Sorry, I should have explained. I didn't give them a list of tasks at the start; the format was more conversational and I verbally walked them through the list.

The reason I did it that way was to give several easy "warm up" questions at the beginning to get them comfortable.

I like your idea of combining several of the first steps together though -- I may try that and see if that's more or less stressful for the candidate.
20 million a year minus 6 million a year is 14 million a year. That's over two holocausts a year that are no longer dying. That's worth celebrating...

... without forgetting the holocaust a year that is still happening.
Not Mongodb but Redis . I added Redis to my stack and I am absolutely loving it for what it does. I have SQL server for stuff that belongs in a RDBMS e.g. purchase data, accounts etc. . But the operations and analytics related stuff for my application goes into Redis. And Redis outperforms the SQL server for those purposes.

If you can represent your data in terms of data structures as opposed to Table/records, you may want to take a look at Redis.

I always thought that the concept that you had to earn your right to vote was an interesting one. In the book, in order to vote, you first had to complete [onerous] military service.

Technically true. Also technically Holocaust could refer to the Armenian Genocide, or the USSR genocide against Ukraine or whatever other catastrophe and yet it doesn't and comparing what is absolutely aweful to one of the worst genocides in human history shouldn't win you any points.
I'd like to get clarification because the way the article flows, it seems like they're saying Jessica Price was engaging with the fanbase aggressively via official channels, and not her own personal twitter account, which is a huge difference. Are we now in a place where your employer gets to dictate how you present yourself on social media? When I'm on the clock, absolutely, I have to stay on message when using the official accounts, but on my own? Fuck all of that, and fuck anyone who thinks that way. I am my employer's resource from when I come into the office to when I go home, and for brief moments whilist remote-ing in to handle an issue, and outside of that I should have legal protections to do whatever the hell my heart desires, and that includes talking.

Thanks for the book recommendation. I've invested a lot of time studying psychology and how the mind works to build a framework to increase my understanding of human behavior and consciousness. It's always nice to see books that enhance this journey.

edit: to give something back. Please see [1]. A psychologist tries to build a coherent mental framework that contains most of the current knowledge in psychology. There are some theories (like BIT) which are not particularly controversial, but very helpful to understand the human mind.

I'm not sure anyone in the rural area of my childhood would say that Zuckerberg's parents (psychiatrist, and dentist) were just "middle-class". I'm not saying he isn't talented, but he did have a software developer tutor him privately in the 1990s.

I think it could be argued that the entire mechanics of drug development (and costs) would be fundamentally different in an environment without patents. Without the incentive of monopoly, there might be a lot more evolution (think of forking/branching of open source software projects) of meds, which I imagine would significantly alter the costs/incentives in drug development. These are kind of just my thoughts as a layman, though.

I'm a fan of Musk and what he is trying to achieve through his current company endeavors. But it seems crazy to commend Musk for this particular set of actions. Imagine Musk coming up to you telling you how he can save your burning house by enclosing your house in a super technology bag to prevent oxygen while your local firefighters are already trying to put out the fire out with hoses.

Not saying Musk's effort is bad but he doesn't deserve the publicity IMO. The volunteers like the one who discovered the kids and the one that died trying deserve magnitude of credit more because of what they have done.

I think there are so much negative remarks is because in Engineering, functionality and practicality is the most important.

Yeah, that seems like the IBM (and others approach). The problem with 0 software patents is that any small player no longer has a window to be a first mover.

Haven't touched awstats for the best part of a decade. What is the new shiny on these server log tools?

Why is it that not one SEO organisation/company/snake-oil salesperson ever thinks to look at the server logs? One problem that Progressive Web App/server worker solves is catching those messages that don't get sent to Google Analytics and making sure they are sent. You would think that server stats offer a level of truthiness that SEO types would be interested in.

In theory you could do backend tracking, e.g. default server logs and not run cookies on the frontend until the site visitor does something requiring state, e.g. adding to cart. Then you could throw up the 'cookie notice' and aggregate their previous page visits to get the data needed to see where the sales funnel is working, even de-anonymising it so you know more about a given customer and their browsing habits.
I don't see how one thing follows from the other. GA is obviously not intended for storing Protected Health Information.
Well now I have Cybernazi in my Youtube history, guess I should read the article before clicking the Youtube link and then blithely clicking "okay" on the notice informing me that the video content has been flagged.

I'm not a recruiter. I'm a startup founder. And I'm working on hiring people I'm going to work with every day.

As much as I'd like to hire every person interested in coding, unfortunately that would be detrimental to our core mission of building a product. And in the medium-run it'd be bad for everyone anyway because we'd just go out of business.

I definitely learned I can't evaluate people's technical ability only by talking... which worries me. Because prior to this I expected that I would have been able to predict who would be able to code and who wouldn't. Some of my "favorite" candidates before the technical interview wouldn't have been able to complete FizzBuzz.
Looks interesting, will try it out.

If you sell software, you have a customer that can do whatever they like.

Software should be judged based on how useful it is. Hugo isn't what you or I would build, but a lot of people find it incredibly useful. Same as WordPress, where their slogan "code is poetry" makes me think "yeah, vogon poetry".
Most likely. The iOS guys that work on Mozilla apps are pretty tech savvy and use latest Apple technology.
does not sell your data

Depends on how you define sell.

Advertisers pay to use the Google's collected data about people in order to better target their ads. This happens through Google's advertising channels (Doubleclick, AdWords, etc...)

Money changes hands. Personal data is involved. Sounds like selling to me.

Perhaps you should say "Google does not directly sell copies of your data," instead. But there is indeed a transaction involving personal data.
> in-browser password storage is insecure

> (If you don't use a master password, which isn't required, I believe?)

When using a cloud-synced password vault that lands on the servers of a third party (this includes Firefox, Google, 1Password, Lastpass, etc.) you must always assume that the file itself is compromised; the only thing between an attacker and your passwords is the encryption by your master key.

I seriously doubt that Firefox Lockbox will allow you to cloud-sync your password file without setting a master password. *

Note: One of the first things malware authors typically go for is the password vault stored in browsers, but this is only because it is commonly used without any master key set.

* It might depend on some key derived from your account password, if you haven't observed the requirement of a master key. Not sure.
I’m struck by the apparent no-warning nature of the firing. Were internal expectations clearly set for how employees should behave when interacting with fans and customers? Do companies like ArenaNet with especially vocal fan communitiecs generally have codes of conduct for employee-customer interaction?
I think you're muddying the waters unnecessarily here.

c) this doesn't stand up on closer examination. it was already possible if you had the money using shell/holding companies and the various privacy guard options registrars offer. besides, GDPR is mainly about individual's privacy.

b) maybe true, but irrelevant. there are plenty of domain registrars operating in Europe, which have to comply with European laws anyway.

a) absolutely, and fair point. however, ICANN's behaviour shows they were right to criticise this artificial hegemony over shared or national critical infrastructure (e.g. country or region-specific TLDs).
They give some context further down:

> The Mitchells are the fifth set of parents from the Followers of Christ Church to face criminal charges after failing to secure medical attention for their children in the past nine years, according to the prosecutor.

Russia made gigantic leaps from 1917 to 1956. They went from absolute backwards shithole to contending world power in 39 years (even less considering ww2 was over 10 years before that).

Yeah, the whole thing is just levels of stupid. The fact that a fellow writer who got involved was fired as well is just gasoline on the fire.

I spent a fair bit of time in that industry and generally the ones running the studios were not the most level-headed people. There's all sorts of abuse that happens because "Hey, it's games! You should be lucky to work in such an industry!".
> threading weirdness, memory corruption, resource leakages, other people's bugs

Just as an FYI, most of these are theoretically eliminated or at least drastically mitigated by a switch from mutable state to immutable, purely-functional data structures. The cost of course being somewhat increased memory consumption and a bit more slowness (or a lot, depending on the algorithm).

If you ever get a chance to work with the BEAM VM, it's pretty tight.
> you still have to worry about installing and managing the JVM

Up to a very limited point. JVM backward compatibility is very good so you can do global version upgrades with reasonable confidence, and the JVM is such a common requirement (in the context of being a java shop) that including it in the base system image makes sense.

> plus whatever file-system resources like logging locations etc.

It's very much doable to get these down to zero (e.g. using remote logging), and I find it's worthwhile.
Yes, it is. My intention was to highlight that the separation of these concepts is not a 'unicorn'.
Considering how big that company is — they should have spent some $$$ on hr/twitter policy training/guidelines so mucky situations like this could be avoided. And also, if they persist, quick to be resolved as it would be more akin to a policy lookup in a legal contract
Thanks for the mention of this test. I scored 51, but for some reason I am known as the 'right wing conservative AWM' in some circles.

I just suppose that even liberal people judge by looks (I do look like the prototypical AWM) and by small disagreements about some liberal thesis (e.g. I don't agree with 100% with current feminism mantras, yet in absolute terms I agree 90% with feminists in general and disagree 99.9% with barefoot&pregnant types). There is a lot of cargo cult among liberals.

As someone that grew through the 00's — I commend the ability to package the feeling of the era into a style, and some of the things back then (like your first time opening a Basic interpreter) were neat... but, boy, the cliparts and Encarta era is not something I'd be nostalgic of.

We had a glimpse of all the information that was out there, but still couldn't access more than a little bit of it. It was frustrating more than anything else. Personally I had gladly archived it in the back of my mind till it started to surge back as vaporwave.
The initial users came because of an enormous hype fueled by "Linus made a VCS" and a weird quasi-religious belief in the community that it is better than anything else in that space. Crazy times back then, really.

Lets say you are scraping for "Lawn Chair" and I change it to specify "A chair for your lawn" in an attempt to improve SEO. How would your system cope with that?

Suppose alternatively that I have previously shown the status as "available" or "out of stock" and now I change it for some products to "no longer available". Can your system handle those edge cases?
I think ArenaNet made the right call. She was using her personal twitter account to represent her employer. Her reaction to a fan was over the top, and not representative of the company's values. What is Twitter if not a global discussion forum?

Deroir's comment was a polite disagreement. I have no idea how she would want people to phrase their disagreement, or is this a case of "don't @ me with your opinion?"
There's an interesting comment in that article, by someone who doesn't believe in the Copenhagen intepretation of social justice.

> She said she liked working at Facebook and didn’t resent the engineers and product managers she cleans up after. “I know that they are the ones that are making the money,” she said in Spanish. “They are the ones doing the hard job and getting fair pay.”
It would be more useful to present your ideas here instead of linking to a 20-minute YouTube video.
My guess is that Thailand wanted to be on the spotlight. There are kids dying of hunger, disease, sex-enslavement, violence or negligence (car/house accidents). But they are very unlikely to be on the spotlight.

GIVE.asia recently migrated from MongoDB to Postgresql. We didn't really use any special feature from MongoDB, so it was basically a poor decision.

One of the main problem we have with MongoDB was that there was no schema. When we changed schema (e.g. add column, delete column), we needed to write a migration script to update all the data inside that schema. It was burdensome, so sometimes we didn't do it. This led to a situation where different rows might have different columns.

Postgresql (or mysql and others), on another hand, forces us to handle schema change immediately because the schema change (e.g. add column, remove column) applies to all rows immediately. That leads to cleaner data.

Two situations you might need MongoDB (or other nosql):
1. having an extremely large data that it's impossible to modify all of them when changing schema, or 2. you actually don't care about schema that much (e.g. logs)
> Why is it that not one SEO organisation/company/snake-oil salesperson ever thinks to look at the server logs?

When you're hosted on S3, etc, you don't get access to the logs.

For larger sites which are hosted across a number of webservers, behind a load-balancer, getting a unified access-log is also a little fiddly.

But I guess the honest answer is that it's not trendy enough these days. With Javascript submission of "stuff" you get much more data about your visitors than you can glean from the server-side logs.
This is the issue I've found with every open source product. I'm perfectly happy to pay for an analytics product, so the best I've been able to find is adobe Omniture. Unfortunately that's a 30 - 100k price tag. There is definitely a market for a powerful analytics platform at a reasonable price.
People literally have stepped over a homeless person to get a closer look at the shop window tv covering this story.

I've find it profoundly disturbing just how many people feel it's perfectly fine, and indeed laudable, for companies to immediately terminate employees during a situation like this. Even if you think that Price's actions were wrong, the fact that she had no warning and no recourse seems wrong. Yes, I know ArenaNet is based in an at-will employment state (Washington) so they are legally permitted to do this, but just because it's legal doesn't mean it's right.

But hey - all hail our corporate gaming overlords, right?
I really wonder what their actual product is.

In the end cloud computing on the blockchain would make cloud computing overly complex with little to no visible benefit. Compute resources in reality are simple as hell, privacy is always first if that is your policy. But privacy comes from process and tech is just a tiny tool for it.

Frankly, this so far presents not a single hint of a usable product and reads like some people trying to cash out with questionable buzz.

Remember: scientific papers are usually a polar opposite to actual implementations.

Think Kubernetes as presented vs. actually running it.

I've always had the view that FTL travel necessitates time travel in certain frames of reference. Special frames of reference are currently "unpopular".

It sounds like you are referencing a special reference frame where FTL could prove such a special reference frame exists, and that such a frame would allow FTL to be possible without time travel.

Can you explain a little more about this idea?
