You should ask your interviewers after-the-denial, explaining that you would like to understand what they would like to have seen so you can continue to prep/grow. At worst, it'll be slightly awkward (doing this via email can help mitigate that) and/or they may ignore your request. At best, they may be impressed by your grace and interest in growth (never know how things will play out--you may be their second choice and hear from them again some day).

But, really you just want honest answers and most would understand that (as most can relate to your situation). As an interviewer, I'd be more than happy to explain if anyone asked me. But, now that I think of it, I don't believe anyone ever has.

What do you mean by this? The MSFS 2020 flight simulation is on par if not better than X-Plane: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bw-opH4f8Qg

> but if you're interested in contributing to a product you can improve and have fun modelling/texturing additional planes, cities etc this is a project to get involved with.

Again, MSFS 2020's SDK is already with all of the major third-party developers and will be publically available upon its release. A couple have even swapped to almost purely working on MSFS products instead of X-Plane or P3D.
I couldn't disagree more. The idea of denying the HN community an opportunity to read a touching and deeply personal story—simply because its ending isn't palatable to you—is incredibly selfish.
A thing doesn't need people to be great. It is in itself.

It is the people who need a great thing to inspire/guide them.

Yes, that's a good point. I agree that there appears to be a client bug here. From a quick glance, it appears that nothing is checking that the non-final blocks in a pipelined read are returned from the server in full.

I don't necessarily agree that retry is the right behavior though. Wouldn't that result in an extra round trip in the actual EOF case? Again, not having thought about this much, it seems a more efficient interpretation of the spec is that truncated reads indicate EOF. In that case, a truncated read as in the middle of a pipelined operation either indicate the file's EOF is moving concurrently with the operation (in which case stopping at the initial truncation would be valid) or the lease has been violated.

Regardless, I work on SMB-related things only peripherally, so I do not represent the SMB team's point of view on this. Please do follow up with them.

For all ages with non-negligible COVID-19 mortality rates (i.e., everyone over ~60), the baseline total mortality rate over the course of a few weeks is orders of magnitude lower than the mortality rate for COVID-19 over that same time period. The amount by which attributing all deaths in COVID-19 patients to COVID-19 could overstate the true case fatality rate is negligible.
If you enjoy diplomacy but are after a more short/casual game, I highly recommend junta. It's a great game where players are controlling the ruling families in a banana Republic and are trying to funnel as much money as possible to their Swiss bank accounts. Lots of backstabbing involved, but much shorter games than diplomacy, so one can easily incorporate it into a short game night.
Korea’s Grocery Shopping App Market Kurly Raises Record $164m
Don't forget this is also the country where multiple right-wing militias came out of the woodworks and engaged in a standoff against rangers for multiple days over a herd of fucking cattle. And then proceeded to do the whole thing over again in a month long siege over some cabin in a national park.

My point being in any destabiliztion event these groups are certainly going to be active, and being that they also have the exact opposite political ethos to the average gulliotine advocate, I'm willing to bet any uprising is not going to be so simple.

Think less French Revolution, and more Autodefensas Unidas de Colombia

The only productivity hack that ever worked for me on a multi-year basis was just to do what is intensely interesting to me. Everything else will fall by the wayside sooner or later. There has been no magic in finding those things either. It has been luck of the draw. Though they're usually challenging and provide near endless amounts of novelty for years on end. Once the novelty or challenge wears off the spell is broken.
>no version of social distancing or lockdown that permits normal brick and mortar economic activity

I happen to agree, which is why I struggle to explain the last few week's stock price gains for companies that can hardly adapt e.g. DRI, SIX. Sit-down restaurants and theme parks.
> It would be a non-functional state of life, sacrificing all long term objectives.

If your long-term objectives mean sacrificing (or delaying) happiness in the now, then I think you're doing the wrong thing.

It's all well and good to have long-term objectives, and we all hope we beat our life expectancy numbers, but you have to make every effort to be happy now, and not wait for some distant and uncertain future that may or may not become reality.

> The major difference might be that I have always had a "I trust you more than I trust myself" mentality, and I feel like I can tell her anything and not be judged. She doesn't have to give me solutions to every little problem but she will listen.

When I said "best friend relationship", this is what I was referring to. My real-life best friends don't share all of my interests or politics, so I know that's not the dealbreaker I may have made it out to be in my original post. The difference is that I can share my thoughts and feelings openly with my friends without feeling like they're going to share what I said with other people, or judge me, or take it upon themselves to fix my situation -- and I can't say the same for my parents.

I'm glad you're grateful for and recognise the special relationship you have with your Mother, as I think it's more rare than you may realize.
USB power delivery does not use the data lines at all. It negotiates the permissible voltage and current using Vbus pin only. There's no reason why your USB data port needs to be enabled while charging. Just disable it. I actually have a charge-only thunderbolt cable in my desk ... it's incredibly irritating because the only way to tell the difference between it and a real thunderbolt cable is that it doesn't work.
How do you imagine this would work? Would no one in America found companies anymore? Would the government sit by and allow the to leave? How would companies like health insurance leave?

Imagining that the richest can hold a country like the US hostage is preposterous.
> any pilot will tell you that feeling all the forces is actually big part of good piloting, as you can feel what the airplane is experiencing & act accordingly.

Going to argue against that generally. Vestibular disorientation is a significant killer of pilots. In instrument flying, you specifically train to ignore those sensations. Fly the numbers, not the feelings.
The figures say otherwise [1]

We’re healthcare and education more accessible? Cheaper, certainly. That’s different from accessible.

I was a child then, and I vaguely remember easy access to GPs, but specialists required travel. Long travel.

A smaller portion of the population went to college. Seems more accessible now.
It reminds me of a buddy telling me about his MOPP training in the Air Force. He said if there was ever a large scale biological/chemical attack, trying to decontaminate and drink water through a tube in your gas mask was going to get overwhelming real quick. It just takes one bad drink. The gas mask strapped to your leg was just a security blanket.

I forget what my actual stats are, but it was difficult for me, too, but I did get a successful and good job.

I think it was 55 resumes- 11 contact made/ tech exams - 21 rejections - 6 interviews - 1 offer. (about 40 days)

I am bad at technical interviews, but I got better the more I did them.

Keep at it! You can do this! :)

> For some of these companies, I applied with a non-traditional, branded resume. ... Since I only used these types of resumes with 6 applications, I’d say glowing compliments on 3 out of 6 is pretty solid performance.

If we view the purpose of a resume as getting an interview, then that's how we should evaluate changing them. By my reading Matt scored an interview 4 out of 6 times, a 66 percent success rate. Assuming the rest are the control, that leaves 10 applications and 3 interviews -- 30 percent!

That's pretty great really, but we have to wonder, did Matt randomly choose which companies got the experimental treatment, or were certain companies 'too risky' to try something new with? Or did he try to match up his application style to the companies somehow?
British Gvmt Adviser Questions Science Behind Two-Metre Social Distancing
https://sports.yahoo.com/coronavirus-social-distancing-lockdown-scientific-advisory-group-for-emergencies-180826409.html

From that URL:

"Robert Dingwall, from the New and Emerging Respiratory Virus Threats Advisory Group (Nervtag), said the rule was 'conjured up out of nowhere'. The sociology professor at Nottingham Trent University said scientific evidence supports a one-metre gap, but the two-metre advice was a 'rule of thumb'.

Nervtag feeds into the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage), which is spearheading the [British] government's pandemic response."

Laura Ingraham may indeed have been correct when she claimed during Monday's broadcast[May 4 on Fox News]:

"Although, intuitively, I think it probably seemed like social distancing would be necessary, there was no real scientific basis for believing that since it had never been studied,"
There is no significant relationship between any measurable attribute of someone and their wealth, except for the wealth of their parents. So no.

There are a few relationships between IQ and conscientiousness and wealth, but they break down towards the extremes are not strong enough in magnitude to account for even single-quartile mobility.

No... But the drivers _are_ expected to implement a standardised interface. So whilst you're beholden to the OS on how to access it, it isn't an insanely obtuse Android-style interface.

For example, if the driver implements iio/accel, like it should for a Linux device, then you can either use the C-interface (including via FFI), or just treat it like a file and read/write from it however you feel like in your chosen language.

You don't _have_ to use C, and C-style semantics, to get at the accelerometer. You can use any language that can either read/write files, or has an interface to FFI.
There is a much simpler alternative. The general strike.

It needs to be cheaper than cost of ‘virgin PET’ including the taxes levied on the material itself, technically. I haven’t done the math to incorporate the tax duties of the hydrocarbons used to form non-recycled PET but I assume currently most countries levy no tax whatsoever on PET itself, regardless of source?
Because of the cargo culting, you see all sorts of Fortune 500 companies using this for fairly critical end-user tasks and failing at it. Air Canada did a redesign a while ago and I still can't book a flight on there. You look at the console and it's barfing all sorts of client-side errors and 500's. I would rather have a static, slow, reloading app that is reliable.

There are good uses for SPA's like ticket sites that have virtual queues and office applications. I just don't see the advantage SPA's give me for a lot of critical things I need to do in my life.

They can only do so because of the bottom 80% from which they extract their profit.
As a child at one stage of my life I was terrified of dying, and every time I learned about a new way to die, I became certain I was in the process of dying in exactly that way.

Then as I learned more about science and statistics I realized that most early deaths are rare, and not only that but evolution guarantees they are rare, because we all descend from people who made it long enough to raise a family.

Of course rare doesn't mean impossible, and if you are truly sick see a doctor ASAP, but otherwise remember you're just an experimental branch on the great tree of Life and enjoy your time in the sun. We all have our time in the light, and we all return to the earth when that time is up.
The Kerouac anecdote is amazing and strongly supports the learn-by-typing approach to programming.
I suspect what you may be describing is that it doesn't resonate with everybody all the time. But I think it's pretty common for some life experience to hit hard and someone realizes that all the corny, hackneyed cliches, as silly and overly simple as they seemed, basically had something to it. Then it clicks.

But I am sorry to hear about the toll on mental health.
I used to have a 1.5 page resume covering boilerplate, keywords, and highlights with a longer cover letter giving more detailed background. In a post interview critique I was told that the resume was too sparse. I pointed out the cover letter has what he wanted to see but of course that never made it to his inbox. New tech job search can't reliably manage two digital documents so I just merged them into one as a safety precaution.

The notion of a cover letter is pretty outdated for most jobs. The people still teaching their use are firmly rooted in the age of sending unsolicited job applications via mail that will be screened by a human.
Great, thanks! I didn't expect that site to be still up with the latest tech, and wow it has not only kept up but improved a lot!

How about ripping Wal-Mart apart and replacing it with what existed before - many different shops, each owned by a local person, and many different logsitics networks, each also owned by someone in the area?

People on the right often claim to be for the free market and for small, decentralized government, but then turn around and love big, centrally planned conglomerates,just as long as they are owned by share-holders and are ruled with an authoritarian hand.
You read these headline grabbing stories, also like the one about the couple stranded in Tahiti during this virus, or the original actual guy behind "The Terminal" movie -- and you usually find out that the story is almost always one of bad judgement combined with somewhat unusual circumstances that they aren't trying to avoid like a normal person would.

Sometimes the news tries to make it seem like they were unwitting victims who slipped through the cracks and are lost in the system. But no, they're actively acting pretty dumb too. Not much life lesson to be learned from these cases, just spectator sport.

This guy is wanted for assault, was in Vietnam, hmm? He'd be lucky if anyone wanted to make a movie out of it.
> There is no runtime and practically no framework

As a fan of Svelte, I really wish people would stop repeating this. There _is_ a runtime in the form of repeating patterns of code, which are objectively less ideal than the not-so-revolutionary approach of just having a runtime. Newer libraries do have centralized runtimes (e.g. Solid.js) and perform better, so there's no real correlation between "no runtime" and having best-in-class perf. On the other hand, the question of how the Svelte repetition scales as an app grows is a constant worry that drives away would-be newcomers.

The MLB agreed to it. The point was to get a large random sample of people across the country...it doesn’t have anything to do with baseball otherwise.

My read is that this is more a bad thing than a good thing. I think the assumption was that asymptomatic spread was more prevalent across country than we thought, but this would disprove that theory.

Also they noted that these people are on average a higher socioeconomic status than average American, and takeaway is that those who have been able to WFH probably have a much lower prevalence of antibodies than essential workers, even in hard hit areas like New York. Something to consider.
I thought it was the other way round. Mom and pop pull money out because they need to use it when the economy turns bad, big players can ride the wave because their everyday lives really aren't affected.
> So really everybody has benefited.

> It's good to have a bit of diversity and options

It can be consistent to hold that those two statements do not hold in this case. GCC requires that developers uphold certain user freedoms (i.e. compiler extensions must be free software). Clang allows user's freedoms to be more easily violated.

It's fine if you want to hold those two opinions, but if you state them as if they're the only opinions, that's not great. If you don't acknowledge that they're predicated on beliefs such as "user freedom isn't important to the expense of software improving in other ways" (or such), then of course you'll have trouble understanding why one might view clang/llvm in the negative light of effectively enabling "GCC, but without GPL".
