Having a very common name is also awkward when you know many other people at your work with the same name. Getting emails accidently meant for them. Hi John this is John, etc.
I'd read previously that Lineage's DNS is hardwired into Google's DNS due to Google tying their DNS into pretty much everything.

Yes, but it's also difficult to say there is strictly a modern/classical dichotomy and which method or material would belong in which bin.

Someone could certainly do some studies comparing methods and results, but anything of that matter would be very easy to bias.

What is clear is that classical methods are being employed by artists and not scientists. Mythology and visual appeal are being used to sell things, not quantifiable facts.
I do subscribe to one or two actually.
The good news being that one of our heroes has demonstrated self awareness? Yes.
That's the total salary, not the amount that the discovery changes the salary by.
Effectively critiquing ideas without hurting feelings is a powerful skill, hard to master, and shouldn't be written off.

IME there are only 2 reliable ways to get people to do what you want: you have authority to tell them to do it, or you can convince them that it's the best course of action.

People often treat their ideas like their children - and calling someone's child "stupid", or "braindead" isn't going to make you popular with them. Good luck convincing them it's a bad idea now - it's a matter of pride, and they'll obstruct you every way they can. Is this rational? No - but it's a reality of working with people, and denying it is futile. I've done it myself in the past, without being aware of my biases, and even then I'll probably do it again in future.

If you're actually working with people (and those people's bosses) who can't be reasoned with using facts and data, presented without calling the idea names, then the rational thing to do (which, it seems, you did) is to find a different team or company. Either you're wrong or they are, and time will prove someone right.

> Who was insulted? What parts of the comment were insulting?

I read the comment and my opinion is "It's a CSS framework! How can it take over a year to make?!" and "The speed and quality of development leaves much to be desired. For example: It took them five months to merge a TTY component. We wrote a similar component in two days." might have been the insulting parts.

Those comments could be construed as calling those devs slow and incompetent. I don't know if that was your actual meaning, but it's hard for me to read it any other way - sorry :-( maybe I'm missing some context.

Sorry also if any of what I said seemed rude. It took me years of insulting people to learn this stuff, and I'm still nowhere near perfect :-), but I thought I should share - it's possible I'm wrong. I also understand if you feel differently.

P.S. I checked out Floobits and it looks super-cool. I'm looking forward to trying it out sometime.
I feel like this really depends on how the question is asked, how the interviewee is guided through the question, and the interviewer's expectations. If I was the interviewer, this would basically be a fizzbuzz question. The reason is that I'm pretty sure I'd have to basically tell the interviewee that I want a higher order function that takes in a predicate function.

If the question is simply phrased, "Group the values by odds and evens ...; and please create an appropriate abstraction" without any more details, it would explain your results. I wouldn't be able to hold it against the interviewee that they couldn't reach the proper abstraction without more context.

If I wanted to gauge an interviewee's ability with abstraction and code organization, my preference would probably be to engage in a higher level discussion, because it's difficult to construct a code test that tests this well.

None of the techniques you’ve described is either proven or applicable to this domain. Being an asshole while unpleasant is not incompatible with “getting things done” as has been shown again and again and again.

> I think the people who can “afford” to take a $4/hr internship is the same cohort that could take a free internship.

Except that there are now a bunch of restrictions on unpaid internships that have caused companies to increasingly stop having them.

And even that is still a problem for the people who could "afford" to take a $4/hr internship but not a $0/hr one. And even the ones who suffer being unpaid are still deprived of the extra $4/hr they could have had.

> The rest need enough wages to live off of.

In which case, why do they not take a different position that pays more? Unless there isn't one, but in that case their alternative is having no employment, which pays even worse than $4/hour.

I am 37 and I am not a programmer but I do read a lot about programming and related areas. Practically speaking, I don't see myself becoming a professional programmer but I still want to pursue programming just to whet my learning appetite.

But what puts me off is this 'framework' dependent programming. It is just frustrating. Your knowledge of framework just doesn't stay with me. And I really don't learn anything fundamental.
I use RSS for webcomics as well as visiting the actual websites, but a few things:

1. You miss out on the aesthetics each comic's website brings to the table

2. Sometimes you miss things like "hidden panels" or blog posts you're interested in.

3. No advertisement money going towards the artists (Not a big deal if you support them by buying merch and the comics don't need a lot of bandwidth)

I would really love to develop a reader that focused on webcomics, having both a dynamically curated section as well as all of your subscribed comics. Newspaper-like layout. Customized borders around each comic to add back some of the flair each comic's website offers. Quick links to the artist's blog/website/comic permalink. Text/image-only advertisements interleaved between comics, with 100% revenue going back to artists. Even merch advertisements which occasionally appear under an artist's comic, offering links to their storefronts.

Basically an open source Funny Papers for the web, which would offer content discovery for artists through its curated/related sections, as well as revenue from advertisements. It would update daily and could be used to follow both new and old comics serially.

I just need someone to help me build it because I'm juggling too many things to devote all of my attention to it.
One strategy is to pick a famous name to go with the surname. Look up the child's surname on Wikipedia and choose a first name from the disambiguation page, or put your surname into a search engine and pick from one of the top results. That way if the child wants their 15 minutes fame they have to actually work for it!
> We often label people who are all smiles while simultaneously extremely strict as passive agressive.

I get this label often and was wondering where was that coming from. Thanks for the insight.
Actually it's worth. Cost is different to value. Cost relates to expenses. Buying an asset is not an expense, while the ongoing maintenance and depreciation of it would be considered an expense.

"Psychopathy, sometimes considered synonymous with sociopathy, is traditionally defined as a personality disorder characterized by persistent antisocial behavior, impaired empathy and remorse, and bold, disinhibited, and egotistical traits."

Hell yeah I'll drink to that. Replace it with "should be a minimum" and you're defo talking.
"Things are great for me personally, whether that was a result of the system or my own privilege and luck, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, doesn't matter, I'm a centrist!"
Isn't that how you know something is based in science? commonality of people given the procedures to replicate, they come out with the same results consistently? so then this would mean non-scientific results. I guess they're not scientifically sound studies.

The nature of a startup is long hours and a lot of work, chaos, unpredictability and some reward (a lot more of all these than in other places). A successful startup is not immune to these.

So one dark side is looking back years later and realizing that all those long hours and reward (money) were probably not worth as much as lost relationships and time outside of work.

I don’t like the term “work life balance”, but the lack of it can immensely cause long term issues...many irreversible because there’s no time machine.

Basically, if your work is taking your attention or keeping you away for more than 8 hours a day and also adding continuous stress for a long enough time, then some other things in life have to give...those things usually cannot be replaced effectively at a later time.

Why is everyone ignoring the obvious solution.

The childs name is just the hash of the two parents names plus the birthday timestamp. This would resolve any infidelity questions.

In all seriousness I have a different strategy. Pick an "A" name. Many lists are sorted alphabetically and at the grade school level its often by first name. As trivial as it may seem, having your name appear first on a list feels like you "won". Might even be enough to give my (currently hypothetical) kids some slight advantage. Aaron and Abbey are optimal.
Well, it makes perfect sense for the most biased kind of person to talk about bias. Of course someone that holds a completely biased point of view will see anything other than their own viewpoints as biased against them. This article and the talk it is an excerpt from is best described as laughable.
I'm not sure using WindowMaker is sane at all.

WindowMaker is a completely isolated C implementation with its own GUI toolkit. It's not integrated at all with the rest of GNUStep. It only appears NeXT-like, it's a facade.

GNUStep should ulimately replace it, if this is to be some kind of NeXTSTEP replica beyond skin-deep appearances.
Yes, I get that.

What matters now is mostly appearance. And maybe vague stuff about ability to keep an edge. But back in the day, you were in deep shit if your sword shattered. Or even got notched, if that put you off the flow.
Looks like this is the quickest way for west coast tech new money to instantly purchase prestige with the east coast class.
Objective-C never had much love outside NeXT and this was even an issue for Apple, which offered Java support in the begging on parity with Objective-C while they weren't sure about the Mac OS developer's receptivity to it.

They only dropped Java after being validated that Mac developer community was fine with Objective-C.

Also lets not forget OS X could have been some evolution of BeOS and NeXT while innovative, wasn't going to last much longer alone on the workstation market.

> Being narrowly focused on one area could prevent individuals from developing knowledge in other areas that could be important to their field at a later time ... Many advances in sciences and business happen when people bring different fields together, when people see novel connections between fields ... In an increasingly interdisciplinary world, a growth mindset can potentially lead to this type of innovation, such as seeing how the arts and sciences can be fused ... If you are overly narrow and committed to one area, that could prevent you from developing interests and expertise that you need to do that bridging work

This will become increasingly important as ML/AI subsumes routine tasks within domains, freeing up humans to tackle inter-domain and multi-domain innovation.

Looking forward to more funding for inter-disciplinary research and multi-tasking neurology.

So if you own a magazine that is failing but you can sell it to a rich person for $150 million but there are no other takers above $100 million, are you suggesting this should be illegal to make $50 million?

If only Sony had not followed the fad of putting a glass back on the Z3/Z3C... I've replace the back on my wife's Z3C two times now and lo and behold, it is cracked again. The back glass is more vulnerable than the front glass which makes it all the more annoying that it is there in the first place as it serves no purpose other than to look shiny.
In the region I was born in it was customary to name your firstborn after your father or your mother, and then your second child of the same sex after one of your parents' siblings, if none applied you'd turn to uncles/aunts, and so on.
There's a small genre of boring games. The classic is "Desert Bus".[1] Penn and Teller had this made mostly as a joke. Watch the intro. The game is 8 hours of driving a bus on a straight, empty road. The bus pulls to the right, so you have to steer.

More recently, there's "Papers Please".[2] It's about carefully checking paperwork, but there is a plot.

Someone with artistic pretensions should make up this "Flight Simulator" in a coin-op case and get it into SFO's art collection. SFMOMA currently has a Oki dot-matrix printer printing out RSS news feeds as an art piece. So why not?

I was actually looking for the term sociopath.
That's still a policy failure -- poor enforcement/deterrence in that case rather than poor legislation, but still. And even to the extent that it is cultural, the policy informs the culture. If Eric Schmidt went to jail over that, would it happen again?

Thanks for the great insight, but I also have to admit it is incredibly disheartening and bleak. I truly think silicon valley is not a good place for the human psyche as a whole. Quite honestly it breeds negativity, envy, imposter syndrome, which all turn into depression.

It's cliche, but some of the happiest people are farmers, construction workers, or people who physically work on tangible things. Also, I feel people in the bay area compared to the south where I now live are perpetually unhappy and outraged. There is more to life than work. Simple and a slower life is not such a terrible thing.
In my experience things like "ban all muslims" end up being more race-based in the sense that they target any brown-ish West Asian or South Asian people. How many Sikhs have been targeted because people think they're Muslims? Regardless the point is not that explicitly religiously based or race based policies are okay, it's that refusing to staff certain positions in offices abroad or to require that employees be US citizens is not comparable to the government banning Muslims from entering the country.

With the EU parliament's recent voting in favour of requiring consent/royalties for "rich linking" (eg. previewing content without sending the user to the original site), I can see a renaissance for RSS as an accepted and practical means for federated personal news aggregation. But then for me and many others, RSS has never gone away.

While we are at it, we should also bring back Usenet/nntp (though obviously I have nothing against news aggregators with discussion boards such as hn). But long term, only a new distributed p2p web will be able to escape the ever-increasing shilling and censorship. You can start this process right now and be prepared for the future by separating content strictly from web apps and avoiding JavaScript-heavy approaches for content.
That's very possible to prove in non-english-speaking countries, where surges of foreign names (along with some very creative misspellings) usually coincided with the first run of a foreign TV drama that had a character named like that, shifted by a few years.
