Tell HN: "Upload your resume and then type it out” is hurting your company
I understand why it exists - text is easier to query than reading a resume, but it's a terrible and outdated design pattern that needs to go. But good news: there are better ways!

Some possible solutions and suggestions:

-Use a list of checkbox options for candidates to click skills/requirements that you want for the role. If you need SQL, JS, Python, and you believe a CS degree is necessary, then let candidates click which ones they have. No more messing with text! Bonus: You could add some kind of percentage of skills match metric when reviewing applicants (you should still review resumes, however).

Bonus #2: You can autofill the job posting with a list of desired skills instead of needing to type them out - just select which ones you need when creating the posting.

-You don't need user-entered text fields for keyword matching. Extracting text from PDFs and Word Docs is trivial. If your text extract fails or misses a min word count threshold, just trigger a secondary step for HR to review and manually copy the text and enter it. Point is, stop making users manually enter the text when applying, just pull it out yourself.

-If you insist on candidates typing out their resume, stop trying to extract text from resumes to autofill the application form. Personally, I'd prefer to just type it out rather than review it and fix all of the inevitable mistakes (or more likely, clear the fields and just enter it myself).

I have considerable experience hiring engineers, and I can tell you concretely that:

1. Strong candidates are hard to find.

2. A single bad hire can sink a team.

3. Technical interviewing is hard and far from solved.

Given these three things, why make it harder than it has to be by using a badly designed system when a few changes to the logistical process can fix so much?

And if the bosses balk, maybe sell it like this: the existence of your company depends on good hiring, so maybe assign an engineer or two to spend a few months building this out. Not to be all "Dropbox is easy build" - but the basic functionality for something like this is not terribly more complex than a CRUD app with file uploading. I know that's oversimplifying, but I bet you get my point.
Most L2s will require users to pay transaction fees in ETH. Some will have fee abstraction where people can pay with tokens, but the rollup themselves will still end up paying ETH on L1.

Ethereum will essentially be a settlement layer for rollups, and everyone will be doing their DeFi, NFTs, etc on the rollups which are almost treated like their own chains.
"To effectively solve inflation we need to attack all 4."

Why do you think that? You've listed four conceivable reasons for inflation. One could probably list another 20 after a bit more thought. That doesn't mean that these are all plausible. It seems entirely possible that just one of them accounts for just about all of the inflation. You haven't made any argument against this.

Of the four you list, (3) and (4) seem implausible. Why would corporations suddenly have become more greedy? Have fundamental constraints on the housing sector (you mean zoning restrictions, maybe?) suddenly increased?
> I _would_ call moving from a TI-83 to the TI nSpire CAS an upgrade

Having used all of TI-83, TI-84, and TI nSpire, I can say that unless you need and are allowed to use the CAS portion of the nSpire, it is a downgrade in almost every way.

In calculus, I could be done with a calculation on the TI-83 before my classmates in on the nSpire even got to the relevant screen - the UI makes molasses look fast. It may have more features, but at least at high school levels, you just straight up don't need them.
Current administration created gazillions of dollars out of thin air, far more than previous ones. They deserve the credit.
Do you use the Gmail account for everything (bills, user accounts, personal correspondence, etc.)? That can determine how difficult and time-consuming it will be.

I've been reorganizing my email usage the past few years. I first adopted a ProtonMail email for all accounts related to financial data. That just involved going to each bank, credit card, loan, etc. and following the update email address process for each. It doesn't take too long.

More recently, I moved everything else from Outlook.com to an email address using my own custom domain. I set Outlook.com to forward/redirect all email to the new address and then made a filter/rule on the custom domain email address to drop all mail addressed into a folder. As mail comes into this folder, I take whatever action is necessary to either update the sender that my email address has changed, or stop receiving email from that sender by unsubscribing or whatever.
Like Instagram and others they have gotten quite hostile to visitors without an account. I guess tracking and monetizing your users earns a lot more than displaying ads for everyone.
Do you know if there are any online classes that use this book as a reference? Or more generally, what type of courses teaches this subject?
Drawing Text on a Path in Compose Desktop with Skia
Sure, but in order to accommodate more users you need more routing nodes. Exponential scaling is a funny thing- systems work perfectly right up until they catastrophically fail. That's why it's important to understand these kinds of problems ahead of time, which LN is determined not to do.
This has nothing to do of course with Musk being quite visibly resistant to aggressive far-left tactics, and standing up to political rhetoric vs Sanders and Warren.

No, not a power game at all.

With the world we live in, and the high profile of Tesla, not to mention their great record on LGBT rights in the past, I literally find it impossible to believe this. Widespread racial segregation? Like which company would create it's own suicide by doing this? In Silicon valley, california, the most "progressive" place on earth? Which company or HR deparment in 2022 isn't terrified of even a hint of racism, and would jump and correcting it.

This is a hit job to show a rebel who's boss. Just like the wave after wave of attempts to get Rogan off Spotify.
Maybe there just aren't enough people in the world that want to be a part of something like Twitter. It's an aggressively public platform, which many people understandably don't want. one in twenty people in the world using your platform aught be enough for anybody, but the whole financial system we've set up around these companies is insane.
I feel so naive / out-of-touch when Twitter comes up. How is it we don't have a simple micro-blogging protocol. Like we do for email. Twitter didn't invent it, neither did Unix for that matter. Twtxt and others are doing some great things, but why don't we move from innovation to standardized protocols to enhance the user experience of the internet. Is it just great marketing driven by profits. As I said, I'm probably just naive, but it sure seems like a trivial protocol to write and then we can all jump on the task of building clients.
Surely you must be joking. Alphabet is the largest web scraper in the world. They would soon go out of business if robots.txt was the only data they scraped.

It’s not a web crawler. They are all web scrapers. And Alphabet/Google sells this data and makes profits from it.

It is not like it is trying to hide the fact that it is king web scraper.

Google has gotten in trouble from various publishers for this before. It is no secret there is a double standard in big tech.

Again if you are going to arrest a web scraper, then arrest the king of all web scrapers first to make it fair.

Data wants to be free. If it is publicly accessible then it is fair game.
Haha! I didn't look at the username!
What if you're asleep in your bed and the police burst in looking for someone else?
> you can't even hide them

I changed my trends location to Tokyo on someone's recommendation, and it's been a great workaround. I don't speak Japanese, so it's the same as 'hiding' the trends to my brain.

(I think the way to do this is 'Explore' -> gear icon, at least on desktop.)
The only recent comment I could find about raytracing on calculators on /g/ mentions a TI-86, and was posted after this repo was created, but before it was posted on HN (I used a 4chan archive to search for the comment): https://boards.4channel.org/g/thread/85596005/2-cores-4-thre...
I started reading "Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead" a few days ago, enjoying it a lot. Tokarczuk was mentioned in my book calendar recently, hadn't heard about her before that.

Best interview experience consisted of these things:

- the choice of video or audio only calls (I did audio only interviews for my current job and was hired. We didn’t do video until the congratulations call)

- the openness to ask additional questions via email

- the openness to let me answer interview questions via email for things that I couldn’t think of on the spot

- a short project via email

- answering more work related questions via email and leaving the interview for more of a getting to know you thing

- a conversation format where the interviewer contributes to the conversation

- exact dates of when to hear back

- a short profile of who you will be talking to

- a summary of what the interview will be about, and what kind of questions will be asked
It is yes, and even though the lightning network is considered one of the more secure/safe L2 networks, even it has had bugs (now solved) that potentially could have caused everyone to lose all their money, if those bugs had been taken advantage of.
I was caught in an avalanche a few years ago and was very lucky to not get caught below the surface. Although there wasn’t much time to think I felt for sure I was going to die. Be careful out there.
You are right. I have no experience with Go, but that's a fast compiler for sure.

Though they miss out heavily in the typing strength. If only it had Result/Either/Maybe types in the std lib from day 1, and proper sum types with some pattern matching switch statement, that would have made the language soooooo much better.

I find Elm also has good compile times. Maybe polymorphism and/or type-classes are what is hard to optimize.
Sure, but I'm surprised how big the difference is.
I will investigate. Sorry about that, and thanks for the input.
> Twitter also announced a new $4 billion share repurchase program, which replaces a $2 billion program from 2020.

So they're a growth stock, but really they're a dividend stock?
The companies don't have to foresee the future, there is no law requiring them to make estimates about future earnings/expenses/profits.
When you say the wealthy are immune because their wealth is in things that go up with inflation, what exactly are you thinking about? Not stocks for sure. Maybe those who have money invested in property for hire, but even then whether your income goes up with inflation strongly depends on where you are location.

Interesting to know: in some countries (eg. Belgium) wages are automatically adapted to inflation, so "the poor" aren't hurt at all.
Quick question: was there a reason you could not use Azure’s region support? https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/global-infrastructure/geog...

Or was it before Azure had that? Looks like they’ve had it for awhile, at least back to 2009 or 2010.
“Slippery Slope” is only a fallacy when you can’t reasonably draw a line from the proposed idea to the “dangerous” end result.
just the headline
They're doing that because they are traditionally secretive about mistakes in their back yard, and because there is zero upside to them finding the actual source. The CCP doesn't believe in the intrinsic value of openness in science and government.

It doesn't matter whether they did it on purpose like an evil mustache twirling villain, or some group of bats conspired to sully the good name of china, the rest of the world will still scream angry things at china. There's no way for them to win, so why bother.

Meanwhile the accusation of china doing bad things conveniently lets the rest of the world ignore the massive and blatant mistakes they made once the virus made it to their borders, as if an unfeeling chunk of proteins cares about national interests or what you call yourself

> We've been pumping money into the economy with no regard to long term inflation since the Obama administration.

Correct, and _even_ in this context, the printing in the last two years is shocking.

Everyone points to the slow down in the velocity of money as justification, but look at what has happened as long as the fed has been tracking money supply and velocity of money - no matter what time period, once velocity picks back up the fed _never_ decreases the money supply in response. The printer didn’t come with a shredder.
Wireguard needs an endpoint
Ah! Yes! Thank you! Blind spot.

I’ll find papers even though it might be a little late given the thread’s momentum. I wish I’d drawn up the connection first time around!

Off the cuff, I’ve seen results that inflammatory downregulation is associated with alleviation of depression – with both SSRI use… and psychedelic mushrooms! (which directly activate the same 5-HT2A receptor). A sense of a clear head is a common description in both instances. Both types of drug are known to alleviate depression, and are known to reduce inflammatory markers – the same as cis-urocanic acid is known to do. Lower those same markers, that is. The “pretty likely” part is my sense that there’s something there that’s causative for the feeling of clarity – yes. (Part of it. Maybe!)

There are also papers on cis-urocanic acid and… glutathione metabolism? or was it glutamine? in the brain.

I’ll dig up something concrete.

(I was very, very surprised to learn about these mechanisms. I’m not at all speaking as someone who’s into psychedelics. Just someone who marvels at what seems to be the molecular biology.)
FB deservedly gets a lot of criticism. I personally feel Twitter doesn't get its fair share of blame. IME Twitter is the most toxic social media platform out there. Twitter deserves a fair share of blame for the divisive political culture we live in right now. I hope these companies go bankrupt and it'd be nothing but a blessing for humanity.
Burundi or Anguila are also good choices
I think it depends on the topic. I don't think you will find many sockpuppet accounts when you are talking about some CS programming framework... but you want to talk about politics? Its where the culture war is being waged.
I onced decided to structure my cv as a json and write a js script to automatically fill in such forms. Wasn't perfect but surely saved me time.

Why not standardise cv's in a json format and have companies accept them?
> Revenue is a much more concrete figure that sort of tells its own story, unlike profit.

But if you look at a company that is always in the red with no plan to become profitable, the question becomes:

- how is this a business?

- where is money coming from?

- why is money still coming?

Twitter seems to be mostly profitable in the past few years.
Python on the TI-84 series is run on a separate ARM Cortex-M0+ micro-controller with 256 KiB of Flash and 32 KiB of RAM, hooked to the ASIC with what appears to be a UART. In other words, it's just about the worst performing Python implementation in a graphical calculator to date: https://www.cemetech.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=285853#285853 (alongside a rant about removal of C/ASM support, some points about it being outdated).
When my family communicates via text, it is almost exclusively through MMS. YMMV.
According to the CDC 1,027 people / 1000k died in 2020 compared to 870 people /100k in 2019. +157/100k (18%) is definitely more, but not an absurd amount more. I believe our response was appropriate.
I believe we do: it's called ActivityPub[1], and it's what Mastodon and others use.

There were a quite few independent efforts to bring C#/.NET to the web the proper way (JSIL, SharpKit, WootzJz) but Microsoft was never interested in them and for some reason chose the invest in the worst and most wasteful technical solution.
France to Build Six New Nuclear Reactors
My current position’s interview went exactly as you described in the latter half of your comment. Sometime later after I was hired I asked why I wasn’t really thoroughly whiteboarded. My boss replied, “All I needed to know was that you had critical thinking skills and that you could solve problems. I was whiteboarded and I hated it. I remember walking away from the experience feeling like it said nothing about me,” and there was scarcely a single question he had asked me during the interview that I could give him a straightforward answer to. Almost every answer I gave him began with or included some version of, “Well, it depends. What about x?”
I don't really get the terminology of "backend" and "frontend" languages. To me, JavaScript is just a dialect of C anyway and the browser is just an OS. It doesn't make any sense to specify any particular usage except to acknowledge that for frontend development, JavaScript is the most popular choice. And so what? Most frameworks (like Angular) are heavily-based in patterns that came from other languages.
It isn't about "one computer talking to another", it's about where sensitive information is stored. It has never been legal to store classified US intelligence on computers outside of the control of the US government. That's an extreme example, but the handling of many types of information is prescribed by laws in different jurisdictions. Does that mean that US computers cannot "talk" to another other computers? No. Does that make the internet invalid? No.

Decentralization of the cloud is a good thing for so many reasons. I think you're deliberately confusing it with your PII issues and not grasping the larger picture.
I actually still get a pretty decent experience out of Twitter. The only topic I really engage with is remote work.. I don’t follow very many people (only humans who post real content) and unfollow anyone who goes “off topic”. Which is too bad, but it keeps my feed simple and sane.

I feel like Twitter would be way better if people had different topics you could subscribe (or not) to.
The boot-up time is really a killer. I also just can not get used to the input/keyboard of the nSpire.

My actual workflow is to use DM42/HP-35s for anything I can do with those, and if it's more complicated, I'd rather launch Octave or MATLAB. I just can't make my nSpire work for me.
As I'm just about to start shopping for TVs, like LG generally and would love it if I could root it, you know if there is any list of compatible models somewhere? I did some browsing and could only find which webOS versions that are vulnerable, but not which LG model runs what version ("out of factory" version at the very least).
Hello fellow Hackers, Saoud from Fakespot here.

We are excited to announce the latest product in the Fakespot suite, NFT Guard!

This extension will provide verification of NFT collections/NFTs on OpenSea (for first release, we are planning other marketplaces based on user/community feedback) and the detection of scam mint sites that will steal your tokens once a wallet is connected.

Please leave comments here and I'd be more than happy to answer them!
To this point, that's actually what I use Instagram for now. I'm almost more interested in the ads on there than the content of the people I follow. I've found clothes brands that I'm interested in, new shoes that fit my vibe, and lots of concerts that I'm interested in. I think the biggest gain for a lot of them is brand awareness. I haven't actually bought much because I don't need new clothes at the moment, but come spring when I'm looking for a new outfit or two, I'm definitely coming back to a couple of those sites.
Open source creates a superior product, technically and morally. Silicon valley creates a more addicting product.
The article's point is that it doesn't hurt the poor as much, because more poor people can find jobs, pay off their loans more easily, and they do make more money.

Not to mention that the price of everything isn't going up a single number -- poor people can adjust their spending to account for the items that reflect the highest inflation, and focus on the goods that are least effected.

The article isn't suggesting there are no downsides to inflation, it's suggesting that there are substantial upsides that directly address some systemic inequality in global society.
This lacks nuance. Who inequality "hurts most" depends on a huge number of factors. As I previously mentioned, there have been numerous historical instances in which inflation contributed to dramatic decreases in inequality. The fact is, though, inflation's relationship to inequality isn't simple, hence my characterization of inflation as a "blunt-force instrument."
There is a big difference between "the car can handle it" and unsafe.

For an extreme example, see: School Zones.
I agree with the author's central thesis, but I disagree with the cause.

I came of age in the 1990's, the era of participation trophies and "follow your passions" / "you can become whatever you want." Anecdotally, societal pressure to push students into STEM wasn't really a thing yet.

We had the same problems then as the author is having now: too many people who are incapable of critical thought and worrying more about rote memorization.
The thing about HTMX is that the mental model about state should tend towards "the server is aware of everything". With the added benefit that you can achieve better RESTful URLs that respect the navigation actions. Without having tried this (but having used HTMX quite a lot), I would try the following (let me know if I didn't understand the problem correctly):

Checkout has the following URLs, one for each step:

* page.com/checkout (optionally with ?step=0)
* page.com/checkout?step=1
* page.com/checkout?step=2
* page.com/checkout?step=3

Now you need 2 things:

1) Making sure the server knows how to render all those pages independently (like if the user does a hard-refresh or if they open that URL directly, without navigating to it through a link). Note: I believe this should be the default in any website if you respect the concept of a URL (whether client or server-side rendered).

2) If there's a form input at each step, the server needs to store that info and be aware that the user has an incomplete checkout.

Now the user is at step=2 and presses the back button, or clicks on the step=1 link. In that case, the server should know the information stored in the point no. 2 above, and return an HTML form with the data pre-filled based on the last state. E.g:

<input type="text" id="name" name="name" value="Foobar">

I think there are 3 main keys:

1. You need different URLs for each step.
2. Each URL should work both with HTMX (maybe using hx-push-url or the HX-Push header) and *without*. That is, any navigation to that page should also render the same HTML.
3. The server needs to be aware of the state. When a user requests page.com/checkout?step=2, the server should know if the HTML form requires pre-filled values.

This increases a bit the complexity on the server, but I believe it reduces the client-side complexity a lot more.
You do realize by the same logic this inspires competitors to innovate...
