The Meta Interview
I prepared for the interview like crazy, refreshing my knowledge of all the trendy Silicon Valley buzzwords, like "quantum" and "default mode network."
The algorithm question was a bit silly — something only a trendy FAANG company could propose with a straight face: "Write a program that generates text like the lyrics of 'Girls and Boys' by Blur and outputs a chain of 'X who likes Y who likes Z' up to an arbitrary depth."
Girls who want boys
Who like boys to be girls
Who do boys like they're girls
Who do girls like they're boys
— "Girls and Boys," Blur, 1994
It seemed surprisingly tailored to a Prolog implementation. Defining a few logical relations would provide far more functionality than initially asked for, thanks to Prolog's math-powered rollback algorithm.
I weighed the risk of being considered a snob, but went ahead and asked to use Prolog.
The interviewer seemed pleasantly surprised, almost eager to give me the job on the spot. He mentioned he actually knew someone on that floor who was a Prolog expert.
Five minutes later, a tech bro walked in, half his shirt untucked and wearing a pair of Ray-Bans. My interviewer introduced him as Chad, the Prolog expert. He left us alone so Chad could properly assess my skills...

!codecels Apologize if this isn't the best hole or ping group
I'm hoping there's an easy resource that would go over your resume like the HR shit would and tell you if it can't automatically fill out your info? Or if there are any other similar problems?

This is a follow-up in part to the drama surrounding the WhitePeopleTwitter ban that occurred on February 3rd, 2025 after the personal info of DOGE staffers was published in that sub, as well as the bans on X links that were enforced in multiple subreddits at the time following Elon Musk's Nazi salute.
\_\_\_\_\_\_
What was known at the time was that, on February 3rd, Musk retweeted another X account's screenshot showing death threats being made against DOGE staffers in a WhitePeopleTwitter post, replying: "They have broken the law". That in turn was screen-shotted and posted to WhitePeopleTwitter.
That same day, the user who made the DOGE post was suspended, the thread was deleted, and the entire subreddit was banned for three days with the message:
\_\_\_\_\_\_
Today, an article posted in The Verge by editor Alex Heath reveals the Musk was directly behind the subreddit's ban as well as the removal of the thread and all of its comments (which Heath directly posted an archive link of) that Musk shared on X:
\_\_\_\_\_
The article also says that few Reddit moderators at the time were made aware of Musk's chat with the Reddit CEO, and discussed the matter in Groomercord.
One such moderator implied that Musk also wanted the subreddit bans on X links lifted, after Musk had tweeted about the bans prior to the WhitePeopleTwitter incident:
The lifting of bans on X links, ultimately, did not come to pass:

This came up to me recently, there is a less censored page for hacker news: the "active" page on https://news.ycombinator.com/active which ranks articles by activity instead of rank. It seems to include flagged posts, at least for me (I have an account with enough karma to see dead posts and downmarsey and stuff). This ranking system is a lot more like 4chan or message boards, like bump based. It's not publicly linked on the front page of HN, it's sorta hidden. It's much better for finding drama and engaging in flamewars.

Disclaimer: I don't use Groomercord myself, but my uncle was saying how he really hates this new layout and in particular the way the chat entry box doesn't line up with your status (whatever that means).

We had created 3 phased and then run out of time and therefore left the site open ended. People discussed in forums that there were still level 4.5.6 and 7 to be discovered on the site. The narrative of donniedarko.com has created its own legend. We produced a lot of satellite sites to enhance the online experience - which has become one of our trademarks. So we faked malfunction and received emails to the "Webmaster" which we then answered as characters from the film…
