I'm very capitalistic and libertarian, but reality is all systems need to manage edge cases. Minimum wage is a part of that. To believe that the market can figure everything out requires serious tunnel vision.

Not exactly a stretch, as far as an investment thesis is concerned.
I bought 2 "refurbished" Google Assistant smart speakers from Ebay over the last year or so. Bought of them came still logged in to their prior owner's Google accounts. All that was necessary on the part of the refurbishers was to spend a few seconds doing a factory reset (which was the first thing I did at my end), but even that was too much to ask, apparently.
Good points, but bcachefs does not have releases (ZFS has versioned releases) or a development team.

(Obviously I'm not comparing anything to Bepsilon - they are irrelevant until implemented as an actual linux filesystem)

Out of curiousity, what (besides criminal activity) would cause a candidate to fail a background check done by a software company?
While that may be true regarding Germany, and it's understanding of Cyber by law and politicians in general, Hamburg is really special. Special as in consecutively used as free haven for any clown to have their ridiculous claims pushed through by clowns. To be canceled by the next instance higher up, often. I can't decide if I should laugh, or cry :-(

This gives such a bad image. They should be ashamed!
It's fine for simple things. I referenced it a lot when I was first learning JS and HTML because it was usually at the top of Google results. I think MDN is strictly better.

HN is a tech forum, with tech needs. The word "database" conjures up a specific image in our minds. And THIS is NOT what I had in mind when I read "database".

Mind you, this is a perfectly valid use of the word "database", and I appreciate having my mind expanded.
Possibly the shape. The symbol/icons for a phone are still old style corded phones, even an an iPhone.
The modules are the same price... just out of stock in perpetuity.

A few months ago I'd find some here and there at Micro Center, but they've been out of stock for months.

If you're patient you can get them at list price, though—I ordered the four 8GB Lite modules I used in the video over the past year, from two different suppliers.
I'm not saying I agree with it, but it is an observation. I'm pro nudity, and think it should be normalized. And I'm atheist. And live in Norway, where nudity isn't as big of a deal. I lived the first 30 years of my life in the midwest US, though, in small to medium towns.

But come on, I'm sure you can find examples of folks putting down others for it. It isn't common for politicians to have nudes, at least not in the states. Melania trump had her nudes used against her (put as degrading her character): Janet Jackson had people outraged over a nipple. Facebook doesn't allow nipples. Heck, even further back, I remember folks in high school shaming a singing group (TLC?) for having nudes printed in another country (the cover wasn't even showing breasts as hands covered them).

Getaround | Senior Backend Software Engineer (Python) [Multiple Openings] | Full-Time | Remote-first with San Francisco, CA HQ Collaborative Space (US, near Pacific Time) | https://getaround.com

Getaround connects safe, convenient, and affordable cars with people who need them to live and work. Our community includes guests who rely on our cars for on-demand mobility and hosts who share cars on our platform including those who operate their own car sharing businesses. Our connected car technology allows guests to book and unlock a wide variety of vehicles directly from our app without ever having to meet anyone in person, carry an access card, wait in line, or coordinate picking up keys.

Cars are parked 22 hours a day on average. When we share cars, we don’t need as many on the road, which means fewer accidents, reduced traffic, and less space required for parking. Car sharing modernizes mobility by allowing people to connect multiple forms of efficient transportation for any type of use case.

Studies show that when car sharing is available, people drive less and drive vehicles more appropriate for their use case, which can reduce household carbon emissions by up to 40%. Also, shared cars are used more frequently and retired more quickly, accelerating the adoption of newer, more energy-efficient vehicles.

We support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to “make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable”. To learn more, take in this short video featuring Getaround as part of the Vision 2045 campaign: https://youtu.be/VPKsANLTawI

Yes, but it's interesting to contrast with alcohol sickness. The reason people without lactase get sick from lactose is because the lactose passes most of their digestive tract intact, and is then broken down by bacteria in their intestines, releasing gas, causing mechanical pressures on their intestines that are perceived as pain and other symptoms.

In the case of alcohol, our body detects the alck of balance and other neural impacts, classifies this as a poisoning, and it tries to provoke vomiting to eliminate as much as possible of the poison. It's explicitly an adaptive response that we developed to survive consumption of poisonous substances.

I once heard the Bluetooth stack referred to as a "layer cake of sorrow" and I think that's a pretty fitting description.
So far we don't have enough data to say how it compares to previous variants. Even with the other variants, most cases are mild and it can take several weeks to start seeing the more severe cases getting worse.
Each board has a UART header exposed, and through the MCU it can be rebooted / flashed over the network. Full GPIO is only exposed in a 40 pin header on node 1, though.
250kb over <25 requests should really be an established standard at this point. It's not difficult to achieve and makes a massive difference in energy usage and server requirements for high traffic sites. There are plenty of <25kb frontend frameworks, and some of them are arguably better than their >100kb competitors.

I recently made a site that frontloads an entire Svelte app, every page and route, entirety of site data (120kb gzipped), all of the CSS and a font full of icons, a dozen images, service worker and manifest. Clocks in at exactly 250kb, scores 100 on LH, fully loads in 250ms uncached, and all navigation and searching is instantaneous.

That's not a brag, it just goes to show that anyone can make sites which are bandwidth and energy friendly, but for some reason very people actually do that anymore.
"Taking off" and "Stadia" in the same sentence seems... out of touch. Interesting ideas all around, and great engineering challenges. But these things aren't rocketing into the stratosphere of public acceptance and adoption.

It's common-sense in that the large majority of medical professionals agree that those measures are a good idea. Those ideas are non-controversial amongst experts.

Great podcast, I also recommend it regularly to others. The one thing that gives me comfort is that in modern times we have an unprecedented ability to manipulate our environment unlike those previous civilizations. Not enough rainfall to water the crops? Fear not, we can pipe water in from other places, synthesize it from sea water or extract it from extreme depths. I believe our civilization will have extreme challenges in the future but our current technological abilities are really quite staggering.

That reminds me of the signup process for the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS), which is used for things like estimated tax payments in the US. It's not quite as bad since you don't actually need to print & post the form, but they do insist on snail-mailing a code you need to complete the signup process, so registration takes much longer than necessary. All this to set up an account so that you can pay them!

The reasoning is probably the same in both cases: They want to know that you can receive mail at the given address. There are faster ways to confirm that, though, such as uploading an image of a recent utility bill in your name.
These definitely aren't what the OP are talking about. They focus on original content but the quality is not great.

We're actually seeing this with massive labour shortages in traditionally low paying fields. People did better off government hand-outs and then didn't ever go back to these roles at the offered wages.
There is also no specification for "AI".
This was my initial gut thought, but an employment lawyer helped me seee that most healthcare workers are not university or college educated and they are basically lower middle class.

In other words most healthcare workers share the same demographics as those who currently have low uptake on the vaccine.
It's sort of a double prompt scenario since the FileSystemAccessAPI requires users to actually select the file/directory for the web app to use. You can save the file handles into IndexedDB in which case the user will only be prompted if they refresh the page to authorize the web app to continue using that file/directory.

From my use of it, the only real vulnerability I see is that Chrome still considers anything from file:// to be the same origin. This means as a developer you absolutely should not be saving file handles to IndexedDB if you are loading your app via file:// instead of https://. This is a pretty niche use case, but I do think static html "apps" are an underappreciated form for distributing software and this new API makes such apps a lot more powerful.

I wrote a plugin for TiddlyWiki that lets it operate really smoothly using this API https://github.com/slaymaker1907/TW5-browser-nativesaver that demonstrates why this API is worth the trouble.
That's fine. Just put in one request to wipe it, and if/when the device comes online, it'll get wiped. If it doesn't come online, then the attacker is sophisticated enough to predict that, and used something else (USB) to pull files off the phone.

But since the old phone was still on OP's "Find My Phone" account, and was successfully pinging the service, clearly it had been connected to WiFi, so a queued remote wipe should have worked.

Sure, this won't catch all cases, but if you are unable to factory-reset a broken phone before sending it in, it would be useful to instruct the customer to queue a wipe online instead. Not perfect, but better than nothing.
A Famous Argument Against Free Will Has Been Debunked (2019)
I ordered a copy of my background record and holy shit was it missing a lot of information. High schools jobs were listed, college work study jobs were listed, 15 years of employment was missing, followed by small patches of employment here and there. My credit record was only marginally better, it didn't have any employers listed of my 14 years working abroad. If it wasn't on my CV no one would know. And since some of these companies were merged, acquired, or out of business it's very hard to track down.

HR can realistically only check your last employer because anything older than a few years may as well be made up.
> Its because they want to attract the best talent.

When we are talking about minimum wage, you need to consider the people with the worst talent. Think sweatshops in China, construction camps in Dubai, prostitutes in the US. Not Google or Facebook employees.

> ...I think of the coding challenge as a way to understand what kind of code can I expect from the candidate.

Sounds reasonable in general and especially if indeed the resulting code will be seen with constructive and qualified eyes, or better yet, a feedback on it will be given back to the candidate.

In contrast to that, too often there is too little meaning to creating such a hurdle, when it's just a gauge for discipline and compliance. This is especially true of junior devs, who still have tons of doubts and need direction and good examples to follow.

Wastefulness at interview stage may be an indicator of wastefulness of internal culture. Imagine a surprise of a new hire, who would readily jump into the new assignment ... just to later discover that it was shelved, or worse, was given just to keep him/her busy and "get used to the process".

It does give me pause, but do you really think there is no way to have both open algorithm and good results? What is users assessed sites as they used a search engine, and then this was broadcast back to the engine?

I have a feeling there is a way to introduce randomness to this search engine in a way that smooths out the game theoretic arms race of gaming an algorithm. This goes against our natural urge to have a fully deterministic algorithm which always brings the most pertinent sites right at the top. However, because humans are trying to bring order to things for their own benefit, throwing in chaos could prevent people from even trying to game the algorithm
Without single instance, an in process queue doesn't provide the same kind of functionality that a shared queue does and would probably introduce split brain kind of problems, no?

Too often economic thinking restrict from fun creations and discoveries
Though unfortunately the Mini-ITX space has been left do dangle for a few years now; most of the affordable (<300 money) boards have pretty old CPUs.

AMD hasn't had something new in that space for a very long time - E-350/450 based boards were just recently discontinued, and that was a 10 year old part. The only other boards still available seem to be re-spins to sell of 5-6 year old APUs. These were decent in their time, but time has moved on. The E-350/450 were also bundled with crappy southbridges which consumed way more power than the CPU itself - when you see one of these boards, the smaller, fanless heatsink is for the CPU, the big one for the southbridge.

VIA has been gone for some time.

All the Intel boards are 14nm or 22nm parts, usually from 2014-2017. Newest boards seem to use the J4125 - a Goldmont refresh from 2019.

Intel at least offers some newer stuff in the NUC form factor (though at much higher prices as well). NUCs are pretty non-standard form factor though and offer PCIe only through M.2, so for I/O you'll need an awkward M.2-to-PCIe adapter with a cable. AMD really only has that 4700S kit (which uses a PS5 SoC with defective iGPU as I understand it) at around 400 currency. The 4700S seems to have ridiculous idle power draw (~80 W - maybe power management for the GDDR and other parts are disabled together with the iGPU).

There are some ARM boards now with PCIe. The RPi CM4 has a PCIe 2.0 x1, which is not a lot but maybe good enough for some use cases. The RockPro64 has an PCIe 1.0 x4 slot; the RockPi4 has an extremely awkwardly positioned M.2 slot (same PCIe 1.0 x4, it's the same SoC as the RockPro64).

None of these are great options.
This seems like it could be survivor-ship bias; i.e. your highest margin jobs weren't those that had been sent abroad, they were the ones that failed after having been sent abroad.
I'll start. I found myself directing a company against my better judgement because of extraordinary reasons. It has cost my mental and physical health and I found myself surrounded by incompetence.

During a critical time and a low point for me, I resigned and I'm taking a year long sabbatical. I honestly don't care about writing code for other people anymore. And I'm done being paid to write yet another CRUD application.

My goal for the next 10 years is to work on my mental health, my well-being and on open source code, trying to improve the state of the Linux desktop. But first, I'll just do nothing for a long while.
We should consider thinking of those jobs not as lowest skill, but jobs where the workers have the lowest negotiating power.
I just want a search engine that will let me mark sites and links and let me search in that subset when I want so I can add curated sources to my little index.
