I have had success by actively cultivating a small number of recruiters I perceive as high quality.

I find them if they are offering roles that are truly unique and special I will reply back and just say "hey I am not in the market right now but lets have a chat, this sounds interesting.."

Unique and Special defined here as either high level jobs that typically aren't widely advertised, Director/VP/CTO type stuff, or even IC stuff with "above market" comp. I am not in the right half of that group yet, but its what I am eyeing in a few years. Jobs with under-the-radar firms doing some really interesting things- I used to work in HFT and prop trading, and there are dozens of very successful firms you haven't heard of that have a minimal website, if they have one at all- the only real way in is to know someone there, for them to find you, or these recruiting firms. There are usually tells in the job listing/pitch though that this might be one of those firms.

Sometimes they just make a decent pitch that shows they actually read my profile and seem to understand where my career arc is going so I will give them a reply. A very decent just basic filter though is seeing if they have been in the industry for at least 10 years. So many churn and burn through the industry and move on to something else. I have "grown" with several recruiters that now do mostly executive and very big comp roles.

These days this happens about twice a year at most, but keeping that "stable" around has been helpful. In the past I have kept the list and shot off an email saying "hey its time for a change" and its been very helpful, though my last three roles ended up being through recommendations from previous coworkers.
If Peloton collapse, they would stop providing their cloud product and you presumably wouldn't be on the hook to keep paying them, and they might not ask for the bikes back. If you only want the physical equipment, this might work out for you.
SQL was probably only one semester’s course over a 4+ year college career. They probably continued to interact with SQL here and there in some other classes, but would rarely encounter needing more than cursory, googleable knowledge to get the job done.

On top of all that, it’s likely their first (or close to first) time in an interview setting. Nerves have a way of making you forget a lot of things.
Looks like this could become what BASIC was meant to be.

RIP Zippy, one of the best filehosters with great speed and no noticable limits between downloads

at least there is still Uptobox with very reasonable limits on free accounts (30mins between files and 30 seconds wait time + pretty big file size) and Mega (no waiting, but ~5GB per day)
Also known as (if I’m not mistaken) “reply guys”: those who attempt to hijack threads by replying to posts and steering the conversation towards something only tangentially related to the post/poster, almost always in an adversarial manner, rather than starting their own threads for the topics they’re wanting to discuss.
That's not how office space works though. Only about half the square footage max is actual office/desk space. The rest is hallways, meeting rooms, kitchens/cafes, reception, various amenities, etc.

> Over the past year, electricity prices have gone up 2.5 times

I wonder if the people who constantly yell about the obvious superiority of self-hosting over cloud can internalize this information. The costs of hosting your own computers has often increased. Cloud costs, so far, have only gone down.

When they launched them 13 years ago, EC2 "micro" instances cost 1.4¢/hr. Today, they are twice as large, much faster, and cost 0.53¢/hr. In real dollars, the instance cost has declined 73%, and more like 95% in specific throughput. Meanwhile colo prices have gone nowhere but up.

>When I learnt CS in university in my opinion 99% of them were unemployable after graduating.

I was fortunate to get my degree where I did. In our RDBMS course, the mid-term and final was to build a fairly sophisticated model based on a set of written (in English not code) requirements.

In our senior two semester class (I forgot the name), we had to design and spec out an application first semester using Microsoft project (I'm old) and in the second semester, we had to build it and demo it to the class the last few weeks.
Well in natural science it's more common than ever for a degree to have become a requirement over the decades for challenging positions where far more progress could be made by those having a lifetime of interest & study before they were old enough for higher education instead. There's only so many positions like that though, but these are key and have been failing to be adequately filled for decades now. It's been downhill ever since they started calling Personnel departments "Human Resources". Nomenclature which arose after all the layoffs from the Nixon recession, in response to employees actually being treated more expendable than ever, whilst relying only on paperwork filed with HR to judge those worthy of retaining their careers.

Through time, regardless of what a performer can do, without an impressive file (by comparison to some known slackers already in the corp) they won't even be given a chance.

These outstanding performers are getting harder to find since so many more people have a degree these days, even PhD's, and with all the average-to-below-average students now earning degrees and thus diluting the degreed talent pool.

Plus more often than not the original need for enhanced credentials was purely bureaucratic, which can work OK to an extent in a well-run bureaucracy, but when you've got a key position where an average performer just will not do, it really doesn't help no matter how many degrees they have.

Often you need someone who has put 4 years or less of effort into rapidly earning credentials better-than-average (at the expense of getting deep into the actual science), who will take that type of success into the workplace, having an advantage doing more of the same politically within the org.

Other times, especially in science, you need someone who has had a lifetime of interest, to build upon that much more technical background, which could not be achieved in merely 4 years anyway, even by the same person.

When you need a lifetime of progress you're going to get a lot more from a 21-year-old who didn't just start a few years earlier.

>Bicycles are the best machine from the industrial revolution. Quiet, healthy, efficient, harmonious with our sensibilities. I think it is precisely these aspirational qualities that is enraging the morlocks in their cars (speaking for US only now, it's better in other countries). A bicycle is a shameful reminder of the virtuous path not taken.

The power loom?

The electrical generator?

The steam engine?

The telegraph?

The bicycle is a "nice to have" latecomer that can only exist in a world which is already somewhat industrialized.
The owner of a bike shop I used to frequent had a Moulton (one of the old space-frame ones) with a 5-speed hub and a derailleur on the back and three rings on the front. He said he wanted to see just how many gears he could actually get on one bike.
> "[whatabout cyclists who break the law]"

I can stand at my local crossing on Old Kent Road and there'll be non-zero cars jumping the red light (often accelerating from a good ways back) or entering the junction without a safe exit blocking the crossing, a bus lane, and another junction (in peak time this will often get into double figures). Multiply that by all the crossings and you'll absolutely dwarf the amount of cyclists doing similar (and in my 20+yrs experience as a pedestrian + cyclist in London, it's not nearly as bad as motor vehicles.)

> It needs to become socially unacceptable to cycle without due care and attention to the safety of others

Let's start with the heavy motor vehicles first, eh.
I don't understand - is it not possible to construct a site that does not allow you to download if you have an ad-blocker? It seems trivial:

1. Show an ad, include a special value.

2. Download only if special value is present.

3. If special value is not present, tell user they must disable ad-block to download.

Most sites fail to do this not because of technical complexity, but because they don't care about ad-blocking and/or it doesn't affect their business greatly. In ZS's case, they should've implemented this.

I chalk this up to poor management tbh. Things like the electricity cost increase could have been balanced with more ads to compensate. The kind of things on ZS tend to be nefarious, and the electricity needed would likely be offset by say, a 15 second video being watched before downloading.
> Slightly tangential question: what value have people derived from LinkedIn in their careers?

My past 3 jobs came via LinkedIn. Two of them were from recruiters reaching out to me, and one was from something I applied to via the site.
It's very different. Servers are not subreddits -- your account lives on a single server, for example. In fact, the fact that servers are both the auth/identity system and topic-based moderation is imho one of the biggest design weaknesses of mastodon.

Anyhow, it's more "federated Twitter" than anything else. Particularly early twitter before the quote-tweets, algorithmic feed, and other modern features.
Don't worry about me, I do have a screen lock.

Still, I think that software in general, and security software in particular, should follow the principle of least surprise.

In the case of PINs, this is, in my view, an implicit contract to rate-limit invalid PIN attempts somewhere, regardless of all other security measures.
I upvoted this because I couldn't tell if the investigation is in limbo, or the monkeys are in limbo, or if the monkey's fate is in limbo.

I also like the implicit assumption that the lab monkeys are more than just livestock. If they can be trafficked, then the monkeys have some human rights. Otherwise they'd just be shipped or transported, like hogs or cattle.
Well at least there would be a rust version coming very soon now.
Only China blatantly acts in illegal ways and uses their military to escort fishing vessels that are illegally fishing in other countries territorial waters.

The issue isn’t fishing, the issue is how they fish. China straight up does not care about the environment, or sovereignty, or frankly anything which does not directly help China. They operate in an incredibly selfish way towards the rest of the world.

I don't know if it's actually bimodal to the degree that, say, law is. But I have seen the dynamic where, if someone at a smaller company gets an offer from, say, Facebook, the response of the company is to basically shrug and move on.
At some point it does matter how the credentials were leaked. Eventually security will succeed or fail due to the behavior of the people involved in the system (users, admins, developers, executives), no matter how much you try to engineer a solution.
I've spent at least 30k on my hobbies over past 10 years, since graduating college. I still have a mortgage, I'm still in debt. But, my hobbies have given me something to enjoy outside of work. I love programming, but I consider myself lucky when my work and passions actually align. Sometimes I get to solve interesting problems. That's a luxury. But you know what is always there for me when I clock out? My family, and my hobbies. When the weather is nice, I can look forward to a motorcycle ride. I enjoy going to the gym, learning jiu jitsu, gardening, cooking, repairing things. Yes, it costs money. But, I'm in my 30s, in good shape, happy, and in debt. I see people that maxxed out their work life, and neglected their personal lives, and they tend to be miserable for one reason or another. Getting in shape and being active gets harder as you get older. Relationships take time and work as well. Money is not going to buy you a happy relationship, it's not going to buy you friends, and it's not going to buy you health. It absolutely helps, but it's not the priority. Work so that you can live well, not so that you can accumulate numbers.
> The Elec says the OLED-equipped 11-inch iPad Pro will start at $1,500, an increase of 80%, while the 12.9-inch iPad Pro will start at $1,800, an increase of 60% ... the supply chain cost of these 11-inch and 12.9-inch panels to be $270 and $350, respectively.

Let's say the 2024 OLED 11-inch iPad Pro (Ultra?) starts with 512GB storage, which currently costs $1100.

That would be a plausible $400/36% price increase to cover the $270 OLED screen, while preserving the entry-level iPad Pro LCD model.

I’d say PSVR did quite well. Your examples above - from FB or Google - failed for the same reason everything else they try ends in failure - it’s a problem with those corporations and their “engineering culture”, not with VR.
That information is now 2 years old. With the greater prevalence of ad blockers since then, I wonder how that revenue stream is doing now.
Likes/favrs are basically upvotes, really. The like count isn't displayed up front but it's there.
Sure, but it's unrealistic to think that the preservation of foreign economies is going to be any sort of priority over the next few years.

As an occasional work cyclist in Edinburgh and previously Cambridge: it doesn't make that much difference. It's nicer to have more gears to get a decent speed, but not being able to slip off is an advantage to 3-speeds.

Overall bike design makes more difference. Dutch bike >> MTB with comfort fittings > regular MTB > racing bike. By "comfort fittings" I mean things like chain guards and mudguards and a suitable saddle.

These days quite a lot will be e-bikes too.
Envio: The Secure CLI Tool for Managing Environment Variables
Hey everyone,

I just wanted to share with you my latest creation: envio! It's a command-line tool that makes managing environment variables a breeze.

So, what makes envio different from other tools out there? Well, for starters, envio uses the concept of profiles to store your environment variables. A profile is simply a collection of environment variables that you can easily switch between depending on your needs. For example, you might have a "development" profile with variables specific to your local development environment, and a "production" profile with variables for your live site.

But here's where things get really cool: envio allows you to import profiles from the internet and files, and export your profiles to files as well. This makes it easy to share your profiles with others or use them across different projects. Plus, all profiles are encrypted, so you don't have to worry about sensitive information being exposed.

Using envio is simple too. Just create a profile, add some variables, and switch between profiles as needed. You can even set a default profile for your shell so that it's always available.

Overall, I think envio is a great tool for anyone who works with environment variables on a regular basis. It's secure, flexible, and easy to use. Plus, it's open-source and available on GitHub, so you can contribute to the project if you're interested.

Give envio a try and let me know what you think! You can find the GitHub link here: https://github.com/humblepenguinn/envio

Thanks for reading!
I think most of the commenters missed this.
It should also be taken in the context of the city not being an area many people drive to anyway. Many of these cyclists will have switched from the tube, and many of them will have taken a train to a terminal station and biked from there.
Not gonna lie: i upvoted this for the name :)
There is literally no difference between "modern leftism" or "modern right-wing" in free speech environments, you are just being dishonest.

If you think modern leftism is being mad about people being racist, that says more about you.
I recently visited Imgur after a few years away. My god has that site fallen. Doing anything takes two or three times as many clicks, ads are everywhere, and 75% of the posts are left-leaning versions of your uncle's shitty political Facebook posts. "Upvote THIS if you think Trump should be arrested!"
>- Immediately stopped having insomnia. Better feel overall;

It's interesting you mention that. When I took up cycling to work in Manchester, I started struggling to fall fully asleep because I'd have short pseudo-dreams about the POV of cycling on wet, dark, busy roads & jerk awake, scared that I was falling asleep at the handlebars.
Dinosaur Bone Study Reveals That Not All Giants Grew Alike
I just upgraded this week from a 950 pro to a 980 pro, it came with the current firmware.

Their data magician software (windows) will update it if needed, they also have an ISO. I had no luck getting the ISO to detect any keyboard till noticing I'm already updated.
It is really tempting when on a bicycle to think of yourself as being able to pick and choose rules to follow, magically switching from “more like a car” to “more like a pedestrian” as needed.

The rule that I personally follow: always behave like a car (albeit one that rides far over to the side of the road most of the time), and if I really feel an overwhelming urge to act as a pedestrian, time to fully dismount and walk the bike for a bit.
> So there are a great number of people who are heavily incentivised to look the other way if there are any unanswered questions.

I never really got this argument: There are even more powerful and even richer people that have incentives that nothing changes: ExxonMobile, Koch Industries, BP, Volkswagen, BMW, GM, Russia, Saudi Arabia, etc.
And the total time it's taken a load of goods to cross the city still hasn't changed in 700 years :)

"We get all the funding we need out of Russia," isn't objectively anti-Russia.

Believing Putin over his own intel agencies -- and publicly proclaiming as much -- is actively pro-Russia.

If Trump didn't want people to think he was a Russian asset, he might have tried not acting like one.
> Now that we've reached a point where every person has some form of adblock from abp to brave, I think this we're gonna be seeing more and more of this.

On the upside of this, there is an insane amount of flat-out terrible web content that would become unprofitable if ads truly become no longer viable. Blog spam, content farms, click bait, etc.
While much more rare than with cars, biciclysts still sometimes fatally hit pedestrians.
As I've grown older myself I've grasped the whole 'horizon' of knowledge gathering in this field. We will never know enough to feel like we know enough. Better to call it a hobby than work related and try and enjoy some sportball I guess.
> for instance, how to use ssh protocol to perform transfer between two machines? Where can I find such examples?

That's out of scope for cURL, use `scp` for that.

> Are there any examples of a fully functional high-level data motion tool that is based on Curl?

What's data motion?

> Has anyone used Curl to perform data transfers at large scale such as terabytes of data? I would love to read more about it if there are any pointers describing such transfers.

There's a few posts on Stack Overflow about that, but they go up to gigabytes. cURL is not the best solution for transfering terabytes of data. http://moo.nac.uci.edu/~hjm/HOWTO_move_data.html seems to be a good overview of the challenges (and tools) to use to securely and reliably transfer terabytes of data, referencing rsync, bbcp, bittorrent, etc.
This source you gave is about carcinogenicity not neurotoxicity.

I don't appreciate you suggesting I have some kind of ulterior motive or bias. I don't care if sassafras oil is legal or not, it doesn't matter to me.

I do value science, and the fact that a culture has used a substance for a long time does not somehow preclude the notion that it could have toxic effects. Unless you want to argue that ethanol can't damage your liver either. Nor does the ruling out of one toxic effect preclude other mechanisms of toxicity.

> "Over the past year, electricity prices have gone up 2.5 times, which, with a large number of servers, gives a significant increase in costs that we have no way to balance."

They could have reinvested the earnings in the past to run a more cost effective solution to prevent this happening today. I have seen this countless times where companies will just drain the business of cash and leave everything knowing it'll die eventually in the long run.

They had options like reducing the max file size, the number of files, the retention period, etc. They hadn't posted a blog outlining any plans or features for ~6 years.
Eh what? You can definitely kill someone with your bike. Also if you kill yourself in traffic you will raise the risk of traffic related deaths for the responders. Many places in the world riding a bike drunk is as illegal as driving a car drunk.
> Never seen a plane do that before…well, aside from tiny model planes. What an incredible power-to-weight ratio that plane must have.

I mean, that was a lot of head wind. That is why they could do that. It's still pretty cool, but it wasn't just the plane.

Writing from personal experience. I can also assure you that a lot of this highly reliable infrastructure works only because a lot of tears and cursing that could have avoided if the designers had any idea what they were doing.
There are ways to detect certain kinds of ad blocking but they're not always reliable. The client web browser has no obligation to report back to the server with what it's decided to show the user.
Yeah I'm generally not too up of whatever the latest term is, but you'll see accounts that literally registered and immediately started making no posts except telling people their political views are wrong. Or their existence is wrong.

Like, if you're only there to argue, nobody is going to want to hang out with you, sorry. Plenty of good debates happen, including people with differing political views, but you have to bring something besides hate to the table.

Of course, then those people claim they were "censored" for "being conservative" or whatever, but more than likely they were just banned because their only point in registering was to attack other people.
Living in the country is amazing if the geography and culture of the place have a lot to offer you, based on your interests and desires. I’m on the coast of New England and it’s in many ways just great. If I described the world within 45m of my door it would sound like I’m bragging. I do not overshare with coworkers for that reason.

What’s less great is that the things that are broken and stupid aren’t getting fixed. There will be no public transport (ever), bike and pedestrian lanes will not happen, the public schools outside of select enclaves will keep failing, short-term rentals will keep driving out the middle class, and economies based on tourism will race to the bottom.

In short, your desire to upgrade a place to match its potential will conflict with the desires of others, many of whom just want the government to stop taxing and regulating them and whose entire worldview can seem framed by the price of gas.
