The first discussion got flagged, probably because the source article was badly sourced and had too little detail. It didn't mention visas for example.

'Show HN' from new accounts need an existing user to 'vouch' (there's a button/link for those users). I vouched now.

'Developer Voices' https://www.developervoices.com/ probably fits " in-depth conversations with the smartest developers in the industry."

Recently saw https://aolunderground.com/ on HN ("Interviews with hackers and staff of America Online (AOL), covering the 90’s/Early 2000’s."), but haven't listened yet.

HN admins: can the domain extractor be changed to say "world.hey.com/dhh" here instead of just the domain name? From what I see, Hey World is a blogging platform, similar to Medium but markdown and email based. And the username (blog name) is in the second part of the URL.

Best to email the moderators (link in footer). I've made similar suggestions about other blogging platforms and got a positive reply.

I don't think booking.com has still noscript/basic (x)html interop supporting email address with ip literals (for self-hosted people).

If the case, this dominant online service should be regulated(Trump like? namely tariff?) to restore such interop.

Do many websites support email address with ip literals? john@12.34.56.78 ? I haven't seen such email addresses in years.

mtmail commented on Ask HN: What's your take on companies that send technical test before interview? · Posted by u/shadowjones

mtmail · 25 days ago

Our company had this 15 years. Even sending a questionnaire would get less than 50% replies, tech questions or small asks "write a script which ..." much less replied. It's a filter. Goal was to filter out those candidates who apply to 100 companies per week, sometimes automated. See it as second or third step in a process. It's not against you personally, you're competing with dozens, with AI tools these days might be 100s, of low quality applications hitting the same email inbox.
