Is this adjusted for inflation?

> Coding interviews bias towards people who can code under pressure with someone looking over their shoulder, which is almost nothing like real-world coding.

I don't understand this. Why instead play a game, which, as you said, could have disadvantages because there are people that do play and people who've never played. I guess the thinking goes that by easing into a game you can see clear behaviors of people. But you can also try to ease them into coding while you are looking over their shoulder. The interviews I do, and I've seen done at my previous company and the one I'm currently at, it is similar to pair programming, and yes, there is people that is super nervous at the beginning, and that seem to need a lot of hand holding at the beginning, but after coding and having a few small wins start to ease at the test and then they can surprise you with very nice coding or interactions on solutions.

Hahaha, well, indeed. Time to search elsewhere.

Hi! I'm happy to chat if you like! I agree that meeting people is hard, it felt easier when then internet was younger. I'm jackbravo on twitter or linkedin.

Also, you won't know if the bridge is really burned until you try to use it.

That would be https://www.fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki a decentralized version control, issue management and wiki software.

Discovery is not there though.

Ha! From the get go I remembered I heard this song in a Studio Ghibli movie, then a google search quickly told that it was on From Up On Puppy Hill :-p. I love the Internet.

That's what tools like https://github.com/nrwl/nx try to facilitate. Mainly facilitating separating the code in boundaries like backend, frontend, and common libraries.

I haven't really used nx myself :-p. But I would love to use something similar for other frameworks or languages.

I always used to set my monitor to 100% brightness, when I used glasses. I had an eye operation 2 years ago and from the first day I could tell that it was too bright. Normal prescription glasses have light filters that makes you not notice this type of things.

And also because terraform is also working on enabling other languages on top of it: https://www.hashicorp.com/blog/cdk-for-terraform-enabling-py...

"Liking what you see: A documentary" is a short story by Ted Chiang published along side Story of your life (Arrival) that talks just about this topic. Sci-fi story about what could happen if we had the technology to remove beauty bias entirely. Well worth a read: https://afuzzyrants.wordpress.com/2017/03/08/liking-what-you...

Are campus party events similar to demoscene? In Mexico (Guadalajara) they were renamed to talent land, but still have the same vibe as campus party.

Granted, the article is pretty long, and spends a lot of time talking about this windows pitfall that I was also about to abandon it. Then it speaks of other examples like the monotime issue which I think is a better example of what he is advocating.

All this talk about the meta game on war games makes me remember the Ender's Game book, which was heavily based on how Ender was able to adapt quicker than his opponents to new rules and war scenarios.

I kind of remember reading that the book was even recommended in the military.

Most likely the person who invented the machine to automate nails didn't become rich. Maybe, just maybe, the people who owned the company that produced nails first, if they had a patent or something like that. So maybe some people can be thousand of times more productive, but that doesn't mean they should earn thousand of times more money.

Who knows. Maybe BeOS also had other nice talented people working there, with good vision for products, that just needed more room and market that apple could provide. We will never know

And they even link to it on the notes of the blog post.

Larry Ellison? From Oracle? I though he did the opposite.

I don't remember having met someone meaningful in my life over social media only. Unless you count instant messaging.

Yes, the usual places are school, university and work. Church and other similar voluntary-non-religious activities are great too. I also used to attend open source conferences regulary and have several meaningful friends from those conferences, and we keep in touch mainly through instant messaging, not through facebook or instagram. Does that count?

So sounds like "Be the change you want to see in the world." is a nice summary of the whole phrase, right? :-)

With his ending I also implied it was to cure his loneliness:

> If I were lonely today, I would say...

Why is he unemployable?

Do you think that Stallman's life was ruined. I, and I guess lots of people, will still highly value his contributions. But at the same time I think his comments warranted moving on and passing the torch of leadership of the FSF. It is very different to work as a regular software engineer or individual contributor, than as the figurehead of a foundation. I wonder if he will still get invitations to be a speaker, and if he does, if he will be willing to do it, at least for a time.

I like very much his addendum:

> So thank you for all the kind words about bravery. Truth is I’m privileged enough to afford to be brave. For those of you who love the Media Lab and want to see it sail through these rough waters, please take time to reach out to people who may not be able to be as visible in their next steps. Make sure they’re doing okay. Support them whether their decision is to leave or to stay. So many of my colleagues at the Media Lab right now are hurting, and they need your support and love too. Hope we can redirect some of that love folks are sharing with me to them too.

It's like in ratatouille movie, everyone can cook doesn't mean everybody can be a great cook, but that a great cook can come from anywhere.

I'm Mexican, and this results baffles me too. I would say that maybe current perception of government corruption (which has been declining for years and is really really low) has a lot to do, since many people might feel that Mexican society is in debt with them because of the poor perception we have against the current state of affairs.

Also I wonder if this was done in big cities like Mexico City (my guess) or more evenly distributed. I have a perception that Mexican society in general is pretty honest, but big cities are more rootless and impersonal. But this didn't seem to apply to India or other high density countries.

autocompletion in fish takes into account the directory where you are at, so it will autocomplete commands ran in the same directory before other commands.

Angular has server side rendering capabilities, called universal angular app, which allows sending HTML pre-rendered to the client similar to Next.js or Nuxt.js.
