> If you want them to only emit data in a standardized format you are implicitly cutting out the user.

This is only true if your shell just dumps the raw output as is. But it doesn't have to do that! If we have a standard structured data format for the output, then the shell can be the one to format it. The key point here is that formatting only needs to happen at the very last step of the pipeline, when it is known that the output is about to be displayed to the user.

Indeed, this is exactly what PowerShell does, and that bit does not require data + code. It just formats lists of objects into neat tables, using their metadata to generate headers.

Note also that this doesn't need to be baked into the shell itself. It can be a separate utility, that sucks in structured data, and outputs formatted user-friendly representation. So in a legacy shell, you could still do:

$ ls | fmt

and get more or less the same output that you see from ls today (but if you were to do just ls, you'd get JSON). Whereas in a new and fancy shell, you'd get |fmt appended automatically at the end.

This, by the way, is also how PowerShell does it, except that fmt is called Out-Default.
I don't think so. If you had told anyone 20 years ago that our current system would be as bad as it is now, people would have never believed you. But here we are. In the next few years, I only see it getting worse and nobody still caring
I've opted out every time I've flown in the US since June 2014.

Last Sunday when I flew out from Boston, I opted out as usual and the TSA officer mentioned that I'd be subject to a new pat down, called the universal pat down. (I was not subject to this version of the pat-down the day before, on Saturday).

Honestly, the only difference between that pat-down and all my previous pat-downs was the way they approached my groin area.

Previously they'd put one hand on each side of my leg and go up until they made contact with my genitals. Then they'd repeat with the other leg. Sometimes, but this was rare, they'd push up a bit into the area.

This time, in addition to the normal pat-down procedure, the officer interlocked his hands and then rubbed my genitals, first vertically, moving horizontally, and then horizontally, moving vertically.
Assisting Pathologists in Detecting Cancer with Deep Learning
In cities where Uber is legal and regulated, they are not breaking any laws and have no requirement to track city investigations against them.

Uber were also being disobedient in order to get better laws for they and everybody else to abide by.

Better yet - their technique pretty much won. There aren't many cities remaining that still attempt to ban ride sharing.
How are you interviewing? Have you tapped into your network? Do you have past co-worker friends who have left and found jobs elsewhere?

Most companies value referrals much higher than unknown applicants. If you have a friend who can vouch for your work ethic and can give you straight forward feedback, that will be the best route. You'll iterate much quicker. Also friends may give you insight on the inside of their companies about how decision-making is going. Once you have sizable work experience and sizable network, you shouldn't be doing the shotgun approach. In my very first job I reached out to a 3rd party recruiter and they helped me get a job in 2 weeks from me doing it on my own for 2 months (not a software dev). After that, my jobs have all been referral based.
I'm on my third Naga. Once you get used to the extra buttons of "MMO mice" it's hard to use anything else. I tried to switch to the Logitech G600, but the shape is all wrong.
A: "I need a ride"

B: "I will give you a ride for $10"

A: "Okay!"

I would say a government interfering in such a simple transaction is immoral and violates common norms. Traditional taxi cabs and the gov't regulations that propped them up is a textbook example of rent-seeking.
I've noticed a definite increase in companies doing bait and switches. They list higher level positions to attract good people and then try to offer them lower level positions. That's been my experience.
I had that happen with AeroFS instead of Dropbox, simply by using a repo on one machine that was not synced to the contents of the other machine. This can happen either if a machine doesn't finish sync to dropbox after using a repo in it, or the repo is used before the machine has finished syncing from dropbox. A simple "git commit" and close the laptop in a hurry as soon as the command finishes would likely do it.
Just keep trying. You have just been unlucky so far.

A lot of success comes down to dogged persistence. Here's a great book on the subject:

Indictments mean next to nothing.
Which might even matter if this were a profitable business. But it's not. I expect that these "ride share" services will stay around but I also suspect that a lot of people who have developed expectations around them at their current subsidized pricing are in for a surprise when they become 2x or 4x more expensive.

How is this not an anti-trust issue?

Of course the government wants this capability to access anyone's system, so I assume nothing will be done. This has to be one of the worst things that has happened in the history of computing.

Regulators are not protecting the public when they go after Uber; they are protecting the monopoly profits of the taxi services. Uber, a ride-sharing service, is not a dangerous bacteria; it's not a sweatshop using child laborers; it's not false advertising; it's not children smoking cigarettes; and it's not predatory lending. Associating Uber with these is an attempt to substitute misdirection for honest arguments.
Uber is fighting the man, in effort to capture $$$/market. That's their market. A business makes money?

As much as you wouldn't like to admit, they've broken through a market that was once monopolized and the cities had zero interest in doing anything about it.

You now have superior car ride services in part for the work they've done in the market. They have raised the bar.

As an Asian and knowing many Japanese friends, I just said this report is true.
However not only universities in Japan, all the universities in asian countries are facing structural problems in college education.

People treat college degrees like their passports/certificates to get higher positions in society and better works.
They are willing to study harder to enter colleges, and then play for 4 years in university.

It's about cultural problems, especially bureaucracy.
It exists in asian blood.
People would not like to face the truth, but obey the order.
Maybe it's originated from Prussian education system and chinese bureaucratic system(former Roman Empire in Asian), and finally cause the failures of education and creativity.

Cool technique, but you hint at the best solution: "running all teams in a shared context to eliminate the overhead of one webview per team."
We don't do this but it might appear that way to a candidate. We're hiring people of all levels and if someone comes in who we feel we like but at a lower level we'll offer them that level instead.
well, there goes my Friday night. Cheers :)
Is it not at all conceivable that "people living in Japan over the long term to adopt Japanese value and mannerisms." might actually exist? We're picking extremes here, I am sure real data will reveal better picture.
It's hard to be helpful here without specifics. What sorts of jobs are you applying for at which companies? What industry are you in? What are the brands you've worked at before? What industry switch are you hoping to make? Do they get to a background check stage or no? 7 offsites to 0 offers is a pretty steep drop off but if, for example, you were only interviewing for VP of Product at series A startups in the Bay Area backed by Sequoia and Benchmark, then that's not unexpected.
A Philadelphia agency was caught teaming up with taxi companies to fight Uber
http://www.vox.com/2016/1/30/10873372/uber-lyft-taxi-philade...
I'm sorry that you're going through this.

You mentioned that the feedback you've received has always suggested that you're a great candidate, but they see you in a different role. What kind of role is it? And, is it possible that that role really may be a better fit for you?

If so, you have a choice. Either change careers or try to take corrective action and become a better fit for a PM gig.

Good luck and again, I'm very sorry. Feel free to email me - my address is in my profile.
Uber is... Anarchy? Like in the movie Thunderdome? Sure.

Their opposition wasn't arbitrary; they knew they could provide a better service outside the monopolistic constraints that were already in place. So they fought those battles and because of those battles, everyone gets to experience a much better ride service than the antiquated taxi system.

Good luck to your boss proving that the bad performance review they gave you was not retaliation for you breaking off the relationship.

btrfs is a non-starter. i stopped reading there.
I guess so. It's hard to see how much downgrading most families can do. If you're driving a 10+ year old car, which seems pretty normal, there's not a lot of cheaper vehicles to drop down to. A family in a 2-3 bedroom bungalow or ranch, which seems to be the norm for most, doesn't have much room to downsize either.

At the same time, it's not like people don't have things going for them. A house, growing retirement plans, some savings, a vacation here and there... Judging from the tone the last 10 years in this country, this qualifies you as "affluent". Which, in a cosmological sense, it is. But it isn't like it is unusual, or only something the very fastidious achieve. It's normal-ish.

So it's not that I'm disagreeing, people can dig themselves in a hole by overspending. I just don't think this is particularly common, or some sort of national sickness.
> I think I'd still prefer to have a named type, but the standard library should provide a standard way to construct that type.

Having ad-hoc error union Result per function make it lightweight, and less friction in writing code. I would go one step further, let the compiler build the error union automatically.

fn func1() -> Result<MyStruct, _> {
let foo = foo()?; // might return Error1
let bar = bar()?; // might return Error2
...
}

The compiler infers the list of possible error types returning from the functions. Func1() would automatically have the return signature of Result<MyStruct, Error1 | Error2>.

Make the type inference to good use.

Aren't there reports of asking for social media passwords, even if you don't have a device[1]? So traveling without electronics seems to not prevent access to private information.

Q: "I have Facebook open on my screen. What is the username and password to your Facebook account?"

So now most people have a choice. Do you lie and say you don't have a facebook account, do you try and change your password so you can say "you don't know it" (possibly getting rejected from entering), or do you give them the password?

I could get a job at Uber and try to fix it from the inside. Or lobby the government to regulate them.
You could have a problem with your interviewing. You may want to get someone you trust and will give you HONEST feedback to mock interview you and get some feedback. The companies turning you down, you're not going to get any useful info from them.

That and just keep trying. Its a numbers game though, if you aren't getting any offers there must be something wrong with your interviews.
US immigration asks Nigerian software engineer to check if a BST is balanced
I enjoy messing with the officers.

Once, an officer mentioned that my jeans were very stiff and I said that I'd just run the laundry before coming to the airport. I offered to take them off for him but he quickly declined my offer.

Anyways, I'll occasionally moan softly if I want to fuck with the officer a bit, as if I might be enjoying my pat-down a bit too much. :)

I'm flying tomorrow and next week, so I think I'm going to be moaning quite a bit more in the near future.
Not really. Hatsune Miku is more like an instrument. Like piano or violin, but synthesized human voice (not completely synthesized even, they used voice samples from the real human). Miku is one of many vocaloids. You can think of vocaloid as family of instruments, like violin family in traditional music with violin, viola, cello etc. In my opinion, she is not even the best vocaloid, but most widely known for sure. And, as with all musical instruments, it all comes to how composer uses her. Most songs you hear only because composer is already fairly popular in doujin circles.

AI generated music is completely different field, because AI is the composer there. This is why in the original article they talk about how they want to create symbiosis of AI and human composer, essentially creating another tool aka instrument, but this time human needs to do even less in terms of actual music creation.
Why not? We still have software that was written 50+ years ago for IBM System/360's running on a derived architecture today (System z.)

TSA: "Reach out and Grope Someone"

Just wait until someone intentionally or not puts their quadcopter through a jet engine on takeoff, I'm sure they'll know us better than our proctologists for that.
This question only matters if effectiveness of the procedures is what the TSA is measured on. However, if that were the case, the entire thing would likely be thrown out.

I'm not going to pretend to really understand the TSA's game. But if items were getting through, and those items were doing no harm, isn't the entire thing worthless if you're adding more security or less?
A (Very) Brief History of Truth
I don't see a problem with making an offer of a free trial of the service in exchange for an article. I can see how a company may not want to spend thousands to demo a consumable service to a journalist and possibly end up with nothing to show about it.

Of course the journalist is absolutely free to decline the offer.

I don't think anyone on the Rust side is seriously saying that Rust is faster than C and is pointing to the shootout leaderboard as evidence.

This particular example was a bit of a pain point for Rust, because (IIRC) the rules were such that Rust needed to use its default hash function in its hash table, but the C implementation could optimize for the data that the example uses.
It's not that people don't care. But what are they going to do? Arguing with the TSA is an exercise of futility.
So called 'target' schools for CS are largely not elite. People will be impressed by a degree from Harvard or MIT but I doubt you'd ever get a reaction for UIUC or the University of Texas.

>> There are advantages and disadvantages, but as long as the parents aren't pushing their kids into places they don't want to go it offers a lot more opportunity, IMHO.

In practice, parents who would like their children to keep their options open, struggle in the Japanese system. You have to decide from an early age to either go for it and work like a dog, or to slack off and enjoy life until entering the work-force but then having very clear limitations on your career.

One personal observation relevant to some HN folks concerns Kousen (technical college). The competition to get accepted is only moderate while the quality of education there is high, I feel. It's not the standard route, but it is definitely worth considering for those who wish to pursue a STEM field.

I'm no expert in this area but I thought the main issue with agricultural robots is not about form factors but the practical problem that they aren't "smart" enough yet for basic tasks, like weeding, you need machine vision, planning, manual dexterity, locomotion, a lot of tough software components that either don't exist or aren't good enough as COTS solutions, so it sounds like a years-long research project. But things move fast, it could be further along than I think.
Not to be mean spirited, but it sounds like you either need to learn how to close or you are going for positions you really aren't a good fit for.

I've gotten every job I've ever interviewed for that I really wanted. In the end, it's about perception and desire. If you don't go in acting like you deserve the job and can be an asset to the company, you are not likely to get an offer.

You also have to be able to sell yourself as the perfect fit. Trust me, no one is, but if you believe you can become it, it will show and they will believe it too. That's when the offers come in.

Go through your skill sets, really step back and evaluate if it's up to date enough for these newer positions you are going for.

Also, if you go into an interview with the attitude that you hate your current job, it will show. You need to make peace with whatever your current job is, find something positive about it, and reflect on that. This will help you to be positive in your interviews and talk well about your current company, which employers want to hear.

The fact that you're getting onsites after phone interviews is a good sign, it's almost a 2 to 1 ratio. Although 7 onsites is not huge but is a sign that something may not be working. Let's assume you're doing pretty decent on the other fronts and the issue is with onsites. So here are some things that come to mind that only apply to onsites:

- team-fit: this is a big one specially for smaller companies, they wanna be 100% sure this new hire will be just like everyone else so they can all get along, so next time you're doing an onsite do a quick look up of people you'll be interviewing to find as much as about their hobbies, side-projects, etc. as you can and talk about those things

- your presentation: how you carry yourself and behave is another thing that only applies to onsites, you gotta be confident or let your inner geek out if that's who you are, acting super nervous and non-confident sends the wrong signal

- answering the questions the way they want you to, it might have been a while since you last successfully interviewed and got a job so brush up on what the trendy interview questions are for role nowadays, go to Glassdoor look up similar roles and see what the questions were and what answers were the best, you don't wanna deviate too far from those, but you gotta treat like the ACT it's bs for the most parts but that'll determine if you end up at MIT or the city community college.
