>> Try to build a system with 150 databases

With Domino/Notes, you should encapsulate that word databases in quotes. A Notes "database" can be (and often are) as simple as a single form. I would guess the Baltimore PD has less than 50 very large Notes databases with the remainder being low use and/or simple enough to require little to no maintenance.

Because of that, the 150 database count is probably as misleading as the $176k metric (which is spread over 2y, making it pretty cheap for a skilled Notes consultant).
That would honestly be a pretty good pivot. The trouble with Gab and Voat is that if you only bill yourself as a "free speech alternative," you get almost-exclusively populated with the sorts of people who have to worry about that (i.e. fringe characters). The community becomes strongly influenced by the "founder effect" of the digital refugees that made up its founding stock.

It would be interesting to have a sort of two-column format, where one column is who you normally follow, and the other column is an auto-generated list of people in the most opposite social-graph cluster.

The lifeblood of places like Twitter is the ability for people to get into loud arguments that people feel matter more than they actually do. If Twitter ever actually did a full purge of one side of the ideological spectrum they'd find a massive decrease in interest. People want to fight deep down and so need the other around.
The right to free speech shouldn't supersede all other fundamental human rights. Why should we afford modern day nazis a platform to call for the extermination of jews, when they so obviously do not respect the right to life or freedom of the people they hate? How can you engage in rational discussion with someone who does not believe you have a right to live?

It’s a full framework for handling almost everything a MUA would do (imap/pop, email parsing, mime parsing, sending email, etc), so yeah, it can do that. You’ll have a bunch of boiler plate code you’ll need, but a Google search will give you plenty of samples.
I don't get what the big deal is about this, am I missing something here? To me it looks like it's just a repo Microsoft forked from react-native.

The repo has only 9 stars and they haven't even changed the README yet. It's not like it's a big open source Microsoft project they're now sinisterly adding Office code to. And even then, the commit title directly mentions Office.
That's right: react + a ton of customization
But it's Microsoft! They must be up to something! /s

This thread is a good example of the "sunlight is the best disinfectant" fallacy.

It is debunked by research. The thread has countless instances of it. In each, someone goes to the trouble of debunking it. The "exposing bad ideas reduces their power" camp is unmoved. The "the research says you're wrong" camp is unmoved.

The false notion is firmly wedged into the public mind because the research came too late. I don't know a good way to prevent this while not shutting down good but unpopular ideas. Letting Nazis, goofballs, and fascists on to all the big social media platforms has obviously not reduced their numbers.

My time is valuable. I see no reason to work on a useless task for free.
Either way, it may indeed be beneficial to return time as a double - so code which stores it in floats will not care about the change, but the code which uses it in intermediate calculations will and it will potentially benefit from it. Notes taken!

Depends on who your family and friends are.

I had a tenant in my other house (next door; we tend to be close to these people) who was trying to start a new business and was having trouble getting a bank loan for more than half of the capital he needed, I told him that he could consider raising equity instead and I told him I might be interested.

The next day he came around and asked if I was serious. I told him that I couldn't be the only investor but if he got other people in on it I would do it.

I put about $2000 in (three months rent) and kept getting rent for another few years. The business ran for about a decade before it went under. I didn't get my money back but I did get discounted merchandise and the pleasure of being involved.

I have no problem with how things turned out because I could afford to lose the money. Had it been $200,000 I might have been seriously pissed...

We audit every single line of code written by our developers. We audit every line of libraries they use. We audit their architecture, their infrastructure, and their plan to move from cloud to bare metal at anytime. Our applications run for decades at a time.

We automate wherever possible, of course, but there are some tasks humans are required for.

It doesn’t hurt for developers here to heed the warnings from professionals who deal with this every day. While the scale is orders of magnitude different, the underlying fundementals are the same.

Having just been through this process (landed a new job after a 2-month search), the worst part about whiteboard coding is how humiliated you feel if you don't get it right or don't know where to start. Is it really necessary to do that to candidates?

I've been doing this for 15+ years professionally, have a master's in CS and I struggled to answer many questions. Just stood there blinking like a goldfish.

If companies really wanted to simulate programming work, you'd give me 10-30 minutes to Google the problem because THAT'S HOW IT WORKS IN REAL LIFE. Which is how it should be; rarely are you solving a new problem, usually other people have faced it before, it's probably far more efficient to start with a known working solution and iterate from there.

Look, of course there things you should know. Data structures, algorithm basics, some complexity theory, etc. But asking me to output numbers in a matrix in a spiral fashion does not translate into real-world ability.

I find the more important developer skills are people skills and project management skills. How well do you work with others? How do you resolve conflicts? What's your methodology for grouping work-- Jira tickets, sprints, etc?

But almost none of the interviewers seemed to care. They wanted to know what exotic technology skills I had, not that I could work with project managers and marketers effectively.

Take-home projects are more time-consuming but the least unfair, whereas whiteboard coding is the shortest but most unfair.

I blame Google for this curse. I hope the next time I go looking for a job this process has changed.
Experience seems to indicate the opposite I think. The danger of niche mobs and/or terrorism is very real and scary, but losing our freedoms in order to address these perceived dangers is always far worse. For all the fear the "alt-right" has generated, exactly how many people have been come to harm because of them? They probably number in the dozens, which is a terrible tragedy but ultimately is that worth losing our fundamental rights? I personally don't think it is.

It's in some cities in the US too. It's not freaky at all for a company to want to protect their assets (the DriveNow cars).

That's a point that deserves some consideration. But there's something that always bother me when people start talking about China:

Always keep in mind that China is a rather poor country. It's per-capita GDP has just passed above Brazil, and that's mostly because Brazil is facing the biggest crisis in its history. When you claim that China is a successful dictatorship, always remember that it's successful only from some points of view.
If I own a nightclub and it becomes a hotspot for the alt-right, who don't align with my values, and I close down that nightclub for that reason, am I censoring them? No, I'm excluding them from my privately-owned space and refusing to associate with them. Nobody's right is being infringed upon here; they're free to go to any other bar. "Whether they can host their own site" is absolutely relevant to what is and isn't censorship because all of the examples in this thread are still totally free to distribute (and even monetize) their content in public.
No one asked for a citation on the widespread claim that exposing bad ideas to the light makes them go away, or at least decline in popularity. It's stated and taken as truth, but no one provided proof that it's true. I matched the standard of evidence applied to the original claim.

It might be wise to actually investigate that bit of "common sense" before betting the future of the world on people's ability to deal with a flood of misinformation. Maybe I'm wrong. No one bothered to back it up with evidence though. Start there, not with my response to the claim.

You could wisely point out I claimed there's research, and I could at least provide it. The research I've seen tells me this won't help since people tend to discount research that goes against their beliefs, and use research that supports those beliefs as reinforcement. It won't do you any good if you start out with a strong belief in the unsupported original claim, as seems to be the case with most people I see here making it.

The other (“remainder”) version which takes its sign from the first argument is pretty much worthless in practice. IMO it doesn’t need any name at all. But what it definitely doesn’t need is a shorter and more convenient name than the useful modulo operator. Its ubiquity is a serious screwup in programming language design, albeit largely accidental.

I've always been in the camp of not doing coding interviews...whiteboard or otherwise. Overall, that's worked well when hiring engineers with 3-4 years of experience or more.

Less experienced engineers are very difficult to assess without some kind of coding exercise. All the hires I've made that I'd characterize as mistakes are of junior engineers that I didn't do a coding exercise with and interviewed well, but didn't bring that interview polish to the job. Since instituting whiteboard exercises for junior positions, our success rate has been higher (no pun intended).

Now I do not mean to be rude, but is it possible that a CEO who is constantly tweeting attacks on journalists and jokes about bankruptcy, who is also busy running two other companies, who built a mini-submarine and jetted off to Thailand to try to rescue those boys in a cave and then tweeted slanders about someone who actually helped rescue them, and who runs around distributing flamethrowers, might be … distractible? A distraction? Both? Plenty of CEOs go around mouthing very serious platitudes about how public markets and quarterly earnings are a distraction from the important business of running their companies, and you kind of have to take them at their word that were it not for the demands of earnings releases they would be laser-focused on operations, but … Musk … like, we can see him tweeting! Twitter is public! The distraction is coming from inside the house! Does he think that “going private” means “getting off Twitter”? You can just get off Twitter! It doesn’t even require any financing!

Tesla has started offering owners free Autopilot trials
Agreed. I’ve had two serious relationships before my current engagement. Both lasted around two years.

After the first one ended, I bounced back fairly quickly because I was so focused on losing weight and studying investing that I adapted to a new sense of self and wasn’t bothered by the breakup anymore.

The second breakup resulted in a lot of unproductive wallowing in self-pity. Would not recommend.

Anybody going through a breakup needs to find a self improvement project, pronto. Go exercise, or learn to play a musical instrument, or sign up for dancing classes, or head over to Adafruit/SparkFun and see what all that Maker hubbub is all about.

They are listening for the wake word. If they were streaming this data anywhere, people would notice. Heck, I would notice as I keep a close eye on them.

I find it amusing that you are not ok with Echo, but you are ok with a cellphone, which not only is listening all the time too ("Ok Google", "Hey Siri") but also has your location information, emails, photos, all sort of messages AND has its own backchannel to upload this information (the cellular data network), which is much more difficult to keep track of.

My Echos are not useless, when you add some home automation they become much more useful. They are still pretty "dumb" though.

Epic interviews from epic crypto investors
I think that's the core question right there. For a while, various governmental bodies got to be the authority figure deciding which ideas were widely propagated. It's interesting to consider the outsized influence of Texas school boards here; the people who decided which textbooks would be used in Texas were elected officials. Texas has a huge textbook market. Accordingly, textbook vendors were incentivized to publish textbooks which fit Texas standards, and other states who didn't have the same influence wound up with those textbooks.

So: "who decides what is and isn't a silly idea?" Texas elected officials.

That's suboptimal in my view. It is also not great that four or five major companies have the same decision-making power. Fixing the problem is difficult, but I take some comfort in knowing that it's not actually a new problem.
