> I'm in a hiring position, and I would blacklist any candidate that wasted my time like this.

> It's childish and just adds to the current state of Gen Z making it impossible to hire them (and then complaining they can never find a job).

This is an unacceptable interviewing posture. As a Bar Raiser (or whatever your equivalent is) with authority over interview standards and interviewer eligibility, I’d pull you from loops for retraining. Repeat it, and you’re removed from interviewing.


Ha. Spoken like a faang employee

Training for interviewing? Nah let’s throw you in there and vibe it out


I seriously doubt you have any say in hiring anywhere. Nobody actually hiring would respond like this.

..and retraining? Lol

Candidates that are a no show after many interviews should definitely be blacklisted for a set amount of time.

The USPS, for instance, will blacklist you for 5 years for this behavior.


The rise of retro computing and gaming is wonderful thing.


MiSTer has been a huge boon for me in terms of saving space and having access to old computers. I have it in an old pizza box case and connected to my old IBM CRT monitor.

I have a modern mouse and mechanical keyboard, but I tried to make everything as beige as possible...


You can blame the EU for that, not Apple.


No you should absolutely blame apple for that. They fear to lose their monopoly and want to set an example for other countries.

Please make it not ad hominem. That gets old quite quickly.

If the facts are clear please show them. Show the fact that the EU made the decision to not have this feature instead of apple.


> Show the fact that the EU made the decision to not have this feature instead of apple.

It is thanks to EU regulations, which are literal facts in front of us. That’s why the feature isn’t shipped in the EU, because of EU’s own choices. At this point it’s clear you’d rather ignore that, so no reason to keep engaging. One last time: this is on the EU, not Apple.


> One last time: this is on the EU, not Apple.

No, its on Apple, for being anti-competitive.


I can't follow the line of your argument here.

You state that I am ignoring the facts, and you counter with an tautology?

Sorry but thats just fighting with dirty arguments.

You can proof me wrong very easily: Look up the Regulations and check where they disallows such a product on the market.

If it's written there then I am wrong and I will take the loss.


Which facts? Do you have some facts that explain why Apple did this move? Because all the facts I know of paint a picture of Apple throwing a massive tantrum at any kind of consumer protection rulings they might be subject to. They would ABSOLUTELY make their products worse in the EU to make uninformed voters and consumerist victims blame the very government agencies protecting them.

This feature happens on the phone, not the AirPods. There is no reason at all why this shouldn't be available in the EU, except the consumer friendly need to provide the API for the feature to other device manufacturers.


One last time: this is on the EU, not Apple. The feature works everywhere else. You’re mixing up feelings with facts, and it shows in this rant. Take a breather.


This is because Apple doesn't want to compete in a way that is considered fair in the EU. Fortunately we don't let companies set the rules here.


You’re free to have that feeling but that’s not the facts.


Like I agree it’s anti-competitive, but it’s not Apple that’s making it illegal in Europe.

It’s alike Chinese cars that are being made and used everywhere, but cannot be imported to US because of huge tariffs that was put by the government. So it’s the government that’s blocking the citizens from the access to the product.


I'm still sad what they did to the Mailbox app...

Honestly glad to see this has sparked larger talks about this again. Surprised to see Valve is just now getting impacted by this.


If Arch is too "inconvenient" as a daily driver, you might find yourself more at "home" on a Windows install instead.


Well, Arch has (historically) been rather difficult to install from scratch, and requires a lot of Linux knowledge to get up-and-running as a daily driver. If one is installing it for the first time and misses something (which audio backend?), it can be rather frustrating down the line.

There is a reason Ubuntu is usually the first distro new Linux users go to. For almost a decade now, installing a feature-complete Ubuntu setup is not much more difficult than reimaging Windows.


It's always a great way to get a better understanding of things but at least just poking around assembly a bit once. You do not have to make a project or anything big, but do not be afraid to check it out.


I would imagine that ARM1 would be more approachable than just about anything else.

I understand that there were only 14 different instructions in the original design.

"The 386 has about 140 different instructions, compared to a couple dozen in the ARM1 (depending how you count)."

(oh no this was on the wrong comment and alas past the delete window ha).


I don't understand how this is related, can you explain?


Hah oh my this was on the wrong HN article I had open. Thank you so much for kindly pointing that out.
