Waltons and Kochs actually give a lot. I am very close to an organization that receives money from both of their foundations. They do have a political agenda with much or their giving but in certain areas it could be considered apolitical.

I agree that take home projects and pair programming are nowhere near ideal, but I think the advantage you mention for the "leetcode" white boarding is one of the main disadvantages. If all you need to do is study these and memori

Word. I've been trying to do similar in my life and when I do make the effort to raise myself to the same level as those I am greeting the interaction is so much more fulfilling for us both.

I don't really buy the idea that Anonymous were not a group to begin with. They had to have some organization in the beginning coordinating things and developing their marketing strategy. And regardless of the fact, if it even is a fac

I fail to see how you actually disagree.

clearly we have different interests in what we like from HN. many of the sites you filter are sites that I like prefer their content because they do offer commentary that provides context and perspective that I don't always get from wh

perhaps, I think iTunes did so well because of iPods and iPhones.

I only use chrome for sites that don't work in other browsers and for testing. I think it's great that IE is no longer the defacto standard, but I'm not a fan of chrome being it either.

that is an absurd assertion. iTunes predates Kazaa by several months and iTunes never had any P2P capabilities.

I was thinking the same. His arguments seem thin at best and suggest a misunderstanding of what OOP really means.

Great question I don't have a solid answer to. Due to my seniority I tend to either be the lead or act as the lead for teams. It is easier for me to reason with the team to buy into these kind of things. The worst offenders will tend t

2006 being the last update makes me not want to use it. But I suspect it is a stable library that doesn't need much update. I'm just getting back into c/c++ development and I'm very interested in libraries like these.

I work at a small non-profit teal organization. we have a daily standup for the engineers, but other than that meetings are rare for me. I have to go on HN to get my fix for being distracted.

I usually start with being aggressive about people not squashing commits. I think it's bad form. I also find shame works, as well as blocking merges when reviewing when commit messages provide no value. Could also start a swear jar of

I would assume a project somehow related to travel. Seems fairly self-explanatory, especially if you look at what it contains.

While that may be an extreme example I agree. nothing clean about that code. I've only just begun to dive into rust, but I feel like I'd need a concordance to navigate the meaning of that snippet alone. Bt then again, maybe it dep

I don't think it's dead. You are right on the other points. I think that Julia could have its day, it's having a lot of trouble getting traction. I mean I remember 20 years ago being laughed at for using Python for a web app,
