I have been job hunting in the last 2 months or so. Thankfully, I am settled with a company I admire now, and it seemed like I had more luck than the average job applicant. But among the handful of companies that I had the pleasure to interview with, I had my fair share of interesting moments.

On null
I've had an interesting conversation on the topic of null over the last few days, spurred by the logical disaster of null.

Genetics and Eugenics in Frank Herbert's DUNE
Observations on Frank Herbert’s 𝐷𝑢𝑛𝑒 series—the notes are probably overstated, the Butlerian Jihad was 𝑛𝑜𝑡 a robot uprising seeking to exterminate humanity, and precognition/prescience in the Dune universe appears to work backwards allowing for retro-causality and stable time-loops as exemplified by Leto II’s Golden…
