Surprisingly people often pay you what others are willing to pay you.

Boring personal story:

I was working at company A. I was worried about my future - boring work - not bleeding edge. It was my opinion right or wrong.

I went looking for a new job. Company B was excited about me after the interview.

Company A found out. Company A then gave me a raise. Best raise I had received since working there.

Company B offered me 10% over Company A raise amount.

2 years later Company C offered me 15% over what Company B was paying me.

Then 2 years later I took a job making less money but much less hours and better healthcare etc.

Not sure these days how much of a salary offer is based on your salary history?

End point is by taking other job, would you be able to come back to possibly the same company doing the same job but for more, because some other company was willing to pay you so much more?

Foreigners go into graduate study for the green card, not because of some massive fascination with the field. Local kids have no need for academia where you are paid poverty wages unless they are truly interested (professional degrees and and MBAs being the exception) or are looking to obtain a tenureship.
I get interviews with "coding challenges all. the. time. IDK why, I'm a Linux systems engineer, not a programmer.

But I constantly keep getting jerks wanting btree sorts that are like a college exam or take home challenges that assume I have industry type applications on my home network. No, folks, I don't run containers and terraform infra in my personal network. When I have to spend three hours to install a dodgy application just to start your janky "8 hour project" I lose all the enthusiasm I had for your job.

"The 1619 project" purports to demonstrate that the primary motivation behind the American Revolution was to preserve slavery in the 13 colonies. But this conclusion is false, not supported by the evidece. And, interestingly, some of the best rebuttals of it were published by the World Socialist Web Site, a Trotskyist publication:

Pascal is type safe and generally catches most errors at compile time, you can still create run-time errors such as indexes outside arrays but these will cause errors not bad return data.

eg I use C a lot and find myself referencing array index [0] a lot, in pascal arrays starts at [1] if not specifically defined so I know this from experience, frustratingly I have a different problem in C which will either return random data or crash if writing.

That’s true now, because most of the critical systems have redundancy. I wouldn’t want to drive a vehicle with one brake circuit and no throttle return spring, though. It has been a very long time since that was the case, but those days are probably where the mechanical failure horror stories come from.
That’s my point: talking in a absolutes gets us nowhere, because the world is messy and value is in nuance. Absolute free speech being a singularity, the point is that there ought to be some kind of regulation, the amount of which is a work in progress.
So the answer is yes, and no.

is a good starting point. But there are a bunch of buses on a modern car, some of them are critical, some less so. Some are firewalled off, others are open.

As you know you can get access to a lot of the car's inner workings by plugging into the ODB2 port. Its perfectly possible to brick some cars by fuzzing the ODB2 port.

In principle, most things in cars _should_ fail safe. even if they are electric or talking over a bus of somesort.

Also, if you liked CRADLE, I recommend MOTHER OF LEARNING by nobody103, Iron Prince by Bryce O'Connor (first book is out, second book comes out in 2023), and Arcane Ascension series by Andrew Rowe. All three of those are fantastic and in the vein of progression fantasy like Cradle!

My education was engineering, but I took plenty of science classes as accessories to some neuroscience research I did. Also, the art school was next to the engineering department, and I took advantage of this by taking art classes all along as an outlet for stress.

I had multiple memorable conversations (anecdotal evidence, and potentially b.s. at that) with very successful folks in both pure art and pure science that suggested they are actually very similar at a fundamental level. I say pure in that these folks had spent lifetimes producing public art projects or research from grants. They only taught as a byproduct of their passions.

The idea-generation phase of both industries essentially runs along the same tracts/fascicles/etc. in the brain. I even had a more eccentric professor suggest that the cutting edge of the art world actually mirrors that of science in that the same discoveries are conceptualized in tandem.
Thanks, it is important for people to know this. In this article 5 tables are pulled into CTEs which aren’t marked as not materialized.

It wasn’t the point of the example, but the default is scary, leading to disabling all indexes for the query once it gets more layers.
Maybe I'm overthinking this but this seems kind of an odd takeaway, and bringing it front and center is a bit of slight of hand. You're refuting a claim that's not in the headline but I guess what you think a reader's next logical step would be?:

Finding: Facebook makes already depressed people more depressed -> Claim: Facebook makes undepressed people depressed. The 2nd is not claimed, the first is the result and I think facebook has a lot of do with this.
Most EFI still has a mechanical throttle, so if there is a glitch in the EFI it can’t possibly cause unintended acceleration. Only fairly new cars now have electronic throttle that could potentially accelerate the engine due to a software glitch.

* Matter and Thread I don't know if it's a good smarthome standard, but it looks like it will be the smarthome standard, and just having it will be pretty great.

* Perfect day foods. They make casein with of modified yeast. Much more interesting than lab grown meat, because plant based meats are good already and plant based cheese is abhorrent slime. Giving up meat is the easy part, it's dairy and leather that are hard.

* The various companies making noninvasive biosensors, like Rockley Photonics. Eventually watches will be able to sense blood glucose and other things, and machine learning will tell us how well we are eating and exercising.

At the moment fitness and nutrition are kind of scary. You do stuff generally thought to be healthy and... wait a year to see what it did? Am I excercising enough? Have I cut enough sugar? Aside from keeping a healthy weight effects are rather delayed. Realtime feedback would be powerfully motivating and help you do stuff that actually works. Maybe we can even scan for cartilige damage to make sure we don't overdo it.

* Jami. Seems to be one of the very most promising P2P apps, and one of the only active modern ones that seems practical.

* Solid PODS. Looks like an absolutely wonderful tech for the future of the web, I don't know why it's not constantly swarming with attention.

* IPFS. Sadly not now, it hogs 30-120KB of data a second sitting idle and is still based on the insanity of flooding a DHT with every copy of every chunk of every file as the default setting, but it's big and popular and not a blockchain, maybe they will solve the efficiency issues.

I hope so, I'm tired of BitTorrent being the only way to share large files practically, it has no partial update feature. But I mostly ignore and check every year or so.
I didn't say they send it within sizing app, I said they can match it with data (breast photos) from the sizing app which they send to third party (probably should use there comma after "number" to distinguish them), since they collect these (under other circumstances):

I agree, I think so many teams are filled with 20 somethings with a 30 yo boss, no one really likes hiring someone twice their age.
And how does this number compare to the number of people who refused to take precautionary measures such as masking and vaccines due to Twitter echo chamber, and then died of COVID? Very sad, and I feel so bad for those people and their kids.

Ah fair enough. I think I went into the book knowing that already so I enjoyed it. I think I’d either recently visited Venice or went shortly after reading the book so it resonated with me. I think if I was going into the book expecting a standard novel then I would be disappointed.

Dealerships routinely violate CANbus isolation with junky "add-ons" full of security holes and wireless interfaces directly attached to important buses. Every single manufacturer that cares at all about bus integrity should be doing message signing and that's where CANBus simply doesn't work. The bandwidth is far too low for good schemes (leading to custom implementations) and there are no decent standards for hardware vendors to implement, which means more of the already-limited CPU budget has to be allocated to it.

I lost a contract position in September. I'm a Linux Admin guy who does DevOps with Ansible. I've mostly worked in Enterprise environments. I took a job in March with a Federal contractor and I ran into some difficulties getting up to speed with Terraform and a mac devops environment. I've always developed on Linux in the past.

There were, and still are a ton of recruiters hitting me up. Most of them are garbage, probably 95%. I still feel like a broke the salt circle by telling people I was actively looking for a new opportunity.

I have a family and need insurance for one of my daughters with special needs, so I went hard at interviewing. It took a solid 6 months, but I had half a dozen offers for Sysadmin work that met the pay I needed.
The hardest part about comparing offers is the benefits... Different copays, deductibles, OOP max, and premiums. Also different pay schedules can make it difficult to compare premiums. Then you have waiting periods...

I ended up with an excellent opportunity and I've been super impressed, but it was a rough 6 weeks.

The majority of offers I received were from companies I applied to directly. I had some I cut short in early interview phases because I started my new job. Stability trumps the chase for afew more dollars.
The market is still good, but remote hiring is slow, although in person wasn't really much faster at most companies.
If you have accumulated multiple (even low single digit multiples) millions of dollars and have that reasonably invested you should be easily able to retire to a low cost of living area and work on solo online business ideas. It's definitely FU level money for most people, more than most will ever earn in a lifetime.

On the other hand, perhaps living such a frugal lifestyle is contributing to your burnout. Not suggesting you need to throw all caution to the wind but taking some vacations/travels, or working with an interior designer to have a really nice welcoming place to come home to could make a difference.

I'm not following. This encryption model here is a master private key, so there's no master password involved. Are you referring to the generated passwords? If so, the default seems reasonably long (and is outside of age's scope anyways, since it's just the encrypted content).
That's what I expected going in, but after a few weeks the status changed to indicate further processing without any information. I eventually ended up missing my first semester and having to beg them to let them and my scholarship me defer a semester basically when the semester had basically started. I eventually got my visa suddenly after about 4-5 months with no communication during that time from anyone on that side.
Should add the freepascal community is much more forgiving of noobs and generally well behaved (trolls dont like quiche I guess!)
Terrible advice. One year of lazing around and playing videogames is a good way to lose any self-discipline you would been building up to this point. There is nothing toxic in working to improve yourself and/or building projects you are passionate about - quite the contrary. The feeling of accomplishment can do wonders to one's mental health.
Can you explain it? I am also struggling.
>I was laid off from one consulting company back in 2018 or so and had a new gig with more pay a week or so later. No leetcode or dev tests, just talking with people in phone interviews. It was a company I had previously done contract work for, and they called me, but nothing at the FAANG level.

There's your answer: consulting companies and contract works.

You have a different bubble compare to the LeetCode crowds. The Leetcode crowds tend to work for Product companies as a Full-Time employee in major Hi-Tech cities. Product, Full-Time, major Hi-tech cities, hit those 3 characteristics => higher chance of getting the Leetcode interview jackpot.

RavenDB does something similar, if there isn't an index for the query, it will create one for you. The difference is that this is a persistent structure, which is reused across multiple queries and invocations.
You're already ahead of most people interviewing.

My advice if you're currently prepping: Don't worry too much about hard problems. They're much more rare. While true you may get an interviewer who hasn't properly calibrated their question, but more often than not, it's easy or mediums. Invest your time into telling a convincing story about your previous experiences, the impact you made at companies, and how great it'd be to work with you.

During a downturn, Big Tech doesn't send out a memo to increase the difficulty of algo / DS questions. It's being more picky about culture fit, skill match, prior experience, recommendations from current staff, etc..

> What's wrong with plain old copy-and-paste?

Context awareness.

I currently have 429 items in my PM (it happens to be 1Password, specifically because it's extremely good at figuring this crap out). I almost never have to search for anything; even if I do, I can easily update the entry, so that it understands the context, in which a given credential can be valid; e.g. I can use my Blizzard login both on "https://battle.net", and in "app://sc2" (StarCraft 2). If I have a main+alt account, it will allow me to choose from the two, not 400+.

It's the same as with using contactless payments with a smartwatch, it saves you 10 seconds here, a minute there - and over the course of your day, day after day - it starts adding up.

> I think a user-friendly, secure, and reliable sync is the much more difficult part of implementing a good password manager.

CRDTs solve this problem quite generally. I've never tried actually implementing sync from scratch in a desktop/mobile app, but the theory behind CRDTs is quite easy to grasp and makes a lot of sense. I'd say it's quite a bit harder to sync plain, old files, because the only metadata you have available is things like names, access/modification times, etc and they tend to be huge binary blobs, like photos or music, so the problem of automatic conflict resolution gets quite interesting.

BTW look up Apple's CloudKit. I've done a "let's pretend we're on a 1990s Internet" challenge[1] a while ago, and it's amazing how reliably everything syncs, even if the devices are online for maybe 1% of the day.

All else equal, people with resume gaps are going to get sorted to the bottom of the pile. Maybe at the high end of the market, the FAANG staff level, there aren't enough applicants so it's not a big deal, and they'll get to those applications eventually. At the lower end of the market however, there's more competition and more likelihood that someone else from the top of the pile will get hired before they get down to the bottom.
