I think junior and intermediate developers get a lot more noise from recruiters as they form the bulk of the dev community. Recruiters are just in a frenzy to stack the ranks, where with more senior roles you have less positions to fill and the talent pool is even smaller... and I dare say most of the higher positions are filled via connections/nepotism etc and not using recruiters to bulk-fill.

Most of the devs I know have never used any recruiting companies, since they are not required to "get in the door" in my country. Its just not part of the culture. I personally have used one once, about 5 years ago as an experiment... I'm still at the same company, so there's that. I don't have linkedin. I had an account many years ago but it was spammy and wasting my time so deleted that account and have never been back on it.
I work for a SPC (Social Purpose Corporation) that aligns with my values, which is a huge QoL improvement compared to some of the earlier things I have worked on.
Thinking is not one skill, it is the totality of your cognition and its uses. There are no shortcuts to take, learn philosophy, science, art, but before you can do that you have to learn how to doubt yourself and to make yourself receptive to arguments.
This is wildly inaccurate. Senior in Google is 350k, in Microsoft 260k, in Amazon 340k. "Early mid-career" is also wildly inaccurate. While the ladder in Google goes up to 11, 90% of people never exceed 5 (senior). It's also the last level where your primary responsibility is designing and developing software, everything above that is about influencing.
In my opinion, there is a difference between living in a country where all salary information is assumed public (and all personal decisions taken accordingly), and a country where salary information was kept confidential from people around you until it was abruptly made public without notice.

I am really trying to understand how both situations could feel the same to you but...I guess I would need some help convincing.

Same thing for me. I last changed my master password on Oct 4 2021. password never used elsewhere and stored only in my head, which makes me suspect a bad chrome extension.

Someone just used your master password to try to log in to your account from a device or location we didn't recognize. LastPass blocked this attempt, but you should take a closer look.

I'm surprised that almost nobody asked how we can make sure this doesn't happen again. Do not buy smart speakers (I don't) doesn't qualify as an answer.

One idea is "do not speak with strangers and Alexa is a stranger." Hard to enforce and furthermore somebody living with you all the time is not a stranger, by definition.

Amazon-side is probably very difficult unless they can truly filter out dangerous answers. But danger is relative and contextual. I don't expect that an AI with probably no memory can be good at that.
Only on those days when it stopped for a full 24h (adjusting that for leap second as appropriate).
Reader mode works very well with this one if you want the barebones version.
I didn't like the Django philosophy. So it was FastAPI vs Flask RESTful. People kept saying FastAPI was the next big thing, but nothing can beat Flask documentation and the FastAPI community and documentation felt like, "you ought to know that before you ask".
Yes, if you think about it it's weird how govt. application forms have an email field. Perhaps email should be nationalized.
I’ll phrase it another way: in 2020, some number of people collectively decided it was easier to send Netflix 25 billion dollars instead of pirating movies.
It's only the intro that has the 3D visualisation, the meat of the article is normal text and worth a read
Respectfully, I do not see how I am browbeating anyone when I say:

> Someone could also buy a really nice monitor for $2k and donate the other 2k to a local food bank. A lot of people are struggling and hungry.

And I think it is reasonable for me not to believe that a random internet commenter is going to make a $5000 donation while they accuse me of making a morality play. I'm not saying you will never donate $5000, but I do believe you will not make any additional donations due to our exchange. It just sounded like hot air.

But I can see that you want to tear me down, and I don't really care. We have strayed far beyond good faith conversation so I'm going to exit this now.
Please no :( unparallelizable tasks are already slow enough. My guitar effects rack (where effects all have to be processed one after each other, by design) uses barely less CPU% in a 2020 computer than in a 2011 one and it is extremely frustrating.

Aren't there numerous companies trying to force a return to the office? Filtering by "Remote" on LinkedIn wipes out a lot of positions.
Let's look at it from another perspective: in 2020 people collectively decided it was easier to send Netflix $25 billion instead of other forms of entertainment (cinemas, theaters, concert halls, stadium, etc were closed)

Pirating skyrocketed as well during 2020

The two things are not adversaries as much as one might think

Theatrical releases on streaming services have helped piracy, now you can download a movie mere days after it came out and the quality is gonna be perfect.

> More people are pirating movies during the coronavirus lockdown
During the last seven days of March, there was a 43% spike in Americans visiting sites that pirate movies compared with the last seven days of February.
Italy, which went under lockdown orders on March 9, saw visits to piracy sites spike 66%

How is IPv6 coverage in the email provider landscape these days? I guess it would be easier to build up a decent IP reputation if it was on a "virgin" IPv6 address used only for this purpose, and not tainted by prior use etc.

IPv6-only for email is probably still a pipe dream, I guess...
UK fishermen voted for Brexit because it would directly lead to larger fishing quotas for themselves, the UK being an island surrounded by fish that was forced to give up most of its fishing rights over its own seas to (amongst others) the French and Spanish, who have plenty of coastline of their own and a reputation for aggression.

Given that fishermen weren't exactly ever migrating in droves to Berlin to become language teachers, that decision seems to be pretty much the epitome of rationality. The fact that you picked it as your best example of why people should live in a dictatorship in which they aren't even aware the rules are being made, let alone able to object, speaks volumes about the nature of EU ideology and why the UK was right to leave.

Or a startup with people listening at speakers, googling the answer and telling it back. And access to remote commands for lights, doors and everything else. I would call it the remote butler. BTW, that .com domain is taken since 2005 and parked (not mine, I swear.)
Yes but why Ubuntu LTS, gmail is even better at it: you dont even need to learn what a package is and you can focus on breaking your back 16 hours a day to pay your credit card debts.

You overestimate the time available to people and that's why google can shove its ads down our throats in exchange for a huge time gain for everyone. Fix that first, then tell people to update their mail daemon.
I can't read German and the page requires JS, but I could see the models in the URLs so I looked those up, and those are both not cheap[1] and don't seem to be available in the US. I'm not sure if the differences in numbers are due to different testing methods either --- if you leave the doors open on those I bet they'll also use a lot more than 90-125kWh/y, compared to basically never opening them at all and seeing what the energy use eventually settles down to (insulation losses only). I'm averaging around 280kWh/y on mine when it's actually in active use, where the door gets opened a few times a day and it's used to cool things from room temperature.

[1] From what I could find, the Samsung RL38A776ASR costs over £1200, or a little over $1600 US. That's enough to pay for 40 years of electricity on mine.

I don't use the terminal often, but when I do, the feeling of sheer power and control over the system is palpable. I'm a fast and nervous typer, so I always try to slow down and notice all the ways I could lose data, and how easy it would be to make such mistakes (eg. how many mistyped letters away from wiping my database am I?).

Over time, I got better at noticing danger areas. Whenever I use 'rm', I re-read the command a couple of times as an extra precaution. Doesn't feel like that's enough.

I wish we had --dry-run for everything.
> In C, a read from an uninitialized variable is an
unspecified value and is allowed to be any value each time it is read. This is important, because it allows behavior such as lazy recycling of pages: for example, on FreeBSD the malloc implementation informs the operating system that pages are currently unused, and the operating system uses the first write to a page as the hint that this is no longer
true. A read to newly malloced memory may initially read the old value; then the operating system may reuse theunderlying physical page; and then on the next write to a different location in the page replace it with a newly zeroed page. The second read from the same location will then give a zero value.

What? What is the benifit of such behaviour?

What does other OSes do in this regard?
How about "smart assistants should not encourage people to do stuff based on what is blindly scraped on the internet"?

Seriously, how could they not have seen that it's a bad idea to have a "challenge" prompt say random stuff from the internet? I get that if I ask a question like "how high is mount everest" the answer can be "According to wikipedia it is 8,848 meters high" but doing the same for "give me a challenge" is pretty stupid.
I always add

"\e[A": history-search-backward
"\e[B": history-search-forward

to my .inputrc, I find it easier to use than C-r as it's some sort of autocomplete from history. But looking up commands with !number can still be very useful when you don't remember the command you need but remember when you used it (e.g. what commands you ran before and after).
> Vaccine: A product that stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease

I'm not sure you hit an eventual consistency thing while you read the source you cited, but the definition of a vaccine in it does not match your definition.

A vaccine, according to the CDC source you quoted, is:

> Vaccine: A preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases. (...)

Keep in mind that your personal definition of a vaccine does not match how most vaccines work, if any vaccine at all.
NVVM IR compiles down to PTX which then is compiled by the driver to a shader language (or something like that).

I don't think assholes are common enough to warrant a blanket filtering process. I think this is just a common way to justify closer contact, whether it be phone or video. It really is just sales, and the more personal, the better.
The East India Company grossly mismanaged India leading to the Indian Revolt in 1857 and the birth of a truly unified Indian Independence movement. If the Crown had directly managed India from the beginning, the UK may have looked rather different today.
That's the truth. Any recruiters offering a half hearted "hybrid for now" approach will get quite a shock in the next six months.

Kernighan and Ritchie referred to C as a 'relatively "low level" language' in their 1978 book.
But countries can work together without being in the EU. In fact the EU's refusal to work with countries geographically close to Europe unless they totally submit to the will of the Commission on everything, is one of the factors most damaging to European cooperation. The EU is ideologically incapable of compromise, structurally incapable of working together on some things and not on others. Once upon a time it could do those things, but not for many years now.

Patrick Rothfuss ruined other fantasy novels for me. Seriously, I usually now stop after 2-3 hours in because it is just bad in comparison. I know that there are some that do not like his books. For me those are the best fantasy books I have ever read. It is not even close. Like he is so much better that I can not even compare it to anything else.
So, Switzerland is not successful? Norway isn't successful? The UK isn't successful?

Of course there are such examples. Especially if you consider that it's not really clear what makes the EU "successful" in this argument.
I never understood the utility of history substitution (I think this is what it's called). Why not just ctrl-r to see the actual command? Also, `sudo !!` thingy that is (was?) persistent in the internets for some reason, is probably the dumbest thing out there.

Yeah. It's even arguing against itself. If I interpret it correctly,

* The purpose of DRM is not to prevent copyright violations. (Implied to mean: Ensure exactly 0 copies exist online).

* The purpose of DRM is to prevent copyright violations. (Implied to mean: by our paying customers)
The issue is with the workers believing to live in a past distant century and sitting on the idea that current possibilities are "science fiction" - often criminally calibrating the risk on the abilities of the "man in the street", instead of the interested actor: the swindler. As in "But who could and would ever do it?"¹; the answer clearly being: the one really interested in doing it.

I have heard, literally: "Well, if I cannot trust one's email nor one's telephone number [than a scam is like fate]"... From a bank employee. This is dangerously placed ignorance, in subcultures where unduly laxity was accepted.

How do you walk forward slowly? Tapping bottom edges does “run” action for me.

I think you answered your own question. Not everyone needs just a single audio-playing app at the same time.

Audio is also things like warning sounds, it isn't just music and games.

In the merkle tree committment example, I don't think it allows identifiying e.g. a fraudulent rollback just from looking at the hash.

If you wanted to identify a fraudulent rollback, I think you had to constantly replicate all transitions and recompute the on-chain merkle hash. If you found discrepancies in the on-chain hash and yours, it'd mean that either node ran out of synch for some unknown reason.

Then, if e.g. other nodes too replicated your state, you may be able to conclude that the wrong-hash node had a (byzantine) fault etc.

But I think that at least in the case of the Ethereum Plasma architecture, just committing a state aggregate in form of a hash wasn't enough because of some block withholding attack. From my understanding, hoytech's quadrable is just a chain committment. Similar to Plasma.

Modern rollup architectures end up storing all transition state in Ethereum calldata state. This way proving fraudulent validation is possible and things become conceptually simpler as you can rely on the strong guarantees of e.g. data availability of the PoW chain.
Yeah, that and the lovely tap-tap-tap of the rain on a tin roof

Strangely enough, I can't find a remote job (EU). Since the pandemic started I had about 10 solid offers BUT they did bait-and-switch to 1-2 days a week on-site, and I just find a PITA to move my family to get crumbs of remoteness. The ones I'm sure are fully remote tend to only like candidates who are 100% match, as the pool for remote is much bigger.
Taking a look at "web0" again actually is what the Jamstack is doing. Do static rendering and only load JS where / when necessary.
I should really buy something from jet pens. Not sure how how expensive they are for non-US international orders but I’ll have to check. It could potentially add quite a mark-up to a cheaper item such as the sampler packs someone else mentioned. But those packs look GREAT.

You should check out the rest of their posts/articles. I’ve ended up on them before when trying to find out the difference in the types of inks and types of pens. I have always been really impressed by the quality of their articles. Really want to give them some cash so will wander over there in a bit.

Sadly, my writing has got worse and worse since my life has become more and more digital. I should really have a goal for 2022 to be able to write legibly once again. I can’t even read my own hand writing any more - it must just be the lack of practice and it’s very sad as people used to comment on how beautiful it was (decades ago). Now it looks like a Doctor’s prescription order!
I'm not sure if it's the appropriate solution but have you looked at higher level abstractions in elixir, like Flow, Broadway, GenStage?
I don't own a car, neither does anyone around me. We all rely on public transport and bicycles. I live near the Artic circle and the temperature is routinely near -20º. If Aury knew what he was talking about, he'd know that weather is generally nice and sunny at that temperature and that snow and wind are more common when it's warmer.
You're also looking at selection/survival bias: only the good appliances from 1960 survived that long.

Likewise, some 2020 appliances are likely to survive 60 years, though not most.

Every 2020 appliance you find in 60 years will be built robustly, probably in a serviceable manner. And it may last much longer.

Time is a nice tool to select robust artifacts that… stand the test of time. I certainly hope old survivors help guiding design choices. If you look at buildings, that's usually the case.

In any case, don't just throw these away! At least donate them to a nonprofit.

Help HN: Stripe shutting us down with 48 hours notice on a holiday skeleton crew
Looking for someone who can escalate a query through Stripe (I know a lof of of Stripe are reading here including pc).

We process about 5-10M a month through Stripe since 2018 without issues. On the 27th of December they have given us 48 hours notice, whilst the entire company is being ran on a skeleton support crew to completely get off stripe and switch to another processor.

We've been in touch with them recently and this was never brought up. We've already started the process to switch do an actual acquiring bank rather than a PSP like Stripe but there's no way this can be completed now in 48 hours, IN BETWEEN CHRISTMAS AND NY.

This seems to be in line with the race to the bottom support from Stripe but pulling something like this is a new low.

So hoping that someone here can escalate.
There was Adobe Voco, which seemed kind of a forerunner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3l4XLZ59iw, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Voco. It purportedly could edit speech like an audio editor and looked like a destroyer of authenticity. And then nothing was heard of it anymore.

(Edit: Wikipedia says that VoCo takes “approximately 20 minutes of the desired target's speech”, and that it was a research prototype.)

There was a thing called Tacotron from a team at Google, in 2018: https://google.github.io/tacotron/publications/speaker_adapt... (In fact, the OP repo and the original CorentinJ/Real-Time-Voice-Cloning apparently rely on Tacotron.)

And there was something from 2019: https://www.ohadf.com/projects/text-based-editing/, https://news.stanford.edu/2019/06/05/edit-video-editing-text...

The latter two seem to need more samples than pure real-time editing.

Overall, to me a layman, this space appears quieter than ‘deep-faking’ videos. Which makes me wonder if I haven't missed something.
"echo" can be useful when prototyping scripts and for cycles, I prepend my critical commands (e.g. mv and rm) with echo and run the cycle to see all the commands with variables expanded before actually running them.
No it is not.

All this whataboutism talk is besides the point.

I am not saying what China is doing is right, I am saying that others are equally worse and we should deal with that TOO.

And yes, the US invading foreign soil is equally bad.
True but most languages need something like it to manage non-memory resources. Stuff like Python's with block or C#'s using block. So Zig is on par with those for non-memory stuff and much much better than C. Having everything accept an allocator also makes managing memory a lot simpler since you can use a simple arena allocator for temporary heap allocations.
There are usually several copies of a varied quality to choose from based on ones needs on a decent tracker. Of course you can't expect stellar quality 2h movie fit into <1 GB, look for reasonable file sizes 5+ GB) to avoid ultracompressed versions with garbage sound.
