This is highly unlikely - a company wouldn't be able to hire anyone they need after a stunt like this, which would serve no purpose for them anyway. Companies are acutely aware that you're still employed - it's likely a big part of why they are interested in you to begin with. Prospective offering companies will generally avoid contacts from your current firm in lieu of other specific document evidence, like pay checks, W2, etc. Additionally, you generally provide your own referrals if this degree of reference check is even undertaken.

Phone interviews can be tough - best to do well away from company out of respect if nothing else, but as suggested a lunch break is a good time for this and a park with maybe an ear piece or Bluetooth headset is recommended. And it may seem obvious, but don't actually eat or drink at any point while on the call...

For in person, again just from a moral stand point, these should be conducted on your own time but emphasize your desire to get as many possible done on that day. Don't try to overbook though - the worst thing you can do is miss our all for a reschedule at the last minute. But you can do so if they have a healthy buffer between, especially if one is an earlier round (ie. Phone screen after and day of in person has been doable for me, but you definitely should refuel at that point and try to take a breather.

You absolutely should be aware of the market opportunities and the relative value and respect that can factor in. It is your right, and I would say or obligation, to do so and insure both you and your employer are benefiting equally. All that being said, your current company shouldn't be paying for this pursuit, so be fair and do it on your own time. In business, being consistently courteous and reasonable in all your pursuits will genuinely help your cause and best position for you to receive the same.
Joe Biden's speech in 2012 touches upon similar themes that Sheryl writes about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwZ6UfXm410&t=5m10s

"I have to tell you. I used to resent people. They'd come up to me and say, 'Joe, I know how you feel. I know, right? I knew they meant well. I knew they were genuine. But you knew they didn't have any damn idea."

"For the first time in my life, I understood how someone could consciously decide to commit suicide. I realized someone could go out — and I probably shouldn't say this with the press here, but you're more important — I realized how someone could consciously decide to commit suicide. Not because they were deranged, not because they were nuts. Because they’d been to the top of the mountain, and they just knew in their heart they’d never get there again, that it was never going to get — never going to be that way ever again."
This can easily be bypassed by the application itself if it checks that the DLLs or .so files loaded in memory are the approved and check-summed ones and only then progresses to doing anything. This is a non-issue. Applications that are worried about their IP already do this today. Many encrypt even their DLLs and only load then as necessary based on when they feel they are not under a debugger or a malicious DLL or .so is not loaded.

For this kind of stuff, I'm not sure it would be that interesting. Lots of staring off into space... scrolling the source code... cursing people who can't write code that other people can understand... oh! That doesn't look right... Only the "oh!" part would be about 20 hours into the stream ;-)

I once had an idea to invite open source developers to remotely pair with me for a day on something (a bug fix, some feature they are working on, whatever)... I would record the session, do an introduction to the problem, and then edit the session down to about an hour or an hour and a half. I think it would be fascinating (if a lot of work).

I don't follow this "loophole" you mention. Afaik there are proofs of Gibbard-Satterthwaite that allow indifference in the rankings, and this "distinction" between rankings and scores is methodologically dubious: Arrow himself was sensitive about the meaningfulness of quantitative reports of preference, and I don't see any reason to believe that a "score" issued by a voter is any better or more meaningful than a simple ranking (including rankings of indifference). This approach has always struck me as an unmotivated anti-empirical gimmick to get around this-or-that condition in the theorem(s).
Indian IT community is much more entrenched in the US market. If a Chinese engineer wants to find H1-B work, he will most likely have to go at it by himself, and you know how hard that is.

Language is another barrier, while Chinese engineers most likely read English, few speak fluently.

Lastly, this is subjective, finding work in China is easy for good engineers. They also enjoy upper middle class pay AND social status. So while moving to the States means higher salary, it does not necessarily translate to better life.
Most major social or democratic change depends on illegal activity. And the powers that be almost always appeal to the almighty Rule of Law. Later generations then look back with scorn at the dutiful law abiding folk who dramatically impeded progress. To me, looking to charge & punish Snowden is simply inviting scorn from our children and grandchildren who will see with more clarity what we today cannot. Personally, I'm grateful that so many people throughout history—even people I don't generally like—have broken the law so that we all might benefit.

What happens when your server is compromised and you get help from the FBI?
Often when a company announces that its servers have been compromised, the company also states that they have begun working with the FBI or a similar law enforcement agency.

What does this actually entail? I'm imagining this means anything from simply beginning contact with the FBI, to sharing server logs with them, to giving them full access to the machine for full forensics and interviewing you and your staff.

For minor intrusions, I'd imagine that there are many cases when law enforcement wouldn't get involved at all due to limited resources. On the other end of the spectrum, when millions of users' financial records are compromised I would imagine a more detailed response.

Does anyone have any experience with this? I'm curious to know anyone's stories.

> This is not correct.

> The vulnerability is in `bson-ruby`[1] which is written by MongoDB and used by Moped (and thus Mongoid), the official Ruby driver from MongoDB, and Mongo Mapper.

Then it's in the ruby gem of MongoDB's driver for ruby NOT in MongoDB. The title is still misleading for people who do not code in ruby and therefore are not vulnerable to the apparently ever present ruby BSON bug.

> Mongo BSON Injection

A better title would be Mongo gem BSON Injection

I am not trying to nit-pic I was fairly confused when seeing the title because I don't code in ruby and was 99% sure Mongo's core was C not ruby.

> This is maybe just a tiny bit similar to, e.g., changing your vote from A to B when you learn that C is standing, because C is a terrible candidate but might win, and in scenarios where C is close to winning B is C's main rival.

That's just strategic voting, not an actual change in your preferences. How you go about voting strategically depends on the voting system in use. In your hypothetical scenario you make the unstated assumption that the voting system in use would not allow for you to express a preference for A over B without hurting B's ability to beat C. The inability of that voting system to fully capture your preferences is forcing you to vote misleadingly based on your knowledge of how others will probably vote.

What is the long term solution to this? In my opinion we should put more emphasis on the data itself, instead of the result.

So you do an experiment set to publish data, regardless of outcome: the conclusion comes as a sideline, or even in a separate publication altogether (and the exact p-value made just a note). The outcome should be a rebalancing in the bias.

>Whether or not to upgrade an underlying library for a service. How many nodes to give a cluster, what features to prioritize on that node. You can do this with a monolithic codebase

Right. And it's no harder, either.

>you move slowwww if upgrading one unit implies upgrading others.

Absolutely not. You don't have to have microservices to have a set of loosely coupled libraries.

A reliable automated test suite is what is going to make library upgrades less painful for you, not 1,000 new, brittle serialization/deserialization layers.

>With microservices, you could even write every service in an entirely different language.

Really, really bad idea. Debugging a call stack is an order of magnitude easier than tracing a failure across a set of multiple services which is an order of magnitude easier than tracing a failure across a set of services written in different languages.

>You don't have to make anything distributed.

Some systems do have to be distributed for the ability to call on more resources than one machine can realistically provide, to deal with the inherent unreliability of individual servers, or (sometimes) for legal reasons. There are a great number of problems that you create for yourself if you do this, though, which is why avoiding it where possible and minimizing the pain of doing it is the architecturally sane thing to do.

"Microservices" is the 'paradigm' that you should create this headaches for yourself because Martin Fowler Told You To and because the idea that separation of concerns and loosely coupled libraries won't happen unless you do the technical equivalent of self-flagellation. The unfortunate reality is that it is just as easy to write tightly coupled code with microservices, it just creates a bigger headache for you when you do.

>All the microservices movement has really brought to the table is "no, you don't need to distribute your work to benefit from the looser coupling".

It seems to me that the microservices movement implies the direct opposite of this.
Kinda funny to see a "safe" language saved by C. Just sayin'
Here's the version of the story with respect to voting:
Democracy requires voting. Voting involves an objective measurement of group preference with respect to choices. Arrow's theorem and related theorems (see Gibbard-Satterthwaite theorem) show that there is no way to objectively measure group preferences.

Investing money, creating new products, and all the other things we do are wonderful games and can be a lot of fun, but it's important to remember that it's all just a game.

I feel like this sentiment is very common, but is implicitly stating that all of the other things, family, friends, personal health etc... are not games - when I don't see why that would be the case. Nothing distinguishes those things for me.

Creating new products, like software that gives people better productivity, or hardware that helps people achieve physical fitness goals, or systems that make getting clean water cheaper - those are life changing to a lot of people, sometimes even millions. The typical response to this is "yea but most people make junk" to which I say, telling junk from non-junk is an exercise in futility.

We wouldn't be quoting Paul Buchheit or talking about Dave Sandberg if they hadn't sacrificed some of those relationships, or health for the products and platforms that we know them for. And that's the real point - legacy. Someone's legacy is not the relationships they had personally, just look at the miserable relationship failures of Steve Jobs, but their impact on bringing their vision and impact on groups outside of their circle.

Winning in my opinion then, is having an (hopefully positive) impact on those outside of your inner circle, not within it. And the larger the impact, the bigger the win.
FFVII has really crappy 3D, and sometimes awkward transitions between presentation modes. Still, some of what Square pioneered in that game remain: fixed cameras, character oriented controls, etc... (where the control "left" does different things depending on where the character is facing)

They have gone back and forth on open world vs rails or corridors, and I find the open world, like FFXII, the most enjoyable and replayable of the titles.

When FFVII was released, it was one of the first my wife really wanted to play with me. We played lots of games, but the vivid nature of the story, lots of activities, puzzles, mini-games (Oh, how we spent time on Chocobo breeding...), really made for an awesome experience!

But, an attempt to play it today is tough. The really poor visuals often get in the way, and it just reeks of old.

This is true of many 2D titles too.

One difference is how abstract the game is. An old 2D game, such as TEMPEST, or DEFENDER, actually looks and plays well today. It is what it is, and that isn't much, but the challenge is there, presentation sufficient, and it's sort of timeless.

Those games that went for some realism, or that made more identifiable characters seem to age a lot more quickly, though somebody up thread mentioned SONIC. Yeah, that one is still relevant, and is a stellar example of a timeless presentation involving simple, easily understood mechanics.

Appreciate the honest feedback, I posted it in a public forum so can't ask for anything else. It's a shame you think not a lot of thought has gone into that app but nothing I'll say will change your opinion on that.

Just to quickly address a couple of your points:
- the app is localised so we deal in minutes, miles and metres hence the display of units. We don't want to add confusion when we're providing important info.
- definitely agree with you on the 0 minutes thing. I saw that on Federico's screenshot. The app should've switched and indicated he was at the location - we're investigating this one.
- also agree with switching on and off glances - we've got some improvements on this coming in a future version.

Thanks for taking the time to post your thoughts (and for creating an account specifically for the purpose).

Cheers

> The agreement aims at liberalizing the worldwide trade of services such as banking, health care and transport.

Yes these services really need liberalizing. Just look at all the damage that has been caused by the public ownership of these services. You know private elites would be better off being in control of these services.
600k including bonuses. Vested RSU bonuses. So real cash in hand. And those usually keep replenishing over time so after an initial delay it's compensation.
One idea you couldn't do in SMB1 was going backwards. SMB1 was a game that was going to be included with almost every console that was sold so the cost of the cartridge really mattered to the corporate bottom line. Not only was the rom chips for the SMB1 cartridge a fraction of the size of SMB3 (and a fraction of the price), but SMB1's cartridge contained no expensive SRAM chip.

The tiny SMB1 board: http://blog.grunick.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/IMG_9484-...

On SMB3 you will find the level data stored at 6000+ which is inside the SRAM. This level data is what allowed you to go back to areas in the level you had already played and find consistency. In SMB1 you couldn't go back because it didn't store that data and so the bad guy you killed and the blocks you destroyed would have to appear again.

My thought too.

When I read the comment, I thought, "perhaps reevaluating long held beliefs leads to some new creativity or insight."
The "worry" is not that this-or-that fantastical scenario might play out. It is that, as it turns out, the very mechanisms we use to measure group preferences simply cannot satisfy a list of very basic requirements. For example, the reason we do not use random drawings to determine who gets elected president is that we want the choice to "reflect" our preferences on the whole: but the result shows that this kind of "reflection" is probably not possible, and is always distorted in some fashion by the very procedures we adopt to make these decisions.
> You don't need a 3D artist -- models can also be created with a 3D scanner

As someone who creates 3D models from scanned objects... hah haha hahahahaa. <sob> It's so freaking hard. I wish it weren't so, but it's so frustrating, it is probably the aspect of my job that I enjoy the least. I use a Faro CMM arm with a laser line scanner and polyworks (IIRC that whole package costs about $90k), and you can get decent scans of certain objects without much effort, but it's really hard to get good definition in small details, and some surfaces (shiny ones, transparent ones, ones where light scatters slightly below the surface) and some details (holes, crevices, small protrusions) are really hard to capture. And even still, the resulting model has high complexity... If you want a smooth mesh without holes or other aberrations, that's another layer of work. And if you need to convert it to proper NURBS surfaces, that is yet another layer of work (and one that takes an entirely separate skill set).

I know these technologies are getting better all the time, but that one's still a really hard problem that's waiting for a better solution.
