At every company I worked at, each interviewer would have gone through training to do interviews, write feedback, participate in debriefs and actually do those things in a timely fashion. Senior people would have participated/chaired in semi-formal or more-formal hiring committees and helped make hire/no-hire decisions. And the hiring tools we used showed if the candidate has applied earlier for same/different roles, and did interviews and what were the feedback earlier. There would also internal confidential ref-checks based on overlap in candidate's work history with anyone at the company currently. If the candidate was rejected at any stage, the recruiter is informed and they have access to almost all of these data in the same tool. And they are expected to communicate that back to the candidate. And there is a feedback tool for the candidate to rate the whole experience and this feedback is analyzed carefully, and processes tweaked accordingly, especially if the company is growing and expected to continue to grow for a while.

In companies that had to do aggressive cost cutting, the recruiters were the first to be impacted. These roles have had high churn and sufficient training and experience quality monitoring may have suffered during this period. That could be the reason why the certain steps in the process involving recruiters (like communicating back to the rejected candidates) may have suffered w.r.t quality of interactions.
Can you please elaborate on why you consider it corruption?
As someone who also has a lot of experience in this area, I'll say that your comment is a classic example of the tactics that that LEOs use to minimize or defend abuses of power. It's actually a great case study, because it exemplifies the way that abuses of power are adopted structurally at an institutional level, while also drawing the line to how that is internalized and effected in practice by individuals. (This process is a key component of any stable system for abuse; that said, it's rare to see it illustrated so plainly).

> Being in the hospital or at the doctors was an excuse used more than once my companies trying to slow down inquiry into their mistakes. And yes, I think for our use case, it was completely reasonable for us to be able to call the hospital and ask "was so and so admitted last night?", just for us to find out that they were not, and went back home to mom's house to hide under orders from their captain.

Just because it made your job easier doesn't mean that it was legitimate. Constitutional rights, privacy laws, and case law have been created specifically to limit police power. Yes, it would be easier if cops didn't need warrants at all. No, that is not a valid argument for bypassing them.

Similarly - yes, it's common for LEOs to talk to witnesses to try and get them to incriminate themselves, either by engaging them in interactions that don't legally require a Miranda warning or by ignoring Miranda requirements altogether (which happens frequently). That doesn't justify it, either legally or ethically.

> Anyway, with all that said, it seems unlikely these powers are not frequently abused, even if most of the LEO community is just trying to do their job.

The assumption that "most LEOs are just trying to do their job" is itself questionable, given how much documentation there is of systemic abuse of police power. Even if it weren't, that isn't a valid defense when the government has explicitly placed restraints on the ways LEO can do their job (to say nothing of the broader question of the legitimacy of that job in the first place).
> This is why you see 'everyone' build chat from ejabberd. Erlang makes code for this kind of service fairly simple, and hotloading means you can fix bugs without kicking everyone off to restart.

Sadly in practice I saw people avoid hotloading. I saw this behavior with Riak data store, in my company's product and also ejabberd in FreeBSD ports (this one is especially annoying as the port demands uninstalling the package before it even starts building it[1] which is even worse experience than with alternatives). Why almost everyone (from my experience) is doing this?

I kinda do. Safari feels very much like a simplistic browser, but a damn good one, except when it's not. Firefox tried to do a lot, tons of features baked in, Safari outsources a lot to the operating system and as a result the interface and interaction becomes simpler, but less flexible.

The primary reason I don't use it 100%, but 90/10 like you, is due to extensions and those few sites that doesn't work in Firefox.

"Cadillac Desert" is a good read to see how bonkers the water system can be (and was devised to be) in the US West, because it basically tries to turn the desert into a garden. The only problem is that there's just not enough water to do that.

CodeCrafters is a bit light on Elixir support at the moment (only 2/8 challenges support it so far). We're planning on expanding Elixir support soon.

Currently, we're a great fit for Rust / Python / Go - we support a variety of challenges for those, and there's lots of example code from other users to review and learn from.
As far as I know, the basic operating principles behind power looms are quite similar to those of traditional manual looms. There is also far more wider range of automation and tech available
Every successful athletic team makes player scouting and development a core function, not only the elite levels. In the US that means minor league baseball teams, university teams from volleyball and fencing, to football and basketball. Pro cycling teams that pay almost nothing and aren't competitive world wide.. It's not just the elite teams that make this top priority. They ALL know that the most driven talented players they can get at their level is what will make them win.
Thanks. This discussion also triggered me to research some more about this subject. This video also gives a good insight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBU9Luc4NuM
You claimed a few comments up that printing money would cause people "to spend or invest in often unproductive ventures", but based on what you're saying now, it would have the same effect? ie. more savings = more investments are needed to balance them out = more questionable ventures being funded as savers chase ever more questionable ventures for yields.
Sometimes they just aren’t sure, or they have a couple other candidates in the pipe that seem good. I’ve been on the other side where we didn’t hire the person for random reasons that I try to not take it personally. But it is frustrating for candidates for sure.

> There is absolutely no upside to doing a good job, and it takes a lot of time to do so.

I've also learned this the hard way. I've conducted about a 100 interviews in 2 years and didn't get compensated any for it despite being one of the most critical part of the company.

Conducting interviews is also very tiring and time consuming, I'm estimating that two interviews in a day and your day is gone. I also evaluate it 2x more tiring than coding personally.

It wasn't a complete waste of time though, I got a lot of experience from that which will be very valuable in future management positions.

In professional sports there are objective metrics and performances are largely in public. In knowledge work there are no reliable metrics that apply on an individual level and you have to rely on candidates themselves (plus perhaps some unreliable references) to understand work history. It's a fundamentally harder problem.

Thanks, the Slack example is a good one, I just use the electron app now but there is no reason I shouldn't use the PWA.
Photopea, it's a web based photo editor that is really really great. If you install it as a PWA, it works offline. Similarly, excalidraw, monkeytype, google calendar all work offline if you install it as a PWA.

Apart from that, I have youtube music, slack, discord, whatsapp web just for convenience of having it in alt+tab rather than cycle through a thousand tabs (admittedly, this usecase is nullified by tab search)
Almost every place I’ve worked (early at startups later at megacorps) there were never enough recruiting resources. So eventually I just got my own recruiter account on LinkedIn and started using my knowledge of the industry and state of hiring to make my own search queries and reached out directly. I had an incredible conversion rate - the senior person actually hiring saying “hey you look like you could fit in here” was very powerful. It was a hell of a lot of work, but I could fill seats faster than anyone around me with high quality people and my projects landed successfully. At a certain point I became too senior for that as my direct teams became smaller and more senior, and I’ve never been able to convince a single other manager to do it. Not a single person. I’ve since switched back to IC at a super senior level so am even further removed from direct recruiting, but I can see even more broadly. All I see now is engineering managers whining about recruiting, and I’ve still yet to see another manager take direct control of their recruiting. Why? The only thing I can guess is they don’t actually care about being successful at what they’re doing, they just care about successfully doing what they were hired to do, which doesn’t include recruiting.
>Isn't that just quantitative easing/tightening by another name? During good times you're taking gold out of circulation to build reserves, and during bad times you're releasing gold out of reserves to stimulate the economy.

Yes, exactly. But in this scenario the gold's being taken out of circulation by taxation rather than by inflation, which makes it more visible and constrained. Similarly the release is constrained by the amount of physical gold reserves, so you couldn't realistically have e.g. a few years of 100%+ inflation rates. And the process of transferring the wealth is less lossy; 100% goes to the government, none to intermediaries in the financial system.

>The above example involves US states, which can't print their own money.

They can't, but they can try to get the federal government, which can, to bail them out.
It does both, actually!
It was interesting to me to learn that big companies deliberately train their speech recognition on different accents. Even for something like the "OK google" wake word, they have a feature for Japanese speakers who can say "Oke Googuru" because they don't have the same L/R sounds. https://www.wikihow.com/Say-Okay-Google-in-Japanese

> into ad hominem and straw man attacks. That’s one of the worst part about this industry: people’s inability to debate and discuss

Let's see here:

> You have experienced what happens when web developers cosplay as software architects.

> That is, you experienced an average team doing average work misguided by average bad advice. It says absolutely nothing about software design. It only speaks to the fat part of the bell curve doing what it always does.

> because, unlike them, I have significant material experience in both camps.

> It’s hard to imagine worse advice.

> Just read the author’s bio. This is a person that appears to have zero software design experience writing an article telling you to ignore software design and just respect your team configuration. I call this Conway’s Confusion.

That sets a good friendly tone huh? If you can't take push back, don't be an arse to begin with.

> And which part, specifically sounds incompetent? I’m happy to discuss that.

Your arrogance precludes a fruitful discussion. But I believe that this needs to be called out, if nothing else to nudge other people to also do it when they see it, or to, albeit much less likely, nudge you towards eating some humble pie.
It is very interesting to prove whether or not it was a state actor! Surely you can see that that mystery is interesting to many people.

> State law gave us authority to request pharmacy records, i.e. prescriptions and pickup logs, without a warrant.

This is good to know.

It is proposed that this arrangement be modified to require a warrant.

Although I am comfortable accepting that your agency demonstrates the integrity you indicate, there are ~18k other law enforcement agencies in the US. A not insignificant number have long and well-documented histories of excessive and inappropriate record access. (And many, many other LEA have similar histories, even if they don't overreach as often.)

A warrant provides some judicial oversight. When accessing our private and confidential information, this is the reasonable default.

again, hearing nothing is not the issue. I still think these companies should send you a canned automatic response, but it's about relationships, and the degree of personalized communication needs to match this.
People not responding to cold calls isn't ghosting, though. Ghosting happens when there's an established communication that gets dropped without explanation. A cold call is not an established communication, it's a solicitation to establish communication.
Really funny to reflexively insist Asian people are anti-Black in a way that makes it clear you're probably extremely racist.
I don't see the distinction. Tons of popular PyTorch projects run hand made CUDA kernels, whether through a library or one written themselves.

In some cases one can replace rocm/openvino incompatible libraries with pure PyTorch, but the performance hit is often severe, and not many inference projects are using torch.compile or triton kernels to compensate.
I agree it is much harder, but no less important. Engineering orgs at most companies are no where close to even being good at identifying success or talent in their existing employees.

I guess what I’m trying to say is, in order to define “too late” we need to define an objective and then figure out if we’ve passed the point where it is possible.

From the outside it looks like the Gentoo community is happy and stable being small. And that’s good.

I’m not sure Google copying some of their software and putting it on Chromebooks is a huge win for the community, although I bet some of the Gentoo devs are proud.
There is a filter list for ublock origin that bypasses such things (and cookie consent popups).

That’s not “working out of the box”, but leads to a much less broken experience than chrome (especially with the manifest v3 BS).
I think at least half of the responses here just don't understand what ghosting is. Which means they've probably never been ghosted - good for them!
Making a website less accessible doesn't make any sense. You've given an example of apps like before and you've yet to substantiate any points you made, maybe bank logins have a reason to be secure but that forum you go to doesn't, and wouldn't do this.

If they wanted to make it less accessible they could easily do that by forcing you to use newer browser versions which some boilerplate sites with frameworks do, from lack of expertise. No "safety" required. I'm not going off feeling, I'm going off facts. It will NEVER happen.
This is genius tbh

Manifest v3 does not ban adblockers, nor does the Chrome web store
Chromium !== Chrome.
People who use Chrome, or any Chrome-based browser, are inherently self-destructive and greatly confused.

Chrome, and Chrome-based browsers, perform worse, are buggier on; especially on non-Nvidia drivers and especially on OSes other than Windows Have what is considered an ideal AMD+AMD Linux box? Chrome, nor any Chrome-based browser, is for you. For extra irony: Chrome on Android and Android Webview sucks on any Qualcomm-based phone. Firefox? Smooth, high performance, nearly bug-free.

A lot of the sibling comments here tell insane stories like "I use Chrome because I once used a broken website." Fine, if a website goes out of its way to write HTML, CSS, or JS that is so non-standard and broken that it can't work on Firefox, then use Chrome for that website specifically; use Firefox for all the websites that actually are spec-compliant.

Side rant: I don't even know how webdevs are getting this wrong. There aren't webdevs in the traditional sense anymore, just a bunch of kids that are using whatever popular bullshit framework is out today, banging out some flavorless souless crap so they can collect a paycheck like the rest of us. Like, they're using React + one of the popular React UI things (Next or MUI or whater), or they're using Tailwind + something for the JS, or any one of the popular combinations... guess what? THEY ALL WORK ON FIREFOX 100% OUT OF THE BOX.

How are you screwing this up?! The work is already done for you! Stop going out of your way to break it!
Nuclear contamination can be rehabilitated. In fact, in 2022 all of the Fukushima exclusion zone was lifted as cleanup was completed. Chernobyl wasn't rehabilitated because Pripyat's sole reason for existing was to support the nuclear plant. So rehabilitation would be a waste of money.

I feel like it doesn't matter how many examples of Firefox not working properly you are faced with, you will simply respond "well that's not Mozilla's fault, that on the website developer" for each and every one. At the end of the day it's the Firefox user who is faced with the problem.
>If you think that the emphasis of the name "natural gas" over other just "gas" or other common terms for it isn't intentional, then you are quite naive.

Assumption about my personality doesn’t make your statement right or make sense. Of course it was intentional, just not the way you suggest here. The name “natural gas” exists in many languages, literally means “coming from nature” and is being used for centuries. Major suppliers outside USA use this name in contracts etc. Nobody is going to rename it just because American education system is so bad that people are getting confused.

>Education does not change how these sorts of tricks affect our brains. Research has shown that using the term "Natural Gas" creates false impressions of the its environmental impact.
