Not sure why you've been downvoted--it's really tough to know what skills will be marketable in 4+ years when choosing what to concentrate on in college.

In my schooling, I really optimized for the math+stats background, since I enjoyed it and thought it would help me stand out. I even took a short detour into a machine learning PhD before deciding academia isn't for me and leaving with an MS. Now I'm on the job market, and although I have modest coding/engineering skills and a willingness to learn, it's tough to find a company willing to take the risk. Guess I min/maxed a little too much.

Best of luck in your search!
The problem with such courses is that "massive" tend to change every year in exponential manner.

For example, if I can have a single machine with 32 cores and 1TB memory? what is massive in this context?

(replying to the pre-edit comment, as I think that can be insightful)

I do agree that open office looks a lot less depressing than a cubicle farm; being able to see a large area tends to be more pleasing than lots of obstructions. However, actually having the same amount of people (or, usually, more people because that's why they have open offices in the first place) can cause issues due to the more intense noise and distractions. But that wouldn't be visible in a quick visit; it would need to come out over a prolonged period of working in that environment. And somehow all the decision makers never actually work in the middle of the open plan office…
I'm pretty sure a good accountant can drive semi-truck full of large bills through that.

Reminds me of one theory behind the success of immigrant "model minority" groups dating back to 19th century Jewish emigrants from pogrums being their community support network and a cultural values towards education. Of course none of this is in a vacuum and depends upon the host society and reaction.

I could see easily how refugees forced to cooperate to survive and fleeing horrifying death would support one another when in an unfamiliar new country and knowing there is no hope in heading back.

I wonder how relevant the "hedonic treadmill" is to the phenomenon as well. Motivation and incentives having a positive impact on success is no surprise and unfortunately it isn't as easy or simple as just telling people to get motivated, making things better for them if they succeed, nor making things worse if they don't. Nor even more slippery sloped approaches like propaganda for social goods "Black Mirroring" a metric feedback loop that would be dystopian even if it worked.

As stupid as it sounds, yoga, surfing, working out and writting helped me.

Narcism is a defense, a self preservation strategy. I have it when I am not feeling well. So I do things that make me feel good (yoga, surfing, workout). As an introvert with narcistic tendencies it helps when I write my thoughts, so I can shelf them instead of thinking the same things over and over again.

Oh yeah, a good therapist is also a fine thing.

The public has shown one preference, above all else, when it comes to flying: pricing. The 737 MAX will be renamed, re-certified and nobody but an obsessive minority will avoid flying on it.

> if your drug is better but the market for it is small, your drug won't make it

As written, this is not what actually happens. The only way to know if a drug is "better" is to run expensive (and risky) clinical trials on it. Big Pharma wouldn't even bother going that far if the market isn't sufficient to make a profit - given the extremely high rate of failure in clinical trials, they never would have started the program in the first place.

I realize this may seem like a minor semantic quibble but there is an awful lot of disinformation like "Big Pharma could cure cancer but it's not profitable" floating around.
Honestly, I feel stupid right now. I shouldn't have said what I said. This is what I hate about debating online.

I sincerely hope this is the last time I ever stoop this low and disrespect someone. Again, I'm sincerely sorry for my words man.

Isn't that the one big situation where null safety really shines? Something that used to be required is now optional, so, you need to visit all the use sites to figure out what a sensible behaviour is when the data isn't there.

Without null safety that could be quite tricky, especially when combined with type inference. The value could be stored and used only later, for instance. The compiler flagging where those fields are used without a null check is convenient, it tells you exactly where to insert new code to handle the missing data.

This scenario of an interviewee answering with the name of a religious text is an interesting point; transparency in interviewing is a two-way street.

In a way, I can understand why people get tripped up on the "casual/lifestyle" question. Interviewees may not think of it as a casual question, but rather another question to weed out the desirables from the undesirables. So people may censor themselves or their honest beliefs because they want the job. Which is a position I totally understand.
Of course they do, they actually need senior knowledege.
I've seen a lot of people who were given senior titles without the accompanying knowledege, its really polluted the talent pool.

True enough for modern commercial airliners; I can't help but point out that plenty of aircraft have "perfect" (read: non-existent) software.

> if they can just turn their chair around

By definition, there can only be max four people (usually less) you can just “turn your chair around and talk to” without shouting over somebody else’s head - or just getting up and walking over to where they are just as you would if people had cubes. Your insinuation that this is possible or meaningful is so obviously disingenuous that I’m having a hard time you’re making it in good faith: if you’d tried it for even a few hours you’d be able to see the flaw in it.
I thought about doing that, but if someone wants my VIN, they just have to squat down and look at the VIN that's punched in the frame of my truck.

I haven't checked other vehicles, but I imagine they also have their VINs punched in the frame where it's easily visible.

I don't know if it's against the law to grind that off, but it's probably not against the law to weld a metal plate over it.

It's a core narc trait to not acknowledge their own behavior.
Well, that's exactly the point, in a way.

Sitting in an open-plan office lets you know that you're not "worth it". That you're not respected. And you're way too distracted to actually get much done. So you zone out with music, watch YouTube, hang out on HN, etc.

And then, because you're not productive, you're condemned to an open-plan future :(
I guess the idea is that since I'm not so great, best to look for something greater.

No. You have parents that are not able to attend to pre-school education, whether it's a time or money issue, or even an education issue themselves. And then you have children, let down by parents who were let down by society, who are ashamed of how far behind they are.

The idea that you can further shame people into "shaping up" is farcical. Please stop being part of the problem.
Is this really a surprise?

There's so much more to capital than assets! While often asset-poor, a lot of immigrants to the west have considerable intellectual capital and good social capital among their community. Even when foreign diplomas are judged worthless, the fact that the individual was able to acquire them in his country still probably places him in the top percentile of his home nation. And the immigrant community often serves as a pipeline for employment, no matter what the skill level.

Even if two third (that's the number claimed) came through family migration, it doesn't really matter as the first person that's sponsoring them had to get selected in the first place through employment. Even if the initial sponsor went to some diversity lottery, I suppose applying and meeting all requirements still requires a little bit of education and some financial resources to send the application in the first place.

I would be curious to see the breakdown per initial immigration category and country, with folks coming in from family based immigration counted as the category of the initial sponsor.
Or, as is the case with my family, the US moved to the Mexicans.
Refugees are a vanishingly small portion of immigrants in the US.

There are about 47 million immigrants living in the US[1] and about 267 thousand refugees[2]. There have been an average of more than a million people gaining permanent resident status each year for the past 20 years and less than 100 thousand refugees admitted each year for the same time period[3]. Even in the single highest year ever for refugee admittance, they were only about a quarter of immigrants.

The problem is neither agile nor waterfall.

The problem is applying a methodology because it is the current fad.

Management should be adapted to the conditions: the scale of the project, the nature and availability of the customer, the personalities and roles of the team members,... Sometimes, the best results looks like waterfall, sometimes it looks like agile, sometimes it looks like there is no methodology at all. When things "just work" you don't realize there is a process, that's the sign of a manager doing a good job.
The worst case is usually when a manager follows a methodology "by the book", except for the parts that don't fit or are "too expensive". Not realizing that pieces go together and changing one will affect the others.

The same could be said of design patterns in programming. They are good to know, but they are just guidelines. Using a design pattern for the sake of it usually leads to terrible, often bloated code.
My understanding was that this is also why Gentoo is popular, since you are compiling it all anyway, you may as well compile it all for your specific processor.

> Most attacks from the agile community probably are coming from a place of never having actually seen or practiced the real thing

This is rather my point. In "waterfall" shops I've worked at, the way it has never worked is that the application is completely designed up front, then implemented. The reality is that there has always been iteration involved, and there has always been refining and modification of design, and etc.

The only thing (aside from "ceremonies") I see agile bringing that didn't exist in my experiences with "waterfall" is the notion of bringing the customer in as a constant part of the development process -- which is a welcome addition.

The rest of Agile that I see can be thought of as refinements to waterfall, not as something entirely different.
Key path solves a real problem for me, since you can pass in a function that accepts the value to map which looks really clean, but you cannot operate on the variable unless you create a block.
> This would bankrupt the company.

Is that even possible? From what I understand, it's a strategic company for the United States, so they have to keep it alive no matter what (I recall reading that it's actually a law) - or at least its military branch.
It doesn't change the outcome though: even illegals are more likely to be upwardly mobile _from their lower baseline_. They can't take anything for granted the way a native would.

I observe this in my (upper middle class) son: he thinks he's set for life, and doesn't put in _any_ effort whatsoever. I told him he's on his own when he's 19, he's a mere 3 years away from that mark, and it hasn't yet sunk in. He thinks he will always have upper middle class existence he's currently enjoying, no matter what, even though with his current grades there's no way he will get into a decent college.

I personally was under no such illusion ever in my life, so I worked super hard to get to where I am today.

Accurate time-sensitive communication is very hard in my experience. I've heard thru the grapevine on a few interviews over the years, that often the interviewer gets the wrong impression on some subject. Due to the fact there are say ten+ candidates for a position, one wrong impression is often enough to torpedo your chances.

For example, I'm good at what I do, but not the kind of person to brag about it (hah). In fact I instinctively tend to downplay things I've done as no big deal. In some sense true, but in an interview it's enough to lose the offer. Trying to correct this but it is not easy.

Once I was referred to a position by a colleague, but didn't get it. Weeks later I heard, "not enough db experience." What? While I don't write SQL every day, I've used dbs consistently over decades, know the theories, etc. Sure, I might need to hit the manual for a week to get up to speed, but that is incredibly common and no hurdle whatsoever.

So, post-interview feedback is good, but asking questions/feedback during the interview itself would have been a lot better. I wonder if (when there are so many candidates), interviewers don't want to revisit past assumptions and prefer to just get on to "the next one."
> In both of those cases an causal link was established.

Eventually, after science, and decades of politics and deliberate disinformation.

Look we know light pollution is a thing, right?

And these transmitters are lights, right?

To me it seems unscientific to think that these lights don't cause some sort of pollution just because they don't tickle the cells in our retinas.

> Unless you have actual evidence cell phones cause cancer you can't say something is bad because you feel like it might be bad in the same way you can't say vaccines are evil because they feel like they might be bad.

I hope it's clear that I am pro-science, and want more science, not less.

You can't find evidence of a causal link between EM transmitters and cancer (or other problems) if you're not looking, or ignoring the people who are looking, which is the point of the lawsuit.

It did take it into account, but the incorrect angle reporting was not severe enough to result in the sensor being marked as faulty. From the sound of things it was designed to deal with large bit flips, sensor jamming the the home position or sensor misalignment (which is at fixed angles because of the mounting holes) rather than the sensor jamming in other positions or being horribly miscalibrated.

The company that repaired the sensor used in the Lion Air Flight did loose their license to repair any and all certified avionics parts and is probably out of business at this point. Donno about the technician that forged the post-install tests of that sensor.
