It seems like they should at least try to have a single property (e.g. UIWindow “autoResizeWhenKeyboardDisplayed”), leaving notifications and other things as fallbacks. What are the odds that a view will do anything else?

Also, I don’t know why the iPad allows the keyboard to be dismissed but the iPhone stubbornly does not. When this isn’t handled properly, “grandma” has no hope and even I have to fiddle around or just kill the app to regain control. That is a ridiculous situation for the OS’ own keyboard to permit on a regular basis.
As someone who took this approach to AI I don’t see another way to get there. We should be reverse engineering the salient aspects. But neuroscience won’t be sufficient, we should be looking at neurogenesis. My bet is that the implementation details won’t matter that much and that the main driver is the architecture and ability to construct those architectures. Right now we assume fully connected ANNs and then optimize those connections. Neurogeneis certainly doesn’t work that way.
Really interesting idea. Off topic a bit, but I've been thinking that comment moderation really needs an overhaul. It seems like more sophisticated algorithms could be used (is number of upvotes really the best we can do?). I think of weighted upvotes (obviously) as well as controlling for things like time visible and number of views. It seems to me that moderation could be made almost fully automatic - with just a bit of oversight perhaps to confirm judgement (weighing) of sets of users. Isn't this just predictive analytics being applied to those who view comments?
> morally it's certainly equivalent to insider trading

So it's the right thing to do? Insider trading helps everyone by adding more information to the markets.
Many trades are non-zero sum actually.

It doesn't matter that you made money because someone lost SOME. Both market participants receive what they wanted to out of it.

For example, you take linear bets - going short a stock - and you bought to cover at a profit to someone that was maybe long and selling at a loss. You say wow so zero sum.

But little did you know, the person that was long was actually collecting premium from their covered call options trade, and is still getting what they wanted out of it. They may not have begun losing more money for their tolerance for another 2% or 10% drop in the stock. They would come out net positive until then, even though their MAXIMUM potential profit was still more.

Both participants still got what they want, and you wouldn't be the wiser - unless of course you were trading products that had no derivatives market. But even then you wouldn't know, because they could be written OTC.

You missunderstood. They charge money to promote, but they don't pay for content. If I open a decent magazine or newspaper, there are ads and there is content which paid for in some way. How is google so different? Googles payment is that they give you traffic for "free" if you play by their rules. I.e. in case of wikipedia I am sure they would have hefty debt if it was fair for both sides.

There's an article on the second group - The Net Negative Producing Programmer http://pyxisinc.com/NNPP_Article.pdf

> We've known since the early sixties, but have never come to grips with the implications that there are net negative producing programmers (NNPPs) on almost all projects, who insert enough spoilage to exceed the value of their production. So, it is important to make the bold statement: Taking a poor performer off the team can often be more
productive than adding a good one. Although important, it is difficult to deal with the NNPP. Most development managers do not handle negative aspects of their programming staff well. This paper discusses how to recognize NNPPs, and remedial actions necessary for project success.
here's a dirty seceret: we (people that have mathematical training) don't read the notation very closely either. it's very much like reading code: i don't look very closely unless there's a pattern i don't recognize or one that's broken. so ironically reading notation is about ignoring notation :) the problem for you is that you simply haven't had enough exposure to know what the "patterns" are and hence don't have them chunked/mapped efficiently. unfortunately there's no "royal road" here and you simply have learn to enough math to know what these things are but i encourage you to skip notation that isn't intelligible and continue reading. having done that enough times you will eventually actually understand the notation.
Just for laughs, I just wrote a simple script that achieves exactly this:

Start small (i.e. really small). Find a smaller project that you use and find something trivial to add like spelling corrections or simple documentation enhancements. This should help you get started with the workflow of contributing.

Once you're comfortable with that, then consider fixing a small bug you have encountered or adding a feature that you've been wanting. If you know the flow of things, then the chances of the change getting accepted are much higher.

I started to contribute to OSS quite a while back helping with simple support questions for a small distro and then I got involved in the coding side of things when one program I was using started to have issues compiling due to bitrot. Now I'm on the other side of the equation trying to get new individuals interested by showing the sorts of roles involved in the project ( http://zynaddsubfx.sf.net/contribute.html ).
HR is the "no one ever gets fired for buying IBM" of hiring. Not really good, but minimizes risks for all involved.
I'm currently looking for a junior dev role. The issues I'm finding is

A: They expect you to have 4 years of experience or be a college degree. I have neither in software development or

B: They are these terrible "apprenticeships" where they also expect you to have 3-4 years experience, train you for 3 months on their technology stack, and make you jump through flaming hula hoops.

I see a lot of comments talking about how you train juniors and then they leave but I'm skeptical of that. From my personal perspective, I'm not looking to get trained then jump to SF for a 150k a year job. Pay me a decent wage, give me ongoing feedback, and make sure career progression is laid out and I'm good with that.
I personally didn't understand their niche until I went to work for a county school district and saw how embedded they were. Surprisingly there are a lot of business opportunities to sell to school districts if you are GCP friendly.

Indeed, but I like to play with a straight bat, and I think the point was worth making regardless.

It takes a lot of time and effort. That's okay. It's one of life's greatest challenges.
Built a team of over a dozen programmers the past year using a similar strategy. I was able to bring over a couple more experienced developers I had worked with in the past to serve as mentors and get things kick-started. Then filled out the roster with inexperienced but capable developers.

From the very start, we put a lot of effort in our hiring and onboarding process. We treat hiring as the beginning of onboarding.

Oh, and we were too small to have an HR department. When we grew big enough, they definitely got in the way. I had to more or less fight them off over every position we hired for, because they didn't understand anything about coding, IT or creativity, and would just look for relevant experience in a similar field.

Our company is smallish with a startup vibe but recently we hired a VP of HR with a lot of corporate experience and it has started going this direction, too.

And there I think you have the answer to the OP's question: companies cargo-culting their hiring process and strategy and succumbing to that tendency that Daniel Kahneman identifies as the root of all bias: WYSIATI.

I would like to see the statistics. I eat a high carb low protein low calorie diet because I like to fit my grocery bill in $15 a week. I would wager the opposite is true actually; if you're eating 1000 to 1400 calories a day and they're not mostly carbs, you're probably feeling terrible hunger pangs.

Most vegetables are carbs, milk and yogourt have tons of carbs (in the form of lactose), lentils are carbs, beans? still carbs, etc. I'm not sure how you can have a cheap low-carb diet (lots of eggs and ham? dissolving multivitamin and whey protein into avocado puree?).

By this logic, would it not be immoral to engage in any trades when there exist information asymmetry? There will always be "victims" who do not make a profit because they made a bad investment.

A person losing money due to insider trading has almost certainly invested in a company that was not worth what they thought it was. If they’re a victim, then whose victim are they really? I have a hard time blaming the insider trader.

There's also an element of desirability in having a job. If you have a job, it means someone has selected you and is paying you to do certain roles. In and of itself this makes the candidate more desirable than one who has either quit or been fired.
That significantly reduces entropy in the password.

No. Rust-in-html-in-Rust.
I think the whole point of the effort was catching up quickly through cloning (much the same strategy as Japan after WW2, or more recently China), and not creating incompatible technology which would ultimately be a dead-end. For instance, a home-grown, incompatible CPU that's only used in one country didn't make sense back then just as today. That's also the reason why the Z80 was chosen over the 6502, it was all about enabling compatibility with CP/M software.

But although the basic chips were cloned, at least some of the actual computers that were build with those chips were not clones of existing Western computer designs, partly because many Western home computers had highly integrated custom chips to make mass production cheaper, which was out-of-question for Eastern computer designs.

The odds of divorce are lowest with zero or one premarital partners.

Makes sense to me. Those people are either the least interested in pursuing sexual relationships solely for pleasure or the least able to do so, so might feel more compelled to stick with a marriage that isn't 100% as they either won't be doing it for sex or might feel unable to find someone else.

However, I think the more interesting thing to research would be links between perimarital sex and marriage stability :-D

I'm kinda shocked by the comments referring to Slack. Wave was very different from any other chat platform. You could edit everything, add different media elements to the document/channel and keep commenting everywhere on everything. Slack to me is really just another chat software. I see very little difference between it, campfire or Hipchat and honestly for the life of me don't understand why everyone transitioned from Campfire to Hipchat and now to Slack.

edit - what I really want to know is why the people who stand so utterly in disbelief about the wide ranging study of fluid dynamics and the effects of the changing spectra of light absorption, transmission and radiation in the atmosphere here on earth, especially when it involves the phases of matter that we are generally most used to, are so quick to put their chips down on a single study predicting the long term magneto-hydrodynamics of an entire star.
If you haven't heard of Langlands but have heard of Andrew Wiles and his proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, you may be interested to learn that the two are somewhat closely related. Wiles actually proved a part of the modularity theorem, which had been shown by Frey, Serre, and Ribet to imply FLT in the 80s.

The modularity theorem is very much a Langlands-style theorem and could be seen as a more concrete version of many of the ideas and conjectures that form the Langlands program. The conjecture now known as the modularity theorem was formulated as early as the 50s and 60s by Taniyama and Shimura, thus predating the Langlands program, and it was taken seriously once Weil gave conceptual evidence for it (but did not come close to a proof).

In fact, the modularity theorem is just a very oddly phrased reciprocity law. General reciprocity laws often look astonishingly nothing like the simple law of quadratic reciprocity, or they require some clever squinting to see the relationship. Modularity gives you for any rational elliptic curve E a modular form which is a simultaneous eigenvector for the Hecke operators (one for each prime number p) and whose eigenvalues give the solution counts of the elliptic curve equation modulo p for various primes p. These eigenvalues are also the coefficients in the Fourier expansion of the modular form.

This is common for consulting companies with MBA or field-related masters studies as well. The company effectively loans you the tuition money and forgives the loan if you come back for at least 2 years post-graduation. If you leave early you have to repay the loan with your own money.

I'm not sure this could work with normal raise-type compensation in the software world due to the difficulty of enforcing such a thing or clawing back money from people who leave early. The traditional way this was done was with pensions that ramp up with length of time at the company, but those are few and far between these days due to the overhead hit on financials.
I was a college math major, and I can't read math the way I can read text or even sheet music.

> If you could skip your tax bill for a few years, but get a much smaller fine if you cooperated when caught then you'd be silly to actually pay.

If you do the work ahead of time, you pay the cost of doing the work. If you wait for the fine, you pay the cost of doing the work plus the fine. It doesn't take a lot of fine to make doing the work to begin with worth it -- basically just accounting for chance of getting away with it and time value of money, which goes down as the government gets better at catching more people quicker, as should be their primary goal for something like this.
