> What next, psychometric screening?

I did one about 10 years ago, and let me share a funny story. The head of HR was sitting next to me and right after the psychometric test she gave me a blank sheet of paper and told me to draw a human being. I promptly asked (without even considering my question, I was ready to ask the person's gender right next, looking for requirements): with clothes on or naked? She laughed so hard that I thought I had failed and laughed at it too. I got the job, though.
I highly recommend MAL. It does a great job introducing these concepts.
I can't tell which is which even when I blow them up to the point where I can see the individual pixels.
Why doesn't flockport use layers? I would think it beneficial on many fronts:

1. If user's machine already has some of the layers for other images, no need to download them

2. Updating an app becomes an actual update to the so layer, reusing the underlying infrastructure layers

3. Layering enable hosting commonly used layers on faster CDNs, making downloads faster.

I hope layering is in your roadmap

But it appears unexpected interest/traffic knocked it off the web.
Although I'd really hesitate to say he has a point (considering his positions which seem to be opposed to mine in every way I can see) it's a common rebuttal to an argument advanced by people who support immigration: that such people bring their culture with them, or more specifically, places that sell "ethnic food". The truth of the matter is that you don't need such people to cook the food for you, and this isn't even mentioning the (in my opinion) rather twisted logic in which we'd want immigrants just so that they can cook their food for us - perform a little dance and show, and not talk too much.

Just a comment to underline the bias generated by images: It is sad to see how the press show pictures of Kohl at the very end of his life, with a bitter mimic on his face. The photo of this article makes him look frail - in real life, Kohl was tall, voluminous man, a strong politician who crushed all opposition inside and outside of his party for 16 years.

Please note that I am not commenting on the politcal achievements or failings of Kohl, just at the fact that this photo does him a disservice.

The font is a weird problem. It does have an aesthetic component, but this is actually a choice towards functionality for my own context. I agree it can be unpleasant (I despise it on mobile, for example).

I work on my wiki on a 42" screen, and I've found it very useful to see large bodies of monospace text all at once on my screen (it's part of my workflow). I regularly have 50,000 words worth of tiddlers open at any given time, and I've found the font is useful in development. I'm going to accept the tradeoff for now.

If it ever becomes something which isn't intended for me, but instead primarily for others, I will have to change it.
What? These aren’t on different days, these are on the same day. It is normal even for very good companies (big 4, top quant firms) to have around this many interviews
Zoom in on the pics.
I guess I needed to be clearer there.

I meant experienced programmers in Moscow, Russia. For the most part it's either one Skype call (<= 30m) and one personal interview (1h - 1h30) or two personal interviews. There are exceptions though. I've heard Yandex requiring at least four interviews, but my colleagues all tell me that they wouldn't agree to proceed on such terms.

Apparently, looking for a job is a much more tedious process in the US.
The big missing feature, IMO, is that you can't grow a vdev just by adding a disk -- you have to go through this rigmarole of swapping in a larger disk and resilvering, one at a time.
This is an interesting reaction to the "bootcamp" trend (and subsequent implosion).

I think it has a better chance of succeeding: you might not need four years of university education to become an entry-level developer, but a few weeks of intensive "bootcamp" training isn't enough.
can i ask why you would like a native one? is it too slow or something?
I said that poorly. I meant that it might be dismissed as merely the work of a crazy person. I agree with you; I think TempleOS is fascinating, and I'm blown away that one person built it.
I don't think pointing out that Vine had nothing to do with GIFs (GIFs don't have audio) requires you to be 'super strict on definitions'

Interesting article otherwise though
Huh, I didn't know that, thanks. Still prohibitely expensive in comparison to the monthly fee.
The article is long and I don't have time to read this, but the article seems to imply that "neutral" mutations aren't driving the split between species.

I would have thought though that for a given species in a given timeframe facing many-dimensional gradient pressure for "fitness" that:

- few outlandishly positive mutations would crop up

- natural selection would quickly weed out deleterious mutations (the article addresses this)

- over time a very large number of "neutral" mutations and therefore neutral variations within the species would accumulate since their effect is completely orthogonal to the current pressures the species faces (the article implies that this is not relevant for evolution, however I think it would be extremely relevant as I describe following ...)

The "neutral" mutations would form the "library" of variations that would become relevant at a LATER time when conditions change for a subset of the population of the species and a different gradient becomes relevant. Some of the previously neutral changes would become deleterious in the new setting, while others would provide outright advantages. It is these surviving mutations that would give the sub-group of the original species its new identity.

Conclusion: I would think that the mutations that drive the new species' initial offshoot would come from the inherent variation built up by the prior neutral mutations ... i.e., the evolution was already primed by the prior library of previously neutral mutations and not something that happened solely after isolation and changes in conditions.

EDIT: wording
So an easy defense is to avoid dumping toxic waste on your neighbors. I don't see why people assume seasteaders will be idiots.

Meanwhile coastal cities are dumping all sorts of waste into the oceans. Some of the seasteaders want to build offshore of those, and use forms of aquaculture which would clean up that waste.
Sure, good idea: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1708.09537.pdf

Do community colleges have professors? I thought they didn't really do research at community colleges and they were focused on teaching?
> Are they? Nearly every monitor in my company's mainly mac based office is a 1080p dell. All the monitors I personally own are 1x.

They are not. But I guess the point of the parent poster is that Apple require its customers to spend on latest items instead of supporting old tech.

Basically, it is saying: If you can't afford this, don't buy it. It is fair given that Apple products are already marked up in price.
Sometimes that may not be an option. It may not be linkable into an existing project's code base. Maybe the other project doesn't use an open source compiler. Maybe the client has a custom ISA.

Again if you're in need of a source code obfuscation tool you're already in a pretty strange place.
Really helpful thoughts.

Just to clarify, I didn't mean ship in a weekend, when I said ASAP. Just that I'd like to ship it sooner than later.

I specially liked the advice about not working on things you think you should change, and saving them for v2. That mindset will be really helpful avoiding over-engineering.
> My Amiga 1000 handled all my computing for a decade, and it was still a downgrade in 1995 when I begrudgingly switched to a 486.

Yes. Many Amiga owners I knew, and I myself, felt that way when it became clear around 1993-4 that the Amiga's future was not looking bright. I had invested quite a bit into my A1200 setup (HD disk drives, 68030+68882, MacGyvery external HD using a 2.5" to 3.5" IDE cable) and it could do most things I needed and wanted to do. But the need to collaborate with fellow students on papers, projects (SPSS, AutoCAD) drove me to get a (admittedly low end) 286 PC. I hated it, but it got the job done. I kept my Amiga around for many years after that, and used it, mostly for gaming, well into the 2000s. I finally got rid of it only fairly recently when I moved abroad. I tried Amiga gaming on emulators, but not having a native joystick (Suzo Arcade!) makes that no fun whatsoever.
Another way to describe the MAL concept is that it aspires to be implementation-language agnostic, so that it gives you a series of steps that you're meant to follow regardless of what language you're writing your interpreter in. So the fact that someone else has (or hasn't) already succeeded in doing it in language X needn't affect your ability to do it yourself with language X.

I worked through most of MAL with Python and am currently doing it in Haskell. It's a great experience! (I think a few of the concepts could be explained in more detail, though. Maybe I should send in a patch.)
On iOS the “Unobstruct” app ($0.99 - no connection to me) removes the popover nicely. It’s also great for removing dickbars that block a horizontal slice of the page.
It makes me scared to think that the government has to be trying to develop algorithms to give advice to people higher up on the military branch about the decisions they should make like in eagle eye.
I didn't leave Amiga till Pentium. Decoding mp3s in real time was the killer app that got me to switch.
I would assume it's a scam if I hadn't read the book. There's a fairly large seasteading community, with a bunch of companies, real experiments, conferences, etc. The people behind this project are a major part of that.
I think the other advantage is that at most community colleges you are required to branch out from technical topics and take at least a few humanities and liberal arts courses. You end up coming out slightly more well-rounded which can be hugely beneficial both career and life wise.
How could we make different choices? These choices are rarely made by developers unless it's their own startup. For most IT jobs these kinds of decisions are made by upper management who have to answer to a board of directors, and ultimately to shareholders. No one ever got fired for using Java. (I personally quit C++ and Java many years ago because I thought both were a bit of a mess. Maybe things have improved with Java - I haven't followed it much).

Upper IT management can't just say "we're switching to Haskell because fewer bugs". They have to sell the idea to the folks who will pay for those massive changes which include retraining existing employees. And management does take into consideration how big the hiring pool is. That affects costs. A surge in demand for Haskell programmers would of course create a higher cost for hiring and keeping them.

So they continue to hire Java programmers and students graduating from uni make sure they know Java.

Where is the opportunity for us to make different choices?

Should students refuse jobs in Java? Or without picking on a language, jobs at companies that have the highest software quality standards? That's a lot of idealism and responsibility to ask of someone whose is just hoping they can get a foot in the door and start their career.

Or is there someone else you have in mind that could be making different choices? It does seem like my own personal choice to give up on Java has had zero effect on its popularity.

There is far more at play than the "the belief that this is futile is a self-fulfilling prophecy" although I agree that too is a factor.

I do have hope though. One thing I've seen happen is more and more programmers who were introduced to functional programming at uni and who manage to sneak ideas from that in wherever they can. I think we are slowly moving away from the worst parts of the object oriented paradigm and adopting the easier and better parts of functional programming.

I'm looking forward to see what we end up with. So far, I think the evolution has headed in the right direction and we are getting better and better at this thing we call coding.
I'd be embarrassed to admit to these metrics. This guy has wasted not only his own time by bringing 5x the candidates needed onsite, but his team's, his employers', and the candidates themselves'. A quality hiring process would know with at least a 50% confidence level that the person is worth hiring before bringing them in for the onsite. A phone call or one-hour Skype, or even 3 supplemental ones, is a lot cheaper than the onsite.

It says a lot about the industry that not only is it common practice to have a "concave" funnel where you don't winnow people out early enough and end up making your engineers spend half their workday conducting pointless interviews instead of doing actual work, but also that management writ large is too clueless to be embarrassed.

If anything your engineers did, anything, had a 20% success rate, would you consider them "only the best"? Even if their appraisal of the top 10% of candidates was accurate and reproducible (it's not even close), I'd still expect them to achieve their results with fewer than 3, and preferably fewer than 2 onsites per hire.

Sure, the guy can point to his numbers as some sort of merit badge, but if I told you I washed my hands 400 times a day, you wouldn't consider me some kind of expert on handwashing, would you? You'd rightly think I'm some kind of crazy person.

I mean, clearly Kubernetes has won. That shouldn't be a matter of debate when Mesosphere is doing product releases with top-line functionality designed to make it easier for you to operate Kubernetes.[1]

And Swarm has been a clear loser for a while now.

I say this despite us running a reasonably sized Aurora/Mesos deployment! Three years ago this was probably the right choice. Today I think you end up debating things like whether or not you should go with self-hosting Kubernetes vs managed vs what Mesosphere is pitching now.

Seems to me the rs232 link could be much faster by bypassing the Kernal's bit-banged implementation and going direct to the hardware serial interface on the CIA. You'd have to rewire from the user port a bit.
Or if low-density zoning didn't hold sway everywhere, that person could sell up to a condo developer, get a condo in the new building + some cash. Win-win.
I did have a few professors among the normal “instructors” you typically find at community colleges. For example, one of my music professors had a Ph.D. and did transcription work that the college used.
>Linux can handle maybe 1.5 Mpps per core. That’s barely line rate for 1G.

At what packet size? At 1500B, 10Gbps is only 800Kpps.

In my experience working a large network, 300-600B seems to be the average. Worst case, that's ~420Kpps.
Lol this is most AI these days.

I don't know about explicit out of core geomerty for path tracing in Renderman (completely different from the old REYES renderer which is now completely gone). But view dependent tesselation helps a lot with that (I suspect, but have not yet verified that the island was tesselated uniformly when they exported it out of their pipeline). Textures, which can easily be the biggest contributor to data usage, can be handled out of core using texture caches. These work well when two things are done right: tracing camera rays in blocks for coherent access to the textures and proper use of mip mapping and ray dofferentials for far away surfaces to allow safe access to minified prefiltered texture images. Somewhat counter-intuitively, This also improve overall image quality by bounding the frequency spectrum of the textures, requiring less samples to get an accurate representation.

Per Christensen said in his EGSR keynote last week that typical renders at Pixar use between 35 and 120GB of RAM and sometimes can load in about a TB of data. I don't know how to break this down into acceleration structures, geometry, textures etc.

Don't you need about 20 years of top tier papers to get to the rank of professor?
Problem is that these proofs are not the specification. They are very detailed. Specification says "write me a sort function", and the proof is some gobbledygook that deal with irrelevant minutiae of the sorting implementation. Where is the proof which proves that that proof matches the specification?

It really depends on the prequisite knowledge that you have. If you're good in reading knitting patterns, it means you have a tack for algorithms. If you know propositional logic because you were a philosophy major, then if-statements are basically a syntactic difference and nothing else.

When I was a bootcamp instructor I noticed that my top students were able to pick up React Native or Electron without me teaching them. One student needed to learn the basics of Python, PHP and later on Java Spring Boot. He was capable of doing that.

For students that are in the lowest 33% I would agree, but for everyone above that there is a debate and for the top students it is not a question in my opinion. They are employable, even for different technologies. Of course, they still have a lot to learn, but they also have demonstrated they're capable of doing that making them an investment that's easily calculated whether he/she will be an asset or not.

Most of the apple hardware supports ARB_blend_func_extended or even EXT_framebuffer_fetch, which lets you to implement subpixel blending with ease. Otherwise you just have to fall back to traditional alpha blending and render each glyph in three passes for each color channel, which is not that hard either.

It depends on your hardware. If your RGB are in a different spatial order from the originator it actually makes it worse.

Consider the 3 and 4th images, the "on light" AA and non-AA versions… Look at line number 10, the "let arr1 =…" line. Look at the vertical stroke of the "l" of "let". In the anti aliased version there is a red glow on the left side and a blue-green glow on the right when you zoom in. On the non anti-aliased one there is not such glow. Now lets lay that into pixels on a scanline…

RGBRGBR_________GBRGBRGB subpixel AA
RGBRGB_________RGBRGBRGB non-subpixel AA

So both are just a black gap in an interwise solid line of GBRGBRG dots (I'm hiding the 'rgb' deliberately there, it doesn't exist in the real world on the LCDs where AA works)

If we turn that back into what the computer abstracts as pixels we get…

RGB RGB R__ ___ ___ _GB RGB RGB subpixel AA (see R and GB? halos)
RGB RGB ___ ___ ___ RGB RGB RGB non-subpixel AA

On 150dpi desktop displays it doesn't matter, your eyes aren't good enough. On displays which can be rotated it is a bad idea because the sub pixel AA hack only works in one orientation and that is just confusing.
Community colleges really are underrated. In a world where increasingly a bachelor's degree does not guarantee a job, university education is super expensive, and especially in fields where a bachelor's degree is not necessary (I've never had an interview where they asked about my college education), vocational schools are the place to be.

Four-year universities put big emphasis on well-rounded educations, so you're taking humanities and physical education and biology and math classes in order to achieve a business degree. Community colleges cut away the "well rounded" part and often just tech the skills necessary to get a job at a local company. Oftentimes the instructors actually work at these local companies as their day job, so they know what to teach to.

If your goal is to get a job that leads into a career, go to a CC. If you need continuing education past that, many CCs have programs that let you transfer your credits into a local state university at extremely generous rates. My local CC has a 3+1 program where you can take 3 years at CC and one year at the state university and get a bachelor's degree from the university. The cost per credit hour at the CC is literally half the cost for the university, so you're paying $35k for your bachelor's compared to the $50k you'd be paying for four years at the state university. It's a no-brainer.
