Ask HN: How to deal with job search burnout?
I've had a very unsuccessful job search since graduation. Before it, way before I ever was concerned about getting something before graduation, I used to be excited about CS. I would read books, do tech, and many other things. When the job search came, I became depressed, and now finally burned out.

I've had several final interviews with unknown, non-tech companies, but never managed to snag an offer. I worked at a contract job (NodeJS) for 2 months. I keep reading online advice: work on projects and study interviewing problems. The thing is... no one has ever asked me any challenging tech questions in interviews, and no one has asked about my past projects.

My recent interviews:

1) Last week I got a referral from HN for a defense company. I'm waiting to see if they'll proceed to a 2nd interview.

2) Last month, I didn't make it past the 2nd interviewer for a QA role, because the interview thought I wasn't convincing enough to transition to QA from someone with developer experience.

3) Last month, I couldn't make it past a phone screen for a tech startup, because either the recruiter said I stated a too high salary (he didn't let me proceed until I said something): $80k - $90k in NYC, where Glassdoor states the average is $110k; or he got confused and thought I was fired from my 2-month contract (I wasn't; it ended on great terms).

So, I'm terribly burned out. What should I be doing in order to improve my life? CS has been my entire life -- from computer camps (Montclair University, Stevens Insitute, etc.) of playing Starcraft on LAN, to reverse engineering of programs, to weekly installs of Linux distros on high school weekends. I really don't know anything else, and would like rekindle the light. I obviously can't take a vacation. Maybe there's an interesting book or recommended exercise routine.
Not questioning you, since anon might not be your primary driver. However, this reminds of a UK survey in the early 2000's that said some crazy number (50%?) of computer users would give up their password for a candy bar :-)

"Sequencing a genome" usually means coming up with an assembly that's "good enough" for some purposes.

Assembling a genome means fitting together all the raw data of short reads into a larger scaffolding.

A few years ago there was an assessment of many of the current methods here:

http://gage.cbcb.umd.edu/index.html

Since then there's been lots of additional work, but looking through those algorithms you can see what some consider "good enough" to call a genome sequenced.
This situation would never happen though. As soon as Replicators are created, the rich will take full control of the Replicators, and the poor will never be allowed to have them. And with the Replicators, the rich will, again, rule the poor.
So what, you hash each word in the e-mail and search for the hash, and this returns which emails include those hashed words? Would that be horribly insecure? I guess it would be impossible to salt those hashes, and it probably risks defeating the whole crypto.

The point of our service is that chat is persistent. You can scroll back through time and read all the messages you sent. Users are free to delete whatever they sent whenever if they wish, but for almost everyone persistent chat history is a huge feature. Also important to note that as of the numbers we released last July we receive around 40 million messages a day. The public stats released about iMessage suggest that 2 billion messages are sent per day.
+1 for better title.

So I know about Joxa from another HN post related to BEAM based languages. I think that post better represents context for this Lispy-not-Erlang.

I have to say, I really like it, I plan to play more with it, but I think BEAM is solid platform and something I am not jaded with like with JVM, which probably is also excellent platform, just dealing with it /w JRuby soured me for life.

Anyhow, excellent effort, the other Lisp on BEAM LFE is great as well. Off to play with Joxa.

> Some of the ways to look at it is that if providers can sell a fastlane to Netflix they can reduce prices for the consumer. Other arguments that have been advanced include having a fast lane for medical devices or emergency services.

I don't have a problem (with one big reservation) with that PROVIDED that the "fast lane" is faster than the service that the consumer is paying for. For example, supposed I am paying for 20 mbit/second network service from my ISP, and I subscribe to a video streaming service that offers streams at two resolutions. One takes 15 mbit/second and one takes 30 mbit/second. I wish to watch a 2 hour movie stream. Assume that my data cap is high enough that I will not be going anywhere near it.

If the video service wants to pay my ISP to give me 30 mbit/second when I view their higher definition streams, I can see that being OK from a network regulation point of view. (It may not be OK from an antitrust point of view, but that is out of scope).

The lower definition stream, though, is only 15 mbit/second. That's below the 20 mbit/second my IPS sold me, so I'd not be OK with it if the video service had to buy a "fast lane" to make the 15 mbit/second stream work.

For the "fast lane" scenario I described in the first paragraph, where it is faster than the service I'm paying for, I do have one big reservation. There needs to be something in place to ensure that the base service is reasonable. I do not want to see the ISPs advertise their base service as something ridiculously low, like 1 mbit/second, and throttle everything down to that except from sites that have paid for a "fast lane".

The above is also how I would approach "zero rating" and "sponsored data". In summary, these would be my network rules:

1. the ISP must provide the data rate and cap (if any) that the consumer has paid for.

2. The user can use that for whatever they want, with no throttling or blocking by the ISP (other than reasonable network management, such as to deal with congestion).

3. If the ISP wants to provide something beyond what the consumer paid for at no charge to the consumer that's fine, including allowing others to pay the ISP to give the consumer that extra service.

Nobody really wrote software rendering like that beyond CG classes. I'd think author is simplifying for the sake of accessibility but it's actually more complicated than what production renderers did. One could also think it's to show a GPU's internal work, but, again, GPUs don't do this either.

This isn't about legal status. It's Nintendo's well-known bad attitude towards any use of their products that is even slightly outside their intended use.

(Also, copyright is generally civil, not criminal. Copying a copyright protected work shouldn't be described as "illegal" or a crime, but may make you civilly liable for damages.)

>> They always attempt to frame emulators as [...]

For many, many years Nintendo tried to pain emulators as only being used to infringe copyright. They are have been dissembling about emulation (and copyright) for >15 years. "Emulator" is a bad word to Nintendo, far more so than other video game companies.

This is why they called the network downloads on the Wii a "Virtual Console" (it's kind of like the original console, just "virtual"). They claim that the NES Classic "...is a miniaturized version of the groundbreaking NES, originally released in 1985."[1] which implies that they may have something resembling an actual 6502 when it's actually an Allwinner R16 SoC running Linux[2] and a software NES emulator.

"You cannot sell data you don’t own. Hedge funds care immensely about the legality of the data."

Thats a shame as this makes this business model almost impossible for the average reader here.

There are loads of outside data that if crawled and gathered could be useful to hedge funds. things like:

- growth in number of Amazon reviews for a type of product month to month(against amazon tos to scrape them)

- number of job ads that mention a technology or product (against indeed.com tos to scrape them)

- google rankings of websites (against google tos to scrape them)

- growth in total yelp reviews for a restaurant like Mcdonalds month to month (against yelps tos)

which means this business is only for already profitable companies with large user bases.

Other than some very specific things like the rasterization algorithm for filling in a triangle, you still can't really skip learning the concepts in the article. The concepts are still quite relevant in the post-fixed-function-pipeline world, except you do even more math and even more clever tricks.

The GPU and associated API's just nicely abstract specific computations for you like matrix transforms, texture sampling, depth testing, etc., but the moment you want to do anything sort of fancy you're right back into the depths of it.

Aside: This is also why the OP's wishes for "a better spreadsheet" so often run into trouble. If you take a spreadsheet and naively "add more power" with a programming language, you're producing an abrupt transition from mode #3 to mode #2. This spooks the user almost as much as learning to code from scratch - and for the same reasons.

I don't have an answer for this. For https://anvil.works we deliberately avoided this pitfall by never pretending to be a spreadsheet (or, for that matter, shrinkwrap, like Salesforce does). We make you write code from step 1, and get comfy with it, because if you started in any other paradigm it would be too hard to switch. And if you don't write code, you'll never get much advantage over just using Access.
Somebody had to come up with that originally so that everyone else would follow the format.

BTW, your preferred data source is horribly lacking. No mention of NESticle in the popular emulators? No mention that the first NES emulator (where this header comes from/was made for) was a COMMERCIAL emulator?

I think you need to pick a better source for your data.

Also just plain dumb luck. stocks dont trade based on logic like revenue growth so if Trump tweets something negative about Starbucks and the stock goes down, but your data suggested Starbucks sales went up 300% last month, you are in tough luck.

this is also probably why your data is worth much much less than you think. there are very few things that correlate very strongly to stock performance. predicting human emotion is probably more important than predicting revenue growth or number of people who went inside a Starbucks last month.

If you think about what is required for a mammal to survive multiple environments it seems intuitive the more environments a mammal can survive the more genes is needed to create different phenotypes (observable characteristics of an organisms due to the interaction of its genes with the environment). Just looking at the organisms themselves a mouse is capable of surviving harsher and diverse environments than humans. Due to this resiliency the mouse must have more phenotypes and thus have more genes than humans.

This would also perhaps explain the reason as to why some plant species have far more genes than mammals as without the ability to move they need to be able to code for multiple environment changes throughout their life.

No one used sequential trig calls; it was still all matrix multiplications, and such. If you're trying to explain the effects without jumping into matrices though, calculating the trig like that is the way to do it.

The for loops are always present, but they're handled in the driver or the hardware itself. If you assume that all you've got for drawing graphics is a setPixel function, then they end up exposed directly in your code.
Because very few people want to do that. Many more people want syntax highlighting, automatic backups, vcs support and a kitchen sink full of plugins.

If supporting feature x that nearly no-one wants makes popular features a, b, c much harder to implement then it generally makes engineering sense to forgo x.

Astute insight on the shift from transactions to litigation that AI foreshadows.
It's too late for the web app/page ecosystem to be fixed, and adding more access just makes it worse. Most web stuff is so bloated with tracking and indirect third-party software installation that it's difficult for even the creator of a page/app to figure out what code gets run (see e.g. [1], scroll down to "Fad Ads"). There are still social norms for what native programs should do -- tracking and automatic forced update are frowned upon -- and developers who do these things are shunned.

The browser has become a sandbox for hostile actors, and it seems like a terrible idea to make that sandbox larger.

This is partially true, but in general, resistance is essentially defined to be the observed voltage drop for an observed current. Sure, you have to sometimes qualify that with stuff like signal frequency, but in this case, you can handily define the voltage drop to be zero, and the resistance to be zero.
Sweden and US has similar work markets, and while not identical, the data that Sweden has is simply more available. To my knowledge job titles are not reported in as part of tax collection in the US, which mean that any similar data will be poll based and less reliable. It is common to see data researcher praising the nordic european states for the completeness of the data records.

If you want warm, emotional and opinionated point, let me bring one that also is supported by the available data. 12.5% is horrible, and that the underlying trend today is steadying pointing downwards is nothing less than a complete failure of gender equality politics. A society that speak of gender equality should not accept it, and even more it should be repulsed by the fact that many of the 90%+ profession have the government as the employer. It shows a strong lack of compassion and understanding on what such work environment do to people, and by focusing the political discussion elsewhere it cowardly avoids scrutiny. If we see people feeling marginalized for being one odd in every 5, imagine how exposed it would be to be 1 odd out of every 300.
There is some risk of harm of bad dealing at almost every level, but we try to pay attention to the people with the most financial power because they have the greatest ability to do harm. And of course the more incentive there is to subvert the laws. Probably any simple view of this issue is wrong.

This is the unspoken foundation of the "sharing economy". You get a big pool of individual actors to make exchanges with each other in a marketplace like the ones provided by Uber, TaskRabbit, etc.

The market takes its little cut of every transaction, but takes zero percent of the risk. That's all passed on to the individual participants.

Car break down? Not Uber's fault. Get hit by a drunk driver? Lyft don't care. Have an allergic reaction to your latex gloves? Doesn't have anything to do with TaskRabbit as far as they're concerned.
I think email needs to stop being treated like a database. It should be used for sending and receiving messages, the rest should be handled by other software... like a database for example.

No, but why the fuck would you blast a sine wave into your ears using headphones of all things? Please go and read up on your cochleae, this is the sonic equivalent of trying to blind yourself with a laser pointer. If your finding a flow state that elusive then try drugs, which are likely to be significantly safer in small quantities.

Sine tones don't exist in nature any more than lasers do. Your anatomy is not equipped to safeguard you from such foolishness.
Stick with it and don't despair. The job search space is totally non-sense these days. Don't let the rejections bring you down—most recruiters don't know what they're doing.

What are your expectations? From my experience and that of friends around me, it can take a year if not two to find a job using the usual "apply with CV" approach. You should consider asking friends in your network for a "plug" in the company where they work.
