What? Do I have an obsession with writing paragraphs or looking at source code? What you are saying doesn't make sense and doesn't engage the conversation. Instead you are being needlessly hostile. Besides, even if I did have an

Emphatically no. Time and again, new services have come out, for decades, that supposedly will help solve the versioning, collaboration, and reproducibility issues with academic papers. They never work, and the tools are always misused in t

The fact that there is only one commit is a bit disconcerting. It suggests that they edited, debugged, and modified the code "offline" until they felt it was "good enough" to share, so whatever revision history there was

At least in financial markets, it seems that over time, it has only become easier and cheaper for people with less money to purchase liquidity and participate on demand in some of the same markets as wealthy people. While there still are pe

They could use git with fancy pre-commit hooks and connect their repo to travis-ci to check every push for software and mathematical correctness, and I would still complain if it's not transparent exactly what code was used for the p

Unfortunately, I don't have a Bitbucket account because I don't approve of Atlassian, so I can't. But hopefully someone here who does use Atlassian products will do it?

This is admittedly extremely naive, but won't liquidity simply become a service that commands a premium? In finance, you see the entry of market makers who provide liquidity when you need it, in exchange for collecting a premium (the b

But they didn't even bother to cite a tagged release or even a specific commit. Presumably, master will change and could be different than when the paper was published. I guess you could compare dates (although, who knows how far prior

What do you mean? I'm not saying such hard data exists, but data showing that race/gender/orientation/etc are not related to being under-represented as founders (after accounting for base rates) or as funding winners, an

I think you are exceptionally lucky for race not to have been more of a negative factor in your experiences. So while we can be glad that your path has been as you describe, we cannot let your anecdotal experience cause us to feel like the

Another route is to compile via Cython with the interpreter embedded. https://github.com/cython/cython/tree/master/Demos/embed You could take your existing Python code and simply change the .py exte

The point is not to split hairs between cubicles vs. fully open-plan. Both are unacceptable. The point is to show how Graham himself regarded private offices for every developer as a bang-simple, completely obvious requirement, going so far

How many tarmac earmuff people do you see getting promoted to a senior position? This sort of thing, even if it's unfair, absolutely lowers your status in the company. In one previous job with a noisy open-plan office, I actually tried

I've done things like this before with recruiters I've worked with in the past. They have only ever said that every position they are working on would offer a salary too low to compete even with what I currently made, let alone th

The company bears far less risk than the employee. The company can easily fire you if it doesn't work out, whereas most employees can't suddenly leave a job that treats them badly. So employees can ask lots of questions about comp

Candidates don't know this about you and have no a priori reason to trust you or believe it. Since most other corporate negotiators are far more predatory than you, it means candidates are better off adopting a unilateral strategy in w

Most of the research on the introversion / extraversion workplace effects very strongly focuses on the spectrum aspect, and decidedly eschews the binarism that has held us back from correctly accommodating human beings at work.

Hilarious that Bloomberg published this -- a company famous for no offices and a leader who is insistent that if he can work without an office, so can everyone else, with zero consideration for legitimate physiological differences between

This topic has a lot to do with introversion. There is even some formal research on the way that introverted styles interact with extroverted styles in the workplace, such as "Reversing the extraverted leadership advantage: The role of

This is actually an excellent point, and I can't believe I didn't think of this. If I am the first one to bring up salary, and I request a range because I want to make sure that nobody is wasting their time, then they clearly get

lol, that software answer is great. I would offer to write some software for them that treats salary info as optional.

Most people probably agree with you, but it doesn't mean founders or start-up execs will see it that way. And there's no way to know why they might cause a problem over it. It could be that they've seen a lot of people sellin

Have those organizations successfully negotiated working conditions? I mean we do have things like IEEE, ACM, various societies. Membership in them pretty much doesn't mean anything.

That is a mind-boggling comment. I've mostly avoided applying there because they are so over the top with advertising their extreme investment into huge open-plan spaces. It was such a huge cultural turn off that I figured there was no

A lot of recruiters say that it's not about ensuring the candidate gets the lower end of their expected range, but that's just what they say. I actually have a friend who worked at one of the aggressive boutique recruiting firms

I think this is a major factor, but it has still happened to me even when interviewing for boutique jobs via a friend's reference or happening to know someone who already worked there. A fair amount of the interviews I accept come from

That sounds an awful lot like a cryptographic protocol to me. And CNN told me that cryptography helps terrorists. ... You're a witch!
