Whenever I am ready to move jobs, I have 2-3 recruiter chats/phone screens per day on top of my normal job as well as some time researching potential employers. I've never joined a company that's given a project because it makes the process slower, it takes more energy and time (during a period where those are typically in short supply), and it's really hard to find multiple uninterrupted periods of time for a project compared to a timeboxed phone call or onsite.

I'm not against projects in concept and I've never complained about them to my point of contact, but they make the process slower (your process takes about twice as much of my time as everyone else's) and less exciting. Every other step of the recruiting process is really fun - talking to people about their company and the work they do, but a project is just homework that I have to do alone after work or on the weekend. I've really liked some companies that gave me a project, but I struggled to find time and then I got to the offer stage much faster with other companies that I also liked, at which point its hard to find the motivation to complete the project knowing that it isn't even the final step.

While you say you never lost a candidate due to the project, I would challenge you to consider whether you lost candidates due to the perception (fair or not) that your process was less enjoyable and more time-consuming than your competitors' and so candidates received and accepted other offers first.
Just an FYI. Every company talks about the great culture, work life balance, competitive pay and excellent benefits they offer. Jobseekers have to assume you are lying about those things, because most of your colleagues are. (this is why I suspect firms like new collage grads, they haven't learned that you have to give a price for a 50 - 70 hour week even though "overtime is rare") You can't really know how a company really is until you have spent some time and worked through a crisis or two. I used to think I worked at a great place, then the day my daughter was born I received dozens of slack messages and phone calls about testing environments and people were legitimately upset that I spent time with my daughter on her first day on earth rather than help them with their poor planning that could and did wait for me to get back.

Wanting me to jump through a bunch of performative hoops makes me assume you are in the "call you on the day of your daughters birth" camp.
I'm 38. It only gets harder. I'm glad that I read/learned/experienced a whole lot in my early 20s, so that at least I have that broad background of history, economics, finance, culture, etc. to draw on now that most of my attention is split between my kid, marriage, and startup and reading ~5 books/year is much more likely than reading ~5 books/week.

(It does remain possible, though, and I'd like to think that I haven't totally stagnated in my learning.)
We also did similar take homes that at most should take an hour or two if someone really went overboard. I was amazed at what was returned. It wouldn’t compile or the candidate didn’t follow simple directions. I called it our version of a take home fizz buzz.
Probably someone from mercurial community also do the same for mercurial. My guess with python api's it will be a much easier job.

Another advantage of developing close to plain HTML is that you’re free from the js next-shiny-thing hamster wheel.

For example, I had thought Gatsby was the hip way to create static sites in 2019. Then another comment here mentioned it’s Next.js now.
>If you commit a violent crime, bad on you. If you leave DNA behind, you're stupid. The first deserves punishment; taken together doubly so.

You aren't more deserving of punishment for being stupid. What kind of insane moral system do you follow?

>You're shedding DNA right now through exfoliation,

And I'd prefer that law enforcement not be able to track me everywhere I go because the risk of getting caught up in an investigation is too high.

The criminal justice system has serious flaws and I'd rather not be wrongly implicated just because I happened to shed DNA near where a crime happened.
Yeah, but you’re helping to get the world off of oil.
Came to this thread hoping to find a shoutout to 2600. Am not disappointed. 2600 in its heyday was a beautiful hodgepodge of technoanarchy that was a balm to my teenage soul.
I don’t think that was the implication. It’s that Tesla is focused on hitting the high order bits and so has earned a little forgiveness about smaller things.
Classes are fine! Inheritance isn't. You can mostly avoid using it, though.

JS lacks homoiconicity and thus can't have a lot of nice things a Lisp dialect would, notably macros.

With what we've got, I have more hope on JS eventually migrating towards a (more) statically typed language with ML influence; typescript sort of leans towards it, slowly.
So what would you rather buy?
I wonder if this kind of control over dreams can be used to do real work while dreaming (you just have to remember the solution and write it down when you wake up).

Thanks for the link! That sounds like something Apple will likely fix in short order... :\
Though I wouldn't mind CarPlay in my Model 3, the custom system Tesla has is just as good, or better than it. It is generations ahead of anything built into other vehicles, even luxury ones.
Thank goodness! This whole situation has been crazy.

> I don't think the evil caricature is an accurate description of the CCP

Have a read of a summary of John Garnaut's talk to the Australian Parliament on "Engineers of the Human Soul":

https://sinocism.com/p/engineers-of-the-soul-ideology-in

He posits that Stalin -> Mao -> Xi consider that everything must serve the State: culture, the arts, etc. Obviously that would include people. So Xi Jinping Thought (recently written into the constitution) has people serving the state. In fact, not only their bodies, but their artistic expression belongs not to them but to the state. The CCP doesn't physically enslave people, it enslaves them through fear. People are theoretically free to choose not serve, but they risk bad things for themselves and their family. On top of this, they claim to serve the people (but instead the people serve them), so they are living out a lie. To maintain the deception they have to control what people know about the world, hence the Great Firewall. If you value liberty, honesty, or free expression, I think being nearly forcibly deprived of them could qualify as evil.

Now imagine a society where no one is truly free to think for themselves, where your neighbors can potentially turn you in (= can't trust people close to you), where the arts are limited to the party line. It kind of deprives society of the best of humanity (trust/community, wealth of ideas, innovative arts). That could qualify as evil.

But hey, China is strong, prosperous (in terms of money), and seemingly unified. I do believe that the CCP is doing what it thinks is best for China, but creating a cultural dystopia in exchange for outward wealth and strength seems like a bad bargain. If they created cultural wealth I bet outward wealth and strength would show up naturally.

No one is trying to bait you into anything. But when you make an extraordinary claim, you need to provide some supporting evidence. Obviously you care whether or not people believe what you wrote to some extent, otherwise why did you take the time to write it at all?

Not quite. Abstraction layers like min.io support versioning. More importantly, Quilt manifests only require a "fully qualified physical key" that points to the data. In theory, the manifest can work with any URI: S3, local disk, etc.

No, I generally spend more time here outdoors. Mostly because spring/summer/autumn has a greater portion of time where being outdoors is easy, versus a shorter period in the UK.

On top of that though, I'm spending less time in built-up/shaded areas just because there's fewer of them to be found here.

Did you pay income tax on that interview? Did they withhold taxes on that payment and issue it via payroll? Genuinely curious, but I suspect the answer is ‘no’ on both counts which might explain why this approach is less popular.
I am curious about the actual false positive rate and how they compound. To use your hypothetical number, if the false positive rate is one in a million per test, if law enforcement tests your DNA sample against 700,000 samples from crime scenes, there is a 50% chance at least one of them will be a match due to false positive [1]. That is much scarier than what one in a million suggests.

[1] (1 - 1e-6) ^ 700,000 = 49.6 % chance of no false positive match
They're already in my hosts, but I'd use it.
> right around the corner from DNA being writable

Why bother when it's trivial to copy existing DNA? The evildoer just needs to get a tiny sample from someone who'd made a decent frame.

Sure, then you've got the problem of how to create a DNA-bearing artifact that'll fool forensics -- a spilled puddle of pure chromosomes would be weird -- but that'd be true in either case.
I believe rsync is the utility you are looking for.
I think it is enough like a phone or tablet, that people make the leap and expect things to evolve and be fixed with the same rapidity.

And they probably would if the sales volumes and customer upgrade timeframes were anywhere NEAR what they were for phones and tablets.

Teslas do not currently detect speed limit signs at all. They work off a database which gets updated from time to time.

Several streets near my home have had speed limits changed since I got my Tesla, and it sometimes takes months for the database to catch up.

Already seeing people screenshot hidden replies and tweeting with "gee I wonder why this person hid this reply lol" type messages.

I'm skeptical this will have the civilizing effect they hoped for.
You can consider it a bad thing, but 1) it's a really thin layer on top of prototypical inheritance, 2) it makes JavaScript more accessible to people who are used to conventional styles of language, and 3) it won, indisputably.

ClojureScript didn't win, and never had a chance to win, because it's written for the small minority of Clojure people. It wasn't written for the overwhelming majority of developers. TypeScript was. So sorry that the existence of those day-to-day programmers puts a crimp in your utopia, but, enh. Personally, I'm glad we have tools to make it easier to write libraries to help that majority be more productive and to make their code safer and more correct!
This is to me seems like a very counterintuitive “feature” — at least on paper. Hiding tweets seems akin to telling the whole world, “here are tweets from my critics I dislike so much I’m going out of my way to suppress them”. At least when you report, block, or mute someone, no one else knows that you were bothered (or, as trolls like to say, “triggered”).

It’s not the same like being downvoted on HN or reddit, where the vote to suppress is a community/crowd decision. If Taylor Swift hides a tweet, you are inherently curious to know what rando’s tweet managed to hurt or anger Swift (or her social media minder).

That said, while Twitter seems to be incredibly slow at introducing new features, the trade off is that what they do push out often ends up being a good thing. The survey evidence cited in the article seems flimsy, but I give Twitter some benefit of the doubt that they wouldn’t push an obviously destructive feature.
It's the single biggest change the average individual can have.

Climate change isn't going to be solved by lots of individual actions. The whole planet could go vegan overnight and we're still doomed.

If we're going to have any meaningful impact on climate change, we need to deal with it on a total war footing.

But that's not going to happen.
How did you come to this conclusion? I’m an owner, and frequent various forums, and have never had these complaints, and can not recall seeing them. That’s not to say that they don’t exist, but I question your assertions here.

I’m sorry you feel I was arrogant.

I really do want to hire people “that I like and wanted to work with” though. I would hope most managers do.

FWIW we never technically interviewed internal transfers inside Google (we counted on Google’s normal interview process to maintain the bar). We were just looking for team fit in those discussions.

I’m disappointed you would belittle bootcamp graduates. Many of them are awesome, and we were lucky enough to hire one amazing one. And yes he did have a “history of working on challenging problems with real deliverables”, just not the CS kind in this case.
I have no reason to doubt either of you, but let's suppose that we take your numbers as correct.

Doesn't that still mean that more people are dying in car accidents than in homicides? It looks like a minimum of twice as many. (Might be a little fuzzy though because if someone is killed by someone who used a car as the murder weapon, does that get categorized as only a homicide? Only a motor vehicle fatality? Or both? I don't really know.)

It depends on how much money customers will pay you as opposed to the amount of money you will pay for skyscanner API access.
Yes, exactly. A lot of people don't do a good job communicating this sort of thing. It helps to have someone else ask you what's blocking your progress.
The ROI is probably low on the LeetCode hard questions. Most people that can solve LeetCode easy, plus have some sense of Design Patterns (so you know they can think big picture too)-- and you've got yourself a good candidate.

For me, it's mainly that I'm happier, more energized, and more focused. I can point to collaboration effects, but really that's less important for my personal productivity I think.

Just to be clear: I'm not saying an open office is right for everyone. If an open office isn't right for you, then you should be able to work in a private space. I'm just asking that you offer me the same courtesy. There's no reason we have to force everyone to work in the same style of office, when everyone has different working styles.
Well, hold on. Let's not scapegoat another team for the fact that we can't seem to handle relative paths well after 30 years of spectacular case studies in how fucking stupid we are with path calculations.

I'm always finding people doing string arithmetic instead of using the APIs. Sometimes I catch myself doing it.

Rails got close to a solution by half-assedly tracking the provenance of all strings passed into certain functions. We could probably use a bit more of that.
Much needed to detoxicate Twitter itself.
The cynic in me thinks they leaked names, addresses, and credit card numbers but not the CVV number. Without the CVV it's not technically possible to make charges, so it would not be a lie.

I think it's been clear since Equifax that private data can't be used to prove identity. I honestly wish the hacker behind that attack just gave away the entire dataset to the public. It would have stung a little at first, but it would have saved society a ton of time and money on the long run.

Something to hide?
There's no real answer to this question without detailed specs. Even then you would only get a rough estimate.

But Let's say you got a very inexpensive developer say $50/hr for 3 months at 40 hours/week that's 480 hr so it's $24,000 for the 3 months. 3 months would get you a very simple app which would serve as an MVP. At best you can use it to get investors to continue with the development.

Putting together an app is expensive and setting up the business to go with it is even more expensive. Good luck!
Experiments with mice have shown that if you shock mice at certain times during sleep, their fear conditioning will change. https://academic.oup.com/sleep/article/26/5/527/2707886 This seems to indicate that sleep acts like an unsupervised learning reinforcer.

Sleep might be required for a certain level of consciousness.

A consideration I didn't yet see mentioned in the comments: announcing rules like this might allay concerns some people have about submitting their DNA to databases, thereby increasing participation (and business).

The resulting increased participation is then subject to a number of major pros and cons for the individual and society -- now, and in the future.

> That's called a SAFE FOLLOWING DISTANCE.

Hi. Safe following distance is the distance required to safely stop at whatever speed you are going. At a typical speed of 90km/hr (that's usually when this "feature" gets engaged - slowing me to 10km/hr under the limit because that's what someone in front of me is doing), the safe stopping distance is around 80-90 meters (perception+braking in good conditions). The shortest follow distance setting I seemed able to find was around double this distance.

tl;dr: I do not find that the adaptive cruise control is engaged at a safe following distance. Indeed, I think it makes me less safe as a driver, because it slows me down arbitrarily without any visual or auditory notification.
Code challenges like this are interesting - thank you for putting this together!

I do have a question about the set-up, if that's alright. Netflix and others have found that shared tasks can lead to great models, but not necessarily ones that are suited for use in a production environment. Have you put much thought into how best to set up a challenge such at this to make the obvious "ensemble everything" solution be less worthwhile?

Similarly, have you put much thought into how to encourage the sharing of information between participants?

Thanks again.
Bullshit.

I had a fraudulent charge on my bank account via a “demand draft” (essentially a check without my signature). Yes, I had to spend significant time resolving the issue: going to the bank, having them insist they needed to close my account and reopen a new one, plus changing all my ACH drafts. But, I was very angry with the bank, because their proposed solution caused me hassle and doesn’t protect me from whatever attack vector compromised my account. They would not let me have them refuse to honor such instruments without prior authorization, either.

And, this was over a $40 charge. Had it been $4000, I wouldn’t have been any less angry with them for failing to protect me.
