I was taking for granted the storyline, and assumed they are indeed lesser known and tricks. To me it’s never about what I know, it’s about what the others know, my production code is not mine alone, and I also don’t want to be responsible for it forever. So I try to be explicit and use no tricks wherever possible.

LinkedIn feels like the wrong way to find a job
On LinkedIn, job posts for anything software engineering adjacent read like a Cheesecake Factory menu of duties and experience requirements. It’s hard to decipher what a given organization is looking to accomplish sometimes. Not only that, seeing that a role had “200+ applicants” is a bit demoralizing.

This isn’t original insight, but I find myself actually trying to see what else is out there, and it’s hard to tell.

I’ve always gotten roles through networking. Has anyone used LinkedIn _regularly_, like many times over years, to find a job?
> This is a take that can save our society and species and prevents us from going into a new kind of serfdom

No it's not.

The replacement for people who are rich due to them (or their parents) having created a load of value is not some imagined utopia. It's people who are rich due to having taken it in the name of utopia. Rich people aren't a problem, or even the sign of a problem.

If people get rich through exploiting power (e.g. government power) then that's a problem.

This. I think what got lost in translation in the discussion between iso1631 and me is that we read the phrase "we don't need cars" differently. We need cars because we're making ourselves need them more than we should.

Microsoft Teams is getting big performance improvements next month
I keep hearing this but it doesn't resonate against my experience.

My family came to the US in the early 90's with zero dollars, but now we're doing well. The difference between us and those who didn't make it out of the neighborhood was what we did with the little money and time we had.

Basic things like figuring out how to get a bank account open vs paying a check cashing fee, things add up quickly. If you don't figure that stuff out, you're screwed. I find it off for poverty-advocates to get indignant when poverty education comes up, because they don't understand how much ignorance/lack of interest/lack of skill exists in those communities, and how much of a headwind that is.

Forget things like encouraging your kids to study in school, apply for competitive courses - etc. Even if your kids are capable of that, if you don't know to push them, you perpetuate your poverty. In contrast to say Asian immigrants who drive their kids to excel and go from poverty to 1% in one generation. Any coaching that helps people recognize and take advantage of the resources and opportunities in front of them - if it actually sticks - is super valuable.
Ask HN: Which air quality monitor to buy?
Hi, I want to buy an air quality monitor to understand the quality of air in my house and ultimately improve it by implementing measures such as improving ventilation where required, purchasing an air purifier, and so on.

After doing a bit of research, I narrowed it down to two options: Airthings View Plus [1] and Awair Element [2], both around the £300 mark which is acceptable in terms of budget.

Is there anything better in that price range? I don’t mind going a bit higher if required.

Thanks in advance.

I’m so tired of people dismissing ADHD as something other than ADHD.

My diet has evolved throughout my lifetime, but you know what hasn’t? My ADHD experience. I’ve always struggled to stay focused, get started, finish tasks, manage time and set priorities since I was a young child.

Claiming it’s a food allergy — with no evidence! — just reinforces the idea that ADHD is a moral failing rather than a developmental disorder that renders many of us miserable and, sometimes, nearly powerless.
> I sometimes wonder about file storage using a textual output format that can't be distinguished from normal user interactions.

I guess it depends on what noise-to-signal density you’re after.

With a a long enough ChatGPT generated output, no one would question a few out of place characters or even an emoji. With 3000+ different emojis to choose from that encodes an entire byte of data.

Another idea is using “they’re”, “their”, “there” as bits.

This is kind of an outdated notion. In the 90's NL was very progressive, but after 3 decades of conservative-neoliberal governments it's middling at most.

E.g. selling weed to stores is still illegal - massively funding the underworld because there's no legal supply - which is quite backwards compared to Canada & some US states. Or up until a few years ago NL was dead-last in the EU for amount of parental leave a father gets (2 days), which was only changed when the EU forced them to by setting a minimum. Most (semi-)public services like health, public transport, taxes and education are also performing poorly and/or very fragile after long periods of budget cuts and neoliberal policies.

None of that automatically means a safe harbor provision can only exist if claimants are able to make obviously bogus claims without redress, though, which is what the original point was before or was derailed into a false dichotomy of having any safe harbor vs not. Either the DMCA is defective in that regard, or it's a deliberate feature. Either way, it's open for abuse.

The project is not finished yet so I didn't do many benchmarks, but if someone cares enough to write some, I would gladly include them in the project.

My testing gave me really fast writes and deletes (since those are asynchronous), and reads were around 60 nanoseconds per read.

But it depends on the data type and I am planning to add more optimizations, especially with Rust NIFs anyways, so I will wait a bit before actually talking about the pure performance of the DB.

The name is like AlloyDB, yeah, but I use that "prefix" in most my projects so, not much I can do there, haha. :)
Can you keep it? As I read 1.55 births per woman, with population growth probably fueled by low skilled immigrant labor. Yeah, you might educate them in time to maintain that high standard of living, you might not.
This is the real enterprise use. I've worked on multiple Earth Cam integrations on NYC high rise construction projects. Honestly wasn't fun to integrate, and the integration (at least in 2008-2016 were all over Java. They might have updated since then, but the purpose was mostly for "toy" integrations so that condo purchasers could watch the construction on their new multi million dollar home years before they get to move in.

I'm fairly certain it was never really used by customers, but the executive team LOVED it, so any time the API failed (usually needed to upgrade the API client because of a breaking change), it was an all hands on deck and a middle of the night/weekend patch.
That was one of the things that made alchemy so much fun; all the "instructions" were "encoded" and literally occult. Much of what they were doing was hunting for the keys to a known ciphertext (the Bible) that would give them the secrets of the universe, once they decoded it correctly.

Of course we're far too bright and sophisticated to fall into such folly today. You won't fond modern peoples, for example, having passionate arguments about the meanings of text generated by mechanical / statistical processes.

How does members of the HN crowd try to combat this?

Or is it just another exercise in futility where the actual exercise is just part of the thing that make me biased in the first place?

I’ll go first.
I see a therapist every other week. I hope that gives me an outsiders point of view.

But I think I have identified a way to know where my biases are could be strong. When I get a really uneasy feeling when I start to think about making changes in a certain area. And I don’t know if it’s a rational fear or just a sunk cost fallacy.

What I find really scary is that I have hard time understanding if I am just fooling myself or being rational. Because it’s always my own mind coming up with explanations, so the actual process looks the same to me.

I read a book called “Quit” recently and it gave me a lot to think about regarding biases and quitting different endeavors. Can recommend.
I have two problems with this line of reasoning. Not just this article, but this line of reasoning in general.

First, it postulates that "if you want to master something, you should study the highest achievements of your field". I don't think this is obvious at all. Exceptional achievement is often attained through a unique combination of individual traits and random luck, which it is not necessarily useful to study or trying to replicate. As an example, people who have attained extreme wealth have often done so by being very lucky at very concentrated financial bets, and this is definitely not an approach that it is advisable to mimic. In the same vein, the article talks about home schooling and exposing children to exceptional circumstances, which sounds like it may increase the volatility more than the mean.

Second, it fails to run the reasoning through Bayes rule. The relevant question is not whether exceptional people have certain traits or experiences in common, per se. The more relevant question is whether these traits and experiences make you more or less likely to become exceptional than people who don't share those traits and experiences. For that, you also need a sense of the prevalence of these traits and experiences, and associated outcomes, in the broader population.
they already have that too.

You’re off by a little bit: it’s not a chemical imbalance but an actual neurological difference. ADHD develops when the brain is very young and results in permanent differences in cognition and executive function.

We do use dopamine (via stimulants) to treat it, though. We essentially flood the brain with excess dopamine and hope that it’s enough to overcome the deficits caused by developmental differences.
Zelensky to China: there would be a ‘world war’ if you ally with Russia
I believe the more current thinking is that it’s a functional connectivity issue rather than a chemical imbalance, but nobody knows for certain.
Disclaimer might indicate that you allow it to happen. And you would really prefer not to. It might simply be because then people would just spread it around outside the box while searching for stuff. Reasonable balance is pretty hard to reach.

We sort of settled upon there not being a great counterpart.

I ended up with a 500 word query because of the question limit. I initially asked it a question with 4 follow ups. After pressing new topic, I rephrased all my previous query as one request, and it handled my previous questions in one response.
I actually just finally tried out plan 9 in a VM and liked it so much that I’ve been using acme for almost all my development on mac via plan9port for a few weeks now.

Awair had a $100 coupon going on Amazon recently, I think there was quite a bit of trouble when the company (or part of it) invested too heavily in a crypto project that went sideways. Not sure what the status is there (see Twitter).

That aside, I LOVED the Awair. There's a great story by DHH online on how his entire family got into somewhat serious health trouble due to heavy VOC exposure, and the Awair basically revealed all of it (I think it was an interview on YouTube).

Just be aware that the cheaper devices use cheap sensors to estimate certain measurements and aren't as reliable. There's some on Ali Express you can buy and wire up yourself (or use HomeAssistant with it). I prefered the Awair due to its neat look.

>I've always gotten roles through networking.

LinkedIn IS made exactly for that. You should never blind apply to a job ad you see on LinkedIn, it is a feature that they added for no real reason other than to cannibalize job websites.

You should be using LinkedIn in mainly 2 ways:

1)As a way to connect to recruiters.

2)As a way to connect to people in companies that you want to work for.

From my experience, for anything beyond junior/entry level jobs nowadays the number of job applicants doesn't matter at all, i.e no difference between 50 people applying or 200. As long as there are 10 candidates who came through recruiters or via networking/personal recs you will likely not get the job as an "outsider" going through the job application corridor.

All of the above is my experience in finance, would be willing to bet it's the same thing in tech.
> If your company is doing an RTO, you workers have failed to convince their management that WFH is measurably better for the organization.

This argument presumes that management is rational and 100% data-driven, which in some cases I’ve seen gets a big fat [citation needed] from me.
Hopefully someday.

Who knows how long this stays in a prerelease state, and what other sanity checks they add to it.

Many people were afraid to speak up. This person did on behalf of us. Now we're too afraid to voice our disagreements with Return to Office.

I knew this person, and it seems incredibly unjustified. They unblocked me many times and unblocked many others on other teams. They always advocated for the company and were vigilant about security policies so that the company was protected.

In the US this is almost always prohibited by the residential internet terms of service, and can subject you to account cancellation.
It affects your insurance? MORTGAGES? What the hell? In the US, the only external downside of ADHD is when you change doctors and the new one automatically assumes you're trying to swindle them to get Adderal, so they make you do another psych evaluation that will inevitably say the same thing as the last one. Defibutely doesn't affect mortgages. I doubt that it would affect vehicle licenses.

"Stage leaders" is specific to GitLab, referring to the stages of the DevOps lifecycle [1]. Stages are part of the product hierarchy definition [2], with sections, stages, groups, categories, features. Maybe the term is similar to "product group leader" in other areas.

In my experience: yes, programming often pairs well with ADHD because it’s an ongoing stream of novel problems to solve.

That said, as we’ve injected more and more process into software development over the last decade or so I’ve found it harder and harder to engage. I respect its necessity but JIRA is nearly the opposite of the exploratory experience of programming.
Automated vuln scanning seems to wax and wane in utility. I tend to use a lot of them to augment my work.

Automated web app scanners tend to lag heavily behind the current "trends" in web development - for example, only recently did BurpSuite start properly supporting auditing single page apps, and it still misses loads of shit.

Fuck, almost none of them can handle OpenAPI or Swagger specs properly, let alone WSDL files.

Handling complex authentication flows is still a nightmare, and almost none of the commercial scanner offerings have ways to "hook" or "trace" the app under test.

So it is not a supermarket, just a charity? Regular people cannot go, buy something and pay like in any other supermarket? I haven't seen that explained in the article.
Pretty cool that they shared the process. A couple things that seem interesting to me:

* Giving the acquirer the cap table early on seems to go against the advice I've seen.

* This is a ton of time investment for a company that has no idea if an offer will be forthcoming, or if it would be in a ballpark where a deal would happen?

The acquiree is supposed to go through 12 stages of diligence a code review, detailed financials, employee review, give out their roadmap, customers, vendors, cap table, source code, financial assets all before seeing any hint of what the offer will be or whether there will be one?

Is that right? Wouldn't getting an idea of whether you're in the same neighborhood be sensible before demanding so much?
After inventing modern physics and calculus I’d think I had the golden touch, too.

Spam and forgery aren't the same. I can be 1000% sure that you own the sending domain, that the mail came from an authorized server, etc., but that tells me absolutely nothing about whether I want to read what you're sending. Spammers used to be lazy and not configure the whole stack, so that became a simple heuristic, but these days it's nearly trivial to set up automatic provisioning of new domains and IPs with full SPF+DKIM+DMARC setups, so the big players went back to blacklists and IP reputation.

Spam definitely is a fundamental problem of all open-inbox systems like email.

I understand the basic biological difference.

The mechanism of action of the protein described in the paper, apparently successfully tested against a wide variety of unrelated viruses in mice, seems to be to unfurl itself and trigger apoptosis only in the presence of single-strand viral RNA of sufficient length.
