If anything is going to get copied by Linux as is... it'll be Win32 API so mono / C# stuff can bind directly to that, and Mac/OSX will be even more isolated.

There are multiple companies hiring people on contracts to curate and generate data for this. I do confidential contract work for two different ones at the moment, and while my NDAs limit how much I can say, it involves both identifying issues with captured prompt/response pairs that have been filtered, and writing synthetic ones from scratch aided by models (e.g. come up with a coding problem, and rewrite the response to be "perfect").

The first category has obviously been pre-filtered to put cheaper resources in simpler problems, as sometimes these projects pays reasonable tech contract rates for 1-2 hours of work to improve only 2-3 conversation turns of a single conversation, and it's clear they usually involve more than one person reviewing the same data.

A lot of money is pouring into that space, and the moats in the form of proprietary training data heavily curated by experts is going to be growing rapidly given how much cash the big players have.
I agree with the sentiment of your post.

Real question: Is a single exe not possible when targeting .NET Framework 3.5? Or is the problem that the sum of their silly requirements makes it impossible?

I believe the reality is that most jobs are boring. Even if you're working in a business you're deeply motivated by, there's lots of ho-hum positions that need to be filled.

The library exists, BUT it is NOT shipped natively and NOT (AFAIK) something which trying to run a random downloaded utility app will trigger the system library loader prompting for the 'common wxWidgets runtime, for free, codesigned by Microsoft' download and install from the store to run the app.
Brainfuck is a useful language for evolutionary programming because it is Turing complete, it has few instructions, the interpreter is easy to implement, and a mutation operator is also easy to implement.

There are different ways to deal with bounds checking when moving the tape: saturation, wrapping and invalidation. I often chose to invalidate a program that crosses bounds, as it usually generates a cleaner program that is more compatible with other interpreters as well.

In the paper the part that's interesting is that there was no explicit fitness functions. The higher fitness emerges in the form of the replicator. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOHGBuZCswA

That has nothing to do with being a sports geek however, and everything with maturity and sensitivity to business needs.

I'm still not convinced that you'd need anything else besides a general passion for building useful things.
Maybe the question is there to filter out crusty cynics who aren't up for the very basic bullshitting it takes to get along in a team setting.
I wonder if it's a cultural thing too. Immigration in the UK happened in a particular way, and it does seem limited to Indian/Chinese/Turkish takeaways in particular. Pizza takeaways are a thing but they're mostly US chains like Dominos.
So following your argument, DAB shouldn't have deployed from the begining? I agree with you!
Many people applying for a job already have one, and will expect to make a similar amount of money at a new job. It's a perfectly normal question.

If the candidate is currently jobless, then I agree the question is bad, verging on the insulting. You're probably one of many they are applying to.
Unpopular take : Money being the right answer for arguably 99% of the time, probably the real back of the mind test is how convincingly can you manage a question whose answer is obvious, and navigate to give a different answer which may sound even more obvious, atleast on the table at that point in time.

Disclaimer : I never ask these questions, I am a generalist and appreciate knowledge around wide variety of fields instead of hyper focus into one.

.NET since 6 (I think) can be published as a self contained app with the runtime included.

I mean if I was interviewing with a parking garage company, I’d actually be interested because I have used parking garages and am familiar with them (severe bottlenecks after an event ends, the use of license plate scanning, the whole UX of dealing with tickets, pre-buying parking, trying to find parking garages, etc.) so yes, if you were asking me what makes me interested in a parking garage job which I originally only applied for $$$, I’d have a toooon to say.

I had no industry experience with my current job either — only experience as a user and I was just looking for a job — and basically I just spilled my thoughts about what I liked, what I hated, what I thought could improve, and so on. They actually couldn’t hire me at the time (company-wide hiring freeze) but they must have loved me enough to call me up a year later asking if I was still available and interested (and I was).
The article gives the reason. We all want to work for money. Sure, most of us can call up some enthusiasm for the technology we’ll be working with, but often we don’t quite know what exactly we would be working on anyway.

A better way to go about it is to examine the preferred working style of the applicant vs the way the company operates.
Yeah, the GP comment is classic HN. Wildly vague, with no supporting evidence. The planning rules in the US are fractally complex compared to "Europe".
This is gatekeeping for no good reason. You can learn on the job why box scores have an order, that's like a 2 minute discussion. And at the end of the day it doesn't matter as long as they follow the design provided. And like others have said, nobody will know every sport they're building a ui for, does that also disqualify them?
This game is definitely gonna be known for it's systems, mechanics and simulation, and not for it's graphics - that much is sure.
zPDT (which also goes by a few other names, including ZD&T, RDz-I think they are all essentially the same software just with somewhat different licensing) let you legally run z/OS under emulation. While it is intended to use with IBM’s emulator, maybe you can use Hercules instead-you’d have to check the fine print. But the problem with those products, is they cost approximately US$5000 a year - beyond the means of all but the most dedicated hobbyist

At one point there was a “ZD&T Learners Edition”, which was only US$120 a year-much more reasonable. The problem is (1) it was only ever available to people in the US, which excludes many people (including me), (2) I am led to believe it has been discontinued and is no longer available
Programming, especially imperative, is essentially boxes (statements, function calls) and lines (control flow). That’s why algorithms can be represented as flowcharts.

Same thing with ATSC 3.0.

You can read the industry's claims as to why DRM is needed in broadcast (to ensure authenticity mainly), but you'll have to read between the lines that it's to make broadcast TV impossible to record, ads impossible to skip, and (probably eventually) sweet talk regulators into allowing pay-per-view or paid access "premium" channels, probably leeching off the bandwidth (and quality) of the "free-to-air" channels they are legally a required to broadcast to maintain their licenses.

- that aren't user-facing (specialized industries like machining shops, research labs, semiconductor production etc.)

- where the user is not the paying customer (social media etc.)
If the question is meant as “Tell me what you think is great about us” then that’s lame.

If it’s meant as “What about us motivates you to apply?” then that’s a good question.
Because programming is essentially about receiving the input data, transforming it through a process and in the end outputting it in some other form?

I think this has some value potentially now, but they should not use “pipes” to describe it. Yahoo pipes is dead and there is no point associating one self with that brand anymore. The concept is easy enough to explain without using that word.
I would argue ChatGPT confabulates, it doesn't lie. A lie IMO has to include an deception of some kind.

EDIT: I'd also argue that GPT4 itself can be told to actually lie, because you can tell it to substitute a true statement for a false one, then later get it to reveal the true the statement.

Not weird but expected, if you understand the British population and in particular the media. They're xenophobic and down right racist in their commentary, everything is zero-sum, they see other people doing well and think they must have stolen it from them. Brexit was driven largely by this toxic mix of misinformation and people craving to believe the narrative.

The labor market is a market like any other.

Some markets are competitive and require sales (and sales looks very different in different markets). Some markets have differentiated products or services and some markets have fungible commodities. Some markets are under-served and any old product will do, without the need to sell.

Learn your market.
I have worked for three companies over the past decade, well the second one was an acquisition, anyway, only the last one asked me why I want to work there, I gave an honest answer, it was easy to answer because I grew up reading about things they do.

Last month I was laid off among many other during this AI race. And I was given something called a score sheet to tell me why I was selected, while the performance score was maximum, I was not not "flexible" enough. The only thing I could think off is the conversation I had with my manager about the direction the company is going towards, but alas they went on a holiday after scoring me.

The companies might want smart and passionate people, but they never want smart, passionate, and honest people. If you don't have a brown tongue, you'll not survive.

Right. I call it an isomorphism. You can translate one into the other and back. Whatever "other" form of programming exists it can and should be translatable to boxes and diagrams.

But this "other" form on first glance can look very different. There are no boxes and lines in C++ or python for example.

I am currently wondering, in a very similar vein, if the people who work on Apple Fitness have ever trained for an event in their lives.

The optimistic view is they've left plenty of space for third party apps to come in and thrive, and a number of them have. But if you were trying to build an app that bridged people from sedentary lifestyle to an active one that needed a 'Real Fitness App', well they haven't really done that either, and I can't help but wonder if it's a personnel problem.

The workflows are all wrong for adjusting things the night before a session and much worse for correcting things in the middle of a workout.
The Pet Project That Mozilla Acquired
It’s not asking “why do you want to work”, it’s asking “why us, and not someone else”.

The question assumes that you have a choice of multiple people you could work for.

Why do you want to work for an indie game studio and not EA? Why backend engineer rather than front end? Is there something you see in our company other than money that means you want to stick around for a few years rather than move after a few months?

Ironically the author of the article seems to change jobs every year, so isn’t particularly loyal which is one of the things this question is trying to fish out - will you stay for long enough that you become useful.

It might be that OPs sole motivation is money, but that’s not universally true and is a pretty unattractive trait if it is.
Well, I am suddenly interested in option A, because I like to imagine everyone enjoys a good laugh about what a crappy place it is to work.

Maybe less than you think.

Video games, Music, Fashion here are other industries where "passion" equates to we will pay you less, and over work you at the same time. There's a side to all this that is very devil wears Prada.
With React, you're looking for css modules. They are widely adopted, can be incrementally migrated to, require no change in how you write your CSS and are probably already supported by your bundler (vite, webpack, create-react-app).
https://github.com/css-modules/css-modules

Also, it may be worth looking into why you're writing so much CSS in the first place. I found that 80% of my CSS addressed layout concerns (display: flex; direction: 'column'; margin: var(--space-2);), so using specialised components allowed me to write less coupled components in fewer lines of code.
You can either write them yourself, or check out something like https://www.radix-ui.com/themes/docs/overview/layout.
Who said anything about lying?

I think the people who lie are mainly doing it to compensate for lack of social skills, which would enable the truth in a compelling and agreeable way.
I’ve seen a demo - cannot immediately remember where - where instead of data flowing through lines, it actually had a physics engine where the data was shot out of the boxes in various directions, and did computation with whatever box it intersected with next
This is just nurturing an environment where people need to act obedient and according to the hierarchy.

When you hire a car mechanic or painter, you typically don't ask them why they would want to work on your car or house specifically. But I guess there's a cultural difference between contracting and staff positions.
Bold claims with nothing to back it up. I'll take your "secret sauce" with a grain of salt.
Wow, that SO post is full of very bad answers. Regardless ...

Even ignoring compiler extensions, you don't have to memcpy the struct to the network directly (though this necessarily must be doable safely due to the fact that <net/> headers use it). Instead, define an API that takes loose structs, and have generated code do all the swapping and packing from the struct form to the bytes form.

If you're careful, you might make it such that on common platforms this optimizes into just a memcpy. But if the struct can get inlined this doesn't actually matter.
As a person who just voluntarily switched to a job with less money and couldn’t be happier about it, I’d beg to differ.
Hard disagree. While they had lost a ton of ground people were still sporting blackberries in large numbers. The absolute bone headed move they did is they continued to promote and sell their legacy models front and centre cannibalizing their own future growth.

There were other issues that were much smaller in the bigger picture like android app support on BB10 coming a little late as well as the devices in general had a somewhat underpowered SoC. All of these contributed to slow adoption, but the fact they were promoting new models of the Bold while their warehouses were full of the Z10 was really what did them in.
Think about an AI with a 1 bit model. If you feed that AI data that can't possibly be classified into less than 2 bits, it can't get it precisely right, no matter how much data you train it on, or what the 1 bit of the model represents.

For any given size of system, there will be a ceiling on what it can learn to classify or predict with precision.

I used "system" rather than "model" there for a reason:

Memory in any form, such as context and RAG or API access to anything that can store and retrieve data affects the maximum - a turing machine can be implemented with a very small model + a loop if there's access to an external memory to act like the tape. But if the "tape" is limited, there will be some limitation on what the total system can precisely classify.

Mozilla acquires Anonym to improve privacy in advertising
The expectation that most candidates should care about the "mission" strikes me as incredibly naive. I recently did a job search and spoke with a company I really wanted to work at, and that seemed like an awesome fit. I had a great conversation with the hiring manager and everything looked awesome. Well, they actually found a great candidate that day and decided not to move forward. That's the reality of the job search for most people.

Applying for companies you want to work at almost seems stupid when more than half the time they just send you an email telling you they don't think you're a good fit. It's a luxury and a privilege to work at a so called dream job. In my view, and especially in the current market, the optimal strategy is to talk to whichever recruiter is emailling you, and do no additional research until after the technical interviews are over with. It's frankly a huge waste of time to know anything about a company before you even know if they have a position for you. Having the expectation that your employees care as much about the company as you do is just ignorance.
Of course it is. At a low level, AST is lines and boxes. So is a trace of control flow over time.

Code is downstream of thinking, which makes it downstream of lines and boxed.
Not every open source project needs to be monetized. Projects that were created to "scratch one's itch" tend to fare better than those built to make money. Devs put more love and less stress into them than into things they want to build a business out of.

The monetization paragraph reads really weird, as if you believe HN is a community of VC-adjacent people looking for new ways to make money (it isn't), and talking about how you plan to exploit your new project is mandatory (it isn't either).

I don't know where I stand on this exact issue but one should be careful that the questions they are asking don't slot the acceptable candidates into a gender, economic class, race, age group, or religious affiliation.

If you changed the nouns and adjectives for this example to something else you could find your way into trouble.
That’s one way to frame it. The other would be the candidate being able to understand that the “apart from money” part is implied in the question and the answer given the social context. This makes the money answer go from straightforward and honest to blunt and cringeworthy.

Not just money. Many of us just want a job that pays pretty well, doesn't require too much overtime, doesn't stress us out too much, isn't too far from home, and has some decent coworkers to work with.

Why so many companies can't just offer this and get some dependable, competent employees and be happy with that, I'm not sure, but I know it has something to do with the mentalities of people who become founders or high-up managers.
How times change. Not a single comment mentions Bitcoin, and its potential in affecting the march towards a no-cash, centrally tracked and taxed, society.

Perhaps its legacy will be more about portraying human nature that largely saw it as an opportunity for scams, schemes, greed, speculation, money laundering, and other nefarious activities.
I don't know if "I watch sports" necessarily falls into that trap but there are plenty of other questions one could ask that definitely do.
