busuu[1] have setup a network where users can send exercises to other members (native speakers of the language you are trying to speak) and they will correct and rate them. The network is very active, as soon as I submit my exercise, a couple of minutes later someone will have corrected it. (Premium plan though, I made a 3 months plan, hopefully it will be enough to get me on track).

I would suggest everyone to give busuu a try.

No, it is wrong or at least unsubstantiated. Why are the qualities listed the most important skills? When was the last time a tech interview focused on "grit", but totally ignored analytical thinking? If its ok to assume an employer will teach you algorithms, why not assume they will teach you to be more empathetic as well?
You're trying to reason about 'alien' intelligence in terms of human traits. What makes you think they are even interested in us at all? Maybe they just came here to re-up on potassium.
Honestly, Cloudflare choosing not to hastily slap a band-aid on a problem like this just makes me feel more compelled to continue using 1.1.1.1.

I hesitate to compare this to Apple calling themselves “courageous” when removing the headphone jack, but in this case, I think the word is appropriate. I’ll happily stand behind you guys if you take some PR hits while forcing the rest of the industry to make DNS safer – since it is understandable, admittedly, for users to conclude that “Cloudflare is blocking websites, sound the alarms!” at first glance.
Slower only because humans need more time to arrive at the same conclusions, and use more data points. Either one can be made true of computers too.

Under the law, overtime hours may not be counted as overtime until a calculation is done over the full reference period. But the article makes it seem like employers can get away with not paying the base wage for those extra hours until three years later. That is false.

The three year reference period also can only be used in a collective bargaining agreement. (Otherwise it’s four months.) So you’re not talking about an individual negotiating with the company under threat of losing her job. It’s the union negotiating with the employer. You’re saying even that isn’t enough—it’s slavery unless the law prevents the union from negotiating a higher reference period. That’s propaganda.

What is stopping govt/reps from fixing this? I don't think there is strong doctors lobby strong enough to oppose that.
@eastdakota what about just failing without response on archive.is calls so the second resolver address configured in the client will be used? I understand this is also a DNS integrity violation, however the result for the end user would be either the same if they don’t have a second resolver configured or enhanced if they do.

The current effect is I stop using 1.1.1.1 when I need archive.is (often) and set it back the next time I’m messing with my network settings.
Where does the article engage in hasty generalization?
> A few years back (2015 or so) the average time from push-to-repo to AWS account compromise was 6 minutes. Surely that time has only gone down, and the number of different credentials identified has gone up.

I don't doubt that a second and I'd like to use that as a quote. I'd like to be prepared if someone doubts it, so: Do you have a primary source for this?
This might be an unpopular opinion, but the most natural situation is periodic small fires that reduce the undergrowth and dead wood. There are even species which depend on these small fires for their lifecycles.
Forest managers are probably well schooled in this but unable to use it because people like living in the woods.

When humans interfere with this small-fire process, however, the fuel load increases until there's a massive correcting fire that takes everything standing including the canopy.
I am a self taught programmer but my mechanical engineering degree definitely helps me understanding a lot of math and just with the general approach to problem solving. The stuff I learned and had to understand in thermodynamics helps me with my programming. I wouldn't want to miss that.

However, I agree that employers should do much more on-the-job training. In my company there is almost no formal training for newcomers and it shows. A lot of guys get stuck at beginner level and never advance from there.

One thing I like to see in people now is that they have a wider look at the industry besides their direct work. I have a seen a ton of .NET devs who don't know what Haskell, Kotlin or Node is. I like people who read stuff like tech blogs to keep up to date.
This article brings to mind the movie "Good Will Hunting", specifically the mention of Srinivasa Ramanujan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Srinivasa_Ramanujan). I disagree that it's difficult to teach yourself mathemitcs. As with all things, success in self-directed teaching depends on the aptitude of the learner combined with their desire to learn.

Note, I would recommend against juggling a baby. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juggling

Also adults should never take out their own frustration/anger on a baby. That’s not what we are talking about here.

It’s not that easy to accidentally shake a baby too hard. Babies are quite robust, and new parents (that I have seen anyway) are almost all extremely cautious. But make sure the baby is fully supported; you don’t want their head flopping around.

Go watch the nurses/midwives/doctors in a maternity ward sometime and you will see them manhandling newborns in ways that make new parents nearby feel pretty anxious... but the babies are just fine.

My brother and sister get individual Japanese lessons from a UCSC professor for 60 minutes a week. They apparently progress faster than the actual Japanese class. (I believe a normal UCSC class has 3-4 hours / week of classroom time.)
The fallback should be to do GeoDNS based on the resolver's IP. In case of Cloudflare that's certainly good enough, since they've got 150+ POPs.
Because it's not an SSL certificate.
The qualities I listed are based on 20 years of hiring and work experience in the tech industry. I encourage competitors to continue to demand algorithm competency and other domain specific knowledge easily referenced. Send the smart, hard working, decent people who need to be taught my way so I may level them up.
Those can all be taught as well.
What's wrong with targeting equal disposable incomes (after covering essentials like housing/schools/childcare etc)?

I see this in my field where I work remote and most people in my field work in NYC or London. My gross income is way lower than my former classmates who settled in NYC. However I have a bigger house, equally good school and childcare for 1/10th the annual cost etc. Don't see why I should get a salary that reflects the massively inflated cost of living in a city that I don't live in. Instead I think it should be about targeting a quality of life commensurate with the contribution made & scarceness of the skillset. The cost of providing that quality of life will vary dramatically between someone living in a rural area vs San Francisco and so should the pay imo.
What are you looking to do that can't be done with local chrome/firefox extensions?
Why not? Probability + threshold/activation function in neural nets is basically modeling that.
There are already services renting goats: https://rentagoat.com
This can happen. But there's no guarantee for the company, that's the "problem". Maybe we should have a "training pipeline" where, then, you must stay in the company at least X years or you need to "pay back" what you received (something similar happens in the military, I think)
Oracle is not letting them test builds with the Technology Compatibility Kit (TCK https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology_Compatibility_Kit), which under Sun probably killed the Apache Harmony project. There are alternatives like Amazon's Corretto and Azul's Zulu.
I mean, horseshit. This guy says he would have made $1.1 million in sales. You know, I would have made $1.1 billion in sales. Start crying for all of that frightening lost economic growth!

This is the standard claptrap we always here when there is a tight labor market and rising wages. Oh no, capitalists have to compete for workers! They might have to give them higher wages and better benefits in order to retain them! They might have to have an actually productive, profitable business to stay afloat. Oh noooo!

Migration greatly helps the people who migrate, more than other forms of foreign aid. It also helps their relatives back home due to remittances. It also increases demand for services in the country they move to (not just supply of workers).

More people means more customers. There are certainly places with the problems that come from over-crowding, but places that lose population tend not to be doing too well economically.

The question is whether and how to take all this into account in your cost-benefit calculation. It doesn't seem at all obvious to me, without actually doing the math. And certainly you can't trust the judgement of random people who don't know much about what's going on outside of their everyday lives (which is most of us).

Conclusion: this stuff is complicated. Simple answers aren't to be trusted.
Seems like rampant vote manipulation is going on here to promote anti-Sinoism.

I recently had a wildfire close to home, and had airplanes flying at very low altitude. The sight of the belly of those airplanes flying the whole day on top of my home along with the noise was spectacular so I thought I might capture a snap to share with my remote coworkers. The result was not even mediocre; my phone captured a tiny insignificant object in the sky, not that awe inspiring machine that I just felt grazed my head IRL

your comment is back in the black now, so I'd say generally don't worry about these things. A lot of people reflexively downvote stuff, but in many cases this is correct within 12h or so. That's been my experience most of the time, at least.

Complaining about it is often brutally punished by more downvotes though, so beware!

Then he would have published on PLoS instead of getting 300 paper rejections. The cream rises to the top. It's bureaucracy that artificially stops it. Genius happens in spite of it, not because of it.
If you’re a self taught programmer, would you not have self taught yourself the necessary math? You’re auto didactic (You needed to learn how to program, and you found the necessary resources to teach you what you needed to know), and it sounds like you have the ability to identify your education gaps and fill them when necessary; a valuable skill in itself.

I agree less capable people will need more hand holding, and that processes must be improved for “sorting hat” the student pipeline.

I think you're doing it wrong. I don't work this way.

If it's a low level job, I'll find a way to automate it. I want all my coworkers to grow to a good level.

At my company, we do train newcomers and young people, and we then hope they stay. But it's an investment that doesn't pay off every time. Other companies just hire experienced developers, by paying more than us... but they don't have a training pipeline. And we can't pay more (we're a small company) because we already spend a lot in training... sob.
One objection might be that a church is probably supposed to be a different kind of architecture from everything else; and the modern glass roof is something we see a lot nowadays in buildings with different purposes.

Also keep in mind this conspiracy theory is often followed by goalpost-changing along the lines of "well, obviously I didn't mean that they're all actually in a conspiracy, it's because they've been influence by [other conspiracy]", generally leading either to an infinite regress of adjusted claims, or talk about cultural Marxism claptrap and claims about how the Frankfurt School academics somehow nefariously orchestrated the next hundred years of global social change in the 1930s.

Three Decades of School Shootings: An Analysis
This seems to be how hiring works in my experience. And today, there's many more roles one can apply too, and different level of schooling one can get. For example, you have System Engineer roles, or Web Dev, or QA Engineer, etc. You've got a lot of bootcamp education options to teach these as well. And if you look at the hiring process, it's all skill based, how good is your knowledge of data structures, algorithms, system design, frameworks, and programming languages. Experience, resume and portfolio is almost completely overlooked, at least beyond the initial HR screen.

>What isn't needed is personal speculation about how a cheap laptop would suffice

Sure it is. He stated he was going to use the proceeds to buy a laptop to work on this project. A $5,000 dollar laptop is above and beyond what is required to work on this project. There certainly is reason to question this.

>or how taxes can't be that high

It wasn't "that high", it was "most of it." If someone told me they received $30,000 in donations, but $15,000.01 or more went to taxes, I'd be asking questions.

>or how much documentation should cost

$28,000 to write documentation for the next version of this library. No, it should NOT cost that much for the amount of work and resources necessary to complete this particular task.

None of this is reaching; these are very necessary and prudent concerns.
I'll need to find the talk I lifted it from. Not easy... but looks like downthread a sibling comment gives a relatively decent update about the current speed of compromise.

This appears to play a large role in the issue of job training nowadays, and it's almost certainly related to college degrees as a screening tool.

There is also a CYA component here. If a hiring manager takes a risk on an applicant with no degree and it doesn't work out, the hiring manager will take the blame for choosing an "underqualified" applicant.
>Let's say that a popular politician believes that vaccines cause autism. In order to be impartial, does the news outlet now have to give equal weight to people who believe in a lie?

The political matters news outlets cover are not confined to scientific issues (like vaccines) that can be settled by some expert consensus. They can dismiss such claims easily, and those are not the point anyway.

Nor are most political issues as clear cut as putting minorities in "concentration camps" -- that's a contrived example, making sound like anything not approved by the Guardian amounts to Hitler (or, in this case, Chinese state oppression -- though even this story might have more nuance than what we're getting).

The most important political issues cannot be classified as "a lie", they are just different ways of thinking of what's good, beneficial, important short or long term, etc. And of course, different interests, to different segments of the population, or to different countries, cultures, etc.

Examples? The arguments pro or against social democracy or liberalism. The arguments pro or against immigration. Or pro or against EU governance. Or pro or against certain fiscal policies. Or pro or against surveillance. Or pro or against privacy. Or pro or against this or that war or intervention or enemy du jour. Or pro or against this or that technology. Or pro or against this or that education reform. Or pro or against Assange. And so on...

Yet those nuanced things are still presented as one side is the "good side" and the other is either evil or deluded or a liar.
Hey, I'm from Toronto and I also hate the ROM's redesign. For one, it looks like sci-fi fungal growth, whereas the the Notre Dame glass design works in concert with the original. Second, the ROM's redesign somehow failed to take into account Toronto's weather. Icicles form along the exterior edges, often directly above the path into the ROM. Areas are sectioned off as "dangerous to walk under". Poor planning!
> A bipolar diagnosis can explain toxic behaviour, but it does not excuse it.

Context aside, this is a good maxim and a good thing to keep in mind when dealing with others.

Moreover, I would argue that it’s not just about dealing with mental illness, but about dealing with people in general - it encapsulates the concept of empathy as it applies to interpersonal relations. You can attempt to analyze the motivations for someone’s behavior without implicitly applying a judgement to them, for the purpose of being able to more effectively work with them in the future toward mutual beneficial goals.
So you originally listed "grit, determination, and empathy". Now you add "smart, hard working, decent". See my point?
Nauta and poeta are both members of a small set of profession words which are masculine despite being in the first declension (-a) in Latin. My textbook provided a comprehensive (again, small) list and just suggested they should all be memorized; the only other one I remember now is agricola, farmer.

Manus, hand, is one of an even smaller set of feminine fourth declension nouns. I believe this oddity has also been preserved in Spanish as "la mano".

This makes me wonder whether the Spanish words for trees tend to be feminine while having masculine-looking forms; that is regular in Latin.
I wondered about the asterisks on the 'vivo' and 'OPPO' brands, and looked up the second name - turns out both (and OnePlus) are owned by the same company: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBK_Electronics

So, going by the shown IDC numbers, that company has shipped over 46 million phones in 1Q19, getting about 15% market share and third place behind Samsung and Huawei.
