If you want to do that, make sure you ask the appropriate people, e.g. HR, about it before you do it. A single manager may not know anything about having remote workers, but HR may be able to assist.

I had an awkward experience leaving my last company. I wanted to move and was willing to work remotely, but no one on my team or my immediate managers thought that was something the company would be willing to do so we agreed I'd resign. It wasn't until I had already accepted a job at another company that I started hearing from friends in other parts of the company that it was possible to become a remote worker. It was just so rare that my immediate team was quoting an old policy and they didn't bother to verify it with HR.

To be fair, the job I found has been great and I'm glad I left.
I disagree that the pink car driver was not paying attention - he or she was likely turning to look over their right shoulder before making the lane change. The drift to the right isn't an avoidance maneuver executed lazily, but just a normal lane change. Bad luck that the SUV ahead slammed on the brakes at the exact moment the pink car driver checked his or her blind spot.

Believe it or not, there's a setting to turn off stuff like Early Access, VR, etc. categories in the Store listings so you never have to see them.

The problem is: Valve's UX is so terrible that I accidentally came across that setting once, and I've never been able to find it again. But it does exist.

... and of course 3 seconds after posting I can't find it, I managed to find it. See if this URL works for you:

Yes, building them would be. However, not shutting the existing once down because we learned that tsunamis can threaten nuclear power plants on the coast is a different story. Don't get me wrong I honestly don't know if nuclear is better than coal, but think it's a viable discussion.
I totally agree regarding SMW, IMHO it’s one of the best video games of all time.
Kids are not addicted in most cases, they are exploring. They don't know what options there are, or how far these things go, they just want to try it. If you present a child with lots of options, they won't stay with one all the time, for sure.

My parents were worried because I spent too much time reading, I've known people who's parents were worried because they spent too much time with music, or painting, or with friends, or playing football, or swimming, etc...

Children find things they like and explore them. Yes, as a parent your job is to get them to try a wider range of things and open them up to other stuff, but it's not 'screens' that are suddenly a new danger.
Cats will get cat acne if you don't clean their food dish... or force them to eat off of the floor.
Strategy performance seems to be a rather mixed bag. In some testing we've done RH (completely implemented) performed somewhat worse across the board, but allowed higher load factors, compared to simple linear-probing. However, it would seem that RH doesn't (directly) suffer from tombstoning, which is rather problematic with LP for long-lived tables.

I have upgraded Rust every six weeks. I run `rustup update stable` and wait a minute. Its not a time investment! Rust puts so much work into guaranteeing backwards compatibility so that updating every 6 weeks is an effortless process.

You seem to come from an experience where software updates are kinda sorta mostly backwards compatible. Rust works very hard to actually be backwards compatible. There is infrastructure to check for regressions across the entire package ecosystem, which is run regularly on HEAD and on any commit we think might potentially be breaking before we even land it.
In 2000/2001 I had an office next to a couple guys that were doing failure prediction on electric motors using signal analysis of accelerometers.

The next big leap is the integration of cheap wireless force sensors in objects themselves. This will provide realtime design feedback in the field, so not just early detection of failures but root cause analysis of the design flaws themselves.

Having worked in both, Pascal (at least in the 1980s) felt like trying to work inside a straightjacket.

Perhaps the worst example: The size of an array was part of the type of the array. This means that you couldn't access outside of the array. That was good. It also meant that you couldn't have a variable-sized array, because there was no possible type for it to have! That was really problematic at one particular point when we needed to deal with a variable-sized 2D array. We wound up having to create the maximum size we had memory for, and only use the subset that we needed, which to this day I consider a kludge to deal with a language limitation.

For more, Google for "Why Pascal Is Not My Favorite Programming Language". Despite being written by Kernighan, it's not a Pascal-vs-C evaluation - it's more Pascal-vs-Ratfor, with Pascal coming off rather badly for real-world use.

For university teaching, though, Pascal was probably better...
The US does have wire transfers but they nearly always cost $15-$20 from what I've seen, which is silly.

Aside from that all you have is ACH, which is what's being complained about.

Most of the developed world has essentially free wire transfers.

2: Minivans have an image problem (still associated with the "soccer mom" stereotype for Gen X; millenials appear to be less averse to them). In addition, most minivans are elevated so that they can have a flat floor, so they similarly have an elevated center of gravity.
I appreciate you taking the time to respond. Having worked 11 years in IT in the Fortune 100 Corporate World and then giving a startup a go, I find myself a little like a fish out of water back trying to get this many years being on the other side of interviewing.
You're spot on about your own discipline. Building on what mysterydip said above, your habits transfer almost entirely IMO. For example, if I'm working from home or answering an email, and my wife is using her phone, my daughter will often ask if she can stop whatever it is she is doing, like coloring, and instead play with her tablet.

It really does encourage you as a parent to have discipline with not only their screen time but your own as well.

It's pretty common to have stack and heap growing from opposite address ranges towards a central address space. That makes wrap around an unimportant feature that isn't worth the trouble.

Now, runtimes are increasingly adopting address randomization, which can change the rules about this, depending on what you are doing.
Android on Google devices is a joke. I have a new Nexus 7 that sometimes turns on and off correctly and sometimes does not. I see articles on how great the power management is going to be on Android N+1 but I think the people who write them run iOS because if they ran Android they'd be telling google to make the power button work right first.
Thanks for the write-up! I'm a 1.5 years from graduating with my CS PhD, and have not considered investing at all, mainly because I have no idea what to do/how to do it.
Yup, they can. That way your code and data share the same address range, so you need to make sure that the offsets within the address range don't overlap.

It's also possible to configure the system so that your code lives in one segment, and your data and stack live in another. That way, you get 64kB for code and another 64kB for data.

We have to put the stack in the same segment as the data because C requires the stack to be addressable; if you're not working in C, you can put the stack in a third segment and get a bit more space.

Of course, if you're willing to use pointers which contain the segment as well as the offset, so 32 bits wide, you can use multiple segments, but that raises all sort of complexity that's not really worth thinking about these days.
I got tired of the part-time contract work. It was frustrating to me that I had to spend about half my time on overhead instead of just working. I had to find jobs, negotiate jobs, manage scope, manage expectations, manage clients, time tracking and billing. It was kinda fun to bill $125/hr, but with all that overhead and taxes it worked out to less than a $125k/yr salary.

In the end I took a regular salaried job that paid better and I got to spend more time doing what I loved: programming.

unprecedented equality != perfect equality

Unprecedented equality means that in a capitalistic (Western) society almost everybody eats a hot meal everyday day, has free time to enjoy, has an assortment of clothes, furniture and things, has a place to live with running water and electricity and appliances that run with said electricity.

All things that only the richest people could dream of enjoying just a couple of centuries ago.

There's older threads about them, the interview process is better described here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10109036

The good things are you don't have to chase down clients for payment or constantly hustle for gigs like other freelancer sites, it's like a temp agency they do all that for you, and you work for established companies (AirBnB ect) so hopefully the person telling you what to do has an idea of what they're doing instead of constantly asking for the impossible. You can also easily set own hours, so check in and out whenever you want.

The bad of course is wages unless you're living in a country with a very low cost of living or you just want to use toptal to gain remote work experience and don't mind not being payed Silicon Valley standard then it's probably not worth it to you to work there being there's dozens of jobs on hnhiring threads and other sites that will pay at least 2-3x as much.
It is bulk monitoring. My four kids each have a google tablet. My autistic daughter has learned a lot through "OK, Google", which means everything said in my household for the past six years is sitting on Google's servers, waiting for America's Stasi to commandeer it. Frankly, it's bullshit that Google didn't know what was going on, or that I didn't either.
I would add virtual files and filesystems to the list. We take them for granted, but without files we would probably stuck with storing everything in a giant database a=la Windows registry. That would make a lot of things complicated and some things practically impossible.

No, the default integer is u32. If type inference can't provide a better type, Rust will pick u32. If type inference can pick a better type it will use it. So if you create an unsuffixed int literal and use it for indexing, that literal will be a usize.

Rust will type error if you try to use u32s with an array so it's all good though. Just means that you need to specifically `: usize` things.

If you need an integer type for counting stuff, u32 is fine. If you actually need to talk about memory, use usize. The compiler will force you to do it.
> 1. Digital authentication for purchasing is moving towards non-transferable biometrics ( i cant divulge my thumbprint like i can my pin )

It's an interesting topic as we've seen in recent news coverage that authorities can compel the accused to provide a thumbprint to give investigators access. While this may be in accordance to something like password authentication, I'm still concerned about the ramifications. For example, what if authorities compel accused individuals to store their thumbprint rather than use it directly? Is that possible? And how will it be protected?
As someone who did an on-site, I wouldn't worry too much about that. 95% of your interview is going to be on your whiteboard skills solving algorithm-heavy problems. Spend as much time as you can practicing for that.
All media outlets have political power and its hard to regulate the truth without abuse.

But! As a society or a culture, it is smart to make sure whoever participates in your internal and cultural debate is not an outside force and participates in both directions: they should have an editor that has will defend their editorial choices. Somebody that lives in the same country and is part of culture.

This is more about facebook wanting to be both Reddit and the NYT. Either allow it all or have your editioral choices made by a local resident that like a newspaper will be available for questions.

If you transfer from an account within a standard US bank to another account within the same bank, it can be same day sometimes, next day others.

If you transfer between US banks, it will take between 1 and 5 business days, depending on when you send it (noon EST is a common cutoff time to have it done overnight), whether you've sent to the account before (sending with ACH, the "normal" way, requires you to confirm ownership of both accounts, which takes around 2 days) and whether you pay for it (if you pay $15-$20 for a "wire transfer", it can be done same day).

You can get around some of that (owning both accounts) by using a physical cheque (yes, they actually use those still in the US) but it can still take more than a day for the funds to be available, depending on the size of the transfer.

There are a whole ton of transfer services like Venmo that work around this by not using the banking system but in the end you usually need to get the money into/out of the bank somehow and you're stuck using the old ways.

Sending internationally is SWIFT, so mostly takes the same amount of time regardless of the bank you use or the country you're in (at least in my experience).
> Psychomotor therapy is neither widely practiced nor supported by clinical studies.

Well if this dancer-turned-psychologist is so hellbent on his methods, shouldn't he subject them to the rigor of clinical research? If I were in his shoes and I had a method that showed promise, I'd want to evaluate it against my peers to ensure I have the most eyes available to make it the most effective - in the same way a crypotographer testing a new algorithm would open-source his work to find as many exploits as early as possible to strengthen his work.

> which depend on the probing strategy

Not only. Resizing can involve rehashing all of the existing entries (unless you lose memory by storing the full hash values all the time, then it still involves copying and reallocation). If without open addressing you can get by with much less resizing and with worse (but faster) hashing function (although modern languages often have to use non-trivial hashing functions to prevent some kinds of attacks), it's tricky to find under which circumstances open addressing is cheaper: again, microbenchmarks aren't the complete story, the real-world uses where users grow the hashes are: what are the typical sizes? The typical occurrences of regrows? The good solution behaves good for a typical case (where a lot of the hashes are probably quite small9 and for the typical "big" case where some hashes grow significantly.
