what do you mean? the agent can't do it anymore if there's no bash permission

It's hilarious that this figure keeps getting quoted with a link to a source that directly contradicts it.

> Armed conflicts have indirect health implications beyond the direct harm from violence. Even if the conflict ends immediately, there will continue to be many indirect deaths in the coming months and years [...] In recent conflicts, such indirect deaths range from three to 15 times the number of direct deaths . Applying a conservative estimate of four indirect deaths per one direct death to the 37 396 deaths reported, it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186 000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza.

The text is not claiming that 200,000 people at the point of publishing have died, it is estimating the number of deaths attributed to the conflict in the coming years.

lisp's syntax is simple - its just parenthesis to define a list, first element of a list is executed as a function.

but for example a language like C has many different syntaxes for different operations, like function declaration or variable or array syntax, or if/switch-case etc etc.

so to know C syntax you need to learn all these different ways to do different things, but in lisp you just need to know how to match parenthesis.

But of course you still want to declare variables, or have if/else and switch case. So you instead need to learn the builtin macros (what GP means by semantics) and their "syntax" that is technically not part of the language's syntax but actually is since you still need all those operations enough that they are included in the standard library and defining your own is frowned upon.

> A skilled interviewer is easily able to ascertain breadth and depth of the candidate's experience [without a coding test]

And yet, many interviewers' experience shows that there are people that would pass a discussion-only interview and fail at basic coding tasks. There's plenty such people holding down jobs for a while, so even that may not be a sure indicator of skill.

> The intentional ambiguity is deceitful. The expected dependence and expected deference is so patronizing and manipulative.

I'm ~1.5years into my first job as a Backend Dev so I can't speak much about the industry, but based on my experience and what I hear from others, asking questions and clarifying unclear requirements is part of the job description. I almost never get my tasks in a precisely defined way and a lot of my job is gathering information and asking the right questions to build the right thing, often making my own choices and judgement calls. I assume that these skills are what GP comment is trying to test.

> They don't really care, nor should they, about your product, or your customers.

You can hardly blame a company for preferring someone who does. Or at least, pretends to.

"Software Engineer" is a pretty commonly used title for programmers

That'd still be a bit too tolerant for my tastes. It should also scan your future commits.

This post is about XSS, not JWTs...

> For security reasons, it is advisable for users to log out from a web application once they have completed their tasks

No, the application should be resistant to XSS instead. Online banking and such are automatically logging out to prevent someone stepping away from the device and another person abusing the logged in session.

> Frequently, when a Logout function is present in the application and is implemented with JSON Web Tokens, the application stores the JWT in an insecure location, such as the JavaScript code itself or the local storage in the user’s browser

This claim is as valid as "Frequently, when a Logout function is present in the application and is implemented without JSON Web Tokens, the application stores the plaintext password in an insecure location". The storage location is completely independent of whether it's a JWT or not.

What things are you talking about? I haven't used chrome outside of work for years, so forgive my ignorance

i like Xitter and Xcrete

I'm definitely NOT attending an interview where this kind of tech is used. My heart rate is irrelevant to whether someone should hire me - and I say that as someone who doesn't even get anxious or nervous during interviews.

In uni, a couple students had those tablet/laptop reverse foldable devices as a fancy notepad, used with a stylus.

too little

"opt-in by default" kinda makes sense as a combination of words, but you're right that people just usually call it "opt-out" (and vice versa)
