That sounds like suboptimal interviewing on their part. So long as you understand programming fundamentals, you should have no trouble looking up documentation on the fly while on the job, as opposed to memorizing everything before the interview. It might take you a little bit to get ramped up and productive, but that’s normal.

I have only been asked once to answer specifics about the idiosyncrasies of a particular language or framework. Everything else I’ve been asked is about generic algorithms and data structures. Sorry that this doesn’t help much, I just find the kind of interview you encountered pretty frustrating.

Have all the companies you applied to been like that? Because clearly you and I have different interviewing experiences.

Uneed Frontend: A list of 179 hand-picked tools for frontend developers
Hello HN,

I'm super excited to publish here Uneed No code, a list of tools for no-code developers, sorted by categories.

The idea is simple: every week, I add new no-code tools that have been talked about on the internet (or that I've tried myself) and classify them in a category.
Having Uneed No-code in your bookmarks will allow you to find the best tools when you need them.

You also have the possibility to suggest tools to add, or to promote your own.

Feel free to give me some feedback :)

This reminds me of a time when I was working at Target and my manager let me spend an hour to straighten out the shelves for spices, which were horrendously disorganized, with incredibly incorrect inventory counts.

That was one of the most satisfying things I've ever done, sorting every tiny container, counting them, backstocking the excess, marking the empty shelves, straightening the guides…

Pure bliss.

JIRA offers an almost limitless amount of customization to fit any workflow. I think the custom attributes/fields/reporting part of it adds a lot of complexity.
In particular, this passage about asserting control over chaos resonated with me, as a software developer:

> I sort of think that it has to do with creating calm in chaos. There is so little in the world that we have any control over. But what happens at our looms, that thing, we have control over. And if what happens on our looms becomes total chaos, then patience, tenacity, and time will make it work. That’s why I did it.

I can, but depends on your stage of the dating “funnel”. Here is my advice in a nutshell:
Imagine dating as a funnel, where you have the following steps:
1. Your profile (landing page)
2. Initial message
3. Banter
4. Initial phone call
5. 1st Date
6. Follow up banter
7. 2nd date
8. Deepening of relationship
9. Go/no-go determination

Where I personally initially struggled was the first two steps. What I learned most was there is an art to taking good profile pics. Doing a great job here makes 95% of the difference. Learn how to take the best profile pic you can. We can’t help our natural attractiveness, but even the best looking guy can look horrible if they don’t focus on this. Best way to help yourself is use an objective “scoring” method. I used this site:
https://www.photofeeler.com
It is somewhat painful initially (as you get scores below 5), but if you work on taking better pictures of yourself... it gets better, currently my best pic is a 9.4/9.5/8.0... but it took me literally 3-4 weeks of taking TONs of photos... I started at 4.5/4.8/4.5.
Once you master your pics, then you need to practice grabbing their attention, and keeping it. I can go farther, but hopefully that helps at least a bit.
> I don't know which lens Jeff used in his video, I would have to rewatch it and I'm not inclined to do that.

He uses the "official" 6mm lens.

I use it daily for video and I just loaded it up and re-checked - I don't see distortion like in that reddit posted image. I see something very similar to the examples in Jeff's video. I highly doubt he'd have post-processed the video, that would be extremely misleading. In the context of similarly priced webcams that are available to buy in 2020, I find it very usable and not at all terrible. But I do appreciate it's all subjective.
J2ee is now called just Java EE afaik (for a while now). I think Spring was new hotness a few years back and java ee was waning could be totally something new now.
I agree with this, to some degree.

But I've also known that macOS verifies signatures for as long as it's been doing it. This was no secret, it was advertised as a feature.

I assumed it wasn't being done in plaintext, because who would be so foolish as to code it that way? and I'm still plenty mad about that. Anyone could have checked this at any time, presumably people did, and the only reason it became a story is because the server got really slow and we noticed.

Apple says there will be a fix next year, which... eh better than nothing, not even 10% as good as shipping the feature correctly to begin with.

But of the many things about this episode which are worthy of criticism, Apple being deceitful is nowhere among them. Never happened.
Demanding SV Suppress “Hyper-Partisan Sites” in Favor of MSM Is a Fraud
It's missing a link. The article directly references a paper, but gives no way to unambiguously locate it. That's not a source, it's an open invitation to research.
That’s true of every single organization and every single individual.

You can always justify a conspiracy theory on the basis that you can’t prove a negative like this.

Let’s consider another conspiracy theory:

“A state actor wants to install spyware, and Apple’s OCSP is a barrier to their goal. They are running an influence campaign to get users to opt out of security protections.”

There is no evidence for this theory.

But “for all you know” certain people posting here have been paid to spread disinformation as part of this conspiracy.

(Just to be clear - there is no evidence for this, and I don’t think it is likely)

In the absence of evidence, it is not rational to completely dismiss either or both possibilities (that Apple has a hidden agenda or that there is a conspiracy to weaken Apple’s security).

What is irrational is to use the absence of evidence to the contrary to convince yourself that something is obviously true.

However on the broader point - I agree that we should not be reliant on trusting Apple for our privacy and security, and cannot afford to be as we move into the future.

We need a public domain infrastructure that produces similar or better security and privacy outcomes to the ones Apple is claiming to provide.
Spot on. This also feels like a strategy that won’t age well. It’s tough if not impossible to deliver great UX from a bunch of acquired pieces. Slack’s relatively short path to wide adoption is evidence that the world is less and less tolerant of poor UX, even in the context of business software.
That's insane. Are you in a small market or something?

The whole process of factory farming is brutal. Trying to sugarcoat it by calling them no-death eggs is semantics at best.

It changes nothing about the factory farming system, the number of culled chickens, or the conditions the unculled chickens are kept it.

The only difference it makes is now people don't have to see cute fluffy birds tossed into meat grinders.

It makes people feel better while changing nothing about the fundamental problems of the system.

Kind of like recycling.
There are way more MDs making much less than you'd think. Some specializations especially are also feeling the pain of tech disruption, like optometry (most optometry offices rely on glasses and contact sales, which are drying up thanks to online stores) or radiology (thanks to ML image processing).

I am Brazilian(and a major football/Pelé fan), so heavily biased here.

And I don't see the competitiveness of leagues/or time holding up as an argument.

Pelé dominated his competition for a long time, he won national and continental championships multiple times as well as being the star in two world cups, one of them at the age of 17, his numbers are better as well.

Maradona in the meantime spent a solid amount of time in both Europe and South America and wasn't continental champion, so relatively speaking, he wasn't as dominant in his time as Pelé was during his own.

And if you argue that competitiveness is ever increasing, you have Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo with much better numbers and a decade-long dominance, I would argue even Zidane, Romario and Ronaldo above him in terms of results.

Maradona comes from a time when governments were highlighting football for need of national unity. Pelé was used for media in the same way.

He's definitely one of the greatest when it comes to how symbolic he is to the game, he represents Argentina's rise to the top of the football world, which has followed as Argentina has consistently put great players since, but I have high reservations as to calling him the best of all time.

One half of the country is bad. The sooner we pull our heads out of the ground (and other low regions) and face up to that truth, the better off we'll be. A key aspect of critical thought is that there is no inherent virtue in denying reality, and the reality is that BSAB is no longer a viable rationalization.
yes there is no simple solution around tragedy of the commons.. so much so that at times I have felt that it might be our great filter. essentially the kind of survivalist, individualistic thinking that leads to one to innovate out a solution also becomes THE problem when you come close to exhausting the resource limit. Is there a distributed/decentralized solution out of this? I am not sure, basically any attempt at adjusting the underlying pricing structure to reflect carbon prices again has to be global and have some sense of fairness built in for newcomers & guess what they dont hold the power to force rich countries to adapt. so we are back to TotC just at the national level. and even if they do or there is a sudden moment of clarity for the rich & powerful countries any voluntary adjustments will only last till there is a real recession then another DJT will be there to spin an 'alternate fact'.

this is why I feel creating another parallel industry of carbon capture may be the only way out of this mess. that too imho will work when fear starts to take hold. the big question is how much time we as a species will have to react before it becomes SHTF.
That is certainly true. But there is a World cup every four years and in most cups in the past, let's say, 20 years, there is an eliminatory game with an equally great or greater goal. I think this goal has become legendary because of:

- Maradona's dominance as a player throughout the -86 cup
- The Falkland Islands war just a few years prior giving this game a special tension and attention
- It's beauty relative other goals at the time

My comment is just a reflection to often heard comments about it being the greatest goal ever. Judging it just by what the clip shows, it has faded for me. But the historical context is important.
Sorry to pry, but what does one do after a professional astronomy career?
I've experienced this as well, even after years of experience. The fundamentals all transfer, but ramping up on an entirely different language/stack/toolchain, an entirely different business/industry, and an entirely different company culture/management/process all at the same time can be a really big challenge, especially in more senior roles where expectations of autonomy are high.

But eventually you finally get over the hurdle and it starts to click. I've done it a few times, and each time I have to remind myself that I've done it before and I can get through it.

Fortunately, so much of being an effective senior engineer is not about programming. But it's hard to remind myself of that when I feel like a "bad" programmer in a new stack for a while.

> There would be no evolutionary purpose for plants to develop a sense of suffering if they have no practical use for that sensation.

You've made interesting points, but I think the most important point here isn't one of biology but of moral philosophy: animals presumably outrank plants in terms of moral standing.

Torturing a person is presumably worse than torturing a mosquito. A person has more capacity for pain than a mosquito, and in turn the mosquito has more capacity for pain than does a heap of sand.

I figure plants lie further down the ranking than mosquitoes, for the reasons you've just explained. They're certainly further down than farmyard animals. It would be considerable moral progress to switch from torturing billions of chickens and pigs, to torturing billions of plants (and that's ignoring that a plant in a farm environment is likely 'happier', in its own terms, than a livestock animal).

See my other reply. Edit: for the benefit of the downvoters, here's a concrete example of what I'm talking about: https://blogs.edweek.org/teachers/teaching_now/2012/06/texas...

From the bottom of the page: A spokesman for the Republican Party of Texas said that the "critical thinking skills" language should not have been included in the document after the words "values clarification," reports Talking Points Memo. The members of the subcommittee "regret" the mistake, he told TPM—however, since the platform was approved, "it cannot be corrected until the next state convention in 2014."

They regret the mistake, it sounds like, so I guess it's all good. Nothing to see here.
>Part of the problem is, engineers love shiny things.
Status pages are fundamentally boring things. Who wants to work on them?

I would work on a status page. It's a interesting problem, creating tests that prove services are viable at a place like AWS would be fun. However what I don't want to deal with is some director of so and so I never heard of yelling at me at 3 in the morning because my status page reported that his service was down accurately. I suspect that plays more into the problem. The status page is a political implement not a technical one.
Thanks - I appreciate the clarity of your comment breaking down the details.

If they self-host it, it signals that they're overconfident in their ability to maintain an accurate status page.

We are building it on top of a model trained with a large dataset of edits/comments editors on wikipedia found toxic or insulting. You can see more about the model here : https://github.com/tensorflow/tfjs-models/tree/master/toxici...

Scaling is only half of it. There is a lot more to Jira than just CRUD over a few entities. It's trying to be issue tracking and project management rolled into one. For example:

- Workflows

- Access control over fields

- Custom fields

- Release management

- 3P plugins and integrations

- API access

I am far from being a fan of Jira but they do have a rather large set of features. Every time I evaluate the hottest new issue tracking and/or project management solution, there is something lacking as compared to Jira.
That's definitely better.

But why do you trust that the silicon doesn't have any backdoors more than you trust the blob? We know for a fact that Intel puts one into the silicon, and that it takes significant reverse engineering to turn most of it off (it's not clear if all of it can be turned off at all) see e.g. https://hackaday.com/2020/06/16/disable-intels-backdoor-on-m...
> I agree that this is a good idea, but the market won't accommodate this kind of labor change without government help.

Why do you think that? It seems to me it is the government that is creating the financial and legal risk of hiring the wrong person or the base cost of hiring an unskilled laborer.

You also seem to be thinking about a subset of jobs that require some sort of advanced training/skills. But things like a universal minimum wage are examples of government regulation that increase the cost of labor for even the most basic of jobs.
I see what you mean. I understood the parent comment to mean that Salesforce can be used to basically build a bespoke saas app that you use at the heart of your operations, but I’d agree that doesn’t change the nature of your business as a commercial baker in this example.
> Local journalists are still free to write for foreign publications.

I don't know about India specifically, but in many countries working for the press gives you some special status. You are not supposed to be attacked by the police during protests, government officials owe some basic comment to you etc. Basically rights that allow you to do journalist's job legally and relatively safely. Foreign media probably don't enjoy the same privileges.

Also, when your freedom is being taken from you, finding loopholes doesn't really work in middle/long term. The regime has all the possibilities to close them one by one.

No. If Alice reports Bob, the report only includes the most recent messages from Bob to Alice as forwarded from Alice's local copy of their chat. No other messages are made available to WhatsApp. None of Bob's other messages to other people are included, nor could they be since Alice wouldn't have them. In your scenario, if Alice was law enforcement or cooperating with law enforcement, her reporting Bob and then them subpoenaing WhatsApp would only grant them circuitous access to messages from Bob they already had on Alice's device.
> A common refrain in arguments that we don't need laws to protect privacy is that the market will take care of it.

Stronger privacy laws hurt Google, Facebook, and Amazon far more than Apple. Most of Apple's privacy gaffs are just bonehead moves like this one which shouldn't happen, but also don't drive revenue.
