> While we’re discussing this topic, let me tackle the elephant in the room and acknowledge that a design flaw in PCBA rev. 1.1 and 1.2 prevents this functionality (please see relevant documentation related to CC pin) on Braveheart and UBports CE phones. Thankfully the fix to the problem – the removal of two small components from the PCBA – is relatively simple to perform for someone with good soldering skills. At the same time I recognize that many community members, myself included, are not capable of completing this operation. To this end, we will set up a chain of local (in your geographic area) workshops, makerspaces or individual technicians capable of performing this fix, so you can send your 1.1 / 1.2 phone to them to complete the repair.

I think you are very wrong. Every single software person I know at a FAANG spend multiple weeks studying leetcode style questions.

Blaming this one on the content of the material posted misses the forest for the trees, and denies your responsibility to post content of sufficient quality. Newsworthy is not sufficient if it’s filled with outrage and has a clickbait headline.

I flagged it, because I considered the linked headline and writeup to be of excessively poor construction and quality. The material itself was interesting once I grasped it behind the layers of distraction and outrage-rabblerousing, but I can’t endorse that presentation style here and so I absolutely flagged it.

If you had written up a blog post about this event, linked to supporting material such as the Reddit post, and offered some background on why this is new and terrifying — then I might have upvoted it instead of flagging it.

I agree, though I would never make such subjective judgments as to the difference between necessary and unnecessary force without seeing a video.

This preemptive underdogging attack on people who disagree with you disguised as a self-defense is a huge red flag that you don't have personal conviction behind what you're saying.
I personally have no beef with systemd and completely agree with you that having a simple and standard way of composing services/daemons is a wonderful thing, and one that was sorely lacking for a veryong time indeed.

My impression from the systemd debate is that those that are against it feel that way because of the breadth of systemd - it's much more that "just" about service units.

20 years startup/internet engineering here. I have "failed" roughly 50% of my interviews usually as the result of failing the coding rounds. Almost all of fails were conducted by someone with nearly half my years of experience who were interviewing for something from the CS academic curriculum. When I am asked to conduct an interview, I don't do anything much more complicated than a glorified fizzbuzz. I prefer doing architecture interviews.

My biggest problem with algo interviews is most of them are trying to determine if you happen to be familiar with one particular algorithmic solution to something - if you don't happen to know that one algorithm, you fail. In the real world, you have to learn as you go. You never know the solution to every problem in advance.

Cross check the OP ranking of 3 months of ownership against that of Consumer's Reports, which tracks car reliability over a decade. The two orderings differ enormously, likely because:

1) A car with fewer options/features has fewer parts that can fail.

2) Cheap cars are held to a lower standard than expensive cars.

You'll note that the OP's ranking puts cheap featureless cars at the top and expensive complicated cars at the bottom. This says little about brand quality and a lot about the fragility of complex systems.

> And a lot of interviewers as you say, especially at the top firms, don't really care about "how a candidate thinks" at all;

From my direct knowledge of some “top firms”, if you only cared about correctness then you wouldn’t be able to fill out the interview feedback form.

Transparency may help, but in my experience, that’s what recruiters actually do and some of them are fairly good at it. The recruiter has a strong incentive to get you hired (they get bonuses for hiring people!) and will explain as much of the process as they can, if you are willing to listen.

That said, there seems to be a fair bit of turnover in tech recruiting.

And, as you said, every interviewer will be different. But I don’t see a way to fix that without eliminating technical interviews altogether. You are being judged, the interviewers are subjective, they do disagree about the rubric, and a bunch of money is on the line. It’s completely reasonable to be anxious. I don’t really see a way out.

Wild - I experienced this first thing in the morning. I'm running Windows 20H2 (19042.388) and Office Beta (v2008, b13102.20002) and assumed it was from the recent updates. Online repair didn't work, full repair didn't either, but a complete uninstall/reboot/reinstall worked and preserved my profile just fine (I thought it was perhaps the profile too but guess not) - Wild!

So much agreement here. Who hasn't been rejected by some 25 year old who's been with the company all of 6 months and who asks silly questions straight from LeetCode? I have literally been asked questions that were PhD theses 30 years ago.

How is any of that supposed to be part of a good interview process? My only solace here is that those things are red flags on the company side, so I might have dodged some bullets.

That's my take. Just random garbage. There is a thread of something in there, but I don't have the time/ energy to quite get it. Something about a fake hack, Rickrolling, and piping curl to the shell. Beyond that I gave up because it's too poorly organized.

I haven't owned a car for about 8 years, but I use Zipcar rentals about once a month for recreation. The cars are often different models, so every time I drive I have to figure out how to adjust the steering wheel, seats, mirrors and go over the controls. A couple years ago I used Zipcar on a trip to Spain and drove it into France (I'm American). After a month of not being in a car, operating one seems exciting and dangerous.
Pretty much. If you leave and come back at the same level within 2 years they skip it, but I'd been gone for 6 years, and I was coming back 1-2 levels higher (part of the point of interviewing was to determine level). They want to determine if you a.) forgot how to code, which is entirely possible if you've been doing other stuff for a while and b.) have learned something new & valuable that warrants a promotion.

The panel was different, too - my first time around I had 2 algorithm, 2 UI (Javascript), and 1 system design interviews, while the second time was 2 algorithm, 1 behavioral/leadership, and 2 system design interviews. This is probably reflective of the differing role and higher level.

I've felt a bit like this after just a couple of weeks! One time last year I parked up at the airport and headed on a business trip for 2 weeks. When I got back to my car and sat in the driver seat, everything felt strangely alien and uncomfortable. I really felt like I had to think about what everything was, where it was, and how to use it. Maybe just me!
From my experience it won't get you the smartest people on the planet, but it will get you people who _think_ they are the smartest people on the planet.

At Google I've worked with some very humble but also super intelligent awesome engineers, people much smarter than I. Definitely the majority of my interactions. But I've also worked with people who clearly took the "Google hires the smartest people" company line, and their own success at it, a little too personally.

I don't think it's a good message to send. Although to be fair I haven't heard internally in a while.

Also I don't know if it's really a gold sticker anymmore. Nor do I think it's true that the smart people leave. Some do, but honestly, there are some damn brilliant people at Google who have found their brilliant corner and produce brilliance there.

Or some people here who are just brilliant at playing Big Company. Unfortunately there's more of that all the time.

I understand what you're trying to say - but that is not what identity politics is, per se (I'm not advocating for identity politics either). The usual criticism of identity politics comes from proponents of class-based politics: American identity politics tends to split the working-class vote and obscure the fundamental inequities of society.

In fact what you seem to be arguing against is stereotyping based on your identity. This is in fact a big part of what identity politics argues against, and would consider it to be a form of racism or sexism etc.

However a certain type of (usually well meaning, white) college liberal will want to "respect your background" by which they mean what they think you are like, based on various prejudices they have accumulated until then.
Thank you for the response.

My thought is that the weight of the flywheel matters. To be able to absorb / release a tremendous amount of power, I imagine this flywheel would need to be very heavy. If so, wouldn't it non-linearly differ in efficiency from the near vacuum & magnetic bearing designs we've built before?

Perhaps the proposal is to build a large array of smaller flywheels that don't have to deal with the problem I imagine?

At the start of my third year as a student, I biked through a record-worthy rainfall to my first interview with a small local games studio. Showed up completely soaked, but sat down relaxed and feeling reasonably confident. (I had done a handful of unity and opengl projects.)

The interview started with a bit of small talk, I chatted with one of the guys about Brood War and Starcraft 2. Later during the technical interview they asked me about the difference between private, protected, and public and said I was the only student they had interviewed who had answered correctly which was wild and honestly stunned me for a moment.

They liked how in one of my examples of scripting something I had written some fun dialog and I mentioned I did writing as a hobby which seemed like a plus. I talked about which classes I enjoyed the most and how they were challenging/interesting.

I did not get a job offer and learned from a friend that I had come off as "depressed and disinterested" (I don't think they realized he was going to relay that info to me...) All I can do is guess that it's a combination from showing up completely drenched and sharing how I enjoyed those "challenging" classes made it seem like I would get quickly bored of scripting...

After that, I bombed an interview for a QA role because I went into it completely unprepared for just how much it would differ from a programming interview.

Point being those first two experiences got in my head and I basically had anxiety over anything job-hunt related for the next 2.5 years.

When I did get a job, I was extremely happy with the interview process (even though I felt I did poorly on it). Here's more or less how it was structured (TL;DR):

- Office tour/chat with a programmer who had referred me
- quick 5 minute introduction to senior programmers in charge of the technical interview
- 1 hour alone in a meeting room with a laptop and 4 written questions (a generous amount of time)
- ~15 minutes reviewing my answers with the senior programmers
- importantly, they gave me a chance to talk about my answers and when I got something wrong they would simply state that it had an error and see if I could spot it
- 15 minutes on C++/memory/performance/behavior quirks (important stuff in AAA games)
- ~30 minutes talking about stuff I had worked on
- occasionally they would mention something related I hadn't heard about and explain it while gauging how well I could follow along

Basically, based on my own interview experience/anxiety if I had to choose an interview method, it would be very similar to what I just mentioned. Seeing a familiar face and the introduction followed by the alone time did a lot to ease my anxiety. The time where I felt most comfortable was talking about the stuff I had done because I was very familiar with all of it/it was easy to talk about.

The process seemed less focused on where I had gaps in my knowledge and more focused if I had a decent amount of knowledge in general and if I had the ability to recognize and correct the gaps in my knowledge.

Sorry if it's a bit of an info dump, but it's something I think back to a lot.

Your definition of mild is a 'relativisation' of the problem. Since you mentioned H1N1, Covid has already surpassed its death rate in just just 3.5 months and it is on its way to cause 1.5 - 2 mil or more deaths world wide just for the first year... even with the huge restrictions all the countries are doing.

Also, the non lethal, non-mild cases, are at least 15%, which means hospitalization. H1N1 was never this bad, and we are no near achieving any herd immunity.

"The 2009 H1N1 pandemic was estimated to be associated with 151,700 to 575,400 deaths worldwide during the first year it circulated."

A video stream of some sort while kids are playing a game together, like Minecraft or Animal Crossing, seems to work well. The game takes the place of blocks/toy for them to interact with and takes the stress away from them having to give full attention to each other which younger kids aren't really equipped to do.

*ymmv, but it seemed to work reasonably well for my kid and his friends 6-9 yr old age range.
