That's just a consequence of Erlang/Elixir having a small fraction of the developer mind share of Node or Python.
Sometimes there are homeless people loitering in the parking lots offering to take your empty cart to pocket the coin in them.
Any of the ones that take a 1 eur coin will take a 20c one as well. Which is good, because there are always a bunch of them in the cup holders.
And this attitude is why we are in the mess we are today.

Presumably your interest is financial. Even if you can’t see beyond your own wealth, then perhaps you can recognise that our reliance on nature — including olives — is a balance. Crass exploitation with no regard for our impact on the world is short sighted to say the least.
In the article it actually discusses this - the article states that a lot of US grocers tried to have the coin carts in the ‘80s and ‘90s but there was apparently enough of a consumer backlash to them that they took them away. So it’s more of a cultural thing it seems.

Anecdotally I think it’s not as much of a problem with Aldi today because

1. The Aldi parking lots in USA are all pretty tiny

2. People generally know what they are signing up for when they go to an Aldi

Generally I think that there would still be a backlash today if Walmart implemented coin carts, for instance. Which I really despise because as someone who worked as a cart pusher as a kid it’s unnecessarily infuriating for me to see the pure laziness of shoppers who can’t be arsed to walk 5 meters to drop their cart into the return location and instead push it onto the median next to their car.

Side note I want to take this chance to say that I absolutely love Aldi. There’s one that’s just far enough away from where I live to make it not worth the drive and the second they build one closer I will immediately do all of my grocery shopping there :)
Here in the UK I've seen cans priced at 2/3 a regular bottle - far worse value.
You can use some built-in modules:

2L bottles are just way too big unless you have multiple people drinking or a serious habit (in which case you really should just cut back). The problem is the soda goes stale so quickly once opened.

My ideal is soda fountain machines, but of course I'm not gonna have one of those in my apartment, so the next best is cans.
It would be nice if they had also went the same lengths with their clients in terms of efficiency...

The point is, a good engineer is always curious and as such has gathered a lot of knowledge about other fields. Maybe he is a unix server admin that writes iOS app on his own time just for fun? Maybe he is a data scientist that also enjoys UI design?

A bad engineer is happy that he has learned framework X and doesn't feel he needs to learn anything else.

Putting the Linux admin candidate in front of an xcode window is a quick and to find out where he stands. If he looks totally lost, he is definitely a 10x guy.

> Can people really support themselves on those, or are they forced to work multiple jobs?

The latter. The US has an army of unskilled workers that work two jobs, live on food stamps and have no health insurance.
Sucks to be them
Maybe we just need to come up with a better solution. Might be enough to not use the machines when the birds sleep, or to add a light or buzzer so the birds can get away or something. A hefty fine for killing birds would probably help to get creative solutions faster.
I second that. I use Zapier for automating processes such as:

- storing incoming invoices in Google Drive

- sending payment reminders (not entirely automated in this case; Zapier just creates a reminder to check and send a reminder by the due date; this could be completely automated, too though)

- storing contracts and project documentation coming in via email

- sending emails to leads at certain stages in the sales process

Zapier’s tools for extracting and programmatically accessing data (e.g. for storing invoices in a folder for the current month) are quite sophisticated.
> without compromising on quality

This might be true of the new American stores but is definitely not true in Northern Europe, they regularly have rotten fruit in the stands and I only once dared buying the frozen fish which led to a nasty case of diarrhea. This was back in my student days, when I realized paying 3% more for meat and vegs was worth the extra cost if you can avoid spending 2 days in bed because of a good price on salmon.

At the end of the day I can’t really blame the store personal, they where 2 people running everything, at a size that usually see 8+ for competing chains and the wage was the absolute minimum allowed by law.
Considering the birds seem to come out more or less whole (alas none too healthy), it's probably trivial to sieve the olives from the much larger bird corpses.

The lights and "buzzers" seem to be part of the problem, rather than a solution, according to the article:

This is my experience as well in Germany. Fruits and vegetables are also quite tasteless. Some common items are simply missing. I'm afraid same will happen in US once the initial hype and attention to the details wear off and ROI considerations kick in.

Guilty of that. I've seen friends who are young (14-15) and they talk about work smart not hard, 80/20 and deliberate practice to break through the plateu. Can't tell if I should find it kinda funny or just sad. Business books do ruin social life and makes you very critical of yourself

Sean Carroll's podcast Episode 37: Edward Watts on the End of the Roman Republic and Lessons for Democracy has good discussion about this (there is also transcript) https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2019/03/11/epis...

Basically there are norms and unwritten understanding, deeply understood ideas about what is not acceptable. Rulers don't push their power to full extent. Then someone comes along and starts to push them and gradually what is acceptable changes.
That was my first thought too when I read this article - why throw the baby out with the bath water by banning the machines which are seemingly pretty efficient at what they do? Some naïve thoughts here on more clever approaches that you haven’t mentioned are some sort of noise machines that deter the birds from roosting in the fields. At risk of driving the birds away, could provide a dedicated roosting place for them instead and use some sort of incentive (maybe sound again?) to get them to roost there instead of the olive fields.

There’s a lot of innovation to be had here and as you said a financial incentive would be more than enough to get the farmers to cook up these kind of schemes.
At my workplace when I ask about why some process parameters are this way it usually leads to a dead end where the people who know are long gone and those who should know don't know the essentials. Everything is kind of interconnected and errors show up months later so you can't really change anything on any machine until the machine as a whole breaks and needs to be replaced. Then you try to get it to work somehow and those parameters are then set forever.
Amex might be still dumb compared to google, but they have very rich user profiles obtained via DMPS. Infact credit rating companies have vast amounts of data which they provide to these companies for free. The data includes your credit card payment, rating, payment history, credit score, loan/debt history, current debt, pending EMIs, defaulting list and so on.

Google is still trying to figure out exactly how much you earn. DMPs like Adobe's and Oracle's know the exact number and can help companies target people basis salary.
Going to throw Monodraw on the list.
You know. They could also decide to just not do it and then everyone is worse off.
> But having 7 years of coding practice in several companies kinda does, because why else would those companies have you for so long?

Several jobs in 7 years might very well imply several companies gave that person a chance and then gave up.

I often got questions about that years ago, and it was completely reasonable, at one point I'd worked in 4 different positions in 5 years. (There were good reasons for it and I had good references so I just explained it and it was OK, but I can easily see why they asked.)
> Talk about an arbitrary condition.

I've interviewed a lot of people in Amazon and always offered choice between at least 4 editors.

If you cannot pass a coding challenge the problem is not in the editor.

Did you read the next sentence? The Windows guy that chose to use vi was hired.
#1 does not make always sense to me. Open-source authors and contributors have their work out in the open. You can see their work, the way they interact with others online. Would you reject Guido van Rossum if he can't solve your whiteboard problem? Assuming he's suited for the job, his work speaks for itself.
Folks have different sorts of needs, and those need to be addressed as well.

My ex was schizo-affective (had traits of both schizophrenia and bipolar disorder). He was on disability. His doctors did not want him living by himself. Some things were simply too stressful and he couldn't do all of it. He'd only cook instant food. He wasn't good at budgeting money. And so on. For a while after we split up, he had a social worker coming to his house for wellness checks. My friend worked a similar job for another hospital: SHe'd visit mentally ill patients and help them, sometimes shopping and whatnot.

There was no recovery for him, only meds. That's it. Only meds.

I cannot fathom how stressful it would be to have your housing and your safe space be dependent on taking your meds, especially when your meds need adjustment... and paranoia strikes up again. Every stressor simply complicates things.
If loud noises will start _before_ machines turn on vacuum, at least few minutes, then, maybe, it could help.
There are some things in Black that I don't particularly like, for example the preference for double quotes over single quotes...

But the part that drives me crazy is this...

# in:

ImportantClass.important_method(exc, limit, lookup_lines, capture_locals, extra_argument)

# out:

ImportantClass.important_method(
exc, limit, lookup_lines, capture_locals, extra_argument
)

instead of

ImportantClass.important_method(exc, limit, lookup_lines,
capture_locals, extra_argument)

which to my eyes is way more readable and understandable. I understand what in some corner cases (if the call is too long that all arguments require its own line) it may be weird, but in those cases, it is showing that you try to do something strange in the first place (too long of a method name or too many elements in the call)
Our local Publix does this for a few items we buy. The one that's currently biting us is Coke w/ Splenda. Every single sale the shelf is empty, and even sometimes when it's not on sale. And yet they never order additional amounts of it. Most other varieties are full on the shelf at all times.

Olives are sieved and separated.
Considering Romania and Spain are both in the EU, there's nothing "illegal" about "importing" them. EU citizens enjoy freedom of movement across all member states.
My father, a USA country lawyer in the 1950's, had a policy my mom made fun of. He never traveled alone with his secretary - a woman. Mom said it was only because of appearances - ha, ha.

As an IT manager in the 1990s for a large electric utility, I was well trained in then-new sexual harassment policies - which did then, and still do make sense.

But it was not until the #metoo movement, that I understood that my dad in the 1950's was simply doing the right thing because it was his good character.

I deeply respect US VP Pence for being like my dad.
> The problem here is non-formal social opportunities that aren't meetings and don't take the place of meetings. If there's solid work-related content to discuss then of course you can meet with someone and discuss it, but that's not the same as grabbing dinner with someone when you're both working late and chattering about career-related stuff.

This is not female-vs-male problem. You will get the same kind of trouble when you smoke with colleagues while there is a non-smoker in the team, or when team member has kids and cannot stay late with you, or when there is a remote coworker, or just some people on the team enjoy watching football and some not.

Yes, you do need to think when and how you discuss work related stuff. And your friendly relations with someone on the team affect team dynamic.

Generalizing it to "working with women is harder" is plain wrong.

Turns out when you chnage the words of a statement, it changes the meaning of that statement.
Then maybe you should attach the “illegal” to the employment, and not to the people.

People also aren’t “imported”. They aren’t cattle.
The article mentions this. They're loud and have bright lights. The problem is these disorient the birds, and they struggle to escape in time. Not really surprising, if someone woke me up at 3am with an industrial hoover and a foglight I would probably panic too.
> ...unless the person you are interviewing decides you are childish, immediately walks away and doesn't respond to your mail ever again,

...in that case they just proved they were childish and I'd be happy to avoid working with them.

I think you are overestimating the value of childish ex-FAANGs :-)

Both Aldi Nord and Aldi Süd also operate in the United States with 1,600 stores as of 2017.
They sieve, blow and wash any foreign bodies out.
Exactly, it sounds like this guy sees interviews as a way to feed his ego and make himself feel smarter than the candidate.

He would be a massive red flag to me as an indicator I don't want to work there.
I have a friend with that attitude. It's led him to implementing his own encryption libraries, UI libraries and so forth, and...

Well, I have to admit he's smart, but the software he writes outside of work is some of the worst I've ever used. Furthermore, I was able to crack his RSA implementation with a straightforward timing attack.

Some things shouldn't be reimplemented.

Perhaps he could have implemented them, then used something else? True, but that's a hard sell.
Uber Freight, is... Uber, not Flexport.
Not at all. If the candidate can solve fizzbuzz but fails at more difficult coding challenges you won't hire him/her.

Therefore, the fizzbuzz test is not useful and it's offensive (or at least, boring) to any good candidate.
> At what point in the past were our programs stable, robust and just worked?

DOS was rock solid, at least around the era of DR-DOS. DESQView 386 was absolutely stable too. The BBS software I ran on them in those days was a wobbly piece of shit though.

I also recall Borland's Turbo Pascal compiler and the accompanying text-mode IDE being ultra reliable.

After DOS I've used OS/2 which was also extremely stable, although suffered from limited hard- and software availability.

Mac OS X used to be rock solid too in the heydays of the Powerbooks and earlier Intel Macbooks. Every now and then there were hardware design flaws though, and now the quality of both soft- and hardware seems to have taken a tragic turn for the worse.

I worked at at supermarket when I was young. Even when people left the carts in the best possible locations, it was still way more than 5 minutes per hour that we spent out there. Sometimes 2 of us would spent 10 minutes each per hour, but more likely one of us would be our there for 20-30 minutes per hour, especially during busy times.

And that's when the cart collectors were being quick and not just out there fooling around.

In addition, if things got busy inside and we forgot to collect carts for a while, we'd run out and customers would get upset that they didn't have a cart to use. This was especially likely during rain when no customers would return carts or bring carts on their way in.
Assuming you mean the Hieber in Weil am Rhein, they really do offer a superb shopping experience, but it's vastly above the standard. I wish more supermarkets would adopt the self-scanning devices, it's perfect when buying single-digit items.
You'd think that the noise of the neighboring tree being vacuumed would be enough for the birds close by to flee, but apparently it's not? So something more deliberate is needed?
> Unless you specifically design a test to only measure something like working memory.

You can teach how to solve it to a schoolkid and it is still really hard to practice for.
People easily can be imported. I understand what you're trying to say, and having empathy for everyone is important, but it's also a easily possible to understand illegal immigration as a concept and still care about people. Illegal immigration does have negative impacts on the local population that need to be addressed, and shouldn't be ignored in an attempt to act like all forms of labor are equal.
This article and the pics of the dead birds broke my heart. :-(

I can’t understand any human not pausing to think twice and to find alternatives when faced with such horrendous death of innocent creatures. Yeah it’s cheap and efficient but it kills millions of birds. Find another way! I don’t want your fancy olives if you don’t care about what you’re doing to the birds.
What kind of species are affected?
Sure, git is just a Merkle tree of snapshots.

On the other hand, it is easy to get confused. For example, someone might add something to the index and then switch to a different branch. Now he wonders why the index looks weird. Of course the experienced dev understands that the index contains a snapshot instead of a diff.

I still believe that the index is accidental complexity and not necessary at all.

It's not illegal to work for a job without a contract. That's ridiculous.

And if it's below minimum wage then that this is a problem for that particular company. It's not illegal for people to work below the minimum wage if offered.
They are loud, approach slow, have bright lights, there are loud people talking and working around... and the birds keep sleeping and do not try to escape or avoid the area? Seems unlikely

I can't eval the problem with this data and never had heard of it before. Nor had seen any remains of birds in almazaras but my experience in this case is limited. Maybe is a true problem locally and is good to care for it... something does not fit in this narrative. Maybe the migrating birds are just too tired to escape?.

I would look for some hidden interests. The history is very strange.

In any case just put a red light in the extreme of the vacuum tube, and you'll have a cheap and pretty simple solution. Birds will avoid the tube if they can see it coming closer.
