> Shouldn't the burden of proof should be on Forrester's model to prove that it is true?

That's not really how models work. A model is a prediction about how the world works; you can't prove them true. Even if my model of wheat harvests or global warming or city growth, or stock mark volatility works for the past 10 years in backtests, and worked this year, it doesn't mean it'll work next year.

It's like machine learning; you can't prove it's going to give you the right answers going forward; all you can do is see if it gave you the right answers so far, and hope for the best.

That was an unbound variable, not due to a tool for predicting what directories you typically navigate to. Who in their right mind would use that in a shell script? (Actually, nevermind, if github had decent code search I'll bet you could find rm -rf --no-preserve-root `fasd somefile` somewhere in there.)

In some way yes, especially when looking at comparing their time/memory complexities and weighing tradeoffs.

A good starter would be to go through the classic: Cracking The Coding Interview book as a form of guide.

Also there are a few sites out there that offer practical contextual problems to solve in preparation.

Interview questions vary and how stringent they will be with it would also vary.

This is the correct comment. The story is simply about a complex disease being hard to pin down. In fact everything worked as intended: when not sure, every doctor suggested the patient look for another opinion, which eventually lead to the correct diagnosis.

It's also not very well written / articulated. It's in the style of Atul Gawande, but doesn't compare well.

I'm not convinced either. What's the performance of getting the the state 10 versions before? What is exactly the size difference between a git repo and a pijul repo of the same thing?

As for patch vs snapshot, that's arguing at the implementation level. It doesn't affect my use of a tool except as it relates to performance and merging/branching... etc.

Preferring a patch approach rather than a snapshot is like saying map(+)[1,1,1,1,1] != last([1,2,3,4,5]). I don't care.
You can use Chrome + NodeJS as the shared runtime instead of Electron, using an approach such as this: https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/carlo

You still need to bundle a copy of NodeJS with your app if you're not targeting developers, but that's much smaller.

Of course, this still has many of the issues that a shared copy of Electron will have - you need to make sure that your app stays compatible as Chrome is updated. The HTML/JS side is typically not an issue, but the devtools protocol that you need for this does get breaking changes now and then.
This is unreasonable. First of all, often you don't need patches, so it's premature optimization. Second, git decided specifically for the actual-state version to have this key-object store, which means you throw away not just the disadvantages but the advantages as well. Last but not least, git ALSO STORES DIFFS when it packs stuff up, which is what happens if big amounts objects need to be transferred or big amounts of old data needs to be stored.

That doesn't mean pijul is a bad tool. I didn't check it out. And I really think for everyday coders who don't want to become git-gurus it would be nice to have a simpler git-like VCS, for instance.

But the marketing must be updated according to the facts. Try to find features that people really care about, e.g. ease of use, e.g. integration with build tooling and docker, e.g. better federation through more automation which makes centralized servers like github go away.

I was dissapointed that your submission hadn’t caught traction, so I reposted it with “Intel releases ...” in the title because for me that was the newsworthy bit. I was interested in what the community had to say about this Intel code being optimized for Intel cpu’s.

It seems the mods changed the title again though, and reading the comments people seem to be surprised that this is Intel’s.
If anything, your link to "exkimo words for snow" seems to mostly disprove what you are stating in your message.
I get the joke, but an Electron "player" daemon seems like a decent idea. It could manage getting the right runtime versions, installing apps, deduping assets and granting permissions.

It'd be a sort of cross-platform Google Play Services.

Even if you invoke your lambda function to warm it up in anticipation of traffic, you'll still hit cold starts if the lambda needs to scale out; the new machines are exposed to inputs "cold." Those crazy patterns trying to warm the lambda up are really crazy if you think about it because no one is using them is really aware of the underlying process(es) involved.

"Why are you throwing rocks at that machine?"

"It makes it respond more quickly to actual client requests. Sometimes."

"Sometimes?"

"Well, most the time."

"Why's that? What's causing the initial latency?"

"Cold starts."

"Yeah, but what's that mean?"

"The machine is booting or caching runtime data or, you know, warming up and serverless. Anyway, don't think about it too much, just trust me on this rock thing. Speaking of which, I got to get back to bastardizing our core logic. Eddie had great results with his new exponential backup rock toss routine and I'm thinking of combining that with a graphql random parameter generator library that Ted said just went alpha this afternoon."
I would say it's not political speech but it's a parody containing a figure of public interest.
Before I clicked the link, I expecting this to be pretty useless, but I was pleasantly surprised. I'm sure lots of thought went into logos like Electron's or Angular, but at the end of the day, there just needs to be a catchy symbol people can visualize when they think of your project.

That said, I probably wouldn't use these logos for an app or anything that needs a strong brand, but they're perfect for little Github projects. They're kinda generic, which is what I expected, but there was more variation in the generated logos than I expected there to be. Even if the designs are pretty generic, I can see this being pretty useful for non-designers who wanna write a library that has a semblance of an attractive README.

I’ve had two very similar experiences as well. They were back-to-back interviews and in both the interviewers started simple, then stepped up the difficulty. During the whole process the interviewers worked with me, not against me. Of course the questions became hard and they were clearly looking for a good answer, but the whole process did not feel antagonistic at all.

What is the best way to data science: internship, PhD, or software enginneer?
That's true, but if you parameterize enough variables and generate enough combinations, you'll eventually find a result with great design. For a non-designer like myself who might want a neat logo on a software project I'm working on, randomly generating stuff like this and picking the best one is something I'd try before opening up Illustrator or hiring someone.

I think the main problem with this service is that the parameters are probably pretty simple and it's gonna mostly output generic patterns.

Helping to Build Cloudflare: People: Finding, Nurturing and Learning to Let Go
This is basically how CVS worked, as inherited iirc from RCS. Presumably the authors know this, so they must be doing something different, though I can’t tell what from the description or pijul’s FAQ.

Perhaps they figured RCS, SCCS et al are so old that mentioning them would add confusion for most readers. Might be reasonable, but for me I am unclear as to what’s up with Pijul.

> Just because public money was used to buy a service doesn't make the IP the property of the public.

No, but it could. Might raise costs initially, but the idea is that enforcing such a spending policy would lower costs and reduce duplication long term. Not to mention that having law and beurocracy enforced by closed source systems is a major threat to freedom and democracy, of course.
>Many view "the US" as a homogenous place, culture, and group of people.

There are differences in the ways of life between NY and South Dakota, or SF and Alabama, or Denver and New Orleans, but there's also a distinct common national culture and character. Poverty levels, jobs, city vs rural etc change, but culturally all those places are more similar to one another compared to a different country.

France is not homogenous either, in the pedantic sense, but in the same we discuss here it is.
wow, that's neat! thank you.
I'm not arguing discovery is not work. I'm arguing about the limits on returns on discovery, because those need to be balanced with the rest of society.

In this particular example, from a more global point of view, it would be best if the farmer who discovered new food was incentivized to share the knowledge without restrictions, as widely as possible, because not doing so means lots of unnecessary people sick or dead.

> If people do work, and we benefit from it, and they don't benefit from us benefitting, that's crooked.

I agree, but there has to be diminishing returns on that benefit. Otherwise, each discovery is forever holding the civilization hostage. You can't run an economy based mostly on rewarding the estates of inventors for their past inventions. At some point the discovery has to be owned collectively, by everyone, and become a building block for next discoveries.

Current western IP systems sorta recognize that, at least in theory. In practice, we're dealing with a) protection periods not reflecting the reality of modern industries, and essentially putting a brake on progress; b) a system that's thoroughly gamed, and no longer serves the interests of society. Between ridiculous copyright extensions, vague patents, obvious patents, speculative patents, trolling, rights trading, MAD via patents, the system legitimizes rent seeking, and does not incentivize people to create/discover things in order for them to benefit the whole.
So, let's ruin cities, pollute the environment, waste resources, and screw the poor, because some people "hate public transport".

Adapting education for the digital age
That's only because Richard Of York Gave Battle Playfully sounds stupid.
Isn't that always the case though? I mean, outside of e.g. lambdas or other platforms / runtimes as a service?

I mean a few years ago there was a huge security flaw in Apache Struts, whose impact was big because it had been used in a lot of older applications - meaning a LOT of people had to be summoned to work on old codebases to fix this issue.

The problem isn't a changing runtime - even if you self-host it you should make sure to keep that updated regularly.
Malpractice and arcane billing makes US doctors avoid anyone not their patient.
For sure; the external interface of a lambda is trivial, that is, a single entrypoint function with an 'event'. It's relatively easy to create a simple wrapper around that to make it either provider agnostic or self-hosted.
Generally, asking opinions rather than specific technical answers.

Asking "Do you have experience with technology X" is useless - everybody knows that "yes" is the expected answer.

Asking specific technical questions is random - they might or might not have come across that particular problem. Also, in practice the answer would simply be looked up, and you don't want to hire for memorization.

Instead, ask things like"How did you find working with <technology X>? Can you compare it to <common alternative>, or <similar tech also listed on their resume>?".
Or maybe "what worked really well with <technology X>? What pitfalls did you fall into? Anything for which you would, or would not, recommed it?"

This kind of info is hard to fake, gives you good insight into their thought process and priorities, or just gets people talking about their projects more easily than a generic "tell me about your work on project y".

Well, there is a cost to be portable and the cost to adapt an app that's not portable.

Whether it's DB independence or cloud provider independence, from my experience it's cheaper to pay the cost of the migration when you know you want to migrate (even if it involves rewriting some parts) rather than paying it everyday by writing portable code.

Most of the time the portable code you write becomes obsolete before you want to port it.

Maybe it's time to revert back to[1], or even create a new service that removes the artificial layer of photo sharing...

A camera app on your phone, that can't access your files, and has no inbuilt filters. You take the photo, and it instantly gets uploaded to the photo sharing service. No editing, no offline photo manipulation. What you shoot, is what what you share. Deleting a previously uploaded photo should be possible, but a deliberately complex affair, to discourage image curating.

I doubt anyone would use this kind of app, but it's nice to imagine something like it existing.

---

[1] Instagram was originally 'as-shot + filters only' on your phone. Later, they caved and allowed previously shot photos on your camera roll to be uploaded, which led to an abundance of phone photo editing apps, then finally they allowed desktop uploads, and that was the end of what made Instagram different.

Speaking several languages gives you some advantages. You need to automate the distinction of complex sensory patters to the point in which it become effortless(after lots of practice).

You create complex neural networks that process this sensory data.

It is incredible how we see an image with text on it and text just pop out effortless in Mandarin or English, Russian or Spanish.

But IMHO, it is not speaking spoken languages that will give you an edge, because they all are similar, but knowing the different languages of very different fields.

For example a Musician speak the language of Music, tones, frequencies,Harmonics. It works in the same way, after lots of practice it becomes second nature to understand complex patterns in the world.

There is a language of science, understanding orders of magnitude, entropy, energy, numbers in general, experiments, errors.After lots of practice, it becomes second nature to you understanding those patterns.

Someone who works with people or animals like dogs could anticipate what they are thinking (or what they will think in the future), just by looking at the body language or speech nuances. After lots of practice, it becomes second nature.

Programmers learn a computer language, and after years of practice, it becomes part of who they are. There are Holy wars in programming because people that master a language feel threatened when this language is attacked, is an attack on themselves.

One group is saying they want equality and accuse the other of supporting the status quo if the other don't support single-sex organizations.

The other group is saying they want equally and accuse the first group of supporting discrimination for having single-sex organizations.

One can accuse the first group of assuming bad faith or the second group for building strawmen, but all that does is signaling which group one identify with. It is unclear how to find common ground when both groups clearly has the same goal but have polarized opinion in how to get there.
You’re right about not caring about the implementation level.

But the difference isn’t just at the implementation level, it also relates to merging etc.

See here for an example of how merging works better, by taking into account intermediate commits: https://tahoe-lafs.org/~zooko/badmerge/concrete-good-semanti...

That is to say, start with version A, on one branch commit versions B1 and then B2, on another branch commit version C1. To merge the two branches (B2 and C1), Git/Subversion etc. will do a three-way merge of “A to B2” and “A to C1”. It won’t take into account B1 which provides vital information to do a better merge.
That’s not old school, sadly it still happens all the time (running over toddlers)
