I have had a strong hand in the technical interview design at my company. Push back on 45 minutes. I've put a line in the sand that we at least an hour for code and an hour for design, and we schedule those next to each other if we need to give more time to code.

For code, the key is to find a recent problem your team's have recently had to actually solve. Distill it down. As a interview question designer, give yourself 1/4 to 1/3 the coding interview time and see how far you get implementing the solution. That is the bar: don't expect a candidate to be able to get further than that in the whole time block. You also want to budget time to talk about productionizing the code (metrics, logging, monitoring, etc).

I had a question that I wanted to give and required a couple passing unit tests. After applying the 1/3 time rule, I realized that my question was unfair and I had to alter what I started with.
It's the norm in Europe. I was taking a jab at you guys implicit understanding that university cost a lot, it doesn't in half of the western world.
I guess the point is that they need different words for this two-tier system. If they currently use "visa" to mean the kind where you have to show up for an interview and have something glued into your passport, then saying this is not-a-visa makes some sense.
Why not? the US has the death penalty, I wouldn't support the death penalty for an American in Europe. I'm not entitled to free medical care in the US, I would have no problem with an American using my health service, if needed.

If it is just a tit for tat, that just makes everyone worse off. The supposed stated aims (security) seem suspect between 2 blocs that really should be able to work together.
Tit for tat is, as far as I know, very common in diplomatic relationships between countries.

The EU wants it's citenzens treated the same, the way you phrased it already accepts that it's the case for the US. The equivalent would be more:

"If travelers from any state of the US are overstaying in the EU, I would expect travelers from that US State to need a visa."

Would you still appreciate that? (This is a genuine question not hyperbole.)
Why would he even ask "can we tell people?" Is keeping the programming languages your company uses a secret something people assume by default?

One of his slides shows a ”case study” that compares the citation number of a named female member of the selection comitte (there are of course several more members), the citation number of the named female that got the position, and the citation number of Strumia himself.

Underneath this table he wrote ”the opressive ambient started to open”...
I might be reading this wrong, but I believe this isn't about movement between EU members, but rather the requirements for states outside of the European union.

As an EU citizen you won't have any restrictions, but the rest of the world, including the UK, will have to get these e-visas.

The other part only pertains to the USA, where they make certain EU members get a visa and the EU is arguing that the EU should as a whole treat the USA in the same manner, give them visas.

So I don't believe this stated they would put up extra barriers between EU nations, only external nations.
This is nice sounding, but many modern web-pages use extensive client-side rendering. Sure, you can work around that without needing a full JS environment, but doing so is ad-hoc and you wind up having to write complex code on a per-site basis.

I do a bunch of web-scraping for hobby shit, and I've love to be able to not have to shell out to chromium for some sites, but unfortunately the modern web basically means you're stuck with it.
Due to the nature of the Schengen area and the greater independence of an EU member state compared to a US state, there's no real way to track whether a US citizen overstays more in some parts of the Schengen area than others. And I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) that at least some of the EU member states in question are on track to join Schengen before the time ETIAS launches in 2021.
People keep saying that but I don’t buy it. For example, “to do something on autopilot” is a common idiom meaning that you did something reflexively without thinking, often with bad results.
Except the board deliberating and passing judgement had a victim of the hacking on it, and chose to completely ignore the fact that this student was in class with mamy witnesses when some of the hacking events occured according to the logs.

This is pretty normal for K-20 committees though, they operate as extrajudicial kangaroo courts that can easily acrew students out of their education and labor.
I actually saw a YouTube video about this the other day. Apparently rats are running rampant around several California cities due to the amount of garbage and feces that are littering the streets.

I turned to my wife and said that this is how the new bubonic plague is going to start. Low and behold the video then cuts to talking about the medieval diseases mentioned in this article.

As far as I can tell, we don’t have any issues like this in Atlanta. What makes California towns so special? Is it the weather? The policies?

Whatever it is, it’s another reason I don’t want to live there.

The cost equation for AirBnB and robo-Uber--when used in the sense of renting out personal property as a side hustle--are different though.

If you're away for the weekend or a business trip, there's very little $$ cost associated with renting out your condo for the weekend (ignoring the risk of a bad renter). It's arguably (almost) free money, again, depending on how you quantify the risk.

The cost of a car, on the other hand, is mostly related to how many miles it's driven, not over how many years it's driven. There are some time-based costs (taxes, insurance mostly, rust in snow states, having older tech) but it's mostly distance.
It may be because, outside of a few domains, we just accept software failing all the time, and hence do little testing of it.
I think the implication was that there is less testing needed from the software side.

That said, I suspect it is also a bit misleading. If you are relying on functionality of the hardware for esoteric things, you test them heavily.
Canadian eTA only applies to arrival by plane.
posteo.de is great. Here's a good chart [1] comparing various providers with respect to privacy and other important factors. In my case, I went with Posteo because they offer the nice combination of anonymous payment method, located in Germany (so not as bad for my metadata as, say, five-eyes countries), and offering POP3/IMAP, so you can use your own client and have a local copy of my mail without any weird bridge software.

Eh, they're written by real humans, trying their best to write something that an audience will enjoy, same as most "pulp" (ie commercial) fiction, same as much SF (much commercial SF is pretty bad of course).

I find the romance sub-genres delightful; not so much to read them (although maybe I should), but just that they exist makes me smile and appreciative of humanity.

I think that romance gets so little respect even from people who appreciate other "pulp" genres like SF or horror, has a lot to do with assumptions about genders of readers. SF has a very "unsavory" past too, but has been "recuperated" somehow. Romance stuff is just books too. I like books, and I'm glad that people still read them!
> If US travelers are overstaying in any particular EU countries, I would expect and appreciate the same measures would be put in place.

You mean US citizens from particular states? Because that's what the equivalent would be.

I’m willing to accept visas to the US if it means some other EU countries get the chance of not needing visas to the US any more. Anything that strengthens EU unity is positive in my book.
It seems that your argument directly supports the headline claim.

How about European low-income people?
Low-income people work mostly in retail, transports and logistics, cleaning, construction, and physical jobs. They can't work from home.

The iconic shape and design of the 911 is dictated by its engine placement. I feel with an electric drivetrain, a new design would be needed. A design copy of the 911 would be lazy and regressive. The abilities and packaging of electrics are amazing. Too amazing to sacrifice for looks. And I say that still perfering petrol cars.

- It handles resources loaded through JavaScript, including HTML5 History API changes.
The tale of The Emperor's New Clothes [1] would be appropriate.

In society in general we've decided to take as an assumption that everybody is identically capable in everything and thus that any and all differences must then be attributable to some form of discrimination, bias, or prejudice. And this is something that is pleasant to believe in large part because not believing it has led to dystopic outcomes in the past, including but not limited to government driven eugenics. So it's something that we want to believe. And also stating you do not believe it is a great way to have people judge you for some secret ist of some sort or another.

At the same time this view is contradicted by reality. In times past this reality would have been mostly just empirical, but in modern times we also have genetic and other factors strongly contradicting any notion of inherent equality. So what to do? In my opinion the most important thing here is to ensure as much equality of opportunity as reasonably possible. And this is an effort that should never relent. However, at the same time, it also has to be acknowledged that the lack of equality of result does not inherently mean there's a problem. Ultimately it's the typical problem. Trying to create utopia is often a great path to dystopia. Enforced equality of result for all is rather a key point in Brave New World.

Of course this does not mean that discrimination does not exist. But the standard for assumption of such needs to start growing beyond wild induction from dubious toy experiments, or from works that start with absolute equality as an assumption.

Most countries with free healthcare systems like you describe don't officially give that benefit to visitors from the US or other countries, with certain common exceptions like travel within the EU/EEA and people with some form of long-term residence permission like a work permit.

They will of course allow anyone to access the system. And often they don't charge because they don't want to deal with the paperwork. But they're even more often officially supposed to charge.

My (American) father once needed emergency healthcare in France. He eventually received a bill from the French government in the mail back in the US. It was way cheaper than in the US, certainly, but it was not a zero balance due either. (And yes he paid.)
He was not rehired because he so publicly demonstrated he is not suitable for working together with others: in his famous talk he explicitly named and then insulted collegues because the took part in a hiring that didn’t give him the job.

A big international organisation with collaboration as a core goal is simply not a good fit for a well known asshole.

Germany has immense social costs for migrants, I don't think this is sustainable. There are also many 'single cases' of unwanted consequences (especially for women). Insofar I agree and think this retaliation is not where the action needs to be (also I'm not aware of a high number of Americans causing issues in Europe). Tit for tat is weak.
He would he a moron to say anything about pricing after his fraud case kicked off. All it would do is dig him into a deeper hole.

The prosecutor picked the fight because they knew he was viewed as such an asshole that there was no way anyone would think any differently of him. It's the reason he's in jail for seven years despite making profits for those he defrauded (remember that sentencing in these cases is often dependent on damages) and Elizabeth Holmes isn't.

If people from Hawaii were overstaying in Japan, the US wouldn't be fine with Japan requiring visas for residents of Hawaii.

Part of the purpose of the EU is to present a united front when dealing with other countries. Collective bargaining doesn't work if you don't act collectively.

>If US travelers are overstaying in any particular EU countries.

The only way to do this would be to require Visas to the whole EU because of the lack of internal border controls (for most of the EU).

Howard Schultz’s first big gamble outside Starbucks failed, & failed Seattle
(author of ripgrep here)

Well at least one reason is because ripgrep is faster. On simple literal queries they'll have comparable speed, but beyond that, `git grep` is _a lot_ slower. Here's an example on a checkout of the Linux kernel:

$ time rg '\w+_PM_RESUME' | wc -l
8

real 0.127
user 0.689
sys 0.589
maxmem 19 MB
faults 0

$ time LC_ALL=C git grep -E '\w+_PM_RESUME' | wc -l
8

real 4.607
user 28.059
sys 0.442
maxmem 63 MB
faults 0

$ time LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 git grep -E '\w+_PM_RESUME' | wc -l
8

real 21.651
user 2:09.54
sys 0.413
maxmem 64 MB
faults 0

ripgrep supports Unicode by default, so it's actually comparable to the LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 variant.

There are other reasons. It is nice to use a single tool for searching in all circumstances. ripgrep can fit that role. Maybe you don't know, but ripgrep respects your .gitignore file.
> By 2020, gas-powered leaf blowers, lawn mowers, and similar equipment [in California] could produce more ozone pollution than all the millions of cars in California combined. Two-stroke engines are that dirty. Cars have become that clean.

After using a lightweight electric mower, I can't imagine going back. I would be 100% on board with the electrification of most small engines, as soon as gains in efficiency and power make that viable.
I haven't isolated them. They have the bullhorn.
It is relevant to a very large number of people, and that is why it is reflected in the price of the equipment. A very well known engineer, who has not ever peddle snake oil, Nelson Pass, sells his rather primitive audio equipment at high prices. Jusdging

You seem to be highly inexperienced in the subject, THD, IMD etc are parameters that are measured on highly artificial signals - singke sine waves or mix of small numbers of sine waves. Real music signals more resemble white noise than clean sine waves, and there might be hundreds of different very subtle modes of distortion, that are very difficult to measure but which have very significant influence on the precepted quality of the sound.
I've been coding C++ for 15 years and I've never seen a use-after-free in the wild. (I've seen lots of other bugs and security problems, but not use-after-free.)

Use-after-free is a C thing, not a C++ thing. Granted, C++ makes is super easy to code in C, but that's an organization problem that is already solved in any sane project.
In my case I can't do the pagination automatically so I have to fetch the pages myself to then have them replayed.

In most cases you would capture the request and change the "page=" parameter (either for an HTML page or an API).

You could also use selenium to click on each "next page". Could be parallelized with multiple tabs / windows.

The only website that blocks me is Bloomberg because they detect mitmproxy (I didn't care enough to make mitmproxy harder to detect).

Another detail is that regular Chrome doesn't let you load insecure certificates while chromedriver allows that.

Anyway, I will write about all that, I already posted some code on my Twitter: https://twitter.com/localhostdotdev (that I will turn into a blog).
I agree. I was simply pointing out that "unless some roads are more susceptible to accidents than others" certainly happens, very frequently.

But I too am hopeful that machines are better than human drivers in all scenarios.

As the top post explains, EU citizens already need a ESTA "thing" (some on here call it visa some don't). For some reason the article ignore the US ESTA entirely and calls the EU ESTIA a visa. So the US is already imposing identical restrictions and then some more for citizens of done specific EU countries.
Ah, but then you open the door to more complex and meaningful classification. For example "insect camouflaged as a stick" or the classic "couch with leopard print pattern".

I think usually the argument for Spark and the like proceeds by just making the dataset bigger until whatever you’re comparing becomes absurd (e.g. command line vs Spark). It was the same deal in the map reduce days. Works like shit for 99% of datasets but it’s the best thing ever when there are no other alternatives :)

Can you name a conservative policy similar to the sexist policies of favoring women in education while they dominate college and high school graduation rates, or that matches the unconstitutional racial quota system in the 90s and still illegally carried on by Harvard?

I can’t.

Nor was I alleging what you seem to think — I was alleging that the Democrats through those alliances carried out systematically bigoted policies, not merely advocated for them. There doesn’t seem to be a modern right wing equivalent to those acts of systematic bigotry from leftists, but I suspect that leftists frequently talk about right wing bigotry as a cover for their own.

By having a popular myth of right wing racism or sexism, they provide social cover for their intentional bigotry.

However, whatever talk there might be on the right wing, the intentionally sexist or racist policies actually passed into legislation seem to be left wing.
are you ok with EU imposing visas for some US states and not for others?
As the post I was answering to just talked about converting the asterioid to sand, I assumed, that all of it would hit the atmosphere. But indeed, if in this way part of the asteroid misses the earth entirely, it would be a win.
I was also a bit simplifiying/exaggerating. When talking about heating up the atmosphere, the consequences entirely depend on how high the thermal impact is going to be. If spread far enough, there could be a "global warming" which is below the limit for an instant disaster. (And when caused by a single event, would decay quickly)
I (as a eu citizen) think calling esta, eta, etias and the like "visa-free travel" is wrong and implementing it as a replacement for actual visa freedom is a step in the wrong direction.

Having it as an intermediate step is great, though.
So, given that the ETIAS was only for 5 countries of the EU and the EU has reciprocated by enacting a union wide measure that, essentially requires the same thing (in school yard fashion); are we now going to "push back" and require an ESTA for all countries in the EU?
Sorry, checking it out.
But I am so happy you can use the power of the state to prohibit outraged plebs from going after you, after you moved their jobs overseas.
It's basically a way to move money from one person to another, what's being transferred is money in lieu of art sale, art itself doesn't matter.

Imagine, if you are a Mafia boss and you want 20M from businessman and you want to use this money for legitimate purpose like buying a real estate property or buying a business.

What you do is, get some art and sell it an auction where your benefactor businessman is ready to bid, and that way money is transferred to your Mafia friend and it's all clean money at the end!
My question, how many of those companies funded by YC have been caught doing things we don't like, such as dark patterns, data collection, and more? I can already think of two companies off the top of my head. It's pretty much a given fact on this planet you don't get huge valuations and money unless you're about to violate someone's privacy and sanctity.

"Speaking of San Francisco, we are considering moving YC to the city and are currently looking for space. The center of gravity for new startups has clearly shifted over the past five years, and although we love our space in Mountain View, we are rethinking whether the logistical tradeoff is worth it, especially given how difficult the commute has become. We also want to be closer to our Bay Area alumni, who disproportionately live and work in San Francisco."

Telecommuting works just fine for me when it comes to designing, prototyping, and testing actual physical products with companies around the world, from LEDs to solar panels to remotely-controlled hydroponics facilities - why can't you do the same with your primarily software and speaking stuff?
The situation is similar for ESTA and travel to the United States. ESTA is required for travel by plane and ship, but not over land. If you are planning to apply for admission to the US under the visa waiver program at a crossing of the land borders with Canada or Mexico, you don’t need ESTA.

(There are a few ferries between British Columbia and Washington state that are also treated as a land border.)
Until then raising the minimum salary sounds like it will do significantly more good than harm.
