Let me continue this train of thought even further. Your last sentence nails it. Even a firing for "performance" is not necessarily an indicator that the candidate before you would be a low performer at your company.

Sometimes, people are fired for "performance," when what that really means is "new manager/tech lead didn't like them." Interview enough people and you'll see this at some point. Sometimes, low performers in one environment are star performers in another. This is what happens when founders are replaced by more experienced executives, among other scenarios. Sometimes, people with impressive credentials (PhD + significant publications + previous experience, for instance) will completely bomb your interview because they can't figure out which of their language of choice's container types is suitable to the task. I literally interviewed that candidate once. Sometimes, people are fired for straight up illegal reasons that have nothing to do with performance. (This literally happened to me at a big company you've probably all heard of and used their product.)

As a company and an interviewer, the best thing for all involved is for you to have a structured process with which to evaluate all candidates for a given position, and follow it. No interview process is perfect at either selecting good candidates or rejecting bad ones, but if you have and follow a structured process, at least you should get consistent results out of your interview process, and you can calibrate your hiring bar from there. I don't want to go into much more detail regarding "structured processes," but if you search on HN for u/tokenadult's hiring comment cum copypasta (albeit an informative copypasta), most of what's there still holds true according to the best and most current research on hiring.

Brought about by a very bloody decade-long struggle for democracy led by student activists. That transition to democracy in Korea was written and paid for in blood. Successful? Yes. With high costs? Also yes. And they’re still dealing with the fallout.
What about this is specific to public as opposed to private schools?
Call me cynical but I've noticed an uptick in phony police capability stories like these that I expect make parallel construction easier.
> So what's the point in getting a Navy pilot to watch him "flying" them?

They don't comment on his flying but on other aspects, like the training scenes, mission tactics, and also on the flying (by professionals) that is depicted.

> Erm, why? Movies are movies.

You might feel that way, but even then you'll have to admit that a lot of people don't make that distinction to that extent (especially kids) - so they'll end up imagining they have an idea what it would be like to be in certain situations.

> Far more interesting and, well, real.

How would I know what's realistic and what's not (in areas so far outside of what I do) if I didn't rely on people with this knowledge?
When you look at the work conditions that lead to the rise of the big unions, it's laughable to think that a job that involves sitting at a desk in an air-conditioned office for 40 hours a week is in any way comparable. Most tech employees realize that they've got a pretty good thing going, they earn well above average incomes, typically have top-notch benefits, can find new employment easily if needed, and are not going to perceive a union bringing anything desireable to the table.
I think they realized that 1) It's difficult to compete with Epic for high-end game development, and 2) Middle-Low end game development is probably not to grow much, because the maximum number of successful game dev teams is most likely a fixed X, or a slowly growing X, so eventually they decided to cut anything that is not core and try to grow other fields. Stock market needs fast growing things.

> do you feel like your everyday experience is a police state?

As an European, I do feel scared in the US. Sickos carry a gun, and that includes the cops. They perceive you to be doing something bad, you may resist out of reflex because you know you are innocent, and it can end up pretty badly for you. No thanks. I would rather stay here where we had perhaps 40 murders per year, and have not seen a cop use a gun ever, not even on me while I was resisting arrest. I would probably be dead if this were to happen in the US.

You know what is sad? When family members call the cops on their family members because they are mentally sick, probably having a psychosis. Cops do not know how to handle it. It usually ends up with the mentally ill person's death. Why is the US so eager to use the gun then ask later? How is it possible that here in Europe cops can handle mentally sick people without killing them?

At any rate, I will never set foot in the US.

(It is just my own opinion. My own fears, be it rational or irrational.)
I'd suggest helping him to see the 'whole' job. What do I mean by that? The best development (and developers) understand that they're not just writing code, but that code is the tool that they use to solve the real problem of the business.

That would mean spending a few minutes helping him to understand why you're writing the code you're writing and how it will impact the product or business.

Then, I'd walk him through your typical development process. Show him your ticketing system, how you identify user stories (if you're using agile) or features, how you groom those stories (e.g. things that make a story useful or not, the dialogues that you have with people to understand what you need to build), and the life cycle of a ticket.

Finally, (perhaps after a break), you could walk him through your development loop - Look at a ticket or feature, start exploring the code to see what you need to change, make an edit, run tests, commit your code, etc.

IMO, the important take away for him would be to see that development most often isn't a developer sitting at a desk typing at a computer all day. My experience has been that software development is an interactive experience with myself and other developers, myself and other teams, etc.

Not sure what kind of dev you do, but if you were so lucky to be working on front end, showing him how a change you make creates visible change on the screen that he sees as a user would be pretty powerful. Particularly if the thing you're working on is something that he could see after he leaves or that his friends might know about.
Near UV isn't, but the photons still carry considerable energy to push chemical reactions over the edge. Whereas microwaves are far, far below the visible spectrum, and none of that causes cancer.

A microwave injury is serious stuff, but it seems like a huge stretch to attribute a later cancer to that exact incident.
It would be useful to be able to (easily) smell a refrigerant leak, too.
"So" it is not the story that people keep repeating. Tesla do not remove AP from resold cars.

Hey, live and let live, but this kind of scummy "apologising" is far worse than the cold mailing itself and absolutely despicably so misleading and manipulative.
Relevantly in the case of microwave oven transformers, your impedance depends on the voltage because a high enough voltage can and will arc right through your skin into your soft, low-impedance innards. You can do this safely with a commonplace Tesla-coil-driven consumer plasma globe by putting just enough aluminum foil on top of it to arc through your skin, leaving cute little black charred spots, but in short enough bursts that it won't stop your heart.

Ignoring the fact that just about all the HD's made since the 1980's when IDE became popular can relocate sectors, and since the 2000's didn't even necessarily expose the physical sector sizes and all kinds of other abstractions.

So, the idea that we shouldn't have a disk abstraction to allow actual filesystems to focus on what matters to the user is sorta nonsense. You probably have this idea that all flash disks are the same, and i'm here to tell you they are not, just like not all computers are 8 cores big.little machines. Disks scale from little tiny emmc, controllers to large shared arrays that are doing deduplication, replication, etc,etc,etc and the media can be individual flash chips, massive parallel flash, spinning disks, arrays of spinning disks, mixes of flash and spinning disk, etc, etc, etc.

There have been a half dozen raw flash layers in linux over the past ~15 years, and generally they all suck, make assumptions about the flash that doesn't hold for more than a couple generations, end up slower than off the shelf flash with FTL's (aka what your calling FAL), and have frequently failed to allow the kinds of filesystem layering that one expects of linux/grub/etc. (and then there are the ones running at various hyperscalers that consume more RAM than most people have in their PC's).
It’s possibly difficult with one or two images but with several, I’m pretty sure you can apply some sort pattern matching and statistically hit a certainty threshold. The question then becomes, can you use this tech as forensic evidence in a court?
That was to drive the point with a common reference point. The moon in this is comparing yourself with yourself. Maybe OP looks gorgeous with hair but banal without and it's frustrating him.

If shaving your hair gets you from an "8" to a "6" on a "hotness scale", that's two "points" wasted for nothing and OP may be looking at some quick win to get those two points back.

> what about a tape measure with an orange or yellow case and black on the side?

Interesting you should mention that, since Stanley has a trademark on a particular layout with yellow on the side.

I don't think it's particularly ridiculous, although I work for a company that is synonymous with a color. These are after using the particular consistent color branding for 20 years, 50 years, 100 years. After a generation or two, people associate the color with the category, but there are tons of other colors, even for specific criteria like "high viz". Entirely yellow is fine! Fluorescent green is fine! Light grey and yellow is fine.
I'm confused about Indonesia ("reformasi"). You wrote <<US political influence>>. Can you explain how this worked in the context of Indonesia? As I understand, one of the major catalysts of Indonesian democratic reform was the Asian currency crisis.
He did the right thing wrong.

Cold emailing in the B2B space is totally normal. He just wasn't cold emailing. The sheer numbers alone, combined with the fact that he used some scumbag data broker to get contact info, means to me that he was actually just spamming people.

If he had individually researched each company, then after deciding he could likely help them, looked for the right contact in their org and personally contacted them, he would have ended up doing the right thing right.

He would have ended up sending more like 80 emails, not 800.
Learning to coexist with the animals, as the article mentioned, is probably the best approach.

I once read an article about tiger attacks in India and a brilliant tactic people developed: wearing a mask on the back of the head. Cats are ambush predators and will attack from behind. Apparently having a "face" on the back of your head is a good deterrent against cat attacks.

Growing up near Glacier Park, we were given a great deal of wilderness survival instruction starting in elementary school (this was back in the '70s and '80s). I spent a fair bit of time tramping through the woods alone as a child, making noise so as not to startle the bears as taught. When I did occasionally come upon a bear, it wasn't fussed and continued on doing what it was doing. The odd report of a mauling elicited sympathy but there seemed to be a tacit assumption that the poor fellow screwed up somehow. In all that time, I never so much as caught a glimpse of a cat, though they were surely around.

Predators getting used to humans happens when they come to depend on humans. Glacier Park learned from the "Night of the Grizzly" episode by keeping the bears out of food waste and considering feeding the bears a serious no-no. Animals that were unable or unwilling to return to their normal survival strategies were relocated or put down, though the major change was educating people and changing their behaviors. However, if you've got big cats in your backyard, I imagine that population is already stressed.
Hard to me more incorrect. Unbelievable.

Yeah HVAC techs use nitrogen a lot. They use it for pressure testing, cleaning line sets, flowing while brazing to avoid oxidation, and sometimes even to clean out condensate lines. Hopefully your AC is working well, it is in the mid 90s here today in the New England.

V is not 1.0, so why so bothered that autofree isn't stable enough? Especially if the person is not even using V. Clearly the majority of V supporters and users are not bothered, and are finding V useful to them.

Autofree exists and somewhat works (https://youtu.be/gmB8ea8uLsM), it's a matter of perfecting it so that it requires minimum user knowledge about memory management. You can enable Autofree and use it, but the user must understand what they are doing and reference examples of code and programs that do use it.

So in the mean time, the V developers decided to experiment with and select GC as an alternative memory management method. That should not be a problem for a language in Alpha, nor for anybody "outside looking in", that understands language development. GC usage worked out great for them and the users, so they made it the default. Autofree and manual, would be the other options that users can choose, but they must enable those.

Furthermore, other languages like Nim, have multiple memory management options. I don't see people on HN getting so hot and bothered about that, just for some strange reasons, they seem oddly bothered by V adopting and having multiple options (GC, Autofree, and manual) instead of one.
There are many many of these and people use them all the time; most people at the levels they're being hit don't have time to wonder how you got their address (and for many, many companies it can be as simple as guessing their address format from other available ones, something like first.last@company is pretty easy to work out).

And if these people ever go to a conference, they likely hand out business cards with their info on them.
I have a number of "blogs" I put posts on, hosted on my own server, running my own domains, and I write for me. It's good practice.

I can say, quite emphatically, that I do not write to be read and would not enjoy writing to be read or to have a following.

I can say that, again, quite emphatically, that I write to write, not to be read, because I did blog for a few years, with the intention of being read, which turned what I enjoy in to an endless grind of trying to please or chase the next interesting topic so that I could be read, and after a few years, the audience did grow, and I made I little money, and I hated every day of it. I constantly ran in to people online who threatened me with unsubscribing should I dare even t mention a particular topic or hold an opinion that didn't align perfectly with their ever shifting idea of acceptable.

I also have written many, many, many, many articles for various industry and trade magazines on the topics of software development, technology, and so forth, and made quite a bit of money at it, and a reasonable name for myself, and again, I turned something I enjoyed doing into something I didn't really enjoy doing. And the money, in the end, wasn't all that great, but the name recognition helped, right up until it didn't because I dared to write something that a HR person at a company disagreed with.

I write, because I want to capture my thoughts.

I write, because I want to write.

I write, for my own amusement.

I loving writing, but I don't want to be a writer. I love cooking, but I don't want to be a chef. I love building furniture, but I don't want to be a cabinetmaker. I love 3D printing, but I don't want to run a service bureau.

The mainland originally let Hong Kong be because it was almost their only outlet for trade while China was closed in the 50s-early 80s. It lost that purpose as China opened up. Macau has always been the place to launder money away from Mainland China, the casinos were convenient for that until Xi cracked down.

I think one short answer is that many static sites aren't "at scale" when they start and probably will never get there.

But if they do, this feature is sort of insurance. I'm a backend dev / DevOps engineer, so you might get a different take from someone who works in frontend daily.

I wouldn’t worry about it - it’s internet message board know-it-all syndrome.

Layoffs are financial and political decisions. Sometimes people layoff idiots when given the chance, other times they layoff the smartest people to protect their friends. I consulted at a bank where a SVP would reorganize non-core business units into his org specifically to meet his reduction target while minimizing business impact. Those people were cannon fodder from day 1.

Hiring is the same way. If you only hire pristine resumes without gaps, you’re selecting for survivors - not the same as performers. It’s more of a statement about the hirer-er than hire-ee.
