>"Yes, I let recruiters know that if I have to do a leetcode interview then they go to the back of my queue (I can do them decently well; I'm just exhausted with them and don't see value). If they're project based or where they want to look at my GitHub then they go to the front."

I'm curious what your views on interviews that require "take home projects." Companies have no skin in the game when they require you to use your nights and weekend hours to complete their project. As a result it's not uncommon to submit these and then be ghosted. I don't think I would agree to one now. The other issue is how many of these 4-5 hours can a person do in a month?

I have acquaintances that that couldn't pass this based on their common texting skills. There's probably no point to argue about what the Turing test "is", but the definition in this comment chain is pretty uncompromising - I can't imagine fooling any (meaning all, I assume) humans; there is too much ambiguity in the signal.

"Are you going to be at the blah blah because I need blah". response: "I really wqnt it". Nonresponsive, typos, what does 'want' refer to? Who knows. Is this a bad bot, someone spun out on meth, someone with cognitive processing issues, a busy mom texting while distracted, or ?

Nothing. Plenty of companies use proprietary formats. You can choose to use the company's product or not. On the web3 ecosystem there is code available, at least for bigger and legit projects

> It could be fair use, but I would not risk it.

I've always wanted to know the answer to this. There are tons of themes and templates for websites that very obviously ignore the branding guidelines. I wonder if the guidelines are even enforceable.

If those guidelines are enforceable, isn't it risky for brands to ignore all the misuse? I'm assuming that falls under trademarks for enforcement, so, IMHO (not a lawyer), they're all risking their logomarks by having such onerous branding guidelines that no one wants to follow them and then also failing to police the resulting misuse.

I asked about this in some webdev communities a while back and the general consensus was that trying to follow the branding guidelines and asking for permission was a mistake. The feedback I got was that all you'd be doing is putting a target on your back.
OKRs have become, like peer reviews, just one of those "corporate" things that you have to do, but that nobody really cares.

My performance/bonus/promotions were never affected positive/negative, in any way by my OKR.

Frequent re-org and change of direction very often invalidate any OKR one might even have tried to achieve.

I wish companies realize that OKR, like working from the office, are things of the past that no longer fit in the world we live in, where things move at an incredible fast pace.

To counter these answers a little...

I saw the dot com bubble burst, and then made it through a round of layoffs in early 2k, and again near 2008.

I saw people lose their homes, go bankrupt, and end up in bad positions. It really scarred me, to the extend where I won't work at a company that doesn't actually make something of value, or doesn't have an existing line of profit. I don't consider stock options when taking a position, since it's very rare they actually end up being worth anything significant, even with a buyout. I live well within my means so I can take a salary that's 1/2 and be ok, if needed.

But, as the counter, you could easily, and rightly, claim that this has caused me to not make a significant amount of money by taking these less risky positions. Those risky positions pay more because they are risky, and everyone knows it.

But the part the parent commenter quoted is incorrect and the article would be better for having that fixed. The explanation that follows is misleading as well (it's not a "bit of a lie") and would also benefit from not introducing hardware sub-pixels into the discussion (which are irrelevant).
I so the same. Except I'm still spending too much time dicking off in front of the computer. I guess partly due to embarrassment about not working "full time".

Your comment inspired me to get out and do something instead. Thanks for that.

On a technical side: I came to the conclusion that displaying tabs horizontally is, well, stupid. Displaying them vertically is better. Tree Style Tabs for Firefox allows this. It also has hierarchies and folding. Hierarchies allows me to group related tabs. Folding allows me to "reduce the noise" by collapsing groups.

On a personal side: I've learned to let go.

The "fair" and probably also reasonable imo thing to do is just pick randomly if you have a bunch of equally good people and can't interview them all.

Or make them do leetcode stuff, I think this situation is basically what that whole part of the process is for.
Intermission at the Ministry of Truth
Accessing government services should never result in your personal data being delivered into the hands of private for profit companies.

If they want us to hand over our facial recognition data (something that has never been needed before and isn't actually needed now) the government should create their own service where any data collected is never used for anything else.

I think it's just pure laziness and a total lack of concern for the public that government websites are full of Google trackers, but when I see a company like ID.me being used I assume somebody is getting a nice kickback somewhere for handing over the American public's data to a private company to exploit and enrich themselves with and all at the tax payers expense.
What does pandemic preparedness mean in this context? Most countries that fared badly due to COVID did so because of policy decisions, not lack of materials. We could invest in faster vaccine development, but again the uptake of vaccines in the US was hampered by communication and policy decisions.

> You can choose to make them less noisy by restricting to significant SNPs, for example.

That makes them more noisy, not less. PGS predictive power for EDU/IQ is always maximized at use of all SNPs. Restricting to the arbitrary subset of genome-wide statistically-significant SNPs in Lee would drive it from the 7% or so they have to <1%, IIRC.

Also, neither of your two problems are the problem here, as the biases there would not be expected to drive a correlation between video game playing & IQ (what sort of within-ethnic interaction would you need for that and why is it plausible?), and would mostly serve to simply not control for intelligence (and quantitatively, because the PGS here is a small fraction of the variance, even gross biases which somehow did manage to drive correlations between those two variables, would still be unable to meaningfully affect the estimates).
People are mixing up things here

It's not illegal to pay an US company with an US invoice in the EU. (HN likes to invent problems where there aren't, and companies do that all the time). It is not even limited to the US, most other countries can't/won't follow the format.

However there might be extra steps in adding those invoices to their accounting. For example, when import, the buyer will be charged the import tax (instead of having it added to the invoice)

The informal economy of Portugal has nothing to do with the above btw since that has nothing to do with American invoices (and you can bet German rules are not much simpler) - not saying the bureaucracy isn't, most of the time, stupid. The US also has it fair share of stupid crap that people have to deal as well but it is "transparent" to most Americans.
I've written 4 technical books including the Classic Computer Science Problems Series (https://classicproblems.com). I agree with what Thorsten said at the end—none of this really matters—or it's marginal at most. Most people who say they want to write a book lack the motivation to do it. It's not the tools getting in the way.

Apress used Word templates back in 2013 when I did my first book with them. Manning let you use asciidoc or Word templates when I worked with them. I wrote my first book with them in markdown and translated to asciidoc using pandoc. There were so many formatting issues and I found the tools for asciidoc so immature that I ultimately went to using their Word templates on my next two books with them despite preferring purely text formats.

Now I'm working on my next book and I think I'm going to try self publishing. I'm liking leanpub's use of a markdown like format. But again none of this really matters. You can fix formatting later. You have to sit down and write!

PS Thorsten's "Writing an Interpreter in Go" is great:

I often see people on blind asking for and offering referrals to people who are basically strangers. It makes sense to turn that into a product, so kudos.

That being said, it's always made me feel weird in a way I struggle to articulate. It seems cool to offer an opportunity to someone who needs it, and referral bonuses are nice for workers.

But it does seem to go against the spirit of referral bonuses.

I suppose if companies were really upset by people hacking their referral system they could simply fix their online application process so that it doesn't go nowhere.

Looked at a different way, the companies are essentially paying bonuses to their engineers to do resume screening. It seems like if that's what they really wanted they could ask people to do it as part of their job though.

> anyone seems to care that the most important technical head of the company is leaving

To me the message didn't sound like a manifest but more like an info (to make the change smooth)?

Therefore I guess that people that know QT just don't care about speculating about that (why now/before/later, who cares) - of course this info will be remembered if in the future problems arise.
>I don't believe that there is a lot of confidence in Europe now.

More than the USA. Let that sink in.

> In fact shortly after the war I have been advised to sell all European stocks because European company will be impacted by an energy shortage. At the same time I was advised against purchasing USA stocks since they were over evaluated but now instead the Down Jones ( but not the Nasdaq ) has changed evaluation to interesting. And yes Canada is interesting as well.

Certainly a common and obvious assessment, so don't get me wrong, but this is shallow investing advice in my opinion.

Europe might be having blackouts of nowhere near enough power and shedding load isn't even effective at getting people online. Your utility company is going to shifts where you only get so much power between these hours. At least people do have power sometimes.

If you're say Michelin and you're having the worst energy problems and maybe aren't prioritized or anything. You put to your team to get us up and running. Buying from stores might be an option, but you may have to go to literal raw resources. Process silicon, make your own really low yield solar panels. Thousands of employees working on this and they can solve the problem of no power.

Just because you're doing X right now doesn't mean you can't do Y tommorrow. If your business can shift this well and become a solar panel producer from scratch could make you very wealthy.

Europe's energy problems aren't unsolvable. It's actually just a matter of time someone mass produces enough solar panels in a size enough to power the continent with batteries. In fact, that's the point of business. Your mission is say 'deliver tires' and you solve the problems in front of you. If energy scarcity is the problem, there's multiple ways to solve this problem.

Whereas the overpriced US market? That's not fixable by work or money.

For optic flow, you also would have to know the height above the road. That varies with vehicle load, tire pressure, speed bumps, etc.

5MB/s even for sequential transfers sounds too severe for thermal throttling, unless a temperature sensor failed in just the right way to convince the drive to activate its last-ditch throttling mechanism before simply shutting down.

More likely, you were experiencing repeated ECC failures and read retries on every access. Since you ruled out a bad cable by also running it in a dock, I'm guessing you had a premature failure of a large chunk of flash, possibly an entire die (though a lot of drives especially at lower capacities don't have enough over-provisioning to do erasure coding to protect against a full die failure).
Yeah I use KOReader on my Kindle Paperwhite 5 and it’s definitely superior in every way.
There was an article on HN a while ago saying that basically the secret to productivity is ... slack. In other words, excess capacity.

I used to have a tight schedule switching from tasks to learning to meetings to more tasks and more learning, 50 minutes work, 10 minutes break, relentlessly, like a robot.

Then I realized I'm not a fucking robot. Now I work 2 hours per day at most. Complete my tasks and can do this shit in a sustainable way as opposed to burning myself for what?

I'm super engaged. For two hours tops :D

> Startups and public companies both seem to pay better base salary for modern tech developers and also give you equity or profit sharing.

I've worked for a couple public companies, none of which gave any stock or any profit sharing to the engineering staff. I've also worked for private companies that had some profit sharing but it was never discussed other than "there is profit sharing" even when it was a substantial percentage (one place I consistently got 6-8% of my salary as profit sharing).

More popular lately seems to be the pseudo-bonus-pseudo-profit-share thing where you have a set percentage of your salary as "bonus" but it requires the company overall hitting specific revenue and profit numbers, so it's essentially profit sharing with a cap.

I think my point is comp structures are all over the place, but "large public company giving base, bonus, and stock" is a small minority, while "private company giving base, and maybe a bonus sometimes" is the most common.

Have you had your blood lead levels checked? Are they elevated?
OK, but there's still the same question. What is the "healthy" ppb level of lead in air, and what is the concentration from avgas?

Also, here's a plane flying at 4000 AGL. How much of the lead it puts out is going to affect the lead level at ground level? (I mean, it can raise the ppb of the entire atmosphere, which eventually affects everyone, but that's a huge mass to affect.)

It might matter for those living downwind and close to heavily-used private plane fields, though.
They can disclose their interests without the repetitive intro. But for the above comment, just asking a question, even this is unnecessary.

How to use Eddie and Eedie to make free third party long distance phone calls (it's OK, Bellcore had as much free long distance phone service as they wanted to give away for free):

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22308781

>My mom refused to get touch-tone service, in the hopes of preventing me from becoming a phone phreak. But I had my touch-tone-enabled friends touch-tone me MCI codes and phone numbers I wanted to call over the phone, and recorded them on a cassette tape recorder, which I could then play back, with the cassette player's mic and speaker cable wired directly into the phone speaker and mic.

>Finally there was one long distance service that used speech recognition to dial numbers! It would repeat groups of 3 or 4 digits you spoke, and ask you to verify they were correct with yes or no. If you said no, it would speak each digit back and ask you to verify it: Was the first number 7? ...

>The most satisfying way I ever made a free phone call was at the expense of Bell Communications Research (who were up to their ears swimming in as much free phone service as they possibly could give away, so it didn't hurt anyone -- and it was actually with their explicitly spoken consent), and was due to in-band signaling of billing authorization:

When you called (201) 644-2332, it would answer, say "Hello," pause long enough to let the operator ask "Will you accept a collect call from Richard Nixon?", then it would say "Yes operator, I will accept the charges." And that worked just fine for third party calls too!

I wouldn't quite go so far, but I don't think piecewise enterprise SaaS makes sense. The whole model of having dozens of interacting SaaS pieces, any of which make change APIs, have a bug, or go under any day has peaked.

I'm okay relying on AWS.

I'm not okay having one company handle email, another columnar database, another tabular database, another map-reduce, another streaming / logging, and so on. I understand why each of those might be better than their AWS counterpart, but for business continuity or for security, it's a train wreck.

I'm usually okay relying on hosted versions of open source platforms, since if something goes very bad, I can move over to hosting them myself. Even there, I hesitate with things really central to continuing operations. But for the 95% of other stuff, I find something like hosted postgresql or redis to be most robust.

A company specializing in redis will beat my IT staff. On the other hand, it's low-risk. A lot of companies disappear in a few weeks, but it's rare that they disappear overnight.
Using mixed precision training you can do most operations in fp16 and just a few in fp32 where it's needed. This is the norm for NVIDIA GPU training nowadays. For instance using fastai add `.to_fp16()` after your learner call, and that happens automatically.
