Another way of thinking about political correctness is respect for your fellow workers. When a too large percentage of women have encountered regular harassment or rape, having an office environment where that becomes a joke is insulting, disregarding, and painful. Why do that when it's just as easy to communicate without it?

There are plenty of fabs left. The problem is that each iteration comes with a staggering cost that takes time to make back. A lot of plants quit chasing the latest and went to niche markets where the money is better. That said, if some of the remaining competitors drop out, and prices rise enough, you'd see a couple reemerge.
No one is owed a complete lack of unpleasant surprises in their life.
You are correct. The ASIC engineering was routine. It was all about justifying the enormous NRE costs... back in early 2011, BTC was a curiosity and not well known at all. Investors were not easy to convince.
I've met and worked out with both Chinese and Taiwanese soldiers. This is a single, unprofessional perspective but you might find it interesting.

Both countries do a sort of military training for their youth, but only Taiwan (last I checked) does a year of required service. That said, there are almost no actual combat vets in either country, and Taiwanese military service is basically "sweep gravel, peon."

BUT! The Taiwanese will come with far greater discipline, based on my experience in on-base gyms. Chinese soldiers spend their days derping around, playing ping pong, occasionally running around a track. Some of them get sent out to the fringes of the country to "suppress dissidents" but the majority sit around twiddling their thumbs (information told to me by privates, so, grain of salt).

Taiwanese soldiers, volunteer and conscripts, do seem to get a great deal more actual military training, in terms of equipment and exercises. And, maybe unrelated, but their general strength levels are way higher than their Chinese counterparts (like I said, I hung out in their gyms).

In any case, an invasion of Taiwan would "fail" by most measures of military success. China could probably nuke the island into Ash, or rain shells on it until there was nobody left to surrender, but there is a highly volatile generation or two growing into a distinctly "Taiwanese" identity. They were political enough to take over their own parliament buildings, while being supported by local businesses with food and water. My unprofessional opinion is they sure as shit would be an aggressively horrifying guerrilla force, especially because ~80% are already trained.
I don't think they'd do it either, or that they'd even need to. I just think it's kinda funny that Apple has enough cash to outright buy both Intel and AMD.

I don't think a company should offer an interview if they're not willing to give proper feedback at the end of it.

When interviewing candidates, I have been more than happy to give detailed feedback if they've asked me to give it. I realise it's unconventional, so I get the feedback peer reviewed before sending it away. I'm pleased to see that there are other companies learning how to give better feedback.

Giving feedback is a small token of respect that a company can give in return for a candidates time.

In my experience, interviewees have been thankful and shared how hard it is to get feedback from their interviewers.
It doesn't.

I'd hazard you are sleep deprived.

It's a perfectly valid and normal reaction. Regular viewer has no reason to suspect that this is anyone special speaking. That comment was indistinguishable from a random thought of a random person, so it was entirely reasonable to request a citation. "That's me, Rasmus" would be enough of a citation of course.
How would you know before taking the job that that was the culture? Would you expect it to come up in the interview somehow? People are generally on good behaviour when candidates are being shown around (which aptly emphasises that they know certain behaviour is wrong)
> Needless to say, you can't objectively compare two candidates' progress if one of them spends half the interview trying to get their environment set up!

If most of the issues revolve around having roughly the same environment for candidates, just create ready to go VM images, for example VirtualBox, and share that with them. Or use a cloud desktop VM.

All of which make it easier for someone to succeed.

I love the concept of electrical cars but that has to come with a leap forward in software quality and electrical engineering quality, which I am not really seeing happen.

The idea of Quality is still, basically, alien in the software field. Some of that can be blamed on 'the marketplace' but then again, I believe that if people are going to call themselves "Engineers" they should take up that old mantle of the public responsibility inherent in that title, as it was developed after much blood and horror was spilled over the failed bridges and railroads of the 19th century.
An interesting word I learnt from listening to Daniel Dennett: synanthrope. Such creatures include pigeons, rats, barnswallows, bed bugs. They benefit from living around humans without providing much in the way of return service.

There does seem to be a trend for embracing and celebrating animals which formerly have been considered ugly or pestilent. For example my son was recently introduced to a tarantula named Miss Fuzzyboots. In parody we have Hagrid of the Harry Potter films trotting out dangerous and/or repulsive beasts for class appreciation ("They're seriously misunderstood creatures...")

Is this a sort of moral/aesthetic inversion or are we genuinely expanding our 'circle of empathy'?

No doubt there are some USB ports that charge quickly — my point is that many of them scarcely charge at all. This is pretty dumb, since the whole point of a USB port in a car is to charge a phone or tablet. I would have guessed that they would put in a port that is capable of charging at least as fast as the 12V adaptor, but apparently this is not always true.

I do all of my academic writing in pandoc. As compared to LaTeX this means no boilerplate (yet you can still use full LaTeX syntax for equations and the like) and, if the publisher 'needs' a Word file, you are one click away from providing it. All with plain text files that you can put under version control, get meaningful diffs, etc. It's just great.
IMO this will be the final forcing function for silicon photonics. ultimately if you cannot scale on-die you have to scale off-die. plus this takes away any further scaling concerns about on/off board components. lastly this will have major implications for processor architecture because memory access latency is quite huge and execution is often stalled for memory access. if you have any doubts about that just look at the amount of area dedicated to caches.

AFAIK Intel & luxtera are the two main leaders in silicon photonics so I wouldn't count intel out yet.
Behind the scenes, Python may have another layer in there to check the socket options, etc, before returning. ie: Just because it looks like it's working on the Python level doesn't mean it's working the same way underneath.

China would do great damage to its own economy by blockading Taiwan. Taiwanese companies employ many Chinese people.
I get what you're saying... but what's the available context of "No means No"?

It's specifically a slogan about sexual assault.

So when you modify that statement to "No doesn't necessarily mean No" you're making a play on words associated specifically with a PSA slogan about rape.

It could be a casual coincidence I suppose, or you could add further context like in the examples you supplied, but on it's own there's really no other way to see it. Sure, while the underlying principle may hold true; be persistent, don't give up too easily, etc., there are plenty of different ways to convey that and specifically choosing this wording seems deliberate.

I suppose it would come down to whether the statement was delivered as a joke in an attempt to get laughs or simply some folks found it funny. Based on the story seems more like the former.

Either way seems like they eventually developed an approach to dealing with culture fit (or lack thereof):

I haven't experimented much with this, so perhaps someone with more experience can confirm. There's a lot of ZFS options and features which I don't fully understand.

If your pool consists of a single drive and it was not exported correctly before being moved to a different system you can still import it by running `zpool import -f pool_name`. I've had this happen previously, and it hasn't been an issue. The zpool man page says the following:

> If a device is removed from a system without running zpool export first, the device appears as potentially active. It cannot be determined if this was a failed export, or whether the device is really in use from another host. To import a pool in this state, the -f option is required.

If your pool consisted of multiple drives, I think it would vary depending on your configuration. It seems like at worse you'd have to use the -F flag when importing, which would cause some data to be lost due to incomplete transactions:

> Recovery mode for a non-importable pool. Attempt to return the pool to an importable state by discarding the last few transactions. Not all damaged pools can be recovered by using this option. If successful, the data from the discarded transactions is irretrievably lost. This option is ignored if the pool is importable or already imported.

However I haven't encountered a scenario which caused me to have to use the -F flag, so I'm unable to speculate further. As I understand it, it still provides stronger guarantees than alternatives.
This is super impressive. What might be some compelling technical reasons to use this over existing C implementations? I just don't know so I thought I'd ask.

I wonder why they couldn't make a design system that integrated or utilized the previous logo, or an updated version of it.

The new one is hideous and redundant, as are all of the alternatives (which look more like positioning/alignment errors in Microsoft Word).

1. "LIBRARY Library" -- really?

2. The colors don't evoke a library OR Congress, but a construction site.

3. There's no "logo" here, strictly speaking: just a bunch of words.

The article even explicitly says "Our view here at the Library of Congress is the image of a treasure chest, filled with limitless information and services, ready to explore and amaze if you open it up."

There's absolutely nothing in this new logo that communicates "the image of a treasure chest" filled with anything at all.

Similarly, the "bookshelf" examples look less like a bookshelf and more like someone having issues putting clip art into text in Word.

I really hope feedback about this logo influences all involved parties to reconsider this design.
Interestingly, if they give concrete technical reasons why people weren't hired in most cases, then telling some people that they were "not a fit" could actually raise a red flag.

Basically, it tells them that there was no technical reason not to hire them, which raises the question of whether it was something illegitimate.

No one is going to charge 90% less than they are able to (except in charity cases). It goes against human nature.

The only chance of this happening realistically is if Intel decide to open their fabs to let others produce their own CPU designs in Intel factories. For example, instead of Apple going to TSMC for their next gen ARM design, Intel decide to do a deal to win that business and produce iPhone CPUs in their fabs. Intel I believe still holds an ARM license from the XScale days, so I suppose an in house design for Android devices could work too.

Historically Intel has been hugely reluctant to do this, as part of the deal when buying Intel chips was that to get access to their advanced fabrication you have to buy their own high margin chip designs. Building other people's chips is traditionally a much smaller margin business, and would be an enormous change to Intel's business model.

I could still see this happening, especially with the current outlook for Intel not looking as rosy as it once was, but it would be a major loss of face for the company that once ruled strong on x86.

The fact that Intel effectively have no market share in the hottest consumer computing market in history (smartphones) is a major failing on Intel's part. Intel selling their ARM business (XScale) to Marvell the year before the first iPhone launched increasingly looks like a pretty terrible decision in hindsight.
This changed recently so both of you are right in different ways.

>What is happening to our culture..

In this case I feel it's a particularly bad combination of the environment of a video game company and young male employees coming directly out of college, which especially in the US seems to be daycare for adults.

No part of the pipeline seems to teach these individuals what it means to behave professionally in a workplace environment, and often software companies do indirectly promote it by purposefully mixing up private and work-life (drinking at work, casual attitude, no hierarchies etc..)

As much as people lament corporate culture these days, I prefer it a great deal to the arrangement described in the post.

My SO works seasonally in Venice, Italy where there are of course a lot of seagulls.

The birds go as far as land on people's heads and steal whatever food the person was holding.

Garbage bags are also considered a food spurce, so anyone taking out the trash so also at risk.

The only time I've ever been shat on by a seagull was when I was carrying a garbage bag.
My bad. I meant graphic design.
They still exist in the US, but are much less common and have a generally terrible reputation. These days, new ones seem to only get built as supportive housing for long-term homeless people with addictions and the like who just can't make their lives work on their own. This means some of them aren't even available to the public as a general rental. They end up part of the welfare system, in essence, and you can't get into them without proving need, which is problematic in its own right.

They used to be just normal rentals for people just starting out who didn't have much money. If you watch old movies or movies set in a prior era (like "A walk in the clouds"), this was normal market-rate housing for folks without tons of money. And that's mostly not the case anymore in the US.

Also, the last time I looked -- back when I actually lived in the San Francisco Bay Area well over a decade ago -- SROs in San Francisco were already more than $1000/month.
>A master's degree will not materially improve your employment prospects but will cost a lot of money and years of opportunity cost.

I don't like "don't do it" advice without any compelling reasons. It is better for me to try and fail than to regret not having tried it. I am going to seek people who will support my desired path.

What if I wanted to work at NASA or Intel? Getting an internship from one of these companies is hard enough. But not impossible, and worthwhile building valuable connections from your internship for referrals to a full-time job.

But going to work there with no formal CS background, no inside referrals, with a non-STEM degree, with tenuous experience is much, much harder.

So there is my argument for wanting a higher education. At least I stated my argument.

Accent is the hardest part of a language to acquire. That person may take 3 months to adjust, or maybe much more. In the meantime that accent hinders communication, which is a bad thing.

Accent is part of fluency, and fluency is a skill, like coding or graphic design. Hiring someone without an important skill in hope he will acquire it later is a risk you may not want to take.

The core problem with Pandoc is that the internal document representation is limited to its particular flavor of Markdown. Any feature PD-MD doesn't support is ignored or loses semantics. You can see this in the poor ReST support (try converting captioned figures). It would be useful to rearchitect it with a Docbook-style semantics internally since they are more comprehensive than Markdown.
