I can offer different perspective here: what about a task which also has some value for you? I rarely give tasks to candidates and only in cases where otherwise good candidate is not familiar with our technology stack. The task in that case is to build a proof of concept on that stack and requires fast learning and general understanding of software architecture. I always give detailed feedback on completed solutions. Even if the candidate was not selected, they still can take something from it and won’t consider it wasted time.
I was thinking the first one since the founder told me they had a frontend dev from Russia and said they're really "cheap".

I had this in mind on the final interview, but I didn't want to lowball my compensation because of the fact that the position is remote.
Airliners, yes. Airtaxis? Not sure about that. Also no idea what the requirements for helicopters is which are much closer to the Lilium jet than conventional passenger aircraft.

They've been doing this for a while in fairness, cut-by-cut:

- 240 character messages

- "Threads"

- "verified" users (that get different treatment)

All in a vain effort to take what was a beautifully simple peer-to-peer microblogging platform and create something more like snapfacestergrameddit.

And still no "edit" button.
Not really. Since those have to do with weather and safety. VTOL won't save you in IMC. For example, helicopters have this requirement too IIRC
I wonder how many of these are legally mandated...

* Chief Medical Officer - someone patients can sue
* HR - someone employees can sue
* Chief Legal Officer & Chief Compliance Officer - someone anyone can sue
* Chief Financial Officer - someone the IRS can sue

This is exactly the sort of unreasonable and irrational angry generalization that makes people call HN "the angry orange website".
The real answer is that they're not. It's just that C has a head start of having a 10MB libc already installed on your system, and Rust doesn't.

If you compile C with libc statically linked in, it'll make executables as large as Rust's. If you compile Rust for dynamic linking, it'll give you hello world as small as you get from C.

The Vatican also has a low murder rate, and probably no prisons at all. If she can’t prove 3 then she has no argument at all, 3 is where the argument would be.

Of course she needs to provision for violent criminals. They are one of the main reasons we need prisons, so if she wants to get rid of prisons she needs to have an alternative plan. She can’t just wave her hand and say they will magically disappear. Only very gullible people seduced by ideology would fall for that.

If she can’t present an alternative, why would anyone care what she says?

I would never spend 4 hours on a task after hours for a company I'm interviewing for, that is my time and I value my work life balance. It is my humble opinion that a serious interview should take max 1 hour.
This is a good write up from the point of view of a C/C++ programmer, since it gives a fair breakdown of where that extra space is going and rightly points out that statically linked C/C++ executables are going to be large as well. It's also a fun tour of how to access the syscall interface directly from Rust and to perform optimizations that most C and C++ programmers wouldn't ever perform perhaps outside of the most space constrained embedded projects.

I take a minor issue with the handwaving away (not just in this article but with others as well) of glibc and the suggestion that it can just be replaced with musl or another libc. There's a reason that glibc doesn't officially support static linking, and that is NSS, and PAM.

If all you need is a static executable for your Docker container or whatever that reads user/group information and authenticates out of flat files in /etc, then go for it. But in the "enterprise" space things like LDAP, Active Directory, 2FA etc. are real, and if your application needs to support those, then you're going to need glibc and its dependency on dlopen() and friends.

And this goes for every language which has a dependency on your chosen libc as well (which let's face it, is a large majority at least in the Linux world), if you want to use NSS and PAM modules.
Interesting example. That's what I would call quite good design. Bear with me.

Yes, it does look overwhelming on first impression. But that's just a first impression. Look at it more closely.

What this software implements is a multi-step pipe, where each step is configurable. Every UI element you see represents a useful feature in minimal way. They're all, arguably, essential complexity of the task. The steps are both ordered spatially and explicitly numbered. They can be configured both by mouse and by keyboard. You have an interactive live preview at the top, telling you what the current configuration will change and how. Most important here, however, is that you always see the entire configuration. There are no hidden dialogs, no steps or tabs - what you see on the screen is what's going to be done to the data.

Is it pretty? Not really, though I'd say they've done a good job given the constraints of native Windows UI. Is it useful? You bet. Is it hard to learn? Not really (as long as you speak English). I assume there's a manual attached to the program that will at least guide less tech-savvy people towards basics of regular expressions, but beyond that, the software seems to support both manual-based and interactive "trial&error" learning.

In all honesty, this is an extreme case of what I call UI optimized for utility. Good POS software looks like that. Good inventory management software looks like that. This kind of design is appreciated by people who have to work with an application frequently - e.g. as a part of their dayjob - because it saves time while playing into strengths of human perception.

I want more software to look like that.
Must be an extraordinary feeling to design something like this, bring it forth into the world and then watch it take off.

It is amazing that both photographers took the same photos from almost the same location... but if you look closely the photo in the "photo essay" was actually taken from a slightly higher position. For example, you can see that the upper corners of the retracted basketball board overlap with the girders in one photo, but not in the other.
It might not be so much a toolkit problem as a language or environment or even knowledge problem: someone might not be interested in working with C or C++ or even in anything else they do not already know and if all they know is web stuff then Electron is the path of least resistance. Even if someone is interested in learning something, that doesn't mean they'd be interested in learning and making a project at the same time.

Ask HN: How should I design the filters for this car search product?
Hey everyone, I'm trying to redesign the filters on this page: https://www.zaksper.com/used-cars/uae

Quick background: We just recently launched, we're focused on the UAE market for now, we have very few users and we plan on adding more categories after a few months, like property, electronics, clothes, etc.

My options are to put the filters on the left side of the posts as shown here:
https://www.cars.com/for-sale/searchresults.action/?mkId=20001&prMx=125000&rd=20&searchSource=QUICK_FORM&zc=60606

Or to put them under the the top bar like Airbnb:
https://www.airbnb.ae/s/Tokyo--Japan/homes?refinement_paths%5B%5D=%2Fhomes&query=Tokyo%2C%20Japan&adults=0&children=0&infants=0&guests=0&place_id=ChIJ51cu8IcbXWARiRtXIothAS4&click_referer=t%3ASEE_ALL%7Csid%3Ae69cf9d5-32b9-4eb4-bd61-a9de874edc65%7Cst%3AMAGAZINE_HOMES&title_type=MAGAZINE_HOMES&search_type=UNKNOWN&allow_override%5B%5D=&map_toggle=false&s_tag=4VVKdpT1

- Which design for the filters do you think is better?
- Is there some other design besides the above options, that you believe would be better for the filters?
- Besides the filters, what else do you recommend that we improve?

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Violent crimes has been stable for about a decade. About 100 people are killed in Sweden per year[1], about 250 are killed in Detroit per year[2].

Comparing different crime statistics between countries is very dicey BTW. Sweden has the broadest definition of rape in the world and the most comprehensive support systems for the victims. Saudi Arabia officially has 0.3 rapes per 100 000 people, where the victims can get punishments worse than the perpetrators. [3]

Seems like a really obnoxious way to communicate though. If they want somebody to do their best work and really do not care how much time it takes them to get there, they should just be upfront about it: "You have until next Monday, good luck".

If that makes them look like assholes, yeah, I can see why someone would feel that way but at least they are clear about their intentions and not insulting anyone's intelligence in the process.

I call them low self esteem corporations, the interview process requires you to constantly flatter them and tell them how much you'd like to work for them. I have too much respect for my own time, what's important is on my resume and the rest they can find out in a short interview, homework assignments and cover letters are plain silly.
Web Designing Company in Mumbai
A few things ... the word 'Crunchr' is real hard to make out when overlayed on the image of the person mid-pushup ... in that same-but-too-small font is your company name 'Tona' or 'Tonu'? ... the busy graphics on almost every screen looks great at first but would wear me out and get between me and my info, and looks too much like a cult-of-body-and-youth or like Men's Fitness, definitely not relatable ... the need to select a fancy background for every class listing would be tedious and would require extra info on whatever back end manages schedules, nobody will go through all that work and will be left with weird unrelated defaults ... that your original interview submission contains no rough work would make me worry you'd commit to a suboptimal path without opportunity to reset the course after a preliminary critique.

I don't like all aspects of its design but after getting through its initial quirks the Android Simple-Workout-Log app is dead simple and bare-bones and works quite well without the busy graphics.

EDIT: additional point.
You are right. If you read the paper, they de-duplicated all out-of-phase (shift 1 or 2) overlapped genes. Simple search and replace wouldn't have been viable due to these overlapped genes.
There was something -- all new things you acquire should truly spark joy for you. Under close inspection and recalling your experience purging your old things, the number of new things that would spark joy should hopefully diminish.

Bristol academic cracks Voynich Script, solving century-old medival text
American tax payers stand to save a lot of money by adopting the Scandinavian model for their prison system, particularly because of the use of much shorter sentences, and heavier use of fines (a lash to the pocket is often a far better deterrent than a long prison sentence). This opens up for better rehabilitation, and much less recidivism. In turn that means shorter queues which means a clear cut in the expenses needed to maintain all those prisons. In the end, it's a win-win for the state, tax payers and the prison inmates themselves. Only prison wardens would disapprove. ;)

Yes but if they systematically work more than 40h weeks then that's just not something to brush off as "well that's what we do in the industry", that's in many places illegal.

Widgets that need to be more expensive, should.

> all this economic activity that you're doing is nice but we don't really want it actually. Not like this

That's what they said when we had 6day work weeks and went to 5, or when we got 40h work weeks. Actually enforcing it shouldn't be a bigger change than mandating it already was. Same thing with holidays. I make REALLY expensive widgets because I have 5weeks paid holiday. And they should be expensive because I really want the holiday.
> The US and others spent a lot of resources building the free trade system of the world.

Are the sanctions against countries like Cuba, Iran or North Korea also a part of "fair" and "free" trade?

Of course, US is free to choose with whom they want or don't want to deal; just don't call it "free" trade please.
I would guess it saves crane time for the supporting crane. If the bolts are loosened before the supporting crane begins operating, the total start to finish crane time can be less.

Of course, the tower's resistance to overturning moment is reduced during that time - to what appears to be fatal results in this case. Not worth it.

The article doesn't propose any practical ways of reducing the number prisoners. Simply letting everyone out and hoping for the best doesn't seem to be a good plan.

One thing that could work for non-violent crimes, would be a bracelet that records all conversations and all movements of wearer, making recidivism very hard. Of course attempts to destroy the bracelet should be punished by real prison terms.
very cool but video way too emotional
Is this a bribe? A bug bounty is a standard program for lots of companies, we don't consider the bounty a bribe. I mean, you could bribe someone in this way but there needs to be some nefarious intent going on - just giving them money to delay announcement until you've fixed the bug seems like a fairly pure motive to me.
None. You could even require board decions for each expense but it will gridlock the company.
Incarceration rates per 100K population: U.S. 693; Germany 76; Netherlands 69

Germany and the Netherlands both have lower violent crime rates. An extra 600 per 100K Americans deserve to be imprisoned and are a real threat to society or there's something wrong with the US approach.
That article is not very accurate:

> The lack of spinning blades improves efficiency,...

A ducted fan is, in fact, a bunch of blades spinning in a duct. A well-designed ducted fan can be more efficient than a propeller of the same diameter. That efficiency is also more dependent on airspeed, as any given duct shape must be designed for a particular flow [1]. (it looks as though this design may have a variable nozzle, which could broaden the efficiency hump over a wider speed range.)

>...reduces noise...

To some extent, though the ducted fans on airliners still demonstrate a fair amount of noise from the fan itself. The video continues the practice of not giving a clear indication of how much noise is being generated.

>...eliminates the risk of turning passing birds into chop suey.

As there are rotating blades, this does not follow. It is not going to be healthy for either bird or fan when they collide. At least this airplane has a lot of fans.

If you take this at face value, those top 20 execs must have been extremely highly paid if freezing their wages allowed this to happen. (As math done by others shows - giving 25 people a 15K raise is ~350k. That means those top people were expecting raises of that much. Implies a crazy base)

I suspect there is more to the story. Either the raises paid for themselves via lower attrition, or perhaps came with added productivity. If you look up the company on Glassdoor, there is a lot of negativity towards management.
Running short and long term debt balances to create financial market liquidity isn't uncommon. When Australia reached zero long-term debt in the early 2000s, the government continued raising and retiring hundreds of billions of dollars of debt on a regular cadence to provide AUD liquidity in the debt markets.

You question whether or not this is a bribe, but then you get to this:

And this is why it is a bribe. Sure, maybe you feel this isn't ethically problematic in which case you could just take it.
Ins and Outs of Flutter Web
Thanks. Should've read the paper before commenting.
I read it as honesty and not bragging. Few people set out to create a inaccessible language with bad documentation, but given enough time and users, most languages become one. I'd prefer language maintainers and users have enough self-awareness to not believe it is still the elegant and simple language of 20 years ago.

Edit: 10 years ago in this case.
The conventional reserve amounts account for diversions such as an airport being closed, or weather conditions at such as crosswinds exceeding the aircraft's capability to land at that airport. Another case is unexpected headwinds using up fuel, losing an engine, or going out over water and needing to turn back half way.

If you're going to make VTOL exceptions, you still can't just punt and say put it down anywhere. What if you're over LA and there's no clear spot for miles? Over water? In instrument conditions (necessary for scheduled flights, because weather) and you can't see below you?

Not saying we shouldn't amend the FARs for new aircraft types, but there's some thinking that needs to go into them.
Yes, but investors don't care about profit or sustainability anymore, always just this perpetual, artificial growth.

A million years ago when I was young the IPO market used to be the end of the bullshit, you actually had to make money and have a long term plan. That is no longer true, the fictional growth narrative is demanded over actual money now.
