1. Because I love food and take-out often is not nutritionally complete without paying an obscene amount of money. Money isn't a direct factor for why I cook at home, its a definite bonus of everything since I can get a delicious and balanced meal for <$10 that would be $25+ eating out. Additionally, eating out often gets repetitive, what easy breakfast options are there out there? After you've had your fill of muffins and breakfast sandwiches you don't see many options

2. I plan what types of meals I want to eat the following week while at the grocery store. This week I wanted Pulled Pork, Quiche, and Chili so I worked around that. I'm hankering Butter Chicken and a solid steak so that'll likely happen next week. Side dishes like the vegetables are often just whatever I want and try to keep things original; there's much less planning in this aspect.

3. My diet staples will always be Chicken, Eggs, Greek Yogurt, Stir Fry, and Bananas. The rest sort of comes and goes as I get cravings or need variety.

4. No brand-name diets. I just track calories and adjust for what I'm shooting for at any moment. Currently cutting weight at ~1lb/week (TDEE-500cal)

5. My only time-saver tip is really to have your counters clean before you start and clean as you go so there isn't a giant pile of dishes at the end.
one piece which i tried to mention here is that salar.ly and LCA don't incorporate equity, incentive bonuses, and other pieces of compensation; this is just the base salary submitted in the application. for example ex-Google friend immediately felt like Google was too low, since a significant % of their comp is tied to incentive bonuses; and for startups, you'd have to consider the dollar value of equity
C/C++ didn't truly click for me until I had learned assembler. (Helped my understanding of every other language too.)
I like including a few GOTOs just to piss off the Dijkstra acolytes, one of whom is quite vocal in the thread.
Computer science is distinct in that it's common to gain experience without working.
If you need an interesting project to motivate you, you could try to build something with Arduino. It requires purchasing some hardware, of course, but it's cheap enough to play around with.
Curious, what is your cost per meal, approx? I live next to Whole Foods and buying ingredients daily usually makes the meal ~$7-$10, which is about the same as buying a pretty healthy prepared meal.

I do think buying/cooking in bulk will save money but that's harder to plan for and I don't have many recipes to cook in bulk.
You need to learn some neuroscience buddy. One neuron is not one bit. A neuron works in much complex way than a single bit in a computer. A neuron has hundreds to thousands axons and dendrites and connect with other neurons in a dense network. I am surprised by your knowledge of neuroscience yet attacking me. very strange.

EDIT: As dragonwriter says below, lower levels of neural networks are responsible for general facial recognition but that triggers more specific neurons once the recognition is done from generic face -> specific person. Even in artificial neural networks single bit is sufficient at the end of the classification.
It's not actually related to Project Zero. There are quite a few people here at Google, both on Project Zero and on other projects and teams, that routinely find vulnerabilities. Here's a list of some of the vulnerabilities: http://www.google.com/about/appsecurity/research/

We use Flask at Thinkful in our Python course for precisely this. Ran into some disappointment from folks who'd prefer to dive directly into Django, but from an instructional perspective we'd much rather introduce something comprehensible than ask students to memorize magic words or incantations.

agreed -- there's no uniformity in how companies fill out these apps; for example, as I briefly mentioned in the post but didn't look far into, even the company name "Google" was typed in 3 or 4 ways
I choose drive brands almost exclusively based on warranty duration. After Seagate bought Maxtor, they started lowering warranties on all of their drives. The results, as you can see, were predictable.
In addition, there are numerous games that shipped with random plain text (including uncompiled source code) in their binary images:

1. Why do you cook?

I like to cook because you always ship.

You can't sit and obsess about it forever. That's liberating. Once you embrace that, it allows you to experiment.
I have no affiliation with the author of this thing -- I just found it today and started playing with it. It seems to work well after you mess with the sensitivity a bit.
I agree with @hackerboos, definitely write a c-extension. It will not only enhance your knowledge of python but you will also learn C/C++ during the development. I did something similar wrote a ruby c-extension https://github.com/chaitanyav/fibonacci for fun. Also, checkout the CS107 videos on youtube which are C based (look for cs107 stanford).

you can also try writing the core utils using your newly learned C/C++ skills.(https://github.com/chaitanyav/cprograms)
1) I cook because it's valuable to me to be able to "provide" my own food, and know what I ingest. Additionally I cook because I believe it's generally more healthy, and with less "short cuts" than take-out or frozen food.

2) I have 5-6 different "recipes" or meals that I know how to cook and usually I cook these one or more times during the week. But generally I decide on my way back from work, with not much planning.

3) I cook lots of curries. Indian curries with tomatoes, chickpeas, onions, coconut milk, rice, garlic, chilis. Thai curries with brocolli, coconut milk, garlic, etc.

4) I am a vegetarian.

5) My absolutely best life hack for cooking, is doing together with someone. Cooking with a friend, or even for a friend, is so much more satisfying and rewarding than doing it alone. If you struggle to cook meals for yourself; team up with a coworker, friend, girlfriend or whatever!

Yes, but healthcare is a few 100 bucks a month, which we pay too, only for us it's mandatory by government.

Vacation sounds like a real problem, but it seems like you could circumvent that by going freelance and just taking off x days a year between projects.
I am a Florida attorney. In two different instances I have been admitted Pro Hac Vice in the State of New Jersey, and in one of those instances it was a civil case brought by the NJAG office against a corporate client who was alleged to be providing chimney cleaning services without being licensed. In short I have received/reviewed/responded to subpoenas (and other discovery requests) from the very same office.

"Black people being the only really outlying data point suggest they are for a big part responsible for their sad image."

Interesting. For my current project, I don't want to include large frameworks so it looks like this library [1] should do the trick.

I liked to cook with my girlfriend as a fun and easy date activity, and we've continued to do it now that we're married. Also, cooking our own food is cheaper than going out every night, and tastes better than getting takeout.

We try to plan meals for the week and then do a big grocery run on the weekend, and I'll stop by the store after work if we run low on something.

We have a few meals that we run through on a rotation; making pulled pork in a slow cooker is pretty easy. There's a mustard marinated chicken dish that we both like. There are a few pasta dishes I can whip up from memory; we also make simple stuff like fried rice on occasion as well.

Neither of us follow a diet; we're still at the stage of our lives where trying to make generally balanced meals (protein, vegetables, fruit) is enough to keep us pretty healthy.

The only real life hack I have is that it's worth the time to memorize a couple recipes that taste good and are easy to make. Don't worry too much about cooking time; one of the pasta dishes I like to make has to simmer for 3 hours or so, but it's really easy to let that sit on the stove and just check on it a couple times an hour to make sure it isn't burning. Cooking isn't an active process where you have to be paying attention to it and devoting cycles to it every second of the process.
My understanding that seniority had more to do with whether people report to you/you have more experience with the relevant tech stack than the not-Senior Engineers, in terms of being able to produce results. Why exactly does number of years have to be the only metric to measure seniority?

If say, my former classmate has been at a company for 3 years right out of college, and I was at a different employer(s) working on a different stack for the same 3 years. And then I join his company, I think it would make sense for him to be a senior engineer while I'm not, even though we have the same "experience as engineer" as far as time goes.

Although really, titles don't mean anything in the tech sector anyway, so not like that makes a difference. It's the company structure that matters a lot more.
After a few hundred drives, our anecdata is that failure over time on SSDs is generally related to drive endurance. Make sure you use a SMART utility which can read (and translate to English) the current net usage of the drive. Throw them away when you get to 100% usage.

I recently examined a set of Crucial m4s which were at 130% of usage. There was no lost data, but write bandwidth was hilariously bad (around 10-20MB/s).
The main difference between racism against gypsies and antisemitism is, that most antisemitic people are to afraid to stand to their prejudice because the public climate is against them whereas racism against gypsies is completely socially accepted in big parts of Europe, especially in the east and south.
But around a quarter of the population beliefs in anti-semitic stereotypes if asked directly, according to studies in Austria and it's much, much worse in Hungary or Greece for example.

And Gypsies can't be "responsible for their sad image" as a whole because nobody is responsible for their ethnicity. Responsibility for prejudice lies at the racists who can't see people as individuals. One aspect might be that Gypsies in general aren't very visible in large parts of Europe except in stories about criminals.
The other answers sound like they're from people who aren't new to the idea of pointers...

Try simple data structures first. Having linked list nodes that actually uses minimal memory (pointer to next node, a data field) is actually pretty exciting. Implement all the operations (get index i, remove index i, etc) because that's where a lot of the insight will come from. Then you can move onto binary search trees and other more complex stuff.

One of the most useful insights I've read was from "Effective C++", which said (paraphrasing) "C++ is a federation / family of languages which work together". Learn the C subset of it first so you're not overwhelmed with available features, and then you can get back to using templates / STL / the other languages later.
Hey ah guys. Most devs in HK earn < 30k USD a year. China is half that, Taiwan is even worse. When you factor in how freaking expensive everything is in HK, especially real estate, HK devs in general are basically slave labors.
That's neat, it reminds me of MPW and the scheme interpreter I used long ago on a mac, wish I could remember which one now. They had a worksheet where you could go back to a previous line with the keyboard or mouse and hit enter there (or edit it first and hit enter then) to execute. I had a very nice worksheet with lots of templates I would follow.
Except automation in spaceflight was a solved problem long ago. The Buran had more automation than the STS because of US politics in regard to the STS than some major innovation. In fact, the Buran is the poster-boy of lack of innovation. Its just a slightly souped up COPY of the STS long after the STS was in production. This like calling a 2014 Kia that looks like a 2003 Mercedes innovative because it has the option for a bluetooth stereo.

The Air Force's shuttle is actually autonomous not just automated. Its, say, more like a drone than a R/C car. Its many steps ahead of what the US and the USSR were doing in the 80s. From what we know its a very interesting technical achievement.Over 600 days in space for a spacecraft is pretty impressive also.

>OTV-3 had spent 600 days in orbit by 8 August 2014

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_X-37

I don't know why this metric isn't mentioned more often. This this is practically launch and forget, give occasional orders to, and land once in a while sci-fi spacecraft. From an intel point-of-view this is pretty much a spy satellite that can go anywhere in orbit, change its mission at any time, and then land and go back at any time. It may also have anti-satellite weapons. I guess we won't know its full capabilities until its declassified, but from what we know its a very interesting project from a technical achievement point of view.
It is completely arbitrary. At our company the entry level developer is "Senior <language> Developer". It is literally the lowest developer title you can have.
I don't think that C/C++ is different, this is exactly how I learned those as well. Be aware though, that C++ and C are very different languages and you should choose one. If you want to do kernel-level stuff or embedded code, C is probably a better choice than C++, whereas if you want to go into gaming or complex desktop applications (think Photoshop), C++ might be the one to choose.

Pointers may be scary but they are just a concept that you need to grasp, like recursion. You first read about it and kind of get it, then you apply it over and over until suddenly you realize that you have developed a true understanding that allows you to build new abstractions on top.

You will hear people telling you to start with C first because C++ is a superset of C, but I always advice against this. Memory management is "manual" in both, but the idioms you apply are very different between the two. Unless you are looking to truly spend years perfecting both, pick one and go with it.
It's all over the place. A college dropout who starts a start-up as CTO then fails within the year will apply as a senior. But, it's one of those things where I don't judge a book by its cover in either direction. After talking to the person in the right context there's a certain confidence and deep level of understanding that I expect from senior engineers and it never reflects their years of experience.
1. Recreation. I love chopping, stirring, mixing, tasting. I'm doing keto and it's easier to stay on track cooking at home.

2. No. Usually I start with "what sounds good?"

3. Primarily Mexican and Italian dishes and lots of salads.

4. Keto.

5. Learn to use a knife properly.
The Add-Delete ratio as a metric of code quality
Gemini 7 and 6A were manned launches on human-rated launch vehicles, so it isn't quite comparable yet.
but where can you buy their complicator gloves?
Depends. Maybe you should get a bonus if your work really has such an impact. And if you talk managing a team, that's not a developer position, that's a lead position (to me anyway).
I worked on the Datapower team soon after IBM acquired the product. Its a very cool device.

I don't think JSONx is built for readability, so that actually seems like a very reasonable way to convert to XML.

It's Lockheed Martin that still insists on using imperial units instead of SI, even after the loss of mission that confusion caused in their work with metric-using JPL on Mars Climate Orbiter.
I cook indian food too but my apartment always ends up smelling like a curry den. American kitchens are not particularly well designed for ethnic cooking.
> at home, nobody is there to watch you like a hawk.

Which is really the main point of working from home. The freedom to work without the needless pressure and thus getting more done.
I'm not too sure about that. Yes, if you compare the average American to the average European, you make more and have to pay for more things, so it more or less evens out.

But developer salaries - definitely not.
I am in fact not accusing CmonDev of hypocrisy. My point is that he very likely has good reasons for not working on a cure for cancer, such as knowing absolutely nothing about that very complicated subject. The same is true of the people who work in HFT.

Frankly, "Why aren't you curing cancer instead?" ought to be a recognized logical fallacy.

Agreed, sending 3000 US personnel to the area is a risky but ultimately a wise move. Some other countries have also sent people (China and the UK IIRC) but in far smaller numbers. I'm very disappointed by the limp EU response - although they've pledged E180m they're only now meeting to coordinate logistics and containment strategies, which seems really irresponsible, notwithstanding the existence of other problems like military conflict in Ukraine and the ME.
That's not tail recursion! It's tree recursion.
Well, on a visa you certainly can't.
i am a statistical anomaly, then, as someone who tracks warranty expirations in a spreadsheet and always makes sure to wipe & sell old drives before they go out of warranty. in the 20 years i've owned hard drives, i've always had failed drives replaced!

drives with longer warranties generally cost more in the consumer segment, and data like this could help people identify the "sweet spot" balancing cost with risk of failure, warranty length, and depreciation curves for storage. my "ancedata" suggests somewhere between 2 and 3 year warranties seems about right for consumer drives these days...
A lot of care is put into making sure we don't track Earth microbes to Mars in the first place to make sure if we do find life we'll be pretty sure it's not just a hitchhiker flown in from Earth in the last 40 years of space exploration.
1. Enjoyment, health, cost, in that order.

2. I don't, but my partner does.

3. Slow-cooked meats, fresh veggies, broths, fermented foods (e.g. yogurt, sauerkraut, kimchi, buttermilk).

4. We attempt a gluten-free, grain free diet, with no processed foods (especially sugars), full fat oils (e.g. olive, coconut, lard, butter, ghee), no seed oils (e.g. canola, corn, safflower). If we do have grains or legumes, we always soak them in either whey, water, yogurt, or buttermilk.

5. We are members of three different cooperative food organizations: a grocer, a buying club, and a farm. We have a massive chest freezer filled with grass-fed cow parts (steaks, hearts, bones, livers, etc.), a Vitamix blender, a Hamilton Beach slow cooker, two Le Creuset dutch ovens, an Excalibur 9-tray food dehydrator, and three cast-iron skillets.
I really do feel the need to ask, these days: am I the only technologist completely uninterested in transforming real life into Snow Crash? As far as massive-world 3D games go, I still see more artistry in the Assassin's Creed series (for all its flaws) or even something more fantastic like Pokemon Snap (safari games are the idea that stay with me for VR implementation: make something that does not already exist rather than copying meatspace) than in these weird attempts to create a "virtual reality" or even just large-scale game world modeled off... Times Square.

Not only can I already visit Times Square in real life, I choose not to. Ditto on the more branded, corporatized, ad-infested portions of the internet (ie: the "downtown internet" approved by official, polite society).

Many scifi novels (insofar as Snow Crash can even be called "fiction" rather than "prediction" these days :-() are written to make fun of wacky technologists and our just-somewhat-off-target ideas, you know.

Now, to end on a zog note rather than zig or zag, here's an idea: someone figure out the massive-game or VR equivalent of 4chan. There's something people will actually want to use. (For all the official disapproval from all sectors, 4chan and 2chan are massively popular and influential. They are offering something users want: anonymity, obscurity, simplicity, and freedom!)
