The learning loop is very simple here. Do interviews and look for clues. If you don't see clues join. If you see clues after joining, think about how they look from the outside. Then repeat.

AFter a few rounds (2-3) people usually have enough clues that they won't join a shitty team.

For instance if the team's management is full of parasites who have no technical skills at whatever they are supposed to do, then it will be very unclear from the outside what they are actually doing. If the recruiter can't explain it, it's likely that the team has not much skill.

Another example I faced is getting the same technical task in follow-up interviews (e.g. first phone call with one engineer, then a face-to-face with another engineer, both giving the same task). It shows that the organisation is not well since the engineers didn't know about each other's interview, otherwise engineers usually share their experiences and prepare each other.

> the senior person should not date the junior person

What if the junior person realllllly wants to date the senior person. And the senior person kinda wouldn't mind giving it a go. Should the junior be reprimanded for their outrageously flirtatious behaviour? Perhaps we should have a committee draft an exhaustive set of rules that unambiguously eliminate this danger.
Very interesting way to solve it! I like the idea.

Bombs? 200 drones could kill only 200 people. That's a lot of work when a car full of fertilizer could do the same and takes a hour to make.

I think you miss point of the dangers and societal change that might occur around drones. Possibly the biggest factor that will change the way we function is the "fear" from assassinations.

What standard are you using for "efficient"? Thermo-electric coolers are neat, but the last thing they are whatsoever is efficient from a power-usage stand point.

If you're doing chilled water cooling, the only real option to consider is a mechanical heat pump (e.g. the ones in a refrigerator), but even that is silly. Hardware doesn't mind being somewhat warm, and using ambient air for cooling is far more efficient then either.

There's a reason thermoelectric refrigerators aren't really a thing. Peltiers are horrible. Mechanical heat pumps easily achieve twice the efficiency or more.

I was also at Burning Man 2013 (when this seems to have taken place), and some of my female friends were approached by middle aged men who offered them massages. When trying to decline politely, these men used a sort of "uptight-shaming" tactic, saying things like "you're at burning man, you need to relax". They ended up going along with it and felt very badly about it afterwards. I'm not saying this is typical, but it does occur.
Software Mechanic is a pretty good term. A lot of people out there claim to be software engineers (creatively design solutions to problems), when really they are mechanics (apply technical skill and knowledge to already solved problems). Web development is an example of a largely solved problem, the answer to every problem in webdev is to look it up in the manual (Google it). Adoption of this term would clear up a point of mass-confusion in our industry.

Or maybe it's an attempt to bring nuance to the discussion. Granted, it's kind of ham-handed. But absolutist positions frequently turn out to be draconian.

There seems to be no good way to make this point, but most relationships have some power imbalance. Where do we stop? Can you only marry someone your age with similar incomes? Do we encode this into law? Does this become a caste system?

The world seems to be okay with the relationship Bill Gates has. Wouldn't the world be a better place if we wondered how to foster such successes more often instead of designing rules based on an assumption of guilt in essence? Maybe rules that would forbid Gates current marriage aren't as thoroughly thought out and wise as they might seem at first blush.

Designing rules to prevent a worst case scenario sometimes goes very bad places. I have joked it can be a little like me starting a dating profile and putting "No rapists!" at the top of it. This isn't going to accomplish anything good and is likely to go bad places. Good policies need to consider more scenarios than just that worst case scenario we absolutely don't want to see.

You've contradicted yourself. WPF is a .Net technology. Are you saying it pays a performance penalty, or not?

> If you develop on windows with WPF/MFC/Win32 calls, it will be obviously faster than Qt, because you're saving on that bridge calls.

Not so. Both frameworks make calls down into one of Windows' graphics subsystems. This is how all GUI toolkits work.

If draw performance is important to you, Qt might well beat WPF, as it has a Direct3D 12 backend [0]. To my knowledge, WPF does not - as far as I can tell it uses Direct3D 9. Of course, none of this gives us any hard assurances that the performance of one beats the other, but in terms of the inefficiencies of using intermediate layers, it's far from clear than WPF wins.

(I couldn't find any decent concrete numbers on this. I presume that's because GUI draw performance isn't a real problem these days.)

I'm not convinced that Swift is any different (though it well might be a good deal less bloated). It seems unlikely that the syscalls end up all that different simply because of using a different language for your GUI work.

> Why don't you use Qt on Mac then?

Obviously I can't speak for nicodjimenez, but I presume it's because Qt doesn't deliver quite the native Mac feel that they're aiming for. My understanding is that Qt is also a little immature on mobile platforms, but I'm not sure that's relevant here.

It's a bit more performant than MQTT, but it eats more ressources (bandwidth and cpu). It's still practical for IoT (although I use it for the Web), as the C++ implementation (https://github.com/crossbario/autobahn-cpp) targets embeded systems. However, it uses boost, so it won't fit in extrems memory requirements.

All it all, if your configuration allows it, it's way, way easier and more flexible than MQTT to use.

Combared to RabbitMQ, it's not as fast. You can't beat years of optimized Erlang and field testing by fortune 500. Yet, Rabbit MQ is very low level: you need to setup queues, and consumers, and if you need RPC with returned value you will add manual logic on top of it. Don't get me started if you want to load balance consummers. Real life AMQP is hard.

Comparatively crossbar offers a great out of the box experience.

All in all, I'd say the sweet spot for the tech is between the arduino/raspi and an average website/company micro service archi. If you have very small hardware, MQTT could fit in the tiny space, and if you have a 100 message highways interconnecting your data centers around the world, you may want AMQP. Between those, crossbar.io is great.
Advertising prescription drugs to the general public is forbidden in the EU. Any over-the-counter mood-alternating substances, including sleeping pills must not be advertised, too (speaking of Germany, not sure whether this applies everywhere). In TV ads you mostly see over-the-counter painkillers and meds against digestion problems like flatulences. I have never seen an ad for a clinic either.

Similar rules exist worldwide: http://www.who.int/bulletin/volumes/87/8/09-040809/en/ The US and New Zealand seem to be the only countries allowing this kind of marketing.

I find medicine or health-related ads from the US utterly disturbing. While such laws existed nationally since the beginning of the 20th century, the newer EU laws here were made specifically to prevent a situation like in the US (i.e. thanks for providing the useful bad example, guys).

I can't honestly remember how long it took. Not that long, possibly. The first book took a while, but at the end of the book I had decoded what I first didn't understand (by seeing the words used in various contexts), and reading books after that became easy. New expressions and phrases were quickly understood.

Before that I had been reading a magazine about stuff I was very interested in (I for one need more motivation than just 'learn the language'. I believe my interest in what I was reading was crucial, without that it wouldn't have worked).

Then I read a couple of relatively short books about science, again not too difficult. At a later time I picked up a book in the international section in a book shop while travelling for work (lots of hotel time..), and since then I just continued.

And yes I think it does help a lot with my speaking proficiency too (I think that was what you meant by your last question), although it does absolutely nothing for my pronunciation..
Because the fact that they can do such a thing at a profit means the market is inefficient.

Imagine that instead of having a single Tesla, there were two identical companies each selling half of what the actual Tesla does.

Now one of them could offer an unlocked 75kWh version at $1 more than the locked-to-60kWh version (since they cost the same to make and they are profitable) and would capture all the market, so the cost of those two products should be the same.

So Tesla essentially can only do this because they have a monopoly on Tesla-or-functionally-identical cars.

Mostly it's the latter, out of a sense of duty.

But there are other motives. Regular reviews give you some perspective that you otherwise wouldn't get. For example, you see what mistakes others make and that can help you improve your own papers. Another motivation for me is sometimes that I don't want the paper to be reviewed by someone less qualified in my areas of specialization.

> Who the hell are you (or anyone else) to tell Bill or Melinda who they should date?

If you're Google, and Bill and Melinda in this universe were Google employees, you'd be their employer. And employers can (and almost always do) ask the managers that work for them to not date their subordinates, for clear reasons:

1. It's easy, given power, for managers to abuse it. Even unknowingly. With these kinds of relationships it's very hard to tell if they are/were abusing it, so it's better for the company if they didn't happen in the first place.

2. Companies don't want articles like this written about them in the New York Times.

They're paying you to do your job to promote the company's best interests, part of which is not dating subordinates. If you don't want to do your job you don't have to, and similarly they don't have to pay you.

> You don’t get to sacrifice 2 people’s liberty who mind their own business and did nothing wrong...

You're not sacrificing anyone's liberty to date. Managers at these companies aren't being coerced into working there, and have the liberty to work elsewhere — that's the law in California. Having a rule banning a behavior at a company isn't like having a law banning a behavior in a country, where you usually can't just up and join a different country on a whim if you don't want to be bound by your country's laws. You can up and join another company on a whim because you don't want to be bound by your company's policies.
I'm a game designer and developer with 11 years of gamedev experience and decent understanding of ML (couple of online courses, nothing serious). I don't see how using ML for AI would be benificial in any way for any games that I've worked on.

ML makes AI stronger and makes it easer for it to beat players, but as a game designer, it's never my goal. My goal is to make it lose in competitive, interesting, but most importantly, understandable way: I want players to gradually learn patterns behind AI behaviour, understand them and subvert them.

May be it's because my experience is more about simpler and more action-focused games, and in 4x straregies things are different, of course - it's just my two cents.
You actually make his point stronger: Given the difficulty, there are far too few people in it. Instead, people flock to the easy stuff. That's because who pays you if you don't get results within a few years at most? Which is hard for hard problems with no known solutions.

You can always do everything yourself, and given that you can add repositories and the app handles it transparently that's a great alternative. That's assuming, of course, that you do have the expertise to run one. That certainly isn't true for most app developers I know, and that's logical - it's not their field.

It's definitely the best alternative, but that doesn't make it a good alternative right now.
