I wish there was some sort of official guidelines on when the black bar is appropriate. There is no doubt that Mrs. Johnson helped accelerate the field of computer science and legitimized its existence, as not just a branch of mathematics, but a whole new field on its own.

The bigger question is, is that what the black bar is for?
I'd be curious to know if this is typical. As someone that's never interviewed at Google but idly wondered at moments if I'd ever work there this sounds hellish. Not necessarily the exercises themselves (although they seem to have nothing to do with what any developer does day-to-day), but the sheer number of them and the amount of preparation required. I already have a full time job, I don't want to take on another part time job of "practicing for an interview at Google". Especially when I don't even know what I'd be working on (if anything) at the end of it all!

They took account of differences in income for modern Dutch people but not historically I think. I don't know how poor the average Dutch person was relative to other European countries back then that might explain them being small at that time either. The change since then is so extreme relative to other societies that to account for it with an explanation that is just as applicable to all other European societies just doesn't seem plausible to me. Some sort of health or nutrition explanation peculiar to Holland and perhaps to do with childhood intervention (e.g. effectiveness of vaccination programmes, childhood or pregnant mother care, smoking rates etc) seems more likely.

An acquaintance teaches a course one night a week at the local community college. The pay is really low - $1200 per semester course. On the other hand, he has interned and/or hired some of the best students, so there are other advantages besides spare cash.
Yes, of course. But I understood (perhaps incorrectly) your comments as intending to have broader applicability. The case of flat-earthers has always seemed like an extreme outlier to me even compared to other conspiracy theorists.
If you are receiving your money or reputation from a platform (like HackerOne) then you are going to be underappreciated, undervalued, and treated like an expense that should be minimized.

Here is what responsible disclosure looks like in 2020 from somebody that has self-worth:

> (Message posted to Hacker One, and emailed to any address you can find, and sent in a letter by mail. Yes mail. Also copied in all those ways to investors of the target.)

>

> Dear Sir or Madam:

>

> I have learned about a security issue in PayPal's service. This includes being able to login to user accounts without the credentials the system is expecting. [Be vague about how exactly it works, but explain the impact.]

>

> I am not an employee or contractor of PayPal and I will publish this on my blog at https://privacylog.blogspot.com to build on my reputation for finding and improving the security of internet systems.

>

> This post will publish on 2020-03-09, which is two weeks from today.

>

> If you are committed to fix this issue before public disclosure, I will be happy to work with you. You can contact me at ...

---

Key points:

- The discussion is about my reputation and values.
- I am not demanding any payment (not sure if that is legal).
- Set a firm publish date.
- This asks them to make a commitment to fix and frames the discussion going forward.

And if they do not get back to you, then when you publish you explain it just like you see in newspapers: "the vendor failed to respond and act on this report when I contacted them by email, social media and paper mail with two weeks' notice".

I would guess that's the short version of it. I would surmise that 'engineer' basically means to do a hell of a lot more rigorous logic testing of the software and hardware products and would therefore also get paid more. Then comes along these fancy little startups who want to hire away that talent but don't fully understand that the word 'engineer' is a protected word in but do know the context basically suggests more responsibility. So then they make leading roles 'engineers' and supporting roles 'developers'. Then it snowballs from there because software isn't _nearly_ as rigorous as a civil engineer or mechanical engineer where the word means that you're legally responsible for the lives at stake.

I honestly think that software "engineers" should be legally liable for the lives at stake though.

I haven't looked at PayPal specifically, but if it's a standard authenticator app can you not both set it up via the QR code when you enable it while everybody is present?

However, obviously the real answer is to add multiple users to the same paypal account, which apparently you can do with a PayPal Business account.

Excluding food, education, medical, and a few other expenses, you need to spend $10k / month to come out behind on this bill.

That’s $120K/year. Assuming a 33% effective income tax rate, that’s $180k, pre tax, no savings, or expenses for food, etc. That’s well into the 80th percentile income bracket in CA, and it’s probably possible to be in the 90th percentile and still come out ahead (factor in retirement savings, college, etc):

Things to Improve Your Productivity
Treat workers like robots and they might behave like them
I'm currently enrolled in Georgia Tech's OMSCS program - http://www.omscs.gatech.edu/. 2-3 years of part-time work for $7000, and it's a fully accredited degree with no distinction from the on-campus degree. It's no pushover, a lot of work is required. But the opportunity to get a top-10 CS degree for under ten grand total is unparalleled.
And what about the taxpayers? They lose. I'm not necessarily opposed to wealth transfers in principle, but they absolutely are a zero sum game.
If you look at how the chiplets are organized, you technically have 4 cores sharing a bank of L3 (2 of these 4 core groups per chiplet). In the 48 core model, 1 core from each 4 core group are disabled, so you have 3 cores sharing the same quantity of L3. So you now have 25% more L3 cache per core. You also have 25% more per-core memory and PCIE bandwidth.

If your workload is cache or memory bandwidth sensitive you might recover some performance despite having 25% fewer cores. You can probably run fewer cores at a higher sustained clockspeed. This may reduce a 25% deficit to something more modest like 5-10%, at which point the 64 core parts are harder to justify.
Oh yes, that is certainly what we do. And there's nothing wrong about that.
We are definitely in the business of building tools for professionals, i.e. a bit of a learning curve is not the issue. The "professional hazing process" isn't necessarily bad.
What I would say is that there is some (maybe a lot of) potential value that vi cannot develop simply due to the very reduced form factor that it has. I believe this never really has come to the fore because most programming languages are designed in a fairly limited way. I.e. they don't really take into account that they are a User Interface.

As positive examples I would point out the kind of interactive editing mode that you can find in dependently typed programming languages. I believe e.g. Idris has a pretty cool Emacs mode.
Bash and JS are interesting cases because they're so ossified core problems are impossible to touch.
This is a solid read, with good book recommendations. After several years of tinkering with self-learning I bit the bullet and applied to a MSc in Applied Math program. (via ep.jhu.edu) I've had to take some pre-reqs to get started since it's been almost 20 years since I have been in a college math class, but it's been an enlightening journey re-learning calculus and now dipping my toes into differential equations. I don't think I could have gotten this far with self-learning, but I realize YMMV.

I will say I don't feel like single-variable real number calculus tells the whole story. I had taken that and linear algebra in undergrad but never any further, and now that I've taken single and multiple variable calculus, with real and complex numbers, plus integration of linear algebra ideas, the mathematical model feels a lot more like a cohesive whole to me, highlighting fundamental ideas that only barely peek through in a typical Calculus I class. I would encourage anyone talking to calculus to at least do the typical Calc II class, if not Calc III/multivariate. There is a beauty and structure to building up from calc I through III that I was missing before.
Ok so that is the part that I was missing.

So that does spread that out a bit if you take into account anyone buying those manufactured goods outside of the state.

Then that personally raises the question on how this would scale nationwide, the cost to the business would ultimately be largely pushed down to the consumer. Maybe that is getting a bit ahead of ourselves, but I keep hearing about a UBI and I struggle with seeing the logistics of it.

Unit testing is not just about catching errors while you build the code, it's (and much more) about being able to catch errors at any time. Now, tomorrow, in 2 weeks, by someone else trying to refactor something in 10 years from now. Refactoring without tests is a nightmare and people will avoid touching anything because of it. With time that results in piles of old crap layered one over the another, hack over the hack, as no one ever wanted to take the responsibility of untangling it and refactoring the core problems properly. Many things you can do without tests, but tests make it more approachable and less scary to try.
Hi, I'm Syrus (founder of Wasmer [0]).

First things first: we have the deepest appreciation for Jack and the people behind the effort at lightbeam. They did a lot of amazing work on that space that inspired our work in the Singlepass compiler (similar design principles as lightbeam).

On that sense, Wasmer is built to support any kind of compiler backend. We currently support Singlepass (streaming compiler), Cranelift and LLVM (for super optimal environments). [1] We also support ARM [2] chipsets and sponsored the work on the dynasm Rust project to enable it.

Wasmer runtime is also highly pluggable via middlewares. For example, we added ultra-optimal "gas metering" as a part of it.

If you are curious about runtime speed (tldr: we are ahead ;) ), here are some other articles [3] [4]

Hope this is useful!

To be fair, it also took me years to realize how programming as tought in academia is out of touch with reality.
Hey, try not insulting people that are trying to have a reasonable conversation.

> EDIT: How about instead a “new” license that, if you feel the software isn't maintained adequately for the needs of your organization, allows you to hire whoever you want to maintain it to your requirements, instead of impotently raging that other people aren't supporting it?

It makes sense for the people that are getting the most profit from a piece of software to be the ones paying for basic maintenance/cleanup/improvements.

If you want customizations or new features, that's when it makes the most sense to 100% self-fund.

> it has all the downsides of traditional commercial software plus gives a competitive advantage to upstart competitors

On average, I'd expect it to still be a lot cheaper than commercial closed-source software.

And what exactly do you mean by competitive advantage here?

personally I would still find Uber/Lyft extremely useful even if they had to double fares to pay drivers better and make a profit. being able to hail a ride with your phone and being able to track its progress on a map is a game changer by itself.

one significant benefit of Uber that I've noticed is that people outside of cities are much less likely to drive themselves home after drinking. they either use a ride share both ways, or experience less friction later on when they realize theyve had too much to drink. ten years ago they would just say fuck it and risk a DUI.
But there are several orders of magnitude between different extreme sports. The principle is the same either way imo.
> assuming each trunk road is 2 lanes in both directions

At a rough guess, about half of the roads have 2 lanes in each direction, and the rest one lane in each direction.

That should improve your estimate.
Any recommendations as to a distance learned BS to pair with this?

I tend to agree with this sentiment but it does sound a lot like the whole “if people want to sign up to be slaves to Uber because they have no other options then that is their right” argument which I have mixed feelings about. I could imagine a situation where new construction in SF is all 100sft units because it maximizes rent ROI which would if anything make larger spaces even more expensive then they are.
> Historically the way we deal with epidemics is by developing medication.

Effective medication is a very recent thing. Variolation dates back to the 10th century and was moderately effective, but quarantine is thousands of years old. Avoiding cannibalism and thus prion diseases is also from antiquity, but that’s simply another type of avoidance.
More like 5 generations but there was no one in charge of this breeding programme. It seems that a lot of Dutch men decided to voluntarily forego sex but to raise the children of women who were breeding with the tall men.
And this phenomenon to have been peculiar to Holland.
Just doesn't seem believable.
Because some people want to live in a world where we as a society can value things like medieval poetry and have thriving ecosystems around that.

There's a seemingly endless line of people willing to enslave themselves to a broken system rather than fold and turn into a Dominos manager like the system wants.
My new theory is that, Dutch were already selecting for "tall strature" for long time (maybe 10 generations) even when they were on average much shorter than rest of the Europe because of mostly malnutrition.

But why were they aggressively selecting for tall stature? Perhaps because they were on average shorter than rest of Europeans, so they felt there is something wrong with them? Which isn't unbelievable, I've seen shortest girls demand the tallest men.

So when nutrition improved those already tall genes which were there, got time to express themselves to the fullest.

Here is some acecdote:

In my village, people mostly select average height partner. And tall people aren't considered more desirable. No one compared height or thought of it as some advantage but when men from other tribes started appearing near the village, suddenly they started thinking of how to increase their height, some are now drinking gallons of milk in effort to improve their height because they are lagging, while women want the tall men now. My grandma tells me, they never thought about "height" as a trait they select in their partner, they never thought about it. To her, any man who was average and could work on farm (not crippled), was not very ugly was a good partner.
Mainly rock salt but doesnt work in extreme cold as the ice freezes with the rock salt in it. Ruins the vehicle chassis in the European country's which salt their roads but it keeps the Car industry going, not to mention pollutes water courses and crops.
Pharmacists clearly seem like a huge potential vector for disease transmission.

The pharmacy itself should have policies preventing sick employees from attending work and have generous paid sick leave.

We could reduce disease transmission and thus social cost dramatically if we reduced transmission in medical contexts (e.g. hospitals are one of the main places people GET sick -- from other patients).

It would ultimately save money if there was overstaffing requirements and stringent no sick staff allowed in any medical context.

The problem is that cost reduction is at a societal level while individual firms don't have the incentive to do this. But socialized healthcare systems should be able to solve this easily.
Don't insulate yourself from the reality of other people's opinions, because for every one comment you see, you can be assured there are many others not writing it, or on this site.

It's actually very informative, to me. Sorry you don't see it that way.
> I had been waiting for them for several weeks, and now they wanted to be «time efficient».

> Frustrating moment #3. Google doesn't respect your time.

Yeah, usually at that time I already wrapped up my interviews with other places and off the market.

I wonder why people still wants to work for google after they put through this "you jump, when they say jump" where they clearly giving you the signal: sorry, your time worth nothing to us.
> I don't want to take on another part time job of "practicing for an interview at Google"

Problem is someone else will. And there's no easy fix.

If there was an easy way for a group of uncoordinated people (applicants) to coordinate against bullshit (stupid-long interviewing processes sometimes unrelated to the job and other stuff) we could solve many of this world's problems, don't you think?
This helped me a ton as well. My hands are naturally cold, and most workplaces tend to keep it cooler than I find comfortable.

The page only says that they do external security scans that other companies who do the actual certification recognize as valid scans. They certify no one themselves.

Further, that has absolutely nothing to do with anyone reporting vulnerabilities through HackerOne. That is not a scan by the definition of PCI-DSS, the SOC2 trust services criteria, or any other security framework you care to name.

Just give it up. You're wrong.
I think verifying that your code calls this and that is that it actually works the way you expect. Without such test we might assume code works in one way when the happy path is not even reached.

I find it valuable at times, depending on the context, but I agree that extensive mock testing like this can get quite useless real quick.
