Being asked to write yet another depth first search implementation (honestly, 5/5 interviews at a large corporation were the same question) that any second year student can do is humiliating when your daily bread is building complex distributed systems. I still did it, because (unlike the writer) I understand that you do need to establish a baseline. As I've said, I've sat on the other side of the table, asked the humiliating question and seen the candidate fail miserably. It's a necessary evil, but it's still humiliating.

A less humiliating but still valuable interview (IMHO) is a systems design question. It should still be a whiteboard exercise, but it's a better test of problem solving and engineering skills. I don't seriously begin any system work without first doing the very same thing on a whiteboard myself. It's a useful on the job skill and a useful way to test skills of communication and collaboration in describing the solution.

With respect, if you're putting your employees to work on "crapy little side project's" for a month, either the projects are not crappy and have potentially large impact on the firm, or, you're wasting valuable resources.
Are you sure that is "all" that HSBC did? Your explanation seems very simplified.

e.g. from https://www.theguardian.com/business/2012/dec/14/hsbc-money-...

"In some branches the boxes of cash being deposited were so big the tellers' windows had to be enlarged."

Do you or do you not believe in the link between the burning of fossil fuels and climate change? If you do not, I am not going to get into a theological debate with a believer.
In my experience, 8 year olds often ask more penetrating questions than adults. If they take an interest in understanding something, they often desire to understand it on the deepest level possible for them - quickly exceeding the capacity of their parent or teacher to explain (unless the adult is a 'renaissance person'). (Edit: or a competent teacher with adequate training relevant to the subject)

If the 8 year olds are really encouraged to explore and ask questions (vs 'jump through these hoops, follow instructions), the staff at apple will most likely be unable to answer their questions.
All that I have is an email where I complained to one of my friends about not being able to update without wiping my Linux install, so hopefully that's enough. But I eventually did update after Netflix (which is all I was really using my PS3 for other than playing with PPC Linux) required the update.
But carbohydrates as a whole?

I think it was on here I read an article by a doctor who's general rule was keep your food as unprocessed as possible.
Okay, so a whiteboard interview is definitely flawed, and we all know it.

However, I would like to point out 2 things:

1. You should have known it was going to be a whiteboard WELL in advance of the actual interview. You could have asked the recruiter how you'd be evaluated. In the actual interview is NOT the place to refuse a whiteboard. You should have talked to the recruiter and told him/her that you wouldn't do a whiteboard evaluation. Instead you chose to waste everyone's time. So, you're kind of a dick for that.

2. "because the interviewers all seem like young punks" - yeah maybe the issue is your attitude. Just sayin. Again, you sound like you're kind of a dick.
No, but I'd imagine that they would expect a competent instructor to be leading the class.
> how it can make a strong niche for itself besides Rails.

You anwered your own question ;-) Ruby works great for static (web)sites including books, presentations, etc and for all kind of "text" and "small data" processing. Not sure if Jekyll is already the "new Rails" - for example, I've put together a Jekyll theme site called Dr. Jekyll's [1] listing more than 100+ themes. I've also started a bookshelf (imprint) called Yuki & Moto Press [2] for books on Ruby published with Jekyll (and Octobook). Cheers.

You saying that they operate across most of europe and if you're european, try these guys out. Then their own site having lines like Your bank account just as mobile as you are. and Banking everywhere made me think for a moment that they may actually offer their services across Europe.

Not the case. Digging deeper [1] we can find this: The only conditions are that you're at least 18 years old and have a residential address in Germany or Austria.

> Approve new hires with Greenhouse

> Recruiting teams who use Greenhouse can get hiring manager approval for new job postings and candidate offer letters.

Sure, why not, i'll hire someone with a single click in Slack. And maybe then post a party parrot emoji. Crushing it!

Like any messaging app, Slack has value precisely because it segregates small, ephemeral messages from the large, persistent ones in my email. It lets me tap into a stream of what's going on right now without obstructions. Trying to shoehorn in these great wads of HTML which don't require immediate attention detracts from Slack's value, rather than enhancing it.
A really good tip is anchovies and black olives, grounded. It honestly approaches ground beef in pasta sauce (Especially the cheap, student-living kind).
Of course there are upsides for Apple. Otherwise they couldn't do it (even if Tim wanted it, the stakeholders have the final saying). But I'm not really worried about that a lot. Sure, people will learn how great it is to program with Apple, and how easy you can do certain things in the playground sandbox (that's where you will code on your iPad. You give the program simple instructions such as move or draw an object in Swift but the heavy lifting is done by Apple's GUI Frameworks).

But as the kids grow older (and hopefully become more interested in programing), they will also learn the limitations of the playground. And this is where they will start looking in other alternatives. They might explore proper iOS development but at some point, but eventually they will have to deal with other platforms or programing languages. Some will probably stick to iOS, and the soon-to-be programers will prefer iOS because they have more knowledge in iOS programming but in general, there will be more programers for all languages.

I started programing about 6 or 7 years ago when I was 12 or 13. When I first started programing, I loved the PHP IDE I was using on my first windows laptop – it was so helpful and offered so many helpful functions and I was soon locked into it. At that time, I couldn't think about using another editor or os. But as I grew more passionate about programming (and started to see the limitations of PHP), I started using other languages, and I had to explore other editors. Long story short, right know, I'm mostly using VIM (although I would not call myself an VIM export – I just loving using it and because it is so quick, lightweight, modular and works everywhere). I prefer developing on Mac but last month I used Linux (Fedora) for over a month and enjoyed it. There was nothing I couldn't do on Fedora but I'm glad to be back on macOS again (I just prefer the platform as a whole and their integration with my other devices).

What I'm saying is that it doesn't really matter if you are locked into one language as long as you you are curious about things (which children generally are). You will soon discover that there are many things that are sometimes greater or just fun to use. Those things will not go away. I don't see many Swift webservers anytime soon and there will always be a need to use other languages. At some point, those kid will realize that their iPad is not sufficient and will switch to a PC. This path is certain better then scare kids away especially because many kids need immediate feedback when they type something (and "hello world" on a console won't cut it).
I agree that the vast majority of people who use email in general, or even the vast majority of people who own a domain name and want to have their own email server are not in our position...

The venn diagram of people who are capable of operating a secure Linux or *BSD based email server implementing, for example, SPF, DKIM and DMARC with postfix+opendkim+spamassassin+dovecot overlaps a great deal with the sort of people who want to colocate a $100-200/month server. A lot even have "free" colocation through their work at an ISP or with friends that have extra rack space and power for a small 1U box.

It certainly doesn't make sense to spend $200/mo on colocating a server just for email - but if you're colocating a whole physical server in this era, it's not hard to make it a box with 64GB or more of RAM and two good quality 512GB SSDs in RAID-1: Make it a hypervisor platform and put twenty of your own VPS on it doing many different things. Balanced with the need to not centralized too much stuff on one piece of hardware as a single point of failure. Public IP space availability depending, of course.

In my experience the best colo is with ISPs that are not actually colo companies, but will only do it as a side thing for people they know and trust. The absolute best colo I've ever had is with a company that has a core business doing X.509/SSL stuff for healthcare enterprise customers. Gear in racks two hops network-topology away from their core routers at a major IX point.

The vast majority of people who do not want to maintain and secure a world-facing Linux/BSD based smtpd are probably better off going with a google apps or hosted email solution where all of the smtp and imap/TLS1.2 infrastructure is handled for them.
There's also Codea, which runs Lua. The company that built Codea also made a game with it called Cargo Bot.

It's great in the abstract. Enlightened bystanders, intervening to halt abusive behavior. Exactly what everyone who's ever suffered abusive behavior dreams of! I know I have in the past. Yet in practice, trying to be that enlightened bystander means listening in on a lot of private conversations, a lot of privately judging people and their actions with context, and a lot of intruding in places where nobody involved has invited you.

I've been rebuked for trying to "step up my game" and getting it wrong enough times that I no longer trust the concept. I'm done second-guessing which particular people want/need help in particular moments and which don't. It's patronizing as hell. I'll help those who ask and I'll make it easy to ask, but I'm done making people's choices for them.

Hey Devishard - keep in mind this is only one of four suggested approaches. We also say if you think your work to make money is going to do harm you shouldn't do it and link to a list of jobs you shouldn't take because they are harmful.

I don't personally agree with you that Microsoft has done much harm - maybe not even any harm at all on balance, given the positive inventions they made.

Certainly I don't think Microsoft was so bad that saving 10 million people's lives wouldn't go a long way to making up for it.

But if I did think Microsoft was very harmful, like you, I would agree you shouldn't earn to give there.
I dunno. I don't think there would have been civilization had there not been beer.
The F-22 is the best high altitude air superiority fighter in existence. It's ludicrously expensive and it is ludicrously over capable for the actual missions it flies but it did completely achieve it's role specification.
I'm not sure. I think making the troops cheaper and generate faster encourages people to play the game more, not less.

And the last upgrade added quite a few building, troop, and spell upgrades, which also encourage people to play more.

Personally, I can't stand Clash Royale. Besides lagging and crashing a lot, the match up algorithm is intensely frustrating. It felt like maybe 1 in 4 matches I was just completely steam rolled with absolutely no chance I could have won.

> So.... is it racist for people to say white judges are being harsher on non-white defendants?

That depends on the basis of the claim. If its based on presumptions about group identity and how that will produce actions, then yes. If it is based on systematic gathering of data on judicial decisions, factual circumstances which cover the expected non-race inputs to those decisions, and information of about defendants' and judges' races, then, no.
Meat enthusiast here. There is no one who wants a viable meat alternative for meat eaters than me. The bleeding heart (pun intended) in me cares about the sustainability of meat and the sheer cost of ethical farming. Fact of the matter is though, I won't give up eating meat. I love it, so so much. And I have a leery eye towards meat substitutes. This product for example:

- How well does this product replicate the Maillard Reaction [0]? This is key when we're talking about taste and texture.

- Why did the author taste the burger with 82 toppings slathered on top by a professional chef? That's like testing out a new 21 speed, strapped to the top of an SUV.

- Why are they (presumably) trying to recreate chuck? Ground chuck is a terrible thing to replicate. It's like burger meat designed by committee[1].

- Is the sizzle coming from only extracted water from the plant burger (water vapor, decreasing heating temp)? Or are their lipids present spiking the flame, positively contributing to the cooking process?

That said, I'd love to give it a shot. Proper seasoning, a nice medium rare with a slice of American. But I'm not holding my breath. Meat is very hard.

> You need to understand guns intimately if you want [the government] to regulate them.

> This kind of thinking is common sense when it comes to making laws about anything else*

That is absolute fucking nonsense. I support regulation of aircraft, and I have no idea how to fly or build a plane. I support regulation of dangerous drugs, and I've never taken them and don't know how they work. I support regulation of nuclear weapons, and I've certainly never had anything to do with those.

As voters, we agree that there are too many gun deaths. We have voted for representatives who are supposed to deeply study the issue, understand things that voters can't/don't, and make informed policy changes.

Looking just at recent history, this process has not occurred.

Not the only change, the mobile site got bloated and slow in the last year.

All community/social changes aside, the site has gotten worse from a usability perspective as they increased their headcount.

This is the most predictable pattern in our industry.
The statistics seem to be confirming exactly what Krugman said 5 years ago[1]. We're now living in an economy where a minority of highly skilled specialists (programmers, doctors, bankers, lawyers) are in high demand and are doing extremely well, and everyone else is finding out that their labor has become commoditized. That their skills/talents can be easily replaced by the lowest bidder, and given our technological progress, there isn't as much need for "warm bodies" as there was 50 years ago.

We are, as scary as it seems, heading towards a two-tier society. One where the upper middle class and rich are doing extremely well, and an underclass that is living paycheck to paycheck.

From this perspective, the rise of extreme candidates like Trump is almost understandable. The shrinking middle class, and the rising lower-middle-class, are finding themselves under assault, and are reaching out for anyone who is will to fight for them, against any scapegoat that can be blamed for this assault. Mexicans, Muslims, China, Free Trade - all perfect targets.

Their complaints are real, but it's unfortunate that their anger is being directed towards fictitious threats. Let's face the truth and start addressing the underlying problem. We need to tax those who're benefiting tremendously from the current economy, and use this money to strengthen the middle class and help those who are falling behind. Raising the tax rates on the top 30%, and introducing a universal basic income, is a much needed first step.

Yep, I think there was a post about setting up IPv6 correctly on HN a while back. Alternatively, you can make your host not respond to IPv6 at all.

If I remember correctly, the problem isn't that IPv6 needs to be set up, but that if your host listens on IPv6, Google will default to that and then your SPF/DMARC/DKIM setup needs to work with IPv6. If you don't have an external IPv6 address, then you don't need to configure SPF etc... for IPv6 and you should be fine.

The point, though it's clear that you're belligerent enough to avoid understanding it, is that there's plenty of exceptions to the specific point of view you're trying to put forward as the correct one.

The irony, here, is that you continue to explain your position as different from the article's author, then upon elaboration it's clear that you're disagreeing with her terms by some strange default.

As you don't know whether Discover or Amex is bigger? Why does that matter? And Paypal is not a credit card. You can link it directly to your bank account and pay with it as the transaction processor. That's a big part of why it's so popular. Might as well complain about bitcoins.

A legislative body is a conflict resolution mechanism, and one that is basically in the business of writing the code of law (literally). For something to be considered a typo, there must be negligible conflict over that interpretation. If not, the legislative body addresses it again or it’s handled by the judiciary. The legal register who maintains the official version of the text works at the behest of the legislative body. These things are not occurring without supervision.
"The FAA also will educate all commercial drone pilots on privacy during their pilot certification process; and will issue new guidance to local and state governments on drone privacy issues."

Well, yes -- but only insofar that it looks like beef but tastes more like turkey (at least to me).
That seems like a bit of a red herring. What does blocking the downloading of code have to do with offering coding camps?

Regardless, I don't think the kids need to worry about that until they offer the Corporate Strategems Bootcamp. Until then, pretty sure if the kids want to create apps that download executable code, they can install them on their device directly with xcode.
I don't think it requires extraordinary strength to earn to give.

Yes, lifestyle inflation is a real problem. But it's certainly not universal. Plenty of people maintain high savings rates instead of consuming excess income. The discipline required for early retirement communities isn't very different from that required for earning to give.

That being said, I have found that it helps to maintain a diverse social sphere. The majority of my friends make far less money than me, so it's easy to match my lifestyle to theirs (in fact, a bit better) while having plenty left over for donations.
Suggesting that he is biased based on nothing other than his race is racist. Presenting actual evidence of bias and identity-based motivation might not be racist, even though it might attribute bias to race, but that is a different story.

Trump has directly said that the judge must be biased, because of his ethnic heritage and the supposed "fact" (which isn't actually a fact, but anyway) that Trump is "building a wall" -- that is, the claim actually being made by Trump is that it is impossible for any person of Mexican heritage to not be biased against Trump because of Trump's specific policy stances.

"Should I cram in learning algos/data structures, just to get a job?"

that's a key aspect of landing a job these days at many companies.

"Can you really learn enough to pass a technical interview with a few weeks of practicing puzzles?"

my two cents: not necessarily. i'd suggest setting out to study algos/data structures directly, rather than just doing practice problems by themselves. pick up a book on algorithms (e.g. Sedgewick) or do an online course. you want to get to where you have an understanding of algorithms and data structures such that you can implement them from scratch from memory -- on a whiteboard. i think going through coding exercises will be more fruitful if that foundation is in place.
