Why is it hard? Because Google ruined technical interviews with irrelevant trivia and excessively long interview loops.

For some reason a lot of the industry said "hey, if Google does that it must be right!" and they also started asking pointless trivia questions in very long loops.

But why stop there? Let's build out pointless trivia as a service, and assign a numerical score to represent your ability to perform pointless trivia outside the context of an interview.

I really think it's that simple. Tech interviews are broken and need to be drastically simplified. Candidates should be evaluated conversationally as humans and given the opportunity to learn on the job. It's a risky proposition in both directions, there's really no need for trivia, it doesn't prove anything (except act as a red flag for candidates).
I agree almost exactly with everything you said, except

> Vegans are a vanishing minority of all people in terms of "western" diets, they can't drive the market to the corner store.

I think Vegans (and memes about how they tell everyone) are shifting big-city cuisine more, and they're successful in mainstreaming the idea of no-animals. Even if vegan food isnt successful, they're making the idea of not needing meat products more mainstream (and i think milk is the real success story of this).
I very much doubt that I have fallen for a ruse like this.

However, with all the cookie and newsletter popups, it has happened that an object moved on screen as I was clicking, and I ended up clicking some stupid ad. I don't count that since it wasn't my intention nor my mistake.

99% of all the calls I get are from marketers or even worse, robot marketers. Everyone who actually knows me and talks to me regularly knows better to use other channels.
I'm no art historian, but from one point of view, good photography demonstrated qualities you'd find in good painting. Then the medium took on its own aesthetic with camera angles or color saturation of various films. Fast forward to today and between "vertical" compositions (screen orientation) and live photo (very short video) and let's face it, upvoting, our world is less about bad photos than it is about popular photos. From a collector's point of view, I'd think one would align with that more than, say, a contest winner's photo. And, an element of this has always been there, just not as amplified and dominant as it is in this social media era.

@chefandy suggested a better title, and I'd agree. I'd suggest however that his/her title is too gentle. I'd say "How Mass Popularity and Tech Influenced Perception of Photography" because it speaks to the culturally aggregating effect of the Internet.
It will stop when our hospitals aren't stretched past their limits. I don't think anyone knows when that will be right now.

I've complained in other spaces about this, but it really feels like we're reliving the 1918 flu again. People dealt with restrictions the first year, but got fed up the second year. Costing lots of human lives.
A shameless plug but it is a simple —and probably bad written— tool I made many years ago to scratch an itch, and I still use it.

It finds duplicate files and replaces them with hard links, saving you space. Just make sure you provide it with paths in the same filesystem.

I originally wrote it to save some space from personal files (videos, photos, etc), but it turned out very useful for tar files, docker images, websites, and more.
For example I maintain a tar file and a docker image with Kafka connectors which share many jar files. Using duphard I can save hundreds of megabytes, or even more than a gigabyte! For a documentation website with many copies of the same image (let's just say some static generators favor this practice for maintaining multiple versions), I can reduce the website size by 60%+, which then makes ssh copies, docker pulls, etc way faster speeding up deployment times.

Yes! There are soft-money types that criticize charlatanism for characterizing the the government as too distinct from other credit-granting institutions (descriptively, not prescriptively).

That said:

1. I am unaware of any fractional reserve requirement on the Fed, at least one that matters in practice.

2. I am unaware of any time frame in which the outstanding debt needs to be paid back.

All this stuff is quite confusing though, I hope to understand the epicycles here more completely someday, if only to better argue the complexity is accidental, not essential.

Personally i have a better experience, with most places sending me an email that says“ Do you want to add this event?” And i click yes and it gets added to my calendar with location or Zoom link, etc.

I also had a shared calendar with all of the events for my lab synchronized.

I don’t think this is open calendar because it was Google, but it made events pretty seamless.
Show HN: A website to build and host a form that writes to your Google Sheet
> For every transaction, there is typically a winner and a loser.

This is certainly not true. Most of the transactions I engage in don't have a winner and a loser. Those that do tend to be transactions that I consider "bad", regardless of whether I'm the winner or the loser.
> People even discovered more of the Internet, such as things like "file transfer protocol," where they could get lots of stuff no one had ever seen in the form of files. Programs such as "finger" let a person see who had been online, which, again, blew people's minds. People were so excited by the World Wide Web, they never wanted to go back to AOL or Compuserve or Prodigy.

This person's explanation for why AOL died does not match up with my memories. I remember regularly using AOL's built in web browser (which was just a wrapper around IE) to surf the web. The reason my family switched away from AOL was because we could get faster internet through our cable company. It had nothing to do with FTP, fingering, or "discovering the world wide web".

> The business people decided that there should be a way to make something like AOL, even though everyone thought Web sites were amazing and didn't want to go back.

Again, this just doesn't line-up with how I remember things. I remember people liking the sense of community AOL had (the chats, IMs, forums, etc). It was other factors (faster internet, etc), that led to AOL's downfall.
I knew it wasn't Hitachi, but you prompted me to go search for it. Ended up finding them via wikipedia under a "defunct manufacturers" list, though it notes they're not defunct, just left the business: ExcelStor.
> In my town close to 20% of the hospitalizations are vaccinated.

That implies that 80% of the hospitalizations are unvaccinated. Which I then correlate to: 80% of the hospital bed use is directly preventable? 80% of the hospitalized cases are draining our resources better applied to other emergencies?

Inexcusable.

> Thats a specific attempt to conflate them with the Jenny McCarthy brand of anti-vaccination folks.

Respectfully, I find the defense of anti-vaxxers and/or "vaccine skeptics" points of view is irrelevant to this particular thread of discussion. This thread is specifically about their outsized - and more importantly preventable - negative impact on the available medical resources.

Address that, and I'm perfectly fine with the lifting of restrictions, because they won't be needed anymore.

But right now? Those restrictions absolutely are needed.
Found one

Bandwidth negotiation - you can already interfere in the same way without it. This is also true of any radio communication, ELF or EHF

Spread spectrum - yes but has the ability to not significantly interfere with any single other link, can obviously otherwise be kept out of the tiny segment for weak digital or otherwise confined to sub bands

Encryption - this one's my favorite: the hardware is already common, if this argument were true then ham would already be dead. If someone is being abusive they don't give their call anyway and we hunt them with DF the way we always have.

Bands - have you seen 17m to light?

Tldr we have coexisted by being neighborly for over 100 years. New technologies won't add or remove the underlying need for being neighborly. We can therefore play with the new toys if we continue to uphold those principles as we always have.
You're putting words in my mouth with stuff like:

> No, heh, no it is not, at least not in the context we're discussing. Capitalism didn't start in the last 20 years.

I did not make the claim that Capitalism started in the last 20 years - I made the claim that debt/credit is at the basis of a capitalistic society which is econ 101.

> Not sure we're going to agree here though.

We very much will not, and I don't appreciate how you literally were putting words in my mouth to back your claim. Good day.
I own a company that did/does this. It's not attractive from a business perspective. Huge amount of detailed work required to get/keep working; hosting providers shaft you (see post above); nobody wants to pay because "gcal is free".

What a time to be alive... we can create a single purpose operating system, to run under a hypervisor, to forward traffic inside a NAT firewall, with patches applied that bypass the separation of user-space configuration parsing and move them into kernel functions.
This comment thread is a really interesting instance of a social phenomenon that happens in forums.

The overwhelming majority of comments here are both:

1. Partially or fully supportive of this policy.

2. Downvoted to grey.

There seem to be two ways people are engaging with this topic:

1. Writing a nuanced comment about how this is probably good for children or well meaning (to be downvoted by most readers).

2. Upvoting the handful of comments that point out how this is obviously a terrible overreach (but not writing as much in a comment because it has already been said).

Because those with an unpopular opinion have so much more to express, those perspectives generate the most comments and the fewest upvotes/most downvotes.

This phenomenon tends to make it seem like a minority opinion is held by the majority present.

> (works after hours, weekends, during vacations)

I was working for a company and employees there were working for long hours and weekends. Managers too were doing the same. It was sort of a badge of honour that an employee is working beyond the office hours and also on weekends. It was the culture of the company. Then one day the managers were sent to a workshop on how to identify talent, increase productivity and build a more happy culture.

When they came back from the workshop, a strict dictat was passed that no one will be in the office for more than 8 hours and no work on weekends. So one day I asked one of the managers, why the sudden change? what has changed? And he replied, in the workshop they attended the speakers there said, if an employee is working long hours and working on weekends then either the employee is incompetent, has no ability to delegate or the company has serious problem of allocating tasks to people so that one person is not overloaded with work. This amounts to burnout, sets wrong example to other employees and overtime decreases productivity. All this is not good for the company and the employees.

So, this comparison of 10x with "works after hours, weekends, during vacations" is wrong on so many levels.
Celery in production: Three more years of fixing bugs
A General Introduction; Hardening for Security
I don't know if this is my personal bubble, but I've had my phone on vibrate-only for nearly 20 years, and I think some of my friends back then did that as well.

It's not because I consider calls useless, though, but because most of the time I'll notice the vibration (most environments are quiet), and I find the vibration less disturbing in most environments than a ringtone. If I don't happen to notice the vibration (could happen e.g. while walking), rather few calls are so important that they couldn't be returned later on.

Bonus points for being less disturbing in case I happen to forget to silence the phone in situations that warrant that. I of course still make it a point to make it completely silent if I go somewhere that really requires that, but in most situations vibrate-only allows for worrying less.
I ran into this problem working on differential equations that model pattern formation (reaction-diffusion equations, originally postulated by Turing in the 1950s). The equations are highly nonlinear, but some solutions can be found when solving the problem on a sphere. You get spot solutions that dynamically move essentially to the minimum energy configuration (Fekete points I believe are called). BTW, Neil Sloane, of OEIS fame, has a list of the best packings, up to n=100 I believe [0].

Things get interesting when you also allow the sphere to grow, the spots start to split (and sometimes annihilate), understanding how the spots move on the sphere is itself a very interesting problem.

I was just thinking of trying to do similar. The main thing I’d deviate from this configuration is using masquerading- for a multiuser setup you’d want an ip pool and arp for one address per tunnel.

Trying to diagnose issues or track traffic per user becomes nigh impossible transiting a PAT-NAT.
Obesity isn't a condition that is easily changed by choice--ending obesity requires some pretty major lifestyle changes, and maintaining that lifestyle change for an extended period. It's probably harder than quitting smoking.

Choosing to change your mind and get vaccinated is a radically different situation. It's not hard to find a vaccination site; it's not hard to get to a center if you need to--it's basically as hard as going shopping, which is already a decently common activity for much of the population.
> Not sure about English, but in my language we have a saying "The fish stinks from the head"

English has this expression too, except it's "The fish rots from the head". (Which, when you think about it, makes more sense.) What's your first language?
It's ironic because these people have no problem shitting where they eat, moving on to a place that has not been defiled yet but their riches and absolute lack of moral compass.

The 70 cm rule is the silliest. The limit for digital data is 100 kHz, but you can legally transmit 6 MHz wide analog television. Because wide bandwidth video is allowed, digital video modes like DVB-S, DVB-T and ATSC are also allowed. To get around the 100 kHz restriction for data, some folks are running links with 95% data and a low rate video sub-stream.
Based on the hype around eBPF, you'd think it was a new JS framework. I suspect that it's hype will dwindle as people realize that it's mostly invisible to them. Just pay for <random monitoring solution> and it'll plug into eBPF, without you having to say the words e, b, or even pf.
If you need to show proof of vaccination and negative tests at the individual level, then blanket banning a country from entry is pointless political theater, no?
My point is that if "playing games" for days on end is a concern, this does next to nothing to fix that. In fact, I'm not even sure there is a fix per se. As a parent, I think this is a big problem. Literally an entire generation of young men and women are wasting entire days on their YouTube/TikTok/computer games addiction (often all three) and neither learning nor doing anything worthwhile with their lives. That bill will come due in the form of poverty, crime, substance abuse, and death 10-20 years from now, when these folks see that they can't get paid for watching youtube all day. At least not reliably. Kudos to the Chinese for seeing a little bit ahead of everyone else, even if their "solution" is nothing of the sort.

> What do you believe New Zealand should do?

Most other western countries tried to develop vaccines as quickly as they possibly could starting in early 2020 because they thought that was the long-term solution.

I get what you mean though about a small country, but it's not like New Zealand doesn't have universities as well. Waiting for someone else to hopefully solve the problem and then buy it was a gamble - I guess it paid off thankfully.
The question is garbage as phrased to be sure, but I think the auxiliary context matters a lot in this type of questions. Mentioning "python", when databases are language agnostic, heavily implies the answer is a language feature. Furthermore the way the question is asked (reading from a script) also implies there is a specific non-open-ended answer.

I still answered the question in my head on a whim, half-expecting it to be false, it's a really vague formulation. Sounds like the interviewer was randomly browsing language features and cutting and pasting random descriptions from whatever tutorial. Or maybe the company was using python generators in a really specific "data pulling" niche that the answer seemed extremely obvious to the technical team writing the questions and they forgot that outsiders are not wired to think of the same patterns.

I agree with most of what you say, especially about simplifying and shortening the process, but I'm not sure about:

>"It's a risky proposition in both directions"

It seems like the worst case for the developer is that they get paid for doing nothing useful for a while, then have to find another job. The worst case for the company is that they pay out a bunch of money, and dedicate a variety of resources, to someone who delays a (hopefully non-vital) project. This is not a symmetrical proposition.
The vaccines don't reliably prevent spread. That is hardly an extraordinary claim, it's an established scientific fact. Fortunately the vaccines are still very effective at preventing deaths.

Apple Music currently doesn't even get this right within the same album. I've added a Beethoven piano concerto recording from Apple Music to my library, which at some point was suddenly split into two albums:

https://i.imgur.com/HF59nNj.png

The albums spontaneously splitting is not limited to classical music. It has happened several times that an album I had added to the library got replaced by a dozen best-off albums containing 1-2 songs each.

As an Apple Music subscriber, I welcome the acquisition, and hope that problems like these will be reduced, and I can listen to the 4th concerto in one go again.

Disclaimer: Involved in both KDE (including kde pim and kalendar) and Nextcloud. See bio.

* I wouldn't call Nextcloud codebase old. It's a PHP 7.3 codebase with sure quite a lot of legacy stuff but a lot of thing has been improved and refactored with the time. It's maintained, there is an active community and an healthy enterprise behind the project. IHMO this is that matters more than the programming language used.

* SabreDAV supports WebDAV and this is that we are using at Nextcloud for our webdav/caldav and carddav support.

* KOrganizer does run on Windows but it require to be built from source. I have been told that a better Windows support is being worked on for the entire PIM suite and I hope that at some point exe can be distributed. Technically there is nothing that makes it impossible to use on macOS, we just need more helping hands to help with fixing the platform specific issues. There is also a modern alternative to Korganizer being worked on called Kalendar. More on it can be learned on https://claudiocambra.com/ (Disclaimer: I was the mentor of this GSoC project).

> Personally, I have never seen SCRUM or any agile approach working in a project setup ever.

they work great. Just their goal isn't successful delivery of the project (on that aspect they fail spectacularly). The goal of SCRUM/Agile/Lean - ie. what they are designed for - is extremely low latency and high observability by the management (and thus the management just loves it, total micromanagement under the guise of team freedom). That all comes naturally at a great cost of throughput. I.e. the "watched pot" situation. The project direction is changed very fast, there is a lot of activity, the bees are overly busy, the management always know and able to report the current progress state, while the project is hardly really moving toward the actually successful state.

> People simply want to listen to music created by people

I don't think people care who composed the music, I believe people want to see music played and sang by people. Going to a concert where you're just looking at a computer generating sound won't inspire the croud, but if the band plays something composed by an AI, who cares? Even nowadays music has multiple collaborators on a composition, and I almost never pay attention to who they all are.
