I went through one of TripleBytes interview processes. The interviewer was smug and condescending

Thankfully it was remote and not during my work hours, so little was lost.
I’ve seen hemp milk also in the middle range of protein, ~3-4g per cup, similar to oat milks.
I bet it is quite different than that actually. The presence of rideshare in a city has spill over effects. A couple of examples:

1. The current death spiral of the subway system in NYC. A lack of riders has caused the MTA to reduce the frequency of trains, which in turn causes the system to be less desirable, which reduces the ridership (and revenue) further. While a lot of other factors are at play in NYC, a substitution to ridesharing is definitely a considerable factor.

2. Recently, I attended a wedding in a small town that lacked Uber/Lyft (and even calling for a taxi was nearly impossible). The consequence was we made dramatically different decisions on where to go for the afterparty. Walkability took precedence over how cool the place was. In places without Uber/Lyft, people's drinking/driving habits shift -- which in turn shifts various aspects of the city/town.
There are tactics that I think can be effective to bust those biases. One might be to put an upper limit on the number of times an interviewer is allowed to ask any given question.

I find it curious that you think this has to do with the particular question. This kind of bias comes up all the time, and it will certainly be in place even the first time you ask a particular question.

Simply growing in one's career and being around mostly other experienced people can quickly lead to one forgetting what it was like to be new to the field.

It's total lack of empathy at that point, and if the candidate doesn't exude near-perfect interviewing brilliance on that specific question, the interviewer judges them as essentially worthless.

That's going way too far. Having poorly calibrated standards doesn't imply lack of empathy. Having an unreasonably high bar doesn't mean you think anyone under the bar is worthless.

There are some other experiments I'd like to run. One of them is to have interviewers go through a one-hour interview themselves for every 50 or so interviews they give. Maybe match up an interviewer who has a track record of being especially harsh on candidates for not giving a flawless performance on the question they've been asking for a while. The idea is to see if we can't bubble up some empathy.

How about just recording data about interviews and using it as feedback to make the system better? If there are outlier interviewers with unreasonable interview-to-hire rates, deal with that situation directly.

I’m not buying that. Lambda is merely an execution environment. In most Lambda functions I write, the Lambda-specific bit is tiny, and could be easily replaced without affecting business logic.

On the other hand, most Lambdas I write interact with other AWS APIs, which is where the real lock-in is. The effort to eg. move the data off Dynamo is substantially higher than what’s required to switch that bit of code to run on k8s and consume a Kafka topic.
A typo implies there is no intent.
I wonder if we're confusing some terms here. When you are saying "the dark net", are you specifically talking about darknet markets?

So, for instance: there aren't hosted forums, or other repositories of information? How does somebody get an index of the people to even talk to in these chats?
>It is about you as a user being able to demand from Facebook that they make your data (or some selection of it) accessible to some third party of your choice.

What's the point of making _my_ data accessible? AFAIR under GDPR facebook already can provide you all your data in downloadable form, at least if you are in EU.

If we want to break Facebook network effect, you need much more.

I, being early adopter, move to new service, called Bookface, and now I want to talk with my friends, who are still using FB. So I ask Bookface to connect to FB and suck the latest updates about these 1000 people, because they are my friends. Hmmm...

Regarding conflicts, I don't see how merge vs rebase makes a difference. If some other change sneaks in before yours and causes conflicts, well, you'll have to fix them -- rebase or merge makes no difference.

Incidentally, I have a script for rebasing a branch across thousands of commits that "bisects" so that for any conflicts you're always rebasing across one commit. I.e., first it tries to rebase across all upstream commits, and if there's no conflicts, it's done, else it picks the N/2'th commit to rebase onto, and repeats, then when it's it restarts from whichever commit it ended up at.
>Most software developed by government funds is developed, at least in part, by contractors. And that is a COMPLETELY different circumstance. The details, unsurprisingly, depend on the contract. //

Isn't the point that the contact should have a non-negotiable OSS clause of it's using public funds.

My impression, from my seat in Europe, is that USA government is run by rich capitalists that would as soon eat faeces live on TV as suggest private corporations be required to service the public good?
I dunno I wasn't a big fan of gym but in high school I remember learning the rules to most of the major(and weird obscure) sports played here, how to stretch, how to use weight lifting equipment, how to dance and general stuff about fitness. There wasn't really any testing though. You pretty much passed as long as you showed up and participated.

I fucking hated the mile and half run though....
I have a small set of interview questions I prefer to choose from, in part because I've given them quite a bit of thought.

I would be sad if I had to switch questions after 20 or 30 candidates because I find it necessary to invest substantial effort in calibrating a new question. Before I ask a candidate a new question, I try use it to mock interview at least 10 people I have worked closely with. Iteration is always required to tune the difficulty and complexity of a question, so the total time invested in a question can be quite high.

One way that I keep questions well-calibrated is that I use them to mock interview other members of the interview panel. This serves at least two purposes: one is to constantly remind myself what realistic answers sound like and another is the help the rest of the panel understand the areas my question will cover.

I find that — for me — this type of mock interviewing and the subsequent retrospective cultivate empathy for candidates. I think this avoids the sort of bias you're observing.

(NB: Some of this may be specific to the kinds of questions I ask; I care less about the initial answer a candidate gives than their ability to self-assess their answer or incorporate feedback to improve their solution.)
Yeah, same here in WI.
IBMs Red Hat gobble: Storage will be a test commitment to OSS software
Trying to get it done before the economy tanks, I think. We're vastly overdue for a downturn, the economy was already over-juiced due to excessive tax cuts/etc, we just put five million households out of work for a month (most of which are contractors and will not even be getting back pay) and will be doing it again in less than two weeks (now that the Superbowl is over and we're not messing with FOOTBAWW we can get back to our regularly scheduled shutdown).

The US economy is extremely likely to slide into recession in the next 2-6 months. And when they do, it'll be a lot harder to get $7 billion for a knockoff IRC client.
In my opinion, the real lock-in is not the stateless API, but the tie-ins with other AWS services that may end up being required to accomplish what you need.

Like, if you're trying to provide a calculator API, you can definitely run that in Lambda and then easily move it somewhere else when AWS does something to upset you. But, let's say you're trying to do something a little more complicated (a common example is validating and transforming profile pictures for some sort of app), you might end up using AWS Step Functions and SQS. Your code is still portable but it relies on a bunch of managed services.

In my high school, gym was a practical course. We could even elect to be on a team, practice a real sport and not be in the “general” fitness class.

We also had a theoretical “health” course where you learn about healthy eating, calories, etc.

But in all honesty there is a disconnect between the theoretical and practical, no continuity whatsoever between the curriculums. Not like my teenage self would have listened anyway...

The British Empire and the United States spoke the same language. Their homelands, i.e the places where they make up the majority of residents, are the same: the British Empire with its American colonies then, and the United States and its "special relationship" with the U.K. and other Five Eyes nowadays. The leaders of the American Revolution were leading British Imperialists immediately before, e.g. George Washington led the 1760's campaign against the French in the Mississippi valley.
The general consensus in the crypto community is that everyone is ok with these types of companies and people leaving crypto.

Contractors have their own hassles when it comes to open source. Pre-openstack, there was a small contracting company called Anso Labs that consisted of a few of us that were creating a private cloud for NASA. After a few months of banging our head against Eucalyptus (java based open-core private cloud software), we decided to write our own version over a weekend and call it Nova. We convinced the civil-servants in charge to allow us to use our new thing, which we continued to improve at NASA. This project eventually became the compute platform for openstack.

There were multiple weeks of meetings with lawyers (including discussions of whether we needed a space act agreement[1]) to figure out how to actually open source the modifications we made on NASA's behalf. Ultimately we ended up having to assign all of the nova copyrights to the government[2] so that they could open source the modifications. I didn't even think that the government could own copyright but apparently it can[3].

No. Athletes aren’t discovered in gym class, they are recruited to play in middle school. Unless you transferred in from some other school, the coaches already know who you are and what position they want you to play.

[edit] and to clarify, I’m talking about high school coaches, not college.
I’m guessing they know the terms but ‘consistency’ and ‘accuracy’ are just more common easier to understand terms without sacrificing meaning. I’ve talked to some TripleByte engineers and been very impressed by the sophistication of the statistics and experimental methodology they use.
At least if you went with IBM and followed the old adage “no one ever got fired for buying IBM” in the 80s, you can still buy new supported hardware to run your old code on. If you went with their competitors, not so much.

Before I moved to France I hated P.E. classes. But I think they did something right here. The year is divided into three sports that you do for three months each. There is always an individual sport (track, swimming) a team sport (rugby, handball) and a one on one (e.g.: badminton). Emphasis is on knowledge of oneself, for example for track you have to predict your time for 3x500m run and you get 1/3 of points this way. If you predict too low or high, you will lose on grade. This means that you actually have to get to know your limits.

The only issue I had was for team sports where the individual differences are just way too high to construct a game interesting for everybody.
If you're not imagining physical assault on the people in power who decide to enable autoplay for their content, then I'm certain there are people who hate it more than you do. But I also definitely think the people who enable autoplay, lack a certain kind of imagination that people could possibly be driven to irrational levels of hate because of this misfeature. But then this also applies to spam and spammers.

> only consider previously recorded self-verified unsigned recordings legitimate, otherwise unsigned=assumefake

Can you clarify this part, especially "self-verified unsigned"? I don't think I understand it - presumably you could generate camera-and-video-specific signatures which an edit couldn't reproduce, but it's not obvious to me how you would verify them without access to the original camera.

As far as sign-while-recording, I agree. We'll quickly end up in a world where video of ongoing events is signed as it's taken. The simplest tactic I can think of is submitting a hash of the video file to some public store, which at least authenticates when it was shot. For an event with a well-known time (a speech, public protest, etc), that should suffice to prove the footage isn't faked, and corroboration of multiple videos should prove it's not an outright fabrication (e.g. pre-rendering a whole different speech).

For time-nonspecific events like a video of a suspicious meeting, this wouldn't be enough. A hardware signature might prove that a video was real, but we'd still face a significant change in that unsourced videos floating around the web couldn't be treated as convincing. We're already getting there with photos, of course, but at the moment a clear, high-res video is pretty trustworthy without a source.

Right, but how's that different between a rebase and a merge commit? In both cases, new commits appear and you need to re-run to get your commit (merge or rebased) in on top of them.

Sure. Over about 6 years I read multiple books and watched countless videos by Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris etc, and was fully bought into their “all-religion-is-evil” worldview.

Then I kept educating myself further.

Is there something I’m missing that you can suggest?

As another commenter pointed out, you didn’t say anything to refute my argument.

But you’ve implied that nuanced arguments are less preferable than dogmatic ones, which is surprising for someone critiquing religion.
The docs are a tad misleading but the important piece is to look at the signature. The `where P: Pattern<'a>` portion states that split needs a type that implements the Pattern trait. If you follow the link to the Pattern trait then at the bottom you'll see a section[0] listing types implementing the trait (&[char] being one) and therefore can be passed into split. Hope that helps!

When you merge you still need to restart the CI. You're taking a shortcut if you have a head that passed CI, do a merge w/ no conflicts and push without redoing the CI. EDIT: And you can totally take that same shortcut with rebase. Yes, with rebase you've lost the metadata about the previous head, but you can actually keep it by including a merge commit whose only purpose is to record the previous head of your branch (you can strip these out at push time, or keep them if you like, but they will essentially be useless -- at Sun we called merge commits "turds").

Merge-vs-rebase is totally orthogonal to CI/CD, but if you find that "merging means not restarting the CI" then you've already got a bias in favor of merging in your policies and tooling, and that's why you have that perception. I would challenge you to understand how your CI/CD is forcing a merge workflow rather than merely accepting it unquestioningly.
We think this tool is suited for businesses who want to provide some real time support but might not be able to afford a dedicated live chat agent.

Our testing shows that it provides precise answers about 30-40% of the time plus another 30% of answers which are good enough.

Should we start de-Googling our lifes after the monopolistic market share of smartphones? Most privacy violations exist in Android phones and personally there's no way I could give 1000$ for an Apple phone. If there was a trully open source mobile OS that could run on every mobile CPU with every necessary drivers we could actually build cheap phones without any software from Google. Imagine if phones were like desktops and you could grab a tiny motherboard stick some RAM, a CPU, a flash drive and you were ready to go.

I'd say all the rules about code complexity are like this.

Recommended function/class/file size, when to abstract vs when to copy, even size/names of function arguments.

There are "rules" about all of these, but the best codebases have tons and tons of violations. Not because they are bad, but because the devs working on it know when to break those rules, and know that they are mostly guidelines.
Pushing back is fine if you have a good reason to do so, and the proposed improvement really isn't an improvement at all.

I fail to see how this is the case here: visitors to the town are getting lost because their address scheme makes no sense at all except to the locals. There's a good reason every other city and town in the whole country (presumably) has adopted the building-number / street-name convention (and in most other countries as well).
