Apple maintains servicetalk[1] (java networking framework built on top of netty), so I'm guessing this is one potential JVM framework that was being used.

I have a tv that shipped with Google TV and I've seen this chicken tender advert on it this week.

its now defective. return it.

I think you've shared this on the wrong thread. There's a separate post every month for people looking for new roles. This month's post is: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36573869

> savings kickback

Are you talking about cash back? If so Amex does offer cards that support cash backs (I've had one for quite a few years). If you are talking about savings accounts, Amex also offers a High Yield Savings account whose rates are very competitive with other banks in the US.

Yes, the cash back into a high yield savings account. My wife has it and it’s a great setup

Amex does have products that cover both these use-cases independently, so I'm assuming if Apple-Card indeed moves over to Amex these features won't go away and would instead be fulfilled via Amex savings account + Amex's existing cash back support.

`finally` will also cover scenarios where the an exception is raised from within catch, or if the catch block doesn't handle an exception that's raised in the `try` block.

I've definitely had bad experiences with take home tests, but well-run take home setups can be a lot nicer than phone-screens with live coding.

When I interviewed at my current employer they made it very clear that the take home was meant as a conversation starter, and everyone who gets a take-home made it to the on-site (virtual in this case since its a remote role). This removed the guess work into whether the test will be a waste of time, as there was a guaranteed on-site interview. The test itself was also a more accurate representation of a simpler version of problems that the team was working on, as opposed to a generic algorithm problem.

Overall this was the most positive interview loop I've ever bene through, and was a big factor in making a decision to say yes to the job offer.

I don't work for fly, but I'll say that while the end-user of fly.io isn't expected to run an orchestration system, fly.io themselves runs an orchestration system (nomad from what I can tell), so it seems like a fairly reasonable idea for a take home evaluation for an infrastructure role at the company to evaluate skills/knowledge about orchestration systems.

They posted maybe 6 months ago that they were migrating from Nomad to K8s (and expected it to take a while) so it's possible they're not on Nomad anymore.

I would be _shocked_ if they moved to K8s.

I must have misremembered, they did say they're moving away from nomad in https://fly.io/blog/a-foolish-consistency/

edit: And here they say they're replacing nomad with their own thing: https://fly.io/jobs/platform-engineering/

The new thing is `flyd`. I'm writing a blog post about it, right after I write a blog post about our inscrutable hiring process.

We would sooner all eat a bug.

That sounds like a problem with GRPC not protobufs.

For python there is https://github.com/ezyang/expecttest which is modeled after the OCaml expect test library.

I don’t think this is quite correct. https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artIII-S3-C2-... for further reading, but non citizens owe temporary allegiance to the United States while residing within US, and can be charged with treason.
