I've talked to a few different hiring managers and recruiters about for the sake of my own project[1] this so I'll share what I've learned here (this applies more to GitHub/portfolio than resume):

- Projects should have a clear README explaining what it is and why it exists. Some hiring managers will dive into the code properly but others simply won't have the time and are looking to get a good overview. Both groups want to see a clear README that explains what the project is about and ideally provides a link or some screenshots if relevant. Things like installation instructions should be there as a component of good documentation, but don't expect them to actually go to the effort to do install and run things, most won't.

- Curating your GitHub profile a little can make their lives easier. Simplest way to do this is by pinning your best repos. Consider removing (or making private) things that might be considered "clutter" like e.g. forks that you haven't done anything with.

- Having good, atomic commit messages, and clear, helpful comments on issues, prs, etc. is good, but many simply won't go into this much depth.

- Having detailed, well-written blog posts about technical issues can definitely be impressive. As with your code, a hiring manager may often just skim this, but all they need to come away with is the impression that "this person knows their stuff".

- As said in another comment, things like typos and grammar mistakes are a big no-no, especially on resumes.

You're also seeing a few cartoons from someone who has been largely out of the saddle for ages trying out a new mode of drawing--and likely comparing it to your remembered best ofs in the past.
Engineer pushback on this was MASSIVE in 2010-2012. There was still a Wild West ethos, so it cost a lot of goodwill to ship the feature. We did it anyways - it was the obvious right thing for the business. Getting there was one of the most heated feature debates I've encountered.
Only if they don't change it in the future in response to "market forces", or if they start charging consumers fees directly or some other workaround and then the city council has to retract this guidance because people are complaining about the higher prices.
So, basically, the usual answer from active investor proponents: There's a secret system! I can produce outsized returns, trust me, it's possible! I'm just don't have time to tell you what it is, but pinky swear there's totally a way!
This is straight up lie.
I feel like this problem was easier to solve in other industries. For instance for doctors or lawyers there was a long line of women who wanted to be doctors and lawyers but couldn't because of institutional barriers.

All we had to do was remove the barriers.

Software is harder. I see three places we are losing women. First is women who never even consider the field, the second is women who drop out of car in college, and the third is women who switch fields from cs.

We're losing the most women in the first step in the pipeline and I've tried to convince so many of my girl friends to join software because I work half as much and make twice as much as them. But despite this they all had absolutely no interest in joining. They mostly had two fears. One was they wouldn't be good at it, but overwhelmingly the fear was they wouldn't like it.

The second was women who switch in college. I only know 2 women who started off cs and switched. One switched because she didn't like it. The other switched because she felt intimidated because she was put in a class with people like myself who had years of coding experience in a classroom, summer camps, and as a hobby before our first class in CS.

For the third leak in the pipeline all the women I know who left, left because they didn't enjoy the work. Some because they wanted to feel more connected to their work and people, moving from software to roles like therapist and teacher.

I think it's incredibly important we try to get women into tech. Women those women who would enjoy it lives would be better, consumers would enjoy better software, and our industry would be healthier.

But I think to do that it's important we use identify the right root causes.

I one of which is treating devs like rockstars aka children with specialized skills that need to be managed instead of professionals similar to engineers.

But I don't think sexism plays a big part. It exists,and it should be eliminated, every female dev I've talked to has experienced it. But none of them mentioned it as a reason they were thinking of leaving software.(at the professional level, I think it's more impactful at the college level where you have a bunch of kids who have no idea how to talk to women, and peer groups are more influential). But all my friends who are doctors and lawyers also experienced sexism, and in most cases far worse than the devs.
Why wouldn't it be? Winding a wire over a coil requires robotics. Making large, complicated 3D objects is finicky, slow, and expensive. Lithography is relatively simple --- it's a uniform batch process. Lithography nodes are complicated and expensive to research --- new nodes require brand new technology and even science --- but once you have a lithography line set up, you can run it over and over and over and over again, because the actual batch process is relatively simple and uniform.
This is really cool! Look forward to trying it on my next project.
It's worth noting that what the author describes as functional testing was, in fact, what unit testing was originally intended to be. "Unit" referred to a unit of functionality, not a unit of code. But that was an ambiguous concept, and it was simpler and easier to just write tests for each unit of code (typically a method), and so that's the approach that has prevailed.
The example I pointed out was for extra stuff, sure, but even just to get a compiler to spit things out, work needs to be done. I don't know Ada's compiler well enough to point to where that work is, but here's the initial implementation of the asmjs and wasm targets in rustc, for example https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/36339

This is just true of any architecture. LLVM is a toolkit, it isn't magic.

Re: proxy security concerns:

>Unlike GitHub, most of them don't even bother proxying the image to hide IP, referrer, and browser agent. If you want to allow external images on your site, you must proxy them and hide everything about a person who requested it.

Can you explain this in more detail? Given a profile host that doesn't proxy, how does that attack work?
I go to a small practice. They have a 3D xray machine, whatever a Microsoft small business server is called, and a practice management system.

A few errors in the spreadsheet:

- Odds for the $0.20, $0.80 prizes are slightly off.

- The $15 and below prizes are not split between participants, so one would not need to consider the number of other entries for winning those prizes.

If one just considers the $15 and below prizes, I think the odds work out to about 3.2% per year, making it about a 3.4% expected interest total.
In some ways this is what I find most bothersome about it. The restaurants all want us to order directly from them, but you pay the same prices as if you went through Grubhub or whatever. So if you call them directly, you're not really "helping" them -- you're just subsidizing all the Grubhub people.
DDG definitely does none of those things. And yeah, Bing has funding and has been in development for over 11 years (and has a basis that goes even further back than that). But people don't really use it and that is partially due to the horrible reputation it developed when it came out. Bing is literally a joke and in many ways that is due to their struggles catching up to Google.
I don't see how that is anti-competitive. I buy my favorite sandwiches through these services because the deli doesn't offer delivery services. They are providing me with a service and i am paying for it higher prices and a delivery fee. Deli still gets the same amount of money if i walked in and bought it. Its like expedited passport services where you pay someone to go stand at the passport office line instead of doing it yourself. No one calls those services anti-competitive.
We are also dealing with licensing "the right way", all the appropriate parties are involved. I can't be more specific right now but we plan to announce all details soon.
I'm curious by what metric you perceive we've been #1. The fact that we have the largest prison population and per-capita incarceration rate comes to my mind most readily.
> You don’t have kids. Calling me lazy because I don’t have time to load up for small children in the car to drive a few miles then have to wait 0-25 minutes

My mother did that all day long when we were children.
Thanks for the explanation; that all makes sense and certainly makes the naming of GKE seem like less of a driving factor.

PS: For anyone curious about the adoption of the word 'Kubernetes', Google Trends provides a good summary: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=kubernet... (2014 was definitely very early days)
I remember seeing an app once that was used in stadiums and other public venues that could be used to create a distributed and coordinated lightshow with the audience smartphones. How it worked is that the audience would activate an app, put their phones up in the air, and a loudspeaker in the stadium would emit ultrasonics that the phones would pick up. The phones would then turn their screens on or off, and by using different frequencies, you could switch up their colors or selectively turn on only a couple of phones.

Ultrasonics are a really cool and easy way to have short range transmission of data, or even broadcasting with a loudspeaker. The data rate may be low, but it's perfectly fine for stuff like toggles, or transmission of commands.
You're saying it's reasonable to publish "main kampf rewritten using woke language", and "a study on how men should regularly use dildos on themselves to improve their social attitutes"?

If it was just the dog park paper, I could see your point, but come on, those papers are completely farcical.
Delivery apps and websites highlight and promote restaurants with "free" delivery. Anecdotally, people like feeling like they are getting a good deal. The "free delivery" that is included in food pricing is more enticing than cheaper food with a $9 delivery.
This makes sense. My dog spends considerably more time sniffing ground from a pavement renewal project nearby. She may be sniffing smells that were left here decades ago !

Also, a few months ago, an article was shared on HN explaining how dogs are able to detect heat with their nose. And this makes sense too: whenever I shower, my dog starts sniffing and scratching walls near the shower stall, where the pipe is.

I bet she could sense a rat hidden inside a wall or in the ground. Predator™.
Yikes. Love the app idea. I hate the first use case shown. I've never gotten anything helpful from a CEO/manager slacking me, "How are you doing?" At best I have to stop doing what I'm doing and respond relativity quickly so I seem attentive to this superior. Normally there is no purpose to the interaction so it just feels like wasted time and more wasted time due to context switching.

At it's worst it turns into a checking in conversation with some critique that would be better suited for a phone call or in person meeting.

Advice to CEO's/Managers: The how are things going slacks do not feel like a personal chat. Create a culture where people will ask for help and guidance when they need it and let them do their work.
Oh, thank you! Potentially saved us from unnecessary headaches. I'll be sure to use regular KeePass when editing a shared database. For my own db I prefer KeePassXC, and use DropBox for syncing between devices.
I expressed myself poorly on point #1. I did not intend to ask for a reason behind the axis power thing so much as amusedly draw attention to the coincidence.
I'm generally sympathetic to this perspective, but the problem is that the restaurant receives the reputation hit when GrubHub delivers late, cold, overpriced food. Customers don't understand what they're buying, and when something goes wrong, they leave bad reviews on Yelp et al.

This seems like an information problem rather than a pricing problem. As long as the customers understand the relationship between GrubHub and the restaurant, I don't see any problem with GH charging whatever the market will bear. But right now they seem to be deliberately misleading the customer by listing fake prices separate from the delivery fee.
> Up and down can't work, because acme was designed for proportional fonts, and many of us acme users use proportional fonts. Up and down are not well defined/not useful with proportional fonts.

It can work with proportional fonts. Word for instance defines it well enough to be useful. Rather than down taking you to the same column on the next line, it just takes you to the character rendered at a similar x coordinate on the next line.
I used to know a political cartoonist fairly well and, yeah, it's hard. Of course, the same could be said of an opinion columnist. But, speaking as a writer, I think it's probably easier to "phone in" a column now and then than it is to whip off even a relatively mediocre cartoon concept.
It doesn't necessarily need to be about politics.
> When something is too good I will always ask, what are the trade offs?

Sometimes there aren't trade-offs. The thing about new technology is that it pushes out the "Pareto frontier", that configuration surface along which trade-offs happen. A classic example is the "fast, good, cheap" trilemma. You can imagine this trilemma as a geometric object (say, a hypersphere) and the particular "fast, good, cheap" trade-off you make as a point on the surface of that object. New technology makes the whole object bigger.

Does the v0 technology have important disadvantages? Sure. LEDs started out being red and dim. Now LEDs are the "too good to be true" option, beating most other lighting sources most of the time in most domains.
My understanding is that the Federal Reserve seems to intend the lifting of the cap to be essentially permanent, despite the cap being lifted in the form of an "interim final rule".

1GB for 10EUR on a prepaid in EU is way too much. In Germany, the price is about one tenth that (7-8GB for 9EUR) and that's supposedly already a high-price region when it comes to phone rates as they say. I believe in other parts of Europe (Lithuania, Estonia?) you can get up to 40GB LTE for 10EUR.

I've worked for telcos, and postpaid is indeed very much about "buying customers" via deals/sales prediction models and customer retention; they kindof have to do this, else they simply wouldn't exist in the marketplace. But for prepaid, OTOH, I can't see anything wrong with the prices (ok you don't get a sponsored spyware device every other year).

I'd just take a look at some patches out there. There's a lot of usability tweaks existing for acme.

however I still think acme is a conflagration of confusion. It has programs, inside of it, it's a text editor, a terminal, but breaks the interface of /dev/draw so it doesn't properly multiplex by rio.

Often stated, and I imagine to be true, acme was to be a full replacement for rio almost, but it ends up falling short of that.
So winding the coil requires robotics. And any lithography process requires robotics, cleanrooms, aggressive chemistry, vacuum chambers and whatnot.
I'm actually a bit worried about the next switch's GPU (assuming Nintendo plans a switch pro/2 as next major upgrade).

The embedded GPU line of Nvidea switched from being focused on entertainment systems to be focused on "embedded" AI. E.g. cards running the calculations for self driving cars and robots.

This not only means they have different focus in their software stack but also that in the hardware they come with tensor units and similar.

Lastly they seem to be more expensive then the previous maxwell based ones (back when the switch was released). But this is hard to say as the prices I take for come from they AI boards.

But I don't think Nvidea is interested in making custom chips for Nintendo. (At most some variations of the Chips they do anyway).

And if the switch needs to switch the GPU this would be a problem for backward compatibility which I think is a major must-have if they bring out a switch 2 or similar.

IMO the apps should be forbidden from billing restaurants at all. Force them to bill delivery customers directly, keep their hands out of small businesses' pockets, and let the consumer decide how high a fee they're willing to pay for the convenience of ordering via app.
Unpopular opinion, but as an old person, I am starting to look down on having too many technologies / frameworks on a CV these days. Some developers need to try something new every project and never learn anything with style or get deep into a tech, they are busy jumping on the next trend and learning things at a very shallow level.

It's not a definite "no", but it's a red flag for me as to why you would need Flask for one project when you have used Django for another and PHP for something else. If you can convince me that you that you had a good reason for changing that doesn't appear to be resume driven development, then I'll listen.

Also I am starting to value team players over technical skills. Provided you are of a reasonable level of ability it's more useful to have a team player than a diva genius. Most of us are doing a variation on CRUD that doesn't require superior levels of algorithmic ability.

My 2 cents having done this for 20 years and getting a bit bored of the bullshit .
RAID won't save you from bit rot, and after I added bit rot detection in PhotoStructure, I was surprised to see how many of my files on older spindles had succumbed to minor corruption.

Using a filesystem that supports data scrubbing doesn't require an "enterprise class" budget anymore. After fielding this question from several of my beta users, I wrote it up the why's and how's on my blog: https://photostructure.com/faq/how-do-i-safely-store-files/
I would suggest hitting up "speaker coil winding" on YouTube if you think this requires robotics. Sometimes the simplest thing is "pay a human $8/hour". You don't even need to spend millions on a litho node to make it work.
That alternative in 2020 is Python 3.7+ with typing annotations.

Python is very "batteries included," and there is a large set of exisitng packages for most things. One can monkey-patch things and invent cute syntax, but most python is rarely hard to reason about what's actually going on.

It's easy to bag on parts of python (eg some syntax and terrible distribution story), but I feel much less crazy (and suspicious of every punctuation mark) when working on a modern python app than when working on a modern ruby app, especially in the presence of rails.

It's an ADA [1] thing. The door will always remain open a certain length of time, after which the door close button starts to work. If you keep it open past the normal automatic closing time (whether with the Door Open button or by manually obstructing the door/sensor), you can usually use the "door close" button to close it immediately after.

Yes, but coiling stuff requires more complex robotics and a robot per coil, since you can wind a wire around only one coil at a time. With big lithography processes, your robot can be simpler (since it doesn't need to reach around or inside a complex shape) and it can process thousands of devices (on a big wafer) all at once instead of individually.

I really hate this sort of argument... that people who use the newer, more convenient, technology are just lazy and should keep using the old way of doing things.

Why stop at delivery apps? Why are lazy people driving cars instead of just riding horses? Why are you ordering things online instead of just going to the store? Why are you farming using that tractor instead of a horse drawn plow?
