I had to interview a manager or two as a senior dev and then interviewed countless people for manager, supervisor, and dev jobs as a manager.

I think the best thing to focus on is hiring a manager that knows a little bit about the processes you guys use day-to-day. If you're an agile team, ask about agile; a requirement document team, ask about documentation experience. Processes sort of follow some high-level patterns due to the large accreditation bodies that profit from selling their own flavors.

Have they managed QA or been involved with continuous integration and automated testing? What task-management systems have they used? Are they interested in promoting strong architecture, is production support a priority; or ask them to list out a set of priorities related to product delivery, production support, architecture, customer service, which helps with discovering any underlying philosophies more than really giving any direct information. Give an example of a time they resolved a conflict.

Asking about what the technology stack was for the team they managed is always good as well. If they can explain it coherently they weren't just doing performance reviews and checking time logs to make sure people were at their desks.

Just some ideas off the top of my head.

I've known lots of people who got CS degrees when I went to school who now are no longer employed or doing other things because they assumed nothing would change. For 35 years I have stayed viable by constantly learning (but also avoiding just chasing every new thing).

Ah, that is a problem for Operations! :P

But honestly, when I was first learning to fly, it was a difficult thing to get used to. Like most pilots back then, I got one of those watches with two faces and set one (usually the primary/largest one) to UTC. After getting used to dealing purely in UTC for a while, I was amazed that more people didn't do it.

I stopped looking at time as being defined by the position of the sun, but as a reference datum. If a colleague called out "See you at the pub at oh-two hundred hours", I never thought "2 in the morning??" but rather "Oh, that is 1 hour and 45 minutes from now - cool!".

Which means that you'd need only to amend the California constitution to repeal or modify that amendment.

I'm with you in that I definitely do not favor violating a constitution of any sort, but because amendments are possible, we should not pretend that constitutions are set in stone, as they are amendable. We should also not attempt to pass policies that violate the constitution by methods other than amendment, of course.

Super valuable feedback; thank you!

I realize your feedback is about the impression it gives, totally separate from how greedy we actually are, but we're still tiny ($22k/mo revenue with 3.5 FTEs). And like enoch_r and mgiannopoulos have averred, paying the penalties to Beeminder generally feels super fair. So that's why we've limited the charity option to the ultra-VIP plan. (We're super open to more feedback about this though. We tend to get a highly biased sample of opinion from our users, i.e., the people who weren't immediately put off by our apparent greed. :))
While I feel sympathy for the father in this situation, being a software engineer (or data scientist) transcends the language which you happen to be working with. People who work in software learn quickly that the language you use is just a tool, like any other, which you should use for the right task at the right time.

Of course, not everyone will be an expert in every language. But having the ability to shift when needed to an unfamiliar language is what really makes a person a software engineer and not just a programmer.

Don't be so stupid.

People throwing the towel in and blaming others for everything that is wrong is how we've ended up in this political mess. No leaders. No vision. Just pity and blame.

"statements from Project Zero" -- nope, statement from one person. Also you're assuming those are facts.
Partly the screening process of universities is entirely different - they are much smaller entities, investing a huge amount of resources in individuals, and have a much better and much more well-founded idea of what kind of applicants will be successful. And then, even they get it wrong all the time. Students drop out and the least promising ones turn out to be superstars somewhat later.

For that matter, I would prefer universities only screen for effort, meaning the applicants show they are willing to work hard enough. That doesn't exclude tests for prerequisites, but it excludes certain things like age, income, parents, irrelevant prior education, origin...

It can go the other way too. Here in Uruguay the local ("free") state university was for a long time the only place to get an engineering degree.

They somehow decided that they needed to set insanely hard exams, so that 97% of the students fail (not an exaggeration). So they had a nice monopoly and could command huge salaries.

Most of those students that fail now transfer to private universities and end up being perfectly acceptable engineers, programmers, etc.

But the very few that end up graduating (about 1 in a 1000) are really very good at problem solving and I doubt that any one of them that chooses CS would fail fizz buzz. They're required to write their own compilers, write a hardware driver, and other stuff, up to what would be postgraduate level in the U.S.

The market doesn't really recognize the insane stuff they had to go through and often pays them the same as a graduate from a private university (which is "easier" by virtue of being sane, I'd say most are perfectly acceptable in the exigence level)

The vast majority of children of immigrants in public schools are US citizens by virtue of being born in the US. This argument about spending money on educating illegal immigrants is pretty facile.
> But there is context, and the context is the immigration ban put in place by the president.

Yes, your point only makes sense if the context of the immigration topic was limited to a travel ban in the countries that the Trump administration is currently focused on. But there is an even larger context of this administration's statements regarding immigration. If you are looking to apply larger contexts then keep in mind Steve Bannon and Jeff Sessions' statements regarding immigration:

-- Steve Bannon:
"When two-thirds or three-quarters of the CEOs in Silicon Valley are from South Asia or from Asia, I think... A country is more than an economy. We’re a civic society." (He dislikes Asian executives in SV).

-- Steve Bannon:
"Don’t we have a problem with legal immigration? Twenty percent of this country is immigrants. Is that not the beating heart of this problem?" (He dislikes legal immigration from any country, not just muslim majority countries).

-- Jeff Sessions:
"The H-1B program is a “tremendous threat” to American professionals." (He wishes to curb visa programs for highly educated and professional immigrants).

At the end of the day, an immigrant is an immigrant. If Steve Bannon or yourself are accepting Canadian and South African immigrants' contributions, but wish to isolate those contributions from those of Sudanese, Muslim or Asian immigrants then there is a deeper bias problem that must be talked about. The current travel ban might be of 6 muslim majority countries, but you cannot ignore the very real statements by the Trump administration about their intention to stop legal immigration from as many sources as possible.

When you keep that context in mind, it makes less sense to add nuance to the situation and start isolating contributions of immigrants based on the countries they are from.
> "Leaving the hairy question of immigration aside..."

I am all for legal immigration.

Your comment might be correctly phrased as "leaving the hairy question of illegal immigration aside..."

> "you're assuming that economic systems on the scale of nation-states are zero-sum."

I'm not assuming that at all. I'm simply making a statement that California taxpayer funds (and since money is fungible) and federal funds are used to fund people who live in this country illegally and that is only because the citizens of California elected politicians who are not fiscally responsible and seem to feel that it OK to use taxpayer funds to pay for people living here illegally.

As I originally stated, if Californians simply elected responsible politicians they would have the funds for paying for the electric train without the federal grant.
Why do we allow the securitization of these loans? Securitization is just a way to move risk oversight and responsibility from the lender to the customer of the security.
Personally, for me, it comes down to trade-offs. How quickly do you want to be able to push changes? Do you want to hire a new developer for mobile, or have an existing developer plug away on the project? Are you building a game, or does your app require very low-level code control?

React native, Ionic, etc. are great for most apps out there. There is nothing special required to get a great app published in very little time, and existing developers can jump on the project and get it done - which probably results in much cheaper overhead for a startup. It really is a win-win.

The only reason I'd consider going full native these days is for mobile gaming, and anything requiring low-level control.
The initial operating segment was always going to be near one of the Phase 1 endpoints (LA/SF) to somewhere in the middle (nothing else that doesn't require the whole north/south alignment to be built before running any trains makes sense.)

It's true that building the smaller initial construction segment in the Valley was driven by economic development concerns, but the Valley needed to be part of any sensible initial operating segment anyway, so why not start building their if the side benefits were greatest there?

No, it's not. You can be of the opinion that you don't have the right to stop people moving across a border or forcibly deport them later.

Pro-immigration groups sometimes will advocate screening, usually they don't.

A palindromic poem for Douglas Hofstadter
A Johnson counter is often used in similar circumstances.

To count eight states

0000 -> 0001 -> 0011 -> 0111 -> 1111 -> 1110 -> 1100 -> 1000 -> 0000

it would have to be a four bit register ABCD where A = B, B = C, C = D, and D = NOT A

It would be one more flip-flop but the counting logic would be free. A flip-flop has a NOT output.
Decoding of the eight states are also simple:

State 0000 is NOT A AND NOT D
State 0001 is NOT C AND D

and so on. Notice the NOTs are free.

> WTF are you talking about? Hosiery and tights are the same thing; tights are just the thicker opaque versions.

Apparently I was confused with what are considered tights these days [1].

You knew I didn't mean 100% for the spandex. I mentioned over and over in threads it is a key component in making almost any garment extra stretchy but very little has to be added. You can have spandex cotton garments for example.

> Please go learn a little more about clothing before making such ridiculous and false statements.

Thanks for being rude. As a male I admit I'm a often confused with female clothing terms.

I decided to amazon "tights" to "learn" a little. I must admit the opaque tights which are obviously to be worn with skirts (which I refer to as hosiery) do have nylon. But the tights I'm referring too that are often worn with out skirt seem to not have nylon in them.

> Only in your warped perception of the world. Just because you state something as true doesn't make it so.

I just don't see women wearing hosiery aka panty house (and I'm not talking about tights and yes there is difference see link).

Overall my point is nylon is added because it is strong and not because it comfortable.

But how about we just settle on I'm a moron and you are correct?

After all I said it was only my opinion on nylon being uncomfortable and that I have heard the same sentiment from others.

the monopoly position is unsustainable
Do you realize that many Californians associate more strongly with the undocumented immigrants than they do with people from the south? That is California. That is the state they want to have. It won't be run the way you want it to. I grew up there. I would much rather have my money flow to my neighbor, someone who works hard and is essential to the economy, than someone in Mississippi, no matter their citizenship status.
Having run through an app building exercise myself, and starting to shepherd coworkers through the same exercise, my feeling about it is the same as it was for earlier platforms (like Appcelerator) that I tried: good for certain classes of application that are mainly built around text, lists, and UI logic; weak for performance demanding areas like games. React native brings a nice dev pipeline to app development and speeds development for a lot of garden variety app development tasks, making it a real advance for prototyping or rapid iteration; it doesn't bring anything that's going to unseat native app development where native is strongest, in drawing intensive tasks.

It's still early exploration for me, so I might change my mind on this, but I'm not expecting RN to be a game-changer. Definitely useful, but not really going to upend anything.

I wasn't trying to be critical, it's just significantly more than most languages (With good reason!). This is a good thing, I dream of when we will have
libraries/frameworks for doing these kind of high level program transformations in a modular way a la LLVM.
I think situations like that are a double edged sword. Sure they are in demand but maybe it also requires them to move to another place or even move around a lot which might be incompatible with other lifestyle choices.

Bandying about terms like "living here illegally" and the tone of how you're putting it is very much inflammatory. Fiscally responsible politicians should carefully consider the larger questions and tradeoffs including costs of enforcements, larger contributions to the economy, and how much those immigrants actually pay in taxes. How about sales taxes?

Or approaching the question from the other direction, how about the larger benefits of the electrification project? By withholding money this way (and I'm pretty sure nobody responsible for the withholding has been making the same arguments you are, but happy to be shown otherwise), are we cutting off our nose to spite our face?
when you say "it's just a tool", you are minimizing the significance of actually knowing a language and the surrounding libraries and technology. Much like an aircraft is just a tool, it still requires a well trained pilot.
A lot of online time calculators don't properly account for leap seconds. For example, http://billionbirthday.com/ doesn't (of course, it can't account for yet-to-be-announced leap seconds, but it could include currently known leap-seconds). Wolfram Alpha doesn't seem to either (at least, it doesn't have the most recent leap second).

I only know this because I work on a balloon experiment and some of the quantities our GPS reports are not in UTC Time (so don't have leap second corrections).
Thinking about it, even margin loans would probably be better. This is still not as bad as doing it on housing though.
First, I don't remember mentioning that the account you are pointing to was mine. And while it is true in this case this kind of exposing does not sit well with me at all.

Second, it is a bit of a stretch to call Dan's (I still have no idea who 'dang' is, there is no name or personal address on his profile, but based on your doxing skills I will believe you) comment a warning. You can see that in other cases he's a bit more explicit ("stop doing that or we will ban you"). Also, I may be wrong, but if you read his comments a bit of different treatment is applied, I guess this is up to personal likes and dislikes.

As for offensive comments… well I am firmly in a camp of thinking that offense is taken, not given. Sure, one can be excessively rude, but I do not think this applies here. Calling opinion you consider bullshit is worth banning? Well, sad day indeed, then. More so because you can find plenty of stronger expression here which are posted without repercussions—likely because mods agree with them?

Cultural differences? Close enough I guess. I am still not sure if shaping this place into a Stepford where everyone is all fake smiles and nods in agreement is a best way, but it is not up to me to decide.

I am glad that at leas on topic of "we" we are in some agreement. As I've mentioned previously there may very well be solid reasons for this kind of anonymity, but it still feels very inhuman.

Vanilla Reddit is almost garbage because of how default subreddit posts take over your front page.

What you need to do is to unsub from all default subreddits, subscribe to niche ones you like and use Reddit Enhancement Suite (RES) [1] to contain the default subreddits to what RES calles the Dashboard (basically a page where you can add lots of subreddits as individual widgets).

Sorry, not super familiar with Syncthing. It's definitely not impossible to do better than Dropbox, but to some degree, as in all things, it's a function of engineering resources, telemetry, and usage.

We've likely put 25-100x more resources into solving this problem over the last 10 years, and we just have a lot more data b/c we have 100s of millions of users on lots of platforms using Dropbox with every application you can imagine. So we're able to tease out the "long tail" of weird file system and application behavior in a way that's very difficult for smaller projects. Truly durable conflict management in the face of arbitrary mutations by user applications on the filesystem ends up being a really, really hard problem to cover exhaustively. The Dropbox client handles literally hundreds of special cases.

So, yeah, I believe it is (in general) safe to assume that Dropbox is probably doing A-more-correct-thing for a complicated (and admittedly confusing) reason when it comes to sync behavior. But we're not perfect--we do still find surprises from time to time, so feel free to contact support if you see something that looks wrong!
Nope, your argument does not negate the idea that those screening measures wouldn't turn away desirable immigrants.

I also see that you are listing a lot of countries with very small populations and an even smaller number of legal immigrants. If they don't show up in start ups, that would be the first thing I'd check. Not their supposedly lower IQ or education, which I would reject in the case of some of these countries.
