This is way more common than you think and it seems like it's a tragedy of the commons.

Companies struggle to hire, yet have crazy demands and interview practices that filter out good candidates with potential, because they're looking for the 'perfect candidate', whatever that means to them.

From my experience, the whole shortage in this industry is mostly companies being too picky, because they're afraid of the small chance of letting in a less ideal candidate. And I'm not even talking about unicorns/FAANGs/big-tech, but regular companies.

Good for you, realisticly not many people are that fortunate to find a nearby opportunity.

15 mins walk takes me nowhere, but remote work opens endless opportunities for me.
I don't think OP necessarily meant what they said on an international scale.

The first step would be to avoid the requirement when in the same city, state or country. To the extent possible, if there are legal reasons, maybe those should be reviewed. There are options for sure.

It's a better design, imo.

With PowerShell you can write a cmdlet in C# as a PowerShell module and have strongly typed input and output parameters for free. It's a revelation.

>Nope.

Apply a little imagination here. "I don't want to send 0.00001 cent transactions" becomes, "I don't think anyone else should be able to"

It isn't hard to see where this paternalistic frame of understanding leads. "I know what is best for the larger society, my values are the only valid ones, everyone else must adhere and agree"

If you cannot see where this goes astray, there's very little to say here on the Internet. The authoritarian impulse is more dangerous in my view than any of the imagined cryptocurrency boogeymen.

>"altcoins which have innovated beyond these issues", because it is ongoing despite these things.

Then perhaps we shouldn't generalize about all cryptocurrencies?

Finally, let us consider that all of the horrible things you cite are valid. What is the practical alternative to transacting in cryptocurrency, if not central bank currencies?

Does holding USD or other central bank currencies not finance wars around the world? If climate doom is horrible and non-violent transactions threaten you, how bad is war in your opinion?

Again the argument presented is an appeal to utopia. Even if we accept that cryptocurrency is dangerous and horrible, the present alternative isn't great either. Apply the same standard of logic and sloppy generalizations to central bank currencies.

Random thoughts:

(1) People were deeply and extremely risk-averse coming out of the 2008 crisis. And now we are _starting_ to see the other end of that spectrum. However, we are still far from the heights/throes of the dot-com boom. Those were some insane times when nothing even mattered.

(2) But keep in mind, the main driver of global economy is still increasing standard of living and middle class. And that’s far from over. We are still roughly 50% into land grab.

(3) If current pace of inflation persists, then you want to be in equities chasing cash flow in enterprises with pricing power. What you don’t want is to stay in cash. It appears counterintuitive because of all the things we experienced in 2000 and 2008. A vast majority of investors still base investment decisions with those two crises in mind. It’s a significant handicap.

I think you already have made that wager. My downside is $0 and my upside is $0.

Your downside is how much you’ve backed and your upside is the joy you’ll get when released.

.NET is still ignored a lot as consequence of FUD. But you are right, there is not much FUD.

The rest is spot on. Powershell has it space when you need manage windows and Linux Server using a shared platform. And that is where Microsoft puts it. As a .NET based management platform for services and operating systems on both, Linux and Windows.
I don't really get the debate. Surely people recognize that Apple is one of the most left-wing friendly (worker rights etc., you know the deal) and accomodating places to work at, if you care about such things. Surely people recognize that Apple was generous with the whole work from home thing. So now some people don't want to go back to the office, which is understandable, but there's one little problem from Apple's point of view, well actually one massive problem if you're upper management at Apple: for all the talk about the positives of working of home, there is a bottom line and that is the fact that productivity is down.

You can argument all day and night about how great WFH is, but if the management is seeing a drop in productivity, they will want you back at the office. THAT is why Apple (and others) is doing that. If you have a measurable productivity levels in your company (i.e. you're not Twitter), you should expect to be returning back to the office sooner or later because even if YOU are more productive, on average the productivity suffers with entire teams working from home.

And it just makes sense. It really does. Even if you don't want it to.

You can try to work hard and be focused, but not everyone can do that. I don't see people here talking about this often, but office isn't just a place for the employer to take advantage of you... it's a place where you're away from HOME on PURPOSE. You're supposed to get into a different head space, temporarily forget about your home life and issues and focus on work. How can you do that at home unless you have anything but a completely 100% supportive partner, no kids, no pets, no obligations or chores and an iron will? Most people don't have that... and for these people, working at the office will be more productive.
Yeah, they did, and within a month or two it was reinvested elsewhere. Whether it was pulling out of American Airlines in favor of more shares of Chevron, or doubling down on tech stocks. BRK doesn’t just sit on 150bn in cash for longer than they have to. Not saying they don’t sit on cash but they definitely don’t sit on it for a year or more.

>The only company that gave me any compensation for the interview process was GitPod

>Another thing to note is that I ended up not really preparing for the interviews. I feel like this is a bit of an arrogant move by me

And that's how they get you. You invest into what's essentially a second full time job, without any guaranteed compensation, yet somehow you feel you yourself are the arrogant one for not doing more. That's not even highlighting all the other emotional effects the process had on the author, and the author is by no means "average" in their methodology.

Let's push back against this, please.
The way to do this in Rust is to use “unsafe.” It essentially means “trust the programmer that this pointer is live.”

I don’t think there is a way around this. You’re dealing with a high-level runtime condition. There are no tractable ways to get compilers to understand these higher level runtime conditions, so conditions must be reproven at runtime. It needs an oracle. That oracle should be you but you’ve decided that you cannot be trusted. This appears to be somewhat of a contradiction. Should you even be writing this program in the first place?
I really really want to do this but am stuck on Gmail because of their spam filtering.

Is there ANY other provider that does spam filtering that actually works? I tried Fastmail, but I receive so much spam (>600 per day vs. ~20 non-spam per day) that only Gmail's spam filtering is good enough. I've tried others (like Fastmail) and typically ~50/day get through their spam filters, vs. at Gmail where on a typical day 1-2 get through.

(Why do I get so much spam? Because I've been using the same email address, never hiding it at all even on Usenet, for 25 years.)

I would pay a lot of money - like I'd be willing to pay 4x what Fastmail charges - to get off Gmail, but apparently nobody else can do spam filtering.
> Your 'cp' example is good - how do you fix it if your current user doesn't have write permission to the location you're trying to copy to, or if the disk is full, or if it's a volume that worked last time but it's not mounted now, or any one of many hundreds of reasons why a file can't be copied.

All of those problems could also occur with the GUI approach, and I'm not sure the error messages would allow a novice to fix the problem any better than on the command line.
Might be as simple as the decision maker assuming they won’t be around for the catastrophe. Or outright malice, for any number of reasons. “Hate of job” is a widespread phenomenon that people don’t even think they have to justify.
Where I work, the coffee room is pretty isolated. My office is actually the closest one, but I can close the door. When I am talking about the advantages of offices, I am thinking of good offices. No doubt that bad offices are almost always worse than working from home. Unfortunately, many companies have no idea (at least their upper management), about what makes a "good office". Otherwise the nonsense of "open space" would have stopped long ago.
Most digital nomads of my acquaintance bank in either their country of origin or in a regional hub. Getting access to an address sufficient to open a bank account is not terrifically difficult for socially established people who e.g. have family members in the middle class, capability to rent an apartment for at least a month and get a lease issued, etc.

There are a lot of people in the community who play a bit fast and loose with taxes but from a banking perspective they’re low risk retail accounts and, even if not in technical compliance for KYC, not out of bounds for tens of percent of the retail portfolio of many banks.

(Personal opinion disclaimer, yadda yadda, I would not identify as a digital nomad but have many acquaintances who do and am intimately personally and professionally acquainted with banking internationally.)

That's really interesting. In Germany poetry is handled differently. In the earlier years of what would be high-school there are poets like Jandel[0] and Morgenstern[1] in the curriculum who wrote a lot of funny, nonsensical poems playing with language a lot.
Later (if you do schooling aimed at getting you to university) there is a lot of in-depth reading of romantic[2]as well as clacissist (think the latet works of Goethe and Schiller) poetry. Also, at least in my Latin classes, we also read Ovid, as well as Shakespeare's sonnets.
These poems are analysed regarding their contents, as well as more formally concerning meter etc.

Yet, those who put their entire savings in the stock market last year are now significantly worse off than if they had just left it in cash.

Sure, their portfolios might bounce back at one point, but who knows when.

The requirements might be based on what’s achievable with reasonable efforts. Intuitively, I would think motorcycles are louder, but I may just be wrong (they are smaller and do less work, after all).

This logic may seem strange but it isn’t unusual. Some jurisdictions have different fuel efficiency and pollution standards for diesel/gas vehicles or different sizes for example. In those cases, it’s the only way to improve without abolishing the less efficient classes outright.

Alternatively, one could reason that motorcycles are used recreationally more often than cars, and that such activities have less legitimacy to annoy people.
