"We will write off those with opposing views as evil or ignorant or stupid, rather than as interlocutors worthy of consideration.

This is an Open Source and self-hosted alternative to Disqus.

It is not a product.

And, as such: doesn't need to market itself.

Use it if you want to. Or not.

I wanted to use it, but couldn't make it run - I am not a Python guy, so I went for HashOver (PHP) instead.
Not because HashOver is better, it's not, but because I need to be able to modify/fix the software, and I know PHP better than Python.

But I still believe that Isso is the best self-hosted and open source Disqus alternative in existence.
I would posit that Trump is not a worthy opponent. He does not use facts and reason for his arguments. He uses bullying and lies, that makes him "unworthy" in my eyes.
This is my general experience as well.

The exceptions are companies like Facebook and Google, whose hiring practices seem to really be focused on hiring people straight out of college as opposed to established programmers.

Perhaps it's too broad a generalization - I haven't worked at Google - but all the companies who ape the GAFA hiring policies are indeed only interested in developers straight out of college. And I have a hard time blaming them; college students are fairly inexpensive to hire, and there's a lot of them out there looking.

>I can only speak from my experience hiring and getting hired but all things being equal that piece of paper will likely get you hired over the other applicant(s).

It may take you 10% more applications to get a single job, but that's not much if you live in an area with a lot of jobs. I have read about struggles from both sides of the fence (degreed/not) to the point where I can't take common advice of degree advantages seriously any more.

We really need to find a way to assess skills and make a great interview process that many companies can adopt, and that will solve the problem because then the CompSci curricula will have to switch over if they want to keep incoming students and graduate hiring rates high. "Who cares about your degree? Take this test to see if you're actually worth employing at a given career level!"

10% better hiring speed just does not seem attractive considering you spend tens of thousands plus the opportunity cost of working somewhere and contributing to your retirement (which for millennials is apparently very far from previous generations). Student debt is only increasing. Number of graduates are only increasing. Degrees make you stand out significantly less-so unless you are able to attend a prestigious school -- and at that point, the decision may not even have to do with the technical rigor involved. The hiring managers are playing the same risk aversion game everyone else is, only they can sometimes afford to be picky or not.

The only time a degree will become super-important is if the middle and low level jobs suddenly start disappearing. I haven't heard any doom and gloom about that, but if it was actually happening, it'd be the biggest sleeping giant of a news story for our industry.

Even then, most of the hiring that gets done will shift to people with experience and/or a degree. It's just that there will be less hiring overall.

Plus, you can always move laterally to another portion that still uses Excel as its backing store and probably automate your job away and do 30 minutes of work per day -- I'm seriously thinking about doing this because it seems easier to reduce the amount you work than to increase your salary for the same 40h/week.
This is so cool, really glad its available in open source. Can imagine a lot of fun uses for it!

I agree with most of the article about academic environments being open to vigorous debate among opposing ideas. But I find this phrase: "diversity of thought" problematic.

Not because I don't actually value diversity in philosophies or modes of thinking, but because the phrase itself has been used recently as a weasel phrase by reactionary forces acting to scale back decades of work to improve actual diversity of backgrounds including race, national origin, genders, sexualities etc. in the workplace and positions of power. I'm not accusing him of using it deliberately in that sense but I think it's important to keep that connotation of this phrase in mind while discussing his talk.
I agree that these kinds of tests are terrible but I don't want to work for companies that have a bad recruitment process anyway - If their talent acquisition strategy has started to degrade then the level of talent in the company will start to taper off as well - To me, that's a signal that the company will stop growing soon.

Companies play the numbers game, so you have to play the numbers game too. When looking for a job, I usually apply for like 100 positions and maybe get like 50 calls/pitches from recruiters, then from there I pick maybe 5 to do the technical challenge - Out of those maybe 4 or 5 have a reasonable code challenge and I only attempt those.

Sometimes the tasks have a deadline; in these cases I will intentionally submit my code slightly late (but I make sure it's good quality); if the company is too upset about me missing the deadline (and ignoring the code quality) then I will cross them off (or they cross me off; it doesn't matter); I don't want to work for such companies.

Then I end up with maybe 2 or 3 really good offers with companies that match all my requirements.

My point here is that the recruitment process is a two-way street; you can test them as much as they test you. The recruitment process says a lot about the company if you know what to look for.

Indeed, in the later case, exceptions are really an unnecessary cost.

In fact, another argument which could be made against the use of exceptions is that the abstraction per se is not a really good mechanism for abstracting error handling. Explicitly handling errors - including try!() à la Rust and/or monadic composition of functions - usually leads to a better error coverage, as safety is enforced by the type system itself.
> What happens when we give these people (alt right, bigots, etc) platforms is they get followers.

Who are you to draw that line? This argument hinges on the belief that people attending these universities are not capable of critical and rational thought and should therefore be treated like children via a curated and censored list of speakers.

If you do believe that, then I hope you see that censorship does nothing but perpetuate a cycle of intellectual infantilism.

Have some faith in the truth. If it is true, then it will stand on its own, and if it is false it will eventually be exposed. For that to happen there must be debate.

I think your view of addition is not just lacking, but wrong. There is a school of thought that addicts don't have a choice, but if you follow that view and take rational choices you end up with even more punitive policies. The reality is you have a choice, and punitive measures don't really effect your choice that much. In fact given the option most addicts would choose to take real effective steps that would reduce their substance dependence if it were offered.

Punishment isn't the right solution, but neither is enabling. Portugal isn't some drug free utopia, they have just shown that society's response to drug additions isn't linear
Um. Doesn't "American Culture" consist of things like being welcoming of all people? Being inclusive? Allowing people their own individual freedom? Not having a caste system? Lack of a social class system?

Or perhaps we're talking about some different aspects of American culture here?

They also want to hi-jack the community that you have built around your site - or rather: what Disqus has fooled you into believing that you have.

I watch in fascination two twitter lists I've created - labeled for better or worse, "left" and "right". I routinely see both braindead namecalling and extremely well constructed arguments on both lists. And yet, the most fascinating aspect is that the authors almost invariably choose to ignore a well constructed argument against their point of view and choose to respond vocally and loudly to namecalling.

Perhaps it's not that there aren't worthy opponents, but that we deliberately choose to ignore them, because it's much easier to portray yourself as a paragon of virtue fighting against uncivilized, uncouth barbarians.

(Jonathan Frink voice intensifies) For a single assigning of range, you have a start point and end point which allows for 784 * 783 / 2 combinations which is ~300,000 but since some people might opt for multiple ranges (ie: S02E07 - S09E17 & S21E13 - S31E11), that expands the result space. At it's limit, people could simply list their qualifying and non-qualifying episodes in a binary fashion which results in 2^784 combinations which is approximately 10^(784/10*3) (because 2^10~10^3) or 10^235. This is far more than the global population so pigeonhole principle wouldn't apply.
I saw nothing about requiring email address usernames to be backed by an email provider in the documentation. The email address is literally just a username format and is authenticated by public key. Anyone concerned with the privacy of their actual email address would obviously not use that address as their user. As I understand it, you can just make one up for a username. If this is incorrect, someone more informed please reply.

You're probably both right. Japan Times is known for two things: rehashing other news and publishing original content that has all the pernicious and perverse qualities mentioned above. In the end, Japan Times is a blemish on journalism and has no meaningful connection to real life in Japan. It seems to appeal to a certain demographic of extremely angry and bitter gaijin expats who failed to find a place in Japan. As for rehashing other news, that's probably just how they keep the lights on.

I took his article as a statement against university protests against speakers, Milo most recently comes to mind.

Many faculty and students were against him speaking and protested. While my opinion on it certainly does not matter, I think those staff and students do have a say and should matter.

We cannot and should not say voices of protest should be ignored so hateful speakers get a platform. You may have faith in "rationality" winning out but I really don't. People really fall victim easily to blaming outside groups and get stirred up by hate speech.

But the list includes jst 6 groups:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Platform

> Al-Muhajiroun;

> British National Party;

> English Defence League;

> Hizb-ut-Tahrir;

> Muslim Public Affairs Committee.

> National Action

Some of these organisations are proscribed terrorist organisations, so not allowing them a platform isn't unreasonable.
"liberal values and ideals are seen as more intellectually correct"

The irony here is of course is that those complaining about not being heard on campuses today are actually the most privileged members of western society who support restrictions on media and suppression of freedoms for marginalized groups.

> Clearly, I'm not an expert in algorithms. There is no point in giving me binary-tree-traversing questions; ...I'm trying to be an expert in something else, like object-oriented design, for example.

I've always been surprised by the focus on algorithms in interviews. Maybe I'm an outlier but in my entire career I very rarely have to implement any complex, low-level algorithm - usually I can just use a standard library. But almost every day I'm using object oriented design to refactor code or meet new business requirements.
Facebook and in general Zuck scare me. They have way too much power at this point to use it towards their business model. We need to mandate Facebook to open up their social graph as a prerequisite to running their business. They also should not be allowed to acquire any other social networks going forward like Twitter. If possible, we should undo their WhatsApp and Instagram acquisitions.

I was once diagnosed with ADHD myself as a child. I have been unmedicated for 8 years now and been quite successful career wise, and academically. Though I do wonder if I could do better had I not had ADHD.

its not fair to conduct these studies solely on educational outcomes because educational outcomes in the west largely depend on how well you conform to the mean societal expectation of a successful archetype. many people have unique educational styles (ADHDers included). I myself personally learned more from the internet and reading books than I ever did in school.

I suspect successful engineers, start up CEOs, hacker types have higher prevalences of "learning disorders", ADHD, etc. Many did poorly in school, though many also excelled. I also suspect the same demographics are true of musicians and other artists.

The MAJOR caveat here, is that while these groups probably have higher prevalences, and these fields are more or less supportive of people with these issues, very few ADHDers can break into these fields and the average ADHDer probably will perform worse in life than the average person without.

Mostly conjecture, based on my own anecdotal evidence, but worth consideration.

Reminds me of my own story on a much smaller scale and at a much smaller company, but very similar experience so let me share it.

I recall my interview many years ago (10+ yrs) at a small Microsoft partner, this was when I was still working in banking but wanted to do more interesting work and grow my career. I was younger, ambitious and also as this post talked about, fairly new to the interview process.

I found them through a recruiter, they setup an interview and I was very anxious but excited, showed up ready to show them why I thought I could do the job they needed, why I could be a great senior .NET developer.

I met that day with one person, who asked me a bunch of very very narrow questions around some ASP.NET thing I never needed to do but could have Googled and figured out. But on the spot, if that was the scope of the interview, well then I was certainly not "qualified".

I then left, very confused and very demoralized. Is this what it meant to have interviews at jobs more interesting then some random NYC bank?

A short time later Microsoft recruiters called me back in regards to a resume I submitted 6+ months before all this started and totally thought that Microsoft didn't want me, I mean look at the crazy experience with the partner. But my buddy, a more senior developer told me "dude trust me, that was a BS interview, you HAVE to go to this interview and you'll see, you have a good chance".

The Microsoft interview was the standard Microsoft Consulting one, multiple people plus the hiring manager. I felt welcomed, they all focused on different technology and at a high level which made a lot of sense. I met my future manager, she seemed to like me. I got the job and I have not looked back, working now at Microsoft for 9 years. I was honestly very impressed with the Microsoft interview process and have helped hire others to the team over the years. It really works if you do it this way and the manager is included, but yeah many companies and even many teams within Microsoft don't do it that way and I don't get why.
