There is no objective way to assess a candidate on an interview just as there is no objective way to specify and measure what a good employee is.

What I try to do is I try to learn specific things about the candidate not because they can be measured easily or objectively but rather because I think they are important.

I am not "vibing" with the candidate (although this is definitely a plus!) I have a checklist of things and I try to make sure, by the end of the interview, that I can run through my checklist and have an answer for each point on it.

Here's a thought that I think of every once in a while: Is there anything you can do with salt to "get rid" of it in a way that makes it insoluble? Like convert it to some other mineral?
> As a kid/teenager I learned some lessons a lot better because they came in the form of offensive humor. I still remember some of them word for word 20+ years later. I worry about this in the context of current day puritanism a lot more that I care about movies, TV, social media, etc. I think we're raising generations of stuck up people who will fall even harder in puritan extreme

Amen, brother!
As a parent of a middle schooler, I have this exact worry. At his age, I was much more offensive and crude, but I like to think I turned out ok. Meanwhile he’s growing up in an era where the language has been ultra gentrified.I went to school in the 90s, when professors cursed freely & wrote “shaft the customer!” on the blackboard to express their solidarity with Alan Perlis, with no consequence of repercussion. No way you can get away with that today in a CS class. These days there are actual rooms called Salesforce Lab & Infosys Building in a university nearby, because of the funders. When I worked at Sun, Scott McNealy sent an email that said “we are at war” and pointed out it took 13 bytes to send those utf8 chars as a txt file on unix but 1.5MB to do the same as a doc file on Windows. It got a lot of offensive “fucking micro$oft” replies & forwards complete with the dollar sign throughout the company wide network - imagine if such a thing is possible today.
I took my kid to the hospital for the flu shot & routine annual. So the doc walks up to him with a very serious expression and tells him in a somber voice - “Now I am going to take a look at your private parts, and that’s ok only because your dad is here, otherwise we both know nobody is supposed to look at your private parts. ok ? “ I was drinking a cup of starbucks & spilt coffee all over the fucking floor doubling in laughter. He was not amused. Afterwards, he said, in my time we’d just say drop your pants & show me your dick motherfucker. But those days are gone :(

One of the great features of S3 is that it has an arbitrary prefix index on keys! And the list API paginates on batches of 1000 which is useful.

You can retrieve all objects with a given prefix, which is great for storing content-addressed files, and being able to iterate on them. You can also partition on arbitrary prefixes too.
That has been going on for a while. At least fifteen years ago, I read an article about the Irish police busting a guy who was doing the Nigerian letter thing out of an internet cafe. The man was described as "African-American", though there was no evidence given in the article that he had ever crossed the Atlantic.
There's a lot of ways to measure "profitable".

Judging from their current numbers the service is profitable on a per user basis, less marketing expenses.

This is a pretty reasonable way to look at it. Being cashflow positive means you can turn up marketing to grow and turn it down if needed.
Cute but disappointing.
>If we have learned anything over the past five to ten years is is that the educated critical thinking population is just as likely to crawl up their own backside in self-assured certainty that they are right and the so-called authoritative sources are wrong when in fact they are nothing more than Dunning-Kruger replicators.

I too hear this quip often on HN and I see no foundation for it at all. Part of being educated and having an ability to think critically is to question your own assumptions and be willing to change them. To look at evidence and reevaluate, to experiment and test. It's the process science uses to dig through the unknown and uncertainty to find nuggets of truth and separate the mistakes and lies. It's slow and in the absence of analysis you shouldn't rush to conclusions. An often tell tale sign of misinformation/disinformation at play is pushing a false sense of urgency to persuade people to make decisions without thinking and often simply lean or what's beibg projected as an authorative answer.

I'm not speaking about those who think they're informed and ready to combat persuasion but are just entrenched in their own perhaps false viewpoints, say the antivaxers of recent times. Being truly educated in this domain is understanding that you might actually be wrong or are susceptible for persuasion, acknowledging what you do and don't know, figuring out what the information is saying and potential motives of it, and be willing to check to see if you are wrong and change your views if so.

I agree. Almost all historians acknowledge the persistent existence of nomadic and hunter gatherer societies living at the same time as agricultural based societies.

The problem with Graeber is that, as a self-described anarchist, he specifically looks for evidence of non-hierarchical hunter gatherer societies in his review of research and draws broad conclusions based on select data points.

It's the same danger anyone encounters when they're very passionate politically, and go to great lengths to look for evidence to support their modern politics in the historical record.
He's also talented and very funny.

I respect his reasons, but I'll miss his comedy.
If you want to generate traffic first, let companies post for free during the beta phase. Take money but give a long free trial, just my 2 cents. I need candidates but I wouldn’t pay for something that had zero guarantee anyone will ever even get a single page view. My personal humble opinion. Good luck with the launch, great idea and execution otherwise!
Those apps aren’t only daily use but have a high switching cost. So it’s a double whammy: a company that can get punters to switch into their app at a high rate (despite the cost) must be doing something right and will also have the benefit of a drag on people switching out.
See my comment from the other reply on this question for potential solutions, but as an fyi for those curious, Nim does come with a VIM that comes in very handy for such purposes: https://nim-lang.org/docs/nims.html
Of course it's an MS Teams issue, but I am required to use MS Teams for work, so it's problematic to be using a machine that has trouble running it!

Unless you're saying even a new M1 mac has just as much trouble running it!
Mr Minchin is spot on. I was fortunate enough to realize the same thing at age 2. From then on, I steadfastly refused to become famous. It wasn't always easy, but when--as a toddler--you clearly see the devastation that fame can bring, it clears the mind and makes the required discipline bearable. It's bittersweet, but in the long run, I'm glad I have had a relatively normal life.
I think we'd probably see apple use the fast and slow ram method that old computers used back in the 90's.

16-32GB of RAM on the SOC, with DRAM sockets for usage past the built in amount.

Though by the time we see an ARM MacPro they might move to stacked DRAM on the SOC. But i'd really think two tier memory system would be apple's method of choice.

I'd also expect a dual SOC setup.

So I don't expect to see that anytime soon.

I'd love to get my hands on a Mac Mini with the M1 Max.

The M1 does not emulate x86 instructions (in hardware). Emulation is provided by Rosetta 2, a combined ahead-of-time and just-in-time emulation that can run x86-64 macOS binaries on Aarch64. However, there is still some hardware support for Rosetta 2 in the M1, e.g. to support strong memory ordering.

More details on Rosetta 2 internals can be found at https://ffri.github.io/ProjectChampollion/

Magic Wormhole is probably what you’re thinking of. The live handshake requirement is definitely a limiting factor on that approach, but probably still worth doing. Other options would be QR codes and registry services.

The protocol team is looking at using the ristretto algorithms to derive “subdomains” which would reduce the amount of key sharing a fair bit
I've always viewed the @FunctionalInterface interfaces in Java 8 as very similar to Rust's Option and Result. Sure they're just like any other interface, but you can do special things with them because of their properties (single method).

I would take that over Go's special syntax for map any day as I now have the power to create my own functional interfaces and plug them into Java's standard library.
I'm curious about Apple's cloud strategy. "Cloud, but only for iUsers" seems... weird, from a scaling perspective?

Granted, there are more Apple device customers than any other possible bucket, but is it enough to drive economies down to the point of competing on cloud pricing?

And if not, then they're still stealing iDevice margin to price cloud competitively.

For anyone thinking or saying - "isn't this something someone could do as an extra job at weekends" - from my personal experience driving some medium-size trucks in the UK while I was at university (helping a friend who had a delivery company), driving anything that's larger than a van is a totally different experience than driving any sort of car, and is both much harder work and a magnitude more stressful. Not to mention how f**ing difficult it is to reverse.

And I wasn't driving anything near the size of the rigs being talked about here.
Sorry! It's back up now.
Most of the truck rental places DGAF how old you are as long as you have a valid license. All the B2B ones basically expect that the person doing the rental won't be the one doing the driving and they're gonna slap a min-wage 18yo in the seat regardless.
When I walk Manhattan (say, from Park and 42nd to 8th and 25th), I know that I need to cross a certain number of intersections to get there. It's efficient to cross wherever you see a walk sign early on, so most times you end up getting to 8th before you get to 25, because there are streets than avenues.

So, "shortest path" might not be quickest path. And it might be an uglier or a more dangerous path; I think I've read elsewhere that people will often pick streets that look nicer or are more pedestrian-friendly.

They should reconsider their definition of "optimal"!
It doesn't take a rocket science to figure out a cokehead who was kicked out of the navy who speaks 0 Russian or Ukranian, and has 0 experience in the energy industry but whose dad is a prominant politician getting millions is corruption.

I think the bigger issue is how so many people refuse to see this.

And for you people who want to write this off as partisan, Romney was in on it too by a similar line of reasoning.

This is a neat idea, I can see someone learning to recognize words and associate meaning to those words in a language they don't know.
Java supports lambda expressions since Java 8, 18 years since the first release of the language. Certain things got ingrained during these years, a lot of code bases created and maintained in a particular way. The initial decision to not have free-standing functions or lambdas definitely shaped the ecosystem.

The problem of the static method as a function is not the implementation, it's the ergonomics. It's not terrible, but certainly it is wordy. I agree that a conservative approach to adding any new syntax is wise for a project of such an industry footprint. But the wordiness is what the original article points at, not any logical design faults.
Ask HN: I applied to YC and then the wait?
what was it like when you first applied to YC and receiving the offer?

Sacrificing is what most founders do when starting out -building a company. What's is like when you believe so much in your product, market, however, it needs a little breathe for it to catapult into the next level?

I'm so much in love with YC and what they stand for, can't believe i refresh my emails waiting to
my first interview email, lol.

It's an experience what telling, my startup is solving a problem - anomaly detection for companies.

I recall sometime post facebook era, i wanted to build a facebook chat-like version for businesses, then came SLACK, Trello etc....we couldn't lift the product up then. I knew there was a market for it which has been proved right.

This time around, am building another interesting product that will help businesses accelerate decision making process without the need for ML engineers. Crazy right? we are automating AI.

I just thought to pour out my heart here, keep building.

What's your experience like?
Thanks - I really appreciate that! On one hand it is partly this, the uptime/reliability/LTS endpoints have been the focus of many years of work.

However, that said, I think in the majority of the actual cases I'm describing above the cause is more a combination of 1.) the surprising percentage of tech companies that appear to be in a state of continual organizational dysfunction and 2.) how API's are inherently a background type of thing like lloydatkinson wrote!

In about 1 in 10 cases I'd also say the cause is actually because of merger/acquisition - which is just always a complex and organizationally challenging process.
> Of course it is. It's descriptive and searchable.

If I entered "nim json" into google I'd get thousands of results for the language and json in general, and no way to narrow it down to meaning the operator "JON". That's not really what searchable means.
Its silly that they wont just let you delete the whole bucket but this actually pretty cheap tho.

Based on some quick maths, deleting a million files would only cost you like $5.

P.S. Again its silly they do this and I'm probably greatly underestimating how these costs can add up for mid to large orgs.
Have you been to Lenovo's or HP's homepage and seen what they charge for their high end ZBooks and P series laptops with those specs? No one is saying that you cannot get a Windows laptop with similar specs for cheaper if you buy from a cheaper brand and upgrade it yourself. But if you want a top of the line high end Windows laptop from someone like Lenovo or HP with matching specs then those companies charge basically the same as Apple.
You don't need to be accredited to buy bitcoin.

You might need to be accredited to invest in a bank that operates on bitcoin, or have all your money parked on an exchange that operates in bitcoin, unless they're willing to do the paperwork. These are things that can and should be audited regularly if they're going to hold a lot of people's money.
I think Nim is in the sweet spot for it. You start with basically OCaml, which is already a great start, add some knobs for tweaking memory management, some for high performance, and you're in a great places. Compiling to native and to JS allows you to do web, cli tooling, applications, high level gamedev. Fast compilation is important for scripting, high level gamedev, exploratory programming, scripting. High performance allows you to do low level gamedev, deep learning, stuff like that. Being bootstapable from C and compiling to it with the memory management tweaks opens you the world of embedded.

There's also the fact that not all language are perfect. If they all are, the general language would always lose to the specific in every niche, so you need to do different things for the general to be worth. But languages aren't perfect, and you could prefer the general language even in niches.
I don’t even see his mistake as being “too honest”, it’s more like he was just being petty. If someone thinks a company sucks but you think it’s great, is it really worth arguing to change their opinion, especially with such an inflammatory statement?
As a data scientist, I sometimes find myself going over 64 GB. Of course it all depends on how large data I'm working on. 128 GB RAM helps even with data of "just" 10-15 GB, since I can write quick exploratory transformation pipelines without having to think about keeping the number of copies down.

I could of course chop up the workload earlier, or use samples more often. Still, while not strictly necessary, I regularly find I get stuff done quicker and with less effort thanks to it.

As others mention a lot of closed source tools offer local encryption, including Backblaze (although I believe they need your key in order to do restores, which might or might not defeat the purpose depending on your use case).
I find that some things do require a !g, but it's becoming increasingly rare in my daily life. It's often, as another commenter said, when researching something that uses terms from another, more popular thing that Google really shines. That said, I still use DDG for almost everything. :)
You can independently analyze the secondary information being provided. You can look for common denominators from multiple sources. You can look at trends of specific sources. You can also say "I don't know, so I won't let this idea effect decisions." Not every piece of information out there needs to be incorporated into your independent world view. This can of course lead to selection bias where your world view is shaped by only what you choose to look at. It's good to challenge your view, to consider the information and look into it even if you don't care about say Hunter Biden (I frankly don't, nor what Ivanka Trump may or may not be doing).

People need to realize you don't always have to come to a conclusion when you're presented with information, it's possible to just say here is some uncertain information and I will treat it as such.

Not exactly. Having integrity means being whole, united, and indivisible. That certainly can involve telling the truth, but it's much broader than that. Someone who leads a double life, even if they don't make any commitments about their private behavior and even if they don't lie about it, lacks integrity.

Integrity means the opposite of being two-faced.

In this case, OP's behavior lacked integrity, even though it was likely honest. Although he was at the Yang meeting as a representative of LinkExchange, he advocated in favor of Viaweb. The forcefulness with which he argued ("your guys are wrong") definitely crossed the line into advocacy, not just an off-hand honest opinion. This set up a conflict within himself (his feelings toward Viaweb vs. his own interests and duties to his partners) as well as a conflict within the LinkExchange team.

"the standards of integrity involves regarding internal consistency as a virtue, and suggests that parties holding within themselves apparently conflicting values should account for the discrepancy or alter their beliefs."

Sure, but the break isn't terribly big. Certainly not enough to justify giving away money. US corporations (especially big tech companies) often pay well under 20%. If they give $100 to the local children's hospital, they are down $80+.
I think it depends. I've driven stuff like larger box trucks or pulling a larger trailer (even a tiny house!) without any issue. I wouldn't want to drive them in a city though. That would be stressful.
