I think that, for junior positions, I am more interested in hearing about passion for the craft of software development, and for someone who is excited to learn new things. To exhibit that, I'd expect one to be able to talk about new technologies they've been working with, things that they enjoy about said tech, and projects that they've been working on to help them learn and grow.

For interviewing for the remote jobs specifically, as an interviewer I recommend the following: Do everything you can to be in the most quiet environment possible. Do everything that you can to have the best internet connection possible. Got roommates? Ask them to not be home. Have a couple pandora streams going around the house for ambience? Shut them off, they're a waste of bandwidth. Next, you may be asked to share your screen at some point. Clear everything remotely offensive or even noteworthy. Don't have a model posing on a sports car as your background image, don't have a bunch of links to porn sites or torrent sites or whatever in your favorites bar on your browser, and no hugely cluttered messes of files with crazy file names, etc. Last, kill all the distractions: shut off your phone, smart watch, and kill all of the background IM notifications on your computer.

Good luck!

How much Symbian development have you done?

I used to work for that little finish company.

Many small companies were doing J2ME on Symbian as a way to write portable code across multiple devices.

As for the Series 30+, the MRE was a market failure, never reaching a fraction of J2ME, Mediatek doesn't even support the SDK anymore.
>> the key to staying married is having two people who are committed to staying married

This is all it is. Too many people focus on instant gratification and short-term expectations. Most failed marriages (well, long-term relationships in general) happen due to boredom and the inventing of excuses to be unhappy, simply because the honeymoon period is over. Well guess what? If you give up on one relationship because it got "boring", you're in for a wake up call when that becomes the case with every subsequent relationship.

Barring exceptions such as abusive relationships, the grass will not be greener on the other side with a new relationship. The grass will become the same shade of green you already had. The path to success is learning how to fertilize the grass you already have, instead of replacing the grass every time it starts to turn brown.

Dragon is barely capable of landing on the moon if you remove the heat shield and replace it with more fuel and fit additional fuel storage in the capsule. Its powered descents on Mars would only be possible because of atmospheric drag.
Except who would fund this non-profit?
I am pretty sure it does.

I also have seen this happen with others, and have met girls who were able to recognize the "depressed and lonely programmer" pattern themselves through many similar dates (of course over dating apps) they had.

Also, it seems only logical that a totally male-dominated lonely and addictive profession that usually encourages and/or requires a lot of dedication even outside of worktime would produce a bunch of solitary men. (And maybe _attract_ a bunch of others.)
Hmmm. If this hypothesis held up, you'd want to factor it into the Drake Equation. Number of systems that didn't cross some threshold of intensity or frequency of arm crossing events that could cause mass extinctions often enough to make intelligent life impossible to develop.

Or something like that.

Understanding Node.js Event-Driven Architecture
I'm not sure describing the space shuttle as 'fragile' really does it justice. The ceramic tile system was fragile, but the requirement for the tiles came from the required re-entry mass, which included carrying down a full payload bay as well as the astronauts. That was imposed on the system as a military requirement (the rumor is that the Military wanted to be able to potentially snag a satellite and return it to earth). The X-37B has significantly less mass coming down, so much less energy to dissipate, and so less heat generated. Enough less that a spray on thermal coating over titanium is sufficient (at least according to the Air & Space article I read on it).

I thought the link to the x-37c was interesting but I can't find anything that suggests it is anything more than a proposal at this point.

Hong Kong and China has a similar restrictions or tax on non-citizens who attempt to buy property in China. China in fact disallows non-residents from purchasing real estate until they've lived there for a certain period of time.

I'll be curious as to see how this affects Vancouver real estate prices. Right now it doesn't seem to have had a huge effect, but if the market crashes, it will be very interesting to watch to see how it ends up. Real estate there has been going straight up for so long, it's a way of life for 2 generations who have never seen a major crash. I wonder if the market does crash, it will shake out the way the dotcom bust did, where people kept buying because they thought "it's on sale" but it never reached a bottom until so many people lost so much money.
There's an old saying that springs to mind here.. "When all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail." While it might be easier to deploy everything using the same technology, it's rarely a good idea. It's expensive, wasteful, and potentially a lot worse than the alternatives.

> As it happens, the worst 1% of counties have about 19% of the population but about 37% of the murders, so it's not just that these counties are more heavily populated. They really are more dangerous.

Urban areas with higher population densities have higher crime. Fact of life. Rub people together more often and they'll cross each other more often.

In any case, when 1% of the counties hold 1 in 5 members of the public, it's a gross mischaracterisation to call them 'a very, very, very small portion of the United States'
Yeah, so what ends up happening is sooner or later one ends up pulling dating partners from eccentric and probably unhealthy places. And the ones most willing to engage have their own reasons for seeking out a lonely programmer.

One can find great partners in such places, but it's really a spin of the Roulette wheel. They lack the proven characteristics of partners from healthy and likeminded peer groups. And they're likely to have fallen off the back of the wagon for their own reasons—sometimes good, but quite often, bad.
I never understood the people who argue for indefinite life extension. Imagine a world with essentially no children. No generation of young adults growing up and spurring change in the world. I think it would not just take away a crucial part of the human experience, but our entire economic system would collapse. There's just too much of it tied into the constant churn of people.

(Of course, you might imagine indefinite life extension springing into existence only after we've started rapid colonisation of space; a pipe dream if I ever saw one. Even then, Earth would still be holden to what I describe.)

In two-three generations, most everyone alive in the countries where life extension was widely adopted would be old farts that didn't want to take up much further debt, with few new ideas and not much drive left in them. "Science advances one funeral at a time", as do many other fields key to human progress.

Meanwhile, the countries too poor to see mass adoption of life extension would out-grow and out-innovate our collective asses faster than you can say "collapse of Western civilisation".

So you'd live forever, but in increasing poverty (due the countries that produce most of the things you buy having much higher growth than yours) in a stagnant, crumbling society.

If we were to invent indefinite life extension that was affordable beyond the 0.1%, I think it would be the ultimate tragedy of the commons.
I believe a few of the mass extinctions are thought to have been caused by gamma ray bursts (GRBs) that were close enough to earth to either affect the atmosphere or the orgamisms on the surface.
There were several implementations of that idea in the early 1980s. The following paper describes one of them.

Wikipedia seems to imply that the plan for Red Dragon is a direct atmospheric entry. It makes sense, they don't have a second stage that would last long enough to get there. They don't have the delta-V to get the second stage into a mars transfer with a huge amount of fuel and I doubt there's much utility in spending the 2.3km/s (or thereabouts) of delta-v in getting from the Mars transfer to a low Mars orbit when you can just use aerobraking instead. In fact, it would be highly abnormal for a probe to visit Mars orbit before landing.
I can't find a source at the moment, but I'm pretty sure that Guido said that python 4.0 would just be the version number that comes after python 3.9. There is no intention of having another break in backwards compatibility, like there was between python 2 and 3.

Rails was a massive innovation [1] because making a CRUD webapp in other contemporary mainstream environments, like Struts, ASP, PHP4, or fresh PHP5, was either unnecessarily repetitive, or filled with having to tinker with external config files that bootstrapped the frameworks and taught the stack how to map the incoming http requests to transactions in your database.

Sinatra was something else entirely; it was a REST router DSL. The two are not, and never were directly comparable, except in the sense that they came up as good answers when someone asked "How do I make a web-exposed application with Ruby?". It's unfortunate how often they're compared, when they were both revolutionary in their respective categories, and both went on to inspire many other frameworks in other languages that borrowed their ideas.

I think one of the compromises being inadequately discussed so far in these threads is that people sometimes need to realize they are holding onto a personal identity or value system that has gone stale, and ruin relationships in the process.

I think that the process of letting go of attachments, in the spiritual sense, is really about internal desires and inflexibility in the individual. This can emerge as a toxic effect in all their relationships.

I'm sorry if this offends you and the person you replied to, but why are you committed to staying married for religious reasons?

Why are you not committed to staying married because you love your partner unconditionally and because they are your best friend that you love to spend time with?

It seems totally bizarre to me (being Atheist) to marry, and stay married, for religious reasons, or to believe that yourself is so special above all other people that God would help you.

I can understand people having faith in a higher power(s) and following traditions and beliefs, etc. But the bit that baffles me about these two comments is that your marriage sounds like it almost now only exists for religious reasons and you no longer love your partner for what ever reason that made you want to get married to begin with.
So how does this work and why does it make sense at all? I am assuming Chinese investors aren't getting citizenship just because of their real estate purchase. At least US laws require at least $1M investment ($500K for special projects) and most houses in Seattle are below that mark.

So now you as Chinese investor have an expensive property in a foreign country where you can't live permanently and very likely you have little information on purchase itself. Sure you can rent out using some management company and bet on appreciation but it's still a lot of risk considering you have little control and information over property management, local events and economics. Plus real estate markets have long history of downturns and non-liquidity in times when you need the most. Wouldn't buying S&P500 index or something for long term would be a far better investment choice? Or just REIT funds if you just want to bet on real estate? Or is there some hidden economics involved that we don't know of?

This a separate issue. It's not what the article is about.
I fully understand what you are trying to say, but I don't think the analogy given in the second sentence is enough. Let's assume that the hypothetical well-intentioned but biased programmer developing our sentencing algorithm is competent enough to only use a basic Gaussian model like you are suggesting if it REALLY fits the data well (yes, a model of central tendency is about as rudimentary as it gets, whereas SGD is used in most state-of-the-art ML research -- the stuff that is popularly known as "deep learning").

Here's a thought experiment for you then: Can you give an example of how one's decision to use gradient descent might impact a data-driven sentencing algorithm?

Or just in general? In contemporary machine learning, it is true that choosing "hyperparameters" is still pretty intuition-guided and based on trial-and-error (even "guessing" if you will).

I wouldn't think those choices could be made maliciously, or even in a "biased" way (okay, _maybe_ I could choose comically out-of-range, nonsensical values -- but that's really a stretch).

If anything, in a hypothetical world, I would feel comfortable letting the accused choose the provably-convergent machine learning algorithm and hyperparameter values of their wishes, and then that would be the sentencing model that is used to determine their fate. As you can see, I claim that their choices wouldn't be able to "bias" anything at all.

As has been true all along, I can certainly see how the _dataset_ could be biased, but I claim that the choice of hyperparameters (and even the algorithm itself) is quite a bit more "immune" to human biases. For one thing, we aren't even capable of fully understanding the learned models produced by state-of-the-art ML algorithms; they are effectively "black boxes."

Despite all of the downvotes, I am genuinely interested in continuing this discussion, and I am curious what you have to say so I will continue to spend more of my karma expressing and arguing for my (unpopular) views.
Let's say we ban development of self-driving cars since the algos can't be explained.

That's a false dilemma since it's by no means proven that the algos CAN'T be explained - just that we don't know how to extract the explanation from the model yet. It's entirely reasonable to suspend real-world use until the maths catches up.

Sure, that's true, and I bet a Down-Syndrome-recognizing neural net could be made quite accurate. I guess what I mean to say is that there's no general mechanism that would cause someone's inner character to be reflected in their appearance in any consistent way. If you want to predict behavior from appearance, you have to actually do the science and prove that there's an underlying mechanism before you can trust that your neural net is recognizing something meaningful.

> The idea of a vacancy tax seems hard to apply while respecting people privacy.

There is support growing in Vancouver for a surtax based on property value that would be offset by income taxes, and wouldn't apply to those who are retired or on disability [1]. This would be collected from both foreigners who are underreporting their income as well as the idle rich, while also putting additional pressure on those leaving homes vacant to rent.

The idea is to renew the social contract, so that those who are working and contributing to the economy can enjoy the benefits of reasonably affordable housing.

When you encrypt the message, you are not exactly stringing people along wasting their time. When they say that they'll send a car to the inspector, they are tying up regulators' resources in order to sneak away. That's interfering with their work.

Now, the reality is that these inspectors don't need an explicit order to inspect you. If they did, then Uber should simply take these inspectors to court or claim that any evidence they found is inadmissible. Tying up their resources and getting away is beyond simply hiding something, it's purposefully diverting their resources somewhere else. If they simply didn't respond to regulators asking for a car, maybe you would have a point, but they're tying up these resources.
