Because zip codes in themselves do not get assigned based on data relevant to whether someone is likely to pay off a loan, while credit do. Base decisions on data relevant to the matter at hand, not on unrelated data.

As an example, some 'professional' sports are dominated by people of certain skin colours. Basketball is predominantly 'black', ice hockey predominantly 'white' while soccer is more representative of the population at large. If you're looking for people who have the potential to become good basketball players you might look at data on their athletic achievements, on their length and other such things. I don't think there is a need to have a dark skin to be able to play basketball at a high level even though the majority of players seem to have such. I assume scouts for the NBA, NHL and MLS don't profile people based on their skin colour but on the aforementioned things and others related to a person's ability to play the sport.

After a few interviews, the fake "aha" moments are pretty obvious.

If someone does know the solution, ask them them to teach it to you - why is that the correct solution and not some other approach?

If the problem is really an "aha"-type with a single, explicit solution then it's not a good problem to be asking in an interview.

It really is about your approach, problem-solving technique, communication, etc.

I did mention Hazlitt several times on the page. He's in my pantheon (Emerson, Chesterton, Stevenson, Hazlitt). I do have a page dedicated to Johnson http://www.adamponting.com/sayings-of-johnson/ , he's a favourite of mine who I frequently return to. I had a period of enthusiasm for the Rambler etc, but his Latinate essay style is, let's face it, awful compared with the Johnson of Boswell's Life, Mrs Thrale's book about him etc. I don't know most of his writing about poets or Shakespeare so well, I should have another look. Lamb and Addison I tried long ago, they seemed too..literary, too fictional, or style-focused. I prefer those (who tend to be on the philosophy/essays boundary) who have something to say, and just incidentally say it well.

Could you mention some particular essays that would be at the top of your list? Thanks.
People don't even conceive the difference, in Buenos Aires you can rent a great house in a great neighborhood for 800 USD per month, in San Fran you get a shared room where other 3 people live for that much -IF even that-. In SF you spend at least 5 dollars going anywhere and going back using public transport, in Buenos aires $2 is more than enough to go the the opposite side of the city and back.
So what does this mean for the people who have created bots for sneaker sites? I actually used to write code for those sneaker bots and run a slack group (before we all moved to discord), but I've never encountered oddities in the code builds for bots I used. This may be going over my head a bit but does this mean that the builders for the bot installs could contain malicious code?

Take a look at the "Most Loved" and the "Most Dreaded" databases here:

https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2018/#most-loved-d...

It's pretty clear that MSSQL is seen rather differently from DB2 and Oracle (which are #1 and #2 on the "most dreaded" list, respectively).
If you are doing financial services like insurance or banking, you might be stuck on Oracle because you need active active worldwide database replication and none of the 1st-gen NoSQLs offer global ACID transactions. As someone who's been working in databases for over a decade I've seen customers develop database evaluation strategies, but still be unable to migrate away from Oracle. That is changing with the distributed ACID transactions offered by databases like my employer FaunaDB.

fmt::print("x = {}\n", x);
// output:
// x = [1; 2; 3]

Using ‘a 3% mortality rate’ is not a very accurate way of conveying the burden of disease of a chronic condition such as crohns.

C# _targeting the .Net runtime_ is managed code. There are subsets, including Unity's new HPC#, that compile directly to assembly.

Depends. If I'm working on a team project and others are using a framework, I won't exactly tell them to stop using it. Similarly, if I'm lazy/don't want to worry about design, well Bootstrap will probably get me a nicer looking site than anything I'd be able to come up with on my own.

But if it's possible, and there's a designer willing to create designs for components, then I'll use CSS Grid and Flexbox without a pre made framework.
Re: GLD, it's an SEC regulated security. It's government regulated, just as much as the gold in Fort Knox would be regulated if your dollar bills gave you claim to it. If you trust the government to hold gold, you should by extension trust a government-regulated security to. Let's keep conspiracy theories out of this.

(2) I'm not sure where you get the idea that it's illegal to transact in gold. It's definitely legal, and it's done all the time, it's called barter. You're still going to have to recognize the transaction in US dollars and pay any capital gains associated (or deduct capital losses, if applicable). There's even some cases where bartering can allow you to defer capital gains such as a 1031 exchange (which was wrongly applied to cryptocurrencies as they're securities).

(1&3) I'm not sure you're really trying to make it work. You could easily do monthly net settlement, where you use a credit card to make all your usual payments (an interest-free loan), then at the end of the month, sell GLD shares to cover any shortfall from your salary, or buy GLD shares with the excess of your salary. If inflation is as crazy as you say, this would give you an advantage as your gold value would go up while your debt is denominated in fiat "funny-money" inflating away.

(4) The intrinsic lack of connection between bills and physical goods isn't what leads to volatility. The bulk of gold's value is just because people find it shiny, it's actual industrial or useful application is tiny in comparison. You're believing in the value of gold is the same as my believing in the value of the dollar. Yes it's been used for thousands of years, but so what? We used rocks to represent money for thousands of years on islands, but nobody's suggesting a rock-backed dollar. Backing is inefficient and unnecessary.

Each of the things you say lead to volatility (fractional reserve banking, increasing the money supply, etc) is social policy built on top of monetary policy. Rolling back Glass-Steagall causes volatility. You can just outlaw those things and achieve the exact same results without having gold backing your currency.

I have faith I can exchange my dollar for a half a loaf. You have to have faith that you can exchange your dollar for a fraction of an ounce of gold from a locker and that someone else will exchange your shiny fraction of an ounce for a half a loaf. It's one extra, unnecessary layer.

Here's a writeup from a gold-standard man like you for why inflation is a bad argument for the gold standard, and you'll find it very largely mirrors what I've been saying to you: https://www.forbes.com/sites/keithweiner/2014/03/11/inflatio...

It may not be the most pleasant or effective interview technique but just as candidates don't need to be perfect to be hired, neither are companies. It is not a red flag, not even a yellow flag. Just a minor annoyance in the recruiting process.

And while it may affect your chances of getting hired, out of arbitrary criteria, it is is at least one you can do something about relatively easily.

Yep. Unbounce is very much an old school WYIWYG editor in web app form, and its code basically reflects that.

Redis actually has a surprising number of performance issues with larger data sizes. But most people use it with small value sizes and TCP performance dominates. I could write for hours on how bad Linux TCP/IP perf is with small packets but I'll save that for another time. This is the bottleneck with the benchmarks op has done here (the value size is only 3 bytes in these benchmarks).

I wouldn't consider those entirely equivalent sets. I imagine plenty of startups probably don't fall under the criteria you would consider "real companies", or at least not in the beginning before people have a chance to mature into their roles or flunk out of them.

> the economics of ruthlessly withdrawing bounties don't make sense

The economics of something and how people try to justify it or let their own egos get in the way often don't match. I mean, I still have to kick myself sometimes because while I work at a small company, agonizing over a couple hundred dollars a month in service fee differences is not a good way to spend my time given my hourly rate and the time a more expensive option might save if it does what it says. Ingrained thinking can be hard to overcome.
Slightly to the side of the topic, but this quote here:
