MF got elected after saying his son is too educated to date a black woman, in a country with a very large black population. How does anything else he did surprised you? The day he got elected I quit my job and moved to another country.

That would mean Brazil is not a developing nation, but USA is.

I think that the beauty of it is that it is very time-period agnostic

I strongly disagree, Matrix was very much a product of its time, if it had released a decade before or a decade after it would not have had the same impact.

In the 80s as a general rule people didn't know of the internet nor were they very computer savvy.

In the late 00s cellphones started to be ubiquitous and people were using broadband almost exclusively.

So there was only a small period of time when people were familiar with the idea of telephone lines carrying data, which is a core concept of the movie (exiting the Matrix through your cellphone or laptop is a lot less cool and less prone to plot hooks).

Not to mention that the 90s were extremely gothic and grimdark about the future. I don't think a movie that the base premise is in the future humans are enslaved to machines and hooked to a large simulation to keep them from realizing they're slaves would work in any time period besides the 90s.

Forever, unless they start calling it Xcom (which would then be confused with the game) X itself could also mean Xorg (https://x.org) which is a lot older. Not to mention that it looks like someone forgot to remove a placeholder "in the site X, many people talk about..."

Everything HAS to be public, otherwise it couldn't be openly federated. What did he do that people complained?

It scared the shit out of me, but was one of the best decisions I took, on my next job I learned to impose limits from the start.

I managed to find something very soon, but if I were in a similar position nowadays I would first find something new.

I use https://silverbullet.md and love it, it's a bit more than a note taking app, but it's definitely worth it.

And your point is?

In hindsight that should have been enough, but at the time I didn't want to discard a possibly good candidate because of that (reasoning that maybe he had some reason for it). Being subject to SQL injections also is not the end of the world, everyone makes mistakes. Not realizing it even after me pointing the line could also be overlooked as "we need to train this person". But insisting that there isn't even after the interviewer tells you there is, means you don't want to learn, and at that point I can't help you.

As an interviewee it's nothing much, but when they asked me to sort a list, I find that question to be completely pointless, I will never implement a sort IRL, and most people who get it right are because they have it memorized.

As an interviewer, a person who sent their take home as a .doc file inside a zipped folder. I didn't understood why they sent it that way, but got the code to compile, and found very serious issues. When confronting the person they claim there were no issues, which happens so I pointed out at a specific line, and still nothing, I asked them if they knew what an SQL injection was and his answer was "yes, and you're wrong, there's no SQL injection happening there", so I sent him a link for him to click that would call that endpoint on his local instance, and dropped the entire database for the take-home assignment. No need to tell you he wasn't hired.

That is a very logical way of replying to someone telling you you're the sort of person to flip a turtle. In other words, found the replicant.
