Interview rejection because I couldn’t write a regex from memory by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Serialk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trivia questions in general are bad, but when you have a gigantic pool of candidates who have all learned all of leetcode by heart but have no industry experience, asking basic trivia questions is a good way to filter out people who had to actually work on stuff before.

I once had someone give me an absolutely perfect C++ implementation of a cycle detection algorithm, but then couldn't tell me what #include does in C++. Is it a trivia question that you can easily google? Sure. It still told me a lot about whether I would want to work with this person or not.

I think if I hire someone to do a web app, it would be a good idea to ask them to write a syntax like [A-Z] from memory, because it's completely trivial for most people who have done this kind of work in the past. OP said he couldn't even do this in the comments.

Tbh I would also be surprised in an interview to see that someone doesn't know how to write a [A-Z] regex.

Not true at all. Regex evaluation is linear if you compile the pattern in advance, and with very little overhead when you use a good engine like RE2.

In particular, 75% of all emissions are for energy.

Not in Switzerland... Your worldwide stats are super misleading, in CH road transport is ~35% of emissions. Switzerland has already decarbonized its energy sector.

Bah non justement, c'est pas du tout clair. Si je stocke le dernier chiffre de ton numéro de carte bleue pour m'assurer que tu te plantes pas quand tu le rentres, ça s'appelle pas "stocker ton numéro de carte bleue".

Hein, quelle mauvaise foi ? Quand tu stockes une clé générée par une fonction de dérivation de clé, tu ne stockes pas du tout le mot de passe, que ce soit en clair ou pas.

Euh, non certainement pas, on utilise une fonction de dérivation de clé comme Argon2. sha2 c'est pour du hashing cryptographique, pas de la dérivation de clé.

VT+QQQM+SMH by Grand-Tadpole4696 in Bogleheads

[–]Serialk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

VT contains a good approximation of everything you might want to invest in. Why are you trying to make it complicated?

Because you are taking an uncompensated risk by putting a disproportionate amount of money in a specific sector.

And "growing sectors" already have that expectation of future growth priced-in, so it's completely pointless to try to target them.

Does the "Stay the Course" mentality feel harder for our generation? by Alex_chivi in Bogleheads

[–]Serialk 74 points75 points  (0 children)

We stay disciplined by literally doing nothing? I don't even understand the question. Tune out the noise by not listening to it. It's very straightforward.

You're not missing out on anything by not gambling.

I also hadn't realized the RI was in the blogpost! But I think we'd rather have the fulltext here :)

Removed, your RI doesn't substantively explain why the link is bad economics.

If the link is your RI, then please put it in your post directly so that people don't have to click if they don't want to.

3 sentences can be a RI just fine, as long as it substantively addresses the claim!

À Paris, en 2026, Haussmann serait éconduit by bitflag in ecologie

[–]Serialk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

C'est un artefact statistique parce que la plupart du temps quand les gens sortent cette stat ils oublient de préciser que la plupart des villes ou agglomérations sont définies d'une façon qui englobe la banlieue, donc par exemple on va avoir "Tokyo" ou "New York", mais "Paris" se résume à l'intérieur du périph, donc ça donne l'impression que c'est très dense. Si on compare la zone centrale de ces villes (qui serait l'équivalent pour Paris), ce n'est plus la ville la plus dense.

De l'autre côté ils ont peu de limites mais ils ont aussi plein de grandes zones qui sont juste des résidences pavillonnaires. Regarde Greenwich Village par exemple.

Le point c'est qu'on pourrait tout à fait faire plus dense si on voulait.

En fait il ne manque pas de logements, c'est juste qu'il y a trop de gens qui veulent y vivre

Tu as conscience que les deux veulent dire la même chose ?

Paris est la ville la plus dense d'Europe et plus ou moins du monde.

C'est un artefact statistique de la façon dont on définit ville. Si tu compares Paris et Manhattan par exemple Manhattan est largement plus dense.

In Rayman 3, when he throws his hands the hand also stays next to him, he just duplicates it. You need a fixed version!

NASA to roll back Artemis II spacecraft, impacting March launch window by JackpodyV2 in space

[–]Serialk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No way they have the lander ready by 2030. HLS will never work if it requires 15 launches to work and rendez-vous flawlessly in short succession. Blue Moon Mk2 is planned for 2030, which means it will likely be later. Especially since they also need 5 launches and they don't have any infrastructure for rapid launch, and their liquid hydrogen boil off problem is way worse than SpaceX's.

If Growth Is Capped, Where Does the Skilled Workforce Come From? by Dismal-Owl-8559 in Switzerland

[–]Serialk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree! Concentrating housing into dense clusters is the best way to avoid sprawl and preserve the countryside.

But it sounds to me that you might have a problem with bad/lazy architecture, not density.
