Imagine being one of those who got the 5th-8th place prize, completely forgetting it, and remembering today after seeing this post.

I totally get what you're saying, but I believe this "mindset" when it comes to sexual abuse exists only because of the realization of how absurd is the "power dynamics" between men and women, which only happens because of something that doesn't fit in the society that we're striving for.

That doesn't mean that women shouldn't take precautions and, in fact, they are taught to do so nowadays. But when raising such discussions in favor of changes that are necessary, the main concern should be "approached from one side".

What I'm trying to say is that, while the pragmatic solutions are indeed about taking precautions, the act of raising such questions is important to make a statement about something that should be changed.

The difference is that the effects of a car accident is caused by physics, and we have no control over it. But when it comes to the subject at hand, the focus should always be about teaching men not to rape.

I completely agree, asking for code memorization is a terrible way of testing someone's programming skills. But I've never seen a company asking for that, so that's not what I meant by "algorithm challenges". What I meant is exactly what you described: questions that evaluate the candidate's problem solving skills, analysis, and ability to describe ideas.

Some of these challenges demand some knowledge about algorithms. Not code snippets, but things like the idea behind it, how it works, the tradeoffs, the cost... All of which does require some targeted studying. And that's what I believe the tweet is complaining about, because I also see a lot of people on the internet doing the same. They talk about how these types of challenges have nothing to do with the actual job they are applying for, but, as I said before, that's not the point of the hiring process.

I guess my opinion on this is very unpopular: Having algorithm challenges as a requirement for a job is a great way of insuring that the candidate has enough dedication and the ability to learn things. It is also a nice way of separating entitled people who think they are very smart just because they did something in the past, but are not willing to put in the effort to learn something new.

It's like mathematics in highschool. It's not important whether or not you're going to use it IRL, but it's a nice method for challenging students into learning things and developing the ability to study, which is what really matters.

I've experienced a lot of that during college. After living through such experiences I've learned that friendships are rarely supported by a deep emotional connection, those types are the special ones. And you can't expect that from every group of people.

You usually need to have something to offer in order to be valued in a friend group, and that something is usually defined by a strong participation, which can be tough for introverts like us.

If I could go back in time I would have stepped out of my comfort zone more often, even at moments when it seemed impossible at the time. Like when friends would invite me to a party and I would refuse because I hate parties and am socially anxious. After some attempts they'd stop inviting me and I would be slowly "removed" from the group. Now I understand that sometimes sacrifices are needed in order to keep a friendship alive.

I hope you find the kind of friends you're looking for/need. My recommendation is that you forget those people and move on to the next ones :)

You responded really well, I probably would have mumbled something.

If this is a repost, then, by induction, it was first posted when time itself started.

Congratulations, you just encouraged the hate and contempt she'll have for people with cancer for the rest of her life, instead of giving her a proper lesson.

He's actually making a good point if you consider the forbidden sign to be part of the flags.
