> You get most of your signal in the first 5 minutes (first impressions and all that).

One of the best things I ever learned from an experienced interviewer is to spend the rest of the interview trying to disprove your first impression. Otherwise, you're just making yourself a victim of confirmation bias.

> Offering a "grievance process" where nervous candidates can plead their case for a mulligan telegraphs a (probably deserved) lack of confidence in your own company's hiring practices.

I have a great deal of confidence in my hiring practices. I've rarely had a candidate reject an offer, so I'd guess the candidates also like it. I've even had candidates tell me that they think the interviewing process I've designed is really good and they learned how to be a better interviewer.

It's not a really a grievance process. It's a simple "Here is why we don't think you're qualified (e.g you don't actually know any JS in reality) but if for some reason you think we got that wrong, please let us know." Once in a blue moon someone will come back with a legit response.

> The purpose of an interviewing process for any serious business is not to find the best candidate,

No true Scotsman? I sometimes have extremely specific hiring goals. I may for example want to hire the best JavaScript person available in town because the company needs to be a thought leader in that area. Every company is different. Don't assume your hiring needs are my hiring needs. For sure when my hiring needs are to find any qualified candidate, that goes pretty quickly.
An unlikely best-case representation is not the same as a false one.
I agree it sounds weird. And if you stay in one country - having a local boutique with US tax experience makes more sense. If you bounce around, it's nice to have someone with presence in all the places you might end up traversing. Also, depending on who you work for, sometimes employees can get a deal dealing with their corporate's accountants.
Yes! I would argue this steers away from brutalism into a much more sensible, usable place. Definitely the kind of UI I advocate strongly in my book. <shameless type=“plug”> http://uxbook.io </shameless>
The IRS will settle tax debts for less than the amount owed if you can prove you have few assets and a low income. They're just like any other rational debtor in that regard.
Javascript is probably second only to bitcoin from a carbon footprint standpoint.
I think we are disagreeing on terms. People support a living wage normally mean legally mandating that the minimum amount of money that is exchanged for an hour of labor is set to $X where X is higher than today's rate.

I gave two examples where increasing the hourly rate would make it so that the business would not hire the worker because it would provide negative value to the company.

Working half the hours does change the fact that each hour loses money for the company.

He didn’t miss out in any. Background checks cost money and they wouldn’t haven’t done it until the pre-hire phase.

I've had several reads of this now, and don't understand which way you're arguing.

The current US Government pay scales are more than enough to match average developer salaries in much of the US. No, they're not going to get super-rich but they could get paid more than enough, help their country and have a stable job that doesn't rely on finding ways to monetise faddy bullshit ideas.
This is a common misconception but in fact the incompatibility is purely accidental, in addition I wouldn’t call GNU/GPL the most pragmatic license family either.

No, not condemnded to life. IRS back taxes have a ten year statute of limitations (from the point of assessment). Formally they call it the collection statute expiration date (CSED). They can't collect after that. If you owe the IRS Wesley Snipes / Willie Nelson type money, they will typically sue you in court however (which can effectively extend the ten years by generating a suspension of the countdown).
This is a gem. Love it.
"Full Professor" is a just job title. Every institution has different standards.

In the US at least, there are thousands of (good) Bachelors, Masters, and sometimes even Ph.D.-granting colleges/universities that do not require an R1-level research agenda for the Full Professor rank.

And many students use "Professor" as a title for any instructor above the Highschool level, even for people who do not have the word "Professor" in their job title, such as ad juncts, full-time non-TT instructors, and sometimes even TAs.

This answer is US-specific
Sometimes it works. Sadly brutalism also took a big hit when a lot of the concrete structures weren't properly treated and the outside deteriorated.

Concrete and stone exteriors really go from great to horrific if they're not sealed properly.

I've used JQM for a SPA for years and it's old but works fine. I'm dreading the day they release the new version and finally remove deprecations (for good reason: to improve performance) because many add-ons and hacks will surely break.

> The project is mainly(opinion) dead.

I don't think it's dead so much as they are really worried about backwards compatibility (rightly so), so they're taking their time. It could also be argued that, for its purposes, it's not so much dead as nearly complete.

On top of JQM, there's PhoneGap which I've also used for years and created both an Android and iOS app in the app stores. It allows you to access most native APIs through JavaScript shims.

Overall, I've enjoyed the simplicity of JQM+PhoneGap (I use Rails as the backend). You can still layer on any other JS framework on top, so it's not limiting. My friends and I use the app daily and performance is fine on a modern phone.

Having the same code (and I'd argue, look and feel as well) for web, mobile, and native is the best way to go for a small project trying to contain time and costs.

There are so many wrong things said in this post. First off, much of this is a comparison between react (not react-native) and flutter. React-native does not use webviews or a DOM. It uses similar paradigms to flutter, just written in dart rather than javascript.
True. There's copying, pasting, and monkey-patching!
That number is insanely high. Are they talking about all voting machines being connected to the internet? Or is it some back office set of systems?

For the life I me I don’t know why voting machines and voting systems need to be connected to the internet. It’s just a flat out unnecessary risk.

That’s not to say that they shouldn’t be built so secure you could connect them to the internet. But nothing is perfect and unnecessary risks should be avoided with such an important system.

Which is probably why we should be using paper ballots and scanners with results called in from the regional counting centers. And manual count available then as much as needed or desired post election night for verification. This rush to electronic voting boggles my mind.
As yet another person with some experience with hiring, let's not get theory and practice confused.

Taking the time to make sure it's a good fit is a worthy goal, but the industry is operating under some kind of delusion that there's a Ballmer Peak (http://xkcd.com/323/) to interviewing people somewhere between the 4th and 5th hour of the onsite interview.

Returns start diminishing very quickly after the first five minutes. This is why multiple people earlier in the process are necessary.
Honest question: why do people like lisp so much? Everything I've been able to learn about the language is that it was designed for a non-register based hardware that never caught on, so now it's just a less effective language that doesn't run as fast as anything else and has a steep learning curve since you need to learn a new programming paradigm. The only good thing I've heard about it is it's simple to implement since it doesn't have a ton of functions, but that doesn't seem like a very good reason to do something just because it's easy to write the code.

I do some algorithmic trading and automated investment in the crypto space. I trade intra-exchange and do arbitrage between pairs (tri-arb). I also occasionally rebalance into an index of coins I like. Note that I do this at a fairly small scale, so not sure if my answer really matters much.

Although there are a lot of platforms for trading crypto, when it comes to arb, I found that you need to have control over a lot of things, most importantly:

- which data center you host your code in
- the way you get data from the exchange - not just prices and order books, but also current balances and orders
- the way you push orders to the exchange

With "the way" I mean mostly which APIs you use and how, the last few milliseconds of optimization for me were usually gained by making multiple simultaneous connections to the exchange and trying to figure out the fastest one.

For my rebalanced index-like portfolio I made a little script initially and then turned it into a side project, plug: https://nazcabot.io

It's worth noting that some departments at some universities have an alternative academic ladder for instructors. Even with something analogous to assistant -> associate ~> analogous-to-tenured -> full.

It's possible to treat teaching faculty well. And even necessary in some in-demand fields where the private sector options remove the option of treating non-traditional faculty like crap.
The IRS doesn't even care about old tax debts in my experience. People perennially bring up the nightmare scenario (as suggested by the GP) where owing $1.99 turns in to a zillion dollars over the years. I was going through a background check a few years ago that required subjects to have paid all their debts to the government, and I found a temp job from a past tax year never sent me a W-2, so I filed an amended return to pay the $10 or whatever it was I owed. The IRS sent me back a check plus interest and a polite letter saying it was past the statute of limitations so they could not accept it.

This sort of thing tends to confirm my prejudices about those who complain all the time about the IRS as a bogeyman.

RFC 7396 – JSON Merge Patch
I could have worded it better, but my point in that sentence was that React targets the DOM. Overall, the goal of the article isn't to say that React or Flutter is better than the other, it's specifically to say that to be effective with Flutter, you can't view it as being the same as React, which I feel was clearly stated.
I highly recommend reading the DSX issue on github, I am one of the supporter and highly disagree with the author of this article.

If this were true, and the error rate in defending was only 0.00001%, it would still be hacked several times a day.

Google no doubt considers it worthwhile to try exhausting every possible avenue to seize control of the patent before giving up. This is win/win if them if their stated intent of protecting their free codecs is to be believed. Either they end up with the patent or they nail down a rock solid precedent that everything in their codec is in the public domain. Either way they achieve their goal of not having to worry about having outside patents filed on the contents of their codecs.

That's the opposite of a scientific approach. One of the best things I ever learned from an experienced interviewer is the spend the rest of the interview trying to disprove your first impression. Anything else is an exercise in confirmation bias. I'm not saying that I've never ended an interview early when it's obvious there is a bad fit. My time is important and so is other people's time.
The first is a good idea, but the second is not. Voter ID cards are historically used to make it harder to vote and thus compromise elections. In person fraud is very uncommon, and it would be very difficult for a foreign government to pull off a large scale interference without being detected.

After all, we struggle to get people to show up to vote once already! The idea of mass ballot fraud seems difficult to countenance without literally paying masses of people to vote (which I believe is extremely illegal).

The point of this article wasn't self-promotion at all, and I certainly mentioned the similarities between Flutter and React. The point is to highlight the differences, and that when using Flutter, you need to keep said differences in mind.

EDIT: I'm not so sure as to what you mean by "staying at the surface," though - I included examples of patterns that are common in React, their analogues in Flutter, and the reasons why said patterns may or may not apply well in Flutter.
Provided you communicate with the IRS in good faith and can show them you're doing that, I've found the IRS to be pretty easy to deal with.

It is when you don't respond, straight up don't pay for years, or lie, or something that it gets ugly.

Granted everyone's mileage may vary.
I’ve been using it on Debian for a about 3 years (and on FreeBSD almost 10 years), wouldn’t say that it has been without its problems on Debian but it seems mostly stable for home use.

Had some problems in Debian 8/Jessie especially when upgrading to 9, used it professional on some hardware testing rigs a few years back but it was a bit more cumbersome then I had hoped (had to resort to FreeBSD live boot at one point to access our data.

Haven’t had any problems in about a year now but only use it on one of my home servers running Debian. On FreeBSD it’s always been fantastic, same for illumos.
"We actually have very little "highly interactive" parts of our site"

That should have been your determining factor as to whether or not a SPA was appropriate.

We've had the opposite experience; our new react SPA is noticibly faster than our current rails site, but it is due to the nature of the pages, not "X is always Y compared to Z"
I’m not sure why ID cards are necessary. If we wanted to do that we would need to make them very easy and free for everybody to get, including getting them on the day of the election. Otherwise it becomes too much of a tool to deny part of the population the ability to vote. (Which is sadly how it’s been used so far in the USA as far as I can tell.)

What is needed is verification against double voting. You must enroll, and so long as you’re enrolled, your name and zip code are on the roll. You go to one of the polling booths for your area. Your name gets ticked off when you vote. If it’s already ticked off then you cry fowl and an investigation must begin why. This seems to work on most of the world not sure why it wouldn’t work here.
Yes, and this articles does the writer a huge disservice, especially when it comes on the HN front-page :(
> Robots seem like iPads or video chat at best

No they don't. Being physically animated makes a difference in how robots feel to be around. Aspects of their movement, sound and appearance are interpreted as affect. Researchers are able to roughly manipulate the type and amount of affect and other social cues displayed by robots, which is what makes them useful for research and therapy with autistic children.

This isn't my area, but it's a well-established niche in robotics research.
It works here. Voting fraud is incredibly rare.
They should at least add some factory functions, so you don't have to throw all these "new"s around...

If you look at this backwards, brutalist web design is not a merely “back to basic” because at dawn of the web there was no CSS, neither JS and very little tools at your disposal.

HTML pages back then looked too brutal to our eyes, so we visually borrowed from what it was more aesthetically close: Print Design.

We used data tables to design layouts. We used print design tools (PhotoShop, etc) to design shapes, shadows, gradients, custom fonts, even rounded corner (Web 2.0 all-rounded trend came out when browser implemented the border-radius propriety).

Nowadays CSS let us design complex layouts without the need of graphic software. But more than that, in all these years we developed a common “web aesthetic”: Today HTML looks less brutal to our eyes than 27 years ago.

This was true even for photography: it took almost 100 years before it was seen as something else other than an “art for failed painters”.

At this point in time, there's no support for NNBD, though people within the Dart team have proposed it. I can't speak on their behalf, though, as you can imagine.
Mmmm, no kidding. Stateless functional components are the absolute bomb from a “reasoning about your code” perspective.

FWIW I’ve found the most prosuctive front-end combination to be React + Typescript, which has the benefit of being seamlessly interoperable with JavaScript, really excellent at capturing common errors, and allowing the type system to be exploited for much more expressive code. YMMV of course.
The things you list are not mutually exclusive.
