Typically, before implementing a feature it'd be nice to have a design for it. Nothing that takes 6 months, though. TLA+ would be really helpful there, especially if you become familiar with it, so that you can answer the "what if" questions.

Yeah, my understanding is the same as yours that equity agreements are the hardest items to negotiate. So hard it's probably impossible unless you would make a strategic impact on the organization.(like you're an executive or one of the top 20 nlp experts in the world)

No founder wants to explain to a potential investor how their equity agreements work and then have to continue with "except Joe"

This looks really cool for kids. But shame it's PS4 only - looks like the studio was bought by Sony 10 years ago. I'm not sure how much of what you learn here using a PS4 game controller is transferrable when a young person graduates to using "real" desktop tools as they get older.

Roblox (the current 8+ kids favourite) also has some elements of this, but it is quite a trashy addiction fueling virtual currency money making ecosystem - good for the company that owns Roblox but not something that I think is great for kids.

In the case of compiler, one solution would be to replace all calls to `malloc` with something like `ccalloc` that simply returns pieces of a `realloc`'d buffer which is freed after the in-IDE compiler has finished compiling.

On the essay form, I don't yet see a mention of the excellent
Essays of E. B. White[1]. Yes, the same one from 'Strunk and White' of The Elements of Style.

Two essays that I still vividly remember from the book (both were written around 1940s):

(1) Coon Tree

(2) Death of a Pig

These are indeed essays with an "an odor of durability", as White puts it while he ruminates in the preface about what he was considering to publish.

Get the entire book[1], his writing reeks with humanity.

You may not have a better way, but one has existed for decades, maybe longer. Combine a personal interview with a company that's worth working for and you'll have no problem finding qualified candidates.

This means one phone screen of about 30-60 minutes to both introduce the candidate and decide if they are worth a follow-up with the team followed by a one hour interview with the whole engineering team more focused on technical capabilities directly related to the job. Finally, just to be sure, a one hour take-home assignment that is simple just to make sure they are not bullshitting. This last one only goes to the top few candidates of which one will be chosen (assuming they can code the simple assignment). People have been hiring this way (ok minus the coding assignment) for decades, maybe even a century or more. And you know what? It works.

Now on to the second requirement: having a company that's worth working for. That means a company that at least partially values its employees. The best way to do this if you don't have FAANG money? Remote work. Ideally for everyone. That guarantees your pool of hiring (even if limited to certain locations for artificial reasons) is much higher and the demand for the job will be huge. Other things that make a company worth working for: good salary, yearly raises, performance bonuses, 40 or less working hours a week, flexible schedule, decent managers who understand engineering, interesting tech, etc. Note that none of those is out of reach of any company, even the smallest small-business.

So yeah, let's stop with this bullshit that we don't know or can't think of a better way to hire. That's idiotic and frankly, closed-minded. Let's stop pretending like there aren't a ton of qualified candidates just waiting to be hired when there are so many. Let's give people a chance for once to prove that they can do the job. Not everyone will work out, but you know what, in the US with at-will employment, that is not a big deal. Doesn't work out, fire them. Easy fucking peasy. If you can't do that, you shouldn't be leading a team/company.

My company currently works this way and we have had NO problem hiring. Whenever we want a great candidate, we go from resumes to hired in less than a month. There is nothing special about us. We don't pay top dollar. We don't even have a lot of the perks I listed above, but we have enough of them that candidates love us and we have no problem attracting great talent (the top one being remote work, of course). If a company isn't willing to make itself desirable, I have no pity for them. It's like never showering or grooming and expecting to find a hot girlfriend. Highly unlikely.
>> As for discrimination against Asians, what are you referring to exactly?

This is widespread in NYC. Notice how convenient it is to "democratize" the Science High School exam procedure (where Asians took the most seats) while conveniently avoiding the democratizing of other things (where Asians did not do well.)

For Example - Bard High School and other Private-ish public schools continue to go by the old system. Asians are under represented, and the city conveniently chose not to democratize this.

For a more extreme example, what about about sports teams at NYC high schools. Asians are massively under-represented in basketball and other teams, why aren't these democratized for equal representation?

Why stop at students. Have you noticed how few NYC school principals are Asians? Why aren't these jobs democratized for equal representation? Same for a host of cushy BoE jobs/titles/positions which offer lifetime benefits -- why arent these opened up to Asians?

Basically, when Asians do well, the system is changed to demand equal representation. In places Asians dont do well, the system is kept as is.
Maybe it's very readable, but in some circles production code with no tests is considered per definition low quality. Or: if there's no tests, the code "doesn't exist".
I've been using Dreams since the beta over a year ago. I'm mostly interested in 3D sculpting and animation, but I've played around with most of the tools. Here's my impression.

It basically attempts to boil down video game behaviors to a fairly small number of simple "gadgets" ("mover", "rotator", various sensors, connectors, cameras, etc, plus the usual logic and programming pieces) that fit together into a pretty general engine. There are also higher level features you can use, such as a flexible human "puppet" with algorithmic movements.

It all runs in a graphics engine that is itself pretty inventive. It does not use polygons, but instead models consist of basic positive or negative 3D shapes blended together, and their surfaces consist of particles that can be configured in various ways.

I can't really compare it with other game engines since I haven't used them, but I think it's much closer to something like Unity than to Minecraft. It's obviously simplified a bit, but fundamentally I think it's all there. You can (in principle) make games in any genre, but really any kind of interactive or non interactive stuff. And then there's the sculpting and animating bit. Oh, and there's a sound and music production environment in there. So it actually contains something like Blender and a DAW too. Plus it's a collaborative platform where people can share, use and remix each others stuff.

I'm very impressed with Dreams. Media Molecule have managed to compress an entire creative suite into a PS4 and made it actually nice to use with a single game controller. All the tools are way deeper than they have any right to be. The presentation is obviously aimed at a younger audience, but if you can stand that it's a lot of fun even to just explore the functionality.

It's not a great programming environment though, at least when you're used to working with normal tooling. You can make reusable components but it's fairly clumsy. The thing I can most compare it to would be LabVIEW.

In the end, to me it's not really about making AAA games or "being productive", but just a general outlet for creativity. I actually hope they won't start letting people charge for their stuff in Dreams.
This would be my way of interviewing, at least for anyone who's not a junior.

What troubles me is that people will say this allows all your biases to run wild, but my feeling most of the time is that these biases will find a way to express themselves unless you remove humans from the hiring process entirely.

This is very interesting. I have been wondering about this for years. I have asked neural network people whether it is possible to build a neural network from the non-linearity induced by rounding. I have never received a convincing answer. Would you be able to point me towards a write-up of this fact? And why is this not used in practice?

I imagine that how well this works also strongly depends on the kinds of rounding. I imagine that stochastic rounding, or the rounding used in Google's bfloat16 are different in this regard in comparison with standard IEEE floating point rounding.
I live in Paris in I have been very aware of the old peach and raisin we used to have from neighborhood villages in East suburbs ( Montreuil is touching périphérique so just an arm away from Paris).
It was the 19th century. wethear could be cold like minus 8 for a few days in winter so yes thick wall protected them also from extreme cold winter waves.

But do not forget that,at that time, Parisian did not often eat peach or raisin.

I am quite sceptical that indoor farming or other (re)new trendy technique could ever produce mass market fruit we are used to have.

I run a team of data engineers, and over the years there has been a lot of confusion between what is a data scientist and what is a data engineer.

I draw the divide in that data scientists discover the features and the methodology, while data engineers take these insights to production. One can argue that data scientists themselves could do that, but this is constrained by the domain expertise on tools(be that the depth of spark internals or whatever) and the number of hours in the day. It's hard enough to deal with the variance of the models to deal with the variance of the system.

A good data engineer is a unicorn.I define three central competencies for a data engineer:
be a good coder: quality, maintainability, efficiency,
know how to explore the data: SQL, R, just eye the damn data feed,
know enough data science to interface with scientists

For a data engineer it's okay not to know probability theory and stats that much, but its a must for a data scientist( running TensorFlow out of the box with no understanding of the underlying math doesn't make a data scientist, just a common butcher).

If you have Abitur is the thing here.

You have to have that (yeah, Realschule plus FH works, too, but that’s not exactly the same and also a whole thing). To say nothing of the absolute bonkers aggressive tracking that’s happening early on. It’s not a single test and might not seem as dramatic because of that, but if you actually think about it, it’s horrific.

I think this seeming less dramatic (because it’s not a single test but rather something that happens to kids just entering puberty, long before they will ever think about going to university) makes it seem all nice and fair, but actually it’s horrible.

Nope, windows phone took the Android approach.
Anyways, android is usable without signing into a google account. You can use the Amazon app store (which has most of popular apps), or fdroid or download apk files yourself like windows of old.

Windows is a paid product, Android is not. Apart from including ridiculous ads and telemetry some of which can't be disabled, Windows seems to be taking user hosting steps every day.
There's programming involved, but of the graphical connect-the-boxes kind that can be done without text input.

It doesn't have to be equivalent, but it can't be entirely one-sided either. Two technicals are a major commitment. Even if we assume the nominal 4 hours, there's still lots of preparation that goes into taking those tests. And that's 4+ hours to get to speak to a human being assuming you pass. Otherwise, it's the "We appreciate your time," autoreply.

That's asking for too much upfront before the candidate can even decide if the job is a good fit. Job descriptions alone don't tell you much. That's where the phone interview comes in. It's a two-way street.
In my experience a lot of people have the coding skills to be a data engineer but lack the ability to understand the value they can create.

- if solid will dictate a protocol for data, it should cover the common denominator: so if you have your email on gmail now, lets say solid is covering basic email structure, i can move my email data to another provider, but about my filters? On other tiny stuff that gmail builds on email

- if i invent something new in a chat app, lets say stickers. I implemented that. (Should I ask solid to update protocol for this) Now all other chat apps supporting solid, has to follow my lead? Interoperability will be hell to manage.

- even with the limited number of browsers, we couldn't manage to unify the protocol. Protocol stuff is real hard.

> I mean, who said economic equality is even a goal? Do not those who make life better for others, also deserve a good life themselves? And if you don't make life better for others, you obviously still deserve to live, but do you deserve as much comfort and self-determination (in terms of economic wealth) as those who manage to offer more?

Not sure why you even went there since I said nothing about it. But imho any discussion of economic inequality that doesn’t take into account the different between inequality due to wealth creation and inequality due to wealth extraction is disingenuous and likely a smokescreen.

Inequality due to differences in ability to create wealth is absolutely fine. That’s capitalism at its best, and is the “make life better for others” you’re talking about. Silicon Valley startup ecosystem is the penultimate example, along with various manufacturing activities and energy production.

Raw materials + innovation + capital + labor + time = useful new physical things worth more than the sum of their inputs = wealth creation. I’m all for people getting filthy rich this way, it ultimately benefits all of society and is how we advance the human race (for the most part, minus our failure at dealing with some externalities like pollution).

But inequality due to wealth extraction is a problem, and becoming an increasingly bad one, in the US at least. Wealth extraction is about market failure. One or few entities corner a market, drive out competitors (or collude) and drive up prices.

Examples are the Telecoms and Internet service in the US blocking last mile alternatives, or an increasingly consolidated and powerful banking sector that can privatize profits and socialize losses, or hospital billing administrators enriching themselves by creating obfuscated pricing schedules based not on what some medical service costs to provide, but on what they can get the insurance companies to pay. Things like that.

It’s extremely important that this conversation about inequality constantly makes this distinction, lauds and exonerates wealth creators while closely scrutinizing and course correcting wealth extraction. Otherwise you get revolts like the Bolshevik Revolution, French Revolution, Occupy Wall Street, etc full of people who are just so angry, fed up, and oblivious to the difference, that they will throw out the baby with the bath water if given the chance. Then we all become worse off.
No, linking GPL'ed code makes the product GPL'ed too, unless you're under the System Library exemption, another author-specified exemption or are actually using LGPL'ed not GPL'ed code.

Your code is still under whatever GPL-compatible license you want, but the GPL component means you can only use the product under the GPL, so for example if somebody requested the source code of your distributed product under the GPL, you'd need to provide it, all of it, under the GPL or a compatible license. You cannot just provide the GPL licensed components.

The linked GPL'ed code seems to be client-side/frontend code, so at the very least everything client-side would fall under the GPL (if you want to argue the client(-side) and the server(-side) are different products).
