Hey,

I'm not a recruiting manager but since I noticed you are a fresher I just wanted to give some tips about your resume, from one dev to another :)

* Move the work Experience and Project part above Skills.

* Right now your resume looks very plain. Try to use a different template for the resume or maybe try learning latex. It would really improve the formatting of the resume.

* In the work experience try to be more descriptive. For example, you wrote the following:

I automate tasks using Python and take care of the test environment

instead of that try to write 2-3 bullet points that will explain all the tech being used and also what "task" you actually automate. So something like the following:

* Automated ABCD which is being used in XYZ, using python
* My automation takes all ABCD and stores in X DB

This may not be the best example but this is just to give you an idea about being a bit descriptive.

* This will completely depend on you but in my opinion having those stars level grading in front of every skill is not the best way to do it. One of the ways I suggest is just to have Skills as an h1 heading and then add multiple h3 headings. Ex:

Skills

- Languages: Python, golang, rust, bash, javascript
- Frameworks: Django, Flask
- Misc: git, heroku

Again this is just a suggestion, if you feel that current representation is the best you can just keep it that way.
The utter lack of customer service options at Google is just one of the reasons to avoid EVER having ANYTHING important to your or your business dependent on them. Maybe they lock you out, maybe they discontinue the service, there's nothing you can do to be sure that won't happen.
C++/WinRT is from 2015.

C++ Oboe SDK for Android was initially released in 2018.

Android Games Developer SDK was just released last month.

What game engines? Lumberyard , Unreal and Godot certainly not.

Vulkan C++ bindings from Khronos or Dawn for WebGPU? Also not.

The only modern C++ I can find in real life are at CppCon and C++Now talks, and books promoting it.

Even Bjarne Stroustroup has recently on a interview mentioned how he is disappointed how C++ Core Guidelines keep being largely ignored by the community.

There is even, yet again, a paper from him trying to advocate for better C++ on the next C++ mailing.
So why would anyone make a package like that?
Can confirm. We were a corporate account spending large 6 digit sums every month on Facebook Business Manager and Facebook randomly stopped campaigns due to intransparent and inaccessible credit line configurations, hurting not just our bottom line but theirs as well, with nobody to turn to in general FBM support.

After lots of escalation through some personal contacts we fortunately had, they switched to a system where they're apparently now using "AI" to determine the credit line every client has dynamically, which doesn't work for us as our campaigns are very big and very short (products that are only relevant for a couple of weeks, but benign, nonpolitical content if you want to ask).

Still nobody can tell us how big the AI thinks our credit limit will be at any given point in time. Finding out who is responsible for anything is a hot mess, and by now we're spending seven digits per month.

But to me, the cream of the crop is how many times we had to escalate to FB to literally beg them to be able to spend our money with them. It's ridiculous.

As someone that worked at the company that taught Pete Hunt, and other early contributors to react this trick, I wouldn't call it a benefit, but the only workable solution to acceptable single page web application performance in an otherwise terrible development environment (browser javascript).

Proper concurrency support and real mutexes would be way better than having a single execution thread for all your computations that is shared with all the visual and human interaction computations. Plus, the data sharing models between the main thread and web workers is pretty crap for anything serious, so it's not even easy to get computations out of the main thread that don't need to be there.

"That explains why Parasite and Money Heist flopped."

It explains why thousands of films, just like 'Parasite' and 'Money Heist' flop, why they are not on Netflix or in theatres, and why you've never heard of them, and why neither Spain nor S. Korea are entertainment powerhouses in film.

KPop however, which is definitely a Korean export, has some strong 'industrial foundations' along the lines of what I'm talking about. It's a real industry there.

Here are 2021 'Canadian Films' - have a gander and see how many you recognize. [1]

> Trying to hire those who are at least interested in learning and using languages like Clojure, Rust, Haskell, Elixir, Elm, etc., is a very good quality filter.

That's not my experience. It doesn't say a whole lot, it just says a person is bored a bit and is confident in his ability to learn new things, you can filter for learning abilities by looking at what the person achieved; doing new stacks is just one metric. Also it's sometimes the type of people who care more about learning/trying new tech on the job than actually helping the business (for exmaple by introducing GraphQL because they read about it in a blog and it looks cool, not because they really think the business needs it).

Really? I certainly have. Several times. And I've been in that situation myself.
So, I think the point you’re missing is that how results are proved is just as important as the existence of a proof (in fact, I’d say it’s often more important). That’s why people are often excited about new proofs of old theorems, and why the Simon’s foundation chose certain problems to be “Millennium Problems” - the techniques developed to solve the problem would, ideally, drive progress in that area of mathematics.

The Poincaré conjecture is interesting because it was a simple statement that ended up being very hard to prove. How someone proved it, and understanding why such an innocuous statement is so difficult to prove, is far more interesting than knowing that the obviously-true-sounding statement is true.
Thank you, it's good to know, but is it supported on mobile apps? I think it's more problem on mobile, because on desktop, mostly Discord can be used in browser so Chrome profile or Firefox container works.
I would say that once you read “the” book on some topic (or a series of such books) and then encounter snippets of the material here and there, you (I) begin to notice how much information is recycled and repackaged for different audiences, or like you say becomes “bleak extract at best, and mostly bullshit at worst.”
The Riot android client would, periodically, require re-signing in.

The certificate issues were more specifically related to Apple devices not liking that an accepted certificate had expired, and a new one had taken its place, and wouldn't even allow for the updated certificate to be "trusted" in place of the expired one. On Android I'd have to accept a new certificate to trust, and it allowed me to do so - although possibly this resulted in the requirement to re-login (and if memory serves, old messages would be unreadable).

These issues may have been of my own making, or may be fixed now, but I've been using Discord happily for a whole now.

P.S. I don't multi-account on Discord (because I didn't know you could), but I do have different names depending on the server context.

Why should that matter? How does the DPI software get your keys? Isn't WireGuard data flow completely opaque to anyone or anything between endpoints?

If the DPI software blocks WireGuard packets, that's an entirely different discussion. It gets into the area of "technical solutions" to fight "administrative policy".

We all have different needs due to having different personalities. I need to be careful that I don’t get into a “checking things off my list” mode, as sometimes I’m feverishly doing trivial things on that list to keep myself feeling busy and distracted from what are one or two important but difficult things to work on.

So one heuristic I do is is try to start my day setting my “intentions” — identifying a handful of things on the list I would be pleased to have finished by days end even if absolutely nothing else on the list is touched.

In the case of the Phoenix project, you may be misattributing what were references to Goldratt’s The Goal (almost certainly if the book is outside the technology space). Really the reference is to the underlying model, Theory of Constraints in that case. Could be happening for other examples where the book/author isn’t the primary reference.
> My IDE can't highlight that this is wrong because it's not code and is just a string

Code is just a string too, treating the 'code' inside the string literals after the v-for is just an extra level of syntax handling - The IDE I use (Intellij) can handle it just fine.

What is the name of the cold calling service, for research purposes.
I'm all ears (sincerely), but any solution you offer needs to be effective at resolving the problems a company has created for me. I'm also happy to try other less-nuclear options first before I bust out the big guns. As I said, I don't start with this approach. In fact, I resorted to it out of necessity as the clerical mistake of one fortune 500 company was going to personally cost me more than $275k over 30 years. I spent several months and dozens of hours trying to resolve the issue. That one company burnt out all the patience I had for a lifetime. Necessity was the mother of this invention.

I give companies a fair chance to do things right. I said two shots, but my actual heuristic is when a problem starts costing me 4 figures if I were billing for my time instead. Usually that's about two significantly frustrating customer service interactions with long wait times.

Just today I had to call customer service for an airline and the wait times were over 4 hours! I ended up getting around the wait time by calling their customer support number in another language I speak and being able to resolve the problem without hassle. But there is no planet where 4 hours wait times are acceptable and I feel bad for those whose only option was to call their English-only customer support number.

> … optimized collective outcome of our individual choices.…

> …will be the result of each person's optimized individuality."…

Where did this optimize come from? Just because I think that individuals don't have to place the burdens of society on its shoulders, doesn't mean that people cannot willingly chose to if they want to or feel compelled to for lack of other options. But just because people decide to make whatever choices they make, doesn't mean that it will result in an optimized outcome… whatever happens from t0 to t1 will just be an outcome…

I'm not going to fool myself to think that whatever collective action can be taken, for any goals, will automatically make it optimized for any particular outcome that can be determined ahead of time with 100% certainty (or anything even close to 100%, or even understood by everyone ahead of time).

> When the dollar collapses, it will be the working poor and marginalized people affected most.

These people have always felt the brunt of the worst any society has to offer throughout history, just because you want to do something about it for whatever reason, lofty idealized pie in the sky or not, the likelihood of that changing from one system to another seems pretty low.

And I say that as someone who feels marginalized by the current centralized through global TBTF banking/corporate order and is actively building decentralized systems (have nearly all of my "money"/"store of value"/whatever in these decentralized systems and not the TBTF bailoutistan ones). I'm not going to pretend that the ills that have plagued society throughout history are just magically going to go away just because there are uncollateralized and decentralized stablecoins for people to transact value in. Nor will I pretend that people who think "central" banks are central or think they have a monopoly on what value can be denominated and transacted in will have the same calling as I to work on such things.

The problem with color laser printers (at least from Brother) is that the lifespan of a bunch of the parts is quite a bit lower than for the mono printers (lower as in 1/4 to 1/3 the life), and in some cases you need to replace them in sets of 4.

My home color laser came from a client that replaced it with a mono multifunction - they rarely used color, but it was overdue for replacement of all 4 color drums and leaves a streak down the very edge of the paper. Replacing the parts just didn't make sense, so it got "recycled" to me instead.

It's just ridiculous that you need to go through all this palava and reverse engineering to use standard methods to control something as basic as a monitor.

I enjoyed the article though.
Wow that is indeed horrible. In Japan anything under 3k USD (30万円）would be discounted instantly and thus not count towards the capital tax. Furthermore there is a 15K USD （１５０万円）cliff below which no capital is levied but reporting is still required.

Reporting down to the pen sounds horrible, and uncompetitive if other counties do not levy the same.
My first reading as a native speaker was that "the algorithm" meant "the Man". But after several readings, I think he meant that this algorithm would categorize someone who was legally considered less than a citizen as a more likely recidivist. Which is an interesting point. Particularly in the US where there's a notion of illegal immigrants having already broken the law. Would this algorithm consider them to be more likely to be repeat offenders if it were weighted to treat noncitizenship as a factor, or overstaying a visa as a crime? And if so, then why wouldn't it weight slaves as more likely to reoffend. And if it did that, what would stop it from weighting the descendants of slaves the aame way?

Yes, I'm in the same boat. I often interview people who should not be labelling themselves as developers. I think this is just a reflection of the oversaturation of this market. The answer to everyone's problem seems to be "learn to code". But what % of those people actually have an aptitude for coding or a desire for it.

Setting up two likely scenarios is a very reasonable way of approaching future development, both scenarios sound likely to me.

We could look at the flu for clues, in that case every year will have one or more variants that are the most prominent.

I'd argue that in the age category with the most infected (10-29 years old) in the UK, that these people are not killing themselves due to their young age.

And the elderly have already gotten the vaccine and are thus up to eight times more likely to not get infected.
As someone who hates making frequent grocery trips and drinks milk too intermittently to ever finish a normal bottle before it goes bad, I highly recommend buying UHT (Ultra High Temperature) pasteurized milk which does actually often have 3+ week shelf life. In the US, typically the organic brands are all UHT since they often come from farther away and need longer shelf life, but some of the cheap brands like Hood also do it.
