> It just seems disrespectful that you would ask someone to be on the phone for half the day just for the possibility that they might get the job.

The vast majority of jobs require coming in for a half-day or day of interviews for the possibility of getting a job. I agree with your point about doing projects for free but a block of interviews is pretty normal. If they're by phone anyway, sure they could be spread out but most companies will have at least some interviews in-person.

"Design a challenge to evaluate the selected candidates’ skills. Good professionals love challenges. If the candidate refuses to do a challenge, consider this a red flag about their future commitment."

To me a bigger red flag is if someone has the time and desperation to put up with this kind of bullshit. Good professionals love money and respect.

Edit: IMHO the "unicorn" is someone who is both competent and spineless, which to me sounds like the candidate this article is asking you to find.
Bangalore, India. Many Positions. Full time.

This is my third monthly post and have hired a couple of great guys from the past posts.

Expanding the scope to include Analytics, Data Warehouse, DevOps and App developers. Please read on.

I have recently taken up a role to build a payment network from scratch, out of Bangalore, India. It is funded by a big corporation, but will be arms-distance from their central business.

It is a large, complex and fascinating problem to crack. The potential to bring banking to 600 million un/underbanked Indians is what excited me to work on this.

In the past I have built both fast-data and big-data companies and have a few patents in this space.

We are looking to hire a good core team of full time math, physics and CS majors, UI UX and product managers, who will work of Bangalore, India.

If you are interested, please email me at google's email service - takenottie. Thanks for reading.

> Graphically more primitive than Doom in most ways

They didn't use a raycasting engine, though - the maps were full 3D (and so were some of the environment pieces - benches and the ankhs come to mind). Because of hardware limitations, your viewport was limited to about 1/4 of the screen...

In a lot of ways, they were technologically superior to the Doom engine - except they were slow. The same engine ended up being reused for System Shock (and 2, if I remember correctly).
Originally RISC was a combination of:

Small simple instruction set, to minimise the size of the decoder

Single cycle execution

Aggressive pipelining

Replacement of decoder space with a much larger on-chip register space

The theory was everything would work faster. And this was true for a while.

But eventually CISC cache killed the register speed advantage, CISC pipelining became astonishingly clever and killed the pipelining advantage, and the actual difference in efficiency between a CISC instruction decoded to u-ops and compiler translation of complex statements to RISC instructions turned out to be somewhere between not much, nothing, and negative.

So RISC basically wins for relatively low performance low power computing. It's not such a win for anything that requires SIMD, MMX, or any kind of DSP extension - which today means most desktop computing.

The basic problem with the premise is that it's more efficient to cache memory reads and decoded instructions and data than to keep data in registers and assume a pipeline is going to give you cache-like performance for instructions.

In fact, modern CISC chips include the equivalent of a hardware compiler that tries to run an optimised internal RISC machine while also providing the benefits of fast data and u-op caching.

The simple many register model is really a bit old fashioned now.

"The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant conflicts of interest, together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance, science has taken a turn towards darkness. As one participant put it, “poor methods get results”. The Academy of Medical Sciences, Medical Research Council, and Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council have now put their reputational weight behind an investigation into these questionable research practices. The apparent endemicity of bad research behaviour is alarming. In their quest for telling a compelling story, scientists too often sculpt data to fit their preferred theory of the world. Or they retrofit hypotheses to fit their data. Journal editors deserve their fair share of criticism too. We aid and abet the worst behaviours. Our acquiescence to the impact factor fuels an unhealthy competition to win a place in a select few journals. Our love of “significance” pollutes the literature with many a statistical fairy-tale. We reject important confirmations. Journals are not the only miscreants. Universities are in a perpetual struggle for money and talent, endpoints that foster reductive metrics, such as high-impact publication. National assessment procedures, such as the Research Excellence Framework, incentivise bad practices. And individual scientists, including their most senior leaders, do little to alter a research culture that occasionally veers close to misconduct."

I can certainly implement Scheme using Pascal. That is, I can write a Pascal program that, when given a program written in Scheme, executes the Scheme program according to the Scheme spec.
I think you need to read up a bit more on how asymmetric key cryptography works :) Verification is done using the public key, the private key is used to sign something. That's why it's so useful. This is a good read if you want to learn more: https://www.crypto101.io/

Basically, the separation between 'server serving the downloads' and 'machine signing the release' is intentional, and should be maintained. Consider it an 'airgap' of sorts, although it usually isn't one in the strictest sense of the word.

Making release signing depend on the SSL infrastructure (which is already rather broken in a number of ways) in any way, is a bad idea. Verification is a different story, but secure code delivery is a hard problem anyhow.
I believe there is a proof of concept which if implemented would be trillions of time slower, so lets say kinda? 100x slower as is the case with this method would be amazing if they managed to get make it fully homomorphic eventually and keep that speed.

because governments won't take no for an answer. they have the means to effectively put a company out of business. hence shareholders really have no voice in this area.

this isn't about profit as some claim, its about the absolute ability of governments to do as they wish. you choice as a corporation is simple, cooperate or get shut down.

to fix this requires getting voters to elect politicians who abhor this arrangement.

Unlike most on here, I'm not a developer or an engineer or a sysadmin. While I recently got my first Rails app online, you should probably not hire me to code for you.

However, do get in touch if you need someone passionate about supporting and empowering your staff—someone who can tackle your operations, people strategy, and talent management functions so you can focus on your core business. If you're tired of staid, rules-oriented, tech-illiterate HR, then let's chat so I can hear about your needs and priorities.

I'm looking for a place where I can work hard and have a big impact; in return, I'm hoping to land in an org that cares less about beer & ping-pong and more about having collaborative, kind, and very competent people.

My read on The Machine was that HP was developing the system in parallel with the memory component.

The idea was "imagine if you had a server with an insanely huge amount of non-volatile SRAM (that could hold OS, applications, and files), and no hard disk"

It was the "huge amount of non-volatile SRAM" part that the memristor was supposed to deliver and didn't.
