You should find a position as a junior developer without much problems. Right now is a big need for developers in many countries.

Try to see what is the best web site for your country / region to find developer work. For me is LinkedIn. Prepare a bit more for the interview. By now you should know the type of questions asked.

You can ask right here on HN for a jobs. Also there are periodical jobs posting on HN, you just have to search and find when.

I wish you good luck.
Would be nice to see R2 storage actually accessible rather than limited to a small number of enterprise customers.
I'm almost 40 and I agree.

Phones being addictive or whatever is being massively overstated. Too many people projecting their own issues with social media and lack of impulse control onto others.

If you can't handle it, figure it out. But I'm sick and tired of people saying Facebook should be shut down or YouTube should be nationalized. I don't hear anyone saying M&Ms or cookies should be regulated.

To all of those who think cellphones r bad: You're an adult, start acting like one.
I'm okay with very short lived IP bans to fight DDoS attacks. But yeah, that's about it.
Literally all of human knowledge.
Statistics exists? Claiming that literally anyone wants every outcome to be equal seems like a strawman. But we should strive for fairly statistically equivalent outcomes, and we aren’t close, even along gender lines.
IOW, the match/case tool can pattern match and destructure at the same time. Som uninterestingly, it is possible to do only one of those things:

Iterator unpacking:

first, *middle, last = t

is similar to a match/case with a sequence pattern:

match t:
case first, *middle, last:
...

The former works for any iterable and the latter requires a sequence. The former raises an error for a non-iterable and the latter just skips the case for a non-sequence. Otherwise, they are similar.

However, arguing that one is a special case of the other misses the entire point of structural pattern matching. We would almost never substitute the latter for the former. They mostly live in different worlds because we use them and think about them much differently:

# Something that would work but they we don't do
for item in somedict.items():
match item:
case [key, value]:
print(key.upper())
print(value)
print()
case _:
raise RuntimeError('unexpected kind of item')

# What we actually do
for key, value in somedict.items():
print(key.upper())
print(value)
print()

Sorry for the small rant, but I think this pedantic point isn't a useful line of thinking. That concepts and implementation have some overlap but should occupy a different concept maps in our brains — very much like the idea that dicts can do set-like things but that we're better off thinking about dicts as doing lookups and sets as doing uniquification, membership-testing, and set-to-set operations.
Still down. Gives me a chance to try https://github.com/sissbruecker/linkding
To be clear, I’m not defending the study, but rather the notion that the situation is zero-sum.

> I don't know what "the wealthy have [...] advantages that make the system far from zero-sum"

I list examples of two positive-sum advantages for those with significant capital:

1. capital control enables collection of value from production. You might say that advantage comes with risk and is therefore it balances out. But the opportunity to invest in the first place is an advantage, and if done wisely, the risk of investment negatively impacting quality of life can be minimized.

2. Positive feedback effects of having capital, such as buying a more reliable car which ultimately saves you money.

“Purchasing power” was the wrong wording. I meant something closer to “leverage”.
Isn't the point of equality that systemic inequalities in these 4 points cannot exclusively be addressed by addressing them in isolation? That's what I thought at any rate - that correcting the system without touching outcomes is a much slower, less effective way to try to address inequalities. Then again, that's gut feeling, so i might be wrong.
> IMHO it's good enough

Im a huge fan of matrix and use it daily. Just to make that clear upfront. If you read HN you should use it.

I don't think it's ready for non-technical people. The federation part still causes issues. Occassionally messages get stuck etc. I would not feel comfortable telling my mom to download element to text me.
Agreed. The author discounts a great deal of flexibility in the existing systems.
Are you saying there's no such thing as secular ethics?
The study at least proves that the author does not know what inflation is.
I lived to my mid-30s before I ever carried a mobile phone. In that time I do not recall ever needing to call 911 on a pay phone. How often has a mobile phone helped you in an emergency? For me, never. I think this is one of those easy-to-imagine-but-in-reality-rarely-happens justifications.

The local university here has these emergency call-for-help stations all over campus. They have a blue light on top so they are easy to find especially at night. A couple of years ago there was a little feature story in the newspaper about how they had never--not once--been used in a real emergency. But the university did not want to take them down because they provided a feeling of security.
I agree, I mean I was born quite a long time earlier but in my career training I was taught to look for tools people can use for restoring energy, comfort, courage, and maintaining contact with long-term values via their interests.

This can also be especially important if you have other sensitivities that can lead to unwanted outcomes, which can be ameliorated more easily with a device nearby.

Also, IMO using "addiction" where "typically need to have this with me for different reasons" would work just fine is pretty inappropriate. The term projects quite a bit of subjective negative & clinical interpretation onto others which is a common ethical mistake, among other things.

From San Diego, what I would do is just walk across the border and then rent the car there. If you are already going to rent it's just so much easier. Though I guess it could depend on the border crossing.
Hard line wrapping is not a panacea in this regard, like when you have a words added/removed from a line and then you get a cascading series of changes for the rest of the paragraph as you rewrap it.
Thanks; added that to the top comment!
It is an interesting perspective. My personal opinion is that this constant stimulation is costing me focus when I need to do work and ultimately hurts my capacity to do things. While the internet and computing is a strong power, it does not yet replaces our cognitive capabilities to solve problem and interact with others. I hope it never will!
There will always be diversity of opinion, which is a beautiful thing. However, I reject the idea of it being a god-like power, unless it’s “unlimited cosmic power, itty-bitty living space” power.

There’s so much research already pointing towards our always-stimulated culture being a provably bad thing.

I think obsession with anything runs a very thin line towards being a bad thing.
> ccTLDs are two-letter (exceptions apply)

ccTLDs are two letters by definition. Other geographic TLDs like .cat, .wales, or .london are not ccTLDs.

.gov, .mil, and .edu are not considered ccTLDs or gTLDs. They're technically in another category entirely: "sponsored TLDs".

> First: use only a registrar listed on ICANN […] Second: are your registrar accredited by the specific registry?

Both of these are guaranteed to be true by the governance structure of gTLD domain registries -- a gTLD registry cannot provide services to registrars which don't have accreditation.

> Domain resellers (without ICANN accreditation) go bust nearly everyday and recourse is hard if you decide to go to a reseller

This is not true. Resellers can "go bust", but the registrar of record (that is, the "real" registrar that's being resold) has the customer's contact information and can continue to offer registration services. In fact, they're obligated to do so.

25 years ago, the cars also didn't have much crash safety compared to today and they did survive without seatbelts and airbags in metal cages without crumple zones, too!*

Hell, 80 years ago planes took off without any electronics and with high explosives on board, were shot at and even returned!*

* except for those who did not

Sure, most people didn't die because of lacking safety nets. But some did and I don't think "it worked for most without" is a sufficient argument to ditch them.

In what meaningful sense are kings and aristocrats "formally transparent"? The history of aristocracy (historical and contemporary) is the history of hiding money and power. The arc of liberal democracy has consistently bent away the kinds of secrets and implicit power structures that aristocracies thrive on.

> Accepting that most fraudsters will just go 'free'.

I think part of the problem is that even if eBay is willing to spend a lot more money on this process, everyday buyers will blame them whenever something goes wrong and just stop using it altogether. Basically, they want to be seen as an alternative to Amazon and don't want buyers to ever think about risk. The sophisticated users are already aware of it and are very skeptical, but the newer users who never read or leave reviews make them money too.
(I misunderstood your comment initially so corrected this sentence) The problem is that the sentence is typo'd so searching for the exact quote (not keywords) doesn't work correctly. For the record the actual quote is:

>With a terminal, you were never more than a question or a shout away from almost anything you wanted to know, or almost any help you could possibly need

When you Google that in quotes you get actual results from Google Books and Goodreads, while Bing/DuckDuckGo only returns an archive from a random blog that quotes it halfway down the page, and the new hot search engine Brave finds nothing. I agree it's a little disappointing that one mistaken word throws Google so far off the trail.
My phone is how my family reaches me in an emergency. How can I help them if they can't reach me? It would be irresponsible to leave home without it.

Internet on the phone is nice to have, but it's phone calls and texts that need to work for me. (I prefer actual phone calls, because that's what I grew up with)
I'm not familiar with UK banking but this sounds like something lost in translation. The checks the ancestors are speaking of are personal checks, basically just an IOU -- I'm guessing this is more like your "for electricity payments and such". The cashier's check mentioned above sounds to be more like your "cheque at the bank", where the instrument carries value itself, rather than being a draft on the writer's account.
Imagine a society where people born in March are discriminated against. People are reluctant to give them jobs, pay them less, don't want them as tenants etc.

Do you believe the people born in the other eleven months would do better in such a society?

If that example isn't obvious enough, imagine removing the state of Colorado from the US. Is that good for Illinois?

Obviously not, because, on average, people contribute as much as they take (by definition). For every job-taker, there is a consumer spending enough to make that job worthwhile. Removing people for arbitrary reasons just shrinks the economy.
Stop. Projecting.

I don't know anyone who expects me to be available 24/7.

Due process utterly failed to save the lives of the unconvicted and unindicted American citizens Anwar al-Awlaki, his 16-year-old son, (both blown up by remote control) or his 8-year-old daughter (shot in the neck), all three murdered under constitutionally indefensible Presidential order. None of the principals or co-conspirators has yet been prosecuted.
that's because agencies used to implement federal policy (e.g. the FDA) are attributed to the federal government budget,

whereas the EU member state equivalents that implement EU policy get attributed to national budgets

the EU doesn't fund enforcement of the GDPR, the national information commissioners do

not having to pay to implement its policies makes the EU look many, many times more efficient than it actually is

I also miss this capability. It was super helpful for working with 2-D or 3-D point vectors:

I think it's interesting how everyone is addicted to their phones nowadays. I'm a computer guy but I am 100% not addicted to my phone, I really don't get the appeal. I do have an Android phone, but I mainly use it as mp3-player/GPS/phone, it clearly beats carrying / charging separate phone, mp3 player, gps device etc.

But aside from that I have always thought that smartphones utterly suck, the awful OS and proprietary nature of the hardware, also the core design is fundamentally flawed, using a touchscreen for both input and display means the interface has no texture or haptic feedback, and also your fingers are covering the display. They are extremely awkward and slow to use. Theyre not even a good shape to fit in a human hand for crying out loud!
So I just use my smartphone as much I would have used those devices it has replaced. I just really dont want to use it any more than necessary as it's so awful.

Smartphones are like those "leatherman" tools, I call them do-everything-badly-devices. Its handy to carry a leatherman rather than always carry seperate pliers/screwdrivers/knife etc. but you really dont want to be using it if a real tool is available.

The energy behind this line of complaint about cellphone/pocket internet connected computers has the same feel as people loudly proclaiming that they "do not watch TV" from the 2000's.

I'm going to chalk it up to neo-ludditeism without the actual labor component that Ned Ludd was fighting against. (protip: he too was antiwork)
Not to make any assumptions one way or another, but both the article's conclusions and your rebuttal are predicated on the initial feelings of guilt stemming from a genuine wrong.

If we posit instead that the guilt stemmed from a bad faith interaction initiated by a 'vapid social vampire', then correctly rejecting the guilt would be consistent with rejecting said vampires.

Ie. the truth of the grandparent's comment has no bearing on the results of this study (only its interpretation) or vice versa.
I agree in principle, but anecdotally, I've seen lots wealthy folks in California get very into mindfulness which makes them feel great about themselves and feel more enlightened, but they do absolutely nothing to help others in any way. They only seem to become more self absorbed. Actually, it's not just wealthy people, I've seen it happen to poor folks who get into that too.
Any source for more information on this?
Can anyone explain why the verified status isn't tied to key account information, such as the password and email address associated with it? Seems that hacking a twitter account for this sort of thing would become immensely less valuable if the account would effectively automatically lose the verified status upon being taken over.

The title of this HN post is NOT CORRECT.

Google ACTUALLY says: "users cannot purchase apps and games" and "Can users still access apps and games that have already been downloaded or purchased? ... Yes."

And about "the man" putting the finger on "the little guy", laws and government exist for generally good reasons. Are you arguing for anarchy? There are legitimate arguments ....

I think, since people still murder people IRL, that the "internet === reality" goal is not even close to being a thing.

Yes that is what the PowerShell module is for. You can script things like ‘New-ScheduledTask’ and give it the appropriate parameters. The only thing the user would need to do is run the script. That could create the scheduled tasks and drop the “real” scripts where the scheduled tasks can find them.

It can be helpful to send along a tuple of {PowerShell, cmd} where cmd just forwards arguments to PowerShell. That way you can run “PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass myscript.ps1 %*” and avoid the pain of changing the system-wide security policy for PowerShell scripts. (Unsigned PowerShell scripts are blocked by default).
Ask HN: Are there any tech companies throwing $$ at candidates these days?
Companies throwing $$ at for recruiting has been part of the normal ebb-and-flow of the tech industry for the past few years. Even as one company slows down hiring, another, usually pre-IPO company, is there to take its place.

However, with interest rates going up and funding going down, things seem to be tightening up.

So HN - Do any of y'all happen to know of any tech companies throwing $$ at candidates these days? I know the big tech companies are still pulling good numbers, for the ones that are still hiring, but I'm curious about the exceptional offers that we used to hear about a few years back. Have those completely dried up?

(Not actually asking for myself so much as to get a pulse on things.)

Hold on and try to resist. Also, try to focus on one language / one position. For example you can chose backend / C#. Or Frontend / React. Or systems programming / C++.

In my opinion, if you already went to a few interviews for the same role, you kind of know what kind of questions you are asked.

Also, I find leet code as a waste of time in preparation for the interviews unless you shoot for a FAANGs.

Good luck!

I think the phone function is one of the lesser used ones.

Identity groups is what we call abstractions in software. Our small working memory can fit only 10 things at a time, so bundling people into "latino", "blacks", "whites" and "asian" boxes makes it all thinkable, at least. And just like in software, these abstractions are leaky: the set of properties that describes the white box, doesn't apply to many people in it.

Another shortcoming of our mind is thinking in the yes/no categories, instead of using probability distributions (for which we don't even have words in our language). This gets especially ugly when both flaws combine: "disadvantaged groups earn 15% less" - here the leaky "groups" are either advantaged or disadvantaged (no middle ground), and the group as a whole earns precisely 15% less (no variance, no bimodal distributions, just one exact number).
An utterly stupid DDOS captcha wall appears on this site, as well as Walmart.
Given the limits I was thinking, not whitelists but time, request, and complexity limits, I don't see a huge difference.

Theoretically it does sound more dangerous, particularly for a free service, but you'll have to be careful either way, no getting around it.
I generally agree, but I would put it a little more neutrally:

I've setup my life so that I expect the people I care about to be able to reach me at any moment. It's something I desire. I don't want them to hold back telling me something important (or even something trivial). I've invested in the ability to be present (even in a limited way) at nearly all times. It's an enormous benefit to me and to the people I care about and I feel very strongly it's a valid way to live.

At the same time, I experience no discomfort with choosing to leave my phone at home. It's fine to have periods of focus on the circumstances that physically surround you. The same systems of contact I generally surround myself with make it easy for me to arrange periods of isolation.

The problems comes up when I am forced (by circumstance or by authority) to isolate myself in a way I don't consent to. That does feel uncomfortable and it should feel uncomfortable - not because humans should "naturally" live in some particular way - but because I am being stopped from living in a way that I want and causes no harm to any other being.

Edit: neutrally in the sense that I think this way of living was introduced to me by the era in which I live, but I don't think our era forces it on us. You can still live other ways, but I don't think we need to fall back on circumstance to justify it.
Yeah but sure would be nice to have SQL
Yup, for the longest time I've maintained we entered a cyberpunk society when credit scores were introduced. An absolutely soulless abomination of a system designed to treat you as a number and not as a human.
> The examples that I have seen that stand out to me are when the “have almost everything” group shares with the two “have less” groups, and that lets the have everything group have more of everything. Their relative score may be less (they have 90% of the total score versus 95%), but they have a higher absolute score (e.g., 180 points versus 95).

Sure, but we're talking about the study linked, which is about perception and consequently relative status.
