How hard a question is "What is 1% of 300?"?

This video from Turin disconcerted me.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6SjBvk8ScU

The makers did say that most people got it right and what we see here is slanted towards the ones that didn't. I asked several managers at work if they'd expect their minions to be able to do it (Note: wasn't asking them to do it) and several said no because the question is unreasonably hard. So hmm.

The survey mentioned in the video is also of some interest. The questions are not very ambitious at first sight but e.g. knowing/caring
about diversity of investments seems a bit
implausible if you don't have any savings.
Can you also assume absolute trust with the party you are communicating with?
The problem may become delivering the key securely though. It probably has to be agreed upon in advance by the people being physically in the same location. But then each key still only usable for a single message. I think number stations communicating with spies use one time pads?
Classically mail was always downloaded from the MTA to your local MUA (outlook, thunderbird etc).
Out of interest, how did you go about actually getting the interviews?

Unlike you, I have a CS degree, and I've applied to the top five a few times now. Microsoft and Amazon contacted me, and after I agreed to an interview they both went quiet. Facebook never got back, and Google rejected me twice after sending in my CV.

I've tried a number of ways, through LinkedIn, direct applications, and even asking face-to-face at conferences, but it feels like I've angered some almighty tech god because none of them seem remotely interested, or are happy to tease me with an interview, only to ignore me after I reply.

I've always assumed that if it's this hard for me, then it must be as hard, or harder for others, so it'd be interesting to hear about the actual process of getting an interview from your perspective.
Still, the topic is gitter. Please help keep HN noise free and useful by staying on topic.
I'm like you, so that makes at least two of us.

TL;DR - you don't have to chase exponential growth; there are other business models which might suit your business better.

Perhaps a title change? It sounds awfully dramatic as it stands.
How about asking questions to get to know somebody and let them get to know you, rather than just going out there on a mission of conquest based on superficial attraction alone?

This is truly pathetic.
This mindset applies to many things besides growth. For example, how much money (as an annual income) is enough for you? Have you ever sat down and reasoned it out? I see many people stuck chasing larger and larger payouts, to the extent it makes them unhappy or even unwell, who never stopped to consider how much money was enough.
That is an example of a small fry that did not scale

It is a dogma that React has an "extremely simple" public interface. It's got two different flavors of "components", "lifecycle hooks", "synthetic events", "prop types", and more that I'm missing.

Why do you assume that vanilla JS code is terrible? Is it because the average developer can not be trusted to write competent code without the conventions of a framework? If one cannot write competent code without being completely dependent on frameworks, I wouldn't trust them to write code at all.

Nurse Email List - List of Registered Nurses – MedicoReach
My native tongue is Lithuanian. There was never a inanimate/neuter gender and we got masculine/feminine ingrained deeply in the language.

Some people say Lithuanian has kept most of proto-Indo European features. If that's true, inanimate/neuter had to evolve later than gender split.
> how are new genders decided?

Many new nouns are nouned forms of verbs. In German there are a bunch of fixed suffixes for turning verbs into nouns, and they have their own fixed genders: "-er" (masculine), "-ion", "-ung", "-age" (feminine), "-en" (neutral).

For other words, speakers, over time, sort of converge on a consensus, which may only be regional. For example, in some regions "Cola" (the drink) is "die Cola" (female), in others it's "das Cola" (neutral).

Others... not sure. "Mobile phone" is "das Handy" (neutral), I guess from "das Telefon". I'm fairly sure "das Internet" came by analogy from "das Netz", which is the German word for "net".

I agree with commenter. My particular problems (not all about UI).

- Submenu is so gray its hardly visible (the one showing files, commits etc)

- Pipeline interface is horrible. If job is manual it cant be executed from the job page or repeated with latest code without resurfing trough menu.

- Project builds can not be deleted in bulk without using API

- Public projest are basically hidden, I have to explain to everybody how to find something.

- Snippets do not have comments if not part of project.

- Code review not possible outside of commit.

Secure messaging on a bockchain. Due to the fact you no longer have to trust a 3rd party.

If you choose the Bitcoin blockchain then you can send your encrypted data and no-one will know who decrypted it due to the P2P nature of the network. Every node receives every message.

Example.

AES encrypt your message with a key you both know.

Add it to the message field of a bitcoin tranasction.

The person at the other end decrypts any transaction they find with a message until they find one which does decrypt with that key.

For more securtity you can hide the message in the content of the transaction. i.e. the public keys you pay to.

> Probably not something international software is aware of.

Collation rules that vary by locale exist for this reason, and all major programming languages and OS'es support this. Of course whether the software you use does this or not depends on the developers writing the software.
The electromagnetic force does not know the true distance, here the ruler is more of a theoretical construct.

Perhaps it helps, if you think about it as moving the underlying coordinates vs moving the particle. (There is no difference between the two pictures in the theory only the relation between coordinates and atoms appear. Sort of, at least.) So, if you apply a force to an atom, that means that the second derivative of its position changes. On the other hand, if we imagine for a moment that the atom is stationary and the coordinates change, then the second derivative of its position will change and it will therefore feel a force, gravity.

I think there might be a potential problem there in that retaliatory downvoting might be used as a weapon to disincetivise criticism, especially when (unavoidably) defensive retaliatory downvote cliques form.

So I think I would be okay with a mandatory anonymous reply as a precondition for downvoting.
His initial argument is that it's okay to be mediocre because continuous success is just a "paradigm." That much was already clear. His argument falls apart when he tries to justify having enough, since that contradicts his initial argument. If continuous success isn't written in stone, then neither is having enough.

Nokia's anecdotal demise isn't a reason to not seek continuous success. In fact, one could use that same anecdote to argue that having enough leads to failure.

Distance between a founder and the product isn't an argument for not seeking continuous success. Some people prefer that distance and consider separation of labor to be more efficient.

It's clear that DHH has some bias against success. Given articles like this and his public bet that Facebook's share price would fail. It isn't based in logic though, just ideology.
Signal, Wire, Privus SecurLine, Riot (Matrix), Threema are good candidates for audio and text secure communications.

Some leak metadata, some have countermeasures like not using own's phone number (SecurLine and Threema) or using fixed bitrate for audio calls (Signal, Wire, SecurLine).

If you want privacy and trust choose a solution in that you can audit the source code and that it is verified by a third party auditor.

Port is always masculine though, it only means port/harbour.

But it's not that important, gender does add some redundancy and some error-correction to a language. It's not necessary (as shown by English) but it has some use.

Replaying the recorded code under either rr or UndoDB would have revealed that something odd was going on in the CPU when the recording replayed differently depending on whether HT was enabled. Obviously finding this would have required that the tester replayed the recording multiple times with and without HT enabled
The whole piece is a bit verbose, but the writer has a point. A lot of people are never satisfied, and that doesn't make the world a better place.

The irony is unsatisfaction is rewarded. You can earn millions of dollars with making the world less beautifull, by selling people bad loanes or artificially keeping medicine prices high.

I don't know if people can learn to have enough, or 'the system' must enforce it a little bit.

What about angular speed, though? My physics is very rusty where it comes to rotating things, and I don't recall dealing with rotation on relativity classes in school. Since you can derive momentary linear speed from angular speed and distance from centre of rotation, I assume there is no absolute angular speed either?

React's complexity literally only exists for two reasons:

1. To sidestep problems with the DOM. The virtual DOM helps with performance, and fibers help with responsiveness.

2. To implement reactive components. Virtual DOM makes rebuilding sub trees of the DOM cheap, making it possible to have clean components that don't need to constantly attempt to tweak the DOM. Doing this style of programming without DOM diffing is possible, but much slower.

There are other approaches, but this one is significantly nicer to code for than DOM binding and is significantly faster than any naive approach.

Yes, you can extract the essence of React into a several kb bundle. It's been done to death. But why? React is fast, mature, has a great ecosystem, and it's nice to code for. It does nice things like seamlessly support SVG and intelligently batching changes. If you're truly making a complex app, it's worth the bump in bundle size.

The largest part of any web app is the browser. If the DOM wasn't so bloated and ridiculous, maybe we wouldn't need to spend all of our time minimizing our interactions with it. But if you try to count all of the work the browser has to do to layout and render one DOM element, suddenly React feels very tiny.
Why do they need all these orthography reforms anyway? Like with the reform of 1996 - it was supposed to simplify things, instead they tend to introduce a huge set of rules and a bunch of exceptions to these rules; as a result it gets to be more complicated than before...
IRC is not going anywhere but projects like neovim use gitter primarily while IRC is linked using a bot. They view the IRC chat in gitter.

I don't think IRC is going anywhere either... We just have alternatives to freenode now in Gitter

Car analogy was just so say that external API does not necessarily reflect complexity of the implementation.

How much of the buzzword is dependency injection you understand when forced to go through entire codebase and replace instantiation of some concrete class with something saner.

Not every user of some framework is its fanboy, some just choose based on the value they think particular framework provides.
And React is not a framework.

> i.e. the public keys you pay to.

Or the public keys you pay from. You can break a txn into multiple components, each of which is formed as a function of a deterministic wallet. By having multiple change addresses you'd have more message space.

> Every node receives every message.

You could even send it with a very low mining fee, and theoretically the message would disappear. But it would require gaming of the system, because many nodes wouldn't pass-on txns that don't have a minimum txn fee.

This functionality is one of the key reasons that blocksize space needs to be controlled on a block-chain.
Hi there! I've published a dictionary extension in the Google Chrome store recently and it would be nice to get some feedback.

Generally, the extension provides a translation for a selected word directly on the web page, but there are several features that set it apart from similar extensions out there.

Firstly, you can see both the definition in your target language and the translation into your native language in the same pop up window. I myself have found it really useful when studying English. I look at English-English aka definitions most of the time but with some words, like nouns, for example, a direct translation works better. The extension currently supports 19 languages.

Secondly, you can use the extension as a dictionary app by opening it in its own browser window/tab and typing in words you want to look up. Again you can see both definitions and translations so you get the same look and feel as in a pop up window.

And finally - I read a lot online and even though at my level of English the unknown words I look up are not the most frequently used ones, I still want to further grow my vocabulary, both passive and active. The extension, being a part of a bigger vocblocks project (https://www.vocblocks.com), helps with this too. It captures words I look up together with their context (the sentences they were found in), packages them on https://www.vocblocks.com into a special block of vocabulary, aka a vocblock, and sends email notifications prompting me to practise the words on the spaced repetition schedule.

Startups in London will offer shares for senior positions in much the same way as San Fran, normally with a vestment period, but it's not as common.

I'm not 100% on what the 3x rule is.

What I do know is that most of my contractor friends are on around £500 per day, which assuming a 260-workday year is 130k. There's a couple of oracle DBA's on around 800pd, which is 208k.

But then you have to administer a database & there's only so much I'd be prepared to do for money.

As a contractor, normal tax rules don't apply (and are normally much more beneficial). So a contractor earning 90k & a FTE earning 90k still results in the contractor coming out miles ahead in terms of raw income.

Obviously there's offsets to this. No sick pay, no paid leave, no free pension contributions etc.
