Quite a lesson in facing adversity with grace both from Alex and his family.
Honestly, I prefer maintenance.

Having code that's lasted long enough to need maintenance is a sign the company has at least some grounded-in-reality fundamentals. The projects that fell apart upon learning the business model was untenable or the technical or social problem insurmountable, generally don't need maintenance programmers.

Staying a little off the bleeding edge also lets you focus on quality execution, rather than chasing the trends. Sometimes the eventual best practices aren't even offered and understood if you're adopting a platform or framework too early. Nobody wants to hit a "drop everything and rewrite because there was a huge API shift" moment.

> On the other hand I haven't seen that in finance. Highly exotic (read: "beautiful") mathematics is extremely rarely used in financial engineering. Pricing derivatives is decidedly mundane work compared to the brain-meltingly abstract mathematics deployed in high energy particle physics research.

Not sure if they stick to mundane math, but Renaissance Technologies did pretty well hiring mathematicians and theoretical physicists.
Those cuts are egregiously large, IMHO. Those platforms should be hacked into pieces until competition forces them to fall (or have their pricing regulated like a utility's).
One thing that helps justify it to creators for all these services (including Facebook) over Patreon is that they at least provide hosting, usually of bandwidth-heavy video files or live streaming. Patreon just hosts the equivalent of a Twitter feed linking to YouTube videos.
This actually sounds pretty ideal for someone early in their career. Having to do that much must have been a great learning experience -- one of the perks at working at a startup.

Hiring A people does not make your company an A company.

throwaway5167 didn’t imply that such companies are machiavellian rather than profit-seeking though, but that their profit-seeking nature leads them to be tolerant, even welcoming, of partnerships with actors who are machiavellian (ie driven by spying and propaganda) when that allows for more profit to be made, which is the worrying part
> You call me ignorant and follow with this? Whichmarket economy is Cuba beating specifically? I’ve asked many times and you failed to name one country.

Most countries have market economies. Just look at the GDP rankings. I'm not going to copy them for you.

Then again, you appear to believe that the CIA sugarcoats Cuba's numbers, so I frankly don't think you're open to facts in this matter.

> you think this country is beating anyone?

Whether your claims are lies, hyperbole or correct: Of course it does. Do you think Cuba is the poorest country in the world?

Your claims also don't have anything to do with market or planned economies.

> Do you think an economy who survives on aid from other totalitarian states such as Venezuela

Neither Cuba nor Venezuela are totalitarian, they're authoritarian. Those are not synonyms.

Agreed. k8s makes no sense on 1 node. But in my experience Swarm is just not enough when you have more than one node. You have to work around a few missing key features. (Like the management of deployments. With Swarm you have stacks, and you can update them, but you can't easily roll back the update, you can't easily manage/configure the update. And if the update gets stuck, it just gets stuck, it's not managed.)

Public infrastructure is a social issue. It's one thing for a private company to set up a network of gas stations, it's another for an entire country to agree on gasoline standards and regulation so every car can use them. Electric cars will need similar standards, Tesla won't be able to do it on its own.
This is quite cool, that being said, you would need to add a break at least at the end to that, unlike a regular switch. Plus it would not work in the case that you want multiple strings to lead to the same code
The problem isn't the %. It's the perpetual IP license, which grants Facebook complete non exclusive rights to the Creator's IP, including licensing it to third parties without further pay to the Creator.
The problem isn't in on the creator side, it's getting users to go, sign up and pledge. FB already has the users, it just needs to give them an option to sign up.

Twitch streamers also use Patreon, but subscriptions and cheers on Twitch are more successful from what I can tell - it's closer to the content. If somebody is using FB as the primary way to release content, it's only natural to also do the donations/subscriptions on FB.
The syntax is ugly, the features are amazing. And it's easy to abstract over ugly syntax, but it's hard to work around Swarm's missing features.

Well, Facebook has somewhat transparent guidelines for banning, and will be held accountable in public if they overstep.
Patreon doesn't, your business with them as a creator is as safe as it is with PayPal if you're putting out controversial content.
wages aren't linear and we're paying 50% to 100% more than market depending on experience; we don't lack candidates per se either, we lack good ones.
I'm not sure when that was, but when I was in Germany in 2017 my experience was that every gas station had a washroom that was available to the public at a cost of about 1 euro. There was no attendant, but a coin-operated gate. The washrooms were large, well lit, perfectly clean, had several stalls and often showers as well. It's a sharp contrast to the free washroom experience in most North American gas stations, which is a single stall that you need to request a key for, usually horrifyingly dirty.

I resented paying the euro a bit, but the format made a lot of sense to me.

C is far from simple, a simple language would be something like Scheme, Forth, or even SML. It so happens that the C standard (which is nearly 1k pages long nowadays) hides a lot of pitfalls, making the job of optimisers, implementators, and regular programmers miserable.
It all comes back to Moores law. Today, there is more competition between chip fabs than ever. ARM is beating Intel in a number of markets. They are able to do so, because Intel is slowing down. Intel is slowing down because of Moore's law.

The idea that a company would optimize a chip to their specific purpose is also a consequence of Moore's law. If performance did exponentially increase, there would be no point in optimizing for a task, because by the time you finished that, the general purpose solution would be faster.

Investigators found lutetium Lu 177 contamination on the crematorium’s equipment, including the oven, bone crusher, and vacuum filter, with a 7.5-mR maximum exposure rate per hour on direct contact with the Geiger-Mueller detector. For practical purposes, that converts to a dosage equivalent of .0075 rems per hour. The US Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s limit for a worker's whole body exposure is 5 rems per year, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s annual total exposure limit for a member of the public is 0.1 rems per year.

At least they included this; the original stories in the news didn’t bother. It’s actually one of the few radiation stories for which the punchline isn’t, “Who cares?” You’d be getting the equivalent of about a chest and a half x-ray every two hours. Depending on how long you worked in the affected area you could get a distinctly non-lethal, but still arguably unhealthy dose.

Maybe a decent scintillation counter or GM counter at the entrance to the crematorium would be a sound investment. An NRC certified GM counter isn’t expensive, especially compared to closing for a couple of months or decontamination efforts.
You can do something similar in C - make struct wl_list the first member of struct data, and just cast the wl_list node pointer to a data pointer (offsetof is zero).

I think the most common reason for this generic-location offset-of style is so that the struct data can have multiple list nodes and be on multiple lists (without any extra allocation). This is pretty common in the kernel.
Cool tip about threads, thanks!

What do you like about Resharper these days? The performance impact got too much for me so I got rid of it after being an avid user for many years.

VS-inbuilt Go To Everything, refactorings, and some Rosyln Analyzers like Roslynator do most of what I was using Resharper for.
I'd expect high-end buyers (who typically account for a large majority of the total market) would follow the creators to Patreon if it's creator community expands rapidly.
I don't think Steve Jobs was saying that Apple has 100% A players. I think he was advocating having the better employees have an increased role in the hiring process. I think he understood that A players are the top twenty percent or so (because that's what "A player" means), and for a company with hundreds of engineers to have them all be in the top twenty percent is extremely unlikely.

> All I could think of was the rigid hierarchy problem found in OOP- what if your transitions don’t neatly fit in hierarchies

Yes, HSMs are very rigid. It's one of the few downsides (which I admit as a Harel state chart fanboy)[0]. However, the particular problem you address can be handled by cross-hierarchy events, i.e. one state emits an event, and some other state elsewhere handles it. Plus, of course, not everything is nested; you have orthogonal regions, too.

[0] One interpretation of this rigidity is that it represents the requirements faithfully and compact (YAGNI), so you don't have a level of abstraction that could be used to soften the blows of further requirement changes.
>Like a fine wine, they taste ...

You're comparing it with something that is almost the textbook example of subjective.
Damn really? I just finished reading and I thought it was really interesting.
In my practical experience in both sides of the table, it’s very unlikely that all interviewers across the process would be asking the same type of questions. Usually it’s one-three rounds of in depth technical material, but from there on you move onto HR and management people who mainly want to see your other traits and that you aren’t a psychopath.

In non toxic environments, interviewers far along the process - which are usually more senior - also understand that by getting this far, it’s implied the organization wants the candidate and they would need a very good reason to overrule and eject; they adjust their thresholds accordingly.

Also, a 4
hour travel door-to-door on a plane means:

* Half an hour to go to the airport

* Half an hour passing security and waiting for boarding

* 20 minutes between boarding and stable flight when you can start working on your laptop

* One hour and 40 minutes when you can work cramped in a noisy environment with terrible air quality

* 15 minutes descent and landing

* 15 minutes deboarding and getting out of the airport

* Half an hour to get where you need to be

Same trip by train:

* Half an hour till you are on the train

* 3 hours working comfortably in a usually bigger space with ground level air pressure and very little noise

* Half an hour to get where you need to be.

Travel in reasonably modern trains is by far the best kind of business travel you can have today, IMO.
I don't agree on a single point of you. You are preferring system over user.

IMO, user should always have a choice to make final decision. Don't you want to restart or event download updates? You maybe like viruses or whatever reason, made you do so. Fine I don't care, it was your decision, and I (system) will respect that. I can only warn you, that your system might be at a risk.

> You should never have hours worth of unsaved work open. NEVER.

This is stupid either. I can have unsaved work. It's risky, but again it was my choice. Previous Windows, which didn't restart willy nilly, didn't suffer with this problem as much as W10. So this is definitely regression in UX.
How is the use of that photo transformative in anyway? Did she add to it? Is the piece about criticizing the photo (which would be transformative) or is she using it as part of an opinion news piece (which isn't)?

Yeah, not really.

Was he perhaps in a nursing home? If so, maybe he was just terrified of being left alone.

Many years ago, I turned a girlfriend on to LSD. She loved it, and wanted more the next day. I told her that she ought to wait a few days, for the tolerance to fade. But she was adamant.

So we did maybe 2-3 doses, and she was still unsatisfied with the peak. And -- dumbass that I was -- I suggested that we smoke some marijuana.

That was a serious mistake. Because our short-term memory dropped to 30 seconds or so. I was cool with that, staring at the patterns in everything. But she was not. So I spent perhaps 3-4 hours reminding her that she was just wasted on acid and dope, and that she'd be fine tomorrow.

And she was. Except that she was no longer my girlfriend.

But whatever. Maybe you could have just reminded your grandfather that his short-term memory was hosed. And then assured him that you'd be back next week.
Random tangent, but the craziness around job interviews and hiring is one of the many reasons I think we need Universal Basic Income and Universal Healthcare. In a world where firing an employee doesn't completely upend their life, I fell like companies would be more willing to take a chance on an interviewee that shows promise but might not hit all their marks. Also, a UBI would make it easier for folks to train up and prep on their own time, which seems to be expected these days.

I think our corporate overlords are perfectly fine with the status quo, as the lack of a safety net generally means they get the upper hand in negotiations. But I think from a societal point of view, UBI would result in a more dynamic and competitive business environment by rebalancing the power dynamics between labor and capital. I also think the European socialist countries got it wrong. A strong social safety net should be coupled with looser labor laws (to some degree, I think health and safety regulations should always be strong, among others). But it seems like their strict labor laws have resulted in a stagnation of sorts, causing issues in their economy. We should let companies hire and fire easy, and set their wages as low as they want, but we should also provide enough of of a safety net where people are not forced to take those jobs if they do not want to. That would restore some balance in the economy, and I think it would be a big win from a quality of life perspective as well.

Rock Star developers are a real thing.

Definitely. In spite of the insane hours I worked sometimes to keep that ship a float, it was a really amazing and unique experience. I feel really lucky to have started out there. I left the company about 13 years ago and the product is still running and profitable. I did one rewrite from raw servlets to Struts while I was there. They've tried two rewrites since I left to get it into more modern tech, but both rewrites failed, so a LOT of my code lives on. That's a really great feeling knowing that something I created is still valuable and useful over a decade later.
I've been working on this for the last two years, I've just started writing content for it :)

This is the prime example how one makes false assumptions and then build a whole train of thoughts and arguments so to justify that inherent false cause which is not proven in any way.

Namely: people who are CEOs and (hiring) managers are not even close to be the best. More often than not they are instead: privileged, socially well positioned and well educated people who have the right connections to rely on.

It seems the author have never heard of nepotism either. Or the so ubiquitous way of hiring former institution leaders as industry lobbyists, etc.

And one more false assumption: interviewers can better judge the skills of the candidate than the candidate itself. Where is this myth stemming from? No clue.

Other than the ton of false assumptions it is based on it's a good read still.
You are right. Constraint solving in general is a specific area that does not require a knowledge base; instead it is a search for a solution from the specified domain that fits all the specified constraints. Here there is considerable overlap between prolog, alloy and z3.

However, most general prolog programming has the same requirements placed on other executable languages, to transform, store and communicate data. Alloy is not the tool for this aspect.
