Not sure how it is now, but in investment banking interviews, interviewers definitely used to be rude or obnoxious sometimes. To an extent, this was a deliberate move to test a candidate's reaction. If the pressure rises when the market goes south on the trading floor or when preparing an important presentation for a merger, temper might rise as well, and there is little time for niceties. Dealing with it reasonably graciously is an important qualification for working in that kind of environment.

Now, I'm not advocating being an asshole. But when working with top people in high pressure environments it certainly helps if you can deal with assholes. It is a bit reminiscent of Postel's law: Be strict in what you send, but tolerant in what you accept.

In this case, it could be that there was some other important meeting the person had to attend, and didn't want to interrupt the interview process with an explanation or goodbye.

If you conclude that this is not the environment you want to work in, fair enough, and concluding the interview politely at that point would certainly have been an option - it seems that the organisation and you were not a good fit anyway.

>If you are a proponent of the Both Sides Fallacy in the year 2022, you need a hard look at reality of the last 100+ years and the last 16+ months. You're helping the red wade and helping to move the Overton Window further right, learning nothing from the protest and non-voters of 2016, paying no attention to the reality of how many positive things have been done in the past 16 months, and things that have been 180 different from the previous four years, but you just see the Both Sides headlines.

If you're going to criticize over-simplistic narratives, consider the flaws of your own. "Both sides are the same" is not a fallacy when both parties have regularly voted to increase the power of the state, cater and pander to their chosen special interest groups at the expense of the average citizen, and continue to punch holes into enumerated rights of the constitution. If you are of the view that the ends justify the means so long as you get your favored party into power, then your methods are no better than those of the elephant men.

There is nothing remotely logical about voting for either of the parties, even as a buffer against the excesses of the other. If you can only conceive of politics in terms of binary spectra, you've already lost.
You can iterate and refine a symbolic regression model to get better and better predictions. You certainly don't need to start from scratch.
> Boston certainly fits that model -- it's price problems have nothing to do with any shortage in construction (construction is booming) or 'housing ban' (obviously there's no meaningful ban, because construction has already happened in large numbers for over a decade)

This is poor reasoning. The fact that some housing got built does not mean that there weren't significant impediments to building it, many of which still remain. Or that even during the boom that enough housing was built to sustain increased demand. There has been a historic housing boom alongside an enormous population surge over the past ten years (nearly 10% in the city proper alone). The boom is still not keeping pace with demand, and restrictions on multi-family housing remain. Here's a good article that gives an overview of the policy issues locally: https://commonwealthmagazine.org/opinion/on-housing-wu-shoul...

In particular:

> In Boston, on account of its antiquated zoning laws, it’s easier to build a leather tannery than it is to site an apartment building. The zoning code is written in such a way that it is nearly impossible to build multi-family housing, without going through the time consuming and costly process to obtain a zoning variance. Even then, projects are at the mercy of abutters and neighborhood associations that are often diametrically opposed to any form of development in their backyards, particularly projects with a higher unit count.

Also,

> Most high prices have literally nothing to do with supply or demand in any traditional (person-based) sense.

Citation needed. Population is growing faster than housing supply. High prices are exactly what you would expect in this situation. Building more housing is the only long-term solution.

There has never been a steady state. The "unclaimed land" you speak of was actually claimed by native Americans, who have now been eliminated.
Scale and culture. For scale, see https://blog.pragmaticengineer.com/software-engineering-sala... for more. There just isn't a lot of money in only a local market, and trying to accommodate a dozen countries worth of languages, culture and standards is far more difficult than one.

For culture, a lot of European countries feel it is justified developers earn similar to other white collar jobs. It doesn't have the "heightened" status I often feel the US seems to give developers. Other white collar jobs don't really earn a lot either. Tech jobs kind of stop growing at senior, and require pivoting into management at least partially for higher income. Speaking of management, it is kind of unheard to earn more than your manager, unless you solidly outrank them in seniority. As a result, whatever the manager is paid, forms a tight glass ceiling for oneself.

OP's approach is punitive enough and really is all you need in most situations. Although sinking to rudeness can be a natural and spontaneous manifestation of anger, it's rarely worthwhile. When facing a rude or angry person you further lose because they managed to pull you into their own personal hell.

Such disagreeable situations call for calm and playful assertiveness. You catch the opposite party off guard by politely calling them out and exposing them for being an asshole. You leaving thereafter also strips them of the opportunity to correct their immediate behavior and thus, robs them of a chance to demonstrate that it was, in fact, a misunderstanding. That can be quite frustrating, since most rude people really like to project the veil of being decent human beings and hate the idea of someone thinking less of them.
This depends very much on the subreddit. There are still some fantastic communities with top-notch discourse! On the other hand, I don't remember discourse being worthwhile on large subreddits even in the good old days of 2015.
I really dislike how you continue to dismiss or question what happened to the OP while continuing to find excuses for this type of behaviour.

Same same. Twitter bends its "free speech" in China so that it can operate in that country. Its all about the money to them, they'd rather get that Chinese-money than to piss off their new overlords and actually make a racket about free-speech issues over there.
That's a great, suggestion thank you.

Before we built Markdoc, our documentation was powered by ERB (embedded Ruby templates). Having content mixed with arbitrary code made it incredibly hard to reason about either. Because Markdoc is a declarative language rather than imperative, there's no intermediate state to keep track of, making things easier to follow.

At Stripe, both engineers and tech writers contribute to documentation. Markdoc makes things easier for everyone by keeping the content separate from the code, while still making it possible to build more interactive experiences when you want to. (For example, our integration builder [0] is also powered by Markdoc.)

"When I expressed my dismay they told me they didn't actually want a solution from me but were just trying to determine whether they could work with me or not, because that's how they came up with solutions at their company"

I would say that has a certain logic, too and maybe all in all you were just not a good fit for that company culture. Not that you lacked skills, but simply that your social norms are not compatible with that company (the company seems special, though)

It seems both parties should have ended the interview more early.

> that said minimum wage hasn't been increased from $7.25 in 13 years now, while cost of living and inflation HAS gone up.

And it never will go up when conservatives have a majority in the Senate, but regardless wages have been growing (1)

> How often have wages gone up at a rate higher than inflation? I can't remember it

According to the same source, there were multiple periods since 2007 where wages rose faster than inflation

That's not to say that wages shouldn't grow higher or make up for the periods where wage increase is below inflation... but at the same time, it's dishonest to point to the floor set by the government as evidence, when in periods of high labor demand and economic growth we see wages go up in (since you can't hire anyone at the minimum wage!)

The recent banning of sideloaded accessibility apps is another blood curddling cry against agency, another slamming shut of the door.

Absolutely right to be skeptical. The regional demographics in many of these overlapped regions have gone through comprehensive changes over centuries under drastically different regimes. The map about English posessions in 1154 vs. first round of French presidential election is just an absolute straw-grasping joke. ~900 year's worth of cultural, demographic, and economic shifts reduced to basic visual pattern recognition AKA the thing that causes people to see Jesus on a piece of toast.

The map about Charlemagne's empire vs. 6 original members of the future EU is a joke too. The latter was a product of the reality of post-WWII European politics (Iron Curtain, Allied occupation of Germany and Austria, and Spain being a neutral country ruled by de facto dictatorship). It's fun to look at patterns and think they are neat. It is absolutely not fine to pretend these resemblances somehow have a direct & causal relationship without properly navigating the long and complex multi-faceted history behind them.
Exception handling is necessary to efficiently support languages that need it without giving them direct control over the stack. I'd prefer if exception handling was provided with a more general abstraction though.

GC is necessary for the same reasons, to prevent each language from bringing it's own GC and to enable cross-language interop.

JIT is already implied by the very nature of Webassembly being an architecture independent stack machine, so every runtime has to already be a JIT compiler anyway (except interpreters). Exposing JITing to Wasm code is a natural progression and very valuable.

Not that the WASM spec work doesn't have problems (looking in as an outsider), but the existence of these features are not my complaints.
It doesn't really matter why - I don't see any excuses for rude to someone in an interview - particularly someone who has just supplied a perfectly reasonable answer.
It does look amazing!!

Consumer gear and media sources really were crappy. In my case, I was not around pro gear much, but did see it some. I was good at electronics and would get consumer grade devices, sometimes swap tubes in, and other times optimize the device for the single purpose it would serve.

In the case of computer display, that might be adjusting everything to work well for a computer, but you might not want to watch a movie on it. Even some of the older tube type sets I worked with could perform reasonably, hitting 400 lines or so. Just enough to work with 80 column text reasonably, but not with excellence. At the time though, it was pretty nice compared to the default many people worked with.
Air conditioning is my pet peeve. Surprised I didn't see more mentions of it.

Wish i had had the presence of mind to pause and do the same in a recent interview (where despite 'pushing back' against a counter comment, the interviewer insisted that I didnt 'push back' enough). I retrospect, i had asked a couple of probing questions in an earlier interview about his funding for the initiatives he had proposed, and he might not have taken kindly to those questions (unjustifiably, i feel).
Another git on the panel yawned in my face halfway thru a 45 minute interview. I've been in more than one interview situation where the interviewer seems tired out, hasnt had a good nights sleep etc. Comes across incredibly rude.

That blog post looks pretty bad here in 2022. The rationale to justify the suspension is vague enough that anyone could be suspended for just about any reason. There is a lot of weasel phrasing in it ("...may also serve as encouragement" [according to who?], "...is being received by a number of his supporters" [who?], "...also being interpreted" [again, by who?], "...is being interpreted..." [by who?]).

It reminds me of forums I was on in the early 2000s; moderators would ban unsavory folks. How that actually happens is not "a rule is broken leads to a ban", but rather, rules are combed through when a ban is desired.

Liberation Without Victory (an interview with Zelensky) - https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2022/04/ze...

with

https://www.occrp.org/en/the-pandora-papers/pandora-papers-r...

.. which shows in no uncertain terms that Zelensky is deeply into sleazy offshore creations. He was offshore, before he even started the TV company, that he owns, that propelled him to fame, staring as the president of the Ukraine (in the show), which certainly planted in the minds that possibility in advance of actually winning the election and taking half the production company as his governmental staff!! You'd think his script-writers wrote this!

Key Findings from the Panama Papers link:

"Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and his partners in comedy production owned a network of offshore companies related to their business based in the British Virgin Islands, Cyprus, and Belize.

Zelensky’s current chief aide, Serhiy Shefir, as well as the head of the country’s Security Service, were part of the offshore network.

Offshore companies were used by Shefir and another business partner to buy pricey London real estate.

Around the time of his 2019 election, Zelensky handed his shares in a key offshore company over to Shefir, but the two appear to have made an arrangement for Zelensky’s family to continue receiving money from the offshore."

Why don't trustworthy, quality "journalists" discuss Zelensky's dodgy dealings?! Hmmm.. Surely not because they are control system mouthpieces?!

Companies will always need a global presence especially the larger ones I’ve worked for. I’ve worked with people all over the world mostly the US, India, and EU/Europe.

The idea that you shouldn’t get into IT in the US is silly. Companies need global workforces and most American companies aren’t going to outsource everything. I worked for MSPs and interviewed with many last year. Yes SAAS and hybrid outsourced infra to MSPs is common, especially in Europe.
