Knowledge of fundamental principles spares one from memorizing all the details.

A distinct area of the brain (which birds does not evolved yet) and related corpus collosum linkage are required for even basic language capabilities.

There is a huge gap between mimicking and deliberately producing arbitrary sequences according to the rules. It is a qualitative difference, not merely quantitive. Only humans have managed to cross this gap. All the legitimate, rigorous studies of animal communication systems only prove this principle.

The classic studies of actual brain injuries in humans which form the foundation of the field of cognitive neuroscience stand up in support of my position.

But yeah, music and graphics frequently also don't include the actual 'source' - just a rendered output. This is way better that having a propiatary license on the output, but does not fulfill the full potential.

Some of it has to so with the tools and proceses, which frequently aren't really built to make collaborating on the source materials easy. And often the formats and tools used are proprietary. Freeware VSTs abound for instance...

In countries where unions can cover your legal costs in work-related conflicts with employers/ex-employers this at least counteracts the power assymetry. Which might mean that you can still put your experience on your resumé without worrying about Konami going after you.

You might be over-estimating the complexity of the kinds of problems generally used for this.

You're not bothering people while they're taking an expected amount of time to look at it. You're stopping a several minute silence after handing someone a basic loop and if statement.

For most positions we're talking about, this should not be a major problem. I found when doing something similar people either looked at me like I was crazy for giving them such a basic problem and after being reassured there was no catch answered simply and clearly, or just couldn't do anything. Followup questions about the code then went terribly (e.g. a JS contractor asking for £500+/day who didn't know what the difference between global and local variables was, why you should put var in front of things, etc).

These things are often good to weed out the incredible number of people who seem to have little to no coding ability at all for jobs where that's an obvious pre-requisite. I've also had people fail to solve a basic problem (roman numeral generator or reader) at home in whatever language they wanted, not even getting vaguely close. One person even sent in their broken version pasted into a word document.

still it must be recognized you need a stable environment where police are not forced back into cars and armored vehicles. America's protests tend to be under the snide remark "first world problems" but they can sometimes still highlight issues faced by others outside the country.

Very cool idea. I've often thought this approach would work best for teaching kids programming. Instead of "Chapter 1: Strings" present programming bit-by-bit as a mystery (detective or spy) story - you need to write simple bits of code to proceed to the next step

> ...we apparently have a do not hire list that goes across company lines for even positions like bank tellers? There was no visible public outrage against any company that refused to hire former Wells Fargo employees for example

For bank tellers, I believe this is tracked via the federal agency FINRA, through AWC submittals. For the Wells Fargo employees, you likely are thinking of the brokers who were ordered by Wells Fargo management to fraudulently open accounts. Allegedly, many of these brokers then found out later after they were terminated from Wells Fargo that the bank marked their termination on a U5 form in a manner that all but ejects them from the financial services industry, forever [1]. In both of these cases, they are via mandatory regulatory notifications, and not like the Japanese cases discussed here where it sounds more informal.

One of the language results doesn't make sense. It claims that it matters, significantly, if you solve interview problems in Java when the hiring company is a Java shop, but not when the hiring company is a C++ shop.

But that's reversed. It is in fact fairly difficult for a high-level language programmer to pick up C++, and facility with C++ (or at least C) is a common, accepted goal for C++ hiring shops. A C++ shop that hired candidates without regard for their aptitude at C++ would have real problems.
To put it succinctly, your hosed. There is no way this will pan out for you by trying to pry identity data out of banks, larger credit bureaus, etc.

Find a smaller credit bureau that actually wants to work with you, and pull a couple other data sources in (from CNAM/HLR data to jankyCID like callername.com).

Relying on the same trodden datasets while dealing with goliaths that are actually just wholesaling the data from a bunch of other smaller providers is a quick way to spend a lot of time and money on nothing. They will delay, charge and be a pain to work with, no joy to be had.

You're an outlier. These accidents never happen.

Facebook is just spreading fear to make people more docile and suggestible.

It's just like terrorist attacks and winning the lottery. Sure, these things happen but they don't happen to you.

Facebook and the media love to pick out single unusual cases to make the world seem smaller and more dangerous than it is.

The world is massive, there are more people in it and more things happening than anyone can really appreciate.

While that one tower was burning in London there were probably hundreds of other buildings of the same size burning in other places around the world at the same time. Why does FB focus so much on that one small incident at the expense of all other incidents which actually add up to more? Cold statistics are just not as interesting as emotionally-charged outlier stories.

Yes, Boolean operations on shapes are supported. Select the shapes/paths, and use the "Merge selected objects" operation in the Object menu. Currently supported are union, difference, and intersection. The resulting object will be a path.

You founded 2 startups. You're already 2 steps ahead of those who founded zero. You have knowledge of the full life cycle of a company. You allegedly failed but failure (like success) is subjective and you did gain knowledge you would not have had you "succeeded". Again that puts you a few steps ahead of others.
You can go at it again - do another venture.
Or you can join someone else's idea (which you believe in) and do it together. You can consult other startups with who are just starting out. You can take the time to perfect one of the skills you acquired. Hopefully in the area that you found most attractive and interesting.
You are in a good position. You did not fail.

The ability to do a custom board with the microcontroller and your custom peripherals is key for doing a production run. Open source lisenced source files for the board makes this very easy.

The times where making custom silicon is desirable is way more rare. But hopefully open-source will be standard there too, one day.
This is 100% false. The Calculus of Constructions is a superset of System F. You may be thinking of the fact that if you want your type system to be sound when interpreted as a logic, then termination must be guaranteed (which would break backwards compatibility). Dependent types and totality are often found together, but are in actuality orthogonal features.
Writing a book on this subject would be a fairly pointless exercise as it will age very quickly.

The technology that we use to implement APIs changes but the fundamental reasoning doesn't. A book about building APIs doesn't really need to talk about specific technologies. Personally speaking, I think the principles that drive the design of APIs I build today are the same as the principles I was using 20 years ago; plan your data structures, include extensible structures for future unknown things, don't make anything trivially enumerable, use HTTP verbs consistently, and document the hell out of everything with working examples that have automated tests so you can easily fix them when the API changes. If you do all that you should end up with a nice API.
I am not sure on this yet, but this will be decided before the Mac version is released.

Do you have any plans to export out a diagram as code, such as in GeoGebra's export to PSTricks and Tikz?

Perhaps even better would be a set of instructions that could be piped into some other program to transform into whatever it needs.

That is to say, if you could create a simple parseable format or use an existing diagram lanuage, if one exists sufficiently compatible, then those who want to convert it into PSTricks or SVG or whatever could then base their conversion off your language. Both PNG and PDF don't seem amenable to such a transformation.

One use for this could be using your program to create a basic figure template for some math problem involving a diagram, one whose parameters might change and thus some of the textual content changes without necessarily changing the text. This could be a SVG on the web, for example.

It also would allow for a better integration with particular fonts, etc., in embedding into another document, such as a LaTex document.

Perhaps, at a minimum, since you have a scripting language you use, you could have a diagram to export it as a whole diagram as something in that language. That might be a bit dangerous since ideally your exported language format would not change much and I could see your underlying scripting language would change. Also, ideally the export language should be rather explicit to make it simpler to parse, e.g., a loop to draw concentric circles could just output the concentric circles in the simpler language while the Lua script would naturally be having the loop.

It is surprisingly hard to find good advice on how to code securely beyond absolute basic advice. And a lot of it even bundled in things that are good engineering/process (use linter, code review), but lead to security only indirectly. Code review wont make code more secure if reviewer does not know what to look for when doing said review.

The way it works is that general advice I have seen many times is "don't do it". Finding how to code securely or comprehensive list of insecure patterns is much harder. So, people inclined not to follow advice and the ones with huge ego are the ones attempting to create security related software.

I am not saying that I have instant solution, but strategy of discouraging people from trying does not work well. Promoting good beginer level write ups would work better.

Honestly I'd have thought this situation would call for a lot more than an "I'm ok" checkbox.
