A coding exorcise should only be done after the main interview and given only to finalists. Doing well should give one a huge chance of getting the job. The last few hires, we gave the test to three people and chose the best candidate after

Preempt stupid locals and their dumb laws at the state level. The local politicians can say they did everything they could to stop it, housing gets built, and prices start to come down. This problem is not unique to the area. Idiotic nimbys

MacBook Pros since at least late 2013 support 4k @ 60hz. That's a seven year old laptop. I've been using 4k displays with mine for years with no issues, both at native and scaled resolutions without taxing the cpu/gpu. I woul

Expecting Boeing to regulate itself is like expecting a dog to not eat from its bowl when hungry. It ignores basic human nature and the incentives companies have to make profits at any costs, even if those costs are hundreds of human lives.

Not a single suggestion in this article would improve the current dmca situation and most, if not all, would make things worse. Hopefully bipartisan squabbling will kill any proposed changes and leave this awful law as it is rather than mak

Yes, totally, but the only way to do that successfully is to regulate supply at home: legalization. Anything short of that will not control fentanyl from China or anywhere else, not even decriminalization. Black markets or even gray markets

Blaming China for our failed drug war and idiotic drug policies is like blaming gun companies for WWII. The only way to help opioid addicts is to help them improve their lives while providing low cost, safe opioids to them until they are re

I only disagree with "as they must be in a small org". I only wish that was true, but my experience says otherwise. A small company might give one agency or it might not. Or it can do both over time. With a dozen people in the com

You mean there is any other reason to work at FAANG other than compensation? I find that hard to believe except for truly exceptional outlier cases.

No, but their skill at being inconsiderate assholes almost certainly transcends the interview process as well as their engineering process. It likely permeates their whole organization. That's what I think the interviewee is looking at

Except that those things are declining, even in America, let alone in most of the rest of the world. Life expectancy is decreasing for many (except for the rich). Food quality has been declining for many decades. Preventable diseases are co

I think this applies to most atoms in the body over time: https://stevegrand.wordpress.com/2009/01/12/where-do-those-d... But while it applies to many cells over varied lengths of time (up to many years), it

Progress is an illusion at the social level where it truly matters. Some parts of the world go forward while others go backward. Gay rights is championed in America but not in Saudi Arabia. Vaccines save lives except when people refuse them

Why would it be anything but the hourly contracted rate agreed in the employment contract? Anything else is a breach of contract just like not being paid at all is a breach of contract (which is also illegal but unenforced). What should hap

So will they be forced to pay backpay to all the employees Apple stole from up to this point? It's unclear if retroactively enforced means backpay, but it should.

I doubt it as the meeting is pointless bullshit for the managers like all scrum meetings I've ever been part of. Also, there is no need to be alert or mentally present for it. The engineering team is ok with moving it, but management i

Yeah, I totally agree. I quit this past May except for the occasional half hour to hour news/comedy show every week or less. In over half a year, I haven't missed anything important. If something is truly important, it'll fil

This is one way to dumb down the population and fill them with fear. Given the current events in the UK, neither of these goals are surprising. Anti-intellectualism seems to be rising in many parts of the world and is clearly correlated wit

I think video is mostly useless and VR will be even more so if only for the simple fact that many people cannot use it due to motion sickness. Better tech is unlikely to ever change that. (I can't even do 3d movies). I think chat and v

I agree, but my employer runs a scrum meeting each morning. I've talked to them about moving the time later, but they are inflexible. Thus, I typically work starting at that time until quitting time. It's far from my most producti

Ah yes, the "make me" culture. As in, make me do it or get the fuck out. It's as prevalent in corporate America as it is in our government. The problem is, there is no one there to enforce the laws and regulations. Corporatio

One of the huge advantages about working remotely is that no one else can see my emotions. That way, when I'm angry or upset, it won't upset or anger anyone else unless I express it in chat or another medium. It's much easier

FF dev tools are on par or even better (IMO) than Chrome, but the last few versions, it seems they have changed/dropped sourcemap support so it doesn't work at all. I went back to FF a couple years ago, but now I'm disappoint

If it doesn't negatively affect kids, as you say, then why not let them watch it? Also assuming children know nothing about their history and culture to provide their own context seems a bit presumptive, especially for the older kids t

Absolutely. Malice is almost always the cause. That's why Hanlon's razor is absurd. It supposes a version of human nature that doesn't exist. Surely humans are generally stupid, but they are also scheming, lying, manipulating

Ah, the old save the kids argument. You think kids are that stupid? You really underestimate them. I was watching these cartoons when I was young and I didn't become a racist piece of shit. This was in a country that is almost complete

It's probably not just the ads, but the fact that they have complete, unlimited access to one's machine to install apps and copy/modify data as they see fit that makes them worse than the MS of the 90's. To me, it's

They both think, like Christianity, that their religion is the only path to god. Islam kills for it too.

I never asked that. Quite the opposite. I think the show is great and shouldn't be banned as it is in many places. It's the people who call it racist that are banning it as if somehow that will make the world less racist? Or it&#x
