Betteridge's law of headlines is an adage that states "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no."

A corollary to this law states that "Any question whether a specific thing equates to one of the many -isms can be answered by the word no"

In other words stop worrying about whether those who like to label people are likely to label you for whatever reason, both because of the fact that they will label you anyway and because those labels don't mean a thing - they convey more about the labeller than about the labelled.

As to the conundrum related to "fast fashion" I'd say it is perfectly normal to consider this a wasteful practice worthy to be shunned. Wear your clothes until they either don't fit or they fall apart at the seams, then repair them and continue wearing them until they are worn. Keep them clean, keep them free from unsightly blemishes and holes/tears/fringes (the last two seem to be fashionable every now and then but they're also quite unhandy). Keep some more fancy pieces around for those occasions where these are called for, care for them in the same way and you're done.

Similar in Mandarin (`shi` and `bu shi`), but you can also just use `shi` and `bu` by themselves. Not sure if thats just colloquial or what, I'm not a native speaker.
Oooh I really like that for when people ask ambiguous questions. So is there an equivalent in mandarin for "Have you stopped beating your wife"?

It seems like maybe you could just say "no beat" and there's no linguistic trap.
Not OP, but the company I work for certainly does. They are required to by various business and government contracts.

They only enforce it if you run windows, though.

Thats usually the case with these types of articles. A lot of times they arent written out of good will, but to pose something the author does not like as a bigger problem than it actually is. In this case, like you said, the author feels like they are not part of the problem and shouldn't "count."

Shirley, you jest.

Lawyers are asked to argue "demo cases" in court all the time.

Social workers are expected to help patients through trauma, in "demo therapy sessions," all the time.

CEOs are asked to do "demo IPOs," all the time.

CPAs are asked to do "demo audits," all the time.

In case no one realizes, that was all a joke. Of course, none of these happen, IRL.

I can see people with no track record (like just coming out of school), needing to do this kind of thing, but, once we have some accomplishments under our belts, we can have some track record.

Some of us may even have significant portfolios. Mine is so complete, that you can easily tell what I can (and can't) do, without ever even contacting me.

Designers live and die by their portfolios. Any first-time designer is expected to have a portfolio to show the prospective employer. Once the designer has been working for a while, they can point to their track record.
Ampo: Food Made of Soil
In my capacity of unofficial spokesperson for the hype mob, I would say that if a tool can be created that has legitimate and nonlegitimate purposes, criminalizing its creation or possession is the worst possible action to take, because it ensures that all talented people who are interested in developing it for legitimate purposes become disaffected at worst or aligned with your enemies at best. Setting aside the moral argument, the NSA's treatment of Snowden, Manning, et al. makes it much more difficult for the NSA to attract the best talent in its field.

Everyone's different, but I would happily take 6h of working at my own pace with full access to all of my normal tooling in a low pressure environment over 1-2h of high pressure speed coding using "tools" (web editors...ugh) I'm unfamiliar with. It sucks that you were ghosted, and I would view that more as an indictment on that company rather than the practice of a home assignment. To me there's no easier evaluation of skills you could ask for.
I think there is a big middle ground between no skill assessments/casual chat and onerous skill assessments that gatekeep the profession to those that can spend hours of their own time after-hours, one that the vast majority of devs interviewing likely fall into.

Hiring managers need to actually spend time constructing a process that has questions (and if needed, exercises) that specifically determine whether a candidate has the specific skills needed for the job at hand. But that is actually fairly hard to do right, and it's easy to just grab some semi-random "take home exercise" and hand it off and call it a proper assessment. A proper technical interview will have increasingly specific questions that will both assess skill level and a person's ability to communicate with the team. If there is an exercise, it should reflect the specific skills the person will be expected to use in the job at hand. And bonus points for flexibly adjusting between in-person or take-home depending on the interviewee's strengths and wishes in that regard.
I don't think there's any causation from the USA sanctions to the arrest, possibly even vice versa, with some investigation before this arrest leading to some part of the sanctions.

The specific USA sanctions are not retroactive, it's not a crime to have violated them before an entity was sanctioned; and I doubt if it's a Netherlands crime to violate USA sanctions.

In any case, the article seems quite clear that he was arrested for facilitating money laundering, not for a sanctions-related offense, the sentence about sanctions was just extra information for context. And for this part, the big issue is intent - if it turns out that he developed this mixer with the intent to facilitate hiding illegal transactions, that would be facilitating money laundering. And looking at some comments here I wouldn't be that surprised that he might have explicitly admitted it in writing.

This is one of the primary reasons I tend to prefer retro games, or games which are similar to retro games. They tend not to be optimized in these sorts of ways, and are often called "janky." But, they're more fun in a lot of cases. The player is often more free to develop their own strategies, and this often feels like you're "breaking the game," or at least not playing in the intended way.

The first time I experienced this was playing the original Demon's Souls, and then later playing Dark Souls. I wasn't actually any good at playing Demon's Souls, and during my first playthrough I stumbled onto all sorts now-well-known ways of abusing the game's mechanics:

- Baiting individual enemies with arrows so you can fight them one at a time.

- Killing enemies from afar with arrows by standing outside of their agro range.

- Physically turning off the console to avoid a death being recorded. (at the time I didn't know exiting the game would work better)

There are more examples than just this, but I distinctly remember when first playing these games that I often didn't feel like I was playing the game "correctly." By 2009, most games had pretty lengthy tutorials, and would often have a "live" tutorial every time you encountered some new type of enemy. They'd tell you "proper" way to find the enemy's weak point, often of a voice-over. Demon's Souls obviously did none of this, and you were left to figure out how to make it past each enemy. Often the best solution (from a difficulty perspective) was the jankiest. Take the Ornstein and Smough fight in Dark Souls. Is there anyone who doesn't use the pillars to get cover from Smough's hammer attack?

In any case, the point I'm making is that the less optimized games can be much more rewarding, and often demand much more player creativity.
I waited a whole year to bring my electric bike in and my maintenance bill was $300+. The higher speed and braking energy puts a lot of wear on the components. After that I learned how to do maintenance myself to save some money but I warn people considering an e-bike that maintenance costs will be non-trivial.

None that I know of, that is the real tragedy.

On the illusion of superiority, I'm well aware of that but do not forget that it does not mean that some people are not actually better or worse (at information, driving, cooking or anything) than the others.

Some abilities can actually be evaluated, for example there is such a thing as truth, so even though one person can be bad at evaluating themselves, it is absolutely possible to recognise misinformation in others.

Fast fashion is helping to cause enormous economic discrepancies in the world and at the same time is driving consumerism and irresponsible and short sighted business practices leading to global warming. It might be the single worst thing that Americans are responsible for.
Part of evaluating candidates includes, on some level, how quickly they complete work. If I can submit work of quality Q in 2 hours, and you can submit work of quality 1.5Q in 2 hours, you're at a distinct disadvantage if I instead spend an entire day and submit something of 2Q, whether it's couched in "taking pride in craftsmanship" or whatever else. Also, perhaps a bit more reductively, if you're told to spend up to 2 hours on something and you spend 6, that says something about your ability or desire to follow directions.

Your last point isn't true at all, it doesn't need to be in person it just needs to be coordinated. I mention one real-life example of this that worked out very well at the end of the comment you're replying to.

I'm in my 30s with a little short of 15 years of experience (all individual contributor), and have interviewed people who claim 20 years of experience or whatever, and they just haven't come close to some people who have been out of uni for a few years. Just cos you have 20 years of experience, it doesn't mean you're fit for the role. Equally, just cos you're just out of university, doesn't mean you're not fit for the role.

The whole point of these tests and whatnot is to weed out the bad from the good. It definitely is unfair on those who are good, but I'm not really sure what the alternative is.

I dislike the take home tests as much as the next person, and only do them if I really want the job. Beyond that, it's a neccessary evil until something better comes along.

Depends on the setup. I wouldn't trust anything network connected. I would also want paper backup for validation.

I once used a touch screen voting machine about 10 years ago. The screen calibration or button values must have been atrocious. I got to the review screen and it said I was about to vote for the opposite candidates in a couple races. I had to go back and very carefully select everything again. Some of the buttons were not matching with the touch areas that should be associated with them.

Overall, the best system I've used are the bubble sheets. It has a verifiable paper ballot, can be electronically counted, not network connected, and is simple to use just like in school.
Weird - I had this exact scenario with a contract position working with Sony. I was even rushed to complete the take-home task, after which I was ghosted.
Oh I must have missed that headline. I read the paragraph but didn’t quite understand anyway.

Fast fashion isn’t just cheap clothing—it’s cheap and trendy clothing. The term “fast” refers to how a company brings a product to market.

Not sure I get it still. What difference does days vs months make in fashion? Trends like colors or width of jeans legs moves like glaciers.

Is this some TikTok phenomenon thing where there is a viral video or a famous artist wearing something and in response these companies try to rush similar stuff to shelves?

In Scottish Gaelic you'd use "Tha" or "Chan eil" to literally say "yes" or "no".

"Tha" - pronounced like "Haa" - is more like "It is" or "I am", "A'bheil thu sgìth?" "Tha, tha mi sgìth." "Are you tired?" "Yes, I am tired".

"Chan eil" - the "ch" is like in "loch", that back-of-the-throat sound, and "eil" is like "ale" - is a syntactically gendered form of "Cha" and "bheil", where the "bh" pronounced a bit like a "v" is dropped and an "n" is added. "Syntactically gendered" isn't like male female person gender, it's like plug socket gender - you can't say "Cha eil" because there's a stupid-sounding stop in it, like you can't say "a apple". You'd say "*an* apple" so you've got a consonant between the vowel sounds.

But yeah in general I'd ask you "Are you hungry?" and you'd say "I'm not" or "I am" rather than "No" or "Yes".

Of course modern Gaelic is a heavily code-switched language so you'd probably just use "No" or "Yes" directly anyway if you were speaking in a modern idiom.
Yes, people conflate fashion with clothing, the necessity, and they believe they should be able to enjoy fashion affordably as though it’s a necessity.

There are other things like this. People expect to be able to access the things they like without friction, and luxuries become necessities. Meat is a similar example in North America, where it’s terrible for the environment and extremely resource and labour intensive, yet people get upset when they can’t get a pound for pennies.

Both industries benefit greatly from people thinking of the product as a necessity or close to it.

If you're giving someone 6h worth of tasks, you really need to:

a) be 100% absolutely certain that you definitely need this to evaluate the candidate (you most likely don't)

b) if you do then you owe it to them to study their submission, run it, test it and provide clear feedback and honestly if they've broadly met the requirements you should interview them. The submission could form part of the interview process - maybe you pair program some changes together, or discuss part of the implementation. Basically if someone delivers six hours of work, you use it.

c) No matter what, you communicate with the candidate throughout this process. There is absolutely no excuse for ghosting candidates. None
