Unfortunately, in a job interview it is very likely that the person being rude is doing that in order to test how you respond. I've witnessed it during a group interview and I lost all respect for the interviewer, who was a group manager, especially after they explained in the review meeting why they did it.

Personally I think it is a lame tactic and that there are better ways to learn how a person adapts to a confusing social interaction.
I've been through a civil war in a developed country with modern industrialized military. It's just a curse.

Maybe. Wikipedia has a lot more to say https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_flash_crash. More than a few folks quoted there seem to say that while this is what the final SEC report said, it's basically ludicrous to blame an individual and doesn't match the data very well.

It's a cycle, like anything else. Tech was largely spared during the last recession. Who knows what's going to happen during the next?
> And it does seem there could be a fix here; you already have to give applications permission to access your mic and camera, and it seems there should be some way for an app to disable the orange dot once its permissions are elevated with opt-in by the user.

The obvious caveat is that a hacker w/ local access can do that themselves to hide their system foothold, which is just par-for-the-course when it comes to physically compromised machines... except I'm willing to bet they're more concerned with "jealous ex" than they are with professional hackers.

Apple is trying to add features to protect against the unprotectable instead of just acknowledging that at some point local access means game over; the only way to do that is to make it virtually unbearable to use the OS as a regular user (see UAC in Windows Vista).
In Silicon Valley speak: RAaaS - Risk Aversion as a Service. Most retail runs on pretty thin margins so simultaneous robberies means a low quarter which means someone's head on a platter at corporate. It's a wash on the day to day, and the insurance comes out ahead on a big robbery because of the premiums, but the corporate keeps it's numbers versus the previous year.

It's mainly an accounting hack with little value to negative value for the company as a whole after your company reaches a certain size, I agree. There is the classic idea insurance idea that because retail runs on thin margins, keeping the money flowing is important so the whole house of cards doesn't fall down from a huge decrease at an inopportune time, but the relationship stays around way longer than is necessary because of the social organizational effects above, IMO.
I think the idea that we are in a unique time of civil strife is a myth.

From the actual Civil War, to the militant labor movement, to the first red scare, to McCarthyism and the Civil Rights Movement, to the anti-Vietnam war movement, American civil life has been defined by conflict.

Maybe social media allows conflict to be persistently on the top of people's minds. While in previous years one may have enjoyed the privilege of conflict not following you home, following you on vacation, and following you to the toilet.

The barricades aren't in the street, they're in your Facebook groups or Twitter threads, and they need to be persistently manned in order to ensure territory isn't lost to the other side.
From the link:

"AppCenter continues to fill out with apps from developers—and since the move to Flatpak, all apps that have been released for OS 6 will continue to be available on OS 6.1 and beyond!"
This. Possibly my best computer "upgrade" was switching to Dvorak at 16 years old. Took about 2 weeks. It makes all keyboards much more comfortable, especially laptops. I would recommend Dvorak first, before starting down the path towards an ergonomic keyboard.

On Dvorak, your fingers automatically drift back to the home row because of how the letters are arranged, so I found myself touch-typing after several months with no specific effort. Plus, iOS only has QWERTY, so the phone keyboard keeps me in practice enough to use QWERTY on off occasions.

Dvorak plus the Kinesis Advantage, for me at least, is the most comfortable combination. Speed is probably a bit slower than a flat keyboard, but it's about long-term comfort, not speed, when I type as much as I have to every day.
Looks like the candidate dodged a bullet.
If the client is paying millions of dollars, then the production should be using dedicated hardware I/O. You saying "the OS generally will not show you things" admits that it can and sometimes does show those things and those would absolutely not be acceptable in a million dollar production gig. That's why we use dedicated hardware.
Security Features aren't useful if they can't be disabled for legitimate purposes. Instead they turn into Windows UAC prompts.
> Based on what I read, I could not recommend this. You could get to the end of the 'income statement' part, without encountering any definition of 'profit', which is the very thing that the income statement is meant to show.

The thing is, that while cash is a matter of fact, profit is a question of opinion. This is a fundamental truism in accounting. You cannot really teach how accounting allows you to express your opinion until you first understand which facts you have to work with.

+1 good advice.

You need to trust without any reservations that therapy or counseling is going to help.

You might not gel well with a specific therapist, and there is a choice to get a different therapist or therapy until one works for you.

Also, this takes time
No worries. Tough times don't last, tough people do.

Just think how the US workforce would look if people could do what they love, versus working only because of the benefits.
I really dislike the trend where reporters invent narratives in a headline and then throw out some BS statistics in the story that readers will inevitably skim and then walk away thinking they were "informed" by.. Take the following statement:

> If organized retail thieves steal $70 billion annually, and California accounts for 10% of the U.S., California’s losses add up to $7 billion, meaning the Bay Area “is likely in the billions itself.”

CA being 10% of the population does not mean you can take a national $ of retail theft and divide it by 10. Yet, the author tries to conflate this multiple times in the article and then comes up with a non-sensical conclusion in the last paragraph. There are so many leaps of logic that it made my head hurt.
>This has happened a variety of times and reaching out usually gets a non response

Name & shame
One of the things I’ve written in my book on coding interviews is around expectations and covering off any shortcuts/interview specific things you are doing. It’s annoying but asking:
1. Is there a specific approach or methodology you would like me to take in this test?
2. Saying stuff like “I’m going to do this in functional/OOP”, “I’ll use print for debugging”, “I won’t be using a testing library” etc with a quick explanation goes along way to ironing out these differences
I’m disappointed that ReactOS seems to have adopted the flat UI design now.
Limited? The Atari 2600 had 128 bytes of RAM.
Which in turn, were inspired by the government murdering citizens in the street. My description or your description or the parent's description may all be oversimplifications/biased/provocatively worded, and, while focusing on whether or not these events were each "justified" and to what degree is a fine exercise, it is also counter-productive to the conversation of coming to terms and meeting at the bargaining table, as you say.
> Ideally? Not to assume my resume/education experience is a lie and to instead assume that I've done enough technical work by this point to merit respect that I don't need to prove some "technical merit"

Unfortunately, I have interviewed many candidates who have excellent resume, relevant experience, but who can't write basic string manipulation code which does not even require any advanced algorithms or data structures.
care to explain more? "because my preferred choice of suoernstjentity says so" hasn't held up well as a scientific argument
> literally tried to stage a coup

They did indeed! However, the results were mostly just pathetic. The unfortunate thing is that the President himself tried to play along with it, and best chance for significant escalation would be if the President manages to be re-elected in three years' time — which is not the most likely outcome but is still actually distressingly credible — and does more to lay the groundwork during his term in office.
Maybe they’re running their DNS server on a solar-powered Arduino.
airplanes haven't changed much because safety is paramount and every crash is big PR fiasco so planes have not changed much because the industry is heavily regulated and there are duopoly players in the commercial space (Boeing/Airbus).
But I concur with some of your thesis...
Yes, Spain would protest if you said Catalunya is a country, but you likely wouldn't be forced to make a public apology to protect your business in Spain.

They can absolutely abolish the filibuster or make exceptions for it. Stop parroting the party line excuses and learned helplessness. The fillibuster is a Senate rule not a constitutional one.
Call me cynical, but if you were a serious analyst who actually believed there was a reasonable chance of a civil war, your most responsible and effective move would not be to write a book and promote it. Not even in 1982, but certainly not in 2022. On the other hand, if you wanted to sell books, a good way to do it would be to tap into the current political tension by making a massive, attention-grabbing claim that can't be disproved for several years. Now, that would be hugely irresponsible, but I bet somebody out there would do it.
Hum... What goes or doesn't go into a full screen app should be controlled by the user at the OS, with no involvement of the app.

That still doesn't change the fact that the point in making an app full screen is to give it control of the entire screen (or an entire virtual one of your choosing).
This is what I'm talking about: things will continue to get worse until we drop the "my side is blameless while the other side is literally <your choice of Stalin or Hitler>" charade. What happened was terrible, but months earlier demonstrators tried to force entry into the White House so they could execute a sitting president.
That can be difficult.

When I worked in an industrial office park, I could go out to my car to do a phone interview. When I was working downtown, where I didn't drive to work, there was pretty much nowhere to go that wouldn't involve some kind of background noise.
I assume they mean in an apples-to-apples comparison, not tent-city in SF vs mansion in Warsaw
I don't think this article is going to lead to _any_ productive discussion here. That may just further support the articles case but yeah, I don't think the HN crew is going to solve this one.

@vanusa may I ask why you felt this was a good idea to post? All we do is fight on the internet and it leads to very few productive conversations and may even be causing more friction between us.

56% of GDP amounts to around 20k euro per person and year

Would you rather get the public health and education, or keep the 20k euro and find a solution for yourself?

I reckon that my health expenditures are 1000 per year, and I am self-taught, so I don't need the government for anything.

What we need is to make the public services Opt-in/Opt-out, so people who find it competitive like yourself can keep enjoying it.
If by "attempted a coup" you mean "walked calmly into an otherwise empty building after police let them in", then yes. The whole thing is a joke once you dig into it, all propaganda to try and make people scared of each other. We even had elected leadership lying about being on premises when it happened (Cortez).

"United we stand, divided we fall", and the goal of most media rhetoric is to divide. Don't trust the "it was a coup" rhetoric. Dig in, take a look at the footage of what happened at the capitol. Don't take the media's word for it.
> shoes that tell you: stop landing on your heels so hard.

This might happen quite quickly. Thing is how you walk and how much you abuse your legs can be a major source of problems like shot knees in the long run. And these things creep, they don't just happen quickly so you can't remedy it so fast.
there’s quite a few people here replying to you letting you know how there are indeed situations where A/V professionals have and are continuing to use built-in I/O. I have seen the same. A properly prepared machine is immune to the issues I’ve heard you describe in this thread (notifications, etc).

It sounds like there’s something about all of these responses that isn’t resonating with you because I see a pattern of responding and letting us know our experiences are essentially invalid, for some reason. Are you able to speak to why that’s important to you? Why does this seem so far-fetched / unbelievable to you?

I don’t know why this distro even exists, Fedora and vanilla GNOME does everything this does but better. I feel the same way about Ubuntu by the way. The theme and tweaks that are added on top of vanilla GNOME in both cases only makes it worse.
So the US should have no defensive doctrine at all because we have so many spoils of war?

Whatever country you are in would do the same if it could.
And everyone new has to run to the lifers...which means that the new people never learn deeply...and always have to run back to the lifer.

It takes a loooong time to learn a system when you have this dynamic.
Sure, but people understand negative numbers. The pony is that if my profit margins are slim, then a smallish loss in theft can be a big deal. Comparing theft loss to gross sales just obscures the reality.
It was photo bombing
That’s one of the best ideas I’ve heard in a while.

You sort of have to lay the can sideways on a belt and it spins it around before scanning the barcode, then it carries it to the appropriate bin internally (where it gets crushed). In my opinion it’s a waste of time, the machines are sticky and smelly and I feel sorry for the staff who have to go and un-jam them regularly, but on the upside you won’t see any littering around the place (well, in summer you will - it’s socially acceptable just to toss them on the ground but someone will be along to pick it up within minutes)
The argument for a civil war is an insurrection where 80% stood around then left after an hour? The people who stole stuff, broke stuff assaulted police absolutely deserve prosecution(I’m not some Jan 6 truther). Absurd to think civil war is likely because a bunch of uncoordinated idiots followed the crowd.
> Though if PipeWire had been introduced before PulseAudio occurred, it would have no doubt gone through the hate phase.

PulseAudio's hate phase was caused by it breaking everything. If PipeWire had been introduced and worked, out of the box, correctly, then I doubt that it would have been poorly received.
no/low code tools that are accessible/useable by the masses.
I find what you have said harder to follow than just knowing debits are positive and credits are negative.

The A=L+OE formula is a poor model for understanding accounting when the accounts dont fall neatly into those 5 high level categories. And unfortunately you almost immediately encounter accounts of that nature (accumulated depreciation and loans are great examples).
> All we do is fight on the internet and it leads to very few productive conversations and may even be causing more friction between us.

Then why are you here?
"Traditional corporate employment is rapidly becoming outdated as a means for coordinating activity in the Information Age — we already see this in the emergence of alternative forms of earning such as influencers, contractors, creators, gig economy participants, and more."

Aren't influencers, contractors, creators, and gig economy participants paid by large corporations?

How many of these types of workers being paid by DAOs?
Saying that the interview is more of an ‘informal conversation’ then quickfiring 30 questions in an hour while not looking at the screen.
I had a recruiter suggest I do TDD during my coding interviews. When I was in the interviews, I started using TDD. It seemed like the actual interviewer was indifferent about me using TDD. He even seemed surprised, but I did it anyway because the recruiter suggested it.

Using TDD takes longer during an interview, so I didn't get as far into the problem as what I think the interviewer was expecting. I assume people that didn't use TDD performed better because they were able to get farther in the problem.

I didn't get an offer. I'm not sure if it's because of the TDD issue, but I can't think of anything else that could have contributed to the outcome. I sent my feedback to the recruiter after I was notified I didn't get an offer, and I asked for any feedback, but never heard anything.
True, but i meant a country modern and industrialised on the level of the US or Western Europe. Drones, nuclear weapons, everything digital and stuff more so than MiGs and submarines ( the latter are of somewhat limited use in a civil war, bar denying the other part supplies from overseas)
I see it as an accurate description of the state-of-affairs of the US generally, whether in pandemic times or not.
Odd, I've always considered Costco to have one of the best shopping experiences. Stuff on the shelves, I go find what I want and check out.

I generally hate supermarkets and malls. Annoying music, questionable `sales` pushed on aisle end caps and elsewhere, etc. Not the experience I'm after.
Extremes are more pervasive now than ever.

It would be great if we could just avoid the war part and just split. As a progressive I feel like I have no need to ever go to a conservative state and I’m sure conservatives feel the same way. Let them define the laws they want.
Hetzner is missing!
For what it's worth, many of the capitol rioters have been charged. Not nearly enough though. Trump/Guiliani probably deserve to be in prison and that's unlikely to happen.
I’ve had WiFi captive portals that somehow don’t redirect neverssl.com but do for other http/80 domains. Truly bewildering - I don’t understand how it could happen by mistake, nor why anyone would do that on purpose.
I did that myself. Actually did like 4-5 hours of calls in total like that with one company. I have zero bad feelings and the interviewers were cool about it.

I just can't afford to take 4-5 days off each time someone thinks we might be a good match and needs a 30 minutes (which is always more). When I'm motivated to switch jobs I might talk to a few companies and all interactions are kind of short and in the middle of day. They seldom want to meet at 7 am or at 6 pm. Middle of the day? Sure, but we both understand it means finding a middle ground.
An orange dot "renders their machines unusable"??? That seems like an over-reaction.
We still lack data on unvaccinated naive (if SA >70% seroprevalence are true), so at least omicron would serve as booster dose for vaccinated and recovered.
> However, the results were mostly just pathetic.

It was closer to working than you'd think. It looks pathetic until it works.

> The unfortunate thing is that the President himself tried to play along with it

That's generous wording.
Some people in Jan 6 assaulted capital guard and chased people into private areas of Congress. But I don’t think they had any chance of overturning the election.
We have different lifestyles, needs, and goals. I realize mine may be flawed but these are the opinions I have due to my personal experience. I am not trying to force anyone to share my lifestyle and I simply ask the same.
We might face catastrophic collapse, but that doesn’t mean a slow and steady approach would work. Lack of coal just means you burn up less efficient resources to try and replace it. It wouldn’t be enough. Mostly that means trees. There is no slow and steady. It’s still a race to consume. You’ve just taken out the most plentiful and valuable energy resources humanity has been blessed with.

This view does not require any fondness for fossil fuels now, though realistically we are still highly dependent on them.
LA is a big city just like NYC. You can get apartments for under $1000 but they're usually illegal basement conversions in a crime ridden dump or a modest 1BR split into two shoe box studios in or near said crime ridden dumps.
I've gotten pushback on best practises, especially from more junior developers or developers on a tight deadline.

I do C# and one common, yet trivial example is poor naming conventions.

As a reviewer we have certain tools we can use to encourage change:
* We can make comments low priority, so the advice is there, but it's skippable.
* We can make summary comments, that are opinionated but don't expect any immediate or direct resolution (great for architectural thoughts).
* We can include example code snippets in our comments. This reduces the burden for the developer to adopt a certain change. I've even gone to the extent of writing small programs to validate a refactor or prove an error exists.
* Sometimes it's not an error, but how that company wants X done. We take note of these for future reviewers.

Overall, this is a diplomacy game, the only power we have is soft power. I find it good practise, as I'm typically a direct kinda guy.

Results?

I've seen a lot of developers, after being introduced to new ways of working, implement that on later PR's. Sometimes immediately, sometimes after it arises a few times. Examples include improved naming, better code structure, usage of newer language features, more clarity in the code, or better SQL injection protection!

Absolutely. My dad's a psychoanalyst, and he's always emphasised to all of us that - if you see a therapist - you're not evaluating them as a person or as a professional, you're evaluating the 'spark' between you and them. It's not an indication of fault on either part if it doesn't work out.
2015 was the last MacBook with HDMI. Anyways I agree with you but it's true there is a lot of the richer professionals too - those who buy the new maxxed out MacBooks.
I think the logic goes backward. Normal people are probably more at ease with backup + from scratch reinstall than update process + failure mitigation.

ps: I agree with your point about EOS trying to make things invisible for the user and not addressing this well though.
