Man, I've coded a fair amount in my free time, and have even created a couple of money making side-projects, but I just can't grind leetcode no matter how often I try. That plus the rejection after doing long on-sites drains me for days afterwards. I've come to the conclusion that even though I may be missing out on those top salaries, FAANG just probably isn't for me

And how did we get to this state, through competition. The free market isn’t self sustaining, the goal of competition is to end competition
What would that be intended to prove?
There was a good book about a recent discovery a few years ago, Lost City of the Monkey God. The locals had stories about some city in the jungle. The team managed to find it with LIDAR, but it was a slow, difficult process. They then had to land in fairly distant clearing and hike to the location. From there the team had trouble finding ruins even when they had their exact location, even once standing in right the middle of the city. The jungle hides a lot. The team members also came down with cutaneous leishmaniasis. Finding locations might be getting easier, but I imagine it would be difficult to find people with the right combination of skill and willingness to die a slow, agonizing, and disfiguring death to actually excavate some of them.
From what I fpund, which admittedly wasn' a lot, the used pre-preg for the spining of the hull. Judgeing from the video, the environment wasn't too clean neither. Then they put all 480 layers for some hours into an oven at 160 (?) degree celsius. Thats it... Not testing afterwards, no aditional curing, no temp control during winding of the pre-preg (that is tricky enough already under ideal circumstances, 480 layers, the resin will be basically hardened, well dried, before the last layer is applied).
If you're a software developer, cultivate deep expertise in one or two popular languages that are likely to stick around. Everything else - the hot new web framework or whatever - is downstream from the actual language, and is easy enough to pick up.

If you're in IT operations I guess it's harder to keep up, because everything is different.
that's true, market forces like supply and demand affect everything in the economy, and while we've grown, our landmass has remained static.

which parts of the land are worth more than others though, I think the article does a good job of providing examples too: people living closer to each central city had higher wages, which meant they could pay more for the land pieces... so they did, which meant they had to ask more when selling in order to 'break even' or 'realize on their investment'

i guess the bigger question is: why did we tie our need for shelter into the economy? in order to achieve constant growth (ensure someone isnt left 'holding the bag'), we have to either be willfully ignorant of a growing population, or maintain a fantasy of there always being viable room for ever more people

i hope we start colonizing the moon or even mars before we have to deal with fallout from the above...

While the post is mostly correct and one can agree with most of it, it’s very hard to believe that, unless more people pay for RHEL, it would cease to exist. What’s more believable, is that this is a matter of wanting more money for sales targets. Very legitimate and all, but don’t cry over the long hours and don’t try to sound like misunderstood heroes. RHEL is valuable, it contributes to the ecosystem well, and execs want it to churn out more cash.
The stressfulness of the interview tends to be correlated with the stressfulness of the job.

Discovering that a Bluetooth car battery monitor is siphoning location data
Hi HN, this is my efforts in reverse engineering a BLE car battery monitor where it's app has over 100,000 downloads on the Google Play store alone.

It turns out it's sending GPS, cell phone tower cell IDs and Wifi beacon data to servers in Hong Kong and mainland China on a continued basis. Google and Apple app store pages say no personal data is collected or sent to 3rd parties.

Hopefully readers pick up a few tips on reversing apps for their connected devices.
As I understand it, buildings don’t pencil out with more expensive materials until they are also much taller.

Insofar as people want to correct the Almighty Market on housing, they ban mid rises entirely. I don’t think there’s a political constituency for “apartments, but good” and supply is way too constrained for developers to care. Maybe we could at least get some kind of testing/disclosure of acoustic properties since it’s so hard to tell on a tour.

Not a recruiter, but I imagine there are at least 3 reasons for your repo to be ignored or deprioritized in favor of typical interview:
- not everyone contributes to OSS
- it’s easy to fake
- it’s hard to assess within a short period of time

This it seems to be hard to standardize and streamline candidates validation based on their oss repos.

Also, afaik the goal of interview is to assess candidates thinking patterns, it’s hard to do quickly based on an arbitrary piece of code.

Do everyday people need an enterprise Linux distro? Why not use one of their other everyday-people focused distributions?
But how do you know that the outcome you have is the right one?

It's text. It's not something formatted.

If I encrypted a JSON string, gave it to you, you can brute-force all day trying to parse the output as a JSON string. If it works, you probably have it right.

But here? Because of how the Engima machine works you still get an output. And since we don't need to decode this output (like JSON to an actual JavaScript Object) we don't have that many ways of validating the output.

It's German from 1945. Abbreviations, different (older) spelling, spelling mistakes, ... all make it really hard to distinguish real output from incorrect output.

I agree. HFT goes against the original ethos of a market open to all. Instead of trading on the merit of a given company, it simply reinforces the market is increasingly gamified and unfair. It's like futures, no ones cares about the commodity being traded, or that doing so can really hurt people and business that rely on that item, it's just another item to be gambled.

Notice how I said "one", not "you"? Also at the end of the post, when I said:

> I agree with you

where that is "you", and not "one"?

I find it fascinating that you are doing exactly what you accuse me of, where you are assuming things that are not true. This generally happens (in my experience) where people are unable to disassociate their opinions from their "self", and here I am making a direct inference that this applies to you as well.

Happy to continue the discussion, although it seems you might be unable to split emotions from logic.
inadvertent contamination with Argemone plants growing in mustard fields

You sometimes still see mustard advertised as "argemone-free". To think that some people in the US voluntarily drink yellowroot tea because apparently it helps with diabetes is scary - the chemical similiarity between sanguinarine in argemone and berberine in yellowroot is just too great for it to be a good idea.

And he really doesn't give a very nice formula for it.

Numerically, the point of the article is the fact that

n! \approx (0.826523 + n*0.373522)^n

For n in the range from 10 to 50, this is within 5% of the right answer.

But I really don't see that this is all that much simpler than Stirling's approximation and it is considerably less accurate and not asymptotically very good. Stirling's formula is within about 1% for all n>10 and within 0.1% for n>90.

Actually computing gamma(n) or lgamma(n) to high precision requires a bit more effort than this, but as an approximation, Stirling's formula is really pretty good.
"They're scaring off and filtering out excellent candidates with these excessive processes." I don't see myself ever applying to any of these whacky interview companies. I like money and all, but idk. It's such a turn off. Maybe if I truly felt they were actually measuring company value.
You and tens of thousands of other smart people who could be doing something other than maximizing attention and shilling trash products. Good luck undoing 3.5MM of damage with social work.
I have never heard of that. The argument is usually if merchant A advertises prices excluding taxes, and merchant B advertises prices including taxes, then merchant B will risk losing out on some customers who go to merchant A because they think buying from merchant A will cost less.

On the internet, taxes are based on shipping address, so there I think it would be impossible for a merchant to show tax inclusive price unless the buyer enters a shipping address first.
Thank you for this.

Now that I have ranted enough in the parent comment, here are my 2 maybe constructive cents:

1. Learn what it means to be relaxed again and make this your first priority. F** everything else, if necessary. Anxiety and stress don't have a chance if you aren't tense.

2. Go out into the sun and spend a lot of time in nature. If you can't get out of bed in the morning, make it a habit to go out first thing in the morning for an hour or so. Force yourself if need be at first.

3. When anxiety or self-blame start to emerge, feel it and focus on the feeling itself intensely. This makes it impossible for it to take over your mind.

4. Make fear a positive experience by using it for something positive, e.g. learning how to focus on your feelings or reframing it as thrill.

5. Try all methods you can find to cope. Everyone is different and not all methods work for everybody.

If you want to make money off of being better at hiring than Google et al you need two things:

1) the product idea for something to build that you can sell profitably

2) the hiring skill

Neither of those are trivial to develop.

I do tend the think the second isn't that hard to develop for specific situations (FAANG interviews are really aimed at hiring people who they could swap around to large different sorts of teams or roles and get along with, and be productive with, a huge swath of the company, though IME in practice that doesn't happen terribly often these days). But if you're doing it for someone else's company, your upside is capped by the upside of the company you're working for. And your reward is too - you're not going to command 10x the pay from a CEO you report to who doesn't themselves understand the difficulty of the hiring you're doing compared to "just copy Google" (or why they wouldn't have good results with the latter).
I agree and have gotten into some interesting debates for suggesting that not only do I think it likely, that I think it will probably snowball a lot faster (and wilder) than a lot of people expect. (Gas pumps are already weird margin "loss leaders" for other businesses such as convenience stores or supermarkets. Expecting a closure snowball seems reasonable once demand starts to really shift in favor of EVs.)
> Since Jan. 1, the Fire Department has logged at least 39 robotaxi incident reports.

Assuming they are all the lowest "class" of incident with a $10k file each, that's $390,000 . A not insubstantial fine but maybe not huge impact. Though we know several of these incidents (because they were in the news) were of a more severe class. So lets assume that's half a million in fines at least.

So a million dollars a year in fines just to operate at limited times and in limited locations. Open that up to a lot more cars in a lot more places? Those fines will add up to be quite substantial.
Sure, it would take some more effort to dig into than checking boxes.

But it would also provide more valuable feedback.
Wow this has happened to me more in the past few months than in the previous decade of iPhone ownership.

I received a call with my Mom, my emergency contact, because somehow my phone had pinged her or dialed her as an emergency.

Other times I pull out my phone and also see that it was doing something. Earlier today I was using google maps in a new city, I put my phone back in my pocket and when I pulled it out a few minutes later I was on an "add a new place to the map" or "mark a new place" flow.

> for really complex character like 龜

This tells me that I need to change my CJK font fallback. I see a character, but depending on what font-renderer I use, changing the font-size either doesn't change the size of that glyph, or resizes the original glyph pixel-by-pixel. Clearly whatever font it is falling-back to is not a proper outline-font...

[edit]

Does anyone have a good way to determine what font is used to render a particular character in any linux application? The best I've come up with is grepping pmap for font files...
The Product Manager interviews are even worse. Google was the shittiest experience I had, all the way to the silly hiring Committee. Three months of my life I'll never get back.

Mostly because reddit users are migrating away due to the API changes planned at the end of the month.

Apollo is one of the most popular iOS apps for using Reddit.
It will no longer be useable by the end of the month due to API changes Reddit is making. Reddit wants to charge for API usage and it will cost the developer of Apollo millions of dollars for something he until now had free access to.

Reddit refuses to give users an option to subscribe to their own API keys, so Apollo has no choice but to shut down and return subscription money to the app itself.

If I was Christian (the developer of Apollo), here is what I would have done. (it might be a little too late now)

1. Program a placeholder into Apollo for the user set their own Reddit API key. Tell users it will be supported as soon as Reddit provides a machinism for providing a subscription. And provide a reddit support link and encourage users to request an API subscription feature.

2. Christian should set up his own Lemmy instance which is API only.

3. Give reddit admins (many of whom use Apollo) to designate a corresponding Lemmy subreddit channel. For example the sub https://lemmy.ml/c/cars might already be taken. But the admin of reddit.com/r/cars can designate in the description or sidebar that their Lemmy sub is https://lemmy.ml/c/cars2
It wont actually matter too much.

4. Apollo will then seamlessly integrate both the reddit and the designated Lemmy sub into one view. It might be messy at first but it would give Apollo the ability not to be hamstrung to one platform.

I highly recommend checking out the National Forest system if you haven't. Mendocino National Forest is an absolute gem. It's huge, rugged, and full of places to go. It's still quite fiddly to figure out what to do there and because it's not as popular as the NPs it's largely untouched.

> funded via tax revenue, just like everything else the government does

FDIC assessments and taxes are different. You can over-simplify mentally to a tax, but that doesn't make it true.

The FDIC runs more like an insurance provider than a run-of-the-mill government agency.
> Misery is part of the package.

But isn't that a bug? It's not that hard to find a non-FAANG job that pays well, lets you own a house, and not worry about money without having every working day be a misery.
Can you clarify no 1? What are you if not your thinking and your feeling? I'm not trying to be snarky, i am actually legit curious about how to develop a sense of self that doesn't have to do with, y'know, sensing.
One of the most important factors in whether someone will vote for a transit tax if is they can imagine riding it themself. Since the current system sucks people can't imagine that and they vote no. Which keeps these networks starved of resources.

Meanwhile legislators approve billions for highways every year. Zoning laws and minimum parking laws are kept in place. Every time gasoline prices increase politicians seek to sooth voters/motorists.
Unfortunately this also means you have to be open to a potential 50% cut in TC as well.

Personally, I find enjoying the 8+ hours I spend at work each day more important than raw TC, so have made the tradeoff (and still have a reasonably high TC) which works for me.

That said, I would love a more laid back research programming job in academia, but that requires an additional 50% cut from where I am now.

It's still understandably frustrating that knowing how to write software seems largely irrelevant to getting a job at a FAANG.
Possibly off-topic, but this is the best way to describe running a good Dungeons & Dragons game I've heard in a while.

No, it isn't. Selling support is actually profitable. Red Hat is an example of that, in 2018 they had a very healthy 13% profit margin, and they are still profitable to this day. Red Hat wasn't in debt either, it had net assets. I don't see how the end of ZIRP had a disproportionate negative impact on Red Hat's financial, they were and are doing just fine.

FAANGs can get literally over a million job applications per year. Any procedure that filters that down to roughly the number of people that they plan to hire (a few 10k) is also going to filter out some excellent candidates, no way around it.
It scrapes that % every trade, every millisecond, thousands of times over. That adds up, and all that money has to come from somewhere.
A huge problem are the cartels that are usually 2-3 companies that has almost all the market share. They increase the prices, which reduce demand, then they tell the producers to lower the production in order to keep the prices artificially high. If we want to keep the capitalist system governments need to address corruption, monopolies and cartels, and allow free trade between countries. Anything that hinders competition should be illegal. If you own a platform or network you must allow competitors to operate for a reasonable cost. Any mergers that would allow one player to grow beyond 5% market share should not be allowed. (in order to make sure that in any market there are at least 20 competitors). Anything that is anti-competitive should not be allowed. Only way to compete should be to make either a better, or a cheaper product. Our governments are a joke, they are charades and full of corruption.
