The nice thing about this method of hiring is that I probably wouldn't want to work for a company that trusts someone with such silly biases to pick candidates anyway. The code I write and push to my self-hosted Gitlab is none of your concern.

If you're going by some trivial standard (github repos, leetcode ranks, whatever the case may be) you're going to be talking to a lot of people who made it a priority to get hired, not to write good code or even work well in a business environment. I'd argue that high-effort resumé stuffing is even worse than the lazy kind, because you might be tempted to give the candidate the benefit of the doubt or skip over some of the validation questions that a resumé-based hiring process might demand. You might even end up hiring bad coders who are better at making stuff up and repeating textbook excerpts than writing or maintaining any real code.

The author states that during interviews he talks through the code the interviewee has written and the decisions they have made, but such a process could easily be reversed as well. Grab some company code with known architectural flaws or technical debt and walk through that. Ask what they would've done differently and why. Ask what they would do to improve it. This probably works best with some archived code from stale branches or sunset products so you don't give off the impression that you're doing this for your gain and you won't risk leaking any important company secrets anyway. Better yet, grab some of your company's open source projects (Your company has a public Github as well, right?)
> Trump going back to Twitter would also mean he admits defeat on his attempt to defeat it.

Trump has only ever posted a single time on Truth Social, a generic coming soon message, and it probably wasn't even him. He doesn't give a shit about it. He doesn't even know its name, apparently: https://www.businessinsider.com/video-shows-trump-struggling... It's best to think of Trump's role with Truth Social as a disinterested mascot. Even your basic paid shill would be doing a much better job of promoting/using it.

Trump loves Twitter, and would be back on it in a flash if allowed to do so.

That's really interesting. Germany > Japan > China all of them became tech powers. So the moral is copy, sell, develop, ..., profit!
Thanks! Which is your favorite?

I used to use TamperMonkey (even wrote a somewhat popular script a long time ago) and more plugins, but tired of the cognitive overhead maintaining the setup eg. every time I format/migrate, or when my browser decided to break backward compatibility, or when sites changed and the mod was no longer being updated, or when my browser got slow and I had to try and isolate which one(s) were at fault.

I'm sure the plugins are great, I just personally find it easier now to remove by hand (and other sledgehammers like disabling JavaScript altogether for the most aggregiously annoying sites).

God if I could pay $2/m for Twitter with an option to only see tweets from people who pay. Twitter would be the best social media experience by a long shot.
May I ask why do you think that? If someone touts that free speech is important, but tries to suppress or penalize it, if it is directed against them. One natural conclusion would be, that their commitment is at least questionable.
No company can ever be a 'bastion of free speech' since it's always beholden to the interests of the investors.

That something happened once doesn't mean you need to jump at every shadow or that you need to assume that every thing that we do needs to be hardened against every eventuality. Fortunately - for now - idiots in real life are still in relatively short supply. Contrasted with the internet where they are plentiful, witness the dumb attacks on mobile phone infrastructure once the crazies start to influence each other because 'they' are out to get them.

The cases you list are the exceptions, not the rule. Fact: undersea optical cables would be trivial to destroy. But as a rule they work well. Fact: water infrastructure, gas infrastructure and power infrastructure is vulnerable. But it actually works quite well. Fact: logistics infrastructure is fragile, as are most buildings. And yet, most of it seems to hold up quite well. Ok we get the occasional crazy person but that doesn't mean society grinds to a halt or that we are going to re-do all of our bridges, crossings and foundations.
The design isn't very reader-friendly to be honest. I really don't like the trend of terminal-inspired designs. Yeah, looks nice and nerdy, but isn't really useful for reading. Monospaced fonts aren't very good for running text as well.

Musk does not have a history of acting like a grownup and has used Twitter to defame, bully, argue, get involved in foreign wars, manipulate markets, etc. all because of greed, ego, or because someone disagreed with him. I sincerely don’t understand how him taking over Twitter can be viewed as a good thing. I could be here all day listing the people he has publicly insulted on Twitter. He has attacked people, often experts in their field like Noam Chomsky or the cave rescuer, because they held positions that disagreed with his usually amateur and attention hogging takes.

For one, Trump seems to finally be receding into the background, and I can guarantee he gets his account back when Musk takes over. That alone is enough to view this as a net negative.

He said similar things about Tesla. It is naive to take his word on it. He is just not very good at articulating things.
I wrote a travel blog for a trip I'm currently on using Laravel and an SQLite database. The only people writing to it are my partner and I so that's not an issue. The CPU on my $5 VM would probably bottleneck trying to serve traffic before the database would.

> Musk shouts about free speech but shut down Teslas PR department

What has Tesla PR got to do with free speech?

Or cancelling a pre-order?

Journalists and "the media" have little to do with free speech in general, and maybe even a negative effect on free speech if it is though that media representation is an alternative.

It's also notable that freedom to express an opinion, and freedom to express something as factual as somewhat different. Twitter generally deals with opinion (and does a poor job of dealing with facts/fact-checking).
I remember being very impressed upon visiting the US stand in the 70s, the cold war was good in showcasing the space rivalry, moon rock box and other artifacts. The USSR pavilion was nearby, and it was the 1970 at the Damascus fair, I was a 10 year old kid then, my dream was to go to the US, but when I visited Silicone Valley in the 2000s I was depressed after meeting some former WIMAX experts who were homeless, asking me for cigarettes, in San Jose.

> I suggest looking at accidental complexity first. We should make it explicit instead of using languages and tools that increasingly hide it.

The languages that hide accidental complexity to the greatest extent are very high level, dynamic, "managed" languages, often with a scripting-like, REPL-focused workflow. Rust is not really one of those. It's perfectly possible to write Rust code that's just as simple as old-school FORTRAN or C, if the problem being solved is conducive to that approach.
I'm not defending Musk's shutting down of Tesla's PR department or cancelling a preorder because he didn't like a journalist's article — and point well taken that those events might indicate his behavior/orientation — but these are hardly comparable in the sense that Twitter is fundamentally a speech platform - that's what it enables its users to do - whereas Tesla is not. To extrapolate from his behavior re Tesla to the way he views Twitter or would operate it seems like a stretch to me. It's possible for a person to bifurcate.
The parent comment is why we need someone to start a movement making social media algorithms more transparent. The person you are responding to is misinformed about Tesla fans because he has been the victim of a social media algorithm generated echo chamber. He isn't unique, we all are victims of echo chambers and filter bubbles to some degree. The only way to fix that is to allow people to control their own feeds and disable echo chambers if they wish to.
How exactly are illegal entries into the UK via small boats controlled?

If this is controlled, why has the number of people arriving in this manner grown enormously in recent years?

Also way to misrepresent the other commenter’s perfectly valid point.
Twitter is a big place. I follow a lot of reporters, policy analysts, space entrepreneur, etc and don't get much toxicity. There are some people whose long form writing I really enjoy but who are just too negative on Twitter for me to follow them there, I just hope that other people will retweet their good stuff.
Elon is probably doing it for increased political and social influence. Like I've said before, whoever controls twitter, controls the next election.
They all fall! It used to be quicker, but they all do. It's clear Facebook is fading. And it's a separate issue from anything "wrong" the platform does. The userbase simply ages, and kids don't want to be where their parents are. I have a facebook account that I only use for high school reuinons. My classmates post photos of their grandchildren, etc.
No, I'm not a fan boy. I just think it's ridiculous that people are ok with this. I know it's very easy to look up flight data. But looking up flight data and making a Twitter account dedicated to a private plane's movement and then trying to extort the owner is different.

There are good reasons to get divorced and there are bad reasons to get divorced.

If kids are going through a divorce for a bad reason, then they suffer. If kids are going through a divorce for a good reason then that still is terrible, but it is better then the alternative.

Simply hating or disliking your partner isn't a good reason. "Falling out of love" isn't a good reason either. Especially if you have kids. This is what responsibility means to a functional adult.

Lots of times divorces happen just through lack of maturity. Being selfish, not giving their partners a chance, not just taking a break and giving it a couple years to get through differences, etc. People who expect that they can live and love each other like horny 22 year olds until they are 85 are just not having a realistic view of what marriage actually is. They just need to grow up a bit more. There is more than one type of happiness. There is more than one type of love. You don't have to like somebody to love them, etc.

However if there is betrayal in the relationship then that is a good reason to get divorced. Things like adultery, abuse, theft, criminal activity, substance abuse, etc.

When people are destructive, behaving in an evil manner, and is this is creating significant risks for the family than that is a good reason to get a divorce.
I'm so confused why people think this. There are countless things I could put as a direct response to you that would have Dang letting me know my behaviour is uncalled for, and I would agree that they are, but uncalled for speech is still speech. If you have to choose your words is it really speaking freely?
> If one believes Twitter has a free speech problem

Twitter HAS a free speech problem. This is not controversial. Now you may not agree that Twitter SHOULD allow free speech, but you can not deny that censorship exists on Twitter and it is serving the political agenda of some people.
Successful social media is positive, useful, and pleasant?
The idea that "ADHD can be cured" is misguided and borne out of the fact that there are plenty dopamine dysfunction syndromes that _present_ like ADHD, but it's not ADHD proper.

For example, long term (drug) addiction presents itself as ADHD. To make confusion worse, plenty ADHD sufferers tend to abuse and get addicted to pleasurable activities (drugs, food, porn, etc.), worsening their condition. [1] It feels a bit like a chicken and egg situation but the point is: ADHD is a measurable difference in the pre frontal cortex that _needs_ to have been present since birth. There is no such thing as adult onset ADHD.

>If you want parts, outsource the manufacturing.
>If you want a new, expensive hobby, look into CNC machining. Don’t expect cheap parts, though.

This 1000%.

If you’re at the point that you think you need custom machines parts for a brewery, then you probably need an interior designer (if these are aesthetic) or a brewing consultant (if these a functional).

I’m all for hobby cnc’ing! I have a probotix and LOVE it! But until you are a “machinist” don’t count on cnc being more than a hobby, not critical path.

> If you don’t even have time to research and learn the basics, you definitely won’t have time to learn how to properly operate a machine and CAD/CAM. I think you’re underestimating the work that goes into even basic CNC machining.

Yup. Time is money. If this is a commercial enterprise, get a professional solution. If this is a hobby project, explore your hobby any way that is interesting to you.
on the other hand, you're dealign with someone with Asperger's. Traditional forms of coercion may not work well with Musk. but other forms may...
Which is to say that he is nothing; it's nihilistic. What is a drop water in an ocean? One drop less won't make the seas recede. Life, death, where is the boundary when one is subsumed in the all?

We are not anonymous atoms in the fabric of an unconscious universe. We have friends, family, and experience life in a unique way. We have the ability to channel our uniqueness into creative acts which introduce completely new combinations into the world. A black hole, a star, can't produce the Mona Lisa, and no one other than Divinci could. It was an outgrowth of his individuality.

This idea that we are passive beings, like atoms, completely disregards our ability to create. We tower above the unconscious elements of the universe. We are creators! Putting us on the uncreative level of atoms is slander against humanity.
His Twitter feed. And yes they do.
Although I generally agree that most social media platforms are fads. I am not sure about Twitter. At least I know that it will stay around for a long time. It did so despite all it's problems so far.
Thats part of the sell. Tesla originally gave really low comp packages and had super long hard hours for employees under the mission status and working for Elon. For a long time it really looked like a bad deal but in the end it paid out well for employees who held onto their options, the long hour were already spent.

As for the mission - seems mostly legit though I don't think Elon is motivated by climate change otherwise he wouldn't be using Natural Gas for fueling his rockets more for ability to create self sustaining energy off planet.
Reminds me of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblique_Strategies which are a deck of cards by Brian Eno that are meant to help artists overcome creative blockage with unusual ideas.
Jeez...this fits me to a T. I'm 40 and have been wondering what is wrong with me all my life. Thanks for this.
Even if it's not legal, I'm not going to sue my employer to stake ownership over an evening project.
I think you've gone overboard and you're wrong about so much, but I agree that it should be easier to use your own themes. I mean, I hope you've heard of Stylish, Dark Reader and Tampermonkey. They help tremendously. But it's not the same as having shit done right.

Discouraging home buying as an investment, which seems to be behind the crazy rise in home prices over the year, would be a good start.
I wonder if there'll be a clause in the terms of purchase where Musk gets to call himself a founder.
Indeed. The window of opinion that is allowed on twitter is anti space exploration and frankly anti-human. Elon needs a way to sway public opinion to allow mars settlement. Twitter might be that.

Currently, SpaceX is blocked from doing the first starship orbital test. Not for technical reasons, but for frankly totally bullshit bureaucratic reasons. A free speech twitter might be the right way to fight back against this government overreach.
>The first thing I look for in a resume is a GitHub URL. If I can find that, I stop reading the resume and start reading code. Doing open source is not a be-all and end-all by any means, but it's a good starting point. After five minutes of reading through a candidate's code I have a good handle of their skill level and style, making the interview run much more smoothly.

We get well over 500 applicants per role. It’s absolutely unreasonable to ask our hiring teams to go through the applicants githubs
Pareto principle sort of thing.
To me, an interposer implies something that modifies the form factor, which this doesn’t. For desktop processors, the interposer takes the ultra fine pitch die and turns it into something that an LGA/PGA socket can take.
Will only really matter what problems Musk thinks twitter has, and seems weird to doubt musk can fix them at this point.
Resumes are not as dangerous as technical tests. 90% of top companies have terrible technical tests which select mediocre candidates and pass up on excellent candidates.

Technical tests with time limits are the worst; this is in part because if the candidate doing the test is more skilled than the engineers who designed the test, the candidate might take longer than anticipated to complete the task because they've thought to do some additional sub-tasks which the people who designed the test did not anticipate and which they would not appreciate or understand. For example, extra logic related to error handling and security will take more time to implement but are critical in evaluating a developer's skill level.

It's happened to me multiple times that I did a test but could not complete it within the allocated time. Then explaining to the engineers why it took longer to complete just doesn't register because they don't seem to understand how important this error handling logic is or why it's important to reset the state of the system between each test case.

I usually don't insist much because if they are like this during the interview process, I can be sure that they will be even worse if I start working there. It's sad because many of these jobs are highly paid and would provide credibility on the resume - At least until the industry figures out that the financial success of a company is usually not correlated with tech talent; certainly not the kinds of companies which solve every problem by throwing 100 engineers at it... That's just brute force; it doesn't require much skill.

Another issue with technical tests is that some developers with a background at a famous SV company will expect you to do things a certain, very specific way (based on how the famous company did it) and not realize (due to lack of other industry experience) that there are multiple valid ways to achieve the same (or better) results for the specific use case which is being discussed. They are overfitted to their past role at the famous company.
Indeed, people begin by assuming that since programmable computers can approximate many classes of patterns and since computers are amazing therefore everything is just an instance of this class.

Were this true, I cannot see why any system wouldn't be a model of any system; ie., alchemy would be possible.

What people forget is that "programming" in the alchemical sense requires a star.

Once you get specific about what properties and processes actually correspond to the allegdeged "complexities" you're talking about, its obvious that no programmable machine will implement them; as obvious as none will turn lead into gold.

Sure, I'm not trying to argue about how to appropriately price the rate; just that it's variable.
What?

Your "(a) living together" is a much more serious and well established relationship than "planning wedding".

"living together" implies a de-facto relationship with the legal protections that brings. "Planning a wedding" gives none of that.

To your point: legal protection is a very serious "social resource" given potential offspring a benefit.
Using it for hours a week sounds to me like he’s a fairly normal person, at least with regard to social media use.

I think the only really uncommon thing here is that they're spending a full 15 seconds per resume. :)

When I put together a resume, I figure I have about 3 seconds to get them to decide to continue reading the resume. So I do my best to put in whatever it takes to accomplish that (within the bounds of truth).

No one reads a resume straight through; they skim for the highlights they want to see.

The more skimming passes you get them to make over your resume because you've kept their interest up, the more likely the interview.

And if you're thinking that a resume is a poor format for getting this job done, you're right. :)
I can empathise with both ends of the table here, but you have to agree that entering such a world of pain as moderating Twitter and re-shaping it's dynamics voluntary (and paying $43B for it!) is yet another thing done by Musk that you will see once in a lifetime. This is "bread and circuses" of our time.

It seems extremely comparable. If Elon purports to believe that free, unmoderated speech is intrinsically valuable in society, why would he suddenly do an about face for his own companies? Isn't the point of being an absolutist that your belief in free speech is, well, absolute?
Considering that libGL, and thus OpenGL, grew out of the SGI RealityEngine pipeline, that's not surprising at all
