Roko's Basilisk only begins to make sense as a concern if you have already taken it as a given that sufficiently advanced AI would be capable of literally resurrecting the dead. If you do not think this is plausible -- and, seriously, why would you? -- it's about as spooky as someone telling you not to step on a crack lest you break your mama's back.

If you can't distinguish between those two types of people by asking additional questions about their design, are you capable of accurately evaluating them in the first place?

Leetcode isn't fair game either. It's a despicable practice.

The problem you're asking them to solve is a legal one, but you are not interviewing lawyers. I have never worked for a single employer that didn't require an NDA, and the NDAs are always written in a way that can be easily interpreted as "do not tell anyone anything about what you do here".

A title not precisely describing the premise and conclusion of the article is neither misleading nor clickbait. The article is about online anonymity. It could be "On being anonymous" or "To be anonymous"; "Be anonymous" is fine, too.

At that point the Wayland ecosystem is hopefully mature enough to make the switch less painful than it is now. I don't see anyone saying they'd rather toss their computer in the garbage than ever use Wayland, just that it doesn't currently meet their needs.

This was so predictable, though, considering how slow and painful it was to get to even the current level of standardization and interoperability in the Xorg+Freedesktop world. I have to assume that part of the reason is that solving the problems Wayland solves is exciting and fun (and addresses the most obvious pain points with Xorg/X11), but building the rest of the ecosystem is less exciting and doesn't draw as much focus and engineering effort.

This is my guess. Since it uses cartridges and a single screen, there's nothing stopping them from selling a version which is a single smaller unit with better battery life but without TV/local multiplayer capabilities.
