The best coding interview I ever did was a pair programming exercise using a laptop with one of my prospective co-workers. We worked on a problem for 45 minutes, we conversed naturally about the problem, and there was very little stress.

At the end both of us came away with an understand of the others skills and how we worked as part of team.

I've since used a similar exercise when interviewing people as I've found I get a much better sense of what the candidate can do than placing them in from of a whiteboard.
I personally dislike whiteboard interviews as well. Sometime ago they ask me in an interview to code on the whiteboard in perfect Java code no pseudocode allowed. I'm not sure why you should want that.... I also done some challenges for different companies. Most of the time they are something like create X in N amount of time those I like they make so much more sense to me as you can see the result and talk about it especially when you can do it from your own home on your own computer.
I don't get it. They have the right to reject. What's wrong ?If you want to change their interview process get selected and change it !

Don't defame google,apple,fb ..etc interview process. (Humble request)

Alan Cooper wrote a well-known book on the topic, titled "The Inmates Are Running the Asylum: Why High Tech Products Drive Us Crazy and How to Restore the Sanity".
Totally agreed with Heather. Martin's Coursera course is an excellent functional programming course. The fact that it's free is kind of crazy.

Differentiating Coursera and Creative Scala, Coursera is aimed at people with some programming experience and is intended as a comprehensive introduction to functional programming. Creative Scala is intended as a taster rather than a comprehensive course. It is designed to be run as a workshop in a few hours to a day.

The bulk of Underscore's basic Scala training is our Essential Scala book/course, which is aimed squarely at people requiring learning Scala for commercial purposes. Essential Scala is a follow-on from the material in Creative Scala.
The author is a full time writer so it's quite possible he no longer uses the knowledge from his studies.
While I don't want to say if phone/whiteboard interviews are good or not, I can give you some pointers that worked great for me in the past.

1) Always, ALWAYS before writing a line of code say that you are trying to solve the problem first, by whatever means necessary and only then will you refactor.

2) Solve the problem by any means necessary. O(n*n)? Not freeing up resources? Allocating an array that is 100000 elements long just in case? No problem. Solve the problem.

3) Explain what you did/how you did it

4) Ask (if there is time) to refactor the code to be more idiomatic. Keep explaining that you wanted to solve the problem first, so later you can think of the right way to organize the code, and not the way around.

I never had an interviewer complain about solving the problem in that order nor have cut me off (even when it ran out of time) when I suggested to refactor the code in the end. Also solving the problem first, then using idiomatic code takes a bit of the stress off since you don't have to go and write and rewrite each line everytime you see something wrong.
I think it's a shame that many database courses don't even mention advanced features like CTEs or Window functions.

It makes me cringe anytime I see a statement with complicated nested self joins to solve a problem that should not exist because most current database systems implemented the relevant standards years ago.
Fine. 5 years then...? 20 years is insane in these times.
Hmm, interesting. The grant of rights looks as though it's designed to build a defense against patent claims against Facebook. Get everyone using their stuff, and anyone who does will find it quite difficult to challenge Facebook patents.

Its not all that different, we take multiple asynchronous streams of messages integrate them into a coherent predictive model, and use that to feed the reinforcement learning. The messages can contain images, a simple case can be seen in the demo with a 1d vision sensor.
But it is not a conjecture. The results are plain to see, that is my point. We really did land on the moon. People like Sir Isaac Newton, who by the way refused the holy orders of the Anglican Church too, were nonetheless allowed to pursue their interests without being threatened by the inquisition. That is what laid the foundations.

I am surprised and saddened for you, to get -4 votes here of all places. I would have thought that at least some of you may have understood and appreciated the important connection between free thought and scientific and technical progress and the fact that Henry VIII just may have made that possible in Britain.

Instead all I get is cheap jibes about "whiggish view" and Mussolini. Sad.

And no, it really is not interesting to see regurgitated back the standard TV line that "it was all to do with his gonads". Kings can and do discreetly satisfy their gonads without having to go through difficult public divorces.

I notice that quite a few of IBS/Gastro problem related articles pop up on HN.

As a UC sufferer I'm interested to know if these types of diseases are more prevalent in our community or simply a statistical average.

Do our work environments and habits affect our prevalence to such diseases? Do we have bad diets? Too much caffeine or stress? More prevalence to colds and other ailments that result in antibiotic treatments?

Any thoughts?

- finding stuff is a process of trial and error

This is an edited extract from Happy City: Transforming Our Lives Through Urban Design by Charles Montgomery

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_City
London's developers are hell-bent on snapping up the best bits of the city for the wealthiest clients, and the government doesn't seem very motivated to protect them for public enjoyment.

It's pretty frustrating as a citizen feeling that no one's got your back - the rich and the powerful work hand in hand for their benefit and everyone else is left with the scraps - little bits of fenced of public space as a charity gesture for the people who made the foolish choice of not being filthy rich.

There is no way to be safe from patents. Anyone could have them, they don't have to declare them, and they're written in deliberately obtuse ways so that you have no way of finding relevant patents before you're sued for infringing them (you don't have to have copied, or even be aware of, any patented thing to violate a patent). It's just a hazard of the software industry.

The BSD license says nothing about patents, so this project is in some sense safer than a "normal" BSD-licensed project (but not an Apache, EPL or GPLv3-licensed project). The grant Facebook is giving you is fairly minimal but that's understandable from their perspective: they don't want to give you any extra patent rights, just enough to use the stuff they're actually trying to release.

It's not safe to use software in a commercial project. Facebook might hold patents on any random library you're using. Companies that aren't Facebook might hold patents on any random library or on React. You could develop a library in-house in a clean room and it could still infringe someone else's patent. Patents really suck that way. But React is in no more danger than any other code you might use.

EDIT: no more danger than any other BSD-licensed code. It would be safer to use code that has a less revocable patent grant, such as that in the Apache License, EPL, or GPLv3.
Why would average android users care? It's not for them. But I work for a large company which allows me to use my own device for work purposes,but I have to install a 3rd party sandboxing app, which encrypts everything inside it and allows our IT department to remotely wipe it if needed. If Android supported this natively, we wouldn't have to spend big $$$ on a 3rd party solution.
It relies on the Referer [sic] header, so if you are blocking it or copying the link and opening in a new tab, that won't work.

Webflow is hiring UI Engineers to build the future of the web
At Webflow, we’re empowering users to build the future of the web. Our design and publishing tool enables professional designers and developers alike to quickly build web sites without writing a single line of code. It’s the power of a front-end web developer wrapped in a UI that gives creatives unprecedented control over their site. Check out: http://interactions.webflow.com and http://geospace.webflow.com for some sample sites our users have created.

We’ve been lucky that designers all over the world have caught on. 200,000+ users on our platform have designed several hundred thousand websites, serving millions of page views. Designers at Groupon, as well as world class agencies use Webflow on a daily basis to accelerate their design and development. See Webflow in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvOZsJVpYZg

This is a great opportunity for engineers passionate about design, engineering, and product development to join our growing company. If you have a passion for creating UIs in Javascript, we have one of the most intriguing products you can ever work on.

We use a combination of tools everyday. Our designer is built on top of knockout.js, dashboard in Angular, and we have major products in development using React.js. Our backend is powered by node.js.

Our team of 12 is small but growing. We have several engineering openings in San Francisco Bay Area. Check us out: http://jobs.webflow.com (built in Weblfow of course!)
Those reasons would explain why the product is failing but the product isn't failing. It has 1bn viewers and $4bn revenue. By any measure those are signs of a very successful product offering.

Youtube's problems are that their costs are too high. If you have $4bn coming in, but providing the service to generate that $4bn costs $4bn, then you need to do things to make your business more efficient. It really is that simple. Making a "better" product won't change anything if every dollar you bring in still costs a dollar to service. You'd just push the revenue up and still make no profit.
This depends on what is being made is a means to an end vs a end in itself.
Can't blame them, really.

If the stats aren't based on samples of real-world data, rather than very rigorously designed experimental comparisons, I think there's another reason to be wary of p-values. [Note, in what follows I probably use some terminology wrong, because I'm not a statistician, but I do think the point is important and I don't see much written about it.] In the real world data is not a bunch of independent events, but events (or data points) that are interconnected in ways that are difficult to quantify. I once heard a presentation by an expert in AB testing at a leading tech company who became wary of his results and brought his concerns about non-independence of events that were being tested to corporate statisticians. (He was concerned that, even though the AB testing procedure supposedly randomized the test, interconnectedness within website traffic was not being accounted for.) By his account, the statisticians agreed it was a problem but recommended that he assume that variations due to non-independence would more or less balance each other out. He wasn't satisfied with this and said that he went ahead and did some more measurements, then ran out all the binomial expansions rather than relying on approximations. When he did this more detailed work, he found out that with at least some web-based AB tests, where conventional statistical formulas showed a p-value of .05, he was getting a confidence level of more like 30%. (I don't think you could call his measurement a p-value because he wasn't using the formulas normally used to compute p-values, but I think what he was saying was more or less that the p-value from the forumalae was .05 when it should have been .30 from a more rigorous look)

As I'm not a statistician by trade I don't keep up on the literature very well, but interconnectedness of data does seem to me to be a very important issue. I'm wondering if anyone can point me to some helpful reading to understand this side of the issue better. In particular, is there any approach to AB testing that can reliably address the issue of data interconnectedness in the kind of situation described above?
Macros are not an alternative to generics, they're an alternative to C++'s template specialisation.

Most languages with generics don't provide for user-controlled code generation via generics (if they do generics-based codegen at all, IIRC GHC uses erased generics for instance). They tend to use macro systems or preprocessors instead.

I'm aware of libpcap's ability to share memory with a user buffer, but I didn't find any mention that tcpdump utility is actually written to exploit it for extra fast writes.

Look here how they handle this in stenographer:
https://github.com/google/stenographer/blob/65fb928e6bce276c...

I guess that in principle they could have patched tcpdump, but it's probably easier to have a smaller software written to do exactly what you want rather than extend a general purpose mature complex tool such as tcpdump.
I like the idea, but you need to execute and position much better. Here's a book that will help you do that: http://brainaudit.com/

Security implications for the C-suite
> Usually in the IT monitoring world, there’s very little you can get for free.

Ironic, considering Opsview has built their entire product on top of software that anyone can get for free (well, unless you buy Opsview, in which case they'll charge you a pretty penny for it).

> It’s completely free for up to twenty five devices and comes with full enterprise functionality out of the box, instead of just a base to build off of.

Also ironic, considering that, for years, Opsview's most popular product (Opsview Core) was exactly that -- "a base to build off of" -- until one day they suddenly decided it was "for test environments" and that my customer needed to spend USD $6,000/year for their "Enterprise product".

Fortunately, I partially redeemed myself by successfully changing the minds of two other customers when I found out they were about to do just that.
