I graduated in 09.

* It's easier to get a job if you already have a job. It's okay to take a shitty job as long as you don't get complacent about it.

* Gaps get stressed by job seekers in advice requests because it is a question that can make you look bad. However, if you are actually at an interview, they are fishing for bad dealbreakers not minor imperfections. Don't worry to much about it.

* If you get hired via a staffing agency, you could be cut at any time arbitrarily. I once got laid off 24 hours after signing a contract renewal. Keep as good an emergency fund as you can manage.

* Unemployment benefits are not charity, it is insurance that you pay for out of your wage. Dont let pride or shame convince you not to use it.

* Network aggressively and be likeable. You never know when that linkedin connection from a shit job 3 years ago will throw you a bone. I know everybody on HN really likes their leetcode but if you have an inside reference, the interview is reduced to just a vibe check.

* There are grades of recruiters and higher grade jobs tend to be assigned to higher grade recruiters. The guys sending you irrelevant callcenter gigs on the other side of the country can be ignored as they are just playing the numbers game too, but if a recruiter advertises something decent to you the least you should do is reply with a "not right now but thanks". This results in a higher quality recruiter keeping you in their rolodex for later.

* Hire a professional resume writer for you. This goes not just for noobs, but also people who have been at the same gig for awhile and have not been through the hiring game recently.

* Cold applications are just a numbers game. Managers get 1000 applications for 1 seat. Yes, tune your resume/letter for the job, but don't spend too much time on it.

* If you are offboarding, just plagiarize Nixon's resignation letter if you can't write anything nice at all. In a fiery departure, your best case scenario is that nothing happens and your worst case is that somebody who likes you will no longer want to be your reference or whatever. Your first one will always feel bad, but people coming and going is just part of life and doesnt have to be a big deal.

This is one thing I wish the US government did more of. One of the few things I can envy about Europeans. It's taxpayer money, so let us see.

After watching it, I ended up watching a lot of other art related educational content, but none that I liked as much as this.

Regexstepper - takes an ordered list of regexs & repeatedly runs them against a corresponding ordered replacement list and ordered sample list until no further replacements are found. Used it to learn about stepping through PEMDAS simplification on various math iexpressions & attempts at combinatorial systems. Wrote it once years ago learning about PEMDAS then decided to delete it because JS cannot do at matching of arbitrary depth matching braces without parsing into an AST ala shunting yard, then learned about combinators & decided to try again to try and find systems that work without parentheses.
I know this dead horse has probably been beaten beyond recognition, but I think the safest option that still preserves some convenience for password management is to stick a keepass database in your cloud storage provider (icloud/dropbox/whatever).

Some keepass compatible apps even offer full iOS integration (FaceTime unlock, Password AutoFill), so you don't lose these features you're used to with LastPass.
No disagreement, which is why it took decades of fighting to get those in power to put civil rights and gender equality on the priority list. It's the only reason we enjoy those things today. It's unfortunate that getting your issues into the public mind-share takes so much time and work but that's the truth of it. If you don't "stay in the news cycle" people forget. And so there are people who are actively biased (like you mention later) but when it comes to this kinda stuff is just more that certain issues have more people pushing for them. There's just not a movement of men pushing for mental health resources, if anything it's women pushing for it with the "men need therapy" meme going around.

So yes, absolutely these things can be a reflection of people's biases but in no way whatsoever is the example you mention a "socially acceptable prejudice." Recognizing that that the thing we call the patriarchy creates systems that privilege men does not ever imply "and so the solution is to actively hurt men and deprive them of necessary care."
Thanks for the explanation! I can see how my nitpick wasn't right then, either. I'm going to make an edit noting that.
Great read — the author should feel proud. This made my morning.

Better Search in Visual Studio
Technically you can. You just have to flow back down a different one to the source again.

The professional analogy would be quitting a 9-5 to do you own thing, building it up, getting acquired, and then repeating the process.
It hangs for me pretty easily when I run my own code on it. Feature wise, it's definitely XP or better. I just wish it was rock solid. There are constant bugfixes, at some point it should tip the balance and stop crashing. For it to crash, it must be in the kernel code, so while large, it's not an inhuman task to fix it. "Not crashing" is a lower bar than "perfect compatibility".

There aren't that many developers working on it though. I wish some company would adopt it and run with it, like how Wine really took off after Codeweavers.
Well that's a change. When I served the military would actively fight addiction problems, sometimes to an extreme. As an example one of the people I served with had a drinking problem. He was put in the brig and had to crawl on all fours pushing a beer can around the complex with his nose all day, every day. This was extreme but so was his BAC. The alternate option I heard a couple colonels arguing for was a court-martial and dishonorable discharge.

I can see the benefit to keeping the gambling addiction losses in-house but encouraging money problems and then punishing people for said money problems seems a bit like an artificially created circular problem.

MWR programs are supposed to be beneficial, not detrimental. Get them some video game consoles. Buy them all VR setups and require {n} hours of physically demanding games and game scores. It's probably less cost than the fallout from gambling addiction. VR combat training rigs, like ARMA on steroids but actually causes pain when you get hit. Surely someone here in the HN world could fund such a thing. Provide time-off and money to the top tier contestants of the VR simulators.

Oh and don't limit this to combat simulation. Implement medical training, surgical training, electrical training, construction, military vehicle repair, flight training like X-plane on steroids, space flight training like Avorion on steroids, recce training, weapon repair training, etc... Let them explore skill-sets they and the military were unaware they had.

I'm sure horse and sparrow economics[0] will start working any day now...

0. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trickle-down_economics Mr. David Stockman has said that supply-side economics was merely a cover for the trickle-down approach to economic policy—what an older and less elegant generation called the horse-and-sparrow theory: "If you feed the horse enough oats, some will pass through to the road for the sparrows."
No, I'm quite the outsider to the community having only been involved in the game for a few years (besides as a teenager when it was released) and working alone.

The project in question --a platform for AoE2 multiplayer /w general game improvements-- is currently under development, although the core game/MP has been functional for over a year now and our little beta-testing group plays regularly.
So is LastPass, but we users changed our passwords in December anyway as a precaution. Bitwarden is still a central entity that needs to be trusted to manage the zero knowledge platform with competence, e.g. not storing unencrypted metadata in a backup.
Hopefully these self-brick less than HomePod 1!
… yeah so that was a thing that bothered me, "human batteries… like… even if that was possible, there's no way even billions of people could generate as much power as a handful of nuclear reactors… a more sensible idea would be if they were using our brains as CPUs in a massive network, like [spoiler] in Hyperion…"

And years later, I learned that was exactly what the earlier drafts of the script said. They changed it because the studio execs thought the audience would find the concept confusing.
I’m just going to answer this last part:

> How did they manage to get the engineering talent when seemingly FB, MS, Netflix, Amazon, Google are all fighting for that talent?

China is both a huge labor market along with the largest mobile phone market in the world. Add to that fact that the great firewall has created a parallel internet, it’s been fairly inevitable that China will end up with some tech giants. Even with all the money that American tech giants have, they are at a disadvantage when it comes to tapping the massive labor market and consumer market within China.

Note that the same thing is happening with EVs. In ten years, the auto market will have several dominant Chinese automakers a la what happened with Germany and Japan in the 70s and 80s.
Yes, and downloading such a release-versions gives me an installation with codename Nightly, not a stable version. Even the version-number is newer.

China is of course the best in copying the west, but I don't know much details.

Alex Gladstein is writing a new book about this huge problem, as the latest good books about it he found were in the 70s.
The ‘Insider information’ framework needs to be updated for the modern world.

Hedge funds tracking parking lots with low orbit satellites have more insider information than any official channel.

Even tweeting information to the whole world simultaneously can breach II rules when it doesn’t really apply since it automatically puts everyone on more equal footing.
I have the same advice that I have during booms: get a job and save money. The only difference is that it will take longer to find work and it might not be your dream job. That's ok. Lives are long. New opportunities will come your way.
That’s a good argument immediately following World War II prior to the decades of global economic integration and ICBM development. Less so today.

Now it is very much our business what is going on in Asia, particularly since the risk is the subjugation of our allies by a totalitarian regime. It is better to have a strong and independent Taiwan, a strong Japan and strong Korea and even strong Philippines and Vietnam to counteract a strengthening PLA Navy, but we also want them to not be hostile to the USA, and we also want it to cost the PRC to even think nukes are the easy way to check the ambitions of their immediate neighbors. That does mean keeping our military promises to Taiwan, Korea and Japan. Simply put, there is no World from where we stand today where unchecked-by-us PRC ambition is an acceptable path forward.
You're assuming the application of logic and critical thinking.
Reading the comments here makes me wonder why any of you use MS Windows. Is there something that all of you must have that only runs on Windows?
We do use the privacy APIs (when available) for requests, but we also extract schemas + data points from each silo for PII scanning and data mapping.
I agree that separating them makes sense.
What's happened in practice is that "carbon footprint" has become almost synonymous with environmental impact as a whole from a responsibility point of view, leading to poor behavior from companies and governments alike for a lack of public pressure.
It's good, but most of the wealth of this labor will not go to Kenya, and it'll be huge.
So in that perspective not so great.
It's was on purpose. Americans traditionally don't like the idea of a standard, mandatory national ID. But SSNs have basically been re-appropriated to serve that purpose, to get around that, despite them being explicitly listed as "not intended as a means of general identification."
When looking at resumes that have come through, it is really easy to identify the ones that came from a mass application vs. the ones where the person read the job description.

If there is limited time to review or interview candidates resulting in some not getting moved further along, one of the easy early filters is to not consider the ones that came in from a third party easy apply and don't match the format expected by the ATS (if they even got that far).

It is fine to use linked in, dice, Glassdoor and whatever else to discover companies that may have jobs listed. However preference should always be given to applying on the company page itself with a resume that indicates that you read the position requirements.
Good point; in the olden days of prolog only the SLD search strategy came out of the box, and you had to roll your own if you wanted others. However, happily a lot of the tabled programming research from the XSB prolog group (and others) has osmosed out into the mainstream prolog implementations by now.
I’ve been using the keepass ecosystem for years after switching from 1password. It’s open source, highly portable, and you don’t need a degree to set it up.
That's a very bloggable story. :-)
Yep lets take a reasomable commenter and call him a Nazi! What fun it is to strawman people on the internet
Games of skill that also incorporate chance are somewhat helpful for developing this. Unfortunately a lot of those games are also closely associated with gambling (e.g. Bridge, Poker, Backgammon), which is perhaps something we don't want to encourage.

I find deckbuilding games to be decent examples of this. At relatively close skill levels a bad draw can be the difference between winning and losing. It still takes a certain level of introspection to figure that out. Almost all elementary-school aged kids will conflate success with skill, even in games that are pure chance.
Come off it. This isn't 2001 anymore. Corpos dominate tech in every facet. Data harvesting has never been more egregious and rampant. This data can and has been used (read weaponized) in ways nobody could have predicted. It's important we cover our asses and wash our hands when we make decisions about long term projects. To dismiss these concerns and opinions as crazy is disingenuous or at worst borderline malicious.
Reverse engineering (which is not actually something I particularly enjoy doing frankly)
It's mixed. From my personal observations the more junior folks and the people less up to date on the discourse around unlimited PTO are happier, but people who are aware of the knock-on effects on company culture, pressure to deliver, etc. are unhappy.
Of course they will.

Also, remember that, afaik, the price in the US on Apple's website does not include any taxes, whereas in Europe it includes VAT, which can be up to 25% depending on the country.

I see the new Macbook Pro 14" starts at $1,999. Here in the UK it starts at £2,149 (or $2,200 in USD without the 20% VAT), and in France EUR2,399 (or $2,160 in USD without the 20% VAT). So it's not outrageously different.

Consider also the price of an iPhone and how many they sell.
In 1Password there's at least a half dozen ways that drag and drop could be used:

- Drag a password into a password field

- Drag an attachment from Finder/Explorer into an item

- Drag an item from vault to vault (or collection in Bitwarden parlance)

- Drag an item into a tag or folder to add that item to the folder, or add that tag to the item

- Drag an app to the 1Password icon to create a software license item with the icon of the app as well as name

There are also drag and drop functions, some similar to above, on iOS as well.

Bitwarden is... and I agree with the grand parent here, awful from a UX angle, compared to 1Password. It's certainly functional, but that's about where it ends for me.

> What Gemini is doing, is saying “we don’t need no videos, images, stylesheets, nor JavaScripts, because we want to have a lightweight web experience, so we throw all that crap out!”. Fine, sounds great. But why does it require a new protocol for that? Why couldn’t one simply build on top of existing HTTP infrastructure, throw away all the baggage and instead implement a new Content-Type, which existing browsers then could parse?

This is misleading. We could install a lot more renewables and limit their penetration to 80% and avoid the hard problems for quite a while while also reducing CO2 output massively. Ireland has had such penetration Limits for a long time and is gradually relaxing them.

The UK is also more difficult, being a smaller grid. Several national grids in the EU are operating at higher levels for significant hours as they "use" the stability of their neighbors. We can gain experience with new tech gradually that way.

The reason we're not building more renewables in the EU is _not_ dynamical instability. The reasons are mostly regulatory and political right now. Grid capacity extensions lagging behind due to nimbyism and onshore wind is stimied by strict location rules. Permits often take a long time, etc...

Economic incentives are also misaligned due to the lack of nodal pricing.

It's wrong to suggest nothing is being done. It's also wrong to suggest that we couldn't do more.
I hope you've seen this then: https://ciechanow.ski/mechanical-watch/
I tend to agree with this notion.

Instead of dealing with the fact that humans do and produce tons of awful shit, we just do our best to ignore it and pretend human nature is better than it is.

This is delusion on a grand scale and it's hard to find examples in the historical record of good things ultimately coming from lots of people acting in the world while being divorced from reality.

Blind has predicted 5 of the last 3 layoffs.
I understand the sentiment and there's certainly a logical and valid case for it. But I disagree with it and here's why:

1) The secular trend in falling interest rates and "low" interest rates will continue longer term. Raising rates rapidly has been disruptive but it also gives some breathing room and the ability to slowly lower rates again, which will be needed to stimulate demand again. Lower interest rates obviously impact asset prices as borrowing becomes cheaper so you can borrow more.

2) 40-year fixed rate mortgages will be a think soon. This will increase many asset prices and allow people to continue to participate in buying real estate and generating wealth over time. This is a massive priority to the government because home owners are one of the most valuable things a government can have as they generate property taxes and give people skin in the game which means continued support of the regime. This impacts real estate assets because the monthly payment is lower which means you can pay more for things using cheaper money.

3) The rapid inflation we saw had nothing to do with low interest rates, at least not on their own. It was 100% because of the pandemic and how we reacted to it. Lots of liquid money was pumped into the system and this is the important part - it was liquid. Also, our entire supply line and logistics structure was optimized for a certain existence and the pandemic disrupted all of that. Suddenly money was being spent on different things and it has created all sort of supply and demand problems. This is beginning to smooth out and by 2025 I expect the effects of the pandemic on inflation will be gone. This means we can resume the secular trend of generally lowering interest rates long term.
and they aren’t wrong to do so.

Browser plug-in author gets bored and sells out customer base is a well tread story.

Takeovers of well known packages are another.

Most of these ecosystems do not offer proper sandboxing for the things we take from them, so it’s easy for things to grow an appendage that abuses our prior assumptions.

> "do you want to take voluntary redundancy?"

That seems like a trick question to me.
Correct. There are only ~ 11 million child labourers in India. Nothing to see here, move along.
Cool points for child labor yo. So because people are in terrible situations, I should actively seek that out to exploit it? Man, these kids have no other choice, better get my cheap labor while I can! Why not even free labor if possible?[1]

Same arguments were used for slave labor. How are they going to take care of themselves? Might as well just keep them as slaves. What are we going to do, pay them?

Child labor has been used by just about every major fashion brand in the world, not just to "make bricks for their village"... If that's the extent of what you think child labor is, might want to check out some books or do some googling. Here's just one to get you started: [2].

BitWarden doesn't get "complete access to your digital life", they get an encrypted blob.

It's not materially different than storing your KeePass vault in the cloud.
Not at the moment. It resides on a document on my hard-drive.

Just to share one idea that I almost took to completion and then dropped - It was a few years ago and Slack was the top collaboration suite. I had an idea for building a unified chat/messaging tool to integrate text, images, audio, video in a single collaborative tool. I used IPFS to keep the data distributed on the peer nodes (i.e., completely serverless and p2p). Microsoft Teams had just launched. I dropped the idea knowing fully well that Teams would soon surpass Slack (and sure enough they did recently).

A good thing that came out of that was I used the video part of the tool to pivot to a different product.
That's how it's working, many companies have developers in low-cost areas, and they definitely aren't paying them USA-level salaries, often not even USA-minimum wage.

Developer salaries even in such countries tend to be far better than $2/h, but that's explicitly because western companies like these "were hiring developers there instead", if they weren't, the developer salaries there would match the local market and be even lower.
