In the past I've given programming tasks that mimic real life work as closely as possible and fit them into a reasonable time frame - for example, 1 hour of pairing/programming during an arranged face to face interview. If the test is well designed, touches on a number of areas and self contained, I think this was sufficient for me to assess their skills.

"Mimic real life" means no puzzles (unless I've literally experienced them in real life), no binary tree reversals and no big O notation questions.

>You have just dismissed most tech companies. All the large ones (Google, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, etc.) give coding puzzles as part of their interview process.

I think that type of thinking leads to embarrassments like this:

I think he experienced exactly the same problem the OP is talking about and in this case it's not him who was dumb, it was Google.

I wouldn't rule out any of those companies but I think I'd rule out joining through the standard interview process - I'd look for specific people who looked to be doing exciting work on specific teams and try to befriend them.

>you'd be wrong to say they have an entitlement complex or aren't the smartest.

I think it would depend upon the team. I think they're not all geniuses, and they do have a tendency to drink their own kool aid. For sure some teams are great though.
I'm not surprised at all. I just joined a company that has a similar product, and everyone we demo it for is amazed at how accurate and quick it is. AI and law is a huge untapped market that's just starting to get explored.

Consider - law language is very frequently very similar, to the point where that's where the phrase "boilerplate" was adopted from for coding. Is it that surprising that AI would be very, very applicable to this kind of problem?
Power consumption is probably not a good proximate for disk capacity. Dense disk capacity has way lower power per rack than compute. Unless you know the overall compute/storage ratio, very hard to figure out storage capacity. The reverse might work if compute power consumption overwhelms storage power consumption. On the other hand, it might be easier to infer storage than comoute from rack positions, or square feet of dc space. Only so many spinning disks per cubic meter.

Also, there's a Reinvent talk from several years ago with "8 exabytes" in the title, so surely Google and Amazon both have many exabytes by this point.
The phrase, "work for a non-profit" implies some level of compensation. Had you instead said, "volunteer for a non-profit," then I would have understood that you were working in your spare time and for no pay.
I think it's a cultural weight issue. Bending your knees takes quite a bit of strength when you are morbidly obese.

I also see a lot of healthy, young, and skinny people lean over to the side when getting up from a char. Instead of scooting forward then standing up.
Personally i think bitcoin and maybe Eth and LTC will be the only long term survivors.

Every new "coin" that comes along now just becomes a pump and dump.

Bitcoin was around before it had any value and people were just giving it to one another for fun or buying Pizzas for 20,000. It has benefited most from the "network effect" . My only major concerns about it are the environmental effects and transaction throughput.(other coins are allegedly faster for now but will probably buckle if they become as big as the above three.)

LTC is around nearly as long ,, and ETH is a whole new concept, though it has security and programming issues.

I should mention its survival doesn't mean it's value will go up.
Before deregulation, there was almost no competition. There is now some competition, and prices have fallen, which is a very good thing (putting aside the mispricing of carbon and other pollutants).

The parent claimed that airlines were very competitive absolutely. I linked to three separate articles saying that that was not the case; European skies are far more competitive (although they still have a very long way to go, especially regarding how capacity at airports is allocated).
Not sure what you've tried in the way of stretching, but I have some advice that you can take or leave, that I learned in my time in the Marine Corps, where I was doing MMA, running, lifting and swimming 5 times a week for about 4 hours total of exercise a day. (I got a bit fat and lazy as a civilian but I'm working on that these days)

First, most people don't spend enough time on their stretches. The most common mistake I've found people have in their stretching is they only do a stretch for ~30 secs to a minute. Try spending exactly 5 minutes on each stretch, and I mean each stretch even if it's on the same muscle group, which brings me to two.

The other main mistake I've corrected family and friends on is lack of variation in order to target the full area of muscle fiber on a muscle. They do one stretch in one position for a certain muscle, say, hamstrings, and think thats it. Even if you spend the amount of time suggested, if you dont target the whole muscle you will just have a small line of flexible muscle fiber while the rest of your muscle doesnt. Let me explain, so I'm sure you already know the standard hamstring stretch either single or both leg style. The best way to vary a hamstring stretch is to rotate your foot. First, to the inside, then to the outside. You will notice the different muscle fibers it gets. Then you should also try variations with your foot as far away from you as possible, and as close to you as possible. Try adjusting your hips on the single leg hamstring stretch to get slight variations as well. This is just an example, almost every stretch has small variations like this that pay off great dividends if you do them regularly.

In total, during my fit days, I was spending about 30-45 minutes each morning and each evening stretching, with random quick pnf stretching done throughout the day.

I know that sounds like a lot of time for a busy person, but, it's not that bad if you multi-task (I usually read news in the morning while stretching, and evening stretching is more meditative), and can you really dismiss your health so easily?

Now, everyone is different and you might indeed have wierd biomechanics, but respectfully I think you might have allowed it to develop to this point rather than it being your natural state. My suggestion for you would be this, start with the above time/variation stretching suggestions, and throughout the day try to keep your abs flexed for 10 minute intervals a few times a day, maybe setting reminders about posture every so often.

This is what I tell any friends or family who go on a get fit or fix my posture kick. Stretching is the most important part of either!
A co-worker gave me that book recently. Excellent. For anyone who enjoyed this post, I suggest you look into Fabien Sanglard's work (books/blog-posts).

Go with the black book. I've written a comment about this before but can't be bothered to look for it.

The Abrash's black book is both totally outdated and highly relevant. All the technical material is entirely outdated - which probably makes it a better teaching tool. But the methods, approaches and thought processes he describes through the book and the beginning vignettes are priceless.

Particularly for me the Video 7 story.
> Same goes for Facebook.

Yeah, no. With very few exceptions FB builds and owns their own datacenters.
Basically, anything you read about in the news is entirely self-owned and operated. Yes, even employing security guards. E.g. this http://money.cnn.com/2017/08/15/technology/facebook-ohio-dat...
I suspect that learning even the basic programming principles (e.g. if/then/else, loops, OR/XOR) may be more helpful to a lawyer than understanding "AI tools".
Do you use Adderall too?
What about false positives? False negatives? What about when different legal language is used? How does punctuation affect this? What about differing laws per jurisdiction?

The article is great for an instant hit of wonder about how great AIs are, but an attorney still needs to review the output of the AI.
First, what does your careers page look like? Sometimes the job description is unclear or you might be filtering out qualified people. Second, mid-senior is really tough to hire for, I just experienced it first-hand while hiring for my last employer. Regardless of experience level, you are forced to compete on two fronts: interesting work, or high compensation. Mid-senior devs can afford to be very picky and if something seems a little bit off, they'll look elsewhere.

Have you partnered yet with a recruiting company? I personally just went through TripleByte and they could use a few more NYC partners. They do their own pre-selection of candidates to save everyone involved a lot of time. Another good one is FunctionalWorks. Meetups are also pretty good for making organic connections with higher-quality devs. Every time I go to a tech meetup at least 3 or 4 employers are represented and hiring.
I think one of the opportunities Dropbox missed was being unwilling to replace FTP.

I've built dozens of HTML/Flash/Java uploaders on dozens of different infrastructures, and there's always a host of issues that need to be dealt with. When a product's UX doesn't work with FTP, it requires a lot of extra engineering.

But allowing your customers to move files around with their Dropbox account completely eliminates this problem. The HTML5 File API has largely solved this (though it still exists, I still have to occasionally restart YouTube uploads. YouTube!), but Dropbox could have been the solution, and I can't imagine how many startups weren't built on top of Dropbox because they didn't want to be in the replacing-FTP business.
You will hate to hear that there is a serious proposal to make semicolons mandatory in the next version of ECMAScript.
Airlines are just another common carrier or utility... they were profitable until the GOP deregulated it.

The technology itself doesn't provide competitive advantage, and the local monopoly aspect of the transportation system in the regulated days allowed for sustainable competition. The change you've seen in recent years is another sort of government intervention -- cheap capital has driven consolidation. So instead of an FAA commission allocating gates and routes, companies are buying up the competition.
You like well rounded people. You do not understand the term. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brogrammer
Interesting well rounded people are cool. Being a sterotypical frat boy is not.
So, recycled old dumps all of them? Every single big site I can see here has coincidentally already had their data publicly dumped.

I think it’s for the convenience of people that are already using spanner and don’t want an additional data store.
I'd love if everyone in the world could work on making me rich, healthy and immortal, but it they don't, they might as well have fun instead :p
Except that saving 10% makes you a homeowner in some places and a roommate in others.

If you view your job as temporary pain and plan to relocate or retire before starting “real life,” that makes sense. If you’re trying to build a long-term sustainable and fulfilling life that includes a tech job, not so much. Nominal value in a bank account is useless; you need purchasing power.
can "bad people" not have good ideas?
Vulkan Is Now Available on macOS/iOS
This is a great idea. The only current ability I've found to hide files is by entire folders and per machine. Its also less of an ignore as a don't download here. Its really limiting and creates weird folder abstractions I don't need just because I want something to be able to be excluded on a specific computer.
OK, we'll use that title at least for now. It's not quite as bad, though still inaccurate. As far as I can observe, everyone at YC is just doing what they usually do.
Go all the way down. The last photo is one of the most impressive. Children working with "guards" ready to beat them with a truncheon.

Sorry, no, that is not what I was saying at all. I also do not appreciate that logical leap you tried to impose.
Even if you love meat, cheese, and bread, there are other cities that do it as well (pizza debates aside) or better. For example, the taco scene in NYC basically doesn't exist. The burrito scene is Chipotle-style places.

Frankly, the rent is just too high to be too innovative at a reasonable price.
I'm also the same way. I try to keep everything, because I can, and I'm also now storing baby videos.

I have a 2TB iCloud plan for my iPhone X. The phone is set to "Optimize Storage", so it will de-scale old "local" pictures once I hit ~256GB.

In the background, I also have the free and unlimited version of Google Photos running. It automatically uploads everything, including videos. Videos will be scaled to 16 MP / 1080p, but I'm not complaining since it's free.

I haven't hit 2TB yet, but so far it works. I also have a 20TB Synology NAS setup, but have little desire to run my own photo storage/hosting. The Photos app on my MacBook Pro also is set to download everything via iCloud Photo Library, so that's also backed up to the NAS via Time Machine.
Again? This was an issue in 5.7.0 - as latest is 5.7.1, the title is no longer correct. (And it's a prerelease, albeit not well marked)
Yeah, as if you could whip this up in an afternoon.
My lower back arches severely if I do it, which I regard as not a proper squat.
A lot of times, previous employers won't actually say anything during a reference-check other than to confirm dates of employment.

However asinine, they risk a lawsuit if they say something negative and the candidate doesn't get hired, and there's no benefit to themselves being forthcoming.
Having your address in the list + having your password in https://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords is a safe bet.
”in this case it's irrelevant because Apple has access to the keys anyway”

Not completely, I would think. Google may be able to discover whether any user stores file F in iCloud by creating an iCloud account for themselves and uploading the file to it. If that doesn’t create a new file, it already was there before. Depending on what exactly Apple stores on iCloud, they may even be able to detect how many users or (unlikely) even which users store the file.

I don’t see how they could use it, and don’t think they would use it, but Google also has a large data set of email messages and attachments sent between iCloud and gmail accounts that they could somehow use to correlate activity between their gmail servers and the “iCloud on Google cloud” servers.
Yeah, is sad that React Native/ Flutter/NativeScript can't be used directly without the JS/Dart non-sense. It kill the "its native" with a poorly interface.
Wow the notion of having your own private Dr. Feelgood on staff just seems bizarre. It's a whole different world I guess.
To me, the only odd thing here is that people think Isaac Newton is/was odd because he was interested in religion, alchemy, etc. Being a scientific "genius," isn't mutually exclusive with being interested in other things that weren't scientific.
Reading the comments I feel like there are 2 polarized sides that state that everyone they work with uses some sort of stimulant or that they have never encountered it during their career.

It's hard to get a sense of how common it is to encounter stimulants in the tech sector from reading this thread.
It's pretty much organizing 101: study situation, plan, track well, document well but in a practical sense (write docs that people will actually read), get feedback from everybody, learn from your mistakes, admit your mistakes, and make the system and process better going forward.
In “Go” & “To”, what does the “o” stand for? I assume, the “T” is tera & “G” is giga?
You get more out of your time, but many people want that due to pressure to succeed.

A lot of people think stimulants just keep you going longer. They do that, but for a large number of people they greatly improve working memory, problem solving and systematic reasoning.

I know students that take Adderall because their lives are so complicated that they don't have space for regular studying. So they take an Adderall the day before an exam and cram the whole semester in a day. They ace the exam and don't remember much a few weeks later. Similarly I have seen programmers (and been an example) who have a project to deliver but other stuff going on and use Ritalin or Adderall to pull the whole project out of the bag to the expected standards in a tiny fraction of the time it was predicted to take. And others who use the same to just produce much much more than their peers. And then others who just take stimulants because they think they need them but don't actually produce anything worthwhile, or just end up staying awake too much and being much less productive overall because they destroy their circadian rhythm.

I'd definitely say that if you don't feel you need them, don't take them :)
So many sites do this that we often take the URL as an alternative to the article headline. Major press do it too.

Sometimes they at least have the good sense to put the better phrasing in the HTML doc title too. That way we don't have to dehyphenate it.
> Can China be a global power? I don’t think so.

China arguably is a global power today. I think what Ai Weiwei means is if China can be a long-lasting empire like the Roman or the British Empire.

Also, this reminds me of the classic Upton Sinclair quote: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it." The man being Weiwei in this case.
I don't mean touch delays, I mean the android UI get stuck for so long to be non-usable for any than simple stuff.
I'd love to talk to you. Did this happen a long time ago, your experience(s)? or was this in the last 4 years?

Also, to reiterate, do not need to use your name, etc. Don't even need to know it to speak to you.
Different people take different lessons out of being poor. My parents were poor too. They struggled (and sacrificed) on their own to care for me an my sibling.

Having kids when not entirely 100% secure in your future is not necessarily a bad thing, as long as the parents make sure things go okay for the family. But that's hardly the case most of the time, and people over-extend way more than they can conceivably manage/sacrifice-to-handle. That's where family planning should help (by sharing knowledge), not just giving out free birth-control.

People need to be damn sure that they can provide for the kids, or that they will give 110% in order to make it so. But, welfare is sadly pretty-much at a point where it's just paying people en-masse to have children rather than helping people that got into bad situations. That's not moving society forward, or helping the needy; that's creating/breeding generation upon generation of a dependent under-class that will just vote to reinforce said government handouts.
"Cellebrite, a Petah Tikva, Israel-based vendor that's become the U.S. government's company of choice when it comes to unlocking mobile devices, is this month telling customers its engineers currently have the ability to get around the security of devices running iOS 11."

The USA is using tax dollars from Americans to pay someone in another country to unlock American's phones.
Perhaps, but what's the alternative? Don't look at anyone's OSS projects (and lose a LOT of valuable information) because it would put the people who don't have any at a disadvantage?
This definitely is a case where use and intent should matter.

I agree with making the reverence of a /Nazi/ symbol something to censor for the public good.

However, use in a historically accurate context? Or even an alternate history, either of which should present it as a symbol being used to spearhead hate and atrocities? I feel like that is a truthful non-worshiping view that should be retained.

Uses outside of that context, such as the symbol's older geometric and religious meanings (probably identifiable by their lack of historically / physically WW-II ties) should be fine.
How to delete almost everything Google knows about you
Watching that is really unsettling. The graphics look very much like what I remember, but movement is so very off. It's so smooth and the turning allows for much more subtle changes in orientation than the game did. Kinda breaks by brain a little. Still really cool.
more like finding that McDonalds and BurgerKing use SEXTON to source their burgers and that HAYMARKET sources to Wendy's.
I agree with all the other criticisms of the article in the comments, but I think there's an important point that the article failed to make.

From what I can tell, YCs seed model has proved hugely lucrative to partners and investors. It is currently seeking to massively expand the capital it deploys. The difficulty of getting good returns on a venture fund increases dramatically once fund sizes go from ~$300-400 to $1B, and above that there are just a handful of funds with enough data to know how they performed

If Dropbox / Airbnb / stripe can support $10-20B+ valuations in the public markets, that makes the returns math for the new, bigger YC a lot easier. If not, then maybe there's a ceiling to how big YC can get under its current model
I’m a big fan of Paper, personally. I wish they would make it into a Docusign/Ecosign replacement.

They have all of the tools needed to do it well.
There are many reasons why employers may insist on working on-site and most of them have nothing to do with employee domination and "authoritarianism". Focusing on those aspects of the relationship in the article with respect to working on-site/remotely seems to me somewhat one-sided.
> strings are simply arrays of chars

or code units/code points/grapheme clusters/emojis. Thanks to hard work of many developers string handling becomes easier over time, but I don't think it's trivial if you don't exactly specify what you mean by "string" and "character".
Yeah I'm not getting into that debate on an internet forum.

I would keep in mind that about 12 years ago Goldman was piling in on CDOs and Subprimes before going short the very same asset classes a year later. The fact that there is money to be made immediately doesn't mean they believe in it long term.
I moved to Oahu Hawaii, I am no longer using. I decided to slow down and start relying on sleep.

My extra ability became more of a problem for me in the work place than a blessing. The harder you work, the more that will be expected of you.

It was a fun experiment though; sleeping for 3 hours a night for a month and a half straight at one point. Forget about what 4-ACO-DMT did to me.

Sleep is good, balance is good.
