>The alternative is interview coding tests

There are many more ways of organizing hiring, all working fine in other industries (with tradeoffs, of course). To name a few:

- Guilds with an an entry filter that guarantees competence, often associated with apprenticeship.

- Wide open hiring for short term engagements, retention of only those who fit best.

- Hiring directly based on referral from other known-competent professionals who can vouch, with no or minimal interview stage.

- Work sample tests.

There are good reasons why some of these don't fit tech so well. Software is impossible to estimate, so you can't plan short term engagements as effectively as in show business. Software is highly collaborative and context dependent, and the results are often secret, so independent work samples aren't as realistic or available as in film. Etc. But mainly we can't have these things because the community is pathologically incapable of trust. Even people who believe in each other's competence will not believe in each other's certifications of a 3rd party's competence. That particular dysfunction is not universal, and doesn't have to stay. But knowing us, it will.

"It's not so much about them being closely related. Rather it's the idea that a mind so distant from my own, that lived a life so alien from my own drew that. I find that deeply fascinating."

Well, genetically they were not much different, close enough for interbreeding.

But their mind ... and culture was probably very alien to us.
I am with you. I was just triggered by your unflattering, though probably accurate enough, characterization of the male psyche.
This is good if you want to invest in BRK.A.
I was a VB developer when that all went down. VB didn't fall out of favor, Microsoft killed it.

When .NET came along MS replaced "classic" VB with VB.NET, which was syntactically just different enough from classic VB to make moving to it a big project.

Worse, VB.NET wasn't backwards-compatible with classic VB, so you couldn't just bring your old projects into the new environment; you had to rewrite them from the ground up in the new syntax.

Worse still, to encourage VB devs to move to VB.NET, Microsoft stopped selling licenses for classic VB. Not "warned developers they would stop selling licenses in five years" or the like, mind. They just stopped. If you wanted to buy a license for VB, it was VB.NET or nothing. Which, when you considered that VB.NET wouldn't run all your old code, was kind of terrifying.

All of which amounted to dropping a nuclear bomb on the VB community, as it pushed everyone into doing what someone (I think Joel Spolsky) once called "the dreaded market survey." In other words, if you're going to have to learn a whole new language in a hurry anyway, why not consider all the new languages available to you?

So while a few classic VB devs did move to VB.NET, most ended up landing elsewhere; some to C#, some to web application platforms like ColdFusion, some to open-source languages like Perl, etc. (I went to Perl, which led me to PHP, which led me to Python.) What had been one of the world's largest programming communities was scattered to the four winds overnight.
I like the idea of Jung's "Collective Unconscious" and think about it as ephemeral culture seems to briefly stabilize. Looking up popular keywords from search engines is one approach for understanding mass movements about what people are paying attention to. While I don't feel that art should be automated, or even rigorously formalized, that does not appear to be what is happening here. Instead, these writers rooms still have to go through the interpretive process, applying the same mundane thought processes to make anything really work.
To be fair, reagent uses it's own implementation that satisfy atom protocol. And it uses some funky magic with keeping derefs and triggering rerenders. In principle, as atom is idiomatic Clojure, setState is idiomatic javascript. ratoms and hooks both add some sugar to it.
The handbrake isn't only for parking. It's also useful on hills when you would roll backwards from a stop.

I think this is a good lay-person's introduction to basis of Kolmogorov's length scale, specifically the Reynold's number: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtIhVwPruwY
This isn't a popular sentiment on HN but a lot of software jobs (even at trendy fast-moving startups) are a form of busywork. Once you get to a certain number of devs, accountability slides and it's entirely possible you'll have nothing to work on. Meetings are dominated by more senior-level devs whose work is important, and so management quotas are the only reason you're even still around.

How you react to this depends on your personality I think -- some people I know love this and are happy to sit in a corner desk and watch youtube videos for a paycheck. That won't work for me so I'll usually scratch and claw for something to do (establishing my reputation as a whiny non-team-player in the process), be given some task which often is a weird platform-specific bug that nobody else wanted, and I'll spend my time hunting that down, become emotionally drained in the process of trying to get anyone else to care about it, and then I'll spend my free time coding in order to make sure I'm growing as an engineer.

I figure this is kinda what life is like until you're a little more advanced in your career and from asking around other people at my level feel the same across many different organizations.
I get it, you want to be up to date all the time, but often the case is that lib is just done, it does what it says it does, so that is why lib was last updated x years ago.
Agreed! Stunts was one of my go-to driving games. Driving was fun, track making was fun. Playing against crazy characters like Bernie Rubber or Helen Wheels was great. Heck, the music was great too.
Which differences. There is the genitalia that nobody argues with. Likewise testosterone differences.

Pretty much everything else isn't as clear cut. We know that more men than women go into STEM - but we don't know if it is because men fundamentally like those jobs better, or if it is because our culture makes it less acceptable for women to go into STEM. Often culture things are subtle and people will say things that do not match their actions.
I selected some examples because I don't want to be lost in abstraction, but please, I am asking kindly that you not focus on my examples (unless it's pressing) because the issue here is systemic. I'm not giving these examples for you to just retreat back with your head down and address them. The locus is more fundamental: the etiology for why these errors even exist and why there continue to be new ones all the time; all at great cost, perhaps even existential cost. You should be concerned with that bigger picture, surely.

Scores of other issues could have been cited, but I included the representation example having confidence you'd probably tout those exact experiments and respond with that blog post. Your conclusion at the time was that CBOR and JSON had negligible differences. The company then proceeded to de-prioritize any serious work in that direction while simultaneously ramping up efforts for end-to-end encryption by default. This was a flawed conclusion and it has demonstrably added to your tower of debt. Even my "hi" example is already passé because now that too is another giant base64 string adding to this jumble. You can't bolt Ferrari body panels on a Honda and call it a Ferrari.

I can spend all day citing issues just as poignant, and you might even be kind enough to elevate them against the ~10,000 other [github] issues they're contending with. I can spend all day unpacking the string of missteps leading to all of your engineering disasters. It's not going to have any returns- not for either of us. It doesn't root the problems.

If I could impress upon you some serious advice, it would be to value people less transactionally. Don't estimate a person's worth by how they fill a few open gaps in your grand master plan and then dispense with them as if they won't be filling in any more. Avoid that by valuing people by how they think, and then don't try to think like them yourself. Delegate to them instead.
I agree, A lot of the features in the list are things that should be implemented in the UI library / OS layer not in the specific application layer.
Curious: have you asked female managers if they have any grievances? How do you know that they don’t face ‘these problems’?

The carriers have the same data for dumbphones as well as smartphones, and I bet Verizon and AT&T are much more cooperative than Google and Apple with blanket requests.

If you care about that stuff, you should abandon carrying a phone--switching away from a smartphone is probably useless if not counterproductive.

I would think medicine falls under the science category.
The reason this is happening is becoming more clear. Despite what tech types like us believe and echo to each other on forums like HN, there is the reality of an apathetic environment in which most people live.

Most people, most content creators, most content consumers, most people in general, really don't give 2 mosquito dicks about any of the issues I think are important.

Privacy from the government? Nope. If you're not a crook, you've got nothing to fear.

Tech companies having too much info about you that they will share with the government? Ditto.

Nazis can't get free speech? Who cares. In fact, GOOD, I don't want that crap popping up on my kids' recommended list anyway. Good job YouTube!

Lately I have been beginning to understand the magnitude of the problem. Apathy is far more powerful than any government.

And the worst part of all? The only thing they have to do to fuel apathy is keep the trains running on time and keep the walmart/grocery store shelves stocked. That's all.

I'm becoming convinced that this problem is being attacked wrong. We need to stop talking about Nazis and politicians and start talking about some group that is actually respectable that may be shut out. I don't know off hand what that content would resemble. But I do know that almost no one likes politicians, nazis, and pedophiles. So it's making me believe that continuing to have those groups attaching themselves to our arguments is counterproductive at this point.
Sounds like an automatic in drive
I think most reader have this problem. The problem is that most of us just read and hope the information sticks. The trick is to not just read but to immediately recall and reflect on what you read. You also need to write down a summary of what you read. Yes, this will slow down the amount of books you read but you will retain much more.
I also it turns out have ~20 years of blog content. There's a bunch of gaps in the middle for various reasons of data loss (some of which were probably more useful than others), but beyond that I've tried to maintain as much as possible my internal links. At this point I have redirects in place to support link structures going back across two blog migrations (from a Drupal install to a custom Django blog to a much less custom Jekyll site). That's about where I feel my responsibility for link rot ends. I've done the best I can that if for some reason you find a /node/somerandomnumber link somewhere you still get redirected to whatever blog post that leads to even though I haven't used Drupal in over a decade. I've not been perfect in maintaining such redirects (there were some complex CMS sections I once had in Drupal I never bothered to migrate or became entirely new things; plus the aforementioned losses of data prior to that Drupal blog and whatever I'd managed to migrate into it from the other Drupal blog and crazier custom blogs that proceeded it, some of which back before blog was even a word), but I've tried my best. The onus the web asks for site admins is that we all collectively try our bests. It's not my responsibility to worry about external link rot out from my blog posts. I'll still lament it, as sometimes there are great losses, but I'm not the one that broke that link contract.

When I get a spammer asking me to fix a broken link I sometimes cry about whatever the web lost that they are bringing to my attention, but generally my only response is to suggest to the spammer that they file a Pull Request to my blog so I can more properly code review the suggested change. (Unsurprisingly, no spammer has actually bothered to take me up on that offer. It's unlikely I'd actually merge such a change in, but I'd love to see one try.)
Hm, that seems to me like projecting our ideas to a time and culture where they may not apply.

I rather think they have religious meaning.
Why doesn't Honda sell an as-needed "finder service" for say $200? They'd make some money without looking like a jerk. The $200 should probably be premised on actually finding the vehicle. Honda makes money, customer gets car back: a win-win. (It probably should be coordinated with the cops. Walking straight into a crook's den could be daunting.)
And, how does one prove you lied?
The recorded statement?
No. There is, by policy, rarely a recorded statement.
Rather, it's just your word vs. the agent's notes.
That's absurd.
How do you defend yourself when an FBI agent says you said X if (a) the agent, by policy, did not record your conversation and (b) if you dared surreptitiously record the conversation, it would be a separate crime?
Seconded!

I would also like to see some pedestrian bridges or tunnels that would allow walking commuters like me to cross our major streets (Mercer, Denny, Westlake, and Dexters) at any time. This, I strongly believe, could reduce traffic, make residential neighborhoods effectively closer to commercial areas (due to reduced walking time), and improve both vehicle and pedestrian safety. Bridges should be far less expensive than roads, and could be built very quickly.
Well, I wouldn't necessarily call him a patriot or regime supporter or whatever (not a vocal one anyways), but he indeed did like to occasionally throw some stones towards non-systemic opposition, color revolutions supporters, or other likely-minded people. One example would be what he wrote 12.12.2015 (exactly 4 years prior to current incident) at http://sysoev.ru/ about Berezovskiy's alleged financial support of orange and tulip revolutions of 2004-5.

So in that respect it isn't that impressive that he stayed in Russia even when (mostly non-state) news became more and more disturbing. Probably even less so if you assume a line of reasoning that nobody would bother with relatively small foreign company built around open-source product, a company that's already sold to larger foreign company (conveniently forgetting about the price that F5 paid for that company).

I didn’t mean to paint all men like so..I was giving an example of one instance in my own life experience..one of many that has shaped my opinion re gender segregation in higher education and work place.

Personal attacks like this will get you banned here. Not cool.

For most people, their work is the thing they know most about. If a person shows up here to discuss that and is met with this sort of harassment, it disincentivizes them—and probably others reading—to contribute about what they know. That makes HN strictly worse.

I know the counterargument for posting like this, but there are lots of places on the internet where shaming is the norm, and you can take this there. This is a community where shaming is not the norm (please see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html), and we're not going to let that slide.

I put my hands in my pockets when I walk down the street because I’m confident if I do trip, I can catch myself on my feet, same principle. If I feel a crash coming (because I hit some road debris, for example) I can maneuver the bike in a split second to either prevent the fall entirely or mitigate it to just looking like an awkward stop. Another factor is that I've ridden enough to read the road and not make mistakes that even lead to tight situations. To extend the analogy, like knowing not to walk on a smooth manhole cover in the rain.

As for the scooter, it looks like, yes it does work. According to the Questions section one person has done it and a separate user confirms its the right type of bearing. Search the questions for “Abec”. Should make a big difference. Have fun.
> I expect self driving cars to have an emergency brake

An emergency brake isn't the end of all sadly.

> laws require you to be present and focused to drive on the road

Sure, I'm not arguing the current state of self driving car (which I wouldn't really call self driving car, but more like fancy cruise control, on the Volt they called it adaptive cruise control, which make more sense). I'm arguing about the future without a wheel to drive. It's not happening right now, that's for sure, but Google is working on it and there's no

> You still get a dui on a horse even if you are passed out on top and the horse is walking itself home.

You still can act on a horse though, what made you unable to control it is your consumption (which is your responsibility not to). In a self driving car without a wheel, you no longer have any control, even if you wanted to. It may have an emergency brake, but that's can only do so much. In a world where going on a horse would cause you to be inebriated, you wouldn't get a DUI for riding one ;).

> We also don't need to use cars even in cities with poor transit. Most people's car trips are biking distances. Everyone can also own a moped and enjoy 100mpg, easy parking, and experience less congestion than what the 20 foot car introduces to a city.

Where do you live? Have you lived outside of there? In most cities you still need a car. Sorry for the accusation but theses sentences made it seems like you never lived outside of there. I'm close to Montreal in Quebec, even my car yesterday had trouble in some streets, believe me, even though we are lucky to have some amazing bike lane here, biking distance get thrown out of the window for the next 4 months. Walking is much slower right now, a moped would be actually illegal. I traded 2 hours of transit a day to 30 minutes by buying a car. I know so many people that currently do more than 2 hours a day, and that's in a city with a relatively good public transit in a pretty dense area.

Inside most cities, you still need a car. Without cars, you couldn't support the current society. You are free to disagree that our current way of living is alright, but sadly, we can't change that easily and it will certainly not happen before self driving car become the norm.
I make a similar argument about the age of transparency hurting the elite more than it hurts common folk. If you make all my data public, I'll be at most embarrassed. If you make the elite's data public, that includes the location of dead bodies.

> The early interpreted BASICs did make it difficult to write good code. All source editing was line editing, every line was numbered, there weren't any structured control flow statements, composite data structures were limited to arrays and strings...

The sad part is that, because BASIC was supposed to be the "easy" programming language, it was frequently used as the language in which students were taught how to program. Which meant its bad habits ended up getting impressed hard onto a lot of impressionable minds. I spent years fixing all the ways first learning to program in BASIC had bent my brain.

Statistically if you have a hotel with 300 rooms and tens of thousands of individual night guest stays over many years, people definitely will randomly die of natural causes. Same as if they were in bed at home.
Another one is public transport. I have been groped a few times during peak transit time in the BART. It was incredibly unpleasant and ruined the whole week for me. It’s creepy and the violation of personal space feels like rape.
