Oh I know I have it good. 1% in terms of income. And I come from a really unprivileged background. Uneducated parents, family on welfare. Shit man, we were so poor, I got into college for free based on needs.
Gotcha. I read the README and it wasn't clear to me that this is how Caldera works. Sorry about that.

I'll add that the API for implementing components in LiveViewJS follows the Phoenix API (mount => handleParams => handleEvent => render) rather than the React API.
My partner and I are creating a product every month this year (https://12products.xyz) so every product in this project is "I don't care if this success".
When I was interviewing developers from a very large offshoring firm, they covertly had an account manager listening in to take down the questions for future candidates. Each interview, I'd ask a slightly different variation and it became obvious what was going on when a candidate gave a textbook answer to the question I'd asked the previous candidate, including references to tables I hadn't mentioned and that had no purpose in the problem I presented them.

Also had an incident where I interviewed one person but am pretty sure someone different showed up and was completely clueless about the most basic tasks. Within a week I think they figured out that I was onto them and made some excuse to quit about taking a contract closer to home.

Honestly, at this point many American companies have an office of their own offshore, and it's generally considered more prestigious and better condensated to work for those companies directly, so I assume there's close to zero talent left in the large outsourcers.

How would the increase in the number of nuclear power plants lead to more nuclear weapons? There is no direct connection besides edge cases like Iran using it as a cover to develop nuclear weapons.

Oh God, I got two paragraphs in and thought, "This sounds like Unbounded Solutions/BrighterBrain/Enhance IT." They called me a few times, then I looked them up and discovered their business model, and everything in me said "avoid, avoid, avoid". Knowing there's another firm doing this, and hearing the sordid details, has me feeling blackpilled at the state of the industry.
I don't think you will find any human that will extrapolate sequence generated with more than 10 operators. And longer input sequences are actually easier to handle - fig 1. the right most graph.

If you think you can do better than their program then:

Seq1: [0, 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 13, 26, 32, 58, 116, 142, 258, 516]

Seq2: [2, 2, 3, 5, 10, 12, 22, 44, 54, 98, 196, 240, 436, 872]

Seq3: [3, 1, 8, 9, 18, 19, 37, 74, 92, 166, 332, 406, 738, 1476]

Their program is able to guess correct continuation with one more sequence element.

Sure but it very rare for an account with substantial follower numbers not to be a blue check (unless they became prominent during a time when Twitter had suspended the verification program for new blue checks). Blue checks also get recommended as people to follow more which inflates their numbers so it is a feedback cycle.

I would wager that a blue check on Twitter is more valuable and monetizable than most 4 yr degrees.
It is not just them and it is a game everyone plays, including their clients. I had several engagements with them on various projects, we had to use them because the internal headcount was limited, while for external suppliers there was no limit, so we had up to 5 external people for every of ours. Most of these kind of companies behave the same, we had small specialized suppliers that provided good quality and value for the work, but the companies on a comment below are all in the same bucket of garbage.
I graduated from college with a degree in English & Creative Writing, and wrote several stories for my college's literary magazine. Some were accepted and some were rejected. What I noticed after a short time was that everything I wrote that was about death, loss, oppression, and other negative topics was accepted and anything with a positive slant was rejected. I don't know about others, but I find a steady stream of downer stories boring and depressing. Since that was all they seemed to publish, I canceled my subscription.

As you mentioned, it seems that certain literary magazines are still doing relatively well. Maybe if more literary magazines published things that people wanted to read, they'd be better off.

Exactly. Even if we take MIT which seems to graduate AT MOST 10,000 students each year -- times 10 (10x)-- it's only 100,000 graduates. The 1 million comes from where?
I think you've nailed it.

Prospects, if they can overcome the flattery of being offered a title beyond their skill and experience, should actually recognize such as a warning sign. After all, a company willing to do such a thing is likely a place full of stupid and inflexible policies where HR has too much power.

Sorry you have to play such games to get decent talent, but beware a nasty side effect: your actual senior engineers are going to need new titles to reflect the peer group they actually belong to. They may be (and perhaps rightly so) insulted by the insinuation that a new graduate is equally valuable to the company.
> I care about things like latency

Good luck bootstrapping your first Kovarex U235 units!

A properly done Kovarex U235 takes about 2-hours to bootstrap itself. By this point in the game, you need to be able to "predict" how the factory will work in 2+ hours of latency and make sure things work as expected. (Or I guess you can blueprint copy/paste from an internet forum... but I find that "my own designs" are what make Factorio fun)

------

Once you're able to "predict" how the factory works in 2, 3, 4 hour scales, a lot of good designs open up. You focus on throughput and *eventual* designs... willing to wait 3 hours to get things done.

And by "wait", I mean go play somewhere else for those 2 hours. There's always more work to do, a design that takes 3 hours to complete _AUTOMATICALLY_, but only 5 minutes of manual / human input is superior to a design that takes 10-minutes of human effort but completes in 15 minutes.

The #1 resource in Factorio is player-attention. You should be laying out designs, and then _LEAVING_ in most situations. You let the bots complete the area and come back to "verify" when they're done.

Too bad. Life isn’t fair. Evolution got us to where we were, and I’m glad that we have consciousness due to relentless natural selection.
I have a problem with any paper-based solution which that the paper tends to disappear (or become lost). This effect becomes worse if you work from multiple locations, go on vacation etc. Each transition between work location introduces the potential to lose track of the paper. That said, I think a paper system is a good way to debug the workflow prior to creating a persistent software implementation.
Georgia Tech is consistently ranked a Top 10 CS program (worldwide) and their OMSCS program now accounts for 10% of all MSCS degrees issued. It costs about 6,000 to 7,000 USD total:

"OMSCS started in January 2014 with 380 students. Enrollment increased each semester (excluding summer terms). In 2019 I believed that we were very close to the peak, since we are graduating more and more students. But then, the pandemic hit and we have kept growing every semester. This spring term we just passed a new mile stone – we have over 12,000 students, 12,016 to be precise. We might be at the peak or very close to it. Apparently, OMSCS is the biggest degree program, online or not in any subject in the US and probably the world. More importantly, the degree is of the same quality of the on campus program. We have 56 courses (we started with 5); several courses now have over 1,000 students. We graduated 1,970 in 2021 for a total of 6,470 so far. We are graduating in a year well over 10% of the number of those that graduate with MS in CS in the US." - Zvi Galil

Meta: this has been bugging me for ages as I see it becoming more and more common (I think it’s over half of such “Show HN” sites with their own domains now that are blank for me, a JavaScript-disabler-by-default mostly for performance), but I’ve never asked anyone; why do you use Next.js for the marketing website, rather than just writing HTML? As it stands, the page is blank if one doesn’t execute JavaScript, and it’s executing almost a megabyte of JavaScript where as far as I can tell the only thing it’s doing that straight HTML with no JavaScript couldn’t do is the spinning globe. This just seems like a terrible fit for client-side rendering, unambiguously worse for the client (slower to load, less reliable, and excluding various users and bots—even Googlebot doesn’t always execute JavaScript, only after a while in general, I think), and I wouldn’t have thought that it would be any easier for the developers. So I’m curious: firstly, am I missing something and the use of Next.js actually does make life much easier for the developers, even for what should be simple HTML like this? And secondly, is there some reason why almost no one seems to be enabling server-side rendering or generation when they use Next.js like this? (I thought those features were a key part of why people would choose Next.js, and would have assumed from what I had heard that SSR would be enabled by default, but maybe not?)

(Personal context: plenty of web frontend and backend experience, but no React, as I’ve favoured lighter things, such as Svelte for the last few years; and I tend to just write straight HTML, possibly with simple templating. I’m not seeking to criticise or condemn here, just to understand. I understand why you’d depend on JS for web apps, just not for simple marketing sites.)

OK - but the idea of a "filter class" is simply that the material itself is somewhat challenging, and the class syllabus is fairly fast-paced.

Not that you put banana peels in front of the students (like problem sets with no exercises). As it to discourage them for the sake of discouraging them.
after reading through it there was, and maybe still is issue with the system, it was duped multiple times by someone with a wig and fake drivers license.

> The lecturer obviously has the solutions.

No, that’s not obvious at all. The lecturer can obviously sit down and solve these problems, but it doesn’t mean that she already had done so. Sitting down and writing clear solution that the students can follow is substantial amount of work.

I worked as TA at university, and one of my tasks was to grade homeworks and produce example solutions. The lecturer did only provide the problems, and writing down solutions was my job. It took nearly as much time as grading homework from 15 people in my group.

That's still functional, monads aren't impure or anything :)
We get I think something on the order of 10,000 customer service tickets a week, and we regularly get subpoenas. We've heard almost every story you can think of. Although we are getting inquiries with this recent press, in terms of actual reports of stalking via our devices it is essentially zero.

AirTags has a much broader network than us as of now. Part of why we bought Tile is because we can expand their network. We aren't as big as Apple but we have about 10% of devices so it will get us way up the S curve.

So I could see it becoming more of an issue, which is why I'm looking for ideas. One thought would be to rate limit updates - at some frequency you get 90% of the benefit for lost items (since they don't move unless it was lost on say a train) but it dramatically hampers more nefarious use cases. That is just one thought. Or perhaps requiring ID verification and registering each device to a real human.
you could use a lot of different cheap pre-paid sim card to burn a lot of numbers too.
Keep in mind that with other communication mechanisms (e.g. email, SMS) we already send over a copy of the message and keep the original. I'm not saying it's "better" from a privacy perspective, just that it seems like the logical solution here, and I'm not sure how a court might conclude otherwise. The data is being hosted in Europe at that point. It's just that a copy needs to be sent to the recipient only when the message is initially sent (because how else do you communicate?!).
You could potentially use a UAV for a sophisticated cyber attack on a specific system.
End justifies the means, to me this doesn’t cross the line, except for the potentially visa fraud part and the feeder org could just be upfront about what they’re doing.

For the us citizens into something like that it doesn’t matter to me.

Once you get in the organization and good salary figure it out, it’s the big tech that has an inefficiency screening process that isn’t good for anyone. They should be having their own bootcamps imo, train your potential employees.

I live in the EU. Their support page mentions that they will ask for age verification when you attempt to watch a restricted video, but I was not using the YouTube account.

Meeting legal requirements is very different from saving your card in Google Payments, which then you can readily use to buy products in any Google service.

I swear this story was already posted earlier in the week with another popular post. I can't find it though.
When I read "senior" I often interpret it as "has a lot of experience" which has nothing to do with skill. Speaking for myself who has a shit ton of experience in a lot of tools, techniques, languages and so on but is SHIT in most of them. I'd be hired before a lot of better candidates based on my years of experience in the area but not because of my skill in the area.
So, anytime a protest asks for government officials to resign, it's now a "threat to democracy "? I'm sorry, but that is so ridiculous and such a transparent way to justify getting any protest you disagree with to be dealt with with violence ( I mean, it's an overthrow attempt, according to you, right? That would require the army to intervene? ). You have to realize that sometimes protests happen, and you won't agree with them, and everything you disagree with is not a threat to democracy. Labeling every protest a coup is the blatant threat to democracy here.
The terms of domain "rental agreements" are much more standardized and user-friendly than those applying to phone numbers in the PSTN though, in my experience.
Just rephrase the job title on your resume so it's faithful to reality but not the literal title.

At my last job, my formal title was "Systems Integration Engineer", which has a real industry definition as recognized by various engineering fellowships. Since I did very little formal Systems Integration at the job, I labelled myself as a "Cargo Logistics Engineer" on my resume. It worked fine.
What I did was train GPT-3 that I was asking a math question and then have it run some JavaScript to do the math with the text it thought was math formulas to get the answer.

It really depends on what kind of developer you're looking for. In the web applications I've worked on, knowledge of application architecture and experience with linux trumps anything I learned in a college course.

Based on my experience, theory problems on white boards is about as useful as dropping a CUPs automation problem on unsuspecting interviewees.

Build me a CUPs driver that drops pdf into in folder in 15 minutes or less. Without documentation.

Bonus points if you can ask if you can skip that bullshit and install and configure an existing a package.

Note: I'm a senior developer with at least a decade of experience. I don't just slap two libraries together. If you want to have fun, dig into how macOS sandboxes CUPs. My bash scripts were not happy.

I found these three portions intersting:

>[LandAirSea] which sells about 15,000 devices per month... tells these callers they should go to the police, because they will need a subpoena to determine who owns the device they discovered.

>My husband, of course, had agreed to this in principle, but didn’t realize just how many devices I had planted on him. Of the seven trackers, he found only two..It is impossible to find a device that makes no noise and gives no warning

>For all the bad press the AirTags have gotten...at least I was consistently getting notifications they were following me...The privacy dangers of the other trackers were way worse

"Brussels" is not one entity and this is not just about Facebook. Strange that some people are so invested in political believes that they need to insert it in places one would not expect. Do you know that there was lot of right not only far-right content removed from FB?

Maybe you did have uncovered "what is actually going on" or maybe you are just driven by "enemy of my enemy".
I'm sorry but this kind of calculation is handwavy to the point of absurdity. The author might as well be pulling this number out of a hat.

1. 25% chance for literal anything at all, sure, why not.

2. 66% reduction from vaccination plus booster (but requires booster)

3. 50% reduction from being asymptomatic early on and then this went up later,
combined with asymptomatic cases not being quite totally safe

4. 50% reduction from Omicron only, on precautionary principle

5. 50% reduction for sticking around

6. 0% reduction from the second sticking around reduction because I’m worried about 7. accidentally double-counting somewhere and want to be safe

7. 60% reduction for ‘as bad as all that’ based among other things on my survey

8. 25% reduction for misattribution to give benefit of the doubt

9. 0% impact of good health

That gets us back to a 0.2% chance of Long Covid conditional on first infection, and less than that less for all future ones combined because of immune strengthening.
How do SMS/MMS/email/etc. handle this? Are you saying they would all become illegal? Or is this law going to uniquely place requirements on social media that other communication systems do not/would not comply with?
Large outsourcing companies are not really hired for talent (at least not from what I saw in the investment banking world).

They're hired as scapegoats, and attached to an already failed project. Then they're publically blamed for the failure, while the actual guy responsible gets away with murder (and maybe even hops into a new internal role with better pay).

If I was to rename the consulting/outsourcing industry, I would probably call it the "professional scapegoat" industry.
