If you don't like design, and you want to work as a professional in the software industry, then you really need to go deeper. Even if you happen to have a job right now doing "light" coding tasks with bits of JS, you'll be the first to go with the software industry goes off the rails.

I've seen this happen already after the dotcom crash. In fact, it happened to me. I was doing more or less what you are doing now, and once times got tough, I found it very hard to find decent work. I left the profession for a while (although I continued to do a bit of coding as part of my job), but when I came back I buckled down and learned to be an actual software developer, learning everything from low-level programming, to data structures and algorithms, to architecture. It was gradual, but I knew were I was going.

I happen to work in frontend dev now, but building actual web applications (and feel just as comfortable building applications on the desktop, or Android, both of which I've also done professionally). Now when the shit hits the fan, I'm fairly sure to keep my job, or find another one if needed.

Also, as you allude to the kind of skill you're talking about will be increasingly vulnerable to automation. But not just the "low-code" things. Also the HTML, CSS, and light JS things. And things that are "low-code" now will be virtually "nocode" in the future, capable of being done by any random office worker.

If you want to be a coder, then master coding. Or else go into design and master design. Either way, set your sites on mastering something, don't just play around the edges. It's a process, and a hard one at times, but I'm convinced that anyone can do it. If you're already enjoying working with HTML, CSS, and bits of JS, then you'll likely do just fine teaching yourself to be a full-fledged professional developer.

Nothing has changed. It is still programming. You take some input, you manipulate it and then you do something with the output.

How you do that comes down to mostly a matter of preference with a smattering of "engineering".

Usually, some people will post some or almost all of the solutions online if the textbook is really famous, for instance, baby rudin.

Although rarely, some authors do provide solutions, like Knuth's books, Stephen Abbott's Understanding Anaylsis, etc.

>I pay money to you to develop a TV program, you sell that TV program to Netflix and make money, and then you tax me purchasing the product. So instead of being content with fleecing me once, you want to fleece me three times...er, no. And the idea of funding yourself by taxing your competition is utterly repellent.

No, that's not what I suggested, as I was advocating replacing the TV license, not running it in parallel as you portray, so no, just no.

>I am not unfamiliar with the BBC, most of my knowledge about Kangaroo came from someone I knew who was on the Trust, but it is just a totally broken institution. I have never managed to work out if the hiring policy just finds bad people or something happens to people they hire after they start working there but it is just horribly broken.

You seem to confuse your experience with `management` and project that upon all staff and without qualifying what you class as `bad` and yet happily postulate that as record, most odd.

Fraud detection is comprised of a lot of interesting data science and pattern recognition (example being utilization of graph databases like Neo4j and its advantages over traditional RDBMSs of index free adjacency) not to mention the leveraging of ML. If the business paying me to implement this sort of thing is 'stupid' and 'boring' (whatever your definition of that is in the context of a business), why would that make the act of working and implementing fraud prevention any less of an interesting endeavor?

I’ve been through crappy perf review processes too... I agree with you, it can be dehumanizing, that’s a good word for it.

For new hires, I like to have an assigned mentor for the first year, it really helps ramp them up quicker, and have good material for performance reviews if necessary.

There’s nothing at all wrong with reviewing code and talking about it with the candidate/employee, that’s highly encouraged, and I do it constantly. I just can’t spend a lot of time looking at candidate’s portfolios without them being in the room, I don’t get enough information from it, and the information I do get might be misleading.

I assume that important design criteria is to enable slim and fast verification and single-pass WASM to SSA or JIT backends and native compilers. To do that you want reducible flow graph.

This will become more important especially if WebAssembly is moving beyond the browser.
That is the keyboard shortcut to switch the character set from text mode to graphics mode and back. What actually ends up happening is you switch the character set from the low set of PETSCII (ASCII's variant for pet computers) to the high set of PETSCII, which contains many graphic characters.

GraalVM doesn't solve the same problems as WebAssembly- it has no stable, portable format for those polyglot program definitions.

GraalVM is certainly something you could use as part of a WebAssembly implementation, though.
Trust seems like the fundamental problem. I used to trust the people writing Amazon reviews but now I don’t. If I could filter reviews to those written by people I trust, then those reviews would still be valuable.

It’s not a comprehensive solution since I probably don’t trust enough people to cover the range of products I’m interested in, but it could be better than the current mess.

The limited scale might even be beneficial because I wouldn’t have to wade through hundreds of nearly identical products.

Then connect to the device with the username root and whatever password you use to manage the device."

I’ve bought a few things that offered an Amazon gift card after a 5-star review. In some cases, the product was genuinely good and while I’d not have bothered to write a review, the gift card is enough to get me to write the review.

My read of GP's story is that the prepared queries varied by supplying different hard-coded parameters, in addition to some bound variables. For example, the WHERE clause might be "WHERE first=? AND last='Smith'". The 'first' argument is a bound variable, while the 'last' argument is part of the prepared query string.
Unless the people answering DNS queries for you have explicitly contracted (with you, or with all users) not to do this you should assume they contribute to one or more passive DNS services because it's free revenue for them.

I'd be very surprised if any of the suppliers use spyware, seems like it'd be far less effective and also more expensive to do.

> Is it? I have been exposed a bit to Netflix and the content is a lot of filler with the occasional interesting movie.

The comment you quote says "the way people want to consume", but your comment is about the content itself.

I think most people want the on-demand style, but of course everyone also wants there to be good content. Content being equal, do you think on-demand content is not the way most people would want to consume it?

Sad sad story. She had no medical supervision and her baby was stillborn.

Sorry but I have no comments other than it's 100% her fault. Having a baby without the benefit of modern medicine is a choice made out of complete ignorance and she has only herself to blame. I don't care how many Facebook friends or posts directed her to forgo medical care, no one does that without a purposeful decision to be ignorant.
I don't think it would be possible for a passive unit like this to do such a thing.

With ultrasonic or warm mist (steam) humidifiers you can over-humidify the air.
Wow. I think that might be it!
Here’s an idea I had for a humidifier. It simply tumbles thousands of tiny beads through tumbler with water at the bottom. Since the sheer number of small beads creates a huge surface area you’d get a bunch of evaporation.

Cool right? Feel free to use this idea as prior art.

anybody with experience regarding protective coatings ?

I think it would depend a lot on how much air is moving over it, and the temperature of that air. The surface area of it is pretty large (the whole thing is pretty ginormous also...). The reservoir size is an issue.

I share skepticism about this being used in any serious way. An ultrasonic humidifier is going to be smaller, probably cheaper, and run laps around it in terms of output.

I always though of containers as production-level artifacts. In development, I prefer to run most of my environment directly (if possible). Some components can be run as containers if necessary.

Containers provide consistency and isolation. I dont think container, as an abstraction, is needed at the development stage.

Once development is done, then you pass around a resultant container.

For example, I run my Rails projects directly on my Mac (Rails + Native MySQL), my coworker on Linux runs it there natively as well. That means we have to deal with runtime platform issues, true. However when we're ready to "release", we build a container that is then tested, and released to prod.

Never even gets that far.

What's sad, is that people like me used to be represented by a certain kind of recruiter, more akin to a literary agent. They'd beat the bush, and get a portion of the take from that.

Apparently, this type of job no longer exists. I suspect that the big aggregator sites, like monster.com and Hired are responsible for that.

It's been a rather sobering experience. At one time, I had to fight off people trying to hire me away from my employer, to whom I gave a great deal of loyalty. When they finally rolled up my team, I completely understood it, and supported their decision; even though it cost my team and I our jobs. They treated us well, and with great respect. I had issues with the way they did things, in many cases, but in the aggregate, it was a great experience that I don't regret in the slightest.

I've been shocked at how standard recruiters haven't shown much enthusiasm. They are the ones that get in touch with me, gushing about my résumé, then quickly backtrack, for...reasons. I know why.

I've had to concede defeat, eat a huge platter of crow and egg-on-face, followed by a dessert of humble pie. I hadn't planned on early retirement, but there you have it.

Edited to add: One other thing. I tried sites like Hired and Upwork, and the contacts I got were 100% (not 95% -100%. Not one single legit contact). scams -some, rather scary. I have heard numerous people praise these sites, but they were all people looking to hire folks; not be hired.

To be fair, many of the scams weren't predatory. They assumed that I would be fronting as an American programmer, and shopping my work out to Indian programmers (who were the ones contacting me). I suspect that some of the contractors out there may not exactly be what they say.

From my experience, docker dev environments are great if your host OS is Linux (i.e. if you don't need to run a Linux VM inside of another OS). Otherwise, performance can be very bad.
You can try it out without even signing in. It will use localStorage.

Finally a real, cheap solution for climate change!!!
There is a similar concept where you have a stack of plastic discs half submerged in a water reservoir. The axis of the disc stack sits parallel with the surface of the water. The discs are rotated so their surface is always wet. Air is blown over them. This passively humidifies the air, and won't over-humidify since as the RH rises the amount of water that will passively evaporate goes down. These units are sometimes also called "air washers" since small particles can get stuck to the surface of the wet discs and come off in the reservoir. I've owned two, and can confirm they do pull stuff out of the air.

A credit pull for screening is considered different than one for credit. At most it’s like 3-5 points and the effects disappear fast.

But a tenant screening also looks for evictions (a civil case), criminal cases and whether you are on the sex offender list.

Ask HN: I feel like I should be working all the time and its killing me
Hi HN,

I'm a software dev with almost 10 years experience, and not a single day in the last 10 years has gone by without me feeling the pressure to work, learn something new, or build something. I feel like I should be programming all the time, and if I'm not, I'm wasting my time / missing out / not progressing.

It's driving me insane. It is sucking the joy out of life.

I need to learn how to truly disconnect from work, so that I can recharge. I need to learn how to drop this feeling, this heavy weight on my shoulders, that I'm not a good developer, and that I need to work more to get better.

The problem is that the reality of our field is such that:

a) There is a lot of opportunity
b) There are a lot of really smart people, doing very cool things, capturing that opportunity.
c) If you aren't learning, or getting better at the craft, then you're falling behind, becoming irrelevant, and certainly you aren't going to make anything of significance.

How do you return to the joy of the craft? How do you forget about the outcome, and learn to love programming again?
The problem we have with that at my workplace is that it's hard to do things like run IDEs/set breakpoints, run gdb or strace, get a REPL (with useful REPL tooling), etc. inside a production-style container. I understand the arguments that you don't want to do this in actual production, you want to kill the offending container and figure out the problem from logs - but once you've got an idea of where the problem lies, for local dev you do actually want to debug problems this way. Even editing a random config file or editing source code to add a printf is more difficult inside a production-style container than in a local checkout. Have you found good approaches for this?

I didn't really buy wholly into containers for a while either, but the tools have gotten better, the process makes it easier to tick the security boxes, and the confidence brought about by immutable deployments and having good visibility into the service state has been really valuable in a growing environment. No more "oh yeah, we poked at ulimit on that server late Friday night, that's why the other ones don't work as well" and so on. No fiddling around with multiple python or java environments. Keep after the details and you can end up not even having anything to ssh into at all--really get out of the game of "server touching" if you will.
