Agree with this. In my experience interviewers don't mind if you would normally look something up, but you need to state "hmm I always forget which direction Array.sort sorts based on your return value" and they'll usually say something like "yeah me too, let's try it this way and flip it if needed." If you say nothing and freeze or implement it incorrectly without making it clear that you half expected it, the same situation feels much worse.

In general, I've been seeing some conflation between the "tech interviews are broken" sentiment and the "tech interviews are too hard" sentiment. There's probably some truth to both, and some specific things that both interviewers and candidates can do differently to make more interviews more productive. In all cases, being calm and congenial and trying to put the other person at ease (even if you're the candidate) can work wonders.

I would point out that "the UX community" is no more a monolith than "the developer community" -- many UX designers do not spend their time chasing the latest UI fads and adding novelty for its own sake.
Quaternion is great for dealing with 3D rotation. Another great approach is using the rotor in geometric algebra. It's pretty simple and it works on rotation in dimensions higher than 3D as well.
Neither can it simulate the important parts of doing the work.

I disagree with this. With some effort, you can create a small sandbox app that recreates an exact bug or existing implementation that needs a a feature added to it straight from your day to day work.

You can even translate your obscure problem domain into the appropriate analogy.
We can agree that those more concerned with tone than with rational public health policy are more likely to agree with you. You've certainly been polite. Fair enough.
BARRACUDA – Senior/Principal Software Engineer - OPEN TO REMOTE US

Looking to make a meaningful impact with your work? At Barracuda, we build products that protect our customers from a growing number of threats to their business.

Do you have experience building distributed systems at scale in the cloud? Do you have a hunger for solving the challenges of such a system? Come join our team building a data ingestion pipeline and search service for security products providing real-time threat detection and remediation atop petabytes of data flowing through the system in near real-time.

This team operates with a lot of autonomy and uses modern technologies and CI/CD pipelines. We have mature monitoring and observability mechanisms in place which help make decisions for performance/reliability improvements via 'science'.

We're a remote team with a strong engineering culture, working collaboratively with frontend, devops, and other product teams within Barracuda. (Team is mostly remote - but if you live nearby a Barracuda office location, you're free to work in-office as well anytime if you prefer a hybrid approach).

https://jobs.jobvite.com/barracuda-networks-inc/job/owOcffwv

I'm the hiring manager, and would love to tell you more about the role, reach out here or at awood@barracuda.com or in the Clojurians Slack community (anwood). We're a friendly bunch!

Use the link above even if you think you’re ‘senior’ and not principal-level (yet) :)

The standard we're comparing this to is the past 30 years of Internet Freedom where these invasive nags were nowhere to be found. Nobody was excited about the MPAA in 1995. But we were all excited about the Internet. Now "The Web" has become the MPAA et al. Lame.

The real answer is the behemoths are going to become irrelevant, being inescapably bound to government control and surveillance capitalism. The more hoops and restrictions they add, the more tech people will move to decentralized solutions that don't suffer such bullshit, and eventually the normies will follow. It's just a tragic end to the past few decades of revolutionary energy, pointlessly wasted on centralized dead ends. And in the short term, it's fucking frustrating when trying to get anything done.

As others have mentioned, this is more a sign of bad interviewers than a bad format. Of the companies I've worked at, at least one has allowed googling during the interview, and most de-emphasize all the stuff you have to look up in order to focus on the problem-break-down part of the question.

I think there's too much imitation without understanding in interviewing. Candidates hear questions, and then go on to repeat them when it's their turn to be interviewers, without really understanding what's behind the question. These new interviewers then approach the interview as if they were administering a coding test, whereas what they ought to be doing is facilitating a conversation using the question as a starting prompt.

The other problem that I see sometimes with interviewing is interviewers asking obscure questions. Really good candidates aren't solving the problem on the spot - they've come across problems like the one the interviewer asks, and are using approaches they've already validated in their life experience. When an interviewer asks an obscure question, they are not helping to facilitate a conversation as to whether the candidate can handle the typical things that would come his or her way.
Afghanistan got invaded after asking for evidence that 9/11 was caused by bin Laden before handing him over.

The US decided that evidence was not required (& didn't really have any anyway at that point) and invaded.

These are not the actions of a defensive pact acting defensively. They're the act of a country with bloodlust.
Java and C# also offered similar capabilities when D appeared.

Granted on Java side it required sun.misc.Unsafe, JNI or Real-Time JSR, while on C# side, a mix of structs, SafeHandle, MarshalInterop, unsafe and eventually C++/CLI.

So while not as pleasant as D, the cost to drop those eco-systems wasn't worth the cost to switch, and now 10 years later those eco-systems have doubled down on improving the experience for low level coding.

This makes it quite hard to sell D to those potential users.
I believe that even though slerp isn't a property of quaterions and can be retrieve without them, having your orientation represented as a vector is a clean way for the developer to hold the state of an orientation and interpolate it. What's happening under the hood shouldn't matter much, the abstraction in the code using quaterions makes it easier for the developer to interpolate orientations without the worry of gibal locking.
My comment is not trying to characterize any UFO in particular.

I'm just stating that the whole concept of UFO is exciting, regarding of interpretation.

I'm open minded about any theory, in any case, it's a lot of fun.

Here are also some of the things my users have created: http://gofoldit.com/gallery

It turns out that print design is quite behind technologically in a few areas, and providing clients with an interactive demo of what a folded brochure was gonna look like is one of them. I was told that the current state-of-the-art in this area was to print out a Black-and-White version of the PDF, to fold it, and then record a video of it being unfolded and emailing it to the client.
I think the article itself is what downplays and trivializes poor mental health. "Well, you know" is just the new version of "fine" - a way to brush the very real things the author mentioned under the rug and not speak about them. The societal response to depression, addiction, anxiety, loneliness, and despair should not be to stay at home and never talk about it.

I don't know how someone could write an article about the near-pandemic rise of mental illness over the last year but still come to the conclusion that, actually, this is better.
I'd love a different solution, but this is about the best I've got. I can certainly see that there are some false negatives, but to me, I'd rather take that risk than take the risk of hiring someone that's a true negative. Having worked with some in the past, I really don't want to touch code written by a dev that can't code.
Ask HN: Who's Mentoring? (June 2021)
In the wake of the discussion about mentoring yesterday, [1] I wanted to try this again (others have tried over the years).

I'd love to give back to this community, and see if others are interested in doing so as well. Similar to the Who's Hiring thread, we could use a syntax. Since many people can mentor in one area but might want mentoring in other areas, we can post an offer and request together.

Everyone in the team sharing the 24/7 works well for small teams. Nothing sucks more than knowing you are on call an entire night and having to remember not to do anything that may cause you to forget you're on call, become unreachabld (leaving your phone on silent or in another room for hours etc)
> I can appreciate that one can not help equally in both cases.

You can help them equally that is my point. One requires you to ruin your clothes by jumping in water the other requires you spending a bit of effort locating a legit charity and sending a check. Make no mistake, your capability to donate to Africa vs. jumping into water is EXACTLY the same. That is my point.

The urgency is different, but that's an illusion. The effort and cost to save either child is exactly the same. Say your clothes is worth $20,000 and you only need to donate $5000 to save a child in Africa. Then even saving the child in Africa costs less.

This is the moral conflict. Logically you interpret the lives of both children as equal but behaviorally most people will likely only act to save the drowning baby. Even from a judgement perspective, without deep introspection people will be outraged at the person who watched the baby die and not be outraged at the millions of people who haven't donated a dime to Africa.

The judgement and behavior differs from the logic which says both lives are equal. That is the biological flaw. It basically shows that because our morality is flawed, it is then basically an arbitrary set of biological rules, not worth the time for deep analysis. This is entirely different from the fundamental laws of physics which is very much worth our time for deep analysis.
From the article:

Scientists can’t accurately gauge distances or velocity from a pilot’s
testimony [...]
What a scientist needs are precise measurements from multiple viewpoints
provided by devices that register various wavelengths (visual, infrared,
radar).

I thought, this is exactly what the 2004 Nimitz case provided?

Plus the testimony of "Top Gun" pilots, who are under constant psychological
monitoring, whose eyes must be in 1A shape (friend/foe distinction within
the fraction of a second), who are well studied and trained in practical
avionics...

What I do not understand here:

* on the one hand you got data from the most advanced radar network of
its time, one, that has been created specifically for this task: detect
flying objects of unknown origin.

* on the other hand you got T.O.P. pilots, Aces, witnessing the same

and the answer of this scientist is:

* there is no data from different point of view

* witnesses are unreliable

And each time, somebody tries to come up with an example on what it could
have been, the probability of the example holds only, unless you disregard
the rest of the information.

CapitalRX | NYC, NY | FULLY REMOTE | FULL-STACK | www.cap-rx.com

We are a PBM (in many ways, a drug insurance company) that wants to make drugs cheaper in America. We leverage a pass-through model to dramatically lower medical costs for our members. We save people hundreds to thousands of dollars a year on their vital medications.

We are a socially-driven company and are going to be registering as a B-corporation this year to make our social mission part of our corporate responsibility.

We are looking for Full-Stack developers at all experience levels, and are currently focusing on mid-level and higher developers.

As a Full-Stack engineer, you would have a wide range of responsibilities that encompass API development, light infrastructure planning, and front-end component work. We also consider automation testing to be a crucial part of what we do, and TDD is highly encouraged.

You should be strong in at least two of the following front-end technologies: React, Typescript, Redux.

You should be strong in one major backend technology, preferably Python, although other languages are fine if you have a strong background building REST APIs.

We are completely cloud-based, and use AWS exclusively for all of our cloud solutions. If you are familiar with Terraform, Docker, or Kubernetes, that's a huge plus.

We are an Agile environment, and you would be working in a small, independent, cross-functional team. If you are used to the words "Scrum", "Points" and "Tickets", you will fit in well with our working process.

Finally, as a remote team, we really work on trying to build an fun, inclusive, and contempt-free culture. We have a great group of people that work here. We go further than other companies to engage personally with people and form bonds, because we understand how valuable it is to get along with your team and to feel like you belong there. After all, we all want to enjoy where we work.

They never publicly said either way because that would have been a diplomatic nightmare. But it's clear the game only makes sense if red team was Iran.

Iraq's military was set up completely different than what red team did, as Iraq tried to have a traditional, symmetric military. This is because, as a minority controlled nation, they were attracted to the added legitimacy it gave their regime to not have a focus on assymetric warfare. Tanks in columns make the state look stronger to the populace, even if you get trounced in an actual battle.
The QR code tech is good, but its not from Quebec afaik

>vaccine appointment website as well as their proof-of-vaccination has been really well done.

The appointment website is bad:

- No date search (have to click multiple locations just to see they're full)

- Multiple popups everytime you click on a location (are you over 18? Etc. Which could have been saved in cookie)

- They don't reserve the time you selected while filling the (long) PII form just before confirming. This can cause someone to snap it from under you. Either ask PII before clicking the time or reserve it would fix this
Car makers either owning their own charging infrastructure (Tesla) or making deals with existing ones (VW Group) is the way forward.

"Buy a car and get free charging for a year!" or credit for a specific network of chargers offers already exist in Europe.

It's a win-win situation, the charging network gets ingrained in the users minds as "the place to go" and the car manufacturers get an extra sales boost for minimal cost.
Where do you get the $200 million figure?

Bear in mind that it is only the Starship (upper stage), not the Super Heavy booster, that would be landing at the destination and hence potentially subject to abandonment. Also note that Starship, unlike Falcon 9 (or at least to a much greater extent), is designed to be produced efficiently in quantity.

Not hippie but also not outlandish. During the initial outbreak in China you would nog be allowed into town if you didn’t live there also if you were registered in another city you were supposed to be ‘there’. Sometimes towns and cities dug up roads so people could not try to sneak in. So from that POV it’s not hippie but it’s also not extraordinary.

No, the viewpoint I present is the psychopathic viewpoint. An impassioned analysis disregarding responsibility completely as a non-issue. Not even trying to pass it off. Responsibility is not the domain of logic and science and this is the domain which I present my viewpoint from.
I don't know, I have a free year of it. It plays in the app without asking, but not on the website.
I feel like this mindset is actually responsible for a lot of modern-day unhappiness. Why are 1st world countries
somehow more lonely?

Something I've noticed while talking to my older relatives outside of the US is that their social life often are the people that they meet in their (first) job in the location they ended up staying in. It feels straightforward that
the people that you spend 8+ hours a day with are going
to be the people that you feel like you know and can trust.

It seems like some odd modern/corporate idea that work is just for work. Imagine if we had the same mindset for school, and tried to make things "productive" by eliminating all breaks and the assumption that students should get to know each other during class/free time.

I think we need to accept the idea that work is really going to be much of your social life when you move, work friends are not your best buds, and only later on can you have a social life that doesn't deeply involve people at work.

Your reply is written as if a system that is trustworthy is being accused of being untrustworthy.

Instead, a system that we know runs poorly in 10 ways is claimed to be run poorly in 11 ways.

That is a dramatic difference and this would be a valid argument in a court of law - if the system was never run properly, why do you expect it runs properly when it comes to this particular matter? Why would anyone put their faith in it?

My house has 100amps service and I was able to install a 14-50 outlet (240V/50amps) which allows me to charge at sustained 32amps. It all depends on what other load do you need to handle, for me the only other significant load was the A/C, everything else is gas powered. Don't even have to go that high, even a 240V/30amps outlet (24 amps sustained) will still charge a car in a reasonable amount of time. Keep in mind that you will rarely need to charge from 0 to 100%, most of the time will be a fraction of that. For me it's usually 70% to 90%, but, of course, YMMV.

A lot of people have mentioned a lot of reasons, marketing, corporate support, etc...

I think a language technology needs at least one, but ideally a few, flag ship projects using it. It provides some examples for people to see, it shows the "why" and then it also connotes that it's living and good. I don't think it has to be big, just good. Ripgrep is a prime example, there are a few other smaller tools in Rust that are nice, well put together tools that do a nicer or better job than the old standards.

You can talk about why something is nice or better, but actually showing people that it is probably convinces more.
