My own story is somewhat similar - the coding problem was a Tetris style game that was bounded and easily achievable in an hour. No graphics, just console text. Even though the job would be JavaScript and my expertise was C++, I chose to use Python (and I have no idea why anyone would choose a language other than Python for a time-constrained interview, given the choice. ;)) Move or rotate a block, and drop it until it rests on the pile. The main requirement was to implement a scoring routine, and then “extra credit” was offered if someone wanted to implement an AI if they had any remaining free time. I was so excited to get the thing working and flex by writing a basic AI player that I completely forgot to write the required scoring routine (my AI heuristics maybe should have, but didn’t depend on score). The interviewer was kind and just asked me to explain how I would have written the scoring routine, and then later offered me the job. I took it. (It was lower pay than my previous job, but not egregious. No regrets though.) This interview is for me, like you, one of my favorite interviews ever. BTW I completely bombed the MVC database schema portion of the interview. Like really totally bombed it, I was terrible. But they were reasonable and everything else was fun. Six months later I was giving all the same interview questions and hiring people, trying as hard as I could to make the interviews as much fun as I’d had.
> Third, no safety margin is needed here because this is not a safety problem.

Sewage overflow is certainly a safety problem. Just health safety though, not flight safety.

1.7L per passenger is a large volume of excretions, but flight operations may require multiple flights before emptying the tank, especially if there's a problem with the emptying equipment at some airport. Would a failure to empty the tank prevent a plane from taking off? Probably only if the remaining capacity is likely to be insufficient.
Everyone seems to like beating the "regulation" drum but it's not at all clear what that would mean. Companies can no longer ban politicians? Companies can no longer filter "misinformation" (whatever that is)?

Plus, are we trying to force companies to let all speech through (antisemitism OK? True racism OK?), or just to force them to carry what they deem "misinformation"?

It's hard to understand exactly what the goal of this "regulation" are and it's even harder to imagine a regulatory scheme that would accomplish those goals without major unwanted side effects.
Yours is a valid critique. I'm not a fan of woo language either.

At the same time, it's hard to ignore the results I've seen first-hand.

Let's ignore the woo language and ignore the book and ignore my suggested misunderstanding of how any of it is supposed to work.

What is the long-range systems outlook of current ag practices? Is it sustainable? If not, what scale of economic policy change will we have to undertake to make it work sustainably?

We are of course talking about the entire system and not a few oddball smallhold farmers.
Bainbridge Health | Data and Solutions Engineers, Growth, Pharmacists, and Clinical Data Analysts | Go, Python, VueJS, SQL | Remote (US) | Full-time | https://www.bainbridgehealth.com/careers

Receiving medication at a hospital is one of the most dangerous things you can do. Ensuring safe and secure medication supplies is also one of the most complex and expensive things hospitals do. There is a mountain of data, but very little of it is used effectively.

We work with leading hospital pharmacies across the United States to translate data into actionable clinical and supply chain insights. Leveraging their own administration and pharmacy preparation datasets, we guide hospitals to safer, more efficient medication use. We also provide the most comprehensive benchmarking on medication use and decision support available to assist with governance, research, and supply chain development across industry through partnerships with leading organizations.

Join a team that is focused on real world improvements that can be measured month-to-month, quarter-to-quarter, in terms of better care, better outcomes, and lower prices for real people. We are actively looking for a Data Engineer and a Solutions Engineer. The first role is primarily focused on building our internal platforms and tools, while the second is focused on supporting the full Customer Experience from pre-sales to on-going use.

We are a Python, Go, SQL (MS-SQL, Oracle on the customer side, BigQuery in-house), and Javascript (VueJS) shop. We build on Google Kubernetes Engine and similar tools. We also do systems integration with existing hospital platforms. So, if you have experience with traditional Windows on-prem operations stack, there's a definite place for you on our team.

If you have prior experience with healthcare, and especially hospital, technologies, and are looking to work with a modern tech stack and a more focused team, that's a plus.

Outside of engineering, we are also hiring a Growth Manager, a Clinical Pharmacist, and Clinical Data Analysts.

A spin-out of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, our corporate HQ is based in Philadelphia, PA, but our team is remote with folks all across the country.
Yeah, it looks like it's extremely optimised for reliability. The construction reminds me of some of the space stuff I'd seen made by a company I worked for (it was all done before my time though).

It probably wouldn't be incredibly expensive in this case (automotive) because all the wire bonding and tab welding can be automated, but clearly cost isn't the main concern behind the design!
Yes, I've noticed this particularly with technical results. A lot of sites seem to have scraped StackOverflow and GitHub issues, put a crappy ad-loaded interface around them, and somehow out-rank the original SO/GitHub content.

It's like the bad-old-days of ExpertsExchange, which somehow was never delisted by Google for its shady SEO tactics.
There are some movies you think about for years.. The Sacrifice and Stalker were like that, for me.

Tarkovsky's advice to young people is also something I think will ring true with the Hacker News crowd https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Vvdtaaprzw
I think they used MPI (the m4-like one) because it is much easier to retrofit as a sort of templating language for use in web pages back in the 90s when that was a thing, as opposed to the modern practice of maintaining an entire parallel-universe DOM which is then transformed into the real DOM. MUF (the Forth-like one) was a bit too low-level for the application, though I do seem to recall a story this same furry wrote in which a fantasy CPU is mentioned that runs MUF natively, like a Lisp machine but for furry roleplay environments. I won't get into the uses to which it was put.

The faster you recognize poisonous woprkplaces would turn you over their ass if it made them a dime, you'll learn to play their game. And with the stunts listed, yeah, they deserve no notice and extreme prejudice.

Hopefully, when you leave, the dept/company will die. Ive seen that happen a LOT with someone doing 2x-3x the work they're getting paid for.

Work. Your. Wage.
For reputation + value, I was hoping to piggyback on external exchanges. Your coin is just worth what people are willing to trade for it. If you mint more coins, you have to sell them for something real, or they are not worth anything.

The hard part is the reputation transfer (or voting, or embuing). If you have 30 A coins and B puts 10% "juice" in them, does this mean you can use them like 3 B coins? Or can you convert them somehow? What happens when C puts "juice" in B? Or A puts "juice" in C? The potentially recusive nature reminded me a lot of Pagerank, but basically you will end up with coins that are a mixture of different coins, and you have to find an algorithm that converges.

I also think the economics are going to be really funny because suddenly price does not depend just on supply and demand, but your coins are going to be better or worse for certain purposes depending on how the emitters vote. (They are basically giving out vouchers to a bit of their surplus depending on what you buy.)
There's a lot of people talking about galleries here, and that's great. But it strikes me that all the professional artists I know make their money through Patreon, and market themselves on social media. That's another venue for professional networking that you may want to look into, especially since the barrier to entry is low (post art on Twitter, try to connect with other Twitter artists).
I wouldn't just complain about Google. Google search results mostly reflect a deeper problem with the web today. I do miss the simplicity of the 2000s.

Bixoto | France/Spain | REMOTE | Full-time | Python, PHP, VueJS | https://bixoto.com/

Bixoto is an ecommerce company looking to make ecommerce more local and sustainable. We started in 2020 and are entirely self-funded. We operate the ecommerce website bixoto.com and aim to create additional services around it. For example, we’re currently working on HundredTrees, a solution to estimate the CO2e impact of what you buy online in order to later be able to reduce it.

The team currently includes the two tech/business cofounders, two devs and one marketing intern. Two persons are in France (one in Rennes and one in Paris) and the three others are in Barcelona. We meet all together at least twice per year.

We have large ambitions and are looking to expand the team to work on them. On the tech part, we’re currently looking for two new devs. Note the company is in early stage, so this is an opportunity to learn a lot while shaping the future of the company.

The website uses Magento and the backend is in Python. We have some other projets with Vue on the front. We may use Elixir or other technologies in the future based on the team’s interests.

From folks I know in the audio biz, there is an element of status symbol to it.

Or more generally Elitism. If there is much difference between the two, anyways.
There can be a reasonable level of nuance and detail in many sports (if not most sports conversations!)

But most people don’t care about the why’s or the how’s on or off the field, and mainly just want to brag about their team (or complain if their team is bad.)
Or Gloria Steinem, or Sandra Day O’Connor, or Imelda Marcos, or any of a number of women who were outside of the authors apparent Eastern European bubble.
Looks like the original review this refers to isn't taking any criticism:

> NOTE: We understand that for many, the ability of a switch to "alter" the sound defies what they know and/or understand about networks (cables, switches, protocols, etc.). With that in mind, we are not going to approve comments that attack the review or the reviewer
I would certainly not wake up early enough to do the interview, let alone read the interview. FWIW, the candidate dodged a bullet
Actually Solo 401k lets you put away just as much if not more, and has a Roth option. But both are worth considering for sure.
The large crystal size is a pretty sure bet it's pure. That recrystallization he showed was a thing of beauty.
And then there’s this: https://web.archive.org/web/20050721081251/http://www.refere...
I would prefer that, but...

That works if you're a bonobo that is dealing with other bonobos. When you try to be a bonobo when you are in a troop of chimps, you will become the alpha male chimp's concubine.

In other words, its better to be strong and tactical in order to push the values you believe in. Its also why the progressive caucus got screwed with the Build Back Better bill - they trusted the benevolence of their leadership, and then got taken advantage of [1, 2].

Can you elaborate more on your "Other obligations"? This job sounds like a movie parody of a shitty office job and you need to get out of there ASAP.
Agreed. I’ve done generative art for many years now: and I have found generally (with a couple exceptions of course), the most successful artists in the space all have a strong foundation in drawing/painting/graphic design.
Synergistic are notorious for making ridiculous claims about their digital products. There is a cult around digital jitter that has developed and is currently destroying audio forums, its adherents insist they can hear audible jitter effects over digital transmission despite even the worst measurements being well under the audible noise floor. The best thing to do is not engage with them.

Synergistic is a flag bearer for this nonsense.
> Apple is not designing its own CPUs (but ARM does)

Apple IS designing its own CPUs. They have been designing their own CPUs since their A4 processor.

Apple has an Architecture License with ARM [1]. Other companies with the same license include Qualcomm, Samsung, Nvidia, and Broadcom.

These licensees have full architectural freedom with the cores as long as they are ARM ISA compatible. For example, Apple has added custom instructions in their M1 processor [2].

So, an Apple ARM processor core is different from a Samsung ARM core is different from a Qualcomm ARM core.

Yet these big corporations spend billions of dollars lobbying the governments to their advantage every year. But when there is a practical problem, people like you come in here and throw their hands up "There is nothing we can do, but to lock our cars down"
Looks like I'm wrong on this one.
And the strange Wikipedia mirrors that are shown in Google Verbatim searches instead of the original. If I disable Verbatim, they disappear and I get regular Wikipedia instead.
Idk. Feels like HN has been veering this direction over the last year or so, and the comments are becoming markedly negative, critical comments about everything. I'm not sure it's a problem HN can solve at all. But I definitely agree with GP.

The post the other day about the individual leaving the C++ community (something like "Wrapping Up 2021") was an absolute nightmare thread basically dismissing the author as mentally unsound without really addressing the content.

Every post about nuclear causes a massive fight without even addressing the contents.

Every post about COVID is a shitshow.

Anything having to do with programming languages devolves into a war.

Not every thread is like this of course but a lot of these harmless, cool submissions often get completely wrecked by nay-sayers and just generally unpleasant people anymore, it seems.

I'm not sure what the solution is but I've definitely been discouraged from coming around as much as I used to.

Yes, I am aware of that, but I'm also aware that this is an ancient workflow. Git was released before I even used a computer for the first time.

I think it's natural for workflows to change overtime.

Interestingly Google didn't have a top-result ad and the google.com/travel carousel is 4th from the bottom.

For the actual results, both thefearlessforeigner.com and paigemindsthegap.com seem to be actual travel blogs (the pictures didn't appear in a reverse image search, so they are probably organic), but they're clearly geared towards being a 'faq' for visiting the city and have affiliate links where appropriate. Bing went straight for discoveratlanta.com, and frommers.com is well-thought-out but not a personal travel blog.
Sorry, I thought you were just yet another denier of anything/everything on the internet.

A lot of people forget that one of the inputs to the Google ranking algorithm is input from human quality raters who work off of an extensive, 172 page, guide that Google publishes and updates for anyone to read: https://static.googleusercontent.com/media/guidelines.raterh...
It'd be really interesting if Google allowed upvote/downvote on search results... but it'd be super hard to imagine them every taking the votes into account much versus ad revenue.

And the upvote/downvote would be very tricky to implement in a way that the SEO crowd couldn't just game it horribly.
Of course! this is a tip I got from HN years ago. it gets old to add Reddit, PracticalMachinist, Fine Woodworking, etc. I really want a proxy for user generated content where nobody got paid to write it.

Fun story: I knew a person who worked for a home building website part time. She got paid to write stories on home renovations. She had never done _anything_ she wrote about. Mostly, she gathered up other blogspam and recycled and rewrote it without citation. Sometimes she went to forums, sometimes reddit, sometimes youtube. But, the universal part of it was that she had to produce 2x pieces of content per week endlessly. Just for a local LA builder. Most of the content wasn't "wrong" but, it also wasn't exactly incisive and didn't include any details that would have been useful. Instead it was just filler. The worst part is that it consistently improved that company's search ranking.

Content farming needs to die.
