Registered republican here. I actually disagree. This is not something that should be under federal purview. The states retain full sovereignty over their land and are under no obligation to 'figure out how to do it through the federal government'. California is and should be free to set whatever standards it pleases, regardless of how idiotic someone in Iowa or New York think they may be.

Trump has violated states rights and deserves to be criticized for it.

But British cities, towns, villages, hamlets, and farms also generally ran themselves unless the crown needed to step in for some reason. They still do, and this is also true of everywhere else in every other legal regime. The colonies only differ in that they're so far away that the crown generally can't step in even when it wants to.

Jews in medieval Europe were generally subject to Jewish law and not subject to the law that applied to the rest of the city. That's self-rule.
Looks like you are a Hong Kong nativist. I can totally understand, and even support, your desire and struggle for ever higher level of autonomy and self determination.

However, spewing blatant lies about your own language, culture, or heritage invites only ridicule and scorn from honest people who know any about Hong Kong and China.

It certainly is possible that the HR folks at the places you've applied just are not reading correctly the skills and experience that you have conveyed. I think i heard some people refer to this as an "HR Fail". While it hurts you (by not getting you that job), it hurts the company far more, because they lost out on talented individual.

The alternative could be that they're discriminating you because of your age. Just for the sake of argument, you noted "twenty years experience"...if i assume that you started working on your 20th birthday, that means you are theoretically 40 years old...ripe for being the victim of age discrimination (or at least the beginning of it). And, if true then this sucks royally!

I've recently been looking to jump to another gig. I have a degree and almost 20 years of experience. (I'm 45 years old this year, by the way.) In my summary I would always begin with something along the lines of "Technical professional with over 18 years of diversified experience...etc." And, while that has worked ok in the last several years, lately, I get barely any replies. Jobs that in the past i would have easily gotten, are no longer even replying to me. Then, a friend noticed my opening line, and suggested i drop the number of years, and remove 1 or 2 of my early jobs...In essence make it seem like I'm younger...Wow, what a difference. While i still have not gotten any bites (my job search is still early), i now have many more replies...Which confirms that employers don't want to hire "older people".

I feel for you. My suggestion: make yourself appear a bit younger on paper, to at least get your foot in the door and interview. Best of luck with your job search!!!!!
So far, the government seems to not have provided any legal justification for this move. Would love to hear input from someone with legal experience that can shed some light on how the appeals process may look and the reasons why one side may prevail over the other.
Yeah, that sounds like a "crunchy Karen" practice...

> Part of me still thinks that he just wanted to learn/use the JNI and that project seemed like the perfect target. Lol.

As a dev who sometimes goes off chasing wind mills, that's 99% of the reason why I do it. I find something nice to tinker with, and when my brain goes "ooh, shiny" I stop giving a shit about anyone's bottom line.

To be fair, it usually turns out for the better for the project and its code base! But sometimes it doesn't, and I figure that's just the cost of doing business. Companies should be willing to take these kinds of informed risks in order to improve their employees' ability, and therefore the quality of their product. However, a lot of management only sees the short term gain, because long term gain isn't incentivized for them. They just wanna do well and get a promotion.

Well, guess what, it's the same for me. Except for me to do well, I have to be learning new things constantly. So tough poop, management, I'll be chasing my white whale every once in a while. Deal with it.
We used a Gaussian process on the outputs from a CNN, not separately.

What I meant by locality is the idea that two points which are close to each other should also have predictions close to each other, assuming that there is some underlying Gaussian variable we can't see immediately from the data or from the CNN.

One example could be housing prices: if your neighbor sold their house, controlled for other factors like square ft or the number of bedrooms, you should value your own house similarly. We assume that there is this underlying quality of the neighborhood, possibly given by distance between houses.

The niche that GPs fill is broad. Two applications I've seen were their use in trying to find the missing MH370 flight, and another is in hyperparameter tuning of ML models.

Given that auto manufacturers already build all their cars to meet California's requirements, then it would have made sense to simultaneously adopt their standards right along with stripping their future right to change them. Unilaterally rolling back the standard means this decision had nothing to do with federalizing the standards and everything to do with attacking a blue state.

In truth, I find that most Westerners have a much more distorted view of China than Chinese people do. That may seem strange and obvious to say, but there are so many Westerners who know next to nothing about China, yet confidently talk about Chinese people being brainwashed. The thing is, those "brainwashed" people have a much better informed and more nuanced view of China. The people calling them "brainwashed" are typically just regurgitating whatever they read in the newspaper this morning, which is usually sensationalized (imagine a non-American's impression of the US being formed entirely by news accounts of mass shootings).

That's either because 1) you didnt have emissions testing where you are or 2) you didnt have a 15+ year old car. It can be a real burden on the lowest end consumer (often the poor) to deal with regulations around vehicles because they're often barely keeping something running.
I agree, but how would you drive me as a recruiter to post the job here. "Hey, want some non CS degree developers" ?!

Honestly, not criticizing. Want to understand what if I was the founder of this.
Huh, I find the price quite good. I have two people on the flexible plan, $15/mo + $10/GB, which typically comes to $35-50 a month. Previously we were on t mobile and paying like $90 a month baseline (including add on for travel flexibility, which is free on Fi), and sometimes getting to $110 or so.
Which is the stinker?
I use Google Fi, and I don't think unlimited data is the headline feature here. If you look at the fine print on the existing "flexible" plan (search for "that’s a max bill of"), they already cap the maximum data cost; comparing the cap to the Fi Unlimited price, Fi Unlimited saves you very little, in exchange for never letting you pay less if you use less data.

Based on that, and the fact that I rarely hit the cap, it isn't worth switching.

However, Google Fi Unlimited also gives unlimited international calls to many countries. That might make it worth switching, at least for months I'm traveling.
That resonates a lot with my experience :/.

survivorship bias?
We had a situation like this at work. My username was very common and got locked on our ssh proxies like clockwork with just the routine background internet scanning. I couldn't get any traction with getting this fixed. We had hardware 2FA (physical tokens), so brute forcing was effectively moot.

Then, strangely, various senior folks found their accounts getting locked 1-2 times a day, including the founder. That autolock policy died in a week, and they started looking for 2FA failures instead, as they should have.

I had considered "accidentally" setting up a ssh loop to do this but never quite got around to it. I assume somebody else did. I doubt that an infusion of sanity happened by accident.
The primary way it's better is that many of the distro mirroring services have ways to announce the mirror for specific networks, so people requesting packages in Fort Collins could get them from a local mirror, rather than going across transit.

I've found it much more common for a non-CS degree holder to start down a path that boils down to "first, I'll solve the halting problem and then I'll apply that to the problem I'm actually facing" or similar foundational errors. (I say this as someone who has had a 26 year career in software without holding a CS degree.)
When effort is required is as important as how much effort is required. Sure, if I want to watch something on my Plex server I have to have put the content on the server in the first place, but I can do that at my leisure. When I want to watch that content, it’s there, and I don’t have to spend 10 minutes with my dinner getting cold while I try to find the thing I want to watch.

I consistently had mobile monthly bills $30-$40 probably because my data usage was primarily in location with wifi. And whatever you don't use of that $10Gb gets rolled over to the next month which is not something TMobile will offer.
The issue is - only California had that special right - but thats more of an issue with the framing of the original clean air act - the special rule was put in because California had standards on emissions before the rest of the country
There is an example I am aware of that was in my history book (but that I am having trouble finding now). States would set conflicting sizes for tractor trailer mudflaps in what seemed to be a de facto attempt to regulate trade between states. This was found to be a violation of the interstate commerce clause.

The actions California takes may be considered similar, especially (as someone below mentioned) if previously acceptable cars are not grandfathered in. There is also probably a good case to be made if California law has an effect, intended or not, on non-Californian states.

There is also a federal rule (good faith and something) that states must, in general, recognize the licenses of other states (marriage, drivers, etc; but notably not concealed carry, which I think will be tested again).

Personally, on the one hand I am for states rights and the environment and very much do not like how the interstate commerce clause is used. On the other, a lack of agreeable regulation is detrimental to the states (and having one state force that regulation does not seem fair).
And how could they “reasonably” not have known they were broadcasting these records to the world? To take the one thing you are storing and put it on the internet for anyone to access?

Maybe this underlying software which has a port open does so without informing anyone that it’s doing it? I can’t quite believe that.

So that leaves me thinking that at some point, someone did not RTFM.

The analogy would be something like running a Bitcoin wallet service and leaving your bitcoind RPC bound to 0.0.0.0 with no password.

> Secondly, if you don’t do this, future developers will keep adding parameters in an ad-hoc manner

You seem to presume a situation where you have absolute control over the initial signature of functions added to the codebase but no ability to constrain future changes.

1. All parameters that for which a default makes sense should be optional and have a sensible default.

2. (In languages where this is an option) All parameters with a default must be keyword-only.

3. All new parameters to an existing function (from a stable release) must have a sensible default.

> When you are building a re-usable framework, it’s silly NOT to anticipate future needs. The whole point of a framework is future needs.

The point of a framework is to avoid solving the same problem multiple times in each new project. If you haven't needed to solve it twice in two separate projects, be skeptical that you need it in a framework. If you haven't needed it once, don't even consider it. Code for problems you don't have is pure waste.

Much of the advice you offer is going to produce waste because YAGNI; each time they come up the cost may be small, but in aggregate it's going to be a lot of extra zero-value code being written and maintained, bloating development and maintenance costs and timelines. Occasionally, you'll be benefit a little down the line from hitting a problem you correctly anticipated, but often you’ll suffer from having not having anticipated the real constraints of the problem when dealing with it when it wasn't a real need, meaning you’ll have to throw away your just-in-case code anyway, and all the time you'll be dealing with extra complexity dealing with problems you haven't had any real need to address but only imagined might come up in the future.
> These days, I don't trust...

The goal of the new style autocrats and their advocates is not a particular propaganda line but to create doubt in reality based information sources. Individuals can follow rabbit holes until the find the story that matches their previously held world view and so guarantee supporters never defect.

For example, you can always find an obscure website "proving" climate change is a hoax. If you now distrust reputable sources and weight every site roughly equally, you could easily convince yourself that no one knows if there is climate change or not.
I am not sure how this is correlated with not having a degree. In my degree they didn't teach me while loops specifically. I taught myself them before the degree because I programmed as a hobby. I'm sure bootcamps would teach `while`.

I also don't see what this has to do with FP. I bet there are few people who understand map/reduce functions and don't get for/while loops, unless they are literally just memorizing tutorials without understanding them.
Couldn’t you use a dual sim though, or several virtual sims and depend on the phone to switch?
When I switched to Google Fi, my phone bill dropped from $140 a month (Verizon, two people) to $60 a month (1 person), including the monthly finance charge for my phone.

Now, with two people and no phone financing, our bill is a combined $80 a month most months.

I don't see why I'd use this Unlimited plan, given that it's much more expensive.

Also, unrelated: Google Fi has been amazing when travelling abroad (Dominican Republic and Thailand, specifically). Full signal and no added charges everywhere there.

Sadly, my wife and I are planning to go back to Verizon just to get iPhones.

Firstly, I'm not sure what the magic is on this service within the USA now that T-Mobile and Sprint are merging. That was the original premise, that Fi would allow you to blend multiple phone networks for better service. It would be awesome if they managed to bring on another of the carriers and US mobile doesn't count for most of the US.

Having said that, the international roaming is the best offer that I know of from a US provider and I could easily see it being worth it for anyone who travels often. They also just added free calling to 50 countries on this unlimited plan, so that's also a great bonus if you work internationally often.
It wasn't my comment. Your seemingly automatic replies barely reading what you're responding to is another classic hallmark of the ideologue.

I've seen so much misinformation and inaccurate reporting around this story and it's been quite frustrating.

As I understand it, four auto manufacturers were working on stricter regulations with the State of California and nationally in separate negotiations.

The deal the auto manufacturers were working on was for 46.5 mpg nationally and 50mpg in California. Then the State of California went their own way and decided that it would 54.5 mpg.

The auto manufacturers flipped out and said that was way too aggressive and that they wouldn't be able to meet that target. The auto manufacturers themselves approached the administration to intervene in negotiations. This is the biggest part of the story that is not being reported.

Then the Trump administration went way the other way and decided that California shouldn't be able to separately negotiate restrictions. The EPA wants control over this.

It's literally "play stupid games, win stupid prizes" all around.

Why should those that are aspie modify themselves to satisfy those that are neurotypical instead of those that are neurotypical learning how to work with aspies?

Not saying the aspies shouldn't work on themselves, but it should be a two way street, where NTs also learn to recognize and tolerate aspies.

I can relate to your quandary having been there myself a few times and having seen co-workers in the same situation.

How long have you been in the management role? TBH, it takes some time and resetting of your own expectations about what meaningful work is on a day to day basis when you go from IC to manager. There is a mental leap you have to make from doing interesting technical work yourself to finding satisfaction in getting your team to succeed.

It is also worth noting that most of us start off as mediocre managers and it takes deliberate effort to improve your skills here. Is it possible that you may actually enjoy management if you got better at it?

Falling behind on technical skills as a manager is a very valid concern and there are a couple of ways to mitigate the risk somewhat i.e. be hands-on with code reviews, do detailed tech and architecture docs. Another tactic is to give yourself some small hands-on work in the team -- this needs to be done carefully though. If you spend too much time in the weeds of the code base you will miss the forest for the trees (which is what your role as manager requires).

On the flip side, you mentioned you took up the management role for career progression. Was this because you were not growing or progressing as an IC in your current company?
For every one position we hire for we’ll see 100s of applicants, and we might have 5-10 good choices to hire. Filters are a critical part of managing a candidate pipeline, and for better or worse a degree is widely used as a filter for those companies that don’t lack a pool of qualified candidates, which also tend to be pretty attractive companies to work for.
I want information on that, too, though for Europe.
