> The mistake I believe you are making is removing users from the set you accommodate with absolutely no valid reason or gain.

That's a very strange objection. Virtually every online service excludes all customers that don't have a credit card. Many exclude all users that don't have a mobile phone or are unwilling to provide their phone number, even where the service has nothing to do with phones. Simplifying/excluding assumptions about users are ubiquitous on the web (and in society in general) today.

> Hopefully you do not consider it fair to exclude all members of societies that do not use last names as fair?

They're not being excluded, they just have to go through some extra steps, which is already true for many, many people for a near-infinite number of reasons. Those extra steps might involve workarounds like the one I mentioned.

> Instead, add a checkbox for "I do not have a last name"

This isn't feasible because there are hundreds of special cases like that. Forms (and software systems) would balloon in complexity and become utterly unmanageable in the "99% case" if every single possibility was catered to.

Just some examples: There are people who don't have a name at all (yes!). There are people who don't know their date of birth (fairly common actually). Should standard forms have checkboxes for all of these cases?

The map is not the territory. Expecting databases to perfectly model reality is an exercise in futility. It's far better in most cases to make the data fit the model (say, by filling in default or approximate values where the true value isn't known or available) than to relax constraints to the point where they become meaningless just because there is the odd entry that doesn't fit in, while the overwhelming majority of entries do.
Eh, I wouldn’t necessarily correlate university students’ behaviors with those of even a mid-level dev. Their knowledge bases and even opinions and goals are entirely different.

I was certainly a much worse developer in university, and since leaving my desire to self-learn has increased tremendously.

That said, I definitely agree on paid time to learn, I think that’s a core concept that a lot of places lack. And not just for new hires where onboarding is costed in, ongoing learning that is encouraged and paid for is key.

So much to unpack here, surprised the article didn't try to address this: what is the reason for that?

Surely after 8 years this person might have looked back on failed relationships, and tried to understand why they've failed. Is it because of the dating apps, and if so, why precisely? Is it because of the people on dating apps?

I feel like pointing fingers at dating apps in general is just wrong.
I had an instance where I applied to a Fortune 500 company. The minimums were broken out as a survey, and you were automatically (and explicitly) disqualified if you answered "wrong". One of the minimums contradicted the posting, and being honest, I was disqualified.

Months later, after the summer, I got a frenzied email from HR asking me to apply again. Apparently the posting ruled out all the candidates, someone high-up thought for-sure "someone" was qualified.
No, it was features for a P(click|impression) model, which are surprisingly mundane: it is basically impossible to care much either way, let alone be outraged, if you look at the actual features used in these kinds of things and it’s not explicitly your field. It’s not a microphone listening on your smartphone!

You can even read about it in this paper which publicly described the system contemporary to that event: http://www.quinonero.net/Publications/predicting-clicks-face...

If you read it and are still steamed up, well, then you hold that opinion honestly, but I suspect most would be like, “cool story bro”.
It's much more likely it just wasn't something you encountered in your practice and not that reliable sources analyzing American political and financial support for Israel all happen to make up the part Evangelical Americans play. A quick search for e.g lobbying for Israel in the United States brings up credible sources.
E-mail is a reliable transport. Claiming it is not is like claiming that TCP is not a reliable transport, just because extreme packet loss exists, and firewalls can play any games they like. Yes they can, but that does not make TCP an unreliable transport.

One of my clients (where screening CVs was one of my duties) had a different kind of fraud.

On a particular week, we received a lot of CVs for a DevOps position. They shared a few common characteristics: were sent through Indeed, allegedly from Indians who emigrated to the USA, talked about skills and duties but not achievements, and were longer than one would normally write. Additionally, they used too-low-level phrases that one would never use in the CVs, like, e.g. when describing their experience with Ansible, "use the 'file' module to copy files to and from remote systems". I.e. phrases that would appear in a course curriculum, but not in a proper CV.

The final red flag for me was a phrase repeated word for word in two CVs allegedly from different people.

I don't really know how to react properly to this, in order to avoid lawsuits for rejecting candidates based on nationality and other kinds of discrimination (ans I was specifically instructed about discrimination-based lawsuits as a very real risk, something that happened before). So I just told about the problem to the head of HR, marked all CVs received through Indeed on that week as highly suspect (even those that a casual reader would mark as OK), and let him deal with it. I don't know what exactly he did.
You would, and he did.

You name, and explain, what tools you used when submitting an art piece. The general public get to see the "via MidJourney" tagline, and the judges get to have a bit further read of the description of how it was made, during the submission. Nothing here was hidden.

And, if we ignore that this gallery was for digital art, you submitted pencil, then you would say "in pencil", and you would describe the place, and who was present, when you were making your piece.
Of course, but that’s not why I’m swimming nude.

> Always aim for declarative programming

These two are at odds with each other. The more declarative your code is, the deeper your function calls will be. At the extreme case, you will have an DSL-like code that has an intractable stack trace.
As a sender, you should always treat email as case sensitive. As an email host/receiver, you can and probably should chose to be insensitive. But never assume any other host works like that.

> anti-Zionism is conflated with anti-semitism

One reason people say that is perceptions of double standards. They see China get an easier time on their treatment of Uyghurs.

Another reason people say that is because anti-Zionism is demonstrably correlated with anti-semitism. They see photos of someone at an anti-Israel rally giving the roman salute. They see people attacking Jews at random on the street whenever Israel does something shitty. They see a photo of a neo-Nazi group holding up the Palestinian flag in solidarity. They see anti-semitic tropes being shared in online forums that focus on criticism on Zionism and Israel.

A third reason is that anti-"Zionism" is a broad tent with a lot of different opinions, some of which Jewish Israelis view as genocidal in outcome if not in intent.

Of course, that doesn't mean criticism of Israel is automatically anti-semitic. That would be ridiculous, and there isn't really many people who actually say that in earnest.
Yes. In space, aviation, and medical, it is usually someone else that is affected, not the programmer.

Even so, I'd expect an candidate to say something like "this is something I know <some details> but I'd have to look at the docs for in depth information about the detail you're asking". That would convince me that he knows what he's talking about. Googling for every question and then reading back verbatim what's in the docs sounds shady to me.

This is not really the case everywhere. Healthcare and education are not drastically more expensive everywhere in the Western world. In Europe, these things have not increased in price to the same degree as the US and they are definitely more regulated than in the USA.

Housing is probably a special case because it's an investment, and house owners vote and make decisions based on this.

> If you are against this, your views are [...]

You do not get to tell other people what their views are. In the first place, questioning what has in practice meant "buy some tanks and go oppress the natives" is not something spoken of positively for literally any other country doing it. But when it is Israel, pointing out that humans have (and should have) rights somehow means that you hate all Jews. Ridiculous. Rather it is the reverse: Understanding Jews and their historical circumstances should give you a renewed respect for human rights and how important they are.
I don't understand how you came to the conclusion that Israelis are being attacked in this instance.
> Perhaps [...] the problem is you?

Maybe. Just some speculation here, but she might be looking for some kind of perfect man. Lots of people might seem perfect, but being perfect is quite something else. I would think finding a matching personality would be a better aim.

Also, some people are quite suspicious and jealous, which are not attractive traits. The same counts for a certain aggressive attitude, and yes, many women have certain ways of coming accross as aggressive.

Then there is the general issue that many people on dating sites are casual daters and not looking for the same as you. A lot of people that are good at relationships are already in a relationship. The people not being good at them will end up more on a dating site. Just a statistics thing, nothing directly personal.

And something else... How do you recognize your life partner? I knew a friend who told me of a date, and she knew he was the right guy the moment she saw him. They are now together more than 10 years. I don't have that nose and am trying to refine my nose in that regard.

But that's just limiting the scope of development effort on a project to reduce time/cost. It doesn't mean that you believe anything you don't support is impossible to happen.

> We need to help people who are already losing economically, not the opposite.

We could try helping them by pointing out effective strategies and encouraging the ineffective to adopt them?

You can't help someone who is adopting a failing strategy. If you push them ahead, their strategy will pull them behind. Someone who adopts an effective strategy in todays world is basically guaranteed to do well economically. Someone who adopts striking as a strategy is probably flipping a coin as to if they can even hold their wages steady. They've been trying for centuries, it doesn't work. If it worked there'd be evidence of it by now. Saving money and investing, angling to control capital works. The gap between the two strategies is overwhelming.

Anyone who encourages striking as a strategy is undermining the welfare of the poor. It is a destructive strategy that wastes time with huge opportunity costs.

Not all of course, is difficult to translate the word "Queerdenker" to English. I think we can agree that those have a significant overlap with "Reichsbürger", right politics, etc. They are not considered the core of society.
“Fluent” is a strong word. Developers are rarely “fluent” in one language let alone 5.

“Had exposure to” IMO is more accurate here. You don’t need someone who has mastered each and every language in and out. IMO you don’t even need someone to have experienced all of them to be called a generalist.

It’s more about the way they frame a problem and come up with the solution and their ability to pick up key concepts quickly. The specific experience is key to long-term success but that can be taught to someone that is open and eager to learn.
That's very skewed, at the moment yes Chinese people aren't interested in demands, but you can 100% already get a taste that if the ccp doesn't back off / reform certain areas of society people will demand change.
> Most systems in this era of cheap hardware are single user, BUT NOT ALL SYSTEMS

OP quite clearly argues that multi-user systems can still have the old behavior if they so choose with explicit configuration. OP makes an argument about what should be the sensible default in 2022, and who should do explicit configuration.

I think the point that nowadays easy single user linux configuration should be preferred over multi-user configurations is good.

IMO distros could make this easy by turning privileged ports into an (advanced) installation question. Then the clearly single-user-focused distros would default to 80, and the more server-oriented or conservative distros would default to the current behavior, but both could do which ever.

> Start your service on port 8080, for example.

In the era of Let's Encrypt, this is really about 80 and 443. The background for the OP is probably to host "normal" sites on single user hardware.

If you were to give out to non-technical users addresses like "http://example.org:8080" which then transform into "https://example.org:8443", that's just horrible UX. Those kinds of numbers in the URL probably also look to many people like someone is trying to hack them. Furthermore addresses are also communicated word-of-mouth "go to example dot org".

So no, using unprivileged ports is not an actual workaround for the use cases OP is referring to.

Is "activism" against the employer protected under anti-retaliation laws? I thought these laws protected employees for things like reporting workplace discrimination, harassment, being a witness in such an investigation, etc. Can you indulge in activism against your employer and claim that you need to be protected from retaliation if they fire you?
This. And then applicants who tell the reviewers explicitly the information they need using phrases like "this application is innovative because..." tend to be more successful than those who let the reviewer guess.

As is clear in this thread people want bang for their buck. So applications are asked to justify what bang they will provide, and the successful ones tell it.
A good behaving spam filter should either returns 5xx/4xx during an SMTP transactions or send a bounce. Returning 250 and then dropping a message without a bounce is a very bad idea but luckily it is not very common - no known to me opensource MTA does this by default and some make it hard to configure this (mis)behavior even if an administrator wants it.

Unfortunately email is very centralized nowadays and companies known for bad behavior in general (and deleting emails without telling anyone in particular) now control too many mailboxes.
This doesn't sound right to me. As a back-of-the-envelop calculation how much realistically would say the Russian government need? Even if they need in the league of 10,000s annually I think it would be easy for them to source this from a handful of friendly countries in a couple of months.

For example they could set-up a couple of "mining startups" in Dubai, Egypt, Serbia or India. Then buy 1000s of GPUs under the companies name and then put them in a yacht and ship to Moscow.

It's a tough call.

Firstly, all agencies prep their candidates to some extent. They know your stack, they know what skills and experience you're looking for, so they make sure the people they send in match the profile, and you know, just bone up on the important things a bit before the interview.

It's not a stretch to go from that to saying "and they'll ask about X and Y, so make sure you refresh your memory on that".

And then it's not far to outright "here's the list of stuff we know they've asked recently -- do your best!"

The worst offenders would get a grumpy phone call and sit out the next few rounds of recruitment, but ultimately you want the candidates, so ...

Women on dating apps have ample choice and thus try to select for the top 10-20% of men on offer. Exactly the type of men that have plenty of choice themselves. It's a kind of a too good to be true deal. You should assume that the very top of men would normally already be taken. They may not have the right motives to be this available. And even if the motive is genuine, you yourself should be an exceptionally attractive woman yourself, in one way or another.

The other 80% of men are pretty much ignored. As a counter reaction, they deploy a dragnet approach. Spamming many low effort messages as any love is good love.

Painting with a broad brush here, obviously.
Sorry but I just don't buy it. There's no functional difference between swimming in undergarments or swimming nude, so if you choose nude, it's because you don't think it should be stigmatized.

Obesity is to health what nuclear is to the energy debate.

dislikes taxing externalities like sugar

dislikes regulating medicines

dislikes harm reduction strategies for addiction

dislikes wearing masks

really doesnt want to talk about those things that they are obviously and provably on the wrong side of. So they've convinced themselves that their political enemies are all saying "being clinically obese is politically correct" and therefore they can get really upset at them for the problem.

Problem is, this is mostly not true. Their political enemies want to stop bullying, and victim blaming and people having body image issues because they don't look like a airbrushed Barbie doll or GI Joe on steroids. Which is good.

Their take on that, presenting it as a threat to health, is just deflection, and while I'm sure they sucked in a few misinformed but well meaning people at first, it feels more and more desperate, more and more deliberate misdirection as time goes on.

We have the web. We have access to academic journals. If the average software dev chooses to be misinformed on these topics then they're no better than a flat earther.
