Just came here to say that I have struggled with this in the past too. I used plain text for tracking, and reduced the number of parallel application to something managable as a workaround. I would have loved a sort of CRM that not only keeps track of application and interviews, but also store my homework and personal notes for the interview and similar resources.

EDIT: I also create slightly customized resumes for each type of job I apply to. (E. g. backend, system development.) To keep track of which resume I sent to a particular company, I just keep multiple PDF. The process is tedious, especially when I need to update something in the base resume, like adding an experience or a technology.

Should subreddits about thug-rap be worth tolerating? Do you think those lyrics spread "hate"? Are you equally vocal about those particular subreddits?
Was that ever really a reason for signed magnitude, or did people just make use of the 2nd representation of zero because because it was available and they couldn't be bothered putting that information in another variable or using floating point or fixed point, or anything else that would have achieved the same result?
The problem is if we speculate by reading between the lines, we still have nothing.

I hate to say it, but this might be an instance where more jargon might help.

"Memory safe" can have numerous implications because there are numerous methods for attacking memory of a program. As far as we know, there's no language that handles EVERYTHING, so maybe we need to start qualifying what these languages mean. Rust landing page does this well, "no race conditions, move semantics" but then rust users will parrot "it's memory safe, it's memory safe" and they can't explain how to deal with failed allocations in rust. Not that that's necessarily a big deal, but it's just bad terminology for what is a rather complex issue.

It's almost like saying a language is "type safe". While reassuring, wtf does that actually mean? What kind of types? Is there polymorphism? Is there row types? Is there substructural typing? Type theorists generally have lots of terms to specify what flavor of types they're talking about, and that works well for them.

Rust is kind of bringing a new generation of younger hackers to systems programming and you darned kids need to get off the grass and start being more specific about memory semantics in PLT! /s but kinda serious

Exactly this. Web technologies cannot be understood without understanding the history of the web itself.

You could just as easily imagine, say (random example), Internet + Gopher + Lisp playing the role of Internet + HTTP/HTML + JS.

It was somewhat inevitable chain of events, plus "right time, right place"for particular choices of tech.

I recently got a Facebook ad for a UC Berkeley coding boot camp that was explicitly targeting males 22-34. Fortunately Facebook gives you details on why you’re targeted for an ad.

Screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hpbeves1kf7bvkt/fb_ad.JPG?raw=1
But the return on ads is based on absolute value, not relative value. It would be irrational to spend more on radio when radio doesn't change.
The BASIC implementation on the CDC 6700 behaves almost identical to the much later BASIC implementations on the 8-bit micros such as the Commodore 64.

I'm assuming that this implementation was used for real work, as I doubt the CDC 6700 was used for playing around with.
So that could be damning, but without seeing the whole ad campaign it's hard to tell. If they have nearly identical ads with different age brackets running the gamut, I dunno if that's a problem. But boy does it look like a problem.

It prevents risky optimisations; this now requires the compiler to prove that such optimisations won't change the semantics of the code, e.g. in your case by essentially proving that the high 2 bits of x (only 1 in the unsigned case, due to sign-extension) will never be set.

...and it could be argued that if the compiler couldn't prove that was true, then it just helped you find a possible overflow bug in the code. If you actually wanted the compiler to unconditionally assume (x*2)/2==x and optimise accordingly, then you'd have to tell it such; e.g. MSVC has the __analysis_assume() feature.

It's an open secret in Silicon Valley that most tech companies prefer younger workers. Recruiters do what hiring managers ask for. Most hiring managers won't say it explicitly- they'll say things like 2-5 years experience from top schools or from the FANG companies with experience in modern technologies.
Yikes! As someone who can't stand being the center of attention and also can't stand talking about themselves (yes I see the irony here), this is terrifying.
From my vague systems experience, it makes sense. If everything works, you have time for random nonsense.

You want a sysadmin that’s playing video games all day, because everything is in great shape. Not a constantly stressed , jaded, angry admin. I know nothing of being a CEO, but if the CEO is bored, the company is probably in great shape.

Sorry but I find font-end development pretty stable.

Having to learn a new library every 3-4 years (because of a new job, generally) is it really a big deal?

In my career I also had to learn Java, PHP, C#, Node.js, bash, batch, Python… Build apps with Spring, CakePHP, Symfony 1 & 2, ASP.NET MVC 3 & 4… Query database with Hibernate, Entity Framework, Linq SQL… Handle dependencies with Maven, Nugget… Store data in Postgres, MySQL, SQL Server, Mongo, Redis, Redshift… Host on OVH, Digital Ocean, Heroku, AWS… Learn REST and GraphQL, SVN and Git, Linux and Windows Server, Vagrant and Docker… And according to HN, what's really hype right now is Rust, Go, FoundationDB, Kubernetes, and so on…

Any idea why back-end development is so unstable? :)

Predictable. No word yet on whether the evil witch floats or not.

The entire thing is a fairly transparent attempt to gin up some anti-russian sentiment in the wake of a growing presidential scandal under active investigation that keeps turning up damning evidence. At best it pulls the administration out of the fire for a few days but frankly all its doing is insisting the US is open for business until we find a big enough bus to throw you under for our own political gain.

Same with Huawei. Its difficult to cast an outright ban on import as anything less than telecom players waving their hands and crying red-scare to an audience of congressmen that are either old enough to remember duck-and-cover drills or ancient enough to have actually participated in some of the clandestine blacklisting and CIA funded government overthrow in central America.

Yes, clearly much of the appeal of Beverly Hills is the proximity to wealth. I don't think that's nearly as applicable to San Francisco, given that the proximity to wealth is countered by the proximity to homeless encampments.

I will concede that for some portion of people, the prestige of living in San Francisco is a part of the draw. There are other factors that are probably more important for a lot of people, though. Comparing to Houston, San Francisco is literally 5 times as densely populated, which changes the feel of the city drastically. Houston is larger in terms of population, but it's also massively sprawled. That sprawl drives down the price of homes but also makes much of the city feel like the suburbs (probably; I have not visited).

Houston also spends >100 days/year at >90F, which makes it not comparable to a coastal city for people who do highly value temperate weather.

This is a great comment and an amazing insight. What's particularly interesting is that people have attempted to collapse (almost?) every stage of that abstraction hierarchy individually, but none of them have been so successful as to take over the world.

If you were writing a desktop application, you would still have at least three of the layers (serialized data on disk, in-memory data, and the rendering of the objects), but without the dramatic impedance mismatch that the web platform introduces everywhere.

> No. I would guess the biggest factor is our number one killer, heart disease. Healthy lifespan.... People live a long time with heart disease, but they are never healthy again. Same with many terminal cancers, etc.

Those are the leading causes of death, but not the leading causes of the recent decline in life expectancy (heart disease has not contributed to a dramatic decrease is life expectancy).

The recent decrease is due to deaths from drug overdoses. They aren't the leading cause of death, but they have caused the life expectancy to decrease in the last few years.
Hey - I am a soon to be Xoogler who just gave notice in ethical objection to Project Maven (btw, I hugely appreciate even simple words of support over the issue from this community).

I don't identify as a pacifist - quite the opposite, I think we should fight Project Maven like hell. The DoD wanted to fund a communications network? Cool. A private company recruiting 10k+ engineers on a cool, creative "don't be evil" brand, and then backdooring their work into use by a defense department is not cool (I'm not saying the company doesn't have the legal right to, I'm saying it's a jerk thing to do).

Sharing research, open-source code, etc is fine, and of course defense is free to poach away top engineers. But they can do that through recruiting, not their IT budget. Or if Amazon and Microsoft want to do the work, that's their choice, I never wanted to work at those companies. I think Google is missing a huge opportunity to define itself uniquely here by not canceling immediately.

I believe true neutrality is to do defense for nobody, I would like there to be a premier technology company that international colleagues can work at that serves no military. I wonder how many of my coworkers can't express their solidarity because of their visa status, because the insane cost of living of the bay area, etc. I don't know.
Well, maybe. I obviously don't agree and would love to be corrected - hence the point of discussion. You need to see the parent comments to to get the full context of the comment. I'm probably taking a few poetic liberties in the groupings but thats not inflammatory.

It's not the only example though. In my comment history you will see another set of discussions that are essentially the same (but a few months apart) where I'm arguing that autopilot doesn't imply self driving. One was a discussion which seemed balanced by votes (I probably lost). The other descended into users calling me a "smug pedant" and a lot of bullying, about -35 karma (and ultimately my first banning). I was pretty disillusioned by the experience and couldn't really work out what was so different, and why I was banned for defending my point of view despite the other peoples behaviours.

I would never have interpreted your comment as a flame btw - such is the nature of robust discussion, but I appreciate you pointing it out. I think too often people take an intellectual assault on an idea as a personal assault. They are different, and I welcome them despite the pride I lose hopefully learning a lesson. I'm always genuinely grateful of the time a commenter takes to put me in my place, but usually it is just "pedant" and down vote.
I have a feeling signed-magnitude predates binary and complement arithmetic --- it is, after all, the "natural" way humans work with numbers. A lot of the early non-binary computers used some form of sign-magnitude, all the way back to punch card formats:

On the other hand (no pun intended), early mechanical (decimal) manual adding machines made use of complement arithmetic too:

I know a software engineer who was in Silicon Valley and moved to Bentonville. He makes $100K in Bentonville vs. the $120K he'd make in Walmart, Sunnyvale. He pays half the rent he would in Sunnyvale, can buy a big house for $250K once he gets his downpayment, his wife can go to college subsidized by Walmart and then gets preferential treatment in getting a job at Walmart. There's no way he says he'll ever consider moving back to Silicon Valley.

As for what the Israelis think they saw, Kaspersky had a totally reasonable explanation that made for a far less interesting story - aside from the report on the Israeli malware, which was pretty slick. I don’t have any specific information about Kaspersky (and I’m an anonymous internet comment, so I should not be given much weight anyway), but everything about Kaspersky’s version of the events is consistent with how AV companies work.

https://www.kaspersky.com/blog/internal-investigation-prelim...

I just don’t buy it. Based on what I know about what kind of flimsy intel it takes to extrapolate to irrefutable proof to support what someone wants to be true, and how products in this space work (I have direct experience here, with competing products) it rings of chasing ghosts.

Personally, I think if Kaspersky is compromised, I don’t think it would be from the top down, but rogue insiders. And I don’t think they are unique in that regard.

There is indeed a catch 22 with providing proof. On one hand, you can’t burn an important intel source. On the other hand, we can’t take their word for it. Intel analysts never have the full story, and even with the best of intentions, their interpretations can be extremely wrong. According to Hayden, former Director of NSA, they were certain that Iraq had WMDs. According to him, it turns out that they were just wrong. Oops.

What would be a legitimate use case to segment your ad targeting for recruiting purposes? Perhaps highlighting certain perks like paid maternity/paternity leave, but even that isn't usually highlighted in job ads (at least the ones I see.)

Even if there are legitimate and pragmatic use cases for this, the likelihood of abuse seems high.
It would be difficult to sue for not being the recipient of an advertisement. While it may feel off it is most likely not illegal, because it is an ad and not part of the hiring process.

In the same way that the big bech 4 host hackathons(ie recruiting events) at colleges and not retirement communities or really anywhere other than places where the highest population of the target demographic congregates.
With no specific knowledge and without having read the linked article, I can guess based on Buffett’s MO: he smelled blood in the water and potential to get a really sweet deal.
There are no grounds to sue.

In the US, companies cannot discriminate against 40+ ages for hiring. But that in no way applies to advertisement.

If Facebook puts a job ad billboard in Seattle (mostly white), but not in Atlanta (mostly black), there's no illegal discrimination.

And for good reason: Marketing is always about reaching the most likely targets.

I evaluated a few different Rust web frameworks, where performance was the deciding factor. A minimum viable echo server was put through its paces with `h2load` on a relatively recent MacBook Pro. `actix-web` was literally 100x faster than the next fastest competing framework.

The benchmark result really confused me. But you'll find that the `actix` actors are extraordinarily lightweight and highly optimized around the equally lightweight and highly optimized Futures. The design is hard to beat, from a performance standpoint.
Nothing was dialed back. My previous post just confirmed that our elasticache was not misconfigured. I used the latest github memcached with 14 worker threads as you suggested and your benchmark script gives the same results that we reported for the r4.4xlarge.

1) Actually your earlier test confirms our point that the CPU does not saturate the 10Gbps network with small value sizes. For example, in your 10B value example you got 15M req/sec with 16 cores. This rate is 1.2Gbps (15M x 10B * 8), well below the network limit of 10Gbps. The FPGA would still be ~8X faster at line rate.

2) Regardless of the get/set ratio the FPGA will hit line rate. However, thanks for pointing out that GET requests are much faster in the latest version of memcached, we didn't know that. Looks like the FPGA is only 3X faster for this 10:1 Get to Set workload.

3) Users would prefer if there was no pipelining at all. We only used pipelining to get around packet/sec limitations on AWS. If the FPGA was connected directly to the network we could hit line rate without any pipelining.

We aren't trying to mislead, we are just showing what's possible with the FPGA on AWS: line-rate processing of incoming requests at close to 10Gbps.
The cool part as I mentioned is that the FPGA is still under-utilized so we could add encryption without affecting requests/sec at all because hardware cores execute in parallel. Another idea is to compress the data on the fly.

Agreed that RAM is the expensive part, which is why we picked a CPU instance that had similar RAM to the FPGA instance. Yes we have heard of users caching data to SSD to save cost.
Just a tip, nice hair, clothes and confidence go a long, long way. Male attractiveness is influenced in a large way by status/power/wealth, which clothes are indicative of.

You'll notice your interactions change, because the impact you have on people at first sight will change.

You can change near-everything except your bones. Clothes, hair, physical fitness, bearing and confidence.

You may not have been born attractive in your bones, but you can build yourself a step-ladder to go up a fair few notches.

The way people respond to you, based on your "attractiveness", will get you better everything from treatment in a store to a higher salary cap during job negotiations.
