Sure! We only have the candidate's perspective, but it appears that the candidate:

1) felt that the tone of the interviewer was negative

2) was in the middle of writing their solution

3) did not actively ask for feedback on syntax

Point #1 is subjective, but an interviewer should err on the side of caution when making curt remarks like this. Taken together, points #2 and #3 are important too: as an interviewer, you should know when (or even whether or not) to provide feedback.

As for why I believe the comment above phrased it better:

1) the interviewer is clearly acknowledging that it can be challenging to use a different language in an interview

2) the interviewer is clearly stating that the syntax mistakes being made are minor and nothing to worry about

Personally, I would still avoid making this kind of comment unless prompted by the candidate - e.g., in reply to "I think I might be making a few mistakes with syntax here". I would also avoid providing any feedback.

I also agree that an interview is not purely technical: there are other _passive_ signals you can use to build a better picture. I don't see how you would be able to judge sense of humor reliably in an interview setting, though.

I had followed the case since the beginning. Having watched the videos, it was plainly obvious that in each case, Rittenhouse was acting in self-defense. (Intriguingly, many pro-Rittenhouse voices were arguing that he was guilty of the gun charge, though some were a bit more eagle-eyed and read the statute the way the judge ultimately did when he dismissed it.)

The interesting thing about Rittenhouse is that even despite the NYT telling the truth through their video analysis, the rest of the press and tech monopolies ratcheted the story in one direction: that Rittenhouse was a "mass shooter" who was carrying out a white supremacist terrorist attack.

During the trial, my overlapping bubbles either had seen the videos and/or watched the trial and believed him innocent, or had only read the media reports, and believed him guilty.

Given the weird nature of this case, and how only one viewpoint about it was allowed on social media, I wonder if that constitutes defamation on the part of the social media companies, since they were in practice making an editorial decision that he was bad.

That said, I doubt any courts would ever actually find that section 230 does not shield tech monopolies when they do this, but I am curious.
I hadn’t heard of this policy. It makes sense to me how people were so uninformed about what happened that night if Facebook was banning videos supporting Kyle and most of the media wasn’t being impartial. Anyone who spent time watching the videos wouldn’t be surprised by the verdict.
Ah that's cool :D Me all I could say was "but I spent years deploying in aws when you chose another one when everyone told you not to and nobody s using it because nobody needs it, not because we're not certified". I was met with "you need to get the cert by end of the year", which I got the next week, my eyes rolled the entire time. At least I got to impress people... like I say my colleagues all the time, the best bosses are those who care about useless metrics because they're easy to meet and you dont have to actually deliver anything of value to get praise and raise...

What you describe reminds me a bit of myself. Is it a psychological thing? I used to be hungry all day. I would have breakfast, morning tea, lunch, an afternoon snack, dinner, and a night snack. Even stuffing myself didn't help. I would get irritated easily when I was hungry and not have a lot of patience. And being too hungry kept me from sleeping at night.

Keto helped a lot with not feeling hungry and the weight but it was too much effort to sustain.

With the weight just spiraling up and myself starting to feel a bit disgusted with myself I decided to try and stick to 3 meals a day and portion control my meals. I have been doing that for about 6 months now and it has helped tons with losing weight. Yes, I'm still hungry most of the day. I look forward to breakfast after having had dinner. I look forward to lunch from 10am. But, the irritation and restlessness coming with being hungry has faded into the background somewhat. Somehow telling myself "tough luck, you are not getting any more food until tomorrow" and sticking with it has really changed how I perceive it. It affects me a lot less and it doesn't stop me from being able to sleep anymore for example. Whereas before it defined me in some way, I couldn't function when I was too hungry. And I still eat shitty fatass meals, but it has become a once or twice a week on the weekend thing.

Just some food for thought. Hah.
And thank God for it. Entitled people harassing retail workers deserve our hate. Idiots who endanger those around them by ridiculing anti-pandemic measures deserve our hate. You act like hate is a bad thing where criminals and plague-spreaders are the targets.

OpenSSL's use of uninitialized memory to seed entropy was always a terrible idea. The PRNG was fundamentally flawed to begin with.

> Really, it kind of proved the opposite.

Not really. Exploited bugs in cryptographic protocols are extremely rare. Exploited memory safety bugs are extremely common.

> Valgrind and other tools can tell you about memory safety bugs.

Not really.

> Understanding that the fix would result in a crypto bug was harder.

Like I said, OpenSSL's PRNG was brutally flawed already and could have been broken on a ton of machines already without anyone knowing it. A compiler update, an OS update, or just unluckiness could have just as easily broken the PRNG.

Building memory unsafety into the prng was the issue.

Memory safety issues are exploited orders of magnitude more often than crypto bugs.

edit: Also, memory safety bugs typically have higher impact than crypto bugs. An attacker who can read arbitrary memory of a service doesn't need a crypto bug, they can just extract the private key, or take over the system.

Crypto bugs are bad. Memory safety bugs are way, way worse.
Sure, still a lot of things Jack does doesn't make sense. Michael Saylor did the pure Bitcoin play, he gets it much more: make the company buy as much Bitcoin in the treasury as possible, and get into low interest rate debt that is not marked to market value.

While Jack Dorsey is just talking about helping poor countries, Jack Mallers went there to launch the product, and has a great vision about using the lightning network to compete with VISA / Mastercard.

I believe he is being pushed into politics as some sort of right-wing firebrand.

On the surface Facebook may appear to censor the politics of the story probably to please their advertisers, but in reality it is their business to have people riled up and arguing against each other.

So Kyle Rittenhouse is going to get plenty of attention going forward.
This comes to personal preferences, I generally prefer reference books vs educational books. Find a good fit between what you’re working on and what the book is trying to do and they can be extremely helpful

Best example that comes to mind is the first edition of SQl in a nutshell. It was thin reference that covered SQL and the major differences between different SQL databases that I picked up back in 2002 ish. Quite useful if your working with several at the same time, but not something to teach you SQL. I haven’t looked at a recent edition because I am not in that situation any more, but I presume it’s still useful for that purpose.

Granted most books are significantly more verbose, but the physical limitations of books can promote extremely precise writing with minimal extraneous information.
These comments are off topic and HN users will consider them spamming, so please don't post them.
If anything, a good book (or video course) will be a high-density, concentrated pill of everything you need to know about the subject to know what everything is and how it interacts. By comparison, reading blog posts and random YouTube videos is more akin to "grazing" - sure you can learn, but not as fast and you'll be missing context until the lightbulb goes off.

Because different people have different marginal utilities of money. It's not implausible that there is someone (or a group of people) out there who is interested in seeing the Collatz conjecture proven, who places less value on the $100k than koheripbal does.

It's my experience that this is often the case. I don't like high-theory books, so that means that things like the dragon book aren't likely to be in my sample.
Ha ha, Luddite here, I wish we had declared the phone done back with flip phones. And personal websites were better before Geocities (you know, when they were hand-rolled).

But I get what you're saying. I just wonder though why so many people tolerate crap — simply because it's all there is right now.

Cable TV with all its commercials was crap, so I nixed it over 20 years ago. I didn't tolerate it until something better came along, I just did without it.
Oddly enough this is the first time I agree with PG.
I joined Stripe in July. I'm new and at a lower level so I have not been tasked with giving interviews, but my peers are definitely swamped with interviewing on top of all the other crunched timelines and pressure you'd expect at a fast growing org. I suspect the hiring pressure put on ICs had led to a brittle system which causes these mishaps.
Imagine you were wrongfully accused of a heinous crime, and were being dragged through the mud in the court of the press. You may have an option to present your side of the story, one which is highly persuasive. Yet this is actively suppressed on the town square of today, Facebook and Twitter. You aren't even allowed to raise funds on platforms like GoFundMe.

As a result, the general public's first impression of your story is never challenged, and it becomes accepted as truth, despite being blatantly false.

Does Facebook have no obligation, even if only a moral one, to let you at least defend your own reputation when it allows literal defamation about you to be published unmolested?
Even though Congress already wrote a law that gave the agencies authority to do unprecedented actions?

What I'm not seeing is engagement with the actual text of the statutes that Congress already wrote and put on the books. For instance, the OSHA Act specifically gave OSHA power to regulate "new hazards".

https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/USCODE-2019-title29/html... "1) The Secretary shall provide, without regard to the requirements of chapter 5 of title 5, for an emergency temporary standard to take immediate effect upon publication in the Federal Register if he determines (A) that employees are exposed to grave danger from exposure to substances or agents determined to be toxic or physically harmful or from new hazards, and (B) that such emergency standard is necessary to protect employees from such danger."

Similarly the Social Security act already gave broad power to issue regulations. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/42/1395hh# "such regulations as may be necessary to carry out the administration of the insurance programs under this subchapter" "No rule, requirement, or other statement of policy (other than a national coverage determination) that establishes or changes a substantive legal standard governing the scope of benefits, the payment for services, or the eligibility of individuals, entities, or organizations to furnish or receive services or benefits under this subchapter shall take effect unless it is promulgated by the Secretary by regulation under paragraph (1)."

the Act clearly envisions the secretary having authority to change standards for benefits, payment for services, and eligibility. There's no limitation saying that eligibility criteria can be based on other safety measures, but not vaccines.

EDIT: and SCOTUS precedent interpreting this language in the past was clear about the scope of authority it gave. See page 34 of the PDF here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dGiMcVAxfziaoecQtd40-nERZr_...
This is why I choose to be a contractor and an engineer. If I work, I bill. I never understood how anyone in good conscience can work 15hrs while the others at the company work 40hrs and still collect full-time benefits. As an engineer I have never had that luxury though, somehow we are always busy and I have to make an effort to reduce my billable hours without needing to pad them. I am probably also culturally biased from working class roots that overpraises hours worked and that mindset is admittedly self-defeating.

Preparing/eating a meal during a meeting is admittedly perk but it doesn't affect my focus or participation.
Ah, the old “sea ice extent” bullshit promoted by deniers.

Extent means sweet FA: *volume* is what counts. And in volume, the ice caps have a fraction of their old volume. Here is the trend line, and it shows that Arctic ice is absolutely FUBAR.

I don't understand why he isn't wearing eye protection during the whole experiment. Made me incredibly nervous. Obviously won't protect you from a direct hit of the main projectile, but there are so many things that can go wrong unpredictably, your eyes are the squishiest part, and protection is easily available and not too annoying.

Thank you for asking. The valuable feedback from the community was deeply fulfilling.

I didn't have the time to maintain the project, so I needed to shut it down.

I want to bring it back.
That phrase has a very specific meaning rooted in racism; I would not advise using it to describe any other situation that you don’t want to bring that context into. If only to avoid misunderstandings.
I also clicked through to read the original, had a different interpretation of the use of that rule. It seems to me directed at focusing attention on competition within a social class rather than outside it.

These stories are about members of the same group competing, not about in vs out-group competition.

i.e. imagine a school mystery: "the case of the stolen grade book" with culprit "random stranger who walked onto school grounds". The forbiddenness of such a solution is not racism/classism/ageism, but just that they're not part of the same social milieu of students, teachers, and parents. Them showing up makes all the fraught student<=>student, student<=>teacher interactions meaningless. Such a culprit's has different freedoms, social restrictions, and resources are different than the characters. If the culprit were another teacher with freedom to move, you get interesting contrast to students lack of mobility (needing hall passes to do their investigations). The mechanics of the story with an in-group culprit force readers to think about the social relations gaps they personally see in their own lives.

The political implications of this are inconclusive to me - it avoids "othering" traditionally outside groups (to the authors of these books) and portraying them as criminals - but it does this by ignoring their participation in society and making them vanish.

Culprit selection is difficult; compare Colombo, who has similar rules: "the culprit is nearly always from the upper class" - is this a racist/classist policy or not?
Precisely. For me, the value in paying for a course or a book is not that they produce this knowledge, but that they collate it, filter through subject matter experience they already have to remove misleading additions, and add in any missing parts that may take a long time to grasp without a "Eureka!"-inducing explanation.
Yes, thank you.

I would not have guessed that from Twisty the bendy metal cube.
I’m really susprised if they didn’t watch the videos and read about the case. Most people watch video now so is it possible they avoided all videos or they just didn’t believe the videos? Nobody I know didn’t watch the videos.
Yes, that's the circa 2005 version of what we have today.

If you at least tried you could still get an offer however, unlike today, where the answer must be approaching perfection and timely. Because they are a lot more interested in exposing impostors both real and imagined than hiring.
> We have vastly higher crime rates than other developed nations because our "justice" system is so extreme. The system is more effective at destroying lives than at preventing crime. If one carefully considers that proposition, it will be apparent that many of those destroyed lives are actually innocent of the "crimes" of which they have been convicted.

This is actually an extraordinary claim that requires evidence. It can’t be stated as flatly true. But I have no problem acknowledging that our system is particularly cruel. Prisons should be safe, clean, humane, comfortable...but not empty. The reality is that there’s a lot of violence in this country and its causes are complex and inscrutable. “We have a lot of crime because we lock so many people up” is unconvincing.
is there case law that shows defamation for omitting facts? It sounds like such a precedent could make anyone guilty of defamation if they only cover news when it’s first announced and not when more info comes out about the news.
Oh no! But... but... growth!

Maybe people are wising up and starting to realize that buying more stuff they don't need isn't what life should be about.

> Maybe legitimising Bitcoin was hijacked by cryptobros later on to push their own narrative, but the people who originally got into Bitcoin simply wanted to be an accepted currency for goods and services, nothing more and nothing less.

I mean the "pay for starbucks using bitcoin" ship sailed, what, 10 years ago? Bitcoin is absolutely nothing more than a giant pump & dump scam. Of course pedants will say "technically it isn't a pump & dump" just like "technically it isn't a pyramid scheme"... Bitcoin might not meet the technical definition of any of those... but it is a scam none the less.
A very curious part of this is the president of the US calling him a white supremacist before the verdict is reached and the press secretary defending that portrayal [he shot three white guys]. A president who promised to 'bring normality back to the whitehouse'. That cavalier attitude toward justice creates unnecessary tensions in the community ['if the president says so, it must be true, and if the accused is acquitted then justice is broken and we can take it into our hands']

Depends on the site and content, for sure. This particular site is aggregating a subset of public profiles and posts from a social media network. To compare, the site I'm pulling the data from uses nearly 20MB to display a single uncached page of post titles and 2MB per subsequent page, while my site is able to display the entire userbase for a cost of 250kb and a single request for a ~5kb image on subsequent pages. The only difference is the choice of frameworks and component construction.
The rule "no racial stereotypes" was, in the original

> No Chinaman must figure in the story. (The "No Chinaman rule" was a reaction to, and criticism of, racial cliches prevalent in 1920s English writing. Knox explained, "I see no reason in the nature of things why a Chinaman should spoil a detective story. But as a matter of fact, if you are turning over the pages of an unknown romance in a bookstore, and come across some mention of the narrow, slit-like eyes of Chin Loo, avoid that story; it is bad.")

So using the basic definition of quantum computing being "a device which can compute all permutations at once", in theory yes it is a 0x73 0x68 0x69 0x74 0x20 0x73 0x74 0x6f 0x72 0x6d but thats because these algo's do not encompass time and a place.

Build time into an algo and then you need a quantum computer which can also roll back or forward time.

You see the problem is, how do you build time into an algorithm like a particle decay? And if you could, could you then make it like a time delayed bank vault which only opens for certain windows during the course of the particle decay?

I also wonder if a place, some co-ordinates could also be built into an algo if that is even possible. There are medieval examples, namely trusted couriers but then you are not looking so much at an algo but more a self contained device to defeat quantum computing.

Anyway for now, you've got the NSA data centre at Bluffdale Utah which can sort of replicate quantum computing by running multiple instances with each using one pwd from all the possible pwd combination to look for the magic bytes in a file https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_file_signatures in order to decrypt files. A variation of that Could be used for replay attacks on network communication.

At least thats how I would do it quickly and easily.

Reddit started doing this too over the summer - aggressively showing me content from other subreddits in my feed taking any interaction with the posts as proof that I should join them as well. I find it annoying too since curating a list of my favorite subreddits was always a fundamental part of using the site.
