Still incorrect. You can say 'mathematically shown to be physically impossible'.

Mathematical proof is mathematical. It has nothing to do with the physical world.

P.S.: Note that 'mathematically shown to be physically impossible' still allows the possibility that the mathematical model was invalid. E.g., what if, after you have mathematically shown it to be physically impossible, you conduct an experiment and the "physically impossible" happens? That means you just provided an evidence that the mathematical model is invalid.

P.S.: There are tons of resources on this topic [1]. Read and make up your own mind.

While it may have the effect of decreasing job liquidity, I don't see how that effect could be the main purpose unless you believe companies are mass colluding. Because the company running the interview is highly motivated to find a good candidate quickly and reliably.

A less intriguing but probably more accurate reason is that finding good people is hard, nobody really knows how to do it, whiteboard interviews provide a rough filter, and they're what everybody else does, so we're gonna do it....
History is more nuanced than the propaganda delivered by our state education would lead us to believe. Murray Rothbard has uncovered much here, so I will link this teaser article again. [1]

Highly recommend his books to anyone wanting to dig into the history of Progressive Era regulation, which transformed our laissez-faire economy into a centrally managed one. It offers deep insights into why our economy seems completely dysfunctional and unfair; it was designed that way to benefit powerful interests. People actually were better off with more freedom.

It's a band-aid for an unfixed root cause. Solving problems by talking doesn't work for all people. It astonishes me how broken interview processes are. They just need to see if the candidate will be able to do the daily job of a current employee in that position. It's that simple. It doesn't require whiteboards, puzzles, 10 interviews. Put the candidate to work on a project that you currently facing and see his performance. Doing something other than that is bullshit.
... which is roughly how much money it'll cost to have a good lawyer carefully set up a C-Corp for you.
Startup/Venture Capital lawyer here (but not your lawyer). Agreed with chimeracoder below. As for cost, a few grand is a good minimum estimate, but it really depends on the complexity. If you've been around as an LLC for a while, you may have different types of equity that has been issued (e.g. profits interests), which will complicate the conversion process a bit. Your lawyer will also have to review the LLC's operating agreement to make sure there aren't any funky protective provisions or oddities that will complicate the conversion. Unlike most Delaware C-corp charters in the startup world, LLC operating agreements are extraordinarily flexible and variable documents, so it's a custom review almost every time we have to go through one of these conversions.

An interview process is inherently asymmetrical- the evaluated is in a vulnerable position. So it feels like Mark Twain's not-quote([0]) would apply - "It’s better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt."

What I'm saying is that there's an underlying fear of looking bad when spouting off your mental rough drafts, during an interview. What would be helpful if interviewers were clear about their expectations, as in, "You will be graded on your overall approach, not your initial ideas." or "We don't take points off for hints."

Pretty sure socket.io will be fine unless it falls back to HTTP polling, which iirc it shouldn't do in the newest version of Chrome unless something is misconfigured on one end.
I mean who cares, really. 90% of developers will spend time building reusable components that will be used exactly once, and and some people will open source some stuff that wedges in every suggestion and pull so it is 5 times the complexity any one person ever needs and then we will talk about the failed promise of web components.
Thanks so much for the insight (grew up on a small farm in the northeast)! I'm curious how much worse you've found the "drift-killing" of these newer chemicals than traditional herbicides - are farmers simply being more reckless with application of glyphosate and 2,4-d or are they intrinsically more volatile?
I hear you.

In my experience with quite a few Scala project with mixed teams it's not a problem though.

You just maintain some shared culture of "don't do X if not absolutely necessary".
You need that for any language. In this case it's: don't do typelevel tricks if you can help it. And it turns out that 99.9 % of non-framework code doesn't need it. And the large majority of devs are fine with writing clear code.

Then there are some smart devs that are at a stage of personal development where they are intrigued with typelevel tricks. I've only had one colleague who didn't wasn't open to the "hey, that's not really necessary there. Let's not add complexity if we can help it" type of code review comment.

To each his own. But for the teams I've worked with Scala was the typed-FP-on-the-JVM lets-get-shit-done language.
> I'm curious, where have you found the need for lateinit?

It's useful as soon as a field is managed by a container, which means it will most likely not be initialized at construction time of the object.

Examples of containers: Android, JavaEE, web servlet containers, DI frameworks, etc...

So basically, they are pretty much ubiquitous.
I don't disagree with the potential for it being seen as a disadvantage. I don't think 'I saw it as a force for good' is ordinarily going to dissuade someone who sees it as a disadvantage at best it might be an excuse. The problem with excuses for one's own behavior is that they are often taken as a mark of character (whereas excuses for others' behaviors are often seen as a hallmark of judgment).
By spreading truth and facts. The anti Trump media and anti media Trump are destroying the core fabric of news consumption in this country and that's what's causing the divisiveness and hatred.

> Is this a waste of time?

Yes. Unless you have very deep pockets or are willing to violate free software license agreements to build this editor, you won't reach a level of maturity that is comparable to the graphical editors artists and designers use any time soon.

Most digital artists really heavily on the tools they've mastered, and will probably consider being forced to use sub-par tools (and probably a specific OS) because you don't trust them a red flag. Might depend on whom you intend to hire though. People from developing countries looking to earn a quick buck might be willing to put up with such shenanigans.

It won't win you any points for sympathy though, and depending on what you intend to build (a marketplace for digital graphics?) might cause too much friction to even get your project off the ground.

It's hard to know what Google was thinking since they've never said much. Installation labor of Google Fiber should be far lower than FIOS/GigaPower due to Google's "rally" redlining model, but we don't know if that panned out.

But that's exactly the logic global warming skeptics use - there are underlying incentives to arrive at certain conclusions. If you find yourself in the business of having to defend or attack incentives and influences, you're not addressing the science. Instead, you're just playing in the politics.

If bad science is making it to publication, or bad science is being accepted by other scientists, then it's not really science. Right?

Don't mistake my statements for justifying the lack of transparency Monsanto has apparently engaged in. It's unfortunate, for sure, and those who are carrying their water should be castigated for it. It's not in the spirit of good science.

But it's reasonable to think that had they been transparent, it wouldn't have been published. Because we have decided their underlying incentives are bad (and consequently, the underlying incentives of others are good). And that's not in the spirit of good science, either.

tl;dr: The negative values described in that article are possible because a broader definition is used:

> In statistical mechanics and thermodynamics, temperature is defined as follows:

> 1/temperature = change in entropy/change in energy

> This definition of temperature can go from positive infinity to negative infinity.

For context, the more common definition for absolute temperature is the average kinetic energy of the particles in the system, which of course can't be negative.

Google obviously knew that; they may have thought that revenue over time would justify the high build-out costs (and their preferred profitability time horizon may have changed with corporate changes at Alphabet since then), or the reorg to Access may have given a broader mission than Fiber previously had and they may actually just be taking a real pause to evaluate whether the previous approach is really the best, given the tools available, for the new mission.
Why? Github enterprise offers exactly that. An "On premises" Github.
That is true. GitHub really got it with the UI, and it was so easy to get used to. Later on, I was thinking I was having slight problems with GL's interface because I was so used to GitHub, but after some time spending on GitLab, I think they really could rethink the UI.
I'd imagine you could start by whitelisting domains. This wouldn't help commercial sites but if you "followed" a domain it would be no worse than Twitter notifications.
Note that the case for fiber in rural areas that don't have cable is that DSL doesn't have a real upgrade path for long distances. (Funny there is a standard for long-range high performance DSL, HDSL, but you've never heard of it because it makes fiber look cheap)

Another story you aren't hearing is that big improvements in communication speeds from current commodity protocols (i.e. 1Gig Ethernet, 4G wireless) aren't practical with Silicon-based technology as we know it, and these things are only likely to get affordable if the industry makes a transition to faster semiconductors such as Indium Phosphide.

Ouch. It's 2017. I know it's a blog about unit testing, but using SHA-1, let alone unsalted SHA-1, for password hashing even if for illustration purposes is dangerous.
Also, all the other particles in the universe will exert a force on the particle (through e.g. gravitation), which will probably result in (small) vibration of the the particle.
You won't ever fully replace GIF, at least not in the next decade. There are too many devices and apps/software that ONLY have GIF support due to the low computational footprint (designed for 1989 hardware). There's a reason why all these sites that have replaced GIF with HTML5 video still have a GIF fallback available. The file size is usually much larger, but it is supported everywhere. 100% of devices will be able to support GIFs. It's hard to argue with universal support.

Also, FLIF is much better than APNG, animated WebP, MNG, etc. If we are going to adopt a new universal standard as a replacement, that's the smarter route.
It starts to sound like browsers should support JSX natively...
Good point, although I find that performance is always an issue—even when I'm plugged in. I'm also a tab hoarder (though more in Firefox, thanks to Tree Style Tabs), and I find that my Mac's sluggishness is always caused by having too many tabs open.

Sadly, my workaround has been to quit and re-launch browsers, which presumably has a similar effect to this update. Looking forward to seeing if the new version keeps things snappier...

No insult was intended. I intended to disparage the hiring processes of the companies I have previously encountered. Your experience appears to have set different expectations than mine. Perhaps it is a regional difference?

I work mainly with companies with a significant physical presence in the US Midwest and near-South. The furthest west I have ever interviewed was in Denver.

A significant number of the companies I have interviewed with lack even the ability to respond to a follow-up message the day after an interview, so never mind contacting someone months later.
Devil's advocate:

How else will you prove that YOU shipped those things over that period?

* Github account? Ha, my code is on github in many places, mostly without attribution, none of them uploaded by me.

* Recommendations? Ha. Unless the person recommending you already works at the company, their trustworthiness is zero - they could be a paid accomplice.

* Resume? Unless you were the sole employee, there is no way to tell how much actual work YOU did.

* "Tell me about that one time you solved an interesting problem?" Ha. Can easily be a well-practiced lie.

(yes i have seen all of the above)

Turns out that the only sure way to tell if you can do X, is to make you do X and watch you yourself actually do it, in person.

Now, I am not accusing YOU of fraudulently trying to get a job, but people do. An in person interview is a good way to see.

That doesn't match my experience (as a former academic scientist who moved into software development). The governing rule for us was always "publish or perish." Programming was a means (exploring a problem) to an end (advancing knowledge and publishing the results). I, at least, never came across the jargon for testing, maintenance, etc. until I moved out of academia and into this industry.
Looks like that's it: "We identified 2 coding variants: one rare variant which was observed in a single control (c.401G>A; p.S134N) and one common variant (rs3173615, pT185S)." (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3034409/)

Delawarean here! Having spent some time as a writer/reporter learning about the Delaware incorporation process, I've found that this is one of the biggest reasons why companies/investors continue to prefer Delaware.

Startup/Venture Capital lawyer here (but not your lawyer). Winding up a corporation can take a little time, but it's generally not terribly complex. It's mostly filing a few forms with the state. However, there are more considerations that you'll want to make as you decide what to do - one question being, "who is liable for the acts of your company before the CA LLC existed?" Entities, when properly used, can shield you from personal liability. But if the entity is no longer in existence, then you may end up being personally liable for any acts (without the proper planning).

"and if you can't forsee at least somewhat in the future, you're not doing it right"

This is the idea I'm trying to discuss. You cannot know future trade offs in advance. You can only make a bunch of assumptions about the future. But the more assumptions you make, the fewer of them will be correct or worthy of the time and even more will not be addressed at all. Which defeats the purpose of the technical debt concept.

Jumping into the future with the "no-technical-debt" solution is generally a bad idea.

Generally yes. My gripes in assessment were mainly with science classes that asked subtly different questions on exams than what was covered in class, and english/humanities teachers who had broad reign to judge your performance based on whether you found some highly subjective moral or nugget of wisdom in the literature material.

Sure, I can understand that, but my advice is still broadly useful. Increasingly the forms websites use to collect information do a spot-check on the address, or at least the zip code. It helps to have one in mind that you can quickly use, along with some dedicated webmail.

If you also happen to be someone who struggles in the social arena, it's a way to avoid even the most unlikely of conflicts.
I don't think it's just a communication thing. It's also a confidence thing. When a culture places emphasis on self-censoring behavior, then the candidate is less likely to express themselves for fear of censure.
