You might not need to implement it, but you needed to know enough to know what an AVL tree is, why you might (or might not) need it, and to be able to do some basic validations on the library you selected to make sure that it does what you are hiring it to do.
Proper grammar on headlines would be a nice creation too.
We're really moving into the strange cyberpunk dystopian future when CEOs start writing bizarre manifestos about how they want to reshape the world like this. Really just a few years out from private corporate armies I think (Zuckerberg already has a small private army protecting him with heavy weaponry) and cyber wars and espionage and open defiance of governments.

Like we all knew this was an option of where we were going but to see it actually happening is kind of surreal.
I think Valve works a bit like that from what I've read.
The distinction I see would be this: Style is how you lay out the article and make the argument. Rhetoric is more about the content of the article itself - what phrases you use, what slogans, terms, etc; how you frame certain issues.

Most publications, fringe or not, have journalistic style that would, in my opinion, make them hard to distinguish. That is, if you took a Brietbart article and a Vox article on two different issues and compared the format/length/general tone and language, they wouldn't be all that different.

However, I think these outlets do vary in the specific rhetoric they use, the people they rely on for comment/as sources, etc. I would therefore focus on specific terms or language rather than general style.
It's really not hard to identify partizan news sources, which is what this is based on. They often self-identify themselves.

It's really not hard for professional journalists to fact-check partizan articles, and I'd assume the ones hired by Buzzfeed used several well-known fact-checking sites, including Politifact.

> sounds like a way to abrogate the responsibility of the individual to understand and analyze sources

But of course it doesn't do that. It's just a way of getting a machine to identify partizan stories that are statistically likely to contain a higher proportion of lies, especially if they are from right-wing sources (Table 1).

As we know all too well, individuals commonly abrogate the responsibility to understand and analyze sources all by themselves.
With all the drawbacks that Cygwin entails. Plus the requirement to rebuild the code instead of just using the Linux-native ELF binary.

Those are two things with very different goals.
For anyone ready to hate on JIRA, spend some time using VersionOne instead. It'll take a week for you to want to run back to JIRA, screaming.
Actually the manifesto should be written with current FB users in mind, and how their use of the platform is (over?)empowering a select few into driving their own agenda.

Mark Zuckerberg and others like him do what they do best, it's up to the 'masses' to develop critical thinking about their everyday actions and impacts. It's easy to blame the Emperor, much more difficult to admit our part in putting him into power.

> If in my day-to-day I need to use an AVL tree, I will get a library for it, I won't be reimplementing it from scratch every single time.

Completely agree. How will you know you need an AVL tree, versus, say, a Red-Black tree? What are the performance characteristics of each? Why pick one over the other? When I interview someone, I ask algorithm questions to find out how they reason about the algorithms, not so I can watch them implement one.

While there's the potential of spying, there's also the much more common use-case of AV scanning the whole stream but otherwise not looking at it and not archiving it anywhere.

Now we can all debate the value of AV scanning in general (I'm on the probably-not-worth-it-and-way-too-risky side), but if we attribute any kind of value to AV scanning (it might help with wide-spread attacks at the cost of facilitating targeted attacks), then being able to peek into SSL tunnels is a requirement for it to provide any kind of its proposed value.

Depending on your users level of knowledge and your updating procedure, not running AV might indeed be considered irresponsible.

If your systems are somewhat unpatched and your users oblivious to threats, then you're much more likely to be owned by and wide-spread malvertising and email spam attack (both of which AV actually protect against) than you're likely to be the victim of a targeted attack (which AV actually makes easier to pull off) just by virtue of the former being much more common than the latter.
This was added to the fast ring builds in December. Not sure of the timeline to get it out into stable, but it definitely was a big deal to get.
Swift 3 churn
Less gas is less gas, though! The long term cost is the real question.

As a cyclist, I have a perception of carbon as kinda fragile; take a good hit, and you really need to replace your fork. This makes me think the carbon will mainly be used for internal structure, which would still greatly reduce the weight of the plane (and this the base amount of fuel used), and bring down those lifetime costs. But if it's too fragile, then the overall lifespan of the plane is reduced, which would counterbalance the gains.
Buzzfeed News is actually a very respectable investigative journalism team led by a Pulitzer-winning journalist. It's funded by their clickbait site.
As an economist, this sounds rather efficient.
- Full computer in Crashplan with user-specified key.

- Non-sensitive documents I care about on Dropbox.

- Code I care about (have time invested in) with git remotes on Github, Bitbucket, or a personal Gitlab server.

- For "continuity" I carry personal property insurance that can replace my laptop.

I don't bother with external drives or NAS devices because the scenarios I feel are most likely are burglary followed by natural disaster; I don't want to rely on something in my home to protect something else in my home.

After hard drive crashes I am usually grateful for a clean slate, and at most pluck one or two files out of backup when the need arises.

I tend to agree with you and try to at least be cordial with recruiters in my region. I have gotten 2 jobs from recruiters, both being external recruiters.

Once I applied for a job that had a really obscure job requirement which I met. The job was already filled but I spoke to the recruiter, who was really nice and ultimately found me a different job in another skill set about a month later.

The other was the traditional thing were a recruiter reached out to me. I actually didn't like the recruiter, but I liked the job and ended up pursuing it anyway.
They put their names on the work:

Which of the journalists there do you think is just the worst? I mean, they work for Buzzfeed right?
I agree with this post. I've turned down Google interviews twice precisely because I was immersed in personal projects and didn't want to spend the time needed to practice algorithm writing just for a test. I could understand if they ask you practical questions like "when and why would you use a trie?" that seems more appropriate than "write a trie on my whiteboard or you're not smart enough to work here." None of their engineers are writing trees by hand and in fact are actively encouraged not to "reinvent the wheel."
I disagree. There is no value in shifting through fake news. To me it makes sense to have filters in the same way as my email client has a spam filter, namely as a convenience for me not to have to navigate through crappy spam messages.

I believe it's important, however, that fake news filters need to be configurable by the end consumer (=me) rather than by someone else such as the site that delivers the news. But that's no different from spam, I'd never use server-side spam filters with unknown blacklists either. If you think you're being tricked, you can occasionally turn off the fake news filter and check the result yourself, or look in your "fake news folder", so I don't see what harm could be done except improving the information quality.

However, I don't think fake news can be detected heuristically by text data mining in the same way as spam, instead the detector must take a look at the data sources and evaluate those.
I believe this is what Bartweiss is referring to: http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/fiction/toast/to...

I attempted a while back to download and read some of that but quit after being frustrated by the awful user experience of every epub software that I tried. I couldn't find one that supported whatever form of linking the book uses. If I wanted to go directly to a story I just had to flip until I got there.
I totally agree. Capitalism should be the means for generating enough wealth for everyone to eventually no longer have to spend their lives toiling away. Unfortunately, it's been perverted (especially in the U.S.) into a religion of sorts. It's treated as a moral framework, an end rather that a means to an end. We no longer pursue capitalism in order to achieve goals, capitalism has become the goal. Wealth is seen as an indicator of righteousness and life success and lack of wealth must be due to personal shortcomings. Nothing sums this up more in the U.S., in my opinion, than the surge in popularity of the prosperity gospel.

I did a second phone interview at Amazon once. I have several years experience and understood the algorithm for the problem fine but got tripped up on the syntax a little. I was interviewing for a specific team and I could tell the interviewer was just looking for an excuse not to hire me. Perhaps I dodged a bullet in not getting on that team, but now I have to wait before I can apply anywhere else at Amazon.
I think they did:

> How can you claim to protect customer data or respect customer privacy without looking at the data flowing out the front door?
I Still wish they did the opposite. I want to seamlessly run an occasional windows app in linux, and I would pay for it. There is literally zero chance of me switching back to windows for day to day usage.

Edit:

idobai, I can't reply because your account is banned, but last I tried Wine and Crossover do not work for the apps I am trying to use.

Edit 2:
cyloneyes, you're banned too. But "They" would be Microsoft. They are the only ones who could really do it.
This is actually a brilliant idea.

> soon-to-be-obsolete tech of yesteryear

Not if it focuses on things like basic algos, and understanding basic data structure.

Then it would be timeless.

And if that makes employers more confident in my abilities, then I will gladly do that.

Because it's a lot easier to study for a standard test than a bunch of different tech interview scenarios.
Yes. Take Andrew Carnegie as an example [1]. The dream is that you can eventually, through work and luck, make it big. You can also do the same to make i comfortable. For the most part that is still around.

What we're seeing now is a country that combined the worst of capitalism and the worst of socialism. For example, free university education. There are two problems with this. First not everyone needs a university education, but making it more common forces people to have it just to compete. Second, the university system that the US has is too expensive to support such a plan due to the confluence of capital and social engineering. Our school want to have private room dorms. This makes the infrastructure more expensive than our EU counterparts with common living styles. As a nation, we now expect such accommodations. The US government, with tax payer money, can't afford to sustain such a system, but the voters will require it. As a result we are stuck.

Now how does this second point relate to the first? The US is still able to experiment. Look at Udacity or Coursera. We're trying to move to certifications for technical skills rather than requiring a full degree. Will this pan out? No idea (as an OMSCS student I hope it does). It does bring the cost down. This hopefully will offset the expenses associated with college, as well as its debt. Notice we've removed the expensive part, housing, from the college equation by decoupling it from the official school.
Can anyone please tell if Windows SubSystem for Linux coexists well with Cygwin64 and/or msys? I have Cygwin64 installed. I don't use it a lot but it helps to run some deployment bash scripts which otherwise won't run on Windows. So it will be good to know if Windows SubSystem for Linux messes up with it or not.
You're saying that the video game or the celebrity is giving attention to the person watching it? Either I don't understand your comment, or you are the one who has it backwards...
How on earth do you identify the illegitimately outflowing data in the vast soup of data being emitted from the browser? Do you have a magic key that lets you decode Microsoft telemetry, for example?

Surely the real solution here if you insist is to not pretend that you've got real HTTPS but to block 80/443 altogether and make applications use a proxy.

I agree. If you take the time to interview at Google or Facebook and you actually want the job it's 100% worth it to bone up on cracking the coding interview as well as the papers they have published about their systems.

Cracking the coding interview is damn near encyclopedic and many interview question you are asked that have a "trick" to them will probably have something you can adapt from the book. You go in knowing most of the tricks and it's a huge edge.
Dual numbers are a blast, especially with type-templated languages. I wrote a Scala implementation some time ago that I would like to share: http://www.win-vector.com/blog/2010/06/automatic-differentia...

The amount Amazon spends on airfare for these wasted trips must be staggering. I'm in Chicago and I don't know very many people who haven't gone on this strange pilgrimage to Seattle.
The oracle is the publishing editor at the each news service. If you look on NYT.com for example, they carry their articles, Reuters, Associated Press, etc...
This has a couple advantages:

1. A test that reads as natural language is easy to understand. Straightforward, declarative tests are a big win IMO.
2. This allows for better test result reporting: instead of assertion failed, the utility can tell you more (expected 4 but got 3).
CTOS, or Convergent Technologies' Operating System, x86. It was a message-based client-server OS that was popular because it allowed diskless workstations hooked to a server. Shared disk, network, printers etc. Much more capable that DOS. Ran in a 1MB machine (they used to have those!) No special network cards - networking was built in. And no system administrator needed. Popular with govt buyers who calculated total cost of ownership for the whole system.

Convergent manufactured their own line of desktop computers. Initially marketed as 'scientific', they quickly found that enterprise was where the money was. So we built a whole office suite, Document Designer, editors, print engine, a Multiplan port (pre-Excel) from a goofy guy at a company called Microsoft.
You don't have to memorize 1000 algorithms. Honestly you could have a really good understanding of when and how to use about 10 algorithms and probably do very well on most interviews.
You probably didn't intend this, but your comment reads like you're trying to give advice to the author on how to pass the screening. The author explains how these initial mails set wrong expectations. They specifically mention having zero interest in learning the algorithmic skills tested for in the screening process.

It's a dishonest approach and the response laid out in the article works just fine to weed out shady recruiters doing this.
I was thinking something a bit more complete than just that.

I was thinking of a government itself that was automated, by the people and for the people. Taxes and expenditures could be drilled down to an arbitrary fine level. Laws themselves could come from the public as well as something similar to our current congress.

However, I'm thinking of running proposed laws through a form of a simulator before being wide-spread. Think of it like Jenkins-For-Law. It wouldn't catch everything, but would find egregious side-effects. Laws with too many side-effects would be denied, without some sort of super-majority.

The law itself would be a provable, queryable corpus. There would be no confusion about "Is this legal". Side-effects would be found by lack of correlation and fuzzy definitions.

Obviously, this wouldn't be our government. Or it would require a stark discussion between all 50 states at a Constitutional Convention (yeah, good luck). I like the idea how Estonia is going about E-Government.

I can dream, I guess.
I just looked through the source code real quick, and while I may have missed something it seems to be storing the credentials client side, not server side. Unless you mean on Google's servers, then yeah.
Nobody does that because being smart is of no guarantee that this person can be of any use to a business.
Let me recommend Carr's take on the manifest: http://www.roughtype.com/?p=7651
Yes. Not perfectly, of course, but it gives them the experience of having attention paid to them.
Makes sense. My email might be public, but at least my water meter is encrypted.
I'd like to second the Thermapen.

It's been engineered exactly as much as necessary. Long probe, nearly instant reading, no buttons, no extra features or complicated display. Compact, splash-resistant, long battery life, accurate up to 300°C.

Just stick the probe into a thing, and a large seven-segment display tells you the temperature in under a second.
I remember doing a phone screen with a company who shall remain nameless, but it was a phone company that has a three letter name and two of those letters are the same :-). It went pretty well, and I predictably got not response back from them. A month or so later I accepted another job, moved my family across the country, and started on the new job. About 2 weeks into my new job, Three Letter Company's recruiter calls back and said the phone screen went great! Can I come in for a round of in-person interviews?

I LOLed over the phone, it was a riot.

EDIT: On the other extreme hand, it's a HUGE turn-off when a recruiter makes an incorrect assumption about my time availability in the initial contact. Stop me when you've seen this one: "Your background looks great! Please tell me what time slots today would work for you in order to discuss this role." Wow, really? You're assuming I have time to call you RIGHT NOW?
I'm not sure I understand your point -- possibly we're agreeing?

To clarify, it seems to me the interviews tend to focus on things like "what's a good data structure for the social network in a Facebook clone?" but that's only 1% of the actual job, 5% tops.

It's true that those technical design decisions are very important, but they're not decisions that every engineer needs to make on their own on a day-to-day basis. They come up fairly rarely in a typical project and usually multiple people will be involved.

I don't have any easy answers -- I don't know a good way to interview for the other 95%+ of useful skills, like communicating well within a team, testing, debugging, benchmarking, writing documentation, good source control practice, knowledge of standard tools, meta-knowledge of how to learn about standard tools, how to evaluate new tools, system administration, dealing with production panics, etc.
It might work in ConEmu. As for the native Windows console, I wouldn't hold my breath, considering that that'd be rather incompatible with the current framebuffer and would probably require a lot of new Windows APIs.
It is quite good, as it is the basis of Solaris IDE, just some features are missing.

See his posts How We Interview Programmers [0] and Hacker-vs-Programmer [1] for more insight. It is ironic, then, that the author is claiming that algorithms, and knowledge of them, are unimportant for a programmer. "There is no point in giving me binary-tree-traversing questions; I don't know those answers and will never be interested in learning them." He believes he is a good programmer, and that learning algorithms is not necessary to qualify as a good programmer.

I think the claim is based on the idea that we now have tons of memory and disk, so programmers don't need to worry about optimization. Which seems to have an obvious contradiction, which is that if you have huge quantities of memory and disk then ignorance of algorithms, and, e.g. O(n^2) causes shit-hitting-fan failures. Re: [2].
