Sure. They also are not tested for.

I'm not saying these things aren't important. Just that it's almost never included in a job description, and it's invariably eye-roll worthy the few times they are, because no one tests for them explicitly anyway.

"Time management skills", "Ability to prioritize effectively", "Able to handle stress in positive ways", "Able to self-task", etc; no one changes their interviews to actually test for these things. Well, except maybe for seeing how someone handles stress, but frankly, we've heard about companies who do that, purposely make the interview as stressful as possible just to see how someone handles it, and we hate the very idea of it.

Doesn't this use case eventually screw over any future Twilio customer that selects that number? I see several inbound calls to my Twilio number from random numbers that I have to pay for, even though I'm only using Twilio in a development capacity right now. Do you guys "expire" numbers from your pool that receive aggressive amounts of Inbound traffic (voice, fax, or SMS)?

At some point a few years back, my VW dealership sold my phone number to people for vehicle service contracts. Even though I sold that car 4 years ago, I STILL get at least 2-3 calls per week from different companies offering to sell me an extended warranty. How does Twilio mitigate that for us?

(Off topic, but seriously, thanks for Twilio. Ping me if you want to know how we're using it in our new startup [email in profile]. It's pretty rad.)

An older article, but interesting in light of the replicability crisis that has come out since. FTA:

"It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of The New England Journal of Medicine."
I pulled my achilles tendon about 10 years ago and ever since it has been particularly fragile. Angling my foot too far creates an unpleasant sensation and if I'm not really careful about how I place my foot when running it will put me out of commission for several days. I also had a roommate who injured himself doing squats when he was in his early 20s (20 years ago) and has since had six back surgeries and has to work lying down to manage his back pain. Most people don't seem to realize that even casual exercise, if done improperly, can cause permanent, life-altering injuries.
Yea, so the company provides a significant benefit, because without them the person would starve. I don't see why any of that is the companies problem, should they pay people more money just to be nice? The governments job is to ensure that regulations allow people to switch jobs without putting their family in jeopardy by having unemployment benefits, food stamps, etc, not the companies job.

And to be honest I have always been very turned off by their boastful "We only hire 50/50 Male/Female developer team." It's so in your face, it's like "why not hire the best person for the job?" Or when I see their internal job ads here, its like "Gee, I wonder if this is for a Male engineering role or a Female engineering role," or "Hope they didn't hire a bunch of dudes last week."

So for a variety of reasons I am an anti-advocate for Lever; I will never have business with them and I have successfully pointed several companies to better ATS.

It's a bit more expensive than most options but the price does vary by how much of your data is duplicated. At the mo I have 1TB of data being backed up but it squashes down to under 550GB with borg. Monthly price for me is about $17 (paid yearly though).

I'm happy with the extra price for my use, but yeah it's not the best option if you have a lot of unduplicated data.

You don't want it to be random since participants need certainty about when the cross will occur.

Yes. This isn't Wall Street is bilking the common man. This is one side of Wall Street trying to squeeze the other side, and appealing to the public to help their case. It's a tough market for big money right now. Opportunities are scarce and their customers are pushing down costs, so they're putting pressure on their suppliers.
I find it much more likely to be stuck at that for more domestic companies (like the company I'm leaving) than for IT companies. Even then it is not inevitable.

Once I decided I didn't want to torture myself or my subordinates it became very easy to kill that culture - on my team at least. I told HR that I would not do OT until they provided x FTEs (which was slightly less than the peak usage rate of my team). When they balked at hiring, I told my team members to go home at 5:45 every day. Suddenly urgent dev requests are not urgent anymore and we have less meetings.

If one's manager is selfish or weak, he or she probably wants to score brownie points off of a subordinate's service overtime. It's easy for them to say "this is how it is in Japan" - but it's not a Japanese thing, just a weak leadership thing
Aw...how cute they look like little borg lite.
The unambiguous term would be "gratis" or "free of charge".

Your software is not "free software" in the "libre" or "free to modify and share" sense.
I've built a few assembly lines for automotive parts. These machines do one job, and probably only handle a couple part numbers: They might press a gear onto a motor shaft at one station, press on the plastic shroud at another, and add the grease and fasteners at the third station. These do have the operating instructions (Graphical, not English) laminated and displayed prominently above the machine. Someone with zero experience can walk up to the machine on their first day, rotate every couple hours to avoid task blindness, and assemble the parts. After lunch they'll be on a different line with new instructions.

But the bay pictured looks more like a mechanic's shop than an assembly line. You can't pull a car into a vehicle bay and refer to a big picture of "how to fix car" on the wall - the information is in dozens of 3-ring-binders, vehicle repair documentation, and on the computer. On that stand and for that jet engine, there's far too much information to put it on the wall.
That's kinda horrifying... Accruing useless code to reduce the probability of mutating the useful code? Sounds like a better regularization strategy is needed.

I'm generally pretty suspicious of generic algorithms; why take a random walk when you can March along the gradient towards a solution?

It might be interesting to try using GA for neural architecture, though, and gradient descent to train the network... (Though it sounds expensive.)
Unfortunately, RMDIR as well as other windows commands suffer from the long path issue. You can turn on long path name support in win10 but that did break our regular build tooling.

My current way to delete any folder regardless depth of the tree is to use robocopy (robocopy D:\EmptyFolder D:\FolderToDelete /MIR). It is actually pretty damn fast, might be faster than using RMDIR /S /Q.
Interacting with documentation is such a cool way to actually learn. I know many people–myself included–that learn from trial and error; reading simply doesn't cut it.

I'm excited to see this go further than just express. It's not only going to be a great way to learn, but a great way to teach, too.

My first PC was an IBM PC/AT, complete with original Model M keyboard (model F is the same, but more compact). I remember it well; I'd say it is somewhat overrated. Activation force threshold is too high; it is LOUD (and even if it doesn't bother you, the sound itself starts to be pretty annoying after 2-3 weeks), etc.

Designing a good keyboard is a subtle art. I still prefer mechanicals, but I haven't found anything that worked perfectly for me.

Is this true? Any links? Not doubting you, just interested.
The startup behind this is Google.

"Intersection was formed as a merger between Titan, the largest municipal out-of-home company, and Control Group, a leader in technology and design innovation. We are backed by Alphabet through its urban technology company, Sidewalk Labs."[1]

Google actually acquired all of these companies:

"Today Sidewalk revealed its first move: The acquisition of two companies that are working to bring free, public Wi-fi to NYC.

Control Group and Titan Outdoor are both behind an effort called LinkNYC, which aims to put Wi-fi and digital advertising screens in thousands of pay phone booths across the city. The Wi-fi hotspots will also offer charging stations for cell phones and free calls to anywhere in the US."[2]

While there is clear benefit in providing free wifi and emergency services to citizens and tourists, this comes at the cost of even more advertising blight.

I think it opens up some questions like "should out city's be in the advertising business? If so "should New York City be advertising alcohol to its residents"? See the following:

http://www.adweek.com/digital/coors-light-offering-neighborh...

Also I have to ask do cities really need yet more advertising? This whole thing smacks of little more than a ploy for Google to take a piece of traditional billboard advertising along with some new sources of data collection, under the pretense of "civic improvement."

I was recently struck by kiosk after kiosk along 1st ave advertising Coors Light Beer and yet I saw nobody interacting with the kiosks in any way. Yes I realize this is anecdotal but its also an observation that's been made over the many months since the program's inception.

Those smug, snarky devs are only trolling themselves. Yes, I DO WANT to have that kind of visibility into the updates that they want to install on my phone. I want to know all the things, dammit! They can hide it behind a [+] and only show "various bug fixes" to the masses, but I want the details.

It drives me nuts that the vast majority of my apps churn for months with no meaningful update in the "whats new" area whatsoever.
> I honestly though(t) Glass would have done better if it had no recording capabilities built-in. It would have substantially reduced the creepiness factor.

Outside of the tech community this is a distinction I imagine few would make - most people upon seeing a camera are going to not unreasonably assume it can record. I still see large numbers of people taping over their laptop webcams even when they are turned off.

I think the simpler explanation is that strapping a camera to your face is simply inappropriate or off-putting in some social settings for many people.

>Believe it or not that is how companies use to operate till recently. Most companies didn't even have guides/books/web pages on culture.

This is because whether or not a company acknowledges it, a culture does exist and whatever that culture looked like had real impact. I agree that companies often take it too far, and a company saying it's culture is one way doesn't mean that it's entirely accurate. But it's generally better to be explicit about your culture if you can be so that employees have realistic expectations.
Article is a little misleading... you don't need "extensive modification" to use a Model F keyboard with a modern computer... the Model F AT keyboard can plug directly into a PS/2 port and be used as-is:

https://deskthority.net/wiki/IBM_Model_F#IBM_Personal_Comput...

This article seems to be about a business that is actually re-engineering the Model F to be more modern... which is certainly interesting and impressive, but the article is a little misleading.

One really nice feature of these keyboards is that they use capacitance sensing to detect when a key is actuated, instead of a matrix of columns and rows, so there is no ghosting effect when multiple keys are pressed. If you disassemble the keyboard you can actually type right on the PCB with your fingers like a touchpad.

Emptying the trash slows down the machine a lot so other processes are suffering.

That's like judging a piece of literature based on typography and paper quality. Not that those don't matter, but they are secondary. The beauty of this code is in the algorithm it implements and in the mechanical sympathy it exhibits -- not its formatting.
Of course it does. A trader (not an investor) is incentivized to wait to the last possible moment when he can still expect a fill. This is why exchanges disseminate auction imbalance information, to attract people to the auction prior to its completion.
I still don't get what you're trying to say.

Who is "skimming a tiny bit of cash off of every trade"? Do you buy into the notion that HFT is somehow so fast that it can travel back in time and jump ahead of orders that have just executed?
Good luck most code reviews are a waste. People arguing over where brackets should be when the whole architecture is shit. And half the time there's no justification for an decision.
I was talking mainly about duplicity which has always been like pulling teeth.
I work with Microsoft stuff every day, but I didn't know the little registry trick at the end, so that's handy.
Most brokers charge some all-in commission per share to clients. If you take away the rebates, brokers will simply raise commissions to compensate. Whether a fee is passed through or not is irrelevant. Brokers don't pass through direct costs of exchange licenses, servers, development time on their algos, etc. but clients still end up paying for them.

Odds are clients like the current system because they know exactly how much executing a 100k share block will cost in commissions. If they didn't, there are plenty of competitive equities brokers who will offer pass-through pricing.

And saying the shortest queue is best makes no sense. Most exchanges with short queues have laughably low market share. The lines are short for a reason, because they get serviced more slowly. Otherwise it'd be free money for fast HFTs to fill those lines up and get trades before someone on another exchange.
Ah, thanks for the explanation. I found the "clickbait" bit to be a leap (though you weren't the only person to say so). This is how I really feel about it. I wish I felt like I had enough of a choice in the matter to say "oh well, that was a mistake." If I felt like I did have a choice, no, I wouldn't recommend it.
This sends a clear message to all would-be assailants: wait at least a day after your planning is complete.

Hololens is really for AR, Glass is more for "HUD" type applications. Glass doesn't have a way to track the real world or align it with your view the way Hololens does.

Glass is basically just a tiny phone on your glasses.
I think that's about half right. A 0.5% tax on all equities trades, which is what Bernie was proposing, would put a bunch of HFTs out of business basically overnight and at the same time dramatically increase costs for investors via 1) the tax (obviously) 2) wider spreads 3) reduced liquidity.
As well as making the current bids invisible, you can reduce the auction times considerably - once per second, for instance.
I don’t want anything in particular, just speaking to the earlier post (speaking on a Bernie Sanders proposal, I think).

The “thesis” is that by putting a small tax on transactions, you will decrease the profitability of trading strategies that involve trading securities many times therefore discouraging them.

Liquidity is a trickier concept. I’m not sure if it has a consistent measurement definition. If you define liquidity as turnover or something close, then lowering trading frequency lowers liquidity by definition. How that affects liquidity in the practical sense for a “regular” investor is an uncertainty. It’s hard for me to imagine that a trader that holds stock for an average of 1 year will have more trouble getting in or out of Google stock, but maybe I’m wrong.
I remember somebody at Microsoft explained the trash in Windows to me in a similar way. The problem is that from observation it doesn;t seem to work that way....
I'm not OP but I sympathize:

> Who said this, specifically? What is your point in bringing it up?

Sanders. The point in bringing it up is to point out the irony that Wall Street already does this behind the scenes, but people called the Senator crazy for proposing it.

> I'm getting the sense that you'd be in favor of this - can you tell me why, in your own words, you believe we should be trying to "recoup value" from the activities of high frequency traders?

Shortest terms I can put this is: our country needs the money that Wall Street siphons off of the economy. We need more government money to educate, house, feed, and care for people. High frequency trading, unlike traditional investment, is not a "mom and pop" thing, it's a tool only accessible to the wealthy to enrich themselves. Thus, we should disincentivize it in order to generate tax revenue and discourage practices that are not accessible to shareholders.

Wait, isn't that the same person in both videos? In that case, this is just a marketing spot demonstrating how it "could" work, not an "A/B test".
Its not dead. But like any other maturing industry there are now scale advantages. Firms will merge and market making can go back to being the boring activity it has always been.
One immediate problem -- this is how these systems are made to function. It's not like the kickback is happening behind the back of the operators of the exchanges. It's not "hacking" to follow the rules as they're laid out.
TLDR is that models will become more abstract (current pattern recognition will blend with formal reasoning and abstraction), modular (think transfer learning, but taken to its extreme - every trained model's learned representations should be applicable to other tasks), and automated (ML experts will spend less time in the repetitive training/optimization cycle, instead focusing more on how models apply to their specific domain).

Didn't help that the only people who did/could/would buy the first glass prototypes were nerds who apparently started using them in bars and clubs. That solidified its image as "creepy".

Contrast it with Spectacles, a product designed to record as much as possible. But since it was marketed/targeted towards "cool" people, it never got the creepy trait.
