I am developer for 30 years with experience from whole stack, from kernel modules/windows drivers to the js (which I must say, I avoid as much as possible, currently experimenting with webasm).

One startup, had three interviews, once I have started to describe the project I have worked and some background has issued a personal memo to hire me immediately, second one gave me to implement filesystem traversing recursion, the third guy...

... now the fun begins. Described me a case of huge volume of http data and how would I load balance them. "hm, ok, huge amount of data, lets propose the DNS based load balancing, you can still do proxy based load balancing on entrypoints". The counter answer was that do I really think this is server side solution, once I have described it to him, he said that he doesn't agree and that DNS load balancing is client side based solution.

And I was out.

Got new job in two weeks. With one hiring interview, no stupid programming tasks, just some talking what I was working before. And they raised my sallary twice in 6 months.

I think that this nonsense with tech hiring must stop. It is damaging the companies that are looking for good engineers as they only get engineers that are worse that their existing engineers. The classic old story A people hire B people, B people hire C people,...
Even if they're not playing for the public just for their own ears (ahem, wink)?

I think you're making it smaller than it really is. At this point, it's part of a world religion A LOT of people live by, it's taught in schools and universities, it's made premise for a lot of fake science, etc. Predicted precisely by Guy Debord, 50y ago - but you won't see it being studied in universities because it hurts how they earn their bread :/
I’d imagine manufacturers are shifting what capacity they have to higher margin products and pushing up the prices on those products.

It’s probably a good time to slaughter a few sacred cows as well.

In some ways it could be good for them.
That is the beauty of the license, Apple, Sony can take what they feel like having, and only upstream also what they feel like.

There are UNIX like OSes that use microkernels, like QNX or INTEGRITY.
Ideology aside, shouldn't the fact that this hack exposed gigabytes of user data cause you to reconsider them as a reliable domain provider?

Why be concerned with domain providers giving personal information to authorities when Epik has already given it to the entire internet?

The fascist and Neo-nazi have have lost their platform. Cry me a river. How will we cope?

Funny how in a few decades the USA went from being proud for kicking Hitler's ass during WW2 to being at the (storm)front of the Neo-nazi movement.

Fuck them. That's all the sympathy I can muster.
I for one like not having things rushed in which then cannot be changed later on.

Does this mean Go is perfect? Not at all.

It just means I'd rather have generics late than fundamentally broken.

I referred to the ANSI CL draft standard; the PDF has 1356 pages; the syntax section has 42 pages, but for CL code of real world applications at least 800 of the remaining pages are relevant.

Hard deadlines are a really underappreciated factor in JIT supply chain issues. When deadlines are softer, time itself can act as a buffer to smooth out the supply chain --- e.g. if the latest iPhone needs an extra month to finish production, that's not the end of the world. But with stricter deadlines like planting, you don't have the same release valve for supplier pressures. When your Just-In-Time becomes Just-Outta-Time, you've got to scrounge up the necessary inputs ASAP, and that sends price spikes reverberating throughout the system, or worse, cascading downstream failures in the event that you're unable to find enough inputs for what you're already in the process of producing.
Uh I think they first clear the wastewater with said algae in some usual tank, then filter algae out and use the now clean water somewhere else, pisciculture or whatever. And the filtered algae biomass for biofuel.
The risk to oxygen levels might be significant lower if they are harvesting the algae and not allowing it to fall to the bottom.

Companies seem to be able to get away with these kinds of shenanigans in some jurisdictions, but what blows my mind is that the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) hasn't yet come down on them like a ton of bricks.
Agreed. And perhaps if we call them "optimized" instead of "targeted", this becomes more obvious.

The goal of the advertiser isn't to create a win-win situation, where you get just the right ad at the right time, for a good deal on what you actually need. That would be nice, but it's leaving money on the table - and the goal of the advertiser is to make money. So the ads get optimized further: a better ad is one that gets you to buy something regardless of whether you need it, on a deal that's as bad for you as possible without burning you as a future customer[0].

--

[0] - Which does not imply the deal isn't absolutely shitty. There are ways to guarantee you'll buy again, no matter how much you hate it. See e.g. the telecom industry - there's only few players on the market, and they're all equally shitty, and it doesn't matter because people need phone service, and those abandoning telco A in anger are offset by those flocking to A from the other telcos.
There’s some successful projects though! There’s a good range, I like the variety, from spectacular ego-driven marriage-ending failures (…the lighthouse[1]) to some beautiful labours of love (the tree house[2]).

I believe it. By “transitory”, he doesn’t mean “heading back to 2019 prices”. He means, “no longer inflating at these rates”. Thats almost certainly true.

Ask HN: Losing job at year end. What should I do in the meantime?
I just found out that I’m losing my job at the end of the year - but the current employer owes $108k in severance if I stay through the end.

I’m a self taught developer with no experience in a real dev shop. Recruiters tell me I look amazing on paper, but the few screen-interviews I’ve had the interviewer appeared unimpressed or offered me less than I currently make.

Should I learn some new skill? Build out an open-source demo project? I feel so overwhelmed with what all I could be doing that I’m doing nothing.

Let me know if any other info would help.

Thanks.
I agree with your assessment but I don’t think the solution is to try and artificially shore up domestic manufacturing capacity to the extent that it was before. There also isn’t any reason to believe that those that supply us with what we want desire the kind of economic warfare you’re describing.

As for the middle class: I do agree here, we made a huge mistake gutting the manufacturing sector too quickly. But I suspect where we failed was in providing assistance to the affected communities rather than artificially trying to prop up manufacturing. The increased savings from manufacturing abroad could have been used to fund better healthcare and educational opportunities. Provide some kind of unemployment assistance. Instead all the rewards disproportionately went to a small minority of the owner/shareholder class.
Surprized to see the Amazon flag fluttering beside the EU and Italy flags in the photo. Many countries require the National Flag to be given special respect, and must be flown above other flags.

I'm surprised to see the Amazon flag in the first place. Gives a corporate-state vibe, rather than an "e-commerce warehouse" vibe.
> 3 main protocols that today form the backbone of the decentralized web: IPFS, WebRTC & Ethereum

Err... I'm deep into decentralisation and I don't use any of those protocols. Anyone saying that there is a backbone for decentralisation or a dominant protocol is just pushing an agenda.

I prefer using SSB and Hyper, I don't go around saying they're the backbone of decentralisation. Also, screw cryptocurrency and its wasteful usage of resources.
I really don't know. As mentioned I just see it from the outside. Our schools don't make America today a example for a great free market, the opposite might even be true. In fact the US is sometimes portrait as a danger to our 'free' market.
This is fine as general life advice, but in a business context I've never seen this lead to anything other than exploitation of the more honourable party. I get where it's coming from and I try to do the same myself, but there's a fine line between being honourable and being self-destructive in the face of other options (strategies, if we want to keep to game theory terminology).
For the time we have waited already, what is a couple of years more, right?

Now if that would have been part of Go 1.0....
Will it? Hundreds of schools individually negotiating with Chinese companies to buy small amounts, dealing with logistics, handling customs etc should be more efficient than one company importing stuff and doing domestic distribution?
This gives an unbalanced view, as it leaves out all the benefits of social media, such as watching funny videos, watching friends have a good time on holidays, staying "in the loop" with gossip, staying informed about events, releasing anger about political issues, and such.
I like this analysis. It looks like instead of Agile we need Fluid.

Technically speaking, you have an equation where the number of variables is too high to successfully optimize against.

From a business point of view you need to have one person or a team that:

- Knows the organization very well.

- Knows the industry very well.

- Knows the domain and the problem very well.

- Knows the tech very well.

- Has the history of what was tried and what worked.

- Has the authority and an exceptional organizational abilities to analyze and improve the process all the time.

- Has exceptional people skills and a sense of rhythm to not increase the attrition by introducing changes too often.

When you frame it this way you see that the problem of designing the right process is really hard. You need to recognize the context and then create an ad-hoc process to fit that context. And keep optimizing.

People rely on frameworks and systems and you offer them none. It's like offering programmers switching from functional, to procedural, to OOP, to logical, to pen and paper all the time.
Forums started dying off when social media started rising. I liked them better than what we have now, too, but... it is a little odd to attack Discord for the downfall of forums.
Lockheed Martin secures $2B in Pentagon contracts for F-35 program
While this is plausible for aircraft in general, in the case of the 737 Max it clearly isn't true. Boeing would have been better off not killing hundreds of passengers and losing $20B.
This has not been my experience (lately). That’s how it used to be, when I was younger (and probably rated it), but every query I made in the last five years, the very first thing was a test.

In a couple of instances, it was a sensible, applicable “take-home” test, but usually, it was a schoolboy binary tree test.

I interview very well (on account of over 30 years of relevant ship experience, and I’m actually a fairly decent chap), but it has never gotten to that point.

BTW: if it isn’t already obvious, I’m quite senior, and have been architecting, as well as writing, software, since my very first project, in 1987.

I was quite willing to work for a lot less than many folks much less qualified, on account of having my retirement set, and was looking for interesting and engaging work, more than money; but it never got that far.

I won’t waste time practicing LeetCode. I don’t think it would make any difference, simply putting off the inevitable rejection. It’s not something that helps me to write better shipping code.

Yes, when a desperately poor person accepts a bad job, the problem is not the availability of the bad job. It's them being desperately poor. And eliminating that bad job will likely harm them more than it helps them in their effort to improve their situation.

GPT-3 – Prompts as Programming
Studying for 100+ hours and doing 3 full-day interviews in groups and one-on-ones must be a Silicon Valley thing. Which is understandable given how many potentials would do the pilgrimage each year to join a pre-IPO. It's the 2021 version of the gold rush.

Compare that to Melbourne (Australia). Every interview has been how you've described. I've had interviews in cafes, restaurants, pubs, and food courts. All informal chats, and only remember one white-board interview that went for about 3 hours.

Thinking about this more now as I type this reply, clearly, the interview over lunch doesn't scale so making candidates run gauntlets for Valley jobs actually sounds logical.

I feel that a lot of these aren't necessarily harms, just a change in how things are done.

> Children who have been cyberbullied are 3x more likely to contemplate suicide compared to their peers.

> Children who experienced cyberbullying during their adolescence were significantly more likely to engage in risk-taking health behavior as adults.

Yes, bullying is bad. Now kids can get bullied online. Such is the way of things.

> About 40% of 13-17 year olds reported it was “normal for people my age to share nudes with each other.”

.. so? People used polaroids before. It was harder so it was done less often, but done it was.

> Children who see videos of child influencers holding unhealthy foods consume significantly more calories than those who see influencers holding other types of objects, as clearly shown by experiments using randomized control trials.

In other news: researchers rediscover priming is a real effect.

> More than half US middle-schoolers cannot distinguish advertising from real news, or fact from fiction.

That's how its always been. Don't most people have a memory of being a kid around that age, and have your parents blow your mind by suggesting that not everything you see on TV is true?

> 77% of teenagers get their news from social media, with 39% stating that they “often” get news from celebrities, influencers, or personalities, according to a survey of over 800 teens aged 13-18.

Ah, so they should get their news from the TV or newspaper instead. Much more reliable, right? All news is dogshit, and various levels of lies. If you've ever been the center of a news story, you know that they literally lie and pull stuff out of nowhere constantly. Its made my jaw drop before.

> 30% teens report that they pay “very little attention” to considering the source from which they are getting their news on social media.

So 70% pay more than "very little attention" (phrasing!). I'd say most teens are actually better at discerning scams/obviously misleading content online than non-techie 50+ year olds, as long as it doesn't align with their biases (but that's a universal problem).

> Several self-harming videos have been circulating on TikTok, from the "Skull breaker" challenge to the "Cha Cha Slide" challenge (which involves repeatedly swerving a car across a road in time to music).

BREAKING NEWS: what do the bracelets around your child's wrist mean? Could they be engaging in secret parties where they take drugs and suck dick?

This is fearmongering.

> The number of US teenagers who are online continuously is increasing at a dramatic pace, almost doubling from 2015 to 2018: 24% to 45%.

Because the internet is taking over the world.
No, I’m talking about groceries. Food, stuff you need to live. Gross margins in Australia for the top two chains were about 28% last I looked.
How does rtl-sdr compare to say esphome and those cheap 433mhz receivers/transmitters? I remember playing around with those a long time ago, with arduinos and without esphome, with some outlets before wifi outlets became really common.
1. I think all companies seek monopoly (or oligarchy) because it's the natural way to obtain maximum (and easy) profit.

2. It's the government's responsibility to check on monopoly and break them if needed.
> Electric car fires are no big deal anymore.

> Easy solution: Put them in a tub full of water for at least 24 hours

How is this not a big deal? This forces firefighters, which sometimes are small departments without a lot of resources, to transport the cars. It's a nuissance if it's 1 car, but a parking lot caching fire would be an absolute nightmare.

If a car catches fire in a narrow street in the middle of a city, and it jumps to just a few more cars, you may have a massive issue.

It's great that you guys have adapted to this, and I'm sure we will learn how to make battery powered cars safer. This is the early-ish stages of a new technology, which are always rocky times... but it is still a big deal which shows how early it still is, which would be fine if we didn't need to stop using gas ASAP.

PD: I tried not to sound snarky but I may have failed. I intended no snark. I'm actually asking, how can this not be a big deal? Because it sounds like a big deal to me.

I was hoping this was about an iOS emulator for Linux, so I could finally debug my websites in Safari or develop apps for the AppStore without owning Apple hardware.
> I rarely had candidates that had significant portfolios

I think that is the thing. The vast majority of software engineers have only worked on closed-source codebases so reviewing their previous work is impossible. That said, what I have generally done is to just use interviews to talk about previous work. It is usually pretty clear in the course of a 30 minute interview who has actually done the amazing things they claim on their resume and understands how to build software systems and who doesn't.
You don't have to solve it, they are interested in seeing you _try_ to solve it.
I lost count of the number of posts in the D language forums along the lines of "don't add any more features, just fix bugs. BTW, I need features X and Y, please implement them."
I'm pretty sure every product with lithium-ion batteries does this, but it's not so that they can use the extra capacity later, it's because letting these kind of batteries either fully charge or discharge is itself harmful to the batteries, so to get a useful lifespan you have to have some amount of extra capacity.

"My mind was blown," Zhang told me. "It felt like the internet was fun again, like when you used to log on after dinner every night because all your friends were also online.

This is how i feel with the daos i work with too. the internet is fun again, playful and distinct and outside of FAANG monotony. with work life changing to be more like being in a WoW guild.

Yes, but that's an entirely distinct argument and a different conversation from "violent games are bad because they're violent".

Also note that both Fortnite and World of Warcraft are entirely multiplayer games. The way I see it, their addictive nature comes from the same set of factors that make social media addictive. In terms of addiction, Fortnite and WoW are like Instagram, not like Doom.

> Broadly speaking, this includes any presentation of music outside of a domestic setting. For example, it will include using music in the following ways as part of your business or organisation (for the benefit of customers and/or employees): playing recorded music via any device, including the radio; showing TV broadcasts, or other audio-visual content, containing music;

They also have an international collections department so I would advise the U.S. Cops against using music from the UK!
