For senior positions especially, getting on to things that "went bad" right away in the beginning of the interview might be counter productive. It makes the person uncomfortable. How about seeking his advice(genuinely) on a problem that you are facing. Or telling him about a situation where you personally fucked up and ask him how would he handle it. The purpose is to build trust and to do that it is extremely important to be genuine, not just sound genuine.

The middle of the interview should be reserved for a bit of uncomfortable talk where you talk to him about something that went bad. Thrash some of his ideas, question a few approaches and let him react to it. I also try to make it point to make him work on a situation where he doesn't have control over a few variables(like the stack, or the timelines, or the people or the requirements).

I keep the last few minutes for agreement, the conversation should leave a happy memory after all.
I'd rather live in a country that provides comprehensive free health care and limits soda consumption, than one that allows me the "freedom" to consume as much sugar as possible and makes me pay for the consequences.

I must be a radical hippie leftist: I think we should tax the sh-t out of refined sugar and subsidize organic vegetable farms.
I'm a left libertarian, the real deal, and that's why I prefaced the libertarians designation with the RW label to avoid upsetting my leftist friends here :)
So you were fine with Obama's bombing of said countries, but Trump's prohibition on immigration is unacceptable?
>I remember my vacation in the states (in the South). I got served a absolutely massive glass of coca-cola with my dinner. When I had finally managed to finish it a waiter came and refilled the bloody thing when I wasn't paying attention. How can you enjoy your meal with that much to drink?

Are you from a place where there is a cultural taboo against only drinking part of the beverage a restaurant serves you?

Saying that you "finally managed to finish it" implies that you were putting effort into drinking the entire glass despite not wanting to. And being put out by the fact that the waiter refilled it implies that you felt obligated to drink the refill as well.
No, they are not. If these arguments are good enough for you, you can justify really unethical things.
> I have trouble wrapping my head around that

It's not hard to understand once you stop lumping together civilian refugees and combatants as "these people".
I think it's pretty obvious that "alt-right" is an alias of "white supremacist". Neo-Nazis wanted a less loaded term so they came up with a new one, but it's the same people, same ideas.
> is it governmental overreach that heroin is banned or is it a good public health policy?

I think you are making a good point, but this is a horrific example. Heroin prohibition has been a spectacular failure. There are literally bodies in the streets to show for it.
Funny. I recently got a new position and I couldn't find the terminal on the company mac - and a fellow came by and said "you obviously aren't an Apple person". I didn't tell him that I was a Mach kernel engineer at NeXT and that I'd worked on code that is probably still in the OS - or that I've been in way too many meetings with Steve Jobs. Instead, I just quietly nodded and agreed with him.
Orders such as these will cause people in foreign countries to no longer support or trust US soldiers. Imagine what a storm this will cause when troops start dying because they have no intelligence as to who is friend or foe and what the situation is. Anything you do to people in the US risks having the same happen to Americans in general and not just soldiers in other countries. Note Google is trying to get their people who happened to be traveling in those countries home as soon as possible. I also find it amusing that none of the countries Trump does business in are affected.
It's not time to bury heads in the sand. This issue directly affects most everyone here in one way or another. It would be irresponsible to bury our heads in the sand on this one.

Michael Eisen, http://www.nature.com/news/geneticist-launches-bid-for-us-se... Tim Cook, Sundar Pichai, Mark Zuckerberg and others are taking a stand. We must unite to do this.

We know where sticking our heads in the sand got us the last time...
It can be trivially argued that Hillary lost because her base was so lukewarm to her & a big reason for that was because of her support for violent encounters.

Instead of the result of that being we bomb less people it seems to be that we are going continue to bomb them and also enact amoral immigration policy. At this point it's not about partisan ship it's about morality for many of us.

In one week we've gone full bore insane. I'll be first in line to support any republican that stands against or.
Your response doesn't add anything to the discussion. What are these other definitions you speak of? Please tell us and cite them, so we can make up our own minds which is more credible. Throwing in adhominems like "advances your political leanings", etc. is irrelevant. It's not like there's some alternate definition of "alt-right" that implies they're leftists!

I had an iPhone for several years as well. On my first attempt to switch to Android, I went swimming with my new phone in my pocket a few weeks after I got it. Very frustrating.

I finally switched permanently last year, and man has it been worth it. I can actually browse my own files on my own phone, and it does virtual reality better than any current Apple product! I grew up with Apple around me and I used to love them, but they have fallen behind and made terrible choices and I won't feel bad for them if they fail.
They don't have to be. They're equal and opposite assertions that cancel each other out so the thread can proceed as it was.
As an American this makes me sad. I understand your feelings and actions, but it still makes me sad. I don't think my feeling this way is your fault though.

The only thing I can think of to say is that Trump and Trump's actions are "not in my name". Because I believe in kindness it is hard for me to condemn those who voted for him without realizing the extent of what he would actually do, but I personally did not vote for the man nor support his policy or administration. In some ways it is quite strange that we are told that "we have to support the president" because he won the election. I will say I wasn't super happy with our choices this time around in general.

So I'm living in a country doing what I can not to allow one president and one administration's policies to tarnish our relationships with other countries and each other, but it still makes me sad to see you feel the way you do. Again, I understand though.

Just remember, like good people in the US recognize that there are good people in every other country (all the time, even during tough times), we still have good people too.
That is what I do. And in that regard both parties have a great deal of blood on their hands.
I once complained about a long line at the customs and immigration in the United States. The CPB officer's response was "Call your congressman."

I was thinking of search for jobs in America in order to work in companies that use bleeding edge technologies. (Comparatively the open source scene, tech innovation scene in India is not that good).

Trump and his policies have generated similar reactions in me. What about scandanavia? Where to start looking for tech jobs there?
I feel like AMD is missing an opportunity here. They aren't able to compete completely with Intel on performance now, and probably won't ever. Ryzen should be better, but I doubt they'll achieve parity with Intel.

If AMD wanted to compete on something they could compete by being the chip provider that was security-friendly. The failed Talos secure workstation proved that at least some people are willing to spend lavishly on truly open, user-controlled hardware. My supposition is that there could be pretty solid demand if the price point weren't ~$10k.
Beat me to it. Before we were obese, we were already smokers, alcoholics, gambling addicts, sex fiends, violent thugs, opium lovers... if there is anything we can abuse, we will. Animals don't know when they're having too much of a good thing, evolutionary instincts are honed on getting as much as you can today because you could get none tomorrow.
>Nationalism

The last time anti-intellectual forces that praised authoritarian figures, promised to take the country back to a more glorious time and zoned in on people of a particular religion, we called it a word stronger than 'Nationalism'.

Christian refugees from these nations are allowed, only Muslims aren't. This is the definition of religious discrimination. This will go down as a dark day in US history, I only hope that it's the lowest point and things don't get worse. But that might be an unrealistically optimistic outlook.
It's not an either or. We can absorb a lot more refugees than we are taking now (which is basically none) and we can also have better foreign policy than we have had for the last 20 years.
The OP is just virtue-signaling. He presumably still buys products from third-world dictatorships. Let's ask him. OP, how can you justify boycotting America and not China or a myriad of other countries that are ruled under a far more oppressive regime.
It seems like a Soda tax would be a less heavy handed approach. If you make the price high enough restaurants will stop offering refills all on their own.
I once believed that, but it really isn't true anymore. Intel made quite the effort to kill third party chipsets. We are not living in the early 90's. Intel decided (quite differently than ARM) that it would have a set of configurations and take over almost every aspect of it chips.

Look at the NUC, it is a stock Intel everything design. It would be rather easy to support from Apple's perspective.
I'm not a functional purist, but I find that the functional 'principles' that I benefit the most from, in any context, are 1) massaging my data into the right shape with as few transforms as possible/practical/legible, 2) using pure functions whenever possible (in practice this often means accepting a few extra parameters in lieu of writing the code as a method; avoid 'this' in js, for example), and 3) starting with the data structures and seeing my app as, to a large degree, just a set of transformations on that (which usually is appropriate for the type of stuff I build).

I don't use partial application/currying that much, but more and more over time.

All in all I feel that doing these things have greatly improved my code and efficiency, and I'm kind of waiting for some downtime to get back into learning the more 'hardcore' functional languages.

How does this effect sugar free drinks like Diet Coke and Coke Zero?
Sadly, no. Code written in this style will typically run more slowly, or be equivalent at best. Streams can perform better if you make them parallel and have lots of data as then you can more easily spread out over multiple cores (which is the point of streams), but most cases aren't like that.

When you heavily use stream constructions, you're relying on the JVM to:

• Synthesise classes for the lambdas.

• Inline the map/filter/fold calls and then inline the lambdas too. The JVM doesn't make any guarantees about inlining and may unpredictably bail out. If inlining doesn't happen then profile pollution will kill off some of the other optimisations the JVM does.

• Escape analyse any temporary objects created like iterators and then scalar replace them.

• Try and do some loop fusion, but I'm not sure to what extent the JIT compilers can do that.

This is a long list of complex and often fragile optimisations. If any of them don't get applied then you end up with virtual method calls, objects being created, poor cache utilisation etc. Sure objects that die young are cheap but they aren't entirely free. It's still best to avoid them.

The reality is that writing traditional style code is going to be more efficient or at least more reliably efficient than functional style code for the forseeable future.

Note that the JVM has a much easier time of it when using Kotlin's support for lambdas and functional programming because the inlining is guaranteed to be done by the Kotlin compiler not the JVM, and that fixes a lot of issues with profile pollution and unpredictable performance drops.

The immigration policy of the previous administration would also have rejected the people targeted with the bombs.

It's a great rhetorical strategy to conflate the attacks on various militant groups (that many people did oppose) with a blanket policy based on country of origin, but it's pretty weak sauce.
Differences in hardware matter in subtle ways too with new versions of MacOS. For example, AirDrop or Handoff work seamlessly on the latest hardware, but frustratingly work one day then not the next at random on older hardware. The difference is Bluetooth versions 2.0 compared to 4 or 4.2, but one wouldn't likely even realize what version of Bluetooth a computer has.

The NUC he describes sounds perfect for what he wants. Kaby Lake might not have many noticeable improvements over Skylake for most uses, but the integrated graphics for streaming high resolution content are significantly better. Furthermore I don't think there is any Mac that has HDMI 2.0 necessary for sending 4k video to a regular television at greater than 30Hz.
I don't see where anybody said that.

It's possible to think that bombing is wrong, while still holding the opinion that the immigration order is worse.

Some researchers have hypothesized that America's obesity rate is somewhat correlated with dropping smoking rates.

One of the most complex games Starflight of the 80th's is written in Forth. I had a lot of fun decompiling it.

https://github.com/s-macke/starflight-reverse

It turns out to be very portable because the assembler code is only about 1000-2000 lines. The rest is implemented in Forth itself. They use indirect threading to produce very dense code. They kept even most of the debugging symbols inside the code and kept the forth interpreter itself in the code.
now you're really generalizing.

This could become an existential problem for YC (and the US tech industry) if these policies are extended, because the much of their intake is immigrants (not sure what percentage, but it must be close to half). Here is Paul Graham's take on it:

https://twitter.com/paulg/status/825319115548147713

Sometimes you have to deal with politics, whether you want to or not.
We can circumvent the rules against political discourse as long as we do it under the veil of listing all the negative things that Republican policies will do for YC.
Romania - which is in first place - has around 20 million inhabitants.

Sure, it's a developing country but so is Bulgaria, which is both less developed and has a considerably higher rate of obesity.
Even though I share your concern, at least in my own code 'map' usually does tell me things that 'for' doesn't. Because if I were filtering a list, I'd use filter or reduce, if I were picking an element from a list I'd use pluck or whatnot, etc. So seeing a 'map' means that 99% of the time I'm transforming one set of values into another set without removing or adding elements.
Strange, indeed. Romania has the lowest obesity rates according to Eurostat [1]. I don't see any reason why you wouldn't want to mention Romania except that Italy's low rate fits so well into the stereotype...

Well, large parts of the Right "Libertarians" are already in charge. All they do is remove healthcare, slash spending on PBS, environmental agencies and Science, while giving corporations and billionaires gigantic tax breaks.....These people are the ones in power.

Or just charging 1 cent (or equivalent) for a refill?
One of the reasons Trump is popular is that there's a belief he'll prioritize American interests and refrain from waging extraneous wars on behalf of global interests.

The proxy war in Syria is ridiculous. Having a president who isn't interested in antagonizing Russia is good.

I think that describes most of the world, if allowance is made for places where leaving the last sip (or last mouthful, for food) shows enough was served.
I have a skull canyon NUC and love it. I work in a co-working space. At the end of my day I can disconnect it and put it in my locked drawer. It is tiny and super fast.

Honestly, I can't fathom why anybody would have chosen a Mac for an HTPC within the last decade to begin. I can see why people would buy an Apple TV, but if you want the "full" OS because you want to do more stuff - you can't beat Windows.
I don't think anyone can deny this, the CBP has been at entry points for decades and decades. But its the current officers who have to deal with the biggest mess.
That's a very interesting debate to have. FTR: I remember reading somewhere something about a discussion between the USSR and the USA after WWII that went more or less like this: "Better to have a belly full with state jobs than jobless and hungry free men".
You trust the hw vendor, the os vendor and the browser vendor - and you trust the CA. Google already had two out of four in many cases. You're not safe from the OS vendor by using a different browser, or CA.
Obama is the only president being in war for everyday of his 8 year presidency and simultaneously bombing what 6-7 countries at same time. Good thing he got a nobel peace prize.

Too bad we didn't get same kind of outrage of Obamas actions in press what we get now because Trump has to sort this mess.
Did you read the quote? He actually didn't say that. Congrats on spreading fake news.
The purported anti-terror rationale seems pretty disingenuous when you look at the nationalities of the people who have previously committed acts of terror on US soil. San Bernadino was someone from Pakistan and someone from the US. 9/11 was people from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Lebanon and UAE. Oklahoma City was an American. And every school, church, theater, etc mass shooting that has taken place over the past decade was either committed by an American or national of a country not on his list.

So what's the point of it then? It can't be about "safely allowing immigration" if we're not blocking people from countries that have historically threatened our safety in the past.
It's not about"modern societies", man has been proven by several dozens of studies to not be able to consistently do rational decisions when it comes to long term. This is just about that. Also, how is that "sacrifying freedom" lmao, it just means instead of paying for infinite refill you pay for a drink, which was already the case in most French fast food restaurants. And tell me more about "freedom" when you eat in a fast food restaurant that pays their employees like, treat them like shit, bypass most working laws to pay them less and make them work more and in bad condition. If your definition of "freedom" is "doing whatever the fuck I want without any limitations no matter the consequences", then I fail to see how this is a value worth pursuing.
And almost definitely in the short run as even current green card holders are covered in this order. Means that folks who went overseas for (vacation/conference/etc) before the order was signed will not be able to return to work.
Last time I talked with people about it, it seemed that Americans drink a lot more on a daily basis than Europeans. It's a habit that people develop.

I drink no soda, but drink 360 ml of coffee, 2 liters of water and 0-2 beers on a typical day. I'm more strict about drinking water than a lot of people, but I don't think I'm far outside the norm.
