Ask HN: How do you pass an HR online application process?
Short:

Do you have a reliable strategy to pass the online HR screening method and be selected for a first interview?

Long:

I have submitted perhaps 50 job and internship applications in the past 10 years, and won 4 (2 internships, 2 jobs, all well-compensated). However, all 4 times I was actually hired, I initially made direct contact with and impressed an engineering/project management team member, who shepherded me through the HR process until I was actually interviewing with someone who did real engineering/project management work.

I'm maybe 1 for 50 in terms of applying online and receiving an interview, and 3 other times I've connected with a real team member only to have my application killed off and ghosted by HR. Hiring managers who are not HR tend to like my resume and cover letters, and I perform very well in interviews.

What gives?
It's not as big as Creative Cloud (which isn't really a cloud-based product), but

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Experience_Cloud

is a real SaaS product which strikes me as closer to Figma than CC in terms of how it goes to market. XC and other server-side products seem to generate a bit less than half the revenue of CC.

Adobe has made some effort to cloudify CC but I think those efforts have been pretty weak.
If one is well hedged and reduced exposition to markets before the hikes (basically anyone who was paying attention to inflation), a global recession might be a good thing. Inflation will be tamed, us labor markets will be relaxed and nonsense companies will die.

The article ignores the recent Biden admin student loan forgiveness plan

You only have to pay 5% of your disposable income to your student debt. These parents with parent plus loans are going to be fine with that

In fact that’s a loophole that some are talking about that by will make college very cheap for middle class parents at the right life stage. Parents take out a big loan for their kids and then retire so their income becomes very low and the 5% payment becomes almost nothing and then after 10-20 years the remaining balance is totally forgiven
And that's the thing -- all the fancy gymnastics the article uses to derive the cost of running the network based on power utilization and power costs is irrelevant.

The Bitcoin network pays 238,500 BTC annually for its maintenance, plus fees. This is the amount that will be paid regardless of network difficulty, price of bitcoin, mining capacity, cost of electricity, capital cost of mining equipment, etc.
> This is the true poison in my opinion. Journalists can in seconds find random tweets stating any conceivable narrative they want to create, and then launder their personal opinions by pretending to "report" on "what sources are saying".

That... not remotely true. No one writes stories for major organizations based only on tweets[1]. Go pick up (figuratively) a newspaper and read the front page stories carefully, and make note of how the sources are identified. I'd be beyond shocked if "twitter" appeared even once.

IMHO the real reason for "collapse in confidence in journalism" is that this is itself a meme driven by people who, for partisan reasons, simply don't want to have confidence in media reporting things "their side" doesn't want to be true. In a world where truth (about climate change, election results, disease impact, etc...) is a partisan thing, those whose job it is to report the truth become part of the war.

But reporters today are doing the same thing reporters have always been doing.

[1] Except the occasional circumstance where someone specific says something notable and it happens to be on twitter. Trump said lots of weird stuff and it got reported, but it's not like someone went around filtering his otherwise-not-notable tweets for juicy stuff. "He Just Tweeted it Out" is a meme for a reason.
Where did you get the median income from? Also, median household income is different from median income. According to the last census, median household income in San Francisco is under $120k[1]. That is household. The average income for a person is less than $82k[2]. Oakland and San Jose are lower than that.

Selling it in Amazon when you don't actually own a copy, then going out and buying a copy at need.

Which is exactly what the article's author thinks might be happening, for the higher-priced book.
agreed, that's why my practical advice is less about college prep and more about meeting a lot of people who do a lot of different things for a living and letting those observations inform your direction and plans.

fwiw my nieces ignored my advice and are liberal arts majors at private colleges in the US but at least they have close to full-ride scholarships.

I think the causality is reversed here. Financial success on substack will come from developing a particular style that doesn't exist elsewhere in quite the same way, just like a writer or musician. It's not that people will walk on eggshells as they build a bigger audience, but rather that they have to start flanderizing themselves from the start to get that audience in a crowded market.
> My preferred explanation for bordeebook’s pricing is that they do not actually possess the book. Rather, they noticed that someone else listed a copy for sale, and so they put it up as well – relying on their better feedback record to attract buyers. But, of course, if someone actually orders the book, they have to get it – so they have to set their price significantly higher – say 1.27059 times higher – than the price they’d have to pay to get the book elsewhere.

I've also seen arbitrage where the seller will buy the collectible on one platform, then drag their feet on paying, while listing it for sale on a different platform.
Hey now, what is wrong with 10. class at home ;-)?

I chose 10, for simpler segmentation in my head primarily as I have a lot of devices in my house (10.<grouping/VLAN>.<location>.n), less chance of conflict as devices come online (devices i connect often are coded to 192, VPNs, etc.), helps with my VPNs between my locations.
They’re not talking about Spring/Boot or Micronaut though. There isn’t even any evidence the author has any more experience with them than what little they have with Quarkus. It’s a rant.

As people’s “real world” connections dwindle the desire to just talk continues - I’ve known people who are perfectly content with their crazy idea if they can talk about it now and then, but if they have no outlet at all it’s like it begins to grow and starts to dominate them.
Dendrite landed push back in March: https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite/pull/1842

I doubt it’s a technical or staffing issue but more likely lack of a clear business incentive and internal politics issue.
One of the reasons for “gen ed ” classes is to give you exposure to different fields at a time when many students don’t know what they want to do in life. Not everyone goes into college 100% sure they want a CS degree and to be a software engineer or whatever.

One of the reasons they are easy is because they are intro courses at the doorway of an entire field of study that is not lacking in depth or complexity. Intro to CS is also very easy (this is a variable, this is an if statement, this is a while loop), but that doesn’t mean the 400 level OS or AI course is a walk in the park. The same goes for philosophy, physics, biology, chemistry, history, or any other subject you perhaps thought was a joke. The ease of the 100 level course is so it doesn’t scare you away entirely, not because the field is intrinsically easy.

Many students will take that gen ed course and then switch into that major because they found the topic fascinating. You took it and found it dull, which actually did add value to your education because it reaffirmed your choice of your major. Some people aren’t so lucky and pick a career they hate, only to find something they love much later in life.

Anyway, this idea that opencourseware is equivalent to a university education is not true in my experience. From my perspective, learning is a multiplayer activity. My students learn best when they are helping each other, doing group projects, teaching eachother things they’ve just learned, and going through the college experience as a cohort. University isn’t just about the facts in the book or the curriculum. I think if that were true, the University system would have been obviated long ago by open courseware. But that has t happened and it won’t because open courseware is just a projection of a university education, not the full thing.
Seems like a project they would have to take on out of the goodness of their hearts, because I don't see how it makes their business meaningfully more valuable. Basically I'm not sure I see how the investment in this technology makes any business sense for them
For comparison, here's the wording on the Brexit ballot papers in 2016:

- Remain a member of the European Union
- Leave the European Union

Nothing showed this better than that anti-work mod. In that case the stereotype of a teenage loser posting from their mom's basement was laughably true. Reddit got a lot more understandable when you realize that most of the posts are coming from people like that.

Income over $130k is heavily taxed at 24%. Retirement age can only be increased so many times before retirement is effectively gone for the lower class - I think I've heard the statistic that the majority of Americans will only ever collect on three social security checks.
In my view that is the strongest use case of bitcoin that exists at this time, but the usefulness of this practice is dependent on the value of the crypto resting on the speculative desire of most of its adherents.
>The risk is that it will be excessively contractionary and will trigger a worldwide recession

>Those who advocate a tightening of fiscal and monetary policy in the name of stopping inflation, do so because they fear a build up of inflationary momentum. That risk may be real. No less real, however, are the costs of the contractionary policy mix being applied now.

My intuition on the problem is that no matter where we fall along the spectrum once it lands, we will have both unacceptably high inflation (which we've already had) and an unacceptably large recession. Don't know which one will hurt more yet.

> and are driven by compliance box ticking

For many IT departments, passing audits is a huge deal, that is very important to senior management. I know for my last set of compliance audits, I had to show evidence that every employee workstation was encrypted, patched, and running up to date Anti-virus software. (My company deals with PHI data)

I know there are other ways to solve many of the problems, but ensuring disk encryption and patching especially can be difficult if you have a mix of systems, and OS's.

I think 2 of the biggest pushes for this lately is the huge cost of 'cyber insurance' for things like ransomware atacks, as well as reporting requirements for lost/stolen laptops that could potentially have PHI on them.
This is essentially the "elite overproduction" hypothesis. We have artificially priced some forms of education below the market rate. Graduates with useless degrees have poor career prospects, leading to social instability.

I mean this with all sincerity and respect -- at least you admit you don't believe in free speech and you're not a hypocrite, which is more than you can say for a lot of those in your school of thought.

As for me, I think we have enough limits on speech and going further leads to tyranny, that muzzling those you disagree with is abominable and unenlightened. Stalin and Pol Pot would have also eagerly explained why their measures were really for the good of the public, and why new circumstances required it. Your argument boils down to, free speech of my political enemies is only acceptable when it doesn't have influence and reach.

There's a difference. ARM isn't entrenched in the server rooms.

With RISC-V's momentum, it is now likely it will never be.
> Are you sure?

Yes. This can be verified with a packet trace.

It can also be verified visually. Download a notarized stapled app, disable your internet connection, and launch the app. You'll see a Gatekeeper dialog like this:

"Safari downloaded this file on [date]. As of [date], Apple checked it for malicious software and none was detected."

Notice "As of [date]".

Then press Cancel, re-enable your internet, and launch the app again.

This time "As of [date]" is gone! It's phoned home to check.
1. A poor estimate is better than none at all. No matter how uncertain it is, there has to be some range where we can say with 95% confidence, BTC energy consumption falls within this range. We all understand that any estimate will be very uncertain because of the scale and complexity of mining.

2. The arguments youre responding to about BTC being a waste of energy etc. aren't being made in this post. He's just using energy to estimate leak rate, not to assign any moral value to it.
It's very clear why people are killing each other in Ukraine.

I'd grant that. I'd say the authentic-to-Java approach to the problem is to static import something like a "map" function

var result = map(x,x=>x.y)

which is equivalent to

var result = isNull(x) ? null : x.y

where isNull is static imported from Objects.

An approach which is authentic to some other languages is to consistently used a list with 0 or 1 members instead of optionals.
A quite large group of people call it a hellsite precisely because there are people on it who disagree with them.

The real red pill is realizing it is a hellsite because it is full of people who agree with you.
shrug. I'd rather people discuss whether claims are made in good faith and create standards of debate rather than try to prove that they're correct. Because ironically the latter just breeds bad faith rhetoric.

The worst pattern off rhetoric that is absolutely dominating public discourse is "You've been accused of doing X"; "Well yeah but my opponent did something vaguely similar, ergo it's ok"
This article appears to take place in a universe where interest rates at central banks are at counter-inflationary levels. They've been inflationary for a decade, and continue to be so.

With inflation at 10%, fears about "going too far with interest rates" make sense only *at least* north of 5%, and realistically, 8%.
Affirmative Action as a Magic Bullet
Good point, still, context switch code can enter the ROP before the previous instruction flow is retired. Is the ROB explicitly flushed or can instructions from different processes (or a user process and the kernel) coexist in the ROB?
The story lines have been getting more and more shallow. Simple cooperative heists, killings, theft, etc, with very predictable gang assertion themes.

They are investing far more time and effort into "online" - the leaks confirmed this. "Open worlds" lend themselves to shallow micro-stories.

Maybe I'm being a grumpy old man, but in video game history, the best games were those that had complex character development, and novel worlds that supported a deep and thoughtful plot - something that would make the player have some emotional investment in.

I don't see any evidence of that in recent GTA games.
It doesn't help that 40-50% are very impressionable, which is a bad combination when you put them all in a virtual room together like Reddit or Twitter.
Right, nobody buys Bitcoin because of its sales pitch, which was that it's supposedly stable currency. It's supposed to behave like gold by mimicking gold (mining, limited supply, divisibility, etc.), but in reality its price behaves like a Beanie Baby. And before you say Bitcoin can be used as a currency - I would say the number of people doing that is vanishingly small compared to the amount of people buying it to speculate on the exchanges.
You can read the Apology yourself (in the original Greek, even), and see that is has nothing to do with “bad faith” in the way we understand contemporarily: “corrupting the youth of Athens” refers specifically to encouraging their atheism and lack of deference.

To his eternal credit, Socrates does not argue very well in his defense. But this does not amount to bad faith on his part.
Here's the lesson I want people to learn: we had 40+ years of stagnant real wages (overall; there are exceptions). What happened in the pandemic was:

1. People realized going into an officce to work was unncessary and even anachronistic for many jobs;

2. Employers like employees in the office as a form of control;

3. Employers made short-term decisions to lay off huge amounts of people (even after taking PPP loans for the purpose of preventing this);

4. After 1-2 years of suppressed demand, companies weren't equipped for the increased demand and couldn't hire back their staff at the same rate;

5. As always, there are no labor shortages, only under-market wages;

6. The pandemic created a situation where a lot of people could (and did) get their first real increase in wages in decades.

7. Much of those real wages have been eroded by inflation.

Take all this together and you realize that policymarkers consider labor movements an existential threat to profits. Suddenly it's increased wages that are responsible for inflation.

And then you have ideas (as in this post) where the only way of reining in inflation is by increasing borrowing costs, which hurts a lot of individual borrowers.

Why isn't corporate taxation being used to control the money supply? It would have the same net effect except that it would fund the government rather than lenders. Several countries have imposed windfall profits taxes.

We saw this last week with the averted rail strike. Those workers could face consequences for taking off unpaid sick days for themselves or their family. To give them all 15 paid sick days a year would cost 3.5% of the industry's profits (~$680m/year IIRC for 125,000 workers). Not revenue. Profits.

This system wants to keep you in debt, low-paid (just sufficient to service your debt) and have limited other options. Then you'll show up to work and not make trouble by asking for raises.

That underpins all the policy decisions around inflation, interest rates and the looming recession.

The approach outlined above is the approach I would take (and have previously taken). Some details that I personally think are important:

Step 0. Setup typescript with version control for your current JS mess.

Step 1. FWIW, with ReactDOM.renderToString you can use JSX as your template engine.

Step 2. Move all of your PHP views to JSX views, PHP keeps returning JSON.

Step 3. Abuse component.unmount(); component = ReactDOM.createRoot(…); to get components with view state, but also can get updated by regular JS events that require a rerender just like you would with the legacy jQuery code.

Step 4. Keep pushing more of the logic from the legacy jQuery code and PHP code into React/Typescript. You’ll find that the React components will keep getting grouped and you can start to compose more of the widgets together.

Step 5. You end up with one big React app, minimal PHP (that is easy to test), and a decision about how to manage your state.

At this point it’ll be in shape to not need a lot of attention. Truly, the DB mess will figure itself out as your PHP continually becomes minimal and well tested.
