You are both entirely right.

It's hard to judge their writing without seeing their resume and/or cover letter
The car crash one is terrible, I bet you'd want to throw your computer out the window after hearing that!
Thanks for commenting - like others, I'm a big VR fan and hugely perplexed by how Google has walked away from it. Leaving us with Facebook is a horrible outcome and locked-in Apple not much better. Even if I'm disappointed by what you say, its really helpful to know this was the thought process within Google.

I guess I think Google is taking a huge risk here by taking their hat out of the ring so early. Even if others have slowed their investment, Microsoft/Apple/Facebook are under the radar continuing very significant work and it really feels like we could flip over a tipping point and Google might be way behind. This may be more like gcloud than Android and they could find themselves a decade behind other players.

My personal use case is being able to have any number of monitors of any size and shape, eg: [0]. So far its been limited by screen resolution and lack of good hand tracking and dedicated accessories, but these are very close to being solved with the next gen. devices.

Apparently he used Sentinel-Hub, which is a service I'd never heard of. I just signed up to try their service but apparently the free plan advertised on their pricing page is a scam. There's no such thing. It seems you can't use the service without paying.
The delegation of accountability has become an epidemic. No one recognizes their own faults; everything and everyone else is to blame.

There’s an old saying that I absolutely love: I am only responsible for what I say, not for what you understand.
I guess I can only speak for what I've seen in New York, where it seems like PHP dev salaries are a bit stunted. WordPress or otherwise.
> With Hack's extensive static type checking and even contexts / coeffects

Have you used contexts/coeffects?

My understanding is that it's still yet to be fully rolled out to WWW, and nobody outside FB has yet played around with it. IMO it still has some DX issues (https://github.com/facebook/hhvm/issues/8828) and the examples given in documentation don't actually work in real life (https://github.com/hhvm/user-documentation/issues/1016).
Are you seriously asking this question?? You think he was lost, but had a working phone with network connection??
If you need the money you should probably take any job you could get. Customer support is not exactly a natural stepping stone, but its extremely hard to advance your career if you don't have enough money to survive.
The sheer verbosity of Java is just unbearable when you're used to Python/Go/Swift/etc.

No, Java is just about as hyped as it needs to be. Which is to say, it's more or less fine. Not great, not terrible. Middle of the road at best.
General data is in government reports. The farmer who owns that GPS coordinate has it, but considers it sensitive data and won't tell you. There are big databases, but they respect the farmers not wanting to share and won't talk. The admins of those database are registered with the SEC as having inside information and so they cannot trade in relavent markets.
I found the “subjective” comment easier to understand than this one. Not every opinion or generalization requires citation. Your stance and reply are also subjective. I do prefer quantitative data and references, especially when the topic is at all scientific. It doesn’t automatically make qualitative or broad statements pointless though. It especially doesn’t mean they don’t contribute to understanding.
It's not rose colored glasses. That would be if you were claiming the combat was good... But they definitely made design choices in the subsequent games that made them feel less enchantin. Mostly by taking any real work out of the game. Which is ok. They are just seeking a different audience.
FWIW, I think the rule about classes being either abstract (like interfaces) or final makes sense. Inheritance is the biggest OOP anti-pattern, producing most headache and bugs. It cannot be completely removed from an OO language like PHP, but can be nicely replaced with composition using interfaces / abstract classes and traits.
I have never been a java developer but I get the impression it is similar to C++ in the way that they were not that great early on in their history but have since been dramatically improved, but the old reputation persists to outsiders.
I’ll support this too. I was more than a decade into my SWE career when I decided to finish college. It’s tough but being on the other side of it I can understand why a college graduate is preferable as a candidate more than someone who hasn’t. And it doesn’t have anything to do with learning to program.
University studies are hard, and it’s not the material (for the most part). It’s the effort, and the dedication.

He needs a better phone. It's a potato quality photo. A better phone might have had him found sooner.
If, for some reason, you don't have Word, just write it in text format, and use ".doc" as the extension. Whoever opens it will automatically have it magically transformed into commentable Word format. Word readers are available.

I actually sent my resume in .txt to a job. HR called me and asked me to resubmit it in Word. So I changed the extension to .doc, emailed it over.

I was hired.

(But really, with the problems you're having, use Word. This was just a funny but true anecdote.)
In the grand scheme of history, land ownership by the larger public is essentially nonexistent. Land almost always was ‘owned’ by a government-supported aristocracy. For the vast majority of history, land ownership also meant sovereignty. As in, it’s yours if you can fight for it.

So yes, I agree that real estate ownership is not ‘value creation’ in the modern world. It’s speculation of a finite resource, but unlike Bitcoin that resource is essential to livelihood
Should just print a trillion or two, you know, in reserve. "Authorized but not issued" is what they call it right?

That seemed to be the recommended way of starting last I touched PHP professionally (4-5 years ago)
I think it used to be difficult to find decent clubs outside of school, but sites like meetup have tons of different groups. Language meetups are particularly plentiful. They are different from a class, but they are always open to people of various levels.
It wasn’t dedicated to audio - it was DRAM (slower than the main RAM) that could be used for various things - but audio was one of the most common.
Clothing prices seem to be way up in the US, especially shoes. My suspicion is people are flush with cash from the stimulus checks and retailers can charge whatever and people are buying.
What is this noprocrast feature? I don't see it in the interface and can't find it on Google
A free news reader app I built has a feature like this. News sources are sorted from liberal to conservative, and there's a dial that ticks from left to right as you spend time on different sources. If you tend to only read sources on one side of the political divide, you get a warning to read news from both sides. If you don't heed this warning, you are eventually locked out of reading news on your preferred side.

It's not a global anti-design feature, since it's still possible to use the app for many hours. But the app allows the user to pre-commit to reading a mix of news, since it isn't possible to just read news from one side in the app. [1]

I think you figured it out.
Just for clarity, how are you defining "Wealth" here? I tend to think of knowledge and skills as a form of Wealth, but it's reasonable for that to be debated; especially if all you're measuring is relative positions in a commodities market.

Either way, I think it's possible to argue that the US did generate Wealth in WW2, in the sense that it developed new technologies and knowledge that were eventually shared worldwide (I'm thinking mass production of materials like plastics, antibiotics, better research on nutrition, etc, statistical engineering techniques which eventually helped build up the Japanese auto industry), and that it trained a large portion of its population via the G.I. Bill and women working in factories, etc.

(None of this is to belittle all the damage done by the bombs, etc, and the US did have a massive advantage in non having it's production capacity wrecked like Europe, Russia and Japan. The broken window fallacy is a real thing)
My bad. I sorta cheated saying Central Europe when really my familiarity is limited to Germany/Sweden/Denmark.
The most interesting patents have already expired.

Most of the clauses you think of as onerous are non issues to real farmers. Hybrid seeds don't breed true, so no farmer is saving their seed in the first place.
As the author, I resist the idea it was a good idea.
That shade map is awesome!

Does it include buildings? (Could it, if not?) I’ve been dying for this for ages.
I am sorry, Go? That can’t be right. I even doubt it’s any more verbose than python or swift. You CAN make it verbose that’s for sure.
Java was heavily hyped back in the 1990s and 2000s. It's still a decent language and has a number of things to recommend it, but today we have things like Go and Rust.

I think it really fell out of favor due to Oracle's litigious handling of it. As soon as Oracle bought it I remember people actually cancelling Java projects and changing languages.

Another problem is how complex and verbose it got. Original late-90s Java was pretty clean but eventually the ecosystem fell in love with enterprise style cruft and overengineered everything. It's less a problem with the language than the community though. Like C++, you do not have to use every pattern and language feature... but many people think you do and write ridiculously complicated verbose code.
Tried it today, definitely over-hyped compared to boba
Ah another new dev enamored with IntelliJ. You'd think one day they'd realize that it's the IDE they love, not the language. But in my observation, they never do.

Reminds me of a rationalization I heard once about how people pick their brand of cigarettes. They all taste like crap until you're finally addicted, then the one you happen to smoke at the time is now your brand.

Every new language / stack now gets compared to Java with IntelliJ because that's what they learned. Can't tell 'em any different.
It is amazing how rural internet can be great in one area and non-existent in another. There are islands in Alaska with gigabit service now, yet I know somebody who lives ~3 miles from a state capitol who can't get more than 3mbit DSL.
Thanks. Most of the small condensers seemed to be designed for instruments which is why I thought shotgun would be better. I really could live without a 12 inch long mic so I'll take a look.
It's not an easily intelligible lay summary because the meaning could be anything. It only conveys emotion, not knowledge about nature. I suppose you're being an activist trying to convert people to your religion of doom. In that case, you do need to convey emotions like fear to fool people into imagining things are unboundedly bad. Quantitative predictions put a cap on how bad it is so they're not as scary as the unknown.
Not just that, the Mirage Solo cameras create a _much_ more believable stereo image when you get pass-through. It's my favorite pass-through system. Have you seen the Rift S pass-through image? Horrendous. Quest is also terrible, but Rift S is just unbelievably bad.
>you kinda seem like you might struggle just doing exactly what you're asked to do. Bringing up how frequently you quit things for various reasons or finding issues and bringing them up with your superiors' superiors

Yes, this is what stood out for me. OP sounds malcontented, and habitually dissatisfied with his role, and makes antisocial decisions (like spoofing numbers - which is not just dishonest but shows contempt for the target) that show poor judgement. He compounds the poor judgement by bragging about the previous poor judgement.

The antisocial stuff is implicit in what he doesn't mention: from his descriptions, his workplaces are hollow boxes with some juicy targets (execs) in them and nothing else. Where are the people? There aren't any because at some level they don't exist for the OP. This is, of course, a hallmark trait of narcissism.

The good news (great news, really), is that NPD is one of the most treatable of personality disorders if the person decides they want treatment. The reason? The narcissist is confident in their ability, and confidence helps when you want to shape your own behavior.

The caveat to all this being that free advice is worth what you paid for it, even less if given by a stranger on the internet. But, FWIW, it's my honest take. If it ends up being accurate (if you look up the disorder) and you get help, I'd love to know if this post help you. (See, I'm a little NPD too! ;)
An iphone costs more and the monthly plan is more expensive and when you figure a PLB is insurance against a life or death situation, the 400 pricing or monthly fee is nothing...

Plus, you can find simple ones used... spot beacons have a pretty healthy after market
Looks amazing, thank you for sharing.
Java is poor choice as a language for teaching programming. There are simply too many irrelevant bits that will get in the way of learning.

That thing is worse for the soil than a big tractor. It has to make more tire tracks to cover the field, and soil compaction is sub liner with weight so overall it is doing more damage. Sure where the tractor tires are it is worse, but the tractor tires skip a lot of space those harm.
If you feel that way about Java, I'd love to know how you feel about C. Fast, runs everywhere, tons of interoperability, fairly compact language, your choice of compiler, etc.

Also, congrats on graduating from CU! Just graduated last semester.
InfoQ EMag: Modern Data Engineering
That's really good to know, thank you for that info.

I've accumulated roughly 4 years of experience as a full time employee/contractor at a large bank in roles falling into the program's guidelines, so I hope that will allow me to pass that requirement.

Contribute to a significant Open Source project. Many contributors to the D programming language project have leveraged that resume into well-paid jobs.
"The scholar, having to encounter doubts and difficulties on all hands, [...] learns to take nothing for granted; least of all, to make an assumption of his own superior merits. [...] It takes years of patient toil and devoted enthusiasm to master any art or science; and after all, the success is doubtful. He infers that other triumphs must be prepared in like manner at an humble distance: he cannot conceive that any object worth seizing on or deserving of regard, can be carried by a coup de main. [...] It never once enters his head (till it is too late) that impudence is the current coin in the affairs of life; that he who doubts his own merit, never has credit given him by others; [...] that the world judge by appearances, not by realities; and that they sympathize more readily with those who are prompt to do themselves justice, and to show off their various qualifications or enforce their pretensions to the utmost. [...] He who has spent the best part of his time and wasted his best powers in endeavouring to answer the question -- 'What is truth?' -- scorns a lie, and every thing making the smallest approach to one. His mind by habit has become tenacious of, devoted to the truth."

William Hazlitt, The Shyness of Scholars (1827)
Your understanding does not reflect the reality of the pharmacutical industry in its current form nor the Doctors that enable it.
It is hard to figure out what the problem may be, without knowing you, so I won't try (feel free to PM if you want to do something like a mock interview).

One thing that may suck, but want to make you aware is that chances are you need to do things worse temporarily, before they become better. You may need to put extra effort now (go to community college etc), for reward later.

One program I'd suggest you explore is AWS Re/Start, https://aws.amazon.com/training/restart/ ... it may be right for you (Amazon also has a similar internal program).
IIRC. the edit option expires after 1-2 hours on HN.
I think I misunderstood your comment
Interesting. I'm curious: roughly how often did the candidate promise they'd take your feedback constructively, calmly and then argue with you anyway?

(I'd hope it would be close to 0, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was much higher.)
I would not listen to any advice on HN. I have a pretty solid hiring strategy, but it got downvoted to hell because HN skews to people without much real world experience. They can only think of tech products to sell to other tech companies. (I'm a CTO, and I've raised seed money for two different products. Our market is small -- under 200MM ARR -- but our nearest competitor starts at $30k per year and their product is terrible).

Focus on smaller companies that need help solving actual business problems with automation. Offer to do a project for $20 an hour. Get a job doing straight up IT stuff until you earn their trust, and then show them what you can do software wise. There is a lot of room for competent IT people, but you need to be way more realistic about who is going to hire you.

Honestly, I don't know why anyone wants to work for Google anyways. I took a developer course from one of their former employees, and it was a fucking joke. His ego trip was so ridiculous he said the words "no good Javascript developer uses four space indentions. Have you ever seen one??" And I was thinking, yes, in the library you had us review last week.

Lots of imposters and jackasses out there. Do honest work for smaller companies. It can lead to a lot more opportunity.
Java: the worst of both the interpreted and compiled worlds.
I google'd OHP and Oregon Health Plan was the first thing that popped up. It seems like only people living in the state of oregon qualify for OHP. I currently live in the southern united states. I've used interviewcake, and looked at leetcode problems etc.. to prepare for dev interviews.
Value doesn't have to be money. You can be nice to someone and that adds value to the world and counts as value creation. If all you do is suck value out of the world then I would argue you are a bad human being.
Id disagree with you, and i've worked in a fintech as a hiring manager have CFAs on the team - with or without it its not been any different. If I can ask do you have a CFA yourself/are you in the process of getting one as I feel this would significantly bias your answer. It was a hard decision but I feel it was the right one.

Perhaps verbosity isn't the right word, but having to put every function in a class (in a correspondingly-named file) feels extremely cumbersome to people who grew up with languages that just have functions and weren't exposed to Java early on.

I think you are missing the main point of the original comment, using it as an opportunity to virtue signal about systemic racism.

A six-figure salary to study whether the electric grid is racist is absolutely excessive, but it’s just a small detail of the overall fraud, waste, and abuse that drives the exorbitant utility prices in Seattle.
It is my honest opinion that these drones are US military tech and are a flex against Russia and China
>You CAN make it verbose that’s for sure.

No true scotsman? Even if you want to argue that Java CAN be made more terse, the vast majority of Java that exists today is incredibly verbose. Even running a Java program is verbose. Java is the only language I've used where it's more common to have a shell script that starts your Java program than just running ./helloworld.

And yes, Go is less verbose than Java. Go might require some boilerplate, but it is certainly much less verbose than Java.
click on your username on the top right corner. There is a dropdown labeled "noprocrast", and I think the text-fields under it saying "maxvisit" and "minaway" put, respectively, a maximum amount of time that it will let you use the site contiguously (in minutes) (or, possibly, maximum number of distinct times it lets you use the site per day? not sure) and a minimum amount of time between visits.

I haven't used the feature, so I'm not sure quite what it does.
I often think about that, and recently I thought about something else: zoom out enough and humans appear as a single individual /intelligence, the same way it you zoom out of our own cells the aggregate of it all seems to be acting as one intelligent individual (a human).

Now can we extrapolate? If we zoom out more do we see the same happening? Does the interaction between all the galaxies create a thought? A slow one perhaps.
When I served ads, It showed I had about 10k unique readers a month.

When I stopped serving ads, It had over 50k unique readers a month.

Google definitely rewards landing pages without ads and it turns out, over 70% of my readers used ad block and i was really always doing 50K more uniques a month but they were blocking analytics and other things (tag manager) so they were ghost readers anyway...

without ads, google sends me a hell of a lot more traffic too
By the time of the Turing Award, LSTMs were still state of the art in NLP. Arguably with the use of attention which came from Bengios lab.
Desperate is what the primary person feels. Creeped out is what the receiving person feels.

When does desperate become creepy? Everyone has a different definition.

If I was an exec on the receiving end, I'd definitely be put off by all of this.
I used starlette and switched to fastapi. For a one person project the bonus free swagger docs in fastapi were what got my attention. If that's also built in to starlette... I guess then the marketing worked on me.
I think this is just one way in which many politicians are the same. This does not mean that they share all the same concerns or have the same plans for the country.
Java is not hyped because it is a tool. Like a microscope, it just does what it supposed to do.

IMO, if you want to get a descent job in a large company working on backend systems, you want to learn: Java, C/C++ or recently Go.
You will be able to build pretty much anything, from a micro service to self driving car.

If you want to stick to startups, you can do well with anything else till it growth, experienced engineers are hired and rewrite it in one of those languages.
Just wanted to say this is really wholesome!
Sure, but the internet is awash with similar activist opinions when it comes to climate change, biodiversity, and sustainability. They go in circles reinforcing each other without being grounded in reality. Their aim seems to be to mislead people with fear instead of sharing understanding. I think that underhandedness is what grates on me when I read them.
What good would that do?
