I went to a FAANG interview today without preparing and was asked 7 leetcoding problems across 5 interviews. Even the behavioral one included a leetcode problem.

Most interviewers seemed to give an easy problem followed by a medium/hard. I think I succeeded, purely based on years of doing leetcode in the past and having a job at another FAANG-like.

Spolsky wrote a great piece about embrace and extend titled "Fire & Motion"[^1].

The most important thing for defending against these incumbents is to aggressively prevent and repeal regulation that would stifle competition. Nassim Taleb's view on incumbents is that as long as the mighty can fall (i.e. no bailouts, no protection), it gives disruptors a chance to rise to the top (so they can later fall).

I'm sorry to say, but you might not have been paying attention. Nowadays SystemD actually does much more than that.

So are complaining it breaks POSIX. That does not bother me that much. What does is that their changes are weakly documented and some of them make systems very hard to debug.

He's saying that about "real radicals". I'm not really following fringe radical left movements, but it wouldn't surprise me that if people who wanted to see our world demolishedn existed in there. There were such people in Russia before the October Revolution, or in China, or in Cambodia... The resentful, manipulative and power-hungry radical left was a major fixture in the recent history and I don't see a reason for why they'd suddently stop existing.

The ‘Fire’ movement and the trouble with penny pinching
School is the most authoritarian experience one typically experiences in a democracy. Here is a place where a strict hierarchy is enforced, through means of parental and peer pressure, anxiety over your future. Your schedule is planned by the minute, even peeing requires an authorization. Chatting is banned except on very limited time spans.

The fact that we have kept a part of middle-age inside our modern societies keeps fascinating and frightening me.

It's expect many people to have these questions:

Why did you start? Why have you continued?

What's your current setup? Are you happy with it? What's your routine?

Where do you shower, use the toilet, and do laundry?

What part of the world are you in? Any legal/climate/social challenges?
>It seems like this ruling destroys the clarity of "consent" and replaces it with "(consent AND balanced relationship) OR (imbalanced relationship AND legally adequate reason AND prior approval from regulator AND consent)"

Consent is not always necessary, nor is it always sufficient. If you rely on consent as a lawful basis for data processing, the burden of proof lies with you to demonstrate that such consent was informed and freely given. The authors of the GDPR were fully aware of the fact that coerced consent was rampant, with stuff like shrinkwrap agreements, incomprehensible terms and conditions and "by entering these premises, you consent to give us your first-born son"; as a result, consent is very tightly regulated under GDPR. As a rule of thumb, ask whether a data subject could a) refuse consent without any repercussions and b) would not be surprised by any aspect of your processing; if you aren't certain that both a & b are true, you probably can't rely on consent.

https://gdpr-info.eu/art-6-gdpr/

The school already had a means of collecting attendance data that didn't involve constant video surveillance and had a far lower risk of misuse and security breaches. They didn't need consent to take the register, because it was justified under Art. 6 (1c, d and e). They relied on consent as a lawful basis for the facial recognition scheme, even in a situation where it would be difficult for the data subjects to refuse consent and where the data subjects would be unlikely to understand the full extent of the data processing and the risks that they would be exposed to as a result. Using consent in that way is very much contrary to the spirit of the regulations.

>If parents are in an imbalanced situation regarding school attendance, then pretty much all government relationships are imbalanced.

Yes, absolutely.
This jives with what I've seen from blancolirio, MentourPilot and others sources. The pilots should've had memory items to disable automation control of trim for the duration of the flight rather than all electric control of trim (including yoke-mounted switches), because aerodynamic forces were too large and altitude was too low to manually spin the trim wheels. I do hope Ralph Nader sues the pants off Boeing for murdering his goddaughter through negligent homicide. The FAA is also culpable for failing to oversee self-certification properly and getting too cozy (regulatory capture) with Boeing. As a consequent, equipment models including the whole line of 737 NG (-600 to -900; 2010 Ducommun structural parts scandal), 787 Dreamliner failures and 737 Max 8 and 9 are models I would not step foot on without a gun to my head.

In seriousness, not all metro areas have seen the same huge rise in rents and property values. I can personally vouch that the Baltimore-DC region offers relatively high paying jobs and housing that is adorable given those incomes. I've heard San Antonio, TX is also good on the jobs to housing costs front.
It is not “practically impossible” for individuals to set up their own email servers with good deliverability. I run my own and emails get delivered to my intended receivers all the time. If you want email to become more distributed someone ought to come along to make a Helm that isn't so expensive.

You just have to make the protocol sticky enough and distributed enough so one corp doesn't wield Total Control.

I fully understand your point that GDPR hasn't been good for investment or startups, and that that the likelihood of a startup succeeding to reach sustainability in the european field has significantly diminished. What I'm rejecting is that that's necessarily an undesirable state of affairs. Does the world really need the likes of Blur or DiscountMugs to succeed, when they have proven woefully incapable of protecting the most basic forms of user data?

The tech economy seeing such upheaval right now could be construed as a signal demonstrating how dependent it was on fundamentally unhealthy and untenable data practices that were previously endemic to the industry.

I'm sorry that you have had to spend a tonne of money to attain GDPR compliance. I imagine most "incumbents" have had to spend a good deal as well; I can only hope that the next generation of companies have learnt from your company's mistakes and to structure their data processes from day 1 to avoid accruing such sensitive data in the first place.

At any rate - a tech sector is possible. A thriving one, that can sustain as much employment? Maybe not quite, there'd have to be some adjustments; but the people would be better off. A tech sector with the same market cap? Unlikely, but we need to get over ourselves and question if preserving the techocracy's wealth is more important here.

I just went away, learned all about RxJS, and then about Connective, and I think I'm in love.

This is a simple, pure, and elegant way of expressing complex systems. The site makes a whole lot more sense when you catch up with the reactive paradigm and see what RxJS does and what Connective provides that it doesn't.

I'll use this for my next project.
What it doesn’t mention is that a Big Mac is really a combination of a product (the price of which should be roughly constant) and the service of cooking and serving it (which is priced relative to local labor and real-estate rates).

If you look at the price of pure products, like barrels of oil, there is little Penn effect.

Since I was a teenager I never asked to pee or drink in school. I just got up and told them: „I’m going to pee now.“

I see these things as my basic human rights. And nobody should accept having them restricted.

In the country where I live the school has the authority by law to be more restrictive and enforce their own rules. Which I see as necessary to some point. But I think we should teach kids and teenagers to make decisions on their own and take responsibility for their actions. And not just enforce arbitrary rules.
I think you mean 4kb rather than 4 bytes
I just saw this. Thanks for the reply and the advice. I'll try to follow your advice. I think I'm a bit too hot-headed sometimes and I forget to read my own comments as if they were someone else's comments replying to myself. Also, I'm certainly carrying along bad conversation habbits from other internet forums that didn't try as hard as HN to cultivate reasonable debate.

I'm actually annoyed at myself about this, so I'm definitely trying to remember to be more careful in my comments. Your level-headed moderation is a great help in that, thanks.

I have to say something though- curiosity is only one side of the coin (the coin being the pursuit of knowledge, I guess). The other half is passion. Passion is what causes heated debate, but it's also what causes people to debate in the first place. I think it's a hard balance to strike and we will all need an adult in the room, to help focus our conversations, for a long time to come. Probably not what you want to hear though :)
Oi! Thanks for this. Really great work. Forms and Data tables are two major sore points for me in react land. I've been wanting to see something with json schema other than the mozilla project (which as you said, has weird dependencies).

Any reason for not building around react-final-form as a basis? So far, I've found that one to be my favorite. Zero dependencies and tiny (especially compared with the alternatives).

Basically - if a school can't rely upon consent from children - nobody can.

I think that is a fairly well established legal principle. In many places, a contract cannot be enforced against a minor no matter whether it was freely entered. Statutory rape laws say it doesn't matter if the minor consented. And so on . . .
Are you well paid or well off?
Yes well I'm talking about chopping trees down and building homes out of them (and enough homes for a civilization). No doubt smaller sticks and loose timber could be used, that's how man mastered fire in the first place. But chopping whole trees probably didn't happen much until after metal.
The problem is not so much that we are causing species loss at a higher than average rate, it‘s more the we are causing species loss at a higher rate than the end-permian extinction event (which no land animal with an adult body mass over 25kg survived).

Life will recover from the anthropocene over the next few million or so years even if we continue business as usual. It will just not be a world I want to die out in.
The great Pacific garbage patch is still out there. I like this passive solution (https://theoceancleanup.com/technology/).

> Now you might say, "but how about email"? Well, first of all, email is an oligopoly and it's practically impossible for individuals to set up their own servers and expect their emails to get delivered all of the time.

I do it and it works well. My advice is to try it before you dismiss it as impossible.

Regarding your overall point, this is partly a social/cultural problem. There's no inherent reason why people would not search for the protocol and not the monopolistic application nor why multiple "best" application could not co-exist. After all, not everyone has the same use case so different applications can specialize to catering for different use cases.

The idea of protocols needs to become more mainstream and ingrained into the minds of common people and this is why essays like these are important.

I'm sorry but we've been using fossil fuels for over 130 years at this point and best estimates are that we have at least 100 years of untapped reserves. At 5 million to one that would imply we've already burned through the Jurassic, Mesozoic, and Triassic periods. This of course, is false or we wouldn't have so many reserves being discovered all the time.

Wow that is cool, how did they do it? Did they use a machine similar to that in the article?
I was referring to the maximum fine. It is 4% of global revenues, or 20M EUR, whichever is greater. So the maximum fine would wipe out any business that doesn’t happen to have 20M EUR lying around - that might be 1000% of what they have, but the damage to a large business is capped at 4% of their revenue regardless of how egregious the behavior. That kind of a fine structure has only one possible purpose: it was specifically designed to be able to decimate small businesses while being a minor speed bump for any large business. The ultimate effect is the consolidation of power into the hands of handful of large companies.

The Egyptians used ramps to set the obelisks in place, and used fill & ramps to build the columns. It isn't a great stretch to think they would have used ramps for the pyramids. The size needed was huge, but they were building something monumental already, and it was certainly feasible.

Nanotubes Replicate Asbestos-Induced Mesotheliom
People like to act like the GDPR is this complicated and draconian law, but it is not. At its simplest, it says, don't collect data with out a really good reason, and when you do collect it, handle it safely and properly, including deleting it as soon as it is no longer necessary. I would have thought the HN community would generally be in favour of that.
I have a relatively simple use case, but I get around this by having all my folders in Dropbox and setting up symlinks outside Dropbox that point to the folders in Dropbox.

If you want to sync default MacOS folders that you can't delete in Finder (Pictures, Movies etc.) you can delete them using sudo in terminal and recreate them as symlinks. I've even done that with Desktop (I just keep plain text files there) and it's been working fine for a few years now.
That defeats the purpose, no?

You are wrong, in the ad absurdum extrapolation in this thread that using a phone for navigation is illegal in “all of Europe”.

You presumably meant EU, a part but not all of Europe, but that too is wrong. For example, the law in the Czech Republic, a member state of EU, states that it forbidden to hold a phone (or other handheld device), in hand or otherwise (e.g. between shoulder and ear) while driving (§ 125c / 1f) 1. z. č. 361/2000 Sb.).

Handheld devices probably are illegal to use while driving in all of EU while being (hand)held, but absolutely not when mounted and used in the same manner as car’s builtin display. It may be the case in some country, but is not true generally.
Show HN: Freshlytics – open-source privacy-friendly analytics
Disclosure: I used to work at Atlassian. I've been reading HN for years without an account but this one triggered me to comment.

I suffered burnout there. I had the misfortune of working as an "SRE" at Atlassian. The reality was you spent your days, nights, and weekends dealing with major incidents.

I do not know if it was a conscious strategy, but it would seem the approach taken to reduce organizational wide pager fatigue and burnout from out of hours work was to concentrate it on a few.

(My guess is that it was conscious, as that best explains why my cries for help whilst falling on seemingly sympathetic ears, yielded no changes.)
We should have some more common script for telling a colleague "that you for writing this code. It has clarified the problem a lot." as we delete the code.

Its hard because while we do recognize that the value and difficulty is in the problem-understanding, the code is the most tangible thing we produce and so it feels like the work.
Primary reason for me to pay for Dropbox is symlinked files that act as a backup and remote file access.
We're talking about monetised, profitable, video content aimed at children.

These other companies can manage it.

YouTube can't, but importantly YouTube wants it both ways - they want to include content that targets children without providing any of the protection that parents expect.

And that expectation isn't unreasonable. We don't want parents who helicopter every waking hour of their children's lives, we want to give parents some freedoms to allow their children to explore and grow.
the obsession with phone numbers is crazy, we should stop to use them as ID
That's too bad, thanks for the heads up. I use symlinks for the figures of my LaTeX papers, the actual figure resides with the scripts and data that generate the figure (many GBs usually) and in Dropbox I only have very lightweight text files and symlinks. That way I know my figures are always up to data with the data when compiling.
The use case for wasm is basically doing cpu/memory intencive work in a worker process. In order to use wasm for UI you need lots of glue and ducttape, and the end result will be something using 2d canvas.
Well if we're still talking about "advanced civilization" like Mesopotamia, I can definitely see climate change causing a gradual collapse. I still doubt it was possible to have a large city prior to metallurgy and agriculture. Maybe megafauna was abundant enough that it could support that but it seems like a stretch.
Those are not counter examples, but entrepreneurship extremes. They just succeeded at first try (right time and place) while others either worked hard for long time or simply tried and failed few times.

I don't feel like the study shows something spectacular. Middle-age is the peak of performance, mental and physical health. Everything one created for himself is best seen at this peak and usually people start thinking what to do for the rest of their lives. Middle-age is not usually a time when you start having wild dreams.
