To add to the list: Svelte is also faster and lighter for most cases. And with SvelteKit the server sends only the bare minimum JS to make the page dynamic while being SEO friendly depending on the adapter of choice.

It can even output static, precompiled, pages with the adapter-static so no heavy backend processing involved and response times are best-in-class: https://github.com/sveltejs/kit/tree/master/packages/adapter...
There've been a lot of additional great questions proposed in these comments! The one I like to ask the most has 2-parts:

1. "Why is this position open?"

and if the answer is anything other than "we're doubling the size of our company", I like to follow up with:

2. "Tell me about the last person who had this role."

The way #2 gets answered can usually tell me a lot about the culture.
The perspective at Google was that people would interview for Google as a whole. You weren't interviewing for any particular job, any specific group, or any specific technology; you were interviewing to become a Googler. From there you would be assigned to whatever available job seemed most suitable.

It was not an expectation that you would transfer between such dissimilar areas, but that you could - that a successful hire could be given any problem, in any part of the company, and find a way to get useful work done there. Thus there was no point wasting interview time on questions about specific tools or frameworks: what's relevant is your ability to solve engineering problems.

I did in fact know someone at Google who went from some kind of big-data map-reduce oriented thing to an embedded device project. (Long time ago, details are hazy.) It wasn't "management roulette", he just wanted to work on something different, so he did.

I myself had been doing bare-metal embedded systems firmware before I went to work at Google, but the project I got assigned to work on was Millwheel, a large-scale streaming data processor framework. shrug
Different strokes I guess. I've hired a lot of people and would love it if somebody asked me these questions. Would make me excited to work with them.

Depends if your package uses any specific Deno/Node APIs. Deno also only supports ESM (which you should be using anyway).

There is, however, a Node compatibility layer for Deno: https://deno.land/manual@v1.14.1/npm_nodejs/std_node

There is a huge difference between the sort of PR crap that companies post on websites and actually sitting down with a human being and have them explain it to you. "What problem is your company solving?" is pretty general, to be fair, but it would be a red flag for a startup that is selling a product but cannot articulate what problem customers have that the product is solving. It is in fact a pretty central differentiator between startups that succeed and startups that fail.

They are all good questions, but you would probably want to say more along the lines of "I understand that X is your companies product. Can you go into some more detail about what specific problems this product is solving for your customers?"
I think the distinction here is between trade and hobby.
Ask HN: How Is the Job Market?
I feel like 3 months ago it was very much an employee's market but after the crypto meltdown suddenly we are back to employer's market it appears.

An important part of movies is pacing. Many fans (not all and not the majority, but a lot) are so snobbish, they can't see the fact that Blade Runner has really bad pacing.

Blade runner is great, I like the movie, but it lacks pacing and many members of the general audience place a high bar on pacing.

From my perspective, while I like the movie, I can still understand why someone like you wouldn't like it. And it makes sense. What you say is true, the ending offers no resolution and the pacing through the whole movie was just really bad.

But the good parts of blade runner that people talk about. Those things are also true.
Presumably these platforms have also lived on though. I think I remember reading about a Fujitsu contract to maintain a big U.K. government ICL derived system?
It depends if you are hiring for HP or some startup that is still in stealth mode.
If you think these are questions a low performer would ask to see what they can get away with, just ask them if that's the case.
Off-topic maybe, but I'm very curious as it's hard to find hard numbers:

> my usual bill is $200/month

How many req/second are you serving? What kind of things are happening?

It seems like the bills are outrageously expensive when it comes to various cloud services, as I'm personally hosting a service that does between 10-100 req/second on average during a month, and my monthly bill end up being closer to $40/month, including traffic and everything. I'm running a database on the same server, and 20% of the requests writes stuff both to disk and to the database, while the rest just reads from DB or disk.

The whole setup took around 5 hours to setup on one day, and have been running flawlessly from day one, we haven't had to migrate servers yet after ~6 months of production usage. Probably one day we're gonna have to upgrade the server to a $80/month one, but that's a one-time thing and our revenue easily covers that.
I'd echo the "don't use your own device" advice.

Assuming you're working for quite a small company: refuse to use your own machine. Make it clear that using it is not something you are comfortable with. Use the crappier machine but complain loudly every time you're suffering an issue with it. "Oh this runs out of memory when I try to do this", "this takes too long to load"... Etc. in your chats as it happens. Don't wait until a convenient meeting to talk about it either, post screenshots etc. In your chat if you can, get your team lead on a face to face chat or call to "help" you it. If you can get more senior eyes to see that it's a real problem for you then they're likely to push to get it fixed as well. Ultimately your success is their success, so use that. Nobody in their right mind will blame you if it really is a problem with your equipment.
It shouldn't be heresy. I think that I could show you what I enjoy about Shakespeare, but there's no reason you have to, any more than any other kind of genre.

I really hate the way we teach Shakespeare. You shouldn't be parsing it at all. That's incredibly hard, and not the point. You should be watching the plays, preferably in a good film version with highly skilled actors. You'll be able to follow the story better for being able to see it and to pick up what they mean from context.

You'll get a chance to hear why people think it's good writing: it just sounds good, the way a song just sounds good. Only then are you in a position to look at the words on a page, and begin to study what makes them sound so good. And yeah, you should be applying the exact same skills to some modern pop songs (including rap songs, which can have some of the same level of creative exuberance).

The stories are really the last of it. I despise the way the entire thing is treated as an exercise in decryption of what are over-long, confusing, and frankly mediocre stories. The language is great, but it's more important that you use that to see how language works. If it also turns out that you enjoy this particular story-teller, fantastic -- but it's asinine that they treat it as if you must enjoy it just because they do.

Chaucer would be worth studying what it shows about language evolution, another advanced skill. It has the advantage that you can do so in reading a very funny and bawdy story, which is at least enjoyable, but not if they're going to shy away from the fucking. There is absolutely no reason to read it if you can't use the word "fucking" in class.

So speaking as a Shakesperean who has done every single Shakespeare play, you have not committed heresy. Heresy was done to you by screwing up these plays. I am so sorry and angry that they did that, because it could have been so worthwhile.

This sort of research is incredibly dangerous, as it could lead to the (clearly false) belief that measured differences in cognitive ability between different human sub-groups is also based in genetic differences. Also, if apes were created with human level intelligence then the lines of "human rights" might be tied inextricably to quantified intelligence. We must outlaw such research and brand it as "racist" immediately (on a cultural level) to prevent going down a scientifically justified social darwinian path toward distopia /s
Disney famously courted Chinese audiences for everything. One big example was them removing Finn from the movie posters, simply for being black. That wouldn't fly over there. Then they turned around and cried about diversity and inclusion and they tried their insane 'latinX' garbage.

Netlfix wokeness is legendary, their mandates are insane.

It was all pandering from the beginning.

I watched the BET awards the other night and was absolutely disgusted. Not one black owned business got air time for commercials- was all P&G, google, amazon commercials. All going on about what they do for the black community.

Like the pride month commercials, I'm just so sick of the bullshit pandering, but I'm also tired of people believing it.

We used to call companies out for this shit. Everything is metrics and visuals, all they care about is money. The rest is bullshit to help them make more of it.

Edit to add re:netflix- they recently dropped a lot of' woke' content. Anti-racist baby, the cartoon by Megan Markel, etc- heads and shows have been rolling. Someone coined the term 'pivot to profit'. Ricky Gervais' new special Supernature, meanwhile, was like their most watched special this year,and they backed Dave Chappelle.

I think now that they have to batton down the hatches the pandering wokeness was the first thing overboard.

Also friendly reminder Netflix greenlit 'Cuties'.
I guess there may be SQL frameworks or ORMs that make that hard. I worked on something that allowed parameterisation of any user supplied value, no matter how complex the query. It wasn't that hard, but we could make it do whatever we wanted.

Google "March for Life." Its massive (rivaling the "Women's March" a few years back), has happened every year for nearly 50 years at DC, and always has a media blackout talking about it. And everyone there believes without a doubt it is murder. Also the Gen Z presence is massive at these marches, much more so than the "Women's March" which is interesting.

Orthogonal example -- car protections are enacted to keep occupants safe in vehicles. Federal use of facial recognition on citizens (and others) without public review and without those protections puts a lot of power in the government's hands at the expense of our privacy.

Government regulations for citizens and their own protection is different that government technology use to monitor/track people. And in a country that likes to increase the use of registries, constantly wants to outlaw encryption, etc., I think there's plenty of reason to be skeptical that regulations that limit government use of these technologies isn't likely to come from Congress.

Also, my point wasn't so much about the technologies, but about the utility of the kind of privacy OP was trying to manage.

Of course the COBOL community is on Usenet. It's so obvious in retrospect.
As stated elsewhere, learning COBOL really isn't that hard. It's a different paradigm than you are likely used to but once that clicks you can be relatively proficient in basic COBOL in a few weeks.

After getting some confidence you will be ready to begin your first COBOL job where you will open up the codebase to try and get familiar and immediately realize with shock and horror what you have committed to do. The hell and chaos of real world legacy COBOL all consuming.

You then sit there, day after day, counting characters and cursing your predecessor for not having that foresight to realize that a number might grow beyond 999. Daydreaming of a time when you didn't know so much about fixed length records, a time when you were happy.
>geology science explaining why it's impossible.

Mordor is...it just doesn't work. It's a hard scrabble plain with a large inland sea bounded on 3 sides by jagged, abrupt mountains that are entirely isolated from any other ranges, and form right angles with each other...oh and the surround a cone volcano that just emerges from the ground.

Any one of these things (minus the, I repeat, NEAR PERFECT RIGHT ANGLES formed by the mountain range around Mordor) can be explained, but the conditions that lead to one preclude the other.

Facebook already has a subscription system. They sell hundreds of millions of ad slots per day to willing buyers so they can put messages in front of your eyes. Advertisers subscribe to the FB publishing space based on all your data points gathered on FB and nearly every other place on the Internet...data they gather for free. You willingly go on the site with zero impediments; other site owners willingly put the FB pixel on their sites which track your movements there.

It is as if FB owns a large piece of land which stray cattle randomly enter, FB gladly allows them to graze, then slaughters them and sells the meat piecemeal to the highest bidder. Why would FB want to put up a fence to keep out unwilling livestock?

Excuse the dystopian metaphor, but I think it illustrates how FB actually operates. They put an enormous amount of money and manpower into developing the infrastructure that keeps users on its platform and in its web of tracking pixels, but they don't make any money from keeping the experience a high-quality one. Their main interest is gathering an enormous, aggregated dataset they can sell subscription access to.

They would have to charge an exorbitant account subscription fee to surpass the amount they make from selling access to users' data.

Pack is great, but one feature I always wish for is to pack into the middle of an existing string. So instead I have to pack into a new string and then copy it into the destination. Python has struct.pack_into for this case. I know the performance difference would be small, and if I really care so much about efficiency I shouldn't write it in a scripting language anyway. It's just one of those things that bugs me.
> When people talk about "alt right pipeline", this is it, but casper isn't the perpetrator. He's the target.

Some of us were on imageboards when pools were being closed. I am sure there's a number of people that don't understand that 'glowies' isn't meant to be serious, but a reference to someone who also used to post on hackernews. But I can assure you, at least pre us politics, most got that it was just dark humor.

Just like I will not accept that pepe the frog is some hate symbol, I will not accept that image boards are an alt right pipeline. If there is such a thing, they're mostly quarantined to a politics board. Who cares? Dont look at it if it bothers you.
That would presume the cursory research turns up clear answers. Or that the answers the interviewers give will match the answers online.

I have seen both presumptions invalidated enough not to think poorly of anyone asking and if the interviewer decides I’m wasting their time if I ask questions like this then it was never going to be a good fit.

Why would you think that? Clearly almost everyone that is against abortion believes that, that's the whole point.

Even most people who are in favour of abortion would consider it at least close to murder if say an abusive husband beats his pregnant wife, killing the baby.

The only difference there is that the mother wanted the child to live, how can that have bearing on whether it's murder or not?
