I also like this question.

A fun follow up is asking a candidate how to compute the 25th and 75th percentiles or more broadly, the n-th percentile.

That's a good point.

Would you personally be in favor of HN being regulated though? I'm not sure if I would.

HN is social media and I think most people recognize that.

It's just that HN is a social media that respects your time and doesn't try to get you addicted. For example, HN has a very useful 'noprocrast' feature and one of the co-founders, pg, has openly worried about HN's addictiveness in the past [0].

So while HN is social media, I feel like it's qualitatively different than other platforms.

What has been causing you stress? (If you don’t mind me asking?)

The top 3 programming books mentioned this year were

1. Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs 2. Clean Code 3. Crafting Interpreters

Also, it’s quite fascinating how often fiction books were recommended! I wouldn’t’ve expected that on HN.

Favorited for next time I make a resume - thanks for making this! Hopefully I’ll never have to touch LaTeX ever again.

Thanks for this comment tick_tock :)

After reading this, I did some research and learned a lot. I never really considered that, by including many things under the same domain, that you're increasing your blast radius w.r.t security vulernabilites. Thanks for that

I get so much decision fatigue when choosing a course series on YouTube. On every technical topic, there are like 15 people making courses anywhere from 10 minutes to 10 hours.

I recently bought a course on the Spring Boot from codewithmosh. Despite spring boot being a dry subject, it was probably the best intro backend course I’d ever taken!

Reminds me of the legendary flow chart "How to measure things like a Canadian": https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinfuriating/comments/18xbabx/...

> For example, the "Headingley Gaol" near Winnipeg.

Fellow Winnipeger here! I remember driving by that sign as a kid and being baffled by that word.

Haha don’t sweat it dude. Happens to literally everyone on HN.

I'm no javascript framework expert, but how vulnerable do people estimate other frameworks like Angular, Sveltekit and Nuxt to be to this sort of thing? Is React more disposed to be at risk? Is it just because there are more eyes on React due to its popularity?

I think on HN, people generally want the submission's title to match the page's title.

(I do agree it's clickbait-y though)

What people miss is that vibe coding actually is coding, except the code are your prompts and the LLM is the compiler.

The problem here is that human languages are terrible programming languages and LLMs are terrible compilers.

You've stated in a previous comment that non-US citizens can be denied entry to the United States if border officers request access to your phone and you decline to do so.

... but what about when non-US citizens leave the US?

For example, as a Canadian, if I'm down in the US and, on my way back up to Canada, a US border officer requests access to my phone and I decline... what happens then?

In 2015, when I started my CS degree, Java was still the first language we learned.

Just FYI, the title of your post should be 'Ask HN: ', not 'Ask YN: '.
