The alarming time for me is on a sunny day after a period of rain/wind. They seem a little shitty if they are boxed up for a long time.
Also I would look at how Wikipedia handles news. Not many people are probably aware of it but they do post current news on the front of the site. It's slower to come out then traditional news but it is a good source because of how well they go about citing sources.
I thought so too, but they are after the references. Still I was disappointed that it wasn't a "proof without words" article.
I might do something like that on my own time as a learning experience, but not as part of my job. The less surface area we have to support the better.

It's also a lot easier to onboard new people if you're using a popular third party package and you have thousands of people that have already had the same problems you might encounter.

But they seem to be the only one with a former female engineer who can write well and is willing to do so.

One of the less obvious lessons from this is the power of good writing. I know Susan Fowler's story is compelling on its own, but I believe her ability to write about it so well resulted in the backlash Uber is facing today.

Her blog post is engaging, to the point and her narration sets the right tone and hits the right emotional chords.

This is the perfect example of "the pen is mightier than the sword."

Reminds me of when I was a neuro tech, and one of the neurologists in the department had the worst handwriting I've ever seen. Usually we could nut out what the referrals said, but one of them was so bad that we had to knock on his door and ask for clarification. He couldn't read it himself and ended up saying "well, I know the patient, and what they need is...". Absolutely lovely bloke, but "doctor's handwriting" to the extreme...

That would be assuming that the evolutionary progression to organic life as intelligent as humans must follow a similar path. Is there evidence that evolution is directed and that intelligence is some sort of "higher form", or is intelligence an arbitrary adaptation like any other, and could have occurred earlier in history? I could be wrong but I believe the latter is the current interpretation of evolution, in that humans could eventually evolve to something with _less_ intelligence.

>Naked self-interested democracy is mob rule

Is naked self-interest not exactly what's going on here? Do you think these people relishing the thought of some deus ex machina overturning of the 2016 election by the "deep state" wouldn't be arguing these exact same points were the shoe on the other foot?

>The reason we have the concept of checks and balances is because democracy needs to be restrained.

Where exactly does the unelected and unaccountable "deep state" fit into our system of checks and balances? Do we even know what level of power and influence they have, or over whom they have it? If they do a bad job, will we be able to signal our dissatisfaction with the officials we do democratically elect? Do we even know who these people are?
I agree that keeping track of writers is important. I currently don't have an easy way to do that. Anyone aware of a source that rates journalists in a centralized manner?

I think it is important to keep in mind the publisher, as they do have a responsibility for choosing the articles and journalists they publish. If it becomes clear that a publisher has a tendency to publish low quality (for various measures of quality), I think it does make sense to take that into account for anything else the publisher may publish.

First the brute force algorithm. Then we would ask them how could they optimize it. A lot of people couldn't even get to the brute force algorithm.

1st level optimization: skip even numbers.

2nd level optimization that I was the only person to get when I had to interview for the company: loop starting at 2, and go the square root of the argument.
One of my team got a new MBP in December. He turned it on yesterday and the hard drive isn't recognized and the machine refuses to boot. The Apple store can't do anything but exchange it, there's no way to get to the disk short of taking it to a data recovery shop, which is a dicey proposition at best. I haven't seen many reports of this particular problem elsewhere, but I've had a feeling that apple's quality has been falling, and this is yet another point of anecdata. I think he'll return it and get a Thinkpad, and go full Linux. The MBPs are sexy, but, imho, the price:value ratio has tipped.

Can't wait for the entry on quicksort.
They really dont. The compiler can still be malicious since developers might be malicious or just screw up. You're just increasing probability the binary has same vulnerabilities as the source with nothing added during compilation.

You can just as easily just download the source over one or more links to your OS then compile it locally. That was what TCSEC required for trusted distribution. TCSEC was partly designed by guy (Karger) who invented the compiling-compiler attack if you're wondering credibility. If your existing compiler is subverted, then your system is probably subverted with rootkit given that's easier than sniping one program you may never use the intended way with exotic attack. If you cant trust the repos for source or local compiler, then how did you trust your kernel or anything else to begin with?

The real solution is secure SCM, ability to build from source, and a trusted point to start with. You have the latter unless your system is pre-backdoored. Reproducible builds might have other benefits such as during debugging. It's bringing you little security benefit over the stronger alternative I mentioned.
> absolutely useless except to protect the company's hide.

But that's my point. If Uber's HR properly cared about protecting the company's hide, they would have immediately disciplined the manager involved, and "sexually propositioning a first-day direct report" is so egregiously over the line that they would have fired the manager.

Uber's HR failed here not because they only cared about protecting the company's hide, but because they didn't.
Shameless plug:

After years working with Ruby, I felt that "bang" methods should only be used for methods which mutate the receiver. Many methods which do do so do not have a "!" at the end.

To that end I created a little library called "Bang All The Things" :) https://github.com/pmarreck/ruby-snippets/blob/master/bang_a...

I'm convinced that this simplification helps prevent bugs, at the minor cost of changing some conventions possibly borrowed from other languages.

I have since (mostly) moved on to Elixir which does not have the "mutability problem" at all.

Its up to the individual how to live their lives of course but consuming a big mac meal along with a diet coke and finishing it off with a doughnut for dessert and then wondering why you're getting fat and now suffer from 10 different ailments due to it is silly. A lot of things you can't control, but some things you can.

Chrome 58 gives a smaller font size (1.5em, same as <h2>) for <h1> elements under <section> and friends:

-webkit-margin-before: 0.83em;

And <h1> keeps shrinking as you nest <section>s. So yes, someone has actually implemented it. (I personally don't like the <article> part, but well -- whatever.)

Retina on my iPhone SE is a major plus because it has a smaller screen and I hold it closer, 8" away. On a laptop, I'm reading 24" away. I'm not saying Retina on the MBP isn't nice. But price/USB/retina/weight/memory/storage in totality came out in the Air's favor. If Apple had kept USB and not jacked the price, I probably would have bought another MBP.

The thumb, in this scale metaphor, is requiring an Apple computer to create software for the iPhone. From what I've seen, there is little to correct this. Even remoting into a Mac Mini won't help, it just makes things harder. So if you need to tap that particular segment, you have to have an Apple computer, and it will probably be a MBP due to convenience.
An infinite loop is a loop that never ends, it'd not be possible to implement a function that's expected to return in terms of an infinite loop.

Here the algorithm is quadratic but will, theoretically, always complete. Thus there is no bug, but a performance problem. I think that a bug is a mistake in a programme that causes erroneous behaviour.

Say if I was writing a programme which needed to make a computation which is doable only with a quadratic algorithm. Should I not write that programme at all because it'd be a bug, albeit in most cases it'd do the processing I needed?

I'd rather call this a mistake as long as the output from the function is as expected. I'm not saying that it's a negligible mistake to use a quadratic algo where there is a linear one though. Just that I doubt it is fundamentally a bug.

> Really bad article. Not surprised its coming from HBR. No facts or data to back up what he is saying.

HBR is a practitioner's magazine; it's purpose is less to offer the evidence and more keep readers abreast of research and thinking in the field. Did feel the citations in the article were insufficient? There seems to be a number of them for any interested reader to follow up on.

For example: http://is.muni.cz/el/1421/jaro2009/PSB_516/6390561/w5.pdf

> How do you measure someone being incompetent? Since when does competence make you a good leader?

Maybe there's some angle I haven't considered, but competence at being a good leader is basically the same thing as being a good leader. Unless you actively set out to be a bad one I suppose.

As for measuring, it gets mushy fairly quickly when looking at meta-analysis. You'll want to dig one level deeper to get an understanding of that; I'll pass personally ;)

> Author believes CEOs should be selected by having them take a competence and personality test...

Virtually all publications aimed at practitioners are rife with conflict of interest, and HBR is no different. The author is the CEO of an assessment company.

Don't run with a story until you can verify it? I know that would have stopped them from running 90% of their anti trump stories because there isn't a lot of evidence for them but if they actually did that as a whole, I don't think trump would be president.

People still underestimate how well trump is able to play the game of calling out the media for crying wolf.

> Until then, things like this will happen. Assuming all media is bad because of these incidents is silly.

I'm really not dismissing all media, I'm just applying different standards to different outlets based on their biases. If i see a story on WaPo about something bad trump did, it better be well sourced and founded otherwise it goes in the trash.

Same with breitbart or any other right wing outlet, If they are making a claim that fits their narrative then you should look purely at the underlying facts and cut out the speculation.
> In a town like that, I'd probably get lynched and/or raped for just one of those words.

"If sexual harassment is this entrenched, what is the answer?"

Well, one answer is to create stronger federal legislation that criminalizes this kind of behavior and protects plaintiffs. The ruling in the Ellen Pao case exposed the weakness of current law and judicial precedent.

Until plaintiffs feel secure in bringing charges and until companies feel true fear (legal and financial costs) in getting caught, I doubt much will change.

You don't think that during a congressman or president's term, they need to at least appear to have acted in the best interests of their constituents, or risk losing their next election? Doesn't this give the people some amount of power over the people they elect during their term?

>The people have little power where Congress is concerned, less where the President is concerned, and none where the Judiciary is at issue.

Presidential candidates often include supreme court appointments in their campaign promises, and it's implicit that they'll fill other judiciary appointments with ones that align with their values. You don't think this is an example of elected officials being beholden to their constituents? If a president appointed to the supreme court a judge that didn't align with the values of his constituents, wouldn't it reflect poorly on him and his party?
