Those are a resume stain along the lines of the paragraph beginning with "Traditional college degrees represent several different kinds of information." and ending with "tell the job market almost exactly the same thing: “This person was good enough to get into Harvard.”"

A traditional student trajectory tells the HR lady the following positive (from the point of view of corporate HR) things:

1) Came from a social / economic / racial class able to afford schooling instead of work in early years

2) Dedication to a pointless goal (graduate in 4 years vs 5+, or in the corporate world this would be pointless grinding optimization of meaningless numerical metric goals)

3) Able to take on huge debt load (see #1 above) and has a huge debt load thus easier to mistreat because they've got that loan payment hanging over them (see also the reason why companies love when employees take out a mortgage or car loan, welcome to mandatory unpaid overtime LOL)

4) applicant is a follower not a leader and does whatever people tell them. Once that meant taking out $100K in loans to get a piece of paper, after hiring it'll mean helping the boss "smooth over" some regulations and accounting issues or whatever other form of corruption as long as it comes from above. Because authority wouldn't be authority unless it was correct, right?
No, it doesn't. If the activist were male, it would say "Un activista" vs "Una activista", so the gender of the person is also explicit.
You're right, but some dangerous situations can be tolerated if the benefits outweigh the negatives.

But anyway, what happened to keeping a work diary, building evidence, and then creating a court case? It's not a perfect system, but filing a lawsuite has way less chance of creating blowback than starting a social media battle. Plus it can be useful to keep a work journal for many other reasons.
Congrats to this bakery, and the felons who are happy with their job. As to someone who worked as a Baker; I can honestly state the job was one of the worst jobs I have ever
had--and I have had more than a bakers dozen x 2. The Bakery
I worked at couldn't keep employees. The hours were horrid. I remember having to be there at 4:30 a.am. The wage was
not a livable wage, unless you were living with family members. And two guys out of the 10 of us working there
committed suicide. I'll name the Bakery because the original owner was such a Jerk; it was Marin Bagel Factory.
This was in the ninties--maybe working in a bakery has changed, but any bakery owner should be glad they have any employees that show up. Sorry, but I think back at that Rat hole and cringe.

I feel that most of the answers in this thread are wrong.

Design patterns, as the wikipedia says, is "a formal way of documenting a solution to a design problem in a particular field of expertise".

So, it's a solution for a specific problem.

The main issue with HTML/CSS is that people tend to think that there's a best approach than can work with every website. But different websites require different HTML/CSS architectures, because they offer different design problems! It's not the same to create a corporate website than an application website (just to name two different problems).

I'll use the layout as an example:

There are different ways to define the layout of a website (call it grid if you want). If I want to create a secondary column, there's the "explicit" way, where I specify that my div will take 1/3rds of the main layout with a ".col-md-4" class (like http://getbootstrap.com/css/#grid does). And there's the "semantic" way, where I create a div with the "sidebar" class, and my CSS will make the div to take 1/3rds (like http://neat.bourbon.io/ does)

None of this two approaches is the best. Each one is a design pattern. And each one will be a better solution for a different problem.
Its not that seldom that subject or object of the sentence are gendered, but the pronouns are gender-neutral. As the english translation of "activist" is gender-neutral you would need quite sophisticated software to not lose that information in the translation process.
> If your point wasn't proven (=recognized by a court), then the company can ask for damages

This is so far off the mark it's ridiculous. US defamation law is much less friendly to plaintiffs compared to most European countries, especially the UK (for example). This may surprise you, but in the US, it is not enough for the plaintiff to prove that a defamatory statement is false. You have to also prove that the defendant knew the statement to be false, or you have to prove negligence by "clear and convincing evidence". This is for private plaintiffs, the standard for "public figures" is higher.

I can recognize the attitude that "if you can't prove it in court, then shut up", but there are always going to be a few really important things that you want to say that can't be proven in court. I'm not saying this is one of those times (it really isn't) but those times exist.

And I'm not taking sides on this particular case, just to be absolutely clear.

Does anyone have more knowledge about how they use the digital identities in Estonia? It sounds like everybody has a personal key that they use for signing stuff. Is that correct? How is it distributed? If so, that's the most fascinating part of the article to me.
This article is another symptom of journalism becoming sensationalism. The fact that this snippet was included, and that the public shaming was made into an article at all, is extremely deplorable.

Because of the way this article was presented, I've reserved forming an opinion of Ellis or her alleged harasser. It's skewed to make both parties look bad, and based off hearsay. The article did not reveal Ellis' overreaction to her harassment until after the allegations were repeated multiple times. It's ridiculous they didn't present everything at once, instead of attempting to lead our opinions.

The whole article was crap.
FileMerge technically, but yeah it sure looks like it.
One way to think about interviewers ignoring current immoral and unethical laws would be to step back and consider past immoral and unethical laws.

Going back a couple decades, being gay or holding the wrong political beliefs was something of a hiring problem.

Given that "we" forget that technology and fads might change, but people never do, you can safely assume that if being "outed" a couple decades ago eliminated about 95% of employment opportunities, then the equivalent today will eliminate a similar percentage.
This is not the first time that Chromium team doesn't care about even slightly older distros. Apart from the infamous RHEL 6 case, there is also the recent wheezy case.

Back in September, there was a plan for requiring at least GCC 4.9 for building Chromium, which made building new releases for Debian wheezy in a pure Debian wheezy environment impossible. [0]

Debian lacks the manpower of RedHat for backporting and supporting new software (which is GCC 4.9 for this case), so Stable Release Team and Security Team are not the most liberal teams when it comes to approving new packages into a stable release, and as a result, Chromium is not supported in Wheezy as of last month.

Fwiw vimperator works with search shortcuts on firefox, so you can:

I find Google Cloud ridiculously expensive.

I can get a VPS for $1.5 per month and it will have 50GB SSD, 1GB RAM, 2 CPU cores, 1 Gbps link.

Google Cloud's cheapest server, f1-micro, costs $7.3/month, comes with 0.6GB RAM, a shared CPU, and zero storage.
because the majority of the internet apparently does not actually understand the relationship between density, mass, and volume.

Seriously, just click on the tweet and look at the ignorant responses.

In the visual classes example, your appearance logic in now in two places: your HTML with the visual classes, and your CSS. Using only CSS or SASS or whatever else for appearance allows you to have a single place to modify the appearance of .sidebar items, which is objectively better.
Right - so it mainly seems to be "text labels to html - everything else to a .png"?
I think the problem is fundamentally that two separate concerns are entangled: education, and certification.

The certification is what you need. But to get it, the university can require you to purchase a whole bunch of very expensive education you may not need.

Only by separating the two will this problem be solved: having certification authorities that are independent of educational providers.

In that utopia, even a regular university can't grant you the certification. They can market themselves as the best and most cost effective way for you to reach the competency needed to achieve your certificate. But, perhaps MOOCs are better, or intensive library study, or perhaps you're already that competent, and don't need any education to get there.

It is only that which can solve the scandal of indebting vast swathes of young people by tens of thousands of dollars.

So I'm suspicious of this article, because the solutions described still make the same mistakes. The body that provides you with the education, certifies you as having had that education. Okay there may be more evidence as metadata, but still, the incentive is there for providers to bias their certification towards the educational products they want to sell.
The article has almost no technical details. The idea of harvesting heat is not impossible, but I think it's not practical. Does anyone have a back of the envelope calculation? Let's try:

The problem with heat is that you can't transform it completely to electricity. By the Second law of thermodynamics ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_law_of_thermodynamics
), the maximal transformation ratio is (Tmax-Tenv) / Tmax, where Tenv is the environment temperature and Tmax is the maximal temperature. And this is an upper bound, real cases are even smaller.

So, if you want to transform a lot of heat to electricity, you'd better have a very hot spot. That's why the concentrated solar power plants concentrate the light in a small place to get a high temperature. The same idea applies to other form of work, so this is the same reason the car engine is hot (and it's hotter inside the cylinders).

Back to the tires, I don't know the temperature of a tire, but I never heard of someone getting burned by touching a car tire. I'd guess that the maximal temperature is 50°C(122°F) and let's assume a cool day environment temperature of 10°C (50°F). The efficiency calculation must be done in the Kelvin scale, so the hot temperature is 323K and the cold temperature is 283K, do the maximal possible efficiency is (323K-283K)/323K ~=13%.

So, at most the 13% of the heat of the tires can be transformed to electricity, but not all the energy of the fuel goes to heat the tires. At high speed most of the energy goes to moving the air, some energy goes to the air conditioner system, some is dissipated in the radiator and with the exhaust fumes, ... So the maximal theoretical efficiency is 13% of a small part of the fuel energy, probably less than 1% overall.
That was explicitly forbidden :-)
There are a lot of interesting views of how everyone here has been exposed to self taught devs and cs grads and it seems from where I live and what I have seen its the opposite. I have seen horrible code from both sides from indie app devs to professional algorithm guys that are smart but shouldn't be coding. It's hard to assume from a persons background without much work to review but on the east coast I have met computer science engineers who some how don't know what a IP address is and couldn't throw together a html page but still get a junior C++ job. I have been obsessively reading and googling my whole life and always searching for industry standards, best practice, how low level code works and what's going on in the background - if the best we're doing it and using it then I wanted to know. I am now a dev working on just about every area for a large website and currently finishing up my first year in college...so far I can say college isn't enough. True passion and interest in your field will show in your work. Just watch some defcon vids and you'll see some amazing programmers and hackers from both sides.

Reminds me of the GitHub case. "harassment" is the new "I didn't like how things shook out".
I can't speak for Spanish, but in at least in Finnish there wont be confusion, because pronouns are used to refer to the previously named/described person:

"A man went missing last night. He was wearing a red shirt."
"Mary had a vacation last month. She travelled to Spain."

Of course there could be situations where the description doesn't tell you the persons gender, but those are rare and the gender likely didn't matter anyway (as otherwise it would have been stated). Plus since you don't need to use gendered words, no one will know even if you mistake a woman for a man or vice versa.
Off-topic, but not unrelated. She is also the author of this article:

https://medium.com/@kellyellis/commuting-by-myself-714e6dc47...

Directly from the article:

"This is why any man who is a stranger and tries to talk to me when I’m minding my own business is likely to be met with defensiveness and/or aggression. [...] If you are a strange man trying to talk to me on my way to or from work, when I am commuting alone, you are a harasser, pure and simple. You are threatening. And you need to leave me the fuck alone."

We all have either a credit-card sized chip card with our keys or a similar mobile SIM card which uses SIM applications. Using those we can do basically everything online, be it authentication to private or public services (using PIN1), or digital signatures (using PIN2).

This is also available to anyone in the world, so feel free to apply for your e-resident ID card here: https://e-estonia.com/e-residents/about/
Additionally, in French, possessive pronouns agree with the nouns they modify, so the word for "car" would receive a feminine pronoun. A quick search leads me to believe that Spanish is the same.

Perhaps Google Translate is taught to over-correct by user modifications and substitutes the male possessive pronoun in its place.
U-6 is meaningless in context. Its the number of people working part time who would theoretically like full time, plus folks who claim to want a job but haven't actually applied for a job (which includes jobs for which there are simply no more openings in the field, like the stereotypical "factory moved to china" company town).

It has absolutely nothing to do with the modern definition of underemployment as education majors working as waitresses or CS majors working helpdesks or similar examples of "I was trained for a totally different field paying four times as much, or I was trained to be my bosses bosses boss, but here I am instead with a paycheck lower than some current high school students"

"The economic improvement is undeniable."

Where? Everyone seems agreed its the case for propaganda reasons, although its invariably described as "far away from here" for all personal values of "here". With the usual meaningless weird exceptions for ivy league grads of CS programs in Manhattan and SV that we all know about etc etc.
GODHAJUR KUTSAL “H” İBADET VE KADINLAR GÜNÜ KUTLU OLSUN
In Australia, I teach at a university that offers degrees both on-campus and off-campus. Many do. The courses are regular university courses (not even a different offering -- off campus students enrol in classes with the on campus students) so naturally that means they are regulated and accredited by the same national bodies as for on-campus students.

(Technically they are "off campus" rather than "online", as the exam component of the assessment is an invigilated written exam, not an online exam)
This is exactly why such challenges are always entirely unsatisfactory and nothing but a pointless distraction. There might be some point in providing entertainment to both parties if the pedantry war weren't entered into, but the nature of the challenge all but guarantees that will happen.

Mike will always be able to find an excuse not to pay. If Parrick had imposed the 'no file renaming' condition, Mike could have found another way in which to break his submission with a counter loophole.

This type of challenge should never be made or accepted, if financial incentives are involved, without an impartial adjudicator.
How exactly would you achieve that balance? Rejecting good male candidates in favor or worse female ones? Creating make-believe positions for women?

If the percentage of females working in IT reflects the percentage of females with IT studies or interested in IT, I don't see a problem. Or at least I don't see a problem in the workspace. Maybe it's a problem of education, but I'm not sure even if this is the case or just a simple matter of different preferences between men and woman.

For bettering the mplayer experiences (but quite a bit more involved setup), perhaps one could use a web server like nginx which can server byte range requests. Better to also configure it to only do HTTPS, with some self-signed certificate.

There are places in a car where you need resistance, tires are one of them. Trying to make that resistance electrical in nature isn't completely nuts, but I think it is hard to predict how worthwhile it is in each case.

(brakes are the obvious one, harvesting that energy is already a pretty big win for vehicles, the article I link mentions harvesting energy from shocks)

The Car and Driver article also mentions piezoelectric materials in the tires, which at least sounds more sensible than just harvesting heat.
But yeah - it may well be not entirely random, and if someone actually managed to build a compressor based off any slight bias, I think they deserve the 5000 :-).
