This hit me very recently when I was doing a crypto project [1] and ASN.1 DER came up. I'm german and "der" means "this" in German so google just treats "der someword" as search for "someword". So when I want to know e.g. how strings are being DER encoded, I google "DER string" and am getting results for G-string underwear and some duden.de website but nothing about ASN.1 DER strings on the first page :/. At least when you google for "DER integer" a post about ASN.1 values is the fourth result.

Do you have any literature on this specific application and why it's challenging? In my head (super simplified) I would just have both institutions sign the hash of the transaction appended to the hash of the head of the transaction log, then you append hat to each copy of the log and move on to the next transaction. Both orgs then have the full log and can verify that every entry in the log was signed off by both them and the other org. You can compare hashes between orgs every N minutes to verify integrity. I'm curious what piece of the puzzle I'm missing.

You dont need to use a realtor, its a voluntary transaction. If you find the price too high dont use them.
I think we should also be asking this about adults. We know screens interfere with sleep. We know screen time is correlated with depression. We know the mere presence of smartphones lowers cognitive ability and concentration. It seems obvious screen time is bad for adults too, and the research shows we usually spend many/most waking hours in front of one.
Certainly.

To understand the GPL family, here's a rule of thumb: they try to ensure to freedom of the software user, not the software developer. The GPL restricts the freedom to restrict freedom. It goes out of its way to ensure users retain their freedom when using software, including the freedom to see the source code and modify it. In interviews, RMS often talks about his frustrations as a software user. From this point of view, the GPL makes more sense. This is also why the GPL is constantly being updated to fix "bugs" which publishers exploit, to circumvent it (TiVoization, SaaS, something else will surely follow).

MIT/BSD, on the other hand, are about developers. They let me, as a developer, do what I want, including restrict my users. This is why they're popular among... developers! :) But if you look at it as a user, it's actually not ideal.

This is a gross oversimplification, but I find it helps put things in perspective. YMMV!
This feels condescending.

I've been developing for well over a decade as full stack engineer. I've worked as a successful software dev at some big corporations (like Intel, and yes it was fulltime for several years) and almost always outperformed my peers. I work in finance now where everything is about managing portfolios for people - lots of numbers and heavy calculations.

I have no fucking clue how to write a BFS. I've never needed to know how to write a BFS. I will probably never need to know how to write a BFS. Coders like me write business applications where these things are literally never an issue. If there's something I need to know and don't, I simply research it. That's the point he's trying to make. Don't interview people on algorithms they will never ever use. It's as simple as that.

There are more productive ways to interview someone; for example take a bug in your product and see if the candidate can fix it. Or if you're worried about sharing proprietary info, then make a sample program that simulates a bug or feature that your application will use and observe the candidate working on that.
Garbage journalism to cite anonymous internet commenters and then also fail to mention that China's Communist Party
liberally uses internet shills to manipulate public opinion.

>A 2016 Harvard University paper found that in contrast to common assumptions, Chinese Internet commentators are mostly paid government bureaucrats, responding to government directives in times of crisis, and flood Chinese social media with pro-government comments. They also rarely engage in direct arguments, and around 80% of the analysed posts involve pro-China cheerleading with inspirational slogans, and 13% involve general praise and suggestions on governmental policies.

How to change careers in 6 months or less
You are not counting how many realtors there are, and how hard it is to get that listing.

A new agent might not get a listing in an entire first year. In places like SF, its all about how good you are about generating leads, the house sells itself.

> The same thing happens to programming positions.

I can't stress how important this is. Folks going to things like boot camps or other educational outlets that focus on one language will utterly kill their career if they aren't aware of how fast things move. If you don't learn the underlying abstractions and paradigms that take various forms in different languages, you will get left in the dust in a matter of a few years.

The best programmers I've ever worked with got excited about programming patterns and paradigms, not frameworks and syntactic sugar. Those are also the ones I paid the most attention to.

Bottom line for both software and IT engineers: you learn to learn, not just to do.

History of Postgres, starting from early days
I’m not complaining, just acknowledging for the sake of preempting the attacks of comments about microbiome.

Almost any comment in a discussion about diet/nutrition is bound to get downvoted (at least on HN). People are probably bound to downvote anything about the microbiome for the same reasons. Yet we know the microbiome is responsible for turning (at least some) genes on/off, and otherwise our study of the microbiome is in its infancy.

I’d rather have someone reply about the jelly fish microbiome, if any, than explaination of HN social norms. The cool thing about HN is you might get some expert, in this case a marine biologist lurking, not the social norms.
Oh god the horrors that are idx. I just had flashbacks of dealing with the various schemas from different MLSs
I appreciate the reply. I happen to know some of the GRACE team, so I'm personally predisposed to respect their results. But, it's also significant evidence that the retrieval was re-implemented by 2 other teams, one US, one German, with similar results. All 3 datasets are available to the community for comparison.

About fig. 1 of [1]: Of the spectrum of important Earth system models, precipitation is the least well-described. For good reasons: highly non-gaussian, very local in nature, highly dependent on nonlinear condensation/temperature properties. Even in the continental US, precipitation is not well-described. Your remark about deciding on a bogus "uncertainty" of the mean precipitation in fig. 1 is absolutely correct.

But it's of no use to be "skeptical about models" based on poor results of one class of models. The whole reason that paper was published is to draw attention to that fact! They literally say this in their conclusion. ("Most CMIP5 and reanalysis models are unable to simulate a consistent spatial and temporal precipitation pattern for the Antarctic.")

I have come to believe that skepticism is somewhat empty as a value. That's why you have experts who know what the state of the art is, and what to be skeptical about.
In the world of politics and propaganda, it's pretty much all lies. Just like the narrative that russia controls trump or russia is behind brexit. If you think one side is offering truth and the other lies, it's most likely because you favor one side over the other. Objectively, it's all nonsense.

What our "state" propaganda on both of the atlantic have been saying is something all states do when things don't go their way. Blame the "other". The chinese do that to crackdown on muslims, falun gong, etc. The russians do that for separatists. The turks do that. The nazis did it. The japanese did. We did it many times. Everyone does it.

The simplest and most effective way to manipulate and control the public is to present an external threat. It's propaganda 101. But of course, we only call it propaganda when others do it. When we do it, it's news/facts/truth.

But maybe I'm just naive. I'll wait with bated breath to see how a relatively poor country like russia has taken control over the politics of regions that are collectively nearly 40X as wealthy as russia. It's a notion as absurd as dirt poor north korea controlling china, but anything is possible.

The mattress industry (in the US, anyway) is disgustingly scammy. I think it's at least on par with used car dealerships.

I avoid it by buying refurbished mattresses from local charitable organizations.

I've never bought a mattress online, but I see little reason to think those guys are any better.
i used Redfin to buy my latest house. They saved me 1.5%. That said, I had to do all the leg work myself: visiting every potential house meeting my data criteria, compiling all the potentials and eventually narrowing it down to bid candidates.

Assuming that physical inspection leg work+analysis is part of a full 3% commission realtor's responsibilities, I can see that full 3% being valuable to certain time constrained buyers.

However given how rare a house purchase is, I would bet that a large number of full commission buyers arn't aware nor getting the full attention of their realtor.

On the sell side, I really don't see the benefit of a full commission realtor. I did a FSBO before, which is on the opposite extreme. Again I think a discount listing agent like Redfin makes a lot of sense.

I actually wonder why Redfin isn't as popular. I assume due to the aggressive social marketing realators do, and the hand-holding they do during the the high stakes process.
In my life I have modified the golden rule like so: "do unto others as they would do unto you"

I have found that my modification allows the golden rule to work in cases where the person you are interacting with is less moral or honorable than you are. In this case I would consider if one of your coworkers had this knowledge how likely do you predict that they would share it with you? If you come to the conclusion that they would I personally would feel honor bound to do the same. On the other hand if it is more likely that they would use it to their advantage you have no moral responsibility to do otherwise though you may hold yourself to a higher standard and decide to do so just the same. Your family comes first, but knowing my family they would prefer to live with a father who is honorable and kind in a refrigerator box than a father who takes the most expedient route at the expense of his character in return for material rewards.

I'll leave you with a few quotes from Aristotle on such matters that have helped me in that past so that they may help you find the best course of action for yourself. Good luck.

"All persons ought to endeavor to follow what is right, and not what is established."

"Character may almost be called the most effective means of persuasion."

"Man is by nature a political animal."

"Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees the others."

They probably are allowed to use the cloud, it just requires a lot of red tape and paperwork: filling out forms, waiting, and filling out more forms. Pretty sure AWS GovCloud exists for a reason, and that reason isn't because it has no customers.

Lot of people here are using DuckDuckGO. I tried that and some others that respect privacy. I like them but there is only one reason why I still use google.

Convenience. I do lots of movie, tv show, sports and Famous People search. Almost always I find what I am looking for directly on the google result page. If I have to open those links, I will have to go through all that js tracking and bloated sites. Google is fast. I keep track of sports scores and schedule through google search. Bing also does all of these.
Are you aware that this can be done without elevated privileges using seccomp(2)[0] and ptrace(2)[1] using SECCOMP_RET_TRACE? (or with ptrace alone using PTRACE_SYSEMU) Although the ptrace API can be daunting and I believe it's somewhat involved to do anything besides changing values returned by the call, however the upside (or downside) is you don't need to learn any kernel programming. I wish these APIs were more accessible as I feel there's a lot of potential to use them in creative ways.

I limit my 5 year olds screen time to 20 minutes when she asks for screen time. She spends most of her time drawing or playing.

But if you think about it, the device screen time has really replaced the television of our youth. It is used more as a way to babysit our children so we do not have to engage with them.

Documentation suggests Google never stopped doing this.

https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/2466433?hl=en suggests "phrase inside quotes" is still exact match. And if you put a single word in "quotes", that indicates to Google the word must be included in the results (I determined this by searching for something where some words were omitted, then clicking the small "Must include:" link under a result and noting how the search changed).

Documentation around this isn't as good as it could be, and it's rough that the search codeset changed when G+ came around so that +word no longer meant "Must include."

Whilst a fine might be a good idea for crossing the road, it'll eventually be eroded away over time as the practice of _always_ looking at your phone saturates more and more into society.

Discovering this compulsory need might lead to reducing the actual actions but let's face it: Other things you could recieve a fine for, jail time for, etc. are now in the mainstream. Gay marriage and marijuana are two principal examples (not that I'm against either).

It's only a matter of time, really.

Your evolutionary justification is cute, but you're ignoring a lot of counterevidence. For example, in what conceivable evolutionary tale is it adaptive to be surrounded by vermin, feces, and rotting garbage?
Not so fast! The press release is sort of ambiguous. It sort of seems like they only added an additional rule for the merchant to send an email or text with instructions on how to cancel before billing. To me it seems like the first of their statement announces what they've done and the 2nd part tells how they've done it -- with an email to cancel. It's not clear that the same email will require the user to click confirming the charge.

"The rule change will require merchants to gain cardholder approval at the conclusion of the trial before they start billing. To help cardholders with that decision, merchants will be required to send the cardholder – either by email or text – the transaction amount, payment date, merchant name along with explicit instructions on how to cancel a trial."
The whole internship thing for STEM careers is to onboard you early while you are still cheap. Even if you don't work for the company that you interned with, the progress is still there so on day 1 you aren't totally lost. No one wants to give a salary to someone or even spend the money on the hiring process that hasn't worked a day in their life because they have zero clue how well they get along in a work-environment vs. an academic one. From an HR and hiring manager viewpoint, even if you have a lot of experience with a certain tool or field but have no work experience, you are going to look a lot less desirable than someone that maybe has a little bit of experience in that field or with that tool but mostly has unrelated internships. There are lots of smart people out there that can't get along with anyone so they suffer in their career.
I completely agree. I would only add that there have also been arguments about whether GPLv2 is discriminatory, though they also feel long behind us now.

There was no issue with memory. The subscriptions were each individually fulfilled. It was just a mass (stacks of individual magazines monthly). It was fueled by relatively disposable assets plus anxiety. Storage space is a function of assets, which is why hoarders end up with renting storage for housing their junk.
>To debug the traversal algorithm when it breaks in production?

And what's the likelihood of that happening with a well-used framework? Maybe the interviewer wants to see my ability to debug problems - great let's do that instead. You want to see how I work? OK, let's pair on something. Pinning this to "implement BFS at the drop of a hat on a whiteboard or in this project" is bullshit.

>Also, if you know that all the companies do this, why don’t you just study before hand?

Fine. I'll implement a few solutions to the problem in the languages I'm familiar with and put it on GitHub. Now the interviewer can check it out and we don't have to waste time at a whiteboard.
Are the people who work for you busy as well? I'm great at taking in all the extra work and not delegating. Often its because the people under me dont know how to do something - they should be able to figure it out, I'm just not good at forcing them do it.

If they are busy you should focus on getting more resources - as well as improving the productivity of the team.

> The trick is to write your resume so it gets past HR's filter, but without putting bullshit on it. It's unfortunate but I consider this kind of thing a critical skill for anyone applying to technical jobs.

I'd argue that skill applies even after you get hired. Fudging details to get around wasteful trivialities without outright bullshitting the person asking for the requirement is truly an art, and it's very hard to navigate this field without that skill.
To me, that ought to be a concern of the "porcelain", although no one uses that word anymore. CLI is particularly bad at certain types of interaction. So to compensate, a mitigation is moved into the underlying model of git. That mitigation is staging. The inconvenience of "piecemeal adding" could have easily been addressed in the UI layer using a more suitable presentation, rather than forcing all clients to follow the stage/commit dichotomy.

PHP recently received an extension that exposes an asynchronous programming framework, called swoole. It's extremely promising (but not perfect). Here's the link https://www.swoole.co.uk/ and it produces some very, very, very interesting results - both in synthetic benchmarks AND real world. Link: https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r17

In certain use cases, it literally annihilates Golang for example and leaves node.js way, way, way behind.

Now, ignoring the numbers, there are many things you can do using PHP:

- web applications

- background services

- queue systems

Imagination is the limit (but that applies to any language these days)

There's plenty options to choose from, from web-related frameworks to community provided libraries, even the command line interface received a ton of cool libraries to play with. I can't state that you can do X in PHP but can't do the same in Y, Y being another language. However, frameworks such as Laravel make it trivial to bootstrap a project, create an API, create a nice UI using Vue (Laravel comes with excellent Vue tooling) and deploy the whole thing in a few easy steps to popular hosting providers.

Granted, it's not language specific, there was a huge community effort behind everything PHP related: from standards, to package manager, to tooling, utilities and so on so the ecosystem is quite healthy and progressing.

The nice thing about it, ultimately, is that it's really fast enough and keeps getting faster, with new (useful) language features.
