I have seen some of my coworkers with portrait orientation monitors. On the odd occasion that I've tried it, I liked how documents and web pages fit so nicely, as well as chat clients. But after a while, I realize how much strain I'm placing on my neck. My suspicion is I'm using a wrong window placement or using it for the wrong thing.

Anyone who's happy with their portrait monitor setup - what do you use yours for, and how do you arrange your applications on it?

> I adapted the traditional whiteboarding exercise

Lots of engineer types freeze when they have to make a presentation. I remember a meeting early in my career with literally three people in a conference room and I almost had a panic attack. No white board. People I already knew. All I had to to do is explain my ideas to three people. I did improve. I've given many public talks sometimes to hundreds of people and today I like public speaking. But I'll never forget where I started and that the person I'm interviewing might be very nervous. Putting them up on a whiteboard and into presentation mode only amplifies that nervousness. Just talk to people. Get them into that flow that comes from talking about something familiar that they are excited about. For most people a whiteboard test is not exciting. But if you give me a paid take home coding exercise, that's exciting. I like code, and I like to get paid for it. So if you really think you need a test, consider a very high signal test that is the exact work they will be doing.

> I make sure to ask for feedback on the exercise and I've gotten all positive feedback from candidates.

In an unequal relationship like that you are going to get a lot of false positives. If I really needed a job my response would be "loved the exercise, looking forward to talking to you more and discussing next steps if I'm the right candidate".
I agree. I really dislike being asked to produce code of any complexity in an interview setting, although I do think it's important to see a candidate's code to understand how they solve problems for more senior roles.

Personally I'm way too anxious in interview settings to produce decent code. In interviews I find myself trying to get everything right first time, but in reality that's not how I work. I prefer to develop iteratively and debug as I go.

I'm also quite a slow and deep thinker. It's not uncommon for me to think about a problem for a good 15-20 minutes before writing any code. In this case I guess you would have some time to prep the night before, but I'd still be very nervous about coding on the day.

I prefer home assignments and that's typically what I'll do when interviewing people. I like to keep it simple and open ended. Simple because I don't want to waste their time and open ended to allow them some room for creativity because often we don't have explicit requirements in the real world. This has always worked quite well.
For comparison, you could have someone who isn't colourblind wear the glasses for a bit, and ask them if the reds appear orange to them.

"Hey bro, let's chat on (the) Matrix." Use your favourite client.

People need to be able to find the Element app with a search of Matrix. So the Element Matrix client should work nicely.
Working with a company that used Element as part of it's brand name, it was remembered, but no one ever said the Element part.
I've seen first hand that people aren't crazy about installing an app on their phone called Riot. Hopefully the new name works.
>Then let's raise the cost of adding a ton of CO2 to the atmosphere.

>If the cost to remove it is $80-$100 USD, then that should be the cost of adding it. We should start demanding they either pay the costs associated with someone else having to deal with it, or reduce how much they dump into the air in the first place.

This works until all the people who have enough trouble achieving a decent standard of living vote you out of office or revolt (depending on the system of government of the country in-question). Few things universally piss people off quite as well as standards of living going backwards.

The cost of removing CO2 needs to be cheaper. The cost of emitting less CO2 for a given standard of living needs to be cheaper. Carbon taxes that reflect the current price of removing carbon from the atmosphere are socially and politically unsustainable.

The goal is not to immunize, but to prevent hospitalizations (at least their goal according to the article). If this infection is downgraded to a cold level that doesn't damage the lungs, would that be a problem?

That said, I'm not sure other vaccines will be dropped. If any of the other candidates can give sterilizing immunity, that would be preferred.

The "race" is just to avoid shutting down the whole world again, and many governments are afraid of an uptick of cases in the winter.
As a heavy smoker, I'd be quite good in an interview where I was forced to type with one hand.
I gotta say; I haven't paid attention to Matrix for years, but I downloaded the Riot client again last week and HOLY COW. Everything is so smooth, beautiful, performant, and feature-filled.

They have Slack/Discord-like communities, awesome easy E2E verification, and almost every feature I want out of Discord, including video/voice chat powered by WebRTC out of the box.

Really incredible work the Matrix team has done on this. I was a decentralization reseracher for years, and I'd never imagined things would get this polished from a UI perspective. I think Matrix is the best current bet for decentralization services (Urbit following up in a close second), and will plan on digging in to hosting my own server at some point.

If you haven't used Riot / Element in a while, I highly recommend you give it a try. Smooth as butter.

[edit: the bikeshedding here is infuriating. "Element chat" is a perfectly fine Google query. users being entitled primadonnas (sorry, I know that's hostile, but I think it's warranted) and expecting every software release to have Google/Facebook tier marketing effort behind them is the #1 problem in the adoption of decentralized platforms, and should be eradicated from civil discourse about internet infrastructure. just my two cents.]
With nuclear umbrellas? Even with eco-fascist fundamentalists at the helm it is a hell no, absolutely no nuclear power even pretends to be that crazy.

It might have been a viable geopolitical picture before WW2 and a useful pretense for causus beli against other industrialized powers or a sick justification for lebensraum - effectively used like eugenics as an intellectual justification for why these current travesties are moral imperatives.

Now it would be even less effective than screwing for virginity. I mean screwing is capable of producing more virgins at least.

Probably the main problem with adoption of decentralized services is the overwhelming entitlement users feel to have everything delivered to them by megacorps.

Are parentheses not used in daily writing in your language?
That would explain the blatant projection of claiming Maltheusianism in industrial expansion when they are the exact opposite.
> Whether the resulting language is easy to understand is a far more complicated question.

That's why I hate them. A programming language is primarily meant to be read by people. If I see something like

thing noun object

What's going on there? Is thing a function? Is noun? Am I passing two arguments to thing, or am I passing the result of invoking the function noun with the argument object?

Hell, if I have something like

verb action

it certainly looks like I'm calling a function called verb with the argument action, but is the argument I'm giving to verb the actual function action, or the result of evaluating action?

Yes, in any given language there's probably a single answer to all of these, but I bet it varies from language to language, and I'd really, really, really rather not waste calories by having my brain try to figure it out.
> Talking to someone about code they have written and the decisions and thinking around their own code is so much more respectful and gives better signal.

Agreed. The best jobs I've taken had interviews like this, or paid assignments.

The clients are mostly Apache 2 licensed, and at least Riot Web has config options to swap out some of the branding at deploy time: https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/blob/develop/docs/conf...

It's not a marketed use case though, so I'm sure you could find places the app will still refer to itself as Riot (or now Element).

Alternatively the protocol is open so many third party clients exist: https://matrix.org/clients/ . Feature support in third party clients is pretty unevenly distributed though, E2EE in particular is supported in Riot and Seaglass, experimental in weechat-matrix and nheko, and absent in basically every other client.

It probably wouldn't go to zero. The IP and other assets are likely worth something to an automaker or auto supplier. But that number would doubtless be a lot less than valuation based on being the pre-eminent self-driving company in the very near future.
Looking at the Icelandic layout[1] from a programmers' perspective, the big difference appears to be that \, [, and ] need a modifier, Alt-Gr; and ; (semi-colon) is shifted.

The shifted semi-colon must be irritating in C-like languages, but even on US/UK keyboards, characters like ( and { need Shift, which admittedly is larger than Alt-Gr and there are two of them.

I wonder if the larger right Shift key can be mapped as Alt-Gr.

PS. Does Icelandic need the letter 'mu' often enough to dedicate a key to it on the keyboard?

1.6k-Year-Old Goblet Shows Romans Were Nanotechnology Pioneers (2013)
Whatsapp can be an extremely confusing name for non-native English speakers. I'm from Spain and I think 90% of the time I see it written in Spain, it's written wrong (wassap, whasapp, wuatsapp, whatsap, watsap, wuassap, wuassapp, whatsup, watsup, etc.). Sometimes a phonetically "transliterated" version is used instead, like "guasap", which I find more tolerable because at least then it becomes a genuine Spanish word, rather than a botched attempt at writing an English word.

Also, many people don't get the meaning/pun in the name at all (which probably is one of the reasons for writing it wrong). Even to me, with a good English level, it wasn't immediate because "what's up" is a very idiomatic greeting and not one that non-natives (or at least, Spanish people) tend to use in a natural way. It took some time to click in my mind.

That said, Whatsapp absolutely dominates chat apps in Spain... so I guess these issues are not that important after all. Or at least, not if you are at the right place at the right time.

Well, it's their right not to like her, as long as they obey the rules. The world won't miss her strident and dishonest voice.

Suggestion: offer multiple threads in the same window at once, since slack only offers 1 thread view at a time. IE where slack offers 1 sidebar for threads in 1 column, offer up to 6 threads in a window via 2 columns and up to 3 threads per column.

What it look busy when fully used? Yes, but sometimes when you are working in an Enterprise environment, you need to follow something across multiple rooms or channels and this would save users a lot of clicking back and forth.

while I'm sure there are oodles of feature requests already going, this would be one that would offer a genuine feature that slack does not.

This makes me very-very sad, but unfortunately that doesn't exists. Not only are studies are mostly observation, where you have to answer questions about what you eat (I can barely recall what I ate 3 days ago, not 3 months), and are usually funded by a corporation.
You can basically find a study for everything and it's complete opposite.

> We laid ourselves bare as a tax haven

This sort of silly emotionalism gets the conversation nowhere. If you can't write good rules to make companies give you money for efforts mostly done in other countries, what do you expect?
Exactly. And in a dense city like NYC, many customers wouldn't have a clear line of sight to the sky anyway. You could install communal antennas/receivers on building roofs, but at that point you might as well just pay for fibre or terrestrial mobile broadband.

There may be niche customers in cities (data redundancy/resiliency etc), but in general, the biggest advantage will be for rural/remote customers who currently pay above the odds for substandard service.

But the difference between Signal returning results for the messaging client and Element not returning results is just one of popularity and the fact that Element as a name is brand new. When signal was a nerdy thing used by few people it was not coming up highly in results either. Arguably Riot has more users than Signal did when it was called TextSecure, so Element is better placed to pick up as a name than Signal was.

Obviously Whatsapp had the advantage that its only competition in search results were typos and people mispelling whats up for comedic effect.

This is so true. I remember this when I had a conversation with a Spanish developer and he said Java mid-sentence...
> but you have to take into account how many people die in other cars in general

I do and I see a completely different topic. What's your point? That people die in accidents? Sure. That companies should be allowed to mislead even if this leads to deaths? Those deaths in "other cars" are not because the manufacturer mislead the consumer. And if they do they'll probably get the same treatment since there are laws against false advertising. It's done all the time [0]. The end result of all those practices is that the consumer is deliberately mislead into getting the wrong impression even without explicitly lying. There's nothing special about Tesla's case in this context.

> This is just blatantly false. No they don't.

> Why would you even make such a claim that is so easy to check

I checked and quoted from the Tesla website literally 5 cm above on your screen [1]. Feel free to point me to any other manufacturer who describes their technology like that. Or to any other 150.000 E car with advanced self driving tech whose driver attention detector can be tricked with an orange because the manufacturer refuses to implement proper systems based on cameras or capacitive sensors. Or to any manufacturer whose driver assists caused deaths.

This isn't about technology failing. It's about intentionally proliferating an image of that technology that makes it look more capable than it actually is. Tesla's marketing material consistently makes people paint a false impression of the system. That in itself is a good enough reason to label it deceptive.
