They don’t need to tip anything. It’s about consumer intent of where that tip should go if a tip is left. Consumers are being led to believe that the tip goes to the employee when actually that tip is being used to subsidize the wage that the company should have been paying.

This isn’t really different from when you tip at a restaurant and finding out the company is just stealing 50% of the tip from the employee.

> I have never met a C++ programmer who only knew C++ and couldn't easily do work in some other language

Did they try the languages I mentioned? C++-trained programmers might be able to write lowest-common-denominator code in other languages but they'll struggle to write effective, idiomatic code in languages that make significant use of pattern matching/sum types or polymorphism, or rely on extensive use of higher-order functions.

> but of course plenty of people know other languages and can't do C++.

I'd agree that C++ programmers can usually write Java/Python, Java programmers can usually write Python but not C++, and Python programmers can usually write Java but not C++. But the implication is not that C++ is more general than Java or Python but just the opposite: programming in C++ requires learning a lot of C++-specific stuff that programmers in those other languages don't bother with.

One thing ivr done since I was a kid is buy pizza sauce, toppings, and pillsbury biscuits (or equivalent generic).

You can work each biscuit into a mini pizza, top it as you see fit, and cook the lot for 8-12 mins (based on the biscuits instruction).

It was a great treat when I was a kid and I've kept it up as an adult because dangit adulting has to have some perks.

Typically whatever is seen in VR is repliacted on the monitor, so it's not true that only one person in the room can see what's going on in VR.
The reason this works is that the oncoming person thinks you have not seem them. If someone is coming directly towards you and you think you have seen them before they have seen you, it makes sense that you should move out of their way rather than wait for them to eventually notice you. Also, when you do move, you are guaranteed that they will not move in the same direction (because they would need a little extra time to spot you and perform the evasive maneuver).

I don't think this observation necessarily supports the extramission theory of vision described in the study though. You could achieve exactly the same result by looking at your feet, coving your eyes or wearing a blindfold; anyone coming towards you is still going to get out of your way.

I think these days, the only viable career is as pornstar or a pet. And for thoss you must have been born as a dog or a cat. All other Jobs seems to be in decline because of globalisation or automation.

But, of course can you still make a career in nearly everyting where there is demand, and for webdev there is demand. The question is whether your skills can match the demand. And frankly spoken, six month's is nothing, especially if it's just learning, not actual work.

The base-level of learning for solid software development is usually measured in years, and that would be 30-40h/week of real learning. But there is also the student-market where you can earn get some pocket-money for low level-work. And depening on the country you live
this can be a serious amount. There are several people from poorer countrys working remote for low money.

So when you wanna take this serious, you should really know your position, market and demand. What can you offer? With whom do you compete? And how much do you must earn to survive, to grow higher?

I’m your prototypical computer geek - started programming in the mid 80s in middle school in Basic and assembly language, got a CS degree, bit twiddled in C and C++ for over a decade, but my experience over the last decade, makes me doubt the need of most developers to need to focus on computer science.

Most developers will never need to solve “hard problems”. They will be working on yet another software as a service CRUD app or a bespoke line of business app that will never see the light of day outside of their organization.

I’ve found studying architecture, soft skills, and my business courses (before I dropped out of graduate school) to be much more helpful in my career.

A Story of Broken Heart ( with DUM DUM DIGA DIGA Mixture)
We know that there is an efficient model for delivering healthcare, which is a government provided/heavily-regulated healthcare market. We know this because dozens of industrialized nations successfully operate in this model, with dramatically lower costs than we have here in the US. An existence proof is usually the simplest kind of proof.

Some people talk about a hypothetical second workable model, which involves a massively de-regulated free market system. It's important to note that nobody has successfully deployed this model in an industrialized nation, and it's not clear if it can even be implemented in practice -- for political as well as practical reasons (unregulated medical providers tend to kill people, so voters enact regulations, and then you're on your way out of the sweet spot.)

Whatever your preferences, the important thing to keep in mind is that while both of these two points may exist, the points between them are highly suboptimal. Removing 10% or even 50% of the regulations on our current healthcare system is unlikely to produce a substantially more efficient system. It produces a new system with most of the weaknesses and entry-barriers of our current approach, but replete with massive new profit-taking opportunities and substantially worse protection for patients.

This is why two decades of political infighting in the US have failed to fix healthcare. There is literally zero chance that the working, de-regulated system is going to come into existence. There is some probability that we can get closer to regulated single-payer, since we already have Medicare and it's much more efficient than private insurance, even though politicians have restricted its bargaining power. There is an overwhelming probability that in the process of trying to deregulate the current system, you end up making everything substantially worse.

> the constant assumptions just do my head in

For whatever it's worth, I'll just share how I made my own peace with something somewhat similar. I think to myself something like "Aaaannnd, welcome yet again to the long fight against prejudice and discrimination. That I once thought <bemused head shake> I was somehow insulated from it burning me, that my participation in the fight was somehow optional, was the obliviousness of male white professional privilege. Thank you person/institution/life for the reminder. And the reminder that so many face so worse." Works for me. As frequency increases, that might need a different form.

I wonder if some occurrences might be teachable moments for some? Leaving people better than you found them.

Sometimes one can dodge prejudice with subgroup membership signalling, as people seem to do a lot of profile matching. I remember baby throw-up stains having that effect. And sometimes "unrelated" prejudices can be leveraged - when doing child care, I tended to button-downs and not T shirts, if only for potentially improving response time in an emergency, as they seem to toggle many between "how may I help you sir; yes sir" and "what'da you want bud; well, let's see". You might find professional-class signalling might alter peoples' male-threat profiling?

I expect there's how-to literature about all this. Both on coping with discrimination in its various forms, and for male primary caregivers in particular.
> When multiple branches exist on the blockchain, some consensus process has to reconcile which of them wins. That process is that miners select the longest chain.

I've been arguing that this is a design mistake, and that the following selection algorithm would be superior:

- Instead of selecting the longest chain, select the longest chain which does not alter any blocks which I, personally, consider permanent.

Robin_Message correctly identifies that this algorithm doesn't do anything for a new entrant, because a new entrant doesn't have the exposure to history that an established miner has. But I don't see why this is an issue, as to enter a particular network, you must already copy that network's existing blockchain, and this step -- which you already have to take -- will give you the same exposure to history as the miner you copy it from.

Imagine that two blockchains, ETH and ETC, diverge for political reasons. The ETH blockchain is more beloved among the people (the laity, not the miners), and for this reason a greater number of transactions occur in ETH than ETC over time. This guarantees that the ETH blockchain will be longer than the ETC blockchain. By the selection algorithm you identify, the ETC blockchain will be wiped out, because the ETH blockchain can always be re-proposed and will always dominate it. But in reality, the ETC miners will reject the ETH blockchain, because rejecting the ETH blockchain is the whole point of ETC.

> VSCode is built in Electron.

And it takes up 3GB of RAM on my 8GB machine.
First off, I like the idea. Tech interviews are so broken that I'm happy to see folks trying to make things better.

I just started clicking through this and stopped at question 7: "How many bits are in 8 bytes?"

I don't know if this is intentional or not, but this is an ambiguous question. I suspect the "right" answer is the one that assumes 8 bits in an byte, but historically that assumption is not always true, e.g. lots of IETF RFCs refer to "octets" rather than "bytes" to avoid the confusion.

I bring this up not to quibble about historical architectures, but to address another item I recall from my SAT/ACT taking days--getting into the head of the question writer. When I saw this question I thought, "Are they looking for the current/common interpretation, or do they expect me to know mostly useless trivia about the history of the definition of byte?"

Perhaps I'm overthinking it. I probably am. But for that specific question, the answer is "it depends." And based on that, there is no 100% correct answer offered, so I'm left choosing the next best answer, which is probably the one most folks would select anyway.

Was this intentional? Again, it's been a long time since I've taken these types of tests.

Many good points raised already, a few points I haven't seen raised:

* Within Web Dev, others have pointed out that there are many technologies you can work with, but there are also very many different kinds of output. Some web developers produce production code. Some web devs focus on producing early prototypes, and have some mix of UX Design and WebDev skills. Still others work for agencies where there is a heavy emphasis on delivering prototypes to pitch, but then the team will need to produce a production version of it. All of these start with a common skill set, but depending on what you want to do you might need more depth in some areas than others.

* While I think it is a great career choice, there is still some Computer Science elitism in some circles - depending on where you apply for jobs, you may get asked interview questions that have little to do about WebDev itself. This practice is obviously not helpful, but it is a reality in some places.

* Try to focus on getting an area of depth as well as sufficient breadth. You want sufficient breadth so that you can make it through most situations, but it's also really helpful in selling yourself as being an expert in a particular area.

It seems to me the US never outgrew it's frontier mentality.

Back in the 18th-19th centuries, medical care was primitive and sometimes dispensed by the barber.

For toothaches and broken limbs, you might see a dentist or a doctor, for anything life threatening you toughed it out and died at home.

We don't do that anymore of course, but it's almost as if attitudes about self sufficiency have lagged behind.

Ask HN: Who is using Kotlin for server-side applications?
While the project points to various ways to use it (https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/server-overview.html), the list of projects on that page actually using it server-side is very short (Idea and an open source project called Corda).

Is anyone here (or have you in the past) using Kotlin for the server side portion of their app? If so:

* What does your stack look like?
* What improvements/drawbacks have you experienced?
* Are you using Kotlin on the client side as well?
* If you had it to do over, would you choose Kotlin again?

Thanks very much for any feedback you can provide.

> Instead of clicking a button to swing an axe, in VR you can naturally swing that axe with your own hand.

I agree. This is exactly the sort of inconsequential activity where VR will really excel.

> Instead of dragging a mouse to draw a line, you can just move your hand.

Dragging a mouse is "just moving your hand." If you really need less friction in this case, use a touch screen. What do a VR headset and VR hand tracking gloves add?

> In many cases VR allows to skip that layer of indirection between input (keyboards/mice/joysticks) and output (screen).

I like this point, and I think it might illuminate where the fundamental disagreement is: how many of these cases are there? For most of the things I do with my computer (writing code, email, listening to music, reading articles) I am simply not convinced that there is a layer of indirection. Keyboards, graphical user interfaces, and CLIs are already well-optimized for ease and efficiency in achieving their stated goal. Introducing VR would increase friction rather than remove it.
