A two hour coding session is a nope from me, and a lot of talent will feel the same, you're going to miss out on some good people.

You're going to learn little to nothing regardless of whether you're face to face or not. Modern interview processes are an exercise in feeding the other side things they want to see/hear. I'm a firm believer that good fit cannot be determined until the candidate has been in the seat for a month or so.
I have no idea who is telling me the truth and what the truth even is. But, honestly, my biggest problem here is the citing that youtube is taking down videos of tesla owners doing the same "test" on their own.

People really need to get wise on who is getting played... O'dowd's tesla test video has comments disabled, dislikes disabled by youtube, youtube deleting contrary videos because google knows the truth and wants to keep you safe and informed /s.
Addressed in other comment (and comments below it) on this thread here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32597463
And I'd rather somebody admit that they took longer, say 4 hours to get to the 80% because they were a bit rusty, their IDE on their private machine wasn't as expected (e.g. Intellij CE vs the Ultimate at work), they had to look up how to bootstrap a service from 0 because they hadn't done that in ages even at work etc. than to under deliver a 20% solution in the 2 hours asked.

Limits are fine if you ask me. Give me a couple days in which I can do this on my own time and if my kid needs me for something 10 minutes after I started I can deal with it and just come back to the test an hour later. Specific hours? Screw you, not even gonna start.

“Critics who treat ‘adult’ as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”

—C.S. Lewis
It is telling that Rogan keeps referring to the NYPost, a conservative tabloid rag [0], as a respectable paper and reliable source.

I fix this by using a one-time card number for any subscription or recurring purchase. Citi and Capital One offer them for free (the latter has a much better UI), or a lot of people use Privacy.com. Even a Visa/MC gift card works well if you happen to get one for a rebate or something. It would be great if merchants all abided by #2 and gave notice of impending charges, but ultimately I prefer to shut off the taps on my timeline rather than theirs.
> That's pretty much the Github logic.

Of note: github can actually override this logic internally, in a way which they have not made accessible through the API: if you use github's merge button to squash or rebase-merge a PR, it'll be marked as merged, despite the PR's commits not being part of the target branch.
I see no reason why the answer shouldn't be "yes" to each of those bullets. I don't think the logic falls apart. Public goods and services should be public goods and services, full stop.
You'd definitely save $200 since base M1 Air is $999 vs M2 Air being $1199.
Games are entertainment.

Part of the frustration I have with the game industry is taking themselves entirely too seriously.

It's like watching Dr Seuss search for some deeper meaning outside of simply entertaining and teaching children.

Why can't being entertaining be enough?
The actual creative work might involve solitude (I do better with less distractions), but brainstorming sessions with other people are incredibly useful for finding new ideas and perspectives you'd have missed on your own.
My attitude is that take-home tests should be given to candidates if they cannot share work they've already done.

This creates a win-win incentive because it would become standard in our industry to have a portfolio of GitHub contributions, a stack overflow profile, etc. At least those artefacts are helpful to a wider community as well as showing your abilities.

Couple this with an open ended technical conversation with the engineer, progressively drilling down on items they know about to see the depth of their skillset, you will understand the key skills they can present for the job opportunity.
How much would you pay? I've moved to posteo and I can't think of paying more than 1€/month for email. I never considered Protonmail because 4€/month is what i consider way too much for email. My root server is 6€/month (atom/4gb/1tb/100mbit).
I love this model. I have a movie ticket subscription that does this too if I don't use the ticket.
Shh!!! if someone at Usenix finds out, the entire organization will disappear in a puff of logic!

That is a pretty far cry from Oracle having the data, especially pre-cloud. I think you are conflating "an Oracle system" with a system that Oracle actually controls rather than and end user that using the software. This is like saying a hard drive manufacturer has all the data that are on their hard drives.
Workers in the US (tech or otherwise) have never had the upper hand. They've just been able to get screwed with lube in the last few months as companies burn through the last of the cheap credit they can get.
I don't want to speak for the last commenter, but I think they meant google for literal solutions to this take-home (i.e. cheating to beat the timer).

I do strongly agree that people should be able to use whatever resources they normally have (google, mdn, autocompleting editor, etc.). This is how they would work on the job. Getting quizzed on easily referenced random trivia about language features is so dumb.
Another tangentially related tool that I recently learned about is "BNFC":

Given a Labelled BNF grammar the tool produces:

- an abstract syntax implementation in the target language,
- a case skeleton for the abstract syntax in the target language,
- a pretty-printer in the target language,
- an Alex, JLex, or Flex lexer generator file ,
- a Happy, CUP, or Bison parser generator file, and
- a LaTeX file containing a readable specification of the language.

Targeting C, Haskell, Agda, C, C++, Java, or OCaml.

Might be fun to expand on this to generate tree-sitter, highlight.js, or a vscode extension.

This isn’t perfect either. Now they have pre sold weight to you. Will they offer a full refund of unused weight? If so, why did they charge you for it ahead of time instead of a per usage?

They are hoping you have some excess weight you never use and it’s free profit for them
It might be flawed in terms of filtering out the type of person that does not do well in live pairing scenarios.

But I disagree it's _equally_ flawed. The time investment from a candidate is significantly smaller at the cost of more time investment from the employer's side (aka my side). Personally I consider this a reasonable trade-off.
It's possible it's nothing but marketing, but I didn't want to assume that without knowing what I'm talking about

Eh, everybody wants to blame zoning. Yet that ignores the preferences of the population - many people want single family homes with a yard. You can build a bunch of condos and apartments, but it'll will only help until you hit a certain percentage. Nobody wants to build a ton of apartments if their competitors can too, as it would drive down the cost. Even then you run into the preference problem - people want to buy eventually. So yeah, changing zoning can help, but land, especially with specific geographic areas, is still a finite resource in high demand.
the article does specify in the wild, and that it doesn't hold true regarding captivity

We haven't used Chromebooks, sorry. For scanners a number of cheap to pricey ones were tried. On the cheap end I don't have the exact model number but I think it was about $30USD from Netum, as well as using apps in cheaper smart-phones using the built-in camera.

I'd guess it's the scanner though, I don't think those control characters are supposed to be sent.
I don't think it's quite analogous to ransomware insurance because a patent troll incurs its own costs from fighting out a lawsuit in court. So by credibly committing to bitterly fighting out each patent troll lawsuit, it can deter patent trolls from suing its members, and actually lower overall costs. Credible deterrence is important in an iterated game.
>The worst outcome would be one with parts serialization and keys that are controlled by a foreign country.

This is one way how the US keeps its partners in line. Sure they will sell tons of aircraft and destroyers to countries like Saudi Arabia/Israel/etc. Hell they will even give money to these countries to then have it be spent right back to American companies. But the actual maintenance/parts/upgrades are controlled 100% by the US. They force the country to accept that it is better than nothing and at the same time help the US keep a leash on the country purchasing the equipment.

This concept is being expanded even further. At DEFCON in 2019 there was a talk about retrofitting older war tech with DRM and custom parts to better control who can utilize the equipment should it get out of the hands of the "intended customers". For example, in the Soviet war on Afghanistan, one amazing piece of equipment that helped tip the scales of the war in favor of the US backed Mujahideen fighting the Soviets was the Stinger portable missile system. More recently it has been discovered that systems like these are provided under the table to groups that the US wishes to unofficially support but sometimes tend to go missing and end up being used against the US. As a result, there are now efforts to bolt on digital parts serialization + access control modules to prevent "unauthorized" use/track whereabouts. I find the thought of adding DRM to 1980s technology hilariously silly but then I was treated to Single Sign On/DRM being added to DOOM....yes that DOOM, the one from 1993.

My partner does a lot of art and frequently draws in social settings. She finds drawing by herself lonely, isolating, and draining. These sorts of takes incense her as she faces pressure to work alone. The problem with these sorts of theses is that they affirm the experiences of those who agree but do nothing with others. Programmers are more likely than most to prefer solitude, but even that isn't a constant. Extrapolating behavior across humanity from personal anecdotes has never been particularly effective.
That’s interesting threat. I strongly believe in sustainable monetization in open source software. There’s a project called Tea (tea.xyz), a package manager as the evolution of Homebrew.

I honestly believe that understanding the entire dependency graph of open source project will help redistribute money to all packages democratically.

I’m curious to hear what other devs think
"I got me a Chrysler, it's as big as a whale. It's about to set sail."
Compared to committing to a specific hour block of time for a normal interview, isn't it more flexible?

I guess it depends on how the company uses it - if they just stick the take-home in as an extra filter vs trying to replace live interview time
> they will buy all the fab capacity at TSMC

What would motivate TSMC to choose to only have 1 customer?

TSMC is known as "huguo shenshan" or “magic mountain that protects the nation”. What would motivate TSMC to choose to have their geopolitical security represented by only 2 senators?
That comment you link is from 2019, and Google has made many substantial changes to MV3 since in response to the feedback. It obviously still doesn't give as much power as WebRequest API, but they still addressed many complaints and increased a lot of the limits.
It is said Shakespeare wrote in taverns because the lighting was free. The environment didn't matter to him, only the physical ability to read and write. I can't think of a better counterexample for a writer. Do whatever puts words on paper. There is an entire site dedicated to finding what works for you: https://famouswritingroutines.com/
For us and our clients it's the other way around. Slack's threads work, everyone else's threads suck (Teams and Discord included, but Teams is even worse than Discord).
That doesn't seem to make sense. If someone had good skills why wouldn't they just embellish their resume a bit? Also there's still a preliminary phone screen interview before even asking a candidate to complete this.
Of course nothing forces them to be ready within 2 years but alas, that's what Apple said they'd do. I agree the M2 numbers were not amazing. I guess after the big M1 shock it's hard to follow up with something that comes even close. You can't get similar gains like the transition from x86 to an integrated arm based SOC brought, doubly so when there's no substantial process node improvement (N5 -> N5P is a minor optimization). In the end they mostly bought better performance with a bigger die and increased power consumption. I'm pretty convinced they'll need N3 for the next jump but even that wont be on the level of the Intel -> M1 step.

The revolution has happened, now it's all about evolution.

BTW if Apple wants to increase the prices of the Pro macbooks like they did with the M2 Air due to inflation then they better justify it with some good gains. The big changes in terms of hardware redesign already happened last time.
The Waitlist suggested access to this was tied to device identifier.

When I tried today I was not waitlisted, but I also wasn’t challenged to identify myself that I saw. I created my forwarder. I’m puzzled how, if this is connected to my device ID in some way, I will be able to access it on my next device.
I oppose "badly hurting people", and the "comprehensive 2015 survey" mentioned in passing indicates that trans people are being hurt, but clearly Rowling also opposes that: "Like every other domestic abuse and sexual assault survivor I know, I feel nothing but empathy and solidarity with trans women who’ve been abused by men... So I want trans women to be safe." Nothing Rowling has said, or that Forstater or even Berns has said, has "badly hurt" someone in a physical way. One could argue that Berns probably hurt someone's feelings, but that is not important. Feelings aren't important enough to campaign about, aren't important enough to get anybody censored for, and certainly aren't important enough to get anybody fired from any job that isn't directly related to the emotional care of the general public.

In some cases, our political opponents are doing evil. In many cases, including this one, they just have different opinions than we do. "Bigotry" is a real thing that real people have suffered. It isn't the same thing as disagreement, light criticism, or even name-calling. No one mentioned ITT has deprived any trans people of anything. Crying wolf doesn't help those trans people who have suffered actual bigotry. Obviously you realize that.
I think that's very fair, and great advice. We have a strong preference against eslint rules that don't have an auto-fix option.
You can live in any decently big city without a car. I know people who live in LA as such. It's just inconvenient and more expensive.
> If we could trust companies, we could give them our real emails.

I'm assuming you realize that there is more than one company, and that one can trust different companies to different extents. I trust DDG more than I trust most other companies. I trust DDG more than I trust Amazon, and I've given Amazon my email--a decision I sometimes regret!
I used a small Synology NAS from 2012-2019, at which point I replaced it with small linux box because I wanted ZFS. Inability to support ZFS was really the only reason I replaced it; it was still working fine.
Where do you live in the Midwest? If you don't live in a dense city environment, and you don't walk or bike much, it makes sense that you would struggle to understand the problems with cars linked to that lifestyle.
Why does the article describe the difference between 5.8l/h and .072l/4.5h as 50% lower? It looks to me like this ratio is more than 300x.

I (the author of the tweet you referenced) commented on this subject on this thread here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32597340. We didn’t do that, e.g., we actually did not (and do not) censor anything for political purposes, we don’t do any URL-level fact checking, etc.
This might be the first time I've seen "quietly" used in the correct way in a headline.
> one should also keep in mind that people (especially engineers) are extremely biased and tend to drastically overestimate the cost of mistakes.

Perhaps that's true of software engineers but I don't think it's true for Professional Engineers. That's one of the reasons I wouldn't consider most people who call themselves software engineers to be an engineer at all.
I can only speak for the state I live in - Wisconsin.

Abortions are flat out illegal and there is no exception for rape, incest, or the life of the mother.
I mean, if you use all that, sure. I don't do Prime books, the only media I watch on Prime is Legend of Vox Machina, I don't use Prime music, etc. So I'm really just paying $14.99/month for one TV show and faster shipping when I do order a package. I guess that's still not too bad, but it still feels gross that I was tricked into signing up for it, twice.
Pass with Yubikey is great! It’s amazing how much this simple shell script can conveniently do.

You can literary audit this password manager in 30 mins! Thus, I feel it’s more secure than a complex solution like LastPass, since the code is small and a Yubikey touch gives you a chance at one password (with other password managers the whole vault is unlocked and all passwords are at risk and may be extracted at once).

Pass has advantages over other password managers (even though it has some limitations too).
Tangential question - how do I check a list of people who can write to a public GitHub repo and merge a PR? Especially so if said repo is under a personal profile, not an organization.
Something tells me you haven't listened to his show.

I also think Mark's platform is far more guilty for spreading misinformation (including those from government sources) and radicalizing people than Joe Rogan's conversational show featuring a random comedian or scientist.

When you moved into the apartments, did you go and introduce yourselves to your neighbors?
Gyms figured this out long ago and now many require EFT.
Most people already committed to charity - whether centered on humans or animals - are not funding highly effective interventions. Even if you were right that AI research is only as good as the average non-EA-endorsed charity, more attention paid to EA could very easily translate to more value achieved in improving short-term humans and/or animal lives.
Maybe rethink the core idea; why are web pages the valued part?

Maybe instead, we need people to answer questions as real people... and then score/weigh/rank those answers/people.

I just think Google is doing an amazing job for the web, and where it is failing is not with web search, but high quality answers from humans (and not marketing trash which Google is trying to fix this week)
Actually disregard this, I was mistaken.
How would you stop it? Prohibit opaque block box organizations from spending money?

Good luck with that, especially since they’re opaque and black box and all.
> nothing should ever default to opt out

Agreed. Similarly, if DoorDash could stop automatically setting a high tip on all my orders, that'd be great, thanks. I always give a tip, but it's rarely as high as the app auto-suggests, unless I have a tiny order.
Received 5 PRs, awarded the top 3. You can actually see them https://app.algora.io/algora/challenge/pulls/5

We clarified it in our bounty issue that only the best-winning submissions would get the bounty. Other folks have chosen to award all PR submissions regardless of hiring outcome. The format is up to the company hiring.

You're making a great point! It's exactly about what we ask from people who don't get hired.

I think real-world coding, getting reviewed by the CTO / hiring manager and getting compensated beats standardized coding tests & imaginary take-home assignments any time of the day.
I keep everything on my home server: photos, music, home videos, movies, downloaded webpages, ebooks, instruction manuals, etc., all shared out over HTTP. Yacy basically gives me a centralized, private search engine for my house.
Example searches:
"Frigidaire manual"
"living room collection:Photos"
"London Philharmonic Orchestra collection:Music"

Of course, having things in an organized hierarchical file system, with good metadata, helps.
Have you ever looked at the history of Oracle security flaws, as well as their reluctance to improve it? A public resource for this is David Litchfield.
I have never in my life done something you can find on Github and I doubt I ever will. I have worked on plenty of stuff that I can share generic 'war stories' on, stuff you might even have 'used' without knowing but that isn't actually anything I could really "show" to you. Other than said war stories, like 'did you ever ride a train and it was late? Yeah I worked on xyz backend thing which ultimately is involved in getting that info to that info screen at the train station'.

And no I don't think you can put any incentives anywhere to get that code onto a Github repo, nevermind a public one.
What it really comes down to is that you're too weak to be yourself.

This might hurt to hear, but you're a coward if you let gender roles stop you from enjoying something.

I sincerely recommend reading some theory on gender. Gender Trouble by Judith Butler is a surprisingly approachable introduction to the subject, despite not being written as such.
