I have pseudo-coded on blackboards many times, which is really what a blackboard coding interview should be. If you get a ding for writing .foreach instead of .forEach, that seems a bit picky ;)

However I realize I may have a bias as I do ok on most blackboard coding interviews I have done.. maybe been stumped 1 time out of 15 or so in my life? Some of it is a skill, that the more you do the better you get at it, but being good at it does not make you good at actual coding.
From what I know the exact ways it's done are usually kept as trade secrets because it's a very difficult thing to do and you want to recoup all the research costs of it, but wikipedia has some high level ways it's done:

I think making the subtitle of the project 'Webm for retards' might have something to do with it.

It's possible this project was reported by an offended user. If it is automated I expect other projects that use the word 'retard' as a project name or subtitle might have email notifications giving them some length of time to change or be banned.
I agree, and although they're "just" a symptom they are a particularly haunting one. The taboo surrounding these deaths doesn't help, either.

"We’ve seen videos of innocent black citizens gunned down by the police that is supposed to protect them"

Really? Where are these videos. I think I only saw one video making the rounds where this was the case. The rest was speculation and mob mentality. "Hands up Don't shoot", for instance, never happened.

"We’ve seen a community devastated by a terrorist attack that can only be described as pure, premeditated evil"

This sort of "evil" happens almost every day in the inner city. Chicago, for instance, had 7+ shootings in only one weekend. Why are we focusing on the one rare nutcase and someone making it into proof that an entire community of people are racist (ironic that this is exactly what we are trying to stop: judging an entire group of people on one person's actions).

How about the college event in Ohio that stated that only "African Americans" can attend and the guy (who was not African American" filming was pushed around and bullied??

How about the trans-gendered guest on the Dr. Drew HLN show that not only put his hand around the another guest's throat he was supposed to be debating, but threatened him with violence??

"It was only recently, when White-on-Black police brutality and terrorism began to surface in the news,"

How can you possibly call this "terrorism"?? In nearly all cases I've seen so far, the police offers asked the person in question to stop or comply..and they resisted, which resulted in a use of justified force.

"that I was turned on to a stream of different voices. Reading the #drivingwhileblack tweets"

Which is bullshit. I'm not black and have gotten stopped multiple times in my life for things I considered bullshit. If you give the cop an attitude, you will suffer the consequences. If you comply and are cool about everything the officer asks, he will let you go or write you a ticket.

You need to think about it from his/her perspective: If you overpower the officer, they could lose their life.

"I think we need to readily acknowledge that we are racist,"

Speak for yourself. I give everyone an equal chance, regardless of race. It's their actions later that determine whether I like them or not. I'm sick and tired of the thought police somehow trying to convince me that I'm racist.

If the majority of people in this country were really racist, we wouldn't have people of color in pretty much every position of power and occupation..including the presidency.
In my experience Celery brings more cost in complexity than value. It's got several abstraction layers to make a variety of backends (Redis, Mongo, relational DBs) all look more or less like AMQP.

My life got better when I stopped using Celery and instead started using Redis or RabbitMQ directly. It's not that hard.
Yeah I've changed numbers 6 or more times

1. First cell phone

2. Changed providers before it was easy to port your number so just got a new phone and new number at the same time

3. Moved to an area where there was no coverage so cancelled #2 phone and we consolidated as a household to just my wife's phone

4,5,6+ re-activations on a prepaid line that give me a new number every time. I will activate my old cell when I'm travelling and forward my business line to it but it doesn't make sense to keep it active all the time since I don't get service at my house. I also work from home so a business land line is all I need.

The Trouble with Requirements
They are effective because:

- They use more parameters (and fewer computations per parameter.)

- They are hierarchical (convolutions are apparently useful at different levels of abstraction of data).

- They are distributed (word2vec, thought-vectors). Not restricted to a small set of artificial classes such as parts-of-speech or parts of visual objects.

- They are recurrent (RNN).

Tthis is a devastating loss for all involved. Nóirín was active in Open Source, but something lesser known is that she was a founding director of Digital Rights Ireland; who recently succeeded in a legal challenge against European Data retention.

Nóirín was also a life-long volunteer Medic with St. John's ambulance in Ireland: http://www.stjohn.ie . I'm certain her family would appreciate any condolences or donations in her name.

I spoke with Nóirín's mother and brother this morning, and they know that she had a huge impact on people, and "on the web" (to use her proud mother's words), but I think it's worth making concrete. If you have a story or testimonial about how Nóirín helped or inspired you (and I know there are many), please send it on to colm@allcosts.net and I'll make sure to pass it on.
Removing Uber seems to defeat the purpose of this a bit. After all, the goal of venture investing is pretty much "find the Ubers". Most of the "rules" don't actually apply to Uber. For example:

Rule 1 - Uber had no female founders.

2 - Travis and Garrett were "older" founders.

3 - Neither went to a "top school".

4 - Neither worked for one of the name brand companies listed.

5 - Both were repeat founders. If included, FRC's investments in repeat founders would likely perform much better than first-time founders.

8 - Uber is based in the Bay Area. If included, FRC's investments in "Big Tech Hubs" would likely perform much better than outside of tech hubs.

A couple of the other rules might also not apply to Uber (don't have enough data to assess).

On the whole this is a well-intentioned exercise but I wonder if the exclusion of Uber doesn't lead to wrong conclusions.
The best Go bot approach (as of some years ago, but it's not like neural networks are a new idea) uses a very different strategy. Specifically, the strategy of "identify a few possible moves, simulate the game for several steps after each move using a very stupid move-making heuristic instead of using this actual strategy recursively, and then pick the move that yielded the best simulated board state".
Have you considered American Apparel? I migrated my wardrobe of t-shirts over to the 2001 Fine Jersey Short Sleeve (and some BB401 50/50 Poly Cotton). It's available in multiple colors including navy blue, you can order online, and they have stores in many big cities across the world - useful if you need to refresh your wardrobe while travelling overseas. The 2001 is their mainstay, it isn't going anywhere.

For suits & formal shirts I like Indochino[1], who do online made-to-measure. They do cycle their styles, so you might want to stock up if you see something you like. Try a small order first, can take a couple of goes to get the measurements just right.

New Balance seem good for shoes, the quality isn't always great but the sizing seems reliable. Easy online ordering (via Amazon or their Australian site) or you'll find them in stores everywhere.

I tried H&M myself, until they discontinued the small black short-sleeve shirts I loved. I searched every store in several cities (in several countries!) to no avail...

Ditto for a lot of the words we use as synonyms for "stupid".

There's actually an entire ranking for those with disabilities - just below a "normal" person was the "feeble-minded", which ranked ahead of a "moron", which was more functional than an "imbecile" which was the last step before an "idiot".

This was all common parlance in the 19th and 20th century.

So explain to me again why retard is specifically offensive.
But where do you draw the line? Would you have the pro-choice crap on your site? How about the pro-life crap? Either way, you're going to offend someone, and host some "crap" on your site.
Nothing is more natural than having opinions organically cultivated by the nature fallacy.
Good points. I guess your argument might vary by crop though. So I'm curious if there are crops that are closer to that economic threshold. Mangos?
At Uber we use redis as a broker for 10k+ requests per second (pushing 50k one some days) with up to several million items backed up. This is a single redis instance with replication turned on and RDB snapshots for durability.

Curious how our use patterns are different that causes what you're seeing.
"There are four key values for Humane Development. They’re empathy, honesty, trust, and autonomy... Developers, they may feel, especially the autonomy piece, they don’t have a lot of control over in their current job. What can they do? Really, only the last one of those four values, the autonomy piece, requires manager buy-in, and even then not a ton."

While this sounds nice in theory, many developers just don't have enough power in their workplace environment to really put these values into practice by themselves. They really do need buy-in and support not only from their managers, but from their coworkers as well. (How many of us have worked with the "cowboy" on the team, who looks like a hero to management while creating problem after problem for his coworkers? Or the product designer who doesn't want to let anyone else have input?)
> (...) any decision other than what you would have made is "irrational."

Of course! How would rationality be independent of one's values? When I'm choosing, I choose what I choose because I think the other options are, even if very slightly, worse than the one I'm choosing. If I know the full context, options and the decision made from another individual and that decision isn't the one I would make, I would call it irrational and that would be my opinion. That situation could mean that we don't share the same values/beliefs or have different information.

My curiosity stated in my comment was genuine as one would expect higher information equality and similar values/beliefs among the people in the same community compared to a random set of people. However, my experience is different. Even when new information becomes available, I see people bending their values to keep their previous decisions "rational" and interestingly this, if you ask me, is more common in the tech world.

> (...) jerks like you (...)

I think that was uncalled for, but then, I guess you have strong beliefs in this area. Have a nice day.
Are you saying that if one uses a criterion that incidentally correlates with race that is racism? And wouldn't a correction for this itself cause a much more disturbing racist exercise ie; profiling every possible data point against race and forever maintaining such profiles?

The most awesome and surprising thing about this is that the whole thing runs locally on your smartphone! You don't need network connection. All dictionaries, grammar processing, image processing, DNN - the whole stack runs on phone. I used this on my trip to Moscow and it was truely god send because it didn't need expensive international data plans (assuming you have connectivity!). English usage is fairly rare in Russia and it was just fun to learn Russian this way by pointing at interesting things.

Really now.

Sexism in all of its forms is bad. That includes feminism AND masculinism.

Usually, free software comes with privacy and privacy comes with free software, so the first thing that you should look for is the distribution's policies on free software. Distributions like Debian and Fedora, for example, have a strong commitment to free software (see Debian's Social Contract[0] and Fedora's licensing guidelines[1]) and are not going to spy on you or put ads on your system. The Free Software Foundation maintains a list of distributions that contain only free software[2], and these distributions aren't going to collect your data and send it to third parties without your consent either.

Ubuntu, on the other hand, does not have such a commitment to free software, and has included Amazon ads in the Unity dash in the past.

Maybe you should read my comment again? It's that ThreeJS abstraction library that's slow and why it's not okay to say it's a WebGL demo, it's a Three.js demo. As you can see with comments above people blame it to WebGL is slow - which is simply incorrect as WebGL is based on OpenGL ES 2.0 and exposed as HTML5 API. If you hand tune the JS and shader code WebGL can be very fast and short startup time. You won't get that benefits from generic fat libraries.

Ironically, the rules of reddit [1] are IMO pretty good guidelines. A code/document-hosting website would probably also want to specify something like "nothing illegal", to avoid DMCA/piracy/copyright issues.

Obviously, reddit doesn't abide by it's own rules. That would require balls of steel (or equivalent for corporations), especially in the face of controversies such as The Fappening.

ADS-B being a broadcast would also notify anyone else listening to ADS-B broadcasts allowing for the potential of a golden age of drone piracy. Which would be quite profitable if you could avoid being caught.

ADS-B broadcasts contain a unique ICAO code, 6 hexidecimal characters filled in by the Transponder. The collision avoidance logic is handled by the TCAS unit on aircraft.

While new collision avoidance logic is being developed for unmanned vehicles in order to allow them to legally fly in airspace once the FAA restrictions are changed from see and avoid to sense and avoid, when it is released implementing it on an air frame will not be cheap, or light so will be reserved for larger drones. Think about 100k and 20-30 lbs in equipment for an ACAS-Xu Unit, Transponder, and antenna.

And because ADS-B is an internationally used system, changes like the addition of new messages to provide any other information commercial entities wanted their drone to provide would be unlikely to happen quickly if at all, as they would have to go through committee review.
Some Patent lawsuits are taken on contingency (the winning lawers get a good size cut).

This isn't common. See Jarg corp which was basically out of cash, then hired lawyers on contingency (with patents licensed from Northeastern University) then sued google. I think google paid northeastern in a settlement.
No wonder the results skew towards elite education, they measure performance by market value. Your market value, under a certain threshold in terms of company size, is dominated by your network. Which the top schools are very good at providing. I wonder what difference would it make if First Round analysed revenue and profitability instead of market value.
Her first name is pronounced "No-reen" for those wondering.
what scares me about these things is what typically happens when people are given probabilistic prognoses. your behavior is analyzed, a system makes a prediction, "60% chance of XY". whoever reads the result is primed to think XY is already true, or almost true. just look at the way scientific results are accepted in the public. qualify it all you like, the effect it leaves seems to me to be stronger than the actual result.

we're already forced in many ways to indirectly signal our responsibility. e.g. we dress in suits for a reason. this is unavoidable to some extent, of course. but, if in the future some trivial constellation of facts which we can not influence starts to cast shadows over our possibilities, the world will become completely schizophrenic.

This article touches on some ideas about developer psychology also present in David Maister's book Managing the Professional Service Firm: basically that many professionals, whether in IT or law/accounting/consulting/engineering/etc, share a desire for excellence, recognition, and autonomy. There is a lot more in that book that applies very well to programmers, in my opinion.

I also like the point about being skeptical of named development processes. The ancient writer Galen advised learning from all the schools of philosophy but belonging to none of them. I take the same approach to software development methodologies. The only risk there I think is that "agile" becomes just another name for chaos. If you have pathological culture, it might be better to pick a named process (any one!) and adopt it. But if people are "humane", that is hopefully not necessary.

I consider myself to have a lot of mental stamina. I can focus for hours if I have to, and sometimes to job really requires it, e.g. you need to get something fixed for a customer. I don't consider this an unreasonable part of the job, but it takes a mental and physical toll that needs to be managed. As I get older (early 30's now) I expect to have less inclination and ability to do this kind of intense mental workout, and therefore move more towards management. My understand is that manual workers like builders tend to do a similar career transition.
