There's also the possibility that some candidates actually do have the track record they claim. If your default assumption is that anyone claiming really strong experience is obviously exaggerating when you haven't even talked to them then you're going to rule out a lot of the best candidates stupidly.

I've been in the bracket where ageism is a factor for a while now and so have many of the best people I know who still work as ICs. Being told that no-one really has that breadth or depth of experience and unicorns don't exist should be surprising for this group but sadly isn't any more. If the person making the silly comment is an important player in a hiring process then that's not a good sign.

The worst I've seen is when you're personally invited in as an expert/consultant by someone in your network and then HR insist on treating the gig as if they're hiring some random junior developer applicant. Objectively the professional thing to do if you're getting messed around like that is usually to politely disengage but then you risk making your friend/colleague look bad. Sometimes going via your network is a double-edged sword.
Mastodon is messy. The world is messy. We have cities with different rules, different mayors, different odds of existing in 50 years. It's nice to have all the cities follow all the same rules and customs if you agree with them, and nice to have another city to move to if you don't.

Email as a decentralized medium has survived for decades. You use a big provider like Gmail, choose a host in another region, or an organization like Proton Mail that does thing somewhat different.

It's OK that Mastodon is messy and at times chaotic. It's organic.

I wouldn't page David Sinclair about any supplements. See: Resveratrol.
I wouldn't say that's a flaw.

There are people, even today, who have no better choice but to use BTC for transactions or for storing value.

The point is that if you want to (or need to), you can do it. So people now have that option, which they didn't have before BTC was created.

As an example, it might be the best option for doing transactions and storing value for large amounts of people in some area, in times of crisis (e.g. financial crisis, war, oppressive governments, etc). You might not be able to use a fiat currency in such cases without significant downsides, such as extreme inflation, confiscation, blocking of bank withdrawals or transactions, going to prison, etc. Bitcoin is available and can be used whenever such events happen.

In fact, if you ever run into a situation like this, you might even desperately need BTC and will be very glad it exists, so don't discount its value so easily.

That said, sure, it would be better if there was more adoption. I think there should be and hope there will be.

But it's not exactly a flaw, in the same way as you not being able to use the currency of some obscure country in your daily life is not a flaw with that currency.
Thanks! library.lol looks useful; is it a libgen aggregator?

- single key for fullscreen, esc key to close program

optional

- rotate images with single keys r/l

Tracking is the big one, but depending on the app, there can be performance-related reasons. If your app is graphics/multimedia heavy and you want the interactions to be seamless and fluid, you really want to be in control of all the threads and resource loading and can't trust a browser/JS-engine not to glitch your buttery-smooth transitions and animations. Or at least, you'll spend a lot more work trying to get it to acceptable. Lots of people wouldn't care about this, but I've worked for some folks who are absolutely rabid about perfecting the UX and sometimes, native is the best choice for that.

Edit: but for real, it's the tracking almost always.
This is the fine print:

My world is split.

In my family sphere, covid is over. Though, to them covid was always overblown with the response being worse than the illness.

In my main friend group, most still feel we are still in the middle of covid. Though, from my perspective, their words/fears seem to differ from their actions.

Non-mRNA COVID vaccines do exist.
You appear to be arguing for a solution (active upkeep) which cannot apply to the actual problem in this context (discontinuity of civilization).
It's a matter of degree, precision and resolution. Of course, models can be made, and of course they can be useful.

The modern attitude of "It won't be perfect, so I can claim it's no good" is today's religion. Deny science, because it can get the details wrong.
That's good news ... I thought they had added it but were forced to remove it. I think this will make Hy a bit easier to use, especially for those who are more comfortable with CL or Scheme than Python :)
Excuse me, that's "guy who wastes his life on social medium."
You mean, the fucked housing and rental markets? Or perhaps you were referring to the rent seeking on the restaurant industry? Or do you mean the "contractors" who subsidize Uber with their cars? Or was it the taxi drivers whose livelihoods were destroyed?
SpaceX was overwhelmingly funded by Musk and his friends was it not?
I do think you've hit on a point of confusion in the parent, but...

In a (hard) real-time system the only thing that matters is the worst-case execution time -- if your worst-case time fits in the allowance you win, if it doesn't you lose.

Adding a cache improves the average case (typically), but hurts the worst case (always) -- your worst case goes from "do expensive operation" to "do lookup in cache, fail, do expensive operation." Even if you parallelize misses ("do lookup in cache | do expensive operation, on cache success cancel expensive operation, on cache miss wait for expensive operation" you're generally adding at least a few operations in the critical path.
If you write your code in Python, many team members or new hires will already know Python and hence be able to dive right in to the code base.

If you write your code in Hy, many people are going to have no idea. Small chance they already know it. A minority of people will have some background in Lisp, and if you already know both Python and another Lisp, learning Hy should be straightforward. But for a Lisp-naive developer, it is a big speed bump.

Also there is a lot of existing tooling around Python code – static analysis, etc – which might not be able to handle Hy. Sure, it can process the transpiled Python, but that produces a lot less pleasant experience for the developer. You really want native Hy tools, which are going to be behind native Python tools.
Learnings from our migration to Elastic at OpsLevel
I not one for keeping stuff, so it's the keyboard I use, made by Codegen in 1986 with Futaba clicky switches. It doesn't have a Windows key, but you can choose between an XT or AT modes, and I use it with an AT to PS/2 passive adapter. The keyboard is not rare or valuable, but I adore the switches, they remind me of IBM's beam springs from the 70's. One day I shall build a new keyboard with these switches.
I mean how does he know it's not "thousands of RPC calls" -- he spent six years and never got it to perform, so he doesn't know. "You're wrong!" ? Based on what?

If I worked for six years on something and it still didn't work and someone came in and said it's "x", I would say, "I'm excited to see that data because I really want to fix this." I think I'm more upset at his attitude than anything.

In all honesty, I think what he meant was "I spent six years and failed to fix something that is fixable, and then outside consultants came in a clearly found clear problems in a couple weeks, and now I'm humiliated," but he has too big of an ego for that.
>..risks must necessarily be very low, as otherwise with a sample size of billions of doses issued even effects in the 1 in a million would be readily identifiable.

it's by no means easy to identify trends that are worth pursuing for a medical investigation in a varied cohort of a billion people, and poll size is only a single attribute -- this is made even harder during a vacination campaign that is trying to effectively drive the un-vaccinated rates to as close to 0% as possible, making comparative studies even more difficult to establish.

Time/race/status/age/health all matter. You can't just take a look at what conditions that the billions of vaccinated share, that's ineffective for any kind of impact study.

It's my opinion that any 'precise' data is going to come about in years and years once we can establish a generational gap between this event and others so that we can effectively create a cross-generational comparative study.
Exactly, and there are hospital administrators and other professionals in this sphere who are on record (as in, recorded in conferences where they are speaking freely) as having said exactly this.

They know it's a growth area in the for-profit health industry and are quite happy to see more hormones, more surgeries, more follow-up work being offered as a first-line treatment to people undergoing such identity crises. There's no money to be made in watchful waiting.
> Why wouldn't they make their own instance?

Because it's not worth the effort. If anything, there are going to a commercial providers that run servers for companies in a bundled way where all of their clients use their servers. But more likely, they won't bother at all with this, because it's not an important part of their business.
I have a fossil of a leaf in a stone, and a rock with some minerals and gold flecks in it.
hello! the author here! this has been pretty much made with the intention of me trying to address some of the shortcomings i experienced in the kind of tooling ive used over the years as an infra/sre person. never made it with the intention of making it general enough tool for everyone but more as a manifestation of what i think tools could've been like. it draws a lot of inspiration from concourse but improves on aspects like decoupling the way one can describe things for instance in YAML like concourse, no central controller in the cluster and things like being designed for being cloud native upfront by having rootless unprivileged runners etc. the way i see it concourse is a production ready, general version of this and other people like the idea of bob, it could be too by evolving more on the ideas of concourse.

This is what he did for SolarCity too, used NASA funding to buy their bad bonds then had to use Tesla to buy them so the default on that didn't collapse SpaceX.

Minority shareholders in SpaceX should probably sue, unless they think maybe Tesla will buy Twitter and announce an ad-spend refund for recently supportive companies.
Nuts is that on the basis of the flimsiest of evidence, your ascribing an efficacy in disease prevention to an intervention (wearing masks) that was widely understood to do no such thing prior to 2020.

Furthermore, respiratory disease avoidance on a society-wide scale has never and almost certainly will never be achieved. The assumption that it is an attainable goal is truly nuts.
There is an exact answer to your question, and it has nothing to do with the size of the company: a startup is a company designed to grow fast. Everything we associate with the success of a startup is a byproduct of growth.

With that definition, AWS is a startup. So was the iPhone. Both invented their respective markets, and had to grow quickly to do it. If either of them had needed to raise money from VCs, smart VCs would’ve invested. But they didn’t need to raise capital, since they were already a successful company.
The title on HN seems to deviate from the one on the page. I say that because that's only 24 miles a day, and I've known plenty of people who bike commute and do _at least_ that. The article itself, IMHO, is also more interesting than the amount of miles biked.

Everyone who was working on any commercial codebase knows that this functionality are either features which nobody knows they are there, but when they disappear all the hell will break loose, because there is non-trivial amount of people using them and other thing on seemingly "dead code" is covering of edge cases for bugs which developer is unable to trigger, but end user will trigger them with 100% success rate.
I think Awesome lists kind of fit this bill. I know it's not the same UX as a webring, but it seems like having an index view would suffice. It's more utilitarian and less experiential, but would be much easier to manage and track.

Did webrings have more features than just the list of sites, like voting and stuff? I honestly don't remember.
This looks super interesting, but as far as I can tell they don’t go into how to inform downstream users to add your recipes to their maven/gradle configuration when you make a breaking change.

In my head, the ideal flow would be an annotation on your library function/class which triggers an IntelliJ suggestion for downstream users affected by your breaking change to run the automated refactor for them. Kinda like a more helpful @Deprecated.
OP here. This is good advice but is also basic stuff, maybe good for new grads or people with weak social or interviewing skills. I don't think any of this is an issue for me.

For your number (4) it's also important for the hiring side to accept responsibility for choosing to send applicants through one of these platforms. If you set your candidates up to fail, and then they fail, should you own that failure or should they? This is a signal to the candidate too. Practically though, the candidate should just gracefully move on if they are rejected.
Yes. Nothing has changed. It's not quite the blind leading the blind but some variety of that idea.

A uses B uses C

C uses A but not B

B uses C

"Ooooo, A uses B I should use them for C!"
Thanks for the advice. I use synchronous media like chat protocols much more often, and was blind to this- and yep, it does seem like the primary objection to that argument was born out of a flawed understanding of the analogy.
Email is my go-to example of all the problems of federation. In theory any person can stand up their own server and interact with everyone else. In practice, there's been so much abuse over the decades that it takes a staggering investment in time/energy/money/expertise to do so. Enough that's it's completely beyond the reach of the vast majority of people.

This problem is so bad that's it's driven a quiet de facto re-centralization of email.
Trading is easy if everything goes up.
The moment in time you are stomaching 90%+ losses your operating capital quickly disappears.
Yes, but it depends. In our case, we purposely made them fairly simple, with a 50% passing score required, just to make sure they can do the basics.

When I was applying, I would get code tests that were off the charts, and would take hours, where they would say that setting up a user and roles system on top of everything else should only take 3 or 4 hours, or I would get grilled on language minutia that were things I had never encountered in my day to day work. In ou se case, ee were just trying to have them demonstrate a minimal amount of code capability without overwhelming them.
I suspected this is about currency exchange rates, and along about the third paragraph I saw it.
Maybe this is the direction we need to go in, however. Most people now do not type in URL's and a search engine becomes their single point of knowledge or discovery (or social media). Do we really want that much power in a single entity?

What we might need are modern web rings - an easy to setup software that is plug in play for anyone who sets up a simple site - and that then can be configured to point to other sites. Maybe with a universal login for that "ring"
All the companies you list are frauds, save maybe coinbase.

Just because the cost neutral could mean a few dollars (static) to a few hundreds.
Unless these devices have the ability to update their binary OEM blobs then these cannot be considered secure. This is why alternative OSs like GrapheneOS end their support when the Google Pixel is EOL. If you want long term support buy an iPhone or an Android phone that guarantees at least 5 years of security updates.
Will we see lower prices and peace?

Probably. Or at least, inflation will reduce to the expected levels. The more volatile prices (fuel, food) will likely reduce.

As for peace... the US is not itself at war. There are many other wars, most prominently Ukraine/Russia. There is a very good chance that will be over within the next two years, though that is only marginally connected to us.

Tense situations with North Korea, China, Iran, and others have been going on for decades and are unlikely to alter radically in the next few years no matter who is in charge.

Lower crime?

Long term, we already see lower crime. It has dropped a lot since the 1970s. It has ticked up marginally in the last few years, but is still far below where it has been. I don't know if that trend will turn around in the short term.

Less addiction?

Drug overdose deaths have already leveled off. They're still too high.

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db394.htm

How will the national interest be served by voting for the status quo?

It is almost certainly better served by the status quo than by any particular minority view, especially if the view is that of a very small minority. While it's not impossible that there is some radical alteration to the nation that people don't know about, it's more likely that any particular change to the status quo you have in mind is probably opposed by the vast majority of people.

Will we get to the bottom of the number one cause of death?

Heart disease? It doesn't really have a "bottom", since it's a number of different conditions. But we already know that you can improve many of them with a good diet (more foods high in fiber and protein, fewer foods with high concentrations of sugar, salt, and fat, which generally means more whole foods and fewer things that have been highly processed). Radical changes are unlikely in the next two years, and even if there is one, it will have little to do with the political party in charge.
> one value in doing it plain is it's easy to fix and get parts anywhere

That's probably the main value. In the article it says he waited three days for a bike chain - I imagine it would have been even longer waiting for a belt. Belts also limit you to single-sprocket rear wheels since they don't work with derailers - hub gears can be reliable (see the legendary Rohloff hubs) but they're expensive and add another difficult-to-source part to the build in case something goes wrong.

There's even something of a cult myth in touring that steel frames are superior since they could be theoretically fixed by anyone with a welder. I'm not sure if I've ever heard of this in practice, though.

Given that you're talking about a 60 K position I can only assume that this is out of your first job or at the very least you're a junior or entry-level position.

So of course this is only anecdotal but I've never sent more than 5 applications out at a time even back when I was a junior dev. In the last 10 years I don't even bother looking for jobs actively anymore, I just turn the switch on my LinkedIn indicating that I'm seeking employment, and let recruiters do the rest.

I'm not sure what the difference is, but I would consider myself to be an outlier as far as traditional engineers go, in that I am both exceptionally articulate and naturally extroverted. If I can get to the point where I have a face-to-face or a phone interview, I'm fairly confident that I'll be able to acquire an offer. Without specifics I can only recommend that engineers work on developing their soft skills if they don't already have them.

On the other hand I'm not particularly picky in terms of companies, and I have a wide range of senior level experience in major platforms including C# and node/typescript/JavaScript.

Just a counterpoint for all the gloom and doom but I'd say that you have nothing to worry about if you have the following:

- in demand skillset (ts/js/c#)

- people skills / charisma

- US citizenship

- 10+ years experience

- reasonable salary expectations (140-175k)
