Using a burner because I don't want to tie this to my company.

You can send your CV to $bigcorp directly, but $bigcorp is inundated with CVs, and many CVs have a casual relationship with reality.

I do a lot of interviews on the hiring side. I look at a lot of resumes. And other than "worked in a similar position at a big-5 tech company or well regarded unicorn," nothing on a resume provides much signal. There are a handful of universities that make me pay attention, and a few particular programs outside that handful, but even that is weak signal. A candidate saying "expert in [whatever]" is useless.

I spend about 10% of my work week doing technical phone screens. This comes after a recruiter reads a candidate's resume, talks to them on the phone about their experience, and decides they're a plausible candidate. I get on the phone with them, we fire up coderpad, and I ask them to start coding. Nothing requiring exotic data structures or algorithms, just a straightforward "make a class with a couple of properties" type thing. Something along the lines of:

Part 1: Make a class that represents a playing card. It should have a suit (clubs, diamonds, hearts, or spades), and a rank (two through ten, jack, queen, king, or ace). Make a way to print out the card as a string. And make a comparison function that can tell whether two cards are the same (same suit and same rank).

Part 2: Make a deck of all 52 possible cards.

Part 3: Make a 5-card hand by picking 5 random cards from the deck.

and one or two more similarly straightforward parts after that.

There are a few places where a candidate can show off (e.g. override the default string representation for the class, anticipate that we might want a comparator that does more than just check for identical cards, or use a special data structure, use an optimized algorithm for picking 5 random cards) but none of that is necessary to pass the interview. More than half the candidates I talk to can't get through part 1. Half of the remainder can't get through part 3. Most people who get through part 3 move on to an onsite interview.

70 or 80 percent of candidates who say on their CV that they can code, and have convinced a recruiter that they can code, can't write a class and a couple of functions. So a lot of companies do the easy thing, and just toss out (or at least don't fast track) all the resumes that don't include particular schools or companies, or come from referrals. And in the process, companies lose out on tons of qualified candidates, and those candidates lose out on jobs.

If Triplebyte can reliably identify candidates who can pass a phone screen, when I'm sorting through resumes I'd be happy to treat a Triplebyte stamp of approval the same way I'd treat a degree from a top school.
The fact that you managed to uncover these super-secret issues and the fact that they are widely discussed and debated explains in part how the government plans are different from an illegal ponzi scheme.
That is a danger, but you can still get substantial raises.

You can expand your territory. Like you can go from being the only guy who knows how to modify the installer, to being the person in charge of builds, CI, backups. Then heading a small department on this.
I don't understand what you mean. Can you elaborate?
> some of his clients knew he is running ponzi,

That would be a conspiracy then.
That's fantastic, thank you!

Is it possible to further reduce the minimum supporter amount (to, say, $1?) - or customize it?
Java is kind of a bitch to bootstrap on anything that is not x86. We've been trying to get openjdk9 to build on arm for months now in nixos. This means we cant package any bazel-based projects for Nixos. Also the dependency chain is huge. So building from scratch also just takes a lot of time. It's very hard to package in a source-based distribution

You choose to ignore sportsfandom, but apparently it gets out of jail free card on Wikipedia. Is it a good thing? Why? Where's the motivation? Who decided that?
Not much. The Arduino programming environment is really gcc in C++ mode, but a different library.

Good thing DTube topped HN the other day:

https://d.tube/
I guess that is the whole point? I.e., you stop needing to be frugal and/or don’t have to count € when spending money on basic things like food or transportation. Also, more things become ‘basic’.

Another point that makes a difference is that if you ever want to get a mortgage and buy a house, the maximum the banks will give you is a constant multiplier times your annual salary. In Ireland it’s 3.5x — good luck trying to buy a house on a €140k budget in Dublin.

In my case, my total effective comp increased about 8x in the last 5 years after being corrected for taxes and CPIs of the countries I lived in, and I kind of concur with the OP in that it’s more of a log curve than linear. Things get progressively ‘easier’ but less lifestyle-changing over time.
But what if NONE of the early investor wants to sell? So there are no shares afloat? Or until a ridiculously high price before they start selling?

Let say it is valued at $20B with shares at $20. What is stopping an early investors selling 1 shares at $1000, market valued at 1 Trillion, and get someone to buy that 1 shares?

My point is since there is no new shares, unless the early investor are really rushing to offload. Selling would be limited.
I'm curious: Why would this be illegal in Finland?

Leverage the data pal.
You are inside a company, access every day. Explore the limits of your access, how far can you get. What data can you access? Can you use that data to get some leverage?
Surely, based on the data you are cleaning you can speculate what it is being used for. Can you shoot some questions about it to seniors and offer them some advise to improve?

A month in Australia for 3-4k? I want a cost breakdown for this. Say you get a deal and airfare is $500, that leaves about $100/day for the month. You could probably find a hotel at that rate, but then you're left with nothing to spend on food and activities. What am I missing? Friends and relatives who'll let you stay with them?
I've tried a lot of mail services over the years and every time come back to gmail, well actually GSuite. Stuff I tried:
- Posteo.de: Great, but you can't use your own domain or groups, which was a dealbreaker.
- Fastmail: Nice enough, didn't really care for the web interface though.
- Postbox: Great, after the merger with fastmail got the fastmail webinterface :-)
- Microsoft hosted exchange: It was ok, S.O. wasn't a fan due to slow webinterface on a tablet. Spam filtering was a weak point.
- MXRoute: Nice service, good price/quality. In the end however I didn't liked that I couldn't control the spam filter (you have some config options but mostly it's global).
PEP 0 – Index of Python Enhancement Proposals (PEPs)
Very strange indeed that people are incredulous that you don't take stims.
I love stims, especially modafinil. I don't think your methods are better than mine or that you would be more productive with stims. It's personal preference so let's withhold judgment. You have your method and they have theirs. You can stop the debate right there.
I don't know if that's as much as you think it is. Vi's actually pretty forward with what some of those costs are on her Patreon page there, and in calling the goal of $10,000 "sustainability". If I were to throw some very rough numbers, I'd guess at 10% of that going to payment processing (iirc, Patreon takes 5%, paypal/stripe would be at 3-5%?), which would leave 81,000/yr. 24,000 to tax, and we're down to 4,750/mo.

Internet, piano loan, and rent are 2,650 as per Vi's Patreon pledge amounts. So, 2,100/mo for the rest of life's costs (and if you're not used to seeing the cost, remember that health insurance is not cheap in the US), as well as the costs of material and equipment for her work. I'll point out that "sustainability" as her Patreon goal still involves counting on Amazon wishlist gifts to provide the equipment she wants/needs, and this is before we talk about savings or other such adult things.

It's great that she's getting Patreon income (and probably Youtube ad income)! I really would love to see amazing creators supported in such a way more often. We should just be careful when reading the Patreon top line number that we don't compare it to our bottom line on a pay stub.
For you. Parent clearly disagrees.
Most important: Don't just start refactorings, finish them (!!!)

I've used a couple of the refactoring approaches mentioned in the article over the last 10 years in our current project. The biggest mess comes from partially executed parallel changes. You go from one bad solution to one bad solution + a better solution, ending up with a bigger mess than you started with halfway through. And when that mess becomes visible/a problem again, nobody wants to finish the initial refactoring, they create another parallel change, not finishing that either, etc etc.
We've high-value customers. Contracts mid 3 figure. We ask them on phone.
I've brought this up multiple times before, but even on 150k in the bay area, you're still living well. After tax, and rent at 4k/month, your remaining pay is greater than the gross income of most mid level software engineers in Europe. If you can't manage to survive on that, you're doing soemthign wrong.
I don't think $150k is enough to be happy. Just in caviar alone every week sets me back about couple grand. Jewellery for my girlfriends costs me about $5k a month. Not to mention other QOL expenses:

- $500 having someone coming over to cut my toenails every 3 weeks
- $1200 having someone reading books to me 2h every evening
- $2800 caviar
- $6000 having Gordon Ramsey cook me dinner once a week
- $4000-5000 travelling once a month and staying in a decent hotel
- $800 insurance for my Bentley
- $2500 private tuition for my kids
...

Only for this I'll need $17800 a month, not counting in rent and other stuff. I can barely survive on a $500k salary. So there are a lot of things that can be improved with a higher salary and I think there's a big difference between making $500k and $1mil in terms of Quality of Life. I don't understand people that make $40k, how can you be happy?

>Yeah so has anyone actually tried to get ElasticSearch up and running lately?

Actually, yes. I just finished doing our migration from ELK 1.7 to 6.1.3.

We're using installs direct on VMs (rather than docker), and for that we push the configuration/install using Ansible.
Their Ansible role[1] works reasonably well for installing Elastic.
The Kibana and Logstash configurations were done using regular RPM install from the repo.

> That's how it has always been, though. In the '90s you didn't need to run Perl or Tcl through it because you weren't compiling anything. The Venn diagram of "Platforms that have make" and "Popular compiled languages" comes up with only asm/C/C++.

Pascal/Delphi were wildly popular in the late 80's, early 90's, though. I don't remember it being built with make, though.
The inside of a black hole doesn’t exist as far as our universe is concerned. Even the ‘gravity’ isn’t ‘emanated’ by the mass ‘inside’ the event horizon; rather it is a ‘recursively’ generated field (remember: gravity is generated by mass-energy curving space-time, gravity is a form of energy, and so gravity begets gravity in an entirely self-sustaining manner).
Ask HN: Custom tools and scripts
DevOps and SysAdmin, what custom tools and scripts you have developed for you work?

We are currently working on analysis of whole network infrastructure. There are lot of devices with outdated or wrong or missing documentation.

Since there are lot of devices, it's not possible to do it manually one-by-one. We are developing custom scripts.

Wondering how HN guys helps on they own with similar tasks and what difficult tasks are solved by custom automation tools and scripts.
Yeah, that's pretty much when I usually close the tab.
It's against the money collection laws. Basically you have to have a permit to collect donations. That permit costs money itself and has some bureaucracy to it. It's also limited in time so you have to get a new permit after it expires.

The only way to get a donation without the permit is if someone proactively asks you how they can give money to you and then you can tell them your bank account number or PayPal or whatever.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, the permits are only given to associations and such, not private persons. And even then the processing time for the permit request is 5 to 6 months.

*born into the right family
The big Symantec problem was RAs rather than resellers. The difference probably doesn't mean much to customers, but it means a lot in terms of trust.

Symantec trusted the RAs to do Validation. So although we believe CrossCert (the Korean RA which made all this kick off) were actually making some sort of attempt to validate, since Symantec exercised no effective oversight and relied entirely upon third party auditors (whose role is _audit_ not actively overseeing everything) we can't be sure. We know CrossCert validated bogus certificates for example.com, which although it's scarcely google.com or a major bank is still very wrong. Executives at Symantec essentially did not do their job on this, that's why even if they hadn't quit the market voluntarily they were in the process of being forced to let somebody else do the actual oversight. Board-level incompetence is very widespread, but that's no reason we have to tolerate it in the Web PKI.

Trustico was not trusted to validate things, so if they tried to sell some customer certificates for example.com, the customer would have to prove to Symantec that they legitimately controlled example.com to get their certificate. They could still cause (as seen here) mayhem, but only for their own customers, so arguably caveat emptor.
A fantastic product, thanks!

That is what GR predicts. However we know that GR is incomplete because it is incompatible with quantum field theory. I was trying to illustrate what can be relied upon to be true even if ultimately GR gets superseded by deeper theories: namely, we can rely on an event horizon forming at the schwartzchild radius whatever the ultimate fate of the in-falling matter may be (in an infinite future).

Furthermore, whereas you and I apparently know what a null surface is, I was trying to illustrate what infinite time dilation means without resorting to very specialist knowledge.

It depends on what they intend to do with that year off.

If they want to travel, they need to be completely off and you can grant it to some people.

If they want to work on some side project, then say no to some of them but propose a part-time job (work 2 or 3 days a week). Make sure to explain why you are saying no (can not afford to give half the staff a year off).
The point of these analyses isn’t to say “arrest this man he’s a criminal” but rather “closely observe this man and ascertain whether he’s a gangbanger or an outreach worker.” Of course it doesn’t even need to get that far since it’s trivial to tell the two apart from the network analysis alone (the outreach worker will have a far higher ratio of legitimate-world contacts to criminal-world contacts than the gangbanger).
Microsoft proved that you can use Electron to make great and optimized applications that perform very well in Visual Studio Code.

Last I heard, reionization was not understood in detail so I find it surprising the author here is confident they found a dark matter signature.

Wow. Is it just me or does that sound like a downright horrifying company to deal with as a candidate?

At our company, we try to painstakingly craft our recruiting experience to make sure each candidate we interview has a good experience and ends up with a positive impression of our company regardless of whether or not we end up sending them an offer. At the end of the day, we're all human beings, each with something unique to bring to the table, even if that something might not be what we're looking for for a particular role at the moment.

Maybe past some scale we'll have to start changing our approach and start reducing candidates down to data points and "run experiments" on them like lab rats, like Google, et all, and these guys here seem to be so proud of themselves for doing, but I'd sooner quit than to stay a part of a company that does that.
Marissa mayer literally ran yahoo into the ground, she has come to mean disaster.

Marissa = Disaster. I hope she doesnt overemphasize her position as an investor and again runs an enterprise into the ground.
Of course it can. Taking this action against someone with a political stance opposite from yours may be a mistake you're more likely to make, but it's still a mistake.

Besides that, the point I was trying to make was less about whether it was a mistake, and more that it's plausible that this was something that was done by an individual against company policy rather than in accordance with it.

While everyone else argues about wether LN is evil or great, I'll just comment on your product.

It's a nice tool, akin to the block explorers out there. One minor thing I noticed, where you define the node colour in the sidebar, sometimes if it is dark the hexcode cannot be seen.

There's a way to fix this by dynamically determining the color in javascript for example, and changing the text atop of it to white.

What is the LTSE? From their website it doesn't really seem like they do anything other than some apps for entrepreneurs?

Often the mechanism for destroying great companies is plundering one group of stakeholders to pay off equity and management. E.g. firing long-time employees, underfunding/changing pensions, over leveraging, or risky regulatory strategies that they won't be around to face the consequences for. I don't see how what stock exchange something is listed on has much effect on any of those.
