A mixed bag. Questions like:

Tell me about your hiring process — how many rounds, how many interviewers? Is there anything special about your interview process I should know? Are coding interviews on a whiteboard or laptop? What resources do candidates have access to while coding? Assuming the process goes well, how long does your hiring process typically take? How long do candidates who are given offers have to decide on an offer?

are perfectly fine, because they're simple and objective, and can be immediately answered by the company (if they have their shit together on any meaningful level). But questions like:

What are you trying to figure out about a candidate in an interview? Why do you think your current process does that effectively? What biases have you decided to accept in your hiring process? Which are you trying to change?

would be a red flag, because really now, it's not like employers have huge swaths of time available to holistically explain the raison d'être of their hiring process and how it got that way. If anything it's the exact opposite -- if they company is successful, then their people have almost no time at all to wax philosophic which each and every candidate about such topics.

So to ask questions of the latter sort strikes me as a bit obtuse.
I think the "reasonably short increments" is a way to get acquainted and build shared trust. You may not be at your most productive but you substantially lessen the risk of working with someone who is bullshitting you if you start by taking small steps. You may feel that you cannot promise as much in a short increment as a mighty leap but if both of you deliver on short increment promises then you can take longer steps and then leaps together with much higher shared confidence.
Catalonia plots digital government in exile in bid for independence
It does not use git internally - other than for source code control - and it does not push to a remote bot. There used to be a demo app called ZeroBoard that used an external service that it did an HTTP POST too, back in the days when ZeroNet had not other way to do that type of thing. The app is still around but it's superceded by other things.
This isn't an assumption I would make immediately, but I am not a hiring manager, so I can see your point. Perhaps ask about how they choose to encourage inclusivity?

This only covers one aspect of managing diversity though. Other than practising active diverse hiring though, some companies are very active in diverse communities which naturally leads to diverse hires.

I think it is absolutely an important thing to try to delve into, but yeah, maybe try to be strategic about it.
It's feasible to use a light wallet on your phone (connect to an external server). There is already an Android app that does this: monerujo

Monero's blocks automatically scale, and transaction fees decrease as more transactions occur.

I agree with that, but I just think there should be some overarching platform / interoperability into which all these small pieces can fit. And also version pinning in package managers, where you manually check diffs and compatibility before upgrading anything.

>because what's the point of life if you don't share it with others?

That seems like an assumption created by social pressure. There are plenty of aspects that make life worthwhile that don't need to be shared.
Presumably, if you don't want to store some state on the server for a client, you can go stateless and store it only on the client but with MAC, so you can authenticate it. For example for session cookies.
according StackOverflow survey - Clojure developers are the most well paid in the industry. What a miserable failures they are.
They're implying that you are storing state in the client which sends that state back to your system in subsequent requests, e.g. an HTTP cookie. If doing so, make sure to use a MAC [0] to tell if the client has tampered with the state you stored.

Couldn't Twitter immediately improve "reputation" by having people display badges based on verified link to other accounts (social, whatever)? Maybe even take it as far as Airbnb does with the copy of your license.

I use Twitter daily, but mostly as a news feed, or with people I already know in real life. There is no point in engaging with a random person on Twitter, because it's quite often a bot or someone that wants a fight.
The entire point is to show him code an entire game in C from scratch without using libraries, for educational reasons. Given that, what would you like to change and why?
Sorry, but I'm not clear on what part of "You may not make threats of violence or promote violence" specifies it must be "illegal" violence. Part of the President's job may be to make threats and conduct violent actions against other nations. That doesn't change the fact that it violates the terms of use.

That kind of talk has no place on Twitter based on Twitters own rules that say no threats are allowed.
I prefer 1 alone or 3+ sized groups. I love pretty ladies but have little affection for infinitely needy paycheck spending helpers. I unite around non-fiction books, methods, live instrumental music, handmade food, tool mastery, architecture and preferably project execution or refined informed dialog.

I love talking to almost anyone working. But I never enjoyed the "with beer goggles everyone is funny and shares the favorite song and snack food identities." I don't watch TV so vast swaths of everyday banter creeps me out like a laugh track.

I have a hubristic desire to start well ordered and fed city monasteries free of TV, cars, booze and packaged food. Anyone can "have sex" or "watch the game" somewhere down the block out of the house. Cities are nice that way. A simple short weekly group reading and writing exercise keeps the illiterate criminals away. City costs of living are very low without cars, love nests and beach vacations. Overwhelming schedules of high culture is almost free in big cities. My nuttier idea is to fund it with both OSS and massage therapy contract work. We run a perpetual school and Kanban board for the hipster nerd monks.

I lived at a commune at Harvard. It was really lovely reading the WSJ, baking bread and playing bridge illuminated by stained glass windows. Sickness, aging and death take some assistance. The good life is not that hard. Samsara of householder life is hard.
I'm not sure what your definition of gimmick is, but 600+ hours and several years (so far!) of content sounds more like a labour of love. If you'd watched the series you'd realize this man loves, and is highly proficient at, programming.
One thing I've been contemplating is the extent to which feedback on twitter can alter a user's opinion or focus on a given topic.

Ex.

- make a bot network of 100 bots.

- identify some accounts, split them into control and experimental groups

- choose a topic, such as "NFL"

- every time someone in experimental group tweets something about the NFL, like or retweet it a dozen times from a random slice of your bots

- do this for a few weeks

- at end of few weeks, does experimental group tweet about NFL more frequently than control? Has the sentiment within their tweets gotten any more extreme?
I only came in to Handmade Hero after it had been going on for a while, and I followed it from the beginning episodically and made it about to the point where he starts talking about tiles and scrolling, then gave up.

Every now and then I pick up the current version of the code to see what it looks like, but there's no way I'm going to follow it through to the end. But for me, it does work as a reference for the various parts of the code he happens to be working on at the moment, and sometimes he stops to give a tutorial on something like basic 2d physics.

Watching the process overall is useful but if anyone is intimidated by the length of the stream I would suggest approaching it non-linearly.

He seems to have turned off comments on his Youtube stream, which I find disappointing. A lot of the value I've gotten from the early videos came from the comments people made either agreeing with, expanding on or disputing what was discussed.

> you don't actually understand it. Tell me, what is the meaning of 'survivorship bias'

If I don't understand the term, then what's the point of getting me to explain it? Explain it yourself if you think I have it wrong.

> Tell me, what is the meaning of 'survivorship bias' when we're talking about things which have lasted for significant periods of time, over many cycles?

O_o

My first comment was pointing out that the ancients believed in a lot of things that DIDN'T stand the test of time. If you're just limiting yourself to only those ideas which have survived and are making your conclusions from those, then you really are in no position to declare others ignorant of what survivorship bias means.

> I never claimed that an idea is better just because it was held earlier.

A strawman of your own, because I wasn't talking about individual ideas, but the concept that the ancients were more enlightened than today. I said in my original comment that some lessons come from them, but overall they weren't 'more enlightened'.
Not only are you assuming their gender/spousal preferences, but I feel this grossly simplifies the issue.

Not everybody needs a "wife" (maybe you should have said partner) and I'm not sure why you are assuming that would help the poster.

CMD+Shift+4 has always allowed you to take screenshots of any parts of your screen, (including your devtools), so curious why this is a feature in Chrome? Unless it's meant for Windows maybe where it's harder to take screenshots?
Clojure tracks and rollbacks the STM-bound variables according the STM rules; it is not intended to prevent you from doing other effects inside those transactions; you are supposed to have an understanding not to do that in the transaction blocks.

It helps a bit that most clojure datastructures are immutable/persistant by default.
Network effect/first mover is extremely important.
This security list is only a partial list, and it's not realistic for a busy programmer to cover everything well.

On the other hand, visual tools(low-code/no-code), sold in cloud based models(and probably grabbing a lot of money), are backed by teams of experts who do security well and don't expect the user to do any of it.

And as for tools take 100% of the security burden from the hands of the programmer - i haven't seen any.

So my conclusion is: where security will matter - visual tools will dominate.
If you didn't play it, and are into puzzle games, I strongly recommend you to try the Pushover reimplementation. I loved that one back in the DOS times, and the free clone contains may additional levels.
It's not on the stated list, but null pointers is a classic expedient unsafe shortcut for those too lazy to design a better type system. C is full of such shortcuts (c.f. Algol 68).

For some reason some people here seem to equate having social life with going on night long parties, for me social life is riding a bike at 6 am with my best friends and stopping for a cup of coffee along the ride and have a good conversation, playing soccer on weekends with a bunch of people. You don’t need to go dancing and drinking at 1 am at a night club to have social life.
It's not surprising to see this coming from a conservative. In fact, the whole conservative belief system is that society is not important and only individual attributes have any value. Pick any conservative original idea and you can pinpoint the moment when it tries to make the public/social irrelevant and the individual worthy and perfect.

Especially when it comes to science this view is stupid: there is no scientific knowledge that is based on individual achievement. Newton already knew this: "standing on the shoulders of giants". In isolation, the smartest person in the world wouldn't be able even to start grasping what we already have in terms of scientific development, and the situation is even worse for scientists of the future. Exactly the same can be said of most technology fields such as computing. The whole idea that there is any individual merit outside of participation in the scientific and technological community is just baloney.
He's an idealist and "too good" of a person and believes in people too readily to be a cutthroat business guy. I can see a situation where he'd be talked into a situation you describe, because he doesn't have a personality that first questions others' motives and agendas.

> Doing nothing can be as equally energising as time out spent with people, and is in fact necessary in order to recharge, says Pedro Diaz, CEO of the Workplace Mental Health Institute in Sydney.

Hmm, who's this guy?

> Driven by an obsession for better outcomes in workplace mental health, Pedro Diaz founded The Workplace Mental Health Institute as a boutique educational resource for managers serious about creating immediate and sustainable changes for their organisation’s mental health.

What's a "boutique educational resource"? That's a phrase I've never in my days encountered.

This article is stating nothing but the obvious: that living by a calendar maniacally filled to bursting is not the road to happiness.

> "We find that people who are dual-centric tend to be healthier, do better at work and do better at home," says Galinsky [co-founder of the Families and Work Institute].

"Dual-centric" apparently means "not monomaniacal."
Well, I’d love to see a way to set such a query planning cost target.

There’s a few statements which I never change, but run thousands of times a day, and which are extremely expensive.

I can’t even fathom the lack of self-awareness or empathy for other people in someone who would type such things with a straight face. You’re trolling, right?
I think the argument goes something like this. We fine people who text while driving because it’s a distraction, potentially leading to dangerous situations that might otherwise be avoided. Thus, if you kill someone while texting and driving, you at least share the responsibility because you were distracted by your phone. It’s also about the responsibility to watch where you’re going with your superfast two ton hunk of metal, and to ensure that you’re not endangering others with it.

It bothers me that dead cyclists are seen as an inevitability, that “accidents happen”, rather than as the result of irresponsible behaviour.
you are pretty much describing some Hindu or Taoist religious "retreats".

In India they are very accessible. People usually send kids with back problems, etc to those Yogi cities for a few months. Has a high success rate curing most things too.

...That said, they might even match your misogyny since yogi are male only.
I would argue that definition is far too broad. I would define anarchism as a society in which the amount of power that any person can have over another person is severely limited. Not only would government have to be greatly weakened, but property rights would have to be greatly weakened, corporations, churches, political parties and all kinds of other organizations would have to be broken up and democratized.

HBO's Silicon Valley is racist
Agreed. And Art's work on biomarker detection is conceptually valid, though subject to practical challenges similar to those vexing Theranos.

But Art's past association with Pauling, combined with his charisma and rugged good looks are systematically used to provide top cover for a grievance-oriented movement of cranks.

It's exactly the veneer of respectability that Bob Mercer needs to put these guys in political power. The urinalysis is a red herring.
I think you mean Tommy Refenes over Edmund McMillen.
During one of the happier periods of my life, I lived by myself in a small but very nice apartment. I had a girlfriend, but we didn't live together. We'd hang out on the weekends a lot and maybe one weeknight out of the work week.

I really found this to be an excellent balance. I had a space that I was proud of and had complete control over, eliminating entire categories of possible conflicts in life. I had plenty of time for my own pursuits. I was in a very meaningful relationship. I went into the weekends excited to see people, and I went into the workweek feeling socially fulfilled and ready to be productive.

This is a very difficult balance to maintain. Indeed, it's almost impossible. Most relationships either end or progress to the point of living together. In fact, most folks would say there's something "wrong" with a relationship if the couple has been together for years but chooses not to live together.

10 Lessons I Learned as a Startup Intern (Part 1)
Most bots that I've encountered on twitter "register" a bot by saying it's a bot in the profile.

The "up-to-no-good" bots do no such thing, of course.
This is why we need SSL certs for .onions. DigiCert was doing this, but they told me it is on hold. Maybe when V3 hidden services are out?

With an SSL cert, you get a cert for your .onion PLUS your clearnet domain. Then users can access the .onion and see your real enterprise's name.

This should be doable even for extrajurisdictional companies like mine. The key is that your clearnet site should be a TCP-level proxy to the hidden service. That way the SSL keys are never on an easily-discoverable system so only IP addresses can be logged, not any contents. Slight plug: Here's the tech design for our system: https://medium.com/@PinkApp/pink-app-trading-latency-for-ano... (ignore the clickbait title). This should work just fine for .onions too, even with the clearnet entry point. For a DarkNet Market, most small buyers are probably safe visiting over clearnet.
Forget sudoku – Japan has produced hundreds of other fiendish logic problems
IMHO I think that's only sort of true. I would also like to add something:

If you can, move the computation to the data and never take possession of it _or any equivalent_ such as _a credential that allows perpetual access to the data_.

A lot of the time, while it may complicate the conceptual part of development, it doesn't really complicate the implementation too terribly much and it also forces a kind of sane layering.

That said, we should really embrace the idea that it doesn't matter if it complicates development. Start with that premise and back off if and only if you cannot accomplish your goals.

The "or equivalent" thing is very important and does not get enough attention. I was evaluating a solution (a competitor) at one point that as part of installation required, and cached, an (active directory) domain administrator account name and password (obviously in reversible form). That's just crazy. It's begging for the product to be at the center of a complete compromise of the administrative systems of the customer.

I was in the same boat as you (moved from Canada to LA by myself). You have the right idea with yoga and cooking classes. I highly recommend a social dance class too. I've been doing salsa dancing for about 6 months now and it's a great way to meet new friends, especially those of the opposite gender. It's also nice to surround yourself with non-engineers too. Since you dance with everyone in the class you end up talking to everyone, unlike yoga (which I also love doing) where people tend to just get up and leave.

I was a hopeless dancer to start but after you go for about a month you get a hang of it. The only thing I regret was not joining sooner.

True. I’d like bot accounts to be marked as such. It’s annoyingly to see bot accounts as real accounts, folllowing 5k or 10k + accounts following or liking my tweet because of a specific keyword.

If twitter can fix that, it’ll be awesome.
I would think it's more pertinent to ask "is there an economic reason to allow a retail consumer to disable it". Most people don't know (or care) what Intel ME is, and some enterprises that buy machines with Intel CPUs want the management features. Companies aren't implicitly evil, they just don't have altruistic motives (generally). Which means that likely they didn't see it as having a good ROI.
This is not what you or I want to be the case, but even if that were solved -- Intel CPUs have a whole variety of other issues that extend beyond ME.

But all of that is missing the point that there is a way to disable it[1], with the HAP or AltMeDisable bits[2]. It's believed they were added for the US government to be able to disable Intel ME (after hardware initialisation). It's not easy (you have to reflash the firmware) because most vendor firmware doesn't allow "internal" flashing from userspace, but it is doable if you buy a $5 flash programmer and a Raspberry PI.

The insight may be to show why image recognition has turned out to be a fairly easy task for deep learning - because just discarding pixels (the right pixels, but still) gets you a very long way toward your solution. Other problems that a brain handles quite well may not yield to such a simple process/analysis.
The problem is not with C itself, the language is quite portable - until you hardcode platform specific includes such as windows.h, which in this case is redundant.
That's truly a brilliant variant of "What will it take to succeed in this role?" Fantastic!
