Many places use some stupid software that will reject resumes if they don't contain certain keywords. So people stuff their resume with keywords. Interviewers may not have time to ask questions on all the tech (even though they were listed in the job ad), so this might not matter, as far as the interview is concerned.

Once they have the job, they can learn on the job. Obviously this wouldn't work for "big" lies, but for smaller ones, this seems to work out.
95% of workers are considering changing jobs

That seems awfully high unless "I thought about it, but decided to stay here" counts as "considering".

In my peer group, it's probably closer to 20%. It's probably much higher in low paid jobs like service workers, but I imagine that most McDonalds workers consider changing jobs every day even under normal circumstances.
> If someone has decent problem solving and analytical skills, can understand the problem domain and has the capacity to learn a new language/framework/construct in a short period of time (which frankly most of us can, and do with frightening regularity), unless you have something miraculously niche and technical, they're capable of doing the job.

Agreed. And this was how hiring was done up until about 15, 20 years ago. For example, if you knew C++ they figured you could pick up Java. Or if you knew Perl, you could be assumed to be able to pick up Ruby or Python. But in recent years that's not been the case - you mostly get screened out well prior to any human seeing your resume if you don't have all the right buzzwords. Hopefully the tightening job market with companies (supposedly) having trouble finding people will get us back to more sane hiring practices.

"A common misunderstanding about software creation is that code is the desired result." Here here! If I have my product owner hat on I don't give a flip about the code itself; I'm interested in the business value a properly coded application unlocks.
Early 90's Southern California. I was about 15 and had been teaching myself Borland Turbo C++ at home with the SAMS book. At school, there was a room in the Library with about 20 386sx/16's that were used to teach kids... Borland TC++. The teacher? Another student who was good at programming. I didn't know him, but he had a reputation for being egotistical. My friend and I just went in there at lunch to play QBasic games, which I'd modify a bit for more fun.

One day I decided to mess with the egotistical teen teacher. I wrote a little TC++ program that ran from autoexec.bat. On bootup, it put out several seconds of a low frequency buzz from the PC speaker and then printed "Oh, Excuse me! I couldn't contain myself!" and then disappeared. At that point, the autoexec.bat removed the binary and then overwrite the old autoexec.bat over itself, removing any proof.

Nobody could say it was me, but the Librarian knew and said if I did it again I wouldn't be able to go back. But she also said he was really pissed by it and I get the feeling she got a kick out of it, too.
Because if there were some major anomaly someone would have noticed, just like they did 10 minutes after these (unofficial, preliminary) results were published.
If you looks around other comments, people are suggesting alternatives. freetaxusa has my vote. Also I would bet that every town in the country with more than a couple thousand people has an office downtown where someone will file for you and probably charge less than H&R Block would. That doesn't cover all of their products, but certainly in the filing space they are not the only option.

And this is what I hope ReactOS will become one day, in spite of Microsoft's FUD campaigns.
It feels like there are two classes of engineers in the US. One class of engineers makes 60k-120k and the other makes 150k-500k.

Is this just a really well kept secret? I don't really see many engineers trying to migrate from the first class to the second class. I'd expect most software engineers would jump through hoops at the prospect of doubling their salary.
It sounds cool that you create on-demand review app. In a small scale it works. In a larger scale development is absolute impossible due to resource constraints to create on-demand environment for review app.

For instance, in a warehouse automation infrastructure that has 30 devs, working on 8 feature simulataneously, it is next to impossible to create review app with the resources they need.
I've never used customer support (for consumer software) that was actually worthwhile, so not missing much.

Ask HN: How do I get my brother into programming?
My brother is a somewhat hopeless 21-years-old, working in the service industry, who never completed his studies and spent most of his teenage years partying.

I am a software engineer, running a tech startup and earning a top-five-percent salary in my home country.

Here is the thing: I bet my ass my brother has my same IQ (if not higher). He is deep into video games and crazy good at them and a good problem solver in real life. He might be missing purpose/direction and I think programming might be a way out.

What's the best way to introduce him to programming in a way that's not dull and could sparkle his interest?
Counter-counterpoint: that documentation should not exist as comments in the code, but as separate, properly formatted documentation. Yes, there are tools (JavaDoc, Doxygen, etc) which will take specially formatted comments and turn them into standalone documentation. However, in my experience, using those tools did not encourage the sort of documentation you're talking about. The average JavaDoc is an auto-generated stub article that just lists the method name and the names and types of the arguments to the method, which is information my IDE already gives me.
From the people I've talked to, they enjoy the WLB and location of their job enough to not hop.

I use Discord in different browsers to keep separate accounts active at the same time. It works pretty well in Firefox and Edge. Running in the browser also means discord can't snoop on what apps you have installed or what games you're running and report them back to home base which is another plus.
I'm thinking not attacking GS's customers, but using GS's name to attack others. Imagine, if you will, a crypto scam that puts their scam page on a gs.com address, and makes it appear that Goldman Sachs supports and funds the scam, thereby encouraging people to send in their money.

except it reads more like "I could have made that website, grrr I didn't apply for the government contract (or I lost the bid)!"

It could read that and say "by the way Intuit has a history of poor performance"

it doesn't really say they sabotaged it. when I read that headline, I think that their flagship software is miscalculating it. But thats not what this article is about at all.

The article is about how a tax credit has always failed to address the needs of those eligible for the tax credit, and Intuit has only made a small dent in that in a contract that hoped it would make a bigger dent.

People can still have gotten that tax credit for free before, can get it for free after, can use Intuit's poorly crafted free system, or not. They can also use Intuit's paid systems the whole time. The article then points out that Intuit always crafts circumstances to make their paid system the desired path.

The Child Tax Credit is fine, its the people you are worried about.

I know... I know... You are right.

But a simple calculation sometimes is better than a correct long calculation in an online discussion :)

The correct calculation is to ask them "How sure are you that is at lest safe for X% of the persons?" The replies are like

100% sure that it's safe for 90% of the persons.

Also 100% sure that it's safe for 99% of the persons.

97% sure that it's safe for 99.9% of the persons.

93% sure that it's safe for 99.99% of the persons.

87% sure that it's safe for 99.999% of the persons.

Now you take the derivative of the function (or the inverse of the function?), multiply by -1 if necessary and get a gut feeling probability distribution to use to calculate the integral and get the expected values of deaths of using the new version without a clinical trial.

Anyway, you need a lot of 9s, because a FDA approval means almost automatic approval in a lot of countries. There are like 10 vaccines now and 7.000 million people in the word, so my guess that it will be used in 500-100 million people.
Selection bias: those most proud of their offers are most likely to share it on aggregators, is my guess.
my observation is that most companies present offers that are 30% lower than they should be to have a comfortable lifestyle in tech metros and not worry about school, housing or retirement costs. is this deliberate?
I’m 45 and have been working partially remote for 4 years and fully remote since the pandemic. I really enjoy working from home. Spending more time with family and finding a good work/life balance and not having to commute are great perks.

I have recently started a new job and was interviewed and onboarded entirely remote. The process was fine and in the future I am not required to be in the office a lot either.

However I am eager to get into the office to meet the new people, have them at hand to ask questions (not just on teams) and generally assimilate into the team.

The problem with teams and other such tools is that I can’t see if someone is available or not. Their dot might be green, but they might be in the zone or otherwise not easily interruptible. In an office I can see whether or not this is the case.

I’m not keen to work in the office 100% but I am also aware of some of the benefits of being in the office at times. Especially planning meetings etc.

I also don’t think each case suits everyone and IMO flexible location is a good compromise allowing people to work where they would like. Let people come in when they need or for meetings but also let them work from home as they need.
Some of these "in control" managers are just extreme extroverts, who can't comfortably live without a steady stream of victi^W "direct reports" to cater to their weird habits. Instead of simply creating a policy and a monthly report for a trivial daily process easily accomplished by a particular employee, it's so much more satisfying for such a manager to drop in unannounced every day to "supervise". These managers have been stuck at home long enough that all the maids and gardeners have quit and the third spouse has suggested a separation. An omnipresence of such people surely justified the invention of the guillotine...

You’re definitely right, but I was under the impression they exist to generate profit for shareholders, not act as a social service. Capitalism is a system for maximizing value extraction, not altruistic endeavors.
Correct, this what I understand. Before the remote workplace, they were just too comfy in their location to think about locating to the limited tech cities where these salaries are being paid
i tried this method and it useful for remembering passwords/phone #'s but of limited use for studying and understanding languages/math/coding/etc. might be more useful for things like medicine where you have to remember lots of info.

the most effective way i've found to learn and remember is:

1. flashcards with spaced repetition (like anki, etc.)
2. then teaching it to someone (or pretend like you're teaching a class)/implementing it in code
3. solve a challenging problem. this could be trying the harder problems in the textbook and asking for help from the professor or exploring using it in novel ways.
The problem I see is that once the pitchforks come out, society will lose decades of progress. If we're somewhat close to the techno-utopia at the start, we won't be at the end. Who's going to rebuild on the promise that the next generation won't need to work?

Revolutions aren't great at building a sense of real community; there's a good reason that "successful" communist uprisings result in totalitarian monarchies.

What it means for the 0.01% to own the means of production is that they can offer access to privilege in a hierarchical manner. The same technology required for a techno-utopia can be used to implement a techno-dystopia which favors the 0.01% and their 0.1% cronies, and treats the rest of humanity as speedbumps.

That's a weird thing to say considering how lobbying is justified: As the free expression of speech by companies towards their elected representatives. So is limiting corporate speech necessary for a free market? Most free-market backers I've heard would say otherwise.

The problem is that right on your front page I see that the estimated annual comp for a G6 engineer at Google is expected to be $226,673 salary/$212,061 stock/$50,939 bonus. The stock portion, however, includes both brand new offers and those which have benefited from many years of appreciation, making the number effectively meaningless.

Even after digging in, there is no way on the site to restrict it to only new offers.

I personally have not reported my salary on levels.fyi or any similar website because my shares were granted pre-IPO and I don't want to further distort expectations for what an average software engineer is expected to make.
I don’t know what to tell you. A small minority of politicians can prevent progress, and there is little recourse for the rest of us. The buck has to stop somewhere.
I'm completely out of the loop on something like this, but could you in theory apply some kind of ML to identify the end of pages to assist with good page captures?

I must admit I do not understand this part:

> In addition, an antitrust lawsuit filed by state attorneys general claims that Google also favors its own platform by offering automated auctions to optimize bids; an equivalent tool isn’t available to advertisers seeking to book space on Bing. As a result of the moves (or lack thereof), advertisers using Google’s ad platform found it easier to buy ads on Google, not Bing. Other search engines that rely on Bing are also affected, including DuckDuckGo, Yahoo, and Ecosia.

So is the problem that Google won't build something to work with Microsoft's product? Why are they compelled to?
Also, why are state AGs part of an article talking about the companies suing each other?

I think "get a job closer to your home" is a reasonable suggestion, even if that commenter was a bit blunt about it. In my most recent job search I avoided applying to positions that were further than I was willing to commute, even though they're in the same metro area.
Looks to be their authentication layer since existing connections kept working even when new connections couldn't be made.
Intuit is not "big tech". It's not even "tech". If computers and internet were not a thing, Intuit would work mostly the same way - their business is scraping money between citizen and the sate, and lobbying politician into keeping a broken system. That's not tech in any way.

Other "big tech" companies would not even exist.

A CPA takes a risk doing your taxes. They are responsible if something goes wrong. That is probably $400 an hour. If you are paying less than that make sure it’s actually a CPA doing your taxes. There may be a CPA at the firm, but unless they sign and do your taxes you aren’t protected by their liability.
This kind of lobbying is just paid free speech driven by market incentives.

So, yes, having a society-critical service provided by a for-profit market actor, that then uses that money to pay for speech that results in a worse situation for everyone is a market failure.
It's because you take it seriously. Most of our money making culture is fake, it's a role play game of some sort where people make important faces, speak important speeches, buy wooden boxes and moving carts only to see it all turning into dust at the end. From military generals to burger flippers, it's one big costume party. Things that are real exist, but aren't valued in our society - I mean those boring rules given by saints thousands years ago.
> Political note: calls for nationalisation, in American politics, is a gift to the other side.

Perhaps you should rephrase this as "calls for nationalization run counter to my own free-market ideology" rather than a) assuming you know what everybody else thinks, and b) suggesting that conventional wisdom should dictate the bounds of acceptable discourse.

Not to mention, plenty of countries — the US included — have successfully nationalized companies and entire industries.

When Thrill Rides Are Real Risks
In my experience there are three things that often get conflated around software estimates:

1 Effort versus calendar time.

2 Estimate versus commitment.

3 Confidence level - are we talking P50? P99? P100 under some set of assumptions?

I don't think I've ever worked in a setting where everyone shared the same understanding on all of these points.

This looks pretty interesting, I took it for a quick spin. Maybe it's a bit too busy, there seems to be A LOT going on when I did the test data thing, the tour thing helps. That reporting area looks really cool.

Also, I had to disable uBlock Origin to get things to work right.

I like what you're trying to accomplish here, I think you're on to something with the functionality. The look & feel isn't the best (also not terrible), though I'm not a designer by a long shot.
The system sucks because the income gained through dealing with millions of vendors selling literally hundreds of millions of SKUs is channelled into Amazon's profits, rather than people or systems to deal with the resulting problems.
>You’ll never move ahead working for someone else. And I just don’t mean money.

There's plenty of research that says the opposite: namely, that you'll make more and work less if you work for somebody else. The research I found that corroborates your claim doesn't control for the skill-level as the contradictory research does (i.e., it compares highly-educated, highly skilled entrepreneurs to workers across all skill levels).

The most cited research shows that working for someone else will get you 35% more pay after a 10 year period.

You are the extreme outlier. Creators will continue to be on Youtube, and ads will continue to be there.
This might be a cynical take, but in addition the things you typically hear, like improving cashflow and aligning incentives, I think it makes it easier to manage employees out. I.e., if you want to replace someone who it would otherwise be hard to fire, you could start refresher grants late or make them small enough that come year 5, it makes more financial sense for the employee to leave willingly.

Some explanation, in case people aren't familiar with "big N" or FAANG comp schemes: when you get an offer, you're given a "base salary"—somewhere between 100 and 250k unless you're quite senior—a four year RSU (stock) grant with some vesting conditions, and info on typical year-end cash bonuses and RSU refreshers. The annualized four year grant is usually somewhere between 50% and 200% of your base salary, depending on seniority. See levels.fyi for details. A "refresher" is a four year grant given in each of years n, n + 1, n + 2, ..., where n is typically year 2. The refresher is usually a quarter of your initial grant, but companies often given themselves a lot of legroom to adjust this number depending on market conditions, employee performance, etc.

If it works so well and so cheap, why is it rolled out only in the city, and not the whole country? Isn't inaction the worst thing at this point?
I mean, I'll be honest, I make around 50k in a non tech job in a low cost of living area.i really don't want for anything. Maybe I just don't like really expensive toys, but anything I want, I buy. I go on nice vacations in country, plenty of wilderness around me. I don't have to look at receipts or bills before paying them and I never think about my bank account. I'm really totally unsure what making 500k instead would do for me, besides retiring super early.
When I'm on approved and documented vacation time I just quit syncing my work emails and disable push notifications from the chat app. My work machine stays powered off in the bag unless somehow an emergency managed to break in to my life. If for some reason I'm curious about how things are in the office I'll do a manual sync of the email or pop on the chat. No need for a separate device but ultimately the same deal.

This is also a good reason for putting a vacation auto-responder on your email/chat. You then have a documented paper trail that you're not supposed to respond so they can't later argue they thought you were shirking off work.
