I wouldn’t mind if such a statement in isolation would be a compiler error and if languages in general were much stricter. So far all languages I have seen that are very forgiving in terms of syntax (PHP comes to mind) seem to breed sloppy programmers and software written in these often have stupid little bugs caused by typos.

Once you have a big name on your resume, you'll get all the interviews you want when you go to look for a full time job.

I'm not sure if Lyft is a big enough name, but I know having Google or Facebook on your resume as an intern is enough to have your choice in full time jobs as long as you can pass interviews.

Lyft will get hurt big time from this when these interns go to find full time jobs.

It's a troll, not a question. Are people really reading it at face value, or do they subscribe to the popular view that most content is generated to serve the sick desperation of an aging and fading publishing industry desperate for attention and clicks? (see what I did there?)
A lot of people here are being rather unsympathetic. Even if it's not the end of the world, it still sucks. Hopefully you can save some money from not having to move to the Bay Area.

Key takeaway from the abstract:

To evaluate how MERS-CoV evolves to infect host cells, the scientists tested 16 bat species and found that the virus could not efficiently enter cells with receptors from the common vampire bat, Desmodus rotundus. They then grew virus on cells that had vampire bat receptors and observed the virus evolving to better infect the cells. After a few generations, the virus had completely adapted to the vampire bat receptor.
I first made traveldays back in 2016, for a company that was offering group tours to China. It was mainly used by their tour guides, to upload photos of the participants to share with their friends and family.

Now with the current Covid situation, they went out of business, and I had some time on my hands to give it a complete overhaul. So I completely changed the front-end and opened up registration to everyone.

The goal is to create a travel diary that looks beautiful and feels personal, for reminiscing and sharing. At the same time I'm trying to make uploading and sharing as frictionless as possible.
Even independent SA are usually on commission. Dealerships are still a rip-off though.
I believe GP's point is that this is coincidental broad dip, not TSLA dip though of course the downside with rhetorical questions like that is that you have to guesss at meaning.
If you're looking for some alternatives to play around with, I'd also suggest TypeScript (w/ React) or Elm (https://elm-lang.org/). If you like Haskell—and can work fluently in it—Elm is a joy!

Yeah. And for many years from then onwards, E.U. was often referred to in local media as (translared to english) "The Europe of the twelve" -- until the much later expansion.
Interns are somehow superior candidates to experienced engineers all of a sudden?
If you think the letter prices are bad, try:

- $3.15/15 mins for a domestic phone call

- $15/20 mins video call/teleconference if your jail/prison has them and you/someone else are willing to fork out that much (You may be there a while and so have to stretch whatever money you have left as far as possible)

- I don't even want to know how much for an international call

- $1 for a single pack of ramen

- $5 for a 5oz bag of freeze-dried coffee

And even if you have the money, you'd better hope someone picks up when you get your phonecall and/or that you know people's addresses or phone-numbers offhand.

Gotta love JPay, Bob Barker, and Aramark.
I was watching an episode a while ago (forgot which one) where it was obvious the two rappers had never even been in the house before, like having to look around what sort of room it was before saying 'this is the lounge' or whatever. There was a picture of a sail boat that they looked at for a bit, slightly perplexed, and then said 'yeah this is a picture of a boat because we like boats' or something like that. It was hilarious.
It doesn't even make sense. Plenty of GenXers working in startup land.

You keep saying “polygons”. Are you talking about subdivision surfaces? Films don’t model in “polygons”. Subdivision surfaces are a curved surface representation, not “polygons”. Some people still use NURBS too.

Natural spillover or research lab leak: The origins of the novel coronavirus
Most software companies aren't hurting - especially those still in the startup phase that may have 0 revenue today but also had 0 revenue before the pandemic.

Additionally, the job market is already insanely skewed toward employers with extremely weak unionizing laws throughout most of the US - while the software market is more balanced than most other markets the value extracted form employees still far outweighs their compensation.

Employees should value their time and labour and I'm sorry you decided to work for no money since, either your labour was worthless or someone made free money off your back.
1. Thank you for trying it out on those browsers - never thought someone would care enough to test it like this! Nonetheless, I really have no idea what's causing that.. I guess as long as the Google calendar events load in correctly its not a big deal?

2. Cool!
Thanks for the refreshing perspective. I don't think they made this pay cut decision lightly, meaning that the situation is most likely grave. Overall, it really brings doubt into my mind about the future of Lyft and whether it will survive
Almost certainly not, sounds like textbook insider trading to me?
Whenever someone tells me they're a salesmen for a living, I think of things like this.

those are product offerings, it is like saying why are there new fast-food chains if McDonald's already exists.

specifically the alternative you list are commercial offerings from other companies, that is just wanting a piece of the cake.

and for example, "internet explorer" is now going to be based on chromium, a terrible news for the web, but definitely a invented-elsewhere case.

regarding Rust a not invented here situation would be trying to develop their own rustc/cargo or a new similar language, sort of like apple with swift (not saying this is what motivated apple)
There are several sectors of the economy that haven't been effected by this - med-tech/fin-tech firms in particular should (mostly) be doing fine.

Hey there! I'm a software engineer who's got around 6 years of experience developing mostly web-related applications. I have significant experience working on search systems (relevance tuning, query parsing, highlighting, query expansion, learning to rank etc.).
I'm only looking for an opportunity to possibly get back to working on that sort of thing (information retrieval, natural language processing or even more machine learning related things that I have some experience with), only remotely.

Thanks for having a look!
I wish I could upvote this 10 times. The Silicon Valley meme of some companies is too real. I only work for companies with a practical business model that I think has an actual chance of making money.

I do have plans for auth, still thinking about the best way to solve it though
Lyft employee here: I think part of the motivation for this is that internships are being conducted remotely, so interns do not have Bay Area living expenses. Another part of it obviously is that we're cutting costs due to the downturn (the layoffs and salary reductions for full-time employees were also part of that). This is not ideal, just explaining some of the rationale.
> The most notable one I can think of is that integer multiplication is not in core.

And? Base RISC-V is meant to be as simple as possible; if you're designing an ultra-low power microcontroller you probably don't want a hardware multiplier, and you shouldn't be forced to have one. The "G" general purpose set of extensions is what you need for an application processor.

Something like RV64GC would be what most compiler writers would be targetting.

> telling me that the spec authors think that multiplication and division are of the same circuit complexity

Given the profiles of the spec authors I highly doubt this is the case; the number of modern cores which support hardware multiplication but not division is very small.

> Anybody that's written a compiler or even stared at assembly would tell you how prevalent integer multiplication is, for any sort of loop or pointer addressing.

For a loop you'll probably try to avoid as much multiplication as possible by transforming the induction variable to make it amenable to strength reduction.
For the OP, if your are asking what you do as an intern, you do the internship for 8 weeks.

It's an internship, it's something you do for experience and to get on your resume.

Unless you think you can't survive on the resulting internship income, or unless you have a better offer... it would still seem to be in your best interest to do it.
The framework is not using its own syntax, it is the syntax of Janet. It has Clojure syntax because it's written in Janet which is a Clojure inspired Lisp.
Probably wouldn’t be. In any regard could sell an early access feed if they wanted and it’d be legit.
If you reduce all legislative action to "whatever it wants ... anytime it wants to" then there's no point in discussing any of this; they can just pass an amendment to the Constitution.

You're right, it's not a common-sense definition, it's a "rule of law" definition. If the government decides to regulate encryption as arms, then it must deal with the consequences that it is admitting that encryption is arms, and that the constitutional limits on how it how it regulates arms apply to how it regulates encryption. Individual laws form a system, and even though parts of the government can change individual laws, they must still obey the system as a whole; that's what the rule of law is about.

"Of course, you probably shouldn’t believe these estimates since I didn’t generate them with neural net."

The current status of "AI" summed up.
Ha. But this approach seems really problematic since it's based on the assumption that algorithms are good at predicting the counterfactual, while the reality is that the stock market is by nature extremely unpredictable.

Example 1: You could imagine the US gov announces a national quarantine, and Elon tweets this in response 1min later. The tweet didn't cause the stock drop, the quarantine did (a classic C caused both A and B problem). But this algorithm wouldn't know that.

Example 2: Imagine a court case ruling against Tesla is announced, and Elon immediately tweets. Same issue, but harder to detect. In the quarantine case you could assume Elon doesn't influence stocks besides Tesla, and observe that all of them are crashing.

Example 3: A really good earnings report for Tesla is announced, at the same time Musk tweets it's overpriced. The price cancels these out and stays steady. Now the algorithm gives a false negative, since actually the tweet prevented the price from going up.
For comparisons sake also: Internships in germany had been around 700Eur per month 10 years ago. Maybe it's 800 now.

I think even half of an internship salary at one of the US companies is far above that - if not even still above the salaries of full-time employees in other countries. So it doesn't sound that terrible.
Know More, Write
Stripe's documentation is excellent. All you really need is a REST API.
Can you provide a bit information about the general salary reductions? The snippet above doesn't mention or give any detail around those.
that's really good..... but the bigger problem is getting all the data to the client.
Wait I thought startup employees were awkward young males living in small rooms in shared homes or dorm-like buildings, kinda just scraping by hoping their product catches on, and working 24/7?
I don't know if it's explicitly part of the regulations but as a former "insider" at a large publicly traded valley tech company, I can say that it's almost certainly against the rather all-encompassing wording of the shit I had to sign that enumerated all the "Thou Shalt Nots" from the regs (as well as watch the insufferably annoying 'compliance training' videos (with interactive quizzes!)

Basically, it went far beyond all information about my employer to include ANY "non-public information" about any OTHER company that I might become aware of through my employment, whether directly or indirectly, including (but not limited to) any product plans, business strategies, etc (or lack thereof), I was prohibited from trading on or disclosing to any other person, yada, yada, yada.

Since I had, at least, theoretical access to tons of customer data on our servers as well as forecasts based future contract negotiations with our many thousands of huge public co customers... per my attorney's advice, I just held all my company RSUs and put the rest of my portfolio on auto-pilot in a Boggle-headish standard blend of cheap ETFs and never traded any individual stocks. This happened to work out extremely well for me financially as well as simplifying my life and reducing my exposure to lawsuits and regulator scrutiny. It was a combo of luck and the fact that for ten-year time periods, that strategy is actually pretty good.
Did you stop developing software altogether? What doesn’t break compatibility from time to time?
According to layoffs.fyi, Lyft laid of 17% of full time workers yesterday.

So not just pennies.
> Usually when you do things like this, you package it in a defensible way. So maybe you decide you want some redistribution, but that's politically infeasible. Instead you package it as something else.

So do the same thing with the good solution. Make it a UBI but call it a negative income tax and tell everybody you're giving them a huge tax cut (which for the majority of people you actually are).

> Another example is most big infrastructure projects in California. You'll notice that most don't finish in time. The real reason is to ensure that there is sustainable construction work going on. They're capable of finishing fast but no one wants that. They just want a large number of people employed. The Trojan Horse is "we're building infrastructure" because otherwise you have to fight the anti-redistribution anti-subsidy people.

But that's the same thing. Instead of purposely delaying the construction, just finish it on time and then go back and say "look how inexpensive we can build things now, let's build all the things" and get a hundred more construction projects.

Blowing the budgets every time is how you get them all canceled by giving very inconvenient real evidence to the people who want to cut them out next time.

> Anti-cronyists don't expend political effort. It's not a thing anyone needs to worry about. Only people who want to get something concrete and people in danger of losing something concrete expend political effort.

All the cronyists and taxpayers are also anti-cronyists for everything but their own projects because everything else is competing for resources with them. A state can't pass a budget with a 500,000,000% deficit and expect anybody to buy the bonds, so every piece of garbage in the budget is crowding out the garbage that somebody else wants. The easier you make it to make the case against your thing, the more likely they are to get their garbage to replace yours.
These are crazy times. Most companies are cancelling their intern programs outright, or switching to more limited, remote work options.

Finding a summer internship right now is going to be really difficult.
Employees at Twitter would go to jail if they used Twitters information to trade. Journalists have gone to jail for sharing information about stories they are writing to third parties.

But it is possibly legal for Twitter the organisation to do that or sell tweet "firehoses" to third parties.

I would not be surprised if they had deal with with traders that gave them a firehose of tweets milliseconds before everyone else.

There was an interesting case in the UK where a company that provided the audio feed for the Bank of England announcements fed the feed to hedge funds before everyone else heard it.

https://news.sky.com/story/bank-of-england-cuts-audio-feed-o...

Edit: this is my uneducated opinion not legal advice.
Oh boy, that's rough. So that's a cut to 1/3rd of the total comp you would have made otherwise. Well, almost a decade ago when I interned in San Francisco I made less than 4000 dollars a month and stayed in a shared room with other kids. Haha, good times. Hard to remember those days. I bet with the hours I put in, I was actually close to SF's minimum wage.

I think it's the duration cut that's really rough. I would have taken a shot at proving myself for rent+food alone.
In your case 1, doesnt the decorrelation from the index deactivate any effect that the gov quarentine would have?

Lyft engineer here.

I agree that this is an unfortunate turn of events — and I would be sad to be in your position.

To add a bit more context:

• we just parted ways with 23% of our staff (layoff + furlough) this week.

• remaining team members are taking a 3 month 10% cut in base salary.

• unlike many companies, we're still conducting our internship program — so it's good that you at least have the option to continue with your internship, unlike many others whose internships were canceled.

At $9600 per month, Lyft had one of the highest salaries for an internship; $4800 per month is still a decent chunk of change, particularly as you don't have to be in Seattle, NYC, or San Francisco anymore.

If you have other options, I think everyone would understand if you chose to pursue those instead. If not or if you choose to join us anyway, having an internship at Lyft can lead to a full-time offer and/or make you more competitive when applying for full-time jobs in the future.

The real value of an internship is more-so in giving you practical experience rather than the compensation.
would a developer encounter a lot of porn day-to-day or is content at least partly replaced with kittens or something?
Which demographic do you think sources come from: "journalists" or "the masses"?
I agree, though I could see the merit for a standalone declaration:

val x: String
x = "hello"

The type at this point is almost like a comment.

For declaration and assignment though, I agree that reading "ident: Type" is harder for me.

Perhaps an interesting idea would be to have the type at the end of the expression. Like so:

val x = "hello": String

Essentially, you're making a type assertion on an expression. Since it's an assignment expression (the value of which would be the assigned variable) then it also type checks the variable.
That's gone so well in recent decades. Maybe they can use the patriot act as a model. That's only ever been used for its intended purposes and any rights violations that have occured under it have always been justly defended in courts.
