rullelito··on Deprank: Use PageRank to find the most important files in your codebase

I thought Glassdoor was currated to a large extent for larger companies.
rullelito··on Ask HN: Which personal projects got you hired?
I did programming contest problems, and also Google Code Jam a few years in a row, which got Google to reach out, which ended up with me getting hired. They probably didn't reach out due to my fantastic performance as I felt quite mediocre, but it got me hired.

Not quite a personal project, I know..

A ledger is a database.
rullelito··on Europe Is Losing Nuclear Power Just When It Needs Energy
I have friends with the same dilutions. "We just need to build loads of tiny mechanical generators and enough batteries to store a few days worth of our countries electricity consumption"

How someone can say this (and still claim to be green) is beyond me.

rullelito··on Europe Is Losing Nuclear Power Just When It Needs Energy
I've seen the left (which is also the main culprit, coincidentally) push for this lie. Try asking someone high up in the nuclear industry, who wasn't politically appointed, and they will tell you.

rullelito··on Tech Interviews Are Stupid
When I interview using coding problems, you just need to know very basic Java or python to solve the problem.

We also nudge interviewees in the right direction to make sure they don't get stuck, which would be in no ones interest.

There is also no hard requirement that you need to solve the problem completely. If you talk to someone for 45 minutes about a coding problem you will get a good sense of their performance, even if they don't solve the problem.

Coding interviews are great (except making the intervieww very nervous), but you have to be mindful as an interviewer.

rullelito··on Bring Your Own Client
It does not suprise me that it's a kid proposing this. They probably live and breathe open source and still dream of a free and open world, where companies prioritize the user far above over profit.

rullelito··on Pro Rata and User Centric Distribution Models: A Comparative Study (2017)
Yeah I'm not sure what the point of this thread is.. Is it too little or too much?
rullelito··on Pro Rata and User Centric Distribution Models: A Comparative Study (2017)
This sounds stressful and complex to track and charge for..

Also, I usually listens to books/podcasts while I sleep, and when not sleeping I usually relisten large parts of them since I often wander away with my thoughts. This sounds horrible from my perspective.

You must be very wealthy.

rullelito··on The More Gender Equality, the Fewer Women in STEM
Variations of this has been growing for a long while. You can't be proud to be man or white; and you shouldn't be proud of success if you belong to that group. Unless your success is something that has benefited someone not in that group.
