Nice writeup. I also wrote my own stats module for my website package, and I must say: it seems pretty accurate (never tested it next to GA by the way). I basically track the same things as you, but I don't fingerprint. I just explain to my users why and what, and they understand completely. They don't even care about unique visitors that much, just the broad scope and where the users come from and when.

The only cookies my system leaves behind are when a visitor fills in a contactform, so it is easier to block bad actors (there are emails going to be send, and I care about the email server's reputation). It's flabbergasting to see how much form spam takes place.

P.S. I 'follow' your blog now, by RSS.

Ask HN: Are there any good software engineering recruitment agencies?
Hello HN users, we need your help :)

Every time we hire new engineers, we face the same problem. We're a specialized software engineering and design agency with a ~20 people team (all of us are engineers or designers). We don't have a dedicated HR team or department due to our size (we handle everything ourselves).

When hiring, we create a blog post announcing what we're looking for, also listed on our careers page. We also publish job offers in the mainstream networks. We often get some candidates, and that's how we managed to hire most of our team, but we're limited to whoever gets to see our job offers.

We have received emails from recruitment agencies who offered their services and promised only to send us the best candidates. Still, the ones we tried so far never made us find a good hire.

The main problem is that they get paid per hire (with pretty high fees). Therefore, they limit themselves to sending you as many candidates as possible, hoping to increase their chances to close a hire and get their payments. But this situation for us translates into having many candidates we still need to review ourselves, many of which are apparent mismatches. Not only because they may not match our technical requirements but often because the profiles they send us don't fit our company culture and philosophy.

We're a fully remote company, and our company is people-first minded. We are a dynamic, remote team of engineers and designers, with people enjoying traveling, gaming, sharing, and doing things together. This philosophy is only sustainable with proactive people motivated to build something together as a team.

We'd love to find a software engineering recruitment agency that values our hiring process. Pre-filtering candidates, perhaps by doing some initial interviews with them. Checking if they could be a good match for the kind of company we are (beyond the candidate's skillset).

That would save us time, an agency whose profiles are people eager to speak with us and know more about us. But we understand this requires spending some time learning who we are, what we do, what kind of clients we have, and understanding the company culture we've built over the years. And we'd be happy to pay high fees if we see there's a proactive interest on their side to pre-filter candidates.

[Optional] If you want to have a little bit more context, we made a blog post about the issues we face and what we're looking for: https://mobilejazz.com/blog/why-recruitment-agencies-never-worked-for-us/

Have you worked with recruitment agencies? Has your experience been similar to ours? Did you find one that tries to understand your company and only brings you candidates who have high chances of being a good fit?

Any tips or recommendations on this?

Thank you!

Martin Luther of Christianity's Lutheranism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Luther_and_antisemitism

He was German and went on the influence people for centuries to come which inevitably formed the Nazi's objectives. Though obviously taking 400 years to do so, obviously Lutheranism is a thing that still exists today.

What's being described is really akin to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeitgeist

The irony is that censorship works in reverse. It inflames the zeitgeist and makes it stronger. This is why racist words like hate speech isn't a problem. That freedom of speech rights cannot include exceptions for hate speech.

What's a racist term for white people that you absolutely cannot say? There are tons of ethnic slurs against white people but there isn't really 1 you aren't allowed to say. There isn't really any super harmful slurs against white people.

What's a racist term for black people that you absolutely cannot say? Oh ya there's many here. The N word is an obvious first choice. However, it's the censorship and disallowance of saying the word that gives it the power. So as long as there are people who disallow the use of the N word, the racism continues. Want to end racism against black people? Stop trying to stop it.

Moreover, I'm pretty sure people know this. I find that the people who are most opposed to racism are often the most racist. They are doing this to continue racism. The only way forward to end racism is to drop the subject altogether.
What is wrong with using a regulated stablecoin for donations, instead of a unregulated volatile cryptocurrency like MobileCoin that with Signal can be used to privately finance lots of terrorists, extremists and conspiracy theorists chatting amongst themselves in a group chat?

Is that why Signal has not been banned for these uses yet?

My booksmark bar in Chrome fits 18 links.
There is more links than the websites I use daily or even monthly.

I think having more links than that it's HOARDING.
You have the feeling of creating value by saving the links but in practice you won't use most of them and anyway you have history and search to help you out.

Chrome even remove the bookmark bar by default. You have to add it back.
That is to say Bookmarks is for power users and the most powerful ones are probably just being collectionist rather than pragmatist.

To some extent it depends on the settings of the tournament because engines can work in the background and analyse position while it is not their turn. It is called ponder.

Time management is based on some heuristics built into the engine. Some positions that are being evaluated are more dynamic and engines have rules to evaluate positions which are settled down.

As for the hardware if 2 CPU engines are playing they have exactly the same resources. The problem arises when one engine is GPU based and the other is CPU. In this situations balancing the compute power is hard but even then they normally have the same time allocated.

This is why all subsidies should be in the form of cash. Give poor people cash rather than obfuscate prices, which then results in hampering of market mechanisms and results in inefficient allocation of resources.

Is Israel THE go-to haven for security firm and three-letter agencies to arbitrage/bypass surveillance regulations?

If the CIA isn't allowed to do certain things for spying, so ... just have Israel spy on our populace and since we basically fund them and let them spy on us anyway, just make sure their database is open to us?

Where else is there 1) the talent and 2) the relative degree of trust?

There are a lot of stories from my childhood (of debatable ranking on the conspiracy scale) of the dirty pool and awful unconstitutional behavior by the CIA and other agencies.

It is my vague impression that the increased information awareness from the web tempered the bad behavior for a couple decades, but I think the old habits will start reappearing in "cyberspace" once they gain sufficient deniability, and people's live reach a level of "mortal" dependence on it.
I feel like I've missed the context leading to this perspective. Where was the discourse on t-cells shut down?

Even reaching for an analogy like the "gold rush" is bad discussion: the American gold rush was directly responsible for the rapid colonization of the west, which had negatives, but today is home to the most economically prosperous regions in the entire world. San Francisco wouldn't exist anything near its current form without the gold rush having happened; arguing Web3 is like the gold rush is tantamount to saying "its a bubble, it'll pop, but it won't disappear and it'll eventually become a stable, critical component of our society".

If you believe it'll pop and disappear, at least use a better analogy, like the dutch tulip bubble.

interesting – hadn't heard of quarto before. I dabbled some with building a wiki on top of jupyter lab (1) but have never really gotten beyond the yak-shaving step in the note taking domain. What few notes I do have I throw together in vim and grep for if needed.

Looks like agoose77 has continued implementing some interesting extensions towards a hybrid literate programming / Zettelkasten environment for jupyter though (2), may be worth checking out given your interest in quarto.

What problem can't be solved, given enough computation power?

That happens when you ban witches from everywhere. Anytime you get a platform that's not an insufferably clamped-down moderation hellhole, the cranks concentrate there and the site's just too cranky to be useful, even if cranks in small numbers could even be valuable.

Sadly, what passes for moderation at most places nowadays is even worse. It's hideous and stifling. If the cranks make places too annoying to stay at, woke moderation makes places feel pointless to participate in.
If you consider the few months of protection granted against severe disease, and not against infection, good enough and believe it’s possible and wise to keep giving people more and more ‘boosters’, and believe the risks of vaccines and an infinite list of boosters remain smaller than the risk of the disease itself and, should one choose to implement a mandate, the cost of losing the right to decide for yourself if you want the vaccine/boosters or not.

Conventional in terms of trucks overall, cabover did not come first for trucks, nor is it a conventional design.

I mean - if you aren't using any power - the base charge is usually less than $10/m.

This doesn't seem like an absurd amount of money to have power when your system inevitably goes down for a time.

Additionally - if you want to sell your house - you're going to lose a fortune taking it off the grid. It wouldn't qualify for most financing.

It's not worth saving $10/m for almost any rational/economic person.

No idea how, but it can. Everything else is far better in Darktable, but edit quality is all that really matters in the end.

This "everything is politics" line really needs to die. It's completely ignoring what people actually mean when they say "turned political" -- that people focus more on scoring points and amplifying divisions instead of the overall welfare of groups and individuals.
From my understanding, the drag caused by the flat back of the trailer causing a vacuum is much more impactful than the front shape. I believe a "pillow" of air kind of builds up in the front.

It also looks like truck in EU are limited to 55mph. When I tow our trailer (just with a normal vehicle), there's minimal difference between fuel economy between 45 and 60. Significant drops come into play at higher speeds.
That doesn't make sense. A major discussion in the public since Covid caught on was about herd immunity -- and that infection would drive some of this. Maybe the concern is that we aren't inclusive of natural immunity in our policies. But that is purely an issue of bureaucratic process (for example, there should be no false positives in administering a vaccine) and incentives (we don't want people to try to get infected since infected people can transmit the virus), not any statement about the science related to natural immunity.

Using the tools, trying the workflow, experiencing the friction, and just generally developing empathy for the day to day will make everyone better at their jobs. That includes job shadowing, which this is pretty much a form of. The major caveat is that you cant be part of critical path and its sometimes tricky to write even a great PR and expect honest feedback.
Your argument reduces to the well-debunked "if you've got nothing to hide" argument.

Actually, I very much might have something to hide. As do you.
The top line "eval" number is who is winning - positive means white is winning and negative means black is winning. "TC" is the time control - right now they are playing at 30 minutes + 5 seconds per move (for each side). Most of the other numbers are diagnostics about the chess engine's calculations.

Generally, their audience is "people who play chess" - and those people can be assumed to know this. If you don't play chess, watching a broadcast on Twitch or YouTube will be more enjoyable.
Currently I have a couple of Asus AC1900 that support both (Mesh via wifi only or cable), connected by cable. I'm not that satisfied with them, a few hiccups from time to time and I keep them basically because I got them for free. But this Omnia looks indeed interesting. The drawback of multiple APs is that you have to do multiple, identical configurations for the SSIDs on each one of them.
> The basic thesis is one of dedicated roles, with the manager archetype focusing their time towards enablement, communication, and expectation.

No, it's because programming requires a mental model of the software and most managers don't have that. Add in constant interruptions and the inability to focus and you have a recipe for disaster.

Would you sometimes take a break from programming to go help accounting do the accounting work? No, no you wouldn't - accounting would smack the tar out of you. Just because you think you can contribute because you used to be able to is the notion that you need to break, and this applies to other fields too.

> This starts young with telling kids they can't be good at multiple things. "You need to focus."

A lack of focus on a problem space is usually the problem, yes. This isn't because we want people to stay in their lane and want to keep kids from being creative. It's because difficult problems are hard to solve.

If you are going to spend hours pulling down code and building it, ask yourself this question:

"Is this the best use of my time? Is pulling down source code and waiting for a compiler the best thing I as a manager can be doing?"
Sale of 'Silent AirTags' on eBay and Etsy Raises Privacy Concerns
The "when to throw out an estimate" is something I've evolved on a lot in my career. Initially, naive happy path. After that, happy path + some overly-large fuzzy padding number.

Now, I push back on PMs who ask for an estimate at an unknowable point in the project.

The problem is not estimating work. The problem is estimating work volume risk (the range of work the project might take). And the only thing that can decrease that is prototyping and similar.

I work in somewhat of a sub-niche (automation), so have a larger than average number of black-box, outside-of-my-control, unchangeable components. But I've come around to believing modified spiral [0] is a better approach when risk dominates.

Sometimes, the right answer to "How long will this take?" is "It will take this long to get an answer to that question."

I can understand why it can be necessary, but why is being off-grid desirable? Having solar/wind/etc is great, but a grid connection gives you a bail-out in case things go south, e.g. an outrageously hot and windless summer night might create a demand that cannot be handled by your battery (if any).

My path was IC to Lead Engineer to PM. The Lead Engineer role really help me to get an idea what the next step would be. I liked it and made the transition about 7 years ago.

Staying in the same engineering domain when I transitioned into PM helps keep my technical curiosity engaged. I can do with less red tape and office politics, but it comes with the job, so it is unavoidable.

When I worked construction in my early 20s, I frequently had to drive various large trucks. I FUCKING LOVE the "cab over engine" design. The heightened visibility is everything.

My favorite truck was an Isuzu model (don't remember which) that was as elegant as it could possibly be for driving on narrow mountain roads in southern Appalachia (I covered an area surrounding the Smokey Mountains in TN/NC).
