You ever read any of Michael Lewis' work? He's written several books now that are thematically similar but he's famous for writing an expose of Wall Street's Solomon Brothers called "Liar's Poker". It was fairly critical of Wall Street and its practices but was also filled with lurid descriptions of what the traders got up to with their new found wealth.

He was regularly contacted for years afterwards by people wondering how they too could get a high paying job on Wall Street.
Great idea, but then couldn't they replace you and what you're doing (since they won't be your employee they'll be business partners) ?

Yes we are in close contact with the Hypothes.is team and may develop some shared components in the future. We already use their anchoring library.

Internally we don't store the annotations in W3C standard yet, but will provide that as soon as we get to develop the ability to export or access annotations via an API.

How do you imagine Memex being used as a backend in your context?
Once we offer more integrations to other services, it is definitely thinkable to also make annotations from Hypothes.is searchable. Is that something along the lines you're thinking of?

Cheers!

Fair point.

For what it's worth, there are areas where you can do math-intensive stuff without a PhD.

E.g. personally after not doing anything math-y for two decades I stumbled into a job doing image processing.

There's also graphics programming, although I get the impression that can be extra toxic environment. However, https://twitter.com/sehurlburt will occasionally post links to companies that aren't toxic that are hiring people, and some of them are welcoming to people without prior knowledge of the specific domain.

This is something that has always bothered me about Linus. There are other extremely gifted programmers out there that don't seem to need to resort to this kind of persona. I always enjoyed hearing John Carmack speak because he is extremely smart and knowledgable and he doesn't look like he has a superiority complex.

But the real problem with Linus is the example he sets. I am not a kernel dev, so I don't know the validity of his rants but I assume he is mostly right. But this certainly sends a message to less-talented developers that it's okay to be a dick when you are right.

Ultimately I feel that the most important thing I have learned as a developer is to never associate your ego with your code. I've done that in the past and take great pains to not repeat it. Don't look at your PR as some great work of art that should be perfect. If both sides of the code review treat it as a collaborative process then you can both learn something from it.

> You can't because it's a bs metric like "culture fit".

I'd disagree. An indirect metric is "Can I as the technical lead [1] communicate effectively with the candidate?" If the leadership is stable, then a "yes" to this question is likely to imply "yes" to the "getting along" question. If all "subordinates" can effectively communicate with the "hub" (lead), it's not unreasonable to expect that they'd be able to get along with each other using the same mode of communication they use with the lead. That's what my intuition tells me. May be wrong though.

[1] Presumably, the technical lead takes part in the interview process.

I haven't done due diligence and checked each one, so maybe I'm been overly pessimistic, but some choice entries that I very seriously doubt don't track you: Dailymotion, Wordpress, Dropbox, Skyscanner, Here.com... I could go on. Mapbox for example definitely track you, but do provide an opt-out in their API, so some would describe that as "more" privacy friendly. Others may do similar.

This seems more like a list of alternatives to Google (which is still incredibly valuable), rather than a list of privacy-friendly alternatives.

That's still great though: I'm still happier to have some choice in who tracks me even if all alternatives do.
This might be quite UK centric and is a very dry answer but old smartphones should be donated to asylum seekers.

I remember reading an article a year or so ago about how asylum live on the welfare afforded to them and their phone bills (a necessary expense) were a huge chunk of it, basically all of them paying well more than I do on my PAYG for similar service. What I see must be the issue is that, without a phone of their own, the cheapest short term option is to sign up for an option that provides a phone.

This immediately limits them from the ultra low budget GiffGaff/Asda/etc type options and will very frequently tie them down to a much less budget friendly carrier if not straight into a contract.
The only functional change out of this whole drama is that now every project will eventually come to be run by SJWs.

Looks like the main change that the COC will introduce from previous status quo is that anyone anytime can be Brendan Eiche'd out of an open source project whereas previously the understanding was that you could accept code contribution from Alex Jones himself as long as the code contribution to project itself was reasonable.

Edit: I should add that I'm a non-white person. Shameful that adding this piece of information might bring some more credibility to my input.
Exactly. The same applies to CSS when using the functional CSS approach. It's basically: if anything changes, I need to update my Button component.
Yeah, I'm a millenial even and I know people my age who didn't have a computer with internet (at home) until they went to college. People really underestimate how insulated some rural communities are, especially impoverished ones. Most of my family still lives in appalachia, and when I visit there are a surprising number of places where you barely get phone signals from any major networks. DSL and cable internet is still unavailable at my grandparents home last I asked.

From a different angle, a good friend of mine who is now an excellent engineer was denied a computer with internet access for totally different reasons during her high school years. Her fundamentalist parents thought the internet was immoral. She couldn't even have a game console, because her parents said those were for boys.

But yeah, asking people that question basically assumes that the answerer had a degree of privilege that isn't nearly as "average" as the asker would like to believe.

IP address commonality is probably a major part of this, so using separate devices only helps if they are on different carriers and you never use wifi AND you don't allow location services or practically any other permissions.

> "Did you code for fun in high school?" might be a useful question now, because software development as a field is so young that high school students can try out significant work easily.

In a way it might be a way to weed out people who are reluctant to try something new. someone who only coded in highschool, a somewhat antisocial hobby, went through college and still only wants to code maybe didn't try anything new.
Yeah, think that's everyone's first reaction (you shouldn't mix style and markup) but with a component centered development pattern, those concerns largely become non-issues. `card-wrapper` becomes a component and you update your styles there.

I will just say theory aside, in practice, this has worked out great for our team. In my 5+ years experience, I've constantly run across the issue of legacy code with thousands of classes, referencing potentially non-existent markup and countless one-off tweaks. You can start with the best intentions and organization in your SASS files but eventually things start to get really crufty. Keeping everything in components and keeping styles in the markup alleviates a lot of that.
It’s also kind of tragic that companies stop providing software updates for older working devices, or allow open source to fill in. I can pull my PC from 20 years ago out of a closet and reasonably expect to run Linux on it, yet there is no equivalent for my 8 year old iPad.
I like your approach. To be honest, after many years of work without touching low level algorithms I partially forgot many stuff I learned at Uni, especially data structures and sorting algorithms (I remember how they work, but I cannot tell you the complexity or write the code on the fly).

But if you tell me "look I'm going to ask you this and that at the interview" I can pick up 2 wikipedia articles and refresh my memory about that topic so I will be prepared.

I've read the screen's refresh rate is 72 Hz, lower than the 90 Hz that Oculus/Valve have been pushing as a minimum for immersive VR. Did this seem like a problem, or does it feel good enough?

I know the Go already runs at 72 or 60 Hz, but without positional tracking it was never going to be particularly immersive no matter what framerate it had.

Note that Linus has to deal with a lot of random people on the mailing list while Carmack doesn't have this kind of job.

I'm not going to get too fired up about it. But... I really cringe when I read "We're trying to change the predominately white face of programming".

> is remarkably stable - until it is not

I think we're saying mostly the same thing, just with slightly different framing.

We have one mechanism for maintaining a stable store of value (centrally managed fiat) that in practice seems to work well most of the time but periodically experiences catastrophic failures. We have another mechanism for maintaining a stable store of value (crypto markets) where catastrophic failure appears to be standard operating procedure. The first is far from ideal, for all the reasons you mention and many more, but from where I'm sitting it still seems like the lesser of two evils.

Also worth noting that central banks predate fiat currency. Back when currencies were metal-backed governments would hoard or release metal to try and control the market value. That's what Fort Knox is for. It didn't work as well as in fiat-world, because there are bounds to how much metal you can actually manage to store, but it worked well enough. It'll still work well enough when the Fed has a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve that they can manipulate the market with.

> the smart contract would likely require its own level of background on any given ID

Oh, yeah, no halfway competent vendor is going to allow themselves to get scammed like this. And the technical solutions are pretty obvious. My whole point, though, is that we're almost immediately reinventing credit requirements for market participation.

-----

There are a lot of people making starry eyed predictions for exciting new developments that a crypto-based economy would allow to happen, but when you dig into the details the vast majority of those things are just as feasible under a halfway decent centrally-managed ACH system. There are also a lot of people joyously awaiting the collapse of large sectors of the financial system, but again when you dig into the details most of those sectors exist to solve problems and meet needs that are still present on a blockchain.

We've been through half a dozen currency transitions over the past few centuries. From precious metal coins to private scrip backed by precious metal to government scrip backed by precious metal to government scrip backed by fiat to paper transaction logging (checks) to electronic transaction logging (ACH), and the financial sector has not only survived but embraced the infrastructure shift every time.

Don't get me wrong, I've got my fair share of complaints about the modern financial system. But for good or ill I just don't see a fiat to crypto transition having anything close the apocalyptic effects that HN, collectively, seems to expect.
Well, I'd assume you wouldn't want a presentation on something as trivial as a linked list, and try to study up on R-trees or some such thing. And with my luck, you'd end up being the world's foremost expert on R-trees...
Well to take a step back and evaluate the question of "who needs ds" - most answers to typical problems come down to using a hash table or an array... or some trickery of both. So... I can see this question as being useful.

I am afraid that I am missing the point of why YOU chose this approach if you can't answer this question. No offense to you. It seems like you came from the approach that if people want this job they will do this thing. Seems noble and with good intentions.

But DS is much more than that. It is the basics. The definition. The building blocks. Lots of reasons why you would want to ask about it.

I've actually been asked something similar prior to working at IBM. My caveat was that this question was asked in the interview without any preparation.

However, I can see how some people would find this challenging. It may seem like a lot of work for some people. Especially if you worked with some engineers that freak out when such a task is presented. If they don't have an outline, a set criteria, the protocols, previous samples, and the such. then you will have a bad time. Such people approach problems very systematically. As long as your task is clearly defined and has such things, then it should be easier in theory.

The people who aren't phased then won't be phased. The people that may see this as challenging shouldn't also be phased. Finally, considering monetary incentives for such additional work could smooth out some issues. You could pose such things as an investment and a risk mitigation strategy to your elders.

Anywho, these are some thoughts.

Depends entirely on how good you are at faking it. That is, if it can be easily seen that you are faking; then no, it is not as good. Not even close.

Your brother scenario is silly. If someone calls and I don't want to help, but can. I'll be honest and make my own choice. If they ask if this is what I'd truly like to be doing, I'll always say no. However, in most cases, I don't actually care what I'm doing. Could I come up with something more fun? Maybe, but just being social in any way is typically its own ends.
