(3500/2) = 1750 hours, or just shy of one work year with holidays/vacation/etc.

If he is applying to multiple countries, of the course of 5 years, I wouldn't be surprised if 3500 jobs were posted for him to apply to that his qualifications were relevant for.

To be honest, I've applied to a non-negligible number of jobs every year just to keep interviewing and looking for better options. At 30min per application, the limitation was my time rather than the # of positions that were open given how flexible I am about location.

The only difference is I've been continuously employed and the applications are as much about maintaining my ability to interview effectively as it is firing bosses I don't care for.

Good explanation, but what's the purpose of deleting duplicates and "off-topic" questions other than saving some SO storage space?

Edit: IMO closing duplicates makes sense, IFF users are asked 'does the linked duplicate answer you question' and confirm. Deleting only makes sense in case of exact duplicates, otherwise they might be useful variants worth linking.
Makes sense. Thanks for the alternate read.
He's not just a suspect. He's been charged. The article is crystal clear about his status and completely appropriate.
I recently adopted a codebase that (of course) was a mess... I can confidently make that statement as the end users were extremely frustrated with the lack of usability. The front end was just as bad as the back end.

So, I spent 2 months repairing features, rebuilding a few, refactoring quite a bit and on launch day of my updates I received an email from an end user that said:

"You are the best and this is the smoothest it's ever been"

I printed that email and hung it above my whiteboard. Felt AWESOME.
I just hope there's one or two high-end models.

Also, AMD chipsets seem to use more power than Intel. I'd love to see more work in that direction.
I'm confused how a list of clever ways to get executables to initiate other executables is somehow an "exploit" of a programming language offering a system(3) call?

How about we just don't run system calls, especially none that contain any amount of user input.

I have worked on several Python code bases exceeding 500k lines. Not sure why you think that's uncommon.
I'm not convinced that's an example of your point -- "[RMS] cares about his copyleft philosophy and GPL dogma more than the ability of free software to use free software". And some parts of the blog you pointed us to are simply wrong, like saying "[GPLv3] doesn't work for end-user software" is also wrong in that that's not true (there are many GPLv3, GPLv3+ -- GPLv3 or any later version -- and even GPLv2+ programs intended for users to run) and mischaracterizes the underlying issue. The heart of the issue has to do with understanding why GPLv2 licensors won't switch to GPLv3 (which would be fine but risk revisiting this problem again later) or GPLv3+. Furthermore, this is hardly an intractable problem, particularly among copyright holders who want to look out for their users' software freedom.

As http://gplv3.fsf.org/rms-why.html rightly points out, "both GPLv2 and GPLv3 are copyleft licenses: each of them says, “If you include code under this license in a larger program, the larger program must be under this license too.” There is no way to make them compatible.". So LibreCAD could relicense to be either GPLv2+ or GPLv3 which would allow making a program with code from LibreCAD and code from a GPLv3 program. Asking a GPLv3 or GPLv3+ project to relicense under a lower version GPL would be heading in the wrong direction for preserving user's software freedom. Asking the FSF to do a worse job of defending software freedom is a silly thing to ask.

GPLv3 has substantial practical improvements over GPLv2 which all GPL licensors ought to consider. A few examples: nicer termination terms than GPLv2 -- under GPLv2, any infringement causes a infringer to lose their rights under the license unless the copyright holder(s) restore those rights. GPLv3, on the other hand, grants an infringer some time to come into compliance to account for accidental infringement. GPLv3 has anti-TiVOization, anti-DRM, and patent licensing language not explicitly present in GPLv2. GPLv3 has a more modern source distribution requirement than GPLv2 (which was written before Bittorrent). Again, as http://gplv3.fsf.org/rms-why.html rightly points out, "Further advantages of GPLv3 include better internationalization, gentler termination, support for BitTorrent, and compatibility with the Apache license.".

http://gplv3.fsf.org/ has complete details on GPLv3's advantages and http://gplv3.fsf.org/rms-why.html concisely states multiple reasons to switch to GPLv3. There are plenty of good reasons to license under GPLv3 or "GPLv3 or later" to avoid this problem in the future.

Really? Advanced algebra or number theory? Can you show me a coding assignment that required either? Are you sure you're not just excusing your ignorance by suggesting that stuff you've been asked and didn't know the answer to is somehow advanced when it's really not?
I was just thinking the same thing recently with all of the Facebook shenanigans. Anonymity was common sense on the net 20 years ago. Many who grew up in that time will recognise the sentence "We exist without skin color,
without nationality, without religious bias". The dream of the net was a world in which only words mattered.

We sold that out when our Github account, SO profile, email address proved to be useful for finding jobs or improving our social status.

Caveat: I'm a software developer who's worked in agencies for half of my 20 year career. A few thoughts:

1. Branding is hard: everybody things they can do it. Creative direction and art direction are really, really hard. If you haven't seen the "Make my logo bigger cream" video, go watch it, and then have some grace with the Go team. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgcX0y1Nzhs

2. A brand is WAY more than a logo. I get that's the first thing you grab, but the logo is just the identify of the brand. If you think it's all creative mumbo jumbo, I encourage you to go read Aaker's "Building Strong Brands" https://www.amazon.com/Building-Strong-Brands-David-Aaker/dp...

Go read the Brand Guide twice before you start throwing darts. https://storage.googleapis.com/golang-assets/go-brand-book-v...

Having seen 100s of these over the years, this is excellent work from people who honestly care. It also addresses almost every single negative comment on this thread.

I also like how they call out explicitely "The gopher is not a logo" which is entirely true. I think it's more of a "lovemark" (see https://www.amazon.com/Lovemarks-Kevin-Roberts/dp/157687270X)

It's not my favorite logo, but it's definitely on brand.

If the go team is reading this: it might help if you lead with the mark and the mascot together. I think the logo in isolation is what's generating the strong reaction.
Yes, it is a meme. But my feeling is that the idea behind it is quite popular on the internet: https://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/2015/mar/18...
Yes it's immoral but we aren't reponsible for that because we have no power over it and even the people in charge don't have much.

Look at it this way, Google's making a commercial statement with this, that they think Go is important enough for them to brand.

It's like Duke and Java -- Duke still exists as a mascot. I suspect the gopher will be around for a long time to come. If anything this is a harbinger of Go becoming more mainstream than it is already (think TIOBE top-10).

This is true of ANY good logo before it gets traction.

There's nothing special about the Apple logo (or Apple as the name of a corporate name), for example. I mean, seriously, it's a clip art apple with a bit out of it.

What makes it a great logo is everything in your head and heart that is associated, good or bad, with that image.

For optimizations, have a look at section 3 of the XGBoost paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1603.02754.pdf. LightGBM has similar features (e.g. binning: http://lightgbm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Parameters.html#io-...).

Scikit is shockingly slow, in comparison. Also bloated, but that's more a matter of 1) not having a "release" impl that ditches data only useful for debugging, and 2) using 64-bit data types all over the place, despite running in parallel arrays!

Automating tasks is freeing humanity of some amount of necessary labor to achieve (assuming any task is useful).

This means, in a society were things are correctly organized, more average free time for humans, more things we can achieve. Which is desirable, if we are not achieving self destruction or the destruction of our neighborhood. But I'm optimistic, I'm sure we will be able to figure this out at some point that I hope is not too distant in the future.

This is my feeling.

Also, if people like to do something that can be automated, they will still be able to do that. Just not as a job maybe... Or maybe not. Some people still paint pictures that are pretty close to actual photos. And, in my opinion, in a well organized society, people have enough free time to do what they like to do.

Not automating things we can automate is maintaining useless work for humans.
We should just be sure about what can be automated, which is not so easy.
If you replace a cashier by a machine, you may free this person from risking serious injuries in some cases, and from a task that can be dull and repetitive. You also remove some human interactions that people may appreciate (and maybe even rely on) and that a machine cannot provide. I've already gone out of a shop happier just because I had a nice or funny exchange with the cashier, or even a smile. At the end of the day, this kind of things is useful.

I believe we will always need human interactions, some jobs might not be automatable for this reason.

So cashiers might be better replaced by machines in many places for a lot of good reasons, but human interactions have to be maintained somewhere. This may not have to be part of a job however.

And i agree that sometimes, you just want to buy your stuff and go out without having to expose yourself to any human interaction.
My guess is it has something to do with Shopify. Shopify has been getting into physical retail with a PoS system and I am assuming they were doing a good job of bridging the online offline experiences. So it’s an opportunity for Square to do better in this space.

The problem with points is that they become the way to gauge your reputation. In contrast, in fora like HN or reddit (where points are, well, pointless) the username is the way to gauge your reputation.

So I don't care how many points you have in HN, but people will notice if you comment a lot and have deep knowledge.
You're just doubling down on very poor reasoning. Collision avoidance can fail 50% of the time and still result in a massive 50% reduction in accidents. Whereas if autosteer fails 50% of the time while seducing drivers into paying less attention, it's going to increase the accident rate. It is not the underlying technologies that matters here, it's the fundamentally different use cases and compares.

> I have a hard time imagining that the automatic breaking has surpassed the rest of the industry to a large enough extent that could make up for the autosteering being as dangerous as you are suggesting.

This is another comprehension error. You claim was "autosteering at worst had no effect on the accident rate." Thus any increase in the accident rate caused by autosteering, not merely a "large" one, would invalidate your claim.
This article makes the claim:

“Thoughtful liberals and conservatives trained in economics are almost universally against the idea.” –Kent Smetters

Another article makes a different claim:

"Top Economists Endorse Universal Basic Income"

https://www.forbes.com/sites/francescoppola/2017/08/31/top-e...

So is Kent Smetters wrong, or is Forbes citing people who are not actually "top economists", or maybe not even "trained in economics"?
You should be running your application code in some sort of sandbox anyway, to minimize the data available to an attacker in the event of privilege escalation.
People really shouldn't use their corp laptops for personal things. I know they do, but there really shouldn't be any legitimate expectation of privacy on your corporate laptop; not only do you sign a contract stating as such, but anything you create on there (on company time or not) is company IP, whether related to your work or not. California is very careful about protecting employee IP if done on personal time, but only if done without corporate devices.

IANAL, etc.

It works pretty well. I've never felt unwelcome on HN, even when something I've posted gets downvoted. I come away with a more "ehhh, yeah I get it" feel rather than anything resembling the bitterness I feel whenever StackOverflow is the only option in search results.

Give people powers based on how much they use a site and they'll just start pushing people out of the site. It happened a lot back in the day in IRC, happens all over Wikipedia, happens all over StackOverflow. There's a pattern.
Gerald W. Johnson, a journalist who covered The New Deal during the 30’s for the Baltimore Sun, wrote that what angry poor people want is never usually money (or else they would have revolted a long time ago), but hope for a better future for either them or their children. Eric Hoffer, who wrote a book in the 50’s called “True Believer: On The Nature of Mass Movements”, had a similar argument.

UBI is not a long term solution, but I appreciate it being innovative and trying at least. One of the reasons we didn’t get any financial reform in 2008 was that their simply was no other economic system/theory to turn too. Right now, before the next recession, we are developing the theories that will be chosen from once neo-Kynesian economics is shown the door in the years to come.
Disregard feelings, acquire evidence. There is only one concrete numeric analysis among all quoted objections, and it concedes that raising taxes would be sufficient to balance the books, at least in the USA.
The evidence sounds pretty damning to me. I'm curious why you think it's wholly inconclusive

>Investigators then obtained what Anne Marie Schubert, the Sacramento district attorney, called “abandoned” DNA samples from Mr. DeAngelo. “You leave your DNA in a place that is a public domain,” she said.

>The test result confirmed the match to more than 10 murders in California. Ms. Schubert’s office then obtained a second sample and came back with the same positive result, matching the full DNA profile.
My possibly-incomplete understanding is:

* there was enough genetic evidence at several of the original crime scenes to establish one particular person was involved

* after this suspect came to their attention, apparently via DNA on genealogy sites, they surveilled his home and collected additional 'left-behind' DNA – perhaps from his trash, or a haircut, etc? – to confirm a match with the older crime-scene evidence
It sounds like they had semen or saliva from an old rape kit which has been in storage for decades from a GSK rape victim (http://www.nj.com/data/2018/04/how_a_nj_pathologist_may_have...), they sequenced it, uploaded it to the genealogy website, got a hit on one of his relatives, investigated that person's relatives until they noticed one guy fit the GSK profile perfectly (law enforcement training, trouble with the law, right age and height, lived in the right place) and then staked him out until they got a discarded soda can or cigarette butt he tossed or which was in his garbage can (remember, if you put your garbage can out on the street, anyone is allowed to take it!), but the first sample was too degraded for a match and they had to get a second one, which then matched perfectly.

Similar experience here.

Once I made an account and tried to be more active. I got told off for asking questions about issues I was having or because my answers weren't liked by someone with high rep.

I gave up on it. I never use my stackoverflow account. I use stackoverflow on a daily basis, to find preexisting issues around what I am working on and read possible solutions, but thats it. I don't consider logging in and asking about an issue I am having, let alone help anyone else.

I feel like the toxicity around the community has led me into that. I do feel like people on stackoverflow are elitists, thats what I am getting about it. I feel like they are playing on a different league than me and they make me feel lesser although I am pretty certain that am competent enough to succeed.

I am grateful for stackoverflow, but I definitely don't see using an account on there anytime soon, and its going to take a long long time for stackoverflow to win me over as a contributor :/

P.S - Out of about 30 devs I worked with in the past / working now with etc I've only seen 3 of them using stackoverflow by contributing to it, or when they get an issue they post about it. The rest of them use stackoverflow the same way I use it which proves a pattern here, at least on my personal circle.

I meant the access to commercial DNA databases. Looks like it’s been explained above.
...and then the genealogy website provided information to law enforcement by showing profiles of people with similar DNA.

Perhaps that’s the real privacy issue... anyone can find a piece of hair on the sidewalk, send it to a genealogy website, and identify who it might belong to and/or any relatives.
> that UBI would require impossible tax increases and also that NIT would be fine.

Intuitively I had thought of the UBI and NIT as very similar except that the UBI seeks to be large enough to be a workable living income, whereas a NIT can be any positive amount (or negative, depending on which way you look at it). So conversely the tax change required to fund it need not be large -- it just depends on how ambitious you want to be.
The obvious thing to do:
