A good interview exercise (not necessarily vouching for fizzbuzz here) allows depth of discussion past the initial answer. It is in this discussion stage where I spend the majority of my time with a good candidate.

In such a discussion we might talk about whether it makes sense to make the /15 case "fall out" naturally. Using your example, there's an implicit assumption that the requirements would change to {4: fizz, 5: buzz, 20: fizzbuzz}, but in real life I've found things have the annoying tendency to change to, e.g. {4: fizz, 5: buzz, 15: fizzbuzz}.
FWIW, eating once a day is recommended in the "Hacker Diet" book, written by the author of Autocad. The book says multiple (smaller) meals are fine too, but you have to read it yourself, I won't do it justice here.
Author here. I linked to your post and there are comments on the blog (which you took advantage of). No need to be pissed off. I still disagree with this particular point (and I'm not sure why you say I took that quote out of context), despite your clarification. But overall I think you provide a lot of good and valuable advice that might be counterintuitive to younger devs entering the corporate world.
What do prisons even have to gain from sterilizing inmates? It's not like they're in an environment where they could be expected to become pregnant. It seems like cruelty for cruelty's sake.
6.5 out of 10 for Macbooks seems way too high to be realistic. The list of parts that a user can replace/repair would be very short.
I agree. I am glad my 2018 Volt has nice big buttons right below the screen, both for radio controls and climate controls. It is also nice to have a few unique controls on the steering wheel, as opposed to the new trend I'm seeing where there are thumb rollers and selectors on the wheel.

The only thing it is missing is a dedicated air conditioning button! I guess the car thinks it is smart enough to turn ac on if the temperature setting is low.
Can you be more specific?

What technical thing can achieve the goal you want? No metaphors.

You absolutely can do this (unless I am misunderstanding your point in which case, my apologies).

That's why there are dozens of journals in things like linguistic typology and language variation and change. There are linguists whose entire careers have been generating a sort of conceptual mapping between the morphology, syntax and phonology of spoken languages to sign languages so that you can have sensible conversations about the typological relationship between a signed language and a spoken one.

See the research of eg Diane Brentari at Chicago or Diane Lillo-Martin at UConn or Wendy Sandler at UT Austin.
This is not true, the navigation option for Lexus has included a touchscreen for decades.
> Which interview do you perform better on?

You pose this question as if the answer were obvious, but I'm not only stupid enough not to see it, I can actually think of couple of reasons it could go either way, and they do not feel construed (to me, anyway). On several occasions I've asked people enrolled a couple years ahead of me about their favorite subjects and pet projects and whatnot, and while they were friendly and everything, they were uncomfortable reflecting about their schooling in front of a (relative) stranger, and they grew even more uncomfortable when I tried to coax them to discuss our discipline by talking about my own pet projects or struggles.

On the other hand, It's perfectly normal for interviewee to be nervous and underperform, and twenty minutes of chat on relevant and familiar topic would seem to dissipate impact somewhat.
crashplan looks great. but is anyone else skeptical about the unconditional "unlimited" offerings?

I have a Mac Pro with 5+TB of storage. Lots of HD home videos and photos.
Yep, I live here too (and not in Williamsburg but closer to Brighton Beach). Brooklyn is hustler's paradise. Some people I know do stuff online that will make this guy look like an amateur.

I think I'd prefer the 4-day, 8-hour-per-day work week over the 6-hour work day.
I am sure there are many different groups here! But yah, there are definitely folks that will be happy. I was just trying to say that, beyond Twitch being within its rights, people can still yell at them and say they shouldn't (or should) do it. No need to leave it at "this is legal and in line with previous behavior."
At this point they must be like a deer in front of the flashlights, hoping the car will dodge them.
Sakurai is very clear, IMO, but requires a better understanding of linear algebra than a typical undergraduate text. But if you know linear algebra well, QM is pretty straightforward...
Does the law apply here? https://about.fb.com/news/2021/04/facts-on-news-reports-abou... says the breach was in 2019. What was the CA law at that time?
I'm getting annoying flashes on the website every time I switch to a new page with the error message

> "Layout was forced before the page was fully loaded. If stylesheets are not yet loaded this may cause a flash of unstyled content. content.js:84:32"

Seems like a weird thing to happen on a static website.
Happens on Firefox 87.0, not on Chrome.
So it wasn't too long ago that the news got head of the Facebook "Supreme Court" that is supposedly even above mr Zuckerberg. I wonder what would happen if you'd appeal to them about this blatant disregard of sovereign laws worldwide. I don't know a single country that does not have some law in place forcing the leaker to notify the user. Obviously barrely any country does it, and if so, Booking just got a laughable 400k fine in the Netherlands for not notifying in time (though they eventually did just too late). I'm sure Facebook will get away with it. One thing I've learned s that theirs barrely a better time to buy big tech stock when they've announced a data leak. Though others seem to have caught on with that sentiment as the stock has been rising.
We love PBS kids for my 2,4,6 year olds. I don't feel I've seen any content I'd consider politicized on there.
So if I say bad things on Twitch OR ELSEWHERE, that this is “their speech”? I disagree, but what you are saying is Twitch is a publisher, not a platform?

If Twitch can’t be compelled to publish my unpopular comments, then any comments they do publish should be legally theirs, and if illegal be held liable for them? Something tells me you aren’t on board anymore.

Are you trying to have it all-the-ways? That Citizens United is wrong and companies don’t have free speech, but also that companies don’t need to recognize free speech but can retain their platform status (when convenient), then also Citizen’s United is right and companies have any speech they want if it means restricting yours?

Quick question... socially, what do we do when I’m banned from Twitch for saying something NOT ON TWITCH that was at the time unpopular but eventually proven correct? Or similarly let’s say I quote the CDC website but am banned because the data is unpopular. Or lastly I quote something that was true at the time according to “official sources” (sarcasm detectable) but later incorrect and I’m retro actively banned?

Instead of all this shifting convenience and liquid enforceability... maybe we just stick to free speech and take the small bad with the giant good? Seems morally just and logically reasonable to me.
If you're in Europe you can file a complaint with your local data protection agency. They will definitely already have some investigation on Facebook so this just adds more to it.
1) You might be able to implement sufficiently smart bots that seem like real people. Only use this technique in the beginning, and as soon as you get some real players, kill the bots

2) You can pay a bunch of people far away to play the game for two weeks, and during those two weeks ramp up your real-time presence (as in, actively tweet and hang out in gaming forums and just dedicate yourself to shameless self-promotion)
Generating and caching are orthogonal questions. You can generate stuff, and then cache it. And in fact HN does do a lot of caching.

I wasn't asking how much faster "semantically correct markup" would make HN pages render as a rhetorical question. I'm genuinely curious. If you want to make claims that x is faster than y, you should be prepared to back them up with numbers, not merely with more heated language.
Just break the advertising business model. Literally that's it. Don't allow data sharing with advertisers, and don't allow political advertising, solved. Overnight the internet's better.
Night sight for normal night photography, absolutely. Taking pictures in low-light situations is common. Astrophotography on the other hand is much less common.
I find it hard to believe the real damage is from alarmism and not denialism and luke warmerism
That's the only way for mobiles to get decent results though. They're so physically limited (sensor size, fixed aperture, lens size, &c.) that the original files are horrendous to look at.

What google is doing with their pixel phones is magic, they turned a normal camera into a very very good one. I'm still impressed every time I use night sight. The drawback, as always, is that as soon as you zoom in or see the pictures on a large screen (or printed) it's painfully obvious that they're heavily post processed. It almost look like an abstract painting or an AI generated image (which it almost is).
Fantastic looking product, and the first year of service for the price of a beer is a great value. Just hooked it up with my own domain to track spam offenders and eventually migrate off gmail entirely.
I commend you for aligning your actions with your principles.
> Why should flat-earth or anything ridiculous be shouted down?

Why are you still sexually molesting squirrels? Oh, you're not sexually molesting squirrels? When did you stop?

(Stop for a moment to think about that before you go on.)

I never said that "flat-earth or anything ridiculous be shouted down". In fact, I said the exact opposite.

But there is a real problem with flat-eartherism and related conspiracy theories in that they cannot be combatted by reason. If you repeat a meritless claim often enough people will come to perceive it has having merit and being worthy of serious consideration despite the fact that it has no merit. And it's particularly effective if you cloak the meritless claim in a facade of intellectual inquiry, as I did above. And it's extra effective if the meritless claim is emotionally charged. (Those poor, innocent squirrels!)

If such tactics go unchallenged it can cause real problems.
I've seen some very expansive definitions of "subsidy" that include, for example, not taxing carbon emissions. In that case, you couldn't just divert the money, because it never existed in a budget.

You could implement a carbon tax, and I'd be all for that, but it wouldn't be in the same policy class as diverting an existing stream of budgetary money.
Corporations do not care one bit for

> lives of all those users

Equifax cares about one thing: earning profits for its shareholders. They got caught with their pants down. Now other companies can look and try to estimate their expected cost of being breached (probability of being breached multiplied by the dollar cost) vs the dollar cost to upgrade their IT systems, infrastructure, management, company policies, etc etc etc. Realistically, Equifax is probably incapable of doing the necessary changes upfront without a complete overhaul of it's people and leadership structure.

The vast majority of companies will spend the least amount of money possible to pretend that they fixed the problem.

You want companies to care? Then create regulation that protects

Sounds to me that VS/.Net with OzCode installed does most of what you want.
the mistake in nutrition was to think that fat is the dominant factor. In reality, if you eat too much sugar, too much fat, not enough vitamins, exercise too little or too much, don't take care of your mental health, drink too much caffeine, smoke, drink too little or too much or just have bad genes you have a chance to get health problems. There is no dominant single factor you can focus on to be healthy for sure.
It's definitely the poor man's "good job" (I say that as a poor man) - med school is just not accessible to most people. At the very least, it's not accessible to the poor without laser-focus and being very lucky for about 15 years between about 15 and 30. Oh, and living on scraps.
Programming is easy. Organizing code is hard. Maintaining and operationalizing programs is hard.
Google funds Mozilla because of this (keeping them around as puppet competition) and also because of their market share.

However, with browsers like Brave, Edge, and Vivaldi rising and Firefox's market share falling, Google doesn't need Firefox as its puppet much longer to avoid antitrust scrutiny, and Firefox's dwindling share reduces the value of it's userbase and thus the default search engine contract, so I would not be surprised if Google eventually cuts the funding.
None or low entry barriers are an issue in lots of places. Even making a proper coffee is a craft you can't aquire just by googling around in a rainy evening (throwing hot water on pre-ground beans does not qualify you as a barista). Difference is you can only damage a coffee for the moment, not a whole software suite for many years to come.
I'm not sure. I've been both a pilot and a software engineer and the narratives are very different. I've also helped people get into both fields (owned a flight school, mentored programmers).

I don't think I've head anybody say "Anyone can be a pilot!". Becoming a pilot is inaccessible. There are medical qualifications. It's expensive. A degree helps a lot (or is required) for airline jobs.

Self-limiting beliefs keep _some_ people from being pilots. So there are outreach events (Young Eagles being one) that introduce people to flying. The military recruits at events. But it's more this "maybe you could be a pilot. just consider it." vibe.

Programming is accessible (as the article points out). I spent less than $200 in materials to get a good job as a software engineer. (Throw in $500 for a computer if you want). Self limiting-beliefs make up a much larger component (but not all!) of why people can't become professional software engineers.

I think this leads to people overreaching during the outreach phase. If it's only a few hundred dollars, focus and time, then the only thing stopping you is yourself! Well, no.

Let's just start at the left end of the curve and acknowledge there are adults who can't count to five. They're humans, they're people, they're part of "anybody", but they absolutely will never be programmers. And then it's just a spectrum from there.

The reality (like most realities) is more complex than can what fit on a sticker. Some people think they can't program, but could. You don't have to be great at math, but it can help and they're similar mindsets. An expensive education isn't required, but helps with careers.

Programming is hard. But maybe you can do something harder than you think.
If it takes off (huge if), it's more likely to be taken over by the fans of a few people with prominence (deserving or not), a few will end up talking about "controversial" topics and people will split between "the nice place shouldn't be about non-nice things" and "what is nice".
It is worth bearing in mind that this was, as noted at the start of the guardian piece, originally written as a reply on a forum. I don't think it is best to interpret what the author has written as a political argument about the objective "external" nature of reality, but rather as a personal, subjective statement of her own experience. I think if you reread it in that light then it'll probably seem much more reasonable.

> Fine, but then the author is using an exaggerated and wrong feeling to emphasize this point, even though reality might not be that bad.

To me, this statement is synonymous with the "telling people to "just get on with things"" that I was suggesting was not very helpful in my previous post. The key issue is that the things that compound her already difficult situation are not things that are easily quantified like the money in her bank account, but more intangible things like how she feels every day. These things are difficult to measure and so easy to dismiss, but that doesn't make them less significant for the people who experience them.

Was with you until basic income guarantee. Who guarantees that income and from whom will they take it to guarantee for you?

I agree, it doesn't make sense for everyone to 'work' and with any luck the future holds for us more time for leisure, creativity and enjoyment - but when you consider my argument above, perhaps a more sustainable, morale route to achieve such a vision is by means of a healthy, fair and open economy - one that makes it easy for anyone to earn a living by pursuing their own interests, passions or hobbies.
i suppose, except my last name is "LaRock" and i have had the nickname "Rockstar" for going on 30 years...it just seemed to fit nicely.
A better option would be just to break up the company. Companies of this size probably should not be allowed to exist in the first place.
Capital One customer here! This is interesting to hear. Capital One's website is easily one of, if not the most annoying bank website I've engaged with in memory, inclusive of behemoths like BofA, regional banks, and a local credit union.
Boeing belongs to the USA, so US citizens will take the punishment then. Am I right?
But, when I do switch ISPs I still get the exact same internet. When I switch phone carriers, I can still use SMS to message anybody who uses SMS.

When I switch from WhatsApp to GroupMe, I have an entirely different set of conversations. They are totally separate systems.

Also, if you were willing to switch to a satellite or LTE carrier, would you be able to switch? If you did switch, you still have "the internet".
As a Canuck I'm enthused about an increased adoption of nuclear energy. It's far safer than coal or oil, and is able to generate energy on-demand. It's a great pairing to solar, wind, and hydro.
> Mint on the other hand is totally useless.

That's hyperbole. Having a bird's eye view of every single account, transaction, investments, net worth, etc. is "totally useless"? No.

I use Mint and it works quite well for keeping an eye on your financial life at a glance. I don't need some micro-managey software like YNAB (that I'd have to pay for monthly!) to continually increase my wealth and keep debt in check - here's my tricks:

* Pay off credit card in full every month (I have one card that I use for gas, etc.)

* Invest 20% into company-matched 401k, my Roth, etc. primarily focused on S&P 500 Index Funds

* Save roughly $275/check into a liquid savings account.

* I have no car payment (paid of my 2010 Subaru that I got for $9k).

* Everything on autopay.

* Don't buy stupid nonsense.

It's worked well thus far. There's no real "need" to budget - KISS principle wins the day again.
3.5" disks are less durable. The sliding door snags inside the drive. This destroys both the disk and the drive.
"driving 5 miles below the (already low) speed limit"

I've driven at insane speeds in the past, I've also driven in ways that can only be described as nearly insane. I can't say I'm proud of that but I've still survived to 50 (so far). Most of the time I would describe my driving style as safe with occasional relapses 8)

I'm a Brit so I'm not familiar with Highway 1 but a quick search seems to show it is a CA road. My first virtual run on it shows three lanes on both sides, so I'll head north to SF. OK one lane. It's a provincial coastal road with adjustments.

Either get a car with a massive acceleration and overtake or enjoy the view. The speed limits are there for a good reason and I've driven a fair bit in the US (mostly FL and NY) and I don't find your limits mad. You could also lobby whoever builds roads to add another lane where you want it. On that last: in the UK we are 50 years into debating adding another lane to the A303 at some points. For some reason people are a bit wound up about the bit that goes past Stonehenge. The A303 is the super fast (lol) upgrade for the A30 (which is still there) that links London to the south west of England. It stops rather oddly at Ilminster, where it becomes the A30 again.

A relative of mine did the "compulsory purchase" of land through Hampshire, Wiltshire and Somerset for the A303, back in the day.

I live in Yeovil, Somerset, UK. To go north to say Bristol, I have two options: A37 or A372 and M5. Parts of the A37 are virtually Roman road with tarmac slapped on top 8) the A372 goes through Ilchester (formally a Roman town). Both of those roads are a bit slow but with speed limits from 30 to 60 mph. They are both delightful to drive in 3D - I love getting gears right with just the right amount of power (we have gears in our cars here 8)

Anyway, why not calm down and enjoy the view. What I've virtually seen of Highway 1 tells me that it is a road to be enjoyed and cherished and loved.
I mean honestly this is the entrepreneurial feat of a century. Get your company VC funded to the point of hiring 23 employees. Build your name, do all your failing, learn everything about the market with VC money. Then throw the employees AND the VCs in the dumpster and keep the core asset for yourself, rebuilding it into a $11 million business with contractors, so that you don't have to worry about things like their healthcare plan or giving them equity. The execution is just over the top unbelievable.
> Well I did mention that most of Asia is racist right?

I thought only white people can be racist.
The 0s and 1s are specific to the examples. A range in nim `x..y` includes both x and y. Sequences are always 0-indexed. Now, if you want to start with 1 for any range you can.
Not sure where you got that idea. The entire purpose of SAQ A-EP is to bring the hosting site into PCI scope.

Are you arguing that it wouldn't be trivial to replace the iframe form with a malicious iframe form? or to add an event handler and capture credit card numbers from the form used to submit using stripe.js?

This is why SAQ A-EP exists! What you are saying was correct for PCI DSS v2.0
I know I am tempted to go back to the more technical side - though when a recruiter asked about working on the MET police's Registry I wasn't that keen :-)
Not to mention prisoners probably get all or nearly all their books from the library, and people outside of prison have many other options.
That's the problem, the Marines want to field their own superfluous air force. USN carriers routinely go to sea with understrength airwings, its not as if there's not enough room on CVNs to support Marine F-35Cs.
Not every new project is a SPA. It's completely possible to start a new project in 2015, which basically is a WEB SITE (with mobile views and everything, but basically a poor old website), in this case Rails is still the best option.
