I like looking for passion for problem solving. The problems just usually require using programming as a tool. I'd like to believe the product is also solving a real problem.

The metaphor I like to use is, I'm looking for a carpenter that likes building structures, not a carpenter that likes using hammers.

But that's just what I'm looking for, and what I believe many engineering-centric orgs are looking for. There are definitely companies out there that just want another assembly robot in their software factory assembly line and plenty of people happy to take that role.
Years ago, I used to link the library from Google [1] or CloudFlare [2].

Nowadays, with all the Node.js stuff that goes around modern front-end, I don't see the point of embedding a JavaScript library from a CDN, unless that library is dependent on a remote service, e.g. Google Analytics, Google Maps, etc… That being said, if you are still maintaining a legacy website that depends on jQuery, you should consider to embed the library like this instead:

<script>window.jQuery || document.write('<script src="/js/jquery.min.js"><\/script>')</script>

Yep. That's the ultimate goal of the far left. Pure utopian Communism. Sad part is that they don't even realize it.

It's the commentary that's toxic. Nobody is allowed to criticize anything about the investigations or tenuous connections to Russia without being labeled a russian propagandist and downvoted out of visibility.

Look at this commentary from just today: https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/8da2uu/trump_wel...

Do you think this is constructive? https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/8da2uu/trump_wel...

What about this? https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/8dga0r/trump_tol...

There is no intelligent discourse occurring in those comments. It's just a big echo chamber.

> Are there really companies out there where the difference between getting an offer and not getting an offer is spending a few hours making a bespoke "please hire me" website?

No, but it can jedi mind trick your way past HR screeners. And that's the only thing that it can do.

If your only way into a company you want to work for is "through the front door" and you aren't a perfect on-paper candidate for them (same role at a direct competitor) then it could be worth your time doing this...

I did this once while applying to a fully remote company and it got me the interview (hey, it's hard to compete against hundreds of applications per day) but did not end up with an offer.
1st point:

It’s been done for hundreds of millions of people and hundreds of millions of guns, and it’s regulation not removing all guns, which is already done in the US, you can’t get a rocket launcher, so why am assault rifle?

No banned guns, just licenses, gun safes, regulation on types, reasonable ownership limits (all farmers I know in Aus have 5+ guns) - that’s all it takes to stop mass shootings.

If it’s a hobby that’s fine, that’s a valid application reason for example, you just have to prove you like guns and go to a range or subscribe to a gun magazine and you can buy them. That 30 minute hurdle provides a barrier to enough people.
Absolutely seconded.

People think that because the visualizations are relatively simple in their shapes, then the design itself must have been simple. It's exceedingly difficult to create instructions that work across language and cultural barriers. It takes a tremendous amount of thought and effort, and IKEA is almost certainly the best in the world and deserve recognition for that.

IANAL, but my understanding is that the GPL only requires you to release source code if you "distribute" the resulting binary. As a web company, most of Google's code would not be considered distributed, only the output of that code. The AGPL was created to close that gag for web companies, probably the reason Google bans it.

I was just about to post this same video. The trouble they had with the big generator at the field site was interesting. I imagine that like a Tesla it can charge from a 120VAC 15A (or euro/world 230-240V, 10A circuit) overnight, but it will be much, much slower to reach full capacity. It's good that they honestly state the limitations that it's best suited for flight training applications where it will always return to the same field.

Imagine trying to fly that thing from Perth to Adelaide in individual 50-minute hops between outback airfields... Impossible.

Problem is not all of the 1% is Steve Jobs, Henry Ford or Warren Buffett. It also includes, for example, royal families whose contribution is not intellectual.

Paying someone less than the value they provide is what makes capitalism work. Not even CEOs or founders are exempt from this law, though I'm sure more than one skates awfully close.

Apple also uses HBase for Siri I believe, what are some of the cluster sizes that FoundationDB scales to? Could it be used to replace HBase or Hadoop?

I was in attendance at your talk, and thought it was one of the best at the conference. Apple I think broke some hearts completely going closed-source for a while, but glad to see them open sourcing a promising technology.
I think they should have clarified in urban environments, people outside of cities use guns is basically every country, even japan.
okay, but what is your point?
This seems like a weak argument for not open sourcing. Just because it is open source doesn't mean you need to accept any community suggestions, and it doesn't mean you can't make radical changes because you want to. Even by doing this, you're still giving back because people can learn from it -- kind of like how a patent gives back.

You are the project owner after all, and if someone doesn't like the way you are going they can just fork it and continue on their own.

To be perfectly honest, that's what I thought too,= until this mass adoption of bikes/scooters that came out of nowhere. It's a super interesting development that just might make cities less car dependent.

> _anywhere_

Clarified in the article. The argument was about the user experience of cars: "Automobile parking is all around. From street parking, to business parking lots, to single family homes with driveways and garages, to large parking structures. Thus, the user experience for drivers is essentially go anywhere, park anywhere."

Supported by the observation of what happens when we sometimes can't find parking: frustration. Meaning, we expect to be able to park wherever we go in a city.
Release looks great. I can't wait for MyRocks to arrive to make it even better.
Sorry I assumed that the word 'screen' was universal. This is the first step, it is a waste of a senior engineers time with a candidate that is not even close to ready for the job.
It really seems like the best way to avoid the need for interview coding is to have a professional license for software engineers. Prove to a licensing board that you are competent in your desired specialties.

I don't ever hear of structural engineers or medical doctors having to solve puzzle to get past their interview.
Yes, it's really serializable isolation. The real kind, not the "doesn't exhibit any of the named anomalies in the ANSI spec" kind. We can selectively relax isolation (to snapshot) on a per-read basis (by just not creating a conflict range for that read).

I tried to explain distributed resolution elsewhere in the thread.

I believe our approach to indices pretty much totally dominates per-partition indexing. You can easily maintain the secondary indexes you describe; I don't understand your objection.
The aero engine is also air cooled (so no water pump or radiator) and generally simpler all around. But at the end of the day it has a hilariously large displacement for the horsepower delivered. It's not like the thing is using fancy variable timing or partial charge ignition or cylinder deactivation to save fuel either, it has to fill those cavernous cylinders with a combustible mix on every fourth stroke.
I'm not taking a side, just trying to add some numbers. Let's ignore the privacy/uptime concerns for the sake of this comment.

If every site you visit has 350kb of stuff that would benefit from a CDN JS but also some CSS and fonts (google fonts, bootstrap, etc.) If you visit 50 pages a day in a 30 day month, that's a little over 500mb of data.

.35mb x 50sites x 30days = 525mb

That would be a ton of easily avoidable data in regards to mobile plans depending on where you are. This number isn't 100% accurate though, many "normal" (read - not techy hackernews readers) might only visit say a dozen sites a day or less (let's ignore apps like facebook/snapchat/etc). Even that might be a stretch.

Then again students and other "savy" users might be going across hundreds of new sites a day.

For you the host? Unless you're a massive beast, most of us "hobbiests" fit within the free bandwidth of 5$ vps services anyway.
I've written a partial implementation of the scuttlebutt p2p protocol (not the encryption, but everything on top). While point to point is encrypted, the bulk of the data is not encrypted. You can specifically send "private" messages that are encrypted such that only a set of keys (users) can decrypt (read) them, but this is by no means the default for anything.
It's possible to be both factually correct ("it would have been really easy to scam you people!") and also an asshole simultaneously. The two are not guaranteed mutually exclusive.

Sure. But, of course there is a difference between having a conversation about the overall trends of a practice versus a small subset of personal experiences. It's also important to define what you mean by "can't do FizzBuzz". Like they can't even do a basic loop or they don't get it perfect, in the exact way you think it should be? Because those are very different as well. I think it's fair to say that if you get a senior Dev in that can't even write out an if-else statement checking for 3 and 5 you have a problem.

She did not. She got interviews at other companies and landed at Upwork for a while.
Also a good interviewer WANTS questions from a candidate. They show that you've actually thought about what it would be like to perform the job and understand what sort of environment you thrive in and thus can filter yourself out if you think it's a bad fit. Because you don't want to waste you time starting and then quitting or being fired a few months down the road.

One of the biggest mistakes I see strong technical candidates make in interviews is not asking any questions at all.
I couldn't disagree more. Standards are not relative. What you're describing in your example is an instance of lowering a standard. The standard does not change because one's tolerance for meeting it is lowered. You're simply accepting that you've failed to meet the standard. You can say whatever you like to excuse it, but it's an excuse nonetheless.
Thanks! Admittedly, it’s easier when you build consumer products.
The whole point is that these people DO make $100-$400k+. At the high range, that's $1000 for a day of work. Imagine asking someone "Hi, please give me $1000 application fee for this job." With a whiteboard interview, at least you get to talk to the engineers directly. You could argue a company that is willing to spend it's engineer's time doing hiring is spending more than you are, which is not true for a homework assignment.
In other countries, it's very common for boys to wear a shirt and tie to school. Even here it's part of the uniform at many private schools and some charter schools, and it's the norm for children at formal events. It's not 'grown-up' attire, it's 'serious' attire.
With no time limit, aren't you just optimizing for the candidate with the most free time? (Granted, some people are more efficient than others, but you probably only want to hire from the top band of efficiency anyways. Meaning that "time spent" becomes the primary deciding factor.)

> I find the cognitive burden to be lower in Haskell than in, say, Java

I don't think Java is a meaningful competitor. It's a language completely based on 90's hopes that OOP was a good idea. Turns out it is mostly good to program simple things as complex "ravioli code". Better compare against languages that games, kernels, and compilers are typically implemented in.

> monad transformers (the promise of aspect oriented programming actually realized)

How do monad transformers realize aspect oriented programming? In my experience they lead to pretty verbose code and lots of boilerplate. I think the way to achieve "aspect-orientedness" (I think this name is based on the same insight that lead to names like "separation of concerns", "cohesion", or "cross-cutting concerns") is simply to draw modules boundaries by shape of data, not in an OOP style where most objects do a million different things (etc. cat must eat, walk, sleep, meow...)

I don't see how that is actually doable all the time. In my short career I have moved from embedded c / c++ game engine / full stack / DBA / backend. All at different jobs with the previous manager not knowing I actually knew how to do the next job, if they were asked anything other than generic questions I would have sounded like a fraud.

I don't enjoy Poetry directly... but I think I still enjoy its benefits.

As long as the discipline exists, writers who study and learn it, will let it subtlety influence their writing.
