In case anyone reads the article and wonders why 1 is not a prime number I'll give a brief answer.

A prime number has to have the property that not every number is a multiple of it. In the language of abstract algebra this means that the ideal generated by that number is proper (not the entire set of numbers one is considering).

Another reason for discounting 1 as a prime number is that considering 1 to be a prime destroys the uniqueness of prime factorization. For instance, 24 is uniquely, up to order of powers of prime factors:

2^3 times 3

If we allow 1 to be prime then I can write 24 as

1^17 times 2^3 times 3

or I can write it as

1^2 times 2^3 times 3

We lose the property that representations of numbers as products of powers of primes is unique. Thus we have a good reason to discount 1 as being prime and there aren't any good reasons to count it as a prime.

The definition given in elementary school is not the correct one. It's a working definition that works well and is correct for all positive integers except 1. In my experience people remember the definition of: "only divisible by itself and 1". Then they ask, "Why isn't 1 considered prime then?" It's because the definition given isn't correct.
Yes. I agree with this. It's a significant problem.
Do you not realize that this is a bigoted statement?
Economists pushing views and rationalizations against labor-friendly policies (including minimum wage hikes) tend to do pretty well for themselves in America, very odd that they'd feel pressured to recant something that's well received in a lot of circles. Maybe they actually were just wrong the first time around?

All Lime scooters I have seen are Segway, and Lime is one of the top competitors in this space.
If you flip the script, you're saying that an hour of a human's life can be worth less that $15; to paraphrase, it's worth at least an inch of jade.

But, seriously, I don't see the issue with ensuring that low-value work isn't worth it for anyone to do, employer or employee.

If nothing about a person is worth at least $15/hour, well, that sounds like a serious failing of the society that created that person.

From what I've seen, the most needy are the people who's work is worth well more than what they're paid, and who aren't paid enough to begin with.
I truly don't know why this part isn't discussed more. Attracting and keeping a mate has to be 95% of the rat race existence in itself.
Conferences / other publication venues don't require you have a PhD to submit to them. However, figuring out what a good novel research problem is and solving it rigorously is much much easier in an academic environment --- both because you are financially supported to work on said problems and because you have a community of people to tutor you and give you feedback.

Yikes, couple of people I know interviewed recently at Uber also. They seemed to have good experiences and were surprised about quality of questions and culture. Offers, if true, seemed competitive, beating all others (2 out of 3 took the offer).
But I guess if something goes bad, it goes really bad...
Gay marriage is a concept. Trump is currently the president of the United States, the most important actor in the world stage and we are seeing the results of him exercising that power.

A sitting US president, by the strength of their mere words, have the power to change culture. Trump, just by talking the way he talks about the things he talks about, is changing what legal speech is now disavowed by society.

You seem to fail to grasp that a sitting US president is of more consequence than two men marrying one another.
I live in London, and I can tell you that you pay significantly more in order to be within 5 minutes of the tube. And some people want to have children and don't want them out on the streets in the city, so they pay significantly more in order to be close to fast rail links.
Flip it. If you're gong to pay someone $15/hr, you better have something that needs doing that's worth that much to you.

One way to look at employment is that it's your responsibility, as the employer, to know how much a job is worth to you; it's their responsibility to perform that job.

If you're having people do something that's not worth what you're paying them? I would say that sounds like you're not running your business very well.
I've always found Crystal interesting whenever I came across it and finally installed it and got a simple local server running.

Java doesn't contain conceptually difficult features. In Rust you have to learn lifetimes and borrow checking, in Haskell Monads... Java just has a huge amount of relatively simple features. Lisp is middle of the road conceptually, but is a small language.

So in that sense I agree with you. Java is favored by people who struggle to learn harder concepts. That's why it's the usual target of the lowest common denominator programmer and loved by large enterprises that can churn Java programmers like mackerel.

Interesting. I see it's near Lincoln Park, also a very nice location with easy access to O'hare via the blue line. Maybe even better than south loop. I assume it's a bit safer (unfortunately crime rates are still very high in many places across Chicago).
My understanding is that a lot of this abrasiveness on interview day (third interview for me as well) is mainly about judging response and culture fit. I found out a lot more a few months after my own similar experience with Amazon. I think MS's lot drops are far more egregious though.

The keys are not to let it phase you, stay positive and ask clarifying questions to give clear answers. It's often far more about personality than you may think.
I can never tell whose side the recruiters are on. Are they on my side, because if I get hired, the recruiter gets a commission? Or are they on the company's side?
My wifey is a teacher in SD36. I have been trying to get her to use Markdown to make notes for kids and create worksheets/tests. I think this will work!
speaking as someone not in tech (im an engine mechanic by trade) and who has had to hire people in the past

sometimes the recruiter is miles off. its an indication of serious communications problems, for example i had a job posted for a senior level (ASE type) certified mechanic with trade school completed. Because HR gets in a rush, and because newspapers cost money per character printed, half of the requirements got cut off.

So imagine my surprise when I get a junior level tech walking in on monday morning and I sit down with an hour long interview that starts out with me asking her to diagram the one-thousand pound diesel engine in my office. half an hour in im throwing questions about yanbar piston rings, fluid dynamics in the compression cycle and asking for six fault conditions on a HINO engine during warmup and takeoff. I was getting stonewalled in the interview, and getting a little pissed off that this "senior" level mechanic was blowing smoke up my ass, wasting my company time, or so i thought.

I asked her to "cut the bullshit." She nearly had a panic attack. She was nearly in tears, trying desparately to explain how she was working as best she could to finish school, but that she hadnt any experience with "the bigger" engines yet. Confused, I asked her more about the job offer and she conspicuously forgot half of it. Fetching the newspaper from the waiting room and checking it myself, I saw the problem. I'd spent 30 minutes roasting a trade school kid and felt awful about it.

Anyhow i guess what im saying is, its not always you. Sometimes Shirley doesnt double-check the article before she goes on her margaritaville cruise off the coast of south carolina.

That would only happen if the employees with cut hours then didn't spend their now-free hours on other stuff. If they just end up twiddling their thumbs, sure, maybe it's break even.

Maybe the people whose hours get cut are those who need the extra time more than the extra cash. Maybe they take that extra time and use it making money elsewhere, outside of the scope of what the study could measure.

Do you know what those people did with that now-free time?
I have to agree... I feel the lot-drop approach from many large companies is FAR worse than at least some feedback.

In the end, I do feel it's often more about personality and culture than anything technical, once you get past the pre-screen technical interviews.
Stay away. 80% of these sites are toxic dumps with plumes of leaked gas in the earth. Not fun when they go to dig up the road in a few years and you’re held partially responsible for the pollution.

The out of the way places I would look for are schools, libraries, and youth prisons. In many areas between ERate and the Obama stimulus a lot of fiber was run for education and telemedicine. Sometimes counties received grants for fiber rings for school and police purposes as well.
Denver has some great things going for it, like easy access to mountains and outdoor space. But I must say its downtown is pretty unappealing. Many weirdos (similar to Seattle...) and chain restaurants. I enjoyed my trip to Colorado, but Denver was the most boring part of it.

Using Clojure’s Core.logic to Solve Simple Number Puzzles
That's the thing though... they aren't real lambdas. They're just syntactic sugar for an interface. If you watch the talk by the head of Java right now at the Clojure conference, he talks about how they're essentially trying to tack on low hanging fruit in hacky ways to keep the language up to date. But secretly it's a mess.
It's dangerous, weather matters.
Ever since Dulles was built, there’s been a struggle to actually get people to use it. DCA is just so much more convenient. I’ve heard from people who were around at the time that it was virtually a ghost town when it opened, and was a great place to fly small planes since there wasn’t much commercial traffic. Even today, the two airports serve about the same number of passengers per year, despite Dulles being approximately eleven thousand times larger.

Personally, I use DCA whenever I can. It usually takes me about fifteen minutes from car to gate. Dulles takes ages and ages, since everything is so far away.

A lot of the rules are just trying to get people to use that big expensive airport more.
It’ll also be a reasonable Metro ride away starting in about two years.
It’s a prefab shed with a broadcast tower and an 8-12ft fence and a commercial grade door. Not a meaningful challenge to access. There are exceptions — a few AT&T long lines facilities are towers now, but that is truly an exception.

So you have 10 salaried employees and 1 hourly?

Also most salaried jobs have hours written into the contract, so you can’t make a salaried person worked longer just because your business is poorly run.

> Economists pushing views and rationalizations against labor-friendly policies (including minimum wage hikes) tend to do pretty well for themselves in America, very odd that they'd feel pressured to recant something that's well received in a lot of circles.

The economists who do well producing those results work for think tanks (which partisans use to push their agendas and everyone else disregards as biased). These economists work for a public university.
> Every attempt a city makes to move things forward is faced with obstruction and preemption...

Sounds similar to NIMBYism in other places.

No matter your views, politics are frustrating in some way in every geographic area, I promise.
This issue isn’t about economics of course, but what I don’t quite understand is why the right feels like it’s an injustice to change the playing field, like it’s cutting in line, or will put the laws of nature into chaos if someone gets more than their fair share for the work they did. I really don’t follow...
Java is verbose, but it isn't expressive. In Java you talk a lot without ever saying anything. In an expression based language like Lisp or Rust, you can more compactly write your ideas into code, even though Rust might still be verbose syntactically like Java.
Thanks for this example!

Something that David Graeber said that opened my eyes.

Until the 1970s or so, Universities were actually a guild for academics geared towards the production of knowledge. They had self rules, titles, apprenticeship systems, and to some degree the backing and protection of the state. Plus like a true medieval guild, they were run by the masters of the guild itself. Sure, they did not call themselves guilds, but in form and function they behaved like one.

The reason why this arrangement was allowed to stay from ancient days is that the universities performed a useful function for local and federal governments, unlike craft guilds. Governments need a lot of trained clerks, always have. Universities however only need professors to replace the dying batch, as the production of knowledge really wasn't tied to markets or social whims per-se. So a large part of the educated students were turned towards government jobs, a useful arrangement for both parties.

This setup appears to have broken down pretty recently, although exactly why is left as an exercise for the reader.
"""It's not very Liberal, and arguably not hugely tolerant either.

For example, all sorts of activities which are common and normal in the rest of America and the world are either frowned upon, or considered fully uncool in the Bay. Things like fishing. Hunting. Most sports. Talking about sports. Twangy accents. Country music. This is a long list."""

Sorry, this isn't the kind of tolerance I was talking about. You're missing my point if you thought that I meant the Bay Area is a bunch an unopinionated amoeba. The Bay Area is just as entitled to not prefer country music as the South is to prefer it. I don't think liking country music in the Bay Area will cause any sane, reasonable person to treat you differently or not be your friend.

(also, the statement "the Bay Area is not very liberal" may be changing slowly from an attitudinal perspective, but certainly that statement does not bear out in the polls)

Your point is well taken though. You're right that both areas have general views about how things ought to be. The main difference that I think most Californians/PNWs really care about are the differences in views relating to social issues, human rights, and tolerance from a governmental and legal perspective. Thinking that fishing is not cool is a little different than your government trying to ban same sex marriage, for example. And thinking hunting is not cool is different than living somewhere that witch hunts immigrants.
To be honest, it's the publishers that are to blame. I believe most scientist dont really care how it's published as long it is. The publishers run a pyramid scheme.
"Value" is subjective - you or I might value a type of knowledge differently from the way the market does.

However, to the extent that a student is pursuing an education as a means to achieve employment and income, the value of a piece of knowledge to the student _is_ its value to the market.
The part titled "Next 3 Weeks" is where I lost all sympathie for the author. If you're willing to put up with this shit and sacrifice 3 weeks of family time to learn useless algos you're asking to be treated like a piece of cattle.

What would be your theory ?
I think you might actually be understating how convenient the airport is. No need for “basically”: it’s quite doable, and there’s even a trail connecting them.
I guess you could think of it as an "implicit type". I prefer to think of it as a data format rather than a data type. (It doesn't satisfy the meaning of "type" as C defines the word.)

char[n] (for constant n) is an array type. An object of type char[n] may or may not contain a string.
I would really like to respectfully listen to the points of view of the author, but I do not like myself manipulated by this excessive over the top clickbait headings. I hope that we can all return to a more civil discourse without resorting always to the most extreme polarised positions that go by the phrases "influence" and "persuasion" these days.
Most Haskellers write out the types even though they can be inferred. In a pure language, signatures are extremely close to documentation (you know exactly what a function will do by its signature).

Java requires more code than Python or Haskell because it's extremely imperative and statement based. Python on the other hand includes a lot of functional, more expressive idioms like concise list comprehensions.
I disagree that this is a bigoted statement?
False.

Currently an Amazon employee. 40+ interviews + debriefs. Not once has "what did the lunch buddy think?" ever been uttered.

Tuples especially, and more specifically how the language supports their unwrapping.

for idx, entry in enumerate(list)

vs. list iterators in Java where you have to repeat complex types at least 3 times and get about 5-10 times more code when it would only have to be about 2 times to achieve static type safety. Lack of typedef and the resulting drive towards dummy classes is exacerbating this problem further.
Hit me up if you need help ! Email in profile
Here is something from Clojure that stuck with me as particularly elegant:

The -> macro.

(-> {}
(add-person 'servbot)
add-age
add-info
add-to-db
notify-status-by-email
log-user-addition
)

So the threading operator is exactly what you ask. It inserts the results of the previous expression as the first argument as the first argument as the next expression. Note this still supports situations where an expression can take more than one argument.

Additionally, there is the ->> operator which inserts the previous result as the last argument in the next expression and some a library that includes the "magic wand" operator "-<>" ala

(-<> {}
(add-person 'servbot)
(add-age 21 <>)
(add-info 'servbot <> 21)
(add-to-db 'my-db-handle 5432 <>)
notify-status-by-email
(log-user-addition 'dev 'email <> 'paint-by-numbers)
)

This particular set of macros seems entirely trivial until you use it, and then it changes your entire perspective of what functions do since your ability to express the computation pipeline changes completely.

Edit: Update for formatting.
no, not inherently. it helps, though.

note that a PhD in a computer science department is going to be much less bad than the humanities PhDs described in the article.

- they are fully funded, stipends are somewhat higher (at least not total starvation level), and there is the opportunity for lucrative industry internships

- students in general have leverage, because it's possible to leave and go get a high paying engineering job

- there's a bias towards continuing in academia but it's not taboo to go to industry; you don't have to lie about this.

- for a combination of these and other reasons, i don't think an abusive culture has set in: professors don't feel like they need to haze their students.

i don't mean to imply that everything is beautiful and perfect but it is way less culty.
