No its not. Even Google has to change its hiring practices and move away with the current system, as it is creating a lot of noise. (i.e. hiring people that are good at leetcode, while great engineers are being left out just because they don't have time to practice stupid/pointless problems).

The weird thing is that now you even have small dipsh!t start ups that have even harder/longer interview process and questions than some of the large tech cos, which doesn't make sense.
It is a form a cargo cult following that it is detrimental to the whole industry.

1. Google is skiping phone screening for many (more experienced folks, as they found it was low value, and filtering out really good candidates. Yet many startups keep doing them.

2. Google is going towards a team hiring strategy, where specialized skills will be more valued, rather than the current 'generic leetcode' process.

3. I just went through an interview process of an old startup/not yet IPO company, and had to go through 10 stages!!

1. Recruiter screening

2. Phone Screening

3-8. A full round with 6 interviews (6 hrs long).

9. Final manager interview/round

10. Call for references, which a previous manager was a must

"Standardized tests are designed such that preparing for the test isn't helpful."

LSAT, MCAT, SAT and GMAT are all standardized tests that reward those who prepare specifically for those tests.

I used a couple of books to prepare for the GMAT. I'm pretty sure that this preparation:

- helped me get a better score than I would have gotten without that specific preparation, and

- did not improve my 'aptitude in x, y and z' (the thing the test is designed to measure)

I ran a FreeNAS from 2014 until recently for my home network with zero issues. A few months ago I purchased a new system direct from IXsystems and installed the TrueNAS Scale beta. There were a few issues, none critical. It has been upgraded to the Scale GA and pretty much just works. I have better things to do then mess with / debug stuff. It just works.
I suppose it relies on some slack in the system and everything else moving as expected. Which could also be the reason why they don't want to restart a schedule at mid-day with every active train in a non standard state.

> Feynman suggests he got a buzz out of puzzles his whole life

Yes, you tend to get good at what gives you a buzz, in a compounding way. But I expect 'buzz' isn't random, either: it'd make sense for personality formation to notice when you show talent at something valued by some of the people around you, and flip some motivational switches in your developing mind. This seems like a better bet for your genes than trying to engineer your motivation and talent towards a common target separately.
Well college grads typically make significantly more than those without college degrees, so if there's enough of an educational attainment gap between men and women in a given city, it shouldn't really matter what anyone majored in. A bachelor's degree in anything is the difference between earning $30k/yr and $50k for many people.

That said, the prevalence (or lack thereof) of high-paying industries with gender-imbalances could also contribute to the scenario described by the article. For example, a notable lack of STEM jobs or a local economy based around healthcare could both lead to a city's young women earning more than its young men.
There are a lot of companies where, even pre-COVID, the expectation of training or mentorship just isn't there. Startups, small companies, non-tech companies is where this can be common.
> That aside, would it be fair to say you have an issue with that they scope the tribe/group they're accusing completely wrong? That MBAs are just a caricature if the people they're actually talking about, some of whom don't have an MBA and many MBAs are not those people? If so, agreed, it's a lazy and unfair one.

Yes, generally speaking, I’d agree with that. I simply take issue with that actual espoused sentiment that “if something bad happens it must be an MBA type” and if at the same company something good happens said MBA type couldn’t possibly deserve credit.

> You know, as someone supposed to be targeted here, I would agree, we need to take more personal and collective responsibility in what work we accept to do.

I agree too. But I would also say in a similar vein it wouldn’t be fair to go around and say “those software engineering types” as a response ya know?
the people who voluntarily leave telemetry "on" are probably skewing the results

do they use telemetry on who disables telemetry to balance the data :P
Most of the reason it's more complicated is because I made it return arrays when recursing and only join at the end because that probably doesn't need as many allocations. The rest of the complication is because the DOM has separate text nodes and the library you're using doesn't seem to. (Oh, and also NodeLists don't have .map so we use the .map from the array prototype) Here's a non-optimized version:

let getText = n =>[].map.call(n.childNodes,e => e.nodeType == 3 ? e.data : getText(e)).join("")
Agree on both points. I crammed a lot of grammar rules to improve my score, which was apparently was the thing I was missing to be a successful business person and totally not a classist barrier erected to exclude people without a private school education. This is the downside of any test that assumes aptitude means mimicking people who have already been successful in the field.

This is often the problem with visual tools. They work well for diagramming small things, but as complexity increases, the visualization becomes very difficult to follow.
GP is mistaken for sure.

But I think there's a difference between preparing for a specific test, and studying in general.

Let's say you have 2 days left to study for the GMAT. You could study the relevant math, reasoning or whatever. That might help.

But you'd do far better by working through problems in a Princeton Review GMAT book, and looking at their tips for the questions you got wrong.

The tips might be generic test-taking tips (e.g. eliminate obviously wrong answers) or they might be more specific (e.g. relating to specific types of problems found on the GMAT).

Sometimes even local stuff. U.S. states, our provincial government level, have processes in place to account for Americans living abroad to vote in state and local elections. It’s guaranteed by law, I think. Our states handle all voting on behalf of the federal government anyway (registration, voting day operations, counts, all often under the misleadingly named office of a Secretary of State), so it’s a natural consequence of our structure. It is nice to live abroad as if you were still at your last physical address for voting purposes, though, and usually not notice a big difference. I think it’s implied that those of us who have done it intend to come back, in the system’s thinking, but I think everyone understands the relevance of their vote according to their situation and beliefs.

We’re of course all too familiar with this process from several consequential court cases deliberating its efficacy and merit in generational memory. Whether it’s sensible has been argued with elections on the line.

The Product interview has also become a fascinating game. You need to be able to apply specific case frameworks that you would never use in real life, at breakneck speeds that you would never work at in real life.

Stumbling into one of these without prep is like showing up for a tryout on a football team and finding out that you'll actually be playing Tecmo Super Bowl with a controller you've never held before. And slowly realizing that all the people interviewing you are fantastic video game players who have never been in the weight room, and they spend all day LARPing.

Unless you can quantify such “sacrifices”, this point is also moot. There is a quantifiable risk of death among teachers, a risk objectively deadlier than kids not seeing their friends for a while.

I grew up using these throughout high school in the mid-to-late 80's. They were the perfect machine for a budding hacker because they were very close to a real UNIX system without actually being well-designed. They had networking. They had a very primitive speech synthesizer chip or subsystem of some kind - I had no documentation for it, but there were a handful of samples that said fixed words and so I was able to chop up the sample utterances and make it say other things to some degree. You could redirect these requests over the network and make other people's machines speak during class. There was a basic inode-type file system but it had weird permissions and was pretty closely mapped to the physical disk topology so you could edit directories and reassign file locations to be the locations of other files, like, say, the password file. There wasn't anything to stop you from writing a fake login prompt to capture passwords from the unsuspecting. They had structured pascal, a decent LOGO interpreter and a C compiler so they could support really any sort of sophisticated program that a high school student of the day could write.

It's sad they ordered them all destroyed. While they were obsolete the day they were made it would be great for there to be a working installation of them to show off how advanced Ontario was once upon a time.

I suspect that this bifurcation of expensive, high quality goods and cheap crud at the bottom in price sensitive markets is due to income inequality. People on the high end can afford the higher quality goods, and cheap items become cheap enough to cut out the middle market.

This is an incorrect interpretation of what I pointed out. I pointed out that Jack Dorsey worded his tweet in a way that invalidates work of his former team and brings their morale down. You are either following a slippery slope or setting up a straw man in characterizing my comment as suggesting that Jack Dorsey, or any other leaders, should have remained silent.

An effective leader of an organization will find and fix problems.

Managers far less experienced than Jack Dorsey, in companies larger and smaller than Twitter, are effectively performing this today without hurting morale of the organizations.

I hope you don't feel defensive in response to my comments. I wish to make a more accurate understanding available for you to grab. Whether you grab it is your choice and affects me in no ways.

Happiness is tepid water on the tongue. -- Friedrich Hölderlin
It is your fault.

If you introduce a bug and let's say in part due to insufficient documentation in the code, code reviews that didn't catch it, your change passed all tests and you even made some new tests to exactly test corner cases of the change you were making, it ran fine in beta testing. Then it is still (in part) your fault!

Everybody makes mistakes, and systems should be resilient to mistakes. That doesn't mean nobody is at fault for anything. It means everybody has faults, and if somebody doesn't think they have any faults then why should they think they have anything to learn or improve?

Fault finding should be done. People who wrote the documentation should be given notice and opportunity to improve. People who reviewed the change should as well. And certainly the person who introduced the bug. If people can not cope with accepting the blame for a problem they had responsibility for introducing, they should not be in that line of work.
Probably Putins fault.

Conspiracy theories are so fun.
I find that the strategy of writing for a week or two without compiling works well for me too. At least when the goal is big and clear.

Doesn't work with clients who aren't quite sure what their own requirements are, of course. Then it's more of a few days at most, so revisions can be done early.

If I'm interfacing with a library that I'm not familiar with, I'll usually do trial and error in a blank project, separate from the actual project, first. Then write cleanly in the real project. Iteration times on the learning process are faster that way.

Sometimes I'll just write long drafts or snippets in notepad at first, just to stay clear of IDE distractions. It's a fast way of figuring out the structure of things without the need for everything to compile at all times.
If work with not easily deterministic code typically but not always ML models like say speech-to-text or Face-Recognition or classification/ recommendation systems or network performance dependent applications like video conferencing that wouldn't be that feasible .

Almost nothing is impossible to test yes, however to know and be able to mock the data for each test case can be extremely hard and at some point not worth the effort to even attempt.

Most I have seen these kind of systems doing is statistical testing with reference benchmark/ sample data, and maybe monitor real world feedback either telemetry or user complaints.
We could easily afford preserving as many people's lives as possible in this situation.

To me, the rationale behind interviewing by programming puzzles seems to be: the candidates who pass are either truly smart to be able to solve the problems on the spot without preparing or diligent enough to have prepared for them.

As such, puzzle-based interviews are optimised to reject candidates who are not smart enough and have either not bothered to play the interview game or those who don't have what it takes to learn to play the game.

Who exactly would Hungary get into a war with? It borders Slovakia (EU member), Austria (EU member), Croatia (EU member), Serbia, Romania (EU member), Ukraine, and Poland (EU member).

Or is Hungary going to use its awesome force projection capabilities to get into a war with a country that it doesn't border?
