A Rare Glimpse Inside The Heart Of A Quantum Computer
The problem is that unless I'm interpreting it completely incorrectly, your descriptions are comic book renditions based on common prejudices that don't really map to reality, which makes me question whether this is based on experience and exposure to people in the middle and upper class or just an amalgamation of memes you've been exposed to online and have taken as evidence.

Doctors and lawyers typically work incredibly demanding jobs that require a lot of up-front investment of time and money to make their outsized salaries, and they make up a huge portion of the class you called "leeches". And far from not needing to maintain their network, networking is incredibly important for upper middle and upper classes.
That sounds a lot like doing a radix sort of the strings, then comparing the run length encoded, sorted strings ;p
That's a unique approach or at least one that I haven't encountered. I like it.
Random question... where did you get the art you used to make the website? Did you do it yourself?
Agreed. The whole point of elections are not to elect perfect people - they are a revolution, every two years. Trump might not be perfect, but he's a lot better than people in Wisconsin having to rise up against people in California. It's likely that in 2020, the people of {Insert Swing State Here} will not violently murder the president, like they had to during the French Revolution, but will instead vote him out of office.

There's a reason the preponderance of his examples came from countries that were transitioning to democracies, and there are very few examples of violent overthrowing of democratically elected governments.
I noticed that I get uncomfortable even feeling the physical presence of the phone (we are wired so that the body reminds us of things, it serves as a state memory).

What helped was putting the phone into the bag instead of having it in pocket.
>I think unless you're prideful enough to believe you can identify someone's level of productivity

None of the techniques discussed in this article are even attempting to judge productivity, they are attempts to judge coding ability. It's good that you bring up productivity though; that's what we are really after, isn't it?

>from a short conversation

I'd argue 30 minutes to an hour is not a short conversation. Do you think an imposter could fool you about tech (assuming you are an active programmer) for 30 minutes to an hour?

>it's probably better to see the proof

You're not proving anything except the fact that the candidate has memorized a merge sort algorithm (or whatever trivia you are testing for). What you really want to know is, can they ship?

I think you should at least consider the idea that not only are these tests and homework assignments (past fizz buzz) a poor indicator of ability, they active repel any candidate good enough to be in even reasonable demand. I mean you have a lot of people on not only this thread, but many other threads saying the same thing.

Time for a little reflection, what does your company offer that even a mediocre developer can't get in 20 other places in your city? I mean if I could get "market rates," and a "fine cubicle," and "standard PTO" in 20 places, tell me again why I would bother with this rigamarole?
First solar roadways, now this... I'm starting to get rather annoyed with junk science proposals hoovering up funding and attention that could be going to more scientifically sound endeavors.
uint32_t is aligned on a 4-byte boundary, so the compiler optimisation is actually valid in this case. Reading from a misaligned pointer is not guaranteed to work.
Not an expert either, but I think it was slightly different.

Firstly, I believe BGP hijacking works by announcing a more specific prefix rather than path-length. That is to get to 3.3.3.3 A 3.3.0.0/16 route takes precedence over a 3.0.0.0/8 route.

Secondly, this attack did not obtain a valid cert. They probably could have using spoofing (either of MX or just of A records and using lets-encrypt), but they did not.
This might be because the BGP hijack did not affect any CA, or it might just have been laziness.
What separates BGP hijacking from BGP anycast? Amazon is already advertising a bunch of routes to its route53 IP's for BGP anycast. How can an upstream peer tell if a new advertisement is another anycast route vs. a hijacked prefix? Is the only way to tell by validating the advertisement came from Amazon?

I recall one of my friends, when I was at Google, sending me a screenshot of code written by Jeff Dean with an obvious bug. Jeff is, of course, extraordinary, but I wonder how many companies might have passed on him if he submitted that code in an interview setting.

thanks a lot! yeah we have to fix that. US is pretty complicated with different bands & carrier restrictions we're focusing on EU this year.
Hence the follow-up (which I'd ask regardless, as we work our way to more and more hands on stuff). It's okay if someone has never heard of the acronym before. And an answer of "Uh, I remember the C is consistency...and the D is durabilty. But otherwise no" is as good, to me, as remembering the entire thing; it shows you've run across it before, that you've at least read up or received some sort of training with DBs.

I mean, look at this thread; would it be better to start with "Here are some example tables, please write the SQL that will return me (etc)" and turn it into a coding exercise? Because I honestly don't care that much about that from anyone espousing a senior level of knowledge.
Intel CPUs guaranteed correct operation on unaligned accesses. In fact, back in the day, transparent unaligned memory access support, and a strong memory model for SMP, were very strong selling points for Intel vs most RISC vendors.

The "problem" on Intel CPUs started when SIMD instructions not supporting unaligned memory were being used for optimizing generic code. Which is a very good thing, of course. The only problem is that there is many bad quality code around that was written with the assumption of x86 CPUs being "safe" in that regard.
As someone responsible for implementation -- yes, we are probably erring on the side of caution too much, but "probably" doesn't cut it with the potential fines on the line.

-How big is "probably? 5% chance? 0.01% Chance?
-Maybe they will be lax on cookie policy slipups but not on purging delete requests from backups, how are we to know on May 26?
-Maybe they will only investigate the big public giants, or maybe they will respect maliciously-intented complaints from competitors?

This is why, for example, Delaware is the chosen state for corporations -- case law is settled and has a very predictable legal frame work. In the absence of data, its hard to know WHERE people will get the hammer.
OK, what lesson exactly am I supposed to take away from this? Because the last sentence in that post is exactly my point:

"... undefined behavior in C is a pretty scary thing if performance is not your only goal."
Yeah you're correct. There was a great defcon presentation on this in 2015: https://www.blackhat.com/docs/us-15/materials/us-15-Gavriche...

Really the hardest part of the attack, and what makes it so infrequent, is the social engineering aspect of registering the AS and getting an influential peer to accept your advertisements. To really cover your tracks you would need fake identities, fake businesses, fake bank accounts...
I've heard good results from restricting the time you can use something, but not the amount. Don't smoke before 8am. Push that you 8:30. Push it to 9. Eventually you quit.

Mobilecoin is a token powered by a stellar smart contract. I don't care if Moxie or god himself is the lead of the project, because it's incredibly limited in scope (actually stellar advertises that as a feature of their smart contract platform) I doubt it will succeed. And no, a fancy mobile UI is not worth $30mil.

Before someone replies with a quote from the whitepaper about what it /will/ do, don't bother. Until it's released I doubt any and all claims from the team. Because it's no different from any other high profile raise for a cryptocurrency and every single one so far has failed to deliver.
man 2 open section about O_TMPFILE seems to strongly imply that you can linkat from /proc/<pid>/fd to concrete file. Not sure if there are some special cases for /proc/self/fd vs /proc/<pid>/fd, but that would seem bit odd.

http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/open.2.html

edit: nevermind, seems like O_TMPFILE is the one that has been special-cased here, from man 2 linkat:

> This will generally not work if the file has a link count of zero (files created with O_TMPFILE and without O_EXCL are an exception).

The Renegade Sheriffs
" Something I've noticed when speaking in public and looking around at the audience (as one should to be a good public speaker) is that the majority of facial expressions will register as skeptical and unfriendly to my eyes."

That was one of the best things I learned in Toastmasters. Most audience members looked bored or unfriendly to me. Once I realized that this is just normal I got much more relaxed while speaking and have a much better awareness of the mood of a room.
Of course you want the best you can get. I’m arguing 10x is constantly influx for any number of reasons. So it’s unlikely you’ll get one. If you have a process for making engineers into the best then you don’t need to look for the unlikely 10x because you can make them into the 10x high performers you need.

Ive seen companies literally turn good engineers into underperforming engineers...stifling them with process, tech debt, politics, etc... Then they get angry some people can perform and others can’t under the circumstances and conditions the management created.

I’ve watched perfectly good engineers get fired or forced out for not being miracle workers only for people to later realize there was nothing wrong with the engineer in the first place.

You don’t know who is going to be the best until you work with them. I would advise people to pick people they will like even under the worst of conditions and train them to the way you want them to be.
I'm genuinely curious:

Can you name anything interesting which is concretely falsifiable?

Just to list a few things that I believe in, and they're very important to me, but which I assert are not "concretely falsifiable":

Anthropogenic Climate Change

Evolution as the origin of species

Reducing (not necessarily eliminating) access to guns is effective at reducing gun deaths

Bombing Nagasaki was the wrong thing to do

Torturing people is not an effective way to gather intelligence, and it's bad policy

Waterboarding is torture

The US has committed very many war crimes in the last thirty years

Same here. I stopped contributing years ago because my stellar answers were completly rewritten by the community for stylistic purpose, not content or typo. I didn't recognize my work anymore.

But i still get so much rep every day, passively. SO still sends me the top user goodies so i have mugs, tees, notebooks, and even jars of peanut butter.

I still go regularly to SO to read answers and i consider the site as a success, an invaluable knowledge base. I love what it does for me as a consummer, but it's unfriendly as a producer. And unfair. I should not have this rep.
Having been laid off due to downsizing, I think everyone should go through it at least once.

I think it's mistake to recommend life-changing events like this so glibly. A given person may recover and become wiser and stronger. Another person may never recover in terms of career, relationships or mental health.

It's better to look and learn that the market is a harsh place and you should take steps accordingly. If you have to have that lesson engraved on your body, so be it but remember, each person has only so much productive career-time, some many opportunities to make and keep relationships, etc (fired-to-divorced, etc is a common path just for example).
Go to Toastmasters and get used to it. Worked like a charm for me.

You're probably right re: how we're looking at minimalism, and if that range was your aim, your price point seems much more fair.

The mental dissonance came for me simply from my perception of the word "minimal;" I have a wonderful moment of "Oh man someone's finally making the phone I wish I could buy" whenever I see a thread with this or similar verbiage, then the sad realization that I'm apparently too far to the 'throw out everything but your matress' side of minimal.

I was simply surprised to have not seen other feedback along this vein, and moreso when the other commenter was going grey for advocating what I thought were some good examples of models in that range.

Anyway, I'd want to cap this with a friendly "good luck"; Don't take my jaded disappointment as anything more than the whinging of someone tilting at the windmills of eternally larger and more expensive phones. (Although if you DO ever get the chance to advocate for a truly bare-bones-minimalism in a future product, here's a hearty nudge nudge from this curmudgeon.)
They actually do that, too, at least for some period of time. I've searched for a particular question, had a SO result pop up as a result, then clicked on it to find it has a header that says, "This is a dupe of question xyz" with a link to the original. The dupe is still up and may still have answers. So it seems to me that they already do this.
Has it occurred to you that it’s not “where the money is,” but perhaps rather “where human behavior is?” There’s a reason “friendship” apps don’t work.
Yes!

My most recent search for any developments in e-ink laptops was literally yesterday. My understanding is that current e-ink screens are not technically limited to low refresh rates, but are artificially limited to save power. (I think someone hacked their e-reader to run linux at fairly high refresh rates?)

Regarding dumb terminal, if your situation allows you to I feel this is currently one of the better options available. One problems is you still need to browse the web locally and graphically and use various tools not available using emacs and/or the command line. And when internet connectivity is not available.
That's true and a fair point.

Although I imagine many aspects to be the same for many general needs (while clearly not for very specific needs). Ideally, those which aren't (such as, perhaps, the monitor) for said general needs could offer multiple choices.

I wanted to be inclusive by saying "productivity" since at this point I'd be open for literally anything that is purposely designed with those general goals in mind — whatever the professional pursuit. It may still be superior for my specific needs compared to all the bells and whistles I keep seeing.
Depends on how the website is hosted. If it's a tiny website on a single server/VPS, then it's going to be fairly stable with the IP. For anything else, you're out of luck. Shared hosting or PaaS will change ips when needed internally, or to rebalance the traffic, or when new hosts come up. Anyone with large enough traffic will use some edge network like CloudFlare which would also get a different address depending on your location.

Some IPs may stay stable for a long time, but virtually every change to them is going to be intended. And you can't tell easily which one want.
General Linux programming, in a variety of fields.
Really wish more interviews were like this. My favorite onsite interview was when the interviewer printed out a class from the actual system I'd be working on (as I verified for myself later), asked me to figure out what it did, any errors I found, and a few ideas to improve or refactor it. Then he took my code sample and asked me to describe what it did as well.

After that he said "Okay, I know you know enough to handle the job, now I'm curious how much you really know. " (This is key, I feel. He specified I wasn't going to get dinged for not knowing the answers, so I didn't feel the pressure in the questions he asked afterwards, when I usually feel intense pressure, as I know I've been passed over for getting a single question wrong in multiple interviews in the past.) He then asked me some pretty deep questions about low level memory and other things, and if I said I didn't know he turned into teacher mode and taught me the concept.

I actually walked out of that interview having learned something new and useful. I then got to chat with the President very casually, and I received a job offer a few days later.

The interviewer new his stuff, too. He'd been programming arcade games in assembly for decades. His games have sold millions of dollars, and two of the series still get made today.

Ever since, I figured if a freaking legend could be satisfied after reviewing some code and a code sample, the crap I've had to endure everywhere else is completely and totally unnecessary, and it's just frustrated me to no end.
It's basically gets to the point that you either get your shit done, or you don't. I've seen a handful super smart developers starting to code in the newly Xish language, and don't getting to the finish line, either in time or at all. So, you should be proud of yourself for delivering MVP in a hackathon, assuming that that's what you did. When people make fun of you you should tell them to shut the fuck up. Again, as long as it works it can be written in pascal, cobol, assembly or asp native. When you grow up and get to deal with exponential growth, it will be your "rich's worries" to rewrite the code in the newly not mocked Xish lang.
In Russia you have to look angrily at strangers :-). A while ago I read a story how the first MacDonald in Moscow taught their people to smile like americans do and how disturbing this was to the Russians first.

Again, you have completely lost me. Can you explain again why you think it's easier to dig up and smelt natural iron ores (or copper, or whatever) than it is to find an old rusty engine block or electric motor and just use that? Civilization needs metal to develop, in this example, not "mining". And ours has already done the mining!
