Even a seasoned expert who literally writes card shuffling software would have a difficult time writing a well-explained solution on a whiteboard in 30 minutes.

Sure. We used to give an hour, and HR reduced it to 45 minutes. I'd rather have more time. Also, you can dial up the stringency of this particular question to an expert level where hours could be used. Or, as you admit below, it can be dialed down considerably.

Around 50% are given extremely poor ratings, like not even getting any type of coherent solution, even inefficient and not handling corner cases.

You could also dial it back to where you accept a coherent, inefficient solution that at least shows an awareness of corner cases.

This process just filters out candidates who are perfectly capable of solving the problem as a form of severe risk aversion against possibly hiring someone who lacks sufficient technical skills.

So "myopia" in your view is the delusion that such a practice is anything more than that? There are plenty of people in our industry who know that's what it's really for and who know how bad whiteboard interviews are at this task. That doesn't mean the goal is worthless. It seems that many want the goalposts lowered, such that actually understanding anything isn't required anymore.

We know the test is bad and that something better should be developed. What I'm arguing against is lowering the standards and getting rid of the test altogether.

Couple of points here. A culture biased along gender lines may bias the outcome thus obscure the effect of genetics on gender differences. Also, no one in their right mind claims that environment has no effect, and so measuring some environmental influence doesn't undermine the greater male variability hypothesis.

>And what is unusual about Czech Republic

I wouldn't hazard a guess, but the "paradoxical effect" of gender equality negatively correlating with female interest in STEM might have some hard-to-tease-out influence here.

+1. As a C++ developer with decade of experience, I'm finding Rust hard. It is a truly innovative language with a rising ecosystem that makes life of developers easier in a lot of areas. But overall the safety and performance benefits do not seem to be worth the effort if you just want to get things done. My thinking is, if you are smart enough to master Rust, and you do need tight control of memory that GC overhead is not worth it, you are probably smart enough to write safer C++.

One of the hospitals we had a child at had income based repayment and it was a sliding scale all the way up to 100-something thousand dollars per year of income. At the lower end of the scale, they cut your bill to a small fraction of the original bill.

I'm actually surprised this doesn't come up more in discussions about the cost of healthcare.

We were actually uninsured when we had our first child right around the time the ACA came into existence, and my wife had an epidural so it was about as expensive as a birth could be without a C-Section, and after the income based adjustment the bill went from something like $30,000 to only a couple thousand dollars I believe and they also offered a 12 month interest free payment plan.

It was definitely not a side of the industry that I had ever heard about.

Besides the obvious "surveilance and punishment" approach, the other politically incorrect but sometimes proven effective approach is raise public transportation prices a lot and then subsidize it if you have a stable job, a family, no criminal record, etc, etc. Of course this includes the word "subsidize" so it may be politically charged as a proposal in the USA, or so I've heard.

I once fell into the position of having to hire for a fast-growing new team at a large corporation. We didn't have a manager yet, so our department's VP trusted me to make hiring decisions.

I made the first 20-ish hires, then helped out with 20 more. When we eventually got a director and other managers who were peers to me, I held the informal distinction of being able to make good hiring calls. Many of my hires rose quickly in the company, earned strong performance reviews, and even won awards at the company.

Eventually, I become a middle manager and had to teach managers I supervised how to hire in a similar fashion. Relying on me to make a final call wasn't scalable.

And that's when trouble began.

A few bad hires leaked in. For the first time, our group experienced attrition. So I set about to try to systemize my recruiting process such that it was repeatable by others.

That's when I had to codify our team "culture", which was something I used to help with my hiring decisions. There were times when I made a call to hire a candidate who seemed too junior for a role, because I felt there was a strong "culture fit."

Of course, what I realized was, I was simply assessing for typical soft skills, as well as personality traits such as tenacity, initiative, quick study, etc.

In other words, there was no magic. I didn't have some special gift for hiring. It was just a simple unspoken template in my head. And it wasn't exactly "culture" either, as much as it was a set of personality traits that every company looks for.

I suppose what I came up with was basically a "structured culture fit screening assessment", to borrow the article's parlance. If you don't have something like this, I'd highly encourage that you look into it. Not only can it help minimize bias, but it can also give you a repeatable process for all of your company's hiring managers.
The counter argument is that you no longer feel pressure to kick the issue to your congressperson to push for public transit, because a "good enough" solution has been presented (a solution that isn't as good for the environment or city than a bus).
It looks like they're different kinds of difficult. From your link:

« In hindsight and with a deeper understanding, it’s not surprising why a doubly linked list is so problematic. Each variable can only have 1 owner. If prev and next both hold pointers to a middle node, which is the owner? They can’t both be the owner. If one is the owner, another can borrow. But Rust won’t let you mutate while someone else is borrowing, so neither could actually modify the list! In general, if you have loops in your object graph you’re out of luck. »

So the solution for doubly linked lists is to write some "unsafe"-marked Rust once, really bang on it, and ship that in a crate full of generic data structures. This is acceptable to me; it's no worse than C.

With closures, it sounds like the issue is not that it's impossible, but that the lifetime and mutability analysis get tricky in some cases.

I already told you, I liked your article. I said it was great. You get a trophy, smart person.

My gripe is a lack of disclaimer. There are plenty of people who will read it, then rush right out to duplicate it. That will bring bugs and chaos all over the javascript world.

The trampoline is a bad idea in practice. I can't show you an out of memory error or lack thereof. The code in your article hard locked the dev tools which is much much worse than throwing an error.

Since the trampoline is a bad idea, the solution to your stack overflow errors needs work. It follows that with no solution, then the ycombinator itself is inappropriate. It shouldn't be hard for you to admit that, being as smart as you are. All I'm asking is that you mention that more prominently in your otherwise great article.

Well, Anarchism has been pretty successfully demonized, misinterpreted and put into the "evil" bin with every other -ism except for capitalism

Plenty of people demonize capitalism.

Kind of hard to organize when you're whole philosophy is allergic to hierarchical structures.

So you're admitting that it's a losing proposition for getting anything done? The banner of anarchy seems to be good at organizing people into building weapons, collecting fireworks as munitions, and organizing tactics to be able to get away with assault and vandalism. You can see the violence online in videos, and I've personally been to places where those weapons are made and stored.

People seem to like to be ruled, so long as they have just enough freedom.

AFAICT, this is generally how people are put together.

Doesn't link to the study. Why is there no mention of taxis? Clearly if people are ridesharing instead of taking public transit, that's less efficient. But ridesharing is vastly more efficient than how it used to be with taxi hailing. They'd circle the streets looking for fares and there was little to no pooling.

It's highly plausible that people are choosing rideshares over public transit / walking / biking, leading to an overall increase. It's believable. But to truly assess it we need to deduct the old taxi system. With no mention of that and no link to the source study it's hard to tell if they did.

I'm not sure if Uber/Lyft put more cars on the road, but I'm sure that Uber and Lyft drivers do things that cause traffic.

Many analyses of traffic have shown that individual drivers can cause huge downstream traffic effects. When you see an Uber driver just stop at a corner at a major intersection, there can be 10-15 cars slowed by having to wait or go around.

Biking around SF has made me very wary of certain car models popular for Uber. If I see a Prius I assume it could stop anywhere at any time.

Even with all that ... These services may still be a net positive. I use them a lot on the weekends and would never be able to get around the city like I do without them.
>Why does it have to be an anti-car narrative, or something insidious

Because there is an ideological (i.e. irrational) component to some objections. It's true.

>Why do you think limited-supply medallion systems existed in the first place

Taxi lobby pressuring municipal governments? I cannot imagine you using the past system as an example of a well-run program. There was never a good reason to limit the number of taxicabs on the streets. There were good reasons for some regulations, such as driver registration, transparent pricing, vehicle standards, but not regulations around limiting number of vehicles.

>"I forgot why these regulations existed and now a 100 year old problem is being recreated"

There is no new problem recreated. Your argument went away when EVERYONE could afford a car and clogged the streets anyway. In the present day, any transportation option that incentivizes people not to own a car is good.
MTA has many onerous labor issues that the NYS and NYC DOT don't need to deal with.

>> it could be seeding LEO with small particles capable of shredding other satellites and we just haven't launched enough to run into them yet.

There is plenty of natural sat-shredding material up there now. In most orbits there is more natural material passing through than man-made. Earth is hit by over 100 tonnes of natural material per day. Take the sphere of orbits, and many thousands of tonnes pass by daily, far more than the mass of the sats up there. If we turned all the sats into sand, it wouldn't increase the collision risk in comparison to the shower of natural debris we already deal with.

Server-Timing Response Header (& NPM Package)
What's interesting is that the Rust community has turned this difficulty on its head: linked-lists are unnecessary, performance killers, and generally evil. (Ditto for trees.)

That's all true, if you squint really hard, gloss over the equivalencies, discount the additional complexity, and ignore the basic simplifying elegance of linked-lists (particularly the so-called intrusive data structure implementations). But it's dramatically overstated because of a certain defensiveness.

What is absolutely true is that cyclical referencing is the bane of static analysis, and anathema to a language that leans so heavily on its typing system for modeling language semantics. What you think that implies depends on your faith in how far type-based, lifetime-based static analysis can go toward addressing larger issues in the software ecosystem.
Other than the fact that it feels cheap and you think drivers deserve to pay more is there any reason that you believe $0.01/mi is too little? I mean it's about $1500 over the life of every car. Does a single passenger vehicle really cause more than $1500 worth of externalities?
Yea knowing how to not acciddentally get an O(n^3) bottleneck is table stakes for development.

It seems to me that a lot of younger folks want to lower the bar below that.

If you're looking for devs to show that they understand the ideas, you'd be better off telling them the problem space ahead of time so that they can prepare for it, and then deeply questioning their knowledge in that space

Perhaps combine that with a related but novel question.
In my admittedly limited experience in Austin, the problem is more parking than traffic a lot of the time (at least downtown). I rented a car the last couple of times I visited but walked or changed plans to avoid moving it. Could I have used Uber at the time, I wouldn't have rented a car in the first place: I would've effectively shared one with others, kept another parking spot open the whole time, and would've been more flexible and saved a lot of time.
Social intelligence that leads to the top may not be related to IQ or fluid intelligence. It may be ability to communicate, read and project ideas, not thinking better ideas.

> There were plenty of startups that wanted to run "Uber, but with a bus instead of a Car" and they all died because of regulation from the cities.

In most cases, the inverse of this statement is closer to the truth: most 'micro transit' companies have been propped up by government subsidies but have nevertheless constantly lost money on each ride.

"Culture fit" has appeared to me to be an aspect of the mainstream, like if a company culture was defined by Coldplay.
Closures are a fair thing to want to be easy, but I'm not sure "can't write basic data structures that someone has already written better than you will" isn't a feature.

Truth is that one of the reasons they're "hard" in rust is because it's actually harder than people think to make a proveably correct linked list (in the absence of a cycle-safe garbage collector). It's really just surfacing a cognitive dissonance common to the programming world.

(Note for clarity: closures are also hard to prove correct in the same environment, but there's a lot more need to write them in normal working code)
I'm hoping they give all classes of seats a bare minimum of 35" of leg room/seat pitch. That would be a huge change to air travel.
Writing a doubly linked list isn't that hard [1], and if you're willing to do it in unsafe rust, it's not any harder than any other language without a GC.

The FAA has never cared about what a payload or spacecraft does once it is in orbit. They care about licensing the launches themselves and clearing the airspace, but once your vehicle is in space they don't care what you do with it (they also license reentries, but only for things that aren't meant to burn up in the atmosphere).

US STRATCOM does space situational awareness work now (US Space Command was dismantled in 2002 as part of post-9/11 reorganizations, and most of its responsibilities were handed off to STRATCOM). STRATCOM _is_ currently legally mandated to interface and share data with commercial entities for traffic management purposes. However I don't believe they have or ever had any regulatory or licensing powers. STRATCOM also seems eager to pass their situational awareness responsibilities off to either the FAA or DOC.

The FCC has been making the argument since the 90s that their charter to regulate in the "public interest" lets them take orbital debris mitigation into account when licensing satellites communications, and it's been codified into their administrative law. If congress or the president considered this a power grab, they've had more than a decade to do something about it. Trump is trying to make the DOC a "one stop shop" for commercial space licensing. However, I believe his executive orders still leave the FAA, FCC, and NOAA's current regulatory roles intact.

edit: initially had 2012 instead of 2002 for the year that US Space Command was shut down
