Hot take: you could hire someone who did absolutely well in the interview, and they could find a few weeks into the job that they loathe everyone, and go on a social media rampage.

What I’m getting at is, there will always be bad apples, or people who react in a way that damages your organization. But not providing useful feedback to people who ask for it simply because one person went crazy is punishing a lot more people because of that one. Who knows if all of their negative karma ends up being worse in the grand scheme of things?

I personally avoid applying to places that other engineers tell me to avoid because I trust their opinion more than I trust a company selling me the highlight reel in an interview. If a trusted engineer said he got a rejection in an interview, asked for feedback, and none was given, I’d avoid that place too.

A friend of mine had a couple great experiences with psilocybin, and then a bad trip. Interestingly, it was the bad trip that broke them out of their narcissistic mindset.
Can you explain how this is different than, say, cars? If a car disastrously fails, the consequences may be much, much worse. Would it be less sinister if Ford required all authorized Ford repair shops to be audited up to five years after they stop working on Ford cars?

I read through it - it doesn't seem like VLAN hopping would really be possible unless you can straight up get into the control plane and change the port configuration.
Thats at least 2-3 more steps from "RCE" basically.
Honestly, having kids fixed my personality in a thousand significant ways. I was never a raging cerebral narcissist, but I had patterns of responses to situations which were incredibly self-centered. My children didn't change my perspective, that would be too convenient and easy. Having children just gave me more outlets to be the caring, nurturing person that I wanted to be deep down. I enjoy expressing my personality as a dad more than any other persona I've ever tried on.
I think there are better definitions that more precisely define certain traits:

Jerk -- that view that you are surrounded by idiots, don't have anything worth saying, and does not deserve respect. See: https://aeon.co/essays/so-you-re-surrounded-by-idiots-guess-...

Asshole -- a kind of disconnection with relating to other people, by being "untouchable" by the feelings and concerns of other people. Paradoxically, there is often a great yearning to connect inspite of that isolation. The best book I have seen on this subject is specific to the masculine archetypes, in the book, Trickster, Magician, and the Grieving Man by Glen Mavis.

People with Borderline Personality Disorder can get confused for narcissism. The way to differentiate is that people with BPD have an incredible fear of being rejected or abandoned.
Understand what are the things that you should stop doing, and what are the new things that you should start doing.
What made you a great contributor and put you in a position to be promoted is not going to necessarily make you a successful tech lead going forward.
You need to start optimizing your work around different metrics now. How much you produce with your own hands becomes almost irrelevant, and how much your team produces as a whole, and how quickly people on your team grow becomes paramount.
Another aspect is that you should be managing up and sideways, be a voice and an ambassador for your team within your engineering organization. Be on the lookout for what is going on and provide air cover for people on your team.
With the reference encoder licensed under LGPLv3, I doubt any browser team will be able to incorporate this work into their product. They would need to do a full clean room reimplementation simply to study it (since GPLv3 seems unacceptable to them, and LGPLv3 can’t coexist with GPLv2, and so forth and so on). It’s really unfortunate that the FLIF team chose such a restrictive license :(

EDIT: Their reference JS polyfill implementation is LGPLv3 as well, which may further harm adoption.

I'm confused by what you mean. NASA has provided SpaceX with lots of expertise and assistance. And you are aware that Starliner is a Boeing vehicle, not SpaceX?
This is a tried and true practice in dating, and it translates well to hiring, which is basically the same thing.

Most people, ESPECIALLY people who ask you for feedback, do not want feedback. They want to get in a fight with you.

Edit: I don't remember ghosting anyone personally in either setting, but it's happened to me plenty. Getting upset about it just means you're new to the experience.
> I think NASA has become a political creature

NASA has always been a political creature, but its mission has changed over the years. Its original mission was to beat the USSR into space. Its new mission is to funnel money to key congressional districts. But it has always been political. Science was always a facade.

Source: I worked for NASA for 15 years (1988-2000, 2001-2004).

But like anything "crazy cheap" on Amazon... is it genuine? I'd be concerned about additives like melamine.
Every open office I've worked in, the decision to have an open layout was made by people that were in offices.
In Canada voters at the same polling place get the same ballot only because there are enough polling places that local district seats will always be larger than polling catchment areas.

Last election I walked into my polling place six minutes before my bus was supposed to arrive right out front and caught my bus.

Skimping on costs when it comes to elections is pretty silly - it makes sense to make sure there isn't rampant corruption but people have enough reasons not to vote that adding inconvenience to the list can be quite discouraging.
I've added that book to my list of possible reads.

I must say I am actually disappointed that it doesn't appear to have been written in an algorithmic fashion.

I do think we should be curteous, far from it (and employers doubly so); I'm not excusing their beahviour, but I am saying it many cases it pays to not be curteous (note, not being curteous isn't the same as being definitely uncurteous). It is the sort of behaviour interviewees have grown to expect.

The pursuit of protit over courteousness is bound to happen when positive courteousness has a negligible and potentially negative impact on profit.
One path to humility is realising just how astoundingly skilled some people are at skills you would like to have, but don’t have (and may never be good at).

You already realise you are missing some interpersonal skills, so you are hopefully above the “Dunning-Kruger” unskilled and unaware point for some interpersonal skills (excellent!).

Start by asking others what they see as your weakest skills are. Don’t defend or argue back, be humble and accept the criticism. They need to be someone you respect and preferably someone highly skilled in areas you are not (even though that is obviously extremely difficult for one to judge correctly - maybe use consensus judgement of others?).

Work on learning those skills from others, or just admiring them.

If you are a guy then learning some traditionally “female” skills is probably a good start (or vice versa if you are a woman).

This has worked somewhat for me as someone with a reasonably high IQ and a very well developed ego!
Here's a story from a previous place of employment: they needed to hire a new lab technician. The two finalists were a young guy fresh out of school and an old dude with experience. Of course they chose the younger guy, they always do, malleability and a full head of hair always beat experience and competence. 6 months later they had to fire him because he was stealing equipment and selling it. It was an embarassment for the hiring manager, one that could have been predicted.

If they had fed a story to the unsuccessful candidate and if word about the string of thefts had emerged, that guy would have gone from disappointed to absolutely ballistic, and he would have been right in telling everyone that the hiring manager was an ageist worthless piece of shit and that anyone who can should stay far away from that employer.
Yes, I guess the proof is only relative to the formal spec, if the spec (formal or not) is nonsense it's another problem (so you might not have to test the program, but still have to test the complete system).

But I guess (again) that having formal specs getting proven helps to avoid inconsistent specs. I recall a talk by Martyn Thomas where he said that with these methods it was harder to get programs to compile (for example, the compiler could complain if it detected an inconsistency, either between the spec and the program or within the spec itself).
> On a certain blog that is completely outside acceptable standards for wrongthink and political correctness

What does this statement really add besides political signaling?
See, I would think that it will do the opposite. As the poles heat up faster, it would lower the gradient between the hot waters in the equator and the cold waters at the poles that drive the thermo haline cycle.

At least thats what is happening in the atmosphere. Its why the polar jet stream is weaker, and rossby waves are more prone to break off and send a polar vortex to the US, because the gradient across the boundary is lessened by the quickly warming poles.
They have a demo using a prototype browser polyfill so you could arguably use it right now at the cost of slightly higher CPU usage. Depending on your data connection it could even end up using less battery on mobile due to reduced radio usage.
It's improved in the last year or so. It's not perfect by any stretch of the imagination but I find that it's one of the better supported languages out there, second to of course Java/Kotlin/TypeScript/C#.

> A small detail many forget is that Netflix pays very different prices for different shows.

Yeah, it's extremely annoying. Netflix essentially mocks its customers by keeping the best works just out of their reach. Almost every time I search for a classic film, I find its sequels instead. The film I actually wanted to watch was apparently too good for Netflix's pay grade.

Netflix has Terminator 1 and 3 but not 2; the first Mad Max but none of the others; Spider-Man 1 and 3 but not 2; several Hannibal movies and a TV series but not Silence of the Lambs; some Star Wars movies but not others; the list goes on...
They also have national IDs, which simplifies the situation.

Some of them even have compulsory national IDs, obviously that changes the dynamics of the situation entirely.

And they also don't have the 24th amendment.

I would bet the number of voters who are disenfranchised there is > 0
Definitely agree with these. As a newly official tech lead I'm finding both these things quite a challenge!
Why can't this be on the scale of 3 or 5 years? I'm reminded of the Maya Angelou quote: "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

I don't remember 99.9% of what recruiters have said to me, but I do remember the two companies (Hulu and LinkedIn) that made me feel like crap and jerked me around. It was 2 years ago and I'm sure most of the people who were a part of that are gone, but I still kind of have that grudge.

That is a great video. Thank you for pointing me to it.
hadn't heard that as the reason...

In 2005, the National Academies of Sciences published a pamphlet that expressed the viewpoint that “climate change” was a more scientifically comprehensive description of what was happening to the planet. “The phrase ‘climate change’ is growing in preferred use to ‘global warming’ because it helps convey that there are changes in addition to rising temperatures,” it said.[1]

When you get to the root of them, yes.
Mind that the 737 Max is all about avoiding recertification (or grandfathering) and avoiding pilot retraining. Its raison d'être is to allow airlines with an existing fleet of 737s to operate with existing crews without further training and/or certification. Meaning, designing a new plane allowed operators to switch to Airbus, as well, which might be the more attractive option at the moment.

This is all about operator logistics and lock-in by costs of retraining and infrastructure. (I guess, this may be the real point to be addressed, since, as this is such a crucial factor, procedures are prone to be repeated in other configurations in the future. Failures are highly likely to be repeated, regardless of the actor.)

Edit: To emphasize the last thought, the 737 Max may be more of a systemic failure of the entire business, its regulations and how they are conducted, than a failure by a single actor on a single instance.
... and remained in offices (whether an official office, or a conference room that became an "unofficial" office)
There are no “good guy” companies. Stop electing obstructionists who have no interest in governing. Regulation is the only solution.
I grew up in a poor, predominantly black inner-city. I and everyone I knew had an ID card, if not just to buy alcohol.

People who don't participate in our society enough to acquire basic documentation required for not living on the streets are overwhelmingly not interested in voting (this accounts for a sliver of the roughly half of the nation that didn't bother to participate in the last presidential election.) If you have the means and will to visit a poll booth, you have it to get an ID, unless there are legitimately disqualifying circumstances. If you believe this isn't the case, you should be lobbying explicitly to get these people ID's more easily, not to remove the requirement at the poll booth. This documentation is already required for virtually everything else; these (hypothetical) people need your help.
Thanks, I found this post fascinating and informative.
Star systems are largely trash anyways.
What is 2 stars vs 3 or 4? but we know 1 Is bad, and that 5 is great.

If anything a 3 star system is better, 1 - bad, 2 - neutral, 3 - good. Simple.

Often the 5 star system just devolves into 1, 4, or 5 anyways. Or in the case of averaged ratings like your ride share apps, you get stuck as a floating point. Suddenly 4.3 is significant vs 4.8. It's all silly.

I fully support the thumbs up or down. It's effectively a 3 star system anyways. 1 - Thumbs down, 2- neutral enough to not warrant a response, 3 - Thumbs up
I wonder if the UI developer pool is changing, or the influence of marketing and other groups is screwing things up.

Good user interfaces use timeless concepts. This might imply that conservative folks make the best UIs, which might not be as sexy.

And a good browsing experience shouldn't be held hostage to "featured promotions" or worse, advertisements.

Maybe there's a market for nice experiences.

I think of costco vs other stores -- at costco, you go get your stuff, pay for it and get out. At other stores there are featured products and advertising influencing the store layout and cluttering the checkout line.

I am working on conceptualizing an API security tool for developers and testers. The developers can use this to automatically find code vulnerabilities. Testers can use this to run standard OWASP tests against the API. Integrations with Atlassian, Postman and Azure DevOps is on the roadmap.
Given how strict the immigration rule has become I'm not surprised, especially for those who work in tech/academics. Also UPWARD is relative, which means many immigrants start from scratch and there's just not enough time to gain too much wealth and social status, thus makes it easier for their children to go 'upwards', while it may just be their children are living like average Americans.

Looks great. What about decoding and encoding speed?
While I do agree that hardware engineering generally employs more verification and validation, look at the errata sheets for modern processors. They have a lot of bugs as well--most of which are patched in microcode (software) or handled by operating system kernels (also software).
I believe this is not quite correct, there is an additional step. Once you enter the VIN BMW ConnectedDrive will send a message to the car which you have to retrieve through the iDrive interface before it will 'pair' with online services or the app. You need to have physical access to the car.

And if you sell the car and it is added to another ConnectedDrive account (or BMW mark it as sold) it disappears from your dashboard and you need physical access again to add it.
You're right to call me out on the fact that both introverts and extroverts are not a unified category. Very few people are purely introverted or purely extroverted, and there is no singular set of traits that anyone in that category shares. You're completely right.

I use 'introvert' and 'extrovert' out of lack of a better word, because the connotations you have around 'anxiety' are also not representative of everyone who might want to use this app. But again, you're correct to point out that this is a very broad, kind of incorrect generalization.

However, I do still believe that if you genuinely can't imagine being friends with someone who would want this app, you are in a bubble. If you genuinely can't imagine friends with deep, meaningful relationships using something like this, you are in a bubble. To take that a step further, while it's completely feasible that none of your friends fall into this category, I would very cautiously advise asking them -- because it's also feasible that some of them do relate and just haven't ever talked to you about it.

On that note, if this app idea creeps you out, please allow me to creep you out a lot more. ;)

When I was in college, a friend and I came very close to setting up a system I could use to ask them for favors. The plan was, I would send an email asking for the favor, and based on how much I needed it, a system would be given a 0-50% chance of not delivering the email. That way, if the email was delivered and the friend didn't want to do the favor, they could delete it without worrying quite as much about my reaction. And if I didn't hear a reply, I would be less tempted to read into that.

I don't think we ultimately followed through (the payoff wasn't worth the technical work it would have taken to build), but there were a lot of policies like this -- there were a lot of systems that allowed us to gel, and that allowed us to cut through issues that would have made it more difficult for us to connect.

Now, you could reasonably assume that the dynamics I describe above would contribute to a pretty messed up, fragile relationship, but to this day, I would consider that person to be the closest friend I've ever had, and I think they understand me as a person on a different level than almost anyone else I know. Far from being unable to communicate, there were a number of topics and conversations that (at the time) I felt like I could only have with that friend.

I can't speak to your experiences, I can't speak to your personal needs as an individual, I can't tell you what's healthy for you. I can just say that when you imagine that people working around anxiety can't have deep friendships, you're wrong. There's a dimension to these relationships that you don't understand.
Flytraps! Probably easier than finding rces
I think the article is targeted at employers who act in good faith and don’t discriminate.
No, I mean it is fixable at a deeper level, and not just through things like behavioral conditioning. The techniques may not be wildly available or accessible. To give you some examples --

- Changes taking place with use of psychedelics, including traditional shamanic methods

- Use of acupuncture on something called the "extraordinary meridians". Similarly, internal alchemy methods that messes with that

- A phenomena called Kundalini (which describes a large spectrum of psycho-spritual changes).

- Breakthroughs from certain kinds of realizations on the nature of being, such as those resulting from Zen or Vipassana

Animal instincts are just that. They are more like firmware. Difficult to change if you don't know how, but very much possible if you are a hacker -- have the will, knowledge, and skill to do so.

They gain the goodwill of a prospective employee who might cycle back and be a great fit later on in their career (and who has more skills then). It's also about what they don't lose, which is not only me but potentially other prospective candidates. Know what happens when someone mentions they are considering applying to a place that never got back to me? I tell them don't apply there, they waste your time / they don't care about candidates / their interview process sucks. How many people does that person then go tell? I've absolutely punted on applying to places which my friends have said similar things about.

Reputation matters a lot.
Benchmarks please. I also do not think that they are actually tuned specifically for opteron.
I'm glad that's working for you, but for anyone else reading, if you think you have some sort of uncontrolled pathological narcissism, please do not have children.

A majority of the people I know who have mental health issues as adult are in that situation at least in part due to narcissistic abuse by their parents. /r/raisedbynarcissists/ has over half a million subscribers for a reason. If you want to have kids, get yourself straightened out psychologically first, or set aside funding for the therapy they'll need ahead of time.
As highly unscientific inference.

Because someone put it on a graph does not make the explanation simple.
Absurd. That's what car manufacturers would have you believe too. By this line of reasoning, repairing cars should only be done by the original manufacturer because cars are dangerous and something will go bad. I've personally almost been killed by break lines being installed wrong by Pep Boys. Who would I sue in that case? Toyota or Pep Boys? Obviously the latter. They screwed in the break lines backwards, stripping them, like the total fucking idiot morons that they are. If cars are repairable, all consumer electronics should be because literally no consumer electronic device is anywhere close as dangerous as cars.

This doesn't change anything nor does it make it any less sinister. You're just making excuses for Apple's horrific behavior.
Apple is one of the worst offenders when it comes to lock-in in each form, including repairs.
