Your second paragraph is not, in my understanding, the goal of a hidden service: that is merely the goal of Tor itself and would apply to a non-hidden service being accessed via Tor. The goal of the hidden services feature is to allow hosts to have the same level of anonymity as users, making it nearly impossible to shut them down or know where to tap their traffic (for timing attacks).
I've never heard of or experienced #1 and have been in the industry for 8 years. We all break shit. That's not a reason to pass on junior devs.

In regards to #2, it's not that you won't add value until you are fully trained, but there are X number of people applying for the same position, and as the person doing the hiring you are going to try to get the most experienced developer you can for that role.

There are still plenty of good companies that go out of their way to hire junior devs (for budget or other reasons)
there are. they are called optometry conventions
Having only an interview and resume to go on is really a nightmare scenario as hiring goes. When a team already knows who they want to hire, they shouldn’t have to sneak it by the institution - the institution should celebrate! Positive professional reputation / recommendation by another skilled practitioner makes for a much higher quality hire than strong interview performance.
Yeah I took typing in high school on those old mechanical type writers. I took the class because the football coach was the instructor. I had no idea how beneficial touch typing would turn out to be in my career.
I'm a Blendle user as well, and I really love the concept - the main thing I would like is integration between Blendle and the original publication site, because people post links to the original newspaper, not to Blendle...
You're placing an awful lot of pressure on being in CS - there are many other careers that have good salaries and will not be automated in the near future. I also think you're placing too much emphasis on math proficiency in terms of general CS success. Obviously some CS subfields are math heavy, but many are not.
I'm using Brave and happy with it except for no sync as of right now.
> People are willing to wait for things that they want to consume and are available for free, up to some limit.

Right, they are going to wait 4-6 seconds and then maybe go back if the page doesn't load.

But that's an insane amount of time which is why I think most people don't really care about bloat until they think "hey this isn't working".

But I concede that you have a point with the tools vs websites to consume information. There is no difference for me personally, loading and reading a website is part of using it.

In most cases, a mortgage lender can’t ask for accelerated repayment no matter how far underwater you are, unless you fall behind on payments or otherwise violate the terms of your loan. If you’re making monthly payments, they can’t ask for a balloon repayment.

Additionally, a borrower who is paying on an underwater mortgage is much better than a foreclosure where the bank gets an asset worth less than you owe. Every month that you make a payment improves the bank’s position, since your payment is going to reduce the deficit between loan amount and home value.
I haven’t found the ingredients to be too expensive for most of the menus honestly, but I also live by a really cheap fruit and veggie store. (A kilo of blackberries isn’t gonna break the budget when it’s $1.00 a carton.) The book’s recipes are sized for a family of four hence the huge portions; I’m single so I usually cut the recipes in half and save a lot for leftovers. I’d say there’s a lot of substitutes you can make in the book for rare/pricier items and it’s realistic for most middle class budgets. They also group menus by season, so you buy the ingredients for the week when the produce is at its cheapest. But yeah, they do have the occasional ingredient like ground lamb or garlic scapes that can make the menus annoying/expensive to put together exactly.
First off, don't kill yourself. If you feel you need to ask for help on that issue please, before you head in that direction call the suicide prevention hotline for Spain. 717 003 717

Second, it doesn't matter if you're dumb or not, there is a place for you. Even if most of the jobs you're think of are automated there are jobs that you haven't thought of that won't be automated.

Third, which follows closely to the second, you don't have to do CS. You can force it and struggle which many times seems to be what programming is - finding the bug, figuring out the solution. People have succeeded simply because they didn't give up, or because they went for in depth help to get over the hump. BUT if you want to go in a different direction you should keep in mind that there will always, _always_ be a human doing something.

I seriously hope someone else comes by with better advice but you should understand that there is a path just for you and as long as you don't completely give up you'll get to a good place.
First,HN isn't a good place to seek help regarding you suicidal thoughts,which you should definetly see someone about.

You're over estimating too many things and using too much emotion in your analysis. Objectively speaking,you should define your life goals first and evaluate your abilities.

In my opinion,for "modern" or any other life,your career is primarily important to take care of yourself and your dependents. Even homeless people lead a life worth living. Life can always get worse or better.

Yes,natural abilities are imoortant but perseverance and wit are more decisive in succeeding(even in programming). Therein lies your weakness based on what I gather from your question. The fact that you gave up to easily and didn't attempt to at least "fake it till you make it" is a big problem.

I don't consider myself talented in STEM either but I am confident I can debug myself out of a segfault most days,primarily because of the ridiculous amount of time I spent with C and gdb debugging simple code mistakes. I don't know if I'd make a good programmer but since they want uni education in compsci,I focused in IT fields which is working out great for me.

In the end,I think you'll do fine in general. I don't know if STEM or compsci is for you based on what you mentioned but my advice is to at least persistently pursue your dreams. I would also highly recommend investing in relationships with people(personal,academic and professional) life is too hard on your own.
For those of you about to click: it's a visual interactive guide, and it's excellent. This guide is way too easy to not just learn it right now.

> One of the harder lessons to learn is how to deliver constructive criticism and feedback... I have not come across any books or courses on constructive criticism to share.

I strongly recommend the book Thanks for the Feedback: The Science and Art of Receiving Feedback Well by Douglas Stone and Sheila Heen. It lays out a framework for both giving and receiving feedback.

I also recommend their earlier work Difficult Conversations: How to Discuss What Matters Most. In it they present a psychologically astute picture of what's really going on in conversations that make us feel uncomfortable, and they do so using examples, language and priorities of the workplace. They give very good advice for preparing for and navigating these conversations.

Here is a study guide they created for people who want to practice the book's strategies:

I've actually been thinking about starting a meetup to find people to practice this stuff with.
But someone operating solely in places without fire risk could easily undercut the larger insurers, driving rates down in that area. It's good and all to spread out the risk, but it's better not to take on risk. So in the end, those living in risk-factor areas will pay for it one way or another.
You’re assuming that people who are behind on their home payments don’t have the money to make those payments.

In the 2008 mortgage crisis, a lot of speculators just walked away from underwater mortgages, not because they couldn’t pay, but because it made more financial sense for them to give up the asset in return for being released from the loan.

Foreclosure != bankruptcy
Refrain from using chinese browsers. They tend to send private user data to chinese companies. Best alternative is Firefox. Chromium is a bit buggy & catches many ads & malware.
There’s a shortage of cheap developers, not just any developers. Lower your compensation by 50% and you’ll be hired pretty fast.
Really? I personally believe that the Roman Republic would never have collapsed into Empire if not for the incredible destabilizing risk-rewarding weight of the Roman finance industry in the Republic’s final years.
Electromagnetism confounds that expected tendency. In combination with the nature of charged particles to repel each other - they divert each other in an unsymmetric, chiral direction to their relative motion. This leads to the obvious magnetic fields and visible flows such as aurora, besides who knows what other discovered and undiscovered phenomena. Quantum physics uses "virtual photons" - an unfamiliar virtual light, to produce the familiar magnetic forces in motors and things.

I've tentatively tried to grok electrodynamics over time but I find it even more perplexing than General Relativity.
This. FAANG hires more devs than they need just to keep the rest of FAANG from getting them.

Ask HN: Creating a Hosted Version of an MIT Licensed, Open Source App?
I've found an open source app on Github that solves a specific development problem that I had really, really well. It's MIT licensed.

The author has been working on it for over a year and a half.

I would like to start a business with it, creating a hosted version of it.

I did reach out to the author and told him my plans. He told me that he would be bummed if I beat him to the punch and creating the service. But I haven't seen him do anything with it that would show progress on a commercial version. I don't know him at all and would not want to partner with him.

Should I feel bad about taking an MIT licensed app that I didn't develop and creating a commercial service from the work of someone else?
While we all appreciate your strawman, I would encourage you to actually think about situations where the law actually does implement punishments that are beyond what would be considered proportionate, and when it does the opposite.
For anyone who is curious why a seller gets this much information, you have to be able to confirm the shipping address is correct. Google Maps can quicken this process.

Yes, this process is automated and usually works, however, the systems don't know everything, and you have to manually override the error to ship the product.

With that said, I think it's grossly irresponsible to look people up on all their social media. This is part of considering customer trust.

I've yet to hear about sellers stalking customers in the real world, but IMO, there isn't any difference between doing this stuff online and the real world. Please don't do this if you are planning to be a seller.
Yeah that's the problem.
I concur, having just purchased a Nokia 5 (for €105) and being surprised it felt so much slower than my iPhone SE. I guess it's a sign that speed/$ is flattening out. The good part about it is devices will stay competitive longer.
How is this possible in the US ? I run a lending startup in India, but you can't own paper until you have a regulatory license from the central bank.
Our license took 18 months - including extensive background checks, interviews,etc.

Can any individual buy mortgages and become a lender in the US ?
You know what, I'm actually more okay with this than perceptible, constant latency. If nothing is happening then I know I can just stop looking for characters to appear and keep typing. A tiny part of me loves to "get ahead" and just keep going because I know it'll be magical when it does arrive. If it's just always laggy, though, it's disorienting and disconnects me much worse.

Now if it's always doing that -- like a 1-2 second delay more than a few times in 10 minutes, for instance, it's terrible. But if it's a one-off, I don't mind it.
I'll share a similar experience with Asics (the running shoe company) a couple of weeks ago.

Out of nowhere, I received an email from Asics that contained another customer's name, their email address, phone number, and that customer's private message (apparently part of a customer service case). Bizarre. I informed the other customer, who was equally surprised but somewhat grateful for the notification. And I spent an hour or so reporting the incident to various levels of Asics worldwide (I'm in Canada, this customer was in the USA, and their privacy office apparently resides in the EU), partly out of curiosity to see how a small but concerning issue might be handled.

Summary: Asics' privacy office got a customer service manager to contact me for details of the incident. They said "sorry" and "it won't happen again". Okay. ?
I don't think it has to be a binary choice. I've often thought Tasmanian Devils¹ would be a great candidate for domestication, at least while they're under threat from the facial tumour.²

I'm using ETY plugs [1]. They took a little bit of getting used to, as they go quite far into your ear, but they're really good and comfortable to wear all day. They're quite cheap too.

They reduce enough sound that I can stand in front of a festival speaker stack for 6 hours and my hearing will be fine. Their sound reproduction is really good too, it doesn't mute the highs or make you feel like you're listening to everything underwater.

They guys at the shop said that they're not ideal if you're a performing musician or a DJ, and I'd agree with them, but if you're just on the dance floor they're great.

They also come with a string and a case so you don't lose them.

This sounds like a possible reason why they can’t disclose the full extent of it. Cloudbleed was pretty tough to ascertain the extent of. Not a lot of caches I’ve had experience with have deep tools for introspection and auditing. I don’t believe they’re developed that way.

> I really wish mobile devices had one or two modifier buttons on the side.

Look, I feel you in terms of lost functionality, but I don't when it comes to trying to explain how these systems work to my family. Android was notoriously bad because the back stack behaved totally sane to programmers, and insane to everyone else. When Android had a "menu" button on the bottom too, it was another source of confusion. "What does the menu button do?" Thinking back further, I know for a fact my mom didn't even know her phone had a trackball on it (hiya Android 2.x era), but she was mystified when I told her what it was and what it did.

I'd rather someone fix the design problem of mapping taps to different things than add more buttons that are impossible to explain.
This is still perfectly synonymous with regular build tools, like running a rebuild in Jenkins or ‘build with parameters.’ The point is to treat builds and runs of an experiment setup exactly the same, with the same tooling, monitoring, data capturing, etc., as any other deployed program. There is nothing special about a one-off job that trains a model or computes an experimental result compared with jobs that perform an experiment on database tuning or test load on a web service or any other type of deployed job. You have monitoring and probing of key stats and health of the experiment, you can reproduce the exact run or the same run with modified parameters, and the run produces output artifacts or writes data. It’s all perfectly the same.

Basically if someone shows me a supposed ML experiment tracking system, the first question is, “If I replace the phrase ‘ML experiment’ with ‘generic computing task’, does the tool still handle everything exactly the same?”

If not, it’s a failed idea, because you’re trying to break model training or tuning jobs out of the regular deployment model and you’re not using consistent tooling to manage deployment of experiment runs and all other types of “jobs” that you can “run.”
>I ask this because I'm 4-years-experienced as a front-end UI/interaction dev, nothing but glowing references, looking for another, similar, position (regular, not senior or lead) and have had...way too many interviews and rejections, and can't understand why companies are such sticklers for interested devs to have Every Single Box in their list of requirements checked when it would take days or a couple weeks to learn XYZ framework/library/whatever to the level of competence that is required for the position.

I've found myself in the exact same situation lately. It seems companies are not actually hiring for people to do a job, but simply trolling the market for who they can find. The result is wasting weeks of your life being strung along through their "process", only to be given a form letter rejection.

I quit my job at the time after months of these nonstop recruiter emails enticing me, and wasted 2 months going through this ruse with a couple companies, only to be left with a feeling of total defeat and a Bay Area rent payment eating me alive. To anyone considering doing the same, think twice. It's pretty maddening not even being able to land an in-person interview with 4 years experience.
That's the only one example I can think of. Are there any others?

Seconding this, have you ever been evaluated for ADD/ADHD? If you feel like you are constantly failing to achieve your potential, can't focus on one thing long enough to be successful, intimidated by hard work/the grind, find simple but boring things like remembering to do chores difficult, you may be dealing with this issue. Speak to a doctor about it (even though it's scary - do it! You'll be glad you did if this describes you).

Ask HN: Is Atom now dead in the water?
Now that VSCode is clearly the winner - and not only that, Microsoft acquired Github, is Atom now dead in the water?

Why would Microsoft continue to support Atom, when VSCode is 200% better?
C is so much fun though. Having so much direct control over everything, no layers of abstraction clouding your view, is incredibly enjoyable in the right context.
Who was the famous thinker who said less words are better?

And please see my comment up a level but still below my original comment. Long to story, the IC, by definition, shouldn't be afraid to use the word meta-cognition; it ultimately exposes its analysts to another area of study that could / would broaden then. The irony being, this is what this book is championing.

If the IC is too good for dog fooding then we're all in big trouble.
There should be one more reason: businesses that want to sell to that specific category.

There will be Hammer conferences if there are companies that make "handle grips" or "hand hammer protectors" who are willing to sponsor such events.
Ah, I see what you mean, at least about the other person's data being exposed to you. I interpreted your story as someone making unauthorized purchases on your account. Do you think they accidentally merged your account or order history with this other person's? That's much worse than what they're currently admitting to, to say the least.

My other question is where you saw the email address on the order record. I'm looking at my order history and can't even find my own email.
Somebody once posted a well known news website with an alternate link that loaded instantly. Anyone remember this? I don't remember if it was WSJ, or NYT or something else.
AFAIK, there's no way to inject new keys, so you have a exclusive choice between running Linux and having secure boot enabled.

So it doesn't stop you in a way a game console might, but you lose some features of the hardware by doing so.
Please report your findings. This sounds like great research.
The machine you posted is pretty typical of PC gamers according to the steam user survey (https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey?platform=combined). 8GB+ of RAM only got to 50% of users a couple of years ago. I suspect most non-pc gamers machines to be even worse, the firefox survey has 30% of people still on 4GB: https://data.firefox.com/dashboard/hardware .

Agreed, I think MS are dogfooding exclusively on surface books.
The most useful one by a long degree for me was one where the professor was exceptional and one I related heavily with and learned from personally. At least at my uni there were very few of those. It was a capstone course in some humanities subject. I have come to believe that students often significantly underestimate the effect a professor can have, and it’s very worthwhile to research and even meet potential future professors/mentors prior to signing on to a course where $100s-$1000s will be spent (it’s actually kind of insane that most people don’t spend more time on this given the cost.)
No, it's not.

One thing I wanted to add is that I wanted to report this issue to Amazon right away, it was very concerning to me. So, I clicked Ctrl+F to search for "contact" then "support", I went quickly through a few drop downs on the navbar, and I found nowhere any indication I can easily contact Amazon support to report it. I moved on and forgotten about this. So many companies make it super hard to contact their support.
There's no shortage of developers, but big tech companies are attempting to increase the supply of developers to reduce the cost of developers?
A ThinkPad x1 14" model weighs the same as the Pinebook, and is roughly similar in size. Even an older model x1 would run circles around a Pinebook in most every respect. ThinkPad x2x0 models weigh in heftier, but generally can be found at prices aren't much higher than a Pinebook. For heavy typing there's practically nothing to recommend but ThinkPads.

The T2 does so much, essentially running an OS comparable to iOS. The author even suggests it might allow apps.

It doesn't seem like it's a gain in security. Instead of attacking the "main system", you can just attack the T2; it's similar in complexity, meaning it will have similar vulnerabilities.
