it seems that in this case, two wrongs show as right:

1. The CIO/CTOs are too easily pushing the responsibility to such Indian IT companies. You know, easy to blame someone else and save money in the same time. And get some shares up too.

2. The Indian companies use very deceptive means to capture this market. Simply, they lie about their competencies.

It happened in multiple occasions when we got send from the indian 'partner' two 'best' person they had. They were suppose to be 10+ Linux experienced. Believe me, when I showed them the command line and I gave them a random, but real, task they just simply stared and didn't know where to start. After 10 minutes ( had to attend something else), I found them heavily browsing SO. Case closed!
That reminds me of a (proably apocryphal) story regarding IBM's "Black Team" [0]:

> The individuals who made up the team were not exceptionally intelligent or talented, but they all enjoyed testing software and were better than average at it. When these like minded individuals were assembled, they they spent their working hours, lunches and sometimes free time collaborating on how to better find software defects.

> Soon the members of team were twice and then dozens of times more effective than their peers, and they began to view their jobs not as testing software, but as breaking software. Team members took a well-deserved pride in their abilities and began to cultivate an image of villainous destroyers. As a group, they began coming to work dressed in black and took to calling themselves "The Black Team."

They haven't, and they're not.
For those of you that find Bernstein's later work hard to parse, I highly recommend his first symphony, written before his own style was fully developed. It's like an extended essay about everything he likes about Mahler. His recordings of Mahler's work are often criticised for not being faithful to the intent of the composer, but that's to completely miss the point: they're deliberately and wonderfully interpretive.

I wouldn't be so sure West Side Story is going to outlast Mahler 5, though. They might tie...
The North East of Scotland has a particularly "interesting" dialect - things like "Fit like ma loon?"

I'd love to know where the terms "loons" and "quines" for boys and girls came from.

It's a sair fecht.
Interesting. I haven't even thought to look for reviews on Facebook. I have found nextdoor.com useful for finding service professionals.

For local restaurants, eh, I just visit them once. What I'm looking for in a restaurant seems to vary too much from what folks who leave reviews are looking for. e.g, some folks really care about how long it takes their meal to arrive or the quality of the service. To me, the quality and consistency of the meal is most important, so I'll forgive a slow kitchen or an occasional bad server or server having a bad day. Also, as they say, there's no accounting for some people's taste. :-)
Only if the whole party doesn't die, which would almost certainly happen because Mars has the small problem of not supporting life. Also, family trees grow by merging, and ain't nobody on mars.
> Because if that's the case, that clearly warrants a few lawsuits about wage discrimination in American companies.

Interesting. Could you detail out this a bit more, legally? I'd like to know the specific law which makes this "discrimination" illegal.
Well said. Worst UX I've ever seen, with the most ardent corporate fanbase.*

There is no "litote". "Litotes" is not a plural noun.
Yeah I am still using a Q6600 in the recording PC in my rehearsal room / home studio.

Great CPU - still running and more than fast enough for my recording needs (maximum 16 tracks per take - about 20 tracks per song)
I'm sure limitations on liability is a heavily legislated and litigated area of law. I have no idea about the details, and am thus am not supporting any particular position, merely relaying some info.

I don't think engineers are being prosecuted for criminal negligence in cases like this - rather, the firms have civil liability. As far as holding politicians personally liable, they can be prosecuted if they break the law. Other than that, I envision it would be chaos if individuals could sue politicians for how they do their job.
It depends on the stepping of the ES chip - in the case of the 2650v3 there's an M0 stepping... and an M1 which is the same die as the production version.

How will you collect and deliver? Are you going to rely on another service provider? Or are you going to have mobile repair units?
... converse opinion, running a dev shop you want off the shelf "plug it in and go" options for developer machines. If we see significant advantages in general workflow (compiling, VM's, unit testing etc) with Ryzen at a compelling price point you can be sure we'll spec all new workstations with Ryzens once the OEM's get a solid "out of the box" solution.

We recently built an 8 core machine for a project for "how far could we push some multi-threaded" workload. The "out of the box" workstation's with 8 cores, at least in NZ, were staggeringly expensive. We managed to knock about 1/3rd to 1/2 off the price by a build our own solution but that's not workable for general purpose machines.

Early indicators for certain types of workflow, Ryzen is a blazingly fast platform at a very attractive price point.
It looks like it's more based on the new bibucket UX.
not what I see.
I don't trust Lenovo anymore. Far too many shenanigans like these from them. It wouldn't surprise me if they do it on purpose for the Chinese government. Also, the last Lenovo I bought, kind of fell apart in 2 years, so there's that, too.
Nice. This comes in handy. Would highlight more the actual link to copy and paste. Took me couple of seconds to find it in between the two ads which were in similar color.
If you're ever in Raleigh, NC, you'll find the best Mediterranean (specifically Lebanese) at Neomonde/Sitti/Sassool (they are all owned by the same family[1]). In my mind, Neomonde is a local treasure.

> I would follow ETH only because it's backed by the original developers. The reversion happened only because member(s) of Ethereum Foundation personally invested in DAO, so they easily could and did push hard at the root (devs).

The much bigger problem was that they didn't want anybody to control 14% of all ETH with the switch of PoS on the horizon. This was IMO the most pressing issue. That people got their ETH back (well, those who didn't panic sell) was a nice side-effect which convinced people to follow the ETH chain.

> Even with all that, there's no certainty that another big mistake will be reverted by devs' will or even be technically possible having to deal with Turing completeness and zk-SNARKs "soon (TM)".

Yeah, only because of some quirks on how TheDAO is implemented, it could be resolved that way. In slightly different circumstances, a fix won't be possible.
That's right. You need to interview with the team you want to move to.

I don't think it's ridiculous. After all, different teams may have different hiring bars and specific skills you have to be proficient on.
I've booted Windows 10 from it on an ASRock E3V5 Gaming/OC motherboard, and haven't found anything in its behavior that seems to be non-standard (except that my first one died, but that doesn't seem to have been related to my test of it as a boot drive). Intel hasn't mentioned it being unusual that I was able to boot from it.

What kind of system configurations have you found to cause problems? I wouldn't be surprised to see the NVMe remapping feature of Intel's chipsets get in the way, but that can be disabled on virtually all systems that have the feature.

As a side note, I saw someone on facebook sniping a dell m905 blade in some NY depot for less than a 100$ the thing came with 4 AMD cpus and loads of ram (maybe 64GB).

It's neither recent or pristine, but having a slim 4C/64GB thing at that price is worth considering.. no more rpi clusters :p
Simplified Common Lisp reference
Many people wrote that ME was a potential vulnerability and backdoor along the years. Russia and China have been designing some CPUs for a while even if they are not at the same level of Intel and AMD yet. I remember Russia's Baikal (MIPS and ARM), China's Longsoon (MIPS family) and some ARM chips. I wonder if they planned those chips with national security considerations in mind.

The current trend of blocking some Internet services with country level firewalls could be another way to protect from remote attacks. At least spies should spy from within the country as in the old times. They could see the other effects as bonuses (political control, protection of local companies) and being large countries thay maybe don't care much about the consequences of a slowed down information flow.
Sure, I agree, though it's clear Elon has made a career out of the thin reeds.

Also, if they don't do it now, it's obvious they are working on it / thinking about it. Wait five years.
I second this. I build PC with Ryzen 1500X + GTX1070 and it works flawlessly with TensorFflow and Torch7.
That kind of defeats the purpose of a software manager, doesn't it?
I'm not so sure about that. A lot of people are not completely comfortable with Facebook using their data and I think a substantial number of people might be willing to pay, not primarily to get rid of ads but to have a sense of privacy. If they get rid of ads that a nice bonus. Saying it's never going to happen is like saying that people will never pay for music online. A lot of people believed that to be true just a couple of years ago and yet ...

Yeah I'm in. Just let me buy the darn thing :P I was so excited for the Talos Secure Workstation but then it was underfunded on it's campaign.

I think I saw some OpenPOWER machines on IBM's website, but all the distributors have stopped selling them. Seems impossible to get hold of an OpenPOWER motherboard :( But yeah as soon as I can buy one I'm getting one to try it out.

Mind you does Linux even compile on it yet?
If you are willing to fork Lua (and it's been done---one example is Ravi, which brings static typing) you can fix the verbose lambda syntax (http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2017-04/msg00387.html) and add ternary operators (which I haven't missed). I haven't found the mixing of arrays and dictionaries that bad in practice (and I do a lot of Lua programming at work) and the default scoping ... yeah, I can see that (I've learned to deal).

Grep and awk were a new thing decades ago. I expected we knew better now, but, it seems, we are doomed to ignore the past and go reinventing (and then having to fix) our own square wheels.
just like the 10x CEO. They just make the right decisions and hence are compensated accordingly.

Companies like MS and google have sufficient data to tell us whether the 10x programmer is a meaningful term.
Worse than the Hackintosh users, Apple have just about lost me completely to Windows.

Apple held my attention for years because I need Adobe software and prefer a Unix enviroment. I'm pretty happy using using a Windows 10 desktop with Windows Subsystem for Linux now. My workflow is pretty much the same as it is my MacBook now. So much so that I'd probably do the same with my next laptop.
While this may be true for linear programming, is it true for integer linear programming or binary integer programming, which one would presumably use to model Soduku? The Wikipedia article you posted claims that integer programming problems are NP-hard.

> If all of the unknown variables are required to be integers, then the problem is called an integer programming (IP) or integer linear programming (ILP) problem. In contrast to linear programming, which can be solved efficiently in the worst case, integer programming problems are in many practical situations (those with bounded variables) NP-hard. 0-1 integer programming or binary integer programming (BIP) is the special case of integer programming where variables are required to be 0 or 1 (rather than arbitrary integers). This problem is also classified as NP-hard, and in fact the decision version was one of Karp's 21 NP-complete problems.

Here is an article on the topic of "Binary and Mixed Integer Programming" which explains part of the Balas Additive Algorithm (infeasibility pruning, I believe) in terms of backtracking:

> At this point, both of the nodes just created are not eligible for further expansion, so we back up the tree, looking for a level at which one of the nodes is unexplored.

http://www.sce.carleton.ca/faculty/chinneck/po/Chapter13.pdf

Another paper describes a method by Glover characterized as "A backtracking procedure for implicit enumeration".

> A particularization of the procedure based on Balas' algorithm. In S2 we presented and justified a flexible and economical back-tracking procedure for finding an optimal feasible solution of (P) by implicit enumeration.

See Figure 1 on page 182 (or page 6 in the PDF):

http://www.anderson.ucla.edu/faculty/art.geoffrion/home/docs...

This branch of mathematics is not my forte however, so if I've misunderstood then I'd appreciate clarification. It seems like the algorithm is not backtracking in the sense of generating possible solutions and checking them, but is backtracking in the sense of fathoming which next cheapest (partial) solution might be feasible, and abandoning it if proven to be definitely infeasible, in favor of examining the (then) next cheapest potential solution.

Finally, see the following paper that compares and contrasts Constraint Programming with Integer Programming, and characterizes both of them as instances of Tree Search:

Many gets frustrated about comparing what they currently doing and what their dream. But, we are humans and we are capable of managing multiple things, so better stop thinking about current situation and start doing something which you like along with current things (Sometime current things are inevitable). If you are really passionate about doing what you love, you will definitely reach your destination.

No. CORBA tried to make remote objects look and behave like local objects, which was a deadly mistake. Cap'n Proto does not attempt to hide the network, but rather offers tools to work with it (e.g. the aforementioned promise pipelining).

Well, if not propaganda, at least ambiguous, yeah.

But I do get your point, at this stage it's still a smaller percentage of people who care vs those who don't. But if they capture this market early, couldn't they secure their business for the next X years?

[...] They studied professional programmers with an average of 7 years' experience and found that the ratio of initial coding time between the best and worst programmers was about 20 to 1

I thought the perceived idea about the 10x developer was that he/she is 10x better than the average programmer, not the worst.

So even this scientific study (from the 60s) says that there aren't 10x developers according to this definition: the ratio goes down to sqrt(20), using the geometric mean, if a good-enough sample was chosen. Program size and program execution speed would put that ratio to sqrt(5) and sqrt(10), respectively.
