Well I'll tell you why I don't finish mine. It is because their UI and UX sucks. They ask for a PDF, but they always fail to parse it, and trying to correct the parsed data is an exercise in frustration. Also, they don't let you only manually type-in the data, they require the PDF to do a crappy job of parsing from.

And then they don't let me fill-in things the way I want to. For example, as a one-man operation I have worked with multiple clients at the same time and mediated and implemented projects that were a collaboration between several clients. Their web UI won't accept that sort of thing.

Just let me upload a damn PDF, or even just let me type-in free-form text.
> If I have some novel medical compound, of course I can't just mix it into my cookies.

Why of course? What justification leads you to "of course" here. Not saying you are necessarily wrong but doesnt sound like say taking aspirin and adding some vitamins, despite now being a novel medical compound, would make it immediately and obviously illegal, letalone for personal use in cookies or otherwise.

Not that the law ever had to or indeed does make sense.

It's sad to see Gitea not receiving enough donations/funding to stay afloat, and I obviously can't fault them for taking the necessary steps to generate revenue, but it's also sad to see it eventually going open-core.

Recently I wanted to apply to a company. First they had you read some weird document telling you how they can’t pay high salaries, so you should be modest with your expectations.

Then further down the form they require you to record a video introducing yourself and telling them why they should hire you.

Ended up closing the form right there.

Do these people not realize how annoying their process is and how talented people don’t have to put up with crap like this?
I'm happy to provide reasonably lengthy written responses (though not multiple hours) if it's well into the process, but just last night I had a recruiter who on the back of me saying I "might be interested" decided to ask me to fill in a form with multiple free-form text fields where he advised me to provide lengthy answers before he'd even convinced me the role is worth my time.

Being in a position to be picky it felt great to send him a list of pieces of information I expected from him before I'd consider filling in their form.
I wish there was a project which with minimal materials would convert sand to solar panels using solar heat energy, but somehow without the metal framework of aluminium needed today.

So , in theory we could have a source of energy with minimal materials, no fossil fuels and something that can be used over many decades.

As I understand making polysilicon today is a very energy intensive process. So is making aluminium but like 75% of the global aluminium resources are recycled

The problem is that this is a very first mandate for vaccination we ever imposed on ordinary people.

The US has very complex society and diverse population, so mandates do not work and might create backclash.

I think mass vaccination can be easily achieved by mass marketing. Mandates just made this way too political: and as we can see did not achieve a thing.
It says it's illegal, but that its illegality is an inherent property of the drug itself, as opposed to a conditional property coming from the laws of Australia, is just a fantastic straw man.

You've got cause and effect backwards. Societies have to overreact to pandemics, because those that didn't got wiped out - eventually. Enforcement of quarantine and similar measures through extreme social norms is a necessary adaptation to the threat of plague; civilization wouldn't be able to exist without it.

The deepest tunnels in London are the electricity grid tunnels. Inner London is served by a whole redundant network of them, and we only hear about it when the power (very occasionally) goes out because one catched fire and they have to wait for it to burn out. The last mile services are all burried too.

It gives the city a very different look from what you get in Asia for instance, and I always ssumed it was because of the lack of earthquakes.

Rumor was Aaron Judge, the Yankee's biggest star, was unvaccinated. He personally sidestepped question about vaccine status and the team had publicly said a few (two?) players on a Yankees hadn't had their shots. Before opening day there were questions about if Judge would be able to play in New York.

The whole thing ended up being a mute point, because everyone on the starting roster[1] eventually got their shots so they could travel to Canada to play the Blue Jays.

[1] they later traded for an unvaccinated player

I really wish there was something like Tomorrow's World now, (is there?) - it brilliantly explained the possibilities of tech for the future, without ever just being an advert - in fact I don't think I ever saw a device on there that you could purchase (or at least I don't remember them).

I vividly remember seeing an LCD display that kept the display on without power - very early e-ink, and the possibilities seemed so exciting to me.

Nothing scratches that itch for me today (other than Hacker News to a degree) as most tech writing it avertorials or built from press releases. At times Engaget came close for me, but these days it is just another tech news site with all the same information, and very little focus on 'across the horizon'.

The furthest I'll go is filling in 2-3 form fields or write a short cover "letter" in a form if I'm particularly interested and the job ad provided sufficient detail that I know there are particular parts of my experience worth calling out to them and explain how it relates to the job in ways that might not be obvious to the first line recruiter.

But yeah, if there isn't an "easy apply" button on a LinkedIn job ad it takes a lot before I'll click through and even more before I'll consider filling in yet another form.

You're correct in your regard for exceedingly high child mortality, though it bears no weight on the survival of humanity as a whole in a technology-breaking event. The human body is indeed a bet, and one that has paid off for ~300,000 years and about 12,000 generations, if we start counting from Homo Sapiens. I'd very much take that bet any day.

A bit unfair, no? Firefox switched to the "new major version every 6 weeks (or so)" only because Google did that first with Chrome, and people started thinking "Chrome is so much better because it's in version 17 and Firefox is version 3".
That's a valid question, but keep in mind that for most of the people clicking through it's unlikely to be something they consider important. When looking for a job, I click through on a lot of jobs where I simply haven't got enough information yet to be invested in any way, and part of what will make me decide is whether the application form makes them look like idiots I don't want to work for.
Linux Commands Frequently Used
A poetic summary.

Toxic work culture is a very serious thing. It's both a cause and
symptom of a dysfunctional economy and we need to fix it with the same
urgency as problems of transport, environment and health (and it
relates to all).

Every small company starts out "like a family", full of good
intentions, and then ends up in a psychological race to the bottom of
naked exploitation, greed and systemetised ignorance.

Modern HR selects primarily for desperation and compliance. Management
is essentially an activity of self-preservation. Qualities like duty,
loyalty, initiative and industriousness are deemed weaknesses.

There is no way we can build globally competitive and innovative
business in this milieu. How do you do full hard-reset and reboot on
an entire culture?

It mentioned nothing about decreasing hospitalisation or death (which is true and I agree with!).

It mentioned “saving coworkers” which implies that the vaccine prevents infection or transmitted, which is not true.

As RF already outputs jUnit style XML file, for sure you can instruct your CI to utilize that. And at worst `robot` will return relevant exit code so CI can at least get pass/fail information from the whole process. Also, https://pypi.org/project/allure-robotframework/ generates Allure reports from RF, you might be able to utilize that.

Not sure what else one might need. Surely any relevant CI can also store the HTML files RF generates.

EDIT: Just realized who you are. We've met few times at RF events. I'm not sure what other information one might want besides jUnit, console output and exit code, Allure reports, HTML files and RF output.xml.

Lot of thoughts / questions. First off, if you're getting the talent you need out of your application process, then who cares.

If you're not, and your numbers of abandoned applications are high, then throw the forms in the trash can and see what happens for a month. Contact details, attach resume done.

I highly suspect that a lot of these 'applications' are ad/click fraud (companies spend a lot of money to drive traffic to their job postings), other bots, recruiters testing the waters to play middleman, or people who were never going to apply no matter how easy the process is.
Nice.

This is just the kind of project that appeals to me on all axes (pun unintended!). A nice mixture of simple ML, actuators and control, electronics, math and biology, at a level that seems within reach for me. I mean, an MRI machine has all this and more, but without the "within reach" part!
Perhaps I should specify "cookies you intended to sell, or otherwise serve to people who have no reason to think they would contain anything but ingredients legal as food additives".

A tip for going over github code is to use the github.dev domain. This will help going over the code in an IDE (if you'd like that), that provides you language features, and easier navigation (eg Go To/ Peek Definitions, or References). It also helps avoid to clone a large repo to do the same locally.

For example https://github.dev/dotnet/roslyn/blob/main/src/Analyzers/CSh...
(takes a few mins to cache such a large repo, but caches in browser local storage for subsequent use)

I wonder how many people _think_ about applying for a job advertised by traditional means; but never actually end up applying?

I'd imagine a lot of people do; I know I have in the past.

Perhaps the main difference with a digital application, is that we are able to track some of the behavioural artifacts that are created on the lead up to applying .. which aren't available (or visible) via the traditional alterative.
Methodological, theoretical, and societal in collective decision-making research
One thing to remember about stats like this is that the sample is very biased. While there are all kinds of reasons a person might be looking for work, and many people looking will potentially be great employees, most great employees already have jobs. The population looking for jobs is going to be, on average, less suitable for employment than those who already have them. Add to that the fact that more promising applicants tend to be selective with their applications, whereas lower quality applicants tend to spam resumes out widely, as long as little effort is required, and it starts to become unsurprising that a large majority of people who click an apply button don't bother to go further when a minor roadblock is hit.

Ours is a very different type of business than Home Depot, but we intentionally put a minor roadblock (a fizzbuzz-level coding problem) in our job application, specifically to filter out those applicants unwilling or unable to put in the slightest effort to apply. (And we see a very similar percentage who don't bother to complete it - at least 90%.) The question is intentionally easy, as we don't want to waste people's time, and it's not fair to ask for much before reciprocating. But it is a fantastic way to eliminate the applicants who are just using the shotgun approach, and get down to those who actually have a clue and a real interest in the position. (Much fairer and more useful than keyword filtering imo too, and can be a good way to start a dialogue.)

So I guess what I'm saying is, maybe this is a feature, not a bug.
From personal PoV as a software engineer - not that surprising.

I've yet to have any success from any online application, while my hit rate when contacted by recruiters is relatively high - nothing to do with particular recruiters being good at gaging my wants or skills, simply they have the incentive to get this done, because only then they get paid.

My guess is either the official postings are a company policy requirement to give someone a promotion (get some external CVs in, do some biased comparison to justify why the person deserves a promotion - at least my experience from working in a bank) or the company can't be bothered to spend their own time recruiting & just outsources it to a recruiting company, forgetting they have their own listing open. Also, most if not all of those external platforms are quite bad.
I don't know what point you think I'm making. The poster I was replying to was claiming that stress after a traumatic experience is normal, and not a disorder that should be treated.

My whole point was that this is utterly wrong, and that, while stress during a traumatic experience is normal and potentially even required (akin to pain), stress after the experience is definitely not a good thing, and should be treated in any way possible (whether that's family support, therapy, or medication is up to every individual case) - just like chronic pain.

Relating to pain, people should get relief as soon as the pain has done its job - that is, as soon as they know about the injury and the area they have to protect - any more pain than that is unnecessary, even if normal. In the vast majority of circumstances, I imagine this is probably a matter of seconds or minutes after the injury occurred. I can imagine some weird, vanishingly rare, circumstances where the pain may legitimately need to be endured for longer, but that would be splitting hairs.

And an accute anxiety attack (assuming this occurs without some traumatic event) is obviously not normal or helpful and should be treated immediately. If this anxiety attack is happening during a traumatic event (say, I am currently being held at gunpoint), taking a pill to calm down may be less required (though even that is debatable, especially for a panic attack, which generally leaves you entirely helpless).
Usually in such cases institutional knowledge has a better chance of answering the question what causes the pain and how to fix it and what are tradeoffs.
I’m not an expert on this, and I might be missing something because to me this sounds like a spectacularly useful idea.

Compared to something I would have thought of, like the trivial idea of raised solar panels that left enough space below for animals and plants to grow, those glass trees have wide manufacturing tolerances and work independently of each other.

Thinking now about their degradation process, they might produce a blanket of fine glass shards which would make animal life impossible. I wonder whether there would be ways of mitigating that.
YouTuber MrBeast seeks 10-figure valuation
There are two reasons I don't finish some online job applications:

1. Some application processes ask me to upload my resume and then want me to manually enter it again in a series of web forms. I'm not interested in spending 30+ minutes manually copying and pasting the resume I just uploaded. I figure that lack of common sense is systemic in the company, so I don't want to work there.

2. Some companies use third-party services, like icimi.com. If I submit two or three resumes through these third-party services and fail to receive a response, I never apply for other companies that use these same services.
Forgive me, but what is it a slippery slope of? I immediately thought this logic was already applied to things like child toy regulation or lead paint warning regulation or food recall regulation or workplace safety regulation… it’s really common for the government to enforce people to do things (or ban people from doing other things) in certain contexts because of the danger otherwise.

There's a delay between your signal to move a muscle, and the movement of the muscle, but that is a discrepancy our brains tend to edit out of the experience. It's more noticeable with the legs where the signal needs to move farther.

But if you tell your foot to curl its toes, there's like a quarter second delay that if you aren't paying very close attention to things feels like you're immediately moving the toes, even though that's clearly not it.
It is just your personal assumption that they are the "same people". But it would make sense because due to lack of standardized interfaces Wayland forces every functionality into a monolithic implementation which is the opposite of small and modular.

X does not implement everything and the kitchen sink. A bare Xserver won't even be usable without a dedicated window manager, the compositor is completely replaceable and runs as a separate process, etc. Just because it is perceived by some to be bloated doesn't mean it is monolithic.
