Pandora's box, if you will. Social media companies created the void as they filled it. There's no putting the lid back on it now.

The flood mitigation that the Dutch have implemented is just unbelievably impressive.

There's been 50 years of climate catastrophe predictions and the one constant is that [everyone] passionate about it has a wicked case of confirmation bias.

there was a ``` dangle in the last code fence in a post. It didn't always appear, looked to be dependent upon content in the fences, but often enough as to notice.

Having been in 8 foot seas on a small craft, this video is terrifying and astounding all in one.

They seem to have fixed the code fence dangle render bug at the same time. That's been a sticky one for the better part of a year.

the "bad faith actor/tactic" argument is a dismissive mechanism to justify overreaction.

Or there are left wing actors that are truly absurd. I'd believe that before tinfoil theories about bad actors.

They're meant to further empower accusers and reduce burden of proof and remove the need for critical thinking, empathy, and nuance. Accusations equal guilt.

And another project skews into the digital manifestation of an HOA [1]. May the next generation put an end to this madness. [1] Home Owners Association, for those outside the U.S. and unfamiliar with the term.

There's likely a lot of us with some college that took a gig before graduation during or immediately after the dotcom boon. I wasn't exposed to this in the late 90s / early 2000s when I was in school for a CompSci degree. I t

"Pausing." Permanently shelving would have been the move. This is almost certainly smokescreen to shift the PR, hoping to sneak "Instagram Kids" back in when there's less heat.

Is there a word for ignorance based on tribalism? Legitimate question; I'd like to add it to my vocabulary, and it would perfectly describe the parent comment.

Great work, but might be a few holes in this. I recommended a book about 10 days ago [1] that doesn't appear in your index. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28482475

> I like to work with engineers who don't write buggy code. I'm not sure if this is one of the most arrogant statements about engineering I've seen, or if you've found a treasure trove of demigods who never write code

"surprising" indicates that the expectation was the candidates were supposed to be able to perform the task. Perhaps you read some sarcasm into the comment that wasn't explicit?

I surely wouldn't do 6 hours of unpaid work. Not unless very desperate.

I take exactly the same stance. I find that, while I'm not contacted for followups from places like LinkedIn and cold-contact recruiter emails, the approach does resonate with smaller companies that look to places like AngelList and Mo

This is classic "your answer is not my answer." And it's a form of bias. You passed on the person who knew how to write a more complex solution to the problem, and chose the person who chose a more simplistic route. But there

I would decline to move forward in your process. I'm not here for banal, performative nonsense. Unless you're hiring entry level, an interview isn't a CS201 exam. I'm here for you to sell me on your team, culture, and te

package management, scripts are quite the shift in Deno. there are tools like velociraptor and trex which help bridge the gap, but there's still a lot to learn that's much different than node-world.

42 years old. I've been in the industry 20 years now. Does that make me a young whippersnapper? I don't know. I can say that I refuse interviews that don't include job-relevant questions. If I'm asked to do work as proof
