1 in 10 interviews is a hire? How can his methods be described as sucsessfull.

Speaking of my own experience I'd say it takes 6 months to find out if a programmer is good or really good (bad is easy to spot) and being able to tell that in 4h is just self-deception.

I wonder how hireing managers compares to coin tosses after some 15min telephone offsite initial screening and just filtering of resumés.
It won't be awkward once Apple updates that computer's display before the release of Mojave. I'm looking forward to that.
We eat our own dog food. We have a fairly complex piece of software called L-mobile PM (the marketing material for it exists only in German, sorry: https://www.l-mobile.com/geschaeftsfelder/vernetztes-projekt...)

The great thing about having our own tool (which we also license to our customers but it's far from our main focus) is the possibility to adapt exactly to how our company works. It is integrated into everything (integration and offline are our strengths) and when something doesn't fit, it usually takes a few days until a solution is found (or it is already implemented for a customer). It even has a lunch module which adds calendar entries in our outlook when we say we are attending a company lunch, and that is integrated into navision which takes care of the accounting side.

We also evaluated using JIRA at one point in the history. IMHO, if JIRA fits, go and use it, when not, you can bend it but that causes some headaches.

This really seems like a missed opportunity for the company, the dev and the community, in that this could have been a teaching moment all around.

However, seeing her responses after being fired, it may have been a lost cause.
She screwed up massively, because she launched invective at the wrong target because she was frustrated, and even after, she was unapologetic.

But in theory, she could have learned that your frustration with others doesn't entitle you to spew negativity at anyone who offers a counter thought, and appealing to your own authority doesn't prove your point.

Unfortunately, this community sounds like the toxicity has already brewed into a dark sludge of misaligned incentives. If the company doesn't get ahead of it (or the community learning how to police itself), I can see this situation having a greater cost to both sides.

Hamilton’s first shipping container home
> I don't think it's even a valid point to centralize DST above the country level

What about:

- measurement systems (metric, ....)

- unicode

- electrical grid frequencies (50 Hz in all of EU)

- unified road driving rules (green/red lights, ...)

- the euro currency

- electrical wiring standards/colors

- paper sizes (A4, letter, ...)

You could argue the same thing for pretty much all standards.

Why not let each group of people pick it's own set of rules which perfectly suits them.

That is the point of standardization. It drives costs down, just like the invention of the shipping container massively improved transport efficiency.

The current MacBook pro is only .05 pounds heavier than the 13 inch MacBook air, and noticably thinner than the air's thickest point. They are basically the same form factor at this point.

The 13" MacBook Pro with no touchbar is more or less the upgraded MacBook Air with Retina Display that everyone has been asking for for years.
This article feels like it dances around the point of technical questions and the assessment that comes with it, which is what most of us worry about when interviewing.

Soft skills are often treated as if they're there or they aren't. There's not as clear a distinction between 'junior' and 'senior' soft skills. I don't think I've ever gotten a salary bump in the offer for being a cool guy to work with (according to the interviewers). Usually it means I get the job or I don't. This isn't really that interesting to me.

The group stuff is spot on though.

- One on one is often dry. You have to have an affinity right off the bat. This is the equivalent to showing up at a bar and having a fun conversation with a stranger.

- More than two or three interviewers, and it can quickly turn into a company circle-jerk (I've had 15 interviewers once from 4 separate teams in one interview -- that fucking sucked).

And the fact, that nuking is considered a crime against humanity even when you target libertarians.

Does not mean that it will not be tried, though, as soon as they will be seen as a threat to any big player established. But there are lots of easier options, than plain nuking - "terrorists" for example. "A previous unknown generic terrorist group just has hit Seastate X, how tragic"
I think this article is a bit confusing. They talk about floating cities but then they mention building 300 houses on an island in French Polinesia.
Two apps drive it for us which are self hosted on Google cloud 1. kallithea-scm (https://kallithea-scm.org/) generating analysis of code commits, with webhooks to 2. Taiga (https://taiga.io) for project and issue management which we use for kanban boards, sprint planning and review and issues management. They do drive our engineering team on daily basis.
That seems a little tinfoil hat considering the largest consumer use of storage is photos & video, neither of which compress any more anyway.
For agile story tracking and development pipeline management, Pivotal Tracker. Lots of great features for team productivity and health tracking, also helps as you automate your workflow. For general tasks and individual workflow, Trello. By far my favorite UI and delightful experience in using for simple workflow management using a kanban style (which plays a large role when you use it regularly). Trello is less useful the more team members that join and the more complex the workflow you need to manage.
TBH, I can imagine an Ayn Rand inspired city to be pretty interesting.
> On the other hand, I won’t tolerate 1x displays on either platform anymore, so this change hardly affects me.

Well, buying 60 4K displays was out of our budget and the LG displays looked very nice. I guess we're just not rich enough.
Unless they start doing stuff that is crime on the neighboring countries, I don't see why any of them would bother.

But they better have some protection against piracy.
Second Asana. I've been using it for years and it has really improved tremendously over that time. There are definitely still many things missing (most notably for me is the lack of advanced markup in comments/conversations)... but it works very well for cross-functional collaboration and longer-term project management.
Wow, this is just crazy.

> The raw data necessary to render just one frame is available in the “Base” package. [45 GB download / 93 GB unpacked]
Generally, how it works is that there will be multiple hardware-managed ring buffers allocated in host memory, which will point to packet data which also is allocated in host memory. When a packet is received, the NIC will DMA the packet into host memory, update the descriptors in the ring buffers, and trigger an interrupt.[1] That is the point at which the kernel driver can access the packet (in host memory). See: https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents... (section 8.3.3). By "in place" I mean it can be accessed from the location where the NIC put it.

In terms of scaling with multiple CPUs, generally these days the NIC will be able to manage multiple separate ring buffers. Ring buffers can be dedicated to specific CPUs, and the NIC can distribute packets among the ring buffers (in hardware) by hashing on the packet's IP 5-tuple.[2] So long as you have packets that are distributed evenly by that mechanism (not the case when, e.g. the packets all belong to the same connection), you can scale with multiple CPUs. (Presumably the NIC can perform the distribution process in hardware at line rate.)

[1] At high packet rates, there might be an interrupt less frequently than for every packet.

[2] See section 7.1.8 of the linked manual.

Why? I’ve heard for email, it’s eight.
I had to close the article when it claimed the floating city will solve one of the worlds biggest problems - rising sea levels. Really?! Solve?! Is that supposed to be a joke? Just another ICO scam in time for their presale. No wonder Thiel has distanced himself from this garbage.
People have asssumed you're asking "what PM app do you recommend" but you're not - you're asking if engineering managers use one to drive daily activity. Good question :)

Every business works differently, so all PM apps in their default config will match 80% of what you need, for 80% of businesses.

If a manager implements an app without customising it to the business, users will be frustrated, directionless and end up hating the app - see user comments in this thread!

Bespoking it to the business allows users to do their jobs with minimal interaction AND WITHOUT MICROMANAGEMENT.

Finally, without management buy-in (that's you!), without you actually using the inputs and outputs of it, it will fail - lead by example.

Hope this helps :)

The notes and coins for the euro were first issued in 2002, and the first bitcoin was mined in 2009. What makes one a pyramid scheme and the other not?

The answer surely can't be "every currency issued by a government is stable forever and every crypto-currency will collapse before 5 years".

What I'm saying is, there are a lot of currencies out there, and some are more stable and have a better track record than others. You may not trust yourself to pick a winner among the losers, but I suspect you do use at least one currency from time to time, so you have picked one by default.
Why is it that something like this brings people to act like it has all sort of unique problems that haven't been confronted dozens of times already?

How does French Polynesia deal with tsunamis? They have an alarm system and advise people to get to high ground.

On something like this, since it is all construction, you could also build barriers around it to minimize a tsunami.
Or they could just declare them terrorists, easier imho.
Ah ok! I was kinda confused by that xD
> You could argue the same thing for pretty much all standards

Of course, and you can argue colors of the sky and everything else. Back to the subject at hand concerning DST, its value is affected by presence of daylight, and that is different for different people. Not sure why you are bringing up a bunch of non-daylight related items into the discussion for comparison. Maybe some standardized law about requiring air conditioning or some law mandating sunglasses at certain hours on the clock would be more apropos. Regardless, comparisons here do nothing but deviate from the DST discussion.

Obviously for some things commonality has value and for some things it doesn't, can't just say "let everyone choose everything then" as some form of counter or we cannot discuss productively.
This does not make sense. There’s no such thing as a system containter. You can absolutely leverage lxc instead of docker if you want to.

The major difference is that docker gives you 1 process by container and has 1) nailed down a container definition fornat 2) the registry for images.

So Docker makes the whole container thing more accesible, but in the end both rely on the same kernel features + overlay filesystems.
Actually you really want more bits per channel, 32bit color is rather meaningless. HDR is 10 bit per channel.
The platform overview video is basically a screencast, and 480P is a really painful resolution for watching small text, even if I open it in YouTube app instead of the postage-stamp inline size the site tried to show it to me in. For a service that’s supposed to talk to people for me, the fact that you apparently could not find anyone to record audio for a 4 min video really doesn’t inspire confidence.
RAID1/10 doesn't really help with data integrity (at least if it's just basic "standard" RAID). It helps against catastrophic media failure and not much else.
If the "update" also includes removing all the ports except USB-C, getting rid of MagSafe, and switching to an inferior keyboard design to save a few fractions of a millimeter, I don't see much to look forward to.

Seems more likely that Apple will simply discontinue the Air and that the MacBook represents their new vision of what laptops ought to be like.

"typing goo". Generally complaining about the methods used by someone with a novel-peer reviewed result and demanding further and further reductive summarization on your terms, defining said terms with phrases like "typing goo" is bad form.

It's written somewhere 50 engineers from 500 interviews. Plus the one sorted out from initial screening.

Being skillfull on soft skills usually is a euphemism for handeling toxic and antisocial coworkers.

I have personally never thought that the would-take-beer-with rating is even remotely as important as technical skills. And being a corny coworker or a toxic one don't really correlate.
I can imagine them introducing a bug, but most motion of the interp is done in hardware. Otherwise it takes a seriously hefty gpu to do 60hz->120hz interp without dropping frames. Especially at 4K.
You can use Windows for that. Apple have different mindset and it shows in many aspects, e.g. removing big USB ports, audio jacks.

I don't get it. I'm paying a monthly fee to have streaming access to videos. If the service becomes unvaluable to me, I will drop it. For videos I want lasting access to, I buy the disk. These are choices I make knowing how these markets work. If you don't like how these markets work, you're perfectly free to choose not to participate. It's not like anyone is confused or there is some kind of monopoly or even some kind of predatory lending scheme here.

I understand what you say on an idealistic level, but of all things, we (as a species) really ought to be able to agree on what time it is. Time doesn't stop at the border and in this particular case, it would be silly to come up with even more convoluted systems just because somebody wants to be a snowflake.
Oh come on, that's such a stupid brute-force argument. Yes, they did, no that doesn't mean there is no value in discussing if it is good that this specific thing is regulated, or that people aren't allowed to be unhappy about it.
If they get the slightest possibility to do so, yes.
Like, "they support a digital currency, which disrupts our economy, also they support people who write software, which is used by terrorists to communicate, therefore terrorist supporters = terrorists"
Of course. What does that have to do with the discussion at hand about this rule's value? Are you saying they aren't allowed to complain or that the EU should not consider delegating such decisions because they initially agreed not to? The EU would be wise to delegate DST authority to the countries themselves. Just because a country chooses to be part of this whole and it is primarily positive doesn't mean they can't complain of things that are negative.
I believe this has more to do with NetApp's patent claims and technical decisions than Oracle. (i.e. Apple announced to have stopped working before the Sun acquisition closed, before Oracle had any control)
I think if you have such an exposure to so many stat and probability books, and yet cannot recommend one good one, then clearly you are the person fated by the universe to write that one book written correctly. :)
> If they stop fighting after they learn, then no, it's not a problem with the language. It's the very definition of learning.

I think the problem here is how hard people have to fight.

How about take a step back, and view the language as a completely noob, you may found many complexes in the language is unnecessary.

For example, in the sample code, you can found many #[macro_use]s, they are needed to import macros to the local scope. But hey, why I can't just `use slog::{!macro_name, something_not_macro}`?

Well, the doc said: "macro definitions aren’t namespaced within modules like function definitions are. To prevent unexpected name clashes when using external crates ....".

But why macro is not namespaced then? Why user has to learn "the macro is not namespaced" so they have to #[macro_use]? Why not just implement it in a more intuitive way?

Rust team need to consider this: How many complexities can be completely removed from the language, while maintain it's final goal (be a fast and safe system language).
I don't see USB drives with USB-B port or headphones with jacks going away. I don't think that it'll be different with displays in foreseeable future. macOS users are forced to buy hidpi displays, but they are tiny minority and other people will continue to buy cheaper displays, it won't turn industry. Microsoft could force everyone to upgrade by disable anti-aliasing in new Windows version, but I highly doubt that they would do that.

I see how a world with out DST would be simpler, but I have no strong feelings on the subject. Regardless, it would take decades before other countries outside the EU gets rid of DST.

So I have to ask, is this really a fight worth having?
Hi, the build system is quite flexible. It's used to build all the open source apps currently available in the app store.

That DB keyword basically allows you to roll out a linked database container for your app if required. Only Mysql and Postgresql is currently supported. These are Mysql and Postgresql instances that can be used for this.

A lot of apps require databases and instead of configuring it manually this allows some degree of automation so a linked database container can be easily deployed if required.

Well, when was this? Probably a few years ago? We've really improved since then.

In the case I alluded to here it was a configuration issue. I eventually solved it, but it took me about 4-5 hours of Googling and reading settings files. Really not something an end-user should have to think about.

> on way more restricted hardware than what is available even on $5 "computers" today, but lets roll with it

Great. Show me a Linux distribution right now that can do that, while also having the default installed web browser play YouTube. Is it "possible"? I don't know, but nobody seems to be doing it.

I guess the EU isn't used to people taking an interest :)
We understand each other on an idealistic level because I agree with you. But leaving idealism behind and focusing on practicalities of today, while time zones exist and time is changed based on daylight, places with wildly different values that affect that change should have some say in it.
Switzerland tried to not adopt DST when the rest of Europe adopted it. It did not go well, they ended up freely choosing to follow. It's not sovereignty, it's just plain common sense. (European countries are generally much more tightly integrated than US states, even more so when you consider things like public transport - it's easy to live a life spanning 3 countries if you live near a border.)
Chop wood, carry water.

The whole point of a trade union is to standardize things so that you don't have to waste resources customizing your business to the requirements of a bunch of tiny edge-case countries.
Reminds me of my IRC days when I still had to share the family computer. Siblings would get computer time which obviously cut into my irc time, so i did the sane thing and wrote an irc gateway to run on the family computer that’d use the serial port for proxy clients. Then i connected the old 8088 (by serial port) we still had and built a barebones irc client with qbasic. All so i could be on irc while siblings were on the computer..

Practically similar. Bare minimum government is just one step above no government... aka anarchy.

Be careful when interpreting vocabulary. Connotations and wording can serve to obfuscate concepts that are practically the same thing. Libertarianism and anarchy sound dramatically different, but logically the concepts are similar.
By doing on your own research on issues you care about. If you have a strong opinion on something and you're only source of information is your own echo chanmber then you're just intellectually lazy.
