I do get blogs linking to random stuff and I discuss those posts on merit. E.g., someone I was interviewing for a web dev intern position sent me a post about a woman coming out as bisexual. This post resonated with him because he felt that in our country, we need to discuss sexuality more freely. So I tried to probe how deeply they had thought about the topic or were they sharing it for its shock value.

You're right that it gives me a read on the candidate based on what they share. It's a good filter - if the candidate picks something really basic to share, it shows how well they know their tech. If they choose something more advanced but can't contextualise it, that's a sign that they are faking it to make it.

Three industry related posts isn't automatically a red flag to me because the posts may cover different sub-topics.
Crypto eats the world now if you like it or not. The climate will be fine, because newer systems don’t burn excessive energy. But the CCP fighting the tide is great news, since communist regimes usually fall by trying to clamp down on things beyond their control.
No part of that needs a blockchain.
I think if it exactly the same as replacing your hair with surgically implanted gold chains.
Why should a user care what percentage of a transaction a platform takes?

Do you ask every grocery store or 7/11 what their processing fees for the transaction are?
> The rebranding of MySQL as blockchain

Sadly this really is the most nuanced definition of "blockchain" that many people can understand
Yeah, I don't like Go in most respects, but their approach to concurrency is way more intuitive than async/await. That said, Go doesn't have any standard promise or futures libraries, which is quite ridiculous. Yes, you can roll your own or go get one, but that is something basic should be in the language.
I enjoyed the newest one, but probably because it was dumb and nostalgic and I hadn't seen the original in twenty years.
For desktops at least, Wake on LAN is still a setting in EFI/BIOS. On my AMD desktop using a high end ASUS motherboard (Dark Hero), I switched that off along with a couple things that looked like a WoL setting in Windows, and that PC has stayed asleep all night ever since.

I haven't seen this behavior from my ThinkPad X1 Nano, but that may be because it shuts itself down entirely after being closed for an hour or two without being connected to a power source.
'existential spiral of thoughts about how all value is just perceived and agreed upon'

Yes, you are awakening. Cultures seem to like jewelry and art.
Yes, seconded. Also local changes take a couple of seconds to reflect - which is sometimes really annoying for the dev experience.
I agree, I'm not a huge fan of USB-C either. I used to have the butterfly keyboard MBP that everyone rightly hated and the USB-C sockets, within a month, were all loose enough for the cables to just fall out regularly. Never had that problem with Lightning.
I have to say seeing all these posts about Zuckerberg's privacy is very hilarious to me. He's as entitled to privacy as his users are.
> People who signed up early to the right blockchains will have priority access to certain software ecosystems and exclusive services which are only accessible to the richest among them (for example).

I cannot possibly imagine a world where services will choose to only permit authentication via some expensive blockchain such that they deny themselves access to markets outside of the global rich.

And telling my grandma "don't worry, the coins you don't understand will go up in price" is not going to help.

This is the core question: why is signature-based authentication using public keys associated with BTC wallets superior to signature-based authentication using public keys not associated with BTC wallets? As far as I can tell, the only benefit here is that now my identity on my photo sharing service can be linked to my identity on my wine rating service. Why do I want that?
One of the hardest parts of applying to FAANG or any job is how draining it is to go through the trouble of applying and then not even getting a response. I've been there, it feels bad every time.

I've been involved in hiring at most companies I've worked at and I can assure that hiring is a complete disaster everywhere. In fact, you mentioned that you were introverted but if you volunteered to help out with interviewing at your current company you might find it to be an eye opening experience.

It does tend to be better at faang companies, but not that much better. Still lots of ego and superstition.

One option to consider would be to just keep applying to either faang companies or companies with generally higher prestige that might lead to faang companies.

You can also look into doing contract work for them which tends to be an easier onramp to working there full time (but still quite hard).

You can also take this time to poke around at what you find interesting. This will likely also help your career a lot in various ways.

I've been in your situation a lot of times in my career "well this is boring. Now what?" I don't want to say this is advice exactly because you never know where it goes - but for me I've always looked around to see what seems most interesting and worked on that. Mostly because I'm a very lazy person and if I'm not deeply in love with my work it feels like pulling teeth.

Selfishly I'd love to have you back in the US! We need all the developers of your caliber we can get. But I totally understand not wanting to mess with visas. I have some friends who are on H1-B's. I would go crazy with all the nonsense they have to do. I had no idea how long it took before talking with them about it.

One last thought, ycombinator has been doing a push towards becoming international lately. You could take some time to think of something the world needs and you could plausibly build with great effort and then apply to YC with just the idea. Perhaps something that could only be built with a deep knowledge of Laravel.

Getting into YC is a longshot but you may find the questions in the application and sketching out your startup idea illuminating in it's own way. You can also apply again with more than just an idea next time if you don't get in. Or seek other funding (though that road is probably more difficult in India than in the US. Who knows though, there must be parts of India with a startup scene.)

Good luck friend!
As a counterpoint to your example of Seattle, Republican-led Fort Worth saw it's homicide numbers increase by 59% in 2020 (even more than Seattle) despite increasing their police budget over the same period:

That is indeed the reference. I don't remember where I read it, but it came from toadyone I'm pretty sure. Might have been one of his early podcasts?
thanks so much, didn't know there is any way now.

Simple Gesture works amazingly well and you can avoid the tabs menu all together with it.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/simple-gestur...

It just mustn't collide with the "pull down to refresh" so you might want to remap the gestures not to include down without an up before.

Now I just need to find a way to quickly open new tabs in fore- and even more important: background. Long press for anything frequent is just infuriating.
Well if you think it, it must be true.
I got a reply over FB messenger haha
If someone does steal your identity in this way, there's no way of getting it back. You can't appeal to any authority, because there's no authority to appeal to in a decentralised system. You literally have to start again and create a new identity.

So you're gambling bigger: less likely to have your identity stolen, but complete loss of everything to do with that identity, with no recourse, if it is stolen.

I'm not sure I like those odds.
I would definitely look again at btrfs once it gains raid5/6 capability.

Currently happily using ZFS. The only issue is not being able to use latest kernel releases as the ZFS folks usually don't release updates for a while, but overall it doesn't really bother me much nowadays.
The only problem with that is that tracking the end user only helps the developer not the end user.
Making the esbuild based starter the default one in the docs will be much more helpful.
While I agree, all of the ways you mentioned to pay for something are fundamentally something that requires infrastructure to create (industrial, banking, or a mint), and has a physical anchor that can be plucked from you by physical force (including the SWIFT transfer - though usually bank's prefer to comply than shut themselves down).

A blockchain based currency will exist as long as there's someone with a sufficiently powerful computing device connected to a sufficiently low-risk network that can be accessed legally or illicitly. A blockchain wallet will exist and be yours alone as long as you keep the password in your brain, never write it down, and resist attempts to extract it from you.

This means that, in comparison to conventional currency (including Nuka-Cola caps), a blockchain economy is much easier to operate undercover when it's outlawed.

Here's your seemingly month reminder that there is only one cryptocurrency. Bitcoin.

NFTs are epitome of tulip mania. Bitcoin, while it does increase in value due to low supply, is the only secure and actually fair escape hatch to the global monetary system and holds value globally. Proof of Stake, and every single coin below Bitcoin, copied from Bitcoin, are similar to fiat and centralized. Ethereum is the worst of the bunch and is scamming millions.
> Now at some point there is a market incentive to develop mining techniques that optimize for less energy consumption above all else.

There is already a market incentive for that (electricity is not free), and there is already a solution to this (proof of stake). Please stop advocating and using proof of work shitcoins.
> "This is one of the biggest signals that the US is an oligarchy and not a democracy."

The constitutional doctrine of separation of powers generally limits regulatory law enforcement by the executive against the legislative branch. This is actually a signal of constitutionally limited government-- this is a design feature.
They don't look stupid, they are stupid outside of their blockchain. There's no way to force a proof of ownership between NFT and physical item.
It's not just ugly gifs. It's digital art, your online game items, concert tickets, supermarket vouchers and so on.

Quote from statista: "In 2020, global gaming audiences spent an approximate 54 billion U.S. dollars on additional in-game content". But the players don't own their purchases. You don't play the game anymore, servers go down or you get banned and all your stuff is gone. Think about that.

Edit: Of course my comment got nothing but down votes again on HN. Was worth a try anyway.
Defunding the police is about taking away their military grade equipment, nothing to do with your everyday murder.

I find it way more likely, and interesting, that covid had a major role in the rise of homicides. The lockdowns/restrictions and their social / mental health impacts: people losing their loved ones, jobs, financial/mental struggles, domestic violence, &c. You can live in the most policed country in the world, if you're locked down with your abusive/violent partner for X months violence will happen

Benioff has his own political biases, which are clear from past statements and company actions. When he talks about mistrust and misinformation, I wonder if he is strictly talking about those he disagrees with. Personally I find it dangerous that he wants Congress to crack down on Facebook. While I think that may be appropriate for actual crimes (like human trafficking), I am more wary of a government policing what it sees as “misinformation”.
> Why the discrepancy? Do people believe that successful stock traders in general are more honest and law-abiding than top athletes?

It's probably more to due with your audience than "people in general". The type of people who can/will discuss financial markets tend to be invested in financial markets, and thus do not want to understand. If you have your sense of self-worth (in more ways than one), tied up in the numbers in your brokerage account, would you readily accept the idea that your heros and "investment mentors" are cheats and liars?

How many amateur athletes would believe that professionals are all doping relative the broader population that is not so invested in sports?
They're a status symbol, and the symbol is being gullible, or maybe having considerable disposable income.

It's fine, though, it brings back money into the economy. Not much different from extracting huge sums for champagne with a few milligrams of gold sheet, or jeweled smartphones. The only difference is that they're buying an imaginary luxury object.

All analytics data collected by your iPhone is viewable under Settings -> Privacy -> Analytics & Improvements -> Analytics Data, or via a computer. None of it is hidden from you. And they have published privacy labels for their own apps a long time ago, so there's nothing inconsistent here.
I’ve now tried three times to update Safari. The first two times I left the laptop on charge with the lid open (I have it set to auto update). The third time I did it manually and watched. It got the download ok, but failed during install. It told me the update failed, but with no reason or suggestion regarding what to do next.
And the Internet Archive contains Wikipedia, so it's a win-win.
How dare China tries to stop jihadi networks in its country. One the Saudis, UAE, and the good ol CIA have every intention of using to destabilize China.
The two times I ever got a virus was both from an advert exploiting flash, the threat is real.
I prefer to put my computer to sleep rather than shut it down. Closing the lid on my computer, putting it in my backpack, and heading home for the day is very natural. When I get back to work the next day, I open it up connect the cables, scan my fingerprint, and everything's back where I left it. I usually go at least a month between reboots, but that's highly dependant on when updates come out (and get approved by work, of course).

This is on a Mac though, so (for me anyway) this is something that just works without any fuss.
I had this exact same issue a while back, and created https://rake.red/ to fix that. Simply point the action attribute of your form to "https://rake.red/{your-project}/{your-form}" and your data will start coming in.

Does the IP on the instance change on a regular interval? Or do you have to request it? I use VPNs to protect against tracking. If the IP is mostly static then using it as a defense against tracking is useless.
Amusing to see all the armchair experts denying this. Now take your iPhone, start the Settings app, go to General/Legal & Regulatory/RF exposure and read the text.

You’re not supposed to keep your phone directly against your skin.
Imagine living in a country that allows you to destroy the environment for a fake currency.

Your worldview is ridiculous.
> The iPhone's camera is great for what it is, but it's definitely not anything close to a replacement of an entry level DSLR and shouldn't really be marketed as such.

The iPhone isn’t intended to compete with DSLRs because it’s literally a phone that fits in your pocket.

Phones don’t compete with DSLRs because they serve different purposes.

I can’t realistically carry a DSLR or mirrorless camera everywhere. I can, however, keep my phone in my pocket all the time. That’s why it’s so great to have these reviews from professional photographers to show what’s capable in the context of the phone.

It’s not about DSLR versus iPhone. It’s about what’s possible from the device I always have in my pocket.
Apple explicitly barred Facebook from rewarding its users for opting in. Obviously this is done with the color of protecting its users (from, say, Facebook gating the entire functionality of its app behind the permission check) but it's still a restraint on Facebook's freedom of trade.
Sure, no photo is unedited. But there is a difference what is the effort of post-processing. Is it none, a few seconds, a few minutes with Lightroom, or hours with Photoshop?

With enough effort you can basically do whatever you wish, especially when it comes to increasing quality (see for example this one https://gizmodo.com/deep-learning-can-now-flawlessly-correct...).
Does libdecor even support XDG Decoration? If not, no thanks. Sorry, but if you create a brand new problem for us to all deal with I expect you to have a solution too. If it looks or feels non-native on KDE it’s still broken…

And telling me all Linux apps they should link against GTK would make me angry if it wasn’t so stupid.

P.S. edit: I’d just to like to add:

- Please don’t take my harsh tone too personally. I’m not pissed off at people, I am pissed off at their initiatives sometimes though. I don’t really harbor any ill will towards individual developers. I think if you make decisions that impact an ecosystem it’s only natural that strong emotions will emerge.

- The main reason why GNOME solutions are not really landing that well is specifically because they are attacking the problem more from GNOME’s philosophical standpoint than from the standpoint of what is best for applications. KDE does not appear to be embodying the CSD initiative, which is actually Good for GNOME users, since KDE apps will likely feel a ton more native in GNOME as a result. Certainly more than GNOME apps do in KDE… but it also means that libdecor is kind of moot, because what we as app developers really want is one solution that gives us fully native basic window borders everywhere. And to do that, we need a solution that starts from the common ground (xdg-decoration) then goes into special cases (GNOME, Weston, etc.)

to be fair to yourself, I am a member on Stack Overflow and in the past 13 years, 0 interviewers have asked about or referenced Stack Overflow (other than jokes about how we use it to cheat). I hear leetcode is all the rage these days, in prepping for technical interviews.
I get angry when I see people spending a fortune on worthless crap (NFTs, designer handbags, watches that don't actually tell the time very well) when other people are living in poverty. Wouldn't it be better to spend some of that money on helping other people, rather than some ridiculous bauble that only impresses shallow people?
Entries in a company’s database do not a cryptocurrency make.

Maybe if they used an authenticated append-only list to store the state or state changes, and published a summary of the head periodically in a way such that users could at least validate that the state changes were valid, or at least not violate certain rules, that might count.

If cryptography isn’t used in order to make something verifiable, it isn’t really a cryptocurrency, I’d say.
Oh, I have been thinking about learning about reinforcement learning by trying to make a STS AI too, nice! I eventually gave up, but would still be interested in seeing what can be done. Do you plan on releasing something at some point?

About re-implementing the environment, it is probably worth getting in touch with STS major modders and even streamers (jorbs comes to mind...). In case you did not do that already.
Improving gender diversity in leadership by ‘opting-out’ of the default
As far as I know, the amount Spotify pays to musicians is pretty low. I doubt musicians are losing out on much by users rejecting tracking.
Other than occasionally promoting ethereum and connected scams that have been heavily invested in by SV VC firms HN has been pretty reliably negative on cryptocurrency.

Exactly. I can't visualize visual stuff, but for example, I can imagine and "see" code very well. I have a graph in my head of how various functions call each other or how data flows through the program. Sometimes the connections have different flavours/colours, such as build time, compile time, run time, frontend/backend/network call.
Yet another knock-off of Lustre. Lustre is not perfect, and I'm not suggesting it has a place in the mainline kernel, but it sounds like neither does BTRFS.

When you get to large scale (multi-petabyte) filesystems there are not many options, it's GPFS, Lustre, or roll your own. Lustre development has been indirectly sponsored by the DoE for a long time now. And if Lustre didn't exist IBM would charge even more for GPFS. But at least Lustre is free. But it's not a walk in the park to use.

The most annoying issue I have with my Synology is that when I accidentally pulled out the power cord, it seems to have forgotten its configuration. Only Synology support knows the commands required to get it all up and running, they sorted it remotely, BUT, I rebooted it and it promptly forgot its settings. They sorted it AGAIN, but said only way to sort it is to reformat and rebuild.

If it can be restored to normal functionality with a few commands, surely they should be able to save the configuration for subsequent reboots?

No data was lost, btw.
Honestly, agreed. Lemme take this back to the team.
