It's not like having special eye surgery to visit galleries. It's more like creating special lighting in a gallery for viewing art. The difference being you don't have to use the amplifier all the time, for everything. What your complaint about having to select well-engineered and artistic music doesn't spell out is that this material does exist, and I imagine the setup would absolutely be worth it if you care enough. I'm not saying that all the modern audiophile stuff is true, but if you want to sit in a room and hear as close as possible recreations of your favorite symphony conducted by your favorite long-dead composer, why not try to get the signal as clear as possible?
Whiteboard tests are an excellent way to tests someone's ability to:

- write using their hands

- face one direction and talk in another

- talk while coding

- estimate insertion space

- write in horizontally straight lines

- avoid getting ink on their sleeves

The best places I've interviewed at game me a machine, a problem, and some quiet time to solve it.

However for others, I bring pencil and grid paper, and ask to sit beside people and solve the problem with them looking over my shoulder.
Besides the specific stressful situation (which one will never experience on the job, doing day-to-day duties), one thing that is really flawed in those kind of interviews - it is assumed that you spent several months preparing for coding interviews. Many don't have a time for this, and many don't even enjoy these kind of puzzles, competitive programming. There is nothing wrong with that.
And the accusations are equally predictable and disappointing.

Maybe some (or many) those "disappointingly common" cases aren't quite the clear-cut misogyny but more similar to what you ran into in this thread?
Thank you, I'll take a look at it and fix it soon.
EDIT: Fixed :)
You would use "they" to refer to the class of people who are police but "it" to refer to organizations like a police department.

What I fail to see is: why is the gender of the characters so important?
It doesn't seem to make any difference on the mentioned games (unlike, eg: Diablo II, where the female characters had different skillsets from the male ones).

I've never understood why so many people feel compelled to play with a character with the same gender/race/etc as themselves.

What amazes me even more, is that people are willing to pay for this.
I think what we need most is a community-backed source of fingerprints. Because the authority-based approach only works well for popular songs (at least, that is my impression, based on frequently using commercial recognizing apps).
Whoa whoa let's slow down here. Kombucha is tasty (IMO) and the probiotics are great -- I enjoy kombucha and kefir regularly. But I'm not going to tell anyone it's magical or guaranteed to not cause them harm. There's simply not enough research either way. Correlation does not imply causation.

In April 1995, two women who had been drinking the tea daily for
2 months were hospitalized with severe acidosis -- an abnormal
increase of acid levels in body fluids. Both had high levels of
lactic acid upon hospitalization. One woman died of cardiac
arrest 2 days after admission

I think that it's more likely those two women had underlying health issues they were trying to cure with kombucha instead of getting proper treatment; I find it plausible that it can cause harm to some people with preexisting conditions we have not yet identified.

You can die from drinking too much water too, you know...
You're right but wrong. That's all OK in theory but not in reality having migrated various Java EE gubbins on a project. It's a rat's nest of supposed standards and interop that doesn't amount to much at the end of the day because there's still coupling to infrastructure and configuration at every level. On top of that there's edge cases that the APIs and standards don't consider as they're all pretty leaky.

Dropfish is a cohesive "opinion in a box" that just works without having to do a Java EE iteration zero which is hours of eye-stabbing pain. Someone did all the hard work of swapping components out until they found something that wasn't horrible and stuck them all together.

The Java EE ecosystem is mature, you're right but it's not pleasant, is inflexible despite its modularity and doesn't live up to it's promoted abilities.

Saying that I've used both in production, but would rather can both of them and use something like flask and python with SQLAlchemy just for the fact I don't have to deal with massive heavyweight environments and it's possible for a human to understand it all in a lifetime.

Also, 500 level deeps stacks in Java+OSGI projects make me cry. Trac has a better composition and component model!
yes, love to play, and love to teach.

similarly, i find it hard to play other games because they seem silly by comparison.
Maybe I can help translate the author's EE work into "HN speak" in that what the author did with this amp design is similar to how programmers do "turing tarpit" language challenges.

The game rules are usually picked based on how much the player wants to put up with. His spec for low freq 3dB down is weirdly low to me because I don't own drivers that run that low (LOL) although the spec for 1dB down is probably more "audiophile relevant". I suppose as a design goal if a recording has a 5 hz signal I'd want it to be properly amplified for the speakers to turn into heat instead of sound, rather than clipping and making noisy harmonics every 5 or 10 hz up the band, so there is that justification, but, why not input filter instead of just making heat in the speaker crossover?

In this story, the game rules were use as little post-1970 components as possible while maxing out various specs to beyond human hearing. A good analogy for programmers would be writing a quicksort in BF or intercal. You don't do that because you need production code, you do that on a dare or to see if its possible or for the sheer heck of it.

Personally if I needed 50 or so watts I'd use a TI TPA3116 and call it good. There's kits available on ebay and elsewhere, its a stereotypical more than a couple watts less than a hundred watts modern class D amp. Simple design one chip no need for heatsink at lower power out. Does need 24V power and a heatsink for full power out. The chip costs about a buck. But that breaks the rules of the game because those didn't ship till maybe two or three years ago, not 1965.
I don't know how to break this to you. You'll probably want to sit down before you read any further.

Someone born when the Neo Geo came out is 25 years old today. They've probably graduated college. They might be married. They might have kids. Around here, they might even be CEO of a company.

It was weird for me to realize there were people who practically had an NES in the cradle and have never seen an Atari 2600.

For those youngsters, the Neo Geo is probably a fascinating piece of history. It's a system as old as they are, with capabilities beyond anything else out at the time. But, it's relegated to a footnote in history.

Just wait until they discover the Atari Lynx.

I wear a moto360 everyday since october, and I really like the "hardware part" of the watch (it looks good and feels nice).
But, the software (or whatever it is), is a complete mess.
The UI (card display, gestures) is made for square screens, not round ones.
The voice control either doesn't work because of my accent/noisy surroundings or it makes you look like a very very strange person.
For a long time, there was an issue that kept the time displayed on the watch's ambient screen from updating (so you would get "jumps" of several minutes when the watch activated).

I could go on for a long time, but I think you get the idea: it is just not a finished product.
It's funny that you mention TV and computer graphics, because TV and computer sound has not been a case of "buy anything in the hifi shop and get reasonable results". When using the audio chain built into modern motherboards I consistently hear noise from some bus or another polluting the actual audio output. Poorly-designed, poorly-shielded amps still happen and unlike modern video output it's not a digital signal that has error correction built in.
While I like the opinionated nature of Dropwizard, there's still a lot of manual stuff you have to do to get things working. Wish it had some automation built-in similar to Grails and JHipster (http://jhipster.github.io/)
Its useful to point out that although the standard accounting method was used for the official numbers, at least one of the drilling companies in this article also included the impact of current prices on their reserves. Investors care about this, know about it, and at least some of the the companies give them information so it can be properly priced in.
Do you have any intuition for whether the echhoprint-codegen algorithm would be suitable for saying whether two voice recordings match? One would be a little lossy, the other pretty much perfect.
> Or is it just people who think the stock market is important (itself questionable) but don't know anything about it?

As a kid, for many years, the first and only exposure I had to the concept of the stock market was the clockwork reference to DJIA on public radio or tv. I think the founding of the exchange might have been mentioned in school, too (and not much else).

So, later in life, when I wanted to understand things better, I started reading about the Dow and picking it apart. It was an entry point for me; I assume it must have been for many others as well.

Now that I have more knowledge, I question - as you apparently do - whether any of it is worth getting too deeply involved in for the average person. Still, I'm glad I know more about it now, and I do think we need far better financial literacy built into our school system.
Is it as bad as the US? Black americans make up half the US prison population;

Based on the numbers I find the the ratio for blacks in the US is 40-45% prison to population vs 12% general population.
In the UK the numbers seem to be about 12-15% prison population vs 2.5% general population.

If you look at Muslims instead of blacks then you'll find similarly lopsided ratios in many European countries. According to some sources as many a 70% of prisoners in France are Muslim (read North African or Turkish in most cases) compared to 10-12% of the general population.

So to answer your question in one word "Yes".
I'd rather use a careful selection of libraries that provide me a single executable to run than have to work with OSGI or a JEE container.

>> I always wondered how much is in the interest of Twitter to get rid of fake accounts. <<

Mr. Eden there found out how to identify them quite nicely without having access to internal Twitter tech, so my guess is Twitter could have done the same, but hasn't. So I think the answer is, "not much."
Seems unlikely: in the experiments here the lists are not sorted in the sense of the stack overflow question (i.e. they are not in numerical or alphabetical order). They are sorted (in memory) by their index in the linked list. By definition the array is already in this order.

This is the common theme in the comments on this story:

The argument we have socialized risk but privatized the successes is invalid, because when those successes pay off, the taxes paid by those success stories repay the individual investments in those individual success stories.

That is not what the term "risk" means. "Risk" also includes all the investments which did not pay off.

DevOps as it has been implemented in tons of company is bs.

Its like the "Agile" push that companies thought they could get by buying a tool, and changing nothing else (release schedules, feature based release dates etc).

My favorite way of looking at it is simple - replace the word DevOps with empathy. That is the core of the idea, so lets try it - "Empathy Team", "Empathy Person", "Empathy Engineer".

DevOps is about dev and ops teams communicating and having empathy for the requirements of the other team.

No, I'm afraid you'll have to do the understanding all by yourself.
Right. So unattainable means "not feasible", not impossible - or that it's not possible to enumerate all legal positions. I of course realize that simulating all possible games (ignoring cycles) would be very demanding.
It seems OP is using the word DevOps to describe what is traditionally referred to as "special projects". Essentially, the non-technical CIO hears a new buzzword and hires a team to implement it in an ivory tower without fully partnering with existing team members. From OO to SOA to Agile to DevOps and everything in between these initiatives almost always fail. That of course doesn't mean that OO is bad, or that DevOps is bad. It is just that the "special project" methodology is terrible.
> only supports add,commit,push,pull,undo.

It supports checkout too :). I've used it for some projects here and, honestly, for 99% of scenarios it works - for the 1% you can get someone who knows git to fix things up (instead of a junior doing a rebase on public history or something).

GitVS significantly lowers the barrier of entry for Git, which almost every other Git interface is embarrassingly dreadful at doing.

This is one thing that Microsoft does that almost everyone else misses. It's part of the "embrace, extend, exterminate" idea that they are accused of from time-to-time. To extend, Microsoft takes a complicated concept like Git and creates a simple facade for it. While everyone was fiddling with htaccess and whatnot, Microsoft had a simple IIS UI designed for everyone and the more advanced scripting interface if you needed it. Instead of makefiles I simply add files to a project. Instead of resolving conflicts between packages and chasing down obsolete libraries you just double-click setup.exe. Instead of a rookie "corrupting" your Git master with a rebase, you have them adding, committing, pushing, pulling, undoing and checking out.

If anyone were to see the lack of functionality in the GitVS as embarrassing they would most certainly be correct: it's embarrassment for Git itself.

Well, Java EE can be (is) overwhelming. This is a nicely curated list of quality libraries and feels more like one than like a framework.

I think that the Java folk would do well to promote such things as well as Java EE, since they cater to different market.

The Node.js guys have demonstrated that there is a market for "arbitrary assemblies" and if for whatever reason Java does not promote projects such as this it will lose those developers entirely: I doubt they will be willing to start using Java EE on day 1.

I suppose my point is that transparency for artistic/entertainment purposes was achieved long ago. The fact that we need to involve lab equipment to decide on the superior signal chain is testimony to this.

Now, people seem to be trying to get better fidelity than that of the original recording medium, which is obviously insane. You're listening past the art to examine details of the noise floor of 20th century equipment that weren't even detectable at the time. What on earth is the point of that? I mean it's one thing to do that to a Stockhausen record, but I don't think Miles would be terribly impressed.

There's a law of diminishing returns for this stuff, and after a very small amount of time and money you're going to be better off contemplating the music and not the sound, even if the sound still aint great. You can be sure that's what the composer was doing.
