Sorry to hear it's been hard. It depends what you're going for.

I'm an EE, less relevant than CE to CS (if you're going after software positions). There are plenty of EEs, physicists, etc. who are in top posts at most tech companies for software. Your degree isn't limiting you.

Job hunting is about demonstrating value to people who matter. If you can demonstrate value to the hiring person (hiring manager, HR, etc.), then you'll get hired.

So while the resume and education are one thing, they're really the tip of the iceberg. You can contribute on open source, you can showcase papers you've authored, you can build relationships with hiring managers to show that you know your stuff.

If you're going for hardware, hardware positions are lower paying, harder to get, and require more experience than software positions. You might want to apply for internships. Broadcom, Qualcomm, Nvidia, all have great internship programs. They might get you to do fun things you'd never do as a full timer as well (Apple gets lots of interns to go to Shenzhen, Nvidia gets it's interns to drop boxes on the floor to test packaging).

Almost all tech companies I've ever interacted with have different staff that deal with new grads/university students than the rest of HR. A typical HR person probably doesn't like new candidates, but new grads are what university recruiters are supposed to do. I'd seek out university recruiters specifically (you can search "university recruiting" on LinkedIn).

I know lots of people who start companies because the jobs they're qualified for, suck. Honestly, I started my first company because I engineering stopped being challenging/fun and no business wanted to take me on. Now I can say I've scaled businesses, sold my B2B SaaS product to $B companies, etc.

Finally, on the motivation/keeping the hope alive. I've had my fair share of dark times. Tony Robbins, Art Williams, and Zig Ziglar are all great to listen to.

Best of luck!
I think I can rephrase your points into more basic principals:

- Freedom: UBI gives individuals more freedom in how to spend their subsidies.

- Privacy: By eliminating means-testing, we eliminate the governments intrusive accounting of an individual's life.

- Efficiency - Spending: People can allocate their UBI more efficiently than the government can allocate funds on services.

- Efficiency - Means-Testing: The process of means-testing is expensive and a bureaucratic drain on resources.

The first two I entirely agree with; the third I'm not sure about, but the last I'm almost certain is untrue. Means-testing is expensive overhead, but that process is definitely less expensive than giving everyone the benefit. If it weren't, the government would already be giving everyone Medicaid. I suspect the real proponents of UBI are advocating for freedom and privacy more than anything else.
My issue is less about accidental clicks and more about accuracy: I have not yet figured out how to depress the pad without moving the cursor. Even one-in-ten outright misses is enough to make computer use absolutely infuriating.
There is essentially no current risk that almond farmers will lose access to the livestock bees that pollinate their crops.
Yes, attaching memory to the CCD, with a latch clock to function as a shutter, would prevent the rolling shutter effect, bandwidth be damned. But that too is an extra expense, so you're not likely to see it on low end cameras (e.g., phone cameras).
You've misrepresented the dismantling of sexism and racism as "tilting the playing field 'the other way'", a fabricated quote.

You've also utterly missed the point on MLK Jr. Using his words to suggest that racial oppression goes both ways on anything near the same level is a transparent attempt to deny the existence of white privilege. Popping up on threads about the oppression of women with non sequiturs about the oppression of men is exactly the same thing.
They were actually better at it than the bees from memory.

Wage costs I'm sure would be an issue. Sounds like a crazy idea, but can't we just stop using pesticides that have provably been shown to harm a critical part of our food chain? I don't particularly care if Bayer loses profit, or if I have to pay a more realistic price for fruit and veg.
Oh grow up.
This is often a signal for bullshit though.

If people can't comprehend what you're doing, it's often because that's not their job. It doesn't have to be hard to be incomprehensible. A large code-base built in the most simple language is incomprehensible to the person who hasn't put in the time to crack open some files.

The value in code is in getting customers to pay for the product and for you to be a good person on the team. That means you are engaging (meaningful connections) with your team and with the customer. You don't do that by working in a silo in a world in which nobody can communicate with you. Better to concentrate on delivering value.

Learning to write incomprehensible code is not the answer to impostor syndrome. You are immersing yourself in one rabbit hole when you should be putting time into better understanding your impostor syndrome (your emotions). That rabbit hole is a fear response and an attempt to gain a sense of control over your environment. Instead, you should be doing the opposite, embracing uncertainty and the impostor syndrome.

And love your team. Code so that everyone can join in. Even if you feel the tools which allow this are inferior.
They also eradicated feral honeybees several decades ago (all honeybees in the US are alien to the continent; almost all today are livestock, not wildlife).
Indeed, but the hope is that you could (in principle) lose or damage the grand k, and be able to get on with life. Just like with the second and the meter, the kg will be defined using an agreed upon number that provides the best possible agreement with the old artifact. Then the artifact will have been replaced by a number whose value is largely of historical interest.
I love Dropbox, but where's the growth potential? They do an amazing job of storage and syncing, and as a user I'd love for them to focus on that.

Can they use their early success in sync to bootstrap other products? "Evernote" by Dropbox?

EDIT> This is an honest question, and I'd appreciate informative replies.
Interesting. What's the catalyst made of? I remember they used to require platinum and other expensive elements.

Also, using CO2 from factories is nice but eventually we need to get rid of them altogether. I imagine taking CO2 from the atmosphere at its natural concentration should be incredibly inefficient.
Ask HN: Has the race condition code of 2003 NE Blackout ever been released?
A subtle race condition in C/C++ code caused what was, at the time, the 2nd most widespread power outage in history:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeast_blackout_of_2003

I am curious if the code containing the race condition -- and the specific details of how it was triggered -- has ever been released. If so, where?
Totally. Although, I think you underestimate just what you can do with modding; some of the things you mentioned sound like they would be about as easy to do in Ironfist as in a rewrite.

Here's one way to put it: the amount of programming work that has gone into fheroes2 is several times that of Ironfist. Because of our approach as a mod instead of a rewrite, in a lot of ways, we are far ahead of them.

Everyone wants a rewrite. Sometimes, you have to ask how many resources you have.

(On a different note, from my last few investigations, there's a lot that I don't like about the fheroes2 codebase which provide independent reasons for not using it. Rewrites are not created equal. Apologies to any fheroes2 devs reading this.)
Startups do well when they improve things for people who vote with their wallets (buying this or that service).

Bureaucracies though are a completely different beast. Better value? Happier customers? They care not a bit. You need different levers to (sloooowly) move them.
One thing to keep in mind is you should not compare yourself to what Mark Zuckerberg is right now. You're at the beginning of a path and he is much further along. When you boil down Facebook to what it was originally when he shipped it was a rather good idea, written as a crud app in php, and looked like this:

https://media.licdn.com/mpr/mpr/shrinknp_800_800/AAEAAQAAAAA...

Ship, learn, iterate.
Some would argue Hollande used this to allow France ignore the EU mandated deficit target, because the country is somehow "at war".
But you could tell something was fishy by listening to him. You said you got the impression he taught the whole story rather than lived it. That's exactly what you are looking for; that's why it's so valuable. A real developer can tell when someone is bullshitting him in about 3 sentences.

Having said that, let me be clear. This isn't a good tool if all you have to do interviews is a manager. They probably won't be able to tell the difference, especially if they are just generic managers with little to no technical experience. They aren't the type you want giving technical interviews.
I've been telling everyone who will listen about "Show Me A Hero".
I wish more people were vocal about gratuitous (and especially slow!) transitions. For example, the animations at https://getfinal.com (for the Final credit card) are very annoying. You can't even select the "Sign In" option until the "fade in" has finished.
They've come a long way from their Show HN 10 years ago:

"most of the restaurants in lobbies gave out free food to guests. Since most perishable items were going to spoil anyway, many restaurants and citizens simply prepared what they could and served it to anyone who wanted it, leading to vast block parties in many New York City neighborhoods. Any ice cream in frozen storage also had to be quickly served to any and all passers by."
Not sure I ever want to overcome that feeling, just channel it into motivation instead. Don't see all those smart people as your competition, see them as potential hires or colleagues, people to learn from. And when everyone realises all the other high performers feel the same way, then everyone gets a little kinder to one another. That's been a pillar of all the high-functioning teams I've been lucky enough to be part of.

Litmus test: if you ever think you might be the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room.
What's the point? If you want a decent keyboard then you have to carry one. There's no way that using a laptop on your lap can be healthy for you (neck pain), while raising the laptop to improve the strain on your neck... can't help your hands.

Anyways, that's what I do: travel with a compact wired keyboard. And that's my advice.

As for differentiating laptops, lots of other things seem like better characteristics to compare: freedom, privacy (mechanical webcam and mic disable switches), mic quality, speaker quality, RAM, battery life, GPU, SSD vs. HDD, weight, ...

One thing I hate is the bevelling on Macs: it actually hurts my fingers, but then again, I carry an external keyboard (and mouse) anyways, so this wouldn't stop me from buying a Mac.

Weird website, took me a while to classify its purpose. So, is this like an AMD version of NVIDIA's CuDNN? Can we run TensorFlow on AMD GPUs?
I've come around to the thinking that Sopranos (even if I prefer the Wire) was the best show on television. Before it, nothing on television came close to the depth that the Sopranos did. It laid the foundation for epic shows like The Wire, Game of Thrones, and Breaking Bad.
Why is the Quintic Unsolvable?
I remind myself that people I consider far more talented than me suffer from the same thing and that it's therefore nonsense.
I'd define as "native" anything that was around before the Europeans showed up. Corn, potatoes, many kinds of beans, tomatoes. Those were all domesticated, and I don't know how you'd count them as a percentage.
I think he was joking about the typo, 2000k/mo is 2M/mo
Well, 1.11 centuries. It's plural!
I am new about these things, but wouldn't just moving to fixed computation really fix this and a large number of forsee-able side-channel attacks? It sounds like the libgcrypt devs chose specifically not to do this because they thought it wasn't necessary.
Talk about irritating. A laptop is not a phone/tablet. A laptop, even a tiny netbook, is big enough to allow the LUXURY of haptic feedback, so why not provide it?!
Kotlin is a language not a UI framework, and most of the code was still java last I checked.
Get older.

Also- understand that there is a big difference between competency and imposter syndrome. A lot of young people confuse the concepts.

Competency means you knows the limits of your knowledge. Expertise means you know one thing exceptionally well. It is easy to stumble into competency- and people around you will mistake it for expertise. When this happens, you will feel like you are impostering. This is because you know the subject well enough to recognize the inaccuracy of your celebratory peers.

Be calm and be patient.
Give your imposter syndrome an identity. I named the source of those negative thoughts DAve and anytime they show up I think to myself shut up, Dave.
Logistics, Pathfinding, Defense for me, Maybe Air Magic...
Yeah, you're right. Happiness = Reality - Expectations.

I should put a LOT less pressure on myself and just focus on the process. Reading through this thread tells me I need to adjust some of my underlying beliefs about intrinsic/extrinsic motivation.
Stress of being slaves to a bank for the rest of their lives when wages and jobs in those areas are shrinking, and while they watch the planet being trashed.
Presently we produce something like 5500 kcal per person on earth. Much of it to feed animals. Producing enough nutrition is not the issue - distribution and patterns of consumption are (and these are more political barriers than physical ones).
While true in terms of how they initially evolved, in terms of how they are cultivated, figs don't necessarily require pollination by wasps (or at all). Parthenocarpy, the bearing of fruit without pollination, was probably first cultivated in fig trees thousands of years ago, and is still common today. Some fig cultivars do require pollination to bear fruit, but many don't.
So Euro 300K for 4 years. It doesn't look like good deal compare to USD 1 million for permanent residency.
That would be great! The hundreds of off-target mutations thing is a little bit concerning, however.[1] I hope this doesn't turn out to stymie the potential for a delightfully scifi future.

Hi everyone - I'm the author of "Blueprints for a SaaS Sales Organization." Happy to take any questions on this lovely Sunday afternoon. The point of the book is that selling SaaS is different from selling anything else, and how you set up your teams needs to fit the model. The link above will take you to a free excerpt!!
Okay, I saw that, but thanks for saying it. What does right to left mean specifically? How would you compute it without a sliding window / or make it fixed time?
Give a little talk about something you're really passionate about and interested in. Make it so that it generates a lot of questions. Once you get people talking about your area of expertise you'll start to feel better about what you know. That's what worked for me anyways.
HN has comment folding. Activate it by clicking the minus sign next to the "timestamp" to hide the comment and it's children.
This is excellent. There's definitely an element of being called out on something you don't know in detail acting as a forcing function of curiosity/learning.
The problems I seen is when vegans try to duplicate some food they used to each with some unhealthy combination of ingredients. There is a vegan pastry shop nearby which is quite popular and their substitute for the butter frosting didn't seem exactly healthy (a mixtures of various oils and thickeners.)

Useless, but keyboard itself is amazing.

It's like 10 years ago when first MacBooks came out with chiclet keys, while all other manufacturers used previous design (most of them finally shifted to chiclet by now). Typing on a regular laptop now feels like masochism.
> A lot of people on HN grew up in wealthier families, and perhaps never had to work a manual labor job.

Speak for yourself. I find this offensive. But maybe you are right since a large number of people here have upvoted this to be top post.

> If the average worker lifts 100 boxes per day, you just have to lift 100 boxes and you know you are doing the work correctly. You deserve to be there.

Deserve to be there? Wow. I won't say what I am really thinking right now. I think I'll go have a few beers and hope I calm down. Hopefully some day you will talk this trash to us in person rather than anonymously on some board.
If the compiler is fast enough, then one could make a REPL out of it (by modifying it slightly). LLVM also has interpreters. The trick would be finding a consistent way of representing high level state in the REPL (You can't just lob bits of LLVM IR together), unless you can manage without (of course).
Maybe I'm nuts, but I couldn't stand The Sopranos. I didn't find Tony Soprano to be a sympathetic antihero at all. Just a vile gangster who I just wanted to be killed in every episode.
Maybe. But I actually think it's representative of a very deliberate attempt by the GOP to take gerrymandering to the next level. The GOP has become a vicious beast over the past decade. They are not fucking around when it comes to winning and they absolutely consider "the voice of the people" as something not to be heard to but to be manipulated in various ways. I know, Democrats do it, too, blah, blah. But not like the GOP. Nowhere in the same ballpark.

To quote a prominent Republican: "Sad!"
USD is _currently_ valued in Gold. Roughly 1238 USD = 1 oz of gold.

I think you meant "backed" by gold?
I don't think I have a solution if the setting is as broad as "technology" or even the narrower "careerist technology".

I do have a solution if one is experiencing "imposter syndrome" in a particular domain: have a mentor. The mentor will help you measure the extent of your knowledge. If the mentor says, "That looks/sounds good to me," then you cast the research into the big scary world and sit with those "imposter" feelings knowing they are false positives.

Eventually you learn to measure your knowledge without reliance on the mentor, and the "imposter" feelings lessen.
Wow, I was in the children's chorus there in the 80s, and the place looks exactly the same as it did back then. There's also a big cafeteria in the basement.
Yep, from what I can tell it's about 10x stronger than vinegar at the same concentration, but about 1/7 the strength of citric acid (lemon juice). It's often use in wart treatments so it's not too bad in small concentrations.

However, it's flammable and can cause acid burns in the concentrations they're talking about in the article.
I don't agree with visarga's first sentence. But I don't think it's childish to want a war criminal to be held to some account. More than 100,000 civilians died in that conflict, and Rice played a key role in knowingly selling the lies that lead to their deaths.

There's a question upthread asking why GPUs are not mentioned in "Nuts and bolts of multi-threaded programming". Hence my wonderment.
A former coworker, a dj whom was thinking about going pro, bought $100-400 USD/month of vinyl from Australia and other countries. Considering how many boomers and echo boomers wish to pour money on purist/audiophile music listening experience, it's no wonder Sony made this move. Price should be much higher than adjusted prices from the past in order to monetize this segment with lots of disposable income.

PS: My father likely spent $100k+ USD in 1980's money ($190k in 2017) on audiophile gear and thousands of records and CD's. Nakamichi transports, Mark Levinson amp, speakers on floor-isolated platforms and so on... it was basically like warming up the Back to the Future guitar amp.
