My work history

1. I got the job based on a previous internship that itself was based on talking to people in the career office in college. (1996)

2. I talked to someone at a local recruiting agency and went to the office and met them in person (1999)

3. I found an interesting looking job on CareerBuilder for a startup and reached out to the internal recruiter via email and we started having a discussion (2008)

4. When that company was folding, a couple of recruiters reached out to all of us and I was hired four days after I was laid off (2012)

5. I reached out to an in house recruiter on LinkedIn where the manager was looking to start a “tiger team” of experienced developers (2014)

6. I had plenty of recruiter i knew by now. I responded to every local legitimate recruiter who reached out to me. I told them what type of job I was looking for (a tech lead position at a smaller company) and just waited for the right opportunity. I found it in 2016.

7. The same for my next job, I was looking to work for a company that was doing new “cloud initiatives. I asked all of my recruiting contacts to be on the lookout. The recruiter I met in 2012 that I had stayed in contact with knew a guy who was the newly minted CTO of a startup that was trying to bring development in house and be “cloud native”. Before they were using a contracting agency. (2018)

8. A recruiter from Amazon Retail reached out to me about a software development position. I really wasn’t interested in relocating, working as a software developer for any large company or ever being on call. I kept talking to her and she recommended I apply for a position at AWS ProServe. But even then, she shepherded me through the process and made sure my application got looked at by the right people.

I didn’t just blindly hope for a keyword match (2020)

And btw, in my entire career, I’ve done exactly two coding tests and both of those were FizzBuzz level sanity checks.
Youtube is also serving me alt right ads against gender affirming medicine.

Not good, Youtube.
I’m not going to sing praises that it’s a perfect drop in replacement.

It’s a pretty good replacement for Reddit, and the community that’s forming seems good so far.
It can just “ERROR file physicslib.h not found”. Nobody says open source code must compile or work.
Shameful of? The justices who voted against it? Harvard?
Do they all yell "This is MAGA country" first to identify themselves as MAGA boomers?

WebSockets will be added soon.

I think streaming HTTP responses may currently work. The client forwards the response back to the original client chunk by chunk (it does not wait for the entire response). I still have more testing to do.
Race conscious admissions gave the white people who run these universities perverse power over racial minorities. It enabled them to create an “It’s a Small World” atmosphere that effectuated the vision of diversity favored by white people. I can’t help but think that the admissions people at Harvard and Yale regard Obama as a success of “diversity” but don’t feel the same way about Justice Clarence Thomas. Minorities groveling to prove to white ladies that they’re the right kind of minority to “represent” their race is a practice that needs to be confined to the dustbin of history.
Jetbrain IDE's also support these. So It's more of a standard than other things currently.
I remember the olden days when something like this would be voted to the top. A useful solution to a posted problem is what I hope to find for topics such as this.
I still see CORBA mentioned in some U.S. defense contractor job postings.
Corporate liability doctrine has two major components.

The first is limited liability to stockholders, whose losses are capped at the value of their investment and not for their full personal assets. That is, if you purchase stock in a company, neither creditors nor plaintiffs may seek compensation above and beyond what's already been invested. This is what is meant in the term "limited liability company", though the protection includes firms not described by that specific term. The protection does not apply to sole proprieterships and simple partnerships, so far as I understand (US law).

<https://www.investopedia.com/terms/l/limitedliability.asp>

The second is the so-called "corporate veil", which further protects specific officers and board members of a firm from personal liability for the firm's actions in many cases. A recent notable (and notorious) example of this has been of Perdue Pharma and the Sackler Family, in which the officers (of Perdue) and the shareholders (the Sacklers) escaped most civil and any criminal liability for the deaths of 500,000 slewn for profits via the company's unwarranted and addictive opioid products.

<https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/piercing_the_corporate_veil>

<https://www.npr.org/2021/09/01/1031053251/sackler-family-imm...>

There is no corporate protection, large or small, for shifts in overall economic conditions, particularly as affects individual workers (as opposed to officers, board members, creditors, and/or investors). Though of course, large corporate interests do have much greater influence over both government policy and legislation, and often secure bailouts ... which seem rarely to reach individual front-line workers.

ProPublica has a list compiled in 2008 extending from the Penn Central Railroad (1970, $3.2 billion) to the Troubled Asset Relief Program (2008, $700 billion), Citigroup (2008, $280 billion), and Bank of America (2009, $142 billion).

I'd strongly recommend you respond to what's actually been said by those you're responding to, and based on factual and relevant information. It makes for a more interesting discussion, even where, or rather, especially where, there is disagreement.
There are still modern CPUs that don't. Division/remainder is much much harder than all the other basic arithmetic operations.
Well now Archive.org runs Farcry!
> I don't see much difference with a tech worker being coerced to spent 8+ hours a day building repulsive advertising and surveillance technologies to put a roof over their head.

Really? When was the last time your boss's customers put their dicks inside of you and filled your body with semen? Your cushy tech job is a world away from prostitution.
They didn't actually say when it's shutting down, correct? They also said you'd get at least 12 months notice and Links would continue to work during that time. While I agree that Google shuts down services left and right, the way it seems to be approaching this one seems less terrible than previous shutdowns.
I dont think it should even be legal to ask for the applicant’s race nor track their students race. I think the most appropriate response to “How many black people are at your college?” would be “I dont know we dont count them.”
There’s a bunch of costs to releasing closed source code as open source. Generally they’d have to have a team of developers review it, they’d need their lawyers to review it and any licenses. That every company that had licensed code used would also need to go through their own process.

At any time, one of them could say no and the process stops. So you’re basically paying for everyone’s time and possibly to relicense some parts. And im sure I’m missing other parts.
Yeah but to be fair Pac-Man is like a turn based game where the turns are taken 120 times a second (or whatever the frame rate is)
> Why would you build your world on such shifting sands, when all those forks could pitch in on Debian long term support instead?

Because RHEL is considered a standard in the enterprise circles, and software may not support distros that aren’t RHEL.

> Or just shell out for RHEL?

Why would you do that for smaller projects? Why would you do that for ephemeral containers? Why would you do that if you don’t care about RHEL support but want RHEL’s stability or are tied to RHEL for some reason?
Earlier this week, there was a thread inspiring people to explore the Python standard library. That’s great, but I recommend installing busybox.

Recent Windows packs a curl.exe but it’s quite different than I expected. busybox wget, like its make and sh, are stripped-down but aspirationally familiar.
no, it is more like this. Imagine building a great city. Each group decides what they would like to make, and their skills. One group decides to make a "book press" , where all the parts of making a paper book are improved. A different group decides to make a lock and key system, so that any time a city person wants to read a book, any book, they must use a key for that lock system. The City government over time is included, to say that "yes, we need these locks for safety"

Years pass.. the thousands of amazing and efficient books are printed, but people now have more books than they know how to use. But the lock system is in more places. The book maker group now has bills to pay, and the interest in new books is less and less. But the lock people are making more money every month.

SO the fine book people decide that they must now build locks.
Interesting how the author explicitly invokes the language of addiction here:

> Its MUCH easier to stop adding to Reddit than it is to quit cold turkey

I deleted RiF from my phone last night, but I don't think I need to replace it with anything, like a smoker switches to patches or gum.

I'm going to spend my time reading blogs (or books!), writing, or just being a bit more bored once in a while. People used to do that, right?
Clean room engineering for a (new&clean) source port?

FreeFarCry, with new assets à la Freedoom?

I wonder how it runs natively on a Raspberry Pi?
With the influx of explorers from other platforms, it might be nice if new usernames stayed green for longer.
Personally I really dislike very specific questions you can Google an answer to in 3s and consequently no one remembers it while doing an actual job. IMO when it comes to verification of actual technical ability the candidate should be told an example of an actual task she/he would be expected to complete routinely and they should either do it during the interview or explain how would they go about doing it.
How do you get up to speed with world events?
Now that Apollo is dead, I have no good reason to use Reddit anymore. But as much as I despised the website itself, I've always found /r/all to be a pretty good aggregator for important international/world news and for any sort of general piece of information that most people would find interesting.

I'm trying to find replacements for this. My partner uses the major news sources' official apps, but I'm not sure if that's the best option for me. What do you personally use to get notified of these categories of news?
>Yeah he started the one of the deadliest wars in the 21 century, threatens to destroy the entire planet with nuclear weapons, but he is not that evil because there were other wars started by the west

That's an extremely dumb take
If it is so easy to ignore the ruling, why they were there to begin with? Why didn't they settle for what you said previously?
Things that are missing for me to have found this helpful:
- how to get a teacher
- anecdotes about how having a teacher affected your life
- why a teacher I found at the pub is better than a udacity course
It’s interesting that universities have already announced that they intend to effectively ignore the rules. I wonder how the courts will deal with massive resistance II.
Ah yeah, along that geodesic, which is far from the total of the universe. But I think I now understand that meant "total duration of the existence of the universe".

I think an answer to that question depends of what you mean by total duration of the universe.

If the photon never gets absorbed by anything, then it goes in forever. If it exists then the universe still exists forever since at least one photon exists forever.
Kaboom.js is very easy to use and I like it so much that I made 3 youtube tutorials on how to make games with it (using v3000).

centos stream is not the source of rhel binaries. it's upstream of rhel.
Correct guess.

I've also never been diagnosed with terminal cancer.

Both are bad. A national database of terminal cancer diagnoses could also do some good - but it would certainly not be a cure.

Notice my phrasing - "Reaction:...should be needed..." etc. Also notice the FBI's phrasing in the article - "...will help combat...by facilitating..." They certainly aren't spinning their DB as anything resembling a cure.

Technically they did, but I know what you meant (not since World War 2)...

> Nothing about Musk's Twitter has indicated that he cares about Open data access or anonymous access to the site

Not so, he tasked George Hotz with getting rid of that horrible popup which prevented you from scrolling down much if you weren't logged in, which was added soon before he bought Twitter. When that was removed I rejoiced. But now Twitter's gone 100x in the opposite direction.
Awesome! Thanks for building this and sharing. I did something similar https://github.com/jflittner/ping_visualizer not too long ago, but yours looks way better!
You forgot to add your "[1]" footnote, but based on your description the equivalent would probably be the US's Government Accountability Office.
It’s called variable shadowing and it’s super common in these days. The rust book introduces it in like the 2nd chapter.
> Access from your Country was disabled by the administrator.

Guess I'll read the article.
> The “I’m sure they have thought” or “I have no experience but” or “Can anyone” is a reddit spillover

This tendency has been around since at least 2007. There was no HN golden age; it has always been like this.
Not learning the same way is not necessarily an argument to not get a teacher or mentor.

I learn in a very specific way; when studying languages, I was not able to find a language partner who was both consistently available and could adapt to my learning methodology. So I went with someone who was consistently available and supplied the teaching framework myself.
As someone who signed up for Lemmy and is planning to replace my Reddit use with it, I hear these points loud and clear. You also make a good point about Google search and how bad it’s become - I see so many stories of people adding “Reddit” to their search in order to get any decent results. This is the natural result when you have every business paying people for SEO and trying to game the system.

Between account walls and search’s indexing problem, it’s become very hard to find small to mid sized active communities on your own. In fact this problem seems to be something people are trying to solve in Reddit communities via related subreddits on the sidebar.

So having gone from using search engine’s to crawl for relevant content that was out there, people are now creating content specifically to end up in Google’s search results - destroying the value search once had. Indicated by what people have done on Reddit, and these discussions about finding alternatives, it seems we are well on our way back to webrings. I welcome this.
Escape Velocity was what got me into coding. I was huge into moding that game when I was younger on my old mac OS 7.x system. Absolutely fell in love with being able to extend the game.

Thanks for bringing that up. Those were good times. And agreed. Would love the source to original EV alone. Gonna take a gander at maelstrom! Thank you!
The problem isn't so much with checking as it is with what kinds of things you can check. OpenAPI offers a very powerless type system. So bad, it's almost not worth using. Not only that, it's designed for JSON, which is an awfully bad format -- so, even if you could check that somehow, you'd still be very limited by what you can actually send.

Also, yeah, all kind of hot garbage you listed will work on Web, because the expectations to the quality of the output is so low... We came to expect Web to be the dumpster fire of programming. Most unfortunately, this kind of garbage spreads into other areas because Web is a universal interface to many things, and there are plenty of programmers who know how to do it.
Even if you don't agree with affirmative action in college admissions, I've never understood the focus on its impact on Asian American applicants as a reason to reject the idea.

The premise behind affirmative action is to balance out racial factors that lead to minority demographics being underrepresented, in this case in elite colleges. If some minority demographics are not underrepresented, that's great, but not obviously a reason to scrap the idea for those that are...why does it have to be all or nothing? You could argue that Asian American college attendance success is proof that there are no racial factors to balance out, but that seems silly as not every minority demographic in the US faces identical situations.
I suppose we'll soon see a good % of phone network usage being spent on AI callers talking to AI filters/receptionists. Like all the Internet packets dedicated to captchas and blocking email spam, bot traffic, etc, phone systems will evolve to better filter and handle automated vs. human calls as a tsunami of AI callers approaches. It's going to be a tough battle because it's really difficult to discern from voice traffic alone.
If a question is asked on Discord, then the answer will be lost in Discord as well, not findable via search engines. I personally think the move to Discord was a mistake.
I am not sure whether anything from the Racket Discourse forum is findable via search engines. But that is also merely a JS only forum, so not ideal.
There used to be the Google groups thingy including a mailing list. Google, so not ideal either. But at least it had a mailing list.

It would be great to have a way of communication again, that does not require JS or Google or Discord or any other closed thing or walled garden. Especially for a programming language. Of those listed JS is probably the smallest inconvenience, so if I had a question now, I would probably prefer going to the damn discourse thing to ask it, rather than joining the Discord server.
If we're talking about a five minute delay in email, the user may get bored of waiting and decide not to log in. If we're talking an hour long delay, the link in the email may be expired and won't work any longer. I think I've seen email links that expire as quickly as 15 minutes.

It's possible some mail servers would have very short retry windows, so if your mail server was offline briefly a sending server could give up trying and fail the delivery. For a login link that expires quickly, it's probably not worth retrying for several hours or days.
Hot take: do we really need intuitive explanations for anything? I love 3b1b videos for example, but I am more in the "mechanical application of rules" camp rather than "a-ha moment" camp.

That's why I hated integrals at the calculus course. It's all weird tricks all the way down - which a mortal couldn't come up with.
Great way to put it.

The structure of the firm dictates it’s future.
> and Oracle put out absolutely insane amounts of marketing at the time

You mean Sun? Java was already everywhere when Oracle acquired it.
I doubt it. The Windows sources are available officially through Microsoft if you're spending enough money and your project requires them.
Reddit apps for which patches and/or patched versions are available
Value to whom? Twitter is more valuable to its users, to journalists who embed tweets in stories, and to web users at large who follow links and search results if it does not require a login to view posts.

Of course, none of those people own Twitter, and it may well be more valuable to its owners if it does require a login.
That’s not what I’m talking about though: those aren’t interactive. You could dangerouslySetInnerHTML with them (arguably you should, it’s a waste of VDOM otherwise) and they’d be just fine.

Crytek still makes graphical masterpieces (and IMO crysis has one of the best FPS stories).
Crysis 1 and 2 remastered are very good, and crysis 3 is still a masterpiece after more than 10 years.

And crysis 4 is coming.
You can just submit the topic one more time, typically moderator will do a macroexpand if the topic is appearing more than once. But the problem is that the substack link stopped working, so at least you need to find the content somewhere else. Another option is just to use your own blog for writing your meaningful bits of information and then submit a new link.

I have never noticed that an old topics are not available for answering, but I appreciate it because if they would be available, the macroexpand can not work as intended. Also I never read more than 1 page of "threads", so what you want to do is writing to a void.
Christian/Judeo (as well as ancient Greek) thought is probably indebted to the thought of places like Egypt and Ethiopia as well.

Interestingly, I think in both The Illiad and The Odyssey there is a mention of a god making a trip to Ethiopia.
Voting in a two party system is pretty clearly binary if you’re really choosing to participate at all. The off-script big-brain move in this case isn’t abstaining from voting, it’s discussing changing the voting/election system to break the two party dominance.

Abstaining from voting bc you’re unhappy with the current options doesn’t make you super smart galaxy brain guy.
I suspect Universities will still prefer some races over others. Its a pretty deeply rooted world view held by people who tend to bemoan the legitimacy of the law.
Sr90 emits 1MeV beta. Very very bad if you ingest it but easy to protect yourself if you're near it.

The Cs137 is a lot harder to be around.

And we don't want either in the water or food chain.
Honestly, every time I move to a new city I just sign up for the closest gym near my house and take a random trainer from the gym. If I don't get along with them after 1-3 sessions I just ask to switch with someone else. 90% of the time I just keep the same trainer.
> Trident, the Internet Explorer engine.

Not really dead because it’s still shipped with enterprise Edge for sites that enable IE mode: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/edge-ie-mode
OpenAPI isn't worth using. It's so pathetically bad, that it's not worth the effort.

Those who use it (eg. Kubernetes) do it for show, to put another badge on their Github repo page, to sound more sophisticated and "in the know" than they actually are.
I was thinking more about SSRI's, which make up over half (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8450889/) of US pharmacy orders. While we do know that they work for some people, they only work for 20% of people (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK361016/). They also come with common side effects that can lower quality of life (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2719451/). And we do not understand how they work in the first place (https://www.discovermagazine.com/health/how-antidepressants-...). Plenty of parallels with the common lamentations over generative AI.
