I gave up wrist watches back in the late 90's when carrying a cellphone with automatic carrier time became a new sort of norm. I just wanted to shed accessories and check pockets for one less thing before heading out the door.

Later on, maybe by 2010, I had noticed that as my aversion to blackberry vibrations emerged, and I avoided my work-related cellphone more and more, I got really good at ballparking the time to within a margin of maybe two minutes, give or take.

Basically by now, somehow, I'm able to glance at a known clock with an accurate reading (or with a known offset to the accurate time), catch the time once, and usually remain pretty accurate for the next handful of hours, until I get stuck in a sufficiently distracting situation that demands concentration. Up until that point, I try to guess the time to the minute before looking, then look, and often, I'm right on.

I don't have any special method beyond that though. It's just a gut feeling I've accidentally developed. I think it started when I disabled rings and vibrations for email alerts and I'd (with an amount of dread) try to guestimate how many emails would drop before the next time I checked my phone, and the minutes since my last look.

I think the next level up, beyond this skill is memorizing relevant time zones and major cities in each, but I haven't been pushed into caring about something like that quite yet.

California to list glyphosate as cancer-causing; Monsanto vows fight
Hardly a fair comparison. Decorators exist in Python and other languages primarily because they either don't have lambdas or have bad ones. JS doesn't suffer from those problems, so the mental overhead of the additional syntax has a much lower payoff (and one that I believe isn't worth the trouble).
I've started to dislike /usr/bin/env too. At least use -i. Otherwise you're one PATH manipulation away from executing a malicious program as your intended shell.
Wrapping ribs in foil is essentially boiling them in their own steam. Mushy and bland unless you're a pro.

The oven is fine, but if you want speed and smoke taste, brine and cook at 300 degrees on a grill for about an hour. Best of both worlds.
The iOS Do Not Disturb feature allows you to set an exclusion for a chosen group of contacts, so you could allow calls from your spouse or parents while blocking everything else.

> > "New Mission: decline this mission"

> Is that a paradox? If you accept it or have it forced on you then depending on how you interpret the rules you either succeed or fail straightforwardly. If you don't accept it or have it forced on you then nothing happens. There's no loop of logic.

Good point! "New mission: fail at this mission" addresses the first point but not, I think, the second. It reminds me of Carlin's "If you buy 'The worst of Jefferson Airplane', and you like it, should you ask for your money back?", or the even-more-elemental "If you try to fail, and succeed, what happened?"
But surely if he's in a gerrymandered district, passing these rules would make it harder for him to be re-elected? He's shooting himself in the foot to do the right thing.

I think we're using public/private in different ways. You're referring to the data's present and future classification. I'm pointing to the data's past classification because that determines whether the collection of data was theft or not.

If all credit card numbers were stolen and distributed, we would still have considered them private before that.

The same is true for these birthdays. They were private, then stolen and made public. That they are now public doesn't retroactively make the theft okay. Theft is theft.

The lesson here is to tighten security, increase security education and awareness, and increase investigation into the most egregious of these crimes so that violators can be brought to justice.

Interesting, the more (socially) right wing your neighbourhood is, the better the economic mobility.

What gets lost in the statistics is how many people ran away screaming from these places and now live all over the world making far more money than their parents or neighbours dreamed of.

>> Why does Wyoming have two Senators and California have two Senators?

The answer is that the US is not a Democracy, and the Senate was created to limit the short term vacillations of the people.

My company asks a question during engineering interviews that is overly simple, but a bit vaguely defined on purpose. The main objective is to see if they can ask clarification questions to determine precise requirements, which is something that every engineer does daily on the job.
Not really; if the convention proposes an amendment that isn't ratified by 3/4ths of states, things stay as they are. Even a constitutional convention has checks and balances. (Historically, states have used the threat of a convention to force congress to act on issues where they were dragging their feet.)
CRUDE OIL: Builds Up on Bull Recovery
Wrapping in foil, in the oven or on the smoker, is one of the oldest tricks in barbecue:

http://amazingribs.com/tips_and_technique/texas_crutch.html

The "you're a pro" part of this basically comes down to: you have to wrap your product tightly and with no gaps (else you still have the evaporative cooling that is the reason for the crutch in the first place), and you have to remove the foil midway through cooking.

I don't see how you can get tender ribs in 60 minutes at 300f. Tenderness is a function of collagen conversion, and that just doesn't happen that quickly, especially in dry air cooking.
Sell up should be enough reason.

> If I remember correctly, didn't someone finally come up with an algorithm which evenly divides populations such that average distance from the average location of the district residents is minimized?

I had a colleague (mathematician) who suggested presenting district-ers with a dramatically distorted map of the region to be districted in which neighbourhoods were unrecognisable, and all that could be seen was population density. One could gerrymander such a map all one pleased, but with (presumably) no better than random chance of thereby accruing a benefit, and random risk of suffering a detriment.
"Raising fares 7% without increasing the driver's cut" is a complete fantasy at actually should emphasize how unprofitable Uber is. In many other transportation industries, 7% is just about the total profit margin - if companies in these other industries could raise their revenue by "just" 7% they would double their income. They don't because they can't.
We've had success with take-home coding challenges.

After 1-2 technical phone screens, we send applicants a coding challenge for which they have 48 hours to complete. The coding challenge is representative of some of the work we do (e.g. Given our API, create a D3 visualization of X) and should take applicants several hours to complete.

In submissions we look at everything from overall program structure and approach to applicants' attention to detail and usage of good industry practices.

This coding challenge quickly weeds out applicants that interview well but code poorly and is an efficient way for us to see the quality of work we can expect from them (and conversely, the type of work they can expect to do with us).

After a successful challenge, we bring applicants in to meet the team. At this point, it's largely just about culture fit.

But I don't think even people who acquire or live in those homes like the esthetic. Remember,mcmansions wind up the way they are because they're ticking off a list of 'things that algorithmically increase the home value'. That's what creates a sense of Inbalance and forces the house to contort into strange forms.

Most denizens, I suspect, probably feel that something is not quite right but couldn't put their finger on it quickly enough to stop their purchase or possibly more cynically, don't care until they flip the house.
Seems like CSS-in-JS has solved this problem already.

> The plague killed way more people than nukes ever did

No one is worried about the number of people who have ALREADY been killed by nukes, they are worried about the number of people who might be in the future. But I suppose I fundamentally agree with you. I think we may have more to fear from scientifically engineered diseases than we do from nuclear weapons.
> not fully thinking it through

What I like about pklausler's example is that it allows for people to find edge cases without too much technical knowledge. If I have a candidate who doesn't ask about the inputs (e.g. "are the appointment sorted?"), I'd be wary. Engineers are often given vague specifications they need to clarify or account for.

The argument about doomsday asteroids etc is the wrong argument to take, it would still be much easier to survive on the earth even after several killer asteroids than to survive on Mars or another planetary body.

Even if you build your mars base here tomorrow, lets say in Antarctica, nobody has yet got the closed loop environment problem solved as far as I'm aware and supplies will still be required from outside.

Saying that I'm bullish the Human race will become inter-planetary in the next 50 years and wish those working to make it happen the best of luck.
That makes a lot of sense, thanks.

Better consistent hashing means that existing servers don't have their caches invalidated, but the new servers that were just added start with empty caches anyway so are fielding all uncached requests. Hopefully the bottleneck is actually with some shared layer behind it (a database or something) otherwise I guess you'd need to come up with a more complex way to slowly distribute more traffic to the new nodes.

Kerberos absolutely works through NAT.

I used it to connect to campus servers back in college, through my home NAT.

There is an optional field in the Kerberos ticket that can contain your client address, as an additional point of validation to prevent certain classes of replay attack. That particular feature can conflict with NATs. But it's optional.

Oh no I think it's a very bad thing. My implication is that I either shouldn't have bought an iPhone 7, or maybe that Apple pulled the headphone jack a decade too early.
No, I said precisely what I meant.
Good shout.

Kerberos is an example of something that just works but is not for the lazy. It was clearly designed by Engineers and not Kool Kidz. The infrastructure required to make it work is not completely trivial but it is free in nearly all senses of the word.

If you can't be arsed to get clocks in sync and DNS to work properly then this is not for you but then neither is any sort of reasonably useful IT related stuff.

Kerberos is a mythical Greek dog and Dramatis Personae is a Latin phrase adopted by theatre and the main text is in English. The canonical justification text (cited above) is clearly an Engineer's work.
Ask HN: Best resource to learn Data modeling in relational DBs?
>"... you are effectively doing the first round with Apple, Facebook, Dropbox, AND Stripe."

Except that I am not. By doing the first rounds with Tripplebyte I have squandered an opportunity to learn about and form an opinion about the people and team I might be working with in the future. The more answers I can get to my questions the better informed I am.

I guess I don't understand this whole "we will fast track you" as a value proposition. The only efficiency gain("fast tracking") is gotten by the company looking to hire. I myself am still subject to the same length of the interview sequence. Only one is with Tripplebyte and one is with the company doing the hiring instead of two or more with the company doing the hiring. And in the process I have given up the opportunity to have more exposure to meet and talk to the actual team I would be working with.

Should I be so grateful for an opportunity to work for "Apple, Facebook, Dropbox, AND Stripe"(Tripplebyte seems to beat this drum loudly) that it doesn't matter whether I think it would be a fit for me on a personal, cultural and professional level?
Many grocery stores/supermarkets are typically squat affairs with a lot of allowance to expand vertically. That adds to construction costs but not to the land cost (which is the expensive part in a city). They could design supermarkets with growing space within a second storey. And because they're growing in trays or lightweight aggregate, it wouldn't have a metre-deep layer of damp dirt to account for.

(Obviously the construction costs could still outweigh the savings in transport and spoilage.)
But that still comes down to personal subjective taste and she thinks hers is better than the people who bought/designed the home.
Why do you think we need a new Constitution?
Also don't forget the massive immigration and the large percentage of Canadians born outside Canada - that is one hell of a mobility :-)
