I can immediately see how this would be useful for prototyping (and growing) a product! But it might be helpful to include a FAQ answering (at least) the following questions:

- Can user information be exported for clients who may want to build out their own solution later? If so, what does that story look like?

- Can account management pages be customized/styled to match the clients' branding?

- What parts, if any, of Clerk are open source? Do you have a github?

- Do free tier users have a grace period to upgrade/migrate if they exceed 5000 MAU, or is user access cut off until they upgrade?

- Where are you located, and are you targeting certain regions/countries for new hires?

Also, the tier pricing is a bit opaque.

The "professional" tier pricing appears to start at $49/month (for <= 1000 MAU) and scale to $4999 (for 100,000 MAU). The "enterprise" tier mentions a volume discount (which would suggest less than $0.05/MAU), but presumably the overall price increases? If that's not the case, why not allow clients to remain on the professional tier if they don't need features exclusive to the enterprise tier?
My first reaction was that surely this must be satire, because the last thing I ask myself reading that post is "but how do I know these 2FA GitHub accounts are not hacked?!" ...
The answer to your question is a big stonking depends. There are some skills and knowledge that are transferable across languages and ecosystems. Some companies are happy to find good talent that are willing to learn and will teach them the specifics of their language and ecosystem. Other companies are unwilling to take on people who don't have 5 years experience in their stack. I once had a company reject me outright because the majority of my experience is with React and they use Vue. Both are Javascript libraries and more similar than they are different. Sometimes the argument in those cases is they need someone who can get the work done yesterday, other times its mere tribalism.

Your best bet is to build a couple of side projects with the language you're interested in and use it as proof that you've passed superficial interest and are willing to learn. After that its down to finding a company or a team that are willing to give you a shot. They are out there.
The set of people at the wire transmitting full articles might be different from the set publishing brief facts from low-bandwidth locations. (But it is convenient if they use the same infrastructure for it!)

I'm not convinced they would be compressing it. When you have the bandwidth for a full article, size is probably not going to be the problem, and when you don't have the bandwidth, compression is probably counterproductive.
They do specific checkups like breast screening, but if you asked for a generic 'yearly checkup' they'd call you a time waster and probably write something on your record!
I hardly think that requiring a test and affirmation of responsibility before allowing trading of options to be "encouraging" people to use them.

If the government were to impose such restrictions on something like voting, they would rightfully be slammed as intending to restrict and discourage voting, so how can one argue in good faith that the same restrictions imposed on something else encourage that something else?
It's a fair comment but you have to admit that the javascript world presents a set of problems that go way beyond the language itself. The problems are different in backend development and in a way they feel a bit more contained.

In the java world I feel I know exactly what to do even though it bores me to tears. In Go I know where to look, same can be said for python and dotnet.

As much as I love the really interesting things I can do in the JS ecosystem I find debugging large projects excruciating. I didn't find the comment particularly arrogant and it rang true to my experience.

When I’m hiring and I expect to receive a lot of applications I’ll ask for a cover letter as a way to help filter out the first round. It’s basically a few hundred words to highlight which parts of their CV going to be relevant to the role, plus anything else they’d like me to know about their suitability.

It also helps give a really basic indication of someone’s written communication skills and can be a good indicator of whether they’ve actually read the JD or whether they’re just blindly applying for anything they find.

Some of my colleagues and I were joking recently that the "AWS well architected" framework should've been named "AWS well paid" framework. It's like it's no longer legit to run a small site serving a small community. It has to "scale", be secure against minions who want to usurp your machines, have backups, CI, CD, GitHub events, run on K8sa and be "cloud native", and on and on .. to show some HTML page when an end point is hit. I feel I can't even joke about this any more here.

The stacks run deep on both ends .. but I'm often not sure to what end.

Weird that the author says all languages are very similar. Strongly suggest trying something like Elm (although I do not recommend it for any large production use, small areas are fine.) to see how brilliant the experience in another paradigm can be.
Base-10 is rather incidental to metric: we can have a "kilofoot" just as easily as "a dozen metres".

The main benefits of metric (actually SI) are:

- One unit for each dimension, e.g. all distances are in metres.

- The conversion factor between dimensions is 1, e.g. 1Nm = 1J, 1Pa = 1N/m^2, etc.

We often use prefixes like "centi" or "kilo", but they're just multipliers rather than separate units (SI calls them "derived units").

The main problems with metric are:

- Still some redundancy, e.g. litres, tonnes, hours, etc. These are avoided by SI.

- The base unit of mass is confusingly called the "kilogram". Hence any conversion factor involving grams will get a 1/1000, since the gram is 1/1000 of the base unit.

Perhaps. Although I think in both cases the answer is that I would want fewer or no immigrants. The fact that "they're violent because they're immigrants" or "they're violent because they're poor" is quite irrelevant if you are the fireman being attacked by "youth" [1]

There is an issue in France regarding attacks on firefighters. It's most likely caused by systemic racism and the constant discrimination faced by immigrants when they get controlled or arrested by firefighters. Or, quite simply, as you mentioned, poverty, forcing people to throw steel balls and fireworks at firemen, so they can feed their families.

I've done my fair share of hiring (Tech company in London), and I don't think I've ever seen a cover letter included with any CV. Recruiters either don't ask for them or don't bother to pass them on. When we get referrals from our colleagues, it's typical just to ask for a CV and get a phone interview set up as quickly as possible. Maybe it's different if you do a lot of direct hiring.

I am a digg refugee and using Reddit for 12 years. Reddit has some serious lack of moderation issues and too much politics now a days. Most of the country based subreddits are hijacked by the political ideologies of just 1-2 moderators.

For example, /r/India is hijacked by the moderators with political affiliation to Congress and AAP and they ban users immediately with any opinion which doesn't fit their narrative. I have messaged the reddit admin team to change the mods and stop calling them official subreddit of India but they obviously don't care.

Too much politics may cause Reddit downfall.

Account security with 2FA is a long way from foolproof. Accounts get compromised all the time, especially by phishing or malware.

When it really, really matters, you need more than 2FA.

> Of all the hills to die on, why that one?

It is morally unacceptable that on 2021 there are new taboo words being introduced. I say that from a far-left perspective, and as somebody who has been on the receiving end of ugly ethnic slurs. There is a time and place for speech; and certainly in an academic or otherwise serious adult context, any racial slur can be used. If you cannot do so safely, this means that there's not really free speech, and it is a totally fine hill to die on.
The thing I don't like the most about frontend is setting up a stack. Often I wish things were more explicit and less magic.

It feels like a lot of a projects' meta state is managed poorly in the filesystem.

One concrete thing I can think of, when Typescript transpiles to dist/*, it is not cleaned up from last time it transpiled. So if you directory structure changes this can lead to strange issues like running an old version a .js file without realizing it.

A very high level/magic library I use provides no way to configure its initial setup through javascript. To do automated setup I have to write a config file to disk to work around it. (The library is otherwise great, and I should report this now that I think about it!)

Other than that I kinda like the messiness of frontend.
Virtual Airplane: “The Book about Aircraft Reference Drawings Is Available”
You could of course argue that environment in the womb is largely genetic (and has a 50% correlation with the kid's genes, which is damn influential).

But once we open that door we're going down an extended phenotype rabbithole where you can start to talk about social interactions amongst non-immigrants being partially genetic because of correlations within regions, etc, and hilarity (with a healthy dash of idiocy) ensues.

The greater point being that saying something is either genetic or due to environment is always a pointless exercise because there is no separation, there are merely genes that spread without ever deciding how to allocate blame or credit for their successes and failures.
I have a strong impression also that the hysteria accomodated well in the backend world. Folks in the workplace need containers on k8s cluster to deploy a static website. I feel I'll start throwing things on hearing the word "cluster", but wait - the data lakes on the cloud are coming. We need a bloody thunderstorm.
Actually it may be best to unsub to most of the default subs including pics because of the political noise (which /pics magically banned since the Jan 14 and may continue past the one month ban). Seriously, too many subs are so over the top flooded with managed political crap it just poisons the well. Reddit is actively managed by political groups because of its position in the internet.

the targeted subs is where its at on reddit. So my recommendation is edit your subscriptions and remove all but what you specifically came for.
I like the idea of making things more "seamless", but what troubles me is how cavalier people are willing to disregard existing knowledge about how to make working markets.
For example, CLOBs are not a bad thing and re-inventing price discovery mechanisms is a dangerous thing (I am aware of all the issues in real world markets, but still). Some of these things have many 100s of years of evolutionary refinement in them. As another example, atomic settlement is also not a cure all, as it might up the liquidity requirements (i.e. have cash ready before entering into transactions, which is not how the current world works and it is not clear that this would be better world).
The other overlooked item is role of real world law and legal actions, so there is an inherent mechanism to legislate when trust breaks down and that will supersede whatever a smart contract might say.
Some points on transparency are also somewhat outdated, regulators now collect vast amounts of data to understand what happened on certain events, where exposures are, how market structure changes and so forth.
The target system probably fared better than you think - as a whole, it certainly wasn't destroyed.

As with this incident, operators were physically present. That seems to be the real lesson (even if - see other war stories on this thread - operators tend to themselves have a creative approach to network security).
Or go into trust-circle reviews. None of the trust circle using it means the product is untrusted, having to be more careful.
I think worse than this defacement is when someone alters a quote to redact (usually using punctuation) or intentionally misspell "bad" words.

Brackets clarify a quote by providing necessary context, and are clearly marked as an alteration. Editing a word to a different word, or intentionally misspelling a word when the quote was not misspelled is actively dishonest.

Draining a huge lake is easier said than done though. Even if the bypasses are still up for it they almost certainly were not designed for that. In addition, every bridge and river bank downstream would need to be checked and possibly reinforced for a much higher flow rate.

Btw, the time scales are quite long even if it can be done. Filling Lake Mead took from late 1934 to may 1937 or about 2.5 years. Assuming the downstream infrastructure can take double the normal flows, you'd need 2.5 years to drain and another 2.5 years to refill after the maintenance is done. The opportunity costs are huge, it seems at least worthwhile to check if you can do the works underwater with robots or something like that.

That's obviously bullshit though, this can't possibly put peoples lives in more danger than using signal without a proxy a week ago would've.
Wouldn't that be rather dangerous? If the cooling system failed and the engineers were unable to get it up in time, then it could result in rather unpleasant consequences for people downstream.

But yes -- transparent dams would look awesome! :D
Yes, of course, I agree!
Where I disagree is the notion that putting some PGP keys in a github issues comment is going to prevent anything :/

Edit: Like, if I had hacked one of their accounts, what's keeping me from commenting there and just copy-pasting the key they used before, or generating a new one? Are they going to check?

It need not be, as long as the fee is less than the cost. It could be symbolic (say $1). But the problem is that it would be seen as a revenue generator whether it is or not.

I feel that filtering has to be secondary to restricting your information intake.

I've realized that you can be informed on world matters with just 5 mins of news per day instead of a hour. My Twitter has little to no politics and mostly is about art, design and pop culture. I feel this minimizes the doom scrolling but I'll admit that you can't seem to completely escape the background negativity of Twitter.
Feedback: Having a GitHub repo full of compiled binaries, with no source code, and no license provided (as far as I can tell, this is closed-source, proprietary software, yes?) is somewhat misleading.

To second another comment. You have the domain knowledge so that is a valuable place to start. Build the applications in that domain you have experience in, on different tech stacks as side projects to demonstrate the competency. Ultimately, that's all experience is on your CV and the technical interview will be their opportunity to plumb the depths of your knowledge.

Everything else, and I don't know how to stress this enough, is interview technique.

I believe there are only two problems in computing: how data is divided up, and how data is bound together. They function nearly the same because you can use one to get the other, but the choice of which one to apply is critical and influences the shape of the media built on top. Where division is easy, things get shoved into countless categories. Where binding is easy, everything gets glued together.

With respect to the issues of operating systems, "data" maps to "hardware resources". With execution logic, "data" maps to "software architecture". And so on.
Woodworking could be a mix of divisibility and industry specific product sizing. Dividing a 2" by 4" into pieces seems easier than dividing a 50.8 mm × 101.6 mm.

> this can't possibly put peoples lives in more danger than using signal without a proxy a week ago would've.

I see one reason it could, it filters out people who do "need" to use it. It could even be people who did not use it before, but think it's undetectable now. Signal implies it can't be detected, at least to non-technical readers.
