Do you have notifications turned off in every native app you also use? The reason scummy linkspam websites are the "only" ones using web notifications these days is specifically because it's not a reliably useful feature. App developers who want to make a good user experience around notifications are instead pushed to making native apps instead.

Personally, I don't use the native Twitter app anymore. I use the web version of Twitter, installed as an app, complete with shortcuts in my launchers. I have web notifications turned on and the experience is nearly identical to the native app. But there are little details that I think make it a better experience, like haptic feedback on mobile when clicking the Like button, or being able to select subsections of text on the screen. I have this on my Android phone, my Linux laptop, my Windows desktop, and my Mac Mini. It's exactly the same interface, everywhere, whereas the native app is ever so slightly different from the web app.

I have a lot of sites that I've installed as apps on my computers and it's great: SoundCloud, LiChess, HBO Max, NetFlix, Azure Portal, TeamWork, a couple of different WebGL games, my own management interface for my app at work. It's all basically just a shortcut to the site, without the URL bar chrome. I like it a lot more than using tabs.

The more you differentiate yourself, the more likely I am to listen. My priority is:
1. Internal recruiters. They have real pull.
2. External recruiters that give me real information and give me quality information before I get on a call and why I might be interested.
3. External recruiters that are working with a company that I have prior interest in.

Below this, I usually don't respond.

4. Recruiters that ask if I can "get on a call" to get me details.
5. Recruiters from big name firms. (Robert Half et. al)
6. Low quality recruiters that have no connection to what I do.
> Virtually all humans roll stop signs from time to time.

Are you in California by chance?

Because I rarely see that behavior in Washington state. Dead of night empty roadway people will come to a full stop at a stop sign.

> It's safe when done in appropriate circumstances, yet it's illegal.

You mean like when a driver thinks they don't see anyone else around? While driving a car with giant A pillars that block a large % of the street and sidewalk from view?

Just, like, always stop at stop signs. It isn't that hard.
There is. It's called programming.

Are the signs not delimited by day of week, time and month where you are? E.g.

Where I live, police can and will ticket you for speeding during those times. Regardless of if there's students around or if school is even in session or not.
I've been working on a city builder/simulation video game for the last few months. If that's something you're curious & passionate about, send me an email (see profile).

The game is built from the ground up with SFML and C++. The graphics are sprite/tile based. The game is top down, 2D, and will display the interior of buildings so you can watch your citizens live their lives. You'll be able to change z-levels for multi level buildings.

The focus of the game will be more on the simulation (Dwarf Fortress is a huge inspiration) than on building pretty cities (e.g. Cities: Skylines), although I do care about the art direction.

I have a long runway to take off from, about 2-3 years, so I have the time (and patience, and desire) to care about quality and efficiency.

What Im working on now:

Here's a brag & demo of the pathfinding I am currently wrapping up:

https://i.imgur.com/vtKXKLK.mp4

Note a few things:

* All possible paths are found in O( m + n log n ) time, even though there's a binomial coefficient number of possible paths in this grid. The tree is stored in memory for constant time access. Im using parallel flat hash maps to significantly lower the memory footprint.

* The units choose the shortest path that match their preference (i.e. the color of the unit), thus choose a path that contains the most tiles of their color.

* Pink units dont have a preference and will use any of the paths available.

* I'm not an artist!

* Currently wrapping up multi-lane road pathing (which is quite tricky!).

* In the game, preferences will be history, tourism, beauty, food, neighborhoods the unit can relate to (religion/nationality), etc.

The same could probably be said for software.

You can't make any money homesteading software either. Get a half rack 22 u servers, install the os (set up a pxe boot server and golden images plus a bootstrap script). Build out your storage, app server database server, load balancer, write your app, get customers, do support, fix bugs, release features.

You could probably break even with a well targeted market and not hire anyone else (maybe keep it in the immediate family) but you're constantly competing against products whose costs are built on economies of scale. Even if your not up against a giant corp, your up against someone with funding that's probably using giant corp tech.

Even if you do use giant corp tech (which isn't a thing you can do with physical land so I didn't factor that in) bootstrapping a boutique software company has some long odds and long hours. Bits tough work to know and do everything. That's why people specialize and companies hire specialists.
> I've made it my policy to never work with a recruiter that isn't affiliated with the company they're hiring for.

This is a massive privilege. A lot of companies interview in a way that I couldn't pass years ago, so I depended on external recruiters to get me jobs. This was basically how I made a living in the South without a CS or CE degree.

The universal truth I see throughout every career advice thread is always take this advice with a grain of salt.
If a cop watches me roll through an otherwise empty stop sign intersection at 5.6mph, they would absolutely give me a ticket.
But those standards doesn't mean anything if they are still bad teachers. Would you hire a software engineer with a 4 year degree who can't code? No, of course not. But would you hire a teacher with a 4 year degree who can't teach? Of course you would! You just need them to tick a box, their skill as a teacher isn't relevant, if they have a piece of paper they meet the bar and are hired.
I don't like to ignore recruiters, but it's hard to answer them correctly. I'm always looking for a nice way to articulate "I'm comfortable with my current job, but interested in exploring whether I'm being compensated fairly. I don't want to slam any doors. But, I am also not up for the hazing session of grinding leetcode, filling out online forms, doing take-home tests, phone screens, and 5 rounds of interviews, just to find out at the end of it all what my current market value is."
Yep. It was already like this when I got an iPhone 5 and as far as I know it's still the same on the iPhone 13.

While these days we have faster technologies, bluetooth is available on most devices. It's like SMS, but for file transfers. Another reason for me not to buy iPhones.

Yes, but this is Oracle we are talking about. For every developer they have 4 salesmen and 5 lawyers...
I'm not. There's no point suing for patent infringement unless (a) you want to squash competitors or (b) you think you'll get a bucket of money.

Since they were bought up by a nonpracticing entity, (a) doesn't apply. There's no way they'll recoup their $600M investment by going after companies that sell low volume, low margin devices.

By the time the Linux phone people have war chests to raid, theses patents will be expired. Rest assured they're targeting some subset of FAANG. The article mentions a patent on charging batteries.

Facebook and Amazon sell stuff with batteries in them. Perhaps the trolls think they can extract a few hundred million from Oculus and Fire tablets. Come to think of it, Tesla probably has some cash laying around, and I think their cars can move and also contain batteries. Why should they be allowed to freeload?

Similarly, ICE cars use lead acid batteries, don't they?

This patent could be a gold mine, and we owe it all to RIM for inventing the rechargeable battery in the mid 1990's!

I wonder when the current patent on charging rechargeable batteries expires. I wonder who the PTO will issue the next iteration to, and if they're publicly held...
Honestly that autoresponder reply reads a bit condescending and borderline rude, but it could be just me.

As soon as you make the rolling stop legal people will push the limits of that law and drive straight through if they think the way is clear.

The numbers of drivers driving through reds (at least here in coastal San Diego) has noticeably increased over the past two years, previously people would hit the gas if the lights turned yellow, now they are hitting the gas if they see yellow (and crossing through the intersection on red). Accident statistics seem to back that up https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/29/us/red-light-deaths-trnd/inde...

Making traffic rules less strict seems like a recipe for more accidents and deaths.
Do this with eprint please!
I think this was more common years ago. MySQL and MariaDB have diverged more in the years since which means that people want to know which they're installing. For example, RedHat Enterprise Linux used MariaDB as the default in RHEL 7, but RHEL8 splits them back out.

https://mariadb.com/kb/en/incompatibilities-and-feature-diff...

While they're still quite similar and many of the differences might not be something that you hit, there are enough differences that it should be explicit.
mysql is also trending down
talking about selling the same product.. TWICE.
Yeah it’s a racket they can hit you with double fines at any time they feel like it.
> Are they true at this instant? Maybe not, but

There's no "but". The situation right now is that starry-eyed proponents of renewal energy sources claim that they have already surpassed nuclear etc. When in reality they can't cover the basics. And the answer to that? "Oh, yeah, sometime in the future there may be something to complement this".

> Note that the application of green hydrogen I'm talking about here, grid backup, does not require replacing existing natural gas use with hydrogen. Nor does it require long distance hydrogen pipelines.

Ah yes. Because green hydrogen just magically appeares every time you need it when you say "green hydrogen" three times
Instagram was an example, replace it with Whatsapp or Telegram or Twitter or any other uber popular service.

My original point was that IRC/Usenet would most likely be similarly cancerous if it had the same popularity. I remember sadly the end of Usenet when the moderators just couldn't keep up any more with all the spam, scams and people with no clue.
