Another use case for me is that I can more easily route audio from sources and applications to other applications, using JACK (and Patchage as a GUI).
Correction: we're sending a lot of the homeless back to the cities they came from.

(Texas used to brag about shipping their homeless problem to LA.)
Do consider some positions may get 1000s of applications and render your method impractical.
How would you recommend hiring a resume writer to do a review?

I have two resumes, my master long form document which covers everything I've ever done, and my "working" resume, which is what I tend to send out, and might get lightly massaged for positions.
If the US priced oil in gold, it would hurt the US economy in a big way, you are correct. This is part of the reason Saddam and Gaddafi were put in the ground, they wanted to do just that.

Not only does the US get to print the currency that oil is traded in willy-nilly. US also gets to export the resulting inflation (from excessive printing) to the rest of the world.
This sounds like a fantastic idea. You would go from 4000 directories and 50000 files to a single file with b-tree indices, hashes, etc. You could probably get a 100x speedup over the current approach.
I ran a big (for the region) general (as in not niche) dating site and I would say it is more nuanced than that. By far most people complaining that they did not get any interest had minimal profiles. When they wrote more, they got more. When they wrote too much, it went down again. So minimum as in; the minimum to entice, and I would say most people do not know what that is, so they write too little or too much as a result. Probably the same for resumes.

Ammonia—a renewable fuel made from sun, air, and water—could power the globe without carbon

https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2018/07/ammonia-renewable-fu...

Excerpt:

Ammonia's energy density by volume is nearly double that of liquid hydrogen — its primary competitor as a green alternative fuel and it is easier to ship and distribute. "You can store it, ship it, burn it, and convert it back into hydrogen and nitrogen,".

..he shows off one of the devices, about the size of a hockey puck and clad in stainless steel. Two plastic tubes on its backside feed it nitrogen gas and water, and a power cord supplies electricity. Through a third tube on its front, it silently exhales gaseous ammonia, all without the heat, pressure, and carbon emissions normally needed to make the chemical. "This is breathing nitrogen in and breathing ammonia out,".

Companies around the world already produce $60 billion worth of ammonia every year, primarily as fertilizer, and MacFarlane's gizmo may allow them to make it more efficiently and cleanly. But he has ambitions to do much more than help farmers. By converting renewable electricity into an energy-rich gas that can easily be cooled and squeezed into a liquid fuel, MacFarlane's fuel cell effectively bottles sunshine and wind, turning them into a commodity that can be shipped anywhere in the world and converted back into electricity or hydrogen gas to power fuel cell vehicles..
I work remotely 95% of the time, so no, there isn't any use in going to an office. But the office-vs-remote axis is a red herring IMHO. Communication happens via a variety of mediums, and remote workers aren't reclusive hermits who never speak to anyone unless it's via JIRA ticket.
Presumably OP wants a decent relationship rather than just another increment on his scorecard. But point taken if the goal is to maximize the number of yeses.

Avoiding CVs like these is a culmination of multiple factors, having a line that says "I like fishing, tea, and woodworking" can be completely acceptable. Packing it with obnoxious words like "afficionado" is a red flag to me.

I do wonder how putting your interests in the CV makes the company care? Where I work there is plenty of care regardless if you put it on your CV or not.
Skills or tools are keyword dumps, use them as such (which in later revisions may include removing them or moving some to be contextualized in job descriptions). My own rule is to only list things I think I could adequately answer a bunch of random questions on; sometimes you might only realize you couldn't when you meet a line of questioning that totally defeats you. I don't put a proficiency level, if it's present then I'm proficient if perhaps also rusty. (Stating proficiency levels has a tendency to bring the knives out, "advanced" or "expert" begs to be challenged, and something like "mastery in C++" -- is your name Bjarne?)

> At how many lines of code can I call myself proficient in a language?

If you want a target to shoot for, I'll give you one, but don't really follow it... LoC is kind of meaningless on its own in part because it's contextual on many things (you highlighted one context, lines copied, I'll use a different context). 1k lines if paid for them, 6k-10k if not. This doesn't include lines added and then deleted (i.e. if your only project in FooLang weighs 300 lines, it's 300 lines, even if making the project involved adding 100 lines, deleting 50, adding 500 lines, deleting 100, editing 300, deleting ...) you need projects whose sum mass is 1k. Probably better to have at least one 1k+ project too, especially if it's unpaid. But again, don't follow this, it's just a somewhat random target to answer the question. Better to think about what this could be a proxy for, and target that instead.
There should be at least one clean and safe public toilet per block that has a "defecation crisis".

Instead, SF has maybe one public toilet per 20 or 30 blocks in the most concentrated downtown areas, if that. I personally know of only maybe 3 or 4 public toilets in all of SF.

Toilet use at private businesses is also sometimes an option, but often in neighborhoods with large homeless populations those businesses either restrict toilet use to customers or only let the staff use their toilets. Of course, homeless people can rarely afford to keep spending money to purchase things from these businesses multiple times per day just to use their toilets, not to mention that virtually all these businesses close for the night in SF, making it impossible to find a toilet in some areas at night.
Ya, all excellent points. Thanks for being analytical when so much discussion is a direct jump into dogma these days.

It’s pretty much exactly what this HK lady says as well https://youtu.be/WgplCDxvXN4 (sorry, it’s in canto). The reference to Lee Kuan Yew was particularly interesting.
For someone mid career I'd expect a resume to cover the last 10 years of employment, which of you've done lots of contracting might take upwards of three pages to cover.

Is this unreasonable?
It is important in programming and other skilled trade, except if they’re going to work in a vacuum. A good fit for the team will always be a win over time.
Worth noting that the preprocessor made this so easy that they had to create a separate division, and templates made it easy for most of the rest. Future language designers, take note.
> ... these are stories by rich people for rich people about poor people which don't take into account the actual lived experiences of poor people.

I think the article means to take it a step further—these are stories by rich people for [mostly] rich people about poor people that build and reinforce a narrative and expectation that the context of the perseverance isn’t the real story. By crafting/telling/writing/broadcasting perseverance porn, media are objectifying and fetishizing perseverance in a manner that enables the audience to ignore the context and enjoy the “good stuff”—all while normalizing the horrific circumstances of each story. Perseverance is not only possible, it’s the goal! Meanwhile, viewers can sit back and blame those who didn’t persevere for their outcomes.

> The problem with perseverance porn is not the brave subjects of the articles, but the lack of any journalistic scrutiny examining the failings of society that placed them in such desperate circumstances to begin with.

> What these articles highlight so clearly is not only the grim, inhuman and unnecessary conditions so many Americans are forced to live under, but the degree to which mainstream corporate journalists have completely internalized them as unremarkable, inevitable facts of life, rather than the consequences of decades of neoliberal policies that have robbed Americans of dignity and basic human rights.
I don't really follow you. How is hiring based on merit a signal for valuing conformity and intolerance? It sounds like you are the one being judgmental.

Personally, I'd prefer to just be valued based on my skills and work product. The alternatives risk being possibly very bad in my experience: possibly valuing politics, nepotism, etc., which obviously gets toxic and unfair very quickly.
Easy: people require infrastructure and many land developers ignore it. More lanes on roads being a big one. In my former neck of the woods, a developer is putting in 1 or 2 thousands homes. They will connect right onto the two lane highway, miles from the freeway that already has too much traffic causing chaos in the rush hours. The developers will make a bundle if they don't go bankrupt first, and the community will be worse off.
The way most fields that require some level of knowledge or ability handle this is by having industry-standard assessments that everyone takes. When doctors interview they get almost entirely behavioral questions because the hiring hospital / office merely needs to check that the doctor is a) licensed and b) certified in whatever specialty they are being hired for. They certainly never get asked whatever the medical equivalent of FizzBuzz might be.
Depends on the accepted practices. For example in France it's always welcome (AFAIK).
Resp to deleted comment:

sqlite is considered such because it's open source and well tested. That doesn't seem to imply to me that the tests are also open source. I don't think Hipp is lying about his proprietary test suite, so I just can't convince myself to lose sleep over this.
But does it really reduce your standard in those systems? I know it's really hard to properly compare the costs of something like this between countries, but it would be interesting to know how much you need to spend on healthcare in the US to get similar benefits as in some European country purely with public healthcare. Since another benefit of public health care is that you can be reasonably sure people around you are healthy and not dragging themselves to work with god knows what since they can't afford treatment. Be it your colleague or the cashier at the store.

It's actually quite baffling how Americans generally seem much more generous, warm and helpful to their fellow human beings, but the idea of potentially paying for someone else's medical treatment seems absolutely outrageous to most.
I am aware of the Carnot efficiency, my issue with the engineers is that they can't make big gains anymore, exactly because of the Carnot limit.

Best way of making a gasoline car (not the engine - the car) efficient is taking the throttle of the engine out and attaching a hybrid/regenerative generator/motor to it.
But a lot of countries dubbed as having "universal healthcare" don't actually have universal healthcare. A lot of them only cover some services and still require you to pay into the system to receive care.

It's not sunshine and rainbows in many European countries either. Maybe it is that way in the rich ones, but not all of them.
If by limited you mean limited by the amount of memory your machine has then yes it's limited, but I don't think that's what parent was getting at, since in that sense everything about a computer is limited.
Just giving broader context of the news in question, and how e.g. it is exceptional for a first world country to have children working in order to pay for their brother’s health treatments (an example in the linked article), would be very effective, and IMHO not spin at all.

I’m aware though that discussing reality is sometimes “too political”...
You seem to be defending the perpetuation of bias: hiring based on properties of a person that are orthogonal to technical skill. Bias comes in many shapes and sizes. For example, hiring only white people would be a form of bias. Likewise, hiring only those who share the same interests as the hiring manager is a form of bias. Even looking out for the mere presence of an "interests & hobbies" section on the resume can be considered bias.
> Our parks aren't by any means pristine but we don't suddenly sprout tent cities every summer.

Come for a walk with me. There are tents and makeshift shelters in the north end of Central Park (west side, north of 96th) and in the parks along both rivers if you know where to look.
Yea, that makes sense, then gives you an easy path to charging a tax with revenues going to offsets or sequestration based on the number on the sticker.
If i click the above article link, then come back to this thread, will i find a unique id used to track me planted somewhere amongst my cookies?
From being involved with non-anecdotal data sets on the subject I can say its actually the other way around.

With those little tidbits of virtue signaling that you choose to put in the resume usually give the opportunity for the reviewer to see you as more the “just a react dev” and depending on how many people your are competing with - gives you the edge.

Experience speaks for itself, and if you have the creds then sure those things can look like pure cruft, but what if you’re just starting out? You need something to stand out, and like it or not most reviewers are humans too, even worse - are not strictly technical, so if you for example like to run, mention that in your resume, and the HR person is also a runner, well he can recommend you based on “gut feeling” and how “runners are more emotionally stable and reliable” or some such.

And if by a chance their resume ends up reviewed and judged negatively base on non technical prejudice or something, well you’re better of not working there anyway, as it will probably be damaging emotionally in the long run.
No matter what created the horrible situation, getting out of it by perseverance and cleverness is good.

Sure better health care or whatever could have prevented the situation, but that's not the subject. We don't live in a perfect world, and these stories tell you that even if you can't change the world, you can still solve your own problems.

And if such articles are a problem than what about celebration of war heroes. Do we need to forget their resolve in the face of adversity just because war is essentially state sanctioned mass murder?
There's lots of institutional type furniture that is manufactured using mixed recycled plastics.

Benches and outdoor tables and things like that.
I'd be fine with a resume that included some modern design elements, especially if it were a position which might involve some design work. A "by the numbers" summary could make it easier to see the points a candidate thinks are important.

But a photograph would make me immediately pass. There's no way for me to be sure I can avoid prejudice. I already hate that resumes include names/addresses in such a prominent place. Those should be off to the side, so they can easily be removed before the resume even gets to me.

> The flashy résumés are colliding with efforts by employers to strip down CVs to their most basic elements—coding skills, college degrees, work histories—to reduce bias in hiring. Many companies run résumés through tools called applicant tracking systems that remove photos and other design embellishments. Others are looking for ways to blind out even names and addresses, which could reveal gender, race or socioeconomic status.

Exactly! We should be trying to reduce bias in hiring, not add to it. This is exactly what is meant by "privilege". Either they're hoping to get hired based on how they look, or they don't realize or care that they're creating more work for someone else to strip out all this junk before anyone can read it.
The privilege of beauty.

It's a thing I've reckoned with my entire life, though I only really realized what it was in the last 5 years.
You could adjust the level of detail, maybe covering many clients in a sentence like "developed software systems for Drexler (1956-1957) NASA (1957-1958), Scranton Paper Products (1958-1959)..."
I think I am - the article describes people trying to help as a 'reprehensible story treated as heroic'. The people trying to help can be heroic, even if they shouldn't have to help. Isn't that the situation for most people trying to help anyway? Ideally they wouldn't have to help. But they can still be heroic, not reprehensible.
Performance plans, or performance improvement plans, are extremely verbose formal documents that are used as a last step to tie up all legal requirements before terminating an employee. These are most commonly used in countries outside US.

Most of the US follows At-will employment[0], so generally no performance plans are necessary.

This is not public. We've only used it twice, one person was suspected of misappropriation of funds (and later proven), and one that's currently in motion is an employee that misrepresented their technical knowledge i.e. cannot write code, convinced other employees to do 90% of their contributions.

I get that there is this impression of the US whipping everyone until they work themselves to death. Anecdotal, but I've never really experienced that. If anything, the folk in the US like being busy, and workplaces (at least in tech) are overly happy, in something that reminds me of a cult.

I have lived an worked in 5 countries in 3 continents and worked with people living in many more countries. In my own observations, the US colleagues have usually exhibited the highest level of happiness/satisfaction. They also tend to find their next jobs the quickest. And are paid the highest.

You probably need to be careful about where you put your job adverts. If your job add is on monster and the other job sites with lower quality inventory your going to get a lot of applicants.

In the UK I used to use monster etal as a way to hit my required quota of job applications - in the UK you have to in theory spend x hours a week and submit n job applications or you may lose your JSA (unemployment pay)
Yes, fair enough. Note that I never accused anybody of not telling the truth. My point was about how useful sqlite can be as the posterchild example of a good test suite when we can't see the secret sauce. Not that it doesn't exist. I deleted the other comment because after reading yours I realised it was needlessly controversial. I think you're right in that SQLite can be considered an example of having a good test suite when looked at from a different perspective, just not from the point of it (the test suite) being open source.
It's a fair criticism of Swift that it is not well supported across platforms. The story is getting better, but it is still miles behind Rust in this regard. I am a huge fan of Swift as a language, but I am very critical of the tooling.

> Modern Rust isn't difficult to use. This is becoming a really tired meme from detractors.

I beg to differ. I've been programming professionally for over a decade, and I have shipped projects in a variety of languages, and I can safely say that Rust has a steeper learning curve and requires more cognitive overhead to use than many other languages. I find it relatively nice to work with rust in spite of this because the tooling is so great, but it's undeniable that Rust has made tradeoffs which sacrifice ease of use in favor of safety and performance.
It's probably alien because you haven't looked around. In quite a few European countries you can easily end up in a situation with no healthcare available to you other than the ER (eg if you're unemployed but don't get unemployment benefits). It's also not unheard of that people just can't afford treatment for their illness or even worse - the treatment just isn't available.
Well, word2vec has been reduced down to matrix factorization with Glove (the reformulation into linear algebra managed to get similar result but one order of magnitude faster) so it does make sense to try that first.
Spoken like someone who has truly zero understanding of how RAM usage relates to performance.

Repeat after me: high data locality reduces the amount of cache misses, which drastically reduces memory latency, and is only achievable through systematic memory usage conservativism.
Scaling Your Elasticsearch Indexing with Spark
The only bit of that advice that is remotely good is #6. The rest is useless at best and counterproductive at worst. What ever happened to traditional resume strategies like STAR and quantifying value? Done college career offices know about these anymore?
Alaska records its warmest month ever; future records likely
California has a big net-influx of homeless because of both relatively generous legal environment and state services (even if there is a shelter crisis) and favorable weather.

Yes, California is trying to send some of the homeless back to where they come from, to little avail.
I am surprised, I thought having a photo on your resume is an absolute no-go in the US.
You are already screwed in that case without an internal rec. HR/recruiter resume filtering is extremely crude, maybe look at the prestige of your school, the prestige of your former companies, and some keyword matching.
I've been somewhat thrilled by the Twist teamwork app [1], I think it's built by the Todoist team, at least the company is the same. It specifically tries to bring back the focus aspect and goes against Slack [2].

Unfortunately my team is too small to have a substantial test whether it scales well, but on the surface, it seems quite a wonderful email and Slack replacement.

Did anyone else read that first sentence as 'Where did all the codE go?" And then do a double-take? Maybe I need more coffee....
That is Problematic on so many grounds. I am surprised the EU hasn't banned that on discrimination grounds.
That doesn't explain why people who can't afford health insurance are opposed to universal, government-funded healthcare, which is what the comment above you was about.

Meanwhile, I (SRE at a hedge fund) and all my liberal coastal elite friends can absolutely afford private doctors in an emergency without having to think about cost up front, and we do support universal healthcare—and we know it would be a larger tax bill for us.

(BTW, in practical terms, putting liberal elites in well-paying, politically-connected industries on your healthcare system is a great way to make sure it doesn't turn into the VA. America cares deeply about our happiness. It doesn't care about our veterans and sort of wishes they hadn't survive, so we could just remember their sacrifice instead of actually facing up to what we did to them.)
I review hundreds of resumes a quarter, I find most resumes are under two pages for people straight out of college. People with 5+ years of experience will often hit two pages, which IMO is fine. I just expect everything to be on point.

The reality is people with these kind of resumes are trying to game the word search systems, which look for specific experience. It’s a sound strategy for automated systems, not so much for humans.

I personally think 2 pages is enough to get you in the door. So I expect 2 pages or less, but don’t penalize too much for large resumes. I just won’t read past the first page.
I'd be surprised if any states didn't do that. Anyone shouldering the cost providing for you is typically thrilled to buy you a one way ticket anywhere you'd like to go.
