This is anecdotal, so take it with a shovel of salt. I was in a very similar position. I decided to quit my job before having another.

My main reason was I wanted to find something that will keep me happy for a long time. I felt it was less likely for me to find that while doing my current job. I had savings to keep me afloat, but planned to find a new job asap.

Long story short, it paid off. I think having full days to find it helped me a lot. I ended up joining a startup as the first dev and that would've only happened if I had the time to fly up to the founder and spend a few days with him understanding the business and more importantly the person I would have to work with.

It sounds to me you've already written off your current place. I would say commit to finding a new place and think hard about what you want then articulate it well to others.

Best of luck and stay positive.

I have a copy of volume 2 of "Signs of the Times" from the 1970s, which is a catalogue of similarly amusing signs sent in by readers of The Times newspaper. My personal favourite is "Please do not throw sticks, stones, or this sign over the edge" from a cliff edge in South Africa :)
> Their products are consistently medium good

Oddly enough, this can be a sign of an excellent business. Microsoft originally provided some very mediocre products, but in a world fulled with absolutely shit products, being predictably mediocre was astonishing! Before 2000, when Microsoft produced a lemon, they always seemed to recognise the problem and then replace it with something that was crappily useable (and they also had a few products that were actually good).

Your comment makes me think that products and services are higher quality now, so it is harder to compete by being merely mediocre or even “medium good” (as you point out).
I don't watch TV. I hate TV. I am a programmer. I will never be programmed. People who fear, they do so because they were programmed.
> You might want to update your model based on the latest bombs

The "latest bomb" hasn't changed significantly in the last 50 years. Typical Russian strategic warheads that are actually deployed are between 250KT and 1MT. While they CAN make bigger warheads, those are not deployed in large numbers. There is also the Poseidon class nuclear torpedo (with a 100MT warhead), but I don't think my location is a very likely target for that.

If you haven't seen it already, this site has a rough simulation of how far you need to be from a nuke detonation site to suffer various effects:

> And conclude that you are safe nowhere. Literally.

I didn't say safe. I said, if one bomb detonates in the nearest city, I'm more likely to live than not (as in >50% chance to survive the blast itself).
Did you read the article? 80% of country is religious. It's impossible to avoid religious people.

I find it hard to believe someone with as much contempt in their language as Trump receives so much love and support from religious people.

This.

Becoming good at Go is mostly knowing all the sharp edges with the built in types IMO. Of course go routines and concurrency primitives are difficult to master, but that is a different beast and if you understand concurrency from some other languages Go just makes that easy. But knowing all the behaviors of slices, and really intuiting how they work makes your life a lot easier and a lot less prone to bugs. And slice behavior almost all comes down to what is a slice internally and how and where am I copying things as I wrote my code. Generally the copying is fine, but in some cases it is not or it is in a tight performance critical section where you need to be thinking about it.

Esit: Also, pointers into slices will probably leave you sad. You get a pointer to the slice storage, not a pointer to the thing. And if the slice resizes your pointer mow references a dead slice. Basically, pointers and slices are not friends. Unless you have a slice of pointers, which idiomatic go avoids unless there is a decent reason for it :)
> SWE also just has insane demand from people in India and China.

this sentence is confusing to me. Are you saying there are a lot of SWE jobs in India and China? Or are you saying there are a lot of people from those places looking for SWE jobs.

Or something different?
well, we are allowed to talk about crypto ;)
Comparing OpenSUSE MicroOS and Fedora Silverblue
Yeah, I know... what these companies are doing is absolute crap and I suspect that in the future this is going to lead to an even bigger crisis than what's happening right now in the crypto industry.

I suspect that this is a side effect of 1) being impossible to store large amounts of USD cash in a bank, at least without incurring into significant risks of losing it or actually even losing money over time due to negative interest rates and/or 2) being more lucrative to hold these paper products rather than keep everything strictly in cash, perhaps even also 3) lack of moral standards? I don't know.

I think this is even worse than what the traditional banks are doing and I'm completely against it. Especially due to the lack of transparency that you are mentioning.
Not true.

The performance ceiling of C++ is substantially lower than that of Rust. For example, it is roughly impossible for humans to use `restrict` with C or C++, while it's a completely normal part of writing Rust (and LLVM optimizations have finally been turned on: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/54878)

Also see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/103070 and https://reviews.llvm.org/D136659, which start introducing further Rust-specific optimizations.
All three of those are wrong in at least some circumstances. Several members of my family have been getting their mandatory flu shots for decades.
My objecting is against “for not knowing how to play the game”. You’re arguing for a more plausible causality.

The tool https://gitlab.com/divested-mobile/cve_checker is fascinating; I've usually seen people attempting to bring needed drivers to a mainline kernel, but backporting security fixes to a vendor kernel does seem like a plausible way to get a lot of the benefit with less work.
Reminds me of one of the pilot episodes of my own life as well :p When I was in elementary school, my father gave me a cell phone so me and him could call each other.

No one else in my class nor in most other classes at school had a phone. So it was kind of cool. But still for many years the only thing I could do with the phone, since no one else had mobile phones yet, was to talk with my father XD It was a blue and black Siemens phone with an antenna. No games, no GPRS/WAP, no nothing other than phone call and SMS ability mainly.
> They stopped recommending further boosters to younger people after the 1st booster.

Which country(s) specifically changed their guidance about boosters after the 1st booster was released? Again I'm not aware of large swings in policy in most of these countries. Some aren't recommending 4th doses yet but I don't think any have changed policies about boosters after the fact.
Being an entry level staffer is not the same as running a n-Billion dollar business. The higher you rise, the more important the role of governance, compliance, and risk management becomes. If you shortcut this you will miss an important part of "job experience"
It may not be as easy as people think, but there are also items on the list that could be addressed by the company. It should not take several months to go from applications to offer for most jobs.

It sounds like I would not want to work at Apple with all the games HR plays.
>This avoids employee knowledge and experience from leaving,

Amazon is very specifically optimizing their company to get rid of the need for both of those things!
This isn't a ponzi scheme as others have pointed out.

This is well understood and goes on all the time in NFTs, it's usually called wash trading.

People in crypto know this is happening. The reason they still speculate is because it's hard to predict when it will collapse, and some people think they have an edge predicting that sort of thing.
I really hate when people use "errors" for signals. Or, alternately, use the signals mechanisms for actual errors. An error should be "something went wrong", and reading a file to the EOF is not "going wrong", that's just what the "read()" should do if you tell it so!

I like Go's multiple returns and error checking by default, but it definitely should have been implemented with some sort of "Result/Error" type union instead. Go made so many good decisions, that I am frankly amazed they made this one really bad one.
I think the fundamental problem here is that it's all about avoiding mistakes, not about doing good things. This attitude in general is a pox on humanity. Once you start to see the pattern it's everywhere. Schools, science funding, hospitals, building codes, policing, banking, aerospace, and on and on.

No one cares if you improve anything. They just care if you make a mistake. This attitude is a disaster.

> It was no secret that SBF hated traditional finance.

To point out: that’s part of the narrative SBF was selling. I wouldn’t take it literally. There’s a certain kind of person who can/will say anything, and seem sincere, just to get you to part with your money.
> you can't const-cast the templated const away.

That seems like a good thing. If you're handed a map to const values you can't just go "imma gunna mutate them anyway".
For programming it’s probably more important to practice leetcode and the interview prep. But that’s stuff to take some time research. Depends on what makes sense for OP.

Also, banks are just awful towards their tech workers as banks consider tech a cost center. (Which is ridiculous, but still a reality.)
This what?
You do what is right for you. Anyway, my thinking didn't only consider a holocaust. The bomb could be part of a limited exchange, or it could be a terrorist attack.

You haven't claimed anything beyond what an atheist claims. What supernatural beliefs do you subscribe to that would make you call yourself pantheistic?
> They’re a software, logistics company.

Their product isn't some software, and they're not making money by selling software or a software-based service [1], so they're not a software company.

They're selling taxi rides, the fulfillment of which is outsourced to semi-independent contractors. Therefore, they're a taxi company.

[1] Yes, they have an app – who doesn't, today – but clients aren't paying for using the app, they're paying for the service arranged via the app.
wow, that's crazy, I had not heard of this gentleman before.

I'll definitely be checking this out, thanks!

Its useless at this point. You can't unvaccinate someone and there is no antidote. So I don't go around saying I told you so. I am really sorry this all happened.

Show HN: How to find a job as Software Developer in Switzerland? (step by step)
Not to say the other takes here are incorrect, but I believe this is the opening of an anti-semetic funnel.
Show HN: Weight and Biases Reports on Pull Requests
Ask HN: Career path choices/FAANG in Europe?
TL;DR Should I take an SDE FAANG offer in Europe over focusing on ML(with a new degree) or trendy languages (e.g. Rust) through startups(similar TC) or contracting(zero freelance experience)?

With recent layoffs and hiring freezes I'm struggling with where to proceed with my career path.
I'd say I get good at whatever I do very quickly, but I get bored when the problems I solve aren't difficult. Because a lot of jobs in SWE are just another Spring boot web app and I really liked my mini side projects in AI, I decided to specialize and become an ML Engineer (I have ~4 years of experience in software dev)
I entered my ML degree (MSc) thinking it would easily improve my prospects for a high-paying role, but I'm graduating soon and the job market is much dryer than anticipated.
I was hoping to have a chance at early retirement because MLE jobs were offering stellar compensation(lots of active listings >150k), but now it seems I can, maybe, get a 20% salary increase vs my comp in 2020/2021.

Now it seems I have 3 options:

1) I still have a full time return offer as L4 SDE from AWS, but I'm just not sure whether that is a desirable option anymore. FAANG Compensation in Europe, or at least my offer, is not much better, if at all, than local competitors, or any remote-worldwide position. This role binds me to strictly software engineering, without much room for ML, and I'd have to relocate to a specific office, plus the contract is pretty restrictive on what I can do on the side. On the other hand, FAANG is said to be one of the best places to learn, and adds a great item to my CV (or does it?) - and hopefully once the freezes are over I could pivot into a more interesting position.

2) I'm awaiting an offer from a startup where I could learn new trendy languages that I enjoy, and the position is fully remote. The mission seems rather purposeful, though only a chance for future ML stuff and not a lot of top-of-their-field people to learn from that I know of - I'd be more on my own. Compensation here is similar to AWS. I'm also still actively applying but haven't found much else yet.

3) I've been looking into and creating profiles on several contracting platforms, e.g. A-team, that would most probably pay better than the other two options and have a higher chance at finding something ML-related, but I haven't yet landed any projects, and I have zero freelancing experience. I could focus on building out a few side projects for my github and/or create a website that improves my looks. I'm also interested in this because I do want to start my own business once I have a secure financial standing; it seems that not taking advantage of at least some of the low-hanging fruits in AI is like not buying a lottery ticket with a 1 in 10 chance of winning.

With the ultimate goal of making a decent chunk of money for retirement into more fun, purposeful, doing-my-own-thing or charitable work and/or traveling the world, what would you do here?
If I am to be laid off, I would rather it happen while unemployment is low. This should make it easier to get a new job.

I still sympathize with these people, it sucks to be laid off. They are losing their jobs because someone at Amazon screwed up or took risks the laid off person couldn't control.

And an homage that I was just reading earlier today: https://existentialcomics.com/comic/35
people pay in, and that money is spent on (making the project look good|delivering a yield|paying execs|propping up a trading company|whatever) and then the money is not there anymore for withdrawals. That's the essence of a Ponzi scheme and this meets that criterion.

Sure, there's fraudlent accounting, and wash trading, and other bullshit, but that's all just the some and mirrors that allows the ponzi scheme to work.
That is still recommending boosters 18+ though, its only clarifying for additional doses beyond 3rd doses - they didn't change their recommendation for boosters after the fact.
If you think about it there's not much difference between fiat money and something pegged like a gold standard. Rich people and the government control it. According to "standard" economists having the gold standard was bad because you couldn't print more money than the total gold around, thus making for an inefficient system (that's the way I got it). Today the theory that fiat money is worthless is pushed by people deeply invested in crypto, because lot of crypto have a fixed market cap. Whether something is better or not I don't know; just think that in both worlds there's people profiting off their theory acceptance, so be careful out there
Just to be contrarian, I like the ending. Always be wary of over-explaining in stories, especially in science fiction.
The patents on lispro (the stuff that costs $300/vial) expired several years ago.

The fact is, Lilly isn't even the largest profiteer. The insane margins of insulin are actually split between Lilly, PBMs (like optumRX and CareMark) and insurance companies, through an incredibly complex system of rebates and vouchers. Turning over that rock reveals more writhing maggots than anyone cares to see.
Maybe, but it might be worth following the money a bit further (especially on the later transactions). Was the money at Alameda really just lost on bad trades, or which accounts did it end up in eventually?

I read somewhere else that the portfolio of Alameda contained over 400 companies that looked like little more than a Twitter profile with a handful of followers. It's not hard to imagine that the people behind those 'firms' were the same or related to those who are now saying 'whoopsies, they looked like such good trades back then, my bad'.

Presumably this is for performance reasons: if a `Read` call involves, say, a network request, then returning "800, EOF" in one roundtrip is certainly nicer than "800, nil" -> "0, EOF" in two roundtrips. In practice... I suspect this happens rarely enough that it's not worth the cost. The performance edge case could be handled with an alternative API, e.g. an optional EOF() method.
And if something directly impacts the mosfet gate drivers, what then? Is there some sort of N+1 strategy all the way up to the mechanical steering linkage?

This study is, actually, irrelevant to disproving the claim above.

It checks for the myocarditis infection from COVID-19, but it doesn't actually control for vaccination status. The people studied either are believed to have been COVID-19 infected, or had been vaccinated, but there was no designated unvaccinated control group.

In which case, you are potentially using "breakthrough cases" of COVID-19 causing Myocarditis to make your point (assuming they would be the same pre- and post- vaccination), rather than a definitive look at people who did not get the vaccine and how they fared. All the study proves is that COVID-19 infections cause increased Myocarditis... in vaccinated people. If you assume that COVID-19 has the same Myocarditis effect in vaccinated and unvaccinated people, it works; but if you accept that maybe the effects of COVID-19 are different in vaccinated people, it could fall apart, which is why the study about how Myocarditis doesn't seem to effect the 160,000+ unvaccinated people studied still has value.
I still don't see why value structs need to be immutable; ints are mutable in all languages, and structs are mutable in C, C++, and Rust (if you `let mut`) and it's a feature of the language.
At least that can usually be understood from context. Acronyms and initialisms usually cannot unless you already know them.

From your sources:

> "While the Housing Act of 1937 looked to solve American housing issues, it became marred by inequalities and problems. The main problem that rose from the legislation was the power given to the local governments. The Federal government let the local governments and voters decided on where and how to use the federal funding. This lead to local governments maintaining segregationist housing policies as well as allowing many public housing locations to become neglected."
So this was reported on October 31st, then escalated on November 3rd, and the "feature" is still in there. Seeing how severly this impacts users from France, this is slightly diappointing.
