joshSzep··on A senior engineer's guide to the system design interview
I love the content that interviewing.io puts in this category on their YouTube channel. What was especially eye opening is seeing two senior engineers that normally conduct systems design interviews taking the driver's seat. https://youtu.be/Zi0pPkiFemE

TLDW; they struggle! big time!

joshSzep··on Ask HN: How are you celebrating New Year’s Eve?

joshSzep··on South Korea lifts ban on imported sex dolls
"The customs service said it will still ban the import of child-like sex dolls or others embodying certain people. It said other countries like the United States, Australia and the U.K. also ban child-like sex dolls."

I don't agree with this wrinkle. Just as flavored nicotine vapes are a danger to children, but a godsend for people trying to quit cigarettes.. if someone is afflicted with pedophile desires, why not allow them a safe outlet that does no harm to actual children?

joshSzep··on Ask HN: Which password manager is the most secure and why?
Yes it's just unique for the 'user' of the Algorithm.

I think you have a valid point in multi site leaks if the attacker was focused on my account. I will think about it

joshSzep··on Ask HN: Which password manager is the most secure and why?
I don't believe they would determine or even expect it is following an algorithm.

For example on HN my password could be 1YCju7i8!

It isn't, but let's pretend it is.

That is a counter at the front, YC is from the website address, j from my user name, and u7i8! It's the unique key. I use the same key everywhere so it's easy to remember.

I don't think a hacker would figure it out.

joshSzep··on Ask HN: Which password manager is the most secure and why?
I have a memorized algorithm for my passwords which combines my user name, the website name, a counter, and a unique key. It includes uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols. The passwords come out at 9-10 characters.

So I have no need for password managers, for writing down in a notebook, or anything else. Try it.

joshSzep··on Ask HN: I want to quit coding professionally but keep it as hobby. What now?
I think it's worth reflecting on it the profession is burning you out or if a switch in jobs could help. I myself have felt this burnout but reinvigorated by a new role.
