When you tweet about a company you're about to join, maybe tagging them for good measure, it's like focusing the eye of Sauron on yourself. Unless your timeline is completely inoffensive and bland, maybe wait until you've started... or maybe just don't.
For me it's the repetition in horizontal tasks. Need to update TLS version? Need to move to a new region? Need to add i18n? You have to do these things 20 times instead of one.

There are a lot of leaked nude selfies on the net 0 like a lot. It makes me wonder how many we were leaked the same way these were.
For a company to be a Platinum Partner you'd need so many points, and the points are calculated by looking at how many of your people have which certs. Which certs were needed varied on which company you wanted to partner with. Microsoft and Cisco were the most common I saw.
I think the main gist of WebGL and WebGPU is that they run in the browser. If you are going to run it on the server and care about performance, why not use native drivers instead of headless WebGL access? Is code-sharing between browser and server the main reason?
The inverse of this doesn’t hold unfortunately. Blackwater sounded like a load of bad guys and behaved like it too.

I have the opposite experience: reference calls are done BEFORE giving an offer, so you don't have to undo the offer or put yourself in an awkward situation like stripe has done.

Yes, you should be careful about which references you use, and if you're going to use current colleagues/managers, to let them know you're searching ahead of time (normally you should ask before selecting someone anyhow--so it shouldn't be a surprise).

I would actually love a 4.5 day workweek, where the half-day is up to the employee to take.
I'd like to remind everyone that it's totally okay to do the first 10-15 days and leave the really hard stuff to people who are smarter or maybe have more free time. The first few days will still be fun.

I'm checking out Elixir this year, because I write 95 % Ruby at work and I'm getting really intrigued by the functional stuff seeping into it.

Delta was first detected on india where at that time there was barely any vaccination coverage. And nobody knows from where omicron originated. You claim it could be leaky vaccines but it could have easily been from an immune compromised individual. Do you have any sources for the claim it was first found in a vaccinated individual ? I couldn't find any online

Ask HN: Where can I learn about programming SIMD and branchless programming?
I was really impressed by this simdjson library’s performance: https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson

But I had never heard of this kind of programming using SIMD and “branchless” programming. Does anyone know of a resource where I can learn how to do this kind of programming?

More on this style of programming in this thread from the contributors to simdjson: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22754841
Who even collects references nowadays?
I hope more people read this comment. I think there is a common misconception that we're hoarding vaccine while people in 3rd world countries are begging for it. That's just not true as far as I can tell. The vaccine hesitancy seems to be universal. I guess we can blame the internet for that too.
I for one want that 5% to have interesting challenges, even if I can't be a part of that 5%. Unique achievements should be meaningful and celebrated, not removed for fear of upsetting the majority who cannot achieve them.
> I've got no horse in this, it's not my industry and I'm just a spectator. But two days ago I thought of Stripe as a top notch company, with top notch leadership.

No dog in the fight either here, but that's exactly what those who posted these stories recently are trying to do. You saw some bit of news and then totally changed your perception. That's how this thing works. Those tiny bits of negative news just stick in your mind.

What were your priors? Stripe pays well, has a great product, leadership is great, hires top-tier developers, is a great place to work, etc. (making stuff up here idk what your priors were) but all of that is erased because you saw a random article about two people having offers rescinded and you don't even know if it's true?

What if all of the above priors were true and it was also true that two people had offers rescinded? Do they not have top-notch leadership because two people had offers rescinded? Is that enough to sway your opinion?

Best course of action here IMO is to wait and see more evidence. If you had a weak opinion either way why have one. If you had a strong opinion is this strong evidence to change all of your priors? Plenty of companies rescind offers, they just aren't making it to the front page (Google, AirBnB, etc.).
Communication, collaboration, strategy and analysis, perseverance, leadership.

I couldnt tell if you were serious or joking, or a mix of both. I think in part because I had the same reaction when I heard about microservices. I thought:

"Uh... we had that back in the early 2000s at least, they called it SOA back then."

And yes we learned back then how painful and complex that kind of architecture was to reason about and support, compared to a simple monolith.

Monolith is truly king unless obviously you're at FAANG scales. 99%+ of shops are many orders of magnitude below that scale.
This is bizarre victim blaming. People tweeting their excitement about joining a company is totally normal and if anything should show they are someone who will also probably amplify the company’s social marketing.

Evolution only corrects as much as is required for reproduction; and as far as reproduction is concerned, avoidance is just as good of a response as tolerance.

Humans have evolved to cope with lactose and alcohol. Getting sick is that response. This is the same in how we've evolved to live with fire. Not because evolution can magically make us invincible to chemical combustion -- instead we have pain receptors and learn to avoid it.

Going on a tangent here, but I'd say Jean Renoir was as good at making movies as his father was at being a painter, imo he was even more important for the history of the art of cinema than his father was the history of painting as an art.
https://fishtail.ai | REMOTE | Full-time | Data people (science/eng/devops) + backend/frontend/full stack

We are a super un-sexy, VC-backed, revenue-generating, Trade Finance automation company (think Pipe for the real world) that's bringing the the $10tn Trade Finance space in to the 21st century.

The problem we're solving

When Walmart gives La Croix a $100k order for seltzer, not only does Walmart not pay after receiving goods for 3-4 months but La Croix has to cover the cost of actually making their goods for a bunch of time (months). As a small business, this sucks hard. Fishtail will lend to La Croix when they get an order from Walmart so they can satisfy demand without tying up huge amounts of working capital. Usually banks will lend to folks only when the product makes it to Walmart (and only to large companies, who don't traditionally need $) -- the net effect of Fishtail is that we lend earlier in the chain to smaller businesses (which is a super duper hard problem).

Tech stack

Our web stack is Ruby on Rails + turbo/stimulus/tailwind - data stack is python/pytorch + spark. We get a boatload of data tracking every vessel in the water/every plane in the sky (among other datasets like every trade transaction that has happened over the past N years).

Fun fact

We have a sustainability-linked trade finance product where we can tie the interest rate of our loans to the sustainability of the individual shipment (i.e. the greener the shipment, the better your interest rate) -- this is super nifty when you consider that transportation is responsible for ~30% of the world's green house gas emissions and there's really no good way to identify the best option to get from A to B.

What we need

We're looking for support taking our product to the next level on all fronts (engineering, data, sales, marketing, operations, etc) but are mostly looking for more data people and web people to help us build out our credit/performance risk models + customer-facing product.

Reach out to hiring@fishtail.ai if you want to help small businesses win while saving the planet with us.
That's a great tool, thanks for the recommendation. Pity it doesn't work with Ecosia's image search. I wrote my own extension to remove Pinterest from image results, and I've been thinking of extending it to block Instagram and Facebook too. I hate how these companies point their sewer pipe at search engines, so you get into a walled garden where you have to sign up to see the indexed content.

> What certs are they typically looking for partners to have?

In the products they're selling.

> certs are a low-effort (on their part) way to weed out

When private companies offer cert training, it's mainly a PR and lock-in strategy. It's also to form a registry of graduates for further outreach. Education is on the list, but not as high as you'd think, since certs are "all about the vendor."

(A market research firm did a presentation on vendor cert strategy at one of the O'Reilly conferences. Think of cert training primarily like an alternate marketing propaganda arm.)

A concrete example is when IBM's top Logical Volume Manager (LVM) trainer retired, IBM offered a free certification for anybody who attended his last class, held for free in San Jose. They emailed me for months later about becoming a partner consultant (sales engineer), which was the whole point of the training from their perspective.

Fantastic class, BTW. For a brief moment I was one of the top experts in the world on LVM, used on several Unix-like systems, including Linux. :)
Also, you can be strategic, the weekend ones are built to be longer than the weekday ones, so there's still some fun to be had later on even if you get stuck.
Rescinding accepted offers ever is a pretty big impact on my priors. Uber did it during the recession and that has still impact my priors around working there.

I keep careful track of companies that do this and I will never stop interviewing if I get an offer from a company that does. That is bad because it means I'm more likely to renege on their offers last minute.
Anecdotal on my part, but I interviewed with them earlier this year. I was told by the recruiter (an internal recruiter, to be clear, not a third-party), in no uncertain terms, that their interview process did not involve "leetcode-style problems" and would, instead, be a "real world problem" close to what an engineer might be expected to solve normally.

I was told (and this was reflected in the interview prep materials they provided) that bringing my own IDE and screen-sharing was the norm, although they would be prepared with a collaborative online editor as backup. It would be a collaborative session where the interviewer would work through the problem with me (obviously with myself in the driver's seat).

I was reasonably excited. Finally, a tech firm that didn't cargo-cult leetcode hazing.

And then came the interview.

I leave it to the reader to guess at the nature of the problem (hint: it starts with 'l'). The interviewer also seemed entirely unprepared and surprised that I was prepared with my own IDE. They were also unwilling to collaborate, and unwilling to accept how I approached solving the problem (I like to write experimental pseudo-code out first as I think through things, especially when in an environment where drawing things out isn't easy. I let them know that was what I was doing and explained my thought process as I wrote it, and yet they kept interrupting and explaining that I could clean that code up... code that was not meant to be "final" or "complete"...)

It was just a terrible experience from beginning to end. From the recruiter presenting an interview plan that was clearly not in line with reality, to the interviewer being unprepared for what their own interview prep materials described (BYOIDE!), to the interviewer's unprofessional and very unhelpful demeanor (if day-to-day engineering at Stripe involves being berated at every step as you prototype a solution to solve a leetcode problem before preparing to write the actual solution...well, maybe they should fix that)
This 100%. If I was spending days of my time on a company only to be treated poorly, I should not be a statistic.

This is also why honest feedback for rejections should be required (by law? probably not. maybe by social pressure) so candidates know that the decision wasn't just a fluke
> Regulation, as well, is not execution.

This is an opinion that was not widely held for most of the last 100 years or so.

> Thomas's concurrence on Whitman v. American Trucking Ass’ns signals where things might go.

Definitely agree that our legal regime looks headed for major changes. I consider it likely that SCOTUS will reverse itself on a set of major principles, creating uncertainty for citizens and businesses until a new equilibrium is reached.
Free versions of things are what has made current internet culture possible.

Considering Ghibli hasn't been active in cel-based animation production for a few years in the feature film space, it's entirely possible that after this next movie they won't be doing much cel animation anymore (unless Miyazaki Hayao ends up making another movie when he's 90). Though it would be great if they could use their resources to become an incubator or sorts, to find talent that might be able to keep the spirit alive.

Goro probably needs to find his own niche, he had the pressure on him too early in his career. His work inside Ghibli the last few years also has been computer animation based, so it's clear that Ghibli as a company overall is actually larger and more flexible than what it sounds like in these Miyazaki Hayao-focused articles.

I'm curious of others' thoughts on Shinkai's "Kumo no Mukou, Yakusoku no Basho" (which was given the unfortunate title of "The Place Promised in our Early Days" ) which was Shinkai's first feature-length work. I actually resonated quite a bit with the characters and their project, though I could see how the angst that develops between them could be construed as overblown. It's not long enough of a movie to fully develop the "what" and "why" but I think it covers the most critical aspects. It's also quite pretty, but that's something shared with everything else he's worked on- the focus in particular on light and reflection, and skies. I met him at a convention a while back and asked about what influenced his style of handling light and color in skies and his answer was basically that he used to spend a lot of time outside (which makes sense, he's from Nagano which is quite mountainous and known for being very scenic).
Anyway, Shinkai has only ever treated one subject- distance between people- from various angles, and has only directed films he also wrote himself.
There is a lot of cheating on interviews that is happening due to questions being posted before hands on Shanghai and Beijing based websites like leetcode and 1point3acres. Interviews are broken down round by round with very specific answers and guidelines so people can get an upper hand over other candidates who do not have access to these answers. Hopefully Stripe is detecting it and rescinding offers. Stripe is the number one searched company on 1point3acres.
Hmm, at least when I was swing dancing .... most dancers just had shoes they like resoled. I never did it myself, as I had found some that worked, and I wasn't doing it often enough to wear them out.
