I think you start by building the hardware inside a simulator. From the description in the first part of the course, you build things from the gate level using an HDL, working up to designing and building a CPU+RAM, programmable using "Hack" machine language, and an assembler so that you aren't stuck writing opcodes directly.

Part 2 starts from that assembly and goes into developing a higher-level object-oriented language called "Jack", then a compiler and operating system.
Apart from everything else, in the last few weeks I've seen a bunch of AMP pages that include at most the first few paragraphs, possibly just a photo or something, and a "read more on our website" link below. This is strictly worse than a world with no AMP: I have to load the AMP page, and then I have to load the real website.

Because of that I'm starting to seriously wonder if Google is going to end up declaring AMP a failed project (and, being Google, the prior probability was reasonably high in the first place), and then AMP is an uncleanable stain on the web, with www.google.com/amp/ URLs being kept around forever.
> people could still look up the restaurant directory and learn about the options.

Then you will have premium listings in the directory. Businesses will always try to increase their revenue and advertising is and will be a tempting option for them.
AMP is bad and anyone who's invested in it should feel shameful for making the internet a worse place.

> If Google blacklisted non-AMP content, sure there's an argument, but as of yet this notion that it's some content theft is quite strange.

Doesn't Google already admit to prioritising AMP pages in search results?
> 3. Teaching abstract concepts in a gender-biased abstract composition of fields (STEM) in a gender-biased country (USA) is harder to teach equally to both genders.

How do you figure? They just started college, the absolute most advanced level of mathematics we're talking about is probably Calculus I. I'm just not seeing the gender-biased way to talk about trigonometric functions or quadratic equations that would lead one teacher to do poorly with girls but not boys when they're being taught simultaneously.

Unless you're arguing that there's a "better" way to teach girls math versus boys, which would imply that boys and girls learn math differently. And as we all know, there's absolutely no difference in the intellectual capabilities of males and females so obviously that's not it.
When I was in college in the '80s, My roommate and I got curious about unused area codes (and/or prefixes? I forget). We started dialing some. Within about 15 minutes we stumbled on some government service with a scary-official sounding operator on the other end (I've no idea if it was this service or a different one).

The really scary part was after dialing the number and encountering the operator, we were unable to hang up (any time we hung up and picked back up, the operator was still there, even after waiting about two minutes). Fortunately this was (a) at MIT which still had a central electromechanical telephone switch for student phone lines in the '80s and (b) I had keys to the switch as a student phone repair tech.

I still remember grabbing my keys, running over to the switch, and physically pulling the relay contacts to release the call and prevent a trace to our location in case that was the motivation for holding the line (nowadays traces are digital and instantaneous, but when looking at old-school electromechanical switches you really did need time to trace the call physically through the relays).

Yes, we were aware the operator was probably just messing with us by showing he could hold our line against our will to discourage us from calling again, but it still scared the crap out of us just in case.
it's not that driving is no longer valued, but that the elite players are so capable of driving and scoring that the dunk and 3 strategies work. watch any team incapable of penetrating a defense and they just won't have the room to score easily inside or far out.

but yah, 3-and-D is like the mantra of the warriors. curry got a whole lot better penetrating on the dribble this season and durant has always been a scoring machine going to the basket. that's on top of both being able to shoot and play good D. and they have 3-4 more who fit the 3-and-D mold.

anyone from the project? wanted to test out but it looks like the create link is dead: https://www.ampproject.org/docs/create/
It was a "Software Engineer, Backend" position, mostly working with Golang and Java, the requirements was:

- B.S. or M.S. degree in a technical field such as Engineering, Computer Science or equivalent experience

- Experience in at least one modern, object-oriented programming language, such as Golang, Java, C++, Python, Ruby, etc.

- Experience working with distributed systems and Web services

- Experience with Git and continuous integration, with a passion for benchmarking and optimisation

- Excellent communication skills in English

- Demonstrated ability to work independently

So no mentioning for special knowledge in Math or anything like that

I applied and was asked to go through a test on HackerRank, it was two problems, i solved the first one, and the second was this one > https://goo.gl/E6XZR8, i didn't solve it and was rejected because of it

They told me that the other candidates got a better score (which means they solved the second problem). I sent a feedback telling them that this is not relevant, and you could actually search for the solutions. They said sorry, the other candidates is more fit to the position.

So i don't get it, should i have just search for the solution and submitted it to get a better score?

And quite possibly they have some unrecognized or under(non)represented great skills.

Consider how we as humans treat other non-human creatures. Do we consider the intelligence of a chicken, for example? It's inconvenient to do so, as it would suddenly thrust upon us ethical considerations to how we treat them. We (some) would rather just factory farm and eat them.

Perhaps because of our own limitations (culling less likely useful streams of thought) we tend to disregard things we don't understand. That does not mean they are lacking in value. It just means we have not made much effort to ascertain their capabilities.

Consider this perspective. If you were a stock investor, how would you value a modern Beethoven? You might try to determine the potential value of sales of his creations, but you would likely disregard the non-financial value of his music. Does that mean his music was not worth much?
Can you elaborate on what is meant by "optimizations leaking out"? I am not familiar with this term. Thanks.
This was my first thought too. How do these apps even make it past review.
I'll defer on you to genetics, but I think you are unfairly dismissing the larger point raised, ie. that different societies have historically had different interpretations of, degrees of acceptance of and methods of utilizing the different qualities of autistic people, some potentially more enlightened than ourselves.

FWIW I found the reindeer herder story quite convincing. I have personally met and spoken to some fascinating people who could be ascribed a similar position, eg. a Himalayan Naxi hermit who endures near total isolation 9 months per year (his daughter and grand daughter took me with them on a rare visit, which was at the treeline a whole (predawn to nightfall) day's return walk above the nearest settlement). Approaching his position, we were overtaken by an animal skin clad mountain Yi vagabond who could double our pace at altitude. (My guides explained he would summit and descend the snow-capped mountain range for the safety of the next valley before nightfall.) A friend of mine from a young age is heavily autistic, to the point where only the extreme devotion of his father allowed him to begin to speak. He now runs a video store with his encyclopedic knowledge of film.
Well, they're a tiny bit better than Google when it comes to app reviewing. I mean, Google Play is literally filled to the rafters with low quality ripoffs of known franchises that clearly break every copyright and trademark law in the book, along with the kind of scams mentioned in the article.

But in either case, it seems like the 'submission review process' is far more minimal than whatever Apple and Google advertise on their websites. Seems like unless a lawyer/the police/authorities send a take down notice, the companies don't give a toss about anything resembling quality control.
What problems are you running in to? I've been using duckduckgo at work for just over a year now (took a change of job as an ideal time to try a complete switch in search engine too), and it has been excellent. I've been getting almost as good results as I do from google on even from some fairly vague terms, and comparable to Google when I give it explicit text to search for. Unlike Google it also seems to pay a lot more attention to searching for what I'm asking for, instead of trying to play guessing games.

How to bias material: lack confidence in it.

How to bias responses to children expressing problems with grasping material: be human.

How to gender-bias responses to kids having difficulty: be human while teaching both genders.

More specifically, my teachers in the past weren't always able to clearly convey how equations directly related to their graphs. I developed a rote sense of functions, rather than a visual intuition. When I tutor kids, I pass on my intuition that since things real numbers raise to even powers gets you positive real numbers, your graph will be above or touching the x-axis. That's different enough from saying "Consider y=x^n. If n%2=0, then y>=0." to click for someone who isn't catching on to the symbolic reasoning.

I work in an Amazon fulfillment center, saving up money because I live with my extended family so that eventually I can afford a meager apartment and have a bit of an emergency cushion while I barely pay down my business application programming and graphic design degrees before the IRS decides to just send a guy for my kidneys.

They do. They seem to be a little quiet about the idea that a right/left swipe on your content switches to a competitors page though.
I love expo to bits but their are many React Native scenarios where it’s not going to work.

One example would be if an app uses third party libraries that rely on native code. Now on the surface this might sound like
an exotic requirement but consider that most mobile apis for third party services will probably wrap objective c or Java code.

An example of this came up for a friend who was building a github app. He had to eject from expo because the github mobile api wasn’t included in expo and required native code for authentication.

How is STEM gender-biased?

Are you arguing for innate gender differences in abstract thought?

Or is it just that boys tend to intimidate and shut down girls?

Would gender segregation be better? My wife thinks so.
Firearms are incidentally lethal only if you have no idea how to use them. Same as with any other weapon.
Similarly, the open source review process for so many companies I've seen has been so onerous that it was easier to write your own proprietary clone with absolutely none of the community and review possible with OSS. Enterprise processes in general are historically oriented around avoiding downside risks at the expense of agility and growth because it's simply easier to lose money than to gain it when you're an incumbent in a market vertical.
I've spent a little bit of time playing with some of the supplied tools, but when it comes to creating my own using eBPF, I'm almost completely at a blank. To some extent I just don't know a whole bunch about what there is in the kernel to hook in to.

I'd love to see some good tutorials, or websites that could help me get a handle on that side of things so that I can start to create useful tooling using it.

How are gmail, maps and chrome not profitable? It's a gold mine for data mining. As long as personally identifiable data is out of public's reach, Google is free to trace part of people's life and sell anonymized data to ad targeting or whatever company let alone the gov that's interested.

If you're not paying, you're selling yourself.
> #1 - Apple has a quarter of a trillion dollars in cash. You would think they could afford

Same can be said for any company/bank/government.

> #2 - Average computer/phone users are willfully ignorant

This - most people doesn't want to know how everything works - and they pay for it in various ways. It's not a matter of intelligence to know everything - but at least someone should know how they are spending their money. Could be a matter of trust, are they trusting Apple too much?
What makes a good software engineer job description?
Keep in mind:

- Most solutions posted here probably won't just work for your problem, you have to work it into your needs - concentrate on what works for you not necessarily whats new.

- Many really cool things took someone years to develop, you are just reading a lot of different people's long-term accomplishments not a small group. And most of those people were sticking to things that worked instead of chasing the shiniest technology.

- Theres more than one way to do anything, just because they may be currently more successful doesn't mean you can't find new solutions, don't forget to try your own thing.

Well Java does have array literals. They don't have hash map literals, but I really don't use map literals very often in Go except for constants. And you can make a HashMap in Java in the same number of lines as Golang (though not for an array of hash maps). I really don't see that as a killer feature.

That's why you introduce a land value tax. As the supply of interested parties increases, so too does the demand and therefore the value of the land. This has several effects:

1) incentivizes unproductive land owners to sell

2) incentivizes productive land owners to seek tenants

3) generates public revenues to offset negative externalities
The whole point of the App store and Apple's bragging about it was that you were in a walled garden, and shit like this didn't happen. It's in their own interest not to kill their golden goose by allowing this kind of scam in their garden.
To add, in the case of RISC-V, the base integer ISA and most of the core extensions use fixed length 32-bit encoding (RV32/64 E/IMFAD). The basic encoding, however, allows for shorter and longer instructions in 16 bit increments. There is also the compressed ISA extension that encodes a subset of IMFAD into 16 bit instructions. The per-byte dynamic code size of the compressed extension ends up being on par with x86/x64 and Thumb2.
Just about to graduate from University of Washington, so happy I grew up in Seattle.
Low functioning autism may mean "bangs head on the table even as blood goes out because routine got interrupted - favourite ipod run out of batteries". Or "goes into epic rage because the cup is not on exact same place as usually - it is 15cm on the left in the same drawer. "

It is serious condition. Most would simply die young.
There is some responsibility as gatekeeper of applications (especially if you make an effort to create a walled garden) to ensure some level of quality. And as this article points out, Apple obviously made little or no effort (or is very stupid? I doubt that.)

Consider the potential number of new apps per day to an app store. Now imagine that each app requires 10-60 minutes of a halfway intelligent human's time to review. That's not such a huge staff required, especially compared to the revenue of said app store.

Or let's be generous and reduce the responsibility of app stores to just police the top 20 or 50 apps. If, daily or weekly, the top 20 apps were reviewed for quality, that would obviously require a very small staff... and it would prevent situations like this.

Ultimately, situations like this will result in class action lawsuits (like the one Amazon dealt with that resulted in them refunding a lot of childrens' in-app purchases). Perhaps what's happening is that companies decide it's just easier (organizationally) to handle legal problems than to manage business better. After all, final settlements tend to be fractions of actual costs to consumers.
They do have a monopoly in search. If they decide to delist you, you're f*cked.
Yeah the boys have the same bad math teachers.
Very interesting story, curious if you remember the number. Reminded me of my favorite scene from Community: https://youtu.be/xx_MkKJPNjQ
On mobile I click only on AMP because it is fast.
You've enlarged the scope of my comment tenfold, it was that you could ask a friend to help register a domain or move it, that might happen once or twice a decade.
I'm not sure I would go that far but I've given up on Google personally, though. Yahoo search is ok. Firefox's mobile UI isn't as good but I'm sticking with it. Email and Photos is pretty hard to get away from. Hopefully I'll be fully out some day in the near future.
"a gender-biased abstract composition of fields"

What does that even mean? Do you mean things like not counting medicine as STEM, because more women than men study it?
Then the question is how will you know to either pursue something further or not without being exposed to it first? How will you know about category theory or topology without well...learning about something related to topology or categories theory? How will you know that you can or can't pursue it?
Wow, thanks so much for the feedback! It really helps to hear such detailed feedback from a musician.

Learning timing imperfections with my current setup shouldn't be too difficult to implement. Considering that it can predict velocity quite well, I assume that it would be able to pick up timing too. It's definitely the next thing I plan on experimenting with.
Please note that Google HQ is in Mountain View, CA, so expanding in Seattle is analogous to adding spare nodes in your distributed system, not single point of failure.
Gender bias inherently affects all children in various ways to varying degrees. Nothing is as black and white as you're treating it.

Here's some evidence to support the systems-oriented reasoning behind what I'm saying.

#1 - I don't really think many companies sit on .25 Trillion Dollars of cash. Perhaps if you applied appropriate taxes (which are currently deferred indefinitely), the actual cash would be much lower and thus more common amongst companies.

#2 - No, it's just that people optimize away their concerns. Until it's a _real_ problem, they don't bother. I get that, because I do that with other things in my life. But it's still unwise, and given the position (and power) technology has in our lives, I think people should adjust their priorities.
Warlords needed to actually fight and be strong physically. Not really the same as being CEO.
There is data on gender segregated education. So that question should be easy to decide.
To be clear, this is what happens when your commissioner lets one of the league's top 3 superstars join an already 73 win historic team, even after that superstar took the 73 win team to 7 games in the conference finals right before. It's the most "piled on" team in NBA history, not even by a little.

Last year had 2 of the best series I've ever seen in the NBA (the WCF and the finals), this year there's nothing particularly exciting watching the Warriors play, it was all inevitable, and it just feels a little dirty.

It also feels even more dirty that the commissioner pretends like there is parity in the league, and even the officiating last night where they re-assigned technical fouls to prevent having to throw out a Golden State star (never, ever seen something like that, and as Jeff Van Gundy said right in the broadcast, "This is an absolutely terrible look for the NBA").

Just voicing another sentiment.
All of this exist on software. Try working on software in medical, aerospace or finance.
Agreed.

From my experience, when a proper preparation is done and there are clear requirements, most of the "obvious" bugs do not even come into play. They do, when "hacking" a feature and / or working in "POC" mode, which, for me, is not software engineering.
