Same thing happened with Brexit. Many British citizens looked for applying for second citizenship by descent to maintain EU status.

I myself applied for a Irish passport since my gradparents are Irish citizens.
Easy answer: you don’t and accept the ambiguity.
> Why shouldn't a "senior" developer know what a binary tree is?

Well, wait a minute. He didn't say it's unreasonable to ask what a binary tree is. He said he was glad he wasn't asked to invert a binary tree on a whiteboard. There's a big difference between those things. I think your reading is uncharitable.
It's art (most importantly modern art), and the museum might have gotten their money's worth and then some with those two blank canvasses.

I was going to write that these machines are easy to use and the interface is logical. But then I looked at the instructions and realized that the operator requires that the license plate should be entered as a first step. The rest of the interface flows from that IMO stupid requirement (alphanumeric keypad, long usage instructions). However, there is still an obvious main display and main keypad that you start the process on.

The separate display and numeric keyboard unit is obviously part of the card reader that you only need to interact with if you want to pay with a card. Its presence as an entirely isolated unit within the machine is mandated by payment processors. It is a separately certified secure enclave that shields the card payment authorization process from the rest of the system so your information, most importantly your PIN, can't leak.

The text on the machine is actually well structured: T&C glued on at the very top. The usage instructions are in the wide top window. The smaller window to the side details the parking fees.
I wish I had a good answer for you.
Wow. Massive, massive omission. If true, the person who publicized this either tossed it off without doing much homework or had a serious ideological axe to grind.
The emphasis placed on big-O in interviews is weird though. Accidentally quadratic code happens, sure, but the way the industry uses it as an interviewing shibboleth makes it feel like this is a safety critical issue; as if at some point a developer used an O(n log n) algorithm when an O(n) algorithm existed and people died.

Complexity can be insidious, and it can lead to annoying bugs you only discover in pathological data cases, but it is in no way as important in software development as correctness.

Code that runs slow over pathological input is nowhere near as dangerous as code that goes into an infinite loop over pathological input.

Your O(log n) recursive tree traversal is beautifully efficient. Too bad it stack overflows with trivial tree depths.
+/- 7 on a scale from 50 to 150+ using different tests at different periods is very stable. It’s kind of shocking how little stuff like lack of caffeine alters the results while people really do score widely differently.

Not that I think the score actually means much, but consistency isn’t the problem.
As an Erlang devotee, when I switched jobs and started writing Python I was happy to find that destructuring worked for function arguments, only to be disappointed when I realized Python 2 was about dead and Python 3 had dropped it because “no one uses it”.
Purely on the charity side, I've provided a poor family with a free house to live in for about 25 years and running.

I still think this is less helpful than the fact that I employ low wage workers. If the tax and regulatory environment continues to get worse, I will have to lay of these workers off and know first hand that their lives will be worse because there will not magically be a better job for them to go to.

Interesting that the selection of branches includes Belgravia and Notting Hill Gate, two of the most expensive areas in the UK

The branch list does not include Camden Town where there are homeless people sleeping in the streets near HSBC.

>Or “do kids have such a weak will that they cannot study by themselves?”

Yes, but this isn't new. Half of the job of a teacher is precisely this. They're there to make you do the work. After all everything the teacher teaches you is already there in the textbook. All you have to do to learn it is pick up the book and read it. But very few will actually do it without being prompted.

Increasing the sample size is useful to get nice statistical properties out of noisy data. That doesn't mean you cannot learn anything from tiny samples, especially when the data isn't noisy (which is the case here, since they have the same set of genes, a lot of the noise is gone).

Yes and everyone is doing it and everyone who is doi.g it is earning 10k more or perhaps even 50k and more just because they do that.

They are not better at the job than you are (at least this alone is not an indication) but they still get hired over the other group of people.

So I do prepare for my interviews. I'm increasing my chances.

And btw I learn things when preparing for an interview so while I don't like it, I still learn.
You have better alternatives: bitwarden for those looking for a cloud solution, keepassXC who prefer to keep the data under their own control. Plus, they are both free/libre.
While I agree with the article, readability is rarely precisely defined. What appeared to a veteran programmer be readable can be confusing to novice programmer. It then begs the question aren't veterans meant to understand a program faster. I have seen teams spend countless hours arguing what makes code readable
Heh, I just downloaded PayByPhone a couple of days ago as I’m on holiday and it’s what all the machines here seem to use.

It’s a nice app! Many parking apps are pretty utilitarian in nature but found PayByPhone very easy to use—it feels very well designed to me.
I don't think there's anything wrong with watching it to learn something new like malmare dissection. I can appreciate the rawness of it, even if some consider it "boring", because it accurately shows how it really is. Editing it out presents a false idea about what really happens.

That said, watching something for the sake of it, without purpose or end goal feels odd4

Question for the more seasoned Mac/Linux folks on HN:

Powershell has been a gift in getting things accomplished in Windows. But one thing I've also come to enjoy using it for is quick and dirty interactions and scripting with REST APIs.

Things like Invoke-WebRequest, ConvertTo-Json/ConvertFrom-Json, Export-CSV, piping between almost everything, and the results being passed around like an object that I can use SQL-ish Select queries against, etc.

I find myself feeling like I'm missing something helpful when I'm on a Mac/Linux device. Is there a similar go to in the Mac/Linux world for this type of stuff? My current thinking is that I either have to start picking up Python or building a mental map of wget/awk/grep type commands that can be chained together for a similar effect, but I thought it best to try to learn from the wisdom of others first :-)
That's very well. I didn't pretend to say I am doing it right, and others not.

> And btw I learn things when preparing for an interview so while I don't like it, I still learn.

Well, I'm constantly learning whether or not I'm looking for a job.
I expected this to be about gravity distorting spacetime (often explained using a rubber sheet analogy). Nope, actual bedsheets.

No, it really must depend on what makes one suicidal. A cannot bear his environment, B is afflicted with a chronic pain, C practices inadequate self management, D relives traumas, etc.: if A improves diet, starts to exercise, solves the nuisance of a bad back and hindered sleep, then his situation will improve and yet he will go on hating his life after his own environment - but if A finds an environment that matches his personality and aspirations, he will probably be "happy" (literally - living the fortunate occurrence) even in spite of bearing other "nuisances". It does not seem logical otherwise.

It should probably be noted ("just to be sure" in terms of communication) that a number of those conditions may not have a practically easy solution. Also, that an absolute condition of suicidal tendency is not the only cause for suicide.
It's the start.

Well, the premise is that there are 40 guards guarding one person's wealth -- which is a hierarchy. The guards are below, the wealthy person is above. And you were talking about what keeps them in their place rather than taking over from below.

I'm just saying that underling guards in general don't actually need to believe in the narrative the guarded elite uses as self-justification. Maybe they do believe it, maybe they feel obligated to pretend to believe, maybe it's all naked self-interest... regardless, what really keeps them in their position is the grid of power/interest.
Yes, there are often probationary periods with varying degrees of formality. But, in practice, these are mostly reserved for something going really wrong in the hiring process, e.g. someone not being able to do things that they said they knew well.

A trial period could be the same thing but it could also be "We usually extend permanent offers to about a third after the trial period." If it's a formality that may be one thing. If it's an extension of the interview process, that's something else.
< 50 mm is just not enough. Anything bigger needs a proper armouring to have a chance to survive against AT weapons and nobody fields tank destroyers WWII-style anymore. So this leaves only one platform with armouring and big enough punch - tanks. Just look at videos in r/combatfootage, IFVs have a tough time there and constantly need to retreat and even tanks have a mines and AT thrown at them.

Whether we should have that record or not is completely orthogonal to the conversation about how remote workers force (or not) the others to behave in a certain way to accommodate the remoteness of these workers.
I can't help but feel this kind of thing is going to hurt AI.

Poetry seems perfectly placed in the zone of "something that feels like a high-level human achievent" mixed with "most people have no clue about what this involves".

It's like chess all over again.

Smart people can play chess well. A machine that can play chess well is smart. No, this is a stupid conclusion that never held up to any scrutiny even in the decades before we had real functioning chess computers to base our intuitions on.

There's another story on HN about AI doing IQ tests, the stupidity of which makes me angry.

Mechanical calculators can outdo human beings at specific tasks just as car jack can lift more than a human. This doesn't make them "strong" or "smart", they're just tools.

Cool, useful (sometimes) tools. Pretending they are magical beings doesn't really seem to help in any way, it doesn't even seem to be desirable if it was true which it obviously isn't so why do we keep doing it?
It's probably a combination of 1. retaining backwards compatibility with applications that don't interact well with these features and 2. exposing users to behaviors that are hard to understand and undo once they are activated by accident.

Reading this

> But ... they won't know the libraries let alone their intricacies and idiosyncrasies etc

triggered a related thought (also closely related to recent "how do you learn effectively?" and "I'm exhausted/burned out, what do I do?" HN threads):

In my most recent job-search, I found this type of expectation/requirement (specifically regarding deep (down to idiosyncratic) library (aka framework) knowledge & experience) to be the most off-putting. The likelihood that I will have used a specific library in the ecosystem your team/company has chosen in its pursuit of "teh hotness" is (to put it mildly) low, but I'm certain that my resume will be discarded, or worse, an interview process spun up but doomed because I'll be unable to regurgitate library documentation chapter and verse (much less idiosyncrasies (many of which may be version specific).

The proliferation of libraries/frameworks seems to be exponential; how would I ever acquire deep knowledge of the complete set of same that are considered "today's hotness" (both today and of the past N years) in an language ecosystem which I have extensive experience and familiarity with? My current employer/team has made its language and framework choices, and I'm bound to them for (typically) years, and I focus (for years) on being productive in that context. Am I expected (in the context of my next job) to have spent my non-working hours gaining/maintaining knowledge of both the contemporaneous competing frameworks (which current employer/team didn't choose, but came in close second, etc.) as well as each "new hotness" that comes along? The alternative appears to be that my future employment possibilities are continually being reduced/narrowed as the set of libraries/frameworks in popular use expands (exponentially) while my knowledge remains tightly focused within the domain. Even if I was willing to make an investment in self-study to learn a new library/framework well, given the above-described circumstance, what would be my criteria to make a wise choice? And if presented with the same question 6 months later, what is the likelihood I would make the same choice? I'm pretty sure the answer is not "100%".

In practice, I simply did not apply to the vast majority of job listings which I would have considered myself otherwise a good fit (i.e. could immediately grow into), due to this factor.

Once I started reading that they were trying to assess the political beliefs of the twins and measuring their feelings about things like collectivism, I started to smell that this was turning into political propaganda. Especially when they claimed one grew up in a more religious household. How does one measure that? Especially when there's a good chance there were different religions in both families.
It's ironic when they talk about "office collaboration" and "bumping into colleagues" but in reality you can't even talk about what you're doing to most (internal) people

Whenever I find myself wrapped around a post on these topics, I force myself back to 1 fundamental question:

> Will this action/design increase or decrease the amount of latency incurred on the hot path relative to the physical layout of my processor.

So far, keeping an eye on this has guided me well. There are no silver bullets either. async/await is elegant, but it incurrs substantial latency overhead compared to busy waiting over batches of work (which itself has obvious caveats).
Have there been any discussions or rumors when they will have the EV version of the F450 or F550? My neighbors and I would want one with a towing capacity of about 36k lbs. horses, cattle, etc... The diesel F550 is rated for 31k lbs. It needs to work well on roads covered in ice, dirt, mud and operate in ambient temperatures as low as -25F. I asked Ford in their web form but never received a response.

To convince folks here to purchase an EV truck it will have to tow more and have the same or better total cost of ownership. People here are also quite skeptical of anything that requires subscribing to features in vehicles. Many of them have already been burnt by farm equipment in this realm.
As far as I know Snowden never said Russia was a hypocritical free country (mostly probably because he knows it is not free).
