When 70-80% of what's sold on amazon.de comes from other vendors and you can't filter those results out, what you're saying doesn't help at all.

Yes, theoretically you're right, but in practice it's useless advice.
The flip side is that a DS&A toy problem grind is an actionable item that approximately anyone who can already bear the cost of their own training can work on, with legible indicators of their progress.

I know it's popular to throw shade on interviewing for "wasting" candidates' time on this instead of "learning to build actual things", but even if DS&A toy problems aren't the best-correlated with actual work performance, the fact is that (a) they're well-enough correlated, by the standards of scalable interview assessments (b) contrary to popular belief around these parts, presenting "actual things" is much easier to bullshit your way through than a few hours of talking through toy problems (c) every job opening gets a deluge of bullshitters.

> People have constitutional rights, objects do not

I'm pretty sure that's been modified to US people on US soil, at least 100 miles from a border, have constitutional rights, but those rights were all intended to mean something different than what they actually say.
In a sense that's a valid point, but what we have seems inferior in this regard. My machine is running a huge amount of individual, uncoordinated runtimes. Often there's layers and layers of uncoordinated bloat, communication overhead and everyone does his own garbage collection, scheduling format translation, gui rendering and so on. It's incredibly wasteful and the only thing that patches over it is that my computer is fast enough to handle all this crap.

/rant

I get that all of this has reasons, often historical. PC/Internet adoption just grew so fast during 80's and 90's that nobody even had the time to think it all through and design a coherent system. Even new OS's and runtimes have to carry over all this legacy stuff. I mean I get it and as a web developer I'm probably more part of the problem than the solution. But boy would computing be simpler, more powerful and expressive if we could just start over and lean on the ideas of (mostly) early, holistic visions and prototypes of personal computing.

Yep very true - IT was at the root of the issue, but since the software is so bad, there are multiple different login/approval flows. They had some bastardized version of SSO trying to tie it all together but she worked for an outside firm with a non-hospital email address so the SSO didn't work.

It's for this reason I've been moving a great deal of my stuff over to a private ZeroTier network (Tailscale is also getting good reviews and on my list to look at). The stuff I trust is part of the ZT network and can access things on it from anywhere; I then don't have to expose stuff to the Internet at all.

I still have to do some figuring about how to expose services I want to expose; I may create a second ZT network as a "DMZ" and then use an intermediary host as a choke point to filter and screen traffic.

I haven't used the latter, but the former is easy to use and based on libgit. Create a new repository, select the packages that go into it, make the initial commit. After that it'll tell you when the changes don't match the repo. You can select down to the method level since it's aware of the language's syntax and semantics. The generated repository looks like the Iceberg repo itself, a collection of directories for the packages and then .st files for the classes and their contents.

You have a different target employer than I do, and that's fine. I optimize for a different set of requirements.
I don't think it's common now, but it used to be a really common type of job.

Basically all those secretarial-type jobs—which used to be quite a bit of the workforce—went away, replaced by making experts use computers themselves, to enter data into usually-shitty-and-time-wasting systems. It's my understanding that a lot of the folks who are old enough to have done both despise the new system.
Why not just quit and do something else that interests you. A different industry, or your own project or startup. Sounds like you’ll easily be able to get re-employed if things don’t work out. Or even
do consulting for your current employer. Most 1x developers probably don’t feel confident enough in re-employment prospects to throw away their current gig where they’ve built up some credibility.

Also, I’m curious what you did before, if you didn’t start until 33? I figured most 10x devs were people who mastered computer systems as children.

The venerable PC Engines APU2 is a fanless x86 AMD 10W TDP router with 4GB ECC RAM, TPM 2.0 and GPIO pins, open schematics and coreboot, which can run pfSense, OPNsense, OpenBSD, Linux, FreeBSD and OpenWRT, with virtualization support. Constrained by supply chain at present. mPCIe slots for WiFi, LTE & mSATA.

Ubiquiti ERLite-3 can run Linux and OpenBSD (octeon/MIPS).

A few years back during a work lunch I spoke about installing Red Hat 9 from CD on my 350Mhz Pentium II with 64 MB of RAM. A 20-year-old sysadmin interrupted me to say how that wasn't possible as "they're only on Red Hat 7 right now". Explaining how Fedora and RHEL came to be from the original Red Hat made me feel old :-P. Now we've come full circle.

EDIT: At the risk of sounding like "that guy" I'd like to clarify that I don't fault my former colleague for what he said; for nearly 20 years "Red Hat" has been colloquially synonymous with RHEL (vice CentOS and Fedora) and I merely thought this was an amusing anecdote.

De-fi doesn't _technically_ need it but it's highly preferable.

Let's say you want to actively trade ETH against the USD. If you think ETH will go down the you want to sell it. Now if it's in a non-custodial wallet that you control, you would need to send it to an exchange, sell it, then hold USD on the exchange (were you have no control of it and they can seize it for fraud investigations, etc. - basically your money is held by a 3rd party).

Instead you can "sell" your ETH by trading it for a stablecoin pegged to the dollar. This way the only risk is the contract for the trade (which can be publically audited) and your money stays in your control.

Or if you wanted to accept cryptocurrency as payment but still only wanted the USD because of it's stability - you could accept that (this isn't very common as gas fees are rather high).

tl;dr - With exchanges a 3rd party has your money and a IOU. Coinbase has already said user crypto could be at risk in the case of bankrupcy. De-Fi removes this risk while still allowing you to trade against the USD.

disclaimer - Whether you want to do this might be a different question, just giving the reason for wanting a stablecoin.

edit: For those saying taxes - the US IRS still counts this as a sale and it's still taxed the same as an exchange trade - other countries might differ. Given the KYC/AML requirements and lack of general public knowledge about anonymity of crypto - I think sooner then later we'll see a crackdown.
Well, like zsh, and many other improvements on the shell, and gawk and other tooling that doesn't match other awk engines and so forth... you end up having two parallel realities. One for scripting, where you use the bare minimus that is acceptable to run on any server and it's guaranteed to be there, and then your user env where you have all your fun tools.

The cool part is network transparency and forwarding environments and other things that plan9 plays with so that you can work locally, remotely.
I wonder if that itself is certain type of filter. For people who are ready to spend lot of unpaid hours for job. Might this also expand to their work?
Counterpoint, deciding not to put up with old things that are a pain in the ass is part of unseating the existing momentum so we can finally move on to better things.

However, something to note is that while money is important, it's not the most important thing in life. Or it shouldn't be, anyway.
As an engineer who learned programming prior to the proliferation of coding tests, my struggle has been with my own ego. "How dare they use some simple test to judge me and ignore my body of work." This has gotten me a few times. Especially when I wasn't expecting a coding test. Adjusting my attitude and getting more okay with the idea that some companies will want to screen with this sort of thing, has helped. I also felt more empowered by recognizing that I can always decline an unreasonabpe test and that doesn't always mean I will be excluded from consideration. Like most things in life, it's easier if you practice. Focus on good communication skills, and sell yourself the best way you can.
Yes, I am one of the co-founders of bamboolib and employed by Databricks.

One thing to remember is that these fun utils won't exist on production servers. You also don't want them there for obvious reasons. I find it better to use the most commonly available set of unix tools and I end up being far more effective due to that.
Ask HN: What is that appeals you about IT Product Managerial jobs?
A college senior of mine told me this -
"As a Product Manager in XYZ IT firm, I spend most of my time touching base with the IT team, the Design team, the Logistics & Licensing team, etc. My colleagues in IT often tell me they love the feeling of having something they created being used by millions. I have nothing tangible that I create using my skills."

If I'm reading the response chain right, you're actually not saying it's untrue, just that criticizing veg oils is something that people will call you a conspiracy theorist for suggesting?

Cause if so, I'm kinda with you. I definitely think veg oils are awful for health, and have basically been called crazy for saying so.

Not much conspiracy there though excepting maybe the main thematic one which is that unhealthful stuff is foisted on the populace to keep them dumb and compliant.

I've done SDE interviews with random companies (and administered them), although normally they are called SWE in the bay area.

Many of the questions in leetcode have a skill rating. The easy ones- I expect most programmers to be able to figure out in 30 minutes and type out an answer. The hard ones- those are for people (as you say) doing programming competitions, or who are doing CS research and have a lot of prior knowledge and skill, or for extreme coders operating at the 10X level.

I think many people have moved to macports. In my experience, the Googlers mostly do dev in the cloud and don't depend on having custom software installed on their machines. Also I think the other big problem was that half of homebrew is broken any time you try to install something complicated.
This is a great point - too many companies forget to optimize for speed of UX. My theory is because speed of UX isn't a strong selling point to decision makers. JIRA sells well because it's a safe choice (recent fuckups not-withstanding) and is very full featured. Speed of UX matters for the end user, unfortunately too often the end user has no say in the software they're using.

If all popular apps gets sane treatment, that's a lot better than no apps getting sane treatment.

And "this impacts a lot of people so be careful" is the mildest and least problematic kind of "special treatment".

I'm with you. I find that I feel like I know Linux like the back of my hands because I can fluidly interface with stock tools with a breeze. These new tools are great but I just don't see them widely spread across many remote systems that I manage. Just managing those packages across a fleet sounds like a pain in the ass.
I've always felt the "could be harmful" was a rationalization by radiologists worried about their job security since it's easily mitigated with a warning and multiple tests.

Not if you make sure all of the bribes are legal, or else lobbying wouldn't be an entire industry.

edit: In Illinois, at least, for it to be bribery there needs to be proof of an explicit quid quo pro e.g. a recording of you saying "If you give me X, I will do Y."

Note that "I'm going to give you X," "What a coincidence, I'm going to do Y" does not count.

> a PM just needs to deploy the usual impossible UX trifecta: make it fast, make it easy, integrate all the different systems from other vendors.

The problem here is we're talking government software, or IT-as-a-cost-center software. So the buyer is looking at the cheapest bidder. They aren't getting a team like those who solved the UX trifecta in the past (looking at the iPhone team at Apple here).

> Paper is fast. You can't make logins take 1 minute, they need to happen in milliseconds. You can't discard peoples progress when they move to a different workstation.

Paper isn't fast, it's cached. Parsing, archiving and indexing of paper is extremely slow (when actually done). The slowness of input in a computer system might annoy the user but the system overall is way more efficient. Now auth taking more than a second or two is just lazy programming (bet it's not exactly Google caliber engineers working on the project).
