Yes, I meant "stop", sorry.

What is ironical in that issue is that Google copying/caching your content is part of the free web. We would bitch about websites that prevent copying their contents somehow.

What people can opt out of is sharing links to AMP and AMP redirects, which will happen 2.7 seconds after Google starts censoring content.
Can anyone help me
I copy and pasted a string of txt that was supposed to be a url to a file hosting website. It was supposed to lead me to a full copy of VM-Ware Pro or something. I copied the text and pasted it into my notepad, I changed the encoding to ANSI or UTF-8 I cant remember, but as soon as I clicked to save i got a weird message and the madness started. Now all of my computers on my network at home are symptomatic except my Ubuntu Mate laptop. Two desktops, one has windows 7 the other vista, and three of my laptops all with windows 10. All are booting with only one processor rather than all 4, or 2 depending... Each one boots with almost no ram available.... There are other symptoms as well... None of my antivirus stuff finds anything. I can't connect to my vpn, permissions are all screwed up, its just madness...

Yes I learned my lesson. Can anyone offer some advice? Ideas?
Attitudes like that are exactly what attorneys count on to bully the little guys. Many attorneys will give free consultations.

Also, keep in mind that I'm not specifically talking about Zillow right now... I'm saying that you shouldn't let yourself get bullied. Running scared from a letter is just a bad practice.
I predict someone will invent a smart utensil. It will be a smartphone-like device that has a curated app store which only includes utilitarian apps. It'll contain all of the apps people think "I'd love to ditch my smart phone, but I'd really miss <utility apps>".

Apps I really want AND never waste time on:

- ride sharing (Lyft, Uber)

- calendar

- calculator

- mobile banking

- movie times & reviews

- booking a place to stay (CounchSurfing, Airbnb)

- public transit schedules

- camera (only pictures, not picture sharing)

- identity verification (RSA, Okta Verify)

- alarm clock
Life Pro Tip: Never user virtual machines as NTP servers.

Yes, but the only reason you think that is because you understand the technical underpinnings (ie. the content is indeed being served by the same domain as the search results).

Regular users have been expecting search results to behave a certain way for over two decades. Opening the results in a modal is simply not the expected behaviour. Changing the back button is not the expected behaviour.
Additionally, meat doesn't absorb much additional smoke flavor after a few (most say 3) hours in a smoker, so the advantage to keeping them outside --- apart from simplicity, I guess --- is minimal.
> "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.
Isn't that what they once said about IPv4 when they were divvying it up?
The types of people that would want this can already do it with their smart phones. What's gained by crippling a device to only support certain classes of apps?
> "Wearing a watch is like being handcuffed to time."

I like the quote because that's how I feel when I look at any digital clock or watch. The millisecond accuracy of any NTP-aware device produces anxiety and is unnecessary.

An analog watch, especially if it's a wind-up mechanical watch, which is by its nature slightly inaccurate, is much more comforting. I feel like an observer of time, and not a slave of it.
Linguistic prescriptivism is bad, mmmmmkay
Yeah, that's what I am thinking as well. Having the domain be monitored by a third party is an excellent idea. I know some domains go for millions. The traffic on the domain right not is negligible since its a holding page.
I respect that people have different views, including on things like whether the look/inefficient functionality of someone else's house means they should be publicly shamed.

I guess what it comes down to: to me, it's more jarring to see many people here going against "live and let live" ethos (even if it's in an ugly house), than it is to see these houses themselves. But of course, you're right, the McMansion Hell blogger is free to do what she wants too. I just think it's mean spirited is all.
Well, I wouldn't be surprised if Hibike Euphonium has caused a surge in popularity in brass bass instruments in Japan at least...
User ID is not exactly random material. Might be better to do mod(md5(user_id), server_count) to scatter the bits using MD5.
No, but but these are non-discoverable features, generally only used by enthusiastic users who have a deeper knowledge of the system they are using.
It's not hours. It's temperature. After meat reaches, if I recall, 145 degrees, it won't absorb any more smoke flavor. Also the smoke flavor will become more intense the longer you wait to eat it. So if you smoke something and then let it sit overnight it will become more intense the next day.

Does it benefit or even make sense for startups that are already at a 5-figure MRR and on the road to profitability with a small team?
I don't think it's odd. The article says that 15% of Triplebyte's clients dislike it when things get too theoretical. Absent other signals, veering deep into theory on the assumption that interviewers generally like that is clearly the wrong idea.

My experience is that most people are happy to leave school behind, and they invoke theoretical concerns only when they are applicable and relevant. People want to hear about you've built and what you've done, they don't want their compsci textbook recited back to them.

If a candidate only has heavily academic projects, or can only discuss projects in heavily academic terms, interviewers may assume that the candidate is either a student or a researcher, and in either case, that person is probably not a fit for a conventional programming job (but they may be a great fit for a much cooler job in R&D somewhere).

Some companies really value an intensive academic background, but not all or even most of them (the article says that only 40% "need to see" academic CS skills, 15% actively dislike overt CS discussion, and that leaves 45% that didn't respond or don't care or whatever -- 60/40 split that talking less CS is at least harmless if not beneficial).

The takeaway, IMO, is to keep things at the high level, and stay focused on real, practical experience until prompted otherwise.
Search engines have never worked like this (up until now that is). It's just not what the average user expects. It's also a dangerous precedent IMHO.
yet the world did not end. Countless prophecies aboutvthe absolute apocalypse have gone and passed. So yeah it is by large irrelevant.
I think the best part of this is how many people are getting it wrong in the comments here or not fully thinking it through. Perhaps it's not as easy a question as you think it is in the heat of the moment during a stressful interview?
Every home is owned by somebody. So, saying that ownership rates are outrageously high is the same as saying that there are too few people. How does that make sense in the context of a discussion of home ownership? How would someone decide on a theoretical optimum home ownership rate?
I've always found installing apps on desktop completely unintuitive as well. You double-click a downloaded package, see a window containing the app icon (...why?), drag and drop the icon into your app folder usually with no feedback after then you have to manually launch the app e.g. using cmd+space. Why not just have a "do you want to install this app?" dialog when you click on the app file the app launches after?
Exploring Kotlin's hidden costs
Let's be real. I'm not an architect. I'm a layperson with a decent sense of aesthetics.

60%+ of what McMansion complained about I was oblivious to.

Sure, there are some obvious things but the majority would not be accessible to someone unless they were educated in the field and taught what 'proper' aesthetics are.

Is it still a crime in some circles to wear a blazer with denim?
> So why does it matter whether the first round of interviews is done by this company or the actual company doing the hiring?

I think the idea is that if you do the first round with Triplebyte instead of with Apple, Facebook, Dropbox, or Stripe you are effectively doing the first round with Apple, Facebook, Dropbox, AND Stripe.
The plague killed way more people than nukes ever did, and there was no way to stop it until people understood what spread it. Of course technology has bright sides as well. Without medicine and many other discoveries we would not be where we are today.

Very interesting observations and a very complex subject with many factors.

One theory of economics is that it only actually works if very few of the market participants act like rational economic actors.

In the example of higher education, for instance, universities used to be a great value for students. Now they are approaching break-even on average in terms of cost-benefit for students, with some students losing and some winning.

That is a market based outcome and is exactly what a market should do but people don't like it.

In the past maybe professors and administers thought in non-market ways, such as that they should impart knowledge for the good of society, etc, etc, as opposed to rationally optimizing their income.
I totally agree. That website came off to me as very pretentious in that everyone should adhere to her personal taste when I actually liked how some of the homes looked.
At least for testing. My favorite example was the Microsoft Office for Mac team testing every build on a 6100/60
Mobile data speeds and understanding TCP
You're kind of right. You can also use something like jump consistent hash [0] which only requires you to have a consistent ordering of the hosts where you're sending the information. We (Facebook) use something similar for our caches. It requires a linear array of hosts but you've already got that if you're load balancing.

I imagine it's probably a decent way to practice it though, assuming you have enough working knowledge of the language to still get around your phone.

Sorry, but there is nothing more explicit about using lambdas as you have done, it's simply redundant (notice the repetition of sublist and num arguments).
I always use normalization/database design as an interview question. I firmly believe that good questions about database design can really identify the candidate's skills and weaknesses in this area:

- it works well sitting around a whiteboard, which is a nice friendly dynamic that emulates how we really work

- it doesn't require detailed/arcane recollection of specifics, is more conceptual. Who wants to fail someone because they don't remember a parameter or some specific details of how TreeMaps work?

- it can't be faked - no-one can talk their way through a database design discussion unless they really have an aptitude for it

- its interesting. Who doesn't want to spitball around, say, modelling what Uber's database might look like behind the scenes.

I would say there are plenty of decent programmers around who can't (or haven't) done any real database design work, but if its a core skill (SaaS app development) that you really need, then its an easy one to detect at interview.
Somewhat tangentially related: a long time ago, certain scanning tools would crash or otherwise not react well to getting a stream of /dev/urandom. You could consider this the more human version.
It broadly falls into two categories. The first, rarer case is trading beanballs (pitches that hit the batter). Pitchers routinely pitch inside, or close to the batter, to get him to back away from the plate (making it harder to hit pitches that are on the side of the plate opposite the batter). Sometimes, though, the pitcher's command isn't as good as he thinks it is, and he hits the batter when he tries this. If this happens a few times (once or twice can be an accident; more is seen as reckless/intentional), the other team's pitcher might throw near or at a batter on the first pitcher's team. Sometimes, in this case or the second version, the pitcher who throws at someone is the person targeted for retaliation, but this is complicated by the fact that, in one of the two divisions that compose Major League Baseball, pitchers do not have to hit, which means you can't directly target the person who is targeting your teammates.

The second, and more common, is a perceived violation of baseball's unwritten rules. There are a lot of these, but they mostly boil down to "don't have too much fun" and are exceedingly stupid. Things that are seen as violations of these unwritten rules include:

- Hitting a home run and watching it go over the wall

- Taking too long to run around the bases after hitting a home run

- Taking too long to go to first base after drawing a walk

- Flipping your bat after a hit

- Stealing a base while you're up by a lot or down by a lot

- Bunting for a hit (trying to tap the ball with your bat rather than really hit it) to break up a no-hitter (a game where a pitcher has not surrendered any hits, a very rare occurrence)

Basically, pitchers are sensitive babies and they will throw a 95 MPH projectile at you if you hurt their feelings by being better than them. Sometimes breaking these rules will result in an exchange of hit-by-pitch events (you hit my guy, whether arbitrarily "justified" or not, so I hit you/your guy). Bizarrely, this is tolerated, but if the hitter decides he wants retaliation in an equally violent way (say, by walking up to the pitcher and punching him), this is considered completely unacceptable. I love baseball, but it's a really dumb sport in some ways.
It's clearly a detriment to the hiring process: a bunch of academic CS minded types are the ones who set these absurd CS trivia interview questions.

He's not wrong. If you don't have the appropriate equipment you can bake ribs in the oven. This is no secret, restaurants who aren't bbq places have been doing this for years. That being said, the secret to ribs is to have the appropriate equipment. That's why real bbq places have smokers instead of using gas ovens. A gas oven can impart an off flavor and smokers give smoke to the meat.

Also among some, wrapping ribs to get them to cook is considered bad form. They can come out soggy, and the meat can end up being mushy and fall apart too easily. It really depends on what you are trying to accomplish though. If you don't mind that, then it can be the way to go.
> Google serving your pages?

Yeah, what's bad about that? It is, actually, a feature of a free open web: content is there, available to anyone, including Google, to be rehashed, kept, reserved, in anyway any one see fit.

Wikicache is a feature of an open web, that does a very similar thing to what Google is doing.

> Use of a proprietary technology (whether open sourced or not, it's not a standard)?

We have really come a long way if this is what we now call a proprietary technology. My understanding (but I could be wrong) is that the specification is open, everyone is free to implement it, fork it, make editors or readers about it.

Proprietary implies (or used to imply?) that some of these rights are limited: the MPEG consortium forbidding encoders without acquiring a proper license, Oracle claiming that you can't make a Java VM without making an agreement with them, etc...

My understanding is that AMP is as open as it could be: it was just proposed by a private entity. Criticism is a good thing, but saying it will break the open web is simply a warning I can not understand.

If something needs to be criticized, it is Google's quasi-monopoly on search, but even that is not that much of a threat given how many of its competitors are still easily accessible from any device and out there to gain a foothold as soon as Google's search results show any kind of weakness.

It was a tidbit that I ran across in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9UmdY0E8hU which had some other interesting data points as well. Such as the fact that when you look at rich people per capita, it seems that social democracies like Canada, and Scandinavia create rich people more easily than the USA does.

For example if you look for people worth $30million+ per million people, Canada has 186 while the USA has 126. That's about a third more per capita.

And watching the video, you find that 42% of the children of the bottom 20% in the USA wind up in the bottom 20%. Very little of Canada does anything like that poorly.
If that's how it goes, we needn't worry. It'll be an endless chain of AIs, each spending all its time designing a new and better language to write the next AI in. As we know full well by now, the process is so fascinating in and of itself, there's little else that they will have time for.

There may be a better solution than an independent committee, but an independent committee is far, far better than the "whoever is in power creates districts in the way that most entrenches the governing party" system we have today.

Independent committees have historically been pretty effective anti-partisan solutions. One prominent example being the CBO, which both parties like to stand up for while in the opposition, and disparage while in power.

Eh. Unless instant prints are a thing you really need, I'd tend to go with a discrete printer. You can get an inkjet capable of good quality on photo paper for pretty cheap these days, and there's got to be some tradeoffs in cramming an imaging system and a printer into a handheld form factor - for one thing, the sensor's only 10MP, and the prints are only three inches by two.
Why would it be a bargaining handicap unless you're running out of money (i.e. desperate)? If you're a strong enough candidate to land an offer at a top firm, it isn't worth it for them to low-ball you and risk spending more resources looking for strong candidates. Besides, if you can get an offer at Company X, you can probably get an offer at one of their competitors as well (which is your leverage).
