I had an interview for a job as a Perl programmer in the late 1990s.

At the time I had about three years programming Perl, and I was keen to work in the (at the time) hot area of programming for web sites. I was working in C++ on Windows, fun enough but not as fun as Perl (it was the 1990s)

I prepared carefully for the interview. Making sure I was clear about what I was expert at, what I was good at, and the parts of Perl that I was not so good at. At the interview I started out by carefully detailing all that I was expert and good at, took about five minutes, I thought it would help because if what I was good at was not what they wanted I could get back to work and no harm done....

After my careful exposition the first question the interviewer asked me was: "Can you do object orientated Perl?" Clearly they had not understood a word I said, they were asking questions from a list after waiting for me to finish and I did not want to work for this firm. What a waste of time.

So I decided to see just how much of their time I could waste. I carefully answered all the questions from their list, in as much excruciating and technical detail as I could. I watched them squirm. At the end of the list, there was the pro forma "any questions?". You bet! I had a lot!!

In the end the interviewer was standing behind my chair, not quite physically pushing me out, but clearly very pissed.

I was correct about not wanting the job. Three years later, after the company went broke, I had a contract trying to fix a site they worked on. Where their idea of OO Perl had been An Object for a SQL table, AN Object for Every Row, an Object for Every Value..... A huge mess.

That was my first experience of "HR interview first" using outsourced HR firm. What a waste of money, and a red flag

I have not faced that level of rudeness, and I do think for something so egregious it is totally valid to terminate the interview (while explaining why), but I'd be curious how the other interviewers handled it.

If that happened I would actually directly ask the other interviewers "Did I do something wrong or say something to offend him/her". Put the ball in their court and hear what they have to say.

I also love swat535's suggestion to end the interview with "Thank you for the opportunity, I don't think I'm a good fit for this position"

Also, you are right, I'd treat that as a data point into whether this is a company you want to work for.

I once had a company ask me to interview (one of their recruiters reached out to me) and I was so so on it, but curious, so I took time off and scheduled a technical phone interview. 5 minutes after the interview should have started (I was waiting for the phone call and wondering whether I had messed up the scheduling), I received a brusque email from the engineer meant to interview me "I don't have time to interview you, reach out to our recruiter".
You can bet my interest in the company tanked and when the recruiter tried to re-schedule me (without so much as an apology) I declined and ask they not contact me in the future. Because I figured either.

1: They hired jerks
2: Their engineers were so stressed that they viewed an interview as yet one more burden.

I have been on the other side where a candidate we were interviewing (at the time I was a junior engineer and my interview partner was a Senior engineer).
The candidate was so rude/condescending to her (but not to me, I wonder why) that after we finished our interview session we told HR and they cancelled the rest of his interviews and thanked him for his time.

Seems like a more robust solution would be to just fix the bad bankruptcy laws instead of "regulating" every possible variant of "company has custody of X which is actually owned by customer Y". There ought to be a simple way to declare: "this is not company property and is off limits to company creditors in the event of a liquidation".
This is the real answer. While I of course support hardening security I have to think that Google has other motivations by introducing these restrictions on the system cert store. There are legitimate use cases where you want want to MITM yourself (or your employer). This combined with cert pinning combined with use of encrypted DNS (which is definitely not a bad thing in it of itself) means that Google is going to keep having access to useful tracking data.

> It seems reasonable that if someone is in a two person cessna they probably have some additional flight exposure, right?

I think that's true as you stated it, but this wasn't a little 150; it was a 208 (which seats up to 14). Very common to have non-aviation passengers in something like that. On the flip side, the fact that he was sitting front-right seat could be evidence he had some aviation background (e.g. as a pilot + aviation enthusiast, I would excitedly take that seat if it was an option).
I'm not sure they fought with quarterstaffs or rapiers in WW1.

I don't (I'd imagine it's of a similar quality to people in the US northeast whose ancestors came over on the Mayflower). However, I wouldn't be surprised at the finding that their presence has had a network effect (and a cultural effect) that encouraged people coming from Mexico more recently to settle in that area rather than (for example) spread into the Louisiana Purchase territory, for the same reasons that immigration from other countries also tends to settle and self-perpetuate in enclaves.

> It takes very little effort to be an Eagle Scout. I completed all requirements including the community project aside from the board review before I turned 13.

It really varies from troop to troop. Ours is old-school, by the book, multiple leadership positions required for half-year terms. No one got an Eagle who was under 15 and the projects are very involved with construction or logistics. Tearing down and rebuilding a long wooden fence at a women's shelter, constructing display cabinets at a nature center, working with a local charity to collect hundreds of food boxes. Someone built a real footbridge over a stream, which not only required decent carpentry skills but also driving rebar through 8x8 posts into the stony bank with sledgehammers. I got poison ivy twice while clearing brush to make a nature trail and rebuild a garden at a local temple.

These projects are often the first time many youths have ever picked up a power tool or project managed anything.

The bureaucracy associated with the service project and application was stunning.
But that potential upside of a couple million is now facing a downside of the company not being able to raise their next round and facing layoffs on a 6-18 month runway. I always thought that economic downturns meant people race to the big companies for more security?

Of course, if you were already pulling 200/200 from a big company, you might have already banked enough of a nest egg to feel comfortable with the risk of startups.

Yes. I haven't yet watched talks from this IO, but it was exactly my impression from last year's IO and Chrome Dev Summit. There are some speakers, mostly dev rels, who clearly love speaking and are great at it; but most of the speakers were just woodenly reading from the screen. As if they are unaware that written language is different from spoken language, and it takes rare skills to write a speech and then read it back to the audience in such a way that would sound natural and engaging.
There are some pretty detailed comments on many of them if you click through to their call sites, and more can be inferred from the file names of the callers.

Let's take a look at `windowio.cpp` for example. This most-generic event fires every time you type any input character on the keyboard: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/blob/57c3953aca49f68ac...

It also has more-specific events for several different ways of selecting, copying, and pasting text: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/blob/57c3953aca49f68ac...

In `find.cpp` we can see it log every time you find the next result in the "Find" dialog, as well as when the dialog is closed: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/blob/57c3953aca49f68ac...

In `windowproc.cpp` we can see it log every time you resize a console window, close a console window, bring up the context (right-click) menu, drag-and-drop on to a console window:

- https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/blob/57c3953aca49f68ac...

- https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/blob/57c3953aca49f68ac...

This even extends outside the "Terminal" application wrapper itself, with a generic "LogApiCall" used to track e.g. any time any other process spawns a console window:

"Flying cars" made sense to me until I started flying. Now I think "driving airplanes" is the more appropriate phrase for what might be in the realm of possibility.

For example: here's how you'd prepare to visit distant relatives with each vehicle:

Car: load up however much weight you want, turn the keys and start driving. Low on gas? Just turn off at the next exit. Weather looks bad? Just drive slowly and carefully and you'll be fine.

Airplane: visually inspect your vehicle, be careful distributing limited weight around the cabin, get a weather briefing and accept that many days you just can't fly, break out your slide rule (literally!) and plot a course between waypoints, with calculations accounting for wind deflection, magnetic variation, fuel burn, and various other factors. And don't forget to plan out refueling stops and emergency airfields too. Then run through your checklist and (once you get permission from the tower, if any) take off.

I never appreciated how user-friendly modern cars are until flying. And air travelers are spoiled by all-weather jetliners piloted by the pros.

Okay, good. Me assuming everyone has a GP is a great example. I'm in Norway, where everyone _does_ have a GP automatically. I could nonchalantly say "You should speak to your GP about X" as if having a GP was the norm, since that's the only thing I've ever experienced. When I see "you should speak to your lawyer about X", I'm reading that as the same kind of assumption that "having" a lawyer is the norm; that speaking to a lawyer you have an established relationship with is just a normal thing to do.

They shouldn't have acted that way, but we should be wary about generalizing a person from a single mistake or a company from a single mistake.

You can always turn down a job offer if one is extended if the company rubbed you the wrong way, I can't see how you'd be better off terminating an interview rather than completing it. ... unless they started talking about something illegal or something like that.

This is a mature industry; each company simply doesn't have a lot of new groundbreaking stuff to announce every year. It's iterative.

And a lot of the seemingly groundbreaking announcements then don't go on to pan out either (I'm thinking of Magic Leap here). If you don't care about realism/follow-through, then you have very exciting announcements; just don't expect anything announced to ever pan out.

python is more or less a scheme with syntax training wheels that make it a bit more beginner friendly.

Not being facetious either. it has the same semantics and a lot of python's early adopters were former lispers.

That said, scheme the language is much more powerful than python. in exchange for the easy syntax, python lost macros and took on a crippled lambda syntax.
Correct, this changed in Android 7.
I wonder if it is the result of the LAPSUS$ hack. This was their statement from early March:

"After evaluating our position and Nvidia's, we decided to add one more requirement."

"We request that Nvidia commits to completely Open Source (an distribute under a FOSS License) ther GPU drivers for Windows, macOS and Linux, from now on and forever."

"If this request is not met, on Friday we will release the complete Silicon, Graphics and Computer Chipset Files for all recent Nvidia GPUs."
While that's really weird, I think you handled it properly in-the-moment.

Sometimes there are difficult people, sometimes you're catching people at their very-worst due to hidden reasons.

Unless there's an imminent worry about someone's health or safety, one reasonably professional way to handle such situations is to continue with the planned, important tasks, then discuss/take-action on the exceptional behavior with a little distance, in another forum better-suited to that.

And, since there were other interviewers there who were the flouncers' coworkers, and you seem to have been in their premises, if they didn't make a big deal about the situation in the moment, you didn't really have any more obligation than perhaps a shocked-look, or brief "that was weird" comment at most, before following their cue to get-back-to-business.

That doesn't mean the concern ends there, though.

On a subsequent day, and certainly before scheduling any separate set-of-interviews or considering any offer, it'd have been appropriate to ask the other interviewers, or whatever manager/HR-person/recruiter who's your main point-of-contact, about the incident. It'd be appropriate to ask if the person who stormed-out is often like that, if you'd be working with them, and so forth.

You'd want to sound-out whether they're some burn-out/malcontent on-the-way-out, or a difficult-but-essential person who others tiptoe-around & try to keep productive-but-contained, or something else.

And even if you progressed no further with the potential employer, perhaps even because the tantrum-person nixed you, it'd be appropriate to offer some feedback that you found their behavior off-putting.

But also more generally: while both sides of an interview should work to hold-back snap judgements until all relevant info is available, given the value of skilled professionals' time, at any point where there's certainty that one side or the other doesn't want to proceed, it's OK to cut things short.

If you're the candidate & become sure these aren't people you'd want to work with, you can absolutely say you've decided you're not interested & go. And if the 1st or 2nd interviewer in a series of many interviews achieves certainty that a candidate falls irredeemably short of what you thought when you brought them in for, or the projects' needs, it is a gift to both the candidate & the later interviewers not to spend another 4-12 person-hours going-through-the-motions.

Personal anecdote regarding interviewing with AWS:

Pre covid, I had two in person interviews with different AWS teams. One in San Francisco and on in Seattle. Both technical interviews were tough and the interviewers were very polite, helpful, and gracious, even when I would struggle. They were also very interested in my answers to the sorts of questions about “what’s your favorite language?” Or “what sorts of hobbies do you have?”

Even though i did not go through with either position, my experience interviewing for AWS was a very pleasant one.
