Wrote in Who wants to be hired recently. Got two emails from actual companies and one from a questionable recruiter with no concretes. One of those companies sent me a Triplebyte timed algo question without any real human contact whatsoever so I just didn't do it. Other one had a take home assignment with a fairly easy Leetcode wrapped in an API kind of task. Did that, never received any feedback besides 'thanks but no', no invite for actual technical interview. Had much better experience with companies I found through LinkedIn to be honest. Feels like people here feel elitist to a point where a decent engineer is nothing, without FAANG experience.
You don't sign a purchase agreement with absolutely zero wiggle room to negotiate (and agree to the sellers additional seller-friendly terms along the way) in order to lower the price. You negotiate before you sign the agreement.

This is like going into a Honda dealership, signing a bill of sale at 20% over MSRP for a Civic without looking at it, then arguing you should get a discount because the floor mats are ugly.

He fucked around, and he found out.

There's a reason everyone incorporates in Delaware. They don't have time for shenanigans.
Yeah i was wondering how soon will i be accused of racism, or something similar. I suppose supremacism is near enough.

I am glad india and china are leading the way in reforestation. The same kind of good progress should be made in cleaning up all the harm done from industrial pollution and garbage.

Oh and please spare me the “financial scam” thing. We are drowning in taxes to keep our “supremacist” stuff clean, it doesnt come out of the blue. We get fined, taxed and educated in all ways possible. Please pressure your representatives in any way you can, or communist party leaders if possible, instead of deflecting blame and throwing around conspiracy theories. We only have on planet.
“We then compare the resulting embeddings using cosine similarity. When we begin the training process, the similarity will be low, even if the text describes the image correctly.”

There's the magsafe wireless charging now though right so you could slap that on and hold the phone maybe? I don't have an iPhone so I'm not aware how thick those pucks are off the top of my head but seems doable.

Those other two use cases of music creation and thumb drives are a tiny market on iPhone I could see Apple abandoning them entirely.
In theory Java is not so bad. I just have never enjoyed working with it or with the code Java developers end up creating. Kotlin is reasonably pleasant. I've sometimes used it when the JVM was a hard requirement.
>You seem to be missing the fact that we have a society here and it demands concessions and compromises to be part of one.

No reason that society has to demand this concession. Society will not crumble if Apple has unique connectors. Apple isn't hurting anyone.

I prefer live and let live, over trying to squeeze ever concession I can out of people.
You're welcome to introduce your kids to all kinds of things, but more people end up in prison than with record contracts.
This is not true, for example a lot of the work to enable concurrent emulation of multiple CPUs started on the virtualization side. It is also mentioned in the article that both emulation and virtualization benefited from the innovation.
This laptop is certainly not a daily driver, and certainly not something you'd buy if you're concerned about lifespan, durability, or support. It's a mobile demonstration that the burgeoning community of risc-v developers can bring along with them to conferences and boardroom tables. It's (relatively) expensive and is functionally a reference board with a battery and screen attached.

The price, OEM, and support story is a non-issue for the intended market.
I’m very happy with it, no regrets. It has flaws, but nothing that prevents me from enjoying working with it on a daily basis.

I have no issue with the resolution of the screen myself - it is a 14” screen, which is great for portability (more usable in a car/train/bus ride, less obtrusive in a coffee shop, etc) and 1080p is about right for that size.

My only major issue is with the viewing angles of the screen. They aren’t great, and a MacBook Pro puts it to shame. That said, it’s nothing I notice when working in front of it normally.

For reference, my priorities when buying it were to have a good out of the box experience on Linux, a keyboard that was compact but with home and end keys, a “clickable” track pad similar to the MacBook’s, and finally to support a solid effort to bring a proper Linux laptop (with a proper super key instead of a Windows key) to market, and on all fronts I’m very happy with the Dev One.

My prior experience with a couple of Dells (including their XPS 13 Developer Edition with Ubuntu) were not nearly as nice (especially on the keyboard and trackpad fronts).

That said, others in the thread have other recommendations, so I will only offer one other anecdote in my recent Linux laptop trials - I have been WAY happier with AMD-based PCs than with Intel. Several distros (including Debian based and Arch based) required constant tinkering with Intel drivers and settings to combat weird stutters, while the AMD Dev One as well as a recent Beelink mini PC I picked up, have each run everything Linux without issue.

The MacBook Pro is still my gold standard in terms of hardware quality, but the Dev One is still very comfortable to work on daily.

Seems pretty clear cut.
Alternatively, you can pass the things you would have captured instead as arguments to the lambda (by value!) and they are valid for the duration of the coroutine. So you can do a lambda returning a coroutine lambda like

task<Foo> t = [foo]() {
return [](auto f) -> task<Foo> {
co_await something();
co_return f;
}(foo);
}();

Stating that Thread is a rebranding of Zigbee is incorrect. Both are based on 802.15.4 for their physical layer but the two are entirely separate and managed by different standards bodies (Zigbee under the Zigbee Alliance, now CSA - Thread under the Thread Group). Where some confusion may come is that Matter is now also under the CSA (just like Zigbee).
I would have never recognized this syntax as modern day C++ without being told. The language has evolved so much in the last 30+ years that I don't know how anyone is able to keep up unless they've been doing it for decades. As a junior dev, C++ scares the hell out of me - I'd rather wrestle with C, footguns and all, than wrestle with the foot-semiautomatic-rifles C++ provides.
Who will grow up to routinely do calculus mentally or on pencil and paper? I guess some people will be calculus instructors. Are there any other examples?

The best part about this is we finally have some kind of broad certification. Amazon has a similar process, but it is currently in its infancy. The process may not be perfect, but it is now in place, which means it can be augmented. I hope this means the free-for-all of insecure IoT devices starts to diminish.
In short, what do developers over 40 do to stay in tech?

In short --- start your own company.

The excuses you've been given are all BS. What they are really looking for is someone who will work twice as many hours as you for half your pay.

Sorry to be so blunt but you should have started preparing for this day a long time ago --- like the day you walked into your job, looked around and noticed that those over 40 were a small minority.

Where did all the old techies go? HINT: They didn't all die.

Agree.

And ... this is exactly what the ecosphere needs right now.

People continuing to consume all the usual necessities as they always have and always will. And consuming less of all the extra wasteful unnecessary stuff that gets pumped out of factories because of a destructive culture of "increasing GDP is good".

When are you ever going to have to explain a sonnet or tell someone the the date of the battle of Gettysburg or dissect a frog or know what a precipitate is or… basically any specific thing you learn in school?

It’s not that you have to do each thing every day, it’s that they give you a broad understanding of the context of what humans know about the world and how it works so you can understand it. Calculus is part of that too.

What would school look like if we only taught things that are used every day? I guess kids would learn how to drive a car and put on pants and sit in a chair and read emails and that’s about it.

You know how TV shows with long-running story arcs will have "Previously on..." before an episode to catch people up with what's happening? School should be a 12 year long "Previously on..." the whole of human history so people can go into the world knowing what's happening and how we got to where we are.
Here's just a few examples from my experience:

1. Huge number of messages from test system were accidentally inserted into production.

Queue solution: disable consumers, move messages to a temporary queue while filtering them, move messages back to the old queue, enable consumers

DB solution: just delete rogue messages

2. We want to store some of the messages, but we're not ready to process them yet

Queue solution: create a separate queue for each message type, insert messages to different queues, manually move them when you're ready to process them (and keep in mind that not every queue can persist messages forever, SQS for example can't hold messages longer than 14 days)

DB solution: just skip those messages while processing

3. Consumers went down and the queue now contains a big number of duplicate messages. While it was fine to just wait a couple hours to let it stabilize, a whale customer started complaining

Queue solution: none (any hacky solution would take longer than it takes for the system to naturally stabilize)

DB solution: move whale customer messages to the front of the queue
I agree it's a great use of location data, but why not use a completely client-side solution? Personally I use the Arc app[0] to record my location history. I did notice decreased battery life but I still have enough battery for a full day.

> An “insider” is an officer, director, 10% stockholder and anyone who possesses inside information because of his or her relationship with the Company or with an officer, director or principal stockholder of the Company. Rule 10b-5’s application goes considerably beyond just officers, directors and principal stockholders. [1]

> This rule also covers any employee who has obtained material non-public corporate information, as well as any person who has received a “tip” from an Insider of the Company concerning information about the Company that is material and nonpublic, and trades (i.e. purchase or sells) the Company’s stock or other securities" [1]

The formal Insider Trading Policy applies to any person who has the information, for the purposes of this law Insider ( as defined in the first part) is materially same.

While you are half right that they are not "Insider" the law does not differentiate any person who got the information from the "Insider", so they are still a insider from the SEC regulations PoV and law applies to them if they trade on material non-public information obtained from a "tip".

Yeah, it doesn't have to involve banning people for life on borderline cases of cheating, but if you are caught red-handed, a lifetime ban seems in order.
I would rather analyze deep finance than listen to music. I just don’t enjoy music, at all.

Spreadsheets and algorithms on the other hand I find highly entertaining. I love many board games for this same reason: it’s an opportunity to build novel algorithms in strange domains to achieve a specific purpose.

And most can see that boardgames are more similar to “productive things” you find disdainful than music.
Those nukes went off sequentially, not all at once. Of course spreading effects across many years would lead small effects that could be mostly ignored.
> we use tensor because it allows for any number of dimensions

"Vector" implies one dimension and "matrix" strongly implies two. But an array can have any number of dimensions, so "array" is the best word.

We don't need the word "tensor"; when the context is programming, "tensor" is only confusing and doesn't really add any useful meaning.
Great take here, I doubt you can get banks to finance this in the current climate.
Seems like another US-centric problem.

Discrimination does happen in the UK, but I don't think there's the same motivation from the Police to arrest people for trivial matters during this sort of campaign.
You're totally right, some of the articles I looked at focused on tangential causes... whereas analysis of moves compared to decisions by a vastly superior system has got to be the smoking gun.

I suppose new algorithms will be designed or trained to account for the user's performance history.

Now that the easy stuff is out of the way, what do you think about people on the registry for violent sexual assault?
I'm on the same boat. I even posted a similar Ask-HN a couple of months ago.

My understanding is I don't know what I want to do. I drift by and try to grab at whatever that keeps me floating for a while, and then drift away when it is no longer interesting.

I kinda gave up fixing this and believe it has a lot to do with gene or luck. Some people (think Carmack) just know what they want to do for LIFE so they start early, have laser focus amd achieve great things. They are born to do great things.

I gave up. I will never achieve a fraction of whatever they do even in spare time. Fuck it, I gave up. And I'm 40 so there is even barely enough energy to keep daily chores float.
> he'll become a persona non grata in many of his circles if he doesn't stop the court procedures immediately

When you are the richest or one of the top 5 richest people in the world, you are always at the center of circle and people flock (or bend) to you. I suspect this was more about him and how he looked than concern for those folks texting him.
I don't see your point? I didn't say that capitalism leads to conflict, merely that not pursuing economic growth should lead to being overwhelmed by those that do.

I talked to a guy who was on a sex offender registry for "urination in public" at a bar one time. Sounded like a travisty of justice when he explained it that way. Talked to someone else about him afterwards and while yes he was "just peeing in public" he did so in the view of a few young girls who walked past his house on their way to school on multiple occasions and with a erection.

Knew another guy who did a few years in prison for "just a bag of weed", again that was true in a technical sense, he was on parole for a strong arm robbery and had the bag in plain view when he got pulled over.

I'm not saying nobody is ever innocent, but everyone I talk to claims to be and it never holds up.

> You don’t offer any evidence that it’s not subjective.

Let me break it down for you, case-by-case:

> Apple has the opportunity to standardize all of their devices under one serial/power connector

This is objectively true. Apple helped design the USB-C standard to replace the ports on their own devices, and demonstrated this intent on the Macbook and later, the iPad.

> they have neglected to do this for over a decade

This is also true. While USB-C isn't a decade old, USB 3.0 is, and Apple has refused to update Lightning cables to reflect the newer standards in serial transfer technology.

> it overtly effects the user experience.

This is, undeniably and objectively, true. USB 2.0 is extremely slow - to the point that most users resort to slow wireless transfers to avoid an even slower wired one. Apple can fix this. They don't even need to get rid of USB-C to do this, but by switching to USB-C they will no longer have a choice. They had their opportunity to play fair, now they have to play by the rules instead. I'm closing the case because the EU has done so as well. Apple is negligent here, regardless of how Apple, their customers or other bystanders feel.
This is… not how your negotiate on price. What you call his “bid” was in fact his binding definitive agreement to acquire the company at an agreed upon price.

Yeah, plenty of deals get re-traded between signing and closing and purchase prices get re-cut, but the extreme bad faith by Musk after he signed the merger agreement made it functionally impossible for twitter’s board to do anything except hold him to the deal he made.

Because it takes a lot of time and money to set up an in-person tournament. A virtual one is basically free and will get a lot more participation from top players.
The commitment for financing had already been made by banks and could not be rescinded simply because they suddenly don't like Musk anymore.

Throughout this whole saga it has been popularly believed that (1) the breakup fee represents an option for Musk to get out of the deal and that (2) the financing contingency is easy to get out of by having the banks cancel their commitments.

Both have been untrue the entire time. If they were true, then Musk would not be proceeding with the deal at the original price.

> The Chancery Court is interested first and foremost with keeping commerce running smoothly

At a very high level, that's true. But at a slightly less high level they do this by guaranteeing predictability over fairness. And at a low level they do that through a lot of very specific implementation details people spend their lives studying.

So the level of abstraction you're operating at isn't very useful for this kind of prediction.
