"The machine is to accept no externally-introduced executable code except in the form preferred for making modifications (i.e. source.)"

Since most of the points here seem to be coming directly from lisp machine (I say this because that's what most of the site is about, from reading various articles in the past), is this how they worked? Couldn't you have executable binaries coming from another machine? For that matter, did you have executable binaries visible at all?

Agree. I'm going to spend days of unpaid time 'cramming' for whatever random whiteboard questions I think they might ask me anyway. I'd rather put the time into showing how the work I actually do might be useful to their team. Makes a lot more sense from both sides IMO.

In this case, I don't see it as unreasonable, because you didn't have to do the project just to have a shot at someone talking to you in person.

I would never do a homework project as the first step in an application process. I would do one as the last step, after I had learned enough about the job and the company to decide that I really wanted it, and they had narrowed down the field to me and a handful of other candidates.

But despite the statistics, I feel safer being in control. It's a funny cognitive bias.

I also like the recovery plan for a dangerous driving situation better (swerve or pull over and slow down) because the danger is usually mitigated in seconds. In aviation a dangerous situation can persist for minutes depending on how far away the emergency landing spot is and how high the plane is.

On one level I agree with you -- it's reminiscent of a recent laughable New Yorker piece calling the presence of a Chick-fil-A in NYC an "infiltration": https://www.newyorker.com/culture/annals-of-gastronomy/chick...

On the other hand, the presence of a domestic political party is a fundamentally different thing from the presence of a foreign entity working inside a sovereign entity like a state. Both the Republican and Democratic parties at least claim loyalty to the American people and its government and alignment with their interests.
If you believe that merit is the focus of discussion, then we're actually on the same page and no further definition work is needed.

I saw focus on meritoriousness, undue worth, or whatever is evoked under the sense of "birthright". I'm arguing that it's gamesmanship at play, and not metaphorical birthright, and hence I speak of some of the losers of the game, as well as the higher level players who interface with the economy directly.

I question that bit of common knowledge.

I went to a large state school for undergrad and tutored people regularly. By senior year, even the bottom performing students wouldn't have had a problem with fizzbuzz or similar screening problems. We regularly had coding problems much harder than that on tests.

Unless there were other factors involved like maybe the pressure caused by the weirdly adversarial hazing process that the tech interview has become.

Out of the first 10 or so results for "wifi routers" on Amazon, atleast half of them mention antenna dBi values. What is Joe Buyer supposed to infer if one router says 5 dBi and another says 6 dBi? Is it 5 times more powerful? Is it 10 times more powerful? I've read through the Wikipedia article on antenna gain and I still can't tell for sure. Negative values are even more confusing for people. Ultimately, I think the loss is entirely that of router manufacturers because their preferred units don't help potential buyers judge which is better and by how much. They can use dBi for research and development, but customers really need something more user-friendly. It's a matter of usability.

The way I think of this is:

- nearly everything is compressed

- many things are encrypted

Therefore,

For any given "random" ( "high entropy" ) string of length X, there's some non-negligible chance it's already been sent.

But it's far less likely that a ( partially degraded ) non random string is sent. Why ?

Consider this:

"the cat sat on the hat" ( probably sent )

"the cut sat on the hat" ( still probably sent )

"thx cut set19n the mkt" ( waaaay less likely to be sent )

"thKxc8t suts n x4e m-t" ( probably never sent ... until now :) )

My reasoning is like, all random strings are ( happy / random ) in the same way. They all look alike.
High entropy, but low organization / structure. Because of compression and encryption, any random
string probably has as good a chance to be sent as any other, so looking at random strings doesn't really get us anywhere ( but I do make a very very rough calculation at the end that says probably all 7 byte strings have been sent ).

It's going to be far easier in my opinion to find an "almost-language" string ( partially degraded, like the above examples ) that's never been sent.

Remember, Google whacks? 1 search result. One tactic was putting together uncommon words. Another was misspellings.

Basically the intuition / intuitive idea I'm trying to convey is : pick any random high entropy string of given short length, and pick any language string of given short length, and they are both, in my opinion, more likely to have been sent than an "almost language" string of same length. The more degraded you make it ( up to a point, heh ) the less likely it was ever sent.

Very rough calculation about random strings

So, assuming the question is for what X is p > 0.5, and assume that 1 zettabyte has been sent through the net through it's entire history, so 10^18*8 bits, or roughly 2^(63.8), so roughly every 58 bit string has been sent.

So roughly every 7 byte string ever possible has been sent on the internet. Probably.

Actually looking at other things the woman making the "toxic wasteland" comment wrote, I certainly don't agree with her on everything, but I'd say she actually makes a lot of good points. Particularly about how delivery style matters.

And yet, her comment itself is clearly an exaggeration (let's be real, no one is going to take up the $10K challenge), and is just as toxic as anything she mentions. It just shows that it is always far easier to see problems and possible fixes in other people's behavior, than in your own.

I hope to see a pluggable markdown editor sometime. Pluggable in the sense that the syntax (lexer & parser) are highly configurable and can cater to the needs of the domain. Because in effect most websites, documents, et cetera 1) use a certain flavor of markdown and 2) have extensions.

It would be nice to be able to configure a certain syntax and then have the editor be aware of that syntax. Most editors out there currently only work with a fixed syntax or a fixed set of syntaxes.

It has both (now). It's a stretch to say Dynamic columns are on the same level. For example, could you index them with virtual generated columns? The syntax is also not as transparent to applications as the ->> JSON operator.
I've done homework as a candidate twice, and given it once as part of the hiring team. Every time, it was after an initial phone screen.

When we gave homework, it was to a slate of junior candidates, primarily just out of college. When I did homework, I was unemployed and looking for my first job in tech.

If homework is a good idea ever, those are the circumstances. You have candidates who are hard to evaluate, will get a large benefit from a job offer, and are less likely to have severe time constraints. I wouldn't make it a requirement for all potential hires.
There s a difference: MySQL has specific a datatype for JSON aside from only having JSON-related functions working n strings, which has a few benefits:

* The JSON datatype guarantees the content is valid JSON

* access to fields can be faster even without dynamic/virtual columns

* since 8.0 there are special optimizations for doing partial updates, which means that not the full JSON data has to be rewritten on small changes https://mysqlserverteam.com/partial-update-of-json-values/

Obviously if you don't have a job, do whatever you need to in order to get one. But code challenges are making it increasingly difficult to move forward in your career without subjecting yourself to inordinate risk.

I've been going back and forth on how best to handle this newest trend. I don't think it's a good approach to just refuse to do them. But accepting the challenge and then not following through is even worse. So a mutual understanding of the deliverables and level of effort is required, otherwise job hunting approaches second job status.

My current stance is to first negotiate the code challenge until it's fully in your wheelhouse. If you are unable to do this, politely decline to do the code challenge, citing time constraints. One job wanted me to do a basic web app wholly in vanilla Javascript with no libraries. That's a challenge I should have just declined.

Second, refuse to accept time limitations. No company that's not paying you should be allowed to monopolize your time. One job had a hard 20 day limit and the task was both outside my wheelhouse and expected to make a measurable delta in their production application. I definitely should have declined that one.

But if a company is willing to work with you rather than subject you to an inhumanly-inflexible meat grinder, that's the one I want to work for.

SlateJS is a really neat way to handle rich text editing. I worked shortly on a project to build a rich email client with SlateJS being the underlying library to power the editor. This introduced some interesting issues though around finding the correct way to serialize and deserialize the html due the way that slates core plugins normalize the slate state when working with the different node types (block, inline, mark, text).

The main issue is how to properly associated each html element to a node type, and fit within the core plugin normalization. This is difficult for having to deal with arbitrary html coming from all the different kinds of email client that choose to represent the html structure in their own unique way. However, this is also where SlateJS shines I believe, as you can just normalize all the different html formats into a single representation.

strong, b, font[style="font-weight:*"], etc => Mark Bold

The library has probably changed quite a bit (last I used it was v0.21), so I don't know if my issues are even there anymore, or have changed in some way since.

Overall though, SlateJS is a really neat project, and really fairly simple, and allows for some awesome things to happen in text editors that previous I would believe to be fairly complicated. This is all thanks to the fact that nodes in the slate state can be rendered as rich ReactJS components.

A simple example of this for our use cases was around using template variables in an html email template. I never got around to actually doing this bit, but a variable could be it's own unique node type in the slate state, and allow us to inject a special react component that would make working with the variables much nicer for our users. In the production editor at the time, these variables were just handle bars `{{ first_name }}`, which a lot of customers accidentally would mess up as they had to write out the syntax.

With SlateJS the vision was to simply render a Variable component that would serialize back down into handle bars, or later down the road take the json serialization of the slate state and render that into our own html for sending out.

I really like the patterns SlateJS uses, and I'm excited for any future projects that will allow me to work with it again.
I think when GitHub says bit, they mean app.
To me, "undue grace" and "generosity" imply some actor who imparts such grace or generosity. But that's not required for privilege. Particularly when people talk about enjoying a privilege in the social-justice way (which I believe to the kind of criticism you're talking about), they're often using it to mean a lack of discrimination as opposed to granting an elevated status. For example, if someone has the expectation that they can walk through a store without getting harassed, we may say they enjoy a privilege, even though most people would agree that should be the norm - because there are people who do expect to get harassed. The reason I think it's important to remove an actor who grants privilege is that its causes are often structural and implicit, as opposed to intentional and explicit. And it's less a criticism than it is a way of pointing out that some people's default expectations for how the world works and will react to them is quite different from others.

Put another way, privilege is often used when some people tend to experience a fairer world than others. But expecting a fair world is how it should be! That's not "undue grace", as everyone should experience a fair world.

(Just so we're clear: this is a full-on semantic discussion, and I'm okay with that.)
