Yeah, this should be a top comment. You shouldn't care so much about the hourly. You should care tremendously about how the contract contributes to your annual revenue.

I've made more off $100/hr engagements than I've seen orgs make at $175/hr, which are both entirely tame hourly rates. In today's market, there's no reason to go lower than $100/hr, IMO.

After that, you're squarely in Upwork or so territory.

I'm just explaining what worked for me- I'm in Raleigh NC, so there were no FANGs here a year and half ago when I was in the market. But I did secure offers at the two biggest tech companies in the area, IBM and Cisco.

I had no open source contributions, no hack-a-thons, and no side projects with users. No experience or internships whatsoever, I had work experience in the service industry that I didn't put on my resume. GPA barely above a 3

All I had were side projects on github, listed prominently on my resume, that showcased skills. My side projects were all toy projects- things like a tiny Go API with a dockerfile and Kubernetes YAMLs, an arduino project that creates a CSV based on inputs from a GPS sensor, etc.

When my interviews went well, it was because I had demonstrable expertise in Kubernetes

Bad doctor is relative. I expect that most doctors who have pass through that gauntlet can pass the doctor equivalent of fizzbuzz, which already is a lot different than our industry.
The effective range of active sonar varies tremendously based on many factors: power output, microphone sensitivity, signal processing, bottom contour, water temperature, ambient noise, etc. There is no typical range. Aircraft can drop active sonobuoys but they're very expensive and in limited supply. Use of active sonar is restricted in many areas due to impact on marine life.

Water blocks all radio traffic except for extremely low frequency. The bandwidth on that is too low to use as an effective navigation aid, and transmissions can only be sent from large facilities on land. Some submarines can also send up floating antennas on towed buoys but they prefer not to do so due to the risks of detection and entanglement.

Here in Ontario, Canada, the speed limit inside cities is usually 50km/h with school zones being 40 km/h.

We're just recently dropping speed limits in suburbs and more urban areas to 40 km/h and those school zones to 30 km/h.

I'm almost certain 4-10km/h is slower than idle in first gear in my manual diesel. That sounds painful, to be honest.
Assuming B29 is a series of measurements, this is the right solution in my opinion. The challenge is the cost of measuring and tagging every item after production. The relationship to model out is cost of pre-measuring every garment vs cost of returns. If you could dramatically lower your return rate you may be able to be more profitable measuring every garment. But... even measuring successfully presents challenges.

Going in to a store would seem absolutely insane if you could just order tons of stuff in your size and it all fits and you would not have to make returns.
Since this is aimed at online, it's probably aimed at casino style ones.

These measures are counterproductive. It's time to divorce the life of the vaccinated people from the non-vaccinated ones.

Even if the vaccine was dangerous (which it isn't) then it's even more necessary to reward those who did face the peril and got the jab.

Instead these rational/brave people are at the mercy and held hostage by the irrational/cowards .

If you got the jab you should be able to travel. Full stop.

FWIW I get tons of Remarkable ads as well and I don't own a Remarkable, so it just means they're NOT differentiating between you and me. If they did differentiate on the basis that you have a Remarkable then that is a step in the direction of violating privacy.
> If you could review someone's code from their previous jobs, I think it would be quite easy to vet applicants.

I disagree, somewhat. In positions where I work with a medium or large team, any code of mine you reviewed would give you an idea of how the team leads want code to be written, not really how I as a candidate write code. I've often disagreed on design/architecture but was forced to go through with it because I really didn't feel like arguing and getting on the shitlist of a high-ranking engineer with influence in the company.

If you want an idea of how I would design something, it's probably best to have me write something specific to the job. I'm not talking a whiteboard red-black tree implementation, but something that is actually indicative of the work I'll be doing.
both online/offline games can skew your internal reward/reinforcement system, but online games have a kind of social pressure that I just don't see with offline.

Social circles are established around online gaming; my teenager feels like he's letting his friends down if he doesn't spend enough time with 'The Clan'. His 'membership' with the group is at risk if he doesn't contribute his time.

It's made life somewhat difficult as a parent, to say the least.

This really is the problem. And I think it leads to a lot of the dysfunctional interview behavior that we've all seen. Interviewers are having to make up their own evaluation methods but really haven't thought through what the acceptance/rejection criteria should be.

I mean, we have things like the SWEBOK (https://www.computer.org/education/bodies-of-knowledge/softw...) that could be used to build a set of interview questions and acceptable responses, but does anyone use it for that?

The best interviews I've had, either as the interviewer or the candidate, have been when there was a discussion and a free flow of information in both directions. Unfortunately, it seems that in a lot of places, this degrades quickly into a hazing ritual.
> at least with many books there’s more exposure to what it means to be human.

Games could do this as well as books. (And certainly not every book does it much). Occasionally games do. Mostly not.
...did something big happen that I missed?
That would be because A) this thread diverged from that when the assertion that all shadowbanning ain any forum is harmful to the community, and B) as noted elsewhere in this discussion, FB isn't shadowbanning, they're denying sends and a UI bug later is removing the information that the send failed.

> Where’s the default option turned on on HN?

I'm not sure what you're asking. If you're asking if showdead is on by default on HN, no, it's not, and I don't think it should be.

The whole point is to make it so people that are not contributing usefully to, or worse are actively harmful to, the discussion and community are less likely to cause a disturbance. Any one of those people can easily tell if they are shadowbanned if they decide to check just by opening up an anonymous browsing instance and looking at the same discussion. They then have the option of either trying to contact the moderators to make a case, continuing on and trying to align better with the community in future comments and hope someone vouches for them (if they're aware of that), or making a new account and starting over.

But, ultimately, even if they don't even know they're shadowbanned, as long as they try to align their behavior with the community, I think there's a good chance they're be vouched for enough to not be shadowbanned after a while. When that doesn't happen, from what I've seen it's because they haven't really made an effort to change. For example, a dead user fit2rule posted yesterday about how they've been dead for a few months. I looked at their comment history, and the vast majority of them are single line responses. Those aren't necessarily bad, but they probably don't cross a threshold to make people decide they contribute enough to vouch for them. At the same time, the occasional comment they have with more than a sentence that seems to try to actually engage often doesn't show as dead, as someone must have vouched for it because they though it was worth being expressed. If they had kept with that type of engagement, I think they would not be dead at this time.

TCAS does not work if your transponder (or theirs) is off, which is how that collision in Brazil happened.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gol_Transportes_A%C3%A9reos_Fl...

The Legacy's pilot footrest places the end of your shoes dangerously close to the transponder standby button.

https://www.bangaloreaviation.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04...

The footrest is below the white screen with the navigational chart on it. The radio and transponder panel is the black screen to the right of that, with the yellow and green text on it. The 0512 is your transponder code (squawk); the button to the left of that and down one row turns it off.

This resulted in the Legacy losing its TCAS ability, and the 737 it collided with being unable to see the Legacy.

There's an apt outcome of the analogy too. It's likely the grapejuice is better for you before fermenting it, oh and the grapes themselves are better for you than removing all the fiber and the physical bulk that can help satiety.

I feel the same way about games. They may have positive effects over a null control (like sitting and staring at the paint on the wall), but reading a physical book is probably better for reading skills than an RPG.
Cattle grazing can be done in harmony with natural grasslands. After all, cattle evolved on grasslands. And back to my initial point, 10 gallons of water in Wisconsin has nowhere near the impact of 1 gallon of water in California, and the chances of that water going back into the Wisconsin water cycle are higher.
Not really. In fact it might suggest something I'm specifically more worried about. Datasets that we use in research aren't really appropriate in production. They have a lot of biases that we don't exactly care about in research but you do in production that can also get you into a lot of political and cultural trouble. So really if they are going to just use public datasets and not create their own then I expect a substantially low performance, potential trouble ahead, and I'm concerned about who is running their machine learning operations.
That's one advantage to working on open source. Your work is all just a click away.

What makes that legally impossible in China? (edit or do you just mean hard to enforce? I thought you meant something different by "legally impossible", I may have misunderstood).

one of the truths about semantic web & it's so-called "failure" that a lot of people don't have any grasp on is that the tooling was really really really offputting for a long time. the people building RDF engines & libraries were not web application developers, had no experience with modern web applications.

it took ages for them to start adopting CommonJS or EcmaScript Modules, modern packaging like npm. these factions werent in touch with what developers were trying to do, how they dealt with data. the semantic web failed to be of service to the mainstream web development world, failed to build tools that fit in.

i still think the semantic web is happening. around 2018 things started getting better, modern looking libraries started emerging. there's still a lot of spiritual clash, it's still not clear how to make a web application powered by it's own semantic data on the page, but tools & techniques like this start to draw us closer, start to weave the web tighter & open possibility spaces.

It can be, but as I recall, the crux of the whole router WRT story was the FSF or whoever called up Linksys and said, "You're in violation, but calm down, we don't want money. Let's talk." -- and that is why we have e.g. DD-WRT, Tomato et al today.
Agree. The 'Photographer Bundle' also comes with PS and includes all the mobile apps. It's actually a good deal if you use any of them regularly. I even pay for the 1tb in space so it also acts as another place my photos are copied (in addition to iCloud, TM, and backblaze).

The other thing is I just compared (again) raw conversion from my z5 in LR, Raw Power, Affinity, and some others and LR still does the best job. DAM is also an issue outside LR.

I completely understand I'm an outlier though in that I still use large cameras - the z5 is nearly brand new.

This is really difficult for me to have an unbiased opinion on, but I think this is an OK decision (3 hours seems a bit too little >.>). I've pumped WAY too many hours into online games. I played fighting games, dota, starcraft, you name it, I played it and I played it before I was 18. I really think that it stunted my social growth (though not too much) because I got really hooked on the competitive aspect of those games. Those games still get their hooks in my once in a while (splitgate I'm looking at you). However, another reason I played so many games is because I lived in the middle of nowhere in florida and didn't have a car. There wasn't much I could do other than go to school, exercise, and play games. Everything was 30+ miles away by car. I think if China is going to do this, they have to provide other outlets for people to interact with each other. Games are a way of doing that for many because there simply isn't another option for them when they are young and don't have a car and don't live in a major city like new york or SF.
Yes, it's a very major mistake.

My first computer was a 486 33mhz w/ about 250MB HD . I could only keep a couple games installed at a time, meaning i was always installing and uninstalling. Then I had to play with the autoexec.bat and cmd.com files . Then I broke it. Then i had to fix it cause my mom was still making payments on the computer (like it was a refrigerator with a 10yr lifespan) ... This is how I got into computing. Come to think if of it I owe her some "interest" on how much she invested in my career. :)
Every time I think about this topic it reminds me of The Grapes of Wrath. Flyers everywhere talking about how much the orchards need fruit pickers, creating a veritable gold rush of workers. The outsized demand for jobs from the supply side of labor drives down wages and working conditions.

Factually speaking, no one drives in first gear without gas in Germany either. But that's no different than the adherence to any other speed limit.

And of course it's painful, that's the point. You're supposed to avoid those 4-10km/h areas if at all possible. They're basically an admittance of "we couldn't technically forbid cars from entering". You'll never encounter them when shopping, going to church, or driving to the park.

Private parties in most countries can’t prosecute criminal charges anyhow, and limitations on the mechanisms of pursuing civil [0] law claims by private parties don't generally have any effect on criminal prosecution by the State, since even with the same common name for an area of law, the precise definitions in criminal law are different than civil law.

Are you kidding? Look at the US in 1980 vs. now. There has been a lot of societal change. I don't think it has much to do with video games, though.

Nationwide BBSes (Compuserv, AOL, etc.) and then the Internet have made or accelerated societal change. People can congregate and share information at a scale that wasn't feasible before, and in particular marginalized groups have found strength in numbers that just wasn't possible before.

I think the 24 hour television news cycle (and the advertising it takes to support it) has also had more of an impact than games.
