While I too enjoyed this film in my formative days, the book "The Cuckoo's Egg" really blew my mind when I read it back in 2005. If you are a fan of Wargames you would love this book.

Admittedly it's a bit dated now but it holds the same nostalgia that Wargames does.

I find looking in the eyes to work better. Cmon man, this is not high school.
If only.
With some corporate cultures there is little to no value placed on retention. In fact, as crazy as it sounds, employees are seen as a liability. This was especially obvious during the great offshoring wave of the last decade where companies couldn't wait to shed loyal-yet-expensive employees with long work histories with replaceable contract workers on the other side of the world. We all know how well that turned out.

Microsoft's (in)famous "rank&yank" comes to mind, where the employees of each department were annually scored for performance and lowest 10% were let go. Unfortunately this was copied by quite a few other companies. In this environment, absolute performance is not enough to keep one's employment, only relative performance among peers. Therefore, it is best to work with knuckleheads, easily outperformed, than with a group of geniuses where a constant struggle will exist. Perhaps it's advantageous for the company (doubtful, as even MSFT abandoned this practice) but it's highly destructive to cultures and individual's careers.
Note that we're talking about a justice system that rehabilitates vs. one that punishes. Do you care which one happens to the perp, with the knowledge that they will be back in society at some point?
Enterprise and Italian business suits[1] require a bit more formality than a consumer company.

1) I learned from an article about Mr. Jobs at the time that I would never be able to wear and Italian cut business suit. The weird things Business Week once included in their articles.
Still, assuming an untreatable criminal like such, if you don't want to just go and execute them, solitary confinement isn't the only option. You can isolate such a person in a normal (if smaller) cell, and still provide them access to basic amenities, books and visitors.
Also The Manhattan Project and Sneakers.
The real niche IMO is in game music. If you can get the music to respond in real time to players actions without becoming repetitive that's probably worth 100+M across the industry even if it's never 'great'.
I've been wanting to diving into my first Baldwin book, but looking at the reviews on Amazon has made be indecisive. I'd certainly like to hear recommendations from people here.
I subscribed to Teen Vogue for their investigative journalism.

...Never in a million years did I ever think I would be writing that.
That means investing in your employees, which is, if possible, even worse than MBA culture.
The DJIA replaced each share of ATT with a share of Apple on a ledger. Without additional investment or buying and selling other assets, there's no way to replicate that in a portfolio due to the difference in share price. Essentially, the DJIA pumped in an ~300% increase in equity value on the ATT shares...or divided among thirty companies a 10% profit.
It'd be great if you were right, and it was that easy. But you're wrong, and it's not.
Health Savings Accounts depress me. Its a complete admission that we will never have Healthcare in America as a public benefit.

That said, I know I would realize tax savings by saving in an HSA. I refuse to do so because it acknowledges a position I do not agree with: that I should pay for overly expensive Healthcare
According to the same survey by Times Higher Education, Harvard is #6 in US! So why is Harvard in such decline? /s

As soon as their economy picks up, I bet that THE and others would start praising the virtues of the Japanese education system again, regardless of any changes (or no change) in education.
That's not wrong, but it seems like in these recent cases, HR has done a terrible job protecting Uber from liability and lawsuits.

So what was the result of your research? I am no fan of OOP style, but I believe it has advantages over procedural style, and I also believe that functional style has advantages over OOP style.
Bitcoin uses a system that doesn't rely on any single person's authority.
1. Yes we absolutely do. You can sign-up as an individual. When you get to the sign-up screen, just click on the Individual Account.

2. We are going to be launching investment capabilities at the end of Q2. When we do this, you will have access to invest in low cost mutual funds, ETFs, but also straight stocks/bonds, etc. It will be a self-directed option.

3. Yes you can rollover! But be sure to ask your provider if there is a fee. We have found that often times HSA providers charge a nominal rollover/transfer fee. They vary so be sure to ask. Today, just send us an email to support@livelyme.com and we can walk you through that process. We just need some information from you, will fill out a form, send it to you for electronic signature, and we take care of the rest. We have plans to completely automate this process, but we haven't yet released that functionality. Stay tuned!
This is why when doing currency, you store in the lowest denomination possible and use whole number (if doing dollars, store cents in integers)
No problem! Just to be clear, I can't take credit for the content of the doc or starting it, but I've found it very useful.

Independence.

For me, I've always had the privilege of being a lone wolf, because I only accepted remote gigs as a consultant as my primary goal was always generating revenue on the side through programming business ideas, trying them out in the wild, falling on my face and getting up, some things worked some things didn't but it eventually freed me up to only focus on my ideas as the revenue kept climbing. This independence forced me to be practical and efficient while focusing on hardened architecture, doing the work of many as an individual simple because there are less decision trees so things move very quickly.

There is a huge value in gaining experience and knowledge while working with great individuals in teams that make you better for sure, not discounting that experience at all. Just personally, I get very uncomfortable when people dictate practices to me that are highly crufty and theoretical so I'm much better suited going at it alone because I can't shut my mouth about those things and end up pissing people off.
You'll see signs about cellphone use around a lot of gas pumps. (Though, according to Mythbusters a number of years back, the issue is static electricity, not the cell phone.) It's possible laws might need to change to use a phone payment at the gas pump.
Yeah -- we currently allow anyone to make music of up to 5 minutes in length. Would love for you to hop on Amper and give it a shot!
Great idea, I think most people don't realize how great HSAs are. They are better than 401ks in almost every way besides the lower contribution limit.

Even if you are very healthy, the category of medical expenses you can use it for is very broad.
They use Synapse for everything now, you can't use any of their peripherals or do anything to the local hardware (even on the blade) without their bullshit cloud service.
While I appreciate the effort, as a Kubernetes user I can't really recommend this tool.

As a migration tool, it might save some time building your YAML files, but the differences between Compose and Kubernetes are large enough (secret management, for example) that the mapping will be incomplete. But more importantly, the tool itself doesn't lead to a great understanding of Kubernetes itself. In my opinion, the better approach is to learn Kubernetes, then put together your YAML files piece by piece until it all works. Learn by doing.

And it's not useful as a general-purpose tool that abstracts Kubernetes; you need all of the stuff you put in the YAML files. The only way to abstract it is to move one layer up, into a PaaS.
Can a single member LLC sign up as an employer? Or are there minimum employee restrictions?
This is an easy way to drive away talent. Myself, and I feel, many others, would gladly take a similar job where the culture and dress were relaxed, instead of fixed. The fix is to hire socially competent people, and be clear to them when they are pushing it early and often.
Absolutely! Thanks for standing up for rigor here.

(The actual argument for functional programming is its adoption by elite programmers like Standard Chartered's Strats team, Facebook's anti-spam group, and Jane Street as a whole.)
I do like the film, but it was a bit heavy for me as a youngster (the murder part).

Stressful, like The Secret of Nimh.
Exactly. (And yes, it's good to point out the right way, not just the wrong way!) I've heard of some applications using tenths of a cent since they needed more precision.

For Bitcoin applications, I think you'd want to work in integer satoshis.
There's an alternative: put them in management and enforce mandatory management training.

A former employer of mine had a rule that anyone at a "management level" (including engineers of a certain rank, even if they weren't actually managing anyone) had to complete a set of training courses within a certain period of being promoted. As an engineer entering management, I found the courses to be surprisingly useful in terms of understanding and managing people and so did others. Classes like communication, negotiation, basic finance, employment law, etc.

Then HR decided they were useless and stopped offering them. And they went back to the state the GP is complaining about...
Yeah - males have to wear a coat and tie in order to be taken seriously in tech companies - why should it be different with women?

Oh wait...
Regarding the tank top comments, this is why companies have company policies regarding things like dress code. It's different to have a policy that applies to everyone (eg, no sleeveless tops) vs selectively admonishing one person's clothes.

Stack enables application development in Haskell, as opposed to just library development. A proper library doesn't have more than 20-ish dependencies, in my opinion, and manually handling these and their version bounds is not a problem.

But when writing applications with hundreds of dependencies, manually figuring out a mutually compatible dependency range for all packages just isn't an option. At least not if you want to spend time prototyping code, rather than think about dependency ranges.

hpack solves additional problems with the .cabal format (sane defaults as opposed to build failure), and I highly recommend it, for application development at least. I just discovered it a month ago and now I wouldn't be able to live without it.

Pipelined bzip2 wasn't in the evaluation for my research, but I bet remote stores would get considerably better results than software queues. Parallelising one algorithm is something of a stunt, and gets you just a single data point. Instead, I did a bunch of different benchmarks (microbenchmarks for FIFO queues and synchronisation barriers; larger benchmarks including a parallel profiler and a variable-granularity MapReduce to measure how far remote stores could move the break-even point for communication vs computation; and an oddball parallel STM system that I'd previously demonstrated on dedicated (FPGA) hardware). I got around an order of magnitude on all of them (some a little less, some much more).

The writeup starts on page 59 of https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/techreports/UCAM-CL-TR-831.pdf and the evaluation on page 65.

Looking back, I seriously regret not taking more time to sit down and write it up more clearly, because I do think this should be interesting to serious CPU vendors. However, by that point I had reached the point of "I'm fed up with this PhD; I'm going home now". As I knew I didn't want to stay in academia, I published in a mediocre venue rather than revising for a better one, and went off to Silicon Valley instead. Your comments have made me re-read my old work, and it's painful to wonder how much further it could have gone if I had explained it better.
My first job on a project that was already up and humming. Before that, everything I had done was in isolation, and typically started from scratch with very little guidance. Sitting down and actually getting to touch code written by skilled developers gave me the chance to see good code, bad code, and design patterns working together in an extremely tangible context. Also, huge confidence boost the first time you ship production code.
Reducing Slack's Memory Footprint
I find when a server is close to using max CPU or mem, htop requires a surprising amount of resources that result in it lagging quite a bit.
You mean, you're already going to get your phone out to kill yourself while pumping anyway. Static fires are real.

I don't own a Razer, although I've been thinking about buying one. My understanding is they're top notch, maybe even on par with Apple, if you get one without issues. They have above-average defect rates and way-below-average customer support. If you check out forums or /r/razer you'll find some people gushing over their laptops, and many complaining about support.
I know some people love them but compared to the massive glass trackpad with multitouch that I have on my MacBook I don't understand the appeal. Is it a portability thing?

She is white, and no I don't assume you are a sexist, I assume you are a racist.
Unfortunately, it's still not unheard of in many countries. Usually the people thinking it keep it to themselves and try to avoid conflict in the workplace, mind. And most people don't think it at all - it's only when you have toxic workplace culture that this sort of thing happens.
Yeah or please don't.
You've got a chicken and egg problem here. The only way to train an engineer in this scheme is to have him manage people without having a clue, which necessarily implies breakage for the people working under him: definitionally a new person entering a specialized role has no idea how to carry out said role.

The only thing that fixes this is extensive training before promotion -- but this is anathema in modern corporations.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
>There's also a case to be made for culture, and preservation of unique ethnicity.

These are two different things. Make the case for the latter.
Totally agree with your point about zuckerberg. Zuckerburg evolved over time, but the culture did not, to my knowledge, radically diverge from zuckerberg. Facebook as a whole made that same cultural journey to maturity, which I think only reenforces the point.

Re: "founders can change" - I don't think it's the role of the staff to wait around while a guy spends years in management learning not to be a dick. If they put up with it, and it happens, fine that's great, but it doesn't impact the linkage between CEO and culture.

I'm not sure I could ever write code in a non-fixed-width font. Maybe if I wrote every line perfectly and never had to navigate back a few lines to make adjustments. But then again, I spend a non-trivial amount of time lining code/variables up and making things just right before moving on that a variable-width font would probabky drive my OCD (Obsessive Code Disorder) levels up to 11.

I don't even want to see what happens when you mark a region and call M-x align in a variable width font.
I'm not sure what you're getting at. He's saying Haskell's type safety makes impossible the bug that was in his JavaScript project. As far as I can tell, it's impossible to write a type safe system in pure JavaScript.

edit: To clarify this thought a bit, obviously you can transpile code in a type safe language to JavaScript. At the abstraction level of the code written, the project is type safe. The generated JavaScript itself is not; however this isn't a problem if the transpiler is correct. The same principle applies to Haskell compiling to non-typesafe machine code.

A way out of what?
That's what exit interviews and a healthy culture are for.
Absolutely. In fact, one of big things holding back Haskell has been the immaturity of its libraries (because for a long time they were built by hobbyist and academics, with little industry support, in a language where lots of things were new and old architectures didn't work well). Happily that's now mostly behind us: https://github.com/Gabriel439/post-rfc/blob/master/sotu.md (editor support being the main exception)
As mobile hardware becomes more commoditised it would be trivial today to find white label hardware on which to run our software. There’s also a real desire from OEMs to loosen their dependence on Google and differentiate themselves.

Is there a Moore's Law for every type of physical constraint? As with cheaper and more abundant microprocessors, broadband, storage, etc., it seems like previously unfeasible produces and services become unlocked, the business ideas now feasible. FFOS did not arrive at the right time to reap in the benefits of the rise of Chinese smartphone OEMs, and the growing push-pull between Google and OEMs over Android.

Seeing WarGames again decades after my first viewing gave me a raging cinema-boner. The tropes we associate with "Hollywood hacking" are only sparingly used; instead, David Lightman takes a more pragmatic approach. When David wants to find a backdoor into WOPR, there's no furious keyboard banging, no VR-esque visuals of circuits or cyberspace tunnels. Instead, David goes to the library and looks up Falken in the card catalog, compiling books and microfiched magazine articles by/about him.

And of course were it not for WarGames Broderick wouldn't have been Ferris Bueller. In fact in WarGames Broderick plays a more credible teenager: a clever but naïve kid always looking to have fun, rather than Bueller's manipulative mastermind character type.

What about selling defective weapons? Guns that don't fire? Bombs that don't explode? Is it only evil because 'your guys' will be on the losing end of that transaction? Would selling them to the enemy, instead, be moral? What if you believe the war itself is immoral?

There are "no solutions in use today" partly because it really isn't that big of a problem now. Compared to all the other toxic industrial waste we generate, nuclear waste is minuscule in quantity and manageable. The worry is not about it killing you, or me, or our children, or our children's children. It's a worry about the waste killing someone 5000 years from now, after civilization already collapsed twice and humans are living in caves again.

Look at the US. We have a surveillance State. The US government keeps tabs on everyone. Do they care? Probably not, but you have a file. The British won't allow locking blades. They too have a surveillance farther along than the US'. Australia is the same. The Indians would if they could, but their corruption holds them back.
So long as you have a high deductible health plan, you can sign-up for an HSA, but there are some tax deductible rules that would apply. We have an FAQ in our Learning Center. The question is "Are employer contributions tax-deductible?".
Banking doesn't rely on a single person's authority either. But it relies on a network of connections and rules. So does bitcoin. No blockchain, no transaction.

Really, cash relies on some sort of approval too. Someone's got to mint money and assure its scarcity (eg: value). I believe in cash for a variety of reasons, but there is no transaction aside from barter that doesn't rely on someone else's authority to buy something.
As a datapoint from someone who uses razer software on macs: I use razer hardware with my macbook pro at work. I have a razer keyboard, a pretty LED firefly mouse pad and a pretty LED razer mouse and razer's "Synapse" software mostly works, but I definitely feel like razer has a long way to go with software in general. It forgets settings, the update process is weird, and compared with Corsair or Steel Series software it is definitely not as good. I tried the Razer nabu watch and its software was worse in every way when compared to a pebble. Bluetooth connectivity had issues, step tracking, sleep tracking, it was all significantly worse than a PT. I love razer hardware, but their software skills seem to be still catching up.
