Oh, Pomodoros is a thing?

I thought a Pomodoros was one of those little dogs, I guess that is Pomoranian, but that's what my mind went to. So I thought that was some kind of cynical remark like dog years, but short Pomorian dog cycles that dogs have during the day that I didn't know about. Just some throw-away remark by the author that it was measured by some dog cycle that I didn't know about. Arf.
Bisq also does this.
Optical fibre ain't useful for the kinds of applications that USB does.

(We have fibre to the home here in Singapore. It's great. But also fragile.)
"Hadoop" is never going to die. Even if it fades into the background, some vestigial remnant within Spark will use a HDFS wrapper to access S3 or something like that.

But MapReduce will eventually, finally, kick the can.
I probably have a lower tolerance for bullshit both compared to my younger self and compared to most other people. So it's not just the effort of filtering out ridiculous job postings – I'm not going to work for a blockchain equipped, NFT based dog therapy app company, nor do I share your passion in bringing social media to defecation tracking, etc. Now I'm spending some time and landing right into the leetcode queue. Or going through a decent interview process only to get met with a hiring freeze. The whole process is just tedious.
I’ll side with you. I lead a big team, but also an employee myself, I find probation period a very uncomfortable concept. There is no promises in interviews. You ask your questions, you get your answers, you make your decisions. If your questions ask for promises to make your decision easier, you are doing it wrong. From my perspective, any hire that ends up with negative probation outcome should be marked against interviewers performance. We are people, working with people with families, obligations, dreams. We have to let that sink in our thinking rather than take cover behind corporate policies, procedures, legislation etc.
I don't think that Tor in javascript would improve anything. Tor in golang on the other hand would gain multithreading and ease of integration. It would drop in nicely with the Golang standard library.
I assume card counting is already pretty impossible due to automated shuffling machines with a ton of decks in them.
You cannot kidnap someone and call it a "dispute".
Competent card counters simply don’t play insurance unless the count justifies it, so it’s not really an effective countermeasure against them. It does increase the casino’s profit against unskilled players, though. (And indeed, plenty of people think they’re in the former category but are actually in the latter…)
Ugh, the 4 hour one.

I once interviewed at a small AI company. The CTO had a Ph.D. (from MIT!) in Really Tough AI Stuff. He was supported by some of the best programmers in Really Tough AI Stuff. The last round was the multi-hour one. I had to do a couple of different programming challenges, which I think I did all right in. Then I was subjected to multiple rounds, by the CTO and his supporting developers, of Really Tough AI questions. I wasn't trained for this, plus I was nervous and worn out and really off my game, so I tended to open my answers with "I know I'm probably getting this wrong, but..." and then pretty much spitball a guess.

They were kind enough to provide feedback! They said "We really liked your answers and we think you have all the right skills, but you didn't seem very confident, so we're going to have to pass."

I probably had to be a psychopath in order to get that job, at least without a postgrad degree in Really Tough AI Stuff.

"An Enneagram test and one-on-ones with nineteen different people in H.R.
A fajita lunch, some improv games, and a Ping-Pong tournament, after which you will be evaluated on our five-dimensional Work Hard, Play Harder assessment matrix.
A ninety-minute walk-and-chat around our man-made lagoon with our C.E.O., Benji, and Benji’s dog, Mr. Rex. (Mr. Rex will “interview” you with his barks!)"

everything was pretty believable except 19 different people in HR. Would've been better just saying "19 different people". Because sometimes it feels like that!
Our most recent hire just quit - after 2.5 months. Because the interview process at a “better” company finally ended with an offer.

So you might get screwed even if you don’t play these games.
I've had the opposite experience. S8, S9 Plus, S22+, all of them for some reason cannot unlock the bootloader.

At this point I would recommend a Pixel of any variety. It's much much simpler to root and get GrapheneOS installed. Save yourself the headache (and the data leaks).
> If you know how to build the binary from scratch, could you teach the npm package's continuous build to do it? Sending a pull request fixing the npm package would fix it for everyone, not just nix users.

The "I have a binary already, just use this one" is in response to the problems NixOS users face dealing with helpful software like this.

NixOS doesn't provide shared libraries in the standard locations (for good reasons). Binaries that tools like NPM download will link against shared libraries in the standard location.

It's not really a question of "providing the binaries would help", because it's about assumptions of where the shared libraries are.
> Unfortunately, USB has more features than USB manufactures want to support.

It's not necessarily about 'wanting'. Manufacturers have to hit certain price points, otherwise they lose business to the competition that does.

Yes, it's about dollars. But mostly consumers' dollars.
Your link starts off with a lie by statistics.

Also, there are 80M kids, if 205 kids per year get kidnapped that's still better odds than winning the lottery.
I was thinking of casinos and sportsbooks specifically, where you can basically bet (and lose) however much you want. Indeed, lotteries and informally organized fantasy sports pools are somewhat less dangerous.

Germany has address registration so I don't think that's the reason.
> > They weren't. Please don't put words in others' mouths.

Nope. "If you study geopolitics and history, you might come to the conclusion that Russia was never going to be a democratic ally of the West regardless of how much economic aid they were given" is only a prediction of one likely result of an action.

It's only a commentary on one's person if one is the kind of person who thinks everything is about them.

A later comment in reply to your accusation. And you're surprised you got it reflected back at you? Ah, maybe you didn't realise how well-deserved that was.

> > And quit whining about the guidelines

> No. And your comment is blatantly violating the guidelines.

Oh, not only violating, but blatantly violating, eh? Sez you.

> > you're violating them at least as much as anyone else

> Nothing nearly as bad as your comment.

You would think so.

I don't.

> Also, even if you believe that someone else is violating the guidelines, that doesn't justify your own violations, unless you have complete disregard for them.

Exactly. Ponder on that for a while.

Eh... the Methylcyclopentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl (MMT) seems worse to me. Instead of burning lead they're now going to burn organic bound manganese and manganese causes some god awful diseases.
"The south" is a big, diverse place. Some places definitely resemble the third world, west Virginia is a prominent example, although it's not part of the south proper. And cities like Memphis have some major problems that are commonly attributed to third world countries.

America by and large is a diverse place. There are parts of non southern states with third world tier problems. Both states you mention have problems of that caliber.

Most of the developed world resembles the third world once you leave the cities, some of it even in the cities. Its all just rural undeveloped land with thin little roads, most of which aren't in pristene condition.
The cookie stuff is older than the GDPR. It was only required for sites that had non functionality based cookies for tracking purposes. The idea would be it would cut down on tracking cookies by making them visible. But obviously this had little effect because every site just put up a banner.

So the GDPR changed things by making it so you can't just inform the user about tracking, you must also give the user the option to say no which is why the next gen of banners have opt out options.
I can absolutely see this position, for me it’s more a case of protecting ourselves against the rare but increasing occasions of candidates actually making misleading claims. As I’ve said in a sibling comment, for me I like to be able to take basic skills at face value, and focus on core competencies. If someone can learn the skill during probation, that’s totally fine.

I don't know what they want the bandwidth for, but it's a real thing.
People definitely want to live by themselves even if they cannot afford to, and other things also factor into it.

(Disclaimer, I'm American, so can't speak directly about the Portuguese experience.) But as an example, at this point I don't remember the last time I saw a bunk bed in a non-dorm room setting. This used to be extremely common in low-income housing in particular [1] but as an example I have never, ever seen anyone share a bunk bed with a stranger.

One other effect is location, location, location. In Lisbon in particular, like most European cities there is generally a height limit imposed on most of the city (higher than most places in the US, but not so high that tall buildings are allowed). There is only ten buildings above 80 meters in all of Portugal. If your building is so short, there is only going to be so many ways to subdivide it before you can't split it more to accommodate people.

Back when I was a regular employee I would take 2-3 interviews every 6 months. I found many benefits to doing this: interviewing skills, salaries in my market, skills people are hiring for. I definitely recommend it to anyone, especially if you are the type of person who is anxious about interviews.
Card counting is indeed impossible on games with a continuous shuffling machine that shuffles after every hand (or every few hands). But many games don’t use those, because they’re expensive, and even non-advantage-players dislike them for superstitious reasons.

Indeed, plenty of games do use CSMs which is one of the many reasons card counting is harder and less profitable than it was in the past. But it’s not impossible.
WSL1 was so much better. WSL2 appears to simply be an effort for Microsoft to showcase Hyper-V and it has all the issues associated with virtualization - despite Microsoft's best attempts at blending the two environments.
If you can get a STEM PhD you can probably get into FAANG. Sure they're not what they used to be, they're still difficult to get. And they require many of the same skills as modern programming interviews.

Calm down Casey Jones, one is forcing you to do anything.
I’ve been interviewing for 8 months. Getting to many final rounds, 1 lowballed offer, 1 rescinded offer, and it’s playing a mental toll. Today, I got a rejection that went along the lines of “everyone loved you and there was absolutely 0 negative feedback, but we just found a better fit.” I almost broke down, but hid behind a facade of positivity because the long weekend was starting and my kids can’t afford a bummed out Friday.

Interviewing shouldn’t require such thick skin. I’m here questioning my life, and reduced to worthlessness.
Duh -- MRGA, not MARA.

Miners in Proof of Work don’t control the rules. There have been multiple attempts to exercise hash power as political control in Bitcoin that have failed. There already exists precedent regarding the political power of running your own node with incredibly low capital requirements relative to mining.

Ethereum is already in a battle over what consensus rules actually exist. Large scale staking enterprises such as exchanges are signaling their intent to follow extra-protocol conventions, and if they control a supermajority of staked ETH, they control the right to slash. The only way to have a voice in it is by acquiring $50,000 in ETH.
It's interesting how Americans love complaining that Europeans regulate everything, but Americans regulate unions. A union is just a bunch of people getting together. Isn't this protected by free speech or something?

If you write code in script1, you may use s1 to translate your code into JavaScript for web, Python for machine learning, and Dart for mobile app.
Do companies really code like that? I find it both. interesting and horrifying.
Really? Not a single example? Ok VICE time to one up them.
I wonder how much the difficulty/pain of interviewing is a joint effort by big tech to make it annoying to switch jobs once you get in? I have met numerous FAANG engineers who say they would never want to do the process again and, despite [insert a normal work gripe], interviewing at another well paid company is too much work.

Certainly before big tech agreed not to poach from each other once upon a rime, but now I wonder if this is a lower grade version of this?
more money =longer interview seems to be the general rule of thumb.

I haven't tried generating porn, but as a pianist I tried to get both DALL-E and stable diffusion to generate pictures of pianists with 3 arms and I've never had it produce a picture of a person with 3 arms. I assumed that's because there's no training material for it to base it on.
It would be helpful if the connectors for the different cables had different shapes, so it would be immediately obvious what kind of cable it is and mostly prevent plugging incompatible cables into the wrong places. Thank you for listening to my TED talk.

The theorists call this "context collapse". A huge part of human communication is about what went before, where and when the communication happens, and what the speaker and listener know about each other and what kind of shared experiences they have.

We could compare starting a business to getting married and come up with one big difference:

Any decent lawyer will draft your business partnership agreement to provide for one partner wanting or needing to move on. That doesn't mean it'll be painless or cost-free, but at least there should be financial details in there.

In marriage, a lot of couples think a pre-nuptial is anti-romantic.
It happens. It's awkward because not only does it obviously suck for the employee but it means there's a big problem with the interview process. When I worked for a company that encountered the same problem we corrected for it by adding a screening call, after CTO chat and before an on-site. We used that call with a senior engineer to perform a trivial live-coding problem in Code Sandbox. Every candidate got the same problem, so it became our benchmark. It was a 5 minute problem, 10-15 if you're nervous in an interview. We were able to weed out not only all the candidates who couldn't solve it, but those that took 40 minutes, those that could barely find their way around a text editor, those who struggled to write syntacticly correct JS, and those who had to rely on Google to write a for loop.

For those rare candidates that completed the problem rapidly, we would give them a follow-on question that was a more typical interview question, just so that they didn't think our bar was set stupidly low.
You missed my point.

My point is that spending in stupid shit is a much bigger factor than inflation. So Op blaming his problems is just blame shifting. His actual problem is he's shit with money.

No, not Stockholm syndrome. I'm also on 6 figures in one of the most expensive cities in the us, but I stretch my money to the absolute limit. Instead I don't spend in stupid shit.

Think I'm wrong? Notice how OP didn't tell us where his money is going.
I see what you're saying. But there's no reason why you couldn't do the same thing with this design. You can build a basic DOM model that is allowed and only let that portion through. While the outer layer uses Javascript freely to run. You can decide what policy you want before displaying any output.
I just recently went through this. Seven interviews over a period of nearly a month. I didn't get the position. The most frustrating thing was that there was so much repetition.

Each round had one or more interviewers and I never met the same people twice. I can only assume none of them had context from the previous rounds because so many of the situational and culture type questions were basically identical. I couldn't even fake enthusiasm after the third round.

Moving forward I will kindly be declining participating in any interview process that has more than three rounds. Besides being draining, it's a pretty good indicator of bigger problems in the company itself.

I am seeing interns joining at 90k+ atm and you can extrapolate but on a <45deg angle from there. I even know a junior (<2yr experience) at 140k, not any kind of superstar but lucky I guess.

It can go like that. A lot of other times, a trusted dev brings their buddy on after an hour talk with the team and it just works out because one person has directly worked with them in the past and two others have a friend that also vouches for them. Seen this most places I've worked.
My partner just got off the tech job hunt roller coaster last week - signed a solid offer at a great company with a team she's excited to join.

You can certainly hit AUD 200k (including superannuation) as a senior software engineer at one of the big australian banks. To go much higher you probably have to stop being an IC and start being an engineering manager. Or stop being a permie and start being a contractor.

Some US-based well funded companies that hire software engineers in Australia are willing to bid substantially higher for senior engineers (i.e. ~ AUD 300k comp + stock).

I think it's a cultural difference. Many companies see firing as a failure to competently hire. Many employees see firing as a sign of instability. In the few startups I've worked at, I saw top talent leave at the first sign of instability/layoffs.
