Interesting. I doubt it was the same person, but I was approached with a proposition regarding Upwork not super dissimilar to this three times by somebody on the Elixir Slack. I think it was the same "person" each time just with different accounts because they kept getting banned by the admins.

Basically the person would write to me and say something like, "I'm a good $language dev and am worth $120/hr but in my country that is really high pay and people won't pay it unless you're American. I'll get closer to $25/hr." Then the deal is something like this: "We will apply for jobs/contracts in your name, but I'll do 100% of the work and you keep half the money and send me the other half."

The worst part is, I get the feeling that the premise is actually true and that this person is merely trying to beat the system. However, I could never bring myself to do such a thing due to the dishonesty required. Secondarily (but importantly) I've been burned by low-cost foreign contractors that billed for over a week before essentially delivering nothing, so I'm a bit once-bitten twice shy. I likely never would, but have considered doing a similar strategy but in an honest way where I'm up front with the client that I won't personally be doing all the work, but instead will out-source it, but I would be their point of contact/PM and if the work wasn't acceptable then (worst case scenario) I would (re)do it all personally.
Just the opposite, she's a far left communist of the variety with strong bonds to russia. Which doesn't make her any more politically relevant.

Seattle-area parent here. I grew up in near a small city in the midwest, but even there we had 3 levels of classes for nearly every subject, and a gifted program. It was awesome. My classmates were all smart and hard-working, and I entered college already having tested out of nearly 2 years of general education requirements. Public schools are the way to go, or so I thought.

Having seen what the Seattle public school system has become, I'm planning to send my kids to private school. Most of my (largely Asian) friends here will do the same. As usual, people with the means to do so will pay to avoid these problems, but the lower/middle class suffers the consequences.

I am one of these "WhatsApp spammers" (well, I don't consider myself a spammer but you might!).

We sell financial services in a developing country. We're not a mobile app—we're just a mobile-first website (a common gripe on HN is 'there's too many apps, just make a website'. Well, we're one of them).

We need to be able to get in touch with our customers for transactional purposes (changes to their account, delivery notifications, login links, that sort of thing). Our customers don't have email. SMS gets filtered at the phone level (and uses untrustworthy, shared numbers). The only option is WhatsApp.

Most of the world does not have a computer, they have a phone. So at this point it's either WA or a native app + push notifications. Which would you prefer?

Just for reference, facebook has pretty strict guidelines for sending unsolicited messages.

In order for us to send you an unsolicited message, that message must use a preapproved template. Those templates are not supposed to be used for marketing purposes (although it's easy enough to craft a seemingly transactional template that is actually marketing). And there's also some cases that are a bit of a gray area.

However, in our experience, users are brutal flagging spammy messages as spammy, and facebook has pretty strict deliverability rules. If your quality drops, your messages stop being delivered.

All in all, I think it's pretty fair.
Maybe, Iran has a lot of natural gas too, maybe they also want to control the area to prevent them from exporting gas? there is also a lot of uranium

The US gets all of his uranium mostly from that region of the world: https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/nuclear/where-our-uraniu...

The US also has a documented history for such thing, both in the middle east, asia, and in south america (eg: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_involvement_in_r...)

The timing is too perfect, maybe gas is not the motive, maybe it is to expand OTAN over there? who knows

Do you remember the failed coup in Turkey? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Turkish_coup_d%27%C3%A9ta...

If you are indeed in a war zone seeing friends and family die, my comment is completely off base and I apologize.

The therapists I know do certainly work with every day people struggling with (perhaps existential) anxiety/fear/depression. Where those concerns are negatively impacting someone's life, they are real and pressing concerns - if common.

These therapists also regularly work with clients that are dealing with the effects of being victims (or perpetrators) of various forms of physical, sexual, and physiological violence. Even in wealthy areas, people do terrible things - particularly to the weak and the young.

That job can be very intense.

Europe needs gas. Russia has gas. If EU citizens get cold enough and broke enough, they could entice their governments to give in and stop supporting Ukraine and get their gas turned back on. Idk about you, but if it came down to my grandmother freezing at home or a Ukrainian grandmother living in east Ukraine having to say she's now Russian, the Ukraine grandmother is going first.
He he. For a second, that's what I thought as well. But I want to believe the story is legit.
Yeah, if larger jurisdictions behaved as such the issues I described are easier to avoid. I don’t think the regulatory bodies have an attitude towards crypto that would enable that large scale attempt at control, but we can see how it’s possible.

When your protocol’s primary use case relies on denominating centralized currency, it makes these types of network attacks far, far more effective when the attacker controls that currency. People have completely forgotten about any use case of a non-excludable censorship resistant network that isn’t tokens, but I digress.
I also hate leetcode as a measure of "coding competence." I don't think they're "worthless" but totally depends on your job. I notice that if I'm rusty at leetcode, it takes about a week to get ramp back up... but we're talking 10x better.

I don't at all believe I magically got 10x better at coding though... just 10x better at recognizing and remembering patterns.

I think the best type of interview for everyone is the "walk me through X" type. You can almost always spot BS in those and if you can't... should you even be interviewing? I would 100% rather have someone that knows how to glue pieces together vs someone that is good at leetcode... don't get me wrong, I'm amazed at how awesome people are at it and I've met people who excel at both... but I feel its just too weighted in interviews.
We should get in touch. I built a language partner in Chinese about a week ago using GPT, continuous real-time speech recognition via webkit speech recognition, and Polly TTS so you don't even have to press any buttons, you can just have a fluid conversation the entire time.
Note, you also can't do this type of monotonic mapping with the integers mapped to the natural numbers. So its not like the rationals are a dividing point here.
It's a great title for catching your eye though! And for making you wonder if you're having a stroke.
Well, what you got is

1. runtime feature to limit memory use

2. a mechanism to configure it

What we just don't have yet is

3. standard way to read container memory limit

Once that comes to existence, the first two were gonna be needed anyway. And now you can experiment with #3 for the various container runtimes.
Say you do it... the company pays you $100/h (making up a number to do math) and $70 of that goes to the person who does the job while you keep $30 of it.

Guess how much gets reported to the IRS that you're making and how much taxes you'll owe on that $100/h.

Next there's the fraudulent representation of who is doing the work to the client.

Lastly, there's the "this is a form of money laundering" and you're taking a significant role.

When this starts to unravel, you're not going to come out ahead.

Sounds like an adult choice to me then

How can they be both un-accommodating and yet get rent payments, by definition they are being accommodated
In my experience pay is not a good proxy for the value an employee brings to a company or society.

I think society would be better with pay based on the job description for most jobs vs. the company or the individual employee.
For better or for worse (IMO mostly better), users care more about features than the tech that goes into making those features work
He goes to the Ford dealership and says he wants a truck. The salesman says, "How much are you looking to spend a month?" He says 800 dollars because that's the amount he has left over after his bills. He then owns an 800/month truck. Repeat every three years throughout life.

I think did an "Apple TV" to their car efforts.

Originally, Apple desired to make the Apple TV (hardware) the complete replacement for all your TV viewing needs. And for all the streaming services to just be dumb content pipes connected through a common / consistent Apple TV (app/software) UI.

Then Apple realized the Netflix's of the world are not going to give up the user experience, let alone the direct relationship with the user.

So Apple then pivots by making Apple TV just the platform for some other company to deliver their stream service through (like the Apple CarPlay).

They then refine their strategy to come around to realizing, they need to make their own content (the new Apple CarPlay HUD / instrumentation).
I think the fact that it's a zoom interview changes things.

Even if one of them is stalking the other, it's not like they're physically in the same conference room together. the worst they can really do is yell at each other.
Most effective cover letter I ever experimented with was a simple preamble expressing interest in the company and the particular position (2-3 sentences, just enough to demonstrate basic eloquence), followed by "In the sake of brevity, here's a T-chart matching my qualifications to your requirements:" where I put in a T-chart pairing most of the bullet points in the job posting with a description of the skills I had. Since most of the requirements were similar between multiple job postings, I had LaTeX shortcuts to reference a pre-made pile of qualification statements. Took me about 5 minutes to hammer out, and definitely improved my rate of receiving responses by about a factor of 2.
Theory: Highly technical people tend to be less socially capable, which leads to making newcomers feel less welcome.
What makes you so sure all of these actions don't have the opposite effect?

Let's say hypothetically Putin completely ceases in Ukraine and then loses the next Russian election. Now what? Do you think all of that economic damage inflicted upon the Russian people just vanishes?

Isn't it possible the Russian people elect someone even more radical than Putin and make the problem worse? History is full of examples of this.
> All it means is that Cantorian cardinality is a bad standard against which to judge the "size" of an infinite set.

But do you have something better? It’s not as if mathematicians immediately accepted this as the way forward. There was a long struggle accepting that lots of statements that are true about finite sets do not extend to infinite ones (examples: “adding an item to a set makes it larger”, “when summing a set of numbers, the result doesn’t depend on the order you do it”)

I think that you either have to accept this as the best way to treat infinite sets, or have to give up the notion of infinite sets, and that has its problems, too. For example, it would mean there’s a largest integer.

The aversion to getting one's hands dirty I've found is common in software engineering as well.

It just takes the form of nobody wanting to inherit someone else's project. Nobody wants maintenance tasks, everyone wants to do green-field development or if they must inherit some existing product they quickly conclude a rewrite from scratch is necessary.

I too have a scrappy hands-dirty DIY IRL history starting with childhood. When I entered the software industry after years of sysadminning, it became very clear my enthusiasm for facing existing complexities head-on was somewhat unique among my peers as well.

But I think this is a more general struggle everyone encounters in life; it's always more attractive to create new problems than solve existing ones. (I'm pretty sure that's a quote I've heard/read at some point, but its origin escapes me)

Some examples from other domains:

Relationships (my mate and I are arguing and I've been sleeping on the couch, my OkCupid profile just notified me; cheat)

Automobiles (my car needs tires, brakes, a paint job, and thorough cleaning, the car dealership down the road is having a sale; new car loan)

Living spaces and projects/hobbies (the closet is an unmitigated disaster area, I can't even open its door anymore, but the spare bedroom is empty and I need to start a new project rather than finish any of the dozen abandoned ones occupying said closet; new projects in spare room until it too overflows) This starts to look like hoarding, but it's really just backing down from solving existing problems in favor of making new ones.

The list goes on, I'm sure you can come up with a bunch of examples yourself.

Starting anew is an immediate gratification, anything else, not so much until you make forward progress which almost certainly will be a slog since the immediate gratification low hanging fruit phase was already burned by either past you or someone else altogether.

Personally I find it far more rewarding to resolve existing difficult problems, especially now that I have so much experience that whenever I start anew I'm fully aware that I'm likely making problems future me will have to deal with. Existing problems usually have a bunch of evidence to scrutinize and inform what you're doing to make meaningful progress. Real problem solving. Creating from scratch is problem making.

Honestly I suspect it comes down to a sort of anxiety about failure.
I’m kind of at a loss that these propositions would be taken at face value. Imagine for a moment that these “talented web developer groups” whom you are essentially representing with your name attached to them are bad foreign state actors in disguise. Imagine what would happen to you if some malicious piece of code made it on some website processing personal information, payments, or worse. It’s eye-opening and really terrifying people don’t even consider this possibility, in 2022.
Someone actually attempted to hire me to play a part in a scam like this over LinkedIn about a month ago. The guy who contacted me says their devs don't know web tech well and don't speak English very well, so he wanted me to do the interviews for them over phone calls and offered a modest rate for the service I'd provide.

I ended the conversation as soon as the plan was revealed, and was struck by just how brazen the dude was just blatantly asking me to lie for them professionally after exchanging like 2 messages.
Having worked on even medium sized projects in golang, I started to appreciate why Java requires that. The golang code base was a mess, struct declarations and their implementations littered all over the place, making it hard to follow what's going on. You then need and IDE, and hope that those structs do not accidentally implement some random interface because of structural typing.

I’m sure there is an API that I could use to add appointments, or I suppose could make an ical file and import it. I don’t quite have enough dentist appointments to make it worth while though. I did however spend an hour to make a spreadsheet. It only predicts my schedule for the next couple of weeks, but historically that’s been good enough for my colleagues.
If I am not mistaken, this happened to Iran a few years ago. Many websites do not include Iran in the drop down list of countries.

Over a decade of experience shouldn't have to prove competence via leetcode, honestly. I fully believe it helps you become a better programmer... but its over-hyped. Shouldn't expect interviewing/preparing to interview to be a part-time job. Too busy in the day to day for that...
JKLA is incredibly methodical and thorough. I imagine he included them for completeness.
Considering merely having an algorithm not recommend your channel is equated with censorship by many producers, I assume it stalls your growth and possibly even drops your views significantly with existing subscribers.
I've only test driven a few cars equipped with HUDs, but it's a super cool feature. I can see the value of a car that projects nav directions in addition to the more standard things like current speed. There's even phone apps you can use to simulate a HUD, if you keep your windshield clean.

Pretty bold of you to declare "Disinformation" without at the very least citing your claims that:

I've liked the Pinecil except sometimes mine crashes in the middle of me soldering. I need to update the OS but I'm lazy. It does fail cold (Says it's hot but it's not heating) which is probably the better of the two ways it could go.
He says it wasn't likely because most systems were analogically controlled. Emphasis in most.
I think the two main takes are:

1. a tiny bit of horsepower/fuel efficiency and no maintenance -- win

2. It might work by increasing the size of things allowed through, which maybe matters to your engine life? -- loss.

Wouldn't it work if there was a cypto stake based (to restrict co2 impact) token priced at a fraction of a penny that users could pay with each time they spun a record licensed by anyone. No more backroom deals to beg a label to let you remix their catalog, you just do it and if it's a hit they make tons of money.

That might not exactly be it but I think a technical payment/usage standard open to all is directionally the right way to let the new artists play/create.

Yes, but as a counter point they are grossly overvalued. If you can get the same gross overvaluation, which Apple probably can, then why not do it? Especially if you can goose the stock price long enough to hit your bonus metrics and cash out.
