I wanted to get into a more technical role and a lot of these roles were in customer service, sales, support, fraud prevention, etc until my most recent 2 jobs, which have been in software development.

The other aspect is that I will view a company the same way they view me - a resource and a means to an end. I've been asked in several of those interviews "You don't seem to hang around a lot, how do we know you won't leave in a year" and I tend to answer that "You don't. The same way I don't know that some economic downturn isn't on the horizon and that you would instead scrap me a year down the road.". Some don't like it and engage in that discussion more and some accept it.

At the end of the day, I'm here to do a task you hired me to do, I'll do it well (they can check a ton of references in this respect) and when I'll find something better I'll leave. If I don't get hired because of this, it's not a job I would want anyway. I'm pretty tired of how capitalism and "the market" applies only to workers but it never seems to apply to companies and when it does then you're "not a team player" or "not in it for the long run" or, as we've seen recently on HN, "not part of the family".

So to do my part I always advise / suggest to friends and family to quit. Start looking for something else, get some practice, see what's out there, see if you could get paid more for your skills and see if you could do more interesting work. Those are all possibilities. Unfortunately, most people like to stick with the devil they know and then end up scared and shocked when they get made redundant. Hope that this explains it. PS - the job I most recently accepted seems great, the team and the product seem interesting and I'm looking forward to getting stuck in. However, that doesn't mean that if I start getting bored, if change isn't being effected at the rate I push for and if the product/team turn out to be not great, I might decide to move on.
Not an original PC game, but the PC port of Caveman Ninja, VGA and also from 1991, was amazing. Smooth parallax scroll with tons of sprites in screen. It recently got a remake on Steam.
I've heard about that many many times yet I don't believe I've ever experienced it (I'm in the UK and in my late 40s).

I am a contractor and for the most part it's still, thankfully, a meritocracy. So experience is, in my opinion, the biggest factor.

I have no doubt that sometimes, perhaps for the entry-level roles, they will discriminate against age but for senior roles, due to the cost of the candidate and the potential damage they can do, a younger candidate without the experience, could affect them badly.
The person posting did not say they had trouble filling the position, only that for positions that do open up they get thousands of applicants.
I skimmed the linked technical paper until I got the implementation details. It's a tree of integers. This is similar to my thoughts of a latch grid, which is basically an increment and if statement against a grid to see what is ready.

I was imagining a programming language that has "latches" or "barriers" as a primitive of the language.

Barriers and CountdownLatches are just If statements if a number is equal I think.

But I want barriers or latches that can schedule "something else" if the barrier is not ready.

How many times have you been deep in the depths of some code and realised you need to wait for something in another part of the system to become true?

I think lifecycles and state machines and barriers and latches are related, so I'm trying to define a syntax that looks like this:

substate1(a) substate2(b) = substate3(a) substate4(a) | substate5(b) substate6(b)

When substate1 and substate2 are "fired", the state machines waits for substate3 and substate4, then when they fire it waits for substate5 and substate6.

I can either rely on barriers or latches or rely on explicit scheduling to implement this state machine.

EDIT: It occurred to me that Go's channels and CSP and its send/receive operations are like barriers.
The US has plenty of people looking for remote jobs, not much incentive to hire from overseas unless the employer needs very specialized skills not available in the US. Sometimes the salary differentials make it worthwhile to hire from overseas, but that differential has to get large enough to make up for the hassle. That offshored outsourcing business mainly revolves around larger agencies that have a lot of employees hired out to US companies.

Companies don't hire corporations as employees. For freelancing you might want a legal business entity, but freelancers generally don't create tax/legal/accounting problems for their clients regardless of where the freelancer lives, so not really a concern. Besides timezones and questions about taxes and visas, companies don't want to have to learn about and comply with foreign labor laws, which they have to do if they start hiring employees in other countries. Employers who do have experience hiring people from other countries may have experienced language and cultural differences that make them hesitate.

If you want to work remote for US companies while living in Europe freelancing is the simplest path, with the fewest issues for customers to object to. You don't need a US business entity. Taxes remain your problem as a freelancer, not the customers'.

I have worked remotely for US companies for over a decade. I probably have an easier time finding US customers because I have US citizenship and speak American English, but I think contacts and work experience in US businesses counts for a lot more.
Do you adjust your resume before applying to each role? If so how? If not, why not?

Also do you send a cover letter?
The question 'what is this thing' is probably best answered by the Github project page: https://github.com/vyos

It's a decent-ish option if you need advanced routing functionality; one thing to keep in mind, though, is that unless you're OK with running unstable 'nightly' code, you'll be spending USD 8K+ on an annual basis.
When a corporation runs out of money, the managers get an assignment to hand out a high number of performance improvement plans to their direct reports. Those who can leave, prefer to resign. Those who can’t, stay and play along and face either no pay adjustment / no promotion or risk getting fired for “underperforming” after a while. Either way, the company achieves its goals of reducing the costs and headcount.

Of course this works only if you have a well-oiled HR machine and docile managers, which is typical for every Big Corp out there.
A lot of times, you simply can't solve the source of stress or it takes a lot of time before you're able to. How do I solve having cancer or any other health issue? Like most things in life, it's not something that's solvable overnight. Why not reduce the emotional/psychological suffering you feel before you can actually solve the problem? In fact, that reduction in emotional distress can help you find better solutions to whatever problems you're dealing with. I don't see any downsides unless for some reason you think meditation is supposed to be the solution to life's problems, when it's just a method for handling your inner life.
If you're the person in charge of planning product A's road map, you do need to take into account platform schedules, and those do depend on every other product that uses the platform.

And of course the choice is sometimes simple, but it's often not. It's often the case that both Product A and Product B are breadwinners. One might need a feature that can bring $1M in revenue, and take between 3-4 months, and another might have a feature that should bring in $200k in revenue, but take 0.5-1 month. Which do you prioritize? What if both must be done by some date, but for one there is a chance to push a customer to accept a later date, but it's not sure yet? What happens when it later turns out that the estimation was overly optimistic and it will take twice as long?

Was an SDM of a team of brand new SDEs standing up a new service. In a code review, pointed to an issue that could cause a Sev2, and the SDE pushed back "that's like one in a million chance, at most". Pointed out once we were dialled up to 500k TPS (which is where we needed to be at), that was 30 times a minute... "You want to be on call that week?". Insist on Highest Standards takes on a different meaning in that stack compared to most orgs.
Mindfulness took one small technique out of the Buddhist system that feels rational & scientific.

It kind of works. But the corpus of Buddhism is what makes it powerful. And this is hard to make palatable for the West.

The main goal of buddhism is giving you meaning & joy in life despite of stress or tragedy.

Very important aspects of Buddhism that make the whole much more powerful are:

- Living & acting out of compassion (boddhicitta): if your main focus is other not yourself, a huge relief of worries is gone, and meaning arises naturally.

- Accepting change. There are 2 ways to see change: "nothing matters" or "no need to worry, just relax". Buddhist meditation is geared to getting you to the positive kind.

- Understanding emptiness (or space) as the nature of all experiences, both rationally but in the end resting in this experience in meditation means dissolving into everything and experiencing deep bliss.

And of course the power devotion & social aspects of all religion can not be overlooked, good & bad.

My teachings are from Tibetan kind, which is more mystical & compassionate oriented then the southern countries which are more focus on self-actualization (they teach the Vispasanna retreats)

Maximum stack usage can be calculated in the presence of recursion. Tail calls can be handled as branches instead of nested call frames, but also non-tail calls are tolerable if you have (or can infer) some measure to determine maximum call stack depth.

It's a pain, and the type system rejecting any recursion is certainly simpler, but that's not a strict requirement.

From the perspective of a distro, I am sure that fixing bugs in the current version takes way less work than building the next version of the distro.

So I suggest it is worth building the next version 5% slower and use the free 5% of resources to fix security issues in the last one.

And by this, extending security fixes for the last version to 50 years.
The fact that we aren't sure it is a sarcasm is hilarious.

In some ways, it's the same situation. However, the big difference is that I'm not a colleague to the customers waiting for this feature. If they get frustrated, (1) I don't get to see them at coffee time being frustrated with my team, and (2) they have a quick fix for their frustration: but from someone else. Internal customers don't typically have that luxury.

It's a fork vyatta[1], the same system used by Ubiquiti for EdgeOS.
Yes, it's Debian with a declarative configuration system. It works more or less similarly to NixOS, if you know about that: basically it uses a bunch of perl scripts to install and set up software from a single unified configuration file, hiding all the implementation details.

Stress is all about perception. With mindfulness you can practice changing the way you look at things. If you practice zooming out of things that induce fear and see a bigger picture this will generally reduce stress.

The mind has a natural tendency to zoom in on scary things. I guess that is our prey-animal heritage.

Certainly, for rightfully stressful situations immediate action is needed and mindfulness is not a solution, but in modern life almost all stress comes from the imagination. If you are not conscious of your own thinking fearful thoughts may suck you in indefinitely.

Mindfulness (and psychedelics) can greatly help with becoming (more) conscious of fearful thoughts and that enables you to deal with them constructively.

Clearly it depends on the type mindfulness. From the paper:

> mindfulness is typically defined as “the awareness that emerges through paying attention on purpose, in the present moment, and nonjudgmentally to the unfolding of experience moment by moment”. Core MBP elements are mindfulness meditation training, doing things mindfully such as eating or brushing one’s teeth, and collective and individual inquiry with a qualified teacher, using participatory learning processes.

Probably heightening consciousness while brushing your teeth is not the most direct way to mitigating stress.
It depends on the nature of the stress. If you're over worked you don't have time for mindfulness apps.
A fundamental difficulty with explaining spiritual matters is lack of a common referent. For reason of this lack it is necessary to use similes. The particular misinterpretations of any given individual cannot be anticipated, so it is best to answer your question through dialogue.
This is not absurd. You're not a <insert language/framework/specialization> drone. Being good at your job requires many more skills than that.

I'd argue that interviewing well is strongly correlated with skills that are valuable for a SWE role. It's not perfect, but overall I do feel like there is signal there.
> everybody doesn't automatically have the right to a horse and the land required to support and feed that horse

No one is claiming that you have a right to have someone else buy you a car or a horse, any more than you have a right to have someone else buy you a radio station.

> to travel through a city with a horse on a daily basis without having to contribute back to the very real piles of horse shit a day in the hundred of tonnes that needs to be cleaned away

Ordinances that require you to clean up after your animal or have emissions controls on your car are orthogonal to whether you have a right to operate one in general.

Which doesn't really describe a fork to me. At least not a hard fork, maybe the softest kind of fork there is.
Sure, there are different ways of building platforms, and some leave the end-users with fewer options than others. But ultimately, if you have a separation between platform and product teams, the product teams will depend on the platform team to provide a better fishing rod to catch a bigger fish, they aren't empowered to enhance their own rod. And if the product teams are empowered to modify the platform, then you're actually implementing another model than what the article and book seem to suggest.
I'm curious, why does it have to be a video? Is that a better proof in any way? Wouldn't you then say "oh we can't know if the video is actually authentic"?
As I say, we might not be able to "understand" the nematode's brain before we're able to understand its constituent parts. We don't really understand the neuron itself. Nor do we understand glial cells and their function.

...Nor, indeed, do we fully understand _any_ cell. Case in point: Both neurons and glial cells feature Golgi apparatuses, which remain mysterious...

As we neither understand nor can simulate a brain made up of neurons and glia, what makes you think that our lack of a nematode simulation is a big deal? Seems to me that it is rather to be expected. But when our biological models improve, simulating a nematode brain -- or _any_ brain -- will not be beyond us.
The NES and the GB were tiles based I think. They worked games on "sprite", basis with layers, so 'accelerating' 2D had a lot of sense.
Breathing practices objectively have an effect on our body and nobody can counter this.

Buddhist ideology on the other hand is up to debate and everyone is free to try it or believe it.

Maybe in your experience meditation is enhanced by believing all that stuff, but that is your prerogative. I can do mindfulness and go to a psychologist instead of doing meditation and going to a temple because maybe that oriental stuff feels too alien and doesn't seem right to me.
The key is this:

While you browse various job boards if there is no direct contact to a person or the email / phone is obfuscate, just find contact details online.

I often pay for various services that can give you contact details based on linkedin profile - give them a call and most often then not you will have interview shortly after.

Do the work to reach out to those people, establish rapport and you will be in a good place. If you are great professional they will make sure to keep you on their roster as an ACE candidate.
VyOS is unfortunately completely useless for larger applications, since it's difficult to impossible to automate due to it's unique way of applying configurations. Don't get me wrong, for manual administration it's great, there's a lot of missed automation potential given that it's just Linux underneath.

As an example, the Ansible modules for VyOS are basicially just variations of an adapted ansible.builtin.shell, instead of offering to manage state in a more first class manner (via attributes and values):

Finding a recruiter to apply through jobs which the recruiter is contracted or employed to hire for is very different than sending unsolicited spams to employees at a target company, even if both can happen on LinkedIn. It was the former suggestion that was being given.

> best-looking PC platformer well into the 1990s

I think I'd pick Prince Of Persia, not to diminish Commander Keen a single bit but I always found PoP visuals and game dynamics unmatched for its time. I'm also getting biased for two reasons: I played PoP when I believe I was 7 years old and made a magic impression on me when I first played it and is also is my favourite platformer of all times. But of course PoP lacks of the scrolling at all which is Commander Keen's black magic.
In the USA at least it’s highly recommended not to include a photo, even. It puts the employer in an awkward position if you give unsolicited information that they’re legally required not to consider.

If you want a free mindfulness app you should consider searching for the one developed by the US Department of Veteran Affairs on your platform's app store. It usually ranks very low on the list because not many people know about it and because all the other apps market themselves heavily.

Unlike all the garbage apps which ask you for subscriptions and DLCs just to play 10 minutes of audio, every single thing is free and freely downloadable. It also has customization options, a journal, a very simple and rational interface and a small corpus of advice.
Vortex Shedding
Yes, and those recall messages only exist in the closed systems where such retraction is possible, or in the open systems which send those messages that are more designed for the closed systems.

The implementation I described with a slightly delayed send doesn’t use those recall messages, since the email being sent doesn’t actually get sent until after the delay. I believe this is how Gmail’s version of the feature works, for example.
That is one important aspect, absolutely. But I don't think it's the main point. There are normally good reasons for which the platform itself is necessary and useful. Working around it, while a good option to have, is rarely ideal - or else you fall back to the model where every team invents and builds its own tools. Renouncing (or worse, forking) the whole platform because a feature can't be prioritized to be added to it is not exactly a great outcome.
