Issue real. But with one not so successful vendor out, what does it meant?

Also, with china here and like many technology could you not do it china would give up as well? Is it 2016 when the coronavirus study join with a us u stop due to concerns but not by china (Wuhan lab) that give them a lead? Or human genetic HIV research on baby?

> There are now many avenues to see how people develop that don’t require them spending a whole night coding for just a chance at an interview.

About two months ago I walked away from a pre-interview coding challenge that looked like it was going to take 8-12 hours. The problem was too many requirements.

The same job was posted in last week's "Who's hiring" thread. In this economy, if you can't hire, the problem isn't the candidates. It's you!
What part of it couldn't you comprehend? I understand what the article is saying. I'm talking about the dysfunctional Node.js ecosystem, which includes Typescript.

In response to your personal experience, I'll share my own: I switched from C++ to Java, to .net, to Node.js, to Typescript. Working on Node/TS I have never been on a team that wastes so much time fixing silly problems that a better language would simply not allow to happen in the first place. I have also never worked on a team that spends so much time dealing with issues in poorly written community packages, or arguing with package maintainers who could never in a million years pass a technical skills test at the company I work for.

Hey, I actually used to work on the numba compiler team at Continuum. I can say I don’t understand the last rant paragraph at all or why you think it’s related to my point about generators.
Not attempting to argue against democracy, but that the algorithms that control what news and items we see are very important, and they are not even open-source! They could take many different forms, some that don't promote outrage as a bottom line, and still be democratic. You mention "especially as we learn how to control the worst aspects of social media", but are we actually making any concrete progress in this area, that we can measure and also call fair?

>The oppressed people themselves are leading the narrative, not because it's fashionable

I'm simply suggesting that the narrative is led by what content is viral. Depending on what people like to talk about, sometimes that might be a just cause and appear to have good effects. But, there is not at all guaranteed, and the system doesn't really care if your cause is just or not, only if it is viral and profitable to report on, which generally means enraging.

> Cameras that can capture dark skin exist

This doesn’t help when the variance in feature space of white people’s faces is objectively a lot wider than the variance of black people’s faces. You can have the best camera in the world, but it’s not going to change the fact that someone from Ireland looks way more different versus someone from Italy (in any mechanical basis) than someone from Cameroon looks versus someone from Malawi.

Coding tests should be abolished.

There's almost never any science or systematic approach to evaluation.

How can you possibly evaluate a test without predefined criteria for evaluating that makes the result good and what makes it bad?

Whether or not the code is "good" is simply a matter of opinion in almost all cases.

Another down side to coding tests is that if the assessor knows less than you about some area of coding and sees something they don't recognise or understand, then they might well negatively view what in fact is a much better way of doing things.

And, much worse than anything else, you have a very tangible chance of spending 12 hours doing it and hearing nothing back at all.

And as for "Tic Tac Toe" as ANY sort of effective test topic, well, that's where you should pull out and find a different job to apply for, where they can at least formulate a relevant test topic and come up with tangible and defined criteria for measurement as well as a commitment from their end as to who will assess it, against what criteria and within what time frame and what feedback they will give you, if any. Ditch the Tic Tac Toe companies.

I did two coding tests in recent years ... in one, their feedback was "they didn't like it", and the other one I worked on for 12 hours because I believe in doing a good job and meeting the requirements, and I heard nothing at all back - not a single word.

Coding tests are, for the most part, bullshit.

A little, yeah. I wrestled with this as a parent as my kids got older and older. At some point my seven year old asked me is Santa was real and why we would tell her he’s real.

What is he referring to when he mentions "racial profiling" in the context of facial recognition? Is it just a disparity in training data?
Or used a weird model like this one which does some sort of Markov chaining to complete sentences that weren't even present in the original audio or transcription.

"foaming at the mouth" was never even close to being uttered on the radio. I'm guessing the (flawed) model inserted that part because of the proximity to the word "needle" and "assistance".

Maybe? No idea.. this website it totally fucked.
How would this increase the supply of teachers? Wouldn’t it do the opposite: increase demand?

I recall being amused maybe 3 years ago when I took a picture of two friends, one with dark skin, one with light skin, and the camera choose to expose for the darker skin. He looked fine, the lighter skin friend looked like snow lit by headlights. Completely washed out.

Hi lunixbochs!

Your prototype is amazing! The quality of transcription is definitely better than ours via Google.

After we did some legal research we wanted to avoid storing the recordings and rather solely transcription text. Giving access to a platform for humans to verify the transcriptions and in turn train the model is a great idea.

I have started working on getting some pre-trained models set up. I am trying to implement them with wav2letter, deepspeech, kaldi, vosk, etc. - I just need to be pointed in the right direction.

Raspberry Pi's were something I was considering as well - small energy footprint and powerful enough to run these models.

Do you have any advice on ML or acoustic models to avoid? I am working with the 100 hour dataset now.

Thanks!
One of the best things about TypeScript is that it compiles to very normal-looking JS. Its compilation step is almost entirely just stripping out type data, by design. I went through coffeescript pain before and like many didn’t expect to ever be happy to use a compiles-to-JS language, but TS really is different. If they change direction and start to add tons of stuff that doesn’t translate cleanly, I’ll get worried. Until then it’s very nice and comes with an escape hatch of just taking its output and making that your new codebase. It’s that clean-looking.
I think he misread the end and believes that the person didn't completely nixed the coding tests but instead offer what they believe to be "easier" tests.

What's your workload like, do you run a lot of heavy servers for development? Or do you mostly do browsing?

A growing/shrinking swap file doesn't really add anything, especially if you're thinking a 1:1 relationship with memory and swap. To me it seems like 16GB of HD space isn't that big a deal.

You can also play around with swap performance if you want temporarily.

https://linuxize.com/post/create-a-linux-swap-file/

Yes, it's going to be slower since you're using a file in a filesystem rather than using a dedicated partition, but it would give you a way to test it out. Some workloads will do better since the unused pages will get sent to disk.
The tech industry in California does just fine without noncompetes.

In fact, lack of noncompetes is probably one of the biggest reasons Silicon Valley was able to take off in the 1950s-60s when people were constantly leaving their jobs to start new chip companies, starting with the original "traitorous 8" who founded Fairchild Semiconductor.

There just aren't good arguments for noncompetes. People often bring up trade secrets, but that's not convincing -- there are already laws against stealing trade secrets, so you don't need noncompetes for that. Look at Anthony Levandowski as a high-profile example of someone who stole trade secrets in California and got nailed.

Typescript has been around since 2012. Going by the quote, it is likely to still be around in the next 8 years.
You would end up defining PropTypes, and ESLint is capable of keeping you in check there.

It's much worse than just using TypeScript (only at runtime, PropTypes aren't that useful anywhere else, PropType syntax doesn't match Flow, TS, or jsdoc, ESLint can't check any PropTypes you spread in), but it can get you by in a pinch.

Have you heard of darknet markets?
linting wouldn't, but if you're writing unit tests, that kind of problem would be caught pretty quickly.
I think I'd best say it as two parts, the first part is that the algorithms behind social media content are not known to us as end-users, which seems a bit unfair given that they control the entire world around us.

The second is that there is a system at work here that no individual person or company is in control of. If one news agency decides to not publish content that is outrageous, they may simply just be out-competed by all the others that decide to maximize for outrage, and no improvement will occur. Similarly, it's difficult for social media companies to simply 'change' their algorithms to do good things and promote good content, for this reason and many others.
Have you taken an antibody test? Been sick since you got over that illness in 2019? You could help add a datapoint to this Fall 2019 mystery.
Market economics at work. As long as there's far more (minimally) qualified applicants for a position than than there is capacity to usefully screen those applicants, you get less useful screening used prior to that to bring it to an acceptable level of work.

Affecting the screening process is hard, as an applicant. You really either have to game the system or just be that much better.

Affecting what you apply for to maximize your likelihood to not be screened out is probably much more useful, but also much less likely to be universally applicable. You can apply for in-person local jobs, but there may not be many good ones around you. You can market to one of your less common skills, or learn some new less common skills, but those may not be in demand locally or require a lot of work.

Actually, you cannot seriously separate the algorithm from the man. The algorithm is a reflection of Mark Zuckerberg. Anyone who argues otherwise ignores years of widely known precedents of how Mark Zuckerberg (along with a few others) drove Facebook and its algorithms to be this way. The algorithm is what’s made him so rich and continues to allow him to have so much shareholding control on the company.
It's interesting how many successful, creative people seem to be incapable at imagining themselves not being so successful one day.

What you perform well at today won't necessarily be valuable in the future.
This also works in TypeScript's favor. Meaning you can skip writing tests that simply check you're giving the correct props.

An abbreviated school day would at least help deal with non-participation in remote learning. Although schools would presumably try to deal with the reduced classroom hours with more homework of various kinds.

> I'm talking about the dysfunctional Node.js ecosystem, which includes Typescript.

Deno is, by definition, not Node.js. Typescript can live outside of Node (like when it's compiled for and runs in the browser). So I think you're getting downvotes because it reads like a generic rant about the same things we've already heard about in a context where it doesn't apply. I'm not going to argue with the notion that Node has many poorly written community packages, it does, but this core piece of Deno functionality does not use any.
Seriously, the show was named after the branch of the military. The creators have been totally open about that. The US announced the new Space Force branch, and the creators thought "that would be a funny show". Steve Carell explaining it: https://youtu.be/TQggDFcXy88?t=322
> Also the 664 hours of training for the police doesn't include the months trainees ride with a partner for real on life on the job training.

In most other countries, this is done on top of actual in class and practical training rather than instead of.

It isn't "intellectually dishonest" to point out that police are under-trained and use a different career to highlight it. It is however intellectually dishonest to suggest that "on the job" training, which is to say working with the full powers and authority of a police officer, while ostensibly being "untrained" according to the internal logic of your argument is somehow acceptable.

Either police ARE ready to go out on the street at 664 hours, or they aren't. If they are then there's no reason count the "on the job" portion, and if they're not then maybe we shouldn't be letting untrained people out onto the street to figure it out on the fly. It is dangerous for them and for the public they interact with.

My four year old is about to enter pre school. I can't trust her to consistently follow good sanitary practice!

A few months ago she thought it was funny to lick her hands clean, like a cat, after going to the bathroom. She sometimes walks up to me with a booger on her finger and doesn't even think to wash her hands.

I don't know how the pre-school we arranged for her (in Massachusetts) will handle this.

There is a learning curve either way. It’s either an in house container orchestration platform or one of the open source ones. Coinbase seems to have chosen the former.

K8s is simply a good default environment which provides rock solid stability for your applications by outsourcing the distributed systems complexity to your infrastructure team (whether its internal to your company or to a managed one like GKE). Teams are not using it just because it’s “cool” (maybe some are), there is no need to develop in house strategies to deploy and keep an app running and scale it (among other things; this is the lowest common denominator).

It’s the same reason why big data tech has somewhat standardized on a set of tech (spark, airflow etc): once people learn the system, they can focus on building products that provide value rather than building the products and the relevant infrastructure.

You should absolutely use TypeScript for this. This is exactly what TS is for, to assert your types (proptypes, interfaces, classes, etc.) Switch to .tsx files too. There's a bit of a learning curve for TS, but it's well worth it. You should also type your global store (whether it's in react or redux), your dispatchers, and your action creators. And if you're doing redux, consider redux-toolkit. Turn off implicit any, assert types on everything you can, don't use !, learn about union types.

Hit me up in the e-mail in my profile if you want to discuss this further, would be happy to help and discuss my reasoning further. I've been doing a LOT of TS code recently on all the major target platforms for React - browser, electron, and react-native. I manage a team who's built several applications now and we use TS for everything, including an automatically-generated TS api interface that exposes types from our C# REST backend using swagger directly to the client code.
