Blood tests. However, what spurred me have blood tests in the first place were symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (in my case: painful swelling of the joints).
Everything I've read indicates that you do still have to do the normal in-person technical interview gauntlet at each individual company. It's possible things have changed recently, though.
It's a good start, but it's so, so oily, even compared to a meat burger - and the oil seeps out all over the place. It's such a mess that I eat them with a fork.

I'd rather eat something like a black bean burger, but I also eat meat so I'm not looking for my vegetable burgers replicate the experience.
Why are these cars legal on the road?
That being said, I'm surprised that they haven't tried selling burgers with veg patties, that they already sell in India.

Ofc they do not taste like meat, and aren't supposed to taste like meat. But, damn, do they taste good on their own.
It doesn't even have to be a question for which there is no answer. IMO it works best with progressive questions where you can start with something straightforward that just validates basic knowledge they should have, and progresses to get increasingly difficult.

I used to ask about the layers in the network stack, and how you might troubleshoot it. I start with something as simple as a firewall blocking a port, or the server not listening on the port you expect. If they do that, great. Anyone who's had to troubleshoot distributed systems should have checked that stuff plenty. Then we try a protocol they might not have used. Most developers have a rough idea of UDP vs TCP, but they might be confidently wrong about some details or try to make stuff up and say "I'm pretty sure...". We go down a layer and try some scenarios where routing is messed up. I don't expect most devs to know about that, maybe someone with more sysadmin experience, but by now it's painfully obvious if they don't know what they're talking about. It happens to be pretty handy on my team, but if at this point someone says, "you know I really don't know a lot about networking", great! I'm glad you told me. Let's skip talking about voltage fluctuations in Cat5 cables and get back to software development.

Another good one is designing a data structure where there's a lot of different access patterns you might optimize for. Gives them a chance to demonstrate some simple coding and CS skills before it gets complex, but then there's lots of room to talk about the use cases. Once you're talking about use cases, are they willing to ask about the trade-offs? Priorities of various use-cases? etc.
Understanding re-identification risk and quasi-identifiers with Cloud DLP
I interpret "repurposed a flag" to be re-using a bit in a bitfield in a binary RPC.

This is a little inevitable when working with (internal) binary protocols. You have some bits that used to be used as one thing, haven't been used for that thing in awhile, and it can be very tempting to just repurpose those old bits for new tricks.

In that case I'd call the sin deprecating and reusing in a single step. If you have to change the meaning of bits in a binary protocol, you should deprecate the old meaning, wait several release cycles, and then repurpose it after you're very, very confident that there are no remaining clients or servers in lurking around production with the old meaning, and that you won't need to roll back production to the old state ever again.

Roll-out failures like this happen all the time; you have to roll-out new changes almost assuming they will happen.

You know, if you look at the current timeline, you'll see that much of the "JS churn" has basically stopped. I mean, yeah - people are trying new things, and products are being maintained. But, the landscape today is really very similar to what it was a year ago.

Yeah, there was a sort of "golden age" of innovation where we went from jQuery -> Angular 1 -> React, with Elm, Ember, and Angular 2+ as sidecars. And, the common libraries and tools have also slowed down in the same way.

We've finally solved a lot of the big problems, I think. Advancement will never end, but I think we'll be able to keep up with it from here on out.

I’m specialized in WordPress best practices both on back-end and front-end. Either creating new sites / apps / MVP or refactoring age old codebases. Themes, plugins, multisite, performance with over 6 years experience.

Since last year I’ve switched my homemade, years in the making front-end framework and design system (Gulp, BEM, SCSS, Webpack) to React. And Gatsby.

On UI / UX design - my work is featured on Brutalist Websites and the WordPress Theme Store.
> Upgrades are basically decided by the user by updating their cmake config.

So why not hash the remote file to ensure integrity, and make the server an immutable store?

> I've got nothing against additional language support, though having to install java to use it is a bit painful. I'll take a look at it; I appreciate the recommendation.

I would prefer if they did not use Java also. However, you do not need to install a JVM to use Bazel since it ships with one internally. To the end user, Java is just an implementation detail.

> I'll agree that the syntax is a little alien to those of us with a background in c-like syntax, but it's never seemed that clunky.

This was all I was trying to say really :)

Looking at the repo, I think it would be considerable tweaking to take a dependency on Nfhttp when you already depend on some of its dependencies. With Bazel (and similar) you have a clear way to glue things together ("workspaces") so you would just ensure that all dependencies take the same workspace.

CMake ergonomics is death by a 1000 cuts. The syntax is unpleasant and the error messages are very poor.
I don't know. Procedural code in Golang is pretty trivial - you basic constructs are regular in the selection, iteration, and sequence sense with a sprinkle of interfaces and some CSP constructs for concurrent design. That covers like 99% of what you need to write good code. I'd say pattern matching is pretty helpful Ala ML, Haskell, Rust. Beyond that all the GOF and Solid and all that jazz seems to do way more harm than good IMHO.

> If you want to get very far with any of those, you will need to write "good code"

If you have ever looked at the code of the most successful programs the code is anything but "good". Have you glanced at the Linux Kernel code lately? But again, "good" is very subjective. The Linux Kernel works well enough to server the purpose of millions of users and enough people understand it. Its good code!

Teller | London, UK | On site | https://teller.io/

Teller makes banking APIs for developers that provide real time access to live, up-to-date data from their users' accounts and also allow instant payment initiation and transfers on behalf of users.

Our approach is unique in that we don't screenscrape online banking portals, we reverse engineer the bank's often heavily protected mobile app to discover its private API contract and implement our own API compatible clients.

Roles we are currently hiring for:

- Designer #1

Are you the kind of designer talented enough to walk on to Stripe's design team but want to have the impact of being designer #1 not #100? We would love to talk to you.

- Reverse Engineering (iOS)

We pop open some of the most well protected mobile apps in the world as a prerequisite to integrating a new bank. If you have a more sophisticated answer than "MITMProxy" for the question "How would you reverse a banking app's API contract?" please get in touch.

We're working on some exciting projects like our own lldb debugserver undetectable by state-of-the-art anti-RE tools and static decryption of Apple's FairPlay DRM. We strongly believe investing in proprietary tooling is major advantage.

- Erlang/Elixir Engineers

Our application is 100% Elixir. We really mean it. We are 100% all in on Elixir, we've even already started building new features with Phoenix LiveView.

- iOS Engineers

We're looking for a great iOS engineer to build a beautiful iOS SDK for our API, and to also work on a secret skunkworks project.

- DevRel/DevX Engineering

Do you think DevRel has jumped the shark and needs a reboot? Same here. This role involves a mixture of core engineering, being a user advocate within the company, creating great content and tooling for the best possible developer experience.

Sound interesting? Let's talk: sg@teller.io
And there are things you could do to roads that would get human drivers killed but not affect machine drivers.

The world doesn't descend into chaos just because chaos is possible. It descends into chaos when the people who cause chaos aren't caught and brought to justice.
And they are?

Your statement is completely anecdotal and carries no weight without the references.
>One problem is that lots of people include tons of known harmless stuff under "bad chemicals" because it's "artificial" (even if it's chemically identical to "natural" things that they praise at the same time).

People who believe in homeopathy don't believe this, since they believe that purified water has "memory", so logically they would also think that naturally-derived and artificially-derived but otherwise identical chemicals would somehow be different from one another.

There are many solutions out there that can generate static sites from a WordPress installation. For example, you can use gatsby.js to generate a static site using WordPress as data source.
If you listened to the hype, yes we are not close; but that'd be your fault for giving in to the early hype, written by tech/science journalists without domain expertise or insider information.

If you look at the reality, certain companies have advanced a TREMENDOUS amount in the last few years. It was less than 2 decades ago that DARPA introduced its self-driving vehicle challenge and none of them could even make it a couple of miles.

If you asked me 20 years ago, would there be a driverless taxi service in Phoenix in 2020, I would have said absolutely no way, the y2k bug scare, tech so hard, we'll never get there.

Abilify is one of the least-bad of its class. But it doesn't address the metabolic problem that is at the root of psychosis.

Coconut oil, niacin/niacinamide (vitamin B-3), and other pro-metabolic interventions help get at the actual causes behind the diagnosis.

Coconut oil is helpful because it can be directly metabolized by the cells, whereas longer saturated fats have to be ... processed somehow before they can be used for energy (I forget the exact name of the step). Coconut oil is also helpful for alcohol cravings.

Cortisol deficiency is now associated with psychosis [0]. This is one of the manifestations of the metabolic problem at the root of the behavioral symptom (psychosis).

For me, VPS hosts with data centers near me isn't a thing, but CloudFlare has edge locations near me.
While I'm hugely skeptical of the current state of self-driving cars, you could probably get human drivers to make the same mistake if you were to repaint the lines. However, humans will also notice the oncoming cars (if there are any) and avoid getting in a head-on collision.

The thing missing from this test is that critical practical piece: if there was an oncoming car, will the Tesla do something to avoid the collision? I would assume that not getting in a head-on crash is higher priority than staying in the lane markings.

Without oncoming traffic, all this is testing is what the Tesla considers valid line markings. I'm sure there's room for improvement here (such as checking where the other lane is, raising the requirement for how well-defined the lines have to be, etc), but those are also going to involve trade-offs where there are legitimate situations that will stop working.

I think you could just as easily title this video "Tesla auto-pilot follows road markings even if they're really bad".

Edit: The best shot I could get from the video [1] makes me even more upset at this test: these look like the temporary markings often used during construction, just before they come and paint the normal lines using the big line-painting truck. There's not even regular lane lines after this. I wouldn't even be surprised if this is something Tesla specifically trained the software to handle.

Some initial analysis-

Of the top 20 employers, the average approval rate was 76%. Most of the employers are outsourcing subcontractors or accounting firms. But there were five employers in the top 20 with 90%+ approval rates: Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Facebook and Apple.
> What about when you erase all the lines on the road? What about when you remove the road?

Both of those conditions can be handled by human drivers...a "self-driving" car had better at least handle them safely (e.g., alert the driver and then disengage autopilot), even if it can't actually navigate under the circumstances.

Not always, at least not well -- I had a car drift into the side of my car in the rain when the lane markers were nearly invisible and the seams in the road made it seem like his lane was moving into my lane.
The alternative: question what you are being told about why you don't feel good, and don't just go along with the pack - its not always headed in the right direction.

That's actually a difficult question!

Javascript is probably a good bet to get started with, stay away from frameworks (angular, react, vue etc) until you know the language. Once you know a language you can pick up any framework crazy easy, but too many people do it the other way around and get stuck.

Although that seems like it would hopefully fix itself as demand for vegan substitutes increases. The Impossible Burger is a good example of a vegan substitute that tastes uncannily like the thing it imitates.

As for cost, it seems intuitive that turning soy into a milk substitute would be cheaper than feeding soy to a cow and milking it if both were done on the same scale. On top of that, some countries tax substitutes higher than the products they replace. In Germany, for example, non-dairy milk has a VAT rate of 19% while dairy milk gets the reduced 7% rate for staple foods.
