I appreciate what you're saying, and I realize that social media is a cesspool, but isn't your stance condescending toward candidates that you do want to hire?

Surely a reasonable person with good critical thinking skills can look at one of those "rampages" and recognize it for what it is.

A couple years ago I went to a cryptocurrency conference only because Kobe was the keynote speaker and honestly I wanted to bash him (hate the lakers). But despite the general idiocy of the conference he shared some very insightful comments about his thoughts on economics, investments, business, etc.
I'm not involved, but one obvious answer is: broader portability than Rust (this is explicitly called out in the ZZ article). Clearly devguard is targetting a broader set of devices than the limited set Rust currently targets (x86; arm, mips, riscv in tier 2, with various caveats for bare metal targets).
I'm wrapping up my first close reading -- and attempts to incorporate the guidance of -- "7 Habits of Highly Effective People", and it's been a profound experience. It outlines a linear progression of maturity (dependent -> independent -> interdependent) and provides a framework for changing how you relate to the rest of the world. It begins with deep examination of your character and values. Your self-awareness ("I'm narcissistic") and desire to change make me think you might benefit from 7H like I have.

Cars manufactured starting May 2018 must have backup cameras, so chances are whatever car you get will also have infotainment and other features. Maybe there are a few cars that have a pop-up screen or something similar that is only used for backup.

I’ve been listening to Fierce Intimacy by Terry Real and he calls what you have grandiosity. He also says some people go the other way and feel shame and inferiority. Both are on the same spectrum and both destroy interpersonal relationships. Your self worth should be from a place of I’m worth the same as tHe person next to me, not better or worse. He recommends taking a journal about what your triggers are every time you start thinking others are worth less or more than you. I have both which balances me out somewhat but I agree with the author - feeling totally at peace with yourself and your place as “good enough” will improve your life and relationships in a profound way. Mostly your relationship with how you treat yourself, not needing the aggrandisement will take a huge burden off you and lead to the things you want. Acknowledging it’s become a problem is something people find incredibly hard to do so I’d say you’re probably not as narcissistic as you think. Good luck!

I actually hate that "feature" even more than autoplay. It's completely disrespectful to both the viewer and to the content that you're watching.

This option is to turn off autoplay when browsing. It would be great if it also disabled the auto play on trailers at the end of a show.
As an iPhone user, I am actually happy about this. When I buy my grandparent's an iPhone, I don't want them duped into going to a shady service shop. When I buy a used iPhone from a regular person, I want to feel confident that the person was duped into having a shady shop service the phone.

This is especially important as there are secure elements that are critical to iPhone security that have to be handled correctly. I trust Apple to get it right.

If you think of starlink sattelites being visible as a form of pollution, light pollution I suppose in this case, then it makes sense why the economics aren't priced in and there's little that can be done by a minority of this impacted.
People realized there's no advantage to letting both sides speak. The majority benefits from stifling the minority and inherently has the power to do so by virtue of being the majority. This gets justified with arguments against normalization usually. Why it's so hard for the 'right' side to present their side persuasively isn't examined too closely.

Making the claim that parental leave is zero-sum assumes that I'd be working at full productivity for those 6 months, which based on my current sleep schedule even without work obligations, I definitely wouldn't be.

My employer can either pay me for 6 months of work and get a substandard work product while I suffer sleep deprivation, or they can pay me for 6 months of leave and get me back recharged and ready to work at the end of that leave, when my child is sleeping through the night.
I think your advice is great for tech leads at big companies, but for tech leads at startups, I have to disagree with the point about "Work for your product - not your company."

At a startup, the business objective has to come first and the engineering team has to keep the bigger picture in mind.
"Long-term stability and robustness" won't matter if your company is dead. Build for the short-term and build fast while you are figuring out product-market fit. Move fast and break things.
I don't think I agree; there are plenty of video and audio formats that exist that were lossless that had traction in the archival and library worlds. Sure, that's not nearly as big of an audience as something like YouTube or Instagram, but it's not nothing.

I could totally see a universe where something like FLIF becoming a de-facto standard in image archiving, particularly for extremely large images. 33% smaller than PNG is a measurably savings in image archiving.

Everyone thinks they are the good guys. I recently interviewed with a properly progressive woman, who went on to tell me that she doesn't have a good track record interacting with old dudes, and I have no reason to doubt her good faith.
Hiring is definitely more art than science. I’d argue that now one has really figured out how to do it well.

Some companies do actually hire people fresh out of college/coding boot camp, and for those people, some feedback and a few weeks studying might make a world of difference.
Im not saying he’s attention seeking although that could be the case. I’m saying the form and content of his post shows his inability to see his world from the perspective of other people - the people affected by his narcissism - which is like I said before a feature of the disorder and the reason it is so treatment-resistant.

None of this is to say I don’t think he should see a professional - he absolutely should.
> I imagine they also have their VINs punched in the frame where it's easily visible.

It's not always easily visible, but the VIN must be stamped on the major components of the car by law. I believe this means visible from the driver's side windshield, stamped on the frame, and stamped on the major drivetrain components.

> I don't know if it's against the law to grind that off, but it's probably not against the law to weld a metal plate over it.

In my state, it's illegal to do either of those things, but I don't believe it's illegal to obstruct the view of the VIN in a less permanent way.
Understanding that being narcissistic doesn’t actually work really helps. People (by and large) don’t respect you more or think any differently of you as a result of you tooting your own horn and singing praises to yourself. In fact, it has the opposite effect. Once you realize and internalize that the large part of incentive of being narcissistic goes away.

What also helps is understanding the underlying reason that prompts you to be narcissistic. There’s typically one or more insecurity that manifests itself as a desire to seek for approval or look for praise. Once you figure out where it’s coming from it suddenly becomes so much easier to deal with.
I mostly disagree. I really can't think of a case where I would want to interview the same person twice. That said, I'm happy to provide feedback if they ask, and when it comes to interviewing, I personally appreciate feedback ONLY when I ask.

From the paper:

> an F2F interaction was recorded when three conditions were met: two or more badges (i) were facing each other (with uninterrupted infrared line-of-sight), (ii) detected alternating speaking, and (iii) were within 10 m of each other.

Condition (i) seems like it'd result in a lot of false negatives in various situations common in open-office environments, e.g. two people talking to each other without actually leaving their desks (especially if they're across from each other, since that'd mean there's likely at least one screen in the way).
It looks like the the creator (Jon Sneyers) has since (2019) made another image format more focused on the lossy compression, FUIF[0], which itself has been subsumed by the JPEG XL format[1]. I hope the "JPEG" branding doesn't make folks think that JPEG XL isn't also a lossless format!

"whatever it won't happen to me" isn't my point, but okay. I'm not advocating for recklessness or apathy toward infosec / IT. I'm not trying to tell anyone how to live their lives, and explicitly I'm not saying what a company should do. I'm just trying to convey how I view MY risk from a target probability perspective vs the loss it would incur, and thus how I decide to trust some HW/SW

A company has to hire someone. So they're forced to take the risk.

Clojure is definitely growing. Slowly, steadily, but growing nevertheless. There are more Clojure-specific conferences today than of Haskell, Elixir, OCaml, Elm, Prescript, Racket or Rust. There are more books and podcasts. Last year alone there were new conferences announced in Canada, Brazil, Russia, Ukraine and India. Almost every European country has its own Clojure-conf, some have multiple.

Of course it is still much smaller than Java, but Clojure can also be hosted on JS, BEAM or .Net. There's even a way to interop with Python and R.

Clojure is one of the nicest [production-ready] languages out there. It's pretty cool what it has achieved, with pretty much zero marketing effort and without support from big companies.
You're right, but it's also not difficult for genuine, high-quality feedback to be taken poorly. You can tell someone that they're not as good at data structures or database design or scalable systems or whatever core job skill you needed them to be. That can be highly useful, actionable feedback.

It can also readily feed into a very different framing. It's rarely difficult for a candidate to decide that whatever core reason is a fig leaf and something more ego-preserving is the real reason. I think we've all had coworkers who didn't take feedback well. I've definitely known people to whom all feedback is personal attacks. It's also, unfortunately, well-known and well-documented that people share negative thoughts more often and more readily than positive thoughts.

So, you're absolutely right. The good word can get around! There may be more risk to trying than is obvious, though.
I witnessed a candidate ask a question along these lines in a group interview and I found it extremely awkward, because there was huge potential for disagreement amongst the interviewers, and also because this group consisted of people who had a stake in the hire as future coworkers for the role, but were not members of the search committee making the final hire decision, we were just providing feedback to the search committee. One person answered no, but at least two of us in the room were no-hire on the candidate. This question and some of the others the candidate asked also struck me as inauthentic, they sounded like they came straight out of an interview skills book. So I would be cautious with implementing this advice... at minimum, reserve it for 1:1 interview contexts.
The coronavirus is devastating for the Chinese Communist Party.

Basically, the deal with the populace was people gave up their freedom in exchange for competent government and economic growth. In the last several decades, this was seen as a good deal, by a lot of people both inside and outside China. China had massive economic growth and modernization.

Now, however, the handling of coronavirus was a huge blow to the perception of competency of the government, and is likely to have big economic implications as well, thereby threatening the foundations of this deal.

Ok, I get what you meant. And I won't deny sometimes I too get frustrated when I can't find the driver for some hardware on Linux or have to download some source code and compile it.

But I will still never accept Apple's approach of total control and deciding for its user. Each of us have different needs and expectations from our computer. And there is no way, even with all the spying that Apple does, that it can provide a "perfect environment" for each of it users. It just isn't true and not possible. So restricting customisation, in the name of security but in reality to limit and control the user from making any changes without "contributing" to Apple's profit, is just bad for us consumers.

> 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.

So, your employer does give feedback to candidates on request? It must be difficult for you to find places that are acceptable to you to work, since very few companies typically give feedback. Or do your friends just not usually ask for feedback and as a result that clause on your criteria never trips (i.e. the company wouldn't have given feedback, but since your friend didn't ask, you don't strike it off your list)?
To be honest, reading all the interviewing.io feedback makes it clear that I would never want to use it. It’s literally leetcode with interviews.

I don’t think I could do anything with the feedback if it was something like:

> ‘you didn’t say that the alghorithm you were using here was using the bayesian-green notation, and you should have used n+1 instead of n++’

Then maybe there can be a system that provides a disclaimer where they waive all ability to sue or otherwise get into a fight with you.
I agree on both counts. In fact, the examples of constructive feedback the article provides seem fairly worthless. If your advice is that the candidate should try doing some problems on leetcode in order to be successful in your interview process, then that's something you'd ideally mention prior to the interview, as a suggestion on how they should prepare.

I think FAANG do a really good job of preparing you for exactly what kinds of questions to expect as well as resources to study for them. That also generally reduces the need for feedback afterwards.
Learn the difference between a leader and a boss, and be the leader to your team, not the boss.
The cost overruns are an example for my argument, not against it. They make economically non-viable decisions. Instead of, you know scrapping the project or cutting corners and launching garbage like 99% of all crowdfunding disasters.
Companies who don't give feedback because they believe there is no upside are building a team that lacks empathy, with all that implies regarding technical debt and final product. If the company is successful, it is despite the team, not because of it. This is tantamount to a mathematical certainty.

I will always reject an offer from any company that I know does not give feedback to their rejected candidates, and have done.

> most of which are patched in microcode

Because most of it is software anyway. Unless the CPU is something ridiculously simple, like an 8-bit microcontroler, a lot of the instructions are executed by microcode stored in ROM on the CPU. What those patches do is load a replacement software in RAM at boot time.
It’s not the only solution. Another solution is to buy products from companies you agree with. If that company doesn’t exist, start it. Nobody is required to buy an Apple product.
Lol, yeah, like when I applied again at the same company after 3 years and they rejected me out of hand before even giving me a chance at an interview because they rejected me before.

Obviously my skills and experience are still exactly the same, so this makes perfect sense.
