Not to mention the delivery apps dishonestly jack up listed prices, as seen on these 2 screenshots taken within the same hour:

Then they have the guts to charge:
- delivery fees ON TOP of that
- then a service fee (WTF? you just charged for delivery service)
- then a CA driver benefits of exactly $2.00 (why is it an exact whole number? is every cent of that going toward health insurance?)
- small order fee
- rush hour fee

Yes! I've been on the interviewee side of this a couple times and absolutely love it. It has so many nice properties:

1. It fosters meaningful conversations about code that is not dependent on the candidate solving a toy problem.

2. As you said, it tests a candidate's ability to read and understand code.

3. It's actually representative of the type of work you _will_ do at any given company, i.e. code review.

The major downside is if you give the candidate code in a language they're totally unfamiliar with then that candidate will likely bomb. I think this can be mitigated by sticking with mainstream languages like C/Java/Python, or domain specific languages where not-knowing would be a deal breaker anyway, i.e. must know Swift for iOS dev.
Just wondering, if damage is mechanical, how many new materials are not safe in the same way?

We live in nano age, what are the chances that Graphene or any other nano material can have similar effect over long period of time?
I started my current job remotely, during the pandemic. If they seek to get me to spend two hours a day stuck on the tube, they have another thing coming to be honest.
This is not true. After the Kosovo war, the KLA (Kosova Liberation Army), disbanded, and some of their leaders joined politics.

Most just did what they used to do before the war: teachers, mechanics, drivers, engineers, nurses, students and so on...

Same thing happened in many European countries after WW2 was over.
Is it really expensive though?

I don't go out to bars. Those nights out add up quickly. I'm not into cars, which is a large money sink. I don't go to the movies, which is typically $20+ per person for 2-ish hours of entertainment when it's all said and done.

Adult hobbies are expensive. $2,000 spent across 4 years which gave me thousands of hours of enjoyment really isn't that expensive.

I think at this point in time it's either breaking backwards compatibility (definitely not desired by Microsoft's enginners) or breaking license agreements on the parts of code not owned by Microsoft (definitely not desired by Microsoft's lawyers).
Thanks for the great input.

You made a great point about white label service and that explained a lot about how deal with this.

We were just worried about what to tell when reach investors.
> So i am confused, do you agree with me that HN goes easy on big tech, or not? Because your argument seems to be the opposite of your conclusion.

Ok, let me make it clear: I agree with your quoted response, but I disagree with the substance and the narrative of your view from which it is told. It's very obviously a skewed perception from someone who frankly takes a very poor view of the overall health of what Big Tech has created to the detriment of us all. If you really think Microsoft is any less despised now, than it was back then now you are out of touch entirely as they are the epitome of the panopticon business model that colludes with Military and Intelligence agencies for contracts [0].

And just so it clear, a lot of people on HN do not work for FAANG, YC funds many startups that challenge those business models after all; so many here have no desire to work there, myself included.

What I take issue with is with the over-glorification of the 'intellectual lobotimization' and what are clearly very intelligent and talented people and the motivation(s) and consequences behind them and the acceptance of it as a casual dismissal of it with statements like 'well, I didn't see any of that when I was there.'

Of course you didn't, and that's the point about FAANG: things are purposely compartmentalized, isolated, and people there are kept content with infantile based distractions and financial incentives so much that they lose touch with reality entirely while within it.

You see this within Military and Intelligence agencies as well but that differs in that it is undertaken with some sort of perverse cult-like fraternal code of conduct and unquestionable loyalty to the State instead. The guy maintaining the bomber's engines is in a different department as the guy working on the engineering of the weapons and guidance systems on those 'smart weapons,' who is also in a different department than the guy piloting the plane that ultimately drops said weapons that kills everyone in a remote village, but that system doesn't warrant the rampant diffusion of responsibility for the death of countless innocent people who are deemed 'collateral damage' in the end, are they? They're all responsible.

And as seen in the military (Snowden, Manning), as well as in FAANG, should someone decide to even mention some obvious truths about these places in an attempt to make progress no less, they instantly get crucified: James Damore. And other activist Googlers [1] who dare to speak up and instantly become persona non-grata in a way to contain the PR backlash and distract from the nefarious acts of said perpetrator.

I think you are missing one of the two pieces the question builds on: Linear Algebra (do you know how a dot product is defined?) or Datastructures including their complexity. You would prepare by reading up on whichever of these two you are missing.

If you know how it's supposed to work in theory but struggle to bang it out, you could do eg leetcode.
If we had an agreed upon credentialing system with a unified standardized test series, under a non-profit consortium, like engineers, doctors, lawyers, actuaries, etc. we might get somewhere. But that's a huge hill to climb, and it's debatable what if any technology specific content should be included.
It's often less...adversarial.

I work somewhere in the middle of biology/neuroscience and ML. Interviews for essentially the same job (e.g., building brain-inspired robots) are hilariously different depending on how the org views itself.

In a "science" organization, the interviews mostly involved talking about what I've done in the past and how I'd approach new issues (technical and behavioral). There were certainly a few probing questions about things that seemed designed to check up on claims, but my experience seemed mostly taken at face value. A coding test, for example, was skipped because an interviewer had already seen some of my code and thought it was fine.

"Tech" interviewers seemed to want everything "proved" on-site during an all-day slog. I reversed strings and traversed graphs on a whiteboard. Someone quizzed me on facts and figures about the human eye (which they were reading out of the same book I learned them from). To me, this seems to test immediate recall and stamina/stress tolerance more than anything actually related to my R&D skills.
That's a great point (also cool article bro), but as a participant in "bro culture" (power lifting, BJJ, kick boxing, etc etc you name it; hell I used to be a goddamned auto mechanic, and the larval me had to chop wood to heat the house) -this lady didn't do her field research. She's regurgitating stale stereotypes about working class masculinity from the vantage point of a privileged self-regarding nitwit from Portland.

At her present state of enlightenment she's about as capable of writing about violence or even bro culture in any useful way as I am about giving birth or the emotions experienced on a daily basis by resentful intersectional feminists.

Fried chicken delivers great if you leave the box open so it can vent. I tell the bar by my house this every order. The paper boxes that are standard for fried chicken are terrible for it. They work for fast food chains because it goes under the hot light to steam out for 5 minutes before going in the box. Fryer to box immediately makes a literal sauna.

Heh, they are indeed pure text files, but then again so is XML :D

My Jekyll posts are mostly Markdown with some YAML frontmatter, but some have a few "include" statements here and there that use Liquid. The frontmatter stuff is easy enough to transform with some `sed` commands or whatever.

The bigger problem is the surrounding stuff that relies more on Liquid, like email signup forms, the list of posts, the list of tags, etc. All the little things that would need a small bit of work to reformat to work with another tool, it all adds up. And there were some oddities with how the two parsers handled newlines around Liquid, so sometimes Eleventy's output would be jumbled together when Jekyll's looks fine.
I mean, that's exactly the same criticism he gets from the far left. Words like "neolib" and "centrist" and "corporatist" are common slurs in that millieu, many of them directed at Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, et alia.
Wrapper functions. If you want to extend or modify the functionality of already existing tools, but without altering them too much, so it wouldn't be worth to be a new tool on its own.
Job board industry veteran here. Job boards are pretty easy to get started. You can write a nice job board in a weekend so a lot of boards start when a developer doesn't like the job search experience. This seems to be an example of that. That said, getting traction and making money can be hard because it is very competitive with Indeed, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Google gobbling up traffic.

That said, there are lots of good sources for backfill (job posts) and there are still lots of really great ways to monetize users and applicants via direct sales to employers and pay per click or pay per application programmatic networks.
What about the standalone flash version, "projector"?
My point is that amazon makes it difficult to see who exactly youre buying from and to know that you're getting it from that seller under many circumstances.

Also, there is the first sale doctrine, so they most likely do not need to be "authorized" to sell by Rolex unless you can only purchase a rolex by signing away the roght of first sale. (I'm not sure that's possible to do and am sure it's come up with Tesla, but haven't looked for any relevant cases.) (Whether or not you trust that seller enough to give them that kind of money is a separate issue; I do not.)

This isn't about these companies reselling food, its about them acting as an agent of the restaurant when they are not. They're also not selling me a "cheese pizza" for delivery and giving me one from a local place, they're selling me "company X's cheese pizza" for delivery, when Company X may not want their pizza delivered and has no knowledge of their listing by this company acting as their agent.
This is flamebait.
That’s a good slogan but there needs to be delineation of who is and isn’t involved. It turns out to be the central question. If I buy a book from Amazon and want to sell it on eBay, who needs to opt in? I certainly shouldn’t need your permission as you’re not involved. Is the paper manufacturer involved in me selling the book on eBay? Is the author? The publisher? Amazon? Me taking something I buy on Amazon and selling it on eBay has a pretty direct analogy here (sell what I buy from local pizza co to my app users). Asking for opt in is just a different way to phrase it, unfortunately.

That said, I’m glad for this law. Maybe it’s not perfectly worded but it’s a net good. What the delivery companies were doing was such blatant exploitation of everyone involved and I’m glad to see it go.
Asking someone who Silicon Valleys geo-recruiting model worked for what they will want to do in the future yields the expected response. That was unsurprising.

To everyone else who has to contend with tight pools of talent that are often fielding multiple offers and using them against each other, the desire for change is much stronger. Many more companies fit this bill.

There are some challenges though:

Remote workers have historically not worked on premier projects and products at hybrid companies. Effort will have to be made to ensure that remote workers are included in the kind of reports that indicate work distribution.

Remote workers get payed less. I can't prescriptively say how much less, but many companies in tech participate in geo-based compensation models while not being geographically locked in sales. I've long told people I would understand if I'm a welder and my product is only sold in one state why you may lazily geo-lock my pay. That stops making sense when my part is sold nationally or internationally. Then I really want my income to reflect what my position contributes to the business. This is why I think RSUs are so great. The compensation model for remote cannot just be padding margins for a business, especially if I'm going from SV to Texas for instance.

I'm looking forward to a more remote future, but without these problems sorted out remote work will only create an underclass of developers.
I haven't found much of a correlation between company culture and the quality of products they ship.
Yeah, I expect my browser to go backwards when I click back to another site, not be directed to another page on that domain. Also Pinterest hijacks the share function finch of Chrome on Android and will share a link to a main page of sorts.
I'm definitely under the impression that exclusivity agreements exist in this industry today. But the fact that some delivery apps list restaurants that haven't signed up with them reduces the power of the exclusivity (since some delivery traffic is coming from these other, "unofficial" apps).
> CERN is anchored to the EU. ITER is anchored to the EU.

Anchored, yeah sure. So you're listing something that isn't in the EU, which is revealing. ITER is entirely irrelevant. It's a pork project that won't result in much. The biggest breakthroughs in fusion will derive from smaller projects, not giant slow-moving projects like ITER. The next 20-30 years of energy generation is wind, natural gas, oil, solar, some hydrogen and nuclear (and primarily only China is brave enough to build that). Fusion will make zero contribution in that time.

> BioNtech made the first breakthrough on a COVID vaccine.

Moderna was just as well positioned as BioNtech, you're more than reaching. Russia and China also have apparently successful vaccines being deployed.

> The EU has many issues, but losing leadership in the sectors you mentioned is not one of them.

That's true in the sense that the EU never had leadership in most fields to begin with.
sorry but at some point it's on the customer. if they are so price-insensitive that they are willing to pay $50 for $30 of food, they are too lazy to cross-reference the price, or shop around, or just go pick it up themselves, then I have no issue with the delivery service milking them for whatever the customer is willing to spend.
This is a fact. A false positive is much more costly to a company than a false negative (this is also why we allow candidates to reapply).

My problem with the whiteboards and hackerrank tests is that it is an entirely different ability.

Writing algos from memory on a whiteboard is not what I do in my job. It isn’t a subset of what I do in my job. It isn’t something I have ever done in a job at all. You may as well be giving me a first year chemistry final.

So it is just something I drill, forget, and then re-drill when I want a new job.

I am fine with take homes though.

> Preventing side-loading improves iOS device security

Yes, this is true. Welding the doors to your house shut also improve security. But it does so at the expense of usability. There is a reasonable trade off between usability and security and Apple makes an unreasonable choice.
Lately, I just call the restaurant and do a pickup order. I get the food a lot faster and I don’t end up paying $40 for a $16 pizza. There are some times when delivery is great, maybe I’m sick or have had a couple beers, or don’t have my car; but those times are few and far between (for me). DoorDash and friends have convinced folks that delivery food is great. I think it kind of sucks.

You can have code challenges that aren’t HackerRank or Leetcode.

I know a few people who own top quality restaurants. They spent a shit ton of time figuring out delivery. One in chicago does it for reheat with nice instructions on everything. Like a blue apron style setup. A bbq place just won't sell certain items ever togo. Heck maggianos obviously spent time in their take home setup.
