Welcome to the Internet.

Hot takes about interviewing are a dime a dozen because it's an easy thing to have an opinion about, and as long as you punch up then your takes will generally be accepted.

What's always missing from these articles is any empathy for the people on the other side.
Dovetails are easy if you have the right tools. But that's a $100 minimum investment, so you're going to want to have multiple projects in the works to really make the investment worth it. Doing them by hand is completely possible, it just takes a lot of time and practice to get right. Mortise and tendon or lap joints are much easier to do with hand tools and are a staple of classic wood working. Plus they are really forgiving. Took off too little: grab some sand paper; take off too much: add more glue and sawdust.

For most projects, glue & screw is fine. It's cheap and low effort. I use it in every utility project because speed > looks. I've never tested it, but I'm pretty sure that connection would be stronger than the wood itself.
- Antitrust enforcement

- Industry concentration

- Degree of divergence between popular will and policy (thanks Citizens United)

- Level and direction of inequality

- Bargaining power of labor (automation does not fully explain the cratering of this bargaining power)

- Level of corporate profits (compared to the past)

Generally, I'd also look at the correlation between increased productivity and happiness. If, in aggregate, we're producing more year by year, and yet people are becoming more miserable and anxious, something is wrong.

I dont understand what youre saying. An organization like the fsf or debian clearly has the resources to do outreach and supplant microsoft. There is already massive demand in countries outside the united states to replace microsoft.

It's very simple and doable. I just don't have time right now. Busy doing other things. But if I had nothing else on the radar, I would totally try to run that game.
You've definitely missed my point.
worth noting, at the end of christine's update mentioned above:

"I do not plan to make any future update posts about the V programming language in the future. The V community is something I would really rather not be associated with. This is an edited-down version of the post that was released last week (2020 M06 17).

"As of the time of writing this note to the end of this post and as far as I am aware, I am banned from being able to contribute to the V language in any form. I am therefore forced to consider that the V project will respond to criticism of their language with bans. This subjective view of reality may not be accurate to what others see."

TFA lists total time with clang and tcc backends. I believe it also has a beta quality x64 native backend now.
It's the fault of the Linux kernel, which insists against all evidence that drivers aren't valuable IP that costs a lot of money to develop and that it should all be GPLd, meaning the manufacturers don't bother writing them for Linux.
Nothing special about it, it's just another round-trip that you'd have to make.

There's also the statistical impact of many round-trips: imagine a network where 1% of connections take 1 second, while 99% take 1 milisecond. If you issue > 100 request then most page loads will be slow.
Prelude helped me start using Emacs around 8 or 9 years ago; it certainly got me up to speed and productive (once I disabled guru-mode ;) )

My .emacs.d is still technically a fork of Prelude, but I've gradually been replacing parts with use-package, since that seems like a more lightweight, generic, declarative, modular approach to Emacs config these days.
It got flamed hard on /r/programming several times.

My personal impression was that V was an extremely ambitious project by a single developer without much experience taking on such a project, and the feature list was more of a roadmap last I looked.

There were also some head scratchers in the implementation/libraries and I recall that the playground got pwned and there was a great blog post flaming it but I can't find it at the moment.

Or you are interviewing "for the company" (e.g. Google or Facebook). While it fits their processes, it's always seemed a way to create and reinforce lock in.
A reasonable period is: You tell them up front your ideal timeline, that you have a couple of other irons in the fire (if you do), and you keep them informed of the progress of those other fires. And they do the same for you. Maybe you can't get a timing that works for both sides together, but that is OK. The pressuring is what isn't.
Main lesson: we failed to make all the software JIT-compiled or AOT-recompiled-on-boot or something, that would allow retargeting the optimizations for the new generation of a VLIW CPU. Barely anyone even tried. Well I guess in the early 2000s there was this vision that everything would be Java, which is JIT, but lol

A book is nothing but a long, detailed, carefully-researched argument. Or, at least the book I'm recommending is that.

If there are words I can say to convince you to read the book, please tell me them.

Could you read through the linked thread, tell me if there's anything there that I should bring over here?

I think it also depends on the size of the company/department. A company with 4 people might be looking to bring on a 5th to fill some specific role. In that case, the offer to the second choice depends on the response to the first. On the other hand, a department with 300 people might be looking to increase head count by 10-20%, in which case the offers to each person are quite independent.

Latest AMD APU's are not fully supported by official AMD drivers on Linux just yet. I also ran into issues with Lenovo's Ideapad with bluetooth (ubuntu 20.04) and wifi (ubuntu 18.04).
Unfortunately, not just the last decade and not just SV. I've encountered most of these red flags over the past 30 years and I haven't even interviewed that often.
Just like reddit default front page and the Google News front and the Twitter front page.

But people love the subreddits for their interests.

There's no way to make a single front-page that everyone likes.
It is an oversight, but equally for people like me it is helpful - I know how to optimise C++ (maybe not at google scale on my own!) but I've bullied compilers and measured pmc's, I haven't got a clue how to optimise frontends (beyond my usual solution of give up go and do something pleasurable)
It’s perfectly reasonable for an Open Source software foundation to point out how a private company is misusing their software and misappropriating their brand.

Saying that Zig’s creators should sit down and be quiet sounds both condescending and craven.
HTTP logging is what an HTTP server does. It doesn't require JavaScript. Fetching a resource with "HTTP Access Logs" enabled on a server will indicate the what and who, if configured properly. The logs typically end up in a file on the server's filesystem.
That makes sense. For a period of my career I did some Prolog and always liked the way pattern matching allowed you to write extremely descriptive code.

Funnily enough, I think pattern matching is one of the most exciting things to happen in Ruby for a long time. While it isn't on a par with functional pattern matching it's still going to be incredibly useful.
Pretty sure this was the only available software, iirc it was some Vernier related thing.
> With apprenticeships you're really at the mercy of the Master who will instill in you their 'version' of how something must be done,

That is not necessarily true. The German apprenticeship model (which covers a ton of jobs there, not just artistic & blue collar) has a school component, and a shared test at the end of apprenticeship and journeymanship. This ensures a common standard on "how things are done", and a shared toolkit for anybody working in the field.
To the page author: if you adjust the following link (logo) to be the https variant, the site should read as fully secure:

Looks really neat! What's the catch here?
> only run on the machine where the compiler ran

clang is always a cross-compiler, including the versions shipped by Apple.
> What makes them scummy?

Breaking the TOS

> They want to make money without paying Apple's 30%

Too bad, that's what it costs to play in the Apple ecosystem.

> (for what? hosting the app would cost Epic very little, payment processing costs < 3% from anywhere).

Surely you think there is more to the management and delivery of app bundles to millions of people, right? You're reducing the value provided by the App Store too a ridiculous level.

> The whole point is that you shouldn't need to side-load or jail-break anything.

I agree! I don't need either of those things.

> You can put any app you want on your pc or linux machine. And no, we aren't all operating with tons of malware on those machines.

Great, keep up the good work.

> Do you pay for any apps? Wouldn't them costing 20% less bring you value in a very literal, "more money in your bank account" sense?

Not if the cost is letting more garbage from Epic/EA/Origin/Zynga/whatever into the App Store and on my device.

> This is simply not true. It's not a matter of opinion, there are fewer steps/fields to fill out and less time involved in deploying an Android app.

How is it not a matter of opinion? If I counted the number of clicks/fields/pages/panels/etc for getting an app onto an Android or Apple device, my anecdotal experience tells me that it's about half the effort to distribute an Apple app. But anyway, this metric is silly and ultimately doesn't matter to me so I'm not going to argue with you about it anymore.

> Android also charges less.

Cool; I see about 2-3x more money on iOS apps vs their Android ports. The difference in the $99 vs the $25 is made up in no time and it's a rounding error to any enterprise listing apps.

Agile needs design too. Agile does not mean you don't do any up front work or any design work, it just means you have agility to adapt to change as you progress. A well thought out design often helps you be more agile, not less.
How did they get 60 interviews? Do I really need to join LinkedIn?
I agree with you in general.

However I don’t understand how this relates to the article. Could you elaborate?

E.g. how would you address the difficulties described in the text?

> This wouldn’t have been a major problem unless it affected the entire industry: (...)
> How is Google so fast?

It is not. At least not in the way the article is talking about. So while yes, requests are fast, it doesn't really feel that way when I can't click anything for a good second after hitting search.

My browser takes roughly half a second crunching JavaScript, doing layout, and drawing the result page AFTER doing a whole boatload of HTTP requests. Annoyingly half that JavaScript runs AFTER the page is rendered (150ms-200ms of JS functions when I can already see results, why?), making the page appear to lag if you immediately try to click/tap something.

If they would serve the page as static html and css instead, load times could easily be below 50ms with another 20ms for my browser to present me with something that is interactive right away.

The impressive part is how fast they generate results.
So what exactly is this article advocating for?

- Not running background checks or verifying income on tenants?
- Stopping listing sites like Zillow from listing foreclosures?
- Stopping cash RE transactions?

Sorry, but as someone who has been involved with properties for years I am going to use the tools and data needed to ensure I am finding the right tenants that can afford to live there and will respect my property. I really couldn't care less what the "Woke Police" think about it.

Sure but you have to assume that at some point in the future that Nvidia is going to start making those non-Nvidia GPUs very difficult/expensive to use in future ARM designs. They could do this legally, technically through manipulating the reference designs to tightly integrate Nvidia GPUs, cutting support for third party GPU integrating SoCs or any of the above.
No, because Google never invests in making its products compelling until after they get huge, so they cancel the products before they get compelling.

Google+ put all its funding into cannibalizing other Google products against the will of those product builders and users, and none into making Google+ desirable.
I really wish this page did a better job explaining why "landlord tech" is problematic. It doesn't really go deeper than mentioning erosion of privacy (without concretely explaining how that happens) and making vague statements about racial inequity and evictions.

As it is now, it reads like an appeal to the general resentment of "big tech" and of landlords ("if it makes their jobs more efficient, it must be bad!") than an actual exploration of the problem.

I don't doubt that the articles linked at the end describe some horrifying real problems, but making the audience sift through a list of links is not an effective way of motivating people.
Actually, Nikola sued Tesla:

the overwhelming majority of recorded deaths were over 55 years old and had two or more comorbidities. The number of recorded Covid-19 deaths with zero comorbidities is some infinitesimal fraction (< 10%) of the overall “death count.”

A comorbidity is something that contributed to death, not necessarily a pre-existing condition.

Please take another look at the CDC report you’re extrapolating your claim from. You’ll see comorbidities such as

* Influenza and pneumonia

* Adult respiratory distress syndrome

* Respiratory failure

* Respiratory arrest

* Cardiac arrest

As it stands you’re essentially saying that if you have no pre-existing conditions, then being shot is fairly risk free. After all, people who die from gunshot wounds have comorbidities like blood loss, cardiac arrest, brain damage, laceration of internal organs, and sepsis.
How close to "production ready" do you feel Zig is, especially in terms of tooling and cross-platform support? It's a super interesting language for me, but I am hesitant to invest in a language which might not be truly usable for years if ever
If you can show something you've built using Airtable at a job interview, that could still showcase your ability to document requirements, deliver a solution and create some kind of value for your employer. Considering that developers sometimes don't have the best communication skills, showing > telling.

Developers have to start somewhere, and most aren't going into their first job interviews having previously written full-stack apps that weren't Twitter clones or thrown together for a hackathon.
Why aren't they as effective? Contextual ads is what made Google big in the first place, and intuitively it makes sense why they would be the best. It's really weird that personalized ads work well! Makes no sense. Everyone hates how they get ads for stuff they already just bought and so on.

> The author is just not an expert in this field. This is - for the most part - what Hacker News sounds like when there are discussions outside of computer science.

If only it were just that. He appears to be a con-artist. It's always interesting how things can sound similar and have entirely different intent and reasoning behind them.

This guy knew he was spouting lies while talking about the HTML supercomputer (assuming it's a correct quote from the trucking site in question). He has now been caught doing it repeatedly and to a rather dramatic scale. His interviews are full of half truths and dodges. It appears to be the Theranos playbook: try to get to a certain line where some product finally becomes real, before the clock runs out on the con.

Intentions matter a lot. There's obviously a vast difference between someone quite innocently discussing / opining outside of their knowledge lanes on a hacker news forum, and someone intentionally spinning an epic scale multi-billion-dollar fraud in the name of the profit motive.

The point being, if someone is talking outside of their lane on HN, I have essentially zero inclination to think they're knowingly attempting to commit fraud (intellectual or financial) in the process, as on HN it's almost exclusively a common, innocent form of ignorance at play. As contrasted with the intentional deception of a con-artist.

China's comparative advantage in clothing comes from long before there were any re-education camps in Xinjiang. The first phase of industrialization in China was based on clothing production. Compare China's exports in 1995 [1], which were heavily skewed towards clothing, to their exports in 2018 [2], which were much more heavily skewed towards electronics.

Xinjiang makes up only a tiny part of the Chinese economy, anyways. Xinjiang has 22 million people and exports barely $17 billion of goods per year. Guangdong has 113 million people and exports $440 billion of goods per year.

> In my opinion, we need trade rules that explicitly tax and tariff those countries who are only finding comparative advantages through exploitation and unethical activity.

That policy would lead to tariffs against most poor countries. I could imagine some unintended consequences there.

You are not alone. It's pretty heartbreaking to see how so many promising products are really surveillance nightmares.

I don't have a dog in this fight. I don't follow the aforementioned blogger and don't live on the west coast. That said, your response is interesting, how is my query toxic? To be honest, I don't even think I'm being uncharitable; if a previously reliable information source starting being unreliable then I would expect folks to pay attention to notice that and cease to use it as a source.

Silly me... :))
Want to comment as someone who has written small amounts of code in V and followed it since near it's inception:

V is essentially a much cleaner version of Go, syntactically. Though it adds many features that turn it into one of the nicest (IMO) languages to write.

It adds:

- Hot reloading, on a compiled language (WOW)
- Pattern matching/match statements
- Option/Sum types
- A really clean approach to handling Maybe results that I haven't seen in other languages before -- EDIT: I take it back, apparently my own ignorance here
- Generics
- C interop and compile/build integration that's incredibly easy

Some of my favorite bits:

// Error-catch + propagation on Maybe's with "?"
fn f(url string) ?string {
resp := http.get(url) ?
return resp.text
}

// Identical to this -- Option types must be handled with "or" if not "?"
resp := http.get(url) or {
return error(err)
}
return resp.text

number := 2
s := match number {
1 { 'one' }
2 { 'two' }
else { 'many'}
}

Additionally, the devs/community on Discord are really friendly, and they spent an hour helping me compile Facebook's reference C++ GraphQL parser library, and interop with the C API from V. I'd never touched low-level stuff before and the experience was a blast.

This was all it took (minus figuring out the C++ build process):

// app.v
#flag -I libgraphqlparser_compiled
#flag -L /home/user/Projects/vlang-graphql/libgraphqlparser_compiled
#flag -l graphqlparser
#include <GraphQLParser.h>
#include <GraphQLAstToJSON.h>

struct C.GraphQLAstNode{}

fn C.graphql_parse_string(text charptr, error &charptr) &C.GraphQLAstNode
fn C.graphql_ast_to_json(node &C.GraphQLAstNode) byteptr

node := C.graphql_parse_string("query MyQuery { id email }", "Failed to decode")
json_str := cstring_to_vstring(C.graphql_ast_to_json(node))
println(json_str)

And because the primary compilation target atm is C, performance is generally screaming fast.

Edit: Want to clarify it's still experimental. As a concept/language, I found it fun.
