The thought of porting a decades old, 50 million line code base from windows to Unix, one that was deemed too complex to retrofit 64 bit support, makes me put my own insignificant development hassles of the past few days in perspective.

No matter how bad it seems, at least I'm not on that team.
It sounds like the interviewer didn't care much about the interview, and conducted it while driving so that he didn't waste time out of some other part of the day.

(Of course, this is pure speculation based on a third-hand one-sided account.)

If so, it has nothing to do with discrimination.

Nope.

Legally (in countries I know about, Europe mostly), the liability is with the bank. They might ask if you gave your PIN to anyone else (you should not do this!) but there's no consumer liability.

The liability shift with Chip & PIN is from the bank to the merchant. If the merchant accepts an old-fashioned stripe transaction they accept the risk for themselves.
Cost. Cost is the biggest issue with post-grant proceedings. I don't know how many times I've seen people that have air-tight cases but they, understandably, won't, or can't, pay hundreds of thousands of dollars (filing fees and attorney's fees) to pull the trigger. The cost for these things is truly astronomical compared to quite literally every other aspect of the patent office. Even more astounding is that there is no reduction in fees for entity size (like almost every other fee). So a solo inventor and a Fortune 500 company pay exactly the same amount in filing fees, which is absurd and makes zero sense (even the older, reexamination route has fees based on entity size. e.g., large companies pay 12k, while "micro entities" pay 3k). I'm hoping, but not holding my breath, that eventually the fee structure will change; but given the popularity of post-grant proceedings, I can't imagine the PTO pulling the plug on a solid money maker for them. Here's a quick scatter plot of fees for micro entities, try and guess which are post-grant filing fees: http://i.imgur.com/F1Q2E1l.png

I find that with well-maintained bicycles as well. Lots of people take pride in making sure nothing on their bike makes any noise at all (a topic that comes up often on the biking subreddit), and then they ride at 25mph down a bike path shared by people walking or biking significantly slower.

I'd almost rather be hit by a modern car than by a bicycle. At least the car is designed to crumple and protect the pedestrian, bikes aren't designed to protect anyone, yet they go just as fast as other city traffic.

He Things I Wish I Knew Before Becoming a Chef
A friend went through a Google phone screen at a satellite campus two or three years ago. The interviewer asked him to solve a simple problem first, which my friend answered. The interviewer followed up with a tougher problem, and before my friend could think for a minute about questions to ask the interviewer, he was told that the interviewer would be leaving to go to the restroom. The interviewer set the phone down.

Twenty minutes later, he returned and asked for a solution, which my friend didn't have. The interviewer ended the call and my friend was turned down. He raised his objections to the process to his recruiter, who apologized and agreed to send him a Google branded mug and T-shirt for his troubles (what a joke). He still hasn't received them.

Completely agreed about quality. Popularity is highly correlated to actual utility though.

Lisp falls into the same category. High quality and very interesting but it will never, ever gain widespread use. Don't believe me? A half century of proof exists. Haskell is already at a quarter century.

Both are very cool and everyone should learn them to some degree because they will make you a better programmer but neither will ever be used widely. They just aren't appropriate for most general purpose programming tasks.

Ask HN: How do you find mentors?
I'm in a startup in constant change (growth I guess), and my responsibilities keep changing and evolving. I love this.

To adapt and continue to deliver, my strategy has always been the same. Read, try, fail, read, try, succeed, read... ad nauseam.

And it worked pretty well for me, as I keep delivering.

This time I decided to change my strategy a little and experiment something I keep hearing around me.

I want a mentor. Someone I think I can respect enough to take advices from and move faster. Someone who either is doing or did long enough what I need to do right now.

How do you find mentors? In and out the organisation?
How would you make money with this?
Is it really that bad?

It's understandable if people find it ridiculous to read their code line by line but it's not at all clear from the article this is what was being asked as opposed to asking about the general approach to the problem. I feel like if the person's English was not that good, one thing that the interviewer might have wanted to know was whether the person could communicate effectively with coworkers.

Indeed, the article even says that the interviewer could not understand what was being read. For someone so senior, it's likely that he would have had to mentor junior developers. Seems like it would be a bad experience if they were unable to understand him and vice versa.
They shift the burden of proof to the consumer, but fraud is still covered in some cases. You're probably not covered if you give the pin to someone or if you transfer the money yourself. There are many cases of people losing tens of thousands of pounds this way.

It's in JavaScript, but if that works for you, clone it down and work through the instructions until it isn't broken. He created it as part of a lecture at Hack Reactor called "A Conjurer's Guide to Machine Learning," so it's a great way to get started without going too deep into the details.

No. The debugging time, refactor/rewrite time of writing in scripting languages is substantially longer, harder work, and distinctly unpleasant compared to just thinking and using good tools to do it right in Haskell.

In Haskell, I'll often have a problem and just stare at my laptop and think for an hour. Then write a dozen lines of simple, straightforward code. The code is easy to test, and the problem is marked as "solved" instead of "seems to work" as happens in scripting languages.

> in canada it is unusual to see cars with more than 300,000 km on them

That's largely because of the need to salt roads in the canadian winters - yearly, excessive exposure to salt water drastically limits the possible lifetime of a car. The further away from cold weather requiring salted roadways you get, the longer cars last.

> If you could somehow disable all logic from executing in your OS native apps, would you do this by default?

I've certainly recompiled native applications to throw out 'features' I don't want, but my "default" is to just not install such programs to begin with. Especially these days, since I tend to use minimalist "do one job" programs, rather than giant "desktop environment" stuff like Gnome/KDE. That applies to my phone too, since it runs a stripped-down install of Debian.

We are working on block device backends which integrate Flocker with OpenStack, EBS and more, as well as ZFS on local storage.

Doing a tarball based export-import backend would be an interesting Flocker backend ;)

With regards large volumes, adding more backends to Flocker will definitely open up the scope for volumes then a ZFS pool (zpool) you'd want to have on a single node. Generally though, when you need to scale data up to larger scales, it's better to use a distributed data store which can shard your data across a larger number of smaller stateful containers, which can also be managed by Flocker, but of course that's application-dependent.

Severity of the injury does not change my evaluation of the matter seeing as how it was entirely self inflicted.

It sucks, hard, that this lady had to spend the last few years of her life in that kind of pain (skin grafts are no joke), but the idea that it's McD's fault is nuts.
While true, that's irrelevant to my point. The same thing occurs with this:

IE was able to use whatever was installed on Windows, basically from the very beginning, but VBScript was the only one that was commonly used (though I think there was even a version of Lisp that worked). Mozilla (back before there was Firefox) had limited support for VBScript because of this. I remember being terrified in 1998 that there was a good chance VBScript would take off. I think I even had to make a site in VBScript to satisfy a client as late as 2006 or 2007.

Later versions of IE were able to run .NET code, which was what SilverLight was all about.

So imagine that, it was basically just MS leading the charge, which is probably why we only have JavaScript now.

Sweet tactics, very useful, but I disagree completely with the headline for one reason: growth is necessary for success, but not sufficient. Growth doesn't happen without something really great. You can optimize growth techniques in the ways described above when you've iterated on your product enough to already be facing diminishing returns from pure feature-building. Or shit, maybe sooner.

I think of time spent on product as establishing the curve you'll follow: if you're building intelligently, it makes the company and the product more valuable to do more product-building. But time spent on growth can only move you along the curve faster.
In theory technology costs should drive others down, no? But that's more true in the corporate world than non-profit or government which the universities resemble.

I agree on tenure costs. It seems like they're really bloating the system in the name of academic freedom. I get it at the large research universities where the professors bring in lots of research money, but is it really worth it elsewhere? People say it's a bulwark against poor administrators making short term decisions, but that's what the rest of the world has to deal with too.

Perhaps just timeboxing the tenure part would work. "The department has X tenured slots. After 65, you can stay on as an untenured professor emeritus at a lower salary."
> Presumably ... there is some sort of encryption going on.

Color me skeptical. I would presume similarly, but I also would have presumed that they did not have the same password, either. A failure of that scope seems like it could be indicative of a systemic disregard for security.
Different languages lead to different exploratory behaviors.

Haskell makes it very safe to change your code, but it adds some initial costs. Scripting languages make it very unsafe to change the code, unless you spend a lot of time writing tests, but then they stop being fast to iterate.
I'll just add that starting in October, the merchants will be liable for magstripe transactions completed with counterfeit cards but not for those coming from other type of frauds (e.g lost/stolen cards) as long as the merchants have proper card acceptance procedures.

If you're referring to that interview then keep in mind that it was just a crappy "journalist" trying to make a show out of what was supposed to be an interview on a topic completely not related to Monsanto.

Apparently he succeeded. I guess it's a lesson in designing propaganda - be an asshole, people will believe you.

Also, I'm not particularly convinced that the insane amount of stuff farmers dump on their crops is really better than replacing all of it with just one pesticide.
I would find it relevant since insider trading laws are intended to catch individuals with access to nonpublic information about a company and that then uses that information in a unfair way on the stock market.

Even in countries that don't use civil law, intentions should still be relevant in discussing the law or its enforcement.

Poor wording on my part - I wasn't putting in a value judgment.

By positive synergy I mean on the revenue side. "They have A sales people selling B per year on product set C. We have D sales people selling E per year on product set F. If we allow their salespeople to sell F and ours to sell C, our revenues will grow from A * B and D * E to A * (B + E) and D * (B + E)."

That's a long way of saying revenue promises rarely materialize, but cost ones usually do.
>> A failure of that scope seems like it could be indicative of a systemic disregard for security.

Well, all the security systems have to be audited and signed-off by third-party testing labs approved by the payment card industry body (PCI) so your cynicism should be unwarranted.

But then I've seen code that got through those labs that I would be thoroughly ashamed of, so who knows really...

Applying the principles of comparative negligence, the jury found that McDonald's was 80% responsible for the incident and Liebeck was 20% at fault.

The principle at work is by selling something vastly more dangerous they were responsible for the extra damage due to increased temperature. In other words at a normal serving temperature she would have suffered but not nearly that much.

PS: The same thing applies in cases like a defective airbag. Yes, the manufacture is not responsible for causing the accident, but they are responsible for increase in damage due to a defect. Or more broadly MD was not responsible for that specific accident, but they know in general terms there would be accidents and they would be making those accidents worse.
