Devin comes from "dev in chat", a common phrase in livestream chat rooms to signal that the developer of the game or product being showcased was present.
Not sure about the “rude” part. It really depends on the person. But yes, it can get annoying rally fast. Therefore “shitty” indeed. But yeah, I do think it is very cheezy and lazy when companies do this. When I talked to someone that worked there, I guess it was because of the hard constant “X” -it would make a better Hollywood movie if they said Artificial. Language. Expanded. Xenomorphic. Amplified. A. L. E. X. A.
Maybe it's just because I haven't managed that kind of money on behalf of an organization, but it seems like you would get super paranoid about that aspect of things: spread your money between multiple banks, hold low risk assets with capital you don't immediately need, possibly even hold some in a straight up vault.
It really isn’t quite that simple. There are Intersex people who have ambiguous genitalia and there are several viable chromosome combos besides XX and XY.
In sexually dimorphic mammalian species sex is most commonly by the ability to produce either the small or big gametes, not chromosomes.
In humans syndromes that lead to ambiguous (“intersex”) presentation and/or chromosomes are still operating in a binary system, eh Klinefelter affects boys.
The same is true for (very) rare hermaphroditism: in this case both gametes could in theory be produced, in practice though individuals are sterile.
Those are birth defects though. For instance, we still understand humans as being bipedal despite anomalies that prevent a tiny fraction of humans from being bipedal.
`XXY` is a valid combination of sex chromosomes. The person has two `X` chromosomes so is female. The person also has one `Y` chromosome so is male. Which sex is the person? Is it a birth defect?
XXY is Klinefelter syndrome. By definition it's a condition where boys and men are born with an extra X chromosome. Their sex is male because, also by definition, the presence of a Y chromosome means male.
Using accurate information? Not ignoring the complexities of the world?
That comment is absolutely correct; to make things more confusing, people whose sex appears female can turn out to have XY allosomes in some, or all[0], of their cells.
From your own link Morris syndrome affects males. In fact, the presence of a Y chromosome by definition means the person is of male sex and it really is as simple as that. One's appearance has no effect on their sex.
If most of your candidates cannot answer the question, but you would still hire them I would drop the question. Knowledge of when to use an index is more valuable than the specific mechanics of how the index is implemented.
When I want to test database knowledge, I usually give the candidate a simple database schema and ask them to write progressively harder SQL queries. Database modeling questions are also good for teasing out the seniority of a candidate as well.
Not all interview questions are about eliminating candidates, you want to rank them as well. If all 5 candidates are roughly equal but one knows much more about databases then they are the one that gets hired.
Childcare is substantially more expensive and the public schools are not very good. You almost have to put your child in private school, and you are looking at $20k-$30k/year/child. The city is not very kid friendly in general.
