I would be delighted if all job interviews were done like that. I find all social parts cumbersome and unnecessary waste of time.
They don't have as high a percentage of winning the final round - 15/24 vs 14/26
I'd really love to see that! So much of my undergraduate coursework felt like a complete waste of time since it was essentially throw away work.

As a plus, a teacher/TA is marking the work anyways, so you might have several people going at a problem from different angles and having the quality of the work evaluated by someone who (presumably) knows their stuff.

I bet this could work well for group works/final projects.

Why is this at the top of hacker news >(
I'm only making a 'big' deal about this because I have given this serious thought.

This is the third part in a series of articles where I was trying to understand why my intuition was telling me that there was something not quite right about angular.

I finally managed to track it down to this specific little thing, and how the unintended consequences of a feature like this could have far ranging consequences to it as a viable platform.

My reasoning was not about how crazy this is now (which it is), but how this could end up 5-10 years from now if it doesn't get removed now.

America has a prison industrial complex and corrupt justice system problem. There wouldn't be black markets for drugs if we stopped jailing people for victimless crimes to begin with. No victimless crime should result in criminal charges. Going to jail should never be a possibility when there's no victim.
Isn't time technically 4D?

So you would have to match up this puzzle with one being worked on by someone yesterday.

I couldn't work out how to implement the extra 2 movement dimensions on a phone. Does JS support detecting 2 finger swipes (or something similar) in a sane way?
"The best I can do, therefore, is this: my advice is to open your eyes to the pervasive influence of culture on all the things you deplore; to acquire and use whatever tools, from semiotics or literary criticism or whatever, seem to be handy in understanding the water of myth around you.

And when you get there: write about it (or sing, or make movies). This, really, is the key thing. Not only do we need to talk more, not less, about how we develop software, we also need to talk about the things we say: we need critique."

if only the discussion on hacker news would actually take this advice instead of arguing arcane bullshit. Hoping a few will take this tack. Please surprise me.

Undoubtfully the number is really large, but I'm not sure what exactly you mean by cube Planck lengths. A comparison to atoms would be more clear.

Still, it wouldn't have to. Since most arrays would have pieces with lower numbers( 2,4,8 ) you could very efficiently compress the data.

At some point you would run out of memory but it would be playable. Just like those Game of Life implementations with seemingly infinite grid.
Good primer on NDAs, I also prefer not to sign NDAs without knowing more about the project first, in case there could be a conflict of interest.
I was always going to need to put this into an issue, once I identified why it bothered me.

I think angular is really special because I can see it getting simpler. I almost never see that in software.

They have shown that they are willing to change, and I think that they have the right people in charge to do it.

I think you are going to see some serious changes for 2.0 though. Now they are on semver, stuff is going to have to shift pretty majorly between major releases. You can see some of that in angulardart already.

I look forward to it.
Sorry for the downvote, I mis-clicked. Wish you could change a vote afterward.
Sure, right after they implement the bot that deletes any newspost to which it obviously applies.
Just look at how elegant it is!
It's so hard to get intuitions about higher dimensions and this seems to do an incredible job. The game is simple enough and the cardinality of the dimensions low enough (2x2x2x2) that I can actually play it smoothly (having played the original and with a bit of practice at the 4D version).

Does that mean I've formed 4D intuition? I think this just happens to be in a class of 4D mechanics that's isomorphic to 2D variants, so the answer would be no. If so, how many such 2D variants are there?

For those interested, 4d rubick's cube:

It's not tough at all, just stop trying to shoehorn the quantum into things like waves and particles, they aren't both; they're neither. Calling them waves and particles is just trying to cram macro world concepts into places they don't belong because it's easier to understand that way. Quantum behavior isn't like anything we know and thus can't be related to what we know without using bad metaphors.

Watch Feynman explain the behavior of magnets and pretty much makes the same point when someone asks if fields are like rubber bands.

The wave particle duality is just a bad metaphor for quantum behavior. Quantum behavior is its own thing.
No, not pedantic. It's the standard and widely-accepted definition of the term "run rate."
Hindsight is 20/20. By this I mean: the name was linked when the white paper was written. Do you think Satoshi anticipated that everyone would ignore the white paper and that he would have to spend two years building it by himself?

My point is: he didn't choose his alias aided by the benefit of knowing what bitcoin would become. So it's suspect to deduce that his actions had been perfectly targeted to the facts of the present.
We've had issues previously with Rackspace and SSL certs expiring (webmail api certs, not mailgun previously). My app has been "broken" twice in the past due to expired certs, to the point that we now monitor all SSL certs used on third party api's that we rely on. (As well as monitoring our own certs of course).

We've got our eye on Rackspace's webmail reseller api's SSL cert, which now has less than 14 days till it expires: https://admin.webmail.us/excedentsoap/excedentsoap.wsdl

1. Can everyone come to an agreement about what counts as a victim?

2. Maybe no victimless crime should result in jail time, but there are a lot of penalties for "victimless" crimes (tax evasion, illegal production of controlled substances) that justly result in fines.

EDIT: OK. I typed too quickly with the child support bit. In retrospect, that was a bad example. I also added scare quotes to emphasize that justice can be served in criminal court even if nobody goes to jail.
The real problem here is that legal protections for certain classes by themselves create a disincentive for hiring those people. Discrimination/racism protections especially suffer from this.

I've had some experience with this as well. In Europe (Brussels) it's plain to see that most companies don't hire certain "bad" minorities, then fix their legally mandated "racism stats" (ie. a quota) by demanding the cleaning company provide them with contractor cleaners of the correct ethnicity.

Why ? Because if they sue, the damage is 24x their monthly pay, which is next to nothing.

This is a horribly bad factor for people like Jewish programmers, black sysadmins, and the like. They're doubly fucked : there's a very good legal reason for companies not to hire them, and they have a good legal incentive to be incompetent assholes, so they get fired and get legal damages from their legal anti-discrimination rights. In addition, the government's education incentives cause and strengthen the racist prejudices. Black sysadmins/programmers are worse than white sysadmins ... well of course ! If the law mandates a passing grade for black sysadmins in university is 40% where whites have to score 60%, this would be exactly the expected result wouldn't it ?

In the end there is no substitute to waiting for immigrants to naturally work their way up the food chain like has mostly happened in America. Problem is simple : this takes multiple generations.

This is one of the many reasons it's really bad to protect certain classes of people, doubly so when we're talking ethnicities or religious groups (as opposed to say, stem graduates, legal professionals, ...). Plus it generally seems to me to fly in the face of the idea of non-discrimination. You cannot achieve a colorblind society with racist law, in fact you're achieving the opposite.

Of course the problem is that discrimination laws are not trying to achieve a colorblind society. Rather they're trying to throw a religious/ethnic group a bone to prevent them from rioting, and making their situation worse in the process.

Let's face it, in Western Europe if you're muslim/jewish/black/... (and not self-employed) you want to be an incompetent asshole, because that's what the law rewards. You can effectively get 2 or 3 wages paid out if you do that. Nothing to do with ethnicity or religion, has a LOT to do with people attempting to take shortcuts in fixing observed injustices.

There are some that are creating their own companies and avoiding the problem this way. But this is much, much harder than making it as an employee. I have a lot of respect for the few that do this, though.

Or try Turtl (https://turtl.it). We're early stage, but everything is private by default (client-side encrypted) before syncing to "the cloud." Your data is available everywhere but completely private. This is great for small businesses who don't want to have to worry about whether what they're uploading is sensitive or not.

TFA lets the general off too easily. Sure, he's not the one who originally decided to waste our lives and resources on prohibition, but he does exhibit the typical officer-class moar is bettar antithinking. If you replace the 10' fence with a 20' fence, they'll just bring a longer ladder. If you deploy more helicopters, they'll change tactics so that helicopters aren't so effective. In the meantime, the taxpayer has purchased a bunch of unnecessary helicopters. I'm sure that's good for someone.
Yes, that's my opinion as well, but there is a lot of variation in the same age group. That number was pulled out of my ass btw, I only observed the differences while being there as a volunteer for various activities and from my wife's stories. And because of this variation, I think people are too eager to diagnose children with ADHD. And this is also a pity, since there may in fact be children with real problems that can't be separated well from children that are simply being children.
Probably because self-styled 10x developers in real life are often developers who are good at creating technicall debt really quickly.
There's plenty of ways for people to take advantage of their employers and the law does effectively nothing for the aggrieved.

One case I directly encountered was a young, white male who was responsible for procurement for a small company I was working for. It turned out he was ordering all kinds of stuff for himself (the one thing I remember is he bought a game console with it). He was fired and the police were called. Their response was basically, since he had permission to order stuff, they weren't going to pursue it.

The law failed here, too! But let me tell you what didn't happen: nobody decided to use that as a reason to not hire young, white males. What did happen, correctly, was some additional controls were put in to prevent abuse.
The thing I take issue with here is not that he's saying there are differences between genders. I believe evidence backs up the idea that there are (on average) differences between how men and women's brains work (on average). The problem is "men are better at deep focus and that's the only thing that matters when it comes to programming, therefore men make better programmers".
I'm also pretty excited to see the next release.

I have read about potentially including lazy loading in the base which personally would be really huge. Not having to integrate Require would be a pretty interesting to me if it happens

Modern civilization has certainly invented ADHD. It used to be that if you had ADHD, you probably weren't a banker, lawyer or politician. You certainly would not work in a cubicle and rot away all day. You also lived 15 years longer than your sedentary counterpart. You would do a more physical job. Physical work often creates the necessary stimulation that so many of these ADHD cases need.

The argument that it just isn't fair that someone's mind is more suited for a desk job than someone else, so we should put them on equal footing by administering drugs the rest of their lives is a flawed and slippery slope mentality. Do we say the same the same thing for aspiring athletes who weren't born with the muscle mass to play pro football? "Lets make things fair and pump this kid full of roids so he can be an all pro linebacker"...

Severe ADHD sufferers I agree should be given medication, but the majority That I personally know (some of whom I worked with before and after meds) should just have changed careers. They still have problems while on the meds and also have to deal side effects from the mind altering drug they are using. Those I know who have either pursued alternate careers, or switched are much happier overall.

Imagine that, doing what traditionally, naturally was done leads to greater happiness... Wow
Authy also supports (it's own?) TFA system that is incompatible with the google app.
This is hardly a draconian law. It's an unwanted, unpleasant law, sure, but 'draconian'? You make it sound like a nightly 8pm curfew.
I wish I could give this comment a million upvotes.

From my perspective as someone who has developed on the MS stack for 15+ years, frameworks like angular and ember strike me as (retroactively) following right in the footsteps of Silverlight and ASP.NET WebForms. To be clear, I don't think that's a good thing.
Not directly anytime soon - but we integrate with google hangouts, which you can use as an easy chat-only option. This will, however, reveal their name, which I figure you probably already know anyway.

Otherwise chatting through the code box works pretty well currently.

The CAFC is less an "expert" patent court than a notoriously corrupt patent court.

Well their SSL cert on their website was invalid (just expired) and there was some kinda mention of them on some government site somewhere that wasn't quite clear enough IMO.

they got bored of trying to prove their identity and just said like "whatever, verify your identity or you'll lose your domain". i ended up phoning them with the number on the site with the invalid SSL certificate, getting the person i'd been emailing with, and she said i could black out the driver's license number on the photo. i ended up sending it that way. i think they were just stupid, not scammers. that was years ago and nothing bad has happened yet to my knowledge.
Are you sure it was them? Having a verified personal identity is not a requirement to have a .us domain. All you need to prove is that you have "a bona fide presence in the United States of America or any of its possessions or territories [Nexus Category 3]."

(It goes into detail claiming that you need to "state" your country of citizenship, but not that you need to "prove" your country of citizenship. An identity document is massively overreaching, IMHO. I never had to prove anything to get jrock.us, and if I have to, I will move the domain.)

There is a victim when child support is not provided: the child(ren).
For a white man, this is reasonable.

For someone who is not a white man, this is an advantage because the interviewee is being tested on things that they control, rather than things they don't. (Gender, skin color, national origin, disability...)

Isn't time technically 4D?

Anything can technically be the fourth dimension. The thing about dimensions is that they are open to be defined as needed. You can have four spatial dimensions, you can have ten spatial dimensions. You can have ten spatial dimensions and time being an 11th dimension. Its all up to whoever is defining the model being, well, modeled.
I said should never result in jail or criminal charges; civil courts should handle such issues. However, not paying support has a clear victim, the mother and child that have to do without what they legally have a right to. Ditto for tax evasion, you're robbing your fellow citizens.
Tax evasion and failure to provide child support are perfect examples of crimes with real victims. The perpetrator is victimizing society, and their own child in these cases.

Do you have some better examples you would like to use?

I don't think he's commenting on statistical analysis, but rather saying that a scientist should follow the clues where ever it may take them, instead of looking for the clues that will get them where they want to be. And of course they fuck up, too.
There were only like 5-6 seasons when it was popular to go straight to the NBA from high school. In the last millennium, it was very uncommon. Instead, it was typical for top players to stay for 3-4 years. Now, they usually stay for just 1. Compare:

Tax evasion hurts society as a whole by reducing available resources for the programs that aid our country, and failure to provide child support harm the children and mothers that the child support was intended for in much the same way. Neither of these are victimless crimes. Victimless crimes are typically things that only harm the person/people involved in the crime, i.e. prostitution, recreational drug use, or gambling.

You mean "was", "had", and "were", since everybody connected with the sarin attacks is now arrested or dead. The rump "Aleph" group is a shadow of its former self, has renounced their predecessor's tactics, and is very heavily monitored.

Also, IIRC Aum never used anthrax (although they did stockpile it), only sarin and VX, which are chemical agents, not biological.
