This is also sometimes called 'checkpointing', and has been a long-studied feature necessary for distributed processing systems. There's a lot of ways to skin this cat. Kernel modules, application libraries, userland tools, and features to support various kinds of applications (single-threaded, multi-threaded, preserving TCP connections, etc). Find the one that fits your use best.

How to Hire for a Startup: Culture, Capacity, and Craftmanship
It is typical for technically-minded people to not buy new Apple products due to missing features and perceived design problems ("No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame.").

Often after not using the product long enough to see if it's really a problem. Or, perhaps to discover what really is there (as opposed to what seems to be missing). These people -- quite astonishingly -- seem to not appreciate how much testing and prototyping Apple does with new product categories.

And then, to denounce the product as likely-to-fail in tech forums due to their personal lack of interest.

Such people are trying to answer an aggregate market question, with weakly-informed personal tech prejudices.

Anyway, this mode of reasoning has proved to be quite misleading; it has missed the boat on every major Apple product category. So yes, I think these observations don't really move the conversation forward.
If you had a combover I would judge you hard.
Take a look as Maslow's Hierarchy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow%27s_hierarchy_of_needs).

Esteem and self-actualization are way up there at the top. Those may be pursued only after you see to the baser needs.

So you have two options:

1. Increase your income.

2. Reduce your expenses.

Paying off debts serves both options. You do not have permission to quit working for The Man until you no longer owe Him anything. The Man, of course, employs plenty of dirty tricks to keep the debts going; you'll have to avoid them.

Live in the cheapest home that fulfills your needs, and resist the urge to indulge your unnecessary desires. Note that this does not always mean that you should own that home. At the point where you are now, that hour you spend researching would be better spent planning your grocery shopping, with specials and coupons.

That single step you take to start the journey of 1000 miles can't fall at the 500 mile mark. You have to start at the beginning. Get out of debt.

Don't waste time researching business opportunities until you actually have enough capital to jump on one. Otherwise, you're just going to end up working for your creditors and investors, rather than yourself. And they will flog you harder than any boss you have ever had.

> Being swayed by superficial cues is not irrational if they correlate to the underlying qualities you are trying to judge.

I'd be pretty careful about this line of argument. What we think of as a clue to underlying qualities is cultural... for example, one of the biggest superficial differences in people is the color of their skin. What underlying qualities does skin color clue us in to?

In the US and Europe, we have a long history of trying to find the ties between visible and non-visible qualities. Phrenology, eugenics, Blacks as having "inferior intelligence", the belief that women are prone to hysteria - all were attempts to find that link.

Wow. Thanks for all of this. I appreciate your emotional investment. I, too, want me to suceed.

- a premium experience is what I'm hoping to provide. It's what I offer through the experience of buying from us. Do you have any suggestions for what I could work on to provide a more premium browsing experience? Are you saying that my photos and navigation should be better? If so, what would you like to see different about them?

- You're totally right. The knives page is just a bunch of knives. I know them, and I wasn't able to unknow them for the sake of development. I offer explanations of the knife type on the browsing page for each knife type, but you're totally right that the general knife browsing page should be different. Should I only list categories and a brief overview of which category is for what use?

Also, I love the idea of building a "Choose your own adventure"-style navigation, separately, to help focus your search.

- I'll add an explanation of why hand-made is better. I think I started to go into it in one of the artcles, but I should make it more clear and available. Where would you like to see that kind of information?

- International shipping was a total oversight. Thank you! I'll clarify that today.

I'm curious about your silicone and magnet sheets, do you have a link to something similar online? I've never heard of this. I am working on knife rolls, magnetic wood knife racks, and individual knife covers as well.
I experienced a very similar broken interview process, but with Amazon (AWS). It appears this is more common at the big tech companies than I thought , judging from your comment and all the others in this thread.

I was contacted three times for the same position, until I also had to tell the recruiter 'no thank you, remove me from all future positions'.

The first time I was scheduled to fly into Seattle, they even asked me what I wanted for lunch! Then 1 week before the flight, they cancelled everything, reason 'none given', just 'we will keep you on file'. A different recruiter contacted me a second time 3 months later, I thought to schedule the Seattle interview, but I was told it was 'a different hiring manager' and I needed to do the phone screens again. So I did, after the phone screens, I was given the canned email 'we cannot extend another interview..'. Then the same recruiter contacts me again a month later to see if I wanted to interview! At which point I just declined.
I've worked on my own remotely / out of an office environment for years, and definitely miss the banter and the camaraderie, but would never trade it back for the typical 9-to-5 I use to have.

I find it insanely easier to get things done when I'm in a closed, quiet room with no co-workers around to bother me. At the office, I'd often be bombarded by drop-ins, people chatting or other distractions. A focused 4 hour day working on my own is equivalent in productivity I've found to a full working around other people who aren't completely involved in their work.

Call me a robot, but I love to get my work done alone and then shift into social mode. I'm not good at doing both at once.
Down votes aren't incorrect because of the definition of 'recruited'.

Down votes are incorrect because downvoting someone merely because you disagree is the embodiment of confirmation bias.

That makes it the enemy of debate, and of reason itself.

How a Marketing Guy Won a Hackathon with WebRTC
In response to being downvoted — I would assume that tracking all of the records in function closures (first-class functions) would be a real headache, though slightly aided by the fact that garbage collection is available, and the question of whether to support eval raises a number of issues.

In any case, compiled Common Lisp is not something that resembles other compiled languages... and the purpose of my article is to discuss either designing an interpreter or a compiler, not a dynamic compiler, recompiler, or compiled code that requires some kind of runtime interpreter as a side, all of which are extraneous use cases for hackers not people learning how to program. They also make for poor pedagogical tools.

NCEES has introduced a software engineering PE exam.[1] Not many people are taking it yet (18 total test takers for April 2015) [2] but that isn't surprising since it's brand new, many "software engineers" don't qualify for licensure, and only a bit more than half the states even license for software PEs. Personally, I don't see how much of a difference licensure will make for safety-critical projects given that regulated industries are already, well, regulated. Nevertheless, forcing someone to take professional and personal liability for their work, as well as establishing a common body of knowledge, both strike me as good in general for safety-critical work.

The is the usual thing I hear. It is so incredible naive, though.

Any service, no matter how locked down and properly configured, still presents an attack surface. SSHD is a program like any other, and it can have bugs.

When you use port knocking with a properly configured SSHD, you are much more secure because that attack surface has been removed.
On a small and large scale, this stealing happens across all continents. Who will be help accountable? When and how, and by whom?

And what's nice about SELinux (if you learn it) is it applies to the system and everything running on it whether or not it's been written for it. You can even put it in a logging only, and use those logs to generate the needed policies. SELinux will tell you what is going on.

What you point out as nice about tame() means that nothing will use it except what is in the core of OpenBSD.

> The CPU was overclocked from its default clockspeed of 4000MHz to 6531MHz without deactivating any cores or the Intel Hyper-Threading feature. The voltage was increased to 2.032V and the chip was chilled using LN2 cooling.

It's even more crazy that they managed to do this without disabling any of the cores. I wonder if the OS parked any of these cores. This blurb doesn't mention if they put the CPU under any load, or if the 6531MHz was achieved without load.

Also, liquid nitrogen? Is this common in the overclocking community now?

I had nothing but good conversations. No animosity at all during the interview. That comment is post-interview analysis.
It doesn't really hinge on them not being qualified for the job the way I read it. It hinges on them not being 'the most qualified' for the job. As failure of the interview to me is defined as not getting the job. And interviewing 10 people for every position leads to them choosing a most qualified out of those 10 and leaving notes for future teams looking to fill a position.

I am no way saying their practices are not discriminatory, just that I read that statement differently.

I think due to the complete lack of disclosure about why you don't get a job in the tech industry it will be interesting to see Google have to justify their decisions with the facts to a court. I personally ask after most every interview what I could do to improve, or what I did wrong. With very rare exceptions I am told they can not disclose that information for liability reasons. (Google and Amazon both definitely gave me this answer) A handful of companies have told me things like, we went with a candidate that had more experience in ________. And once a company told me that a project was cancelled so they unfortunately no longer had a position available.
Early in the article, it mentions he almost chewed off his tongue, which sounds pretty serious to me, and towards the end it mentions, "Pete’s left leg is permanently damaged from years of injuries he couldn’t feel, and he lives with the anxiety that he could overlook a severe illness, such as appendicitis, whose major symptom is pain."
That's irrelevant. The interesting functionality in this machine are the spools which cycle bands of colored material. If that material were colored with crayons or paint or threads would not change the behavior of the machine or the effect. The texture of the material might slightly change the appearance, but at the scale in the video I doubt it makes a difference, and different textures (e.g., textile) can easily be simulated.

> "people turn down jobs in Jersey City and Brooklyn to stay in Manhattan (avoiding reverse commute)."

Sometimes, but also sometimes to avoid a double-commute.

I used to work in Brooklyn (Dumbo) while living in Manhattan, the reverse commute was actually really nice. The trains were mostly empty every single day, both going to work and leaving!

But it was also very restrictive in terms of where you can live to get a decent commute - for Dumbo you had to live along the F train, otherwise it's multiple transfers to get where you need to go. Not fun.

Coworkers from Queens had it worst - they had a regular old commute into Manhattan, and then a second commute out of it into Brooklyn.

There is an unfortunately pretty good reason for companies to stay in Manhattan, the transit infrastructure just isn't set up well for anything else.

What's funny is that one of Stallman's arguments for GPL over BSD style licenses, i.e. Free vs. Open licenses, is specifically about the code being used for nefarious purposes, like DRM. In this case it's used to create something even more sinister, but by all accounts they are following the licensing by keeping the source open.

So it says more to me about picking a license that you are comfortable with, and understanding that based on that choice it's going to possibly be used in the worst way that you could imagine.

Ocean acidification scares the crap out of me, in a way that the rest of climate change doesn't.

Fact is, a lot of the rest of the chaos that is predicted from climate change is, on a long baseline, a more or less normal state of affairs.

So the oceans are going to rise, flooding out couple billion coastal residents over the next 50 years? Sucks for them, sure, but actually that's a slower rate of population-dislocation than we've seen over the last 50 years from rural-urban migrations. Shame about the sunk costs and lost nations and all that, but civilisation has lived through worse, and will go on.

So the rising and warming oceans are going to drown the great coral reef ecosystems? No problem -- every coral reef in the world was drowned by the great meltwater pulses at the end of the last Ice Age. They reconstituted themselves after a few thousand years. They can do that again.

So the ice-free north pole is going to kill the polar bears? Yeah, probably, most of them -- but there've been ice-free north poles many previous times in the Polar bears' 2.5-million-year evolutionary history. Evidence suggests that during the warmest part of interglacial periods, they hybridise with Grizzlies and then re-speciate when the climate cools down again. They can cope -- and even if they can't, losing an apex predator isn't the worst thing that can happen to an ecosystem.

Losing the base of the food chain, however, is.

My point is not that climate change isn't real, or that humans aren't causing it, or that the disruptions it will cause won't be horrible and tragic and painful and expensive -- my point is that both ecosystems and civilisations are complex adaptive systems which have already proven themselves to be reasonably robust against exactly these sort of disruptions.

Ocean acidification is different than sea level rise and global warming, however. With ocean acidification, we're making an excursion unlike anything the planet has seen in 300 million years. There's simply no precedent that allows us to say "yeah, it's gonna hurt, but the world has already shown that it can cope with this kind of thing". It hasn't. As far as we know, this level of OA could produce a full trophic collapse -- and that isn't something that even I can't be cavalier about, as it would certainly be a civilisation-limiting (and possibly complex-life-limiting) event. Until we know for certain that the impacts of OA will be less severe than this, we should be doing everything we can to stop and reverse it.

> Assuming we can do new stuff now that we couldn't before, this opens the table to new variation, new problems, and new plausible solutions.

Right, but that's circular reasoning. Closed systems exist, there are things that can be understood so fully that you can't think of any new questions to ask about them that you don't already understand. What if we really did solve everything?

> So even though we might say we've solved NP hard problems, that allows us to define new problems of which are going to be more difficult to solve (unless the universe just stops forever or approaches an information uniformity). All that new variation is the new NP hard.

NP is a specific, well-defined category of things. It isn't remotely the class of the hardest problems we can think of. If NP=P that doesn't mean we can solve every problem easily. But it does mean we can solve a lot of important problems easily.
