As someone who does a lot of hiring, I wish more engineers would do what he suggested.

When interviewing candidates, it can be too easy to adjust your expectations downward after interviewing many unqualified candidates. My hunch is that so many candidates are unqualified because the ones that are actively looking for a job are predominantly the ones that aren't in demand an interview everywhere. If I can mix in qualified candidates that aren't really looking, I can better calibrate my assessment of the market for talent. Plus, with hiring being as difficult as it is, I'll spend the time interviewing to get an opportunity to sell my position and my company to a candidate, whether interested or not. It only takes changing the mind of one excellent developer to make it worthwhile for me.

Additionally, networking is everything. Leaving candidates with a positive impression of my company, my team and myself is worth something, even if they don't join. Whenever I extend an offer, I also offer to connect on LinkedIn with the basic message, "I'd like to work together now, but I understand that's not always possible. Even if you take another position or stay at your current job, please feel free to check back in the future or refer any friends who are looking." Most don't accept, but some do. Even if it doesn't help me hire for my open position, there's value in having a network of people who all think they've got it better than I could offer. Whenever I'm searching for a job, my first stop is looking at the current employers of the developers I respect most from my network. Those employers are likely to be doing something exciting and I've got an in to pass my résumé along if I want to apply, even if my relationship with that "in" was only a single interview process.

> Some of them will choose to pursue great ideas and ideals, set up huge disruptive businesses where they generate billions of dollars in true value for society

I think the verdict is still out on whether or not someone's great idea + my data is good for me or not. I'm leaning with it's not.
Even if you get "blackballed" in your city (which seems unlikely) that doesn't stop you from finding a remote position with a firm in another city.

I've noticed a trend over the decades (yep, decades) where people and corporations are moving away from subjective evaluations to safe, who-could-argue-with-that objective evaluations.

If someone doesn't know how to evaluate a candidate, or doesn't feel safe or comfortable, well ... nobody gets fired for asking about algorithms.

I appreciate the charity, but I think we do actually have a disagreement.

Let's go too far, and define "agility" to be "things that make me faster in the first 5 minutes working on a problem."

I am saying that when I am writing Python in that context, Haskell's type system is something I find conspicuously missing.
Listen man. There is a certain power in walking away. Don't give that away. Think about your power for a minute. How much power would it be to hand in a written letter CLEARLY outlining the issue described using MINIMAL WORDS? Somebody would have to look at the situation in detail and if you really deserved to be commended for your honesty then it would come out.

The tables would be completely turned.

1. You would have officially quit. HUGE WIN
2. You would have an opportunity for others to see your side of the story FIRST
3. You may have some chance of coming out on top and even staying with the firm if your letter was written with "much regret" that you absolutely have no other choice because of the hostility and actions of retaliation etc.
4. You can take that letter to the next employer and say I stand behind my actions in a tough situation.

Stay with your power man. You don't want to risk carry around the victim chip forever more you will either be telling this story as a sore loser or as a man with a power and sense of right that can never be taken from you by a "superior".

Bottom line it's victim vs empowerment perspective. In your question post (no offense) you sound like a victim of some one else's actions against you. Really it's just one perspective. Assume the self empowered perspective and they will have no choice but to recognize. Tell the story of how you don't take BS you throw it in the trash.

Fuk you, fuk you, your cool, fu*k you im out.

[EDIT] P.S.
If you really want to step it up and become movie ending cool. You get that letter done up and you walk in with it. You show the envelope to the bad boss and you say in a private way to only him "I am handing this in to watch you suck tomorrows dick".

Compiler, interpreter or an assembler is basically a translator. It doesn't have to think, it is simple computation following a set of rules, of course a computer would win in that case.

But can a computer write code from scratch as good as a human? No(t yet).

First, 'pollyanna advice' is unnecessarily harsh. Even saying 'overly optimistic' would be a huge improvement...

Second, yes there are ways that someone could keep another from getting hired, but they are supremely (as in multi-million dollar lawsuit) risky. When it comes to the back channel, it is important to remember that everybody talks all the time and favours never come free.
Do you want to suck on your mammys tits too? First of all if this is a case where you can't get another job and need unemployment then it's a different story - for example probably need to be fired. Second if your going to sue them then it's again more hardcore. Otherwise man up and quit. People are so afraid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZ8oIsVDoa0
> I also think your attitude is disrespectful and shows such a contempt for the place where you're working, such an extreme lack of even the remotest sense of loyalty, that I wouldn't want to employ someone with your attitude ever.

There is no reciprocal loyalty from a corporation anywhere, ever. Corporations are amoral. You will be jettisoned without remorse at the first hint of necessity, and not even necessarily at all connected with your performance or loyalty.

No one looks out for you except you. Companies do interview without a specific position open. No reason why individuals shouldn't do the same.

Time-warp me back to some gold-lit age of caring and loyalty, and maybe I'll feel different.

Disbelief

We were woken up by a phone call in the middle of the night. Nepal had just gotten hit by a 7.9 magnitude earthquake!! We couldn’t believe it.

Fear

Our thoughts immediately jumped to our families’ wellbeing. We tried contacting them but couldn’t get through. You tell your mind not to think about the worst, but you can’t help yourself. You try to stay strong, for yourself and for those around you.

Sadness

We turned on our computers, and see the devastation engulf the country. Death and destruction all over the news. Buildings, Temples, Historical Landmarks – major portions of our country’s history, culture and tradition – wiped out!

Relief

Frantic phone calls followed, and after an hour, we were able to establish that our families were safe.

Helplessness

You hear the fear in their voices, and feel helpless. You want to be there for them, but there is nothing you can do. You can only listen as your parents, siblings, uncles, aunts, grandparents recount firsthand experiences as butterflies form in the pit of your stomach –

•	The ground beneath them is shaking violently, throwing them from wall to wall as they try to scramble outside to safety

•	The walls of our house collapsing right before their eyes

•	They cannot go back in because tremors and aftershocks continue to ripple for hours

•	They sleep in their cars, only to be woken up by another tremor

•	They are paralyzed in fear

Courage + Action

We consider ourselves extremely lucky that even though some of our family members suffered minor injuries, everyone is okay. But there are countless others that weren’t as fortunate. Hospitals kicking out existing patients to treat critical victims. We feel very strongly, and very deeply for our country, and are determined to take action.

We spent the entire day researching the best options for collecting donations, and reaching out to our networks in Nepal to identify the best way to disburse funds to places in most need.

We are reaching out to our networks here in the US for any help we can get. The road to recovery is going to be long and painful.

We need you. Nepal needs you!!

The point is that any time you see a trading tool being offered publicly you can reasonably assume that it's actual usefulness is pretty limited, at least by itself. Otherwise, they'd be using it internally to trade and make more money.
That's why I'm not saying it's "wrong" but it also is no longer making a bet on randomness.
What fascinates me is how close this synthetic filesystem is to making REST calls with a small client library. All your application needs to know is the path to call and what HTTP verb to use. Even the way the author introduces versioning sounds familiar: using a versioning file is similar to having a version at the beginning of your URL.

I appreciate how good architectures all resemble each other at some point, with only the transport layers differing between applications.
Great perspective and a fair point. Thanks for the feedback.

I recall that just before I published the site, I decided to change the CTA from the boring placeholder I had to something more playful and human. It was the first thing that came to mind It just seemed like a fun idea. It worked so I kept it.

Reading your comment, I'm tempted to try something more conventional but it's too easy to be skewed by responding to a single data point. It's edgy so it's bound to be polarising (I've also received positive feedback on the very same text).

I might run a split-test to get some data on it.
I used Slackware, Gentoo and Arch for ten years but in the end I'm on Ubuntu. I liked feeling in control on those systems and it was great to have everything available immediately on Portage or AUR, but after a while I just got tired of having to read a wiki page for doing something as simple as setting up Bluetooth and ending up with a less convenient end result. I find there's almost always a PPA for an obscure package I need, so I found Ubuntu pretty convenient for actually getting stuff done.
I'm afraid that VFS-based APIs will be even more fragile as the life cycle goes, and even harder to reason about.

I'd call the Arch wiki comprehensive, but not cohesive. A prerequisite for cohesive documentation is that the system it's documenting is cohesive. The BSDs, as you noted, have cohesiveness down to a science, and their documentation reflects that.

Take as an example the network configuration for FreeBSD [1] and Arch [2]. FreeBSD, because it's a cohesive system, is able to document the One Correct Way of configuring the network.

The Arch instructions are much more "choose your own adventure", but that reflects the array of actual choices that you have in Linux for network config. Should you use systemd-networkd, dhcpcd, netctl, ifplugd, etc? Or maybe some combination? If you need wireless networking [3] which connection manager do you want to use? How is it going to interact with the thing managing your wired networking?

Linux, for better or worse, gives you a very fragmented set of options compared to more cohesive systems like the BSDs. The Arch wiki does a good job of documenting those fragmented options.

You might have missed: "scoring of accounts based on some sort of activity profile."

Fake accounts are almost certainly going to have characteristics which distinguish them from legitimate ones, and likely a quantitative, manual, or combined assessment might determine that. Points to consider:

⚫ Photo images. Search for duplicates or analyze for manipulation.

⚫ Correlation with other data sources. Real names, Social Security, marketing, and numerous databases exist which tend to point to more legitimate profiles.

⚫ Direct contact. Set up events, meet-ups, special purchase offers, etc., or otherwise try to elicit direct action. Even statistically differential response rates are useful.

⚫ Social graph. Real people _interact_ with other real people, and there's a web of trust or certification which can be imputed or determined.

⚫ Network profiles. Identifying large numbers of accounts with similar or suspicious profiles _and_ originating from the same or adjacent network addresses (CIDR/BGP block), or from known nonresidential space that's _not_ a generally-used proxy, would be a strong indicator. If proxy use continues to climb, that's going to be less useful (and I suspect this will be the case).

Tests along these or similar lines could be used to generate more general scoring algorithms for identifying suspect accounts.
This is tragic news.

I think ArchBang tries to do that. It might be a nice in-between for a new arch user's first time.
Then again, I think I had a set of other problems when I tried it.
I have spent a decent amount of time trying to understand all the steps of the process just so that I can troubleshoot without immediately needing to access the arch-wiki. The knowledge is nice to have, and building familiarity with the system one uses should never be seen as wasted time :)
A Look Inside: Conversations with Baidu Research
A trick someone taught me to get into a lucid dream state is to 'touch your nose' while in a dream. The action itself is symbolic, so basically any simple command you can remember to do will open up your ability to consciously control your dream.

If you get into the habit of keeping track of your dreams by doing something like keeping a dream journal, sooner or later you'll be able to remember to 'touch your nose' and lucid-dream at will.

I enjoyed experimenting with it for a while several years ago; it can be pretty exhilarating. But ultimately I found I wasn't feeling rested after a night of living a dream life (oddly enough) so I discontinued the practice.
1. You do not know what the function looks like, even there is no gradient information

2. You have a fixed number of probes M

2. Among M, You have N number probes to get the silhouette of the function (exploration).

3. Then from the rest of the (M - N) trials, you need to find the optima (exploiation).

Sounds more like a pseudo-science than a math problem to me.

I remember finding an Exxon branded office machine at a swap meet and thinking "really?". So I guess we give Exxon a hat tip to know this was going to be very large industry, but a poor mark for not being able to effectively implement that vision. I wasn't a big fan of the Z8000 but the data sheets for the Z280 had me thinking it would be an excellent basis for a 16 bit machine. Too bad it took way too long to come out.
Suppose again the blinds are $1-$2 and the stack is $10000.

I can bet $2, $4, $6, $8, $10, $12, $14, any amount up to $10000. Each of those is now a separate game tree. A couple of bets, and now we're way past 10^161.

It may never be optimal for me to bet $132, but a perfect computer player should be prepared for that bet.
You're being extremely reductive here, frankly to a dishonest degree. For regional and national transportation networks, freeways are necessary. Freeways are unnecessary in the city center and do not belong there, just like international airports don't belong in the city center. New York City and San Francisco are completely bypassed by the major interstate freeways, and they are more livable and desirable for that very reason. By way of contrast, Seattle suffers from the presence of I-5 throughout the city center, or the I-5/I-90 interchange in the city center.
