>If you're not a subject matter expert, I personally would prefer you not comment at all.

This is silly. Subject matter experts in adjacent or even irrelevant fields often have a lot to add to discussions. HN would be really boring if only only 'subject matter experts' chimed in discussions.

An IQ of 100 is now low by any means. I doubt the primary incentive is to seek out those with lack of critical thinking skills as they are actually a minority and would turn off the majority.

Let's not kid ourselves that there's any such thing as a genuine poll on a Chinese government communication poll. Give me a break.

jesus christ.....how can anyone be surprised he is dead after watching this video? that's the closest thing to a deadman giving an interview you'd ever see.

I think you would be surprised to learn that most would not even want to talk to you, they just want you to shutup and drive so they can fiddle with their phones in peace. Besides, even if they were open I can't see how the novelty doesn't wear off really quick, you'd end up hearing the same themes over and over again.

I've been waiting for Warcraft 4 for 15 years now (can't believe it's been that long!).

Warcraft III/Frozen throne are quite simply the best games that I've ever played, none have ever come close. I'd give honourable mention to Age of Empires/Rise of Nations.

I think it was killed due to the success of World of Warcraft.

I would hardly describe a conflict involving a total of 14 adult male chimps a "war".

Something tells me keeping statistical integrity wasn't a major factor in testing on these soldiers. i think soldiers just tend to be better test subjects for these purposes as they are more obedient, willing to sacrifice their lives for a bigger cause, take instruction without asking too many questions, keep secrets and no doubt they have more mental fortitude and a higher pain threshold to withstand multiple rounds of various chemical attacks.

I was honestly quite shocked whilst reading this, CIA operated facilities use to kill and test chemical weapons on volunteer soldiers? damn.

Sounds like a short seller.

I usually have video off during phone screens. Do you require them on?

Very strange post. You start with the disclaimer you know nothing about the topic in hand, then go on explaining your treatise to the ptoblem.

This is one of the benefits of not having a linkedin profile. Recruiters/former managers cannot see where you're heading next. Obviously this is different for high profile execs but my gut feeling is that most individual recruiters could be shielded from non compete enforcement if they don't publicize their employment on the internet.

Curious as to why you love asking this question? I wonder what data you are trying to glean from this question. It's a very subjective question and wouldn't surprise me at all if the number of years experience a candidate has in that language is inversely proportional to the answer you're given.

I often get this question from recruiters hiring front end developers: From 1 to 10, how well do you know Javascript? I've given 8 for as long as I remember but often I think to myself if the people who wrote the V8 engine are 10 by default, there is no way in hell I'm even close to an 8.

I would say the Mattermost ("open Source slack") codebase: Go server: https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server

React frontend app: https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-webapp

I didn't have particularly strong feelings towards this proposal (maybe just slightly against it) but it's probably important to note that people who are against it are generally much more vocal and make their voices are heard whereas those who like it just give it a thumbs up/tacit approval and keep it moving. Wish I knew how to accurately gauge the opinion of proposals from user communities.

>It's like adding unit tests AFTER you've written everything. Just don't do it.

Funny you say this, because that's exactly what I do :)

I don't start unit tests on a new project/library until I flesh out most of the major components as I'm sure I'd be rewriting things multiple times as I'm iterating in the beginning. My guess is this method isn't uncommon....

Exactly. Accessibility is a huge investment of time and adds a lot of technical debt if done incorrectly, really doesn't make sense until the entire library is somewhat mature and starts being ised in production at large enterprises. Can't believe OP is complaining about screen readers in a beta release.

Really enjoyed reading your reflection, well written, engaging and great message. Thanks Dr Duncan.

Did you even watch the video?? When the patient says his doctor rushed his colonoscopy which only lasted 5 minutes and that he was in extreme agony through the procedure, i'm going to believe the patient. That's a terrible service.

Would you be more satisfied if Musk met rather meagre goals he set for the company or of he fell short of unrealistic grand milestones? I'll take the latter.

>If I had been practising the sort of arbitrage the guy in the article was doing I would have been highly motivated to keep it secret

By your own token I think the sharing of such information would be "newsworthy". Your comment is rather inconsistent.
