> They're a Russian company and semi-recently Trump banned their software from government agencies.

I know it's popular to bash Trump, but it was the DHS that banned the software, not Trump:

In a binding directive, acting homeland security secretary Elaine Duke ordered that federal civilian agencies identify Kaspersky Lab software on their networks. After 90 days, unless otherwise directed, they must remove the software, on the grounds that the company has connections to the Russian government and its software poses a security risk.

Which came after the GSA removed them from the list of approved vendors:

The directive comes months after the federal General Services Administration, the agency in charge of government purchasing, removed Kaspersky from its list of approved vendors. In doing so, the GSA suggested a vulnerability exists with Kaspersky that could give the Kremlin backdoor access to the systems the company protects.

I don't think visual selections in vim work the same as in kakoune though, do they?

It's a powerful primitive in Kakoune, from regex to multiple cursors. My vim knowledge on selection mode is quite limited however, so I can't directly compare them.

Can you just turn on selection mode and use that all the time? I may have to try that, as it sounds like you're suggesting it's a first class feature in Vim. Something I never got the feeling of.
oh neat, and it's on a google blog.

Sure there are some problems that lend themselves nicely I already said as much. But in general for an INTERVIEW problem, it as a poor skill to dwell on or even bother testing for since real-world coding is simply not done that way or God forbid what might happen when someone not as capable (but cheaper or younger) has to take over your code base.

Most of the shorter ones are "premium", unfortunately, that's just the way Google has priced them. I was able to get minus.app for about $60, though, roughly the same as a "non-premium" .io domain.

Which domain were you trying? About 30 have already been registered since I posted this, but it takes about 10 minutes for them to disappear from the list.
I think you may misunderstand what terms are in a cell. For instance in your first example what numbers live there? In that observable you can run cellToTerms(row,n,binomialCoEfficient2,col) to get the terms. You can then chain .map(isPrime) (for reasonable sizes it is slurping in data to make testing faster). Those fns are there for interactivity I have not gotten around to adding yet.
Others are questioning some of your choices around this so I thought I’d weigh in a little with my experience.

I never sold directly but I did work for a company earlier in my career that served high amp tractor trailer generators, power distribution equipment (later the department I ended up bootstrapping for them), lighting, and grip equipment to the film industry.

Early on my time there I was tasked with unloading and either stripping down or full on demolishing multiple 50 ft tractor trailers stacked to the ceiling loads of old stands (scrap metal), lamps (scrap metal, wiring, ceramic housings, aluminum housings, electronics), and high-amp ballasts for old Xenon and HMI lamps (a lot of electronics including some pretty hefty transformers. I have a stupid story about almost killing myself crippling a 20year old capacitor in one of those things...).

I worked on that for at least 60hrs a week for many weeks at not a great wage but they willingly paid me a lot of overtime to do it.

A lot of those parts weren’t going into new products but repairing high value equipment that the longer it all lived the more profitable it was. They’re probably still using some of that stuff.

I would have never thought to have started a business doing it though! I think most places are more willing to exploit young employees for it.

when it comes to customer support

Do they have customer support? Last time I used my google account (a few years ago) to attempt to buy a Nexus, my transaction was flagged as fraud and I was locked out of my account.. I tried for a few days to find a way to contact anyone from Google.. never happened..

I eventually gave up and bought an iPhone and it was ironically the best thing that could have happened in that scenario.
Much easier to search for
Just to provide another perspective...

We have a take home test. It is an obviously fake problem, but we review it to the grade we would for our production code.

We don't find that candidates turn down taking the test - it's capped at 3 hours so that it can't take up lots of time. We do find that we have a low pass rate, and even among candidates with 10+ years experience, we still find candidates who write code that is just not good, and who haven't read the spec.

I'm not at all suggesting that you might be in this category, and if you can find jobs you want that don't require tests that's great.

However, there are people with plenty of experience, who can architect things brilliantly, and who can't write a ~300 line program in Python in a way that satisfies a spec or in a way that anyone would be able to maintain. That's important for many companies, and so I think tests can be one useful part of an interviewing process.

Out of curiosity, how well did the Qt frontend for Neovim work for you?

Double thumbs up for fixing this!
The ECMAScript stage 3 proposals related to decorators and class private and static fields need a lot more time to bake - maybe a few years. The whole # or -> thing seems fundamentally wrong. The standards process needs to slow down until better ideas emerge from the JS community and the Babel ecosystem.

I do like the idea presented of having a transpiler track and a JS engine track. Keep the ES spec for the JS engines simpler and hoist all the syntactical sugar onto the transpilers.
I agree. This is a form of the psychological concept of encoding specificity principle[1] which states that recall is most effective when the conditions at the time of encoding match the conditions at the time of retrieval.

> Just ask the Palestinians if land is fungible.

That analogy would only make sense if Palestinians were being offered similarly-sized and similarly-resourced land, to compensate for what was taken away from them at the beginning of the Nakba 70 years ago.

Except, they're not. The land was seized, with no new land provided in return. Over time, more and more has been occupied and taken away from Palestine.

There is a difference between complying with GPDR and caring about privacy.

I completely and utterly care about privacy, but things like not tracking IP address and allowing people to request removing them are a bridge to far. I can’t comply with that. I treat my customers important PII (names, addresses, etc) very delicately. But the cost of complying GPDR is too must.
Does this help the JS engines? Instead of _knowing_ the developers intent and optimizing for it, it has to infer what the transpiler outputted and optimize for that. One seems harder than the other.
Shoot, I'd be impressed if someone could build a robot that lasts an entire game and is agile and light enough to guarantee there wouldn't be multiple broken bones on the opposing team every game.
I'd add a corollary along the lines of:

"We also have extreme difficulty parsing what may be caused by (epi)genetics and what may be caused by differences in experiences or development"

Not only do we lack fine-grained data with which to make that comparison, we probably lack the epistemological capabilities and experimental infrastructure to even attempt gathering such data.

This doesn't have to be mutually exclusive with the argument(s) that population-scale difference in distribution of [whatever] have been experimentally observed. It's just that for most conceivable [whatever] with some kind of relevant social impact, we still can't assign causality with high confidence to the actual (epi)genetics themselves.

I was really wondering that as well. Can we be held accountable?

It would be nice if the GDPR had a piece about “if a company refuses sales, even if they accidentally happen, the company isn’t liable” and/or “blocking EU IPs or redirecting to a no sale page is sufficient to avoid compliance”.
You could just use a log format that excludes or obfuscates IP addresses, I believe.
This is a bizarre comment. You have 15 years of software development experience and you are surprised this experience doesn't carry over to data science or ML directly?

Sorry but how would you even know?

I understand your frustrations well since I don't have a BS.

Still, as much as you seem to want to talk about how capable you are, you can't seem to understand the perspective of employers. Given what you've said about your history I suspect this is not due to a lack of intelligence but empathy.

Employers have to go through many candidates, each of which has some true capability but of which the employer can only see some signals. Signals have varying degrees of quality, and interviewing candidates costs time and money. That being the case, it is only natural that they try to use the strongest signals they have.

Nobody believes that there are not capable people who do not have an MS or PhD as you seem to be suggesting. The reality is that the proportion of people who have a BS and can do the job is much less than the number with MS or PhDs, and so it's one of the more effective filters they have at their limited disposal.

I'm sure companies are not happy about skipping great candidates like yourself, but they have not figured out a way to do so that is scalable and cost efficient. It's a difficult problem but maybe you can figure it out.

> You are not special because you have a PhD and I don’t. The only difference between you and me is that I had the ability to learn for free what you paid for.

How much do you even know about PhD programs? It seems like not much because PhD candidates, at least in the US, get paid. It's not much but they certainly are not paying for their education.

I apologize for this unsolicited advice but your lack of humility is frankly very off putting. You sound like a very hard working person. PhD programs are extremely difficult to both be admitted into and to finish. I'd expect that you would respect others like yourself who are very hard working.

- They're told (implicitly) that they're stupid.

- Devs pretend not to understand what they are asking for because it isn't phrased exactly how they'd like to see it expressed.

The yearly ES release cadence seems to be adding sugar for its own sake. This stuff hasn't been battle tested in the field long enough. Look at how many times class field and decorator proposals have changed over the years.

JSX by comparison seems much more stable than the class and decorator proposals, although arguably its features are much better optimized by a transpiler rather than a native JS engine.

Many moons ago I had a plugin in my Firefox that made common navigational operations (back, forward, etc.) accessible via pie menus. It was absolutely mind-blowing how much more fluent they made browsing feel. Once you had the muscle memory in place to know where the operations were in the pie without having to look, you would just fly. I'm not sure what happened to that plugin, but I sure miss it.

It sounds like at one point pie menus were even being worked on as part of Firefox core (see https://www.extremetech.com/computing/103589-a-walk-down-fir...), but were eventually abandoned, which is sad. (I can understand why, lots of people seem to have trouble wrapping their minds around the idea, but still.)
Sounds like he analyzed if very closely, so probably not base on incorrect advice.

And I’m guessing he can’t share too much about why since he has said its based on architectural decisions, which might reveal business secrets.

The biggest reason I don’t like complying with GDPR is the IP address situation- I’m going to continue to track them and I’m not going delete them because somebody requested.
However there is a grand plan to do the absolute opposite, which is to adopt the entirety of EU law into UK law. The so called "Great Repeal Bill" or whatever they are calling it this week.

That doesn’t compute.

There is a difference between what GDPR says is okay with user data and what is actually okay with user data.

We may be reasonable with user data, but either disagree with a portion of GDPR (like IP addresses) or do not have the time or money to very we comply.
I find nothing remotely special about a C-suite operator siding with an outside voice against a "trusted" internal resource. Even if the operator is the legendary Steve Jobs. C-suite operators, honestly, tend to just not really trust their internal resources. Often to their detriment.
