Is it actually? The results of the recent census paint a picture of a country which, in the long run, might become the largest economy in the world, but will struggle to maintain growth - more so than the west.
I think people certainly need to understand that DS&A are a thing, and time/space complexity is a thing.

The problem is the way they test for this makes no sense. At most having done DS&A will flash some lights in my mind when an n^2 or higher solution comes up, ie I will think about how to do it better. But that thinking will inevitably lead me to google for a better answer, rather than plumb my limited memory capacity for how to do it. So it's a principle that relies on the right tools to get implemented, and that's rarely what anyone asks for in the interview.

More than anything else I've ever done, coding is an exploration. And nobody seems to test for that, they seem to all test for whether you've already been down a certain cave, recently. For instance, I can write a mobile app that trades stocks on an exchange through a server. I could write both the apps and the server for you. I've literally done all the bits that you would need to do this. If you ask me some random question about Swift or C++ syntax, I will fail. Because having those in my mind's cache is not sensible. Knowing that sorting is probably already a solved problem, or knowing what the unsolved problems ahead are, those are useful.

The real thing you need to do as a programmer is to handle complexity. Not in the big-o sense, but in the sense of keeping the mess of code a sensible size, in a way that allows you to make future changes easily, and allows collaborators to contribute easily. This is both a code thing and a people thing. Yet I don't come across a lot of people asking about how this is done.

What's with the obsession with parallel computing? All the variations on "this bit is O(N^3) but if you have N computers working on it in parallel it's O(N^2)" - that's not how that notation works.

Next step for the author is to represent the RSA challenge number factorizations as Hamiltonian graph problems. Once they've claimed the prizes, we'll know the paper is worth looking at.
I'm interested in alternative theories of this kind of social movement and who signs up for it, article or not. Or rather, I would be interested in alternative theories, if I thought that the article was fundamentally wrong rather than just a bit dated in the presentation; understandably so as it was written 80 years ago.

Any thoughts? Or should we say that it's just random who signs up?
Surly the fundamentals of programming are converting between binary, octal hex by hand basic set theory, the standard control structures etc.

I'd love to hear from a mature scientist familiar with this advice from the outset of their career tell us how the reality lined up, things like '“A scientist will normally have contractual obligations to his employer and has always a special and unconditionally binding obligation to the truth.”' seem a little idealistic in a contemporary setting?
> music theory has also an implicit application, which is that people who learn music theory become better musicians in general. Even though the person might not be composing their own songs, their understanding of how music works likely makes them extremely comfortable playing and improvising any kind of song.

I think the author is trying too hard to draw a correlation between algorithm and programming. Knowing algorithm doesn't mean you implicitly know how to program.

He is also ignoring the masses that simply memorize the answers without knowing why a specific algorithm is used. Most will freely admit they can't remember these fundamentals after a few months. I don't blame them though because you are expect to give the optimal answer with a snap of a finger in interview. All those interviewers that argue they want to understand the thought process of the interviewee are simply lying to themselves. Some of them are even browsing the internet while you solve the question.

The real reason large companies use algorithms is because too many people apply for a job. Many are equally qualified and they need a way to justify their hire. 200 applicants in 1 hour for every single job.

The real sin are startups that think they are Google and use the same interview process to feel better about themselves. I have seen more than a few interviewers with a chip on their shoulder at some no-name startup.
Professional miners usually underclock and undervolt their cards. A constant load is also less stressful on the die and pcb than repeated heating and cooling cycles. The one thing you might have to replace on well kept GPUs are the fans.

> If you want to make progress in any area, you need to be willing to give up your best ideas from time to time. [...] Medawar notes that he twice spent two whole years trying to corroborate groundless hypotheses.

Unfortunately, being willing to scrap your idea is only one part of the equation. Securing funding after 2 "failed" post-docs is an entirely different matter.

Well, I guess if you compare prison labour vs nothing, like that, then it sounds all good. If you compare slave/underpaid labour vs proper-wage labour, then it's probably putting people out of a job. Also, it sounds like the last thing the US needs is more commercial incentive to put people in prison.
The corporate arm of Google has some seriously strange Scientology style vibes about it and I think that is a big driver naturally in their approach to design.

If you go and read the material design docs for example, this isn’t my full time area of expertise but I don’t see anything controversial in there and there is no way in hell that they haven’t tested the hell out of it from every possible angle but the outcome is honestly kind of soulless.

My actual full time area of expertise is in running A/B tests and I’ll be the first to say that the link between “good aesthetics” and what actually works is much weaker than you might expect. See Amazon for another clear example.
Not going obsolete doesn't mean not improvable. Seems a reasonable question.
I would say that in the best case we would take turns sharing about something personally important and being listened to and engaged with where we're at instead of quickly pulled off in another direction. For a bit anyway, before you get the ball.

I think the core of this question is generosity of time and attention, each person's ability to suspend their solipsism and engage with the other person as a person of equal importance to themselves. A good conversation is an act of intimacy.

We all want to be heard but no one ever seems to want to do the listening.
From the piece: "incarcerated people working for the state’s correctional industries earn an average of $4.50 per day."
Even if you were absolutely correct about improved outcomes (I don't know what/if the data shows), there is still a major problem that would still make prison labor as it exists today problematic or even immoral: it creates a huge incentive to imprison more people through various means (stricter laws, opposition to drug reform, mandatory minimums etc.). The prison industrial complex is a major lobby for these issues, so this is not just a theoretical concern.

A system that would improve the life of people after prison without falling for this pitfall would have to entirely remove the profit motive from prison labor (for example by prohibiting the prison to keep any proceeds from prison labor, or by paying inmates competitive rates for the work they are doing, so that overall prison labor is guaranteed to be more expensive than just hiring/outsourcing etc).

There is no such thing as unnecessary learning as the benefits of something learn can pay in an unexpected way later on. Which is how some great discoveries were made. I agree that reading too much is a form of procrastination, but advocating ignorance is no good either.
> Nobody was claiming that implementations of bad ideas don't exist.

Actually it sounded a lot like you were saying that the only way to do this was pricing.

Either way, you'd have to go a long way to convince me that the free market ideology principles are always better than what we can see working in a number of wealthy, successful countries already.

A carbon tax and dividend is certainly one way that such things could be achieved, though it's not the only way and it is a blunt instrument. It's not the only way or necessarily the best, and it doesn't allow a society to make choices with much granularity.

Your argument is basically that it is wrong to do so - I think that's a pseudo-religious belief.
If it gets down to 1k again like a few years ago, I'll buy!
I would be fine with it if there was no profit made, or the profits would go to rehabilitation of these individuals. Being able to make a profit off prison labor is a bad incentive.

Kind of how America went from the slave labor system to the prison labor system seamlessly. There was just too much money to be made.
No real data, but in my decades of gaming I didn't really hear of people buying the top card in hopes to resell it later and make it affordable.

In my experience people buy what they can afford. So mostly *60/*70 (Ti) Nvidia cards. Few people who I know bought the 1080 are still using it. The second life for gaming GPUs mostly is to serve friends/relatives who ask to help building a PC for them.
GPUs will cost less only when cryptocurrencies are outlawed or otherwise crash.
I don’t think you’re right, but what’s more interesting to me is just how much our opinions seem to diverge! I’m a developer as well, I use Linux (Debian with StumpWM) as my daily driver, and Mac for work. I’m pretty familiar with Macs, macOS, and iOS I’d say.

There could be so many reasons why we diverge, but I suspect we’d probably disagree on what we consider a “design philosophy” or “the details” in the first place.

Maybe it’s true that I only see the “common” things (and it’s great we agree that the “common” things are consistent!), but I’m curious where you see seriously inconsistent or plainly bad visual design at the proverbial fray that doesn’t exist in other ecosystems of this scale.

It's always nice to learn how tools implement this. Especially interesting to me, because I am currently working on a similar tool, although more focused on the plain text aspect (think Markdown + widgets). I am facing slightly different challenges because widgets have to live in a plain text context. For instance, having a widget (say interactive diagram) as part of a Markdown blockquote. On the other hand I don't have to deal with nested blocks (yet), because regular Markdown elements are just text (with fancy styling though). Another challenge is something like $a+b=c$ where it is shown as rendered LaTeX when the user's caret is not touching that part of the document. Also, contenteditable is hard.
It might be a stretch to call them startups. Often it's just a domain name with an idea attached to it. It might come with a proof-of-concept weekend project if you're lucky, but you'll probably need to rewrite that app anyway.

A few thousand dollars doesn't sound bad for a decent domain name and an interesting idea into which someone has put a few days' worth of time and effort. A functional webapp would be nice but not strictly necessary.

>By letting prisoners become familiar with expectations of a job, and get used to being paid, managing finances, and spending within their means, they're less likely to be forced to return to crime after they're released.

I would expect there are large percentages of the prison population that might be familiar with these things, also I mean the expectation a job in prison might be getting you ready for is a low paid job in which you are exploited, which once having been in prison in the U.S is probably what you can expect - but I don't know if having that expectation will actually reduce recidivism.
Just thought with the analogy with music is there a market for Fake/Real Books for developers.
> Why would you claim that? As long as any CA with its root certificate in your trust store can vouch for any identity, I would argue that TOFU (where you verify the remote resource's key is in control of the identity you intend to connect with) is less prone to having your connection MITM'd, since the attacker would have to either break the underlying cryptography, or exfiltrate the remote's private key.

There are about 170 root CAs, and not all of them are trusted for every domain. There's also things like certificate transparency that make the kind of attack you're talking about much harder. TOFU protects you against a one-off MITM but not against an ongoing attack (and the fact that host keys routinely change for non-attack reasons means many users don't treat a host key mismatch as especially serious).
"When we update this prior in light of the Fermi observation, we find a substantial probability that we are alone in our galaxy, and perhaps even in our observable universe (53%–99.6% and 39%–85% respectively). ’Where are they?’ — probably extremely far away, and quite possibly beyond the cosmological horizon and forever unreachable."

Opinions like these (I stop one step short of calling them findings, as this is speculation either way) resonate with me. I'm, too, more convinced by the Rare Earth hypothesis, and I find it quite plausible that we're indeed the sole sentient lifeform in the Universe - at least throughout the time of our existence.

This belief never gained me much popularity though. And this is what I'm fascinated about - how badly a lot of people take to this view. Even seemingly rational individuals seem to have some deeply ingrained, emotional need to defend the belief in ETI.

My personal theory is that this emotional mechanism is actually of religious nature; just in disguise. It's very telling that the most popular narratives involving ETI are usually quasi-religious.

The aliens would typically "teach us how to live in peace" (if we're willing to sit down and listen, of course), or turn away from us in disgust (for our sins), or scold us for our poor moral judgment and deeds; generally trap us in shame. Or they'd be quite diabolical and bring all sorts of plagues upon us, giving us a taste of our own medicine for we're wicked.

But the eschatological component is rarely absent either way.

Even this sceptical paper uses biased language through and through, consistently referring to the belief in the prevalence of ETI as "optimistic", and calling the opposite belief "pessimistic". But why?

because the console makers make little (or more often lose) profit from each system, so the draw is to make up or it by selling software. first party software or 3rd party software they get 30% of sales from.

Tell that to the poor PSP. The reality is that 1% use it to run emulators or make homebrew and 99% use it to run free games. To the ordinary consumers, these aren't general purpose computers to tinker around with, they are toys to entertain themselves with. They have computers and phones for the former.
> It doesn't work. It's unenforceable without the government to enforce it, and even then people will skirt it.

Okay, but when I said "dropping" I wasn't talking about a rule, I was using that to demonstrate the problem.

> A rule limiting how many a person can buy doesn't actually affect demand, it just affects that market's ability to respond to demand.

There's a nearly fixed supply, because no amount of demand can affect the shortages.

There's a nearly fixed demand, because enough of the cards are going to be sold at MSRP to keep stoking it.

In a situation like that, someone arbitraging the prices is not helping supply and demand meet, they're just making a profit.

You want some amount of secondary market so that the people that very badly need a card can pay extra to get one now. But a tiny percent of cards going onto ebay is enough to fulfill that role. If half the cards end up massively marked up on ebay, it doesn't help allocate them more efficiently in any significant way, it just takes more money from people.
>Same with cars, extra premium equipment has basically no value for people that are buying used cars.

It mostly doesn't impact price as is, but the top equipped car will get much more traffic from potential buyers and therefore can get away with setting the price a bit higher than the current market.
