I'm surprised by this direct and candid tone.

Given that an md5 hash is 128 bit, by simple brute force, you would need to try 2^128 variants (in expectation) to find the matching hash. Thats rougly 10^38 combinations. That's a huge number, I can't imagine that the author simply hashed variants until one happened to match, there must habe been some other technique involved.

I agree with most of what you said, but can't think of a single game that looks good on the Switch (by today's standards). Can you name some examples?

Can you give some examples of which things haven't changed?

Care being a bit more specific?

Fortunately, having discord running in the background will interrupt you another 1927329 times that day for equally important things

Yikes. It even looks like the killer robot dogs from black mirror.

Maybe we should have a SaaS browser.

The only true format is the programmer's yyyy-mm-dd :)

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but you're probably hurting yourself far more than them

I currently have a full time job. There is the option of reducing to 80%, but that comes with the respective salary cut. I'm wondering if it's worth it, also the increased productivity is not accounted for from a financial perspective.

Sounds like a dream. I'd love to work in short bursts of highly productive work instead of full work weeks of mostly lingering around and wasted time to fill the hours. I wonder though, how does it work out financially?

Agreed. For me personally, commuting is a big factor - I love not doing it... Unfortunately, permanent WFH will probably not work for me for other reasons, in particular I think that the face to face interaction with coworkers cannot be replaced...

Clever optimization engines are IMO no excuse for blindly throwing queries at it and not knowing what's going on. Every optimizer has some corner cases in which it fails and I'd argue that as a good developer you should know when they can happen.

Additionally, in this example, the rewritten query is easier to read and maintain.

With each of those blog posts I'm fascinated by the pace at which they release new features.

Yeah about that, do you have some insight on why the X background daemons are always 'incompatible' and gradle launches up new ones?

Probably better than being on Hacker News at 1 in the morning on a Tuesday.

Are the tweets filtered for the event in any way, or is it just a random collection from all of twitter on that day?

Listening to the podcast just a minute ago as I found this post... What a coincidence. I second that recommendation.

Something like that would be happening very gradually over time.

It amazes me that, under the right circumstances, the wiggle room can reach levels as high as 50%. I wonder what they were thinking when they made you the initial offer.

I like the idea of a fun interview. This will take pressure off the candidate and he will be able to show his strenghts better.

Please don't say 'Europe' when you mean 'Italy'.

I'm glad I found this. I will come back to your blog and to the app. Thanks for sharing.

How about tooling/the ecosystem? Python has all the scipys, pandas, scikits, tensorflows, pytorches.

I find it both amusing and ridiculous that you have to go to such great lengths to be able to type a good swear word on the iphone.

Your story is very inspiring. I wish you all the best with this project.

Is it just me or is the author working on far more interesting problems than most of us?

"Linux founder"

Folks, anyone who knows what Linux is also knows who Linus Torvalds is.

"When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure" - Goodheart's law.

Give people a metric - any metric - and they will (conciously or otherwise) start optimizing that instead of the actual goal.
