You're assuming that everyone with a bachelor or master in CS can just walk into FaceGooSoft after reading "cracking the coding interview".

That is not true.

The false-negative rate at FaceGooSoft is very high, they have a revolving door of candidates, that is why they can afford it.

I am interviewing people for IT-jobs for over a year now and I met many engineers that are Google-material but did not make it into a tier-1 firm for some reason (they where scared-off by annoying recruiters, where asked unlucky questions at interviews, did not even try or even want to make it in there).

Hence, they have to work at mediocre companies and life at mediocre companies is better in Switzerland than in the US, I believe.

Trying to sell the black/white view of capitalism/communism to millenials proves to be a hard sell. People travel, they see social democracies in europe and elsewhere and begin to doubt capitalism. I think american media is adapting very slowly to the underlying realities behind the rise of Bernie sanders.
I'd see it more as a comment on the here and now. History is one thing. The wanton destruction of other nation states at the present time, another thing entirely.
Overhead of unit testing is why I'm not a fan of it for personal projects. Testing even the simplest 400 lines of code needed more than 1000 lines of testcode and I'm doing as little as possible.
Perhaps it was Fran Allen. In Coders at Work, she has quite a few things to say on the topic:

--- Begin Quote ---

-Seibel-: When do you think was the last time that you programmed?

-Allen-: Oh, it was quite a while ago. I kind of stopped when C came out. That was a big blow. We were making so much good progress on optimizations and transformations. We were getting rid of just one nice problem after another. When C came out, at one of the SIGPLAN compiler conferences, there was a debate between Steve Johnson from Bell Labs, who was supporting C, and one of our people, Bill Harrison, who was working on a project that I had at that time supporting automatic optimization.

The nubbin of the debate was Steve's defense of not having to build optimizers anymore because the programmer would take care of it. That it was really a programmer's issue. The motivation for the design of C was three problems they couldn't solve in the high-level languages: One of them was interrupt handling. Another was scheduling resources, taking over the machine and scheduling a process that was in the queue. And a third one was allocating memory. And you couldn't do that from a high-level language. So that was the excuse for C.

-Seibel-: Do you think C is a reasonable language if they had restricted its use to operating-system kernels?

-Allen-: Oh, yeah. That would have been fine. And, in fact, you need to have something like that, something where experts can really fine-tune without big bottlenecks because those are key problems to solve.

By 1960, we had a long list of amazing languages: Lisp, APL, Fortran, COBOL, Algol 60. These are higher-level than C. We have seriously regressed, since C developed. C has destroyed our ability to advance the state of the art in automatic optimization, automatic parallelization, automatic mapping of a high-level language to the machine. This is one of the reasons compilers are... basically not taught much anymore in colleges and universities.

> For example real autocompletion drop-downs.

There's no reason a TUI can't give you "real autocompletion". Vim does pretty well in most cases.

> Or see-through file outline/minimap like the one in sublime text.

I personally don't see the benefit of that, but you're right that you can't see a zoomed-out version of your code in a TUI.

> Or better markers for things like region folds, column positions, matching braces, highlights,

All of those things are supported by Vim and can be done in a TUI. As for "syntax highlighters" that decide to italicise code, I don't really consider that a feature.

European fuels are easily 200-300% of the US price and people still drive fine. If you increased the price 2x again you would hear a lot of crying, but in the end if you have to drive to get to work you are going to buy fuel and burn it.

Yep that one.
What part of "click and highlight and drag things around" includes "drag and drop"? I'm not going to comment on drag-and-drop as being a useful feature (I don't consider it one), but it wasn't mentioned in GP.
Capitalism serves the interests of all market participants, including general public. As every consumer-faced business owner knows, rich and well-developed middle class is absolutely necessary for good sales and healthy profits.

"National interests" don't care about public welfare. They only care about outcompeting other nation states, both in wartime and peacetime. Public interests are routinely sacrificed by governments for the sake of such competition.

Corporate feudalism has ruined capitalism.

In a surreal turn of events the east coast of communist China has the strongest "pure" form of capitalism currently in existence. This has a lot to do with their scant regard of imaginary property, what westerners insist on calling "intellectual property". Capitalism only work when information flows freely. When people can make decisions based on facts. This cannot happen when information is hoarded as a so called competitive advantage, not in the long run anyway, not any more. Ad to this the degree of rent-taking on all levels and its clear that capitalism as we know it a spent vein.
Suboptimal algorithms may lead to poor performance but you can enforce correctness. If you let the requirements drive the design rather than trying to design up-front (i.e. good process) you end up with good design. Asking the right questions to gather the correct requirements is arguably in-score or not, but again it's primarily a process issue.
They reject it in their 20's, they'll embrace it in their forties.

Nothing to see here.
I'm not sure how "free" a market can be if you're not free to acquire capital.
Sure, we could all benefit from more broadband competition (and less regulatory barriers to entry from local governments). But would you really prefer the alternative of governments providing internet services instead?
that is what young people do. 99 years ago they rejected capitalism in my old country. ~70 years ago - in China, and 20 years later during Cultural Revolution the next generation of young people in China doubled down on that rejection sending the first generation into re-education camps... "Mistakes of youth" :)

Personally, at 43, born and grown in socialist USSR, having lived through transition to wild capitalism in 199x in Russia, and living in US for 16+ years, i'd rephrase Churchill - "capitalism is the worst economical system, except for all the others".

Capitalism is far from perfect. And treating capitalism as if it should be perfect is exactly what causes people to move away from it.
Capitalism isn't perfect. it's just the best we have given the alternatives.
To be fair, the way America and Europe are represented in Japanese media is hardly accurate either. I think you should temper your depressed feelings with some bemusement at how cultures never quite understand each other. That's what I would expect a wise oji-san to do anyway.
Yeah, I agree. I think I made a mistake.

I guess it's possible that GP meant "drag things around without any effect".
The Web was certainly working before that functionality, which should be considered beta feature anyways, and you could've waited till it was standardised. If we'll support each and every lousy developer on the world, things will surely get more complex and dirty. And no user will ditch a browser for some css not working, they'll use the other browser temporarily for that website. Throughout this thread people consider users as lousy, nagging, complaining, brain dead people that jump from one browser to another, but this is not the case. They're as smart as each and every dev here, they just don't know programming. I guess what's going on is that devs and amateurs make lousy stuff and go singig the song of the infedele users because they don't want to fix their things.

I agree with you. That's why I'm questioning GP's idea of "Free Markets without Capitalism" for any reasonable definition of "Free".
I suspect that the reason they are so low paid is because it is a job that can be done with the minimum of training, and so it is easy to find replacements.
Hillsborough stadium disaster: How does it feel to fight for 27 years?
I asked you to back up your 1 drink = drunk = rape claim, something you said was an explicit policy of many institutions, and you keep linking to stuff that clearly does not say that, and instead plays lawyer with the semantics of "intoxication" and "incapacitated" and interprets everything in the worst possible way. (Despite what your sources try to claim, "incapacitated" does not necessarily imply unconscious, either in standard speech or many of the legal definitions they quote. Why they are so keen for that to be the case geniunely worries me.)

The best evidence we have so far to support your case is an HN comment! From something someone said in an induction seminar, but of which there is no official public trace.

Maybe the person running that seminar googled for some info on the topic and found the BS that you and your sources keep repeating and didn't realise that it was political propaganda (and really, why would anyone assume that people would go around falsely claiming things about rape policies?).

If you wanted to have an honest conversation about how vague policies are a problem, then start with something like "phrases like intoxication should be clearly defined in campus policies" (though of course in the real world, there is no bright-line test for exactly when people move from sober to tipsy to drunk to intoxicated to incapacitated, but perhaps extra explanations may help those that are confused). I believe that the government's Title IX guidance actually says this is good practice, so you're in good company. Then you won't have to run around trying to justify your exaggerations. Claiming that policies explictly say 1 drink is the limit, is the opposite of vague, it's very precise, albiet fictional because none of the policies say that.
A man who has not been a socialist before 25 has no heart. If he remains one after 25 he has no head. — King Oscar II of Sweden

Whilst that's a variant of an older quote there is generally an expectation that 19/20 year olds are going to be more revolutionary than their elders. As a 30 year old who grew up during the 90s capitalism had vanquished communism and was rapidly improving quality of life around the world. Economic growth was assumed and student radicalism went through one of its quieter patches and began to focus much more on equalities and access rather than economic issues.

Today's youth are perhaps returning back to a more traditional model of rebellion against their parents. Be it the 1930s elite becoming communist at Cambridge, French students in the 60s or US students in 1970.
communists say the same thing, I don't think you can completely separate a theory and its implementations though.
Then i would expect capitalists to have developed their own private armies (and probably road systems, and so on).
Are you talking about the social democracies of Northern Europe? They wouldn't be possible without capitalism.
Ok, just to make things clear, and to make sure I understand, an attack could look like this;

1. I trick you into using my GitEvil Repository Service (GERS™).

2. After you upload your data, I swap target site information (in this case name) with the name for GERS™.

3. Next time you log in to GERS™, you accidentally send the login information for target site instead.

4. Profit

In that case, keeping with the wish to keep the manager searchable without the master password, would it be possible to mitigate this by HMAC'ing the encrypted password with, for instance, the site name?

As should be obvious from the above, I'm no crypto expert.

Is it true? I have come across many articles that most of the millennials are focus on earning and career growth.
The thing about markets is that they cut through all of the fuzzy thinking about what jobs "should" pay more than others, and tell us what we actually pay - what we collectively find valuable.

That reality escapes most people.
They do fine in many places. Sasktel (Canada) is pretty good compared to what is available in some other provinces.
I may like the market (not always), but I see no reason to like capitalists...
Pretty sure it's the other way around. Communist society is the ideal state that has never been achieved. This is the ultimate goal of socialism.
You can own private property and run business in all these countries.

I was born in USSR. Socialism there meant that private business ownership is definitely not allowed. As many other things, too. It was impossible to buy and sell real estate, for example.
This is absolutely true and was how I found my dream job or more like how a recruiter found my dream job for me. I'm using Xing since I live in Germany but I think it should work similar on LinkedIn.

I can understand that if you are starting fresh you won't be able to be already employed by a well known company. However you have to start somewhere and it's important that you get some experience in the field you want to work in. Obviously this depends on the job you are applying for whether it's a junior or senior position etc.

I think it's important that you don't have big gaps in your CV and can show or present strong social/soft skills. One of the most important things for me is to be honest. Be absolutely honest about what you can do and not. Don't flood your profile with all the latest buzzwords and technologies if you never worked with these before. This might attract couple recruiters but it will be most likely the black sheep amoung them.

Be serious, honest, friendly, open minded and just yourself. :)
Kind of? There was the infamous Brandon Mayfield case a decade ago, where the FBI came down on an innocent American lawyer for the 2004 Madrid train bombings, despite the skepticism of Spanish security, because he was one of twenty people with similar-ish fingerprints.

He was also Muslim, worked on a terrorism case, had interest in flying, and his daughter had done a school project about a hypothetical Spanish vacation, which the FBI built into a damning case of misconstrued circumstantial evidence.

Somewhat OT, but does anyone happen to know which font that is? I like it a lot.
Yes. I was taking my wife out to dinner once and a recruiter stopped us (me) in the street to get me to work for their company, technically I interviewed but it's kinda just a formality when they want you that badly. Apparently a former co-worker said I was a genius.

As others have mentioned, it's social proof.
My point is this: I am willing to bet that none of those companies are using Node throughout the larger portions of their code bases. Perhaps in parts of their code bases, where they can afford to try new things, sure, but not in the larger, more mission-critical parts: in those parts you will more likely find a lot of Java and PHP.

PayPal is frequently cited as one of the companies "using Node", for instance. But PayPal's Web site is running on Apache. Where's all that Node? Is it being used internally, for micro-services or something? For a mobile app? I can't find PayPal's Big Bundle o'Node.

The author's gist is that there IS NO HUGE WAVE of companies re-architecting their code bases in Node, and that, furthermore, the rampant proliferation of JS front-end frameworks looks crazy and frothy and misguided. And nobody ever produces any real, hard data to counter that general set of points. It's always the same stuff: "here's a list of companies that use Node", and "Node is the future and you're just old", "all the cool kids are using React even though it is wildly over-engineered for most use cases", etc. It's mind-numbing and repetitive and weird.

the poverty line as the 40th percentile
of income [...] was absurd.

It's best understood not as a honest attempt at understanding poverty, but as a political manoeuvre.

In the past (19th century and before), the socialist/communist tradition had a real point in that large swathes of the population were poor in an absolute sense (e.g. going hungry, cold, no adequate health-care, pension etc). The socialist/communist tradition was in some sense about abolishing absolute poverty (whether the proposed methods were helpful or not is another discussion). If you read e.g. the communist manifesto [1], that is clear. Most of socialist/communist politics centered around politicising and radicalising the absolute poor with a view towards taking them out of absolute poverty.

However, modern industrialised society has (simplifying a bit) abolished absolute poverty.

This leaves socialist/communist politics in a conundrum: how to continue to politicise/radicalise people to become followers. The concept of relative poverty is the answer: all the old political tools can be reused by changing what is meant by poverty.

>You've used a lot of emotive words - like the article seems "fishy" or that you don't believe this article due to "experience" and now that believing this account defies "rudimentary common sense".

"Fishy" isn't at all an emotive word. And of course I don't believe I used the word "rudimentary".

>You seem to quite often attempt to signal that you are aligned with an unbiased and rational view, but you seem to just discard arguments based on your emotions.

I'm not the one making emotional arguments. This is the situation:

1. Woman does her job very well.
2. ???
3. Harassment.

Obviously if step 1 is actually true there's a step 2. You want to be the white knight and protect her, emotionally. But that's infantilizing her.

>There's been a few threads on this article that you've abandoned. Its becoming more and more clear its because you simply can't satisfyingly state the reasons for your judgements.

That's silly. At this point you just keep repeating yourself without addressing anything I've written. Couple that with the timeout on HN they've added to discourage this conversation and it's literally not worth the trouble, so I'm going to end it here. Of course you're welcome to reply, though frankly I'll be very surprised if you include anything new.
