+1 I'd also make a humble suggestion to have a dedicated sample code person who's well versed in Swift, to make the sample code consistent and well documented.

To have sample code for every new feature, etc. This should not be a coop or someone doing it in hindsight - the number of hours people spend re-inventing how to do infinite scrolling tableviews (one simple example) is sad - every new developer has to re-invent the wheel it seems.

This leads to people using third party libraries for things that need no libraries at all, and then before you know it, you're swimming in cocoapod soup, every time you join a new project, and the soup is 50% new ingredients every other time too!
I actually got asked this once, right out of college, by a consulting-focused subsidiary of a certain publicly traded company that dealt with open source operating systems that shall go unnamed. IIRC I said something about being smart and well motivated, and being excited about the projects they were talking about... I didn't get an offer.

Ultimately this is a "Rorschach test" question. Because it's completely and entirely open ended, it isn't measuring anything other than the interviewee's ability to say what the interviewer wants to hear. An interviewer that asks this question is probably not that good of an interviewer, because, with very few exceptions, being very good at fast talking isn't a skill needed to do the job.

If you're asked this and willing to forgive the company for giving you an interviewer that would ask this, the other answers have good suggestions.
As it is usually the last question to be asked: take into account all of the cultural qualities they mention during the interview, then appeal to them: "I had always found I wanted to work in an open space because I believe that an atmosphere where people are forced to collaborate is exciting".

Then wait for their offer and use it to get hired by another company.
The Kind of MBAs That McKinsey Hired for Those $140K Consulting Jobs to Start
Why is that? Why don't you let your daughter have innocent, playful, silly, immature childhood that she is entitled to?

If your daughter wants to learn about successful business and making money, she will very soon look into characters like Trump, or Koch brothers, or even tycoon oils Rockefellers. There was nothing for a child to look into the souls of these characters; business is tough, its jungle, and you make extra buck when you didn't have to but took it away from someone anyways. I don't think I would want my children to be exposed to this kind of shit without their brains being properly wired already.

When working with electronics, I use the CS vs EE analogy.

CS person: grabs part by hand, shuffles across the floor in socks, brushes dust off a pin, presses part into place

EE person: stares in horror, a grounding strap dangling from their hand

CS: "What?"

EE: "You know you're supposed to ground yourself to prevent static discharge from frying parts?"

CS: "Bah, it worked fine the last time I did it this way."

Point being there's a difference between something that works 99/100 times, and something that works 60/100 times. And when failure means a dead part, probably best to go the extra mile.

I find it absolutely mindboggling that Switch's are bricking when 3rd party accessories are plugged in isn't being treated as a bigger issue. Everything I've heard is that the Nyko dock is at fault, but why the hell aren't people mad at Nintendo?
Then again, I haven't followed it very closely, maybe people are? All I've read is how the dock is bad, and nothing about the Switch's apparent fragility.

I was a little skeptical of this advice, so I did some online searching. There are a bunch of articles with anecdotes about this working, but here's an article that seems to have a bit more substance about this method:

I saw this on their border security reality TV show, but neither I, nor anyone I know, has ever had their phone searched visiting Canada. I've been curious how often they do it. What were your circumstances?

If that show is to be believed, they aren't looking for hate speech. They are looking for the person who says they are just visiting, and then has all kinds of text messages about when they start their new job, or how they are looking forward to moving there.
This behavior is as old as civilization. When you went to a market and wanted to buy something from the owner/operator of the business stand, none of the prices were marked. You asked the owner the price of something and he would respond. Or maybe he would try to hawk you something by giving you the price of something first. Then you start haggling. If you have a lot of time and like the game, you might get a very low price. If you are his cousin, you get a good price, no haggle. If you are in a hurry (your time is valuable too you at the moment) the price is likely to be higher. All sorts of bullshit/fun-time-shopping.

At some point in the 1600? the Quakers decided that a person morally should only get some fair markup on something they were selling and that to charge more was wrong. On thing they were selling they put fix prices on and no haggling. Lots of people liked this way of shopping. You save time and don't feel ripped off. This idea really spread, department stores took off, and fixed pricing was around for quite awhile. It is a much better way of selling things for society in many ways.

This fixed price for everyone has been eroding for awhile. Coupons have been around for all of my life. Not sure when they started or if they always existed since the first newspapers. In any case, with computers, businesses are able to change the price at will and everyone is carrying smartphones leaking their identity. I wouldn't be surprised to see digital prices in supermarkets that change depending on who is next to the tag. Sets the price when you pick it up. Amazons automatic stores could easily do this. I really like Trader Joe's because it does not do all of this coupon, sales, huge bulk discounts, etc stuff.
Two of my friends build bicycles from scratch, but they find building a PC difficult.

Conversely, it makes running an opposition campaign so easy that the opposition won't need to focus on the big issues. The opposition could focus on morality and pay lip-service to neoliberal diversity theatre while simultaneously selling out to corporate interests.

If you're running against Trump in an election, what's the point of drawing the ire of industry (pharma, insurance, military, surveillance, general big-corp) when you can focus on orthogonal issues? You could get more funding by ignoring them and focusing on mostly-irrelevant wedge issues such as abortion (never going anywhere), "decorum", etc. Personally if Trump loses the next election I think we're going to get the biggest corporate-bootlicker democrat we've ever seen
>> When you see that the props have changed, what do you do?

"What do I do in componentWillReceiveProps?" It's a good question. Looking through the code I see alot of cases in which I am mapping new props to state, sometimes transforming received network data that is stored in redux, sometimes making a barrier to redirect to a different page if for example some condition has changed.

Perhaps these things are relics from before I really came to understand Redux - maybe in most cases I can just directly use props rather than having an intermediate setting of state.

> ...to trade the traditional privileges of childhood...

Traditionally children help out with chores, work on the farm, watch the other children, or even get jobs to help with the household expenses.

> ...kids who have internalized the idea that work is all there is...

There is a certain segment of the population that scrapes by and survival is the biggest concern. A certain level of privilege is needed to take principled stands on issues, invest large amounts of time and energy in charitable work, or even just travel and experience the world.

That is to say, life as a struggle is actually pretty normal. And it's not new or unique to this time and culture.

Maybe it's perverse to choose to struggle as a middle class kid. And maybe it's especially perverse to chose this kind of struggle. But there are many less healthy things for tweens and teens to invest their energy in.

Additionally he is obviously a highly skilled worker considering he works for leading tech companies, therefore you cannot consider him an average Joe bricklayer who can be compared with others as he is in a percentile that is in demand (there is a shortage of these people).

Two people are hardly ever equal when it comes to applying for a job, its not just about skills, its about the people, its about the experiences they have had. I would always employ a person with more life experience than not, and traveling, learning a new language, a new culture is apart of that. It takes bravery, courage and stamina to uproot your life and move to a new country and these are all respectable traits. So respectable in fact, that the fear of these people by society is blatantly evident.

You forget that we are all citizens of the world, and people move around for many different reasons. Just because you are happy to stay in your cultural bubble doesn't mean other people are. And if these people are skilled and can contribute to the economy, even better.
I think it is more likely that this is a test of our system of checks and balances but should be viewed a lot like traction control saving your life after losing control on an icy mountain pass.

> The opposition could focus on morality and pay lip-service to neoliberal diversity theatre while simultaneously selling out to corporate interests.

Pretty sure any phrase preceded by the word 'neoliberal' is already (by definition) aligned with corporate interests.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoliberalism

"Neoliberalism or neo-liberalism refers primarily to the 20th-century resurgence of 19th-century ideas associated with laissez-faire economic liberalism. Those ideas include economic liberalization policies such as privatization, austerity, deregulation, free trade and reductions in government spending in order to increase the role of the private sector in the economy and society. These market-based ideas and the policies they inspired constitute a paradigm shift away from the post-war Keynesian consensus which lasted from 1945 to 1980."

Yes, there are workarounds.

My entire point is that people choose code formatting as a workaround, and that isn't viable. We really ought to fix the problem, rather than complain every time someone uses the wrong workaround. The latter isn't a scalable or effective solution.

HN has a wonderfully succinct amount of markup, but it's really lacking in this one particular area.
I can't believe they left out the blood sacrifice on sharp parts of the case. Always different/unexpected parts of the case, and always miraculously sharp. (Less so now with higher end modern cases, but was definitely this way with 80s/90s/early-00s cases.)
It's a play on an English idiom. The standard idiom is 'if you do x then a kitten dies' (where x is something you want the person to avoid doing) - the idea is by linking it to the death of a kitten, you discourage the behaviour.

"Shared iPad" for classroom use (and the MDM server requirement...) was first introduced as far back as iOS 9.3 in Jan 2016, regardless of the Classkit announcement this week, so I wouldn't take it as given we are getting it for general consumer use in the next beta given the feature is over 2 years old now.

It’s not just the US though, the whole ultra-surveillance shtick is very much an international problem. Here in the UK it’s not that great either, and China is full on dystopia. I’m not excusing the US, but we need to accept that this isn’t just the Americans, it’s more and more of the world.
How can an offer be useful for getting hired by another company? I don't get it
But is that the way it should be? Also, this isn't universally true. There are some vendors that started accepting Bitcoin as payment. Some of them stopped accepting it a few months ago when transaction fees were insane, but there are still some that do. You can even get debit cards that automatically convert to fiat on the backend, so the consumer can hold crypto and pay in fiat.

Ask HN: Monorepo (with git) best practices
Hi,

Just getting started with a relatively small group who has decided to merge several small repos into one.

In this case, the code varies in purpose (some code in the current repos is reusable, some combine to make a single project and others are just stand alone stuff) and implementation (C++, Python, Java, SQL etc.) ++

I have worked with both monorepos and lots of little repos before. I personally prefer the monorepo approach but recognize both the many repo and monorepos methods are valid.

However, when I have worked successfully with a monorepos it was with a large teams and there was lots of tooling around SVC system to support it.

In this case we are small group using GIT and don’t have the resources to create a lot of tooling to support monorepos approach.

So my question is: what light weight approaches to monorepos management are recommended, what’s to be avoided. etc.

Thanks in advance!
