You have the answer to your own question right there: go out and learn something (preferably several things), either technical or business related, that improves you professionally and point to that during your behavioral interview questions. Go out and find some way (again, preferably several of them) to improve your team's or your employer's success that was not "asked of you" or take on challenging work and point to that during your behavioral interview questions.

I'll add that the sentence you wrote would be viewed as serious red flag by a FAANG interviewer, IMO.

Weird.
In Vitro = in a test tube.

Nail polish also inhibits Coronavirus in vitro.

Also note that they had to run this on the extracted/isolated viral RTC outside of cells. This doesn’t work with cells, because the zinc never makes it into the cell. If you take extra zinc and aren’t chronically deficient, it’s just going to come out the other end. Zinc doesn’t just diffuse in your body. It is actively shuttled through the cell membrane ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc_transporter_protein) only when needed. Cells are extremely good at controlling levels of ions because any significant difference to normal conditions tends to wrack havoc on their machinery. This effect on the viral replication is actually a good example for this.

That's fair. I've been a bit confused as to what would be directly helpful, there's potentially a lot of side projects that I could do. I realize though that over analysing the situation doesn't help. :D

Which sentence? The one about challenging work?
“Quercetin has been studied in basic research and small clinical trials.[28][2][29][30] While quercetin supplements have been promoted for the treatment of cancer and various other diseases,[31] there is no evidence that quercetin (via supplements or in food) is useful to treat cancer[32] or any disease.[2][33]”
Exactly. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_fallacy

The example there is:

Tom: All cats are animals. Ginger is an animal. Therefore, Ginger is a cat.

Bill: You have just fallaciously affirmed the consequent. You are incorrect. Therefore, Ginger is not a cat.
I disagree that knowledge doesn’t transfer much. The commands don’t but the concepts do. I cut my teeth on Maven, then later was able to pick up a JavaScrip build system, and lately had to pick up a SBT. And I think my knowledge or at least wisdom has compounded. And those previous battles seem to have given me an upper hand or context that other coworkers sometimes lack.
Pass by reference / pass by value is so syntactically batshit insane in Java that it shouldn't even be considered as an intro language option.

And before someone points out that, actually-technically, Java is always pass by value, I will pre-retort that reference-as-value isn't an argument we should ever be having about an intro programming language.

Either teach a systems language with unambiguous pointers, or teach something that abstracts consistently.

Do you mean grbl? If so, HFD and grbl are totally different. HFD is meant a way to design things (usually for laser cutters, but ultimately it outputs SVG, so could be useful for other usecases).

HFD is meant to make it easier to create designs which are parameterized (i.e. one design where you could easily change the width, height, thickness, ect). And make it simpler to split and layout designs across multiple pieces of material.
I'm hoping to get meatier discussion related to the ideas batted about here:

At least in the default install, it is all one partition. Moreover, if you had disk encryption or something, getting the recovery keys would be a risk even you had followed all the right steps. Granted, none of these are good excuses for not doing TM backups since those are so easy. But just saying people could lose data and not have an easy way to recover it.
That's funny. I was using IntelliJ IDEA at version 3, and it was an amazing experience. With version 4 they made changes to the code parser that made it slow and incredibly unstable. It's been improved since then of course but in my mind they still haven't gotten back to the speed and efficiency that they had 15 years ago.
> "Which sentence? The one about side projects?"

The sentence from you quoted in my original post. Take a look at the Amazon Leadership Principles, for example: https://www.amazon.jobs/en/principles ; all of the FAANGs have something similar. Contrast your sentence with "Bias For Action", "Ownership", "Invent And Simplify", "Learn and Be Curious", etc. and you can see why it would be viewed as a strike against you.

> "there's potentially a lot of side projects that I could do"

External side projects are nice but they're unlikely to be weighted as much as projects you do to help your employer. I personally don't attach much weight to external side projects unless the candidate's previous job was completely non-software development related or they're a new graduate or the side project is directly related to something they'll be doing on the job that I'm interviewing for.
Same.

It wasn't until the final year of my 4 year Software Engineering degree I used an IDE for the first time (Eclipse, actually) and I was totally disoriented, not understanding how all the magic was happening.
> "here's a bunch of noise that you don't understand, but that's OK, just copy and paste it"

Sounds like excellent training for a long and successful career in enterprise Java.
> Programming without a build system, a version control system, or a reasonably intelligent editor is unnecessarily difficult and gets in the way of the concepts being taught.

Programming with a build system, with a vcs and/or an editor with intellisense features will unnecessarily burden the student with learning these extra things. vanilla java, taught using a pure text editor (like pico, or notepad++, that has a simplistic syntax highlighting), and make sure the students type out their own imports, etc, is going to teach them more basics.

Until the day you need to build actual working software to ship to people, there's no need for a build system, and until they need to work in groups, there's no need for VCS. And until they start writing something _very_ complex, like a full game using many libraries, they don't need intellisense.

Most CS exercises fit in one class. And when it comes time to design something reasonably complex, the student would've learnt all the fundamentals (like 6 months in), and can move to using an IDE with little issue. And then when group projects come, the students can learn VCS as it makes group work simpler. But till then, showering the first year student with these tooling is just noise.
Ask HN: What are the most informative YouTube channels you watch?
General information and/or information that is useful in this global crisis.
I disagree with this as much as I dislike java I believe its a great language to teach someone object oriented programming. And you don't really need and ide at all, any text editor will do and will probably take away the complexity of learning the UI and help concentrate on what actual programming is. An IDE is really not needed to write your first algorithms as a student.

Yeah almost anything is possible so one really has to try not to obsess about it too much. I know it's hard. I can't say I'm able to do it either.

Anyway, my anecdote: we were interviewing for a C developer position. The next candidate was in his 50s. Our project leader took a dislike to him the moment he saw his resume. No idea why but I assumed it was either his age or that this project leader knew him and didn't want to work with him for some personal reason.

The project leader arrived to the interview at least 40m late. In that time this candidate impressed me (as the C guy) very much and I said 'hire' immediately. However, as presaged, the project leader said no.

This candidate had no way of knowing what had happened. He definitely could tell I was impressed so he probably assumed it was his age. Just imagine how he must've felt. I probably should've contacted him to let him know how messed up the our process was.

> I think I learned Pascal via Turbo Pascal. When I was 14 in 1984

Ha, I learned it via TP when I was 14 in 1994! So many dumb hijinks in that class. If there was somebody you didn't like, one thing you could do was space out past the end of line 1 of the program and just write END; in the 100th column or so. That made everything else in the file just a comment. There was no word wrap, so unless they knew how to page right, there was no way they'd ever figure it out!

I also wrote a 2-player pong game, but I knew the keyboard handler could only handle 3 keys at a time, so if you wanted to temporarily disable the other player at a key moment, you could just hold down three keys and shut him out.

This concept of de-platforming is becoming more and more prevailant.

The big techs cannot differentiate between legitimate de-platforming vs a Denial of Service de-platforming. I think while the big techs have a legitimate concern for de-platforming things that are deemed hate speech, this same power can be utilized by individuals to target a de-platforming for people whose opinions they don't like.

I think big techs should consider a public-court like system - where in order to deplatform, a jury of peers should be used to make judgements.
Counterhistories of the Sport Stadium
Oh c'mon, the real issue here is Apple's abysmal quality control (and really it's an industry-wide trend). They're phoning it in with real, tangible effect, but based on the upvotes here at the time of writing, HN seems to consider the debate around what "bricked" implies to be the most important conversation.

I used to run my own mail server, and that very nearly cost me a career-changing job at Microsoft. My reply to a hiring manager for a team I really wanted to work on went into Microsoft's bit bucket because (I'm guessing) their spam detectors didn't like my own domain and my own instance of Exim sending out my emails. When a recruiter (thankfully) followed up and scheduled me for on-site interviews, that manager mentioned that he never got a reply when he emailed me. That was the point where I realized that email had gone the way of fiefdoms, and if I wanted really important emails to make it through, I'd need to choose which castle I wanted to handle my email.

I had a similar issue to yours when I manually ran this update on my 16". It froze on a black screen, after doing the BridgeOS part of the update. I had to force it down. When it started, it continued the update and, thankfully, everything worked.

However, I'm still having kernel panics after the Supplemental update. But interestingly, they only happen when the machine is supposedly sleeping, with the shell closed. I kid you not. I will have it sitting there on my end table in the living room, shut for over an hour, and all of the sudden it will reboot with the lid closed (I know because I have the startup chime enabled). I've never had a Mac kernel panic while supposedly sleeping. This is so f*cked.

Nobody is claiming the data doesn't matter. The data they showed supported the conclusion. The author seems mad that there is additional data that also supports the conclusion that they didn't show. My question is, "so what?".

If the additional data falsified the conclusion, that would be one thing. But it doesn't, so why keep harping about how it wasn't shown?
That looks very useful, thanks.

"Space is what keeps everything from being in the same place". See "memory palace" and "The Lessons of Lucasfilm's Habitat". This ground has been covered before.

The basic alternatives are organization by place (the real world), organization by time (Twitter), organization by hierarchy (directories), and organization by search (Google). The recent interest in organization by place may reflect that organization by time has led to endlessly scrolling lists of drivel. Or a hierarchy of same, like Discord.

It's amusing that people are using Animal Crossing - New Horizons as a social system during lockdown. (Classic Animal Crossing models another current problem - when you go into Animal Crossing, you're broke and alone, and then it gets worse because you have to borrow money, then work your way out of debt.)

For social purposes, and for business purposes, you may want some sense of place without a full 3D world. It's possible to hold a business meeting in Second Life. There are conference rooms available. People can leave the meeting, walk around, and meet casually with others. There's directional and position specific audio. Around 2008, this was more of a thing than it is now. It's getting something of a comeback as people are locked down and want a little more in-person contact than you get over Slack.

Second Life's mapping to the real world is a bit too realistic - you can get a slide projector and show your PowerPoint files, with slide changing noises. Someone going between projector and screen will cast a shadow. You can have people in suits. Very good looking photorealistic people in good suits if you pay for a good avatar and outfits. You can have coffee service and a bar if you want.
It's the metaverse, like Ready Player One. (Except too sluggish under load, something slowly being fixed.) It looks great, but overkill for most people who aren't regular Second Life users and know how to drive the thing. Here's an actual meeting in Second Life.[1]

Facebook took a crack at this with Facebook Spaces, which was a flop. They shut that down and announced Facebook Horizons in late 2019, which may have been abandoned or postponed.

That makes sense. Part of the problem is that the team I'm working with doesn't have too much challenging work. We're usually stacked with work, tight deadlines, write a lot of code, and move on to the next thing really quickly. I've talked to my manager about finding work that helps me grow, but I've only got generic responses. In the last 12 months, I've also tried to contribute to the backend, written APIs in Go, but again, that is surface level work that I cannot really talk about (that is I have some experience, but no proficiency). Now I'm back to working primarily on the UI and my scope is limited to basic things like writing standard React components.

I feel like I'm stuck in a bit of a catch-22 situation. The current work isn't challenging enough but I cannot get out without doing some challenging work. How do you seek out challenging work in your existing org? FWIW, the company I work for employs about approx. 2000 people so it might be possible to change teams. I'm also considering that option.

Can anyone recommend tools for removing email duplicates? I have a mess of archived email from different sources I intend one day to consolidate onto a decent IMAP provider. Over the years I've done all kinds of forwarding from one account to another, been in & out of gmail,etc. It's a bit of a mess, and consolidation would result in me using much more storage than I need because of dupes.

A trustworthy deduping tool (whether operating via IMAP, or on local maildirs) would be useful. I've seen a couple around when I've searched in the past, but would like a recommendation from experience before running something over some gigs of archived mail.

You're going to have the Three Felonies A Day problem there, where in practice everybody commits crimes all day long and the people "not getting caught" is really everybody, even including people currently incarcerated who are still guilty of many other crimes they haven't been convicted of.

But if you want to talk about, shall we say, "real" crimes then that's another story. The solve rate for murders is actually pretty high (because they're given significant investigative resources), to the point that the population of convicts is probably not a terribly unrepresentative sample, and the lower intelligence of the convicts is pretty well established.

It also depends how you measure intelligence. The IQ of people who commit politically-motivated bombings is often significantly above average, but they also choose to commit a crime that attracts a hugely disproportionate level of investigative resources and correspondingly has quite a high solve rate despite the perpetrators' supposed intelligence, so maybe there are different kinds of stupid too.
