A bit of a cliche but every experience matters. Document what you learned in your journey and plan how you can apply this in sync with your skillset. And can’t emphasise enough, keep giving interviews. And learn from your interviews, refine your resume or portfolio or presentation skills accordingly and you will soon land on your feet. One thing that always helps in interviews is keeping’s perspective that you’re also interviewing the employer. Be inquisitive, and show your genuine interest in a company not just because you want to work with them but also because they interest you. (And interviews are far easier than running Startups ;) ) All the best!

hilarious to get voted down for this and the equivalent comment is still, please stop wasting storage on data that is never going to be needed. If the LHC can find the Higgs Boson before hitting the exa-scale then it's not needed to identify "not a hotdog".

> And to be enforced you need to actually be hands on in the code base.

I think this might be a difference in opinion on whether we're referring to the architecture of a codebase or architecture of a system. They're different things.

> The right answer to systems design in 95%+ of cases is a single application modularized using language tools talking to a single DB.

There are still a ton of systems design considerations to take into account with a monolithic approach. Good architecture doesn't necessarily always imply a microservices architecture, I agree, but it doesn't mean all architecture concerns can be ignored - you just have a different set of things to optimise for.
It doesn't have to be disruptive to users, companies go out of their way to make it disruptive. As others here have said, companies can just stop adding code to track users and stop storing so much information. It's actually way less work.
though many privacy conscious users seem to not trust biometric unlocking of your session in the first place (they mistakenly think their Face is being uploaded to our servers, which is of course not how the technology works on iOS/Android)

For me, my hesitation with biometric unlocking is due to it being legally weaker than a passcode.

You may be better off without a job where you are managed by a 5 year old.

At that point it’s their own fault.
If you can't tell whether a direct report is being reasonably productive -- that's 99% a management problem. You need to set clearer expectations and indicators.

What investment? Nord Stream 2 AG is owned by Russian state-owned gas giant Gazprom, not Rosneft.[0] Here's who paid for NS2 to be built:

> Gazprom paid half the cost of building Nord Stream 2, with the remainder of the $11 billion pipeline project financed by British oil and gas major Shell, Austria's OMV, France's Engie and Germany's Uniper and Wintershall DEA.

There's no British Petroleum investment to "bail out."

Recommendations I've seen that are targeted at people trying to lose fat are given in grams per kg of lean body mass.

I can't imagine a mechanism for fat to increase the need for more protein beyond needing more muscle to carry around the extra weight but that's already reflected in LBM.
I’d agree that these salaries are roughly the same if not less, adjusted for inflation, regardless of the actual number.
Do you also get an endless stream of shuffle dance shorts being shoved down your throat? I think I made the mistake of clicking on one months and months ago and now YT won't stop trying to force feed me those shorts. They are 100% not like anything I watch on a regular basis. So Bad.

Edit: For clarity, I had no idea WTF a shuffle dance was and curiosity got the better of me. Super great way to make me NOT curious about my non-core interests.

I've been thinking for a few years of where I want to ride out the climate apocalypse into my old age. Northern New Mexico or Colorado seem like ideal places to someone who currently lives in South Texas (I'm not a fan of the combo of heat and humidity and I really don't care to see what my limit is for wet bulb temperatures). The water question really seems like the big one though and yeah, I would think any state next to the largest freshwater bodies on Earth should seem appealing.
At least personally, it's gotten a lot better recently. I get more interesting conference talks (PyData, USENIX) and less twitch streamer clip shows.
My wife texts me each time she wants me to make the robot vacuum cleaner to do it's thing since you can't have multiple accounts and the backend bugs out when you switch devices to login from.

It's not enough.

Even if each Marvel movie had yields like Dr. Strange - it's not enough to justify a $200B market cap. Disney has a P/E of 74 right now. That'd be on extremely high end for pure tech plays during the tech boom heydays, and it's completely unsustainable for a media company.

Reminder, Netflix, which is also considered "in trouble" has a P/E of 20.

You cannot sustain on the backs of those two alone. (But also: Given that they're the most profitable franchises of all time, maybe the woke scolding is misplaced. Clearly, people still love the fare. There just isn't enough)
Apply to YC 2023
How do you write a YC apply to Winter 2023 if you create a complex tool for developers?

We are creating backend design tool Cruderra. We applied for winter 2023) But experienced guys criticized us because we wrote complex sentences. We understand that we need to write understandable language, but we are techies), we think about the benefits for developers.

That's how we answered an important question:

1) Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Backend design tool, 5 services in 1

Tips from the professionals:
- It's completely unclear what your product solves, what problem it closes?
- Design tool for Software Architects

2) What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We need to solve the problem of designing Data-Intensive Applications. Today everyone is designing Backend in 5 different systems, the team makes mistakes and it makes development more expensive. Competitors do not have a full cycle of functionality required to launch an application development.
We want to create a developer friendly Backend design system, which should reduce the development time and be constantly ready for Tech DD. Developers will be able to design, test, track APIs, UML sequences, and our DFC diagram in one place. Cruderra is similar to the JetBrains products, but for backend design.

Tips from the professionals:
-In general, it is not clear what you are doing.
-do not use abbreviations in texts that are not 100% understandable even to newcomers in the industry. Some API, that's ok
-it would be possible to say this even about an ideal situation, everyone always makes mistakes and makes development more expensive. I would like to be specific, specifically, what problems your product solves and what pains it takes away
Virtual Events Are Dead, Long Live Virtual Events
No, but they can increase the costs to your company.

“Not your Problem” is a fine response to that, but as an example I had a friend with a serious health condition who was afraid he’d jeopardize / bankrupt any small startup he joined (and he was probably right).

This was pre-Obamacare but I don’t think that aspect has changed in terms of the costs post-Obamacare?

Generally I have this in the bucket of one of many reasons why startups don’t make sense financially for lots of people (either directly per danluu.com or more indirectly because of stuff like this or inferior coverage for things like fertility treatment etc.).
Thanks for posting something positive here... the other comments are really depressing for someone who's in their early 40's :(
I've noticed a pattern of how executives approach this:

1) When looking for more profits/revenue at a technology company, they'll often either try to push an R&D "big bet" to market half-baked, in hopes of it pulling in new revenue OR put the screws to product and engineering to churn out some "quick wins" to give them some momentum.

2) When focusing more on engineering, it's often because they're either distracted by other challenges faced by the organization outside of engineering OR they are up against an existential threat that mandates engineering investment and letting them steer the strategy somewhat.
I am in a CS PhD at a top 10 institution, and I've had a great time in my lab. My advisor has a saying "You can never make me do something I'm not interested in!" Thus, I've personally never worked on anything I didn't enjoy. I learned a lot from my lab mates and my advisor.

Of course, I think this is super dependent on the subfield and advisor. Based on our department surveys, ML / AI / Graphics students rated the lowest in satisfaction, happiness, and highest in hours worked per week. While, Theory, HCI, and Systems are overall pretty happy and have regular working hours.

EDIT: In response to other threads, my pay is also very comfortable. I can take vacations, eat out, and afford a nice studio apartment. Free health insurance as well.
> The state takes money from parents. Money the parents now can't use to buy laptops for their children.

Not just parents, in fact, but everyone pays for those laptops. This is including people without children and federal funding which is paid for by everyone in the USA. (Except billionaires apparently) The state is just the people in this case.

> But now the searches are extended into homes.

Yes, and the parents would have a 4th amendment right here against unreasonable search and seizure, but the children will not because of the way the law views children as under the custody of their guardians and people entrusted by their guardians to care for them. At home, if a child is attending school virtually, the school may have custody of the child at that point. A child has similar legal rights to a prisoner in a jail.

However, the custody of a child that is being taught remotely could be a source of contention. Especially if a parent is present.
thanks for sqlalchemy. it's a shining star in the Python package ecosystem.

> interface asyncio frontend and backend (like asyncpg for the driver) while maintaining all the "in the middle" code as synchronous style. the dark secret is that for this approach you have to use greenlet to propagate the "await" operations. It's been in our release for 18 months now with 1M downloads a day and there have been no problems reported with it, so i continue to wonder why nobody else seems to want to look at this approach.

do you have a blog post or some other kind of writeup to read about it? maybe nobody else had the same idea and it works so well nobody is aware that it can be done...

It should not be seen as normal.

Whether people or personal-management, it's a management problem. So is the need for the heroics you see when people are swamped.

People can't multi-task. Their productivity drops when they work long hours. Etc.

Unfortunately, in software we're taught that it's not just normal but desirable. And our managers are untrained in people management, promoted only because they were good at their last jobs.
I'm swamped. I agree it is not a badge of honor.

I'm running my own company, we are in the process of raising capital and between that and prod dev and sales... well, it is brutal.

I'm not proud of being swamped, but is a reality I have to live with as a founder.

Pnaglossian: Foolishly Optimistic, Self-Aggrandizement
Two people with 15 years experience will have experienced a different 15 years. Both are usually more valuable brought together.

If you make one of those people the "God of architecture" you're not only going to piss off the other one you will probably lose the benefit of their experience. If theyre not responsible for architecture they'll pay commensurately less attention to it. Thats a waste of a salary.

The only scenario I can think of where it to promote one above all others would really be worth it would be if you otherwise cant stop the team from bickering.

As for juniors - if anything I tend to feel like theyre too deferent even when encouraged to speak up and take ownership. The only exception is when they dont realize they are making an architectural decision.
I agree with a few fellow posters that this looks a bit like soothsaying 2.0, but it really doesn't matter whether it works or not when it comes to the abuse potential, it's enough that people in charge believe it. Ad targeting. Hiring. Dating.

I never liked shorts on Youtube, even from the creators that I follow. If I want shorts, I go to Tik Tok.

Except that, the Youtube suggestions for me aren't bad. I do believe they are less good than before, because in the past I was able to find at least one new really good channel per month and now it has been a long time without one. It could also be that I found most channels that interest me, or that the pandemic did affect this quite a bit. I still get mostly good recommendations, a third are channels I already subscribe to (which is redundant on the frontpage as I go to the subscriptions pages for that) and videos I already watched, but everything else is mostly content I may be able to enjoy.
How would you know if someone less famous got disappeared? How would you evaluate the claim from people who say they saw it happen?
Why? What's the concrete benefit?
Yes of course it matters. Is it sufficient? Probably not. But it’s a substantial improvement over not being able to e.g. protest the government.

Anyway, our government isn’t designed to be steered by protest but by voting, which despite all its flaws does shift inertia.
I am a Libertarian so this may seem like an odd comment: I support some government intervention to design and manufacture of at least low tech chips (adequate for laptops, tractors, industrial uses in general).

I am not a hardware expert, but given that the Open RISC projects seem very worthy of support, both in design efforts and multiple inside the US fab facilities.

TSMC’s new 5nm factory just opened 60 miles south of where I live in Arizona is also the kind of progress I want to see. I am a fan of globalization but we need to balance that with good “Plan B’s” for building what we really need inside the US.
To expand on what tveyben mentioned, the first 10 items in your Windows task bar can be opened by pressing Win+1 through Win+0. If you pin items there, they will always have that keyboard shortcut.

Even so, as much as I prefer using alternate file managers, I still like having Win+E for regular old Explorer.
Or more accurately: we should blame the global pandemic and subsequent economic insanity, which isn't "the other guy" and also probably explains it better than anything else.
This is great thanks
I am indeed also overpaying for a VM and a few domains on TransIP (I am also from NL like you I guess) :) And I had massive issues with them in the past. I had less issues with Hetzner anyway. So also a matter of experience.
The fact they are identical making it trivial today only.
In the US in my experience, it seems like all banks rely on SMS or email-based 2-factor. I’m sure that will change but our financial institutions are perpetually behind the times. So at least for American users, the lack of banking apps isn’t much of an issue.
You need an economist to explain it, not a political "scientist".

Communism does not produce globally competitive industries. So the only thing left to do is either to steal and pillage what is left or work in an industry that has local demand like food or energy. Those tend not to be very attractive jobs.
Right, it's totally the fault of "socialism" for the shitshow that is the Venezuelan political and socioeconomic climate and not, you know, the neverending merry-go-round of military dictatorships, corruption, and civil unrest going on for more than a century and counting - i.e. long predating Venezuelan "socialism" (more like social democracy at best).

I suggest you base your understanding of geopolitics on something other than random anecdotes from people who just so happen to reinforce your own confirmation biases.

Adventures in Cognitive Biases
My advice is for engineers, not managers. And as an engineer, I'm assuming you already have more than you can do. If your todo list is so short that you can just pad it out like that, well, lucky you.

It has always, and I mean always, been the case for me than I have more to do than I have time to do it. I ask my manager what takes priority, and I work on that. I miss some deadlines, but I try to hit the important ones, and that's just how real life works.
Yes, though I do think the python async ecosystem is gradually moving from a "3rd class citizen" to a "2nd class citizen". There are sync+async libraries like HTTPX that are gaining support. I don't expect it to really ever be a "1st class citizen" (supported as well as sync in pretty much every library everywhere) because of backward compatibility and ultimately async is just harder to program. Sometimes developer time is more important than the performance wins of async.
Is this also true of better constructed housing say in high rises which would likely be built to last longer due to the heights of the building requiring concrete and steel?

RE the last point, I read somewhere that concealing 'bad' data led to provinces overreporting their total fertility rates (low birth rates have been an issue in China for awhile). It was recently discovered and adjusted accordingly that TFRs were in some regions even lower than suspected.
On the contrary, there's no reason to believe the exorbitant initial cost would change at all. If anything, this would make it worse.

The reason textbooks can cost as much as they do is that demand is very inelastic - students don't have any real alternatives to purchasing textbooks (in most cases.) As a result, there's little downward pressure on textbook prices.

Without any reason to lower prices, publishers would absolutely take this opportunity to maximize profits by raising secondhand prices and taking most or all of the difference. Students will be forced to buy them anyway, so why wouldn't they?

I do comment about Java when I feel it is needlessly bashed - like in this case, comparing its complexity to C++’s, which couldn’t be further from the truth. Sure, brainfuck is also a smaller language than Java, it doesn’t mean the latter is at the other end of the complexity-spectrum.

I have zero problem with anyone choosing their favorite language for some job, but do not make a language look better by spreading bullshit about another (GC-knobs, java language being complex).
It is not odd to be Libertarian and support government intervention that benefits one’s self. Hypocritical, maybe, but a common sentiment.

Sure, you can draw a line from the point five years ago to the point right now, and the line is slightly down, but... that doesn't mean a thing. For one, the graph makes it rather blatantly clear it's not a continuous decline.

For two, even if it were consistently down over five years - what bearing has this on the discussion?

to the point, I used to refer to the device as a mobile phone or cell phone. now, because I so rarely use the "phone" app, it is just now my "device". 99% of the time my phone app gives me notifications is SPAM LIKELY reaching out to me, but won't take the hint that we broke up years ago and I have zero interest in touching base and catching up. however, if anyone of my known contacts actually uses the phone app to reach me, i know it must be significant to not use a text/chat app like 99.9% of our typical interactions take place.

times have changed for phone calls, but the lack of Anti-Spam from these providers only hastened the change away from their core service
