I've done a lot of hiring (as a team manager). There are bureaucracies that want to do more interviews because that's their job, but I think most managers want the process to be as efficient as possible. The minimum for me is still

1. Phone screen - 15 min, basically logistics of the process and making sure the person knows what job they've applied for an is interested

2. Hiring manager talks to candidate, goes through CV and ambition + any burning technical questions / initial screening

3. Panel interview, with two hours do think about a problem and discussion with a panel of managers and peers (challenge here is to make it as low pressure as possible)

My justification is that 1. I want to make sure the person is interested before wasting time on them, 2. I want to talk to them, 3. I don't want to make a unilateral decision and want 3-5 others to interact with them. It's hard to do much less than that IMO if you are hiring for part of a team.

At my last job, we also did an up front coding test, which unfortunately I have to agree with in this specific case. For context, this was for a client facing technical role, so we wanted someone with client experience/ business skills who also had legit technical qualifications. For this kind of job, there are far too many people that are all talk think that a python tutorial they did is enough to put it in their resume (equally true for excel when I used to work in consulting). We need some quick way to make sure people have the right skillset.

For experienced hires in pure dev roles, I think coding interviews are less relevant, and quickly become pointless. I have a dev team working for me now that I hired based on their past experience and would have felt ridiculous asking them to do a coding test.

It's not about preventing. It's about reducing probabilities. The vaccines do not prevent kids from getting it. They do not prevent adults from getting it. They do not prevent people from spreading it. They do not prevent people from getting hospitalized or dying from it. They decrease the chances of all of the above happening.
Definitely worth trying.

I used a software support role to get a foot in the door of the tech industry without any college degree, then used that was a way to learn whatever I could/display that I know how to code to get into a SWE role. I think the biggest learning curve I faced was learning "enterprise" software development in terms of design patterns, testing, etc. but it's all learnable once you unearth some of the unknown unknowns.

I'd also avoid using wording like "dabbled" because I've found that people are off-put by that and it comes across as selling yourself short, especially without a formal CS background.
Where else does it happen? (sincere question)
Nobody waits for an hour though. With no contact I think I'd leave in about 20 minutes now.
role* lol we made the same mistake. There is some adoption to be sure. But look at Google Trends for clojure.
They're a lagging indicator, as are deaths. So, eventually.

If you stare at the government's site https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/ hospital admissions seem to have levelled off, and maybe deaths are levelling off but it's too early to be sure.

People get infected (and begin testing positive) first, then some of them get sick (a few more will seek a test and be positive) and then some of those seek hospital admission or call for advice and the advice for their symptoms is "get to hospital" and almost all of the people who eventually die get admitted to hospital first, in some cases dying after weeks of attempted care.

I think there's room for some pessimism without going so far as your parent poster, cases may be down but not as much as it seems. Lots of people seem to have gone off around the country on holiday which seems crazy to me, but clearly didn't make things much worse. People can choose not to seek a test while they're alive, but corpses have no say in what the post mortem data says.
Funny thing I noticed that the last batch of iMac's I purchased were made in Thailand.

This is my opinion and it's definitely not steadfast set in stone: while I think people who don't consume meat are potentially more morally virtuous than omnivores, I don't think it is a moral obligation not to consume meat.
I think there is much to be desired in terms of changes to mass farming practices, but the fundamentals of my beliefs are that we are not in the same moral and social contracts with animals as we are with other people. There are significantly different ramifications for squashing a bug, a dog, and a person (for example, but not as rationale).
Is a pig, cow, chicken, or ANY given sentient creature able to comprehend and abide by the rules of morality we enforce on each other? Does a bear think about the moral ramifications of mailing a hiker? If a creature can demonstrate this an a willingness to abide by our morality, it should be brought into the fold of our social contracts and be given rights on par with humans.
This doesn't mean it is morally justified to 'needlessly' kill or 'uncessesarily' reduce the well being of animals (what is needless or unnecessary are highly contextual and loose terms). Torturing of animals is a pretty clear example of something unnecessarily harmful and immoral without clear benefit.
Ideally, animals unable to abide by moral codes are still granted certain minimal rights and protections, but are not privy to the set of rights and protections we grant each other.
I haven't looked at this enough to have a strong opinion on dollar stores in general, but it strikes me that the 20% of grocery products they don't stock (ie. produce) are the things that most people consume too little of.
Not all parts of a system are going to age equally well.

You are going to want to try to avoid that problem, while making your tool still useful. Wireguard hits the sweet spot particularly well.
Yes, it is true that the difference between Win and Mac at high DPI is much less noticeable than at low DPI.

I'm a startup founder and product manager (PM/PMM). I have experience in both B2B and B2C, SaaS and Hardware, mostly in the 0-1 stage.

The company I founded is focused on sleep. We have around 30K customers. This is the second company I founded—the first was acquired by a larger player in the same industry.

I also work as a PMM at an adtech company for mobile apps. There, I have built a sales team and worked as a PM on an early-stage product. I am now serving as a PMM focused on growth marketing.

Finally, I have a YouTube channel about product management and tech entrepreneurship.

Where I am looking to grow my career: as a PM in high-growth SaaS/apps. That would likely involve honing the product-market fit until we have something that can scale.

Pavillon no-good. Elitebook better.

Booted one minimal Debian-derivative (without SystemD!1!!) from USB-keychain into RAM 124 days ago. Still running, no reboots, but no suspends/resume either. Though it's ancient. But all Intel-components, and working flawlessly with LTS-kernels.
This is something I've been personally trying to get better at. As someone who did a lot of instant messaging in the 90s (think ICQ and IRC) I would think nothing of shooting off texts to people whenever I felt like it via SMS. There was never an expectation of immediately being answered back then and I always thought of messaging as 'write it while you remember and don't expect a response until whenever'. If something was truly urgent I'd call.

Except that's not how other people would perceive it. I've since learned that it can be incredibly annoying to others, to the point where some people would actually get distressed thinking they would have to answer the texts. Couple that with a bad habit of sending many short texts (it's how you'd write on messaging in the old days) and you have one REALLY REALLY ANNOYING FRIEND (regrettably I was that annoying friend).

So I guess I just want to apologize profusely from the other side of the fence. I'm trying to be much more mindful these days about whether that chit-chat message REALLY needs to be sent RIGHT NOW, or can it just wait for a conversation at a later time?

I'm trying to be much more self-aware in this regard.
disabling notifications on apps goes a long way. and they all clearly hate it and bug you to turn em back on constantly
Vaccination is great but in addition to that we could also cut the ongoing death toll through public health campaigns to eliminate hypovitaminosis D. This could be done relatively cheaply.

If we're going by anecdotal evidence, I know many more people that get the flu every year than that got covid-19. But I don't think my (on average) responsible acquaintances with (on average) workable-from-home jobs tell the whole story.

You're right though that the numbers somewhat suggest that we're managing to beat the Delta variant. Is it due to vaccinations? The vaccination rate has been slowing for months now, yet the UK still had that spike. The difference in people that decided to get vaccinated between early June (start of positive cases spike) and July 21st (when the decrease set in) is 9%. (from 59% to 68%). It doesn't seem to me that a few percent more vaccinations explains everything. A percentage in the upper 60s, for first vaccinations no less (not even a full vaccination), should not be enough to beat Delta from what I heard about the R0.

(Data source is the same OWID link, you can configure it to show vaccination data.)
It'd be cool if we could just invent a new standard time system that's independent from things like that which add variation or unexpected randomness.

I mean sure it would be annoying but its a one time change and our generation has to endure the pain of upgrading our systems, but it would be worth it no?
Any thought if Windows will embed this natively similar to how Linux pulled WireGuard into the kernel?

This is neat: some Pentax cameras that have GPS, a compass, and most importantly a sensor attached to small motors that allow it to move inside the camera (normally used for in-body image stabilization), also can compensate for the movement of stars in a photo by rotating the sensor to keep the stars stationary relative to the camera. The GPS is needed to tell how the stars overhead will actually rotate.

I assume that this means that anything stationary on the earth will be blurred instead, but still very cool.

Well to be fair to my unfairness to your original post, you'll also get a lot more than $5 of produce out of a single pot.

So, per pot, you'll spend $20 in the first year by my (updated) math, then $5-10 each successive year -- and you'll get about $15 of produce each season. Sometimes much more than $15. Cherry/grape tomatoes are expensive, and the plants are more fruitful than the larger varieties.

Drip irrigation is out of scope. A minute or two, per container, per day, with a hose (or watering can) while you check for hornworms is the operational expectation.

Anyway I don't disagree with your larger point. Little things definitely add up. I've been to IKEA!

I also dislike plastic, but I liked the form factor of the bucket (straight vertical sides) to pack multiples into a small space. I still have the buckets 15 years later, and I use them for all sorts of misc jobs around the garden.
> They’re manipulating that “new purchase” high similar to Facebook juicing us via likes.

Very aptly put. I've been captive to their charm and can verify there is a certain dopamine thrill that quickly vanishes after the subpar goods are brought home and inspected.

These phantom brand dumps invariably smell of cheap plastic dust. That tragic scent fits the gloomy foreboding that such places bring, and should also ward off would-be entrants. It is a literal air of hopelessness. I miss real shops and solid kit.

When he actually was broadcasting, he was never considered "one of the most beloved educators." That was recent hagiography, and I watched him as a child growing up in the 70s. He was one of several. Bob Keehan/Captain Kangaroo was another personality for very young kids. I can say as a child at that time we outgrew him fairly quickly and didn't really hang around him much. If anything, most of the content of that time was similar; Gumby, David and Goliath, Bozo the Clown, and more were discarded as soon as better came along. It was that odd time of transition.

He was the definition of pablum; formula you gave to babies. He was outdated compared to Sesame Street and Electric Company, and was almost kitsch just like Bob Ross was. I believe he was lionized more because millenials and zoomers are so overstimulated they crave the opposite now; blandness to the point of sedation.
Very fair point, important to try to enjoy every stage of the journey.

Agreed. I also wish fewer libraries started their own supervision tree, and instead gave you a child spec to drop into your supervision tree. There's definitely use-cases where shipping libraries as an application makes sense, but oftentimes that sort of design causes problems for me, because it means not being able to start multiple copies of the dependency with different configurations.

I think Phoenix PubSub is a perfect example of how libraries should be structured, in that you just need to drop the module + options into your supervision tree, and you have the freedom of starting multiple independent copies of the tree, in different contexts, and with their own configurations: https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix_pubsub/Phoenix.PubSub.html#module...
My ex wife was like that. One reason she's an ex wife. I lost a job due to her once because she phoned the office after I didn't respond to an SMS while I was in a very tough meeting with a client.

I now have my phone on do not disturb 24/7. I will choose when I participate in messaging. I also disable iMessage on my Mac. If someone comes up to me and talks to me, I may not even respond immediately.

I took this to extremes and a couple of weekends back I actually went for a day long solo hike with zero technology with me at all past a torch, map, compass and alcohol stove. I didn't even have any way of telling the time with me. It was invigorating with the obligation to communicate and steal my attention removed. What was most surprising was the removal of a camera and watch. Rather than being focused on recording my journey and keeping to a schedule I was focused on enjoying it. This has led to considerably more vivid memories and a much higher level of satisfaction. A trip I will always remember.
During the transaction, yes... it is morally incumbent on both parties to ensure they aren't cheating the other. After the transaction though, the moral calculus shifts, and I'm going to take into account the time/convenience cost to myself (among other factors) when I decide whether or not to rectify it. (I've found out the hard way that companies can make this surprisingly difficult or time-consuming.)

You're welcome to your opinions but they're not facts.
I met my girlfriend of one year on bumble, she seems to think I am more interesting than TikTok (which she enjoys) or Youtube or Instagram (where she has a decent size following.)

Honestly I think if you are feeling this way then you might want to traverse deeper into your relationships, if someone is looking for an entirely shallow relationship than this could certainly apply.

But changes in the environment and initial starting point can result in very different approaches. For example land mammals, reptiles and fish are quite different from each other. Because they've "always been here" we don't appreciate how different they are. Imagine if we had no fish and then found a planet with water that had fish in it -- that would seem absolutely shocking to see animals that could breathe underwater.

Spinazzola was one of Italy's best players until he got injured. He practically acted like an extra player, converting from a back to a forward as the team pushed on. Again, overloading the left.

The Italy-Spain match was one of the best I've ever watched. But if Spinazzola hadn't gotten injured, I think Italy wouldn't have had to rely on penalties for Spain and England.
I'm not sure I agree with you (yet), but thanks for providing info rather than downvoting!
Agreed. I've been missing this since AIM went bust.

I also wish there were a way for me to send a low-priority message to my wife so that it didn't notify her regardless of her notification settings. We send each other news articles throughout the day but don't really want to interrupt each other. It would be great if there were a sender-side option that could enable this.

I've thought about using a shared document in the Notes app, or just use a different messaging app for low-priority stuff, but it seems like too much overhead. Does anyone else have a way of handling this?
So what would the difference be between the two again and why should we trust "our" state sponsored troll farms? Frankly that logic is like suggesting we need to molest our kids at home to protect them from being molested by teachers and clergy.
Tell HN: Companies that don’t get give interview performance feedback are bad
I am looking at you Amazon.

I got two emails today
1) After considering your candidacy, we will not be moving forward in the interview process for this position. While Amazon does not provide feedback, we enjoyed learning more about you and hope that you had a positive experience. We encourage you to keep your profile and contact information up to date on http://www.amazon.jobs/ so you can be considered for other roles in the future. Thank you again for taking the time to interview with Amazon. We wish you well in your pursuit of new opportunities and thank you for your interest in our company.

2)Rate our Recruiting Process. We strive to provide our candidates with a great experience at every stage of the interview process and are always looking for ways that we can get better. With this in mind, we would greatly appreciate your feedback on what went well and what we could improve upon in our phone interviews.

This is very annoying. Especially when I emailed them asking when I can apply again and they did not respond. I think companies which do not give any feedback have no right to ask feedback and STFU.
