Can affirm. Same with any volunteering opportunity. Turns out, most people value you less if you give away your time and energy for almost free, instead of value you more. For short times it might be fine, as the initial welcome may still b

Very detailed writeup! I'd like to add that, perhaps surprisingly given how niche a field it is, the interactive fiction community keeps producing new languages and tools. In recent years, two new parser game programming languages have

Finally the road to make type checking at runtime opt-in has begun. Took them some time (173 releases) to discern arguments from noise ([^1], [^2]). But rather late than never. [1]: https://github.com/denoland/deno&#x2F

How would you measure the quality of a manager? I do think everything can be measured given the data, and hence automated. The problem in the latter case seems to me that the data is not easily accessible.

Well, you’re not forced to straight-up hire the candidate just from Litebulb, right? A score in a report should not be assumed to reflect the entirety of a person, which unfortunately is a common mistake (e.g. school, college or university

Seems like you entirely missed the “as comments” part. In the current proposal at least, the type annotations are just comments that can not change runtime semantics.

Be cold. Your body burns more calories to keep your temperature. Note, this is different from freezing. If you’re too cold, you’ll run into different problems like getting slow, getting weak, not being able to sleep, or getting ill.

The homepage looks great, but IMO does a poor job of transmitting the value proposition. After the What, it is straight up about the How. It shows me how some hiring report looks like. But it misses completely on the Why. I don’t know what

If your company takes months to figure out if someone does good work or not then it has some serious problems. If you have expertise in a field you can normally guess pretty quickly when someone bullshits their way through or actually knows

I don’t think cheating prevention is in scope for a tool like this and neither should be. Any decent employer puts the new hire on a trial period first. During the trial period, the employer should task them with real work. When the candida

Risking to be heavily downvoted… but does nobody question the story line at all? It makes no sense for Russia to start shooting at a useless office building. If they wanted, they’d drop a few bombs on the critical infrastructure and that’s

IMO the problem is that you need a mainstream way to store the keys that even your grandmother could use. Mainstream can’t be expected to manage their GPG keys and create, append and verify signatures manually. Though maybe in the move to t

Spoken language is as close as we currently get to expressing our thoughts in a standardized way. It’s not a great standard, lots of variation and duplication, and above all undefined. But it’s what we have. Agreements are but one use case
