In some places (definitely in Norway) a green arrow doesn' just imply you can turn right if safe; it tells you other traffic is halted and you've got the intersection all to yourself.

I'm not really advocating for getting rid of take home tests entirely. There's a lot of value in seeing how someone approaches a known problem and being able to compare that to other solutions.

What I am asking is that companies don't ask me to invest hours of time before they decide if they're even interested in talking to me. At the very least I want to have had a phone interview and the chance to assess whether I'm even interested in working for you. That's particularly relevant when looking for remote friendly employers, I've had several calls in recent days from recruiters responding to me saying I'm looking for remote work which I stopped on finding out what they meant was "at least three months fulltime on site, and then maybe we'll talk about some remote work".

In one case, you need just the passphrase. In the other case, you need the passphrase and to hack Keybase's servers, which is considerably harder.
> Whenever I've had a whiteboard programming interview, it's always been a trivial problem that's a smoke test for "can this candidate actually write code or is their CV faked". I think it took somewhere between 5 to 15 minutes, which I consider to be rather well spent time compared to spending hours or days on a take home project or anything bigger.

That sounds pretty reasonable, but I don't think it's the norm. I had an interview over two afternoons with 5 or 6 different whiteboard coding challenges, each around half an hour and each much more substantial than a smoke test. They were things like parsing and evaluating a string with a simple arithmetic expression like "2+3*4+5" or taking a phone number and enumerating every possible alphabetic representation (2 is "a" "b" or "c", etc.).

Google has example whiteboard interview questions on YouTube, and one of them was writing a function in C++ that takes an array of integers and a target integer and calculates whether some subset of the array sums to the target integer.

Not the most difficult things ever, but hardly smoke tests, and pretty annoying to whiteboard in my opinion.
> Dresden is one of those rare german towns with US "Rechtsabbieger" rules

If it's anything like the picture, the reason right turns are allowed is the green arrow (it roughly translates to "when red, right turns are allowed if you don't interfere with other traffic"). I strongly doubt random towns in Germany can bypass the StVO (the laws which govern public roads).

EDIT: To clarify, I was born in Cologne, which is on the opposite of Germany, and green right arrows exist here as well and they are part of the material you learn for taking a driving exam.

Trump's victory showed the power of the uneducated. The Bachelors degree is not only a technical degree but especially in America, with a general education requirement, is also important to teach us citizenship, critical thinking, and educate us beyond our own narrow field. Knowledge of basic history (at least on a survey level) of our country and key places around the world, a basic understanding of our political system, and general knowledge is important to be better people and better citizens. Of course extremely smart people might be able to get this on their own but most of us aren't Mark Zuckerberg or Bill Gates.

I think you should open your mind and understand why they think or believe that. If you do, you'll probably save yourself an incredible amount of pain, suffering, and frustration.
If you're hiring backend engineers, code tests can be easily automated away on the correctness and efficiency aspects. Add lint on top and and an engineer eyeballing the style for a few minutes. Voilà, 4 reports per employee hour.

Exactly why I have a resistance to government 'solutions' when it comes to anything beyond constitutional basics. Governentnt is rarely more efficient than the free market/private sector. Those jackasses actually have the green and amber light bulbs included in the maintenance.. those bulbs got replaced as well. €5500 yearly -- even if a guy got paid €100 per hour, how could a a single light require that much expense? Is someone inspecting and maintaining it on a daily basis? Concierge traffic light service?

I dismiss it because its not well founded and socially regressive. "Eurocentric modernity" is basically the only context in history where women are even considered as first order citizens and not just as caregivers and housekeepers etc. This is because the female monopoly on birth has been expressly ignored (at least to some extent) while fleshing out the details of social morality and responsibility. This has been deliberate and difficult (see: feminism) precisely because the temptation to refer to "the natural order of things" is so great.

I consider myself open to other world-views (you may not, that's fine), but a criticism of my world view (me being a modern european and all) that starts the conversation in 18th century terms (from a european modernist perspective) is a non-starter. There is to much ground to cover between then and now, and if that ground is covered in the book, then that's certainly not reflected in the article.

No, the other arms of the intersection are actively using lights so by regulation this arm must also be light regulated. They can't remove it even if they wanted to.

I scribble in notebooks a lot too, but it's very rarely anything resembling pseudocode or any representation of the actual algorithm I'm working on. It's usually just a todo list, with occasional things heavily underlined so I don't forget them. I often do something similar at the end of the day if I need to remind myself where I left off. For me, it's not at all comparable to whiteboard coding.
By that logic, Windows (for example) should also be open-sourced, because people will write an open source equivalent from scratch. Writing an operating system from scratch is an unnecessary and tragic waste of resources.

So why not open source windows from the beginning and save billions, and a ton 'o precious programmer time?

Ask HN: Do you have a Privacy Policy and ToS for your side projects?
Do you have a Privacy Policy and/or Terms of Service page on your sideproject's website? If so, how did you get it? Did you write yourself, had a lawyer write it or used some online generator? What about a cookie consent popup?

Myself, I've recently realized I have a few sideprojects online that don't provide that information, so I started looking into it. If I find a decent template I'll probably add it to some of my sites.
I grew up in Fort Walton Beach! Spent 20 years there. Now live in Seattle. I've seen this!
“This difference compounds every year; over a decade, they can produce 30 times more than the rest, with the same number of employees.”

I am not sure if the math works out here. Unless they have also found a way to reinvest the output of this 40% extra productivity into more individual productivity which would be the real story.

I imagine this came from 1.4^10 = 28.9. This might make sense if they used the proceeds of the extra productivity to get more employees with equal productivity and so on..

-o / linear instead of refcaps?

"linear types" are certainly not linear. They are a simple reference capability, already in usage for decades. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-capability_model

e.g. https://tutorial.ponylang.org/capabilities/reference-capabil...

Consuming a value changes its type to enable reasoning for concurrency.

As to the claim: Sure. Not only makes a refcaps type system concurrency predictable, it also makes it decidable at compile-time, and much faster. rust could learn a lot from this to avoid locking.
Hello, I'm the creator of this game. I understand your feedback about the pricing. There was some early bird pricing for one deck but it's all gone. The best thing to do is to grab a friend that could like the project and order a double pack with the early bird pricing.
FYI, it's a double deck of cards and more a serious game than just a nicely designed card game so the usual pricing is around $30 (check the brand deck or Pitch deck on kickstarter).
Have you looked at the actual APIs? After last week's announcement, I talked to a friend who has, and apparently the PulseAudio API is much more straight-forward than the ALSA one. He voiced understanding for Firefox supporting PulseAudio instead of ALSA.

EDIT: Also, arguing that Firefox needs to support ALSA instead of PulseAudio because "PulseAudio cannot output to sound devices to ALSA" is similar to saying Firefox should be able to issue SATA commands directly because filesystems would not work without that.
It does. "Right turns only" is a white bent arrow on a blue ground. But it does not affect precedence like a red light with a green arrow does (or a stop sign would for that matter). You often see it on T-junctions with one-way roads.
That sounds pretty decent.
> In France and Italy, traffic lights are just recommendations. We once got honked at for waiting at a red light when there was no cross traffic.

I don't know about Italy, but in France red traffic lights are absolutely respected by everyone (almost, obviously there will always be people who run red lights).

You'd lose 4 of your permit's 12 points (6 points if you're a young driver) for running a red light, and depending on the policeman's judgement your license might get suspended for up to three years. It's among the highest class of violation you can make.

If you got honked at a red light, I suspect there was something you didn't notice, like a blinking orange light allowing your lane to pass, or something like that. Or just the driver behind you honking by error while fiddling with something in their car.

> The problem with whiteboards, is they're not reflective of real life. When was the last time you can honestly say you used a whiteboard to solve a programming problem instead of Googling and ending at a StackOverflow question with a great answer?

You expect people to write documentation and tests for an interview coding challenge? I sure hope you mention that expectation or at least strongly hint that you're looking for a production-ready coding mindset.

> why are students coming here and paying us money when better instruction is available for free online

I'm paying for it.

Cause I can get government assisted loans and go full time.

Also I get classmates that I can study together.

The environment of school, at least to me, enable to me to study and concentrate instead at home distracted.

Also I network with tons of people and all but one of my professors is my friend now. I have connection, hook up, network, etc... In fact I getting an internship through one of them working with the gov.

I could study online and continue as a programmer. But I rather go full time.

Also paying for a university via online degree I feel cheated. I want to see my professor face to face during office hours and ask for help and such.
Around here (Norway), stop signs are only used at particularly risky intersections.

To illustrate how rare they are, I can only think of two within a 100-mile radius[0] - both in places where you are about to enter a road with a 50mph/80kmh speed limit and where visibility is terrible in either direction.

[0] In fairness I should mention that 2/3 of that circle falls in the Norwegian Sea, where stop signs are exceedingly rare...
You stop and then wait your turn to proceed. This is the same meaning everywhere in the US and if there are additional restrictions there will be separate signs imposing them.

What is it that confuses you about them?
It's clip art. But we can't possibly use the existing term, just like we have to use "cloud" instead of "client/server."
Microsoft's Patch Tuesday releases for the month of March 2017
Ask HN: Is there an extension where you can follow specific user's comments?
I would love an alternate view of HN where my favorite users' most recent comments appear. I'm often more interested in the perspective of a few commenters than all of the links or comment threads.

I also think this would be an alternate and cool way to surface links--follow commenters you like.

Any thoughts?
Sail and relaxed shipping deadlines? Sure. But the engine being removed saves 2.3 kilotons and the fuel being removed saves 3 kilotons. On a ship that weighs about 50 kilotons and holds 150 kilotons of cargo. You can probably get the solar panels installed at less than 1 kiloton, and a battery that can hold a day's power is also less than 1 kiloton.

But even with an optimistic estimate of saving 10 kilotons, that's only a 5% reduction in ship mass.

You're also going to need a much bigger sail. The biggest skysail can save you 2MW right now. This ship uses something like 40MW or 60MW and solar panels might very roughly also give you 2MW.

So what you really need is a sail 10x the size. And once you have that, the question of whether your backup drive is diesel or solar becomes a lot less important.
Should I care about running PageSpeed Insights?
Surely, a stop sign:

Plus a "turn right only":
http://l7.alamy.com/zooms/95a9489a7d8b4c418cb6cfd3b6753295/r...

Would achieve the same effect? People would have to stop at the intersection, and then they can only turn right. Same as red light+green right arrow.

edit: sorry, yes, I now understand - it has to be a traffic light because all other sides have traffic lights.
Can you point to the exact page on Archive.org that has all of the courses?

This appears to be the Berkley page that links to all the available courses: http://webcast.berkeley.edu/series#c,s

I personally love whiteboards...but only for discussion of ideas. But interviewers seem to use it only to dock points.

"Oh this guy solved the problem on the whiteboard with good syntax but he uses new and delete. Must be a bad programmer."

I think docking points on whiteboarding just reflects how bad interviewers are at judging skills, possibly because they themselves suck at self-awareness and skills beyond their domain.
The charge is usually "public nuisance" or the local jurisdictional equivalent.

In case anyone is unfamiliar with the concept of public nuisance as a crime. It's pretty simple, "things that cause significant enough trouble for other people". Its the common sense escape hatch option for law enforcement being unable to see any other crime.

When testing APNG for a local project last year which involved only Firefox, I was trying to save some space and have better color support using APNG.

I found it to be quite buggy, slow, and even occasionally leading to crashes. I switched to webp. APNG was never given enough love, despite being a very useful format.
I don't see a problem with whiteboard interviews. I've been to a lot of interviews where they will ask me to explain an architecture and I ask them to do they mind if I draw it out while explaining it.

I've spent so much time in my career explaining architecture it's second nature for me to diagram while I'm talking.

During a whiteboard coding session in an interview, I would do some code and some pseudocode.

But at this point in my career if I saw that the interview was focusing more on coding than architecture/development process/automated testing that would be a big red flag.
Perhaps they could put a physical barrier in front of that, so that it's no longer possible to go forward, and then it's no longer part of the intersection?
Awesome! Exactly what I needed.

> why I paid what was essentially a $150+ premium over another product

Well you just won $10,000! ;-))
I don't know why you're being downvoted. You gave actually helpful, accurate, and actionable advice.
Well, one of the usual examples would be:

let ones = 1 : ones in ones

Here ':' is the cons operator, prepending something to a list, so here you defines 'ones' to be '1' followed by 'ones', which in (GHC) Haskell, compiles down to a datatype that has a pointer to the list element ('1') and the tail ('ones', i.e. itself).

EDIT: I realised I forgot to say what it actually does, in case that's not obvious. It's an infinite list of, well, ones...

I bought a PS4 just to play the latest MGS. That series of games is so amazing and the latest one is superb. Characters, cut scenes, missions, etc. are all extremely well designed.

I "beat" the game - it took me about 160hrs over 6 months (the game is fucking hard, and I'm very much a casual gamer who isn't very good at playing through games fast).

I'm only at about 60% completion of all the accomplishments you can get in the game (though I did complete the main story).

Highly recommended (if you're into sneaker games even just a little bit).
I believe the hate comes from unprecedented and hard CS questions asked on the whiteboard.

I recently went to an interview that asked me to balance a binary tree on a whiteboard. It can be done, and I can do it. Thing is when you go to interview for that company that has 2 developers(small team, small company) and ask you that kind of question it puts you off thinking that those guys won't be great to work with (arrogance etc comes in mind).

I am fond of simpler questions, like you said fizzbuz etc. Obviously if you are interviewing a guy that has 2+ years of experience, he has to be able to pass the fizzbuzz test.
When you are interviewing someone with 5+ years of experience for a higher up position I guess you do have to ask some harder question, but I personally think just speaking to the guy and asking him stuff about his past projects etc will give you a hint on if he has the skills he is talking about or not. Asking him to outline a hard task he took part and how he solved it is an amazing start. As a 5+ years guy personally would rumble about a few things and it would take me days talking about them. (That will give you an understanding if I've worked before or not on the things outlined on my CV).
