I'm not sure I'd even interview this person; I'd at least have to find reasons to. It definitely doesn't give me anything to ask about. Quotes like "Save a lot of time by automating an email process" are so vague and ambiguous that the bullet point may as well be omitted.

Education on the top is a waste of most anybody's time, let it be on the top only if you have no work experience (and if that's the case, yikes).

I don't care about language/skillset checklists, because that's not what I hire for. Especially with no indication of relative strength or accomplishments with them - if I need a specific skill I'll happily scroll to see if it's there or not, but I want to see an actual story about this person's career and interests, not a set of "fill in the blank" stuff that every graduate has:

* woo high school and a college degree great, that's not something we're going to talk about

* version control, editors, etc are table stakes

Why is all of the experience effectively unscanable (by eye)? Prose-first, no easy way to separate by date, by project, or position held?

A resume doesn't have to be a thesis in print design, but I think you'd do well to consider the feedback you're receiving in this thread and that you alluded to receiving before - this resume isn't advertising anything to me and it's work for me to construct a coherent story about why this candidate is a strong fit for hiring.

I love this. I wish more software was built with limited scope. Not every application needs to grow larger and change forever.

Lots of focus on the DAO mention in the post, but it looking at the concrete things in the blog post instead of some "experiment", there are direct funding models of selling hosting, support services, training and more. The DAO is likely just a way to make the governance of the community more transparent, but I think people are confusing it with creating a crypto coin.
I get these 0.5s and 0.7s drops as well (maybe 10-20 per hour), in Texas. To be honest, I don't even notice the sub-second drops.
I thought typescript ate dart's lunch. There was a time a typed JS alone was enough. But like most things G it felt like it evolved in isolation from what the rest of the web dev world was expecting (remember GWT?). Dart to me felt like it could have been a framework instead of a (yet another) language. As a language enthusiast I really struggled to get what Dart brought to the table.
Yes, all starlink user terminals are phased arrays.
When flying, I will avoid using an online travel agency (OTA) as well if I can .

I booking with Gotogate.com, but the flight was canceled. Then when trying to get a refund Gotogate systematically try to stall time as much as possible. You have to call support, and are answered by people with very thick Indian accent which is impossible to understand.

Luckily I had paid with Paypal, so I could request a refund through there.

Unfortunately, when booking flights that needs connections, you have to use an OTA. If one flight is cancelled, the others should be too, which an OTA fixes.
Actually, it's not... since you can use it on async and non async functions alike, which is what GP says. PLs with colored functions can't do the same thing at all, moreover the virality of @asynccall terminates at the point where you use it; if it were colored, the context of @asynccall would have to be async, and its parent and grandparent, etc.
No Safe Efficient Ways to Do Three-Way String Comparisons in Go
It does mention DAO, which is crypto adjacent, however like you said the purpose listed in the post is to provide paid support services, the DAO is for governance of the community, not to shill some scam crypto coin.
I feel like standardized tests are way more fair than GPA.

I personally struggled a lot in school due to health and other issues. I also hated doing homework which is BS work, and I always had high scores on my midterms and finals which I think matter way more.

Why does busywork play such a big role? It should be exempted. If I can get a 95+ on midterm and final I obviously understand the material. Why did I need to spend hours of my day doing BS exercises when I already understood the material? Nonsense.

So I get a B at best overall because I get a F on homework? What a joke. I really think school is a waste of time when it’s done that way. Learn stuff, move on. I wish that when I have kids I can afford to send them somewhere they can actually grow and thrive, not just sit down and do a bunch of homework problems.

No. It's a massive corp. MS is not a singular entity. GitHub does not describe MS the same as Minecraft doesn't describe Azure. Sometimes they get it right because of the particular leadership at that company.
No, it has always used vendored crates. Well, technically, it wasn't using vendored crates until https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1298422 , but before that, there were only a limited number of crates in use, and their only dependencies were local, so practically, that's the same thing.
No, you can't. You can only possibly be completely certain that the student is not good at calculus tests.
SEO has been around since the birth of Google, which nevertheless provided stellar results for years.

If SEO didn't exist, it would have to be invented for air cover.
My experience has been that great workplaces sometimes have Whitt luck with recruiters, so you’ll end up judging a book by its cover. But one only has time to make so many applications, and you gotta filter them somehow, so why not by recruiter skill?
Oh for sure, it just feels like something that'd have been more common in that era. While you technically could, I doubt any Linux distros out there patch the kernel's VFS in some incompatible way like this, or (more relevant) any of the BSD "distros" based on the big three.

Makes me think of all the arcane gibberish that GNU Autotools checks for, so many minor variants in system headers and APIs...

Worldwide? Definitely. Enough that also have the resources to pay? Not 100% sure, but I would imagine so. I think I read 500,000 Australians alone live in places with very little internet connection, or are currently served with Geo-Sync internet heavily subsidized by our government.
I'm seeing this comment as a result of this Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/programmingcirclejerk/comments/ydiu...

But overall I agree with you. While I don't have the results to back it up, I do believe that ultimately Leetcode isn't that useful outside of recruiting people straight out of college. Otherwise, I think there are more domain specific methods to assess candidate fitness to a role.

Also, my giving my unsolicited opinion, I do agree with one of the Reddit posters saying that you are currently on your way to burnout. While I can sympathize with you being super interested in learning programming all the time (because it is very interesting!) be sure to not ignore your other needs, and also to take a mandatory break at least one day a week. Speaking from experience, if you don't do this you will burn out and you will have to pick up the pieces.
They have to be due to how rapidly the sats move in and out of view.
I once saw a video of a highly aerodynamic solar car. Due to the high laminar flow of the air around it bugs would just go around the car. Perhaps this also causes modern cars to splatter less bugs.
These best price guarantees are all garbage, though.

They'll say that the room type offered on the OTA is different than the room type booked direct - even if it's the same room.

I stayed at the Kimpton Epic Miami. Paid almost $150/nt less through Priceline. Tried to use IHG's Best Price Guarantee and they said it's a different class of room.

$465/nt through IHG - https://i.imgur.com/nTdZTnM.png

There's a lot of misinformation in this thread.
I had issues with the accommodation after booking, but hotels.com always fixed it and so far to my benefit (getting better rooms or hotels than I paid for to compensate me).
If they didn't mean blockchain they could have not used a phrase that is very strongly associated with it, and instead used any number of other terms in colloquial use that match the properties of the organization they're setting up.
The Wikipedia article on it says they accidentally used the pounds/litre conversion factor instead of the kilograms/litre one.
I’d push back on that, we could use this to invent a new cognitive architecture approach to AGI (route perception directly to memory state and use that as the world model) and see if it improves RL performance. In fact I think the world models paper did this. You could conceivably have a generative / predictive world model, instead of a perceptual / remembered one. I think Karl Friston is more in the former, predictive camp, which implies your consciousness isn’t a memory, but rather a prediction (Metaverse in your head, so to speak) so it’ll be interesting to see how AGI eventually pops up, will they consciously experience their perceptions, or their predictions? Perhaps perception and prediction are two sides of the same coin and we just need to figure out what material the coin is made of.

Also for neuro, maybe it means Alzheimer’s would show up on perception tests before it shows up on memory tests, if memory is implemented by perception. And since we mostly look at “memory centers” of the brain in that disease, perhaps we could find issues in perceptual areas, too. Maybe we look at the hippocampus when we ought to look at V1, olfactory region, sensory gyrus, etc — if Alzheimer’s follows the clogged sink metaphor, then the clog could be in a different brain region entirely.

Personally I don’t like to think about it that way because that implies consciousness has “lag!” However, we’d have to evolve perception before we could evolve to remember that which is perceived.

One big problem with this article is the fact our vision etc has a lot of holes. If we consciously experience a mere memory, then there’s a whole lot of in-painting going on in the perceptual system to fill those holes, which makes it quasi-generative, and thus less of a memory and more of a prediction of stuff we didn’t actually see. Which means memory and prediction and perception are all the same. That’s a can of worms because it means when we experience a moment, we’re actually predicting the past…
> Rather than perceiving the world in real time, we’re actually experiencing a memory of that perception.

I’ve had a similar theory. I say that we perceive the world (or time) as if looking behind through the rear window of a forward moving car. We can only see past events.
I just checked, our Holiday Inn here is 0.10€ per night cheaper on Expedia. That wouldn’t even trigger their best price guarantee (1% saving needed). But yeah, that is not worth it, I haven’t actually booked a hotel in a few years, so I guess things changed for the better.

edit: Of course, Expedia doesn’t even have Motel One which is a nice 50€ cheaper than the Holiday Inn, and that’s for their 2nd cheapest room.

edit2: Okay, actually this is pretty confusing. Apparently, Motel One website and Expedia have 2 completely separate contingents of available rooms. Some days I can get the cheapest room at Expedia with no rooms free at the M1 website, some days they don’t have any rooms while the medium room is available directly.
I’ve experienced these pauses as well but they’ve only been problematic on real time video calls in practice. I wouldn’t trade my fiber for full time Starlink but I would definitely choose it over any Comcast offering (for personal use)
Horizon to horizon in all directions?
I am a gold member with them, meaning I stay more than 30 nights a year. They definitely have tiered customer service. At the regular level, it’s meh. At gold, I left a complaint with a virtual agent about the app not working well with VPNs, and a person called me back the next day.

The crazy thing is that I hit gold level staying at $30/night places in SE Asia.
In 2010 the Coalition government came to power and started harshly cutting back welfare programs. This is thought to be the cause of the massive increase in foodbank usage. For all the bad that the financial crisis did, removing the social safety net was worse.

There are good ones and bad ones; gotogate so far is awful; I avoid them like the plague. Direct with the airline is better anyway.
> I think it’s because they reserve a block for online sales.

This is it, but generally only during high occupancy/peak periods.
> Test scores are accurate at predicting your ability to succeed at further testing

Very well put. The whole question of "do test scores predict college graduation" is easily conflated with "do test scores predict success/ability". In reality, college is a big set of tests. It would be interesting to compare with other metrics.
Just so long as it's not all the same people.

Certainly not all garbage, though IHG (and Hilton) are two of the worst. Marriott[1] and Hyatt[2] seem to be much more dependable, per literally thousands of posts on their Flyertalk threads.

BUT, the practical consequence is that seeing drastically cheaper rates on OTAs than direct booking is much rarer than it used to be.

Radioactive traces in tree rings reveal Earth’s history of ‘radiation storms’
It is probably different in the US? I can see why starting a company would be hard. But if you had ideas no reason you can’t do stealth stuff, like gain skills, do courses, market research. But when cutting code etc. sound like you would need to be free of the job.
Wait until you get the strange billing from ComCast first.

My mom had it in Florida and I found she had all sorts of extra charges for items and services she never had. There is a reason ComCast has a bad rep.
Sure, but automation wasn't so much the problem here - this was mostly a human factors/human-machine interaction problem. Quite a few people died due to similar problems over the history of aviation - here, they just needed to have the levers a bit more visible, and/or having it click into the closed position (a little notch and a spring on the lever) and it would make it very difficult to make the same error. Other times it was putting important levers too close to each other, having one warning bell that sounds too much like a different one, etc. Like much of aviation, a lot of these lessons were learnt through a lot of accidents and fatalities.
The answer provided to the hard question doesn't answer the hard question. There is no reason we're aware of that a ton of computations should lead to a subjective experience, it's akin to people saying flies spontaneously generate around decaying food because they do. At the time it was plausible, but insisting it's the answer to the question is human arrogance

Most real world work is grinding through boring work as well, and it’s worthwhile to build the discipline for it.
Am I missing something? This “hack” requires you to go to his site first, then use the back button and then click on a (fake) competitor link. How is he ever going to get people to his site in the first place? And if it’s through paid ads, why not create a fake paid ad that directs you straight to his fake site in the first place? All sounds very much like a marketer who uses the veil of “security researcher” to hide a scam.
Anecdotal, but I’m FAANG and in the process of switching, leveling up and getting paid a lot more elsewhere.

There was a counteroffer when I told my present company about the new offer but it was too little too late.

It’s well known among my peers that to level up or get paid more, you go elsewhere and maybe even boomerang back later.
The Linux kernel actually has something like that: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/kbuild/modules.html#m....

Of course there is. You can generate studies that show roughly anything.

It may not be the majority, but if the research is all done in-house by various firms, there's no way for anyone to know that.

It sounds like you are saying that good parenting shouldn't have any effect of kids success in life.

Look, we know that poor parenting results in kids with poor outlooks, but penalising good parenting by taking away the effect of good parenting is probably not a good way to go about helping those kids with poor parenting.

If you paid via Cc sure, but, in the EU at least, bank or debit card are pretty common, and while it is possible to charge back with those, it is pretty hard depending on the policies and size of the bank. I have a bank acc in Spain who chargeback without questions when I pop over an email, while my dutch or uk accounts require stacks of paperwork and often say ‘nope’.
Most places I’ve seen have year on year bonuses for sales growth. It doesn’t have be a flat bonus for a given year.

So if Alice finds good customers and retains them, she does better than Bob because that customer is retained and she’s finding new accounts while Bob is trying to find customers to replace the sales he lost this year.

It’s not trivial to develop sales incentive programs, I agree, but it’s way easier than doing it for home office people whose job only has a loose connection to revenue and profit and any measure is inherently subjective.
As someone who applied to college too long ago to remember anything - do you self-provide your demographics? Or do they try to guess what race/ethnicity you are based on your name?
Limited scope software simply exports functionality to a "de facto" support structure. An ecosystem as it were.

To get adopted, your "total experience" must be better the status quo.

So, authors of software need "de facto" integrations with other products. To handle features their product doesn't.

Unix utilities do "limited scope" brilliantly.

In, say, the Scala ecosystem... limited scope isn't so brilliant. Sometimes you just can't do limited scope.

Every year the "status quo" in software rises that much higher. Providing a better experience increasingly requires ever more resources to push a project to adoption.
Discrimination and over-representation could both happen right?

Group A is 5% of the overall population, but 15% of the best admissions to a college, and the college ends up being 10% from group A.
If you can't do calculus in a stressful situation, you can't do it, anymore than you can understand french if you can't understand it when people speak it at full speed.
Marriott did the same thing for me with the New Orleans Ritz. In their case, they said the OTA room isn't guaranteed, direct is, therefore, different class of room.

Do you actually have any experience with these best price guarantees? Because I've only tried a handful of times and every time I end up booking through the OTA.

Look how fast you walked back your initial claim:

> Every major hotel chain and many independent properties have "Best Price Guarantees" that, well, guarantee you'll get the best price with them.

> Certainly not all garbage, though IHG (and Hilton) are two of the worst.

That's no guarantee.
quite literally!

Cool, thanks for saying!
Regardless of if they were the right thing to do, many of the various covid mandates being enacted through whatever form of decree really didn’t seem like they fit inside the authority of the government executives trying to enact them. Many were also made to be unenforceable so they’d never be tested in court while still influencing people.

The rule of law is important and limiting the power of “rulers” to make large sweeping regulations by themselves is important. Agreeing with what they’re trying to do doesn’t make it right. People have been cheering for authoritarianism more and more and it’s disturbing.
Ah, the extra tax for the socially introverted
And I meant it's just simple corruption because there is little to no evidence that can be produced which supports the fringe theory that politicians care about the city's finances or what is and is not a big deal to the common people.

They care about their finances and those of their friends and lobbyists and donors, so corruption is the simplest and most obvious explanation.
The thing is, I'm very happy with that not being part of the model, but the whole model.

I don't want to deal with experimentation or complex organizations or "an enhanced enterprise version" or free tiers. I want someone to take money from myself and other customers, and use it to make a good product without shenanigans.

E: As far as I know, it is still possible to get free accounts on sr.ht - however, it is very transparent that this is not a permanent offer.
