Copyover MUD servers used to do all sorts of cool stuff. I remember seeing one that would reboot by:

1. Open a pipe

2. fork()

3. parent exec()'s the new binary with an argument saying "reload yourself from pipe at FD #n"

4. child writes the entire game state including open connections down the pipe, and closes

It's done this way so the PID of the process doesn't change.

So Apple can do segmentation aka user tracking at a group level because it doesn't expose the group IDs. Yet, we as consumers don't have transparency into the segments we inhibit. I am not sold that Apple's segment solution truly respects our privacy compared to solutions that don't rely on user identity or store segments.
I do use and like both fastapi and pydantic but this situiation is something they brought to themselves by adopting experimenral features into their mainline code and sell it as production ready. Python designers are not responsible for time-to-market decisions of other projects. It comes with the "no liability" part of opensource.

I’m confused, this article seems to assert that systemd-resolved can handle split DNS based on the domain name and even claims the docs for it are fantastic. But last time I went down this rabbit hole I finally gave up and combined it with dnsmasq. The docs are verbose but useless, and I ultimately determined it was impossible. systemd-resolved would failover to alternate DNS servers but you’d end up making a ton of failed requests. So if I’m wrong and you can actually send requests to DNS servers based on their TLD please tell me how.
I'm pretty sure the answer is, "You don't need to do anything about this." Note that Brett Cannon (Python Steering Council member) said that more people +1-ing or liking the issue is probably going to be disregarded (or possibly be taken negatively), in the issue: https://github.com/samuelcolvin/pydantic/issues/2678#issueco... and on twitter: https://twitter.com/brettsky/status/1382829606084829186?s=20

It seems that this post and the attempts to draw a lot of attention outside of core dev is likely to hurt pydantic's position rather than help it (though probably it will do neither because the core devs / steering council aren't going to ignore an issue out of spite or something).
Personally I wouldn't volunteer to tell them which or how many big tech companies rejected my resume. I'm afraid that nine times out of ten it would create undue prejudice in the interviewer/recruiter.
you call him a creep, I would call him a go getter.

it is immensely frustrating to deal with automated systems, resume keyword matchers, no contact within a company and being ghosted after taking the time to write a proposal and cover letter that is a fit for the job description.

so what, he called an executive and got around their spam filter?

my advice

treat job hunting like a sales process.

you're successful based on the number of interviews you get.

figure out during the interview what's their decision making process.

read more books on sales and learn to handle rejection.

stop pursuing status jobs, at least until you have one with a good income.

A lot of decorum and etiquette is just practicing enough to learn unwritten rules. Maybe it would help have more casual social interaction.

Might be tough in the age of covid, but there's lots of socializing and networking opportunities outside traditional interviewing. Meetups could be good, because you'd practice in the context of technical discussions and presenting your skillset, which is sorta like interviewing.

My second piece of advice would be to read How to Win Friends and Influence People. It formally codifies a lot of the unspoken rules that charismatic people take for granted.

Listen to chill music without particularly complex lyrics.

Turn off notifications for EVERYTHING. You’ll be shocked how little you miss them or need them. Even slack with coworkers you can take relatively asynchronously.

Break tasks down into as small of a chunk as possible and tackle each one individually (Getting Things Done is a short good read on this)

Read a good detective book like Homicide: Life on the Streets to understand how people can successfully approach open ended, “no help” scenarios.

When you get overwhelmed about number of tasks or some such, defer to your boss to prioritize what you will work on, and use that as an excuse to focus 100% on one thing at a time.

Take care of yourself. Get plenty of sleep (8+ hours), eat healthy protein meals including breakfast, and do some kind of physical activity.
Pick an area of science which intersects with human development and I'll find you something - the underlying truth is that we can't hope to disrupt such a huge percentage of our biosphere without nasty consequences, and we can't hope to have remediation efforts compete with the global engine of human development. We've essentially organized an entire global society around the injection of carbon into the atmosphere, while turning habitat into development at astonishing rates. To make things worse, humans are really good at adapting, so we're (by and large) comfortable while the world burns.

Press releases and pop-science articles tend to try to strike a more hopeful tone, because it's extremely tiring and depressing just hearing "we're screwed" all day. I try to stay hopeful, but my faith that enough people will care soon enough is basically gone.

Last I checked couple years ago, she was worth $140 million. She's worth even more now.

I am not against non politician people having tons of money. I am against politicians getting rich using insider trading. And the same politicians also accusing their political opponents of doing the very thing they are doing themselves - even more. Hypocrisy and double standards is what makes me disgusted.

There's not a single profession I can think of where someone would gladly be working when they are 80 years old. House and Senate needs term limits. 8 years max. No one should be allowed to become a life long politician and get rich off of it.

But unfortunately, what we want is different from what we get. There's no way these politicians will pass bills to limit their own terms. These people convince the ordinary people that they are all moral and care about them. But meanwhile they are getting rich off of public's trust in them.
I got a nice microphone but it's not directional and it picks up way too much ambient noise. Also I think it might echo (MacBook pro) so I just switched back to the internal microphone cause it seems to noise cancel correctly. Does anyone know a solution for that? I use MBP speakers for output.
This is mostly a fight between Google/Netflix and traditional telecoms. Google wants to be able to connect everyone with subsidized resources from municipalities, telecoms want individuals to pay for the privilege.
I agree but I would cut the OP some slack on the writing for a forum post. I know I have dashed off things here that could use some proof reading. But the gist of what you are saying makes sense to me.

Going back to college seems like a good idea as a general direction.

More cynical take: because most societies have to go through this experience, most societies don't make it to "advanced". That's one of the ideas behind the "Great Filter" hypothesis.
Thanks for the two upvotes so far! Please feel free to leave criticism of the article or my writing; I'm trying to strengthen my composition muscle.
Here's my overall suggestions, some of which are overlaps with other people's advice:

- Find a local programming or software or security group, get some contacts. Have people mock interview you as though you are applying for a job at their organization. Have them be brutally candid. My guess is that you come across as some combination of arrogant and disjointed, just from the writing and the patchwork of roles. See if someone will tell you that (or something else!) to your face.

- You need to build a narrative. I also do not have a college degree, and in the early days of my career it was very challenging to get people to talk to me. The key is to have a very clear story about why you are the best at X and/or Y and how past work funnels into this role you are applying for.

- Companies like google, facebook, etc. have so many candidates that they are totally willing to pass on perfectly qualified people that don't fit the mold of who they want to hire. They see it as a feature, not a bug, but it is not in your favor. Look for smaller companies, maybe less senior roles, maybe contract gigs, anything to build that narrative and give you some resume items.

- You should be networking, with those people from the first bullet point. If you develop a local reputation as someone who is smart and just has a funny resume, you are a lot more likely to get hired. By the same token, if you develop a local reputation as over-opinionated and hard to work with, you will know it and that is why you are having challenges.

- Don't get discouraged about stuff like the manual labor job - they're pattern matching as much as a big company like Google does. They look at your resume and say, "Man, this guy is all over the place, he is going to be more of a hassle than he is worth" and go hire the 19 year old who just wants a paycheck

- Think about consulting, either directly with a company or freelancing on fiverr, etc. Is it exciting? No. Can it pay the bills? Yes. Can it build towards this narrative that you came up with a few steps before? Yes, potentially.

The eternal optimist in me hopes their spies on Earth tell them that humans are entering a third industrial revolution which has a chance of making future growth sustainable, or at least much more so.
I agree with everything you say. My argument is not that investment is bad, but that as your wealth increases, your interest in getting even richer should decrease, and your interest in getting non-financial returns should increase.

If you have $100 million dollars, and you're investing in the stock market purely because that's the way to get the highest financial return, that is not rational, unless money is literally the only thing you care about. Presumably there's something else you care about, like the environment, or some political movement, or eradicating malaria, in which case investing all of your money in making more money is not the best choice. You probably still want to invest some of it, to maintain your lifestyle and maintain enough cash to use for the stuff you really care about.
And here's NASA and the general gov saying what I said in my last comment,

Going to need something a little stronger than xkcd here. I'm not a climate scientist but a lot of the names attached to both links seem to be and they're saying if we act decisively in the next 29 years we can avoid the worst effects, which in that second link is defined as < 1.5C change this century

Edit: I also want to make it clear just in case anyone misinterprets my skepticism over the depth of the effects as skepticism in climate change or the urgency of it in general. I agree we need to do what we can to make sure things like this don't come to pass because I happen to like our somewhat diverse ecosystem and that we continue to damage it isn't great.

Facebook absolutely does all the things you listed, and more; much more. While I agree that their incentives are often at odds with content enforcement, it is not a "just so" problem to be fixed with a better methodology or algorithm, and if you can think of it in an HN post I assure you they have already tried it in some fashion.

This was touched on above in slightly different terms, but I'm going to echo it because I see it in the answers here. You were raised differently by your parents. You are missing some basic social skills to interact with other people in a normal way, and unless you are exceptionally brilliant (which most of us aren't) people aren't going to give you a pass on those things because quite frankly it'll make it brutally painful to work with you because literally no instruction or direction can be taken for granted.

At this point in your life the best thing you can do is go to school, try to get some help from your parents or financial aid to focus on your studies, and absolutely do not try to carve your own way through the curriculum. Do the things they put in front of you. Show that you can take on tasks that are boring but necessary and get them done. Embrace the grind. And make some friends! Learning how to interact normally with your peers is a necessary skill that homeschooling rarely helps with.

Personally, I'm a college dropout. I was a mediocre student in high school and a worse one in college because I took time off in between, and was overly impressed with my own ability and didn't put in the work. It took me years to dig out of that hole professionally, but it's possible. And I would never have done it without the social skills and connections I made going to a major university, even if I didn't finish.
So... the average person in Israel actually spends less on water (even though it is more expensive) because they use less?

That is remarkable.
Part of what a 4 year college degree shows is that you can stick with something for four years. Combined with some of your other responses, I think it might be a good thing to have under your belt.

Also, depending on the college scene, you might have more opportunities to socialize with lots of people which you may have missed with your home schooling.

Depending on where you live, community college varies from amazingly affordable to right around the same as a state university. Check on student aid as well.

Sometimes you have to jump through the hoops to show you can.

Except for the car crash and the "menacing" one, none of them evoke the feeling of "something wrong", but then again I'm more familiar with PCs, which are less musical in the sense that the normal startup "chime" is actually a beep, but more informational since BIOSes will output different sequences of beeps depending on the exact error.

However, some BIOS authors had a similar sense of humour to Apple: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2500363 (the referenced article is now archived at https://jeffpar.github.io/kbarchive/kb/261/Q261186/ )

...and I also have a prerelease Pentium II motherboard that plays (a rough approximation of) the "Intel sound" instead of the usual POST beep.

Us gardeners topdress our soil with organic matter to prevent topsoil loss and erosion. Personally, I often use unfinished compost because my compost is usually not done yet.
I dunno, OP seems to have realized (according to other comments) that it was a bad move, and "I randomly decided to give up a job that in retrospect I could have put up with" does sort of seem like a personal emergency. :) To be clear I'm definitely not saying that you should make up a story "I had to take care of my grandma" or whatever.

I don't advocate lying (and as a personal quirk I'm very unlikely to tell an outright lie). But it's going to be very difficult to explain why you left all of those jobs in a way that doesn't scare an employer. If you can drive the conversation to roughly "it was a bad time in my life," that seems a) basically true b) personal enough that it'd be unprofessional for the interviewer to probe for details c) unlikely to make the interviewer fear that it will be an ongoing problem.

I guess the real advice here is, come up with an answer for this very foreseeable question, which you can say with a straight face and without getting yourself into more trouble.

That's factually wrong. Debunked many times on HN and yet still repeated.
> you call him a creep, I would call him a go getter.

I've not had terribly good luck with people who use the term 'go getter.' Quite a few of them have been creeps. Smooth and slick, definitely, but at the end of the day, manipulative people who I avoid making eye contact with at public events, hoping that they don't remember me. Creeps.
Not to be argumentative. But yes, I did attend college. Send me a email, and I'll send you an email from my college email address (Hasn't been deactivited yet). I can send you my college transcript if that helps.. Well, I did get hired by IBM as a programmer so... I've contributed to a GNU open source project.. So I feel that I am qualifed for a entry level developer/SecEng/Security Analyst role.

I went above my bosses head because they did not remedy the issue, and weren't going to.. The SVP guy that I did contact told me that would be willing to vouch for me that I did find a security vuln etc. He was actually quite receptive. I shouldn't of even had to, or felt like I had to go above my bosses head. There should've been a security email I could've emailed. That was at EA. At Amazon I emailed the VP in charge of the anti-fraud system since it might've taken longer for the blue team to send it to the right folks. But yeah, I do agree with you slighty on that.
"have a roommate or live-in significant other" - life's killer app.
I always felt being enrolled in a community college was always a key differentiator for me as a candidate. Beyond being a stepping stone into a top 10 CS program for me, I feel like those lines on my resume communicate that I am just a super tenacious and scrappy person.

It is the highest ROI investment I have ever made in myself.
What makes your you think that in the future there will be financial incentive?
Positively, you sound like a self starter and very good at figuring things out, including creative ways to break things. It does sound like there is a pattern to why your jobs have not been working out. One way to diagnose that would be to think about what it was like to manage you - how might have others seen you in a work setting? Pragmatically, I'd look for a recruiter who doesn't mind coaching a little, and in shopping for a recruiter, you may learn from your conversations with them.

I don't know about the "creep" feedback here, but it sounds like any experience learning how to be a good guy to work with would be helpful. I'd look at Joel Spolsky's writing as a guide to tech industry norms, or Laszlo Bock on trust in teams. Once you have the luxury of time, I would look for books or movies or shows that show problem solving teams in action, just to get some more insights from examples. Emphasis on "team". "Soul of a New Machine", by Tracy Kidder, wsa eye opening for me, though that's a picture of the industry from ~50 years ago. Ellen Ullman, too.
Another way around this is to not apply for the job. Find the hiring manager and ask them for advice/feedback on your experience/resume, that you value feedback more than consideration for any role. In YC we always reminded ourselves that if you ask for money, you get advice. Ask for advice, and you get money. I think this applies here. Get the feedback via email or writing so you can read it more than once or even share it with other people and have them help you interpret it for maximum growth. Ask people who you admire for advice and to look at your resume, experience, application, and invite them to be honest. And if you don’t have friends you admire (because as they say we’re the average of the 5 people with whom we spend the most time), expand your circle, finding ways to give to others with no expectation of anything in return.

You’ve started a great dialog with yourself. Congrats, and keep it going.

This is definitely true but it doesn't hurt to ask. I've asked every time and gotten some really useful responses.

When I was young I interviewed at Microsoft and was rejected. I asked the recruiter for feedback. She talked me through some of the feedback from the interviewers and gave me advice for the future. It was really helpful.

I think most people don’t really care about the “why” and instead just want faster and more affordable broadband.
I play a key role in our hiring process. Shoot me an email, your resume (in word format so I can comment if necessary) and some times that work next week for 30-45 min chat (after 4pm ET best for me). Think of it as professional networking call and at the end I’ll be as candid and constructive as I can. Email is in my profile.
People have evaded state level actors for years. Perhaps most famously Obama Bin Laden. Which means true anonymity is still possible.
