It is rooted in the belief that work can provide everything we have historically expected from organized religion: community, meaning, self-actualization.

In the US, a lot of benefits, like healthcare coverage and retirement benefits, are tied to employment. This is not equally true in all countries and helps fuel an obsession with work.

Later in the piece, it mentions work as rating above traditional values like patriotism and marriage.

Historically, marriage was largely about survival. It was an economic arrangement and people were much less romantic about it than today.

Nationalism has also been blamed as a root cause of wars Historically. With regional governing bodies emerging, such as the EU and ASEAN, we may be on our way towards a world government, but emergent rather than in a top down fashion.
IMO, anyone who thinks that Americans care too much about work need to check their perspective. The Chinese workers in American Factory care a lot about work. I suspect that Americans a century ago were the same, but I think we lost that drive for a while now.

Working hours has been consistent over the last couple decades, which is significantly less than that of the 50s [1]. People are idolizing Office Space and George Costanza types. What people are worshiping is not work, but consumption. If people worked less, they're more likely to waste more time consuming media, than they will spend it on church and community service. Of course, nobody is going to admit to prioritizing weed TikTok, despite both exploding in popularity, so they'll say that they that the most important thing is what enables their consumption, which is work.

If that is the case, these vague and hypervigilant security posturing type replies run counter to their interest.

By default, I assume the absolute worst when it's likely something innocuous.

Wouldn't the best approach be to simply say "yeah just tons of logs and cat pics" or not to reply at all?
You may have zero scientific background, but your rule of thumb numbers are quite correct.

By simple volume, people have more to be concerned about from the plastic vapors left over from the packaging and shipping processes for the food they're buying from the grocery store then the risk of vinyl chloride contamination from the East Palestine spill.
But are you human?
I recently set up two boxes with Ubuntu 20.04 . Both were on the Ubuntu list of supported hardware. Power on - it works. Install updates and restart - black screen. Ok not to panic, just do the usual: google random commands on the Internet and type them in. Ok, boot Linux in nosplash mode - fine, that works. Reinstall Nvidia drivers - whole box goes to shit and the only thing that does anything is reinstalling the distro from scratch.

Tried this again for good measure just in case, but unsurprisingly with the same effect.

Many gray hairs later, it turns out the system update installs a new kernel which has a bug to do with Nvidia drivers causing the whole thing to crash and burn. So if I downgrade the kernel (is that even a good idea?) and install Nvidia drivers there, it's ok. Some more random-commands-from-internet and this is done. Nvidia drivers installed, computer works.

Now I'll "just" install MATE instead of the default desktop env which I dislike. Some warnings about display manager..? Hmm let's see what happens in a mo. Install complete, reboot, machine is fucked again.

I'm getting desperate now, for a week I did nothing but type various cryptic commands, prepending sudo if they didn't work. I mean, I'm a decent Linux user, but I don't know what the lshw command I just typed in does. But never mind. On an Estonian Linux forum I find someone who has the same issue, and has a fix: boot in safe mode, get a terminal, disable some obscure MATE option via cli, then reboot. Yes! That worked - but why..? I breathe a sigh of relief and think fondly of my Mac at home.

There are or course the Nouveau drivers, but they get my PC hot if I wiggle.the mouse too much so that's not an option.

If it happened once, maybe I was unlucky, but happened on two different boxes in the span of months from each other.

I honestly don’t think /Users is a problem (heck, I used time sharing systems where user homes were all over the place, and the original NeXT), but you can turn off .DS_Store creation on network media (I think there is an equivalent one for removable media, can’t find it now):

defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores -bool true

Also, check if dot_clean is in your system.
Anyone knows how this works legally? You buy a service, suddenly without notice the services changes features. Does the small print allow for that? And how is this 'ok' in software but probably not anywhere else (pretty sure a service contract for an elevator doesn;t allow the service company to just say "we're going to limit the ?amount of times your elevator goes up and down to 100 times a day now")

Hey, I'd wager I'd love to be retired. If you want that true back-to-the-grind experience I'd be happy to hold on to that nest egg of yours until I get bored. You can have my job. Check back on me any time, I guarantee you I won't be bored of retirement.

That doesn't mean I won't be programming and doing work-y type things, but just doing the ones I want to do.
> We don't want job applications from people who are looking for a job. We're looking for people who actually want to do work

> We're not offering you a job. We offer you the opportunity

This gem right here sums up what an employers market means. Every employer thinks they are special and wants an employee who's entire life's journey was only a preparation for the singular great moment of meeting you and building your vision, all for the a great compensation package of 65k/year and dental.

But guess what: you are not special, you are just a workplace and you compete in the marketplace for talent just like everybody else. For economic reasons that have nothing to do with you, you have more negotiating power for a limited time. That is all.
>Does Android have services?

Yes, every app can define its own services.

>As root, can I start/stop them?

Yes, you use `am startservice <service>` and `am stopservice`.

>How do I package an app (other than by running "build" in Android-Studio and letting the magic happen)

If you mean to manually do what the android grable plugin does you can manually call javac to compile your Activity, you can manually call d8 to turn the class into a dex, you can manually call aapt2 to compile your resources, you can manually zip all of it up, you can manually call zip align on that zip, and you can manually call apksigner to sign the apk.

>Could I install my own window manager?

Android's window manager service is built into system_server. You can't really install your own. Someone could edit WindowManagerService.java, share it with you, and you can rebuild system_server to include that.
It’s not the cover letter that’s really the problem here.

I wouldn't call it "insane." The temporary evacuation was erring on the side of caution. Vinyl chloride and the other materials on the train are extremely well-understood chemicals and denature pretty rapidly in the wild (especially if you expose them to a controlled burn).
The UK used to have rail links from all of the small villages into the cities. It was an expensive system, but now that has been ripped out for decades we can see that the alternative is far worse.

If in your city, cars are faster than public transportation, I would say that's most likely due to poor implementation of it. In my experience in NYC, London, Tokyo, Bangkok, even the Bay Area (TBF, haven't visited in years), metros are much faster and much more pleasant.

Unfortunately, in the US, we let a bunch of politicians who claim the government is bad at everything run the government. They have a vested interest in making sure it's not well run. For goodness sake, we had a president who said, "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government, and I'm here to help." A sitting US president, who according to Wikipedia, is part of the government. We should have demanded his resignation then and there, and got someone who wasn't terrified of the organization he was a head of.

The most immediate solution to this is stop relying on contractors and let the government at every level build up public planning departments and a construction workforce that doesn't get let go when the project is finished.
It is not an accident. It is a plan.

In that case you are simply delegating indentity checks to credit cards companies / banks. Earning money independently is definitely within the reach of current AI models.

Step 1 to fix out of control real estate prices and suburbia depression is not public transit.

Step 1 is to deprioritize cars. No more free parking, no single family home zoning, free-for-all zoning around train stations and bus stops.

Step 2 is to keep deprioritizing cars. Ban highway expansion beyond 2 lanes in both directions. Match demand and supply with tolls. Excess revenue goes towards funding public transit.

Step 3 is to fund public transit. Private sector will see massive opportunity to build out private bus lines and trains (see Brightline in Florida). The real play is not ticket revenue, but real estate appreciation around public transit. Republicans should get around this idea with private equity guys. This is a no brainer to me.

In conclusion, the key to this morass to make car owners suffer and switch to real estate appreciation to incentivize private development of transit systems.

Modernity's attitudes to men, women and marriage is so broken, that having unpopular views on these things is a good thing. It is your only hope of a happy and harmonious life.

Feminism has made most women unfit for marriage. The very idea that casting the relations between men and women as a pseudo-Marxist class struggle could lead to happy marriages and households is insane.

Men and women are not equal. We are diverse and complementary, and we need to find ways to once again cooperate if our civilisation is going to have any kind of future

> A small fee to use a service will get rid of fake identities and bots.

No, it'll get rid of bots worth less than the account fee to run, except for people who can do payment fraud.

It won't get rid of fake identities because you have to do identity verification for that; otherwise you can impersonate a corporation.
The interesting thing is that in Italy in most of these spam phone calls there is actually a human speaking (often but not always with a slight Albanian accent)
You can’t teach all of the things at the same time. People will just freak out, be confused and learn nothing. There’s a lot of the things that you’ll teach “wrong” at the beginning. You’ll never talk about CI/CD at that stage, deployment, packaging, etc. either, despite a lot of this being a requirement for a lot of software engineering projects.
if we solve parking then we have more space for offices, shops, etc, which means more people travelling into the area, which means more traffic. only public transport and walking can properly scale up.
Aside from which, the post is just very misguided. The author seems to believe that writing a resume involves “committing a significant amount of time doing unpaid labor for a company to manage the company’s risk and hiring costs.” You could say the same thing about an interview. It just makes no sense.

The post also claims that a hypothetical “golden curriculum vitae” literally created by angels would not “increase your chances of getting hired at all.” This seems completely oblivious to the actual role resumes play in the hiring process. There’s no question that a good resume can make an applicant stand out, and predispose interviewers to favor a candidate.

The reason the author gives for his strange belief is:

> The employer is very, very clear in terms of everything they do that they don’t trust your resume even a little and give it exactly zero weight - else they wouldn’t waste manager time interviewing you to get you to rehash it.

But I’ve never been in an interview, on either side, which involved a “rehash” of the resume. Resumes and interviews serve different, complementary purposes.

NBD uses TCP. And I had no unrecoverable (journal) corruption happen.

Imagine you had a physical drive which had unreliable reads and writes but that would always go through eventually. In that scenario I believe you would just have abysmal latency as the OS keeps retrying - and if the latency between retries was in milliseconds the actual speed would drop next to 0.

That said, sudden unrecoverable loss of connectivity would be equivalent of yanking out a physical drive. You would want to use a journaling filesystem.
yes. we all do care.

majority of linux users buy AMD because of drivers alone. avoid broadcom like the plage etc.

asahi linux is weird. theres no good reason to explain its existence other than there are too many people willing to give money to apple for no good reason.
> In the interview, we'll ask in the first minutes what's your opinion of what we do.

You pay people for their labor. Most people view that favorably. The ones who don’t you probably don’t want to hire.

Requiring people to join your cult seems a bit much imho.
Counterpoint: I am pretty sure unions would change "a damn thing" in the gaming, because that is what I can assume by looking at what unions achieved elsewhere.
Not a bad analogy btw. Love at the first sight is very rare. What you could expect is a certain amount of interest - which could develop if all goes well. But expecting people to be madly in love with your company after reading a website is a bit megalomanic - or just selecting for people who are really good at faking.
I briefly checked the source code, and I think we can't use this for our models, because we have lots of pre-processing and post-processing in python.

Don't use terms you don't understand.

Almost always, yes.
I’ve been using UNIX (actual UNIX) and MacOS since before it got a BSD userland (so you can add one zero and 10 more years to your two) and it’s actually fun to see this kind of opinion, because it’s so biased to the point of ignoring all the actual shared history that macOS has.

I'm not in your field, but I read it as such from the get-go and I thought, "Yeah I know what this person is talking about – basically, not seeking someone who lays it on too thick about being in love with the company (or even the specific software/ work), but someone who reads the job description, and is fairly assured they are very capable of doing the work, and wants to do the work because it's interesting to them."

It didn't sound to me like you're asking someone to be a zealot, sycophant, brown-noser, or some kinda corporate drone who drinks the kool-aid and wears the company swag. But maybe I'm misreading?

I say this because I'm fairly niche in my skillset for animation and design, and I only really reach out to studios/ agencies for this very specific skillset, and will turn down jobs (or refer others who might be a better fit) where it's better suited for a generalist or outside of my range. Like, I like doing work within my niche, but it's not my everything or even my core identity.

Doesn't sound like you're asking potential candidates to profess their undying devotion and pile on gratitude. That's just my take. Felt like people might have been reading your comments in a slightly exaggerated interpretation and it could use some other perspectives.
Pick a thread and post your reply and then let GPT generate another reply on your behalf. The no. of upvotes you would for both these replies will give you a rough answer.
But honestly speaking HN should maybe ban content generates via GPT in my opinion.

As awful as the resume process is it has one advantage that the author seems to have ignored - it's 'fair'. It puts everyone in basically the same footing at the start of the hiring process.

Using a system based on recommendations would give popular, attractive, well-connected people an advantage that's unrelated to their skill level. It would make job hopping more beneficial because you'd get to meet and connect with more people.

Maybe it's unreasonable of me, but I slightly suspect the author would prefer recommendation based hiring because it'd benefit them rather than because it'd be a better system for everyone.

Trying to get internally promoted is a losing strategy. If you’re trying to develop your career, then all you want is for your next role to be better (and probably pay more) than your last role. Exclusively looking inside your current organisation for that next role is simply limiting your options to some tiny subset of all the potentially good options on the market.

You just want to turn yourself into a good candidate for that next role, you shouldn’t care where you find it. Even if you’re successful at getting internally promoted, there’s a good chance you’re going to accomplish those goals slower than if you’d just looked elsewhere.
