When I was coming out of school, non-prestige schools (and locales) were simply left out of recruiting altogether. I graduated literally first in my class year, with a BS in CS and Business Administration minor... and wasn't pursued at all. Meanwhile, I already had a software engineering career going, enjoying the setting and challenge as well, and I wasn't particularly concerned at the time. I had developed a skill set spanning both programming and computing center operations (having started there), and I was pretty invaluable in my group from the outset, and the recognition was really valuable to me.

So, you'd think that management in my group (at least) might consider panning for additional nuggets in the same stream (top performers at lower-prestige schools), right?

No.

The hiring manager did recruiting trips where he wanted to travel. New York. Hawai'i. Etc.

He'd hire one candidate from each locale, apparently to justify the trip. Attractive female candidates didn't even have to meet the official policy constraints (a Sociology degree is not CS, engineering, or even BA, sir).

Eventually, I got recruited elsewhere not by any standard channel but by a personal friend.

Not everyone is born into resources. I had to both support myself and put myself through school. That constrained my choices and forced me to be resilient in ways peers my age didn't need to be. Employers who hire by formula completely omit my kind.

So how do find a good software developer without paying a lot of salary for trial and error? The real good ones are rarely available, there are many more who will create a buggy mess. And now imagine, that you don't understand anything about software development yourself.

So what you are asking for is simply impossible, there is no silver bullet.

I would hope not to use any additional space. A naive approach is to choose 1 bit out of N from the first hash, 1 out of the remaining N-1 from the second hash, and 1 out of the remaining N-2 from the third, and so on.
Sun RPC marketing message, "The network is the computer".

So yeah, we keep going at this, and then people discover that monoliths written in a correct modular way, with libraries, happen to be easier to debug and reason about without a network in the middle.

Main problem seems to be that not many developers bother to read about modular programming, large scale development (like Lakos books) and what features their language of choice offers for such endeavours.
First of all I learned Z80 assembly, because BASIC was too slow. Then I moved to Intel and 8086 assembly!

That's not so helpful, so more seriously the way that I started was to spend a lot of time reading tutorials and writing sample programs. Back in the day I read virus "magazines" like 40Hex, because they had decent examples of intel assembly and often useful discussion.

These days I've been revisiting things writing a couple of simple compilers:

https://github.com/skx/math-compiler/

https://github.com/skx/bfcc/

The first was mostly written because I'd not done anything recently with floating-point, and the second because compiling brainfuck programs to assembly seemed like it would result in fast programs.

Simple projects like those above could be written quite quickly I think, because they only involve writing a very small collection of "primitives" (such as "write string to STDOUT", or "sin(x)"). They're almost template-based programs.
> Of the top ten states for per capita deaths, eight have Democrat governors.

This is going to change rapidly over the coming days, as the virus is rapidly growing the south.

According to JHU, for confirmed cases (not deaths, as in your comment): AZ (#3), FL (#5), MS (#8), AL (#9), SC (#10). (50/50) In approx. another week, GA (currently #11) will probably also become #10.

I've been deriving this data from the JHU data (which is on GitHub) myself for a while now: https://imgur.com/a/RpjEm9Z ; the full chart is remarkably busy, and not that great. I mean to try to clean it up into something more usable, but I've been swamped with my day job all week.

I expect deaths will generally follow in the coming weeks, regrettably. There might be some variance, of course, between states in deaths-per-captia, and that is a graph I've been meaning to make (since that might show something interesting about which states are better dealing with infections), especially after Chris Wallace's interview with Trump, and the remarks the President made there.

Apparently LA (#1) has a Democrat. Huh.

You're forgetting a group (that probably existed all along): many people simply don't care.

Also the fact that people actually feel the need to have bans on talking about politics eg at the workplace doesn't seem like a good sign to me, and that's hardly new at all.
Create two restaurants with the same exact look, menu, appliances and prep but different names and Yelp/Google entities. Enter bad reviews in one, and see what happens. That's how we would be able to tell if its the reviews or the restaurant that hurt the restaurant.

An aside: With this mesh of human and company rights [whether or not you agree], does a company -- like people + GDPR -- have the right to be forgotten, or not exist somewhere they wish not to?
I agree and that was the thought that stuck with me through the article. Of course they’re different. To be highly reductive, let’s just say backend focuses mostly on data ingestion, transformation and storage, and fronted does UI, graphics and event reaction. Yes, a lot of it looks similar from a far enough height. Yes, they both have their challenges. No, they aren’t the same thing. The work is different, and the tools and ecosystems have evolved differently to cope with their unique aspects.
Indeed. The simplest one-dimensional case of the Kalman filter is just exponential smoothing, which you can implement and tweak in a spreadsheet. Unfortunately the leap to the general multivariate case is still pretty big.

I agree with this article more than I expected. I suppose a more accurate title would be "Dividing front end development from back end development is an antipattern". At first I thought it was about the actual act of separating the codebases.

I find it really baffling how much animosity there is towards front end. Nobody goes out hating on back end. If I had to guess why there's so much hate, I'd posit lack of control. Front end development requires relinquishing a lot of control. You can't really choose your programming language. You can't choose your styling language. Often times you're being told how something should look by a designer, which can be a bit of a blow to the ego. Being ordered around by a gasp artistic person. The horror.

Even if you get to decide how things look, that's even worse in some ways. I know I've spent hours slaving over designs that just don't look good. Maybe you give up and resort to Bootstrap/Material Design, but that certainly feels like defeat.

I'll admit. Front end takes some acclimation. I hated debugging JavaScript for the longest time. But with modern tooling it's quite nice. Plus there's something really amazing and challenging about having real, non technical people interact with your code. Only developers will notice an API bug, but everybody will notice a client side bug.
Just because front end development is adopting similar engineering practises and rigour to server-side development doesn't mean that it's now the same thing.

Testability and maintainability should be core competencies of any engineering or technology role, whether it's front end development, back end development, building IoT devices, or designing airplanes.
Interesting. How do you remove the background ?

There's this one purely catering (Vietnamese) coffee "company" that has entirely pivoted to pop-ups the past few months, and using donations from customers to fund deliveries of coffees to hospitals and other front-line worker orgs.

I'm sure that not _every_ business can do this, but I've definitely enjoyed supporting this business in particular because I like their coffee, and I know it's supporting them and the community at least for now.

I think for some businesses they just won't be able to survive unless they can pivot. One way that I've seen is by giving up a brick and mortar location, moving to a shared/communal kitchen, and then doing pop-ups.

The pass by Mt Salkantay was just over 15K ft at the highest point. I’d been training in Colorado so didn’t get sick, but definitely felt it! One person in our group did get a bit sick, our guide had him huff some kind of tincture. The coca candies/tea helped a bit as well.

Edit to add: the first day in Cuzco is pretty rough though, spent all day lounging and napping. It’s around 11K ft.
Yes, doing distributed systems programming since around 1996.

List of stacks I have used in some form since then, raw TCP/IP for in-house RPC protocol, SUN RPC, RMI, COM/DCOM, XML-RPC, SOAP, CORBA, REST, WCF and apparently gRPC is the new fashion.

At the same time, I also done modular development with teams responsible for modules, where the language features for creating modules, defining interfaces, and use binary dependencies are taken into use.

What I usually see with most "distributed systems" is that they are used as a physical solution for teams that never written a proper module in their life.

If monoliths with total lack of modularity are hard to debug, spaghetti network calls are even less fun.
I use some amount of opencv magic and machine learning to remove the background. Have you checked the quality of the background removal process, were you satisfied?
It's not too difficult: hash function 1 generates an integer from 0 to n-1, that index element is deleted, then hash function 2 generates an integer from 0 to n-2, that element is deleted etc.

This is an O(n^2) algorithm, which you can improve to O(nlgn) using fenwick trees.

In practice however, it is much quicker to generate random hashes and repeat until they're distinct.
I mean, no one is advocating eliminating single family zoning nationally either. Your characterization of Biden’s plan is totally wrong.

Frontend development has gotten more difficult in recent years as the tools we have available have gotten more powerful. Designers and product managers demand more as they see other companies push the limits of what is capable. There should be some corollary to Parkinson's law for this.

I generally disagree that having some separation between client and service is undesirable. Everyone needs to be a generalist to some degree, but frontend specialists are important (speaking as a frontend specialist). There's just so much people need to know in order to be really productive and not make a mess with JavaScript, frontend frameworks, and DOM APIs that I'm skeptical that they'd be able to balance that with having a deep understanding and breadth of knowledge of backend systems.

Anyone knows if it's possible to do something similar with a Fitbit? Basically extracting the data without having to sync it with fitbit's servers?
That would fix the final independence problem, but it would also require further changes to other stages of the proof.

For example, this strategy would then mean that when calculating the probability of a single bit being set, the hash outcomes are no longer independent, which means that a different expression would be needed.

Additionally, from a practical sense, this variation might also be more costly to execute, as setting bits would go from a single memory access to a linear scan.

I think it might be interesting to look into though.
Note that you don't really "get <a proof assistant> to refuse to accept" an incorrect result, you just fail to construct a proof for it, as the author talks about in their reply.

What you can do, sometimes, is succeed in proving the negation of the incorrect result.
> In california reopening moved our daily death rate from ~60ppl per day to ~90

~90 if you're using something like a seven day average.

Today and yesterday have both been >150.

There's a lot of latency separating actions like reopening and the consequences of that in terms of covid-19 deaths.

It could be weeks-months before large numbers of people even start taking advantage of the reopening let alone getting infected as a consequence, then more weeks to die.
It's also quite sexist. There's no equivalent male name that is anywhere as popular. Yet there's certainly many older entitled guys.
To be perfectly honest what I want to see, for the specific C++ case cited, is std::all_of with a suitable predicate. Let the compiler figure it out.

Plugged it into compiler explorer and clang 10 does unroll the std::all_of version, doing four chars at a time.
> indie coffee shops will come again.

Old data, but a decade ago, I saw an independent coffee shop for sale for around $50k. Obviously, not everyone can afford to open one, but the barrier to entry is relatively low. Boeing and Airbus are too big to fail for the same reason: they're strategically important, no one else has the knowledge and expertise to build large passenger jets (Embraer and Bombardier might be able to do it in a pinch), and redeveloping this would take too long.
If you find yourself wanting to say “I told you so” too often, you need to ask yourself some questions, maybe you’re not in the right place.

Bitwise hacks in production code? Seriously?

This is a nice gimmick to show off in an interview because the interviewer is definitely not going to get it, however it might backfire because the interviewer might realize a) you'll be out to get his job b) you might actually want to put stuff like this into production.

The idea is solid, don't get me wrong, and clever code is always clever code. Also like u/kevingadd mentions, the principle behind the thought is an important one, knowing when and how to handle data in bulk since you are looking for a needle in the haystack. For instance SQL and streams in Java are places where you need this kind of thinking.

But please, for the love of Gord, never put this bit of code in production.
Yeah like the other comment said, they leak.

I visited in December 2017 and was worried about altitude sickness, but was quite rushed the days before the trip and didn’t have a chance to get sickness pills from my doctor.

I personally didn’t feel any symptoms, and neither did my friends. We’re all active and healthy people in their 20s.

The only real impact was reaching a shortness of breath much more quickly: hiking and such was certainly a lot more difficult than I’m used to at sea level. I had the same type of experience ski touring in Colorado; never really feeling satiated from breathing during vigorous activity.
Nvidia Tegra is a rent seeking expensive chip. Nvidia has a habit of stopping people from using certain chips through EULA. None of the car manufacturers are using Nvidia Tegra in their autonomous drives for this reason. Even Tesla which started out with Tegra stopped using it.

This will probably be a very unpopular opinion, but I think that making an exhibition of Bob Ross’ paintings makes no sense, as the painting themselves have close to zero artistic value. The real artistic value of Bob was performative, and is inextricably tied to his use of the video medium.
The exhibition has a simple tv showing some episodes of his show, but that should be the tentpole of the display, not just one addendum. The painting in themselves are artistically irrelevant divertissement, they are important only because they were painted by Bob Ross. Owning one would be justified by that, but exhibiting them as work of arts on their own merit? Meh.
