I have no idea how cookies are supposed to having an impact on hosting in Google's cloud vs your own hardware, or why Google would care about people where something like that is in any way significant.
As someone who has given take-home tests let me answer these for you:

- Unit tests? Yes. It will increase your standing.

- Docs? Absolutely. A must have. You will not be considered really otherwise.

- Deployment? See above.

- Support 5k requests? Not unless that is what the test is testing for, pay attention during phone interview about the role and it's requirements, the test will look for this and other generalizations.

- Clean code? Very, very important. Don't try to show how smart you are, show how audience aware you are. Most likely you will be working on a team, a team doesn't want a cowboy programmer.

Something you didn't mention but bodes really well for anything with a front-end interface: hosting. Executives hate running things themselves, so a hosted version will put you at the top of the list.
At the risk of sounding new-age.. I think man really is full of himself. We think of nature as something simple and marvel at our creations but if you look at it with slightly cold eye, you'll see how everything is complex, subtle, and full of beauty. Wood fiber, feathers, even plants. It's highly intricate weaving of threads giving structure, color, function .. it's not that different from pieces of electronics to me.

This article has no substance and is seriously completely stupid.
To be fair they bring a boatloads of innovation. It is how said innovations are being used. As for "their day will come": so far I only see the opposite. That "your life as a service" pattern spreads like a cancer. Not sure why people are buying into it.
In this case it's a bit easier to prove in court because there is documented evidence of Solar City's auditor signaling the need to use "going concern" language, and top executives at Solar City discussing the dire financial straits that any further revenue declines would put the company in. Top executives who reported, ultimately, to Elon Musk, who also had access to all the same financials they were looking at. They're also unable to plead ignorance because Tesla's CFO at the time, Jason Wheeler, made a very frank presentation to the Tesla Board laying out all the reasons Solar City was a ticking financial timebomb, and this is also coming out in the lawsuit.
I feel that. One could argue that all ambitious entrepreneur types are motivated at least partly by a burning desire to prove that the other guy or “the system” is in fact the asshole.
I should probably know this but are those filters usable with animation / transition. For example, color photo (no filter) to b&w filter? Or b&w filter to color photo (no filter)

This. I'm really bummed that so many of these things-- OpenMosix, OpenSSI, Kerrighed, etc, have died.

There's a lot of utility in stitching together many systems into one-- a middle ground between loosely coupled application-controlled distributed concurrency and tightly coupled SMP/NUMA.

Like if you want a big multiuser build farm, for instance, where you're not drowning in IPC and synchronization, but not everything maps well to distcc.
+1 request for automator on iOS?
Thats the first user requirement. You forgot this one

2. Never be vulnerable to known attacks.
Sure, and I think it's great that someone is serving that market need, if indirectly, but the kosher phone exists for religious reasons; purchases by non-Orthodox Jews is incidental.
that means this filter is working as intended. from the article:

> Please note that this post is intended to help with vetting of software engineering candidates at early-stage startups with significant technical complexity.

candidates at early stage start ups need to sacrifice time, energy, and effort in a manner that's not based on hourly compensation for the company to hockey stick.

it's critical to filter out people who aren't willing to do this. the proof is in the pudding: all the people volunteering time/effort, freely, to get better scores on the gold mine game... after they're hired.

not to say those aren't redeeming qualities for talented software engineers. they're just using this curiosity/drive as a signal for "willing to work on cool stuff above and beyond normal salaried expectations, and not ask too many questions about how they will benefit".

there's an obvious tie in to age here as well (younger people are less committed to external causes e.g. relationships, have weaker boundaries generally, more able to be starry eyed, etc.)
> Why it this all apple's fault? I don't think it is unreasonable to ask for a privacy policy.

Apple didn't say this was a privacy policy issue, why do you think it is?

> One fix, developers should be able to pay $500 to [...]

So by default if Apple rejects you and refuses to give a reason, you should have the "opportunity" of paying them $500 so Apple tells you what Apple already knows? What a deal!
I can understand going out of business. I don't understand how it happens so suddenly from one day to the next to the point where people had no way to get home. Like, when those people booked their vacations, or even when they departed on their vacations, Thomas Cook just had no idea that they wouldn't have the funds to complete their trips? Do they just not look at their accounting statements and bank balances or something? How does something like that come as a surprise?
Absolutely not. These are among the best features; in any language that has modern control flow, I rarely if ever use old-fashioned loops.
> We freak out when we see @ObjC or NSObject usage in our codebase.

…how are you interacting with UIKit?!
When someone doesn't have proper privacy policy links, Apple points this out very specifically and quickly accepts the app after it's fixed. I've seen them accept policies as simple as a plaintext link containing "We don't store any of your data".
I don't think that they understood your next level satire.
I've done this once or twice in the past without any problems.
Maybe, maybe not. It sounds to me like they revoked the app because they didn't want users to suffer a critical bug until they could put out a fix. I think that's a good thing and I see no reason why it should trigger an investigation, but we'll never know because of Apple's lack of transparency.
Then why do you, and the links you post, insist on debunking newspaper articles? Seems like a classic straw man. Go debunk the primary sources.
Yeah, it legit turned into horror at one point - it's been a while since a book gave an adrenaline rush. Loved it.
More to the point, part of publishing on the App Store is fulfilling the requirements. If the requirements include you must send a video to them of you standing on your head and blowing a party whistle, that's what you have to do. If you don't want to, you're free to not develop for Apple devices.

That you get away with not doing it for any amount of time is not an excuse. It's Apple's sandbox; play by their rules, or play elsewhere.
Hawaii has enough arable land to support the number of people living here. It's their distribution that's problematic. Everything is in the wrong place to make efficient use of the land.

I live out here in the pacific, I travel all over Oahu every day. People lived here for over a thousand years without foreign goods. The food scarcity is manufactured to suck money back to the mainland U.S.
Sort-of. It’s in NSKeyedArchiver, and iMessage calls it. https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2019/08/the-fully-rem... (Found via https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/search?q=8641):

”Another interesting question about NSKeyedArchiver serialization is what happens if a serialized object contains a cycle. […] We looked for vulnerabilities involving cycles and found two such bugs. The first is CVE-2019-8641, which we are not yet disclosing, because its fix did not fully remediate the issue”
When women entered the workforce en masse you had say 60% more workers, but still the same number of jobs. * That's around when wage stagnation started and seems to explain a lot of it. The answer should have been a shorter work week, more maternity/paternity leave, etc.

* Of course some other jobs were created in the process, like more caretaker jobs, and other stuff happened like more automation.
In addition to the excellent recommendations in the comments, you'll want people in place to act a support system. Maybe this is a qualified mental health professional, or an addict group run by a qualified mental health professional.

I believe there is a sexual addiction and/porn addition group in just about every medium-sized city. If you can't find the latter, the former should be able to help direct you to appropriate channels.

You will face great challenges to success without a qualified mental health professional
The article linked is not the one of the actual study. Here is the actual study: https://s18798.pcdn.co/motivationlab/wp-content/uploads/site...
A cursory look shows the study talks about identity projection and actions (law students given extra material and asked to watch it, are less likely to watch it if they have told their observer they are going to watch it). However the difference is 1 minute of less watching and could be attributed to other factors.

Additionally, the same author has published research 5 years later (https://s18798.pcdn.co/motivationlab/wp-content/uploads/site...) that explains goal projection in public places is helpful as " is part of our everyday life and is fostered by high-goal commitment, perceiving others as similar, and ongoing goal striving.". So it is one thing to say you are going to be better at something by own self-study, but another when you are actually pursuing something and need help to achieve it. Announcing something allows you to connect with others sharing the same goal to get help or community, and shows you continue to be committed.

Feel free to read the studies and see if you can draw other conclusions, but this is not as black and white as the article claims.
Historically humans have asked this of other humans which typically are the darkest parts of our history where we devalued one another. Perhaps the Octopus is just happy with its lot. They also don't live very long only a handful of years, which is also testament to just how smart they actually are.
Business idea: Privacy zones. No photography, no video-recording, no audio-recording. In fact, maybe some venues would even ban phones (like a SCIF!).

And, facial ID scanning at the door to ban repeat offenders.

For sex and swinger clubs this would be ideal. Keeps the privacy of the inside intact.
Once the author is done digging through her vintage Wired magazines, she should find some copies of Mondo 2000. That was like Wired on LSD. Overtly anarchist, hardcore techno-futurist, deep into art and mind-expanding drugs, it was so much more aggressive than the relatively mainstream views of Wired.

One of my favorite interviews ever was in Mondo 2000. They interviewed the Edge, from U2 - but he was interviewed by the band Negativland (he did not know this in advance). Now, at this time, Negativland was in the process of being sued into oblivion by U2's record label. They were a cut-up band, tearing up bits of popular culture and reassembling it in interesting ways, and they were right at the bleeding edge of the then-nascient sampling debate. Negativland had released an album called U2, with a picture of a U-2 spy plane and the name "U2" printed in huge letters filling the cover, while "Negativland" was rendered in much smaller letters - basically, toying with the U2 trademark for artistic purposes. The record also had some U2 samples, although it was mostly just other samples.

Of course, the label sued. And the Edge had sort of heard about it, but didn't really know anything, even though this was supposedly being done in his name. So the band explains what they do, and he's really intrigued and wants a copy of the album, and they tell him he can't have one.

Holy hell, that was hilarious. But that's what Mondo 2000 was. Wired would never do such a stunt.
same. it is a shame they do not live longer!
Excavations at Göbekli Tepe indicate that religion may have predated agriculture, perhaps dating back to the end of the Pleistocene. If a neurological basis for religion exists, such structures would hint at an evolutionary selection which made religion advantageous for survival.

I don't know anything about a single founding culture, but reading about Indo-European root words fires up one's imagination.
how session support is different from cookie?
Out of curiosity, what benefit would getting rid of cookies have? And what would be a better way to implement a similar feature?
I do, but I also switched back to Firefox recently (after using Chrome for ten years) and it's slower. What _is_ the fastest feature-complete browser in 2019?
This is tremendously foolish reasoning. You're basically saying, "after we burn everything down, people will naturally come to the obvious conclusion that my politics are the Objectively Correct ones".

Which... no. What people want first and foremost is safety and stability, and after everything burns down, the easiest way to get that is by putting an authoritarian strongman into power. Which, historically, has been the outcome of almost every large-scale revolution except the American one.

(As an aside, I don't know if you're American, but if you are, I will note that an unfortunate effect of the American Revolution is that it tends to give Americans a very optimistic view of how well revolutions work out. They don't really realize that theirs is a miraculous outlier; it's almost the only revolution which didn't put an authoritarian government into power for years or decades)
To be clear, at Firebase, we held these kinds of discussions in addition to the technical assessment. A portion of my section of the interview process was usually to do a deep dive on a recent interesting project that the candidate had worked on, either sourced from their resume or just by asking. You're right that you can often tell their level of involvement by seeing how quickly the well of details dries up.

There are tradeoffs, but I found it to be an overall net positive in addition to the technical assessment. Doing this effectively requires that the interviewer have a pretty broad exposure to lots of different technology, otherwise you can't distinguish between someone BSing their role vs something you just don't know a lot about / can't ask intelligent questions about. It's also incredibly subjective, which would make me hesitant to rely on it without more objective criteria.
Hello. I'd like to share one slightly tangential anecdote and observation regarding this.

I have a friend who was in a PhD in Physics program at CalTech. Absolute genius of a kid, and was surrounded by other people who are incredibly smart. My friend was always a very ambitious person, and wanted to join Wall Street as a quant after completing his PhD because he was interested in maximizing his income, and found the problems presented in finance/markets more compelling than those found in academia.

When he intimated this to people in the Department, they looked at him as if he had suddenly grown tentacles, because it's unbelievable to them that anyone would want to do something other than academia. This is a stark contrast to friends I have at places like Stanford, where no one quite frankly cares.

This doesn't touch on any alleged bad behavior or stress or pressures or experiences that people have while in grad school, but I believe that the cultural forces at institutions govern how people feel pretty strongly. That isn't a profound observation or even revealing, but I just thought that people would like to see a quick human anecdote to maybe relate to people going through this.
Makes sense since it saves them a tremendous amount of back and forth with the developers when they're as specific as possible.
There's nothing unconventional about for/in loops on Apple's platforms. Even in Objective-C, NSFastEnumeration has been the recommended default loop mechanism for a decade+ now.
Not bad, except the thesis involved social capital, not actual cash.

The actual app was “mafia” branded, playing off of Mafia Wars which was big at the time. Your friends on the app would motivate you with virtual gifts and (naturally) virtual threats, like posting a dead fish on your wall.
That, interestingly enough, is not really a matter of concern for the courts.
I think of David Brin's fascinating article that touches on Dolphins:

http://www.davidbrin.com/nonfiction/dogmaofotherness.html
I'm not aware of the details. but from my (admittedly non-empirical data) that this experience is not uncommon. When Apple thinks there's a problem, big applications are more likely to get quick communication from Apple and small ones get tend to get drawn-out silence.I hear about it from friends, coworkers and my own experience.

This makes sense in a realpolitik way - Apple has a monopoly on mobile app profits. Where else can you go? Apple is not trying to smash small devs, but they also know they have very little pressure to provide great service to small devs.
> Leave activism to western social media platforms with their trail of failed revolutions, genocide and death.

The last (failed) revolution in America was 150 years ago. China has not once gone 50 years without a revolution in the last 400 years. [1]

I support different countries trying different things, but Revolution is not a western problem. (And someone else can make claims about the definition of Genocide.)

That's only true at low penetration of renewables. When you approach 100% clean energy, even current new nuclear actually looks just as cheap or cheaper as the combination of curtailment (i.e. over-building nameplate capacity and throwing away much of the energy), storage, and transmission you need to produce reliable power with wind and solar alone.

(and for the same reason, we should be looking at expanding hydro and geothermal)

So while I definitely think we should build solar and wind, it's ridiculous to just dismiss nuclear out of hand for cost reasons if the goal is 100% clean energy (unless you have, say, massive amounts of hydro power).

Given the climate emergency, it's silly to pit one clean energy project against another when in fact we need all we can get. Particularly in the case of variable renewables, as they benefit tremendously from being in a source-diverse power grid.
>Essentially Dropbox is arguing that, due to the way they have implemented it, the feature does require this information sharing.

I'm honestly curious, which part of the feature requires every user to know every other user who has viewed the page?

The line drawn by many vegetarians and vegans is a lack of a central nervous system - but even they admit this is arbitrary.
Imagine if Jeffrey Epstein had access to a legal mechanism which enabled him to attempt scrubbing of news/article/forum references of him from the web, beyond just his narrow legal conviction.

Chances are he would still be banging 12 year olds today and Bill Clinton would be smiling ear to ear. (JK obviously on that last one, but my below point will alleviate your suspicions.)

You may not like some speech, namely against you. I may not like certain speech either. But to establish this kind of legal precedent is foolish. What is next, prior restraint with regards to anyone mentioned in an article? I'm sure Big Daddy Donnie Trump would love that one lol.

Free speech is messy as fuck. Look at this "fake news" stuff for the past 3 years. Is it really fake? Debatable. Is it news? In most cases, yes.

Legitimate question I pose: Does free speech extend to deep fakes? (Finally those believing in the Clintons being child sacrificing cultists can be proven true!) This has the potential to get real messy real fast. Hopefully someone with a IEEE/DARPA-level big brain figures out a way to validate videos etc.
People whose income is generated from the management of their estate or finances. A gentleman.

The way I learned, gentlemen could support themselves from the fruits of their investments alone and did not need to labor to afford their expenses.

You didn't need to have great wealth to be a gentleman, but you couldn't afford to rise in your station without it.

Some say that the founder of Buzzfeed Jonah Peretti is an accelerationist.

Peretti's academic writings offer one clue.

In brief, the paper argues that, going forward, capitalism will need to be constantly producing identities for people to adopt at an ever-increasing rate. And now Peretti's at the helm of a firm that's doing exactly that.

Coincidence?

Board level EE here of about 15 years here. Right now the most advanced PCB layout tool is Allegro which can route up to 20 positive layers. BUT, the autorouter is unusable. Wonder why Apple/Google/LAB126/MSFT maintain an army of "eCAD" engineers. If you can point me in the direction of any publication that your "internal project" has contributed to that would be great. IMHO, PCB layout is the most underappreciated engineering task in product development right now. At the speeds of PCI-E Gen4 the traditional lumped elements theory no longer hold good. So, interested to see whats coming my way so that i can be ready to pivot when "computers can actually make computers themselves".
Selling stuff, doing deals. Some people gravitate to the award-winning trope.

If you need to get something difficult done, awards (other than academic) in my experience are a warning signal. People who are thinking about awards are always a problem.

Unfortunately wind/solar aren't a complete solution[1]. Batteries are several orders of magnitude too expensive to solve for the Tokyo problem (days without power) and producing things like steel and concrete. Nuclear offers a solution and is deployable today. And yeah, really should've been done a long time ago.

It literally does reach that point overnight - they’re told they’re bankrupt and that’s it the operation shuts down. If they said they thought they might go bankrupt so weren’t going to fly more passengers out then that would cause the bankruptcy immediately, so wouldn’t put anyone in a better position. There is no wind-down time with this process, they’re just done.

For years I had a pristine inaugural copy of Wired in a cherished spot in my living room mantle bookcase. My wife threw it out.
I would guess there are two possible benefits:

1: publicity from being on the list, which FastCo presumably promotes at least once during the year (and probably leave up during the year)

2: being able to say you were selected for FastCo's list, which presumably gives you cred among certain groups. I do wonder if you might be held in lower regard by people who are aware that the competition costs so much just to enter.
