Got rejected from Nubank last week for data infrastructure engineer role. Feedback after the technical interview was "Your profile suits DevOps role and not dev support role." Not sure what that even means. I wonder if i cannot write clean code, how i cleared the take home assignment with positive feedback.
You're bringing very fair critiques on costs and construction time to... a discussion about safety.

There's many ways you could be implicitly connecting the dots to this discussion somehow. I welcome you making those clear. I am not going to put words in your mouth, though.
This sounds interesting. Do you know of an example that does this?

So if I have multiple threads reading the same mmap'd file, I use si_addr in the signal handler to know which page to call MAP_FIXED on?

Why would it be "clear" that we should suspend certain constitutional protections for border security? I personally find it a little unnerving that people would see this as obvious.
I definitely buy the core the thesis of HyperNormalisation, but I find it equally likely the CIA/deepstate would push a narrative that all those UFOs that started popping up right around the time we were getting nuclear off the ground was totally just the super awesome USA government's super secret technology.
I can easily imagine other side of the world being tough. +/- 5 hours or so, you can reasonably time shift a bit so there's significant overlap in the course of the day. But you get into 12 hours and you're into one or the other ends of the call being well outside normal work hours. So it doesn't happen a lot on a regular and casual basis.
Aha - but the goal of the "Build the wall" slogan was to get elected. It wasn't a carefully crafted policy for border control. That slogan achieved it's primary goal
Because I guess adoptions, or family relationships a little more complicated than the nuclear family don't exist.

Here's how I explain it: Science and Nature play a role different from other journals. Their role is to stimulate new thoughts amongst the most skilled in the field. Any really good scientist in a field can read a paper published by another really good scientist and hone away the bullshit, but be inspired by the ideas. People who are not skilled in the art of reading a competitive paper are going to be disappointed by the sloppy lab work, sloppy writing, sloppy thinking, because it appears that the overall benefit of disseminating new ideas widely for experts to cogitate on may exceed the value from having "perfectly correct" papers.

Case in point: the original DNA structure paper (W&C, 1953) actually had a wrong detailed structure for the DNA (but the right conclusion about how the structure provided a hypothesis for a templating mechanism) because the alcohol concentration used to form the crystal was too high. The value of getting the paper out the community ASAP greatly exceeded the small details that were wrong (which eventually got resolved), because it stimulated the thought of the community around the templating mechanism.
Can you define "real familial relations" purely by DNA? I don't think so, what about adoptions or surrogates?

This just seems like a policy that can be used to discriminate against people who don't fit a chosen definition of "family".
I would love an answer to this as well.
It appears that there is probably not any insider trading going on in this case. However, does anyone else have a thought of "what motivation does a multi billionaire have to insider trade?" when reading headlines like this? It's confusing why you would try to eek out that little bit of extra value, there is no incentive.

Very true. Network effect doesn't only have effects online. I've missed out on quite a bit of real life socialization (friends, community, and business) because I never signed up for Facebook and refuse to carry a cell phone.

At least in the last few years people are coming around on Facebook but I still get weird responses to not carrying a cell phone.

Yes, that.

I find it really... Wonderful how types and declarations are inferred from actual code using 'em.

OTOH, this is something I see a lot in Hindley-Milner typed languages, although they don't usually go too far here, i.e. it's not like OCaml or Haskell generates a type declaration for me.

The problem in the Netherlands is that you'll get attacked by government workers (kids' school, "buurt teams" (social workers), local taxes, garbage collection, ...) if they know (or it's somehow too obvious) that you have money.

And I'm not talking $100 million. I'm talking $200k or so. Total assets ignoring debt maybe $2M. Nothing spectacular.

Especially if you do this in the "wrong neighborhood". But of course, if there's some reason you have money, you might have picked your residence based on where your company has to be, to be close to your workshop and able to easily drive to various customers, and not on being in the neighborhood with the "correct" social status. (I live in an immigrant neighborhood because of it's location. Richer neighborhoods are generally in the center of cities and not very drive-able but my work requires a car. Also I vastly prefer a big house over rich neighbours)
Good to know that adoptions aren't "real." So if a kid's parent dies and they're living with an aunt, that's not "real" and the government is free to tear the child's remaining family away and replace it with rape and imprisonment.

Way to mitigate the issue. Damn the consequences.

Twitter is neither good, nor bad. It's a platform, and given its size, most of what happens on it is completely banal.

Twitter is also not a public utility, it's a private business whose owners have the right to manage it as they see fit, within the bounds of the law.

The problem here is that Twitter has become far more important as a nexus for political communication and news than it should be. But television is also an avenue to spread hate, fear and divide people. So are newspapers. So is radio and the telephone. Every form of mass communication carries that potential - plenty of riots have been started with just pamphlets and word of mouth. Twitter is just one site on the greater web, and the web magnifies the rate at which information of all kinds spreads. Get rid of Twitter, or censor it, and you don't actually change anything but the specific channels through which information flows.
What a ridiculous comment. In no way did I equate being a Nazi with being gay. I used an analogy to illustrate the scenario in a context that might aid people in understanding the nature of the events that took place. For you to draw equivalents to the people in the analogy can only be the result of willful ignorance, and not worth engaging further.

Also, the protected class of the people isn't a factor in this case (or the analogy), because, again, they were not refused service outright and the baker never discriminated against them based on their sexuality. The baker was asked create a custom cake depicting a ceremony that ran counter to his personal beliefs. The argument before the court was that forcing the baker to make this cake would force him to participate in a ceremony that ran counter to his beliefs.

> Waggoner (the attorney) said Phillips is willing to sell ready-made products to anyone who enters his store. But, "he simply declines to express messages or celebrate events that violate his deeply held beliefs," she said.

Moreover, the ACLU, which represented the couple, said it was pleased the court did not endorse a broad religion-based exemption from anti-discrimination laws, and stated ...

> "The court reversed the Masterpiece Cakeshop decision based on concerns unique to the case but reaffirmed its longstanding rule that states can prevent the harms of discrimination in the marketplace, including against LGBT people."

- Louise Melling, the ACLU's deputy legal director

So the analogy is very applicable. A Jewish baker should not be permitted to refuse service outright to a person just because that person holds beliefs that run counter to his own. But if the customer - a Nazi in this analogy - requests a custom-made cake depicting symbols or imagery that the baker finds offensive or runs counter to their beliefs, it seems fair to me (and SCOTUS and the ACLU) that he not be forced to make that cake.

If it makes you feel any better, you can extend the analogy to, let's say, a baker who just doesn't like public education and therefore refuses to make a custom cake with the logo of any public school, but still permits them to purchase any pre-made cake. The class, protected or otherwise, of the baker and customer simply don't play a role here.
I love to code, and do so not only at work but at home as well.

That said, I was unaware that there are people who feel pressure to code in their off-hours. That's silly. On your own time, you should do whatever helps you live a good life and be happier. If that includes programming, there's nothing wrong with that. If it doesn't, there's also nothing wrong with that.
That seems logical that such a thing would happen.

I think a true next gen language will have distribution-related concepts built-in. For instance, a strict monotonic subset that will make it infinitely scalable.

For problems that can't fit in this subset, it will need concepts for coordination and reasoning about the state/consistency of the systems involved.

Concurrency and mobility/distribution are the big problems that programming languages have yet to satisfactorily solve. We have data structures and limited models that help with these problems (eg. CRDTs), but it would be a huge productivity boost to put these abstractions right in the language so you can read, write and reason about programs more easily.

I have to strenously disagree on this point. In this case, the author won the Nobel Prize after fighting the establishment for 20 years over a basic idea- that a disease could be caused by misfolded proteins and that the proteins can themselves cause more proteins to misfold in a cascade- ultimately showing that his theories were correct.

When a person fights the establishment and shows their data and ultimately gets accepted and defines the new paradigm, they've earned a seat at the table to speculate on how things work. They proved their worthiness as an authority.

That doesn't mean we shouldn't evaluate on the merits, but the priors are very heavily in his favor.
You could modify your belief in his authority based on the fact that this result was presumably rejected by top-tier journals, and probably for non-trivial reasons. I don't know anything about the field so I can't say whether that's appropriate here. But if you're willing to grant credence based on a prior Nobel, you should be willing to consider taking some away based on the publishing journal's reputation. Why wouldn't a top-tier journal want to publish a Nobel winner's Alzheimer's breakthrough?
>Keeping people safe is the primary objective for a state

You seem to be confusing "keeping people safe" with "keeping people safe theater". Monitoring the radioactivity of European crops and livestock in 2019 is solidly in the latter category.

>not allowing private entities to extract the most possible profits while offloading the risks to the state.

This it as tangential to a discussion of nuclear safety compared to the safety of any other power source.

>We saw this in Japan, it is impossible for any private entity to shoulder the cost of an accident.

And this is different than a dam failure, or any other industrial accident of similar magnitude, in a similarly populated/developed location how?

A model of whatever process you think generated the data.

EDIT:

I guess I should say that the concept of testing a "null model" without interpreting the fit relative to other models is wrong to begin with. You need to use Bayes' rule and determine:

p(H[0]|D) = p(H[0])p(D|H[0])/sum(p(H[0:n])*p(D|H[0:n]))

Lots of stuff wrong with what has been standard stats for the last 70 years, it literally amounts to stringing together a bunch of fallacies and makes no sense at all.
Democrats aren’t in favor of open borders, but evidence-based border security. The president’s platform is attacking anyone who doesn’t want his proposed “solution” as dismissing border control and immigration reforms.

I wonder if the current political reputation of USA and Trump will play into Assange dodging extradition.
I think a major issue here is that, perhaps, there is a tendency to want to use statistics to decide what the 'truth' is, because it takes the onus of responsibility for making a mistake away from the interpreter. Its nice to be able to stand behind a p-value and not be accountable for whatever argument is being made. But the issue here, is that most any argument can be made in a large enough dataset, and a careful analyst will find significance.

This is of course the case only if one does not venture far from the principal assumptions of frequentism, most of which are routinely violated outside of almost every example except pure random number generation and fundamental quantum physics.

So a central issue that isn't addressed in STATS101 level hypothesis testing is the impact that the question has on the result. Its almost inevitable that people want to interpret a failure to reject as a positive result. But a p-value really doesn't tell you if its a useful result; but rather, your sample size is big enough to detect a difference.

Statistical significance is something that can be calculated. Practical significance is something that needs to be interpreted.

Again, it depends on the situation at hand. Though ketogenic diets are showing promise, it depends on the cancer, as such diets may aggravate the cancer. One should follow the advice of the oncologist/s as well as research on their own.
In my experience, this has been both an emergent behavior that has worked out well, and subsequently a culture/process that has been encouraged by management for new members (both remote and in-office) of the team.

There hasn't necessarily been a need to allocate more time for documentation, except for everyone getting in the habit of default communication modes being easily accessible documentation (common wiki/docs that all decisions, specs, and proposals go into) ... so it's not a "more time" thing, as much as it's a "don't send an email, but instead update the docs"
At this point, I believe the best outcome by far is if Assange is extradited to Sweden.
I’d have no problem with Assange being punished if the other journalists were, or if the government officials were.
Not in the sense of financial investment it's not, unless the defined return is actually bigger (in monetary terms) than the investment.

you're referring to something like a bond, that pays back more money than is invested.

Kickstarter does nothing of the kind. There you pay money in return someone gives you goods (virtual or physical) that's not an investment, it's a purchase.

It's not a possible scenario, since there are at least two reasons why a European Arrest Warrant couldn't be issued in those circumstances.

A language that doesn't encourage its users to re-invent wheels and to instead craft re-usable modules that work well across hardware and locality changes through solidly tested and reviewed foundations would help improve productivity while still being comprehensible to everyone. This is the power of runtimes like the JVM and BEAM but is not really integrated into any language particularly well IMO. I'm thinking of a language that integrates algorithm constraints beyond types into the runtime into something more like a meta-runtime that helps run functions run with the appropriate level of resourcing.

I'm just hoping that someone at compile time will be told "warning: function will take 2M cores to sort an arbitrary list within 20 ms"
For many proteins, the sequence encodes the fold (many small proteins refold spontaneously with just their amino acid sequence). That proteases or other activations may be required to functionalize the protein is irrelevant- the sequence in the DNA causes the protein to fold to its preprotein state reversibly.

"""A Facebook spokesperson said all of Zuckerberg’s trading in Facebook stock had been done through plans set up under Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 10b5-1. The rule allows company insiders to avoid insider trading allegations by establishing formal plans to sell a predetermined number of shares at a preset time."""

So you can follow the rules and have sales on a schedule and not be labeled "insider trading", but restrict disclosure of information that would affect the price prior to the scheduled sales. So there needs to be a mandatory disclosure deadline once something is discovered. I'm not familiar with the law here, but how is it changing? It seems hard to classify different events as worthy of mandatory public disclosure when they vary across industries.
The US military budget is consistently called out because the United States spends more on it than all other countries in the entire world, combined.
