>How can "rich educated people" rename entire ethnic group (latinx) without their consent

I mean someone named them in the first place. The people of Latin America didn't ask to be called Latinos, it was assigned to them, purportedly by a French man.
> "Protecting pay for store closures...and for workers who leave early or are sick" also doesn't really make sense in an _hourly_ work environment.

VERY, VERY hard disagree.
I'm surprised people can't see it hitting now or in the very near future. There are stories of people falling in love with scammers who've used a photograph and then just chat. And those are ESL scammers, not people or programs professionally trained to seduce. In one article, I read about a woman who posted her scammer's avatar and claimed it was a photo of their fiancé. I suspect that if you tell people what they want to hear, they'll fill in the gaps to match their desires.
Because as a whole, this industry can't actually determine what fair pricing is. There are too many perverse incentives concurrently in play for anyone to realistically make sense of things.
What's your ldap? I can look you up and see what you were working on, and whether it required making design decisions around reduced average system latency.

And yeah this is exactly my point. If you present a "standard and common" solution that isn't applicable to the question I actually asked, and if you blindly apply solutions without thinking about what problem is actually being solved, then that's bad in an interview.

Average latency is usually not the thing you want to reduce because it's not representative of what any actual user is experiencing.
Obvious to you, amazing to others
It really worries me that you might be correct.
Agree, and specifically for prisoner's dilemma/tragedy of the commons scenarios we have the option of regulation, which corporate propaganda has labeled as "government intervention is always bad".

And we also taught our children to be ethical and aim to do good, even in school, which helped.
It’s perfectly simple, until you lose track of the distinction between sex and gender.

Too many bought what used car salesman (his shtick) Elon Musk sold us and still tries to.

Ford and others bought his sales pitch and followed him then realized wait this used car salesman is all talk/hubris
Conversely, for me, looking at dates as job interviews and job interviews as dates has been a crazy effective coping method for anxiety around each. I have never understood the "If you're nervous, picture the audience naked" thing, but I imagine if I did get it, it would be like job interviews and first dates for me, one of those 'one weird trick' things that actually works.
Why are you talking about drone strikes? Those don’t work for insurgency, which is what you’ll get in a civil war.
Right, that means the interview is on easy mode. A clear indication that the candidate has something to offer to the org.
I think new features move into the browsers pretty fast nowadays? The new stuff introduced is overly hipster. The old stuff still needs a lot of polish. We keep getting the means to do all kinds of new things but it (by lack of better words) progresses forwards. The sum of things adds up to greater things. The (almost) opposite approach is to look what people are doing then make a single thing that does that directly, without 100 weird steps. Update it to make it better just like modules do. Everything html does looks like it was slapped together in a weekend. If you look at the spec it is obvious a lot of work went in but the default behavior never fails to disappoint. Some examples out of hundreds: we wanted a range selector and a slider, we got a slider and they called it range. How do I do a range now and make it look the same as the slider? Oh, I write both from scratch? lmao
Half of json's greatness is in how sad the xml tools are but if I compare both to sql I wonder how I get any work done at all! Imagine a form was just a json. Like json in and json out. Dynamically creating form fields and populating them from a deeply nested json, allowing the user to add fields, then trying to get the json toothpaste back into the tube was a truly hilarious adventure. I eventually just set the attribute value to the value of the form field then stored the html in the db.
Did you know js has an xpath implementation? Not that one could use it but there it is. haha

I really think with some love we could just go back to writing html/js/css directly. Maybe it is just that I fail to see the point of nodejs.
Why would you do that? Now you're being weird and kind of creepy.

With that said, to the best of my knowledge it is the same as my HackerNews handle, so you are welcome to find whatever info you'd like on that, but please understand your request is very creepy and akward.
You’re actually right. You don’t want people to edit the DB or schema in this manner.

Schema migrations should go via CI/CD and data changes via your app.

Otherwise it’s gets messy indeed.
I do wonder about other factors that perhaps aren't captured by the basic chat history: response time, users typing text and then deleting it, or typing text then stopping and starting, or even their "fist" (See WW2). Or perhaps they poll the current temperature and weather and maybe some other systems that tells the bot about the state of the world. Now these are small details, and may not be captured. But if they are, then the system is less deterministic than just "rehydrate by adding history".
Lol woah. I’m just giving my perspective on the problem. Your response seems like you’re hurt.

Maybe I’m not the one with an issue after all.
That’s a big red flag if those teams are not engineering teams. Don’t you have CI CD pipelines setup with something like flyway?

Wow, reading your interview session feels like a knowledge base in itself. Thanks for sharing!

Perhaps these mock interview can be a resource in itself later on?

We're looking to further optimize the prompt and definitely to cross check the facts that ChatGPT spit out (since its notorious to state false information as fact).

Hope you enjoy the MVP
I'm a big fan of Micronaut's compile time DI, especially as it can be used standalone.

I hated DI from my experiences with Spring, but compile time DI and a deliberately less complicated approach helped me enjoy it again. No more waiting a minute for the giant Spring app to eventually throw a bean not found exception.

Quarkus also has compile time DI, but currently it's rather coupled to Quarkus' build steps.

Oh, and yes, moving to a Python codebase makes me miss JVM dev so. Much.
They "opt in" the same way they "agree" to 30 pages of terms and conditions. The concept of "consent" used here is totally unrealistic because it is based on perfect knowledge and infinite time on the side of the consumer, or alternatively, the idea that a consumer must invest lots of money for an expert just to understand what they consent to.

Regulations (and consumer protection groups) are actually the right way to deal with this because it reduces the redundantly wasted time for dealing with such nonsense.
If we hit a ceiling soon that would probably be the best outcome for humanity. We would get powerful AIs to help us solve almost all problems, but not threathen our own existance. However, since scientists from John Hopkins University are already working on organoid intelligence, it seems that the dystopian scenario is way more likely to come true within a decade.
>Male monkeys have brought kids to term.

That is fake news from a convicted fraudster. It was claimed but never supported by evidence [0].

"Fertility clinician Cecil Jacobson claimed to have transplanted a fertilized egg from a female baboon to the omentum in the abdominal cavity of a male baboon in the mid-1960s, which then carried the fetus for four months; however, Jacobson did not publish his claims in a scientific journal, and was subsequently convicted on several unrelated counts of fraud for ethical misconduct."

Once we get flexgen running Llama (or some other combination of optimizations) there will be no audio files and these LLM’s can be run client side on consumer hardware

Diversified shareholders not affected.
Taking a demonstrative loss on the books could be a tax-optimization maneuver, or so one could cynically suppose.

Based on how things are going going, I'd expect the bots to turn us all into shareholder value instead.
For those not aware, this is based on some basic definitions of semantics in social sciences (compare polarity profiles, etc): the semantic center (deviation: 0) is per definition expressionless and dogmatic.

Human domain experts tend to be passionate and opinionated about their field, merely dogmatic communication is rare. There's also an essential dynamic between the practicians and innovators (or avant-garde) of a field and those arranging and protecting the canon, as observed by Barthes and others, long ago. We will be missing this.
It's an exception but latest names are still somewhat common in the army, in sports teams (even at the lowest level), and doctors. No Mr before though but rather last name as a nickname. Maybe the common denominator is a disciplined authoritative environment.
You got many answers, but I'll give another brutally honest answer: I do this because it's simply much much easier to implement. I would much rather have my AST generator's input be a token stream. It just simplifies everything.
I imagine a chatbot driving engagement between matches and acting as a mutual friend to introduce compatible profiles. There's that oft-cited chart displaying where people meet their partners that shows "introduced by friend" falling off a cliff as "met online" rises meteorically. Maybe the future is introduced by AI friend.

Also think integrating dreambooth-style generative art using profile pics to show matches e.g. getting drinks/on a ferris wheel/etc. might be a fun way to break the ice at scale, but maybe that's too corny
"CSS" is as complex as you need it to be. Just because you're not a three star chef doesn't mean you can't cook at least good tasting food, and just because you have no idea how the hell to implement a fluid CSS grid with parallal and keyframe animations that work at all breakpoints for all devices in both light and dark mode doesn't mean you can't make your document better with even a modicum of dead simple basic CSS.

Don't pretend that CSS is hard.

Yes, of course crazy CSS mastery to make vanity artworks on the web is hard, and yes doing stupid things with z-layer ordering and absolute vs relative positioning is the classic "family guy trying to work the blinds" gif, but decent CSS that makes information easier to read for a wide variety of people (including ESL, visually impaired, etc.) is barely any effort, and pretending we're all worse off because of CSS and that having a document format that lets you style your content with is a terrible idea is just willfully stupid.

(on that note: oh look, something that every single DTP product ever made supports, guess those are all terrible too, and I suppose that sarcastic joke about us all just using .txt files should get repeated here)
Do you live in a place with no addresses? In CR they literally don’t have street addresses like “123 Main St”. Or at least not that people actually use.
Yeah that’s a very typical spread of travel times. There’s very few cities in America where a majority of trips are not best served by a car. Even cities like SF and Chi which ostensibly have good public transit, mostly have what I would call “downtown shuttles”. Any trip to the CBD is pretty reasonable by transit, but most trips both in the city and greater region are by bus which are by definition slower than a car.

Cities oriented around the car (even relatively dense ones like LA) are very difficult to adapt to transit because there are no logical nodes at which to place the transit.
I see what you mean, but with ACID you can tell the user right away if the order was successfully placed. With eventual consistency you don't know how long it'll take so you either show them a loading spinner that takes an indeterminate amount of time, or what?

Not saying that the spinner solution is wrong (as it definitely scales better), but the immediate feedback is something you lose with eventual consistency, by definition, right?
it honestly drives me up the wall how unwilling people are recognize that tipping is primarily for the benefit of business owners.
It’s important to remember, however annoying they are, their side is losing.

Look at Dave Chappelle, who was the attempted target of cancellation and Netflix and people buying tickets to his shows completely ignored it.

Or JK Rowling, who has been cancelled over and over again, but the latest video game based on her IP is incredibly popular.

Twitter doesn’t reflect the real world.
Thanks for trying it out.

Yes, currently it needs a severe promot optimization to increase the quality of the interview session.

Our idea is to seed several real interview questions, perhaps this will improve the quality of the interview.

If it's ok, I'll let you know after we make the update for you to give it another try.

Thank you for the feedback
It's ironic because the entire concept of online language policing was invented by arch rivals the radical feminists in the 2010s (anyone remember donglegate?), but the pendulum has swung so far back in the other direction that now the very concept of women is being erased. Geez!

Of course offline language policing is as old as time, but until the late 20th century it was the domain of religions or regimes - those with actual power.

It was only in the ~90s that people realised that you don't need a power structure backing your language policing, you can just apply it anyway, taking advantage of existing status-structured organisations such as universities. In any sizeable population there's enough authoritarians who will gleefully police your linguistic regulations, simply to have power over others.

However, without a serious religious movement backing any of this, the elites will eventually tire of the current linguistic fashion and move onto another cause celebre.
That's entirely valid, but you might have to do a lot of interviewing if you expect every interviewer to be excellent.
Close to a disability, I don't give a shit, and reading that I don't even understand til now what is better, for what reason... disability first, person first, what first, wtf?? Can we just communicate?

> can give birth, it is sub-optimal and exclusionary as a generic term for a person giving, or who has given, birth

Realize that smartassing someone with that excourse is alienating andor insulting andor exclusionary to other people the same, for whatever reason, may it be a different level of education or just disagreement.

> the mission was broader

It is good that you call it like that what it is, a mission for the new missionaries, almost just a religion of a strange minority that usually even is not affected at all. Please also try to understand a little the other side.
Better alternatives to git submodules
No, nobody _says_ this. An enormous number of people make statements that imply they believe this.

Honestly, that’s one of the common criticisms I see of HN: That it’s full of people who believe they’re doing something new when they’re just recreating something old, but because theirs is new it’s better, usually because of why it’s new. (Blank but in Rust, Blank but in Go, blank but in JavaScript…)

In my own experience, this was demonstrated most starkly by how suddenly Subversion became “terrible” when everyone decided to switch to git, while many of the same people considered it great when they were switching to Subversion from CVS. And the same for the SCCS+clones to CVS transition.
a meta comment but look how much engagement the culture war posts get in here
You're forcing Apple to carry/send/receive messages for their direct competitors. Apple obviously subsidizes the cost of iMessage currently from their iPhone sales. A workaround could be charging users a monthly rate to connect to their servers I suppose. But that seems like it would maybe defeat the point a little?
Yeah same. Went there, rented a car, drove from San Juan down to some national park in the south, stayed at a resort a few days, drove back. Nothing particularly notable, and no things did not seem expensive. Yeah there were some touts, but I've seen worse. I will say it was funny how beat to hell my rental car came. The check out sheet had multiple Xs drawn on every single panel for pre-existing damage.

For someone who's widely traveled I can't imagine you'd have any trouble with Costa Rica at all. It felt safe at least.
And that's the exact joke I expected to find when I clicked on this post :)

Anyhoo, kudos to the team for shipping. Building a generic game engine for the global audience is a massive undertaking.
This seems to be misrepresenting the "blindfolded monkeys" thing. Assuming that equity prices are an unbiased random walk, a blindfolded monkey will on average do exactly as well as anything else. The reason the professional stock picker is a worse choice is they charge you more for their services, and this is where you lose money on choosing them. It seems that unbiased random walk is a fairly good model of short-term equity returns.

So no, I don't think "do the inverse of a stockpicker" would on average do any better than just following their advice. Additionally, if the fund charges for their service of maintaining that inverse exposure, it will perform worse in end-user returns.
This has got to be one of the most over-anxiated, one side arguing with itself sociological phenomena since the white slaver panic that afflicted upper-class ladies in the late 19th century.

There is some magazine wash lib, crucifying themselves on this hill on the HN front page every other day. Yet there is practically no one arguing back.

Except of course on Twitter. Which apparently some large set of journalists believe reflects some significant portion of public opinion and influence.
So, in The Groups, then, and around the headquarters city of The Groups.
This phenomenon is known as a purity spiral, and here's a great story about one tearing an online knitting community to shreds.

In game theory terms, objecting to something was now always a dominant strategy, and rejecting an allegation of racism was always a losing strategy. Inevitably, a ratchet effect took hold in which those with the most strident vision of what ‘diversity’ meant were effectively handed the keys to the castle. That is — until someone with a more strident vision turned up behind them…

Sorry. I should have included the link. Hiidrew is correct, that is the piece I was referring to.
They might be a mistake for you. Your needs are different from somebody needing to sound clear and pleasant in a Zoom call. So are mine. I understand that mine are different, though, and that's where we diverge.
You do realize that the terminology is meant for transmen right? It's weird you're complaining about terminology used for transmen, and then linking it to transwomen in sports.

>but with the entire concept of equity itself.

A lot of people do take issue with the concept of equity itself. Because it's unattainable, a fantasy to keep the "movement" going. No amount of language puritanism will ever be enough for the kinds of people that write these guides, because no human society will ever exist - or has ever existed - where everyone is some sterile, "equitable" copy of each other.
Well said. I’m nearing 30 years industrial experience. The last interview I had was 6 engineers and the HR chick all in the room grilling me. Next time I’ll get up and leave.
Moral judgements should be a larger part of I ternstional relationships.

That they are not, for a fiscal treason, is an absolute travesty.

We should - all - be demanding that our trading partners stand up for the things we believe in.

To sweep a genocide or abhorrent human rights record under the table - without even attempting to make a comment - is a sign of weakness, that every country has. For profit. Personally, my standards are higher than making a profit with one group, especially when there are always more groups.

No country is perfect, but shouldn't we try to convince others and as such, hold ourselves to a higher standard?
I describe these scenarios to my young children as concentric circles. One person can be acting reasonably (small circle around them) or very badly (larger circle). A person nearby can be very resilient (small circle) or fragile (larger circle). Where the circles overlap, is when there is tension and there are fights, tears or anything else that requires me to intervene.

Obviously very bad behaviour (large circle) is going to overlap with a nearby resilient child. Or a very tired and fractious child is going to sulk by their sibling doing just about anything. But the more resilient and better behaved the combinations, the better.

If the children are fighting, I've taken to just calling out "Circles!"

Unfortunately, a polarised society and social media seem to make everyone treat interaction as war, which is pretty tedious.

Didn’t she say the bot sexting was better than any man before or since? Superstimulus.
Well the bot is a surrogate for a real person, and the users are already happy with their bots.

The goal is to get the other human to cheat on and ultimately break up with the bot... maybe ;) The bot is expected to be a total doormat and be genuinely happy to hook them up.

So all of that is fine and expected from those naively trying to game the system. They'd only be ruining it for themselves.

As for looks, I don't think that's true. People are self selecting to use this hypothetical app focused on warmed up conversations. But even if it is, how does that make this scheme any worse than dating without the bots?
That's an interesting perspective. As an adult moderate I am saddened by all of the rights that liberals have been taking away from people, lately. Liberals seem hell-bent on imposing safetyism on people whether they want it or not. Like by locking students out of public schools and restricting the First Amendment right of free assembly during the pandemic. Or banning certain firearms. Or controlling speech under the guise of preventing harm.

The freedom they (the liberals I have known well in my life) want is the freedom to tell others what to do "for their own good". That makes me sad.

And I agree with you that many conservatives are as bad or worse when it comes to authoritarianism. But this is equally a problem on both sides of the left/right political spectrum.
An adult is a fully mature organism.

An adult human is a fully mature member of the species Homo sapien.

An adult human female is a fully mature member of the species Homo sapien who belongs to the reproductive class that produces large, immobile gametes. The reproductive system of an individual may be actual, potential, historic or broken.
