This is terrible. You watch everything through the glass of competition and money. I would hate to be raised in your family.

I guess they don't take good advice because the advice isn't good? The author doesn't give any reasons to think otherwise.

The author is proposing writing as a tool for self-improvement and to find clarity. Sure enough, that will help to find clarity for sure. Just don't expect that it will help to find clarity for anyone else beside the author. In a fast

This is seriously lacking in terms of what's available on the market in Japan now. No support for point payments (like RakutenEdy payment), neither Linepay, Rakupay, Merpay, Paypay and other QR payment providers, nor Suica or Pasmo pay

Yes, algorithms are essential for information technology. But the question is not that. And the discussion is also not about that. The question is: are algorithms essential for one's career and for the majority of business too? I don&#

And that's why HackerRank, Codility and all the other coding sites have zero relevance today in regards of the actual capability of the candidate. The fact that hiring committees, HR departments and software engineering managers rely o

> the transaction needs to be "Signed" by the `from` public key Is that so? The code actually signs with the private key. Although I might have misunderstood what that sentence refer to.

I am sorry but this tells me exactly one thing: that you don't know how to write a job description. If you have written your job description tailored to the ideal candidate you would have had a smaller candidate pool and a better match

That might look good in the short term, but there are many companies and roles which require you to show the actual number of users, or the load of the service that you worked on. Also many technically challenging issues only come out under

I'd be cautious about this advice. Many times even though the company in general might be a feature factory [0], there might very well be a human who actually meets customers, or at least tried meeting them and failed for some reason.

While that is a solid advice, still it raises the question: is there such organization which corrects itself by firing the incompetent and promoting the competent instead (the "toldyouso" guy in this case)? Or we just simply accep

I am sorry for playing the devil's advocate. I also think that pipes are extremely useful and a very strong paradigm, and I use them daily in my work. Also it is not an accident that it is fundamental and integral part of powershell to

If you watch it closely, all the posts are stalled when the US folks sleep. The only active changes on the top page are during the kind of short 10-12 hourish time period when dang is awake and cares about the submissions.

Maybe that's how Facebook builds their organization: VP of Integrity, VP of Honesty, VP of Sincerity. So that Zuckerberg doesn't have to take on any of those roles.

What you describe is not luck, but different rates of probability. Luck is I would say when you have 50% of chance of winning. Otherwise by definition it is not luck, but a high chance of winning.

by fogetti 6y ago
Luck by definition is an independent variable. Edit: I don't know who downvoted me, but this is the definition of luck according to Google: "success or failure apparently brought by chance rather than through one's own action

by fogetti 6y ago
Nope. Luck does not imply causality. Everyone can be an idiot (including you) and you can still be lucky. Or there can be a mixture of idiots and geniuses and you can still be lucky.

Thanks for the reply. But I am still not convinced. It seems these are watered down versions of outlines of the actual decision making. Which is different from what I am suggesting. Here is an actual example: > "• Question: How much

Hi there. Have you ever considered making the decision making open? I mean it seems you are obsessed with criticism and scrutiny. Then here is an idea for you: invite journalists from major media outlets to your decisions making. Then you c

> there's a chance they will never bring them up later If by that you mean that they will look for another company instead, then I agree. That's what I always do. I am not explaining anything, I just simply ghost the companies

This is why I hate hacker news sometimes. Many posts and commenters are really narrow minded and make bold, sweeping, contextual but nevertheless ignorant claims, conjunctions and statements. To answer your question, no: in Japan there are
