But I never said you had to spend all your life on passion projects. How is leet code fair game but asking how they would build something they would to even if they never did or do somehow an indication that I think you are a bad engineer? Because I see today's state of system design question interviewing pretty much like leetcode no (asking this as a faang interviewer)?

Having said that what you said about spending 60 hours at work tells others you will be a much better employee. Which is probably the signal they are looking for?
If only...

But, really, in my dream world, ISPs would also act as registrars for their clients, so, once you pay them you get some automatic domain name, or maybe can pay a bit extra for a permanent one that you can take to the next ISP you sing with.
It is not as old as time. It is a very new phenomenon where both sexes now work towards equal earning power, seek absolute freedom without dependencies while child care is professionally commoditized. At the same time, entertainment is not only plentiful and cheap but typically of higher quality than any marriage can provide beyond honeymoon period. Add on the top of this very extreme cost of divorces (in state of CA it translates to lifetime slavery) and most young people very acutely aware about this as half of themselves comes from divorced families. They innately understand this "love" thing is transient, expensive and very time consuming.
I think I can see that HN is not necessarily the right audience for this article (although sometimes it can be, depends on who's currently on it I guess), but I enjoyed reading it.
And maybe it wouldn't have. But since I don't work for SalesForce's marketing dept, there's no way to tell.

I’m not exactly sure what counts as an e-bike but here in nyc we have people riding vehicles that are significantly heavier than a typical bike, go 20ish miles an hour, and require no peddling in bike lanes. Can’t say I care for that.

In Denver and I question this data as well. It sounds like a nice program but I imagine it subsidized a lot of bikes that are sitting in storage for the majority of their lives.

There should have been more aggressive terms - completely free bikes if you don't have a car or get rid of one. There is no incentive to actually use them with the current strategy.
I think it's being used in the sense of 'the industry' discouraging dissent about the universal applicability of JS application frameworks and SPAs, by trying to convince developers that their experiences with SSR and MPAs are not real, or not relevant. That yes, plain old html and css and vanilla javascript feel like they USED to be good enough, but they're not good enough anymore - for anything. That's the gaslighting bit - when you're instructed to doubt or de-value your own experiences and feelings. It's done on purpose, with intent to control.

Which, along with the author's "you were sold something" angle - seems perfectly appropriate. He's saying you were lied to on purpose, you were told to doubt your own experience. That's gaslighting in this context.
I don't move the First Amendment. If the legislature seriously considers this bill, I'll be seriously alarmed. If it passes both houses and the governor signs it, I will be appalled, and will deeply hope for a swift Supreme Court challenge. My online response will, I trust, not disappoint you. (I won't do much more than that, because I have zero pull in Florida politics.)
This generally seems like good advice, but it does veer occasionally towards suggesting ways to appear good at system design when actually the point of a system design interview is to show the interviewer how good at system design you actually are.

This is an important distinction because it is not necessarily the case that the only way to pass a system design interview is to come across as being brilliant at it. I will happily take on a developer who shows that they have some good system design instincts but lacks a mature approach to engineering decisionmaking (assuming their other interviews show that they seem teachable and they have the other prerequisite skills). Not every developer is going to be a lead system designer. The interview is to help us figure out what kind of developer you are.
> if they wish to "have the kind of relationship their parents had."

Ah yes the average boomer relationship, where two barely compatible people married when they were like 16 because they lived on the same street and then spent their entire life quietly resenting each other (but not quite enough to divorce and/or because they're financially co-dependent) and proceeded to take their problems out on their kids through emotional abuse. Kids who now, surprise surprise, are having all kinds of problems.
It's bad enough with the amount of private data already scraped legally by websites, without sanctioning the removal of privacy.

Honestly the "for the kids" we know is BS, they say it's for the kids, even if they parade a group of well meaning people around bringing an awareness there's a problem (IMO, honestly double or treble the amount of police or IT entity around the world to penetrate the vile pedo groups) - but instead such actions proposed are almost always for other more powerful interests who see a fraction of the web as a major problem for some perceived idea they lose money to this fraction's activities.

The reality is any group up to no good will simply migrate to a protocol that permits sending a file from a usb or other external source, but such file will be encrypted unlike any previous known encryption. Then the same process as the good work done presently will save the kids, agencies will slowly penetrate such groups, discover the encryption and member contacts ...

At the end of day like many here have already said, it's a slippery slope. Some people are happy to use devices they really don't own the content to do as they please, they put up with google running their phone apps ... when I couldn't clear my cheap android phone's disk space of the junk which left no room for anything else, without having to reset, that was the point I gave up on smart phones - it now exists only to take texts and calls and create a wifi hotspot.
Reanimated: Version 3 Released
Registration for my 1999 car was only $70 per year and there were no property taxes. Insurance was a more significant cost and harder to estimate, but still not major.

Regardless, I agree that these expenses add up fast. If I replaced my regular commutes with a $3000 e-bike that lasts 2 years, and I spent $2k per year on Ubers and rentals for various things that require a vehicle, I would come out ahead.
Work I can understand, though I’ve always been a demographic outlier at work and that was never an option whether I think it’s a good idea or not.

Bars, make a little more sense. Bars are designed in a way that you’re in close proximity to other people (often strangers) and also probably a bit more amenable to be friendly with said strangers thanks to alcohol.

But how do you meet your spouse at restaurants? Restaurants aren’t very social places.
Anything that isn't a massive privacy violation/security risk.

So do you think the same people would object to “good Christian values”? Teaching about the “traditional nuclear family”?
This immediately brought to mind the song “Dancing Through Life”, from Wicked.
Yeah the article spends a very long time ranting about... medical insurance as a concept. Which, yeah, there are lots of problems with medical insurance. The doom and gloom and scare words do a lot to mask some of the more interesting points that the author is making, such as the flaws with the risk score system and its enforcement.
That candidate is the best one... the one that can understand and apply any knowledge to resolve the problem in front of him.
Yes, my South Indian co-workers report their satisfaction as I was greatly curious. They are also nicer people, more in control of their emotions, less anxious, than the Americans I've worked with, so perhaps the study being cited in great-grandparent's Psychology Today article is onto something when it suggests that there's something wrong with individualistic societies like American's rather than the more partisan take in the article.
The second guy said that. The first one sounded like he'd prefer you know like, having a normal goddamn conversation. And to be fair, both were asked by a reporter two things, 1) did you give up on dating, and if so, 2) please explain why, so yeah you're misinterpreting a few things here.
Following the links [1] with quotes I've selected, the answers seem to be mainly:

1) You forgot about insurance

2) Your car's value was in 1999 dollars, not 2022 -- $1 in 1999 was worth $1.71 in 2022, so you need to adjust your yearly cost upwards into 2022 dollars

3) You haven't mentioned loan interest, which is additional cost if you financed it, which the average person needs to do

4) If $22K was below average for a new car in 1999, then your yearly cost will be below average as well

So just multiplying by 1.5 for inflation (an estimation) and adding $1,771 insurance brings us to $7,010. With some cost of financing and if it's a little below average to begin with, it seems to be roughly accurate.

Source quotes:

"The average cost of full coverage car insurance in 2022 is $1,771 per year"

"Monthly loan payments for new cars jumped to an average of $700 in the third quarter of 2022, while used vehicle loans averaged $525 per month, according to Experian."

"Registration fees vary from state to state. While some states charge a flat fee for all vehicles, others base the registration cost on age, horsepower or weight of the vehicle. Registration fees in Oregon are the highest in the country, ranging from $268.50 to $636.50 for first time registration. Arizona has the cheapest registration fee of just $8..."

"A car’s depreciation varies widely. In 2021, the average annual cost of depreciation is $3,900, according to AAA."

IME, technologists don't care how old you are. The problem is identifying them and finding groups of them. Not all devs are technologists, and, arguably, not all technologists are even devs.

It comes down to what motivates you.
But then it is sold, so you recoup part of the value.

Also, average new car cost is the wrong metric. One ether has to use average car cost, including used cars, or track ownership costs of a new car excluding any secondary market transactions. E.g. until it is not road worthy anymore.
I wouldn't haste to be so judgmental. Sure, you can say that someone who inquires about how much you earn is a gold digger.

But you can also look at it as a potential co-founder of your startup (we are on HN, so I think this metaphor is not inappropriate). The startup is the family, and the business idea is to raise your children. You both bring something to the table. Just like in a startup some founder bring technical chops and other business acumen, here both partners have something to offer. Capability to provide for the kids is important. If you can't provide, then the startup will end up in failure. Why risk that?
Reminds me of how there was a post on LessWrong some good decade ago, with a chilling premise: we somehow manage to get a safe, trustworthy, correct AI working, and as we fire it up and ask to tell us about our world, it starts talking about things we somehow can't perceive...

Is Google Sheets designed for this sort of usage? I would have been worried about hitting some undisclosed limits with the service.

A single dedicated server is not that big of an expense either. The site probably could even run on a single high end server as it is now? I guess I wouldn't have considered using something like Sheets given that. Neat idea though.
> Google owned (or other) RCS servers

Isn't RCS at this point a propriety Google protocol, not a standard? There aren't any 'or other' servers.
Problem is that people even take these jobs seriously. Starbucks job was something to do part-time for a couple of years while you are in school. Why would you spent time unionizing for that? It's never going to pay enough to live on.
These same people would never object to a teacher talking about a “normal” heterosexual couple.

They don’t just object to teachers talking about their sexuality. They object to admitting that gay people exists - ie a man saying “I went to the movies with my husband”.

> users don't expect binaries to be small

That seems to only be a "modern times" thing.

Prior to that, minimising the size of shipped programs (binaries, images, doc files, etc) has been important part of release management.
I think the explanation is the same as for hitchhiking:

https://freakonomics.com/podcast/where-have-all-the-hitchhik...

It's a multi-step process:

1. Society has some kind of neutral/positive norm like hitchhiking or friendly chats with strangers

2. There are a few high-profile incidents of people abusing this norm. Fearmongering news stories, hurt/anxious people staying inside and venting on the internet, etc.

3. The message goes out: "Responsible people avoid [norm] for the sake of safety"

4. After the message goes out, people respond differently depending on how concerned they are with being prosocial. The people concerned with being prosocial tend to abide by the message and avoid the norm. The people less concerned with being prosocial tend to ignore the warning.

5. The norm is now a little bit riskier, because the people who engage in it are now disproportionately antisocial. This causes the per-capita rate of abuse to rise. Return to step 2.

It's certainly not; see New York passing law after law restricting gun rights after clear Supreme Court rulings. The new trend with state legislatures seems to be to zerg the federal courts with lawsuits while these laws remain in force.
> Right comes from law

Absolutley not true. The law codifies what is already true with respect to rights but the law also fails to codify rights as with womens rights and involuntary servitude, women and black people didn't suddenly gain rights when laws were passed, they've always had those rights except the law and society failed to recognize that until some point. Law or not there are fundamental and inalienable truths from which rights and obligations can be discerned.

> If EU wants open messaging than can be made into a law. It's that simple.

Yes and if EU wants to do any number unfair or dowright evil things they can, it is that simple. What is your point, did I dispute the simplicity?

I was talking about what consumers what and what service is being offered by Apple and the inherent unfairness towards one group of consumers and favoritism towards non-american electronic makers and developers. They claim to be democratic and support equality and fairness under the law and by that claim I can contend they are in the wrong by their own standards.

Any company and consumer would naturally be treated the same if the EU is not a banana republic and as such this affects everyone.

> Whether the app is free or not is irrelevant.

It is abdolutley vital! Commerce and trade can be regulated and taxed by government authorities but a free app is not commerce. This is regulation of speech and interaction between people. If apple at least had ads in iMessage it could be commerce but it isn't. You are throwing away your rights so u can satisfy some rage against a corporation you don't have to interact with.

> It's enough a consideration that it occupies a big percentage of usage share, so having it close presents a moat against communicating with a big chunk of the population (and also restricts those using iOS just one client)

So a big chunk of the population made a choice but the government should prevent them? Very democratic! You can pass laws forcing government services and entities to not use iMessage but even the US isn't banning tiktok outright or forcing them to be compatible with something they control because... you know, of the people, for the people and all that.

> They very well could, if the right conditions applied...

Yes and that is unfair and concerning because in a free society people have liberties that allow them a choice about who they want to interact with.
Agreed, but curious what your ideas would be to solve it?

It would be pretty difficult I think without some mandatory "relationships" education being implemented or something, which is a little too totalitarian for modern democracy I'd think.
Well, as the interviewed you must pick one if the two options without any hint.
I love Parenscript specifically, and in general I love--as the Hylang project puts it--"Lisp lipstick on [language]" projects. I understand the sentiments that Parenscript isn't really Lisp and that "you could just use [real Lisp X]", I do. However, Javascript really did eat the world and sometimes being able to sling it really is essential.

Math envy often means people downplay syntax when discussing programming languages, but the S-expression syntax is why I fell in love with Lisp all over again as a more experienced developer. S-expressions and macro based tooling give me the confidence to refactor in a much more experimental and improvisational manner. I can move logic around or invert the order of calls without having to worry if the change will leave the code in a broken state. Yes, VS and other IDE's offer similar features (especially as they embrace AI) but in my experience they just aren't as powerful, flexible, or--most importantly--reliable as decades old tools that exploits S-expressions.

Parenscript brings this confidence and power to Javascript. And it isn't just syntax. The project goes out of its way to give little "quality of life" semantic boosts like supporting a proper "loop" macro and multiple value return.

I use Parenscript extensively for my hobby projects[^1] and games[^2] and it's been great.

Don't let the slow pace of dev scare you off. It's a cultural difference in the Lisp adjacent communities. There's this radical idea that projects can asymptotically reach "done" because the language is sensibly forward compatible and the projects have clear goals and aren't all agile managed CV-bait nightmares that want to grow into all encompassing "frameworks". At work, I comfortably rely on Common Lisp projects that haven't been touched in more than a decade because they do what they are supposed to regardless of how the calling enviroment around them changes.

The thing that frustrates me is that if you speak out against safetyism, some people will ignore what you're saying and just declare you a safety threat.

It'd be nice if we made more decisions using cost/benefit analysis instead of emotive fearmongering.

I actually think 2001 is a good talking point, because by now there is widespread agreement that it represents a case of fearmongering getting out of control -- with the benefit of hindsight, it's clear that people who e.g. spoke out against TSA excesses were not, in fact, aiding and abetting terrorists. But it seems like analogous arguments "aiding and abetting" arguments are currently being made in a few other domains.
If you can be confident that you can coast your whole life and be well-off, then I have no argument against it.

If you are not confident, or perhaps want to make sure your children have a work ethic that is more likely to give them a good life - then it's a big risk to assume you can chill and all will be fine.
May be we should have inverse of all major actively managed funds. Per Buffet theory, this should always outperform market while not having limitations of passive ETFs and much harder to manipulate.
Three specific demographics prefer the (from the factory) higher ride height of SUVs:

1) Women

2) The elderly

3) The overweight

Women have a say in over 70% of vehicle purchases in the US. So even if the vehicle is for dad, mom (who is 5’4” on average) preferring the higher ride height of the SUV will influence the purchase if she has to drive it occasionally.

The elderly and the fat have a harder time getting in and out of lower-riding cars/hatches. The country is getting both older and fatter at the same time.

These are the driving forces in crossover dominance.
It's definitely a case where being the change you want to see requires an uncommon risk tolerance.

After a while of doing it you realize that the risks aren't the ones you initially thought they were. I've stopped thinking "my life is in your hands stranger" every time someone passes me too closely. But I'm still hyper vigilant about the ones that pull out in front of me, presumably they tuned me out as noise because I present a relatively small image at that angle.

I take longer routes to avoid the risky spots, which is an option I'm lucky to have, and I feel relatively safe.

I'm not trying to encourage you to take my path, just giving some anecdata of what it's like.
