"Insects are the largest group within the arthropod phylum" [0]

So if colloquially any arthropod is a bug (which seems wrong to me) then any insect is a bug. To that end I can certainly agree that the word "bug" is a broad term and has different meanings contextually.

>there are only upsides to people starting up a business.

that is not true at all. The majority of business ventures fail and a lot of small businesses aren't productive, and at the end of the day someone needs to pick the tab up. Even Thiel used to say, don't start a business until you have a very good reason to.

What you actually want is to incentivize the kind of people to start a business who have a high chance of driving innovation and bringing about large, productive firms, you don't really want an army of self-employed people with low capital formation in a developed country.

A FAANG on the CV without preparing leetcode BS for months!

I had one of the guys I was managing in a startup get into the AI company that Google bought without leetcoding.

I was pretty jelly but still determined not to spend months on leetcoding, dealing with shitty big org politics, performance reviews and having to work from the office (it was still back in the days when people were free to work from the office).
Without the cost of leetcoding I could probably tolerate it for a couple of years and resell myself as a Xers for the rest of my career.
With leetcoding and the risk of failure, fuck that.

it's a problem of your car brand, not the EV's. My EV still has neutral. Let me guess, you probably choose a legacy brand EV car, that has no culture on how to buy electronics, because you know I can trust this brand better since they are so long on the market. The same automatic problem could be on the car with manual transmission nowadays. Since they all required emergency braking and many other items are mandatory e.g nothing to do with EV itself.
OK, so I am not doing any desktop app development this days but if I will do I will not write any special code for GNOME.

> GTK is not a cross platform toolkit like Qt where it tries to draw everything with native widgets

Just a correction, Qt does not use native widget, they have code that will adapt and paint the thigns too look and work as native widgets, so for example they have button groups that when you use it say for OK-Cancel buttons it will change it to Cancel-OK on different platforms (some platforms have the order reversed). Also Qt will paint the OK/Cancel button icons on KDE but not on Windows/GNOME . So in fact Qt devs put the effort in and wrote code and themes to get things look native, use the native file dialogs, use the native notifications, system tray, the native paths etc (not ike the other toolkit that doesn't care about integration, theming and configuration)

Patronizing interviewers. Have not met any myself but worked with that kind of people. People that start off an interview with a 30 min lesson why the interviewer is better than the candidate.

The worst hiring though is when you are asked to take a code test and you can clearly see from the extent of the test that they want a POC for something. I was given a code test that was basically a complete MS paint. I did not do it and then the company complained about it. I did not even apply for the job in the first place. Some big companies…
While the fallacy you're describing is an apt description of 90% of political bitterness, it is effectively impossible to force people - even reasonable people who acknowledge the sins of both sides - to ignore the nigh-universal opinion that "one of them is worse". I honestly am not sure how to get around that, especially considering that it's almost certainly true by many metrics, regardless of "which side" it is, since it would be an amazing coincidence for both sides in any context to express goodness and evil in effectively equal amounts. The tendency to take binary sides on a gradient issue is just too strong - even people who see and acknowledge the gradient still effectively choose sides in most conversations.

Edit: It's almost as if you have to let each side feel that they are correct that "the other side" is indeed worse, but also communicate to them that it doesn't matter in the big big picture, and pursuing any manifestation of that opinion is counterproductive.
Well that’s not correct. You can say whatever you want but that isn’t the common definition of the term.
I agree we aren't close to civil war but it isn't as simple as saying 'get rid of extreme elements'. All "media" is specifically designed to foster faux outrage to sell more ads. When is the last time a headline wasn't worded as click-bait. As long as outrage is extremely profitable for Hatebook, Fox News, CNN and Twitter, these "fringes" aren't going anywhere.
It’s crazy how variable experiences of that time are across geography; I was living in a high-growth city at the time (where I went to undergrad) and we basically went from 30% Y/Y growth to 20% for a couple years, so we never really even felt the recession. I didn’t even have a CS degree but they were hiring anyone with a pulse and PHP skills.

Luck plays into career success to an incredible degree. I was just in the right place, right time to build a long career. I’m certainly not very talented or hard-working.

That doesn't explain why Israel doesn't have this problem, they have an even smaller home market. They just sell internationally.

I'd say (more) violent civil conflict is a certainty at this point. Nearly the entire Republican party has reorganized around the concept of "if we win, good, if they win, they stole our country". That mindset has already led to violence and that mindset grows stronger every day.

But an actual civil war, and the sacrifices and consequences that come with it, seems far fetched in light of the fact that we are still a comfortable place to live and most people have a lot to lose and little to gain by killing their neighbor.
Thank you! (I wrote the article)
How does people find thins kind of stuff willingly?
I'm curious, do you mean you're applying to companies where the interviewers actually have a say in salary negotiations? AFAIK, interviewers almost never a say on compensation, except in very small companies where your interviewer is a co-founded or partner.
For me it is going to be Laravel and PHP.
Funny how we interpret these situations differently: Bob is going to destroy wildlife habitat, which we should treat as a public good. Sally is going to provide additional housing in a dense urban area, which we should also treat as a public good.

My ideal would be significantly less interference and oversight for Sally than Bob.

Blaming a company for using a loophole is like blaming a shark for eating fish.
Organizations tend to optimize for their target metrics irrespective of morality. It's only when they act beyond that mandate that they then become morally culpable, imo.

Perverse incentives are hard not to introduce in a complex legislative push. But whoever wrote that specific provision either never worked for a company that saw them as expendable, or might as well have forgotten that the sun can rise.

I like a lot of what the ACA did. But the instability and financial strain I've seen that came from the economic restructuring the provision caused single-handedly butchered my faith in the government's competence to help its citizens for years.

That doesn't mean people weren't struggling before. But I've never met anybody at the low-end of the employment spectrum who the provision actually helped.

The state is supposed to keep these large organizations under control, and the sin is its failure to execute on that portion of its mandate.
I may not be fancy, but it will get you where you want to be faster, easier, and in a more maintainable way.
The police in a nearby town were explicitly forbidden from issue citations or removing the residents of an unofficial homeless encampment that took over a city street two blocks from the police station, a county jail, and an official homeless encampment. Piles of stolen bikes. Harassment of employees and customers at local businesses. Frequent trespassing. Assaults of other homeless people, sometimes with weapons. Vandalism. All totally fine.

It took years and the death of a homeless person by being burned alive for the 'compassionate' city council to do something about the problem. Their solution was to put up 2-hour parking signs—it was already illegal to park for more than 72 hours—and finally allow the police to do their job.

followed immediately by

>Every element of this vicious monster was created by a well-meaning person who thought they were doing the right thing. Every person involved in it today – teachers, parents, politicians, administrators, real estate agents – is disincentivized to fix the problem. They don’t even realize they’re part of the problem.

Well then, it isn't lying in the first paragraph, is it?

This list is just sad. I was thinking about what else could I say, but it's just sad. There's no area listed with an European solution that's comfortably in the top 3 in the world in its field. Maybe it is because this list is deliberately listing areas where the alternatives are less known (someone in another thread brings up SAP as an example).

The big difference between consulting and in-company roles for me is that if I have to deal with a stakeholder being foolish I'm aware they're gitting billed directly for the time I'm spending dealing with it.

This isn't connected to how much -I- make each month either, it's a primarily psychological difference.

Agree absolutely that ending up with a dominant customer can make you effectively in-company in terms of your incentives, though, and isn't the experience I want out of my work.
Good counterpoint in this recent article in The Atlantic [1].

"Yet my father’s fears [of civil war in Northern Ireland] were not fulfilled. There was a horrible, 30-year conflict that brought death to thousands and varying degrees of misery to millions. There was terrible cruelty and abysmal atrocity. There were decades of despair in which it seemed impossible that a polity that had imploded could ever be rebuilt. But the conflict never did rise to the level of civil war."

"These prophecies have a way of being self-fulfilling."

"However, the belief that there was going to be a civil war in Ireland made everything worse. Once that idea takes hold, it has a force of its own. The demagogues warn that the other side is mobilizing. They are coming for us. Not only do we have to defend ourselves, but we have to deny them the advantage of making the first move. The logic of the preemptive strike sets in: Do it to them before they do it to you."

I had this last year, came in about the same amount lower. I said no, expressed my annoyance that the recruiter had wasted my time. They came back at 15% less, I said no again. They then said “ok you’re too expensive” I replied with “no problem, I understand you have a budget limitation, I hope you find what you’re looking for soon”.

2 weeks later they come back 20% over what I asked for, had accepted another role by then and said “no, next time, just offer what’s asked”
Web3 means using UDP as the backbone protocol and with hole-punching it makes P2P interactions possible. Hence the whole decentralisation bit. Tbh ipv6 can also achieve the same goals but at the cost of de-anonymization since it's a unique marker.
have had a few of these experiences

one interviewer was watching their laptop and typing (slack?) and made almost no eye contact the entire time. it started with dead silence for a bit, then "what questions do you have for me". and that question was repeated 2 or 3 times after I finished with my reply, then it was just over.

another time, after the first 10 or so minutes of talking on the phone, the interviewer said "well I don't know if this department will open up, but you should try applying at company x or company y" and that was it. this was for a new department in the company - I assume they would not be interviewing if it was a long shot, and I was referred by an employee. pure waste of time.

a couple other similar stories I am forgetting at the moment, then the usual ghosting/late arrivals/condescension about education and work history.
Interviewer asked me if I wanted something to drink, and I was like: water is all good with me. He brings me a glass and I take a sip. The tast was absolutely foul, acidic with a taste I just couldn't place. In the most civilised way possible I spit the water back into the glass. Sorry I say, there must have been some mistake here, maybe some detergent left after cleaning. The interviewer looks horrified at me and acts all offended, rolls his eyes and mutters under his breath: It is just cucumber and rose pedal leaves, it's not like I would want to poison you. The interview continues with this foul stank in my mouth and I my head racing with who/what/why cucumbers? On the way out I pass by the kitchen and see this giant jar of water, something right out of a chemistry lab of a mad scientist, with cucumbers and rose pedals flouting in it.
It's undoubtedly got to be hard for the "entrepreneur" without novel ideas or an ability to notice market shortcomings and imagine patches to them. Like you, I read this post with a bit of incredulity - sure, you might want to "be your own boss" and "launch a successful product" but in order to actually do that... you kinda have to do something novel. I don't want to crap on OP's dreams, but I don't see the link manager thing turning into a billion dollar unicorn.

I feel like this is the same thing that happens with musicians and artists - it's trend hopping and hoping to get a second of the spotlight for what's in vogue. One year it's brostep, then it's NFT, then its your vanlife miniseries on Youtube, then it's your hyperpop EP, then it's your "metaverse" art project, etc. I know a lot of people like this and few of them seem to find lasting success because they either aren't sticking in a certain domain long enough to really excel, or have no real passion other than chasing "success" which results in ventures that are half-baked and obvious clones of things that already exist.
> Yet we have to charge them every day because they are built to do not just telephony, but also maps, reservations, banking, 3D games, and so on and so forth.

While I agree with you here, I feel like people don't try to optimize an already working base. For example, I recently updated the clock app on my android phone. There is no difference in functionality in the new app, but it has the android 12 design. This time could have been spent optimizing the app in a way or another. I do the same thing on my phone as I did 5/6 years ago: read a lot online, sometimes listen to music, sometimes look at maps, sometimes use apps, telephony. My battery lasts longer these days, but not as much because my phone also has to show sweet animations and be able to run high-performance stuff (I made the error of buying a flagship phone).
Do you live somewhere with an unusually hard driving test? I don't remember studying much at all for the written test (Canada), let alone memorizing a bank of 1000 questions. I never heard of anyone failing the written test.

Plenty of people failed the driving test, though.

PullRequest actually reviews the reviewers (I actually became a better reviewer via this).

'LGTM' is considered a bad practise, and I've been pulled up on this several times. Instead, we're trained to take more time, go deeper, and be very clear about what the changes do, and how well they are written even on relatively trivial changes.

You want examples of auto-run abuse… I saw many usb keychains with autorun.ini and a lot of hidden files combined with links to other hidden files to simulate the “regular” files after spreading the malware if you click them.

It explores many vulnerabilities: auto-run, hidden extensions, no protection to running not signed binaries, links that are not simple filesystem links…

Windows evolved in a time when solutions for usability problems did not consider security. Now, in the name of compatibility, these vulnerabilities had to be maintained and users were trained to believe that was the right way to do things.

This gave windows users a reputation of being negligent, but most are not. They were trained like dogs to behave like that.

That's the question that such an effort would have to solve. I think you're assuming a model where software is directly used by an individual consumer, though, which is not always the case. For commercial applications where your software is integrated into the end product, for instance, companies would never risk stealing unlicensed code considering the risk. How one would address the question you posed is entirely dependent on the domain one's operating in.
The border is on screen, but not in captured video.
Yeah seriously, interviews are stressful enough. Even managing one with calm and composure is already a major "plus" for any candidate IMO.
My observation in that all of these things (plus delivery services, Amazon, etc.) can make a difference at the margins. If someone doesn't have a daily commute (or has a reasonable transit or bicycle/walk option) and otherwise isn't transporting themselves, other family members, home improvement stuff, etc. on a daily or near-daily basis, collectively they may let a household do without a car (or at least a second car).

A couple I know in SF don't have a car but they seem to make a lot of use of cars in some form or other pretty regularly.
a long time ago, I interviewed for a technical but still customer-facing position (think forward-sales engineer)

for two hours the two interviewers basically took turns, one asking me specific things about my resume, while the other would make a show of how disinterested or bored they were. it was a bit comical to watch a 60-year old director enthusiastically check email, so I kind of picked up on this being one of those 'behavior tests'

after being hired and witnessing the same behavior from our actual clients whenever we hemmed or hawed about anything on our company's sales sheet, I asked one of the interviewers (who had become my director) and they said basically the idea was to filter out the people who would have soon become angry at their own customers

About a month or so ago I had a very rude interview with the person who would have been my manager at a very large and well known FinTech company.

I had already passed the phone screen, the 2/3rd rounds, and did well enough on the on-site to warrant a final interview to see if I was to make the cut - I was told it would be focused on the technical presentation I prepared as part of the on-site.

The interview started off ok, just confirming the company I worked for and the industry I'm in. I had trusted the other interviewers at that company to be honest and ask questions in good faith and they all were for the most part. However, this specific interviewer used some leading questions in order to prove a point about how FinTech is far superior in complexity to the industry I worked in and I wouldn't be able to hang. We didn't talk much about my presentation.

Very rude for a guy who had only been there 4 months and didn't come from fintech himself. I'm bitter about it but ultimately I wouldn't have wanted to work for him anyway.
I'm not sure of your starting point or your goals, but maybe:

1. Wood's Business Accounting 2

2. Some of the CFA study materials

3. Some of the 10kdiver threads: https://10kdiver.com/twitter-threads/

4. Books about financial fraud (that talk about incorrect ways to do accounting).

5. IFRS standards for your industry.

6. Googling 'Accounting for X', where X is something to do with your industry (e.g. 'virtual goods' or 'unpaid loan interest').
It is tough for people who have to take 30 mins out of their day job for an interview. I get that and respect that. However, I look for an explanation right at the beginning which shows that they have humility and understand that this it not ideal but this is the best they can do considering they are at work. However, if they expect me to "get it" without them even mentioning at beginning, I take that as a sign of "I am so good so I couldn't care less about telling you why I cannot do the interview in an ideal setting".
