The CSA attempted to leave over the issue of slavery. Trying to say it was otherwise is to buy into the discredited Lost Cause narrative.

Separation of structure/content and presentation is great for textual content splintered with a few images, so it shines in blogs, news sites (in theory) and other types of informational sites (like documentation). I can give my blog a brand new look without touching any HTML markup, which is awesome.

This separation does get in the way in certain modern web apps, where content is basically scrambled garbage without proper presentation.
> The test sure seemed to prove that.

I would not get too hung up on those multiple choice tests.

I've been programming professionally now for over 25+ years and ran into my first multiple choice test about 4 years ago.

In a very short space of time I managed to failed three (two C# and one C++) in quick succession.

Now days, if I come across a role that requires such a test I just politely refuse and move on.

FWIW why I think these test are a waste of time and why I did so badly is because they don't actually test day to day programming skills.

The three test I did where all very similar with a lot of gotcha type of questions.

They asked questions like spot the obscure error in a very poorly written piece of spaghetti code, or tell me exactly what exception this code will throw exception etc.

As a programmer you never have to directly deal with these types of issues only because your compiler finds the errors and the documentation gives you exception details.

And in a way the tests knew this as well, because all three warned you could not switch out of the test window while doing the test.

In other words the test would have been a trivial exercise if you where actually allowed to use your day to day work tools.
I think Google are being deceptive here too. I find a lot of lyrics on Google that are mis-attributed and seem very unlikely to be correctly licensed.

The best example is that Google claim that the copyright to the Star Spangled Banner, the National Anthem of the U.S.A., is owned by "Concord Music Publishing LLC". It's beyond parody.

Song-writers don't seem to have much of a say in their lyrics showing up on these sites, and are often not credited at all. This has been going on a long long time and getting it right doesn't seem to be a priority.

Crazy, HAProxy is free, will proxy and load balance anything not just HTTP, and it's absolutely trivial to configure and install; there's nothing remotely complicated about setting it up. Most importantly for trivial offloading of certificates at the edge; even if using nxinx for your app servers, you should front end it with HAProxy. nxinx just doesn't compare and isn't free. Nxinx is a web server, haproxy is a tcp/ip load balancer; they're really not comparable and are for different things.
Give us a break. You link us to communist propaganda and expect us to take you seriously? The paper tiger Chinese government is insecure enough to take down songs from Les Miserables (https://www.economist.com/prospero/2019/06/14/do-you-hear-th...). There is no fair coverage without a free press, and my view is that we need to reinforce our allies in the Hong Kong and Taiwanese and wait out or even hasten the PRC's collapse. The Chinese people deserve liberation.

There's quite a bit more to a relational database than the equivalent of multiple tables that might share a "key", and some utility to join.

Further, if you're going to steer clear of easy options like SQLlite, there are more robust commands than "join". Awk, for example, can do much more than just join. Though if we're keeping this to what can be done via CLI, you still have tools like python. Between Pandas and, if you really must have SQL syntax, Pandasql, you can simulate an RDB even more simply.

> There likely happens to be a 'join' program installed on your computer and like any program it can be invoked from your shell.

'join' is a Linux coreutil, so though it might not always be there for strictly UNIX, it will be for Linux.

Calling a coreutil part of the shell does make sense in some contexts, and I'd suggest when talking about what you can do with a cli, this is one of those times.
It probably isn't Google though. They say they license and receive content from LyricFind Inc, which probably takes care of all the legal issues.

I'm guess that LyricFind got lawyers from all the major labels to sign licenses, but no one ever actually bothered to get the lyrics for them. Management probably told their tech people to just get them from wherever.

In the soundcloud recordings he says he is residing in texas which is one a party consent state.
In China mainland, there is a censor tech named Great Firewall.(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Firewall?wprov=sfti1) It just cut off the connection between China and the World Internet by blocking famous website like Twitter, Facebook etc. Only the people have eagerness of finding truth will use anti-blocking tech like VPN to find information by themselves. Of course, it’s inconvenience and sometimes not working because of outer server banned. Not sure how many people could get information by themselves. But it’s pessimistic for people living in China how willing to find the information.

Recently, because the propagation by gov, the citizens even think the GFW is protecting them from harmful information and the outside force want breaking up China rather than censorship itself. Especially, this time the protest is propagated as a riot planned by western country. Being lack of information, most citizens support gov’s standpoint.

So maybe not ignorant, just like not conscious, as a result of being accustomed.
It should be a norm to take articles from authoritarian state-owned outlets with many grains of salt. The common trope is to give the basic outline of the facts while ignoring the real issues: namely the fact that communist China is undemocratic, violates basic human rights and that it is a tarnish to anyone's reputation and character to turn a blind eye to this.

There are quite a few reasons, but they all boil down to the fact that Beijing wants Hong Kong to be part of China.

Culture: From what I understand, China sees itself not as a nation-state, but as a civilization-state. The government has a desire to unite all Chinese people together in a single nation. This is why they still claim Taiwan as part of China. Letting Hong Kong be independent is a step back from that goal.

History: During British colonial rule, China opposed all attempts at introducing full democracy to Hong Kong. It doesn't have strong democratic institutions in the way that you might expect. Yes it has a legislature, but half of the seats are essentially reserved for businesses (called 'functional constituencies'). The head of state is chosen from a pre-selected group of people who are loyal to Beijing. So even if the people all agreed on independence being the best path (and that isn't something that people agree on, as best I can tell)

Geography: Hong Kong is a relatively small geographic area with a very large population. It doesn't have the means to support itself. For example, most (all?) of its fresh water comes from mainland China. A lot of food comes from the mainland too. If Beijing doesn't want Hong Kong to be independent, they could simply stop supporting it with it's infrastructure.

Economic: Hong Kong has a thriving economy, and it's history has left it with a special economic status in several countries (including the USA). This makes it very useful to Beijing. They can skirt trade laws and funnel money through Hong Kong as needed. An independent Hong Kong could make this more difficult.

For programming, it's not about how well you can perceive text, but about keeping your brain from entering the "I'm outside, let's perform physical activity" mode. Similarly, everyone wants to avoid this mode at night (eg Redshift).

Even visual art apps, which benefit from a well-defined whitepoint, default to a neutral grey rather than blinding white. If you enjoy flooding your eyes with light, you can always mount a spot light or even a strobe light above your monitor.

You don't need XOR and AND. You ONLY need NAND (or NOR).

NAND/NOR are universal in that they can single handedly construct all other gates. XOR and AND is not a minimal construction.

This is well below the level of understanding to get to GF(2).

NOR and NAND are symmetric in their arguments. The other four universal gates are anti-symmetric. In other words you have to remember and be careful which input is which. Why would anyone chose to deal with that extra complication when they are no more powerful than the two symmetric universal gates?
That isn't correct at all; the reason you see NAND/NOR is because they're all that's needed (they are universal). GP was incorrect.

This is a common misconception about the Griggs ruling. See https://slatestarcodex.com/2017/07/26/dont-blame-griggs/

The Griggs decision explicitly places the same restrictions on college degrees that it does on IQ tests. Obviously nobody cares about this, and it turns out the Griggs restrictions aren’t that strict and most people manage to ask about college degree just fine. This changes the argument to be about whether there’s complicated case law around Griggs which makes employers figure that college degrees will probably be accepted in practice, but IQ tests probably won’t be.

There's not actually a prohibition on IQ tests in hiring, and in fact, during my recent job search, one company I interviewed with had me take an IQ test (it wasn't explicitly labeled as one, but it had exactly the sorts of questions you would find on one). The same company also had me go through a more typical algorithm-heavy technical interview later in the process.
I don't think a conspiracy theory is needed for this case. It's just an unfortunate glitch of the machine learning. On the other hand, I acknowledge problems like these have serious consequences.

After Google Translate's 2016 algorithm update (https://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/computing/software/googl...), anecdotally, many people started seeing it having problems on distinguish between a positive sentence and a negative sentence (e.g. has/has not, with/without), even simple ones.

Also, when Google cannot "understand" a sentence, it simply gives an output that happens to have the best match of its training patterns, often the opposite meaning. For short sentences without context, it's especially problematic.

In 2018, Google Translate briefly became a Twitter meme when it made the following translation. I cannot find the original thread, but I quickly Googled some keywords and found related tweets.

* 考虑到庭审涉及信息的敏感性，法庭分别进行了两次独立的听证会，一次公开进行，另一次不公开 (Because of the sensitive nature of information at stake in the trial, two separate hearings were conducted, one in public, and the other in private) => Taking into account the sensitivity of the information involved in the trial, the court conducted two separate hearings, one in public and one in the open.

It's not at the same scale as before but the practice certainly hasn't ended. It's also important to ask what allowed it to flourish.

> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libya

> "...More than 8,000 American personnel in warships and aircraft were deployed in the area. At least 3,000 targets were struck in 14,202 strike sorties, 716 of them in Tripoli and 492 in Brega.[87] The American air offensive included flights of B-2 Stealth bombers, each bomber armed with sixteen 2000-pound bombs, flying out of and returning to their base in Missouri in the continental United States..."

Slavery is undoubtably beneficial to Capitalism (ex: sea trade via the triangular trade routes), and the almighty dollar frequently overrides morality for the worse.
It's not honest. You're not asking the question to better understand the situation, you're asking the question to make a rhetorical point. You're not expressing your opinion, you're hiding your opinion, and setting up a "trap" for the employer to possibly fall into if they answer "incorrectly". You think you know better.

Asking questions doesn't create a snake pit, not being straightforward with your opinions does. Asking leading questions that force people to not trust your motivations will certainly create a toxic work environment.

Related, I don't think you actually believe I was genuinely putting forward the idea that you shouldn't ask questions in your interview. I have some not-great theories about why you chose to do that, but this probably isn't worth the time it'd take to figure it out with you...
In my experience, Amazon is no better in the customer service department. I recently ordered some unscented deodorant from Amazon and they sent me some horrible smelling "Sport" scent. Fine, mistakes happen, but when I went to return it the item was marked as "not returnable". No other options. So they basically stole $17 from me and there's nothing I can do short of filing in small claims court. It was a very Google-esque experience.
