> I also do not have a degree. In my current role, I was hired on the spot leaving the conference room after my interview.

Sounds like a broken hiring process.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not at all saying you're bad it your job. I'm saying your employer got lucky.

> I used to be an infrastructure engineer. Now I'm in security architecture. What work would you have someone like me show that I did the work I claimed to be doing other than me explaining to you what I did and how I did it?

There's absolutely nothing stopping you publishing part of your solutions to Github, along with published articles explaining what you did and why you did it.

You've simply chosen not to, and you've artificially limited your hiring prospects by not doing so. You could have a better job.
The only people who leave me voice messages in 2018 are unsolicited job ‘recruiters’ here in London. It’s guranteed when I have a voice mail it’s them, like it’s 1998.
Two month ago I started a game project with the aim to get into webassembly and rust. Therefore I created a devblog which I try to maintain constantly. The project is open source on github. However I'm currently working on a auto-generated map component which will be one of the core components.
> There's absolutely nothing stopping you publishing part of your solutions to Github, along with published articles explaining what you did and why you did it.

Except my intellectual property copyright assignment from both employers. This is pretty standard, even in startups. Your suggestion is unreasonable.

My current job is pretty phenomenal (I do security for financial markets). Definitely interested if you know someone paying more than $230k/year for my skill set. Cash is king.
There is DeBroglie-Bohm which says the photon only goes through on slit, the waveform goes through both. The singlr photon interacts with the waveform which influences its valid locations on the detector/screen producing the interference.
I realize that it might sound like that. But I would paraphrase his point like this:

"C++ programmers spent a ton of time learning C++ so they're not going to switch to a language that isn't C++"

Which is basically saying that none of the design decisions that went in to Go matter to C++ programmers because at the end of the day, Go isn't C++. Which in turn is pretty damn uncharitable towards C++ programmers. A lot of technical criticism was offered, but it's easier to ignore that and focus on something you cannot change.
"Races" as they exist at all are essentially crude amalgamations of phenotypes and regional groupings, they are not genetically precise labels that we can use to draw definitive conclusions regarding genetics. This doesn't mean that we cannot observe patterns or make predictions about racial groupings, only that those observations are ascribed to a grouping that does not account for the complexity of genetics beyond what can be detected by the naked eye.
I think you are the one who should be gotten rid of. Your blame-game attitude is toxic to your team. You should be teaching and showcases, not putting down and ignoring issues.
Did any smaller percentage of Americans go along with McCarthyism? The mechanisms of delivery are the excuse used to keep people blind to the faults that lay within.

One aspect of IQ is your ability to solve certain kinds of abstract problems. OP asked what if the IQ tests just test your ability to solve certain kinds of abstract problems.

OP's post didn't seem like a genuine academic inquiry but instead a weak emotional attempt to dismiss something they don't like.
Its been done before. Apple and Pixar did well under one leader for a time. "Huge job" is relative to the person and their management style. If he has realtively independent and driven teams for each company that require little micromanagement than his job may not be as much work as you might imagine. Who knows though?
So of the 7.4% of users who pushed more than 10 times in the last year, how many are bootcamp students? (after you remove the big,open source projects like all the big companies have up there) I just think these students should know this.

Granted, this seems like a case that's less malice and more adequately explained by stupidity.
Sure they do - they just own and operate them themselves.
Sure:

"Apple Computers is a famous example: it was founded by (mostly Republican) computer engineers who broke from IBM in Silicon Valley in the 1980s"

The level of stupidity in this quote is unbearable. Basic fact checking for 5 seconds on Google would have been enough...

Now take that and apply the Murray Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect.

And that's before we get into ignominious phrasing such as "I would like to end, then, by putting in a word for the non-industrious poor. At least they aren't hurting anyone."

Debt is a book written backwards. It starts with and idea: capitalism is bad and debt is the instrument of capitalism. It then piles up and links selected - but vague and frequently unsourced - anecdotes to try to create a logic supporting that idea.

From an economics perspective, it isn't even wrong. But it does sound appealing to anyone who has debt or dislikes capitalism. Therefore, I expect a lot of downvotes.

Kinda related to this, probably a good idea to re-evaluate EQ while we're at it. Although, my gut feeling is that a healthy mix of IQ and EQ makes good worker bees (if that's the metric we're interested in).

I've actually never even tried to understand people's issue with tables. I think there are important places to take stands in my life and I guess that <table> isn't one of them. I'm more of a "generalist" than a front-end dev but that being said, I would guess that you would have more control for responsive layouts with bootstrap's grid system than using HTML tables. If I'm using table cells I can have them stretch or squeeze to fit the screen but it's trivial with Bootstrap's grid to change the number of div's in a row depending on screen size. I don't believe that is achievable with basic HTML tables.
no doubt, but also the teslas were all released later than expected, too, IIRC.
Managing complex DOM transformations and avoiding pageloads on every change do carry benefits.

Some examples: chat, Facebook-like functionality, complex custom interfaces.

There is however a strong tendency to build complex front-end apps because of the trend to do so. This increased complexity results in higher costs without significant benefits (I’m very open to changing my mind).

Turbolinks for example is a fantastic backend-agnostic library which eliminates the pageloads in CRUD apps at close to zero development costs and makes the speed almost indistinguishable from SPA implementations.

I highly recommend this talk on managing the complexity of basecamp and sharing a codebase between web and native apps.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SWEts0rlezA

Unless you’re building extremely complex interfaces and if you are able to correct for trendiness you may conclude that a monolithic app with possibly Turbolinks and some front end sugar is the best choice.

You can always offload some work to the client once you get to a billion users and servers become too expensive. Until then maybe focus on launching.

Windows looks like they fired all their designers and let developers make the interfaces. It seems like a waste that we go to high resolution screens and take all the detail out of interfaces.
Funny you should bring that up, I pondered the term "quotient" yesterday, and guessed it must be from latin "quot" (what? yes, "what?"). The mantra goes "dividend / divisor = quotient". Sure you need to take the nominator into account, but where do you draw the line? On the one hand, the environmental factors are averaged because it would be hard to draw a line for each individual. On the other hand, the real kicker is to take two tests, and divide the two quotients, eliminating constant factors and only looking at the rate of improvement. Of course the assumption of constant environmental "divisors" is illusionary, only symbolic.

"Quotient" is very fitting also because testing is trying to divide subjects into groups. "Divide" is also very fitting: "vide" ("see") is heavily linked to knowledge, ob-vi-ously (more strikingly in German: "offensichtlich").

In fact, language started out as sign language, and simply looking into a direction is used as a sign even by apes. I believe "to tell" also derives from that. So there is a strong connection between visual thinking and language ... and math: It's symbolic reasoning, even to tell derives from counting (as in
"to recount a story", e.g.) -- "tell" and "talk", etc, ultimitely derive from * del (de-?), "speak" is similar to "spy" and "spect", this is really fundamental; Which brings me back to divide, "di-" is akin to "two". Learning is inherently about telling two things appart.

For complex problems, talking up in terms of two is far too inefficient, though. E.g. we see three dimensions and so on and so forth. So, I guess IQ testing concerns the ability to coordinate X associations at once. It is not about head-nuts. Only, for higher X it will generally involve reading comprehension. And I can report that there is a sharp cut-off at some X for me. The time limit then is only set to a limit at which solving at all is increasingly unlikely. But, I guess the tests are biased to which coordination tasks are usually performed, ie. which capabilities can be expected. This will be tested in the beginning of a test as control.

So, those tests are engineered to test intelligence in combination with specific domain skills, which are expected prerequisit in specific domains. That is circular rsasoning, yes, circjlar reasoning is fundamental, because ... counting is based on the two modulo ring (that satisfies the me, at least, although of course there's much more to it).

I am aware of that study, and it is not what I am looking for. It does not control for prenatal environment or even fully control for postnatal environment prior to adoption. It does not even control for the cause of putting children up for adoption across races.
Well, the last time intelligence studies achieved political importance, we ended up with the eugenics movement, which was

Sort of--you get dynamic types, so you can stuff whatever you want into your collections. You can do that in Go, too--just use interface{}. Sadly, that has not quieted the Generics Brigade.

If you used arrays in PHP, or Ruby, or Python, you can get those--with static typing!--in Go, either with slices for sequential arrays, or maps for associative arrays. I think that satisfies the vast majority of collection use-cases that arise in practical applications of those three languages.

(Note: I think generics would be a Good Thing for Go, and I think they'll probably happen at some point. They keep doing user surveys, and the user surveys keep bringing up the lack of generics as one of if not the number-one issue that users would like to see addressed.)

It reminds me of why the protobuf compiler had never received any functionality regarding the generation of python code with the redefined library roots [1]: Google has a monorepo, therefore they never needed this. It is especially amusing when it is later being explained [2]:

That's just outright factually inaccurate. Are you expecting employers to hire on blind faith? If employers are hiring without evidence to support your skill-set, then their hiring process is broken.

I haven't had any publicly accessible work to show off since I posted a HyperCard stack on AOL and freeware FTP sites while I was in college in 1995. I've been working as a professional developer since 1996, have never been asked to show code and have a pretty good track record for getting jobs based on solely my interview skills and knowledge.

At this point in my career, few companies waste time even asking me about technical trivia. I talk about the projects of the teams I've been on and led. I've gotten jobs over the past 10 years where I didn't meet half of the requirements going in.
Nobody actually wants to make the most informed decision, what they really want is to make the right decision. There's all kinds of places where additional information leads to worse decisions:

I wrote on a similar topic [1], about writing system libraries in Rust with a C API and bindings to other languages.

Which covers a bit of this, plus some of the sharp edges of FFI. Most of the trickier parts of it are covered in the FFI omnibus [2]. Also worth checking out is the cbindgen tool [3].

I use it for a web app and find that version 2 is super stable and though there are some minor issues, I am able to work on Mac with Visual Studio Code while my teammate uses Visual Studio on Windows. It's the best of all worlds at this point and Microsoft is investing in it to the point that it doesn't feel like a potential liability the way some of their dead end projects have ended up.
What is interesting is that Rust has seen a lot of interest from C++ programmers.

Many C++ programmers like the fact that it takes their informal rules of safe memory/thread management (use RAII, don't use raw pointers, don't use mutable shared state, be careful of iterator invalidation in containers) and formalizes them in the type system so the compiler can check them.

In addition, Rust has some nice features like pattern matching, algebraic data types, and Traits that are not yet available in C++.

Go on the other hand, was not as compelling to C++ programmers.
My biggest complaint with Hulu is the watermark/bug they add to everything. It is large, unsightly, and can be very bright compared to the actual content. I signed up for Hulu ad-free premium, but dropped it because of the bug.

Broadcast tv, satellite, and cable networks often have a bug show up when a show returns from commercial break. It is somewhat transparent with dulled colors, and often disappears after a short period of time.

Hulu's bug is large, less transparent, bright white, and sticks around for the entire show.

It was pretty bad when watching something with a dark scene - bam - blinding white watermark distracting from the actual content.

Without looking around at all, I recall that only Tacitus mentions the "Keltike", which is a Greekism and not Roman, so I'm probably wrong a bit. I believe that there are very, very few refs to Celts pre-modern revivalism. I think Tacitus mentions them as located in what we would think of as Belgium (nee bit of France, sort of).

I think that Celt is generally confused with Briton (Preton/Pretanike - Pytheas) thanks to some fanciful thinking over the last few hundred years. You might also notice: Britany - a region of modern France. The "indigenous" Britons were duffed up by various invaders. The Scots migrated from Ireland and the Picts went the other way etc etc. Angles and Saxons, Norwegians and Danes farted around at various times (we had a King Knut/Canute famous for talking to the sea - he didn't really - he was emphasising how the sea is unstoppable (or was he!)

These isles off of the left hand side of mainland Europe have a pretty complicated history but perhaps not as complicated as say what we now know as France, Germany, Italy and co.

The Celt thing is a bit ambiguous at best ...
>If employers are hiring without evidence to support your skill-set, then their hiring process is broken.

No one does this. It's just that talking is not evidence enough like it is for other industries because interviewers don't know the right questions to ask. So they add code challenges to fill in the gaps.

It's saying "your previous experience doesn't actually matter that much and we only care if you can actually put code down in the limited fashion of our technical tests". People are naturally annoyed at having to prove they know the basics after 3-5 years in the field.

There's definitely some who hire engineers based on conversation only though. If they can, why can't others?
So am I downvoted because the downvoters believe race and intelligence is linked, or because we have some staunch Psychology defenders?
Who cares that the dollar gradually declines in value? Only fools literally invest long-term in the dollar itself (the "under the mattress" approach). And if you're investing in any productive asset of actual value, inflation doesn't matter. (I can understand being leery of non-inflation-adjusted bonds.)

All that really matters is that the dollar doesn't significantly lose value between payday and tax time – which by definition, it doesn't, since tax rates are fixed in dollars a year ahead of time anyway.

I won't bother to argue the virtues of inflation with you, since it seems clear you've made up your mind about that "propaganda". But to claim that controlled inflation is inherently a "bad" thing – for no reason other than that it causes a thing with no inherent value to decrease in perceived value – belies a misunderstanding of value.

When you put it like that, sure. But Matrix is federated (sort of like IRC but it's "open federation" in that any room can be shared between home-servers) and has e2e encryption.

If you want to talk with other people then I would recommend Matrix.
The Bolt sort of shows that Tesla isn't all that revolutionary. The Model 3 beats in on a bunch of measures, but they are all modest wins, a bit better range, a little faster acceleration, etc.

I'm not suggesting you publish their IP. However, you've the legal right to learn (utilise and transfer between employers) skills that you learn on the clock.

You are absolutely entitled to publish (in one form or another) your personal learnings. Your contract with your employer may (if you have an extremely restrictive contract) simply prevent you claiming you're using those skills as part of your current role.

If employers had the right to prevent you utilising skills you learned on the clock, you'd have to somehow unlearn skills and start from scratch at every new job - that's not how it works.
