Depends on what you mean by "ok". Being a jerk to him might have some beneficial effects, mainly you yourself feeling better ("Now I've shown him, ha!") or maybe he realizes his wrong ways. I'd doubt the latter and the former doesn't help too much in the situation (unless you only care about your mood).

I'd try talking to the guy first, with well formed arguments and especially leaving out the word "jerk" or synonyms. Walk him through how it probably felt for the candidate (in the usual form of 'when you did X, the candidate probably felt Y) and show them how it's actually bad for the hiring loop, candidate experience and the company's reputation. Show him alternatives, too. Offer pair practice. See how he reacts. If he doesn't react well to this, take it one level higher as this can very quickly get to hardly reversible bad results.

Wow.
I like using both uBlock Origin and uMatrix.

uBlock I run with near-zero configuration tweaks, only enabling a few additional lists.

uMatrix I run in a much more restrictive mode (block all 3rd party, along with first party scripts and XHRs). Then I selectively unblock to unbreak sites.

In this way, uMatrix is my primary line of defense, and uBlock is a backup, in case I accidentally unblock an ad/malware domain when trying to unbreak a site. It also allows me to temporarily allow all with uMatrix if I just want a site to work, without enabling ads, etc.

MSG was heavily discussed in Sweden 10-15 years ago, especially the addition to potato chips. The Swedish National Food Agency said that it was safe to eat, but that some people may be hypersensitive.

I read a couple of articles now, and it seems from interviews like the people behind some of the organizations protesting its use was hypersensitive themselves. It makes sense that if they have bad reactions, they assume that the substance itself is bad in general, even if that hasn't been shown in medical trials. The Food Agency also said that since the symptoms were limited in time and severity, even if hypersensitive (blurred vision, headache, and so on) it wasn't necessary to warn the general public to stop consumption.

I read an article saying that MSG is not allowed in baby food and is cautioned against for pregnant women. The baby food claim may be true, but the Food Agency says that small children process MSG as efficiently as adults, that there's no difference of glutamate blood concentration between fetus and mother when pregnant, and that MSG is not considered a risk for the fetus. They also say that it's not probable that it's transferred to the baby in breast milk, if consumption is kept at recommended daily intake.

When I was in elementary school in the 80s and 90s, people would eat knäckebröd [1] with butter covered with Aromat [2]. We didn't know it then, but it contained MSG which was probably why it tasted so good.

Aromat contains lactose, and a vegan alternative is Vegeta [3]. I don't sprinkle it directly onto food, even if I could, but use it more like powdered broth and add it to sauces and soups. It's pretty salty, so I use it instead of salt.

Another vegan product I'd like to mention for its umami flavor is Engevita [4] nutritional yeast flakes. I sprinkle that on top of food which gives it a more deep, nutty, or cheesy flavor. Instead of monosodium glutamate, where a sodium atom is bound to the glutamate amino acid, the glutamate is bound (according to an article I read that was light on details) to other amino acids, but still performs its umami duties. This is natural occurring glutamate in the yeast, and not an additive.

What exactly do they mean by "seawater"? Not all seawater is exactly the same, chemically speaking. I have actually measured "seawater" before, and the chemistry of the water at a single location can vary wildly from day to day.

It's a short squeeze:

> But if a stock rises steadily above the price at which the short-sellers initially sold it, they are sitting on a loss. That loss — in theory — has no limits because a stock can keep rising. And if a stock zooms higher, as Tesla’s has, the short-sellers will usually have to rush to buy the shares to protect themselves against further losses. If enough investors do this, it pushes the stock price up even further, forcing even more buying by short-sellers. Other investors often join the buying, in the belief they can make quick and easy profits.
Sounds like a perfectly cromulent database.
I'd argue it could stick. There might be a systemic issue in this case, such as no proper interview training present. This might be a good time suggesting something like that or at least doing pair practice. In my experience there are extremely few people actually trying to consciously be jerks regardless of how it looks from the other side.
This is a very interesting idea. The world needs more languages that make formal provability practical.

agree. it's more a problem of lack of critical thinking&reading (because this is generally not taught during education) than anything else.

The problem with these kinds of censorship actions is that there is literally no end to it, and it will never solve the real root cause of the problem. It will just suck up resources and people/institutions will keep complaining that they got into trouble because someone took a tweet as a truth...
Would be interesting to read more specific comparisons with existing mature libraries, e.g. backoff [0]. Feeling I get from reading the motivation behind a new library is that most of it can be achieved by using backoff and perhaps a custom delegating decorator that remaps parameter names and does extra checks if necessary.

Truth is too important to let the public decide what is true. I think that twitter doesn't have enough resources to bear this burden alone. So it is better if the state give a helping hand. A dedicated ministry of truth should be there when Twitter cannot hold the line against the ever more devious deceptions. Also since a lot of the speech online is hate speech we should probably also make a state organization that helps people to love each other. A ministry of love.

This isn't a problem with a standardized process, this is a problem with leadership not explaining to those doing the work how they fit into the whole and why their actions are important.

I was pretty excited to see this paper but unfortunately it seems like they have a pretty big multiple comparisons problem. The spatial structure of their brain maps and the really strong correlations scream multiple comparisons. Glancing through their methods briefly to try to figure out why, it looks like they are performing their decoding and leave-one-out cross validation independently for each small group of voxels, which should generate a ton of false positives. This is pretty easy to control for, but they didn't do the key control analysis: scramble the trial identity (category) to create null datasets and then recompute the measures. Unfortunately I bet that these null models would have had similar correlations to what they observed.
That's not correct. The implementation of "make", for example, looks like Go but isn't - it relies on internal details of the gc compiler that isn't part of the spec [1]. That's why a Go user can't implement "make" in Go.

If you're using something like this, then the details of when, what and how you retry is probably something you care about, so having the library be explicit about it and making it possible to know what something means without having to look at the docs seems sensible to me.
1) There were/are sometimes ways to break out of them.
2) The process table is mixed in with your OS process table - making it hard to tell what is running chrooted and what isn't.
3) The network stack is shared
4) They share an OS

You can make a "spectrum" of environments where you run code. One one side is everything running on a single server in a single OS, on the right is everything having its own machine and OS. In between you have chroot, docker, blade servers, virtual machines, and other isolation techniques. chroot falls somewhere between everything running in one system, and everything running in docker containers on one system.
Next Steps for Pkg.go.dev
This is a bit late to add, but from the description of the problem in the article, the way to make the program faster, irregardless of language, is to use a big array rather than lists and trees. Carve the array up as necessary, so the array of users to offsets in the array where the data is. Basically, be your own memory allocator, with all the loss of safety but the order of magnitude improvement in efficiency that that brings.

My point is that people will hail MSG as the devil and then happily consume sushi wrapped in sea weed and have no ill effect. I have a friend she swears she is allergic to MSG but she eats sushi at least twice a week with no reaction. I don't have the heart to tell her that the very wrapping she is eating is where they get the MSG from.

That being said, there are people that legitimately have a glutamate allergy and they do have reactions when they eat sea weed.

It wasn't all over the place (in professional productions). Rather, it was an important part of the craft of cinematography to adjust the speed of cranking to fit the mood of a scene.

The provided example is a bit questionable. Sure it "works", but this is a perfect example for using a typed language, so the compiler/transpiler/static analyzer can immediately tell you that type EncodedString can not be implicitly converted to string.

No need for naming conventions that have to be taught to everyone and half of the people keep forgetting. Of course that doesn't take away the responsibility to teach people why there are two types, but even if they don't know and just copy-paste, it's better than someone mislabeling a variable name and thus not making it any easier to track down a bug because of it.

The two main cases when linked lists are better are (a) when you want to guarantee a low cost per insert, since vector insertion is only O(1) amortized, and (b) when you want to insert in the middle, but somehow found that middle without scanning the list.

Anyway, in this case, I guess they're using a free list because (1) it's simpler since you don't need an external collection keeping a list of unused stuff, and (2) reason (a) above.
