I'm still in my 30s, but I've encountered a lot of the younger developers who are talented but have a very low maturity level when anything requires soft skills like managing people, hiring/firing, etc. Sometimes it feels a lot like Lord of the Flies, honestly.

The amount of resistance that I see to staffing up with dedicated project/people managers everywhere I seem to go is extremely distressing and that feeling grows each passing year. Hearing an 8-years-your-junior boss say to you "I don't want to manage anyone older than me" when evaluating another new hire is a bit of a shock.
Sure, but you don't have to spend all that time staring at the ocean. You can spend it exploring the cities of the world and all the history and culture they have to offer. You can spend it learning new things. You can spend it hiking or skiing or skeet shooting. You can spend it with friends and family. You can spend it writing or painting or woodworking. You can spend it volunteering or building an organization to make the world a better place. You can spend it doing for fun what you used to do for work.

We spend so much of our lives working just to be able to feed and house ourselves. There are so many things we could do with our lives if we didn't have to, and lying on the beach is only one of thousands.

I used https://github.com/phfaist/pylatexenc to convert LaTeX to unicode text, with math symbols and superscripts etc.

It's of course never going to be as good looking as MathJax or something like that -- but it may be more appropriate to be able to treat it as plain Unicode text in some cases.

For instance, it works in title fields across the web and search engines will understand it better than anything else.

Yes, but surely Glassdoor should agree to take down reviews that can easily be verified to be factually untrue?

Why is this first line true: "This works because there are 3876 possible unique values for a set of 4 4 bit values"

Each 4 bit number has 16 possible values. And you can order them in the set in 4! = 24 ways. So I thought you would get 24 * 16 = 384. Can someone explain?
What my top students had in common: they asked questions
Is this realistic?
Right, you can't store them as ints. 1 million bits is the max you need, but like this whole thing is just super tricky because you can't just address things normally anywhere, since that's too big.
I would say it is selection bias, but the people who had a miserable experience wrote their reviews, and then management/ownership flooded the site with 5 star reviews to offset the bad reviews (instead of fixing the company of course).
Yes but likely only for the guy who has the private key hard coded in the config.
> It's not craft when something takes longer to build than it should.

Who determines the should part of that?

The outside observer that claims they can build an Uber clone in a weekend? (an intentionally absurd example, although not uncommon either)

Or the builder. And if it's the actual builder-owner, who else is there to specify to them, how long their building & craftsmanship should take? I say: nobody; period.

I'll take the old id Software mantra: it'll be done when it's done. It's glorious in its go fuck yourself attitude toward artificially pressurized deadlines.

> promising their citizens that they will bring back the "good old times"

Are they wrong?

Low-skilled immigration seems like the worst possible idea at a time when millions of low skilled locals are going to be out of work.

With no net immigration most western countries are slowly shrinking which would help a fair bit as well.

As an employee, I had a bad experience with Glassdoor.

I got shafted by my employer who promised to start the green card process immediately on joining, managed (knowingly or not) to delay the start, and by the time it started, they prepared the petition so weak, that it was too late to complete the process before my 6yrs of h1b expired(because they had to redo the petition a few times).

Now I explained this very clearly in my review and just mentioned that if you are an high skilled immigrant who has precarious requirements, then don’t join this company. In fact I added all the good things about the company, but always made a point to glorify the fact that they screwed me and left me jobless (because my authorization ended).

What happened to that review?

It never showed up in Glassdoor reviews for that company. And my account was suspended. I thought there was some “pay to remove negative review” option for employers.

Now, that employer has more than 4.5 stars average reviews, and its glowing overall. If this is how Glassdoor works, I don’t think it is meant to help the past, current, prospective employees.
This sort of behavior only works on exchanges with zero or extremely low trading fees.

Yes, I was thinking about that earlier. I would suggest lowering the strength of ratings the older they get when calculating the average, so:

This year's average is 50% of total rating
Last year's average is 30% of total rating
Previous year's average is 10% of total rating
All prior years' average is remaining 10% of total rating

Instead of years, it could be a rolling year, so average of last 52 weeks would be 50%, prior week 53-104 would be 30%, etc.
I don't see what they have to lose. A roughly 300% profit margin followed by the endless conversations buyers have with their friends informing them about what The Boring Company is, combined with improved employee happiness (who wouldn't get a kick out of their company having a brief flamethrower side hustle, right?), it sounds like a win-win all around to me.

> I thought maybe raise money for charity

First off, why would you expect a startup to prioritize charity fundraisers over hilarious and fun marketing campaigns, and second, selling flamethrowers doesn't preclude any possibility of The Boring Company doing fundraisers for charity anyway.
It doesn't make any sense. I want to have "Show my windows and tabs from last time" and I want to have warning on quit.
Increasing wealth inequality. Economic activity and investments are being concentrated in big cities.
Firefox is excellent when it works. I've experienced pretty long loading times for a bunch of websites. I have experienced these for sites like gmail, youtube, a bunch of blog sites and Udacity. I know this is a Firefox problem because, the load times didn't persist when I immediately switched to Chrome. This is not consistent though, and Firefox is fast and really light on memory usage which is nice, as long as I can see the page in the first place.
Volume is just as gamable with a bit more effort. One person can create $1B volume by moving $1M between two coins 1000 times. And consider that $1M could be inflated by a major creator/miner of the coin as discussed above. Get yourself up the volume and market cap charts with this inflation and people outside the scam will buy in. There you go, the basic anatomy of a pump and dump.
Well Atlassian's Australian and provides food to employees, as does Seek (also Australian). It isn't full-catered hot food everyday but it's still great.

I haven't heard of a non-tech Australian company that does though, and would certainly say it's a 'big tech company' thing
Actually the log2(4!) needs to be smaller, because as yorwba below says, duplicates don't have 24 permutations.
To be upfront, I don't know this for a fact, but what I always hear when this topic is discussed is that corporations are buying a lot of properties as an investment and leaving them vacant or renting them out via AirBNB, etc., thereby preventing that unit from actually serving as someone's home. If we accept this, it appears that a relatively small number of people is basically shutting off a large chunk of the available real estate.

Again, this is just what I hear, not what I know, but it is possible that this is at least part of the explanation.

> The Cfer project that I contribute to [...] is the thinnest possible wrapper around CloudFormation that we could come up with.

I've found preprocessing CloudFormation YAML using a standard template language (e.g., ERB) to be the thinnest possible wrapper around CloudFormation for providing if statements and loops without breaking our backs. Cfer looks nice and lean, but it still adds another domain-specific language on top of the stack while ERB is part of Ruby's existing standard library.

Granted, using an existing template preprocessor or a lightweight DSL can both work well and I think it's largely a matter of preference as to which feels thinner/easier to work with.

I agree with your assessment of HCL, a range of tooling choices for CloudFormation are largely possible because CloudFormation runs on standard JSON/YAML documents rather than the domain-specific, vendor-specific Hashicorp Configuration Language that lacks as robust tooling and support across languages/IDEs.
Err, I think OP just meant the computers were not the best, you might not get 2 monitors, or something like that. Not that you don't get a computer at all.
I have 1 year with a precision 3510 with 16 GB, I know it could be expanded but I haven't required it, it has worked quite well until now with the plus that it is ubuntu certified, running ubuntu 16.04 and it works quite well, another point is that I bought it with the biggest battery and when I tried using just the browser, the battery lasted around 10 hours, using all of my software for my daily work, the battery should last more than 6 hours if I'm not running CPU intensive tasks.
My experience watching Hollywood films tells me flamethrowers are a more effective tool at killing/maiming large groups of people than traditional firearms, so I expected them to be outlawed for the same reason you can't buy hand grenades or rocket launchers at Walmart.

Of course, now that I know they are legal I have decent reason to believe that Hollywood's propensity for exaggeration didn't end with their use of flame throwers.
I don't believe that it does, at least not without some additional trick. How do you handle the case where you repeatedly encode the largest case? E.g. {31, 31, 31, 31}.
The second answer, 15.676, is the correct one. It can also be arrived at by:

Can you elaborate? I am not very familiar with arithmetic coding, but I thought it required arbitrary precision floating point numbers, so not O(1) memory.

Glassdoor routinely removes negative comments on companies.
> These days you can just get a loan from a bank if you have a high enough MRR to cover the interest rate

Heavily depends on the business. Banks absolutely hate to lend to businesses with few or no assets. It's not enough to just be able to cover the payments because of your MRR. The bank wants something to seize if you implode. For the bank it's a simple calculation: how do we get our money back, if your business turns south?

If you're an asset-light Internet company, SaaS, etc., you are not easily getting a bank loan just because you can meet the loan payments. It'll be almost impossible to get a traditional bank loan in fact.

The trading fees would merely have to be lower than the appreciation in the value of your own holdings as a result of the apparent legitimacy.
The idea is good, but base128 won't work. The worst case scenario is around 250k offsets of 2^14 (requiring 3 bytes each) and 750k offsets of 2^7 (requiring 2 bytes each). That's 2.25 MB

I really like this mechanism. It seems like it should be the optimal way to store a set of size k.

Out of curiosity, do you know of an efficient way to calculate this without sorting first? Or even better, without knowing k ahead of time? If you can sort your input first it's trivial, but even though it seems like a super efficient way to store a set of numbers I don't know how to use it to solve, for example, the other problem in these comments of sorting 1M 32-bit integers in 2MB of RAM (you can store them with this mechanism in about 1.7MB of RAM, but only if they were already sorted).
It's interesting to me they are using human moderators and Americans at that (for what seems to be American/British companies) - I don't know much about machine learning but it seems like this is the only way to do this somewhat accurately given the expressiveness of written English. The current attempts by the (admittedly much larger) Facebook and Google to use English literate in foreign countries to moderate content is almost self parody at this point from the examples given in that documentary that made the front page of hacker news last month.
>> a lot of his followers are looking for too many shortcuts.

In the old days, people devoted their careers to a company and companies looked out for people. Continuous layoff cycles were rare and long-timers earned pensions. These days there are layoffs in good times and bad. Sometimes layoffs hit entire divisions and even top rated people are let go.

Why the heck would i trust some traditional system and not try to find shortcuts?

At 0.05% fee (public rate for Binance, is probably lower for people in the know), it is a four-figure USD investment to get your coin in the top 100 volume chart for a day. Then when real people start buying in, you can sell a tiny fraction of your holdings to finance more fake volume.

People say that Firefox did the hard work, because back then the web was just entirely built for IE. It was much harder to steal market share from IE at that point, because the web that you were able to display, if you were not IE, was just broken. You had to be so much better than IE at everything else to get people to use your browser despite the web being broken. The small differences between browsers today would not suffice for that.

So, the total number of percentage points that Chrome ate up is bigger, but it would never have gotten off the ground, if Firefox had not shaved off market share beforehand.
Branch never (actually documented on the Motorola 68HC11, I believe)

The early ARM cores which have conditional execution of all instructions had a corresponding "never" condition, but in the later revisions they decided that 16 million different NOP instructions was not a good use of opcode space and reused that as an extension for new instructions.

Millennials who are able to find good jobs do so by migrating to a handful of cities, driving up the cost of housing there. When they do, they rent urban/transit-connected apartments, which white professionals haven't really done en masse since White Flight [0].

Bitfinex just needs a bot to buy tether back when the price goes below $1.00. It’s fairly low volume so probably doesn’t cost much on most days. If there’s a run on the bank, that will change, though.
I can't innovate on furniture directly, but maybe on the design, manufacturing, and distribution processes around it. I have no idea how this industry is structured, but here are some ideas.

- Made to order furniture. Let users design their own, or at least mix and match high level componets at a finer detail than ikea.

- High end IKEA. Combine the flexibility of Ikea with high end designs and materials.

- High level office furnishing service. Companies provide a high level description of their furnishing problem, rather than choosing specific items. I'm sure these consultants already exist, but maybe it can be done in a more automated, scalable way.

- bid/ask interface for used furniture markets. This would enable sellers to passively sell items.

- used marketplace that uses ML to extract features from pics. I think this may already exist. Not sure.

I live in NYC. Gentrification happens like this right now:

1. lower income neighborhood becomes trendy because poor artists (read: cool people) live there because it's cheap.

2. Rich people who want to be cool start to also move there for more access to culture.

3. This is the "sauce": Wealthy developers buy up 3 story homes and convert them into 3 apartments. (I live in one.)

4. They then rent these apartments out at rates that are "affordable" to a person willing to live with 4 other roommates.

5. The poor lower income people (read: families) that used to live there are getting priced out due to the wealthy developers and "single" people who are banding together.

Now, your point about comparing to my parents: they purchased a house when they were 2 years younger than I am now. (mid late 20's) I work in tech, so I make close to 2-3x more than most of my non-tech friends. I'm still about ~4 years away from comfortably being able to put a downpayment on a home in anywhere I want to live and I live debt free and am an aggressive saver.

For most of my non-tech friends, home ownership is literally a dream.

I own property. I’ve evicted people, sadly. Exactly zero landlords anywhere would prefer that they’re forced to go through this entire eviction process vs. the tenant just disappearing one day and you never seeing a dime of what they owe. Eviction is expensive, stressful, and time-consuming. And even though I own rental property, I’m a human being and don’t like putting anyone in a bad position.
