> However, if you were interviewing with a .NET team before June 2016 even asking the question "What operating system will this run on?" would have been a sign of incompetence.

It really depends on how you're asking the question. "What OS will this run on?" is going to be perceived differently from "Are you expecting anything unusual like Mono support?".

The OP didn't actually say that this was a .NET application, but if it was the answer to either question would have been important. If the answer had been that the company expected a standard Windows environment, I don't think it's likely that the second question would be perceived negatively.

The Most Powerful Word: “Realize”
You can't gain empathy when something is temporary. Most of the stress of being poor comes of worry about how to handle long term problems / the fact that life has no point except slaving away. That cannot be replicated without genuinely taking everything away from a person.

Not necessarily true. Split peas, peanut butter, rice, oats, chocolate chips and powdered milk are awesome food, whether on the ground or on the wall. They don't freeze in winter, they don't go bad when its hot, you don't need to wash your pot with soap, you can soak them for hours so you need only cook them for a few minutes. These make for ideal characteristics when on a multi-day climb. They're also cheap so dirtbags eat that same stuff when they're not on a big climb. Saves a lot of money.

Regardless of the intended use (whether or not that intended use justifies forced updates is a different question), it is certain that app developers will be using this for more things than that.
complaining about automation sure will help, there's even a US presidential candidate polling >1% whose ideas about how the government supports its citizens were greatly inspired by - you guessed it - people losing jobs and not getting them back due to automation.

the idea that an individual can somehow strive to change capital capturing massive swathes of business and not sharing those proceeds with those they have sidelined is pretty laudable.

i appreciate your optimism but i would consider it more on the unrealistic side, especially given that truck drivers probably aren't gung ho about studying for years to get retrained given most of them don't have college degrees in the first place.
You can disagree all you want. It doesn't make you less wrong. You literally are limited by the nature of the universe and your physical body so reality is a filter. Time limits how much you can consume should you be able to bypass the physical limitations of your body. Your belief is fundamentally incongruous with the intent of free speech.

If I am forced to host your platform/speech/lewd gestures/etc. you're taking away my rights of free speech to not host your platform. No one is taking away access. What they are doing is kicking the drunk ass jerk out of the bar for harassing other people because they were warned to stop being such a dick and they continued on anyways. They can say whatever they want from someplace them own and no one is preventing access to them. They want a bar full of jerks, they can go right ahead and have no rules of decorum.

You're confusing unlimited speech with free speech. There has never been a right to access to all speech. Private conversations happen all the time and no one has a right to listen to those. So again, just because someone owns a billboard doesn't mean they are required to post your message. The courts have been pretty solid on this and it's why the baker won his case against the couple. You cannot force me to advocate for you if I don't believe in it.
Everyone's experiences are different. Many languages don't even have a centralized web presence, and many don't have code snippets on the home page. Just as you'd absolutely expect it, I would equally never expect it.

FWIW, this is not how Uber does interviews anymore. Now the process involves a technical phone screen and an onsite, with coding exercises that are meant to be completed in 30-45 minutes. I believe it's pretty on par with other tech companies in the Bay area.
I'm confused. What word do you think "app" is short for? What is the difference between "app" and "application"? Because to me they're both programs that run locally at my behest. Is an app somehow different from that?

The major case is game clients for multiplayer games where it doesn't make any sense to split your player community into older versions. Games across all platforms work this way so its nice to see a consistent UI for Android.

That's only assuming that the ladder is just that, and not a single rung. Time spent in most minimum wage jobs are hard to sell as giving you a leg up when moving into the higher professional strata.
Quants Think Like Amateurs in China’s Wild Stock Market
My employer has sometimes given out challenges that take a few hours. We just ask the candidate when they'd like to do the take-home and email it to them on that schedule. Then they have to submit their solution within the allotted time. It's a nice way to make sure the candidate knows it really only will take a couple hours, because neither side wants the candidate to spend 30 hours on a 3 hour take-home.
I got a take home assignment from a large company a few months ago, it was the whole shebang as well. Build an iOS application with full test suite, several screens, should work with their test-api, should be polished, offline/online work etc.

I estimated it to take at least 2 weeks. Sent it to a colleague and he estimated it the same. In reality you had 48 hours to turn it back in. I gave up halfway into the project.
Man Boeing sounds like such a disgusting place to work. Granted, I'm sure many, many large publicly-traded companies are like this. But the way the article lays it out these executive initiatives reminds me of mobster movies where they move in and milk an honest citizen's store for all it's worth.

That profits and executive bonuses should take precedence over the safety of human lives is horrible. I'm curious to hear more about why the unions formed, since it sounds like there was a very contentious relationship there.

> If you do think it's boring, there are a lot of industries that need programmers to solve different problems in different ways.

Dumb, overly broad question, but I gotta ask at some point - does anyone have suggestions for figuring out what industries are out there, what they're like, where one may want to try next, how one might break into them? Career navigation isn't my strong suit, as you can probably guess.
Exactly, I wouldn't call it boring. Things break in interesting new ways all the time, and you have to constantly be learning, because the pace of change is so breakneck.

It's frustrating as all hell though. Debuggers and tooling are in a pretty sad state in comparison to what I'm used to developing server-side and desktop applications, and the iteration loop for making simple changes can be pretty bad, depending on how involved your JS compilation and build pipeline is.

One of my favorite interviews was when I was posed the question: "you work for the railroad, we've just spent several months asking our customers how they feel about the service; the majority of them are unhappy, what do you do?".

I spent an enjoyable hour in front of a whiteboard working on ideas with the interviewer.
In many ways yes. For images Instead of using some NLP parser and vectorization technique you vectorize the image and then do a similar lookup
That's functionally equivalent to not knowing what it's going to do.
At our place we reserve coding tests for applicants on the more junior end of the spectrum. I've always found conversational interviews sufficient for vetting mid to senior level developers.

We do pay a good rate for the time we instruct people to spend on the coding test. We value our people and prefer starting the relationship generously and in good faith.

I haven't lived in Maine in ages, but I have fond memories of the discount book and computer software bins at Marden's. I got full boxed copies of Homeworld and Starsiege there, manuals and all, for a pittance, plus lots of weird niche stuff like Vangers.
"Quick" is inaccurate—the story had been at the top of the front page for hours. I did that because the thread was breaking into off-topic flamewars about Israel vs. Palestine and whether (lord help us) "Hacker News hates Jews". Rummaging in the big bag of tricks for a flamewar de-escalator, that was the one that came out. The intention wasn't about Israel, merely to nudge the thread back within the site guidelines. And I think it helped do that, though of course then the flames got directed at moderators for supposedly loving/hating Israel and so on.

Now that you mention it, though, there's no need to say "China's Huawei" in the title above. I've shortened it.
How much of the buybacks+dividends were companies returning extra cash they have accumulated to the shareholders?

I mean, some companies like Apple are doing the right thing by doing buybacks. Top 20 largest buybacks in Q4 2018 made 44.42% of the SP400 buybacks and they seem to have good net financial position.

Only indebted companies taking loans for buybacks+dividends is troubling.
Realistically, hydro meets your three objectives (clean, reliable, carbon-free) with way less risk of irradiating a city or proliferating nuclear fuel generation.

Advances in transmission line technology also enable hydro plants to be hundreds or even thousands of miles from power consumers. There's a project currently underway to connect a huge hydro plant in Quebec, where all the water from the Great Lakes drains to the Atlantic, to the New England market via a transmission line through Maine.

Betteridge's Law applies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge%27s_law_of_headline...
Once again I'll repeat that I'm talking about the spirit of free speech not the law. I'm encouraging everyone to take up the attitude that having information filtered by someone else is inherently bad. Users should be demanding unfiltered access to all of the content on the platform. Just like on Reddit how some subs add a mod log so you can see what they're filtering.

This is the mentality of intellectual inquisitive people and needs to be promoted as it's currently under attack.
Phrases like "our country and people first" get classified as white supremacy because they are used as dog whistles by white supremacists.
A perfectly valid point, of course.

If you want to play with the tech there is a developer kit. https://www.bingvisualsearch.com/develop
Our interviews have consisted of something similar, but never in a way that produces actual usable work. We've had candidates "add features" to code, except the code in question was in a language they don't know. So they didn't write anything. We have them tackle past PRs for bugs that have already been fixed. And we've had them do design work for systems/processes we've already built.

We're not evaluating them on whether they got the same answer as us. We care about hearing aloud their thought processes.
It makes sense when you understand that those at the top really don't view the rest of us in the same terms that they view each other. We're not accorded the same hopes, dreams, desires, needs, etc. They're special; we're not. Everything they do, morally speaking, proceeds from that premise.

The Neural Network should be capable to recognize a truck from any angle and even if parts are obstructed. I hope we will get the details public and see if it actually tagged the obstacle but ignored it or it detect it as something else like maybe a side road advertising panel
They trace the transmitters back to you. Fingerprints, other evidence at the scene, purchase records tied to serial numbers on the transmitters... there's a lot you'd have to get right to leave no way for them to find you.
"To be fair, wouldn't that suggest strong oversight might work then?"

Fair point, that might work if: 1. a public safety/citizens oversight committee does its job consistently, 2. isn't loaded with police-friendly stooges 3. and isn't gradually de-fanged over time in terms of its power.

All three things, with time, can be manipulated by any given city hall, which is often lock-step with the police force.

"...but theories need to be tested one way or another and it would provide some evidence"

Agreed. And I say let's look at how they've deployed facial recognition in China to put those theories to bed.

Using Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis to Understand User-Generated Content
Beats me why hasnt Tesla auto pilot been shut down already. If the car is on Autopilot then people will get used to it and use that time to check on mail, call a friend or simply doze off. Some of these guys will end up getting killed and 'we told you so' simply doesnt cut it.

EDIT: The accident rate is a statistic thrown by Tesla and only serves the purpose its meant to serve.
Do we have any statistics on accidents caused comparing the situation when car is on auto-pilot vs similar cars driven by similar drivers under similar conditions without autopilot ?

> "Radar is limited, as long as trailers in the US are allowed to have such high gaps to the ground."

One of these crashes involved a firetruck, which unlike a semi-trailer, does not have a large gap underneath it.

Radars are limited period. The radars used by Tesla lack the angular resolution to distinguish between a stationary object next to the road (e.g. a building or parked car) with a stationary object parked right in the middle of the road.
That's actually a really good question. The thing is, this differs wildly on where you are (or where you want to be, geographically wise). In some cities, you might see entirely different positions just because there are different companies with different needs (e.g. security analysts near big bank headquarters). I too would like a general list of popular programming-related positions though.
This is good news but sadly they don’t talk about transportation as normally they are not considered as a problem of the manufacturer.

Maritime and airplane transportation emissions not being considered in Paris agreement illustrate this problem.

Other thing is planned obsolescence. I wonder what is being made in the company to design products to last a lifetime.

I agree in this context, but not in the broader sense. Not giving clear responses to interviewees is unprofessional and shouldn't be tolerated, but "abusive" is a bit much.
You are coming from the perspective of somebody with deep knowledge of the language. For somebody that never saw it, a short code sample say a lot.

I know this because the first Rust code I've seen was that short sample. But then, I completely understand if you desire to focus the site on people with experience on Rust.
> I think there is something about human psychology that makes people commonly gravitate towards this type of thinking

Chronology and narrative are definitely natural ways that humans frame the world - one of the many instinctive faults in our cognition. Such a simple view of the “infinite now” is easily hijacked in marketing, politics, etc.
Easily. I've heard that some systems are using trilateration to reject spoofed ADS-B but am not sure how widespread that is.

The whole business model of modern capitalism seems to be to exernalize every cost and privatize every profit, so just par for the course. At least let the public pension funds eat that bubble pop and not the VCs.
I suspect the bone injuries come from the traction you get on those mats more than perceived safety. In the gravel if you put your arm out to catch a fall, it slips (and you scuff up your palms, learning not to do that next time), whereas on rubber mats it sticks and can end up taking the whole force of your fall.
I prefer a small take-home project with a follow-up meeting to go over it. The follow-up meeting to discuss the project is crucial though, as I get to asses if I think the critique of the code is reasonable and I can make more in depth comments about the project (what was good, bad, areas I might improve if I had more time, etc) not the typical thumbs up/down with no clue as to why that is typical of companies these days.
Because the accident rate is still lower than it is with humans driving.

Most people were shocked that the (expensive) device would not allow them to hear only what/who they wanted. {How could the device even what you wanted?}

Because it eats up more of your day. For me, anyway, short breaks aren't really helpful -- they just serve to derail my "flow" and cause lost time as I ramp back up afterwords. I'd much prefer working straight through and then have a larger single block of time off.
