That's precisely why it's not really that big a deal to learn the new stuff. If you know the fundamentals, learning the new tech is fine. It can be a little daunting at first but once you familiarise yourself with the new jargon and what value the practical differences bring you can apply your knowlege very productively.
I would think many people on HN have US taxation without US representation. A bit ironic, really.
>I’ve yet to see anything noteworthy. I’m convinced the stupid stuff is more or less confined to California

That's cold comfort to people living in california, like scott adams.
I have no clues beyond what's in the article, but I suspect that a combination of being from Turkey (author spells it that way) and being on the free tier triggered some sort of auto-script that attempts to detect crypto-mining or something.

Attempting to use a VPN to distract from the access from Turkey would probably also trigger some other auto-detector.

Free tiers give free tears; they're always fraught with danger.
I'm actively working on (something) this in my free time!

I'm frustrated by all the freemium apps and want to release something completely free for full recipe/shopping management. To me, that's baseline functionality.

The main difference in your description is that the shopping list can be auto generated by selected recipes planned against a calendar. e.g. I want to cook these 5 recipes this week and my shopping list automatically aggregates to say "3 onions" instead of 3 separate entries for onions. I don't have a "pantry" yet but can very easily see that in the future.
Anyone that's using PQC as more than a curiosity would presumably take a belt-and-suspenders approach by using multiple rounds of different PQC as well as classical cryptographic algorithms, hopefully carefully selected so that they rely on different mathematics and therefore do not share the same theoretical weaknesses.
There is a pattern in technology companies and user reports of them:

* User does thing that appears to be fine.

* User is banned

* User has no way of fixing this, ask for redress, they are just cut out now.

I think this pattern is something that should be held in contempt and is eventually thrown away. If I had to guess, though, it won't be.

Adams would like to pivot his career from cartoonist to political pundit. He's okay with burning bridges to do it because just about everything involving newspaper comics is bygone.

He will be successful because the Incredibly Online people haven't yet learned the golden rule: don't feed the trolls.

With this article, and these comments, consider him fed.
I've noticed that many of the most "prestigious" places to work do a wildly fake process aligned with academia to recruit employees. It creates the illusion that jobs are coveted... They present you with challenges and questions over a long period of time which are actually directly tied to their own internal problem solving if you are a senior level hire as well (free work), and they catalogue personal info and data from you interview to build an internal profile on you that is used in God knows how many ways...

They also subject you to high-school level team picking, which is deeply rooted in internal/company politics and an additional dynamic of company bias and it all enables the company orphan you easily if they find you don't submit to being overworked easily and complying with the deep team culture that each company evangelizes.

People are pressured now more than ever to adopt rules of conduct that encroach upon and threaten their individuality now more than ever by large companies.. Even when you log on to apps like TikTok and Instagram. Your individuality and experience are often thrown out in working environments so that you become a cog in the wheel, and more easily replaceable for these companies, not so that you can one day grow to be a CEO or Exec, and even still, those types of positions are often reserved for others who can fail multiple times and not get fired, while if you fail on the months long hiring process, you'll never survive.

On the inverse, I have been hired by smaller and medium sized contracting companies for much better salaries, and they often hire within days or weeks. I have very little patience for dragged out hiring and onboarding processes now. I work efficiently, do a good job, respect everyone's individuality and culture, and then go home to enjoy my life. I only work at companies there that is the culture. Luckily, if the market is screwed up or too hostile, I just work on my own ventures, it took 20 years of suffering through hostile corporate cultures and attempted indoctrination to get to this point where I have the choice.

None of the large corporations I've worker for called to check on me since our breakups, but most of them would likely rehire me if I re-applied... Not being arrogant, but emphasizing that the internal rules are frequently bent to serve the needs of delivery...

The people that get chewed up worst by the machine often have the lowest technical skills and ability, experience, and self esteem. I don't put any company on a pedestal; I just work efficiently and effectively with integrity, constantly learn (well aligned) stuff that works to get the job done, rely heavily on my prior experience, fight to keep solutions simple, and adapt constantly to efficiently meet goals... Company "culture workshops" and even colleges will never teach you that.
Yeah, it sucks. They turned into stocks the second exchanges showed up. The worst part is there are good projects out there like Monero but nobody really cares because price doesn't go up.

I believe, if you can maintain a genuine interest in certain, contemporary topics than you will probably have an easier time to stay relevant.

Today, depending on your interest, I'd probably would go deep into the "devops" field, since that's quite technical, fast moving but with lots of stable parts (like operating systems) and there's demand and will be for some more time.

There's also always a way to stay relevant by just being very good at a very particular thing - even if there are only a few jobs. I remember mainframe people advertising that if you know your way around z/OS you'll never have to search for a job again.
1. So do pros and cons
2. What you wrote is MBA speak and supports my point
This. If you want really good devs, they tend to play around with all sorts of things that don't necessarily have economical value. This includes esoteric programming languages.
time is more valuable than money, we lose out big by getting addicted to nonstop videos.
I said he is trying to punch up, but he's missing the mark and coming off as punching down. :)
Perhaps it was just an honest mistake? Comic strips aren't colored the same in different newspapers (imagine this discovery as a kid on vacation), I remember reading an article about how Franklin (the black character in Peanuts) appeared white in a number of distribution channels for a while.

Let's see how that experiment works out.
It's interesting to see that they also adopted the current industry standard of automatically banning people at random, not telling them why and not giving them any way to rectify it. But then, well, I mean, it's Oracle. What did you expect?

Normally something like this would put them on my "will never use any of their products nor work with them" shitlist, but it's Oracle, so they were already there since, like, ever.

It appears to be in fulfillment of an obligation under UK law—from the statement itself: This statement has been published in accordance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015
> But Intel made it work, produced this stuff, put it on the market… and not enough people were interested, and now it is giving up, too.

That sounds like a dubious claim to me, at least if we take the hyping up at face value.

If Optane was really that awesome, why not build a database on top that's either much faster or much cheaper than what we have now? Then sell that to a cloud vendor. The end user is only interested in the wire protocol (and up the stack from there) that they speak to the database, and not the underlying OS.

I cannot imagine Intel going to one of the three major cloud vendors, offering a 10x improvement (in either cost or performance) for one of their larger offerings, and the cloud vendor simply saying "nope, not interested".

Maybe the practical improvements simply weren't there?
I think most likely it was a representation of an empty circular enclosure for animals.

Enclosure empty = O
It's always the same: you get what you pay for. No company offers something for free: If it doesn't cost anything, you're the product:

They will use usage-data to optimize their commercial offerings, they will try out features in non-critical (aka: free) accounts first - so not to offend the paying customers.

In some cases (e.g. free web-mailers like gmx, Instagram, FB etc) the free versions are mainly vehicles for advertising.

Why should Oracle be any different? I cannot see their motivation to offer anything for free... they are *only* money-driven.
Plain old racism/xenophobia and sexism was very common and still is to some extent, though it is not as socially acceptable as it used to be. So I find it odd to only consider anti-white bias you encountered while ignoring any discrimination in the other direction. I strongly doubt it does not exist.

There is certainly stuff under the diversity banner, especially when done primarily with PR/image concerns that reasonable people can object to. But there are also real issues with discrimination, and efforts to address that are a good idea in my opinion.
You might find a video of unison language interesting. (I'm not sold on there approach per se, but they do grapple with this problem and its logistics.)
Why would being from Turkey have an effect in this situation?
He's confusing it with Bloom County, prolly.
What a weird coincidence that I just read this comic https://www.achewood.com/index.php?date=05082002 a few minutes ago and started thinking about a practical version of it, then stopped over at HN and found this thread.
With a real-time database, each worker could subscribe to be notified when the set of tasks changed, but it would require a separate locking mechanism in the application to ensure that each task is only attempted by one worker. (Imagine a scenario in which a task arrives when there are multiple workers idle.)

With RabbitMQ, you ensure* that each task is only attempted by one worker at a time, and you don't have to do anything special to ensure that at the application level.

*I'm simplifying a bit, there are edge cases where e.g. you lose a worker that has already started a task but not completed it.
It was in Europe, and no I'm not a web dev. About 6-7 years ago I switched from systems programming in C/C++ to iOS, Android and some backend, but mostly iOS which is my favorite platform now. I did some web development years ago but never really liked or enjoyed it honestly.

Web development is probably more fluid compared to other areas. Browsers evolve like crazy and make frameworks and other tech obsolete pretty fast. So keeping up here might be quite challenging for all ages I imagine.
Quiet Quitting is the reduction of personal work performance to the contractually agreed minimum.

aka just doing your job. That is, in absolutely no way at all, the same as quitting.
Don't forget step 4 and 5:

* User posts on HN (or reddit or someplace else)

* If post gets attention, issue is resolved via manual, backchannel efforts. If post doesn't get attention, issue remains unresolved.
For those unfamiliar with British colloquialisms, a flutter is "a small speculative venture or gamble." e.g. "I took a flutter on crypto and invested $100 in an NFT of a sunset."
30-40 is the sweetspot for devs but they are also distracted by new family members in that time period.
Oracle sales has been all over us for many months to try and move over to their cloud offering but all I ever hear are stories like this. Pass.
I do not know if they are still hiring or not, but to me a hiring freeze means exactly that: a full stop.

P.S. If a police shouts "freeze" I will fully stop :)
please ewaste the old ram honey, the kids are getting too old to share a bedroom
There's definitely a taoist idea of seeing decisions as largely unnecessary. You'll end up with the same outcome.

There's even a lived experience in where spending too much time deciding on one option leads to the same outcome anyway.

I've always believed that deciding early allows you to walk and eventually run if you start to experience success in that path.

Abundance of choice is just noise. Having less in life means you can do more.
> Now, he appears to be punching down at people less powerful than him (individually) who have been fighting to get recognized.

I don't feel like this is true.

The comic where one character identified as "white" isn't punching down at black people. There are no people of color who identify as white. He is punching up at insane corporate rules that make the color of a person's skin important when it comes to hiring: an inherently racist thing.

The comic where a character identifies as a "birthing human" isn't punching down at trans people. It's punching up at corporation rules which need a specific reason on why an employee can go home or not. It shouldn't matter why you're feeling unwell, go home if you're sick.

Corporate policies on its employees should be as broad as possible and not target individual minorities and their intricacies.
> being forced to profess beliefs you don't hold

I don't understand what beliefs you're referring to? I thought they were asking people to promote diversity, what "belief" is there in that?
This reply is so surreal. Pointing out blatant sexism is "being offended by everything all at once", but old men being discriminated against isn't? Not to mention the amount of condescension that just proves the original point.
>China says Taiwan is a part of them, Taiwan says no, fair enough.

This is the part you're oversimplifying, the CCP does not say "fair enough." Taiwan has the highest democracy index in Asia, and the 8th highest in the world trailing only Scandinavia, NZ, and Ireland right now. It's not arbitrary or silly to the people of Taiwan if the CCP wants to take that away from them.
> Do you like what you see?

I see a bunch of material misrepresentations, relying on people to react emotionally to phrases like "anti-white" instead of actually peeking under the covers.

I do not see a reflection of society, except one that's been badly warped by individual and petty grievances.
oof, peak programmer arrogance.
Event Bus is an interesting design pattern to build a lightweight event system. We will discover its use cases in React and build a type-safe Event Bus from scratch with TypeScript.
Any word describing disabled people will be used as a slur. We should stop describing disabled people. But wait that's erasure :/

speech nazis aren't concerned with speech, they only care about creating shame for leverage.
Funny how you criticize someone who pokes fun of people who fall into their own version of reality (and a giant corporate structure who encourages everyone to fall in line) as the one who is sinking into his own version of reality.
Jack of all trades means that you have a broad spectrum of knowledge but not deep knowledge in a specific field. If you are a very talented individual you can have both broad and deep knowledge.
The trick here is that the definitions of "deep" and "broad" vary a lot depending on who you ask to. As stated in other comments, there are people that consider "broad" knowing how to write JS for web pages and a (simple) NodeJS backend and other that think you have a broad knowledge if you know how an eBPF script works in the kernel and also how the V8 engine optimizes your Javascript in the browser, and all the layers in between.

> They make a single truck.

There is a single vehicle that you see on the road, today. They have the R1T, R1S, and a platform for Amazon delivery vehicles. While the R1T and R1S are based on the same “skateboard” plenty of the vehicle doesn’t overlap. Their hiring page also shows a large autonomy group.

Your point likely still stands, 14k is a large team for this. But it’s not as egregious as if they only had a single vehicle not equipped for L3+ autonomy.
That's weird, most people I know with Google offers say they're good for a year or more.
Having a poor scope is a problem because people will just choose not to use you.
The international obfuscated c contest has taught me that programmers can make small mistakes on purpose and its almost impossible to identify legit mistakes from malfeasance.

If we have a situation where:

* Its hard to tell, after the fact, 'a mistake' was a bad actor.

* The programmers are, by and large, anonymous.

* The benefit of making 'a mistake' could be hundreds of millions of dollars that are not easily traced.

This situation seems rife for abuse and bad actors. Not saying it happened in this case. . . but how would you know?
DBT does pretty well?
Sorry, what was that? I have a job and a wife and kids so I'm not always up on the latest internet memes.
We lost a product manager candidate to Meta yesterday so not so sure about any hiring freeze.
Scott Adams has lost his marbles. He’s got bigger problems. But sure, I think leaving California is a good idea for many people.
Sure — but I wasn’t talking about electrons, which as far as we can tell are fundamental particles.

I was talking about protons and neutrons.

What distinguishes a proton, which gains its mass as a hole in the quark-gluon fuzz permeating the universe, from an electron hole in metal?

I think that gets you something:

You can understand protons and neutrons as holes in the “crystallized” space that came out of the universe cooling to its current state — that the fuzz of quarks and gluons is something like a “metal” in which protons and neutrons are “holes”.
Who the hell said that was the real problem in academia, as if it was the only problem there? Are we not allowed to talk about a problem if some greater problem also exists?

as someone who is becoming an elder, I can't help but feel a touch of Schadenfreude when I see youngsters run face-first into stuff that I've predicted will happen, secure in their knowledge that I'm a dinosaur and can't possibly know what I'm talking about any more.

It's like a spectator sport.
So if a Ford car hits my child I should be able to sue BoA for damages, makes sense.
You can cherry-pick examples of bad communication and bad policies all you want. But the fact remains that women and minorities are at a significant disadvantage when it comes to just about all aspects of life. The 'woke' problem pales in comparison to the actual problem. Complaining about things going too far isn't a good look when there are real, systemic issues remaining.
Strong labor numbers are often correlated with increasing wages (if labor is in short support, wages usually go up) but there's no direct connection; labor numbers could be increasing because people are being "forced" (or deciding to go back) into the labor force because the covid subsidies have dried up; those who took time during covid to homeschool, etc.

All of this all of it is just an attempt to measure if people "feel good" about how things are going, or feel bad; and the general consensus seems to be "things aren't great but they're not horrible ... yet".

The other thing to remember is that lots of economic reporting is 'standard spherical cow' type - inflation may be skyrocketing in the exact things that do not affect you - if you work from home in a house you own on a fixed mortgage, then perhaps the gas prices aren't directly affecting you.

If you're a independent trucker renting, then they hit much harder.
Your logic doesn't add up.

Sure, these tests are not an ideal proxy for job performance and indeed they shifted more and more from general intelligence assessment to algorithm coding assessment. Solving the algorithm is only part of the equation though. Writing readable code, explaining your thought process and decisions and communicating well with the interviewer are also vital points of the assessment. Is it a perfect or even good proxy for job performance? I dunno. Do we have a better one within a 40 minute interview? Not really. Past experience is unfortunately also a weak indicator, starting with the question if what's in the CV is an accurate reflection of the truth. There is also an interesting cultural aspect to lying on your CV.

Every approach comes with its own unique set of problems and as long as the position is sought after people will prepare and try to game the system.

The opinion of a recruiter on the matter isn't really the most relevant either. Especially Google should have quite some data on their various approaches and correlation to job performance and seems to use it. E.g. the trick questions were abandoned as they didn't show a correlation to job performance.

Yes. In that case, there is a problem that deserves to be investigated by actual law enforcement.
Russia can’t do anything outside of nuclear war. They’re weak and poor.
Any diversity efforts that go beyond explicitly stating that minorities are treated well (read: sorting out inherent attributes in people you don't want) are definitely a real problem.
If a company had a 9-month-long hiring pipeline for me, I would worry their internal decision-making processes would make achieving anything of interest a Sisyphean task.
