>> Please tell me where all these seniors are coming from, because we certainly couldn't find a single qualified one during twelve+ months of interviewing.

I'm not sure what the company's situation is but when I see these challenges, there are usually one of several issues:

1. Companies are expecting senior devs but not willing to give Senior pay

2. Companies are giving senior pay, perhaps on a national scale, but the pay is not sufficient for the region (e.g., 200k for a senior dev in the Bay Area is barely enough)

3. Companies are in an area w/o talent and are expecting relocations without sufficient risk permium given the cyclical nature of the tech job market

4. Expecting long hours but unwilling to pay sufficiently for employees to afford 24-hr childcare.

I was naive 20yrs ago. This may be obvious, but it wasnt obvious to me 20yrs ago, so let me address the three above common causes

1. There is a strong correlation between senior dev and mature lives -- senior devs often have children, mortgages, dental payments, college tuition. This means you cant give them ramen-pay. The typical response on HN is "well if you marry another person at FAANG..." -- ok let me stop you there. My wife doesnt work at FAANG. She's not an engineer. Most devs dont have spouses at a FAANG, so you cant rely on some mysterious FAANG spouse who's subsidizes your company's poor pay.

2. A to-remain-unnamed Series A company in the Bay cold-reached out to me offering 120k/yr cash for a Staff engr role. That works for three dudes in bunk beds eating ramen. Except I cant bunk with three dudes if I have two kids. Nor can our family of four stay in a studio apartment. Also, you cant pay rent with illiquid stock options in a series A firm even if the options vested already.

3. This is less obvious, because the current bull cycle has been so long. But dev jobs come and go. Companies die and new comapnies are born. This is fine in NY/SF but a major problem in some rural city. You cant easily uproot a family and move to middle-of-nowhere for a job that may only last a year. It is very disruptive to families. So you have to pay -- a lot -- to make up for this. Otherwise, few are willing to take the risk. If someone does take the risk, they may be commuting and maintaining two residences, so you have to overpay for that.

4. Senior devs often have children. School drop-offs, pick-ups, etc. If you want senior devs to work long hours, you need to pay sufficiently for them to afford 24hr child care. Or you give them flexibility, or you give them remote.

I dont think there is any mysterious job shortage or worker shortage. A lot of it is economics and the struggle of raising children, paying for school districts, death-by-a-thousand-cuts of medical copays/coinsurance, paying for childrens' braces, etc.
D's ImportC compiler already does this:

https://dlang.org/spec/importc.html#ctfe

It's a natural consequence of using D's semantic analysis for the C compiler.

I thought about removing it, because it's C, but then decided Vot De Heck and left it in. It's quite nice for the test suite for ImportC, too, as an executable doesn't have to be generated to check the semantics.

P.S. No keyword is required to make it work.

P.P.S. ImportC also allows forward references to declarations, another consequence of using D's semantic implementation.

Even if they are buying second houses, I highly doubt that boomers are having anywhere near as large an impact on housing markets in relation to large corporations and financial institutions that are buying more and more residential properties. These larger organizations are pinning the blame on boomers via PR, when there is really no comparison in who has more invested.

In my neighborhood, old people are investing their savings into houses and then rent them out. The hope is that they'll be able to live off the rent during their retirement. And since covid, people are more afraid of upcoming inflation, so housing prices grew even stronger in 2020 than in 2019.

Congratulations. What is your SaaS of 12 years called?

And in your HN bio some of the url domains do not work. FYI.

You also state that you can get angry (and bored). Would you still have publicized this if you were merely annoyed but not so angry.
It's probably that they can get exclusive podcasts, but not exclusive music. They want podcasts to be something that locks you into Spotify.
>doesn't produce a legally valid signature

Is there any place where it does? It seems ridiculous to me to treat copy-pasted bitmap same as real signature.
If you control the state, you're a statesman. The billionaire leadership caste of today holds a great deal of sway in society, but very little social obligation or connection to culture.
Something like 97% of the CCTV cameras in the UK are private, just like the one in the article.

The issue is he set it up without complying with GDPR rules. If you set up a CCTV system that can record public areas or land you don't own, the data collected needs to be reasonable and you need to notify people you're doing it so they can request to have images of them deleted. Any organisation running CCTV in a public area will likely have performed a DPIA, including police, local government etc.

Our right to privacy is a bit stricter than the USA. You don't have a right to privacy as such regarding photos taken from normally accessible public areas. If you're out taking photos in public then you won't have anything to worry about from a data protection perspective. However, if you're recording 24/7 or commercialising that data, you have to be more careful. If you're doing things like going up to people's windows and taking photos into their room or flying a camera drone at low altitudes over their private garden, you might also have problems. At the very least you should do a DPIA.

Also this fine may be overturned on appeal.

Side note: if you measure like for like, the USA probably has more CCTV installations per capita than the UK.

The Amazing Things You'll Do in the 'Metaverse' & What It Will Take to Get There
> There is a difference in someone collecting some stamps or cards and then reselling them later in live. And someone hooking a ipad game to a crypto coin which can be directly exchanged to USD

No, there isn't. Both are free market activities that are arguably arbitrary, but entirely within the realm of human hobbies and curiosities that sometimes yield profits for the participants.

> You farming your virtual garden for gems every 15 mins which can be translated to USD over time is a impact on society, and not a positive one.

It's entertainment value that is produced, and who are you to be the judge of what is positive or negative? It is entirely arrogant to declare for others what is positive or negative for society.

I grew up hearing the same thing about video games. Waste of time for kids, them being a dangerous exposure to violence, etc. etc. But meanwhile parents were wasting their lives away watching television because that was the thing for that generation. Games to me, were far more engaging and interesting and most importantly, interactive. And that interest in gaming eventually led me to become a software engineer, which has afforded me a very nice lifestyle and given me very solid job security. If I had watched television instead of venturing into the world of technology, I'd be worse off.

Later on in life, as an adult, I still play games. I sometimes spend significant sums of money on them, because they still provide enjoyment to me. Sometimes, I'll even spend a couple hundred bucks on a single game, because I want some cool thing in the game and that provides me joy. That is perfectly ok.

The fact that NFTs provide an interface for interconnecting these in-game items and making it easy to create ecosystems for things like creative character models or environments or mod experiences, is not subtractive in the least. It provides an outlet for creativity and a market for art and entertainment. And it does so in a way that does not enshrine or reinforce existing monopoly marketplaces, which are exploitative to the highest degree for both users and creative producers.
Honestly, both sides of this conversation seem pretty obnoxious.
Sometimes you really need to make sure there is no power flowing through your device, which you can't be sure of using software when you are trying to fix software problems. Of course I should have said recording devices and networking, rather than just cameras.

Also, true power off guarantees nobody is remotely activating eavesdropping on your device.
So many competing solutions. Yet I've never used one that worked on the first try. Wonder how this one is better than the others?
Hi! Author here.

> Please tell me where all these seniors are coming from, because we certainly couldn't find a single qualified one during twelve+ months of interviewing.

Are you looking for some niche skills? I've interviewed a number of candidates this year for a scale-up (senior Python devs) in Netherlands and I've talked to a lot of great developers, unfortunately most of the time they had a number of better offers that I could not match.

> I also haven't observed "remote work makes onboarding and training more challenging" in companies that are dedicated to their remote workforce (which is basically everybody right now?). I've been remote for almost 10 years.

I feel a lot of companies are not really "dedicated" to remote work, rather that they can't wait to bring people back to the office at least for 1-2 days a week.
I've seen a number of issues with remote onboarding - laptops coming late, issues with setting up the dev environment (and doing a debugging over Zoom for 2h). I've changed jobs twice during pandemic and in both cases I felt the companies still haven't figured out how to move all the new employee introduction to on-line.

Also, I can't agree more with your last 2 paragraphs, I have the same observations!
I could swear they used to have a button that allowed you to remove songs from playlists
Timothy McVeigh defecating obviously did not lead to the bombing. Him renting a box truck and buying farm goods directly led to it.

I don't think i'm the one making the false equivalency here.
Or, in other words, “how can we sell these idiots sugar pills”
>>> Apple Silicon M1 or nothing

I've used ARM based chromebooks. As well as ARM embedded boards running linux as a desktop. But I am intrigued by the Mac Mini M1 with 6K out. I wish I could get a demo of the 6K 32" Pro XDR Display. At $5K its hard to justify, but it looks like the only 6K monitor available right now ;)
I’m very curious about what you mean specifically around UI/UX creativity. I do agree with you though, which is why I’ve been trying to build an app that has more “creative” and non traditional UX elements.

I also feel that an ‘Ink-Board’ should replace the trackpad as we know it. Basically an E-Ink tablet that serves as a stylus, pointer and control input. So that we’re not limited to discrete inputs (as opposed to analogue inputs).

There’s a dead comment with a negative take about the YouTube comments being turned off, and I just wanted to point out - the conf is hosted in a really cool custom real-time conference mud, built by em lazer-walker. It’s a fun thing that is worth checking out
I don't think the sexism is separable from the Puritanism. The sexism built in to the religion and in the practitioners of it are reinforcing each other
That’s a standard, generic recommendation, but it hardly compares to recommending a blog you really like.

It would be like saying there are lots of good blogs on Substack, or lots of good books in the library. It’s true but not helpful.

What do you like?
Great point. "nationally, investors bought more homes than they sold in the first half of this year"
How would you measure it? At least, I don't see what way would be easy.
I'm in a similar situation at the moment. Somehow Spotify has decided that I listened to a bunch of Hindu music a couple of months ago and now over 50% of my recommended playlists and podcasts are in that genre.

Their refusal to let you delete history is just puzzling.
Recent firmware updates have disabled this workaround. Brother has joined the malfeasance club.
Efficient threading is always like that anyway? You have to push the parallization a bit up in level.

By the way, concurrent.futures in Python provides identical (almost) features for a process and thread pool executor, so either choice there can be handled the same way. I'm most fond of the executor.map() method for very easy parallelization of work-loops.
Democracy only works when the people governed are capable of forming a society; Americans today are mostly dependent and incapable of maintaining any sort of survival or supply chain without direction.

Do you think that the owners of the banking cartels, major tech companies, and military suppliers are one-to-one comparable with the founders of the United States? I hold no cult-like reverence for them, but the founders were well-learned, multi-lingual, and believed deeply in the structure of government and felt a responsibility to control the direction of the fledgling U.S. from the spotlight rather than from the shadows.
The strict aliasing rules look through typedefs (and const/volatile-qualifiers). It's possible to use char, signed char, and unsigned char, or any typedef thereof, or any typedef of any typedef, etc., to access any memory whatsoever.
The RSS reader, the search and commenting platform are all parts of the idea that to make blogs more accessible and more discoverable while protecting the privacy of readers and writers.

commoncrawl has too much data and it is pretty hard to sift through. I will stick with the current sources for now.

BTW, if you want to implement user commenting, maybe you can leverage my platform.

So were practical electric cars 20 years ago.
The systemic issue in my experience is the extraordinary flood of poor-to-mediocre candidates you get for entry-level roles...

I personally really hate college-gating admissions and would rather legally forbid that kind of discrimination (as far as, not allowing college to be on a resume). But it's impossible to deny that it helps solve a real filtering problem tech companies face.
Well that’s the thing, it doesn’t have the same behavior when I come from Google on my PC, or when I simply open it in a new tab or link preview in safari. It only happens when I directly click the link form Google in safari on my phone.
There is individual stupidity but there is also species stupidity. I’ve always felt that humans, living according to culture instead of nature (to oversimplify), are intelligent as individuals but moronic as a society. Ants and bees, etc, just the opposite
> There is a strong correlation between senior dev and live -- senior devs often have children, mortgages, dental payments, college tuition.

Maybe not though, considering how often the title “senior” is given out like candy to people in their 30s and even 20s.
Horrific CX. I'm sure if Ghost discovered a bug causing data loss it would become an engineering priority.

From a customer's perspective this is the same thing. This shows a complete lack of empathy with what customers feel when they use your platform.

Stories like these stick with me. When I evaluate using a product, hearing about customer pain like this makes it a no go. Similarly I've told friends that I wouldn't work for a company they've applied to based on bad c-level engagement with customers.

Stuff like this spreads. If you won't fix it for your customers sake, fix it out of self interest.
I like this idea, though i don't like that subfolders are displayed in the folder they are a part of

As well as while i like .txt, i can't embed images and links and for me that's a requirement sadly. Though i like the idea for purely text only note taking

A recommendation; I would think that those who this format would work really well for should have the ability to reference an image or video and have that as a "hidden" uploaded item (so that you could choose from the list of items in that folder) and have it referenced from that document
> And aside from SpaceX, no one has them yet.

I agree with you generally, but Rocket Lab in NZ is also reusing rockets.

I fully agree with you. I don't think the Divine Right of Kings is necessarily a good idea, but it blocks the formation of a warlord-driven society and restricts the right to rule to a single warlord.

Have you noticed that despite the popular sentiment among left-leaners in America today being anti-police and anti-military, the overwhelming majority of the police and military are right-leaning? Trust of the public safety has been put into the hands of people who are not necessarily loyal to the people that are giving them the trust.
If musk followed strict economics as implied by your premise, he would be launching disposable rockets with Boeing.

who knows what expense space X would be willing to shoulder to be sustainable... We are fortunate that it is still privately owned, and isn't legally obligated to pursue the financial interests of shareholders like all the other players in aerospace.
Dell XPS 15 9570.
That’s not true. I like the beginning of some songs, especially when listening to 20 min+ classical pieces, but not the end. A skip in that case doesn’t mean I don’t like it, but that I don’t want to finish it.
I believe that was a reference to the mars colony goal, not to protecting this planet
Replying to myself because I misremembered some of the particulars: The Environmental Impact Assesment was initially done for the rocket launch facility in 2014. All improvements and changes have been conducted as small or incremental changes, which require an amendment to the assessment, rather than a new assessment, a process with much less oversight. The fuel facility is being approved through the amendment process even though it represents a substantial change, and it has thus far excluded study of additional parts of the facility that will be required for it to function as presented.
Are we using HN to amplify Twitter flame wars? Submitting negative stories of people we don’t like?

This is not news it’s just red meat for clicks.
I think he's making fun of his past self, thinking he knew everything when he was younger.
I work for a big corp that hires lots of grads and it really isn't working out. The first year they take a lot more work than they produce, but start to get useful. People used to stay for 2-4 years so it was worth it for the company, recently people have been leaving pretty much after those first 12 months (this is pre-covid too). I used to spend a lot of time helping the grads but it really isn't worth it.
Sure enough, thanks! Looked it up and it seems like Engineer is the protected title, which plausibly would apply (Ingenieur formally).
Has hibernate been deprecated in Windows 11? Because I couldn’t get sleep to work properly on my less than year old Dell laptop but turning hibernate back on works perfectly. It actually turns the machine off. I’m not sure by what technical means it achieves that (I thought hibernate meant suspend Ram to disk and then turn off) but it works. In windows 10 you can use “Powercfg -h on” to turn it on.
Well if they want a "senior" dev a year or two out of college, there is no shortage of non-top5 college grads and bootcamp grads. If they are having a hard time, I suspect they are looking for true senior devs.
Oh that one does look cool. I'll certainly be giving it a try.
>Do nuclear power plants require stability to be safe?

Not any more or less than any other form of power generation, no.

Definitely more stable. This is the safest, most crime free/stable the world has ever been.

If you're looking for things in the way of tutorials, gamedev.net is generally a fairly good resource and they've also got a lot of articles/posts written on some more in-depth or interesting technical items:

https://gamedev.net/tutorials/

Another great way is just to browse through some open source games and just see how they're written and work. The OS Game Clones website is a good starting point for something in this realm as you can look through clones of games (sometimes even the original source the author has released) you may already be familiar with:

5x over the current baseline cost of fuel. The only studies I could find of doing this were using large scale bulk solar and not counting financing costs into the equation.

They found that if avoiding fossil fuel use (natural gas is the cheapest easily available Hydrogen source right now), and cracking water to get it, end to end energy efficiency is between 44-56% (as in electrical efficiency to theoretical available chemical energy in the fuel). Burning said fuel for energy (turbines being one of the most efficient ways) then varies from 40-63% efficiency, rockets can hit up to 70% efficiency (varies immensely by many factors).

So, getting what they need from a fossil fuel is up to 70% efficient. Getting what they need from a Sebatier process? 28-41% efficient (combined). Add in extra capital costs and maintenance of acquiring and running the equipment, about 5x more expensive fossil fuel evens out.

It’s potentially worse than that of course when you factor in potential increases in electrical rates if fossil fuels did get 5x, but there is nothing saying that would for sure happen. They presumably could run it during oversupply from a large solar plant, but that is already factored into those studies. If you’re doing it at scale, that ‘free energy’ won’t be free for long.
Yeah, she has me blocked too, because I called her out about some racist stuff she posted against Chinese people. I guess she's kind of an asshole. (I'm speaking here as a recognized expert in the field.)
I took his point to mean that scientific progress is recursive in a way; each new technology or improvement of a theoretical model enables the next person to build on that progress (assuming the direction they are heading is generally correct).

Where as in say art because, arguably and to a point, it’s value is dependent on the culture of the time and cultures change it does not experience this sort of long term compounding. I believe, as I am not an artist or have much experience in that domain, the tools to make art can and have improved but not in the same way as say the jump from industrial revolution to semiconductor for example (maybe photoshop, illustrator, and the like are the exception for digital art).
> Like Doobie Brothers followed by Nirvana.

What's inherently comical about this?

One of my least favorite experiences is having a radio station based on a song and getting nothing but songs that sound just like it.

Unless you have only played 90s grunge or 70s soft rock I'm not sure why this juxtaposition is not considered a feature.
