The general impression in hiring is that staying current with software skills requires continual effort. I think the gap on your resumé should you leave the industry and later want to return will be a considerable self-imposed hurdle, and not easy to explain even if you get interviews, and you will likely struggle even harder than now. You are going to make your own decisions and far be it from me to tell you how to lead your life, but that's my honest opinion.

Maybe you can find a non-dev role where having development experience is extremely useful? For example, customer success/support on a SaaS product often is very difficult to fill with human to human contact employees who can diagnose front end bugs a customer might be seeing, run some data queries... stuff that would otherwise result in a long turnaround for an answer by putting in a support ticket with engineering. Support staff with technical chops are extremely hard to find and high value add in enterprise software. I think you can find something more productive that plays to your strengths horizontally in the types of orgs you have been working for instead of dropping in the hierarchy of industry skillsets altogether.

Hey, hey now, I am kindly asking a reasonable question, and I and others are raising reasonable concerns and now you started to slinging mud. Do you actually have any technical facts to substantiate your "as definitive as it gets" statement? Because slinging mud makes you look unreasonable in my eyes and I'd like to know what facts stand behind your argument.

I have used Surface pro 1, and I got too many problems such as keyboard's key is broken which I had to buy a new keyboard twice. The surface is totally freezed when I connected keyboard to it.

I again convinced myself that the Surface pro 3 is better so I bought it. Wow, some problems are:
- The top right of backside is extremely hot when I watch youtube.
- Again, the Alt btn of the surface pro 3 keyboard is broken.
- batter length is not as advertised.

Therefore, I wont never buy a new surface even if it is cheaper than macbook pro. I am saving money to buy a new macbook pro.
I'm in agreement, inasmuch as I hope management cares little for anything they believe doesn't touch the bottom line.

Would you prefer if management cared more about that, instead of the bottom line?
I have the same issue with the new Surface Pro: I run some VM's for robot automations (the environment is quite strict, that's why I need a VM) and 8GB is quite limiting, while the CPU does not matter, no need for an i7. Tough luck, I will not spend $2000+ just to have enough RAM, so I use the desktop (32GB) for solid work and a cheapo' laptop for portability. Too bad :(

But apparently they're not allowed to decide what works best for their project as far as bug reports.
Locking down files in the name of "security"; configs and logs. Everything containing even the most banal pieces of information.

The result? All our sysadmins marching around as root all day because it's the only way they can get any work done.

That’s just begging them to detain you for a day.

Yes, in the aggregate, gas taxes don't cover maintenance; but, as I said in points 1) and 2), the typical urban sedan driver is still overpaying since they cause virtually none of the maintenance costs (by percentage). (AIUI, any cab taxes exist to fund the regulatory costs, not the excess wear they're causing.)

Furthermore, the point under debate was whether Uber, as a cab[-like] service is underpaying for its road usage -- relative to the typical person -- by driving so much more; that point is still wrong because their per mile costs are unchanged with such higher usage.
So by this they're just throwing "let's see if we can run an arbitrage on the concept of price sensitivity itself" against a wall and see who will fund it?
I think it's worth having this discussion on posts about new Google products. This isn't AutoDraw, anyone considering spending this much money has to seriously weigh up the very significant risk of Google dropping support almost immediately. It has a real tangible effect on a business.

Personally if I ran a company I'd have a rule to not rely on anything by Google other than their largest core services (Drive, Android, Ads). Their history is just too bad at this point, and this product will almost certainly go the way of glass. I predict it's abandoned within the year.

From the employee perspective that makes sense. You articulate why they should be paid. But is that enough?

I think you have to reason about the other side of the equation, where someone has to pay you.

In a nutshell, uber is changing their business from charging a commission to acting more like a retailer: buy low (from drivers) and sell high (to passengers). The problem is that normally the two far ends of that transaction only ever interact with the middleman, but here they're literally sitting in the same car. Hard for both the buyer and seller not to feel (justifiably) ripped off when they can actually compare notes. Especially if even after their margin Uber is still taking a percentage of the driver's pay.

When Jefferson was alive the consensus was that black people did not have enough intelligence to coexist with white people unless they were segregated. Equality of rights at the time only applied to white people (and even then to British whites) and only was only extended to blacks in practice due to the assumption that they have the same intelligence as whites.
While I think that all people should have equal rights, in practice only people with high enough intelligence will be born, let alone have equal rights, once embryo selection and genetic engineering are the norm, unless we find some sort of black magic that can boost intelligence of adult humans to the same IQ GMO people have.

While I think more women, and underrepresented groups in general, is a good idea. However I am against treating them any differently in a professional setting, for better or worse.

This means, if you have a standard for defining someone is not compliant or aligned with the company, it should be the same for everyone.
I hear what you are saying. Before declaring someone is useless you definitely should make sure to understand what they are doing.

On the other hand, I am pretty convinced that there is a sizeable number of people in companies who create a lot of busywork "managing" things. The project I am on has 3 developers (as far as I can tell) and probably more than 10 business analysts, project managers, architects and other managers putting their name on it. I have tried to understand what they are all doing but from what I can tell there are two managers who actually help the project and the other ones write reports to each other, call a lot of meetings but don't really contribute. They just regurgitate what the few active people are doing.

I remember my first dealings with Vim. It was awful. I kept having to hit the X button and reconnect, only to find that nothing saved. I've since switched over to nano and prefer it over any editor in Linux. Easy to use, easy to save. That's how it should be!
This is still not an uncommon problem.

Interestingly, we (Cloud Dataproc team) have been trying to work in the opposite direction. A few months ago we launched single-node clusters so people can use Spark on one VM instead of creating crazy-huge clusters just for lightweight data processing. No sense in using a a fleet of cores for simple stuff. :)

GPS location can easily be spoofed, and your ID has an address on it.
Could it play crysis on ultra settings tho ?
I thought about mentioning this too, as well as things like IP addresses and 2FA. The problem with GPS is proving that the location or request isn't spoofed. Ultimately, the phone is trusted when it supplies coordinates, so a determined adversary can easily circumvent it (for example, a SDR running a GPS spoofer). That's not to say it's a bad idea, as it certainly inproves security, but we are talking about state level targeting here.

The other options, like IP and 2FA are more likely to result in failure demand by non-expert users. It's really tricky to get the balance right, as it's hard to justify to yourself a full wipe when going to a relatively low but nonzero risk country.

I love this visualization - but I think there's a very different intuition you get from PCA in high dimensions.

I prefer to think of the singular vectors in PCA as an ordering of "prototype signals" for which some linear combination best reconstructs the data. That explains, for example, why the largest singular vectors on natural time series data gives fourier like coefficients, and why the largest singular vectors on aligned faces gives variations in lighting.

I think the problem is that most people (both users and developers) mistake an issue tracker for a world-writable TODO list. If something goes wrong, it imposes an obligation that someone fix it.

Instead I'm in favor of the fire-and-forget feedback form. This makes it clear that feedback is a pure gift with no obligations on either side. Users: you don't need to look for duplicates or come up with a way to reproduce it. Just talk about what happened to you. Developers: it's just data, do with it what you like. Go wild, run machine learning on it.

Okay, sure, add optional contact info, so the developers can ask for a repro case if they think it's particularly interesting.

The problem is that if you breed people like animals, you will end up treating people like animals, especially those that don't have the traits people want. With embryo selection people can decide which individuals deserve life and which don't. Hitler was a monster, but since embryos don't suffer it's OK to kill them (never mind the fact that you are deciding whether another person deserves to live or not), and everyone likes abortion nowadays. CRISPR won't change the fact that a person born with low IQ is doomed, which means that anyone living today will be obsolete as soon as people start to breed people.

It's possible for an amount to be more in nominal dollars but less in real dollars if you don't adjust for inflation. If you had $20 in 1913 it would be equivalent to having almost 500 bucks today.

Is plausible deniability the right term here? Usually that's about the ability to deny having known about or authorised something after it's already been discovered.

I'm not very familiar with Python but I liked this quiz. I got two wrong (13/15), once for a stupid mistake and once for not knowing the algorithms well enough. In a couple cases I didn't know the right answer, but was able to determine that all other answers were wrong, which worked.

Overall, I think this is a good level of knowledge that isn't too nitpicky but has enough meat to really test if someone knows something.
It's not difficult at all, but is either overlooked or left out on purpose so you can't read the article without them tracking you. For sites that have active developers and cashflow, it's always the latter.
Hey, look, a citizen (or non-USian) commenting on immigration matters. Without any clue what this means for non-citizens who live in the US. If you're e.g. an H1B visa holder your friendly ICE officer might decide "no" is reason enough to eject you out of the country.

Just one of the new risks of travel. (Well, not new that they can send you back, but a new reason for the little tinpot dictators who revel in their power)
I don't see why the distinction matters. Deleting data because you don't want to travel with it should be no different than leaving your phone at home because you don't want to travel with it.
I used to prepare for about a week every time I switched jobs early in my career. That's back when every company just asked typical DS&A whiteboard questions. Now, every company has its own method. I don't bother to prepare because I never know what I'm walking into. I just wing it.

This comment[0] says it better than I can:

unless you're interviewing at one of the big companies with a known interview process, you'd basically be wasting your time.

I've done hundreds of tech interviews over my career, and especially in recent years (now that companies are trying new things), it's completely random.

Some will do "Cracking the coding interview" type shit, some will do code reviews, some will give you a take home thing you have to present, some will do pair coding. Some do algorithms only, some do design discussions only, and so on and so forth.

So any prep I do will be a shot in the dark and 99% of the time I'll have to do something I did not prep for. So I don't bother trying.

Notable exception is my current job, which is a big tech co with a semi well known interview process (not as infamous as google or facebook, but still), and they gave me a fair amount of info up front. I also -really really really- wanted to work there because the team I wanted to work for did things no one else does. So i bit the bullet and studied/practice.

That was literally the first time (and probably last) time I did.

Studies about education are famously not done well and are hard to replicate (this is true of other fields as well). Instead of having a psychologist who has never done engineering do the study, have actual engineers. Different people respond differently. Engineering is one of those fields that if you screw up, many, many people can die so it takes a certain kind of personality and I believe it is someone who is very passionate about doing it.

The same is true with medicine.
If they really believed in not releasing the details they wouldn't have hinted at all. They wouldn't have said anything because hinting at the identity is the same as confirming it if it is really the leaker.

The fact that they have but aren't actually confirming it says it all really.
To me, your comment is very much in line with the core tenet of equality which would be that we should strive to treat everyone the same regardless of gender or race. As such I am not sure why you are being down voted without people leaving comments.
It completely depends if you are white or not. If you are white, and speak politely, the agent will care deeply about your concerns, including potential firing as an example. If you are not white, and especially if you appear black, Latino or Arab, then your comment will definitely hold true.

Part of the problem here, which the article doesn't quite reach, is that the possible pool of mentors is growing but those women are themselves lacking in the confidence they need to become mentors.

Once you stop caring about appearances and go mainly for comfort, the "tactical" clothing (of a more lightweight variety, usually marketed as "duty" for security guards etc) becomes a surprisingly good choice. You get durable cotton/polyester or cotton/nylon blends, plenty of pockets that are actually designed to hold useful things in a comfortable way (like a phone pocket that can fit a Nexus 6P), generous cuts that do not constrict your movement or feel tight when you sit down, often with an elastic waistband that's not noticeable on the outside.
They may not perfectly control, but they do the job well enough that the error from that is minimal and of less importance than other issues like limited SNP panel coverage, sample error, or measurement error (a _huge_ limit on current GWASes and very underappreciated, given how few papers attempt to correct for it or even mention what sort of psychometric properties the available data has). It is certainly not true, as Alex claims, that the results are nothing but systematic measurement error or population structure.
Sadly, nano has (had?) the nasty habit of adding invisible characters on save (some combination of \r \n). I once almost got into a fist fight with a coworker over this, until he let me show him that his modifying the config was why some application kept crashing on restart.
Because they are attributes of a customer or a product. And many companies these days know a LOT about you as a customer e.g. everything from your age to how likely are you to purchase product X.

It has to be one table because you need to get attributes of a customer very quickly (single digit milliseconds) in order to respond with the next best action e.g. show this advertisement or route them to this call centre person.

And of course this is a database. It's all of the information about a customer in one place.
