Of course it does. If the company isn't going to meet your salary requirements, why would they waste time interviewing you?

This is very untrue.
Actually, it could be applied in an extraterritorial way.

The GDPR applies to processing of data of individuals located in the EU/EEU and states the rights of these "data subjects". If your business violates the GDPR and wishes to also operate within the European Economic Area, it could face fines and penalties.
That would be much less valuable to the business. You'd probably be looking at 10% the salary of a full time dev who's actually solving business problems.
> I wonder if Putin and Co believed their own BS?

Of course they did, that's how narcissistic psychopaths like Putin operate. And just to be clear it doesn't matter what "and Co" think, it only matters what Putin thinks. At this point he's surrounded himself with enough lickspittles and sycophants that he never hears the truth.

Think about this from Putin's perspective. Putin invaded Georgia and the world did nothing. Putin invaded Crimea and the world did nothing. Putin interfered in the American election in 2016 and not only did the world do nothing, the US party he helped actually shifted their foreign policy to be more pro Russia at the expense of Ukraine [1]. Trump stood next to Putin and in front of the world told us that he believed Putin's account of 2016, that it was Ukraine, not Russia, who interfered in the election. Republicans defended Trump and by extension Putin at all levels for this. The official party line morphed from the idea that Ukraine interfered to the idea that the interference and hacking was all a hoax that we imagined[2], again helping Putin. Why wouldn't Putin think that 50% of American politicians would support his invasion of Ukraine?

Trump's first impeachment was over Trump attempting to extort a bribe from President Zelinksy by withholding diplomatic relations, which at the time the new Zelinsky administration was hoping to use to bolster their legitimacy; and Javelin missiles, which thankfully the Ukrainians now have because they are using them to great effect against Russian armored vehicles.

So yeah, Putin probably felt pretty safe going into Ukraine. He probably felt like 50% of the United States political establishment would back him up and cause a complete gridlock for the US trying to muster a response, because they have been on his side since 2016. And he's not wrong, up until last week they were calling him "savvy" and "smart" for gaslighting the world about a Nazi genocide being conducted by Zelinsky! That was before the war crimes so a lot of them have changed their tune, but the song they were singing before was exactly what Putin wanted to hear. He's definitely high on his own supply.

[2] And if at long last you still believe it was a hoax, just remember that the loudest voices calling it a hoax for 6 years were just last week calling Putin savvy and that he would never invade Ukraine. They were were dumbstruck when Putin invaded (Tabbi, Greenwald, looking at you). Completely floored. So maybe some people need to take a step back and reassess who are credible voices when it comes to Putin and Russia. To see what Putin was doing over the last month and to conclude that he didn't intend to invade reveals a stark ignorance about Putin and Russia, so really why should we listen to them ever again on this topic? Also read the Muller report and Senate Intel report on these issues, because they're indisputable at this point.
They may certainly be counterproductive at times, but if they truly served no purpose it seems unlikely we'd have them? Also there's at least mixed evidence for the existence of similar states in animals[1].

Regarding control, viewing goals as outcomes that I can influence is changing my life.

An objective is "Be the greatest programmer of all time". The outputs are things like, "Find and read the top 3 most important books on programming." Those can then be broken down further until they are actionable. I find control in the difference between an objective and an output.

A nice habit I can recommend from the article is keeping a notebook of people you want to thank. I keep the notebook so I don't get distracted and don't forget if I remember someone suddenly.

If you do engage in that habit, the idea of output/objective is important to keep in mind. Some people don't respond to gratitude well, or at all. That's not the point though, that's focusing on the outcome which you can only influence not control. You can control the action of writing a note of gratitude to someone you care about. Imagine how nice it feels to receive an unexpected thank you note.
No, it's not anywhere near ready for end users on bare metal yet.

Russia also spent the last decade or so drumming up how amazing their new military technology is. Invincible tanks, impenetrable air defences, all-seeing radars.

That’s falling too.

Interestingly, it seems like a common theme from the Cold War too.
It doesn't work like that. The law requires that the ranges to be sane. I don't remember the exact details but I believe it has to include existing employees with the same job and can only be some band above or below that.

Can confirm. Have worked on so many extremely large scale construction projects, on the tech side, and I see all the lighting plans during the design process...

And I am always dumbfounded when I see the actual results. Even back when software available today, Blender, Sketchup and other design software did not exist ; lighting designers were REALLY good at coming up with nice lighting designs...

Now with the advent of these tools, lighting design today is lightyears from where it was a decade ago - but its still HARD to do well.

I'm surprised an oil company hasn't tried to set up a free trade zone within hawaii yet.
> really caught them and, really, a lot of observers by surprise

Including, I suspect, most of those western governments who've always assumed that consensus was just too difficult.

The best insight I've seen here was earlier today in a tweet, but I forget by who. Basically: Europe is sick of Russia's bullshit. They've been stomping around on world order for decades now (poisoning dissidents on foreign soil, seizing territory, pushing disinformation at foreign political markets, etc...).. But actually fighting them back required coordination, and unanimity, which you really can't get in a normal democracy.

Until two things happened: 1. Russia went just one step too far with a full-on unjustified invasion, and 2. it went poorly. Now they can't sew this mess up quickly and get back to "normal".

And Europe smells blood in the water. Once the dominoes started falling they all went, very quickly. This is their chance to get rid of Putin.
Well, I'm surprised to see this on the front page, let alone as #1. Ask me anything.

Googling crowdsourced data like levels.fyi or Glassdoor has way more noise and sampling bias than the data companies can buy from places like TWN by Equifax. Even if you had access to the same data, you don't have access to their business information so you have no good way of understanding what you would be worth or the value you are expected to generate.
I don't think containers should be like jails. Containers should be more like chroots than they are now.

Have you ever tried to run a modern X/whatever app with 3D graphics and audio and DBUS and God knows what else in a container and get it to show up on your desktop? It's a fucking nightmare. I spent over a week trying to get 1Password to run in a container. Somebody decided containers had to be "secure", even though they don't actually exist as a single concept and security was never their primary purpose. If instead containers were used only to isolate filesystem dependencies, we could actually pretend containers were like normal applications and treat them with the same lack of security concern that all the rest of our non-containerized programs are.

Firecracker is the correct abstraction for isolation: a micro-VM. That is the model you want if you want to run an app securely (not to mention reliably, as it can come with its own kernel, rather than needing you to run a compatible host kernel).
Apparently the low band of the pay can not be less than 90% of the top band. If you want that low band you have to make two job postings.
Bitmex is very much a niche exchange, it only offers a handful of perps. FTX will let you trade pretty much any thing you can think of (crypto perps/spot, stocks, political elections, etc.)
Totally agree. My first job out of college, there was a range for the position of $75 - $105k. I got the offer, and the salary offer was for 75. I asked for $90 and we settled on 85, as the 105 range was for 2+ years of experience, and I was a new grad. I thought it was very fair.

The 8gb Pi 4 is crazily good value for money, but one of the striking things about the Pi OS is that you barely need the 8gb ever. The 4gb machine is fine for almost everyone, as is a £5 case, £10 UASP caddy and a £20 120gb SSD.

And _then_ if you don't have stuff lying around, you go onto eBay looking for bits. Mice, keyboards, whatever.

I'm glad another site for book lovers exists, and I wish you well!

But I think it's sad that Librarything has such poor marketing and branding that nobody ever thinks "well, there already is a better, cooler replacement for Goodreads, and it doesn't cost anything". It's been around for 17 years, has 2.6 million users, and very few people know about it.
Really? In this case isn't it just the Github web service that makes a decision on what to display?

Sure if you clone the git repo you get the e-mail address, but then you also won't get any information about who the email belongs to on Github.

I don't see how the design of Git affects this issue. This is simply one if clause away from being solved in Githubs frontend source code. Just check if email.verified: display the user, else, don't do that.

In the else-case all you'd get is a situation where one unknown user has Linus e-mail in their list of e-mail addresses, in Githubs DB, and a bunch of git commit logs with the same e-mail. No one would ever make the connection from the commit log to the list of Emails in the DB. Because the e-mail hasn't been verified. It's as simple as that to me but I could be wrong.

Because they oversubscribe seats for sale. The check-in helps them see when that's a problem. Similarly, if it prompts a bunch of people to change flights, and the flight is very undersold, they might meld two flights together as a single one.
I'd rather delay for an estimate than give something I'm not confident in. I'm most confident in estimations I've had time to think over, instead of trying to ballpark something. If I can ballpark something, it's usually because I happen to have done it before or it's an otherwise easy problem.

I don't know why one is considered a superpower over the other though (superpower is often a code word for "skills I wish everyone had because I have them"). When your loose estimations propagate to others, there's always a chance of it being taken out of context too.

If it's only you and a single person as your client in the conversation, usually things won't be taken out of context. If it's a larger org, it might become more than just an estimate.

This might even be framed as optimistic estimates vs. pessimistic estimates. One is faster but more error-prone, the other slower but more accurate. Different tools for different situations.

Again, a black market is not a free market. A free market exists within a legal framework in which rules are enforced. In contrast, a black market is a clandestine market, where illegal transactions take place. This means, for example, that participants in the black market don't have legal recourse in the event of fraud.
Oh no, there's tons of ProcessBuilder type APIs in Java, Python, and... every major language you can think of.

The problems with fork() become very apparent in any Java apps that try to run external programs, especially in apps that have many threads and massive heaps and are very busy.
I've missed maybe five or so domestic flights on "legacy" US airlines (American/Delta/United). If I recall correctly, on all but one of those I was rebooked. On the remaining one I was not rebooked; the airline tried to accommodate me but they couldn't get me where I was going in time for the thing I was going to.

That being said, I do care if I miss my flight, because it's obviously a pain even if you do get rebooked!
If the job is available to people in the state then the law applies. So if I'm based in Texas but advertise a job publicly to remote workers, then I have to comply with (in my case Colorado) law about wage transparency.

I've also read that just including the line, "not available in Colorado" is not a valid legal recourse to skirting the law.

Law makers are generally pretty good at estimating people's willingness to try to get around laws like this and include all kinds of gotchas.
Thanks! Yes, having Booqsi be independent of Amazon was one of the inspirations for wanting to build it in the first place.

You're not the first to use their Reminders (or Notes) app for book lists. If you're not interested in the social elements of Booqsi and just want to improve upon your current approach, a couple thoughts come to mind:

1. it's built specifically for books (unlike the Reminders app), so you'll be able to easily search for and add books to your "To read" shelf with the option to then "mark is as read" when you finished it, making it easy to track that aspect of your reading journey as well.

2. if you choose to buy it, it'll link you directly to bookshop.org to purchase it from a local bookstore instead of Amazon.

Now, if you wanted to elevate your experience, I feel like the social aspects of Booqsi is where it shines. For example:

1. if a friend drops you a book recommendation, it'll automatically add that book to your Books Recommended to Me shelf. If you like that book, you can move it to your "to read" shelf, or just go buy it. I've found it makes tracking book recs so much easier.

2. anytime someone in your community mentions a book, it'll come through your feed; you can then easily take action from it by navigating to the book's info page, adding to a shelf, going to purchase it, etc.

Those are just a few that come to mind! Regardless of if you want to use the site independently of others or engage more socially with others, there's something for everyone.
Counter-propaganda, which is exactly what the author later explicitly asks for both in the thread and (unverifiably) on the HN thread itself now. Of course they'd want that regardless if it was staged or not but there are more motives in life than a few bucks donation to your old GitHub project... particularly when your country is being invaded and an extremely false story being fed to the population of the invading country.

Or it could not be and just grew into propaganda naturally but that's why it's "Very suspect, impossible to prove" not "certainly staged, proven". Either way probably a good event but that doesn't mean we know whether or not it was staged just that the circumstances don't allow us to answer that question reliably.

Really? There were ~800 homicides in Chicago last year.[0] I haven't lifted a finger, have you?

Maybe we should announce an "oil blockade" on the city to get them to change their behavior. Strip their funding. Block trade with other states/cities.

But (of course) we won't. Why?

Chicago? Those are our friends.

And we reward our friends! "Murder" has nothing to do with it, and neither do "libertarian" principles.

That's one option, yes.

The one I've favored while reading these arguments has been the "suspended process" model. The primitives are CREATE(), which takes an executable as a parameter and returns the PID of a paused process, and START(), which allows the process to actually run.

Unix already has the concept of a paused executable, after all.

This model also requires all the process-mutation syscalls, like setrlimit(), to accept a PID as a parameter, but prlimit() wound up being created anyway, because the ability to mutate an already-running process is useful.
Yes, I just used this opportunity to raise this point. I don't know what Gödel himself thought of it.

But I find it very disheartening when such an interesting find is presented as simply "a paradox" akin to the phrase "this is a lie". That would be the most uninteresting thing ever.

Many articles on the internet thus describe Gödel's theorem, and also that famous book from Douglas Hofstadter.
I noticed that arraypad is really trying to push his repography project. Whilst this is not a bad thing, it seems like he is using the blog posts as an excuse to push more his project.

I don't mind that much, but I think I've seen these posts hitting the front page quite a lot already - it's a good strategy but it could be maybe against the guidelines:

Modern Coca-Cola is still flavored with coca leaves. Coca-Cola still imports the leaves and they are processed by a pharmaceutical company to extract the cocaine.
A 50% difference in salary sounds like a slightly different role / level with different expectations. Why not put up two job postings, one for 90-110k for the junior devs and one for the senior devs at 140k-160k? Why are you dangling 150k in front of junior devs if they aren't worth it to your company in the first place?

If they are the same role and the difference really is 50k based on interviews and negotiations alone I am of course going to shoot for the full 50k.
> You can get a cheaper ticket with an agent than with an airline but this would be a ticket attached to certain conditions (for example, it can only be sold together with a hotel room)

Ticket pricing is unpredictable and really depends on your location and route.

A few times I used Expedia instead of the airline, and it was both cheaper and allowed flexible total unconditional cancellation within a short time after buying.

Quite helpful when you need to arrange multiple bookings, hotels, etc. on short notice with changing availability. Plus there’s that time I literally bought a same day ticket just to enter HKIA and meet arriving friend (a ticket was required due to protests). Returned it as soon as I passed the guards. With that low-cost airline it wouldn’t be possible directly, and even if somehow it was the ordinary refund would’ve taken days. (After I saw their ticket verification procedures I realized a even a well-done fake might have sufficed, but you don’t want to leave stuff like that to chance.)

That said, in some countries I have never seen agents offer better options than airlines.
