Anyone know if this is better in Alpine Linux with musl libc and smaller stacks?
At a previous job we had a nice test: show them a listing with some glaring bugs and ask to find bugs from the listing (buffer overflows, obvious memory leaks, printf format mismatch) Surprisingly this used to be a very hard filter, people are trained to write new code and do not know how to review code of others (or even their own stuff)
We wondered this too - we surveyed people who were installing f.lux for the first time about what they cared about - "eyestrain vs. sleep". 90% of people said better sleep, 60% said eyestrain. So both are important.

But imagine you get a job that requires you to be up at 8AM (and you want to take it). Do you have control of that part of your biology or does it have control of you?

The theory is that your environment is one of the major things controlling your biological timing, and the indoor spaces at least are ones we built so we should understand what it takes to change them.
i was told that c was a tough language and i was apprehensive to start with it in the beginning, i started learning it anyway and wondered what the fuss was all about? it seemed to be easy and i was able to follow without any problem. Mastering it with all undefined behavior,compiler quirks is a different story altogether. I would say give it a try and if you don't like switch to python.
I also feel it is easier to go from c to python than vice versa as it takes some time to get around manual memory management in c which is taken care of by the interpreter in python.
<sheepish grin> Autocorrect kicked and I did not notice. Let me leave it as it is for the comedic effect.
Well, I do want to care if it's async. I don't think it's a good design. Async keyword is making asynchronous code easier, but it's still asynchronous code with its pitfall, I think that hiding it under ordinary calls is a bad design.
Yes, but I mean to a far lesser degree than a dog. You get utility very quickly with a horse for very little trait selection. For example, you can get this far (no traits selected, completely wild, not feral) with a never-domesticated Przewalski's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovUGagVGiZ4
The Humble Indie Bundle also once only included cross-platform (Windows, Mac, and Linux) and DRM-free games. It was a huge impetus for a lot of Linux ports of indie games.
It's been 20 years now without any success. Maybe it's time to move on?
Of course you know those stories better than me. BTW, why do you assume they were innocent victims?
My experience is that Julia promotes lucid and error free code vs R (especially) and Python. For me this matters more and more due in part to the business impact of my 100 line scripts but more significantly due to the impact of other people's 100 line scripts.

A counterargument would be that the US government's job is to represent the people who pay taxes to it. Mexicans don't pay US taxes.

That and every major growth story involves some protectionism. China is very protectionist with the great firewall (protectionism for domestic tech) and capital controls. When the US industrialized in the late 19th and early 20th centuries we had protectionist policies.

The US may need a return to protectionist developing nation style policies for a period of time to reindustrialize. We have effectively third worlded our interior.
You're making me curious enough to want to see it. Would it fit in a post here or on a short gist?

Maybe because VW didn't 'literally' set 'fire to the world?'
The forager/garden-farm way of life and the monocrop agriculture way of life are mutually exclusive. The compulsory city-states that we associate with "civilization" depends fundamentally on taking over land for monocrops. The agro-forager way of life depends on managed biodiversity, with many interdependent species.

Thus throughout history you have the repeated pattern of displacement, slavery, genocide, "re-education" and oppression of foraging people and garden farmers by monocrop-powered militarized states. It's been a 10,000 year global war, and it is close to having been "won" by civilization. The losers, of course, are all indigenous people worldwide, as well as the basic livability of our planet and probably 80% of its species.

The irony, of course, is that monocrop agriculture isn't sustainable. It's had a good run, but we're coming up against some really tough limits soon. The Green Revolution bought some time, but it's probably going to be a very hard landing. All that biodiversity took millions of years to radiate, and only a short time to destroy. Human cultural diversity took 100,000-500,000 years to develop many different of ways of life, and only a short time to liquidate.

I only hold out hope that enough species, ecosystems and cultures are left to help guide civilization toward something sustainable. We can do this the easy way or the hard way.
There used to be big green feilds where people would fly their kites along the river in the Karlín neighborhood of Prague. The feilds were privately owned, but it was illegal to build on them, because they were seasonal flood grounds. Now, new and very fancy offices and appartments are being built there, despite the fact that we often have over a meter of floodwater there. I have no idea what changed. In the same neighborhood is an old rotting building called the Invalidovna [1], which was partly destroyed by flooding. It is about 200 meters from the shore of the river. Everything closer will be flooded even worse. This is an issue that is of great interest to me in the analysis of property rights. When the old building code was in effect, privately owned land was turned into a defacto public park. No one wanted the city to lose that park, but the private property was owned. Doesn't the owner have the right to do with their land as they please? But really, it is in the interest of no one except the owner that the owner should build there. Even the people who buy the appartments are getting screwed in a way.

And what is the fairness of declaring the land a flood plane in the first place. People owned that land before it was declared a flood plane. The government, with the stroke of a pen makes land worthless or worth millions. It is just one of those great examples of how capitalism is chaotic, unjust, and senseless and why we should never assume that someone deserves to be rich and others deserve to be poor.

You're overlooking the context, that's a bigger mistake.
It is kind of an extended research project... but I would say that it's looking complicated enough that we think all lighting will need some software to absorb that complexity in the future. So we are already doing a lot with measurement and other ways to sustain it.
Have you heard of Williams Syndrome? http://slatestarcodex.com/2016/10/11/somewhat-against-psychi...
Well I guess it will depend on where you draw the empathy line. Some people care only about themselves, they will look after themselves, if they have to choose they will always pick the option that benefits them.

Then you have the people who only care about themselves and their family, I guess a good percentage of the population will choose in favor of their family rather than someone's else.

Then people empathize with those who share things in common with them (culture, ideology, social status, race, nationality, religion) a kind of extended family.

Then you have people who think we should empathize with everyone around the world, but do they really?, if there was a chance where they have to decide between their children or some random dude in the other side of the world, who would they choose to help?

Is it fair? I don't think so. Would I rather help people who I empathize with? I would lie if I say no. I'm not a monster , I don't want a random guy to suffer, but there's something inside me that makes me look after my family first.

P.S. I'm from Mexico, and I live in a city whose economy depends on foreign manufacturing companies.
Agreed. I've been programming primarily in Scala the last few years, which has great high-level concurrency abstractions, and the code honestly stays readable and easy to reason about. We get the odd concurrency-related bugs, but they're reasonably rare, no more common than people screwing up things like time, text encoding, not properly using db indexes, etc.

Thread-based concurrency need not be overly scary. Any concurrency model will take some time to wrap your head around, but with the good ones, once you get comfortable with them, they should feel very safe, intuitive and deterministic. Scala's approach of "Futures + immutability when you don't need mutable state, or Actors when you do need mutable state" has worked well for every problem I've encountered in the last few years, and I've certainly heard great thing's about Go's approach too.

ES6 has improved the state of concurrency in JS, it's now similarly easy to read and reason about as Scala's model, but the lack of actual parallelism is a pretty big limitation - often a deal breaker for server-side code, and still often an issue client-side.

How is it fair? It's not fair that "Our" President puts "Our" needs first?

I have no issue with other Presidents or leaders putting their citizens first either.

What's not fair, IMO, is uneven playing fields: Unionized, 40 day work week, safe conditions, etc... vs countries where children work, 12 hour work days, unsanitary/unsafe conditions, etc...

Or, what's not fair, is government backed advantages - IE: Under-priced steel to drive American Businesses out of business... or solar panels... or... etc.

At the end of the day... not everything in life is fair. Some people are born into money. Some are born lucky enough to be Americans (or other "First" world countries)... Some are born with innate skill/talent. Plenty of people aren't.

We can try to keep the "world" moving forward together... but taking care of "Our" country - to protect people from losing their jobs to unfair competition - is "fair" and should be expected of our leadership. We should also try to include other countries and raise them up as well but that's no reason to not take care of #1 first: Us.
>If jobs weren't repetitive we wouldn't group together a specific set of tasks under a label and hire people who can accomplish said tasks.

I don't see why not. Since excessive repetitiveness of a task required in order to hire people? Exercising creativity and good judgment rarely happens the same way twice, but it still ought to improve over time.

>We also wouldn't even be able to learn a job in the first place because by definition it would constantly be something new and we could never obtain any competency.

A) Learning effectively is not the same thing as doing effectively and B) I'm not arguing that every programming job should be entirely devoid of repetition, just that by its nature it shouldn't be repetitive.
Don't know about other OEMs but Xiaomi's implementation is awful.
An aside: I'm getting tired of hearing people talk about "unique events". We've had a lot of them recently. Maybe in future the weather is going to follow a different path from that which prevailed in the last century.
I think the best questions to ask are those that tests someones ability to take a well defined process, and ask them to simply represent it in code. DSA questions are often more about problem solving, and I don't think problems are solved in 20 minutes of a stressed induced whiteboard interview. So its often a matter of luck if the person finds the solution in time or not. Luck beeing if they've recently practiced and reviewed similar problems and their solutions.

If you can find a question where the algorithm and technique is given, basically you give the solution but in prose, and they have to translate the solution in code. Then you ask questions that has the candidate reason about various aspects of the code he wrote like: How fast do you think it'll be, how much memory would it consume, how easy is it to extend, how can it be tested, how easy is it for others to read, where is it most likely to fail, how could it be scaled, etc.

You could ask say, I've got a bunch of fruits, there's apples and bananas and pears. They need to be labeled with their price, and put into distinct baskets. The price is calculated based on their weight and which kind of fruit they are. Banana is weight * 0.3. Apple is ..., etc.

There's no trick to this question, no problem to solve. All that's needed is can you model this process in code in a way that's maintainable, testable, efficient, extendable, scalable and do that quickly enough. This question doesn't require any practice or reviewing of theory prior to the interview. Questions of that sort have worked the best for me.

Caveat: This works when you need a good generalist that's well rounded. If you need a specialist, you expect them to know and be well practiced and versed in the specialty. But you almost never need a specialist.

Disclaimer: I've currently conducted around 40 interviews, a mix of on-site and phone, for both hiring junior and senior software engineers. So that's the sample size that lead me to believe this works well.
This would definitely help people with interview anxiety and put those people on a more level playing field.
Wasn't it if they didn't fight they were "poseurs"? Ahh, cliques and otherness.
When wolves got reintroduced to Idaho, a few hillbillies went up into the primitive area and stole some pups, and they circulated around as pets. My buddy had one, and it scared the shit out of me. It was 130lbs of killing machine. They could tell it to kill anything, and it would do it. Their neighbor's dog had been biting them, so it was the first to go. Then they'd set it on foxes, which is could run down with ease. But the only person that wolf had respect for was the father, who was 6'4" and would pick it up and slam it whenever it misbehaved. Eventually, it started trying to beat up on the kids to move up the pecking order, and it had to be shot.

So only get a wolf if you can stomach putting a bullet in its head after it brutalizes your kids.
Apple is also mostly a hardware company.

This is discussed at some length in the article, which draws parallels to domestic dog behavior and Williams syndrome.
I recently heard/read something which I actually can't really remember whether was aimed at tech hires or other, but it just resonated with me.

Remember that the process you choose to screen your hires defines the people you end up with. Understood as; if you present hard complicated theoretical assignments, then what you get is people who are good at these and may overcomplicate implementation. You may want these - but in a lot of cases what you probably needed was somewhat more pragmatic programmers.
Not if you understand the "god's will" is lingo for "my personal will/individual values" as opposed to the rest of society.
Aw, man, yep, that was it. I vaguely recall the awful tinge of their movies. Looks like many actors, directors who were in some of the victimized movies were none too happy about the colorization: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKtRvBZx28c
Maybe they should just learn to code. That's the magic job these days right?
Domesticating seems like a fuzzy concept here, in the way it's being discussed. For, as dog owners, we too (well, the more.. principled ones) are trained in how to approach a pup -- or a 'misbehaving' adult dog -- and how to train/discipline the dog in turn.

As someone who has owned a pregnant mare, and observed (and been involved where appropriate) in the birthing, raising, and, with time, subsequent breaking of the foal, I think horses may be born in a more 'wild' form--- but only in the loose, as-it-were sense of the word.

This all said, domestication should probably be discussed in a way that's wholly specific to a species since, with the horse-dog comparison, it goes without saying that their cognitive development, experience, functional relation to humans, and genetics (unlike the wolf/dog in this regard, a premise of the article) differ in such profound ways.
But till now we don't know for sure if (and the article - confusing as it might be does state this) the Romanian guy's identity has been used without him knowing.

This is great. I especially like these parts:

> The candidate can use their own laptop, or we will provide them one. The test is contained in a github repo, and consists of a couple dozen unit-tested challenges.

> The candidate is encouraged to use Google, and we link them to the Wikipedia page for any algorithm we're asking them to implement.

The only other thing I'd be looking for as a candidate (and that I make sure to do when I'm hiring) is to provide reasonable estimates as to when the candidate can expect to receive a response or decision. And then meet them.
Have you seen healthcare regulations ? The lengths hospitals and drug makers have to go through to prevent ANY mistakes are simply not reasonable.

That's not 1/1000. Not 1/1000000. Not 1/1000000000. Zero. Entire companies get shut down because of a single mistake. Think about how ridiculous that is. A company owns 5 separate factories, and in one of them a product was produced that may, in a panel of doctor's opinions, have caused the death of a patient (mostly one who would have died without the medicine), and all 5 are immediately shut down until an extensive investigation is not just run, but run in an approved manner by outside experts, and the resulting cause was both found, approved by the panel of doctors and the government.

And of course, a company is supposed to take care of any patient they damaged, for life, full treatment for all ailments (not just the one that had something to do with what they did), ...

We used to let people prepare medicines in corner shops with at least a few ingredients they procured themselves. Needless to say, pretty cheap. Mistakes were ... not common, but certainly more so than today.

Until we find a balance between care provided and acceptable risk there will be no reasonably priced healthcare. Until we stop giving health at any cost, and count on "management" mistakes to do cost saving (regulating that people get thrown out of hospital the day after open heart surgery unless there are complications. Well, if you want to survive, you bloody well hope your doctor finds some complication. Needless to say, proposals for making it same day are on the table. Good luck).

And of course, like good capitalists faced with demands like this, companies don't say "are you bloody insane ? This will bankrupt the entire country", they say "How secure do you want it to be ? Perhaps even a bit more ? I mean we can always do better. That'll be $xxx(xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)".
The software I write controls expensive hardware. I can't easily show things like that on github.

Besides that, it is just plain wrong to require us to have side projects on github. I love what I do and I'd much rather spend time tweaking my work code to perform better.
There's actually a fair amount of variation within each wolf species, and even within a single pack.

We've had many years of experience with other laws that restrict what employers can ask potential employees, including "are you married?" and "what church do you go to?"

Please do tell us how laws like these have a far greater negative impact than "our friends in Sacramento might suspect."

Personally, I think all salary information should be public, so employees have a better idea of what the market is paying. Is that lack of information the negative impact you were talking about? Somehow I don't think so.
And what about patients who can't pay ? Whom, therefore the government can't make pay either ?

Secondly, what about people who become destitute because of a medical procedure and do what they sometimes do in Holland ? (if you're fucked on bills and the state comes after you and you would become homeless, simply rob places until you get convicted for 10 years, and stay in prison for 10 years. Free tv and internet, and nobody garnishes any wages. Outside you wouldn't be able to pay rent).
Improved? In ways directly beneficial to their customers? I think those companies have been able to make a lot of money, but they haven't improved in any way that I care about.
Learn them both at the same time. Pick two small projects. For project 1, implement it in Python, then implement it in C. For project 2, implement it in C, then re-implement it in Python. Repeat for the next two projects.

It will feel slow at first, but you will learn more quickly overall.

Yes, the API lets you build 1979-style synths out of a toybox of generators and filters.
