A friend of mine spent ended up spending 9 months in the Google pipeline for a PM role. During the early phases of the cycle (1 month in) he received and accepted an offer at Capital One and joined as a PM. Spent 7 months at Capital One while still interviewing for Google, and then managed to get an offer and team placement.

Surprised it took that long, but he's happy he stuck w the Google process.

react-query indeed doesn't automatically take care of this. We manually invalidate its caches (based on the query key, so you only ever invalidate what has changed) after a mutation happens. It's not as bad as it sounds because most of the time it's just one line of code.
It's often a change in interface. If you build from source, old code simply won't compile with new incompatible interface, and won't get to the testing stage.

These are all stereotypes themselves.

Many people have children in their 20s. Maybe they even met their spouse in school. And younger people can be quite savvy in negotiating salary, even fresh college grads if they've received advice from more experienced folks. I'm astounded by the offers some of them receive.

I personally never had children, and I naturally sleep fewer hours per day now than when I was younger, so I have plenty of time to work.

Every individual is different.
I came from a big bank with lots of graybeards to a small startup were I'm 10 years older than the oldest person (who's the cto). It's been fine here though a little awkward at times with contexts I don't know about. Not a big deal though. Now as I continue to get older, I do worry I'll have to go back to those mega companies when it's time to move on and I start to really look the age.

The best guy I ever employed was someone I kept from retirement for the last 5-10 years of his career. He never once under-delivered in 20 years for me, either when we worked together at one of the “Internet giants” or afterwards at a couple of startups. I once asked him what was the best decision he made in his career. He told me it was choosing digital computers over analogue. I’m still not sure if he was joking or not.
I don't think many companies out there will let you play around with frontend, backend, system administration, databases, pipelines, etc., all by yourself. Companies nowadays usually have frontend teams, infra teams, backend teams. Each product team owns their repositories but anything related to infra, well, it has to go through the infra team. You may have some flexibility when creating services from scratch (infra team either has provided with some sort of template for that or they require you to open Jira issues) but you'll never get complete access to debug.

So, unless your are one of the first hired developers in a newly established startup that develops web products, fullstack means you are able to write api endpoints, db migrations and react/vue/whatever components.
I can see there being a bar where it is reasonable that Visa should have known it was happening. For the screwdriver example, I think everyone would agree it would be unreasonable for Visa to know what was going to happen.

For this case, it is kind of common sense that at some point child porn or at least revenge porn would be uploaded to PH, and they are a very large company that works with Visa, so maybe Visa should have known it was possible? I guess that goes with every company that does business with PH.

There has to be a line somewhere where a company starts being responsible for knowingly doing business with an entity doing illegal things, this lawsuit it maybe just testing that line.

The closing talk at FOSDEM 2019[1] was so enthralling that when maddog (the greybeard speaker) ran out of time (around the 45:30 mark), the audience cheered for it to keep going and the organisers went with it.

At FOSDEM 2020, the final talk[2] was outright called “maddog continues to pontificate”.

Ageism may be real in the industry, but there is definitely a sizeable number of programmers who recognise the value of experience and enjoy the “war stories”.

Not only a PR hit. We now have legislation that will force Apple to open up their iPhone. Your cynical take that Apple is waiting to do it is a mistake; they’re losing control of the iPhone as we speak because they locked it down too much.
> we are absolutely FILLED with greybeards. I's say that the average age is pushing 40 and the average tenure with the company is 10+

Taking your observation in isolation, there are two implications:

1. that those 40+ years old were, in average, hired when they were in their 30s, when they weren't grey beards;

2. a possible factor that causes their long tenure is that they now struggle to find other jobs.
They don't really need to stop hiring, they just need to match the number of people leaving the company (which is always happening).
Why haven’t they exercised the same judgment against Google for YouTube hosting abuse or Google Search indexing abuse?
Somewhat opposite of that, I find companies also expect full-stack devs to encompass skills that are not developer related. I'm routinely expected to do a lot of product development work in order to define what it is I'm supposed to build.

There's one thing that always baffles me about this kind of market work. Let's for the sake of argument assume that HFT and other sophisticated market making activities are crucial for price discovery and other great social benefits. Then why does this amazingly important social good get mostly turned off over 80% of the time[1]? Even as a retail buy-and-hold investor in boring ETFs not being able to trade outside normal office hours is an inconvenience. Surely the world economy has even more uses for trading at all hours than me?

Stop diluting the word "hate" to mean "any slight that goes against my narrative or the narratives of those I ally with." There are real hate groups out there spreading their filth and getting people killed. By diluting the seriousness of hatred, you're inadvertently giving them power. STOP. IT.

A JavaScript Runtime in ~100 lines of code
An 80Kwh battery can take an EV 320 miles.

Average driving distance in the US is 39 miles per day, 20 in the UK. (EVs and hydrids drive slightly more than the average, probably due to age mostly with regular drivers wanting a cheap and efficient and reliable car)

So, all that is needed, and that already exists, as you note, is the ability to plug in your car and start charging now if you for whatever reason, didn't top your battery up to near full the night before, maybe you've just returned from a long road trip, and intend to go on another one tomorrow.

The existing smart chargers in the UK, now default to doing the thing you say that only eco/budget-conscious users will do, which covers all other uses. So, problem solved?

> Shift 1: “We know the lineage” to “We know what in god’s name is happening”

Bro I can't even get my company to the _first_ part, and we're collectively already having issues with the second? What is everyone else's read on this situation in general? Do you all have row and table level lineages for your data? For pipelines that people are actively using? Every company I've ever been in can hardly figure out where finance gets last years "magical excel sheet", let alone be close to a spot where they're actively using data lineage tools.

I also don't like Airflow, but for somewhat different reasons.

I think it couples orchestration and transformation too tightly, I don't understand the desire to integrate everything with your actual runtime Python code - I think it's markedly the wrong level of abstraction/integration and limits your engineering capacity. There's undoubtedly some good engineering, it's come a long way, and it's mighty popular, but every time I look at a repo that uses it, the only read I get is "cross-cutting-chaos".

My current boss (I'm guessing I'm 7 years her senior, not going to ask her age) later told me that she was nervous hiring a subordinate older than her. I'm grateful for her open mind. This is a fantastic job and she is a terrific boss. So yeah, there is probably some unintentional aspect to ageism. Not saying all of it is unintentional though.

So, I did this personal project a couple of years ago where I downloaded a big recipe database and then did a bunch of parsing / cleaning code to reduce each recipe down into a list of ingredients... Then I did an analysis of the ingredients to determine which were the most effective ingredients (frequently used in recipes) as it occurred to me that that this could be used to create a shopping list that enabled the most home cooking. The resulting list was ingredient list was fascinating... Salt & Oil were right at the top. Anyway, you might want to steer peoples shopping in the direction that enables the most meals for them.

At Google, upon entering the process, recruiters explain that an offer within engineering (including PM, T/PgM etc.) is valid for 12 months from the date of approval from the hiring committee. So while it can take a long time for someone to find a team match, that flexibility is also available for the candidate, so they get to keep declining teams that are not interesting until a real match for both sides is available.

At Facebook, it's possible to match before starting, but candidates usually try to do the matching in the 2 weeks (or so) of training they do in Menlo Park. It's up to them to cold call and find time with hiring managers to sell themselves (and vice-versa). But time-wise, the process is much more constrained than Google's.
The judge in this case was appointed by a Republican president. Republicans have recently started to come out against porn [0]. Legislating porn away would be drastically unpopular (and ostensibly unconstitutional), but of course, judges are appointed undemocratically and thus are above having to answer to voters, so using judges to attack big porn sites' income seems like the strategy they're going with.

I would be highly surprised if there are any meaningful number of people who each hold multiple $300k jobs simultaneously. I just don't see how that would pass the hiring process.
This looks so close to what I am looking for, however I wonder if you have the one feature that I would like: rather than highlighting text in a page, I would like the ability to inject an icon that a user clicks in order to get a pop-up help message.

The intent of this is to write custom user help to inject into incomprehensible Enterprise application user interfaces.

I could get by with highlighting text of course, but I think it would be more attractive to have an icon as highlights all over the place would be a bit ugly.

Thoughts? (You, or anyone who know a way to accomplish this?)

>Think of these warranties as insurance; every insurance claim is subject to review and pushback. How much time do you wanna spend arguing with an underpaid overseas phone rep over the repair of a disposable $50 piece of electronics?

I've bought and been required to use the extended warranty on a couple of ~$200 electronic items on Amazon. There was zero arguing. I filed the claim and they sent me a cheque.

For the most part I agree that the extended warranties are useless, but there are entire classes of products you can buy where it makes sense to have that protection. If you take into consideration the expected life of the product (some of the warranties are 4 years!) and think of the purchase in terms of "1 item is $250, 2 is $275" it can be a great deal.
Should've mentioned the mandatory tonsure instead of the beard ban as the cause why there were so many barbers around monasteries. Of course it's a minor nitpick but an article that mentions the book Empire of the Scalpel should've pointed out the scalp shaving tradition of the catholic monasteries rather than some boring beard ban. Would've made a better story! I've also heard the church forbid monks from dealing with blood so they taught their barbers who were already familiar with sharp instruments to do the surgeries instead.

Greybeard here. Whenever a younger colleague is picking on code that I wrote ages ago (and which is not up to modern standards, never mind that it worked for 15+ years without complaints) I reply: "listen buddy, I have bugs that are older than you."

So you got a Pi and dumped an CPU-intensive, famously single-threaded game server and called it a useless toy when it didn't work.

It like trying to tow a trailer with a dirt bike and complaining when it doesn't move.

The PI as a server shines in running low-to-medium power services and having a low entry and upkeep costs.

I run a Plex server, Gitea server, samba filesharing and qbitorrent on a 4gb rpi4 and it just sit there and chugs along using like a tenth of the power a normal computer would, taking almost no space, making no noise and costing like a fifteenth something like a NUC would.

And as a bonus, if it ever does go kaput I can just get another rpi4 and the entire process of setting it all up again would take me 5 minutes max.
