> I think this helps us hire mostly kids who are book smart but aren't necessarily great (or even "good") employees... I'll do some hand waving here and define good as some combination of being driven and motivated, being able to work independently, and actually caring about what they're doing.

Absolutely. I'm at FAANG, been here almost a decade. I've met many fellow engineers who lack basic problem solving skills, curiosity to learn more about the environment they're developing in (e.g. Linux), and diligence to do a good job. School doesn't teach you those things, nor does conventional whiteboard interviewing select for these qualities.

I spent way too much time/energy on my last team covering for other people who were more senior than me.

It's normal for the nostrils to suck in somewhat when inhaling....right? If not maybe I should see an ENT or try those strips.

I do find myself yawning a lot, when it feels like I haven't had enough air. However, I've never had any trouble sprinting or doing athletic activity.
Now.

seriously. I think we have to treat it as legacy code now.
Can you link to any supporting research on this?

I'm not sure it's true, at least not generally.
All the things that you list about Windows apps are deficiencies of the modern era of UX design. UX apps of Win98 era were much more consistent, and especially the rule that all commands and shortcuts must be in the main menu was usually adhered to, at least by apps that respected the official platform design guidelines.

The idea of a drop-down main menu with all commands comes from CUA:

And from the government they should get exactly what they signed a contract for. Nothing more or less.
What an interview. The whole time, there's this strong subtext that Amazon is the primary vector here, but they never come out and say it -- and dance around the issue of what corrective legislation would actually look like -- because they're evidently afraid of getting on its shit list, despite the massive harm its negligence is enabling.
just remember that credit karma makes all it's money from selling you credit cards... so by using them to fill out your taxes you give them all the info on your income info to further "personalize" these ads
I had one at 40, just six months ago, and waited over 12 hours to go to the doctor for the same reason as the author (didn’t want to mess with the things my wife and kids had to do that day). I even drove my daughter to school while having the attack, which is both scary and stupid when you really think about it. Of course, denial had a lot to do too. Even though I woke up at 4 from the pain, I spent all day thinking it must have been something else.
The only point of my comment is that if this ever happens to you, don’t delay going to the doctor. I guess my behavior that day is an example of normalcy bias? I don’t know...
This. I don't use anything but Anaconda these days. I leave the system Python alone.
Live Stream: Total Lunar Eclipse
Times do change, but it doesn't mean you need to know every single detailed implementation. If the standard practice was plain text, and then became hash...the architect dictates that passwords needs to be hashed. They don't necessarily need to know how to code it.

In my company my 'enterprise architect' oversees at least 40 applications in my space in various languages and platforms (and he works in other spaces too so I can't give an exact number). I need him to give a good direction on what apps are needed, how apps talk to each other and certain detailed design. He also pitches to management and the business to defend how/why we do certain things.

Last thing he would be required to do is remember to write basic code (though I would hope he can do a swag).
Your comment reminded me of this study.

So it's not a bonus, it's a loaded roll of the dice?

I think there is merit in having immediate vesting in the case of no-fault dismissal. It's the company choosing to terminate the contract unliaterally, the employee has fulfilled his part of the deal.
Can you explain me a bit more. I would definitely try to correct the mistake which we did.

Most software architects aren't working at a level of abstraction that's as much higher as that. They're making decisions like "we should use this framework" or "we ought to have 3 9s of reliability", which can't be meaningfully analyzed without knowing the details of how the coding will be done.
No clue and it's entirely possible diagnostics have improved in some ways, in part due to improvements in testing and in part due to patients being better educated.

But I'm old-ish and I remember when it was pretty normal for Mom to show up with all three kids and a couple of their cousins and get them all treated at the same time. In contrast, in recent years, I routinely hear that people in the family pass the same crud around repeatedly because they get treated as individuals and it leads to recurrent or chronic issues. I've also dealt enough with chronic health stuff that I'm quite confident that when doctors decide "This is your normal. Just get used to it." it becomes self-fulfilling prophecy.

From what I gather, obesity and chronic health issues are vastly more common than they used to be. To my mind, that's probably evidence that something has gone very wrong with our health mental models/practices overall and the change in how we interact with physicians is probably just one grain of sand in a beach of changes. (However, it will also be confounded by medical advances leading to people malingering when, historically, they would have simply died. We often can't cure them, but we can keep them alive longer than we used to.)

But I'm sure that's a case of "Other people won't necessarily see what I see and if they don't, there will be no winning them over." (shrug)

That must be one of the bigger stations like Châtelet. There are endless hallways and tunnels to hide in. A simpler 1-train station will have 2-4 exits and they will certainly put you out.
I hurt my back on a not so heavy deadlift. Had done them for two years prior, learned how to do them, etc

But all it took was one day where I was probably too tired/stressed. It wasn't a serious injury, but that spot in my back is still tight and I haven't really been able to unlock it despite physio, massage etc

May have had pre-existing tension which made it more likely. Dunno. But injury can happen more easily than you think.

(Though jogging is still more injury prone, I think. I'm just saying: treat the lifts with caution.)
Quite the opposite, I want it to be flexible and pluggable for other use cases other than the most simple. I've gotten a lot of benefit from adding custom features.

Alt+F4 is a shortcut that closes the current top-level window.

Ctrl+F4 is a shortcut that closes the current child window/tab. For apps with tabs, this was often duplicated as Ctrl+W.

There's no standard shortcut for exit. I believe that this is deliberate, to avoid people hitting it accidentally. However, the accelerator keys to do it via the File menu are always Alt+F ("File") -> X ("eXit").

These are all platform UX guidelines, or at least they were back in the day. Of course, apps can and did ignore them, but that was also possible on macOS.
Also common in many high volume kitchens!

> it doesn't show any results until it's searched everything, so the top result never changes

I don't see how that follows. If it also searches files, the top result can change if any indexed file changes, which would still break the app launching scenario.

Or is it always showing apps on top?
I disagree, almost entirely. Kubernetes solves problems that every single cloud-based software company has.

What's the alternative? We spin up VMs, templated with AMIs, provisioned with an ASG? That works fine. But we want centralized logging. We want graceful restarts. We want automated rollbacks. The list goes on. These are not Google scale desires, these are "cost of doing business" asks for any cloud company. You can start building all of this on that core architecture of AMIs, or your cloud provider's equivalent, but all you're going to do re-invent what Kubernetes does, probably worse.

Kubernetes' problem isn't that it solves problems most companies don't have. The problem is that these problems most companies have could be solved in a simpler way than Kubernetes, because most companies have the exact same problems.
I always thought it was because it was used by people who thought it made their poorly written crap seem more personal and human, when in reality all they were doing was one exceptionally low-effort action: pick the one wacky font that shipped by default with Windows. But instead of making their writing actually seem more personal or human, it just made it look cheap and unprofessional because it was equally associated with the sort of output you'd expect from any child playing with a 1990s-era Windows computer.

(The right answer is instead to embed personality and humanity into the words themselves, which is comparatively much higher effort and indeed beyond the skill of many people.)

Over time we've grown accustomed to working within pre-packaged emotional bounds (e.g. the limited set of emojis) and the meme-status of the font has long since passed so it would probably not be quite the same faux pas today as it was two decades ago.

$8 a month is for the standard definition plan, which I doubt many people have at this point. The most popular (HD) plan just went from $11 to $13.

Subscribers might add Disney+ without dropping Netflix, sure - but all those services will reach a saturation point eventually, and subscribers will eventually have to choose which services they want to drop. Netflix still brings more to the table now than many of its competitors, but it's on a long, slow downward slide that will almost certainly accelerate this year.

My assertion is: Amazon ruined shopping.

It ruined workplace ethics. It ruined Seattle. It also ruined a lot of things.

I felt happy today going to a mom and pop franchise to purchase stuff. Happier knowing that I've just started on my quest of moving away from Amazon. I make money and some regular non-tech people make money and I'm happy they do.

AmazonBasics? Find a brand outlet - or go to AliExpress. Amazon is merely an expensive broker here. I'd rather Jack Ma make that money than Jeff does.
Groceries? Go to your local offline vendor, preferable Mom and Pop.
Computers? Set up a deal with the local distributor. Tell them that you respect reasonable prices and good support and they will give you a great experience.
Books / Movies / Videos? Rent from a library.

I've been a long time Amazon shopper and for the last two years I'm consciously moving offline. I'm doing my bit and I've never felt happier.
EDIT: My comment is grossly misunderstood and I cannot delete my comment. I did not imply python 3 causes bad code, I was trying to tell a story about how "our" python 2 code is handsome and python 3 code is ugly; sorta implying python2 is not necessarily legacy code. I have absolutely no problem with python 3 and prefer it over python 2. I do not want to start a 2 vs 3 flamewar please just ignore this comment.

===

My company has >1 million line of python 2.7. About 1.5 year ago we managed to pass our test harness (about 80% line coverage) in python 3. At the moment we can't do that but we believe if we tried hard for a few weeks we can do it again too. I don't know how we define "legacy code" but I code in this codebase everyday and the code is actually very pretty and understandable. We also have a python 3 project (only a few thousand line of code) and god that code is definitely ugly as shit. Even after python2 goes unmaintained, I will still think our python3 code looks more like legacy.
> Unlike IRC, where people need to learn and adopt the particular culture of a channel, and (in extreme cases) need to supplicate before the right people to get a civil response.

All (software) IRC channels have basically the same culture. It's essentially what you mean when you say StackOverflow "naturally encourages all the good behaviour".

I have no idea what you mean by "supplicate before the right people to get a civil response". I don't think I've ever seen that. Unlike StackOverflow, you have the option to ask one person directly, but you're never obligated to.

there is someone in the comments that brings up a good point: Varoufakis hadn't recognized a currency developing and classified tf2 as a barter economy. But scrap metal/earbuds is/was effectively working as a currency.

>in that every exchange necessitates a double coincidence of wants (i.e. when Jack offers Jill some Team Fortress 2 hat in exchange for a couple of keys, the trade will go ahead if, at the same time, Jill also prefers that particular hat to her two keys).

>[...] throughout history, whenever the number of transactions (and ‘assets’) grew in number, one of those assets soon emerged as a numéraire – a basic form of money that is. Once the numéraire acquired currency, suddenly the prerequisite of some double coincidence of wants vanished and people could trade anything for the numéraire–asset which they could then use in order to buy whatever else tickled their fancy. In short, as economies grew in sophistication, they ‘monetised’ and ceased functioning on the basis of barter

>Initially, I had expected that a similar pattern would be replicated in digital economies, like Valve’s. I was expecting to find that some item or asset would emerge as currency in the context of games such as Team Fortress 2. However, a close study of our Team Fortress 2 economy revealed a more complex picture; one in which barter still prevails even though the volume of trading is skyrocketing and the sophistication of the participants’ economic behavior is progressing in leaps and bounds.

from a comment-er (brandon):

> i know that the trading system in TF2 his been in place for roughly a year now but i don’t know if i would call it a bartering system. as a player i’ve seen scrap, reclaimed, and refined metal act more as our currency more than anything. when people talk, on servers about buy or selling item the price is usually is translated into an amount of metal. like keys having a selling price of 2.66 (2 refined and 2 reclaimed worth of metal), although keys can be bought with actual money, scrap metal and the likes is not something you cannot buy in the store.

I'd like to hear Varoufakis talk more about his time at valve. I played 1000hrs+ (mostly idling) and got lucky when trading first started and got a few sam and max hats. Ended up accumulating ~3k$ for like 5 month's work lol.
Krillist.
I do. Nothing significant but I don’t avoid those at all.
This is such a common pathology it does cast doubt on the entire field of software development but I would like to note it's been pretty commonly spread and now many years old best practice to have real users in constant communication and perhaps colocated with developers.

This is a very predictable outcome when a requirements doc is tossed over the wall followed by patient waiting for the output.

Again, it happens all the time so maybe this advice isn't enough or practical or something, but there is a well recognized solution and I would wonder whether it was done in this project.

Seriously, it’s been 10 years since Python 3 came out, Python 2.x has been supporting legacy code since then.
Thanks for pointing this out. I have used Turbo Tax for the last five years or so and won't be using them anymore.

Each year either the state or federal come back to me saying I didnt pay what I fully owed them. Now with a pre-filled return from the fed I'd know.

Hopefully more TurboTax customers hear of this and boycott them as well!
It’s true we don’t have context. It’s also possible she’s lying. But, it has to be read in the context of spending billions to bail out SolarCity which Elon owned with family. It is no wonder his generosity towards himself and unfeeling layoffs for employees will cause some people to question his moral character. Which again, in the context of a tobacco company is not interesting, but for save the world Tesla it is a real story.

> "Introducing a new thing less good than what came before is a waste of our time and a distraction from the better things.... The new thing should be better. Why is that hard to process?"

Using "good" and "better" implies that there's some objective measurement against a common set of criteria, which is not necessarily the case from the standpoint of the designers, nor for those who choose to use the fonts and for what purpose. Better according to you? Sure, but I'd frame that as an opinion rather than objective fact.

Both FranzFerdiNaN and phatfish below weren't able to infer or comprehend what form of stability I was referring to. It's absolutely laughable, outright, to consider that I meant the EU or the nations that it consists of are "unstable". I don't care about the UK or EU, this is just an objective analysis of business realities.

It's the political expectations that matter. Threatening something as known as the Big Mac is begging for even worse parasitical behavior on the behalf of corporations. It's not going to encourage any investment into EU boundaries, other than what's required to siphon money out. It's the same thing as Trump disrupting trade arrangements with China. There's nothing offensive or aggressive about these observations unless the reader is defensive and has a bone to pick on their part.
You see, I do wonder about my tendency to bias due to anxiety, hypocondria etc etc

But this is part of my tone in my above messages. I've seen doctors lie. I did have swollen ankles and hands. When mentioned to them, they'd say "yes that's a cardiovascular issue" just to switch stance the minute after.

They, too, have biases.
It is. The degree to which they were doing it was the problem. I couldn’t even try to force them to stay open and they would completely seal the airway.

I’d definitely try the strips if you’re curious though. Really simple and effective.
This example didn't even come to my mind when writing the above comment. I think even run-of-the-mill applications of AI and ML such as feed "personalization" in Youtube, Twitter, and Facebook are pretty evil. They're clearly not optimizing for value for the user but for monetizability even if the user is being shown garbage content to get them addicted. I'm a deep learning researcher, and these applications make me seriously re-consider my choices and the impact I'm having in the world.
This is Musk's PR budget in action, folks.

I wouldn't expect a building architect to do a great job pouring a foundation, framing a wall, or running plumbing. But I would expect them to be able to do it, at least to a basic level.

Architects that don't understand how to do the fundamentals of implementing the designs they make tend to make unrealistic designs, that are expensive to implement and may look pretty, but function poorly for the owners and occupants.

This applies to architects of buildings, architects of software, and architects of hardware. Probably to most high level design and supervision type positions.

Edit to add: many of the best architects of buildings are able to do amazing things specifically because they've studied the fundamentals and are able to do innovative things with materials. Of course, time will tell it the innovation worked out well or not.

Do you have any medical training? There are at least two HN users commenting on this thread who do; one of them is a cardiology fellow(!). What they're saying seems to be getting drowned out by a lot of HN-style axiomatic reasoning.

Have you read much about overtreatment in cardiology? There's currently a minor scandal in the US about unnecessary cardiac procedures being performed. [cardiology overtreatment] is a good Google search term for this.

It's easy, on a message board, to say "I want the extra attention, damn the cost". That's especially true when you just read an article about a "widowmaker heart attack", so that the upside of excess attention is the only thing about the issue that's cognitively available to you. But these procedures can do harm as well as good.
