Framing a question like “a system has a high load average, what commands would you use to begin diagnosing that?” and taking that conversation as deep as the candidate can go is neither time consuming nor requires a panel of people.

> My org has run a hands-on technical exam with a stack of linux admin basics ... they are based on real problems we've had and the feedback is overwhelmingly "this was one of the best technical interviews I've ever had."
You essentially answered your own question.
Putting thought into the interview process and working with candidates through real problems is valuable. I cannot say the same for outsourcing or "automating" this portion of an interview using 3rd party SaaS.
Yup, that's what I was afraid of.
> After this, we heavily beefed up our pre-employment screening, which is all of what this person is complaining about.
So practices were already in place to detect and correct this.
That makes it quite foolish to distrust all applicants across the board, and make their experience worse, when performance tracking and correction was already a solved problem.
It's a complete waste of time. Easily gamed or "crammed" for and provides little to no measure of actual problem solving or capability in the context of actual work.
On the other hand it's a strong signal that the company adheres to many "best practices" that aren't grouned in reality. So I say thanks for the red flag interviewer, goodbye!
CS trivia interviews were largely introduced by Google, with other companies cargo culting that into their interview practices.
After making the switch it's hard to shop at a typical grocery store. Everything is ridiculously marked up and the floor plan is ridiculously sprawling.
Seems like a strange default, I wonder how many users actually slide to type?
Aviation is an industry where new products absolutely should not be fast tracked into deployment. The rules and regulations that are in place today were written in blood.
If anything it's the weakening of these regulations (i.e. manufacturer self-certification) that enabled the MAX disasters.
And I'm going out on a limb here...
Don't support user hostile maintainers who force breaking changes to a decades old API just because they felt like it.
Even backup otp keys would be a challenge in this scenario.
What solutions would help with this? I would think even having two passwords on the account (as in you need both to log in) would be an improvement over plain password auth.
Step 2) Search ‘delivery’ in your favorite maps app
Step 3) Call whichever restaurant looks decent to you tonight and place an order
Step 4) Receive delivery, give cash tip
You’ll eliminate the middleman fees on both sides of the transaction while at the same time supporting the food businesses that are most local to you.
I keep hearing this term 'fireside chat' used like this, and ever time there's no actual fire and it's not intimate (10k viewers?). What is it supposed to mean?
That has to be one of the worst description of ethernet that I’ve seen!
