The prices are artificially inflated by WEF connected funds. They pay above market price for properties, pricing out locals out of the market. This is part of Great Reset. The artificial financial crisis will force people who own homes to sell as well and by the target date of 2030, people will own nothing.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean. If confronting isn't being an asshole, then what is this test supposed to measure?

The original post doesn't explain who's considered an asshole at the end of the test. In fact, the whole point is that the test is opaque - the assholes are whoever someone at IBM subjectively doesn't want to hire. So who passes or fails the whiteboard test, and why? If it was as simple as "whoever takes over the dry-erase marker from the first person is an asshole", then they'd be ridding themselves of anyone who questioned authority. Therefore, what's the difference between this and any other test which tried to bar entry to anyone who'd introduce new ideas to a stagnant corporate culture?

Is there anything that isn't a war crime at this point?

Declaring war? War crime.

Stealing art? Believe it or not, also war crime.

“pinned in” - meaning “penned in”? I can see they’d sound the same in a New Zealand accent so just idly wondering
More likely, no one is willing to do the change paperwork just for that.

I swear some of the policies people on here come up with are so poorly thought out.
Be careful with that - some Rust team members are active around HN [1], some are even participating in the comment section for this post. So I guess we need to exclude them from the outsider-exclusive bikeshedding event.

I agree, bikeshedding can be fun, as long as it's not during a meeting.

My knowledge of Chinese is slim (and getting worse!) but 饭 is indeed "rice". However, it is also used as "meal" in a lot of contexts.

It's common to say 吃饭 (eat rice) as a way of saying "to have a meal".

Unsure what it is supposed to mean in this context though.

(note: also don't trust a random person on the internet - me - with your translations)
What exactly do you take offense with?

I do have experience using both C and Rust. Arguably, my C++ is very limited but things like C++ being a relatively large language are well established facts and quite uncontroversial.
At the same time, it's easy to think Australia's doing a good job if you've never experienced well-run government services (like Singapore). What's more, Australia's online services have somehow managed to get worse every year since around 2010.

Last I checked, there's still no way for me to lodge a corporate tax return electronically, it needs to be via paper or an agent. SASIC failed to notify me - by either physical mail or e-mail - that an annual fee was due, slugged me with a late penalty, then refused to reverse it when I complained and showed that their own online system had no trace of an invoice. MyGovID (or whatever its latest incarnation is) literally took an hour to validate a passport scan. My mother just returned from overseas and was required to download an (Android/iOS only) app, create an account and fill out a whole range of personal details simply for a health declaration.

It truly feels like public service management keep handing blank cheques to (probably Big 4) 'digital transformation consultants' to charge millions for project after shitty half-baked project, with no regard for whether actual improvements are being made.

Sam Walton hated .99 for some reason, so Walmart prices are never that.
GP must think the maximum tax rate is reached at 5 million euro a year. In most Euro countries you're at 45% (combining both social security and income tax) at around 50k/year. Or actually close to 60% taxed if you count the 33% paid by the company in social security tax that is somewhat hidden to the employee.
Very similar here in the Netherlands... House prices are growing fast.
I support government-owned housing at a variety of sizes and configurations, but I don’t want government involved in providing luxury housing. Government studios, 1BRs, 2/1s, 3/2s, 4/2.5s, and 5/3s for basic housing needs for singles and families? Absolutely.

Government 10 bedroom, 9000 sqft seaside mansions? Not just no, but hell no!
Funnily enough I have ~40 smart devices in my home, around 30 IKEA and 10 Aqara, controlled by Home Asssistant on a raspberry pi with a ZZH USB stick — aside from some initial fiddliness where the aquaria devices would pick a random peer to connect to instead of a peer with good signal, it’s all working pretty great :D
Why should labor be rewarded but not capital? Seems like an arbitrary distinction. Does your family allow anyone to farm and extract value from their land? No? Then they're no different than a landlord.

People mischaracterize the ease in which landlords make money. Take the past two years and eviction moratoriums for example. Landlords in the United States in many areas had to allow tenants to rent without being able to remove them for non-payment.

Landlords inherently have to be well capitalized in order to properly maintain the house as most individuals are not experts in all trades.
Nice blog style btw
I'm currently living in Tokyo and have family visiting from NZ. I've already had a few uncomfortable conversations about when I'll be coming back. Realistically I won't be, not only would I lose more than half my salary, but I would then have to dedicate a large portion of what's left on an overpriced hovel that's probably rotting from the inside. It's no wonder that most of the people I graduated with left the country long ago. Those who stayed had well off parents who could get them onto the property ladder.

Burnout has become such a catch-all term as to be effectively meaningless by now.

In our professional lives, we are used to set quantified KPIs in a SMART way, and I wonder, why is it that our expectations are so comparatively low in our personal lives?
Czechia - 220K CZK per person with average household 2.1 people makes 462K CZK / 18823 EUR with average real estate price 3.751M CZK /153K EUR (65m2, data from end 2021) so roughly 8 yearly average household incomes to get average 65 m2 apartment with prices varying a lot across regions (in Prague would such apartment cost almost exactly double price)

That's like saying why can't I use HTTP without packet reliability from TCP or QUIC. Packet reliability, or security in your case, happens on a lower network layer. Just because HTTP lacks packet reliability, that doesn't mean that it now sucks.
If you want to do a comparable structure on this subject you need to set many parameters. There are some resources you can use for this, i.e. https://world-statistics.org/. Anyways, tax level is not the only indicator for the purchasing power in a population since it is often related to public services and common support programs.
similar in the southwest - Cornwall prices are crazy at the moment thanks to the mass migration from the southeast during the pandemic
This is assuming the priced don’t increase. In many places, the prices increase so fast your downpayment grows faster than your savings.

Home value goes up 10%, from 1 million to 1.1 million, 20% downpayment goes up from $200k to $220k. If you’re saving under $1666 per mo, you’re actually further away than you were last year.

In Vancouver, the average price is $1.36 million and it went up 21% in a year. For detached, $2.12 million/25% yoy.

Waiting and saving money is no longer a feasible housing strategy, unless you can save at least a few thousand every month.
> I find it infuriating when people calling themselves engineers don't follow any practice like this.

Andy Grove's (the engineering legend) wisdom is summed in one sentence: "Everything is a process, which can be improved."

If you don't have a process for solving a problem (where problem is as implied by the parent), you are not engineering.
You think houses will stand for long without any maintenance?
The most important point is the first one.

Ask yourself what’s the problem you’re trying to solve

Be sure that you understand it deeply, and that you at least have an idea of how would you know that the problem is solved.

But I think this does still not stress enough how important truly understanding the problem is. More often than not, the problem you are immediately facing is not the problem you should solve. When you are facing some problem, there might be a more or less obvious way to solve it. But then think again. And again. Is this really your actual problem or did you go wrong much earlier? If this is indeed the case and you can identify the true root problem, you will immediately know - not only will your immediate problem suddenly become trivial, but you will also see how many other things that always did not seem quite right could be improved.

In USA this isn't true. We bought a house using an FHA loan and put down less than 5% and our interest rate was lower than 3% if I remember correctly. Maybe not as reasonable as you are imagining but it was really low in our mind.

Try meditation, Yoga Nidra, NSDR, whatever works for you. You'll really be amazed by the effects it has on your mind. Especially NSDR/Yoga Nidra. It has been life changing career wise and just in regards to how I view the world, how I think about code and just everything in general. It'll help you clear your mind which is one of the most underrated things in life but at the same time crucial to performance. That's the only advice I feel is suitable except the for the common sense (switch jobs, projects, take a break, etc.).

I've done something similar, but with JUCE [1] - which is a very amazing framework for building audio software, plugins, synthesizers and things.

I tell you, there are very few things more satisfying than seeing the same high performance C++ codebase running on Windows, Linux, MacOS, iOS and Android .. and the users don't know, don't care, and remain happily oblivious to the fact that none of the controls they are so gleefully slinging around are native. They Just Work™. (Including with Accessibility features..)

Neither impossible nor tough, but also not a clean way of managing state. You need to keep track of all past things you once did but no longer need.
That depends on income though, surely. If someone is on $1M a year, even 90% going to rent would be quite sustainable if the other living expenses are affordable. On the other hand if someone's on $10k a year they'd still live poorly even if rent was free.
Who is going to build these structures? Tradesmen today are already overbooked. And they’re going to work on projects that pay the best. That’s probably not affordable housing projects at scale.

The point is between land, materials, and labor, a lot of people can’t afford what they think they deserve.
I'm in this state for the larger part of my life, and I have somewhat succeeded. I can give you advice, but it goes tangential to accepted normie HN happy-go-lucky wisdom.
The majority of places where housing is a problem are places where it makes far more sense to go through the short term pains of minimizing car usage in favor of long term space optimization. Cars take an obscene amount of space when combining everything required to keep individual car ownership afloat.

Almost all the problems you present can be solved by planning differently. You don't need bulk grocery shopping with a shop open nearby in walking distance, available at least once every 3 day. Big housing furniture is a rare occurrence and can be delivered, or you can rent a car capable of transporting it. Punctuality can be solved socially. The main problem is density, and cities certainly don't have a shortage of population density.

Car ownership is a huge luxury with a giant price tag, and it's finally catching up to society.
You've never worked at a large enterprise, have you? You'll at most interact with people in your direct product group, which are likely well below 100 people. IME often even below 50.

You're delusional if you think that the people being in the same building changed that whatsoever. And especially if you think that connections across buildings randomly happened without a specific goal.

Sure, you see them in the hallway or in the street, might even nod into their direction if you're feeling particularly social that day... But that's it. And people working in different cities might as well be separate companies.

disclosure I work for balena as an engineer.

There are many ways to evaluate if a company is trust worthy, that's up to you to judge, but ill provide some background info.

balena is a venture backed company, the team is about 100 people and we have some notable investors and advisors see https://www.balena.io/team

balena's revenue generating product is balenaCloud, which is a sass cloud offering for companies to manage their IoT devices. https://www.balena.io/cloud

If you don't want to use the sass offering we also have an open core version openBalena, anything you can run on balenaCloud you can run on your own machines using openBalena, but you will not have features like the dashboard or VPN. https://github.com/balena-io/open-balena
US: North Korea may be ready to conduct underground nuclear test this month
For anyone looking to get rid of fruit flies, leave a small shot glass full of some sweet vinegar (white wine vinegar, balsamic, apple cider) with a few drops of dish soap. The sugar attracts the flies and the dish soap breaks the surface tension and causes them to get trapped in the liquid. Works a treat.
Around 4-5% right now I believe.
it's just that the market is different in different countries.

Americans pay much more for the same work. That said, you can probably find some remote jobs that pay US salaries in Italy if you look around a bit.

> A large cheese pizza might be three times more radioactive than a banana

So thats why the food industry stopped using potassium chloride (known as the good salt) and continued using even more sodium chloride in their food. We have the Sodium Potassium pump in virtually every cell of the body and Sodium keeps the Potassium out of the body so you dont have to wait for nuclear decay!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium%E2%80%93potassium_pump

Cool, high salt food stops you becoming even more radioactive.

Seriously though, I do like the way the message has been got across, things like
"every second you roll 21 dice. If they all come up 6s, you decay.", I think more people can relate to the timescales so they know just how radioactive they become. Personally I dont know why we arent all sucking Potassium Iodide lozenges considering the amount of Potassium-40 there is in the environment. Maybe thats why Whales are the longest living mammals on the planet, the sodium chloride keeps potassium out of their bodies?
You probably just need to find something you’re actually interested in to work on.
Eh I see your point but I disagree. Look for housing in a highly competitive city, and soon enough you stop caring about geographical specifics and instead look for some combination of useful attributes. In practice, that's fungibility.
Supporting old web standards is neat, and you make your goal with this clear in your article, but I can't help but wonder if just using a subset of the newer standards isn't a better idea in the long run.
HTML5 standardized a lot of the browser-specific features that plagued websites, and did away with a lot of ways to do the same thing with subtly different results. Supporting all these old methods and standards for compatibility purposes is part of the reason modern web browsers are so huge (the other part being overzealous standards), so I wonder if someone couldn't go and try to figure out a subset of the current standards that are simple to implement, so simpler browsers can be made for older machines, and people have an easier time making sites that can run on old machines without digging into arcane behavior of old browsers, and having to hackily support both.
I agree, it was super useful.i also loved the way you could call any DLL function on the system, making it very useful as 'glue'

However it severely missed multi threading. You could make things semi -multithreaded by making sure everything was event-based but there were still so many calls that would lock the UI.
Hmmm. I'm not sure that's true. I doubt modern voice-print analyzers are anywhere near sophisticated enough to be able to tease out timing and pronunciation if you've modified the sound beyond a simple pitch shift.
ASDA (subsidiary of Wal-Mart) fuel stations in the UK always have the fuel price ending in .8 (e.g. 175.8p per litre) while pretty much EVERY other fuel station always has prices ending in .9.

It gives a feeling that they're slightly cheaper than the competition, I think. Even if the more significant digit is more expensive sometimes, people don't remember that part as much because it varies from day to day.
Damn all the people who live in a city temporarily then? College students, temp workers etc
"One of the many things", so not the only thing, but a thing nonetheless.
My first paid programming job while in college was writing VB5 (then VB6) Windows CRUD apps. Given the built in controls and controls packs one could purchase, I made some amazing looking GUIs that were pixel perfect. I think even now, it's hard to find something better for that narrow use case.

VB.Net IMO was a step back.

VB wasn't some great language, but the entire system was very productive and worked well with other MS technology of the time like MSSQL and Access.
We already have voters deciding how much housing gets built. The result is we have not enough of it.

We’ve also seen, during this pandemic, what happens to rental prices when landlords are powerless over tenants. They go up. And landlords discriminate harder against tenants who look like they’ll be bad tenants if they can’t easily evict.

And just as my ability to get sued is what allows me to enter contracts, my ability to get evicted is what lets me pay cheap rent.
Do you have any sources that support this?

And what makes this an artificial financial crisis? As far as I see it, much of recent inflation is happening as an effect of all COVID financial support programs and the effects on supply system because of lockdowns and turning down factory production too aggressively. And now additionally the effects of sanctions and stopping of energy imports from Russia after Russian aggressive move into Ukraine. Hardly artificial except if you believe that Covid or Russian aggression is manufactured by a conspiracy of some rich people in the WEF...

And what will force current home owners to sell a home? Since in this country you loose more money renting than owning.
That is cool! I crawl upwork for this, to find out latest skills in need.
