The most amusing thing about stack ranking is that companies expect their teams to be average (at best). If a company really wanted to hire the best and only have top performers, then they should not expect their employees to fit nicely on a bell curve.

Shipping is 15€ in EU, so still more expensive than Pi itself. It's a shame that they overprice shipping so much, it shouldn't cost more than few € (according to other similar size items I order from Internet on regular basis).
That is, if you can get someone to ship it.

These all point to one basic problem, overconfidence. Half of our country has replaced logic with confidence. Its roots, i speculate, are in mob reinforcement (religion and tv and talk radio), and our sports and entertainment centered yardstick for achievement. Any common person can now stare into the eyes of a scientist and say they disagree and have a mob of people cheer.
Yay. Another "Raspberry Pi" device for X$ that in reality is going to be 2X$ + .5X$ shipping. Or frankly, just want be obtainable for any price for the first 3 months.

All of the benchmark game problems either prescribe using a fixed algorithm or have an obvious optimal asymptotic complexity. The remaining challenge is generally to reduce the constant factor as much as possible.

This is just not what a lot of computationally expensive problems look like in practice. As a simple example, any practical solution for an NP-hard problem will be full of tradeoffs; often you just want something that's good enough and then you get to choose and adjust an algorithm for your particular problem space to find the sweet spot between time complexity and quality of the solution.

The benchmark games also have fairly simple and obvious data structures; most of them just deal with arrays and strings. Real-world problems often require you to make difficult choices about representation (where one is optimal in some situations, another in a different set of situations, but you handle all of them). Example: adjacency matrixes can be represented as bit matrices, integer/float matrices (if edges can have weights), or associate arrays of sets, to name just a few implementation options. Depending on how your graph is structured (sparse vs. dense, connectivity) and what algorithms you require, one or the other can be optimal. Clever choices can make orders of magnitude of difference for performance.

I'll offer you a concrete example: computing the factorial of large numbers basically has three well-known algorithms: (1) naive multiplication, (2) divide-and-conquer, (3) prime decomposition. Each subsequent approach improves performance over its predecessor, but is also increasingly more difficult to implement.

Now, it so happens that this particular problem is well-researched, so you can look it up, but you encounter similar problems all the time where you can't find them on stackoverflow or in the literature. And then you have to consider tradeoffs between the time spent researching better solutions, implementing those better solutions, and the time gained from the increased performance.

It so happens the lead-free solder needs more heat, more heat leads to longer solder times, killing more components, or damaging their lifespan, forcing you to breath more of the extra toxic lead-free flux fumes. Do not use lead-free solder for hobby work.

> After reading Waymo’s complaint, I asked the Nevada agencies for a copy of the Alphabet company’s request. The DMV called me back in confusion. Nevada had never received an Open Records Act request directly from Waymo, nor from any other Alphabet company. What the agency had received was a request from an attorney, who did not provide an affiliation, requesting duplicate documents from my request last fall — from when I was investigating Otto and Uber. I had been chasing my own tail.

I'm stating that the public doesn't think what they believe is a myth.
While some of these 'legal conspiracy theories' are undoubtedly ridiculous (e.g. the people who think invoking 'sovereign citizen' will make an iota of difference).

But I have some sympathy for these beliefs - there's sometimes good advice (sometimes you need a lawyer before talking to the police) that might seem like a conspiracy or hoops you need to jump through. Hearing some legal arguments seems like semantics to the uninformed. This is probably why people think the legal system is 'magic'.

That was a sarcastic bit. Later:

Secondary screenings happen all the time. Especially for anomalous people. I keep getting one.

"Claim", yes.

It sure is odd that, over the span of my career, observed incidence of workplace bullying and harassment has shown a strong positive correlation with the frequency of such claims as those you describe; by comparison, at those places I've worked which have no such attachment to one specific end of the political spectrum, the worst I've seen is thoughtlessness. That's bad too, to be sure, but those who've engaged in it have mostly been mortified when called on it and tried hard to avoid it in future - which is the correct, and honorable, response. Meanwhile, in Silicon Valley...

Looks like the output is flat text, so powershell pipes:

Don't yet work. I've made a humble feature request (https://github.com/lowleveldesign/wtrace/issues/1) if anyone is interested.

Filtering by time or file, JSON/csv output and all the other powershell goodness would be awesome for a tool like this.
I only wrote a couple of non-GUI toy programs in Pascal "back in the day" and did some disassembling for fun because someone told me it won't look like C disassemblies (they were right!) but tbh, Delphi from what I remember (only saw it used, never used it) isn't wow-ing me more than current state of the art GUI-builders (like say Storyboards for the Apple ecosystem) so I suppose it's mostly nostalgia? Not sure comparing it to web development is fair but (all those wicket corner cases aside) I actually like the simplicity of web layouting as well. With a decent reset or bootstrap or whatever (and maybe flexbox) I think pure HTML+CSS is very direct and can be prototyped rather quickly via "textfile change and see".

You're right, they're two different arguments. But I don't think it's a far leap looking between different countries to say that good infrastructure, healthcare, welfare and through sensible regulations an empowered workforce is also good for the economy.

I work with Delphi professionally. And we maintain a code base of about 150,000 lines of Pascal and about 300,000 lines of T-SQL (written to work in both Sybase and Microsoft SQL).

Delphi may be easy, but it's not simple. Once you get into the meat of things, Delphi's ecosystem truly becomes a limitation.

Delphi's main drawback is its lack of library availability. If you are in the marked for modern technology, using Delphi is a major hindrance. And if you do find something, it's usually not of the same quality as the alternatives for other languages.

I have nothing against Pascal, per say, but I do feel that I am being deliberately terse for the sake of the compiler, rather than for clarity. Indeed, having to declare all variables at the beginning of a method doesn't necessarily make it more clear, sometimes the reverse.

Even a popular tool like Indy for Delphi doesn't correctly implement the HTTP protocol, and therefore doesn't respond as you'd expect on malformed headers, so you have to handle those calls yourselves.

Delphi was leading the pack in the 1990s, but has since fallen behind greatly.

I've written a web server - and maintain a web server - in Delphi, and it's not something I would wish on anyone else.
Someone managed to hang your backend ghci or some such it seems.. simple enquiries such as `:t reverse` or `:i Maybe` bring no response in over a minute. Could be a client-side issue too (FF 51.0.1 in 64bit Win 8.1) but nothing shown in the browser console..

This tool is not supposed to compete with ProcMon, which I consider the best tool of the trade. But... currently ProcMon can't be run on Nano Server (thus for instance on Docker). ProcMon does not trace RPC/ALPC requests either.

>I strongly suspect the generation after this will rediscover the power of desktop apps and some of the dev tools that were around at that time.

The biggest thing desktop apps are missing was the delivery mechanism. With web apps:

* a new user is just a hyperlink away
* pushing app updates is a page reload
* server-side state eliminates all of the migration headaches for client-based state

People are fickle and they will decide not to use a service if it takes a couple of seconds to load. When you require them to download an app and install it, you've already eliminated two major categories of users: impatient users, and users who don't know how to (or aren't allowed to) install applications.
Completely agree. I love the pragmatic nature of the course and the general attitude (anyone can do DL). It's probably the one MOOC I'd recommend to every developer or CS student. It's really mind blowing how good you can perform compared to what was state of the art not too long ago. Not quite finished with #1 either but can't wait for part 2. The pitch/promise for part 2 is that it'll basically take you to the bleeding edge of current (2017) research...that sounds rather exciting.

And it's not just web. I also used Julia in that project, and while the language itself is really awesome for numerics (especially as I had to migrate a lot of existing Matlab code, which is a pleasure with Julia), good luck trying to package a standalone app (especially if you're using native libraries). Oh, and the startup time? It's funny how some people complain about the JVM in that regard.

Every once in a while I try to pull my head out of the JVM world to try other stuff, see what else is out there, and people seem to be putting up with a lot of pain that's downright unacceptable with more established tech. I'm guessing people may be coming over from scripting languages where they're used to this stuff (and they may it jarring to work on the JVM). Even when things aren't that bad, like with NPM, they're miles behind the sturdiness of the Maven ecosystem (which is far from perfect in itself).

Don't eat the solder? Warning: Pregnant women, the elderly, and children under 10 should avoid prolonged exposure to lead-based solder. Caution: lead-based solder may suddenly accelerate to dangerous speeds. Lead-based solder contains a liquid core, which, if exposed due to rupture, should not be touched, inhaled, or looked at. Do not use lead-based solder on concrete. Discontinue use of lead-based solder if any of the following occurs:

itching
vertigo
dizziness
tingling in extremities
loss of balance or coordination
slurred speech
temporary blindness
profuse sweating
or heart palpitations.

If lead-based solder begins to smoke, get away immediately. Seek shelter and cover head. Lead-based solder may stick to certain types of skin. When not in use, lead-based solder should be returned to its special container and kept under refrigeration. Failure to do so relieves the makers of lead-based solder, Wacky Products Incorporated, and its parent company, Global Chemical Unlimited, of any and all liability. Ingredients of lead-based solder include an unknown glowing green substance which fell to Earth, presumably from outer space. Lead-based solder has been shipped to our troops in Saudi Arabia and is being dropped by our warplanes on Iraq. Do not taunt lead-based solder. Lead-based solder comes with a lifetime warranty.

"a lack of proof (in the case of tourists) of continuing ties to their origin country."

As a US citizen who has traveled to nearly 60 nations, I have never met a more accusatory, aggressive, macho, angry, often-times rude reception than in my land of birth, and I'm a native-born citizen!

While what you say, regarding Schengen border controls, may be somewhat true, the nature of their "extra procedures" is completely different in quality to the American counterpart. One doesn't find the systematic large-scale militarized detention center processes nor attitudes.
We are the most aggressively suspicious nation and yet no one seems to question
1) if it's even effective. Barring warrant nabs, which a simple ID scan can produce, what actual harm to the public is being prevented and at what cost to our national values and business productivity? (to say nothing of the MOOD)

2) if, in fact, foreigners are actually coming over to the USA with the explicit intent to harm the nation and how you could possibly stop that at a border, if they were to comply proceduraly. I would warrant that most people will be hostile to hostile and intrusive questions asked by an irate and overworked angry border beaurocrat whose only daily joy, as pointed out in the article, is in exercising their power to expel someone etc...

3) What about Ben Franklin's famous quote and our national values? "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

I think that it's clear as the nose on my face that recent top-level directives and a general change in leadership and policies has resulted in a more rigorous entry process to the USA and the work culture for these officers has changed from "be polite cheerful and thorough" to "give em a hard time"

If we can get some acknowledgment of this point, that would be great :D

The most interesting bit of this article is imho that "Uber will soon be assessing other companies’ compliance with safety rules.":

It was in a document Otto had submitted in support of its application
to operate the state’s first Autonomous Technology Certification Facility (ATCF).
This is an independent organization that will assess all autonomous vehicles
that want to operate (rather than just test) in Nevada, checking that
they comply with the state’s safety requirements and traffic laws.
The application was a success, and construction of the facility is now underway
in a suburb of Las Vegas. (Yes, you read that right — Uber will soon be assessing
other companies’ compliance with safety rules.)
They don't support cycling license keys, as we discovered yesterday. What a mess.

Given the state and costs of international roaming this is when you are least likely to have your phone. "Sorry officer, my phone is at home. Or is carrier locked and given roaming costs it is going to be cheaper for me to buy a phone and pay as you go plan here. Are they any shops in the concourse that you might suggest for getting one?" A pocket camera and list of phone numbers completed the set. Obviously don't lie if you actually have a phone, but not having one is not sufficient ground for detention.
