One data point: I'm someone who could explain, in pretty excruciating detail, every step of that process from the power sequence and boot ROM, all the way up to the JIT engines under the modern web browser.

I got a new position about 9 months ago, at a company that's not taking the current economic environment with much grace. Over the past 9 months the workplace has changed pretty drastically from what originally drew me here, so I'm looking for something new. (Which pains me, because I generally do not "job hop" like this, but most jobs also don't bait-and-switch like this)

I've gotten zero replies so far. There's a striking lack of "interesting" jobs to do on the market right now, and I'm shocked at the lack of interest I'm getting when I find them given my skillet, if I may be so bold. I think it's just a REALLY bad market out there.
Finance and investing is largely based on trust in the future. I wonder if a long enough period of stability makes us too comfortable with taking risk and bad investments, only to expose us to massive downside far enough down the line. Then the inevitable black swan event happens, and finance/investment based wealth gets wiped out.

It doesn't help that the mind set a successful trader or banker needs is how to maximize their own net worth - not how to build a long term stable and profitable business.
Yeah, it's a user preference just like top bar color is here. That's why I say the default linking should be unprefixed and the extension should only be needed if you want to change it but don't want to do so via an account.

A Computer Science degree is not a vocational training program. It is not intended to teach job skills. Students might pick up some of those skills along the way but it's more incidental than an intensional focus.
lol yeah. I live in a city where practically nobody bikes, and bikes get stolen frequently. Nowhere near as bad though than European city.

Bike theft is so rampant. It's just so easy, throw it in a truck, or pedal away with it. Since I live in a redneck place, I ride a step-through woman bike in pastel color now, after two previous ones got stolen, and that genuinely helps. People may make snarky comments, but the bike has remained untouched for a decade now.
I think you touched the real problem here, there are many telented people willing to work on great GTK themes, but it's really hard to maintain themes when gnome is changing the API all the time... So most people give up.
Apart from the air quality, Warsaw is great for cycling. It ain't hilly and there's enough bike lanes. Also Veturilo is pretty good with its dense network, especially in Spring before the bikes start breaking :)
No, the entire planet will not become arid desert, don't be silly, but the world will be getting hotter and drier. Coral reefs will bleach. Rain forest will give way to savanna. glaciers will disappear. The world will be irrevocably changed.
My kid is 7 and rides his own bike to school with me. (2.5km) At 13 I'm pretty sure they'd be good to go without you even.
I haven't tried since the binary cache launched - but over the years I've attempted to use Spack following their "getting started" guide half a dozen times and achieved nothing but long waits and disappointment; part of the reason for recommending it was a sanity check on whether I am just impatient or have unreasonable expectations when it comes to software behaving as documented.

I'm not really willing to indulge the greater discussion, but marcan has done some serious GPU hacking before, reverse engineering the microcode (not shaders) of the PS4's GPU to fix bugs that the PS4 hacked around in the drivers.
Complex systems usually tend to equilibrium otherwise they would be in constant oscillation (positive feedback theory).

As we look back in ice cores, there is variation, but not constant oscillations witch confirm a self stabilizing system.

A few negative feedback we don’t often hear:

increase of co2 have a huge effect on plant grow especially in hash deserted conditions.

Increase in temperature increase humidity: clouds that have a huge effect on reflecting radiation (much greater than co2) increase precipitation, increase plant growth in deserts.

Not to say that we should continue this experiment, but maybe not panic either and see this as the only problem: war, famine, poverty are much more important and real immediate problems instead of projected possible problems.

"Mostly" is not everyone, and frankly I tend to forget the religious weirdos even exist. All the homeschooling families I knew were doing it because the local schools sucked; even those with "gifted and talented" programs couldn't keep up.

If this scratches an itch for some homeschoolers, it's valid and useful. There will always be others for whom it is not interesting, but so what?
I think this is the case you are referring to:

https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/features/the-supreme-court...

July 19, 2022 – In late June, the Supreme Court issued a ruling stating that the Environmental Protection Agency cannot put state-level caps on carbon emissions under the 1970 Clean Air Act. Such authority would, in effect, steer states away from coal and toward other types of power sources that emit less carbon. The Court said that, instead, the authority to decide how power is created in the U.S. must come from Congress.

I personally find that reasonable.

>But the NSA can warrant less wiretap on a grand scale without a similar level of specificity.

They refused to hear it (didn't rule one way or the other and the lower courts are split) citing the state secrets privilege. I would have liked them to take the case too.

> I really like using Diesel because it generates all your SQL queries for you, from a typed SQL schema that it generates from your SQL migrations.

Fair that the author says that this is their opinion, however... I can't agree.

Maybe I'm too stupid, but for me SQLx is the real killer crate when it comes to databases.

Everything, from the migrate macro, to the way it validates at compile-time the types in the DB, feels (to me) very ergonomic.

Diesel, by contrast, I spent so long trying to set up and I never really understood the three different files that need to somehow be in sync and generated. I just never really grokked the split of these files and when to run the diesel-cli commands...

but SQLx is great, I often lament that there isn't anything comparable in Golang.
Thanks for the different perspective.

> It has basically created the blueprint of how we live today.

The same case can be made for the american revolution, which was earlier, and which legacy is longer lasting.

But yeah, point taken. Any book recommendations on the topic?

What components? Lenovo sells several ThinkPad models with Linux out of the box. The fingerprint reader is a source of trouble but it's not a Lenovo part.
At worst the OS will preempt the thread and the JVM will likely schedule a different virt thread the next time — but in case you have multiple CPU-hungry virtual threads fighting over a single core it will suck no matter what. The performance improvement comes from doing useful work on a thread during IO waits.

Nonetheless, there were discussions about some way to force preemption at certain points, not sure whether there is a decision since, but that will be the exception, not the rule.
Those terrible mission statements, drop them, please.
Two examples you mentioned heavily gatekeep profession and limit supply of labor to the market.

Do you want Tech labor union to gatekeep profession?

IT is already merit based and is good because there is no gatekeeping, just spin up your own website and start making money if you are that good.

As an IT professional I simply dont understand why I need labor union to dictate rules to me, when I can negotiate on behalf of myself perfectly fine.

If company decodes to lay me off - well it is company’s loss and fault - I will simply go work elsewhere or freelance, while company will struggle retaining skilled engineers

Query flow looks to be roughly along the lines of:

- llm rephrases the last conversation entry into a standalone, context-free search query

- llm selects a top-1 winner from the top-k results

- llm answers the question given conversational context and the top-1 code search result

I've enjoyed a few VRChat things of watching movies with a random group of mst3k like mindset - but I'm not social enough to have created any contacts, so it's hit or miss if you'll find one of those rooms with a compatible mindset.

The Meta Horizons stuff though - was creepy. There seemed to be people that must've been paid to be there to excite the newcomers, and once I sort of got away from that I ran into the "these are obviously children" problem. I can't help but think that there's a huge COPA fine at the end of that rainbow.
This is interesting as something I've never thought about. What signaling to the server does the browser do when devtools are opened, and I guess I have to ask why is it signaling to the server anything at all if it is?

It's important to correctly identify the underlying problem and whatever tradeoffs are involved. It's unproductive to bitch specifically about Apple's expensive storage and memory upgrades when it's actually an industry norm. It might be more fruitful to discuss why OEMs in general are able to get away with such steep upgrade pricing, and it's definitely more interesting and appropriate for HN to debate the pros and cons of Apple's soldered memory and storage.

So mailchimp is SOC2, ISO, PCI, etc. and still gets worried about themselves if a user account is hacked.

> The Atlantis myth, in its many forms, has long been associated with racism. Many writers on the subject—including Hancock back in the 1990s—spoke of the “white” skin of the Atlanteans, who were a kind of master race tutoring benighted brown people in the divine art of piling rocks. The Nazis made use of lost civilization fantasies to support their hunt for a vanished Aryan homeland. Andrew Jackson even used a lost prehistoric civilization claim to justify the Indian Removal Act, which ended in the Trail of Tears. But in recent years, Hancock replaced his white Atlanteans with Indigenous ones and has been a vocal proponent of Native rights. That’s not to say Hancock doesn’t have some nasty classist and colonialist ideas. “Think about it: Could those farmers, who archaeologists tell us never built anything bigger than a shack, really have achieved all this?” he asks at a Maltese temple. Elsewhere, he complains hunter-gatherers lacked “ambition”—the “takers” of the Atlantean world.

Modern contraception made having children a choice from the 70s and now it's the default in the world.

Many people are just waking up to the disadvantages. I know many women who stopped it, but didn't realize how much the decision of using contraceptives from age 15 changes how they think about life and how much mental and physical side effects it has. For them it was just ,,normal'', because they never had an adult life without contraceptives.

But to get to the point: yes, the decision to have children definately sacrifices other things one can do in their lives, I see it on my sister how hard her life became with the 3 beautiful children she has with her husband.

Yeah what a lot of people don't understand is that if there was a garbage collected version of Rust that kept the same guarantees around mutable data, with the same good type system, good ecosystem, and good tooling, I'd still write a lot of it. Those benefits are way more important to me than the borrow checker.

Basically, Rust fulfills the dream of a functional language with pragmatic semantics, syntax, and developer experience. That's why I write it.
From the overview by grade page [0]

> Note that the curriculum does not introduce writing this year. [...]

I find this strange. I have a lot of penmanship homework from my two years (!!) of kindergarten and first grade. It seems odd to me to not include it in kindergarten. Your reasoning seems to make sense to me, but I'd be tempted to teach in the way I was taught because it worked -- for better or worse -- for me.

Are there a developmental psychology resources that you use for making decisions like these?

> Supervise your child's writing practice closely in the beginning to ensure that he or she is forming letters using the correct stroke direction and order. Incorrect habits established at this stage are difficult to unlearn later.

I don't see an inclusion of penmanship here anywhere. As I understand it, penmanship is incredibly important for the development of fine motor skills in children (note that girls will develop faster than boys in this area of study). Are there plans to include penmanship?

<edit> Nevermind, I found it in the 3rd grade section.[1] </edit>

> Allow your child to choose any easy readers, comic books or simple series books that appeal to him or her. The priority at this level is to establish the habit of reading for enjoyment.

Yes! I refused to learn to read until my mother got me a subscription to Sonic the Hedgehog (we had the first issue of the comic book series for a long, long time). After I got started in comic books, my reading habit was fueled by my own interests.

From [1]

> You should complement your child's science exploration by taking frequent trips to your local library and having him or choose nonfiction or science-related books to incorporate into independent reading time.

This is awkwardly phrased.

Rules on deceptive advertising and fraud are very much about what words you can use to describe stuff.

When a business chooses to use a word because it’s deceptive that’s very questionable IMO.

Interesting, the same word with the same insulting meaning is used in northern Germany…TIL it‘s in English too. Maybe a leftover of the british occupation after WWII.

I never got any FAANG interviews until I'd had a developer job for a couple years. I got to a final round at Facebook, but didn't get hired there.

Still doing ok at that first job, though.

And yes, I agree, I am happy that I am not hitting the job market out of a bootcamp today.
Homeschool dad for 12 years here. I like the direction you are going, I see this as useful, productive, helpful. My concern is your pricing seems to be pretty far off from what homeschool parents generally pay. I would suggest something more in line with $40-$100 a year. more than that you will get a lot of hesitation, less than that, it might come across as not valuable.

> anything except maybe cheap labour.

Hmmmmm. And that labor does?

Please think about this a big more - cities do not have industry or agriculture in them. They need those suburbs to provide that. You can't just dismiss it as "cheap labor" - what exactly do you plan to eat or buy?
