Now as glib as that sounds, let me clarify. In the valley hiring has become extremely focussed towards attracting "talent" but in the FAANGs there is really no way to qualify experience unless you are a brand (inventor of X, co-founder of Y, author of framework Z). Unfortunately also in the FANGs the stacks are extremely customized (after years of picking and choosing what works for said companies), so even if you had a lot of experience you may not be aligned (perception here) with the companies' venerated stacks. This leads to the situation where there is not much room for specialized folks (unless you are again the branded ones). In this situation there are very limited ways of judging candidates in a standardized way. Lo behold puzzles and leetcode! Many companies (in the FANGs) routinely reject experienced candidates who cannot solve leetcode problem # (put in your favorite problem here).

This is for the FANGs and FANG wannabees. At startups the scene is different as you dont have a scaling problem with recruitment so leetcode is not the focal point of your judgement. But you asked how to make "big" bucks and not quantum money!

The motivation is simple, the implementation is more difficult.

People will document things if they feel as though they derive a personal (read -> personal, not party) and immediate benefit from doing so. That's it.

This is why getting motivated to doing unit tests is so difficult. There are many long term and group benefits, but the immediate and personal benefits are limited (especially in relation to the amount of effort).

They could always start with the non food related products. Why does every piece of tech seem to come in a ton of plastic packaging anyway? Not so much the computers, but mice, printers, cartridges, etc...

Reduce or ban plastic from being used to package tech products, toys, media and random non food consumables and you'd probably cut down on a lot of plastic usage now.

I'm undergrad right now and had a class that you describe. It was a web development course, so our teacher posted prerecorded lectures two days before class and we would watch them and do homework exercises on the side that were then due by the end of that next class (so you could ask questions). I actually had so much fun doing this. This worked for me is because I could take the lecture at my own pace; pause, fast forward, etc. Essentially, I could be efficient and effective.

I think those that say "he didn't even teach us anything, he just made us watch videos" are a bit out of touch with how learning works these days. You can find almost any resource online and read up on it yourself. That's how I've learned a lot of what I've done. Having a supplemental class period to expand on this idea is very important, and I think it's a shame some of my peers don't realize this. They expect you, the professor, to engrave it in their heads, but there is a shared responsibility here. Sitting in a lecture doesn't mean you're going to automatically understand the material; you actually have to think about what is being said. That's also why I liked my recorded lectures; I felt even more responsible for making sure I understood it before coming to class.

Sure it does. Republicans use gerrymandering to maintain control and then roll out voter suppression programs under the guise of real id or random re-registration or whatever. Statistically voter fraud is a non issue. Republicans know that their base is dwindling and in the long term the US will become more democratic. As people live closer together and see the impact of policies on other humans they tend to become more sympathetic and democratic. Bush won the Presidency because of the supreme court split based on politics. Trump lost the popular vote. This is why Republicans fought tooth and nail to ensure that Obama couldn't appoint a supreme court justice. They want to maintain a conservative judiciary. Controlling the court, they can limit liberal interpretations of the law. The second amendment reinterpretation hinged on a fucking comma. There shrinking base is is why they defund education and court the evangelical vote. It's why they argue for faith based charities instead of government support. It aligns with the rich paying less taxes and it is the rich who fund this nonsense.
If the LLC members personally guarantee performance, piercing the veil isn't involved (because they are personally liable ab initio.)

If they don't, standard analysis of both the way the company is operated is done, the same as would occur with a noncontract liability where veil-piercing is sought.

So, it's certainly possible for the veil to be pierced in a contract case but not an auto accident liability case, but it's just as possible the other way around. The features you've specified and intuited are the basis for the decision to pierce the veil (and from which you have concluded that the logic is reversed from what would make sense if you were deciding based on those features) simply are not the ones that control the determination of whether the veil will be pierced.

That's an external controller, which is what most people are doing themselves these days, reinventing the wheel each time. Borg has long had an automatic rollback feature on updates, tuned through a few settings on top of the health check machinery. I'm in the camp believing that a basic implementation should be built-in, since health checks are already there. An implementation of this was started, but it has stalled. External controllers should be still allowed, for more advanced scenarios like rolling back upon detection of regressions in latency and similar.

Also, setting up Spinnaker is pretty much as complicated as Kubernetes itself. :-)

As a consumer, I dislike them because they take away control with the buyer/user. If you buy a product in the traditional sense, that's it, you own it and you can (mostly) do whatever you like with it. Resell it, trade it, modify it, keep using it after whatever DRM system is taken down... you get the choice there.

The subscription trends seem like an attempt to sidestep that and remove people's freedoms so companies can dictate how their products are used.

The mentioned price thing is definitely bad too though.

Further, this is an average the bulk is probably dumped during floods when the flow is higher and plastic floats from roads and whatnot into over flowing drainage systems.

One time I got into a dispute with an insurance company over about $500. I sent them a letter outlining the legal basis for my grievance and said that I would be considering legal options in small claims court if I didn't get a satisfactory response.

My point is that you have to be willing to show that you will escalate and you are not bluffing. Companies don't wanna go to court any more than you do.

Interesting. I wonder how different that is from RecordIO. Also, whether there'll be a Go implementation.

[Edit, after looking a bit.]

Pretty different. If I remember correctly, RecordIO is re-synchronizing, whereas Riegeli seems to break things up into 64KB chunks, splitting messages across chunks if necessary.

[Edit, after finding more information.]

Interesting… looks like Riegeli is intended to compress well, rather than just store sequentially.

I don't think programming ability is measured by the number of APIs/libraries one has committed to memory.
The C api isn't the blocker for removing the GIL. The blocker is that Python is a dynamic language and there is no good way to know if another thread has just changed the underlying function on an object or not without having fine grained locking.

Fine grained locking works, but is expensive for non-multithreaded applications and slows down Python. It would speed up multithreaded applications though.
That is how customer service should operate. Husqvarna is the only company I have ever had a major problem like this with. Usually companies try to make their customer happy... not force them to spend money to find out if something is covered under warranty.
I agree with cookiecaper. We went hard (for us) into marketing before giving up and what we learned by going to dev conferences is that people think GitHub is source management. If you talk about any sort of workflow other than what github provides you can just see their brain switch off.

It's sad, because there are other useful work flows, but GitHub is SCM at this point. I agree with what someone said elsewhere, they could swap out git for bitkeeper and nobody would care (well the people that are still butthurt over the licensing would whine but it's apache v2 now, that should be good enough).

100% agree. Most of the time the adaptation is not an improvement.

Maybe a better/clearer point is this: I think Foundation is actually more suited for this kind of treatment because of it's 'flaws'. Aka, the idea is great and the potential is there to make it into something successful.

Of course, we'll have to wait to see if Apple/the production company can pull it off.

I was baffled by this but then read this sentence buried in the article:

> "Unless warrantors provide the parts or services for free or receive a waiver from the FTC, such statements generally are prohibited by the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a law that governs consumer product warranties. Similarly, such statements may be deceptive under the FTC Act."

It seems this rule only applies if the warranty services are not free. If the warranty covers free repair, they are still allowed to deny said free warranty if tampering is evident.
Having an accurate and large knowledge of relevant API's will help you program faster and more accurately, and make better design decisions earlier. (You avoid the "if I had known about these API's, I'd have done it differently" situation.)

It's hard not to conclude that this is one axis in the multi-dimensional "ability" space.
If I remember correctly, the last time I looked into this, there was some doubt about the validity of many of the twin and sibling based IQ studies, because the parents who consented tended to be wealthier.

The upshot was that genetics is probably more of an upper limit on IQ, and that for children raised in poor conditions, environment plays a much bigger role than genetics.
FWIW I did not downvote you.

I welcome criticism as it often helps adjust perceptions and behaviors.

It has nothing to do with what I'm comfortable with him seeing. As a parent I try to instill my perception of good values in my child, while allowing him to develop his own take on them. Everyone's values are different and what I value, you may not. But there has to be a framework of rules and consequences and he has to learn to operate in that framework, preferably before he is an adult and consequences are things like fines and jail.

You've made an assumption that the issue here is my problem with being uncomfortable with something, which I feel is not an accurate assumption. The rest of your argument is based on that assumption.

I'd be happy to discuss the accuracy of this assumption, perhaps I can learn something.

There's no reason to assume that what goes in a landfill, stays in a landfill. There's the stuff that washes away or blows away during years before the landfill is completely covered up, and then there's the stuff that gradually enters the local water supply afterward.

This is a tragedy waiting to unfold.
The law seems to only cover paid warranty repairs. That means if you botched the repair and send it in, it makes it illegal for the company to deny a repair from them. If they deem it to be irreparable, I'd imagine they'd just bill for a replacement.

> Or, easliy write different packages in different languages and combine them into one app.

Just because the binary format can be shared doesn't mean code easily can. There's a tradeoff between requiring lots of glue or sharing a common lib across the langs. Either way, in WASM's current state, only the raw memory is shared and the only types are numeric primitives that can be used to address that memory. How each language lays out, for example, strings may be incompatible and most of the time where I've had to combine WASM libs for things like strings, there is a fallback to C-style (null-term'd or passing the length around).

So, while the common binary format will help open new architectures to existing langs, combining code from different langs still requires manual work and may be underperforming due to requiring they speak to each other in the lowest common denominator of raw byte arrays. Maybe some group will step up and federate a new libc for the WASM generation (even if there's no code and it only defines memory layouts). Even other proposals (GC w/ records/structs, host binding, ref types, etc) that bring higher level features don't necessarily solve interoperability issues.
To the people who use log-scales for visualization of discrete events (e.g. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ...):

How do you deal with a value of 0?

Do you use the same distance between "0" and 1 as between 1 and 10?

On a different note:

In a lot of cases I prefer using something like sqrt(data) or data^(0.x) because a) it smoothly supports the case of 0 and b) it squashes the data less than log.

Regarding b): In a lot of cases I think that log() squashes the information too much and you easily lose a sense of scale. A scaling funtion like sqrt(data) still squashes data with high values but it maintains the feeling of "Oh, this value is much higher than that value" better than log(data).
