BRIEF: The code round cannot really be a differentiator. It should be used as an elimination round and carry grades to next rounds.

REASON: Some people might want to do a bare minimum (because they are busy) and other who have more space can go overboard. It might be normalizing at your end, but you are ignoring that all test takers will not treat the test alike (its not a SAT for them).

DETAILS:

hmm what will a 4-8 hour coding challenge tell you that an open source project wont? If you give someone a coding challenge, possibly these are the things that you would rate the submission on. An open source project can equally show below.

1. Codeing test - Basic solution

a. Bare bone working application
b. Breaking complexities into testable parts
c. Usage documentation or a read me file
d. Commenting in code

Bonus points: for using any interesting algo

2. Architecture test - Improves over the basic solution (faster, more maintainable, etc)

a. Importing data
b. Database design
c. API design
d. Adding testcases

3. Product thinking - Improves over the problem statement

a. Building on top of the scope

4. Misc. (... stretching it a bit more)

a. Did I learn something new doing it? - tech wise, product wise, etc
b. How much time do I allocate for it?
c. When do I allocate time for it?
d. Is it similar to any older project, etc...?

((I had these listed somewhere in the mail))

That has to be even more depressing if Instagram users are still using the IG app more with the effort SNAP is putting into the content.

Syrian activist Bassel Khartabil executed in 2015, wife says
The equivalent of "while (true) {}" depends on how you want to reduce your Turing program to the type system.

For example, you could translate "the Turning program yields 1" as "the types are valid", and anything else (0 or nontermination) as "the types are not valid".

So "while (true) {}" would correspond to invalid types. And a sufficiently smart interpreter/runtime could conclude that "while (true) {}" does not yield 1, just as a sufficiently smart complier could conclude the type constraints are not met.

But no interpreter (and no compiler) would be able to reach a correct conclusion in all cases.
It’s been a side project?
I think Firefox Klar is only available in Germany on the Play Store. Focus has telemetry off by default but it still uses GMS and Google Analytics.
This is wholly offtopic in a thread about Bassel Khartabil , who has never been "orchestrating these violent aggressive self serving actions"

Discrepancy between actual code structure and indentation is susceptible to diagnosis by machine. That's the beauty of having a bit of redundancy in the representation.

Recent GCC now has a warning for indentation that doesn't match code structure. (Had to recently patch a breakage in GNU Binutils in an embedded distro due to this being a -Werror).
>>Just because society doesn't explicitly discriminate against women doesn't mean that it's not telling women that they should be interested in princesses and fairies instead of legos.

In my whole life I haven't faced a single situation where parents literally force a doll on their daughter instead of a Lego Kit. You are over stating the whole problem.

>>This is entirely parents projecting gender norms onto their kids.

Kids are not bots that you train them. Acceptance into peer groups is a major factor, and most kids gravitate to what friends around them are doing, or they go to friends whose area of interest attracts them.

Also I'm not a great fan of forcing things on kids. People should do what they are interested in, else it creates meaningless pressure and kids are generally slotted and forced to make up to unrealistic expectations from parents.

Here in India, this is a huge problem where every single parent wants their kids to get into STEM. Most don't want to and when they do bad at school and exams, they have to face routine humiliation among social circles and peer groups as losers. Many are driven to suicide. These people will do way better in other walks of life and must be allowed to.

>>The expectation was that an upper class woman would be educated so she could marry well, not for work.

As an Indian where social norms are similar to an extent this is not only ok, but rather even preferable.

If you look at how life unfolds here, there is massive pressure on men to be efficient and provide for their families to the best of their abilities. This not easy, forget about all this empowerment new age talk, in reality most men slog away whole life, working insane hours, doing weekends and working very difficult conditions to make it happen.

This is hard for women to do for many reasons beyond the scope of this discussion. Given this, financial security becomes way more important than making up to virtue signaling from other people. Hence marrying a rich spouse that can provide for life is more important than making careers in our culture.

For most men here, things don't feel like freedom and empowerment. Its a swim through an ocean of hellfire to provide for families.

I would be more than happy to sit at home and be oppressed. And let women have all this empowerment. But deep down everybody knows what the real deal is, which is why no one signs up for something like this.
I don't get it. It's not like users are forced to use these applications. If users like Instagram more than Snapchat, they're bound to use it longer (which the article seems to imply). Hence, the metric.

There's a statistic that the US population is growing because of children of immigrants.
The thread is definitely making a mountain out of a mole hill. Its providing networking opportunities, not selecting an actual person to be married off.
Strong gun laws have, in fact, stopped most mass killings in places that have them. Not entirely, obviously (the mass attack on the Bataclan theatre and elsewhere in Paris in 2015), but these are exceptions.

In the U.S., there have been more than one mass shooting every month in 2017 even under the most ridiculous definition (4+ people killed, indiscriminately, in a public place; this would not include someone who killed 5 people in a targeted manner). Using a looser definition (4+ people killed or injured), there have been almost 7 per week in the U.S.

There have been far fewer than that in Canada. In Toronto, there have been 26 murders total, and perhaps two “mass shootings” by either definition. The main mass shooting story in Canada this year is the terrorist attack on the mosque in Quebec. In the U.S.? Too many to say that there’s a main one (although the attack on the Congressional baseball game will probably be the one that gets talked about).

Not sure if it's taught anywhere per se, but in many arenas it becomes habit. "Do you know what time it is?" "Yes." "Can you tell me the time?" "Yes." "What time is it?" "11:30".
From personal experience, this has been the most effective pitch. Selling yourself as a potential high value deal based on "below market rents".

It was a lot easier to move around the country and commute ranges were greater after WWII due to the enhanced infrastructure and greater number of personal automobiles. This and the improved economy after the war had some big effects on society.
Wow. I've seen these on my feed and was sure (until now) that they were just jokes. Or maybe they are, and young kids just react differently.

Some services, like AWS Redshift do not allow multi-AZ deployments.

Not very helpful when Redshift didn't have a single note in their status page for 30+ minutes after it went down.

Any bets on whether the status page will show up as Red for EC2/Redshift tomorrow? I'll take 100 to 1 odds for $1 that it won't be red.
People with Coinbase accounts effectively had an IOU in the amount of X BTC.

After the fork, people with Coinbase accounts still have an IOU in the amount of X BTC.

What funds were lost?

Are you claiming that if I owed someone X BTC before the fork, I owe them both X BTC and X BCH afterward?
This incorrectly presupposes that the US judicial system's goals is to not convict innocent people, when in fact its goal is to perpetuate class warfare using tools derived from a system to enslave Black people after non-prison slavery was abolished in the 1860s.
B73 hybrid maize was bred to be resistant to herbicides primisulfuron and imazethapyr, for starters.

I recommend you read up on the long history of hybrid crop breeding in the U.S. during the 20th century, if you actually are genuinely interested and not just trying to hold onto an untenable opinion about GMO technology.
In what way is that inaccurate? The ad hominem only tells me that maybe it is indeed correct.
I go by the outage reports published by AWS. I haven't done an exhaustive analysis but there is a trend to support the common knowledge. I spend most of my time in us-west-1 and us-west-2 and very few if any outages over the past 3 years.

This comment comes across as kind of paranoid and delusional.

There is no way that gene editing will give you "control over the environment" or that we need to start interfering with embryos to win some kind of non-existent arms race. Where is the evidence to suggest that these "super intelligent" children will grow up to ignore borders etc?

One doesn't have to be religious to feel as if some of these ideas are ethically questionable.

There is nothing wrong with the children we have today, we just don't look after them or their environment properly. Super smart children won't do much good with us for role models.
"sourcing" in this context means "identifying and referring candidates" not making an official commitment.

> The only way I could see thoughts and concepts being property, is if human law defines reality.

IP isn't thoughts and concepts, it's expressions and concrete applications, and “property” is a legal relationship; human laws don't define reality, but they do define legal relationships.
This is fixed by creating new services and/or fixing regulation where needed. A good example of that is TranferWise which turned what used to be a horrible fee laden process into something as simple as fairly priced as it can be.

We took the RBAC "hit" in 1.6. This mostly involved grokking the Role/RoleBinding and ClusterRole/ClusterRoleBinding details first. After that it was primarily a matter of updating a slew of Helm charts. Ones that we maintain for ourselves, and several community charts that had yet to be updated.
1) It's TechCrunch, so when you say "people", your talking about tech journalists.

2) Minutes per day is highly correlative to the amount of inventory of ads that you can display to users. More time spent on platform = more money you can potentially extract. Given that time is limited, there is only a finite amount available to competing platforms, so it is actually an interesting metric to track (it combines both opportunity of TAM and individual revenue opportunity).

3) There's no misalignment when you don't pay for something you use. This should obvious to you or anyone else that uses free online services by now.
The Board of Directors is charged with overseeing the conduct of the business.

Whilst I've only held board memberships in Australia I expect it's a concept that translates somewhat to other countries.

Board members can be held personally responsible for the misconduct of a company (criminally as well as civilly).
I completely agree but think it's a losing battle. With some exception, I feel that there is a disconnect between people who are naturally technical, and the people who are typically making decisions at companies about where to allocate spending. It tracks the same dilemma with technical people not viewing risk the same way as non-technical stakeholders. Non-technical people usually make decisions that value long term support, data security, compliance, actual live support plans etc., mainly because they know they can't deal with issues the same way technical people can. This creates an entire billion dollar industry that's fundamentally disconnected from how technical people normally think or value software. The fact that one semi-enterprise client has no problem paying thousands per month for a lackluster product/basic IT support, but a multi-million dollar startup won't pay $100/month or a developer making $100k/year+ still uses an unlicensed copy of their IDE ($20 sublime etc) only proves the point more.

It's a fundamental issue but one I think will get better as building software becomes more inclusive and normal in society/schools etc.

Sorry for the labels, just trying to make a point and share what my experience had been, from seeing both sides.
The anecdote in question occurs in Japan.

Brazil has a wealth of resources --unbelievable, more than Mexico perh but yet they continue to do worse than middling -socialists didn't improve Brazil one bit despite being in power over two decades.

They should look to Chile. A can do country. One which almost went socialist but avoided it and came out doing pretty well for itself.

The problem with those counties is that the whether they go communist or socialist or any dictatorship is that the caudilo mentality permeates everything. Same behavior in the Caucasus region. Mexico has been ravaged by this mentality --their economy was pretty much on par with European countries outside the big five in the early 1900s --but caudiloes happened.

Still being an absolute beginner at lispy syntax, I'll have to ask you the same question though.

While I see the awesomeness in threading macros, I'm usually left pondering a while on where the result actually goes in the next s-expression. How long did it take you to get used to that? Would you prefer someting like `as->` for readability?
Social welfare is not socialism.
Sure, and just like with grain and other staples dairy is a massive, profitable industry with public and government lobbying organizations, like the one you linked. I'm not picking a fight with you and have no qualms with dairy consumption, I'm just saying your sources are potentially just as biased as the wheat based food pyramid. If you're trying to convince people milk is healhy there's better options. And as far as necessary for civilization, it's not like every human society in history emerged cultivating cattle.
So then you swap in another one of the dozen open source message buses out there.
This is why the 12-hour clock system, with its inherent ambiguities mustn't be used when noting the time actually matters. If someone's going to use the 12-hour notation they should use the verbose "noon" and "midnight" terms instead of "12".
It's in part patents. My understanding is that btrfs does not get around them.

I second Calendly. We at Reamaze use Calendly to schedule our demos to customers, and I strongly recommend you do the same too for demos / phone calls.

All of codegeek's points make sense, especially automation, getting a good helpdesk (we can hook you up @ https://www.reamaze.com), and hustling. I wouldn't worry too much about perfecting documentation, unless it's an integral part of your project, like if you're heavy on your customers using your APIs.

Customers initially are going to be hard to come by, so every single potential lead that lands on your site and contacts you are extremely important. Always follow up on customers, as soon as possible. Keeping up a good rapport with them especially those that are using your project, would help immensely when time comes to get them to do some co-marketing with you.
Also, please reconsider your decision to feature Google and Facebook as prominently as "featured employers". If it's for security, maintenance, and janitorial work, it's more practical to list the agencies that they hire temps from. Otherwise, look no further than nearby East Palo Alto and one will find that neither company particularly cares about rehabilitating ex-offenders or people from at-risk communities for any type of technical employment.

The general rule with Silicon Valley and San Francisco companies is to take everything they say in public or through their carefully worded P.R. with a grain of salt, and actually find out first hand if they practice what they preach hiring outliers with respect to diversity, records/credit/etc, non-Ivy League degrees, etc.

The cost of starting a company is also declining. So there is an offset there - In early stage the big outlier in SV is rent. However, most other aspects are getting considerably cheaper (including cloud platforms being very generous with credits)
I think I understand cluster roles and bindings, my biggest thing is that I was using a bunch of off-the-shelf helm charts (for spinnaker, k8s dashboard, and deis workflow especially) and all three stopped working with RBAC. Those have been an...adventure to fix.
Swift is likely to adopt it but it a much more measured way, since everything is `shared_ptr` by default in that language. Relatively few languages have the combination of requirements and goals that makes Rust's approach obligatory and necessary.

So if it's successful we should see more of it but...we won't necessarily see many languages where it is as all-pervading as Rust.
Metrics exposed by instagram is a pure scam aka growth hacking by fb engineers as their comp is aligned towards that.

Snapchat: Stories are not autoplay. You touch and see the story you're interested in and the view closes. You have to scroll and open another story.

Instagram: Stories are autoplay. You click once and it's a slideshow. So you can assume metric here are orders of magnitude higher than what it should be.

Snapchat: Story introduced a new revenue source without affecting bottomline.

Instagram: Stories at the top of the app is a very bad user experience. If an users spends more time in story, he spends less time in scrolling instagram feed. (Nobody in Instagram wants to talk about that).

Snapchat: People post whenever they feel like posting.
Instagram: People post when they feel something is of very high quality.

Snapchat: Doesn't want to grow the number of users as it doesn't matter to company's revenue. FB makes 75-80% of revenue with just it's 10-20% of users which snapchat already own.
Exactly.

The only argument you can make is Coinbase not givint a "reasonable" amount of foresight to users (who would pressumble have the right of advanced time/knowledge to convert to USD, etc and then back to BTC (on another "exchange").

I have no idea is this is true or not, but this is the only criticism of Coinbase you can have here.
If you decide to run with the RBAC authorizer, tools like kubeadm run the control plane components with credentials that have the required permissions out of the box. If you're using your own deployment/setup, you'll want to consult https://kubernetes.io/docs/admin/authorization/rbac/#core-co... to either give standard user/group names to your components, or grant the appropriate roles to custom user/group names.

Once your control plane is running, granting API access to other apps that need it is typically a matter of creating a service account, setting that service account in the pod spec, and granting the service account a role with sufficient access. See https://kubernetes.io/docs/admin/authorization/rbac/#service...

Finally, if you're upgrading an existing cluster, and want to turn on RBAC authorization, there are tips at https://kubernetes.io/docs/admin/authorization/rbac/#upgradi... for easing the transition.
Why would Snap not want to grow the number of users?
I don't buy a simple reliability narrative. I'm going to go with household income / cost divergence with a heavy salting of currency devaluation on top as "the real reason".
