Kids, watch and learn. Let’s pull some rabbits out of thin air again. But first disclaimer - I’m not saying this is why the extension was developed, or, that this is the reason OP points the vulnerability. I’m 99.999% certain this is a rand

I once had an independent project that was both awesome and positioned extremely well for the needs of big co. But, life, it needed support. So, big co sent someone with a fat salary and stock options to take care of things. He mailed to “b

A sensitive question is one for which the answer is an Unknown Known. Put differently, answers in that quadrant are the ones the questioned individual would like to avoid. As long as you, the asker , avoid asking them, there is a peace

What is a sensitive question? Not the examples provided. Here’s an alternative. Former Secretary of Defense for two presidents Donald Rumsfeld once framed (brilliantly actually) the possible things we know. ... there are known knowns; ther

I wasn’t thinking specifically about chess, more broadly about life. For example in the case you presented the side with the bare king is not “in Zugzwang” cause his position can’t get worse. See, right now they are stuck in this useless po

Your assertion is true but you missed the point. Completely. Let me clarify - the process by which commenters gleefully (damn that’s a nice word) add things to the list is illustrative of how things got added to the interview process. No on

If you ever wondered how the tech interview process got to where it is, here is live example (of one possible explanation) - look at the comments, gleefully adding more and more stuff. So. 1. “Every programmer” is a matter of speaking. Obvi

Every once in a while something like this comes up in HN and the top voted answer is always “find a lawyer”. My 2 cents - don’t. You want compensation, you want to direct the roadmap. Your employer wants ownership. Where is the conflict? Wh
