Hi HN. I’ve been stuck homeless for almost 2 years. I’m mentally sound and sober, but have no support network. They were mostly gone when I quit drinking and became vegetarian. I can’t get through a Google-style interview right now, but I’ve done it 5+ times in my career. My experience goes back to 2003ish, and I got a CS degree in 2011. I am stuck in trauma from being homeless and have legal problems with a past employer that I don’t want to talk about. I perform well at every service and labor job that I take, few guess that I’m homeless or ask questions. I’m hoping to get off the street in a transitional job and ease into more specialized work, my plan allows for me to get off the street and save on $2,000/mo. Thanks.
Come on, I don't disagree with you. But when I was a kid and I first found out about calendar proposals with blank days it all seemed magical to me and it just seems weird to me (with regard to this topic) to think about practicalities.

Maybe this is the decade that web developers will finally stop using dynamic databases for static content.

I'll predict the opposite. Web stacks will get even more unnecessarily complex and buggy. Investment sizes, late-stage development cycles, and page size, will continue to grow toward infinity while startup success rates drop closer to zero. Page load times on the best available connection and hardware will remain constant as it always has.
Cars are less safe in North America, since they're very often SUVs, trucks etc. Those have terrible results for the pedestrian in a collision.

A typical European car hitting a pedestrian at 30mph is 80% survivable.

(This road safety video is 14 years old now, and since then some places in the UK have managed to introduce 20mph limits, which are even better.)

Discovery App | Junior PHP Developer | Full-Time | Remote or On-Site | Pittsburgh, PA

Discovery's app allows business to audit invoices at the line item level. The system empowers users to audit 100% of their expenses, where their current process may be exception-based ("only audit invoices over $X", etc).

By extracting every invoice at the line item level, we are able to provide powerful reporting for industries like Waste & Recycling, where data is still locked on Invoice PDFs and not available over API.

We're looking for a junior PHP developer to join our team full-time and learn from us. The project runs in Laravel, but is not using the Eloquent ORM, and uses a powerful data-mapper (built on top of the illuminate/database package) to allow for very complex domain-driven entities.

Interesting article, thanks for the link. Would you be in favor of scrapping all social programs and instead and replacing them with something similar to a negative income tax? It seems reducing regulatory burden and possible points of corruption could really help those in need

CyberArk (Conjur team) | Backend / DevOps / Security | NEWTON, MA | FULL-TIME
The CyberArk Conjur team helps people write super reliable software that's hard to hack. We're building tools that make the best security practices convenient for developers, ops, and security teams. We're hiring engineers to help with that effort.

ABOUT US

We're a busy team, thanks to the increasing success of our product: the Conjur appliance secures the entire software development and deployment lifecycle for companies who want to ship features as fast as possible without increasing their risk of security breaches.

Conjur engineers work on a wide variety of projects, from integrations with some of today's most popular DevOps tools to moonshot projects that seek to revolutionize the way engineering teams factor in security when deploying applications.

We know that if you're a professional engineer, experience with specific tools or languages can usually be picked up quickly. That being said, Conjur engineers use and integrate with the following tools on a more-or-less daily basis:

* Golang, Ruby, Rails, Postgres, and JS

* Docker, Git, and Jenkins

* Kubernetes, OpenShift, Cloud Foundry

* Ansible, Puppet, Chef

Yes but isn’t this a bit like comparing git / bitkeeper vs subversion / perforce?

Basically, one is decentralized and you can set up a massively parallel architecture, with eg each topic or subthread having its own pubsub.

The other is a monolithic centralized pubsub architecture.

You could argue that git in large institutional projects converges to a monolithic repo so at that point it’s less efficient even than svn.

But for most use cases, ZeroMQ would allow far more flexible distributed systems topologies and solutions. No?

Depends on the country I suppose. In Romania doing 150 km/h in a 50 km/h area is pretty common, and generally speaking reckless driving, road rage and a handful of other things where cameras would help. Oh, and the government made it to phone recorded incidents are not acceptable proof in court, unless the recording device is government licensed (needless to say the licensing process is not clear). In countries where people drive responsibly generally speaking, cameras might only marginally improve things, but in Romania it would mean a reduction in the thousands of preventable deaths happening each year.

This was covered extensively in high school American History courses (in NYC in the 1970s) and in my college's required American History courses.

And even though the range of History studies is now much broader than when I went to high school, the current California public school curriculum still includes it.

We lack evidence that's what happened.

If you assign people randomly to labels that are supposed to be disjoint from their attributes (but you use the pejorative names of real attributes), there's a non-zero chance you'll randomly assign someone to the group named by the pejorative version of an attribute they have.

It's not that simple. Yes, dairy fats lend themselves to satiety but that doesn't mean all fats do. There's lots of unhealthy fats and even some healthy ones that don't lend themselves to higher satiety: take a look at the Holtz Satiety studies: http://www.mendosa.com/satiety.htm

They clearly show Croissants, cakes, Doughnuts and even Peanuts have very low satiety. Sure, eggs, cheese and beef do okay, but they're still beaten by apples, oranges, oatmeal and potatoes.

And, let's not loose sight of the fact that health is important too, and there's lots of fats out there that don't do your health good.

If my "modern philosophy course" you mean a course dealing with only modern philosophy, then of course not: they're not seeking to delve into the ancient history, but deal with whatever era is on the docket. That's not the point of the course. But philosophy majors at many universities do have to deal with that as well. It just isn't the focus of a course in modern or contemporary phil.

But as for courses dealing with presocratic philosophy, history of ancient Greek philosophy, mathematic and science ... They most certainly do exist and deal with exactly this legacy.
Hate speech is not about violence though. Plenty of countries have laws against incitement to violence without having hate speech laws. Take the United States as an example. Harassment and incitement to violence can still be illegal without hate speech laws. The Cambridge dictionary says this:

>public speech that expresses hate OR encourages violence towards a person or group based on something such as race, religion, sex, or sexual orientation

Notice the "or". Simply expressing hate is enough by this definition, which is clearly not violence.

>Doesn't mean your message must be popular or in line with the popular views of society at the time.

Religious people argued in the past that gay marriage is not okay because it goes against their religion. If they had had hate speech laws then they probably would've used them against advocates of gay marriage.

It's one of the methods to broadcast that Japan is looking to prosecute Ghosn. The red notice doesn't restrict travel, it aids in awareness. It's an important distinction.

There are lots of ways to restrict travel that don't involve public red notices.

The red notice can help build a case for detention by a third party, but again, it wouldn't have to be public to do that.

Finally, a third party country has to make a lot of practical political and legal decisions around a red notice hit.

1 - do you/can you legally detain, and on what grounds?

2 - do you notify the originating country?

3 - do you start extradition to Japan/Japanese authority, or do you deny entry, or do you deport?

Red notices are not uniformly enforced. Assuming a country actually supports action on red notices at all, each country will make it's own decision based on each individual case.

See the historical US treatment of Russian origin red notices.
Never had problems in Germany, ever. And it was not a random check: I was in a line of people waiting, with 2 booths and signs saying passport control. That was after checking my luggage and having already gone through security.

Having my passport checked by border agents to exit a country rubs me the wrong way.

The equivalent here in the US would be if everyone was asked to show a passport by border agents after having gone through the TSA, when flying from say NYC to Miami - not acceptable.

I'd sure like to know if other people also experienced that in the Schengen area.
> And to anyone looking to learn GIS: Post GIS, GDAL and any scripting language will make you more powerful than most of the people I know within the field.

Funny this article was posted today, because yesterday I was looking into rendering a custom map for a ~100x100 km area from OpenStreetMap data for a particular application. I've got basically no experience making maps but I've dabbled with GDAL and Rasterio. I was thinking of using Mapnik with a dump of (part of) the OpenStreetMap database into a local PostGIS instance. Ideally the rendered tiles should be vector format. Do you think this approach seems reasonable or am I missing a potentially simpler way?
Yeah, the prevailing thought was it has to be radioactive or tagged with something that can be seen with IR or something.

I assume the nighttime thing partially has to do with avoiding migrating Canadian Geese, and of course obscured visibility.

It absolutely could be some sort of training program, which seems like the most likely answer, but why lie about it when you've been so readily "caught"?
What would you call it? It feels completely different than any game I've played before.

Your comment makes me look forward to trying an Oculus when I have a chance.
A chip that size, imagine the yield. Equally, cooling - has to be water based as a heatsink that size would be on par to a small anvil and the weight factor would be some serious issues. Though unsure as no pictures of it in-play alas and all they say is - "20 kilowatts being consumed by each blew out into the Silicon Valley streets through a hole cut into the wall", which does somewhat beg for a picture as just raises more questions.

Why would they make a chip this big with AMD showing a chiplet design approach is cheaper and more scalable on so many levels. Let alone, yields.

Equally, arms approach to utilising the back of the chip as a power delivery :- https://spectrum.ieee.org/nanoclast/semiconductors/design/ar...

Then a wafer scale chip like this, using that approach, would save so much power. But again, yeilds will be a factor and can imagine this is not the cutting edge process node as you find as nodes mature, the yields improve. So an older node size would have a better yield and be more suitable for such wafer scale chips. But again, no mention of what is used. I have read in the past that it would use Intel's 10nm, but this article mentions TSMC. Another article I read that they used a 16nm node ( https://fuse.wikichip.org/news/3010/a-look-at-cerebras-wafer... ), which as mentioned above about node maturity, understandable.
Using `.receive()` will occupy a worker thread from node until it returns. Having multiple consumers waiting on receive will clog up the worker threadpool, preventing anything that uses it from running.
If you want to use the consumer right now, I would suggest always using a timeout on the receive call, and waiting between timed-out calls to receive. This is extremely important if you have multiple consumers.
SmartThings | Embedded Software Engineer | Full-Time | ONSITE | Minneapolis, MN

SmartThings is Samsung's home automation platform that uses a cloud-connected hub to control (and be controlled by) both local (Zigbee, Z-Wave, LAN) and Cloud-Connected (Assistant, Ring, etc.) devices. Our biggest claim to fame is that we’re an open platform, anyone can write Device Handlers to support almost any device or SmartApps for completely custom automations. We're a subsidiary of Samsung, but we're a separate company and have largely managed to retain the startup culture.

The team I'm on is hiring an Embedded Software Engineer. We're looking for someone comfortable with developing embedded linux applications. This is for the software that powers the SmartThings hub. It's primarily written in C, but our team is doing almost all Rust, except where we need to hook into existing code.

Change encryption key to random value, discard random value.
Sure, it should take 15 minutes and several flights of stairs to walk across a single street, why not?

Quite a few cities do do this (Florida, I'm looking at you!). It's a terrible design, might as well have a machine that punches all pedestrians in the face as they go by.
My hunch is that standups are pretty useless
on teams where each developer is working on
an independent change where there isn't much
opportunity to get blocked by teammates aside
from waiting for code reviews and the like

Personal anecdote, but I like to know what my teammates are working on even if we're not collaborating directly.

I could (and do) read their commits and PRs, and standups are not a replacement for that, but I think you can usually get a better idea just by chatting for a few minutes each day.

I view the cost of a daily standup as very small (they should be only a few minutes long!) so while some would call the benefits modest, I think the "time spent vs. value obtained" ratio is still very good.
I remember watching that talk years ago. I was disappointed in the lack of rigor of their conclusions.

The whole point of thermite-based HDD destruction is to get the platens over the Curie temperature so the magnetic field is gone, not to physically destroy them. They point this out in the start, but then never talk about whether this was achieved or not in their experiment (assumably so they could go on to the actual explosives).

It was entertainment, and I'd take any results with a grain of salt.
Exactly this. Thousands of USA based companies sell products and services to foreign governments all over the world for the purpose of making more money. Yet no one discusses those companies. Why should Google be put on a pedestal?

Organizations grow and change all the time. People who still think a 20+ year old organization needs to hold fast to its founders roots are holding the company back.

If there is a group of googler's that still believe in the "do no evil" manatra, have them go off and build a nonprofit org that builds services that respect "do no evil". Or improve open source / free services that can compete with Google services.
