I agree with your idea of a proxy. Others seem to be interpreting it as asking trivia questions about your favorite pet projects and technologies. I don't think that's what you're doing.

In any given specialty, I think good developers will pick up the stuff around that specialty. Java devs will learn about Maven and git and maybe some JVM customizations to tweak memory usage. Rails devs will learn about which gems are widely-used to solve specific problems, and git, and maybe some devops/deployment stuff with SSH keys and Capistrano.

The particulars matter less than that there's some amount of holistic knowledge of their specialty. Of course one can argue the specifics (what if they've used svn but never touched git, etc)... but if there are no specifics -- if the candidate only knows their specific language of choice but nothing outside of it -- I would argue that they're probably not that great.

Dude, its an offhanded joke comment. I'll accept the downvotes if you don't find the humor funny. But please, don't bring forth this aggressive discussion style to YCombinator.

This ain't Reddit. YCombinator is supposed to be a way more mature environment.

I'll play "serious business discussions" on issues that actually matter or are of technical importance. But there's no need to be this aggressive on this humorous issue.
Which of these are missing right now? Is there a decent backend framework in Clojure?
Apparently this was an argument brought up back in 2014 as well[1]. While it focuses more on TV and porn instead of phones and 4chan, in the end the FCC only managed to actually use this power via the nature of the medium (since TV uses spectrum). The only internet that could fall under this is mobile internet, which already doesn't fall under net neutrality (since a lot of carriers have been introducing zero-rating for plans for awhile now without resistance).

No offense, but those are all anecdotal observations and include no demographic information. As one person in millions, why do you feel your unscientific observations on this topic are relevant?
We built a metrics relay using it (nats) and are pushing > 500k metrics per second in bursts just fine. I've been pretty blown away with the perf of it actually. That said, it isn't durable, so normal here be dragons warning apply.

That is pretty absurd.

This more absurd.

Not sure what else there can be if you create a normalized test that has been designed to predict success by being applied to your current employee population. Take away personal interviewing and voila. I can't judge this person on my inherent bias towards a race, gender, etc. if I can't see them or determine where they are from. The test should be the only bar required to grant a person an opportunity, nothing else. No need for resumes. https://hbr.org/2016/04/how-to-take-the-bias-out-of-intervie...
>(53%) also agree that “colleges have an obligation to protect students from offensive speech and ideas that could create a difficult learning environment.”

Yeah, but who decides what is offensive speech? If some Catholic students feels abortion or birth control are offensive ideas and discussing them are creating a difficult learning environment, should those ideas be banned from college to protect the students?
The great thing about capitalism is that it's agnostic about the solution, though. If the unconventional oil isn't there, there's a strong incentive to develop other energy sources like solar.

The previous energy crisis - Peak Whale Oil - was resolved that way. We didn't end up discovering a new source or species of whales. Instead, we found that this 300M year old black gunk that comes out of the ground could be refined into all the products that we used whale blubber for, plus several others. And there was much more of it available, and it took a lot less labor.

Thanks in advance!
A dynamically typed language is a statically typed language with precisely one type.

It is extremely easy to use haskell in "dynamic mode". Just use `ByteString`(or Data.Dynamic for safety/convenience) for all your data. Types just present a way to encode some statically known guarantees about the structure of your data/code. You are free to not encode any properties if you want to.

But it is very rare that the data you are working with requires the full generality of `ByteString`. You usually have some sort of structure rather than just working with strings of zeros and ones.

In my humble opinion, America has fallen into a mindset of righteous indignation. This can be defined as simply one person's opinion is believed to be superior over another, but instead of an understanding that this can be true, or false, or neither, there is an overwhelming compulsion for people to demand their opinion reign supreme, even if it harms the other person. This goes beyond simple disagreement, and takes on a malicious form to silence disagreement, force acquiescence, and punish dissenters.
Dwelo | Software Engineers | San Francisco Bay Area and Salt Lake City | Full Time

Dwelo is the operating system for apartment communities. Our software, hardware, and service platform enables the owners and managers of multifamily properties to offer smart homes as an amenity to their residents while simultaneously improving the efficiency of their operations.

The engineering work we do has hardware (IoT, cellular, zwave and other forms of connectivity) and cloud (AWS, Twilio Sync) components. We are especially interested in talking to engineers who build with Python, Rust, and Scala. However, anyone who loves to see their software manifest real life effects on the corporeal world, or do predictive analytics on millions of sensor readings from networked devices, or create a magical and eminently accessible experience in the homes and communities of our residents and the operations teams that support them should talk to us.

He is worried about distractions from other websites/apps if I had to guess and or does not need all extra features.
Right, which seems sort of exactly the argument in the article. "Numbers" are just us extrapolating from "quantity".
If the candidate is hopelessly stuck in a state of circular analysis paralysis then the quality and thoroughness of their answer would ultimately suffer. It would demonstrate either poor decision making, weak communications skills, or limited comprehensiveness.

There are a lot of candidates who need to have their hands held by a parent authority or are hopelessly incapable of forming original ideas. This is a means of identifying such people so that they can be removed from consideration.

> Do you expect the candidate to ask for clarification, or is that a bad sign already (since they were to dumb to understand your "simple question")?

If I had to answer the question for the candidate, then yes, I would consider that a bad sign. It is a simple hypothetical question demanding a hypothetical response.
> And after all that said, no one can still name just 1 / like they name Stalin?

Uh, since I said the list included all three Premiers that were also General Secretaries of the CPSU, that's equivalent to naming Kruschev. (Lenin was before Stalin and Stalin was Stalin.)

> Which is all similar to the various radioactive Plutonium isotopes.

Arguably, in the case of Marxism vs. Leninism, it's more similar to the relation between the abstract concept of a “democratic republic” and the concrete state known as the “German Democratic Republic.”

Polling and statistical generalisations hide a lot of detail - they can generally identify the what, but whether they get the why is much more hit and miss.

Most obviously without anecdotal reports on what people believe, pollsters would not know what questions to ask.

I don't have an issue with PC culture. It's a way for us to be trained to show empathy and respect for others. "PC Culture" online gradually trained me to not be homophobic and to become accepting of the LGBT community civil right fight. That's just one of several examples that have helped me evolve in the last decade. If the objections to my speech/actions were silenced or discredited it's a good chance I'd still have those myopic views
Nicely done! :)

Assuming this is a serious question, I think you will know the answer if you look at how any braille display works. They basically "display" one line of text in braille at a time.

So unless you can appreciate your pixel graphics one printed line at a time, it's unlikely that any blind person will be able to get any benefit from this application.
Reselling Western goods such as jeans that weren't available in stores is a very different story.
In the Information Age most people with an interest in an issue will have already heard “your” opinion on it, because most people have off-the-shelf opinions that have already been widely circulated.

Until etiquette and discourse norms evolve to incorporate this understanding conversations will be frustrating for everyone!

I'm curious about how they envision remediation of the decline of religion without shoving it down people's throat.
I'm surprised its only 71%
I've seen this as well. The above opinions are held by the majority of trump supporters I know and have been held for a long time before trump.
I have learned over many years, that polling data is rarely ever correct and usually contains a severe bias. This same poll can be conducted by a different organization with the exact same sample population and the finding will be "71% of Americans Say Political Correctness Has Enhanced Discussions." Both will have data to back up their claim. And that's why polls are one of the worst ways to obtain information

Facebook | Solutions Engineer | Menlo Park, NYC, Seattle, Austin, London, Dublin, Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong | Onsite

Solutions Engineers at Facebook spend roughly half their time working with product engineering teams and writing production code. The other half of their time is spent working directly with partners to develop and execute their Facebook technology strategy.

We find that this setup is great for engineers that want to spend more time on the business side of things or have more people interaction while still being hands on with code.

This allows large advertisers to work directly with people at Facebook that have a knowledge of the ads codebase, and Solutions Engineers can implement great suggestions made by partners.

This is even understating it -- it's not like he used existing software to lay out the chip, and then ran tests using PSPICE to verify the functionality. He wrote his own chip design software and analog simulator, and designed the chip in his own environment, and created the CPU, the GA144: a working 144-core processor designed to run "ArrayForth", a parallel version of Forth that he designed and authored, just as he designed ColorForth, and just as he designed, once upon a time, the language known as Forth.

Any of the tasks above seem like it would be a reasonable accomplishment for a good programmer. Combined, they make me question whether I even qualify as a developer by this standard, and make me wonder whether I should take a year off of development and just really learn Forth.

As an end user, I don't care what format Airborn uses internally. What matters is that I can interact with documents and files sent to me by other people, which are likely authored using Microsoft Office, Libreoffice, and Google docs.

As a developer, I would ideally recommend to look into using a custom internal representation for a document and developing converters that convert between your representation and various formats. This way you won't be hindered by limitations of a specific format.

However, if you lack the resources to develop and maintain these converters yourself, look into the feasibility of leveraging LibreOffice by using a preexisting format like WordProcessingML as an internal format. You can then use LibreOffice to handle the conversion between the various formats you want to support. The downside to this is that you'll eventually outgrow WordProcessingML if you want to support futures not supported by that specific format.
It seems like that would depend on the era we're talking about. Party lines were a thing in the US, too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Party_line_(telephony) That suggests they were still in widespread use in the 1970s. One imagines that other countries had them for longer yet.
