Not mistreat Chinese employee per say. The individual is operating under big stress, and the manager is deliberately playing politics to prevent him switching teams, threatening to put his job at jeperody.

I don't feel like this is engineered to target Chinese. But if all proven, Facebook's internal culture seems fucked up...Maybe that is why it doesn't want even its employees to talk about it.
I assume they're mostly RPC, and one procedure is one 'microservice'.

There seems to be a bit of difference in what people mean by 'microservices' - some orgs will have a few REST collections per 'service' so you might end up with 'users', 'products', 'transactions' as your three services, and it being totally unimaginable that you'd ever break 1000.

I'd argue that's still a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), but I'm sure it's not anywhere near as 'micro' as what Monzo counts over a thousand of.
Yeah, I believe it is Taleo where you have to re-enter all the info from your resume multiple times as you go through a 6 step portal. I absolutely hate that interface although thankfully most places I want to work at now don’t use it anymore

I don’t know the name of it but I’ve seen a lot of places now with a single screen portal which I love, just enter your name, answer the self reporting crap, maybe select what position/location you’re interested in, drop your resume, and you’re done.

I have no idea why that wasn’t the flow from the beginning.

I agree that these kinds of study lead to problematic analysis, but it seems weird to say we should stop doing them.

Perhaps simply not drawing false conclusions from them would be better.

That is definitely not the case. Multiple source in the conversation have leaked that it was greenlit. This is one of the president's own people: https://www.newsweek.com/exclusive-official-who-heard-call-s...

What you have to do is walk the linear (or whatever) probe sequence completely to find two elements: the to-be-deleted element, and the last element in the sequence. Then if the to-be-deleted element exists, and is the same as the last element, we just mark that element as a free slot. Otherwise, we move the last element over the to-be-deleted element and mark last element's slot free.

Of course, "the last element" has to be one which belongs to the original starting hash slot S. We must check that its hash value odulo the table size is S. The first element that we encounter which not followed by an occupied slot is not necessary that last element.
I worked at a place where I was able to focus on maintainability for a few months. We were seeing about 30 PagerDuty alerts per month. Through a combination of bug resolution and auto scaling, we got it to an average of less than two pages a month. Moving to AWS Aurora removed the final 2.

Eventually the entire system self supported...and was retired a year later.
You know what irks me? Besides the fact that the fine for not paying is atrociously high, besides the fact that such a transgression can even show up on a Visa query, besides the fact that this couldn’t be resolved without a court, besides the fact that the reporter missed their court date...

What irks me is that some company spent millions of taxpayer dollars designing this contactless payment system and couldn’t be bothered to provide a real-time readout to the ticket inspector where the passenger could just provide their name to confirm they paid.

But even more than that, I irks me that TFA came away from this experience hating Apple Pay. This singular component in the entire chain which was completely blameless.
Trump had a phone call with Erdogan, and later that day tweeted the policy change. That's how pathetic he is, he'll be convinced about anything by the last person he speaks to (IIRC a Dem got a deal about the border with him, but after that the freak Stephen Miller talked to him and he announced the deal was off).

And I do wish the military would stand up against him as a domestic enemy, I want to say following their oath, but looking it up it does say "and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States", so it seems either way they're going to break said oath.

I wonder how the military can determine that someone is a domestic enemy (of the constitution). Can they do their own investigation? If it's the president they're investigating, would that be considered planning a coup?
In fairness, when was the last time you read a story like this one?

Chrome updates constantly and regresses nearly never. It's actually impressive how rarely this happens given the complexity of HTML. Slow IT departments delaying useful upgrades is an everyday occurrence though.
And so you sell out and instantly betray your allies against ISIS the second they're not immediately useful anymore?

Aside from the deeply troubling morality expressed there, you're setting yourself up to never have local allies in any future conflicts as we can all see just how well that's worked out in the past.

The answer to "how do we not fund and die in foreign wars?" isn't "go to war in foreign countries over and over again and then abandon our allies as soon as our immediate objectives are apparently met", it's gotta be more like "stop picking fights in foreign countries".

In America at least, black clothing (typically formal wear, the specifics vary from place to place) is strongly associated with mourning. It's traditional garb at funerals and gatherings to pay respects for the departed. This may be different in other countries, and it's not a universal practice, but it's common enough that most everyone understands the meaning.

Microservices generally have 0-10 RPC handlers (we use https://github.com/monzo/typhon). We have a lot of different object types at Monzo, it goes way beyond 'transaction' or 'user' and each object type is going to be at least one service, but can be several. Services that mostly just consume off queues are often separated from services that handle requests so they can scale separately.

It even works with GnuPG! You will need to create ~/.gnupg/sshcontrol[1], then run:

$ export SSH_AUTH_SOCK=$(gpgconf --list-dirs agent-ssh-socket)
$ gpg-agent --enable-ssh-support

If you get an error[2] when you are trying to ssh into a machine, you may need:

$ gpg-connect-agent updatestartuptty /bye > /dev/null

For information as to how to create an authentication subkey: https://www.gniibe.org/memo/software/gpg/keygen-25519.html

[1] You need to add your authentication subkey's keygrip which you can get using: gpg --list-keys --with-keygrip or the like. Separate the keygrips with a newline, and IIRC you need to have a newline at the end of the file as well.

By doing both? Both the family and the company want to avoid a media blowup about the death, so keeping quiet protects both the family and Facebook's corporate interests (and probably also the mental health of other employees).

The argument people are making is that it doesn't protect society's interests, but as far as I can tell, Facebook isn't claiming it is.
If you are very relaxed, but persistently unable sleep. But are not alarmed about not being able to sleep anymore, and in a state of almost like not thinking. You may suddenly experience a throbbing sensation in the head/neck, a pulsing in this state.

Normally this enough to trigger alarm in the conscious and fully wake you up. But after this happens many times you can become expectant of it and just let it happen a little longer because you are not immediately alarmed.
The way these tools are developed is by doing and then replicating and analyzing these studies. (maybe thats what the intent behind "collecting and curating" was?)

Sort of.

Though the tumbler was invisible, and hence, not perceptible. You could go through any number of cases of phenomena throughout history, such as the germ theory of disease, prions, electromagnetic force, subatomic particles, or mental health, all of which have, at least by current reckoning, some level of cause or mechanism, but which were seen as beyond description or explanation in the past.

The case especially of moving from some sort of divine or moral explanation, as has been the case for both infectious and (somewhat still the case) mental illness is a critical one. Similarly for natural phenomena (comets, asteroid impacts, earthquakes, volcanoes, cyclonic storms), often seen in the past as portents of the gods / a god, rather than events with specific causal mechanisms.

There are several Big Problems currently facing humanity which are straddling this manifest/not-manifest cusp, with media manipulation and global warming being two of the more prominent.

This isn't about being caught without cash. Whenever I've gone to London I've used my contactless credit card to pay for transport, not because I don't carry cash, but because it's convenient -- you just hold it near the gate and go through; no need to visit a ticket machine.

A problem with this convenience is that you don't get any kind of physical receipt to prove you paid. Perhaps in my case, a ticket inspector could scan my credit card to check it was used to pay, but in the case of a dead phone, it can't be queried.
It's a matter of scale. How many experience covert ops / TAO teams do you think the FBI has? Are they going to do a covert entry to your basement, deploy a custom software or hardware implant, watch you, retrieve their implant, etc? They would have to have probably cause, and in any case they don't have the budget or people to do many.

And you can actually make it incredibly hard quite easily -- do everything on an ipad with a strong passphrase and no network connection (except occasionally to get software updates from Apple), keep it in a decent tamper evident safe (not a money safe), a painfully loud alarm with PIRs, in a location where people are around.

Contrast that with surveillance via grep.
Taking an algorithm for a QC and turning it into software for a QC is a very strange task not for the normal dev. I imagine many are offering software (QSoftware?)
He's not showing restraint. He's trying to get what he wants without spending money, risking his ratings, and making the world notice. He's showing as much restraint as someone who, to avoid making noise, prefers strangling to shooting.
I'm a little confused; the system mentioned in this article allows services to retrieve secrets in plaintext; they're just stored encrypted at rest. You can do what you like with the retrieved secret.

Right, but normalizing to the price of bread and milk is even more ridiculous than normalizing to the federal budget, which is not excellent for this purpose, as you point out.

2 months ago I discovered Kepler[0] a tool by Uber for visualizing geo data. It has been of tremendous help when analyzing large geospatial datasets. It allows me to quickly visualize the results of my computations, and spot anomalies and patterns that I wouldn't have noted without it.

This seems to be a similar tool, but for charting non-geographic datasets. It should also be extremely useful.

I am glad companies are making these tools available for the masses.

Last week Microsoft Research posted an interesting talk by Kevin Buzzard [1] from Imperial College London about how he wants to formalize all mathematics with theorem provers. He's currently using LEAN [2]. Half of the talk is a discussion of the challenges he's faced convincing other mathematicians that this is valuable, and the other half is about his success using LEAN as a tool to teach undergraduates about formal proofs in general.

I think Alloy was mentioned at the end, but not really compared to LEAN.

Author, here. curlconverter gets about 17k unique users per month. The code generated by this tool is probably in production all over the world.

But the codebase needs maintenance! I hired a junior developer (cf512) to do about 40 hours of dev work last month, but that contract has ended and I'd appreciate more volunteers. All the code is open source.

I see a few bug reports down thread. Please open tickets.

A big thanks to the top contributors, csells and jgroom33. Many others have pitched in over the last five years. Also, big thanks to Daniel Stenberg for writing curl in the first place.

You're thinking about this very much from a techy point of view.

We have a similar value prop with our platform (we store PII including actual identity documents).

It's not about making it impossible for users to download and store sensitive data. Everyone knows that that's impossible - yet somehow Snapchat and its disappearing messages is still a thing.

Instead, it is intended to be coupled with policies. As long as the company has a policy against downloading/storing confidential information, then the company is covered.

Then, when a case of e.g identity theft happens through a rogue employee, the company can demonstrate that it has taken all reasonable steps to avoid it.

That is a much better position than showing up in court and saying "yeah, we didn't try to prevent people from downloading PII, that's impossible anyway".
I agree, I had this discussion with a coworker the other day. So many tools are used because either an executive got marketed to effectively by the tool provider.
In a sense these are different uses of a computer for graphics: one is a medium of human visual expression, which is Photoshop’s forte, while “delete the apple” is more like delegating a functional task to an independent contractor. I don't think one is likely to entirely replace the other, just as Photoshop hasn't replaced netpbm, photography hasn't replaced painting (even if we do more painting in PS than with paint nowadays), and the city bus hasn't replaced dancing or skateboarding, even though all of them are ways to move your body.

There are certainly some uses of PS that things like caption-to-image GANs will replace. Analogously, last night I spent quite a while with the expressive, high-bandwidth, direct-manipulation interface of a box cutter cutting cardboard, for something I'd much rather be doing with a laser cutter cutting shapes generated from a constrained-optimization algorithm. At least this time I managed to only cut the cardboard.

Texture synthesis is a really interesting tool for both purposes. There are a lot of amazing papers in recent SIGGRAPHs with new algorithms for this kind of thing.

But your example doesn't disclose anything at all - those cases have nothing to do with one another. The US loses nothing of any value by admitting that a bunch of leaked videos, confirmed by former pilots, are real. This isn't comparable at all to disclosing that the US military is in possession of a magical technology, not to mention details on how to build it.
