This could be an excellent opportunity for you to grow as a person by reflecting on how this made you feel and your privileged position; remember, equality tends to feel like oppression to those in privileged positions.

Nuclear family is also about lesser importance put of relationships with grandparents, adult siblings, aunts and so on. It also implies higher isolation from community.

It is not universally objectively the best thing ever.
What's your timeline for the Canada expansion? Would like to become your customer.
Definitely my experience. If I don't really care about the job either way I do quite well. If I really want or need the job I generally bomb the interview. So often I've ended up with jobs that I didn't care a lot about.
My dream is to have some kind of "working for myself" career like the creators of the Apollo or Overcast apps. Not contracting with companies as clients, just working on one small great project for regular people to use and selling it yourself. It sounds fantastic.
Thank you for this metaphor - it brings clarity and refocuses the discussion on the dynamics of the whole system.

Of course there are a few key differences between cells and modern humans: (a) we have empathy, and (b) we are are much more interconnected. This means that if a non-destructive entity is harmed, e.g. an unjustly deplatformed person, this produces a signal that propagates to others who were not deplatformed, through the story being shared and empathized with. So the antibiotic-like harm is much less containable.

If we want to use “deplatforming” as a tool, don’t think it’s even possible to effectively do. The high connectivity of human social relations means that there will always be another “platform” for their message to propagate. This is especially true with social technology (printing press, digital social media) although I suspect it was also true beforehand. Not even, say, executing someone is guaranteed to suppress their message. (Extreme example: Jesus/Christianity.)
Florida DOH confirms some labs weren’t reporting negative coronavirus tests
I think the point is that no one is being asked to derive a novel algorithm. It’s taken for granted that a person with enough experience will have an understanding of broad categories of algorithms and should be able to reason about the small changes to those algorithms that would be necessary for practical application.
Being good at LC requires being smart. Most people won't be able to do "justify text" in 20 minutes without looking up an implementation (and potentially memorizing it).
“Climate Justice” is a social scientific term. So if your focus is on climate models given a current trend, focusing on climate justice is certainly out of scope.

However, social scientists absolutely should focus on climate justice. And policy makers definitely should bring social scientists to the table when addressing policy to account for climate justice.

The climate disaster is disproportionately caused by a wealthy elite, and it disproportionately affects poorer communities. An effective policy like carbon tax could significantly slow the speed of climate change and potentially give us enough time build these beloved nuclear plants.

Climate justice is simply asking the polluters to either stop polluting, or at least to pay for their pollution.
Other answers talking about using git features are assuming that you don't care about Wiki/PRs/Issues/Labels/etc that are GitHub metadata not part of your repo history.

But GitLab does have feature support for extensive importing and mirroring. https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/import/github.html (Import your project from GitHub to GitLab) has a section on project mirroring.
Really? Our 95th percentile only goes above 1s when we are having problems, and nobody with any power in the company thinks that's good enough. Think about how much hardware capacity you need for a site getting even 100s of requests per second. If you can halve the p95 you can decommission or re-allocate close to half of your servers.

As several other people on HN have pointed out more eloquently, it's the variability that kills you faster than the average throughput.

The 100ms was not about end-user response times, it's referring to internal response times between servers. To make a page in 1 second you can't have 3 different services taking 700ms to respond, even if you can make all three calls in parallel. And if you have to call a bunch sequentially, you need the 75th or even the 95th percentile for those services to be pretty good otherwise your 95th percentile for the entire interaction will be very spiky.

I use it also that way. Gitlab does the same if you use ssh. They provide hooks on init so that gitlab knows if something happens.
One observation of mine is that interviewing is often more about finding the most feasible and consistent process rather than the most effective one. Whiteboard interviews make for consistent evaluation and it's easy to train up new people on a set of questions. Scoring based on how far the interview got, and the level of optimization of the approach used is relatively unambiguous. So it's logistically easy and less subject to bias - that's why it's popular even though it has little resemblance to day to day work.

A more effective interview would involve tasks that more closely resemble day to day work. However, the examples of this that I've seen so far make for much more ambiguous evaluation or are much more difficult to schedule:

One example interview process I've seen is having people submit PRs to a codebase to fix bugs or implement features, and then review a PR submitted by the interviewer. This more closely resembles day to day work, but has the disadvantage of spreading the interview process across multiple days. Additionally, you might tell the candidate that they shouldn't take more than 2 hours to implement the PR but who knows if they spend 10+ hours on it.

Another alternative interview format is a 2-hour long one that starts with the interviewer asking "how would you build a text editor?" There's no right response. If the candidate gives responses like ropes and gap buffers then the interview might go in a direction focused on data structures and systems. Some candidates ask if it's a WYSIWYG editor like word, or an ASCII/unicode editor like Vim. In that case the interview might test the candidate's abilities to think through how to build an interface to decouple the UI and underlying data structures. The candidate might start off with a simple array, and work through why it becomes infeasible at larger lengths and think through ways to mitigate that. This interview was flexible to test technical knowledge and reasoning for candidates at any level, and could go in a variety of directions. But on the other hand that makes consistent evaluation difficult and training people up on this interview similarly difficult. This was at a small company with maybe 30-40 engineers, where each team basically had total latitude on how it carried out its own hiring. That's not how a lot of larger companies' interviews work, which often emphasize consistent evaluation and multiple interviewers.

The only interview which does more closely resemble real world tasks, and I suggest that more companies employ is debugging interviews. It requires the candidate bring a laptop and that the company build a couple repository templates, but once that's done it's a very easy interview to conduct. Just observe the candidate debug and make note of how many bugs are fixed and whether the fixes do bad things like breach layers of abstraction.
If we (US) hadn't stopped building nuclear in the 80s, and had simply kept building at the same rate, our grid would be (near) zero carbon today. Not several decades from now if we hustle our asses off, today.

But that's not what happened. The anti-nuclear team won and we collectively made the responsible decision to fill our atmosphere with CO2 instead. Yay?
My Mom makes this point about nerves. In the last century when she was interviewing she got lost and showed up 45 minutes late to the interview. Thinking she had no shot, she was relaxed and interviewed well and was hired.

When she left that job 10 years later, her boss noted, that "one of the things she learned from her was that it was ok to hire someone who shows up 45 minutes late to their interview.."
Companies encourage you to study for the interview, providing you with links to books, guides and preparation material. They'll delay the interview to give you time to study more. So it seems pretty clear to me that corporate management sees it as a test of study skills even if interviewers don't.

edit: I'm talking about large tech companies, not the startups blindly copying their policies with little thought or consideration.
So the people you want to oversee the safety of nuclear installations are people who do not know reactor physics or civil engineering?

Also, universities are quite far from the political elite in France, none of which actually know about anything related to nuclear power plants. Engineer at the ASN are just that: engineers. They don't take decisions.
I'll preface this by saying it is utter, pure, unmitigated speculation.

With that out of the way, as someone who's lived in NYC for decades, I would say that most stories you hear with these broad strokes involve cocaine.

Looks like being an interviewer taught you a thing or two about the test content.
Economic is not my area of expertise, so I don't think I'm understanding. Are you talking about (1) something like a sales tax, where all companies that sell to, in this example, French consumers have to pay a tax based on those sales, (2) only if they have a corporate presence in France do they pay some portion of the profits made in France, or (3) something completely different and I'm 100% lost.

If it's (2) wouldn't that just incentivize businesses to sell to France but not employ French people, and if it's (1) wouldn't corporations just offload the cost of that tax onto consumers so that good are just more expensive in France?
Would be cool if you sourced your statements like the article did.

> How any of these attacks are useful though? It just gives them an excuse to retaliate.

You could say that to the other side as well.
If I'm not mistaken nuclear in France is actually pilotable quite fast, it is not instantaneous but it is really fast. You cover the risk of shortest term high variance with other means, but they basically already exist (hydro, gaz) and you don't need much.

This is not necessarily the case for all nuclear power plant, it has to be designed for that.

Many universities have a tech transfer program, ask about those. Keep in mind anything you develop with their time and money, they have rights to, which are usually arranged as a license royalty.

Here's a thread on the same article that ended up being largely about dynamic programming :)

https://lobste.rs/s/n8tyip/data_structures_algorithms_i_actu...

I still say it is a bad interview question, but there were lots of interesting examples I learned about.

- GCC splitting IA-64 instructions

- Trellis quantization in lossy video encoding

- Knuth-Plass line breaking algorithm (mentioned here too)

- Some algorithms I knew about, but which can be considered dynamic programming (I'm not sure how interesting this is): A* search, Dijikstra's shortest path, Myers common subsequence algorithm, transitive closure algorithm

I would say the GCC one is most interesting because there's a link to the actual code and comments by the developer.

The survey is meaningless if they do not disclose the questions.
I'd suggest letting them dive into your code, and make minor changes. That will increase the chances of them structuring their software the way you do, which makes teaching easier. If they get stuck somewhere, getting help is much easier for them.
I'm hesitant to argue more than I already did against that straw man argument. It's just a propaganda talking point, it's not actually an argument pro nuclear energy. And it's indecent.

But if you are honestly interested, read the greenpeace criticism of these studies to understand how the statistic might be false and how it can be disputed, https://wayback.archive-it.org/9650/20200415093014/http://p3.... Sure, it's easy to ignore that by looking at where it's coming from, but that goes both ways.

You have to follow the site guidelines whether others do or not. Any other approach would guarantee a downward spiral.

Please don't miss that the issue here is the pattern of comments by your account, not just what it posted in this thread.

It's true that we don't moderate everything. That's because we don't see everything. Flagging the worst comments is helpful, as is emailing hn@ycombinator.com in egregious cases.
I like the data science interview process a lot more, though I'm biased enjoying the kind of work I do.

It's somewhat common during a data science interview to be given the actual problem you would be working on if you took the job. Often times you're given multiple days as a take home or multiple interviews to go through it, because the problem is difficult enough it does take research to begin to hypothesize a possible solution.

Most software engineers would cry murder if you gave them a 3 to 5 day take home interview that is an actual problem the company is trying to solve. "It's free labor. They're taking advantage of you." but in the data science world solving a problem can take 3 to 12 months, not 3 to 5 days, so you can't solve it in that time frame, just come up with ideas that lead to paths forward. The company can't take advantage of you this way.

On the SWE side, a near equivalent would be pairing with someone on the actual code base with an actual jira issue for a day, learning the code base, seeing the problems in the bug tracker, and then deciding from there if those are the kinds of problems you want to spend the next handful of years of your life on.

I like this kind of problem because I know what my 9 to 5 will be for the next year to years and if it is what I want to be doing with my life.
In 5th grade, I was in a poor school district. My parents had been pushing (with other parents) for a 'gifted program' for years. Finally, in November, a program was being introduced. I was given a test - IQ test perhaps, but an entrance test of some sort. I went home, dejected at the stuff I didn't know - was asking parents what the questions were - "what is an octave?" was one I remember not knowing at the time. I'd "got in" to the program, but... we suddenly moved over Christmas to a newer school district. It was richer by comparison, although still in the same county.

First week at the new school, I was taken aside and given a test for their gifted program. Exact same test, which ... I completely aced, because I'd figured out all the questions I hadn't known in November (from parents). It felt like cheating, and I told the teacher about it later. I don't know why they couldn't have just taken the test results from the previous school - same county, shouldn't have been an issue.

Anyway, if you keep studying known questions, it will increase your chances of passing in the future ;)

yeah, but these anti-patterns are completely different everywhere. your insight isn't a signal at all, when the next interviewer isn't saying what they mean and evaluating only correct answers.
Sadly there is no uranium in France.
You didn't really reply to my comment as much as to something I never said. I didn't claim that my friends were cancelling me (I don't tend to be friends with jerks), and I also don't think that we are at "you may not criticise the church"[0] levels of heresy being cried right now. It's the tendency I find worry ing.

There's one genetic factor known for the performance variance against the stress, which is also called "warrior vs worrier":
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/stress-management_b_2671591

IMO, there's Moneyball-like opportunity for companies who can utilize (or, in another word, exploit) this aspect. A tech company may conduct tech interviews with a private environment & a traditional environment, and if one's performance is much better in the private setting, they might be able to offer a job with a reduce salary than the candidate's capacity shown in the private setting.

It seems odd that Dodge has the top score here, with Toyota and Honda significantly below the industry average. This runs counter to my personal experience and general perceptions.

Could this be deliberate? As working with people with anxiety problems is often a pain in the ass as they won't report problems for fear of seeming stupid or ask for help.

On a case-by-case basis. There is no black-and-white here, it is a journey that evolves.

"Disappear" isn't just for China or the Philippines: some right-wing hardliners in the US think liberals should be disappeared on the topic of confederate monuments, and some left-wing hardliners things right-wingers should be disappeared for suggesting liberals be disappeared.

However, I think a good line to start with would be: "holding an opinion that calls for the oppression, abuse, genocide, or death of an individual or group of individuals because you personally don't like them is a bad thing, M'kay?"

And then go from there?

EDIT: Here we go, people already claiming "deplatforming someone" is "oppression". To them, I say: crack a history book once and a while. Or maybe read a newspaper, like learn about Hong Kong's history in the past two weeks and what happened to individuals who protested Beijing's assertion of control on HK. That is not at all the same as Alex Jones getting deplatformed for spreading lies about Clinton running a sex ring out of a pizza parlor. If you think they are the same, we're doomed as a species.
While that might be the case for people you've known - I've seen it with people who prepared even more than the last time.

I've also seen the opposite - right? People don't prepare anywhere near as much as the last time and still get offers. I've seen folks get offers at Google and spent maybe a few hours preparing. Luck is just a very wild component.

With mortgages in the 1.5-2% range, a 600K house would cost you €750 - €1000 a month in mortgage payments, and that's not even taking into account tax benefits you may get. That's an absolute steal compared to what you would pay in rent in a place like Amsterdam or London.
Yeah, Google's interviews are whack. I've been rejected twice -- I think because of flubbing an algorithm question -- and after that I designed a new algorithm for my work that's getting published in OSDI this year, I think.

Warning: anecdote.

My boomer parents have a Tesla and complain constantly about its reliability. However, often this is a consequence of their own disinclination to the more "techy" interfaces that Tesla favors. There are several cases where what they see as the car's failures might be seen, by Tesla say, as user error.

There's a good lesson about design and demographics there. If you're selling expensive cars in the United States, consider building interfaces that are generationally appropriate to the only generation that has much disposable income in the U.S.
