Is it? If you're doing low-level stuff maybe, but I really haven't done much of that so I'm not even sure I know what you mean by "extending" an array (presumably has something to do with allocating contiguous memory?) and I can't actually think of any situation off the top of my head where I would ever need "the last index + 1" what with array methods existing and all.
I wonder if it has something to do with a cultural perception of how life and the world in general is perceived. As in, "He's currently experiencing his first year of life" vs. "He has lived for one year", kind of "the journey" vs. "the destination". Seeing the present more than looking back the past. In the same line of thinking as "What you're doing" vs. "what you've done", or maybe even "making progress towards goals" rather than "accomplishments".
Seems like a healthier and maybe even more productive way to see the world. I don't know enough about Korea to say whether that has anything at all to do with the way they count ages, but I feel like it's an interesting thought regardless.
I find this line of thinking incredibly bizarre. If PTO is important to the candidate, why should they waste their time spending hours interviewing only to find out that the work-life balance in this position isn't going to work for them? To you that's having their head up their ass? God that's strange to me. I'm sure glad I don't work for people who make sweeping judgements like that.
Employment is a partnership, not servitude. That means the employer needs to convince the employee to work for them. I'm fine being rejected by a place that will treat me like shit.
That's so spot on. Your Q&A session is your chance to learn something real and convey what you care about. A good question might me like "what's the hardest thing you had to do this year" or "how did you make decisions in cases of disagreement?" or something like that. It shows you're thinking about the job and whether you're a right fit.
High quality questions say something about you. Low quality questions do too. Would you ever hire someone whose question is like "so, do a lot of hotties work here?" Probably not, because ... what kind of person is this? Similarly, if the person who doesn't have an offer and doesn't know much about the role is hyper-focused on their time-off, something is off too. PTO is important, it's just a thing you need to be thinking about once you have an offer and think the job is otherwise a match, not as like the #1 question.
Different priorities I guess. Personally I’m exchanging my time for money and would like to know what kind of a deal I’m getting. I’m too old for all the fluff bullshit.
Yes yes yes I’m sure you’re changing the world and creating super exciting CRUD

You know, I actually found this comment clarifying. I don't look at work as solely exchanging time for money (don't get me wrong, I care about money a lot, I just want to get a lot more than money out of my work) so I was coming at it from a different direction.
I do think there's an employee-employer compatibility in play here. Because I care about engagement/mission, I tend to work at companies with a strong culture and seek the same when I interview others - but yeah it's a good reminder that this is not for what everyone wants/needs.
Depends. HR does everything they can to ensure I don't consider the questions I'm asked when deciding if we hire them. They can't stop me, but it is tricky to shoehorn your questions into their form so I don't try.
I mean, that's what they would say isn't it? "Oh no, I accidentally had several squads go out and install industrial-grade loudspeakers in the woods and approved the sending out of forged warning letters to actual residents, oopsie doopsie!" and "Ah those guys weren't supposed to do that grr, sorry we'll tell them to stop!". Like yeah, ok, sure. Regardless, it's more than a little scary, not just that they're intentionally targeting the Canadian public, but that the people doing it are this incompetent. Unless they intended to get caught and that was part of the plan, who knows.
Weird pivot to an unrelated point, but I find it kind of funny that this article is essentially saying the opposite of what you're implying. They noticed these deaths weren't actually from the virus, so they fixed the data. All 7 data points out of however many thousand.
Anecdotally, one of my friends had a small family gathering at some point and everyone got Covid except for the smokers. Could easily be a coincidence given the sample size of like 7 people, but interesting nonetheless.
