Typing the technical interview (2017)
- weatherlight 4y ago“Yes queens!” You murmur. This is, sadly, not that kind of interview. Really funny blog post :)

- sterlind 4y agoDrag shows, i.e. drag queens. Popularized among hets by Ru-Paul's Drag Race, where "yas, queen!" is a frequent catchphrase.

- pvg 4y agoThis HN thread is not really the place to explore your interest in the diversity of human sexuality with repetitive comments.
- aasasd 4y ago
- pvg 4y agoYou've got the downvotes, flags and comments from everyone from the mods on down telling you your commentary is indistinguishable from low-grade, transparent trolling. If the problem is everyone misunderstanding you, it's on you to fix it.

- 0xbadcafebee 4y agoThe appeal of the show is drag queens are entertaining. Literally... that is their job. Drag queens are paid entertainers. It's a show about entertainers, entertaining.
- aasasd 4y agoOkay... thanks for the effort, at least. I've been meaning to get somewhat into early-ish burlesque, Brecht, that kind of thing. Maybe then I'll be able to watch drag shows with vague understanding.
- williamcotton 4y agoThe contestants are incredibly talented. The average contestant on a fashion design competitive reality show is way less talented than the average fashion designer on Drag Race. The same goes for dance and comedy and more. RuPaul’s contestants are basically the top performing drag artists in the country. He has the market cornered!
- aasasd 4y agoAh! Somehow I completely missed that they're supposed to be fashion designers. Thanks. > top performing drag artists Well I guess then that to understand the appeal of ‘Drag Race’ I'll have to finally watch ‘Drag Race’.
- williamcotton 4y agoIf you skip ahead to Drag Race All Stars you get the real cream of the crop!
- jordemort 4y agoAlways wonderful, but (2017) - you got me excited that there might be a new one in the series.
- jkingsman 4y agoThere are, at least, after Typing: https://aphyr.com/tags/interviews https://aphyr.com/tags/interviews Latest (with a very conclusion-ish tone) was 2020.
- ahartmetz 4y agoSomehow, making something simple ornate and complicated neither appeals to me as a main story point nor as a writing style. I just find it really grating.
- throw827474737 4y agoIt is a pun into multiple directions at once, and super nerdy (and "correct") at the same time. What do you want more? Loved it..
- ExtraBenefits 4y agoAgree 100%. It's heavy-handed in the way that bible fables are heavy-handed. Crisp prose doesn't imply dull prose. It also channels worst kind of self-indulgent Haskell type-level programming that I've see in real-world projects. That isn't funny when you have to rip out the guts of the system because the head developer left for an even better Haskell gig.
- lopatin 4y agoOne of my favorite blog posts, probably ever. Funny, mind bending, but not completely impossible to follow.
- dmitriid 4y agoI sometimes re-read the series just for the fun of it even if I don't understand even 10% of the technical stuff

- ravi-delia 4y agoThis is a silly request, but it has been my white whale for a while. For the past few years I've set up every proof by contradiction with "Presume, foolishly, ...". I thought I got it from this series of stories, but every once in a while I give them a close read and fail to find anything like it. Maybe I saw it in an HN comment? Anyone remember something like that?
- qu4z-2 4y agoI can't help you, sorry, but I know where I have now got it from :)

- jackblemming 4y ago>If you read Aphyr's twitter, you'll find he has a peculiar set of interests, and I don't mean Clojure and database soundness. Yes, he's part of some LGBT communities. What are you trying to insinuate?

- oats 4y agoIndeed, his dedication to fitness and taste in fine leather clothing is quite admirable!

- tptacek 4y agoYou couldn't come up with a better example of why we have the HN rule that says "please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait". The title of this story is "Typing The Technical Interview". The editorialization this submitter added absolutely steps on the joke.
- dang 4y agoFixed now. Submitted title was "Typing the Technical Interview(solving a problem using only Haskell type system) (2017)".
- wglb 4y agoWhat was the editorialized title?
