I feel the same whenever I have this discussion. The "Look man, I have a life and I don't want to do extra unpaid work just to get a job" attitude is misunderstanding the motivations (to be fair, there are some situations where they are not).

I look at what people do outside of work that isn't writing code. Having something means you are probably healthier, less likely to be burned out and more likely to have experiences that let you better understand what solves real customer/client/user problems. I don't want to hire someone who only writes code, they aren't as good at solving problems.

Now I have to know if you can actually code. The best way to do that is to look at some code you've written. That's basically the extent of it. I'll do some extra work to come up with a take home project if I have to but if there is a great candidate already, and they have a github with good code in it ... I have to manage my time and I'm often chasing them when hiring, not the other way around.

Open sourced code on Github is just the most common way to do that, and it does get bonus points for having examples of dealing with actual users in issues and involves giving back to the open source community that you almost certainly take from.

But honestly, I really just want to see some actual working useful code you wrote.

Yes it did, thank you for the explainer. It's a good example of the fact that changing how our minds work for the better is a multi-modal, multi-disciplinary endeavor.

Why? A lot of people (if not most) treat their non-work GitHub as a place to host random experiments and projects. Unless one plans to publish projects for others to use, no one should be forced to have perfect code for a one off idea if they don't want to.

There are a lot of great engineers with empty or "bad" Github profiles.

Decent human beings make unwanted sexual advances all the fucking time. We can't read each other's minds after all.

This is why we go to the trouble of defining a "sexual harassment" standard in the workplace, which holds coworkers to a higher standard of care than what is expected outside of the workplace.

Obviously we are not supposed to live our lives interacting with every other human purely professionally.

Is Apollo good? I feel like I’ve been aware of their existence for a long time — they have a large marketing presence but I don’t actually have any idea what it is ... there’s a server for making graphql servers and a client for doing ...??? I know they have tools for compiling graphql queries into various typed language interfaces which I have lusted for.

I feel like every blog post of theirs I’ve ever clicked is high percentage marketing and not a lot of focused explanation ...

They have a tough communication nut to crack — they have to sell to people who’ve never heard of graphql, to people who’ve lusted after the vision communicated very clearly by Facebook for graphql and relay, to people using redux and the disarray of different mechanisms for straddling the various in practice divides between local and server state.

Being able to map rest apis into graphql apis on the browser side seems like a nice migration strategy but there still seems like something missing to me to feel like I know what the value proposition of the Apollo Client is ...

Are there any good live demo style introductions to Apollo — something gripping like the original redux conference demo[1] ...?

Because the code-slaves should work harder and give at least 80hrs a week!

No, but seriously, if a job is asking more than 9 to 5, they're asking you to put out sub-standard work while stealing your time needlessly.

So many people here forget 12 hours pay for an 8 hour day was a rallying cry for organized labor at one point, and that all these terrible labor practices that seem common at smaller tech firms (and Tesla) are very bad and create bugs, sickly workers and hurt everyone involved. Not that management is smart enough to realize that!
That's counterintuitive to me because I know peroxides have quite a bit of potential energy (for example, because of their use in fuels). Are you starting from sugars that have even more?
Cool, I will check it out.
Even if you wrote in your later replies here that (your words follow) "the math in the original article is more or less solid, no errors were found since publication in 2016" that statement seems quite dishonest, as you also wrote later, as you communicated with me, that you are aware of the direct rebuttal, which was published shortly after the article appeared, which I link here and quote the abstract if full:

https://arxiv.org/abs/1608.02882

"We show that a recent assertion [arXiv:1608.01541] that gravitational wave emission can lead to a repulsive force explaining the accelerated expansion of the Universe is totally unfounded."

I think it can't be shorter and more precise. I also thank you here for the information about that rebuttal article, as well as about another article which mentions how wrong the Gorkavyi's article is

https://arxiv.org/abs/1608.07136

both of which I haven't been aware of before the communication with you.

This is great advice. I would recommend that you do it any time you're trying to get a job so that you have a "fresh" repository but I'll spend 15-20 hours just watching algorithm videos when I'm getting my resume prepped so that I can answer the ridiculous question of how does bubble sort work. No it is not ridiculous to know that but I graduated almost 10 years ago and I only look that up when I encounter a situation that needs sorting and I don't want to use the built in sort functions.

For example, an applicant that goes through the trouble of writing a thoughtful, reasonable README for every one of their projects signals a positive quality.

When comparing two candidates, that's certainly something to consider.
The solutions aren’t that difficult, they just take time and consistent desire and willingness by legislature and business leaders to follow through. So far that desire has been largely absent, and with recent revelations it’s not hard to see why.

Definitely, a CEO is accountable for everything, but a CEO's influence is quite limited overall, their biggest power is to shut down whole divisions of a company, but actually changing said division?

I'm planning to look for a new position in about 6 months and that's what I was thinking to do also. Build a sample application, maybe something useful I wish I had anyway (a very simplistic budgeting app with no external data access/storage was what I was planning on). Maybe even ask my employer if I could take some code of my last projects and re-work it into a semi-independet component.

I think this is a good piece of advice here, no need to call other people dumb and lazy.
I imagine it is, but they put up the signs on the fences on both sides of the road, which is their property and it is illegal to trespass. IANAL, but on undeveloped land in the US you have to put up 'no trespassing' signs generally before enforcing people not to trespass on your land.

I reality the ranchers(in reality they are usually rich sport ranchers that live in a city and recently bought the property) don't even need the closed gate in most cases. If you are in the middle of nowhere going down a dirt road and you come up to a fence that crosses the road with a cattle guard and on both sides of the road it say no trespassing, what do you do?

Nope, newer MS Office products write files as a fully documented XML format.

Contrary to popular belief MS never deliberately obfuscated Office files; they were simply a raw dump of the internal objects as they were in memory. So obviously they would change between versions. Which made sense in the days when computers were a lot more resource constrained than they are now. Now with power and memory to spare, they can be encoded and decoded on the fly.

If someone is your co-worker and you flirt with them and engage in a voluntary affair with them, is it sexual harassment?

What about when you are their boss, and in a position to fire them or affect their career if they don't engage or flirt back?

One of these can definitely be interpreted as sexual harassment (the situation where the person feels they have to accept the proposition or fear losing their job).

On the other hand, the situation where the two co-workers are on equal footing would only be considered sexual harassment if the flirting is unwelcome and continues even after it has been made clear that it is unwelcome.

The key difference is the fact that it is impossible to retrospectively prove or disprove whether or not the relationship was actually consensual, when one person is in a superior position and can making hiring/firing decisions or affect the other person's career.

Or at least that's my interpretation of the point that I believe Scoble was making.

He wasn't in a hiring/firing position or superior position to affect the careers any of the women when they engaged in the illicit behavior with him. It was consensual behavior between peers, and as such, does not automatically count as sexual harassment (even if he was being an unethical slimeball and cheating on his wife).
If they are scams, it's a different form of scam than a Ponzi scheme.i think they are all subject to unreasonable hype, but that's different than a scam.
The whole "locals only" thing is just as bad. How do you communicate to the locals what is okay and what is not? How do you define locals? Is it just those that live on the same road, those that you run into at the store? It has to be all or nothing. That is really what sucks with the whole situation.

> That should be "will fail", right?

Yup. Sorry, typo, I can't edit it now. :(

With regard to your second comment, that was one perspective that I do consider. There are still plenty of media sources that do not use device attestation. But the trends are not showing in the right direction. Also, as you say, you could decide that maintaining root is more important than being able to consume movies or whatever other DRMd media on your device, but you are sacrificing some of the main features that were marketed to you during your purchase, while still paying full price.

Also, it's not just content-delivery apps that take advantage of the APIs, utility apps like Android Pay require their availability. Multiplayer mobile games are also beginning to implement them to "combat cheating" (correction: preserve the viability of microtransactions, but I'm just a cynic). I think the Android Pay case is a bit more understandable, but still, why not implement it as an optional feature a user can enable? If it is designed to save money from fraud, then why not give users a small financial incentive to enable it? Taking the choice away from the user is the enemy here.

Don't forget that the lockdown of software on mobile devices goes beyond these new attestation APIs. For 5+ years, phone manufacturers been shipping bootloaders that cannot be unlocked, devices that cannot be rooted, and firmware/OS that cannot be flashed. There is an attempt to ultimately control all the freedom a user has to install their own software. The technology to prevent user freedom is only going to get better and better, as exploits are covered up and manufacturers become smarter about code signing and secure hardware design.

So there is much more to the issue than I think is present at first glance. It affects everything, and it is only getting worse. Forget the closed-source firmware that can be delivered and installed at any time over the air and has unrestricted access to your device's unencrypted RAM... that's been going on forever. But now even Wi-Fi routers are being shipped with locked down bootloaders, killing any chance of upgrading or fixing security issues in your device once a manufacturer decides to stop supporting a device. Guess you'll just have to buy a one in two years. That new AC-2300! 802.11AC is going to be so much faster than that old measly AC-1900. Don't forget the crystal oscillators wear out over time, anyway. /s

Sorry to go on such a wild rant, but I'm pissed. I'll go on over to the AMD profits thread, and feel a little bit more optimistic about the future of freedom.

When I look at a developer's Github profile I know that:

1. They care enough to have a Github profile

2. I can see their actual interests.

3. I know they're interested in random experiments

4. I can see if and how they treat their projects. Are they dedicated maintainers, or do they just fire off one-shot projects without ever deciding to maintain them?

And a whole lot more. A person who maintains a single shell script project with diligence is worth more to me than a thousand developers with bullshit lisp and haskell repositories.

Yes, there's a bunch of great engineers with empty or bad github profiles out there. But those engineers aren't showing me that they're great engineers. The ones with a single or few well-maintained projects do.

The "series of if statements" also has to read the line, split it, and parse an integer. To behave like the AWK script it also has to catch an exception and continue when the input cannot be parsed as an integer.

Go ahead, write the Python script that behaves exactly as this AWK program does. It will likely be 4x as long, and that's because the number of different patterns and actions to take is quite low. More complex (and hence more situated and less easy-to-understand) use cases will benefit even more from AWK's defaults.

Moreover the pattern expressions are not constrained to simple tests: https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/html_node/Pattern-O...

They can match ranges, regular expressions, or indeed any AWK expression. They can use the variables managed by the AWK interpreter: https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/html_node/Auto_002d... (NR and NF are commonly used).

Actions one-way or two-way communicate with coprocesses with minimal ceremony: https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/html_node/Two_002dw...

All of those mechanisms can be done in a Python script, but they add up to a lot of boilerplate and mindless yet error-prone translation to the standard library or Python looping and conditional logic.
No. However this situation is different: it's more like your Big Mac came with a license saying you weren't allowed to reverse engineer it (either by taking it apart and seeing what it was made of - 'reverse assembly' (per the article); or repeatedly comparing your burger to it in a series of taste tests - what this court called reverse engineering).
I addressed that in the original post. That requires (1) adding potentially hundreds of boolean query variables to the query (and neither Apollo nor Relay give you any affordance for populating these from context, which you'd need for descendant components to add them) and (2) the parent query still knowing and listing out every possible field that could be added to the query, but with a @skip directive on it and (3) how do you deal with fields on nested objects? Not feasible in the slightest.

The more likely story is, that Apple set some initial specs for the face ID module early in the development. This was probably a very strict spec, which is of course difficult to match. Fast forward, some months later, as the production devices are coming together and real production devices can be evaluated, the specs can be relaxed somewhat, as Apple now has a clear idea about the specs they need to have a functioning face ID device. Also, the software might be a bit more tolerant to variations in the device. Of course, the revised specs will increase yield too. But that is all what engineering is about -finding out how far you can relax specs and still have a robust working device.
