I was always under the impression that SAT scores correlate strongly with IQ, not with practice. I had almost a perfect score[0] on my SATs, and I only used about half the time available, and I did zero with a capital Z practice problems beforehand -- many other kids took practice tests every weekend and still performed abominably.

[0]: I only got two questions wrong on the entire test, both math problems. Since I was practically unstoppable at math back then, I always suspected that there were errors in grading.
> Being a top CS student at a top CS school does not mean that you are naturally good at technical interviews.

Not necessarily, of course, but it'd be pretty surprising if it didn't trend in that direction.
This article doesn't seem biased to me, just some statistical information relating to the well known debate about why crime dropped in the late 90's. The lead gasoline theory is an interesting one, in addition to the ones given credit in Freakonomics. Here are some of the theories: https://www.vox.com/2015/2/13/8032231/crime-drop
Separating out the confounding factors is definitely a big problem, but lots of effort has gone into just that. Drum has been following the Lead-Crime Hypothesis science since at least 2012. This blog post: https://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2018/02/an-updated-le... provides an overview, but maybe not an ideal overview just because it's so long. Section 3 has links to some actual papers, and some of the other links may ultimately lead to papers, but there's so much of it that I didn't explore it deeply.

>most people are obviously going to use Uber since it's a huge hassle to do your research and then sign up to local alternatives every time you travel.

Or we just use a taxi in the many cities where there is decent taxi service. I travel to London a fair bit and rarely bother with using Uber there.
I thought that too but even for the most common stuff like font awesome cdn cannot be trusted - just too many silent outages that were only discovered from user complaining because they impacted different geographical areas differently..
Exactly. Those a great examples, and you could add the ones of students who are not interested in being engineers. Of course, technical interviews and really any other recruiting process, are not perfect, but it gets one closer.
Replacing JQuery with Vue.js: No Build Step Necessary
The problem is squashed salaries. I’ll have junior devs or people straight out of code school asking for 75-80% the salary of a solid senior dev. If I have to make a bet on who will be easier to manage and get productive 4 seniors vs 5 juniors for the same total expenditure I’ll choose the seniors every time. Even at 2 to 1 I’m taking seniors. Maybe around 3 or 4 to 1 juniors might look better. But that means junior starting salaries around 50k which no one is taking. Salary range is too squashed in the industy.

I mean, if my experiences are anything, it's because people don't care enough. At fat food joints you've got a bunch of high school and college kids who want to get off and party or get off and finish their mounting homework. It's not willful, just part of being 17/18/19 at an "unimportant" job. We had some adult-adults who worked there as well, and it was a night and day difference.

Again, it's not willful or malicious, just laziness.

If you're looking for more reading on the Lead-Crime Hypothesis, Drum's "An Updated Lead-Crime Roundup for 2018" (https://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2018/02/an-updated-le...) has a lot more information. Section 3 has some direct links to research papers, if that's your thing.
OK, I’ll bite.
It does seem to match my observations that if your expectations are excessively high vs. reality then your happiness will be low. And, I have observed that people in truely... difficult(?) situations (living in North Korea/South African slums) are often still happy because what they hope for are the basics of survival, friendship and family.
An analogy is TV channels being regulated about the amount of time they are allowed to show ads.

What I run into over and over are largely attitude issues in all parties involved.

"Junior" is not an insult nor does it / should it demand an insulting salary level. I don't look at someone's title and think "they must be bad" or "I am better than them" etc etc but I see that attitude a lot. I see seniors take interesting work for themselves, I see them shove off juniors and I see juniors complain about the work they have to do.

And even worse is when someone holds the explicit junior title they are only interested in getting the senior title. Then we have seniors that shouldn't have that in their title feeling threatened by who does and doesn't have / get sr added to their title. It's all a dreadful game and I'm tired of playing it.

As others have said- I enjoy mentoring. I'm not ashamed that I enjoy someone taking the time to listen to me and what I have to say. I have 13 years of mistakes I can share. I don't enjoy working with people that are only interested in the "title game" and that complain about the types of work they have to do. We're all paid very well to do the type of work we do and ultimately we're paid to do what the company asks of us. We don't have to believe it's the grandest technical challenge of all time yet I see Jrs complain they aren't given the "big work" without realizing they don't know what they don't know- they just see some sort of prestige associated with it.

And shame on the seniors for taking work that is interesting to others first and shame on management for not making time for a junior to tackle a bigger task. I do feel for Jr engineers that get stuck in the cycle of doing menial tasks because no one makes time for them to make mistakes.

If you've got Sr in your title did you get it by being hired in to the title or by earning it in some fashion? Did you earn it by being a workaholic? Did you earn it by putting in time with the same organization? Did you earn it by growing your responsibilities? Ultimately- who helped you do it? Who gave you the chances and which manager wasn't threatened by you and allowed you to be promoted? Try to imitate those values and lead by example. Sadly I see a lot of insecure engineers who don't want to help and would never stand for a coworker, not the least someone they helped mentor, surpass them. And it IS a shame.
Junior programmers may not (even probably don't) have a good idea of what questions to even ask. Younger juniors (e.g. right out of college) may even feel intimated or anxious that their question is "stupid". This isn't helped by the software industry's reputation (well deserved, in my opinion) of being populated by arrogant people with little or no tact or empathy.

Reliance on online resources is, in my view not a substitute for experienced mentorship: there is the paradox of choice, and the plethora that creates this paradox is of generally poor quality. Except for textbook or trivial problems, moreover, much of the resource material online is too generic or only marginally applicable to the depth and breadth of technology issues that face a real business and its needs.

Cool, and as a user, I want every marketeer to be hanged and quartered </sarcasm> But really, marketing as a whole is broken.

Do you actually like watching advertising, and getting hundreds of spam and impossible-to-unsubscribe marketing emails every day?

If not, why do you think your users will?

There's nothing good in marketing. It doesn't help the ability of users to buy products (if the goal is that the user buys the best product for the lowest price, the best tool for that would be providing more independent comparable reviews, and better price comparison search), and it certainly doesn't help the user get to the content they want (which is not the ad).

The only reason users ever subscribe to marketing content are (a) to figure out when sales are, snd (b) coupons. Actually sell everything at a better price all year round, improve price comparison engines, and you won't need any of that anymore. The net benefit for society is negative.
Absolutely! Though would you still consider yourself a "senior" developer, if a "mid-level" or "junior" starts working with you and happens to exceed your skillset in very noticeable ways? I know I've hired some exceedingly excellent programmers that made me feel rather amateurish!

I guess what I'm trying to say titles are fairly arbitrary - and yes, the system is in need of a little shake up! Enjoy the perks the title brings, and stay humble :)

I used to live in a connected house in Brooklyn. In fact, the whole neighborhood is streets of ten to twenty all-brick, connected houses. So if even one person had a roach problem, it could migrate a couple houses down. Having cats would definitely help.

One time, our neighbors decided to move and had moving sales. Well, apparently their house was so decrepit and disgusting, the stove just covered in food and soot, roaches roaming freely everywhere. We had seen a roach or two in our house, a waterbug maybe, but were surprised that we hadn't seen more considering how close it all was. I guess the brick/cement walls were tight?

I grew up in that house for 20 years, so I'm partial to having fond memories despite my mother always complaining about how its' too little square feet and too many steps. We were robbed when I was little, I have no recollection except lucid and possibly ~fake~ dreams. My parents responded by putting wrought iron bars on all the windows. Smart move. In fact I was often afraid of being mugged since I had to get on the bus to goto Brooklyn Tech at around 5am when it was dark. But I survived. Used to carry bear-grade pepper spray and a nice sized SpiderCo Civilian defense knife. Never had to use them thankfully.

We had a basement that we finished nicely, so it was 3
decent sized floors - but so many, so many steps, two long flights. My parents still live in that house but want to move. I believe they purchased it nearly 35 years ago for close to $150k. Now it's worth $800k. And its' not a mansion, brownstone, or anything fancy. That's NYC / Brooklyn for you ;-)
Ever since he was doing Calpundit, Kevin Drum has gained a well-deserved reputation as a thoughtful, highly moderate center-left intellectual. Not even remotely extreme. Lead is his personal hobbyhorse, and something he actually knows a great deal about. So I wouldn't be too dismissive of him.
I think it's true that lowering your expectations will increase your happiness. But it will also decrease progress in the world. Happiness isn't the only thing one can strife for and not everybody should.
I mean, you're always free to not browse them in that case. People that would prefer those services not to die off, can then keep using them with advertising.
I thought about this idea too, but in practice, this should be what equity/options is designed for. So, a promising developer at small company A gets a lower salary, but greater share of equity that he/she has to forgo if they leave the company before they can vest their options.

But in reality, the amount of equity offered by most startups to junior developers is negligible, and is too low to form any sort of incentive to stay. Perhaps offering them a clear contract with lock in would make things more clear, but enforcing (no moonlighting) might be illegal in some states/countries.

It seems different because it has the addiction proclivities of heroin coupled with crazy cheap and ubiquitous availability. Any semi educated person can cook it locally.

Plus it's devastating physically. The welts, scratching, paranoia, food avoidance, tooth eating qualities, etc, are pretty unique. It wrecks your body pretty fast. Serious meth addicts seem to age at a 10x+ factor compared to other addicts. Twentyish old people look 40+ after just a year or so after getting hooked.

I'm pretty liberal, but I would fight against legalization of meth. It's really terrible. Meet a girl in her 20's that's been on it a year or two and you might see the issue. Not yet 30, but no teeth left, massive skin issues on their face/arms/upper torso from the welts/scratching, emaciated, and infertile. Also often HIV and/or Hep-C from trading sex for drugs. That shit is pure poison.

I've never found developers resisted reasonable unit tests, though teams may squabble about what _real_ unit tests are, or may have been burned by poor approaches to unit testing in the past. If you can find the cause of resistance, all teams I've worked with have been happy (even excited) to get better testing in place. It makes them more productive and more successful when done properly.

What I find more common is for the business to be unprepared to make lateral changes to a product. Even rational unit tests are a medium term investment. You need to spend time developing features customers don't see, and apply those tools for some time, to see quality differences. That can be difficult to justify in a number fairly normal business scenarios (low cashflow/reserves, high tech debt/regret, etc.).

To help offset the cost (and delayed benefits), I've always suggested phasing in unit test strategically. Pick a module or cross-section of the product that is suffering from bugs that customers see (i.e., affecting revenue) and add the minimum viable tests to that. Repeat as needed, and within months/years, you'll have coverage that fits the business needs well.

FPGAs & CPLDs.

Of course those aren't really CPUs to be programmed with software, they're another level of abstraction down. But they're pretty common and hardware description languages are vastly different from C. The inherent massive parallelism of FPGAs & the resulting combinatorial-by-default (sequential only when explicitly declared) languages requires a very different way of thinking.
Testing is absolutely critical don't get me wrong, but you can't test what you can't predict, so there needs to be a distinction between tests that really stress the system in unknown ways vs verifying your ADD function did indeed add N consecutive numbers correctly.
> is it really surprising that women in circa 1970 Atari can tolerate a sexist work environment?

Literally, by all accounts, they liked it and did not view it as problematic. They didn't just "tolerate" it.

And honestly the correct adjective is probably "sexualized" not "sexist."

> You devalue the views of people in 2018, but they're the ones looking in from the outside. They have a level of objectivity because they know the alternatives. They're looking at it, and saying "this would suck."

No, they're not any more objective. If they were, they'd take the testimony of the people who where actually there more seriously, seeing as those are the facts. Instead, we get contemporary subjectivity passed off as the objective truth. The 2018s are aslo in a sense violating these Atari women by taking away their right to characterize their own experiences and lives.

The most interesting aspects of this part of Atari, by far, are left unexplored because we can't escape the rubric of 2018 gender discussions.

> I'm a lawyer, and I've worked for women of the generation where...

Did any of those women work for Atari by chance? As a lawyer you should know that you can't pull random facts out of one case to "prove" another. We are not talking about a generalization about "women of a generation," we're talking about Atari in a specific time period.

This appears to be a case of "I have my preconceived interpretation of the data, and I'm not going to see how well other hypotheses match the data."

The main thrust is that the cohort test supports the Lead-Crime Hypothesis because, on average, 70s kids were more violent than 80s kids were more violent than 90s. But later in the post, he mentions that there's an important confounding factor: the crack epidemic, which starts in 1987 and winds down in the mid-1990s. This would suggest that the increase in crimes over age for 1970s from 17 to 21 or so is fueled in large part (if we look at the later graph) by the crack epidemic. If you guesstimate that the trend should be flat-to-declining, then the trend line for the 1970s absent the crack epidemic is actually rather closer to the 1980s. Similarly the numbers for 1997 and 1998 (for 1980s) seem anomalously high, and should be lowered a bit.

Put it all together, and you'd estimate that removing the suggested effect of the crack epidemic would be that there is no substantial difference between the criminality of people born in 1970, 1980, and 1990.

Is there a counterfactual? A company with a strong culture of promoting from within that outperforms as a likely result of this attribute?
Definitely a cool project. It's crazy there is no standard model zoo anywhere yet. But, a few thoughts:

-No about page? Not clear at all without cleaning on sign up button that model submission/voting is a thing. And many more details I'd be curious to know seeing this for the first time.

-A few things, like colorization, loaded reallllyyy slowly

-No search/stronger filtering?

-Ideally various project should have weights in ONNX standard, and there should be tabs/selection of different platforms. You'd have five different entries for implementatations of ResNets in each of the major platforms? Quite silly.

-This seems like it should be an open source project , given that it is submission/open source driven

-Although this is aesthetically pleasing, at the end of the day it's just some links to cool Github repos... I feel like it'd make a lot more sense to create this as a CodaLab worksheet (https://worksheets.codalab.org/worksheets/0x818930127c4d47de...) ; the platform there is just more mature for this sort of thing. Or make this a fork of that with the whole Zoo angle.

SAT questions, especially the math questions, follow an extremely predictable formula that is told to the world in advance.

Can you practice to get good at quickly solving basic algebra problems? Yes. Which means that you can practice to get better at the SAT.
You unmap the memory when you free it so that it causes a segfault if you access it, and then if a segfault occurs you know something went wrong.
My two cents: simple supply and demand. The slow deflation of the startup bubble of the past five years or so has killed the junior developer. Once upon a time, there so much competition for engineering talent in the startup world that even developers with little to no experience and/or formal training were being handed lucrative jobs.

Looking back we see clear signs of a seller's market in talent: companies went out of their way to hire anyone remotely competent. Once hired, devs could hopefully rely on their company's mentorship, training, and experience opportunities to raise themselves up, and companies could rely on the same for retention. Coding boot camps sprung up to give people just enough skills and credibility to get their foot in the door. Salaries were high.

That gold rush has since dried up. Early stage funding has plummeted. Fewer and fewer companies want to go public. Large companies like Google, Facebook, etc. now dominate their respective product categories. Why is it now difficult to find senior people? Because for someone with years of experience and/or formal training, these companies offer the holy trinity of excellent pay, top-tier perks, and opportunities for career growth.

My personal opinion is that many of these junior devs simply aren't very good. As someone who conducts interviews at one of those aforementioned big companies, I'm consistently disappointed by how poorly most candidates perform on basic interview questions. And I don't mean the kind that test book knowledge of some obscure algorithm, I'm talking basic coding tasks.

From where I stand it's a matter of an oversupply of inexperienced, under-qualified developers that are no longer being absorbed into startups desperate for warm bodies to do rudimentary coding tasks, coupled with a strong demand for senior folks from big companies with the coffers to pay them.
This is the biggest weakness of the GPL IMHO. The fluffy wording which is sometimes so vague only a court can really tell if something is allowed or not.

For example the GPL talks a lot about linking. Now how does that work with languages where there is no linking at build time (like Java)? The GPL's architects tells us that doesn't matter because its all in the same spirit. But that's just an opinion, you need a court to rule on that to be sure.
