>It's almost insulting to think that dialect matters that much considering how much exposure everyone gets to the mainstream dialect.

Whether it's insulting is irrelevant to whether it's true.

I'd be interested to know what your basing this assertion on. Gaokao scores in Beijing are distorted by families who try to move there from other areas to take the test and migration in general.

Guilty of the last one. I sort of thought it would be a good idea to trash talk the competitor (my previous employer), but when I saw the look on the CEOs face I knew I screwed up.

Got the job anyway, based on other circumstances (and maybe also because it was common knowledge in the industry that the previous employer really was a nutter, which later became a matter of public record in a court case).

But generally, definitely not a good idea to badmouth anyone in job interviews. Or ever, even.
I've been consistently unimpressed with the offerings in that space.
It's easy to be nostalgic for past grandeur, but remember that the vast majority of 19th and 20th century engineers spend all their time working on mediocre solutions to uninteresting problems, and being complacent about, then getting throughly bamboozled by Japan in the 80s.

I can't remember where it's from, but there's a story about a firm procuring a shipment of widgets from a factory in Japan, with 5% defect rate. They received the shipment with a separate box with the 5% defect widgets and a confused letter of apology. That was also 20th century engineering.

There is amazing stuff going on, and there is a lot of bland, forgettable stuff going on, and that's the way it's always been.

This is clearly trying to sell on the success of Microsoft's Language Server Protocol.

However, it only supports Scala at the moment, and having a quick look it's goofing to be an awful fit for many other languages. I really don't feel they should be "camping" on such an obvious name without support for at least a half dozen different languages.
The thing with git (and GitHub by extension) is that it is "good enough" for many use cases, and relatively painless to get up and running.
Do you have any data on white English immigrants who take the SAT? I sure don't.
You can already have an arbitrarily-powerful instance do the heavy lifting in these cases. Cloud-based instance, if you want to do it on someone else's computer. The first time I've seen it (not used it, though), Sun workstations were still a thing. There are various tools to do distributed compilation with various degrees of smartness, though I'm seeing them in action less and less often because, quite frankly, Moore's law has made them more and more unnecessary in the last 7-10 years.

VNC isn't the right way to go in these cases. If a company is asking its developers to do remote work over VNC, and they aren't a three-person company struggling with financial and administrative resources, what they need is an IT manager and/or a build system engineer, not a web IDE. We already have plenty of IDEs that can't hold a candle to Visual Studio, the umpteenth one BUT ON THE WEB is pretty much the last thing we need.
This line of reasoning is only valid if rate-limiting is in place.

If the database gets breached for example then the attacker can do a lot more iterations, even if the password hash are salted.
So, what is the difference in responsibility from the Language Server Protocol that Visual Studio Code uses? I get that they’re riffing on the same concept, but why separate the two? What’s the difference, other than that “oh this one is more build-y”?

Every AI engineer is well aware of the bad taste of the name. AI is just advanced technology. Either search, dynamic problems, advanced algorithms or linear algebra used on generic problems. As soon as a formerly AI field becomes main stream it is not under the AI umbrella anymore. Such as search, backtracking, game strategy, planning, bignum arithmetic, symbolic interpretation, ...

Verbatim interpretation of AI has nothing to do with the field of AI, only with science fiction.

Depends on your criteria. If you only aim to feed a small group, it is significantly less cost to make a handful of enclosures than to clear a large amount of space for a field, even if the field is more efficient at scale.
You're asking the wrong question. Instead of "should we do the opposite of what the coding test tells us?" you should ask "should we require coding tests at all?"

Some candidates can't code, but most companies throw the baby out with the bathwater. They don't realize the candidates they want simply refuse to interview because the process is insulting, and there's little correlation between demonstrated talent and an offer (a hard-to-accept fact that you've helped validate with your post).

The candidates they're left with are the desperate and the only hires are clones of the interviewer.

> We address that situation by categorically prohibiting discrimintion.

I think a part of existencebox's point is that this prohibition doesn't entirely work, because companies discriminate anyway, and craft the playing field so that they either don't get caught, or that the cost or repercussions of fighting back end up being too high for an individual to bear.

Perhaps if we were more willing to look at the actual negative effects (on job performance) caused by pregnancy, childbirth, and child-rearing, we could actually create incentives to "pay for" those negative effects and stamp out discrimination.

But no, instead we just "prohibit discrimination", without trying to find remedies for the reasons why companies want to discriminate in the first place. It helps, sure. But it falls far short of actually fixing the problem.

Salvator is a bot which uses puppeteer to scrape the list of birthdays from Facebook and sends them a personal message. It also sends the user an email notification with the list of birthdays and their profile link.

It was made with keeping in mind the people who don't want to use facebook but still, can't miss out on the important birthdays and hence they are delivered to your mail; who doesn't check mails now?

my outsiders view of management training is that they work so hard at cultivating confidence that they start thinking that confidence, not competence, is what they need to select for in roles outside of leadership.

As far as I can tell, "leader types" are far more vulnerable to confident people than the rest of us because of this.
I think this is a great hypothesis for certain social media interactions.

I’m a socially awkward nerd, I know I am. There’s a whole section of people on the internet that I’m sure are very nice and very intelligent but which I would avoid interacting with because I now make the assumption it would go well.

Without getting into specifics (which I don’t think would be helpful) there are certain markers that I look for and avoid.

That’s not a justification for any kind of discrimination. I’m interested much more in listening in these situations than I am trying to contribute.

I just have a spidey-sense whatever my opinion is on subject at hand it will not change anyone else’s. I’m also aware that if I was better at these interactions that might not be the case.

What worries me is that as I age this kind of consensus based/political dialogue is becoming the established norm in tech circles ...and I’m bad at it. I’m on the wrong side of “cultural fit”.

That’s a bit “poor me”, for which I apologise but tech seemed previously a bit of a sanctuary for the socially inept back when it was unfashionable and main stream journalism ignored it.

Says who?

This kind of ‘user centric’ justification is rubbish and we all know it.

What this is, pure and simpe, is ‘throw it at a wall and see what sticks’.

Maybe people will like it and they’ll run with it, or maybe people will hate it and it’ll get binned.

Fair enough; but its got zippo to do with user quality of life or what users actually want; its just easier to justify value by adding features than fixing existing ones.

This is in the really early stages and needs lots more proof. Plenty of reason to be skeptical of it.

Don’t lump minorities together under that single banner, it’s gross and shows ignorance.

The situation you’re talking about applies almost purely to Asian (south/east) Americans. It’s the complete reverse in regards to black folks, and nonexistent in Hispanic Americans (look up intermarriage statistics).
The reason you need to take less risks is because your ability to execute a task that you were used to executing before is reduced due to the ageing process.

I don't think this is true. It might be more true if the task involves learning a lot of completely new stuff, but there's very little completely new stuff - experience helps in learning most of what comes out these days.

Execution is sped up more by doing the right thing than doing things quickly. Just like typing speed is not normally the limiting factor, speed qua speed isn't what makes things slow. I've seen younger devs work very fast in the wrong direction especially when they are lacking in code design and debugging skills.

Interesting that you mention breaks. Breaks are opportunities to get your head up. Taking fewer breaks will increase the probability of spending too much time on the wrong road.
Yeah, I know quite a lot of people who have that opinion, but they are talking about the edge cases; they speed, handle phone calls (dropped concentration), text, chat, etc and then say they have so much freedom. But they use illegal ways to not make things boring. If it’s not commuting then I can see how it would be ‘interesting’; I drove sportscars and terrain wagons, but most driving is a->b and without doing something illegal I cannot even stay awake generally. At least that is why in my friend group everyone speeds; they would pass out otherwise. And that’s basically one of the things we are discussing here.

But if you are a model driver AND find it more fun than sex, damn you are lucky.

> Article says 912 million barrels produced since 1999

Actually, it says:

The article doesn't actually tell us the whole history, it just cherry-picks one year.

There's other suspicious playing with numbers going on:

> About 60% was turned into gasoline and diesel, enough to fuel 73m vehicles

So.. if 100% had been turned into fuel for those vehicles, that would translate to.. 122m vehicles, weirdly identical to their number for electric vehicles.

Then they're comparing a 12L/100km (19.6mpg) ICE vehicle against a Chevy Bolt in the pricing section?

Not much to see here, sadly.

Huh, it's an interesting idea, that Ivy League is a public resource. I don't agree with that, because they're private institutions. I can see where you're coming from, though, and I'd say that's a super-populist way of thinking about them (and please note that I didn't say anything else about populism). But even in the case that the Ivy League universities were a public resource, it certainly is not "writ large" that this is a tragedy of the commons.
