How to Land a Marketing Job – Part 6
Could you add the last couple years' brackets and stats as an algorithm tester?

Would be cool to run your algorithm against previous years to see how it would have done so you can refine it before submitting.

I'm imagining coloring the final bracket green/red for correctly/incorrectly predicted games in the simulation.
They may "run" on mono, but their performance there is terrible.
Yeah, I won the first time I played it, it's actually quite easy and expected to be so. I feel you could go very very far with it given the 27 slots.

Cicatricial Alopecia Symptoms and Treatments
It might be better to say that the current definition of ADHD is grossly inadequate. The problems start from issues as basic as treating ADHD as one monolithic "thing," when in fact it is a symptom that can arise from many different diseases, some of which respond better to different medications than others, and some of which do not respond to medication at all. By treating them all as a single disease, we do almost all of their sufferers a grave disservice.
It's so incredibly "windows" in design. In a typical OS X app the toolbar at the top would be greatly simplified and a lot of lesser used functionality would be relegated to contextual inspectors.
Pybrain.

Apparently it's sort of unmaintained in general, but I was trying to use it for something that I wasn't happy with scikit-learn for, and at the time, I wasn't aware of how long it had been since it had been updated in general.

So in hindsight, it wasn't the best example, but I had already had to deal with tracking down an random person's networkx branch as well, so that was enough to make me finally just fix the few things needed to work in 2.7.
I think that you know what you want for your future.

Maybe, try to understand what you really love doing, where do you see yourself in five years from now and most important, what makes you happy. You have to enjoy your job. That's what I would think if i was in your situation.

Anyway, good luck with your future! :)
Some folks are missing the point.

Both the definition of ADHD and the treatment plan for it (in North America) are broken. In France, just 0.5% of children suffer from ADHD (opposed to ~5% in North America), and with those children they find the root cause of the issue and deal with that. They tend to shy away from medication. This is, more often than not, the proper treatment option for behavioural issues.

People need to realize the DSM, in its current state, is a massive cash cow for Big Pharma. When it comes to ADHD specifically, they needed a bigger market, welcome Adult ADHD.

Finally, I realize a lot of people suffer from attention issues. I don't disagree that these things need to be dealt with, but a catch-all diagnosis isn't really the way to do that. I'm much more interested in finding the actual problem, and fixing that.
Mastering THE ENERGY OF GRAVITY! is trivial. Pick something up right now. Now, lift it over your head. You've given it GRAVITATIONAL ENERGY! Now, drop it. It has now expressed its GRAVITATIONAL ENERGY!

Do not confuse science fiction with science fact. Exactly, exactly how gravity works is a mystery, yes, but interacting with the gravitational field is very, very settled science. If you want to harness the mighty power of gravity, build more tidal harnesses.
Authy use their own system, but the app also supports TOTP.
> Maybe it's too much to ask that we say "different things work for different groups of people"?

Weak opinions make for weak conversation, especially between strangers. All the participants need the ability to appreciate nuanced positions in order to gain value from weak opinions.

This isn't unrelated, either; it's one of the reasons that cliques form in the first place. The extreme position is inevitably simpler than moderate ones, and thus acts as a more solid common ground for group formation. And it's also why we have institutional structures: things like accredited universities and portfolios and interview loops: they help filter for people who can appreciate the relevant nuance so that milder and deeper conversations are easier to come by.
A Smart Kegerator: Better Beer Management Through Technology
I still think Google Maps search is heads and shoulders above Apple Maps'. Also, the transit directions exist and work well. Both Google Maps and Apple Maps have massively betrayed me with directions.
It is almost certainly the latter. Their fees are 15%, so the revenue run-rate would actually be closer to $150k.

That being said, my guess is the service partially operates as an eBay proxy, thus they are buying some of the stuff. If that is the case, then the revenue run-rate could be close to the processing amount, as they would be the merchant of record for anything sold on eBay.
>python classes are open so you can just add a method to a concrete class to get single-dispatch if that's all you need.

Except then your method shares a namespace with all the other methods defined on the class, which is ugly, and can cause clashes.
I added an edit here, pointing out that GitHub wasn't actually employing holacracy. That was my (pre-breakfast) sloppiness. My main point still stands, though.

Can anyone name a finding of software engineering research that isn't folklore? I've looked many times. The field is strikingly weak. It is typified by tiny sample sizes, subjective analysis, and zero replication.

[Edit: deleted mistaken impression here.]
RAII and smart pointers pretty much make C, and the programming style typical of C programs, obsolete.

C will always be here for historical reasons and because of all the code written in it that would be difficult to convert. But new development should be in C++. Yes, Linus, if you were starting Linux today I'd take you to task for not using C++. :)

Not sure of the details, but according to https://blog.cloudflare.com/choosing-a-two-factor-authentica... they are not (always) interchangeable.
Open spec doesn't help unless all the creation tools adhere strictly to the specification. Historically, they haven't, and support for their various "quirks" has been uneven at best.
There was a big variance in the regular season performances of the #1 seeds this year, which is what the computers are picking up on. If anything, I think humans have the opposite effect of what you suspect, as they do things like overrating Wichita St for emotional reasons (undefeated record) while the most famous computer ranking http://www.usatoday.com/sports/ncaab/sagarin/ puts Wichita St as only the 13th best team.

Also, historically #1 seeds were stronger than they are now because top players didn't go to the NBA so quickly.

It's a completely in-browser realtime code collaboration/execution sandbox. Candidate (or you) types code in the left, and hits a button to run it. Can be quite a bit faster to setup than Skype screensharing and allows the interviewer to edit as well.
5 years is not a long time for information to be retrievable.

By comparison, my current version of office easily allows saving (not just opening, but saving) in versions compatible with office '97. That's ~17 years of saving backward compatibility.
Hey yeldarb, Nimit here from Fullstack. Good idea! We did have the 2013 data up last week before the 2014 bracket came out yesterday but will work on adding more years and the comparison to how the previous brackets turned out!
Experts like this jackass and Andrew Wakefield should be held accountable for criminal misconduct when the publish crap like this.

Sensationalistic 'findings' that lack a concise scientific method that have an ulterior motive are harmful to those people that expect information from experts to be presented without bias.
The author might consider using Microsoft products because they are obsessive about providing backwards compatibility. That's one of the positive things about Microsoft products. The downside is that they have to deal with a lot of old baggage as a result.

Apple, on the other hand is almost the opposite. They're obsessive about upgrading everyone and leaving the past behind. That's great because they're free to make bold and innovative changes. The downside of course is that you and your files sometimes get left behind.

Both are valid strategies in my opinion and appeal to different customers. If you feel like backwards compatibility is a really important feature then whether you want to admit it or not, you probably would be happy as a Microsoft customer.
You bring a point I hadn't thought of yet: aside from illegal downloading, you can't buy an ebook anonymously.
Ocaml was always the more pragmatic language and for a long time the implementation was significantly faster than anything SML offered. MLton came along very late in the game and offers excellent performance, but doesn't support separate compilation.

s/proprietary//

While I like non-proprietary software, there is nothing inherit that makes much of a difference for the lay person. As the complexity of the software goes up, so does the level of what is considered a 'lay person'. For any sufficiently complex software and non-pervasive problem - you're SOL in both cases. Standards help more than proprietary/non-proprietary. Lower complexity also helps more.

CoFoundersLab Receives $75,000 from State of Maryland
This leaves a bad taste in my mouth, because it is blatant social engineering: there are very, very few search terms for which a site's SSL capabilities have any relevance, and so it is outright dishonest for SSL to affect their ranking.

On the other hand, it is not hard to argue that SSL desperately needs to be more widely adopted, and current attempts at changing Web developer/host behavior have not been effective in driving that adoption. Perhaps search engine ranking -the lifeblood of many Web-based businesses- will force them when gentler methods will not, by providing what amounts to a threat to their business models.

But is the situation really dire enough to be worth corrupting the entire concept of Web searches?
That's a really valid concern, although we were surprised by how many of our users specifically requested this feature set.
Actually, this whole this was included under pressure from law enforcement agencies (LEAs). Registrars, registries, and ICANN themselves would much prefer we stuck with the old WDRP regime where all that happens is that the registrars periodically ask that registrants verify that the information provided is correct. This new LEA-mandated nonsense is nothing but a drain on registrars (which is a business with thin margins as it is).

Also, redemption isn't a scam, it's a fine to discourage people from making ridiculously late payment! You're given a 45 day window after a domain expires to pay for the renewal before the domain ends up in redemption, and registrars are required to send at least three separate reminder emails at specific intervals to tell you the domain is expiring or has expired. If you can't pay your bills within 45 days, ICANN, the registries, and the registrars aren't the problem: you're own incompetence is the problem.

This is a super neat idea. Thanks so much for making it!

Some small comments:

I found the tutorial video painfully slow, but maybe you're targeting beginning programmers. All I was looking for was-- what's the language, what's the api.

The determining function could easily be a pure function. I.e., it could designate the winner by returning true, or false, or an enum/constant.

Actually, I think I would prefer this API:

function (team)
{
return team.off_reb * team.win_pct;
}

And then play the teams by calculating the scores for each team and comparing them. But then of course, you can't have different scores depending on the opponent. I wouldn't use that information, but perhaps others would.
MS on the right license plan really doesn't care and will happily give you any version you want. Off the right license plan I've heard multiple reports of MS actually giving out downloads where needed. Adobe might not overly care, but MS seems to be willing to make things right for retail software (OEM software is another issue).

Though a lot of the reasons for the complaints is that you don't need generally need a copy of Office 2003.
In fact, by law, if you pay for the report, it has to come back as favorable to you as possible. Its something to do with 'agency' and fiduciary responsibility.

That reporter is such a scumbag. What repercussions did she face?
> In a nutshell, he suggests that we can avoid power imbalances by ensuring that natural and legitimate imbalances within different 'spheres' do not spill over into other ones. In the context of tech companies, we might have, say, a 'discipline' sphere where managers are in charge, a 'technical' sphere where engineers are in charge, a 'design' sphere with designers in charge, and so on. Being the top engineer doesn't give you the right to overrule a designer on a design question, and being a top manager doesn't give you the right to overrule an engineer on a technical question. If we're dealing with a personal conflict, this falls under the jurisdiction of management, and they should have full authority to resolve it. If we're dealing with a technical debate, that should be resolved by engineers

I don't disagree with the theory, but in practice power would come down to who gets to decide which sphere applies.
Taking a line out of DHH's playbook, perhaps it would be better to discuss a concrete code sample. E.g https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7335211
Here is how I see it. If your going on a drive and you have three choices, one of them is the most direct route its on the freeway and you will make it there is the shortest amount of time, the second is a winding country road it takes twice as long, but you get to enjoy the country road maybe listen to the radio maybe roll your windows down and enjoy the fresh spring air, and you have a separate freeway that is underground and always has a traffic jam. Doing nothing as your described is to me the third option, your just wasting time for no reason whatsoever and your telling yourself this is nice because I am not stressing out about whatever, but your still wasting you time. Relaxation doesn't have to be fruitless, for instance I relax by gardening. It is both calming and productive. After watching that movie or playing that game _most_ of the time all you have is three less hours to do something productive. You have just sat in that underground freeway when you could have been enjoying a spring drive or getting to your destination faster.
Ok, a really naive question here - but how do you avoid cheating?

I can easily see if this takes hold that there are authentication issues - how do you know that the person who is taking the test is actually the person who applied or will show up (even if it's remote) to your job?
This is not unique to Australia. It could happen here in the U.S. Here's a story I wrote in 2010:

FBI wants records kept of Web sites visited / "The FBI is pressing Internet service providers to record which Web sites customers visit and retain those logs for two years..." http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-10448060-38.html

Other proposals that have circulated around DC officialdom have included mandatory data retention requirements aimed at social networks, sites that accept photo uploads, domain name registries:
http://news.cnet.com/Politicos-mull-data-retention-by-Web-ho...
http://news.cnet.com/Congress-targets-social-networking-site...

Of course these proposals are being advanced by politicians and bureaucrats who have only the vaguest glimmerings of an idea of how the Internet works (and even less of an appreciation for the limits the Constitution places on the federal government).

I understand and I agree, I tried to spell it out as simply as possible and put the demos at the forefront for the project, but it's hard explaining a new approach to solve and old problem in a simple way without getting verbose.

I think I need a prettier demo with "tips" and "hints" about what exactly is different... 90% of people will click through the demo, see nothing they haven't seen before and move on, which is a shame.
This bugs me a lot. If the spec is known how it is possible for some random reader to not being able to display it. Is pdf now somewhat html in late 90's where it was browser specified rather than specification?

The author appears to have a philosophical issue with the DSM itself, more than a useful argument. One could make the same complaint about many of the conditions defined in the DSM. The DSM faces an insurmountable challenge in attempting to taxonomize mental issues. In "reality" next to none of the syndromes and disorders there "exist", except in terms of collections of symptoms and treatments, and assumptions about what's "normal".

Honestly nothing he says goes against anything anyone who's done even a cursory study of ADHD will already know. But he leaves out a lot that folks without much familiarity with ADHD won't already know, such as that many people with ADHD take medicines other than stimulants: anti-depressants, blood pressure medicines. A lot of drugs have been found to address the underlying problems, and each class works differently in different people.

The fact is that, like every other aspect of brain chemistry and function, we understand very very little about ADHD. That doesn't mean that it doesn't exist or that people with the disorder should stop taking medicine that works for them. It means we need to study it more to find out how to better describe and explain all the intricate connections between behavior, diet, genetics, environment, sleep, screens, family, school, work, weather, vitamins, and drugs interplay to create what we now call ADHD.

Well, they're not a charity (in the strict non-profit sense) and don't claim to be one. But, you know, when you claim to exist for social good, then you should probably expect to be held to a higher standard.

But, FWIW, I don't think GiveForward is out to overtly scam people. I just personally find their model distasteful.

If you're talking about the GoDaddy service, they're not. If you're talking about WHOIS privacy services in general, then possibly.

If you use a registrar's WHOIS privacy service, then the registrar still has the (supposedly) correct details and are simply masking them in WHOIS. There's no issue there. However, if you're not using the registrar's own WHOIS privacy service, then yeah, you're potentially opening yourself up to a world of pain, as (a) the domain is no longer actually registered to you in a manner verifiable to the registrar and (b) you might not be able to receive important notification emails that the registrar is required to send you (such as expiry notices).
repercussions? None that I know of. But this letter looks to be setting the stage for some legal action against Newsweek.

She re-launched Newsweek in print, though, so presumably she got lots of hoped-for money.
