I will be graduating with an M.Sc. in Artificial Intelligence in July and am looking for my first professional opportunity to kick-start my new career as a data scientist or machine learning engineer.
Interesting... So I most of my time in a terminal too. As a rule, I always (a) run gnome-terminal in full screen, (b) always run byobu in the terminal, and then (c) always use byobu/tmux to split the screen up into a bunch of shells doing their things.

This is a good idea, though!
Expo | Software Developer | Palo Alto, CA | ONSITE, FULL-TIME | https://expo.io

Expo (formerly Exponent) lets developers build truly native apps that work across both iOS and Android by writing them once in just JavaScript. It's open source and free and uses React Native. Several of our engineers are core contributors to React Native, and we regularly collaborate with Facebook and other companies on the direction of the framework.

Our technology is built around an Android/iOS application which allows developers to load their JavaScript projects on the fly with no native build dependencies. Out of the box, developers using Expo get access to native mobile APIs like push notifications, camera, maps, and more (https://docs.getexponent.com/versions/v15.0.0/sdk/index.html).

We have a lot of irons in the fire, and we're looking for engineers who can comfortably own and work on multiple projects. Some examples of recent projects at Expo:

* Creating cross-platform APIs (like our new WebGL implementation) that provide developers native mobile functionality within JavaScript

* Building Snack (https://snack.expo.io), a JSFiddle-esque tool for React Native

* Designing and implementing a community front-end to explore applications built on Expo

* Building the foundation of a scalable infrastructure to host our take on a new mobile web

Some projects that are underway or on the horizon for us:

* Greatly expanding the functionality available in our SDK's API

* Improved monitoring and alerting for our infrastructure

* Increasing our test coverage and improving overall reliability

Some buzzwords: React Native, JavaScript (ES6/ES7, Flow), Android, iOS, Node.js, Electron, Go, Kubernetes, Google Cloud.
We don't expect candidates to already be proficient in these, but it's what we're currently using day-to-day.

Please send an email to jobs@expo.io and mention this post if you'd like to start a conversation with us. Definitely include links to any applicable resources: resume/CV, your blog, GitHub profile, recent projects or open source contributions, etc. Typical interviews with us include remote pairing, small take-home projects (1-2 hours), and we usually finish with some more traditional in-person interviews.

Are you arguing that people would be better off investing in Ford? Because if not, I don't really see the point of always trotting out the fact that 100 year old auto-makers have a larger manufacturing base than new ones. Seems obvious. "People in their 30s, on average, are taller than people in elementary school!" Whoa, really??!!!
Why doesn't Apple buy AMD? I know there's a perennial dance around their buying Intel, but that would probably raise some pretty gnarly questions (antitrust, for a start).

But AMD has solid GPU experience, solid x86 and chipset experience, and with Ryzen is (finally) making some headway against Intel's CPU lead. What's not to love?
Interestingly enough, it looks like Oath.com is owned by Gary Millin, a very prominent domainer.

This is the biggest mistaken belief of the programming industry.

Where we're headed is multi-level architectures. At the bottom is what you think of as "all programming". It's low level code, with manual deployment, using a wide range of fairly arcane tools. You need to be a professional to do it.

What is slowly emerging, which you suggest is impossible, is a layer on top of that. It is written in highly constrained code. You can't import random libraries, and you can't write spaghetti code, because you are writing in a highly constrained DSL. It's still real code. It's still a Turing machine. But you are working within a sandbox that your professional software engineering colleague built for you.

Most of us software pros don't think about development this way. We think we're supposed to be releasing finished apps to end users. But 20 years from now, we'll think of our job as releasing libraries for "non-programmers" to use. DSLs that are foolproof, which end users will string together using simple function calls and literals and nothing else. Languages in which it's very difficult to express broken ideas.

There's no reason the marketing team can't write this file:

post("miami", "Bienvenido a Miami!")
image("miami", "http://static.flickr.com...")
paragraph("miami", "We've gotten more requests for a Miami location than the rest of our...")

Well, there is a reason. It's almost certain that the programmers down the hall, like you, don't believe that a marketing professional could handle the "hours of thinking and planning" required to write that code. But again, they are all mistaken. Any smart, computer-savvy person could write that code after a few minutes of instruction.

But first you'd have to build that API, and a realtime preview, that is editable from a nice simple web app. You could do the "hours of thinking and planning" so that your colleagues could write the high level business code.

That's where this is all going. There will be a lot of programmers that work inside a sandbox like that, a few hours a week. Most programmers will work like that. And there will be a smaller number of seasoned pros will maintain those sandboxes.
Hard to tell what's actually inside them, but these sorts of ATMs don't look very intimidating:

The funny thing, some of this already exists these days. It is called ZipCar, Car2Go, or DriveNow. All of them suffer from the very same problem: service.

It does not matter if a car is selfdriving or not. To be recognized as available by someone means a utilization of about 30% by the providing company. But a utilization of about 30% does not drive down costs. You still of costs for producing and servicing the vehicle, which is way higher than just the energy costs.

Tesla has no experience in free floating vehilce fleets. Uber has no experience in such thing. ZipCar has. Car2Go has. Car2Go as an subsidary of Daimler even has experience in car production.

Now think of that.

I don't know what a "lower middle class neighborhood" is like but when I worked at McD's quite a few of my coworkers expressed "I don't trust banks" sentiment.
We have to calm down with the metrics, accreditations and regulations, and accept that some people are better than others at certain things, hire the right people and trust them to do a good job.

Honest question - how do we know who is better at what if not by some measure/metric? How do we know who the right people are? Is it just a matter of 'expert opinion'? And if so, how do we prevent cliques and nepotism?
what is "some issue"? looks fine to me
Ah this is a good idea, and one we're very specifically trying to solve. The way you're going to do this in Ubuntu will be with the "snap" packaging manager!

You can already use "snap install ..." to install hundreds of latest/greatest software packages, which evolve independently of the underlying OS. We're investing even more heavily here, so please do stay tuned, and try out snaps!

Do you have any evidence that either of those will make money? I have evidence that pet friendly cars lose money - Uber used to have a program that catered towards dogs and they cancelled it because it lost money.

You haven't solved anything until you've demonstrated a working solution. If it were so easy to fix problems in the real world, politicians would have our economy constantly booming, there would be more jobs than people, and the Middle East would be the most peaceful place on Earth.

Anyway, I don't think we're going to agree on anything. I'm exiting this thread.

Totally agree and there are some reasons to be optimistic about logic programming and the like - Bayesian systems like PRISM and answer set programming seem to me to be big steps forward since the last time we went round the block on this!

However I think that the cost of knowledge engineering is still massive and the challenge of this kind of project so sharp that it makes me quail to imagine execution! I think three or four years of full on tool development might make this more practical...
> No, what would happen is you'd say to yourself "Hmm, looks like I need a self-balancing tree. Haven't thought about those in N years..."

You're attacking a strawman which has little to do with the original post or what the other commenter is saying. There's a lot of developers out there who lack the knowledge to ask the question you pose in the first place, so wouldn't end up doing that searching. The type of interviewing you're criticizing is intended to identify developers lacking the kind of base knowledge needed as a foundation for further inquiry.
I think you may underestimate the capabilities of a portable drill.

Oh wow I didn't realize there were this many conversations! I wrote this article based almost exclusively on the Judge's ruling so I hope that it's pretty accurate despite the sensationalist headline :)
Favorited and I will check it out soon. Thanks for posting it.
But why would anybody come work for you then? There are plenty of companies that don't fire, and they would be far more attractive.
That's not a direct comparison, though - that's all people with a high school diploma versus all people with a college degree.

To draw any conclusion off this, you'd need to compare people who were considering college but do not attend versus those who were considering college but did attend - even if they didn't graduate. Only then do you have a metric that you can use to represent the ROI of attending college.
Category theory is mostly useful if you're getting very deep into Haskell, or if—for some reason—you need to generalize the lamba calculus to handle strange new kinds of computations.

In particular, the lamba calculus is closely related to Cartesian closed categories, which are in turn related to topoi (which are used in many cases of mathematical logic). And from there it's a small leap to probability and generalizations of probability theory.

So basically, if you're a programming language designer with esoteric tastes, category theory contains some great abstractions.

Here's​ an example showing how to represent quantum superposition as a monad: http://blog.sigfpe.com/2007/02/monads-for-vector-spaces-prob... If this kind of thing makes you drool, go learn some category theory. :-)

You're aware of the 1998 Act signed by Bill Clinton I hope?

And the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_Iraq_(1998) ?

"The Iraq Liberation Act of 1998 is a United States Congressional statement of policy stating that "It should be the policy of the United States to support efforts to remove the regime headed by Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq..."[1][2] It was signed into law by President Bill Clinton, .... "
Lots of places, but I would guess finance and gaming have it at the highest percentage. They have the strictest performance requirements so algorithms and data structures end up custom built for the job more often.
It's not exactly circular, since there are many less managers than low level workers, and progressively less people as you go higher. Presumably the people at the top were once successful managers or successful workers.

Basically, this promotes a system where metrics are given by how your peers and managers feel about you.

Perhaps while our metrics aren't perfectly capable of predicting how good a worker will turn out or judging it's progress, we shouldn't rely too much on them in place of peer judgement.

But indeed let's not fool ourselves that coworker judgement is perfect. It needlessly introduces a whole body of biases, unnecessary politics, and social engineering that can be as bad if not worse than a metric-only system, which at least are objective.

Might be slight off topic. But I'm sort of Python enthusiast for a long time but never been able to actually learn how to code. I'm sort of aspiring software developer but a degree in irrelevant engineering.

My question is, by studying/doing good amount of Python [currently working on it], going through the entire interview challenges presented here, seeking to gain Master degree in Management Information System [MIS], can I apply for job and be shortlisted which might require CS graduate and maybe graduate with MS in CS?

Let's just say for the sake of the comment, I won't be able to obtain a MS in CS because for numerous reasons.

Probably a similar question, but headed in the other direction "Why should I learn assembly?"
You probably shouldn't. But in the process of learning it you might gain a greater understanding and intuition for how and why things work.

The term is "dual-use technology". [1] There are many. And in general users of those technologies are precisely those most keenly aware of it.

In particular, the gene driver really is only of interest in organisms with very rapid generational turnover. It 'rapidly' speeds the propagation of a mutation over sexual transmission proportional to the generation time. This works for mosquitos. It makes no sense to use a gene-driver on a human population. A virus itself is, well, virulent - they need no help from CRISPR to get there.

Further, there are always exceptions/antidotes/alternatives in biology. In fact the recent discovery of some (useful) Cas9 inhibitors was predicated on the idea that there are organisms out there that have CRISPR systems in them that are themselves flanked by excision sites. By all rights they should not be able to have both the CRISPR system and have that system be marked for destruction - but they did - simultaneously. So they went searching, and they found the inhibitor in those organisms. And there are many more out there. [2]
