IMO You should really reconsider disabling execution and just tell the candidate that executable is not expected. Writing tests and executing them is an extremely important part of my programming flow, and when I am presented with a tool that I expect to be able to actively test with, if I am unable to do so... it's "fuck you Facebook"-level frustrating.

I guess it's yours hiring process, so whatever, but you could probably be filtering out people with very good and desirable programming habits.

I've also had some serious problems with (senior) coworkers who "assert their code works" when it's riddled with bugs or flat out doesn't work, so maybe it's my trauma refected here

> I hope I’m never asked to write executable code in it because as an editor, it’s terrible.

Well, I typically offer coderpad for anyone who would rather not share their screen.
> I cannot wrap my mind around why people would have a problem with the second statement.

When the problem is that the phone was borked to the point that X and Y were not possible, it's tonedeaf at the very least.
PFFFT! BAFIN... what did you expect from the country of CUM-EX?

Or, to go back to 2001, to the 'Frankfurter Steuerfahnder-Affäre', where people tried to do their job, and got mobbed, bullied, canceled and even psychiatrized for it!

But won after years of law-suits.

One requirement for such an injunction is the high likelihood of winning on the merits.
Pretty much this. It’s likely down to the lack of incentives for leaders and line workers. Ie: search spam volume isn’t a measure by which search team performance is graded
Highly recommend this book. The author did a project that tracks working mom's time spent for a week. Very interesting findings. Also a fun read.

>It's not clear where you'd just "find 10% more people"

Well, you just gave millions of low-income workers 10% less money and 10% more time, so my guess is that more people would be forced to get a second job.
Really? My Bitlocker setup requires me to enter in a password to unlock the drive.
I find it kind of weird. Didn't Wolfram get a doctorate at like age 19? And have a successful company pretty shortly afterwards? Why does he act so insecure and feel the need to brag about himself all the time...what could he possibly even be insecure about?
Our office shutdown doesn't use PTO, either.

My friends in agency life used to have their office shutdown from the time of the holiday party, until the new year. Which was about 2 to 2.5 weeks.
Or, provide a simple and clear way, to move all the user data to the card, first time it is inserted.
This is key. Recently I've become a bit obsessed with naming, and not just because naming needs to be consistent and coherent - how you name something in software dictates how you will think about it, what concepts you will relate to it, etc. The name of one component can affect your entire architecture. I'm not sure how to validate it, but I believe that naming choices are almost as important as application architecture because of their effects on your thought process.
> And I am just as productive as when I worked 5 days a week!

For 20% less compensation! I'd rather do the 4-10s for full pay, without the pressure to get 40 hours of work done in 32 hours.
I didn't say the courts couldn't interpret the constitution, but "living document" doesn't need to imply vague - RvW carved out a limited clarification without supplying a general rule of what is and isn't covered. The courts shouldn't have the power to totally skewer the constitution, ad-hoc.

> having even basic knowledge on this subject

That's your opinion. People debate in echo chambers all the time, if that's what you'd prefer.
As someone who knows a handful of devs and hear their near daily grievances of google, it seems like the culture over there has died and it’s just a bog standard Big Corp(tm) now.
By how they describe it, a lot of the people, (but not all of course), who deeply care about the ‘craft’ of development have retired or moved onto more interesting roles at newer and more exciting companies and were replaced by people whose main driving force is climbing the corporate ladder at a FAANG.
As a result the perf cycles/promotions seem to be heavily based on high impact projects/launches, leaving the “little things” like bad search results or other maintenance work forever on the back burner, because working on those things won’t get you a promotion/more money.

I remember YC's general rule of thumb. If your customers / users are consumers then you need .com.

Otherwise for SaaS for B2B it doesn't matter as much ( if at all ).
On a semi-related note:

Is there any chance in the future that browsers are going to support / implement lazy-loading of images themselves (i.e. based off what's visible in the viewport). Currently you have to (as far as I'm aware anyway, but I'm only just getting re-acquainted with web-dev) use JS to do it (things like LazySizes), which adds complexity, and is even more complicated if you want to combine that with responsive images...

Or am I missing something that's possible already?
Some people no doubt engage in victim blaming, but I don't think that's what's generally going on here. For instance, I don't think anyone would disagree that the individuals that made those photos public should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

The world contains bad actors, and we should be having conversations about what are the reasonable steps people should take to protect themselves. The fact that this happened, and that it could easily happen again, suggests that we should take additional care with sensitive data on our phones. Maybe an app for encrypting sensitive photos and that requires a password to access?

Yes, people should feel safe in their tech. People should also feel safe in their homes, but most everyone still have locks, and many people additional layers of security.
.org is controlled by a non-profit and I believe it has reasonable controls on price increases.

If you can't convince, compelling doesn't tend to work much better, unless you threaten something worse. Given that unvaxed people are worried the vaccine may kill them, threatening career change seems a bit pointless...it would be far better to listen to their concerns and talk to them, threats only confirm the conspiracies and force positions to become entrenched.
Even the IT guy at work was stymied, he was sure he'd be able to at least factory reset it and get it working again.... he gave up after a few hours.

If you have a young family, working a 4 day week would make all the difference. At the moment I work 5 days and then go into a weekend which can be just as tiring as a work day with kids to tend to. With an extra day, this would mostly be when the kids are at school, so it would be genuine time to myself.
Is there a name for this well-known effect? (seriously asking)

Totally agree. Unity is definitely in the best position to become the new Flash, but so far, they seem completely uninterested in investing in that future. I can't totally blame them, because the vast majority of their revenue comes from mobile and their services business.

Unity already has the bulk, but the security holes shouldn't be as big of an issue given that it's "just a website" and runs in the browser sandbox.
Realistically though nobody uses those, and every project like that such as BSD gets used as a base for proprietary software. Do they even support TRIM?
For being so progressive, I'm surprised that not a single listing I clicked had salary ranges.

It's just not worth the effort of even considering these companies without salary ranges. 4-day work weeks mean nothing if it means getting paid <80% market rate.
And how exactly would you represent these hypothetical stored towns?

Probably with a simple encoding.
Weird, I feel like I've searched for something like Fairphone many times and never found it. Thanks for the tip.
A large 3x phone in portrait orientation is still only 1-1.5K physical pixels wide.
What's the bridge for the input? I'm not 100% yet on what this is doing, conceptually I think I got it. Streaming a video broadcast of a browser. But I would think that you need like a websocket to send the mouse coordinates/click/typing over the actual browser. Is that an extension in the browser or is it literally a remote OS kind of deal eg. Teamviewer.
Maybe because thieves can't be assed to wipe the phone before putting on ebay?

I had an issue with my pixel and had to send it in. The phone got ran over by a car and was smashed. It could be turned on but I could not do a factory reset. I have financial and other private information on it. So the first thing I did was try to keep it on for days until the battery ran out to see if the hardware encryption would help secure the data. After that I still wasn't sure if the information was secure enough so I took a drill through it to destroy as many of the ICs that I could. My wife then pointed out that maybe this self destruction that I did would violate some terms and void the insurance even though the phone was useless after being run over by the car. So, in the end, I decided to just buy a new phone without doing a trade in or insurance claim. The $500 or so was worth not risking PI.
I imagine a lot of people sharing nude photos don't especially mind if they become public (I personally don't, I've had many partners who don't fear this). So they aren't "dumb" for taking a risk they are comfortable with. Nor are they dumb to expect the criminals to pay if they do become a victim. Both things can be true without anyone needing to be "dumb" as you seem so desperate to assume.
Interesting.

That is exactly what scares me most.

This isn’t interview performance, it’s a rescinded employment offer.

Maybe I’m old fashioned, but I think that warrants an explanation to the theoretical offense. Or if there are legal ramifications, maybe rescinding the offer based on a tweet shouldn’t haven’t happened in the first place?
How do you build your skills, if you're spending 40+ hours a week working to make ends meet and trying to care for a family?

You're arguing from an ideal situation, without taking into account that reality's average is very much less than ideal.
I don't have a problem with no minimum wage, but I do have a problem with people starving and homeless. So I'm willing to give up on the minimum wage for any viable alternative. For example, UBI paid for by taxes on employers.
There's a subset of people who get angry at any implication that people have agency they can use to make decisions to make their life less risky in these sorts of contexts. Fine, whatever, they're entitled to their world view.

What boggles the mind is the overlap this group appears to more or less be a subset of people who are up in arms anytime someone doesn't take steps to de-risk their life in any other context (like using an older car seat for your kid or not putting GFCI breakers into everything under the sun).
Yes, but afaik, the experience of building for the browser as a runtime target for games in Godot is still not much better than Unity, just less bloated. I for one would love it if Godot made web a first-class focus, but it doesn't seem like they are yet.

The answer to that is to make the decision for yourself and then move to an appropriate area of the world where the policies match your decision.

Some areas will stick to this for a very long time because it's now part of an identity for many people.

I work at LM and most of my colleagues here do the 4x10. I opted for a traditional 5x8 because I have young children at home and found that being gone for 10.5-11 hrs means I don't see them during their waking hours. If I could afford it, I would choose 4x8 and take the 20% paycut.
> I don't understand how people hold your view.

The usual argument for this is that while there is some efficiency gained in trying for a pure labor market here, the externalities can be brutal. So the reason that the government gets involved in the lower end is that typically they are the ones that have to deal with the fallout when things aren't working well. There are other approaches, but for whatever reasons many places find min wage more politically acceptable/expedient.

This is interesting! My involvement in background screening began and ended before this law was enacted. The CA law is probably good at preventing outright, unfair elimination of candidates because of criminal history.

I think one key thing in that California law is the notion of the “conditional job offer.” This law doesn’t effect the dynamics of the offer letters we were discussing at all. If you make an offer and there are still conditions pending, you’re obligated to let the candidate know. I cannot imagine CA is doing that differently.

I get your point, though, that doing the criminal portion of the background check after extending the offer is now not just normal, but mandatory, in CA.
I am all for unions as long as they aren't mandated.

In some areas an Amazon warehouse job is an exceptionally good job. I grew up in a place where one of the best job you could get was working at a Walmart distribution center. Basically like an Amazon warehouse but the whole this is a freezer.

Also the government can't and shouldn't try to govern bad choices away from people. This would lead to a very authoritarian society.

Typing is a great addition to Python, but despite all the effort, it's still a band-aid. It doesn't ultimately solve the issue with checking single return values and/or exceptions.

I'm in awe every time I see how elegant this is in Erlang/Elixir:

case HTTPoison.get(url) do
{:ok, %HTTPoison.Response{body: body, status_code: 200}} ->
IO.puts body
{:error, %HTTPoison.Error{reason: reason}} ->
IO.inspect reason
end

Pattern matching on return tuples is really amazing.

For me at least, it doesn't feel like pressure to get more done in less time - it's more like I'm a bit more focussed (e.g. less time on HN!), don't over-think things as much, and am more adamant about not attending meetings I don't need to be in.
You have a fixed 3D grid, which appears to only need to store either a color or 'null' in every spot. You can encode this entire grid in any number of ways such that it creates a valid URL. Base64 most likely.

Ask HN: How Do You Deal with Perfectionism in Coding?
I have reached a point where the perfectionism is hindering my ability to finish projects on time, learn new materials / technologies, and enjoy programming in general.

A good example is the recent release of Advent of Code, I decided to take up the challenge, I spent way too much time trying to figure out idiomatic / pythonic ways to solve a for loop / opening a file for example, whereas I could of easily spent solving the problem itself.

Most of the time when I don't reach a perfect solution I just leave working on the project altogether.

Am I the only one dealing with this? Do you have any recommendations to overcome such a bad habit?

P.S: I am not medically diagnosed as a person with OCD, IRL I am a simple messy guy, this habit just exists in coding.
That is my point. Nothing special about people using insulting language.

Only some groups, here including some Caltech students, then claim that it somehow shows how great, intelligent and secure in their intelligence they are. You really need to be full of yourself to conclude that saying "stupid" is somehow consequence of unique greatness.

On the absolute margins, of people already working 2 jobs-- sure, this policy is likely to mostly cause a reallocation in hours between employers at first.

* Some other people will be content working less.

* Other people who already get overtime every week will be getting more overtime.

* Exempt employees are likely to slowly evolve to working less as the 36 hour workweek becomes the norm.

* Employers faced with paying more overtime or getting less hours will need to pay more and work harder to train up lower skilled workers to fill positions.

And in the end, everyone shifts up a bit from this reallocation.
