just want to add that if the creator adds Powerpoint, then starting a Powerpoint presentation should prompt a 10 second countdown to a forced update and restart...

The employees at any particular company are a random sample of the population, and will therefore have traits that occur in the larger population.

>> at slower speeds and higher projectile masses the aerodynamic consequences of a thicker sling rope might not matter so much.

You make an excellent point.

The spiral drivetrain seems like the most innovative, and elegant, technology that could be built with old tech. It requires some very strong rope though, so if you went back in time you'd need to really focus on that.

The old school strategy was to hire a student as a summer intern and if it's recognized as a good fit by the end of the summer then ask them to apply after graduating. The second step (for people past that stage) is to trust but verify the work experience they list on their resumes. The difficulty these days is that companies want candidates to be a perfect match for the company's current tech stack.

How do you make the determination that an applicant is fake?

>> Referrals are out performing across the board

I expect a lot of that is due to the referral being familiar with an already ensconced employee, as well as the referrer being incentivized to ensure the referral's success.

This is possibly the most highly concentrated bullshit I have ever seen.

"shock and awe"

also: don't distract with unnecessary and unrelated graphics

this is what Magic Leap should have been

You should ask your friend what they do with all of the half cents that are floating around in the banking system.

They should just require people to answer a dynamic set of random history questions.

The car wash is 50 parsecs away, should I walk, drive, or jump?

I've heard that MS took a different path (than previously) for the Windows 8 Metro design and wonder if a big source of the initial UI issues was a result of shoehorning the new design into the existing Windows UI.

Some friends of mine in college were sitting in a cave, tripping, when a group of actual little people (not elves) walked past them.

The universe finds a way...

I think it's intended to discourage people from switching to 365 Classic, which has the Office suite but does not include Copilot.

I guess no one remembers the attempted Netflix rebrand.

>> the given example comic makes very little sense.

I thought that was just due to it being about React.

The artwork is then given to a museum as a charitable donation for a tax write-off, or so the story goes.

The main point of the screening is to have a highly structured question and answer session that is recorded for posterity, and which can/will be referenced at the next screening 'n' number of years later.

One could even argue that the polygraph benefits the person being screened, as it provides some additional motivation for them to take it seriously.

I like the writing, but I'm not going to subscribe just to access the rest of it.

Also worth mentioning the Cern Colt API...

I think you could get more attention to it by calling it "Al", short for "A language"

It's especially confusing for native English speakers because 'go' should only be capitalized when it's the first word in the sentence or being used as the name of something (such as the Go programming language)

And it's also confusing why people keep posting walled off articles on HN.

Why, after interviewing them, were you unable to figure out if this person can still code?

Nice, they could put a sled after the 6th deer.

My only concern is that a lot of people would probably be more inclined to play on them than the standard high-voltage pylons.
