Last year, I graduated with a CS degree, two internships, and a portfolio I was genuinely proud of.

I thought I’d done everything right:

Interned at recognizable companies

Maintained a solid GPA

Shipped real side projects with actual users

Polished portfolio and GitHub contributions

Applied consistently, tailored resumes, followed up

Result? 100+ applications → 30 interviews → 0 offers. Lots of ghosting. Lots of “you’re great, but...” And a creeping feeling that the whole system was more noise than signal.

I got tired of waiting for permission, so I built something for myself and others in the same spot.

Woberry: A lightweight tool for devs navigating the job hunt

What it does:

Helps build tailored resumes + cover letters (fast)

Tracks every application, follow-up, and status

Keeps job search data organized without spreadsheets

Designed to help you stay focused, not overwhelmed

It’s simple, bootstrapped, and built entirely from my own job-hunting frustration.

I launched it quietly 1-2 months ago. Since then, it’s grown to a few thousand active users — and I’m now making my first real dollars online.

You seem to have lost the plot a bit. In several locations, it is illegal for women to get certain health care. There are parties out there that are very interested in policing those policies. To prove that, it doesn't matter where they get the tracking data as long as they can prove your location. If someone needs a warrant/subpoena to get the data from a cell carrier or some app developer it doesn't matter to the person being persecuted for seeking health care.

That's another issue I have with this article. It lists the risks, but does not provide any specific well documented examples. It (and many others privacy related) does not try to quantify them either. Driving a car, flying a plane pose risks too. Yet milions of people take the risk daily. Jumping from 10th floor is also risky and here somehow most peoply don't try it. People intuitively can evaluate the risks on their own and ultimately you cannot do that for them. If examples of negative consequences of their data being sold start appearing, they will stop using these apps by themselves. But I personaly think these risks are blown out of proportion.

10g is going to remain sufficient for office use for a long time.

Ultra Ethernet will be primarily for cluster/AI/Super computing, trading, server, and backplane scenarios where high speed low-latency throughput turns into money or bang for your buck.

Debbie in accounting will practically never need more than 10g networking to do her job.

I came here to say this as well.

I don't know why public transit nerds can't accept that their preferences are wildly unpopular with the American public at large, why they can't understand that public transit is a substandard option for anyone who isn't a single, healthy individual of limited means in a relatively urban area (which in case it's not clear, is a tiny percentage of the US population), or why they ignore that almost every human on Earth chooses to buy a private vehicle as soon as they can afford it.

I grew up in a town called Seymour, which is in the same county as Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge. It's Dolly country. She's a hero - she's done so much for her community. Much of the money you spend at Dollywood goes to help so many public causes. One of them is the Imagination Library, which gives out free books every month from birth to 5 years of age. I was one of the first families that got to take a part in it. I certainly don't remember much from when I was 5, but I do remember getting those books. I imagine it had a positive impact on my growth.

We'd go to Dollywood a few times a year - she would give out free tickets to people who worked in Gatlinburg to go. It's really well run, and their water park is great too. Growing up, we'd ride the train when we visited. While I didn't appreciate it much as a kid, when I grew up I realized how awesome of an opportunity that was.. I moved away from Tennessee about 12 years ago, one of the biggest things I have missed is Dollywood and their big steam train.

again, and this may really just be sophistry but it deserves acknowledgment, I wanna zoom in on the phrase "the rest of his life"

Let me be clear: I understand the difference and I agree with you. The reality is that a transplant would probably be a lot of work and suffering and I can definitely understand opting out of it. All three of the grandparents I actually got to meet ended up doing this same math and getting the same result: sometimes life-extending care isn't worth what you have to go through to get the extension of life. I guess what I'm interested in playing with here is the language we use to abstract the reality, and how it doesn't really hold up once death is accepted. Treatment is a commitment. So is dying. Treatment will go on for the rest of his life. Without treatment, dying will go on for the rest of his life. A lot of the things we do and ways we look at things assume that dying is

1) very far off 2) to be avoided at all costs

If either of these things becomes untrue the calculus we do to determine reasonable courses of action goes flying out the window. Neither of these things is true for this person, but it's true for all (for a given value of all) of us trying to talk about it and I see throughout the thread this interesting disconnect that basically boils down to people saying "You can't kill yourself! You'll die!"

We forked the actions as a submodule, and then pointed the uses to that directory.

That way we were still tracking the individual commits which we approved as a team.

Now there is interesting dichotomy. On one hand PMs want us to leverage GitHub Actions to build out stuff more quickly using pre-built blocks, but on the other hand security has no capacity or interest to whitelist actions (not to mention that the whitelist list is limited to 100 actions as per the article).

That said, even tagging GitHub actions with a sha256 isn't perfect for container actions as they can refer to a tag, and the contents of that tag can be changed: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/sharing-automations/creat...

E.g. I publish an action with code like

runs: using: 'docker' image: 'docker://optionoft/actions-tool:v3.0.0'

You use the action, and pin it to the SHA of this commit.

I get hacked, and a hacker publishes a new version of optionoft/actions-tool:v3.0.0

You wouldn't even get a Dependabot update PR.

It's really top-shelf. Haven't enjoyed a book of this kind since 'Crafting Interpreters.'

There's added bonuses too--the author evidently is quite a skilled C++ programmer, so there's all sorts of little modern-cppisms in there that I was ignorant of as someone that's only ever written the language as a hobbyist.

> For starters Junior engineers can be held accountable. What we see currently is people leaving gaping holes in software and then pointing at the LLM which is an unthinking tool. Not the same.

This is no different than, say, the typical anecdote of a junior engineer dropping the database. Should the junior be held accountable? Of course not - it's the senior's fault for allowing that to happen at the first place. If the junior is held accountable, that would more be an indication of poor software engineering practices.

> More closely to the issue at hand this is assuming the “senior” dev isn’t just using an LLM as well and doesn’t know enough to critique the output.

This seems to miss the point of the analogy. A senior delegating to a junior is akin to me delegating to an LLM. Seniors have delegated to juniors long before LLMs were a twinkle in Karpathy's eye.

Someone who is determined enough to go through several years of doctor shopping to kill themselves will find a way to kill themselves whether there are assisted death programs or not.

I agree that those (hypothetical) people need help. Though, to be honest, I'm not really convinced this is a real issue. Some of these programs have been around for multiple decades, and I've not seen any evidence that there is a pattern of abuse. Let alone the programs being apparently "ripe for abuse".

Disallowing assisted death programs is not help, though. It is a punishment to people who deserve a death of dignity instead of months or years of unbearable suffering.

If abuse of the medical system is a concern of yours, I feel like a much more prominent cause ( millions more preventable deaths) worth fighting is over-prescription of opiates. That's just my opinion, though. (And, for all I know, you're already fighting that fight too. If so, godspeed)

this hole goes 5km out of 6.378km. So 0.1% of the way. Even if we drilled all over the surface (and see floor) it would make very little difference. There is just a lot of Earth and the heat conducts very slowly.

Atmosphere on the other hand is very thin and mostly concentrated close to surface (half is under 5km) so it's much easier for humans to fuck it up

Don't see anything "tough" here.

At least in academia, if PI takes credit for student's work and does not list them as co-author, it's considered widely unethical. The rules there are simple - someone contributed to the text, they get onto the author list.

If we had same same rule for blogs - "this post is authored by fho and ChatGPT" - then I'd be completely satisfied, as this would be sufficient AI disclosure.

As for industry, I think the rules are very different place-by-place. In some places the authorship does not even come up - the slide deck/document can contain copies from random internet sites, or some previous version of the doc, and the reference will only be present if there is a need (say to lend an authority)

Uhm ... so if you read right wing conservative media, all mainstream media lie. Yeah, totally.

What we see in mainstream media is constant whitewashing and sane washing of Trump. Constant excuses for conservatives and for republicans. But it is never enough for you, they should also lie about harm your policies are causes.

So, yes, doctors are afraid to perform life saving procedures and conservatives applaud it.

> We constantly anticipate what happens to us in "the future", approximately, and where the farther future is predicted progressively less exactly

There's then evidence of what's called Predictive Coding. When that future happens, a higher level circuit decides how far off we were, and then releases appropriate neuromodulators to re-wire that circuit.

That would mean that to learn faster, you want to expose yourself to situations where you are often wrong: be often surprised and go down the wrong paths. Have a feedback mechanism which will tell you when you're wrong. This is maybe also why the best teachers are the ones who often ask the class questions for which there are counter-intuitive answers.

"Being mad" at deportations in and of itself isn't the problem. It's getting to a place, mentally, where you feel that other Americans holding a position in any way contrary to your own can only be insane and/or evil.

Something shattered after 9/11 and especially after Occupy Wall Street, where Americans went from vigorous disagreement over policy implementations despite a common culture (Monday Night Football and apple pie, etc...) to constantly "othering" what should be an in-group identity and painting people as evil incarnate.

If nothing else, I hope AI finally forces a re-evaluation of copyright and patent law. They're supposed to exist to make it possible for a small company or an individual to innovate and be able to compete with massive corporations.

Instead, they've become a brutal sledgehammer in which massive companies and rights holders can entrench their dominance and enrich themselves forever in a way that a smaller entity has almost no hope of competing with.

I think there's two 'poles' here--'good' in terms of feature rich, sure, there's loads of it.

'good' as in performant--an area that game dev types (rightly, IMO) criticize and harp on? There's far less of it, video games aside.

Think of the perceivable slowness of many web application you use daily, Windows 11's, well, everything UI-related, etc.

Hell, my 3 year old iPhone can't scroll Uber Eats at 60fps consistently. Is 'Uber eats' 'good'? From a functionality standpoint, yeah, of course. But is displaying a list of images and text and expecting it to scroll smoothly too much to ask?

Software can be 'good' in terms of functionality offered and 'bad' at the same time, depending on your perspective.

IIRC I think Mr Fleury has a background in game-dev, so his perspective is totally understandable. Modern games are remarkable feats of software.

I remember Google getting rid of a large part of it's Assistant team at the same time Amazon laid off a large part of its Alexa team ~18 months ago. You can even read the "is Amazon closing down Alexa?" rumours in that time.

It's pretty clear that LLMs with action hooks were going to take over from the old bespoke request->response methods so i guess they were trying to make sure there was no old guard holding on in the changeover. Only just now are the Alexa+ and Google home Gemini integrations becoming available to pick up where they dropped off in 2023.

Apple had a few Siri layoffs but it seemed to keep the ship steady. It'll be interesting to see which was the better long term approach though.

First of all, it is very interesting to see how others expect to plan their vacation.

Previously, I had made a travel app for myself, however, it was different. The main feature was around the map and locations, with a necessary list of some POIs. When I was in the city, I used it to see if there was something interesting that I had pre-scouted not far from my location.

From the technical side, I took a look into the CSS and was surprised. Some of the CSS I could not even understand (like below), and there were thousands of different colours used hundreds of times. Not sure if it was by design.

grid-template-rows: [header]50px [macroplan]min-content [accommodation]min-content [t0000]var(--row-minute-narrow-height) [te0000 t0001]var(--row-minute-narrow-height) [te0001 t0002]var(--row-minute-narrow-height) ... in loop

I think it is very simple to draw the line at "something that tries to write for you", you know, an agent by definition. I am beginning to realize people simply would prefer to manage, even if the things they end up managing aren't actually humans. So it creates a nice live action role-play situation.

A better name for vibecoding would be larpcoding, because you are doing a live action role-play of managing a staff of engineers.

Now not only even a junior engineer can become a manager, they will start off their careers managing instead of doing. Terrifying.

Wait, you renamed Forge (https://forge.dev) released last week by World Labs, a startup that raised $230M.

Is this "I worked with some friends and I hope you find useful" or is it "So proud of the World Labs team that made this happen, and we are making this open source for everyone" (CEO, World Labs)?

I wouldn't try to automate the DB part, but much like the protobufs code is generated from a spec, you can generate other parts from a spec. My current company has a schema repo used for both API and kafka type generation.

This is a case where a monorepo should be a big advantage, as you can update everything with a single change.

Looks like it does support 1G1R with the --single option and can infer parent/clone information if it's not provided, like with redump DATs. You could also use retool to create a DAT with that information based on your preferences, but as you said that's probably not viable longterm since retool is no longer maintained.

Well GNOME is a bit of an oddball in the Linux userland world and everyone knows it. They have a "my way or the highway" type attitude to everything they do, and all the pros and cons that come with that. On one hand, they're able to achieve a development velocity and quality that a lot of other full-featured desktop environments cannot. On the other hand, users can perceive regressions in features and choice.

I think, if this is a surprise to anyone, they're not really paying attention. If you want GNOME you go along for the ride, and that's the message we've all gotten for the past 10 years. This same conversation keeps coming back up.

Just use KDE or something else if that's not an experience you, or other's, want. Personally, I despise GNOME, so problem solved for me. But, we have these conflicting takes where people will complain about fragmentation on Linux and then also complain about monocultures like GNOME. That's the experience GNOME very clearly wants to give, so if that's bad to you, then don't use it. And, on a distro level, maintainers can decide if they want to ship GNOME or if they want to make it the default.

AI has been trained on pirated material and that would be very different from someone buying books and reading them and learning from them. Right now it's still up to the courts what counts as infringing but at this point even Disney is accusing AI of violating their copyrights https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/11/business/media/disney-uni...

AI outputs copyrighted material: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/01/25/business/ai-i... and they can even be ranked by the extent to which they do it: https://aibusiness.com/responsible-ai/openai-s-gpt-4-is-the-...

AI is getting better at data laundering and hiding evidence of infringement, but ultimately it's collecting and regurgitating copyrighted content.

> The federal government has made a lot of noise about using AI lately, with the Trump administration and DOGE pushing for its adoption and trying to eliminate state-level regulations, while government agencies increasingly adopt it to replace employees eliminated in widespread layoffs and rely on it for critical decision making.

Why, I'm old enough to remember when the GOP was for "State's Rights" and against "Big Government". These moves are a federal government a.k.a. autocratic, centralized takeover of the entire country.

And GOP legislators are furiously wagging fingers at trillion dollar deficits while granting more centralized power to the executive branch, including power over the judicial system. (i.e. encumbering suits with burdensome costs)

AI is just the latest, coolest weapon in the holster.

The world turned upside down.

Dolly's amusement parks company Herschend took over operations of Kentucky Kingdom and it has been very interesting watching the care being put into that park, especially with comparison to when it was managed by Six Flags. Kentucky Kingdom is not yet "Dollywood North" by any stretch of imagination, but you can see enough of the care and emphasis on friendliness that you can kind of see the expected trajectory at this point. I've found it encouraging to watch.

yeah i’m less upset about it now, i just want them to deliver something that works. I agree with that. But their entire product launch was confusing and i’d be embarrassed if i was apple.

Normal people (not techies) see software updates that mention “apple intelligence”, they update, and then everything looks almost the same lol. It’s SO confusing and the average person thinks siri is still garbage.

This topic comes up every holiday i kid you not. An aunt or uncle asks “why does siri still suck?” It gets a bit old.

They need clear and concise product messaging explaining what apple intelligence is, and what is coming soon for siri. Because clearly apple see’s those things as completely different, but complimentary to the same goal.

> I love Disney and I love Dolly Parton, but it says something deeply broken about our national priorities when their theme park trains outclass public infrastructure in billion-dollar economies. Be serious

Reducing public transit to an unserious/unreal thing is the point.

People who live in car-bound places (most of America) visit theme parks like Disney's where a big part of the novelty is the make-believe urban walkability and transit (i.e. Disney's "Main Street"), creating the belief that such things are fantasy (tied to the rest of Disney's make-believe world) rather that something quite normal that people in much of the urban world experience (minus the dancing anthropomorphic mice).

Essentially, what is pretty normal elsewhere is repackaged as fantasy in the US.

Are Dollywood/Disney part of some great conspiracy to undermine walkability and transit in the US? No, but they sure as heck know that people feel better in that kind of human-scale environment, and they are fundamentally in the business of making people feel better via escapism.

Sure, long term that would probably drive or lock a lot of customers to them and make them not bother about ChatGPT anymore. However, Amazon might have a lot of compute, but I'm not sure if it's enough to enable every Alexa speaker with state of the art conversational AI. OpenAI and Google constantly have to screw with the rate limits to satisfy demand.

To be completely fair to Gnome, they're doing some stuff that nobody else is doing. The idea of building an entire desktop off the backs of C and the gobject system is very novel and gives Gnome a lot of advantages. For example, it had binding for just about every language under the sun. Compare that to KDE and Qt, which is C++ or bust.

Obviously it's a bit hacky and kind of a mess, but it is technically interesting.

there's some insinuation that Hal's biological father could be the medical attache: -- Hal's "atavistically dark-complected” -- they share an interest in byzantine erotica -- from what i remember, dates and ages line up correctly to put Avril and attache both attending Brandeis a yearish before Hal is born -- there's a reference or two to James finding that specific affair particularly upsetting -- Avril's said to have a preference for sleeping with Canadians -- the attache is "one-half ethnic Arab and a Canadian by birth and residence"

so Hal could potentially be 1/4 "near-eastern"

Hey, the website on your profile is broken.

Btw I did exactly that! I cut (literally) a cheap keyboard at the numpad boundary. Installed AHK (Windows) which runs macros on button click.

Postits to label each button.

Now I have one of those fancy few-button keyboards that do my bidding.

I've been meaning to post it. Would that be interesting?
