Yes. Whether they truly believe in what they do or not, I would prefer a politician like Trump over an "internally consistent" one like Carrie Lam/Xi. At least Trump is scared enough to act differently than how he might…
The reach of culture. I hadn't thought of this, but it makes sense. And yes once it's pointed out to you, it becomes quite obvious that actively resisting temptation is not worth the effort when you can simply avoid the…
I think the issue he's addressing with his design is whether supplementing vitamin D would actually CAUSE infection rates to fall - versus simply knowing that vitamin D levels and COVID infections are correlated.
Yes, but it would also be much harder to organise as a study and require significantly more resources. Unfortunately, most studies prefer less work/almost equally publishable/newsworthy results :)
You're right, it can't simply be because Muslim country ties to China are economically huge/vast... oh wait.
This is one of the most cleanly straightforward and mature posts I've read on HN in awhile. And quite practical too, particularly that last portion. Also, agreed.
They don't understand the original tradeoffs that led to client-side only applications. Let them experience the pain of rebuilding that old wheel :)
I used to believe this too. You've acquired/developed negotiation skills, you should reap their rewards, etc. But then I consider, I've seen many individuals who are such strong engineers AND communicators, and deliver…
Well that's completely wrong. Attractiveness is a trait that signals health, not intelligence/social skill/etc. That's why we evolved to desire attractive people. It has nothing to do with being a marker for…
I agree wholeheartedly. As an arts/law graduate, who has since moved into a senior, highly technical IT role, I can honestly say that had I not moved into the IT field, my existing and already large university tuition…
Agreed.
Quite genius.
Rust is much too low level for most glue/web services. Unless you have a specific high performance requirement (and Go doesn't meet this), there's no real strong case for migration here.
If you remove the specific technical choice from mind (a great engineering team can move mountains with any data layer, something I've also learnt working in numerous contract teams at multi-billion dollar companies) -…
I enjoy reading thoughtful posts that canvas all the possibilities, rather than pressing another singular opinion. This was intriguing, thank you.
For me, it's half half. I actually do love the aesthetic of the open office, the large clearing space and the beautifully connected common areas. It's so vast and 'open'. But I do hate the lack of productive areas.…
I'm assuming the parent meant how would this specific configuration of elixir + phoenix + liveview scale.
I was going to point out the same.
I disagree on the Javascript count, specifically modern, statically typed Javascript. I might choose another language for perf characteristics that JS cannot match, but otherwise Javascript is a truly expressive lang…
I watched Gordon Ramsay pretend to be a beginner chef on some TV series too. Despite slipping up numerous times, teaching chefs don't discover him. Why? Because impressions matter and will frame you as "X", until you…
I agree with dagmx. However, I'd carve out an exception. In an interview where you have, without a doubt, not done well and there's greater than a 80% chance that you feel you won't proceed, this question may…
On a sidenote, I intensely dislike statements like this that hedge their point.
lol people are not rational spenders. Once they begin receiving any sort of stable income, they will bank on receiving it and splurge. Which is a good thing for the rest of, ironically and economically.
It also assesses how good someone is at preparing to solve specific kinds of problems. Which is fine. If you're naturally talented at whiteboarding, great. If not, but you've prepared months ahead of time, great also.…
Wouldn't this be fixed by presenting a on-site assignments? For example a small project, with test suites, where a feature or two needs to be completed and tests updated? (Disclosure: We did this at a company I worked…
