Copenjin··on French court orders Google, Cloudflare, Cisco to poison DNS to stop piracy
> In the past 3 years or so they have repeatedly proven that to be a lie; they weren’t able to have their cake and eat it too.

Yeah, this is what I was referring to, not sure about the reputation but they are still popular, that's for sure.

Respected by who?

Feel free to post those playlists for those discouraged by the list of academic resources :)

Personal opinion.

> if they show they are proficient with Copilot or whatever AI-based tool then it's also a valuable skill that you should have in mind when making your evaluation.

Again, this is your personal opinion. I don't even consider this being a skill. Even less than "knowing IDE bindings". What is important during interviews is verifying that someone is at least able to deliver, troubleshoot and will not be a nuisance to the rest of the team (loosely speaking). Can they use AI tools effectively to speed up development fixing undesirable artifacts? Good, but not something that matter to evaluate if someone should be hired or not. Also, if you want to evaluate how they solve problems, using AI during interview will introduce a huge amount of noise.

You can do point 2 alone, skipping the nonsense of point 1. Please respect the time of the people that are interviewing and don't push your "innovative" ideas about interviewing on them. You are interviewing, not doing experiments.

If they interview for someone able to solve leetcode hards on the spot, that's what they will get.

I hope for them that they they don't focus on this (j/k, we already know that some do).

Copenjin··on AI is the reason interviews are harder now
The objective is not finding someone good at reviews, or even that gets a specific review "right". It's having a chance to understand how someone thinks, better evaluate their actual knowledge and test for some important red flags.

I've been doing this for more than a decade, can confirm that it gives very high quality signals.
Copenjin··on I never stopped learning from Daniel Dennett
It doesn't say much, it's an obituary from [1] for the author of [2] and other books, and it just vaguely refers to his ideas on consciousness and the brain. Too bad since the concepts seem very interesting.

Copenjin··on Spark – A web micro framework for Java and Kotlin
I've been using this for years, simple and gets the job done. Perfect when you just want to add an http endpoint to an existing java application quickly without including tons of libraries.
Copenjin··on JetBrains' unremovable AI assistant meets irresistible outcry
I've just seen this post, can't we just delete a jar somewhere? I mean...
Copenjin··on Ask HN: Who should be the next Google CEO?
Urs Hölzle, hoping that he will accept the proposal this time (I've read somewhere that he refused and they went with Sundar, sad).
Copenjin··on Niklaus Wirth has died
YES.
Copenjin··on High myopia is now the leading cause of blindness in Japan, China, and Taiwan
Seems like utter BS, regardless of all these interviews with those nobodies he is posting.
Copenjin··on ViewStats – YouTube Channel Statistics
So... another, but less functional (has some stat bugs from what I can see), SocialBlade.
Copenjin··on EU-funded report calls for wealth of super-rich to be taxed, not income
Because there are specific laws that can be bent to avoid paying taxes. And politicians have never targeted them, for various reasons.
Copenjin··on EU-funded report calls for wealth of super-rich to be taxed, not income
Hypothesis based on what? Also, what you call "middle-class" already has quite a few issues in acquiring and keeping a house.

Easy target, why not.
Copenjin··on Show HN: Binance Orderbooks Consumer in C++
Minor disaster with the probability of becoming something worse, you never know where these values will end up being used/stored and it's likely that somewhere else in your code some weird form of equality will start appearing at some point (value1-value2<1E-04, lol).

There are a lot of alternatives, use them.

Never use floats for prices and rates.

Copenjin··on Ask HN: Anyone Selling on Intellij Marketplace?
There are currently ~130 paid plugins on the marketplace, if you exclude JetBrains ones. Some have a huge number of downloads but since you an try them for 30 days, I expect that only a small percentage converts to subscription.

Most data problems can be fixed on the frontend with a few relatively simple graphql queries. /s

I wish you good luck with your redemption arc, every monolith counts.

This, extremely interesting and unique documentary.
Copenjin··on Blocking Kiwifarms
I hope that law enforcement has already infiltrated the forum, it seems common sense, get them before they act.
Copenjin··on Blocking Kiwifarms
EXACTLY, it would have fixed the issue instantly, they could have done it years ago as soon as they discovered the existence of kiwifarms.

Don't they care about reputational damage? Who cares about some obscure forums for weirdos.

Copenjin··on Blocking Kiwifarms
Well functioning adults would have just given the boot to kiwifarms as soon as they discovered they were using their service. No childish discussions about free speech needed, who has time for this?

Regardless, Cloudflare with their first response has shown its true colors, joke of a company managed by kids.

Copenjin··on Blocking Kiwifarms
You took the worst example you could take and that says a lot.

Do you plan to build something like kiwifarms? Don't and grow up, focus on building useful projects.

Copenjin··on Blocking Kiwifarms
> Cloudflare is choosing between "platforming the bad guys" and "censoring free speech"

Talking about free speech and censoring in this cases is what people that are ok with the harassment do. Don't. They should just have a normal TOS like everyone else and apply it. The freedom of speech should not be invoked in this case.
