I think a reasonable design approach is to consider Kubernetes an application management system, just as Postgres is a database management system. Put your stateless pods in there, wire them together with DNS, and inject config into them.

Having that philosophy, and optimising that case so it's easy for coders to deploy into it is a big win IMO.
Start at EUR20/hour and increase your price as demand increases.

I have never sold my time on upwork but I have bought thousands of hours of time and I have regularly had freelancers move out of my price range due to demand for their skills.

I’m sure there is a cap but the market is global. It is well above what many could earn locally. Over the years I have seen a convergence of rates in developed and developing nations.
Yeah I agree I'm similar to you in that I'm a parent with 2 kids 16 years exp and these leetcode tests kick my butt.

The companies making you do this though likely don't want someone like me. They want someone young who will burn themselves out working 80 hours a week for them.

So I guess it's a good filter for me as well.

the phone book had 2 parts: the white pages, the front part, which was everyone, by default, and the yellow pages (the 2nd part), which cost money to put your business name in (with more money, you got a large ad with graphics)...you could pay $1 to keep your name out of the white pages...

No, I think those are great ways to stand out and demonstrate interest and side projects and degrees are more representative of actual work. Leetcode itself though seems to be used as a gatekeeper benefiting those with the luxury of time to do the grind. It doesn’t mean you’re necessarily getting more qualified candidates and are possibly excluding some folks who would be more than capable.
They also have lots of vitamins and nutrients.
From corporate sources, I hear “you must trust what we’re saying or there will be consequences.”

From independent sources, I hear “don’t take a single word we’re saying at face value, verify every claim we make and use critical thinking and research to judge whether you think this is the truth.”

Which approach is more likely to result in a society that values truth and integrity over the long term?
This is rich coming from substack, who built themselves on diverse voices, and then only offered their "Pro" funding to conservatives, transphobes, people in the "ideological dark web" and those who are a bit of all of the above (Glenn Greenwald?)

Censorship is also about who you uplift, and substack has been very one-sided here.
If food for you is just a container of nutrients and if you don't care about taste either, you can cook 1 day a week or a month and store everything in a freezer. Also, you can store lots of doomsday food since they take years to expire.
>It doesn't matter whether I agree or disagree. It matters whether we, as a society, can find a balance between the rights of the individuals and the rights of the sovereign/state.

Yes. And this is called... censorship. Even when we, the good guys, do it. You can't just change the definition of words based on whether a western democracy or an authoritarian hellhole does it, when they're doing exactly the same thing.

Edit:

> Censorship usually (also) refers to restrictions of free speech typical for non-democratic societies [1], which doesn't lead to productive discussions (in my experience). It is not uncommon to see the false conclusion "censorship is used in authoritarian countries therefore free speech must not be restricted".

If people make a faulty argument, point out the fault in the argument. No need to change the definition of words so the ground shifts under their feet. FWIW, I think "censorship is a prime feature of authoritarian governments" is a perfectly valid argument against, ahem, restricting free speech.

The analogy goes much further if you take it as "open set" =~ "semidecidable property", i.e., you can determine in finite time that something is in the subset, but may not halt on an input that is not in the subset. A closed set is one whose complement is semidecidable, i.e., "co-semidecidable". This gives some intuition to the finite intersection vs arbitrary union property (though in computability you would restrict to a kind of "effective" union, but still one that could be infinite). Then sets that are closed and open are the decidable properties.

Then the inverse-image definition of a continuous function is clearly satisfied by computable functions. A function f : A -> B is continuous if for any semidecidable property O on B, the property { x \in A. f(x) \in O } is semidecidable (since f is a computable function).

There's some very cool ideas here like Hausdorff == Diagonal is closed =~ the equality predicate is co-semidecidable, i.e., you can implement a partial inequality function that always returns true if the inputs are not equal.

Best way is to hire through network.

You should be articulate and explicit about your hiring needs to your network, and careers page etc. Add a link to your company in your profile! You are on the front page of Hackernews, but even though I'm looking for one of the roles you mentioned and wanted to know more I can't see what you're hiring for or anything about your company.
Just write all the documentation in Chinese or Hindi, maybe.
"The platform is hosted on Amazon Web Services in the UK"... (see the beginning at https://www.cloud.service.gov.uk/features/)
I'm not from UK but it seems the story is pretty much the same for small companies.

From experience, there's no single place that will just work. Have to keep trying through multiple channels all the time.

Here are some ways that we try.

- LinkedIn Jobs, indeed etc like job boards

- HN (whoishiring), angel.co

- technology specific job boards (welovegolang, pycoders weekly etc)

- references through current employees, their past colleagues etc

- cold pings on Linkedin, Twitter, github

- Some slack/discord channels for specific technologies

In personal experience, quality of the crowd depends on the channel too, however, wouldn't call this a confirmed observation.
This is a sad failing on YouTube's part. There must be many words, in addition to hypocrisy, that describe precisely this situation, in which a company is openly engaging such double standards while covering itself with legal and fiduciary shields. Of course it's their prerogative to decide what is monetised and what isn't, and they have all these rules and guidelines to shape it, but they apparently follow them selectively. I guess I don't have to carry a thesaurus around anymore, as I can just use YouTube as an example.

I think one action to take is to gather and show as many examples as possible, like she did on her Twitter account. In addition to discussing for pages after pages here, people can also retweet to amplify the message. Because it is the prerogative of those that sympathise with her, to point out hypocrisy of YouTube. They can't do as they will, punish selectively, and not expect public backlash, can they?

I also wonder if it would make sense for Naomi and other sympathetic content creators to make videos with different characteristics (same kind of demonetised video, but with the full spectrum of what YouTube deems questionable) to figure out more precisely where they draw the line, which would more clearly define YouTube's obviously malleable boundaries and paint them in a corner, for the purpose of giving people like her more opportunities to point out the double standard publicly. Just off the top of my head, the examples in this instance could be re-shooting the video with

- another cardboard clone that has a penis

- another cardboard clone with its nipples taped (I'm serious)

- Naomi in winter clothing

I know that this might come across as a stupid idea, and it shouldn't even be needed in the first place, but since all politics is shaped by public opinion, every weapon in our arsenal that can move it, even by a millimeter, should be used. It's hard work, really.
> She pretends to be some women's rights activist when she's really just a purveyor of some weird type of titillation.

You seem to be implying these are somehow mutually exclusive. I don't see how that follows though. Pushing the boundaries by purveying a weird type of titillation could very well be a form of women's rights activism.
> - Training someone after they fall victim to a phishing attack makes them MORE likely to fall for future attacks.

Fascinating. A fair number of training programs seem to have the opposite of the intended effect. DARE (saying no to drugs) is a famous example.

To guess a mechanism: the training gives some specific examples of phishing, probably from a few years ago, which don't match current techniques. The phishers also know what's in popular training courses, so they avoid known trigger phrases. So people are less likely to recognize a novel scam than if they'd never seen any.
> write fuzz tests just like you'd write unit tests

You're missing a key point the GP made, operating systems are big. There's also a finite number of person-hours in a development cycle. Third, fuzzing is a complicated and open ended process that's difficult to analyze.

Fuzzing is not a simple subject. Testing fuzzed input requires a lot of instrumentation that can affect measurements if it's instrumentation not enabled in production builds. Not all code is easily tested with fuzzed input even when it can be properly instrumented.

Because there's limited amounts of time in a day, every working moment can't be spent on the near infinite permutations of fuzzed input for every component on a system. Even automated test suites take time to run and then can only test known workflows or code paths.

An OS has thousands of components with complex graphs of those interacting components. There's vast surface area for bugs and limited time to explore it all. Just switching languages and adding more tests aren't going to make bugs go away.
My favorite story about scientific consensus is the Wright Brothers. They didn't get credit for heavier than air flight from the Smithsonian until the 1920s. Also, NYT said the same week the Wright brothers flew that heavier than air flight would take millions of years. Should have shut down the bicycle mechanics for misinformation.

> They had offered it to the United States National Museum, as the Smithsonian Institution was then known, in 1910. Officials at the Smithsonian, particularly Charles Walcott, were "anxious to redeem the reputation" of former director, Samuel Langley, who had spent thousands of government dollars trying to invent an airplane which he called an "aerodrome."

The title ("Naomi Wu Demonetized on YouTube") makes it sound as if her whole channel is demonetized, while it's actually just one specific video of her making a nude bust of herself from cardboard.

Youtube is a fickle beast, and there's plenty of examples of creators and videos getting demonetized seemingly without a good reason [0]. I would guess that this particular video got hit because she´s pushed the limits before, and Youtube has their eyes on her. There might be some mass reporting from haters as well.

In a different tweet she writes "YouTube's criteria are patriarchal, and male gaze focused". I kind of agree with that, at least that women's bodies seem to be more sexually loaded than men's according to Youtube and the US culture Youtube bases its rules on. I don't think men can monetize sexually loaded videos on Youtube either, but the rules for what's deemed sexually loaded are different for women.

There's really two problems converging here. One is that women's bodies are considered inherently more sexual, and the other is that anything that can be considered sexual is deemed immoral and wrong.

I am not saying responsibility does not exist. But no one lives in a vacuum. Everyone grows up in *an environment* they cannot choose for themselves, where one gets their beliefs and morality primed. Some are brainwashed one could say.

Still, they are people that should have compassion, that you can call onto.

> No one forces anyone to believe in any kind of ideology

I think you don't understand the common working of religious societies very well, or people in general that would not allow their beliefs to be questioned or think in absolutes.

Make: is Make:. Once they set up an isolation ward for nerds away from main exhibit in Maker Faire Tokyo to keep unsightly EE/HAM nerds away from handsome Makers.

They made huge contributions to their Maker movement and gave me $9 Pro Micros, and I’m thankful of it, but I won’t forget that they always are like that.
Wu has done more for the Maker subculture than almost any of her critics. Details have been well documented in other posts.

I wish Wu's critics would just be honest for once. I try not to be reductive, but I her case it's patently obvious that she gets flack because she's got extremely big tits.

Given the boxes she checks (female, clearly very intelligent, creative, STEM stuff, good content creator) she'd be held up as a hero by everyone sans implants.
Brains run on heuristics and shortcuts. A group of brains will develop shared signals to aid in that energy-conservation. They will then refine their signalling, ie contextual, implicit, misleading, covert, etc.

Some signals are loud and drown out more complex ones. "Sex sells." The more those types of signals are tolerated or incentivized on a platform, the further it will be dominated by noise masking covert signals.

I once attended a round table discussion in a previous job. The topic was women and work. I'm male, and was a manager, and figured that if half my directs are women I should do what I can to listen and support them.

Anyways, the guest of honor proceeded to advise the 100+ female managers in the room to, among other things, "use their assets" to influence people in the organization. This was met with a stunned but approving clamor.

I felt embarrassed, as if I had accidentally crashed a private sleepover. The person sharing the advice had a proven track record. Why hang onto sexuality signals? Because they work.
I appreciate the sympathy, but, in this particular case, the question was part of homework, not on-the-spot pop whiteboarding. To this day, I find this curious. I asked folks at other firms, too, and apparently, this kind of phenomenon is common. Hence, all the damning statistics about the FizzBuzz.
@motleydev I really like what you had to say on reactive programming. Really nice article, and awesome demo too!
Getting vaccinated doesn't hurt our "dignity as a species". It's the smart and socially responsible thing to do, so it would make one more worthy of respect.

I know name calling is pretty low, but I stand by it. The data is so good right now, there are so many people who have been vaccinated, so many who've had covid with and without being vaccinated, that yes, you're a dumbass if you think it's smart not to get the vaccine. You've listened to the wrong information and built a bad argument in your mind.

My family member who died was a lovely person, but always bad at critical thinking and always fell for conspiracy theories. Mostly it was harmless. Sometimes it just cost him a lot of money. This time it cost him his life.

> Going after the listeners' intelligence is petty and arrogant.

I read that differently: it’s not raw intelligence but the self-image of being an intellectual without actually doing the homework — like the people who have various hot takes based on some post they read who then start doing the “mainstream science is wrong about …” dance with the voice of authority but no actual understanding of the field. We’ve seen that a lot during the pandemic with various claims about things like HCQ, Ivermectin, vitamin D, etc. where people would a strong position that something worked but really had no expertise in the field to assess those claims.

Rogan is dangerous because he’s an entertainer who needs controversy to sell hundreds of millions of dollars in viewership but a lot of his audience think he’s giving them something more than that.

Not defending the parent argument, but the biggest difference to me here is that JRE is not claiming any accuracy of his views, but with news outlets the damage is already irreversible when they retract their "information from credible sources".
You can discriminate on skills relevant to the role. The issue here is that these are extremely weakly relevant, but discriminate on features not relevant to the role.

The argument is that leetcode is a means to dress up the latter as the former. Prima facie, this seems plausible. I dont think it's racially/etc. motivated -- I just think interviewers like people "like them", and leetcode selects for "like them".
… and?

(Your answer doesn’t enlighten anything. You could possibly be saying “it says use slash as a separator, not a terminator”, but it can be quite reasonable to declare a null component at the end as a means of accessing the default resource for that “folder”. Pages often have other resources associated with them. The fact of the matter is that the folder/file divide just isn’t present in URLs, and so the answer in a situation like this is ambiguous.)
>Do you hate Joe Rogan because he's mainstream, or because he espouses a view that is not mainstream while appearing to be a mainstream media personality

It's that he is mainstream and provably wrong most of the times he opens his mouth, and barely any opposition is ever allowed onto the podcast. It is an actual example of an "ideological echo chamber", unlike most of the times a conservative proclaims it.
I've got the Supernote A5X and can highly recommend it! (I had bought the RM2 before but returned it – in my book, the Supernote is much better.)

Sometimes however your environment can be stable enough that something working can really be left alone. One extreme case being a purely computational C library with zero dependencies, like a crypto library or a PNG parser.
You're not the only one, but it's the equivalent of walking round a foreign country with a phrasebook versus being fluent in the native language. In this case, for example, you seem unaware that reduce is just doing a funny thing with a loop and won't be faster, but you've been seduced by shorter looking code because it looks more clever. There is, in fact, value in the reduce method but it's nothing to do with speed or efficiency (it's because it's declarative). But if this were Python, and the reduce was a call to numpy, then it would be about speed and efficiency. The point of doing stuff like leetcode is (or should be) to test real understanding of the technology, not an ability to copy/paste from StackOverflow.
The Fox Team specifically asked for her in the mod mail, and the mods agreed she would be the best choice.

So it's both right: Fox News asked for her and she was selected/elected by the mod team.

Not wrong from a financial point of view, but the it should be noted that (generally speaking) a boat's maximum speed is proportional to its length:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hull_speed

You can cross oceans in a small boat, but you will probably do it much slower than a longer boat. There is some probability that something will go wrong every day you're out on the water, so the longer it takes the higher the chances that something bad will happen (never mind all the extra provisioning needed for those days). Also, the longer you're out, the more likely the weather will shift to something you won't like and you won't be able to avoid it because of your slow(er) speed.

Just another factor to consider.
Yeah, my big gripe is that I keep my computers docked/clamshelled and whenever you lift them, airpods will ALWAYS transfer. So I've had to learn to stop doing that with multiple devices and prevent them from going to sleep.
Three years ago I started rejecting interviews that included banal code challenges unrelated to the positions, leetcode, and hackerrank stuff. Basically anything involving Coderpad et al.
