It's not disqualificstion that matters. It's about selling yourself as more valuable than everyone else in the stack.

And to top that off its also about increasing the perceived dollar value that comes attached.

I don't know why anyone would pass up the chance to add 10k to their salary because they decided a cover letter wasn't cool.

If I have a chance to prove to you I'm professional, diligent, and willing to out effort into your company, I'm going to take it every time.
they are killing each other, you know my god is better than yours.
I also see it as a huge vehicle for hiring discrimination.

Introverted? Neurodiverse? Ugly? Differently abled? Have a regional accent? Too bad, your video resume is disqualified for not being as “good” as the charismatic member of the cultural/ethnic majority.

I think it’s especially important for employers to make their evaluations as blind as they can be for as long as possible, including things like removing names from resumes before presenting them to hiring managers.

In my view this is an incredibly lazy way for TikTok to launch a new revenue stream while engaging in a bare minimum amount of product development. They see how LinkedIn can charge a hundred bucks a month to recruiters and they want in.
Gold is usually considered a harbor from inflation. Generally, inflation is considered a rise of the value of assets, so shielding from it is logical to be buying assets that can persist for long time and whose value will therefore increase over time.

> My eyebrows would be a little raised. Not that I would call them out in a tweet, but I would at least be curious where that guy is spending his time.

It is one thing to raise the issue in private with "Project A", another thing is to tweet this to thousands of followers. Especially after "Project A" already had resolved the issue on its own.
Yes its not that large if you work for some enterprise in midwest. I have mid career friends in bay area pulling in 500k tc in the bay area. This is next to impossible in europe and certainly not a possibility for average engineer.
Large chunks of meat are best done by temp. A brisket, for example, can look the same if the internal temp is at 150 vs 210. One is pretty much inedible. Same for large chunks of pork. You want to cook these to where they are tender, but not dry. For brisket, that is normally around 203-210 when measured at the largest part of the flat. You would just be completely guessing without a good thermometer.

I don't think this will be the primary way most companies take applications. I think it may be a short-term, alternative method of applying to a job where the less volume is more likely to get you noticed.

However, I'd bet companies will be more averse to this due to the fact you get a video of someone initially, rather than their resume, so it may make it easier to employers to quietly discriminate or unconsciously discriminate.
Well, being a proprietary data hoarder, Discord itself is already harmful to all users - so at least they're consistent.

I agree. I was diagnosed with high-functioning autism when I was younger, and assumed that autism referred to people fairly similar to me.

Then my daughter was born. She's extremely low-functioning with only basic non-verbal communication (pulling me to the door means "let's go outside"; pulling me to the kitchen means "I'm hungry"). We've done PECS boards, AAC devices, ASL, etc, and she'll use them occasionally but they frustrate her. She has almost no instinct of self-preservation and a fascination with water, so will eagerly jump into a body of water if she has the chance; likewise when we go for a walk she doesn't understand that she can't just run out into traffic. Screaming and self-injury are constant and extreme.

Which is to say that I don't think she and I have the same condition. Maybe there's a common genetic basis, but her quality of life is unimaginably worse. I get annoyed often by the 'disability advocates' who more resemble me and want to speak for people like her.

> adding two int16_t together to get a int16_t in return is really hard

Because the first thing people will do is:

int16_t a, b;
a = (int16_t) ((b * 157) >> 12);

and then if b * 157 doesn't promote to 32-bit it overflows in the negative and then the code is incorrect.

Absolutely not a distinction without a difference. "Less than 10%" implies, in the vernacular, that they didn't have confidence stating another round bound. That almost certainly it is greater than 1%, probably greater than 2%, and there's a good chance it's greater than 5%. That's how folks read numbers like this. And then they will correctly conclude they should not listen to the CDC because the CDC's numbers seem made up.

If you need more nuance to avoid miscommunicating but you do not give it, you have miscommunicated.
Just want to say that Prompt 2 is the best terminal app on iOS. I love Panic products and am curious about how good Nova has gotten.
Not my idea, but: expanding all values used in expressions to "native word size" (e.g. int64_t on modern machines), and only treat "bit width" and "signedness" as load/store attributes doesn't seem like such a bad idea.

The problem seems to be that (AFAIK) C stopped at 32-bit integers.

It had manually encoded ROM in the form of "core rope memory", which is pretty wacky, but it was a digital computer. In fact, it was the first IC computer.

Assuming a TikTok-typical video length of one minute, you can watch 1000 videos in about 16 hours, or two work days.

Of course that's a rough first estimation. Most videos wouldn't be watched to the end, but on the other hand additional time is needed for reflection on noteworthy candidates, and for reaching out. But overall I don't see the need for automation here.
> Sounds like he did not do so great job here either.

The original article notes that funding took a hit in 2020. 2020 was an unprecedented year for any number of reasons. To simply say someone did a poor job fundraising in a year beset by constant challenges everywhere lacks proper context.

That's not to say more could have been done; I don't feel, however, that I'm in a position to say. Making money on open source is a difficult enough prospect regardless how one does it without also considering other factors that increase that difficulty.

Yup. I wrestled in high school and college and very much destroyed my body. I lifted for years after in a way that wasnt helpful either. Now I'm getting close to 30 and I have found ways to exercise that are actually rewarding rather than mostly taxing on my body but man do I wish someone would have showed me this when I was in my 20's.

And told me that pain was actually a good indicator that one is pushing too hard with exercise.
I bought a sol-ark inverter so I could DIY the battery. The inverter can be both a bms and charge controller so it saves on additional hardware. I can hook LFP up to it (current system) or in the winter use flooded lead acid. The goal was a minimum battery necessary to use the solar power during the day (solar systems typically need a battery in order to produce power without the grid)
What I took from the article is that it's useful when combined with type inference. So in Zig you could do:

var x : u8 = 5;
var y = @as(u32, x);

OR

var x : u8 = 5;
var y : u32 = x;

The cast is needed in the first case to force the inference y: u32, otherwise it would be y: u8
Ah. That's my bad. Re-reading, and that makes more sense. Apologies for taking such a hostile interpretation.
Hiring people based on charisma and ability to charm within short video clips might make sense if the position involves performing, recording videos, or pitching to people.

However, this seems like a step backwards in an era where savvy companies are going out of their way to avoid any appearance of hiring bias. When companies are going so far as to strip names from resumes, asking candidates to perform on video doesn’t sound like a good idea.

I'm also wondering whether SwiftNIO will be rewritten to use actors, or it will stay "old-school" for the sake of efficiency. Very much looking forward to Swift maturing for backend development either way.

It's an amazing, rich language with the only drawback of the compiler being shamefully slow (though it's probably not that bad on Linux, where there are no legacy ObjC frameworks). Other than that, I love the idea of having an ARC-based modern type-safe language on the backend, possibly with the new concurrency model being at the core of the network framework.

Really? Maybe that sort of money is available in Sydney. I never saw anything close to that level in Melbourne, particularly for a mid level developer. I've had to move to the US to make a decent wage.
If I was hiring I would prioritize someone who took the time out of their day to have a 60 second pitch than someone who just has a resume. There is no automated way to have someone parse through the videos because the point is to get a sense of who they are through the video which might be hard to get a face to face interview. Reading the article the jobs board would have the ability to add a TikTok video to your submission (although I guess you could this already through an unlisted YouTube video but then the selling point for this would be to make that process easier).

I'd like to think that, but this kind of rhetoric is becoming more and more common. People will utilize wild hyperbole, stretch the meaning of words, and declare that people are being harmed or oppressed as a call to action. I mean, at the end of the day this is about a user interface on a messaging app. But the post makes it sound like there is some willful negligence that borders on criminality.

But in a twisted way, maybe this kind of argument works. We are talking about it after-all.
Something I think would be cool for a tool like this is to export code in various languages. Work out your algorithm in more "mathy" tool, but then spit out plain C#/F#/Python/Javascript to implement it in an app. Definitely a niche need, but I've had times where I think this would save a ton of time. This could also be useful where you have engineers who need to work similar to what the video shows, but then coders who need to implement in business software etc.

I still remember reading all the Readers Digest books my mom gave me to read in the 90s that were from the 70s. The amount of excitement in these articles about colonies all around the solar system in the early 2000s captivated me. While reality proofed all of these predictions wrong the current Starship development brings back these fond memories and the exciting outlook on unparalleled developments in space in the somewhat near future.
Sure, that use case can easily be satisfied. For digital wall art, we'd need to use a different model LCD panel which has a very small bezel all around (approx. 0.125in)
Great question. I am not too familiar with Constantinople's waterworks (I've been reading mostly about Rome itself). Off the top of my head, could be related to exactly where the aqueducts were built or placed. Parts may or may not be easily accessible, or underground in areas. Besiegers would also have to know they are there, since it wasn't as easy to google as it is now a days.

Quick search though shows that it had been cut during at least one siege: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Constantinople_(626). The key is that you don't have to destroy the entire structure during a siege too, you just have to break ti enough that water doesn't flow through anymore.
While reason.tv is Libertarian, the historical context of this change in voting has more to do with the Reform party (mentioned in passing in the video).

It had greatest success on the national stage with outsider candidates (Ross Perot and early Trump). Libertarians tend to prefer candidates who cannot act, rather than nonpartisans, so what’s interesting about this interview is that the Reform party disagrees —- it sees the California district elections heading toward coalition governance.
I'm generally unemployed at the time. So it becomes my full time job.

Generally when I look for a new job it's about two solid weeks of applying for jobs, two solid weeks of interviews, a week of negotiation and bidding.

The only job I had where I didn't have at least 5 companies trying to outbid each other was my first.

I'm not special, I'm not even a good developer. I just know how to convey my worth in a way people understand, I'm also honest enough that people trust me relatively easily.

I agree. We're inundated with wellbeing emails and events, and while I appreciate the effort, it is just a token as only the lucky few with spare time can go to these things. When the balance is way off, taking more time for such meetings feel like a distraction rather than a fix. What was great was one Friday off per month, for the last year. It was just so nice to have a 3 day weekend so reguarly.

That’s not a killer use case. Y’all keep saying it is, but it’s not.
Not OP, but I think what was meant is identifying a vaccine that targets proteins(s) on the surface of the virus rather than only the little "spikes" that protrude from it. Early vaccine development latched onto the idea that the spike proteins are critical to the virus' ability to infect humans, so mutations would likely/hopefully/maybe make the virus less dangerous to humans anyway.

But, it would be ideal if we could also find proteins on the surface of virus that are less likely to mutate (than other proteins in the virus) that we could teach our immune systems to look for.

It's more like calling a Dell an Intel. Intel arguably provided the most important R&D in the heart of the computer.

> With Tesla this car had supercharger access turned off and he could not get replacement parts to fix the car.

This is a little disingenuous. It was a wreck, literally. It was a flooded car that the insurance had written off and sold as scrap. You'd never get manufacturer support for a BMW in the same circumstance either. Scrap is scrap.

That you can buy a car body and do a cool hack isn't a moral lesson about the business model attached to the car the part was taken from.

What your comment and all the others here saying that on country X this is a very good salary for a "median" senior engineer is missing, is that the average senior engineer has no clue on how to maintain Babel.

Most people in the software industry (including senior engineers) are doing CRUD work, you got a web dashboard that calls an API that then insert or retrieve content from the database, you got a simple `if` condition or a `for` loop here and there, and that's it. Compare this to creating a compiler, the difficulty is on another level of magnitude.

I made the mistake of giving too many companies my email address when those stupid black-the-page popups come up asking for my email. I am in the process of unsubscribing from every one of those emails; there is usually a small “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of them, and they are usually pretty good about honoring unsubscription requests.

These days, I disable Javascript on any site which has the audacity to put a popup in the middle of the page as I am reading it. Any site with is not readable without Javascript is one I leave and don’t go back to.

The kinds of sleazy outfits which do not honor unsubscribes are the kinds of places email providers are really good about black listing.

I was looking at some old notes the other day and remembering that I had made a plan for going the other direction, of slaving other devices to my IDE for faster round tripping of UI development.

That’s a very heterogenous example, but at some point we will be discussing personal clouds, where people have a little cluster of commodity/older ARM hardware that they balance a bunch of services across.

For example, you can download the server part of Don’t Starve Together as a separate app that you can then leave running even if you log off. That should be the standard for coop games, and probably for multiplayer games in general.

We are also overdue for a rethink of CI/CD pipelines, and I don’t mean As A Service.
