Filler bite has developed a unique system of supplements that target certain areas of your life through delicious Swiss made chocolate. Filler bite addresses a fundamental and widespread health problem - lack of sleep, energy and focus. This problem has a far-reaching impact on individuals, society and the economy. Filler bite offer a unique solution that helps people achieve their potential by improving their sleep, energy and focus. Filler bite is rooted in my own personal struggles with the aftermath of sexual assault. A couple of years ago, I experienced sexual assault, resulting in a long battle of anxiety and depression, feeling like a captive in my own home. While receiving help from mental health professionals, I discovered nootropics. After finding the right ingredients to sustain my mental health, I felt the need to share my story of recovery with others going through the same struggles.

Sites like MentorCruise exist that offer paid mentoring with experienced people, including executives and startup founders. I'm not sure what a "relevant price point" is for you but they are often relatively affordable on a software engineer salary.

Full disclosure: I'm a startup founder with a profile on that site but there are other similar services out there I believe.

I had my bootstrapped startup for 18+ months, which was not doing well, it was almost like being unemployed; last 6 months I was desperately applying for jobs without getting any traction.

What helped me at that time was Yoga (deep breathing exercises which is part of that was particularly helpful). Yoga used to keep me fresh and 'alive' during the day, so that I could continue looking for jobs without losing steam over period of time.

In the hindsight that single ritual (~4 days a week of morning Yoga), kept me going and now I'm at a good place, managed to recover not only from professional setback but also managed to recover from almost financial wipe-out during that 18-month period.

Is it that you feel that the posters are doing the trivializing, or society as a whole?

My impression is that nobody treats these layoffs as trivial. Recessions, downturns and the resulting employment uncertainty are cause for anxiety everywhere.
"We have normalised firing of people."

We spent decades in the US smashing unions, smashing pensions (replacing them with more volatile instruments like 401Ks) and made at-will employment dangerous for both sides of the equation.

Firing has been trivialized for decades. This is not new, and the current wave is minuscule compared to 2008, 2000, and previous. The worst is yet to come.

Your question made me wonder as to the history of employment-based income and the practice of hiring and firing.

An ngram for that phrase itself shows a sharp initial onset in the 1910s:

<https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=hiring+and+fir...>

My understanding is that this was strongly tied to mass production (Fordism, after Henry Ford), which wasn't just factories but also in significant manner railroads (more below), construction projects (structures, civil engineering projects, shipbuilding), and with time, office work.

The contrast was with prior regimes of serf or feudal labour, as well as independent farmers, small crafts, artisans, shopkeepers, and professionals, many of whom were in large part independent and often family-oriented businesses. Much of that is now highly consolidated, wage-based employment.

I was on your position last winter. After 3 months of rejections there was a company that after some interviews it looked like I was going to get not only a job but a really good one.
They told me that I need more experience, and that they were not sure about me on the role position.
That was devastating for me. I was having the same thoughts as you do.

I agree, it's quite ridiculous to call that performant when considering the reality of what's possible. But compared to other electron apps, it's way better, and the team has done a good job with the bad tools given. I suppose the bar isn't very high when it comes to performance, but it's a nice positive signal that it's used as a marketing point like that. Although you do point out that the expectations are often like from two different worlds, which is true. I guess it leaves room for competent competitors.

Where this hair gets particularly thin is when you start with an app that uses fixed memory and then you end up in a situation where it works out that running many copies of the code is a solution to a (scalability) problem. Then pre-allocation becomes a problem because you've just locked up a hefty chunk of memory.

And that can be a self fulfilling prophecy. One of the problems with memory pools is concurrent access, both by your programming language and the processor, and so it starts looking attractive to spool up a process per task.

> Under current legislation, across Europe fuel used for aviation is largely tax-exempt, with a small exemption for low-altitude recreational aircrafts. This has long allowed air freight companies, commercial airlines and private jet operators to operate with a free pass regarding taxation.

Which implies, in Europe at least, there is no tax on jet fuel currently.
Make a private repo. I wouldn't blame a corp if they tried to scan every public github repo for their API keys, let alone an employee's public account.

I have been working at startup ISPs for the past several years. Your intuition is correct.

Nobody uses 1Gbps. Nobody. Not download, not upload.

I did work for an ISP that served a lot of video editing shops, and I could see them potentially using >1Gbps at night, when they upload all their video to the cloud. They are one of the few customers that I have seen saturate 1Gbps.

Most people don't realize: your bandwidth is fine. Your latency is bad. Latency has so much to do with the internet experience.

You can have 20-50Mbps in a household with two parents and two kids, and your internet experience will be great if your latency is great.

There are three factors that determine the quality of your internet experience: 1) bandwidth, 2) latency, 3) packet loss. In practice, #3 is not usually an issue. But every ISP only advertises #1.

When you get introduced to fiber, the biggest upgrade you get is in latency.

So you are completely correct: you will never use 5Gbps. You won't even use 1Gbps. But the upgrade to fiber will probably make your internet experience feel a lot faster, due to lower latency.

This was a fantastic walk-through of the making of intro, including great descriptions of some Amiga tech and features, plus: quite the cute little intro!

Reminded me a lot of some of the quick-shot productions me and my friends used to do back then! It was very satisfying to do these little single-screen things, sometimes in a single day/night, that were perhaps (eh) less about showing off massive technical chops (never my forte, especially not back as a teenager) and more about mood, sometimes humor, or simply just ... saying something. Then when the thing was done, you got to start spreading it by (of course) using your modem and uploading it to some choice bulletin board systems.

Amazing that Datagubbe (which by the way is translated by the author [1] as "old computer fogey" although I feel the Swedish word "gubbe" is really hard to translate well) wrote this in AMOS by the way, I used that a lot but mostly for tooling and general playing around, never for any released productions, they were always in assembly.

Relevant code (from https://gitlab.com/swisspost-evoting/crypto-primitives/crypt...):

𝑠𝑝 ← 8530092
▷ I.e. 0b100000100010100010101100: for all primes 𝑝 ≤ 23,
TestBit(𝑠𝑝, 𝑝) = true
if 𝑛 ≤ 23 then
▷ Quick check for small values, simpler and faster
than testing equality on each option
return TestBit(𝑠𝑝, 𝑛)
end if
if ¬TestBit(𝑛, 0) then return ⊥
▷ I.e. 𝑛 is even and, as per line 2, 𝑛 > 2 thus composite
end if

And it indeed is a bug. The function guarantees to return false “if the number can be determined to be composite” and true for all primes, so it should err in only one way.

I would further improve the code by having it shortcut for all primes smaller than 31 (adding 29 and 31) or 63.

Reducing headcount _should_ be normalised. Here in Germany companies are almost forced to not lay off people.

IMO this creates bad dynamics and makes people dependant on companies. If switching company would be easier, workers could demand higher wages etc.
Then you went to a bad public school.
I am seeing multiple references here to 30 second long page loads.

What is causing your JIRA projects to take that long? Too many custom fields? Large numbers of issues? Too many plugins? Really curious because most of our issues are sub-second.
As a silver lining, because we’ve normalized firing, we’ve also normalized jumping ship frequently.

Get hikes and save up during good times, skill dev/change course during the recessions.

But tbh it’d be better if things didn’t swing so much.
Definitely use this time to study, create a new roadmap with new goals. For me, keeping routine is essential so you don't fall in a deeper emotional pit. Get up daily, set goals, do some open source projects if you got nothing else. If you want to pursue math or another career path, now is a good of a time as any. Keep applying for jobs but don't let it consume all your time, pick up side hustles to assist with debt/cash flow. Set aside a few hours a day for each pursuit, divide it up. Keep exercising and eating clean, don't doomscroll if you're feeling down.

Firing easily and hiring easily are two sides of the same coin. If you can be fired easily, you will find a job easily. If companies can go down quickly, new companies can be formed in an instant.

In Europe where firing is almost impossible, hiring is a very tedious process. Companies are big and look financially stable because the little ones cannot survive or dont enjoy the same monopoly / legal protections.

If a company is not useful to society, it should go down. If you're not a good fit with the company, you should find your own way or a better company.

Good luck, don't give up, you can get out of the hole.

For me, a long-time CoffeeScript user, this is exciting; alas, I'm not going to use it for two reasons:

* as much as I want to have gradual typing, TypeScript isn't it for a number of reasons, the principal one being that I want to have a type system that is good for both compile time and run time; in case I can have only one of the two, I opt for run time checks. This of course, is not the fault of this project. Another factor with TypeScript is the fact that some folks have described it as too much of a pain to work with (while others seem to enjoy it). At any rate, I'd then have two transpilers stacked on top of each other and, frankly, working with a single transpiler and sourcemaps is already enough of a hassle.

* Civet is littered with small incompatibilities to CoffeeScript. Going through that extensive list of what is different, I cannot imagine myself to put in the substantive amount of work needed to migrate, even with the compatibility options turned on. So maybe, another day, I'll give it a spin, but beyond that I'm afraid I'm sorry...
I worked for a big startup last year and was on a contract deadline for integrating a vendor framework into a React Native app.

It was taking too long to get a new temp demo license key and GitHub search with clever filters helped me track down a demo key that was recently uploaded to a test repo.

This is also why I use git-secrets in my repos.

Trivializing makes it less of a scarlet letter if you do get laid off or fired. Probably a net benefit for most people in the long run not to risk the business cycle affecting their future employability.
> I am already thinking about "taking the easy way out".

Please, please don't do anything rash. Even a cursory review of your background shows me a person who has an immense amount to offer any employer. More importantly your worth as a human being is not defined by your employer. You will find employment, it is just a matter of time. Don't worry about the state of the world, just focus on yourself. Absolutely do something useful that gives you joy. you will be surprised at how interesting others find what you are doing.

And you have my deep respect for the sacrifice you are making for your children. We need more people like you.

I have been in Europe for a few years now and my experiance is significantly opposite of what the parent comment claims.
This is not consistent with my experience in Germany at all. Companies everywhere are looking for educated people. The demand for people with programming skills borders on desperation! Do you have a degree and a pulse? Do you show up for work on time, communicate clearly and keep your promises? Somebody will gladly hire you! You just have to keep at it.

One thing the OP might try is to manage their expectations. My fear is that tech has been so hot for so long that people have forgotten what the normal world feels like.

That world is not horrible. There are many levels between the entry-level and top-paid positions. And there are thousands of companies outside the tech bubble with opportunities suitable for a programmer or developer. I believe that the best opportunities are in the intersection between programming and some other field.

(You are right that they will probably not be found on HN.)
