Re:Launch HN: Litebulb (YC W22) – Automating the coding interview on Monday March 07, 2022 @04:59PM (#30593852)
Three metrics you pointed out: 1. Linter 2. Cyclomatic/halstead complexity 3. identifier naming convention testing

Are those really things that candidates can get a negative ding for? Those are things that can/should be handled automatically by libraries or your CI/CD (ex: Rubocop)

More importantly, how do you get more details/nuance over things like naming or cyclomatic complexity.

Cathy O'Neil wrote a book called "Weapons of Math Destruction" -- interesting read.

You can listen to an interview she does on econtalk -- interesting to learn more about the hidden biases.

Re:Segment raises $64M led by Y Combinator on Thursday July 13, 2017 @12:26PM (#14762635)
To me this is the primary challenge of outsourcing your client side tracking -- you risk a wholesale block of your analytics if the Segment file gets blacklisted.
Re:Airbnb Files to Raise $850M at $30B Valuation on Saturday August 06, 2016 @01:40PM (#12239008)
I think their value over the long term is similar to tripadvisor/yelp - while anyone can come in a create a repository of home sharing they wouldn't have the reviews/reputation data as AirBnB has. Going into someone's home / letting someone in your home, just like hotel reviews or restaurant, reviews/ratings can matter in the decision making process.
Re:Pointer Pointer on Monday November 10, 2014 @08:43AM (#8583416)
Haha, this thing is hilarious. Great job. I wonder if the author manually went through images locating the finger or there was some automated way of doing it. I did notice that if you move the pointer is certain ~20x20 areas the same picture appears. I'm guessing the set of images is small enough to just manually do it.
Re:Airbnb Political Campaign [video] on Tuesday June 24, 2014 @04:29PM (#7940378)
Violating the lease is probably the biggest issue imo with Airbnb. I think part of it is that we so often gloss over legal contracts and the concept of airbnb where you can just "rent out a room" doesn't FEEL like anything wrong. If as a tenant you know it's wrong, it FEELs like a petty offense which you shouldn't be penalized for or it FEELs like a broken law.
