Can you please name your company? I haven't worked at FAANG but I most definitely would not want to work for a company like yours.
But in this model wouldn't you control the NAT config? You're already running servers, so outside access isn't an issue. I dunno, OP is running that "Cloudflare tunnel" thing for exposed ports so maybe there's something I don't know, or that the internet connection is still some consumer thing that prevents or forbids running servers.

Actually, now that I look closer they aren't running their own email, so maybe this really is primarily a mostly-internal-access project. I do like those SFFs tho!
> I can't imagine a single person where I work factoring this in

Then it’s entirely possible you work for an immoral mega corp and your judgment has been compromised by your paycheck.

Let me put it in a more blunt way you are more likely to understand. Your team is interviewing someone who was a process engineer on the deep water horizon oil spill. You’d probably feel gross hiring someone whose incompetence poisoned the Gulf of Mexico.

They did a fraction of the damage that FAANG engineers do to our society on a daily basis.
I believe it's configurable in firmware, as my ThinkPad e14 gen 2 has a BIOS option to set the sleep state behaviour. The options are labelled "Windows" and "Linux".
Please don't take HN threads into regional flamewar, regardless of which region you have a problem with. It's tedious, offtopic, and particularly avoidable. Comments like yours triggered a hellish flamewar elsewhere in this thread—exactly what we don't want here.

My impression is the opposite, not just in my technical circles. Facebook is boring. Meta is (arguably) malicious.
Not a dedicated option, but Bing is fairly competent as a video search engine. I don't know how good their indexing is in reality, but you can search with a "site:YouTube.com" to limit results to YouTube.

I like it. I wonder if this is available for Windows?

The title invites us to talk about the tech stack, so I'll do:

The better tech for an app like this would certainly be Qt with C++. OP mentioned that this is a project for learning Rust which is perfectly fine. However, if the goal was to build the best possible product in the most efficient way, just use Qt and C++. At my job we've build many Qt apps and they don't explode with memory leaks and race conditions (unlike many Rust evangelists keep praying). And also they don't became an unmaintainable mess. Rust is great and all, but if you need a cross-plattform UI that is not Electron just use Qt with C++.
I believe this hypothesis.
What are they going to do?

Release it to theaters for the sake of doing it?

I don’t even go to the theater ever… I don’t think of the content I watch as diminished.

It doesn’t seem like anyone in the article thinks it is either.
I’m in Chicago suburbs and it’s probably about $85k USD for a junior level role sw engg role. It’s not faang but those numbers are still lower than a lot of US cities.

You mean the ones that randomly receive a random problem that they hadn't memorized before.
I fully agree that setting up Kubernetes is a lot of work, but I think people forget how much work it is to set up anything maintainable for more than a few services running on a handful of services.

The nice thing about Kubernetes is that it’s probably not much harder (if at all) than the alternative (assuming you already know which tools to use to compose your bespoke platform) and you can easily find online resources and support (never mind all of the problems you don’t run into because they’re already solved in Kubernetes).
Well if they'd bother to read then they'd know they lose neither their purchases or SSO.
So do you feel the sculptor was lying when he said who/what those figures represent? That seems to be a bit of an assumption without much evidence. Perhaps you (and others) just disagree with the artist’s interpretation or find meaning where the artist intended something different. That happens a lot in works of art.

I guess my perspective is that if the actual guide’s names and likeness that Roosevelt used were lost to history but as a sculptor but you still wanted to honor them…why wouldn’t you generically represent the cultures and races of those that helped him if they were important to the expeditions? That somehow seems less offensive to me than representing them as culturally generic…or not at all.
How old are they?

Anyone sub 40 was old enough to see the problems with Facebook and steer clear.

Working for them and “seeing the light” after years of collecting the blood money doesn’t give you any points with me.
I've responded to the first three now. Yes, they were bad comments. They were nowhere close to being representative of this thread, and they were all downvoted.

Some of the others, like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30026680, you clearly misinterpreted. That comment isn't dissing Ohio, it's dissing a headline the commenter didn't like. Edit: see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30034705 also - the 'potato' thing was an unrelated joke that had nothing to do with Ohio.
It’s probably that he has to “be available” and so can’t make good use of the working hours where he’s not doing active work

It’s a common obstacle to making good use of your time even when underworked and working remotely. Ideally one could find non-team settings where this wouldn’t be an issue
Time tracking is self sabotage.

It's better to estimate the hours required, quote for those hours and agree a completion date in advance.

With time tracking you're inviting unnecessary scrutiny and failing to establish work boundaries that can leave the client with no sense of beginning and end. It also leaves you constantly multitasking and bookkeeping.

If a client is insisting on time tracking it's probably because they're paranoid about getting ripped off or needing the insight into what they're paying for.

Upfront estimation with deadline gives them the peace of mind they need, establishes the boundaries and frees you to get on with the job.

If you underestimate do better next time, if you overestimate then great have a margarita.

When companies like Facebook get thousands of applicants per job there has to be _some_ way to unceremoniously cull the herd. Leetcode is it.

I've interviewed at a lot of other places and it's mostly take-home assignments or just talking about past projects or my open source projects. I've never had to do leetcode for an interview in 14 years of working as a software engineer.
Courtesy warning: Zoho is headquartered in Chennai, India. A country with an increasingly authoritarian government so it's a safe assumption that their government will have access to all your data.

Because to them it is a numbers game. They try hard to make the interactions seem personal but for the most part to them it is all business. It you're susceptible they'll have you relocate your family across country for an at-will contract knowing retention sucks. As long as they get paid they do not care for the most part. They will also spam the hell out of you for eternity no matter how much you tell them you don't want to do something.
No, but thinking about it that would make sense. Is that considered the correct posture? I’ve always used my pinky finger for L and ?
I have friends who retired at age 25. Retiring early should be the number one focus you have in your life. Everything else is bullshit, noise and propoganda.

Not with that attitude. I refuse to hire anyone with FAANG on their resume and you can all do it too.

Most of you on here are all woo woo Linux this and FSF that, but you won’t put your money where your mouth is.

I won’t hire you if you work for these assholes, and I’d love for more of you to join me.

To the rest of you: Sure, take that $300k total comp bro. Good luck working outside SV. Better be worth it.
Your source [1] commits several data errors in the first sentence. Having a divorce rate of 60% does not mean that 60% of married couples are unhappy (even though the divorce rate is not 60%, as your link [2] shows -- the peak divorce rate is for marriages originating in the 1970s, of which 48% did not last 25 years). Marriages are not distributed uniformly: many people will have none, many will have one, and some may rack up more than a few. By definition people with many marriages will account for more than their fair share of the "divorce rate" (even in the 48%), and you can't simply swap "people" or "couples" in for "marriages" in the denominator of that statistic. Yet, why are there some people who keep getting married and failing? Their passion and decision-making that causes them to marry is probably related to the reasons they end. I think if you're so dispassionate that you can consider all the reasons to not get married, then you're probably the sort of person whose marriage would be carefully calculated and not end in flames quickly.

Your second link has much more meaningful data on this: yes, marriages are getting later in life and more people and choosing not to marry. However, divorce rates are lower than the 70s and marriages are generally lasting longer. If you consistently advise people not to get married out of some misplaced fear of having to split assets in half, that seems a bit myopic. It seems like a more complex issue.
Genius.

Unfortunately it breaks with threads, and voting, but maybe the idea will be used someday!
Every product has obvious low-hanging fruit that could be improved in the UX — yet the company persists in spending effort on sweeping yet entirely cosmetic changes that deliver zero value.

A good example is changing the typeface of text labels in every product to match the new Google logo, which Google seem to have been continuously doing for years on end now. I would argue this even has negative value, as it creates a mix of two typefaces (Roboto and Product Sans) in every product that used to have one, which causes every future UI design decision to be saddled with the extra cost of deciding which of the two to use.
All of your points are already covered in the linked article.

Except it says that mediation is better than legal fees, regardless of who pays. The article's claim is that this shift away from the adversarial process is probably the biggest factor, though others also contribute.

And 50/50 custody is already the norm in many places, according to the article.

"Laws in Australia, Sweden and some American states require judges to consider splitting custody time more or less down the middle."
High wages won’t impact a housing market with infinite supply but that’s not reality.

When there’s a lack of supply then the top earners set the market. When top earners make more then prices are higher.
Exactly. I cannot trust folks who have spent more than 1-2 years at FB to make ethical decisions and I will not hire them.

Similarly, I will not go to a company if people up the chain, including my immediate boss or the CEO are ex-FB.

If the CxOs are ex-FB I cannot expect it to be an ethical company.

But, that’s me.
Tell HN: I created a complex DB design as an experiment
I am working on a side-project to learn web-development. The app is simple, with following features: account creation, creation of "content"(e.g. a blog post), commenting, reporting, up/down voting, bookmarking and tagging. So during the development I thought what if I treat everything in the app as "content" and create hierarchy of the content, and then create every entity relation in the DB as many-to-many. Naturally, lot of tables were created in the DB. But that got me thinking, that this design opens up lots of interesting use-cases such as sub-accounts, group accounts, sub-posts, multi-commenting, multi-reporting, comment-threading, group-posting etc.

This was a very interesting exercise. I think there will be DB performance as well as storage size issues with this design. Not sure though, never tried anything like this in practice.
Book this is extracted from and the passage is here...

https://books.google.com.ph/books?id=-4ODDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA3&dq=...

They don't seem to have a source. Not linked anyways. Sources might be listed at the end of the book.

ETA: Ah, they have the "source" in "notes." They are quoting a CEO of a retailer, so I guess they wouldn't ask sources. You would need to "fact-check" the CEO. ;)

I suppose you could just skip over all parts of the book which talks about numbers, because it's too much work to track those down to see if they are legit.

> According to Jennifer Hyman, the C.E.O. of Rent the Runway, I am not alone. “Every woman has the feeling of opening up her closet and seeing the dozens of dead dresses that she’s worn only once,” she told me recently. Each year, as Hyman is fond of pointing out, the average American buys sixty-eight items of clothing, eighty per cent of which are seldom worn; twenty per cent of what the $2.4-trillion global fashion industry generates is thrown away.
I think these kinds of complaints are interesting compared to other HN posts about - take your pick - startups trying to keep the lights on, startups closing their doors, bootcamp attendees looking for their first job, etc.

Whether intentional or not, the tenor of this blog comes across as fairly sheltered and not particularly sympathetic.
By the point the USA declared war, he had basically just lost the war against the USSR (as it's in those days that his Blitzkrieg definitely ground down, in visual sight of the Kremlin, to add insult to injury). So he just didn't have anything to spare for such an attack.
I don't know how things are these days but when I was doing the digital nomad thing I had an old android with my home SIM in it in order to accept calls if anything important came in, and just by disabling data and wifi it would last a week on standby. Smartphones have huge batteries that they waste on keeping always-on TCP connections going. Remove those and it should last forever
> Tell me where things would have stopped if the Whites, Allies, and Czechoslovak Legion had gained the upper hand.

In no way would it involve the UK or US controlling any part of Russia.

Also, the Whites were Russian. The Bolsheviks had no claim on representing Russia any more than the Whites did.
My only suggested upgrade is to make your own mayo. You can use nice oils that have a flavor you like, and you can use a high-grade mustard to add some nice, subtle flavors. It only takes a minute or two, especially if you make it in a blender.
Can someone explain to me why the video results are so bad? Half the time I'm looking for YouTube and YouTube never shows up? Was this due to a lawsuit or something? Half the time it's some random website that has a 2minute video before two 30second ad rolls, never what I want.
I personally have a dedicated IP, but the ISP's public reports say that no new customers will be able to obtain a dedicated IPs some time after 2024 or maybe 2025.

The default for all new customers is CG-NAT, unless they're tech-savvy enough to ask for something better.

I do got a /64 IPv6 range however!

The US government says it's okay so it's okay.
It's pretty easy to do almost no coding at larger companies as a more senior engineer and become quite rusty. It sounds like he was interviewing for a position which he's actually expected to ship things and code, so it's pretty reasonable to ask him to code in the interview.
Yeah, and like I said, that's a lazy answer, because it raises the question "Why, actually, was there demand for beanie babies?" It was actually a really complex and fascinating phenomenon (I recommend https://www.amazon.com/Great-Beanie-Baby-Bubble-Delusion/dp/...) from the early days of the Internet and e-commerce. Likewise with the Tulip Mania and the South Sea Bubble (which people often compare crypto to); they're a lot more complicated than "people are greedy/stupid speculators", and are in fact important moments in the development of modern finance and the joint-stock corporation.
Too late for you, but for anyone else or future reference, if you have account 1 forwarding to account 2 you can add a filter on account 1 with the condition "doesn't have the words" and the value "somelonggarbagestringthatwillneverbeinyourmail" and select "never send to spam". That way spam filtering only happens in account 2 where you can check it regularly.
“members of the Big 10 conference are probably the best engineering schools conference in the world.”

1- Big 10 is not an “engineering school conference”.

2- In what world is Pitt a prominent engineering school? You have no idea what you’re talking about.
Watts per day could be used to describe the rate of decay of strength of a team of horses on expedition. But probably for that application you'd better use horsepower instead.
Whoa, it seems like you might want to be careful with politics creeping into your decision making.

I'm seeing several of your posts here and it seems like you are making the inference "worked at FAANG" -> "horrible person", and while I have never worked at FAANG I have many friends I respect who have, and eventually left though it took some time.

It feels like you might be making an ad hominem attack here.
Maybe you are looking for "React: Up & Running: Building Web Applications" 2nd Edition? Physical book published by O'reilly on December 2021. Author is Stoyan Stefanov, a facebook engineer (ex fb I think?). Has good reviews. It's also only 230 pages.
https://www.amazon.com/React-Running-Building-Web-Applicatio...

Hooks (functions?) are the way forward for React. Classes were the old way. But this book has both. Author's rationale is "A controversial decision was the inclusion of class components in addition to function components. Function components are likely the way forward; however, the reader is likely to encounter existing code and tutorials that talk only about class components. Knowing both syntaxes doubles the chances of reading and understanding code in the wild". Seems reasonable.

Also definitely take a look at the React Docs Beta at https://beta.reactjs.org/

They seem to be a substantial improvement over the previous docs. All explanations are written using Hooks rather than classes.

I love this 10 min intro video to React Docs Beta by Rachel Nabors from React Conf 2021. Has subtitles. > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mneDaMYOKP8

Some comments have said React might be a way to hell, so if you wanna improve your JavaScript or CSS, there are 2 well-regarded paid courses:

Just JavaScript by Dan Abramov. He's a member of the React team, and a co-author of Redux and Create React App.
https://justjavascript.com/

CSS course by Josh Comeau.
https://css-for-js.dev/

Both are paid courses.
My parents got divorced, but my Mom had always been a stay at home mom. She had absolutely no working experience, no career, etc. There was no way she could have paid even 99/1 since she didn't even have any income separate from my father. This is probably less common now, but I still know lots of families where the mother does not have a career outside the home (and 1 example of a father not having a career outside the home).
"Most corporations" don't do global surveillance on the scale Facebook does. It's that simple.

It's not about 100% purity. Just not doing this one little, tiny, fundamental-to-their-entire-business thing.
Perhaps, but it's about tradeoffs. If you retire in your late 50s or 60s, your body is into decline at that point, however fit your lifestyle has been. The goal of early retirement is about being free of the need to put in time for somebody else's business while you're still in a condition to lead an active lifestyle doing things that you enjoy doing.
Microprocessors are made because people collectively contribute to "the grid". The ability to live off "the grid" is made possible by "the grid" itself. Unless you are building tools from raw materials. Going out and buying a bunch of modern technology made by the grid to live off of it is kind of ironic. Fine by me but I get parent's point. There's something a bit privileged about it.
Likely does include socks and underwear but the median is probably lower than the avenger age. I’m guessing this is a skewed distribution.
Taking you at your word that you do this, I'm very glad I don't work with you. I would never want to associate with the kind of person who holds the employees responsible for the decisions of management, and then punishes them for wanting to leave that same management. Seems pretty biblical, in the original sin sense.

The whole "won't say it to your face" is the absolute cherry on top. If you don't talk about it, how do you know they didn't join the company out of an overly optimistic sense of being able to change things from within, then quit when reality struck?
If they do face up to the fact, then that means they are not necessarily clowns. Some orgs do have ethical standards.
I'm astonished that anyone would advocate for voting without some sort of Id. If you cant drink, drive or get a library card without an ID you shouldn't be able to vote. The Id laws that states do have on the books are incredibly liberal in what type of Id is acceptable to vote . Texas, a state lots of people are quick to assert has suppressive voter ID laws, doesn't even require a picture ID or original documents. In fact even a copy of a utility bill is acceptable: https://www.sos.state.tx.us/elections/forms/id/poster-8.5x14...

It's not like that at all. The US relationship with South American countries was nothing like the Iron Curtain.

That's just an empty claim. How about some facts?
