I don't think you have to fully commit to hiring on every job posting you make. A lot of biotech jobs seem to have standing listing for these sorts of tiered roles (junior scientist I II III IIV, scientist I II III IV etc..) presumably because the applicants can be pretty stratified in biotech in experience and in degrees.
It's heart breaking to hear about people getting their lives turned upside down on both sides because a political elite on one side decided to forcefully take everyone on a horror-themed joy ride.

I see many stories of people mobilizing to help Ukrainian refugees however they can and those are great; I hope those of you getting caught in the chaos on the russian side can also find compassion from someone, in what I imagine is just the start of these coarse collateral-damage-prone punishment-minded moves (well intentioned as they may be).
So you're totally cool with the AZOV Battalion, right? They're the heroes? You're definitely OK with not doing this to Ukraine?
I note that F-Droid are hiring contractors right now:

I generally use `mail@` for whenever I want something generic, and otherwise use some suitable prefix for whatever service I'm using. I've been surprised and pleased that whenever I have to end up talking to a human on the phone for something, telling them my email is <their service name>@<my domain> doesn't seem to faze them.
but the narrative is the same. if minority disagrees it’s ok to fuck them over.

If you genuinely believe that russian people chose to live under the dictatorship, then following the same logic you could say that african-americans chose to live in slavery. Does it also sound reasonable to you?

The statement “oh well, you are a minority, so you deserve to be discriminated” is quite an ignorant thing to say. Don’t you think so?

> it is another thing entirely to celebrate businesses acting in ways to inflict the most suffering possible on the people least able to handle such abuse

No one is celebrating, I assure you. The crumbling economy, all of the restrictions, their children captured abroad, all these facts amount to a serious conversation amongst Russian people that can lead to a critical mass of people going into the streets and protesting. Look at December 1989 Romania, for a textbook example of people pushed too far with nothing to lose, taking matters in their own hands. It can happen again, but not so long as the Russian people don't feel the sting. It needs to be delivered fast and hard for people to trust that the great majority is with them.
hot take: the safari monopoly on ios is better than a chromium monopoly on all platforms
Thank you for this thoughtful and illuminating perspective. I'll make sure that my octogenarian life-long liberal grandparents hear about this. It's long past time for people above 75 to rise up and topple one of the most entrenched and well-defended authoritarian regimes on the planet. Maybe they can solve climate change while they're at it.

On a more serious note - this is about the opposition being denied foreign infrastructure. This translates into less effective protests, drives people into censored and controlled social media ponds, and makes disseminating thing like videos of war crimes this much harder.

I would understand if Namecheap were to block accounts related to Russian businesses. But this is virtue signalling at its worst - this decision makes situation worse, while making the people who made feel better.
As someone else noted, it will occasionally go into fuel and oil refresh mode and run the engine if it doesn't happen naturally.
It is deplatforming. And I’ll be transferring my domains elsewhere. US Citizen.
I get you are upset over what is happening, but this is just not the way to do it, nor promotes free speech.

I have few domains with you and will be moving. If you don't understand what services your company provides and who are your clients ie. that these can be varied people and businesses and how these sweeping measures can affect them, then I don't want tomorrow to end up without domain because I had idea for domain that ended with ru, or ly (Libya) or some other smaller country domain that ended up on media shit list.

The Olivetti Programma 101
Ask HN: Are we wasting our problem solving capabilities?
HN is visited by many people who live to solve challenging problems.

Are we collectively navel-gazing? If we were coordinated, could we not solve some major problems in the world instead?

I first had this thought years ago when I would drive past fields of young and adult sports teams practicing and competing. I pondered what they could do if they offered one day a month, with guidance, to improve their town. There are some organizations such as Habitat for Humanity and many others who do this, but it is still much smaller scale than the number of available people who already give their time to team efforts.

We here are largely underutilized, creating our own challenges to solve (outside of the workplace). What if we could identify a few major challenges which would serve humanity while also giving us something interesting to tackle?
I can't see how this road we are on with private companies engaging in what used to (supposedly) be affairs of estate possibly, ever, come back to bite the US on the ass.

Either the retaliation or other people deciding that what's good for the goose is good for the gander. Nope. Never happen. This is a good idea that will have no repurcussions.
I like books but don't give a shit about book stores. But then reading was never a social thing for me so the whole stupid coffee shop hipster sales person nonsense is not up my alley. I'll take Amazon a thousand times over your average 21st century book store.
I'd be happy with basic PWA support, it's taken years.
You're talking to a strawman. I was talking about other countries that commit warcrimes and wars of agression (every single NATO member in Libya, Saudi Arabia, Israel, etc...)

Also, it's false that the 2014 coup wasn't violent. It very much was.
Web devs?

Who exactly? they just created 6 tweets in 1 hour and now they are "web devs"? they shounds like PR people, probably mozilla?

This is fishy af
I'm not really interested in the social network aspect of Goodreads or Goodreads-likes, so I probably personally won't be using this -- but I do hope it succeeds. It's always nice to have more competitors in the space to drive innovation and new features, and we all know Goodreads could use some motivation!

As a side note though, I really hate the magic link sign-up paradigm (no password allowed). I know I'm not the actual audience here (although I am a huge reader), but if I were to use this I'd definitely want something more convenient than having to log in through email every time.
They should, that was literally the gist of my reply. But they shouldn't take away a service that has already been paid for, the disappearance of which has critical ramifications for the customer, in the midst of providing the service that they agreed to provide and already got paid for.

Are you suggesting people just be able to walk away from contracts whenever they'd like to, as long as they give lip service to a principled position as an explanation?
I believe that works just as well without the app.
No, this is not about PR, this is about their employees. This isn't a press release, it was a message to a customer.

What bugs me is that they did not make a distinction between private individuals and corporations, if I were in their position I would have let the private individuals go, they are Russians, not Russia.

Even so: every Russian citizen and every Russian company that is currently relying on businesses in the West such as Amazon, Google, Microsoft and so on should expect those services to be cut off at some point in the near future.
My email is first@last.name. The ".name" domain is oddly underused and often throws people for a loop.
OP's comment is not whataboutism. It's simply pointing out that this is not the principled stand it is masquerading as. If this action was strictly about countries waging unprovoked wars heavily laden with war crimes, the US would be on the chopping block from NC's perspective. That we were not (nor ever will be) is a testament to the fact that the US is too lucrative a market for them to lose and that this is not principled whatsoever.
For years my backup strategy has been to compress and encrypt selected files, then send the hex dumps to transmitters in remote locales. Numbers station geeks dutifully jot down the data, filling pad after pad. When the data apocalypse befalls us, my recovery strategy will involve traveling far, having adventures, and collecting pages.
The PDP-11 had segment base registers and memory protection, so it wasn't necessary to swap out one process to run another one at the same (virtual) address. It didn't have paging, so it couldn't swap out part of a segment. I think it's true that PDP-11 fork() would stop the process to make a copy of the writable segments, but it didn't have to "checkpoint" the process to a disk or tape. Are you talking about the PDP-7? I don't know anything about the PDP-7.

I agree about vfork(), since I haven't seen a system with segment base registers and no paging in a long time, and about clone(). Unfortunately it's true that clone() (which came from Plan9) has made POSIX threads difficult to support.

What's the L4 approach? Construct the state of the process you want to run in some memory and then use a launch-new-thread system call, then possibly relinquish access to that memory?
Can you elaborate your grievances in more detail than "your comment stinks"?
Every Russian citizen and every Russian company that is currently relying on businesses in the West such as Amazon, Google, Microsoft and so on should expect those services to be cut off at some point in the near future.

Regardless, you won't be able to pay for these services so it will be terminated one way or another.

Luckily I signed up with fake data as it seems your profile search api returns full profile data not just data to be displayed, which includes the users full email address and whatever a stream token is. As far as I can tell there's no indication that this data is intended to be leaked.

I'm also not a fan of the raw queries to google, moving my data away from amazon and on to google doesn't seem like a step up.

I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to say here. Namecheap doesn't operate root name servers.

Ask HN: What After Rest and Vest?
I am 25 yo and have a good amount of savings. I am burned out from work and I am split between quitting my job and traveling or resting and vesting. I am not sure if I can rest & vest in my company but assuming I can I wonder whether resting & vesting would solve my burnout. At the current stock price I should probably interview & rest and vest elsewhere.

1. What is life like after you are done resting & vesting?

2. Does resting and vesting fix burnouts? I'd be on call every four weeks & be attending meetings and doing some work on the non on call week.

3. I am the kind of person who likes doing things & growing. Resting & vesting makes me paranoid about future job prospects & burning present time where I could be doing those things. Would I just lie in the interviews about my past few years and then work hard in the next job if I choose to?

I wonder if resting & vesting would fix my burnout. I tend to feel guilty for not working while getting paid well(all things considered).

This is easily my top complaint about iOS. It would be much less of a complaint if Apple would make use of the shiny silicon they added to their ARM chips and properly support VP8/9, Opus, WebM, etc. so that there are patent unencumbered codecs and formats that work across every browser.

Literally only one major player is lagging here.
I was born in Russia but I live in the UK. I don’t give a shit about Russian regime nor support the war. For what reason I got punished for being Russian citizen? How’s that different from nazis blaming Jewish for being Jewish?
I definitely agree with the point but I’d say that people who own domains and websites should connect their webpages into webindie’s things as much as possible (imo) because in the ages of social media a website feels like something alone and “screaming into the void” place.
Also I was thinking about how to share my domain address to the people in real life if they ask my contact and I figure it out to make business cards with QR code that leads to my website.
I wouldn't say I disagee with you which is why I mentioned just allowing a full color, be that hex, rgb, hwb, lab, etc... including color() which lets you define in absolute terms in various color spaces.

If I put BURRITO.NAME on it, very few will.
What.. here in the UK if you're employed then you do not do tax returns, it's automatically deducted from your salary.. and businesses charge VAT at point of sale.. Nothing "dehumanizing and depoliticizing" about it, in fact I wouldn't ever want to change it. Only those with self-employed income complete tax returns, which is way more efficient.
It would be equivalent to government pay grade.
Oh you are right, for some reasons i read this as "May 6".. indeed, 6 days seems rushed

Another great memory, thank you! I do remember setting up distcc just for trying it out (and fun) and knowing how to do it. It was completely not really worth it for what I was doing, because the only other machine I had was the old Pentium 200 MMX (! ;)) I was using as my router. But it sure was fun to do and learn from. So many things "kids these days" probably won't experience as there's a cloud option for that that already does this for you and better.

Then again, I suppose there are so many things we never got to play with (and instead played w/ the aforementioned). Like when I told my dad I was playing around with vmware and xen and such and he'd just be like "Oh yeah right, virtualization, like what we've been running on our IBM mainframe since like forever". But sure, have fun, explore, learn!

If anything, Linux and all this free software has done a great job of taking this out of the hands of huge corporations and having to work for them just be allowed to play and learn. Anyone could do that now.
I did miss it :). Thanks for letting me into the joke.

I am serious: this is all the important bits regarding the news, anything else is superfluous. There is no sugarcoating this.

That your grandparents have no agency is not the fault of Ukrainians. I totally understand their mindset, having lived in Poland when the iron curtain was still in place. It sucks to be in your - and their - place, but it sucks even more to be sitting in Kyiv right now waiting for the bombs to fall.

> On a more serious note - this is about the opposition being denied foreign infrastructure. This translates into less effective protests, drives people into censored and controlled social media ponds, and makes disseminating thing like videos of war crimes this much harder.

Agreed, which is exactly why I argued upthread, long ago for Namecheap to block businesses but to leave private individuals' accounts in tact as long as possible.

Keep in mind though: any service in the West you currently rely on will likely go at some point in the near future, and some may not give you any warning at all.

> But this is virtue signalling at its worst

No, it is not virtue signalling, they are pretty much based in Ukraine.
The problem with lidar + radar is that it can't distinguish between soft drive-able things (smoke, steam, paper bag, grass, water splashing) from hard collide-able things.
I'm guessing they don't cut off the United States because the United States isn't invading and bombing the cities where they operate and have employees.

A lot of people are making assumptions about this being a purely PR "woke" move of some kind, ignoring this: https://www.namecheap.com/careers/ukraine

Seems pretty personal to me. If I or my people were actively being bombed by an invading force, I'd take it personally, too. And then I'd take action about it.
I think the biggest issue is signing up to websites. I support a .org.au domain and get occasional complaints people can't use online services that declare it to not be a valid tld.

While everyone else who uses the project suffers with the bug that was being fixed as they wait for the person who contributed the patch to go through some hazing process involving code formatting that they (hopefully: I realize some people are in it mostly for the GitHub gamification credit of being a "contributor" on their landing page and thereby will do absolutely anything to get exactly and precisely the author credit on the commit) didn't sign up for. No: please for the love of everyone you are responsible for just commit the fix and thank the person later.
Perhaps the issue with your line of thinking is here:

> This action hurts your own team and not the opposing one.

The majority of us in the west don't regard this as team west vs. team Russia. We regard it as democracy vs. Putin. Seeing it as anything else is playing into his rhetoric.
Nothing that I didn't know. Of course as manager you need to manage people, make decisions, and fire people. I doubt you didn't know before getting there.

One thing which I find very inefficent is the meeting hopping among managers. Someone really needs to run a study how much value it brings vs how much of it is just money down the drain. You can't convince me 5 hours of meeting every day is adding value to the company.
Assuming Panic manages to ship their first run, tens of thousands of people who've already ordered are going to have Playdates in their hands sooner or later, and they will set the tone for its reception. It's not like the hardware is going to become obsolete; its appeal was always its simplicity and the "curated indie experience" on offer. Neither the Analogue Pocket nor the Steam Deck is really comparable in terms of capability or value proposition.

Man, if this seems polite and reasonable to you, I'd hate to see the kind of conversations you're accustomed to! The person you're responding to said my post about operating systems wasn't communicating anything useful, and I compared him to a prosecutor who bullied a friend of mine to suicide with ridiculously disproportionate criminal charges.

I'm glad you enjoyed the conversation, though, and found it worthwhile.
The hilarious comments on that Bros article actually really warmed my heart, because as funny as it is, I found reading the article just a little bit triggering.

As I say, I battled (and I'm sure my parents battled even more) significantly with ARFID as a child, but as an adult I really eat all sorts of stuff, having learned a lot about food and a bit about cookery, to conquer fear. I don't really have red lines (apart from those dictated by one dietary sensitivity and pretty conclusive lactose intolerance, boo). So dining out is fun.

I might even be less fussy than average because I am comfortable with putting in some pre-restaurant menu research, which has invariably led to me enjoying my choices and exploring new stuff.

But I have learned over time that a lot of people who think they can taste the quality of a thing could not in a blind test, that a lot of people who believe they can pick out specific rare ingredients only think they can because they read the menu, etc.

A lot of people can taste the bill, not the food.

What I am still finely tuned to resent, and I suppose it could be on show here, particularly in my Jay Rayner stanning, is bad experiences being treated snobbishly or in a judgemental way, because that can dig up some difficult memories.

So I am way past being difficult about food -- I'm not a child and I'm not Paul Hollywood. People eat what they like and enjoy what they like, and that is fabulous.

But if serving staff show dismissive tone or body language if any one of my party (it won't be me) asks a question about food that suggests unworldliness or awkwardness or fear of food, they will get the smallest acceptable tip, and I will quietly choose the cheapest things on the menu.

And if food is expensive and sold as the work of experts, but of poor or average quality, I'm not going to sit back and say, well, fine dining is about the experience and it was a novel experience. I'm going to tell people I didn't enjoy it! (Not the staff. They will get told it was "fine", in a non-committal British way that holds multitudes.)
It's not really based on their place of birth? If you are a Russian outside Russia without using a Russian bank account I don't think this will effect you.

To be more concrete, boilerplate != enforceable.

I'm sure Facebook had some pretty good boilerplate (probably something even more strongly worded and custom) and that didn't stop them from being GDPR slapped.
You are making a call right now that you will come to regret not unlike Matthew Prince (Cloudflare) did. Your reasoning is in the right spot, but the erosion of trust and the blanket nature of your decision right now is going to hurt you more than help anything.

I'd urge you to reconsider - if not I'll reconsider my business as well (not Russian related at all).
