id agree with these points, but argue its an everything kind of package that comes within the first year of someone hiring on.

whenever I help hire a senior-level engine mechanic or technician for a shop, I need to know they can do the work without a lot of supervision. I also need to know theyll resolve the issues on the shop floor and be able to communicate those issues to a customer as well as a greenhorn tech straight out of a brake shop without chewing them up if its their fault. They need to have the ability to delegate things, get along with people and get the job done.

most of all, i dont need the team to see "a new senior mechanic just got hired." I need the team to see a new mechanic and form a consensus that she is senior based on their walk, not my talk. in that first year ill spend more time in the break room sucking down folgers and listening, or just walking the floor stocking ear plugs and soap dispensers and waiting to see what they do.

Luckily, it looks like most distros don't load this module by default.
> That said, if you're looking for a new job and are still a junior, you're probably switching far too quickly.

couldn't disagree more. people should change jobs every week if they're able to. why stay at company A making X, if company B is willing to hire you now, for 1.5-3x? if you stay at a company for an arbitrarily long period of time, you're just throwing away tons of money
> I opened an app linked to the most precise tracker in my arsenal, the $30 LandAirSea device. To activate it costs extra, because it needs a cellular plan to ping global positioning satellites.

I feel like someone who writes about privacy and surveillance should at least know how GPS works... nothing "pings" a GPS satellite here. GPS signals are constantly being broadcast to the ground for anyone to receive. The cellular plan is so the device can phone home to tell an online service what the device's position is, after determining it from the (free to use, open air) GPS broadcasts.
Yes but more than that you don't write any Elixir / Phoenix code. Check out the examples in the repo to see some code.
Hi, it's me your local site reliability engineer. I care about things like latency, monitoring, and being able to understand the overall moving pieces. Scaling things in appropriate ratios is also relevant to me. I'd put you in a storage box and nuke if I could, but let's go have this conversation standing on these train tracks.
Staff is the new senior

Senior is the new “mid level” dev

Dev is the new “junior” dev

Especially in times when managers want to retain their best, they often can’t get HR to budge on salaries. So they promote them to get them into a competitive salary range.

Yep, and any other company he signs up for that doesn't ask for this basic piece of information is breaking the law.
If you graduate from any top 10 school in the US — which plenty of people do — it is indeed a pretty typical offer

Love how I’m downvoted for pointing out a fact. I mean, for fuck’s sake, look at levels.fyi. And look at how many people FAANG and FAANG-adjacent startups hire every year. It’s really not that rare. But hey, stay in denial.
The problem is that setters are usually void functions. Instead they could return the new state/object

State2 = obj.update(argx)

State3 = State2.update(argy)

But if you do this people will argue this is inefficient, because you are copying a lot of objects.
Staying in the loop. When most of the team resides at the office and I'm the one who's mostly remote, remaining in the loop is really difficult.

There's a lot of minor and major discussion on certain things, decisions are made, without one being able to witness them. One simply gets informed. Staying in the loop takes conscious effort.
Came here for this comment. This choice of headline by Meta seems like a bad choice. The language just reeks of double speak even if it isn't (No, I haven't read the article!). Who is running PR at Meta these days? "Dad Is Absolutely Not Threatening to Leave Mom".

Getting in to the article, the language is bizarre: "We have absolutely no desire to withdraw from Europe; of course we don’t." What? Who talks like that.
Watch: Tesla in 'Autopilot' mode crashes into police car
I'm also quite liberal with sharing my location (via Google maps) when traveling to meet up with friends, but it's always been a huge battery drain. I can't imagine what it's like being on all the time!

I would avoid the junior label, I see most backgrounds listed as `web developer` and then promoted to `senior web developer`
Factorio is an SRE game if there ever was one. It comes with graphs and dashboards. You can create audible alerts. The QPS (errr, biters) will come and the factory better be ready. Success failure is a thing.
Mars can already be useful as a springboard for space exploration. It's a literal stepping stone, both closer to the belt and outer planets in terms of distance, but also in terms of delta-v, since both the gravity well on Mars is smaller, and it's higher up in the Sun's gravity well, too. Any future space exploration and exploitation will be made tremendously easier if you can launch from Mars instead of Earth.
Stackoverflow isn't company support, it's programmers supporting other programmers.
Satisfactory is more designed for social interaction. That alone makes it worthwhile.

I suspect this is part of my own mindset. Satisfactory is all about watching the sunset over your factory as you goof around with good friends after a real world hard days work. There's no frantic action to be had by design. The factory is slower.

I really didn't like Factorio at all. It's either too frantic with enemies or just a grind with no enemies. I'm always down for Satisfactory and beer with friends though. That game has a relax and chill factor like no other.
hmm seems like a good candidate for paradise/hell /s
Oh but there is shared game state! Most of SRAM data is synced for ALTTP and there's even a PvP feature so you can slash at each other with swords and use some of the items to damage each other. Of course you can enable/disable whatever bits of state to sync or not.
I wish it were true, but I doubt it. The main thing I have learned is that people really don't care, until it affects them.
Yay, yet another vulnerability that wouldn't happen if running on CHERI/Morello hardware.
Every house here in New Zealand is wood, and humidity is pretty high. I have never seen this except for decking, where nails are a bad option.

I’ve see nails move a lot after earthquakes (sort of tearing the framing and cladding).

Maybe we don’t see this as the weather is nearly always humid as we don’t get a real winter (so we don’t have a humidity cycle)?
Sounds like a great opportunity to not use Twitter.
Anecdotal, but I've seen figures like "number 263 in line for representative, estimated wait time 8 hours" in the weeks after I got my lemon Pixel 6 and had to get it RMA'd. Even after I got through to a human, it took tons of effort to escalate away from the song-and-dance "troubleshooting support" to a person who actually had the ability to get a replacement mailed out.

Contrast with Apple, where I've gotten knowledgeable humans on the line within a minute or two, and scheduled a service appointment at a nearby store.

If Google wants its Pixels to be the iPhone of the Android world, then they should provide more than the bottom-of-the-barrel outsourced support they currently offer.
honest question, but is factorio not a similar itch to programming? I always feel with these type of games, that my time would be better spent working on a personal software project, where i get reasonably similar enjoyment, more satisfaction, and presumably more transferable skills.
> it hits the same dopamine receptors that productive programming does, just in a non-work context.

Plus without the inevitable bullshit that's coupled to any real work.
I wonder if a country will just mandate every household to have a Tesla like PowerWall installed within x years. Or some sort of incentives to have it installed. You can then have additional Grid Battery as backup. It is quite hard to store a week long electricity needs without some redundancy.
Your go-to reaction is thinking someone dressed up as an Ontario Police officer - which is illegal to do that - and was recorded on film doing that illegal act?

Let me ask: if this is real, if proven to be real, what would your reaction or thoughts then be? It sounds like you'd find it to be a very serious thing to do, so much so that you think someone was trying to fabricate it?

Edit to add:

I looked up the officer's name, the name she gave when asked. She earns over $100,000 - as do most (if not all) police - and so her salary is public record and on what's called the "Sunshine list" of public salaries above $100,000:

Erika Ingram
Position: Law Enforcement Officer / Agente d’exécution de la loi
Employer: Ontario Provincial Police
Category of Employment: Government of Ontario — Ministries

Salary Benefits Position
$131,533.19 paid in 2020 $141.00 Law Enforcement Officer / Agente d’exécution de la loi
Ontario Provincial Police
$106,863.71 paid in 2019 $130.12 Law Enforcement Officer
Ontario Provincial Police

So at minimum there's a registered officer with that name; I don't care to search for photos of the officer via Facebook or other means - but feel free to, or please call the OPP to confirm if this is a real officer, and a real visit, and report back to us here since you're so concerned it's fake.

How would you know?
Not to mention the article itself admits that she did pass the course just fine, she just had a miserable time doing so.
> It's entertaining albeit unfruitful to wonder who could be behind.

I'm not associated with anyone and I'll shit on fb/zuck as long as I can, I doubt I'm the only one. They're so widely criticised because they're the epitome of everything one can possibly hate about modern tech companies.
I'm not sure that is the case. The data that people are posting themselves on Facebook clearly has consent to be published.

What is not is all of the tracking that they do - not only on the Meta properties, but also all of the other websites who are dumb enough to execute code or otherwise expose their users to Facebook. Lots of them do it unwittingly too.
You asked why not. That's the answer -- why should platforms create an overcomplicated ML-based solution to try to screen read (assuming such a thing is even possible, which I don't believe it is), when existing solutions using standard frameworks work fine and _don't_ require devs to spend extra time?

Oversharing is not...
The dirty secret in the industry is that there is a gigantic shortage of devs that can do something or anything. And the clients just don't want to pay the rates that help make that shortage go away. They all want it on the cheap and are spoiled by fancy "SAAS" salesmen that "magically" solve all their problems for "$30-$500" a month, because their SAAS is always the answer.

Literally sitting with a client right now that has gone through at least 5 different CRM systems, each time paying a 3rd party boutique marketing agency to "set it up and migrate it" for them (along with some new ad-campaign software). 3 different attempts at a data warehouse (because they have a gazillion disparate white label and SAAS products in their company with no access to any of the data) and someone told them they need a "Data Warehouse Cluster", when they barely have 20k users. I could rant for hours because the industry is broken.

Oh, and they literally blank stare you in the face as you explain things genuinely with detail and care, and then turn around saying they'll just "consult with their marketing agency" to get their advice. But hey, let's all blame "consulting" companies because they try make something useful using the bottom of the barrel devs. *Not defending Infosys or Accenture and their like, though, fully agreed there.
Amazing how much gambling is allowed when you’re dealing with millions but hey if you’re poor you can’t get a loan for a thousand bucks.
“ at least in those countries you don't have to resign for what you do in your bedroom, consensually, behind closed doors...”

No, you go to jail instead for offending someone. But you still have a job to pay off your court debts with (the US, thankfully, doesn’t have looser pays courts).

As to the rest of your comment, I love it. Any criticism of the EU or Brussels is far right extremism and must be ignored. Its working out great for Trudeau smearing protestors and ignoring them.
I like this quote.

While I think impostor syndrome is real, I also can't believe that so many actually have it (judging from media mostly). I cannot personally relate either. I can relate with insecurity, anxiety and so on _very_ much. But much of that has been based on a lack of experience, practice and knowledge. When those things can heal "impostor syndrome" then it's not impostor syndrome - you'd still have it.

There is also a thing that comes up after more experience rather than less: "nobody has a clue what they're doing"-syndrome.

The idea or realization that real competence or knowledge is a fad in the first place. Everyone just tries really hard to figure stuff out, but nobody _really_ achieves that. There's confidence, good communication and so on, but those things are orthogonal to what I'm describing. And I include very smart and capable people here. In the end it's all based on a "wishy-washy, good enough, it works so far, those are my assumptions" kind of deal.

Not everything is impostor syndrome. Much of it is some version of any of the above, or just plain humbleness.
Good god, after reading the comments here.
I'm debating having my son home-schooled now too.

I was thinking private school, but its clear there is some kind horror show going on in the US right about indoctrination of political ideologies gone insane.
Hey hartator. I don't have deployed but there is a `npm run examples` that starts up a local server with nine different examples of various complexity (code in `src/examples`). Also there is a separate repo using LiveViewJS to implement a TodoMVC application - https://github.com/floodfx/todomvc-liveviewjs.
Nope. For the control group to be valid, it must be drawn from the same reference class as the treatment.

You could of course argue that in all respects that matter for the risk of heart disease, people who take vaccines are the same as people who don't. I would disagree, and only a bet could settle the difference.
Erm, 1. doesn't really make sense, because EU isn't really the problem here. It should read "siloing off the US Facebook". And that makes perfect sense.
Ask HN: Do “underrepresented” engineers hang out here?
Hopefully this won’t become flame-y, but I have the sense that HN tends to have a predominance of engineers who fit a (admittedly limited in actual meaning) stereotype of white (or maybe South Asian), male, cisgendered. The perception is based partly on posting jobs here and who responded as well as a kind of ambient sense from comment-reading. It’s not a sense that HN is unwelcoming, more just reflective of the general state of things, but I’m curious what other people who don’t fit that stereotype experience here and if there are other spaces that are more diverse that could be good to check out?
Cisco ASDM: Manage at Your Own Risk
In what fields?
It depends on the school to a significant degree. At some schools, CS is associated with the math department. At others it's in the engineering school and may even be some variant of a CS/EE degree.
From the perspective of academic psychologists, this is true: "Substance use disorders (SUDs), as described in DSM-IV, are part of a class of disorders (substance-related disorders) that are “related to the taking of a drug of abuse (including alcohol)” [1 p. 175]. Although the transition from DSM-IV to DSM-5 involves changes at multiple levels for SUDs, this basic definition remains unchanged [1,2]."

However, most likely readers of the article are likely unaware of the distinction (or may resist it), so the usage of the colloquial and informal definition of "drug" that excludes alcohol would help more people with alcohol use disorder find the article and learn about its main points.

> ... could learn a thing or two about the dynamics of lifestyle-brands.

I think that is out of touch with the way that American culture has been trending. (Yes, the world is much bigger than America, but this article is focused on US literary mags.) There is a continual push for efficiency & profit - driven by capitalism & technology - so I think it's clear the audience for this 'literary lifestyle' is continually shrinking.

Getting a bachelor's degree in the Arts in America basically is just a setup for entering graduate school (ie, spending more money + time, and even then, only making a fraction after graduation compared to other degrees... like CompSci). Pew Research Center found almost 25% of Americans in their survey admitted to not reading a book in the last year - and this is during the pandemic[0].

Our middle class is shrinking and being squeezed in ways that haven't been seen for over a century. The gig economy means people are often working multiple jobs, for low pay and no benefits. And most of the upper class is also continually trying to hustle and stay atop all the new technologies/products.

I love reading and completely agree that it is valuable -- I just don't believe that our society agrees. Most of the 'Bar Arcades' in my area have closed down during the pandemic (along with many restaurants, also a 'lifestyle brand'), so I can't help but feel your potential business model has a long road ahead of itself. I wish you the best in it though!

The last time I used booking.com the photo used for the listing was completely different than the room I was given at the hotel including the number of beds and some other major things. When I showed this to the hotel manager he just shrugged and didn't care. I opened a support ticket with booking.com and they never followed up.

It's a bummer how quickly we are descending into fully automated, no F's given customer support culture as a result of the very same technology that many of us have built careers around developing.
A first job is always a "Junior" one, whether the title says it or not.

In my current company, you're in a junior position until five years of experience or two years of tenure. So, of course you're still a "junior" after a single year.

Big titles and fast promotions are potential red flags, avoid inflating your current position. It's like saying "I'm super strong with a perfect GPA" in a interview, well lol, you're going to get wrecked.
Agreed.

Many bigger companies are pushing to get us all to come back to work.

I'm pretty sure the real reason behind this is if remote work became the norm trillions in commercial real estate would become worthless

Many auxiliary businesses, like caterers, cafe owners, would go out of business.

I have noticed small companies have been much more willing to go all in on remote work. I strongly suspect the board members at many bigger companies have stake in commercial real estate. Or maybe I'm hopelessly navie and without billion dollar office buildings in central Manhattan the economy would collapse....

Thank you for sharing and I think your opinion is certainly valid and it would create more trust if everyone shares your principles. I was just trying to convey this idea that they are there because they serve a need. If we want to imagine a world without these practices, we should probably start by tackling the system itself, not by attacking the surface level actors only.
I don't think this is what the EU is requiring even though it is possible to scrape EU data. Facebook is pretty good at preventing scraping though.
I don't think that would go over well. When Google asked people to share a national ID or credit card in the EU (age verification is legally required to be compliant with the new "think of the children" regulations in the EU's Audiovisual Media Services Directive), people online freaked out.

Game Boy Wordle: How to compress 12972 five-letter words to 17871 bytes
I'm a firm believer that you should include them, if they are part of the job. If not, especially if they're completely unrelated, then they're just a reason somebody is going to have a harder time passing your interview. If you want that, that's your prerogative, but generally IMHO you should focus on finding owners, people who are going to give it their best to provide quality and love their code/contribution. Whether they know how to rock from day one, or they're going to learn it on the job.

It's not an easy thing to look for, I know, but it's what we should be striving towards IMHO and what I'm focusing on. So far it has had great results, with a few misses, but a better success rate than just handing out technical stuff.

How about this framing: It's part of a game that I've seen being played throughout my career in tech (software development).

I am in no way advocating for that type of behavior. I'm merely pointing out that it exists, it seems to be a game to some and that those who choose a more genuine path can benefit from the follies of those others, however unfortunate that might be.

It seems we are in agreement, though perhaps you interpreted my words differently than I had hoped people would.
