Heh. It's also driven by the fact that my late mother was a Communist. That combined with my Libertarian leanings as an adult have led to me being extraordinarily sensitive to that style of political imagery.
Management that takes critism positively without tit for tat attitude is not everywhere. By your own account you said "if you could find the right person to talk to, things could be changed from within". Well, is it employees' job to find the right feedback channel? Its the management's job to set up the right channels and make their employees aware of existance of such channels were they can give their feedback without fear of retaliation in any form. This feedback shouldn't be discarded or go into a black hole inbox. It should be openly addressed and appropriate action taken.

For bad examples for such process Snowden for one told he did go through such internal channels. Also Manning. Whistleblowers seems to be retaliated against with so much prejudice.

Also quitting a company that displays many such questionable ethical choices would feel good for my morale. Most people don't have such financial independence (runway) to quit and so they keep their jobs and keeps their opinions to themselves.

surrender

note while it was not totally an unconditional surrender it was best an unconditional surrender with an apostraphe (*), The Japanese asked for the emperor's position to be retained, the allies didn't give them a straight yes/no answer. The ultimate decision on the part of the emperor was made later during the occupation. Also the emperor was stripped of non-ceremonial power after the war, which Japan had objected to. Note that even at the end after the bombings (and the Soviet invasion of the part of China held by the Japanese) some on the ruling council were arguing for other conditions other then the emperors position such as no occupation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrender_of_Japan

> Once the Emperor had left, Suzuki pushed the cabinet to accept the Emperor's will, which it did. Early that morning (August 10), the Foreign Ministry sent telegrams to the Allies (by way of the Swiss Federal Political Department and Max Grässli in particular) announcing that Japan would accept the Potsdam Declaration, but would not accept any peace conditions that would "prejudice the prerogatives" of the Emperor. That effectively meant no change in Japan's form of government—that the Emperor of Japan would remain a position of real power.[96]

> The Allied response ... On the status of the Emperor it said:

> From the moment of surrender the authority of the Emperor and the Japanese government to rule the state shall be subject to the Supreme Commander of the Allied powers who will take such steps as he deems proper to effectuate the surrender terms. ...The ultimate form of government of Japan shall, in accordance with the Potsdam Declaration, be established by the freely expressed will of the Japanese people.

Your concern is right, but how could we have solved it? I think it's a composition of the Reflection API, the Java style of not accepting optional function parameters, and the pluggable systems.

We call the first framework function, which calls the second function with the default values for the arguments that were optional. The second function looks up the application's method using Reflection. Because Reflection code is verbose and has a lot of tricky cases, we want to share code between all places where we call it, so it delegates calling the API in 4 different methods.

Then come up the ServletFilters in an HTTP application, which is an example of pluggable system. If we declare 10 filters, they all do something like check the authentication, gzip the response, check the XSRF token, transform a WebApplicationException into a 404/500 reaponse. Unfortunately they all appear as "ServletFilters" in the stacktrace, until they delegate to the final HTTPServlet itself. Another example of pluggable system is OSGi: Each method call is wrapped in 5 function calls if the method is in another classloader.

There's only one improvement I'm able to imagine: Java could define a pluggable system at the language level, so we don't have to implement them using function calls. This pluggable system stretches for all delegation needs, from OSGi to ServletFilters to apps where the list of delegates were defined by a REST api, etc. Sounds like a big JSR...
Is Poaching Causing Elephants to Evolve Without Tusks?
I think the reason is that it just feels insecure. If you keep all your passwords in your head, then you have full control. Using a password manager means handing them off to something else, whether it is a paid service, a piece of software, or whatever. It feels like a "cat's out of the bag situation", that once you let the password escape that first container (your mind), it will inevitably spread everywhere.

I'm not saying it's rational (I'm a happy customer of 1password), but there is something a little bit scary about letting go of control of your passwords.
No, some controls were introduced at the end of the 19th century and prohibition (of non-alcohol drugs) really got going in the 1920s. Before that it was essentially a free-for-all.
Paramedics/first responders save lives too, in scenes just as dramatic or more as yours. Is being a paramedic 'high status'? No it's not. Look I'm not here to tell you or anyone anything about how useful or stressful their jobs are; hell I mean I sit at a desk all day writimg code that'll be run by 10 people ever if I'm lucky. What I'm saying is that status doesn't depend on any of that, or on how hard you work, or on how hard you studied. I'm not making any claims about whether that's right or not either, just describing reality.

Or how about this - does your boss still do the things you describe? If your hospital is medium sized or bigger, he spends half his day pushing paper and the other half controlling petty infighting between the surgeons. Yet is his job lower status than yours? Would getting his job, for you, be a demotion or a promotion? Seems to me the answers are pretty obvious.
I'm confused that you seem to think that "FP" means immutability. I think that most lisps and schemes, for example, have had mutable state. ML does. I think APL does? I think Erlang does, even though it says it doesn't? It's just a few Johnny-come-lately languages that do this immutability-is-the-default thing. Heck, even Clojure doesn't commit to it. Although I agree that lots of them discourage the use of mutability (including ML, APL, and Erlang).

To my way of thinking, OO means "big bundles of state, with really aggressive encapsulation". And FP means first-class functions, and more pipelining/chaining with less encapsulation. Smart data, vs functions-plus-dumb-data.

And so I think that OO isn't technically incompatible with immutability, but it fits better with FP. And OO isn't technically incompatible with purity, but it fits a LOT better with FP.
This is very impressive, well done!

Which I think is where solar/wind/hydro (in places that aren't the hoover dam...) make the most sense. Topping off comparatively clean sources like nuclear (or, preferably, actually clean sources) either through only turning them on when needed or having them charge capacitors. Hell, the UK have even been doing it, to a lesser extent, through pumped storage (think of them like really big water-based capacitors that you charge during non-peak times)

My point was more in balancing out the common misconception of "Let's just put a solar cell on every roof".
This tickles something. I remember reading that after Khrushchev was forced out there were two factions in the Soviet government, one that wanted to keep the military based command economy and the other that wanted more focus on a consumer goods based economy.

German here is well. Facebook agreed to remove certain comments. Facebook (and not the government!) contracted that work to Arvato and defines the rules under which they operate.

From the guys that accused Trump of not accepting the result of elections(because they considered done in Hillary's favor), turns out they don't want to accept it either.

Of course electronic voting machines could be hacked, but it is way easier to hack it when you know the source code, like the NSA knows, and the company that makes it is American, than Russia. So I bet the hack will be in Hillary's favor instead of otherwise.

What you're basically describing is a free-speech version of war profiteering. Instead of profiting from enabling the physical destruction and submission of a people, you're profiting from enabling their silence.

There's a big difference between creating a morally neutral tool (like Facebook itself, which may be used for evil, such as in cases like cyberbullying) and creating a tool for an explicitly immoral purpose to be given to an entity which will obviously use it for immoral purposes.

What Facebook is doing is deeply unethical.

The thinking behind keeping the "weird historical" /usr is that it parallels other operating systems that (mostly) store their stuff in a subtree that is under a single subdirectory of the root. Think \OS2, \DOS, and \WINDOWS for starters. Also remember \LINUX from the world of LOADLIN.
Couldn't Trump counter with much more serious claims of voting fraud that likely benefited Clinton? There is a paper from 2014 that demonstrates how votes by illegal immigrants have actually affected the outcomes of US elections: https://heartiste.wordpress.com/2016/11/17/study-illegal-ali...
This election has basically been a breeding ground for conspiracy theories about vote rigging. The other main axes have been:

A viral claim that Trump won because 300,000 voters were turned away due to insufficient identification: http://www.snopes.com/300000-wisconsin-voters-turned-away-du... (Definitely not true. That was an estimate of the total number of people that might not have suitable ID under a law that was overturned. If I recall correctly, the estimate had some issues too. Also, Trump performed much better than expected amongst the demographic that was supposedly being turned away to win him the vote.)

A bizarre viral tweet asking people to contact the DoJ, together with a claim that more votes were counted for President than cast in one county in Wisconsin: http://www.snopes.com/audit-the-vote/ (Apparently the initial reports are just based on phoned-in results that are checked later, and someone misheard.)

A claim by Greg Palast that Crosscheck was used to rig the vote by purging the registrations of enough black voters in Michigan, Arizona and North Carolina to swing the vote. Not on Snopes, but the proposed mechanism wouldn't work - Michigan only purges voters on the list if they fail to reply to a posted notification and then don't vote in any elections between this one and January 2019, and the other states should have similar safeguards by federal law.
That company does not work directly for the government but is contracted by Facebook directly.

As far as I'm aware that team actively monitors content and doesn't need to have an explicit request to remove something.

I also have never seen an example that is just critical of the governing parties which was supposedly removed (every single example I saw was of the type "hang chancellor Merkel"). My Facebook feed is full of people promoting opposition parties from the complete political spectrum.

I have been a Democrat my whole life. In my opinion rehashing the vote would be very bad for our country.

Something that disturbs me greatly is the reaction of the media to the election. My wife had MSNBC on for an hour last night. There was one Trump supporter on briefly and they were constantly interrupted. Otherwise it was all editorializing against Trump.

We have lost a free and impartial news media, and that bodes ill for our country.

As an algorithmist, I strongly agree. Algorithms are of value, but they are not a high priority for junior devs. For a tiny fraction of problems, algorithms knowledge is absolutely essential, and often cannot be picked up at the time of need. But for almost all problems, especially the problems facing junior-to-intermediate devs, there is rarely any algorithms work. As you said, code organization. Long lists of things to remember to take into account (e.g. what areas require one to stop and get a security expert). Etc.

I think the best thing you can say for algorithms training is that, without it, you often don't notice that you need to get an algorithmist.

When people say, as my sibling commenters do, "find out why your n^3 approach is slow", or "do a substring match", I wonder what problems they're solving. Has this shit actually come up in your career, or is it just something that you imagine will come up? How many times has a cubic algorithm actually been the problem? As compared to doing five hundred DB queries, instead of one query that JOINs properly and returns a 500-row result set, which I see juniors and students do all the time, and is not an algorithms problem at all (it's the same asymptotic complexity, btw!). How many times have you tried to figure out a fast approach to substrings, and how rude was your code reviewer when they pointed you at the standard library?

Firstly, the epidemic of opioid prescription and addiction is not as profound in all parts of the world. The BMJ is international but UK based and the authors of this piece seem to be British.

Secondly, how in the hell id the position "The war on drugs has failed, we need policies that promote harm reduction and ethics over failed punitive actions" taking a soft stance?

That's part of the whole reason we fail so hard and keep failing, that people have this weird idea that actually tackling the problem is 'soft' and presumably continuing to beat our collective heads against the wall, despite a continuing lack of it acheiving anything, is what? Tough? Hard?

I'm very uncomfortable with the notion of forcing someone to accept medical treatment without an extremely good reason. If we're going to entertain the notion, it should require a warrant to be obtained from a federal court.

Even the power to detain someone for psychiatric evaluation is used sparingly, and that has checks and balances to protect patients.
This is an interesting thread.

However, as with all soft skills all of the feedback posted here is subjective to external circumstances. The often limited interpretation and perception of the interviewer goes along way into the hiring process.

So, from my small experience, there are many things that must come into play in order to get hired. The good thing is that in our industry hiring is going strong compared to other industries which are vanishing.

I think we can agree that valuable feedback comes mostly from people with whom we work daily and managers.

I, probably like a lot of others, took this post as a tongue-in-cheek joke. I think we're all mature enough to handle it, as the humour comes from how offensive the joke is and not from some universal truth behind the statement.

If it actually was meant as a serious comment and is being upvoted, then that's truly fucked up and would make me seriously question this forum. But I'm giving benefit of the doubt.

If you hash each letter separately, then for the fist letter you have something like $2a$06$54k.unrkdM4PInCBA9Kx9uTQEa8GZR76dO7xx4puT9m2rhtFioFbm . Can you guess which letter it is?

(spoiler alert)

It's very easy to recover each letter separately using brute force. If your password has 8 letters and for the sake of simplicity let's assume the they are only uppercase normal letter, then the difficulty to guess it is reducer from 26^8=2E11 to 26*8=2E2. (The difference is bigger with a longer password or a bigger alphabet.)
