I went to Burning Man twice. What I found the last time was that it was so biiiiig that it was hard for me to have fun. Large traffic jams getting into and out of an event just aren't my cup of tea. I also stayed for a very long time in a tent; if I were to go back for longer than a 2-3 days, I'd need to stay in an RV.

What I did realize, though, is that in order to really get the most out of Burning Man, I'd need to really get into the culture. People get into Burning Man like they get into their churches, where there are lots of social events. Ultimately, the groups that enjoy Burning Man the most are large groups of extended friends that like can be found in a small church.

The hardest thing with Burning Man, IMO, is the participatory prep. Meaning, the easy part of the prep is like planning for a long camping trip. What ultimately is required for me to be more than a tourist is much more than what I was able to do as an introverted person who just doesn't like to make artwork or run games for other people.
I interviewed with them 2 years ago, as well as a couple of months ago. 2 years ago I would have rated the experience as "fine". My most recent experience was great, however. Very organized, lots of communication on Google's part, and I had a great interviewer. They have definitely made improvements.
Sorry to hear that OpenTable's moving out of Chattanooga.

I was in Chattanooga from 2013-15 and have nothing but good things to say about their team. Most notably they ran a functional programming meetup that covered pretty advanced topics but was still inclusive to beginners. I'll remember the encouragement I got there for a long time.

If anybody who cares about the Chattanooga tech scene reads this: do your best to keep the OpenTable team intact. A lot of the programming community's enthusiasm is either directly coming from or being encouraged by them.

DISCLAIMER?: I was in Chattanooga a couple weeks ago and they gave me a bunch of useful, free advice on my current project. This isn't really a disclaimer though because IMO it just reflects even better on them.

From the article:

> Nasreen Bano Iqbal Balesahib, 59; and her sons Nadeem Iqbal Balasaheb, 30, and Shain Iqbal Balasaheb, 25, were arrested on Wednesday evening as they were listed as the owners of MAC Outsourcing Services Private Limited - the company that ran Universal Outsourcing Solutions, which is one of the raided companies. Incidentally, the raided M Bale House belongs to the family.

Owned a company and the building which housed the company. That argument rings even more hollow.

At 21, your title is just meaningless words to sucker you into working longer hours. The unfortunate thing for the author is that he thinks he's learned something about being a good PM, but he's really just learned how to be a good junior; "listen to the experts and leave your ego at the door".

To me a product manager needs to have vision and empathy. Vision, to know where the product needs to be in 5 years. And empathy to be able to truly understand your users needs. From the article, it doesn't sound like the author learned these things.

Not that I like anti-discrimination or wrongful termination laws anyway, though I am willing to compromise. I suggest a compromise to only include certain kinds of jobs like manual labor under employment anti-discrimination laws, where workers are actually commodities that are measureable and interchangeable.

Yeah, Gannett started limiting remote workers when Yahoo did. They followed in Yahoo's footsteps because to upper management it sounded like a good idea. Get everyone together!

...except for developers who were already largely working between remote teams anyway and caused some fellow employees with family and health responsibilities but were still good developers to have trouble and eventually leave the company. Cutting out existing options and freedoms to employees does not in any way help the culture of a company. I don't work there any more but every developer was very upset that I talked to at the time.

Any company I work for in the future I want at least the ability to work remote. I personally enjoy being in and around coworkers, but there were a few times when I wanted to work remote for periods of time to help with family. Being in an office can help _certain types_ of work - but it doesn't help all types of work, and development is one that can be remote.
I've never encountered this sentiment regarding usenet. Or maybe I'm misinterpreting your comment? Do you mean that knowledge of, and participation on usenet is elite/special? I find it fascinating if that is what you mean. I was born in the 80s and never really had that feeling from anyone in my circle of friends; more like, "Hello! What is wrong with you? We have forums on the web now."
I'm really into this... I have a goal of one day figuring out how to save, render and manipulate 4+ dimensional voxel graphs with unlimited depth. When I say unlimited, I mean that there could be procedural elements at any depth.

Basically, I'm talking about some kind of voxel representation that is more or less "scale invariant".
Nothing wrong in duping rich Americans, but using adblocker is real crime, says this website.
The problem is that industry has coopted the term data analyst to mean something more like data reporter or data descriptor. There often isn't a difference between business intelligence and data analyst. Many data analysts are using tools like Excel, and don't have good programming skills. A data scientist will generally be involved with prediction, and use more sophisticated tools than Excel. This isn't to knock on data analysts (or Excel), they do good and useful work. The proof is in the numbers - a data scientist makes a significantly higher salary than a data analyst. Similarly quantitative analyst got taken over by finance. The term statistician is actually pretty accurate (data science is basically applied statistics), but usually people don't call themselves statisticians unless they have a degree in statistics. With that said, the term data scientist is not at all well-defined, and the field is quite diverse.

Because I used to live there and know the electric company was, prior to being acquired by a bigger one, well run by engineers (a good idea if you have nukes...), I expected their power rates at (eventual) massive data-center scales to be good.

While I'm not sure I believe the "We're Great!" first thing I found with Google indicating the possibility of a rate even lower by a few tenths of a cent, it looks good ... except of course per Google the exchange rate is running 1-0.75. Still, their power should be pretty affordable, I'd more worry about tradeoffs in more expensive real estate vs. easier hiring of talent and the other advantages of being in a major telecom metro area.

And their are other advantages as noted by others in this sub-thread, and doesn't AWS have its biggest region in NoVA?
Feminism is not about egalitarianism. Saying that is the equivalent of responding "All Lives Matter!" to BLM.

I'm not saying that Yahoo did something right or wrong (maybe qualified women started to flock to yahoo because of its female CEO? Who knows! I will let the justice system sort that one out). But I really dislike feminism constantly being watered down to mean anything other than "the advancement of women."

Like, women have a lot of issues across the globe. Women get acid thrown in their faces, get denied education, etc. etc. Feminism is about stopping all of that, NOT about egalitarianism. There's already a word for egalitarianism, why the need to make feminism mean that, too?

As Satoshi's whitepaper harps on, and, in my opinion, the biggest difference between fiat and BTC is that BTC doesn't answer to a government. That may have a premium or a discount attached to it. But if that's not an attractive reason for someone to use BTC, then yeah, we need to look at fees like you are talking about.

Because it often breaks accessibility tools used by the blind, for instance.

It also has a potential to break the social contract that copyright is based on. Copyright doesn't last forever, but most DRM schemes that I know of don't suddenly go away when the copyright term ends.

As others have noted, you do it the same way EEOC and other orgs test for hiring discrimination based upon race or gender. You submit equal resumes (appropriately updated for age in this case) and see what response you get. You take a look at the company org details and do a few simple statistical runs to see how things net out. Since this is a protected class we are talking about it is a lot easier to make your case based on statistical evidence. "Gee your honor, it is purely a coincidence that all of our employees are <male/white/under-30>"...

I worked for a company with this same process. When I became middle management there, I was told I couldn't give all 5s even if I felt they were earned because "there's always room for improvement".
I guess I dont think anyone has EVER earned the right to have an "inflated self opinion". Acting like a jerk, being entitled and demanding things are never something earns. That's just not ok behavior.

I talk to people about interview stuff, I notice that most people who say "I shouldn't have to know X" seem to be the least intellectually curious, least great problem solvers and just generally combative folks. If you are going into an interview with a serious chip on your shoulder, demanding a job, asking to exempt yourself from having to show problem solving skills, then just how is that going to work out?

Regarding reversing a binary tree, yeah, the interviewer didn't expect you to know it. That's the point. It's something that's a little tricky, not impossible, requires you to be precise about memory ownership and pointers, and algorithmic. It takes no time at all to describe, and isn't impossible to solve. Yeah it's problem solving, but it's not random trivia. It's a functional test of your intelligence and yeah it filters out some who should be at Google, and they know it. However relaxing the bar is fraught with peril. You're quite literally banking the future of the company on it.

Appreciate the tips. In case you don't have it, here's the reference showing all the VMS stuff in NT:

Be interesting at some point to collect all the attributes of NT to see what came from VMS, OS/2, UNIX, DOS, Win 3.x, etc. Then one might also see how it could be done even better esp without baggage. :)
Xenix had a DOS compatibility layer called VP/ix.

Agreed, if there was a way to grow them on synthetic media then we can do away with just about all of the negative externalities of livestock farming.
Woman here: If it turns out to be true, then yeah, that is absolutely sexist and is absolutely 100% bullshit. That's the point of wanting equity for everyone: being a woman or being a man should have no bearing on whether or not you can do the WORK, so if that starts to be a point of consideration then yeah, that's kinda inherently sexist. Just like men getting the side eye when they want to be elementary teachers or women in stockrooms getting asked if they need help carrying something.
The litmus test for me on whether we're adding adding value as an education company has always been: are there Insight Fellows who get rejected from companies X,Y,Z prior to Insight then get offers from X,Y,Z after Insight? From the very first session through to today, we have numerous examples each session of this happening.

A recent example was a Data Science Fellow who was a physics postdoc at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab prior to Insight. Right after his postdoc ended, he applied to half a dozen bay area tech companies (all the usual brand name suspects), got rejected from all of them. He came to Insight and during his fellowship built a video scene segmentation & object detection project with a YC startup. After Insight he got an offer from every one of the companies he previously got rejected from. He went on to accept an offer on the LinkedIn data science security team (which is led by another Insight alum).

We’ve seen this happen time and again on the software engineering side as well with our data engineering program. A Data Engineering Fellow prior to Insight has a generalist software engineer experience but a passion for big data, wants to do big data full-time, but no one will take a chance on her/him. At Insight they build a sophisticated data pipeline on AWS, while being mentored by leading data engineers, and then the same companies previously rejecting that Fellow for data engineering roles make offers because they now have the evidence they need that she/he can solve the types of specialized problems the company is facing.
If the two applicants have equal qualifications and you only hire the younger applicant then you are going to be open for an age-discrimination lawsuit. Being older and having a shorter relevant work experience is the sort of 'red flag' that puts you on the losing side of these lawsuits, as the two candidates are manifestly equal by definition here other than differences in age. You can't say "person X is older and should therefore have more work experience, so we will pick person Y" and expect to not end up spending the next few years in court.
Thanks for the pointers, that last bit on quantization especially.

I'm not so sure that haivng a standard way to connect DRM to a browser is changing the Overton Window. It's a technical standard that no users are actually looking at. What percenage of the population would even know the difference between a NPAPI plugin and a HTML5 interface for DRM? If you went on the streets and asked people if they feel less in control of their media because the W3C approved a standard replacement for NPAPI in browsers, would anyone even understand what you're talking about?

There are historical examples where weak DRM became standard and never got replaced. Look at CSS for DVDs. It was broken early on, but nobody bothered to replace it because it was already standard and the hardware was out there for it. Yes, there's different copy protection on Blu-Ray, etc., but a lot of people still use DVDs, and they can easily back them up because of weak encryption.

There's definitely a lot of benefits to creating a culture that values personal control, but I'm just not sure this is working. I want a DRM-free world as much as anyone, but the message is muddled and people just want their Netflix. If Mozilla and the W3C both came out against it, Chrome, Safari, and Edge would still support it, and I think all it would do would make Firefox lose even more market share. I would love to see some evidence that it would come out another way.
"The issue is that the Apache Foundation have been used as a dumping ground for "unwanted" projects."

Not quite... instead, Apache has been used by some projects to give it a "kick-in-the-pants" and a renewed opportunity to grow and thrive. The ASF wouldn't take on any "dumped" project unless that opportunity was there. It's what the whole Incubation process is about. Sure, sometimes it doesn't pan out, but that is far from it being a place where projects "go to die".

As far as "who thinks about Hadoop ... being ... Apache", well, everyone should. We kind of stress that people correctly make such attributions. As someone who clearly knows that Hadoop is under the ASF, you, for example, instead of perputuating FUD about Apache could be reminding people about the slew of incredibly successful, innovative and forward-think projects that live there.
This article actually points out that the IQ/fluid intelligence increase findings from the original Jaeggi paper about dual n-back failed to be replicated.

> Finally, at the end of the study, we gave everyone different versions of the cognitive ability tests. The results were clear: the dual n-back group was no higher in fluid intelligence than the control groups. Not long after we published these results, another group of researchers published a second failure to replicate Jaeggi and colleagues’ findings.

As an engineer at Google, this comment is correct. Some teams use it, but since most the development happens on Linux desktops, and not Macs, therefore Homebrew is not as commonly used as normal dev shops.

Basically the internal dev environment is already fully complete and works great. It's ultra custom and there are strict rules about bringing in open source code. The AGPL and GPL3 are good, but also one has to be wary about them in a commercial environment.
