Ask HN: I'm feeling stuck, how do I get out of it?
I’m a team lead but the job feels more like senior developer with some management responsibilities. In my previous job I had the same role but with much less hands on work and had the opportunity to lead multiple teams. I prefer that so I started looking for engineering management jobs.
Here are some stats: ~30 applications out of ~100 reviewed job postings. Got 7 interviews out of which I didn’t pass the first or second interview step in 4. In the remaining 3 I didn’t pass the last interview with the hiring director or VP. These 3 interview processes took me a lot of time and energy. On average I had 6 interviews in each of them.

I’m not happy at my current job but I really try to be positive and productive as much as I can. The interviews are taking significant portion of my time and that affects my performance. At my current job I’m in the middle of very complex project which causes me a lot of stress. I joined this company with no previous experience in their tech stack. Somehow that didn’t matter for them and me. I thought this would be similar job to the previous one where I didn’t do much IC work. It isn’t and I think I made a mistake. Actually I took this job because I didn’t get another manager job I was interviewing for at the same time and the salary was much better than the one I had.

I don’t think I can leave my job right now to have more time for the job search. The financial risk will just increase my stress and it will negatively affect my interviews.

For the interviews I think I do everything I should (obviously not) by learning about the companies and their products, answering to questions with real examples from my experience (combined with how you are supposed to answer leadership/management questions), and being generally positive and enthusiastic about the jobs. I don’t get feedback from the companies even when I ask. Which I guess is expected due to possible legal risk or they just don’t bother.

The reason I’m looking for manager instead of team lead roles is that I don’t think I’m good with combining management and IC responsibilities. I feel way more confident when focusing only on one of them. I could go back to IC only role (I still get the thrill of solving problems with code) but I strongly prefer management responsibilities at this point. I understand that in a lot of companies managers are expected to be hands on but there are some that this is not the case and I got rejected at those.

So I really don’t know for how long I can keep doing this. It has been 4 months since I started looking for a new job and the current one is just getting more stressful due to mainly how I respond to the whole situation I’m in.

Does anyone with similar experiences have some ideas about how I can help myself?
I had one and remember hearing the rumor but seeing how run off from snow would pool I never believed it. Still one of the best and most utilitarian cars I ever owned. Beach day, snow day, moving it did it all. Especially with the fold up seats!
There's just one little tiny problem, nowhere does it guarantee that it will be an equitable, or democratically run "digital system of government" as the article calls it. The result has been that the form of governance has been that of the corporation, with shareholders, with power just as concentrated at the top in a few hands.

I was also excited about the "revolutionary potential" of Bitcoin/crypto, until I realised there's not really that much emancipatory about it, except what we make of it. We already have digital forms of cash.

And I'm also not so sure it could survive an onslaught from the USA, should it choose to ban it. Unlike China, the US has global corporate and financial clout
Which will result in lots of people thinking "FB does it! It must be the future! We have to do this as well, or we will be left behind!" sigh.
Yes -- but also all "Public" schools were not "Church" schools.

Basically there is a time when education was almost exclusively monastic; those who were not taught privately were taught by religious institutions.

The public schools were free of that influence to a greater extent.

There is one more tier of school you don't mention which sits somewhere below "public": the "commercial school". There were some of these owned by the livery companies, and were a tier of schools that were created along the lines of the public schools but before the school system was fully established. Most of them were not fee-paying but were funded by donations or livery company charitable funds. They taught largely vocational skills (but professional ones rather than technical ones); parents sent their kids to commercial schools to bring back the knowledge to professionalise the family business or to set them up in a trade.

(I went to a school that was originally founded this way, but was a part-state-owned grammar school by the time I got there a century later)
You only need to be slightly more intelligent than the people trying to track you in order to not get caught. I heard and read enough true crime stories to noticed that successful serial killers and incompetent law enforcement tend to go hand-in-hand.
Ask HN: Where are Tesla's technical papers / blog posts?
Waymo regularly releases technical information about their systems on their blog (e.g. https://ai.googleblog.com/2022/04/lidar-camera-deep-fusion-for-multi.html). Does Tesla do anything similar for technologies it has developed?
I’ve repeatedly killed App Store and even rebooted my phone and still don’t see the update. Guess I’ll try tomorrow!
Source Depot is what it was called. IIRC, Windows was moving to Git (through some virtual file system [0]) and had some major teams actively using it, but that was a while ago too.

Run by -- and for -- the public not by/for the church.

The state did not run schools when these were established. It's much older than that as a term.
Yep, and throw in that humans are just bad at estimating statistics.

Like the birthday paradox: If there are just 23 people in a room, then there's a 50% probability that two people share the same birthday.
It does say that.

Never forget though, that being open source doesn't mean that much, when there is only _one_ party deciding, what goes into the code base.
Ask HN: Where do you store important information for your next of kin?
I manage most of my family's finances, insurance, bills, etc. There's nothing wild, but there are a lot of different accounts in different places. I would like to keep all of this information somewhere that would be easily accessible to my wife if I get hit by a bus, but that is secure enough that I don't have to worry about someone else making off with our life savings. What solutions have you all used for this sort of thing?
I don't know how many times I promoted this myth, and I never even owned one. Ironically, I really want one now because conversion vans are way too expensive, and Elements had great clearance, space, and 4WD. I hope they make a comeback.
For Facebook, the hard work ahead is algorithmic and mostly about what users don’t see…improving the what-users-won’t-see features.

As a trivial example with much more serious implications, if Facebook would stop showing me Wordle posts by my friends, that’s an improvement that won’t get a press release.

To put it another way, the 90% of the iceberg below the surface is where the important changes need to happen.
Anecdotal but I stopped using anti perspirants directly on my skin and using only no-fragrance soaps and shampoos.

Have had much less headaches since.
That is interesting, thanks for the info!

Also, I am not exactly sure what you mean by "STONKs", but if one's investment timeline is on the order of years, all the history I see shows broad market equity index funds to be pretty safe.
> You need to keep two things in mind to have the most success with password managers. First, you need to pay for it. Your password manager is going to be the foundation of your digital security — don’t leave that up to a free plan.

Or you could use Keepass and not leave your security up to anyone but yourself.
I was looking at one of these at the dealership in the early 2000's and the sales guy told me I could just hose it out after a day at the beach. It seemed plausible considering there was no carpeting and the seats could be folded up.
Hard to say, but rest assured that countless "white hat" infosec companies have also signed up and probably purchased stolen databases in furtherance of their own business activities.
>> For example, I knew many people who said they wanted an iPhone mini, and were super excited about the rumors at the time, and said they would get one. Not a single person I know, directly or not, bought an iPhone mini.

People wanted an iPhone mini in the footprint of the 5S/original SE.

They got something virtually the same size as an iPhone 6/7/8/SE2.

The market offering did not match what a lot of people were looking for.
I want to revise my claim of "nothing inherently wrong with a having lists like that".

This is not just a simple list of software with summaries, and after looking at it more it's worse than I thought. And you're right about propagating bad/out of date advice being a problem.

> I always feel people who put together these lists are in a competition to list as many products and cover as many areas as possible, without evaluation.

Unfortunately this seems to be the quickest and easiest way to get the most attention. Proper curation takes lots of effort, and is hard to get noticed by people who don't know any better.
>Certainly no fiat currency could say the same even on a 100 year scale.

No one holds fiat for 100 years, so it's a silly thing to worry about. No one hold currency even 25 years, so again, irrelevant. Fiat is designed to make pricing predictable and smooth out the booms and busts that gold causes. It's designed to be slightly inflationary to avoid deflationary spirals. Fiat has been the most stable economic basis in history. There never was a goal that a loaf of bread is $1 usd for eternity. There is a goal that inflation targets around 2%, and the resulting stability under this system allows loans to have lower interest, for businesses to make longer term financial plans, and for solid expansion of economies.

Another way to think of it over those timespans, is gold is simply a terrible thing to hold also. If you're claiming holding gold for 10,000 years breaks even, it's a terrible thing to hold. You might as well hold water or dirt. If gold is worth the same now as 100 years ago, you should have sold it immediately and invested into productive assets, such as Dow Jones index (which over the past 100 years returned 132 times the initial investment).

Since no one holds currency for long term investments, and for likely centuries decent investments have returned vastly more than gold, there is nearly zero use for gold. The love of gold is simply voodoo.

Currency is more stable for buying and selling and pricing over any range people hold currency. If you want an investment that has return, pick nearly anything except gold.
Hey! There's nothing wrong with that spreadsheet created way back in the 80s that keeps track of dues payments. It was probably even created by Hoffa's executive assistant.
> I have never been scammed by anything on any app stores.

I would dare to say that people visiting this site aren't their target demographic.

Also, you probably got scammed by your mechanic and never even realized it.
Just want to chime in and say there's nothing wrong with finding excitement in doing something unique. That drive inside of you has taken people very far I'd imagine, with the obvious tradeoffs.

Don't give up on tech and keep an open mind. It's true that flying drones are not exciting to you, but flying a drone could be a first step in finding something more interesting to do with drones.

Boredom is functional. It can be a guide towards more interesting things so as long as you don't let it run the show. Tolerate it and follow (intelligently) where it takes you, don't avoid it.

I don't know how helpful this will be to you, but it bothered me to see people dismiss your interest because you value doing something unique. Those same judgements held me back for years.
> No amount of screeching will change the fact that people are far more mentally prepared for grandma to keel over with little warning than they are to lose a random uncle or coworker.

But public health policy doesn't need to be structured around these gut feelings of whose life is more or less valuable or whose death is more or less expected.

To the larger dialogue about protective measures, I understand the claim that "I'm young, my risk of severe disease or death is low. So I need no precautions." But unless you live in isolation, your infection increases my risk of infection. My protective measures reduce that risk but do not implement. And I have elderly parents, in their 90's. They're vaccinated and reasonably cautious. They're also mostly independent and functional. But they aren't particularly ready to die. So despite the relaxation in required protective measures, I wear an N95 in indoor spaces outside my house so that I don't inadvertently infect them. I've also had encounters where I've been yelled at by random strangers for doing so. Apparently for some, the right to choose is not reciprocal - "I would like to choose not to do [x] but I'd also like to compel you do likewise."
I don't know, I just don't think encouraging self-doubt in general is a great idea for the industry as a whole (right now). If anything, people lack confidence given the omnipresence of imposter syndrome.

>Excessive confidence seems to work to impress some people early on, but total belief in your own abilities and eventual world domination is going to make you think you can do anything, and that gets in the way of making good decisions.

Really, how many people truly reach that stage? The far majority of professional tech people I meet are so humble they barely even question management on technical decisions. Maybe that's just my experience with primarily passive people, but it certainly doesn't reflect what I tend to see here, on Twitter and on Reddit.
I find it hard to believe that all of them collaborated on the paper or even aware that their name is on it.
Are any of these not aligned with the far-left? I didn't check them all, but none of them seems to be to the center of the Dems on the issues they cover. Perhaps I didn't dig deep enough?

It's possible that the commenter was asking for Dem/Repub-critical sources that are all aligned with one pole, but I interpreted the question as asking for sources whose coverage would not correlate with either party.

If you're going to criticize Reason for having an agenda, I would say that critique would apply equally to these sources as well. They seem very agenda driven (which doesn't make them bad)!
Nobody light a match. There's a lot of straw men in such a small space.

Let's be clear: no one wants Nazis or advocates for pedophilia or folks fetishizing the consumption of feces on their online platform. Because they hate free speech? No. Because they like censorship? No.

If you let Nazis and Flat Earthers hang out in your servers, most everyone else will leave; they don't want to listen to same old nonsense and bile when they have better things to discuss and share. That suppresses ad revenue, lowers profits, makes you lay employees off, etc.

Let's see examples like Parler and Gab. Launched as online communities free from censorship. Who went there? Folks who believed in free speech as a principle, some random other folks, and a few Nazis. Why would you want to go somewhere with folks constantly going on about Jewish space lasers? So random people leave. What's left? More Nazis per 1,000 users, which makes the platform more intolerable for non-Nazis who accept that The Holocaust actually happened and was unambiguously a BAD thing. So more free speech advocates leave because the Nazi rhetoric and other 4chan-like speech ceases to be worth it for them. Nazi per 1,000 user level continues to rise. Wash, rinse, and repeat.

It's not censorship to be denied a megaphone by Twitter when you'll gladly be given one on Gab. That's not censorship; that's simply folks not wanting to subscribe to your newsletter. There is no universal right guaranteeing that people must pay attention to you.

It should be noted however that many of the same people crying censorship are the same ones trying to get books like "To Kill a Mockingbird" removed from public school libraries. If you want to fight against censorship, I wouldn't start with Twitter.
There is no "jack shit" about the Raspberry Pi Foundation's charitable status.

It's really not in question.

They've even relatively recently split the business in two (Foundation and Trading Company) to further protect the charitable aims of the Foundation and avoid the ugly Ikea situation.

There is also (in the UK and in the USA as I understand it) a distinction between not-for-profit and charitable status.

In the USA AFAIK most self-declared non-profit organisations follow or are advised to model themselves on the Georgia Nonprofit Corporation code. But not all non-profits are charities (all charities are non-profits, but as you say, it does not mean they don't _make_ profits from time to time; they just don't return them to shareholders).

In the UK we have slightly different non-profit codes like the CIC (Community Interest Company). They are very distinct from charities.
You know what's weird. I remember a controversy over Joe Rogan getting ivermectin. I remember many people IRL even insulting Joe Rogan for taking ivermectin... a horse dewormer. Then the subject got censored, I mostly didn't care. My doctor and doctors in Canada are generally doing a great job and are morally trying to do the right thing for me.

But Ivermectin came up recently... someone said to search the nih for 'ivermectin cancer'

China has put out a few articles that are very intriguing. Mexico...

Ivermectin as an inhibitor of cancer stem‑like cells

Was the outrage over ivermectin from people knowing it cures cancer? Did joe rogan interview some powerful person who knew or something?

Did someone seriously discover the cure to cancer, mislabel it as horse dewormer hoping nobody looks into it?

Are we on the precipice of a huge life expectancy boost world wide? These mRNA vaccines can be used for viruses like HIV and so many others eh?
"The people" dont decide what front page news is though and the media played this one up for sure.

They (Barclay brothers/Murdoch/Rothermere) either decided Boris's days were numbered or that he needed knocking down a few pegs.

This is in contrast to two years ago when he was golden and they couldnt sing his praises hard enough. At the time the government was deliberately sending infected elderly patients back to care homes where they caused thousands of dead bodies to pile up - a story that got a disproportionately low level of coverage despite mattering orders of magnitude more.
This bill is created to be vague. If it wasn't vague it would most likely be shot down instantaneously in courts.

Yup especially if you have a larger emergency fund meant to last >12 months.

Any dollars you don't need >12 months should definitely be put in.

Can decide on drawing down emergency fund + increasing risk on the incremental dollars after.
As far as I can tell, GTK 4 is still only accessible on free Unixes, via AT-SPI. There doesn't seem to be any progress in making it accessible on Windows or Mac.
>For type parameters, prefer functions to methods

>The Tree example illustrates another general guideline: when you need something like a comparison function, prefer a function to a method.

>We could have defined the Tree type such that the element type is required to have a Compare or Less method. This would be done by writing a constraint that requires the method, meaning that any type argument used to instantiate the Tree type would need to have that method.

Yes yes a thousand times yes.

If you have an interface with a single method, or something with a single varying piece of behavior, please strongly consider accepting a function instead. Going from method to function is trivial - pass `thing.method`. Going the other way is impossible at runtime, it requires package-level code at compile-time.

This is true for many/most? languages, but it feels like a lot of Go libraries have forgotten it, and they're sometimes a huge unnecessary pain to deal with for that reason.
Yes, indeed, if there is identifiable traffic coming from the OS, you're screwed. This is why I said "not all traffic is indeed personally identifiable". If you are doing things where you have to be anonymous, there are plenty of OSes you can run to not have all those things giving away your identity. If you think just adding a VPN on top of the OS you use for other things, you're screwed.

I think you're missing the point here. Even if you use Tor browser or a completely new OS installation of Tails or whatever, if your payment method can be tied to you, you're once again screwed. Being able to anonymously pay, removes that vector, it's as simple as that.
I look to good critics and they do help, but in the end what a critic wants to watch will differ from the average pleb like me because they do a lot of watching.

I suppose it might be put thus: If you're eating out every day because that is your job you'll want good quality food with a bit of subtlety and care. If you're me and you've had a few days of keyboard work and naff all else, you want the junk-food-level moderately brainless entertaining tripe to distract your mind.
I'm trying to explain how articles often conflate "intuition" with "breaking physics", and you're making your argument by conflating them. We're having different conversations.
