No sane person would use their personal logins or private keys for customer work. Create ones for that project! Yes, it is a pain but having a bunch of expensive lawyers breathing down your neck is an even bigger one! You want to separate

Yes - and using fairly different criteria, with little emphasis on things like pedestrian protection or various safety systems (like automatic emergency braking). Which is where the current model lost big time as those are not available for

Not really, that's apples to oranges comparison comparing this to something like a Tesla, Ioniq or one of the large expensive electric SUVs. Something like Ioniq 5 is almost twice as big compared to a Zoe ... Zoe is an urban supermini,

I thought we did it (actually the ancient Chinese did) so that we don't have to pay in bags, wheelbarrows and horse carts of heavy (as in mass) metals whenever larger transaction needed to be made? But what do I know, conspiring about

Sorry that's utter BS. I have just passed an interview for my new job and it was none of the above. Yet very technical, still very involved - but with competent people on the other side that were showing they are as interested in getti

In other words - don't bother to apply if you actually need a job. And if you have a job already, why would you bother to apply there? It used to be attractive but is it still? With all the scandals and upheaval in the recent years?

It is also scripted. Google used to use internal people do to the screening but not anymore, they have outsourced it to agencies. And a random recruiting agency drone on the phone, paid minimal wage, can't be expected to ask sensible q

Google is notorious for this. I have been headhunted by them multiple times in the past. The last time their recruiter called me and explained me that after the usual screening and HR calls I would need to pass multiple increasingly complex

Probably the last thing you would want is an untrained kid to panic during the rescue. They would most likely kill both themselves and their rescuers in the process.

Sorry but it is not a robot publishing the "lifted" code but a human. So the copyright will very much apply. That's an argument like saying CTRL+C/CTRL+V is OK because it is a "computer doing it". Plus it is no

Ivermectin has been trialed also and has been available on experimental basis even in Europe - and it was found ineffective and is not recommended anymore. See: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle&#x2

That would cost an arm-and-leg, it would need to be done by someone who actually understands both the theory of proving algorithm corectness and the algo in question and systems like CoQ are from being able to prove large, complex systems.

That's a good question but for the wrong audience. Take it with the US Congress who has adopted so lopsided copyright law under the heavy lobbying of the music and movie industry in the wake of Napster.

That sounds like someone's academic career has just landed in the toilet ...

Which is completely fine, IMO, because,as pointed out already, the university's IRB has utterly failed here. There is no way how this sort of "research" could have passed an ethics review. - Human subjects - Intentionally mis

Well, basically this is someone trying to implement VSCode in Emacs ... Ain't gonna get far once the main developer loses interest in the project. Emacs users use Emacs because they want Lisp and don't care about web rendering and

Or you could just spray RAID or something similar and kill all the mosquitoes there for pennies. No laser, no bluetooth, no microphones. And if you want to actually solve the mosquito issue, don't have standing water around. Or make su

Good luck detecting a mosquito optically from a distance of several meters using a cheap camera and Raspberry Pi. Oh and you want to do from a moving drone. That will certainly make it work! Just look at the images in the article - the guy&

Yes, we all remember well what happened e.g. with Mt Gox. Not sure what your point here is - as if panic and runs on the banks were somehow magically prevented by crypto.

Then pick up a phone and call their references. A "paper tiger" with 10+ years experience (since we are talking a senior position) likely could not have just "winged it through" the entire time. Subjecting such person

That's BS. Verifiable credentials mean that you pick up a phone and call the references the candidate gave you. What you are describing is essentially "it varies widely in rigor - so we must subject every candidate to a full CS ex

And you want to say that such assessment is actually done during a job interview and not during, you know, actual surgeries? With a more senior doctor on the team evaluating (and likely mentoring) the new hire? Seriously?

The problem is that coding challenges are OK if you are hiring for an entry level position and need to make sure that the fresh grad can actually write some code at all (surprising amount of them does not). However, what exactly are you hop

by janoc 6y ago
And it proves what exactly? Except that they have lost out on a good hire only because that hire is not familiar with that particular programming language that the interview is.
