Having a higher threshold for publication can be imposed without detailing who does what work. You might argue that this means less research will get produced, but it's probably worth it. Practitioners underestimate the difficulty of transferring knowledge to outsiders because of frictions due to trust, clarity, and tacit knowledge.

If you're hiring for "great", you need to realize it is a two way street.

As an employer, if you really think a white board quiz is the best way to see if you want to work with someone, ask the candidate to bring a couple of questions for the interviewer to solve, you know, so the candidate can tell if they want to work with you.

An interview is a date - you want to find out if you're compatible without coming off as a jerk.

That said, white board stuff never bothered me. I don't remember caring that much if I got the job and talking to other developers is kinda enjoyable.
Maybe it could score labs based on how many of the studies have been reproduced successfully?

If something is not reproduced, and submitted by a lab with a low score, people would take it less seriously.
Obviously going out of his way to implement in a secure way as a software practitioner. I would love to see a review of the design and implementation from the standpoint of a security expert.
You don't have to ask your employer to hire someone else, you can do that yourself. Find an expert and pay them to diagnose the problem. If you get the right person they'll probably be able to work it out in short order and it won't cost you a fortune.
My memory is fuzzy, but I'm pretty sure I did this with WebRTC a while ago. Use RTCPeerConnection in unreliable mode, "peer" with the server, and you should have a UDP-backed SCTP connection. I'll try to dig up my PoCs on this.

Edit: Oh he mentions this, but invalidates it due to the complexity of typical P2P:

> But from a game developer point of view, all this complexity seems like dead weight, when STUN, ICE and TURN are completely completely unnecessary to communicate with dedicated servers, which have public IPs.

I don't remember this being complex (there was some off-the-shelf library for getting a data connection on the server-side), but YMMV.

While problem-solving is fine, I am not a fan of algorithms questions.

Not because algorithms are unimportant, but because being able to code a heapsort from memory is, from a skills perspective, effectively useless.

As the creator of Homebrew put it: "90% of our engineers use the software you wrote, but you can’t invert a binary tree on a whiteboard so fuck off."

To me, it is enough to know what algorithms you could bring to bear on a given problem, and have a rough knowledge of their complexity.

The things I care more about are: Can you tackle a messy-real world problem, one that doesn't have a clear solution? Do you collaborate effectively as a member of a team? What about your software engineering skills -- is your code well-tested and readable? That sort of thing.

That latter point is important. The best engineer in the world is a business liability if nobody else can maintain their code.
Why care?

> the biggest application I've heard about receiving VR investment is a desktop replacement - not exactly something from which I'd expect a compelling VR experience.

I completely disagree with this. A good desktop replacement is exactly what you'd want from a compelling VR experience.

1. It's a literal virtual reality that users would use to replace actual reality.

2. If you can make a compelling, usable desktop replacement, then you've successfully made a reason for many VR users to be happy with never taking off their headsets. Tired of a game? Go back to the desktop environment. Want to look up some tips? Go back to the desktop environment. Want to look at links from friends? Go back to the desktop environment.

3. A compelling desktop environment is probably far more technically greedy than an actual game since you need to have a high resolution headset to simulate the desktop with at least the fidelity of a real screen... and most people are going to want at least two of those high-resolution virtual screens in their field of vision.
It's a tax dodge. Taxes paid by ARAMCO to the Government of Saudi Arabia are meaningless, because ARAMCO is owned by the Government of Saudi Arabia. However, those taxes can be deducted from US taxes by US companies which import Saudi oil.
I hear you on that -- I've been looking for a path that starts with the best-structured languages, as vehicles for learning the more powerful concepts: static vs dynamic typing et al. So, Golang, Python, or Typescript. School in question is a bit behind the curve -- "PHP/MySQL".

Usually replacing software with dedicated hardware tends to speed things up and I don't think it's obvious that using explicit communication would actually speed things up. Most memory operations don't require any form of sharing and having the sharing that's required happen automatically seems efficient.

Getting rid of virtual memory is potentially a big win, especially for architectures where you can't make the L1D cache virtually indexed but physically tagged. And in general there are a lot of special cases you don't even have to think about if different memory addresses can't alias to the same memory. You do lose out on a lot of software tricks there, though.
This is an aside, but whenever choosing a microcontroller I always read the Errata. You'd be surprised that TI or Microchip or whoever ships silicon with blocks of functionality that just don't work.

If I were you in this situation, I'd get on the phone with Microchip's closest field engineer, and maybe they can point you in the right direction, especially if this is a known issue. Perhaps they can connect you with engineering support farther up the chain.

Wouldn't your team now even have to decide how to deal with this even after some specific well known caches have been cleared? I mean there's no guarantee that someone may not have collected all this data and use it to target those cloudflare customer sites. Are you planning to ask all your customers to reset all their access credentials and other secrets?
2G networks in the US are being phased out. AT&T shut theirs down several months ago. Most of the headlines I saw were about the Nissan Leaf needing a 3G modem retrofit to keep working with Nissan's connected car service, since nobody much used the 2G network for phones anymore.
#2 saves a little but not much and precludes unsafe low-level code completely. #1 I think impairs many HLLs, certainly every multithreaded imperative shared memory ones (and IMO nothing is close to these in terms of efficiency on multicore); which languages can work well without cache coherence? (I worked in C++ on multicore with no hw coherence btw. Quite the cruel and unusual punishment.)

Electric cars isn't just for environment. It's really nice to have car which doesn't have all these complicated mechanics that wears out all the time and requires so much maintenance. About 2/3rd of the cars I have owned died before they crossed 60,000 miles. There are only few brands and models in market that can pull off 200K miles which means gas powered vehicles constantly keeps you on debt. Have you seen the acceleration in electric cars? Noise levels? It uses magnetic flux for breaking, so no break pads and its far more effective. You get tons of space for storage freed up from space taken up by huge multi-cylinder engines. Add on to the fact that several places offer free changing which is equivalent to getting free gas all the time. If every gas pump offered charging or battery swap then there are exactly zero reasons to own gas powered cars even if you didn't gave a damn about environment.

> We need a movement to legalize borders as being under control of the legal system of the country.

They are subject to the legal system of the US. It's just that, within 100 miles of any border, Constitutional rights are limited, and non-citizens have fewer rights at border crossings.
The 2017 Bolt claims a 238 mile range a lot like Lenovo claims my laptop has 10 hour battery life. I'm lucky to get 4 hours with normal use, but if I turn off my music, disable wifi, turn the screen brightness all the way down, don't use Chrome, etc. I'll probably get at least double.
The browser is a much better multi-user operating system than the actual operating systems people tend to use. A video game on the average Windows, Mac, or Linux desktop has full read and write access to the memory of a tax app on the same desktop, defeating the entire point of memory protection. If the game and the tax app are in a browser (or in a mobile OS, to their credit), this isn't so.

That desktop OSes happen to be called "desktop OSes" and web browsers happen to be called "web browsers" is fairly irrelevant to what they're actually good at. Desktop OSes make great hardware abstraction layers, just as server OSes make great hardware abstraction layers for virtualization platforms. But they're fundamentally misdesigned for much of anything else.
While I'm sure many will jump on this as a symptom of the current political climate, I'm more inclined to trust the statement from border control regarding an inexperienced agent. Everybody chill.

>Thank you for your honest replay. Those prices are just for short stays of 2 days to 1 week

I realize that. The examples of better places I found were for daily rentals, the most expensive option. I bet if I were to look at similar places for longer periods of time I could easily find for an even lower price than what you are offering.

I don't have a problem with what you are trying to do, my issue is that you are advertising this pretending like you are a non-profit and just trying to break even, when that obviously cannot be the case when you are charging at least twice as much as better housing options.
There are many things you can do with the association, here's a non-exhaustive list:

- do the SNPs cause changes in a gene of interest? are the changes synonymous (cause base change, but the protein amino acid is identical since several codons code for the same amino acid, but this can cause problems in mRNA folding)? Are the changes non-synonymous (cause base change, and a different amino acid)? How strong are the non-synonymous changes? It could be that you get a shorter protein because a SNP introduced an early STOP codon, or changes a hydrophile to a hydrophobe amino acid, etc. From there you can check whether this change influences the phenotype by introducing this changed protein into another individual to see whether the phenotype is reproduced, this rarely works in more complex species as you don't have a single gene -> single phenotype cause

- you can use the ratio of synonymous/non-synonymous SNPs to approximate selection: genes under positive selection show more non-synonymous changes, these are usually genes involved in resistance who have to keep up with fungal/viral invaders, or venom genes, etc., genes under negative selection show more synonymous changes, these are usually housekeeping genes or other single copy genes that are important

- are the SNPs closely upstream or downstream from a gene of interest? It's still a bit hard to find binding sites for transcription factors (esp. outside of model species), so the SNP could be in a binding site where the whole transcription apparatus binds - do we see different transcription level for this gene in other individuals without the SNP?

- after DNA folding, is the SNP close to an interesting gene? Only with new HiC data can we test this, SNPs that were >10,000 base pairs away are after folding right next to the gene

- is the SNP in Linkage Disequilibrium with something interesting? In other words, is the SNP inherited together with something interesting? This could point towards selection

Your "90/10 all the way down" explanation is a really good one that I may borrow. I often tell people new to the field that because there's more in the overall field of data science that anyone can know, everyone feels like they're deficient from time to time since an aspect you don't understand but someone else does will naturally come up. It can be useful when that happens to keep in mind the subjects that you do know well and others don't to help stave off the impostor syndrome that can crop up.
Just curious, what did you mean by this:

If your architecture meets these requirements, I'll consider a physical implementation very seriously (because we could use that kind of thing), and if it works out, you'll get a chip

My partner and I are visiting Europe shortly (from NZ). We were going to transit the US on the way back, stopping for a few days. Luckily we hadn't booked return flights yet, and have since decided to visit Canada instead (luckily, Air NZ runs direct flights from Vancouver to Auckland now).

We're pretty boring pakeha, and I doubt we'd have trouble at the border. But... given a few months more until we'd be visiting, we're uncertain enough about what other legal requirements might get rammed through (and the ETSA is already enough of a hassle) that it just doesn't seem worthwhile.

This is just an anecdote, and I'm sure I'm being overly paranoid. But I don't really want to tack on a potentially very stressful end to a holiday. It makes me sad to think of how trivial an inconvenience this is for me, compared to friends I have who are much more strongly affected by the ban.

What are your Constitutional Rights at border crossing? What are rights of non-citizens? From various incidents that have come out it seems as if it's the Wild West where whatever the idiot harassing you decides, with little recourse if you disagree. Further it makes no sense to arbitrarily take away all citizens rights in certain locations in the country... that's guilty before proven innocent.

I loved this (paraphrased) quote:

To quote Ken Thompson (from memory) – "Lisp is not a special enough language to warrant a hardware implementation. The PDP-10 is a great Lisp machine. The PDP-11 is a great Lisp machine. I told these guys, you're crazy."
I agree with the principle, but I wonder if there are actually certain issues which dominate the news today where simply collecting all the arguments for the other side turns into a really large, unmanageable endeavor because the new information never seems to end (e.g. climate change).
Borders are under control of the legal system and policing them is a right that's granted to the Federal government by the constitution. It makes complete sense that the Federal government, which is elected by US citizens would be able to policy foreigners entering the country without being held accountable to them. That's how every country in the world works. You may not like this system now that "the wrong people" have been elected to run the federal government but that's the way the system works and it's incredibly reasonable.

I can't see how you draw the analogue of to a protection racket, they're not collecting money from anyone here.
I'm at $160k in the Valley (lead developer with engineering management focus & high quality developer background, originally hired as just an engineer at this amount), but I could easily flip the switch to make over $300k if I want (I have turned down offers greater than this) - I'm very happy where I am right now is my caveat, as my workplace checks every single mark I have as desired/nice to have except compensation.

Earlier in my career I would job search & up my compensation through job hopping. I always had done some substantial open source work on major projects (several of the 150 most starred on GitHub), but I accelerated my work in open source at one point and demonstrated the high quality & unusually high volume I was able to output, while still having a full time job & not doing open source during work for the most part. That experience, along with the volume of accomplishments I have from my work experience, has resulted in excellent dividends for me, as it has allowed me to have my pick of engineering jobs for the most part (whether it'd be a founding engineer, principal engineer, or director of engineering role). I picked my current job very carefully after getting laid off from my previous job (and I was already checked out and actively interviewing at other companies by that point because I was fed up), ending up with a company I still am at almost 2 years later, longest I have been at a job.

I started my career late though - I only am 3 months removed from 4 years in software engineering, after dropping out of a PhD program in math and a stint in the Marine Corps. I did not program prior - I was actually desperate for any job.
