That's fair(er), but after you've gone through a service like Triplebyte, you're supposed to be screened. Extra screening steps beyond the onsite are excessive.

The promise of something like Triplebyte (for the candidate) is that I do one round of technical interview, and then proceed directly to my favorite companies for culture fit and personal evaluation. But every company believes that they're the special snowflake who deserves extra screening.

Europe was built (re-built after WW II) to be energy-efficient. Cars have diesel motors that make half the power of the same model in the USA. Air conditioning in the home is almost unheard-of. Nobody I know there has a clothes dryer that roasts your clothes with gas or electricity - the unit I had when I lived there was a washer/dryer combo with a really powerful spin cycle and then a mild heater coupled with a condensing unit (basically a dehumidifier) - clothes come out damp, so you have to hang them up to get to final dry-ness. All light bulbs are fluorescent, if not LED, and all lights in public buildings are on motion sensors or timer switches.

California skates by because the big population centers need almost zero heating or cooling, relatively speaking. Other than that, our power use would make a German Green Party member see red.
Sweden is a lot colder than California, it's not surprising that better insulation is required.
On the same vein the lack of an adequate and simple way to assess proficiency let way to very different interpretations of what "speaking a language" implies. According to many being able to talk is sufficient, but IMHO (and AFAIK according to most linguists(?)) it implies to be able to read a (generic) newspaper and to write like the average native. French is my mother tongue, and it seems to me that learning to talk in 20 different Romance languages would be more easy for me than commanding (including the written form) Mandarin, Arabic and Hungarian.

One issue is that zoning rules don't always cover every potential problem. For example, there's been a huge controversy in Redwood City (and neighboring Atherton) regarding a coffee shop that is going in, which will employ lingerie-clad baristas (and apparently have mirrors on the ground, to make things even skeezier). [1]

This coffee shop apparently meets all current zoning rules, though the employees may need to be somewhat less scantily-clad than the ones working at other locations. Regardless, this shows one way in which zoning rules don't always predict developments that neighbors might reasonably want to avoid.

Go is kind of special, as it is new relatively and the initial implementation of every feature is usually the most basic possible. Thus, every new version there is space for a lot of improvements. What I mean: the garbage collector is/was for all intents and purposes Dijkstra's late 70s ('78) tricolor algorithm.

They eliminated re-scanning of the stack on Go 1.7 by adding a hybrid write barrier which is 90's work (found the proposal: https://github.com/golang/proposal/blob/master/design/17503-...). So Go is by no means state-of-the-art performance wise. That is not bad and has its benefits, one of them being that you can improve with every release.
If they sold it to Mastercard as double blind I personally would trust them on it.

4. Buy a VPN subscription and set up your phone and Mac to always use it (on-demand).
Speech-to-text is great. I'm using it to transcribe voicemails in a product I'm building.
I agree with you in that I still think the right thing to do is build.

I also think it's really easy to say "sorry, you fucked up when you spent all your money on a house" if it's someone else. These aren't all "Boomers who got lucky" - they are also millennials buying their houses today at current rates.

I think we have to have more empathy for these people if we want to make progress.

Can one block in hosts? Or does it use too many hostnames/IPs?

Edit: OK, so I've played some with Wireshark. And it seems that Firefox is talking to many Google servers. So blocking google-analytics.com in hosts seems to do nothing.

All property owners are afforded protection under the law, regardless of income and wealth status. Low income renters, by the very definition, have no equity in the situation. Someone would need to subsidize the equity you want them to have (no complaints with that, just find the voluntary party willing to pay for it).

Homes are very poorly insulated here because it's not necessary. The climate is so nice, the heater only runs a month or two out of the year, and not even the whole day. It maybe brings up the inside temperature 5 degrees C. We could get by without air conditioning entirely, but I have it and it gets used perhaps for a total of two weeks in the summer.

Compare that to northern Europe where the outside temperature is below 0C for a lot of the winter, the payoff for properly insulating a house, installing new windows, etc, just isn't there. If you really wanted to save energy, move somewhere where you don't require so much energy to not freeze to death.

One could argue that LTS software is just a trap (and a particularly lucrative one). I know that this is likely a couple factors that allow me to say this namely

1. I can rule over our dependency and technology choices with an iron fist if need be

2. I live in on post 3.6+ Python as our main language and for anyone with good CD/CI you can always run your tests against the master branch and latest dev builds at least one or two versions ahead

Okay so with that said, I feel like LTS versions of software are a trap for this reason. You end up in situations where there is so much pain with upgrading that you end up spending more either more time slogging through incompatibilities in the upgrade pipeline the longer you put it off the worst this gets, or you end up in situations where you have to maintain a forked Verizon’s if the code base while you upgrade things or you have to do a lot of monkey patching and work around to just get things running (famously this is the approach GitHub used to upgrade from different versions of Rails)

The alternative is to pay money to companies that will maintain the version of what you are using, but even then you inevitably have to move forward and that leads to nasty vendor lock in

I personally believe that having a robust CD/CI platform and a well tested code base allows you to by pass this whole charade. We always have our code tested against the next next incremental release in testing, the next versions dev branch and a rolling git pull and build that tests our code base. We really do expect things to break but it lets us plan with our working code quite accurately to avoid this problem altogether and now we largely update pretty close to release cadence.

I don’t know if this helps anyone but I suggest doing software development in this fashion will save you a ton of headache. Being up to date with rolling release strategies has helped our productivity immensely because we can think about our dependencies and we have really whittled down to just a few core ones l. At a certain point we also formed some of the smaller ones and find maintaining those ourselves has been a flawless experience
For me? the kicker would be insurance. Is the company wiling to insure it? I mean, like enough to cover my lifetime expected earnings? then sure, I'll get in the car.

Driving is very dangerous, and most drivers don't even carry enough insurance to pay for a couple months time off if they hit me. This, essentially, make my injuries an externality that isn't priced into the cost of transportation.

For that matter, if I'm injured in an accident and it's my fault, I don't have a lot of coverage for myself; I mean, through work, I have a long-term disability package, but that's still not great compared do what I'd make were I not disabled, and disability, as I understand it, is a huge pain in the ass when it comes to you being, you know, 'partially disabled' - still able to work, but not able to make nearly what you made before.

Carrying adequate insurance insures that the total cost of the injuries caused is rolled into the operating cost of the vehicle, and helps to price it rationally.
Wow, you must go crazy every time you see a car, which must take up 100x the space, cause 50x the damage.
Sure it makes sense. Just put `gvim /dev/stdin` in the pipeline you desire and write to stdout when you're done. You can add to your configuration to remap `ZZ` (which usually saves the file and exits) to `:wq! /dev/stdout` when stdout is not a terminal. I'm going to do that when I get back to my computer.

>>That’s the other thing: real estate is not a guaranteed investment.

The types of people the parent is describing don't buy real estate as an investment. They buy it as an asset. And for most Americans, their house is their most valuable asset.

Not upgrading your dependencies in-line with upstream is a form of perverse technical debt -- perverse because most technical debt is incurred to get new features/releases quicker, whereas the technical debt from not upgrading is incurred to simply stay where you are.
This is one of my favorite tricks. The nice thing is that it still works if you’re ssh’ed into a remote host. If I’m feeling nostalgic I’ll do ‘... && say “files done”’ (which only works locally)
It is troubling that the comment here which suggested oversized passengers could pay more is already flagged, when that profit motive is exactly what would result in larger, higher-priced seats.

It's stupidly uncomfortable for tall and broad people to fly, and while one user here in this thread commented about that: 'I would pay for a larger seat,' I'm making a guess they then downvoted the comment, 'make bigger passengers pay more.'

If you can show me that building more housing causes everyone else’s property values to fall, I’ll believe you. Until then, these are the exact same arguments people use to prevent building any housing.

Remember, this all rests on the assumption that building housing necessarily depresses property values, and that isn’t a guarantee. You can tell because it goes further than that. It’s hard to build any housing at all. My city had about 100,000 people in it. I know some smart urban planners and they estimate it would take about 20,000 to 30,000 new units to stabilize our rental market. Not drive prices down, just stabilize. But we can’t even build ONE apartment building, let alone tens of thousands of units. Even if more housing would drive property values down (which it doesn’t necessarily), it would take so much housing before it ever got to that point.

And once again, we can have empathy and we can build housing. I promise one or two apartment buildings isn’t going to ruin grandma and grandpa’s home value. I promise.
That's a good definition, and a very useful one for VCs . It's also not how most people are using the word. It's not how dictionaries or wikipedia define the word either. So I think we need to be a little careful and make sure everyone agrees on whose definition we are using at the start of a conversation.
Story of Goliaths becoming David
Are we talking through each other because I feel like we are arguing the same point.

jzymbaluk said "Why shouldn't land owners be able to build whatever they want on their own property? It's not your backyard, it's your neighbors property" which screams "No zoning" to me.

Then "saagarjha" said "As long as they follow the noise and disturbance ordinances, then sure." which screams "the market will naturally balance homeowner satisfaction with factories/businesses".

I responded with "Are you suggesting that nightclubs should be banned altogether? If not, then where do you suggest to put them since they are inherently noisy?" as without zoning, homeowners, businesses, and factories could be right next to each other.
I personally would strongly recommend going the rust route having spent a decent amount of time learning Haskell. I think youll spend more time working on real problems and learn more about low level programming, in addition to the code being much faster.

Bureaucracy as Active Ingredient
Thanks for answering, I was curious about the time because I know large tech companies will fly people in for day long interviews. But I've only been on the receiving end of a couple of interviews(funnily enough the last one was by sctb before he left for ycombinator) and they were all less than 3 hrs of my time from resume to offer. And I was worried a longer process might turn off candidates unless we have strong brand recognition, or an extremely competitive salary.
Can you not spare a shred of sympathy for people who want to live in the city they work in but can’t because property owners won’t let them? Sorry, I don’t have a lot of sympathy for people who actively block building new housing because “screw you, got mine”. (Also, building housing doesn’t just tank the value of your home, trust me.)

“Don’t just automate, obliterate.” Michael Hammer and James Champy. (1990s)

If my memory serves me correctly.
If you buy a property that has a magnificent view, but has an empty building lot next door, or an old dilapidated home ripe for being pulled down, then, in a transparent zoning situation, you'll be fully aware that you may be built out and you'll have no rights to prevent it.

That means you'll pay less for your property, and you get to enjoy your view for as long as it lasts, and keep some money in your pocket.

If on the other hand you do have all sorts of rights to prevent anyone from building out your view then that same house will cost you a lot more - perhaps more than you'll be able to afford.

Either of these situations seems fair, because you know the rules in advance.

Crappy situations arise when the rules are not clear. In that case, you don't really know how much you should pay for that house, and you may suffer immense angst when your view disappears.
Care to tell your story because that is totally fucked up if a cop took a measly $800 in cash from you?
Many Java applications will gladly take 10%, or even higher, performance hit if that means more predictable GC times. If you own a latency sensitive application, then it's common for tail latencies to be dominated by GC times. Bringing tail latencies closer to median would be a huge win for those app, even if the median itself moved.
>>You have certain rights when you buy property, but “a view” isn’t one of them.

I have a right to what I pay for. This is simply inarguable.

In most highrises, the view tends to make up a significant portion of the value. This is why units become more expensive the higher up they are: the view is better from a higher altitude.

So essentially, when a developer comes and builds another highrise next door, they are destroying a big part of the value of the original highrise units.

So, if I have a right to what I pay for, and someone is doing something to negatively affect that, the NIMBY argument becomes rather straight-forward.

(Again, these aren't my actual views. I'm simply saying I can sympathize with NIMBYs, even though I despise them.)
So in situations like these, do you:

a) Fix the zoning rules

b) Make everybody ask the city council and all their neighbors for permission for every little thing, every time

(a) is at least trying to make an even playing field for everyone. The rules are for everybody, and everybody has to follow them, regardless of political connections or money or lawyering, etc. At least in theory.

With (b), you start by trying to get an exception carved out for yourself, so in practice only those with the most patience, money, lawyers, political connections, etc. will be able to get what they want, and everybody else gets the Kafka treatment.
I agree. But then, prudent folk have GA blocked everywhere, no?
Yep, and that's why JS is moving and everyone else is biting the dust lol.

Progress needs to be made and those who can't follow don't have the right to complain really. Old tools are always available because language compatibility is preserved (which, imo should also be dropped, we would have much better language as a result).
