lol Google acquired our company and it was the worst experience of my life

I didn't even apply and I was accepted

this is after other worst experiences

1. getting accepted to Harvard

2. working at an enterprise software shop

the only work experience that wasn't the worst experience in my life---up to that point in time---was working on a web tool for making reports from a database of student responses to a survey
Also that point seemed odd. Isn't unification of two previously separate phenomenon (dark matter and dark energy) simpler in Occam terms? It's using one thing to explain two, even if the actual mathematics are more complex to state. Also there's other troubling cosmological issues that this would appear to address, such as Hubble's constant having slight variation outside of measurement tolerance, which slightly differing fluid densities would explain (vs the current assumption of unknown sources of error).

Sabine's point, if it stands up, is that the author used a different equation of motion in their simulation than they write up in the paper. If true that's sloppy and bad, but it's not a point against the actual theory underlying the simulation, no?
No one is asking for favoritism, only level playing field. Of course people would also be okay with exceptions, so long they remain exceptions and not the rule.
The state senator who actually authored the legislation establishing the California High-Speed Rail Authority was Quentin Kopp. After seeing how this has turned out he is now opposed to it (and I think joined a lawsuit against it). In an op ed he had this to say:

>...Consequently, there won’t be enough riders paying fares to cover operational costs. The 2008 ballot measure prohibits taxpayer subsidy of this now-planned track to nowhere. As the “father” of true high-speed rail, I regret its “horizon” isn’t now bright, unless the governor and Richard restore 2008 promises to taxpayers.

Yup. Learning basic web platform technologies is the best investment too. They're not going away, ever. (Comparend to the currently fancy libraries/frameworks). And it will help you understand all the things built on top of the web platform.

Sorry for the confusion; I mean if there's a WP/Plugin/Theme update, I get notified every morning so I can go in and update (if needed.)
He's saying they've been transgressing in ways, like human rights violations (social credit and the Uyghurs in Xinjiang are a couple examples), undermining democracy outside of its own government (undermining Hong Kong's contractual right to independent democratic process, etc.), violating intellectual property, cyberespionage against US companies like Google, etc., which we would have likely already have punished if it weren't economically inconvenient to do so to this particular state, and that that's an unfortunate reason to allow foul play.
That isn't "how lisp works," that's how most people choose to format their lisp code.

And this is the entire point of the article. He discusses this at length: to reach the universality and speed of a `gofmt`-like formatting tool, we would have to give up on the idea that s-expressions should be indented differently based on their content.

Personally I find this a very tempting tradeoff. You may not, but indenting different s-exps in different ways based on their first element is not "correct," it's just... what most people choose to do.

That's the caveat, you need to buy hardware that was designed with Linux in mind. Throwing it on hardware where the designers only thought about Windows will always be a bad experience.

What did your parents use to get your passport in the first place? Did they get a Report of Birth Abroad at the embassy? If so you can use that. There's also a process to apply for a citizenship certificate from USCIS, but you will probably want a lawyer for that.
Efficiency is very low. 200mi on 95kWh? In perfect weather? That's like 475Wh/mi which is significantly worse than a Tesla Model X (estimated around 350-375/mi in good weather). Tesla has a bigger car.

And thats without running heaters, AC or lead-foot-itis (I average 275 Wh/mi in my Focus EV, but can push 300 if I'm aggressive).
I spent a few weeks doing work in Shenzhen earlier this year and if anything I experienced reverse racism.
Language environment in IBM parlance is closer to "ABI" than "VM", or "sandbox" in the rest of the world. It's a common set of idioms to allow two languages (generally ASM and a higher level language like C) to call eachother and interoperate.
>How do I solve this?

Develop an interest in design in general. It‘s a skill that grows with your level of immersion. It‘s helpful to have developed a taste before making design decisions, or even for deciding what to learn and who to follow.

You could start by reading about the history of design, especially where design started to emerge as its own thing from art in the early 1900s.

Knowing the history and political implications (man vs. machine etc.) is important, because many decisions, tastes and (especially typographic) choices of other designers may not make sense otherwise.

This looks like a draw, is it not?
A number of years ago I read an idea (I think it might have been in James S.A. Corey's Babylon's Ashes) that I find very compelling; any object becomes a weapon given sufficiently high velocity.
Reading over the SAE (J3016) Automation Levels here[1] it seems to me that the Tesla Autopilot is now into level 3, especially for highway driving. If you can go exit to exit without any direction from a human, I would definitely say level 3 has been reached. Fine details of the definition between one level and another should probably only interesting to lawyers and their clients.

Waymo not level 3? Seems they claim to be level 4 for their Phoenix rollout.

Nevertheless, when somebody has stolen my bike from a bike parking (where there were no other bikes and no crowd) right under a security camera near a fancy shopping centre the police couldn't find it, miraculously they couldn't even find it on the camera record like if both the bike and the thief were invisible.
I wish! Wouldn't that make the interview much easier. Nope, instead they ask you to whiteboard up some code (in whatever language you want) and discuss how you would design something you never saw before.
I'm on a NAFTA TN, it's about to expire. now we have usmca do I need to do anything, also have the job categories changed drastically? Thanks for doing this.
Dark energy is the cosmological constant introduced by Einstein. So that criticism is rather ironic.
I worked at a Lotus Notes shop that actually made a SaaS project management/collaboration tool in the late 90s that we hosted at USWest[1][2].

We spun off every tenant as a replica of a Lotus Notes database template (my lingo might be wrong, since 20 years has passed). People, at that time, however, hadn't quite warmed up to the concept of subscription software though.

1. It's a very tough market, with high levels of competition and really high expectations for games on the user front. Hell, look at Steam for example. There are hundreds of thousands of games there, and even many of the better ones sink without a trace simply because of how many options players have. If you don't have a unique selling point, a decent marketing strategy and a certain level of skill in game design, forget it.

2. Usually one of the following:

A: Over ambitiousness. Feature creep can easily become a real problem in game development, and if you get caught up in too much, it's likely your game will never keep up with competitors. Look at Duke Nukem Forever for example; 14 years spent chasing shiny tech, all for a game that felt dated when it got released.

B: A lack of marketing. Seen way too many indie devs work super hard on their dream project, then fail to really advertise it at all. You can't afford to do that, otherwise your work will pretty much never find an audience. Get running that blog and posting social media updates before launch, and make sure influencers like famous YouTubers and streamers are incentivised to play your game too.

C: Over promising and failing to deliver. Yeah, you said it yourself; that hurt No Man's Sky. But it wasn't the only game affected by this, many, many others are too. Don't promise what you can't deliver.

D: Reacting poorly to criticism. I know, art is personal, and your game can feel like your baby. But when people criticise it, the best response is to find out why and improve anything that needs improving, not scream at them and threaten lawsuits. You do not want to be another Digital Homicide or Dalas Games.

E: Just not offering anything unique. Seriously, if your idea is that you'll release another runner game on the app store or take the match three genre by storm, you may want to rethink that idea.

3. Game development forums and subreddits. Maybe Discord chats too.

Or just the ones in this article to be honest:

4. If you're making games for mobile, the only practical solutions at this point are ads or in app purchases. Not sure any viable alternatives exist, especially given how even Nintendo couldn't inspire people to pay them money upfront with Mario Run.

5. See question 3.

So you want to maintain dogmatic ideological views without subjecting yourself to an uncomfortable re-examining of how rose-tinted your glasses might have been?

I was immediately turned off by this, and had a hard time finishing the post after reading that. Sometimes admitting that your idols are flawed human beings, but often trying their best nevertheless, can end in a better appreciation of the person.
Being on the software engineering side of things, I do not trivialize the design aspect. However, it's very rare that an 'engineering' type person will also have the 'ux/ui/designer' chops. We don't necessarily understand that aspect of things in the same way ... clearly my weakness, and I assume it as such.
Ideally software development in some case would benefit enormously in a holistic approach to the engineering and design side of things. I've been looking for a good designer to complement my set of skills, but I've yet to find that person...
I am really leaning towards taking a course in such design aspects. But I won't become a magical-ux-ui-designer wizard.
Your math is wrong. You can (at least historically) get a 4% annuity that rises with inflation in perpetuity.
I agree, he should think a bit more before he says things, or just let his editors cut the problematic stuff out.
Intellij, pystorm, Android Studio (and half of "Other") make up more than a quarter and are the same jetbrains editor with different plugins pre-installed and some plugins unavailable..

That is more than VSCode and these identical IDEs are all over the place in these charts.

Did you ever meet Jobs? Maybe he was just really really good. He comes off that way in most of his interviews/keynotes.

If AMD came out with a platform with decent power/battery/performance and ECC memory available in a laptop it would go to the front of my next purchase list.

start studying[1] for the annoying whiteboard interviews. we all hate it, we all have to deal with it.

apply for some jobs you aren't that interested in to get used to interviewing again. you will typically get phone interviewed first so not much risk of interfering with your job.

you may need to take vacation (sick days) for some interviews.

Only if you interpret what they are saying in the way that they intended you to, despite the fact that it's not what they are explicitly saying.

When they say "Facebook were disguising ‘sponsored posts’ as regular posts", all that means is that Facebook changed something in such a way that Adblock Plus was no longer detecting it as a "sponsored post". It doesn't mean that sponsored posts looked the same to users as regular posts.

I can't articulate it but I just don't "like" Firefox.

I used to be a huge fan of FF... I think with Chromium, at least for me, the browser has never changed.

Every time I try to go back to FF it's different and I have to re-learn it.

It might be better for them to clone the FF menu system so that you can switch to it without having to re-learn everything.
This always makes me nervous. If I have some old laptops lying around, how worried should I be about them exploding? Does it only apply if they're in use?
There is a good reason: we should not be passing judgement on the validity of scientific work based on informal discussions.

They were able to use their birth certificates and my old, handwritten foreign birth certificate at the time.

They didn't report the birth to the state department since it was just over the border. There's thousands of people from S Texas with similar problems I've read.

[edit] Also, the USCIS N600 requires a birth certificate as well, so that's why I didn't consider it.

Thanks again for your help.
I don't understand why they wouldn't create a different brand first, wait it to be matured, then acquire it. That looks like a famous brand is after electric car dream.
Marketcap is totally overblown, I agree! We talk a bit about it in our FAQ. And I'm sorry, I assumed I needed a login on your site because I just couldn't find a way to quickly send a query.

Most sites hide they API behind a login and require a key and signing a TOS. That's not public. Our public API is totally public.

I'll be happy to get in touch, because we are starting with the same goals as you: low latency, and stats.

To see what you have achieved there, can I get a sample of your raw data? Like the first 2 days of december, showing at least the bid/ask/last per exchange, per pair. More if you have more.

It should be stale enough and a small enough window to not cause problem extracting or be of much value. Any format you want is fine. You email me a link to the dump and I'll have a look.

I must say I'm very curious now.

There are contrary examples that normal people would know too. For instance, it’s common to use the phrase “on autopilot” to describe the state of a person who does something really stupid because they were following a routine without thinking.
I cannot take responsibility for every misreading. I explicitly said what he was wearing and described it as well dressed. The point is that he was not being stopped because he looked scruffy, which would have been a whole other white derailment of a discussion of race.

Which is of course the pattern of these discussions. In exactly the same way my intern got cross-examined for being black in a white space, any mention of racial bias gets cross-examined because white people are very eager to defend the honor of white people. How was he dressed? Was it too rough? Well then it must be that he dressed too well! Never mind that all of the other people dressing well don't get stopped. And this cross-examination happens despite the fact that the sort of racial bias described here is in no way rare and is demonstrated in all sorts of formal research and oceans of personal anecdote.

It was his judgment, my judgement, and my boss's judgment, that this was an unconscious racial bias incident. Neither HR nor the black employee group thought otherwise, and they deal with this stuff all the time. Is it possible we're all wrong? Sure. Is it possible that the anonymous white person was actually a space alien beamed down and probing our defenses? Sure. But based on the preponderance of the evidence, we decided what we decided.

If that's not good enough for an anonymous rando, that's fine by me. If you'd like to learn more, read any one of the books I've mentioned in this thread. Preferably DiAngelo's, as it goes into detail examining exactly the type of reaction you and others display here.

I'm kind of happy with Gnome 3. It's almost Mac-like in being opinionated, but steps out of the way most of the time. I'm using it with Fedora on a couple machines and it works great.

In the statement of the problem, I detect no trace of the problem, therefore I offer no solutions. The length and complexity of each of these four sentences is within the window of what I consider tasteful. One could write sentences more complex, or infinitely complex, but that's mostly to be avoided, in my opinion. Complex sentences, unless written with great care and subtlety, tend to call attention to themselves and to the writer, and that's a failure. If I'm distracted thinking about how the writer is showing off, I'm no longer thinking about what I'm reading.

Meanwhile, strategically sprinkling in the occasional short simple sentence is a fine way to achieve various desired effects, including variety of cadence. And of course there have been famous and successful writers of English who have gone farther than that, to the point of choppiness - most notably Ernest Hemingway. "I had no feeling for him. He did not seem to have anything to do with me. I felt no feeling of fatherhood." To me that also starts to draw attention to itself, but at least he can't be accused of being bombastic or grandiose.

Personally, I cannot be productive in a noisy environment (sans headphones), and I most definitely cannot be productive pair programming. (Or, good god, mob programming.) Yes, I've tried it.

I've been on one or two interviews where this requirement was brought up. For the common good, I just excuse myself.

It seems possible that some people can actually produce good results via pair programming, but I'm not aware of any examples myself.

In dealing with clients three orders of magnitude larger than yourself, you need a "hook." Years ago, due to an electronic miskeying, I got to listen in as a company lead purchasing agent, who had a law degree, discussed with other purchasing agents how they were going to push us around, complete with disparaging comments about our size. We had provided a specialized piece of equipment that the company's employees were sometimes too lazy to perform preventive maintenance on, despite training. I never got on a plane unless the service contract check had cleared.
A minefield and with significant delays now. I would look at other options.
I worked on a team that built a SAAS around 1998 on Notes/Domino. IIRC, we had a Notes database template and created replicas of it for every tenant.

I believe we accomplished all of this using some crazy LotusScript. We pushed really hard to get our product out before Lotus could release Instant Team Room.
