Well, I like the 'no logo' and the open software features. The other stuff looks more or less like a normal flagship smartphone nowadays (yes I like the 360° camera too, but it is not essential). The things that I am missing:

- replaceable battery

- SD card slot

- wireless charging

Those three are all essential to the lifetime of the phone. Storage requirements may change, batteries and power connectors may wear off.

I still use my 5 old Samsung S3 which has all those features (with updated Software). While I am willing to pay for a newer model (better camera, faster processor, etc.), I can't find a phone that promises an equal longevity.
The cause and effect of poor leadership
> If you mean humans, we don't destroy our habitat.

Right, we only extinguish species after species living on this planet along with us. Mass genocide of hundreds of billions of living beings.
And why? Because there are only few humans that are comfortable with the idea that other species may be as important and capable as they are.

> Logically speaking, it would also be a mistake to dismiss every report of poor employee treatment where those selection biases apply.

Remarkable claims require remarkable evidence, claims that are made without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.

If a handful of people complain out of thousands and there is no hard evidence, then I see no reason not to just dismiss it.

This is very much a personal preference and not a culture/company thing. I've worked for companies with great work-life balance where some employees (including non-management) would check emails over the weekend or when on vacation. And I've worked for companies that had an expectation you check email on the weekends where some employees (including management) would not do anything over a holiday.
I was going to suggest system dynamics as it especially well suited for complex domains, and for simulating the results of policy changes.

Tools like Vensim and IThink are currently (commercially) available, and there are some open source tools that can do this. I think Berkeley Madonna is one, but I'm not entirely sure.
Pranks are a sign of trust. The trust bit is that you only use it for pranks and not any of the myriad other things you can actually do with a logged in computer. But the pranks should be a reminder they might just as well not have been a prank, and that you should bloody well lock your computer already.
any kind of numerical method (RKs, FDs, CN) where the n-th step a_n = f(a_(n-1)) and hence you define NUM_STEPS and the the result is a[NUM_STEPS] where a is your numerical lattice.

you could work in a 0-based index and your n-th step is a_(n-1) and so the final step is a[NUM_STEPS - 1]

in numerical analysis I don't believe i've ever cared that much about slicing. if i wanted to look at a single element in a matrix a_(ij), then I call the matrix a[i,j]. if you had to implement a pivoting algorithm then it's quite useful to call the pivot element a[i,j] and pivot row a[i,:]. i believe most devs would prefer not to have to call elements everytime a[i-1,j-1].

guessing most math guys have worked with both 0 and 1 systems and honestly don't care that much.
And Essential is going to change that and get more market share than Samsung or even Apple?

No mention of waterproofing, water resistance. That's the main thing I look for.
What factors make storytelling and film more taxing, deliver scripts on time, shoot the scene, video processing?
I'd think that fixing bugs on a tight schedule and delivering features would be more taxing? It depends on setting as well I presume.
I do not agree with the trend of disclosing income to recruiters. It can only serve to harm your prospects.

I know some people that are closer to retirement age who realize that they may not find a new job making what they were previously making before being laid off, and they are OK with that considering other factors. But recruiters are passing up on opportunities for them because they are trying to match numbers. The reality is that people take more than salary into consideration.

Looks like this article is dated a couple weeks ago, which surprised me in that the article neglects to mention the rather popular movement and trend of cities in the US making it illegal to ask for your current salary.

I believe it started with the state of Massachusetts in 2016, with Philadelphia and New York City following suit this year.

One can expect this trend may continue, and will make this question (and this post) somewhat obsolete.

I don't understand what you're trying to say. My point was that a $1k Threadripper would have absolutely destroyed Intel's 2016 lineup, but it'll merely be competitive with what was announced today.

If the top end SKU is more than $1k then I don't see it taking much of the market, due to the factors in my original post, factoring in the total cost of a machine and inertia greatly favoring Intel.
The "get a lawyer" advice gets tossed around workplace.stackexchange WAY TOO OFTEN and basically snubs discussion.

Getting a lawyer, at a minimum, means forking over a few hundred dollars just for some advice. Going beyond that we're talking hundreds to thousands more for the lawyer to merely write a letter. Going further beyond that, it then becomes the plantiff's "life work" to deal with the court system while paying many thousands to the lawyer for, AT BEST, an iffy outcome after months of drudgery, and yes, then face being effectively blacklisted in the local industry.

That said, there are some good reasons for people to get a lawyer but getting fired with a dirty trick (assuming the dubious story is even true) is rarely one of them.
Writing scripts itself is the most relaxing part of the job, it takes some concentration though.

Film and TV production is on a whole other level. Breaking down scripts for production schedule and framing everything within a budget and then talking to a lot of people where their job is to take your money and yours is to keep it. Then keeping track that everything is in order for production to take place and solving lots of last-minute crises, everything involving a lot of people. If it's a live TV type of situation or there's an oversight from larger production, stress gets amped up a lot. It's a busy hive, somewhat like an organised chaos where most of the work is handling people and being handled by people. That's production. Pre-production alone is, more or less, stress free process. That might be a direction to explore if you're art or organization oriented.

> it is perfectly ok to give your number, find out more about the role and then say the following: "I see. Well given what you've told me about the position, that's a bigger role than I was expecting when I gave you my initial number. Given that, I am going to raise my expectations with regards to compensation".

I have to believe that this kills the process at least as often as it works.
Why is this on HN? The top-voted comment here calls it fake, not a single comment adds anything substantial that wasn't written on SE. As far as I can tell it's just tabloidish voyeurism...
>In CIDER I have to mark my functions as debuggable before I can step into them - this is an odd requirement and a PITA when the functions are spread out through the codebase. It's so easy to accidentally commit a non-debuggable version as well.

When I'm connected to my repl, I often want to debug things I didn't mark as debuggable (hint: nothing is ever debuggable by default). I can jump to definition, toggle debugging, and then run some code (usually from a comment block or my scratch/user.clj (gets excluded by gitignore)). When I'm done, I can toggle it off or simply re-eval the function. In spacemacs, the normal mode binding for this is

I don't feel like I need to explain his motive for posting on SE since the original story doesn't address it either (since he's already fired and seems to have given up. Why is he posting is still an open question even if you believe the original story.)

Why he chose to post is a separate issue. People have any number of
motives for doing things, and what you believe to be reasonable explanations depends on how you think about human psychology. Personally I have seen enough people post lies online that I don't even worry about what the motives are anymore. I just look at what I think is more likely; is this story true or not? This story reeks to me. There's no way some unknown person resigned for him. Either he did it and regretted it or this whole story is made up. Both of those are way simpler than the claim that some unknown person logged into his secure email and that the company reacted so nonchalantly to him telling them he didn't do it. If someone hated him enough to write a fake resignation letter and risk their own career like that, he would know who it was.

Frankly it's one of the more obvious fake stories on HN in a while.
Well, I didn't say that clause ordering doesn't matter! Of course it matters. And yeah, left-recursion is a pain (because depth-first search etc). What I'm saying is that in principle this may be a problem for purists, but in practice it's no big deal.

I don't think it has much to do with experience, or at least you don't need to be an advanced user to be aware of how clause ordering affects your results. So, yes, you need to understand a few things about how the language works before you can program anything non-trivial, but that's true for any language, isn't it?

Critics, mostly in the past, latched on to the few niggling non-declarative impurities like this to write off the entire language as "not truly declarative" when there isn't really anything usable that's closer to the ideal. Talk about binary logic...

In my experience, it's much easier to suggest that some element of the comp package or expectations that wasn't salary (benefits contribution, 401k, options, PTO, work hours expectations, bonus) didn't align with your expectations instead of claiming the role was much more than anticipated.

Saying the role was bigger may also be received as the person being somewhat intimidated by the role, which doesn't instill confidence in the hiring firm.

New processors are not only 'faster' but also more energy efficient, which is an equally (or more) important thing especially now when we've reached high speeds even in basic (/cheap) smartphones. As long as they're not going backwards, I don't see a reason why these companies should not go with them.

Otoh twenty-seven years ago I spent a lot of time messing around with termcap and/or terminfo on various customer sites trying to get their terminals to display something other than gibberish.

It's no different than cleaning. Yes, it requires attention, but your attention can (and will) pass back and forth between active and passive. Evaluate, execute, evaluate, execute, with large parts of the execute phase being pure muscle memory (i.e., maintaining your speed and lane), during which you can pay attention to an audio book.

In a more programmer related parlance, you can't perform the most rigorous part of driving concurrently with paying attention to an audiobook, but you -can- task switch pretty easily. The driving is pre-emptive.

I didn't go to Google but I can relate to your story. Having reached CS courses after tens of thousands of hours programming was very enlightening. Indeed, the CS course layed down all my hands-on knowledge upon a very nice theoretical foundation. I clearly remember saying to myself "ahhh, all that what I've done so far, now i really get it". I had that feeling when studying algorithm performance (with math proofs) and when studying the Scheme programming language (with all the fun stuff : call/cc, tunks, curification, CPS, immutability, pure function, lazy evaluation,...) This + my hands-on knowledge made me a very enlightened dev :-)
This is why I think it should be mandatory for CS to use free software.
