better interviewing through data

Writing Good Code is like Writing a Novel
Quote from https://hackernoon.com/writing-good-code-is-like-writing-a-n...

When I put above two ideas together, I realized following.

If you were running a publishing house and needed to a writer to publish your next book, how do you go about picking the writer?

You usually look at the body of work from the writer. You read the books the author wrote in the past to decide if the writer is any good.

You don't decide if the writer is good or bad from just

1) reading a page of resume and

2) asking him to write out a clever sentence on a whiteboard in the middle of the interview.

That tiny slice of data is useless for deciding on anything. If you are all about deciding based on data, why would you make an employment decision based on the most tiny fraction of the actual data (resume and 30 min interview)?

Programming/IT/DevOps workers now have ample ways of showing past work. Often it's personal projects in github or a blog with tutorials on how to secure servers. These are far better tools to measure a candidate. Just like reading books by an author is a far better way to predict how that author's works would turn out.

And my personal experiences have shown me that majority of interviewers don't read my blog or my github. I find out in interviews that some don't know it's there. It's at the top of my resume for a reason.

And no one's asked about any question what I've written about in my blog or in my github repo. And these are topics directly related to the position.
Erlang process are inherently stateful, which makes it hard to fit it into modern deployment infrastructure such as kubernetes that works best with a stateless process.

The process model also makes it very tempting to build a monolithic-microservices and build an erlang VM cluster which can add complexity if you already have an infrastructure like kubernetes or works with other languages.

FWIW, these things I just mentioned can also be considered as Erlang/Elixir's strengths depending on your requirements.
What about that doesn’t make sense to you? Almost all species do that — humans included. Literally: Some families in New York City have been in the same burrough since their ancestor’s arrived from Europe. This can go for anywhere on Earth — a girl I once dated could trace her liniage back hundreds of years, mostly in a small town in Australia for centuries after her ancestor was taken there during British colonization.
When people say/quote things like “can’t even write a correct binary search”, I’m always reminded of this old java bug

https://research.googleblog.com/2006/06/extra-extra-read-all...

Apparently it is not that easy :)

Anyway my personal takeaway from that, is that it is really easy to assume that things you know are easy. And you should be careful about doing so when interviewing.
Thank you for your remarks, I appreciate them for being constructive.

I sincerely believe that becoming perfect in a language requires a lot of daily hard work and actually living in a respective country. In fact, seeing my parents misusing the Portuguese language still with some very obvious bad habits, even after they lived and worked there for more than 12 years, almost only talking Portuguese, I think after a certain age it becomes incredibly difficult to acquire a foreign language to such a degree that you become indiscernible from a native speaker, at least for Average Joe.

My above post though... Very bad usage for which I can only blame myself and the early morning. And learning proper English on the Internet is close to impossible. How most Americans use English has become a gobbled mess to be honest (e.g. "irregardles", or "that was uncult for").

Just as a side observation about a possible blind spot: arguably the biggest multiplayer game today is Clash of Clans, which is multiplayer and not "classically turn-based" but definitely not real time multiplayer like Starcraft and FPSs (your opponent doesn't need to be online at the same time you are).
I would be interested to know how you share code between client and server. Can you share info/code?

Having one code base like with ocsigen would be even better. Anything like that available?
I am looking forward to this device because I really love the form factor. I do think ti will fail however, the reason being why most of these kind of devices fail today: lack of focus on software.

Just slapping some form of android on you device doesn't make it great. Even if you do everything right, you are still just as good as all other major players in the market. But of course, most companies can't even ship android updates and start with old versions to begin with, so there is that. And android apps often are not really optimized for every other form factor that a phone in portrait mode.

So, then there are the ones with linux, like this one. Which is cool, because you can run whatever you want. But also, linux is mostly an afterthought for the device maker and even if it isn't, software is seldom adopted beyond installing a lightweight desktop and switching out some icons. and even if it were, linux really is not build for mobile usage today, so the UI will very likely still be really bad.

I think unlike there is much more focus on adopting software to these form factors, using these kind of devices will always be sub-par. And that's a real shame, because I feel they have such as much potential as pure smartphones. A portable computer that can really do some work and be nice to use for more than watching video is a problem no one seems to really have cracked yet.

You can tell that by just looking at various AI startups - insane claims, nothing working to show, some servers crunching numbers but solving no real problem
And the only thing that seems to be there is telling cats from dogs, but we've already solved that

And possibly related - what is left of the 'Big Data' fever? Where are we, what did it bring to the economy, did map-reduce change the way we live?
Well, I may not have given thoughts on that stand enough to have lost focus. I will definitely re think the entire approach for here, thanks for the valuable feedback.
I am bad with theory, so please bear with me.

What I meant was das Ma:dchen die fru:shtuck

It is not just remember the noun (apologies) but also the gender associated with the noun. To exacerbate the matter, there are millions of rules and then there are thousands of exceptions to those rules.

But then again, the language is intuitive :)

>The U.S. has strong legal protections against unreasonable search and seizure

i don't think these protections apply to the people outside of US. The same way whatever laws China has wouldn't apply to for example the people in US, ie. outside of China.

Also it reminded about that typical arrangement when UK spies on the people inside US at the request of US government and vise versa in order to workaround those domestic legal protections.
I think I need to work more on how can I make the description more convincing so that it can convey the true intentions behind the business model. Thanks for the help.
With Regus, it seems it depends a lot on the location and how it is being managed. I've had different experiences in the same city.

The good part is that they have a lot of locations.

I'll be very happy to pay a premium for a quiet working space, even sound proof where I can work alone in peace. I wonder if there are any startups tackling this need
There are companies that have commercial chatbots.
Some of them have participated in Turing or Loebner competitions. But a useful bot should be restricted to work into a small domain.

An probably from the point of view of the company that uses one, there should be enough reporting and simple ways to steer its behavior.
Just as a point of accuracy, the Robber only lets you steal one card.

But anyone with 8 or more cards has to discard half rounded down.
My problem is not with releasing new code every 2 weeks. I am 100% in favour of that I try and keep my releases as small and as frequent as possible.

My problem is with planning/grooming/reviewing/presenting every single 2 week release. I think it should be up to the developer to decide how often they release new code not the product manager or anybody else. Of course it is always better to release often and in small amounts but this is not always possible hence why it should be at the developer's discretion.
Maybe with evil-mode and some judicious key remapping one could get by.
Just a small correction. The Robber(or Thief) in Catan doesn't allow you to steal half another player's resources, you just steal one card. However, if any player has 8 or more resource cards in their hands when '7' is rolled, they need to discard half rounded down.
The more the merrier. I'll be sticking to NixOS in the meantime.
I'm puzzled as to why one would ever force smooth scrolling with JavaScript. Browsers have that by default, and when people turn it off you can most certainly be sure it's on purpose.
This is so on point:

"Culture isn’t the slogan on your wall, or how you describe your mission during an interview. Culture is the way people actually act, and what they actually care about."

PMs and Dev Managers, your engineers are smart, dynamic individuals. If you engage them and include them in important conversations and actively solicit their feedback while providing context and customer feedback, you will get innovative and creative ideas, you will get an energized work force, and everybody will be happier for it. Don't treat engineers like an assembly line: software is a dynamic machine and it requires everyone's best work to evolve in the right way.
I moved to Belgium 7 years ago from the UK. I live in the Dutch speaking half.

I had a very rudimentary grasp of Dutch after 18 months mostly through just speaking to my mother-in-law and watching Dutch TV.

Then I spent another 18 months doing 3 hours a week evening classes. After that I was proficient enough to have hour long conversations.

I don't find it very similar to English, if anything the similarities makes it worse because they often mean something else. It is very close to German and I can understand some German now. You do spot lots of interesting similarities but everything is backwards for starters, it's "four and twenty" not "twenty four" and "what want you eating?" instead of "what do you want to eat?". So it's kind of similar but you sound really stupid unless you get it in the right order.

I think there's a big difference between making yourself understood and speaking without making errors. I've made a big effort to try to get the accent correct which very few do.
Because it would be a way of breaking the current believe/not believe division and civilised way forward. Something like: you were right that something was wrong with the vaccines but in general they are good thing, we can solve the problems and move forward. No more religious wars.
Not anywhere near proficient in either, but personally found it more difficult to approach Mandarin because of tones and the writing.

At least with Japanese, you can start practicing by writing/saying aloud romaji and begin to make sense of pronunciation (later transitioning away from romaji entirely once you have learned hirigana).

With mandarin there is no 'romaji' and as such you can't just practice by writing down Chinese words and reading them aloud as you would an english word (cause tones).

Maybe it's different once you get over the initial hump in Mandarin.

So would it be fair to assume that Mandarin is easier 'long term' versus Japanese; ie- Japanese easy to start/learn, hard to master - Mandarin difficult to start/learn but easier to master?
x is actually the generated image they are testing against x0. A lower E(x; x0) means an image which fits well towards the objective based on the original image (depends on the task). The paper gives some examples. For example, for the task of image denoising, E(x; x0) is just the squared distance of the generated (denoised candidate) image x to the pixels to the original image x0. Obviously you would want this to be low in the generated version since it should still look close to x0.

R(x) is a regularization term to avoid overfitting. For example, in the denoising example, it could be a measure of the variation in color of x. Clearly, just taking x = x0, the squared error (E(x; x0)) is 0, but it will have high R(x) because of all the noise. That's why they try to minimize both quantities combined, so we get min_x E(x; x0) + R(x), to get close to the objective but also not overfit.

How to Flag a Post on Craigslist – Flagging Tool
Let's check how to flag a post on Craigslist. Hence, there are more chances to misuse of the site by posting violated ad or false description. These classifieds are inappropriate, nonsensical or annoying. To foreclose this, Craigslist provides an option to “Flag” such kind of ads. Flagging does not remove them but to warn other users about the inappropriate ad.
In practice there will be a lot of other factors affecting the ease of learning, especially if you live in respective countries. Scandinavians and the Dutch pretty much all speak english and is internatuonally oriented so you don’t necessarily get that much practice speaking the native language as say in Italy or Spain.

My native Norwegian is somewhat harder to learn than similarities with english suggests, because dislects are widely spoken everywhere including radio and TV. In addition large number of other Scandinavians live here who speak their native language while interacting with Norwegians.

It means my American wife can’t often decide whether she is listening to a northern Norwegian dialect or e.g Swedish while listening to a Norwegian talk show.

this depends whether languages have same 'base', ie latin ones (french, spanish, italian) - people can learn easily another one once they know any of that group. it wouldn't help with German, Slovakian or Chinese though.
There may be exceptions, but noun gender is still vastly more consistent than French.
I think x_0 refers to the corrupted image and x is the (denoised/upscaled/inpainted) image the optimization algorithm tries to come up. Without R(x) the optimal solution is simply x=x0. So we need a good R(x) that can measure how good or natural the solution image is. In this work the R(x) is constraining the valid x to those that can be represented by a CNN.
That's one oddly insightful little comment. It would be interesting to see the relationship between perceived performance and actual performance (by some impartial metric) in teams/management made up of people that get along well versus teams that don't particularly get along, but also don't actively dislike each other.

The trends in 'emotional intelligence' are largely based upon one psychology paper that did not reasonably show what many think it did. The author broke people into groups and found that average aptitude test scores did not work as a predictor for tasks such as 'planning a shopping trip as a team' whereas the average scores of another test, "seeing in the mind's eye", did.

The conclusion was therefore that a team's performance is not determined by the aptitude of its individual members, but their 'emotional intelligence.'. That is quite absurd since in order to make that conclusion you'd need to take the people who are individually best at 'planning a shopping trip' and put them in a team and compare their results to another team that scored well on the "seeing in the mind's eye" test but individually not as well on 'planning a shopping trip.' I think the author did not do this as she was well aware of what the result would be, and it's not publishable.

The reason for this tangent is that 'emotional intelligence' is now being used as a cornerstone for many things, and this article/company is yet another group feeding off of this. Yet wouldn't be it be quite remarkable if having groups that get along 'too well' could end up being counterindicative for performance. Most people find it difficult to be objective around those they're fond of. Create teams/management systems full of people fond of each other and everybody's going to say everybody's incredible and doing incredible things -- regardless of whether or not that's true.
Tags are also how the code review tool Phabricator sends diffs to CircleCI for testing. If you have that integration enabled, you quickly end up with more GitHub Releases than your project has commits.
Oh, yeah, the nouns are gendered - everything is gendered! And it must be memorized, there is no rule. Same is true for all Romance languages (Portuguese, Spanish, French, etc.) AFAIK.

Btw. it is "das Frühstück" as well.

But you get laughed at when saying "das Cola" in Germany, but yelled at being a stupid German when saying "die Cola" in Vienna. Which makes the whole thing great, because it obviously annoys us a lot, both is correct though, and it totally doesn't make a difference what the gender of the thing is :)

We have lot's of words where the "Duden", the official dictionary has an "Austrian also: ..." alternative gender. And then there are colloquial habits that are utterly out of spec which make me furious to be honest. Who the hell thinks "das Teller" sounds right?!

If I was going to do some embedded image processing I would choose a Tegra.

CUDA is a decent toolkit and of course NVIDIA's support for neural networks is by far better than anyone else's.

>French has more conjugations (mostly because it has more subjunctives) than Spanish.

Are you sure you're not mixing that up? Or are you talking about more irregular forms of the french subjunctive compared to the spanish counterpart?

French only uses present subjunctive (past subjunctive is very archaic) while Spanish uses both present and past. Also subjunctive is used in many more constructs in Spanish than in French.

French also doesn't use the simple past/preterite outside of literature, instead preferring the passé composé (constructed like the present perfect in English, but the meaning is that of the preterite). That's fortunate because the passé composé is a lot easier to conjugate. Spanish and Portuguese however do use the preterite even in the spoken language.

I wouldn't say that English is very difficult either, if only because of the extremely simple grammar. Pronunciation is messy however, I agree.
Yep. My native language is Polish but I am fluent in English and intermediate in German - I can understand most of written Spanish/French and a lot from Nordic languages. Slavic languages are so similar that I can (with some effort) understand Russian/Czech/Slovakian. While learning another language at this point would certainly be a lot of effort, it would certainly be a lot easier than starting from scratch, especially if the language was Latin/Germanic/Slavic in origin.
Can you do that if the phone won't start because some defect? Is the same with a laptop, if it won't start you can erase the drive without opening it before sending it for repair.
The choice of the colors is strange. The most difficult languages are painted blue and green, and the easiest are red, and English is pale red. I suppose it should be the opposite.
Well, the previous poster's examples of "really" could be defined like this, based on interpretation of their intonation:
