I interviewed a full day at a mathematical hedge fund. Not exactly brainteasers, rather a barrage of good, solid math and stats questions. Such a day is exhilarating (like skiing the Olympics) but truly exhausting, and only partially related to whether one gets an offer.

My advice to anyone doing this would be to give up the last 10% of performance in order to focus some on contextual awareness. These puzzles are a form of pre-surgical anesthesia, before they ask the real questions. You need the spare cycles at the end of a long day to imagine what casual conversation might really be exploring, how other applicants might misread the subtext, what mistakes in previous hiring they're trying not to repeat. One could be a genius trained seal, by buying into the brainteaser game, and miss the broader question of how you will fit into their firm. One who sees broader contexts ends up running places; don't make it clear that's not you.
Cool idea, but how do I know you're not a Keylogger in disguise?

I think the answer is that most people are not like that, and the ones that are don't think about it from that perspective or that explicitly. All disagreeable human behavior is easy to point out and criticize in its most straightforward and uncharitable representation.
Indeed you can, so long as you assume governments (and countries) aren't fungible.
That's a fair argument, but the counterargument is that permissive licenses are good for users because permissive licenses allow more software to incorporate your component, thus (presumably) increasing the overall quality of software, and it's good for users to have good-quality software.
I like my cherry browns because of the feel, not the sound. Clicky sounds is just a side effect that prevents me from using it elsewhere but my home office.
I don't think it's simply the lack of consumer price comparison that is making it easy for Amazon to front ads without consequence. I think it's also that for many different consumer products, consumers don't know precisely what they want, or more particularly, how to model their requirements. If they knew their precise requirements, they would easily be able to judge whether or not a given ad was fronting a product actually is the right one for the job (that sometimes happens), as well as whether or not the products were a good deal.

It would be interesting if there was a repository of the performance specs for different common household products. Right now it's the job for critics and reviewers to be the experts here, but how difficult would it be to simply read a five minute primer on the theory of detergents or the theory of headphones and then go out shopping with impunity?
By the time the project is at a point where it's worth someone else selling, you should have given some thought to the license you want to use.
Of course it's not apples to apples, that's kind of my point. The parent was the one trying to compare Italy to the US.

But for the sake of argument, I don't know to what extent Italians move great distances compared to the US, but I would imagine that most people tend to want to stay stick within their culture if they can get away with it. At least their primary spoken language.

The US provides a large landmass full of pretty much the same culture, same language, etc, somewhat divided between rural vs urban or conservative vs liberal, whereas Italians wanting to speak Italian and live among mostly Italians are going to have fewer options in the EU to choose from.

And I have no idea where the centers of industry are in Europe in general or Italy in specific, so I could not venture a guess as to how far apart they are. But if someone in Italy wants to stay in Italy and work in Italy, they have to go somewhere. And the furthest they can go is about the same distance as the state of California.
I think this began earlier with the S&L scandal decades(?) earlier. Some fave saving but not much happened to the guilty parties... A sad state of affairs.

You have 30 minutes or an hour with a candidate. Why is this question the one that will tell you the most about whether they'd be a good hire?
For all the flack Java gets, it got something right on this topic imo. Take the lowest common denominator of language features (for a time), and have the solution to almost everything be code written with those very, very few constructs. Yeah, it ends up verbose as hell, but even though I haven't done Java since the early 2000s, I can look at our backend code (which is all in modern Java), and short of a few new things like annotations and lambdas, I can read it just fine.

The problem space is very, VERY well understood. The patterns have been bikeshedded to death almost 20 years ago. It's super boring, there's not many interesting left, and it's awesome because of it. Of course, software engineers hate this in general because they get way too much enjoyment out of figuring out how to save 2 lines of code for their own good ;)
You, along with very many other people, are assuming the banks were convinced by the government to do something they didn't want to do. You mustn't forget that giving loans to people you know won't be able to pay them back, and lying about their ability to do so, is an absolutely classic form of fraud. Bankers lie their asses off, make big bucks in bonuses, and their banks in the long run are fucked, or not (perhaps the taxpayer will bear the burden). The disgustingly simple explanation is that bonus money doesn't get clawed back. If these poor little bankers were getting bullied by the government into doing something against their interests, why the hell did they lie their asses off about their borrowers' financial prospects. Why wouldn't they say, 'sorry guv, you gotta look at these numbers, the black and brown folk coming to us for house loans simply aren't viable'
Though the difference between a supermarket checkout and an airplane is once you're through the checkout, you're free to leave.

You don't walk out the supermarket door and have to wait for a hundred people to load their cars and make their way out of the parking lot. Which means that getting you through the checkout faster just means more time waiting to get out of the parking lot.

The Four Rules of Brainstorming
It's a reassuring thought "at some point people won't take it anymore". But the front page of hacker news today is filled with articles about cheap food, the financial crisis, student loans and absurd housing costs.

It feels like an arms race between two groups - one trying to sound alarms about the direction we're headed (Bernie) and another that thinks Brave New World is a pretty good model to shoot for. I don't think the latter is an organized conspiracy, just that there are structural tendencies that make producing and marketing soma (literally with food and drugs, figuratively with social media) more lucrative than, say, teaching high school or nursing.

It might be better if there were an Illuminati in charge of things - they presumably would be trying to steer between the extremes of another French revolution and a descent into a 1984 world (which seems depressing even for those in charge).

Never tried Nikola, but I'm painfully aware of the problem. I think I've tried and migrated through enough SSGs at this point though that I think I can write something better.

The main problem IS the config imo. That and plugins (and their configs). Don't know if you've tried Vue's new CLI, but my idea is if I don't want to or can't abstract away the complexity without imposing limits on flexibility, the next best thing is to "visually" abstract it by making the configuration happen in a UI like Vue's CLI. This will get rid of errors because you would be able to stop the user choosing conflicting actions, and things that cannot be abstracted in a config, usually CAN be in a UI. Main one, for example, and the one I'm focusing on is routing. There's tons there that can be abstracted in a UI there. You can also add hints, links, etc in a UI. There would be no need to be looking at the docs all the time. In the future hopefully I can expand the idea further to include an editor, but I have to keep my goals reasonable or I will never finish.

As for how many features and how complex, after migrating my site so many times I feel the following should be included (because if they're third party plugins they end up un-maintained): RSS, Sitemaps, Image Resizing, and maybe Embeds

PS: I tried wordpress with a static generator plugin once, it was horrifying, never going back. Even ignoring the static generator plugin, it still did barely better than the previous SSG I'd been using. The plugins were all of wildly varying quality. In particular I was constantly fighting the one that resized my images.

What would the discussion look like, besides finger wagging and hand wringing? Is there something interesting to be said?
I don't think it is. Sure, it's not like they are 2 different languages, but it's something that all python developers will have to keep in mind when using libraries. Not to mention the headache of having both installed on many systems (what does `python` give me?), and there are still many things that don't have python3 versions still (node-gyp is the one that still bites me every day).

It's not the end of the world, and it is getting better every day, but having to spend the better part of a decade dealing with multiple "main" versions of a language is not something that I want any other languages I use repeating.

And if that means needing to lookup if the function is urlencode or url_encode, well i'm happy to pay the price.
I was pretty sure the comment was referring to going to a physical store. Doesn't actually matter much to me anymore - I now live in a country with no wal-mart and no native Amazon. I'm pretty sure one doesn't ship here and when the other does, they usually are expensive (shipping) and do not include Norway's Vat in the price.
How do you define in what order macros are applied?
Having spent some time on business applications of drones, especially imagery, I am actually quite bearish on startup application of drones.

Even if there are some locations that accept innovative experimentation with drones (e.g. Switzerland or Japan), the majority of countries (e.g. the USA with part 107) are quite restrictive. Because of severe restriction on autonomy, all large-scale applications are not legal.

Not many people are investing time and money into building new drone applications, as it's uncertain it will be legal in the near future. Without serious $ behind it, drone regulations will probably stay restrictive. If you are thinking about Amazon - I heard from multiple people that last-mile delivery is actually more feasible with ground robots.
It may make the sound, but with a bit of latency. And it won't make rubber domes not feel like garbage. Hell, not even the new "membranical" keyboards can make rubber domes not feel like garbage.
Note that you can easily do both, unconsciously. Architect systems that are fair, but behave poorly in person. As a poor attempt to illustrate: imagine someone who is not mean spirited but has anger management issues - they would not necessarily build systems that favor aggression, but they might behave like that's their preference.

Consumer economic memory is limited in both capacity and duration; it only lasts about 8-12 months. After that they start to forget how you boned them and you can easily win them back with a deal on a shitty appliance.

Everyone who boycotted Chick-Fil-A ended up eating there again (if they even remember why they stopped), nobody cares about Wells Fargo's transgressions anymore and even Equifax is slipping out of the popular consciousness. Keep the stock price afloat for 8-12 months and you can recover from anything.
this is not specific to Sweden but big part if not most if the Europe, even when amazon came their website still looks like from 90s and almost everything i checked there cost more than in local shops, so not sure why would anytime support more expensive american company

it's same with Reddit and other american websites, Americans think sites popular in US must be popular everywhere, but for instance Reddit it's pretty much unknown website in Europe and it hardly make it into top 50 or even top 100 sites in most if European countries

google maps are also many times if not almost always worse than OSM by my experience in Asia and Europe
Yeah I know, but my point was that the market plus money is the indivisible unit of capitalism. You can take any other aspect away and it will still be capitalism. Unless you think some other fundamental characteristic is also required? I'm open to that idea. Private ownership of the means of production isn't really one because that existed during early market economies too.
My understanding is that it is possible, but involves a lot of bureaucratic red tape. (https://www.factcheck.org/wp-content/cache/wp-rocket/www.fac...)

I imagine that in some locales, the political climate is such that what Thriptic is saying is quite the reality -- it is much too risky.

That being said, with acceptance of cannabis legality growing, there does seem to be a shift where more formal organizations are involved in research, like the CMCR (https://www.cmcr.ucsd.edu/) mentioned in the Factcheck article. CMCR is located in the University of California in San Diego -- it is not surprising to find out that a formal research base is in a state more politically and legally friendly to cannabis.
You think your interests overlap. They have been carefully presented this way to extract maximum value from you over the long term.
You can only relicense it if you're the sole copyright owner. Otherwise you have to get approval from every single person who's ever contributed non-trivial changes to the project.

But the reverse isn't true; permissive licenses like 3-clause BSD are compatible with GPL, so if you default to a permissive GPL-compatible license, you can relicense under the GPL later if desired without having to get approval from all copyright owners (I'm assuming this is true of AGPL as well but I haven't investigated that particular point). Of course, someone else can fork it at that point and continue maintaining their fork under BSD, which is why you should think about the appropriate license to use before the project gets to a point where having the correct license is important.

> What is your argument for "absolutely not" doing that and defaulting to 3-clause BSD when an author doesn't care about licensing?

Copyleft licenses are actually fairly dangerous to developers. You have to basically treat any copyleft-licensed code as radioactive and keep it from tainting any other code on your computer. If you're the sole copyright owner it's not a big deal as you can relicense it, but once other people have contributed to the project, it becomes a problem.

And on a related note, many developers (such as myself) are reluctant to contribute to GPL-licensed projects, and so using a permissive license is more likely to attract contributions.
Really, I think the argument is weaker on the other side; I mean, there are a fair number of revolutions that were lead by the elites; the American revolution and the ACW to name two; I mean, the latter a lot more than the former, but even in the former, a whole lot of the leaders were rich enough that they didn't need to work more than they wanted to; most of them literally and legally owned other human beings, a level of wealth that is impossible today.

(but now it could be said that I'm changing the definition of elite to mean someone who has so much capital that they don't need to work. Still, I think that in both those wars, some of the leaders were also some of the richest people around. I'm also using a right-ish definition of revolution, especially in calling the ACW a revolution and not a reaction. I personally feel that 'reaction' might be reasonably applied to the ACW, at least, just because it was a clear attempt to roll back what would be called, really then and now, progress.)

I came to the point that I am actively avoiding Amazon for any purchase.

It happened multiple times that they give better price to someone coming to Amazon from the search engine in incognito window than to their logged in Prime member searching for a product directly on Amazon.

Now I always use günstiger.de or idealo.de or some other meta search engine to find what I need, as well as many other people. The same way internet search engines killed big portals back in the time, Amazon is going to be killed by specialized search engines, though it may take a while.
In my opinion that changed with the fire phone debacle. Arguably that was Jeffs baby, when it tanked (as far as I know) most of the developer team left. And the apparently told Jeff that some stuff he wanted in the phone was bad idea.

So, that would go against thr leadership principles of vocally self-critical and earn trust. Not that it harmed stock performance, but it changed something, somehow. Not sure what, so.

It's probably getting downvoted because they're trying to evoke an emotional reaction by comparing forced labor as part of a prison sentence with literally keeping people as your personal property.

Interesting idea. Some feedback:

- I'm getting a lot of "colliding" of the sound, resulting in a really awful sound, when I type quite quickly
- It works for mod keys, but not if I repeat the second key, e.g. Cmd+Tab then with Cmd held down, hitting Tab repeatedly.
- When a key comes back up very quickly after traveling down, the sound is a bit odd; it should probably "cancel" or smooth out the up sound
- as others have said, for something this trivial, it requires a lot of extra system privileges, would be cool to trial this first before requiring this (web version of video)

Personally, after the novelty wears off, it's not something I'd keep installed. But, beat tool, best of luck :)

But why would you pay $5270 for the priveledge of owning the house, rather than renting it for $4500? Also keeping in mind, that number is only PI (principal + interest). You still have all the nice incidentals of ownership like insurance, property taxes, and maintenance that are included in that $4500 rental.

I used to smoke a lot when I was younger (16 to 22), then quit. Now I am 36 and have started smoking again, this time using a vaporiser which is more gentle to the throat and supposedly less harmful to your lungs. I find cannabis to be quite safe. It's true that it makes some people feel nervous or paranoid, but from my experience these symptoms are probably the result of some sort of autosuggestion rather than caused by the drug itself. Usually I smoke at home when I'm alone, maybe 3 or 4 times a month, and I mostly just talk to myself, trying to be honest and to speak my mind. I reflect on my life, make plans, think of things I'd like to say to certain people. Psychologically I think it's highly beneficial, and I have fun as well. Then again, this is how I use it, other people use it differently, so I'm not trying to be categorical here.
