Sports victories and losses in the USA are celebrated by riots and burning cars, as, for some reason, are Pumpkins.

May Day is often celebrated in the US with free assembly and speech, and any time free assembly occurs successfully, there are a few people who want to ride its' coattails to experience the creation of riot porn.

Looks phenomenal.

Hopefully this means quadcore Broadwell (announced yesterday[1]), Nvidia 9xxM and USB C, in a ~14" frame, while keeping most of the good stuff from the current gen XPS15. Perhaps even 32GB RAM?

Alas, getting one with a regular 1080p screen, but otherwise fully spec'ed, is perhaps too much to hope for. If XPS13 is anything to go by, the 4k screens drain too much battery to be worth it, imho.

As with the XPS13, the webcam seems to be awkwardly placed (a consequence of the bezel being too thin to house one), but I could live with that.

I couldn't agree more. Everyone here with the tin foil hats is reading too much into it and also coming from a place of deep seated hate for anything Microsoft does.

The fact is the industry has changed. Trends have shifted. Microsoft, especially now with Nadella running the show realize they can't dictate what developers need. If they want to stay relevant they needs to give the people what they want.

I recall a friend ~12 months ago (in their final year of university), hearing positive news back from IBM after 6+ months of silence since their interview, by which point they had accepted a job elsewhere.

I expect some companies prefer not to officially reject, so they have more applicants to potentially consider for future positions, although many may have taken jobs elsewhere by this point.

That's just fear mongering.

Why would you not change your password before taking it in? You should be changing it regularly anyway, and you shouldn't be using that password in more than one place. The idea of it leaking from a technician's database is irrelevant because you would change it as soon as you get the machine back.
I've hired people before, and usually when it comes time to send rejection emails it can be very hard.

If someone clearly isn't right for the job, you owe it to them to mention why- I'm an engineer, I work in absolutes and "Culture fit" or something so wishy-washy doesn't roll well off my fingers.

But how do you tell people that they lack basic knowledge or experience in certain areas without sounding bitchy or attacking.

Even worse is the ones that interviewed well, or showed significant competence.. yet were not as strong as another candidate.

I agree it's wrong to send nothing- but it can be hard to formulate a pleasant email.. especially if you've interviewed many people. (10-15 at my last employment, I was replacing myself and had limited time to document/check everything).
You underestimate the amount of intelligence Google's search data + smart machine learning can deduce about you. Remember how in the sherlock holmes stories, sherlock can deduce huge amount about people , from tiny clues ?

How much do you think sherlock could deduce from Google searches - where people usually bare their souls ,on ALL their issues, from the insignificant to the critical?

Machine learning can, to some extent , be that sherlock, but if someone with the right investigantional skills diggs through your search data - he can be sherlock too.

And since Google does know all that about you, in most cases ,i think that keeping the rest of the data won't be the thing that "saves" you - maybe with the exception of your browsing patterns - but since Google has trackers in most web sites - they already know a large part of your browsing patterns - so you're quite defenseless there.

TL;DR - Google search knows a huge amount about you, And with that data, sherlock holmes(or a decent investigator, or probably an AI) can know almost everything on you!

I'm having the opposite problem. I'm trying desperately to get people to apply for mobile dev positions... and of the FIVE applications I've managed to lure in, none of them replied to my phone calls or emails back.

I was considering asking for an address in the application so I could go wait on applicants' doorsteps, but maybe a letter like this is a less litigable idea.

While I agree that companies who go quiet are behaving poorly and would think ill of an applicant who was not responsive myself. My reaction reading the note was that its a bit long to send someone who already blew you off. I hope it makes the sender feel better, I don't think there is much else you are going to do. In this case reporting to the job site that they are unresponsive is probably better (though depending on the site and their rules it may do little as well)
You are probably largely correct. A couple of counter-examples. They are from the Apollo program, hopefully they qualify as roughly equivalent.

> The problem with Scala is that architects can and sometimes will get giddy and create monsters.

> The amount of times where defining a partially applied higher-order function is the best way to solve a problem is nonzero, but still really really low.

I was with you until this. Using partial application doesn't create monsters, and in fact is rather easy to follow and understand (assuming you know what partial application is, of course).

There are however, features of Scala that can be abused to create monsters, the most obvious of which is implicit conversions. An extremely useful feature, but can cause a mess if you're not careful. And even with those, it's still entirely static, and your IDE can highlight which ones happened where, as opposed to something like Ruby, where you can update classes at runtime.
I know about that but that's simply an opt-out of interest based ads - they're likely still collecting your data in case you enable the ads again.
That's lovely and all, but the game is rigged. Vote? lol.

Do you want to live in a society where business interests collude with governments behind closed doors to decide what's in the "public" good? Because that's the one we live in.

The balance of power is just amazingly asymmetrical. The status quo is a machine that exists only to preserve itself, not for the public good. How can you honestly believe that it's in our best interests for this deal to remain private? Anyone who would leak it isn't "decid[ing] what's in the public good" at least in terms of actual policy, they're literally just letting the public be aware of what's going on with new policies that affect them (and this is not sensitive military information that might "threaten our national security" if released, so that argument is out).

From the article: "Proponents argue its a debate so fragile that airing the specifics publicly would thwart progress. They say the chapters already published by WikiLeaks, ones on the environment and intellectual property, strained talks by inflaming interest groups."

What the fuck? This is not democracy. "Well you know a bunch of people would probably be unhappy about this massive global policy we're enacting so let's just not tell them about it."

I'm sorry for the rhetoric but this kind of stuff...that society you don't want to live in - I feel like we're already there. It's not one person deciding but it's a group of people and they are continually fucking over everyone else for their own interests. We could do so much better.
Cisco Announces Intent to Acquire Piston Cloud Computing
>Since many companies in the U.S. do send rejection emails

Are you able to provide any kind of data backing up that claim?

I am strongly in the "don't hate the player, hate the game" camp on this issue.

This is NOT a basic courtesy but a business process that requires a lot of resources to be at least somewhat meaningful. How long do you think it takes to write a rejection letter that provides useful, actionable data for the potential candidate? Multiply that by 10-100 for every position.

Oh, and I've seen much more nasty replies and general insults than thank yous in response to rejection letters.

I would be in support of rejection letters if the process would be mandated by the hiring platform / shared culture / etc.

You're already eventually consistent
I agree with you, but I do not agree with what seems to be the prevailing opinion here which I would summarize as "If you don't have information about something, that something is bad"

I realize I phrased this in what is probably an offensive way to many, and I apologize I didn't want to spend 20 minutes rewording it so I could figure out how to insult as few people as possible.

I agree it is better to have transparency but honestly, because not all actors (businesses, special interest groups, other countries) are guaranteed to act transparently, sometimes it is actually in the American public's best interest for some level of obfuscation. Is this one of those instances? Hell if I know. Transparency from only one party in an arrangement between many parties has costs as well as benefits is my point, costs which should be considered.
>But how do you tell people that they lack basic knowledge or experience in certain areas without sounding bitchy or attacking.

It frustrates me that you see it this way because it means when I give direct criticism to individuals I'm expected to bring in line via performance reviews, they get upset and take it personally. It also frustrates me because I'm surrounded by people who refuse to give me direct criticism of my work for fear that I will take it personally. Meanwhile, I'm trying to develop professionally...
You are not well versed enough on the technology or the culture to opine intelligently.

Let me illustrate where you went wrong.

----Just regulate, and mark with ID, the bullets.

You have no way of dealing with the billions of bullets that are already out there.

As long as it's stored properly, ammunition doesn't go bad. I have ammunition that was made back in the 1950s and it still shoots just fine.

How will you have the bullets marked that will prevent someone from removing the mark if they have criminal intent?

----Or if that starts being circumvented with diy bullets, control the propellant, and mark it with isotopes or whatever.

What do you do about the millions of pounds of propellent that's already out there today?

What do you do about the fact that those millions of pounds of currently existing propellent do not have any kind of "isotopes or whatever" tags in them?

Gunpowder taggants have several mundane problems. Namely, they they can't prove who fired a shot more effectively than the currently used GSR testing,(witnesses, bystanders and first responders will be covered with taggants), they have not been proven to be safe and the 800 pound gorilla of the fact that they're only useful for driving up the costs of ammunition(the real point).

Just like when people were advocating microstamping, it was demonstrated that in 30 seconds the microstamping could be disabled with a $3.00 file. Add $100 to the cost of a firearm and anyone with criminal intent can bypass it with a $3.00 file.

----Very few people have a legitimate use for explosives

Some do.

----it should be easy to control, along with the obvious "possesion of unregistered firearm, or of an unlicensed design, or using homebrew propellant" laws.

"Should be easy to control" is not the same thing as "Is easy to control". Every Home Depot has the raw materials to build an ANFO bomb that could level a building. It's not regulation of those materials that has prevented that from happening everywhere, it's the fact that most people aren't psychopaths or career criminals.

In places like New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, it's already illegal to possess an unlicensed firearm. Has that eliminated violent crime?

Your solution to the problem of currently existent crime is to pass more laws that are even more difficult to enforce that will be immediately ignored by the people who are willing to break the current laws against homicide?
Is it just me, or does keeping up with the 30 or so web tools they've outlined sound exhausting?

Two lines out of the entire article mention those. I would not exactly call that "plenty of non-graphics examples". There are many more CPU intensive processes besides just those that result in real technical challenges, as well. My point is that since the article doesn't do them justice, it shouldn't be the phrased as the "tech" arms race, but instead as the "graphics" arms race.

> Snowden was motivated by "tremendous conscience" and Manning was motivated by petty revenge.

I put it to you that Snowden remained a free(ish) man who was able to communicate his story with the world whilst Manning was locked in isolation and was unable to make public appearances or give interviews. Therefore the 'message' (as the PR people think of it) during the critical time period following leaks and naming of the whistle-blower was controlled by the US government.

I put it to you that this may have influenced your and my and others opinions of them both.
Don't worry about hurting their feelings. Think about helping them become a stronger candidate in the future.
One of the problems with this trade deal is that most of our representatives -- the people who are supposed to write legislation -- aren't even allowed to know any more about it than we are. Not only that, the text will stay secret for two years after it has been ratified.

Did I ever said snap is dumbed down? Read my post again.
I said it would get the undeserved reputation of being "dumber" than "real programming".

Did I ever say Logo was unsuccessful? It was at the very least tremendously popular in schools. But it didn't bring more underrepresented demographics into the fold.

Did I ever say snap's UI was pink?

Before ascribing ulterior motives or unconscious reasons to me, please make sure to read what I wrote properly.

If it wasn't clear, I've got nothing against Snap and I think it's very good to have a visual programming language that tries to support important CS concepts like recursion and closures. I've got nothing against Snap - rather the contrary.

I just thinks the premise of this post is misguided and the spirit behind it is actually detrimental to its stated goals.

Snap could be great as an engaging teaching tools for novice programmers of ALL demographics. But marketing as an aid for increasing diversity is not just wrong, but could be even harmful, since it could pave the road for technical segregation.

As far as i understand Google's business model doesn't really sells your data. It's an interesting question though how much of your data does leak to third parties via Google's ads etc,in a way that hurts your personal privacy. But i think Google's interests is that none of that leaks so they'll still have that business advantage.

One exception is Google and NSA tracking - but that is mostly a political question as i'm pretty sure the NSA has full access to Apple - it would be naive to think otherwise.
