interviewing.io | San Francisco, CA | Fully Remote

interviewing.io is on a mission to fix hiring.

We’re already the go-to place for software engineers to prepare for interviews, and we’re on our way to becoming their go-to place for jobs as well. We have something like ⅓ of the Bay Area’s engineers in our ecosystem, an engineer signs up for interviewing.io every 8 minutes, and we’ve helped thousands of people land their dream jobs. 40% of those people have been from non-traditional backgrounds and have historically been passed over because of how they looked on paper -- many were rejected by literally the same company when they previously applied with a resume!

We're rethinking hiring from the ground up, automating away the cruft, and removing friction for the part that matters: smart people talking to each other about the actual work. We want to take hiring from the Kafkaesque shitstorm it is today and make it into a delightful process for rational humans. Come join us, and help make that world a reality.

Oh, and we’ve just raised our Series A.

>Are you suggesting that there are populated places that you can visit in real life where loudly shouting an arbitrary statement could not attract abuse?

I'm suggesting that if I were in a public place and had a person shouting obscenities at me everywhere I went... it's illegal harassment, and the person can be identified and prosecuted.

I've experienced both IRL and online harassment, and managed to stop IRL harassment through the legal system. I was only able to stop online harassment by hiding.

Musk may very well reject the data, but there are enough wealthy people & foundations (Gates etc.) and $6B small enough an amount that it wouldn't be hard to raise the money.

Heck, the UN WFP's own annual budget is about $9B. You'd think that amount of money would allow them to solve world hunger and still have $3B left over to respond to emergency situations etc.

WFP's accounting is usually highly suspect though. For example, a recent report on food waste reported about 900 million tons is wasted. But when you did into the details, they included inedible parts of food. That is a ridiculous methodology: I weighed a banana & its peel when I saw that, and it turns out that by that methodology banana peels alone would account for roughly 30 million tons of "waste". Add in orange peels and pineapple rinds and that's about another 20 million tons.

Maybe Musk wouldn't follow through, but a claim of $6B to solve a problem that has been intractable for decades seems like a ridiculous claim. If the WFP suddenly had a magic bullet solution like that, there would be plenty of people chipping in to help. Their lack of details on how they arrived at that number and how they would implement their plan if they had the money speaks for itself though.
Where are you studying Music Tech? What was your undergraduate background? I’m curious if you found a formal tech education is as important in what today is often more an applied art compared to when these tools were so expensive and esoteric.
This is exactly why all the hate HN has for the crypto world makes me shake my head. There are people actively working on developing alternatives (DeFi) that while today are not perfect, from a technological perspective generally have the right motivation and direction.

There is absolutely no reason that people should be storing their money in a place that gets to use it however they want and charge you for that too. Never mind the endless printing and excessive taxation. Bankers aren't driving Kia's, but everyone else is.

FlightAware | multiple roles | REMOTE (US timezones) | Houston / US | https://flightaware.com/about/careers/

Hey everyone, FlightAware is hiring for a number of positions, including interns, UX Lead, iOS, full stack web, SRE, and engineering manager. Our team is headquartered in Houston, Texas, but we work as a distributed team and accept remote applicants for work within the United States. FlightAware has built the world’s leading aviation software platform, processing over 180 million incoming messages an hour from over 30,000 feeds—over 150 gigabytes a day and growing—to provide the best, most complete, and most accurate real-time flight tracking services in the industry. We use Python, Rust, C++, Tcl, and JavaScript. We are proud to have built a wide variety of successful products on this foundation that have become central to the aviation industry at large.
This is the same bs we have to deal with in the US with financial credit and social security numbers. Because there’s no actual security, the individual must monitor their own credit for abuses, or prevent anyone from accessing it via a freeze.
I think the point stands. A 4-6 year old laptop today is significantly more powerful than a 4-6 year old laptop 15 years ago.
I listened to an interesting CPPCast episode where they interviewed someone from Intel's compiler team.

(I'm just guessing that a lot of the benefit here comes from building with Intel's compiler rather than GCC.)

It sounded like the bulk of the benefits they get are just from using profile-guided optimization to maximize the cache-friendliness of the code. I would guess those kinds of optimizations are readily portable to any CPU with a similar layout and cache sizes. I would not expect, though, that they are actively detrimental (compared to whatever the official sklearn builds are doing) on CPUs that have a different cache layout.

So you ended up with kind of like TCL's choices (`then`, `else`, `elseif` are optional; prefix expressions with `=` (`expr` in TCL's case, although it's implied in `if`, `while` conditionals) )
My view is that this is part of the single most important narrative that all news media ultimately contribute to: the story of the lead up to, causes of and justification for war.

We are a civilization based on sanctified violence: nowadays that sanctification comes from the news media.

Just to be clear: I am not blaming the media for war. I am also not definitively "anti-war" as I don't know precisely what that means.
I don't think the GP is asking whether it is possible to objectively assess the fairness of voting schemes. (Though of course that would be an interesting question)

He is implying that their testimony would most likely be very biased politically. I think that is probably true, and you can see that by skimming through their Twitter accounts [1][2][3].

However, this does not justify the university intimidating them with legally dubious means. [4]

Sometime mid-80s I recall a buddy shopping for engines for a project car of his (basically porn browsing). His budget for a 350cid chevy engine comparable to this would have bought 250HP to maybe 300HP, as I recall.

This probably can be expected to run for what, 3 or 4x the lifetime of a 1985 custom build? with service requirements of about 1/3rd the older unit?

in other words wow they're getting good at these. I didn't check the weight but isn't this near or into "aircraft capable" territory?

Federal Reserve Bank of New York | Senior Data Scientist | ONSITE+PART REMOTE | Full-Time

I'm one of 5 data scientists on the team and we're now ramping up with our first new hire being a senior data scientist to lead the team. We work with other areas of the bank on a variety of projects. A lot of our work involves NLP, Climate Change, and various time series problems. There's quite a bit of flexibility outside of those domains as well. Our team works primarily in Python, but our only real rule is to use the right tool for the job. R, Julia, Matlab, and Stata are used across the bank.

Some additional background that the job description may not provide (In no particular order):

- Employees are given huge amounts of flexibility and excellent work/life balance.

- The banks remote work policy is up to individual teams, but on our team the expectation is 1 or 2 days in the office per week. Otherwise, you just need to live close enough to the office to make it in those days. "Close enough" is defined by you. Have a week where you can't make it into the office? No worries.

- 401k (1% auto contribution + 6% match) and Pension(!) are fully vested after 5 years.

- Relocation benefits are available.

- Generous paid parental leave, regardless of gender.

- Kind, caring, and diverse team. Some really interesting and excellent people.

- Generous PTO and a culture that truly respects the use of that PTO.

- Our team has the best institutional knowledge for lunch locations near the office, with specific expertise in China Town.

- Full size private indoor basket ball/volleyball/soccer court on top of a castle looking building in Manhattan.

- Work on top of the largest gold vault in the world. (Tours are free, open to the public, and take ~45 min. Even if you're not interested in the role, I definitely recommend.)

If you're interested, feel free to email me or message me on LinkedIn with any questions and you can use my name in the job application as a referral. If you give me a heads up, I'll do my best to make sure HR doesn't accidentally screen you out. Contact info can be found in my HN profile.

Keep in mind the job description is pretty expansive. Please don't hesitate to apply even if you don't perfectly match the requirements.

This is a loaded question ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loaded_question ), since it implies that this question-asking is honest and straightforward.

My Interview with Byrne Hobart for the Browser
The 11.6 (I believe) release of MacOS X finally allowed native support for 5120 X 1440 (my display).

The thing that annoys me, is that I have a second display that I use, from time to time (when giving video classes, for instance), but it remains assigned to a different device, most times.

However, I can't leave it plugged in. If I do, the OS insists that I have a second screen, even though it is not actually connected to the Mac. This means that I can lose my cursor and the graphics processors are rendering undisplayed pixels.

I can use an app like SwitchResX[0], but I feel that I should not need it. The OS should detect more than just if an HDMI cable is plugged in. It needs to know whether or not the screen is actually "live," and rendering graphics.

> While your individual action may be of no consequence to Google, it still has a marginal impact.

If we round off and assume Google has 2 billion customers, then your marginal impact is 0.00000005%. That doesn't do anything at all.

> Google won't need to change their behavior until enough people leave

This is based on the assumption that the only action one can and should take against Google is an individual disconnection from their services. This is pointless compared to meaningful changes through systemic means. I know HN has a lot of libertarian/rationalist economist types, but that ideological approach has been shown time and again to accomplish nothing, to the point where brands actively encourage "vote with your wallet" boycotts from conservatives because they are actually extemely profitable (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06yy88tLWlg).

I'd also point out the libertarianism/rationalism is rooted in neoliberalism and the whole point of neoliberalism is to remove challenges to corporate power, so of course they would encourage actions that do nothing to really harm corporate power while feeling like you're doing something. It's the consumer activism equivalent of donating £5/month to charity to assuage your first-world guilt.
Point taken but ignorant first line.

I'd say this is the minority, for sure. You seem to think the other way around (everyone using a power delivery dock), but that's fine.
Nope. That's a CNN blunder that claimed that 2% of Elon Musk's wealth could solve world hunger.

Here's the link:

https://edition.cnn.com/2021/10/26/economy/musk-world-hunger...

I thought the headline was incredibly stupid at the time. They added a "correction" at the bottom of the page now:

>-- Correction: An earlier version of this story's headline incorrectly stated that the director of the UN's food scarcity organization believes 2% of Elon Musk's wealth could solve world hunger. He believes it could help solve world hunger.

Right.
Yeah, no thanks, I'm going to keep using `which`, and distributions are going to support it, no matter how "standard" `command -v` is. The only reason we're talking about this is that it's so noteworthy that any distro would seriously suggest people avoid `which`, which is the de facto standard.
You assume, incorrectly, that having money and other resources means you can snap your fingers and immediately hire the right person with the right skills to solve any arbitrary problem you might have.

The world just doesn't work that way. There's a shortage of talent out there, and they often don't want to work for the richest players.

What can someone actually say to you online to effectively intimidate you? I have had many people try in the last 20 years, but the basic problem is that they’re just an anonymous web surfer and so am I.

Also: what about boycotts? Is this speech not designed to intimidate an organization into doing the thing or not doing the thing the organizers of the boycott want them to do (or not to do). A lot of speech which is designed to intimidate is perfectly legal because intimidating others is a valid tactic within reason. That’s also subjective, but when you’re in a position of power over someone, you can intimidate the crap out of someone without coming close to say, death threats, rape threats or the threat of doing anything actually illegal.
