Quoted jensenharris's tweet:
Whiteboard coding is a pretty broken way to gauge developer skills.
For years, companies have “proven” that they hire only the best and brightest by putting interviewees through rigorous algorithmic puzzle solving on the whiteboard.
It’s kind of dumb. Here’s why:

If you believe an injustice was done in the past and you condemned it, and then a similar injustice happens in the present, except this time to someone you dislike, I would assume the logical course of action would be to also condemn it. (This assumes humans are logical)

Repost from thebibliosphere:
To those trying to use my post to say Terry Pratchett would have been for the racist right wing rhetoric that resulted in Brexit…what’s it like being Lord Rust?
“You can’t put words in an author’s mouth”
Okay but, and I’m going to go out on a limb here, *steeples fingers in front of face and takes a deep breath* when you spend the entirety of 41+ books telling people to fight back against the evils in society, which he perceived and portrayed to be racism, sexism, classicism, ageism, greed, neglect, war and the every day small minded acts of bigotry that make society sick as a whole, I’m going to go ahead and say Terry wouldn’t be to happy with people chanting “Make Britain White Again” while firebombing the local kebab shop. Just a hunch.
One of his books was literally called Jingo and featured a kebab shop being firebombed. And the protagonists were outraged by this and did everything they could to help the owner. The words were already in Pterry’s mouth back in 1997.
“It was much better to imagine men in some smokey room somewhere, made mad and cynical by privilege and power, plotting over brandy. You had to cling to this sort of image, because if you didn’t then you might have to face the fact that bad things happened because ordinary people, the kind who brushed the dog and told the children bed time stories, were capable of then going out and doing horrible things to other ordinary people. It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone’s fault. If it was Us, then what did that make Me? After all, I’m one of Us. I must be. I’ve certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We’re always one of Us. It’s Them that do the bad things.”
Jingo– Terry Pratchett (1997)
Discworld was a deeply progressive book universe, where diversity was always a strength, where kindness was the great problem solver. How coukd anyone read any of his books and think he was ever conservative in any way?
God bless how can you get PTerry so blessedly wrong?
By not actually reading the books? Honestly, I don’t get how you can read over 40 novels worth of books and NOT GET THE BASIC PREMISE?
And just in case you aren’t paying attention, or need things spelled out for you, Pratchett’s villain in Going Postal, a character named Reacher Gilt, was a blatant con artist who would tell you that he was going to rob you as he was doing it, and whose office was located in a build called Tump Tower, for fuck’s sake.
Seriously.

Repost from iskolarspeaks:
I rushed home from class to be with my lola who has been crying non stop since the news about CJ Sereno broke out.
All she ever said the past hour was “Ganito, ganitong ganito rin yung dati, hindi nagtatanda ang mga tao. Hindi talaga, hindi…” in between sobs. Nothing more.

I watched The Post. Started out a bit boring, but it was a great movie. A stark reminder of why we need the media to hold the powerful to account, certainly relevant to modern times.

As someone who writes software, you can’t be an X (Go, JS, Python) developer. There are build languages, formatting languages, and so much any other things you require to get things done. When you stake your position behind a single language, you are only lying to yourself

On the jeepney today I sat beside a white-haired man with Chinese eyes who held gripped his phones sideways with both hands, thumbs tapping away furiously at the screen. He was playing the Injustice mobile game.

Repost from naval:
One reason that freedom of speech is so important is that doubt is the foundation of science.
When you close a topic to discussion, you are saying that it is decided, and scientific inquiry is no longer allowed into that domain.

I also watched Snowpiercer. I had this on my backlog for a while and decided to watch because it came up in quiz night. Good movie, kinda weird. My copy didnt have Korean subs, so I had to guess a lot of what that one guy was saying.

Posted on r/Philippines: Do you find the Barangay to be a relevant and/or useful part of government?
TBH, I don’t see the need. AFAIK other countries only have elected local officials up to the mayor level right? It just seems like another unnecessary layer of politicians

I watched Baby Driver. Great movie. Might have been a bit better if I knew sign language. Kind of makes me want to visit that parallel universe where Edgar Wright got to finish Ant-Man. No post-credit scenes.

Retweeted Alex McElroy (@abmcelroy1):
Three easy steps to writing a novel:
- Think of a joke.
- Create a fictional character who might tell that joke.
- Spend next 2-7 years creating a fully-realized fictional world where fictional character will have an opportunity to deliver joke once at a fictional party.
