Ask HN: Twitter front end interview experience
I cannot find any information on what an interview looks like for a frontend engineer at Twitter

I am interviewing for a frontend position at Twitter (London) and have not been able to find any information so as to what i should prepare for.

I have scoured Reddit, Twitter, Linkedin, Blind and Glassdoor

The recruiter ghosted me after setting up an interview time and sending me a Hackerrank link and a Google Jamboard link. Since its hackerrank, it could be a DSA round or a machine coding round. I dont know what to prepare

Can any Twitter frontend dev looking at this please tell me what rounds does Twitter take

Also, please make sure that folks who are interviewing at your company get this information straightforward

Thank you
Agreed. Multipass seemed great until I had to fight against networking. I switched to Colima and haven't had a problem since.
Sure, but that doesn't mean he can redefine terms. He can't both change the license and claim it's compliant with that license. That contradiction exists regardless of his ownership of the project.
The upgrade procedure doesn't even transfer historical data, so you're going to lose all year-over-year comparisons.
You make way less money than your peers in California and everything is still as expensive. It's a financially horrible decision if you can work in the US. If you want to work in Europe though it's pretty good.

I've worked at FAANG in US and UK and am currently going back to the US for non-financial reasons. I don't regret being here but I find London to be impossibly expensive to build a family in.
And one more thing... you are doing yourself a monumental disservice making the process invite only. I saw the teaser problem being bad when I made the comment, but wow... there is no porn here. What it ends up being is a glorified Twitter feed of a lot of different onlyfans girls. And a porn app that is neither porn nor an app is not a good product. Allow user submissions, keep track of likes, and make it an app - the content will improve dramatically.

Sorry if this is harsh, but I don't think I will be using this site again in the future if it stays like this.
Does it? Is the alternative really that much better, or do people blame it for things it doesn't cause as an excuse to not pay for it?

If I look into this argument, am I going to find research supporting the idea that, counterintuitively, taking away public housing helps these problems? Or am I going to find real estate developers pushing a narrative to rationalize taking from the poor, selling to the rich, and making tons of money by doing so?

I agree with you but This is a consequence not an active decision. Digital advertising is highly profitable. If we want less ads and trackers, make that not so with a heavy advertising revenue tax. Wordle would never have gone viral with even a $1/month paywall. People (writ large) don't care about privacy and have embraced the ad model. I think a patron based system is the best avenue forward for indie content given where we are now. People will balk at a subscription for anything that is free today.
Good to read, real value for businesses and true expectations for development teams.
I don't think there is a tradeoff. Not all actions constitute speech. Supporters of Russian actions should be able to spout off their horrible thoughts, but that doesn't mean companies the need to sell their goods or services to Russia. The two categories of acts aren't the same.
Yeah, an economist made an educated guess years ago that he might be worth $200B if he took half of the fortune of every oligarch in Russia or else they would suffer the fate of Mikhail Khodorkovsky in a prison in Siberia.

Even if Putin is worth $200B that wouldn't make him the wealthiest man in the world, since Elon Musk is worth almost $230B... but since no one really knows how much is Putin worth, for all we know he could be worth $500B.
The way wordle was coded, the solutions and guesses word lists were nonoverlapping. When you guessed a word it would check it against both lists. So when NYT removed words from the solutions list they should have added them to the guesses word list so they could still be guessed, but they didn't. An easy mistake to make with an unfamiliar codebase.

I know a guy who went there (McMurdo in Antartica) the year after this happened (so similar situation - there is only one doctor that needs to do everything for everyone). Again, you're there for a long time and there is no help coming if you have a problem in the middle of winter.

Before you go, they do as much as possible to ensure you won't have medical issues once you get there. One of the things is that they strongly suggest you get your wisdom teeth taken out. The guy I know did so a few weeks before leaving.

It turns out that his dentist was less than competent and he left parts of the tooth in the gum during extraction. So he gets to McMurdo, starts having really bad pain in his mouth, goes to the doctor and is told that his mouth is infected and teeth will need to be extracted.

The doctor reassured his patient with the words "Don't worry! I once took a one-day course in dentistry!"

You don't have to be highly productive to deserve a house, you just have to be net positive productive.

I don't think anyone (well some people) is against society extending a credit to help people get back on their feet, but the issue is that historically it just becomes net negative producers now being even more negative by virtue of having a living space paid for with little signs of improvement. The credit just gets written off as a compounding loss.

I suggest watching Soft White Underbelly on YT, he does tons of homeless interviews and outreach trying to get people back on their feet. The solution is definitely not "just throw houses and therapy at the problem"

No relation to this project. Just wanted to chime in to say that KDE's Kate editor pulled its Flatpak because the sandboxing makes much of the system integration (terminal, git, language servers) hard or impossible.

A Flatpak may have to ship with an independent copy of a lot of basic developer tools, and even then I don't know whether I want two different versions of git access the same local repository with a chance of incompatible repository formats.
Off-topic, but the scroll behaviour is weird. 1 click on my scroll wheel gives me 1 slide of scroll, but more clicks don't give me more slides unless I stop and pause. If I keep scrolling manually for a really long time (the entire length of my hand, about 25 clicks over about 7 seconds) then I still only get 1 slide of scroll. If I flick the wheel really fast then it scrolls by about 1 slide every 500ms. I can't work out the logic.
How is it virtue signalling tho? These heaters do waste a lot. I find it a hard argument tackle other sources and not this is because they are used less.
It's like putting emission regulations on most cars except SUV's only because they're less common in Europe.
I see a paper with this many graphs and you know that they are completely missing the point. They have tried to measure a phenomenon based on a reductive description of the problem. Defining "homelessness" to mean "not living in a house" means that you cluster a huge amount of people into that category, and you end up trying to solve a different problem.

I'm all for increasing housing supply to drive down the cost of housing, but that's a completely different problem. That solution may drive down your metrics of "homelessness" but it's obvious that a different solution is necessary to address the "visible homeless".

I bought a house in the northeast last winter with 2 huge ash trees in the backyard. Come early spring I noticed a woodpecker would go to town on them every morning. Closer inspection showed tons of tiny little holes throughout from Emerald Ash Borers and the trees had to come down to the tune of $7k. Bonus costs because the woodpecker returned in the fall and decided the next best thing to the now-missing trees was my house’s wood siding…

Turns out lots of new home buyers and realtors are bringing arborists along for home inspections because this is so common here (especially for winter purchase where you can’t tell if the tree has leaves). Will definitely do that next time!

Sure but that’s a pretty narrow use case in the grand scheme of things. I’m not saying NO ONE does it, but compare it to, say, New York City. People go there for specific things not just to see big tall buildings. Certain restaurants, certain landmarks, certain parks, etc. And for the vast majority of people, yankee stadium isn’t really a consideration. Does that make sense?
Yeah, those junkie 5 year olds really ought to take responsibility for their actions. I really hope you're trolling.

Parts of the piece I'd have hoped would be reflected in the discussion:

> First, the people sleeping on the street only represent a subset of the total population of people experiencing homelessness. In the 2020 count, chronic homelessness (what policy makers call being homeless for at least a year and living with some kind of physical or mental disability, including mental illness, a chronic health condition, and substance use disorder) accounted for less than 30 percent of the homeless cases in King County, while the chronic unsheltered population made up less than 17 percent of total cases. Second, we know that mental health and drug use can be both a cause of homelessness and a consequence. The trauma associated with homelessness is significant; that drug use and mental illness might result from this experience is not surprising. Research confirms this relationship.

> Despite this complexity, the fundamental question remains: Does variation in rates of these individual risk factors like poverty explain variation in rates of homelessness witnessed across the country? In other words, do we have more homelessness in Seattle because we have more poor people or more drug users? Our research suggests the answer is no.

There follow some supporting graphs, etc.

> Individual risk factors help account for who in a given city might lose their housing at any given point in time, but housing markets—rents and vacancy rates—set the context in which those risk factors are expressed. Without looking at housing markets, you can’t explain why Seattle has a much higher rate of homelessness than Chicago, Minneapolis, or Dallas. The fundamental conclusion is that the consequences of individual vulnerabilities are far more severe in locations with less accommodating housing markets.

> and that the primary risk once the economy reaches full employment is inflation, which can be addressed by gathering taxes to reduce the spending capacity of the private sector.

I don't understand this. Increasing taxes reduces the spending power of the individuals who pay the taxes. But that taxed money doesn't evaporate. The government spends it or redistributes it. It ultimately makes its way back into the private sector.
No. More like "You shouldn't whine about the C infrastructure unless you're planning to replace it with something better."
Hi. I am Anton Babenko, maintainer (ukrainian by heart) here. I have updated the wording in README to state the facts about Russia (facts with links to wikipedia) - https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-eks#a...

Here's a link to some docs about how code health is calculated: https://codescene.io/docs/guides/technical/code-health.html

In simple terms we try to measure cognitive complexity of source code.

A more in-depth description of one of the factors:
https://codescene.com/blog/bumpy-road-code-complexity-in-con...
This is indeed something that the academic research paper (see https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.04374) identifies as Future Work. There could be a code familiarity component that explains the large risks and variations.

From the paper:
"Could it be that changes done by the main author are faster and more predictable than corresponding changes made by a minor contributor? We suspect that author experience could be a factor that impacts the predictability of changes to low quality code."

If that turns out to be the case, then it would highlight organizational dimensions of low quality code: key personnel dependencies and on-boarding challenges.
When I play the role of mentor, I like to reverse that relationship as often as possible. I’ve learned a tremendous amount from being a mentor because I’m just as open to being mentored by my mentee.

I find that relationships break down too quickly if they are only one directional. And I wasn’t born fully formed with a big book of answers I could refer to whenever I needed.

It’s also a good form of training. It’s hard to be mentored and it’s hard to be a mentor. If I make the relationships two sided, we both get to practice both sides…
Yeah, they do talk about that a lot. They talk a lot about a lot of things.

They just don't ever do any of them.
"It's not really practical if you need more than just a browser and command line right now to run a pure Fuchsia system."

I know people who work on sustainable & affordable housing as well as homelessness. It's generally understood that we need more housing. A lot more. And some huge fraction of the "unhoused" (?) is due to affordability (ever rising rents).

Confirming this folk theory with hard data and analysis will prove very useful in the ongoing policy battles.

(A lot of political hobbyists continue to mindlessly repeat value-based and morality tale stories, when simple economics explains quite a bit.)
If you're European it's one of the few options you've got. I find it odd though that people make so much less compared to their US counterparts. Does anyone know why that is?
> I believe that homelessness is only a housing problem for a percentage of people who are temporarily "down on their luck" and need a place to stay while they find a job.

I agree. (I'd change "only" to "mostly", but close enough.)

But I also recognize that people aren't born in whatever state they're in, and it seems apparent that getting into "down on your luck" homeless state is the first step into being part of the drug-addicted, mentally unstable homeless population.

Do you suppose those drug addicts were born addicted? Do you suppose no home owners are mentally ill? There has to be a path from largely functional, housed, and employed, to on the street, on drugs, and mentally unstable. Pretending such a path doesn't exist is comforting for those of us who haven't started down it, but it's certainly not going to give us an accurate understanding of the world.

Stop looking at a snapshot of people and look at the progression.
It also doesn't help that the last 2 books have not been good.

But, again, the OS isn't even the main problem. There are many orders of magnitudes more libraries that use the C ABI as their interface than what OSes provide through syscalls.

> I am interested in the actual subject of how policies and socioeconomic factors affect crime.

Nobody attacked you, no need for that performance.

Again, this is article about the prevailing political and media narrative of murder in Democratic-led locations being (at least partially) incorrect. If you want a study about how specific policies impact murder rates, this is not that study. No amount of complaining about this actual study will make it that hypothetical study.

In fact, I tried to find those studies for you in another thread and provided 3 examples of studies that connect actual policies to crime/murder. You refused to accept that information and your response was another string of questions and challenges. That leads me to believe (again) that you aren't interested in an actual discussion, but merely searching for more data to support your existing conclusion.
Pull review comments and approvals as well
I'm surprised by the point about pressurization... cabins do depressurize on ascent, but... marginally. Would a difference in a few thousand feet atmospheric pressure, equalized SLOWLY, really have been that big an issue?!
But that's not how the federal government is supposed to work? The whole point is for them to engage in redistributive policies, which means you inevitably have "never give back the net inflows they take". I'm sure economically unproductive areas (eg. rural areas) "never give back the net inflows they take from" economically productive areas (ie. major cities), but we don't give people living in cities a tax credit.

I think the main motivation for this in both Espoo and the neighbouring Helsinki is the cities' 2030 carbon neutrality pledges. From the data center's point of view, I wonder if the price they get paid for the heat is significant. Here's the public price list for recovered waste heat in Helsinki (around 30 EUR/MWh): https://www.helen.fi/en/companies/heating-for-companies/open...

In Helsinki, I'm already buying my certified zero-emission heat from a big 100MW heat pump station that uses waste water among its inputs. In June, they are also adding heat from a Telia data center as an input to the district heating system. They give some numbers too: "Using a heat pump, the data centre can produce at least 1.3 times the heat that it consumes as electricity." https://www.helen.fi/en/news/2021/konesalien-hukkal%C3%A4mm%...
