> Is it true you still need an "open source coding resume" by mid-career stage?

Who knows? Every company wants something different and most of them seem reluctant to provide that information up front, inexplicably. Maybe lead with “we expect to go over some of your code with you” or “we’ll be doing 2 hours of whiteboarding, but nothing above leetcode easy” or whatever. Every interview (outside certain major companies which are quite up-front about what they want) is a mystery until they spring it on you. Wish they’d fucking settle on one thing. Let’s all do open-source (would mean everyone would have to stop forbidding it, of course) or even all do leetcode. The guessing game interviews and scattershot prep requirements are draining and a waste of everyone’s time.
A lot of people in this thread seem to have experience playing Diplomacy in person, which surprises me.

If you play in person it takes a very long time, but if you're inexperienced it's not unlikely someone will get knocked out after just a few turns. So you'd need to be prepared to set aside a day but also prepared to have nothing to do for most of it.

While I'm sure the in-person experience offers something special, this seems like a game that's much more accessible play-by-post. The internet makes this easier than ever, but even in my limited understanding the history of play-by-mail Diplomacy is basically as old as the game itself.

I feel you. Pre-pandemic I would get hit up pretty often by recruiters. Now the companies which have responded to my job application have dropped to a trickle (for an initial recruiter call). Most are auto-rejections.

For reference, I have also been internally referred in multiple companies including 3 FAANG style companies. Absolutely crickets on that front.

What woke me up was when I got rejected after the recruiter call with SurveyMonkey. That was whenI realized my pre-pandemic /recession attitude wouldn't hold any more and I had to show interest / motivation / better prepared at every stage and not just when the tech rounds rolled around.
Since then I have been able to make progress with the few callbacks that I am getting now.

Hope that helps.
What do you consider "our industry" to be ?

Software development?
Web development?
What used to be called "Application Development" back in the 1980s and early 1990s?

I'm asking because there's a lot of software developers/engineers whose jobs don't feature any of the keywords in your comment ("Frontend", "Backend", "SQL queries", "modal" etc. etc.)
>>what kind of controller for PC is the recommended?

Depends on budget and goals:

* If you want to fly something realistic like a Cessna etc, get a yoke. Saitek offers a good combo Yoke/Throttle Quadrant/Rudders, which are a great way to start a fun yet relatively realistic experience. You can then upgrade it with instrument panels etc, but that is if you get quite serious about things. The basic combo is MORE than enough for a long time.

https://www.saitek.com/uk/prod-bak/yoke.html
https://www.saitek.com/uk/prod-bak/pedals.html

Alternatively, CH has an "All in one" yoke with hand-controlled rudder and attached throttle. Slightly less realistic (as the rudder is not via feet), more space-saving & compact :)

http://www.chproducts.com/Flight-Sim-Yoke-v13-d-705.html

* If you are not looking for realism of that kind, or want something good value, and/or might fly fighter flight games as well, the Thrustmaster 1600 combo (joystick + throttle) are a reasonable "solid entry" pack.

http://www.thrustmaster.com/products/t16000m-fcs-hotas

* Finally, if you are really on a budget, OR play in living/family room on a couch but don't want to fly with gamepad, Thrustmaster HOTAS/Ace allows you to physically connect throttle and joystick, so you can hold it on your lap or similar and play from anywhere :)

These come in PC+PS4 or PC+XBOX versions:

* Note also, TrackIR adds a huge amount of reality and fun, if you don't go the full VR route. It LOOKS like it'd be gimmicky, but once you put it on, it's quite natural and huge amount of fun. I was honestly giggling first time I've put it on and looked to the side and below my plane just by moving my head around :)

> There’s so much money in this industry that we can hire entire teams to basically take a Bootstrap component, and theme it.

This feels a tad reductionist based on my experience. Sure, most apps are designed around an agreed-upon set of affordances and design principles that the community determines, but modeling application behavior for real-world scenarios involves way more than theming a bootstrap component. I think it’s a mistake to reduce a developer down to the code that they write, because the ultimate value of a developer is in the code that they choose not to write just as much as the code they do write.

Uberizing an industry.
It sounds like something about how you come off in interviews throws off red flags to the person interviewing you. Maybe you're too arrogant, not arrogant enough, not driven enough, etc. Most top tier companies will give you a list of personality qualities they are looking for that they expect you to show in the initial interview. I'd recommend doing a mock interview with someone you trust who has hired people to see what they can discern.

Respectfully, there are a great many things wrong with the opinions in this post. I'll try to address them all with as few words as possible.

Chip self reliance is a good thing from a general geo-political standpoint, regardless of China.

China's aggression manifests in many covert operations, mainly information warfare.

The ruling CCP is diametrically opposed to most Western political and social values and itself feels very threatened by democracy and personal liberty. As such it is working very hard to destabilize the West and expand it's hard and soft power to export its authoritarian model around the world.

The end of the American "empire" is hardly guaranteed to happen any time soon, and while some weak willed and naive pseudo-intellectuals may be willing or even eager to roll over and let it die, many others with clear eyes recognize the benefits of your culture and country having power.

With power comes wealth. With power comes pride. With power comes influence. And with enough power comes global stability, which is what the US currently provides. Why would anyone in their right mind willingly give up such power? No, we will do everything we can to maintain it because it absolutely has real value that benefits all Americans.

Fundamental values, lives, wealth and influence are all at stake here. Those who do not recognize or do not care are fools. Let us hope they never get a hold of power.

>"A rainbow has many properties associated with holograms.

Is the effect of rainbows in clouds essentially holographic?

[...]

o Like a hologram, a rainbow is composed of countless nearly identical sources of coherent light, reflected and refracted off water droplets.

o Like a hologram, a wavefront emerges from the cloud of rain droplets, but what you see are not the individual droplets but a whole image which depends on your relationship to the light source and the cloud. When you move, the rainbow moves.

o Like a hologram, a given point in the cloud (or a given point on the holographic film) doesn't correspond to a particular part of the rainbow (or the object being holographed). For instance, depending on your perspective, a given region in space may appear red or violet."
> That's what the C devs said about all the people learning Java.

That's not a great argument here. Web development is much more of a continuous spectrum. Programming platforms are designed to hide the the layers beneath to a large degree. I'm not saying there aren't leaky abstractions!

We use the term "full stack" for web developers, but people visualize this with layers, but for me it's a really wide list of items and not a very tall stack.

If I may offer a suggestion, what works for me is that at the start of a job search, I first make a very large resume, with several excess bullet points and detailed lists of technologies. I am the only one that sees this version of my resume. Then, for every job I apply for, I cut out all of the uninteresting bullet points and reduce irrelevant terms for that job description until my resume is about a page long. For instance, if I'm applying for a Node.js role, I minimize my past Java and .NET experience (I may mention each just once to show a little bit of breadth) so that my JavaScript experience shows through more. Likewise, if I apply to a Java role, I minimize my JavaScript experience.

After I apply to a few companies, I can easily reuse resumes with little to no modifications. The goal is to hit as many job requirements in the job description as I have experience for without overwhelming the recruiters and hiring manager with irrelevant information.

I only submit cover letters if they are required, or if I have a unique connection that I can bring up (e.g., having met the hiring manager at a recent meetup).
That's interesting. Here in Seattle, recycling is free but compost costs money.
OK that's true but I think my point still stands. Someone who is doing very heavy scientific computation with long-run times will still prefer a release build that is optimizing for run-time speedup over compile-time speedup, within reason of course.

I think one of the big reasons a lot of people are moving to SPA or SSR + hydration is latency of dynamic content (static content can be cached at the edge with little effort).

The problem with traditional PHP/Rails/Django apps is that those cannot easily run on multiple locations. Even if you somehow find an easy way to redirect the user to a server near them you still have to solve the problem of replicating the database. Big companies with cash and talent can solve all that but for small dev teams this is much harder to solve with a traditional web dev approach.

With an SPA your user will click and the UI will refresh instantly, even if it's just to show a spinner or some mock data, but that will be enough to distract the user for the time it will take for the API to respond.

With SSR you can run your html rendering code in serverless functions at the edge. Your latency will be sub 100ms, even sub 50ms when you hit the DB cache. I'm doing this with Cloudflare Workers and Workers KV as a cache and using Fauna DB which is also ditributed and running close to the edge. If it wasn't because the local dev experience of workers is still in alpha I'd say I've hit the jackpot of performance and DX.

Scaling is another matter but I don't think it's such a common problem for the vast majority of projects as latency which happens on every request.

Agreed. This is part of the reason why I refuse to work with third party recruiters any longer.

A few more are:
a) They cold call you in a way which makes it obvious they don't respect your schedule.
b) They just want to shoe horn you into a role, get the commission and keep moving.
c) Some third party recruiters get offended when I tell them that I am also trying to get interviews on my own without them or through other third party recruiters.
d) I have a sneaking suspicion that third party recruiters are paid if the candidate stays for 3 months. So if things were not to go perfect in the first few months then the company might be more inclined to fire you to save the commission.
This is so cool! I would love to see what kinds of people have used it for and built with this within VSCode.

Although I think it is indeed possible to block youtube ads through DNS filtering, it’s just really difficult & only works temporarily before needing to block new domains.

> That was a fixed non-resizable layout, showing static content.

It eventually morphed into the Windows Forms builder which handled dynamic layouts quite well, if a little different to most. Elements could be "anchored" to specific points of their container, so you button 10px off the bottom left would always be 10px off the bottom left, elements you wanted to grow to fill available space could be anchored on either side. All handled well by the visual designer.

Generally I prefer the gtk/qt method of just writing code, but the forms builder works really well too, both options are much better than the xml mess that is android and windows development these days.

I feel like I wasted a lot of time figuring out how to search Australian patents to come to the same conclusion you did, but I guess it at least taught me something new?

In my experience that expectation is not normal, except at startups -- and a lot of startups don't care either.

Most of the people I've interviewed and seen hired had not made any open-source contributions, and if they had side projects they didn't mention them.

I also won early, also by backstabbing people. It was completely known that I was not to be trusted.

But it almost made the game easier. Facing someone with blind rage would cripple their game. Either they would paralyze themselves defending non-existent threats from me, or they would go after me hard. But blatantly going for someone just opens the door for someone else -- and that's who I would make the deal with. It seemed I could always appeal to someone's greed.

> I could have set up a static site generator

Instead of generating HTML from markdown & sticking it in a template, your posts are HTML and you stick them in a template. Instead of hand-writing the HTML, you're using an HTML WYSIWYG editor (google docs).

Unless I'm missing something this is a static site generator. And if it suits your needs that's fantastic, sometimes I feel like markdown & git tracking is overkill as well (what I do). The primary thing holding me back from this is lack of code snippets.

Incidentally how does it handle images?

Disclaimer that I’m a PM and your experience surely may vary. But I would suggest reallocating some of your time to move deliberately instead of scattershot and tailor your resume and/or cover letters.

Edit: I meant to add that I am also happy to review your resume and provide feedback, too. Contact in profile.

We did a three week tour of the UK last August and cooked most meals... the cost of meat at chains like Tesco, Sainsburys, and Waitrose was comparable with US national chains, but the quality was far superior. As you point out, I didn't see any mega packs of cheap chicken breasts or pork ribs. I felt too like the quality of fruits and vegetables was on par with our high-end stores for prices similar to our "typical" stores.

This is about a report by the “Safra Center for Ethics”.

Given the focus of these institutions, I think that the global health institute is a more meaningful report (and people actually pay attention to it). Therefore, the headline is misleading. In fact, the original headline explicitly says “Harvard’s Safra Center” and not just “Harvard”.

I recently discovered Multipass, made by Canonical, which provides a simple and cross-platform command-line interface to manage Ubuntu VMs. Not sure if it would fit your use case, but wanted to mention it as an option.

It's been super useful for me, to be able to spin up new VMs for learning and testing stuff, as well as a couple larger persistent ones with mounted volumes for local web development. For what it does, it performs better than Docker, at least in my experience. It's even possible run an X Window client/server as a GUI to the VM.

I donno about other lambda frameworks.

But with ASP.NET Core it's effectively a Web API as a Lambda. It maps the event to a request and passes it through the asp.net framework as if it's a normal website.

The config for this is like 3 lines of code so if you don't want to host in a Lambda anymore, it's trivial to move to IIS, Windows Service, Linux.
