your newsfeed any way they want, they don't have to be impartial or fair.

Which is why they shouldn't be trusted as if they were a neutral party providing a utility - they're demonstrably not. Even if they intended to be, the temptation to wield the power they have towards some financial or political end would inevitably be too great to resist.
They had a "trending" feature which was mostly created by an algorithm but had some in-house editors to curate it. They would remove fake news and anything that seemed inappropriate. Conservatives complained that the editors were biased and would remove news stories that were of interest to conservatives. So Facebook fired the editors.

First jobs just out of school often suck. Mindset is vital: Understand that your story has now changed from unemployed job-seeker to 'I'm a full-stack engineer with a promising startup'...

Think of this as a paid practicum, get some forward career momentum going. Use this time to practice your craft, add to your portfolio, and build up professional contacts. Tough it out for 6 months, certainly no longer than a year.

Also, stay visible-- start regularly attending local Meet-ups. That's where you'll connect with hidden job opportunities. > http://www.meetup.com/NY-JavaScript/
Both uwsgi and gunicorn can run with type simple. Actually it's easier if they do, because you don't need pidfiles anymore. But this is not systemd specific. You need to understand the difference in behaviour, regardless which init you're using. In sysv using the wrong type basically means you're blocking the startup.

Not understanding how the daemon forking works is not the same as systemd being complicated.
And of course Facebook is considered a basic internet necessity by Facebook.
