> Australians by and large don't want American style, unfettered free speech.

Most Australians don't know that there is no legislative or constitutional protections for everyday free speech rights they exercise. The High Court has had to stretch the constitution's wording to breaking point in order to rule in favour of more freedom on the side of the public.

Maybe we don't want American-style free speech, but maybe we want some other variant of free speech protections such as in any other developed country (we are the only developed country which doesn't have any free speech or privacy laws on the books). The entire argument of not having constitutional language for free speech was that English common law was sufficient. I think that view has been shown to be incorrect.

> And are quite happy with "say whatever you want so long as you don't libel or slander someone or some group of people" approach.

There are no legal protections for this kind of speech in Australia -- so if they're quite happy with it then they do want free speech laws. Also, America has libel laws restricting freedom of speech in specific ways (as does every other country which has free speech laws).
I've used Damp-Rid that they sell in the hardware store before.

I put the device (in my case it was an mp3 player that I ran with in a rainstorm) in a sealed container with the stuff. I left it in there for a few days and it did the job and it worked for about a year afterwards. It still does "work" but the screen is always blank now, so who knows, maybe the corrosion got to it in the end...
Serious question: why voluntarily choose PHP for a greenfield project in 2019? Less terrible is not a huge selling feature when most of the good stuff in Laravel is lifted directly from Rails but with none of the developer happiness.

The only argument I can think of is that you already have a team of PHP experts and they don't want to transition to Ruby, Node or Django.
Capitalism absolutely ended Slavery, and the Civil War. Eli Whitney's cotton gin and interchangeable factory made parts made it economical to produce cotton with far less labor. Capitalism did that. Serfdom and slavery isn't capitalism.

You're wrong about America and the reason for incacerarion. The African American murder rate is 8 times the rate of whites and other violent crime is thereabouts.

https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/htus8008.pdf

It it is obviously because of social policy directed towards African Americans. Their murder rates skyrocketed mostly after the 1960s. And half my American family is black and none are incarcerated; lots of high ranking police, highly-decorated soldiers, and educators.

Work at a B2B services firm for a while. You'll get exposure to hundreds of businesses over a few years.

I've seen industry outsiders solve a nonexistent problem, or fail to solve an existing problem without realizing it, or solve a non-generalized version of a problem that only applies to one company, or solve a problem excel solves better, or solve a problem which was just a bad (now permanent) process. The list goes on.

However it happens, you greatly increase your chances of providing a valuable piece of software if you have exposure to not just a single business in an industry, but dozens of them.

VLC is what got me interested in the free software biz to begin with.

This is pretty naive.

A company I used to work at made ~$10Bn in profit per year and employed 300k people this does not mean that all its practices were profit making, some were demonstrably not profit making, even admitted to be so by SVPs. I don't mean some investment that would pay off in the future, I mean cost cutting exercises that went so far as to go past the fat and into the bone (SVPs words when we got a new CEO)

Another company I used to work at, this one employing 20 people, had a shockingly bad product. It looked dated, it was slow and it had all manner of process issues, in a word: Dysfunctional. The company was pretty profitable as it had excellent sales people. Working here really made me question a lot of things. How could a company with such a shitty, outdated, slow and unmaintainable product be so successful (for its size)?

The point is that the relationship between qualified people and financial success is far from linear.
> Edit: To inject a personal anecdote: every time I travel to Europe, I see people my age (and sometimes substantially younger) drinking beer and smoking marijuana. I almost never see reckless drinking or smoking the way I do in the US (e.g., at every college event), and I attribute that to a cultural failure of ours.

If we are in personal anecdotes, there is an disproportionately high rate of people around me with light to severe psychological conditions that started marijuana around or before 15 (at least 4 are/were close).

The Californian gold rush was a big factor; it created a huge stimulus and liquidity injection, recapitalising US industry, infrastructure and fedral government. Ironically this empowered the north to contend with the south, freeing (in name and partially) the slaves of the south but condeming the peoples of the west to genocide.

Over the span of the last 10 years I've probably interviewed between 80 and 100 engineers, at some stage in the process and even ran the whole hiring process in my last company.

There are points in this blog post I strongly agree with like how disrespectful "homework" and the importance of letting a candidate code on their own machine, where they have all their shortcuts etc. setup and are able to be productive. But I've found the algorithmic coding challenge to be in equal parts harmful as useful.

The biggest problem, as I see it, is as software engineers we are strongly biased towards a rational understanding of the world. For example I've seen hiring teams argue _for_ a candidate they clearly don't like because that person aced the coding challenge. In such situations, as hiring manager, I then challenge the hiring team with "OK it's Monday morning. You had a bad weekend. And now you're in the office sat next to the candidate. How do you feel about that?" and usually the truth _then_ comes out and we avoid hiring someone that would destroy the team. The point here is we have a natural bias to see things in absolutes; zeros or ones. This _tends_ to lead to an over-focus on the coding challenge because it gives us the illusion of a black or white answer on whether we should hire.

When I've interview people, I always ask myself "what's my gut feeling about this person?". What I've found there is "my gut" is sometimes wrong in the positive direction - I liked someone but they turned into a bad hire but always right in the negative direction; if I have a bad gut feeling about someone that I can't fully explain, these days I always go with it. The "evidence" I have there was two hires that I had a bad feeling about, one I later had to fire myself and the other that stuck around for a couple of years until someone else fired them.

Otherwise, when it comes to assessing coding ability, these days most programmers have code on github, even if it's just "hobby" code. I'd rather review that, look at their commit messages etc. and get a feel for how they program when relaxed and not trying to impress.

And if we must make candidates do homework, how about contributing to the greater good and asking them to make a contribution to some Open Source project e.g. fix a bug in numpy or otherwise?
There isn't. The High Court's decision on political freedom of speech is ridiculously limited in scope and doesn't apply to the vast majority of actions most Aussies would call "free speech". I also want to point out just how much the High Court has been forced to stretch the wording of the constitution in order to grant rights which are "obviously present" in our society:

* The amount of decisions which had a basis on "on just terms" had such a massive effect that almost every piece of legislation drafted in the past 50 years has a special provision saying that it should not be interpreted to violate the "on just terms" section of the constitution.

* The freedom of political speech comes from the High Court's reading of the preamble of the constitution, and the fact that it mentions Australia as being a representative democracy. They then ruled that in order for a representative democracy to exist you must have freedom of political speech. We're very lucky that our High Court is ruling in favour of the public's freedom rather than against it, because some people might see that as reason to question the legitimacy of the High Court (which would end very badly).
But the censorship which you see now is not the censorship simply of a whimsical censor king. It is the censorship of actors responding to perceived public pressure. This is a decentralised force of censorship bubbling up to central authorities of the land, who feel they must respond because the public still has enough power.

Now in China one might argue differently, that a censor king could routinely ignore the views of the public. But what's happening in the west are democracies opting into censorship. A lot of people like censorship, they just don't like the word.
> Indeed. I worked with a fully blind colleague(who ironically did accessibility testing..)

I don't know that that's ironic. Doing accessibility testing without significant impairment is very, very difficult, because you take shortcuts an impaired user doesn't get to use without even realising it. An impaired user can "just" try to use the software and they'll smash their face straight into all the roadblocks and sharp edges.

I still write all my software like that and am able to do so because of the programming language choices - shell and AWK, running on a true UNIX®️. My programs are full-blown applications compliant with all POSIX command line standards, yet they are only a few KB in size and use maybe several hundred KB of memory. They run so fast I never need to translate them into a compiled language.

Even when I write in C, I still write the program to be as small and as fast as possible, although sometimes I sacrifice memory consumption for that, but I'm solving a different set of problems in those cases.

It can be pretty hard to make a stranger feel at ease in a stressful situation so I can't pretend I have a 100% success rate, especially for the one screening interview we do which is a one hour pair programming exercise. However we do it, I am going to be there and look at what you are doing.

For the onsite though, most of the time, I explain the exercise and then I leave people work while I do something else in the same room.

I stay there so they can ask questions if they are stuck but I am not hovering over their shoulders so they can concentrate.

Where do you live in the west? I'm in the us, I just don't see extreme censorship except for racist pandering comments. Don't like the president, or cell phones, or capitalism, all good. Don't like poor people, no one will try to stop you. Only if you make racist, sexist, or gay bashing comments will people try to stop you from speaking. I haven't lived in China but I see the value in people being free to ask questions, read what they want, and not be worried about being kidnapped in the night and taken to prison - those seem pretty safe as universal rights to me.

I think the issue is that some people either don't remember the stress of an interview or just don't get that stressed so they can't empathise with people that do get horrendously stressed in an interview.

I'm with you on this one, if working at a company induces interview levels of a stress daily, even regularly, then please don't hire me.
It's funny to make comparison between CCP and "foreign power" as CCP was originally funded by the Soviets, which is, of course, a "foreign power".
And the sad truth is that you as an individual really can't make opinions for "we" which I'd take as "Chinese people" here. The problem is that the opposite opinions to yours are getting oppressed in a unprecedented way.

> Ok, but if your experiences are objectively wrong compared to our shared reality, "we" can make value judgements in the context of our shared reality as to whether the behaviors based on your objective experiences are rational or not.

Well, sure, but if we take some definitions of rational:

> Consistent with or based on reason or good judgment; logical or sensible.

or

> Having or exercising the ability to reason. synonym: logical.

I'd say rational doesn't care about factual or not, or others experiences or not. Rational is entirely dependent on how you react to what you experience.

> Sure, you can say "he is behaving rationally thru the lens of his own perspective" if you want, but that means the rest of us in the shared reality can say "these behaviors are irrational thru the lens of our shared reality". And since we're still here, and he is unfortunately not, I think "our" perspective is the one that matters at this point.

I think that's a wrong conclusion.

He was mentally ill. This perhaps skewed his experiences according to our shared reality. His experiences was not factual, one could say. Were his actions irrational? I don't think we can say that from what we know because he might have been acting rationally. The problem might just have been how he was experiencing things, which makes the basis of his actions not based on something we can say is factual or "real". However, if he was acting rationally on his experiences, even though his experiences were "wrong", he was still acting rationally.

I used recently and it's impossible to use with keyboard only, you can try yourself.

During duty shifts I was helping our support. The incoming flow of requests had peaks of ~3-4 situations per minute, all as messages in Slack channel, needed to be responded in newly created thread each. I've come up with a flow, but I cannot avoid mouse at all.

Slack just does not have enough key bindings to be used without mouse! Slack was a bottleneck for me.
If you are not willing to invest into UX that's fine to have gateways for people to use whatever client UI they need. But you just cannot wear to hats by both removing gateways and avoiding investing into your client UX. Result is plainly awful.

Nothing personal, I am actually hate using Slack, sad to say that. I will avoid using Slack in current state at all cost whenever I can.

Good luck to you! Hope you will make your product better!

this comment is so 2005 and it is suggesting you haven't worked with the latest versions of PHP and the ecosystem around it. From a language perspective, PHP is not any worse than Ruby, Python or Javascript. Composer, Symfony and other libraries have improved PHP projects by a lot.
Maybe the lack of human resources is offset by the lack of managerial bottleneck (you can just get stuff done and solve problems immediately with your keyboard without the need for weekly meetings or approval from some non-caring boss)? I've always been astounded too.
That part is true though
I disagree with the author's explanation as to why all questions are algorithmic. I suspect the real reason is due to the US dominance in tech and the popularity of algorithmics in US academia. Indeed the parts of computer science to do with logic, formal methods, semantics, mathematics of program construction etc are, I am told, often described in the US as "Eurotheory". This is a great shame. A new graduate arrives at Google fully trained in algorithms as mandated, but is unlikely to need to implement any of them during their career. It is far more likely that they will need to glue existing systems together, consume APIs, author APIs etc. "Eurotheory" would much better prepare them for this.

As an example, consider that we could be asking questions on API design: get candidates to work through their semantics/axioms (introductory forms to create objects, methods to transform and eliminate them). Get them to write out high-level testable properties such as the way objects compose, associate, commute etc. Using types to enforce invariants etc
