I don't see where this is premature optimization. You, and the author, clearly know a lot about the field and the nature of the problem, so you're already past the 'premature' portion. If I know from the start that I've got a function that will be called 10,000 times per second, there's no reason I should write the un-optimized version first. That's like starting every sort off with a bubble sort; I don't need to optimize to quick sort switching off to insertion as appropriate from the beginning of coding, but I know I can do better than bubble from the get-go.

Defining "premature optimization" as the less hyperbolic "optimization before we know we need it," I think it's clear that the problem you've written shows you already know you need it!
I understand those are the web technologies, but how is this being run in the back? Tons of mac servers, with multiple IOS simulators on each? One running per user on the mac? Custom software to control and pass through to the socket?

I think there are categories, and we haven't figured out what to call them yet or how to define them. I see archetypes emerging over the years, and patterns. I've worked with career programmers that are done at 5:00pm, and never crack a book. They work fine in their niche, and when layoff come, they're working tech support. I know others that love problems but can't seem to make their ideas become manifest, yet kludge snippets from StackOverflow to create a product. I personally live for challenge, I learn new languages and tech as a hobby, and lead growth and change in every org I've worked for. Often at the cost of health, and relationships. We're all programmers, but we're not all the same.
Ok, somebody has clearly jumped the shark!
A somewhat unrelated question. It seems like beacons broadcasting their GPS location at 978 MHz (30cm) from altitude could be used to measure parameters of the atmosphere. Take 3 frequency-locked receivers, separated by a few meters, and it seems like, one can get the wind vector along the line of the airplane/receiver. Feasible?

This also applies to:

- Having a Github page

- Contributing to Open Source Projects

- Knowing (or not) a certain language

- Knowing (or not) a certain technology

- Knowing one of the latest fads

Of course, this affects whether you can work on certain projects or not, but not that "every programmer knows that" is a fallacy (except for something really fundamental)

> You are welcome to move to a place that permits employees to be abused.

I had to reply to this one separately.

Sorry brother, this statement is ridiculous on the face of it. No state, city or town in the US is characterized by having rules allowing employees to be abused. That's just nonsense. I suggest you might want to stop exaggerating as it does little to help one take your point of view seriously. No law in the US allows employees to be abused. California isn't magical in any way in this regard. Stop spinning.

But the Rift has a very high FOV compared to what many AR applications require. If you only need to draw a relatively small AR object instead of drawing the whole FOV, 1080p goes a long way.

Kinda like the 1080p laptop screen in front of me is cleary enough, but stretching that to the whole FOV decreases the pixel density too much.
it uses an OTP so even if they intercepted it, it wouldn't be useful
there are a number of ways to be a good programmer: being a skilled puzzle solver / algorithmist is one of them, being good at designing apis is another, deciding what even needs to be built is another.
Yes. I hate puzzles too, and so do most of the other programmers I actually like hanging out with.

Looks to me like all Systemd does it move the logic from the init file itself and into a binary blob inside init.

And that blob is going to be harder to debug, never mind fix, on a production system. While your manager is breathing down your neck about getting it back up ASAP.

Absolutely agree, but I'd extended it to good communicator. Communication touches on so much of what we do as programmers, be it talking to customers, sharing ideas amongst a team or writing code in a way that's readable by others, that it should be a primary concern.
Thank you for this little riddle, I like how it sounds almost like a joke until you realise what the last piece of info actually means.

Seriously though, I am not really sure how I feel about this. While systemd obviously has benefits, I just can't shake the feeling that it goes against the Unix paradiam. But then again, I also prefer xterms and a window manager over a desktop environments like KDE, Xfce, and Gnome, so maybe that explains my mixed feelings.

Definitively: Yes!

Everyone has their own preferences. Like you, I lose interest in puzzles after a few minutes. Whatever it is that gives some people great satisfaction out of finding that one missing piece, I didn't get it.

I can't speak to your experience, but for me, I like architecture. Finding the right way to glue pieces together is actually very interesting to me. I basically implemented reflection in C++ before I even knew that's what it's called because I thought it would be fun. I enjoy debugging and assembly optimizations.

What I found is that this speaks to the difference between a prototypical Software Engineer and Computer Scientist.

Engineers are interested in getting stuff done efficiently, and not just in CPU cycles--time for coding, training new coders, maintenance, extensibility, and how often the code will ever be run all must be taken into account. In my experience, grabbing someone else's solution via a package manager or using a 10-minute brute-force solution to a very hard problem can be the most "efficient". Just throw comments on it and avoid the puzzle so you can get something working. Of course, be sure to isolate the code so that if it ends up being a hotspot it's easy to fix later.

Computer Scientists, on the other hand, seek that efficient solution. Many of the PhD candidates I encountered were optimizing very specific cases of very hard problems (largely related to distributed computing). They enjoy spending time picking apart algorithms and understanding the problem so thoroughly that they can prove, confidently, that they have the most efficient solution to any given problem.

In the end, each broad category relies on its partner, and all programmers have to have some of both. Some of us just lean harder to one side than the other.
In my experience USB ports break when you insert/remove plugs, not from static strain. You insert something too large, or too awkward, an suddenly you need a new motherboard.
Ah, that's cool! Thanks.
An even sillier bruteforce lets you reproduce the problem almost verbatim: let a and b be the daytime and nighttime prices, let x, y, and z be the number of chickens sold during the day by each farmer.

[(a, b, x, y, z) for a in xrange(1, 500) for b in xrange(1, a) for x in xrange(1, 11) for y in xrange(1, x) for z in xrange(1, y) if 3500 == a*x + b*(10 - x) == a*y + b*(16 - y) == a*z + b*(26 - z)]

Wait, what he's saying is that it's not obvious that View -> Toolbars -> Navigation Toolbar toggles the visibility of the navigation toolbar? I still have nothing but pure distaste for the current "I can look like Chrome, too!" UI decision of Firefox, and I'm just going to get more peeved as they kill off more features for pure stylistic sake.

So in the future I'll have to browse through another 6 dozen 'classic options' add-ons until I find one that is maintained, compatible, does what it claims, and hopefully doesn't break my privacy?

Sounds great that the company that puts "Your Privacy First" finds that untrusted third parties are the best providers of core functionality that should have been in the browser to begin with.
Yes. We need to stop thinking of programmers as artists and more as artisans. This is not a devaluation, this is exactly what it is and a very necessary job. Each shoemaker used to be proud of his shoes, even though there are not so many different ways to make them. Less so in the early modern ages.

I look forward to either disproving this, or being defeated by it. My stance is that great connectivity and communication (think google hangout) combined with cheap flights between Myrtle Beach and Boston can make it happen. Investors may be enticed by additional reasons to head to Myrtle Beach: golf, vacation, warmth.
When you are young and have nothing to show, puzzle solving, like a school degree, is a way for other people to judge you. When you have experience and track record, puzzle is like meh. People still using puzzle to judge an experienced developer are not very good in evaluating others.

>She also have this conspiracy theory about sport stars returning to sport 3 months after especially bad injuries - they must get stem cells, it's impossible otherways.

No conspiracy, they are all using HGH. Someone did some analysis on the shortened recovery times for players with ligament tears (like ACLs) and found that while the recovery times have always been getting shorter thanks to improvements in physical therapy, but the there was a dramatic drop at about the time HGH started to be widely used.

The NFL just started lasting for HGH last month. The test supposedly is easy to beat, but it will be interesting to see if it has an effect on times.
Perhaps it's a cultural thing?

In England there is a scam where builders go door to door offering to fix your driveway. Part of the scam is offering to do it cheap because they have some left over asphalt from a large job and it needs to be used quick.

They then do a terrible job with the stolen asphalt, but cosmetically it looks okay so the householder pays and the crooks leave.
Ok, but a jigsaw puzzle is sooo not the kind of puzzle that programming is at all about, even the explicit "puzzle" questions that companies like Facebook dish out.

> Sweet Alert came up before and people made this same pedantic and unimaginative addition

Its presented as a replacement for alert so pointing out that it's not a drop-in replacement seems relevant to me at least. Even if most alert usages can easily be replaced by this (somewhat dubious depending on your definition of "easily"), additional work will still need to be done for many (most?) of them.

Also being able to add a "blocking" call in JavaScript would be a _big deal_, so noting that this does not do so seems like something worth mentioning.

The actual document is available as a PDF from the FCC, here:

http://transition.fcc.gov/Daily_Releases/Daily_Business/2014...

I do not see the '40 million' number mentioned in that document, but there are a lot of other legal documents which may be important here.

The key problem is that these states offloaded their 911 calls to Intrado, a company which specializes in looking up the closest actual agency which can respond (called a "PSAP" in the jargon). Intrado had to engineer for two time-domain multiplexed (TDM) systems, basically one normal and one legacy. The legacy system served a CAMA[1] system of 911 PSAPs, CAMA just means that the system automatically logged every number and time.

Because it was servicing this system which had log numbers, it wrote that CAMA's information to some sort of database. (It's a little more complicated than that but basically they needed to make unique IDs as part of the CAMA's protocol.) The counter could only generate N entries. When it tried to handle more entries, some warning-level notification was raised by software, severe enough to crash the application but not severe enough to emit a warning that would alert Intrado's IT staff. All CAMA-routed destination traffic from this Intrado server was affected.

It took several hours before they figured out what was wrong, in part because some other 911 system went down at the same time for an unrelated reason and they figured wrongly that they were related. Once they realized what was going on, they rerouted to a backup server which didn't have a full log file. This second server was able to handle 911 calls while the original bug was fixed. About 6,600 calls did not make it through the system and were dropped (in the form of a busy signal?) rather than routed. They could have switched over to the backup server immediately, but (a) they missed the warnings that their software was emitting, and (b) they didn't understand that the server was the problem.

Right, I get that. That's why the company wants the capital. It's impossible for any young company to need this sum of money at once. But it doesn't justify the market giving it to them.

The ultimate effect is the entire market got denied a substantial amount of capital (not just ML's competitors) in order for a single entity to gamble it.

That's irresponsible of everyone, founders and investors included. Either acquire, go public, or JV to secure an opportunity. Why sap such a huge swathe of capital from the opportunistic ecosystem?
That is exactly how I feel about puzzles. They just feel like such a waste of time, especially jigsaw puzzles. What do you even do with them once you're done?

There are a lot of reasonable criticisms about the systemd family of utilities. I am very skeptical to the utility of binary logging for example. It makes an effort to guarantee integrity but does not make any guarantees and is useless in the face of an adversary.

I also have a suspicion there is a more friendly way do what PolicyKit provides, which is not at all very transparent to an administrator. You could easily trust software with privileges without realizing it. There are also concerns about the hard dependency on these utilities for GNOME, but I don't use it myself so I don't know if the concerns are valid or not.

I believe however most of the criticism centered on how udev was dropped as a separate utility, despite concerns from other developers, and the way people who tried to keep feature parity in a stand alone fork was treated. They was basically told they were regarded as downstream developers.

This is mostly water under the bridge now of course, but it makes cooperation a lot harder than it should be.

With a lot of BS being spewed on the net like "everybody needs to know how to unit test", "everybody should learn how to use Vagrant", "everybody should know Ruby", "knowing the SOLID principles is essential"

And then you ask them how to write a regular expression and they fall flat on their face. Or the basics of how to do a Fourier transform. Or how to draw something on a canvas.
that's not what backpropagation is. Backpropagation is best thought of as a 'cheat' (algorithmic simplification) that allows you to calculate the derivative of a feed-forward neural net. You would need to calculate the derivative of a neural net in general to optimize relative to some cost function, you could use, for example, gradient descent, but that is computationally costly.

For some neural nets, you still have a gradient, but the concept of back or forward propagation is not defineable. Based on the topology and structure of biological neural nets, what would you think is the case?
Sorry, you misunderstood, my fault. I was only reacting to the comment about California being a place where employees are not abused. One could very well argue that CA abuses everyone, not just employees. How much do you pay in taxes, all taxes, not just income tax? It's huge. Take a a look at our freeways, they are utterly destroyed and being maintained badly. There's a portion of the 5 I travel every day where you have about two miles of seriously messed up road. The two right lanes are kidney killing. This is a tax. How? Your car gets beat up and your cost of maintenance goes up. Where is all that money we pay in taxes to maintain our highways? Stolen to pay ridiculous pensions to government workers.

With regards to the phone ruling. Well, I've been paying a portion of my employee's phone bills for, well, I don't know, two decades. Didn't know we had to legislate common sense and decency.
