I can see it both ways. I initially thought the employer was already nice enough to give the applicant a chance, instead of denying at the outset.

But then I remembered my own experiences of putting in a lot of work to apply for an opportunity, and then getting a curt denial saying I wasn’t what the employer was looking for, or not up to the task at the time.

I think it’s important to remember the feelings of getting rejected like that. Later on, when I was in a position of rejecting candidates, I volunteered the time to send longer responses with minor feedback despite the opportunity cost, just because I remembered what it was like to be an applicant.
There is one important monetization strategy that is overlooked by this article: dual licensing. License the source explicitly for non commercial use only, then offer a commercial use licensed product (plus support, usually) for a fee. If there is a big community of hobbyists in the relevant field who do the same thing in their dayjob, I think this works well.

Edit: A more open source version of this is to GPL the source and offer a more commercial friendly licensed product for a fee. I don't know if this technically goes against GPL but I have seen people do this.

It doesn't matter if there is evidence or not, if statistically, women are treated less the issue is real and there needs to be a social/public push to make it appropriate.

There needs to be a law similar to good Samaritan that allows for men to touch women during CPR without fear of reprisal.

I've also interacted with him via email and was put off by his response but after reading some of his blog posts I think this is how he gets stuff done with limited resources. The email was short and to the point, which feels "rude", but it gave me exactly what I needed in a few short words.

Steve Jobs is famous for his very short emails and I suspect they evoked similar responses from people.

I like to give more detail in my own correspondence, but it does take significant time.

I've used Thunderbird for probably like 15 years now and this is the first time I'm hearing that it ever was abandonware. At no point during that time did I not like it much better than all alternatives. Pretty impressive given that it apparently wasn't being developed for several years.
Wow, that's really impressive. I'll probably start using this right away.

There are gui frameworks made by the community as well. Avalonia has picked up steam since it supports Linux and has been around for a while. Documentation is lacking and I can never get it to work the way I want but I suspect that's more my fault than theirs.

Uno is another cross platform C# gui framework. I gave up on C# gui apps before I ever tried it out, but it looks good.

I suspect that it's related to the high degree of decentralization. Sparkasse and Volksbank are each federations of hundreds of independent local credit unions. You can do business with them if you accept that the standard interchange fees and conditions are set in stone, but if you want preferential treatment, you need to negotiate with every local member bank individually.

I'll go out on a limb and assume that the standard fee structure does not afford wallet manufacturers a per-transaction fee.
I initially developed an iOS app (https://ayahbyayah.com) using Objective-C in 2012 (10 years on the AppStore next month)

Re-developed in Xamarin.iOS in 2016 which has been a solid decision due to the productivity gains I get from C# and Visual Studio tooling.

Xamarin.Forms works well for line of business apps and the performance with iOS was fine, however encountered a number of Android performance issues which is simply due to the nature of the framework.
Yes. This comes across as "we are so smart, this project wasn't hard enough to demand our full attention".

Coding in a manifestly immature language signals that you are not really serious about being used where long-term support across a variety of platforms may be important. The language is still more likely than not to fizzle. If it does, it makes your flagship project a niche player.
It is only marketing (strategy is a serious word, that cannot be used for this madness).

I don't think threat assessment is driving people's driving habits. More likely, they didn't actually see you, or if they did, they made an assumption that you were going to wait for them or otherwise not be in their path. That could be because they don't know the laws concerning cycling, or maybe being tired/distracted/inebriated.

Far more is needed. CRIU needs to work; live migrating containers between hosts. Network overlay, with transparent encryption, name resolution and access control are necessary. Bulletproof network storage management is crucial. Containers need to easily float among hosts, and the networking and storage they depend on must follow seamlessly.

Most of the pieces exist, but we're a long way off. I believe the future is an operating system with integrated clustering solely focused on hosting containers and the networking and storage they need.
Ludicrous, but this is the situation... holy cow, imagine a future where TikTok likes, determine the outcome of an election.

Yes, note he stated "if head injuries are more common with helmets".

There have been some studies that correlate higher levels of head injuries with mandatory helmet laws. The thesis was that wearing a helmet induces more reckless cycling (higher speeds, etc) due to feeling safer. I don't remember seeing any good follow-ups studies either way and don't necessarily agree with the study.
As someone who homebrews beer and supplied beer for my office for a couple of years, I have no idea what this author is talking about. When I'd bring in a new beer, I would have folks asking me about what I did but that was the only time "brewing techniques" were ever brought up.

Idk, it seems theft is low in countries where they cut hands for it.

Bike theft is a very harmful crime. It stops the move to healthier lifestyle, it leaves people, often poor ones who don't have cars without means of transportation and it cause many to not commute by bike.

I want aggressive policing, including trap bikes set up by the police to fish out potential thieves and lock them for years once caught, alternatively make them wear GPS locator all the time. I want them to feel fear every time they think about stealing.
Maybe empty "tough on crime" promise isn't enough but it's surely better than typical approach of "let's all think about those poor thieves" or victim blaming (just lock your bike with 2 U-locks and keep your eyes on it all the time if you don't want it stolen).
Craig here from Crunchy Data. I think you're speaking to the app side of things on hobby level. On the database side of things our security posture for Crunchy Bridge I'd say is stronger than the Heroku one. By default we isolate all databases in a VPC, everything is purely single tenant where as Heroku Postgres at least when I was there had multiple forms of multi-tenancy which when doing multi-tenancy in Postgres can have risks[1]-this applies even to the major 3 cloud providers. Our team is essentially the original Heroku Postgres team so we've built with security but also user experience for Postgres in mind since day one.

Now I assume you were speaking to the 3 mentioned, render, railway, fly in terms of hobby level. All three are fairly young relative to Heroku's age, but Fly did recently get their SOC2 and the team really took it to heart and invested in it so I'd put some stock in that. I can't speak definitively to the others, but do know all three can be solid for production apps. If you've got HIPAA or other specific requirements I'd encourage a conversation with them.

> buying groceries in my local suburb

Ah yes, the natural environment of the 4ft tall tired diesel monstrosity truck.

I understand that you want this vehicle for offroading. But in my opinion it should be treated like a dirt bike or a 4 wheeler: you should have to tow it to the trails. If you live in the wilderness, feel free to drive it right onto dirt roads and trails. But it just shouldn't be allowed at all in a suburban or urban environment. A truck like that cannot possibly fit in the parking space at the grocery store. Not being able to see over the hood is a danger to anyone walking or biking in your suburb, and probably contributes to the fact that nobody walks or bikes in your suburb.
Craig here from Crunchy, we do run some small pieces on Heroku, but during the DNS outage saw no interruption of databases and they all seemed to be available and up. Please do feel free to drop us a note and we'll happily investigate if something did occur there.
They will be discontinued, but of course the profits made during all this time-- with everyone including those companies knowing how it is basically laundering intellectual property-- will stick.
But mongodb is webscale.

Lol.

Maybe pern, but I think e might be replaced with buns http server for a lot of full stack or people will use remix which itself is pretty nice.... Or use go or rust or laravel etc....

Personally I won't touch a mongodb project, you can generally do much more and get better performance using postgres with JSON when you need schemaless tables.
Indeed... the "fired for poor performance" is about the biggest red flag, and a clear euphamism for "fired for user centric principles."
I pretty much have this setup currently:

Email hosted by a 3rd party (like migadu or purelymail) then moved my cell number over to voip.ms, which sends all texts and voicemails to me via email, where I can now respond to texts via my email client. Then I use feedmail to have all my rss and social feeds email the full text and images to me in either a digest or when they are published.

I have to say I've been loving it. I'm currently setting up notmuch and alot as my mail indexer/sorter and commandline viewer, too.

It occurred to me a few weeks ago that it was kind of nonsensical that there are tons of safety requirements that have added a lot of cost and complexity to a basic car (arguably this is a very good idea) yet you can still ride a motorcycle around legally. I don't know about you but I'd rather drive to work in a 1980 honda civic than a motorcycle, if only to stay out of the rain. But it isn't legal to sell a 1980s style civic anymore.

As an entrepreneur (contractor) in Poland, you get free state-provided healthcare. You're also paying mandatory contributions to state-provided pensions (equivalent of US social security). It's true there is no job security, but in return you pay 17% in total tax burden on your income and not 40-50% you pay in Germany. The rates are also much higher than full time salaries, so in the end you take home probably twice what your German colleagues take, while having a fraction of their costs of living. Do that for 10 years and you end up with $1 million in the bank, which is enough to retire early in Poland.
Smart seems to mean "does trivial little things like turn the heat up and down depending on the time of day" or somewhat self-sustaining. In other words, automation, but with parameters. Consider a trivial example that predate "smart" tech: an ice maker that knows when the ice is low and makes more, but stops when it's full. It relieved people of the burden of refilling the ice trays. A car that switches to a fuel-conserving mode when the gas (or battery charge) drops below a certain level. Now think of something you have to remember to do that the device either does for you, or at least reminds you to do it.

It's all about the same way consumer gadgets have always been marketed: to save the owner time, energy, and money, leaving them with more time for leisure and fun. Or today, leaving them more time to work to afford rent and food along with all the gadgets.

If you're interested in learning more about tech, maybe go work for a developer tools or infrastructure company. They build compilers, databases, distributed systems frameworks, IDEs, etc.

If you're interested in learning more about business, maybe join an early stage startup (Series B at most) and focus on customers.

If you want to get into devrel or technical marketing, start writing more. Write blog posts for your company blog (since you can presumably do this on company time) if you have trouble finding time to write for yourself. Use company time to attend conferences or meetups and/or give talks.

You can also pivot into product management if you are interested in dealing more with customers.
Search your heart, do you think this story ends similarly if they decide to all do "modern C++" instead?

My guess is that even with initial discipline in the form of code review and style enforcement by one or two people, the C++ descends into a riot of different opinions about, as usual, which are the good bits.

A similar piece of software could be written in C++ but I doubt it gets written successfully, in similar time, by this team. I reckon the post mortem of such an attempt would be written off as "Don't do rewrites, duh"
Isn't it already the case?

A brand new C1 is about 12K€. That's not even twice the price of an electrified cargo bike (I saw about 7/8K€ floated around the other day).

And if you go for used, you can get cars in good enough shape for less than 5K€.

Obviously, the additional car will have a much higher running cost than if you went for an electrified cargo bike or stuck to a single car. Forcing people to make that conscious choice would be a pro in my opinion.

Although our graph-based vector index does not use HNSW, the concept is similar.
One of the reason why I used Blueprints a lot in UE4 (despite being totaly at home and liking C++) is that iteration was much faster.

Recompiling C++ was ok-ish with hot-reload, but each time I changed/added some header file or class/struct member I had to recompile the entire thing which meant restarting the entire Unreal Editor.

During this wait time I often went online which broke my flow or productivity.

> I would argue that their hands were somewhat tied because raising the federal gas tax during a recession would have been an extremely unpopular thing to do regardless of the reasoning.

Hopefully in the next boom time we'll do the sane thing and finally tie the gas tax to inflation, or at least increase it at the same rate as we do federal wages. Making it a fixed amount of pennies is about the dumbest thing we could have done.
My personal objective take is if it runs a Linux kernel, it's Linux. Any other factor is subjective and does not matter.

Legally though, Linus Torvalds gets to define what Linux is because he owns that name.
This take reduces the idea too much. If everyone was just "Abused", they'd stop using it. Clearly, many people see benefit despite the abuses.

I used facebook messenger to keep in touch with my family across the world. My family is incapable of using signal, whatsapp, sms, email, telegram, phone calls, or anything else.

I also use facebook to buy stuff on the classifieds. It's like craigslist except there's at least a picture of someone and a paper trail if they decide to murder me.

My neighborhood organizes events using a facebook group and we've been able to have festivals and organize groups to go fight against companies that want to industrialize the area.

Facebook is trash at what it was initially built to be, but it is still very useful.
I don't think meetings suck. Meetings are high bandwidth communication that can obliterate confusion and create team consensus. Long running meetings can create positive feedback loops.

Meetings aren't agents. A meeting is bad when the people in the meeting are bad.

Perhaps someone Dutch can correct me if I'm wrong, but from my understanding, bakfiets is Dutch for a bin-in-the-front style cargo bicycle (Google translates it as "bin bicycle"), and there is also a company that takes its name from this style of bike and makes cargo bikes and trikes in this bin-in-the-front style. I'm referring to the two-wheeled type, ie a bicycle, and I assume everyone else is, since that's what the video is about.

With such a tone I wouldn't expect an answer. Do your own research.
Largely because bikes and pedestrians are forced to mix in most areas in the US.

Provide reasonable bicycle infrastructure and the problem starts to resolve itself.

A few local examples... the main road outside my subdivision has a bike lane, but it ends a few blocks before the school, starts again, then stops a few blocks before the shopping center. So, bikes have to move to the sidewalk and interact with pedestrians, dog walkers, children (or enter a traffic lane). Terrible design.

That shopping center has a single bike rack at one end. To get from that rack to the coffee shop on the other side requires a long walk through the shopping center OR walking across a large parking lot. So, people just leave their bikes leaning against the wall outside the coffee shop. Terrible design.
It depends a lot what you want to focus on in life, if money is important and you want to build that nest egg, it may be worth going through the leetcode grind.

From a comment further up, Jellyfin has an open issue on GitHub with a list of various security problems (most if not all of which come from Emby when they forked off of it). At least they're open about it, and working on it. It seems like running it on the public net might be a bad idea for the time being. But running it internally should be just fine.

I personally run Jellyfin, and aside from security issues, I'm quite pleased with it.
is it low cost, though?
