I understand it they incorporate foreign words by matching up with Chinese characters bearing the matching syllables with some preference for preserving semantics, repetition, and an implied semantic anyway that is in the consciousness of the reader for either the native or foreign word: it must matter that a person’s name is spelled “stream creek creek” but in the end it is best kept in 中文.

I’ve never understood the idea that employers like Walmart are “abusing the system” or “welfare queens”. If Walmart employees were capable of getting jobs that paid enough that they weren’t eligible for public assistance, they wouldn’t work for Walmart. Conversely, if Walmart didn’t employ those people, they would be an even greater burden on the welfare state.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I'm going interpret that as a soft yes with reservation since you seem to be extremely knowledgeable in this specialist area and additionally state that you are doing 'very bespoke' work within that. Interesting stuff, great to hear from someone with such knowledge. I suppose Starlink/SpaceX people are NDA'd to the point they can't comment, maybe we'll hear from them in future. FWIW internally we've achieved autonomous cable production ex termination (length, strip and cut including measured splice-points - rarely used), and custom bus bars which I guess are a nominal harness in a sense. Anything more complex we need pre-terminated still gets sent out.

You're right, so if the puzzle restricts one (arbitrarily) to geodesics as the only valid straight-lined curve (?), it becomes nonsense because the only easterly geodesic is at the equator, and seattle is not at the equator.
> never thought about obedience in any aspect.

What demonstrates obedience more than having to solve a problem against the expectations of someone holding something of value over your head? "If you don't do as we say in the way we tell you to say it, you don't get this <thing>." No matter you may have a different perspective on solving the problem, even going so far as to dismiss it outright, it's all about the rubric. No subtlety, no interpretation allowed. Make it easier for your interviewer masters.

Maybe the clock with the myriads of hands rotations is view as a whole ? All the possibles states of this clock would be seen simultaneously ? But this clock is itself made up of many parts, which are in turn composed of atoms, subatomic particles, etc. The set of all possible states of the clock also includes the set of states occupied by the different parts of the clock (down to the subatomic level) over time, before and after the clock is made and then disintegrates. The clock is, in fact, just one state among many of the atoms that make it up. These atoms were scattered before being assembled into a clock, and they will be scattered again when the clock is destroyed. So, we are not really talking about a clock, but rather a set of atoms that may have occupied very different positions in the universe, and whose supposed unity exists only transiently when a human being looks at this clock. In a certain way, considering the clock as outside of time almost turns it into a non-being, or at least a diaphanous and ephemeral being, lost in a cloud of particles randomly distributed throughout the universe.

Thanks. By your link we have a 47TW of annual heat loss from the Earth due to the surface heat flux, that makes 92 KW/Km² annual (Earth is 510M km² [148.9M km² of land]).

If the thermal diffusivity can not feed a tinny surface hole more than 20-30 years after extracting just around 3-10 MW, where the sun is supposed to replenish the heat on summer also, what makes the scientific community to have faith the slowness in such thermal diffusivity will not bring consequences? Did anyone study it?

> it said "You will travel across North America, and onto the Atlantic Ocean. Eventually, you will hit another country."

Yes, but it didn't say that country would be the first one you would hit. Of course the intended answer of the article was that you would travel along a great circle and would not hit Canada prior to hitting the Atlantic Ocean. But when the article talked about France, it was assuming that you were thinking of traveling along a curve of constant latitude instead. And if you do that, as I said, you will hit Canada before you hit the Atlantic Ocean. And if the author of the article is going to be pedantic enough to say the reader should have thought of great circles, I'm going to turn that right back on him and say he should have thought of Canada when talking about a curve of constant latitude, and should have recognized that his wording is perfectly consistent with that answer.

What about inference?
If you still need to use for loops on a regular basis then there's something wrong with your chosen programming language. The rest of us have moved on to languages with higher level constructs that eliminate the need for explicit iteration.

I'm being a bit facetious of course. For loops (or the equivalent) are still needed in low-level code. But lately I'm very reluctant to use them as there's usually a better design if you step back and think about the problem a little.

When bootcamps were first becoming popular, I started inviting graduates of a nearby bootcamp to interview.

The first candidate had a few small but impressive sample projects in their GitHub, including some API development and other things that surprised me for someone with under a year of experience. I was impressed!

Then the second one came in, who also had a GitHub portfolio with the same sample projects and the same API design (with minor differences). I felt dumb when I realized that those sample "side projects" were actually something that the bootcamp trained them to develop and put into their GitHub profiles. Obvious in hindsight, but remember this was when bootcamps were supposed to be the next educational revolution and everyone was on the "college bad" train.

In a different interview, I mentioned one of my hobbies. The candidate boldly explained that he wrote a certain package for the programming language we used. I asked some more questions before realizing he was literally describing a project I had published! He immediately changed his story and claimed to have misspoken when he realized that we were on to something.

These aren't equivalent to your story, obviously. However, these are some of the reasons why interviewers still want candidates to go through the standardized testing that every candidate receives.

Comparing candidates on equal testing is also pushed very hard on us by HR. If you start judging different candidates based on entirely different standards, people get extremely fussy

When I spend an hour at an interview, someone at the company spends an hour at an interview. So they've got every reason to read my damn resume first and not waste both of our time.

A take-home test, though? They can waste 3 hours of my time to save 5 minutes of their time. Send me a take-home test, I spend a few hours and pass it with flying colours, then they reject me for being "too expensive".

No thanks.

The tech community is inherently cynical, not because we dwell in basements and fear sunlight, but because we've been around long enough to see the corruptive effects of the big business side of tech.

The article is well balanced and in my opinion doesn't exhibit a sense of bias. It's clear you're not alone in noticing the dots on the graph are forming a line.

Some may say that merely shining a light on the topic, rather than something more virtuous, is a form of bias. I tend to disagree with those assessments due to the aforementioned reasons.

We're all adults, we can hold a complex view of Sam Altman. It's not about putting him in a good or bad box, but being aware that he does have financial ties to all of this (avoidable or otherwise) and that is the lens we may need to evaluate some of his decisions by.

The whole meme of “coding interviews” can illuminate how a person thinks is based on an entirely false theory of mind.

When people are experienced in a particular skill, they often have reduced inner voice and experience inner quiet as the work just comes to them. Asking people in these circumstances to vocalize their thought process is to take people out of flow conditions into hyper conscious states and perform a metacognitive task, reducing their ability to focus cognitively.

When you ask someone to do something they’ve never done in an interview before, you’re creating a contrived environment that doesn’t exist at all on the job. When I’m creatively working through a problem I often take big breaks after framing the problem so my subconscious can work on it. I often solve hard problems from the prior day first thing in the morning, often with the solution immediately on my mind as I awaken. You can’t do that in a coding interview: if someone doesn’t have the answer in mind readily it’s unlikely the pressured environment is going to encourage its production.

> The interviewers had zero interest

I used to think the same when I started interviewing. Now I'm into the hundreds, and in my experience, that is the correct approach for a peripheral interviewer (not the direct hiring manager), and it's for your benefit.

We have 45 minutes to prove to ourselves, and our managers, and their managers, that you are the right hire. No "feelings" or "hunches" allowed: clear tangible demonstration of competence for the requirements listed, that everyone can read, and be convinced. Where I am, unsure terms like "team fit", "feel" and "think" will get your feedback rejected.

If I spend 30 minutes going over what you did, there are two problems:

1. Figuring out if they actually did the work, or maybe played some small part in a team, takes considerable time. It's not easy, because people are often running with inflated resumes, with the most interesting things usually being the inflation. People can have a good understanding of a project, without doing anything in that project, claiming the whole project for themselves. The path to being convinced that they actually did it ends up being very different for every candidate, and any exaggeration/lie you catch them in makes you question all of it.

2. It only gives a short amount of time to get some deterministic proof that represents the work: typing actual code to solve a problem. If something questionable comes up during then, in the little time left, you're not going to get a chance to prove it's not an issue. If that same issue shows up in anyone else's interview, without me being able to defend you, then that's it.

So, I immediately jump into my "standard" interview. It's easy. An average person will finish on time. A great person will fly through it. It checks all the boxes, gives me the proof, and even expands out into a few things that I know are sometimes questionable for others. It gives a clear yes or no for the job requirements. THEN we go into the projects with the remaining time. If you're competent, you'll have a bunch of time left, but you'll also be a strong "yes" anyways. Any cool stuff you show me will change it from a "yes" to "we need this guy, throw money at him".

If you don't like interviews, you have to blame the liars that make them the way they are. There are so many liars.
Why is there so much complaining online about algorithmic questions? It’s really weird.

Surely there are way worse questions that companies ask.

Also, I stopped reading after his first argument which is incredibly stupid. He thinks the fact that he found inefficiencies in code at companies asking such questions proves something. The company I work for asks questions about testing yet we still have untested code. This is not strange, because outcomes depend on many things, not solely interview questions. It’s such an idiotic argument.
if this is how your company hires, you're basically giving up on hiring most senior eng
In my experience interviews do read code whether on a whiteboard or in a github repo. Instead they gloss over the details for than vanity of it. It’s an exercise in fashion for the sake of conformity. That is incredibly unappealing.

I would rather be in a hostile deposition because then at least I would understand the opposing party’s motives and intent.
Maybe take the hat off for a minute and consider how they'd possibly retroactively revoke the (non-revokable) open source licenses that all Chromium versions published to date have been licensed under.

Then ask yourself what the benefit of all that – already impossible – endeavor would be, given that Firefox also exists and isn't deprecating Manifest V2.

Finally, ask yourself which actual paths Google could take to still eventually force MFv3 on most web users without resorting to any such drastic and publicly-visible measures.

See? You didn't really need the hat!

Yes -- me too!

Such a neat idea.
Asking someone to code, even simple problems, should be the absolute minimum standard. Why should it be unexpected to not code when applying to a software development job?

I'm sure we all have stories about falling on our faces during a technical evaluation, it sucks but I wouldn't personally fault the interviewers passing on them.
> I live in Euclidean space, not on a 2-sphere!

You live in both. In your daily life, you're restricted to the Earth's surface, and if someone asks you to walk in a straight line, you will walk in a straight line (geodesic/great circle) along the Earth's surface. You're not going to walk off into space, and you're not going to constantly be turning to maintain constant latitude. Over short distances the difference is negligible, but the article is not restricting you to short distances.

Grocery stores are different because bums aren’t allowed to sit around there waiting for a woman to come by for them to harass. If they were, I’m confident many would object.

It’s clear that you don’t have much concern for the harassment experienced by those woman columnists you read, so I don’t think there much more I can say here. I imagine if you were to have any direct experience at all with the problem, your position would be different.

That all said: what’s your upside? What do you gain which you consider to be worth these women whom you do not know sacrificing their safety?

> (1) The candidate was a criminal mastermind who somehow managed to fool everyone for 15 years.

Not "criminal mastermind", but do enough hiring and you will run into a lot of people who are convincing conversationalists but clearly haven't written much code in a very long time.

In a couple cases I gave these people benefit of the doubt and gave them a backup take-home problem (super trivial, 5 minutes for experienced engineers). They always came back with a solution, but when you asked them to walk you through it they couldn't really tell you what they wrote.

I understand that test anxiety is real, but having to discuss your code with others on the spot is also part of the job. If someone can't discuss even the most basic fundamentals of programming in a conversation, you can't dismiss it all as anxiety every time.
