I bought the Wii U version instead of a Switch because of the complaints I heard about the docked game.

Played it tonight. Very very nice, my kids love it.

I'll buy a Switch in a year once there's more games and they have the kinks worked out. If I feel like playing Breath again, I'll get it second hand.

>> Take acting classes and learn to speak with no accent It wont be permanent, but you'll be able to minimize your accent for a few hours in the interview. It's akin to speaking with a fake French accent.<<

This is terrible advice. As soon as you start the job, the people who interviewed you will wonder why your accent is totally different, and it will instantly put you on the backfoot.

>>I am almost thinking of halting my job search and finding some kind of hobby to keep me occupied and keep my mind off work.<<

This is a far better idea than just applying for jobs for the sake of it. It could be possible that you are coming across as slightly desperate in your interviews because you hate your current job so much.

Good luck

Is it the federal governments job to invest in protecting people that knowingly live in dangerous areas though? Not saying you shouldn't live there, but if you have a known risk and your local government and citizens cannot manage that risk - why should other citizens across the country pay for that? I understand those services were being delivered and now there might be a gap which is worrisome, but can it be solved at the state level? Or perhaps a coalition of states in the area? Is the NWS the only capable source of safety related weather information?

One little-known fact is that to be accepted by todai is not that difficult compared to be accepted by todai risan (the medical doctor course). About 3000 people enter todai every year but only 100 are accepted to risan. Recently as a trend, almost all of the top students in the very top high school try to go there and it is a problem which is considered a huge waste of intelligent people in Japan. I have heard that one todai dropout took 10 years to be accepted by todai risan. The trend continues for students entering other medical doctor courses at other prestigious universities, such as Kyoto University and so on.

> Traditional? Yes. Current? No.

You're mixing two different statements. Look at what I said was current norm, being dependent when married and trying to have kids.

So your stats don't disprove anything I said.

> Well over half of working-age women are employed. That means the percentage of women who would qualify as stay at home moms is less than 41%. Likely well under, between 23 an 29 from a quick look.

Not relevant to what I said, at all. I didn't say the majority of women are stay at home moms, I said they're financially dependent on their husbands. You can be a working women and still be uneducated and financially dependent. These are not mutually exclusive things.
Apologies all, I forgot to add a description.

With all due respect, you have no idea what you're talking about, you aren't making any sense, and you're clueless about what mathematics is about when you call for ideas to be abstracted into "functions", and complain about naming conventions and so on. In your eagerness to apply what you've learned about software development to a completely different field you are grossly and misunderstanding what it is all about.

Your posts reveal a fundamental misunderstanding of what mathematics (and physics) is about. Tip: it's not about algorithms. So don't presume you can apply techniques from software development to mathematics, just as it doesn't make sense to apply tools from physics to computer programming.

The incorperation of broader programming principles and concepts that have evolved over the course of advancements in the creation of software systerms into other language-based fields including mathematics and standardization of these languages to lessen ambiguities.

Things like using variable names that make sense rather then the current single-letter + subscript limit. Using easily typable characters and combining those to create complex operations. Substituting language for obtuse symbols. Simplification of expression syntax.

I don't know best how to put it in your terms, nor what I'm missing, because these are things I take for granted being a programmer.

Just looked at this page: https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Status and I can see how they would interpret that as "not ready". There a good number of "mostly OK" ones, one is unstable. With comments like "write hole still exists, parity not checksummed", "auto-repair and compression may crash ", and others.

It might be good enough for some but I can see many customers of Redhat would not want to trust their crown jewels to anything that stays "mostly OK".

You can use Intel's power gadget to see the status of your CPU's temperature, power usage and clock frequency (i.e. if it's boosting, or if it's being throttled) https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-power-gadget...

e.g., if I start an h264 encode, first my CPU boosts, reaching 3.3 GHz (it's a 2.7 GHz i7), but after a minute, it's dropped to 2.4 GHz due to the thermals. Wouldn't surprise me if I stuck it in a freezer it would stay at a higher frequency.

Seconding this because Big Clive is easily among my top 5 favorites, but it might be because I absolutely love the dry witty humor (and having ties to the UK helps culturally, I'm sure). His Baby-cutor video [1] is absolutely hilarious (if you find dark humor fun). I actually enjoy Clive's videos more than AvE's. Although, I do wish Louis Rossmann would do teardowns periodically, but you can't have everything!

He also does a few build projects, sometimes with stories, and it's strangely... relaxing.

Gosh, I never thought I'd see his name pop up in a YT discussion on HN. This is great stuff.

The idea that the US is weak and needs to increase its military budget to achieve "Peace through Strength" is laughable.

If you don't use networks then all services are on the default network and can refer to each other by service name, so even without complicated full-blown networks links are superfluous.
I don't see what I'm mixing up. You said that the current norm is a woman "basically giving up any hope of having a real career, ever, and consigning herself to being nothing more than a "housewife" for her best adult years. She'll never have a serious career after that. Worse, she's making herself entirely financially dependent on the man." (Yes, these are not your words, but they're the words that you quoted when you said it was "absolutely" the current norm.)

If by "norm" you mean this still happens a lot, sure, but that's not what's actually the norm. The norm is to be part of the labor force.
I see this was taken quite negatively. The point isn't that you _actually are_ the problem, the point is that you need to realize that they start to _see_ you as a problem.

It means you have to consider what the other person is thinking and not just think "If I just keep telling them and showing them the facts, they'll see the light and come around to my side." Studies have shown that when you show scientific evidence to anti-vaxxers, they reject it and become more entrenched in their beliefs.
I did chuckle reading that, because yes it sounds ridiculous at first. Buuuut...

> best in class APUs

Best in class because no one else wants the market, there's no profit margin there (as AMD has proven).

> open source support

Just because you support it don't make it good. While I think it's lame Nvidia's stuff is closed source, they have such a superior eco-system that I'm willing to overlook it (along with most of industry). If AMD could somehow get around this, by having an open source ecosystem at parity or better than nvidia, they'd be golden. But as its stands, it's not enough to make a dent.

> huge masses are buying them up mistakenly thinking they're nvidia

Walk that back to "investors think the semiconductor industry is slightly more commoditized than it is and they're misjudging the current landscape" and yes.

> a headline stealing new architecture that is stomping on Intel benchmarks

Stealing headlines and stomping on single benchmarks does not a good product make. Jury's out on if they can come up with a winning flagship product, but I'm not holding my breath.

Also, they need to focus on stomping Nvidia benchmarks; Intel is not their competitor. By relative market cap, it's like saying "yahoo is google's competitor". Nvidia is AMD's "big" competitor.

Current CEO is an engineer (great!) but lacks the ability to see where things are heading; Nvidia's CEO founded the company. They need Jerry Sanders' younger clone back in there or something.

Alibaba Cloud: The Silent Ninja of Cloud Computing Market
You should seek advice from people who are looking for jobs right now, or people who got freshly hired (within the last 2 months). If you listen to people who aren't in the market now then you won't hear anything relevant. Things change, the market moves up and down, if you're not in it then you're disconnected from reality.

Reality is - it is not a candidate's market anymore for many reasons. It is early 2017, things have changed since the end of last year. The amount of jobs available hasn't changed but the number of candidates has raised significantly. It is extremely high and will remain high until April, when visa applications will stop, as well as a lot of other high profiles who won't be on the market anymore. Right now companies are super picky and treat candidates like crap. They line up 10 interviews, give you assignments after a few calls and an onsite. They reject you even if you haven't failed any tests, etc.

Give it a month or two and it'll come down. You're not doing anything wrong, it's just that a lot of very very good candidates are out there right now looking for jobs. You might be a second/third pick since they bring you onsite.

My understanding is that companies won't give you feedback because they are afraid to get sued. So don't expect any feedback from them. Read some books/websites on how to improve your skills and do a few mock interviews.

If you can get on the other side of the table by interviewing candidates at your current job, it might help build confidence.
Ad hominem, strawman and passive aggressiveness in a single sentence. Impressive.

We have - by any objective measure but ground troops and total warheads - the largest on the planet. "Peace through Strength" is nothing but a platitude. If it means anything, it's "Biggest Military." We didn't need Donald Trump for that.

The notion that we must "rebuild" what is already a gigantic military is perplexing. Our military challenges are not coming to us from nations who are emboldened that our massive military is not 10% more massive. I'm not going to call you a low-information voter, but I'm going to ask that you be a little more critical and analytical if this is as deep as you're going at present.
Many gas stations will prominently display the cash/debit price on the big sign, and the credit price may not be visible at all until you get to the pump.

I'm not sure if this is more prevalent in certain regions, because I never noticed it until I drove west from the east coast. First I was confused when I stopped at the cheapest gas station I saw somewhere in Nevada, only to discover it was cash/debit ONLY, and I think there was a 35-cent charge for using debit. After that, in California, I started noticing how easy it is to see the cash price when driving by, but you often have to look closely for the credit price.
Right, and we've already established it's one we'll likely breach in a Trump admin. The margin is just wiggle room.

You're right, I don't know much about the fields of mathematics and physics.

> posts reveal a fundamental misunderstanding of what mathematics (and physics) is about. Tip: it's not about algorithms. So don't presume you can apply techniques from software development to mathematics, just as it doesn't make sense to apply tools from physics to computer programming.

Actually quite the opposite. I do expect programming principles and tools to be able to aid in expressing ideas that can be thought about as a language. This is just visible with problems like unstandardized common variables.

The only physics heavy book I've read some of recently is Kenneth Davies Ionosphereic Radio Propagation because it relates to my work. In it, there is a few pages dedicated to just defining what all of these funny greek symbols mean because they are used in pretty much every math heavy disiplin but each field takes them to mean their own thing.

Even still with this quick referense there are large portions of the book that remain a mystery because they simply require understanding of this single field of physics common variable names and meanings to read. The chapter on VLF propegation (just after the diagram of these waves being propegated by the Earth's field lines) refers to X sub something (it's been a few days) and it relates that approximately to the plasma frequency at a region of space but it means something different.

I have no idea what that variable is without finding a plasma physicist and asking them directly what that specific niche variable name means for this specific field under this specific topic relating to this one type of equation.

Even with this simple example, I can show that it would be better to have a discriptive variable name rather then "X sub something". This is just one example from this week where this trend has bit me in the ass. If it's so easy to talk about this single situation where it's the case that a programming idea of descriptive variable names, then why don't other programming concepts fit in math?

Can you prove why this is the case?

I used web workers extensively in a JS project a little over a year ago, and it was a nightmare. Granted what I was attempting was crazy, but it shouldn't have been as painful as it was.

Basically the "gotchas" are in the browser implementations. Each browser's web worker implementation is a little different, and those little differences (bugs) have huge implications in terms of what you can and can't do. For example: one browser may relay direct worker-to-worker messages via the main thread, so if your main thread is blocked your workers can't talk to each other, and that largely defeats the entire purpose of direct worker-to-worker communication.

Fortunately some of these issues have been fixed since (including that one, if memory serves), but it's slow going. I believe what happened was workers were introduced 5+ years ago, met with little interest initially, and the APIs have rotted for years until recently when interest picked up again, especially since SharedArrayBuffer.

My qualm with SharedArrayBuffer is that it kind of sucks to use in pure JS projects, because you have to serialize/deserialize everything to and from the buffer. With the Emscripten toolchain's pthreads support, as far as I'm aware you just compile your code and the heap lives inside SharedArrayBuffer. You don't have to write boilerplate serialization code, so compared to plain JavaScript it's seamless experience in that regard.

My advice to anyone using web workers in a pure JavaScript project is to use them as their name implies: offloading long-running calculations. If you try to treat them as true threads, you're going to have a bad time. Especially if your inter-worker messaging volume is high and you have frequent interdependent (blocking) calculations.

That said, the work I did was prior to SharedArrayBuffer. For very high-performance projects, it will likely be prudent to use SharedArrayBuffer itself as a messaging medium between workers.
Being part of the labor force doesn't stop one from being basically a housewife. A job isn't equal to a career. He's talking about educated women with real careers. You're talking about jobs, we're talking about careers. If you can find labor force statistics that break out low skilled jobs from careers requiring degrees, then you have something to add if that's still over 50%, I highly doubt it is.

And my point is largely, women's equality has a long way to go; it's really not the norm yet.
