Reading books is not all that different from gaming from the point of view of value to a child's development. It's escapism, it's a much more solo activity than many online games today, and the primary skills it encourages - reading and imagination - is available in most games to one degree or another.

To put another way, they could limit reading to 3 hours a week for mostly the same reasons.

Freedom is extremly important. The point here is not that Video game is good or bad or how many hours of it is OKay. The point is this is something that must be enforced at family level, or at most at school level. Government forcing this for more than a billion people is just wrong and most likely hurt them in the long run. For example, Who said those days are okay, maybe someone has to work on Weekend. Maybe some kid function better if she plays an hour of game at lunch time. Everyone is different. China has done similar things few decades ago in other industries (e.g., enforcing farming policies). The result was millions of people starve to death.
> Workers would rather not move around.

I really disagree. These junior engineers you're talking about are mostly in their early 20's (even if they're older and switching from a different career track, they're by definition new to the industry and still have a lot to learn). In my experience, they definitely do want to move around. And even if there is a great track for internal promotions and the compensation is going to be the same whether they stay or leave, it honestly is usually in their best interest to move around every couple of years anyway early in their career. They'll meet more new people to grow their professional network faster, work on new problems, see different ways of how teams operate and what works better/worse, and gain more experience faster.

I do think that for the very top performers, most companies should probably be much more aggressive than they are. If someone is really crushing it, like in say the top 1-5% of performers, be ridiculously proactive and promote them from junior engineer to Staff Engineer within 18 months or something. I've seen a couple of people over my career that actually were performing at that level, and no external company is going to give them that big of a boost, so it's a good chance to use your inside information to be more competitive. Otherwise, for the majority of folks that are learning/advancing at a more normal pace, I don't think there's really much a company can do to keep them longer. (Not that you shouldn't even try, it's still a continuum and if you do a really bad job at career growth internally you'll lose even more people faster. But you shouldn't expect to be able to keep most people beyond 2-3 years).

It’s not like this hasn't played out already several times over different issues.
>The best possible interpretation, to me, would be that they think women get away with too much.

>it does mean laying aside assumptions about what they mean and haven't said

My point is that the plain interpretation is problematic in its own right. It's overtly and unduly hostile towards women, so there's no need for additional assumptions. It's regrettable to me that you don't see this, but many don't. It's pernicious, which is exactly why I was compelled to comment.

Because, here we have a group of people that have traditionally had to fight for equal rights in our society and are still engaged in the same. Recasting them as the villains in society or otherwise suggesting that they hold some outsized power that they're abusing is absurd and is part of a pattern of demonizing historical out-groups whenever they seek equality.

Once the narrative becomes, "the real problem in our society is that women get away with too much", then what should society's response be? At a minimum, there's no empathy for their struggle or even acknowledgement that they are deprived of any rights. In fact, they are the problem and need to be somehow checked or curbed, which is a framing that can be used to deny their rights and keep sacrificing them to the political machine.

This is how language shifts the narrative. If the OP had left out that sweeping allegation and just stuck to the narrow topic of differences in the treatment of women and men WRT sexual abuse, then that's a very different, on-topic, and valid conversation. So, ask yourself what the point is of instead broadening it to this general statement about women.

>I think too many things are ascribed to a left or right political leaning

That's a laudable sentiment and I agree. Unfortunately, however, there is a pitched battle being waged by very vocal groups that have dominated our politics and culture. In this process, the right has targeted groups that it uses as political fodder to pit against "traditional society". Pretending that's not happening doesn't make it less true.

>Couldn't a Marxist conceivably say and believe the same thing?

It's not about traditional political definitions involving Marxism, etc. To your point, there's nothing that's necessarily inherently left or right about hostility towards women. However, again, the right in this country has chosen hostility towards certain groups (including women) as a political strategy. And, they would suggest that the left has chosen hostility towards white men as a strategy. So, the right has taken up the cause of "under-siege white men who require protection".

Whether you agree with any of these positions or have a judgment about who's to blame is irrelevant. The fact is, that's where we are. So, in a strict sense, you're right: it's not about traditional notions of left and right. But, it is about the causes that those who've defined themselves accordingly have chosen to elevate.

>Sorry, no. I engaged you on what you said.

In fact, this is the first time you've engaged me. My statement was referring to your reply to shephardjhon.
> Body types vary widely though.

The GP is more referring to companies who deliberately don't conform to standards. Best example of this is women's clothing that alter sizes so they are more appealing to women who don't traditionally fit that size number.

TL;DR - "Omg I finally fit in a size 2 dress" is a huge selling point, even if its not categorically true.

A real credential with teeth would likely eliminate plenty of the "Does this person know anything at all" element of current tech interviews. I've interviewed people who didn't even know what a for loop was or the difference between the stack and the heap. If there was a piece of paper which said that the candidate knows at least the bare minimum about software development, you could at least start the interview at a more advanced (or domain-specific) level.

I doubt hospitals interviewing senior doctors need to ask them basic anatomy questions, or law firms needing to ask candidates the difference between tort and criminal law. Tech could benefit from this minimal minimal bar.
I think this rule only applies to "online gaming services", which is significantly less dystopian.

But I agree with your larger point, and would argue that insofar as we no longer understand our tools' functioning then they can (and will) be used to control us.
Go tells you very explicitly how it resizes slices by forcing you to write this:

slice = append(slice, item)

By merely typing this all the time when you add elements, you intuitively understand that appending can potentially re-allocate the slice data in a totally different location, so any pointers you have taken before the resize are not guaranteed to be pointing to items in the new slice; just the old slice.
This isn't correct. You can embed the original RAW file within the converted one.

"Some candidates asked for an interview without completing the exercise. Unfortunately, this was not an option, as this would not be fair for the candidates who worked hard to get to the interview."

This is just how I look at it, but if I reply to a company about a position, I'd like to know about the position before you make me jump through hoops. The exercise itself is okay, and a brief test like this is much, much better than making a candidate fill out an assessment, but why would I invest that kind of time if I don't even know whether or not I want the job. Think about it from the candidate's perspective, some people in this thread note having done 10s/100s of interviews. Imagine how much time they would spend doing menial coding exercises before even getting to know about the actual position other than the JD.

Again, its probably just me, but last year I literally thanked companies for their time because I didn't know anything about the job and their company and they were already asking me to do take home assignments. Sorry but I have a life, and critically to anyone who's hiring; plenty of people reaching out to me not trying to make me jump through hoops. Maybe if you invited more than 24 people for the exercise or just spoke to some people first, you would've gotten a better pool of (potential) candidates.

That's what I mean: it works in the sense that it does the strict job it was designed to do. It definitely works, strictly speaking.

But is it working in a way that gives you any value? Are you happy that you're just clicking "Watch it Again", or did you want a system that would actually find new shows for you and let you know about new release that you'd be likely to enjoy?

If you are happy with that, then from an engineering perspective, was it necessary to build a complicated algorithm to show you a "Watch it Again" list, or could we have used a single database query and about a hundred lines of code instead?

There are lots of simple heuristics to make a recommendation engine have better success rates. I can build a pretty good movie recommendation engine by just recommending every single Marvel movie that comes out: they're already popular so on average people will click on them. That's not hard. But that's also not the promise that we were sold when companies started proposing/building these systems into their products.

I see phrasing like

> The notice also states that companies must strictly implement the real-name registration and login system in their games and not provide access to video games for those who are unregistered.

But nothing clarifying if they have drawn any distinction between online games that require a persistent connection to servers to function and “offline” games that are stand alone single player experiences with no online connectivity required.

I actually disagree with this (if you’re aiming to work at a company between Unicorn and FANG size), I think there’s 2 parts to getting hired as a new grad or getting an internship as a student.

The first part is the University Hiring recruiters determining whether out of the 1000+ resumes they have read you are likely to have the basic skills required to learn to be a FANG engineer. In this part they don’t actually care much about what you did at your internships or what technologies you’re interested in all they care about is whether you know how to code in a language, know how to manage time and be managed by a superior, and know how to learn to do your job independently. If you pass this, great now you’re off to the races that was the hardest part due to the volume.

Then there’s a second part in every FANG university pipeline where University Recruiting and different hiring managers bounce around your application to find an intern for their team. In this part your demonstrated interests, prior work, and skills are important you’re way more likely to get a deep learning internship if you have deep learning on your resume at this part.

I posit that most university hiring advice focuses on the second part whereas the first part is the most difficult to pass. Think about it is the person with 4 hackathon awards and 3 deep learning side projects more likely to grow into a FANG software engineer than someone who has 2 internships?

Do your side projects involve reporting your progress to your team? Writing design docs and getting feedback from your team? Thinking about maintaining the code base and providing documentation to your coworkers? Those software engineering skills are learned not taught and you learn them on the job even though to other software engineers we would value the candidate with hackathons and side projects more than the one with 2 internships in terms of ability to grow.

I’m probably going to write a blog post or something about this cause I feel quite strongly about this after my experience following everyone’s advice.

I wholeheartedly agree. I've used CFEngine, BladeLogic, Chef, Puppet, Ansible, Salt in various infrastructure management tasks in the UNIX/Linux space. They're all shitty tools, don't get me wrong; they all have giant gaps in functionality especially when it comes to physical storage management. However, Ansible is maybe the least shitty. The cleanest and easiest environment to manage by far, was NIS/NIS+ with properly managed and groomed tables, and bash/ksh over automounter/NFS. I watched this work idempotently, and easily, across arch platforms and various versions of operating systems (some around since before i was born) without anyone on our small team breaking a sweat). Unfortunately, this architecture requires vigilance and a level of control that seems to have slipped away from the operations groups in recent years.

It depends in what context the statistic is used. If you are looking just at vehicle deaths/injuries in general it is fine. If you are trying to justify that road designs and changes are improving driver outcomes, then it is deceptive.

It's interesting how gaming addiction is on the fast track for a formal disorder diagnosis (https://www.psychiatry.org/patients-families/internet-gaming, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5700715/). When I look at Candy Crush - just to pick on one - and other "gamified" (ie optimized for addiction) cases they seem to have a lot more negatives, particularly for groups with still-developing prefrontal cortexes. I really worry about the developmental impact of modern gaming and social media. I have increasingly seen kids that are just not well attached to reality in ways that are detrimental to them, going on several years now.

It feels bad to pick on escapism when the world is such a mess, but, just like the similarly increasing drug problems (particularly in opiates) it is only making the situation worse.

> decade ago my region of the country would produce maybe 50 fresh CS candidates a year, now it’s closer to 500 spread across multiple different educations.

A degree is not the same as “talent”. The degree doesn’t even mean you really “learned” the fundamentals, so much as you were able to regurgitate information and pass exams.

I’m a Principal at Amazon. One issue I see among CS graduates is a lack of understanding in very basic CS fundamentals. On paper, these candidates have CS bachelors degrees. On the other hand, they struggle to pick the right algorithmic approach when something is clearly a graph or tree traversal problem.
something i have seen a few times: candidate is far more qualified for the job than the existing employees and they are afraid of their superiority showing, of the possibility of replacement, so they railroad every candidate. imposter syndrome can prevent teams from growing in positive ways and limit their creativity.
