Recognition of "our need to depend on one another." is not the end goal of the average left-leaning person (or at least those I know), the end goal is for nobody to suffer through poverty/neglect. The average right-leaning person would also like nobody to suffer through poverty/neglect. The right just believes that government intervention won't help poverty, and that it destroys family and community bonds via the government stepping in to fulfil the roles previously played by family and community. The left believes government intervention is needed to fight poverty, and to fix the failures in family and government. I'm sure if you offered the average leftist the chance to live in a world where nobody lived in poverty, albeit one without "a recognition of our need to depend on one another" (whatever that means), they'd happily accept.
Ending is hard, and when it comes to sci-fi series it empirically looks impossible: I can't remember a single one whose end wasn't disappointing.
The headline here is incredibly misleading. The CDC is not making the factual claim that "low-income parents send sick kids to school due to lack paid sick leave".

The actual truth: a paper from the CDC finding an apparently quite weak link between poverty and rate of school absence due to sickness stuck that in as one of many somewhat plausible explanations, in a very speculative discussion section.

To emphasize: the headline of this story is not one of the factual scientific claims of the paper.
Agreed. Getting rid of oh-my-zsh had been one of the best decision in my life within terminal. Over years I must have gained hours and days of cumulative productive time from this single decision.

I've put a road kill deer in my trunk, brought it home, strung it up under my deck and butchered it by myself in the night. I will tell you that was far more emotional for me than any shot I've ever taken with a rifle or shotgun.

The butchering can certainly be more emotional that the killing... it might 10 seconds to grab an axe and swing and then at least 30 minutes to cut the skin and pull it off of the body, to cut the body cavity open and to slice out the internal organs. It feels different than say preforming an autopsy in biology lab... you might have this moment as I have where you realize that the story you tell yourself, that you're a killer with a higher purpose, is just that -- a story. It doesn't make the animal you murdered feel any better about the fate it met at your hand.
I would guess it is a significantly different feeling in cultures where a large portion of the population kill what they eat. Even here where I live, in rural Pennsylvania, people will often look at you like you're a sociopath if you tell them you killed and skinned and ate any animal other than a deer, and yet, the first day of hunting season there were often many empty chairs in school because dad wanted to take his kid out to celebrate a time honored tradition. Those kids don't often cry when they kill their deer, they often feel an overwhelming sense of pride. And then they pay a processor $50 so that they don't have to do the hard dirty work themselves.

It's the difference between a user ID (be it a small integer or a long string) and actually authenticating to perform actions AS said user.

SSN as a user identifier - to uniquely describe an entity

Actual PKI including a secure public/private key with a signature from a trusted agent (like a government ID authority), and maybe also web-of-trust signatures? THAT is what is required to securely sign things.
Could anyone recommend a good “terminal/shel guide” for people not familiar with the shell and gnu tools at all? Like ls, cp, less, find, grep etc and why is it all needed? (not for myself; for some friends who are learning coding on macs)
Analyses of only the R&D budget is surely a biased interpretation of the statistics. To spell it out: If XYZ nation contributes 100bn and receives 10bn back to spend on R&D (because it has loads of high skilled workers / industry perhaps) and 20bn back to spend on everything else - that still makes it a net contributor to the tune of 70bn.
Let me explain to everyone else how your function works. It's turning a tree into a list. The tree is rooted at “rest”, and the list starts at “pseudoRoot” and ends at “tail”.

If the root of the tree has no child on the left, it pops that node and adds it to the end of the list. If it does have a left child, then it does a right rotation on the tree, which makes the left side smaller. (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_rotation .)

I was wondering if this really runs in linear time. Call a node in the tree good if it lies on the right-most part of the tree. In other words, a node is good if the path from the root to that node only goes right at each step. The root is always good. A node is bad if it is not good. Each right rotation turns a bad node into a good one, and the pruning removes one good node. So it is really O(n) time.
> What's your excuse, USA?

Well, what's Fiji's excuse for being "barely above 'third world' status" ?

What makes you think it's normal for Fiji to have low standards of development, but it's an aberration for the USA?

It turns out there are many different dimensions of development, and just like many countries, the US ranks poorly on some of those dimensions, due to extremely complicated and maybe intractable political and cultural issues.

DuckDuckGo is my primary search engine, and I like this. If I said this, most of my friends would go 'Huh?' - good way to spread awareness. Even if it's more awkward to say than 'google it'.
The article is about fixing all those issues.
Anything safety critical should require a recall, and for everything else if the user isn't bothered that tells you a lot about how important updates to car software actually are.
But I think this really depends on your work-enviroment. If you have a lot of different servers I understand that this could get really annoying, especially with all the context-switching. But I just have to work with a few (where I have a minimal setup without zsh) and have all the bells and whistles on my laptop. And I am really a fan of zsh and the spaceship-prompt (the one the author recommends). Easy to set-up and very usefule!

My daughter killed a small rabbit when she was 4 year old. I was not there but the story is that mom tried to take it away from her and she got overly violent trying to snatch it back out of mom's hands. Clearly she did not have the bunny's welfare in mind in this moment or she would have been more gentle. I don't see a difference between her actions/motivations and that of an overly rambunctious puppy. In general, my daughter is a very kind, compassionate, caring person.

They're useful, but they shouldn't BE useful. Their existence only exacerbates the crappy algorithms interview. It's akin to trivia for anyone in a position that they have to program for.
I happened to speak to a recruiter this week about Google. In-house recruiters are an eternally revolving door. They come and go, they aren't incentivized like the externals, and they often aren't well trained. So I can imagine them glossing over your CV and missing the important points.

You should definitely check “The Mastermind: Drugs. Empire. Murder. Betrayal.” by Evan Ratliff. Fascinating story.
Signing updates specifically would also still work with OTA delivery. Especially if the update can only be triggered from inside the car while simultaneously pressing some buttons. How the update is transferred should not matter for security.
I know nothing about acoustics and its units - the abstract of actual paper says more precisely that it reduces the 'acoustic energy' by 94%, not the power. Can you convert this to a decibel figure? Would you mind explaining what these units mean and how you do the conversions?
This posts pretty much outlines all the things that I do as well. It is true that in going this route there needs to be a time investment at first (and some fiddleing throughout) but once you're set, there is no need to jump on to the next hot editor and learn new keybindings.

Where I disagree is the notion that a dev environment based on the terminal beats an IDE. If you are using a language with a huge (type-sensitive) API or a complicated framework, nothing beats an IDE for its auto-completion. Especially if you don't have a black belt in that language/framework yet.
You can use ctags and auto-completion plugins but nothing beats the code-introspection developed for IDEs.

If you don't code against complicated APIs, there is nothing that beats long-term productivity with a deep understanding of the terminal and an editor that is with you for many years.

Even if an IDE is the better choice for day to day work, it is beneficial to be comfortable in the terminal.
I sometimes find it hard to believe how uncomfortable coworkers are when they have to do some work on a remote server and what length they go through not to use the terminal.
The current job interview process has created their services, use them until there's a shift in the interview process.These services found an unexploited niche and exploited them succesfully.

As for forgetting what you learn, yeah that's expected - if you don't use a skill it rots away.most industries don't require a rigorous knowledge of EVERY data structure and algorithm.Ideally companies wouldn't use them but if they don't too many low skilled applicants slip through the net and have to be eliminated as costlier stages of the hiring process
It generally means they're not handling it in a secure way. Worst case scenario is that if the checks you see client side aren't also server side someone might be able to inject things that run as... whatever the server side processes are.

That reminds me of myself. I remember when I moved from screen to tmux and the default "master" key changed from ^A to ^B. All the time lost changing it back to ^A in .tmux.conf. In the end I simply got used to ^B and that's what I have.

I've gone as far as to open bug tickets for open source projects arguing that the defaults should be changed so I don't have to configure as much software when I move to another computer :D

Who is paying for those five extra days? Is it the health insurance? Your cost of health care will go up or service will get worse.

Is it taxes? Your taxes will go up or money will be missing in the budget (or you will need to get more debt).

Is it the employer? Wage suppression.

You haven't gained or won anything really. There's no free lunch.

I will make an exception though: If you make people stay home when they are sick, you may reduce sickness overall. However, if people spend their entire "Family Care Leave" on rugby matches and then illness strikes, it's not going to work.
Children are expensive. And it’s not about money. It’s about time and energy and effort and incessant tending and bonding.

I honestly think people need counseling and planning before they start to think about starting a family. They need back up plans and contingency strategies.

It used to be that we lived in small communal groups and non nuclear families. Usually matriarchal wherein the post menopausal grandmother plays a crucial role in the post reproductive years to give the attention children need.

Clearly this system worked. We will be hitting 10 billion by 2050 due to exponential population growth. But the world has changed. Coping with the new resource strapped crowded new world is not by handing over the responsibility of child rearing to the state or the tax payers.

There is NO village that will raise YOUR child. It’s time for responsible procreation and talk about such things without fear or shame of being chastised. We can now store our genetic material. People should be given a lot of advice and caution before they want bring children into our future. Responsible parenting must be incentivized and not just procreation in the form of tax breaks and taking over of child rearing by the state. This issue really stresses me and I only see it getting worse.

I don’t know why there isn’t enough funding or initiatives to address this.

It's an American thing mostly. It's absurd. I think a lot of people at those levels just want to avoid their families. And the businesses are reckless on spending and allocation of time resources.
I think other professions emphasise past experience and referrals more. That and official credentials, especially in certified professions (I.e. Medicine).

That said, I think all interviews have an element of silliness to them. I know a financial consultant who was quizzed over articles published in the days financial times newspaper. Also know one of our analysts makes candidates do long division on paper! Don't forget the infamous how many golf balls can you fit in a jumbo jet kind of thing.
Can you give some specific examples? (Live in Europe, curious to hear)
Upboat for rationalisation.

Also, from the European perspective (and specifically speaking of the technology sector, as that's what I have first-hand experience with), taking sick leave to take care of a child at home isn't a thing, whatsoever. You would just send an email to your team saying that you're sorry but you're working from home because your kid is sick and that would be the end of it.

No compulsion to take vacation.

No compulsion to take sick leave.

No punitive punishments for being human and for your family members being human.

It really is a different world, over here. However, given the American exceptionalism showing up in the thread, I'm going to wager that this probably going to see some vitriolic response.

Growing up in the north of the UK I had the same 2 lunches every day at primary school (4-11) without even batting an eyelid, cheddar cheese, sliced between white bread, packet of crisps. Or the same sandwich with a slice of processed ham if it was a good week.

It was only once i got to highschool (11-16) and students started taking notice of how bland, unbalanced and repetitive this was. In my world it was totally normal.
Because in learning those things, you don't just learn 'facts', you learn generalisable patterns of thought.

The generalisability is more obvious in something like physics where the same physical laws apply in different domains.

Computer science doesn't have axiomatic physical laws, but it does have recurring concepts. If you learn about memory hierarchies in computer architecture, you can apply similar principles in dealing with caching systems in web-applications.
This is rich coming from the head of AEI, an organization which is part of a network of think tanks funded by the likes of Koch that have been bootstrapped to promote corporate interests and a worldview where there is no society only 'wealth creators' and workers. [1]

Wendy Brown, Philip Mirowski and Nancy Maclean [2][3][4] have gone into immense detail on how these organizations are created and operated behind the scenes to fund and spread self serving ideology and propaganda.

They have huge problem with collectives of workers but see no problems with organizing themselves into 'groups' to not only lobby Congress, but sponsor university economics departments and hire thousands of people to push these self serving views in the press for decades on end. This itself compromises this project for untenable self serving hypocrisy. Its for individuals who buy into these narratives to question if organizing to promote and further their interests for decades is good for the wealthiest why is is not good for workers?

There are thousands of people whose job it is to come up with decontextualized words like 'wealth creators', 'job creators' to create a halo narratives for corporate interests and undermine society, citizenship, the social good, the environment that make 'wealth creation' even possible. So all those take a backseat to 'wealth creator' interests. Since you can't create wealth without society these two cannot be separated but since there are no civil, citizen or worker groups and structures to counter these anti-social narratives you don't get balance but a one sided self interested perspective.

In the AEI world the only thing that matters is people like Kochs business and personal interests and making sure government is not 'impinging on their freedom'. And to achieve this they propagate a fundamental anti-human narrative and create an environment where ordinary people and workers are held in contempt for even expecting living wages and conditions and their access to basic achievements of western democracy like education, health care and living conditions is consistently hollowed out to promote privatization and become 'entitlements'. And we are left with a decontextualized unstable individualized view of the world that exists in a collective but is forcefully detached into a context less existence.

That is 100% true. Also, you forgot another group - sales guys. I think they also play a big role in exploiting Indians by paying peanuts while charging the customer $25-30 per hour.

Lets assume that evaluating a Python 2 items() call or list isn't atomic, and it would break some multi-threaded code. Even with that, there is a huge difference with iterators that can be passed around left and right, and be executed far after they are generated.

Using a non-threadsafe list, race conditions and other problems will likely crop up in CPU-bound applications. However, with iterators, that may get lazy executed far after they are created, race conditions are far more likely to occur.

As an example, consider the following program:

for value in x.items():
do_shared_network_or_disk_call(value)

If "x" is a list, there is definitely the possibility of race conditions cropping up. But if "x" is an iterator, the possibility of that increases dramatically. In a multi-threaded/processed environment, both are bad, but why would Python 3 try to make the situation worse?

Can you give examples? I'm a huge doc nerd and in my opinion we're in golden age of documentaries right now in terms of film-making.
Documentaries have always been a way to express opinions though (personal or political), nothing surprising here. Basically anything made my humans will be stained with their worldview.

Some people believe Google or news outlets to be objective depictions of reality, I think, we just tend to oversimplify and not look too deeply into things that are not our primary concern.
I have yet to find a terminal application that can replicate the contextual awareness and refactoring abilities of the Jetbrains family.
