I think all of those processes work fine for different people.

I love days long coding assignments and hate live coding. I especially hate giving my code samples - most of the code I've written are proprietary, and everything public is some kind of messy experiment. Code samples also feel like some violation, like stripping down while applying for a modelling job; I understand why it's there, but there are probably better options, and it feels creepy and judgemental.

But other people also have strong opinions on this, and they're not wrong. Everyone values different things and the filters are often right for them. Interview is a part of company culture.

I still think that the best thing to interview for is to find someone who is smart and gets things done: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2006/10/25/the-guerrilla-guid...
Welcome to the Streaming Wars
That depends pretty much on the university's teaching quality.

I was lucky to study in a very good one, so not only did I got exposed to all programming paradigms during those 5 years, I also got access to a rich library that exposed me to the real history of systems programming across several platforms all the way back to the late 50's, due to their rich book and conference proceedings collection.
To whom would you report the phone as stolen?
But it's compounding. Exponential. 5 percent each year means doubling every 15 years.

I'm in favour of more redistribution but I think you're barking up the wrong tree.

Long term growth forecasts trail off to more like 1 percent as we hopefully stop unsustainable use of finite resources. Doubling is much slower then.
I'm not sure if the answer maybe got updated or not, but for me the text in bols clearly says that sideload will not be possible.
This article brought to mind another article which I personally found a bit more profound: https://bravenewgeek.com/you-cannot-have-exactly-once-delive...
You are correct, but for the sake of the simulation, I think this works. However, instead of getting "wealth" you get here "a share of all wealth". Basically, you simulate the proportion of the total wealth.

In the real world, the total wealth increases but the proportion might still stay the same. You could basically get the same in the simulation if you were to add some linear offset that's based on the timestep.
It's a lot easier to hire people than fire them friend.

The documentation recommends nothing of the sort, it's a direction for consumers. We all live in varied and different worlds, how many varied server environments have you been responsible for all at once? Is it really beyond your amazing programming skills to use the tools at hand in every circumstance? Perhaps it's a chance to demonstrate yet another 3rd party tool which fixes non-existent problems.

It's a few bytes difference in your script that is using requests over the numerous and plentiful stdlib options there.
>The German economy hasn't been doing to great recently. In my opinion it's largely due to carrying lagging EU economies, but it will be hard to use a struggling economy as a positive indicator

Without Germany starting EU and issuing checks to other EU countries, there will be very small market for German companies.

If you compare the quality of life metric, Germany does much better than any other EU country

Here you can see how German industries has survived all of this time:

Germany has managed to effectively get all benefits of Imperialism without its downsides.

And china is trying to do this through currency manipulation and belt and reads policy. Still getting much hate for that while Germany barely got any hate.
Yes. I'm also the one who leaked CNN debate questions, like: "here we are in Flint, MI – tell us what you think about the Flint water crisis."

Also, I sent John Podesta that risotto recipe.

BernieBro conspiracies haven't changed much in the last few years, I guess.
That was an insightful talk, thanks for sharing!
Eh, in that case you're asking for trouble by requiring the server to be successful. If I had to write an API like that I would definitely go with randomized tokens per logical request for dedupe on retries.

If it's a user facing transaction it should be a transaction resource that's created and then the server does the retries imo, with the user able to view the status.
Downside of this is that you still might not get, say, someone who can hack a security watermark feature into a react native camera app. Being able to solve hardest questions might not necessarily mean they can solve easier ones, or that they can get work done.

There are arguments on both sides. We want to make sure that companies don't offer lower salaries to immigrants, blacks, women etc. On the other hand, productivity varies wildly among different people doing the same job.
Linux vs. Windows (a bit lewd and offensive)
MMmh ... there's no wealth creation function anywhere. Is Peter assuming that economy is a zero-sum game?

Or is he assuming that the simulation is unaffected by working with normalized numbers?

My gut says both assumptions need to at least be justified. I'd be happier to see an actual wealth creation mechanism added.

Also, the final metric (Gini coefficient, aka the jealousy index), how much does it actually to speak to individual's happiness? A rather controversial choice: happiness is probably much correlated to absolute rather than relative wealth, something Gini entirely fails to capture.
Yeah I think you nailed it with the idea of people wanting to live further out to get more space.

Dense urban living is fun when you are energetic (and probably young and probably single and probably with lots of like-minded friends) and you spend 95% of your time working and socializing, and you basically just use your home as somewhere to sleep and get washed in between the office and the bars/restaurants/gyms/etc

However, this is not the same for everyone. I dream of the day when I can live in a house with its own garden and where I am not physically sharing walls with other people's homes. At least in London you won't get that anywhere near your work unless you are absurdly wealthy.
But majorities of ISPs still don't support IPv6 yet. IPv6-only stack will have some problems.
There are two incentives at play here: A company obviously wants to pay as little as possible. So if there are employees that do not realize they are underpayed it benefits the company in the short term. On the other hand, employees who feel they receive a good salary or any other extraordinary benefits do not want to publicly talk about this fact to not alienate their colleagues (who they suspect earn less).

Public salaries on the other hand reduce a company's flexibility: When negotiating a new contract, they cannot offer 10% more anymore. On the other hand, no one should apply if the salaries do not match their expectations...

I guess it can work reasonably well, but individual cases would suffer somewhat.
This has less to do with agile and more to do with the company culture, processes, and probably the people involved. Agile isn't a cure to these problems, it's a tool used by people who "get it" to communicate effectively and to empower everyone to do their jobs.

Thanks to agile I am directly involved in evolving the product I work on and providing information back to the product owner and anyone else involved. I regularly make suggestions that are listened to and I get feedback on my work several times a week. The changes I make are released to users rapidly and regularly and we gain insight from that to make our next decisions.

I also openly discuss the compromises I make in terms of technical debt and I'm given the freedom to clean it up when it makes sense for the business.

The business would not be able to innovate as quickly if it weren't for agile. I would be less empowered and performing suboptimal work if it weren't for agile.

Tech debt "just get it done" style management with egos too sensitive for candid feedback will always exist and the way the work is defined will have little effect. It's unfortunate that you work for such managers, but please don't blame it on agile.
Also, considering that the advocates don't seem to change their behaviors or lifestyles even marginally, the folks listening feel like the burden is being put on them. Why would I not take my family to Disneyland when I see private jets taking off ever more frequently from the private airport nearby? Cars are getting bigger, houses too, and apart from buying a Tesla, using LED lights, and a few other simple things, even the advocates don't seem to take global warming seriously. Why would average Joe panic when the celebrities, politicians, and even Gretta are traversing the world and attending fun events? Nobody seems to be sacrificing at all.
This is exactly how it works in Bulgaria, most second hand marketplaces use a courier who offers the following process:

You describe what you are shipping, how much you want for it and who covers the shipping costs.

The buyer will go to the courier office and inspect the item, if they agree to buy it, they sign off on it, pay the price + shipping (if they are the one who's supposed to pay for shipping) and the seller can get their cash from an office near them the next day.

Important bit is, the buyer inspects the item and signs on it, if they buy it, if they refuse, they cannot keep the item.

Not true, Contentsquare has been doing it before Heap and still doing it at least as well as Heap, actually they even offer retroactivity of website background
That's amazing. I've always wanted to do something similar but I had a much more complicated simulation in mind. Apparently, you can get some interesting insights even with such a rough approximation.

I would be very interested to see, how the "connectivity" and information would affect transactions. For example, I am more inclined to buy from Apple because Apple is a well-known company and my friends bought from there. The more you are known, the more transactions you can expect to make.
Quite possible, but he started with "Captain Obvious" so I hoped that meant he knows other models that are obviously better.
I agree with you and if there was a survey of problems (at the municipal level) the inhabitants think of as priority, the walkability of the city would probably not be their main priority (which, as noted, is good).
Don”t rewrites also fail all the time, even if requirements are not expanded?

How to Improve Your Programming Skills?
Petition to make women's pants with actual front pockets that fit more than 3 coins.
+1 to this comment. My team is heading down a similar path. Theres a single, defined and versioned, external API. Internally there are a handful of “microservices.” All have their own APIs, models, versions, etc. Some are invoked over remote HTTP, some are a function call, some have their own endpoint and several microservices behind it, some are bundled in to the same binary. In each case the caller and the receiver doesnt know (or care) about the implementation. The important parts are the service boundaries and definitions. Not the packaging.
An even more important point since the two mainstream desktop Unixen (Mac OS and Ubuntu) ship with zsh and dash, resp., by default.
They probably store the XPath of each click, and when an event with the same XPath is created they browse through all the past click with this specific XPath
This is absolutely crazy. I remember this exact thing happening to people in the dotcom era, they got taxed on gains that they were completely unable to realize.

If I understand it correctly, the problem here is the lockup period? If you get options that you are guaranteed that you can sell immediately after exercising them, you should be good, right? Then the proper course of action is to exercise all you can, sell enough to cover your tax liability, and then do as you please with the rest, keep, sell, whatever.

But if you can't sell them on the exercise date, you have to start thinking about the bullshit you just described above, right?
> Public salaries on the other hand reduce a company's flexibility: When negotiating a new contract, they cannot offer 10% more anymore.

Why not?
This absolutely. As understanding evolves, requirements evolve. Some domains are well-understood enough that this process can be done up-front a-la waterfall, but more often these domains are so dynamical that the only way to understand them is incrementally, one dynamic (or metadynamic) at a time.
https://www.nature.com/articles/srep01170 ehich is the first linked paper in that section explains it well. The laser fires through the hole and ablates material from the back disc. The electrons from the created plasma reach the other side of the disc first before the ions because they are lighter, causing a buildup of negative charge on the other side. This charge differential drives a current between the two plates, which creates a magnetic field inside the coil.
Yeah, I know how that goes. Our formatting is pretty neutral — we just offer a good readable text size, make everyone use the same font and colours so no one is writing in hot pink 16pt Comic Sans, allow Markdown, have a mobile design and dark mode in the emails. I've personally spent the midnight hours to make sure this all works nicely with existing email.

It's an ongoing battle but not an intractable one. It's not perfect, but we've gotten it to pretty good already. It definitely survives being quoted and otherwise chomped on by Gmail, Mail.app, Outlook, iOS and Android mail clients, which are our five main test cases.
Because iPhones only deliver notifications through Apple's Notification Services which costs money. (Good for battery life though.)

Similarly for Android, the most reliable notification method is using the Google Play Services servers.

I've done this in London where the tube can get impossible in peak hours, and it worked pretty well, although I ended up moving 30 minutes walk from the office to get 1 hour walk every day. The downside was a bit of back pain for carring the laptop on my backpack for one hour every day.
Which company do you work for and does it share your values in this question?
This brings back memories, I was introduced to xBase via dBASE III+, then we got to learn Clipper Summer '87, and I jumped into Clipper 5 for some projects freelancing outside school (Hurray OOP support!).

So it was basically Turbo Pascal / Assembly for general purpose programming and Clipper for anything DB related.

Still remember how hard it was to initially understand RDMS, given how much I happened to use xBase, thus I was kind of attached to its DB model.
> On the other hand, productivity varies wildly among different people doing the same job.

But then they are not doing the same job, and it is reasonable that they earn more.

In a grocery store, the prices are public and visible to all clients and other stores. You are reasonably sure that the seller is not reaching a "private agreement" with most other clients. This kind of public information is a basic tenet of a market economy. Otherwise the whole thing is taken over by arbiters (aka "negotiators") instead of productive people. I honestly do not understand why such an important part of the economy (the actual salaries!) is not bound by the same rule.

It seems like there's room for a confirmation/warning on the button, though. ("If this is a returnable product, accepting the return is mandatory." "Disputes occur at a different stage of the process.")
I think a lot of people are conflating Agility with SCRUM. If you look at the official SCRUM guide, you'll find ZERO references to agility. And if you look at the original Agile Manifesto, you'll find ZERO references to stories, sprints, story points, velocity, standups or any other thing that we consider agile.

For me, the essence of agility is: break down large projects into smaller and smaller projects until the "mini-project" becomes simple enough for you to execute. But each such mini-project must delivery something that works. Also, don't show documents about the software, show the software.

I have to disagree. Realistically my only job opportunities for good pay are in cities, you couldn't pay me to live in one of those.

I'll take the commute for the luxury of living in the countryside away from the noise, overpopulation and dirt.

Collaboration and production?

I think your local libraries are very different to the sorts of libraries I used to use as a child. What you're describing there sounds more like a community centre of some sort.

Libraries are traditionally silent for example. You don't collaborate in them or else you get shushed. You definitely don't run 3D printers in them!

But I can see that if that's what you associate with modern libraries then replacing them with book purchase credits would seem a poor trade.
There's a connection between diets and depression
Standard diet didn't do for me. (Carbs such as potatoes /rice/grain w. Every meal, sugar in between and meat+salad for lunch)

iSH has a threaded interpreter that works like that, yes.
I have a 4th generation iPad.
Would it work on that as well?
Since Apple dropped support for it, it's stuck with iOS 10 and effectively useless.

Better make it a rough spec then.
The rough explanation I've heard before is to satisfy conservation of momentum and energy together. But on doing some more digging this seems wrong. C12+gamma is an output, just only for 0.01% of reactions. No idea why the different byproducts have different rates though.
That's the 'normal maximum' in NL (overtime is also a thing). Plenty of people on part-time contracts working 32, 24 or even 20 hours per week.
All other power sources, except maybe hydro, are almost perfectly safe. They're a lot more damaging to people's health and the environment, yes, but that is a different thing from danger.

I wrote "in the long term" for a reason, by the way. I'd prefer to get rid of coal before nuclear despite the danger.
I always come at this from an "information == power" standpoint. If any one worker only knows the data points from their own (possibly non-existent) previous employments, they will be at a disadvantage against a company that has already negotiated hundreds of such contracts.
So if you assume a more-or-less free market (kind of reasonable in professions far off minimum-wage regulation) then players with more information will statistically end up better off.
Put like that, sharing your salary becomes a pretty basic act of solidarity, and should be reciprocated.

By the way, there's at least one more incentive/mechanism at play here: since western society tends to confound fiscal achievement with value as a person, people hesitate (and with reason) to share their salary, in case it is too low.
There's some nice discussion to be had there about Calvinism and the general relationship between religion and the attitude towards individual achievement. But I think that would just devolve into a flame-war so maybe let's not go there. :)
He says it's a wild dream which everyone who has studied it knows due to the physical properties. He has a Ph.d. and worked on the Prague-based fusion reactors. I think it's useful to know that people with expertise consider it wild even though they're not exactly sure why themselves. You don't need to take it into consideration if you know better.
I don’t get how that’s related to the OP’s comment.
Serious question, what is the difference between software development and alchemy?
Patching Nvidia GPU driver for hot-unplug on Linux
The only software project I ever worked on in which the customer didn't report so much as a single bug had the requirements done properly, up front, and agreed all round. Of the thousands of identified requirements, I think less than ten changed over the lifetime of the project, and each change underwent significant examination for consequences.

The project was waterfall all the way.

The quality of software that can be built if you know before you start what it's meant to do, and that doesn't change, is astounding. Truly astounding.
> As a consequence of this, software is never finished, only abandoned.

Ditty of mine from around 1988 or so. The hardware is old and obsolete but the software never is complete.

One thing I realized a long time ago was that you need enough resources to keep up with the requirements drift or you will never finish. That's what's behind YAGNI and Minimum Viable Product.

There is this other thing which is a successful product 'creates it's own weather' as far as requirements go.
I get that argument, but I do believe that it applies more so to a past idea of society where everybody is close to average, i.e. mostly families with children. It makes sense to time days off for adults with those of children. The same goes for school holidays being timed with harvest season because plenty of children had to help on the family farm etc.

That's not our current reality, the percentage of singles and childless couples is growing and they don't need to be timed with school hours.

Adding flexibility would make everything run more smoothly. Right now we're having all the commercial traffic on 5/7 days and all the leisure time traffic on 2/7 days. Offices are empty 2/7 days.

Distributing that more evenly would benefit everyone. Less traffic during rush hour, less overrun parks on your day off, less crowded super markets and packages wouldn't need to be considered lost if they're diverted to the local branch where queues are usually longer than those in front of apple stores when new iphones get released.
Because then every other employee already working there would want that extra 10% the new guy got so the company's salary expenses would spiral out of control(or reaching their actual market value, as it rightfully should be).

People wouldn't be job hopping if you could get the same raise as the new guys.

Not saying I like this but it's the current situation in Europe where the power lies with the company and the ones who loose are those that are too loyal to the company(most employees outside SW dev don't bother looking around every few years like we do).
"This is what they already do with their spare time, there's no reason to believe there wouldn't be more of it."

I can see one reason: the benefit that you get from an activity is a nonlinear function of how much time you invest in it. This is why people tend to specialize in certain domains. If you barely have any time to practice painting for example, maybe it's not worth learning to paint in the first place. Conversely, if you have more free time, it could be worthwhile to find more creative things to do with it.

This is especially true if you consider frame-switching overhead. The amount you can get done in 6 hours of some demanding creative activity is probably more than 3 times the amount you could get done in 2 hours. And obviously people would have more long uninterrupted blocks of free time if they had to work less overall.

Also, with most schools being the way they are, I think children in general get very little opportunity to pursue their creative impulses; it's always about following the teacher's instructions. Maybe adults would have more curiosity and creativity if these traits weren't snuffed out in their formative years.

Finally, even in our current society, being just a lazy consumer in your free time is far from universal, for example: https://www.namm.org/news/press-releases/gallup-organization...
