It is due to the abundance of open-source libraries. To some extent it has removed the incentive for developers to re-implement closed-source libraries and they just want to use the library and get on with their product. The need to look at the intricate data structures or algorithms is always an excercise for the developer reading the technical implementation which is worth looking at but not a hard-requirement in getting the product out there (unless specified). I would say it was essential in the 1990s era (OSes, drivers, etc) but for creating web apps in 2019? I don't think so.

It is highly unlikely that a company asking me to implement a data-structure is actually going to use it or is explicitly using it. Unless they want to improve it in a research paper or fund a proof-of-concept that improves the state-of-the-art. My point here is that we as software engineers should know these DS and algorithms, but to companies who ask such questions in a interview, you should be prepared to use them explicitly.
It kind of sounds like you're having a hard time finding good new music. It's out there if you look.

The amount of bullshit corporate jargon and jarring video of a bunch of 20 year olds with headsets practicing firing an old CGI employee while a chirpy upbeat voice talking about how the products 'offers a unique opportunity to measure performance' and 'setting a new standard in employee metrics' makes me think it is an onion video of a dystopian future that I desperately want to burn down.

"in case you haunt this place in the future"

I've "haunted" this place since the first day it existed (though with other nicknames), and will doubtless haunt it for years to come. I just normally lurk, not comment.

This was just a topic important enough to bring me out of the woodwork.

"posters here can't downvote direct responses to their posts."

I did not know this, thank you for explaining. Apparently someone is following our discussion and almost instantly downvoting me each time (I guess...)

I never experienced that before, so I thought it was you. My apologies, apparently you are not rude like I thought.
!= Cross-Platform
They're more efficient because of reduced frictional losses, the contact point of an elevator is a pulley at the top of shaft and a couple guide rails. The guide rails are mostly there to provide lateral support. As for latency you can design around it, modern tall buildings will usually have multiple elevator banks that service different floors. A lot of engineering can go into designing the dispatching for elevators.
The impact can be more subtle. Personally I’m more worried about the individuals who don’t know anything about conservation going into these areas. Usually the tour groups follow a set route, limiting their impact. The grand canyon likely prefers you stay in the disneyland of the south rim where there are park rangers, trashcans, bathrooms, shuttles, and roads, rather than hike offtrail in the canyon and damage the more pristine ecology found there.
I agree that it depends on the circumstance. Particularly, it feels more like patronizing if we highlight an accomplishment for a particular reason that the party in question finds embarrassing. Maybe Johnny doesn't want to be applauded for doing his homework. But if he doesn't mind, then there is no harm to Johnny.

But there may be another, unintentional harm: the harm to the ego of everyone who isn't Johnny. They may feel hurt that their own accomplishments weren't highlighted. They may even try to defend this hurt feeling, by saying something like "So? We did our homework too. Johnny's not special. Don't you care about us?" But the point of the accolade was never to down-play everyone else's achievements; it was merely to recognize Johnny's. But the ego gets in the way, and prevents us from letting someone else have the spotlight. We see ourselves as smaller when our peers are raised higher than us, and this makes us defensive.
The years aren't on it yet. Batteries degrade with use and with time. That car is only 3 years old.

Tesla warrants their batteries at 70% capacity for 8 years for the Model 3. The Model S and X have an 8 year warranty with no capacity guarantee:

So that's about what you should expect from a Tesla battery.
Couldn't disagree more. I took eight weeks off when my child was born and I couldn't be happier that I did. I fail to see why it isn't a "wise idea" and why returning to work quickly "seems better".
Sanity is the ability to correctly perceive what is real. Hypersanity, then, is a nonsense term used to sell books.
The thing is, a naked 17-year-old and a naked 18-year-old look fairly similar. One is a felony; one is not. It would be evry difficult to distinguish between them. Apple probably wanted to head off the outrage which some person would drum up, and passed to tumbler. Tumbler figured it was easier to classify all inappropriate content, as there's no real way to classify something so fuzzy with the requisite accuracy.
> You can't put a newbord in daycare can you?

You can. Many daycares take babies from six weeks onwards. I cannot imagine how it must feel as a parent to do that at six weeks, but plenty do.
Also, to be honest, none of my comments shows as grey, but a couple of yours do. I don't get it. (I do have one comment showing as -1, previously -2).
Drugs are typically never tested on women who might be pregnant, to not risk the health of the baby.

This is a reasonable precaution, but it also means that if a drug has different effect on women, the "scientific" testing might not show that.

That wasn’t the case. They had the industry standard tools (PhotoDNA + partnership with NCMEC), but I can’t say how well they were being maintained at the time of the situation with Apple.
4chan split into two sites because PayPal stopped working on the main domain, but similar idea.
Java moved to a six month release cycle and it has breathed new life into the ecosystem as a whole. Its one of the most robust and important languages out there.

Java will likely never truly die because of legacy applications. It's also still firmly set in the market and that is not looking likely to change in the future. Its also the king of microservices with Spring Boot.

Kotlin could well take over the mobile space. Many of the touted benefits of Kotlin are slowly being added to Java itself.

Java itself may decline as a language, but I'm near certain that the JVM will be with humanity forever. Someone will be programming in a JVM language somewhere. Whether it's some future language or Java 532.

The problem is not the algorithm. The problem is the masses that believe everything they watch without questioning it.

This is wrong. You're basically saying people should have been educated against an emerging technology, a process that can take a generation. You let the technologists off the hook on the basis that if they don't do it someone else will, and the negative outcomes are the fault of uneducated for having failed to educate themselves.

The same argument was used to dismiss the way Facebook facilitated the genocide in Myanmar. For sure, social media companies are not the originators of human evil nor in any way the monopolists of it, but they are massively profiting from it despite themselves having the education and knowledge of how their tools are being abused, so that makes them culpable.
Perhaps of interest as an aside:

In trapped ion quantum systems the shared motional phonons ("sound quanta") are how 2-qubit gates are effected. If I remember the steps correctly:

1) Cool a string of ions to their motional ground state in a shared harmonic potential (the ion trap)
2) Issue laser pulses to ion 1 to create an entangled state that couples the ion's internal excited state to 1 quanta of one of the shared motional phonon mode
3) Issue a similar laser pulse to ion 2, this one exciting it conditional on the presence of the motional phonon

Now your two ions are entangled.

Yosemite (and other parks) should at least limit more interior roads to shuttles. If you want to go in, park your car outside and ride the shuttle. Would cut down on the noise and pollution. (Exceptions for disabled, etc.)
Because most of the data structures and algorithms you need are in the standard library.

I had to trench about thirty feet to install a charger in my back alley. It was expensive (about $1500) but I looked at it as a long-term investment that would pay off over a decade. If I could have shared that cost with, say, 10 neighbors it would have been pretty modest. My state also has a reimbursement program that will cover a portion of the installation costs. These capital costs are problematic but not really devastating. Even if nobody wants to use taxpayer funds, cities/utilities could propose investment programs with payback done via a small extra fee charged to electric usage over a few years.
Wow, that gave me chills to read the transcript. If true, that's an amazing story. Do we know if Earhart had a shortwave radio onboard?

My favorite air travel trivia is that the busiest air route by a huge margin isnt in new york or la or anywhere in the U.S, nor is it in europe, nor japan or china, but in Jeju, a tiny island off the coast of south korea. 13m passangers in 2017 alone. It blew my mind.
Perhaps they did and the renewal system just assumed that banned word was missing and silently skipped it.
A few years back I for the first time labeled something I was feeling as “anxiety.”

It was liberating, really did change my life, I just had no idea that was what that feeling was called.

My interpretation of the point the author is trying to make:

The 'hypersane' are those among us who have realized, for better or for worse, that the traditional things that most in a society strive for - material wealth, social status, conformity to social structures, etc. - aren't really the keys to happiness and that when you "awaken" (and become hypersane, I suppose) you realize that along with those things come stress, anxiety, the rat race, and, well, a pretty boring existence.

I dig it! I expect to see a lot of folks reject this notion outright, because, well, cognitive dissonance. If you've built your life around conforming, it might be tough to hear someone suggest it's all for naught.

That’s why it’s a big electron app, it stitches together all of these disparate O365 components. It exists to empower the bureaucracy in a company to stop any migration away from their platform.

Users are pretty meh about it, but legal and compliance are big fans, because their process stays the same.
This is the kind of thinking that CBT addresses.

Of course lowering your stress level is always a valid response, if possible.

But it is possible to handle even very stressful situations without damaging yourself with anxiety and depression. These are skills you can build up, and are very useful to have.
The "switch app" and "switch profile" buttons being right next to each other in Gmail is a common annoyance for me. I frequently click the wrong one. They do very different, unrelated things—they should be in different places. Similar things should be together, unrelated things should be apart.

It would be notable if white NBA players don't normally do charity. Race isn't the lede, but it's a component that may make the story unique.

To take the basketball analogy further, "white basketball player makes slam dunk" would be a bad story, because yeah, we know white basketball players can dunk. But "white basketball player becomes all time NBA point leader" would be news-worthy, because it's unusual. What makes a story interesting or unique won't always be dramatic, but it may still be important to highlight.

What exactly do you mean by stateless? Encapsulation in the OOP sense is not stateless, because two identical method-calls may not return the same value. Example: if you have an ArrayList, calling `size` at one point in time might have a different result than calling `size` now. That's why I say the list 'remembers' its 'state'.

An object wrapper has to have the object somewhere in memory, you just can't touch it. With a monad, the object might not even exist yet (example: Promise) or there might be more than one (example: Collections).

A 787 that is out one engine will put extra load on the remaining engine, if that one has gone through a similar life as the one that just dropped bits all over the place I'd not wager on the remaining one being as safe as when it was last inspected. That's a lot of eggs in one basket.

That's why there are restrictions on which RR engines can be put in a 787 as well as a reduction in the ETOPS certification. There've been a few revisions to the Trent, and putting two of the more "unfixed" ones on one airframe is verboten.
I had a very similar experience. Started when I was 25 after a 3 month stint of being unemployed. It started with a panic attack (which I thought was a heart attack at the time), and I ended up going to the hospital, a cardiologist, sleep clinic, gastro, etc. until eventually came to the conclusion it was nothing wrong with my heart but rather panic disorder.

I take a low dose of xanax now and all the symptoms went away and I no longer have panic attacks. I'm working on finding a better daily medication, but it completely changed my life to have a temporary solution after 3+ years of struggle and suffering with panic attacks multiple times per week.
Excellent. What a great tool for SDR.

Dug out my Jeppesen Private Pilot book which has that anecdote... (pg 9-38)

... As Amelia sighted the African coast in the distance, Fred, who was seated at the navigator's station behind the auxiliary fuel tanks, passed Amelia a note containing the latest course correction based upon his calculations:

3:36 Change to 36 degrees
Estimate 79 miles to
Dakar from 3:36 p.m.

While Fred was an experienced navigator, Amelia chose to disregard his instructions. For some reason, she believed that they could not have drifted as far off course as Fred's navigation indicated. In fact, Amelia scribbled under Fred's note: What put us north?

... Amelia followed her intuition and turned north upon reaching the coast instead of south as Fred had instructed. After flying for another 50 miles, the two found themselves at Saint-Louis, Senegal, many miles north of their intended destination. If Amelia had turned south when she reached the coast, they would have arrived at Dakar within a half hour of 3:36 p.m. The occurrence, which Amelia later admitted was her error, fortunately only resulted in a short delay ...

I'd be okay with your objection if I could pay to have the spying/data gathering turned off, like the Kindles offer with ads/no ads. But you can't, probably because the world would go crazy if someone finally puts a price on personal data.

Sucks if their business model isn't profitable with current legislation, but they aren't the first company something like that has happened to. And they're hardly a bastion of ethics and morality, which is fine (I'm not stupid and realize how companies work), but I find it hard to feel like there's a great injustice here.
It is very weak to say “it is believed that ...” and then make some very large (frankly implausible) claims without describing who believes this or why.

I would maybe give this idea some credibility if it were changed to “millions of years ago before the evolution of vocal anatomy capable of complex speech”.

But even then... completely speculative.
I would add jalapeño at the butter stage, not the egg stage. Most of its flavor diffuses into the fats, so putting it directly into the egg will more-or-less confine its flavor and then steam it.
> in my experience, "async" allows you to write the code linearly, but now the code is executed out of order

Nope, the code is executed in order. That's what `await` accomplishes. Wherever you use `await` you have a guarantee that anything that comes after it will only execute when the promise that was awaited, has resolved.

RIP HipChat, last top tier native work chat program. We were paying customers for HipChat and were forced off when Atlassian killed it. Replaced by stride/slack/discord/teams all built on electron and all with awful non-native UI and web app like performance.

I know why they do it: electron is cheap and easy to spam on every platform. I don't know why: people pay for this crap.

Perhaps the issue is that people don't pay for it? Teams is free, bundled with other MS stuff that people are buying anyways. Discord is free. Slack is mostly free (until you are already stuck with it).

Cool, thanks for the answer.
95 and 105 degrees are suprisingly different, especially with sun. 95 you can stay in the sun and will burn, but won't get heatstroke (probably). 105 you will get heatstroke unless you hydrate about 1/4 gallon/hr of water and get to shade in a reasonable amount of time.

And speaking of burns, I burn really easily. I've tried the super-oily disgusting stuff and every thing; more than 30mins of direct noon-day sun and I usually burn. I am not getting skin cancer, thank you very much.

(i) This part is very defensible, depending on company culture.

(ii) I don't know what this would be for cold, but I assume you can layer. Heat, you can only remove so much.

(iii) "Find a way" is not a great defense.

(iv) Easier said than done, and similar to iii in that they both boil down to an over-all sentiment of "deal with it".
Ah yea, that's sort of where I was expecting your comment to go, but as written, it just seemed like an indictment of exposure to people you don't know. Thanks for clarifying.
Seeing as how we're already a diverse place and considering our nominal cultural ideals of equality of opportunity, internalizing a common narrative about how diversity is intrinsically good would seem like a good way to achieve the latter given the former.

The superficial logic is largely irrelevant; it's just the typical unsubstantiated post hoc rationalizations we all engage in every day in support of our own self image. One can recognize and accept this while still appreciating the beneficial role of the narrative. Doing so seems requisite to help mitigate the unintended consequences--privileged groups buying into the narrative make it clear that they have a stake in how the narrative is translated into substantive policies. Tying to shoot it down by arguing that there's no evidence that diversity is beneficial would seem to me to be more likely to result in far worse unintended consequences, on the whole, as regardless of the cold logic it would as a practical matter legitimate worse kinds of prejudice. In fact, if everybody internalized the narrative of diversity it might lead to increased homogeneity, which if you believed that less cultural diversity would be better (e.g. permitting more trusting social norms) would make it a paradoxically more rational choice.
It's different in a statically-typed language. The compiler and editor tooling keeps you aware at all times of that interplay. If you forget, you're reminded rather quickly.
