At my current workplace we also administer a technical test. It is designed to take less than 15 minutes and this is communicated when it is sent out.

It consists of a small chunk of code in Java/C#/Go or otherwise that has some obvious and other not so obvious mistakes. The candidate is asked to point out any issues they see in the code.

It takes them 15 minutes to do and about 15 minutes to review the response, which I feel values time on both sides.

I don't disagree with you wrt the current state of affairs, I just find it rather sad.
One thing I realized now after thinking about the impact of DNA databases is the long-term impact. We already live in a world where law enforcement and the criminal justice system as a whole can be biased for or against different kinds of people depending on race, gender, background, sexual orientation, sexual identity, and wealth. If law enforcement is able to collect DNA samples and store the DNA of those who are convicted, then they could do statistical analysis on the genetic make-up of criminals by crime. Some people already have concerns about insurance companies getting access to their DNA and discriminating against them using increased prices or refusing to insure them all together. Similar analysis could be used by law enforcement and governments to monitor and apprehend people they suspect might have a higher probability commit a crime. Again, law enforcement already pulls over certain groups of people while they are out driving more often than others without repercussions.

Improper use of both DNA databases and statistical analysis can realistically be used to bring about the rise of something that I’ve only ever read about: pre-crime. That we live in a time where big data gets bigger, mass surveillance becomes evermore inescapable, politics more divisive, and government more powerful yet less accountable just makes this one possible but extremely powerful tool of oppression.

It seems a bit like Motte and Bailey Doctrine[1].

The motte is relatively easy to defend... Richard isn't the most charming guy and comes off as a creep, so he shouldn't be a leader. But it's not the most persuasive argument.

The bailey is hard to defend... the various misinterpretations of Richard's email. Despite these interpretations being wrong, they're emotionally persuasive. If someone uses logic against them, the antagonist can always retreat to the motte.

Man, such hate in this thread. I, for one, am glad that someone is throwing serious money at consolidating VR experiences into a single world. I love what Rec Room has done there and I would certainly enjoy a new iteration. If it's too invasive or no fun, I'll delete it after trying. For now, I'm glad we're still moving forward in the VR space instead of it going the way of 3DTV.

I personally believe texting while driving to be the main issue.

The number of times I’ve seen people cars swivel around on the highway texting can’t be counted.

If I’m driving with someone and I see cars behave erratic I usually bet the driver is texting. Mostly they are and it’s just too obvious - it’s for some reason a specific pattern to it. I can’t be alone in noticing this?

Interesting phallacy.. a form of circular self-referencing argumentum ab auctoritate.
I evaluated Gatsby, among other solutions, for our company's website. We use React in production for a large application, nothing new there, but for a static site, I thought it had an overly-complicated build pipeline. In the end, we went with Hugo[1], never regretted, huge fan of static site generators and Netlify CMS[2].

About raising that series A, I hope they have a bigger plan in mind than hosting sites or yet another CMS. If the vision is the "reinvent" the way we work on static sites, I respect that, but I don't see a business case there.

It actually isn’t a rigorous grammar. Something like Coq or Agda or Mathematica is, but traditional maths notation is full of ambiguities and unclearness that we’re just used to.

I'm coming at this from the other side, but as you note, it'll be very interesting to see how it plays out. As a consumer, I don't care what the original poster thinks I should see - they may not even be someone I follow if I click a retweet for example, and if anything, seeing what someone wants to hide is much more interesting. It's a net negative from my end because now I have to click more to see the actual content but I am far to cynical to assume that's anything more than an attempt to drive engagement metrics!
You need to know JS to use Gatsby, so... seems like development to me?
It is difficult to predict how people react with limited information. I think hypothesis for this change was "well being might improve but we're not sure" and at the same time "engagement might drop because there might be folks out there who enjoy collecting likes and this makes it less fun but we're not sure". And it's hard to tell what the results will look like based purely on speculation.

I don't know what makes you certain you know the answers even though you've looked at none of the data. Do you have some other sources?

There are good reasons for layer 3 addresses to be network interface specific.
In fact, that is how layer 3 is supposed to work. After all, each interface is potentially connected to acdifferent network. Hence, routing to those interfaces is different, and layer 3 is about routing.

The mistake instead is that TCP is not fully layer 4. They are entangled with layer 3. Specifically, a TCP socket is defined by an (IP, port) pair. Where the IP is layer 3. As such, it is fundamentally impossible to persist a TCP connection accross multiple IPs.

There is no reason for this. If instead a socket were identified as (uuid, port) then after I change my ip address, I can continue receiving packets sent to (uuid, port). And the other side will still recognize packets from me, because only my IP changed, not the connection uuid.

You'd maybe need to add some spoofing defenses, but we need those in current TCP too.
Home felt kind of pointless, but originally it was going to integrate with the trophy system in a pretty cool way.

« And don’t use the same word repeatedly — it’s boring. »

This is dangerous advice, and not just because (as others have noted) it can add ambiguity.

Finding alternatives to the simplest word for a concept will often narrow the audience. For a simple example, if I decide I've written "Venus" too many times and substitute "the second planet", I'm unnecessarily making it more difficult for people who don't happen to know the order of the planets.

True. I was sure I missed at least one, probably several. But even a giant like Samsung doesn't seem to be able to make a well-known success story with using Android.
Fully agree. This is one of the biggest mistakes that was made in the early days of TCP/IP, with far reaching consequences (such as breaking multihoming, but also for instance increasing routing table sizes).

In Ouroboros (our recursive network implementation: https://ouroboros.rocks/), we only identify the interface once (MAC address). Addresses are contained within each recursive network layer, and identify a specific process at each layer (similar to how an IP address should actually identify the host).
My parent's have been a subscriber to Nature for a while. They accomplish this goal (communication to different audiances) very effectively.

In the early pages, there's a brief summary taking up about a quarter of the page.

Later, A 1-3 page article. Often the issue will contain multiple papers on the same subject, this article is a simple-english aggregation of those subjects.

The research papers themselves are published later on.

For example, Nature published two recent papers on the determination of the Thorium nucleus's excited state. The papers themselves would have meant very little without a physics degree or some serious determination, but the accompanying article explains all aspects of the papers well. It explains the context (why are these papers significant), how the two papers relate to each other and the broader implications.

Having read the article, it's then much easier to comprehend the contents of the paper. Not easy, but easier.

Nature's not cheap (£198 a year), and it comes weekly which may be faster than most people can read it, but as a means of communicating the absolute cutting edge of all sciences I commend it.
It's not a useful signal about if they are a good employer, but it is a good signal for how likely they are to hire you: asking everyone who applies to take several hours out of their life to do your test is free. Having someone from your team interview them for several hours very much is not so you'll be more careful selecting candidates you might actually hire instead of just taking a shotgun approach.

I know nothing about C# so please pardon my ignorance but how does:

provide more protection vs

CopyFile(src: srcPath, dest: dstPath);

Assuming that both path strings are set correctly isn't a typo here going to cause the same error and be just as visible?

e.g.

new FileInfo(pathA).CopyTo(pathB);
CopyFile(src: pathB, dest: pathA);

neither would seem to show which is correct without knowing what the path values are if the variable names are ambiguous.
