> ...should be something anybody can do...

Why? Certainly anyone could learn to do this, but is there any practical reason for someone like me who absolutely never goes to the wilderness to spend time doing this?
Japan bans smoking in government buildings, schools
No they're not. They're looking at control panels that were mostly written between 1992 and 2000, and asking why the decade since Win7's release hasn't been enough time to get them all on the same UI framework.

"that deep" should be read in terms of the resources of a large company. It's a small fraction of the OS.
This idea always appealed to me in theory but I sweat so easily that it never made sense unless I want to show up covered in sweat and feel sticky all day. Maybe if there's a locker/shower I can use and go directly to work and shower there it could work for me.

Far easier to set a trapline and walk it every day.
I've actually done this (in who's hiring). There was a startup that was going to rate people or something and I thought "wow that's super weird and not good." A few years later, and I think they're pretty big. I generally feel like a lot of the posts sound goofy and pointless.

Speedruns and other exploitative/unintended aspects of a game basically solve that issue. There is no way that the developers of Super Mario World would have ever guessed that someone would beat the game in minutes by reprogramming it at runtime via glitches.

"bill that will study ways to replace automated systems with low-tech redundancies to protect the country's electric grid from hackers."

The headline seems to be inferring more than the content is saying. The intent is not to rollback digitized systems, it's to decrease dependency on vulnerable systems. And the bill is only to commission a study on what systems could benefit from manual fallback, nothing is slated to be implemented yet.

The title makes it sound like the number of employees at Github scaled to 25k. The actual meaning though is that the number of Github contributers / participants at Microsoft increased to 25k.

Quote:
"At Microsoft today we have almost 25,000 engineers participating in our official GitHub organizations for open source, a great number of them contributing to open source communities throughout GitHub."

Quite misleading IMO.

I see where you are coming from.

Really, what drove the creation of this tool and its particular way of doing things are the following motivations:

1) It takes a long time to write a Swagger document by hand (2-4 API operations per resource, 5+ resources on average = 20+ operations)

2) The normal swagger file is 200 - 1000+ lines long. Most of the swagger documents I write (even before including documentation) easily stretch past 1000 lines.

3) To avoid writing 1000 lines of code by hand, this tool lets you define just your domain models, as JSON schemas. If you write the objects that your API will expose, the tool will generate the operations and the swagger code for that automatically.

4) Now that the swagger file is generated, I can fill in documentation and make other changes before deploying.

5) The reason the schemas are in a markdown document is because it easily exports to HTML or a PDF, and is shareable to non-technical users and other audiences (business/product owners/architecture) and keeps everything tidy and in one place.

I agree that having the raw JSON/yaml files are probably easier to work with across tools or as input to other processes. I may add this in the future.

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to explain.
A single pitch seems too much in 2019. The Amazon is the most biologically diverse and rich belt in the world. It is paramount to protect this heritage. They are clearing it mostly for cattle and illegal timber. This is a massive systemic failure to assign the correct value to this land and to have legal systems capable of protecting it.
If you’re planning on having more than a couple of cocktails with dinner, you can always Uber. Ride sharing has been a huge boon for suburban areas. We can actually walk to a bar from our house (there happens to be a bar in our car dependent suburb) but it’s only a $10 Uber ride to the downtown of the satellite city where we live. For the two of us, Metro fare in DC wouldn’t be all that much cheaper.
I interpreted the article as 25k Microsoft engineers working on open source projects affiliated with GitHub/Microsoft (e.g. Typescript) rather than GitHub the product. Moreover of those 25k they're not all full-time continuous or even contributing on company time.
It is a funny old world when the one fact that they are willing to be managed as a technical contributor sets a candidate apart.
Google does not contribute to OSS? https://opensource.google.com/
From my understanding, this isn't saying there are 25k employees working directly for/on github. This is saying they have a lot of distinctly separate open source projects (e.g. VSCode) that teams work on that are hosted on Github.

A quick google suggests there's some odd ~900 employees of Github, which is the same order of magnitude as Gitlab.
So there were no tribal hierarchies when humans were nomadic and the strongest physically held power?

Of these non-hierarchical orgs you cite, how many were robust to external change and able to survive times of stress? I’m also not familiar of any non-hierarchical org that wasn’t steamrolled by a more dominant hierarchical society

I interpreted the "For God's sake" remark itself as possibly being a little sexist. Not necessarily in itself, but it's selection as the title of the article roused my concern a little.

Ah, that certainly makes a lot more sense.
I started the "Who wants to be hired?" threads over 5 years ago [1] after dang giving his blessing on it [2], and was super excited that it led to the job [3] that I still happily hold today.

I really wish these threads were more active -- and received more upvotes -- relative to the "Who's hiring" threads, as it seems like the signal to noise is so much better, and also seems like the success rate would be quite a bit higher.

I'm not sure if a) people aren't aware of the threads, or b) people don't have confidence in their success rate.

But as someone whose career -- and as a result, life -- got a big boost from it, I highly recommend anyone considering a move to try posting there. Seems like it could only help!

I think I see the problem: "half a day"

Depending on what you mean by "a day", each commute direction is 2 to 3 hours. (or I suppose 6) You have a very long distance, or severe traffic, or something else unusual. It sounds like you would be driving over the mountains to reach a place like LA or SF.

I've been a software developer at 5 different work locations in 2 different states, but I have never commuted more than 20 minutes. Currently it is almost that if I walk, or 3 minutes if I drive.

This is because I choose small cities with affordable housing and low traffic. Big urban tech hubs are popular, but they mean you probably won't get a large property right near work.

The thing is, once the Pickup is “pencils down” on the design, Tesla will be free to circle back to an interior refresh on Model S and X. (1) This will coincide roughly with when Tesla claims their self driving taxi network product will come online.

Once Model Y and Model 3 are globally available at scale, those lines cover the budget market.
Tesla will be free to jack up the S and X prices into the mid $100s and spend that money on interiors. People will use ride sharing revenues to help cover the higher monthly payment.

Even if the autonomy part is delayed, this next generation of interiors, led by Lucid, is supporting Lyft and Uber drivers to make those higher payments, with premium vehicle ride share rates.

(1) Semi won’t need consumer design resources. And 3 and Y can be in design freeze for a while. Those teams will be 100% about production efficiency for a decade or so. So after Pickup, what else can Franz work on besides Roadster and S & X interior luxury? Franz had a fun to his head when designing the first Model S. With the freedom to start over and the needs of of autonomous taxi services at front of mind, I think Franz could do a lot. And depending on how Pickup goes we might see a more radical styling on the Model S. The 3/Y can be the conservative models, S/X inevitably have to be about passion.
Multi-Criteria Chinese Word Segmentation with Transformer
I've had several clients lately who have either built or needed to rescue an architecture that worked from events in a log. I'm amazed at how many teams seem to get it wrong. Like the author here, there are apparently a lot of different ways to interpret the design, and therefore a lot of subtle mistakes to make. I tried to summarize what I've learned in "Why are software developers confused by Kafka and immutable logs?"

http://www.smashcompany.com/technology/why-are-software-deve...
Yes! I posted in the threads on Jan 1 and Feb 1 of this year. I was contacted by a cumulative total of 14 companies, of which 2 were actually interesting to me. I'm a mechanical engineer working in robotics hardware, so that's a little different to the typical opportunities listed here. For both companies I was interested in, the process started with 2-3 phone interviews, then I was invited to fly out for on-site interviews (very important when working on hardware!). I was offered the position at both places, and ultimately accepted one. I joined a couple of months ago, and I'm loving it so far!! Feel free to ask me any questions
Out of interest, could you give us a rough idea of the scope of a 2-hour take home exercise for a front end position?
Well, OPEC feels it needs to artificially limit supply to keep prices from cratering, while fracking has basically permanently displaced several producers.

Also, electrification and renewables threaten future demand (though that may be taken up by plastics).

At some point between now and the heat death of the universe, the Earth will stop pumping oil. I wouldn't bet that peak oil is super imminent though.
For all-around use I like https://keeweb.info/ It uses Keepass formats. Save your DB to WebDAV, Dropbox, Google Drive, and One Drive. You can download an app and run it or run it in your browser. I run the app version and use KeePassHttp-Connector and auto-type (works in other apps beyond a browser) to fill in username and password. You can also store Google Auth TOTP (HMAC-based OTP) as a backup too. I would store it in a separate DB.
> but humans will still be here

Yes, but how many, and who. It's still an existential threat to invididuals, when you don't know what conditions that will make up that survivability. Now that it is apparent that there is the distinct possibility of people dying within our lifetimes, even if not many, it's a concern. It's basically "Evolution has decided that the time has come to select the strongest, and I don't know if I or my loved ones are strong enough."
By the title, I jumped to the conclusion it was some article about Judy Blume.
Maybe it just sounds that way to engineers then; I'm an engineer, and I read it the same way GP did. "on" is the preposition I'd use if I were describing the engineers as working on Github (as I just did right now)

Analytical Flavor Systems | Manhattan - NYC | Full-Time | Onsite | http://www.Gastrograph.com/
Positions: Full-Stack Engineer, Data Scientists, R&D Product Formulator / Scientist

Overview: Gastrograph AI is an artificial intelligence platform for modeling human sensory perception of flavor, aroma, and texture to predict consumer preferences of food & beverage products. We help food and beverage companies develop new products, enter new markets, and optimize their existing brands. We're a diverse 12 person post Series-A company.

Application & Data Stack: Javascript, React & React Native, Java, GraphQL, Spark, R, postgres/MySQL, AWS

The Position(s)

_Data Science_: We didn't build a data science team to optimize our product's marketing spend, sales funnel, or client retention – we built a data science team to build our product. Our Data Science team develops new models and algorithms from scratch to make second-order inference on sparse data sets from non-representative samples that generalizes to the underlying target population. We rely on cutting edge models such as persistent homology, PU Learning, and metric learning to make predictions on non-eucldian human sensory data. We don't use tensor flow or pandas or keras as they are not a good fit for our problem space. We prefer a deep understanding of math and stats VS experience running logistic regressions in Python. (but we're cool with Python / Logit / experience)

_Engineering_: (1) full stack engineers with experience with React, GraphQL, and React Native to work on our web app for clients and our mobile app for tasters. (2) Data-Engineers with experiance in micro-batch processing for machine learning pipelines.

Next Steps: please contact Jason Cohen at JasonCEO@Gastrograph.com to apply.
Let me fix that for you:

> Back in mid-##80s## before anyone I knew had an Internet connection, a few of us had modems and would use them to call bulletin board systems via the phone line.

Internet connections were common place in the middle 90's, though perhaps not broadband, permanently connected ones. There was a lot of dial-up.

> The chat wasn't quite like chats are now. It was split-screen, and there were only two participants.

Sysop-only chat is squarely 1980's. I already used multi-participant chat dial-up bulletin boards as far back as 1988. Didn't even have to call long-distance; there was one in Vancouver. By the mid 1990's, that stuff was passé.

In the mid 1990's, you could PPP/SLIP to connect to the Internet over dial-up, and use IRC to chat with people all over the world (either run your own local client, or telnet/ssh into a provider's shell account). I compiled an IRC client for the first time in 1994 and was just amazed: I'm talking with people all over the flippin' world! This guy is in the Netherlands! Another one in Australia... wow! Vast number of channels and users, whoa.

In 1995, I was running Linux 1.3.x, with SMP support: an ASUS motherboard with two 100 MHz Pentiums. I had a 28.8 kbps modem, and had dial-up Internet access (PPP).
It would tell you that GarageBand was a structure of processor opcodes that executed on the processor and had the ability to interface with a storage device, a video screen and an audio processor, among other things, and that the opcodes for GarageBand were likely stored on said storage device.

Maybe you wouldn't understand GarageBand yet, but you'd have a solid set of next steps for your research.

Sometimes they are called memorandum for the record.

Send yourself an email with your recollection of the incident and print a copy that you do not keep at work. If there is a problem later, you’ll have documentation of your contemporaneous thoughts that can be used to corroborate yourself.

It’s good practice whenever something significant happens.
