I've been involved in hiring at a highly ranked small liberal arts college. We are hiring and are desperate for applicants. Every "peer" college we know is hiring, many with multiple open positions. Most of the data (e.g. [1], [2], [3]) we are looking at agrees with the article.

Just as a direct anecdotal comparison, in very recent years our school tried to hire in both math and CS. For math, there were nearly 200 applicants, most of which which were at least superficially qualified, and 30-40 of which were deemed "top contenders". These candidates were from top universities, with stellar track records, multiple awards, a few years of postdocs at great schools, multiple papers in top journals, and recommendations saying things like "best postdoc I have seen in 30 years". We are a good, well-known school, but this was still surprising to me. It certainly appears there are plenty of very strong math candidates and few math positions available.

For the CS position, there were fewer than 25 applicants total in the pool. Two thirds were effectively spam (e.g. foreign applicants only minimal English language skills, applicants who think we are a company or an R1 university with grad students). Half the remainder were people with degrees only tangentially related to CS and/or no formal training in CS, but who apparently can't get teaching jobs in their field. Of the four or so candidates left, most had multiple tenure-track offers on the table before we even had a chance to talk with them on the phone. Others dropped out before we could schedule an on-campus interview.

All our peer colleges are telling us they are seeing the same things.

So yes, I would completely buy the premise of the article.

What’s wrong with estimates?
>the less informed may read this and believe it.

What they should be doing is to understand what's actually going on.

Once you download and run software from a TLS enabled website, you're putting trust in that website. It doesn't really matter if you are doing 'curl https://example.com | bash' or downloading a binary. They can't be MITMed any more so with the curl way than downloading a binary.

That's all there is to it. I realize there are many security people who advice against doing the curl thing, but I feel people should realize it is a rule of thumb with unsecured websites.
I wonder if Nokia would have done better had they focused on markets outside of the US/North America rather than partnering with Microsoft and abandoning Symbian and Meego.
I agree that communications is important and was the primary thing wrong here. It was more that even on top of that, they just sat there doing nothing vs. at least trying to be productive and figure it out for themselves.

And didn't you have backups of that repo?

You don't really climb or reach in an mlm. You just build lots of people under you to make money.

In most mlm compensation schemes, you would receive the same amount of money if you were at the very top of the pyramid or somewhere much lower, assuming you have the same size team built below you.

Do people really care that much about the people they're around?

For your own sake, I'd spend less time working and more time figuring out the emotional driver behind why you work so much.
Still, it seems like if you wanted reduced power, and could accept reduced precision, wouldn't you just do the same thing in binary by using only a few bits? Not even 8 bits, but like 3 or 4 bits?
The Secret example is basically just encapsulation. It reminds me of the HTML type used in Go's standard library to avoid XSS vulnerabilities in HTML templates due to lack of escaping. [1] Any string that's not cast using HTML() is considered unsafe and will automatically be escaped.

In practice, this is used to make security audits easier. It's not that you can't defeat the system, but security review only needs to look at all the places a string is cast to or from the HTML type and verify that they're in fact safe. This is considerably easier than it would be with bare strings, though better encapsulation would help. (In Go, this could be done with a struct that has a private field, but that's not what they did for some reason.)

This is an old trick, also used by GWT [2] and other languages. Language support for zero-overhead, encapsulated wrapper types makes this particularly convenient; otherwise you have to decide if the performance cost is worth it for a widely-used type.

At least, as far as Korean is concerned, there is a version of the Penn Treebank for Korean: https://repository.upenn.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=102...

And of course there are the Universal POS tags, although I'm not sure if they are precise enough for your intended purpose.
The representation they suggest sounds a lot like a dithered PDM[1] bitstream. There is a slight difference because PDM is usually representing a continuously varying value.

Sigma-delta ADC converters internally generate something like this from the analog signal (though they often use more than one bit) and then sum the values over a window to get the actual value that they output.

[edit]

This actually makes me wonder if you could get decent power savings with 2-bit add/multipliers and streams of 2-bit values; that would significantly decrease the stream-length required for more precise calculations.

Regardless of language, writing a decoder for a standard image or video format is a highly recommended exercise to develop your skills at implementating a specification (and optimisation, if you choose.) You don't have to jump into the deep end with H.264 or similar, and even MPEG-1 is beyond what I'd recommend for a beginner; something like H.261 would be good to start with, with MPEG-1 being the next step up.

The fun thing about experimenting with video codecs is that your results are visible in a very real way.
You should give YouTube Music a try. It has both the "regular" catalog you'd expect from Spotify (high quality audio, organised by albums, etc.) + more indy bands that publish their music on YouTube.

Graylog is a good alternative, check it out.

If OpenShift didn’t do the heavy lifting of deploying and securing Elasticsearch I wouldn’t be using it at all, and because of that mess I actually use Graylog in my lab at home because it’s substantially less of a pain in the ass and security isn’t a feature locked behind a proprietary license or writing your own proxy.

Funny you should mention that, in about a week I'm planning to make public a frequency list collected from a corpus of over 40k Spanish news articles (I've been working on Langliter for a long time). Since I'm finding the lemma of every word in the corpus and I'm tagging each word with its PoS, it's actually a really valuable list. I plan to update the list quarterly as my corpus grows.

I'm currently only using it to calculate a modified version of the Dale Chall readability score. Figured people could make good use of it and it would be a good way to drive people the the site.

In reality the functional difference at this point is low for new devices. Also when you spend $1K on something you don't expect it to degrade so badly in a year or two like these devices do... And certainly have low incentive s to replace it

I'm running it on Google Container Engine, Go for the main API layer and CockroachDB for the DB. I actually have a blog post in the works for why I chose CockroachDB. The tl;dr Langliter is offline first so most of the data is synced in the background. Therefore some additional latency makes no real difference and the resilience of a CockroachDB cluster is really impressive.

And good eye, it is React Native app. I should probably look into following platform style guides eventually ( I wouldn't count UI design as a real strength on mine :-) )
Sounds like your bosses have been a little micromanagey. Talking to more senior managers have been great ways for me to gain valuable perspectives on their goals and ask questions about how to achieve them. They should also be interested in a more unfiltered view from talking to the rank and file.

> Why should it be any higher?

Because it can be. Because we’re the richest country in the world and yet for some reason we force people into bankruptcy because they didn’t have health insurance on the day they had a medical emergency.

I want:

1. People not to have to worry about seeing a doctor because they can’t afford it.

2. People not to have to worry about having shelter.

3. People not to have to worry about where their next meal will come from.

4. People to be able to provide a solid, basic, decent life for themselves and their families.

5. People to be able receive an education without it being onerously expensive.

Among other things.

I don’t think these are intractable problems for a civilization that sent people to the moon, perform open heart surgery, and deliver energy consistently and safely to millions of people.
Managing notifications properly?

There is no proper management of notifications. Either you store them completely out of sight (and thus are not notifications, but messages), or they interrupt you without taking into account how important the work you're doing is.

I hate notifications, and is why any time I've been forced to use slack, I use it through their irc gateway and disable all notifications.

Android can't easily do this. Each manufacturer and even carrier often bakes in their own custom features to the OS. Rather than just Google pushing an OS update, Google has to post the update, then the manufacturer updates, then the carrier updates... finally allowing the user to have an updated OS. This process takes months and sometimes over a year to occur if it ever does.

Apple meanwhile is the sole manufacturer for phones carrying their OS and as far as I'm aware severely limits the ability of carriers to customize the OS. This means updates are more or less instantaneously available.

There are advantages to Android strategy though, primarily the cost to manufacture and field a device. Carriers and manufacturers can bundle their own ad/crapware into the device to offset costs. This comes at the cost of security and user experience. But, if you get a flagship "Google" phone, such as a Pixel, you get first access to updates without most of the compromises, however you're paying flagship prices.

Not to diatribe too much, but as much heat as Android gets in these arguments, I think the Pixel models are very competitive against Apple when it comes to quality.

As a developer though, the Android system is hell depending on what you're doing. We're on API 27 (8.1) and the amount of devices still on 21 (5.0) and below is nontrivial. Especially outside the US. The changes since 23 (6.0) are significant (and for the better), but to implement features across such a wide range of APIs leads to pretty significant bloat and maintainability issues. On the flipside, I have reasonable assurance an application I build right now will work on a device three years from now without modification, not so true with Apple.

It's definitely something I hope to get to explore. Langliter is only a side project at the moment, so I'm focusing on languages that I have a little experience with. But as long as the licensing is compatible, I've built Langliter to be pretty flexible in terms of the types of tags it could support.
But the one at the top has a bigger pyramid than anyone below. The early adopters have also cleared the pool of most of the easy catches, so your chance of building the pyramid is reduced.

Sure I have backups. The other group took a copy of the repo and changed it over a three month period and never checked back in. The versions were very different and merging my copy in was difficult and required a rethinking and rewrite.. in the end it became three separate components. All of this happened during a management change so the timing wasn't perfect.

> I was looking for fundamental things in our national identity

Actually, you asked for examples of nationalist policies to be opposed, which I provided.

What in the content of those pieces of legislation is "fringe"? If anything, the fact that they are even on the legislative agenda indicates a normalization of nationalist policy proposals.
This thing of having the source "out there" (but not OSS) worries me and is very confusing for users because it creates dangerous grey areas.

That's weird, I am also Canadian and my profile says that they can only proceed with my application with people who hold an US visa and/or work permit. I thought it was a mistake so I contacted their support team and got a reply saying that they can only consider my application if I live in the US.

Did you change your location to some city in the US?

How did you get your application accepted?

On the same note, Hired.com which seems to be a direct competitor, also has restrictions on the locations available for their recruitment process. In Canada, for example, they only accept people living in Toronto. Or people lying about their current location because they are planning to move there.
You're right, credit card processing fee can add up to a considerable amount while processing micropayments, and this was one of our biggest concerns when we started working on this. However, contrary to what we thought, more than half the payments processed are for more than one coffee.

BTW we're currently passing on the card processing fee to supporters.
All this threatening and tensions and military buildup between the US, it’s clients and China as well as Russia sure makes me nervous about the future. Not to mention the recently announced movement of the doomsday clock to two minutes before midnight by the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists.

It would be terrible if the world were plunged into another catastrophe like WW1 or WW2. Unfortunately the lessons from those wars seems to be leaders are only to eager to start war to extend their power and prestige.

I’m sure nobody here wants war, it’s up to us to stop it!

It worked out for me long-term. It really depends on a lot of factors. In my case:

* I didn't actively seek out employment elsewhere. A place I'd interviewed at and turned down in the past contacted me again after they'd finished a large fundraising round. They had a new office, and I was curious just to see how they'd progressed. The whole thing happened fast and they ended up offering me a 50% raise.

* I preferred my current workplace in basically every way except for money.

* I had a great relationship with my boss, who also held a lot of power in the company.

* I wasn't really "just another" developer at the company but was doing some pretty important work.

They matched the offer (exceeded it, really), I took the counteroffer and stayed, and two years later I've been promoted two levels and given multiple further raises and bonuses.
GOLD! :) hahahaha. Resonate a lot with this.
Awesome idea - do they have more than a couple of artists though?

The base of the logarithm does matter, but assuming base 10, a billionaire with an income of say $100M dollars would be 4 times happier than someone with $10k per year income which is pretty close to the floor in the US.
