Hi HN! Introducing Jobagon, the one page for organizing your job search!

If you're looking for a job, you should definitely organize your search, and now you can use Jobagon for that purpose. Job seekers who organize their search are likely to explore more jobs, be more confident in their search, and ultimately find a better job and even negotiate for better compensation. (I've tried both applying haphazardly vs planning my search throughout my career, and have watched friends do the same, and have seen the difference it makes first hand!)

What makes Jobagon better than your basic spreadsheet is that it's built for job seekers. This means it has features like status tracking (unapplied, applied, phone screen, onsite interview, etc), 1-5 star ratings, notes (have you tried taking notes in a spreadsheet? - the tiny cell UI makes it so hard!), etc. It also imports company data when it can, like the size of the company, headquarters location, and funding. Finally, Jobagon provides quick links for you, such as company links to Glassdoor, Crunchbase, or Paysa for compensation data.

Try it out if you're looking for a job!
The graph makes it look like about 90% of the requests are apple, so I think this is intended to be serving more like 4.5TB per day. At that rate, I don't think its a terrible way to handle it, since S3 handles things all of the HA and scaling stuff internally. They clearly didn't expect apple to go whole hog on the service.
Hi, yeah I figured that was the point they were making, I kinda wanted to provide the info (in a round-about way lol) that he specifically is a non-native English speaker, so that's why it comes off as a bit forced-friendly and PR-ish. I do appreciate this feedback from both of you, I will mentor them a bit better about this!
Cosmoteer is a really great game, I had lots of fun building railgun ships and trying to cut opponents in half, or killing people in a hail of missiles. It's good fun trying to design the optimal ship and I like how building a powerful ship naturally leads to your ship being vulnerable.

I'm working on a game that is a little more "Space Factory" and a little less "Space Combat" oriented because I'm always the guy building the asteroid mining ships. So it's really great to see space games like ours getting some love on HN.

Pretty early days yet. Using Godot and Rust for game dev, it's good fun so far. Hit me up if you have any questions.

Be sure to wishlist Cosmoteer on steam. Lets help our fellow indie devs.

Short sighted? Games have been developed for windows first (or X-console-first) for going on 25 years. Seems like game developers have done OK with that strategy.

The fact that windows-only is a poor business decision isn't obvious to me.
> The law allows the EPA to grant the waiver. It doesn't require them to do it.

The bigger nitpick is that it's not clear that the Clean Air Act allows for revoking previously granted waivers.
KirinDave's definition of "in good faith" only includes positions/arguments/opinions they agree with.
Sealed vs Unsealed has more nuanced definitions than just "letter"/speech and "item"/things, though. If you look a bit further past the quotes you provided, you'll see:

>Sealed mail includes: First-Class Mail; Priority Mail; Priority Mail Express;

Shipped packages ("things") can be (but aren't always) sent as First Class or Priority Mail, and thus would fall under the "sealed" category as well.

OTOH, you can also send normal letters (not periodicals or marketing material) as "standard mail" which would make them unsealed (I don't know why you would do this as opposed to sending it as First Class or Priority, but you can).

Basically, USPS provides a service where, regardless of what you are sending in most cases, you can choose whether or not you want it protected by the 4th amendment. The origins of this "choice" (and why it isn't the standard to always being protected) is where I am more confused. And when talking about parallels to electronic media, I think this is an important point, because if this is the case for physical mail, it also stands to reason that electronic media for some reason might not default to being protected by the 4th amendment, either.
I don't think that logic even works from an originalist perspective. If the bank holds a safe deposit box on your behalf it doesn't become the banks property unless you abandon it and searching it is no less legally problematic because its lies within the banks property.

One doesn't even have to reach into the realms of tech not imagined at the founders time to find useful analogies.

Furthermore the idea that a document written hundreds of years ago can't be reinterpreted in the context of framers intentions and new reality is fundamentally broken.

It means you have to rewrite from scratch every century.
> The problem with this fear of "cancel culture" (which as others have mentioned is really just "holding powerful people accountable when they do bad things culture")

That's, perhaps unintentional, misunderstanding and misrepresentation of what people worried about it mean by it. The problem with "cancel culture" is the propensity to "shoot first, ask questions later", the doling out of punishment grossly unproportional to the crime. Like in this case - ruining one's entire career for the crime of being pedantic and tactless on a semi-public mailing list[0]. Or, in another, overhearing a joke in a private conversation between two people and making a social media mess that resulted in termination of the joker.

The problem with "cancel culture" isn't the part where it aims to hold people accountable for their behavior. The problem is with the mechanism, which involves setting off a chain reaction. There's the wronged or felt-offended party and initial outrage, which gets amplified as the stories get reshared and republished, usually accruing misrepresentations and outright lies in the process, until the reaction fizzles out in a day or three, and punishment happens. You'll note here that the final impact is not correlated with the scale of the initial wrongdoing, but with how many people get outraged how fast, and how far they reshare, all of which is moderated by how misleading can the story be made and by what else is currently on the news.

I think it isn't fair to dismiss concerns of people worried that "holding people into account" - not just powerful ones, but regular ones too - increasingly often involves attempts at setting off a social equivalent of an ad-hoc, hastly-made fission bomb.

Well, I guess it would be high on a typical loan. On an overnight loan, the difference between 9% APR and 1% APR is the difference between paying 0.0236% in interest for the loan and paying and 0.00273% [1].

Why do banks need special assistance in that situation? If you depend on your input prices not going up by that much for a short period, you're hosed anyway...

Allows federal agents to follow sophisticated terrorists trained to evade detection. For years, law enforcement has been able to use "roving wiretaps" to investigate ordinary crimes, including drug offenses and racketeering. A roving wiretap can be authorized by a federal judge to apply to a particular suspect, rather than a particular phone or communications device. Because international terrorists are sophisticated and trained to thwart surveillance by rapidly changing locations and communication devices such as cell phones, the Act authorized agents to seek court permission to use the same techniques in national security investigations to track terrorists.[1]

This was just a cursory look into the Act. To be fair, it looks like there is a judge involved but who knows how rigorous the approval procedure is. It didn't read to me as a 'carte blanche' approval, but again, it may be in the eye of the beholder of the agency/judge.

This problem is solved by the GPL/AGPL. Id corporations want the code then they need to contribute back, simple. But then the Silicon Valley startup culture started whining about not being able to use all that tasty free code and have produced a culture shift towards corporate friendly licenses.
This must mean aliens are real, and the Storm Area 51 meme was started by the government. They can't tell the public that aliens exist because there is an ancient contract. But, if the public were to storm Area 51 and discover it for themselves - the government can't take the fall when the angry aliens come back asking why the secret got out. They've released this information in an attempt to reignite interest in storming Area 51.

I wish I was crazy enough to believe my own theories. Or crazy enough to stay off HN making alien theories when my database is on fire.

Well. That's a nice way to end my workday. Goodnight everybody!
> The plane should be able to figure out via GPS

Commercial planes don't do much with GPS. Flight systems are slaved to the Inertial Navigation System.

Another sibling post already talks about this.

Note that the only thing the plane can do is to warn.
Not just "work for" but "have ever worked for" which is, at this point, a much larger number.

What percentage of developers that is I haven't the faintest clue. But definitely significantly more than 10% of my friends have worked for at least one of FAAMNG. And I have a lot of non-nerd friends too.

The propinquity is insane. When my GF decided to leave MS she walked from her MS building on her lunch break to her interviews at Google and LinkedIn (LI has subsequently moved). Of course the inverse is true too: there aren't many startups in that area, except in the Landings complex (where Cygnus used to be!).
Yep, this is exactly the reason they exist.
The patent examination process is not well understood by most people.

Once a patent is received, the patent examiner carefully places the application into a room full of other patent applications.

Then kittens are released into the room with PATENT GRANTED stamps affixed to their feet.

The kittens are then returned to their holding area to await the next round of patent examination.

The patent examiners collect the applications from the floor and look to see which patent applications were granted.
The problem is the witch hunting. Invariably the wrongthink gets "leaked" to the bottom-dweller clickbait outfits like Vice or Slate who then feed it into the court of public opinion. I agree that there are a great number of things I shouldn't say at work, but that also doesn't mean I'm okay with the threat of being very publicly outed if I do. To me it's very close to the "well if you have nothing to hide" argument.
> it turns out we're making mountains out of mole hills.

Except we're not, are we?

We're talking about RMS's firmly held, often repeated, views on child sexual abuse. He keeps saying that it's not that harmful; that images are fine; that coercion isn't force.

This latest episode, where he interjects his "well actually" to say that assault is the wrong word (because he mistakenly thinks assault requires use of force) is yet another example where he could have said nothing, or he could have done a little bit of research before speaking. Instead chose to deliver his weird definition of assault in a thread to defend the actions of Minsky.
I don't think anyone is defending child rape, but rather questioning what even constitutes "child rape." There's obviously a difference between a 7 year old and a 17 year old, and using one term (child) to describe both cases seems strange.
> In recent months, the administration’s broader weakening of nationwide auto-emissions standards has become plagued with delays as staff members struggled to prepare adequate legal, technical or scientific justifications for the move.

As a practical matter, I'd encourage them to work in the other direction: from justifications to policy. Do they need justifications for any legal reason or only for public relations?
We cannot allow the norm of "people are responsible for all possible interpretations of what they said". This is completely untenable. The misquotes in Vice etc amount to extracting a single adjective phrase "entirely willing" and adding non-existing context around it. There is no protection against that kind of malicious misquoting.

In a world where wilful misinterpretation was not somehow weaponised I would agree with you, but that is not this world. This norm would leave every PR person completely at the mercy of any enemies they are unlucky enough to make.
Yev here -> Maybe! That was one avenue we were considering - do the announcement, then make the increase only effective for new users instead of existing. I think one of the reasons we shied away from that was it would create different user "classes" and we'd need to keep that tracked somewhere, so it would still have been some engineering effort to make sure that all the billing code worked correctly. Eventually we decided on the extension program because it also moved up some revenue, even though it was deferred.

Your claims may all true and may all reflect bad behaviors, but I don't see any evidence that they were involved here.
Evidently ctenophores don't use serotonin anymore, and have found some other molecule they like better for what they are doing. There is nothing special about the molecules we use, they just happen to fit the receptors we use, so switching would require changing both, which is too hard to bother with.

If you haven't watched youtube videos of ctenophores eating one another yet, you are in for a treat.
Fair, we went off a tangent. So going back to the point: in this case, the consequences are grossly unproportional to the misdeed that happened.
This isn't paying because of who they are, this is paying to be prioritized outside the normal process. They are 'adding resources to the project', in the form of money (which will hopefully draw in more developer time, another resource)

What will happen as the end of the “transition” nears? Few in HK I assume will accept that the HK system is replaced with Chinese eceonomics and politics. By the time this question arises, everything indicates China will already be an Orwellian dystopia. HK doesn’t have natural resources. Its citizens and businesses can leave. So what China really stand to gain from its claims on HK?
I'd be curious to see an explanation of why just knowing about jury nullification would disqualify you from being on a jury - obviously if you intend to nullify or "helpfully" inform the other jurors about nullification you should disclose it and therefore be disqualified, but I do not see how knowledge of nullification counts as something that should disqualify you if you have no intention of nullifying.

>This is yet another way to avoid exposing real circumstances AND reap funds to continue black-budget trafficking operations (precedent setting [see DanielBMarkham's assessment], plus avoiding certain due process rights.)

The government will make an example of him to deter others, and use the winnings from the lawsuit to fund more misdeeds. And a civil proceeding has lower standards/Constitutional protections than a criminal trial.

>It will not succeed because these measures stand between everyone who has not had their circumstances optimized by bad, withholding leadership.. preventing the better results in the advancement of types of people everywhere. Myself included!

The elites have set up a system that benefits themselves to the detriment of many other classes of people. It's not sustainable.

>Asymmetry of information has overrun the optimum curves of received value for all peoples. Now there must be more clarity amidst those elites to reform their appetites/waste/projected powers, lest they get priced-out by their own over-runs.

Elites maintain power in part by knowing more about what is, and what is coming, than anyone else. But if they take too much advantage of it, they will get voted/run out of government by the people who are being unjustly treated.

>A way of saying: evil loses. Nature and dignity are neutral. These methods are not. They break the system that keeps balance, so WHY a unique ruling matters a great deal more than a blanket pronouncement OR precedent- setting to avoid getting caught in abuses-of-trust.

Evil isn't sustainable, truth prevails. But the elites try hard to keep the wool over people's eyes.

If you expect money or compensation for your hard work, charge money and have a commercial license. Plenty of open source developers do this and make a living.

It just seems disingenuous to me to give out your work for free, with little to no strings attached, and then expect companies to either give back or pay you money.

This isn't really what the open source movement is all about. I've contributed to and release many libraries as open source. There are many companies using it, for free, and not giving me anything in return. I really don't care, because I just wanted to release something that anybody could use.

I feel like the movement is starting to turn from giving code away for free to all..to giving code away to only be used in the way I see fit.

Without having checked it:

1) Does it use templates? If so, resumes will probably look similar to each other, and not stand out from their competition. Is this assumption incorrect?

2) In my opinion, a developer using a resume generator sounds kind of unprofessional or even lazy ("highest quality developer resume in less than 5 minutes"), in contrast to say, using LaTeX (without templates).

No one is saying that paying more for a short period of time is going to destroy the financial system. However, if this does continue for a longer period of time, many cannot afford to finance at these rates and it also shows that the Fed has lost control of things.

Lost in this discussion is RMS was defending Marvin Minsky, not Jeffrey Epstein. That was unequivocally clear in RMS' public statements. Why step into the fray and defend Marvin Minsky? For starters Minsky is dead and as such is unable to defend himself. Is it still not considered poor form to attack dead people? Especially prominent, accomplished dead persons such as Marvin Minsky? Who also happens to have been a lifelong friend and mentor of RMS, someone whom RMS looked up to? The way I see it RMS was correct to spend his political capital defending his late friend Marvin Minsky. If only everybody had a friend like that.
