As the above comment states, confidence. Confidence is everything. It's hard to detect a confident liar without serious equipment and verification.

If it's hard, make up an appropriate story beforehand and rehearse it until it is second nature and you believe it yourself.

It depends. You can store 4TB on single HDD, but reading and processing it can take many hours, so you may want big data stack to have your task paralleled.

Yet there are still meaningful distinctions that can be made.

For examples, it is easy to identify very key differences between Facebook and HN.
Tne author needs to read up on closure conversion [0]. What's described here (a transformation on the generated opcodes) sounds like a real mess -- hard to write, hard to maintain, and probably wrong in some cases. Time to be brutal, rip it out, and start over the right way. Forcing oneself to do that when necessary will definitely make one a better programmer.

thank you for yanking the words out of my mouth, thank you for restoring some of my faith in humanity, this comment just fucking rocks!

I've been extremely depressed about this whole 'thing' you described and I wasn't really able to pin it on a paragraph or thought. When I read your comment I literally saved it and said to myself "there are people out there that think like me, i am not alone."

Thank you. I don't know if I'm not sounding rational but I just really wanted to acknowledge your comment. keep at it.

My point is:

> This trope of jumping immediately to the problem of false accusations is sadly common in discussions e.g. of rape reporting. Yes, some reports of rape (and harassment) are untrue. The vast majority aren't. Jumping so quickly, as many comments here have, to considering effects of fake reports is wildly disrespectful of the (largely female, and thus underrepresented here and at places like Google) victims, and is part of the reason that rape and sexual assault go underreported.
So the V in MVP stands for "true Scotsman"?
> If you have a guilty conscience that is going to manifest itself in your body language and mannerisms.

More than once, the customs officer has asked me "you don't look people in the eye, do you?" I just say, "no, I don't." (They're apparently happy with that answer.)

So you can be questioned without having a guilty conscience; I just look down a lot.
As a senior dev my role is to stay away from doing those tasks as much as possible. Well functioning organizations do not keep senior devs to do the stuff that junior devs can.
My first task at a new team is to have a 1:1 with my manager to set our relationship properly and this includes laying out all expectations.
Typically managers understand that it takes some time to get productive. Do not waste that time by doing tasks that do not increase your productivity. You should be learning the codebase, the development process, etc.
Fixing bugs is one way to do it, but not necessarily the best. You may easily spend a lot of time on this, not gain much insight and actually not make a good impression as your colleague with much more experience will do it in 1/10th of the time.
Also, starting on the right foot with the team is also important for your future productivity so it may be necessary to do some of those tasks anyway, but always remember that at the beginning your job is to build a good base for your future work.
100M people have downloaded apps I wrote. I know all about the issues with iCloud.

But as a web service that underpins so much of iOS it is still on a scale and complexity that rivals anything Google and Facebook has. Apple doesn't get enough credit for actually make this work on a daily basis.

Is this a common writing technique? It reminds me of those fake interviews on radio stations with pre-recorded answers 100 DJs get to use to pretend they got to talk to Tom Cruise.
Different problem spaces call for different solutions. Many of the problems programmers at medium-large companies face in practise are problems of communication, coordination, consistency, and code organisation.

So the question to ask is whether your code is having the impact like that which it should. Does this code make you (and/or your employer) enough money? Does it have enough impact on the world, if you are not doing it for money? If so, then you are righteous in this course of action. Otherwise, there may be a risk that you're That Guy who thinks he's all that but isn't and ends up on thedailywtf.com. We really can't tell from here :)

Most of the things you complain about are tools for helping a team (or a community) work together. If you do not do that, and instead produce software in isolation, you may in fact have no need for practices like code review. You may also have a reduced need for unit tests. It depends on your product's lifecycle and complexity.

Myself, I'm working at a payments service provider moving <BIG> amount of other peoples' money daily. We have unit tests. We have code reviews. We try not to break our stuff.

(That said, choice-of-language whining on a project that's not yours is almost always unalterably lame.)
Your argument is I think from their playbook. They claim the same with their constitution. We hear it is being violated. Government asserts there is in fact a debate amongst experts on whehter this really happens. Then we look into that and there indeed is a handful of professors arguing for the government versus whole faculties of law issuing condemnations together with every bar association and the judges.

In this case I've heard that major opinion for the government was prepared by an forestry expert whose lifelong expertise is in chainsaw mechanics with no standing in biology community, whereas Nature regularly publishes alarmed letters from experts in actual ecology of outbreaks.

This is not a hard error to identify (seems like one that's harder to make, if Uber employs qualified accountants), and given the number of Uber drivers who carefully and calculatingly join Uber as a way to become financially independent, it's hard to believe that no one discovered the problem and then complained. But maybe someone inside Uber felt more confident in prioritizing this issue after the public shitshow that Uber has been eating this past few months.

It feels like the constraints/expectations we face building in 2017 are different from those of 2004 (when Rails was created) or 2005 (when Django was created). Both of these predate the iphone (launched in 2007) and the dominance of mobile, as well as stuff like Websockets (2011), 12 factor, immutable infrastructure, distributed systems...

It feels extremely unlikely that that if we decided to design a framework with these things in mind we would end up with something that looks like Rails or Django (or some other RESTish/MVC thing), and yet somehow these are the things we overwhelmingly use and recommend.
It's not an apologetic argument for slavery.

In my mind, I'm making a distinction for a very real reason -- to say that, e.g., freedom of speech is a universal human right explicitly whitewashes over the fact that a tremendous number of people are deprived of that right.

What I want to make very explicit in the language I use is the idea that you have only the rights that you can reasonably pursue your daily life comfortably exercising. I find slavery abhorrent, as does pretty much everyone. Which is why I don't want to pretend like the problem just doesn't exist anymore, because after all, everyone unambiguously has the right to an existence free from slavery. They absolutely don't. There are plenty of people who can point to that idea as a travesty.

There's no specific number of people they need to convince otherwise to gain that right. They need to exist in a governmental, societal, political system that demands that that right be conferred on them. Until that happens, they don't have it and we shouldn't be saying otherwise.
As far as I can tell, it's run for employees by employees. If it ever starts doing more harm than good, it will just stop. People have to want to submit and want to read it.

So I don't see this as management sponsored spying, just employees wanting more transparency. To highlight what actually goes on.

I believe the point with the 'usually' was that the only one who had been named was Eric Schmidt from a open meeting.

I don't understand why engineers tend to care so little about the quality of their clothes

Virtue signaling. It says you're focused on your intellectual pursuits rather than material things (in contrast to 'the suits'). This is actually great from a hiring manager's point of view, because you can also guess (guess, not know) from someone's appearance whether they are single and to what degree they take care of themselves, while will in turn give an idea of how much work you can pile onto them before they figure it out or change their personality.

For those who don't 'get' clothes (as a former sufferer): you may not be able to readily distinguish expensive clothes from cheap ones, or see the point of wearing them. But other people do, and if you look like money, you will be able to get more money in negotiations. If you look or say that you don't care about such things, you'll get lots of affirmation and less money, because affirmation is virtually free.

There's also a kind of signaling by people who are rich enough not to care about these things and dress accordingly, which is a way of reminding other people that you have so much money you don't care about what impression you make. This only works when people already know you're wealthy, though.
My first thought upon reading this was: This looks cool, I wonder how long it will take until they kill it. I wonder if I'm alone with this gut reaction?
Uber drivers could go on strike from Uber and still earn by driving for LYFT. They could demand what ever they want.
> The trouble with statements like 'for the average xyz user' is:
1. 50% of your users won't have their needs met

Oh come on. You know what's meant: no nerds. That's 99% of users who'll have their needs met, not 50%.
I think you're both right and wrong.

Uber is better than taxis for riders, and worse than taxis (in some ways) for drivers.

Also consider that some Uber drivers couldn't realistically become taxi drivers in their spare time, and perhaps some of them would prefer to be underpaid by Uber rather than not working at all.
> given a genetic sample of an individual it is totally predictable what their eye color will be based on examining their genes. I don't see how this is begging the question.

Right, this is what I suspected you may have been saying. I think we were talking past each other a bit.

I still don't think it makes much sense to challenge someone who says "X is a random variable" by saying "that's not remotely true, X is not a random variable if you condition on the probabilistic component of X". Well, duh.
Not only that, but I assume it needs it to run as well, since it seems to be implemented in Python.
If you understand the graph traversal algorithms in question, there's nothing to memorize. You can just think through the problems. Is it important to understand graph traversal algos? I don't think it is for everyone. But a lot of people who like CS find it interesting. And if you work on, say, a web crawler or a game AI, then you'll need them.
It would not be abhorrent if it were the only source of income for Uber, which would basically be earning the bid-ask spread.

Adding fees on top of that, though...
You call yourself a "rationalist", but even a rationalist would know that spray-on pheromones are junk science at best.
I'm sure you aren't alone, but i'm getting very tired of this comment appearing on every single google product or feature announcement. It's not interesting or insightful, it adds nothing to the discussion other than cliched whining.
I had the same experience. I wonder if it was the popular resurgence of the button fly that led to the zippers getting shortened.
I think you'd have better luck with potassium salt, but trying different things out is the fun part.
Unfortunately, my friends on management positions say that they favor youth. Young devs lack experience and foresight, so ran into a lot of problems, but they cover all of that by working 18/7 and bringing sleeping bags to office.
so I'm sure now that you're not understanding my point, which is that implementing a system that facilitates false accusations does significant harm and does not remedy the real actual problem of under-reporting to legal authorities.

a victim of a crime should make a criminal complaint, and if he or she doesn't, then we should attempt to discover the reasons why not.

however, anonymously accusing people of misconduct does absolutely nothing to assist those who have been wronged. it has significant potential for harm and creates a chilling effect and a culture of paranoia.

what is the supposed benefit of anonymous accusations? is this intended to mitigate against future misconduct? why do you suppose it will accomplish that? my intuition on this is that those who are legitimately abusive will continue to be abusive (because they are already insensitive and not caring about how their actions impact others) and those that are only accidentally committing transgressions will now be subjected to ostracism because they could not adequately predict how their actions made in good faith will be perceived by others.

additionally, let's consider the principles of due process and justice described in the U.S. constitution. the right to face your accuser. the right to expedient arbitration. the right to representation. the right to defend yourself without being presumed guilty. all of these principles of justice are lost with an anonymous accusation mailing list.
A systems administrator downloads a random zip file and a password cracker onto his work computer, when he works for the Department of Energy, gets caught and fired. The first part of the article is surprising only in that he found it so easy to get a good job in finance afterwards.

To be honest I'm not entirely sure what the point of the article is at all. He freely admits that the FBI had cause to be suspicious about his travel to Iceland, it coincided with a massive breach of information and he definitely fit the bill to warrant investigation. He and his associates all were afforded the right to counsel etc, in terms of US law enforcement stories this is more of an example of how things should be done within the context of the law as it stands.
Curation does seem to be the key.
Imagine if Trump were competent (but still disinterested in people and mostly focused on self aggrandizement and accumulation of wealth and power).
Yes, I strongly believe that this has been one of the strongest drivers of tech fads since at least 2010. People want to be like Google, so they copy Google. They don't understand that Google probably would've loved to be able to make the thing work with Oracle v. spending years developing their own internal systems, but the unique problem space put them at the disadvantage of needing to use a completely custom solution.

Google publishes an academic paper on this and the general public misinterprets it as a recommendation. Soon you see people writing open-source implementations "based on the GoogleThing Paper", and a new tech fad is born. It will consume billions of dollars before it dies in favor of another fad "based on the FacebookThing/TheNextGoogleThing Paper".

Walk up to most business guys and they will jump at the chance to "become more like Google". Try to talk them down from this, and your challenge is to convince that no, we don't want to be more like one of the most important and influential technology companies in the world, the company that's on the news every day, and whose logo he sees every time he looks at his phone, and the company who keeps taking all of the best hires from the universities. Worse, you'll be making that argument because "we're just not as big [read: important] as them". Not a promising position for the reasonable engineer.

This has been a terrible blight on our profession these last several years, but we just have to learn to roll with it. It's only by understanding and accepting the psychology around this that we can formulate effective counterstrategies, or make the best of the situation that's before us.
Patriarchy is not 100% beneficial to men, that's true. I'll agree with my sibling comment that men do hang out on the internet talking burrito shits. I'll point to reddit, or garage journal, or advrider or any number of gun sites' off-topic sections.

These gendered modes of behavior you're complaining about are symptoms of the patriarchy; they are some of the few easy ways to reclaim a bit of personal power. They are not, however, woman-specific. I've known men that act dumb on purpose for help, I've known men that have never grown up and I know conflict averse men. Conflict aversion rarely causes a person to pay a price, beyond a greater likely-hood of losing the conflict. The only woman-specific aspect to your complaint is the language you use to describe it.

It is sufficiently harmful to women that they are collectively motivated to form political groups to do something about it, despite a relatively high cost (compared to do nothing) for doing so.

I'm not sure which halls of power you're talking about. Certainly not political halls of power. I assume you're talking about cultural halls of power, like, say, Jezebel or the NYT? I think loudly defending certain strains of feminism is a class marker, but I don't think the defense translates into action that makes a difference beyond mildly offending people such as yourself.

It looks like what you would prefer is for women to gain equality by not talking about their problems, not organizing to solve their problems and not acting in ways that have feminine descriptors. I rather doubt that is possible.

From those numbers it seems like if the $300-400 pair lasts 10-15 years and you have a low personal discount rate they would be worth the cost.

You might expect it to quit immediately, but most Vim users don't (for example I have a habit of using Ctrl-C to exit insert mode). When you travel to a foreign country you shouldn't expect everybody to speak your language.
Same way I came to it. It's exactly what it claims to be, nothing more or less, and it does what it does very well.
Yeah, the content itself might not always be available, the only guarantee is that if that content exists, you'll get exactly that. If the content is not available, you get nothing.

So the links themselves are immutable but the content might not be available.
The Jamboard is a collaborative whiteboard that costs $5k for a 4k 55" screen plus $600/year ($300/year for early adopters). It's similar to Microsoft's Surface Hub[1], Cisco's Spark Board[2] and SMART Technologies SmartBoard[3].

Pricing seems about normal for products in this space, even a little low. I'd think that the big question that anyone considering buying this should be asking is around Google's history with hardware support and service. This kind of product will often be expected to be used for 5+ years and the dependency of a non-core service from Google could affect that.

As I'm looking to purchase one of the products in this space, here is a little more comparison info in case anyone else finds it useful. Only Google will sell you one of their devices, everyone else goes through resellers with opaque pricing and unpublished RRPs.

Microsoft Surface Hub 55": 1920x1080 @120Hz, 4th Generation i5, Intel HD 4600, 2x HD cameras. Windows 10 + MS Office

Microsoft Surface Hub 85" 3840x2160 @120Hz, 4th generation i7, NVIDIA Quadro K2200, 2x HD cameras. Windows 10 + MS Office

Cisco Spark Board 55": 4k (4096x2160?) display, unknown hardware and software, 4k camera. Cisco Spark and SIP protocols supported, requires Cisco Collaboration Cloud service.

Cisco Spark Board 70": same as 55"

SMART Board 8055i 55"/8065i 65"/8084i 84": 3840x2160, 4k available. Doesn't seem to have cameras for videoconferencing, comes with SMART Meeting Pro 4.0 software to "collaborate in the 4th dimension", whatever that means.

Google Jamboard 55: 55" 4k (4096x2160?) @60Hz. Unknown hardware, software probably Android? Costs $5000. Requires Google's G-Suite subscription, uses Hangouts and $600/year annual management and support fee. EOL is May 2021

Deer cannot see at 1550 nm. I'm not aware of any mammals that can.
Weelll. The problem is that the "quit" command has an insert mode key in it. So it's quite possible to get stuck like a poster above says- enter macro recording, then insert mode, then write the letter "t".

On the other hand that only happens if you type "quit" without the colon and the message makes it very clear that the colon is part of the text you must enter:

Type :quit<Enter> to exit Vim

See all that whitespace? It's very hard to think the colon goes to the "Type" bit.

So you can get stuck in a dubm situation but it's not terribly easy.
"It is also the poorest paid job in the country, with some sheepherders still earning around $750 a month; with their long hours of work, that amounts to about a dollar an hour."

How many Americans are willing to work for this type of wage in these conditions? My guess would be zero.
There's certainly a trade-off between learning curve and long-term productivity. But the problem here is that vi/m gives shitty feedback, that's all. It should say "Press <ESC> and type :quit<Enter> to quit VIM" but it doesn't. Most first-time users lack a mental model of input modes, so they get stuck.
