My guess is it depends on how discoverable you might be. For me, I found the recruiter spam declined substantially when my title is team lead or manager, something seemingly much less likely to match the filter being used. Although instead I get spam from recruiters (as in agencies) or sales reps, but I suspect less than when I had individual contributor titles. Any I put basically zero effort into my linkedin profile.

Also, it's very dependent on linkedin, so depending on your presence or if linkedin thinks you do/don't have skills you may be missing the recruiter searches, and get less outreach.
How picky are you able to be with these jobs you get via contacts?

One ex-colleague I know is able to get a new job within a matter of days by poking around his network. These are SWE jobs at NYC hedge funds of varying caliber.

The caveat is that he can't be picky. He might have to work with unsexy tech, or in a boring project shuffling around XML feed files, etc. Hedge funds being hedge funds, they still pay at least above average.

That said, he's the only SWE I know of who can land jobs through his network without being tortured by the leetcode gauntlet. Everyone else, myself included, might at best skip a phone screen but still ultimately be subjected to leetcode.
I often wonder why these aren’t the material of choice for interior uses as well. Why does everything use drywall, which requires the messiness of mudding and taping and so on? I feel like a metal panel system that is removable would be much more durable and would allow access to the in-between spaces more easily.
It is not fake. I just went through an interview cycle and set up Calendly to manage availability between my work and personal calendars. I interviewed with 3 big-n companies (two were remote bait and switches, one did not meet my salary expectations), 3 smaller companies (really appreciate big-n interview structure after speaking with them), and one post-IPO finance company (accepted). I set my LinkedIn profile to looking for work and fielded almost every recruiter who messaged me in that time.

The note on here is I have software engineering and security experience, so a ton of companies growing their security organizations are actively looking. I have about 9 years of experience but job hop (~2 years) which probably hurts me a little. I think if I stay at my next role for 3-5 years then principal roles will open up for me. Target comp for this round of interviews was 300k which I came in just below and should make in years 2 through 4 at this company (based on minimal stock growth + refreshers).
> 1.5x also gives you the same real estate as 1440p but with higher PPI but I don't know how crisp that will be given the scaling ratio.

1.5x is nice on a 27 inch 4k with 14+ fonts. HiDPI monitors do seem to have bloom, so slightly bigger fonts with higher DPI are good to have.
Yes, but not insanely so. A compact car for a week with Share Now is €42/day, and with Sixt it's €32/day. In a lot of cases, I'd happily pay that for the 1-2 hours of saved time in not dealing with the rental company, or booking things in advance.

I know specifically a lot of my friends who basically fall into that category: don't own a car, and decide same-day that they want to do a weekend trip, and would rather pay €20 more to not deal with contract, aggressive up-selling, pick up and drop off, refueling, inspection, etc.

One of the things attractive about Japan is that it actually does have a lot of unique culture in a world otherwise somewhat dominated by a global culture, when you are actually different there are bound to be several things about your culture which others see in awe.

One of the disappointing things (not that there aren’t awesome things) about traveling across the US is all the things which aren’t different even though separated by thousands of miles. I recently moved back to Minnesota from several years in California and often get the strange sense that I’m still there because I’m in an environment so familiar that I think I’m in Sunnyvale for a moment. (Walking through a shop or doing this or that… the snow though is a bit of a differentiator)
I think the broader point still stands: Hayek, or anyone else for that matter, doesn't really know the limits of rationality.
It's actually quite funny: they could possibly implement an algorithm that's going to move to more boring (not in child's interest) suggestions after some time (eg 1h of screen time) to encourage healthier viewing habits.

But I think that's a harder problem to solve since all creators are going for addictive content, so figuring out interest is most important.
I love these kinds of threads, thanks for making it. Favouriting it for later.

My recommendation: Hinge Points podcast, especially Episode 6: Let's Roll. (https://www.patreon.com/posts/hinge-points-6-59759286)

Goes over the influence of 9/11 on the history of the 21st century, especially concerning USA. Incisive and almost terse in how well it describes why 9/11 happened, and if it didn't, how the world would be different.

If you get to unilaterally make technical decisions in your company with complete disregard for return on investment, then be my guest - but I'd look for other jobs because companies that prioritise developers complaining over profit tend to go bankrupt.

Hey team - been on the hunt for a new read it later app since Instapaper has become unusably buggy and Pocket has issues of its own.

Then the very next article I tried only loaded in web view, while it was available as text only in Pocket.

Would love to see additional font options too!
I'm working on a decentralized storage solution for personal data. To be fair, it's not actually being used anywhere meaningful but I think it has real value (data ownership / privacy, encryption, protection from client code) and we have a proof-of-concept website that you could test it out on.

What should be in your opinion the other way of achieving it then?

Because opening and closing the economy definitely isn't the right way to do it either.
The classic example from Milton Friedman is when the FDA waited 17 years to approve beta blockers, after most other countries had.

That killed 10,000 Americans a year, 170,000 total.

That's just one drug, that finally got approved.
> Japan is, of course, just a place. The people there are ordinary humans. Fetishizing a particular culture is both cringeworthy and genuinely harmful. Their country and society have plenty of problems, just like any other. There is nothing magical about Japan or any other place.

Japan, by your own description, isn’t just a place. It’s the place of a people who share a long and deep culture. If you substituted New Yorkers for Japanese in Tokyo, it wouldn’t be like Tokyo for very long! (Feeling like a “clumsy, nasty barbarian” is certainly an apropos description of how I feel returning to New York after visiting Tokyo.)

Most Japanese wouldn’t describe Japan as “just a place.” A Japanese acquaintance of mine (a law professor) and I were once discussing the issue of government corruption in Asia. My acquaintance dug into some 400 years of Japanese history to explain why it had less problems with corruption than China, next door.

Of course it’s not “magical”—just as there is nothing magical about Apple under Steve Jobs. But it is an achievement—the achievement of a group of people who share a particular culture. When my dad was born in 1951, Japan had a GDP per capita (adjusted for purchasing power) similar to Bangladesh’s today. Within a generation they had become a first world country. You shouldn’t fetishize their culture, but it’s okay to marvel at their achievement!
Notably just about zero of what you've mentioned is apparent or directly empowering to users. They have better services at their disposal as a result of these systems developments, but almost no users have more personal.xontrol, are better aware & more capable of relliantly doing computing than they had been. In my view we've only made users dependent & less capable, we've given up all ideas of systems to the cult of the application. Many many black boxes, all unalike.

The blockchain crazyshit is perhapa regardable somewhat as an exception, but it's stupid fucking crazy expensive & polluting to do anything, and you basically need to be 20x smarter than the average programmer to not footgun yourself. In principle i want to try to allow it as promuser innovative & systems oriented but it's such a totalized system of constraint & restriction, such a low low low resource world compared to even having a pentium1 & dsl connection, that I dont see it as meaningfully ennabling.
I would have expected this to go into ways of thinking. Understanding first and second order effects of decisions, means of analyzing situations - who's involved, what are my goals, what are my peers' goals, how can I push them in the direction I want, etc

This is fairly straightforward though.
Cryptocurrency. Not bitcoin either, one that can actually be used for fast anonymous payments with low fees. Ask them to set up a Monero wallet and publish the address so people can send money there. There are easy to use apps like cake wallet.

I've actually gotten paid for code this way. Worked great. I sincerely hope this will become common. Cryptocurrency will never be real if we don't start using it.

It still seems like the response here is disproportionate to the risk. Is COVID the only serious risk that immune compromised people face? What if an immune compromised person had caught the flu in 2018? Or one of any number of other diseases that circulate?

Life is extremely dangerous for someone without a strong functioning immune system.
It's true, you would want to talk to some people eventually but the current state of the affairs is that the recruiters insist on communicating over the phone only. E.g. you get a message on Linked in "Hi, I have a software engineer job, interested? Let's hop on a quick call!", if you reply with something like: where is this job? what kind of industry? what is the compensation? etc. 90% of the times will be "Let's schedule a call". If you insist - they will either keep replying the same or disappear.

Thanks for the retitling, mods. It's better than my original.
I agree with you in terms of the reputation of metal roofs - they’re viewed as cheap. But I am not really sure why. The noise isn’t a problem in practice when they’re installed over appropriate decking. Many new roofs also have insulating layers between the highest living spaces and the outside roofing material, which can further reduce the noise. The metal itself can be less attractive, but there are also ones that look more premium and come close to the appearance of other materials. I feel it especially compares well against membranes used on flat roofs (asphalt or various plastic sheets).
Thanks. The Wikipedia page says that only one J1 was built.
Itoya is amazing, it's like a wonderland of stationery!

I also highly recommend kakimori, which builds custom notebooks that you can select all the parts for (binding, paper, cover, etc.). Really memorable experience, and it's in a quieter residential part of the city (but still fairly convenient/central) that feels very different from the usual tourist spots.
Great. Can you suggest such a provider, or 3?
To me, there is a very large difference between the original game in an emulator and this.

It appears that this is using http://phaser.io/ and is a complete rewrite of the original game.
Good point. I meant more like people who think they're AI people, i.e. Tesla fans who get angry when someone points out flaws with their car.
That's often what I'd do, unless I can tell that the recruiter works at the company in question (i.e. they have a company email address).
The problem is that to a large extent the people asking why are the reason why.
Manufacturing medical devices is way different than other things, there are specific requirements and stuff. I’m not going to go into too much detail here, but you can’t always increase production on demand, many times there are very real scaling limitations for these products. It’s not all profits and rainbows at these businesses, there is real hard work and time needed to build things at the level of quality necessary for medical devices, almost like space equipment. Scaling is usually less than linear, which means you get less product per worker if you try to do too much, and it takes months or years to build that extra capacity.

For anyone interested in such oddities, here's an email from a DEC engineer in response to an alleged bug report back in the 90s that goes into a brief but very deep dive of the history of calendar, including the jewel about the jump between the Julian and Gregorian calendars (and the continuity of the days of the week):

https://neosmart.net/forums/threads/an-extended-history-of-t...

More to the point, that email suggests that there's a good chance the continuity of the days of the week predates even the Gregorian calendar and goes back to the founding of the Roman empire, as presumably Mercedonius wouldn't have given anyone a reason to suddenly change the days of the week.

I therefore chose not to insult the reader by further clarifying that she was a pretty regular-ass person, not some kind of magical exotic creature. We were friends for quite a few years and folks tend not to be friends with weirdos that fetishize them.

I'm happy to spend a lot of time talking interactively with hiring managers and prospective teams. Recruiters aren't hiring managers and I think the entirety of my interactions with them can be managed successfully and efficiently asynchronously.
Seems relatively simple to streamline to me. Charge an authorization hold to the card for the total cost, scan + verify their ID (doctor's offices and airports already do this in under 30 seconds), do a quick docusign-esque thing on the computer (for those of you that want to read the contract, you could read yours off to the side while others go, when you're done you'll be helped next). Then just send the customer off to the lot to get keys + vehicle condition check.
Nothing in that reply suggests to me it doesn’t know what it’s doing
Yeah. At this point most computers up for sale actually belong to the manufacturer. The people who buy them have almost no control anymore. We'll never be truly free until we can make our own computers at home just like how we can make our own free software at home.
STEM thinking is the only kind of thinking that works at all, for anything, on anything, at all. Humanities thinking is just combining words together in complicated and memetically convincing ways and declaring victory without even having a way to check if anything works. The humanities is and always will be isomorphic to the Catholic Church in 1250, just dressed up in today's clothes.

Hayek wasn't advocating some way of thinking that is better than scientific quantification or another kind of Positivist analysis involving mathematics and some form of the scientific method, he was saying that the complexity made such a quantification hopeless. He wasn't saying the English Department could centrally plan an economy, he was saying nobody could do it!

None. Maybe humanism and secularism combined can be called a spiritual system? I mean I like to think of a higher purpose in being a good human, and your influence can live on down through generations by the works you do as a good human. Most of us won't ever be great humans, but we can all be good humans. I think modern takes on “spiritualism” are bogus and likely no better than what has come before considering the overwhelming failure of organized religions to better the human condition.

Hello HN community,
The AI code translation is becoming a thing these days. Businesses are launching some sort of program to translate code to another programming language and also plain english. OpenAI is the main force that facilitated this mechanism.
Do you think AI will positively impact the learning curve of developers with this? If not, what do you think the problems will be?
