I don't want to sound snarky, but since you mentioned that Redis does not document if/that "multiple key expiry is guaranteed to occur at the same time if keys have the same EXPIREAT setting", I am tempted to ask - why did you not check the implementation you're using? That's the unique selling point of using FOSS - you don't have rely on documentation or observational guesswork - you can wade in and really see for yourself! Redis' source code is especially readable in my opinion (thanks again, antirez, for creating this little load-bearing gem of a data structure server), so I would very much encourage you to try, even if C is not your particular forte :)
There was a crow in Austin that used to steal car keys from picnics. It was such a nuisance they had to capture it.
People do not exist outside their circumstances. Being raised in religion/hateful worldview, without contact with outsiders and shunning doubtful members of group (alienating and shunning are really popular in such circles, in more or less vidible manner) doesn't give to many options in what to believe. Also, such ideas are not viewed as -isms inside such groups, they are often "fruit" of a whole tree of ideology and dogmas.

What a backwards way of characterising a style of vocal delivery. As I was reading your comment I was listening to the group 'clipping.' deliver the story of an uprising on an interstellar slave ship, the loneliness of the lone survivor drifting in and out of hypersleep for millenia, and the ship's computer realising the hate it had been taught for people with a skin color had no bearing in reality.

The GP talked about a specific person taking specific actions that they think was worth taking a stance against. Is your counter-argument to that highly pointed argument really to talk about everyone using a specific vocal technique?

Criticise a specific artist if they step over the line. Criticise someone like Immortal Technique for his 9/11 conspiracy bullshit and his rampant homophobia, but don't use someone like him to claim that somehow _all of rap_ should be discarded.
> Joe apparently said you shouldn't worry about taking the vaccine if you're young and healthy, and when he apologized he called himself a moron and said he was talking about OTHER people. That's insane: getting vaccinated regardless of age means a brush with covid is less severe

It's actually not insane at all:

What's insane is calling such statements insane when the evidence isn't yet there to reach such a conclusion.

I have to disagree with this too. A lot of takes on Trump were pretty ridiculous. He's probably among the worst Presidents ever, but the blatant exaggerations during the Trump years were ridiculous.

I absolutely despise this too. To me, a better solution would be to ask for every possible permission on install… you deny the ones you don’t like and go on with you life …. IF I need to enable those to do something afterwards, then programs just prompts for permission again.

The way I’ve dealt with this “let’sPretendUsersAreRetarded” annoyance is to actively add newly installed apps to the “Full Disk Access” list in the “security&privacy”-“privacy” section of system preferences as soon as I install them. Then I don’t have to allow permission everytime I open a new folder.

thanks for the tips.

what would you recommend to prepare as in get familiar with the topic area before you try to fish for opportunities? Usually students with more experience are more likely to work in that area, but then I think trying out new areas isn't that far fetched if there are vacancies from what I've seen.
This is always the response, but it still doesn’t make any sense.

It’s been 15 years since I’ve been in school, and probably about 5 since the last time any of the things I learned there were relevant outside of interviews.

You can certainly get good at it with an internet connection and a hour every day. But that is 50% of the time I have left to myself after all my obligations are fulfilled.

Anyway, that’s not the issue. The issue is that the alghoritms tested for in leetcode are never relevant to the performance of my application.
If you have a major bug in production and have to report to the CEO in 20 minutes, all kinds of soft skills that you can show in interviews are going to serve you vastly better than knowing a leetcode algorithm.
One startup I worked for hired good people organically, basically by having a realtively altruistic mission (educational products for young kids) and good PR.

You can be creative about it though. A story: when the startup was small, a maths student applied to work for us as a programmer. They were very smart and had a good personality, but were naive about their very limited programming experience.
Most companies would have passed. Instead, the team lead said to them: I don't have time to mentor you, but if you can find another student with good programming experience who I like, and can mentor you, I will hire you both. And so they did. So, a 'pass' was turned into two hires for the price of one.

Of course, this probably only works if you can use new grads, who are all looking for jobs at the same time.

I don’t think there’s anything “ordinary” about antitrust training. I think if’s a safe bet to say that you wouldn’t see that type of training in 99.99% of companies.
Yeah, I was talking for the perm roles. If you go to the contractor route, 600, 650 is quite doable. For higher as you said, it's networking, how people see you and what kind of projects you delivered. Depending on the person, it can be something even harder than the leetcode grind. But overall, I would agree.
Did not RTFA, but it could be more complicated than a transparent proxy if the app uses SSL and pinned certificates.
In my own experience it’s just code which is easy to reuse that becomes viral. I don’t think ease-of-use means the underlying workings are good though.

Most likely I think it’s just easier to write a good API for code that isn’t handling edge cases properly.
They're not comparable if you see YouTube as just a company. But you can look at it differently. It is also an organization with total authority over a widely used realm of global public discourse. It can use that power to determine what you hear and see, including both censorship and promotion via "the algorithm". It has massive economic and political influence. Careers are built on its platform, and it has effectively unlimited resources to manipulate politicians and effect policies to its benefit. All this, and it is 100% undemocratic, unresponsive in nearly every way to even those within the organization much less the greater public.

To be clear, governments turning away from even what is mostly limited representative democracy is very worrying. But it's also fair to worry about corporate power.
Our experiences and outlook may differ, but I am very gratified to hear that you have found your way to a better place.

Do you have software meetups in your area? They can be a good place to recruit from if you find one related to your company’s open recs. Also, consider sponsoring one.
Right. Relying on atomic and absolutely reliable expiration is the problem anyway. If it's really that important then it needs to run in a transaction that manually sweeps the keys.
If you have 500TB of tape, the chances are that you are reading at least one tape while also needing to write stuff.

I've personally never experienced that scale, I'm sure the industry has some recommended ratio of drives to tapes.

No it doesn’t. Software doesn’t need to bloat to the point of unusability. We just tend toward that because we don’t deeply understand what role a particular piece of software should play.
Disclaimer, I haven't leetcoded - though I kicked around topcoder a long time ago.

Leetcode probably has value - but the real value isn't in your scores. The scores are a heuristic grade for algorithm capability maybe. And it makes sense that hiring parties would take it into consideration.
The real value lies in what you learn from completing the challenges. I don't think there's much value in being able to 'invert the binary tree' or implement a hash table from scratch. Nobody should do that professionally unless they're trying to push ahead the state of the art in that field.

BUT knowing about algorithm X,Y,or Z, and its performance characteristics and having that in your toolbox to solve real world problems is the difference between an engineer that spins their wheels for a week before solving a problem badly, and one that doesn't break a sweat making a correct and performant solution. A portfolio of algorithms and their strengths in you're 'inmem cache' is crucial if you want to move to roles more advanced than hocking json blobs between the frontend and DB.

I consult and typically find myself working on problems that the in-house team hasn't been able to work out, and very often I walk in on messes of nested loops and O(n^3) functions, when all it would have taken is judicious use of a Heap here, a Dict there (it's surprising how often a linear search over a list rather than a O(1) hashtable is used in some circles), or maybe a Trie or two. These aren't esoteric academic things, they are the abstract building blocks needed to solve real problems.

So, I digress, but: use LeetCode, work on open source, build challenging things and hang with a crowd that knows more than you and watch what they do closely.

Seek to grow your power and capability, not your credentials. If you grow as a developer then the credentials will come automatically. And if a potential employer can't tell the difference between a stone-cold competent programmer and somebody who just has a lot of acronyms on their CV, then they probably don't have much to teach you anyway.
Another consideration related to this is that tapes, being usually offline, as much more secured against accidental (or malicious!) erasure when compared to always-on hard drives.

Also related is that tapes can easily be transported around/offsite, literally thrown in the back of a truck as they are. Try doing that to hard drives and see how many start throwing bad sectors after a round-trip.

Parent seemed to not be talking about vaccines, but that censorship only was being applied to one "side."

So this comment was intentionally describing issues that are from different sides to point out that (A) it doesn't only happen to the "right," and (B) the fact that we hear about it so much from the "right" might actually be because they're censored less. Then (C) they describe that this is potentially even an intentional pattern used by more middle-leaning "left" to justify censorship against the "right" and then leverage against their own, more radical, side.

Not necessarily defending the idea, but comment seemed relevant to the parent, to me.

Until after conditioning generations of swedish crows to rely on this the company gets acquired, humans die off, or the robots get shelved for some other reason. They're going to suffer the fate of Google Reader users.
Agreed. But I suspect that places like HN reply too much on "shadow" moderation methods. Also: I think while it's understandable why you can't see who downvoted/flagged a post, I also see this a weakness when the mechanism is abused - I think that there is no "skin in the game" to flag is an issue.

Yet, when people make jokes about dongles it's also misogynist, because sexuality at the workplace makes women feel uneasy.

From a European standpoint, the simpler explanation (in this particular case) is that the US tech scene is incredibly, fascinatingly prude. It feels like even HN users would rather post their DNA and a list of illegal drugs that helped them pass an exam before they'd talk about their sex lives, for better or for worse.

For the UK, try listing on Indeed. When I was looking for a position back in 2020 it was the only job site that listed jobs where the companies looking to recruit actually got back to me. I used to use JobServe and S1 but sadly they're overrun with recruiters.

A bunch of my pals over the past five years have used Indeed successfully to find software development work (contract and permanent), that's how it was recommended to me. And my current role came from an ad on Indeed.

> Recruiters tend to be a poor and expensive solution

Agreed, from the job hunter side of things. If I see roles advertised by a recruiter I tend to be less inclined to apply for the job.

Also make sure your advert contains as much detail as possible about required skills, desirable skills, holidays that kinda thing. Maybe also include a salary range for the role, ads that displayed salary expectations were more likely to get a click from me than those that didn't.

A good directional aerial and a 4G/5G modem at first which will be a big limiting factor on where we can travel but eventually we'll go for Starlink or another satellite internet provider when they're no longer geofenced. I believe that there are plans for Starlink to support mobile installations in the next few years and honestly in a fair few places I've lived in recent years the 4G has been faster and more reliable than the ADSL or even FTTC connection anyway.

The long passages are only a part of the appeal too, a large motivation is being able to explore coastal places on land without the issue holidaying has of trying to cram in as much as possible before you go to back to work. Also being able to opt-out of the miserable grey British winter is a part of it too, even three months on a mooring bouy somewhere with longer days would make it worthwhile!
From what I've seen, if the interview doesn't include leetcode like questions, the hiring company usually gives you a take-home assignment or a timed project through a web app. Companies will sometimes pay you to do the take-home assignment (rare from my experience) and give a deadline (but not always). For a particular company, both, the take-home assignment or timed online project, are usually related to the job. Try looking for a company that doesn't do "whiteboarding"?

Finding people with too much free time is the entire point of leetcode. Companies want employees who will dedicate their life to their work. If you don't have time to grind leetcode employers feel that you won't have time to work 60 hours a week and spend your free time thinking about work.

> It's just as easy to argue that leetcode-style interviews are because companies are afraid of being discriminatory in hiring

From the hiring side, this is 100% correct. Giving everyone the same coding interview is one of the most effective ways to remove interviewer bias.

A lot of HN commenters advocate for a “just trust me” hiring process where they want the interviewer to just read their resume and have a quick chat to decide if the person should be hired, without any type of technical interview. That results in people hiring other people who are as similar to their own backgrounds as possible (everyone likes to think their own background and learning style is optimal).

We know LeetCode style tests aren’t perfect, but they’re repeatable and the study material is free and widely available.

> or give take home work (because it's discriminatory against people with time constraints)

IMO, this complaint is baseless. A lot of companies give the option of LeetCode style interviews or take-homes and almost everybody chooses the take-home.

The idea that someone can allocate several hours during their busy day for a live interview but somehow can’t find several hours during the week for a take-home doesn’t even make logical sense.
I make more 100k per year contracting for a bank and I've never done a leetcode interview. I'm not in Europe though but I think I could actually make more there because my specialty is more in demand.

I suspect leetcode and whiteboard interviews are a way for Asians in the US to select for other Asians. Also more powerful HR departments leads to more "objective" and metrics-based hiring practices.

To me this reads like you are saying that being half naked in front of kids is somehow problematic per se and should be avoided. Maybe this was a misunderstanding.

Either way, I don't really understand why you brought up the "kids" topic in the first place.
A better solution? We teach and encourage critical thinking, the difference between news / journalism and editorial, as well as some basic principles of data / statistics (e.g., the difference between causation and correlation). The media lacks understanding of all of these, do we sue them?

True story: Recently I was visiting my (80+ yr old) parents. They we watching The View. At one point, one of the hosts said (as they were talking about the pandemic) "If you're unvax'ed and get covid you're probably going to die."

Now obviously probably is subjective and ambiguous. But even if you said it was 1 in 5, that's simply not true. It's hyperbole. Or in my book, nonsense and/or bullshit. But it's "traditional media" so it gets a free pass? Do we sue news outlets for not actually providing news (i.e.,it's often editorial).

Using the courts is fine. But those with the most to lose will naturally be the biggest target. On the other hand, basic critical thinking skills will have across the board benefits. But maybe that's not what the powers that be want? Ignorant and confused is much easier to handle, yes?

No, that's a completely different game, with different mechanics and a very different feeling. Threes feels more slow and methodical and 2048 feels more fluid and slidey.
