I'm quite (socially) liberal and I thought your post was simply wrong, for starters. Among the places you can ask the question "what is being gay" without getting "dogpiled" are countless gay sites. Aren't gay sites part of the internet?

Impressed with what I see. A place for book discussions has been long needed ever since GoodReads has stagnated.
Perhaps the developers had a success metric other than LOC.
You can pay about $250 for someone to optimize your resume with certain key words, punctuation, and formatting choices to make it through these systems. I did this and it worked. I was going for entry level finance roles in tech and finance. I went to a top 40 finance program, interned at Morgan Stanley, a hedge fund, and a respectable incubator, but had a hard time getting replies to my job applications. I used all the help and resources from my university's career center and followed everything on the infamous "Mergers and Inquisitions" website, which is supposed to be the holy grail of career guidance and resume formatting for finance majors. I had my resume looked at my everyone I could get critiques and edits from. I wasn't getting answers from my applications. After hiring someone to change the formatting, I got automated replies saying that they liked my resume and would reach out to schedule a phone screening. Same person, same level of "professionalism" on the resume, same experience, just different key words and seemingly arbitrary formatting choices to please the AI overlords.

I found 5 people claiming to optimize resumes for algorithms for the sorts of jobs I wanted. They all had high reviews from customers. I then asked them all questions through email and phone calls to see if they actually knew what they were talking about. I picked the one who appeared the best. Not only did she have some personal proximity to the space, but she seemed to know all of the nuances of how to please the resume algos. It was the best $250 I ever spent.

Point is, people are cracking these processes, it feels arbitrary but that's how the game works now if your a job seeker. Whether if be something like a resume screener or something of this level that claims to be able to understand your personality in 25 minutes, you can crack the system. If your hiring, I can't imagine how confusing this whole mess is on top of your already busy work day, but it's easy to manipulate these screening software products to make them think whatever you want. I've met many sketchy software sales people who just schlep useless enterprise products at businesses. I wonder how much of the enterprise SaaS world is made up of this sort of thing.
eBPF and Rust
Everything about it. Every moment spent organizing, planning, reviewing, coordinating, is just torture. If, at work, I am doing anything but working on code, or preparing to (researching, reading, etc.), I feel like I am wasting my time, and it is just draining. At the end of a work day, my mood is completely determined by how much time I spent on code.
I think most investors see it more as a store of value, compared to fiat, and more scarcity, transportability and accountability than gold/hard assets.
'Under a White Sky' Examines What It Might Take for Humans to Continue to Exist
Shaking off your former titles and successfully career changing is really hard to do, as I’m learning the hard way. Grats to her on her new opportunity!
Your last paragraph reminded me of this quote,

It is only possible to succeed at second-rate pursuits -- like becoming a millionaire or a prime minister, winning a war, seducing beautiful women, flying through the stratosphere, or landing on the moon. First-rate pursuits -- involving, as they must, trying to understand what life is about and trying to convey that understanding -- inevitably result in a sense of failure. A Napoleon, a Churchill, or a Roosevelt can feel himself to be successful, but never a Socrates, a Pascal, or a Blake.

Understanding is forever unattainable. Therein lies the inevitability of failure in embarking upon its quest, which is none the less the only one worthy of serious attention.

> Because of UCC, if I give away a product for free, I have to support it through its commercial life. So if I hand out knives, for free, and they explode after 20 years, I must still support it. Even if they come with a form that users have to click that says “I will not sue PrependCo if these free knives explode.”

Why does the UCC covers free knives, but not paid Google services?
Of course. I suppose what I meant to say too though is that having no job and rebuilding your house has nothing to do with freedom. At least, not the kind I want to exercise in my own life. These things have value, but they don't define me and they are almost entirely external. I don't want to define my happiness or value by my ability to retire and rebuild a house.

I don't mean to say everyone should feel this way, but I think it's important to recognize the limitations of wealth within the extents of what freedom can mean.

As I mentioned in another comment though, I'm realizing my comment was totally unnecessary here. I'll leave it, but in retrospect, it mostly served as a reminder to myself and probably belongs in a journal, not on Hacker News.
It seems no one had to rebrand Rust yet, but can you guarantee this will always be the case? Firefox was fine in debian until 2006.
Common Lisp with Emacs and SLIME if you want to do "ordinary programming" and want to really "feel" what Lisp is all about.
I'm not sure what value Tesla could add to ebikes (or full-speed motorbikes) besides the cachet they'd bring as a name-brand business - like autopilot wouldn't be a thing. There are zillions of commodity manufacturers building eBikes, what can Tesla add to that?

The only big advantage I could see is their charging infrastructure.
Yeah, the title of the article is pretty poor. It kind of sounds like someone who was promoted from a developer to something else, rose to the level of their incompetence, then reversed the promotion to go back to doing what they enjoyed.

This person was not a developer previously, so I don't understand how they were "demoted." Other than management > individual contributor.

What really happened was they changed jobs to do something they found more fulfilling. Which is great, but if I decided to change careers to building furniture, I wouldn't say I "got demoted to making furniture."
Where did I say that it was?
very excited to see this come to life! much needed place for book discovery
Not clear what OSes this works with. In particular, can we use it on Windows?

I recently I introduced a lot of OMP usage in Solvespace and it was really easy, and its transparent to compilers that dont support it. However, windows doesnt ship with the required DLL by default. Since we are a single executable file with no installer on Windows, we ship separate binaries with and without OMP.

If we could statically link this on Windows that would be great.

Yep, totally agree. We blocked China (a country we do zero business in) and saw a drastic double digit percentage decrease.
Ditto. I grew up in Fairbanks, AK, and it was no big deal. You just put on the appropriate clothing and kept doing your thing.
Simple. It basically comes preinstalled and works the same on all machines regardless of operating system (via web browser)
Stadia, from day one, has seemed like an engineering-oriented project. It's a cool tech that nobody asked for and not many people actually want (and has been atrociously packaged as an actual product). I can just hear the kickoff meeting:

"We have some of the best cloud engineers in the world, we have one of the biggest fleets of data centers. Not a lot of companies could reasonably implement cloud gaming, but I bet we could!"

That part is true! But then:

"Productization? Pricing? Market-fit? Customer service and messaging? Whatever, we've got good tech, it'll sell itself. We can figure all that other stuff out later, that's the easy part."

...cue the flop. It was always going to be this way.
I regularly ski without backup gear and with quality gear even falls haven’t been an issue. I’m not sure what kind of failure could occur within a short walk of home that would be life threatening.

Maybe I’m not being imaginative enough.
Android doesn't actually need a 3rd party barcode scanner app. Google Lens supports barcodes.
FLOSS may have security vulnerabilities, just like any other software. An OSS android app which has no anti-feature flags on f-droid with intrusive advertisements or malware behavior, deliberately implemented by its own developer, is something I have never heard about.

The same can't be said about 'free' (or sometimes even paid) proprietary apps from play store.
I have had this thought about much web software these days. Requesting a lot of data from DB instead of just keeping a persistent object system in the memory.
Ah, good idea. Done
The risk to their business of negatives whether or not they are false negatives, is likely higher. The resource asymmetry between a tax payer funded prosecution and a defendant funded defense is enormous.

Curious, can you elaborate?
Inflation is a progressive tax, but in the opposite direction we normally expect. The wealthy hold a much smaller proportion of their wealth in cash than do the poor so inflation is, in fact, a way to extract more wealth from the poor.

The rich tend hold their wealth in stock, land, and other assets. Most of which inflation is mostly neutral or beneficial to. The dollar value of TSLA goes up in response to general inflation, but the purchasing power generally remains the same.
Not only that, there's a "plus" version that's both better and is now free, as it can't be updated anymore via Google Play.

You're getting downvoted because it is getting easier by the day to not be unbanked, and "verification" will always exist due to nation state AML/KYC requirements.
Defining the ‘New Normal’ and Creating an Equitable Recovery after COVID-19
Given the low confidence intervals due to the small study size (~10,000) in the overseas studies, I don't think the FDA is wrong to wait for enough events (aka X people get COVID) in the USA study to more accurately determine effectiveness (30,000 participants, 2/3 with vaccine). That said, I think it's likely safer to consider safety data from those other studies, as that's unlikely to change much based on study size (especially combined with the fact that X million have been distributed overseas).
Interesting, do that's how it works - thanks for the explanation! :)
A free, open-source future for Mailspring
Workable but no, not suitable. PowerDNS has a lot of features and isn't terrifically simple to deploy. DNSMasq is easier to deploy, but still has a lot of features and isn't easy to configure.

The niche I'm aiming for is for people who just want to map hostnames to IP addresses. And note this isn't a commercial offering, just something I built for myself that I'm going to put up a website for and maybe some other people will find interesting. I do think I have some product-market fit because even among my dev friends, who are all quite talented, many of them have mentioned to me "yeah I threw bind9 on a server but decided I didn't hate typing IPs enough to actually set up and operate it".

I'm aiming for zero onboarding time and zero maintenance headache. You run a docker container, map the ports, and then there's a nice web UI that takes you the rest of the way.
> Bitcoin transactions don't consume mining energy. Mining power is completely independent of transaction volume.

I'm not familiar with the intricacies of bitcoin, but another comment claimed that the block size is limited (without hardforking) and the number of transactions per block surly is limited by the block size?
Have you tried differentiating ISP vs hosting provider traffic?

Also, you could try to detect headless browsers like Headless Chrome.
I second this wholeheartedly, it is a very positive story, albeit with a cheeky title. The article explains how a person in a "higher" position (director of design) made the active choice to change career path and start again as an associate developer.

It didn't come out of thin air, as this person had been coding as a hobby for a few years (Ludum Dare rocks!). So she actually did have some skills, though maybe not as formal or structured as say, a tech recruiter, might want to.

Furthermore, it's great that she is working in an organisation that would support such a change. It makes this career change much easier than having to quit your job and trying to get gigs or get hired without having formal credentials or experience.
XMPP Addresses
Can someone explain to me why titles like Engineer, Architect, and Developer are perceived as having less value than titles like Manager or Director? Managing products requires a completely different skill set from managing people. Both skills are vital to the success of a business and neither are trivially developed or easily replaced.

If you ask me, the "demotion" in this article is not going from Director of Design to Software Developer. The demotion is going from a senior level position to an entry level one. But that's not how it's presented.
I went from a Sr. Manager to Jr. Developer. The pay cut sucked. The first year working as a developer was rough. Everyone assumed that I knew a lot because of my age, but I was mostly a newbie.

Fast forward 8 years later, I am a Lead Developer and making double what I made as a Sr. Manager. I am still learning, I am still behind compared to my peers. Technology feels like it's moving too fast.

But in the end, the best part is to open my IDE and write code. It makes me the happiest.
As someone who reached quite a high rung on the ladder (from outward appearances anyway) in a different career path prior to development, I think it's really healthy to see it as a demotion or step down.

If you stay in denial and hang on to your old title or status, you will struggle coming to terms. Having relatively little influence over strategic decisions is super difficult as one example. Also no one really respects you for expertise you bring from a prior career either since they don't really know how to judge your "stature" in that field. Not to mention that if you mention it much at all, it can raise questions in colleagues minds about your dedication to the new field.

All that being said, I couldn't be happier with my change and am so much happier as a person.
Have you ever heard of fractional reserve banking?
I’m an IO psych at a large tech company that evaluated pymetrics against job performance and there was no relationship, just near 0 correlations so recommended not using them and we don’t. These AI tools are not transparent enough in explaining their outcomes and lack what we call face validity or job relevance. A coding test is at least a good filter at the top for entry level roles with large pools because it has relevance and false negatives aren’t as much of a concern (but we test still for disparate impact) otherwise for most roles a structured interview is the best option.
Sorry for the delay in replying. I was going to reply the next morning, but then I forgot as I was quite sleepy!

We do have a page https://nyxt.atlas.engineer/documentation that basically lists the information. We used to retain that link, but found it unnecessary since now documentation is all built-in.

As Nyxt is quite young, it is still rapidly changing between releases (this does include the UX (as you've mentioned)).

For this reason we would need to provide versioned documentation. Perhaps we can generate versioned documentation from our CI. I will look into it. Thank you for brainstorming with me :-)
It's incredible to me how much of a difference in incentive to walk, even as someone who loves walking, between living in a place like Austin and New York City. Sure, climate is a part of it, but in New York I never minded taking a walk on a refreshing cold day. However, since Austin is so hot all the time and most sidewalks are either covered in homeless people or just in neighborhoods with far less going on I found that going for a drive replaced going for a walk (especially on 100F + days). The health implications of this are also pretty interesting. Keep on walking folks!
The mining part doesn't belong in the analogy but I think the perspective is dead on.

Here's what you're missing:

What is rare about the results produced in mining is something that we humans would have control over, not the aliens.

Aliens showing up with literal alien technology is one of the few things that might get a cryptocurrency to update their PoW someway or another.

Agree. Big name and celebrities should held social media accountable and companies or organizations defrauding people should not get away with these kind of shenanigans.
Nice work. Just a heads up for troubleshooting, I searched for Succession and it shows when Season 1 and Season 2 were released, and said it's next season is Season 4. Looks like Season 3 was skipped? https://i.imgur.com/2IegGEK.png

Is Chime or other similar fintechs who aren't going to extend credit for overdraft and similar on a deposit account not an option? In my activist social work, I find it continually getting easier to get the unbanked banked, including finding them accounts with orgs that support Zelle for instant funds transfers [1].

People keep arguing crypto when internal fiat is likely to end up as central bank digital wallets [2] and cross border transfers will be facilitated by fintechs like TransferWise, with central banks essentially assuming more and more of the cross border infra over time [3].

Anecdote: A friend needed financial help due to COVID, and I was able to get their Citi deposit account setup with Zelle in ~2 minutes and send them cash from our reserves. The transfer was effectively instantaneous. IMHO, the problem isn't the transfer mechanism, it's ensuring that everyone has a a bank account [4].

The article only has limited details, which are near the bottom of the article:

> The company said that its research found vulnerabilities that affect symmetric encryption ciphers, including the Advanced Encryption Standard, or AES, which is widely used to secure data transmitted over the internet and to encrypt files. Using a method known as quantum annealing, the company said its research found that even the strongest versions of AES encryption may be decipherable by quantum computers that could be available in a few years from now.

> Vinokur said in an interview that Terra Quantum’s team made the discovery after figuring out how to invert what’s called a “hash function,” a mathematical algorithm that converts a message or portion of data into a numerical value. The research will show that “what was once believed unbreakable doesn’t exist anymore,” Vinokur said, adding that the finding “means a thousand other ways can be found soon.”
ripgrep isn't a 1:1 rewrite of grep. It's a different program.
Others have mentioned that the data sources for this kind of thing are often quite wrong.

An alternative approach, if you are willing to limit how far ahead it can tell you of the next season, is to use TV listings. That will only give you a couple of weeks warning that the new season is starting, but for a lot of people that is fine.

I used to do something like that for movies on non-premium cable. For most movies I wanted to see, I'd wait until they showed up on some channel included in my cable package, such as FXX, Disney, TNT, Cartoon Network, USA, TBS, or similar.

I had a list of movies I was waiting for and a PhantomJS script that would go to the Comcast schedule site for my area and grab all the movies showing in the next two weeks, and tell me if any that I were waiting for were on any channels that were included in my package.
This is mild exploitation widespread in employment, and I think you're identifying with the exploiter.

It's not the rewards up front, it's the rewards as-you-go. Or it's the rewards at the end of the previous rank.

Always having your pay 1yr behind your responsibilities is wrong. You're doing the job, you get the pay.

On day 1 of being a lead, you've never been a lead before, but you are now. Year 1 leads get lead pay.

"You've done great, you're at the top of your rank! No, I can't reward you for it yet, just start at the next rank and we'll wait and see pleasethankyou." No. We saw. Pay me.
I truly love HN's ability to shit on Javascript -- even when no one was talking about it at all! Hats off to ya.
Your drain over a reasonable period for example unplug your laptop and shove in into a bag and take it out 1-8 hours SHOULD be relatively small.

For example this now admittedly dated review seems so suggest a drain of about 0.6% per hour.

https://lifehacker.com/how-much-battery-life-does-sleep-mode...

However the internet is seemingly full of complaints that machines drain fast during sleep so your experience may not be unusual but it might pay to check if something is wrong or at least sub-optimal.

For example GPU not actually turning off, usb device keeping it from sleeping, hardware or software waking up your machine.
