Thanks, I'm curious if any place with snarky signage even wants to actually attract applicants (and if they would even respond to applicants).

Second Open Letter to Greta Thunberg
I'd say the whole premise behind voting and democracy is not so much the people voting for something they “want”, but rather not voting for something they “object”. The voting process makes sure that the government doesn't go into the direction that most people don't want it to. Aside from that, government can do whatever it wants (popularly referred to as not honoring the election promises).
Shorthand, why I put (etc.) in there. I could list a lot of things like "security researcher" and here, "journalist." Good enough?
I am a Drupal developer for a government contractor. Management absolutely knows what the product is, and our PM knows the sites we build and maintain inside and out (both from a Technical and a UX/Design perspective). The pace is probably slower than a lot of devs are used to, and there are a lot of moving parts, but that is what it's like working around government hierarchy. I for one like the well-defined structure.

It absolutely does not suck. The people involved are not hotshot CS grads moving from FAANG to FAANG trying to get salary boosts every 6 months. They've been doing this kind of work their whole lives, and just want stability.

Also, that team in Transylvania are an excellent bunch of developers who've probably been doing CS since they were in middle school, so don't knock them for being foreign. Knock your company for offshoring their labor. Those Transylvanians are trying to make something of themselves and improve the standard of living in Romania. Case in point, I was one of them.

The main takeaway is that who doesn't suck to work for depends on what you want. You want money? The people giving a lot of money probably only care about you inasmuch as you produce something worthy of your salary. Beyond that (and whatever 'perks' they pretend to offer), they don't give a rat's ass about you. You want to feel like you're part of something? Get involved with a small-ish team in a mid-size company with long-term clients. Your life will be part of a team, the company won't have too much middle management, and long term clients mean long term goals.

You sound like a complete dick when you are behind the wheel. Please consider stopping driving. Your role as a driver isn't to correct other people's driving; it's to get you and your passengers somewhere safely, while keeping all other road users safe.
Is this a paradox? Because it sounds like you may end up there yourself.

NYC presents a lot of driving challenges not present in Phoenix. This must mean they are feeling more confident about how well their technology handles winter driving conditions and lots of pedestrians.
Simple search shows that there are 130 000 schools in the USA. Spending 10M to develop reasonable IT standards and 120M more on compliant software is just $1000 per school. And this is not a military software, it can actually be developed offshore by decent engineers earning half of that DBA salary (that is, you get 2000 _man-years_ of work for those money).
Conservatives are masterful at messaging.
Democrats were calling parents terrorists and sicking the FBI on them, all the while, allowing for those parents daughters to be literally RAPED by other kids in the school and not doing a fucking thing about it.

Actions have consequences. I don't think democrats have any clue how decimated their party is going to be in a few years.

Zuckerberg (2009): Facebook privacy is central you will always own your data
Every city in the state of California for many decades has failed to build enough housing to address the ever increasing demand for it and as a result people are losing housing. Every time rent increases significantly, homelessness increases significantly. The cost of housing in California cities and the Bay Area in particular has never decreased or even stabilized because we treat housing as an investment, keep it scarce through a number of local and statewide impediments to building, and expect outrageous returns on existing housing over time.

MLU-EXPLAIN: Visual explanations of core machine learning concepts
I don't have an internal monologue, but I do have that board meeting. Kinda makes me think of that Pixar movie, Inside Out. The whole 'board' doesn't meet all the time, mostly it's very quiet and I get an impression or two, a feeling really, here and there, but when I'm excited or enthusiastic about something, engaged in the moment and I'm presented with a problem to solve, it feels like most of the time a solution just comes to me. Like the board meeting had gone over all the possible options, decided on the best course of action rejecting improbable or difficult solutions, gathered up a dossier with executive summary, schedules, workload estimates, problem analysis, risk analysis, the works, all the details I need to implement the solution to a problem and hands the dossier to me, wordlessly saying "Here's our recommendation". And a lot of the time I just know I have the solution, how to get from A to B without consciously knowing all the steps in between, but knowing all the steps have been figured out and it's in the "dossier". I just need to do it, put it in words and explain to others.

Interestingly enough, I haven't been diagnosed with ADHD, at least not yet, but after discussions with professionals, it seems probable that I may have it, to some degree anyhow
One thing quick - this is incredibly subjective. I've worked in some amazing companies but there were always people on Glassdoor or Blind who found something to complain about.

People are fundamentally different. Someone may really enjoy structure and being told exactly what they have to do. Others want ambiguity and open-ended challenges. Some want stability, some want opportunity. So when you hear someone complain about a company (or praise it, I guess) it's important to ask yourself whether this person's values and interests are similar to yours.

Also keep in mind that people who are crushing it are much less likely to spend time talking about this stuff, while people who are not doing well/miserable have more incentive to vent. So often times it's not just subjective to the person but you're more likely to hear complaining than praise all other things being equal.
make, cmake and autoconf are not not part of the C language, they are build tools.
It's really hard to use these API's correctly.

Remember... your CPU can halt at any time for any number of milliseconds. That means simple things like:

upperBound, lowerBound = readTime()
if (upperBound<deadline)
do_stuff(x, y, z)

Are incorrect... There is no guarantee that the 'if' statement didn't take many milliseconds, and that the stuff didn't end up happening after the deadline.

It's also very easy to write code that works, but is theoretically wrong. You will leave a hidden bug that may only rear its head years down the line.
The sad truth is that the people in this situation lack shame. They lack the sadness that you feel when you see the way they live. They will take what you give them, and then they will take more. They will make you feel guilty for not giving enough. They will steal from you when you’re not looking. They will make you realize that beyond the external features towards which you empathize, there’s nothing inside. To whatever extent they were once alive, they’re gone now. The living dead. Their only remaining use is to be the partially sentient puppets of a childish political fantasy.
I think I would have rather seen a version of Foundation written by Aaron Sorkin.
No, it's not factually false, those fall in the "pile of hacks" I mentioned, and none of them work in all cases, some of them are highly dependent on driver support which is spotty. I can show you various bug reports from the last few years of people still complaining about tearing. This problem is not even remotely close to being solved in X and I don't think it ever will be. Again just look at the bug reports.

Meanwhile, if you plumb atomic page flipping through the whole system and make it mandatory, the chances of having tearing are pretty nonexistent. But you have to drop legacy stuff from X if you want to do that.
Your role in this game is to get angry at the stupidity of the governor. Your prize is rage. The winning strategy is not to play, let the courts battle this crap. If you want to do something, donate to the EFF or another organization or this prof’s legal fund (if he has one?).
> knives and cleavers

or vans here in Canada.

According to the FBI homicide stats for US, 297 people were murdered by a rifle in 2018 in the US.

1,515 on the other hand murdered with knives, 443 from blunt hammers, 672 with hands, feet:

EDIT: I specifically stated "rifle" not all guns. Because saying we need to take away all guns is pie in the sky thinking. Dems run on "taking away AR-15" but the stats show that isn't going to achieve anything.

In 2008, there were 800k-3 million defensive uses of guns.

> Stop letting them use gun control to ignore the underlying issues in the community.

I'm glad we agree that poverty is the root cause of gun violence, but realizing that does nothing to stop gun violence. Poverty isn't something that can be solved with the snap of a finger, although I certainly think we are on the right track. What do you think we should do to stop gun violence in the mean time? Nothing is a valid answer, but I don't think it's acceptable to a majority of people in this country.
Is everyone who works in the defense industry then evil? I don't get why tech companies are special in this regard.
i think people lose hope, when they get a little further in life or make a step towards progress and tell people. a lot of west coast people (i live in seattle) have a hard time celebrating peoples small gains. it's all about posturing for them, they care because it makes them fit in but when it comes to actually treating people like they are human, they don't, a lot of people in these big tech cities are using each other to get ahead and if you cannot offer someone some type of nugget for them to get ahead, then you might as well be useless or homeless to them. i've witnessed it in my own career, a lot of people fear people who are struggling, even if that person never ask them for anything, they will ghost you or belittle you.

it's only a matter of time before the judgement comes for those people. like you can't treat people like they are trash because when you are down on your luck, karma or your consciousness will prevent you from getting the help you need. it's important to remember that not all these people are on drugs, some are broken, like sad broken, or a ton of mental illness. but yeah there are people on drugs, most people don't turn to drugs for fun, they turn to drugs because they are miserable and want to feel something. just like alcohol. people use drugs to avoid their situation, also why change when everyone thinks you'll never change? it's like the world has issues with forgiveness, mercy, empathy, kindness and are judgmental because they fear that poverty is contagious.
by this logic, anything anyone ever does is due to their "shitty environment". what an insane way to absolve people of all personal responsibility.
It is absolutely insane how hard-left this forum has gotten just in the past 2 years.

HN has always leaned left because of the super majority of tech being concentrated in the SF Bay area which is one of the leftiest parts of the country.

However, it is absolutely DISGUSTING the amount of people that are 100% in favor eternal mask mandates, lockdowns and forced vaccinations, a.k.a. VIOLENCE. All the people on this site advocating for that VIOLENCE should be ashamed of themselves.
Since releases are like once every 6 weeks, its available for ~3 months. What happens when I buy say a new computer in March 2022? Or if I buy one soon, and it arrived in March 2022? I can't apply this Firefox theme because it was available for a limited amount of time?

Everything is available for a limited amount of time. But this is too limited.

I find this utterly ridiculous. Its self defeating. Why would I get used to a feature which is going to unavailable in 3 months? Sure, it stays available if you selected it [1] but what happens if you reinstall your OS or get a new device?

Given its FOSS though, wouldn't it be possible to re-add this feature, even as themes? After all, its just a theme pack. Or is it proprietary?

[1] Supposedly, you could export your profile directory or something like that. But perhaps they're gonna make it available via a subscription in 3 months. Which is their right.

can you share a link, I'd like to learn more about this "organ shelf life". Very fascinating. Maybe I was mistakenly applying the sudden death of the brain without blood perfusion to hold likewise for every other organ. Like a heart attack when blood ceases to flow into it turns the myocardium to scar tissue. But that must not be an instant process, probably takes some time. I know temperature can keep tissues viable longer too, so that's another variable to consider.
"we're not there just yet" is a political decision, not a scientific one.
Show me someone who opposes single-payer healthcare, unions, affordable college costs but also believes that the second amendment did not and does not constitute an unfettered right to do more or less anything with guns. I'll wait. Until the right stops viewing the 2nd amendment as the benchmark issue, progressives will continue to see their position on it as just another part of their uniform opposition to a more modern society.
Sure, but how about a clueless puppet you can have a drink with in the office?
> Nothing drives more people to crime than feeling like they are in a hopeless situation.

Couldn't agree more, which is why eliminating poverty was the first solution I said. We're doing that. Unfortunately it takes decades to work because of the shit family dynamics that exist. Should we just let gun violence run rampant until then?

This is also my experience with risk audits in IT: you get asked a lot of stupid questions and spend a lot of time engaging in extreme hypotheticals, but in the end there are always one or two “hmmm I hadn’t thought of that” moments which lead you to significantly increase your security.
FreeTheSandBox – Free the Sandbox Restrictions from iOS and Android
It is an extremely difficult idea to put in practice: people who historically haven't voted, especially in local elections, are notoriously difficult to convince to vote. So even if you identify a situation where you can appeal strongly to the average non-voter, that is super hard to turn into a win.
I want to preface this by saying I would strongly heed the advice of version_five. All of the most toxic work places I've been at had cheerleaders that would tell you it was amazing.

I have struggled with this issue for years and my approach was to build some heuristics based on where I've been happiest. I fundamentally believe the job landscape now for developers is just systemically worse than it was a decade ago, but these are things I've learned:

- Are you treated with respect throughout the interview. All the companies I've been happiest at had interviews that were basically extended conversations (even if they had coding challenges). I always felt comfortable and respected, different answers than expected where treated with curiosity rather than skepticism. Above all else you need to honestly ask "are these people I want to work with everyday"?

- B2B targeting larger customers tends to be much better than direct to consumer. Every "customer focused" team I've worked with is ultimately driven by a single moronic KPI, and ends up spending all of their energy trying to cheat users while convincing themselves that this is really good work. Large B2B contracts last for years and have a lot of revenue associated with them so there more room for thoughtful product development.

- How important is engineering as you climb the ladder? Is technical leadership (especially above you) really technical? Are they the kind of people that still like hacking on projects, solving technical problems? At my happiest companies technical competence continues up the ladder as far as it can. Your direct manager should be someone that hacking on an unsolved problem with would be fun.

- How financially healthy is the company? This doesn't mean "do they have a lot of funding", in my experience funding without fundamentals leads to weird behavior product wise as teams rush to please investors and come up with ways to survive. If investors and leadership and genuinely happy with the company there is a lot less pressure to do strange product things.

- I used to think smaller companies were my favorite, but have found that a good small team in a large company can be just as good if not better.

After several runs at some of the worst companies in my career I also felt it was impossible to find anything that was enjoyable. I'm currently at a place (that I won't name) where I finally enjoy going to work again, and feel no interest in dusting off my resume anytime soon. This above rules helped a lot with that.
Well, it doesn't change the fact because it's too busy documenting the fact in the first paragraph.

OpenBSD's page calls them "curiosities from before the days of virtual memory management" in the first paragraph, without mentioning that they are missing in any targets. (Still, they are entirely compatible with virtual memory management.)

> "For the record, there was a conspiracy according to the 1949 U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in UNITED STATES v. NATIONAL CITY LINES, Inc., et al. "

That conspiracy was a conspiracy to monopolize bus operations, not a conspiracy to replace streetcars with buses. The streetcars themselves were replaced largely because the streetcar companies had already failed and were bankrupt, and the lower maintenance costs of buses vis-a-vis streetcars made them a better route to maintaining public transit.

Such a theory (this really refers to the Texas-specific 5 state theory upthread; your “any number” theory, which presumably is the same theory that applies to any State, is valid, but not unilateral like the 5-state theory) exists, but it requires starting with a dubious interpretation of the act annexing Texas, and then flatly ignoring the act admitting Texas.
