> This doesn't surprise me at all. We're now in a place where a non-skilled career doesn't get you much more than minimum wage, and if you absolutely have to have a college degree to get a job

This is so totally and utterly not true. What you need these days is the same as you needed in old days: training. Going to college doesn't guarantee you anything unless your future employer considers it "training" -- which is not many fields.

There are plenty of blue-collar jobs out there that pay livable wages. They all require some degree of training. Even right now there's an enormous demand for experienced electricians in the bay area, and their salaries are starting to rival average tech workers -- especially if they decide to work overtime (which many of them are because the demand is so high).

I highly support and recommend Mike Rowe's organization which is doing a lot to actually help normal people find good paying jobs, and not selling them some absurd dream about education[0].

I'm hoping there isn't and someone realizing the premium for prime/FBA products produced a ton of them after picking designs algorithmically and shipped them to Amazon.

Somewhere, in an Amazon warehouse near you, there is a Samsung S3 infected toe phone cover. What a time to be alive.
Saurik is correct about security through obscurity not really being helpful, but for what it is worth, this:

> Countermeasure would be to have separate keys, ideally for each such phone, but having them for only this class of phones might be sufficient, too, if they also restrict access to this class of phones. I think that's technically easy, but may be expensive, process wise.

...is already something Apple does with the special development devices. Different keys and certificates used, probably to allow easier access for engineers while tightly monitoring and auditing production infrastructure.
And if they all wrote about their experiences, I'm sure we'd read some of their articles, too.

The problem is companies like this are constantly rewarded by young drop-outs and fresh grads who have faced adversity entering the job market and will take any job. These people are living with their parents and have never been truly employed. They will take these jobs and work their butts off, validating these same managerial processes.

You don't give them enough credit. This process works for them sometimes. And sometimes is evidently enough.

It wasn't my first choice, but when ordering an entire kitchen, it's easiest when all machines come from the same manufacturer. Bosch was another option, but slightly more expensive. AEG let us stay within our budget.

And although I admit I've hated AEG for their crappy fridge, it's probably not AEG's fault. It was installed by an independent installer, and it seems he royally fucked up. Although I think we did have an AEG mechanic take a look at the fridge, and he didn't fix the problems. So AEG isn't entirely blameless.

Still, they're supposed to be good, even if our fridge was basically wasted.

In the end, though, it was really my wife who made the decision. She apparently doesn't hold irrational grudges against manufacturers like I do.

I think I like the idea, but the docs are a major puzzle. This is a library for mapping URLs to data (or function calls? not sure) without a single URL in the docs. There is also a demo, which shows that it works, but not how it works (no source code displayed except if i want to dig down in the entire site's source code).

@madmaniak, add some examples, please :-)
Maybe stop clicking on them.
There doesn't need to be any difference between this service and ResearchGate (or multiple other services in this space) for it to offer a better solution to academic paper discovery. There doesn't need to be any content under your desired search query either (although, you can sort by relevance after logging in). The article/press release states this is a free platform for people to collect and share "boards" on research topics, like Pinterest. Why not just evaluate it at that?
I suppose this would be helpful if they gave us the pricing before the decision of where (or, for many unfortunate people, if) to have the procedure or test done.

I have always been interested in imagining if Internet ever goes down (Or our computing power comes to a grinding halt due to an EMP strike) then how would bitcoin networks work (again not from a realistic point of view, but from a Anathem (by Neal Stephenson) way.

The difficulty rate would have to be lowered, low enough to be processed via some human effort, but not super easy[1]. Maybe there would be these monasteries where monks would process transactions by hand. Considering there would be synchronization issues so each region would mine the transactions using state channels and every month whenever ships carry updated blocks across the ocean, there would be a sync up of inter-continental trade.

Or at that point we would all revert to using gold.

I'm not as familiar with native windows apps anymore but the difference typically is that while there is a faster path on native it's not as critical that it's taken. As in, the slow path is still generally fast enough.

That certainly used to be true on win32 (in that an animation of left/top would easily hit 60fps on a desktop computer), but maybe Microsoft's UI toolkits have regressed significantly? I rather doubt it, though, and suspect that it would still work just fine on a native windows app even though the web equivalent grinds to a halt.
OP got screwed eastern European style. Over here we have short sides of all three sticks: no job security, miserable salaries, and non existent social support. What's infuriating for me personally is that managers deciding to fire oftentimes are employed themselves by a subsidiary in a country with high job security (e.g. Germany, Sweden), playing with the EU's free movement of workers in a very nasty and exploitive manner.

We don't disagree
I wouldn't "red flag" a dodged answer, but "yellow flag" it.

One of the most useful tactics in interviewing, or in any conversation, is to use silence as a tool. In your example, if they say "Deep learning", instead of responding with "that's interesting,..." stay silent for a few momenths. They will subconsciously jump to fill the gap in conversation, often revealing even more about themselves with the "unprepared" response you promted with your silence.

Another tact to take is being more "strong-armed". If they "dont want to bore you with the details", simply say "I would like to hear the details, break it down for me".

Simply don't allow them to deflect. If they deflect and haven't answered your question to your satisfaction, be straight forward and ask them to elaborate.

Exactly. I would be much more in favour of the (what I call) throwaway economy - because it really is convenient - if I could trust that the stuff I discard is being recycled into new products in an efficient way. As it is, we're still mining raw resources to manufacture new stuff, and the old stuff decomposes itself to uselessness (or poisons the Earth).
given the incredible importance to global internet infrastructure of things like the DE-CIX in frankfurt, I am not surprised that the Germans have their shit together when running critical back end systems.
>Today, you can choose between cheap things from plastic, which will break soon, or fancy polished shiny stainless solid steel with bells and whistles, which are really expensive and which may last a wee bit longer than their plastic siblings

Huh? I have owned the same stainless steel cheese grater for probably at least a decade, and it's not going anywhere anytime soon. It is also just sheet metal after all. It's totally beyond me how you think you're going to break a "shiny stainless solid steel..." grater like this [1].

I love the concept of the "crater run" (or I guess now "cargo bomb"?), where the entire crate (i.e. "package") ecosystem is compiled, as a test for speculative compiler changes.

It's one of the huge benefits of being both a statically-typed compiled language and offering a modern package system. A lot of languages have the types & compiling but no standard package ecosystem (Haskell, Go, Java), or the package ecosystem but not the compiling (Ruby+Gems, JS+npm, etc). Rust is the only language I can think of that has both, although I'm sure there are others. I'm not sure if there's tooling for compiler writers in other languages to compile them all, though.

And this feature will only get more and more powerful as the ecosystem grows. I think it's a seriously important tool to keep the rust language feeling stable.
I think the big thing is that if you work in an office you can more or less gauge if the person is working by glancing at them. Yes there are better ways to keep track of this, but by simply glancing at the person once every 30 minutes to an hour you can more or less gauge how much they appear to be working.

For remote work a manager has to be more on top of keeping track of his/her employees.

I understand you have strong opinions about this, FWIW I work remotely so yeah I get it.
In CS, it also occasionally makes sense to cite an arXiv paper if it hasn't been accepted in a peer-reviewed publication. It's still helpful to acknowledge that you're aware of related work that exists regardless of what form it's been published in.

I imagine the hypothesis is that during sleep, your unconscious mind is free to participate in memory formation / culling and decision making, and that the distracted complex decision makers are tapping into the same unconscious. So while 'sleeping on it' can colloquially mean anything from taking an offer to another interested buyer, or discuss it with a spouse, there's some benefit in just taking a nap before deciding.

But IMO, it seems likely the study about distraction and complex decision making is likely bunk. Maybe even about sleep and decision making =(
It doesn't take "nobody" to realize what was going on; it only takes the decision makers to either not realize it or to actively decide for profit against longevity.

Imagine a situation:
Investors say: give me investment returns!
People in charge say: give me profits!
People making decisions say: profits or quality!
People conducting day-to-day operations say: worry about regulations first, then profits, then quality!
People doing the work say: this quality is poor, but I need my job and don't want to rock the boat!

Maybe it's just anecdotal evidence, but that's generally been my experience over the past 10 to 15 years of doing things
Compiling Common Lisp code isn't too slow. There are some quick compilers like Clozure CL.

What slows some Common Lisp native code compilers down is more advanced optimization: type inference, type propagation etc, lots of optimization rules, style checking, code inlining, etc.
well it kind of does but idiomatic python is not very functional
I'm of belief that tools barely suited to their function are a waste of materials, energy and production effort - and therefore should not exist.

Is this a correct read on what you're saying:
You feel other people buying low-cost poor-quality products are making the wrong choice 100% of the time. If you were in charge, you would pass legislation to ban these crap products from being sold. This will protect consumers from making poor purchasing decisions.
I'm of the opinion that the accelerant for this dumpster fire is that companies are allowed to define "two-factor authentication". Security questions? Nope. "Choose the picture"? Nope. SMS? Again, close but nope. But because we sadly let just about anything beyond UID/PWD under the 2FA tent, that's what we ended up with.

The article identifies 2012 as when the mess started. Oh, no, it goes back at least five years prior. I worked at a company implementing biometrics as an authentication factor. The Feds had just mandated 2FA for banks and the like. Man, we're all going to be rich soon! Nope, I never made a dime off those options, and last I checked the company has pivoted twice and may not even be in business anymore. What happened, we were practically handed a money printing press? What happened was that banks and the like were allowed to use those half-assed implementations like security questions. Yes, security questions counted as 2FA. The "choose a picture" was allowed. So our relatively expensive system was rejected in favor of the less expensive, half-assed systems. And ten years later, here we are, with a bunch of security questions that can be answered by anyone you've friended on Facebook, and SMS that can be social-engineered.

From where I stand, it comes down to money (doesn't it always?). RSA fobs, biometric systems, they all cost money and have high support costs. Because that's what security is: it costs money, and it adds inconvenience. Well, we can't have that, so we'll implement a JS library we found on github, reset passwords over the phone for anyone that says the right things, and we save money.

I agree with the speed aspect, but I wish there were better studies that actually tested this. I realize that "explosive" power is diminished when you're burning fat vs. glucose, it would be interesting to know by what amount. Moreover, is it something that normal people need to know about or is it something that occurs at the extremes of performance?

In regards to your first point, I mean, in the video, he stated that he used to try running with the glucose packets and he stated that he got sick trying to keep it all down, and it really slowed him down. It's anecdotal evidence of course, but I wasn't trying to present as anything other than that. :-)

Edit: Holy run-on sentence. I'm going to leave it for posterity.
C++ is strongly typed. I believe there are frameworks that will give you denotational semantics in C++.

You should be honest and say: this will hurt consumers but help the environment, and I feel that is worth it.
> and why all complicated rendering ends up on separate GPU layers.

No, it doesn't. The app renders to a single surface in a single GPU render pass unless the app uses a SurfaceView, which is generally only for media uses (camera, video, games).

Multiple layers are only used when asked for explicitly (View.setLayerType) or when required for proper blending. They are generally avoided otherwise as it's generally slower to use multiple layers.

You can absolutely do the "bad" things in the linked article in a native Android app and still hit 60fps pretty trivially. The accelerated properties, like View.setTranslationX/Y, only bypass what's typically a small amount of work (and don't use a caching layer). It's an incremental improvement, not something absolutely required. Scrolling in a RecyclerView or ListView, for example, doesn't even do that. It just moves the left/top of every view and re-renders, and that's plenty fast to hit 60fps.

The people that make this sort of mistake should not be responsible for a TLD. This is one of the worst possible blunders imaginable.

Considering they control the .io TLD these should have been registered and locked as reserved. That this wasn't the policy is but one of the many failings that lead to this outcome.

Timmy Olsen has been hit or miss as far as leaving his competitors in the dust.

There are a LOT of other factors. Who's on top in the ultrarunning world is constantly changing, and, the ultra races are extremely vaired: 100 mile road races to the Barkley Marathons.

Just last year, Karl Meltzer broke vegan runner Scott Jurick's Appalachian Trail speed record. Obviously, they had very different diets.

I think the real requirement for ultrarunning (and other long-term thinking activities) is grit. Grit includes will power but also the ability to endure.
> we see $50,000/yr swings in annual salary

I heard a coworker basically boast about making $300,000 a year coding in python. Thing is afaik, he didn't have a college degree. He knows how to code in python and was able to put in extra hours for a client who was in a hurry to get something done while working as a contractor.

This IT career track is pretty amazing to me.

You can get on a fast track to make a lot of money, with no college degree or having to go through an expensive (in time/money) training program. But if you didn't put in enough hours (much like having a second part or full time job) to learn new skills, you will be knocked off the fast track before you know it.

There were many good web libraries/frameworks for Python before Django. One even had a transactional NoSQL object database.
Note that this is the same WSL/Bash subsystem that has been available in Windows for a little while now, it's just an easier way to enable it without jumping through as many hoops.
Why on earth should I be subsidizing that company, though?

I agree that making sure that person, and people like them, should have the support needed to make sure that both them and their child are fed and housed and generally taken care of. Why that means I should be implicitly subsidizing the business, instead of them being obligated to pay a living wage, is beyond me.
