Hi,

I have listen all the interviews and basically I found some mistakes, which you made.

1) On every recording you sound very shy (desperate). For recruiter is that sign, that you are not interested in the position or something is wrong. If you would really be interested in the position, you should sound enthusiastic! Really exited for that position. You should ask more question, be more prepared and don't let speak only the recruiter - also is good to say, that you have more offers not only this one.

2) Don't ask about how many people has been already interviewed, you sounds more like desperate and they can feel, you have been rejected many times.

3) Don't say, that you looking for job, because you are bored. That sounds just unprofessional.

4) When you retired at 2007 can you make some list of projects which you were working on? Did you learn something new? Did you get some course? Some certification?

5) You are asking for 150k or 130k as salary, if you were off the market for some time, probably you can lower your salary and work for one year just to get again some professional experience in team.

6) Don't talk about your rejections - layoffs, quits, talk about the success that you had.

7) Don't mention that you don't do anything now, say you are looking for job or you work on your own projects. Play it like you have offers and the company should want you, not that you need the company.

8) Mention your hobbies, try to play that you have also another life instead of coding and programming.

There is probably more mistakes, that you made but this is what I noticed. You should really work on your communication skills, be more enthusiastic, optimistic and don't sound so desperate, specially in job interview.

So good luck with the next offers :)
Nuclear power does not compete against wind and solar, as wind and solar are intermittent power sources. Nuclear is a firm energy source, in that we can use it to create steady-state power during periods that intermittent sources are not available. Coal is also a firm energy source, so coal and nuclear definitely compete.

Is there a translation to plain English? I'm not trying to be snarky here, I genuinely don't understand what is meant by "administrations", "markdown", "versatile applications", or "abandoning trucks".
Because people are misrepresenting facts (aka. lying)

Germany did not stop using nuclear power, it started phasing it out (which had actually been planned long before Fukushima), and has not been producing more pollution because it has in fact been replacing coal and gas as well as nuclear with renewable sources: https://www.cleanenergywire.org/factsheets/germanys-energy-c...
>CarPlay is the best all screen car interface I've used, and these days it's all I ever use if it's available in the car I'm driving.

Curious, do you own a car, or are you renting them?

Maybe that's why some people are such advocates for the Apple/Android interfaces: when you're driving different cars regularly it's helpful to have a consistent interface.

Meanwhile, I have never had any problem "getting used to" the various interfaces in new cars I purchase every few years.

> What the driver is not going to do is pull over at an exit to stop the car and check if that was the exit they were supposed to take, and then get back on the highway and keep going.

Funny you should say that, its exactly what people did not too long ago.

You'd look up where you were going in a key map or more broadly a road atlas, write down your instructions (and keep it open to the final destination in case of road closures, etc)

I really don't see the appeal of getting in a car and beginning to drive without knowing where you're going. "I'll look it up on the road" just seems like an intersection of anxiety (deliberately increasing your chance of crashing), annoyance (deliberately making your navigational search harder to perform), and apprehension (increasing the chance you'll miss a crucial turn early in the trip due to lack of navigation).

It's like choosing to juggle while taking a test.
I remember reading that pregnancies from that area and time were routinely terminated by doctors without much further tests for that very fear.

It's sad to see them use inflated numbers to criticize the numbers they claim are inflated:

“Although the 31 immediate Chernobyl-related deaths are sad,” he concludes, “the number of fatalities is remarkably small compared with many energy-related accidents, such as the Benxihu coal mine disaster in China 1942, which killed about 1500 miners, and the 1975 Banqiao dam accident, also in China, which killed about 250,000 people.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banqiao_Dam#Casualties

The dam failure killed approx. 26,000 people, and 145,000 died as a result of subsequent epidemics and famine according to the official record.

While this was a very significant loss of life, inflating it to argue with other numbers you contest seems pretty shallow.

Norman, and Napoleon. The landed aristocracy has moved back and forth across the channel for a thousand years. They also fought countless wars against, and a couple alongside, each other. That creates a common culture that bleeds into all language. It happened in law, but also greatly in medicine and other sciences.
I know insinuating that "you didn't read the article" is against the rules here, so I will take the risk: did you read the article?

“Another error [in HBO’s “Chernobyl”] was to portray the victims as being dangerously radioactive,” UCLA’s Robert Gale wrote in “The Cancer Letter,” a subscription-based newsletter.

Gale, who worked for UCLA at the time of the accident, says that the firefighters who suffered from Acute Radiation Syndrome were not contagious, as they are portrayed as by HBO's "Chernobyl."

Gale criticizes the portrayal in “Chernobyl” of a baby’s death supposedly from “absorbing” deadly amounts of radiation from her dying father, a firefighter who helped put out the blaze.

“Lastly, there is the dangerous representation that, because one of the victims was radioactive, his pregnant wife endangered her unborn child by entering his hospital room,” writes Gale.

If you read further down, it's apparent that, yes, the guy is clearly pro-nuclear. But his criticisms are on specific matters of fact surrounding radiation poisoning.
Yes, let's have the Ford highway that only Ford vehicle can drive on because the transponders are proprietary. We don't have privately painted lane markings, why would we have privately installed radio lane markings?
This is very sad. Regular earnings from Uber eats or similar are already way too low to live in a city like Paris, so as a sub-contractor, I cannot imagine how those people live. We are back to the 19th century and Victor Hugo novels.

You can definitely run Qt on various platforms. That's the whole point of Qt to begin with :)

The ability to have CSS in most browsers (a total of three of them as of 2019 since IE is switching to Chromium) is not really an excuse for the state of CSS.
kind of.. though this tool does a lot more (caching, recursing into archives and extracting all text) and is a lot faster (for the file types it can parse, lesspipe knows more), and of course lesspipe is only indirectly usable for recursive searching.

Also, most of it is completely safe Rust, so no out-of-bounds writes there :). The most dangerous part currently is probably the PDF parser.
I'm not sure it cleanly falls on either category. I agree with him that an all-touchscreen UI would be terrible, but I am correcting the misconception that Tesla has an all-touchscreen UI, because it doesn't.

I also agree that those scroll wheels are great.

Big problem I've seen is behavior in using Some vs email, and the monitoring capabilities managers have in monitoring either. From my observations, people use Slack very casually in the sense that they use it like they would any IM platform to socialize/gossip/vent on a whim while at work, not expecting that management has access to viewing each and every thread. This has lead to management playing favorites/politics. In the case of a friend who got a promotion to management at their employers recently, they had to see many of their teammates pre promotion get fired due to those teammates venting on Slack about inefficiencies/incompetencies in management, and management having read each and every response without those teammates realizing they had access.

Email still presents this issue, but not at this level of casual use/expectation of access by management

> The desire to minimize the speed at which crashes happen literally costs lives when applied in the real world because reducing the frequency of crashes is the superior option.

While I understand that minimizing crashes is important, I'd rather be faced with scenarios where we crash in a manner where people survive more often - any accidents that do happen at the higher speed is going to skyrocket the chances of a fatality.

What Google has done over the years is thwart some of the scummy SEO practices by penalizing websites that do it; a big part of current-day SEO practices are to make your website conform to web and content standards. Basically, turn it into a decent site.

There's still the black market SEO where people hire spambots to send links, but that's been thwarted / voided by just adding a nofollow to links in user generated content like comments.
The generalization of continuous variable version of boolean logic can be achieved in various ways as far as I know. One way is Cox's theorem [1], which forms the basis of Bayesian probability theory, and will give you consistent logic and reduces to the standard rules of boolean logic in the limit of 0/1.

"Road safety actually improves when you raise the speed limit to the speed most drivers are actually driving."

Number of accidents drop, but the number of fatalities increase when you raise the speed limit because the accidents that do happen have so much more energy in them (e=mv^2). So "safety" only improves if you have a bad definition of safety.
The problem is physics. You have a bunch of people in fairly close geographic area transmitting to the same point in space on the same frequency band. One bad actor can interfere with everybody else's tx.

> What if people die because you cannot modify that code?

I think it's far better to trust unmodified safety critical code that's been tested than to trust Joe Blow's precariously modified braking code that allows his Honda Civic to drift around corners better.
I believe they are making a very risky bet (like VC always do, and when it pays off they get huge reward which cover the other losses).

Their bet is on Uber reaching autonomous taxi service. Without this Uber stands no chance in the long term.
The power vs xor mistake is no doubt a common one, but I take issue with the 2^8, 2^16, 2^32 examples that got singled out because they are also common bitmasks. Should FLAG_BIT1 ^ FLAG_BIT3 really be a warning?

XOR may be rarely used, but 2^8 is not only one of the most common accidental XORs, it's also probably one of the more common legitimate uses of it.
Word and Excel are probably worth running Windows/Mac over Linux GUI alone if you have to spend any time in them, which I do in a non-Microsoft stack for business-related things. I'd imagine most people have to spend some non-negligible time in these.

Unfortunately, in practice nuclear does still compete against coal. It would be wonderful if the choice was between nuclear and renewables, but that is not yet where we are.

Nuclear is still the lesser of the two evils compared to coal and oil, which are very much the only other option in many cases.
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, not so much. Sure, we may see prototypes of self-driving cars going on the interstate in California on sunny days. But I have yet to see a self-driving car make it through a blizzard in Montana. You can't see lane markings with a LIDAR if you can't see the road covered in an inch of hard packed snow. But radio signals of correct frequencies have no problem with that.

Think about it this way: the roads themselves are very expensive. But they make each car much cheaper. Most cars don't have to be equipped to drive over rocks and roots (we have tarmac), or lakes/ponds/rivers (we have bridges). We already spend a ton of taxpayer money to make it so that a 15 inch wheel with a mostly smooth tire and 5" of suspension travel is all a car needs. Why not install transceivers to make cars not require to have a super complicated LIDAR system?
I came to suggest something similar.

I often wonder how much this applies today. Academic science is currently heavily driven by funding of popular, low-risk research.

Also, without meaning any disrespect to Feynman or the advice, it's easy enough to say something like "disregard what others are doing" when you've won a Nobel. It's another thing to say this to people in just about any other inequivalent scenario, which is nearly everyone.
To answer your question with a question - Would you be satisfied if they could solve the problem in that setting? Is making a laptop available to them for problem solving that much trouble?

Or, rather than looking for _any_ competent candidate, are you looking for someone like you and your coworkers, who can give direct answers without a pause? I ask because in one case it's more like an attempt to hire capable employees and the other is perhaps a subconscious attempt to maintain a monoculture.

It was as much for that as to avoid a repeat of the squabbling over territories that had caused the war in the first place. The main point was that territories should not be assigned just because this or that army controls it (which would have inevitably degenerated again, as it did), but because the population wishes to be so.

The failure of Versailles to fairly apply that rule (and later, of Germany and USSR to respect it, before and after WWII) resulted in tragic events that I hope nobody wants to see repeated. The model for a modern approach should be the Chzech/Slovakia divorce, surely, rather than e.g. Chechenya?

Because it is fun and I don't feel like filing Form 3794-G to have a plant on my desk or something.

I worked in the US Gov't as my first job and the amount of wasted time due to bureaucracy and red tape was overwhelming. I will admit comparing the government to big business isn't fair, but I can't imagine it is a far step.

Also I prefer working on scrappier teams where the work is either the entire project or a large chunk, rather than being responsible for one screen or something.

I have never worked in a large business but it always makes me shake my head when I hear a place like Pinterest or something having 2,000 engineers. Like how? What can 2,000 engineers do that 200 can't?

You don't need 200 dev-ops. You don't need 200 front-end engineers. It just baffles me why these places with one product need so many engineers. I am sure it is business people thinking nine women can make a baby in one month.

I will admit that the whole equity thing tripped me up at first. Now I just want a large salary, keep expenses low and hope I can get a few years before "It's been a fun ride".

Also, for any junior startup people: No one is your friend. Absolutely be friendly and sociable but remember that it is a business at the end of the day.

Regardless of how many times the CxO says "We're a family!", you aren't. That same CxO will be forced to cut X% when times get rough. They may not like it but it is a business, not a family.

Dwell on the worst cases, keep your resume sharp and trust your gut rather than your heart. You may love life, but tides shift fast in startups (both good and bad).

Something I didn't see mentioned in either of the older threads: some people speculate that the mention of "sweet cane" in Exodus 30:23 is actually a misinterpretation and that it should actually be "cannabis". The literal Hebrew [1] is בֹ֖שֶׂם וּקְנֵה־ "ḇō·śem ū·qə·nêh-" or, rearranging that a bit, "qeneh-bosem", which looks a lot like "cannabis". If this speculation is true, it would indicate cannabis was used for religious ceremonies by the early Israelites.

One of my greatest regrets from my days [legally] selling Magic Mushrooms here in the UK many years ago was being on holiday when The Economist called to interview us (we were essentially 'market leaders'). As an Economist subscriber back then I would've leapt at the opportunity. As it was (if memory serves) my partners were reticent to talk to them, presuming they'd take a more moral stance than I would've expected, and that they took.
