GNU parallel is one of the most underrated projects in the whole GNU universe. Sure it doesn't work for everything, but for all cases where it does work, spinning up 50 ec2 spot instances and just pointing parallel at them is by far the quickest and easiest way to do distributed computing.

IMAX’s absurd attempt to censor Ars
I've always wanted a model like this to point people to. I don't have a dog in the buy/rent column, but I feel like most of these decisions are made without a regard for many pertinent considerations. The main one that bugs me is how long you will likely stay in a place. Completely disregarding market effects, if you're not going to hold onto it long then it's probably not going to work out.

> a bad hire in a company where letting people go in general is a non-starter

This is your chance to institute good on-the-job training facilities.

"Bad hire" is a "hire" who requires more training than others (in whatever area they may lack, including human interaction). If you can manage to provide that person with effective training that salvages their status, then you had effectively created a training program that everyone else in the company can now take advantage of.

If you can't, well, it will turn out that the company lacks a vision vis-a-vis training. That is what makes a "bad hire" an "omg unsalvageable bad hire, run for the hills!" (i.e. it's a mark against the company, ot against the hire.)
Some long-term job listings, especially the vague ones, are dummies put there by recruitment firms who are keen to get you on their books.
Command&Conquer: Red Alert 2 and its expansion pack also received community patches (I contributed to them a lot) to its binary. When EA later released The First Decade bundle with all the old games in it, they removed the old copy-protection. Most games in the bundle were simply recompiled to remove it, but for the expansion pack they hex-edited the copy-protection to keep it community patch compatible.
Do you have any references for the electrolyte requirements? I just add a small amount of salt to the water I was drinking during a fast, but never had any idea how much I should or whether I should ...
This is exactly the kind of culturing issue I was referring to.

Those elderly Bavarians were probably not aware that they aren't being understood.

Either because they were too agitated to switch to Standard German or a toned down Bavarian or because they just didn't know that they wouldn't be understood.

If you lived your whole life in a place where the daily language of different people range from deepest Bavarian to Standard German, it can happen that you don't realize immediately that you speak in a hard to understood variant of the local language as at home, a Standard German speaker is not a reliable indicator that you won't be understood.
Still no way to mass-produce graphene in the chip process, as the article admits.
A keyboard is just as optional as a typewriter. When I first learned to program the device I learned on did not have a keyboard in the sense described; many people have learned to program by, e.g. Flipping switches on a panel.

The first computer-like things (e.g. Jacquard looms) were programmed by physical objects — indeed one of the first gadgets I learned to program used punchcards you punched manually with a pencil.

The digression into keyboards exemplifies the "self indulgent brain dump" issue I am complaining about. It reminds me of "Mathematics made difficult" except that the book in question was humorous and not pretending to make its subject more accessible.
What type of fasting did you do? I've done 5 day water fasts before, but I don't know how comfortable I would feel extending that to 11 or 20 days!
I have a feeling that a clone of windows 2000 is going to have some hilari-bad security bugs...
This would be my instant assumption as well!

Perhaps too many people are now wise to this? And so recruitment firms have had to arrange for articles (such as this one) to muddy the waters ;)
With the limited ways we're able to study brain disorders at the moment, it feels to me like we're trying to debug an user level application by looking at the signals that pass through the system bus.
WebGL has some differences from OpenGL ES, but the functions mostly have the same functionality. For example, instead of passing a pointer to glTexImage2D(), you can pass a typed array or an image element from the HTML DOM. Objects such as textures are also passed to the API as opaque objects rather than integer indexes.
This fails to take into consideration a growing team. We have had a single job listing open well over a year, but that single listing at one point represented 7 open positions.

It's interesting to see this possible view. We might be better off posting duplicates to make this nuance more obvious.
Actually they're largely more accurate. My personal favorite headphones, the AKG K240s even more so. Hell, you can get almost any set of Sony MDRs for a fraction of the price and they're insanely accurate. Not hugely comfortable, but accurate.

Sneak Attack on Net Neutrality Picks Up Steam in the House
There are places to meet new people it is called Church, Temple, Mosque and bars/clubs.

If your not religious and/or don't drink or dance I see that you would need this service.
Agreeing with all of that. To be clear, my previous post was taking offense to the "not wanting to understand" part. I can guarantee that train attendents want to understand, because every traveller taking up more than a specific amount of time effectively reduces their salary due to bonus structuring. Many people up here simply can't understand Boarisch because it's sufficiently different to be its own language.
Surprised they use tinydns.
I don't live in SF but I'm really curious, how do you "check people out"? I hope you send PIs after them.
The other difference between job postings and apartment rentals is that only one person can rent an apartment, but lots of people can be employed to the same position. You could have same ad out for 6 month, and over that time hire 5-10 people.
I've never hired or seen anyone hired in the past 5 years at least that did not have a LinkedIn account. I don't think it's a prerequisite but pretty much everyone has one. I worked with a U.S. company with an office in Poland all of the devs there had LinkedIn accounts if that's any indication.

Depends on where you want to work / what you want to do - If you are a software engineer, a strong Github/Stackoverflow presence which demonstrates your technical competency (and that you can draw attention to early in a cover letter) would likely help you stand out more than a standard linkedin profile IMHO.
And in what crystal ball do you expect them to check for possible lawsuits?
A truly impressive read. Especially "Toyota automates only what is dangerous (welding) or too heavy for humans. Everything else is done by humans... because humans can create ideas for improvement." because I expected that in Japan there is even more automatization than in germany. The other impressive aspect is the problem fixing process.
If these things are any indication [0]. Then no.

I started exercising and it gave me a huge confidence boost that further lead to being attracted by girls. After a year though I got used to lifting weights and I wasn't progressing as I wanted to be so that didn't help. But I am sure if you get shredded you will be cured.
Honest answer: Yes a serious problem. Two years ago I've had panic attack in the elevator and I was just technically unable to go into office where I worked (I've had a good job and I was content there). Doing ordinary things like groceries, etc. was terribly hard.

Went through brain CT, EMG and some other tests and after some months psychiatrist gave me F40.2 (social phobia) stamp.

Went through various medications that made things much worse (yeah, all these medications actually tried to retain serotonin in the brain). Rivotril and other drugs that actually "disable" the brain work, but they aren't the solution. Being extremely tired also works, but it is not very practical.

It's rather debilitating illness and my life went to hell.
the work is just barely started. I'm working on ways to automate it but so far it's been quite painstakingly manual.

Forgive me if I don't list any companies for a city you'd like to work in. However I encourage specific requests - mail them to mdcrawford@gmail.com
I certainly don't know the answer to your question, but I believe you not only feel the difference in temperature, but also the fact that water is a better conductor of heat and will draw the heat from your body better than the air - and that difference in heat transfer is one of the things you "feel".
"Hotword Search Enabled" is the one you are interested in.
Let's hope it'll transcend out of its current amoral tech state! It has the potential to become the building block of choice for many use-cases where other solutions are too expensive (in terms of required efforts).
I forget what they are called, but I have heard of places that immerse you in total darkness and total silence and have you float in water that is the same as your skins temperature so that you feel like you are floating in nothingness. I never went but want to try it sometime. So I cannot say if it works or not but at least according to these places you would not feel the water. I wish I could remember what they were called. We have one here in Atlanta.

EDIT: found it based on SCHiM's comment: http://flo2s.com/floating/what-is-a-float-tank/
Did the content of their LinkedIn account in any way cause or influence their hiring, or was it just incidental?

Because while almost everybody I know has a LinkedIn account, few people bother to regularly updated, and no one I know has gotten a job because of it.

Depends if you know Rust. The language can do things with types and memory that (say) something like Python or Ruby don't do, which means Rust needs extra syntax to mark those things. Most of the <> or ' are to do with types or memory safety.
Good product idea. The dinner aspect certainly is vital because it's much easier to connect with people over a good meal than in most other situations. However, I was thinking that connecting with people from different backgrounds and cultural contexts IMO is most rewarding in terms of experience and personal development. Apart from the large cultural hubs such as London, New York or (to some extent) Silicon Valley meeting a large number of diverse yet like-minded people might indeed prove a bit difficult.

One thing that came to mind for me in particular is that meeting interesting new people who share a general kind of mindset is one of the aspects that are great about Freemasonry: You get to meet people from almost every walk of life, background (cultural and otherwise) and age bracket.
"Science has no interest at all in, or ability to study anything beyond the natural."

Science doesn't like being anthropomorphized.

I mean that only partially in jest. You mean "science" here as shorthand for "people who follow the natural philosophy known as 'science'". I'll call those people 'scientists', as is the normal practice.

The thing is, there are scientists who investigate putative supernatural events, such as ESP in its various forms, or supernatural events like stigmata from a stone sculpture.

This is possible because some supernatural events affect the natural world. If someone says they can use dowsing to detect a buried bottle of water, then the success is part of the natural world. If during unblinded tests they can find the water while during blinded tests they cannot, then it's likely that any success is not due to a supernatural agent but to to the internal knowledge of the dowser.

Similarly, some claim that water molecules can be influenced by thought. (Eg, the film 'What the Bleep Do We Know'.) Such claims can be tested, which puts them in the natural world.

However, other supernatural events, such as received wisdom, might have no impact on the natural world. If you say the god Mxyzptlk told you that left-handed people should not eat soup, then there's nothing that science can do or say about it.

While if you say that Mxyzptlk told you that William the Conqueror in 1072 liked to smoke Cuban cigars and eat macadamia nuts while watching Game of Thrones, then science still can't say if Mxyzptlk does or doesn't exist, but can show that such an event was ahistorical. It is much more likely that Mxyzptlk doesn't exist, or that Mxyzptlk told you a lie.

Going back to your phrase "Science has no interest at all in, or ability to study anything beyond the natural". What you say is true. If something has no impact on the natural word, then there's nothing that science can do or say about it. But the vast majority of supernatural event also have a natural component, and those real-world effects are in the domain of science.

Are you limiting yourself to only those events with no real-world effect? Or do you want to include supernatural events like a global flooding, which would leave physical traces had it occurred?
Yep. If it was one thing a networking (the wires and cards kind) teacher drilled into me was to check wiring first and then work my way up the stack.
No. I've never seen the LinkedIn profile of anyone who I've been involved with hiring & do not have one myself. It's never been mentioned.
Is this safe? How do you know what your limits are? I thought around 21 days you were at the point of starvation? What about your weight? How over weight are you (if you don't mind me asking)? I'm assuming someone with a normal BMI couldn't do something like this for so long???
thanks. crazy situation. don't get me wrong, i'm just naive, but would using headphones (listening to music), not looking at people and closing the eyes in the elevator work?
Important comment from an earlier thread: don't ignore the human factor. Buying instead of renting forces you to live more frugal, which is a reason why people who buy are often better off financially when they retire.
I'd say that's within the realm of classifying it as "secret" or at least underhanded. Unless I'm reading that wrong, it sure reads as "take first, tell second, then let them contest." Pretty crappy.
Or not. My current job has nothing to do with Github / Stackoverflow presence.

I do know people who have made connections through Github / LinkedIn / StackOverflow. But I personally don't have an active account on any of those three.

If you were going to design an optimal protocol from scratch today, you would not make TCP/IP or HTTP (check the Referer header [0]) or lots of other things. But we all use them to maximize interoperability.

For the same reason, you should almost certainly be using the MIT, Apache, or GPL license to maximize the chance that your open source software can actually be used by others. If you don't use a well known license, very few will invest in the lawyer's time necessary to evaluate your custom license. (See the problems caused by the tongue-in-cheek JSON license: http://tanguy.ortolo.eu/blog/article46/json-license )

Use the dominant license for your project (e.g., MIT for Ruby Gems). For new projects, I recommend http://choosealicense.com to pick a license.

Of course this is just anecdotal, but I haven't had a LinkedIn account in 5 years and have had many job offers. I have never heard of this being a prerequisite or even a contributing factor.
Nah. It was a neighbor kid. Just got out of a short term in prison, they were having a 'welcome home' party, he got drunk and came over and tried to burglarize us. Found him sleeping in the bushes.
> “The jobs disappearing from the economy are routine, really simple jobs. The kind of jobs that are booming are jobs that take lots of judgment and creativity. They’re harder to hire for and so it takes longer.”

Funny they ended with this. It makes some sense. The inverse is true too (for a truck driver, one can do more investigation to see if she has a safe & trustworthy background for instance) but certainly it takes more work to hire a developer than a retail salesperson.
We hire people via linkedin and always check people profiles there. It's very useful for this purpose. However, it's not a requirement.
Yeah, my reply was a bit tongue in cheek but the main gist is that Bavarian and Standard German are not that far apart linguistically.

With a little bit of exposure you can understand it well enough.

But in Germany the dialects have a lower social status so you don't get lots of opportunities to hear it as even those who speak dialect when at home or with friends usually switch to something more closer to Standard German when talking to obvious non-local people.

In Austria and Switzerland, this is completely different situation there and you can expect to hear more dialect than you ever thought could possibly exist.
But sounds like you might be well-connected (friends in the business). That's huge. A Polish immigrant would be a different deal.
I have skipped breakfast for the last 10 years of my life (not anymore though), and I would hardly call it fasting. I tend to just compensate it later with lunch and dinner. In fact it's less healthy according to the "many small meals instead of a few big ones" theory.
It's like being an Apple user from the early days when most computer programmers thought having a GUi or user interface standards was for wimps. Now every other person at Starbucks has a Mac or iPhone, and even Linux users claim to care about usability. What happened to my exclusive club?
Yeah, it remains me of how masturbation was thought to lead to severe mental illness based on the fact that severely mentally ill patients tended to masturbate...
> Buying instead of renting forces you to live more frugal

As a home owner, I'm going to ask someone to elucidate on this sentiment.
I used to think this - then I worked with a coworker who just couldn't get it. He'd ask the same question 5-10 times. When the candidate just doesn't care, no amount of training can make up for it.

Sometimes the best training is to fire them, and hope they realize the consequences of not caring.
Actually, at the current moment ReactOS is clone of Windows 2003, not the 2000. That is the big difference!
Having so many recruiters is the value. I get multiple recruiters a week messaging me on LinkedIn, and it's growing constantly. By the time I'm job hunting I'll be able to message a lot of recruiters all at once.
Agreed, but certain harmful/negative things ARE stored in your fat cells (THC from marijuana is one such example) and these do get released during extended fasts as your body burns fat. I don't think this is really in doubt.
"silly ideas is the portfolio of a brazilian advertising creative.

a really silly idea would be to make an integrated campaign out of a digital thought, so don’t be silly."

So tell us more about your agency's involvement in this. Is this a play for free publicity?
I would like to present a counter point to your generalization. I am interested in this. I work from home on a own business. Do not suffer social anxiety, however my social outgoings are limited due to work from home alone. I would suggest that this type of random dinner would not be very appealing for people who suffer from social anxiety.
I think the worse that can happen is the 3rd options, although I agree that we have no information about "How much bad is hiring a bad engineer"

When I'm asked about how I'd hire I always look for adaptability, creativity, communication, taste.
Unless our goal is to find something really skilled on alghorithims or a specific language, it's just ok if they are curious, passionate, and communicate.

That said, I still wonder why we put that much emphasis on the language or the algorithmic skills when what we really care about is culture, passion, and helpful communication.

Maybe it's just me but I feel like searching for a more human skillset seems worthwile in the long term
That's what you get for abusing TLDs. Leave .gl to the Galicians!
That has to be mostly in jest, right? Science has nothing at all to do with the fantasies you describe. However, scientists may study the human mind, and try to describe why it clings to irrational flights of fancy like that. So if the human mind is considered to be separate from nature, then there's a concrete example of scientists studying something 'not in nature'.
It's just an easy way for HR to indirectly socioeconomically or racially profile you. Have a clean cut picture of yourself on any easy to find US-based social media site to help stay near the top of the pile.
There are interesting parts to the article, but the headline doesn't do it justice.

> “Daddy? Why is water wet?” And the proper answer is: strong tetrahedral hydrogen bonding, which they then related to their teachers for years afterward whenever the subject of water came, they’d say, “Strong tetrahedral hydrogen bonding!” But that’s the correct answer. That’s what makes water wet.

I've got a simpler answer. The Apple dictionary defines the word "wet" as "covered or saturated with water or another liquid". By that definition, if someone were to ask, "Why is water wet?" the response would simply be "because it is water".

Another way to ask the question is "What about water gives it interesting properties?"

By the title, I was hoping to see some interesting definition of "wet" in the article but did not. It might as well ask "Why is water water?"

I'd also be interested in a unpacking how "wetness" works in terms of lower principles, across different liquids. To what degree do all liquids behave like water? Why or why not?
Is this going to be opensource?
