OK then, grab a Raspberry Pi 3B, 4B and Zero, pop open these docs for config.txt, and try and figure out how far you can push each of these tiny machines: https://www.elinux.org/RPiconfig

Really though, the RPi's config.txt is exactly this kind of rabbit hole. I just got a Zero W today and now I'm thinking about if it's possible to underclock it enough to power it with a lemon battery via GPIO.
It may be sustainable on a longer time scale than you're thinking of. For instance, perhaps we use fossil fuels to provide the value needed to find new sustainable sources of energy. Could we really make nuclear fusion reactors without ever having first burnt a lot of coal and oil?

Lots of things are unsustainable in the short term but sustainable in the long term. Hunter-gathering for instance. If you pick the berries off a bush, they're gone. You can't keep doing that all day every day or the plant will never reproduce and eventually stop producing berries. But if you look at the hunter-gatherer's berry picking habits over a whole year, it may well be sustainable because he's not doing it at the same rate all the time. Similarly, our unsustainable behaviors may be limited to a few centuries of rapid change taking us into a new and different sustainable future that wouldn't have been possible otherwise.

Right, and any salesperson will tell you that acting like a creep isn't going to get you sales.

I wouldn't go as far to say OP is a creep, but some of the behavior mentioned does make me cringe a bit.
If you look at a language like Go, it's rare to find a project not using the standard gofmt. PSR-12 states that "the benefit of this guide is not in the rules themselves but the sharing of those rules". The guidelines to use single quotes and tabs vs spaces exist for the sake of consistency, to remove that subjective argument from the conversation.

This is typical for internal transfers in large companies, pressing Apply is (almost) the last step.

From the other side of equation as a hiring manager, it's a small negative signal if somebody internal applies "cold", the good candidates tend to reach out first.
Also, they generate way more electricity than they use, so they use the extra money selling it to subsidize local efforts.
What do they want async for? PHP's purpose is to run once to generate one HTTP response - they'd already forgotten this by inventing frameworks, but adding async seems to especially have forgotten this.

PHP already had curl_multi_perform which is very useful for running child tasks, but I'm not sure you need much more than that.

I'm worried that this would be used to combat things other than child abuse. A system they're after will likely be easily extendable to detect and report anything the authorities decide is wrong.

And of course, it's almost certainly going to be an opaque blob that users can't truly understand, despite any assurances given to the contrary.

It's just a linting standard. You're free to use it or not and some linters support the entire specification as-is but with tabs instead.

"way way behind" and "pretty bleak" are completely subjective and thus meaningless for trying to understand nature. If you can't quantify it, you're only able to think using feelings and feelings can't tell you important answers like what we should do. They can make you believe you know what we should do, but you'll be wrong because your feelings won't be accurately tuned to the reality.
It doesn't no, but if I advocate for the language enough and get it used enough, I can guarantee for the entire rest of my career I can maybe avoid ever having to write any more new projects in said languages. I can just avoid jobs where such languages are still used commonly.
Yeah, also some incredible literature and worthless spam. Practically infinite expression will inevitably lead to poor results in one corner or another.
I wonder if that is related to why they don't want mail in ballots. You can't have an october surprise if too many have already voted.
On the contrary, I think they are more concerned with supporting the core language and interpreter than with anything else. Also why is this a Github issue and not being discussed somewhere like the PEP subforum of discuss.python.org?
Oh, don't forget the billions spent on that last bit of sewage while allowing open defecation in parks and on roadways.
This sounds a lot like what’s happening in Seattle. There was a recent controversy with the “Black Brilliance Project” (https://sccinsight.com/2021/03/08/black-brilliance-research-...) that seems to have been just blatant corruption that took advantage of the ongoing Black Lives Matter movement. A bit further back, the city has been giving away taxpayer owned property to favored nonprofits instead of selling them (https://durkan.seattle.gov/2020/11/mayor-durkan-applauds-cit...), and justifying it using vague progressive justifications. If you go back further there are examples of corruption in the city’s “homeless-industrial complex” (https://roominate.com/blog/2016/anatomy-of-a-swindle/).
PHP's chaotic developer community, as well as the "there are 1000 ways to do the same thing" philosophy that it inherited from Perl, is fertile ground for those who wish to say that they know better than others. This occurs in every level, from which quote character to use, all the way to how to arrange your namespaces.

The PSR's also reflect this tendency. They're a mix of extremely useful standardization (e.g. PSR-4) and hardcode nitpicking about whitespace (e.g. PSR-12). Take what you need, focus on maintainability and interoperability, and ignore the noise.
If some "Enterprising" souls want to turn this into a real-life musical they would probably be guaranteed an interesting cross-segment of Mad Magazine fans and Star Trek fans.

The Social Construction of Racism in the United States
I'm much more fatalistic for humans than either of you. We've been downright nasty to all other forms of life on this planet for millenia, and now we've stepped up from just being nasty to being positively ecocidal, ratcheting up the biodiversity loss with each new techno-monstrosity we create. We are 100% headed for the trash heap, IMHO.

You're right that we are "thinking animals", but we've got a global animus now that is obsessed money and growth. We're infected with a greed virus that I think is fatal to its host.

And the problem, as I see it, and alluded to in my OP, is that local incentives are all wrong now. Nearly every decision that is rewarded by the markets at a local level is bad in the long term. You can teach a small fraction of people so that they may become enlightened, but greed spreads faster, and is better rewarded. In a game-theoretic view of this, it will always pay to defect from those conserving and living sustainably, as you externalize the losses onto an unseen and uncared-for future, and spread that loss among everyone else. Moral hazard, everywhere. But now, with global civilization and industrialization, and instant communication, we've become more than a diseased troop of chimps headed for a brawl in the forest; we're an insanely overpowerful superorganism driven by unquenchable lust for exponential growth and armed with millions of years of energy reserves--even nuclear weapons! There's literally nowhere on Earth that we can't or won't go in search of resources or vacation potential.

As much of an atheist as I am, I can't help but feel a pang of spirituality about this, and that pang is, unfortunately, despair for the inhabitants of this green jewel that is being ravaged. And by inhabitants, I'm broad in including all living things, regardless if they are cute or have fangs and spit venom. All those funny animals, frogs, plants, fungi. They got fucked because money.
My point is that all of those things you're talking about are already at full quality in a Logitech C920 for 1080p.

The sensor size, the resolution, the aperture, the optics -- they're all sufficient. There's nothing to improve upon that will yield a measureable difference. There's no distortion, no chromatic abberation, no noise with decent lighting, nothing.

Everything you're talking about matters if you're dealing with low light, or zooming in, or you want depth of field, or 60fps, etc etc etc.

But what precise detail do you claim is better at 1080p with the DSLR? Because from your list, it's not resolution. You don't want a larger aperture because you don't want depth of field on videoconferencing. And "quality optics" means nothing -- if there's already no distortion, no blurring and no aberration at 1080p, then there's no more quality to be found.

It's just the physics of photography and sensors. Photographic equipment is designed around thresholds of quality. If your equipment is already above the threshold you need, even better equipment makes zero difference.
When I worked with CNC machines, one of the most interesting, pretty scary and surprising errors came from a dying CMOS battery. Having only ever dealt with such things in video game carts before, I was unpleasantly surprised when I learned the machines used battery powered RAM to store every single one of their internal settings, as in, if the battery died, it went back to even worse than factory default with literally no way to fix this once the battery died other than to have someone.from Minnesota come and recalibrate the entire machine.

We had about a week according to the error. We made a frantic search with various local suppliers, managed to secure a compatible battery, then I had to go on a hunt for the battery deep inside the console of the machine. Once I popped the battery out, I had two minutes to get the new one in before shit went FUBAR. It was a bit stressful.

Apparently the batteries had about a 7-8 year lifespan, the machine was about 8 years old. Nowhere in the maintenance manuals was it mentioned this may be a problem some day. The only info about this was an obscure error code.

Even the machine manufacturer technical support didn't know what was going on until they brought in one of the more experienced techs to talk to me.
Hello Hacker News, I'm sharing some work I've been doing as a side project. It's an algorithm that attempts to do the impossible -- compress random data. My results seem to indicate that I've succeeded at this task -- but I may be wrong.

Feel free to check out the post and tell me what you think of my methods. It directly attacks the problem in a new way and allows data to be mapped without running into the pigeon hole problem. Again - I may be wrong about this - but I've done my best to verify everything using my small personal cluster and everything seems to add up.

While it's not good, it's not that bad. A lack of biodiversity may, if taken to extremes, limit the variety of things humans have access to. However, even in that case, we should be able to rely on our wind pollinated crops (possibly with more genetic modification, if required) to feed us while we research synthetic alternatives to anything we start to loose access to.
Yep. The very people we elected and who are supposed to answer to us are fleecing the American public. This needs to be investigated further by the SEC.

Well the set of all programs where garbage collectors can be used is smaller than the set of all programs where manual memory management can be used (either done by the compiler or manually by the programmer). This doesn't counter your point completely, but it bears thinking about.
Well I’m a celibate monk like my father, and grandfather before me.
dnsmasq doesn't do authority checks so unfortunately an external cname to a .internal name may not resolve correctly if the upstream server gives back "additional data" containing the A record answer for the target .internal name. On the other hand, we use unbound instead of dnsmasq to solve this at work and it works great. If you just want to forward internal vs everything else differently it's great though.

If you run CoreDNS instead, they have a kubernetes mode of operation where it gives different answers based on the source IP of the query to optimize search domain lookups. So if the node hosting the VMs here did similar, you could solve this pretty easily using CoreDNS with a custom plugin but I don't love putting all my traffic through CoreDNS vs a more mature DNS server.

bind can do split horizon stuff based on source IP so that could be a potential solution, though I'm not sure if it's capable of split horizon forwarders.
> I think autodidacticism is a better way to learn vs academic path.

It often is a better way to learn, but that's not why I suggested going back to school. It doesn't sound like your technical skills are the reason you're not getting a job.

> So, it might be just one of those things that I'll have to suck up and just do.

Most jobs are full of things you have to suck up and do. As long as you work for someone else, sucking up and doing will be a big part of your career.

Oh, and if you start your own business and work for yourself, chances are you'll spend even more time doing tedious stuff - although it depends on your business.

Doing what you want is the domain of the financially independent, and (some) tenured faculty members.
It's definitely experimental. No other language has an established system like this, although Ruby seems to have acquired one in 3.0. We still aren't close to uncovering all the unsolved problems yet, let alone solving said problems.
Lots of great comments. May I point out something obvious though-- the poster has been looking for entry-level work during a horrendous 12 month labor downturn. Maybe it's been a better market for skilled technical positions, but apparently that's not the relevant market here....

I'm going to speculate that maybe the op has crossed a threshold from 'eager' to 'desperate'. That's not helpful to the job search. At this point the poster knows the industry, he probably identified a few quirky opportunities for people with similar resumes get on promising job tracks. Stay close to those, figure out how you can be useful to folks in those spaces and demonstrate it to them. And most importantly-- this is hard-- find enough peace and stability in your current situation so you don't come across as desperate, just eager.
The usual asynchronous stuff like fetching data from two APIs to then prepare the HTML response to the user. Today, it's sequential, which is fine for DB calls to localhost, but less fine with API calls.
I've been making a custom build image in large part because of this. Local testing with Docker isn't the most fun, I have to manually manage the environment variables I pass on the command line, but it's way better than commit then wait for Docker to schedule.

Once it's working locally I push up and it's usually only a commit or two away from working.
Those are very good points. I actually always thought that I am good at detecting dishonesty, but after I fell for a narcicist/sociopath in my last job I am not claiming that any more.
First you should remove "unhireable" from your post and mind...

I'd suggest you apply to small tech company (maybe 2 or 3 people) which doesn't have HR, then stick for years. Accept that most work are boring and doesn't need serious thinking, and spend more times on other non-tech things.
It doesn't have to be this way.

FIG standards are explicitly interoperability standards. They make it easy for anyone to jump into a new company or open source project with minimal friction and minimal bikeshedding.

If you or your team don't care about that and want to do something different, there's nothing stopping you. Even the Symfony team, who contributed to these standards and largely follow them, have gone their own way when they thought it was worth the trade-off.
some highly advanced extinction experiments include large-scale rainforest fragmentation, and the collapse of coral reefs, with accompanied dieback of mangroves and seagrass. These are highly significant because of their advanced progress and the anticipated downstream planetary impact.
Because university and work are completely different environments.

University is very academic, work is very practical.
Apple is the worst offender by wide margin, because their phones are the most expensive ones and have the biggest sales (=production target).

Add the fact that the deadlines on product announcement and shipping are very strict, so the pressure on workers assembling iPhones is the biggest. Stress with assembly of other manufacturers' phones is nowhere near than that of Apple's.

Samsung, I think, assembles phones in Vietnam, where labor conditions are better than in continental china.
You can always say, “I know you can’t give me a specific reason on why I’m being rejected, but can you offer any guidance on how I can do better? Anything you can offer could be helpful.”
For what it's worth, PHP has always been kinda "serverless". You just point the PHP interpreter at a file, and it runs the script contained in the file!
That's some excellent wishful thinking, and I hope you're right. Meanwhile, I've read plenty of articles suggesting that we're likely in for unavoidable and hugely disruptive warming, at the very least, and I don't currently see us globally acting quickly enough.

I've also taken an amateur interest in ecology and the natural sciences, and once you actually learn a bit about the species around you, the loss of habitat and biodiversity we're undergoing becomes a staggeringly obvious fact that most people are just completely oblivious to.
The right way to fix this is to have an integration test that passes on all other implementations but fails on OpenEthereum, and push this fix afterwards.

People are storing and trading billions of dollars on Ethereum, so I think both automated and manual checking is important. Also an integration test for all branches should be able to find these errors.
