For the people who don’t believe this is the case (and downvoted you), just lurk over at r/cscareerquestions on Reddit.

Personally I would die a million deaths working at a large tech company or living on the west coast. I worked at one F10 (at the time) non tech company for two years and said never again.

I guess I would make an exception if I could get in on the in house consultancy side for AWS/Azure/GCP just for enough years to make some money. Especially since they hire in many major cities - I don’t want the travel requirements right now.
HAL, earlier in the thread:

> Unfortunately, users have a strong privacy expectation that random websites will not be notified that you are interested in them until you actually click the link in search results (or news, or whatever). For precaching to work without violating user privacy, the data needs to be loaded from some server that already knows that the link was shown to you, so there is no privacy violation from giving it that information. AMP's solution is for the host company of the results page to fill that role.
Preloading is downloading data that you didn't actively request. It's a tradeoff between data usage vs latency so those users on limited connections might end up paying more in data vs saving a few seconds in load time.
A brand new design would probably introduce more serious flaws than an interation of a mature design, so I am not sure it would be safer.

In term of public perception, it is a PR disaster but not unprecedented. The DC-10 went through a similar rocky start where passengers just wouldn't want to board it. But after the flaws were fixed it turned out to be quite reliable.
Helium is really hard to store for long periods due to the molecule size. It will permeate almost all containers pretty rapidly.
It is possible to tackle more than one issue at a time. Also realize that noise is often a measure of inefficiency - for instance, one of the ways to make trains quieter is to keep wheels and rails smooth. That has the added benefit of extending the life of wheels and rails.
I'm not sure what is so wrong with politely telling someone that you want to have sex with her or him. I mean I want many things but that doesn't mean I'll get them.

I don't quite understand what you're implying. Using the blackboard is a richer (more "multimedia", more "live") way to teach than just a plain lecture/presentation, right? Is it your experience that students phase out during such sections? Because my experience is quite the contrary.
Are you actually in doubt that the star in question is Vega, or do you believe that the author knows what they're talking about but just think it would be an amusing thing to start an argument over? I'm hoping it's the former.

I think the point if the OP isn't that a new design would have the same flaw, but rather that it would possibly introduce many other flaws. I think the analogy to a full software rewrite vs fixing a bug in a battle tested software is relevant.

BiC bewilders me. Apparently they are a company with €2B in revenue, that's been around since 1945, but all I know of them firsthand is they somehow survive making the worst disposable pens and razors in the world. The pens leak catastrophically long before the ink runs out, and the razors cut your face up.
I absolutely absolutely know what you mean. With my twin that has schizophrenia, there are entire months where I'm convinced he's never coming back. That he's permanently gone this time. Then when I give up, there will be just one exclusive random day where he'll be a normal functioning person.

It sounds harsh, but when he's in that illness 'phase', the person seems more like a demon-possessed creature and not even like much of a person. When you hear the things and intonations that the person will say in conversations to themselves in particular.. that's what sounds the least person-like.
Out of curiosity, did you go to Iowa State? I helped run the study, and there were very good results.

Unfortunately we ran into some mistakes in the communication between DARPA and the university which cut things the project short.

We were also working on mobile identification which included the timing between letter combinations (2-grams if memory serves right) as well as accelerometer data.

Counterpoint: When I was in my 20s, I was given career advice from an executive at Sears who had been in the workforce for 30-40+ years. He’d never touched a computer (this was in the early 2000s) and he recommended I check the want ads in the Wall Street Journal to find a job.
Again, not the point of the discussion. MRI was a simple example of how we use helium today. I could have easily said party balloons. It would help any conversation you have in general to avoid nitpicking on insignificant items and keep the discussion on the main point (which, if I have to spell it out, is the quantity of helium required to do various things)

I do understand that when helium is depleted we will probably find other ways to accomplish things, but it’s still silly to be venting a gas that we KNOW has a finite amount over the lifetime of the Earth or using it for party balloons.

The helium shortage is a production problem.

At the current usage rate its estimated we have a 200 year supply left.
I’m not an expert, but the 757 was a larger and heavier plane which changes the economics a lot. It also stopped production over a decade ago so restarting production would’ve been a challenge. On top of that as you said airlines wanted to maintain the 737 type rating so pilots didn’t need retraining.

The 797/NMA program Boeing is proposing is a replacement for the aging 757 and 767 fleets.

You're the one who got to cherry pick the script to use as an example, so don't complain that I cherry picked the most ridiculous line of that code.

Python can generate a human readable help menu with much less trouble.

Tell me one thing about that script that's easier in bash than in Python.

Forking off sed? Python doesn't need to, it has string manipulation. Forking off bc? Python doesn't need to, it has arithmetic.

And why are you using sed regular expressions just to do arithmetic? Now you have two problems!

https://blog.codinghorror.com/regular-expressions-now-you-ha...

Again, look at the Linux kernel and userland source code and give me a ballpark estimate of how many instructions it requires to multiply a number by 100 by forking off bc or sed, instead of executing a single "mul" instruction.

And Python code doesn't require a page of comments to explain why it has to go to so much effort and work around so many pitfalls just to convert a couple of strings to decimal hours.

Why, Python even has named function parameters -- now THAT is TRULY "amazing".

And in the number of keystrokes it took you to write the following comments (and the number of trials and errors it took you to finally get it right), you could have imported a hell of a lot of powerful Python modules, and read a lot of the interactive built-in help documentation about their APIs.

Your time would be much better spent getting used to using Python rather than sed.

to_decimal_hours () {
local hours="${1}"
local minutes="${2}"

# [h: ] uses the "h", ":" or " " character as a split delimiter.
#
# If the first split argument ends with "m", then we're not dealing with
# hours at all, only minutes, so now $1 becomes minutes and we divide by
# 60 because you can't have more than 60 minutes in 1 hour.
#
# Otherwise, we have both hours ($1) and minutes ($2). The hours can be
# taken as is, and like before the minutes get divided by 60.
#
# It's also important to send both the hours and minutes in without a
# space as input, otherwise values like "30m" will end up being "30m "
# which makes $1 no longer end with an "m" and it will incorrectly report
# back 30.00 instead of 0.5.
#
# awk will automatically remove the "h" and "m" characters when it comes
# time to do the addition.
#
# Yep, awk is amazing. I'm just getting used to using it!
awk -F '[h: ]' '{ if ($1 ~ /m$/) printf("%.2f\n", ($1 / 60));
else printf("%.2f\n", $1 + ($2 / 60)) }' <<< "${hours}${minutes}"
}
Just putting the safety record into context.

Actually, I think if the planes can be fixed (and I'd be shocked if they couldn't), the two crashes before the fix will no longer be relevant for assessing safety.

Thanks. The sample size was limited for memory restrictions. I obtained similar results in eigenvalues for different random selections of 500 images, but no doubt a covariance matrix based on more images might tell us more.
The fix taking a while to get right is not evidence for "fundamentally flawed".

You have a strange idea about how to assess risk. It's like faults are somehow contagious.
This. And that’s always what these criticisms miss. Science’s strength is that any one individual or even groups of individuals can be bias. That bias might persist (theories of static universe, vitalism, etc etc) for a long time within the scientific community.

But science is the only method that eventually will rut out the biases. It’s self correcting, but you need to look at it from the long view.

> One thing about helium: once its released to the atmosphere its gone forever. Because it is so light it not only heads upwards, the velocity of the atoms is high enough that some exceed the Earth's escape velocity and don't come down.

I'm all for preserving helium, but sensationalist BS doesn't help.

> On the surface of the Earth, the escape velocity is about 11.2 km/s

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_velocity

The thermal velocity (at room temperature) of He is 1.245 km/s

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_velocity

There is no way that Helium reaches escape velocity without some sort of mechanical assistance.

I've heard it theorized that Helium, because it is prone to float at the outer edges of the atmosphere, is particularly susceptible to being stripped away by solar winds. I don't have sufficient expertise to evaluate this claim, but it seems at least plausible. This can't be happening very much, though, or our atmosphere would much more closely resemble that of Mars, which lacks a protective magnetosphere.
The generational hypothesis works best when most memory allocations over time are rooted by call stacks that sooner or later return to a core loop. Start rooting things in long-lived stack frames, or in static things like a cache, and things get worse.

Whether the language uses value types or heap allocated types changes the constant factor, but the core hypothesis isn't affected - you can't allocate everything on the stack. Memory copying costs start overtaking GC overhead if you try too hard.
Perhaps overly impersonal, but I think of it as an investment profile: you need diversity.

Well, it’s a spectrum. Microwaves < Game consoles < iPhones < laptops/desktops.

I sometimes wonder about the psychology of people who try this sort of money-making venture, ie smuggling vast quantities of illegal drugs across the ocean.

Do these “entrepreneurs” understand the risk they take, or do they pretend to themselves that there is no risk? Excepting where there is coercion, is it big balls or small brains?

I’d love to hear from a smuggler to hear how they manage psychologically the huge downside risk of being caught. Do you have to be a neurological outlier to undertake this sort of project?
I’m much better at advising people who have been in the industry for 8+ years who want to stay active, hands on developers about how not to get stuck in “expert beginner” mode (been there done that), how to stay relevant, and how to exercise “soft power” without going into management.

Tried to use Apple's email client on a friend's phone to send and email to myself and 1 other person. I entered both emails with a space between them and it didn't handle it considering it a single email address. Tried to go back to add a comma between them and I could no longer select the space. Finially added a comma and the client didn't recognize it as a delimiter. In the end I deleted the addresses and started again finially figuring out what it wanted. Generally I'm confused by Apple's great reputation for design.

The back button being furthest place away from the thumb on the iPhone was another thing that never made sense. I think ppl just get used to it but a lot of the good design is really good marketing.
The pitch accent ShinTakuya mentioned is actually a huge part of why attaining a native-like Japanese accent is so hard. It's more than just individual words having an accent that can affect the meaning of the word.

There are rules for the pitch accent of conjugations of verbs and adjectives, rules for compound words, suffixes, prefixes and even a combined sentence level accent that changes depending on the accent of the word contained within that sentence.

And to wrap it up, there's exceptions to most of these rules. Not to mention that names of places and people have their own accent that, while one can gain an intuition for over time, are still something to be aware of.

Edit: There's also the fact that English doesn't have a pitch accent system, so it's harder for English speakers to acquire an unconscious understanding and production of the correct pitch accent than it would be for someone whose first language is Chinese. While Chinese's tones aren't as complicated as Japanese's pitch accent, the fact that Chinese speakers have to pay attention to the relative pitch of a phoneme gives them an advantage when listening to words in Japanese as they will be unconsciously aware that the pitch of a word is important and most likely reproduce it correctly without conscious effort.
how could u do it? from my understanding of pcsk12 its a bundle of multiple certificates.
I think that society probably has the right to enforce basic social norms so I think it is reasonable to for society to intervene if someone is being threatening or violating basic norms (e.g. by defecating in the middle of the sidewalk). Both of which are common in the Tenderloin.

The problem that I see is: what options are available other than violating their freedom by forcing them to undergo treatment or locking them up? You can't, for example, fine someone who doesn't have anything. Besides, I think its unlikely that punishment would accomplish anything

So I guess I'm not sure I see a good solution to the problem.

> a teacher can see that a class "gets it" and they can move on

Wow, I don't think I ever had a teacher who did this; definitely not in University. My experience is that lecturers are mostly oblivious and indifferent to student understanding. And most students, in my experience (self included), generally care more about getting "through" the lecture rather than "getting it". And I personally, similar to the OP, believe that real understanding of a lecture can usually only arise following active engagement after the lecture.

Reading it I can't really sympathize with the author too much. Having affairs doesn't speak much to her character. Neither does staying home and pretending to be on Skype.

Because of that I'm somewhat skeptical of some of her claims. For example:

>The people I worked with were extremely closed minded. Most of them with many years of experience working in a corporation, so even more closed minded, only caring about their manager’s approval.

If these co-workers or managers could share their side, what would they say? Your manager is the one giving your performance reviews, bonuses, promotions, etc. If you worked hard to deliver good results, could that be interpreted as "sucking up to your boss?"
