Thrust CUDA calls are synchronous to each other. You can add an explicit synchronization call cudaDeviceSynchronize() and there won't be a difference in results.
It depends how good he is... At a top company, a top "coding" engineer can make a lot of money. But, many people who are not even close to "top" think they are in fact, "top".
I don't think it's a problem with the whiteboard specifically or even public speaking. It's a unique situation where you're trying to solve a problem, while simultaneously explaining it to a person you've never met before, who happens to already know the answer.

Explaining something on a whiteboard to a group of co-workers is an entirely different skill.

> Fuck spending a day working on some throw away work and not get the job.

You can easily make a shorter take home project. You're already going to have to spend a day on interviews. Why not spend half a day on interviews, and half a day at home on a take home project?
Telnet is on by default. It is a busybox shell. This device is normally connected to a network via wifi. There is an additional Ethernet port on the back. It is safe to say every patient using one of these has physical access. The wireless encryption keys are stored in plain text.

Good manners, a soft tone and respect for other people is what most police officers are sorely missing.

A hostile attitude often escalates situations which could have been completely prevented or resolved differently. Unsurprisingly, treating people with complete disrespect often elicits a fight response.

What police departments really need more than anything else are strong "don't be a dick" policies that are rigorously enforced. Along with more "how not to be a dick" training seminars. One can be firm and even shoot someone when needed all without being one. Let the dicks go be mall cops. The guys with real guns should have above average patience and compassion. We should demand this and we should be willing to pay for it.
If some one would explain the down-voting to me, I'd love to understand... honestly

1. My question was unrelated to the poor decision the OPs former employer made to use telnet.

2. Formal verification the the gold standard in correctness often used for can't fail things like missiles and satellites.
It's made worse by the fact that such information is getting increasingly difficult to find when someone actually does want to figure out the "why". Maybe it's just me, but I've found Google's search results to be much worse now than they used to be in terms of detail and specificity, for the same queries.
The visa rules are pretty strict in China about having skills & qualifications. I only have anecdotal evidence, but the Africans in China that I have met are ambitious and educated. Either they're qualified professionals (okay, that may just mean a bachelor's & ability to speak English, which is as much as you can say about many Americans here) or they are students here to study.
If you are learning a Lisp for the first time, you should stick with something established that has good resources for learning available. Scheme is a good choice to start with, and eventually you will want to learn either Common Lisp or Clojure.

Huh, thanks! A bit more expensive than a bottom-end TV still, but worth checking on when I replace mine! Since all I use it for is a Roku and occasionally as a screen for my PC, I'd be happy to do away with all the extraneous stuff like a giant remote and all the TV channel related buttons.
Ive noticed almost all sushi places, ramen places, teppenyaki places, etc in San Jose area are primarily owned by Korean businessmen and women (used to work at a few of them back in the day and can confirm at least part of that)
The people doing it 16 hours a day aren't killing themselves though, they do it because they love it (some of them obviously). In fact they would be killing themselves to not be thinking about programming 16 hours a day.
Yeah, Cali has oranges and berries and whatnot. Good luck trying to get those to grow in Mn year round without a diesel heater.
>If you give developers carte blanche permission to add whatever they feel is necessary, you're using your business success/failure to teach them. That is wrong.

you'll have to explain here, because it seems to me that under a legal regime, a prostitute making a clear decision to sell sex is no more a victim than the owner of a convenience store deciding to sell slurpees.
I get why you're concerned, but I wouldn't dismiss them so quickly until we've heard all the details. They seem like a talented team, and I assume they've anticipated the possibility of social engineering.

Here's a snippet from the FAQ on their website: "During first time setup for the device, you can choose where you want your recovery key stored. The default option is to store it in a secure vault operated by Third Key Solutions. If you wish to store your own third key, you will be prompted during the setup flow to scan the public key of your recovery private key. Please note that you will be responsible for signing a transaction with this private key if your device is lost or stolen, and we recommend this only as an advanced option for expert users." [1]

It might be interesting to some people that the "peculiarity" noted in some web servers is actually requested by the standard. It is noted in both the grammar and in the text (where it is described as for "future compatibility").

> cookie = "Cookie:" cookie-version 1*((";" | ",") cookie-value)

> Note: For backward compatibility, the separator in the Cookie header is semi-colon (;) everywhere. A server should also accept comma (,) as the separator between cookie-values for future compatibility.

https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2109.txt

(I believe part of the issue was that MIME of headers describes how to deal with multiple headers with the same name, which is by concatenating them with commas, and that spec was the basis for the definition of HTTP headers.)
(afl-fuzz author here)

The basic idea for AFL is that it's supposed to be reliably better than dumb fuzzers without requiring you to think too much about the problem space, fuzzing settings, grammar definitions, harness design, etc.

Anything that makes it retain these properties while improving results is probably worth pursuing. Conversely, anything that sounds cool but ultimately doesn't meet that criteria is probably a better fit for other tools.
"Sometimes I wonder how many things could have gone differently."

I'm a firm believer that awesome always finds a way, but I love these stories of seemingly small decisions ("I could’ve spent the $500 on something other than a Rift. I could’ve stayed in bed") being major turning points in someone's life.

For me, a pivotal moment was Stanley Kubrick's removal of A Clockwork Orange from circulation in the 1970s, and its subsequent posthumous re-release in 2000. My university cinema had a showing one night; this gave me time to kill on campus after the library closed; during which time I saw a job-board ad for work in a real estate firm.

The job led to a management position post-graduation, which turned into State Operations Manager for a large franchise group, which turned into the business coaching career I've had for almost a decade.

If Kubrick hadn't pulled the film? If he had died a year earlier? Maybe I would have leveraged my journalism degree into that profession instead? From little things, big things grow...
If you don't see the difference between the bare metal assembly of the late 70's and a modern compiled OO language, I doubt we could even have a meaningful conversation.
Really?

I've had the GA domains redirected to 0.0.0.0 via HOSTS file for... ever since GA started to exist, and I haven't seen any specific messages to that effect. It'd make sense that some would use JS to detect this, but I have that disabled by default.

Maybe it's because I see a lot of other "broken" sites in my daily browsing due to that, and I don't really need to find out why - if a site isn't giving the info I need, I go back to the search results and to the next one.
Why on earth would such device even require network connectivity?

Convenience features sell. It looks like these devices might just push down delivery limits over the network, but the connectivity of medical devices is in the process of exploding. The market forces for software in general don't magically not apply to medical software/devices.

Of all the software out there that sends telemetry back to base, medical devices are probably one of the easiest to justify and least morally dubious types of user monitoring around.
Stop writing filler text.
Check out Chester Simpson's work from Natl Semiconductor. I don't have a DOI available for you unfortunately, but Simpson is a great starting point.
Agreed, this is what some of the new startups that make something "secure" soo often overlook. They make put UX (if you can call it that), over real security. It's still possible to deliver a great user experience and backup solutions without compromising security, it's just not easy.

Companies that do succeed at this however should all receive an award for it, or at least be listed somewhere, because it's a really hard problem to solve at times.

I think in certain aspects Apple got this sort of stuff right with the iPhone, but I'm not sure about that, at least I hope iOS is as restrictive as it is for a reason.
The greatest argument against democracy. A five minute conversation with an average voter.
I disagree -- hiring a minority employee almost always means hiring a person who is qualified to do a job and who will work hard for a salary (sounds like hiring a non-minority).

This is hiring a model temporarily. Anywhere in the world, hiring a model is explicitly hiring more for appearance and less for skills.
It is a really common thing for people to erroneously close void elements[0] that aren't supposed to have closing tags, or to give them contents when they can't have any. For example:

<p> some paragraph </p>
<br></br>
<p> a second paragraph </p>

or:

<p> some first paragraph </p>
<br><p> a second paragraph </p></br>
<p> a third thing </p>

Neither of those are valid, and the last one is interpreted as:

<p> some first paragraph </p>
<br>
<p> a second paragraph </p>
<br>
<p> a third thing </p>

New users find behavior like this confusing all the time.

If that decision was made by more than just some obscure team buried deep within Google's hierarchy, then why didn't Google start sponsoring the Groovy manager and 2 developers when their funding was axed by Pivotal 2 months ago?
I haven't used it in ~5 years, but Sphinx (http://sphinxsearch.com) might be a reasonable competitor. Back then it was pretty pleasant to use...especially it's indexing abilities, which were significantly faster than ES. I can't speak to it's distributed ability since our index was never that large, but the documentation purports to have that capability.

Sphinx has some curious features, like being able to run as a MySQL storage engine (no doubt the result of the author being ex-MySQL), but it's also got most of the features that you come to expect in search engine, so I think it's fair to call it a competitor. That said, we still use ES.
At the Kennedy Space Center, NASA had an interesting abort procedure for astronauts still on the ground at the launch site: an underground Rubber Room which astronauts could slide down into.

Senior Web Developer | New York

Looking for a proficient and experienced web developer for a dynamic no-code environment in the knowledge engineering and functional programming space. Primary role is advanced web development. Skill set should be able to include Java, Scala, SQL and web servers.

Thanks Maguirre! Please keep in touch with us for future opportunities.
It seems the problem is that the author is trying to create a representation of knowledge, whereas research papers are more of a logging of work done.

His approach may be a perfect fit for an experiment in meta-research. You could run periodic reviews of articles released in specific topical areas and create summaries of the findings. Any time those findings change, its a git commit, and you can track this change over time. It's something like Wikipedia, but designed for research. I would not be surprised if this already exists.

I see a challenge in figuring out the document structure which will be the most conducive to distributed version control (pull requests, etc), and can provide some insights on a historicalbasis. For example, you could run these summaries retrospectively, say looking at DNA research in the 1960s, and do a separate commit for every key finding through the years. It seems to me that you would pretty much have to specify a specialized coding language for scientific knowledge for this structure to work.

Why do we need all things to indicate paper quality? A lot of bug tracker activity might be both a good or bad sign, but more important that's not relevant.

What one should aim for is improving research quality and productivity.

The program does parses selected fields, there are strings-to-binaries procedures.

I tested this approach on multiterabyte files, take a look at my alenka project, it uses the same method to load large CSV files into databases. It just have to be done in chunks.

The program compiles fine, that pull request was referring to incorrect earlier version of test.cu file.

Test it for yourself, see if you get similar results.
I encounter those types of messages a lot due to my unusual and changing user-agent. My usual response is to click the back button since I can usually find the information on another site.
He's attempting a general comparison, concluding that each language took a different gamble and he looks forward to seeing how it turns out for all three.

"This wasn’t Flamsteed getting his prediction wrong, but represents the date of the eclipse by the Old Style calendar (used before the 1752 adoption of the Gregorian calendar)"

Is it common to make the correction from Julian to Gregorian? I would have thought it more accurate the stick with the local date of the event - ie, April 22, especially since that appears in both the Flamsteed potrait and Halley's map.

Am I mistaken? Or did the Guardian just discover it had missed the actual anniversary, and use the calendar difference to add a touch more timeliness to its coverage?
Yes, you should totally apply the standards for a textbook to an example of sketching scientific concepts that I composed in the space of 3 minutes. There's no middle ground between mentioning the most basic things and throwing in everything including the kitchen sink. I am a very bad person and I feel bad about it.
Macbook and USB-C Review
While I don't have actionable advice for you, on the subject of depression I strongly urge everyone to read this blog post by Wil Wheaton: "Depression Lies", http://wilwheaton.net/2012/09/depression-lies/
It moves me to tears.

Afterwards, read his wife's account of it, "The Other Side of Depression", at http://www.annewheaton.com/the-other-side-of-depression/

For an overview of the current scientific knowledge, an introduction to brain chemistry and the psychology of depression, and -- most importantly -- a forceful argument that depression is a bona fide illness, a biological/medical condition, not just some "oh, pull yourself together" thing, see this video of Stanford professor Sapolsky: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOAgplgTxfc
For me, it is easy to understand why, it has to do with shipping code sooner to your customers. It takes a lot of resources and time to optimize your code and the longer your customers have to wait, the more money you lose. In many cases, the extra size is due to frameworks added to the programs to speed up the development.

Frameworks tend to be heavy in size because it needs to accommodate various tasks as well as many platforms it can support. It's not easy to make them modular, so you can pick what you want and leave the rest out to shrink down the size.

For customers, would you rather wait a few days to get a certain feature that works out good enough in a few days or would you rather wait a few months for a feature that works great?

The competition is intense, wait too long to ship a feature and you lose to competitors that managed to get it out sooner than you. So, it's tough to balance each feature and tough to say no to customers, so that you could stay focused and lean.
I grew up in a not-so-blue area in NC but of the people I knew from school that have gone onto success it's been more through parents retiring and passing down solid local businesses. Most of those who have gone onto 'bigger' things have moved out to areas with more opportunities.
This is in reference to "<br />" not "</br>"

The "/>" is syntax for a self-closing tag in xhtml (e.g. you were supposed to use <img src="" /> etc).

You see "<br />" a lot in php forums because these will often filter user input through the function nl2br whose purpose is to add HTML linebreaks wherever a person has a newline in their post. PHP's nl2br function by default inserts "<br />" unless you tell it specifically not to use xhtml-compatible linebreaks.
David Beazley's concurrency demo on PyCon 2015
I've read On Lisp by pg, and I'm passionate about using emacs (still depend too much on vim for productivity), so I'd love to start using Lisp-y languages everywhere. But it seems it's not main-stream [1] enough to have tons of tutorials, books, tools, employees that would appreciate it.. yet.

But I'm getting more hopeful every time I see a new post surface with a new language or tool that is lisp-y.

Btw, this is not the first time I'm wondering this, but could I start using something like ClojureScript instead of Javascript and be able to use the libraries I currently use, like I would with coffeescript?

[1]: No something does not have to be main-stream or widely used/acknowledged as good to be good, but you can't deny it helps. I just don't want to spend my time learning something that could become obsolete, (in the eyes of coworkers/employers!)
That could actually support the same conclusion. It's a common misconception that hearing loss is general quieting across the board. What's more common is to have selective loss in some frequency ranges. That could encourage you to turn up the volume to ear those ranges better, which then might result in sounds in other range being uncomfortably loud.

Edit: more likely though is probably your speakers or something losing frequencies though!

I guess they have Google Keep for that use-case now, so perhaps it's unlikely? The Keep task list feature there is decent, with checkable items that automatically go to the bottom when done, the ability to set time or location based reminders, and sharing with others.

Still, it's a bit of a pain that it's embedded in a more general app - for me, that means it can be a bit hard to find my task lists among other notes or photos.

The gmail task applet wasn't great (usable, but barely). It's a real pity Google can't just get this right, because it's exactly the kind of basic functionality that you don't want to have another login/provider for, and want good mobile / web / cloud syncing for.
It can be done but you still have to work hard to achieve this. For example you will have to make a name for yourself outside of your regular work. For example become a Microsoft MVP or similar. Contribute or create projects that are recognised by people in your industry.

Effectively you have to become like a well known actor. So that when someone is starting a project ('movie') they want to hire you for it no matter the cost.

I just switched to coderpad.io, and so far I really like it - it takes the place of a phone interview. I'm looking for JS engineers, so I've set up a series of stub functions representing problems - with corresponding tests for each of them. If they can make all of the tests pass within half an hour, they advance. They can ask all the questions they want, search the internet, whatever gets the job done.

For the in-person interview, I sit them in front of a laptop and give them one hour to develop a ToDo app from scratch. Bonus points for things like test cases, mobile deployment, multi-user support, you get the idea.

Monks had a lot of influence on spelling. In French, they abbreviated the "ls" at the end of some words to "x", thus "animals" becoming "animax" (later "animaux", as others added a "u" to make the spelling fit the pronunciation better).
