That's true. But the appropriate programs should be created, budgeted, or extended to provide food appropriately, not to somehow mix basic daily nutrition with doctors, insurance and pharmacies.

If they found a medical relationship is more effective, great. But the answer is to budget and create appropriate rules for that first.
Al Gores real job on the Apples board had been to have Steve Jobs back. Jobs wanted a card blanche to lead Apple (and never be fired again) so he picked a respectable board loyal/friendly to him.
It is important to Facebook to crush Snap, not only to maintain their dominance of the social graph, but also to send a message to future social networks: you can either be like Instagram and Whatsapp and let us buy you or be like Snapchat and be crushed. Snap's IPO payday of $3 billion is probably less than Facebook would have paid for them.

Video is always decoded on CPU on Linux. Always. Eating, at 4K, around 5-10% on an i7-6700.

+1 .. Plus a lot of interviewing skills are just common people skills that you can screw up without thinking about it. Just keep interviewing and pay attention and review things afterwards. Simple things can make a difference. I had a job that I really hated and tended to bad-talk the company in interviews. I went for months without an offer as it, not surprisingly, turns out that people don't respond well to this. Once I stopped doing it I had 2 offers within a few weeks.

"There are more than half a million open computing jobs in America today"

What does this even mean? Doesn't basic economics tell us about supply and demand. At a low salary, demand for developers will be high, and supply will be low. At a high salary, demand will be lower, and supply will be higher.

What does this "half a million openings" say other than that the supply and demand curves are out of whack because employers aren't paying enough?

There's another little problem here - being a software developer, even one of those "CRUD" developers, is actually very difficult. Just try getting a basic web app with a database back end and a new fangled javascript framework running. Now get specs from a client. Host it on a server. Keep the server up and running. Fix bugs. Make estimates. Deal with business requirements that don't fit easily into the technical framework. Negotiate, explain, do demos. Upgrade as your javascript framework goes out of date every 6 months. Realize that the upgrade requires massive refactoring. Add developers and bring them up to speed, use git properly. Do code reviews, explain difficult sections to a group at the whiteboard. Articulate complex logic and how it relates to business requirements. Track down and fix obscure server log errors. Migrate data. Migrate it back when the new data structure doesn't work...

This takes substantial reading comprehension, presentation skills, business acumen, writing, negotiating. People who can do this well and are free to choose their procession without fear of deportation really do have a lot of options. They don't have to be software developers.

Now, ask them to work in a big open office with limited autonomy and middling salaries (really - out here in SF, the median salary for an application developer is a little more than for a dental hygienist, and less than a registered nurse[1]). Don't be surprised if people with choice choose other fields. It really isn't a head scratcher.

All in all? Being a dev is an OK job, it can be a rational choice to become a developer, but I don't see anything close to the kind of gap that would have me scratching my head about a "shortage" of developers or worrying about "a half a million unfilled jobs." Honestly, every observation I have suggests that people with the ability to become devs may be rationally choosing to do other things, as you'd expect in a free labor market (note - many of the people who work as devs in the bay area are not free members of the labor market, they are required to work as devs as a condition of living in the US - this may be partly why the market hasn't adjusted).

[1] I've learned that I should always add this bit - I have no objection to nurses being paid well, more than devs. And I'm aware the salaries are higher for nurses in the Bay Area, devs often earn more in other regions - however, the Bay Area is ground zero for this supposed "shortage", so I think it's reasonable to consider regional salaries here.

I can see now why DOM manipulation was so catastrophic for performance on IE5-8, all that bookkeeping of character positions must have been a killer once the DOM tree was of any significant size.

Makes me wonder. If edits to DOM nodes on legacy IE were focused on attribute values only, and the string-lengths of those edited attributes never changed, whether one could bypass the bookkeeping and get good performance gains.

The book proves most things, just doesn't follow the standard math format of theorem-followed-by-proof. All the definitions are reasonably clear, and most of the proofs that are accessible and educational are given (e.g. the equivalence statements about invertible matrices). The exercises and problems also ask readers to complete several other interesting proofs (with solutions in the back).

In a future pass I plan to add more proofs, wherever adding formal structure doesn't interfere with the flow.
$400 VC-Backed Juice Machine Is Completely Unnecessary
Calling this is a "farm team" is completely bullshit. It's an apprenticeship on an existing team.

If it was truly a "farm team", it would be a completely separate group working on a different product. Now, that would actually be something interesting to try. Throw together 2 senior level developers as "coaches" and 20 new grads all on a team working on stuff that the other dev teams don't have time for. They could be fixing bugs in products owned by another team, or working on their own completely separate projects.

I'd love to see a big company try something like that!
I agree that it is challenging for all the reasons you stated and more.

This highlights a very key problem that the OP may be having.

Less important than whether or not he is "junior", he needs to know what to call himself in order to correctly communicate the value proposition he's offering to the potential employer's HR department. The only way to know that is to figure out what people call what he wants to do in his market.

Maybe he's a "web developer", maybe he's a "software engineer", maybe he's something in between. But he should definitely A/B test terms to see whether his responses change and how.
I am very surprised at the negativity in the reply to this. Of all things to gameify, brushing your teeth is a fantastic subject. It helps develop good habits for a personal and typically solitary activity.

As you're already here, when can we expect Firefox to...

(a) read QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS to do per-screen dpi scaling on Linux? Currently there's an old-style extension to read this, and scale the browser accordingly, but with WebExtension only, I'd be stuck with a browser that's always the wrong scale.

(b) support hardware video decoding on Linux? Currently I use a plugin to force Firefox to use VLC to handle HTML5 video, wherever possible, so I can get fluent video - with WebExtension, this won't be possible, and CPU-decoding of HTML5 video eats over 5-10% of CPU even on an i7-6700 with a 4K video. On laptops, it's almost unusable.

(c) How long do you expect it to take until we can customize the entire browser chrome with HTML, CSS and JS again? XUL will be gone, but with Browser.html, and competing browsers such as Vivaldi, these things are possible easily. As we're already on that topic...

(d) as you don't seem to be willing to implement Tab Previews in the browser itself, when can we expect a WebExtension API to do so ourselves? In old-style extensions it is possible, but this breaks with WebExtension.

Your economics are incomplete. You can't buy your way out of an aggregate shortage. The price will rise until only the rich can afford what is in short supply, and then, eventually, only the richest rich, and so on. The rest do without.

These companies have created their own shortage by insisting they will only hire the top 1% and be unwilling to invest in anyone less 'capable' regardless of the quality of their so-called filter at identifying talent. So now they have 'discovered' the concept of actually helping people they would have ignored yesterday to grow into the talent they need (and absorbing the marginal costs of that investment). An idea boldly entering the 1950s as an innovation.

The revolving door hiring in SV has maxed out with virtually all the 'suitable' talent in play and still many openings unfilled despite plenty of reasonably capable but sub-superstar talent pushed to the margins. The lid has been maintained on salaries mostly by agreements between the usual suspects, not market forces. The fact is that many perfectly good developers will be ignored by SV at any price and that's now biting the companies hard.

Side projects and volunteer work helped me earn my current position. ~mid-level programmer at a large digital media corporation.

So reversible computing requires less energy not more right? Last I heard it is damn hard to forget information.
While I feel this is deviating from the topic at hand, I have always had some questions about how a society could be classless. Even a kindergarten was made into a class society based solely on eye color after the teacher mentioned that eye colors meant certain things about a person. In a communist society, even if wealth were equal, there are many inherent factors that differ between people due to their unique genetics and life histories. Consider just charisma and attractiveness. Someone who was rich in both would still be in a vastly superior position compared to someone who lacked both, and would be able to secure themselves an overall better life (at least on average). The only way I could see full equality of outcomes would be with some power in charge directing it, and even then the one heading that power would still be superior.

Consider something else, reproduction. While not all people want to have children, it is a major desire of many people. How do we ensure equal opportunity of reproduction to all who wish to have children?
Don't forget that both the police and military aren't part of the "elite" so I don't think it's fair to say they'd all blindly oppose any rebellion or uprising. They could very easily help it as well. Many police and military are greatly underpaid and underappreciated. And Im sure most of them would want a better America.

Some might consider me naive but I believe many if not most all police and military are good wholesome people who will try to do their best for the people. A few bad media popularized outliers does not represent the whole.

My main point is that there is work behind the scenes happening that you don't have to worry about, on an undefined number of machines that you don't have to care about.
Yes, there is still a cluster which does some kind of planning and post-processing now, plus there is obviously a lot of coordination, but it's not like Hadoop or classic Redshift, where you are constrained only to the hardware that you paid for and set up. It's the provisioning in the central phase that resembles BQ the most.

Many times people will see an asymptote and say "Hey, what would happen if I crossed that? What would the math and physics look like?"

Tachyons are actually a great example of this. Taking the relativistic mass equation and asking "What would happen if I allowed for speeds larger than the speed of light?" Science is more a process of elimination. What does the math say? Can we observe what the math says should happen? Repeat.
Logically (and therefore thermodynamically) reversible. By Landauer's principle, the only reason a computer must emit heat (and therefore use energy) is to perform irreversible operations. Therefore, if you want a computer that (potentially) uses the minimum energy, it needs to be reversible in this sense.

An irreversible operation is anything that maps many (possible) states to the same state. Setting a bit to zero is irreversible (because it destroys the information about what bit was there previously). An AND gate is irreversible (because both TF and FT map to F). A NOT gate is reversible (because you can infer the input from the output.)

There are universal reversible gates (Toffoli and Fredkin gates are examples, but there are many others), so you can (theoretically) build a (usable) computer whose logical operations are completely reversible.

> honestly held beliefs

Honestly held beliefs can be wrong. In this case divination of the sorts you have described fly in the face of empirical testing. Please stop presuming my level of knowledge, I am fairly certain I have more than none in this regard and would not have commented otherwise.

> Usually, it does.

Then publish a paper and pick up your Nobel prize. Or start a business and guarantee results. Or do one of a million other things people do with technologies that work do and go be successful.

Except you can't because the ranks of fortune tellers, prophets, mystics and yogis is filled with charlatans. Some honest but wrong and some liars deceiving, but it doesn't matter both are wrong or their practices would have spread as far as success took other ideas like modern agriculture, engineering or math.

You simply cannot get knowledge without working for it. These "revealed" sources don't stand up to experimentation because they are quite literally made up, and experimentation is how we work for it.
Not really. Olympus, Panasonic, Fuji and Sony have been good in this space. Canon and Nikon have been too afraid of cannibalizing their DSLR's to produce decent mirrorless cameras.
While I myself would make a wonderful monarch and encourage you all to nominate me as your king or queen, sadly I am not immortal and the problem you describe is a real one.

I personally think the solution may be to remove the idea of representation from government, because the perverse incentives for anyone at a structural node are tempting and human nature is fragile. You can try to engineer corruption and rent-seeking with rule systems, but as we've seen in many Communist countries taking money out of things doesn't necessarily get your a more equitable or sustainable society.

I see a future with a much abridged legal code that is maintained somewhat like Wikipedia or a version control system, and whose implementation is built around blockchain technology and a narrowly-defined ethical calculus. However I can only handwave this for the time being as the challenges of computation legal and governmental systems are non-trivia, not to mention offering the many novel problems that would surely ensue.
You're right. Of all the mainstream textbooks on subjects for first-year science, linear algebra textbooks are the best of them all.

I guess the main "bullshit" I could reproach is the price tags, $60 -- $90, but even that is nothing compared to the textbooks for first-year calculus and mechanics that run $200+.
Also, study before your interview. The company, the products, and the tech being used.

Refresh yourself on the skills they're asking for. Not as a way to fake it, but as a way to make sure those topics are fresh in your mind.
There are certain core things that your agency will have to do in order to succeed. Some high level examples:

- Aquire Clients
- Do client work
- Manage projects
- Bill clients
- Do pricing/timeline and estimates
- Hire employees or freelancers

Within each of these high level tasks are numerous subtasks.

You do not want to re-invent how you do those things each time you need to do them. You want a tried a true process that you keep evolving and improving based on a historical success and experimentation. This will allow you to scale and handle larger and larger projects. It will also allow you to onboard new team members quickly and when they leave, the things they learned won't leave with them because you'll have documented the learnings.

This is the book that inspired this line of thinking in me.

See - at times the pacing is what I quite like - I agree that there are other ways to get information across faster, but Carlin plays with the audio format to force you to dwell on certain things.

So, I had always learned that the American Civil war was a foreshadowing of WWI, both the high number of casualties, and the entrenchment which was being utilized by the end of the Civil War... I knew about the Austro-Prussian and the Franco-Prussian Wars, but I didn't know about the casualties, OMG:

> Total casualties in killed, wounded, and missing broke 100,000, with Austrian losses nearly doubling those of the Prussians.

In two months of fighting? That's crazy, and at a 1-2 rate, definitely the end of the muzzle-loaded rifle.

> Combined casualties from the combatants (killed, wounded, missing) neared the 1 million mark.

In 9 months of fighting? That's insane. Those numbers far exceed the American Civil War, which was Approx. 650,000 for the entire four years. It should have been obvious to both France and Germany that WWI was going to be much much more deadly, they both had directly experienced it a generation before. It's sad this didn't give them pause.
