JSA is being replaced by universal credit. People on UC need to spend 35 hours per week on their job search, and they need to be able to demonstrate this.

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/universal-credit-...

> You should think of jobseeking as a full-time job. You will be expected to look or prepare for work for 35 hours a week, depending on your circumstances.

This requirement is robustly enforced.

I mention this because there are some people in the UK who think that unemployed people in the UK can get away with not doing anything.
I just compared pricing for different providers and here are my results:

Usage: 10000 requests / day

Google Maps:
(3600000 - (28000free * 12)) / 1000 * 7 = 22848 $ per year

Yandex Maps:
360000 rubles or 5600$ per year, but much cheaper for higher volumes than 10000/day

Mapbox:
(3600000 - (50000free * 12)) / 1000 * 0.5 + (fix 500 * 12) = 7500 $ per year

Bing Maps:

And to add to that the whole republic of Ireland has only 4,761,865 so certainly it seems hard to comprehend how many people are unemployed in the chart.
> currently not earning their keep, but not actively searching a job (because they are on the dole) will not be unemployed

Why? If you are on the dole but without any disability or other commitment, you are considered "available to start work", no? Being available is one of the typical conditions for getting unemployment benefits.

> unable to take a job in the next two weeks because the are in a government job market program, will not be listed as unemployed

That's true, and it's one of the reasons why it's not super meaningful to try to compare and interpret these figures without any additional information.
Problem with that is, sometimes some cell in the middle is computationally intensive and I don't wanna run it again. Just going back and changing one function shouldn't run the whole computation.
Seeing whether someone can code has to be part of the recipe. It's surprising how many candidates can't demonstrate basic coding ability. The coding component is better if it requires the candidate to ask questions about what is required, where they can demonstrate their thought process and approach to the problem at hand. Anything that requires more than 15 minutes on a whiteboard is probably overkill. Brainteasers and the like are mostly a waste of time.
It's like how more and more people are "cord cutting" their cable TV. Some keep it because one or two features (e.g. live sports) are still worth it to them, but more and more people are finding alternate ways to achieve the things they really want without feeling like they've gone for a swim in a cesspool to get there.
Thunderforest is a great start for tiles. I'm not aware of a discrete elevation provider, though Graphhopper can be made elevation-aware, I believe. Place search is more difficult (if you're thinking POIs) and it might be worth investigating Foursquare etc.
When I saw the chart I thought: "Well, Germany doesn't look too bad, funny that the people in Eastern Germany always complain."
Yes, encryption is essentially pointless because it only delays the discovery of a hack by a few days. The goal of an MMORPG network protocol designer is to make the official client the easiest/fastest way to train levels and kill monsters, so that writing a custom client doesn't give you much benefit over it.

I don't think any intelligent person would disagree that decentralisation of money is a good thing and that any tech that enables it could easily change the world. What some people, including me, are saying now is just that this isn't it. Blockchain does not solve the problem.
Blocking things like Windows file sharing ports by default is fine, as long as you have the option to turn that off. Other ports, including mail, should be open.
While I agree it is still a much bette situation than in Italy or Spain. Germany is relatively cheaper than France and has better infrastructure. Having a low paying job gets your feet somewhere.

Not having any employability in Spain or Italy is going to be a tough problem.
This reminds me of LOVEINT [1] [2], as a somewhat recent example of how available data on people can, and will, be misused. Despite any claimed heuristic software monitoring controls put in place and any instructions hammered in the first month of job orientation, it's undeniable that Facebook is a treasure trove of information on what people like or dislike, what people do, where they go, where they are, what they talk about on Messenger (think it's private), etc.

I see it as a question of when, not if, we'd see more stories of stalking and abuse (including physical violence) perpetrated by those employed by Facebook. The "authentic names" policy only makes this ever so easier to find and follow people. Firing someone after some damage is done is nothing compared to what the victims have suffered and may continue to suffer.

I personally question the ethics of people who even choose to work for a company like Facebook. So my (hyperbolic) view is that this is not something to be shocked about. Not with Facebook!

Definitely. So if this truly was their strategy, why are they blocking 1.1.1.1 instead of pointing it at their own DNS? It would be less immediately obvious what’s happening versus outright blockage. I really think people are prematurely attributing this to nefariousness.
There is when much of the code was "write once, read never". There's more than a a few dozen MB blobs of dense perl5 code that we had no clue what it actually did, and was told not to touch it, lest many things break.

I had to end up touching one of them, because of things breaking with that subsystem and the new ticketing system that was being implemented. It had the wonderful line

database_user = root
database_password = [current mysql root password]

Lest to say, I no longer work there.

I think that only scanning the stack conservatively should not change much from a completely precise GC. The chances of misidentifying a potential reference to an enormous data structure that is collectable are pretty slim in a memory region as small as a typical stack.

Scanning the entire heap is different because of its generally much bigger size. It's far more likely then to see references where there are none.

They are hard for applications that get even slightly complex.

There is a major difference between that and Reacts approach.
I don't understand what you mean. The map in your hypothetical situation nor this blog post wouldn't misrepresent anything.

Like dleslie said, speculating obviously. However since this is about compliance with EU law, actually location has nothing to do with it. It's about being a EU citizen.

If Facebook refuses to do the deleting thing for an (actual) EU citizen because they claim their location tracking shows they aren't located within the EU, they are going to have a problem.

If, however, the EU citizen selects in their profile that they live in the US, and then FB refuses to delete their data, the courts are probably going to look favourably on them, cause the user explicitly said so.

Since FB most definitely is absolutely, unforgivably, NOT allowed to request or handle the nationality data in EU passports, for purposes of being a EU citizen, they're pretty much going to have to rely that you're whatever nationality you say that you are.
Nope. It's fascinating how many people believe this, but it isn't what that law says, and so sure enough such sites are accessible via my ISP. The ISP is required by law to provide some means by which consumers can choose not to be able to access "adult" content. It does this during sign up, if you pick "Yes, block adult content" it informs you that they choose not to do business with you and suggest you use a different ISP.
You seem quite amused that you were right about a prediction. It must mean something to be right about the future, correct? Some personal achievement?
It's EU data.
Mobile phone cancer warning as malignant brain tumours double
I think lately we are looking for a reason to blame climate change for a lot of things because it is top of mind and we fear it so much. However, a historically cold climate disease like Lyme disease moving south is not explained by warming temperatures. I suspect several reasons.

First, an increase in the natural vectors for parasites. We have eliminated wolves and reduced other predators, and since we don't hunt small mammals for food anymore there could be an explosion in their population. Even deer, which we continue to hunt, have seen rapid population growth over the last century[1]. Looking at the population minimum from the deer population chart, I suspect that other potential disease vector hosts might have gone through a similar minimum followed by a rebound, and parasites are recovering with them.

Second, an increased awareness of these diseases is probably a big factor. I've known many people who have contracted Lyme disease. It used to be a big fight to get a doctor to take the possibility seriously, even in Connecticut where I used to live (the epicenter of Lyme disease)! As of even 5 years ago friends and family of mine could not get a prescription for the required antibiotic until they had a positive test result, which is finicky and allows the disease to progress over the weeks of delay. And Lyme is an incredibly debilitating disease. Diseases like Zika that have much more subtle symptoms (except in babies) could easily go unnoticed.

Finally, keep in mind that malaria, dengue fever, and yellow fever used to be common in the United States. This is a natural range for these kind of mosquito borne diseases. We used to take mosquito population control much more seriously, perhaps we have become too apathetic about it. How many people do you know that are part of the local mosquito control association? Do you make sure there is no standing water on your property? Do we spray for mosquitos any more?

Do you have a simple example of a loop with no sensible derivative? Or rather, of a loop computing something which should have one, but for which AD fails?

If your loop is computing something like f(g(...h(x))) i.e. applying functions in sequence, starting with x, then there's no problem -- dual numbers will compute the correct derivative.

If the loop is an implementation detail, like I think the poisson distribution p(λ,k) is often computed with a loop up to k... then making λ a dual number still works. Clearly you can't differentiate on k, because it's an integer.
Reporting from Greece:

1) most unemployed people are not entitled to any kind of allowance. There are big groups of unemployed people (women, people aged 50+, specialized workers eg constructor workers ) who have given up the hope to find a job except from some occasional paydays (most likely black labor) which they may find from word of mouth. They do not bother going to the "job center/unemployment office".

2) The unemployment office arranges for "training" where groups of unemployed people can attend. The attendants are paid like a 100-300e per month for 1-6 months. During these (otherwise useless) trainings these people are no longer considered unemployed and one can read these disgusting news titles "unemployment down to 30% from 31.5%".

I myself was never counted as an unemployed in Greece until I found my first position (in the UK as an engineer mind you... )

This is important, but I'd still say it's difficult to reason about population size affected in this chart. Its great for showing regional spread and has value, but like most data one visualisation will always prioritise some information over other info. Comparing nations has always been difficult, so I do like that they at least try to show region's proportionate to population.
Apple tried sandboxing everything from the Mac App Store. Developers hated it.

Was it just the execution of the Mac App Store processes or the limitations of that particular sandbox implementation that was bad or are desktop apps incompatible with sandboxing because of the historical freedom they enjoyed?

I think there's more middle ground than you think. Personally, I think blockchain is a useful, interesting technology that can be used to solve a number of problems. And I think that blockchain-based cryptocurrencies are likewise useful as a pseudonymous medium of exchange and will probably be around for a long time. Cryptocurrency has utility and therefore actual value.

I just don't think that 'actual value' is $30k/bitcoin or whatever. I think bitcoin and other coins are overvalued hundreds or maybe thousands-fold and that overvaluation is driven by an enormous speculative bubble of people who mostly don't understand anything about the thing but buy out of fear of missing out in case the price keeps going up forever.

Blockchain is here to stay. Cryptocurrency likewise. $30k coin valuation is a flash in the pan.

Ok, but this is not really a puzzle. It looks like a rather trivial exercise just to see if you can write nested loops. I guess an average software engineer shouldn't have problems with this. Or I am missing something.

Don’t most career fields come with important knowledge you learn as a junior, but don’t actually use on a daily basis? I assume doctors learn a huge variety of things in school, but practically don’t use more more than 50% of that knowledge on the job. But having this knowledge makes you better at your job overall.

I never got a CS degree, but I wish I did. There are times I run into obscure issues where deeper knowledge of the compiler, os, etc would help me understand the problem better, or how to design my code better.
