New comment by stormking in "Technical Interviews Reject the Wrong Engineers"

Someone else here already pointed out the problem with that approach: After the second or third candidate, the interviewer is very familiar with the problem and may become unfairly judgemental with later candidates if they don't immediately see "the obvious". Which wasn't obvious at all to him as well, two weeks ago.

Bullshit, and you know it.

How would you run a project like this? People come and go. People do a one-time contribution and then you never hear from them again. People work on a project for years and then just go silent. Honestly, credit where credit is due, but how is a project like this supposed to manage this?

AmigaOS supported both. Each drive and in addition each medium had it's own name. If GAMEDISK was in floppy 0, you could reference it either as DF0: or as GAMEDISK:

You could even reference media that was not loaded at the time (e.g. GAMEDISK2:) and the OS would ask you to insert it into any drive. And there were "virtual" devices (assigns) that could point to a specific directory on a specific device, like LIBRARIES:

Elegant, schmellegant. If you want your software to be usable in an enterprise environment, you have to support OIDC out of the box.

I love the ability to directly run docker containers.

I think their approach to authentication / authorization is insane (not in a good way).

Besides VMs and LXC/Proxmox-style containers, it can also run docker containers out of the box.

It can do VMs, "system containers" like LXC and Docker/OCI-compatible application containers.

There was a project to implement a dockcer-compose compatible "incus-compose" but unfortunately, it looks dead, right now.

You can even set up a kubernetes cluster entirely composed of containers: https://github.com/lxc/cluster-api-provider-incus

When you don't know who runs archive.is, you can also never know if he sold it to someone else (except if either party publically announces it).

Gaza Health Ministry === Hamas.

Stop spreading terrorist's propaganda.

It is Hamas who does not allow free press in Gaza. Instead, their terrorists regularily dress up as "journalists".

That's because terrorist supporter's propaganda lies are anything but "Hacker News".

You mean: It has never happened once, no matter how often tried. How many communist experiments, how many ruined lives will it take until you and your kind finally get it? But I know the answer already ...

Capitalism can be inhumane, especially if it is not controlled by democracy.

Communism is always inhumane. It cannot be established democratically, it cannot be run democratically. It will always end in misery, poverty and death.

You're mistaking introverts for autist. Introverts are not having any difficulties in social situations and they are not afraid of them. They'rte just not that interested.

stormking — Fri, 27 Dec 2024 00:55:41 +0000

It's very simple: As an introvert, I'm neither afraid of nor bad at social situations. I'm just not (that) interested.
