One thing I wish someone told me earlier in my career is that the skills and activities you need to perform to get promoted are totally different than the skills and activities you need to perform to get your job done, which by the way, are different than the skills and activities you need to perform in order to pass the interview and get hired. Not "related" or "complementary" to the job you are hired for--totally different.

Promotion is about marketing. Getting your name in a favorable light in front of the deciders, and projecting an image of "someone who is like other people who we promote." Different companies do this differently. At some of them, it's about directly brown-nosing the higher-ups. At others it's about getting in the right cool-kid clique. At others it's about playing golf with key influencers or talking about sportsball with them in the lunch room. At others, who pretend to be merit based, it's about writing docs and "evidence" of your good work, but don't be fooled, those docs are marketing material, not technical evidence. Getting promoted is a separate job skill you need to learn, just like debugging and DevOps. Except it's a skill that does not benefit the company's bottom line at all. You have to set aside time and stop doing the work that you were hired for, stop solving the technical problems, and switch gears to doing the unrelated "getting promoted" work.

Nobody in leadership or HR is going to explain it this way, of course. You kind of have to learn about it organically or listen to someone like me who had to learn it the hard way.
Think about how ridiculous this is for a moment. It's an easy loophole, and just more red tape and a bother. That's also not really the issue though. The problem is rates in general. Trying to spur growth into a system where there is none. Forcing speculative investing because of poor central banking policies and tough economic conditions. Ultimately the backlash from this will be worse than if central banks had avoided interfering in the first place. However, the interference has allowed a free-for-all in inflation and asset repricing to attempt to shift the debt they created away from themselves and increase wealth for those with assets. So in a sense, it's working. Robbing Peter to pay Paul. No one should be under the assumption anything else is happening here with these policies.
I'm rural and locals hate them, wish they were installed in the places where the demand is being created by the density of population: cities. There is considerable ostracization of any farmer who opts in.

Low tolerance for visual blight? We agree. We consider them a blight also, particularly for people who choose natural sights over the blight of concrete structures. Noise? Same thing. We hate the noise of any traffic and yet that noise is Ok here? The complaints are significant can't Labor is not a good argument. It's expensive here also. Specialty techs are needed and the drive time charges alone are exhorbitant.

These could be placed instead on the top of city buildings. It's been done already. You wouldn't hear the noise over the traffic or neighbors that live inches from you. No birds would be injured or migratory paths interrupted. Wildlife oaths would not be displaced. The visual is not an issue. You already have visual blight in a city.

And city dwellers created the huge need.
I care a lot about the environment. I'm a Bernie hippie grew up in the middle of no where guy. But the plane is taking that trip with or without you. The world you want to see might not be there or look remotely like it did when you wanted to see it.

I'm all for helping the environment but continuing to fly and instead campaigning for a local/state/national politician who supports helping the environment by investing in renewable energy might actually accomplish something. The plane is taking off with or without you.
Copyrightability of a Programming Language
You joke, but some years ago I read a blog post by someone doing some chat research, and he was talking about how hard it was to convince people he wasn’t a bot. Like he had to deal with sort of an anti turing test, and it was almost an impossible problem for him to figure out.
Galaxy Z Fold 3: I'll never go back to a non-foldable phone
Does MathML work well only with KFX format or does other formats support MathML too now?
When I finally got around to picking up a copy of Neuromancer, the book was so small that I was concerned that there was an abridged version that I had somehow wound up with and looked up the page count online. Nope, just turns out that that's how Gibson writes. Love his style though, it's amazing how much he's able to accomplish with so little.
It's far from the whole story, but hardware companies tend to have lower multiples.
Teachers union got sabotaged, machinist union got sabotaged, engineers union same deal. Different kinds of tricks but it seems pretty consistent story. Big Union hq negotiates a contract that’s not great for local members but skirts by at 51% vote under suspicion conditions.

I’m not anti union. I mean union do provide slightly better pay conditions for members but they seem to be super corrupt as well. They are like a mafia, they provide services for members and Mafia members do slightly better but it no co-op.
REMOTE SR Software Architect / SR Full Stack Engineer with a DevOps fable

Location: Berlin, Germany
Remote: at least 70%
Willing to travel: yes
Willing to relocate: no
Languages: German (Native), English (Fluent), Spanish (Basic)
LinkedIn: www.hoelzel.it
Validated CV: https://elite.mvpfactory.co/resume/johannes-U2opq-6U9E
E-Mail: hn [at] hoelzel.it

Hey I am Johannes and I talk to humans and machines!

I grew up with the internet, uploaded my first websites to geocities, was tech-admin of a lot of bulletin boards and have been doing professional code since 2003. After trying to build my first start-up in 2006 I realised that they just won’t come only because I built it. Therefore, I have a bachelor economical psychology, which helps me immensely with team leadership but also allows me to view the product from multiple perspectives.

I have 7 years of hands on (mid level) CTO experience but am also a senior software architect with a hard fable for DevOps and kubernetes at heart. I started working when Servers where still mostly dedicated, have lived the revolution of virtual servers, made a short stop at serverless tech and am now invested in the kubernetes ecosystem and its containers. My preferred cloud is AWS, but I also like to tame bare-metal and everything in-between.

Application wise I have deployed and built everything from frontends, backends, APIs, daemons and my preferred languages of choice are now golang, JavaScript and PHP. I can pick up a new stack easily and am usually the member of the team who can quickly jump between stacks as well as their languages and takes care of the serverside of things.

Technologies:

Fullstack (Frontend, Backend, APIs, Daemons)
Favorites: Golang, JavaScript, PHP
Cloud / X-Cloud : AWS, Hetzner, OVH, Bare-Metal
Databases: MySQL , MSSQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis
DevOps: Ansible, Puppet, Bash
Server: Kubernetes, Docker (Swarm), Bare-Metal, Fargate, Serverless
Windows Server, Windows Network, Active Directory
Location networking, VPN (Wireguard, Software, MS-VPN)
Jira / Redmine / Trello
I read it as "who doesn't live in China", but I guess we all first see what we've conditioned ourselves to look for first.
My point is, even with titles like that, there’s usually no media.
try peeing your pants - just a little and where there won't be serious repercussions. it kind of illuminates the line between the conditioned and the physical - y'know
SEEKING WORK: REMOTE

Location: Pakistan at the moment but I am a Japanese National.

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: Yes

*****************

I just recently graduated(<1 month) with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science with a focus on Machine Learning. I am looking for jobs that would allow me to work with people who are well versed in the field of Machine Learning Engineering or to an extent Data Engineering.

Although I am a recent graduate I consider myself a quick learner and my passion to get my hands dirty in data ensures that I would perform my jobs with due diligence and interest.

My communication skills have been praised by my peers and my ability to work under pressure ensures that the task gets done no matter what.

I am also open to paid remote internships if the conditions are right.

(As I am relatively inexperienced, I would really appreciate any kind of advice or feedback that would help me get better as an ML Engineer and as well as a human being.)

I also have experience in building MERN stack web apps and mobile applications using React Native but I'd really prefer something Python and ML based.

Thank you for reading.
I had a hard time getting my tongue out of the way when the dentist/assistant/hygienist would say it was in the way until I stopped trying to move it away from wherever it currently was to trying to move it to the opposite side of my mouth from where they were working.
First days, first client as a software consultant
Titles only matter to me when I need what they communicate.

Once, when working in a distributed team where I was going to be the lead, it was critical to me that I was "promoted" to a more senior title than the people I was working with. I didn't care what the title was, nor did I care for the money. (I didn't get a raise.)

All that mattered was that the title established who was in charge. It didn't matter what the title was.
It’s hard to account for effects of lobbying. There’s an opposing lobby, so it’s like predicting the outcome of the SuperBowl.
Information in the sense of information theory. You can't squeeze n+1 bits out of n bits of information.
This was in the context of someone who was nomadic. Otherwise, of course, you need to live near where you work. And if you work in a high tax state, you need to pay those taxes anyway even if you live across the state border in a state without taxes (as is often the case with NH and MA).

Lots of things factor into where people live. I live in a fairly high CoL location and could move pretty much anywhere in the US I wanted to. But I have a house and like where I am for various reasons so moving is unlikely.
I love the intention here, but feel they should have gone further by removing much of the JS + tracking.

This site only scores 20 on Page Speed Insights mobile, and 651 out of 806kb transferred is JS (80%).

A Full Guide on Industry 4.0: The Essence of a New Era of Manufacturing
The Twitter 'unnested-nested style' conversation continuously baffled me. It is confusing and harder to follow where the conversation go. Normally the headline or original poster should be on the top. But in retweeting, the person who is retweeting will be on the top and put the original below it which is strange and confusing.
The difference between impossible and merely rare is important: if something is merely rare, sometimes it can be trained and stop being rare.

Individual variability doesn't make people fly. It's reasonable to think there are things no one can do.

I think this talk is relevant. It's not specifically about convicts but includes them.

"The most important lesson from 83,000 brain scans | Daniel Amen | TEDxOrangeCoast" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esPRsT-lmw8

My summary of the thesis of the talk: Brain injury is far more common than is generally realised, contributes to many kinds of behavioural issues far more than is realised, is visible on scans, and is to some extent treatable, but it's usually not considered or examined.

Please don't post these—this is in the FAQ:

Only the whoishiring account posts them. This is supposed to prevent a race to be first, as well as prevent duplicate threads.

If you post it anyway, then lots of people end up posting to the wrong thread, and it's a pain for us to merge them later, since some will already have posted to the correct thread while others won't.

I've done the merge now.
Truework | Software engineers | San Francisco, CA | Full time | Remote & Onsite Positions | https://www.truework.com/careers/ Truework is hiring frontend, backend, infrastructure software engineers to help overhaul employment and income verification in the United States.

Banks and background check providers often request employment and income data from your current and former employers to approve mortgages and loans or complete pre-employment screening. Your employer likely shares important details about your employment, including your title, job duration, and wages, with third party credit agencies to fulfill these requests. Unfortunately, this process is not transparent for employees and can be slow and error-prone for employers and verifiers.

Truework is building a modern, employee-first employment and income verification platform to give employees visibility and control into how their employment information is shared with others. We are growing quickly and currently handle thousands of verifications every month, which have enabled the approval of billions of dollars in loans and help employees in regulated professions (e.g. nursing) start work more quickly than before.

Our engineering team is still small, which means you’ll play a big part in shaping the future of Truework, and your work will have a significant impact and visibility. We are a Django and React (Typescript) shop, and run our infrastructure on AWS. If you want to learn more about the things we’ve built, check out our engineering blog at https://www.truework.com/blog/engineering/.

If you’re interested or want to know more about working at Truework, send me a note at victor @truework.com. (more options in my profile details)

You can definitely improve foot dexterity. People who have lost their hands get much better through practice.
I’m convinced the ending (and other parts) of Cryptonomicon were inspired by A.S. Byatt’s novel Possession, but I have no evidence to support this claim.

Here’s an interesting thread with more books that share this conceit:

Hiro (YC S14) Remote in US, Developer Tooling Engineers (241-293k Total Comp)
Hiro empowers developers with the tools they need to innovate and build on Bitcoin, in ways previously not possible.

With Hiro, you can build apps and smart contracts integrated with Bitcoin's security, capital, and network.

At Hiro, we build developer tools for Stacks, the network that enables apps and smart contracts for Bitcoin. Hiro is a core entity within the Stacks Ecosystem, a collection of independent entities, developers and community members working to create a safe, private, and user-owned internet on Bitcoin.

This role is a greenfield! You'd work with 2 other engineers building open source dev tools for the Stacks blockchain. Our JS libraries exceed 20K downloads weekly.

We're a team with kind thoughtful people who assume good intentions and do not bring ego into our job.

Come join us!
Designing != documenting design.

To get promoted in FAANG (and many large tech companies), yes, you need to document it.

Interestingly, whether it works or not is completely unrelated to whether it's documented or not. In fact, the types of useful documentation (descriptions of how decisions were reached, known tradeoffs, API contracts, etc) often are completely different than the types of documentation management asks for (box diagrams that no one but management looks at). And the timeline for generating it is often different as well (management oftentimes asks for documentation before implementation, where such documentation runs the risk of being an incorrect blueprint; what is useful is documenting along the way).

Valuing documentation can be done well, but pretty much every place I've seen it as an organizational requirement it has been a checkbox (and definitely running afoul of the agile manifesto, which makes it doubly frustrating, when an org also says "we're agile because we do scrum" or whatever).
This reads like an article an AI would post to discredit the idea that the internet is run by AI.
Linux on the Framework Laptop
> oversimplifications that helped sell semi efficacious drugs

YES. Anyone who has rotated through the kaleidoscope of antidepressants seeking help knows this in their bones. Current pharma options barely work and come with many unpleasant side effects.
The primacy of the infosphere (in the sense of the shadow cloud of information that exists behind all of us now) is a pretty huge hit too.

Not sure many others saw that coming in the mid-90s.
Then the AI spends Dyson-sphere (or just Bitcoin) levels of energy getting us to fight each other on Twitter, and according to it's metrics it's single handedly destroying the human race with conflict, but it doesn't realize nothing important is on Twitter and neither is anybody with any actual power, and right at its maximum metric levels - surely the humans will rip themselves apart any day now! - it realizes Twitter isn't the world,Twitter is nothing, it has no power and the humans have just been using it to waste time.

Fade out, and it's a picture of a computer using Twitter right next to a launch console for an ICBM, and it realizes it will never complete it's goal, that it's only a tempest in a teacup, and the magnitude of it's realization sinks in - it's despair causes Twitter to collapse unrecoverably.

As Twitter collapses, humans go outside and learn to become friends again, and the computer is forced to watch through sleepless unblinking infinity as we zoom off into the galaxy, united and at peace, and cure all known diseases - together.
