> I cannot give every application 1-2 hours of review if I get 100+ resumes.

Your process has already failed if you're considering 100+ people!

First, you should never be getting 100+ resumes for a role. If you are, you need to write better job descriptions and/or get a better recruiter who knows how to match to the job description.

With that in place, you (I) are getting about 10-20 resumes at most. Then what I do is read them and rank them. Takes less than two hours.

I'll only interview the top five from this stack. I'm happy to give each of these five people however many hours of attention it takes, they and I deserve it.

This way the people who didn't get to the interview round have not wasted any of their time which is the most respectful way to handle it.
I agree, I change the SSH port on all machines and have much less hacking results from drive by hackings.

> Don't do "screening" interviews. Only do "hiring" interviews.

Good way to put it. Exactly.
One of my previous managers would set up the white board interview for a candidate by giving them a simple problem application (not a course-grading system but similar) to draft out on the whiteboard an initial design. Then they would add in additional details/requirements in about three stages. So the candidate at some point would typically have to back track and revise some of their initial design to accommodate the new requirements.

It was a good measure of how well they communicated, how they dealt with undoing some of their prior work, and the process was fairly representative of the type of work involved in the position.
I just had a go and thought I'd found somewhere with a 60km road-free radius, then zoomed out and found that I'd strayed into Mexico.

Sugar bunker, just NW of Las Vegas has a few places with 50km (~30 miles) though.
For context, in many European countries (including Italy where I grew up) 14 year olds can drive mopeds or moto scooters up to 50cc and limited to a max speed of 45km/h, however most of the times[1] those have post-market modifications installed, either at home or by unscrupulous mechanics, in order to go much faster.

A large portion of the public opinion in those countries see those mini-cars as a safer 4-wheel alternative.

I'm not saying that those mini-cars are safe or that they are great for the environment, just putting things into perspective for people who are not familiar with the situation in Europe.

[1] I don't have official statistics but anecdotally I can say that as a teenager, almost everyone I knew had modified their moped or scooter.
Because it's a coordination problem. You can make lifestyle changes to reduce the waste and emissions you produce, but half of the people in your building can't be arsed to separate their trash.

That's in Germany, where people seemingly care about the environment. Go to southern Europe and you'll see roads lined with trash. Go to Turkey and you'll undo all of your work in a week or two.

It feels pointless.

I've often wondered about using an older OS such as OpenVMS for which hacking tools simply don't exist.
Only because Java is yet to support value types.

In languages like Nim and D, where all C++ allocation mechanisms are available alongside a GC heap, there are plenty of ways to improve performance.
Thank you for seeing the question for what it is. Genuinely was wondering if there are good alternatives to controlled burns. If not then of course controlled burns are significantly better than wild fires.

One thought that crossed my mind was if a burn after collecting the debris can be used for energy generation with proper emissions filtering/control etc. That would also offset other energy related emissions. But as someone below writes perhaps the collection and transportation of the debris would take more energy than what this would generate.
We've been building https://plummail.co to tackle the problems with CC and BCC. As well as other problems with remote communication.

Slack was a disaster for us when we last tried using it. Several people muted it for hours at a time, the only way to get someones attention was to call. By which point it was probably important enough to warrant a call.

Our theory is that for people to be able to focus on work for reasonable periods of time you need good async communication. And for that need good sync communication for where it's appropriate.
We've been using whereby.com for video calls, much better than zoom. This is where we all checkin and Sam/Pat find out what the need to keep an eye on, and then they can start a thread on plum mail for the content they need to keep track of over time. One of the favourite features we have build from a manager side of things is the following.
A manager can join a conversation, but then set the notification level to be only notified when a conversation is resolved, i.e. they find out the conclusion and can see the history if they want, but the aren't distracted by the discussion towards the conclusion
No, they are not sophisticated ML models. Such things don't exist in this space as far as I know.

The ones that cheat are in racing games. The hardcore sims that have AI bots don't usually cheat, and they are the ones that are fast by themselves but hopeless and/or dangerous in a pack.

That would be good for the environment if it would replace larger cars, but seems to end up bad for it (globally. Locally, going electric likely is a plus), as it mostly replaces scooters for healthy teenage drivers, which should be replaced by human-powered bicycles.
I used to live next to a high-school in the south of France. A lot of teens with these "without-license" cars, mostly Twizy [1] and Chatenet [2], this is not a new phenomena.

> which is sort of what fold left or right is doing (but with z g and f being the same function).

> it's a more higher order form of composition

More precisely, a fold performs function composition on the provided operator curried with the respective elements, so that z g and f above are different functions (hence not commutative in general, but associative in general, wrt folding).

Its also a terrible thing to say to your pointy haired boss, which is in part where I think the heresy of talking about it comes from. If you say "security" that's the last thing your boss heard you say "oh yeah obscurity, great, that's cheap!" and you end up in camouflage in the field, with no tank.

I don't like the article the more I think about it, it speaks of inexperience and perhaps not understanding the concept well, and that it is important to accurately articulate and distinguish concepts. No one is going to argue that camo isn't an advantage to a soldier, but it is not security in any meaningful sense, no more than camouflage is a bunker, or a trench, or a tank.

And Camo comes with a real downside too, just like in the field, if you're camo'ed too well, you're apt to take friendly fire or be missed by artillery lobbing a shell.
I don't agree with the use of such invasive software, but there's some context to the discussions that I think is important.

> If you want to ensure the integrity of students’ education, try teaching them about consent and ethical computing.

Cheating in schools is _rampant_ (1), and it has little to do with teaching students ethics. It's just something that's going to happen. And kids cheat for all sorts of reasons. Some do it for better grades. Some do it for fun. Some are otherwise great performers, but do it because they're lazy.

Many of these students are enabled by their parents/guardians. Hell, some of these kids have their guardians explicitly help them cheat.

It's hard enough to control academic dishonesty in-person. But wide spread online learning has made the problem an order of magnitude worse. Teachers that want to address it are left with precious few options.

So it's no wonder to me that educators are turning to things like Proctorio, even if I don't agree with that decision. The article's points about privacy and disproportional harm to disadvantaged students is spot on. I just felt that it elided what a huge problem cheating itself is.

I wish for good public transportation. Many Asian countries seem to get it right and it's way less risky statistically. My friend in HK love talking about the buses and trains. They are always on time.

Right now, I would prefer to have this over my bike or a scooter because Indian roads are such a hell. Many people here don't even have driving license and jaywalking is common. A new emerging trend is people sticking to their phone while driving.

I would feel much safer. Even my dad get into almost accidents a few times monthly. He has been driving for decades and always maintain a stable speed of under 45kmph.
> If you read up about the state of HLS tools as of today, you will find enough experts telling you that they're nowhere near finding actual use in the industry, most of them only end up taking away the control you have over the design and all of them use way more resources when implemented than HDLs.

> On the other end you have beginners asking stupid questions like 'okay how do I print hello world using python on this FPGA?'

If the nations have a tax treaty, you are usually not double taxed on income below some threshold. Last I checked, it was around the first $100k or so worldwide income, for US taxes anyway. After that, you are taxed at some rate, but I’m not sure if it is reduced at all or how different forms of income may affect this.

You were all probably low on iron, among other things.* B12, Calcium, Omega-3's, and a handful of trace elements are also on that list. Most of those can be solved by supplementation, but iron's more tricky. Likely why life evolved carnivorous tendencies in the first place - the iron is safely tucked away in a readily-absorbed heme complex.

Iron's one of those things your body doesn't absorb easily through supplements, and competes with Calcium absorption (So, no taking it in multivitamins or consuming dairy at the same time you take it, otherwise it will inhibit absorption). It will also chelate with tannins (which are in teas, coffee, wine, and chocolate), which also inhibits absorption. And, for more fun, if you over-do it on the iron, it will horribly poison you, so, uh, basically check with a doctor re: supplements. That said, if you're good about balancing out the protein, iron, b12, calcium, and omega-3's (among others), you'll feel a lot less crappy in transitioning over to a plant-based diet.

I agree that Sonoma county is mighty cliquey and likes to beat around the bikeshed... but, I also don't think they're the ones who would do controlled burns. I'm also glad that we have (some) state officials that know what they're doing on controlled burns since they're hard to do without endangering people, property, and prosperity. Certainly, it's a lot better than having a bunch of SWE figure it out by reading news articles or wikipedia. Maybe that's what happened in Big Sur?

I don't claim to be an expert, but I've talked to oldfarts^d^d^d^d^d^d^d^d people (partnered with First Peoples) who have designed controlled burns, forest management experts with degrees in the topic, and even folks who run timber companies... and it's known there's a lot that could be done, but... the Santa Cruz and West Sonoma redwood fires are unprecedented. It takes a lot to get those coastal forests ablaze... enough that you're not going to get a controlled burn in Cazadero, Bonny Doon, or Empire Grade. They (unlike the interior) don't typically burn more than every 50-100 years. You can log reasonably large areas and remove underbrush, but in a wildfire like these last few weeks the flames can jump miles and that's too much area to safely log (mud slides) or regularly burn. Big Creek lost a lot of good timber in well managed forest that didn't stop the fires.

I'm also confused by the idea that if the same areas of Napa and Lake county could just burn a few more times then they wouldn't burn the next few years. It hasn't worked the last 3 times (really check caltopo for the burn overlap). It's just low brush that grows back quickly, because all of the trees that were on it have been burnt off. Then you get to Sierras where the pine beetle has created huge areas of kindling... but where was that beetle 300 years ago? Not in the Americas. How invested were the Miwok in stationary real estate? Not so much, it was a different time and a different attitude.

This all just has the ring of climate change denial...

So, if I get the political idea behind cryptocurrency, it would be that for example, no one could control or intercept exchange of money between individuals? But instead the members of the cryptocurrency itself is in control of the rules around the exchange?

So for example, there could be a cryptocurrency that imposes a tax on transactions, but the tax could just go back evenly distributed to all members of the cryptocurrency?

And if a certain group within that didn't like this scheme, they could choose to move to some other cryptocurrency with a scheme they'd prefer? But now between cryptocurrencies, your exchange power would be dictated based on which crypto's total assets are? Thus which crypto is most popular would be valued more between cryptos as well?

If I understood well till here let me know.

From that, what I wonder is, wouldn't each cryptocurrency then be it's own state, but just in a virtual sense?

So if that aligned with a geography, wouldn't we just be back in the same system as gold and/or cash money but digital?

For example, if all US citizen traded in crypto X. And if crypto X had in its code rules that transactions outside crypto X into another crypto arn't allowed? Or come with some tax on the transaction? Or needed to be recorded permanently as too how much each wallet was transacting outside? And after some amount the wallet would get seized, or would get capped out? Etc. And that all taxed and seized money would go a particular wallet that is controlled by an elected group of member that can allocate where the money goes? Etc.

I say that because, all this happened with gold and cash money? And they were similarly anonymous and untraceable? So I'm trying to see what is different in crypto that it couldn't lead to this type of group organization of people into states?

Taxing carbon is just removing the carbon subsidy that we currently enjoy because it isn’t sustainable. If we decide we want to subsidize India’s pollution or whatever, we can still do that.

I am a strong believer in the Swiss cheese model[1] of risk mitigation. I first learnt about this through pilot training and apply it throughout my professional life now.

A lot of comments here are saying "don't do x, do y." or "x and y are useless, you should just do z".

The Swiss cheese model helps you visualise that adding and recognising having many layers of defense carry value and should be recognised as such.

Let's form the issue here using an example from the regulation:

A bank holds personal data about its customers. This includes details of each customer’s address, date of birth and mother’s maiden name. The bank uses this information as part of its security procedures. It is appropriate for the bank to retain this data for as long as the customer has an account with the bank. Even after the account has been closed, the bank may need to continue holding some of this information for legal or operational reasons for a further set time.

Based on that, I'd suggest its entirely reqasonable to posit:

An online app store holds personal data about it's customers. This includes payment information and a list of apps that have been purchased, including free apps, and which of those apps have been downloaded. It is appropriate for the app store to maintain this information so they can allow the customer to install apps on their devices and link in app purchased made in those apps to the correct account. Even after the app has been removed from a device, the app store may need to continue holding some of this information for legal and/or operation reasons.

Arguing that app store purchases are sensitive is some what missing the wood for the trees. What matters is what is done with the information. If Apple (or Google, Sony and Microsoft - they all run similar stores) use this in an attempt to target app store recommendations, the negative inpact on the individual is extremely debatable, certainly from the point-of-view of GDPR. If they are using the information to build a profile of an individual to sell access to that individual to 3rd parties, then there is a problem.
