"One common misconception I keep seeing is the idea that the interview result revolves around solving the question."

Candidates know this.

The issue is:

Interviewers who do their job, and build a broad based picture of a developer's skills and give fair ratings, are rare.

The perception is 75% interviewers don't even bother. They're tired, they're unmotivated.

Their annual bonus doesn't reflect "conducts fair and balanced job interviews."

They underclock their brain to 10% of its maximum, and at the end of the hour look at how shiny and perfect the piece of code at the end is.

Despite whatever the intentions of the system, I don't think anyone has ever hired a candidate with a messy code who spoke and reasoned well.

My extremely strong perception, having never conducted a big tech company interview, is that a candidate who submitted a shiny piece of clean code at the end of a technical interview will always be first pick. No matter how much they mumbled.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

A shiny perfect coding solution is a perfect image in the mind of the interviewer.

Interviewers are human, fallible people. When they're doing the end of day calibration on interview performance, having a shiny perfect solution changes their perception of a candidate utterly.
I'm having trouble even following what you're saying here. A cryptographically-relevant quantum computer breaks all conventional elliptic curve cryptography, not just NSA's backdoor. Everything we're talking about is irrelevant if NSA can break curves with quantum computers.
I'm honestly surprised at the amount of pushback against part time work in this thread. When you hire a consultant or contract labor, isn't that basically what you are doing? Bringing in part time labor?

I think a lot of the complaints about it not scaling well (need to pay for two healthcare plans for two part time employees vs 1 full time, etc) also don't make any sense. Isn't money fungible? Who cares who exactly is in charge of the chunk of money that gets spent on healthcare for the employee at the time? Just pay people in cash just like you would another small business you are contracting with, and let the employee use a portion of that cash flow to pay for their healthcare and other benefits programs, just like what happens with the small business you contract with. The rate they quote you to pay them should therefore be including both the cost of their labor and their overhead. In other words, treat these employees like independent small businesses, and all the hand wringing and consternation should just melt away. And who knows, maybe these employees will really run with this small business consultancy model and build and expand their business in their own right.
It's the goal I read from the comment I was responding to:

> This perception that ordinary people should be immune to the actions of their governments is weird. Civilian opposition to their government is what prevents unnecessary wars. It's not other's duty to fix your country. Civil unrest is the only way to prevent war and a lot of bloodshed.

i have never seen more stupid propaganda all at once than in the last week.

this is what you call and 'intellectual internationalist' form of propaganda for idiots.

oh yes, let's just disband the security counsel, that way we can rely on generals in stead of statesmen and diplomats to discuss in a very civil and calm manner how to plan to NOT have nuclear war between nuclear armed nations.

whatever you call the u.n. it is a bullshit corrupted formality.
the u.n. is useless.
the only thing of signficance is a forum for civil discussion between NON overtly military states-craft experts---to discuss the prevention of nuclear war.
beause once they stop-----the generals begin discussing how to trick one another into being vulnerable to nuclear war, while their war planners prepare.

it is as if the moron propagandists of the world would have everyon believe nuclear war is impossible and that no, of course, superpowers could have limited direct combat without risking nuclear escalation.

yes....why not. why not dumb down our own populations this much. nothing bad could result.
That's because they were usually getting them at a substantial discount or were whitewashing rubles into hard currency. No point in reversing that again.
Respectfully, I think you're a little lost here.
The article says that our sun will go red giant in 7 billion years, so the earth will exist in 5 billion years to see the merger.

However, the sun will grow in energy output until going red giant, so the planet will be uninhabitable by then.

Good intentions, terrible execution (if implemented).

This is communism for social currency. In fact, I'll wager this will develop and become _the_ modern form of communism in the next decade or two (in the US/West), provided the following remains true:

We (continue to) live in an a world of abundant material resources. And, we (continue to) live in a world of limited social resources (and likely always will).

Anyways, my thoughts on the matter as musician/composer. The people that deserve to be in an orchestra are the ones who work the hardest towards achieving goal, and have the talent to fulfill the requirements of that position. It is an incredibly competitive, limited position and would be massively unfair if people were favored/unfavored for admission because of the color of their skin (hmmm...).

I think that would create a lot inter-orchestra tension (which is already sky high because of how competitive it is[0]). Decades of sweat equity will be thrown out the door (most start playing while still a single digit in age). 45% or more of classical musicians end up leaving the career because they cant earn enough money to survive. [1] It's already an impossible discipline to succeed in, regardless of your background.

It is deplorable to shift and count colored beans on an abacus to keep track of an organizations social currency, particularly when that organization has blind admissions. There is not a non-obsessive, wont-be-abused-by-those-who-count way to implement such a gate keeper. Blind auditions solve all these problems, and bring together the most talented people in the world to work together for the benefit of every member of the audience, without the racist undertones.

[0] I used to play with Juilliard musicians. They have plenty of horror stories to tell, such as the time when the NYC Phil woodwinds tallied mistakes made by other musicians during practice. Or when one of the famous string quartets' members refused to stay in the same hotel together.

Unprovoked?

Ukraine has been shelling Russian military installations for months and current government is openly hostile towards Russia, wants to join Nato and Zelenskyy called for Nuclear armament of his country.

Think if this was a situation in Canada. How long would the US tolerate Canadian government being openly hostile to the US. Employing the kids of Russian officials. Asking Russia for Nuclear arms and military aid. And openly shelling Alaska.

The Donetsk region of Ukraine doesn't want to be part of it
Large parts of Ukraine are ethnically Russian and voted in past for the pro Russian candidates.

This is a regional conflict with global implications. But the more the world gets sucked into it. The longer the suffering for everyone.
Whether it's a good idea or not doesn't matter.

Germany practices it.
I reckon some people have an inherent need to keep things inside Apple’s walked garden. I often see it becoming nothing short of an obsession.

For the rest I’d, as someone who gave it a try - almost their entire services suite including TV etc a thorough try, highly recommend to stay out.

Stay out even if they improve it (which I doubt) from its current state i.e. pathetic.

- Apple is a weird company but they are weird because they can afford to be weird in the way they are because they know their fan base (their majority/core users)

- Their software and services have revisions/major updates/upgrades tied with OS versions.

- Even across OS versions they so deliberately don’t add the most essential features and literally “hold back” as if they go completely deaf on user needs

- I believe it stems of a inferior software engineering prowess and a lack of confidence - that “let’s keep it for the next OS release” so that we announce on stage “For the first time in any iOS - you can control two SIMs separately - TrueSIM™ - or named something ridiculously absurd.

- They have repeatedly shown they’re not callous about user needs or feedback but they’re openly hostile to it.

- The “just works” smoke is very much cleared by now and they’re either just too incompetent or stupidly adamant still trying to ride the fan wave of “they know what we want” and fans giddily shoving everything down their own throats claiming as the best whatever Apple churned out. I skew towards the former though.

- Also they do not have real competition with other softwares, more so on iOS and iPadOS, unlike Android (which I develop for but am not a user of) you literally don’t have options of softwares for many basic usage.

- Now one can argue they like it that way - I don’t. They have anyway such a locked down App Store - not letting users choose browser, SMS apps etc is just a poor excuse that they can somehow get away with.

I would just treat them as a device seller and keep my software and services from other competent places. Besides I like my eggs in various baskets.

The last thing I want is my email from a provider which 100% coupled with devices from one manufacturer that is locked down like never before in history and their locking users out puts Google’s famous locking out to shame.
I never said that the US was "occupying" all countries it has bases in. For the countries mentioned, they are definitely occupied. The governments are okay with it because they are subordinate to the US. Also, two of the three countries mentioned the United States defeated in war and has been occupying ever since.
> China doesn't also really seem to want any part of this drama. They're being dragged in because historically they're an ally of Russia

Historically China is a quasi enemy of Russia.

Russia was plotting to nuke China in 1969 over their border conflict. They have rarely liked eachother and are not traditional allies.

Yeah, and didn't you realise most countries in the world despise America?

Keep in mind the non-American perspective.
As someone who's liked using DI frameworks, I'm curious: if you do it manually, as your codebase gets large, doesn't it get harder to "plumb" a new object that needs to get used somewhere at a deep level? This seems like it'd get more unwieldy when refactoring.

I've never worked in a large codebase that did this manually so I'm not sure what it looks like. The large codebases I've seen that don't use DI have used something like a service locator, singletons, or constructed everything where it was needed (and used extensive mocking framework functionality for testing).

I think their point was that a lot of code isn't very good, even without being obfuscated. Unless you're implying that unintentional obfuscation of that nature could trigger those clauses?
These days you could dump your content, and get an ai to template it.
I think another part of it is that rarely are you employed to do one single thing for 8 hours a day. So yes, I do only have 4 productive hours a day for this one project, because I am spending the other hours focused on the other projects and tasks laid in my lap by my employer.
this is true, but so is the US, and as everybody keeps pointing out, how much better your military is doesn't really matter when it comes to conflicts between nuclear nations.
People seem to think that it’s easy to create a SWIFT alternative (one that gains acceptance) and that Putin is logging into Coinbase to buy bitcoin.
Neither is going to happen.
rr doesn't need or use checkpoint/restore functionality. it's insufficient because rr already needs to catch and emulate all syscalls made by a process, and unnecessary because once you're doing that it's (relatively) easy to also emulate getpid. it also requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN or CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.
Isn't their military made up largely of Russian conscripts? Hurt the ordinary Russians to hurt the Russian military's morale to make Ukraine have more of a fighting chance.
> I've always been curious, whether any popular systems made good use of US/RS/GS/FS.

That can't be done; the concept of a "record separator" character already assumes that there is a value that can't occur within the data. If you play along with that, you're not making good use of anything.

You're better off using commas and being forced to constantly confront the fact that tons of data contains commas than using a byte value that hides the problem slightly better than commas do.

Where Putin Goes from Here
I started with them a couple times, and will try again.

The first time, after several years of working with Python, I missed the dynamic data structures like lists and dictionaries. Open arrays work pretty well, but Pascal still requires a lot of overhead to set things up compared to `d = {}`.

The next time I got a bit further with it, but I remember everything being just slightly different enough that I had to dig for examples and documentation to do simple things I used to do easily in Delphi. I think I got some of my old graphics programs working but there was enough friction that I lost interest and moved on.

But its worth giving it another shot since I have a lot of old Pascal code I'd like to play with again, and knowing about these difficulties going in I might do a better job next time.

What I like about Nim is the terse syntax similar to Python, and the more dynamic data structures like sequence, but also the typing similar to Pascal and the compiling to executable thanks to C. I like the V language too for its batteries-included nature, but haven't gotten far enough with it yet to tell if I will stick with it. The docs are a good start, but they only have Discord for a community and that is hard to work with.
The way you've been posting is horrific.

Yes I can see why you would say that, however I wouldn't go as far as saying "solved". Personally, I certainly can't hear the difference between the real thing and a (good) simulation, but are we sure that if you give a Hammond to Dr. Lonnie Smith, he won't be able to tell the difference? I reckon he would.
This could be a play to force a mediated settlement. Playing on the fear of a nuclear escalation to force mediation by the NATO/China. A similar occurrence happened in the 1980s with South Africa's nuclear weapons.

Unfortunately as the second largest nuclear power acting as a belligerent, such a threat could plausibly draw NATO directly into the conflict. I don't see a world where a country uses nukes in Europe without triggering a full NATO response. I also don't see a world where NATO negotiates under nuclear threat, to do so would present a long-term risk that Russia believes NATO will cave to nuclear threats and pushes the issue again.
My first reaction was "which part is being questioned, the doomsday device's existence or the willingness to use it?" such an absurd situation we are all in now. Anyways, maybe the poster is referring to deadhand?

Even the strongest proposed sanctions against the Russia's financial systems carve out provisions for paying for fuel. And I suspect some of Europe will buy, and Russia will sell, because it'll need to buy certain Western goods.

(If you read The War With Newts, you can compare it to the European nations still selling drilling equipment to the newts when they were used it to destroy the Europe's very land.)
A lot of consulting is done for 1-3 month sprints. It's often (neither always or for all people, but for many people much of the time) a lot mentally easier to work full time on a project for a month to six than to work for 20 hours a week on a project all of the time.

I'm a full time part time consultant and try to arrange my schedule for weeks at at time with individual customers, even if I do some small work as hours at a time.
If I worked somewhere with 10 hours a week needed for meetings and plannings I would quit.

Who cares if they have 6 jobs, that’s not for you to worry about.

If they get good work done on your project and skip the extra meetings, they’re worth keeping around.

What should they quit over climate change? The earth? Is there a specific nation like Russia people can avoid for climate change? You're comparing apples and eggs here.

People should quit BP? Because what? Exxon or Shell are so much better for the environment?

Do you know why there is so much Russia-quitting? Because there is political incentive to do so. There is nowhere near the same amount of unity and consensus among voters of democraric nations when it comes to climate change. It's not the politicians fault either. Inability to convince fellow voters (for whatever underlying reason) is what you should be blaming. It's easy to blame politicians and corporations, that way, you can blame someone and not have to do anything about it.

The most effective way to networking is to have a "networking wingman". Going solo as an introvert sounds pretty easy on paper but you never can do it. You fear that the moment you say "hi" to a group they will roll their eyes because you disrupted their flow. So having a wingman will work miracle.

You can bring a friend or you can chat up someone you are comfortable with and ease them into playing the role of a wingman.

I think this actually has much less to do with "protecting" the stock market (as discussed in comments), than protecting the ruble. Because for sure the majority of foreign investors will want to sell their securities ASAP and exit the market in USD, not rubles. And therefore that'll create a large pressure on the ruble.

This is a misled effort which is doomed to fail.

1. A healthy nonzero vacancy rate of 5-10% reduces landlord pricing power. Unnaturally low vacancy rates work against tenants, not for them.

2. Did you know that rental properties which have been re-leased, but for which the tenant has taken occupancy within the last 15 days, are considered “vacant?” There are many other data problems like this — renovations, family homes, etc. Vacancy rates under 5% indicate essentially no available housing.

The solution has been obvious since the 1970s. It’s time to stop futzing around and build housing at the rate of population growth.
If this tool becomes too publicized, is there a risk that they stop being so open over the public airwaves? I worry that this will turn into a World War II situation where a US Congressman publicized classified information about how US subs were evading Japanese anti-sub weapons. The Japanese quickly adjusted their tactics once this classified info was shared then began more successfully killing US troops.

I think it is worthwhile to share the tool with the right people who can put it to use but perhaps be careful about letting it become too well-known. I don't know...I think this situation is worth discussing here.
