This exactly. I'm still baffled by claims that Windows 10 has a good desktop UI when I see its iconography [1], huge click (touch) targets [2], and wildly inconsistent use of whitespace [3]. That's not even mentioning the forced updates and always-on telemetry. I'm not sure how one can say macOS is more of a walled garden than Windows at this point, at least macOS's security features will get out of your way if you ask nicely.

Good point. Although I guess my broader point is that the decentralized nature of web development is actually kind of a huge disadvantage in pretty much every way except "flexibility", and that the cons very much outweigh the pros.

Imho, patents should work like this:

Company or private person submits a patent.

The government determines what they would pay to make the technology open (i.e., benefits to society). This is similar to the process of determining the subsidy to develop new technology.

Government makes an offer. Submitter can accept or reject.

If rejected, the patent remains secret, but other companies have the right to independently invent the same technology.

If accepted, the patent is published. If other companies want to use the technology, they will need to buy a license from the government. Submitter has no control over who may or may not use the technology.
Interesting, so to make people stop thinking strategically and run the way I want, just throw shit at you?

> it's the metric itself that's broken.

That's the point. When a metric is broken, you can exploit its defects.

Let's say you have two surgeons applying for a job. One has the image down, one does not. Both have a 90% success rate in their surgery. The one with the better image will get hired more often. The one with the bad image will have to be better at his job (95% success rate) to get hired as often.

When you have a highly overvalued attribute, that attribute becomes an indicator of overvaluation. Meaning, it's a negative indicator of true value. The article applies this rule to "image".

If I told you that startups with a name that started with an "S" got 10x the early valuation compared to other companies, would you ever invest in a company that started with an "S"? Hopefully not. The startup may be good, but the odds are lower it would ever live up to its hype.

The definition of isIterable here is a bit fun. In most real world cases, you end up needing to specify it down a bit:

isinstance(el, collections.Iterable) and not isinstance(el, str)

Is the most common one. The first clause to check if it's an iterable (as per the collections.Iterable abstract base class - for those unfamiliar, basically a check for the `__iter__()` method), the second to check it's not a string, which is also iterable, but generally you don't want to split into individual letters - and if you do, you'll need to add more checks as strings split to other 1-length strings that are still iterable, making an infinite loop.

Of course, the original problem did state "lists" explicitly, so I guess you could just type check for lists, but that's really unpythonic and not useful in the real world.

No, the argument being made was:

Some people insist that not C, therefore they are unknowingly implying not B.

For anyone reading my above comment and who will not go through the sub threads:

I did not mean that I see sexual harassment claims like this one everywhere.

When I said "Ive seen this type of complain", I was talking about the person I was replying to. Employees who say the company never do anything when they bitch about stuff. Employees bitch a lot, so its hard to tell apart companies like what Uber seems to be, from companies with a lot of whiny employees, without actually working there.

Short of the Apple and Googles of the world, or the little koolaid trendy startups, all companies have a percentage of fussy employees who will say their employers screwed them over, so we have to take what people say with a grain of salt. Because we have to take so much with a grain of salt, we can't proactively find real offenders (as easily).

Ah, you caught me out. I was only pretending when I said "You can use them any way you want". In fact you're not allowed to discuss any topics. You seem to interpret everything anyone says as an attempt to censor you, so it will only be fruitless and aggravating for people to attempt to converse with you in good faith anyway.

Everyone else though, will be aware that words can have unexpected connotations, like the use of the word "thugs" or "religious freedom" or "globalist bankers" in modern american politics, and can adjust accordingly.

This is quite possible with the permission layer of the data service in Hasura. Why not add a new role that only 'blah234' and 'blah546' can be part of? All you have to do is to define permissions on this role.

Also, creating permissions and roles are all exposed via API calls, in case you have a requirement where you need to create these dynamically.

Management concentrates on keeping blood sugar levels as close to normal, without causing low blood sugar.

No. You can try to rationalize it all you want, but at the end of the day, as you said, they prioritized managing performance over dealing with harassment and sexism. And that is NOT what good hearted people do.

Is there more than just Filecoin? Sia and Storj both only do file contracts, consensus is driven by other means (Proof of Work for Sia, Counterparty for Storj).

As for Filecoin, I believe that it has several significant issues, both with the game theory (super linear returns when investing in hashrate and storage simultaneously - a massive centralization pressure), and with data withholding attacks (to mine on Filecoin, you need to have the Filecoin data. What if the existing miners decide not to give it to you?).
A close friend recently related to me that during an interview process the HR contact mentioned that they had just revoked an offer from someone who 'asked for too much' during negotiations.

Director level position (non-profit, Washington DC). Candidate asked for ~100k, and they were willing to give it to them - until they got a detailed salary history and found out their current salary was ~80k... so they would've only offered ~85k.

So they were absolutely fine with paying 100k for the job (very reasonable for the role and size of the org), until they learned it would be a decent pay increase for the new hire. Insane.

It will not surprise anyone to learn this org has a bad reputation for internal culture and holding on to talent.

It's so strange for me to read opinions like that about Python3's string handling. Are you a newer programmer, did you start with LPTHW? You said your 'unicode headaches' went down when you switched to Python3, but that LPTHW was your favorite intro which suggests you might not have written much Python2 and calls into question the number of headaches that Python2 caused you.

Their unicode implementation is sub optimal at best, it doesn't need to be so complex. They need to go back to the simplicity of Python2's strings but modernize it. Make everything a bytestring and assume the encoding is UTF8. That's what everyone else is standardizing on.

While this is interesting to speculate about, perhaps it would be best to start with something like the machine learning literature, where everything is already run computationally, and those in the field have the skills to easily scratch their own itch to improve the system so that it works for them.

Even in machine learning, how difficult would it be to get that field to adopt a unified experiment running system? It sounds like a huge engineering project that would have to adapt to all sorts of computational systems. All sorts of batch systems, all sorts of hadoop or hadoop like systems. And that's going to be far easier than handling wet lab stuff.

I think that the lack of something like this in ML shows that there's enough overhead that it would impede day-to-day working conditions. Or maybe it just hasn't been invented yet in the right form. There are loads and loads of workflow systems for batch computation, but I've never encountered one that I like.

In genomics, one of the more popular tools for that is called Galaxy. But even here, I would argue that the ML community is much better situated to develop and enforce use of such a system than genomics.

Power Computing clones were great, though. I had one and it was very reliable, excellent value for money. They were built like PCs and at the time, PCs were a lot better-made in many respects than low-end Macs. (High-end Macs were nice but very expensive, and still not as fast as high-end PCs.)

A clone program now would have a totally different dynamic, since Apple is incredibly successful rather than close to bankruptcy. I still don't know if it would make business sense for them, but for Mac users like me it would be absolutely terrific.

A slight rewrite makes this a reasonable question in Java. A list of lists has a tree structure and asking candidates how to print the items in a tree in depth-first order is reasonable.

The main issue is that you'd never use a list as a tree node in Java. There would be an explicit Node class of some sort.

I do ask a question where one possible solution is to define your own Node class, build a tree, and print it out. But you can also solve it without even realizing you're working with a tree.
