My previous company issued the Wondelic Test (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wonderlic_test) for everyone. I don't know the details but there was a minimum for different positions. There was also a personality portion and they were looking mostly for "A" type personalities, and a small subset of others. I don't have the "A" type personality, but I'd like to think the IQ portion made up for it LOL.

Legality...not sure.
Manually, or automatically?
This is true of every BigCorp I've been at. An IT department will be carefully evaluating some extremely expensive class of enterprise software. A business department will randomly purchase one of those options at random, without consulting IT, just because a software vendor mentioned it in a passing.
An entire room of tapes and a robot for a max capacity of 15.4 Tb, according to this: https://www.cbronline.com/news/ibm_tape_library_dataserver

Upgrading to modern 20 Tb tapes would put it at 378 Pb.

So much waste - I'm not saying he didn't earn his money but how is it possible for a company to run cash positive when it wastes like that?
one of the bad reasons for bad hiring practices I've seen is that hiring managers throw engineers into interviewing situations a bit too unprepared, often times with very little interview training/experience.

There needs to be a interview training/mentoring period where you have engineers sit in on interviews to learn how and what questions to ask but without actually having veto/accept power. this allows them to get experience without screwing up the whole interview process.

Most inexperience engineer interviewers think you get the best candidates by having the highest reject rate, and that's simply not true. Only interviewing experience and training can improve this.
The existing CT logs are (almost all) each run by individual companies.

Be on a project where you billed over a 100 hours for some aspect of it that they decide to cancel. It is amazing how group decisions can blow so much.

Now, I do not mean experiments and throwing the artifacts of that experimenting. That makes perfect sense. Its when they have a need for something that is part of their current business and they just don't execute properly to the point of cancellation.

Is this issue applicable to Feitian MultiPass key[0]? As far as I can tell, Google rebranded them as Titan Key. Ones with the Feitian's labels were handed out by Google to activists at various conferences. I assume there's no way they'll be replacing those (since they were handed out for free), but it would be nice to know if they're affected or not.

I get 8ms RTT to servers in my city on a normal cable modem today. People in major cities have nearly LAN-quality latency within ~500 miles.

Packet loss is extremely low, which is easy to tell using a builtin netgraph.

Screen buffering should be reduced as much as possible and vsync is not something competitive players would ever want. Pros all disabled it in Quake Live for sure.

Players on modern connections that are playing on servers in their city do not need CSP.

In practice it's not that bad to have CSP if it's not really doing much (due to all players being low latency) but I know from playing NetQuake vs Quake Live with low latency that it's nicer not to have it at all.
sure, I know fast Fourier transform and reinforcement learning use dynamic programming. but those don't represent most people's daily work. checking http://oj.leetcode.com/problems/ , you will see that the problem selection is very biased and academic focused.

it's like recruiting warriors based on gymnastics skills. I think it makes more sense to look for street fighters.
I've performed close to 400 screening interviews now for a range of companies. There's a good chunk of people that struggle to write a solution that correctly compiled to an "aggregate this data" style problem. People with the "correct" CV that have made it through the HR filter. It's a real problem.

It was my impression that that's what he did. Of course the whole situation still could've made it difficult to get paid, but I don't think there's anything else he could've done.
I’d rather employ people to sit around (or not) and study/do whatever productive thing they want than enforce otherwise not needed work.
This is probably smart strategy for Microsoft: If they can make search into a generic commodity, it cuts the legs out from under Google.
80% of Americans live in cities. That means if they all moved to rural areas, the population density of rural areas would go up 5X. Would they still be rural then?
It sounds believable to me. I've had some interactions with big companies and you have to readjust what you think is a reasonable price for something.

I work with hardware and you'd be amazed how much people will spend without batting an eyelid (eg tens of thousands on a single instrument). In some cases they'll even remark at how inexpensive what you've offered is.

For example, the thermal cameras I work with are now consumer available for $5k. A decade ago you'd easily spend an order of magnitude more for the same sort of performance. And companies would happily fork out for it.

Bear in mind this company just lost a developer. The overheads for that member of staff alone, for two months, probably exceed $20k in the US.
Of course! Coming from someone who's tried (and failed) to learn a bit of Mandarin, even the spoken language was quite tough. Chinese/Japanese/Korean -> English/Romance languages is quite a tough lingual gap to bridge, and you should be proud of yourself for achieving fluency!
I'll second Simplicity and add in that ClickHouse is also faster on less hardware and more stable compared to our current Druid configuration.

My company currently uses Druid and has for a few years now, but I have been evaluating ClickHouse on the side as a possible replacement, and as a testament to its simplicity, I was able to stand it up and get in going as a PoC pretty quick/easily.

So far I have only found good things about ClickHouse, maybe the only ClickHouse downside has been the management of the cluster and data, but I haven't gotten too far into operationalizing ClickHouse to know how much those kind of items will cost.

Perhaps the other thing is the documentation, while reasonably good imo, still doesn't explain everything as well as I'd like. It was good enough, but I definitely had to experiment on a couple items to get them working as needed.
This is how corporate works. They have budgets for things. The money doesn't come out of the pocket of the person who cuts the cheque. You send in an invoice and it gets paid. If it doesn't, the company is insolvent or they are at risk to lawsuits which will cost them more than your paltry $18000. But they don't even think about the lawsuit part. Bill comes in, cheque goes out.
People think government is wasteful, but in my experience big corporations are an order of magnitude worse.
Honestly, it's not clear to me that most "pro-market" advocates even understand markets. They work best when purchasers have many options, clear information, easy switching, and equal power to sellers. But at least in the US, most of the "pro-market" voices in practice seem to be in favor of oligopoly and the absolute right of businesses to exploit information, wealth, and power asymmetries.

It makes me a bit bonkers, because well-designed markets can do an amazing job solving optimization problems.
You should try working in an investment bank as a contractor. You need to find the right team, but a lot of them are massive collections of people doing virtually nothing but getting paid great daily rates. The trick is to look busy and wrap your team/yourself in a perceived sense of enigma and complexity. If you play your cards right, you can end up in a situation where no one will ask questions as long as you fire off an email now and again. You can keep getting paid for doing almost nothing for years.
Not at all. When all channels are owned and operated by private companies, then it is _clearly_ not government censorship.
Twitter mostly proves that a lot of people are not happy unless they're outraged.
Well, async I/O is important to get early. Otherwise we're going to have an entire ecosystem of synchronous networking code, and there's no going back from that. You can look at languages like Ruby for what happens if you don't get an async I/O story before the package ecosystem develops.

>It depends if you think ~12% is 'a few percent' or not.

I find that people have no consistency in such matters. What counts as enough of a difference to care about seems to change upon the issue and just so happens to generally align with an individual's view of if an issue is worth worrying about or not.
> The government can literally force healthcare providers to accept prices if it's the only payer.

In the short term, perhaps. Long-term, though, the government can't force anyone to provide healthcare; they can only prohibit charging more for it than their chosen price ceiling. If that ceiling isn't high enough to make providing healthcare a worthwhile occupation the inevitable result is shortages, rationing, waiting lists, and—ultimately—people going without health care they could otherwise afford, were anyone allowed to provide it at the market-clearing price.
Large companies operate on a completely different scale of money. If this was a page for a product that's going to make a million dollars, this expense was still a rounding error.
My MBP (2016 model, touchbar, macOS Mojave) kernel-panics every time the battery runs out, while attempting to wake up after I plug it in. I frequently work away from my desk and have symptoms of ADHD (inattentive variety) so this actually happens at least 3 times a week.

The MBP I had previously (same model, exchanged out due to keyboard keys sticking) did the same thing.
Maybe they can just ban the people they dont agree with...
I did make it very clear twice I am just imagining, and have no ground truth. It does appear to have struck a nerve - it is not an uncommon scenario in this industry. Like I said, I don't know if that's what is actually happening at apple.

You know, life doesn't have to be an ideological death march. Let's focus on moral improvement instead of moral purity. Large scale incrementalism has wrought massive positive change for humanity. Whereas the large scale pursuit of purity brought about the disasters of the 20th century.

The bring up a different discussion about highend and impractical highend. Swaros cheaper models are practical. They're well built, they're expesnive but not outrageous. They're REAL products.

There are high-highend products that AREN'T REAL. Things that come out of shops that sell 100 all year, things that can't be used like normal products. Etc.

In this case, Miyauchi Binos or something like that. It's a bad descriptiong I made because you have have practical highend and impractical in the same brand.

Maybe a good test is if you can buy them at typical store vs only a specialty store. My local sporting goods store has Swarovski optics, but they top out at $2,000 because nothing higher would sell - after that you are in the point of diminishing returns anyhow.
This is why you ping restrict servers. There's no way to make a game competitive when one player has 10ms ping and another has 100ms (10x higher!) ping. It's just bad for everyone.

Which is exactly what competitive Quake Live players do and I suspect CS players probably do. Every player has 15-40ms ping and it's amazing.
VS Code is Electron-based, but not Atom-based, thankfully.
Sure, you can blame them all you want, however blaming won't change anything.

As long as consumers remain gullible -- as evidenced by even the otherwise intelligent folks here defending plant-based food (highly processed to boot) and casually demonizing meat -- so will continue them being taken advantage of by all sorts of groups.
Pfft that's nothing. We just had a contractor charge us $50k to setup a simple HTTP proxy. I looked at the code; it's a .NET starter app with our endpoints in it that route to other endpoints. $50k and it probably took them 2 hours, which was probably mostly just packages downloading.
Right here! PHP and JS/TS is what I do every day.

PHP has its tentacles all over the web: WordPress and Drupal are immensely popular for simplistic sites and short-lived promotionals, Magento and WooCommerce attract many e-commerce users, and Symfony/Laravel handle the custom stuff. I've worked with all of these and have the scars to show for it.

All popular projects have swarms of consultants offering advice, prebuilt additions, and custom development. (E.g. WordPress plugins and themes are everywhere.) This is also a significant factor for the penny-pinching customer — from their point of view, they avoid vendor lock-in and expensive development this way. (Spoiler: it rarely works out, in the end. "Tower of Babylon" and "shallow learning curve" mix in very exciting ways.) So there are masses of people who know the basics of PHP and call themselves "PHP developers". In my opinion, just a fraction of them actually deserves that title.
That is interesting. Where can I read more about price shocks and their influence on economy?
Someone commented a good point, you could just export your unsubscribe email addresses and then delete them out, that's arguably a good practice.
During the early days of "intranets", I worked at a very large company akin to a government organization. I thought we could save paper by putting our reports on the intranet instead of printing it out. There was one particularly important report that had needed to be printed every week, and it seemed like a good candidate.

I called the person who needed the report, but they said they didn't need it, and passed me to the person who requested it from them. I called the next person, and they passed me onto another person. I followed this about 5 people deep until I found one person who told me that they didn't need that report at all.

I left that company within 2 months of joining.
Interesting analogy, performance wise PHP has made impressive progress. On par with node and the JVM. But Java code specifically is just so bloated. And then there is the worker-per-request model in PHP - All resources isolated to a worker and cleanup on exit. This avoids global garbage collection freezes by design. Something you would get otherwise only from Elixir/Erlang natively. Compared to the JVM that allows PHP applications to scale vertically to any amount of RAM/CPU, and horizontally to any amount of machines. If you let me free choices I'll do Elixir all day long. But pressed on Java vs. PHP for a web app it's PHP for sure.

I know someone working as a contractor for a big company.

1 year contract.

6 months have gone by and they've done ... nothing. Their boss keeps saying "Don't worry we'll get to you, we're just swamped right now, you're good."

They're already talking about extending the contract.
Adobe Illustrator CS6 2019 Keygen with Working Crack File
Man I thought I was doing good at $1k.
I subscribed to it for a year or two ages ago because there was some deal and I think it came with an audio calibration disk or something like that.

I think it was around the time people were arguing about using a green felttip on CDs. Yes, it was quite a window into the high-end audio mindset--something I can't begin to appreciate even when there are legitimate differences between gear (which, of course, there often isn't with high-end audio).
Within a US city or state it's very rare to have much packet loss at all. It's very easy to spot using the builtin netgraph in Quake Live and other games.

Players that are separated by thousands of miles should not be playing competitive FPS games together. It's physically impossible to make it a consistently good experience.

I thought I was hot shit for having 10k rpm Seagate Cheetah SCSI drives, Ultra 2 Wide, with 5ms seek times. 9gb was enough for anybody back then.
I don't disagree, but it's worth noting that at the end of it all, he billed them for $18k and they decided it was too little.
The "generalizing" process is called idealization. Whenever Turing machines are mentioned, it's an idealized version of a machine that is being referred to.

Every finite physical machine is limited in different way, so it doesn't make much sense to try to lump them together. Whereas every Turing-complete machine is equivalent.
They could create a premium, telemetry-free version of LTSB/LTSC for the several hundred million Windows 7 users who are waiting for the market to provide an upgrade path which supports modern hardware.
You’re probably being tricked by “health washing” at the grocery store
Yeah this happens more than you’d expect! Never had it myself but I’ve worked st places where it’s happened to colleagues (usually assigned unimportant BAU work than actually doing nothing but I do know of people who’ve basically had nothing to do!)
IMHO, not really. I just have a low tolerance for woo and bullshit - western, or eastern bullshit.

Fwiw, I'm not western in origin, and have spend much of my life in non-western countries. I'm not sure what you are referring to in terms 'western' vs 'eastern' philosophy, but I'm not ignorant of the various perspectives brought forward by Suffism, Jainism, Sikism, the various forms Buddhism.

If anything, the commonality of bigotry and human nature that I've witnessed living in multiple places around the globe is what makes me uncomfortable with religion. I'm not comfortable with people playing pretend. It does too much damage.
If they can capture $1mm revenue from the website, then the $21k they paid for it is a great investment.
You would think that. But there's that saying about how "the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent." It's true.

I've seen many places sit on job reqs for a year or two after I applied and would have done quite well. Sure, I may have needed to study a week or two. Then they'd have a solution ~11 months earlier.
Yes, the OP said explicitly that he decided to use unsafe to deal with these cases.

>I decided this time I should just ignore all the dislike of `unsafe` and just use it as much as I need to. I think I was making life more difficult on myself by trying to avoid it so much, but when you have a lot of pointers that have multiple refereces between then, you kind of have to. Doulble linked and mutually linked structures - where any pointer chance can lead to a mutation - are Rust's achillies heel.

Sriram_malhar pointed out that doubly linked lists are usually not a good data structure to use anyway. I was pointing out that there are lots of more useful data structures that raise similar issues in Rust.

I don't think that using unsafe is "fine", necessarily. It is much better to implement a data structure on top of safe Rust if at all possible.
The federal coal leasing program has been a frequent target for overpricing coal with some estimates at around a billion a year in benefit. There's also things like opening new areas for drilling in areas that are only profitable when subsidized (and then the subsidies come in), which is not a normal tax policy arrangement, at least not the kind your hairdresser has with the federal government.
When Physicists Go Bad
Yesterday, driving back to work from my lunch break, I thought to myself "What was that old site with the acronym? ytm-something? You're the man now dog? What the hell was that site?"

I was never a user, don't enjoy memes at all, but for some reason they were in my head yesterday.
Mindboggling.

I bought a 512MB Samsung MicroSD when eBay was flooded with them (after Christmas) after they got bundled with Samsung S9 phones. Paid less than $100. It's still rather empty.

On the other hand, if you record 3D 360° video with a Vuze camera at 200MBit/s it's full after less than 6 hours.
The Github README has some good examples too: https://github.com/yuanming-hu/taichi
I simply can't get behind the idea that having someone whiteboard an algorithm is analogous to either their programming skill or their ability to work within a company. I spend a minuscule fraction of my time writing algorithms in my daily practice, most of my time is spent integrating disparate technologies, data wrangling, and working across teams to get the information I need to make our product. Clearly there needs to be some vetting of someone's skill, but problem solving and troubleshooting are way more valued skills in my group than the ability to write a fibonacci sequence on the whiteboard. I have had far better success asking questions around diagnostic process and troubleshooting to find talented devs than I ever did using whiteboard like tests.
NetQuake feels excellent at < 30ms. Even higher is easy to get used to with some practice because it's extremely predictable due to a lack of CSP. And yes, the solution is to have servers within ~500 miles of players so ~20ms avg ping is the norm. Most gamers have cable not DSL connections.
It's not just that. Timelines are generally unavoidably toxic. It's not going to stop people from retweeting things and then shouting about it, or writing condescending, smug threads starting with "We need to talk about ...".
Spam communication blocking isn't a revenue stream in other markets (e.g. email, snail mail, etc.), and while cell service may seem like an oligopoly, there is enough competition that customers will scoff at switching to a provider that nickel and dimes on spam blocking.
>The entire episode was a microcosm of Twitter’s larger problems [...] everyone yelling, and no one talking

This isn't meant as a dig at Twitter, but humans simply have limits to how many active participants a conversation can have at any one time. If people start talking on twitter instead of yelling, engagement metrics are going to drop through the floor.

In your experience, how many people can be in a room and all participate in one conversation before they split into more than one group, or an audience/panel dynamic forms? Twitter's design is such that there are so many silent participants to every interaction, that any conversation is stressed to the breaking point if even a tiny percent of them choose to say anything.

I don't understand what jornos think twitter is and/or could be. As far as I can tell, they want themselves and celebrities to post self-promotion and overton-window-approved nonsense care-free, and then have the crowd act as a mass of sycophantic yes-men.
I live in a residential area in a city and there is nothing worse than the sound of a lawn mower. Those are seriously stress-inducing and awful.
