At least a few hours ago when we were submitting it kept returning a "message too long" error even for fairly short messages. Seems like a bug that was short lived cause there are many long posts now. So that is probably why the older posts are lighter on details.

> I’ve decided to leave the website link out in the interest of discouraging abuse of the tool.

I appreciate the sentiment, but I suspect this would be a more powerful demo if people actually found their own mother's maiden name. Anyone wanting to abuse it could find it trivially anyway (Google for "type your details below so we can start tracing your family", and you only get a single result).

I do wonder how complete the site's records are. I can find most of my family, but it doesn't seem to think I exist.

Edit: seems to be a weird search issue - given name + family name + year of birth returns multiple people who aren't me (with different given names / years of birth), but given name + middle name + family name + year of birth finds my details. Personally not too worried about it, as I use a random name in place of my mother's maiden name for banks etc., and have recommended to family that they do the same.

> Yes,you are correct: Qt uses themes and styles to configure its internally rendered widgets so they appear native.

Oh wow, I have developed QT applications and never even noticed that. Sure, on Linux I know that it draws the controls, are there are no standard controls. But I figured they just had a pretty good integration and didn't bother looking under the hood.

The illusion is pretty much pixel-perfect.

"Chose to grow slowly" is a great headline but that's not what happened.

Their business is fundamentally reliant on an accurate and high quality parts sourcing operation, which took years to build:

"To ensure it can provide any and all parts a customer’s repair could require, YourMechanic has had to build out a large catalog of parts from scratch, which took awhile. At the same time, just like any other services startup, it also had to perfect its operations before setting up shop in new markets."

Question is - is it worth the valuation thats put on the company. Given now they are cash flow positive - that they have lost $2bn in the past is immaterial.
Experienced Rails Developer | NYC

DESCRIPTION

Brickwork is a rapidly growing startup that is changing the way customers engage with brick & mortar stores, online. We are looking for senior software engineers to help us shape the product and the company while growing with us.

About you: You are an experienced full-stack Ruby on Rails developer comfortable working both on the front-end and back-end. You have a love of great products and the craft of coding. You are ready to have a big impact on our codebase, engineering process and culture. Ideally, you’re excited about helping to build strong engineering and product culture in NYC (this position is in our NYC office).

About us: We are a smart, efficient and fun team (if we say so ourselves) that has a great time working together. Brickwork is funded, has a strong customer pipeline and is poised for tremendous growth. We care far more for results than we do face time, but we certainly enjoy each others’ company. We also understand that there’s life outside the office, and that a well rounded team brings their best to work each day. This is a marathon and not a sprint and we are focused on building a company for the long haul.

REQUIREMENTS

* 2+ years’ Ruby or Rails experience

* Experience working on a large Rails codebase

* Computer science education a plus, but not essential (some of the sharpest developers we’ve worked with have transitioned from other fields)

Ideally you are:

* A driven, passionate, get-@&^$-done type

* Excited about working with a top-notch team with which you can share knowledge and mutual respect

* Unafraid to be opinionated and to think deeply about the product we’re building

BENEFITS

* Competitive compensation

* Generous equity grants

* Full medical benefits

Get in touch at EED4E17E51 AT jobs.workablemail.com with a product you have discovered recently and links to where we can learn more about you.

Except those terms were looked at very closely. I haven't heard anyone think through the impact of this on early stage startup turnover. This is introducing a massive incentive to leave that has never existed. It may promote shorter tours of duty.
I think we are close, but we have yet to reach peak hypocrisy detection. We could have a wiki of hypocrisy, where you can search for a certain person and find out all the times they contradicted themselves, possibly with justifications. (Maybe evidence changed their minds and they stand corrected.) We could have an hypocrisy rating weighted by influence on the matter. For example:

Mr. John Smith has contradicted himself x% of the time in matters where he has a strong influence and provided a justification backed by evidence for only y%. On z% of the topics he has contradicted himself, he has offer a threshold of evidence required to change his mind again. He has violated j% of those thresholds. All this gives him an overall coherency rating of k% which puts him in the nth in the ranking of his colleagues.

That would be peak hypocrisy.
Ah, I didn't notice the second ten-year span in your prediction. I still think your perspective is wildly optimistic, but it makes more sense now.

If the phrase was "1.6x speedup" then I would agree and not have commented. But the phrase is "1.6x faster", which is a bit ambiguous.

That there is disagreement among the commentariat both ways is indicative of ambiguity. (Though, I am assuming no trolling here.)

While not exactly analogous, try replacing it with a percentage and re-evaluate: What does "60% faster" mean and what does "160% faster" mean?
I've been wondering if stuff like this was the reason for initial growth spur of soviet union. It was easy for Lenin to see in 1923 that the country needed steel, food, housing and railroads. If you just churn out that stuff, you can't go wrong too much. But once those markets we're saturated in the 70's, you had no data provided by the markets about what to do. So the soviet union was pretty much doomed to that level of GDP.

Now I imagine it would be still relatively easy to take a country like Peru, turn communist and simply churn out steel, food, housing, install internet cables and improve roads. But you would hit a wall in decade or two.

Right, I completely agree with you. You can't really out-diversify the entire economy tanking.

But GP's claim seemed (to me) to be that that's exactly what university endowments do (or attempt to do). GP claimed that universities aren't looking for return or low volatility, they're looking to 'be fine' when the economy tanks. To check whether they succeeded, I looked at university endowment performance during a period when the economy tanked, and found that they still didn't do any better than an average index fund investor would have.
We use Slack and get a lot out of it. We've got people on two continents and it really helps.

Sounds like the problem was over-using Slack. I've left Slack channels before because... well... noise. We tend to have a pretty quiet Slack but when we do use it it's convenient and easy and faster than e-mail.

I still often use e-mail for longer-format discussions.
YourMechanic is interesting in that, unlike many other "on-demand" startups, the economics make a lot of sense. They are able to pay their mechanics more than a standard shop (eg. dealer) can pay, and at the same time generally offer same or lower rates for the consumer.

This is probably a combination of two factors: (1) unlike driving, repairing cars requires quite a bit of skill, so the mechanics have some protection against wage cuts (compare to Uber), and (2) a standard mechanic shop has overhead that YourMechanic does not.

"WordPress’ core team stance on bumping the PHP version requirement is two fold:

1. Too many WP users are still on old versions like 5.2 and 5.3
2. They don’t care about new "features""

If you really do power 20%+ of the websites out there, do you not perhaps have enough influence to influence a change? I could almost buy this reasoning 6-7 years ago. "If we start requiring PHP 5.1... all our users might flock to something else that still only needs 4.3! We better not push things too much".

A large segment of the hosting world caters to the wordpress user (casual and professional) and they will jump to whatever requirements Wordpress puts out. Where are they going to go? No one will want to upset this golden goose. WP, make version 5.0 require PHP 7 and be done with it. People will upgrade. They have no real choice - you've killed most any platform that might be a serious competitor for the next several years.

I work on SparkPost's app dev team - I know you've decided on another route but would love to understand what you were seeing. If you'd be willing to share details with developers@sparkpost.com or on http://slack.sparkpost.com we'd really appreciate it.

Additionally, we have an awesome deliverability team over here and we work very closely with our users to diagnose and resolve problems like this efficiently. They'd be happy to chat with you about inbox placement should you decide to re-investigate :)
Comment of the year!
Not defending the interview, but:

It just really sucks that there are some companies out that believe that if you can rattle off an algorithm, then you must be a good coder.

The implication is (not able to do X) → (not a good coder), not the other way around.

They imply: "Doing this esoteric mathematical stuff is a requirement for being a good coder. And there are more requirements."

EDIT: strictly speaking, they don't even imply that. It may be they just consider this one of the many possible signals. Maybe they only count it if you pass.

Again, most cases may actually well be as you describe. But some might not be.

For some reason, true oppressive regimes aren't worth reporting on anymore.
Other security questions are often even worse. "What high school did you attend?", for example, is something many friends and acquaintances will know and most others can trivially obtain via LinkedIn or Facebook. "Where were you born?" and "What is the first school you attended?" can be reasonably reliably guessed from the high school as well.

You won't find a human with that clean of a record.

Some number of us humans are better than that. In addition to my father who's in his early '80s who's lived almost all his life in Missouri, where driving instead of flying to other places is generally ideal, try this search: https://www.google.com/search?q=truck+driver+million+mile+cl...
Same plan for me, except I use passpack.com ...

However, beware of tradeking as an online trading service. They have the lowest rates, but they have some ridiculous backward security requirements.

1) You have to enter passwords with an on-screen keyboard. Which means long complex computer generated passwords are a pain.

2) They present security questions in multiple choice form. That's right, your clever or unique answers are right there easily identified next to all the mundane answers.

Honestly I don't know how they haven't fired their whole security team. I know this kind of security theatre is costing them business, and I bet their back end reflects similarly poor decisions. I am surprised they don't have regular compromise reports.

Aha. Very interesting. Thanks so much for taking the time to spell that out for me.
Put simply, they are in contempt of the court disregarding the subpoena. This, under Brazilian law, warrants the arrest.

They could fight the subpoena but decided to do nothing, so, I kinda agree with the court on this one.
Yeah, these look pretty bad. If you are going to reskin, reskin everything. However, on Windows, you really cannot. Even more so if you are using the "classic" interface. On my last count, the scrollbars would redraw themselves in response to 11 different types of messages (not only WM_PAINT and WM_NCPAINT, as one would expect). And the API wouldn't give you a handle for you to draw them yourself, windows forms or not.

Also, it doesn't help that most of the screenshots are quite old. Where are the apps running on Windows 10? The OSX screenshots, when present, are from the first OSX versions.

I've still had fun with answers where I don't get to pick the question.

You can do so much with "Where was your father born?" and "What was the name of your childhood pet?".
Honestly, good question. And i thank you for asking it instead of jumping out with assertions of how wrong i am. :)

Clickbait is not necessarily "lie about the content". It is also "hide the main point of the article so the person must click to find out". Bait-and-switch can be involved in a clickbait title, but it is not a necessary component.

This serves to increase clicks (and thus impressions on ads on the page) even by people who ordinarily would not be interested in the content if they already knew what the "trick" was when seeing the headline.
The key is to use a password locker like keepass or passpack.

It is difficult to find a well paid senior developer job in London. I'm not sure if this is the cause or effect of so many experienced developers becoming freelance consultants. Rates of £500-700/day for long term contract work with corporate / finance clients are fairly common, so you can easily double your salary vs permanent employment (or work half the time.)
