I moved from Unity on 14.04 to MacOS, and it overall feels like a downgrade in the session management department; I miss tiny things like the “number of windows” indicator (MacOS: dot on launcher indicates process is running, regardless of number of windows; Unity: 1 dot means one window, 2 dots means 2 windows, 3 means three or more) or the “running, but windows in another workspace” indicator.

I still occasionally use Unity (once every couple of weeks) and I am not missing anything from MacOS
I have one advise for you, don't assume that because a candidate is more senior than you, he or she should at least know what you know.

Try instead to learn something interesting from the candidate. At the end of your lunch, if you learned something that could help you in your day to day tasks, or in general, maybe it's a thumbs up from your perspective. Let the rest of the team figure the rest out.

I have the Comcast "X1 Infinity Entertainment System" and IMO it stinks. It's a bad sign when the instructions tell you to restart it to solve problems. And at best, the delay from button press to response is nearly intolerable. I think basic UI guidelines suggest something on the order of 1/4 second and this box usually takes over a second. At times I sit there wondering if I need to press the button again. Usually I don't. I just need to be patient. At other times it simply does not respond. I can see a green LED light on the box when I press a button on the remote but other than that, nothing happens. That's when I know it is time to pull the plug. In a competitive market products like this would not be tolerated.

This is not a productive method of communication. You need to clearly state what you mean instead of expecting me to spend 5 comments asking questions to try to extract an actual meaning from your post. I have no idea what you think I inferred. I did not confuse correlation with causation, so you need to explain clearly what you think I mean, since it is not what I said.

Cable TV has been annoyingly sticky in my household. I don’t watch it but my spouse does and any time cutting the cord comes up, her requirements are the same:

- Access to a specified list of channels she likes

- Selecting content should be as easy as on basic cable: type in three numbers on the remote

That’s it. I’ve so far failed to find the replacement. If we were to cut cord today we’d still have to subscribe to multiple services to get the mix of content, each service with their own subscription and UI and menus to navigate. So alas we still hang on to basic cable.
They did say "can" cost you dearly, and didn't preclude other endeavors from costing you...

The ills of over indulging on anything seem fairly obvious.

He does this well in his short story Total Recall. The objective reality is written over by memory implementations. However, he still feels the desire to go to Mars because no memory implantation can override his inherit nature. The Grand Truth is so bizarre that during it's first uncovering everyone believes it is a fantasy. When objective truth is proven true it terrifies those that know it.
Totally agree. We have a lot of builders on the platform already. We started with founders because that's the community we know best, but it's pretty easy to expand it to to all sorts of makers, builders, future founders--generally ambitious people.
I haven't checked what they have released so I could be wrong but my guess is that by open sourcing their tools they might hope to merge it into Linux kernel so that they would not have to maintain their kernel patches. Additionally they could get improvements from others.

Over many plays, sure, but how long should one person have to sit there to see results? As far as I can tell, there is no persistence between sessions. I'm saying making the game 'easier' for the player would decrease both the number of plays needed to get better evolutionary results and also decrease the time between each evolutionary cycle.
I think the advantage behind using something like Big.js is to future proof the code against hyper-inflation. Though a dedicated currency engine would better have the ability to set and conveniently update the currency denomination of stored values to cope with this.

With float64's maximum 'safe' integer at almost ten thousand trillion, I believe this should be enough to compute most commercial transactions securely as long as the amounts base denomination is up to date (eg cents or dollars or megadollars).

The quantization noise mentioned in this article is possible to round off when appropriate.

Dumps all work related ideas out of my head for me to feel like I can leave work at work.
My point is not about democracy vs authoritarian, but rather extreme individual liberty vs more restrictions (by law). Sure you won’t do bad thing but you cannot prevent every other people from doing so when it is their “freedom”. When a society tries to maximize individual liberty, there comes a heavy cost that it could drag down the total wellness of the entire society.

For example, chewing gum is forbidden for good reason in Singapore, vandalism is heavily punished, simply carrying drugs is a capital crime. All of these sacrifices in individual liberty actually make Singapore a much better place than US to live in.

Singapore also has a democratic process in their government. Given that most Singaporean are contempt with their government, there is no sign that people want one that maximizes liberty.
Sierra – A SIMD Extension for C++
> precursor to studying kernels or databases or compilers

While widely used kernels are still written in C, new ones are often not, and vast majority of new databases isn't either. Its java (Hadoop, Solr), Go (InfluxDB), Rust (Tikv) among others. That's if you want to be prepared for today. If you look into few years ahead, its also TLA+, Idris or Coq. Same for compilers, its increasingly rare to see anyone choosing C for that domain, especially as a language for teaching them.

> Should schools be teaching C at all?

I'd change this question to "should schools have any say in deciding what to teach?". Wouldn't be better to offer a list of options and let students do the market research and decide on their own?

> It can be very informative to implement some of the features found in other languages in C

That's not how programming works today. You are given those as language primitives and don't think about it same way you don't think how the hardware implements "if" in C.
You may be curious and find some use for this knowledge if you have it, but its not very useful when you want to "teach C" (and its also very ephemeral).
Well I guess it succeeded artistically in giving me the impression that it was totally shameless marketing and not just another PKD conspiracy theory.

Apparently product placement in Blade Runner is a curse:

10. IT’S CURSED.

It might not be quite as hardcore-cursed as Poltergeist or The Omen, but Blade Runner has a curse of its own … on the businesses whose logos appear in the film. Atari, Pan Am, RCA, Cuisinart, and Bell Phones all suffered severe business problems in the years shortly after Blade Runner’s release, as did Coca-Cola, whose 1985 “New Coke” experiment was less than successful. Members of the Blade Runner production team refer to this as the “product-placement Blade Runner curse.”

The first seven algorithms could be defended as "elementary" methods that would help someone work up to neural nets and deep learning. But once he starts talking about SVM, I think he's talking of a method as sophisticated as neural nets and deep learning.

Neural nets and SVM were competitors - competitively applicable and competitively difficult - in the aughts. Deep learning has now pulled away but not by the discovery of fundamentally more complicated methods. Rather, the process has involved lot and lots and lots of little refinements, through throwing lots of people, advanced-math intuitions and computing power at it, etc. Learning everything needed to create state-of-the-art results is hard (as far I can tell/guess) but the basics are reasonably simple.
Yep, the content providers are 'fixing the glitch' so to speak. With the launch of the new Disney streaming Netflix competitor, etc. we'll be back in a world of silo'd content with bundles and fees and many people who want to do things legit-no-piracy are going to be having to subscribe to multiple services.

If you have a constant load, on premise is always cheaper. Scientific computation has, for a large enough organization, a 100%

If you have a variable load, cloud infrastructure may make sense if you can easily auto-scale.

In my experience, most business real world applications are multi tiered applications with variable loads hence are a good fit for cloud infrastructure.

However, attaining the required application flexibility and KPIs for efficient auto scaling is quite hard and require strong functional & technical expertise.

That could be, and the same logic applies.

The upshot of my comment was something like this: lurkers likely interpret a post as the OP being on some sort of mountaintop. In this view the moderators and voters are spread out along the mountainside, helping some hikers reach the top and hindering others from getting there. Thus, it looks to the lurkers like the mountaintop is a place where "unwanted" commenters have been stopped from climbing up and only "desirable" discussion occurs. (For whatever definition of "unwanted"-- it doesn't matter and we'll come back to that.)

To the OP, however, the experience is much more like a parking lot where anyone who wants to can walk up and interact with OP. Later the mods and voters come in and "clean up" the lot so that it appears to onlookers that there were no "unwanted" interactions with OP-- only "desirable" discussion.

Now, let's assume 100% of downvoted comments are actually good faith actors who happen not to agree with what you call the "hivemind."

Because of the manipulative design of Reddit, here's what will happen:

* people who agree with the hivemind point of view and don't want dissenting opinions will overestimate how good Reddit is at facilitating "desirable" discussion. They will do this because the OP's interaction with dissidents is hidden from them.

* people who disagree with the hivemind point of view will underestimate how much interaction OP had with dissident points of view. They will do this because OP's interaction with dissenting opinions is hidden from them.

Hivemind peeps lose because they want OP to have what they consider a pleasant discussion when in reality OP is expending considerable energy having what they would consider an unpleasant discussion.

Non-hivemind peeps lose because they develop an exaggerated sense of the problem of dissidents not being heard. They were heard by the OP, but the non-hivemind peeps don't see that interaction.

OP loses because the hivemind peeps consider the discussion a success and overlook the problem of OP (and many others) expending energy on the more adversarial interactions. But OP loses again because OP's adversaries don't credit OP for interacting with dissidents!

There are different players with different needs which are often contradictory. I don't like to spend many time in-game. Ideal WoW for me is 3 hours/3 days a week, when I log in, enter raid with my friends, spend some time inside trying to kill some bosses, log out. But there are many people who want to play 8-12 hours every day and they love when they can spend that time improving their character. So developers are trying to balance game for both types of players. Basically they are doing rewards which diminish in geometric progression. You can spend hour to get 1% power increased. Next hour will get you 0.5% power increase and so on, so you can spend hours and get that increase, but there's some limit and different players can draw it for themselves. Those who spend more time will be more powerful and those who don't want to spend too much time won't be too that much behind. But still some players think that they are obliged to spend those hours to farm those few % of power even if they hate the process, they just want the rewards. It's unhealthy behavior and only self-control might help there, I guess, otherwise player will burn out and unsubscribe from the game. Probably a hard balance from game developer perspective.
This is basically how I felt back in 2014 after I pretty much stopped using all social media.

I have my facebook only to announce big events and let immigration officers know that I love my wife very much by having a detailed photo album of all our interactions over many years.

It's incredibly annoying that at this juncture I have to keep it because of what other people / entities want rather than myself. This is why I refuse to use LinkdIn instead of job boards or the career sites for the company.

The aggressive commercialization of Social Media has been the greatest failure to be borne out of the internet and our society will be suffering its effects for many years. At least the stockholders (who are probably too darn old to use the site) are very happy.

Edit: I also very much appreciate the irony of spending so much time and energy on posting on Hacker News!
In Bangkok, the tourism is spread around the city.

This is how tourism works in LA. The tourist locations are so spread out from one another that the mobs of tourists can't overwhelm any particular part of the city.

That being said, events like this past weekend's Sportsmageddon and last year's Women's March demonstrated that LA is fully capable of handling large masses of visiting crowds without much negative impact other than more garbage.
Ah you're right. First I've heard of USB 3.2, but here's news from 2017: https://www.anandtech.com/show/11667/usb32-update

I have a USB-C drive enclosure, but looking at the specs it's only USB 3.1. Newegg doesn't even have 3.2 as an option when searching by external interface in their hard drive enclosures section. The day when you're actually losing anything by not having USB-C devices seems a ways off still.
I know Amazon prices aren't exactly perfect for enterprise storage costs, but they imply tape is at least 4x cheaper (assuming you are using enough to amortize the cost of the tape drive):

6.25TB tape is $28 : https://www.amazon.com/HP-HEWC7976A-Ultrium-6-25TB-Cartridge...

6TB HDD is $120 : https://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Expansion-Desktop-External-ST...

EDIT: Commenter below points out this 6.25TB tape is actualy 2.5TB physical -- still cheaper, in terms of $/GB, but not the 4x I mention above -- closer to 2x.

This is my favorite response so far. I don't really have much interest in the bezel or not debate. I just didn't get "edge to edge screen" as a good description of what was being sold. By that definition, all displays are edge to edge unless you deliberately obscure some portion of the screen.
You are right now. ;) I went to Fedora (28 on my work laptop, Rawhide on my desktop) largely because it mostly resembles my RHEL/CentOS production environments--dnf rather than yum, but that's a performance improvement more than anything--and is roughly as supported as Debian/Ubuntu for third-party software.
The thing with absorbing cultures, sightseeing, and taking photos of landmarks is that to an outside observer they all look the same.

I did not attack anyone.

>If you do not want your writings to be open to interpretation, then be specific.

I am sorry it was unclear. Not every miscommunication is deliberate, try to assume good faith. I have since clarified, is there something you still are unclear about?

>No, but saying that this is because of their genetic is.

No it is not. It is a statement of objective fact. When you control for every other conceivable factor, you are still left with a very large gap that can only be explained by genetics. And now recently, we have identified a number of genes that directly correlate to IQ, and their prevalence varies with race just as would be expected.

>You bring it to back up an opinion. And this opinion can definitely be racist.

It can be, but it is not. Black crime rate being high explains black arrest rate being high. This means the standard argument that black arrest rate is high due to white racism is not a given. This is the comparison I was making. The belief that racism is the cause of problems is not supported by evidence, and in fact those people pushing that view cause racial tension, conflict and violence by ignoring objective reality and pushing unreasonable demands like that black people have population proportional representation in high IQ positions.
