1. I did not overestimate, it still took you days. spreadsheet would be done monday night. sidenote: C# backend CRUD might be a very different market than what OP is looking at

2. this is true, but with kids there is also extra risk in changing jobs. not enough to say dont do it - but it's a consideration.

3. he is a web developer turned tech director, not a software developer. without formal education in the field. We do not know his situation, and this type of thinking is what gets people into the most trouble. that 12 years of experience might not be fully industry relevant.

Overall I do agree with you, it sounds like it is definitely worth the effort for him to find a new job. But it is a common trap to shulk responsibility for your current situation by thinking things will be different after some specific life event. that said, he posted info baout his situation after my initial post and yeah he should find a better job if he can but i dont even think hes in trouble.

TBH I think OP was either just venting or baiting for someone here to hook him up with a web-dev side gig.

Also, He is isnt even living paycheck to paycheck.. hes paying off a mortgage so he's investing in real estate around NYC, which has increased a lot over the past year alone so odds are this guy is far from debt.

> I am glad that Ukrainian refugees are being treated with conpassion, but I don't think we are treating others fairly.

Maybe not, but just because we’re not equally nice to everyone doesn’t mean it’s not still nice. And there is no need to immediately jump on this news to push your agenda. Especially when the answer is obvious (surprisingly enough as much as Europe doesn’t want refugees, they’ve taken in quite a few).

That said, given the past few days, I imagine you’ll see Europe doing more for Ukrainian refugees than you’d ever seen them do for Syrian refugees.

In more than one way, attacking Ukraine feels like an attack on Europe in a way that an attack on Syria does not.
I disagree that anything below the "top dollar" is peanuts.

I would consider even a fraction of what big tech pays to be fair enough. Thanks to scarcity we can ask for more.

Lots of EU and NATO countries are post-soviet. The difference is only 1 or 2 generations away.

Put this deepfake through a couple levels of email forwards, GIFs with burned in captions and lots of dodgy media spots of "Did Zelensky actually say this or didn't he? Some people are saying he did." and it's going to be taken for ground truth.

There's a subreddit called "AteTheOnion" which chronicles people mistaking wildly obviously fake and humorous articles from The Onion and other sites.

Not having an NDA would be inappropriate for any beta tester of a proprietary product, regardless of the location in which their testing primarily occurs.

For context, NDA's are extremely common - in my experience, you can scarcely have a coffee chat with a tech employee at their office without signing one.
Ask HN: Is it normal to be ghosted for senior position job interviews?
I'm casually browsing for some engineer manager / principal engineering roles. I scheduled an interview with 3 different companies, and in all 3 cases nobody showed up for the interview.

In the first 2 cases, I emailed the recruiter about 5~10 minutes after the interview was supposed to start, to check if I had the right meeting link (I know I did, but wanted to frame it politely). After the meeting was supposed to end, I sent another email saying that unfortunately I was not able to reach them, but that I'm still interested and would like to reschedule. Again... crickets.

In the 3rd scenario I confirmed the proposed interview date/time, but never received the meeting invite. Only after the interview was supposed to take place, the recruiter proposed a new time.

The companies mentioned are Grafana (no reply at all, not even from the head of people who I reached out to after being ignored by the recruiter 3 times), Miro (the recruiter replied several days later with a very vague non-apologetic message, but never reacted to my proposal of rescheduling) and Microsoft.

Is this a normal experience or is something weird going on?

(and yes, I know shaming companies with their name is not nice, but ghosting candidates also isn't nice imho)

>I would consider even a fraction of what big tech pays to be fair enough. Thanks to scarcity we can ask for more.

Maybe in the US and Berlin/London/Amsterdam that holds true where VC money is constantly raining from the sky keeping the demand higher than the labor supply, but in most of west EU, outside of big tech, the pay of most IT & dev jobs are in line with all other office work grunts.

I wouldn't consider the 50K for mid levels and 80K for seniors, a dev salary to write home about in a high CoL EU country.

Making the labor pool bigger will not improve the wages.
That seems really weird. You say you "scheduled an interview" but I assume that means that they scheduled an interview with you after you applied/reached out?

Is this in the USA or Europe or somewhere else?

Anyway, seems bizarre to me to do that to any candidate, let alone a senior one (who are in demand these days).
why would you even try to validate the TLD anyways? Just let it through. If the TLD doesn't exist, it will error out when querying the domain name anyways. Using public TLD lists runs the risk of the list going outdated.
You shouldn't check for a specific list of TLD's, you're going to get it wrong.
Getting a PS5 consists of signing up for Telegram alerts and waiting for stock alerts. Within 1-3 weeks you’ll snag one.

In my opinion it makes sense to be patient for 3 weeks and get a PS5, which will surely be relevant for 5-7 more years.

Keep in mind, PS4s are also difficult to find right now. They are still selling at the full $300 retail price if you can even find one, and used on eBay they are $250. Why pay $250 for a console that will stop getting new games this year or next year?

Now granted, OP seems to be in a different country so maybe these circumstances are different for them but in the US certainly it does not make sense to buy a PS4, for the same price you can buy an Xbox Series S.
With Syria, they share much less commonalities in terms of culture than Ukrainians.

Considering Trump voters have a history of being called Nazi for the affiliation, I don't see it as a stretch to call Zelensky one for the Ukrainian "Azov Battalion." Think of it as the sword cutting both ways.

> the Ukraine war is all CGI

This one I see constantly... folks expect 4K quality LiveLeak material to be streaming out of Ukraine. Truth be told I'm surprised at the relative dearth of material, but there's still enough floating around social media to make this one rather laughable.

> anything related to Hillary or Bill Clinton

Oddly, I haven't heard anything on this one. Though I have seen a meme going around referring to Biden, Romney, Pelosi, and Kerry having "children involved in the UA energy business." This, at least partially false, but with a rooting in the truth... Hunter Biden as well as advisors / associates of the others have all done business in the UA energy sector. I'm still not quite sure how and why Biden's handling of the former UA prosecutor that had an investigation going against Burisma which employed Hunter isn't a larger political scandal.

All in all there does seem an age gap (IME) with your typical Boomer / Fox types spreading the garbage content, folks towards the Millenial side don't.

Topological quantum computers don’t really represent 0 and 1 even like a standard gate based quantum computer or classical computer does. You have a collection of anyons that you move around each other in a way that encodes the computation (see: T-junction). Then you test to see which anyons, when combined, will go away/annihilate. This encodes the result.

It is very difficult to put such complex topic into a post, so let me summarise with bullet points. Let me know what parts to expand or provide sources for:

1. Russia tried to get ahold of Ukraine for multiple centuries already, so it is engraved in the culture of both Ukrainians and Russians.

2. The last time Ukraine lost a war to Russia was in 1920, which was followed by a century of terror and genocide [0] from Russian side which ended in 1991 by the collapse of USSR.

3. Because Ukraine was always considered a rebellious state, a manufactured USSR propaganda was that Russians are "big russians" and Ukrainians are "small Russians". The point was that big Russians where superior in every way, while small russians where uneducated villagers.

4. Ukrainian culture is being denied by Russians for more than a century, by means that Ukrainian language was forbidden, and all major cultural figures were either killed or displaced to Gulags.

5. The collapse of the USSR and the weakening of Russia allowed some of these to be reversed and Ukrainian language and culture started to be getting revived.

6. 30 years later from the collapse of USSR, Russians are still in a full denial of Ukrainian culture and think that Ukrainians are just Russians with anti-russia nazism.

So culturally, Russians are sure that killing all the nazis will return Ukraine to their "brotherhood" and hence wholeheartedly support this "special operation to denazify Ukraine" as it is called by Russian media.

Source: have some of the family in Russia as well as some russian family members in Ukraine, who are completely sure they are helping people of Ukraine right now and support this. All of the deaths and suffering are justified for them, because the "anti-russian nazis" have to be killed anyway.

I used to do this, and if signing up online it's fine. But IRL I'm not on my phone generating the email address when asked at the checkout. That inconsistency meant duplicate accounts, and TBH I figured I was making things excessively complex and <shop>@david.kitchen was perfectly sufficient for my goals.

My goals are just to identify who was compromised when an email address leaks, and secondarily to prevent entirely unconnected merchants or organisations from trivially joining the dots on a connected identity. In both cases good enough is good enough and I'm not trying to achieve perfect security or privacy with email as that's virtually impossible.
IIRC the RFCs for email address specify mandatory local-part@domain. Not just @.

Profitability – Understanding Your User
> ... and just have everybody agree to shift their work day to 7:00 to 4:00.

That "just" is doing a lot of work in this phrase. We live in an interconnected society consisting of lots of quasi independent actors organized in families, office locations, schools, businesses, and many other organizations. Coordinating a change in operating hours for _everyone_ is deceptively difficult.

If a person with a school aged kid wants to individually go to work an hour earlier relative to the sun, you're proposing that he lobbies his employer to set work hours an hour earlier, then lobbies his kid's school principal to start the school day an hour earlier so he still has time to drop his kid off, and then lobbies his favorite coffee shop to open an hour earlier so he can still sip his latte while he walks into the office. The employer has to coordinate with all of the other employees, who have to coordinate with their spouses and families and kid's schools, and favorite coffee shops. The principal has to coordinate with all of the teachers and the parents of all the other kids. The communication complexity of this scheme is exponential. Of course, there will be many opinions about how smart and stupid this change would be, so we'd also need a way to incorporate all of this feedback to make a decision that everyone will follow.

It turns out that we've already developed a method to manage the complexity of gathering feedback and making binding decisions in coordination problems like this. It's called the political system. We elect representatives to the government. Those representatives make proposals, debate those proposals, and, sometimes, pass them into binding laws that everyone has (implicitly) agreed to follow.

So yes, you're right that is "all [we] are doing". It's just that when you live in a country of over 300 million people, the most practical way of having everyone "agree" to do anything is by using the pre-established political system and passing a law. It's much more practical to pass a law that shifts the official clocks back an hour than to mandate starting and stopping times for every single organization in existence.

My gut sense is they picked a range of experiences to interview and you filled the senior end of the spectrum. They most likely let you audition as the most senior candidate and if you aren’t overwhelmingly senior in their minds, they will stall and just kinda go back and forth between the junior and mid level candidate. But they wanted to survey all options.

Sorry about that, that’s just kind of how it works. It’s like looking at Expensive House A, Budget Nice House B, and Potential Cheap House C. Check out all three before deciding.

There is a certain group of people that are adamant that others obey a codified set of laws that they give lip service to. It is sad that the world has become such and openly hateful place.

> Maybe. Or maybe we'd live in a world with no major free video sites, because the bandwidth costs of hosting such a thing would be too great for any competitive business to bear.

The storage costs have to be astronomical as well. The latest stat I can find is that 500 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute (~720k hours per day). Even assuming it's all standard definition, that's ~260MB per hour of video, which comes out to ~130GB of data uploaded per minute or roughly 187.2 TB per day. Full HD is roughly 5 times the size, so nearly a petabyte per day.

People were estimating YouTube uses an exabyte of storage about 6 years ago.

There are very few companies with the economies of scale to support running YouTube the way it currently is.

ASCII Double Murder
Well, I don't really like thinking of myself as some kind of "elite atrteest," or whatever. There's lots of people that are better than I am. I've met them, and worked with them. I spent most of my career, as the dumbest guy in the room, and I'm smarter than the average bear. It just seems that the bar for "average" is pretty damn low, these days, so what used to be considered "average," is now considered "too complicated to understand."

I'm a pretty normal chap, and I work very well, on a team. I spent my entire career, doing just that. If you want to assume that I'm a jerk, I guess that's your prerogative; but I'm not. I'm a really decent person. In another world, we might actually find a lot in common, and have a great relationship, but in InternetWorld™, we have to be enemies. Not sure what that buys you, but it's a free country, I guess.

I don't have a "patron." I'm working for free, for a 501(c)(3), doing an app for a nonprofit. It's pretty much my show. I spent thirty years, working on other people's code, and watching them destroy it, so I like working on my own code, and having it done right.

Oh, and that server that I wrote? It took about ten years, to find a team that was capable of managing it properly. When they did, it became a world standard, and I was happy to step away from it; pretty much completely. It's used by thousands of people; every day. That advanced technique that I used is exactly why it lasted so long, and was able to be localized and extended. The core code is still the ancient code that I wrote in 2008. It works great, and folks haven't found a need to change it. The fact that I can hook it into the modern app that I'm writing now, is testament to its Quality.

Also, it's free code, for altruistic purposes. I donated ten years of my life to it. It is not hyperbole to say that it has saved many lives.

If you feel that's not something to be encouraged, then I don't know what to say.
