Ask HN: Is there any interest in an interview feedback service?
Hello;

This is one of those "solve my own problem" situations. I have always struggled with interviewing, which is kind of ironic since I've conducted at least 100 interviews, though none in tech.

I don't think I'm alone in a world where, 10, 20, or even 50, interviews later, you keep getting the standard "after careful consideration, we decided you weren't a good fit." After the number gets so large, you end up having to explain why you've been out of work for 6 to 12 months... or longer.

You mull over the interview, and you come up with no reason that you didn't get offered a take home test. I discovered early on that there is no one who will give any feedback due to legal reasons.

The concept would be simple: For $100, you do a 30 to 60 minute interview with a technical person who has done interviews before. Within 24 hours, you get a write up on what you did right, what you did wrong, and what you can improve on. The interviewer would get paid $75 for his or her time.

Is a service like this viable? It's a definite chicken / egg project.
Also just powering craft in their own system, doesn't have to be interstellar targets. See this post for an interesting take on how we could use it in the solar system.

Last year (20/21), Bing was directing people to website which had been hacked and from what I could trace on the offending site, via the bing cache, it was linked to Eastern European located websites. So I dont think its just Google, but Bing have been affected in the past as well.

I also dont understand why MS need a system in MS Edge (SmartScreen) which blocks you from accessing a website, yet the link to the website appear in the bing results, you would have thought Bing and SmartScreen would use the same data!?!

The only other thing I would check is that your system hasnt been hacked are you are seeing a Man In The Middle attack ie a fake google website and search results directing you to malicious websites via the search results.

Lets face it, how do you tell you are on the correct website and not some MITM website? Security certs dont tell you anything if the certificate company has had their root certs stolen or duplicated under a court order.

Exactly, I think this is really going to backfire for the bean counters that took over Docker. It should either be free or $100k+ agreements for extremely large companies. They're way underestimating the inertia and pain with trying to nickle-and-dime small and medium business users.
Once automatic speech recognition (ASR) gets closer to bullet-proof, I expect this to become a huge thing, but right now, it seems like you're getting better error rates than typical.

Any input method where you frequently have to repeat yourself and undo things won't get mainstream. I'd bet people's mainstream tolerance for errors would have to be like one per five to ten minutes before you could get them to really adopt something like this (barring disability reasons, like RSI). Until then, the tech and market don't match.
I think that Molly (https://molly.im/) is a good option if you want to manage "Signal" via F-Droid.
OP claims the market is "huge"

It's not

It's tiny (at best)

Tiny markets don't tend to get much attention
Why not? "Open hacker news", "go back", "Play liked playlist in Spotify"

Seems fairly reasonable. It need not be the only way, but not having to use my mouse to do stupidly simple tasks wouldn't break my heart.
A rope bridge with wood planks will last as long as someone maintains the rope and the planks.

Nobody is advocating that "the perfect bridge" be built. They are advocating that already built bridges receive regular maintenance.

Expecting that a bridge doesn't collapse is an entirely achievable goal. Expecting that a bridge doesn't collapse without maintenance is very unlikely.
"rioting mobs are not rational, that they attack the wrong targets or the innocent."

This is true, and this alone makes justice incompatible with rioting, never mind the arrogance and viciousness of riotors. But even if the rioters did attack the "right" people, it would also not be licit for we would fall into vigilantism which puts the self-righteous vigilante in a state of war with the state by denying their moral right to govern and to stop him from carrying out acts of vigilantism.

So just rioting is a contradiction in terms.
Also those new pharma billionaires in the past two years say it's pretty lucrative.
Ask HN: Must-know RFC/ISO/IEEE/IETF BCP docs for every developer?
What are some widely used and referenced, programming language-agnostic documents that ~every developer should become at least vaguely familiar with; regardless of the domain they work on, and whether they do frontend, mobile, backend, infra etc?

(Perhaps not reading the original document end-to-end, but knowing the existence of a thing and the keyword(s) to be consulted when developing a particular feature in their code.)

Here are two that immediately come to my mind:

- ISO 8601 (date/time interchange formats)

- IEEE 754 (floating point numbers representation & arithmetic)

What else?

I don't see how that's relevant here, unless you interpreted my statement to mean we will be removing Python 2.7 in RHEL 8. That isn't happening, the module will remain in the AppStream repositories but will not receive any support.

Removing the system Python is prevented on RHEL/Fedora (with an exception). The package manager, DNF and YUM, are marked as protected which prevent their removal. You'd need to remove the protection file from /etc/dnf/protected.d before you can do that. Removing the system python would remove the package manager which depends on it, therefore the transaction is stopped. Using the RPM utility directly also will not work unless you a) pass --nodeps or b) list out every single dependency at the same time manually. You can test this in the CentOS containers with the following:

quay.io/centos/centos:7:

yum remove python
rpm -ev python

quay.io/centos/centos:stream8

dnf remove platform-python
rpm -ev platform-python

quay.io/centos/centos:stream9

dnf remove python3
rpm -ev python3

Best practice policy: use yum/dnf, not rpm for any package management.
You can start off with warning signs. I doubt bridges would collapse if pedestrians or bicyclists use them but sings could fend traffic off.

Second, the size of the vehicle is important. Larger vehicles like trucks get these poor bridges lifespan shortened drastically. Trucks and busses could be rerouted on safe bridges and so on.

I generally am not afraid of bridges because they have convinced me that they're safe but if a bridge were to collapse under me and I'd make it out alive I'd probably have a bridge phobia.
Foxy Droid (https://github.com/kitsunyan/foxy-droid) is also a nice re-implementation of the old UI.
You seem to be putting "the right way" on some kind of pedestal. There is no one right way. There are right ways to do software in a lab, there are right ways to do software in a startup. You've learned those two. You lack exposure to one of the right ways to do software in a megacorp that optimizes for making developers fungible resources and maximizing shareholder value. It doesn't make you somehow less of a developer not being able to do the third. If you want to chase a high TC then by all means, jump in and learn it. But, that's the only reason. Learning how to develop for a megacorp won't enrich your life, enlighten you or make you feel anymore like you've made it as a developer.

Also, the grass is greener won't stop. Once you get to the megacorp you will wax poetic about your academia and startup days. You'll tell those fun stories to your coworkers because you stopped accumulating fun work stories when you joined megacorp. You'll occasionally think about going back to grad school, or joining a startup again; but, you'll remember you have an RSU vest in 2 months, better stick around at least for that, can't leave money on the table...
Dorethea Lange was working for the FSA and made work as Americans were rounded up for the crime of Japanese heritage.

Her work was censored as part of the changed propaganda agenda from the we-are-all-citizens of Migrant Mother to ends-justify racism.
If the reactions seem bizarre, maybe you're missing something.

For me it was more than "just the tech". Python 3.x was not the Python 3000 I was promised for a long time: many of the additions did not warrant breaking changes (as demonstrated by the backports) and many of Python's deeper warts still remain unaddressed, even today.

I think the deeper issue is that at the rate that 2.x got popular, the original motivation, principles and process behind the language's development got diluted. The orchestration of the push for 3.x adoption was not technically motivated in a convincing manner and signaled a change in the process. I stopped trusting the process.
Cooking when/where energy is scarce. Very useful to save on fuel while camping, for example. Also, I suppose, next time the electric grid is down and you want to cook on battery.
All of our current theories are set in continuous spacetime. At the present, there's no reason to assume anything else.
Podman or minikube are the solutions I've gone with. Great software!
Little nitpick: the title is "The Fireless Cooker that Feeds Low-tech Magazine", as in "this is the fireless cooker we use".
That's a really interesting bit of history -- thanks for writing it all down and sharing!
What I don't get is it they break the language anyway, why they didn't fix classes. Most of python is pretty beautiful, but classes are so ugly, even basics like what is the Syntax for instance vs static cars, self/this, setting up constructors, calling inherited constructors. Like come on, how is it that they are uglier than Java in this regard.
Meanwhile Microsoft lets their employees do whatever they want after hours, so long as no company provided resources are used.

I know of developers who made quite a bit of $$$ being first out the door with applications utilizing SDKs that they wrote. MS is perfectly happy with their own developers showing off shiny new features.
RFC 1925
this is absolutely not what he is asking. his questions explicitly say to take QM as a given, but then move on to "why couldn't the universe be some other way?" He is not asking about other theories to explain the data we have; he is asking whether a substantively similar universe could have conceivably been built without QM.
I played a FPS where you could have the wall textures blurry or sharp. The blurry setting made me fiddle with my glasses unconsciously, so I went with sharp, even though I ended up looking at big squares in the limit, like a weird mosaic decorated the wall.

Well current mainstream cosmologists claim they literally don't know what 80% of the universe is made up of (that's why "dark" matter). So...

Feature flag is inevitable for all large software projects.

1. To hide not-yet-ready features that have production dependencies.

2. To route special users to a different code path.

3. To test new ML code on a fraction of users.

4. After a refactor to a different language or a micro service, you may need feature flag to route requests.

I could go on and on, it's simply mandatory.
Likely true, though the forbidden refurb batteries could be reused in conversions like these[1]. I am tempted to try a conversion of some silly old car (like my high-school Opel GT) but on the downside you don't get airbags, crumple zones etc. to go with your 21st-century electric motors and batteries...

For years, techies made fun of people not running anti-virus software. Eventually, people came to accept that it was necessary. Then, the anti-virus software people launched a trove of crapware based on enterprise needs that ruined the concept of anti-virus. Now, techies are advocating to not run that crapware at all. There has to be an MBA course on this "how to build a bloated program designed by managers using all the buzzwords" type of thing.
You wouldn't unless you had an insatiable curiosity in knowing how it works. However, even with that it sounds like you wouldn't be approved.
Voice input is good for high level tasks and goals, requiring a high level comprehension.

For detailed work though the more direct method of translating movements is far more efficient.

When you can describe an abstract end goal voice is great. When you have to actually do all the individual steps towards some high level goal then it's like telling a newbie programmer through some high level database optimization. You only use voice because your main goal here is to teach someone. If the PC could be taught that way, then voice would be in demand for such tasks too.

[Impact per unit of spying] X [number of spies caught] - [impact per unit of innocent person being impacted] X [number of innocent people falsely accused] = net impact to society

Typically, the first part of the equation is wildly overestimated because by stopping spies in 1 area, they just find another way to do what they want to do and the impact happens anyways. Or the threat evolves over time but the policies do not resulting in negative side-effects and very little benefit anymore (e.g. the TSA)
Linked data is actually heavily used by commercial entities, especially by video websites. This is because Google uses it for rich search results and they see value in exposing the information for that purpose.

It is nowhere near universal, but it seems to be growing and I hope it continues.
I keep hearing about companies facing staffing challenges, but they also seem utterly unwilling to do anything about it other than blame workers and yell at them more.

And it works well enough evidently. Worst case, Amazon just becomes Oracle or IBM. Both companies are known as utter disasters, but they chug on.

Excellence is extremely overrated in the corporate world.

I tried out vscode-neovim at one point but switched back to vscodevim. I don't actually remember what the problems were but I do remember thinking that vscodevim was the lesser evil. It's pretty hard when coming from regular vim, but I live with it. But maybe things have changed?
While a nice thought - I think only choosing those that have “remained relevant” over such a long period of time are likely to be those that are problematic… And typically came from one class, gender, and race of people. At least from the books I was seeing…
Quite literally, we had a CMS that could have been named "FEATURE FLAG" - every single element of it was tucked away in it's own feature flag. Had upsides and downsides but we made it work.
I think it's a double edged sword - people are also way too nitty for small commits, which only incentivizes behavior like this.
No worries. I'm sorry I wrote something so unclearly that you felt I was attacking you. It wasn't my intent.
That's called propaganda.
Websites are also bloated with massive Javascript - it's just another source of awfully bloated, inefficient, bloody useless software!
Yes, this is similar to opening a radio and saying "I don't know what this transistor does; let's take it out and see what the radio does".
It's not the hardware, it's the crap that runs on it.

You want a system which is secure and usable? Time for the DoD to commission their own OS.

"Nobody will know how to use it!" is an objection which can be overcome by training, which is a thing that the armed forces understand.

"It won't be compatible with the COTS!" is an advantage, not a disadvantage.

"It will take too long and cost too much!" means that they aren't in a good position now and lots of jobs will be created.

"Nobody wants to work on a military system!" is technically true, but run it out of NASA or the Department of Energy and develop it with an open source license (effectively a necessity, anyway). Also, it turns out that lots of people and companies will work on things when money is involved.

This is half the problem different terminology in use between different age groups, just like slang is different between different age groups.
It seems to me like they're saying the library approach makes it easier to add features. So there would be one example of more features.
Multifamily housing is for poor people, or for very specific and unsymapthetic cohorts of rich people like San Francisco tech bros and New York investment bankers. Normal, relatable American families live in detached houses.

The details of the multifamily structure don't seem to matter very much. If it's got shared walls and no yard, it's antithetical to the American Dream. Neighbors will perceive it as "for" either a higher or lower class, never for them.
I wonder if it has something to do with the Busybox lawsuit. I think that it might be more to do with "we don't want to rock the boat with licensing...GPL2 has worked for us, and we don't want to be forced into a corner like Linksys was with Busybox".

This is entirely speculation on my end, IANAL and I didn't work in that part of Apple.

Im at a big tech company now. I’ve learned a valuable set of skills in my lengthy tenure, but I think your FOMO is unwarranted.

We’re bogged down in tech debt, legacy systems, endless migration projects, and worst of all, management chains on their way out being replaced by people managers. They’re in technical roles, bringing culture from legacy mega corps like IBM, or IT managers from cost center organizations who don’t give a shit about the product or customer experience.

My company’s corporate culture was unashamedly aggressive in doing big things, even if it meant burning people out.

Nowadays, teams working on critical projects are getting even more pressure than ever from incompetent people managers who don’t understand even the basics of what their team does.

And then you have entire fleets of teams who aren’t working on critical projects. They sort of just exist. Imagine a $400K cushy job where you write 10 lines of code in an entire quarter. Not just you, but your entire team just does random “investigations” every sprint. They ship nothing. It’s just a token job because a director or VP is focused elsewhere.

If you are really that concerned about “national security” you can just start employing American nationals only. If that is not enough and anyone looking a bit Asian can look suspicious to you then start employing only white christian americans.

This what overt nationalism and fear of losing supremacy can lead to.

But we know that this didn’t work before so that’s why America has become the place where talents from all over the world come. If we go back to how it was in 1920s then why shouldn’t go back even further and start burning witches again?
Plot twist: McAfee is actually a crypto miner. Their secretly the most valuable company in the world.
I was in the same boat then I switched to Doom Emacs it has all the VIM keybindings but a lot of the emacs power and it covered a lot of the places that VIM was lacking before I now find it one of the best prodcutivity decisions I've made in a long time.

Plus once you figure out org mode and magit you can't imagine living life without them.

Not knowing to look to an associated PR thread for a commit would be the equivalent of modern day archaeologists not knowing what "carbon dating" was.
Virtually no 4K content? What exactly do you mean?

https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/search.php?keyword=&studioid=...

There's a ton of 4K UHD Blurays. All of Apple's TV+ content is in 4K and HDR.
Isn't most of Netflix's original content in 4K now too?

If you've got a capable gaming PC, lots of games support 4K resolutions, HDR, and high frame rates if you have a display.

I personally have no trouble feeding 4K content in to my LG OLED TV and it looks glorious.
I would check for whether there are any extensions that you might not be aware of by going to chrome://extensions. I'd also try installing those same extensions on a fresh profile to see if some configuration inside one of them is causing this.

Bell's theorem assumes statistical independence in its proof that local hidden variables can't reproduce QM. Superdeterminism violates statistical independence, therefore Bell's theorem does not rule out a superdeterministic local hidden variables theory, like this one:

4K broadcasts are pretty new, and most TVs out there probably don't have ATSC 3 receivers.[0] Do cable and satellite providers broadcast 4K? UHD Blurays have been out for over 5 years at this point, but I'm not able to tell how much they've penetrated the market.

Then there's the other question of: does the average person notice the difference between a 1080p TV and a 4K TV?

It’s good to see pictures in color. In my mind World War 2 and before was all gray, black and white because all the pictures are that way. I remember when I visited Verdun and the WW1 battlefield there. I was pretty surprised how pretty the area was and not at all as grim as it looks in old pictures. Same with concentration camps. I visited Dachau in summer and it was also quite nice and not grim at all. I think we have a very distorted view of history because of videos and images are are seeing.

Same for Hitler. A lot of people envision him as this screaming maniac but there are some recordings of him in casual conversation and he had a quite pleasant way of talking.
Yes, the main problem I have with actual "feature" flags is they increase complexity because you have to test multiple variants of features together with integration and unit tests. I like the idea of wrapping a whole release in a release flag instead because you have a set of released features that should all work together.
