I’ve barely written code in over a year, and haven’t done any significant greenfield work my whole career. The work I have done has been mostly in legacy or obsolete technologies, and by that I mean mostly old version of stuff that’s still out there.

There are heaps of legacy code out there needing to be maintained, and it seems like all the cool kids just want to do green field dev because fixing somebody else's insane code isn't "fun". You're likely more qualified than you think, you just need to market your strengths.
Maybe it's not possible if you try to mash everything together; recurring tasks are not the same as once-off tasks etc. That's why I'm okay with using multiple solutions.
> it would be really hard to separate pure curiosity from something serious

Not for a prosecutor. Anything at all that could be used to paint you in a bad light? "serious".
This looks like it could be really useful with a bit of work. Right now it misses context though. It might be great with certain threads like book recommendations.
Yes, definitely
If 99% of spam/abuse came from one location, and it wasn't a place I offered a service to at all, I could use something like Cloudflare to restrict their access.
> DRM is a threat to society as we're taking things that the world could otherwise have for free

But someone needs to pay to create those things in the first place. Payment for work after the fact is the basic incentive.
Because people get pissed if you tell them that since they forgot their password the photos of their kids are gone.
Afterpay aren't really a payments processor in the typical sense though, their business model is nothing short of genius tbh. They've set up a non-traditional 2-sided market connecting consumers + merchants, allow consumers to pay the MERCHANTS back over 4 installments and collect a 5% fee on the way through as well as any late fees (remember they're not taking on the risk here either)
Hopefully it is patentable so that the average person will get to benefit from that which this discovery enables.
Bluetooth keys refers to headphones only - not bluetooth in general
You should go for it anyways! Like the article says, people are desperate for talent! People are skipping technical interviews, offering immediate remote opportunities, and are willing to teach the skills required as long as you have some previous experience and work hard
> Apple said ... that Unjected encouraged users to avoid using certain words to avoid detection.

The first rule of censorship is: Anyone who opposes the censors will be censored.

> a review by Google Play ... found it hadn’t sufficiently policed user-generated content for misinformation.

Did no one stop to think that the presence of the words "policed" and "misinformation" together like this indicate that they have built something analogous to a "Ministry of Truth"?
Your strategy to "improve hiring" is a dick move. You are just wasting the time of those candidates for... what? Really disrespectful.

Also, your experience indicates that you are only applying to a specific kind of company - FAANG, or a company just about to IPO or a certain type of venture-backed startup. The job market is much bigger than these companies, and there is a lot more diversity to interviews than your post suggests.
Are you kidding? Poor people of course cannot handle credit, because they don't have the cashflow or savings to prevent the use of credit in disadvantageous situations. I am not saying poor people shouldn't have credit, I am saying credit is most destructive for poorer people, and so any service that targets that market is exploitative of their misfortune.
OK, so female athletes have to win the game and give the male viewers a hardon? I don’t consider that “working” either.
I don't think it's bad luck. I think it's Apple not caring about how long their products last or how robust they are. Many of these issues are well known and reported but rarely unchanged between models.

I simply gave my own personal experience, stated as such, and am heavily downvoted, so it's hard to believe Apple cult followers about anything regarding their products.

Apple is devilishly brilliant at marketing.

If Facebook recruiters are using their data, they will just stop adding the parent on interviews for candidates they are excited about.
I mean, if we only had plain old HTML for websites, all these people writing web applications would just be writing desktop applications. The complexity of the problems being solved wouldn't change, and it would basically be the same hell of large projects being done by large teams with little in the way of planning.

The main difference would be that nothing would run on OS X or Linux, because it would be too costly to support. Microsoft would have 99.9% of the OS market, and it would cost $300 a month to have a license. (Remember when you couldn't do online banking on Linux because they all used ActiveX? I remember.)

Basically, the field of software engineering wouldn't be any different. There would be different winners and we probably wouldn't have phones. But you'd still be using slow, confusing, crappy UIs, because that is the human condition. The programming language / platform wouldn't change any of that.
> this is the way the internet works

Eh, gotta call this out. The Internet is designed on an end-to-end principle, and at each layer the endpoints are expected to mediate behaviour via protocols.

By this architectural standard, middleboxes (including all HTTP proxies and CDNs and what have you) are kludges. They are not "how the internet works", they are the antithesis, they are symptoms of emergent pathology. These are barriers to federation and distributed systems, both enabling and enabled by centralizing forces that divert individual autonomy & value to institutional & commercial interest. They are evidence for Further Research & Development Required, and my belief is we'll eventually solve these problems at the end-to-end protocol level.

As for Cloudflare, particularly, their business strategy is to drive down the marginal cost of their own bandwidth, for use in revenue-bearing services such as DDoS mitigation. Every service provided for "free" (some of which, at the free tier, will increase your site latency and lower your visitor count, by the way) works to increase their volumes for use as leverage in peering negotiations. As ever, "free" = "you are the product".

Pay NZ$20/mo for Netflix in UHD, or fuck around on pirate sites to make sure none of the people making the series and films I'm enjoying, while hoping that no-one has dropped an entertaining payload in the site ads or the files I'm downloading is "piracy is more convenient"?

The downvotes are for a shit take disconnected from the reality of people who aren't determined not to pay for something.
A walled garden for every OS.

MacOS and iOS apps will need to be written in Swift, so you better hope all devs know Swift and have Macs to write code in.

Windows Apps will need to be written in... uh, C#? Good like finding as many devs for that as there are currently for JS.
are you certain that "lack of communication skills" == "your accent is hard to understand"?

other than that, i recommend watching English-speaking news, reading up on enunciation, copying what you hear, recording your voice and comparing it to what you're repeating, etc.

Repeat, repeat, repeat.
IoT devices effectively run on microcontrollers and their security is usually even worse than PC class hardware/software. :P
I think the problem is the focus on data science. Companies are realizing that their money is better spent on software engineers rather than data scientists, especially now that data science has effectively been "democratized".
> why should they have to?

This has been one of the driving motivations behind literally every job change I've gone through since I started working in the software field.
Might make it easier to dispatch on both the object and the action? Just a wild guess.
That's a pretty uncharitable nitpick. I think we all knew what the parent meant.
I may have hit reply on the wrong comment there. Sorry.
Why do I need cite sources? I'm not here to teach you basic chemistry. It is neither remarkable nor controversial that that nearly all of the materials within a lithium ion battery are very highly recyclable—infinitely recyclable with respect to metals such as nickel, cobalt, lithium, and copper. Redwood Materials are already recycling 20,000 tonnes per year, including production scrap from the Panasonic-Tesla factory in Nevada, with recovery rates currently between 95 and 98 percent.

The only missing piece to achieving scale is a pipeline of recyclable material; this will obviously exist once electric cars begin to age out in sufficient quantity.
> Mitigation means to reduce something [...] mitigating impacts isn’t (solving/*reducing*)

I don't really understand what you're getting at, it seems you're contradicting yourself?

Mitigating the painful impact of climate change to humanity is what we care about. What we need are solutions that can help with that. What about this do you disagree?

Edit: Not sure, but after rereading you I think you're thinking by mitigating impact I somehow exclude options of the solution space that would be able to reverse, halt or slow down the change of climate? If so, I am not, stopping the change on climate or controlling how it changes in ways that reduce the negative impact of the current change in climate are definitely valid solutions if they can be implemented and work and have the right trade offs against others etc.
Although I too am no cryptographer, I believe there is an additional constraint where the public exponent needs to be small. Also the paper I read says these conditions can lead to discovery of the key in "polynomial time" which doesn't necessarily mean fast.

If you think even basic websites/web-apps can replicate even 60% of their full functionality without JS, you are terribly mistaken. JS lets you do way more things than <form> lets you do.
>"This proposition is false."

What about "this proposition is true"? Does it have a truth value?

If "this proposition is true" is true, then it's true. But if "this proposition is true" is false, then it's false.

It's self consistent whether it's true or false, but there's no way to determine if it is true or false.

I've been wondering what the formal name is for this kind of statement; surely it's not a paradox. Searching for "the opposite of a paradox" is apparently not the right query.

I feel like there's something questionable going on with the word "is" in either statement.

Honestly I'd really like something like this even for regular application development. I think it would be a good idea though to keep a backup branch for compactions in case you want the previous history right after compacting.

>we're taking things that the world could otherwise have for free and denying it them so we can instead charge a small % for it

Are we? Where are the studios making feature-length movie-quality content and putting it on YouTube to be supported by ad money? There isn't even an equivalent to TV in that form factor. All of the new content that requires any sort of production budget (actor salaries, non-trivial special effects) is on platforms with subscription fees and DRM to require those subscription fees because we can't have these things for free.
I play a lot of these games. I expected this to be yet another boring one, and before I realize it I've spent half an hour on it. It's great! I'm not sure what you can add to it. It's almost perfect as it is, with the countdown and the way tiles are replaced. The animation and the way words are linked are nice. Maybe a timer free zen mode would be good, so I could play it with my kids.

> Training people is more expensive than hiring a senior dev for the simple fact that you have to use a senior dev's time to train the new person anyways.

For the first N months, sure, but then, you have a senior and a trained junior, who is hopefully on their way to being a mid. So it's less of an expense and more of an investment in my eyes.

But like any upfront investment, there is a time when the costs outweigh the benefits, especially in the early days.
Anyone have reliable stats on the availability of unfiltered internet access to the people’s distant from 1st world urban concentrations?
If you look at interest rates from 1990 to now, and average household debt, it's easy to see why the economy has been up up up up. People have been spending way more money than they make for 30 years in Australia. That will make any economy boom.

The difficult thing is... when does it stop? The above could have been said 10 years ago, just replace the 3 with a 2. Should it have stopped then? Now? In 10 more years?
I use todo app to help remember the tasks and their details.

I understand human brain's capability to forget things from a little bit of details (sometimes key details) to the "entry" itself (Don't even know that a thing is forgotten).

There are many things that should be remembered/reminded via technology, especially things that can become disasters when not done regularly (e.g. paying credit card debt, backup data, etc).

I use Todoist but you are free to choose whatever you like. Even a notes app or paper notebooks.

I think it's good to have the following features for the app/method you choose:

* Recurring Tasks (every month, every 3rd Sat)

* Task Tagging and/or categorization

* Searching (seriously what method doesn't have this except paper notebooks?)

* Sub tasks (but this depends on how you use it)

* Attachments (for small files/images)

* Commenting (extra details/logs)

Edit: Formatting
There’s nothing about capitalism that prevents, or is anathema to companies, organisations or individuals from collaborating or pooling resources. Communism is a specific political and economic system with explicit and deliberately coercive communalising policies. It doesn’t have a monopoly on community forming or coordinated community action or the pooling of community resources though.
> My merchant account is cheap (interchange plus 0.1% or so) and the gateway they set me up on is Authorize.net

It's crazy most people don't know you can get this. Seems like every popular merchant account provider is a bad deal in comparison.

For those curious, you get it from banks. Open a company account at a major conventional bank then ask them for a merchant account. The default they offer you is interchange + 0.2% or so. Many debit cards have an interchange rate of about 1%. When you pay 30 cents + 3% or 2.9% or whatever you're sortof being screwed.
> He's right: there is so little time to work out because it takes 1hr to work out and 1hr to travel/clean up:

Then do shorter workouts (a 30 minute workout is still good), kill travel (workout at, or if its by running/biking starting/ending at) home. Merge cleanup: do it before your morning shower.

> $15/month for one TV channel (Disney+)

Disney+ (or other major atreaming service) isn't really comparable to one TV channel; each is more comparable to the whole stable of channels available from a single media megacorp (and often bigger megacorps than a decade ago, because mergers.)

This is a wonderfully detailed page.

It makes me wonder if a formal naming process is also possible, given that origami is a largely linear, and well defined process.

You'd start with a prefix which denotes the shape of the paper (square or aspect ratio). Then lists the required transforms in order. There would be some ambiguity as order of certain transformations might not be critical. Perhaps you could develop standard notation there.

I see that there appears to be some academic software for modeling origami structures. So I assume this problem must have been addressed to some extent:

I wish jq could be used in Python. It would be so nice. Imagine writing a simple jq string and running that, rather than writing complicated loops for examining json data.

It does exist as a library for Python, but unfortunately it links to jq’s C library. That means if I use it, then whoever uses my program has to compile C code whenever they pip install my program. I’m unwilling to do that, because history shows that as t approaches infinity, the chance of C code failing to compile during a pip install approaches 100%.

If anyone’s looking for a challenge, please implement all of jq’s logic in pure Python. It would be so wonderful…
@burlesona said it well, and I'll make a stronger statement: my kids gave my life meaning far beyond what it had before. Everything I do, and the way it do it, changed for the better, even though my parenting itself has often come up short.

Be excited, and don't worry about the tradeoffs. For me, they weren't tradeoffs at all given the magnitude of the reward.

The null hypothesis is that parasite load will increase until the organism can no longer bear it. Freeloading will increase to the point of institutional collapse. Both people and systems need immune systems to survive.

"Our mission is to ensure the Internet is a global public resource, open and accessible to all. An Internet that truly puts people first, where individuals can shape their own experience and are empowered, safe and independent."

The production costs in music are orders of magnitude lower than those for video. It takes far fewer people far fewer days to record a song than a TV show or a movie. The equipment involved in recording, mixing, and special effects are all dramatically cheaper, which also makes the entire process more accessible and enables scales that do not exist for most media.

A business model for one thing does not generalize.
Proving a Category Theory Theorem with Rust and Egraphs
Nineteen Eighty-Four analogies aside, this article shouldn't be surprising to anyone who is critical of the walled-garden ecosystems of Apple, Google, et al.

The bottom line is that these companies currently have a right to censor any app or developer - and by extension any user - as they please so long as the offender can be painted as violating a broad guideline.

"“We’ve had to walk a censorship tightrope,” co-founder Shelby Thomson said. Unjected removed the social feed to get back in compliance on Google Play but Thomson said she plans to restore it, along with the flagged posts, and hopes to “stay under the radar.”"

These days if you want to build an app with a social feed you're better off making it a web application, unless you enjoy walking such tightropes and risking all that you've built.
