I think at 7 YOE, you’re at a very good spot where you have the flexibility of being picky with what types of interviews you can choose to interact with.
Especially in this current market where it’s one of the rare times that candidates have some semblance of power in the hiring process.

You should check out https://github.com/poteto/hiring-without-whiteboards, which is a list of companies that don’t use LeetCode in their interview process.

An issue I often ran into when using the repo myself was I’d find a company that sounded awesome, and then find that they didn’t have any open positions. I created nowhiteboard.org to act as a way to pull all the jobs from the companies listed on that repo (and other companies that I’ve manually found that don’t use LeetCode).

I think there’s a matter of education and shining a light on the companies that don’t use LeetCode as I feel that the prevailing notion in online communities is that companies only use LeetCode to interview. I’m obviously biased since I’m obsessively researching this, but I’ve read a good few comments online of engineers who’ve stated that they haven’t had to use LeetCode for any of their interviews over their career, and that all of those companies aren’t listed on the repo above.

If companies had a good way to source candidates that are hesitant to jump jobs specifically because of LeetCode, I could see our industry starting to make some semblance of progress towards making LeetCode less prevalent in interviews.

Anyways, rant over, hope your job searching goes well!
Chevy's Bolt is pretty simple and easily maintained/repaired.

Chevy was actually selling the $35k car Musk wouldn't fucking shut up about - the base Model 3, which never existed except on paper.

Now you can have your choice of Bolts in the mid teens, and they've now got eight year warranty on the batteries (eight years from this year, when the battery recall was performed.)
Even in the most charitable sense, it's still a worse-than-useless comment.

Q: I am having trouble with X; do you have any tips?

Many wealthy SWEs are moving to Texas and Florida for reasons that boil down to “no state tax” and “cheaper”, both points I’ve explained the math behind.

This isn’t really a political point. I like living in California (for now) and wouldn’t move to either of the other states just for the savings. Not worth it.
What the hell do you mean, "they won't directly affect me"?

So hospitals getting full of unvaccinated patients "doesn't affect me"?

Service industries losing staff all over doesn't affect me? Increased insurance costs and cancelled flights don't concern me? A huge number of people having long COVID symptoms, record number of people applying for disabilities, doesn't affect me?

There's not enough medical staff to go around treating these idiots.

Your arguements are just one brtual demonstration of ignorance after another.

> computer science is a discipline where people seem to think the education doesn't matter that much

I think when people say that education doesn't matter that much in our field; they are talking about formal education as offered in academia.

This is not to say that university education isn't valuable. But SE is unique among engineering disciplines because a) it is possible to learn everything relevant in self study and b) a lot of formal education in the area still teaches CS, when most people who attend the courses want to be engineers, not scientists.
The main deficit here is package manager. People are not writing yet another cross-platform package managers for no reason. Providing a consistent cross-platform experience is a value add. With "use system package manager", you'd need something like the following at least:

On Windows/MSYS2, run pacman -S mingw-w64-SDL2. On macOS/Homebrew, run brew install sdl2. On Linux/DEB, run apt install libsdl2-dev. On Linux/RPM, run dnf install SDL2-devel.

Which is no fun, not to speak of problems when versions in system package managers are different.
> How do you figure out the leetcode employers from the non-leetcode ones?

ask the first recruiter? put it in your emails? ask your friends about their employers?
That sounds like a terrible situation. Sorry you have to deal with that. When things are that dire I guess you have to prioritize what’s important. From what you describe they are prioritizing for child care.
The older kids probably need more education focus the k-5 kids need the child care. That’s probably administratively hard to pull off though.
Also, please read Thomas Piketty on wealth inequality (and why it is much more relevant than income inequality).
"I said you own a digital asset, which in this case is the ability to trade the NFT." ... you realize you just repeated their statement right?

> Now whether that asset is blessed by some third party, and whether that blessing is considered valuable, is largely unrelated.

No it is related when people are talking about if it solves an actual problem. And without that blessing you're spending money to own a token with no meaning, so there's no problem being solved. It's literally buying a receipt with no purchases written on it and then claiming "well the receipt is a purchase!"

NFTs rely on centralized systems to actually do anything. If you own a Bored Ape and get invited to a party, the people at the party don't have to let you in just because you showed them proof you own some NFT: https://www.theverge.com/22824387/bored-ape-yacht-club-nft-p...

If you use an NFT to show ownership of a video game, the publisher doesn't have to respect your ownership, if they revoke access tied to your NFT token, what difference does it make vs the pre-NFT world where you could have proven ownership with a paper receipt?

In any situation an NFT is literally a token. A widget that you can prove you own without relying on a specific 3rd party.

A widget that has no value until said specific 3rd party agrees to tie your widget to some asset. But once you rely on the 3rd party to make your widget actually do something, you've essentially recreated a digital copy of your receipt with extra steps and killed all usefulness of the decentralized aspect.
The situation doesn't appreciably change as it exists now with TPM, unless Microsoft uses the opportunity to cut out the service provided for signing Linux and other third-party kernels.

Presumably the only difference here, AFAICT, is that with the enclave on-chip you can implement disk encryption without exposing the secret key outside the enclave. Currently, if you're using the TPM for disk encryption the key is simply unwrapped by the TPM, exposing the key either in the kernel or (if loaded into another enclave, like SGX) during transmission across the bus. This is because the TPM simply doesn't have the bandwidth or processing power for bulk encryption.

Apple's T2 doesn't have this issue with disk encryption as the T2 chip itself actually can service disk block requests directly; the host OS needn't ever know the disk encryption key, even temporarily.

The question for me is how Microsoft's new chip integrates with authentication, especially biometric authentication. AFAIU, on Apple hardware the T2 chips controls the fingerprint scanner, rather than relying on the host OS to present the scan, which means you can't bypass biometric authentication (i.e. presence) by cracking the host kernel. The T2 actually hosts an entire microkernel with far more rigorous and well analyzed process separation than the macOS or Windows kernels (or various ARM Secure Enclave host CPU microkernels, for that matter). Doing this "on chip" (i.e. on the main CPU) isn't necessarily better from a security perspective, especially if it's implemented in the main host kernel. Balancing software complexity and hardware isolation is a complex problem.
Having spent significant time in Florida this year, masks and any covid restrictions have been gone for a while there.

By contrast, all my new year’s plans in NYC got cancelled, mask mandates exist for gyms and a lot of other places, vaccine mandates exist everywhere, and many many shows have been cancelled.

While I understand many (most?) HNers would consider this positive (“look, people acted of their own accord!”), those tired of covid 19 restrictions, fears, and whatever else you want to call it, have looked at Florida with envy.

Lockdowns has become a catch all term for this.

I need to restate that many might agree with these restrictions so much so that it’s not a big deal to them but it’s not nothing and might even be significant for others.

> The problem with induced demand is that yes you increase capacity and more people then move clogging up the roads until a similar equilibrum is reached as before.

That's still an improvement over the previous status quo. Commute times are not the only, or even necessarily the most important factor in a transportation system. Your new equilibrium transports a larger number of people than the previous equilibrium. In isolation, that's purely a good thing.

In a world where road users paid for those improvements directly in proportion to their use of the road we could just keep expanding capacity indefinitely until either all the latent demand were met, or until rising construction costs drove demand down to a level where the roads were no longer congested. Since roads are funded by income taxes though, a crucial half of that feedback loop is missing. We can't just keep expanding because there's nothing to stop road users from demanding more and more capacity even after adding that capacity becomes cost-prohibitive.

Thanks for your response. Alas, Go is not an option for me ... I only have access to Java programmers. They know Spring Boot better than I do, but their systems reek of complexity, and I suspect that is because there is a huge weight of enterprise practices that they feel they should conform to.

For example, in a latency critical path, I identified 4 microservices in a chain; it seemed to me that all one needs in that situation -- they all have similar scaling needs -- is a simple modular structure where one module enqueues an in-memory request for the next task in the chain. No json, no network etc.

Their response? "Monolith bad, microservice good". If you want microservice, spring boot it is. And they must be packaged with docker, and managed by a cluster manager.

I blame the complexity of these enterprise models because they lead these engineers to believe that simple solutions are not possible.

On a self balacing PEV, if the motor decelerates on it's own (without a weight shift from the rider), the resulting weight shift will not be gradual. You might tip forward slightly slower in comparison but the nose dive would still happen pretty much immediately. This is because in order to maintain speed, the CoM must be in front of the balance point.

The design of self-balancing PEVs isn't fundentally unsafe, but it (like most sports and means of transportation) does carry risks that you should be aware of and compensate for.
If people are confused how this might happen, it'll go like this

if the s&p 500 crashes, people are gonna want as much cash as possible to move into stable assets, so they're gonna pull money out of crypto too.

I would expect the price of precious metals will go up, as that's a trusted strategy in a bear market for many investors.

I had 2.2k miles on my Onewheel+ going through urban traffic before someone took it off my hands, so I think I had a decent amount of experience.

Mine cut off semi-randomly a couple dozen times when I was well past the 300 mile mark. The worst/most annoying cases would be when trying to re-engage it when the traffic light would go green, but the onewheel wouldn’t re-engage and it’d just look like I was tripping forward in traffic. I’d have to step over to the curb and restart it a couple times before it ‘worked’

It was definitely the most fun I’ve ever had commuting, but the fact that I couldn’t trust it to simply just not shut off on me in traffic made it feel pretty impractical.

Apparently a couple causes for this could have been a bad battery and also a bad footpad. For now, I’m just sticking with my ebike, since a battery failure there is a bit less catastrophic!
> But the population doesn't just sit back and enjoy shorter commutes after a highway widening project.

Notice that this is true of anything that relieves the highway congestion in any way whatsoever. As soon as the road is clear, no matter why, the commute is shorter and it becomes more attractive to live further away in distance.

> Eventually (over the span of decades) this results in a new equilibrium in which the highway is nearly as congested as it was before the widening and everyone is once again living at about the time-limit of how far they are willing to commute.

The way out of this is to make some alternative to increasing sprawl more attractive than increasing sprawl. Relaxing zoning rules to allow higher density is an obvious one, because people would rather have a 15 minute commute than a 30 minute commute, so they'll prefer to build housing where it's a 15 minute commute unless that's prohibited by law. When it is, they have to build further away and you get more sprawl.

But also notice that you're assuming population growth.

If the population was stable, and you built a road which is sufficient now, it'll probably stay sufficient as long as the population remains stable, because who is building enough new housing to move the needle on traffic in a city that isn't growing?

If the city's population is growing, continued population growth will require you to expand highways and such over time in proportion to the population. What else would you expect? The only alternative is intentional scarcity.
> The US spends way more on education per capita than many countries that were able to keep their schools open during 2020-2021: https://nces.ed.gov/programs/coe/indicator/cmd

The US also spends way more on healthcare and has worse outcomes. Those countries also have way different societies, taxation regimes, healthcare, attitudes towards vaccination, and social safety nets. It's hard to find a country that you can fairly compare the US to in all respects.
If there isn’t any info online about their interview process, you can ask the recruiter if they have any algorithm-based interviews in their process. I’ve found probably 1/3 of the recruiters that reach out to me on LinkedIn will end up telling me if they do or not without requiring me to hop on the phone with them.

Here's my minority opinion: Leetcode-style problems can be valuable for finding talent. I know this will get me a lot of hate in programming circles.

Trust me that I know it feels horrible when you're bad at them. It does not mean you're a bad engineer by any means. It just means you're bad at Leetcode problems! Clearly, you still have strengths that have allowed you to accomplish what you have in your career. Those are strengths that should not be discounted by potential employers and certainly not by you.

But that doesn't discount the value of those problems either. You're right that you have to memorize the basic data structures and there is a certain pattern to these problems once you're good at them. But if there wasn't any art to these problems, then after 400+ problems wouldn't you have figured out the robotic algorithm to solve them? I argue that there is more to those problems than bullshit.

People who are good at these problems exist. I would not dismiss the strengths of these engineers either. These engineers may not even possess the same strengths you do! But just like you, there is a certain skill or talent that allows them to solve those problems. Those skills are valued by companies who want to run smart engineering teams.

It is not the only skill out there, it's just the easiest skill to empirically measure. You cannot run a large organization without a data-driven method. If you trust the human intuition of your hiring team, you will have a lot (more) variance in your hiring quality. Not to mention that your hiring will be biased against women and anyone of a different race than of your hiring team. This is true even if everybody is aware of their own internal biases. This is why large orgs give these problems.

Even if you do not share those skills, you might still be valuable as a good engineer. You just have to look for teams that are looking for asymmetric advantages: that is, those who can't afford to compete directly against the richer teams.

The problem with this is that wealth often means ownership of capital, capital often means ownership of a private company, and so you have a peculiar situation where the government takes gradual ownership of your business once it starts to do well.

There's probably a way to work around this by making it non-voting stock or something, but it's still an inherent dampener on growth, because there's no incentive to grow, and on RnD, because there's no concentration of capital. A silicon fab is worth billions; does your system imply that the only way to build one is to either arrange a consortium of 10,000 people or government funding?

> this must not be the case in all companies out there?

It isn't. There is a bubble where it is prevalent, and there are lots of companies where people actually talk with candidates, eg. about software they have written, why and what they were excited about it, discuss the company product and what they are looking for in terms of contribution, etc.
Yes. And given the prevalence of continued prevalence of depression, there might be some evolutionary benefit for the genes that also cause depression.

No clue whether it's the depression itself, or whether that's just a side-effect of something else that's useful.

I think the gist of the article wasn't so much hating Lisp, but hating the culture around it which is a lot of "you're doing it wrong" and feeling superior. A similar culture pervaded Smalltalk back at the commercial height of it. It's the attitude that turns people off.

Something of a shame really. The lispers and Smalltalkers were their own worst enemies back in the day.

You are indeed correct, but minio is actually a lot of components. And in the case of TrueNAS they handle most of the storage related components with a minio object gateway running on top.

> Can you elaborate on why you would use uname -m instead of instructing the person building the software to configure the build correctly for their system? (it's not hard in my experience)

It's also not hard in my experience, but mysteriously, it seems to be hard for my users. This creates endless support load for you. Yes, "those users should not use my software" is a valid choice, but if you want to support those users, automatic build setup is pretty much necessary.

I too wish my users would just follow the instruction which is easy. Unfortunately, wishing does not solve the problem.
