My opinion (I interview and hire engineers):-

- Education goes at the bottom

- Tech skills go at the top

- The aligning on the work/url/date is really hard to read, just left align it, separate with -'s.

- The additional experience is almost a waste of space, I'd personally use the equivalent space to expand more on tech skills.

- You have 'proficient' then 'other', does 'other' mean not proficient? Use similar complementary terms to describe your skill levels i.e. 'Proficient at' and 'working knowledge of' or something like that.

- What's the difference between employment and technical projects? Some of your tech projects read like paid work so it's hard to tell what your skill level would be if I brought you in for a interview. if it's volunteer work I would put it under work but do something like '(volunteer)'

Basically your CV makes me have to think wayyy too much, I'm having to interpret things and guess what you mean, so I'd have no idea what to expect your quality to be if I got you in for a interview therefore I probably wouldn't bring you in.

Also if you're not doing it already then people connections is key (meetups etc)

This article is frustrating because it never mentions why low 409A valuations would be helpful to anyone. It seems to say the companies are benefiting from different 409A and investor valuations, but not why. Does it mean someone pays less tax or something?

There are a lot of approaches, and they do not all require a brute force simulation. Nature herself seems to have a library of functional domains from which she can mix and match to produce a larger mechanical device - in addition to the atomic resolution mutations, and tertiary structural features. There are a lot of very useful ways people do design proteins right now that do not involve structural prediction.

Further, very much unlike the digital sciences, a gigantic library of parts, functions, routines and 'example code' already exist. If you want a piece of nano-technology that does X, just go look for an organism that lives in a condition where X is useful - and in there genome it will be. We have a huge pile of hyper-advanced alien source code that we can dig through. We don't have to reinvent it all on our own.

Did you even read beyond the first paragraphs? There's five compiler-specific flags you'll have to get right for any of this to work.

Again, there's no free lunch...

> I disagree. Let's look at actual examples. "Almost certainly" suboptimal abstractions are not what we've seen in Rust, for example, which leans on abstractions heavily.

Could you just scroll up for a moment? We are talking about this because someone wrote the "abstract" version of squaring a number and some optimization didn't kick in, resulting in significantly degraded performance. And that's a trivial example! In a real codebase, you'll have to carefully audit compiler output to see if it does the right thing, potentially requiring you to rewrite code. For Rust, you also have the blessing that there is only one compiler...

Ok, this is a little worrying. I've read through the all the conversation here but is it really that difficult to get jobs for people who already are involved in Data Science? Here I was thinking if I do a course on Data Science fundamentals of computer science online, I would on tract of getting a computer science/data science job.

My future really rests upon this. I have a degree in mechanical engineering with irrelevant experience. My only regret is not doing bachelors in computer science.

I wouldn't lie if all the post got me little tensed and made me thinking, "what am I doing with my time". About to finish introduction to Computer Science using Python on Edx.
It's not so much intelligent life arising that matters... what matters is that they become galactic explorers. Really, there is no obvious reason why any species would want to do that, least of all resources. Besides... maybe life is more rare than that, or maybe intelligent tool users are very rare. After all, a genius that lives in deep oceans of some kind might as well be a clam for all that it might change a life off their planet.

You need a specific formula, and you need to include, "Does not extinguish own existence" at some point between, "Gets tech" and "masters galaxy and becomes threat to all life in universe". That really sounds more farfetched than just... the kind of competitive organisms that make it as far as we do, die off for one reason or another before they dominate a galaxy.

It takes time for the labor- maybe 2 hours of time for someone to get your food, bring it to your house, and go back. So that's probably at least $30 worth of their time.

So yeah, $5-$10 is not reasonable. If you're paying that little the labor is being subsidized by something else, or you're exploiting a desperate underpaid worker.

How does this work exactly? What about banks that do not have an API. I've been wanting to write a similar app for myself but see NO way to log-in securely if the bank does not offer an API.
Lets say you have two functions. Function A and function B. Function A does a bunch of stuff and function B is executed in the middle of function A. Well when function B returns the program must remember the context of function A in order to execute the remaining steps. It does this by storing the entire context of function A on a stack. This is known as the 'call stack.' Essentially, all recursive functions can and usually are implemented using a stack.
To be clear, I am not accepting that margin; I'm simply regrettably far from my spreadsheet for 2015 to which I can refer. My objections are a) the assumption "life choice" is NOT a sexist dog whistle, that b) you're talking about aggregate wage gap, which reduces the situation into a single statistic, and c) that a sex linked difference isn't worth addressing even if it does have a dominating effect in today's economy (which I doubt, and evidence is weak at best).

However, there is abundant evidence that there's a systemic divide in opportunities. This is easy to see in the aggregate and particular. That is the interesting thing in itself: if we could be assured that the gap could sexist solely for life choices, this wouldn't be an interesting topic. That's a devilishly hard thing to argue for, however, so id prefer to move forward as a society assuming that we can do more to expose opportunities to everyone, assure that people are protected in their right to follow opportunities, and that we can demonstrate the effect of the policies at moving toward an ideal of equal pay.

If we can't move towards that, perhaps our ideal, well, isn't what society wants. I doubt that we've even approached that level of confidence in our support of communities subject to subtle bias difficult to divorce from "life choices".
This (like a sharded Raft group) is somewhat correct :P.

If you can sacrifice consistency (causal instead of external), you can get EPaxos. If you can sacrifice more, you can get Single Paxos. Both of them can increase concurrency to some degree, and can improve availability over a leader based RSM system like Muti-paxos or Raft.

I believe there are other ways to make the trade-off, even making the trade-off dynamically. Hopefully, I can talk about it more soon.

I work on etcd/raft, which is a shared Raft implementation by TiDB(TiKV), Cockroachdb, etcd and many more.
The order in which you connect the terminals has nothing to do with preventing electrical damage. The reason why you're supposed to connect jumper cables in a particular order is for safety. When you connect just the positive, it doesn't matter if you accidentally brush the other end of the cable against the body or ground of the other car. Then the only thing left to connect is ground and if you accidentally brush the ground lead up against the body then it isn't going to matter as you're trying to connect that lead to ground. Also, the reason why you connect the last lead to a well grounded part of the engine away from the battery on the god car is because that's the only connection that creates sparks. Sparks around a bad battery are a bad idea. Batteries regularly create some Hydrogen and Oxygen gas, normally it doesn't produce that much at all and it gets vented out of the battery but with a bad battery it might have very little electrolyte left and it might have multiple cells filled with a bit of acid and a lot of explosive gas. If that spark ignites any explosive gases in the battery it will probably crack apart the plastic casing and shower you with battery acid.
Alexander A. Stepanov: Civilizing the Barbarians
India has had civilization for as long as anybody and drinking was prohibited in the culture, or at least not encouraged. So these are just generalized stories created from history they have no basis to make a grandiose claim that a tool created civilization, a tool is a tool it allows you do solve certain problems, there are different tools that solve the same problems for instance boiling. There are other stimulants than caffeine. Nothing substantial.

Surveillance state is not about what you are able to post on facebook. The modern surveillance state welcomes this kind of public posting, it provides data for behavior control through behavioral prediction and modification.
It is sort of hypocritical when people talk about unfair advantage in the context of only doping or such technology. I think unfair advantage of some sort is built right into all sports & life in general. Sometimes it is genetic, geographical and lot of times it is because your sports federation has money to afford world class facilities as your nation has a lot of wealth to invest in sports. By leaving the decision of what constitutes as unfair in the hands of few, we are inhibiting technological progress and this is bound to be a cat and mouse game since authorities deciding what is unfair will always be behind the ones looking for advantage. It is also providing incentive to people with money to invest it in finding those advantages. I think a technology, performance enhancing drug on anything such should be allowed as long as everyone in the sport has access to it and there are no adverse health impacts.

Getting a 409A did seem to be pretty dumb. It's just a super-expensive process to figure out how much taxes you have to pay on option grants. If the rules were just, a grant of startup stock doesn't get taxed until an IPO or acquisition, so you don't have to do options in the first place, that would be much saner!

> If you want safe water, all you have to do is boil it.

All we have to do is boil it, because we have a germ theory. If i'd been drinking from the same well for 30 years, I don't think I'd make the connection that the water was somehow bad unless it tasted funny or was cloudy.

However, if i acquire a taste for tea, a good fraction of my water is automatically purified.

Alcohol, of course, is a nice way to store those hard grown calories. Grapes don't last long, wheat gets infested with bugs and rats. Beer and wine keep for a while. And of course, also purified.

Archaic doesn't mean stupid. We are all lucky John Snow was so diligent. That was a tough connection to make. And of course, once it was discovered, people regularly boil water when there are issues with the local water supply.

We got kind of lucky by getting addicted to things that inadvertently had unknown positive effects. Which, in my humble, non immunologist or doctor kind of way, probably outweighed the really terrible negative effects of long term massive alcohol consumption.
Where Big Data begin?
A simple alternative would be to tax startup shares when they turn into real money, not when they are granted and all sorts of shenanigans are possible around their value.
randomdrake didn't read the article, and saw the top comment was "you can buy tablets to purify water". He assumed, completely incorrectly, that the commenter was suggesting that people should just buy tablets to purify their water. randomdrake was not trying to comment on how essential services should always be held to exacting standards and that any failure. They weren't trying to say that it is unacceptable for water supplies to have even harmless, temporary inconveniences. They just didn't read the article.

I'm wondering if this might not be illegal under several countries' data privacy laws.

Users need to be directly and visibly be informed, if and when data of theirs will be transmitted to third parties.

As Google's ReCaptcha is based on tracking what websites you visit, what search terms you enter, correlating this data, and comparing this tracking profile of yours, it's quite problematic that the user doesn't even see any captcha anymore. With the previous captchas, site owners could keep pushing the legal problems to Google, partially.

But this new solution doesn't fit with the EU Data Privacy Directive in neither intention nor letter of the law.

IANAL, this is not legal advice. You can not use this in court.

You could eliminate all taxes and I still wouldn't choose to live in Texas or Florida. You could increase my salary 10x and I wouldn't move to Nebraska, the Dakotas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, or Iowa. Then again, you could hire for remote positions if you need devs.
I don't know about this matter in the US, but it seems to me there is no need for law a regulation to revoke a visa arbitrarily. There are countless reports of this kind of thing happening at the border, some have even been confronted to screenshots of their private facebook messaging.
"Taken to its logical conclusion this is an argument that things should never change and never try to get better."

No, it doesn't.

Perhaps you're an idiot.
If you give an option where the strike price is "the current fair value", the employee doesn't have to pay taxes. But "the fair value" is defined by the 409A. The company usually doesn't care about the strike price and would rather just give the employee as much value as possible. A low 409A is much better for the employee, a teeny bit worse for the company, and so companies just go for a low one.
I'd love to hear some commentary from someone involved in the business of bypassing captchas. I have to assume "google invisible captcha hack" is getting bid up right now.
As Yang Wenli says... "Alcohol is humanity's friend. Can I abandon a friend? Humans were drinking alcohol five thousand years ago. And they're still drinking it now. And five thousand years from now, they'll be drinking alcohol.

I don't partake, and think if any drug ought to be illegal it should be alcohol for the damage it has caused, but then I wonder what humanity would look like if our brains didn't respond to it any more than water.
