I’ve talked to hundreds of job seekers about their experience job searching. And the job seekers who get frustrated/exhausted/depressed by the search all site that they’re putting in all of this effort and feel like they’re getting nothing out of it. That’s totally understandable!

For the past year, I’ve been working on a way to give job seekers something for their time and effort job searching. We’re all used to earning cash back in other areas of our lives, but that concept hasn’t been applied to job searching. What I’m trying to do is pay job seekers for simply applying to good-fit jobs. We're cutting job seekers into the money that employers are already spending to recruit candidates on the major online job sites.

The product is called Hire Rewards (where job seeking makes the most cents)…and here’s the link (talkhiring.com/jobs). So far, job seekers have been paid out over $30k in cash back and there are millions of US-based jobs on the site.

simdjson is awesome (Lemire does a lot of great stuff) and io_uring is a good use of circular buffers to get efficient IO, but I always squirm a little when I see JSON in a high-performance context.
Bevy and rust in general uses semver with a special case for 0.x releases. See https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/semver.html

> Initial development releases starting with "0.y.z" can treat changes in "y" as a major release, and "z" as a minor release. "0.0.z" releases are always major changes. This is because Cargo uses the convention that only changes in the left-most non-zero component are considered incompatible.

The 0.x is essentially used as way to tell people to use at their own risk since it isn't considered stable yet. Using a library like this isn't asking for trouble if you know what you are dealing with and in the context of bevy it currently means a breaking change every 3 months with a blog post and migration guide.
Congrats on the launch! I'm building an app that interfaces with OpenAI GPT models and they recently released an API to upload and create text embeddings.

I watched most of your Loom and was left wondering why wouldn't I use them directly vs you?
What are some actionable takeaways? I would love to eliminate dietary sugar, but it's hard to do so if your entire family is not on the same page.
Remote isn't available for all tech employees (software or otherwise) and historically we have advocated that people move to places like the Bay Area to obtain corresponding higher wages (I have to move to California and uproot all of my friends, family, and career ??). YCombinator itself famously required(s) entrepreneurs to uproot their friends, family, and career to move to the Bay Area.

At the end of the day people can make the right mix of economic and sociological choices that they want. But what's not going to happen is everyone in Seattle gets a 2-3 bedroom house and you can make peace with that fact of life or continue to be frustrated.
> you can generate as much residential trash as you want for the same price or for free if you drive the trash to the county dump yourself.

They charge a fee if you do that in my county, and the "flat rate" is dependent on the size of your bin, as a proxy for how much trash you generate. If you have more trash than fits in your bin you have to buy stickers for the extra bags to pay for them to be picked up.

Where are you? I'm in the US
In my mind, I was separating out homes for rent from investment and second/third/so-on homes. Although, it seems tough to separate those out since investment homes and non-primary homes are often rented out, although sometimes not permanently or continuously as homes specifically treated as rental properties. It needs some more thought, but I don't like the no holds barred approach that takes place right now. I in general don't like homes being treated as a business and investments, and I think it should be discouraged. Apartment complexes are a little different. Even there though, renters need better protection. One of my friend's rent just increased by 25%. It's ridiculous.
Haven't the Faroe Islands managed to develop a highly profitable and sustainable salmon aquaculture? Let's hope it's not too much to ask Alaskans to learn from what has been done successfully in other parts of the world.
> There's another plausible theory that the just implemented it by counting database reads. So of course a locked test account will have more reads every time you look.

It'll have one, maybe two more reads every time you look. Not dozens. One person posted an example that had literally over a hundred alleged "views" within a minute, despite not refreshing their timeline after posting the tweet.
Help me out here: I do a lot of this "self-hosting stuff," I have fiber internet.

And a whole lot of y'all talk about what feels like a TON of overkill. I still don't really get what kubernetes is (20 year Linux user) or the necessity of buying a "server" for this purpose.

I use (what is relatively old) a $200 office desktop from someones surplus (Dell Optiplex 900-something, I don't even remember because it's in the closet) and Ubuntu+Docker handles everything I throw at it, easy?
> A big part of the problem is how many people simply don't have enough money

Sounds like money isn’t valuable as a target if it doesn’t exist.

But fwiw the scarcity of disposable income is why there is such an arms race with advertisers- they’re all chasing the same fleeting dollars across the internet.
My main issue with inkjet was ink spray nozzle that gets clocked and you'd end up with thin white lines. Head cleaning helps a bit, but the only way to get rid of them completely was to get a new cartridge.

Is this not an issue anymore?

I'd love if all that was $1K/mo total. My property taxes alone are $1001/mo (for 2021; they went up a little bit last year, but I could quickly look up 2021 online).
California is a pretty substantial outlier there, not exactly representative of the country as a whole, and even then doesn’t actually need a super high inter-state immigration rate to get those numbers. It’s worth noting that the entire country grew 2X larger during those 5 decades. So we’re looking at a 3X increase compared to the average. Which is a lot! But even ignoring the effect of people moving there in the early decades themselves having children that speed up the process…to get a 3X growth over 50 years requires an annual immigration rate of 2.2%. Which would be in 1980, .29% of the US’s population moving to California.

(And as a side note, the above numbers are ignoring immigration. In 1980 California was 15% foreign born people, about 2.5X times the national average. And people who immigrated in 1940s-1960s would themselves have children that lowered the needed inter-state moves even more)

Point is, 5 decades is a long time, only takes a small percent a year to compound. California, by far the most popular state to move to in the country historically, still doesn’t need that high a percent change to get from 5 to 30 million.
high enough property tax.
I think it uses wgpu as it’s graphics library, so it should be there (though I don’t know if they’re targeting browsers with wasm support)
Search is and always has been broken on Reddit. I think it’s intentional, because nothing can be so bad for so long in accident.
I tried the same query using phind.com, still the most answers came from reddit.

Please, the meals that are so-called "prepared at home" in the statistics are mere assembly of highly processed ready to eat foods. Final assembly is hardly cooking. That said, in general more people are cooking from primary ingredients than in the recent past, I agree.
I'm not a user of Fly.io. I can't help but notice how remarkable the effect of open communication on potential end users like me. I remember reading about their reliability problems on HN some time ago. That biased my view of the company. After reading this, the open communication and transparency restored my trust in them, and would make them again a potential candidate for future projects. Because now I know that they acknowledge the problem and that they are trying to improve things.
You are just ignorant. You should read about distributed systems. Google around for Zookeeper and it's zab paper.

Every (recently with raft protocol) multi master distributed system out there interacts with Zookeeper for assigning leader and maintain configuration.

Do you know how the syntax or api calls look like ? They are node path in a tree. You want to store something ? That's a tree path again. You want to listen to some change ? It's tree path again.

As I said, most people are ignorant here and don't do "true" computer science engineering in daily life.

Most devs simply convert business logic into bunch of apis + adhoc implementation.

Did you ever work at a banking firm ? I've read their codebase - they are structured as trees, every damn thing is tree. It's a headache to navigate, code, heck even the objects are literal trees.

As I said, people are ignorant and think world revolves around them.
I'll take a look into that. Thanks for the suggestion! As I said, I'm pretty happy with my town's management so far. The town I rented in had far worse management, but it is a town of landlords and not really homeowners.
Got it, thanks for following up
It's quite difficult.

[spoiler alert]

Monster only see in a small radius. In today's map (2023/03/06) go a few steps to the small passage, so you only fight against one ghost at a time. Don't go too low because you will wake up the wolf. Kill both ghost, and pick some price at the top right.

Now go to find the wolf and kill it, and pick the prices there. Try to be as far away from the vampire.

If the vampire chase you, go to the top right and go in circles until your health go up.

The rest is not so difficult.
Did you even read the article? CBT and the cognitive model are not the same thing. CBT (the therapy) works, but that doesn't mean the underlying theory is correct.

"Not only is there contrary evidence showing problems with reasoning are widespread as well as potentially associated with mental health rather than mental disorder. But the evidence in favour of CBT’s take on mental illness is tainted because the tests used in these studies do not even track problems with reasoning. CBT provides a compelling story about mental illness – mental illness is associated with “faulty” reasoning, and in resolving this, negative behaviour and emotions are addressed. Unfortunately, research doesn’t quite back up this story."
Markets are funny. They are colored by recency bias. You have an investment nobody cares about for years and years and then all of a sudden there’s a ground shift and it becomes extremely valuable overnight. Then the value seems like it was self-evident all along.

But markets are also cyclical and ground shifts work both way. Right now anyone owning a home seems like a genius and anyone renting seems like a poor sucker. I suspect that eventually the pendulum will swing back for unforeseen reasons and people will swear off ever owning more things than they need. The minimalist theme seems to come up every cycle.

Btw, to the point about housing not producing anything but relying on the greater fool theory- that is not unique to housing. For example, right now beyond meat is an investment nobody is interested in. But suppose you get some sort of terrible virus that wipes out half the cattle population and the price of beef goes up 80x. All of a sudden beyond meat will likely have more demand than they can satisfy. They didn’t necessarily innovate more than they did previously, but a ground shift brought them a spike in demand. Housing is no different. ZIRP followed by a very fast move to 4% on the 10 year created an environment of owners who suddenly found themselves locked into low interest mortgages in a very high interest rate environment. There doesn’t have to be an increase in productivity for an asset price to increase, just an increase in demand for it.
They were counting the present value of the buying decision. Which includes the present value of the resale 20 years later.

I have no idea if the calculator that they used factors in property taxes and insurance. But insurance averages something like $5k/year for $1 million of coverage, so does not significantly alter the prices. Whether property taxes do depends strongly on where you live. But generally it is much less than a mortgage.

Zoning laws generally exclude businesses from opening in residential neighborhoods. So no neighborhood bakery, butcher, produce, pub, etc within walking distances. Change the zoning laws, change the car dependencies.
And at the end of 3 years the homeowner will have 3 years of equity and the renter will have nothing.
If it were true, software would be replete with "people people" and not us introverted nerds who understand the technology but shy away from people. Understanding people is a useful nice-to-have, understanding technology is an essential requirement. That doesn't fit the definition of "matters more".
A CS degree is useful for, well, computer science and less so for most software development business use cases. It seems counterintuitive at first but makes more sense the more experience you get over different business roles.
I'm not sure what we're arguing about. You say "don't break bugfix releases." I say "don't break bugfix releases." Docs don't say "we don't break bugfix releases." Instead, docs say "we break all the time don't trust us" instead of "pin to a minor version if you don't want to break all the time."

It's specifically not a question of knowing how the Rust community usually does these things, it's a question of "does this package conform to Rust's semver conventions, the official semver conventions, or something custom?"

The statement, _as its written in the docs_ implies "we do something custom." Whether that's true or not is irrelevant. I read it, interpreted it as a lack of governance or adherence to standards, and moved on. Any professional engineer would do the same.

A lot of people who buy night vision devices https://www.plomotactical.com/ have a hard time getting used to them at first. Having to use a new piece of gear is often overwhelming and can easily turn into an expensive mistake.

Eh, only within the current context of society and technology.

For example, most of the energy from the sun that hit our planet are just basically wasted. Meanwhile, the sun uselessly radiate away energy that's not even hitting the planet.

The reason why fisheries are collapsing is because we don't spend much making our environment more habitable and pollute or use up what's already there.
If this is not worth it for you (maybe it is because of amenities), couldn’t you just buy a place closer to where your parents live?
We clarified this point during signup and were told that we could go month-to-month on the plan itself, not just the payment. Support does not seem to believe this.
The article could be summarized as "Open Source software saves money in the long term, even if short-term costs might be higher" which is pretty much "How To Be A Business 101" in that history is full of businesses that died from focusing on minimizing short-term costs or the related pathology, maximizing short-term profits.
Wouldn't that make homes less affordable and increase rents?
Should have.
Another good reason to switch to Kotlin. :)
I was confused too, but it's going to depend on "How" processed it is. If the flour still has all the bran, germ, and fiber. I would say it's not very processed (Minimally processed). If it's bleached, I would say that treading in Ultra-Processed Foods territory.

I'm using classification system called [NOVA]<http://archive.wphna.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/WN-2016-...> that was developed by an international panel of food scientists and researchers. It splits foods into four categories:

Unprocessed or minimally processed foods: Think vegetables, grains, legumes, fruits, nuts, meats, seafood, herbs, spices, garlic, eggs and milk.

Processed foods: When ingredients such as oil, sugar or salt are added to foods and they are packaged, the result is processed foods. Examples are simple bread, cheese, tofu, and canned tuna or beans. These foods have been altered, but not in a way that’s detrimental to health.

Ultra-processed foods: These foods go through multiple processes (extrusion, molding, milling, etc.), contain many added ingredients and are highly manipulated. Examples are soft drinks, chips, chocolate, candy, ice-cream, sweetened breakfast cereals, packaged soups, chicken nuggets, hotdogs, fries and more.

bevy definitly runs in browsers, but since the browser support for WebGPU is limited, it currently uses the WebGL fallback.
Social media growth is all about recommendations and algorithms, people actually curating their network a la 2010 facebook is dead, so your idea of "how to use social media" is also aligned with completely not knowing how to make a growing social media platform where almost >99% of users are consumers and automatically are recommended things and curate their experience implicitly. People do not want to manually do anything for the most part.
If you want to understand what the average American consumes the answer is whatever is on the shelf of their local Walmart (they sell groceries).

This is the crux of the matter: we can only buy what is on our shelves. If we have to start looking at ingredients lists, I think we've already lost the plot. Why are these questionable things on our shelves in the first place? Likely because they're cheaper to make, or worse, there's some government subsidy involved. And I don't mean "questionable" as in plain junk food, because even then, we have to decipher labeling like chocolate vs "chocolate flavored candy". It can be hard to try to be reasonably healthy once you leave the the edge of the super market.
This is a great article, and my only issue with it and my only issue with it is that I think it's too limited. This isn't just a tech thing - the world we live in is one where having more context in a professional environment is almost always useful.

If you spend time learning about how HR functions, it'll help you understand how things like promotions work. Spend time with marketing, and you'll learn lessons about human interaction (what gets someone's attention, how to write copy in a way that people understand, etc.). Spend time with sales, and you'll learn about relationship building. None of those things are unique to tech.

I'd even go beyond work-related stuff and say this attitude is universally positive. Spend time with contractors, and you'll learn stuff that'll help when you own a house. Spend time with teachers, and you'll learn things that'll help with raising kids. Spend time with doctors, and you'll learn what minor-seeming medical issues are worth taking to the doc and what might seem bad but doesn't warrant a doctor trip.

I'm probably biased because I'm a PM at an early-stage startup, which requires a very generalist skillset, and I love to learn stuff about other people's jobs.
I think JITs for dynamic languages like JS and Python have ALREADY failed for this use case -- they're not fast enough

Haha I see! The more I thought about it, the more it really didn't make sense.. Wouldn't all grocery stores be out of business?
The problem with bets with strangers is counterparty risk. The counterparty cannot prove that they will fulfill in the loss scenario, which makes it a guaranteed loss. Bets with friends don't have that problem, since the bet is usually either cash-free or for such a small value that retaining the friendship is more important.

I don't know how your company works but at mine we have a profit target associated with our annual bonus. By eliminating that waste I am helping to ensure we hit that target so I get paid. Imagine if I let it slip and we missed our target by $200,000 that would be dollars coming right out my pocket.
> My current plan involves saving for a few years and dump a good chunk of cash into a down payment

That's exactly the on-paper ideal for how one comes to buy a home here. With rents soaking available income, and a high average debt load because of education costs, most young American's now struggle to see any non-negligible growth in their savings until later in life (if then). If you have substantial savings and anticipate growing it further in the near future, you're already winning the game. You're fine.
They are one of the most people-empowering nations ever. If enough people indicate it(50k signatures in 100 days cfr google), a legally binding regerendum must be held. A simple majority can then change the law.

I wish more nations could have that kind of direct acces to their democracy. Even so, the majority of these referenda fail to change anything, so presumably people tend to make more noise than wanting actual change.
And that's what might eventually kill it.

It seems really unlikely to die from a single spectacular failure, where a key bit of infrastructure dies and just cannot be brought back online for any amount of love or money.

A steady drip of annoying but individually minor issues will gradually chase people away: more spam and less relevant recommendations discourage users; bad spend data and fewer account reps make it a lower priority for advertisers. Twitter's main value prop is its network effect, and if a few people leave (or even engage less) every issue, that value will wither away....
It's exciting to see so much development happening in Bevy!

I see in the Bevy FAQ that you've contributed to other open source game engines. How did you get originally interested in game engine development? Are you developing a game yourself using Bevy? Or contracting with any studios using Bevy in their games?

In NYC, a lot of the affordable housing stock are part of co-ops, where the board has to approve your finances before you can move forward with a purchase. If your monthly income is less than a certain multiple (you would think 3x, but it's usually 5x - 10x depending on the co-op) of your monthly payments ie maintenance + mortgage + insurance, they can reject your application.

And even if you found a condo (usually 2x as expensive as a co-op for same QoL) without a board to reject you or just lived in a city without co-ops holding a lot of housing stock, banks have similar requirements in co-op applications as well. So you really need to have a massive income to go in without a >20% down.

Among the young people who may like to buy a house, this probably applies to a few rare folks working for a bay area tech company salary but are allowed to live in any other city where the home prices are more affordable.
Nope, Greater Seattle Area.

Still, we are a couple nearing our 40s, it seems insane to me that we need to "settle down" for a 1 bedroom flat while making ~3x the median local income.
When, and in what city, has that ever been the case?

I haven't been to Seattle, but in major cities space is at a major premium and many dwellings are tiny. This is offset by the amenities living in a prominent city have to offer.
