Well that was disappointing. Here I thought I would get a wonderful explanation about ego and how western culture is all about work and we have no personality outside of our jobs.

But no, just a stalker. Something you can solve with a restraining order. Not something you need to move jobs for.
You have heard wrong.

>But someone living in a village will find it pretty impossible to run their errands or bring their children to school without a car.

It is not impossible, I know people that live in villages in Romania and use public transport to go to the city where they work. Usually this people don't own a car because they don't have a driver license, there are enough such people since the common transport is profitable for the companies that offer it.

In case anyone else wondered: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homomorphic_encryption

"Homomorphic encryption is a form of encryption that allows computation on ciphertexts, generating an encrypted result which, when decrypted, matches the result of the operations as if they had been performed on the plaintext."
I've been using uBO in advanced (dynamic filtering) mode for a few weeks now. I strongly recommend everyone wary of privacy to start doing that now. It's surprisingly not so difficult at all!
>Landau said, in the biography, “Don’t waste your time on mathematicians and lectures and so on — instead, find a book with the largest number of solved exercises and go through them all. That’s how you learn mathematics.”

Posting this because of a recent HN discussion touching on this. It really resonates with me because I feel that was key when I was learning calculus. I would like to see a lot more books with solutions.

The struggle you go through trying to understand your mistakes and correcting yourself is really the crux of learning.
There's a lot of words, in the article and the comments, about being compensated for on-call time.

The software field seems very anti-union, for reasons that I don't entirely understand. Protecting your time is one feature that unions offer. Want to be paid for every hour you're on call? Get the union to put it in their rules for employers.

The alternative we have now is that each developer is responsible for negotiating this into their contract on their own -- even though they probably have little or no experience with legal contracts. (Dammit, Jim, I'm a programmer, not a contract lawyer!)

I'm surprised that software professionals have opted for a solution that necessitates each person solving the same problem each time it comes up. It's like manual memory allocation but for employment contracts. We just assume everyone is always perfectly competent at this skill, and if they aren't, it's all on them!
It won’t be based on burning coal forever right? Actually the EVs CAN be a driver for building cleaner power plant.

Chinese leaders definitely think long term given they could have longer impact even after they retired (Deng and Jiang remained powerful for years after they “stepped down”)
>The article doesn’t magically get any better if the author were 40 years old.

It wouldn't, but I'm more forgiving of someone closer to the college where they were taught to write the essay the teacher wants but told it's insight. I'm also more forgiving of someone with less experience seeing the popular narratives and interpretations of social structures change and learn to distrust the implied "OK, this time, we've got it figured out."
How to create great error pages
Buses seemed to me to be a rare case where they are so big and heavy anyway, that low energy density from a cheap and old-fashioned lead acid battery could still work. But you're right, I started searching, and found a 2005 US DOT analysis that said otherwise: https://www.transit.dot.gov/sites/fta.dot.gov/files/Electric...

> Consequently, powering a full-size bus would require a battery pack that is unacceptably large and heavy, as well as too costly to make a battery-electric bus commercially competitive.
That feels (to me) about normal for engineering though; I feel like a lot of engineers tend to stay for around 2-3 years; roughly, ~40% percent per year turnover?

Not that this is necessarily a good thing. I feel like most of the turnover is completely preventable, should the employer want to actually keep employees for longer than 2-3 years…
Walk before we run, eh? AFAIK it's not even illegal in most of the world to identify us in yesterday's pictures, including for commercial purposes.
One thing that I took away from my flight instructor is that she had me say aloud everything I was thinking and doing. If I said, for example, "those trees might cause a downdraft on the approach", then, if I did not handle it well, at least she knew the issue was with my execution and not in recognizing the possibility.

I don't often interview developers, but when I do, I try to get into a situation where the candidate leads us through solving a programming problem, and the issues that come up. The most satisfactory case was where the candidate and I jointly investigated an issue that neither of us had the answer to.

Unfortunately, this is not an approach that many people have much experience with, and it seems unfair to penalize people who find it disconcerting, but when it works, I think it is most satisfactory approach for all concerned. It is not easy to automate either the practicing for or execution of this style of interview, which may or may not be a disadvantage.
I even used it successfully on a VPS which had a limited about of OSes available. Awesome project!
Applications that run under different user-supplied constraints (cpu, memory, syscalls, file access) doesn't really feel much like having different users.

Things that are separate users by this definition:

- Every VM running under my account.
- Every docker container.
- Every SELinux process/file type combination.
- Every cgroup.
- Each CPU ring.
- Each call to pledge.
Given how badly most of those games end I'm not sure I'd look for designs there.
Win compared to old models of gasoline and deisel? probably yes.

Win compared to more efficient modern versions, I'm not sure.

Win compared to hybrids? No way.
JSX doesn't violate referential transparency. A component either is referentially transparent, or it isn't; nothing about how it's invoked changes that.

Put another way: React calls your components, not you. You pass the component function itself to React.createElement, not its result.
The disadvantage of that is that the interviewer no longer knows if the candidate actually solved the problem or if he got his CS roommate to solve it for him.
Steam’s discovery algorithm killed my sales
I tried to investigate what it would take for Vim to have a mode where the cursor is between characters (so that the I-beam shape can be used for the cursor).

That is, this would be for the purposes of visual selection with 'v'. It now includes the character under the cursor, which makes no sense when the cursor is a vertical bar that is to the left of the character.

The code is so contorted and poorly modularized, it would have to change in numerous places; I estimated it at a minimum of two weeks of full time work to ramp up on the internals sufficiently to be able to add the feature with reasonable confidence.
One that discusses the work you’ll be doing, your hours/schedule, and whether or not there is on call work? I’ve never seen anything like this.
I think it is somewhat like the fascination with historical figures who were assassinated. Had the Amiga simply lived out its commercial life and then gotten obsolete in a normal way, there would not be the sense of potential squandered, and thus perhaps not the ongoing fascination.
Am I the only one who feels strongly that people should be paid for their time to do coding for you in interviews? I feel like every company has some small tasks they can have a potential employee take on.

What I'm curious about is what image recognition system they used to map the faces in the picture?
You will favor those that used exactly same tools/frameworks/testing, but generally smarter person might get a disadvantage. Ie give me Intellij Idea and I would be a tad slower since I use Eclipse primarily. This difference would be mitigated 2 days after hiring, but would be visible during interview. One tiny issue with the env can maybe block their effort measurably.

I get the advantages, I guess everybody does, but there are disadvantages too.

I really appreciate your reply, thank you. I agree that the posts are valuable when framed with the context of discussion, but when you collect them as "the thoughts of jbob2000", the context changes and they become dangerous to me individually.

I think the problem is that my post history is public, actually. If I could pick and choose which of my comments to add to my profile, I would be less inclined to delete my old comments.
Me too, in the same field surprisingly enough! Although in our case, it was more like being on call for a week every 6-8 weeks.

QuotaPath | Backend or Full-stack Engineer | Philadelphia, PA or Austin, TX | Full-Time | ONSITE | https://www.quotapath.com/careers/
Sales compensation plans can be shockingly complex. Too often, salespeople are forced to use unfriendly accounting software from the web 1.0 era, or worse, to pass around Excel spreadsheets, without the ability to verify the calculations or understand how they work.

At QuotaPath, we're solving this problem in a new way. We're creating a platform that's built for salespeople, not accountants. This means our business model is unique, both consumer-facing and B2B ("B2BC"; think Slack). Good UX and beautiful design are at the core of our process. The demand for a product like this is intense and we're working as hard as we can to deliver features to eager users.

We're looking for engineers to help us accelerate our development as a product and as a company. If you're interested in having a huge impact on a small team, this is a great opportunity. We're well-funded, but we're still only 8 people: 3 engineers, 1 UX and 4 others in product and executive team. I'm one of those 3 engineers, and I'm also the technical co-founder. Please ask me questions if you have any!

Our stack is Python + Django on the backend, TypeScript + React on the frontend, but we're more interested in working with people who are smart and capable than people from any particular background. If you have strong opinions about using different tech, we'll hear you. Like most startups, we're built on lots of open source tech and we plan on giving back. We value building a culture of inclusion and transparency. We care about diversity and hope you do too.

Check out our 350-million-record Tweetmap demo (http://www.omnisci.com/demos/tweetmap) or our 11.6-billion-record ships demo (https://www.omnisci.com/demos/ships) for an idea of what the system can do.

We’re looking for:

- Backend Developer: Engineers with strong experience in C++ and database/systems programming. Knowledge of CUDA/OpenCL, LLVM, X64 Optimization, and/or OpenGL are a major plus.

- Frontend Developer: Engineers with strong experience in JavaScript and React/Redux. Ideal candidate has good design sense and a data visualization background.

Compensation, equity, and benefits are competitive. Apply at https://www.omnisci.com/company/careers/
I suppose it's a work in progress but... technically it's not yet a blockchain imho.

What's missing:

- transaction or account model (neither exists)

- transaction and block validation rules

- fork selection rule

- consensus mechanism

- signatures

Why do you think it's a good thing?
Fair enough, the open source software development model is no different in reality from the free software development model generally speaking.

It goes back to ESR's The Cathedral and the Bazaar and is what he deems "the bazaar model" or "bazaar style" before him, Larry Augustin, and Bruce Perens (if memory serves) went on to coin the phrase "open source". Even if you don't necessarily agree with ESR (I see him in a similar vein as RMS fwiw), his thoughts on software development models have generally speaking, been proven true.
My mistake, I meant stay at home wives.

Grounding science in mathematical models is the ultimate goal. But usually, technological advancement and discoveries precede scientific discovery and modeling.

We think science that comes first and from science we derive technology. But it is usually the other way around. Technology comes first and from technology, we derive science and even mathematics.

A canonical example is the telescope. It's invention led to newtonian physics and calculus. Another is the microscope, which led to much of modern biology.

If anyone is interested in the history of technology and science, I recommend

Also, if you have netflix, they have a great documentary called AlphaGo. I don't play Go, but I was able to appreciate the documentary. If play chess like I do, there are lots of youtube videos on the AlphaZero's games against stockfish.

If DeepMind's system is as general as claimed and as competent in other fields as it was in Go and Chess, I think it's fair to say that it could give us insights into current and new science/mathematics.
I am also remembering that the Amiga was "killed" several more times by the bankruptcy process, as the IP rights to it went through legal limbo and then through a series of companies that failed to rejuvenate it or market it properly.

> Also isn't most electricity generation in China still based on burning coal?

Xi Jinping is anti-coal, meaning China is anti-coal. The government's been converting coal power sources to natural gas and getting homeowners and businesses to do the same. In one year the level of the most harmful pollution went down by 33% throughout the region, 54% in Beijing alone.

> Have any experts done any analysis to see what environmental benefit this brings, if any?

The 4.8 million cars in Beijing are the second biggest cause of air pollution there, so switching to electric would significantly limit this source.

As someone who have struggled to self-study abstract algebra, I do find subject lacking in 'motivation', Eg: why do we define groups, fields, in the way that they are defined? Why do we need them at all?

Also most treatments do not cover categories, which seems to have its own separate literature.

Perhaps having some geometric intuition will greatly help, viz coordinate systems in 3d Eucliden space, answering interesting questions like when is it legal to take dot product of two vectors? and if two unit vectors are parallel are they the same vector?

I really like the idea of #2. I've never actually seen this done before but it seems like micro-internships (1 month) would be invaluable. Bring the candidate onboard for 1 month and start paying them their real salary. At the end of 1 month it should be clear whether they are a good fit for your team or not.
I think if companies need to pay with "days off" instead of "money" they would be much more carefull with on-call and have a much greater incentive to make the on-call - not call, proper procedure, taking care of on-call incidents so they don't repeat. They would empower developers to make sure to minimize it so they don't have a penalty of dev-on-vacation. when you have an oncall with fixed payment per hours, you just don't have enough incentive to minimize the effect, you have those people handling it on on-call payment.

> e.g. removed C++ code that has later found to have bugs

The article links to a longer article (https://hsivonen.fi/encoding_rs/) about encoding_rs. The longer article mentions a bug that got fixed in Firefox ESR after the code had been replaced with encoding_rs in non-ESR Firefox. (I wrote the bug, too, though.)

> or newly re-written crates now more useful to the wider community than the same code locked up in C++.

encoding_rs is an example of a crate developed for Firefox but also developed as a crates.io crate from the start. ripgrep is probably the best-known Rust-only app that uses encoding_rs. Since Visual Studio Code bundles ripgrep, I believe Microsoft shipped encoding_rs before Mozilla did!
