...wait why are you leaving the u.s. out of any of your examples?
Proprietary Unix systems usually required equally proprietary hardware, which, twenty years ago, was quite a bit more expensive, and also quite a bit slower, than x86.

Also, those proprietary systems usually sucked from the usability point of view, due to being business-oriented.
That's an artifact of people no longer reporting theft for inefficacy.

Why should one go through the trouble of filing police reports if they aren't/can't do anything about it?

I understand they're already involved - you can't just add an electronic kill switch after market, it has to be built into device, or else it would be too trivial to bypass.
These came to mind right away and work for both macOS and Windows:

- Upload to a cloud storage service of your choice and download on the other end—Google Drive is very fast

- Use iCloud Photos (there’s client software for Windows too)

- Plug a cable in and drag and drop like it’s any other digital camera

- Create a Windows SMB network share (or Samba on other platforms), connect to it from Files, and use the share menu from Photos to put it in the network share
I should clarify I lifted the 99% stat from the linked wiki.
I agree it seems high.

I’ll estimate zero to 10% wildly incompetent. Many of the folks who aren’t able to program find other ways to be useful: Testing, requirements, prod support, sys admin, config. It’s not even clear they couldn’t program, but maybe came to prefer the other work at some point.

What’s your wildly incompetent estimate?
Games push an OS's limits. So a compatibility layer like Wine is more like trying to implement a browser that implements all of Chrome's API without forking it.
I hate it, but that's definitely plausible. From that angle really anyone should be very hesitant - which is beyond depressing considering how much good vaccines do.
I know how to file documents in filing cabinets. I don't know how the bearing mechanism for sliding out the drawers work, or how to replace the user-serviceable locks – but I know that there's a mechanism, and that the locks are user-serviceable, and I could look up the relevant information if I ever needed to do anything with that.

You don't need much knowledge of your version-control system in your head to be an effective programmer.
Do you have a blog where you write about the stuff you learning or your notes ?:)
You're right. Doesn't change the point. It's not worth the harm that was done by the law.
I don’t see what information people can glean from those trick questions.

Any time I’ve interviewed people I’ve made it a point to emphasize that none of my questions are trick questions and if anything is unclear, they should ask clarifying questions. The result? Interviewees are more comfortable and are far more honest about what they know, what they don’t know, and you get to see a glimpse of what they’re really like.
> US card transaction processing fees are higher than in most peer nations. … It's how Visa ($540 billion market cap) can be worth more than the world's most valuable banks

I’m sorry you are just wrong. Classic HN Dunning–Kruger.

Visa and MasterCard make their money two ways — network and cross-border transaction fees. For ordinary (non-cross-border) transactions, V/MC have a very small take, on the order of .1-.2%. The vast majority of the fees go to interchange collected by the issuing bank and then to transaction fees to the merchant acquirer (eg Square). Interchange is paid back out to customers in the form of rewards at very low (or zero) margin; issuing banks make their money when customers revolve on their lines of credit.

if you've got one of these frothy valuations and can find another company that will take an all-stock deal you're basically buying a company that hopefully has some real assets underneath all the foam, but if not you're paying with waht is essentially self-minted fiat currency. In the meantime you better believe the insiders are quietly converting to something more concrete.
Really boring is how I want my phone to behave: secure and boring. The fact they have a watch that works seamlessly also helps.

Just because crime isn’t increasing doesn’t mean it’s not a problem. We have no benchmark to compare 2019, 2020 and 2021 against and it may be dipping but 2020 likely saw a spike in crime so going down from there isn’t saying much.
The good thing about interviewing with your teammates is they will be invested in making it success if they recommended you. If you never see the interviewer again then they have no skin in the game.

Some of the comments here are eye opening how effective the government propaganda has been on this issue. Rand Paul is not the person in here that is being "intentionally distracting". The science^1 has turned into a pathos that can literally do a 180 in a week because of "new evidence" and people will blindly accept it, even encourage this because "they are willing to change their opinion based on new evidence". Doomsday cults had better excuses for why their apocalypse failed than these "experts".

In 1948 Britain armed the Arab armies(or just left the equipment). Israel had to procure some crappy weapons undercover all around the world, but even that was not enough. Their airplanes didn't even have enough bombs, dropping bottles(or was it sacks) to scare away 10 countries strong army.
How does Google interview for product development skill? That’s seriously lacking in that organization, definitely the worst of the FANGs.

The arrogance displayed in your comment isn’t backed up by the ultra-low quality of product being produced by Google. Something is clearly wrong with the culture and hiring process there. Maybe instead of fretting over people using strlen as an exit condition, you should look for people who can actually produce software people enjoy using. You don’t even need to do a coding interview! Just browse GitHub for people you want to hire and get to work convincing them to join you.

> e.g. it took forever to get any kind of async support even when both the things above and the things below JDBC were doing great at it

is there even support for async jdbc? I tought they dropped the idea ? (https://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdbc-spec-discuss/20...). The reasoning is stupid because async drivers is not only about threading and more about i/o, but w/e.
When they say sharing data with Google, Facebook, and LinkedIn, is this intentional sharing for their profit or is this a side effect of using things like the Facebook SDK to support Log in with Facebook?

If they're using these third party services they should absolutely have that listed in their privacy policy, but even if the end result is the same, the intention is completely different between the two.
In my opinion, if you're hiring for an expert in a specific language, you're not hiring a software engineer, you're hiring X language developer or X language software engineer. The language needs to be explicit in the position listing and perhaps even job title. That's fine if that's what you want but be specific about it so you don't waste people's time looking for a language specialist when most people anymore are generalists that have all sorts of knowledge distributions for any given set of technologies but can most likely adapt and learn to fit your distribution of technology given just a bit of time and opportunity.

Modern development requires juggling too many technologies for most people to specialize in a single language unless their career goal is to niche themselves to that language.
My understanding is that storage is not tightly coupled to a specific power source. Pumped hydro, or any kind of storage, is just another knob that the electrical grid operators have at their disposal to make sure load matches generation.
Hard disagree. Comparing over the past year with my Linux box, windows laptop, and Chromebook macOS is clearly the worst performing.
There’s plenty of criticism for those regimes at baseline. The goal is to reduce the amount of surveillance. It is cheaper to convince the NSO group to raise its customer standards or to provide more direct oversight than to convince each regime to stop these activities. Obviously we should try both, but I suspect pressure on NSO will reduce more harm in the short run because they have more to lose.
Of all the ways (i.e., PES, compression, flywheel, etc.) to store energy, why flammable batteries?
The simple fact that you think so tells me that you aren't a programmer, and that you should stay far away from interviewing or managing programmers. About the only thing the two situations have in common is that both are based around a text-based medium; for the rest there is just no comparison between writing computer code, and writing text for humans. Have you ever noticed how very few people can actually write both good computer code, and good documentation for the users of that code? That's because they are completely different disciplines, requiring a completely different mindset.

Let's turn this around: if I were interviewed by someone who flagged down my code for missing a #include or lambda capture (both very easy mistakes to make), I'd know that the people I'm interviewing with are idiots with no understanding of the thing they claim to be testing me on. Would I want to work there? Nope.
2008..For custom transformation of search results from Solr
The UK petition to end online anonymity doesn't really speak for the education of those who signed. Especially not for the initiator, although the deed that brought her to this misstep is certainly horrendous, the solution is not really feasible.

I think the only solution for those wanting to end anonymity is to found a platform where it isn't possible to be anonymous.

> You wouldn’t say that in the real world, why would you say that online?

This is a statement from someone that is enraged and wants to hold "someone" accountable. And I don't think it is too important on who that should be. It is a problem with the sender of that message.

> Hey, protect us from anonymous trolls.

Anyone on the planet can do this. Complete equality here.

> The desire for semi-anonymity shares one concern: control. A troll wants control over who knows what about him; a master-of-the-universe type wants to decide what gets stuck to the family name; a young person needs a space to figure things out; an older person needs a space to change.

That doesn't apply uniquely to trolls or "master-of-the-universe"-types. On the contrary, those that strive for control want to know about others. The endings of these NYT articles about anonymity need some revising. Its financiers don't like anonymity for very practical reasons.

While a troll wants to be anonymous, he needs to know how to get a rise out of people.
Go for it.

I was recently involved in recruiting a junior dev at my company, and I was baffled by how lackluster people's portfolios were. Many people didn't have one. Those that did, had one or two school projects, or had a bunch of empty 0-commit forks.

The number of people who just take state regulatory enforcement action as something that's good by default is much larger than the number of people who give unions the same benefit of the doubt so we'll probably see geofencing tied to professional licenses at the state level before we see it on the facility/jobsite level and tied to unions.

Large equipment in industries that can afford it is already activated by employee badge for QC and employee tracking purposes so what you're describing already exists in some settings.
No.

We are unique in that we have the ability to develop morality. We will not throw that gift aside just because the rest of nature can not.

We can and we should judge our actions by our morality. And nature itself is not exempt from judgement by that morality. It is entirely valid to ask ourselves if nature itself is morally wrong.

It is not a stretch to make an argument that it is, in fact, not. Nature is built around massive, unending cruelty. Just because it has existed for a long time, or because we can out of that chaos, is no reason to accept it as a given.
I do firmly believe US government, Apple and Google have the patriotic duty to stop NSO and close these zero-click, zero-day vulnerabilities. Are they seriously allowing foreign governments and other unscrupulous parties to infiltrate and spy whomever they wish, just because it is also convenient for them?
I value my actual life and dignity far and above what I value as an upper middle class income.

I am at least 90% sure that part of these interviews is to filter out people who these sorts of views. These employer would much rather have someone who wants to work 100 hour weeks and be the 'hero' over someone who works exactly 8-4 monday-friday and then goes home.
There's a problem with these conversations about eating animals that is frequently hard to articulate. I think it's related to the famous quote:

“You cannot reason a person out of a position he did not reason himself into in the first place.”

- Jonathan Swift?

The argument against is detailed and seems logically consistent. Most people who are in favor of eating animals simply won't engage though. Those that do engage generally make a poor showing.

My theory is morality isn't logical so arguing morality is simply a lack of self awareness. People who share your morality follow the logic and possibly change behavior, but without a shared sense of morality the argument is just a collection of empty words on par with a solved sudoku puzzle.

Of course morality can and does change with time, just not via a logic based argument.

400+ ppm is unprecedented since 800 000 years, and the effects are recognizable now by year-by-year changes that consistently break out of historical limits for both temperature and CO2 concentrations:

https://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/

That effects of CO2 concentrations are different now than hundred million years ago is covered in this link that was provided (please see how solar forcing have increased over millions of years, lowering greenhouse gas thresholds): https://skepticalscience.com/co2-higher-in-past.htm

I see no reason to make false accusations and trying to bring the argument down to an emotional level. I suggest reading the links and debunking, and instead try to understand the scientific arguments first.

This post of yours reflect an arrogance that do not belong on HN (my response was to show you what you projected from yourself - this, since facts only enrage some people):

"May I suggest adopting a mental model where you care about accuracy more than outrage?"

Instead, may I suggest you provide real arguments, instead of unsubstantiated nay-saying, and avoid resorting to pure rhetorical tactics? I say this because you provided nothing of value to the discussion. Instead even your own link supports current model precisions, contradicting your own claims:

"There is good agreement between model simulations incorporating high CO2 concentrations and proxy evidence, providing strong support for the role of CO2 in maintaining the high temperatures of the Early Eocene."

Sorry for bringing out more of the same, but that was the emotional part of the argument. But shouldn't really be necessary to show, regardless wether we agree or disagree about data and models.

I present what experts in the field are saying (the references are more accurate, yes). Please see other posts in this parent thread for more nuances. Would love for real contradictory arguments to be presented!

There is asymmetry involved, tho. They judge you as a single individual, while you have to judge an entire company from your experience with one single interviewer. The company can be employing thousands or even tens of thousands of engineers. Also, you don’t get to ask so many questions. The time allotted to your questions is but a small portion of the interview.
It can get very demoralising as an interviewer when you interview dozens of candidates, and none meet the bar - and even the ones you rate hire or leaning hire get rejected by the hiring committee. When I first started interviewing (at Google) I was like the Apple interviewers you admire, but I have slowly become inured the process and now I probably give candidates the impression that I've seen it all before and I would rather be doing something else - because it's true.

But the alternative is more filtering before the main round of interviews, to increase the base success rate of candidates, which many people hate (see many other comment threads on this post). And too much would turn off the best candidates probably more than the worse candidates, as they have more outside options.
As far as I can tell Fauci has never provided any evidence for this claim. At this point you're simply picking the lie you want to hear.

This is sadly not true, since buisness apps use a much wider variety of windows APIs while games are mostly using a few (DirectX, OpenGL, Vulcan) APIs for most of what they do. You can see this with custom game launchers like League of Legends uses. The Game runs with basically native performance and without issues but the launcher is barely usable.

Quite a few, but I don't know that they're gonna help if I scan the small steak but put the giant one in my bag. Again, the scanning isn't happening at the self-checkout. They just get used for payment.

I can also void out an expensive item mid-shop. Unless someone's getting a real-time ping with my exact current location in the store in the security office when I do that, no one's gonna be checking.
