Hey, I'm Sasha, CTO @ Teleport. I have designed our interview process and have described it here:

https://goteleport.com/blog/coding-challenge/

We are also trying to be as transparent as possible with our challenges being open source:

https://github.com/gravitational/careers/tree/main/challenge...

and requirements being published here:

https://github.com/gravitational/careers/blob/main/levels.pd...

I am sorry to hear that you had bad experience. Our interview process is a trade-off and has one big downside - it may take more time and efforts compared to classic interviews. It could also feel disappointing if the team does not vote in favor of the candidate's application.

However, if there was something else wrong with your experience and you are willing to share, please send me an email to sasha@goteleport.com.

Even if you assign the copyright to a human and not a machine, you need a minimal amount of creativity to qualify for copyright, eg phone books can't be copyrighted. A "phone book" of every melody of a certain length is probably(?) not copyrightable either.

I checked out all of Alfred Morgan's books from multiple public libraries (a platform accessible by children!!!) in the seventies and early eighties. Probably saw the golden book of chemistry experiments at some point too - it looked very familiar when I got a copy of the pdf as an adult. I think the difficulty of obtaining model T spark coils, chemicals ("ask your druggist") etc kept me out of a lot of trouble.
Spotify seems designed to over-reward the high volume artists at the expense of the little guy assuming I understand their model correctly.

Current:

totalMoney x (totalListenTimeForArtist/totalListenTime)

imo the sensible system looks like:

PerUserMoney x (PerUserListenTimeForArtist/TotalUserListenTime)

ie distribute each users subscription (minus fees) across the artists they list to so they don't just get dominated by big/popular music on repeat
It sounds like you're assuming that they actually have any copyright on this. They don't. It's not identical but see: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30702117 for some similar issue.

And in general, you must be "creative" to have a copyright. You might have a "copyright" on the resulting file, but no court would ever dream of extending that to a claim of copyright on every melody. There is no way that the author was "creative" in any sort of proportion to the amount of material being putatively claimed. Normally one would expect for this to then start a big HN chain arguing the precise definition of "creativity per unit output" that is the threshold, but in addition to the fact you have to get a court to agree to your definition, bear in mind that this is quite literally exponentially little creative effort per output. The author has put in so little effort per output that they haven't even listened to their own "work" once, I'm sure! This is not the normal definition of a "creative work". The usual arguments will be based around a polynomial at most, and frankly usually linear amount of output per "creative input". Especially in light of the fact that the lifespan of a given "creative human being" isn't even "linear" so much as "constant".

Given that this is only a very small amount of effort from being able to claim all combinations of notes ever, it's clear this is not a copyrightable work, excepting perhaps the literal output of the work but no more than that.

(It's also not that much more work to order these things in entropy order, by analyzing songs and deriving some probability for note lengths and intervals, making it so that one could just start generating melodies and actually hit almost every useful melody in an even "smaller" work. Also not copyrightable.)

So, basically, don't learn anything about copyright from this article.

I’m surprised this is still a complaint, for two reasons. First, many major apps don’t bother having a native look and instead have their own skins. Second, Windows is such a mess that it no longer has an obvious standard look and feel anymore. This has been shown here recently screenshots. Microsoft’s own products, when not using custom skins, are using any of several “native” toolkits with their own aesthetics. None of them are particularly interesting so if it isn’t for consistency, there isn’t a strong reason to imitate any of them.
I do believe self-hosting is the future, this is why I changed the business model for my web analytics platform[0] from self-hosted + cloud to self-hosted only. By focusing purely on self-hosting, I can touch on many aspects that companies that promote their cloud offerings don't (server maintenance, monitoring, backups, alerting, etc.). This also forces the clients to give self-hosting a try if they want to use the app.

There used to be lots of little hydro plants in the U.S. The problem is dis-economies of scale once there is a large-scale power grid. (So a little hydro plant no longer has a local monopoly.) If river you're damming up has (say) 1/50 of the Colorado River's flow rate at Hoover Dam, and 1/20 of the ~500 foot head (meaning how far the water level drops at the dam), then you've got 1/(50 * 20) of the potential power generation of Hoover Dam - or about 2 megawatts. Which is worth ~$100 per hour on the wholesale market. To get that, you have to build and maintain a dam, a spillway, turbines, generators, a grid connection, etc., etc. Oh - and also buy the land that will be flooded by water behind the dam.

I was a heavy GitLab CI/CD user till a couple of weeks ago when I switched jobs. Loved it for the 3 1/2 years I was a user. Sometimes a bit tricky to set up and understand (especially after we switched the executors to docker-in-docker, was a pain to figure out), but once it's running it goes off without a hitch and runs very reliably. My new position entails Github, I can give a comparison in a couple of months when I'm acclimated.

EDIT: I see there are people down-thread that are discussing the SAAS version, ours was a on-site deployment so we could pretty much just spin up more iron if the executors were straining.
I don’t think it’s “obviously different”. A generation ago people said the same thing about depression and suicidal ideation: you can control it yourself. Just be happy.

It’s a lovely sentiment for those of us who don’t suffer from it because it makes us feel like we are immune from the problem. It could never happen to us because we have the mental fortitude to overcome it. It’s a nice thought but it’s nonsense.
If I'm not mistaken, though, the discussion here isn't about the Russia versus Ukraine conflict itself, but about appropriate ways to show support for a political cause in general, and whether it's even appropriate to do so in particular contexts. On that meta-issue, I think it's possible to state an opinion, without implying any position on the conflict of the moment. And if I'm not mistaken, some people are saying that it's obligatory to state an opinion on the conflict of the moment; that's what some of us are disagreeing with.
Sounds like mercurial :)
Ask HN: What language/framework is easiest to deploy?
Rails, Django and Laravel usually take the cake on productivity. But they're not particularly easy to deploy.

If you were optimizing for deployment speed, what would you use? Install PHP and FTP files to the server? Install Docker and containerize your app?
Not sure. First I thought you did sarcasm, but it seems, you are actually serious.

Well then, when you have lots of solar and wind fields, then it doesn't matter too much, if one gets destroyed. But even those you can defend, even with your own troops, by making adequate contracts.

On the other hand, if you have to rely on nuclear - then a potentiell enemy only needs to target those and you are screwed in many ways. It would be not too hard, for a dedicated commando to blow up, or at least render useless, a nuclear reactor with enough preparation.

But when you are only thinking in military terms: the hard parts to defend with dessert power are the power cabels. But they are also an essential part of nuclear plants and you cannot defend the whole grid.

While it's unreasonable to expect europeans to freeze to death to protect ukranians, I think there's a middle ground between "business as usual" and "protect ukraine at all costs" that's not being considered here. Specifically, turning the temperature down to 5-10°C and wearing a coat. I doubt you'll be freezing to death in those circumstances. Is there widespread effort by europeans to do this? If not, then the parent's is still mostly correct: europeans are not willing to endure slight discomfort to prevent "giving money to the Russian government which will be used to kill Ukrainians".

What I love about this is back in the archaic days when car radios had (mechanical) radio buttons, that was the introductory example of a tiny state machine. They were also used in other devices but the car radio was the application everybody had seen.

Nowadays I imagine only a small proportion of people who deploy "radio buttons" have even seen such a car radio, so the metaphor is now empty, like the floppy disk icon for "save".
Heyy! Thank you very much for designing age. It's fantastic. And thank you for making it open source and your continued work!

I wasn't aware that there is widespread support in other languages. I'll have to look into it. The ideal state IMHO would be age support in the standard library of most popular languages, or at least as ubiquitous support as for instance OpenSSL.

My concrete suggestions to make age as ubiquitous as OpenPGP and OpenSSL, would be:

- Better documentation: The age GitHub page and the man page are geared towards the CLI tool, and not the use as a library. There are no examples for other languages and not even a link to rage or the FFI examples you mentioned. Maybe make a website or a mkdocs documentation showing examples, something like this [1] (disclaimer: this is mine)

- Officially supported libraries in other languages: This one is tough, because it's hard work. But maybe if you create a CONTRIBUTING.md document and ask for people to step forward, they will. List out the languages you want to support and specifically call out that you're looking for help.

Once again, thanks for creating age. Much appreciated!!

[1] https://ntfy.sh/docs/publish/

Edit: I could not find instructions on how to use age/rage with Python or JS. Can you point me to them?
Disagree. We had hex editors, we were used to looking at assembly and machine code. This could absolutely have been discovered if someone had looked. Oh, and the encryption was a simple XOR.
We all may have questions for you on some of your descriptions and choices. None of that should take away from the fact that this is a pretty impressive stage for a 30-month open source project.

Have not seen the participants - how many contributors do you have?
Yes of course it would cover that hypothetical situation, as I said in my comment, but it would still be ridiculous in general conversation to say "GDPR does require that businesses get consent before using fridge magnets" without specifying "if personal data is involved".
I think the person concerned is taking zero personal risk by displaying a view that is backed up by 99% all of media (even if no 99% of all people).

If they had a banner saying "Trump 2024" or "The AZOV Battalion are Nazis" I might not agree with them, but at least they are taking some personal risk of cancellation.
Unlikely, at least for Rust.
As long as we're pushing preferred narratives (in your case: public health measures = bad), maybe it's because hospitals and treatment rooms were full of unvaccinated individuals and people who declined to social-distance or wear masks, preventing alcoholics in distress from getting the acute treatments they need. Certainly a lot of cancer patients died that way[1][2][3][4][5].

I know a lot of people who took advantage of the pandemic to sort out their lives, including getting sober. Public health authorities from day 1 were taking into account the affects of lockdowns on mental health, thankfully following the evolving science instead of internet conspiracy theories.

Accessibility is so overlooked, while some native UI toolkits provide at least a passable default accessibility implementation.

Just provide do-notation and be done with it. Operators for specific instantiations of a much broader abstract concept always irks me. This path leads to the hell of special purpose operators for a closed set of concrete use-cases.

Of course, any digitally representable artform can be enumerated this way. What's special is that melodies have low enough entropy that it's actually practical to create them all, which isn't the case with (say) movies or novels. And that low entropy is also why spurious similarities occur, as when huge pop stars are accused of plagiarising some band with 200 soundcloud followers.
No, it needs to do that. When you click the mouse down outside the button, then enter the button area and release, you do not want to fire. So you need those extra states.

We definitely saw more crypto transaction flows going in to these regions following the current situation. But one challenge to greater adoption is the off-ramping from crypto back to fiat currencies which is largely done online by centralized exchanges such as Coinbase and Binance.

Best case is if you keep all transactions in crypto, which can then be entirely managed P2P. Compromise case is P2P trading for fiat money, which may impact your rates but is better than nothing. Otherwise, you're at the mercy of the centralized exchanges that are in turn limited by compliance and regulatory considerations.

Unless the entire world suddenly decides to adopt crypto (unlikely), the fiat component will be a major challenge for greater usage.

So about 3-4 days of work as an entry-level Facebook developer, or 3-3.5 weeks of work at a McDonalds (based on every fast-food place around me having billboards up offering starting wages of $18-20/hr).

Getting access to emergency life-saving treatment, which leverages billions of dollars in research & development and hours of work from a team of doctors, radiologists, nurses, pharmacists, support staff, etc in exchange for being asked to contribute back to society by cooking burgers for a month feels like a pretty amazing offer compared to how almost all humans have existed in history and most still do around the world today.

No, electrons existed as far back as we can model, but they were accompanied by an almost equal quantity of anti-electrons (positrons).

As long as the temperature was high enough, there was a balance between annihilation reactions of electrons and positrons and generation of electron-positron pairs.

After the temperature decreased a lot, much lower than the temperature where the protons and all the neutrons that had not decayed yet had combined into nuclei of helium and lithium, all the positrons annihilated with most of the electrons, so only a much smaller number of electrons survived.

After further cooling, most of the electrons became bound to nuclei, and all the matter became plasma, like most of the matter in the present universe still is (because most of the matter is inside the stars).
I wonder, how much of this could be attributed to attrition and gap in knowledge base created when key engineers of the related team have left.

I feel like some companies that have dropped business in russia will simply be replaced internally by some Russian company which breaks more ties with the west. Also wouldn't it also mean that profits would stop going to the west and those Russian companies could in the long run generate more revenue within russia. Or maybe the long run is irrelevant with the crisis.

> do you mean not every tests positive for seroconversion months after infection

This wasn't your point but I'm trying to see whether this is accounted for in the study. I don't think it is, unless I missed something.

The study's self-reported long COVID group is people who in the past 4 weeks experienced any symptoms that had been ongoing for 8+ weeks. If these infections were 8+ weeks ago, these people would probably be seronegative anyway. To put it another way, seronegativity now doesn't rule out an infection 2+ months ago, so for some of these people their belief that they had COVID may match reality more than this article implies.

I don't know if there is a way to reliably identify a 2+ month old infection but I think you would need that to be able to say anything definitive about the linkage.
It is useful because you don't want to fire when you click and hold outside the button, then enter the button area, then release. So, when you release inside the button, you must know whether you clicked inside or outside the button. Thus you need those states. I think.

Historically network and graphics drivers (and maybe sound?), and sleep mode were the things to check for Linux support. These days, all three major graphics manufacturers have Linux drivers, and I haven't heard any problems with networking for a long time. Sleep is probably still an issue... And most everything is already included for you (networking, sound, graphics) on the motherboard. So just check how good Linux support is for the motherboard you'd like to buy (and any PCI cards you'll add, if any).
