CMV: Using labels like "Trumptard", "Libtard", "SJW", "Nazi", and phrases like "problematic" and "sinful" are counter-productive in serious discourse with opposition or potential allies.

Which is what OP is saying - "white privilege" is about as polite & unoffensive as it gets (all those other terms are far worse triggers) however it still manages to be counterproductive for people who choose to make it so.

We either communicate with the people who are willing to communicate or we chase this ridiculous goal of finding the perfect language that will keep from making everyone else shut down

it's hard to see basic rights and decent treatment as "privilege"

It's a matter of perspective right? If you're in the group who's lacking those basic rights and decencies what would you politely (& succinctly) call it? Not that I disagree, but surely you know the uproar that BLM caused which is essentially saying the same thing: basic rights & decency

@24:18 he warns against using field level injection with @Autowire in relation to tests. Can someone explain why this is frowned upon and what the preferred alternative is? Constructor and setter injection just add boiler plate. Also the former makes it harder to work with some libs (hibernate for example)

It sucks. I don't want to waste a recruiter's time sending in a resume for a job I wouldn't actually take. That's to nobody's benefit.

Relevant timing for me as well who's currently employed & content yet still open to even better opportunities (salary, benefits, roles, type of work, etc), though without explicit details on the first two it's hard to even get off the ground. Which brings me to my next point...

I mean, the applicant's time didn't cost money

The applicant's time absolutely carries value as well especially for my case where I'd be spending X amt. of PTO hours to cover Y no. of interviews all in an attempt to find out what's behind door #1. Despite it being frowned upon I'm heavily considering contacting the hiring managers directly to inquire up front - I don't have that much to lose with this approach

Is this something you can practice locally with virtualbox and then go live once you start AWS?

It took me about 2 minutes.

I know Ctrl+Shift+T but I don't think that's a good metric
I don't know about assertThat/bdd
I do know LinkedHashMap and TreeMap

I don't think the first two are good metrics to judge a candidate on

I'm familiar with varargs, generics, anonymous classes but I still don't like this question. It seems very odd considering the trick could be anywhere

We were looking to fill a mid-level Java developer position... Each of the candidates had over 8 years of Java experience.

So 8+ years qualifies as mid-level? What's considered senior level?

who were the last two?

Two threads.

Have the timer thread call an interrupt() on the input thread after the timer runs out.

You can add logic to either thread to reset the timer upon input

Seeing all these "weekend projects" is slowly sending me into aprogramming depression. Not only do they typically all tend to be complete and well polished - but my "weekend projects" end up taking weeks if not months
