Using a combination of a logographic and two syllabic systems of writing, it requires substantially more entries in a character code table to adequately store all of the characters which you might conceivably see in everyday life in Japanese.
Compare this to the Latin alphabet, where you can store things very nicely in seven bits (plus one for parity), or six bits if you're willing to get rid of those redundant miniscules and those pesky punctuation marks. And if we occasionally have difficulty working out how words like "synecdoche" or "slough" should be pronounced, that's just the price we pay for having a language which can easily be used in the terminal (because, of course, that's where all real programmers ply their trade).<|eor|><|eols|><|endoftext|> | 21 |

>And the truth is: If you're not in academia doing research all the wheels you ever need are already invented
At work we needed a fuzzy substring search function, so we slapped one together using libraries for computing the Levenshtein distance, and for working with ngrams. It was slow as fuck because the ngram library didn't give us a way to cache Levenshtein distances, so it kept running into unnecessary O(n\^2) problems. I got really sick of this, so without being an academic I did my fucking job and reinvented the wheel to solve the obvious problem.
Later I revisited the problem because I realized it could be solved linearly by using locality sensitive hashes instead of Levenshtein distances. This made it approximately 800,000x faster than the original program, and it was spookily accurate. For example, one time it correctly identified that the name "Elliott" was actually a really bad OCR of the word "accountant".
What I'm saying here is fuck this guy. You can almost always make a specialized solution for your problem that is better than some generic solution, and you don't have to be an academic weenie to do it.

Proggit has gone a similar direction in recent years. At least on HN when you're reading the dumbest comment you've seen in weeks you can tell the user has some measure of experience in the field, if only as a leetcode grinder in their first year of Uni. Proggit comment sections attract random users from across the site and certain keywords guarantee a thread filled with nonsensical garbage from users who've never written a line of code in their lives. Or worse, the tech bros/gamers who vastly overestimate their understanding of software just because they built their own PC and know what Linux is.

Your approach is correct (in regards to the candidate, not your son), but its not as efficient. But you get the benefit of my experience.
If I may be overtly magnanimous, skip the first bit -- telling them you are doing a whiteboard activity is counterproductive. You want to provide as little, or better misleading, context as possible. People think better under stress and are less likely to challenge you in a thoughtful and constructive manner.
Secondly, you wrote "when a candidate comes in". Why wait? Start before they arrive so they wonder if they were late or there was some miscommunication. That self-doubt is this best starting place for proper evaluation -- which should never be done on a footing equal or above the footing on which one evaluates themselves; this is fundamental to cultivating a proper self-image. Plus, if you do eventually hire them, you've started out with an expectation that *you* will wait on *them*.
Remember the hiring process instills behavioural patterns that persist through out the entirety of the employee lifecycle, and thus forms the bedrock of your company's culture. Use this opportunity wisely by focusing on the core of good corporate culture: i.e. *boundaries are not for the workplace*.<|eor|><|eols|><|endoftext|> | 23 |

Then without eliciting any feedback from the candidate, dismiss them.
The next day, make the candidate a financially attractive offer. If they accept it, don't hire them. If they decline with stated reason being the poor quality of your whiteboarded code, explain it was all a ruse, and make them a genuine offer--for obviously less money than the fake offer.
If multiple candidates pass this test, pick the one who engaged the least during the ruse. Ideally you want someone who simply leaves the building before you finish on the whiteboard having never said a word.
That's how you get quality people.<|eor|><|sor|>I don't really get it. You mean you just let them sit watching you code on whiteboard?<|eor|><|sor|>Yes, I see the scale of my generosity garners disbelief, but I assure you it's as true as anything written on pcj.<|eor|><|eols|><|endoftext|> | 8 |

>And the truth is: If you're not in academia doing research all the wheels you ever need are already invented
At work we needed a fuzzy substring search function, so we slapped one together using libraries for computing the Levenshtein distance, and for working with ngrams. It was slow as fuck because the ngram library didn't give us a way to cache Levenshtein distances, so it kept running into unnecessary O(n\^2) problems. I got really sick of this, so without being an academic I did my fucking job and reinvented the wheel to solve the obvious problem.
Later I revisited the problem because I realized it could be solved linearly by using locality sensitive hashes instead of Levenshtein distances. This made it approximately 800,000x faster than the original program, and it was spookily accurate. For example, one time it correctly identified that the name "Elliott" was actually a really bad OCR of the word "accountant".
What I'm saying here is fuck this guy. You can almost always make a specialized solution for your problem that is better than some generic solution, and you don't have to be an academic weenie to do it. Just pay attention to how your data behaves and what operations you're doing most often.<|eor|><|sor|>You're the 0.1xer the OP is complaining about. A 10x dev would `npm isntall` a library and knock out nine more stories in the time it took you to build your wheel.<|eor|><|sor|>So you're telling me that all developers, and I'm assuming this works, can be replaced by `npm install *`?<|eor|><|eols|><|endoftext|> | 8 |

That's an easy and reliable way to reduce costs. I don't understand why they didn't think about it.<|eor|><|eols|><|endoftext|> | 107 |
