Do you support shutting down businesses for the duration of any Tornado Watch? It would depend on the severity -- and shelter capabilities at the business site -- of course.

So this wasn't a surprise. Thanks the detailed clarification. I know all these people saying "this happens every week in the midwest", "you only get 10-15 minutes warning" meant well -- but from everything I was r

I'm yet to meet someone who can pass LC, but can't code. I should perhaps be clear that by "overwhelming proof of ability" I meant "the ability to program well ". Which by definition does intersect with one

This document is actually quite fascinating -- if nothing else than as an dazzling display of institutional mind rot. So it shouldn't be flagged. It would be a shame if it didn't get wider circulation, in fact.

I think it should be upvoted, actually - for showcasing just how bonkers the CPC really is.

OK I get the message. Do we know when these alerts start appearing in the Edwardsville area?

Also, this particular tweet suggests that Amazon's monitoring of the actual weather conditions in the area was ... at best haphazard. Seems like they have people just randomly googling for a second or two instead of doing actual resea

Amazon is far from exceptional in having its warehouse open during these weather conditions. And you know that how precisely?

Do you have evidence to support these theories? Sadly, the preponderance of evidence -- specifically the timing of the numerous severe tornado warnings in the region, starting as early as 4 hours earlier -- and the company's unfortun

You never worked with any of them. You only know that you applied your measure. What's interesting is that the people doing all this "weeding out" seem so sure that they're bravely defending the fort against an onslaug

Nothing jumps out to me as overwhelming proof of programming ability. Are you suggesting that leetcode tests provide "overwhelming proof of programming ability"?

Has this person demonstrated that through the projects he chooses to put on display (and advertise as signal for his ability) on Github? Using the example you disparaged (his NaCl implementation), I would say: "On first appearances,

Right - it's a bar, and some people won't meet that bar. And that said - a pretty minimal bar. 1,000 lines isn't that large, btw - but yeah, maybe 500 would be a better number.

Floppy disk? A printout? Long before open source was a thing, and repos were even thought of -- I always had a few 1,000+ line personal projects I could dig up and show people.

I never said you should just hire someone on the basis of their repo. But rather, if you're looking for a basic smoke test which can answer the question "Can this person actually code? Do I want to spend more time engaging them?&
