My (would be) manager who was also technical (he has since self demoted to an IC role after his kids graduated college) was already satisfied. It was one of the other devs who was sitting in.

I think he asked me something about the difference between undefined and implementation defined behavior and the an example of each. This was in 2015. I had the same question when it was relevant for an interview in 1999.

I’ve geeked out with another hiring manager at an interview about some old 8 bit coding I did but that felt different.
Usually, the people owed the debt is not the people who the loan was spent on. You aren't playing dirty back at them, you are just making someone else the victim of the monetary loss.

Getting shell in a new copy of container:

Running sshd inside a container to let you peek inside is bad taste, and bad security, too.
Ask HN: Habits of Highly Unsuccessful Founders (Anti-Patterns)
There's a lot of prescriptive successful founder patterns, but not a lot written about anti-patterns.

While doubling down on your strengths is good, in certain cases, working on addressing severe deficiencies in skills critical to founding a business (getting it to at least "baseline competent") may yield a better overall results for the founder per pound of effort + time.

Please be specific and constructive. The more actionable the anti-pattern "in reverse" is, the better.

I'll start off with some examples:

- When soliciting for feedback, only hearing what you want to hear

- Not knowing how to engage with people to pitch and sell

- Thinking that if you build, they will come

- Worrying about things unlikely to be of real concern at the phase you are in. E.g. worrying about patenting an idea for a marketplace / network-effect startup when you haven't done anything at all to test if it even has legs
:)

So you have read enough to see but you need some sort of proof aside from the fact humans have been using it as feed for as long as history has been recorded ?

Given the fact humans didnt even know they had the endocannabanoid system until the 90's I am not surprised there isnt technical evidence showing the correlation.

Common sense should prevail here, but you are correct... even though the cannabanoid receptors are one of the most populous receptors in the brain and folks using CBD oil have been reporting all sorts of interesting reactions to it ( I personally can tell you it relieves pain from nerve damage ). Nothing in the links I posted directly correlates anything.

> If these Financial "Centers" are easy to move why does anyone need a Center in the first place?

Because at one point you did. And the existence of those places worked on removing barriers of trade. And now those places are being dismantled while the barriers of trade are already removed.

So you get the luxury to look at it through the lens of the present, ignoring how it came to be completely.

At this point financial centers offer different collections of favorable regulations that you can choose at your own whim.

Separate jurisdictions shift nuances of law around and compete on this still.

For example, many people access the US markets through Delaware "because they heard" and have no idea what the other 49 states, 1 district, and 5 territories offer despite having complete autonomy to compete over the last 30 years.

Some of those 55 jurisdictions are faster, cheaper, have Chancery courts, have favorable court rulings completely opposite of Delaware, can lean on Delaware case law if desired, have newer and more interesting business types you can create, may be more private and anonymous, may be better for your business.

Thats how centers develop and their utility. Its mostly the ease of getting the local government to listen to the desires of ephemeral entrepreneurs.
Shouldn't there be a setting under Privacy to turn responding to beacons off?

I'd be interested in a list of popular apps or SDKs that use beacons -- so I could uninstall them pronto.
The crux of the problem is that we've interviewed dozens of applicants and none of them have been able to pass the sniff test. We are setting the bar pretty low, but the average skill level of the people we've had access to is shocking. There just isn't a supply of good developers for companies that aren't FAANGs or unicorns. And before anyone says we aren't paying enough, or we are being unfair, the reason these interviewees are not passing is because they can't answer basic questions about the languages and frameworks they've been using for years. Things that you would know if you spent five minutes reading the first few pages of the official documentation. It's baffling. If I could even get a talented junior that I thought was capable of leveling up to a senior position in a few years I would be ecstatic.

Edit: for example, when interviewing for a react/redux position, one of the first questions I ask is "if you need to make a network request in an app using redux, where do you put it?" at least 3/4 interviewees answer "in the reducer". From page 3 of the "Basic Tutorial" in the redux documentation:

Things you should never do inside a reducer:

Mutate its arguments;
Perform side effects like API calls and routing transitions;
Call non-pure functions, e.g. Date.now() or Math.random().
Read the entire article. It also talks about the increased Mg excretion effect of stress hormones.

It’s a combination of lower intake of what already is a micronutrient, increased excretion (consequence of the lifestyle changes), and hard to diagnose (because serum Mg levels stay stable, only cellular Mg reserves are depleted).

I had a couple neurological issues in the past and had a good endocrinologist suggest me Mg (quelated) and he explained all that is mentioned on the article.
Cool, glad to know you meant that, because I totally agree with it! We've typically had our son eat something different from us - some friends say we should have him eat what we eat, but I point out to them that they tend to end up eating a lot of mac and cheese and hots dogs ;) We like spicy (hot) food that has complex flavor profiles - we have our son try everything, but kids palates are different than adults, and we'd rather not him condition us into eating kid food!
I read some histories that just sound like someone that financed a big and very specific type of boat, that they couldn't afford to begin with, while living in a landlocked nation with no lakes and a few small rivers. But it is not entirely their fault, a lot of people cheered their young naive ass on to step in that trap.

The silver lining is that they might serve as a good cautionary tale for others.

A large portion of programming books are still under neither a FOSS nor a CC license, and hence fully protected by copyright. (I've encountered some where the main text of the book is not under a FOSS license, while the code is, but that's also not universal.) In such cases, you're not allowed to just re-use large code segments from the book (commercially or in an open source piece of code). Hence the case of a book under GPL isn't any "worse" than that, except that you do have the option of using the code in a GPL-licensed codebase.

(Small snippets are obviously not covered by copyright.)
I remember being told that you were wasting your life if you didn't start college immediately after graduating from high school, and employers would look down on your resume as some sort of failure.
> How would you and others feel if I were to rephrase that to something along the lines of "Almost no one really needs wired Internet except for all those teens and twenty-somethings who do nothing but watch video on their phones 20 hours a day"?

Entirely neutral emotionally and in agreement.

Demographics who grew up with the internet use it more and for higher bandwidth things. Seems pretty intuitive and non offensive to me.

My grandfather in particular has had home computers since the 70s. There are exceptions. But that doesn't invalidate the point being made. My mother for instance, is slightly ahead of the average for her age technologically. (In some ways at least.). But she's literally done exactly what the post that started this describes. When I moved out and stopped paying the internet bill a few months later, she had no interest in starting her own. Hasn't had anything but mobile since.
I really liked this perspective and I think I learned a lot about my own rejection of my heritage (it's "red group") and hometown friends and family. It's true, I hate'm more than ISIS. Pretty silly, but I think it's good that I'm chewing on this now.

One thing I strongly disagree with:

>When a friend of mine heard Eich got fired, she didn’t see anything wrong with it. “I can tolerate anything except intolerance,” she said.

>“Intolerance” is starting to look like another one of those words like “white” and “American”.

>“I can tolerate anything except the outgroup.” Doesn’t sound quite so noble now, does it?

If Eich had gotten fired for arguing that healthcare should be a capitalist free market system in America, or that guns ownership should have no regulation, or some other red-group position that doesn't involve the oppression of others, I'd defend him.

But, intolerance can't be tolerated. Paradox of tolerance, sure. Arguably, making me intolerant (ARGUABLY).

There's a difference between conservative political views and intolerant political views. The fact that a shitload of red group values coincide with intolerance (or that a lot of intolerant people are red group) is sure unfortunate for red groupers that are tolerant, but that's life. (and no, blue group "intolerance of the intolerant" does not equate to "bad people on both sides" for me)
I do the same for a “senior” developer with 20 years more experience than me and a bafflingly appalling understanding of how to write basic code.

Bless you sir, you are keeping the code legible and clean for everyone else on your team and doing a great service for your company — even if they don’t appreciate it.
That's not likely be much of a consideration for anyone who would spend $450M on a painting.
Agreed. I'm just happy to have a style guide that's tasteful enough and well-known among Ruby users. For me, one big advantage of the guide/Rubocop is being able to let other people worry about the little details and variations.

What college did you go to? Public or private? In state or out? Community or state? What was your major field of study in college?

Why would you be homeless if your parents have a home with a room for you?

How old are you? The student debt crisis is 20 years old already.

If it's your parents' fault, take their money to pay back the loan. What's your parents' excuse for taking out large bad loans?
> The far left in the tech industry has control of speech in a way that's pretty novel

When we talk about the far left which controls the tech industry to the point where it can control speech, are we talking about very effective capitalists who are somehow nevertheless economic leftists (and apparently have shareholders of the same bent), or are we talking about a socially oriented far left, perhaps even largely managed by historically disadvantaged classes (and also have shareholders who support them)?

Because I can't think of any good definition of "the far left" that matches the incentives, philosophy, and power behind the tech companies out there.

The closest argument I think could be made is that there's enough vocal users who are concerned about certain kinds of content that some companies feel compelled to respond to that concern. One can argue that has its own issues, but it's pretty distinct from control.

> It feels good to call someone a nazi and cast them out, but let's exercise some restraint and save that for actual nazis.

I agree that nazi (like fascist) can be a term that's expanded to the point of dilution. But... what's an actual nazi? If we don't know the answer, will we be able to act effectively with our saved effort? If we're looking to history as a guide, do we draw the line at something comparable to 1943 nazis, or 1933 nazis, or 1923 nazis?
You don't need the Target app to be tracked by Target, since the tracking beacon code can be in any number of unrelated apps (weather, news, games, etc.)
I'm guessing this can be policed by a service allowing the user to see a map containing location detail & time accessed information per apps installed. Thus, showing the user which apps installed are signaling with bluetooth and when they're entering specific stores throughout the day.
It boggles my mind that a rich and highly civilized country as the USA does not have free education and healthcare. I'm sure it's a great country but come on, you guys are really nuts sometimes.

> As the number of hours I’ve spent on FOSS projects grew from tens of hours, to hundreds, to thousands and tens of thousands, I’ve learned that the effort I sink into my work far outstrips the effort required to reuse my work.

At one point you succeeded, your contributions became valuable. But then you lost your way.

> do unto others as you would have them do unto you. The GPL is the legal embodiment of this Golden Rule: in exchange for benefiting from my hard work, you just have to extend me the same courtesy.

The MIT license is the moral embodiment of this Golden Rule. When I work on or with free software, I don't want to be forced to do anything, and I also don't want to others to be forced to do anything for me if they use my contributions.
When I make my (modest) contributions to MIT or BSD licensed software projects, those contributions are free.

I don't know how you can claim GPL is free and then use "you have to" to describe the operator's obligations for using your "free" software. The capitalist usually asks for money in exchange for their software, while you ask for labor. It's not immoral, but it's not free.

You're unhappy about the leeches but that's why we contribute for free - we don't mind that some people fail to donate, don't contribute, make their own modifications without giving back, and so on. If you want to get "even" with the users of your software, make it simple and sell licenses.

The MIT License: charity (giving)

The GPL License: business (exchange)
And the 17 year-olds are in an adversarial environment.

I've known very smart people who, as late teens, were told all sorts of lies by colleges, about employability in the fields in which they ultimately got degrees.

It could've been wishful thinking on the part of the department (e.g., "Every industry needs Philosophy majors!"), and it could've been professors out of touch (e.g., "Hey, I got degrees in literature, and I got a professorship, coincidentally at the same university where my mom was head of a department, so anyone can do it! And my friends who didn't get professorships all got jobs at the hedge funds run by friends of their dads!").

And everyone was telling these teens that they need a degree, and everyone they knew was doing it.
Great, if people were that smart we wouldn't have had the 2008 housing crash. You have to make these structures idiot safe or the idiots destroy the economy.
The average cost of college for a four year, in-state public state university is ~$25,000 per year [1]. I'm happy that you either came from a rich family or went to college before the student debt crisis started, but not everyone has $100,000 in cash under their couch cushions.

As much the current interview process is broken, I honestly believe this is the best attitude.

In a way, it's nothing more than studying for some goal you think it will improve your current situation, and the good news that it is pretty much a solved problem, with plenty of information online that can be used to practice.

Just take into account that for an embedded position you might actually be asked more domain-specific questions.

I wish you the best in your seearch!
Andrew Yang had a great reason for NOT signing the progressive pledge and why he didn't support free college for everyone.

His reasoning was 2 fold.

1) His UBI would help college students drastically and be a stimulus for college age kids.

2) His words, "Only 33% of people go to college" IIRC he also stated that this would only help 1/3 the population and that we need to promote alternatives to college instead.

I think there are two more issues with college. Some jobs require college degrees but really shouldn't (some not all). Some degrees offer little to no economic benefit to the student but are sold to the student at a premium.

There are some really great reasons why we need to resolve current student debt, but I think we need to overhaul how we view high school / college for everyone rather than for 1/3 of the population.
No, I reject this. The loan system in the US (at least) is dirty through and through, and anyone who ends up buying debt off of a major corporation is especially sleazy. And heck, if the banks get in trouble through irresponsible lending it'll be fine for them - their loss will end up coming out of all of our pockets.

> You realize that hate crimes have gone up the past few years?

Um. You do realize that politifact article ends with "reported incidents are going up, total incidents are going down", right?

Here:

> Analyses of the National Crime Victimization Survey indicated that the majority of crime victimizations were not reported to the police from 2009 to 2014. Reported victimizations have picked up, and unreported incidents have went down since 2015, after a significant drop in both categories in 2014.

And their "Share The Facts" summary: "Only for reported crimes"

Finally, throwing milkshakes, just like throwing rotten fruit, is violence - mild violence, but still a very different thing than speech.
Throwing away a valuable reputation for stability, and an economically crucial financial industry with it, because a hardline government won't compromise on chasing a deranged dream? I'm glad to see British traditions are still upheld in Hong Kong!
In my experience, I've seen close to 50% of the people that can talk their way through an interview and put up a good game wind up being absolutely useless at actually writing code once you hire them and set them to work. There is a huge disconnect between being able to understand the big-picture hand-wavey ideas of how software fits together and being able to turn that into nuts-and-bolts working code.

Something as simple as having somebody write a little web application that takes a request, calls an external service, parses the response, and returns a transformed response, filters out the bozos wonderfully.
You jest, but the for loop example is now in our pre-screening questions!
Sure, but then it means you have to forcefully decide how much universities can charge for their services. And you will have to raise taxes to fund free education.

I'm not a fan of socialism. I think people and organizations should be free to decide how much their services cost.

And btw, that 15% cap will result in one thing: poor people not being able to get credit.
If I make a movie and include your copyrighted song for just three minutes of the intro, my whole movie violates the law. Or if I write a book and copy-paste just one chapter you wrote on your blog into it, the book also violated your copyright.

And I "starve to death and die" because yes, in this world you can't just take things that other people have made and use them in whatever way you like -- if you can't obey the terms that someone else has given for the use of their creative work, then don't use their work.
You realize that hate crimes have gone up the past few years? The far right are committing crimes

There are over 600 documented incidents of assault and vandalism committed on behalf of the Left, most often associated with Antifa, in the past few years. If you just look at the past two years and exclude Christchurch, the Far Left death toll also outstrips that of the Far Right.

You're tying to equivocate throwing a milkshake at a politician with actual violence.

In many jurisdictions, that is assault.
Even people with "nonworthless" degrees that get hired have a hard time paying off their debt. I was lucky enough to get out of college without debt and into my engineering job.

The way we educate children in school is predatory when it comes to college and loans. We tell them to follow their dreams and that they must go to college. Of course you're going to have 18 year olds (who we know aren't fully developed until 25, who've been conditioned through schooling / society, etc.) make choices that turn out to be wrong in the long run.

For some reason, the older generations of our country (along with many others I would say) have decided they would rather eat their young.

None of this is an accident. It's to fund someone's luxurious lifestyle or retirement.

Why build housing when we can force the next generations to rent from us until they die?

Why have healthcare when we can use that to drain the accounts of any cancer stricken family who might have some actual savings built up? (healthcare related bankruptcies are staggeringly high in the USA)

All these things make someone richer. And if it's not you, you should probably be questioning why our country is making these decisions. They aren't the only decision we can make, other countries have proven that.

Empathy is hard. Sometimes people can't imagine the viewpoints on these things until someone in their family experiences it (gets cancer, loses their job, etc.).

I guess I would say, realize that no one is trying to get into these bad situations where they can't pay off their loans. They didn't wake up at 18 years old and say: "By golly, I sure would like to be hating my life in 10 years." They had hopes, they had aspirations, they had extenuating circumstances and a childhood that was different from our own.

The point is, almost no one sets out to make their life awful. Life happens.
Darn, I would like to see that poster, but I don't want to give Academia.edu (whatever that is) a copy of all my Google accounts!
Credit cards are issued at 10%-30% interest rates. This is the norm for unsecured debt; to get a decent rate a debt must usually be backed by something. Mortgages have the lowest rates seen with consumer debt because even in foreclosure, the house can (in normal economic conditions) be sold to repay the debt in full.

Student loans can't be made at reasonable interest rates without either a strong guarantee of repayment or a taxpayer subsidy for the risk. The current system has a bit of both.
