Which I think is kind of OP's point, i.e. that maybe reddit is focusing its resources on the wrong issues. Afaik the website was and still is generally responsive from a networking point of view, there are some 503s here and there from time to time but nothing that could throw me away as a regular user, on the other hand the redesign (if it manages to overwrite all the present ways of getting past it, such as using old.reddit or i.reddit) will definitely turn me away as a regular user, and I say that as a really long-time user of that website.

The more general issue is that there are a lot of technical people around SV that do, well, technical stuff, because they are really, really good at what they're doing (so I'm in no way downplaying this post). The issue is that focusing only on technical stuff and ignoring how users actually use your website/product might turn those users away and you're left with a technical behemoth which has no users (see Google+ for a relatively recent example).
The border doctrine so clearly violates the Constitution, it’s absurd that we allow it to continue (especially when it’s applied to most of he population of the US due to the coasts). It has to go.

I have worked on similar kinds of problems where obscure details about sparse matrix algorithms were required. My team ended up writing a large in-house search engine and ranking framework that combined image and text search, all in Cython, using various types of bit packed indices for fast filtering and our own implementation of a series of sparse matrix algorithms sort of ripping out CSC and CSR internals for a handful of operations related to applying latent semantic indexing and some in house vision model neural networks to the sparse data in a way that was both fast and let us store hundreds of millions of documents in memory on fairly normal hardware.

I would say that tech interviews which assess this type of skill are deeply irrelevant and fail even at the very task they attempt to solve. Not to mention how arrogant it is to reduce emphasis that should be placed on straightforward communication about real work experiences as a more important measure than performance on any type of interview coding tasks.

What you say just falls flat. You don’t give any reason to think that this stuff needs to be an interview-ready skill to be tested in a time-sensitive way. It could just be picked up later when you have a project where you need it. Most engineers can quickly grok this stuff from a book or online tutorials or talking to someone else or even just writing the problem down and locking themselves in a room for a few hours to think.

Any assumption that it needs to be already in your brain cache all the time prior to an interview or every day at a job is just harmful.

At worst it’s a thin excuse for promoting a hazing style of oneupmanship as a barrier to jobs, killing diversity of thought and at best it’s misguided reward for a certain type of extreme premature optimization thinking (that carries a lot of antagonistic culture with it too).

Not sure how Elon Musk comes to the conclusion that digging one mile of a traditional tunnel costs 1 billion US$.

The Gotthard base tunnel has a track length of 35 miles and cost about 12 billion US$. It even consists of two separate tubes, each having a diameter of roughly 9 meters (much larger than the boring tunnel).

If you calculate this, a mile of one tube of the Gotthard base tunnel (with a 2.5 times diameter of the boring tunnel) cost about 200 million US$, not 1 billion as claimed.

Out of curiosity: in a few online sources, I've read the same interview, and I'm particularly interested in the following excerpt:

What does "Paperwork" exactly comprise of, in such cases?

There's a lot I don't like about Maven, but its a vastly better solution than pip. Support for dev dependencies and no need to manage virtual environments more than makes up for its complexity.
Thanks for those examples. I agree, they both seem to follow the pattern of "$product lets you solve $yourproblem", or "Thanks to $features, $product lets you solve $yourproblem".

Thanks to your comments, I'll be paying much more attention to use of the word "you" on product pages from now on :).

As for my objection - my favourite product descriptions follow the pattern of listing concrete features, and concrete problems they're meant to solve. I feel it's because I know the problems I have, I know what the features mean, and I don't trust vendors to be honest about general description. I think (I hope) this could be said about most technical people in technical fields.

The product pages for Rust and CLion essentially enumerate concrete features in prose, and that's why I like them. In CLion's case, this line didn't resonate with me:

> With CLion, you can create code that's beautiful and correct at the same time. Potential code issues are identified instantly and fixed as you type!

... but it got rescued by an attached screenshot, that effectively communicated what kind of issues they're talking about.

> [...] is more appealing to me than "CLion features a dataflow analyzer that is 47% more efficient than eclipse and can detect 153% more potential bugs [...]

Yeah, I don't like that imaginary line too, but that's because "47% better than competition", "153% better than competition" pattern-matches to me to car salesmen bullshit.
Most math is useless to 95% of the population. I can't remember the last time I used any of the teachings of my calculus heavy undergrad.
Maybe? I don't know. Whenever I notice someone using nice blurbs instead of a honest list of features and problems they solve, I immediately weigh the product down in my list.

"Race" is just how you look to other people and how that ties to your status. Its categorization is very much country dependent - Hispanic people are often not considered white in America, while no one would be making that distinction in Europe. On the contrary, Europeans often don't consider Arabs white, even though they often look white. The US and Europe have things like 'white', 'black', 'asian' but Latin Americans are much more nuanced. There are people that would be considered 'white' in Brazil and 'black' in the US. There are also things like passing [1] and so forth.

All I'm saying is, this has nothing to do with the results of a 23andme sequencing run, which would provide details about your ancestry. Race (in the US sense) correlates pretty weakly with ancestry, e.g. all the early humans for most of human history were black.

The fact that border agents can search your personal effects is totalitarian, not unlike the stasi and other authoritarian regimes. The fact that this is 'normalized' in a democracy is astonishing.

This case also highlights the massive gap between civilized rule of law and what actually happens in these interactions, the dehumanization and arbitrary intimidation is not compatible with a democratic civilized society, and this culture of enforcement and lack of accountability is akin to a police state.
That would be my default interpretation too, but I've seen this phrase used plenty of times to mean "working hard", or "enduring work drudgery" (without any relation to ethical issues you mentioned), so I'm confused about the correct meaning of this term, and every time I see it, I have to infer from context what it is that a commenter is talking about.

Article doesn't loads for me. Whatever is said, the answer is simple. REST was meant to be used by other applications in a not yet known way, and many where claiming REST is a "best practice" for API of YOUR single page application. It led to doing the same thing in a huge scope twice - selecting, modelling, and preparing for view of data, maybe even more. So we didn't use the context of the query which already shapes the data. GraphQL does. But GraphQL sucks in other way - as it adds unnecessary querying language (which already exists on the backend and it's for sure more powerful), and it makes a query on the frontend which is a security issue (which you can limit on the backend, but it's just a consequence of this mistake and still leaky).

>I kill the tab of any site that does

I believe this is one of the intended effects. For example, when you click on a link after a Google search, and then click the back button to go back to the search results, I imagine Google records this to downrank that page for that query in a small way. When you kill the tab, you forfeit this opportunity.
Why should they consider somebody's "potential"? They wanted someone who could solve that problem. He wasn't that person. It's as simple as that.

One thing about this is that it's nothing special/custom. You can use your regular GNU/Linux knowledge and the internet. It's all standard GNU/Linux userland.

There's plenty of information and tools on the internet for doing what you're after. You don't need one true way of doing this from Librem.

I don't like complexity so I have just a bunch of simple scripts for this. But it's also possible to use buildroot, crosstool-ng, Arch Linux ARM mixed system building, where you drive the build from the target device, but compile object files remotely on x86_64 using a cross-compiler, etc., etc.

All Africans are black and all Europeans are white? That's a new one.

As for medicine, while the efficacy of drugs can be ethnicity dependent, race is such a weak proxy for it that it often leads to mistakes when doctors operate by habit. Nothing trumps actual genetic screening (as opposed to "which Anglo-centric category do you fit best based on how you look").
Even FAANG companies rely on distributions and other companies to spot vulnerabilities, rebuild libraries, test and validate them.

Even if the company rebuilds everything, there's a huge benefit in knowing that you are using a well tested release instead of a less popular one or an internal fork.

I’ll be blunt, you don’t know how to use .NET core and you never learned, despite your claimed “several months” of use.

> There are no tutorials on how to add Vuejs or React to your asp.net core project.

This is a remarkable complaint to make. There are literally template starter projects for react/angular when you go to file -> new project. If you choose not to use a starter template, adding your own frontend is trivial: place the built frontend in wwwroot and have an MVC endpoint that returns index.html. I’m not sure how this could be any easier, and it makes me wonder if you ever used .NET core at all.

> Postgres is simply treated as "not important" and you are expected to use mssql. PostGres + Entity Framework Core is mostly a hack. You run into soo many issues that you'll be forced to leave Postgres and go for mssql.

This is simply false. I have used Postgres with .NET core extensively and have never been forced to fall back on SQL server. Exactly what are these serious issues?

> Only tutorials available teach basic stuff like middleware, rest api without authentication.

Are you complaining about setting up authentication? It is easy to add JWT support in startup.cs and then secure endpoints via attributes.

> You end up dealing with ugly DbContext for setting up basic models. And DbSets to enable tables for your models. All this ugly stuff is thrown in your face.

What’s ugly about it? The DbContext represents a particular database connection and a DbSet represents an entity within that database. That’s an entirely rational way to represent the data layer.

> Need image processing libaries? Good luck with that. There is simply no support.

Another remarkable complaint to make. Nothing apart from OpenCV, ImageSharp, the native System.Drawing package, and this entire list of options: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/2017/01/19/net-core-...

You should really stop making claims about .NET core that are demonstrably false.

What a weird post
The usual way these partnerships worked is that Facebook allowed partners to ask users to grant them more account access than ordinary Facebook apps were allowed - in the form of special partner-only Facebook app permissions that could only be obtained by approved apps. That is, it didn't bypass the normal need to request permission from the user, it just allowed them to request extra permissions. There's no reason to believe that the Spotify integration is any different. Even those leaked emails just talked about adding more permissions that companies could request.
