The moon illusion is the most intriguing illusion I know. I'm sure it can be replicated with experiments and such, but the primacy of our nearby neighbor makes it special.

My wife cut off FB 2 years ago but I still use it mostly like a forum. Locally we have a group of 50ish gamers (Warhammer, 40k, Warmachine, etc) and this is the primary way games / tournaments / campaigns are set up. Even a trading area since gamer nerds are apt to constantly buy and trade their toys.

What's funny is we've had to convince our younger members to even sign up so we could communicate with them. Anyone younger than 20 in our group didn't usually have an FB account.

We've tried running traditional forums for the local group but it has never worked. FB is the only way to do it for now.

Mandating that salaries are tied to inflation is an interesting concept indeed.

I'm still majorly confused as to why not all legislation uses "inflated dollars" or some metric that keeps things in line with inflation. Well not confused, per say, more like disappointed.

Well, we don't call that "security by obscurity", we call that "universal hashing", which is provable secure.

The rules to create the constants would nice to have to actually create good universal hashing. 2 variants are not enough yet, but the quality of _1 and _2 are already much better than the typical universal hash function variant.

Virtually every ad is abusive or obnoxious, because they track you. That's probably the leverage that makes online ads worthwhile. That's for better targeted ads, what could be wrong with that (unless maybe you see an ad for sex toys while you're looking at a site with your kid, oops). But data about you can be misused, or stolen and misused, and it's better in general to just not let the data be collected; you don't really know what they're doing with it.

Interesting observation: ad networks collect data about us, they can clearly identify us as individuals (which is why you see those sex toy ads after visiting a sex toy site, for hypothetical example). But there was never a privacy statement involved.

As a Canadian CPA, CA (and also programmer), I think the difference between bookkeeping and accountancy is the need for judgement.

A bookkeeper will record transactions in designated accounts using the process that has been indicated for that type of transaction. However, the bookkeeper will not be evaluating the revenue recognition process to establish when it is reasonable to record revenue (versus deferred revenue, a liability) as a transaction relates to the standards in effect. It is also likely that the bookkeeper will not be responsible for making calls as to whether certain situations should be recorded as contingent liabilities or simple F/S note disclosures or for things like testing intangible assets for impairment.

For a typical tech startup, there are probably fewer situations that give rise to the need for an accountant than bigger, more complex entities. That being said, I suspect that many start-ups with complex cap tables are not reporting in full GAAP / IFRS conformity simply because this is likely not something required by the users of their F/S.

It is a pitty because I use SF often. I think that the problems could be solved if we could use something like pkgsrc on Windows.

Unfortunately this is not a reality or an option but it would be a good alternative.

Based on the pricing it doesn't look like this is aiming to be a replacement for mailman or majordomo public mailing lists, but more for internal private lists.

150 members before you're in the "if you have to ask you can't afford it" bracket -- even small, niche projects would have more people than that subscribed to the announce list -- and that's $129/month. You could run a majordomo list with no member limits on a VPS for less than $10/month.
If it's up to the interviewer then it isn't really a test of one's skills, is it? ("The worse the code is, the greater the understanding of the language in these cases") Instead, the interviewee needs to intuit what it is that the interviewer is looking for.

Doesn't that restriction reduce to "how do you implement modulo?"

def modulo(a, b):
return a - a // b * b

def modulo(a, b):
while a > b:
a -= b
return a

or pulling a hack from http://graphics.stanford.edu/~seander/bithacks.html#ModulusD... , which is equivalent to casting-out-9s but in base 16:

def mod15(a, b):
while a > 15:
b = 0
while a:
b += a & 15
a >>= 4
a = b
if a == 15:
return 0
return a

If it doesn't reduce to that, then it's another example of trying to guess what the interviewer is really asking, rather than trying to demonstrate one's expertise.

To the pro-advertisers reading this, I feel your pain. I have long standing clients who depend on ad revenue, such as print publications that early on successfully transition to the web, who are now really struggling.

However, I aggressively use ad blockers. Here is why:

* the majority of the ads I see on the Internet are of the sort that I use to find in the back of magazines. Crap I would never read is now force feed to me front and center

* nearly every single web page is OVERLOADED with ads. Take a look at a print copy of the New Yorker, Sports Illustrated, etc. Feature articles often have few or even NO ads. In fact, feature articles often start with two pages of JUST content.

* the way the ads work often kills my battery life. NOT COOL. You have no right to kill my battery life.

* You track us with no way to really opt out with out using ad blockers.

* You use the tracking info to target people. Including targeting children and at-risk (mentally impaired) adults. It is very different to have a scam artist with a small ad in the back of a magazine, compared to a phishing web ad that is trying to take advantage of an elderly grandma whose bank account is a click away.

* you burn my bandwidth. this is bad on WiFi, evil on cell data. You have no right to rack up cellular charges on my behalf.

* I don't trust the Kirby vacuum sales person in my home, I don't trust your javascript laden ads on my computer.

While I blanket block ads on the Internet, I do allow ads on sites that only use simple graphics and text for ads. And who demonstrate that they respect me as a reader and potential client.

edit: clarified I was referring to the "print" editions of the New Yorker & SI

Not as a whole, but there are rules that can be evaluated against. Think consistent styling, usage of comments, etc. Things that the average linting tool tells you about.

Granted this doesn't prove correctness, or lack of bugs, but style is a major factor of readability and hence quality.
5% is lower than the average recruitment fee, but it doesn't sound like this service is providing most of the same services (which are time consuming) that an agency provides.

This product scans code and sends high-ranking profiles to an employer. It appears as though that is all the product really does, other than take in feedback once a hire is/isn't made.

Agency recruiters are unlikely to be able to evaluate code. But an agency recruiter will review a resume, speak to or meet a candidate, send the resume and bio to the client, schedule interviews, debrief one or both parties after interviews, serve as a buffer in negotiations, perform reference checks, and close the deal. Those are the elements of recruiting that are time consuming.

5% seems low, but the product doesn't address many other areas of recruiting. If anything, I could see this product being marketed to agency recruiters as a way they can vet the code of the candidates they represent.

I would say that this approach is 100% allowed by Apple, as it doesn't allow device tracking between different apps (specially if you skip the IFA step). That was the main concern of Apple, that lead to disallow developers from accessing UUDID, mainly because it allowed advertising services to cross usage data between different apps.

Using Keychain to store your UID just ensures you don't lose your UID, not a system-wide UID.

Coding is only a small part of the equation.

Better architecture / data modeling (often) leads to less code.

Working out the problem that actually needs to be solved will likely lead to a better architecture.
And then Buddha arrived on the scene and argued that the Hindu concept of Self (Atman) doesn't even exist. The Buddha argued that no permanent, unchanging, "Self" can be found. All conditioned phenomena are subject to change, and therefore can't be taken to be an unchanging Self.

Instead, the Buddha explains the perceived continuity of the human personality by describing it as composed of five attributes (skandhas) none of which contain a permanent entity.

Yes and no. The quantity of money governs the price level in the long run but people's expectations about inflation are very important in the short run. Volker showed that you can simply slow down the creation of money to bring inflation under control at the cost of a certain amount of short term economic distress.

What was cool about the Real story is that they mostly managed to stop inflation without the normal period of distress. This was super important because I believe the Brazilian central bank doesn't have the Fed's level of independence and probably wouldn't have been able to do it the hard way without being stopped.
Did the bicameral mind ever exist in Polynesia? If it didn't, why not? If it did, then when and how did it disappear? Are Polynesians actually conscious after all? If consciousness is an artifact induced by "cultural development and knowledge about the world", then are people born into deprived circumstances perhaps not as conscious as the rest of us? If consciousness is a psychological development induced by specific linguistic features, then what are those features? Are people capable of consciousness if they can only speak an insufficiently advanced language?

This may not be what the op had in mind, but I remember my first bookkeeping (mostly AR/AP/payroll) gig. Watching the books was like watching the tide. Cheques from customers seemed to come in waves, and you'd watch the bank account swell. But then, you'd do a monthly payable run and a few days later you'd enter a big payroll with the monthly expense reimbursements. All of a sudden, the funds in the bank account started to dwindle...until the next wave of cheques...
Isn't this a problem with overly permissive licences used in most OSS? AFAIK there is nothing stopping any commercial entity to just resell you OSS as-is (in case of GPL they just have to link to sources as well). There's also nothing stopping them from putting ad- and malware in, correct? IMO it might be a good idea to put some limits into OSS licences - even if most projects wouldn't have the means for litigation, at least it would give pause to some legal departments of such companies trying to abuse OSS. I'd also advocate to have a standard license similar to creative commons for non-commercial use. Why not adding some semi-enforced sponsorship element into OSS projects that are heavily used commercially?

One man's suspicious is another man's innocuous.

This is why a paranoid schizophrenic might become angry at someone watching videos on their phone on the bus. The listener believes himself to be doing a perfectly normal and harmless activity, whereas the paranoid believes that the watcher is beaming mind control rays into the bus driver's skull to make the bus late.

Of late, cops have been acting more like the paranoid schizophrenic, assuming that everyone is carrying drugs or terrorist bombs, and that the cameras and camera-phones used to record them are actually deadly weapons. This makes them supremely unqualified to determine what is "reasonable".

When I drive my car to work, and see someone running along the sidewalk, I do not assume they are running away from me. They might be exercising. Or perhaps that person saw a bee and is allergic to bee stings. Maybe their wife will be occupied for the next hour and their mistress is 3 blocks away. I don't know. I don't really care.

I don't have any reasonable grounds to impute motive to the running. Even if I know that there is a bomb planted in the sidewalk near them, I cannot assume that they are running from the bomb, because I cannot know that they know what I know.

If any reasonable person could conceive a plausible and probable reason for it, the behavior is simply not suspicious. And as a reasonable person, I might assume that people would run from the police in my municipality because they don't want to be confronted without cause, thrown to the ground, and hospitalized for spinal injuries causing paralysis shortly thereafter. It's simpler elsewhere; they just don't want to get shot, robbed (forfeiture), or even just have hours of their time wasted by police.

And you can't lower the standard when a crime is committed, because there is no magic mobile alert that goes out to everyone in the area whenever that happens. I have no way of knowing what external circumstances are in play that may make what I am doing right now seem more suspicious. The police can't beam their paranoia into other people's heads.

We can, and should, make their job harder, and demand higher standards of professionalism from them, right along with removing all the incentives for them to do their work in a lazy and slipshod manner. What they do now is currently so not-difficult that police departments can reject applicants who are too smart for the job.[0] The common functions that people actually want them to perform are also routinely handled by Brink's, Pinkerton, ADT, KBR, Chubb, Booz Allen, Securitas, etc., without any abuse of authority, because they have no more authority than their customers.

I'll respect what police do when what they do shows respect for the public, rather than unreasonable suspicion and violent hostility, with a nasty habit of looking the other way when one's co-workers do wrong.

This company may be missing an opportunity to market this product to the industry that may benefit the most - agency recruiting (aka headhunters).

Most recruiters don't have the ability to evaluate code, so when they are representing candidates to their clients they are relying on a host of other indicators and data in order to try and gauge the coding ability of their candidates.

This product is a way for recruiters to vet the code of their candidates, and could then pass along those results ("Gradberry score of n") to their client as a value-add that other recruiters not using the system can't provide. A somewhat similar concept to recruiters years ago who asked candidates to take skills tests from places like Brainbench.

For the right price, I imagine recruiters would be interested in this as a differentiator between themselves and other firms. Gradberry would also still benefit from the feedback data if recruiters reported their results.
I'd be curious if anyone has data on this, but I think hacking sites is a much more common vector.
