Hard pass. It requires an account to use. You can sign in using GitHub creds but I don't know enough about it to trust it.

College: tried to kill myself freshman year. Dropped out for 1.5 years.

Came back, first-author on an important paper in a top-tier journal as an undergrad, gone through a series of machine learning research jobs (I've worked on thing you've used). I've got a great group of friends and am living well.

The two years off entailed a lot of time working as an outdoor educator, plus heavy duty psychotherapy and lots of medication. Got off the medication a couple years after I went back.

Turns out that building trusting and warm relationships and figuring out how to connect and care for others is really really important? I think the suicide attempt stemmed largely from not being able to adjust to having friends that cared about me as a person. I've spent a lot of time recovering the ability to trust.
If that's the case, I probably wouldn't make it public either if I were you.

So this headline obviously has broad room for interpretation. It is simply not feasible to dump the ICE in 5 years across the lineup. I would guess that a sizable percentage would be mild hybrid, which is kind of the only way to hit some of the forthcoming emissions/MPG/Km/L targets while maintaining the type of "performance" that ICE have given in recent years. Im not sure how I feel about it, as it really just means that cars are going to get a lot more difficult to fix and possibly end up in the junkyard sooner. If battery tech improves enough to allow for a near "refuel" experience, that is the sea change. I am all for this, but if this never comes, the switch to electric cars will likely either be forced by legislation or end up a 30-50 year process.

It's not about them being late these 3 days. It's about them lying about having already implemented this months ago.
Tests are formal.
Which means there's a lot less room for ambiguity, and that you can check an implementation for nearly zero-cost.

I'm sure you can guess what the following function does by only looking at the following (incomplete) test suite:

assertEquals([], f([], []));

assertEquals([1,2,3,4], f([1,2,3,4], []));

assertEquals([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8], f([1,2,3,4], [5,6,7,8]));

assertEquals([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8], f([1,3,5,7], [2,4,6,8]));

assertEquals([1,2,3,4,5], f([1,2,3,5], [4]));

... now, imagine the same test suite, but with the name 'f' replaced with 'mergeSortedLists'.

By the way, I don't get how your example actually proves your point: you're basically saying that tests "done incorrectly" could be harmful. So what?
Military Resumes Exposed in Data Breach Involving AWS Data Stores
Seems like a perfectly reasonable thing to do, since MB only makes ~2 performance oriented cars at this point, and neither of those are particularly strong competitors against the other other options at those price points.

Overall, no big loss for the car community, and maybe a little more competition against Tesla directly will help.
Knock about $200 a month off the Tesla lease for TCO based on Delta between electricity cost in petroleum fuel cost.

In Chicago, I pay $0.01/kwh between midnight and 5am; its essentially free to charge my Model S (it's slightly more at my place in Tampa, ~$0.06/kwh at all hours).

> As such the University is selling a defective good to the parents

The university is selling a possibly "defective" good to the student. The parents are gifting money to the student to pay for that service.
If you think that's bad, I was this guy[1].

tl;dr:

1) Interviewer insists that an operation must be n^2 "because it has a nested loop" even though the nested loops are only iterating over their own subset of the master string.

2) Interviewer refuses literally any test that would help decide which of us is right.

3) Interviewer turns out to not even understand the concept of resolving disagreements by appealing to agreed-upon facts, insisting that he would only be convinced by the absence of a nested loop (i.e. talking about some other algorithm).

4) Interviewer is five-year backend lead.

5) Interviewer vetoes me from the rest of the process purely because of that disagreement.

6) Because I thought I was going insane, I implemented it at home and ran the problem with different sizes and the run time with up as O(n) like clockwork.

If the bank or government forecloses on my mother's house, I can shoot whoever comes to take ownership?

That's clearly not a relevant analogy.

Why does the concept of "ancestral property" somehow suddenly make violence acceptable to you.

Look, it was the person above me who was saying, basically, that it was the miners' violence against the tribespeople that was "acceptable" (paraphrasing, but that's what they basically said). So perhaps you should take up this line of discussion with them, instead.

All I'm saying is - if you knowingly invade territory known to be inhabited by an "uncontacted" community -- that is to say: by definition, a fully sovereign community, and not bound by any treaties with your own government -- and you don't expect the same kind of response (i.e. violent) any self-respecting community would make when not just their land, but their very survival comes under direct attack -- then at the very least, you're pretty damn naive.

And on top of that, it becomes really, really hard to see why you might deserve any sympathy.
> we're going to end up with a public-subsidized automatic-pilot public transit network of Uber cars.

Yes please! It seems obvious that this would be the most efficient mode of transit, effectively turning streets into point-to-point conveyor belts.
I have a CLA250 loaner while my Model S is in the shop, and the drivetrain is just amazingly atrocious. Now, it's not fair to compare it to a Model S, but a Model 3 has a similar price to the CLA250 but will drive like the Model S. (I have an 85, not one of the crazy performance models. Its published 0-60 is about the same as the Model 3's.)

After driving an EV for a while, this Mercedes feels like the accelerator is hooked up to the engine through the postal service. You push the accelerator and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and finally the car starts to go.
I can relate to that a lot. It's gonna be a helluva story for both of us when it's all said and done.

I'm 27. 114 days without drinking or pot. about 2 months without meat. 10 days without buying a pack of cigs. almost debt free.

Moved back home at the end of May to focus on recovery. I was out in Utah for a coding bootcamp, got kicked out halfway through for smoking weed when my roommate (a gay ex-mormon) told on me because he didn't like that I was doing well there (he went through my room while I was in Moab and told the police where I kept my weed), got a full refund because I still got a job without their help. Worked at a sketchy startup for a few months, learned a lot about what I wanted and shattered a lot of my misconceptions about the tech industry. Started working as a developer at a hosting company after but the company laid off 1000 people including me right after I signed a lease. They fired me before I got any severance because I came in hungover one day. Led to more drinking and smoking, really fucked me up inside feeling like a recurring fuck up.

Using everything I learned in Utah to start an agency. Got a few quality clients now ranging from a film composer in Hollywood, a fitness model from Miami, a dog clothing company, a Native American photographer. Going to AZ to see the Grand Canyon next week, then Colombia for an ayahuasca retreat in October to heal from PTSD from childhood trauma.

Saving up for an SUV, better camping gear, and going to work remotely next year as I explore North America. Going to be a 'creative developer' and nature photographer at the same time.

I'm giving the money to the school, not to him to give to the school. The mechanics of this are perhaps irrelevant, except that the school offers this option for me to get his grades sent to me by them, similar to how I give the money to them.

My "attitude" is that I told him I would pay for his school if I got to see his grades. Pretty simple. I'd be happy not to pay and not see his grades -- I'm not his parent, and for my own kids (while this is further into the future), if they can pay for school without my help then I don't think I should know anything they don't want to tell me.
I think you have the cause and effect inversed.

The standardization of HTML was a cause of the reduction of power by the monopolist, not an effect. Microsoft only started playing ball when their marketshare had been dropping for a while.

If you force Facebook into a standards group, they'll delay as much as they can (question the legitimacy of certain members, criticize the methodology, etc), and then they'll veto anything except a protocol that is both hard to implement for small players but also very limited, and then they'll have plausibly deniable "bugs" in the implementation.

Don't get OP's analogy. Does he mean CSS?

While CSS can sometimes be nerve-racking it's the most modern layouting system. There was a reason that the React Native team chose CSS' Flexbox for their layouting system.
Cautionary aspect: detecting mild and/or very long term deleterious effects of nootropics/drugs is extremely difficult empirically. Something like e.g. caffeine has been put through the ringer historically both empirically and in terms of secondary anecdotal cultural awareness (if that counts for anything.) But something relatively niche like this can't hope to have the necessary resources allocated to it for sufficient study.
Facebook and real estate developer pitch lawmakers on faster environmental review
I would have liked to hear more from them on how the hybrid approach helped them with sharing stuff with Android.
Exactly. For some contrast: I use tinydns, which doesn't natively support CAA records. But I wanted them so I read the CAA spec and wrote a little tool to add support for these records using the generic record format. And I'm not even a programmer! (I can write a little code, nothing serious, and nobody would hire me for it.)

And yet with all of Comodo's resources, they couldn't get this done? I can't take them seriously.

> Strange how the US healthcare setup is largely unchanged over many years, yet the general perception is that it's suddenly total chaos.

It's been horrible for a long time (and there's been outrage for a long-time: while it got derailed and we got nothing out of it but HIPAA, the bad state of healthcare and plans to reform it were central to the Clinton campaign in 1992—and while Clinton tried for a complicated scheme involving insurance companies, polling showed majority support for single-payer even then; the ACA is often pointed out to be a copy of Romneycare in Massachusetts, but what is less commonly pointed out is that both are copies of something proposed by the insurance industry and embraced by the Republican Party as a desirable national reform direction shortly after Clinton's reform effort failed, because even then it was widely perceived that something had to be done.)

No, we've been in a crisis for more than a generation.

Somewhat relatedly - when a new technology wave gets started, it's usually proprietary, because there are big competitive advantages that can be had by being the only one with possession of a new technology. As details leak out and enterprising independent hackers get interested, commodity or open-source clones emerge, and they get much wider distribution simply because they're cheap or free. The original innovator is caught flat-footed, loses mindshare, and eventually has to adopt the open-source solution when it becomes dominant in the open-source world.

Altair -> Apple -> IBM -> Dell & clones. UNIX -> System V -> BSD -> Linux. MapReduce -> Hadoop. GMail -> Closure Compiler -> Traceur -> Babel. Google datacenters -> AWS -> Docker -> Kubernetes.

I dropped out of school at 15 with no significant paperwork and ended up cleaning toilets and operating rooms at my local hospital for several years; and it sucked.

All I've learned is that, really regardless of what's going on in your life, if you have any reasonable skill/experience in our industry then rock bottom doesn't really apply to us like it does to others. These days the worst thing that would happen would be falling back to a a 6 figure permie salary somewhere doing some boring work.

There is no easy way to 'make it'; I can't speak for those who started out in our industry with a good education an an internship, but in my experience if you're capable, willing to do the bullshit work (years of datacentre work, helldesk, miserable corp ops etc) things will eventually happen. Move around. Get involved in projects. I'm always happy to pull people forwards in their careers.

Lots of people will call themselves lucky (certainly, I consider myself fortunate to have been given the opportunities which helped me escape such a life) but I think that's not really the full story. There's always a comeback, and there's always going to be a basic living available to you if you have our kind of skills.

I went to univ. in the USA. My father paid most of my term bills, and not once asked me to talk about how school was going. I screwed up my first semester, realized I was wasting a bunch of money, and straightened myself out. My state university never contacted them even though I was clearly on the path of failing. HUGE life lesson, maybe one I'd avoid if I had a parent that was more involved with my schooling, but I certainly learned a lot about why it's important to apply yourself.

So, at least in the 2000s, it wasn't established at my particular State University to contact parents.
Perfectly summed up.

I worked as an intern at a factory while at university studying computer science. All the process machines were computer controlled, along with office computers for accounting and material control. Despite having a workforce of 200, there were only 2 IT guys there - 1 sysadmin, 1 developer, and I was slotted between them.

I was given a year-long development project, but during lulls in the activity, I was able to help both guys with their work, and in doing so, found several long-suspended projects the sysadmin had wanted to implement. I was able to kick some of these into gear; for one of them, a virtualisation project, I wrote a design document in my own time, presented it with projected costs to the CEO and was given the okay to start it. We built the platform (ESXi) on time and under budget, and there were a lot of immediate benefits. I was able to retire half the servers in the server room.

It all really boiled down to trust; I was given the keys to the kingdom at that job, with domain admin access to do tech support, and not only did I get to play with some cool technology, I was able to implement stuff that made people's lives easier - I built a Windows Deployment Server (another long mothballed idea) which brought our workstation build time from 6 hours (fresh install of XP plus post-install updates, not even slipstreamed, then install software manually) down to 15 minutes (deploying the pre-built image over PXE). I do believe I left the place in a better state than when I joined, but it was quite bittersweet - I came to realise I'd probably never be trusted with that kind of power over the company infrastructure again.

My first real job, I was a tiny cog in a global machine, and I couldn't deal with that. I lasted 3 months before quitting. My next job was in development, I stuck that for 3 years as it was predictable and fairly calm. I didn't enjoy it as much, but I needed the stability at the time. I moved into DevOps for a year, but my boss was an incredible micromanager who didn't trust people beneath him to do their jobs. After a year of being ignored and getting little work done, I lost interest.

I found another job, which I started last month. In contrast to my previous experience in long-established companies, I'm now working at a start-up as a sysadmin. And whilst the pace and the rapid hiring are really different to what I'm used to, I have some of that intern power again - my suggestions are taken on board, and I am trusted to do my job. I also get on very well with the people here, and they're coming to appreciate having someone to turn to for tech issues - previously, no single person was in charge of inventory or tech support, and now they can just ask me.

I think the intern job was the best of both worlds - the calm, predictable pace of an established firm, but with the startup-ish get-it-done attitude to IT work that stopped bureaucracy getting in the way. But I think I can deal with the fast pace so long as I can stay in control of my responsibilities.

Actually it's not a gift. If it was a gift, it would exceed the amount of money I can give him and would trigger taxes for him, and I'd need to give him _more_ money to pay those taxes.

I don't know how this works legally, but I do know (because I asked) that this isn't considered a gift according to the IRS.
I graduated from MIT 10 years ago and went to one of the last "cool" Steer Roasts my freshman year where the halls were inundated with drunk and drugged strangers invited randomly from the street even. Of course then later you find out some one or people got hurt but it's an afterthought to many who complain the school is infringing on their rights.

This "issue" around the culture at Senior house is a lot more pervasive than you imagine and to say the school has given them time is the understatement of the year. The issue really is the culture that freshman are inundated by every year. It's one thing to have this be practiced in your room or among your friends but the culture in the dorms at MIT tends to be much more in your face. One professor described such environments to actually be more conformist and that aligns with my experience.

I personally feel confident that the students can hold onto the good aspects of the culture through this transition. I don't think the school is obligated to perpetuate or support it either on their own property. I can't really speak for how they went about it thought because I wasn't following closely.
