[stockholm] In my last job-hunt it never happened. The recruiters I was contacted by then was very professional and all the interviews was actually quite good matches competence wise. Now lately I did the mistake to check a box in LinkedIn that I was interested in a new job, and I have been in contact by recruiters that clearly play a numbers game and try to send me on as many interviews as they can. And that becomes a waste of time when both I and the interviewer within minutes realise that either I don’t have the specific experiences they are looking for or it is a position I’m not at all interested in. And that the recruiter knew before the interview. I often don’t hear from those recruiters again until they have another interview they think they can send me on. All of this second kind of recruiters have been based in the UK, while the first ones have been physically present in Stockholm.
> if you could be specific about what "she's not allowed to do", rather than just sort of implying that all the stuff your daughter wants to do is un-doable

Do I really need to itemize all the things that kindergarten kids could do a year ago and can't do now? (Anyone with a 5 year-old, or indeed any child, can no doubt rattle off a list of this stuff pretty effortlessly...)

> it's probably not a win

Sorry, but who are you to judge that?

I offered to take my daughter to see one set of grandparents a few weeks ago, involving international travel and - how can I put this? - a somewhat liberal interpretation of the rules. The grandparents bit my arm off. Their choice. Yes, they had a fantastic time with their granddaughter for about 24h.

People die all the time, for all kinds of awful reasons. Looking at the raw stats, this year just isn't that outstanding. Sorry.
I'm not a recruiter, but I've done a lot of recruiting and hiring inside of companies. Your points about the process being lumpy and drawn out is the thing that many candidates don't quite understand.

Some large companies hire engineers non-specifically into large talent pools, then assign them to specific teams or positions later. If you're operating at this scale, there's no excuse for not moving quickly and following up with candidates.

Most companies don't operate like this, though. They're looking for one candidate to fill one specific position, and hiring the wrong person is a costly mistake. It takes time to gather candidates for a narrowly-scoped job description, coordinate interviews that work with their schedule, get approvals, and push the hire through.

Going into this, I thought communicating weekly with candidates would be a good thing, as more communication is better. To my surprise, frequent communications without progress is misinterpreted as a negative signal by a lot of candidates. I could send the most harmless e-mail explaining that we're still moving forward with the hiring process but haven't made any decisions yet, and candidates would assume this meant they were going to be rejected. Younger candidates were especially prone to over-reactions, with some of them explicitly withdrawing from the process to avoid the possibility of explicit rejection (Usually remedied with a phone call).

In an ideal world we'd move as fast as possible from interview to hire. In the real world, coordinating interviews with more than 5 candidates while everyone is also trying to do their regular job duties just takes time. Still, it should be standard practice to let candidates know when the position has been filled or they have been removed from consideration.

I've also noticed that expectations from some candidates, especially the recent college grads, are getting out of control. For example, I've had a few candidates get irate that our offer letters had expiration dates set 2 weeks in the future. There's a growing misconception that any expiration date on an offer is an "exploding offer" and therefore a predatory practice. I have to explain that we can't keep the position open for them indefinitely, and if they don't want the job then we can't keep our 2nd choice candidate on the hook forever.
How did you know where the cell ids were located. Did you figure this out yourselves, or were you able to get this information somewhere?
Nothing to do with LinkedIn. I write like that online because I feel people read like that online - they more easily consume bullet point style writing than paragraphs. Dunno if that is true or not.

Animal Sensation of Earthquakes.

Though a not well studied phenomenon (thankfully), it is well documented and seems to be a reliable, if brief, predictor. Even if it is only a few seconds of warning, that could mean a lot of lives saved by announced warnings or via automatic means.

SFHs are assessed by looking at comparable properties because there isn’t a liquid market continually providing feedback of the current value of the asset. With rental property you get a pretty good signal on an ongoing basis - the rent! So investment real estate is based quite strongly on the Net Operating Income, and the value is the net operating income divided by the sale price which gives you what is called a capitalization rate (how much money you get coming in for how much you had to come up with to buy the place.) cap rate is impacted a bit by market and a bit by segment (upscale property vs housing for lower income folks) but it is mostly impacted by current interest rates. Cap rates can be like 4%, or where the sales price is like 25x NOI. So, at a 4% cap rate, differences in rent have a 25x impact on the value of the property (big expenses like property management costs tend to be proportional to rent, etc.)

So now that you know about how NOI is the thing that drives property value, some other practices make sense — “concessions” (free months of rent) are only sometimes valued as part of the rent roll, but usually ignored unless the property has a pattern of excessive turnover. This is why landlords are more likely to give you free months rent instead of lowering your rent!

Anyway, it’s all a game that serves to transfer wealth from workers to capital holders and our tax system incentivizes this in many ways. Used to be that people spent way less a portion of their income on housing, but the move to create an “ownership society” actually made it way more expensive relative to wages, to the benefit of land owners. This also explains a large part of the wealth gap between white people and Black people with redlining and refusal to loan for black neighborhoods, etc.
It's a stepping stone to enable the future. There's no non-catastrophic future for humanity that doesn't involve expanding past Earth orbit.

In fact, it may be entirely possible to eliminate the root cause behind climate change - economic growth - in a humane way. So the best bet is to channel it in ways that aren't destructive to Earth's biosphere. Asteroid mining is a part of that, and this achievement is a stepping stone in that direction.
Won't recruiters just blacklist their domain if they start getting lots of these emails? While I agree that ghosting candidates is rude, this solution seems to be very easy to work around.
This happens at stunning scale; there are probably several billion messages a month sent via malicious form submissions globally, by my rough semi-informed estimate. (That includes other types of abuse than the one you mentioned.)

Perhaps this is bias from dealing with that kind of spam on a regular basis, but my current position is that a captcha needs to be present any web form which can even indirectly or occasionally result in an email being sent.
This is what she/he said.

Edit to add: a thread of sequential puns and then..
I see a lot of comments on usability of HS in Prod. We @ juspay.in use it to power a bulk of UPI payment transactions. We also use PureScript to power our payment page SDKs.

API (CRUD/Auth) code written in HS becomes a beauty once you start building experience with HS. I think the most advantage of FP comes from how it changes the way you model your solution for a problem. With a strict type system, it's easier to anticipate edge cases and with currying building abstractions becomes natural.

Having said that, HS is not all sunshine. It took me an inordinate amount of time to setup an IDE like environment. If I recall correctly, HLS would take > 20GB of RAM in few hours with our code base. Eventually I had to remove that and extensively use only the editor features to jump around code.
Doesn’t seem like an accusation of a conflict of interest to me. Just pointing out who has the burden to test. Since one is paid by the company, it does make sense for testing the company’s products would be his responsibility first.

Whereas the previous comment was accusing the other one of lying about testing it.
That will be more helpful
Yeah, I intentionally left off agriculture. Most farms I know have to work another job to make ends meet.
These kinds of services have good intentions but never even think about how their services will inevitably be used against others.

There are bad actors that wouldn't think twice about ruining the career of somebody else for no reason. And even people who feel victimized may actually not be and there may be nuance if you get the full context.

And what is is with this idea of destroying the livelihood of someone else because you feel slighted?

Stop this nonsense.
> AND FYI - recruiters get ghosted too by employers for various reasons.

Eveyone ghosts everyone, all the time... and that's okay? I may be in the minority here, but to be honest I think I actually prefer getting ghosted.

It's like the proverb: "A wise man hears one word and understands two." I don't need a polite but almost always vacant pleasantry, which is what this site is saying is missing ("manners"). If I didn't get a reply, that's a lot of information already. That's all I need to know.

Now, many people do want to know why they didn't get a job, what they can improve upon, etc. That's a way more relatable gripe for me. Still, everything in life is a numbers game. You'll always want to know why someone broke up with you, and part of growing up for me was realizing that you'll never find out and that's okay.

EDIT: To clarify, not advocating ghosting and certainly not something I practice in my personal life. It's definitely better to be polite and direct whenever possible.
Chance to improve some user experience here: is it possible to use `stack` without installing Xcode on macOS (BigSur)?

That's certainly what's implied by Scannell's answer to Question 8, but such a solution comes with its own set of limitations related to design by committee.

Small startup teams are still the most effective way to solve hard problems in our society,
and so I suspect that any definitive solution would likely be built and sold to the industry by such a team.
Transparency is still very expensive unfortunately. DICE spoke about it a GDC talk last year and recommended that the any hit shaders that are used for alpha testing (i.e., transparency) should be avoided if possible since they're rather expensive.

Their big problems is trees, since leaves modeled as flat squares with their the actual leaf shapes in textures (that are completely transparent around the leaves).

"Trees are our biggest problem in ray tracing. No matter what we do they're by far the slowest thing to trace, and they're much worse than on rasterizer, and if you have any ideas of how to ray trace trees efficiently, we're very happy to hear them. We've asked a lot of very smart people and no one has come up with a good answer yet. You can choose between geometry and alpha testing and both are kinda crap." - It Just Works: Ray-Traced Reflections in 'Battlefield V', GDC 2019.
Police across the US are trained to default to the threat of violence at all times, with the expectation that if they don't someone will immediately try to kill them.

Can somebody explain this problem for the uninitiated? Is this just about not hearing back about the next step in the interview process or why you didn’t get an offer?

I mean I think it’s pretty clear why recruiters would keep their options open up until the last second and limit information sharing.

The way to respond to that is to create urgency by having multiple parallel interviews in the pipeline and letting them know your deadlines. This works like magic if you are even a moderately strong candidate. That will have about a infinitely greater effect than sending whiny anonymous emails.
I believe the oxford/az vaccine is using more traditional methods. It uses a modified virus that is only able to infect monkeys, so it is not harmful to humans.

I don't think that novel is necessarily what you want when it comes to a vaccine. Kind of like saying that x software is better because they used all the very newest tech that just came out. I would prefer something tried and tested.

However, the data and results for the mrna vaccines seem very positive so I would still be fine taking it.
I've worked with many recruiting teams as a hiring manager and many of my friends are hiring managers at other tech companies. We talk about how bad the current situation is across the board. The processes are all pretty similar and generally bad at treating the people being vetted well, and tracking them throughout the process to close the loop. I attribute this to a top down problem across the industry where these teams are led by the same recruiting leads who jump around companies so processes are standardized and they've convinced everyone that the current process works well. I've tried to have conversations diving into the details and looking at ways to improve this experience and recruiters are not interested, as they think the only think that matters are some specific metrics that they are measured on. I can't blame individual recruiters for this, since it's how they are measured, I can blame recruiting senior leadership who has allowed this to happen and continues to be ok with it.

Working on it!

Technically I think btleplug might already work for iOS (I haven't tested this but I've heard the corebluetooth calls stay the same?), and I've gotten the library to compile for iPhone, but I still need to build Swift FFI bindings.

The web version currently "works" via the WebBLE browser that's a available in the app store, which is just the webview polyfilled for WebBluetooth: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/webble/id1193531073

But I wouldn't call that a great experience.

My life is so much better being in the Apple ecosystem.

Some of it was unintentional, but now its iPhone, Macbook Pro, Apple Watch, Airpods Pro, and IOT devices that use Homekit. I have an iPad but I use it the least.

Pre-Intel I used to make fun of "Apple fanboys". But aside from the niche and incompatibilities of the PowerPC architecture back then, that turned out to be a lot of other immaturities I had and was raised with.

I also used to use Android, but the "look how many advanced, poorly integrated and under maintained things I can do by myself" concept didn't stay appealing for very long.
Simply put, having a suspect who looks like someone who committed a crime should never be enough to make an arrest. People look like other people. There has to be more to suspect someone than just what their face looks like.

If the police make an arrest based on facial recognition alone they have essentially given up doing police work and are just following suggestions that a computer makes. If that's what society chooses to use for justice then fire all the police officers and employ some minimum wage workers to do the job instead.
I mean, I've heard this before and even entertained an idea of building couple apps on blockchain myself. But are there any real-world apps which were 1. adopted by a large number of users 2. adopted by users specifically because of blockchain?

It's a shame because recruitment is another high pressure sales-like environment where targets and commission are king. Especially early career, taking shortcuts can seem the only way to keep up. The tech industry (in the UK at least) talks - a lot - and word gets around quick leading these behaviours to have a damaging, lasting impact.

> Okay you are right, GHC does not produce a stable ABI with dynamic libraries. But it could do so in principal, no problem with laziness itself. It just would be a lot slower without all the cross module inlining and so GHC chooses not to.

It could do so if it were to be willing to sacrifice having even a modicum of performance.

Lazy evaluation is incredibly slow without these. The theory behind lazy evaluation, is that it can gain back some of the performance it inhærently loses by allowing these kinds of aggressive hole-program optimizations because code can freely be re-ordered as no code has side-effects.

Without taking advantage of this re-ordering, one is only met with the pœnalties.

Note that in Haskell very fundamental primitive logical operations such as `||`, `&&` and `if` receive no special treatment from the implementation and are ordinary functions. If these were not allowed to be optimized as such, and they would be provided as a library, then the code would be prohibitively slow and would essentially require that a thunk be passed at every instance of a normal logical construct.

> The archlinux haskell packagers could just ship programs as statically linked binaries and not recompile them on each minor dependency upgrade (except if there is a security upgrade). The binaries would not have any dependency on haskell packages themselves and you would not be forced to upgrade the whole package graph when some dependency is bumped, that would also save a lot of download bandwidth. I'm not sure that anyone really needs haskell packages (besides standalone programs) from the system package manager. No haskell dev I know builds their programs this way.

Indeed — no one does, because the unsung pain with Haskell is that it's impossible.

With strict languages one has the option for dynamic linking, and dynamic linking seems to be what has won out due to it's convenient “update once; update everywhere.” benefits — that is not available to non-strict languages, for which static linking is the only viable way of distribution.

Its an altruism that by definition the key benefit of realtime ray tracing is the real time, as you say. We already have baked/non-realtime ray tracing.

As for cinematographers or some other change...it's all the same. Studios already think about lighting and framing and everything else in the scene. This won't be a revolution in that aspect of game design.

I’m not seeing where ‘urban area’ is defined in that document. I imagine it includes basically any town or city. The original issue was NYC/LA/SF vs. the rest of the country, not urban vs. rural. Plenty of college towns, for example, likely qualify as urban yet are extremely affordable.

When I mentor college grads, I always emphasize that they should not get too attached to any one specific job listing. Like it or not, getting a job is a lot like a sales process, and you can't close every deal. Putting all of your chips in one basket is a recipe for disappointment.

Regardless, about 1/3 of them fall in love with a specific job posting and lose a lot of time assuming their first choice will work out.

Everyone should treat the interviewing process like a numbers game. Apply to many companies. Don't get into a position where a single company decided to pass on you will destroy your finances or make it difficult to put food on the table. Don't become emotionally attached to companies before you've been hired.
