Ah, makes sense. I just abandoned the code interview altogether and ask them questions about process. It's a very simple workaround, but very effective. I'll admit it helps that there are very few problems these days outside of sp

Can you explain why you think this? I don't understand the reasoning and it's certainly not "obvious". There's certainly no technical reason implying this, so is this just resistance to learning rust? C'mon, ke

I don't understand why rust bindings imply a freezing (or chilling) of the ABI—surely rust is bound by roughly the same constraints C is, being fully ABI-compatible in terms of consuming and being consumed. Is this commentary on how Ru

A sledgehammer doesn't need to be able to turn a screw. Perhaps states might take advantage of this, but the incompetency of toadies at technology won't impact their competency at wreaking destruction.

Lack of empirical support does not imply empirical support of no insight. In fact, it seems like you can reasonably draw whatever conclusion you please with about equivalent (zero) evidence. Calling these "myths" seems like a bit

What do you mean by the "high" end? I would consider this sort of interview style necessarily precluding such a place from being considered a high-quality work-place. Not only is it a miserable way to interview, it's not an e

The appropriate restrictions are relative to the size and momentum of the organization. It's easy to spend months setting up safeguards rather than working on product development that won't proportionally return. Of course, this i

I had no idea people took hackerrank as a serious signal rather than as a tool for recent graduates to track interview prep progress. Surely it has all the same issues AI does: you have no way of verifying that the person who takes the inte

I use wifi calling and it still sounds bad compared to facetime. Like, exactly as bad as over cell.

It's entirely possible I have rose-colored glasses on. Still, VoLTE is terrible compared to any other audio service I've used aside.

Neither? It's however the voice is encoded over the cell network. Again, I don't understand why because there's more than enough signal to stream digital audio. It's like they haven't upgraded voice quality in 30 ye

Surely the title should indicate somewhere that this is about selecting partners (which I find to be a terribly dull topic).

I miss how clear the sound was. Cellphones sound like absolute crap in comparison. I don't understand why.

Wow. This is fantastic. This is the first time in nearly fifteen years they've had a feature I've actually wanted to purchase.

Mandating source code isn't remotely near perfect either. In an ideal world we wouldn't need currency to organize an economy. People gotta demand more.

by TransAtlToonz 2y ago
Why not simply mandate providing code? It doesn't make any sense to wait until the vendor dies to buy.

The only mature, production-used exception of which I can think is Naughty Dog's Game Oriented Object Lisp/Game Oriented Assembly Lisp. EDIT: I was wrong, wikipedia claims there are basic GC functions. I can't speak to the

Getting through a tech interview seems like a concrete problem.

I got a pair as a gift and they've been sitting around unopened. I can't say I have any clue what to do with them—I like cheap sunglasses and I don't like talking to chatbots. I don't understand why we can't have du

I'm no game developer, but I understand that Unreal comes with a massive ecosystem of tools and third-party addons. It seems like it would take a company about the size of Valve (or much larger) to compete with that kind of platform.

Yea, I'm not ragging on the parent for the choice they made. There's a lot of services it's just not worth the effort, and many people do find oauth2 to work just fine.

Why does ADHD take dopamine-oriented medication rather than serotonin meds? Does serotonin play a strong role in "motivation"?

I understand people use these logins, but I'm not trusting a third-party login to gate access to anything I might miss. It's already annoying enough that there are virtually no access guarantees for a service , but to add a secon

The fact that "neoliberalism" is considered left should seriously concern anyone who has opened a history book.

Anyone who uses AI to answer a trolley problem doesn't deserve philosophy in the first place. What a waste of curiousity.

This is hilarious. I grew up right across the border in Massachusetts and to me growing up, Albany was the big city. Crossgates was the nice, clean, well-maintained mall with the better movie theater, (our rural one was literally decaying
