Now take into account stress, lack of preparation, environment the person is not used to, unusual syntax patterns for them, biases against them, their way of talking, their appearance, etc. and you get yourself people good at your kinds of interviews in your biased view. You can only hope they are at least average at their job.
TL;DR for those put off by the giant block of un-paragraphed text: The ancient Romans didn't have a 'U' letter, and used 'V' instead. 'U' didn't enter widespread use in English until the 18th century. Courthouses are often designed in a neoclassical style and sometimes use 'V' for 'U' as part of the throwback style.

> who cares?

I think a lot of people are asking that question, and the answer seems pretty clear to me: people care because this echo chamber effect seems to vastly increase the divide between groups. It makes it easier to dismiss opposing views as crackpot and evil who disagree because you're always surrounded by a steady roar of agreement. That increasingly bitter divide, and the accompanying increasingly entrenched and unswerving beliefs, are things I find deeply worrying.

Social media didn't invent this, of course, but it's made it much more prevalent.
Even if it only works for problems that are trivially solved by people, the fact that it can be done automatically is useful. A system could react to changes and some new problems automatically by continually retraining itself.
There used to be a game online (that was popular in my childhood) called Kung Fu Chess[0] -

This removed the "Turn Based" application of Chess and instead made it real-time online - with only a period of 1-5 seconds of waiting to be able to move a piece again, depending on your settings.

The other "novel" feature was the introduction of a 4 player chessboard - it added to the strategy having three other opponents all looking to get the jump on you.

The game unfortunately shut down in 2008 - not sure where it ended up.

I currently have 16 apps deployed via Dokku on my 8GB Linode and am pretty happy with it. I have a wide variety of apps installed: Node, Django, Rails, and Elixir (Phoenix).
That's precisely what we wanted, and we tried a lot of different options. Flynn was the answer, definitely worth a try.

Thanks for the detailed feedback! We cleaned up the homepage a bit and added a bit more of what the product does, but its probably still missing some details.

We will definitely reach out to you soon, thanks for the offer.
I just tried taking the article's advice, and running mypy on some of my code (completely unannotated) to see what came up. Some interesting things have, already made 3 patches.

One comment to the article author: Tell people how to install mypy. I started by trying 'pip install mypy', then wondered why I didn't end up with a mypy executable (you need pip3 install mypy-lang, mypy is an unrelated package).
I think it solves a problem we have (if my understanding of your product is correct): We should focus less on the future and more on the present and past. That will save time and make for better progress evaluation.

In our team, we're managing upcoming work by epics, features, user stories and tasks (TFS style), all ahead of time. For the latter two, ages are spent estimating, in the process having feelings about risks. We're left with a bunch of tasks that only partially describe what we eventually realize needs to be done, leading us to choose between sticking to the tasks, thus producing a nice burndown chart, or doing what's best for the project.

For our team, the devs just want to know if we are spending our time in the best way possible:

1) What are we going to focus on today? Not completing, just focus on. That's mostly enough to align efforts.
2) What did we focus on yesterday, and can we evaluate progress? Steady? Slow? Stuck?
3) What did we actually end up focusing during the past week? Did we side track often or have to change direction?

However, without the future aspect, management probably wont bite, making this a tough sell. So maybe consider something that marries the two: Some high level future planning, breaking work down to epics and features only, and some focus tracking for daily alignment and performance evaluation.

My favorite part of this scary tale is the assumption
that a general AI would be highly motivated.

Largely by definition, we can't stop a superintelligent agent from doing what it wants to do. We could build 9 strong agents in a row that just gazed at their navels and proved graph theorems all day, but if the 10th one managed to turn the "motivation" dial all the way up during hyperparameter tuning, then it'll wipe us out in its quest to build more computers so it can prove more theorems.

No such thing as news without bias — all content reflects the biases of its creators. Even if somehow there were no bias reflected in the article/video itself, there's always bias in which news is presented.

I think the best thing to do is to get news from multiple sources (at least 3). The truth is somewhere in between.

It's far more than a tongue lashing. Look, this is how these folks assemble footage to run on and such. One New York pol ( Meeks? ) called WF a criminal enterprise.

I didn't say it would excuse anything. He's responsible. There were bad actors within WF. Some people ( presumably there's correlation between that and who was a bad actor ) were fired. I don't mean the people who were fired under the compensation structure.

This might take a while. They have 265,000 employees. If it's O(n) and each case takes thirty man-minutes, that's
66.25 man-years.

I don't know any other context than the congressional hearings. But this appears to be a sacrificial resignation.

"Ungodly sums of money" is quite the (non) standard. I hold that the cultural failings and biases that cause us to cause the existence of these behemoths are still with us.

Why are we still talking about compensation policy? Can't we figure out how to pay people? This is clearly a case of gamification of a variable compensation policy.

What's behind that "Can't we figure out how to pay people?" Isn't that what's at issue in general? Isn't that what drives the debate over inequality? There's Something Wrong. With us.
Why it is important to know the difference between statically and dynamically typed languages? If one writes in only one of those (or one set) it is not important to him/her and doesn't specifically make him/her a worse programmer in that particular language.

My company has been giving the fizzbuzz for students applying for internship, with any language they wish and extra for style points.

The results speak for themself. All the good applicants do it in no time, without hesitation and give a perfect answer and usually some style points on top. The ones who have second grade coding skills have always something wrong with it.

It's a good 5 minute test whether someone can code or not. It shouldn't be the only test, of course.

This is one thing I really liked at Amazon. The SDM at Amazon were very focused on the human side of management and left the project management to PM/TPM.

I drink once in my life. When I was 20. Why? I was interested in what being drunk felt like from a scientific perspective. Upon drinking all the liquor I could find in the house, the room began to spin and I didn't like the feeling of not being in control so I found the nearest couch and passed out.

I often wonder if I am programmed differently than other people. Peer pressure has never really had any effect on me. When people would try to convince me to drink, I would grab a root beer and relish in the joy of drinking something that not only tastes great (not having to acquire a taste for) but did not result in a loss of my inhibitions. (Yes, I am well aware of the argument that sugar and soda are probably far worse than occasionally drinking).

Growing up I often pondered the reasons why people begin drinking: Peer pressure, wanting to fit in, the need to feel cool, etc. None of these things every pushed me in the direction of needing to drink.
I got these questions when being interviewed for SWE and SRE. My answers suggested to the interviewer that I should go down the SRE route. I passed in the end, because I felt the culture regarded everything as a technical problem (which has worked out for them so far) and Google was a company where you did things their way, and don't rock the boat.
So you're basically saying that all babies in the womb should be regarded as having an illness. The illness being whether or not the mother chooses to terminate the pregnancy in an unnatural way.

Just think about that, the stark unnaturalness of abortion. What other animal acts in such a way? There is nary a stronger force in nature than a mother's protection of her young.

What is it about our society that compels women to do this?

Does it have something to with the mixed messages being sent to women telling them they should act like men?

Then by that logic, they should be arguing for organ donation to be mandatory.

The crux of the illogic in this is that, left to take the natural course a baby is more often than not, not going to die.

Whereas a terminal kidney disease patient, resulting from particular circumstances will die without intervention.

Tell that to a woman who gets pregnant from being raped.

I thought of that as I wrote that,(almost added a parenthetical). I think we can both agree that that is an edge case. An over-attention on edge cases can cloud our thinking about the larger issues.
Lisp has an extremely strong type system for values (in fact every value is a structure that includes a tag that says its primary type) but zero type checking for variables (a variable can have as its symbol-value literally any value at any time), other than the type hints you provide (which by the spec the compiler is free to ignore). I think a lot of static type systems don't sufficiently appreciate that those are two different questions.

1) Again I'm not talking about verification of whoever is on the other side of the conversation, its about hijacking the account (whether by breaking into the Tel-Co system or having access to it using a court order). There are other means to verify the person you are talking to (signing a message in the beginning of conversation using another app or software) but if all that it takes for someone to have access to my account is to get a copy of that text (containing authentication code) I'm not sure if anyone can call this secure. IMO this security flaw is far more important than having E2E. I hope I was able to differentiate between authentication and verification.

2) If you are using this app, you are forced to give up a copy of all you contacts and also the app is scanning for new contacts several times every hour! If this was an opt in option, I wouldn't have any issues with it. Some people might favor convenience over security as is their right but forcing a social graph of all your friends (almost in all cases without even a simple warning) out of you because you simply want to use the service is frankly disturbing.

3) Unluckily, there are no apps that have such strong E2E standard while implementing the points I raised.

What I'm more concerned about is EFF's bar to endorse a platform with such bug flaws.
Amazon has also halted sales of the 2.0 bottled drink as people were reporting issues with newer shipments. Super disappointed as I just started drinking it. I hope they can get it resolved quickly. Might have to try one of the powdered alternatives.
You can also think of virtualization in terms of redundancy. If you can break out of userspace and into the kernel, you now have to break out of the hypervisor (which has a smaller attack surface) in order to escape a very constrained environment. And by hypervisor I really mean the kernel module, because the device emulation is also running heavily constrained through pledge/seccomp/SELinux/whatever.

I could say pretty quickly it's somewhere around 12 billion decimal but an exact answer on paper would take me some time...

The amazing thing is that everyone thinks they're hiring the best people while it's pretty much never true. Generally speaking a place that pays well, treats people well and has challenging work will have better people than a place that doesn't and the hiring practices ability to filter beyond that are negligible.

OOPS 128 billion :)
This seems a bit strange. I know some senior Google folks who spend a ton of time interviewing. Could it be that these are maxed out, and that HR people are forced to do the initial screens? In that case it's best to just feed them the simplest accurate answers possible. Similar to taking the SATs.

This type of process does imply something about their recruiting funnel. HR people asking technical questions suggests they've historically passed too many technically deficient people to overworked senior engineers.

I'm not a naturally extroverted person, but when I drink I trend more towards that personality type. I spend less time overanalyzing things and I am more engaged with the people around me. In a way it "dumbs me down" and makes me think a bit less, which makes me more social, whereas the completely sober me would sit there lost in my own thoughts.

>Immigration is a huge issue, and I really thought the GOP was turning the corner on it, but it's all fallen apart since the GOP decided it would rather pander to an angry white base.

Amnesty for current illegal immigrants + improved border security and visa enforcement, so that it never happens again, is the obvious answer to the immigration problem. What many people don't know is that the American people were sold on just that in 1986. It was a great compromise, a great humanitarian action, worthy of a great nation.

Too bad it was a total lie. Amnesty was granted, but the improved enforcement never came. The Democrats were happy to keep importing voters and keep a hot-button issue alive. The Republicans were happy to keep importing cheap labor. The people, who wanted an end to uncontrolled immigration, were the suckers. Sanctuary cities that refuse to hand over dangerous criminals for deportation, and a federal government that usually declines deportation anyway, have only added fuel to the fire.

The people are totally right to refuse to be fooled again.

>But I believe that climate change is real.

The funny thing is that the people beating the drums of climate panic tend to be the same ones that are opposed to nuclear power, which is the easiest and most obvious solution that doesn't require crippling our economy.

>I believe that religion has no place in government or political discourse.

I disagree completely. The government should certainly not favor one religion over another, but the religions are the source of our moral values, even for most of the non-believers among us. We take for granted just how much Christianity has shaped our secular culture and morality. If you believe in your heart that abortion is the taking of a human life, then you have a duty to fight to end it.

>I believe that marijuana has medicinal benefits and that the War on Drugs has been a colossal waste.

I agree for the most part, but I've lately had doubts about my previous position that we should just legalize all drugs. Drugs like heroin and meth and cocaine rob people of their agency, of the will to direct their own lives. They should not be available for purchase.
Do you have a comparison chart or something lining Flynn up against Azure/Heroku/Google App Engine somewhere?

I know it's probably not as feature-complete as those other PaaS's, but it would be great to get it at a glance.
Let's apply your interpretation. In this case, they are evaluating the social skills of someone who will direct projects by bright engineers. They will aldo interface with management about it. There's a lot of skills involved sith associated interviewing strategies, certifications, etc that might be employed.

Instead, the interviewer asks algorithmic questions, gets great answers, explains they're not on his sheet, and rejects the person. This is the total opposite of kind of social problems an engineering lead or project manager deals with. Plus, the requirement of keep guessing until your answer matches a sheet doesnt reflect how goals or requirements are done.

If this was assessing social or management skills, then it's the worst method I've seen to assess it. It still is a horrible result.

The main things that support the credibility of these mails is that:

- If they were fake (i.e., not real e-mails that were stolen), the people involved wouldn't be blaming the hack on the Russians. They'd be saying they were fake.

- Hillary Clinton actually addressed some of the issues brought up in one of the e-mails during the last debate (the excerpt from her Goldman Sachs speech in which she talked about saying different things in public and private). If the e-mails were fake, she'd just say so and not feel the need to justify what she was quoted as saying.

"Seems trivial to edit/create text files purporting to be stolen email..."

It would be a lot of work to create thousands (maybe tens of thousands by now) of fake e-mails that could plausibly come from John Podesta and the people he exchanged e-mails with. And unless the fakes were created by a group of insiders who knew these people and their dealings very well, there would inevitably be all sorts of errors that would make the fakes easy to disprove. (Remember that all these e-mails are published on Wikileaks' web site, and anyone can pick through them if they want to try disproving them.)
