If you are just studying for a test interview, then might as well show them your grades from college or your SAT score. Solving the interview test isn't real life.

I agree with what is generally said bout side projects, nobody really cares. I mean not even a little bit, it kinda of amazes me. But oh well, I do my side projects for two reason, 1. to make money 2. to increase my knowledge in a language.

I wonder if Bill Gates, Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey would be around if they had to go thru intensive code interviews?
Personally I loved it - it's one of my all time favourite moies. I find a lot of the criticism of it tends to boil down to whether or not people believe the science expedition was meant to be a serious effort vs just an thin veneer of a cover for Weyland. There's nothing to indicate that it was meant to be serious. E.g. it has the wrong set of specialties for an expedition looking for live aliens, for starters, and Weyland clearly see everyone but himself as expendable.
Nerds are unpopular because a big component of the definition of "nerd" is unpopularity. If you're popular, you probably don't meet the definition of "nerd" very well.

Also, not every person can be popular, regardless of whether he or she has any of the other nerd attributes. Popularity, by definition, requires a minority of the people to be identified as "popular", plus a large number of others who recognize them as popular (which is what gives rise to popularity).

Popularity tends to be associated with certain personality attributes related to socialization. Those who don't have these outward personality attributes tend not to be popular. Not having those attributes is, again, part of the definition of nerd.

"Why is a group of people unpopular, whose defining characteristic is unpopularity and the lack of personality traits that lead to popularity?" Gee, I don't know.
I'd go with:

'What do you expect to be involved in as a software architect and what can you contribute?'

and take it from there. If you are interviewing for that role then surely what they do in the context of your organisation is key and open questions help you understand whether the person is a fit for that.
from my experience, taxis in Chicago are ~1.5x more expensive vs uber.

in nyc its the opposite, ubers are ~1.5x more expensive.

could partially explain the difference in decline.
This is part because the smart kids are told they go to school to learn things. That's obviously not the case; school is a horrible environment for transmitting knowledge and skill.

I for one never figured out that school was there to learn to socialise until far too late. My parents obviously meant well, and I hold no grudge, but if I was told when I was 10 or 12 to focus on the subjects I liked rather than try to do well in everything, and spend the rest of the time making friends and having fun and paying attention to other people, I'd probably be just as well off in terms what I actually retained, and much better off in social skills.

2008 is literally 9 years old, all the current day titles I look up are basically rated "Garbage". I think this will improve though as the move to Vulcan and DX12 should make porting easier as the APIs are more similar I believe. The most recent big name thing I could find was WoW - which, while originally from 2003(?) is actively updated and has had some pretty substantial graphical improvements in more recent expansions.

All social animals have the concept of social rank.

Rather than popularity I would rather translate that to: "why nerds are ranked lower in the human social structure". Now, to answer that, you need to standardize in a definition for nerd.

Nerd for some is about superficial traits, whereas for others it is only a descriptor for personality traits, for others it is about intellectual traits, whereas for others it is about interests.

I think the answer lies on how humans, or generalizing, greater apes, rank each other. For example: if you went hunting, who would you take with you in descending order?

Doubts Arise as Investors Flock to Crowdfunded Startups
But did it have to become niche? I think Erlang could very well have branched out to become a more even general-purpose language, rather than doubling down on distributed computing to the exclusion of more quotidian tasks.

Sure, Erlang will never be able to compete with certain languages such as C and C++ for many use cases. But I often grab Go to create small command-line tools, or do some minor parallel data processing where a lighter language like Ruby will not do well. There's nothing in Erlang that conceptually prevents it from being a general-purpose language; it's just that its ergonomics don't really "scale down" to the stupid, simple stuff.

I remember, years ago, trying to write a basic parallel non-OTP log-processing pipeline for some log files, thinking Erlang would be ideal... and being surprised at the number of roadblocks I had to deal with. Around the same time, Tim Bray went through the same process, but spent a lot more effort on it than I [1].

"SF school assignment is a (failed social experiment) lottery system where your kids can be assigned anywhere in the city, regardless of the fact that you live a block from a school."

I am well aware of this policy and have been for a long time.

AND YET, I still get mortified and upset every time I am reminded of it. It's mind-bogglingly bad policy. My children are not in SFUSD but even still, I feel like I should work politically against this policy just to make the world a (much) better place.

Okay, then I can pick another example: A dictionary where the type of the values depends on the key they're inserted under. (For example, a representation of the closure of a function in a typed language.) Of course, then I can go to a dependently typed language, but are you really going to tell me that only dependently typed languages count as "good" static type systems?

> There are far more efficient ways to produce heat than electric heaters that run 24/7.

Do you mean cheaper? Because generating heat always has 100% efficiency.
The only difference is that if you go from burnable materials to heat directly you don't get the nice side effect of getting computation done, so burning stuff is actually less efficient.
At that point in your life it is a larger fraction of your life. 25% at age 16. That's why, also just having been in school for 10 years. But one should keep the philosophy that everything in life is relatively short in general. This too shall pass.

As much as I dislike the move, it's pretty common for companies to stack rank / vitality curve and cut the bottom ~5% every year. On one hand... sure let's free up some space for better performers.

Interesting. Couldn't be more the opposite where I'm from. Which probably just means that anecdotes make poor indicators.
I disagree.

class Foo<T extends Number> implements IFoo<T> {}

Does not implement an unconstrained T. It implements "T extends Number". When the T appears in an implements, its not declaring a new type. You can't do, for example

class Foo implements IFoo<T> {}
java: cannot find symbol T

The mistake is believing that the T's, in the example above, are in any way related. It would be more appropriate to write:

interface Foo<TUnconstrained> {}
class Foo<TExtendsNumber extends Number> implements IFoo<TExtendsNumber> {...}

And then it becomes clear that the foos in bar will never be a Foo, because Foo does not implement IFoo<String> and never will. Yes you can nuke it unchecked code. No, I don't have a problem with that. But the example given is not a useful example.

And this example is in response to the previous one where he asks "Is this code safe? .. your gut instinct would say this is unsafe". No. My gut instinct is that it would not compile. And indeed:

java: type argument java.lang.String is not within bounds of type-variable T

> They have even replaced DNS with a dbus-based protocol, which they "strongly recommend" applications use instead of DNS.

This seems inaccurate. The phrase "strongly recommend" appears once in the manpage, where it is strongly recommended that you use either the standard libc resolver API, with libnss_resolve, or the D-Bus API.

Applications should be using the libc resolver API instead of implementing DNS themselves. There are some applications like Chrome that implement DNS themselves because they care very much about DNS; those applications presumably know how to do all the things systemd-resolved does. Everyone else should get name resolution functionality from libc. That's what you've been supposed to do for decades, and it's a standard UNIX interface. That standard interface supports things like LLMNR that you don't get if you implement DNS yourself.

Unfortunately, the standard UNIX interface is synchronous, which is why libraries like ares or adns exist. If you want to use such a library, you can point it at 127.0.0.53, but you still have the limitations of what can be expressed in DNS. (And you're still using a nonstandard API to speak to libares or libadns.) No API exists that is standard, async, and does everything that libc getaddrinfo() is capable of doing. So systemd built one.

That's pretty standard behavior for systemd: implement compatibility interfaces where they exist, recommend them if they're good (systemd explicitly recommends /etc/fstab over writing native mount units, because /etc/fstab is a perfectly good format), implement them anyway if they're not, and write a better API, based on D-Bus, when needed. The latter bit not going through a multi-implementer standards committee isn't great, but it's nowhere near as bad as presented.

Anyway, this is completely irrelevant to the rest of the analysis, which seems absolutely correct, and I'm not sure why the author included this parting shot.
> it really did feel like it went on forever.

It does go on forever.

The only difference is that the "opt out" option is unlocked after high school, but opting out has consequences. Even if we don't want to admit it, there's a lot of truth to the phrase "It's not what you know but who you know".

I hung out with plenty of nerds in high school, and most of them took solace in the belief that they'd eventually be laughing all the way to the bank while the jocks were flipping burgers. It's one of those things you keep repeating to make yourself feel better even when you suspect it's not true (kind of like people who say "I could've been popular if I wanted to").

Turns out they were wrong, and I'm guessing it's because popular people are able to use their superior social/networking skills to easily find job opportunities (and promotions), while nerds struggle to find the courage to answer the phone when the interviewer calls.

Hey those are great questions. To answer them in list order:

1) You currently can't use Oracle DB with Scaphold. We have a hosted database that comes along with each app right from the get-go.

2) There is support for websockets through GraphQL Subscriptions. Each new type that you create in your schema will expose the ability to subscribe to events of that type.

3) There are a bunch of PaaS services that exist out there, but the speed at which you build apps on Scaphold is undoubtedly faster. We give you the ability to think about your data in a modular way by appending large pieces of functionality to your app without having to write any server-side code. But you also get the flexibility to bind your custom logic to the same API through your own hosted microservices. Out of any BaaS platform on the market, we provide the most feature-rich platform that can actually help you launch into production and scale to large workflows. So far we already have a few large customers aboard and growing fast.

If you're interested to hear more about our feature set, I'd love to chat with you more directly about your specific use cases and see how we can address those. Feel free to join our Slack and PM me directly (http://slack.scaphold.io). I'm @vince
What, exactly, are the quotidian things that the government and administrators are interested in? My point is that academics are already absurdly political, both internally (the fight for tenure and academic domain) and external (budgets and priorities). The people who run academia are already basically professional administrators, once you've set on an administrative path, research is very hard to undertake. Why continue with the charade? In my experience, most administrators just want to do their job. I think it's easy to underestimate the number of workaday government administrators that run water treatment plants, streetlights, engineers, etc, that just want to do their job efficiently.

The article made me think of a recent book "The Invention of Science" almost immediately - turns out the book is mentioned as one of the references - which is well worth reading if you found the article interesting. It discussed the story of the Earth in a lot more detail.

It is fascinating to read how amazing conclusions people inferred by following perfectly sensible reasoning from basic assumptions they believed. It makes you think about the perfectly sensible reasoning we are using today and what our current ideas will seem completely silly in a few hundreds years!
Alright! Did you ever try to run a summarizer on a post's comment section? It pretty much creates an "article" for you. I've always thought that article generation from comment threads is an area that should be explored.
>Drilling rigs don't suck oil out of the ground, they drill a hole...

One of the clever pieces of writing/directing in Deepwater Horizon was at the beginning when the daughter of the character played by Mark Wahlberg did the thing with the coke can to demonstrate how an oil well worked (or didn't).

IMO, it was a brilliant piece of non-exposition exposition, whether or not a lot of the audience really picked up on it. The basic concept was pretty important to the incidents of the movie but to explain it during the normal course of the movie would have been really tough to make seem natural. (I can't come up with a great CS example off the top of my head, but it would be like two programmers making a statement like 'You know, we have to remember that these programs are actually translated into 0s and 1s.')
Two things happened for me that changed how I experienced high school.

1. I stopped being afraid of losing a fight.
I learned that if you got into a fight and and got in a few good hits, even if you lost, people would be less likely to give you crap in the future.

I might go home with a busted lip but you're going to pick up a bloody nose for your trouble.

2. I got bigger.
I grew to be 6'1" by my senior year. Bullies go for easier targets and someone who was their size or bigger wasn't usually an easy target.

I don't advocate violence as a first resort to solve anyone's problems but it's important to be able to defend yourself.
Your first comment in this thread - in which you mention representatives in passing - suggests that you assume all "democracy" to come in the form of democratic republics. This might be true in a discussion of practical implementations of a scalable democratic governing system.

The thread you responded to, however, was about a theoretical directly democratic system of managing land use rights, without any grounding in a realized system with elements of republicanism. The disconnect between the discussion at hand and the assumptions you brought to it (IMHO) caused the confusion between yourself and Arizhel.

A more constructive comment from yourself might have instead politely pointed out that the scenario I described is a classic "tyranny of the majority" issue, a well understood failure mode of direct democracy that is indeed typically resolved practically through the features of republicanism you listed.

Curious. I see more and more of the in-flight entertainment systems including USB chargers on them - for charging, not listening. My experience on flights where I use the analog jack is that it's usually a terrible experience, in terms of audio quality. IFF the USC-C standard becomes more ubiquitous, this might be rendered a moot point.

Of course, I do not know if the USB-C has been tested for the kind of brutal, constant usage that would be common on aircraft so I might be completely wrong.

I wish I could triple up-vote this. I've worked with a few architects who were great at envisioning fantastic, pure systems that looked great on paper. But, were nearly useless at actually building these systems and making them work in the real world.

That might be ok if the role is a pure R&D role, where they're "playing around" with the latest technology and ideas. We have some of those positions at my current employer. But, it's not very good for an architect who will be embedded with a team of developers.
