Hi,

I noticed your advertisement for the position of Java Developer and think I would make an excellent candidate for it. There is nothing I cannot or will not do to ensure that your business is a success.

For the last two years I have been working in a similar role to the one you are advertising, and have been responsible for designing, building, testing and supporting Java applications. Being a key member of my existing team means that I have been put in charge of providing coding and analysis relative to assignments, and performing unit testing on applicable code. I have extensive experience of Java 8(Core), MicroServices, SpringBoot, Play Framework, Akka, Spring MVC, Java web development, Couchbase No=SQL, Oracle SQL, XML and IntelliJ/Eclipse. I consider myself an expert at resolving application defects, and at testing, debugging, and refining software to produce the required product.Issues are more easily solved through brainstorming with the group and I engage in such sessions frequently with my coworkers and bosses. As a result I am able to consistently turn out bug-free code that works well upon implementation.

On a personal level I have the ability to stay organized and on top of my work at all times. In addition to this I am constantly seeking to improve my skills and am fully aware of the latest developments in the world of Java.

Right now I would like to work for a company like yours that has an environment geared towards performance, provides attractive career opportunities, and has an open corporate culture that values and rewards the contributions of its staff.

I enclose a copy of my CV and hope that you will look favourably upon my application. Thank you for your time, consideration and forthcoming response.

Yours sincerely,

The guidance on this is clear. Pre-GDPR companies were really good at creating complex processes to deter subject-access requests. So under GDPR any request for your data from a company is a GDPR request subject to all the regulations.

Yeah, Facebook should be getting fined.
> where an engineer with no experience just out of a middling CS education

uh, what exactly is a "middling" CS education?
Tutanota is a giant spam source. I’m not surprised they are being blocked. This isn’t about net neutrality at all.
The stoics for example have a practice where they deliberately deprive themselves of basic things like food and warmth in order to appreciate those things more when they do have them.
Instead of specifying how big your images are in html (or css), you are proposing the browser should magically guess how big your images are going to end up? Or should it not render anything until all your needless images are downloaded?

Is there an actual problem in identifying what images correspond to your markup and adding an appropriate attribute? (asking, not a web dev)

AFAICT the problem is solved, this is the necessary protocol - not even a bad one, use it and it will work.
I've used it but the interface is clunky. Navigation to the podcast is strange. You can't add rss. There have been no updates since the first release as far as I can tell. It looks like it has potential but it seems like yet another Google product that had a half assed release, no commitment and will be shelved in a year or two.

Pocketcasts is far better and the webui is cheap as can be so additional options for keeping up to date on podcasts.
The point I'm trying to make is the Antarctic isn't melting, and it's in fact, growing in ice extent.

However, you can make a headline out of tiny regional fluctuations and puff it up to be more than it is. I'm not impressed that a record from Antarctica was broken (1 degree warmer than 1982? Yawn). How long have we had stations in this particular location? 40 years? 50 years?

Meanwhile you've got sensationalist headlines like in the Daily Sun: "Antarctica is hotter than SPAIN this week as mercury hits 69F for first time"

Which is blatantly false. It's a single data point on a massive continent that is obviously not 69F across the whole island, nor is it a sustained 69F. I have a big problem with people blowing out of proportion every individual data point in the massively complex climate system of the planet earth. How many points on the earth experienced record cold on the same day? Quite a few!
Goodhart's Law applies, so you can't have a set-and-forget certification process. It can be a dynamic process. And just perhaps, we should disincentivize trying to launch new technologies when the institutional knowledge is not there yet. I wonder how many of those security compromises come from bad tradeoffs trying to "keep up with the Joneses" instead of addressing technical debt and knowledge gaps?
Not sure why the down vote but ill give some more details the post was perhaps lacking. A few days of keto to get adjusted for fat burning. Doing that while fasting seems to harsh. Similarly, shutting down the digestive system entirely for longer than 48 hours seems nonsensical and dangerous while one meal per day seems slacking off. A small amount of food less than 10 gr protein (hard to digest) 40 ish grams of carbs and 30 ish grams of fat should be enough to remedy the sense of starvation while not breaking the fast. The variable duration is because I want to enjoy what I'm doing and I listen to my body. You also don't have the sense of failure if you plan things like this. Cheating while dieting seems the nr 1 reason to give up. For example, people always get fat again after they give up on a diet. That keto might be bad if done for longer than a week makes this comfortable approach all the more appealing.
Thanks! Will fix today, as you can tell we are super early stage. Trying to collect feedback and keep improving.

I do this exact kind of blocking. On Reddit I blocked the entire bar at the top of other subreddit suggestions.

YouTube, I got rid of suggestions on the side, at the end of the video, and at pause.

Call me crazy but I even got rid of typing suggestions in the Firefox address bar.

On Android, I like the Niagra launcher because I can customize my entire home screen and hide everything else so that I only see it when I'm looking for it. No recommendations!

I feel like the National Park Service in particular has nailed this. Their branding is unique, instantly recognizable, and long-lived. Here’s their brand guidelines page: https://www.nps.gov/subjects/hfc/nps-graphic-identity-and-st...

They even recently went through a minor redesign, where they kept the “feel” but updated a bit: https://www.adweek.com/brand-marketing/new-logo-reintroduces...
I feel like you may not have read my comment very generously. I am very familiar with the point of a test. Let me try again to explain.

There is a cost to a brittle test. UI testing suffers from this more than other kinds because there are many 'plausible' UI arrangements, and as the product shifts and changes, you need to distinguish

1. "The dialog moved slightly to the left"/"We refactored the HTML, but it still looks the same" from

2. "The dialog is now underneath another element".

Suppose it takes 10 minutes to find, fix, get reviewed, and push the fix, deploy the fix, and validate the fix. If the number of failures that are more like the former are RADICALLY more than the latter type of failure, then it is easy enough to come to the conclusion that the test is not giving you a reasonable ROI. Perhaps the cost of releasing a latter-type-of-failure is not that bad, if you can fix it and get it to production quickly. It might be cheaper overall then the ongoing maintenance cost on a test that would prevent this failure.

Also, and this is culture and product dependent, but we're talking about this like it's a single test, when it's usually a suite of tests (or multiple suites). If they have a 5% failure rate, and 95% of the time its really an 'update the test, this is the new expected', people will stop trusting the tests, and will take shortcuts. So you may find that instead of spending 100% of the maintenance costs for the suite of brittle tests, you're spending 70%, but only getting 20% of the benefit because people become accustomed to the failures , and once a test is failing, no one will notice that the failure changed from a 'benign failure' to a "customer-can't use" failure. (Note: numbers are imaginary, but not crazy).

At one company I worked for, it was so bad, that when we tried to introduce testing/checkin rigor, multiple developers pulled me over to make me explain "Why this dumb test is failing on my checkin attempt", and we would look at the logs and other artifacts to uncover that "It's failing because you changed something without updating the relevant tests". It took quite a bit of time to re-train developers used to brittle tests, to respect and maintain non-brittle ones.

And that is why I am against automated UI testing in general. :)
Interesting, I totally missed that they use GEO now!

Still pretty cool that one can receive digital radio without a directional antena from a satellite all the way up 36000 km in GEO. Though looking at the article about Tundra Orbit you have linked it was 25000 x 39000 km already, so not that much of a difference.
If I was hosting 26 reasonably-available servers in my home office, that's quite high.

If I had to host 26 highly-available servers available to a geographically distributed group in a commercial or academic space with paid maintenance staff and some semblance of support.. that's actually pretty darn cheap.
It's newsworthy! Or at least, the original stories (from a few days ago) were. The specifics are worth reading about.
I had this exact thought. I often use the middle click button to open a bunch of tabs from the reddit front page and get back to them later.
This is really good. Please keep it up.

Seems like two different filters are needed: one for size and one for stage. Excluding established/bootstrapped companies is silly unless the purpose of the site is to only list jobs at startups.
Office Online has all the same features and is far less likely to disappear one day. Personally, I don't use MS Office, but for business, or any other morphing collection of people, MS Office feels like the safe choice.
Google has kind of a reputation for killing projects.
An interesting result to be sure, but usually constant factors don't matter that much experimentally and pi is approximately equal to one for any large n. Am I wrong about this? What's the size of n in a typical measurement, are we talking on the order of 10s or thousands or millions?
Most of the software written in Forth runs on embedded systems, not user-facing ones.

OpenFirmware is based on forth, and was used instead of BIOS for Sun workstations, some Powermacs, and the OLPC, among other devices. On the OLPC it offers a nice debugging interface and educational opportunity.[0]

The Wikireader "wikipedia appliance" used forth for their testing harness during manufacturing, and it's possible to write your own applications for the device using it.[1]

Forth has been used for control software for a variety of aerospace applications.[2]

I have personally used Forth as an interactive testing environment for bringing up new hardware. In one case, I prototyped software for the power management chip in an embedded linux device.

I've also written games and programming environments in Forth, both for fun and for use in educational after-school programs I helped organize. For example, a logo environment[3,4] and a rewrite of Yar's Revenge[5,6].

Is any of this software "real"?

HN has a no-procrastination mode that might be useful. On the settings page, turn on `noprocrast` and then configure `maxvisit` and `mindelay` - HN will force you to wait `mindelay` minutes whenever you have been on there longer than `maxvisit` minutes.

Maybe you knew about this already, but posting this anyway as it might be useful to someone else.

Huh wow, I've never actually been taught what argv stands for and have gone my whole life (post learning C) assuming it means Argument Values.

> After years of trying various methods, I broke this habit by pitting my impatience against my laziness. I decoupled the action and the neurological reward by setting up a simple 30-second delay I had to wait through, in which I couldn't do anything else, before any new page or chat client would load (and only allowed one to run at once). The urge to check all those sites magically vanished--and my 'productive' computer use was unaffected.

So it says the 'threats per endpoint' on mac has gone way up. It says 50,000,000 Windows endpoints are compromised.

It fails to mention the number of mac endpoints compromised.

I suspect is is actually not a huge number because of its omission...

Therefore, from the missing numbers of infected mac endpoints, I'll have to surmise that all they've learned is a compromised mac tends to become more and more compromised...
Aren't they connected by the idea of active objects?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_object
I don't have the time or desire to answer that question. That would require a level of scrutiny into specific PRs and details that I don't think is productive to go into. I think my clarification stands on its own. Gratuitous use of `unsafe` is bad on its own, and unsound `unsafe` use is also bad on its own. They are two different categories of problems. Both were present in actix. These weren't the only issues, but others have addressed those. My only point was to clarify that the issue wasn't just frequency. Soundness was also an issue.

Whether this only impacts actix developers or whether it impacts users of actix is, I grant, an important question in order to asses just how much you should freak out about any particular soundness problem. (As dtolnay points out, sometimes you don't need to freak out at all. So my statement includes "zero amount." But I am intentionally conveying a bias here: some level of freak out is probably appropriate in a high profile ecosystem level project for Rust specifically. IMO.)

And it could be an escalating latency, so it gives you a bit of fast experience, but the more you use it, the slower it gets. I've used Leechblock, but I also find myself trying to game Leechblock sometimes.

Thank you for your info on Youtube. I'm really trying to quit this permanently.
I think there lies the misunderstanding:

"Sure our code was small and simple, and theirs large and complex"

Having a complex piece of code, maybe with a lot of 'historical cruft' and legacy 3rd party modules? Business politics? Maybe a new manager wants his programming team to work on 'Shiny X' because that will make him/her look better with upper management?

Trust me, 95% of programmers (and most people for that matter) would rather feel like they are doing a valuable service and adding value to a product or service, than simply and lazily going through the motions of 'coding'.

Until you've walked a mile in some 'Enterprise application developer', or any one else I think it will be difficult for you to evaluate the global picture.

Although I understand you frustration and completely agree with the symptoms you mention, the cause is far more complex and difficult to grasp unfortunately.
Titles are both a bikeshed and something that can have significant impact on salary, unfortunately. As long as non-technical recruiters are hiring based on buzzwords, it matters.
Lots of things that look like hierarchies are more like stuff distributed ~ power law. Certainly wealth, but I think actual needs are pretty distributed ~ power law.

Breathing looks hierarchically more important than self-actualization but it's just that a material portion of your entire ensemble of needs is just breathing - completely not optional.

Given that, you can futz w/ stuff and see if the levy-stable structure of this sort of thing will allow you to fold over different stuff

Have you considered intermittent fasting instead of keto? Compliance is easier IMHO, and when paired with weight lifting, results are rapidly observed. Also would recommend swimming for cardio.
TLDs being signed doesn't mean anything, except that for the 9% of TLDs that aren't signed it's literally impossible to sign zones under them. TLD signatures are de facto required.

What's actually damning is that DNS customers, including the ones with the savviest security teams, aren't opting in, and haven't for many, many years. They all have a choice whether to sign or not, and they choose not to. Unlike TLD signatures, that actually is a strong signal.

Signatures of European zones aren't interesting because they're done automatically by registrars. That's theater, not security.
It's frustrating, because with linear actuators you can provide many different textures and feelings to the user. It's a shame mobile devices aren't taking that approach and running with it.

> * An unmarked cardboard box. Why wasn't I required to return this box for reuse? It should be a Pelican-style container that is used to deliver a shipment, and immediately returned for reuse.

Is the extra fuel required to transport these reusable boxes and to recollect them equal to the amount expended just creating a new cardboard box? Cardboard isn't particularly resource intensive (it can be made from fast growth planted trees). Can your reusable box collapse? If it can't collapse it would take double the amount of truck stops to deliver a single good because it would take exactly as much space to return as it did to deliver.

> * An thinner marked cardboard box advertising the device's features and specs. Why was this necessary? I already know what I ordered: I don't need to be further convinced that this is in fact the right thing.

Amazon does have their 'frustration free packaging' which does essentially what you want. They work with the manufacturer to box things differently for sale through Amazon where there's no need to box and entice customers.

> * A set of plastic bumpers inside the marked box. I get it: these hold the relatively gentle device in place while it's shipped. The bumpers are clearly intended for only a single use: they're shaped to fit only the particular device I bought. Why haven't we developed reusable dampeners that can fit a variety of products and used repeatedly?

Only really works with similarly shaped objects that go into the same sized box. And again there's the energy expended in collecting them to factor in.

> * A plastic bag inside the box, with the device inside it. Why?!

Protection against damage and moisture during transit. Keeps everything clean and fresh. Though I do think the number of different little baggies in many products is excessive.
It’s a closed-stack library and their catalog is online. Figure out the items you want to start with before you arrive so that you can put in the order; it takes a little while for the staff to fetch it from the stacks and deliver it to the reading room.

Also, pick your reading room carefully: the general collection can be delivered anywhere, but there are are some items that you can only get in a specific one.
