Does anyone claim that? I thought "high tech companies" have just enough candidates even with this kind of bad practices.
Is Sex Binary?
Yeah this is the part I don't see the clear logic in. I mean how much of a persons preferences are biological vs taught/environmental behaviour. I would accept the results straight up if it's all because of biological reasons but to me it's not that clear. Imagine if we brought up women to be amazon warriors, of course they would have different preferences compared to women today no? You often pick a career after what you are good at already.
No, I mean when an application advertises AES, then they often roll their own protocol, which is broken until proven otherwise (taught by experience). Applications advertising use of an existing protocol (e.g. "Uses [signal/noise/whatever protocol] for end-to-end encryption") are less likely to be broken than those rolling their own.
Ostensibly it’s the same as the Bash example above but because it’s baked into the shell itself I’m able to add a very minimal wrapper around the shells PTY to append some ANSI escape sequences.

As an aside, I also started work on a feature in the shell to strip all SGR escape sequences (colour and text formatting) for people who prefer their shell output text only. But that proved a little more problematic because it proved impossible to reliably differentiate between processes that expect a TTY (eg top, lynx, etc) and thus would need to bypass the SGR stripping wrapper, from the processes that don't.
Awareness?
LTSB means no WSL, no Hyper-V, no support for VStudio neither for Windows SDKs (which refuse to install or don't install cleanly), so it's not for "developent" anyway.

The other major obstacle is their reproductive cycle. Octopodes breed once, then die shortly afterwards. They don't live to pass knowledge on to their children, and there's no reproductive "reward" for individuals that are more successful in life -- so long as they survive to breed, that's it.
Different, certainly. What about it?

Do you mean that the people who were careless with one group would be careful with the other? That the people who issued one car model to the real cultural attachés and another model to the CIA agents would be very careful about the agents who risk their lives?

Candy crush does get installed on fresh Win10 installs, and the person responsible for that deal was drummed out of Microsoft, I believe, and once that agreement expires, that'll stop. In the meantime it takes literally 5 seconds to right-click the icon and choose "uninstall" then click the confirmation, and it wont ever come back.

Removed applications do not get reinstalled on a patch or OS upgrade.

Disappointed to discover this isn't about acoustics.
That looks promising; pity it doesn't put the file/directory name in the graph. It looks like KDirStat and its successor QDirStat have a split pane view, with file names at the top and anonymous rectangles representing file sizes at the button. It's hard to express how much more effective it is to see all the information in one visualisation. It sounds like a small thing but it's really the whole point of the tool.

The are issues about it in the QDirStat repo. The author has two objections: The first is that it would look ugly. That's pretty silly: obviously function is more important than looks when I'm tracking down disc space usage. Their other objection is that in Linux you have such a wide directory structure that all the labels would be uselessly crushed into tiny boxes anyway. That also doesn't make much sense to me; even if you have a lot of directories in your tour directory, usually there's only one or two containing the vast majority of disc usage (that's why the tool's useful on the first place!) so their labels will be clear, and if the others aren't then I don't care because I'm not interested in then in the first place. Perhaps the real problem is that QDirStat doesn't have the ability zoom in and out, and to increase and decrease the visibility depth, that SpaceSniffer does, which is also needed to make labels useful.

Sorry, I didn't mean for that to turn into an essay!
Then it's equally fair on part of your employer, which is interviewing for a software dev position, to consider as relevant experience only those where you actually did software development...

FWIW, a woman swearing definitely lowers her attractiveness, at least to me, by quite a bit.
Interesting thought!

And also, maybe some of the stored and emitted heat can be directed somehow.
I'm not personally a conservative, but I'm pretty sure conservatives are not all hardcore libertarians or objectivists. Some of the intellectual brain-trust of conservative thought is libertarian or objectivist, but a lot of the broader conservative movement is not.

The blank slate theory is one of the standard assumptions in sociology. From there, it follows that all differences are societal.

So, to reply to your renark: many people in the social sciences think genders are equal at birth, and many other people think that this alleged equality should be somehow preserved by society.

Luckily, data from life sciences seems to contradict this construction.
Yes, but these metrics web is dead already. I mean there are billions of the websites and I only have five in my favorites.

No, even for Enterprise software we're far at one end of the spectrum in terms of competence at using a computer. You're forgetting the vast majority of the work force who work in normal offices, using computers as a tool to get their work done.

That said, we probably articulate our issues better than some, so we're probably still worth listening to.
Feel the same way. Ended up buying a Remarkable (https://remarkable.com/) which has been like a one player whiteboard for my thoughts and notes. Highly recommended!
All the FAANGs operate under a very similar hiring model, because they all get far more applicants than they can hire and can afford to have a high rate of false negatives. "Everybody" can't adopt it even if they wanted to, because your average business doesn't get a million applications a year.
Good question. I was also looking for an answer to this.

> "Women tended to be more prosocial and less negatively reciprocal than men, with differences in standard deviations of 0.106 for altruism (P < 0.0001), 0.064 for trust (P < 0.0001), 0.055 for positive reciprocity (P < 0.0001), and 0.129 for negative reciprocity (P < 0.0001). Turning to nonsocial preferences, women were less risk-taking by 0.168 standard deviations (P < 0.0001) and less patient by 0.050 standard deviations (P < 0.0001) (26). The observed differences in preferences set the stage for our analysis."[0]

I have heard plenty of call for equal treatment and calling for appreciation of personal perception, range of experiences, etc.

If someone was arguing that genders are identical, rather than making an argument about societal treatment of people by others, which is what the actual argument seems largely to be about, they'd be effectively arguing that gender doesn't exist.
If I have an infected file, they can have a copy. I don't mind.

Honestly a lot of you must just have piles of questionable stuff you aren't proud of but also somehow can't stop collecting/creating, and you don't want anyone to ever see, because no one else will ever understand or something.

Not even my employer, the most risk-averse place I have ever worked, worries about the security telemetry.

I don't think this a properly general definition of philosophy (although he says "contains",maybe he is not after generality). I would say philosophy is the science of definitions. This is why it is fundamental.

One thing this article gets right is that it is just going to be harder to persuade users to download an App that only brings in marginal/augmented functionality. I have about 1.5 screens of Apps installed, probably somewhere near 30-50 apps in total, and use barely 10 of them fairly frequently as far as I can recall.

Maybe it won't be too surprising that Google/Apple will announce something similar to Wechat's mini-program, a lightweight application distribution system that doesn't require a browser, nor installation to work. In fact, Google's Instant App aren't that far from the above description, it is just a matter of marketing effort to push it closer to users.

“Let me tell you something about Hew-mons, Nephew. They're a wonderful, friendly people, as long as their bellies are full and their holosuites are working. But take away their creature comforts, deprive them of food, sleep, sonic showers, put their lives in jeopardy over an extended period of time and those same friendly, intelligent, wonderful people... will become as nasty and as violent as the most bloodthirsty Klingon.

In the history of the United States, bullets have mostly if not solely been used for the protection of the lords, often by commoners either paid to do it and not caring, or convinced the issue was other commoners.

After all a common thread of US History is this LBJ quip:

Also possible corrupt, Aldrich Ames was living way beyond his means for a decade before he got caught. And the CIA knew it. My assumption has been the CIA turns a blind eye when it's high level agents pass information to 'friendly' governments and corporations, and so were gobsmacked when they found Ames was selling critical information to the Soviets. Which is itself deranged and stupid.
I would assume that grit is dependent on desired outcome, rather than something that is divided on physical and mental lines. Someone who has the grit to become a top Olympic athlete is not necessarily going to fare well in the military.

Why [Insert Thing Here] Is Not a Password Killer
I don't work for Google, so I don't know how much this applies to you folks. In my experience, while what you are describing is ideally correct, it's often just that -- an ideal.

For example, you'll have people insisting (and consciously agreeing) that their objective is to come out of the interview with enough evidence to give a positive or negative score. In the back of their minds, though, they will often be projecting their own insecurities -- about their expertise, about their career, about their job, about their team. Halfway through the interview, things end up being about something else altogether, like interviewers trying to reassure themselves that they're better than who they're interviewing (it's especially hard not to fall into this if it's been years since you last had to implement a red-black tree and you're interviewing a fresh graduate who dreams this stuff in their sleep).

It's very hard to get past these things. I struggle with them every time I interview someone, and it's very hard to know when to chalk it up to "the system" and when to chalk it up to your own baggage. Pretending that it's only the former only perpetuates this stuff -- and empowers the ones who actively enjoy abusing candidates and making them feel like crap just for the heck of it. Which is very common everywhere -- including, from what I've heard among my peers, at Google.

So far, the most relevant compass I've found for these things is made out of two questions:

1. If I were a candidate, and I'd have gone through this interview, how would I feel about it?
2. If I were to go through this exact interview today, would I still get hired?

If the answer to #1 isn't too good, there's probably some individual-level things you can change, but if the answer to #2 is bad, the problems tend to be more systemic in nature.

WebAssembly Job Board
I was just reading a thread on Linkedin by a recruiter who lined up 30 candidates based on the client's requirements, only to have the client reject all 30 of them. This problem is rampant and I don't think anyone has a handle on it.

A few observations:

- Modern society is so captured by social media, it's easy to make shallow connections but when it comes time to make the deeper connection, an actual hiring decision, hiring managers simply balk, and Loss Aversion Bias takes over.

- Being able to apply via the Internet creates too big a pipeline and shifts burden to the companies, which don't have the resources to handle the screening workload in a way that shows any consideration for the candidate.

- The shifting nature of technology makes the recruiting business hard. How is the average newcomer to recruiting supposed to be savvy enough to suss out the 12 different ways someone can be a "Docker Expert?" It's just absurd.

- Everyone hates the status quo. Job candidates, hiring managers, people who work in the staffing industry all hate the status quo and wish for a better way to guide talent toward the places where it is needed.

I don't see any way in which this is easy to fix.
Yep, especially when they are not general purpose like "PC" but from a very specific knowledge area. In this case it's even an old one. New engineers won't be educated to do ETL anymore.

"little Britain, no manufacturing plant there and no customers there"

The UK is a large market for German cars.
https://www.acea.be/statistics/article/motor-vehicle-trade-b...

This one says 20% of the market https://www.express.co.uk/finance/city/906047/German-car-fir...

Also I'm not sure what you class as German manufacturers but Vauxhall/Opel have a factory in Ellesmere port building Astras (Opel and Vauxhall), and Opel is a German brand.
Alternatively Minis are made I Cowley and owned by BMW.
I assume RR and Bentley are still in the UK also and they too are owned by German companies.

As to parts suppliers. I cant point to any one supplier that supplys German car companies but I cant believe there aren't any.
The strongest correlations seem related to the wealth of the country.

One reading of this finding is that more effort is directed toward gender performance in rich countries.

This could be due to a number of factors. I wouldn't discount the difference in the quantity of media consumed by both countries.

> So the author proposes that most apps will be consolidated onto platforms such as wechat, messenger or aliexpress. With each new app, comes new requirements of the platform to produce better and more functional API's for the sub-apps.

This is actually happening in China to some extent.

I'm blown away that Apple and Google actually approves apps that run a mini-OS inside them like WeChat/Alipay. I initially thought they would have rules to kick these apps off their store. These mega-apps are able to run mini-apps that effectively bypass any control from Apple/Google, the loss of control on their end is maddening.

Google and Apple have no control over whether WeChat mini-apps respect their respective App Store rules and guidelines for example. Also, WeChat got so big that I wonder if they would even ban it from the app store if transgressions are found. WeChat literally took control away from them.

Example : people install WeChat, from there install mini-apps that aren't controlled by Google/Apple, and even can pay though third party apps : Google/Apple don't get a piece of the cake like they would if you used their IAP system.

I don't understand why people care so much whether preferences are biological or cultural. (Well, I understand it if we assume they are being dishonest, so assuming that something is not biological allows them to claim that it can be changed to whatever they think is morally superior. The debate whether being gay is cultural is a good example.)

If I am given a true freedom to choose, to decide according to my preferences, what does it matter what is the reason for these preferences? What does it matter, how did I acquire my tastes? They are MY tastes.
Purity is a property of the functional methodology, not of the language. You don't need to use an effect-free language when operating in an environment that renders most effects void.
On a different note. SDE1s at some place Facebook get paid better than SDE3 at your other non-web companies.

Also its a tad little foolish to throw away money for designation, in your 20s when you can save up and use that money for retirement later. Especially given the fact that SDE1 and SDE3 have to both write the same code.
