> If recruiters and hiring managers want you on a panel, it signals that you’re unlikely to disrupt their pipelines by rejecting candidates. This is especially true for high-growth companies (e.g. Twitter where ICs would do 8 onsites a week; I did 5 per week for years). They like you not because you’re proficient but because you’re aligned.

Even recruiters will cut you a lot of slack if your feedback is occasionally something like: "Well, we passed on that candidate. However, his knowledge of X, Y and Z were quite outstanding. Try and funnel him to a place that needs that--maybe company H?" This shows that you, as an interviewer, really did dedicate the time and effort to interview the candidate properly. Good recruiters consider this to be gold.

And other hiring managers have never begrudged my negative judgments. Especially because I generally try to find positive points in a candidate and give some details--"Well, I liked X, Y, and Q, however, I am deeply concerned about lack of Z. If anybody else has counter-evidence that shows he does know Z, I'm open for it." Generally, the result is a couple other managers also saying "No, that lack of Z is real, and there are some other holes we discovered."

Occasionally, you get a surprise. Someone will pipe up: "Huh? We talked about Z for almost 40 minutes and he was phenomenal. You must have had a communication misfire." It happens--then I will defer on that.

I have had managers probe my consistency by sending me "ringers" that they were obviously going to hire just to see if I was being overly harsh. One manager decided to quit doing that after I threatened to hire the candidate for my own group.

Ask HN: Good textbooks or resources for learning Abstract Algebra?
Anyone who’s studied abstract algebra have any favorite textbooks or resources for learning it? I want to better understand both the symbology and the concepts, particularly those that are prereqs to cryptography and category theory. I would love to find a “Calculus Made Easy” or “SICP” equivalent for abstract algebra - a text that explains it really well.

I've been Googling it and simply cannot find, anywhere, an explanation of why areas of skin that reflect less UV (and are therefore darker) are "skin damage".

Is this medically legitimate, or just a cool camera effect whose medical causes/effects are unproven or uncorrelated with sun exposure or skin cancer?

To play devil's advocate, couldn't these just be spots that appear with genetics or age regardless of sun exposure? And are there statistics showing that skin cancer appears with significantly greater frequency on the dark spots as opposed to lighter areas? Or heck, couldn't the dark spots function as skin protection (rather than "damage") since darker skin protects you from the sun in general?

I can believe it -- but the complete and total absence of any easily verifiable facts here makes me skeptical about taking this at face value.
Internally it is JSON. It exports as YAML for readability when sharing on discord.
Ah, you mean Germany? I am not sure the Russians will like that very much.
This is kind of a vague question.

> The school ultimately felt the bitmoji résumé was inappropriate.

> “We’re not a lot of crotchety old people who don’t understand how bitmojis work,” says Ms. Posthuma, who is 41. “It looked very juvenile.”

Seems juvenile to overlook the substance of a resume just because the person also shows their personality. It's unfortunate more people don't care about the actual skills needed for the job and instead make hiring decisions on the weirdest possible criteria. My favorite, very common, example: throwing out a resume because it has a typo for positions where typos don't really matter (most positions).

An approach where you stand out seems to make a lot of sense, nevertheless. You can be an "average" candidate and literally never get the job because they're only hiring one person for the position. An approach that turns some off but gets the attention of a few makes sense in many scenarios.
This article is trying to claim that the Nazis only lost on the eastern front because of the Soviets ("but the Soviet Union destroyed the largest portion of the Nazi military and defeated the Army of Manchuria, Japan’s strongest ground force.") But fails to mention that the US was actively supplying the Soviet forces with food and equipment through the lend lease program.

A few paragraphs later they try to downplay the first gumf war ("Unfortunately, the first Gulf War was not a strong indicator of American military power compared to other major powers") while completely failing to mention that the iraqi army was considered top 5 world wide. The fact that the US beat the Iraqis in such a short time frame was an "oh shit" moment that caused a crisis of faith in the Soviet leaders and directly led to the military overthrowing the Soviet Union.

This author seems to be trying to change history to fit his narrative by cherry picking interpretations of events and making false claims about the effectiveness of America's past allies and enemies.
I think that mathematicians should strive to use formal language proofs verified by computer. It'll allow to avoid situations when it's unclear whether this proof is correct or not and it'll allow people not to waste time on checking whether that proof is correct.

This appears potentially important for the development of fast nonvolatile memory to displace flash. Writing flash is always slow, because of the need to pump up a high write voltage, where ferrocapacitive writes can approach DRAM speeds, for similar cell sizes.

YAML is easier to read and write. That's the benefit. It's also always going to be smaller than anything JSON or XML. Maybe it's not as correct, maybe some people don't like it, I don't really mind it. I don't see it really going anywhere soon either considering Kubernetes and the lack of alternatives in widespread usage.

I've never had someone that needed extensive help understanding YAML and that's besides reviewing work for people just coming up to speed. Find me an IDE or editor that doesn't have YAML support. Also, YAML supports comments so if you have pitfalls people need to know about you can document them inline.

Your argument is people who don't know things might screw stuff up. Well Yeah! This applies to everything.

I’ve used it a few times in the past experimentally. It definitely improved startup time. It was hard to set up though, so I generally didn't find it useful.

I’ve become disenchanted with clojure over the last couple years, so I haven’t tried anything recently.
Skimmed article, didn't read paper if there was one. The article talks about data center links. These are rarely the failure mode, the failure mode is most often a bad config push and that then brings about a gray failure. And while a route may exist, because of priority levels and the way routes are announced, a part of the network is down even though there exists a physical path. This is a solution to a highly constrained model, not actual cloud computing.
> I think people here need to really keep in mind how much life situations differ in the USA

Ah yes, let me not write about, or even do anything else, ever, in my life, because some folk in the US of A are too "burdened".
As a current Gen Z applying to jobs, I think this trend is very minor and depends on the industry. Anecdotally, in all the tech career fairs and networking events/resume drops I've been to, 95% of resumes follow the traditional format without a hint of color. The other 5% are people who downloaded a flashy template for the first time and don't know what they're doing. For designers, I think it's reasonable to have a "unique" resume design, but for other non-visual jobs it's just in poor taste.
Without knowing more about the "sophisticated anti-piracy system" employed by the app author, it's hard to determine if Google's claim of malicious behaviour is valid.

This could be something as simple as bytecode obfuscation, or something as complex as scraping every bit of personal information available through possibly-questionable means and sending to an insecure server. Copy protection schemes are notoriously user-hostile.
You're missing the forest for the trees. The parts about communicating vision, mentoring, and sharing credit are all very germane to software businesses.

The packing starts to nake sense once you consider the very high air humidity (90-95% saturation) of air in Japan & during the summer the air is both humid and hot. Unless the bag is air tightly resealable or each piece is individually sealed, you need to consume the single bag of food at once as the rest will otherwise quickly go bad in the hot humid air.

Why would they have chosen to use template/text to generate YAML? That seems insane.

Surely using an encoder on an object/structure hierarchy (like people do with encoding/json) is the way to go?

On the other hand, the quality of the yaml libraries in Go wasn't great, last time I had to choose a configuration file format.
No, it's atomic. It's just not important if separate databases are not atomic to each other when you recover from backups, you will still have data loss and an inconsistent state. I.e. things that should be in the database missing, and that shouldn't be overwriting missing IDs, etc. Backups cannot be strongly consistent, so you have to take the exact same approaches to deal with this whether you store everything in a single database or in two separate ones.
It's hard to imagine the justification for "inappropriate" is for a bitmoji of someone waving hi.

I can understand not caring for it or it not contributing to the resume but it seems strange to see something like that so negatively.

The whole job application system seems like a meta game where the most absurd things get focused on.
Despite spending time writing and reading YAML on a daily basis for years, it still trips me up once things get non-trivial. It's definitely my least-favorite non-propritery config file format. XML might be overly verbose, but there are no surprises (unless you go bananas with schemas).
It sounds like you don't really manage them then?

To completely convey that there's no timeliness requirement for even a basic acknowledgement means you aren't actually managing anyone and/or your team is so gifted in efficiency your position isn't really needed in that organization.

I wonder if you're more of a mentor they go to when something isn't working or you're just wasting some company's time and money posting useless crap on their chat.

That's pretty incredible, thanks for sharing. Hard to believe decades of mathematical research collapsed on itself.
A lot of people working with YAML have an ops background and aren't familiar with basic data structures.
The issue is whether you want to cater to established conventions (both in mathematics where 1-based indexing is typical, but non-mathematicians will also similarly use 1-based counting), or you want to cater to what is most logical.

I suspect the main reason 1-based seems convenient for some things is because of convention. Note that 0 wasn't even really used in mathematics until hundreds of years after our system of counting years was created.

Since our year counting is 1-based, we end up with odd things like "2019" being the "19th year" of the "21st century" as opposed to "2018" being "year 18" of "century 20". I suspect it's also fairly unintuitive that the current century began in the year "2001" rather than "2000".
You Can't Pull the Market Towards Your Solution
I went through a potentially similar experience as you, where I was feeling a bit burned out on writing software. There were other things I wanted to pursue like writing fiction, but I didn't necessarily have the budget to focus on it full-time.

I transitioned into working in a field that still leverages my technical skills, but in a different way -- I conduct technical interviews. It's been a really healthy change for me in a number of ways -- in addition to getting some face-to-face communication with real human beings & improving my interviewing/interpersonal skills, it's also given me the chance to work remotely and pursue the other things that interest me. And I've found it to be a huge relief to have a job that is separate from the stress of maintaining a codebase or crafting software all day which I found to be pretty draining.

The company I work for in this space pays well ($100 USD per 90-minute interview). If this is the kind of thing you (or anyone else reading this) might be interested in, send me an email and I would be happy to talk further about it! My email address is in my profile.
>I don’t think it’s spiteful or childish to suggest breaking up a monopoly in these circumstances although I would say less drastic options should be tried first.

You've shown your hand here, in a way, by suggesting that Google is a monopoly in this instance. Android devices can install apps via other sources, like F-Droid or Amazon, or even just by side loading. There's no denying that out of the box, most Android devices are setup to favour Google's Play Store, just as Amazon's Kindle devices are setup to favour Amazon's own store. Does this make them a monopoly? If so, what do we make of iOS?

YAML is really so much more than JSON.

* YAML can have several 'documents' in the same file,separated by ---
* there are anchors and references
* easy to read multi line texts
* it's also a superset of JSON

I can see, how choosing YAML when you just wanted readable JSON might give you more headaches than expected.

And like someone else said, putting another template engine (or two) on top of YAML is when the real problems start.
Unfortunately, most employers are as aware of this distinction as the average applicant. I would not recommend reading too much into the minutiae of job postings, as they have precision approximating a blunt weapon.
You can do the first render without loading everything from the DB, then load your more expensive data while the page is loading.

Or do infinite scrolling and only load 10 rows from the DB, where you would have to render more rows to be usable if you didn't have infinite scrolling.
Given you taught yourself programming, you'll probably find you can teach yourself your next skill too. Three common next careers for once-software developers are recruitment (kill me now), engineering management (makes sense) and developer relations (fascinating if you have a knack for storytelling). In my MBA I'm sue I did learn things that I otherwise would not have eventually taught myself. But not because they could not be self-taught. Just because I wouldn't have thought to have included them in my never-ending program of self-education.

What, if any, modern products still use the 6502?

EDIT: That’s not a dig against the 6502. I still fondly remember leaning BASIC in my C64 and wish now I had ventured into Assembly with it. By today’s standards it seems to have a simpler and more approachable instruction set so I’m wondering if there aren’t products I could hack on to learn Assembly with it. Or maybe I should just break out my old Commie.
JSON alternative with lighter syntax and comments is basically what I tried to make StrictYAML.

I made it largely because I saw a disconnect with what YAML was, and what people - including me - thought it was (which is what it should be).

Don't agree with non-string map keys though... they're a complication I never saw a use for.
Thats what the Brno (a Czech city with ~400 000 thousand inhabitants) does with its trash - its incinerated in a modern incinerator plant, yielding a couple dozen MW of electricity and enough heat to run the city wide distroct heating system during the summer. During the winter it contributes about 20%.

Ted Chiang’s short story “Division by Zero”, about a mathematician who discovers the foundations of mathematics are inconsistent, would appear to be relevant to this discussion.
The key and keyless systems still fundamentally work the same way.

In purely mechanical ignitions systems in cars prior to the 90s, the ignition switch is just a momentary switch that requires the key to actuate it. Once on, the key however can't be removed without triggering the momentary switch again that tells the car to shut off. That why when you see someone hot wiring a car in a movie they aren't tying wires together, they just touch them momentarily.

Since the 90s, most cars rely on transponder systems embedded in the keys. There are various systems from microprocessors with exposed contacts to NFC wireless chips but they work mostly the same. There's still a momentary switch whether it be key based or not but the car won't start unless the transponder successfully authenticates.

Since the transponder system is required to start the car, having the key on the ignition switch became redundant and was replaced with just a push button.
Serbo-croatian might go to that list as well, as it was an official language in the former Yugoslavia. French too. Spanish (Castillan). Seems like interslavic might have a chance only in a hypothetical panslavic country.
It’s not about platitudes. It’s about raising awareness with a small gesture in hopes it will lead to a bigger change. It already is a pretty needless thing (especially as compostable straws exist) that accumulates in large numbers, and is purely single use. We already have had single use plastic bags banned for a long time in SF, and I cannot imagine going backwards. We need to continue moving onward... not bringing back straws but further reducing this single use plastic lifestyle.

It's so cheap and scalable to produce and so potent, I figure importers "Got while the gettin was good" and already moved containers of precursors or active ingredients state-side.

It could take decades to wash out.

Meanwhile the focus seems to be on ultra-small scale importers bringing in a few grams through the mail.

maybe in america, but in australia we have a huge amount more UV because of the hole in the ozone layer. i was in the US for the first time a few weeks ago, and the first thing i noticed was “huh... i didn’t know that going out in summer, the sun could literally feel different”... in australia it feels, no joke, like you’ve stuck your arm under an oven: you can feel the dry heat and UV. in the US, the sun was just a nice warm heat.

please, it’s a big problem over here... people should go outside (and we have a very “beaches and surf” type culture), but sunscreen is hugely important, and often forgotten.

>the documented 3%+ reduction in CVD is more than enough to outweigh it.

People with high sun exposure have lower CVD mortality; this does not in any meaningful way suggest that sun exposure reduces CVD mortality. To quote from your linked paper: "we cannot exclude the possibility that a bias exists between a healthy lifestyle and high sun exposure habits."

It is notoriously difficult to control for confounding variables in observational studies of this sort and the authors have provided nowhere near enough information in their paper for me to have any confidence in their adjustment. I think anyone reading this comment can easily think of a multitude of reasons why people who get less sun exposure might have poor health habits, or why people in poor health might get less sun exposure.
