Ok, help me understand this. I’m on #TeamTab which puts me at odds with most coding standards. I usually work solo, so I don’t care, but every time I do let someone else edit a file, the commit shows every line has changed because their editor converts my indents.

Are you saying there’s a tool that will let me work with (superior) tabs but have standards compliant commits?

I’ve tried doing this in my .gitconfig with limited success. It didn’t work consistently.

I find some take-home assignments to be completely reasonable and preferable to whiteboard interviews.

For example, Klaviyo in Boston (no relation, I just interviewed with them at one point) has a take-home assignment listed here [0]. It is simple enough that I can finish it in the same time as phone technical interviews and applies to the company's product and job requirements.

Though I am certain there are companies that have unreasonable take-home assignments.

Whoah! You have quite a treasure trove in your favorites. The possibility of getting some work done vanished as soon as I found that.

Many of the mechanisms for light impacting biological functions show a clear dose-response relationship - fewer photons hitting the retina leads to less effect.

As a rough estimate, one decade (10x) of the eye’s light adaptation, at most, comes from aperture variation - the pupil expanding and contracting. The rest comes from intensity-driven modification of the sensing and image processing systems in the eye - rods that are completely saturated with signal above a few dozen lux become the primary sensors in very low light.

In other words - just because the moon provides enough light to see and even read doesn’t mean that it will cause insomnia.
They USED to have world class software. Compare Oracle DB to the competitors 10 years ago. They were at least GOOD. Lots of good features for giant companies.

Competitors have gotten a lot better over the last 10 years. Oracle has mostly just raised pricing. It works for a while, but at the current path I don't see Oracle the company existing in 20 years.
Cool. I thought there was a new features or release. It’s a great tool. I use it VIM and VSCode
No.

It is NOT really-really a NIST "standard", as a matter of fact the mentioned NIST documents linked to in the article make a completely different set of suggestions fron what the OP listed:

https://pages.nist.gov/800-63-3/sp800-63b.html

and in any case they are guidelines that only apply to some government infrastructures and actually sport:

>These guidelines provide technical requirements for federal agencies implementing digital identity services and are not intended to constrain the development or use of standards outside of this purpose.

The relevant section is 5.1.1, apparently the NIST calls passwords "Memorized Secrets"

If you don't mind me simplifying your answer a bit...

Imagine the orbit of the ISS like a tilted hula hoop around the Earth, with the Earth revolving inside it. Because the Earth rotates once every 24 hours, any given spot on Earth will be directly underneath that hula hoop twice per day (once on either side of the hoop).

When launching to the ISS, you need to launch when that orbit "hoop" is directly overhead. That's the bit that really matters, because you need to be in the same orbit. The ISS itself is almost certainly not overhead (it may be on the other side of the planet entirely), and so it will take some time to catch up to it.
I had a few younger EE professors try to get us to use Python for our coursework just to get pushback from the status quo students talking about "but what about preparing us for industry??". It was pretty disappointing since Python's so much nicer than Matlab for signal processing IMO.
Last night watching the launch I said to my friend: If I worked at SpaceX I would be second-guessing everything I'd ever done every time there was a launch.

"Did I finish that weld good enough?" "Yes, we checked it 1000 times" "But what if I missed something?"

And clearly, those kinds of mistakes have happened. And that's why we check 1000 times instead of 500.
Thanks for the endorsement.

Coincidentally, there's another HN post right now about another female, and black, essayist I adore: bell hooks.

Gender != Sex

You can still analyze based on sex.
It's a matter of tradeoffs. If your webapp is unusable 2 days a year people will just do something else in the meantime.
If your flight control software fails for two days a year planes might come crashing down.
The former is tolerable even if unpleasant from a customer perspective, thus they don't pay for flight control levels of reliability.

And it's not like this is unique to software. It's the difference between a disposable plastic fork and surgical instruments.
See `go fmt` for Go and Black for Python for examples to try out.

This should help. Stick and en editorconfig file in the root of your project and tell it to use tabs and if all developers are using a supported editor then their (superior) spaces would be converted to the (inferior) tabs lol
I jest, but that almost sounds like an idea made with one of those online generators :)
The title of this submission says "math PhD", but if you try to register on the site you'll see it's actually looking for "math PhD candidates", so it's even weirder than you'd suggest: the site author wants discussion from people who don't have a PhD math but might get one in a couple of years. Very strange.

I just don’t think that third parties like newspapers should use these kinds of stylings any more than they should allow someone to specify that their name must always be printed in Times New Roman. The headline is super confusing because of this affectation — it seems like you know, a hook that you hang a bell from.

Why I’m a Hard Incompatibilist, Not a Hard Determinist. (2014)
down-voted for originality
I interview a lot of candidates and we do whiteboarding - to see how candidates can communicate architecture designs and decisions.

The interviews have made me realise that countless candidates are unable to:

1. Give a high level overview of a product

2. Critique design choices and suggest improvements

3. Communicate well as to what the value of components are to the broader business.

Many of the developers can explain a particular piece of logic very well, others can't even do that. But in an enterprise scenario, we need excellent communicators.
Fines will have to be big enough and laws strict enough.

Wouldn't that defeat the point the library is trying to prove?
Going far beyond the scope of sklearn pipelines isn't necessarily a good thing. I don't really see what there is to be gained by making scheduling part of the remit of pipelines.

I'd rather assemble together a set of tightly scoped "UNIX philosophy" libraries and tools rather than try and use an all encompassing framework and be straitjacketed by its imposed structure.

At work I have what are essentially cron jobs running scripts which invoke sklearn pipelines. I've never even thought to make the scheduler aware of what they were running and I'm not sure why I would.
Yes, I did see this news. Also , a week before or so saw reports of the guy at Apple heading up their glasses initiative had left the company.

Most of what I've heard about CWL is that it's unwieldy to use directly; it's main value is as a backend or as an interchange format between different workflow systems. However, I haven't tried it myself and would be interested to hear others' experiences on it.
Curious: how does it better demonstrate non-algo work? How does the interviewer know that you didn't spend the entire weekend googling how to do it? (Although that may be perfectly acceptable to them.)

To me it's a small pattern breaking annoyance, like a linter warning I can't turn off that triggers every time I see it.
It's a clickbait name. I opened the article because I thought it was something about telephones. Just a person's name, with no information about their accomplishments, isn't enough to make me click. If it said "In praise of writer Bell Hooks" I might have read the article, but now I'm mostly annoyed at being tricked.

Books telling women how to behave have always been written. I'm not judging their intentions or consequences, but your conjecture isn't a remote possibility.

Men wrote the foundational texts for many religions. Many revered books are rife with discussions of the ideal woman or some such.

Some books written by women for women are also essentially written on behalf of men and their expectations.

(Disclaimer: I'm not acquainted with bell hooks' work.)
If the algorithm figured out from my email address alone that I'm not a student anymore, I'm pretty impressed. But I doubt that's what happened. :)

That's not my experience.

Before I setup my DO I asked them can I set up ESP? They said absolutely. AFAIK they only ban constant abusers. I sent to very clean and engaged list (noone above 45 days of inactivity) and hadn't had any problems. I have "emergency setup" on different hosting but you are right on point it would take month to come back to same mailing levels.

DO TOS doesn't say you can't send emails. Their control panel allows you to setup rDNS yourself BTW.

These days largest ESPs (Google, Yahoo/Rocketmail, AOL/Live/Outlook/Hotmail, GMX, Wanddo, Orange, UOl, BOL) only really look at IP in 4 categories: narrow whitelist (other biggest mailers, private contracts [banks mostly]), wide whitelist (static IPs of all sort including your $5 DO), greylist (home IPs, mobile IPs, all other IPs that probably should be mailout out in the first place), blacklist (in terms of you land there forever - don't confuse with having your IP blacklisted). Long gone times when ESPs tried to figure on some scale 1-100 how good your IP is.
Comments like that reflect more badly on you than on anything else. For one thing, the book doesn't tell men how to behave, and your knee-jerk reaction demonstrating that you don't know what you're talking about just comes across as arrogant and infantile at the same time.

If this topic doesn't interest you, go elsewhere. Don't drag down the level of conversation for everyone else.
To me, it appears that you just want to pigeonhole the summary into something convenient for your beliefs?

(for context original comment read:

"It seems to me this kind of science is currently politically inconvenient. It points to behavioral differences that have an innate cause. This is well-known to be the case across mammals, but it's currently fashionable to claim that among humans, gender is purely a social construct. What science is telling us all, if we're willing to listen, is that there very much are bioligical reasons why men and women tend to behave differently on average. I personally think that better understanding this is a good thing: it's better for us all if we understand what makes us who we are.")
no, it's called a "search result"
I'm surprised that no mention was made of the U.S. Navy's network of hydrophones (SOSUS) and whatever took its place in the late 1990s. SOSUS was quite successful at detecting a number of Russian submarines since the 1950s with every new generation thereof. In any event, I can only imagine that there would be U.S. government resources (military and otherwise) that could have provided some surveillance information on what happened to the Malaysian 777 airliner.
for any sociology fans, I've always loved hook's idea of living on the margin as a site of resistance

http://pzacad.pitzer.edu/~mma/teaching/MS80/readings/hooks.p...
bell hooks is not "telling men how to behave." It is a book that seeks to empower men by understanding the structural ways in which masculinity can be harmful to men. This is a positive, affirmative message, not one that seeks censure or exclusion.

Besides, plenty of men have written books about feminism and gender. The reception is fine.
Black seems to be the most popular these days. It's certainly the one you hear the most about and it's getting support by default in vscode and pycharm.
The Irish DPC has 10 open cases on Facebook, we'll have to wait and see if they shake out to meaningful change.
Extrapolating normative claims about how humans ought to behave from a study on rat fetuses react to hormones is a massive logical leap.

The notion that sex exists is not particularly controversial in either the sciences or the humanities. What is controversial is (1) its confabulation with gender, and (2) normative appeals on its basis.
I’m surprised they didn’t include Fedora, considering its hardened by default stance.
> ... it's currently fashionable to claim that among humans, gender is purely a social construct.

I'm sorry, but who do you know that thinks testosterone is a myth?
You're the one who brought the politics with you into this thread :^)

Ok, let's say the amygdala is different between men and women. Now, give me a quantitative model that explains observed social differences derived from that.

The issue people take with biological essentialism is that it uses the plausibility of genetic/developmental differences driving sex differences to dismiss or outright deny the very obvious reality of coercive social forces that also definitely drive sex differences. It is a "gender of the gaps" argument that draws ire: "this difference might be physiologically inherent to sex, so I don't think it's an issue worth investigating".

But you're not making that argument, of course.
For me, it depends a lot on the scale of the assignment. I’ve seen some that would require an entire weekend to complete and others that would take a couple hours.

The latter are pretty reasonable and IMO both more pleasant to complete and a better indicator of eventual performance than whiteboard interviews.

The former seem to mostly measure the candidate’s level of desperation/willingness to be exploited.

Me, for one.
I never assumed it was false because of that. It's false because there isn't any evidence proving their supposed point.
A couple of possible points on that. Buffett is always learning and maybe he feel's he understands Apple enough now.

Also to quote Buffett "If you look at Apple, I think it earns almost twice as much as the second most profitable company in the United States". Which I guess attracts him - he's always been into consistent profits on modest capital which Apple is good at.
You said,

> There's a huge confrontation.

Which I agree with, history shows that urban folks and rural folks are often at odds, to put it mildly.

However, you also said,

> Two types of completely different civilizations clashing.

Which I disagree with, rural (not wild) areas are just as artificial and man-made (for all that they have more foliage and critters per area) as cities. Agriculture and urbanity have proceeded hand-in-glove. Farms and cities are both parts of the same civilization.
The Python dictionary implementation is among the most optimized on the planet. Given that Python uses dictionaries for almost everything, very close attention is paid to dictionary performance.
UI redesigns frequently are primarily about aesthetics. You don't have to completely redesign your site to redesign your search.
No, not really. There have been nonbinary systems of gender throughout history. Maybe, the history you were taught, though.
I love it so much because you cannot configure it much, so it defines a clear standard that everybody can depend on
Absolutely. The giant companies who do whiteboard interviews have studied this intensely, because making quality hires quickly is a critical part of their business.

The people who say the industry should stop doing whiteboard interviews, in contrast, have no data.
"This is why the buffer is smaller in bitcoin than in these scamcoins."

Are you saying that the buffer is smaller in Bitcoin because of that CVE issue? As in, the issue was discovered and the solution was the make the buffer smaller, instead of resolving the issue correctly?

Because reading that article seems to imply, at least, that core is affected that issue or am I reading that wrong? Or do you mean something like "lucky the buffer is smaller in core"? Saying that 'something is why something else' reads like that something else is what caused the something, and like I say, I find it hard to believe that the solution to that CVE was "forget fixing the actual problem, we'll just make the buffer smaller"...
He also said somewhere that a person's "circle of competence" can grow as you learn.

That being said, lot of Berkshire's bets are now coming from Berkshire's next generation of managers - Ajit Jain, Greg Abel, Todd Combs and Ted Welscher. It is speculated that the decision to buy Oracle has come from either Todd Combs or Ted Welscher.

Todd Combs is also said to be driving Berkshire's investment into Paytm, an Indian e-wallet company which again is a technology company.
I wonder how much information, if any, is withheld by military organizations in various countries. I presume a particular country doesn’t want to give away their latest radar capabilities or what have you by disclosing tracking information whether it’s through satellite systems or through sub-ocean sonar.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply astroturfing. My comment is asking how many people "paid to read the article" (because it's behind a paywall), and not "were paid to comment here".

Still not a great comment I admit, but with the amount of discussion going on I would be surprised if everyone is subscriber or if they are going off of the headline alone.
It's true, they just have different focuses. Aerospace (in general) has traded huge costs for safety and reliability. Computer engineering (in general) has traded correctness/reliability for low cost and rapid development.
It might not be too hard to cross-reference that email address against published papers to get an estimate of how long since you started the program, or even potentially find online records of your degree and/or thesis.

Amen. Words that could never be more true.
Yeah, Feminism is for Everybody is really fantastic and accessible. I think the online anti-feminist/MRA set would be surprised with how much they agree with hooks.
It sounds like you're bringing up a personal axe to grind. I happen to theorize that a lot sex differences are biologic myself, but I think your comment is more venting than a relevant comment on the article at hand.

This is a massive, unwarranted assumption, large companies do plenty of things that _make no sense whatsoever_ en masse.
confirms some of my suspicions to claims on how sexy and easy go is when it comes to concurrency. if anything it will give you a false a sense of security but god help you in case things go south and you’ve abused these features.
Sure, you can use cron jobs for it. But cron is missing for example notifications about failures or info how long it takes to execute the task.
As much as I love Python, I don’t this example is easily generalizable to other systems.

This takes advantage of probably the two highest performing aspects of Python: raw dict and async (especially under uvloop).

If your app does mostly those things, then yes, Python is a good choice. It doesn’t say much about anything else.
This is less accurate, because not slicing data can also lead to bias.
There are companies out there. I work at one of them, www.hivelocity.net. We provide the managed services and support everyone is talking about in 8 US cities. One of the primary reasons we are in business is the technical experts on staff that are constantly helping our clients, which is obviously expensive.

I think the issue you don’t see “pop up” competitors is the inability to market “great support” empirically. There is a lemon market comment somewhere that is dead on. You can have all the high cost experts on staff but Everyone is going to think your marketing is full of it until they try your services or are referred via word of mouth.
Come on, literally the second paragraph of the article addresses exactly the OP's point. I also wasn't being snarky, I was applying the OP's exact argument to his own critique of the article. I'm fine with sensible moderation, but holding up a mirror on a bad comment isn't an uncivil or snarky reply.
