Their argument is tracing persons vs tracing content.

If law enforcement comes with a warrant against a specific person of interest, then WhatsApp presumably has ways and means to pull all metadata associated with that person's account (which presumably includes all contacts, metadata about all messages sent/received - timestamp & other-party contact details, along with app metrics – IP addresses, mobile device/network information etc).

It would be same as a telephone network except for the actual content itself.

If they also have a way to eavesdrop on content by breaking end to end encryption (and users don't care when WhatsApp on their device says the other parties signature changed), there's that possibility that they could be under gag order to not acknowledge that.
I'm wrong, but the difference is about 2 pixels on Linux.
Pretty awesome! I felt like it was missing an affordance to move a stack of cards at once, though. Perhaps it's a hidden key combination?

ThirtySixteen | Backend Developers and Data Engineers | Full-time | Dallas, TX or Remote (USA)

We are building software so used car dealerships can streamline the process of qualifying applicants for an auto loan and sell a car with minimal touch points. There is a lot of opportunity for growth at our startup as well as in the industry as the current way to buy a used car online is still in the Stone Age.

We are looking for junior and senior level Rails developers as well as a data engineer to help us process auto loan applicant and banking data to present a new way of determining loan qualification status to dealerships who offer in-house financing options.

I’ve had places not allow personal equipment to be brought in so it wouldn’t be their fault if it was stolen.

They would buy ergonomic things that could be justified though.

I don’t miss that.
As a job searcher, I want to be able to spend as little time as possible on the interview process for one company. I don't mind researching the company or talking about their specific process, but I want to minimize the amount of time I have to take to prove my competence to them, because that's something that should transfer well between the different roles I'm pursuing.

I understand that not everyone has an OSS portfolio, but it's better than having 5 different companies give me a unique take-home project, and then having another 3 companies give me an algorithms assessment. If everything was "let's take a look at one repo you've spent <10 hours on" or "let's do leetcode problems" that would be preferable to the current state of affairs, because as it stands I have the worst of both worlds.
After I move the mouse over the back "button" at first nothing happens, it's surely nothing happening "as soon as the pointer" enters the area.

Then after some delay, the "area" of the button is shown, but not inclunding the newly "empty" space, which you claim is clickable.

But what is highlighted starts to the right. If my mouse is already close to the edge, it visually signals that it's not over the button, that is, that I moved the mouse too far.

It's very awful experience: not having the limits of the button drawn (which doesn't give me any hint of the area I can target), then not showing the limits fast enough once the pointer is there, then misleading about the limits (forcing me to move the mouse to the right even if I was already on the right place), drawing with the thinner line the arrow (also making it less obvious where it is): four wrongs in just one enforced update which is claimed to "improve" UI. On the most used button.
GQless: A GraphQL client built for rapid iteration
This is a really good point.

To add to it, WFH has one clear massive weakness: the lack of face to face interaction leads to quite a bit of atrophy when it comes to team cohesion. I've been managing WFH teams for the better part of a decade and I've yet to find a satisfactory solution other than getting people together every couple of months to work on hard problems together and build some trust.

I'm really bullish on the hybrid model right now. I think having an office designed more like a co-working space that can serve as a central meeting place for teams is what the future of software development looks like. No expectation that everyone is in the office every day, but rather reimagine the office more as a place where people come together when they really need (or want) too.

We're experimenting with that now in my organization and the results so far are pretty good. Some people come in every day. Some people come in every now and then. Others come in when their teams needs them. We're continuing to use all of the best practices for remote work and I think people are finding a really good balance right now.
Yeah, I think it's TCS_BUTTONS. Looks like this: http://www.kumei.ne.jp/c_lang/img/sdk20601.gif
I would say most people with a lot of comments are using pods already. If you've used pods, you'll immediately know if most of the comments come from pods.

Also, I highly doubt any engagement on social media is genuine. Some people go through random profiles and mass like, comment, follow them hoping for reciprocity. There are bots that do that for your from your account. IG frowns upon that. But some bots have gotten sophisticated enough to randomize their likes/comments/etc to look more human. It's all a big game.
Your comment is absolute nonsense.

You can't say anything like that without context.

It would be a really bad business if their rent could only cover interest, taxes, insurance, and maintenance i.e. expected change in equity is 0. If it covers principal as well, then it's merely a risky business as expected change in equity is positive (since the mortgage amortizes), but downside (foreclosure) is huge and likely.

In either case, it might still be a good _investment_ if the value of their equity appreciates - but as the other commenter notes, that's a very risky and inefficient way to get exposure to real estate prices!
I mean this already existed prior to YouTube, it's just that before you couldn't access the 18+ trailer at all outside of an R rated movie theater or late night TV because it had to be made for prime time and print where content restrictions were enforced.

I don't see this as any different than a theater asking to see your ID before letting your buy an R rated movie ticket. I sympathize that it's annoying hell but you probably also don't want Google deciding for themselves what your age is.
Sympathy and respect are two different principals. I treat everyone with respect, but sympathizing with someone requires emotional bandwidth that I don't always have the ability to give. When people cry for help on the internet, I can't offer my assistance anymore. Most of these people would be better suited with introspection than talking to me anyways.
As good as it sounds, I wouldn’t feel comfortable installing a modded Win10 install from a piracy site…. Maybe it’s just me.

But it does matter. It takes two to tango and many a wise man have backed down from a winnable fight with a bloody nose. The US isn't forced to go to war with China over Taiwan. IMO it's more that those that want to retaliate are never anywhere near the war. If generals and politicians were in the first wave in an attack to retaliate against China invading Taiwan, retaliation would never happen.

On the other hand if a war breaks out and the US gets in the middle of it because of power projection (like in the South Chinese sea) then the other side didn't start it, they escalated. You don't see PRC warships, army bases, etc. as a mainstay everywhere around US borders and coastal waters. If we did the US would instantly escalate to WW3.
In the evenings and on weekends.
I agree. But the "battle" is at least partly around:

- People who are technically allowed to WFH but who are concerned that co-workers/managers will pressure them to come in anyway and

- People who want to come back into an office most days but don't want to come into a ghost town with most meetings over video anyway.
Well spotted, doubt I'm the only one who missed that.

ctrl-f for Maciej finds zero matches.
It isn't the stupidity of the US military that's the problem. It's the stupidity and greed of their "civilian" leadership (most of whom come from general or fleet officer ranks). Back in the 1958 Ike denied requests to use nukes on China over the Taiwan Strait, but still let the services each run their own failing space programs. Kennedy foolishly greenlit the Bay of Pigs fiasco, but did reorganize US space efforts under NASA, which was at least formally a civilian agency. The reason "Space Force" is a bad idea isn't just that it will probably be a monumental waste of money, but as you write, that it will almost certainly lead to a disaster of global proportions. Winding up where the Kessler Effect denies humans access to orbit for a century would be getting off lightly.
Because billionaires don't do that publicly? I don't care what Elon Musk does or how he acts. It doesn't affect me at all, but it's obvious that his behavior is unlike nearly any other high profile CEO.

As a thought experiment: find another CEO who has done an interview while high. It is extremely uncommon. Again, I have nothing against it personally, but there are norms that most CEOs follow and that Elon disregards.

Fully agreed. I didn't endure over a decade of an abusive household and even a few months of homelessness just so my employer could close down its offices and forcibly relocate them into my living room.

I was absolutely fucking livid. Can't a man just be left alone in his own home any more?

It seems that I am in the minority here.
I don't know what "all those things are possible" means aside from "all those things are possible as long as we zoom together while in the office". You can screen-share in the office - as long as you are both on zoom ( or equivalent ) at which point why is it better to be at the office?

It would be harder in the office - too many people talking over each other in separate meetings. I can't imagine. So we all end up fighting for few conference rooms, or we squeeze once again into each others cubicles, losing the advantage of multiple screens and trying not to talk to loud and disturbing everyone around us.

I've spend decades developing in offices with other engineers, collaboration is always difficult when what you are collaborating on is always tiny text on a small screen. Zoom is better.

Your "it could be aliens" argument applies exactly as well to fairies, angels, demons, demi-gods, wizards, Satan, time travelers, humans from other dimensions, etc. If you weight one of them more highly than the others, you should examine why. But the answer won't be in the evidence.
The author hasn't had the more dynamic interactive form of tech interview that I (as a platform dev) am used to.

> Coding is solving problems. A big part of that is looking stuff up. Like, seriously, the most important skill a developer can have it knowing how to research solutions to problems. Specifically…

Breaking problems into parts
Identifying what to search for
Knowing how to sort good info from junk

Rather than have them Google things, there's an open dialog with the interviewer where the candidate thinks out loud and the interviewer gives the 'search results' for them to use now, later, or not.

The interview is not about 'if' the candidate can solve the problem. Even it they don't the result can be positive. It's about how they think, break things down, compose the parts into a solution. No one should care if you memorized the syntax of anything.
> if they know it's false why do they ask for it, they already have the right one

Great question. It seems like it's being used as authentication, rather than authorization, in that it's meant to prove that you are who you say you are.
Attracting new people is basically never (with exception of the C stuff) been the driving force behind efforts influencing D's design.

Another anecdote - Someone who hires people in D has told me definitely that D being small means that hiring for them is usually just seeing some code, i.e. there hasn't been an eternal September let's say. They can onboard people who don't know the language, but knowing D is a very good cultural (programming is easy!) filter.

I see. I'd say it depends what the application is, then, because in graphics correctly handling (unlikely) extreme values would be quite secondary to performance, especially for an inner loop function like norm. See fastinvsqrt, e.g., which is extremely imprecise!
Google Meet has a transcription option. I would be profoundly surprised if this were not coupled with a keyword filter of some sort.
Your contacts weren't known to the WhatsApp server, now they are. There's no reason the next automatic update for signal can't contain code to send your keys to the server, and it wouldn't be the first centralized E2EE app to do that.
Nope. Facebook disclosed their numbers in the acquisition filings. E.g. from https://www.investopedia.com/articles/investing/032515/whats... –

> WhatsApp’s six-month revenue for the first half of 2014 totaled $15.9 million and the company incurred a staggering net loss of $232.5 million, though the majority of that loss was for share-based compensation.

WhatsApp was always running on VC cash.
Strateos(YC W15) | Front End and Back End Software Engineers, Product Managers | Menlo Park, CA | https://strateos.com | FULL TIME; REMOTE & ONSITE

Strateos is turning life science into an information technology by creating a fully automated cloud wet lab. Scientists anywhere can define and (reproducibly!) run experiments over the internet on-demand and without investing up-front in a lab facility.

The Strateos Common Lab Environment (SCLE) takes Autoprotocol (http://autoprotocol.org/), a high-level JSON description of a biological protocol, and executes it on our custom-built robotic workcells. The protocols we handle routinely involve solving constraint programming models with thousands of variables and constraints in order to find the best plan that fulfills the scientist's biological intent.

Scientists manage their experiments through our web application or via our API. We provide a single platform that controls scientific devices from many vendors in a unified way, and an interface to control our automated labs.

Tech stack includes: Linux, Scala, RabbitMQ, Rails, Typescript, React, Ansible, Postgres

Benefits include: full medical/dental/vision insurance; catered lunch and dinner, and a fully stocked kitchen when onsite; flexible vacation policy; 401(k) with matching; gym and commuter reimbursement; and education reimbursement up to $3,000/year.
IMHO it’s like with any government agency, department, or proclamation: the authority is in the acquiescence of the people. If someone sued and challenged in court, it would be interesting to see who would come out on top. Ultimately a lot of what government has pushed and forced and cajoled everyone through these past 6-12 months is mostly untested overreaches of power. The scary part for me is that once government pushes a boundary, it rarely returns to before. By not fighting back on the mandates and such, the government essentially pushed until the citizenry gave up. Now that claimed land, if you will, is the new normal for government power.
Yes, we use these in ocean bottom and subsurface buoys. However only for audio and seismic activity do we need this kind of accuracy.
The cost is high, they don't always work perfect, and they consume a fair amount of power for long deployments. Overall we try to avoid them if possible.
Thanks for explanation, I knew I'm missing context here.

The distinction is made quite clearly, one is safety, the other is security :)

(while the terms are intermixed in general discourse, both the embedded and security worlds consistently separate the two, at least in everything I've seen)
Selection games
Looking up things isn't solving problems. Sometimes you need to look up things to solve problems but they are fundamentally unrelated. Coding interviews generally require 0 background (other than base CS principles) so you shouldn't need to look up anything. I've never had someone ask me for correct syntax in an interview setting.
I disagree. These small unnecessary tweaks can really disrupt regular users' workflows.

For example, they just changed "Undo close tab" to "Reopen closed tab". Not only is it difficult to justify how this is clearer (any casual computer user should be familiar with the concept of 'undo'), but for a regular user:

- There's a period where you have to adjust, scanning for the correct menu entry each time;

- This change also modified the hotkey from 'u' for 'undo' to 'o' for... re-open, apparently.

Imagine if your editor changed its key bindings, or renamed features with each minor update?

I love Firefox, am a daily user, but I get very annoyed at the lack of proper change control that's applied.

This kind of arbitrary change at the very least annoys users, but can also degrade usability and workflow.

Finally, by showing they don't review their minor changes very well, it makes it harder to trust that they won't accidentally introduce some major bug or security flaw.
You still have to look a certain way - even more so on camera.

Speaking from experience.
Did you read the article? Not everyone wants to go back to how things were before? Simple things like not having people stand on top of me in line. There was a year of no social pressure to do anything and it was nice. No need to feel like you needed to socialize because everyone else is. That's what this article was about.

Some people did some introspection and realized they were caught up in societies bull shit. They should be able to discuss that, instead we have internet tough guys talking about how they think we're babying mental illness or think people who are just expressing them selves are mentally weak and we need to just get back to work, that's how the world is. Except we just has a year and a half where that wasn't the case. In some ways the world was actually easier to deal with.
