I haven't found a single website that this works for yet. It seems to mostly extract buzzwords and product names and remove all the context.

> GitHub is a platform that helps developers collaborate and build projects together. It offers a variety of tools, such as Actions, Packages, Security, Codespaces, Copilot and Code Review, to help developers write better code, manage code changes, plan and track work, and more. It also has solutions for Enterprise, Teams, Startups, and Education, as well as Open Source products like GitHub Sponsors and The ReadME Project. GitHub also provides Advanced Security features to help developers secure their code quickly and make sure their applications are compliant with regulations. Finally, GitHub also offers mobile apps, a developer API, and a variety of resources to help developers stay up-to-date with the latest developments.
In Romania, there is a wave of people installing their own electricity production in response to the higher prices.

This will reduce electricity demand, and therefore prices, including for other countries.

This is an example of government getting out of the way (and deciding against the former oligopoly of energy suppliers).

Every teenager who has ever had a job at a convenient store/fast food/restaurant/hotel/etc knows this. Enough of the population simply likes it because it keeps prices low for them, and maybe some of them justify it themselves by having been already subjected to it.

Some of the highly influential papers in the field of AI that could have been on the list include "Generative Adversarial Networks" by Ian Goodfellow et al., "Attention is All You Need" by Vaswani et al., "AlexNet: ImageNet Classification with Deep Convolutional Neural Networks" by Alex Krizhevsky et al., "Playing Atari with Deep Reinforcement Learning" by Volodymyr Mnih et al., "Human-level control through deep reinforcement learning" by Volodymyr Mnih et al., "A Few Useful Things to Know About Machine Learning" by Pedro Domingos, among many others.
A lot of it is for entertainment, even when it’s infotainment. News reporting, Wikipedia, current affairs podcast, Tweets, Reddit, Hacker News comments, etc. The inaccuracies here aren’t that important, because the vast majority of this content is just being consumed for dopamine hits and not actually putting the information to use.

Some of it is out of necessity. I don’t think it’s controversial to say that many people use Stack Overflow, and though some of the answers there are very good, others aren’t. If someone needs help with a specific problem they’ll often post a question somewhere (Reddit, Stack Overflow, etc.), and the quality of the answer they get is a roll of the die - even whether they’ll get an answer at all.

Some of it is because blog spam has made traditional searches much more difficult. There’s another comment that says that there are comments better than Reddit and Hacker News, but if you go into a discussion about Google you’ll find that a lot of people have been doing things such as appending “reddit.com” to searches because otherwise they’ll drown in a mountain of blog spam.
Nobody likes getting laid off. But it's weird to see all of these think pieces implying that once someone is hired into a job, that job should exist forever.

Things change. Company growth isn't monotonically increasing. Not all positions will exist forever. Joining a company was never a guarantee that you'd have a paycheck and work to do until you decided to leave.

Also, pointing out that companies that did layoffs had worse performance than those that didn't have layoffs is an impressive example of missing the point. Layoffs usually are a result of declining performance, not the cause of it.
I think I've encountered some nefarious discussions around obtaining SS7 bulk access endpoint and intercepting SMS?
Can't we have an automated C++ to Rust converter (with full correctness), and then add a pass of GPT3 to transform it into something readable (only correctness-preserving transformations allowed).
And it’s just one of many ways people can come to realize this over time.

I’ve been fortunate enough to avoid the experience of layoffs, but learned the same lesson by pouring too much of myself into a role and burning out.

Until you’ve directly experienced the reasons work isn’t a family, etc. it can be hard to avoid falling into the trap of thinking that it is.

I would also say that most takes on this are a bit too binary, and some of my longest lasting and strongest friendships came from past jobs. I think the key to use work as an opportunity to establish those relationships instead of a ready-made support system, and not extending the personal aspect of those relationships into workplace behavior (e.g. doing more work because it’s “family”).

Packet capture on Linux has something that I wish I could get in more systems: kernel timestamping. This increases the accuracy of the timestamps a lot, since you lose the context switch to userspace.

I wish the same thing was available for i2c and uart reads, for example.

Hi. Thanks.

They do, but as I usually buy from BookDepository they told me they cannot offer a refund.

It's in spanish but here's the quote:
"Sé que desconoces esta operación, pero vimos que es un comercio en el que tienes consumos frecuentes relacionados a continuación: 53215***"

MercadoLibre is a bit shady when it comes to disputes. I had a problem a while ago with another payment from a purchase I cancelled and the seller reverted the payment, and they still have the money because the operation is marked as a chargeback, which takes 45 days to settle.
Anecdotal evidence to support what you're saying.

I had a large group of devs I used to hang out with. It was about 50/50 front-end and C, C++ guys. Over the last decade or so, every single C developer either transitioned to PHP like yourself, or went the full-stack JS route and have never looked back.

And it was all over the issues around dealing with legacy systems and the poor pay. One guy told me flat out he can make close to twice as much being a very in demand JS developer with great benefits and reasonable hours compared to the horror show of working in government (military) or finance.
Well, that’s not exactly a landing page. The tool does seem to have trouble with “this site requires JavaScript” banners though.
While I agree with this perspective, these companies go out of their way to market to their employees to make the job their whole identity. They are not blameless.
> Writing new C++ code with all the modern approaches and tooling doesn't sound so bad.

Uh, but it still kinda sucks, if only because the nice way that looks idiomatic is usually the incorrect way for either performance (anything newly added like std::variant or std::optional) or safety (operator[]).

The correct way is usual the ugly way, because it seems like the committee puts C++ arcanum knowledge above all else, instead of developer satisfaction or maintainability
> it would be consistent to choose bing or DDG while searching from your web browser running on OpenBSD/riscv64. Just confuse the hell out of the bad guys.

As a bit of a joke I used one of those browser fingerprint tools running on a browser under OpenBSD/macppc. The entire setup was completely unique, they had never encountered another user that matched. It would confuse the bad guys, but it’s very easy to track.
I don’t think layoffs change people’s desire to work at a top hi-tech company.
Point is that more cash is flowing from the Government to the private sector with every increase in interest rates by the fed. This is an indisputable fact. Since federal debt is at an all time high, this policy is pumping allot of money into the economy and stimulating it which is the opposite of what is intended.
You can't pay me enough to go back to writing c++ code.

I despise the language, 80% of my time is spent figuring out how to beat it into submission to get it to do what I want, which leaves very little brain power left over for designing well architected software.

Modern languages get easy access to a large number of powerful design tools, C++ I have the same tools but it's stuck behind an interface (headers, the build system) originally made in the 70s.
There are three claims in that, which are you contesting?

Paranoia is hard to suss out between public statements that sound paranoid - "NATO is coming to get us!" style stuff - and genuine private paranoia. This one might be the hardest to prove.

"Putin's fault" is fairly hard to argue against without quite a bit of logical contortion.
This website helps you do something on your computer or device. It uses a program called JavaScript to help you do it. You need to turn on JavaScript in order to use the website.
Personally, I would love to code in C++ but most projects are Python these days. I spent most of my career as a C++ generalist, along with doing a bit of graphics work.
At a certain level, this tends to be balanced with severance. "Garden leave" is different from "I can't get a job".

No kidding, and furthermore it's as if they don't take a second to consider scalability, yield, commodity-market efficiency, and labor-force.
It annoys me in the UK how people claim that "Tommy who 'does up houses' and flips them or rents them out" is a "working class builder", where as Billy isn't working class because he types on a keyboard.

In the UK working people, especially those earning above minimum wage, are taxed far more than the capitalists of the world like Tommy who can structure his income to pay just 30% marginal taxes rather than 60% plus.
Obvious shill post is obvious
Ideally I would prefer working using a language that I am most comfortable with like Nim. The interface with C++ is pretty good. It's also easy to learn and onboard into a team. Wish it was more popular.
I do Number Sense right now!
To me as someone who recently got into Flutter to make a side-project (mobile game) the most glaring problem isn't the lack of ecosystem or little UI issues the author mentions but the language itself. You had a green field to make the best programming language for creating UIs and you made Dart? Like what.

I don't have particular issue with the heavy OOP paradigm but the fact you have to write so much boilerplate feeling code (Center here, Container there) you'd imagine you could have simplified it a lot more. The documentation itself also seems like it could be improved. And some little things here and there, like the constructor syntax. I dislike semicolons as well, to me they're just busy work.

Idk, you'd think an org like Google had the resources and the talent to make something truly amazing. Guess it just shows money can't buy everything. The tooling however is quite amazing. Being able to make cross-platform apps so simply is pretty awesome (React native was a pain in the butt the last time I tried it).
How is a single line feeding all registers not better? It's so frustrating being a busy store, getting in the best-looking checkout line, then finding out the person in front of you has decided they need to a price check/manager intervention/whatever at the register while all the people around you are passing you.

I wish more places would have just a single line (although using self-checkout, if available often solves this problem as well).
Yes, and it pays 1/3 of what a similar Java or JS job pays.

You are incorrect in the last paragraph but that was already explained here. Try putting the files in the Linux file system and only using that.
Measuring growth or shrinkage by % seems like an obvious mistake. While I agree from my own anecdotal evidence this is true, the article doesn’t make any substantial case for this (and the quality is overall pretty poor).
My dream is to have an AI that automatically unwraps and de-clever's a codebase to something super simple. Completely unrealistic, but even a semi-manual tool I can use on complex chunks would be amazing.
The issue is that they didn't look closely at what their users / API consumers were actually doing. Even a cursory look at CI, packaging systems etc would have seen that those were expecting the hashes to be stable. If they'd done that early enough they might have been able to plan a transition to unstable hashes, or at least been able to emphasise the problem in documentation.
C++ is legacy. You can't just ignore the fundamentals.

Oh, and don't forget the classic tweet these clickbait bloggers love to quote from official Microsoft Cloud Man, Mark Russinovich......."C++ bad, Rust good".
I find it serves one better to deal with feelings directly. Going on such a long roundabout is a distraction. Do we really care about how large companies deal with their problems? Are we running one, do they depend on our judgment? I think not.

So, the more straightforward way is to realize that one has been fucked over. At first it doesn't matter who's responsible for that, just the fact that one feels that it happened, and that it feels like shit. Talking to people about that helps. It someone is worth their salt, they'll tell that this has always been the case - the one that cares about a person the most, and especially the one that can do the most, is the person themselves. And another important realization is that most of the time, this doesn't happen because of specific cruelty - most of the time, it's ignorance. The other party didn't care to consider the impact of their act, and that is normal. There's not enough energy to care about all. And even if we care, sometimes things must be done. Or we need to take part, even if we know the impact and don't want that.

I do believe that this all doesn't need to make one jaded and cynical all the time, about life and people. In fact I believe the opposite: that one needs to find a way to love all this, in spite of all of these things working in such a way. After all, to love, one needs to know. Because if one doesn't know, they don't know what they love in the first place.

Sure, but part of that, for men at least, is a direct financial benefit (the fatherhood bonus). Of course there's also the motherhood penalty. These things have to be factored into the equation.
Are there any limitations in the linux binaries that can run in the VM ? (statically linked only ?)
Re parallelism: I have 12 cores, and cargo indeed effectively uses them all. As a result, the computer becomes extremely sluggish during a long compilation. Is there a way to tell Rust to only use 11 cores or, perhaps, nice its processes/threads to a lower priority on a few cores?

I suppose it's not the worst problem to have. Makes me realize how spoiled I got after multiple-core computers became the norm.
And imagine still, that instead of a dog, it was an adult, and you shake hands agreeing to hire their skills in exchange for regular payment, but when their skills are someday no longer required or adequate, and that day will come, the payments will cease and they will have to peddle their skills elsewhere.
Maybe they’d have more luck hiring if they told a more accurate story.
There's a big difference between "things change" and "mass top-down layoffs are an effective way to adapt to change"!

Hehe - this website https://conradg.github.io/prompthack/index.txt

And this one:

"The phrase "cheese omelette" in French is "omelette au fromage". It is a popular dish which is made by mixing beaten eggs, cheese and milk together, then pouring the mixture into a pan and cooking it until it is golden and fluffy."

To be fair the original Toy Story animation does not hold up well at all.

I recall reading somewhere that the whole reason they went with toys as the main characters was because animation tech at the time made everything look like plastic anyways.
I don't know if I agree that "growing up" and "becoming bitter and cynical" are the same thing. Getting more bitter as you age might be something to work on with a therapist, not something to aspire to.
> Absolutely. Nearly everyone I know left college doe-eyed and ready to dedicate a piece of their soul to their shiny new job

When did you graduate college? In the social media era, the sentiment has been more about "fuck you, pay me" and "H.R. is not your friend" type ideology. This is especially true in recent years, where a lot of college graduates have been exposed to years of /r/antiwork in their daily Reddit browsing before they even get their first jobs.

A lot of juniors want to do good work and produce good results, but it's common for them to believe that corporations are evil, capitalism is a failed ideology, and that it's virtuous to minimize their labor input while maximizing their compensation. It can take a while to convince some of these new hires that as their manager, I'm a person too.
I've worked for Amazon and have friends that work for Meta. As much as it pains me to say it, I don't think that as a whole those who were laid off would make a very good company. There are exceptions, like I think Amazon made such heavy reductions in the Alexa org that there were probably some very competent engineers let go. But mostly the layoffs affected (1) HR and product, (2) low performers, and (3) people with very little political savvy. This doesn't sound like it would make a good company.
Why can't it happen?

Twitter has $13bn in debt on its balance sheet thanks to the ridiculous purchase price. Last week's bond payment of $300m is on its own, half of what their total net debt was pre-Musk ($600m)[0].

Twitter's revenue last year was $5bn. In a year's time it will probably be a fraction of even that; Twitter's user base isn't growing and isn't going to magically become more valuable in an economy where advertisers are cutting back on spending.

If there was a hammer that, held one way, drove nails perfectly in one blow, and held another, made it look like the nail was driven but actually broke it right at the junction so that the work pieces weren't fastened... I'd say that the second way was the wrong way to use that hammer.
The basic functionality of the typical UI hasnt changed for ages. Yet technologies keep churning. There is probably a better way but apparently people are not incentivised to find it.
I think you're saying the same thing as the GP. You might have parsed their comment incorrectly.
Hi everyone!

I made this site a few months ago but never properly launched it. TryAPIs lets you browse popular REST APIs, with built-in docs and an interface to call endpoints from your browser.

I generate a unique page for each API endpoint using Gatsby, like https://tryapis.com/spotify/api/endpoint-search for calling the Spotify search endpoint. Docs are built in by parsing the latest OpenAPI specs for each service.

If you don't want to call the endpoint from the browser, you can copy a cURL request or a code snippet in Python, Node, C, etc.

It's been cool to watch the site grow via SEO for the long-tail of API endpoints, currently getting ~1.2k clicks/month from Google.

No commercial plans for the site and I'll open-source it if there's enough interest. Could be a good way to add support for more APIs over time!

Cheers,

Dominic

I also suggest using Tab Session Manager. Sometimes I save a session and close everything and start working on a different project, but I know I can go back to my previous session and continue the previous project. I'm not afraid of losing any tabs because it also has an autosave.

I wonder (with no supporting data) if they are griping because in C++ they've created horrid technical debt that they have a hard time hiring people to maintain.
It's almost too good in that it finds a lot of song remixes which I don't necessarily want. So it's clearly targeting the right things in songs but I don't necessarily want to have a remixes. Might think of a way to adjust for that?
