And so it is with interviewing techniques. You say "[leetcode] interview processes are not the only way," which is of course true. But it is also true that all other interviewing techniques are also unpopular on HN and with programmers in general. Of course each programmer has one or more techniques that they prefer, but there is no single technique that has even simple majority support amongst engineers as a whole.

Let's review some common techniques and what HN would say. NB: not expressing my opinion on any of these, just compiling common complaints you can find in any HN thread about interviewing.

Leetcode problems: rewards rote memorization over real ingenuity, not relevant to job, high stress.

Take home problem: company not incentivized to respect candidate's time; bias towards candidates that are unemployed, not engaged at current job, or otherwise able to devote large amounts of time to the task; easier to outsource; basically asking candidates to "work for free"

Review of github profile, OS projects, blogs, etc...: bias against candidates that "have a life" and don't program 24/7.

Discussion of previous work: highly subjective, susceptible to frauds and/or exaggerators, prone to false positives (complaint usually phrased in a form like: "we did this at my last company and we hired a bunch of people who couldn't code.")

“I don't know what the l̶a̶n̶g̶u̶a̶g̶e̶ interview technique of the year 2̶0̶0̶0̶ 2030 will look like, but I know it will be c̶a̶l̶l̶e̶d̶ ̶F̶o̶r̶t̶r̶a̶n̶ unpopular on HN.
And do we have reason to believe the vulnerability/CVE process for Safari is different from Chrome or Firefox?

'A Modern Incarnation of Rebol

'Red is based conceptually and syntactically on Rebol ("Relative Expression Based Object Language"). Rebol is a commercial, closed source programming language created in the late 1990's which aimed to be the most productive, readable, and concise development tool available. Its main goal was to reduce code complexity and to remove bloated infrastructure found in typical software development stacks.'

Looks like the pitch is to use this instead of a huge collection of Excel docs to run your business, with the key feature being it's a simple enough language you can train anyone capable of learning Excel to use Red instead.
This is one option, and I'm sure it works for some people, but I prefer to overdeliver for the trusted contacts that I actually have then get introductions slowly over time to more important people. Not my only tactic, but by far the best one. I don't really care about status or wealth, but I've had calls with multiple billionaires and world renowned subject area experts. None of these were from cold calling or cold emailing.

Honestly, I've found cold contacting to be such a slog that it demoralizes me more than the meagre amount of work it brings in. Sometimes the front door works and its the only option for some circumstance or another, but if you have enough time and enough of a buffer there's always a better way. Even something as simple as finding, say, the person's philanthropic foundation and showing up to a $500 fundraising dinner is far, far more effective.

But for some, the sales grind works just fine and they like the fact that they can set up funnels and process around it. I prefer a more fortuitous, organic life. I find it more fulfilling and authentic.
Never used Briefcase. I just remember being confused by it as a kid. I did, however, use Iomega Zip Drives to move large (at the time) files.
This is really nice...plenty to think on.
The overturning of R v W left substantive due process in tact, so there is still room for abortions when the unborn child threatens the life or serious health (blindness, etc.) of the mother.

It's not as clear as you seem to think.

I would agree with the second court here. Prior to 25weeks this shouldn't be a murder. But if the action have an effect on the woman ability to bear children in the future, this should be considered as aggravating circumstances.

And there is no case of abusing husbands causing miscarriage in the US. Even though i found study citing that 27% of miscarriage are caused by wife beaters in india, i couldn't find the statistics or any case in the US.
That isn't what IC means - it means "not management". You do your job, whatever that may be and whomever you may be teamed with, but do not have direct reports.
You could be correct, or you might have an exaggerated preconceived notion on how hard it is to provide language level patches because of how the industry was in the 90's and early 2000's.

Due to chance I've worked in a company where a colleague had patched the language we were using to save some memory. Back then I (and many people in the Ruby community) considered him a rockstar for doing so. That praise definitely was deserved, since he's done all sorts of cool stuff in his career, but in retrospect that while bold, this feat wasn't all that inconceivable. The Ruby interpreter isn't some magical blackbox, it's got all the features we've learned about in university neatly organized in C files. Somewhere in there is a garbage collector, it manages memory. You can spend a week or so and understand its basic workings. Making it behave slightly different for a specific use case isn't such a moon shot, I believe any smart and experienced engineer could do a proof of concept in a week or two.

I'd like to flip it around. If you're coding on a platform that is so complicated that you couldn't patch it if you needed to, then you're on the wrong platform. That platform is a liability to your company, a liability that you might have to pay off by getting a support contract.

That said, I'm pretty sure the Haskell runtime is very complex, so it might still be the wrong language. I'm just saying, I remember the early 2000's, and if you ran into a problem with your .Net or Java runtime, or god forbid Windows itself, you better be working at a big fat company with a nice support contract, or you'd basically be screwed.

>Yet you can't point out the difference.

The purpose of a uterus is not the same as other organs. The purpose of your regular organs is to support your body. The purpose of a uterus is to support the fetus. If a woman didn't bear children she wouldn't have a uterus.

>And so we should pretend that flat earth, anti-vax, and life from conception are all valid worldviews that deserve respect?

I don't think you need to consider a view valid to show the person (not the view) making it respect.

>This has everything to do with religion, because this particular fallacy was invented by one particular religion. Notably, you still hadn't shown a single non-religious argument; instead you're now looping repeating something that's already been shown to be irrelevant ("good biological evidence").

You are the one repeating. Nobody is talking about religion except for you.

So long as you can't stop bring up religion there is no point in continuing.

>Sure, but they _could_. While in case of fetuses and cadavers we can easily prove this is not the case.

A toddler does not have a fully formed brain. The brain does not fully form until the person is in their 20s.

Fetuses have brain waves. Some of the brain waves look similar to brain waves during dreams. That is not to say the fetus is in fact dreaming, but it _could_ be.
Azure supports hard stops on services with billing maximums. It does mean that stuff gets turned off if you enable that. Then again, as an individual, that's a superb way to control costs.

And since Scamazon doesn't do that and INSTEAD "gives" you a 1 month unlimited credit, there's no telling just how stratospheric your bill can be.

> AWS is really good at refunding you if you accidentally rack up a couple grand in surprise bills.

If there were hard limits, there'd be no need to beg AWS support for leniency, which they can capriciously choose you don't deserve.
Speaking for myself, I wish I could run more addons in Firefox for Android than just uBlock Origin.

(I'm a 15+ year user, I started using it when I discovered I could run it off a flash drive on locked-down shared computers.)
FORTRAN is for scientists who use computers to do their science. IMHE, it's not really a language used by generic software engineers, you would be expected to understand how to apply complicated math to some sophisticated problems. The place I worked for had a pipeline to turn PhDs into FORTRAN developers; CS/SE people filled the support roles and mostly wrote C & shell scripts.

That's not true. It's more that Mozilla white lists only very few of the addons for the mobile browser.

Also, the parable is terrible because it tries to equate the businessman's planned end state with the fisherman's current state. But they are not equal because the parable ignores risk and options for the future. The businessman finally enjoying life on the beach also has the resources to weather a surprise injury or sickness, to raise children, to find a different hobby or to change his mind and decide he'd rather travel than sit on the beach. The fisherman doesn't have any of these options. If the beach town gets wiped out in a hurricane, the businessman has the resources to move, but the fisherman does not.

I agree with you that almost everyone in my life who told me "Hey, money isn't everything" was already very wealthy.
> Right but if the street only pushes for a single modeshare is it really a public street or is it a street for that modeshare?

I mean, I don't think anyone would dispute that sidewalks are a public resource even though I can't drive my dirtbike on them. Just because a public resource has a designated use doesn't make it private or otherwise less-public.

> Right and transit users/cyclists pay the same road taxes that motorists do and also pay per transit trip.

Where on earth do cyclists pay per trip? Anyway, I pointed out that drivers pay for street parking (contrary to the parent's implication that they do not), and you're refuting that with "cyclists and transit users also pay for their transit" which doesn't actually address my claim. In other words, arguing that drivers pay for street use doesn't imply that users of other modes of transit don't pay for their transit.

> ... Who do you think are advocating for these new bike lanes and transit lines?

Advocating for new lanes and lines is not the same for advocating that those new lanes and lines are financed by cyclists and public transit users exclusively. This seems like it should have been obvious...

> So it's unclear to me where your cynicism of ... comes from. If anything it's more indicative of the parent's opinion that drivers perceive any change in fees to be punishment.

Well, as I explained above, just because someone votes against dedicated transit lanes doesn't mean they're perceiving them as "punishing drivers". For example, intuition suggests that they reduce the overall throughput of a street (at least in Chicago, buses aren't running at capacity, so increasing the bus capacity isn't obviously going to increase street capacity, especially at the cost of a lane). So absent information to contradict my intuition, I would vote against a proposal for a dedicated bus lane on the basis that it seems like it would reduce the throughput of a street, not because I perceive it as "punishment".

MPPT controller has a better communication set of commands and you'll notice the ethernet port that can send TX/RX out to a monitor or connect to a network. That's where the general $15-100 charge controller falls off the map - think Horror Freight.

Mind you there are some spectacular Chinese PCB designs / implementations out there for cheap, but off the shelf this is a fairly inexpensive / future proof / expandable unit should more power come off that.

I use something similar and have a wifi module that reports out to a dashboard in the house and can take remote commands from a phone if within bluetooth range.
Well, it _is_ (La)TeX syntax. With the exception that there, if you want a dollar sign, you have to type \$. But yeah, the syntax isn't made for Markdown.

> So a larger portion of the country does agree with this.

but 50% will vote red (roughly), 50% will vote blue (roughly), and the red party as a whole has displayed 0 interest in banning the "loophole" that is... an 18 year old can pass a quick online background check (near impossible to check the background of a young adult when history is so little) and be given an AR-15 legally

so

70% poll is useless unless our democracy/voting structure somehow changes in a way that would allow those 70% of people to have their opinions result in change
> Patriotic feelings or values?

But that's exactly my point. Few people believe the military advances those values.

Edit: To clarify, when I wrote "their interests", I meant including collective interests, i.e. those of the group or nation, whose defense is usually lumped under "patriotism".
Yeah - I really hate the term "full stack" as it can really mean vastly stuff in different contexts, between different companies, hell - even in leading teams I feel like I have to nail down what "full stack" means between the members.

> But again, that's just me confused about what is "full stack"

Me too because it's grown into an amorphous definition =/
I haven't found a way of fixing this problem individually - I believe that the only solution is systemic/cultural, where the work culture has to change to one where initiators of communication are more restrained and receivers are more diligent about following up.

I believe that the fact that senders are trigger-happy and receivers aren't great at reading suggests that the root problem behind both symptoms is that both groups don't value the time of others very well, which would explain both sides of the problem - although I'm open to alternative explanations.
Vim 9.0 has been released
Wasn't aware of it either. Chris has video where he shows how it can be used to create a smooth edge on a card scraper (prior to burnishing):
https://vimeo.com/154986086

I find that file alone is quite enough for me but it does look really nice use case. Would imagine it could be handy sharpening hard to reach places.

Also, while Chris isn't recommending it as a general tool for sharpening, I can imagine the name "Universal Sharpener" could lead people to believe it's a good choice for general purpose sharpening.
There just wasn't any need - they had a world filled with magic.

Why would you ruin the natural world for industrial gains? In fact the Orkai and the white wizard was quite industrious with their forges and their war machine production and the natural world pushed back.

That and I don't see the start up world being that different from a risk perspective just the outcomes are different. And maybe middle earth was still to early.
Most research isn’t reproduced because it’s not economically lucrative for researchers to reproduce research. It’s that simple. If you want scientists to reproduce research, make funding available for that purpose. It has nothing to do with political biases.

I mean, if you’re talking about completely made up research then that’s a matter of fraud, not political biases.
>I don't think so; the UK passed the Data Protection Act 2018 just 4 years ago, to bring GDPR into UK law.

This is wrong.

The Data Protection Act did not bring the GDPR in to UK law, GDPR became part of UK law as soon as it was passed because it's an EU regulation, and regulations have direct effect in all member states (which at the time it was passed included the UK).

The GDPR then became "retained EU law" by virtue of Section 3 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, and was then modified (turning it in to the UK GDPR) by the The Data Protection, Privacy and Electronic Communications (Amendments etc) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019. These regulations also amended the Data Protection Act, fwiw.
Terminology copied from large code factories and assembly lines, such as google, facebook and other modern day Chryslers and Fords. Beats "worker" or "resource".
I respect your question and have the same question from the reverse side. I similarly have difficulty understanding how Christians who follow a doctrine that appears to be so kind can behave in ways that seem so cruel and heartless to the rest of us.

I suspect it is down to unbridgeable axiomatic differences.

You see a fertilized egg as a human with rights, I see it as a cell with interesting potential, not particularly more deserving of rights than any other cell with potential.

Even if I accepted that a fertilized egg has human rights, I don't understand why those rights outweigh the autonomy of the donor/host. What if I told you that your blood, bone marrow, kidney, or even lung could save another human's life at relatively minimal risk to your survival? (It's true, and I recommend everyone reading this be an organ donor and sign up for bethematch.com) But should the state be allowed to legally compel you to undertake these risks to save another human life?

Judging the stories of pro-life advocates who get abortions while convincing themselves that "their situation is different" my assumption is that there is a basic lack of human empathy. I've found that this squares with the fact that many people oppose benefits and rights for others but then begin to support them when it personally impacts them.

You are missing the point in the fictional history which will change everything: the age of man. Of humans.

Yes humans can repopulate. And thus their era arrives. Thus your objection isn't a plot hole but part of what makes Tolkens work so interesting.

Why you don't need Photoshop for your business?
For those websites that can use it (like a blog), it seems like static site generation would be better, to cache the database requests? Then you can run in the free tier of Netlify or using GitHub pages, for example.

Or to do the opposite, for a single-player website where there aren't any server requests to cache, a client-only website can run offline.

Fresh looks good for multi-player websites that are unavoidably making database requests interactively, though.
I was just joking but this interpretation is a great metaphor for our modern world.

A meme (not the 4chan kind) going around lately is the history of the modern world is us as a society knowing less - as opposed to esotericism which is a belief that sometime in the past all the knowledge existed and then we forgot it, it got fragmented, and we find the origin, the center, then we can be free or make gold out of lead or whatever. Scientific revolution, postmodernism etc starts from the assumption we don't know anything and we can't know anything - instead of an origin, knowledge permeates everything.

So if we have a fantasy world where there are actual immortal beings and magic really exists (even though rare as mentioned by another poster) then how can you ever start with the assumption that nobody in the world knows? If you want knowledge, it's a matter of finding the right person or the right ancient scrolls or artifact.

Probably pandoc protects whatever is inside $...$ or $$...$$. GitHub doesn't. I would be curious to know how pandoc handles the other failing cases.

That's why so many great civilizations were founded in places with good geographic barriers around a productive interior. Ancient Egypt for example had the Nile and was surrounded by vast deserts, which weren't feasible to cross at the time. On the other end of history, the US has similar advantages.
Most of which could be straightforwardly marshaled to handle food logistics, thus solving this problem, except that there are other priorities that are apparently more important.

As someone who has had taxes done by EY, I'm not the least bit surprised.
I'm outraged because nobody in this thread is as interested in drawing a line somewhere between "postcoital contraception" and "aborting a nearly-viable fetus" as they are in holding the line on either side of "fertilized embryo" and "infant".

I guess I'll add to the chorus of people who "just don't understand the other side" in saying that I don't understand either side. Arguing for fertilized embryo rights makes no sense to me. But arguing in favor of abortion and not even mentioning where the line is drawn makes just as little sense. Oft-repeated phrases like "a fetus isn't a person" sound scary to me. It's casual dismissiveness that falls back on pure terminology, and the thing being dismissed might have a brain comparable to that of an infant. Specificity is extremely important here.

If people are going to act like abortion rights are the most obviously ethical thing in the world, I really wish they'd stop using the word fetus. The obvious, strong argument for abortion only applies to abortions before the fetus is morally person-like. Once a fetus is sufficiently person-like, we must at least admit that the moral calculus is complicated, since at that point there's more than one significant outcome for a feeling, thinking thing.
...are we just going to ignore the fact that Middle Earth also has wizards and mind-controlling rings?

I don't mean this dismissively, I just think more imagination is called for. If Mordor couldn't have arisen via normal plate tectonics, then geology must work differently on Middle Earth, or there must be other magical forces at play. (If I remembered anything significant about LoTR I would suggest a more specific theory.)
> eg. how often do programs check if `printf("something")` actually succeeded?

Probably not very often? But they probably should?

If you're printing something, there's probably a case where you care about that being printed, and if it's not in that case, that's bad?

This also applies to logs too. Just because you're not always looking at the logs doesn't mean they're not important when you need them.

Sure, if you have some chatty logs going through a distributed logging system you might not want to crash the whole thing, and in that case you might want to ignore the exception. But this is a very fringe case.
