This is a nice problem to have, so find some comfort in that. Personally, I have felt that in situations like these I usually know what's better but I just don't know it when I am confused and just keep thinking about the options. So how to get rid of the confusion? Sit down and relax and then WRITE IT DOWN. Make a table. You are looking for 2 things - What are you gaining and what are you missing out on - by working at Google and by doing your own startup. Think thoroughly and write everything down. Once you have laid down everything you can think of, leave the notes. Get back to them after a few hours or even the next day (Meanwhile you may keep thinking about some of the things you wrote, that's ok). Then review with a heavy focus on the 'what are you missing out on' column and TADA! If you are honest with yourself, you should have your answer. Wish you all the best with whichever option you go with. Don't forget to update the thread with your decision and why you went ahead with it. Who knows it may probably help someone down the line.

Moynihan was snubbed for writing the report and liberals and conservatives alike have since been very afraid to comment on the state of black families in the US.

The black family unit in the US has been under attack for over 500 years. During slavery, blacks were prohibited from marrying and relationships between father, mother, and children were torn apart at the slaveowners whim. Slavery was still in existence 150 years ago, and it existed on US soil for 350 years prior. Reconstruction offered brief solace, but then came Jim Crow, white terrorist organizations like the KKK, a so-called social welfare system that overzealously institutionalized and split apart poor families, the war on drugs/crime, Clinton era cuts to welfare that disproportionally affected working single mothers and poor children of color, etc.

Don't worry about it. From the pastebin it says to sign it in the email, not on a .doc or .pdf, so it's not legit. From the rest of the info you provided it's definitely a scam so just delete and forget.
You're ignoring the fact that terminology has subtle psychological effects. A woman might fail to apply not because she's consciously offended by the label but because she subconsciously identifies with it less than she would with a gender-neutral term.
Are there multiple tech leads per one people manager?

Correct. My manager has 4 TLs reporting to him. My TL has a team of 7 not including himself, which is actually on the higher extreme. My previous TL had a team of 4 which is more typical. For career/HR-y management aspects I interact 1:1 with my manager for those, as does my TL. TLs will naturally offer career guidance/mentorship informally by virtue of technical seniority (where applicable) as well as feedback to managers and promo committees that will feed into conversations regarding the technical readiness for promotion for someone on their team.

I have a reservation with tech leads who stop writing code as in my experience they'll stagnate (the time frame is maybe 2,3 years).

TLs at Google stay quite technical (and mine certainly does) and write code as a routine matter of course.
Really depends on the business and their clients. If you've got a lot of corporate clients stuck on IE8/9, why disenfranchise them? Although I will say this has me re-considering flex.

"You've Haunted Me All My Life" and "Hold No Guns" feel like they were already done (and better) on Plans and on Ben Gibbard's solo album. "Ingenue" and "Binary Sea" feel sort of 'meh' to me. "Binary Sea" in particular feels like a love ballad rehash of Transatlanticism minus the heart-on-the-sleeve nature that the original had.

I think "No Room in Frame" and "The Ghosts of Beverly Drive" are great, even though the latter sounds like a spruced up version of "Blacking out the Friction" ;)
On the first point, managers where I have been rotate around more frequently than a year. They reorg every six months or so. Secondly, if a team sized software project goes on more than a year, it is in jeopardy, so most team sized projects don't have more than a year of planning. Switching roles once per year should be the minimum.

On the second point, no real potential for career growth are precisely what drives good IC's out of the company. You feel managers shouldn't have to do IC roles because it's bad for their career? It's also then bad for IC careers. This is the typical manager viewpoint, they don't want to do IC work because it's beneath them and their only goal is to get promoted, get more power, and make more money but not make the company more successful. These are the money and power motivated people that you don't want.
Some have posted along the lines of asking 'wouldn't it be easy to just get a fast food job' - seemingly entirely missing the point.

Most minimum wage jobs in the UK are worse than nothing at all. A month or two's salary saved would get you a year of hiking around Europe and sleeping rough. Perhaps my neurochemistry is atypical but I see the latter as absolutely better.

The idea of low-paid work as a stepping stone is generally nonsense outside of a few select cases too. At large corporations management generally operate on a different 'tier' (e.g. graduate scheme, direct entry from university). Professionals are educated; going from McDonalds to surgeon requires going to school first; the minimum wage job will not help you save for those fees unless you have bank of Mum and Dad on your side.

Das Kapital covers this well. Labourers must be coerced into labouring; if they are able to provide for themselves they will, and this is a rational choice.

It's not entirely accurate to say it was an unintended consequence. The Coleman Report predicted these sorts of issues if desegregation was implemented in the way that it was.

One simple branchless optimization form I've used is collision detection across an array of values: instead of testing each one, i add their value to a counter(perhaps with some mapping of data to collision value). After iterating over a lot of them, I can do just one test. This is very cpu-friendly as the pipeline gets to crunch all the numbers in one go.

http://bikesnobnyc.blogspot.com/2008/04/victim-complex-copin...

You are victim blaming! Bikers who leave their bike unlocked do NOT deserve those bikes to be stolen!

They made a mistake. But the criminal remains a criminal. A thief who steals an unlocked bike has committed a crime JUST as heinous as a criminal who steals a locked bike. The level of effort is much lower, but the crime is one and the same.

Similarly, our discussion is with regards to this kid who gained unauthorized access to a computer. Granted, this "unauthorized" access was laughably weak amount of security, but it is still victim blaming to offload the blame from the criminal (ie: the kid).
Michael Stipe said in an interview that "Fables of the Reconstruction" was his least liked record. When they recorded it the band was exhausted from touring, they were burned out and very negative. The negativity made for a dark record. He felt the negativity wasn't what they were about. That album is one of my favorites because of the darkness.

Ben addressed this divide between the artist and fan in the interview. It's so true that the context in which a song is heard becomes part of the song in a person's memory.

I'm a recently-become fan of DCfC. I can already tell that I'm going to listen to their songs many times over and think about every lyric in their albums the same way I did with REM.
OpenCL support for FPGAs is super limited and only done through vendor specific tools. The point of these tools is more to LET you write your FPGA program that runs outside of a desktop computer in OpenCL than it is to make an FPGA be able to speed up your OpenCL program running on a desktop. So it is not like 'I will pop in a new FPGA card so I can play better games.' Though that is what i want to happen in the next...... lets say 5-10 years.

> There is nothing white people can do to fix this. Blacks have always decided what kind of culture they want to have and they will continue to do so.

This is so clearly untrue that I wonder if it's worth pointing out the obvious. In fact, black-skinned Americans rarely have had the option of self-determination, and mostly that is due to white-skinned contemporaries who enslaved them, forced them into ghettos, segregated them in public life, and denied them political rights, and social and economic opportunity.

More concretely, in the southeastern United States, blacks were slaves (something local whites fought a war to try to preserve; take a step back and think how bizarre that is) and after that oppressed: They couldn't eat in the same restaurants, go to the same schools work the same jobs, live in the same neighborhoods, sleep at the same hotels; talking to a white-skinned women could result in a black-skinned male being lynched. Even today, there is much discrimination; consider whether they can join certain college fraternities in Oklahoma, for example, or walk the streets without being harassed or worse.

To suggest social segregation is due to the choices of black-skinned Americans is absurd.
>The Asian women fetish is quite unique in that there's really nothing else like it for women of another race present in American culture

I wouldn't say it's a fetish for Asian girls(physical traits and sexuality). What attracts many white males is the fact many Asian women are usually more mature, intelligent and feminine than others.

Is it slavery if people are working for almost free in prison because of some absurd crime and a bullshit justice system? Yes.

Therefore slavery still exists. It just got sneaky.

Well sort of sneaky - the English were calling their white slaves convicts. When people did crimes like steal bread, they could be sent all the way across the oceans on six month voyages to work. Yeah, they could eventually be free... but even if they managed that; then getting back was near impossible for most.

because it isn't obviously racist. you can't just say "more african americans and hispanics are arrested than whites or asians, therefore, police are targeting african americans and hispanics unfairly." that's not how it works.

wrt. drug-related crimes, sure, there seems to be a weird disparity (does it take into account 'casual' drug users vs. 'hardcore' drug users?).

wrt. violent crime, however, the percent of arrestees who are black matches very closely with the percent of victims who say their assailant was black. and this has been constant throughout thirty years of crime victimization surveys. see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_crime_in_the_United_St... and https://www.ncjrs.gov/App/Publications/abstract.aspx?ID=2560...

you can't say that african americans are arrested at unfair rates. it's more nuanced than that: african americans are probably arrested unfairly for drug-related crimes, but they probably aren't for violent crimes.

unfortunately, I think this is a compounding problem: more african american men in prison means more single-parent households (that are probably also in poverty), which means more crime, which means more african american men in prison.
There's a long history of wars ostensibly being fought on behalf of women, and women pressuring men into enlisting. One example is the Order of the White Feather. During WW1 and WW2, women would shame men who weren't wearing a uniform by presenting them with a white feather, a symbol of cowardice. Propaganda frequently justifies the need for war by claiming that it is about defending women, and nations are often personified as women, e.g. Liberty, Columbia, Lady Britannia, etc.
You're tying quality with being long-lasting, but is that really true? I know code that's running for over 30 years, and it's terrible. It's running because it's terrible, because nobody dare approach it and risk it breaking, because it's a flimsy column supporting the roof, and you fear it might collapse.
And they both need external antennas. The FM radios usually use the headphone wires as an antenna, but the TVs I've seen have long retractable antennas.
You can't take a single person as proof or disproof of anything (except maybe absolute statements, which the OP didn't make).
I've seen a lot of pieces lately, talking about the career of a programmer, or the state of the tech industry or what have you, written with rather a lack of perspective. Sorry, but even the work of those who are deeply fulfilled by it will not last as long as a Kafka novel. It's simply not possible, or else we would be drowning in the past. Even for writers, even for whatever occupation you think noblest. The blowing away of the past is what gives us a chance to build, and the blowing away of all we have is what will give that chance to future generations. I believe someone may have written a song about this at some point.

Of course, just because something's not going to happen doesn't mean we shouldn't strive for it anyway. But I am unsure that posting less frequently on Github will get the author any closer to that achievement. To me this attitude of needing one's work to survive signals an uneasiness with death that will permeate the rest of one's life, but then that would be quite a leap to make on the basis of a blog post.

While reading your original post and before I got to the part about bitcoin I was thinking bitcoin might be a good way to respond to the problems of greed and corruption you point out.

Consumption of others output is not an intrinsically bad thing. It is balancing it with creation that matters. Very similarly to the academics closed door, if You create without ever consuming you may be productive but eventually will be working on the wrong problem.
That's basically the same reasoning used by most GPU manufacturers, but two of the biggest players in that market have chosen not to act that way and don't seem to be suffering at all for it.

I suppose what I'm trying to say is that the problem was obvious, the solution was obvious and whether that was the right solution to the problem could be discussed but did not require that level of decorum and could have been handled without engineers' constant involvement.
That's a superb point. I was assuming this would be Debian netinst size (222MB) and wouldn't have known otherwise if it wasn't for your comment.

Makes me wonder how minimal it really is. :-)
Yes, but you can say the same thing for 2 year olds or 22 year olds. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/03/080324173552.ht... The 1.05:1 ratio applies at birth, and men steadily die faster after that.

That said, in devoloped nations like the US few infants die so the difference is not that large.

Edit: see page 7 http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr62/nvsr62_07.pdf
Per 100,000 births of each gender, 99,301 men see 1, vs 99,427 females a gap of 127. By 30 the gap is 1,148 (97,400 vs 98,548)

At 75 it's 62,720:74,464 a gap of -11,744 which is even larger when you consider the population is ~2/3 the size.

And at 100 the absolute gap is only 1,900 (997 : 2897) but there are ~3x as many woman as men.

> 1. Download deb package.

> 2. Locate downloaded deb package.

> 3. Install deb package.

> 4. Update package lists.

> 5. Install actual, desired package.

Well, it's been a while since I wrote my proof-of-concept, but I managed to get the steps down to:

1. "Open with gDebi"

2. Install package

3. Install "actual, desired package"

The package list can be refreshed automatically using "postpone" (which was new to Debian at the time, but is pretty widespread now).

Also, the "service pack" idea is even more powerful. The package contains the repo, along with a metapackage depending on the "actual, desired package(s)" for which the repo was generated. The repo is unpacked to disk, added to sources.list.d, then the metapackage is installed.

The original idea was to package the closure of a bunch of packages; eg. we can say "include 'gimp', 'inkscape' and 'blender', but not 'ubuntu-desktop'"; that would generate a repo containing gimp, inkscape, blender and all of their dependencies, except for those implied by the existence of ubuntu-desktop. This repo would be packaged up, along with a metapackage depending on gimp, inkscape, blender and ubuntu-desktop. I also made an option to package up security updates.

A nice consequence is the ability to distribute all of the dependencies of a package, but they'll only be used as fallbacks; if newer versions are available, they'll be used instead.

Of course, updates can free up disk space as the need for fallbacks diminishes.
I've had similar needs but couldn't find an existing tool, nor a parser on which to build. There are some open source parsers [0], but they don't seem to do preprocessing and hence lose a lot of context.

So I made a parser that might work for your use-case given some work:

https://github.com/svstuff/systemverilog

It works for some fairly big codebases, so I know it's not completely broken. I'm not very proud of the scala code, it's quite ugly in places. But at least there are some tests :p

[0]: this also seems active worth checking out: https://github.com/gburdell/parser

EDIT: added link to other parser.
You're a Cultural Marxism peddler.

I am white and I think I am in the very same group as blacks and all other races, namely the group called "individuals". All we need to do is fight for individual rights and teach people respect is earned on an individual basis. Nothing can be assumed from group membership in real life; every leftist would agree with this statement, yet you want to make laws based on group membership. Nothing can be assumed based on group membership. Whoever does is the true racist. Stop peddling your divisive ideologies. Stop drawing lines around people. We drew lines around places in maps and today we have wars over those lines. Your lines around people create the same kind of conflicts on a smaller scale. Please stop it. There's only one kind of person, the individual. Let's protect individual rights and everyone will be OK, and by that I mean everyone, not just the groups your crony leftists select to be privileged to the detriment of some other group's disadvantage.

You can try and create "race", "religion", "gender" labels all you want but to me there's only one sort of person, the individual, and nothing can be said about an individual a priori.

Stop propagating divisiveness.

OP here

This is a severe problem that saddens me greatly. For now I am just writing tools to make JTAG/SPI/etc loading of chips Ubiquitous to the developer writing software/netlists for them.
I do not know enough about the place and route math and routines, nor have I seen enough details of real life chips to know the types of real challenges faced. But I will cross that bridge when I get there (maybe it will be someone else :)).

I personally have a huge issue letting anything fundamental I figure out be marked down as the property of a company to have and hold for 20+ years. But I understand the financial rewards and interesting problems are more than enough for many people, so I can not hold it against a student with a PHD worth of debt to need cash. Sigh.

Hopefully if a good enough extensible base exists, people will add pieces on (whatever they can get away with) over a long time. That is all I can really hope for.

Aren't setcc/cmov* instructions effectively similar to a branch? To compute the result you need to execute the previous instruction.

I suppose that these instructions do not cause the instruction pipeline to be flushed, compared to an incorrectly predicted jump, but they still stall until the previous instruction has been executed.
