8,000 people is too small of a sample size to say what they did was repeatable or significant.

Also notable is that Fremont, California is not similar to China in that they do not have the same draconian lockdown policy. You cannot have employees coming and going to the factory because when they are not at the factory, you have no control over where they go. In China, you have more control and more policy to support this limitation of personal autonomy.
While I agree you need to be careful about mistaking someones nervousness for lack of qualification for the job, that's going to be an issue throughout the interview, not just when they ask questions, and you need to work to get them comfortable throughout.

I find the questions from the interviewee to be among the most useful part of the interview, for both sides. As an interviewer, it's great insight into the things they care about, what caught their attention during our discussion and want to dig into some more, etc.

I'd also say it's exceedingly difficult to set aside their questions, even if you truly mean that you try to. If someone asks something like "How closely are the office supplies tracked, would anyone notice if stuff went missing?" I doubt you can totally ignore that. Similarly, if someone has a mediocre interview but asks a some absolutely great questions that lead to an amazing discussion are you really going to say "well, I think they'd be a great fit, but I did say I'd not consider their questions as part of evaluation, so guess it's a No from me"?

The hardest one for me is where someone otherwise good asks something like "When can I get my first raise and how much is it?" as their first question. I mean, it's a valid question, but it's hard to ignore that it's the first question.

As an interviewee, it's a great time to figure out what you're getting into. This is a potential future co-worker you're talking to, so if they get upset that you've asked a tough question or even respond with a hint of "psh, that's a stupid question" that's a massive red flag about what taking this job would be like.

It's great that the author has posted running code, so others can try it out and learn from it. That is great.

To run this code on debian, I had to install python2, python2 pip, python2 virtualenv, and the gimp-python plugin. The init code for the plugin dumps around 1GB of cache files into your ~/.cache directory, mostly in ~/.cache/pip/http , which then get built into a virtualenv in the git tree for the project.

Unfortunately there is no obvious license, so nobody can build on it directly, although some of the underlying codes have permissive licenses.

I tried out the super-resolution plugin on several test images; it didn't give good results. Motion deblurring had problems also. Both worked poorly on dealing with input compression artifacts, and on dealing with blurry low-resolution inputs. Both performed reasonably well on relatively clear high-resolution inputs (and where I already knew that blind deconvolution could easily recover the blur kernel), with no obvious artifacts in the output.

You can't keep politics out of the workplace. Your notion that diversity programs shouldn't exist is enormously political, and company having them or refusing to have them is political either way. Especially here in America, where the rights and privileges of white men have been intensely political topics for literal centuries. You are practicing politics right here, right now.

Haha, wow. No sense of humor? As a hiring manager I’ve run somewhere north of a hundred interviews, and honestly they get so boring and repetitive. I love it when people have questions because it shows you something about them which wasn’t on the script.

If someone’s question was “what did you have for lunch?” and they asked with a smile, I would laugh out loud and then tell them about my lunch, and probably write something like “likeable candidate, has good people skills,” in my review.

High stakes selection often comes down to random chance. It's entirely possible the author could have asked the perfect question and still missed out, because from the selection committee's perspective all candidates appear equally strong. It's a good position to be in as a hiring manager, but as a candidate it can be difficult to refrain from overfitting the situation.

Probably the best advice, in any situation, is to seek out more options. Apply to more jobs, more scholarships, and more fellowships. Write down more ideas, todo items and bugs.

My job title is Managing Director. I am learning quite quickly about working from home.

Espresso - I don't roll my own but I love 85% Aribica with 15% Rombusta. I gather that is the Italian default brew and I concur. We do bean to cup rather than tree to cup.

We used to look after other people's dogs. Wifey now walks me! We live next to a park and see many of our customers daily from afar. I could not give a shit about the money but we miss our friends. Even now I smile thinking about Cwtch (not a typo) and co. running madly around the meadow down hill from my house.

Anyway, I am now seriously thinking about how we properly integrate home working in the future. There is a massive win-win if we all do it.
This is a terrible take.

Assuming you have a heart attack, your chance of dying is 20%. Higher if you don't get treatment.

That's as high or higher than your chance of dying from covid-19 assuming you're in the highest risk group.

A conservative estimate of likelihood to catch covid if you go to a hospital at this point is 5%. In reality it's probably lower.

These end up mostly cancelling out, so if you the I the chance you're suffering from a heart attack is higher than the chance of catching covid you should go to the hospital. (And this is me still fudging the numbers to make covid look comparatively more dangerous than it really is).

People will needlessly sir if we collectively overstate tht dangers of covid. That's without a doubt true. People will also die if we understate them and don't take reasonable precautions.

"Without cookies, it would not be able to update without you logging in every single time. Meaning every time you wanted to see a new tweet or post a reply, you would have to login again. Every time your browser had to load anything, it forgot who you were."

That's not true. User agents can remember the credentials you use for a domain. HTTP authentication was never really adopted and sites preferred using web forms and cookies for authentication.
I have created almost the opposite. A service that screenshots tweets so that you can share them on other platforms. Instagram is not directly supported, but you can use Buffer or other similar services.

That's an article about Damore's POV, so I believe the correct way to express it is that Damore claims he wrote it in response to a request for feedback. And given that he put it up with a go link, it's pretty clear he didn't just submit this as an email to the D&I team. He published it internally, hoping to spark discussion. So I think it's disingenuous to talk about this as if it were something Google's managers ordered him to do. Damore set out to cause a stir and got one.

> Some days I work 4 hours. Some days I work 12 hours until 1-2 am.

Do you track those hours to make sure you don't think you worked enough but in fact consistently work too little or too much? Wondering because I had that problem (working slightly too much every week).
But most evidence is pointing to the chicken-egg game starting from the demand side :)
Yes, but to make this argument you would have to demonstrate that the West somehow became much more gender egalitarian in the past 30 years in order to explain the drop in CS grads.

So what happened from the late 80s to now that resulted in women gaining more freedom and therefore shifting them out of CS? And more specifically: Why has this only affected computer science? The gender equality paradox supposedly holds for the entirety of STEM and yet we've seen woman graduates in STEM steadily rise across the board except for CS. Therefore that would make CS an outlier and not the norm.

That's assuming the gender equality paradox holds true which is likely not the case considering the issues with the assertion brought up in the Wikipedia article you linked (which I hope you read).
Fold expressions are expanded entirely at compile time to create a fixed-size expression that gets compiled normally (the number of terms in any given case is known before machine code is generated). Applying a fold over a std::vector would require runtime iteration (see std::accumulate).

This is essentially a QoL improvement for existing users of variadic templates, where unnecessary complexity was required to simulate the behavior fold expressions provide for packs.

>pontificate about this on an internet forum

it's not about "on an internet forum" it's in general - why don't we all reserve judgement more? we all know the answer of course: because we're arrogant and believe that our abilities to write software translate into abilities to do xyz.

Disclosures: Had to create a throwaway just for this. Normally (and almost always other than this case, I try not to attack the author).

I've worked with Kevin for over a year when he was at twilio, he was an avid contributor to weekly events and I never had any personal issues with him.

I want to say I've been extremely disappointed with the arc of his career, during his time at twilio I always viewed him as an extremely motivated (probably mostly self taught) engineer. He use to ask very though provoking questions and I found his perspective welcoming. After watching what he did with that VR newsletter startup, seeing some of his contributions in the Go community, and his talks. I've seen a talented young adult spout a lot of stupidity (e.g: this was a terrible talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZYrSIC6LFA), and Kevin, if you're reading this, go back to your roots man.
> I've started taking so much junk snacks (which wasn't available at Office)

What I've found helps is to not buy snacks. I eat junk if it's available, but if nothing is nearby, then I can't be bothered to go out and purchase it, so I'll eat a grapefruit instead.

Another thing that I have found helps is to order a community supported agriculture (CSA) produce box. A lot of farmers that supply restaurants are losing a lot of business lately, and at least in the Bay Area, many are starting to sell directly to consumers. I'm on a weekly schedule now where every Wednesday I pick up a box of restaurant quality vegetables in SF, and it's pretty fun because a lot of these vegetables are ones I've never even heard of before. It has become a hobby to come up with new types of meals, and it also gives my wife and I a nice break from the monotony to go for our vegetable pickup excursion.

One thing that has mystified me is all these people talking about text editor responsiveness, whether it feels "snappy" or not.

What are they talking about!?

I mean that as someone who has grown up with 3D shooters and is obsessive about tuning networks to the lowest possible ping times to improve latency for competitive gaming. I always turn triple buffering off because I can definitely feel the difference over double buffering.

Practically every editor I use updates with the maximum 60Hz refresh of my monitor, and that literally can't be improved upon any further through software alone. The exception is Microsoft Word, which does about 30Hz and I hate this, but it's a shitty WYSIWYG editor, not a simple fixed-width text editor.

I mean, seriously: I'm playing Doom Eternal at 4K with a constant 60fps, no dips. That game is processing a decent chunk of a terabyte per second of data at that rate.

What is this mysterious difficulty people have with editing ~100KB text files!?

Either this forum is full of people editing insane multi-gigabyte files (By hand? Why!?) or they're doing it on their 486SX PCs for nostalgia reasons.

I seriously don't get it.

Ask HN: What Airflow bug/lack of feature would make you use something else?
Switching costs to new systems are extremely high. Apache Airflow has a large ecosystem/Medium posts, cottage industries to help make Airflow more palatable, batteries included for integrations.

But it has many warts and gotchas. Are there any bad enough that would be worth your company's time and money to switch to something else?

I am not "cherry picking". I quoted the whole standard. It has three parts. I pointed to the part that in my view clearly does not apply. If you think it does apply, feel free to argue it. But standing on your expertise of being in the same room with lawyers once does not cut it for me.
COLMAP is generally underrated IMO. It's what I primarily use because it's very flexible for different pipelines, it produces one of the best SFM results as a starting place, and it's open source with direct access to the database and decent documentation.

You're missing the point.

When it comes to products, people's average evaluation is the objective answer. Because people's evaluations are what lead to usage, purchase, subscriptions, etc. There is no other "objective" answer.

There's nothing subjective about it. What users think about your product is your product in the marketplace. That's the entire meaning of "the customer is always right".

Satisfying user demand for a capability isn't a mathematics problem where there's some independently objectively right answer.
The memo was, but very few people read that and instead read what was spoon fed to them by their ideological rag of choice. Look how many comments on this HN post alone claim he said things he didn’t (the google women engineers were worse, women can’t code, all women are neurotic, etc).
I said Damore was asked for feedback not that his managers ordered him to write the document and then fired him for it. Damore claimed he originally wrote it as feedback for a diversity meeting he attended and then shared it for broader feedback.

To my knowledge this account has never been contested by Google or anyone else and is the agreed upon account. I agree it is possible that Damore is lying about why he wrote it, and that if Google said he wrote it under some different circumstances there would be ambiguity because Damore's own account could be self serving - but, just because it is possibly Damore is lying doesn't mean we should assume he is. There is no dispute about why he originally authored the memo, is there?

I agree, it gets old.

But I do think his point needs to be taken. We don't value engineering/science/solving hard problems enough in the US.
there's nothing in the least bit thought provoking about it because it have any substance only claims (vague allusion to "memes" and undefined "Predictive Processing"). i wonder why that is? might it be because GP admits they aren't actually expert enough to substantiate any of the claims?

and that's my point. i see claims all the time from people not entitled to make claims. i see substance very rarely. why? because claims are easy.

Do you mean where the virus is going to go, or where this situation will go?

Yes, most likely it will not get burnt out in the US until we have vaccine, herd immunity or the 3rd option, which is coalition/state/county level containment.

My comment reflected on the subject of these emergency field hospitals. Its A) not efficient to keep these up for the time being B) its unlikely we will be caught underestimating the virus the 2nd/3rd/xth time around.

And something else to just reiterate. There are multiple steps between "keeping the field hospitals operational" and "shutting them down". Just like there are multiple steps between "social distancing" and "opening back up". :)

Probably 10 or so years ago I had a few episodes that made me think I may be suffering from some form of mental illness (low on the "spectrum", but something nonetheless).

Since then I've thought a fair amount about mental illness in general and have a few theories.

1) Diet. Get the right materials into your body so it can do with them what it needs to. Especially early in life while brain is still forming.

2) Exercise. Make sure your body can get sufficient blood / oxygen to all parts of the body so it can function properly.

3) The brain, IMO, should be viewed as a TOOL Sure it is already part of our body but this is why I think it's so overlooked as a perspective. If I decided to do some landscaping and needed an excavator, I would need to learn how to use it, and practice in order to become efficient and effective with my use of it. I think it's same with the brain. New circumstances come up all the time and sometimes the people who experience them have not trained their brains to deal with them in an effective / efficient way. There should be more focus on this sort of perspective / reflection / learning and perform these generally-applicable exercises early in life. Not just math, science, english, etc.
