I believe they are doing some search aggregation from multiple sources and from what they say they do not seem to be caching results much.
We commented on this in the post. While we are targeting a specific slice of the market, FAANG and FAANG adjacent, so are our users. It's true that these companies run a process that's not indicative of the whole industry. However, because they’re relative rather than absolute, we feel reasonably confident that these numbers can be generalized to the overall hiring market.

We also felt that even if this data WEREN'T entirely generalizable, it would be interesting to a big enough subset of the HN population to merit sharing.
Google is only "done" if you never actually use it to find sites on the web. For nearly all of these examples I was thinking "WHY DON'T YOU JUST TRY CLICKING THE TOP LINK?" E.g. the first link for writing differential equations in LaTeX, I thought the first result, https://priyankacool10.wordpress.com/2013/10/15/writing-diff... , provided excellent, helpful examples.

That is, if anything, I'd be quite satisfied with Google getting back to being a search engine and not just trying to bypass all the results that actually come back.
Google has the expertise to make this in house. There's no moat.
Just wait until spammers/marketers figure out SEO for GPT-3 type systems to make their products/services more prominent. It's going to be a shit show.

Aren't timelines usually ordered? Maybe it's a rendering issue (Firefox 106 on a Mac), but I'm seeing 1992 at the top of the timeline, then, as I scroll down, dates from 2021, 2022, 2021, 2022, 2030, 2022, in that order.

i am also a technical person and work on small teams generally. my take on team weeks/retreats is that they’re unique opportunities to get to know the people you work with more closely and what motivates them.

doing the same work you do 40 weeks of the year, just in person, is a severe wasted opportunity. pair programming remotely over video will accomplish the same thing.

i also want and expect technical conversations to happen during that time. what i’ve found works great is that you do other stuff, hackathons, lightning talks, and yeah, some of the stuff you hate, forced socialization or activities. in my experience this leads to great conversations and ideas over dinner and leaves us all excited to get back home to get back to the “regular” work.
Mixed drive train isn't relevant.

The number of components on any ICE engine with a power level in the multi-10K watt range FAR exceeds the number of components on an all-electric drive train.

This is the fundamental problem: What's the point of producing a hybrid car that is more expensive to produce than both a standard ICE car and an all-eletric car?

It would be better for governments to subsidize the installation of chargers. This has the advantage that we could move to the all-electric cars (which are significantly cheaper to produce) and start removing gas stations (which are an environmental disaster because the tanks eventually leak).
Will the renegade snipers make their point explicit.
TrueUp doesn't have historical data from before 2022. We couldn't find another index of open tech jobs, sadly. If you know of one, please lmk, and we'll rerun the numbers.

Here's the raw TrueUp data: https://www.trueup.io/job-trend
I seriously don't get this argument. Google can implement this themselves! It's not like they can't train a large language model akin to GPT-3 (they already have) or deploy it. And as others pointed out, language models are seriously not reliable right now in terms of producing true information.
> Because all the studies say that dynamic typing reduces development time without increasing the number of bugs.

This is literally false, which you can clearly see if you'd bothered to actually check the references cited in that article that links to this review:

https://danluu.com/empirical-pl/

Numerous studies demonstrate that static typing had little effect on development time, if the typed language was expressive, but did have noticeable effects on the quality of results and the maintainability of the system. The more advanced and expressive the type, as with Haskell and Scala, the better the outcome, but all studies done so far have flaws.

As for the specific data discussed in that article, here's what that review had to say:

The speaker used data from Github to determine that approximately 2.7% of Python bugs are type errors. Python's TypeError, AttributeError, and NameError were classified as type errors. The speaker rounded 2.7% down to 2% and claimed that 2% of errors were type related. The speaker mentioned that on a commercial codebase he worked with, 1% of errors were type related, but that could be rounded down from anything less than 2%. The speaker mentioned looking at the equivalent errors in Ruby, Clojure, and other dynamic languages, but didn't present any data on those other languages.
This data might be good but it's impossible to tell because there isn't enough information about the methodology. Something this has going for is that the number is in the right ballpark, compared to the made up number we got when compared the bug rate from Code Complete to the number of bugs found by Farrer. Possibly interesting, but thin.

In other words, this "evidence" you cited is a clearly biased anecdote, nothing more. I also recommend reading the HN comments also linked, where former Python programmers describe why scaling dynamic typing to large codebases is problematic.

In the end, my originally stated position on this stands: you have literally no empirical evidence to justify the claims you've made in this thread.
I guess that people in US and other big countries with strong currencies don't really understand that there are smaller fiat currencies and these are actually used. I wonder how often you have to convert your USD even when traveling, last time I was visiting Africa I remember most just accepted USD or euros directly even though the countries had their own local currencies.
Thankfully, your comments aren't being used as a definitive source of truth by default :)
Even better, I might switch to that.
Fair, I should have said "Swan's statement in the quote" - the intention was mainly to avoid being misinterpreted as disagreeing with DoingIsLearning anyway, not to dunk on my namesake.
Huh—my experience with having my credit "frozen" was that I could still open accounts, it just meant that if it was happening online the company would call me first using some number on record with the CRAs (I think?) to make sure it was really me (and, like... why the actual fuck isn't that the default behavior? Why do you have to request that they do that?)

I'd not have even bothered unfreezing before trying to apply for something from Google. Now I'm wondering how that would look. They do hate paying actual people to do actual-people things, so maybe they'd, uniquely, just flat-out reject the request.

(yes, I get that OP removed the freeze first, I'm just wondering how Google would have handled it if they hadn't)
I check on that lazy trees PR like twice a week, lol. It's my most anticipated Nix PR for some time now. I imagine I'm not the only one!

> Absolutely nothing like this is happening though, so what's your point?

I am saying that the fact that this is illegal, because of the sherman anti-trust act, is a good thing. Anti-trust laws are not some crazy, extreme example of authoritarianism.

Therefore, because I hope you can agree that it is good that we use government force, to prevent this, you cannot act in fake shock outrage, at the idea of using uncontroversial, and obviously good laws, such as the sherman anti-trust act.

> I run Firefox on my iPhone, it's free?

Apple prevents you from using your own phone to pay for apps that do not give them the 30% fee.

So, because Apple, in an authoritarian way, does not let you use your own property in this way, without a 30% fee paid to them, this is similar to another example of Microsoft not allowing you to install anything at all on your home PC, without paying them a 30% fee.

I felt this way for a while, but I’d like to offer another angle: maybe it’s like saying “Every company eventually hires tall people. Some have no tall people, but it’s just a matter of time. Tall people are really an unstoppable force.” The missing piece is also observing short people (ad-free offerings), which you’d notice are not being eliminated, are also prevalent, and also “infect” everything. I think the unstoppable force being felt here is just statistics: ads are often an option, companies make a lot of decisions, it’s statistically inevitable that some of those will be ads, unless the company has some strong aversion to ads, which most don’t.
Author here. Publishing this post brings us no pleasure. I originally had that in a footnote and then moved it up after seeing these comments.

One might say that because we’re a mock interview platform, publishing this post is self-serving. The reality is that we take no joy in this content. Ever since hiring freezes and layoffs have started dominating the news cycle, we’ve lost about half of our interview volume, many of the prominent employers who were hiring through us as recently as Q2 of this year have paused. So, trust us, we’d much rather be writing about something else while living in a hiring boom. And look, whether we want to see it or not or whether we have vested interest in publishing it or not, the data is the data, and the data doesn’t care. Realistically, neither will the employers who are still interviewing and hiring.

Apple runs a bunch of crap through a tax loophole in Ireland. Should they be trusted running the entire mobile ecosystem that underpins all of this in the first place? I actually agree that shady companies shouldn't be swept under the rug. But I don't agree with the hypocrisy of singling out some random CA for doing things that most every other company out there does because we lack the backbone as a society to put a stop to the shadiness.
Butter (sometimes other oils when necessary) and cast iron is all I have used for decades now. I jumped on the cast iron train around the age of 18 and have never used anything but cast iron since. In fact, I still use the same cast iron pots/pans I initially acquired 12 years ago. Cast-iron is surprisingly non-stick/easy to clean and damn near indestructible when responsibly used and maintained properly.

Plus, you can put cast iron pots & pans in the oven, over a modest open flame (like a campfire), etc..
I mean. Yes, you're pwned. You need to reflash all possible firmware, dd your disks to zeros and start again.. I wouldn't even trust it then, personally.

What's the IP address it was talking to? Maybe we can help find out what it was?
I do also really like Go for various reasons, and have been working on a Go -> C++ transpiler and associated ECS libs to make a personal game project with. I used it to make a game for Raylib game jam earlier this year too: https://github.com/nikki93/raylib-5k You can see what the development workflow looks like in this video (the ECS stuff also has a built-in editor like a much more minimal version of Unity's): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8He97Sl9iy0

I'm trying to decide how much time I should devote to making this easier to set up / use by other people in the medium term, since it's just a side project for me. Might make a codespaces template so it's quick to get started.
The lack of bs website overhead on craigslist is honestly impressive. RAW HTML BABY!
we'll see how visas are being used up this year. my guess is with all the hiring freezes/layoffs there could be plenty available in '23
You can still have those while opening up the device a bit more for enthusiasts. For example, Apple currently limit the number of sideloaded app to 3 apps total as well as 10 apps/week limit, and you'll have to re-sign the app after a week too. Relaxing that rule alone will greatly open up the device.
Thanks for all the comments and inputs. I have added the suggestions that we plan to implement: https://github.com/memgraph/memgraph/issues/689.

Both on Memory usage tracking and precise data on load/input.

Regarding scale, we are aware of the issue, listed in limitations: https://github.com/memgraph/memgraph/tree/master/tests/mgben.... Next versions will probably have a billion nodes/relationships.

Actually, Neo4j is particularly slow on writes, import/load times were 50x faster on Memgraph, but we didn't show it. Will do it in the next version for all vendors.
Let's agree. Apple, then, should not be trusted either.
> ultra-religious conservatives

I noted that. Same objection. Conservatives are not evil. Democrats are not evil. The ideological extremes in these schools of thought are represented by a very small minority, just like the ideological extremes in any religion.

We need to get away from hating people by attaching labels to them. The vast majority of Trump and Biden voters are the same people, with the same problems in life and the same dreams and hopes. The only people who work hard to divide us are the politicians. They need you to hate the other side and vote for them. They need division, not unity. By characterizing people with labels such as "ultra religions conservatives" (and equivalent labels on the other side) and then applying blanket negative qualities to entire groups labeled this way all we do is provide fuel for politicians to divide us further.

This, in my opinion, is one of the most egregious negative results of social media. It has provided political masterminds with the tools necessary to divide the population with amazing granularity and drive votes based on the hundreds, if not thousands, of categories they are able to provide.

While all of this happens we lose sight of what really matters. Politicians have been talking about fixing healthcare, education, jobs, etc. for a century, and here we are. If they actually were in the business of getting things done (rather than gathering votes) none of these issues would exist today. That's the great lie. That's what people need to wake-up to. We divide. They win. They do none of the things we all care about and need them to actually get done.

Do not label, subgroup and vilify people. This is unfair and inaccurate. It is no different from applying the average to an entire population, which sounds great and yet it is one of the worst mistakes (or lies) anyone could make in statistics.
Lurk Lab @ Protocol Labs | Multiple Positions | REMOTE | Full-time

Lurk Lab is building Lurk (https://github.com/lurk-lang), a Turing-complete programming language for recursive zk-SNARKs. Lurk implements a minimal Lisp whose program executions can be proved in zero-knowledge, yielding succinct proofs that are concretely small and fast to verify. Lurk uses a Rust implementation (https://github.com/lurk-lang/lurk-rs) for expression evaluation, proving, and verification, with Nova (https://github.com/microsoft/Nova/) as its proving backend. Because Lurk is Turing-complete, it can be used to make and prove arbitrary computational claims (within resource limits).

We are looking for strong cryptography engineers, researchers, functional programming language specialists, applications developers, and start-up leaders/web3 entrepreneurs who want to build next-generation SNARK technology.

Ideal candidates will be knowledgeable about the state of the art in zero-knowledge proofs and (if looking for an engineering position) strong in Rust.

We are specifically hiring for:

- Rust Cryptography Engineers

- zk-SNARK Researchers and Engineers

- Functional Programming Language Specialists

- Software Engineers for Lurk Applications

- Documentation Engineers

- A Business Lead and/or COO

If you are interested in any of these roles, email luke.sandquist@protocol.ai with CV and a brief cover letter.

Sending any amount of ETH it costs between $0.01 (on the Loopring network) and $0.46 on the Ethereum mainnet (with the most popular layer 2 network, Arbitrum, costing $0.02).

So not quite there to send 1c micropayments, especially since sending USDC would instead cost something like 2x-3x more, but not inconceivable that it might get there on newer layer 2 networks which do more aggressive batching (using proof techniques called STARKs and SNARKs).

There are some other networks, such as Solana where transactions are effectively free (though even very small fractions of a cent add up for an algorithm): https://solanabeach.io/transactions

I did not say anything about stupidity. Nobody has the time, energy and even financial means to individually tackle all the issues out there. Putting the burdens on consumers is an excuse used by companies to externalize costs to the buyer, plain and simple.

Can it work to identify vulnerabilities? For instance, if you feed it code and ask it to find the vulnerability and provide a description of the issue?

The difference is both sides want that gas to keep flowing (for the time being at least).

Both sides don't want China to take over the technology to produce state of the art chips and control the distribution of those chips. And in case of a war, no way is china continuing to sell those chips to the US defense dept. The profit is negligible compared to their strategic value. Different goals will produce a different result.

This was very common in my extended family in rural North Carolina. Most of my cousins didn't attend college, partnered up quickly, and started families. Not always in that precise order . . .

Honestly, I think for them it just wasn't that odd in their community. I grew up in a more suburban area and the baby boom was definitely a few years later comparatively speaking.

I have several aunts and uncles who are great-grandparents and in the 60-70 year old range.
