If you have a startup or a high profile job, blog or tweet as your own persona about topics that do not fall under your line of work, but are still interesting to you.

Keep up friendships and dating and when you talk about work, only do so when it is a good story.

Socialize with people that live differently than you. There’s nothing as encouraging as talking with a bartender your same age that has a few housemates and can’t decide if they should go to grad school. You realize that you have lots of time to figure things out and to try many things in life
First time I'm hearing of these guys, however I'm not sure where -- if anywhere -- it says that only fit able-bodied should apply. In fact, the words "fit" and "able" aren't even anywhere in the page. The title of this post is incredibly misleading.

The company seems to have a culture of being incredibly health conscious. I'm very health conscious myself, but yes, to be honest, their method turns me off. However, I'm sure there's people out there that share the culture and values of this startup, and would work well here.

This post just seems to be meant at instigating online fights.

> "var" is meaningless, requiring you to dig back one or more steps to determine the actual type.

> You don't actually need to enter in the type, any competent IDE can do it for you.

These two points contradict each other. Any competent IDE can visualize the inferred type even if you don't spell it, for example as a tooltip.

This is not (only) about typing, it's about the visual noise and redundancy caused by explicit types. Plus, as the article illustrates, the ability to give names to expressions that have very complex types, reducing the need for type erasure.

the authors make some good points, but i have a different perspective when it comes to criticizing science.

1. criticism is easy. penetrating criticism that demands an answer beyond the evidence already presented lest the criticized appear totally defeated is hard. it's also the only kind of criticism worth doing, imo.

2. being listened to is a matter of having penetrating criticism and offering a reasonable alternative. if you destroy, you must offer a chance to rebuild afterward, or else the criticism will be too uncomfortable to respond to, and nobody will appear to listen as a result. if you are skeptical of this point (as you should be) refer to the position of string theory within the world of particle physics; its criticism of the mainstream is very difficult to recover from if accepted, and there's no real mental way forward as a result.

3. it sucks to have your work criticized in public -- it's intolerable, even. but it sometimes gets results. it also sucks to have someone be impolite to you. but i am sure we can all remember a time that someone (perhaps a teacher or parent) has corrected us impolitely when we did not deserve courtesy. you need to retain the ability to dismiss cranks out of hand once you've suitably proven that you can beat them by making a diligent argument. anything else would lead to your time being wasted rehashing the same mistakes of others in detail.

4. scientists are, very frequently, in their professional life, jerks. i am speaking from my own experiences and my own actions. the OP doesn't exactly brush on this, but sometimes being a jerk to the right people is what makes you the right friends. you don't really want to be friends with baddies anyway. this next point is super important and directly related.

5. don't be a jerk to people because they produced incorrect work. often the theories that turn out to be totally wrong are the ones that move the field forward the most by virtue of the work put into disproving them. if they're fabricating data or doing things that are methodologically unforgivable, that's a different story.

6. scientists are a stubborn lot, until they break in the face of evidence. if you are "right" and the world is "wrong," perpetually aggregating more evidence and showing it off will eventually work, especially if you make a point to summarize your findings every once in a while. this is just as true regarding criticism as it is regarding experimental results. here is a secret: if the subfield where you are directing your criticism has only made incremental progress for a long time -- which is to say, recently there have been no major breakthroughs or destructive revolutions which reshape prior understandings -- time is on the critic's side. incremental progress isn't stagnation, but it rarely adds enough evidence about fundamental assumptions to protect those assumptions from a sustained attack. if a field is making leaps and bounds forward, criticism is going to be shrugged off because there will be new understandings which are too juicy to slow down to refine. the later refining stages are where critics are the strongest.

Some days i wake up and go straight to work at ~7.30, at my desk for 8.10. Some days ill lie around watch tv and relax in the morning till 9 and get to desk ~9.45.

Meaning to use more of my ‘lazy’ mornings to go swimming but never end up doing it.

Leave work between 5 and 6. Cook for my partner who tends to work later. Watch TV till 10, sleep.

Though I'm not sure I buy into their "winners have always won" hypothesis, I do find the "success by association" part interesting. This usually is discovered in the interview process, but how can it be better discovered in the screening stage?

This is an old argument. A counterargument is that if the IDE can auto-insert the type for you, it could also show you the type on demand.

But this assumes that when reading code, you're always using a tool that can show you the type. Auto-inserting is only needed when writing.

One thing to be wary of is that even when the compiler shows you the type, (in an error message, for example), if it's complex, it will be difficult to understand. If you want to write simple code, perhaps it's better to avoid or encapsulate complicated types?
The False Dichotomy of Monoliths and Microservices
When I was a kid in the 80s, my dad started something called "Family Home Evening." We'd get together and my brother and I would ask questions like "where does lightning come from?" or "does coke rot your teeth?" We'd look up info in our Encyclopedia Brittanica (ha!), and often do experiments (like putting my dad's extracted wisdom teeth in coke). So, yeah, I couldn't help but do the same with my own girls!

Other would-be data whistleblowers are impressed by the duo’s success in getting journals to act. Paul Brookes, of the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York, briefly used his now-defunct blog, science-fraud.org, to highlight questionable papers anonymously. Brookes, who was outed amid legal threats in 2013 after only 6 months, says he would “routinely write dozens of emails [to journal editors], and it was common to have no response at all.”

Quote from the Science article linked to in OA. I think the OA is useful in laying out a less confrontational approach to raising issues.
Yup.

And we've seen the rumblings of this in the US in the past few years, on both sides. Too bad racism is our thing over 'class warfare'. Think that goes back to the everyone thinking their a temporarily inconvenienced millionaire thing.

Bashing Google over this on HN (and elsewhere) seems close to (persistent) astroturfing to me. It would be interesting to actually do the work and investigate where the various mentions on HN (and the original articles) come from.

But then again, this stuff sells in the news, so why suspect ulterior motives ;)
You're giving an ethical reason, but I'm more interested in the actual consequences of a US entity ignoring a German court ruling. I'm not sure what teeth this court actually has with regard to American citizens.

Being depressed is a state of mind. Being successful or not has not much to do with it (which is proven in many papers). Anxiety about failure is just a way that it manifests. Your brain always finds some ways to rationalize things that it observes. That's its job.

So if you feel a bit of rush because you really want to succeed, or if you think about things that may go wrong in order to take actions to minimize the risk - that's perfectly fine and embrace it. But if it really brings you down, then it's a depression problem, not a startup problem and that's what you want to solve.

I'm sure you've heard many many times how failures are necessary learning experience and all that stuff. But if your brain chemistry is not ok, your brain will rationalize it away - "but that's my only shot" and so on. Once again, you need to fix that chemistry. HN will offer you many suggestions some of them very reasonable, but it's likely that a professional will give you some better options.
Thank you, that was helpful.

Follow-up question: is there any practical significance of rational solutions? I can understand why one might be looking for integer solutions to an equation. Can you provide an example where rational solutions correspond to something interesting in the context modeled by the equation – for example the "path travelled by light" thing hinted at in the article?
Describing the popularity of this as "fetishistic reposting" says more about you than it does about this article's popularity. This is an article about hiring in the tech industry, and this is a forum read by people in that same industry. It's about a relevant political direction that has actual impact on the very community that reads this.

That was an odd choice considering everything is moving the other way as a standard. I wonder what the authors reasoning behind this decision was.
Multiple critically important things in your life. Prioritize all of them, and set boundaries to maintain this with yourself and others.

This allows your metrics of success to be distributed, success in any topic on your critical list will tend to outweigh your stresses. Also your successful topic will likely rotate among these as nature allows.

> The title of this post is incredibly misleading.

Is it? I mean, when the description of the company indicates "We end most standups with a feats of strengths competition," then "only fit able-bodied should apply" seems like either good advice or a suitably ironic warning, depending on your politics.

This varies in order and quantity from day to day. I'd get bored if it didn't. Usually get in 6-9 hours of skateboarding a week while constrained by climate. Usually get around 6 - 8 hours of sleep.

A few hours of either school work, dev work, barista work, or I'll have coffee with someone. Maybe piano in here too.

>...and men with similar stories of being on the receiving end are ignored or told to shut up and sit down.

That is not true at all. It's just that these events are much rarer (women rarely occupy positions of power and abuse that power sexually).

>...and people trying to bring up actual statistics, or examples of non-black men getting murdered by police, get shouted down.

Again, you're fighting strawmen. Most leftists are anti-police in general and certainly care about violence against white people committed by the police, especially white people who are marginalized in other ways.

>it has to be solely and directly about racism.

It isn't solely about racism, but racism is a huge, primary component.
I loved my asus eeepc even though I only had one GB. Had a full LAMP stack and it was great for airplane rides. I miss it- and wish there was something comparable today.
This is a great story. My wife and I did similar sorts of projects when we were home schooling our kids (my favorite was the trip to Yellowstone for a geology/chemistry/geography/ecology/biology quinfecta :-)

It doesn't mention, but implies something I found important. That is that as a parent I had to invest my own time in equal to theirs in their learning. It lead to push back at work when I would insist on being home so that we could all have dinner as a family and then work on family projects in the evening, but for me it was rewarded by kids that were engaged and thoughtful and willing to dig into questions deeply.

I have no idea if that would work for anyone else of course.

>But how much of politics is economic theory?

A tremendous amount. In fact, there's a pretty famous book about it: https://www.amazon.com/Capital-Critique-Political-Economy-Vo...

>It's unfair to the socially liberal and fiscal conservatives to shut down economic conversations on the basis of "you must hate blacks and women".

Perhaps, but how fine is the line between "you advocate for economic policies that disenfranchise black people and women" and "you hate black people and women"?
It's also tricky because it's so easy to make a Turing complete system by accident. You may not even realize that you've crossed that line.

People, I think we’re missing some of the other buried gold here. Some highlights:

We do a daily standup where we don't discuss why something is late. Instead we each spend 10 seconds on what we actually shipped today.

So if I’m blocked on Jim, and Jim is shipping his own features and ignoring me, Jim looks good and I look bad. Cool, cool.

A track record of success. We believe winners have always won. All candidates will be asked to submit a 'brag sheet' as part of our interview process. This is a listing of every accomplishment you've ever had. If you won the spelling bee in the 2nd grade we want to know about it, etc.

Trying something hard and failing is apparently not something Health IQ can get behind. Better hope you’ve had a lot of good things happen to you since the second grade! Or have played it pretty safe since then; they don’t want the stench of your failures interrupting treadmill standup.

We don't have sugar, candy bars, soda (diet or otherwise) in our office. If you bring some it will get thrown away.

My personal dietary choices are now my employer’s business. Awesome. I would like to work there, just so I could throw out other people’s property that has even one gram of sugars in it. Fuck your milk.

Although, hey, at least they’re honest about being creepy counterproductive weirdos. It’ll make the eventual lawsuit easier.
To be fair though, you’re posting from an account that was created to post on this story a few days ago. The third comment on this is from an account created 24 minutes ago, for this thread.

While I'd be very happy to have this kind of gym at work the general vibe seems like a cult-like overreach, particularly the needing a personal or family story thing. Leave peoples' health histories out of hiring.

That said, there is nothing to prevent someone in a wheelchair, for example, from being or becoming fit. Nor does not being fit prevent you from working towards fitness.
Yes, but the problem is that Walmart (and others, like Best Buy) proceeded to become also-rans by also opening up their ecommerce platforms to 3rd party sellers. This rush to make everything like Amazon is destructive to the retail chain's brand itself by making it harder for consumers to find the authentic products that they are looking for, with the implicit/explicit guarantees about product quality, low-cost shipping, and return processing. When I go to walmart.com or bestbuy.com, I want to purchase something from Walmart and Best Buy, not some 3rd party with whom I have no prior relationship. It's a total race to the bottom in the retail space right now.

Yeah, I'd be happy with one of those! My fathers 900 was very special to me. I'm sure it was a Saab 900 T16s in gun metal grey without the rear side grills.

I have an ebay alert set up for such a model. Sadly although understandably they still command a high price. I've had accidents on eBay with Saabs before. Current owner of a 6 door stretch 9000. Couldn't see it go for scrap value.
this is great advice, and something I wish I took more to heart when I was doing my startup out of college.

to add my 2c to this answer, I've found it's a lot easier if you've worked in a team in a more established company for 2-4 years. you know what you can and can't do, and don't have to "prove your worth". you can establish friendships, dating patterns, blogging, vlogging.

ultimately, I suspect the depression comes from a sense that you're not part of a bigger group with a shared identity. the above advice works to remind you that you are: you're part of the working class, a boxing gym, a family, etc.

Work on not desiring outcomes so much. You have little control over it. Do the best you can, and appreciate the journey. You can even learn to appreciate pain and suffering as interesting phenomena. Meditation can make them less overwhelming or vexing. Let go a little. Be in the moment. Notice and observe. Judge yourself less. Enjoy cheap or free entertainment, fresh air, and exercise.
"let" is more elegant IMO.
