I read the article as saying it ignores all upper-bounds, and 4.0 is just an example. I could be wrong though - it seems ambiguous to me.

But if we accept that it currently ignores any upper-bounds checks greater than v3, that's interesting. Does that imply that once Python 4 is available, uv will slow down due to needing to actually run those checks?

He's calculating EV above cost. If you look at the calculation, the first term is -1000 to account for the initial investment. So the final value is tell you that you got back the initial money plus 900 more.

If I understood the article correctly, you can get a feed that isn't moderated by their team. So I'm not sure what your complaint is? That other people can get moderation if they choose to?

I was not trolling, I actually dislike MongoDB aggregation syntax and it seems like PRQL is something that could potentially replace it or go on top. Admittedly I only took a quick glance at PRQL though, so perhaps I misunderstood something or it's not applicable to this case.

There are examples on Mongo's page, eg https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/core/aggregation-pipelin...

eg:

  db.orders.aggregate( [
   // Stage 1: Filter pizza order documents by pizza size
   {
      $match: { size: "medium" }
   },
   // Stage 2: Group remaining documents by pizza name and calculate total quantity
   {
      $group: { _id: "$name", totalQuantity: { $sum: "$quantity" } }
   }
  ] )

Having spent more time in MongoDB aggregations than I'd like to lately, I really wish they'd support this. So much more sensible than the madness they've got going on.

Interesting parallel. I think I'd disagree that it's considered "fine" when company's do it, though.

What the OP describes is basically a version of a "bait and switch" fraud, which is pretty widely illegal and not considered OK by anyone. Although you can find examples where people ride that line pretty closely[1], but even then people think it's bad behavior.

A subtly different thing that's maybe closer to what you're talking about is hiring contractors and then blaming them for problems. A current major example being many of the Amazon-branded delivery trucks that only deliver for Amazon, but when they do something wrong "oh they're a subcontractor, not Amazon's fault!"

So, not sure I agree 100%, but I understand the anger.

[1] For example, this guy that found name-brand USB-C hubs had the same "guts" as cut-rate crap. https://overengineer.dev/blog/2021/04/25/usb-c-hub-madness.h...

>Second, we ask that candidates bring an example of projects they've worked on, starting with ones they led.

Just curious what kind of "example" you'd expect someone to bring? Surely not code samples, since most people will not be legally allowed to show you code from their previous employer.

The way I've done this before is to have them talk you through what they did and why, with some questions probing at an appropriate level of detail. But that's not exactly "bring[ing] an example".
