Some days I think I'm smart, then I read stuff like this. I wish there was an EILI5 Plugin for chrome that I could use to tag any paragraph and someone would come along and break it down for me. I'd do it for your comment!

Ah! you've hit the nail on the head why the pro gun people are so adamant about not giving an inch to any sort of increased regulations. Most on the pro gun regulation left do not seem to be able to even fathom why closing the gun show

I don't have any issue with this process beyond the use of 'majority'...Maybe I'm just skeptical, but I don't see how the majority of any interview could be non-interactive... Now maybe you think it can be anonymous

by ohfunkyeah 10y ago
It's not entirely clear to me what you mean here: You don't see how meeting a person would remove some of their anonymity? Or when you say anonymous do you just mean we can't know who the person is by name? But we can meet th

I think this supports the statement you are responding too. The million factors impart a diversity of perspective regardless of whether there is diversity of racial heritage. Does focusing on diversity of racial heritage optimize diversity

I think you give up way more with anonymous hiring than you would ever get in return. How do you gauge verbal and non-verbal communication skills? Do they mesh well with the team. Once you drop the in-person interaction you lose more than j

This seems to be an argument more for interacting with your target market than for diversity. Or are you thinking more like: "Team we just got a new client from Mexico, obviously we are going to assign Alberto to work on their stuff.&q

Think of a professional vehicle driving. Be it race cars, trucks, etc... Sure, maybe in the early days those cars and trucks looked and worked way different from each other but over time the available ones largely overlap, work similarly, a

The API and internal code is still expected to change. He very recently finished a large breaking refactor, so it is not mature. Having said that it is a nice editor with a lot of promise.

Which is why the interesting part of the comparison would focus on where they differ.

But I think reasons that are directly related to the job are the only things that belong in this list. If your "shields down" moment is caused by some factor that is external to the job it's really outside of your manager&#x2

by ohfunkyeah 11y ago
Accounting for it doesn't really add anything. If you have that drive your shields were never really up so trying to prevent the "shields down" moment is simply not possible.

by ohfunkyeah 11y ago
I disagree because this list is meant to be intrinsic to evaluating your current job vs. some other semi-comparable job. Conditions leading to a shields down moment for someone switching to job that might be preventable by management is pre

In fairness, your answer to: Is this project I’m working on fulfilling? should have been no it is not fulfilling enough. It does not fulfill your desire to own your own company.

My 2 cents: Fix the major issues on this article sooner than later. It is a great little post and if all goes well it will have a long tail of visitors or will get picked up again for a nice exposure spike. I think that makes it worth your

Yeah, exactly my point. That statement is laughable to anyone who as been to a University. I'm not even sure if being pushed and/or challenged to become better educated is even a primary focus of Universities.

by ohfunkyeah 11y ago
One can say that all university credits are relevant to any job but only in the most general sense. Certainly you wouldn't advocate 8 years of general education before getting into degree specific education so the amount is at the very

I'd argue that most employers don't really care. They want to use degree, university, and sometimes grades as a first-round filter for screening applicants. Do they actually care if you took the challenging Philosophy course from

by ohfunkyeah 11y ago
Degrees and grades are a big part of the problem because they are treated as currency to get a job. Degrees are like the Microsoft points system. I want a job in field XYZ. Well to get that you have to buy 256 credits. But, but, it looks li

It doesn't do shit for you as a patient. A certainly not any more than trading that 4 yr lib arts degree for 4 more years of medical training. Universities as gatekeepers to actual jobs without is something that definitely needs to be

by ohfunkyeah 11y ago
But why wouldn't they want to be pushed and challenged? The only thing universities offer is the chance to learn more and be pushed or challenged. AFAIK they could not possibly be there for any other reason than to learn deeply. I thin

I disagree completely. You are confusing students rating professors with the how good the survey is and how the university may or may not react to the results. In an of itself rating professors is not good or bad. 1. Part of raising the bar

by ohfunkyeah 11y ago
Researchers who are forced to teach, and are bad teachers because of this, SHOULD be fired from teaching. If the university doesn't value their research alone enough to justify their employment they probably should also be fired altoge

It's easy to take this and the quote above and leap to the assessment that students like professors that give good grades. But why is this? I think it comes from a fundamental disconnect between what a lot of students really want and w

Anyone know of a good update to the discussion that happened here? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3874324 I'm curious how the concept of light table has stacked up against reality in the past year.
