Wow! I really didn't expect the topic would get that much traction.

Props to the commnunity.

I'd like to summarize the points that stood the most strong to myself and that were most common among the commenters.

The obvious:

* Don't lie. If you don't feel like being completely upfront just keep back.

* Build confidence. You should not feel guilty for taking a break.

* Don't put the hiatus at the top of your work experience on CV.

The not so obvious:

* If you have been on medical, think twice if coming up with this is worth the risk. You may get chewed.

* Sabbatical is always a safe bet. Elaborate if needed on the achievements, personal growth, projects that you've been up to.

* Be prepared to get lowballed if you have no other offers at your disposal.

* Express eagerness to get back into the game.

The impalpable:

* Don't bring the break into focus unless the hiring manager brings it up.

* Prepare a good answer if being asked on the nature of the gap. Don't overburden with details, be brief and concise.

Feel free to add points that i might've missed.
And thanks again for the good advice.
There must be an opportunity to start outsourcing more legitimate work there.
Having enough sleep is the most important thing AFAIK. You should also make sure you get enough vitamins and other micronutrients - vitamin supplements are popularly overrated as a cure but this doesn't mean they're useless: they don't really cure but their deficit (and you can hardly expect you are not deficient in any) certainly weakens the immune system. Another interesting thing I have recently found out about is l.reutrti (BioGaia Gastrus) yogurt - it boosts respiratory immunity by increasing histamine.
I wanted to spend less time looking for my next trip and decided to create myself a Chrome Extension that shows me cheap flights at random dates from the nearest airport.

Finally decided to submit it on both Chrome and Firefox [1] extension stores. The app is made with Vanilla JS and jQuery and is currently translated into English and French.

I used Skyscanner's API for the flights, Google's Geocoding API to get the location, Lufthansa's API to get the nearest airport IATA code and Unsplash for the background pictures.

I'm pretty sure there is much to improve, so looking for feedback!

When I was a teenager, my mother was playing a lottery that sent out winnings as checks through the mail. She always gave those to me to cash in because I was the only one in the family who had a checking account at the local bank. Her bank did not have branch offices, so it was literally impossible for her to cash the check.

Than sha256 will likely be preferable in the long run: It's faster with SHA-NI than blake3.

If you're not developing on a system with sha-ni, get with the program. Zen2 is freeking awesome. :)
I'm waiting for Blake7.
>This is what the job is worth, if you want someone competent and responsible for thousands of employees and billions in revenue. Nobody is doing that for $1m/year when one wrong decision could end up costing 1000x more than their salary

I'll do it.

It's not like that one wrong decision ends up affecting them. Even if they get fired (which they often don't), they can exercise golden parachutes that will pay out many multiples of how much an average earner gets in a lifetime.

It's a job that gets paid a lot of money because the people who do it come from a fairly tight knit community that looks out for each other, not because of merit (CEO pay actually correlates slightly negatively with performance). Being an alumnus of McKinsey is actually one of the ways to enter that community.
Much better solution: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPECS_(speed_camera)

Basically two cameras at a set distance that measure the time it took from location A to B and calculates the average speed. Works like a charm: no more speed differences.

I used to visit this place a lot.

You're right about what you wrote. The coffeeshop is on a small plot raised pretty high off the ground. The only way you can get a ramp in there which is ADA compliant is by demolishing the patio area, which accounts for half the seating of the coffeeshop itself.
> You could say that I feel like the rules shouldn't have total access to dictate what I can and can't do with my body.

Depends on what they have total access to. There is no problem with having total access to the playing field and monitoring it. I would object if they came up with a brain implant that could figure out whether players were diving and made it mandatory for every player to wear it in order to play.

> For the sake of this example, please don't suggest saying that the rules should be changed by the players to accommodate both.

I'm not saying that. My problem is purely with the invasive detection software.

> please be aware this doesn't really work and is very ripe for abuse

> This had the net result of the match-making system not finding enough players for him/her to play against anymore.

This is a problem but it's a match making problem. People prefer to play with others of similar skill since being beaten over and over again is too frustrating. The better the player gets, the harder it is to find others of similar ability. I don't know the answer to this problem.

In this case people are still playing with strangers they don't know or trust, players who could be cheating. I think people should play with real life friends who they know and trust in real life. Much smaller groups that can police themselves. I've met competitive players who are part of local groups and who play only with each other so there are people doing this.

> Ultimately, to answer these questions you have to start asking the client to assist you by providing more signals, but when the client is under user-control it's trivial to lie to it. Hence the need to move some of the anti-cheat code to driver-space.

Kernel mode is still under the control of the user. Their detection software got way more invasive but it still can't make any guarantees.

They are trying to secure their game client against an adversary who has full physical and logical access to the entire system. Nothing they do can take control away from the user. They can only make it hard enough to prevent most people from trying.

> so what exactly do you expect the game companies to do when they run out of available server-side detection methods and still have a cheater problem to deal with that affects their bottom line?

I don't have an answer. I just hope they can come up with something that doesn't require me to place so much trust in them.
I thought of the same exact video (they got the service for free in return for the video/promo/shout-out).

I have watched most episodes of Shark Tank. I remember than when a 'pitcher' starts with the phrase "XYZ industry is a $$$$ billion business in the U.S., look like an upcoming target for disruption", the sharks start rolling their eyes. That person usually doesn't get the funding.

> As we've reported, Americans are generally moving less

We (the people not living in the USA) think that USA residents buy and sell houses 'frequently'. Buy --> wait --> price goes up --> sell --> buy the next house.

I think that a critical contribution to moving less is the financial crisis 2008-2018 it would make sense that people were stuck to the houses they bought, unable to perform the aforementioned loop, thus moving less.

This is pretty interesting and shows you shouldn't try to pull any sort of stunts if you're not a crypto expert. I've actually wondered before whether md5 + sha1 would result in something stronger than those two used individually. Now I know.
Lots of American poverty is hidden too. I'm from rural Oregon and there are tons of people that live on BLM land outside of city limits.
Value stocks might not be what you think.
They are stocks that are under-valued by the market relative to its "real" value... But that doesn't necessarily imply that those companies are inherently valuable.

You know, I respect Mike for what he created and I believe he should be doing very well. Still, he didn't do all the work himself. And billions of dollars is a ridiculous amount of wealth for someone to own. Employees should have gotten their fair share of that too.
No. Tipping is not a source of income in most of Europe. More places are even distributing the money or it may go to owner.

I'm from Austria. I'd be surprised if it were different in Germany. Again, I'm not a lawyer, but the way I've been told (by my brother, who is a lawyer) is that written and oral are equally binding. (I'd take it this is especially so for consumers.) Sure, you'll have a hard time proving agreement if there's no written record. But I do not think the law requires written agreement. If the mover says "I'll do it for 5k" and you say yes, then that is binding.

This is great news. I just started planning to build a video editing machine over the next few months. Are prices likely to come down more?

The AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-core was what I was looking at. This new 3990X looks amazing, but its probably overkill for what I need.
I know the point here is not to call out FB in useless arguments, but one thing I think is maybe fair to contribute is that FB groups [1] and pages have come to be the really useful parts of the ecosystem (notwithstanding Whatsapp). This also poses a problem that other sites (especially late 90's sites) have had, which is that they can lose their data at any time.

[1] A good example is the groups about the Kruger national park, about snakes, and about other animals in Southern Africa.
Length actually is already part of the hash result... and the sha-1 collision uses the same length pdfs.
> Have you been part of the hiring process before?

Yes for decades.

> It's very time-consuming, stressful, and hard to make a choice.

Yes

> From the interviewers perspective, there's a higher chance that the person who hasn't worked for 12+ months simply isn't good enough to find a job

This is called sexism.

Women are most likely to be the person who raises kids takes times off to help parents.

You have just justified sex discrimination. In you are interviewing, step up and do the job properly. Interview the candidate not your stereotype.
> In my city (Lviv, Ukraine), number of viral pneumonia cases is jumped by 4x since Jan 26, but we have no test kits to confirm kind of virus they caused by.

Add mosquitoes during those summers. Land of thousands of lakes has gazillions of them. Bigger ones then I was used from central Europe. Don't transmit any diseases, but boy having 50-100 stings on any non-covered part of the body is pretty annoying. After a week I've got used to it, you cover whatever you can, and unless you scratch them, stings become easy to ignore.

We met a guy who was hitchhiking, so had to stick out his arm. Afterwards he counted 168 bites on a single arm.
Do you think the current President of the US is a hard worker? Yet he is at the top of the tree. Going back a bit further Reagan was known for his laid back approach, he even quipped about it himself: "It's true hard work never killed anybody, but I figure, why take the chance?"
Fake it until you make it ;-)

That reminds me of all the "AI power" we already use which is backed by low-wage contract workers who listen in.
The decision was made before the release of Blake3. The article did mention the algorithm is no longer hardcoded (hence the ability to support both SHA1 & SHA256). This means it's possible to transition to Blake3 (or any other) in future, though it won't be trivial.
Physics and game logic should always run at fixed intervals and not depend on the time available. Otherwise you may run into oscillations that can be observed e.g. in games with ragdoll physics where bodies suddenly start to twitch due to such glitches. Thus, physics and logic should run at a fixed rate (e.g. 120 Hz) while graphics can run at whatever speed the machine can manage.
Wow saw Bellroy whose wallet I use has a Haskell job!! And it’s in Australia. That’s an interesting combo. Give how rare Haskell jobs are and how rare Aussie jobs are on boards like this.

You're assuming that "observing the Earth's atmosphere" is a yes/no question when it's actually a spectrum. I'm not familiar with the matter, but I can imagine a scenario like "We need to record a very particular part of the EM spectrum and all those existing satellites happen not to have suitable equipment for that."
This is tough, since this could kill careers, end families and destroy friendships, if the wrong photos where to end up in some public dump. It just requires one bad actor to know of this and abuse the service, trying to exfiltrate as many photos as possible and then run some ML face detection on the data set.

This mail is really shameful and lacks lots of information. If they have the log data, they should disclosure how many people got access to how many photos in which timeframe.

By the way, this may be rather obvious, but concatenating hash algorithms is a terrible idea for passwords. A password cracker could easily pick the less secure algorithm to crack, and ignore the other hash.

Note that git doesn't concern itself with reversing a hash function. The commit contents are part of a repository, there is no value in guessing the commit contents basing on its hash. Here, the hash function choice is purely about collision resistance.

But yeah, don't do weird things with hashes. Cryptography is hard. Don't invent memecrypto: https://twitter.com/sciresm/status/912082817412063233, it's not going to increase the security. Use a single algorithm if you can. Don't transform the output of a hash function in any way.
I agree, a nice touch would be if the cleaner agreed to accept a Coca Cola at the end because no one can resist that.

The function `requestAnimationFrame(update)` on line 191 [1], typically updates at 60 frames per second [2]. When it fires, it re-calls the `update()` function starting on line 184 [3].

Reasonable concessions can be made, of course; but that's not what I'm arguing against. I'm saying that all possible concessions can't be made.
fond memories indeed....
The strategy is meant to introduce more sunk costs in the hiring process. They spent forever buttering up the candidate, and now they hear a number that is more than they were hoping for.

The less they need you, the less this is likely to matter. But if they really need you then of course your price is high!
It's not just people who own houses that have to move between them. Most millennials haven't even bought a house yet. But they still need to move between apartments, and that happens on more frequent time scales than someone buying/selling their home. If I had to guess, the average lease in a city for 20-30 year old tenants is between 1 and 3 years. It's not uncommon to move three times in a five year period.
You can also pack your stuff into boxes and ship it via FedEx to a package pickup point near your new house.

Dokku is great for deploying web services using Docker on a single server, especially if you are familiar with Heroku buildpacks/services and prefer to do everything in the terminal.

Another option is CapRover, which is also free and open source. CapRover is a simple interface for Docker Swarm, Nginx, and Let's Encrypt that is designed for deploying web services. It optionally supports scaling web apps across multiple servers, and also includes a web interface which can be used in place of its CLI, if you prefer to manage the system in the browser.

Cool! I've build a couple of vanilla js projects, a widget and a framework.

How easy is it to immigrate to Finland and enjoy these advantages of Finnish society? If it’s easy, then I wonder why more people don’t do it. If it’s difficult, then it feels a little disingenuous to praise a society for privileging the people who just so happen to be born there.

Obviously I’m not discounting the notion than certain societies can treat people better than other societies. I’m only trying to point out that given good treatment to members of a society is a pretty useless measure to judge a society unless you also analyze how people an become members of that society.
Oh dear god. Because it's git related, my brain somehow still tries to make sense of that stuff because it just seems so real.

Funny, I lived in Austria before and I had loads of shady encounters with small and large service providers agreeing something on the phone and then not honoring that because "I don't know who you spoke to yesterday but if it's not in writing we can't honor it".

Car services are notorious for this behavior where they quote you a price on the phone and after they have your car "hostage", invoice you a much higher price. Also phone companies/ISPs where sales reps would promise you some discounts on the phone or in person if you sign up today and when your first invoice arrives you have to pay everything in full with no discounts.

Seems to be the norm the norm in that country and not sure how you'd be able to argue against that in court with just words and no written proof of the contrary. God I hate Google for disabling the call recording API since Android 9.

Since then, I always ask them to send me "what we just agreed on the phone" in writing via e-mail. If they refuse, I know there's a high chance they won't honor it later.

Please let me know if I'm wrong.
That's a nice, clean, simple approach - I learned about `createContextualFragment()`, so thanks!

But you're right, that's what should be done (or at least, rethrowing the exception from the catch block).
Totally. This was my first thought when I skimmed the article. Now I wonder who is paying for it, the Finnish gov't or the company mentioned in the article?

I speculate that it may be part of a PR campaign from the government to draw skilled people from the US. It seems to coincide with recent comments about the American Dream by the Finnish PM.
