Exactly. How many states have been invaded by the USA and their allies? 50? 60?

Let’s decrease timeframe only to this century. Is it 20+ or less?

Right now there’s at least 5 active invasions of NATO members against other states, but people get outraged only about one.

With double standards and double morals we’ll never achieve world peace.
Why not Linux?

I'd worry about stability and security in business context.
Keep in mind that the hiring and interview process is bi-directional: if one finds that the company to which one has applied potentially consists of terrible human beings, exit quickly and move on to the next opportunity (unless you are yourself a toxic influence, at which point the culture fit may very well be right).

I had to stop reading the article. Even if it might have some redeeming content further on, the title and first few paragraphs are preposterous.

I got an ADHD diagnosis as an adult, albeit before the pandemic. The diagnosis itself has been a huge revelation about many aspects of my life, my mind, several things I would never have understood as connected… and it saved my life.

I’m not “hooked” on adderall—at least not in the sense of a drug seeking addict. Nor am I “crazy”. I’m fucking chemically imbalanced. And no one who isn’t is going to feel calmed or feel their anxiety relieved by amphetamines.
how is it better than alternatives? this seems like a huge straw-man given almost every company that hires developers thinks they’re a large tech company and mimics their hiring process. it doesn’t seem like serious alternatives have been explored.
If it takes months to determine that someone is a bad fit for a team then the team has internal issues that need to be resolved.

Moreover, if someone has the skills on paper, and the references to support that, then any tech screening is unnecessary. It just tests for ability to pass tech screens.

> The negotiations on Tuesday, in particular, seemed to produce something that many, especially in the West, were eager to cling to as a ray of hope

No the west isnt hoping for a swift end. What for? Russia and any occupied terrotiry will be sanctioned forever, there will be constant guerilla warfare and this thing will drag on via other means. Instead it is now amping up the arming of ukrainians (they must have started receiving US weapons this week)

That's only because you spent thousands having candidates go through 7 interviews.
I strongly dislike the combination of php and MySQL, from the (recent) experiences I’ve had with it. I don’t see a good reason to pick that as a greenfield stack, but I could be convinced otherwise.
30 might be too much but it also depends somewhat on the probability of success. 100 hrs practicing leetcode + systems design for a 2% chance at a FAANG seems a worse trade off than 30hrs researching an interesting subject for a presentation with an 80% chance of success. Problem is you don’t know what your chances are with the latter going in but I think it would be a fair question to ask.
At least half of them are Indian, in my experience.
I was interviewing with companies last Fall and got a homework assignment project where I could pick from 3 different problems. I am not big on companies giving me 30 minutes and expecting hours of investment in return but I figured I would look into these problems to see if they were worth solving.

I literally copied the questions verbatim into a search and found the solution to all 3 all over GitHub in multiple languages. How is this an appropriate evaluation? Certainly a candidate could simply copy the answer in their chosen language, tweak the structure a bit and call it their answer.

I contacted their recruiter and told them I was no longer interested in interviewing. I told them I couldn't take them seriously since all they did to invest in the interview process was to steal questions from other hiring managers.

If a company wants an efficient, honest and quality interview process it needs to go both ways.
I think the OP has a clever concept, and in online discussion that can make an idea unduly appealing to me, but is it really more right?

The straightforward, obvious answer of: maybe it makes more sense than you think has no appeal to it, but I think it's closer to the truth.

I'll let you answer for yourself if the answer had insight or appeal. Both tickle that novelty button, but only one has (elements) of truth.
Yah, and I expect they'll find that insufficient and find themselves considering 8-9 interviews! ;)
I'm skeptical of the hard definitions that arise around "entrepreneurship" which can become dogmatic and exclusionary, like we once saw with investors and some accelerators insisting that you were either a "startup" (a real entrepreneur hitting for the fences!) or a "lifestyle business" (not serious, and little more than a hobby).

I see this article trying to create a similar dynamic, with "Solopreneur" being the new "lifestyle business" ("While the entrepreneur is looking to create a major enterprise, a solopreneur wants to create their enterprise alone ... to redefine their work-life balance or find purpose in starting something uniquely their own.")

Regardless, when people from the startup world use the term “lifestyle business” or "solopreneur" or "small business" or whatever to describe real businesses that aren’t pure tech, have solo founders, don’t take VC money, don’t intend to scale to a billion users, or whatever other qualities are not worthy of investor consideration, I find it condescending and misguided.
> these roles are usually high stakes and the cost of a bad hire is too high

Really? High stakes? This fucking site.

Have you ever worked as a software developer at a corporation? Nothing about it is high stakes. You spend most of your time dealing with useless idiots who report to other useless idiots, who report to other useless idiots, about a useless product they think is a great idea that every non-idiot knows is useless garbage.

That's how you get Google not creating a single non garbage product over the past 15 years.

When they did Google Maps, did they have 7 interview processes? I bet you they didn't.

Here is how the real world works - 0.0001% create something, then 99.9999% turn it into what 99.9999% of people are. What that is - I leave to you as an exercise.
There is this explosion-like “swoosh” sound that was emitted in Doom by one of the big baddies, and ever since I played that game as a kid I’ve heard it in all sorts of TV shows, movies, and other games.

I wish someone did an article on that sound too!
I think it really depends on where you're interviewing, especially now that lots of places are desperate to find people. Sure, at the big FAANG companies you still have to jump through a lot of hoops, but at newer, smaller companies they seem (in my recent experience, anyway) to be much more willing to hire after 2 or 3 interviews (phone interviews even). The place where I'm working now I had a total of 3 phone interviews (not in person due to covid, plus it's a completely remote company). The 3rd interview was with the CTO. He basically said: "It's really hard to find people to hire right now. We'd like to hire you, do you have any questions for me?"
npm may be an elephant, but why is it in a room talking about go.mod?

Why not drag APT and the Debian unstable repository in as well? i think install-debian-os also has around 800 dependencies. Debian unstable is vulnerable to supply chain attacks by package maintainers, and Debian stable suffers from lack of volunteers backporting and verifying security patches. Yet, if their numbers increase, the small chance increases a cabal of them attacks the supply chain by pushing and vouching for a fake patch that introduces malicious code ...

The elephant in the room is not some package manager unrelated to the topic. The elephant is trust.

GO argues to mitigate attacks by verifying and locking all dependencies yourself. Which, does not scale.

Debian argues with a proof of work, carefully curating what they publish, and who can publish to fast tracks like the security repo. In theory these people could go insane or be hacked in the same way node module devs go insane or get hacked. But curated publishing mitigates some of the risk.

As far as i know there is only one "third party" GO module repository (actually its generic, supporting both go.mod, npm, and many more) that has a multi-stage system of curation. It promises to integrate lots of tools, global cooperation, configurable policies, an AI and a team of specialists to help with curation. It is also proprietary, stupidly expensive and may not fully deliver on those promises.
Here's the interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cmnwbGmu7w
Mine died when I was 28. The way I felt was like when you finish the video game civilization and can continue playing but there’s no more winning or point. Emptiness. A few things I’d say is one if your mother is still alive don’t neglect her like I did. Channel your grief into appreciation and love for those who are still with, know the pain fades.
I misread that title and thought it was running MAME ON a Minitel 2. That would be quite a feat!
Ever since we make 10x more than anyone else. Hiring a wrong developer can liquidate a smaller company, and make serious problems for a medium one. Large companies can take it for a while, but it definitely doesn't help.
(For a definition of white that is heavily Asian)
> How do you know it works?

Because the hallways aren't empty.
Because having options is powerful. Spacex.
Eurostar trains, as opposed to the drive-on-drive-off Eurotunnel ones, have always been prohibitively expensive whenever I've looked at them. Maybe it's a viable option for the London, Paris, Brussels executives who put it on expenses but for us plebs it's cheaper to fly or drive.

Eh, it's referring to base pair variations. The title is on the sensationalistic side when you consider how most lay people will interpret it.

The cool stuff people imagine about in response to the title won't happen until researchers finish figuring out regulatory regions in the DNA; and, how DNA interacts with itself and environment, both spatially and temporally. Regulatory regions are promoters, enhancers, silencers, and insulators, and impact gene expression and regulation.
I guess my degree in electrical engineering was a waste of time.

In no reference to electronics of radio reception, anywhere in the world, will you find even a single formula or equation with a reference to a change in temperature of a component being involved in detecting a signal. Period. None anywhere. No exceptions.

Also, nowhere in any reference on the operation of a cell phone will you find so much as a single analog-to-digital converter attached to its microwave antenna. Nowhere. Not one. No exceptions.

Your profound and aggressive ignorance is on display for all to see, and recorded for posterity.
How to make “localhost” slightly less local

>According to the complaint, the dealerships would often wait until the end of the hours-long negotiation process to sneak junk fees for add-on products and services into consumers’ purchase contracts, which often run as long as 60 pages. These junk fees were often added despite consumers specifically declining the add-ons or having confirmed prices that did not include the add-ons. In other cases, the consumers were falsely told the add-ons were free or were a requirement to purchase or finance their vehicle.

The F&I office at a car dealership is just such a terrible place. Even if they're not outright trying to cheat you like this, they flood the zone with fast talk about options and numbers, with a healthy dollop of scare tactics to get you to buy "protection plans" you don't need. It's this bizarre mix of complimenting you and insulting your intelligence -- "you seem like a smart guy so I'm sure you're looking at the extended protection plan!"

Everything else aside, buying a Tesla was refreshing because I was able to buy a new car on the internet like I'd buy a new blender on Amazon. No "the price is this if you finance and that if you don't," no push for warranties or prepaid service plans, and no obfuscation around finance rates and payments, etc. I ordered and paid for the car online, went to the store to unlock it with my phone, and drove off.
Not if they didn't uphold the values written on it. But publicly repudiating some values diminishes the chance of upholding them, and failing to uphold those values in particular is what causes downtime.
Thanks for the references. As I suspected. You take an antenna cut for a band, try to use it on others and find its limits -- nothing abnormal there. Still, maybe something you could circumvent with additional devices to transform the impedance? I can't check the article now, but maybe some changes to form a counterpoise, or feeding the antenna at a different point, could adapt it without big investments -- if you're really willing to spend resources on such improvisation.

And about AM, it doesn't transmit the full human-audible spectrum, so the channel is not that wide. Currently standards result in ~20KHz IIRC. BTW, some amateurs use receiving tunnable loops to listen to distant AM stations -- the antenna's narrow bandwidth is actually an advantage in such cases. And, again, someone interested in transmitting in AM or using some of those exotic modes have no reason whatsoever to worry about loop's bandwidths -- just look for an appropriate antenna and stop worrying.

It doesn't make sense to try to hammer a nail with a slipper and complain about its sole not being hard enough.

How would you feel if they offered compensation, say for your 30 hrs?
I’m not saying you’re categorically wrong, but this doesn’t match with my experience, at all. If you’re an HM and this works for you and your company, great, but the HMs responding here don’t agree.

The processes you are questioning scale to thousands of people with varying backgrounds. It’s not an accident all of these companies do this. Your process places extreme trust in one group of people. It’s just so risky.

Also, resumes are mostly bullshit, IMO. Reference checks are complete bullshit, IMO. I’ve worked with my buddies at startups (who get lofty titles) and just have them give me reference checks. Other references have asked me for call scripts.

Also keep in mind that most of these big tech jobs are highly competitive. Your solution eventually requires a coin toss if you have limited spots. There’s only so much data you can collect from the process you propose. The natural thing is to then assess each candidate a bit more until you’re confident you’ve picked the right one.
And then you’re here.
I’ve worked in tech for decades and I’ve never experienced a process with “7 straight white guys” much less every time.

First, how do you know the sexual orientation of interviewers?

Next, tech is like 50-70% Asian so it would be so weird to only have white guys doing programming interviews.

The guy pet is spot on as programming is way heavy in guys.

But I’m not sure why you would think that 7 interviews = 7 straight white guys.
I have many degraded CDs from 1998-2010. In 2019 almost all of them would read, eventually, even as metal flakes came off the disks. I recovered most data from most. My CD-Rs were a mix of brands, nothing special or expensive. But my CD-drives are old too, from 2006(?) or so. I wonder if like with floppy disks and drives, modern CD drives are less capable than old ones because they're no longer a premium product?
The YT ban here was certainly indiscriminate, but the presence of special immunity tokens to certain creators makes the bans by nature not indiscriminate. And while he may not have been targeted because of his "anti-Google" content, it's plausible that an immunity token would be harder for him to get because of it.

It's unfortunately a pattern we see outside digital, in particular with law enforcement. It's a force that undermines society in a very destructive and pernicious way. People need to feel that there is some fundamental fairness in society or they will stop contributing and start destroying.

It's really too bad that these large tech companies haven't maintained their early prioritization of fairness. It's the root cause of frustration with their search engine as well.

My dad died unexpectedly recently. For a period, I was hyper motivated, but now I'm starting to similarly feel unmotivated. I've also thought about just disappearing, but having to be there for my mom and sisters has been stopping that thought early in the process. I don't know if there's anything I can say to help you, but if you want to talk about what you're going through, I'm happy to listen.
I’ve had some companies give a Codility test, which is basically 3 leetcode-style problems, 30 min each, solvable in 10 or 15 lines of code, any language you want. Then the actual interview can focus on discussing your solutions and higher level questions.

(Turns out the company started as a 10% project of the first company I encountered that used it)

Your argument is that because Mormons don't believe in the Trinity, that they don't believe in omnipotence and omnipresence.

This argument is false. Mormons believe that the Trinity is two living immortal men (Elohim and Jesus), and one omnipresent spirit.

They are also very inconsistent with the idea, since originally they did believe in the Trinity, but later Joseph started preaching the three beings doctrine, and had the Book of Mormon edited to reflect it.

But all of this is splitting hairs. There is no point arguing whether Mormons worship the wrong version of God, because God is fiction in the first place.
Not dying in general is an admirable goal; yet even if you can fix the cancer part of the equation those of us who don't get cancer will eventually die.

Could just be an assumption on my part. Maybe we will fix the "dying" part of the issue as well.
Removing "How" is one of those automatic edits to titles made by HN, and I think it's a bad idea, as it often changes the meaning. Fortunately, it's possible to for the submitter to click "edit" and change it back to the original.
> 10 years from now, there will be nobody on earth able to say "i know c++" because each codebase will use a completely different set of bazillion optional features making each codebase look like an entirely different language from each other.

I mean, this is kind of why C++ is successful. It's a toolbox that'll do anything and you can write high level or low level code.

> but maybe thats how we'll finally get rid of c++

Lol we're never getting rid of it. There's too much C++ software and will Rust replace it all? Probably not.
That is great signal for the candidate, though. If a company is putting all of their decision-making power into the hands of douchebros, it's best to make that clear in the interview process so that talented candidates can stay away.
I experienced almost that complete opposite of that, for sure..
Carrier is the answer :)

Even considering, it is possible to destroy Carrier, it is constantly moving, so exact place unknown and it is extremely hard to destroy it.

But to be more strict, Carriers are not travel alone, they all time accompanied by few tens other ships.

We in Ukraine constantly invite Carriers to Lviv sea port.
I'd like to make a website that provides movies and series recommendations based on your preferences. Like letterboxd but extended to series (and other things?) and with open data so that anybody can improve on the recommendation system.

Got this idea browsing rotten tomatoes and realizing you can't order lists based on users scores. And the API is private. So, putting your score there is basically donating it to a private for-profit company.

The technical side would be easy I guess, a UI and a DB. You would need to populate it but there are some open databases already [0] and you can always scrap IMDB. The recommendation engine would require some ML that I am not familiar with but we can always figure something out. The tough part would be to have people come in and provide scoring. This requires marketing on a 0$ budget and/or networking which is a people skill I absolutely don't have.

If anybody have investigated that space, I'd be willing to help on the grunt/technical side.

because it's good to let people know these things happen as opposed to the onslaught of material that you're gonna make it rich in crypto and web3 investments. It's everywhere. I can't watch financial (tv) news anymore. I want legit financial discussion but all I see are fintech and crypto execs promoting their warez. I had to go back to being much more selective and reading everything based on headlines rather than passively ingesting it all. I guess that's probably a better way anyway.
Yup, one of the nice things about todays internet with stuff like Translate and Google Lens is you can go and see for yourself.
