> For all the text you have written, you have not really stated which of those to cut out, and what to replace it with.

Neither one of these claims are true. You're again ignoring the context on record.

You yourself stated, "You can't cut out the browser, so the only thing left was that single binary you first replied to", and the general tone is implying that being this explicit for something so obvious is superfluous (and I'd agree). Even so, there's my reply in the affirmative. So the combo of so-obvious-it-doesn't-need-to-be-stated + having it stated anyway is working against you here on the claim that I never clearly described which to cut out.

As for the second part, I assert that putting up a /colophon page that can function "as a substitute for your static site generator binary" similar to the hypothetical README.html that I mention in comment 28407936 <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28407936> in fact _very_ straightforwardly addresses the "what to replace it with" issue.

> Is there a product or project you can recommend?

That's a subtle change in criteria. Many people are not content to use anything except a homegrown static site generator, and my original reply was only supposed to refer to the concept of using the runtime that you already get for free in your browser to cut out the need for either a separate runtime ("full language" runtime, in their words) or a separate binary that needs to be installed and maintained out-of-band. It was not supposed to be a recommendation of a specific project, nor does the context demand it.

> sounds dismissive/rude to the comment you were replying to (equally likely reason why you were getting downvoted)

That's a new claim original to this comment only—again, changing context—and in any case is another bad reading.

> But hey, I might be wrong, maybe I'm too stupid to get it

I don't think you're too stupid to get it; I think you're just committed to not understanding, or that you're possibly feigning a lack of understanding well past the point where you really do understand, e.g. because your real commitment is to the issue of whether I have communicated clearly—and a sudden realization on your part (esp. of something that _was_, on a second reading, adequately conveyed but earlier missed) would conflict with that commitment.

This is a real risk when working with offshore teams in India.

We had to get involved in the interview process multiple times as the talent is absolutely there. But left to their own devices a lot of the sites ended up hiring friends or "cousins".

I'm not sure if that came down to Caste or just "you scratch my back, and I'll scratch yours" but it was far from meritocratic.
I spent a 5 years out of 40 working for a consulting firm, and I think it was valuable, as you get thrown in to all sorts of random things, which provides some great experience at dealing with stuff you barely knew existed before the customer walked into the door. This was mostly around the turn of the millennium (including Dotcom era).

The flip side was seeing some idiotic customers you had to build things for that clearly made zero sense, technical or business, and often led you to wonder about your sanity. I worked on one project for several months at which point the company pivoted to an unrelated business, and then refused to pay for the work done, as they no longer needed it. Another project was very successful in fixing their business issues, but they refused to pay for an extra week caused by a relatively major requirement change, so I had to leave the project incomplete. In another project the arguments about signing the contract took longer than the project did, so I was forced to work without any communication with the client.
Didn't quite parse your second paragraph. Missing a few words?
> Is it not legal to verify references for a permanent position, in Germany?

Not a lawyer, but I think you cannot call up a former employer. IIRC there are several legal reasons that make it almost impossible and too much of a hassle for everyone involved. Your ex-employer must give a written reference for example. It must be beyond doubt that the applicant has given their voluntary consent to you calling an ex-employer, because otherwise if you don't hire the applicant, the applicant could sue you, etc.

There is the Arbeitszeugnis which as an employer-to-be you can request. And the language of the Arbeitszeugnis in itself is a science of its own, because it may not contain negative wording so there are various phrases that are used to communicate negative behaviour, etc.

PS: I wouldn't rule out that here and there a phone call to an ex-employer happens. It's just pretty risky if the candidate should find out.
Ardour is really great for recording and mixing. For a more "contemporary" workflow you might want to try zrythm¹, it's getting better and better.

> I wouldn't hire someone who said that. It translates to "I'll only be honest if you are honest."

So you concede you are NOT going to be honest, then, but are expecting 100% honesty back because of the notion of honor, which is what exploitative, scummy people usually do. You also invoke honor to make the other guy not question your honesty.

No.

A job is a bargain we strike in good faith. I will stick to my end of the bargain to the exact extent of you sticking to yours. This is how people who actually have honor do business.

Why would they US government not be able to print its way out? I assume the US will be able to as long as it has the preeminent military and a stable society and court system, with relatively high levels of trust compared to other countries.

If another similar size country becomes a more stable option, then I would be worried.
I would guess they start looking into it again after the generics transition is done. But I think it is a good practice not to force things but let certain ideas rest, if no agreement can be reached. Probably the best solution hasn't been found yet :)

The most lazy programmer I ever seen, to the point where he rarely finished anything and where everything took absurd amount of time excelled in these. There is sort of person who is smart, reads blogs/hacker news/journals a lot, have all the right opinions and can theorize about this or that solution easily.

Everyone, especially developers, who was not on his team thought how genius he was. (Imo, largely because he is also completely immersed in tech-culture projecting all the correct work not related social signs of genius developer. )

Ulcerative colitis can cause both. As can every single one of those. And because you’re clearly a child and need further explanation and seem to hate fat people:

If ulcerative colitis causes wasting disease then this will cause anorexia which is another serious medical problem. Should we force these people to eat more and deal with the toilet life (btw that’s a real cute minor form of ulcerative colitis)?

> What is the problem with solar panels and fires? What happens when a house with a Tesla Solar Roof is on fire?

When solar panels were new, firefighters were afraid, that classic methods will no longer work and that lots of houses would burn down, because the solar panels would be a solid, impenetrable "shield" against the water from the outside.

Turns out that solar panels will melt due to the heat before the firefighters arrive (for large fires where you have to extinguish from the outside), have killswitches, can be ripped from the roof when using a ladder and a wooden pole with a hook at the end... In the end it was just fear of this new and rather unknown technology.

Also tactics have evolved. Your main path to the fire will be from the inside, especially for normal housing fires, as you want to get as close als possible to the fire so you'll have to use as little water as possible. This lead to a steep decline in the use of "attacks from the outside".

Those will only be necessary for very large fires. In that case the panels are often gone, as already mentioned, or the house is a total loss, so destroying the panels forcefully is not that bad if you really need to do it.

Tesla Solar roofs will probably behave like any other panel/tile and can be penetrated with the right equipment or will break down by themselves as a result of excessive amounts of heat. I don't see big problems here.
What's stunning to me is the ease with which it gives me fringe content. Example: I searched for a funny 20s clip of our President of the Republic, instantly the recommendations were filled with propaganda from the local right-populist party's yt channel.

> In one of them, I demoed a personal project and showed bits of its code. I think it would've been quite condescending of them to have me do a fizzbuzz after I've shown them 10k lines of working code and its credibly your own code. Most candidates I see have some repos on their GitHub which are implementations of coursera coursework.

I guess its a reasonable substitute, IFF the candidate has such a project to show.

> The other company didn't even care to see my code even though I brought my laptop.. they just took it for granted that I can code.

With such a company I would have doubts that I might start in a team with people who cannot code or code fairly badly. I expect, in an interview as an applicant, to see that the position that I start in has a certain appreciation of engineering work. If the prospective employer can convince me that they are caring about their staff's skill levels and code quality, etc without a code-interview, I guess its ok. But most companies that have no coding part in their interview process just don't assess the skill-level.

Frankly, I doubt it. While it would cause severe issues if the Chinese decided to stop exporting goods to the rest of the World, the supply chains have been under a lot of strain the past two years.

They already have a social network. It just requires a hardware purchase to actually join it.
It is defending the current Modi government and hyper-nationalism combined with a bit of ostrich behaviour. The govt. talks about "policy" but in reality elections are fought on caste. It is called "caste equation" and requires delicate balancing act to not antagonise anyone at the same time pleasing everyone. It is playing in Indian MSM right now as important state elections are approaching next year.

It seems Automattic is part of a select group of tech companies who are desirable as places to work, and have more high quality applicants than they can hire, and need to whittle down.

That's great. And if I apply to one of those I really need to expect that.

Now the company can be in this great position by being a world leading engineering organisation that is growing exponentially. Google, Facebook et al a few years back perhaps.

But alternatively, any $RANDOMCOMPANY can think it is in this position not by attracting the best applicants globally, but by only hiring 3 people a year. The company still will get more high quality applicants than it can hire, so it needs to whittle down.

But from the applicant side, applying to Google looks very different than applying to $RANDOMCOMPANY and they will drop in preference order.

Taken to its logical extreme, each candidate will choose one company only to apply to based on the existing job pool and their expectations of getting the job. That seems silly.

I mean the main problem there is _NO_ free marked (in the sense of a proper self regulating marked consumers can reasonable influence by their buying decisions).

A proper free marked requires that:

- People have a choice (no monopolies or oligopoly on any level),

- People can see problems and decide to therefore not to buy from a given company => i.e. transparency. We are very far way from this, with how the world and technology moved on the only way to archive it is to require easy accessible transparency, especially of ownership of companies, land and especially in the finanzial/stock market. Even if this means that people privatly investing there in more then small sums losing privacy (because if you move larger amounts of mony you ARE basically a company!)

- If a company messes up, the competition should be able to pick up where the original company left of. I.e. Patents and locked down electronic devices are fundamentally non free marked.

- probably more stuff I missed.

Many of the points above are often not associated with a free marked (at least in the US) potentially the opposite, but they are IMHO essential for a free marked to work like originally intended.

Or in other words, the "free marked" the US has IMHO can not work, in the sense that it can't have the positive effects a free marked is supposed to have because the dynamics in thir marked often outright conflicts the dynamics a free marked is supposed to have leading to a continuous degrading marked (from a human/citicen/society POV).

Note: they also know that I won't be working at my best. And if they'd reason through what I would say, then they'd understand what that entails.

I need to pay my bills, so if that's the best I can get then I'll have to take it. I've had this situation happening after applying to jobs for 18 months (as a fresh CS grad).

> Everyone gets to choose whether they are a man or an animal.

We've always been animals, we're not different enough to warrant a different classification. Chimpanzees can reason as well, so can Octopuses, crows and dolphins. They have abilities that we don't have and vice versa. There are many animals that have risen above simple instincts. There are enough experiments to show that old world monkeys have ethics and morality just like we do (including obvious altruistic behavior).

Also, I feel that the comparison is futile. Focus on developing yourself. Who cares if you think you're better than a macaque. Are you better than who you were 2 years ago? Do you feel your life is better? Are you happier because you invest in yourself and your community. IMO those are the things that matter. Comparing ourselves to animals and then implicitly claim that they have fucked up ethics (since they have no honor) is un-nuanced at best.
Algae blooms cause hypoxia by their decomposition at the bottoms of bodies of water. Through harvesting the algal biomass, no such decomposition can take place and a hypoxic environment is not created.

In addition, algae produce oxygen, so as long as the algae are removed after, water might become more oxygenated through algal treatment.
Indeed, I've once met someone who migrated a COBOL project to Java, the biggest complain wasn't even the Language itself, but extracting business logic from a 40-year old spaghetti codebase. Sometimes bugs where part of the business logic itself and other developers who consumed the monstrosity had to make corrections on their side.

> They don't (want to) understand that social network means that users talk to each other.

No, I think they perfectly understand that. The iPhone is their social network. You can use it to manage your contacts, call, send messages(both long and short), share photos and videos, and video chat. What more else do they need that they don't already have?
Yeah I suspect this is the case, the original intention and structure was solid but it's been progressively shifted into that FAANG space. I think the only solution is probably a question tailor made to the company interviewing, that doesn't rely on leetcode-style approaches to solve.
I was chatting to community member about a live stream we have planned on OpenFaaS later today and both of us may have to tether due to ISP issues.

I mean, IP is by its very nature designed to be monopolistic, and with the decline of manufacturing and the rise of tech, IP is making up a bigger and bigger part of the US economy. So of course it's becoming more monopolistic.

At the current moment I don't believe there is a problem so I would advocate for doing nothing. Maybe later I would change my view but in that case I would like to see a rational and fair approach rather than a vindictive one.

For example if 3rd party digital app stores are forced on Apple, then they should be forced on everyone including Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft as well. Additionally they should be forced on Epic too, which has a monopoly on selling cosmetic items in Fortnite.
Fizz-Buzz (or equivalent tasks) are just a quick way to tell whether the minimal basics are met. I don't ask Fizz Buzz but give problems that are only slightly more complex.

I'd consider it to be a "handshake". If the basics don't work you don't need to waste both sides time.

> People who can't code fizzbuzz will usually fall flat on those questions as well

yes, but it is harder to tell whether they were completely incapable (what FizzBuzz will tell you) or whether they just didn't touch certain topics in their career. I'll gladly hire a capable engineer who was active in a different domain who I am certain will be able to grasp the necessary knowledge quickly.
