Paying people to do demo work is revolutionary, I love this idea. I can't tell you how many hundreds of hours I had to put in over the last 25 years doing these "evaluation tasks" where essentially the company is getting me to put in 20 hours of work for $0. Then there's the places that use puzzles from CS courses to exclude anyone who hasn't been through CS school. Practical experience is often treated as worthless by our industry. They don't make a lawyer who has been practicing law for 25 years take some bullshit test to get a project. but in our industry the more experienced you are the more the industry diisrespects you.
Indeed. Read between the lines, but especially the last sentence.
Well then those people can refuse the pay and still take the interview.
Don't understand how typeclasses would help you here. If you want immutable single source of truth, which is what Elm provides, you would do the same thing in Javascript/React and Clojurescript/Om.

I follow the same pattern in a 10k Javascript/React app I'm working on professionally. I don't see another way of doing things. Not that I'm looking very hard, cause this really isn't a problem.
Seems like tweeting would be more of a liability than positive for the company.
Nope, because Intel can just push some binary drivers out and everyone will down it with a gargle.

The kernel patches are refused because the kernel devs expect to maintain the code for as long as there are devices in active use that need it once allowed in.

Thus they demand a proper spec for the device behavior so they can test for breakages down the line. And apparently the patches are already violating AHCI behavior expected by the kernel.

Or at least that is what i got out of reading the short ML thread.
is that the same math used for credit default swaps and CDOs?
Reminds me of The Wire: https://youtu.be/KbbZc2pab9k
I learned to drive a tractor when i was about 10 years old, and it was a blast. Nearest neighbors were a mile away. Going to the rodeo was a big deal. It was really great.

But the writing was on the wall back then. There's like 4 jobs in the country where horseback riding is useful. It's nothing more than an expensive hobby for the well off.

> The obvious rebuttal to this is that those small towns now control the government.

No, not even remotely. A billionaire city slicker controls the government.

> Maybe it's time to start taking other people's problems a little more seriously.

Eh, maybe. I don't think we need to make it so damn hard for people to get ahead, or even have a chance. But, of course, my guy lost. But maybe not. No election coming up, all there is for me to do is figure out how big my tax cut is going to be, and figure out where that goes in the IRA.

No tariff is going to make my home town thrive. There are no jobs there.

I can't help but think of the duke:

Devlin: I don't know what to say. Never begged before. Turned my stomach. I suppose I should have been grateful that you gave me the job.

McLintock: Gave? Boy, you've got it all wrong. I don't give jobs I hire men.

Drago: You intend to give this man a full day's work, don'tcha boy?

Devlin Warren: You mean you're still hirin' me? Well, yes, sir, I certainly deliver a fair day's work.

McLintock: And for that I'll pay you a fair day's wage. You won't give me anything and I won't give you anything. We both hold up our heads.

But when i tell old friends from high school to come where the work is, they just shake their heads.

My friends that are too fucking hard headed to figure out something better than drinking and bellyaching. Go back to school? Learn a new trade? fuck no.

I'll help people learn to be useful, but i'm not interested in paying someone to make saddles. Sure, it's fun. Turns out they're just not good enough at it to earn a living doing it. Do fucking something else, and make saddles as a fucking hobby. Be a goddamn grownup.

As a, as you put it, "liberal that regards rural people with contempt", i think these three things would improve things for lots of people.

1. Pay police well. Like, double it, and hold police to very high standards.
2. Pay teachers well. Like, double it, and hold teachers to very high standards.
3. Tie tax rates for businesses to local economies. The worse the economy, the bigger the break, the smaller the business, the bigger the break.

But again, i'm a contemptuous liberal that just got told i'm full of shit.

So, seriously, what the fuck am i supposed to do? "take problems seriously?" that's a bullshit rhetorical jab that contains zero useful information.
Obviously I can't speak for Trump, but I think it's accurate to say that the criticism of H1B visas is that they've been abused by tech companies wanting to hire foreign workers for entry-level jobs at low wages. The intent of the H1B was originally to attract real talent that we couldn't produce locally, such as specialists, PhDs, and experts with proven talent. The implication for you might be that, if H1B visas are reformed, you'll be less likely to get an entry level job after the masters degree, but should be better able to get a visa and a job in the USA as you advance in your career.

Thank you for writing this
I was pointing out that there's a tragedy of the commons when small communities pour resources into the youth without reaping the benefits (fewer educated, driven, and ambitious community members).

Also, if calling it unfair is subjective, so is calling it fair. Urban areas could just as easily be the entitled ones in this narrative. There is concern about ethical trade when buying goods from third world countries, but there is no concern when swaths of Appalachia and the Upper Midwest resemble a third world country in many respects. We have cosmopolitan types fretting about Whole Foods exporting the entire Andean quinoa crop, leaving locals little to eat. But there isn't similar concern about whether American towns are being likewise exploited.
the polls didn't miss anything they said Hillary would win and she did. Why would a national poll take into account our electoral college? It predicted the popular vote.

Is this commit from Oct 4 what you're referring to? https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/commit/46a527d014851...

Ethereum is decidedly non-transactional in certain cases, like nested contract creation for instance. I don't know about this commit though.
>In a popular vote, candidates would spend most of their time in large states like California, Texas, and New York.

This does not bother me. If more people are there, then more time should be spent there.
>The government is buying treasuries to push down rates, not because they are doing QE at the moment. Now pushing down rates means there is more money to borrow (the gov buys from owners of bonds, they get cash in return), but it doesn't necessarily mean the government is printing money (you can tell by he inflation rate, which is still quite reasonable).

We've had quite a bit of asset inflation. Sure, the consumer products you buy that were made in China aren't going up, but Zillow says my house is worth more than double what I paid five years ago. You can't tell someone looking for housing there's no inflation.

Did you ever stop and wonder why infrastructure costs so damn much in the US? Why a rail segment going from nowhere to nowhere in California costs seventy billion dollars, or a new bridge ten billion?

>The corporate bond market cannot soak up trillions of dollars in safe investments. In fact, low interest rates can simply result from high demand for treasury bonds because they are a "sure thing."

Low interest rates are the result of artificial demand for bonds. If the government would stop monkeying with the bond markets they could "soak up" enough to cover domestic savings. Foreign governments would have to find somewhere else to park their money, but that's not the end of the world.

What is your source?

The article explicitly says 'Epic Games founder Tim Sweeney has reportedly paid $15 million to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to permanently protect 7,000 acres of undeveloped land'.
In consulting you get in similar situations. In those cases it is not a "be able to code under pressure..." thing. Rather, a "know your code well" one. I have also been in a few demos where everything fails. As the manager sitting next to the client with your arms crossed, you have to know how to defuse the situation without having someone sweating their soul on a keyboard. Been on both sides.

For predicting of reactions using computers, there are several methods out there, some of which use physical (quantum mechanics) calculations. Each reaction can take a long time to run, which is why we've turned to machine learning.

We chose to use fingerprints, i.e. a vector representation of the graphical features of a molecule, for the inputs of our reactions, which is often used when machine learning properties of molecules, or for classifying the entire reaction as David pointed mentioned before. There's one paper from the Baldi group that uses inputs that are more like orbitals, and tries to predict the mechanisms of reactions directly : http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ci3003039
On top of this, many candidates have visa-related restrictions that would prevent them from doing this legally.
The tariff stuff freaks me out - it's a total idealogical paradigm shift.

Re the point of reducing regulation, Larry page actually recommended a variation of this to the president of South Korea to reduce legal complexity of its government:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/on-leadership/wp/2014/07...

"Reducing complexity, in fact, was a theme throughout the talk. Page recounted how when he was trying to simplify things at Google, he suggested the company take all of its rules and regulations and keep them at an easy-to-digest 50 pages. He even suggested a similar idea to the president of South Korea, Park Geun-hye. "I said, 'Hey, why don't you just limit your laws and regulations to some set of pages? And when you add a page, you have to take one away.' She actually wrote this down. She's great."
I think some of you have missed the point on minimalism....

Buy, own, keep things that you love and need.

If you enjoy having a cozy rug in your bedroom under your desk while you work because it brings you joy and happiness then you should own one!

If you have guests over often and having them sit on your bed bothers you, makes you embarrassed; buy a small functional couch.

Don't buy excess amounts of things; buy what you need and love.

If you do art often, it's a passion, etc then it's OK to own a closet or cupboard with supplies.

Take care of what you own, invest in quality items that will last, and make sure it's something you love, use and need.

Extended stay hotels for the kind of purposes you described already exist. They're essentially a small studio, with a kitchenette, are rented by the week, are larger than a normal hotel room, and have the personnel to ensure safety. The problem with zoning and having hotels in fun residential neighborhoods is that there often isn't the kind of civic infrastructure needed to support such things. Ability to ensure people adhere to noise ordinances, police officers, etc, are all issues that hotels have and need to be planned for.

Generally I think people refer to the polls to see who is likely to win the election, not win the popular vote -- great many are unlikely to think there's even a difference, remembering there's an Electoral College only once every 4 years in the week or so leading up to election day, if then. If that's the case, they absolutely should take into account the Electoral College.

The Republicans have a majority in the Senate, but just barely; it certainly isn't even close to being filibuster proof. And given how polarized the parties are now, I would expect the Senate Democrats to simply stonewall anything they don't like.
It's tough for me to say - I've generally been doing 40-70 hours a week in NYC, and average in Copenhagen is more like 35 (defacto); In NYC I'm expected - more or less - to be available 24/7 incase of outage / stability issues, wrt my company, whereas it in Denmark is more about the client/company adjusting to your work schedule, and them living with potential outages.

> If the liberal left was truly smart, why did they allow the president to run up more national debt than all presidents prior...combined?

Because the prez doesn't actually get a say. Congress sets the budget and the prez is obligated to pay it. If the taxes that congress sets aren't enough to cover it, the prez has to borrow the money. Given that Congress has been controlled by the Republicans for the past... 6?... years, you're barking at the wrong crowd.

Congress is in a sweet spot here, where they can blame the president for the huge debt that is congress's doing.
And the debt was increased by actions like bailing out the auto industry, saving 800,000 jobs. All those workers then voted for Trump.
I don't agree that it's a string anti-pattern whatsoever. It's a clear signal that the person can interpret the meaning of a rule and adhere to it in a way that makes sense for the person who made the rule as well as the contractor.

The Customer Journey Management Methodology
I think the idea is that his stance is not introducing new federal laws.

It probably could have been worded plainly instead of adding a conditional. Federal laws should be considered in their own right, not in comparison towards other federal laws.
Middle management is a really easy area for a growing company to end up weak in. If you promote a junior manager (out of necessity, or as a reward for being a very good junior manager) who's never seen what good higher level management looks like, they don't even know enough about what they don't know.

And then most junior managers never end up seeing it. Took me a while before I did - I liked my boss, even, but then they left and someone new came in, and the difference was night and day. Being able to come into a new place and figure out what details to focus on and what to not, identify common problem areas, identify people to delegate to and trust, get upper-management support for you when necessary, figure out where you're still uncomfortable and how to get you to start stretching yourself there... it's not stuff I knew I was missing. And I could've gone another decade without knowing it, probably!

Late edit: the more I see of the skills it takes to be good at it, and how easily it can be a thankless role, the more I'm kinda terrified even more of that jump than the dev->manager jump.

Hi leshow, can you be more concrete? If I have a record

`data Foo = Foo {fooA :: Text, fooB :: Text}`

then I must write a method `show :: Foo -> Text` for it. It is immaterial if I write

`instance Show Foo where`
` show foo = (... implementation ...)`

or

`shooFoo foo = (... implementation..)`

I save no code with typeclasses (at this point at least). (I do save code with the magic "deriving", but that's not part of the typesystem; it's just the compiler implicitly generating a bit of code for me.)

Likewise, map operations, fold. They need to be written and used.

I'm sceptical of Elm's claim that typeclasses aren't useful, but your post doesn't show what it sets out to, because it lacks concreteness.

Out of your post, it is only when you get to function composition that typeclasses can theoretically help — but the question isn't, can they theoretically help, it's do the help in practice.

So can you show some example? To meet the challenge and provide convincing evidence that a language without typeclasses is lacking, you would need to say "This is what the code is. And this is what it could be with typeclasses". Unless you do that, Noredink's claim that their code wouldn't be simplified with typeclasses stands.

I do not think you are obliged to do this. It is perfectly legitimate for you to ignore my message. But I think both sides can agree that this is what would be convincing to the anti-typeclassists.

That's exactly the railing against "political correctness" that got so much attention. "Not PC" is code for "freedom to believe and say hateful things about other groups of people."
Protecting Tomorrow
The other appeal (aside from what has already been stated) is that it would eliminate the problem of Congressmen obsessing about the next election as soon as they arrive. Lots of problems in our government are due to legislators wanting to avoid accountability, avoid having to take a position, or kicking the can down the road. But imagine if you only have two years and then go home! You'd be willing to really do something.

Orbital energies, or other solutions from the Schrodinger equation, would probably help the prediction if they were included as inputs. If you were to do this, you'd have to be a little careful about the cost of doing the quantum mechanics calculation on a whole data set of reactants in your reaction database, but it could be feasible with a cheap method.

Why pollsters were completely and utterly wrong
Federal taxes and expenditures are a net loss for California. Particularly since the post-Cold War base closures of the 1990s, and given that post-9/11 military expansion mostly benefited private contractors in the East and Southeast, especially the D.C. beltway (e.g. Virginia).

However, facts seem to have increasingly little currency these days.

OTOH, a substantial portion of Trump's base stands to lose out immensely; for example, the gutting of Obamacare. So the premise that people vote in their [objective] self-interest is fundamentally flawed.
Larry Page is not a pubic policy expert. He's a CS grad school drop out that got lucky.

This is as stupid as having the president of South Korea say, "You should keep the code to Google to a page and half. It would make it easier to understand."

Seriously, this makes no sense beyond claptrap. Why 50 pages? Why not 1? Why not 5 million? Why an arbitrary limit at all? The whole idea hinges on the idea that somehow this is obvious and an intrinsic good. It's not. It's not even a metric worth optimizing for, because it has zero concern about actual societal effects.
Top Trump-Backing Senator Declares the Trans Pacific Partnership ‘Dead’
This is not a good way to hire people. I can do all those things, but I'm not normal. Some engineers do a lot better under stress with a system that they're very familiar with. Others do better under stress when they're working with people they know well. And still others are great engineers but aren't the person to be in front of the client under stress.

Congratulations that you can do all these things -- but unless 100% of the engineers in your company need to be like you, you might not want to use your list as hiring criteria.

>Also, the fact that the strongest support for Trump's anti-immigrant views came from the parts of the country that have the fewest immigrants doesn't help.

Here's the kicker, why aren't people migrating to these places? They are lovely places that have had high immigration levels in the past. They do know that in other parts of the country those strange brown people are moving in and being more successful than they are in their own country though.

While the general goal of this site is a good idea, we'll have a better chance of fostering understanding by approaching the subjects indirectly. Build empathy and rapport first, then you'll have the context to approach the divisive questions productively.

You can't plug USB type C displays into hubs, they need to be connected directly. A display with a built in hub (like the thunderbolt display) is possible but doesn't yet exist.
